An Important Election For obvious reasons, the big political races—for U.S. president, U.S. Senate and so on—are getting a lot of attention from media and the public alike. However, many not-so-big races are not getting a lot of attention—and they should, because what these elected officials do affects all of us, directly and often immediately. Some examples: • Do you care what happens on and along roads within Pima County? Do you care about open space, or where your property taxes go? Then you should be interested in what’s going on with the Pima County Board of Supervisors. You can read all about two of the most hotly contested races, in Jim Nintzel’s cover-story package, starting on Page 16. • Does someone you know have plans to attend Pima Community College? Well, then you’re probably interested in what the college’s five-member governing board is up to. For example, the board made waves recently by abandoning the school’s open-admissions policy; in other words, prospective students now need to pass a test before going to Pima. And then there are matters involving how those Pima tuition dollars are being spent. You can read more about this race on Page 14. • Might you ever have a reason to contact law enforcement? Then you probably care about the issues in the Pima County sheriff ’s race. This year, the incumbent, Clarence Dupnik, is facing his most serious challenge in years; read all about that on Page 11. We also have a fine story on the Congressional District 1 race on Page 13; meanwhile, The Skinny, which starts on Page 9, is chock full of updates on the U.S. Senate contest and the competition in Congressional District 2. This is important stuff, folks; keep reading the Tucson Weekly and TucsonWeekly.com through Election Day and beyond for the latest news.

have a few questions (rhetorical and otherwise): • OK, ’fess up: Who thought it was a good idea to run Gabby Saucedo Mercer against Raúl Grijalva? Somebody high up in the Republican Party had to have had a “fight fire with fire” moment, and then others had to have agreed. She’s H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E! • A lot was made of the numbers thrown around during the first presidential debate, most of which were false. For example, Mitt Romney claimed that 50 percent of all “green energy” companies that received government funding went bust when, in fact, the percentage is in the single-digits. (For some wacky reason, Barack Obama decided not to challenge that.) But the number that struck me most was when Mitt Romney said, “I’ve been in business for 25 years.” Dude, you’re 65 years old. What happened to the other 40 years? We’ll give you 25 years to account for all the schoolin’ and begattin’ in the early days. Then you were governor for four years, and you spent a couple of years with the Salt Lake City Olympics (which is generous, since records show you were still handling your bidness and reaping the benefits). That still leaves almost a decade missing. Some on your side might argue that you’ve been running for president for a while, but you made $14 million last year. That had to have come from business. Certainly, you’re not in the hands-on, fun end where you get to fire people and ship jobs overseas, but you’re still in business. Besides, your running mate, Paul Ryan, constantly refers to you as a businessman. If you can’t get the small numbers right, how do you expect us to believe that you’ll be able to handle the large numbers? Oh, another thing: I’ve heard both Romney and his wife crow about the fact that he didn’t accept the money he inherited from his millionaire father. However, his father paid for Mitt’s exclusive boardingschool education, Mitt’s college education and Mitt’s lawschool education, and he bought the newlyweds a house! Other than that, Romney didn’t accept money from his father. Actually, that seems rather petty. I mean, who among us did not have our first house bought for us by our parents? • I recently saw these headlines: “Texting, Smoking Woman Falls Off 60-Foot Cliff.” “Ohio Woman Killed by Falling Llama.” “Man Wins Roach-Eating Contest, Dies.” Who can read those and not ascribe to Darwin’s natural selection? • Will somebody please correct University of Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez’s grammar in that TV com-

RANDOM SHOTS By Rand Carlson

mercial for the bank? I’m a big fan of what Rodriguez has done with the Wildcats program, even after watching Arizona blow that late-game, 14-point lead against nationally ranked Stanford. But that commercial drives me nuts! He’s walking down the street and saying something to the effect of, “When you move to a new city, you need someone you can count on.” Then he says (and I quote) “For my family and I, that’s … (some bank).” I can’t really tell you the name of the bank, because after he says, “For my family and I … ,” I just hear screaming in my head. Please tell him that the rule of thumb is that you take out the words “my family” and then go from there. He wouldn’t say “for I”; he would say “for me.” This is important. He’s a leader of young men, and then there is that omnipresent stereotype of some football players not speeching good. • Exactly how low can someone go? Dinesh D’Souza, who recently became a very rich man by making a “fear the Negro” documentary called 2016: Obama’s America, now has a book out in which he scrapes the bottom by slut-ifying President Obama’s long-dead mother. D’Souza writes, “Ann’s sexual adventuring may seem a little surprising in view of the fact that she was a large woman who kept getting larger.” Really?! What a jackass! • I have another question for Mitt Romney, one that really needs to be asked by someone before the election: How can somebody who is separated by one generation from polygamy dare to come out against same-sex marriage? It seems rather hypocritical to me; they’re both outside of what many consider to be the mainstream, and I’m sure there are a whole lot of people who would find polygamy way more offensive than same-sex marriage. I’m a lifelong Catholic, just like Joe Biden and that department-store mannequin he debated last week. But my marriage to my wife isn’t threatened by what other adults do. On this matter, I swerve way over into extreme libertarianism. If consenting adults want to enter freely into nontraditional arrangements, including plural- and same-sex marriages, I really don’t care. (Let’s be clear here: What is going on in places like Colorado City does not involve consenting adults and is, therefore, institutionalized child abuse.) Mitt Romney has received a pass from the media concerning his religion, which is the way it should be. But his stance on same-sex marriage represents the height of hypocrisy and deserves to be addressed.

The Renegade Rollergirls of Tucson play roller derby with no rules or referees HIGHTOWER

y day, they are moms, call-center workers and restaurant employees. By night, they are a fierce and competitive sisterhood ready to fight tooth and nail for victory. It’s OK if they break some teeth, get black eyes or purple-colored bruises. These are the women of Renegade Rollergirls of Tucson. Playing nice isn’t an option. Wanting to put the dirty back in derby, several girls from multiple Arizona roller-derby teams formed the Renegade Rollergirls league in 2004. Besides the original Phoenix league, there are now leagues in Tucson; San Diego; Los Angeles; Orange County, Calif.; and Oregon. Suzi Berrie formed Renegade Rollergirls of Tucson, or RRoT, in April 2011.

Let us now assess the state of the free press in this land of … well, press freedom. The assessment? Pathetic. Not because of some government clampdown, but because of increasing press pusillanimity. The latest decline in hard-nosed, investigative reporting is something called “quote approval.” It began with public-relations Berrie is one of the founders of Tucson Roller Derby, a flacks for public officials and political canleague that’s part of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association. didates demanding that reporters agree—as Renegade Rollergirls do not belong to the WFTDA and a price of being granted an interview—to play by the motto “any surface, any time.” This means submit any quotes they intend to use from playing on banked tracks, in parking lots, on sport courts or the interview to the interviewee’s staff for even in the middle of the street. approval. Thus, when Mr. Big blurts out Renegade-style roller derby is true to its name—no rules something shocking, stupid or actually or referees. “We have no penalties, so we can basically do newsworthy, Mr. Big’s staff of bowdlerizers anything. We can grab someone and throw them, tackle can tidy it up, or even erase it. Bzzzzzzzztt, them or trip them,” says Berrie, known on the circuit as Clit it’s gone, as though it was never uttered. Eatwood. It’s not surprising that today’s media-senThis, of course, causes injuries. Sometimes bloody, broken sitive political figures (including Barack and bandaged, these women aren’t afraid to get banged up a Obama and Mitt Romney) would demand bit. They even display photos of their injuries on their this extraordinary editorial control over what website, rrot.weebly.com. comes out of their own mouths. But it’s “They are awards, in a way,” Berrie says, “to show people utterly despicable that media bosses and this isn’t fake. This isn’t some staged thing. We are real women reporters have so gutlessly caved in. It going out there and beating the crap out of each other.” reduces reporters from hard-nosed diggers Spectators are in for some surprises. “When I am looking to brown-nosed beggars, and it makes a (at the crowd), I see people standing up out of their chairs mockery of our democracy’s need for a free press. Yet many of America’s major publications have meekly surrendered their reporters’ freeTHIS MODERN WORLD By Tom Tomorrow dom to this restraint. Now corporate executives have realized: Hey, we can emasculate the press, too. Wall Street barons, Silicon Valley hotshots and even the bosses of media conglomerates are demanding (and getting) quote approval for stories about their operations. The media columnist for The New York Times admits that he’s also succumbed to these demands: “If it’s (a quote) I feel I absolutely need,” he recently wrote, “I start negotiating.” Never mind that it’s his independence and journalistic integrity he’s bargaining away.

with their mouths open—like, ‘Did that really happen?’” At their first game, the girls got a surprise of their own. A nun dressed in full habit was in the audience. “I thought I had a concussion and was seeing things,” says Dotty Shaw (aka. Smacka B. Yotch). Shaw is the prospect manager, meaning she gets the newbies ready for play. She says she likes the game because it’s aggressive. “It’s the best sport to get out your aggression, but still be friends. You can punch each other and kick each other, and at the end of the game, you can shake hands … and say, ‘Wow, that was a nice hit.’” At a recent practice, Shaw was coaching the players, frequently calling out tips and compliments, like, “Hit ’em low,” “Look behind you,” “Nice fall” and “Nice hit.” “We look scary; we look mean,” Shaw says. “But we’re really sweethearts and are there for each other.” The practice atmosphere is relaxed, with spouses and children watching from the sidelines. There is also plenty of laughter. When I ask Amanda Jardee (Death Blossom) to spell her last name, she clarifies that the fourth letter is a “d, like Daniel or daffodils or duckling.” And then she exclaims, “Death Blossom! Improving your vocabulary—and not just with swears! … I also do weddings and bar mitzvahs.” She cracks up those around her, including Felicia Mathis Gregory (Twiggy Bumpkins). Gregory’s name comes from the fact that a former coworker called her Twiggy, due to her slight frame. On the back of her uniform, the words “104 pounds” are written in glittery print. Bumpkins refers to her best tactic in the game—bumping people. Gregory’s presence dispels the myth that you need to be big and burly to play the game. Players are every shape and size, and they range in age from the early 20s to mid-40s. They come from all walks of life and professions. Besides working at restaurants and call centers, players work at a law office, a hospital and an optometrist’s office. Big, small, young or older, these women clearly have fun playing the game, even if it means getting into a fight with an opposing player. Says Jardee: “Derby is one of the few places where you can punch people in the face, and that makes you friends with them.” Renegade Rollergirls of Tucson play their “creepy season closer” at 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 20, at Tucson Indoor Sports Center, 1065 W. Grant Road. The Mission Creeps will perform. Admission is $12, or $10 if you come in costume. RRoT’s next season begins in March.

Sheriff Candidate Mark Napier Makes His Case to ‘Weekly’ Readers Greetings, Tucson Weekly readers. I know this is not a publication that you would normally expect a candidate with an “R” by his name to approach. I am the Republican candidate for Pima County sheriff. While this is a partisan race, I do not believe that public safety is a partisan issue; it is rather a human issue, a community issue. All people want to feel safe where they live, work and play. All people want to have confidence in the professionalism of their lawenforcement officers and the people who lead them. I am not running to only be the sheriff of the Republicans of Pima County; it is my sincere desire to serve all people of Pima County. If elected, I will be a visible, engaged and accessible sheriff for our county. I will be visible working with our community and neighborhood groups, nonprofits and the business community. I will also be visible in our schools, discussing with our young people the dangers associated with drug and alcohol abuse, and the violence associated with gangs. We will engage in open dialogue about crime and public-safety issues. We will look at root causes of crime and find community-based solutions involving all the stakeholders. Importantly, I will be easily accessible to all of you. I will use social media to send out information and exchange ideas. There will be an “Ask the Sheriff ” link on the PCSD website so you can send questions/concerns directly to me. The media, all media, will find me easy to reach. Personnel at the Tucson Weekly already have my personal cell number. I have a solid education in social science. My undergraduate degree is in social psychology. This allows me to see the connections between various social strains and crime problems. Crime does not occur in a vacuum or as an event completely isolated and devoid of connection to the larger community. I have a master’s degree in criminal justice from Boston University. This has provided me with a greater depth of understanding of the complexities of the criminal-justice system and of criminal justice as an academic discipline. I have 28 years of law-enforcement experience, the bulk of that right here in our community. I served as the captain of the Operations Division South of the Tucson Police Department, headquartered near Park Avenue and Ajo Way. During my career with TPD, I served in virtually every type of assignment. I maintain close ties to many in the law-enforcement community in Southern Arizona. The strength of these working relationships will help the cause of public safety for all of us. I hope that you can support me as a candidate. I have made my home in Pima County and have a stake in ensuring it remains a great place to live. I know that the “R” by my name may give some of you pause. I only ask for a reasonable 8 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

GUEST COMMENTARY look. More information about me can be found on my website (www.marknapier4sheriff.org). It is also easy to make contact with me through the website. I will personally respond to any e-mails. Mark Napier

Ethan Orr Deserves More Than a Hat Tip; He Deserves an Endorsement The following is a letter to the editor regarding your choice and explanation for District 9 in the Arizona House of Representatives. Here goes. I was disappointed to read your recommendations for the Arizona House of Representatives, not for your endorsements for the “amply qualified” Mohur Sarah Sidhwa and Victoria Steele, but for the lack of an endorsement of Ethan Orr for what appears to be because he is a Republican, albeit a “moderate” one. Mr. Orr has accomplished much under the most dire of circumstances and should be given a brief paragraph as to why the Tucson Weekly staff tipped their hats to him. A good place to start would be with www.linkagestucson.org, a nonprofit company that he founded that helps physically challenged and special-needs individuals find jobs with businesses. Too often, it’s red vs. blue, liberal vs. conservative, what-you-perceive-as-right vs. what-youperceive-as wrong. Sometimes, the best candidate is a Democrat; sometimes, it is a Republican, but let’s not dismiss someone completely for being one or the other. Scott Meredith

Consider the Independents’ Perspective Regarding Prop 121 I noticed that there was no mention of independents in your spiel on Proposition 121 (the top two/open primaries initiative). This troubles me, given that the initiative, (whose petition was) signed by 369,000 voters, is aimed at allowing Arizona independents (some 30 percent of registered voters in Arizona) a voice and access to the publicly funded, albeit private-interest elections. And, no, those 30 percent are not merely “undecideds.” Instead, we are citizens who put candidates before party platform. I hope you reconsider your opinion. Ellen Rauch The Tucson Weekly editorial board fully stands behind the decision to recommend a “no” vote on Prop 121, for the reasons we cited.

OPINION

Martha McSally: Washington, D.C., is broken—and when something is broken, I fix it BY MARTHA MCSALLY

he American economy is suffering from a severe case of the “uns”— unemployment, underemployment, unfunded mandates, unaffordable health care and unsustainable debt. Congress is adding to the problem by creating uncertainty by failing to address these challenges in a bipartisan, thoughtful, pragmatic way. We have had (until recently) the longest stretch of high unemployment (43 months above 8 percent) since the Great Depression. Gross domestic product is growing at an anemic pace.

The median net worth of American households declined 35 percent between 2005 and 2010. Median household incomes declined by 8 percent between 2007 and 2011. Four million Americans lost their homes to foreclosures, and 9 million more have been served papers. Seniors are suffering from low interest rates that diminish the value of their hardearned savings for retirement. College students are graduating with huge debt and moving back in with their parents, unable to find good jobs. Our debt recently topped $16 trillion, equating to $50,000 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. And we continue to run annual deficits of more than $1 trillion. In addition, Medicare will be insolvent in 2024, and Social Security in 2033. Although the causes of the initial recession are complex, the recovery has been hampered by a failure of leadership. Washington, D.C., should be charged with dereliction of duty. Democrats, Republicans and independents all agree the country is on the wrong path. But instead of solving problems and bringing certainty to the tax, regulatory, spending and debt environments, they pick petty partisan fights. Businesses are justifiably hesitant to invest or hire, since there is no confidence in their future tax rates, government mandates and penalties such as the president’s unaffordable health-care program. Banks are not lending due to unknowns in the new regulations, and small-business owners are struggling to get credit to start up or grow. The looming “fiscal cliff ” created by Congress adds even more uncertainty, further disincentivizing growth, investment and job creation. Due to the failures of Congress, we face tax increases on all incomes, plus deep cuts in defense and domestic programs. This will put America into a deeper recession while risking our national security. Members of Congress are more concerned about their next election than the next generation. Washington is broken, and the economic uncertainty they have created is wrong. When I see something is broken, I fix it. When something is wrong, I stand up to make it right. We need to change Washington by changing the people we send there. We must get our economy going again

and put people back to work. Small businesses are the engine of growth, creating seven of every 10 jobs in America. We need to reform the tax code, simplify it and lower the corporate rates to bring jobs back to the U.S. We need to roll back suffocating regulations that are hampering economic growth. We need to access our energy resources, and improve education and job-training. We need to reduce government spending and ensure our military is ready to protect us. Ron Barber voted against multiple bipartisan legislative initiatives that would help small businesses and bring certainty to the economic situation. He voted against legislation that would put a moratorium on new regulatory burdens on small businesses. He voted against the “No More Solyndras Act,” in effect supporting the failed stimulus program that put taxpayers’ money into failing companies. He voted to rob $716 billion from Medicare to pay for a government takeover of health care that increases taxes and penalties on small businesses. He voted against streamlining the permit process for American energy development and simplifying the tax code. Finally, he voted against a bipartisan plan to avoid “sequestration,” the devastating cuts that will risk our national security and result in thousands of lost jobs here in Southern Arizona. Due to my commitment to fight for economic growth, small businesses and putting middle-class people back to work, and Mr. Barber’s anti-small-business and anti-jobs voting record, I have been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Home Builders and Associated Builders and Contractors. I will bring leadership, guts, education and a results-driven mindset to Congress to lead efforts toward bipartisan solutions that bring certainty to the economy, empower small businesses, and put our middle class back to work. Too much is at stake, and I am committed to championing thoughtful, pragmatic solutions to cure us of the “uns.” Martha McSally is the Republican candidate for Arizona’s Congressional District 2.

SunZia opponents call the power project classic greenwashing

SENATE SHOWDOWN

Volts and Revolt ottonwood-laced stretches of the San Pedro River are a bird-watcher’s Xanadu, home to blue grosbeaks and green kingfishers, Western tanagers and crissal thrashers. But if power-industry honchos have their way, those feathered denizens may soon be dodging 130-foot steel-lattice towers and 500-kilovolt transmission lines. Still, the success of any such undertaking is only as good as the pitchmen behind it. And in this case, those promoters deserve kudos: The federal government has bought this 530-mile power-line project wholesale, under the guise that it will hook as-yet-nonexistent renewableenergy generators into the grid. The only generator sure to connect is an already-permitted natural-gas plant near the town of Bowie, east of Tucson. Meanwhile, roughly 90 miles of that line would course through the San Pedro Valley, accompanied by maintenance roads and 500foot easements. A federal analysis of the proposed SunZia Southwest Transmission Project marches onward, spearheaded by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and driven by a cast of characters who have tried to sell us many similarly questionable projects in the past. They include Phoenix-based Southwestern Power Group II, which a dozen years ago was pushing for a 215-acre power plant in the shadows of Ironwood Forest National Monument (they failed), and later a futuristic coal-powered plant in little Bowie that only won permitting after it shifted to natural gas. Another familiar player is Tucson Electric Power, which not long ago pushed for a habitatravaging high-power line through the Coronado National Forest to the Mexican border. That project flopped in the face of public opposition. Today, TEP is an investor in Southwestern Power Group’s $1 billion SunZia project. Numerous calls to Tom Wray, Southwestern’s SunZia project manager, were not returned. Instead, I was repeatedly referred to Ian Calkins, a PR flack with the high-powered Copper State Consulting Group, who also failed to return my calls. Similarly, TEP spokesman Joe Salkowski didn’t return several calls seeking comment. Meanwhile, well-placed sources inform me that funding problems could stall SunZia. The project already took a big hit in 2010, when the private equity firm Energy Capital Partners withdrew its 40 percent stake. Since then, speculation has grown that the federal government may be asked to bankroll the construction. The feds certainly appear to have a powerful interest in this power line, which would stretch

from a Lincoln, N.M., substation into Southern Arizona, before swinging around to end at another substation north of Tucson. In its efforts to boost alternative energy, the Obama administration has included SunZia on a list of seven power projects delegated to the “Interagency Rapid Response Team for Transmission.” This team is charged with streamlining the permit process between a multitude of government agencies. However, critics question this federal focus on SunZia, particularly since most of Arizona’s alternative-energy action is occurring hundreds of miles away in the state’s western deserts. Just last week, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced the establishment of 17 new federal “solar energy zones” in six states. Two of those zones are in Arizona; one is close to the small town of Quartzsite, and the other is elsewhere near the California border. At the same time, SunZia opponents argue that the Rapid Response Team approach is rushing the BLM’s environmental-review process, and prodding it toward a predetermined conclusion. Though the agency denies those allegations, it did not hold public forums to discuss SunZia under National Environmental Policy Act requirements, but resorted instead to a series of open-house-type gatherings that seemed to stifle public dissent. BLM officials also refused a request by project opponents to extend the public comment period beyond Aug. 22. “I think there’s a lot of pressure on the BLM,” says Mick Meader, of the Cascabel Working Group, a San Pedro Valley organization fighting the project. “We’ve felt all along that there’s been a real push by the Obama administration. They got hooked on SunZia as a renewable-energy project, and they really got behind it.” The result, says Meader, “is that we’ve been ignored completely.” But in an earlier interview, BLM spokeswoman Donna Hummel said that SunZia opponents enjoyed ample opportunity to air their views. “There have been 22 public meetings. There have been 255 days of public comment. And there have been numerous informational meetings for various agencies, entities and interest groups, including the resource conservation districts through the San Pedro Valley, which appears to be the one area that’s most controversial.” But to detractors, the notion of running massive power lines through that bucolic valley remains a travesty—and selling it as a renewable-energy “green” project adds insult. Those skeptics found traction in an Aug. 13 letter from a group of New Mexico congressmen

Mick Meader: “We’ve been ignored completely.” to Salazar supporting the transmission project. “SunZia is the key to unlocking New Mexico’s very high-capacity wind, solar, geothermal and natural-gas resources to generate electricity,” wrote Reps. Steve Pearce, Ben Ray Luján and Martin Heinrich. “New development of renewable and natural-gas plants enabled by SunZia will contribute millions of new property-tax dollars to depleted country treasuries.” Indeed, the merits of this project—or the lack thereof—have revealed a schism between environmental groups that want to support renewable-energy projects, while not getting snookered by greenwashing. For instance, although the Natural Resources Defense Council doesn’t outright support SunZia, an NRDC official does call the greenwashing label unfair. “I do think their business model is intended to yield renewables,” says Carl Zichella, the group’s director for Western transmission. Still, he concedes that “there’s very little you can do to project absolutely what will be carried on any transmission line eventually, because of open-access rules under the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.” Regarding potential impacts on the San Pedro Valley, “I understand that the routing choices can be difficult,” Zichella says, “and we need to continue to refine route choices for all transmission lines so they have the least amount of conflict with natural resources. “I want to be clear: We’re not endorsing the project at NRDC,” he says. “But I think we also have to recognize that we can’t completely avoid all conflicts. At some point, there are going to be some very hard decisions that are going to be made.” But putting a power line through the San Pedro Valley would be a terrible decision, argues Sierra Club lobbyist Sandy Bahr. “We disagree with the NRDC on that,” she says. “Destroying some of the most-important wildlife areas in the state is not a good trade-off, and it’s not a necessary trade-off. Second, there are a lot of reasons to question the renewable aspects of this line. There’s no guarantee that there would be any renewables on the line at all.”

In the race to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, the polls continue to show a tight race between Democrat Richard Carmona and Republican Jeff Flake. The surveys from Team Carmona and his allies are showing Carmona with a lead of a few points; the surveys from Team Flake and his allies are showing Flake with a lead of a few points. RICHARD But you can tell the race is far closer than Team Flake anticipated, because there’s a whole lot of outside money being thrown around. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is now spending big bucks to help the six-term congressman, as is FreedomWorks for America and the Club for Growth. On the other side, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the League of Conservation Voters are dropping six figures into advertising to boost Carmona. The League of Conservation Voters ad, which debuted earlier this week, criticizes Flake for voting in Congress to support uranium-mining near the Colorado River, saying it could lead to pollution of the waters of the Colorado and eventually contaminate drinking water. Flake is continuing his basic message of linking Carmona to Barack Obama, saying that Carmona would be a rubber stamp for the president. But as early voting started last week, Flake unleashed a new, tough ad against Carmona, featuring Cristina Beato, a former acting assistant secretary of health in the George W. Bush administration’s Health and Human Services Department. Beato was Carmona’s boss when he was surgeon general in the Bush administration. Carmona and others say that Beato wanted Carmona to produce reports based on a political agenda rather than science, which caused tensions between the two. In Flake’s ad, Beato said that Carmona terrified her by pounding on her door in the middle of the night. “Carmona is not who he seems,” Beato said in the ad. “He has issues with anger, with ethics and with women. … Richard Carmona should never, ever be in the U.S. Senate.” It was a summary of a similar story that Beato told congressional investigators in 2007. Carmona denied the allegation last week and again in a debate on Arizona Public Media on Monday, Oct. 15, where he called the charges “completely false.” “There’s no merit to those whatsoever,” Carmona said, adding that Beato was “a disgruntled employee who had numerous problems over the years. … This really exemplifies the politics that Congressman Flake is involved in, in the gutter, throwing mud with baseless accusations.” Flake said in the debate that the charges were “certainly relevant,”

Clarence Dupnik wants a ninth term as Pima County sheriff; his opponents say 32 years has been long enough

from Page 9

Change vs. Stability BY BRIAN J. PEDERSEN, bpedersen@tucsonweekly.com hould he stay, or should he go? Issues, approaches and philosophies aside, the 2012 election for Pima County sheriff comes down to that one basic question. After 32 years in office, should Clarence Dupnik get a ninth term based on his long and successful track record, or is it time to shake things up and get a fresh face in there? Republican Mark Napier and Green Party candidate Dave Croteau side with the latter. But voters have overwhelmingly favored Dupnik, a Democrat, since he was first elected in 1980, giving him at least 55 percent of the vote each time. In many elections, they picked him by a nearly a 2-to-1 margin. Not bad for a man who said he never wanted to be sheriff. But after being appointed to that post by the Pima County Board of Supervisors in 1980, Dupnik quickly realized the position was the only way he was going to stay in law enforcement. “If I wanted a job, I had to run for the office,” Dupnik said last week. More than three decades later, the 76-year-old said he’s ready for another four years, despite the ‘He won’t last another term’ rumors. “They’ve said that for the last three terms, the last three elections,” Dupnik said of his supposed intention to retire in the middle of his term, thus enabling him to hand-pick a successor. “The problem is they can’t find any scandals or anything to report about. I’m going to keep going as long as I can, and the people allow it.” Napier, 52, who lines up as Dupnik’s toughest challenger in recent memory after blowing away the competition in a five-way race for the GOP nomination, said he’s heard those rumors as well. And while he won’t comment on their veracity—“He knows his intentions better than I do,” Napier said—he does say that Dupnik’s legacy is based too much on the past. “From the ’80s to the mid-’90s, (Dupnik) said he did a good job, and that’s a factual statement,” Napier said. “But since then, it’s stagnated. Every once in a while, it’s good to shake up the culture and ask, ‘Why do we do it that way?’ It’s just time for a more-visible, more-engaged, more-effective sheriff—certainly a more-energetic one.” Napier points to the candidates’ websites as an example of Dupnik’s lackadaisical approach. Napier’s site includes a bevy of information about his credentials and what he wants to do as sheriff. Dupnik’s is basically a retrospective on his career, along with an invitation to go to the Sheriff ’s Department website for more information. There’s no contact information listed. “If you want to know what I’m going to do in the future, look at my platform page,” Napier

said. “Go to Dupnik’s page; it tells you what he’s done in the past. There’s a donate button on there, but there’s no way to contact him. If you’re not willing to be contacted by your constituents, what does that say?” Dupnik scoffs at the notion he’s become complacent, ticking off a series of proposals: Get all local law enforcement and first-responders on an integrated wireless network; develop a better way to assess suspected mental illness before tragedy occurs; create patrols that would focus on chronic street criminals. His re-election campaign has put a premium on the word “keep,” using it in all promotional materials. The incumbent said this is meant to bridge the gap between what he’s done and what he still wants to do. “I don’t think you ever accomplish everything you want to do in life,” Dupnik said. “I’d like to see what we might (still) be able to do.” Croteau, 61, got 16 percent of the vote against Dupnik in 2000 and has run for Tucson mayor three times. He considers Dupnik’s plans just more of the same: the militarization of police and too much of a focus on low-level drug crime. “The sheriff doesn’t need to network with 18 (law-enforcement) agencies; he needs to network with 250 neighborhood associations,” Croteau said. “I want to honestly discuss the role of sheriff, and transition it into peacekeeping from just law enforcement. I’m the only clear choice. Nothing is fresher than my ideas.” Many of the “Keep Dupnik” signs found throughout the county have smaller signs attached to them that say he has the endorsement of the Pima County Deputy Sheriff ’s Association, which represents about 70 percent of all sworn officers with the rank of sergeant or below. Chairman Joseph Cameron said the PCDSA board voted for the endorsement because not enough members attended the April meeting when the issue was set to be discussed. But an email vote on whether to spend association money on radio ads and campaign signs was “overwhelmingly approved,” Cameron said. “Dupnik’s a Democrat, and in general, most police officers are conservative; they’re Republican,” said Cameron, a 25-year Sheriff ’s Department veteran. “The guys don’t always agree with what he says, but the reason the guys endorsed him is … he runs a really good organization. He treats us fairly. He keeps us in the black—no layoffs, no furloughs.” Napier said he’d do the same, tapping into his experience—he retired from the Tucson Police Department as a captain—as well as his business pedigree as an administrator with the University of Arizona’s Parking and Transportation

Mark Napier

because temperament is important for a U.S. senator. Carmona has pointed out that his alleged temper problems did not prevent Republican officials from urging him to run for Congress or the Arizona governor’s office. Kyl has said that he had encouraged Carmona to run for office as a Republican, although the told The Associated Press that he stopped doing that after Carmona publicly criticized the Bush administration’s efforts to politicize the science of public health. Beato has some credibility issues of her own. She encountered problems with getting confirmed as assistant secretary of health and human services in 2004 after Democrats raised questions about potential résumé-padding. Carmona responded with an ad featuring Kathleen Brennan, a retired captain with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department who commanded a SWAT team that included Carmona. Brennan said that Carmona was “a joy to work with. He treats everyone with respect. … Rich was about protecting people and saving lives. So when I see a career politician like Jeff Flake attacking Rich Carmona, who has spent his life helping others, it’s despicable.”

CD 2: CROSSPARTY CROSSFIRE

Clarence Dupnik Services and head of Boston University’s online criminal justice program, to take a more-modern approach. He cited the recent incident involving around eight Pima County Jail corrections officers (the jail is under the sheriff ’s control) in the savage beating of four men outside of the Buffet bar. Though most of the officers have either been fired or suspended, Napier said the real question is whether the incident could have been prevented internally. “This was an unprovoked, aggressive attack by a large number of Pima County employees against an individual who was innocent,” Napier said. “I would say that it would cause me a great deal of discomfort. … It might be indicative of a systemic problem. I’d want to find out how we got to this point.” Dupnik said the incident was an “aberration” and has nothing to do with his department. He said the fact that discipline has been swift and stern shows he didn’t condone the actions. “I think that’s one of the things that keep the sheriff more attuned to the community and more responsive to the community,” Dupnik said. “If I’m running a lousy organization, I can kiss my chances of being sheriff goodbye. And it should be that way.”

Congressman Ron Barber rolled out a new version of Republicans for Barber last week, with endorsements from Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik, former Tucson Mayor Bob Walkup, former state lawmaker Jennifer Burns and a collection of business leaders, including developer John Wesley Miller, Darryl Dobras and Priscilla Storm of Diamond Ventures. “Ron is a friend,” said Storm in a statement. “Ron’s knowledge of Southern Arizona and his extensive relationships make him invaluable as our voice in Congress. I admire Ron for taking a strong, nonpartisan approach to serving his constituents. And while we may be members of different parties, we agree on the economic priorities for Southern Arizona. Republican Martha McSally, who is challenging Barber, said she would not be coming up with a similar group of Democrats for McSally. Team McSally issued a press release dismissing the whole idea of crossparty support as an example of the “petty politics of division.” “While Ron Barber would like to separate us all into Republican MARTHA versus Democrat, I choose to look at all of us as Southern Arizonans, in this together for the future of our country,” McSally said in a statement. “This kind of divide-and-conquer behavior is typical of Washington politicians and is exactly why Republicans, Democrats, independents and everyone in between are joining our campaign to provide leadership regardless of party,

HORNY-TOAD REVENGE SOUTH TRISTAN TRAIL SEPT. 17, 10:17 A.M.

A horned lizard was apparently the victim of someone’s twisted effort at revenge, according to a Pima County Sheriff’s Department report. A man reported that he found graffiti on his shed when he woke up—as well as a “dead horny toad glitter(ing) on his vehicle.” A deputy interviewed the man, who showed him the graffiti. The deputy also saw the dead lizard on the hood of the car. The man said there’d been a party at a house across the street the night before, and that law enforcement had shown up, presumably because someone had reported a disturbance. The man told deputies he hadn’t called law enforcement, and that it must have been one of his neighbors. The man speculated that the party’s host had incorrectly assumed that it was he who had called the cops and decided to retaliate. The man said that a week earlier, the same person had hosted a party, which also was busted, and that the next day, he had found graffiti on his car. The deputy photographed the graffiti and the dead reptile. The report said no one answered the door at the house where the party was held.

Marketing Stunt as Inspiration f you weren’t paying attention on the morning of Sunday, Oct. 14, then you missed out on a tense yet entertaining bit of human history. Austrian stuntman Felix Baumgartner jumped out of a helium-driven capsule, fell 24 vertical miles and parachuted down safely to the ground, breaking a few world records—and the sound barrier. In the process, he raised the brand awareness of the Red Bull energy drink by tens of millions of dollars, according to Forbes Magazine. The leap, which was part of Red Bull’s “Stratos” project, pulled roughly 8 million people to YouTube at once, smashing YouTube’s previous record during the Olympics this summer. What this tells me is that my generation may have just had the closest thing we’ll ever have to a moon-landing moment. For the record, this figure of 8 million concurrent views has nothing on the hundreds of millions of people who watched the Apollo 11 lunar landing, but it marks the first time in recent memory that so many people from across the world have watched a record-breaking feat—in this case, one man tumbling through the air in an effort to do something that no one has ever done before. Of course, many didn’t simply watch, but watched while broadcasting their thoughts around the globe on Twitter, Facebook and any number of other social-media platforms. This jump was a marketing stunt, but in a way, it’s also a reminder of how impressive humanity is and can be—and hopefully, it will serve as an inspiration. Red Bull gives you wings, indeed.

UNWANTED LOVER WEST AVENIDA OBREGON SEPT. 10, 11:15 P.M.

A woman was arrested after refusing to leave her part-time boyfriend’s house, a PCSD report said. Deputies were called to a southwestside residence, where they met a man who said he’d been living with a woman on and off since February. He said she came and went as she pleased, engaging in a romantic relationship with him when she needed a place to stay. The man told a deputy that she most recently had come by the night before, but that he believed she was on drugs, and he told her to leave, which she did. But she returned about four hours later, claiming that she had nowhere else to stay, so the man let her in. The man said he was awakened in the middle of the night by the sounds of the woman screaming, throwing things and repeatedly opening and closing his garage door. He said she refused to leave. Another deputy spoke with the woman, who dropped a clay pot she was holding when he approached her. She first told the deputy she had consumed two shots of gin, and then said it had actually been tequila. She then proceeded to tell the deputy everything she had eaten in the last two days. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and domestic violence.

THE SKINNY CONTINUED

The candidates for CD 1 stand apart on issues including the Affordable Care Act, abortion

from Page 11

Payday vs. Kickback BY MARIANA DALE, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com epublican Jonathan Paton’s official Southern Arizona campaign headquarters are tucked into an ordinary strip mall on West Ina Road, but most of the Congressional District 1 candidate’s campaign has been run on the road. “I don’t really have an office,” said Paton, 41, during a recent interview at his campaign headquarters. “My office is my Honda.” Paton, a former state lawmaker who made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2010, has spent many hours behind the wheel as he’s gotten to know CD 1, which is roughly the size of Pennsylvania and stretches from the Utah border to the northern edge of Cochise County. Oro Valley, Marana, Flagstaff, much of the Grand Canyon, much of rural eastern Arizona and a dozen Native American reservations fall within its recently redrawn boundaries. The district is home to roughly 140,000 Democrats, 112,000 Republicans and 110,000 voters registered as independents or with third parties. Despite the Democratic slant, Paton has gained momentum in his campaign against Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick, 62, a former state lawmaker who represented much of the area in Congress for one term before being ousted by Republican Paul Gosar in 2010. In recent days, Paton has landed endorsements from both The Arizona Republic and the Arizona Daily Star. A poll by the (admittedly biased) National Republican Congressional Committee showed him leading Kirkpatrick, 50 percent to 45 percent. And the NRCC recently upped its TV buy in the district, from $900,000 to more than $1.3 million. That spending has allowed Paton to keep pace with Kirkpatrick on the airwaves, even though she has raised far more money than he has. Records show that as of Aug. 8, Kirkpatrick had raised about $1.4 million for her campaign, while Paton had raised $611,000. “Ann started the day after she lost, and she just continued running, so she was able to raise more,” Paton said. That cash has been vital to both campaigns, with much of it being spent on a fierce air war on Phoenix television stations. Although the city itself does not fall within CD 1, the Phoenix stations reach many of the rural areas in the district. Two distinct caricatures have emerged from the advertisements. Kirkpatrick—with help from the Arizona Democratic Party and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee—has painted Paton as “Payday Paton,” based on his lobbying work for the payday-loan industry. Meanwhile, Paton and the NRCC have tagged

the Democratic candidate as “Kickback Kirkpatrick” in a series of ads highlighting an Arizona Republic article that revealed Kirkpatrick spent more than $100,000 during her last days in Congress, including bonuses for her staff. “Given that they are bankrolling our paydayloan-lobbyist opponent, the NRCC has as much credibility on payroll issues as Todd Akin has on women’s issues,” said Kirkpatrick spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson. “The fact is, Ann sponsored a bill to cut congressional pay, and when Congress refused to pass it, she went ahead and cut her own pay. And at the end of her term, Ann’s office returned more than $100,000 in unused funds back to the treasury. Her office employees were paid for their long hours, hard work and accrued leave.” Paton has hammered Kirkpatrick for voting for the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, and has vowed to vote to repeal the health-care reform package if elected to Congress. Kirkpatrick has defended her vote in favor of the law. “It’s not perfect,” Kirkpatrick said at a Monday, Oct. 8, debate at the Legacy Traditional School in northwest Tucson. But she highlighted the upside of the legislation, including new regulations that prevent insurance companies from refusing to cover people with pre-existing conditions, and allow young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26. At the debate, Kirkpatrick frequently referenced her “three-part plan” for education, environmental protection and job creation through emerging technology like wind and solar. Paton’s jobs plan also had three parts. “My job plan is to reduce taxes, stop regulating the industry in this state, and leave people alone,” said Paton, adding that the federal government had been stifling jobs, not creating them. Paton argued that government efforts to create jobs in wind- and solar-energy production were a multi-billion-dollar failure. “We should be able to get that done with the private sector, not the government trying to play winners and losers,” Paton said. Kirkpatrick called for a “national energy strategy” that included emerging tech tailored to each region. “Arizona should be a global leader of creating wind and solar, so let’s continue to work on these ideas,” she said. The candidates also split sharply on the topic of abortion. Paton is staunchly pro-life and would vote to ban abortion in most instances. But in the wake of Missouri U.S. Senate candidate and current Rep. Todd Akin’s comments about “legitimate rape” earlier this year, Paton clarified his

and solutions regardless of credit.” That said, Team McSally was able to swing one Republican who had previously supported Barber: Bob Strain, the former Sierra Vista mayor who backed Barber in the special election against Republican Jesse Kelly, is supporting McSally in this race, as is his wife, Jane Strain. In other CD 2 news: Barber and McSally released their third-quarter fundraising totals earlier this week. Barber edged out McSally, raising $788,652 to her $479,998 between July 1 and Sept. 30. Since Aug. 8, when the campaigns filed pre-primary reports, the money race has been closer, with Barber raising $475,876, and McSally raising $432,966. Barber had the advantage in cash on hand as of Sept. 30: $549,223 to $298,797. Finally: We haven’t seen any new poll numbers in the Barber-McSally race. While the National Republican Congressional Committee was happy to release a recent survey of the Congressional District 1 race that showed Republican Jonathan Paton five percentage-points ahead of Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick, there’s been no similar release on the numbers for CD 2. NRCC Deputy Political and Polling Director Brock McCleary said in a conference call with reporters last week that he believed the CD 2 race was “a very close battle,” but he declined to release any NRCC polling data to back up his assertion. “I honestly don’t know what we have scheduled in terms of polling here in these districts,” McCleary said.

BARBER-MCSALLY SHOWDOWN

Ann Kirkpatrick response to a questionnaire from the Christianconservative organization Center for Arizona Policy, saying that he would not support banning abortion in cases of rape or incest. Kirkpatrick does not support banning abortions, according to spokeswoman Johnson. “Ann is pro-choice,” Johnson told the Weekly via email earlier this year. “She believes that medical decisions belong between a woman and her doctor, without the government interfering.” The third candidate on the ballot in November is Kim Allen, 72, from Arizona City. “I’m just a ticked-off senior citizen who believes the Republican and Democratic Parties are just totally rotten to the core,” Allen said after the Oct. 8 debate. During the forum, he admitted he hasn’t given much thought to victory. “If I win this election,” Allen said, “I’m going to Vegas.”

CURRENTS In the midst of controversy, Pima Community College’s governing board has two seats up for election

The Issue of Admission BY MARI HERRERAS, mherreras@tucsonweekly.com ive people are running for two Pima Community College governing board seats, including the two incumbents— but only three of the five were willing to talk to the Tucson Weekly about their campaigns and the issues the college faces. Marty Cortez, who has served for three sixyear terms, said she wants to return to complete the controversial admissions-policy changes the board and former Chancellor Roy Flores have promoted. Cortez faces two challengers for the District 5 seat: retired Pima professor Richard Fridena, and Pima instructor Francis Saitta. Saitta responded to our email request by saying that he did not do sit-down interviews and would only answer questions provided to all of the candidates through email. We explained that the Weekly’s policy is not to do email interviews. His response: “An interview, under those circumstances, is inherently unfair, and, as a comparative of candidate positions, uninformative. All candidates should be asked the same question. Otherwise one introduces tendentiousness into the interview process.” The second incumbent up for re-election is Sherryn “Vikki” Marshall, in District 3. She is a re-employment counselor with Pima County’s Community Services Department who wants a third term. She is challenged by retired Pima dean Sylvia Lee. We called Marshall to schedule an interview; she asked us to email our request, because she was at work. We did, and she responded with a series of questions about the interview. We replied, but she never responded to that or to a second email request. Fridena told us some of the college’s problems began surfacing when it announced plans to end the longstanding open-enrollment policy. Staffers also came forward with sexual harassment allegations against Flores, and claimed he created a hostile work environment. There were also procurement issues and accusations that the board violated open-meeting procedures. These problems, Fridena said, have to do with current board members, like Cortez, who are complacent and unwilling to ask questions. Fridena started working at the community college in 1977 as an adjunct professor before being hired full time in 1981. It’s that history, he said, that helps him understand the mission of community colleges. “I always found the social mission of a community college inspiring. It is one of the mostinspiring things in our country—helping people find a way into higher education and improve their life.”

14 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

It was the college’s announcement in March 2011 that it intended to change its open-admissions policy, and instead require that all prospective students take an entrance exam, that got Fridena and Lee into the race. “A group of us, mostly retired, felt it just seemed to be headed in the wrong direction and antithetical to what community colleges are about,” Fridena said. The board’s explanation for the new policy changed from forum to forum, Fridena said, adding that he thinks part of the problem is that the members of the all-volunteer governing board “don’t have the time to look at everything as closely as they need to.” “You hire someone highly skilled and knowledgeable about community college, and say, ‘We want you to run this place.’ … You become vested in this person’s expertise and their knowledge to run the place, so you stop watching,” he said. He said board members admitted at a later forum that they had already approved the chancellor’s admissions-policy change. “So what they passed at the forum was really just an endorsement of the decision they had already made that we didn’t know about,” he said. Cortez, a retired teacher and principal, said it’s time to look at the positive things the college has done, and can do. For example, at a recent candidates’ forum, incumbents and challengers agreed that the college needs to adopt a plan to allow undocumented students who reside in Pima County to attend the college and pay instate tuition. However, the college has yet to adopt a plan. “I’ve been somewhat dismayed, but I understand newspapers are what they are,” Cortez said. “The focus seems to be on the negative things that have happened at the college, although those issues have been addressed.” As issues surrounding Flores’ administration surfaced, so did criticism of the contract under which the board first hired him. Flores’ original contract automatically added another year after every positive review, making it complicated and pricey to ever let him go. Cortez said she would hire a new chancellor in the same manner. “The purpose of that, first of all, is to attract good candidates,” she said. Cortez also dismisses criticism that the board has violated open-meetings laws and doesn’t discuss the issues enough during board meetings. “We do a lot of the work to get our questions dealt with prior to the meetings. … Maybe it’s unfortunate that is the appearance, and maybe we need to consider being more verbal about some of the things we’ve discussed,” she said.

Clockwise from top left: Richard Fridena, Sylvia Lee and Marty Cortez. Regarding the procurement, sexual harassment and hostile-work allegations against the nowretired Flores, Cortez said she can’t comment on legal issues, but that she doesn’t think an outside audit—which some have called for—is needed. “It’s unfortunate that these things came up. How much is truth and how much isn’t, I don’t think any of us will ever know as far as the chancellor’s personal conduct,” she said. At each forum Cortez has attended, she has brought with her a long list of what she calls the positive that’s happened at the college. Highlights include the college’s expansion of student services, so students could complete coursework in the evening, and a savings of $52 million. “There has been more good than bad,” she said. Lee, with a 30-year career in education, shares much of the same concerns as Fridena. On a local radio show, Lee said that the college could do a lot of good if it was more transparent about the past problems.

“In order to be totally transparent, an audit has to be external, not internal, like it is doing now,” Lee said. An audit, she said, needs to focus on finance, procurement and human resources. On procurement, Flores and the board were chided for allowing the chancellor to contract with a friend to do staff development, and for possible conflicts of interests regarding work provided by former Pima County Supervisor Dan Eckstrom. (See “Questionable Hires,” April 19.) Speaking of the women who came forward with sexual-harassment allegations involving Flores, Lee said it is a shame that the college still hasn’t acknowledged there was wrongdoing, and that there was “no real investigation.” However, open enrollment remains the biggest issue to the candidate. “That’s why this community went sky-high over this issue, and that’s why Richard (Fridena) and I are here today.”

TuCsONWEEKLY

BY JIM NINTZEL, jnintzel@tucsonweekly.com

When the dust cleared from August’s Republican primary in the race to replace the retiring Ann Day on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, Ally Miller emerged as the winner. Miller captured 37.6 percent of the vote in northside District 1, besting second-place finisher Mike Hellon by almost 6 percentage points. Now Miller faces Democrat Nancy Young Wright in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 6. The four-way primary proved once again that a candidate who can tap the Tea Party’s support can win a crowded primary, even though Miller was able to capture only a little more than a third of the vote. But the general election will answer another question: If primary voters nominate a hard-right candidate with a tendency to play fast and loose with the facts, and a tenuous grasp on how county government operates, can a Democrat win enough crossover votes to capture a seat in a GOP district? District 1 isn’t exactly friendly territory for a Democrat like Nancy Young Wright. Forty-one percent of voters in the district—which includes parts of Marana, Oro Valley, the Casas Adobes area and the Catalina foothills—identify as Republicans, and just 30 percent are Democrats. But the district was remarkably split in the primary. Miller, who promised to shake up county government and push for the firing of top administrators, dominated the northern portion of the district. Hellon—who promised to continue Day’s constituent service—won nearly every precinct in the Catalina foothills. Wright sees an opening with that dynamic and is telling voters that she’s a better successor to Day than Miller. “I’m a lot more aligned with Ann Day and her viewpoints,” Wright says. “She cares about parks and land and the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, and is a moderate, pro-choice Republican.” Wright got involved in Pima County politics nearly two decades ago, because she was concerned about the lack of parks in Oro Valley. She learned about the com-

plexities of land-use policies and zoning laws when she led a fight to preserve Oro Valley’s Honey Bee Canyon and later worked as a member of the steering committee on the county’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. Wright says that gives her experience in dealing with the kind of land-use decisions that the Board of Supervisors frequently deals with in the unincorporated areas of District 1. Wright first won political office, on the Amphi school board, in 1996. As a board member, she began digging into the actions of the board and blew the whistle on so much corruption—from insider deals on land purchases to board members skimming from day-care programs to pay for food, drink and retreats for themselves—that voters ultimately recalled the board majority in 2000. Wright stepped down from the Amphi board in 2007, a year after she made an unsuccessful run for mayor of Oro Valley. She meant to take a break from politics, but was drawn back after state Rep. Lena Saradnik retired following a stroke. Wright was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to the Arizona House of Representatives in Republican-leaning District 26 in 2007 and won elec-

tion to the seat in 2008. She lost it two years later when Republicans Vic Williams and Terri Proud won the two legislative seats in LD 26. Wright said she decided to run in the heavily Republican District 1 when she heard that Day was retiring, and she was concerned that some of the Republicans lining up to seek the job leaned far to the right. “I saw that Ally was running, and I saw that she was from the Tea Party, and I thought that she would be a very poor representative for our part of town,” Wright says. “I like constituent service a lot. I like public policy and working with people.”

Miller has lived in Pima County for three decades, but became involved in politics just a few years ago, when she launched a 2009 effort to recall Pima County Supervisor Sharon Bronson that quickly fizzled. Unable to get support for her efforts from the Tucson Tea Party, run by Trent Humphries and Robert Mayer, Miller formed her own Tea Party group: the Pima

County Tea Party Patriots. Among the group’s highlights was endorsing Republican Jesse Kelly over Jonathan Paton for a congressional seat in the 2010 GOP primary. Kelly would go on to win the primary, but lose to Democrat Gabrielle Giffords. During her campaign for the Board of Supervisors, Miller has downplayed her history with the Tea Party Patriots. In a September radio interview with Mark Evans of tucsoncitizen.com, Miller said that references to her work with the Tea Party were an example of how “the establishment” would “fabricate just horrible stories and lies about me to retain their stranglehold on Pima County.” But those Tea Party connections landed her primary endorsements from the mostconservative politicians in Southern Arizona: state Sen. Al Melvin and state Rep. Terri Proud, as well as congressional candidate Gabriela Saucedo Mercer, who recently received national attention for her suggestion that Middle Eastern men should not be allowed in the United States “legally or illegally,” because “their only goal in life is … to cause harm to the United States.” On the campaign trail, Miller’s chief complaints are about county property taxes, the poor condition of many county roads, a lack of good jobs, and a sense that Pima County is a hotbed of nepotism and a good-ol’-boy network of insiders who profit at the expense of taxpayers. She wants to see County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry fired. Miller can sometimes engage in exaggeration. For example, in a June interview with the Tucson Weekly, she claimed the Amphi school district, while in a legal battle to build a school in the habitat of the endangered cactus ferruginous pygmy owl back in 1998, was forced to spend “millions and millions of dollars on guards watching that land to make sure they didn’t release pygmy owls on the land.” The actual amount, according to press reports, was $46,000 for three months of work. Amphi officials said they were concerned that environmentalists might plant evidence of an owl on the property, but not an actual endangered owl. While Miller boasts about her experience in working on financial matters with Honeywell and Intel, and she has a master’s degree in business administration from the UA Eller School, she was taken in by false claims that were emailed to her regarding the county’s budget. As the Weekly reported in July, Miller received a document via email that purported to show that $345 million couldn’t be accounted for in the county’s transportation budget. The claim was so outlandish that fellow Republican Hellon dismissed it as “preposterous” during the primary campaign. Miller encouraged the Weekly to investigate the claim, and a review of the county’s transportation budget showed that the information sent to Miller left out key areas of spending. The report was assembled by developer Mike Farley, who is upset with Pima County because he owns property near Valencia and Kolb roads, where he wants to build a shopping center. But county officials have been planning to build an intersection that would not accommodate Farley’s plans. Huckelberry says Farley’s preferred alignment for the intersection would cost several million dollars more than the county’s

preferred alternative, and would be less efficient at moving traffic. In a July interview with the Weekly, Farley conceded that his claim that the money was “unaccounted for” was an exaggeration designed to call attention to the county’s transportation priorities and “bloated bureaucracy.” “Is the money unaccounted for?” Farley told the Weekly. “Nah, it’s probably in there.” When the Weekly attempted to follow up with Miller on the topic of the allegedly missing money, she declined to respond to our questions. After a story ran that revealed she had bought into the bogus claim, Miller announced on the radio that she would not speak to the Weekly again. Wright says the episode reveals a lot about Miller’s personality. “She does have an education, but her ideology is overriding her ability to look at things factually,” Wright says. “To me, that’s the last thing you want in somebody in that position— they’re so dogmatic and persistent in their position that they can’t be reasoned with.” Miller has a habit of taking budget numbers out of context without understanding them. In an interview, she pointed to a $27 million transfer from the county’s transportation budget and asked, “Where is that money going?” Asked if she had checked with anyone at the county to find out where the money was going, Miller replied, “I have not been able to get anyone to answer any questions.” But Huckelberry says that Miller simply doesn’t understand how the county budget works. That $27 million was transferred from the county’s operations and maintenance fund to its capital-improvement fund to pay for major road improvements. “We’ve been doing it that way for 20 years,” Huckelberry explains. “Transportation budgets are annual documents. The capital project fund is a holding fund. Most transportation projects take longer than a year to complete. … (It’s) no shell game.” Miller also declared at a primary debate that she had undertaken an “investigation” that revealed the county was using transportation dollars from the state to pay for road bonds. She denounced the practice as “wrong” and declared that “it needs to stop.” But voters decided in a 1997 bond election to use the state funds to pay back the bonds—so if the county followed Miller’s advice, it would be breaking the law. “That’s a really good example of someone who is unfit for public office,” Wright says. “You have to be willing to look at other information and facts. She doesn’t seem to be coming from looking at facts. She seems to be coming from looking at propaganda that’s she’s given by her handlers.” Miller has not returned phone calls from the Weekly to clarify her positions on these issues. When given a chance to do so at a debate last August, Miller chose to instead go on a tirade against the Weekly. “Have you ever seen that paper?” she asked. “It’s a liberal rag.”

When it comes to land-use issues, Miller and Wright are far apart. “I’m an environmentalist, but I believe that

the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan goes too far,” Miller says, adding that “it’s more about being in control than being an environmentalist.” Miller says the plan was flawed from the beginning, because, in addition to mapping sensitive areas, it included plans for preserving open space. “We have more than enough open-space land, and I don’t believe we should be funding further open-space purchases,” Miller says. Wright, who worked many volunteer hours as part of the steering committee for the conservation plan, says concern about the awardwinning plan being watered down was one reason she got into the race. “I’ve put a lot of time into fighting for some good stuff for this county, like the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, and I don’t want to see anyone undermine it,” Wright says. Miller sounds notes of distrust toward local environmentalists. For example, she believes it’s inappropriate for Carolyn Campbell, who heads the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, to also serve on the county’s bond-advisory committee. In general, Miller expresses concern that the county’s regulations and impact fees are stifling development. She wants the county to “work toward” abolishing impact fees, because “development was going on for many, many years without them.” “The impact fees are too high,” Miller says. “That’s a way we can cut back and help businesses get up and running. … It’s not cash out of the taxpayer’s pocket upfront.” Wright argues that impact fees have brought in more than $70 million to help with road construction since Pima County adopted them in the 1990s. Given that the county has struggled to keep up with road needs even with that additional revenue, Wright says, “I can only imagine how bad it would be without that money.” Wright agrees with the decision by the Board of Supervisors earlier this year to reduce wastewater-connection fees for new development and to forgo an increase in impact fees. She says she’d be open to temporarily reducing them until the construction sector gets moving again. “I do have some sympathy for where (developers) are coming from, but taking impact fees away altogether is not the answer,” Wright says. “I don’t think that’s what they’re asking for, but we can be reasonable and talk about that.”

Although she’s the underdog in the district, Wright has outdone Miller in fundraising. Wright had raised more than $66,000 for her campaign and still had more than $28,000 on hand as of Sept. 17, according to the mostrecent campaign-finance reports. Miller has struggled to raise money. Her most-recent campaign finance report showed that she had raised just less than $51,000, including $18,300 that she had lent the campaign during the primary. (Her campaignfinance report showed that $2,795 of the $9,020 given to her by contributors since she won the primary has gone to paying herself back.) Miller has had big-dollar contributors from the development community. Farley, the developer who hopes to persuade the county to change its plan for the intersection of Kolb and Valencia roads, has been running an indepen-

dent-expenditure effort to help Miller, along with fellow Republican supervisor candidates Tanner Bell, Fernando Gonzales and Jim Kelley, and sheriff ’s candidate Mark Napier. In addition, developer Mitch Stallard, who built La Encantada at Campbell Avenue and Skyline Drive, poured $10,000 into television ads and newspaper advertisements in the final weeks of the primary to help Miller boost her name ID. Those independent campaigns have led to complaints from two of Miller’s primary opponents—Hellon and Stuart McDaniel—that Miller’s campaign illegally coordinated with the independent efforts, because both used TagLine Media, a public-relations company. Matt Roberts, a spokesman for Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, says the investigation into Miller’s campaign is still open. Miller has refused to comment on the investigation, but Deb Weisel, who heads TagLine, says that she severed ties with Miller and the other Republican candidates so she could work with the independent committees. “I’m not working for any of (the candidates),” Weisel told the Weekly in August. “I sent them all letters. Actually, Ally had quit long before the other ones, because she knew that I was probably going to start working for an independent, so she just did her own thing.”

Miller sees firing Huckelberry as the key change the county needs. “What we need to do is get a board elected that is willing to take Mr. Huckelberry and let him go,” Miller said at an August Tea Party debate. “He’s been running that county too long.” Wright recalls the last time Republicans took control of the Board of Supervisors and dismissed a group in upper management. The county’s administration was thrown into chaos, and the dismissed workers won a legal settlement that cost county taxpayers millions of dollars. Ultimately, the business community leaned on the Board of Supervisors to hire a new administrator to bring some stability to the county, in 1993. That administrator’s name? Chuck Huckelberry, who has been in the top slot ever since. Wright believes Huckelberry is doing a good job. She points out that county property taxes have remained stable, even as other jurisdictions have had serious budget troubles, and the state has cut funding for the county. Wright recalls that Huckelberry started out as a civil engineer whose focus was on building roads and other infrastructure, including a project that lined river banks with soil cement, much to the dismay of environmentalists. “He’s grown over time to be a person who has a real forward vision for the county,” Wright says. “I’ve talked to longtime conservationists who say he changed over time from a guy who wanted to build roads and bridges to seeing that there was a lot more to it. That’s why we have the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and a bicycle loop. He sees things in a much-broader way. It’s not just growth or no growth. It’s a much-more-balanced vision.”

The only thing standing between Democrat Sharon Bronson and a fifth term on the Pima County Board of Supervisors is Republican Tanner Bell. Bell, a former offensive tackle on the UA football team, hopes to bring an end to Bronson’s 16-year Sharon Bronson career representing District 3. The District 3 race is the key battleground for those who want to flip control of the Board of Supervisors into GOP hands. At the moment, Democrats have a 3-2 edge. It’s unlikely that either Richard Elías (who is facing Republican Fernando Gonzales) or Ramón Valadez (who is facing Republican Jim Kelley) will lose in their heavily Democratic districts. That leaves Bell to take out Bronson so that the county’s critics can move forward with plans to fire County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry and create a business environment with fewer regulations on developers and other businesses. Bell has an uphill battle. Democrats make up 40 percent of the voters in the sprawling District 3, which stretches from central Tucson and Marana west across the Tohono O’odham Nation to Ajo. Republicans make up just 28 percent of the voters, less than the 32 percent who are independents. Bronson also has a financial advantage. As of Sept. 17, she had raised more than $83,700 for her campaign and had nearly $67,000 going into the post-primary stretch, while Bell had raised just $22,500, with $7,700 on hand heading into the final weeks of the campaign. But Bell is getting some help on the financial front. An independent-expenditure committee called Restoring Pride in Pima County has been buying ads on TV, radio and the Internet (including TucsonWeekly.com) to hammer away at Bronson. The group’s financial backers remain unknown. It is funded with socalled “dark money” raised by Arizonans for a Brighter Future, a nonprofit “business league” headed by developer Mike Farley, who has declined to reveal his contributors. Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, he is not legally obligated to do so. Farley has been upset by a county plan to improve the intersection at Valencia and Kolb roads. Farley owns property there and wants a different design for the intersection, because the county’s current plan will limit his ability to build a shopping center. Huckelberry says Farley’s preferred plan would cost taxpayers more money and result in a less-efficient roadway. (See “The Bright Stuff,” Aug. 2.)

CITYWEEK

OCTOBER 18-24, 2012 OUR TOP PICKS OF WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO DO IT BY INÉS TARACENA AND MARIANA DALE

Buddhist Warriors

Digging Archaeology

PICK OF THE WEEK

The origin of the Shaolin Warriors is rooted in tales dating back to approximately A.D. 525. The stories say that, in the midst of persecution, a group of Buddhist monks searched for ways to protect themselves from aggression. The monks began to mimic the attack and defense movements of the animals living in the surroundings of the Shaolin monastery. The exercises helped them increase their health and strength—and over time, the practices gave rise to what is known as Shaolin kung fu. The Shaolin monastery still stands in the Chinese province of Henan. Nowadays, the monks who occupy it don’t need to use kung fu to defend themselves. Instead, they hold performances for the tourists who visit every day. “It is so interesting to picture these monks and their disciplines that go back thousands of years,” said Chuck Tennes, executive director of UApresents. “It is even more amazing to see that what started long ago will now be presented in Tucson.” In China, there are Shaolin kung fu performances in different areas of the country every day. The shows are free, and it is a tradition for families and neighbors to get together and watch them. “Kung fu is one of the many beautiful pieces of the Chinese culture,” said Han Wenqiao, translator for the Shaolin Warriors. “People can go everywhere, even the Shaolin monastery, and watch kung fu and other types of martial arts.” The Shaolin Warriors are a martial-arts performing group influenced by Shaolin kung fu The Shaolin Warriors and other traditions practiced in the Shaolin monastery. Members of the group don’t have a direct relationship with the monastery, but many of them come from Buddhist temples and martial-arts schools from around China. The Shaolin Warriors begin their physical and spiritual training when they are as young as 6. The touring group’s two youngest members are 12. Wenqiao said that they received permission to leave their martial-arts school in order to tour with the group. “They chose to come here and share the beauty of martial arts,” Wenqiao said. “But while they tour, they continue to learn new techniques as part of the performance. That way, when they return to their school, they will be able to reintegrate into the regimen.” The other 20 performers are monks recruited from temples from around the country. Their lives are devoted to Buddhism and martial arts. To the Warriors, Shaolin kung fu is more than a martial art. They use it as a tool to help them through their spiritual and physical disciplines. Because Buddhism rejects violence, the Warriors don’t use Shaolin kung fu as a weapon, but as part of a process to reach enlightenment. Their sole goal is to develop a life of patience, selfcontrol and, eventually, wisdom. Wenqiao said that Shaolin kung fu is a combination of Zen and martial arts. Zen meditation helps the Warriors reach a state of mind

that allows them to endure the difficult, and sometimes painful, Shaolin kung fu training. When the Warriors are on tour, they continue to study Buddhism and polish their physical skills. They train for about four hours each day, meditate for about three hours, and have strict vegetarian diets, as they would back in their monasteries and martial-arts schools. “There is a lot of passion involved in the performance,” Wenqiao said. “It takes a lot of sacrifice to be a Shaolin Warrior.” The Warriors’ Buddhist upbringing is reflected in the performance itself. The show is divided into five stages: enlightenment, mind over body, mimic boxing, mastery of weapons, and graduation test. The 90-minute performance takes the audience through the journey of becoming a Shaolin Warrior. “Their show is very appealing, because it covers their physical and spiritual disciplines,” Tennes said. “It is an easy performance to relate to, because it involves history, martial arts and spirituality. There is something for everyone to enjoy.” Tennes has been working to bring the Shaolin Warriors to Tucson for more than a year. He said he was fascinated by the ancient history of Shaolin kung fu and how loyal the Warriors are to the beliefs it dictates. “We should appreciate the traditions of people who were here long before us,” Tennes said. “The Warriors are carrying traditions through so many generations, and it is such a privilege to get a close look at a tradition that has traveled halfway across the world, and for more than 1,500 years.” The Shaolin Warriors will perform at 3 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 21, at the UA’s Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd. Tickets are $27 to $47. For more information, call 621-3341, or visit uapresents.org. Inés Taracena mailbag@tucsonweekly.com

The Amerind Foundation’s 75th Anniversary 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 21 The Amerind Foundation 2100 N. Amerind Road, Dragoon (520) 586-3666, ext. 11; www.amerind.org

The Amerind Foundation has been dedicated to the study of Native American cultures since 1937, and is celebrating its 75th anniversary with lectures, dancing, storytelling and crafts. “It’s going to be fun, educational and great for the whole family,” said Becky Rebenstorf, Amerind’s development director. The founders, Rose and William Shirley Fulton, purchased 1,200 acres in the Texas Canyon area east of Tucson, not only for their home, but also as a hub for education and research. Merritt Starkweather, the architect responsible for the iconic Arizona Inn, designed the campus. “It’s beautiful, and it reflects sort of a refined way of living merged with a center where people would come and study,” Rebenstorf said. Though William Fulton was not an archaeologist, his deep pockets funded many early archaeological excavations, such as Casas Grandes in northern Chihuahua, Mexico. Executive director John Ware will start the celebration by elaborating on the early days of the foundation. Much of the event will be devoted to demonstrations of Native American dancing, singing, art and storytelling. The Fulton-Hayden Memorial Art Gallery and Fulton Seminar House will be open to the public. The latter is usually designated for researchers and scholars who visit Amerind to use the foundation’s library and write in peace and seclusion, Rebenstorf said. If attendees aren’t inspired by the wisdom hidden away in the rare volumes, there is always the magic of Texas Canyon’s stunning rock formations. “The views are amazing,” Rebenstorf said. The Amerind Foundation is about an hour’s drive east of Tucson off Interstate 10. Take the Dragoon Road exit. The event is free. Parking is $2 per car. —M.D.

Susan Meiselas broke into the world of documentary photography by snapping countless photos of scantily-dressed women under neon lighting for her book Carnival Strippers. Since the 1970s, her work has crossed social and geographical boundaries. Meiselas’ lecture at the UA won’t feature much neon lighting or nudity, but will instead focus on her international work in areas of conflict. In Nicaragua, her photos offer a firstperson account of a people’s uprising in the 1980s. Then she returned years later to track down her subjects. The other part of the presentation will involve her portrayal of the genocide and exile of the Kurdish people of Iraq under the reign of Saddam Hussein. In order to tell their story, she collected firsthand accounts, documents and other items to create a public archive. Meiselas’ presentation is part of the UA School of Art’s Visiting Artists and Scholars Series, this year dubbed “Dwelling: From Space to Place in the Visual Arts.” The theme is meant to reflect the political upheavals, financial crises and growing number of refugees around the world, and how art connects with them, said Ellen McMahon, a UA art professor and chairwoman of the committee in charge of inviting the speakers. Lectures in previous years have focused on science, sustainability and history. “It’s part of our mission to bring excellent artists and scholars from various backgrounds to Tucson,” McMahon said. “It’s a great opportunity to see … socially and politically relevant contemporary and cutting-edge work.” After her lecture, Meiselas will take questions from the audience. The event is free. —M.D.

2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 21 Joel D. Valdez Main Library 101 N. Stone Ave. foundmagazine.com

Random letters, notes or photos found in strange places need not be discarded. The creators of FOUND Magazine make a living out of them: For a decade, they have been exposing everything from uncomfortable secrets to letters to God written by people they have never met. Davy Rothbart, writer and co-creator of FOUND, is coming to the Old Pueblo as part of the magazine’s 10th anniversary tour. Rothbart also is promoting his new book, My Heart Is an Idiot, a collection of personal essays on Rothbart’s love life and his encounters with odd characters on the road. “Everything is based on my experiences meeting different people while traveling the country,” Rothbart said. “It took about three years to put it all together.” With FOUND, Rothbart made a name for himself by publishing intimate letters and silly notes found and sent in by people from around the world. During the presentation, Rothbart will share new finds from the magazine’s eighth edition. Rothbart’s musician brother, Peter, will join him onstage with melodies from his new album, You Are What You Dream. “The songs in the album also revolve around ‘founds’ that people have seen in the magazine,” Rothbart said. “They are all over the place. There’s a song based on a letter to God, found in Hawaii, written by a woman who had just had her second miscarriage. But then there is also a song that goes, ‘The booty don’t stop,’ over and over again.” Rothbart will also talk about his contributions to public radio’s This American Life. Admission to the Saturday show is $6 in advance, or $8 at the door. Admission to the Sunday show is free. —I.T.

Mari Herreras, mherreras@tucsonweekly.com

How did you get involved in this project? I started directing in Tucson the annual production of The Vagina Monologues in English and Spanish. This year, we weren’t able to put on the production. When I first saw Beyond the Walls, I had already traveled to Colombia as a public-health professional. In December, at the Derechos Humanos human-rights forum, they presented this play, which is really testimony from women who have experienced being political prisoners. When I saw it, I realized it has potential to have so much more, with acting and music, to really send out the message about the women who are living through this.

Is there something that draws you to telling stories of women? I love telling the stories of other women. No matter where they are on the planet, there is this connection that happens, especially between mothers. Here in Arizona, we have our own issues that are similar to those in Colombia with prisons and the separation of families. Family members are sent off, and family is not always able to visit them. Also, like here, the private-prison model is being used by corporations in Colombia. Tucson’s James Jordan, from the Alliance for Global Justice, is going to talk about that and how U.S. companies are investing in private prisons in Colombia.

You wanted a chance to put your directing skills to use? Yes, because I have experience directing and working with women, I knew I wanted to work with this project. Still, this isn’t a super-artistic show; it is community theater. Most of the women have never acted, but wanted to bring these stories onstage and to the public, and work through these testimonies. These stories are hard to grasp, and it can be hard to understand what women lived through during their status as political prisoners, and the status of their families. It’s challenging.

What can you share about the women volunteers? It’s a diverse group of women. One woman has experience in that her mother recently became detained. There’s a UA Mexican-American studies professor who is Colombian herself. … One woman, who was adopted, her family was murdered in Colombia when her and her brother were very young. She was adopted by a couple in the Latin American Solidarity Network in the 1970s and raised in Minnesota. She’s trying to connect with her biological roots. Another woman has actually gone to the prisons where the women are held in Bogotá. Her sister is also in the show.

22 WWW.TuCsON WEEKLY.COM

I’d say everyone in the group has a commitment to the community. We also have a woman from Wisconsin who is just learning about everything and is so dedicated, and another woman who is … in the Danza Azteca (group). They are all amazing. What do feel your main purpose is in doing this event? Our main purpose is not only to inform the community of what is happening, but to also create a presence in the U.S. to pressure our own government. We have to be a constant voice in order to make sure there is a base watching, and let people know what is happening, and that human rights are not violated over and over again. What are you most excited about in the production? One of the most-beautiful things is three poems that are in the play that are accompanied by cello-player Laurel Bellante, and there is also a Latino-American folk group, Entre Peruanos. There will be Colombian foods from Sabor Tropical, and Taller Sin Miedo will be there printing T-shirts and posters. I think it’s really important to mention how supportive Most Holy Trinity has been. They have a prison ministry, so it seemed like the perfect place to have it.

PERFORMING ARTS While â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offers ample laughs, the playwright often overshadows his characters

A Farce That Flails BY SHERILYN FORRESTER, sforrester@tucsonweekly.com he star of Steven Dietzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Car, is Steven Dietz. The show is being produced by Sacred Chicken Productions, utilizing the facilities of the Beowulf Alley Theatre. In general, we are treated to a group of satisfactorily skilled theater folks investing their earnest efforts in thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ahemâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;vehicle, which is often quite funny. But what we see mostly is Dietz, not serving up his story, but upstaging it. This is not a good thing. In spite of this, the production is entertaining, and many aspects of the piece that Dietz has dreamed up come to energetic life thanks to a committed cast under the direction of Rhonda Hallquist. Dietzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play was commissioned by a wealthy businessman as a gift to his wife. Frankly, it has the feeling of being an inside joke. Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honest effort to tell a humorous tale, it also seems like a caravan of sometimes-clever, sometimes-clumsy playmaking tricks. In spite of creating an interesting way to tell a story, Dietzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shenanigans often undercut or overwhelm his tale. Becky (Carrie Hill) is the island around which the traffic circle turns. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whirlwind of motherhood, wife, housekeeper and overworked bookkeeper at a car dealership. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing discernibly wrong with her life. She frets about her 24-year-old son who still lives at home. Her husband, Joe (Gabriel Nagy), is a regular, well, Joe, a roofer whose own roof leaks and who wishes his wife would be a bit more attentive. Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-worker is unable to do much besides talk about his dead wife and sell cars. Becky muses about a friend telling her that at a certain age, a woman becomes invisibleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which, Becky learns, may not be as bad as it

seems. She has also been told by a late colleagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife that when a woman says she wants new shoes, what she really wants is a new job. When a woman says she wants a new house, she wants a new husband. And if a woman wants a new car, she actually wants a new life. Becky wants a new car. One day, long after the shop has officially closed, a man walks into the dealership and laments that he needs to get gifts for his employees, and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just no good at selecting giftsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his late wife used to do that kind of thing. Perhaps, he wonders, he could purchase a few cars as gifts, since most people seem to like cars. Becky is overwhelmed with his request, but understands that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn down an offer like this, and agrees to assist. Something about this encounter causes a shift in Becky. As they are talking, the man, Walter Flood (Jeff Scotland), of local billboard-empire fame, makes an assumption that Becky is a widow, and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t correct him. She is genuinely perplexed by her behavior, but she soon finds herself living a double-life, assisted by her seemingly unsuspecting husband. She is both the old Becky and the new Rebecca, mistress of the wealthy Flood. The play is a farce, a tried-and-true model of theater, which involves mistaken identities, miscommunications, duplicity, lies, surprising character connections and comeuppance. This is a pretty-well-conceived and executed farce, actually. Dietz does more than flirt with the idea that the piece should have substanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but the substance he actualizes is about â&#x20AC;&#x153;as deep as a cookie sheet,â&#x20AC;? to use his words regarding a character. At times, it seems he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust either his story or his storytelling. Dietz challenges an actress by creating in

Jeff Scotland and Carrie Hill in Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Car. Becky a complex character, both grounded and opportunistic. Hill gives Becky a good ride, though she perhaps tries a bit too hard to cement the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest at first. Dietz has her address the audience directly throughout, a common-enough convention, and one that serves this story. Then, however, he has her enlist audience members to perform actual tasksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;moments which feel cheesy. Hill embraces it gamely, although you get the feeling she might be thinking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little cheesy, too. However, Hill gives a solid performance, and we do sympathize with her questionable choices as the story unfolds. Dietz knows what he wants from his supporting characters. He has fun with Joe, and Nagy gives us a gentle guy who can also be a little intimidating (and who might know more than you think). Aaron Guisinger is the psychology-major son, and Steve McKee is Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incessantly distraught co-worker. Lucille Petty is fine in a small role as Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, and Amy Erbe is quite delightful in a tiny turn as the once-wealthy but now-penniless Ginger, the would-be digger for Floodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold who hap-

Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Car Presented by Sacred Chicken Productions 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday; 2:30 p.m., Sunday, through Sunday, Oct. 28 Beowulf Alley Theatre 11 S. Sixth Ave. $20 general; $18 students and seniors Runs two hours, with one intermission 400-1424; www.sacredchickenproductions.com

pily settles for becoming a bartender. However, there seems to be no chemistry between Flood and Becky/Rebecca. The playing out of their relationship most definitely presents a challenge, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really the destination of Beckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new life. Still, there needs to be some sort of believable connection between them, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it. There are some genuine laughs in the play, but there are also potholes. Although this group gives us an entertaining trip, too often, we are aware that it is the playwright pressing on the accelerator rather than his characters.

PERFORMING ARTS Solid ‘Fallen Angels’ and ‘Avenue Q’ touch on changing ideas about sexuality

Jodi Ajanovic and Maria Caprile in Live Theatre Workshop’s Fallen Angels.

Evolving Views BY LAURA C.J. OWEN, lowen@tucsonweekly.com m ast weekend, Tucson celebrated Pride, a festival for the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community. Meanwhile, two Tucson theaters were showing very different theatrical productions that could be said to have “queer” themes—the UA’s Arizona Repertory Theatre opened the contemporary musical Avenue Q, while Live Theatre Workshop resuscitated Noël Coward’s 1925 farce Fallen Angels. Both are solid, entertaining productions. Yet the differences between them demonstrate just how radically our public conversation about sex and sexuality has evolved. One of the characters in the irreverent Avenue Q just might be gay, and the musical won mainstream adoration. With music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, and a book by Jeff Whitty, it was a critically acclaimed off-Broadway smash in 2003, and went on to a successful Broadway run and a stint at the Wynn in Las Vegas. The musical uses puppets to riff on the children’s program Sesame Street. (Just as in Sesame Street, the puppets mix with “live action” actors.) ART’s production mimics that famous street with a backdrop of brownstone houses. The impressive set, designed by Clare P. Rowe, can come apart and light up in order to suggest action both outside and inside the avenue’s buildings. The young-adult characters who live on Avenue Q, a low-rent area in Brooklyn, are a mixed bunch. Princeton is a new college graduate, portrayed by a preppy-looking looking puppet controlled by actor Michael Calvoni. Princeton meets kindergarten-teaching-aide Kate Monster, a puppet handled by actor Marie MacKnight. There’s also Rod (Cooper Hallstrom) and Nicky (Chris Karl), roommates who resemble the iconic Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie. Nodding to many folks’ sense that Bert and Ernie’s relationship is a little queer, Nicky wishes Rod could feel comfortable coming out. Despite the upbeat puppetry, Avenue Q tackles the thoroughly adult themes of how to find a job, a suitable sex partner and a sense of purpose. The show explores the question of Rod’s sexuality in the song “If You Were Gay,” and covers other weighty themes in “What Do You Do With a B.A. in English?” and “The Internet Is for Porn.” It’s Avenue Q’s frank discussion of uncomfortable topics via catchy, cheerful tunes that makes it so winning. In addition to director Rob Gretta and musical director Monte Ralstin, the production has a director of puppetry: Michelle Lane,

Princeton (Michael Calvoni), Gary Coleman Avenue Q. a UA alumna who was in Avenue Q at the Wynn and on Broadway. Her influence is clear in the actors’ skillful handling of the puppets —by the end of the evening, it’s possible to differentiate subtle changes in the expressions of MacKnight’s Kate and Calvoni’s Princeton. Not all of the student performers’ voices are of professional quality, of course, but the show is tight and polished. Whether you’re new to the neighborhood of Avenue Q, or it’s already a favorite, this production is worth checking out.

n contrast to the adulation the gayfriendly Avenue Q received, British writer Coward’s play Fallen Angels was met with bitter backlash upon its 1925 debut. Angels concerns two married women, Julia (played here by Jodi Ajanovic) and Jane (Maria Caprile). Both once had an affair with the same charming Frenchman. Upon receiving news that he has arrived in London, the two friends work themselves into a veritable frenzy of excitement. The notion of women freely admitting to sexual desire was met at the time with shock. According to Philip Hoare’s Noel Coward: A Biography, the majority of critics found the play “vulgar, disgusting, shocking, nauseating, vile, obscene, degenerate.” The notion that Fallen Angels was degenerate might also have had something to do with the playwright. While Coward never acknowledged his homosexuality in public, he

(Sydnee Ortiz) and Kate Monster (Marie MacKnight) in Arizona Repertory Theatre’s discussed it frankly in letters. “According to some reports,” Hoare writes, the play’s premise “was based on a real-life episode when Noel and (his friend) Gladys were both dressed up waiting for a mutual boyfriend to arrive.” Nowadays, of course, the play comes across as quite tame. The action all takes place in one room, a minimal but lovely early 20th-century interior designed and constructed by Richard and Amanda Gremel. No one actually utters the word “sex,” and everyone communicates in the stylized, witty bon mots for which Coward is known. Yet it’s still comically disconcerting to see the women be so cold toward their husbands, the mild-mannered Fred (Cliff Madison) and Willy (Rick Shipman). In a nice touch by costume-designer Samantha Cormier, the husbands appear together in nearly matching golf sweaters, indicating their essential similarity and gaucheness. All of the cast members are lively and engaged. Ajanovic and Caprile both have a sense of physical comedy and deliciously amp up the distress as Julia and Jane become more and more overwrought. At a few points, something felt a little off on opening night. It was hard to tell if this was because of Chris Wilken’s direction or snafus by the cast, but there was one awkward pause and one mistimed entrance. Still, overall, the production was an enjoyable blast from the past. Seeing Avenue Q and Fallen Angels side by

side is a timely reminder that the medium of theater, even when providing superficial entertainment, has consistently pushed the boundaries of what can and cannot be publicly discussed. This, one hopes, has paved the way (and will continue to pave the way) for a more open and accepting society.

See that? You probably know it as a victory burnout. What you don’t know is who will have the honors at PIR’s Victory Lane. Maybe it’ll be Junior. Maybe Smoke. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll be this year’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion. It’s the last race before the Chase finale. Secure your seats. Some burnouts can’t be missed.

VISUAL ARTS Five decades of work by Barbara Rogers is on display at the Tucson Museum of Art

After the Storm BY MARGARET REGAN, mregan@tucsonweekly.com tropical storm blew into Hawaii during Thanksgiving week in 1982. Raging across the tropical paradise, it reached hurricane strength, leveling thousands of buildings. Artist Barbara Rogers was visiting the islands, planning to soak up inspiration for her magical realist paintings. But Hawaii’s Hurricane Iwa not only tossed houses by the hundreds into the sea, and took some human lives; it also swept away Rogers’ longtime painterly preoccupations. For years, she had been making hyperrealist paintings of fantasy gardens. Bursting with exotic flowers, greenery and erotically charged nudes, the paintings had won her a fair amount of renown in San Francisco in the 1970s. But after seeing the devastation, Rogers could no longer conceive of nature as pristine and benign, a place of refuge. She began to paint nature as a thing both mercurial and dangerous. Abandoning her controlled, photorealist painting technique, she embraced wild brushwork and abstracted shapes. That dramatic change is documented in Barbara Rogers: The Imperative of Beauty, a Fifty-Year Retrospective, a sprawling show at the Tucson Museum of Art. “Three Nudes and a Samurai Bowsman,” 1972, is a typical painting from before the storm. Three handsome young nudes—one man and two women—stand in a green bower under a canopy of tropical leaves. (Rogers wittily tweaks the art historical tradition of male painters turning their gaze on nude women— the only one of her three nudes whose body is fully exposed is the man.) Seated to the right of the figures, Buddha-like, is a samurai in traditional garments. For all its erotic charge, the picture is cool and disciplined, tightly composed. As she did with most of her paintings in those years, Rogers used an airbrush—the tool of a commercial artist—to spray her paint on the canvas. Untouched by the human hand, its surface is smooth, flat, almost mechanical. The storm freed her. Once she experienced Hurricane Iwa, her slick airbrush work gave way to brushy expressionism; tidy compositions ceded to rebellious colors and messy shapes. In “After the Storm,” 1985, her orderly paradise has been replaced by a turbulent sea. Abstracted fragments of debris tumble through the waves, their triangular shape suggesting a tempesttossed boat and a roof gone rogue. Even the colors break out. The cool and controlled greens of her earlier gardens metamorphose into hot yel-

lows and tropical turquoise. Like Adam and Eve after the Fall, the humans have been expelled, never to return to Rogers’ work. Thoughtfully organized by Julie Sasse, the museum’s chief curator, the retrospective travels through a half-century of changing painting styles. The shifts are surprising to anyone who knows only Rogers’ serene work of the last 20 years—elegant paintings of floating seed pods and decorative spirals. Rogers, now 75, is retired from teaching at the UA, where she was a beloved prof for almost two decades. Originally a country girl from Ohio, she trained at Ohio State, specializing in life-drawing, and picked up a bachelor’s degree in art in 1959. Heading west to immerse herself in the heady art scene in San Francisco, she studied with renowned artists like Richard Diebenkorn, master of California light. Bay Area artists were ricocheting between abstraction and figuration, and in a couple of small drawings that Rogers produced in 1962 at Berkeley, where she got her master’s degree, you can feel the young artist trying to marry the abstraction of her professors with her penchant for figuration. A rudimentary human figure in an untitled ink drawing is made up of a couple of black slashes. A second ink work is pure abstraction, a nice patchy composition of black, white and gray shapes that presages the space and elements in her mature paintings. Rogers soon turned to the figure in earnest, turning out hyperrealist works that captured the ’70s zeitgeist. Painted with a pop-art, almost-hallucinogenic sensibility, these flat paintings featured glistening glass, red-painted fingernails or a foot in a pair of red stiletto heels (“Claude’s Arm and Donna’s Leg,” 1978). She wasn’t the only young artist trying out hyperrealism in the 1970s. But many photorealists (most of them men) delighted in painting the world’s shiny machines, its metal cars on slick streets, its telephone wires strung against the sky. Rogers instead made what you might call hyperfantasy. Every leaf and flower in her imaginary gardens was meticulously rendered, but these were not places she’d run into on Telegraph Avenue. In fact, she has written that she began painting her fantasy gardens during Berkeley’s tumultuous years, as an escape from the craziness of the streets. They were the idyllic gardens of her imagination, the Garden of Eden come to life in airbrushed paint. Hurricane Iwa can’t take all the credit for Rogers’ mid-’80s switch to freer work. If you look at the slick “Delphic Tripod,” 1984, you see a style coming to its logical conclusion. This col-

Barbara Rogers’ “A Flamingo in the Garden lithograph (cropped). lection of geometries—cones, spheres, triangles, cylinders—in silvery teal is the last of the airbrush works in the show. It’s brilliantly composed, sharp, elegant—and cold. You can almost sense Rogers straining to set herself free. Ever since the sea change wrought by the storm, the artist has been making a different kind of nature art. She loves to paint and draw the complicated creations of nature—odd seed pods, cactus skeletons, plant tendrils—and assemble these elements into compositions divided into densely colored background panels. She moved to Tucson in 1990, and the desert’s warm golds and yellows have mostly supplanted the crisp cool greens of her coastal years. A set of small California earth-toned works (the “Tropical Debris” series) is particularly lovely. Made in the late ’80s, these mixed-media abstractions still carry a little menace, a hint of the storm in their swaths of brown and gold. Rogers nowadays works in a host of media. She uses oil instead of acrylics, giving her paintings more time to dry, and she sometimes works in waxy encaustics, adding waxy textures to the oils. She travels the world, especially India of late, checking out plants and humans. She’s still making gardens, but they’re simpli-

fied and sanctified. Meditative spaces divided into bands of color, they no longer have plants growing from the soil. Instead, they’re afloat or airborne. In paintings like the beautiful “Hothouse Hybrids #2,” 2001, leaves and flowers and cells and spirals drift across passages of yellow orange and light earth-green. Rogers found a way to get herself back to the garden, as Joni Mitchell advised, and this one is stardust and golden. OCTOBER 18 – 24, 2012

BOOKS Tucsonan Darrell James brings back Del Shannon for a Sonoran adventure

Drugs and Prophecy BY CHRISTINE WALD-HOPKINS, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com t’s not just the international borderline that gets crossed in the new Del Shannon crime thriller, Crossing Sonora; you’ve also got marriage-vow lines, legal lines and loyalty lines. And then there’s the normal/paranormal line. Or not. When last we saw Del Shannon, she’d been blasting away at a shooting range to exorcise the demons from the loss of her mother. This time, when we first see her, she’s blasting away at that shooting range to exorcise the demons from the death of a former lover. That the lover had, in fact, been married to someone else (and lied about it) only aggravates the loss. Tucson writer Darrell James has created a character who points a pistol at inanimate objects when life smacks her down. In his 2011 debut novel, Nazareth Child, James took Tucson private investigator Shannon out of the desert to infiltrate a religious cult in Kentucky. In Sonora Crossing, he takes advantage of the lucrative local drug-smuggling corridors to let her work in her own backyard. Once Shannon has assuaged her grief by firing off 30 expert rounds—and then taking in a quickie with a rodeo cowboy—she considers accepting a new assignment: A 6-year-old Arizona girl has been kidnapped by her druglord uncle and taken into Mexico. The uncle—Santos de la Cal, “The Assassin of Sonora”— believes the child has prophetic powers, and he’s reputed to consult her when he plans drug deliveries. Shannon’s job would be to locate and retrieve her. Shannon hesitates to accept it until she finds, in the child’s bedroom, a wall of newspaper clippings about herself—Del Shannon, crack locator of missing persons. That the girl had also clipped a photo of Shannon’s ex-, a cop ostensibly murdered by a cuckolded husband, seals the deal, and she’s off to Mexico. The Sonora depicted in this novel isn’t the beach-and-margaritas one the state tourist bureau would paint. The violence of competing drug cartels is featured, along with recent U.S. State Department travel warnings. Add to that the description of Santos’ dungeon/prison/penthouse digs in a rusty copper-mining area, the stranglehold his gang has on the population of the region, and the Wild West quality of Sonora’s desert and mountain areas, and you could well come away with the impression that northern Mexico is a pretty darn dangerous place.

TOP TEN Antigone Books’ best-sellers for the week ending Oct. 12, 2012 1. A Safeway in Arizona: What the Gabrielle Giffords Shooting Tells Us About the Grand Canyon State and Life in America Tom Zoellner, Viking ($26.95)

By Darrell James Midnight Ink 360 pages, $14.99

At play in the narrative—in addition to the search for the kidnapped girl, Aurea—are Shannon’s unsettled personal life; La Banda, an armed group of Mexican civilians challenging Santos’ violent reign (led by the handsome Francisco Estrada); and the question of the child. Aurea has a compelling, but mute, presence. She communicates with her eyes and selective pointing. Her uncle sees it as prophetic, but any true capacity for “prophecy” is viewed skeptically by some, and anxiously by others. James sets up a classic good-guy/bad-guy conflict between Shannon and Santos, but some of the other characters range in the murky space between. The first character we see killed, for example, is attempting to extricate himself from Santos’ corrupt circle. It’s an impulse we’ll see again: Easy money and power tempt the poor and powerless, and then they’re stuck on the wrong side. In a pivotal subplot, the regional captain of the federales, Nesto Para, who is firmly on Santos’ payroll, finds himself conflicted. He feels some sympathy for La Banda, and Santos is suspicious of him. Santos tests Para’s loyalty, and Para sweats out a session in front of Aurea’s piercing gaze. When Estrada is called upon to help Shannon and needs police support, Para faces a decision that puts his life on the line. James has lots of narrative balls in the air, but he keeps the action relatively unburdened by thematic freight or nuanced character development. Shannon does her job, and she’s bolstered by a little cross-border romance with Estrada. Most of the plot is original and entertaining, with one rather predictable element overshadowed by another terrific surprise— but the end might have one twist too many. Del Shannon is a character you’d like to continue to follow. She’s smart, sexy, tough and adventurous—a female P.I. who doesn’t depend on men. And James has her engaged in situations with some interesting psychological implications. As for the little girl’s powers in Sonora Crossing: James drops an academic hint that some new-agers believe there are highly “evolved” children, known as “Indigo children” for the color of the aura they emit. As for the question of whether this child crosses over into that category, James leaves the answer satisfyingly ambiguous.

TOP TEN Casa Video’s top rentals for the week ending Oct. 14, 2012

BY BOB GRIMM, bgrimm@tucsonweekly.com enjoy watching Ethan Hawke getting the shit scared out of him. He spends much of Sinister in this mode, so I enjoyed the film, to a certain extent. Sinister is a kooky stew of horror themes, including the isolated writer, found-footage deaths, haunted houses and scary children. They are presented in a sporadically creepy fashion by director Scott Derrickson, with Mr. Hawke at the center of it all, expertly hyperventilating. Hawke plays Ellison Oswalt, a true-crime author 10 years removed from his last big success and looking for inspiration. He moves his family into a house where another family was hung from a tree in the backyard. Derrickson actually starts his movie off with the image of the family being hanged; it’s just one of the film’s many haunting images. Oswalt finds a box of home movies (along with a rather disgusting scorpion) in the attic, and sets about watching them. This is the first of many bad decisions Oswalt will make. (Actually, it’s the second if you count Oswalt moving into this creepy house in the first place.) The movies are snuff films compiled since the ’60s, and they totally suck to watch. One depicts a family being drowned in lounge chairs in their pool; another shows a different family having their throats slit. Oswalt gets the notion that perhaps he should call the police—but fame beckons, and he concludes that all of this will contribute to one helluva book. Oswalt, like many horror film protagonists, is a genuine idiot. As the horror factor ratchets up, Oswalt sticks around the house. His young son crawls out of a box screeching, looking not unlike Linda Blair doing the spider-walk thing in that cut scene from The Exorcist. However, Oswalt just puts the kid to bed and goes back to watching snuff films. A local deputy (James Ransone) steps in to help Oswalt with some fact-finding. Turns out the murders are all connected in a way that should provide Oswalt with yet another reason to move out. Instead, he stays. That same deputy connects Oswalt with a professor type (Vincent D’Onofrio) who informs him that symbols found at the murder sites are connected to an ancient monster called Bughuul that eats children’s souls. Upon hearing this, Oswalt has another cup of coffee and continues his research. As I stated before, Oswalt is a genuine idiot. Derrickson, who also co-wrote the screenplay, has a gift for telegraphing his scares …

It appears … and it’s alarming. He’ll offer a moment of hesitation when you know a jolting sound will occur. That jolt eventually comes … and it’s still freaking scary. My face went cold many times watching this movie. People around me either got up and left, or started crying. A horror movie that makes people cry gets high marks from yours truly. Hawke does terrified with the best of them. Think of his looks of horror while observing Denzel Washington breaking rules in Training Day, or that panicked expression on his face as things spun out of control in Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. He’s got a top-notch freaked-out face, and that look is employed well in this movie. As Oswalt’s stressed-out wife, Tracy, Juliet Rylance ruins just about every moment of the film she occupies. Her role isn’t written very well—she’s the typical “I just can’t take this anymore!” spouse. That said, many better actors and actresses have risen above the material when given poorly written characters. Rylance is a trumpet with a stinky sock stuck in the bell. As the two kids with a dad who blows at picking houses, Michael Hall D’Addario and Clare Foley make up for some of Rylance’s slack. Foley is especially good at occupying the stereotypical “creepy daughter who talks to ghosts”

role. See? Foley got handed a hackneyed role and made something out of it. We only see the monster Bughuul in a few quick moments, but, boy, are those effective moments. There’s a sequence involving a swimming pool that definitely had me walking with quicker strides to my car in the dark parking lot after the movie. Bughuul is the sort of fake myth that is so rich, you will find yourself Googling him to see if he has an actual pagan history. He doesn’t; he’s completely made up. This tells me that the folks who wrote Sinister are pretty damn sick in the head. That’s an attribute that bothers me if the afflicted one is my next-door neighbor. However, when the guy making a horror movie is a little nuts, it’s a blessing. OCTOBER 18 – 24, 2012

CINEMA This remake of a 72-year-old film features characters that feel familiar all these years later

A Family at War BY COLIN BOYD, cboyd@tucsonweekly.com arcel Pagnol’s influence on French cinema goes back to the 1930s. He made his early mark as a director, but Pagnol’s bigger contribution, at least by volume, was his writing. Many of his screenplays, stage plays and novels have been revisited time and again. This is the first remake of his 1940 film, The Well Digger’s Daughter. Speaking to the impact of Pagnol’s work in France overall, the film is directed by Daniel Auteuil, who appeared in perhaps the best-known Pagnol exports, the mid-’80s duo of Manon of the Spring and Jean de Florette. Auteuil is currently directing three more Pagnol adaptations as a trilogy. What is it about Pagnol’s catalog that appeals so widely to the French, and what makes these works so transferable across the Atlantic? It may involve how relatable Pagnol’s characters were then, and remain now. They have a genuine simplicity, even when faced with complex situations, that makes them feel very familiar. And in the case of The Well Digger’s Daughter, there is also the beautiful Provençal countryside and that florid dialogue. In the years before World War II, Pascal (Auteuil, directing himself) is trying to raise a half-dozen daughters on his own, on his meager salary from digging wells. The daughters help where they can, especially the eldest, 18-year-old Patricia (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey). Her father’s dream is to see Patricia marry his co-worker, Félipe (Kad Merad), despite their quarter-century age difference. Patricia is instead captivated by a young airman named Jacques (Nicolas Duvauchelle), who we later learn is the son of Pascal’s boss, a genealogy that complicates matters when Patricia carries Jacques’ child. When his regiment is called into duty, Jacques no-shows a final meeting with Patricia, leaving her pregnant and alone with no commitment from the father. Her own father more or less disowns her, citing the impact that a bastard child in the family would have on the prospects of her younger sisters. Félipe, still in love with Patricia, offers to marry her and raise the child as his own, but he, too, is called away to war. Undercutting the rural lifestyle that dominates the first 30 minutes of this film is the loud, messy unpredictability of the 20th century. We can assume that Pascal’s profession— proud as he is of his honest day’s work—will not last the rest of his life. Birds of war are in the air, and his daughter has committed a horrible sin that could have at that time

Reviews by Jacquie Allen, Colin Boyd and Bob Grimm.

NEWLY REVIEWED: HERE COMES THE BOOM

Kevin James is a likable oaf of an actor. He’s not the funniest guy in the room, but he’s good-natured, doesn’t take himself too seriously and has a charming, goofy personality. It worked on TV; it’s worked in a couple of movies before; and it works again in Here Comes the Boom. He plays a high school teacher who, in an effort to save the school’s struggling music program (run by the nicest actor in show business, Henry Winkler), begins a side career as a mixed-martial-arts fighter. You could, in fact, buy the public Kevin James doing something like that. Here Comes the Boom provides James with a role that fits his personality and build; he plays it for laughs, and makes a minor social point. Though far from great, Boom jumps over a low bar with relative ease. Boyd

Gere) finds a potential buyer for his company. The only problem: His firm is hemorrhaging millions due to a bad investment in Russian copper mines, so he borrows heavily to cook the books and make up for the missing revenues. On the financial-drama scale, this isn’t as gripping as last year’s Margin Call, but this part of Arbitrage hangs together pretty well. However, there’s a wildly unnecessary subplot involving vehicular manslaughter and a poor effort to cover it up that takes the focus off of what could be a really interesting story. The subplot gives Susan Sarandon and Tim Roth something to do, but it reduces Arbitrage to little more than a Law and Order episode. Boyd

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER

Astrid Bergès Frisbey in The Well Digger’s Daughter.

The Well Digger’s Daughter Not Rated Starring Daniel Auteuil, Astrid Bergès Frisbey and Nicolas Duvauchelle Directed by Daniel Auteuil Kino Lorber, 107 minutes Opens Friday, Oct. 20, at the Loft Cinema (795-7777).

marked the entire family as undesirable. The hook in The Well Digger’s Daughter is watching Pascal come to terms with everything all at once, even as he treats each ripple as a tidal wave. Astrid Bergès-Frisbey is another in the long tradition of beautiful young French actresses whose every move is utterly graceful, and whose every word is sublimely lyrical; Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Béart, Juliette Binoche, Audrey Tautou, Marion Cotillard—how do they do that so well, so often? Though she’s seemingly a lifetime older than her character at 26, Bergès-Frisbey brings incredible fragility to the role of Patricia, which makes Pascal’s perceived betrayal of his daughter even more heartbreaking. It is Auteuil, though, who moves this film forward. His direction is even, neither noticeably flawed nor noteworthy, although he had the sense to hire the great Alexandre Desplat to provide a terrific musical score. But his adaptation of Pagnol’s novel, and particularly his heavy-hearted performance as a man who cuts off his nose to spite his face, help carry The Well Digger’s Daughter beyond the ranks of just another French period piece. It says, quite convincingly, and with great ease, that the good old days and rough road ahead are what we make of them.

Writer Stephen Chbosky makes an impressive feature-directing debut with this adaptation of his semiautobiographical novel about high school kids in the early ’90s. Logan Lerman plays Charlie, a shy freshman who eventually winds up hanging out with a fringe group of students including Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson). The new friends help Charlie come out of his shell, and he ultimately realizes things about himself that need to be examined. Lerman is especially good as the film’s anchor, while Miller continues to exhibit the great talents he showed in We Need to Talk About Kevin. Watson gets to step away from Hermione, and she does so successfully, making Sam a complex, real kid. This is one of the better films about high school to come along in quite some time. Grimm V/H/S

A group of small-time criminals is hired to break into a house and steal an unusual, frightening video. There, they find a dead body and a trove of videotapes and TVs; as they try to find the specific tape, each of the men puts one in, and we see the bizarre stories that unfold on the screen. The idea behind this film—a series of found-footage short stories forms an anthology—is brilliant, but its execution is horrendous. One or two of the stories work on some level, but the poor acting and terrible writing bury them. The film tries various gimmicks, along with ultra-bloody gore, twists on standard horror-film contrivances and gratuitous nudity, but all are poorly utilized. At 116 minutes, V/H/S goes on far too long; it definitely could have used a re-edit. There are some decent ideas behind this film, though, and hopefully the sequel that’s currently in production can learn from its predecessor’s mistakes. Allen

ARGO

Obviously timely in the wake of attacks on American embassies throughout the Muslim world, Ben Affleck’s Argo recounts one of those formerly lost stories of history—lost, because it was never fully told until recently. When six Americans escaped the U.S. embassy in Tehran as it was being raided in 1979, the CIA had to act quietly to remove them from the home of the Canadian ambassador, where they fled. The official story about these refugees was not the real one. The real story, apparently, is that the CIA feigned a film production and attempted to smuggle out our six diplomats—out in the open—as members of a movie crew. Ben Affleck’s skills as a director now match his ascension: While Gone Baby Gone and The Town are quality, Argo is well-paced, focused, taut and absolutely terrific. Boyd KILLER JOE

Murders for hire almost never go off without a hitch in real life, and they’re even less-reliable in the movies. You either get stupid killers or stupid clients, or if you’re lucky (and Fargo is on cable), both. In William Friedkin’s Killer Joe, it’s the clients who don’t have it going on upstairs. Chris and Ansel (Emile Hirsch and Thomas Haden Church) hire badcop Joe (Matthew McConaughey) to kill a family member so they can claim the insurance money and pay off loan sharks. Sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Killer Joe is by no means a friendly motion picture, but the violence is pretty cartoonish and comes late enough in the proceedings that it’s hard to feel violated by it (despite the NC-17 rating). You should also know that this is the best Matthew McConaughey performance by a Texas mile, and his third really solid outing in a row. Boyd

Rarely has a film come along that looks this good. Shot in glorious 70-millimeter, Samsara plays to its strength by presenting many things that can only be truly appreciated on such a grand scale. By and large, it’s IMAX-quality stuff. (The IMAX science movies, that is, not the cheap up-converted Hollywood flicks.) Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson don’t have a story to tell so much as an experience to share. They traveled to 25 countries over a fiveyear span to capture remarkable visuals, and it’s certainly a captivating show. They do not editorialize regarding the subjects they shoot, nor do they reach for a larger point of connectedness—except for the one that dawns on you as you watch: We’ve got a remarkable planet, and here’s a pretty good atlas for it. Boyd SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN

In a decidedly stout year for documentaries, Searching for Sugar Man joins this summer’s The Imposter as a film that works outside of its seemingly impossible story to establish itself stylistically as well. That is not the way docs usually work. In this case, the film gains strength through its message of the timelessness of and hopefulness implied by music. It can be life-altering or even culture-altering. As hard as this story is to believe, you root for it every step of the way, over the course of some 40-odd years. From beginning to end, this is a fantastic journey and a great film. Boyd SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS

This is an ingenious, wildly engaging movie from Martin McDonagh, the man who brought us the brilliant In Bruges (my pick for the best movie in 2008). Colin Farrell stars as Marty, a character obviously modeled after the director. Marty is trying to write a screenplay called Seven Psychopaths, and he’s racking his brain for seven characters with distinctive killing methods. The way these characters appear to him is part of this film’s unending fun. Sam Rockwell plays Billy, Martin’s best bud, a struggling actor who makes money on the side by kidnapping dogs with Hans (a scene-stealing Christopher Walken). When they kidnap the beloved dog of a psychopath (Woody Harrelson), funny and violent things happen. Marty is trying for depth and beauty with his screenplay, while Billy screams for shootouts. Both characters get their wishes in hugely entertaining ways. Grimm TAKEN 2

More adventure? TUCSON WEEKLY’S cinema has movies… adventures and otherwise.

After the huge success of Taken, a sequel was a given. Liam Neeson returns as retired CIA agent Bryan, still somber yet very involved in the lives of his ex-wife (Famke Janssen) and his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace, a 29-year-old playing somebody who I’m guessing is supposed to be in their late teens). They all wind up overseas in another kidnap drama perpetrated by the father (Rade Serbedzija) of one of the last film’s victims. This is copycat moviemaking at its lamest, and Neeson looks embarrassed to be in it. I loved Neeson this year in The Grey, featuring career-best work, but this is terrible. I’d love it if these films stopped with this installment, but it’s making a lot of money, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Bryan and his family got “taken” again in the near future. Grimm

N O W S H O W I N G AT H O M E Magical Mystery Tour (Blu-ray) APPLE MOVIE BSPECIAL FEATURES B+ BLU-RAY GEEK FACTOR 7.75 (OUT OF 10)

This is, by far, the worst of the Beatles’ five films. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad movie, although critics at the time slaughtered it upon its initial release on BBC. The brainchild of Paul McCartney, the film piles the four Beatles on a bus with some strange people, and sends them on a tour of the countryside. It’s made up largely of improvised, sloppy material. However, it also features some of the most-memorable, enjoyable musical moments the band ever put onscreen. What I like most about this movie is seeing John Lennon having a blast. This film might chronicle the last time Lennon truly had fun on a Beatles project. By the time “The White Album” was released a year later, Lennon seemed a little detached and lethargic. From his funny, exuberant performance for “I Am the Walrus” to his spirited participation during the dance choreography for “Your Mother Should Know,” Lennon is all in, and all smiles. There’s an especially heartwarming sequence during which he blows up a balloon for a kid. There’s also his spaghetti dream, a re-enactment of an actual dream in which Lennon is a waiter shoveling mountains of spaghetti onto somebody’s plate. Stretches of the film don’t work (a running gag involving Ringo and his auntie fails to catch on), but the musical interludes are very much worth picking this up. The film has been scrubbed up nicely, making this quite an advance over VHS copies. SPECIAL FEATURES: A feature commentary from none other than Paul McCartney, who expresses plenty of affection for the movie as it plays out. You also get some song-pro-

mo clips, recent interviews with Paul and Ringo, and a look at the supporting cast.

Little Shop of Horrors: The Director’s Cut (Blu-ray) WARNER MOVIE A SPECIAL FEATURES ABLU-RAY GEEK FACTOR 9 (OUT OF 10)

I’ve always been a fan of this film, Frank Oz’s full-blown musical adaptation of the off-Broadway hit play. Rick Moranis is perfect as Seymour; Ellen Greene is adorable as Audrey; and Steve Martin rules as the sadistic dentist. Best of all is the man-eating plant, Audrey II, an incredible achievement in special effects. Fans of the movie know the original ending was scrapped, because preview audiences found it to be a downer. In that ending, Audrey II eats the two leads, and the plants take over the planet. While I knew about this original ending, I wasn’t aware of how much work went into it. The reshot, happier ending on the theatrical cut was a real copout. The director’s cut contains newly restored original ending in color. (For years, blackand-white footage has been available on YouTube.) The closing scenes are incredible, with huge plants tearing up the streets of Manhattan, attacking the Brooklyn Bridge and ultimately covering the Statue of Liberty. It’s truly great to see the movie the way it was originally intended. As it played out on my TV, I couldn’t believe Oz was persuaded to change the ending in the first place. SPECIAL FEATURES: An older commentary with Oz, who also did a commentary on the original ending when the first DVD was released. (The original footage was on the first DVD as an extra, but the studio recalled all of the copies.) You also get a new interview with Oz talking about the new cut, and an older making-of featurette.

Prometheus: 4-Disc Collector’s Edition (Blu-ray) 20TH CENTURY FOX MOVIE B+ SPECIAL FEATURES A+ BLU-RAY GEEK FACTOR 9.25 (OUT OF 10)

Director Ridley Scott’s return to scifi and, more specifically, the Alien universe is a mind-bending visual treat. Yes, it asks a lot of questions, and some of those questions are left unanswered. Who cares? This is some of the most-provocative sci-fi since Scott’s own Blade Runner unspooled 30 years ago. While there is some argument over whether this is a prequel or not, I insist that it is. I happen to love the whole angle that the aliens from the previous films might have originated as a bio-weapon to destroy Earth. Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are supposedly set to return for another film that promises to answer some of the questions. Hey, I don’t care about cliffhangers when a movie is this exciting and good-looking. SPECIAL FEATURES: This sucker is LOADED. You get a making-of featurette that lasts three hours and 40 minutes and goes into all aspects of the film’s pre- and postproduction. On top of that, there are “enhancement pods” you can access while watching it, thus making the running time even longer. Also, you get the Weyland Corp. Archive, stuffed with art galleries and even some Noomi Rapace screen tests. Toss in commentaries from Scott and the writers, and you have one of the year’s best Blu-rays. Be careful to purchase the fourdisc version and not the twodisc. While the two-disc has some extras, you don’t get the mammoth documentary.

Tucson Food Day I hope we see more celebrations of local food like this upcoming event. Tucson Food Day is much more than just a day; it’s actually a whole week’s worth of activities, including scavenger hunts, dinners, gardening classes and movies about genetically modified foods. There’s even an opportunity to pick your own veggies at the awesome Tucson Village Farm, 4210 N. Campbell Ave. Allow me to climb on my soapbox for a minute to say one thing: America’s current food system is unsustainable and bad for our health, and events like this are the easiest way for us to become part of the solution. It takes place from Sunday, Oct. 21, through Sunday, Oct. 28. There’s more information at www.tucsonfoodday.com.

BY JIMMY BOEGLE, jboegle@tucsonweekly.com hen I reviewed Mr. K’s BBQ nine years ago, I wrote: “Mr. K’S BBQ may be the most unattractive restaurant I have ever eaten at. … Having said that, Mr. K’s BBQ has some of the better barbecue I’ve ever laid my lips on.” Well, a lot has changed since then. A little more than a year ago, Mr. K himself, Charles Kendrick, joined his daughter, Rhonda, and a business partner to open a new Mr. K’s near Tucson Mall. Charles’ son, Ray, did not join Charles and Rhonda in the new venture, and instead soldiered on at that old, ugly Mr. K’s spot on Park Avenue—which was (slightly) renamed the Original Mr. K’s BBQ. Several months ago, Ray moved the Original Mr. K’s several miles south, into a more-spacious, less-cluttered spot on Park just a bit north of Valencia Road. Thankfully, the new spot is a big improvement, comfortwise, over the old one. Wellspaced benches and tables join a TV in the brown-walled, tan-floored space. Decorations are few and far between; some old reviews and honors are posted on the walls, and that’s it. Also, thankfully: The barbecue’s still pretty gosh-darned good. The key is the sauce: Mr. K’s offers one sauce only, a sweet, peppery concoction. If you like it, chances are you’ll like the barbecue, because the meats are tender and juicy across the board—although I was surprised by a lack of flavor in some of the unsauced meats themselves. The menu has changed very little since my 2003 review. Diners have a choice of meat— pork ribs, beef ribs, chicken, sliced pork, beef brisket, hot links or Southern fried catfish— on a plate with some sides ($9.95 to $12.25), or in a sandwich ($6 to $6.50). The sides include Texas beans, candied sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, potato salad, cole slaw and collard/turnip mixed greens ($1.60 separately for 4 ounces; $2.75 for 8). For a dollar extra (or $2.69 separately), seasoned french fries are available, too. Oh, and don’t forget dessert: Peach cobbler ($2.99), pecan pie ($3.49), sweet-potato pie ($2.99) and cheesecake ($3.50 plain; add 50 cents for cherry or blueberry topping) are up for grabs. We tried all of the meats, save the catfish, during our two visits. The ribs were splendid—the meat was falling off the bones and melded well with the sauce. The sliced pork didn’t offer the smokiness I remember from the old Mr. K’s location (I am not sure if my memory is off, or whether something changed), but it was still fantastic, as was the

Another Five Guys Burgers and Fries has opened, bringing the chain’s number of locations in the Tucson area to four. The new one is in the shopping center at the southwest corner of Ina and Thornydale roads. Five Guys got its start in the Washington, D.C., area in 1986 and has spread into a mega-franchise, with more than 1,000 locations. The first Tucson restaurant opened in 2010. I also did more research on the Diablo Burger restaurant going in at 312 E. Congress St. This will be another location for the original Diablo Burger in Flagstaff. The menu bodes well for Tucson hamburger-lovers. Check it out at www.diabloburger.com. The opening of Tucson’s first Smashburger has been moved up to November. The restaurant—which is known for making a very respectable version of the classic hamburger, using top-notch ingredients—will be at 4821 E. Grant Road.

Secret Pulled Pork What’s the big deal about the pulled-pork sandwiches coming out of Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs, 4726 E. Broadway Blvd.? For one thing, the sandwiches are not on the visible menu and are available exclusively as a “secret menu” item. For another, owner Mike O’Toole uses a special dry rub and slow-cooks the meat over pecan wood for 13 hours. The response has been so great that O’Toole is ramping up his O’Toole’s Barbecue catering company, which he operates out of a local commercial commissary. Need some tender meat for an upcoming gathering? O’Toole might be your man. Call 247-5810, or email otoolesbbq@gmail.com for more information.

The Southwest Terror Fest makes its debut this weekend with 32 bands

By Stephen Seigel, musiced@tucsonweekly.com

Stefan George

BY CASEY DEWEY, mailbag@tucsonweekly.com David Rodgers and Dave Carroll hen people think about the Tucson music scene, and the bands that are generally associated with it, it’s a good bet that people aren’t thinking of heavy metal and all of its wide-ranging genres and subgenres. Hopefully, that will change this Friday and Saturday. Thirty-two extreme musical acts from Tucson, the Southwest and all the way to Brooklyn, N.Y., are looking to make their mark when they take over four stages at The Rock for the first Southwest Terror Fest. The fest is the brainchild of two local metal musicians, David Rodgers and Dave “Tacklebox” Carroll. Rodgers is a guitar-player and vocalist for Godhunter, which plays Saturday night. Carroll plays guitar for Diseased Reason, headlining Friday night. Both say this town is long overdue for a gathering of metal tribes. “In between bridge club and macramé, we were bitching about the lack of quality metal shows in this town,” Carroll says. “I don’t think it was even just this town,” Rodgers adds. “I think it’s the whole Southwest region. The only things close to here are (annual fests) Chaos in Tejas and Fun Fun Fun. Those are both in Austin, and that doesn’t really help us out here.” With the recent dissolution of Los Angeles’ annual Murderfest, a three-day festival celebrating all things heavy, hardcore and adventurous, Tucson is, geographically, a ripe staging ground for something similar. “Outside of here, there are not a lot of people who recognize Tucson as a viable market for quality shows,” Carroll says. “(We’re) hoping by doing this fest, we can open up people’s eyes.” Considering the variety of bands playing, opening people’s eyes shouldn’t be a problem. Heavy-metal music isn’t just the faux-Satanic din coming out of your older brother’s fragrant room anymore. It’s been more than 25 years since “The Big Four”—Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth—were arguably in their heyday. Since then, metal has spread its dark wings to cover a slew of disparate genres. Saturday-night headliners Bereft, from Los Angeles, are a tuned-down doom-metal band who sound like they just crawled out of the primordial soup, while Diseased Reason are a brutal, noisier grindcore outfit. “We’ve got power-violence. We’ve got sludge bands and stoner-rock bands. We have a straight-up punk band. We’ve got black metal and death metal,” Rodgers says. “Next year, we’re going to go all out and get the ‘genres within the genres.’ All the bands on the roster

are bands that we’re personally fans of. We just sat down and made a list of bands that we like and started calling them.” “First and foremost, this fest is created by fans, for fans,” Carroll adds. The fest has received sponsorships from a few local businesses. Both Zia Record Exchange and Sticks n’ Strings Music have lent their support, as has the Tucson-based extreme-music record label Acid Reflux. Website metalifestyle.com is sponsoring the second stage, while acclaimed public-relations company Earsplit PR is supporting the main stage. Hipsters, punks, metalheads and purveyors of dirt-cheap beer, take note: Pabst Blue Ribbon is also sponsoring the fest. “I don’t know what it is about this kind of music and PBR that go hand in hand,” Rodgers sheepishly states. The original idea for the fest was to have it take place at two different venues on Fourth Avenue, but that didn’t pan out. “We had the idea of having a fenced-off area or wristbands for underage people, but the way Arizona is set up, it’s just too big of a liability for them to do it,” Rodgers says. “We didn’t want to exclude people under 21, especially with underground music, because a lot of our fans come from that age group. That’s why we went with The Rock, because we could do all ages over there, and have it all enclosed in one area.” Fourth Avenue won’t be entirely excluded, however. The Surly Wench will host a 21-andover pre-party on Thursday, Oct. 18. “That’s going to be a lot of fun,” Carroll says. “Rodgers and I and a couple of dudes from the bands will be DJing some metal and trying to feature as much music from the bands playing the fest as we can. We also have (local band) Wrathgate, who didn’t make it on the fest this

year, playing a short set.” Carroll and Rodgers are both adamant about breaking new ground and providing Tucson metal fans with something fresh and viable—and putting “desert rock” aside for the time being. “The metal scene in Tucson gets absolutely no support whatsoever. Even from you guys, the Tucson Weekly,” Carroll says. “Maybe by us doing this, this will show people Tucson is not all bluegrass and Calexico.” “It’s really funny when everybody talks about the musical diversity that’s supposed to be in Tucson,” Rodgers adds. “It’s like diversity is fine as long as you’re doing it within certain accepted genres they like here. That’s definitely an idea we’re trying to do away with.” Carroll and Rodgers say this DIY fest is truly for the fans, a point they repeat with zest. “There are kids who live on the eastside that don’t even know there are clubs downtown where you can go and listen to heavy music,” Carroll says. “Whereas there are kids downtown who are opposed to going to a venue like The Rock, for whatever reason. Hopefully we can bring all these people together and party. We can all get along and enjoy the music.” Rodgers promises: “It’s not going to be a mess, with people running down the streets and smashing out windows and lighting stuff on fire all weekend.”

Because I’m a member of an international coalition that has sworn off the use of the portmanteau that occurs when one combines “rock” and “October,” this seems like the perfect time to give some other genres their day—or, in this case, week—in the sun. The Southern Arizona Blues Heritage Foundation (SABHF), for one, is making it rather easy: This weekend is its annual Blues and Heritage Festival, as well as the attendant beforeand after-parties. The festival proper takes place at Reid Park’s DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center on Sunday, Oct. 21. The all-day, family-friendly fest begins at 11 a.m. and runs until 7 p.m. Here’s a convenient schedule of performers: Silver Thread Trio (11 a.m.), The AmoSphere (11:55 a.m.), Mitzi Cowell, (12:50 p.m.), Crosscut Saw (1:25 p.m.), Dennis Jones (3 p.m.), Kelley Hunt (4:30 p.m.) and Johnny Faber (6 p.m.) The DeMeester bandshell in Reid Park is located at 900 S. Randolph Way. Admission is $10; those 18 and younger will be admitted for free. No outside food or beverage is permitted. For more information, head to azblues.org. The night before, on Saturday, Oct. 20, Boondocks Lounge—who else?—will host the blues-weekend kickoff party. BluesaPalooza will feature the Wayback Machine holding down the stage from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., and lots of special guests are promised. Admission is $8. Then, on Sunday, after the festival wraps up, Boondocks Lounge will also be the home of the Annual Post-Fest Blues Jam, which will also be hosted by the Wayback Machine. The event begins at 7 p.m., but expect it to really get cookin’ once festival attendees make their way from Reid Park. Admission is free. Boondocks Lounge is located at 3306 N. First Ave. For information on the Boondocks events, check out boondockslounge.com, or call 690-0991.

HONORING STEFAN It seems a little odd that this next event overlaps with BluesaPalooza—though intrepid fans can probably make it to both. Stefan George—the local musician who is perhaps best known for his country-blues music, but who has performed everything from world beat to rock, electric blues to folk—will celebrate 30 years of making music in Tucson on Saturday night. You’ve likely seen George perform around town at some point, but just in case you’re unfamiliar, the guy’s a Tucson treasure, and he’s got the accolades to prove it: He’s a Tucson Area Music Awards winner in multiple categories and has been inducted into the Tucson Music Hall of Fame, the Tucson Musicians Museum and the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame, of which he’s

SOUNDBITES CONTINUED currently the president. The 30th Anniversary Celebration of Stefan George begins at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 20, at La Cocina, with an opening set of George playing slide-guitar blues. After that, Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new band, The Ditchridersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which also includes Jay Trapp on bass, Neil Harry on pedal steel, Gary Mackender on accordion and Lavinia White on vocalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;will perform two sets. The Ditchriders are said to be a vehicle for a new batch of Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original tunes in a twangy, border country mode. If you attend the show, be sure to wish Stefan a happy birthday: He turns 60 on Saturday. La Cocina is located at 201 N. Court Ave. Admission is free. For further details, head to lacocinatucson.com, or call 622-0351.

A FATHER OF BRITISH BLUES While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the topic of the blues, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be remiss if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention that John Mayall, the guitarist who helped kick-start the British blues invasion of the 1960s, will head into town for a show on Friday, Oct. 19, at the Fox Tucson Theatre. As the founder of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, the guitarist saw the likes of future superstars Eric Clapton, Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), and Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones) pass through his ranks. The show begins at 7:30 p.m., and the Fox Tucson Theatre is located at 17 W. Congress St. Advance tickets are $27 to $52, and are available at foxtucsontheatre.org or by calling 547-3040. Use the same info for more information.

JAZZ VARIETY Continuing in a non-rock vein, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a pair of nifty (yes, I just said â&#x20AC;&#x153;niftyâ&#x20AC;?) jazz events taking place this weekend. There are only two weeks left in the Tucson Jazz Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (TJS) annual Jazz Under the Stars series, and this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event looks to be quite a humdinger. (Yes, I just said â&#x20AC;&#x153;humdinger.â&#x20AC;?) The show is called Cool and Hot, and according to the TJSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandy Riser, will bring together â&#x20AC;&#x153;both traditional jazz and a completely new concept in jazz music.â&#x20AC;? Cool and Hot will be divided into two distinct sections. The first half of the night will feature the incredibly gifted guitarist Matt Mitchell performing with one of his many bands, the Hot Club of Tucson, which, as you can probably tell from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, performs jazz in the style of Django Reinhardt. In addition to Mitchell, the band features Kelland Thomas on alto saxophone, and Evan Dain on the upright bass. The second half of the night will be devoted to something truly unusual: steel-drum jazz courtesy of Eric Hines and Pan Dulce. According to a press release from the TJS, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The transcendent sound of the pan is associated with the laid-back style of Jamaican music, but in Hinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands, it is like the searing saxophone solos of Sonny Rollins.â&#x20AC;? Consider my curiosity piqued. The band also includes a trio of percussionistsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Danny Brito, Aaron Szabo and Robin Hornâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as keyboardist Sly Slipetsky, Brian Hicks on tenor sax, bassist Mark Usvolk and a return guest appearance by Matt Mitchell.

THE CHURCH OF JAZZ The other noteworthy jazz event I referred to above is not exactly a concert. Each year in October, St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church presents an annual Jazz Sunday service in which, according to a press release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the elements of traditional liturgy are played and sung in jazz.â&#x20AC;? The intent, according to the Rev. Mike Smith, who will play drums at the service, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is to connect the worshipers to God and each other through the range of emotions jazz evokes.â&#x20AC;? In addition to Smith, the service will feature Lisa Otey (piano and vocals), Diane Van Deurzen (vocals), Rob Boone (trombone), John Snavely (clarinet) and Mike Levy (bass). Jazz Sunday begins at 11 a.m., Sunday, Oct. 21, and St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is located at 3809 E. Third St. All are welcome, as according to that press release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a More Light Church, which stands for equal rights for all Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, regardless of sexual orientation, race, religious view or any other human condition.â&#x20AC;?

MUSIC The Sleigh Bells continue to explore the relationship between noise and melody

Sleigh gh Bells

From Familiar to Fresh

TOP TEN Zia Records’ top sales for the week ending Oct. 14, 2012

BY GENE ARMSTRONG, garmstrong@tucsonweekly.com lexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells—the experimental pop duo from Brooklyn who combine aggressive guitars, bubblegum-sweet vocals and pummeling electronic beats—says her band is polarizing for many reasons. “I guess the first thing is the volume,” she says. “Our live shows are very loud, and we want you to feel the music, and there are strobe lights and lots of dancing and shouting. Our music doesn’t really have subtleties. It can all be pretty overwhelming.” But if you can appreciate Sleigh Bells’ meticulously constructed wall of noise, which many listeners find irresistible, you can discover in it compositional sophistication and emotional catharsis. Krauss’ musical partner in Sleigh Bells is guitarist and producer Derek Miller, formerly of the band Poison the Well, a popular proponent of punk and metalcore during the early 2000s. Miller left that band because of creative differences—“He felt trapped by the formulaic approach of hardcore,” Krauss explains—and was working in New York in 2008 while looking for a female vocalist to help him capture the new sounds bouncing around in his head. He met Krauss, a former Spanish teacher, while serving her in a restaurant, and they hit it off. Krauss had a background in television and theater. Like Miller, she’d also endured a lessthan-satisfying musical experience—as a teenager, she was in a pre-fab teen pop group called RubyBlue—that left her disillusioned with the music business. “I don’t think I would be pursuing music if I hadn’t met Derek,” she says. “If you find the right person, who helps you focus your energy and talent in the right direction, it makes all the difference. Us working together brought

back my interest in music, which I wasn’t sure I had anymore.” Sleigh Bells allows Krauss and Miller to exercise their shared, but varied, musical interests. “We have a lot of sounds we try to fit into our music,” Krauss says, “pop songs, punk, girl groups of the 1960s, electronic and hip-hop, experimental stuff. And on the new album, we tried to explore more of the arena-rock realm, like Def Leppard, but also had stuff like the Cranberries in mind, too. “Obviously, we’re a band that utilizes a lot of technology. There are live vocals and live guitar, but also lots of electronics, such as synth pads and different drum-machine sounds,” she says. “We like the variety we can get from using different effects and programs.” That modest description doesn’t take into account the power of Sleigh Bells’ music to transform familiar elements into something fresh. On Sleigh Bells’ walloping 2010 debut album, Treats, songs such as “Kids,” “Rill Rill,” “Crown on the Ground” and “A/B Machines” combined electronic sound beds with Miller’s post-punk and heavy-metal guitar licks, and Krauss’ magnetic vocals. The results sounded immediately and shockingly contemporary. With this year’s follow-up, Reign of Terror, they further explore the relationship between noise and melody, leavening a monstrous guitar assault with infectious melodies. Jackhammering drum machines and burbling electronics tilt and twist the sound like an Escher drawing. Krauss croons and trills and chants and shouts like a mutant-punk cheerleader. Krauss says Sleigh Bells already have recorded three songs for their third album, which is tentatively scheduled to be released in 2013. Although they’re headlining their current tour of theaters, Sleigh Bells recently came off a

stint on the road, opening in arenas for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Krauss says the Chili Peppers couldn’t have treated them any better. “That operation is run so beautifully; they really know what they are doing. The band members were extremely gracious and genuine, and they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.” When it came time for her and Miller to determine an opener for their tour, they chose carefully. AraabMuzik is the producing and performing name of Abraham Orellana, a hiphop and EDM artist born in Providence, R.I., who is half-Dominican and half-Guatemalan. AraabMuzik performs on the MPC, a computer that can be used as both drum machine and sampler. Krauss says Orellana is a virtuoso on his chosen instrument. “His live sets on the MPC show a degree of mastery that have made some people compare him to Mozart,” she says. “His sound is very unique and interesting. Sonically, it’s very compatible with what we do.” Must be. In honor of their tour together, AraabMusik recently remixed several Sleigh Bells tunes, which are being released online.

NINE QUESTIONS Fook Fook, the morningshow host at KFMA FM 92.1/101.3, moved to Tucson last year from Chicago, where he was a DJ for Q101. Ever since, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been waking up KFMA fans with sarcasm and hilarity. Annie Holub, aholub@tucsonweekly.com

What was the first concert you attended? Public Enemy with Neil Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at the time, what I thought was the most-bizarre pairing ever, until I discovered Cool Ranch Doritos and mushrooms. What are you listening to these days? I always listen to a lot of reggae and Fun Lovinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Criminals, but recently Awolnation, Metric and 2 Chainz. What was the first album you owned? Billy Joelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Glass Housesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I was about 7 and was simply attracted to white men with Afros, i.e., father figures. What artist, genre or musical trend does everyone seem to love, but you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get? Dubstep. See Key and Peeleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest skit to know my exact feelings on it. What musical act, current or defunct, would you most like to see perform live? Easy, and it fits both categories: Guns Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Roses. Musically speaking, what is your favorite guilty pleasure? Eh, I have very little musical guilt. I have so much actual life guilt to contend with that I simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time. In that vein: Please let it go, Nickelback-haters. Seriously, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dressed up like clowns and eaten people. Save your rage for shit that really matters. What song would you like to have played at your funeral? Christopher Cross, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sailing,â&#x20AC;? and then into â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Imperial Marchâ&#x20AC;? for the dirt-throwing. What band or artist changed your life, and how? Strangely enough, Radiohead. I was on the air, protesting a bad call by the Chicago City Council to not let them play at a park in town, and I organized a moon-in. The moon-in was busted by squad cars, cops on horses and paddy wagons. Therefore, we did not moon. Biggest regret/failure/success of my career. Figurative gun to your head, what is your favorite album of all time? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an unfair question, but Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boutique.

THE DISTRICT TAVERN Friday, Oct. 12 Tucsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Go Nowhere! Booking has recently brought some great underground rock bands to town, many of them signed to Burger Records, a California-based label that specializes in recordings on cassette. All three bands at this show happen to be working with Burger. Pop Zeus is the name under which Mikey Hodges, from Brooklyn, N.Y., records his catchy, Replacements-influenced pop-punk. While his recordings feature him playing all of the instruments, his live band consists of Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tough Shits, his tour mates. Hodges led the band through one ragged raveup after another. Stylistically, Pop Zeus split the difference between â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s Guided by Voices and mid-period Replacementsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;until there was no difference at all. All four Tough Shits got back onstage for their set, which continued the celebratory atmosphere that Pop Zeus had begun. The Tough Shits played some visceral proto-punk, in the lineage of the New York Dolls and the MC5. But there was no grand statement being made in their music; they simply performed their songs, unlike their forebears, as fun rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. When their lead singer jumped into the audience, it was so innocent and unthreatening that the band might as well have been the Stooges, if Iggy Pop were a friendly Muppet. The Tough Shitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; childlike enthusiasm was infectious, indeed. Performing his first new music in a few years, ex-Los Federales and Knockout Pills member Travis Spillers debuted his latest project, the Freezing Hands. You could say that a particular song sounds like whomever, or that another song sounds like whatever, but that would be missing the point: Spillersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; songs were so jovial and happy that musical-genre identification would be a waste of enjoyment. Each song may have sounded different, but they felt the same, like happy memories from long agoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the AM radio pop hits you heard on summer road trips when you were a child. The Freezing Handsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; songs, from their upcoming Burger Records cassette, negated punk rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nihilism by sounding like a party to which everyone was invited. And that made the Freezing Hands one of a kind. Welcome back, Travis. Joshua Levine mailbag@tucsonweekly.com

RHYTHM & VIEWS Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers

Bowerbirds

Perfume Genius

The Clearing

Put Your Back N 2 It

Driftwood

DEAD OCEANS

MATADOR

Soul, country and classic hippie-rock all mix together in this immediately likable album from San Francisco’s Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers. Bluhm’s vocals shine—a honeyed blend of Linda Ronstadt, Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt—while the band expertly navigates its way around laid-back oldies, groovy jams, barroom raveups and even hootenannies. Driftwood might be a history lesson in other hands, but it’s fresh and filled with good vibes here. To start with, the Gramblers—guitarists Deren Ney and Dave Mulligan, drummer Mike Curry, bassist Steve Adams, and Bluhm’s multi-instrumentalist husband, Tim (of the Mother Hips)—are a crack band that know how to give roots music a modern touch. “Carousel” starts things off with a comfortably swaying tempo, and with acoustic guitars framing Bluhm’s nostalgic tribute to vinyl records. The band gives Doug Sahm’s “I Wanna Be Your Mama Again” a glorious countryblues big-band treatment. “Kill You to Call” is pure blue-eyed country soul, with Bluhm wringing all she can from the heartsick lyrics, sickly sweet lead guitar lines and softly whistling organ fills. Then it’s all topped off with a swell of horns. Driftwood—originally a 2011 self-release that was reissued in July—has plenty of California sunshine, but Bluhm and company know their way around some minor-key yearning as well. Eric Swedlund

Bowerbirds’ third album is like a table that’s been reset from a simple homemade breakfast to an elegant dinner. The band’s raw talent and charm shine through, untouched, yet there’s a clear upgrade that goes beyond any cosmetic change. Lush production and arrangements do more on The Clearing than boost the song presentation; they give the Bowerbirds a higher plane to shoot for in terms of songwriting. The shifts within the songs are fantastic—they swell with strings and horns, turning on a dime back to a simple finger-picked nylon guitar. There are electric guitars and booming drums and piano and more, but there’s never any jumble. Given so much more to work with, Phil Moore and Beth Tacular deliver a tight and professional sound, never too much, never too little. Opener “Tuck the Darkness In” exemplifies the album’s supple arrangements: Why make a song quiet or loud when it can be both? The crescendoing outro never compromises the song’s basic melody or structure. “Walk the Furrows” and “Stitch the Hem” are both complex and shifting songs wrapped around simple cores, celebrating the rustic, closeto-the-Earth domesticity that Phil and Beth embrace. On The Clearing, Bowerbirds have managed to leave behind a good deal of their quiet woods-iness, without altering the band’s fundamental essence. Their songs live so well with a bit more color. Eric Swedlund

After an impressive debut, Learning, Seattle’s Mike Hadreas returns with the excellent Put Your Back N 2 It. It’s an album that locates power in fragility and tenderness in dissonance, and—for a tight 32 minutes—remains stunningly potent. Hadreas spins sad and redemptive songs in purposefully oblique fashion. Closer “Sister Song,” balanced on a plinking, wintery piano figure, could easily serve as a eulogy, rather than the invocation for someone suffering that it seems to be: “Drive on / Drive on / My special one / Don’t you stop ’til you know you’re gone.” Meanwhile, the cryptic lyrics of opener “AWOL Marine” (“If you want your medicine / Show me”) swirl in a hazy, dissonant atmosphere. Hadreas’ sexuality—he is openly gay—provides a significant context to both his subject matter and musical approach. The occasionally abject misery at the heart of Learning is overwritten by confidence on Put Your Back N 2 It. Take the marching, lock-step grooving in “Take Me Home,” which embraces both comfort and surrender in coupling. Meanwhile, the cacophonous growl of “Dark Parts” gives way to a plaintive piano and Hadreas’ reassurances: “I will take the dark part / Of your heart into my heart.” Hadreas is an apt purveyor of dark, lush chamber pop. Ultimately, he presents listeners with a difficult, spirited album of immense beauty and insight. Michael Petitti

MEDICAL MJ A federal court hears a case that could lead to marijuana being classified as having medical value

Not Quite as Controlled? BY J.M. SMITH, jsmith@tucsonweekly.com he lawyers are at it again, shoving legal briefs and filings and arguments down each other’s throats and generally trying to rip new assholes in each other for the benefit of all mankind. This time, I am referring to a federal case brought by Americans for Safe Access (safeaccessnow.org), a medical-marijuanaadvocacy group that has been fighting for more than 10 years to get cannabis removed from Schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act. The lawyers at ASA think the Drug Enforcement Administration made a mistake last year when it rejected a bid to reschedule cannabis. Way back in 2002, ASA asked the feds to downgrade marijuana, based on the opinions of many, many doctors and scientists who think it has medical value. (Schedule I is reserved for drugs with no medical merit.) The case dragged in the hallowed halls of the DEA until last year, when the agency rejected the request, citing a federal study that found no consensus among medical professionals that marijuana is medically effective. ASA then asked the 12 judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals’ D.C. circuit to review the decision, claiming consensus is unnecessary. Lawyers for ASA claim the feds need only consider whether marijuana is “accepted by qualified experts,” according to an analysis at FindLaw.com. Opening arguments took place this week. If the appeals court agrees with ASA, the DEA would seemingly be forced to reschedule marijuana. There may not be a consensus, but there are certainly hundreds of qualified experts who agree MMJ works. The Wall Street Journal checked around, and it seems the American College of Physicians, American Medical Association and American Nurses Association think the stuff has medical value. These people are qualified experts. Donald Abrams, chief of hematology-oncology at San

Francisco General Hospital, is a qualified expert, too. He uses cannabis to treat cancer and HIV patients. “In my practice every day as a cancer specialist, I see patients who have loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting from their chemotherapy, pain on and off of opiates, anxiety, depression, and insomnia,” Abrams said, according to an ASA news release, adding that all can be relieved with cannabis. Americans for Safe Access v. Drug Enforcement Administration could prove to be a landmark case, possibly the straw that breaks the federal camel’s back. It could spark a cascade of events leading to a loosening of the federal marijuana choke chain. “What’s at stake in this case is nothing less than our country’s scientific integrity and the imminent needs of millions of patients,” said ASA chief counsel Joe Elford, who argued the case. The folks at ASA aren’t the only ones seeking reclassification. Last November, the governors of Washington, Rhode Island and Vermont asked the feds to reschedule marijuana to Schedule II, which is reserved for drugs with medical value. Also last November, the state of Colorado also officially asked the feds to reschedule marijuana. That half-hearted request was required by a voter-passed initiative in 2010. Those requests are pending action, and if history is a guide, it will be years before the DEA makes a decision. But I say “no thank you” to rescheduling MMJ. I prefer to get my herbal remedies from herbalists, not pharmacists. Putting marijuana on Schedule II would only make matters worse. I do not want to fight past people in white smocks any more than I want to fight past the Men in Blue to get my meds. So cross your fingers. The arguments are argued and filings filed. Now we just wait for a decision from the lofty halls of justice in the Second Highest Court in the Land. Relax. The lawyers are on the case.

Touchtone phone required. ARIES (March 21-April 19): When Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro laid waste to Peru in 1532, his soldiers found green stones on the land. Were they emeralds? A priest who was traveling with them gave them bad advice. He said that the way to determine whether they were merely colored glass or were precious gems was to test their hardness by pounding them with hammers. In this manner, many actual emeralds were shattered into fragments. Learn from this mistake, Aries. Make sure you recognize treasures for what they are, and don’t force them to submit to unwise tests that misconstrue their true nature.

messages were too interesting for my own good. You gave me too many answers to questions I’ve had for too many years. I felt like I was being cured of problems I didn’t even know I had. Many hours went by until finally I was able to pull myself out of the vortex. How did this happen? —Freaked Out. Dear Freaked: I was born under the sign of Cancer the Crab, and it so happens that the people of my tribe are currently emanating an intriguing and inscrutable aura. We’re at the peak of our ability to attract and seduce. Many of us are using our power benevolently, but our mysterious mojo could still be a bit unsettling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone at Reddit.com posted a question to the community: Could anyone help him re-create the aroma of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland? He said he loved that smell. It was a blend of damp earth, rotting wood and gunpowder. It had musty overtones, a hint of chlorine and a tantalizing freshness. If only he could get that fragrance to permeate his house, he testified, he’d always be able to work at peak efficiency. You might want to follow his lead, Taurus. It’s a good time to identify and gather all the ingredients you would need to make sure your environment inspires you to the max.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The past is headed your way bearing gifts, Leo. I recommend that you make yourself available for its blessings, which may be delivered to you in unexpected ways. For example: The spirit of a dead loved one could impart an enigmatic but useful tip in the middle of the night. An abandoned dream you assumed was gone forever might return from limbo to grant you a wish. A favor you did for someone long ago could finally be repaid. Are you ready to let history reward you in its own unique style?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you asked me to be your personal adviser, I would prescribe supplements and herbs to build up your immune system. I’d insist that you eat nothing but healthy food and get at least eight hours of sleep every night. I’d suggest that you meditate daily on images that symbolize your most-inspiring desires. For fun, I might even advise you to do a ritual in which you create a big circle around yourself using violet yarn and then do a series of playful acts to pump up your freedom, like dancing as wildly as you know how, and chanting “love is my creator.” Finally, Gemini, if you sought my counsel, I’d urge you to use your exuberant imagination in concert with your disciplined intellect as you design a long-term plan to charge up your well-being. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Dear Free Will Astrologer: I found your website by accident today and was drawn in fast and hard. No matter what I did, I could not escape and get back to my work. Your

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Just for you, it is Shark Week. During this dicey holiday, you should be wary of all sharks, especially the kind that look like human beings. Don’t get in their way, and don’t underestimate them. On the other hand, I’m not opposed to you getting to know some sharks better. They could teach you some valuable lessons on how to get what you want. Not that you would ever be as coldblooded and predatory as they are, of course. But it might be energizing to your ambitions if you add just a bit of sharklike thinking to your repertoire. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Visualize yourself heading out on a high adventure with interesting people—all the while being distracted by the memory of a trivial insult you experienced earlier that day. Picture yourself getting intimate with a lover who inspires you to lose your self-consciousness—up until the point when you decide to interrupt your fun by answering a phone call from some random person. Imagine toning yourself down and holding yourself back because of misplaced politeness, unnecessary guilt or delusional fear—even

though you’re feeling a rushing instinct to surge and soar and overflow. Finally, Libra, understand that in getting you to envision these parodies of your current inclinations, I’m hoping to shock you into making sure that nothing like them happens. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometime soon, you may dream of being naked at a public event like a class at school or a committee meeting. I think this would be an excellent omen, so I hope it comes to pass. It would signify that you’re ready to shed the disguises that have been making it problematical for you to reinvent yourself. Who is the New You? Stripping down to the bare essentials in your dreams will help you see raw truths about your waking life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As you cross the great water in search of the unknown treasure, navigate by the light of the clouds. That’s your dreamy oracle, Sagittarius. What does it mean? Well, the work you do to figure it out is essential to activating its potential, so I don’t want to give away too much. But here are three further hints to inspire you on your quest.

1. Be willing to go a long way to find a secret you don’t even know you’re looking for. 2. Consider the possibility of cultivating faith in a goal that you don’t quite yet grasp in its entirety. 3. Rely on shadows and reflections to give you accurate information you can’t get directly from the thing that’s casting shadows and being reflected. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Everyone has some kind of power. What’s yours? In the coming days, I suspect there will be some crisis and opportunity regarding how you use it. Maybe you will be invited to assume more authority or exercise greater influence. Maybe your ability to wield your particular clout will be questioned or doubted, and you will be challenged to either stand up and express it with more integrity and purpose, or relinquish it. For best results, take a moment right now to visualize the precise power you would love to command. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Dear Rob: I really enjoy reading your horoscopes. You feel like a friend I’ve never met. When I try to picture what you’re like, I keep get-

ting a vision of you as being fat, short and bald with a strawberry blond moustache. Am I right? —Curious Aquarius. Dear Curious: It’s great that you’ve decided to do a reality check. This is an excellent time for all you Aquarians to see if what you imagine to be true is a match for the world as it actually is. To answer your question, I am, in fact, tall and thin, don’t wear a moustache and have an abundance of long silver hair. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve got just the right message to set the tone for you in the weeks ahead. It comes from writer H.P. Lovecraft, and captures the essence of your astrological omens. “Pleasure to me is wonder,” said Lovecraft. “It’s the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty.” Now get out there, Pisces, and gather up all the mysterious marvels you have coming to you—all the bracing encounters with uncanny grace.

¡ASK A MEXICAN! BY GUSTAVO ARELLANO, themexican@askamexican.net Dear Mexican: As a college-educated Mexican American, I had my fair share of Chicanas in college … all of which my jefita considered putas with books. But now that I graduated, I’m going out with a gabacha for the first time. She’s nice, bilingual, tall, skinny, educated and a liberal with liberal gabacho parents, so they accept my brownness. I finally found a woman that doesn’t want to control me a su manera or hacerme pendejo, and my jefita is STILL against it. How can I get my jefa to accept my lil’ snow bunny? Coco Deez Nuts Dear Gabacho: ALL Mexican moms are going to initially consider ANY mujer who’s going out with their son a puta—it’s that whole Madonna/whore complex that continues to sully Mexican feminine relations. But the good thing with mamis is that they’re ultimately looking out for their mijo—and if any woman is going to be their eventual nuera, they’d better be a good one (you should’ve seen the desmadre my madre put my mick gal through after she quebro my heart, yet wanted to get back with me), and her son better be in the right state of mind to settle down rather than put said woman through cheating hell. You obviously didn’t care for those Chicanas as anything else than butt sluts, and your mother knew that—hence the hate. And the fact that you’re calling your current chica a “snow bunny” is further proof you’re not ready to settle down—hence the hate. But trust me: Your mother will sense the moment you’re ready to be serious, and will then subject your beloved to a lifetime of suegra pettiness. I’m a Spanish teacher for young children. I’ve seen a white lacey headdress called a huipil, and I have also seen a type of colorful blouse called a huipil. Which is it? La Maestra Gabacha Dear Gabacha Teacher: We’re hablando about two different clothing items here. The “lacey headdress” you’re referring to is the resplandor, and it’s native to the state of Oaxaca, specifically to the Zapotec tribe, and specifically to the tehuanas, the legendary women who pertain to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and even more

speciﬁcally to the women vendors of Santo Domingo Tehuantepec. They’re renowned for their morena beauty, independence and colorful sartorial stylings. (Related aside, gentle readers: do yourself a favor, and YouTube the song “Tehuantepec”—it’s the most-famous song of the son istmeño genre native to the region and is the equivalent of “Girl From the North Country” on marimba.) Frida Kahlo made the resplandor famous in her 1948 self-portrait, highlighting the headdress’ frilly awesomeness. The huipil, on el other hand, is the default blouse of central and southern Mexico and Guatemala since before the Conquest, the colorful counterpart to the suave guayabera. Unfortunately, the huipil has been cheapened by Mexican restaurants that make their female workers dress in cheaply made versions and by gabachas who went backpacking and think that wearing them at rallies confers authenticity. Doesn’t matter: A huipil makes any woman who wears it into an automatic goddess—I mean, more so than usual. But the woman who can pull oﬀ the resplandor ain’t just a goddess—she’s heaven incarnate. In other words, a tehuana. Ask the Mexican at themexican@askamexican. net; be his fan on Facebook; follow him on Twitter @gustavoarellano; or ask him a video question at youtube.com/askamexicano!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pro-choice. The anti-choice positionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;particularly the dumb contention that â&#x20AC;&#x153;personhoodâ&#x20AC;? begins when sperm hits eggâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is illogical and unappealing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the most unappealing quality I can think of in a partner, thoughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that would probably be dishonesty. Your advice last week to the young woman who discovered that her boyfriend is anti-choice was terrible. You advised LIFE to tell her boyfriend that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregnant in order to see if that changes his position. If a woman told me she was against abortion in all circumstances, I would think twice about dating her. If she told me she was pregnant and asked me to support the child, and then told me that she was just seeing how I would react, I would dump her. Vasectomy In Montana

Pretty much everyone on Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warming earthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; pro-choice and anti-choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thought my advice for LIFE sucked monkey ass. In my defense, I did give LIFE the option of discussing an unplanned pregnancy as a hypothetical. And even if LIFE did opt to lieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;my clear preferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend for LIFE to drag the lie out for weeks or months. I was thinking 30 minutes, tops. My fault for not including a clear </lie> in my response. So what was I thinking? Basically, this: Conservatives tend to change their positions on specific â&#x20AC;&#x153;controversialâ&#x20AC;? social issues when â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;? happens to them. Nancy Reagan came out for stem-cell research after her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. Rush Limbaugh came out for treatment over incarceration for drug offenders after he got caught with his hand in the Oxycontin jar. Dick Cheney came out for marriage equality after his daughter came out as a lesbian. Likewise, a lot of conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;male and femaleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are anti-choice until an unplanned pregnancy happens to them. Access to safe and legal abortion services becomes important when â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;? happens to them. (Sometimes the cure doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick. Scott DesJarlais, for example, is a rabidly prolife member of Congress from Tennessee. But back in 2000, when he was working as a doctor, he pressured his mistress, who was also his patient, to get an abortion in an effort to save his failing marriage. As a member of Congress, DesJarlais opposes abortion in all cases, without exception â&#x20AC;Ś unless â&#x20AC;&#x153;it,â&#x20AC;? i.e., an unplanned pregnancy, happens to him.) This inability to empathizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;this refusal to imagine what it might be like to have an ill relative or a drug problem or a gay child or an unplanned pregnancyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is a defining characteristic of modern conservatism. But my plan to instill a little empathy in LIFEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend was itself lacking in empathy. LIFEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend might have been traumatized by the lieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not just by the lie itself, but by the violation of trust. So my advice wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just bad; it was hypocritical. Mea culpa. Would an anti-choice position still be a deal-breaker for you, Dan, if you had the penis, and your opposed-to-abortion partner had the vagina? Pro-Choice Myself The right to control your own body is a bedrock value for meâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;male, female, gay, straight, sex workers, responsible drug users, etc.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;but my hypothetical girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-abortion position would only be a deal-breaker if she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the right of other women to make their own choices. Allow me to un-prettify that: If my hypothetical girlfriend believed that the state should have the power to force a woman to give birth against her will, if she wanted to see doctors thrown in prison for performing abortions, if she believed every miscarriage should be treated like potential homicide, that would be a deal-breaker. But yes, PCM, I could see myself dating a woman who was personally but not politically opposed to abortion. I would only fuck her in the ass, however, to avoid becoming a father against my will.

Your response to LIFE was horrible. Flat-out lie, and see what response you get? How about having a frank discussion to see how he really feels about abortion? I hope LIFE was smart enough to disregard your idiotic â&#x20AC;&#x153;advice.â&#x20AC;? Offended You and everyone else who were worried that LIFE might actually take my idiotic advice will be delighted to hear that she did not â&#x20AC;Ś I was happy to see my letter in your column. After I wrote you, I had a long conversation with my boyfriend. When I asked what we should do if I was pregnantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;something all sexually active couples should talk aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he said he would want me to give it up for adoption or keep it (with the help of child-support payments from him), but that I could have an abortion since â&#x20AC;&#x153;the letter of the law was on my side.â&#x20AC;? (We live in Canada, for which I am eternally grateful.) After a couple days of thinking about it, I reopened the discussion. You hit the nail on the head when you said this was about equality and respect. Even though he claimed he respected me, he admitted that he would ban abortion if he could, essentially arguing that I am less capable of understanding what pregnancy means and the effect it would have on my life than he is. I broke up with him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing to thank you for giving me the boost I needed and to calm the nerves of the commentators who really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the lie-about-pregnancy suggestion. Love Is Finding Errors Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad your anti-choice boyfriend is now your anti-choice ex, LIFE, and your letter is a good reminder to everyone who reads my column or any other advice slingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x153;advice,â&#x20AC;? not â&#x20AC;&#x153;binding arbitration,â&#x20AC;? for a good reason. The people who ask me for advice are free to make up their own minds. And I actively encourage everyone whose letter appears in the column to lurk in the comments online and see what you, my readers, have to say. Because, you know, sometimes your advice is better than mine. Finally, a word to all the anti-choice men out there who were so hurt that I told their girlfriendsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;imaginary in many instancesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to dump them: If you oppose abortion because you believe that â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexual choices should have consequences,â&#x20AC;? as more than one of you stated (was there a form letter circulating?), then you should be able to wrap your heads around this: Political choices have consequences, too. You can choose to be anti-choice, and women can choose not to date you. Consequences! Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just for women anymore! Your response to My Friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kinky Son struck a chord with me. When I was a preschool kid, my evangelical next-door neighbor presented me with a magnificently illustrated Bibleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which I still have. The only part of that Bible that piqued my interest was a graphic image of the Israelites in bondage in Egypt: lots of sweat, whipping and blood. I was excited by this image, Dan, and I was only 4 years old! By the time I was a teenager, I was collecting bondage porn (magazines back in those days) and crafting my own bondage gear. Inevitably, my prying mother found my kinky stash. Much shaming and lecturing ensued. It made not a bit of difference: I just got better at hiding my stash. Being berated for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual preferences by your parents as a child is probably an inevitable part of having BDSM tastes, just as it is for a lot of gay people, but it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;changeâ&#x20AC;? someone.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Send your Weird News to Chuck Shepherd, PO Box 18737, Tampa, Fla., 33679 weirdnews@earthlink.net or go to www.newsoftheweird.com

Modern Warfare China, Japan and Taiwan each claim ownership of the uninhabited South China Sea islands of Senkaku or Diaoyu, and the controversy heightened in September when Japan announced that it had formally â&#x20AC;&#x153;purchasedâ&#x20AC;? the islands from a private company that reputedly owned them. China countered by â&#x20AC;&#x153;launchingâ&#x20AC;? its first-ever aircraft carrier (a vessel junked in 1998 by Ukraine), which it hopes will intimidate its neighbors, even though it is useless to planes. Days later, patrol boats from Taiwan and Japan had a confrontation near the islandsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;drenching each other in a military-grade squirt-gun fight. (Japan won.) Compelling Explanations â&#x20AC;˘ A 14-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition in Churchill, Pa., in August, after allegedly swiping a Jeep Grand Cherokee and leading the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend on a brief highspeed chase before rolling the Cherokee over on Interstate 376. The boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, according to WTAE-TV, blamed the Cherokeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner: A vehicle with the keys in it, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;was an opportunity that, in a 14-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, was â&#x20AC;Ś the perfect moment.â&#x20AC;? Also, she said, the boyfriend â&#x20AC;&#x153;had no right to chase my son.â&#x20AC;? The boy â&#x20AC;&#x153;could have just (wanted) a joyride down the street. Maybe he (merely) wanted to go farther than he felt like walking.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Irresistible: (1) David Thompson, 27, was arrested in August and charged with stealing a bag of marijuana from the Charleroi (Pa.) Regional police station. While talking to an officer about an unrelated case, Thompson noticed an evidence bag on a counter and swiped it. Caught moments later, Thompson profusely apologized, telling the officer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help myself. That bud smelled so good.â&#x20AC;? (2) Aaron Morris was charged in August with battery in North Lauderdale, Fla., for groping the buttocks of a woman at a Walmart. According to the arresting officer, Morris explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her booty looked so good, I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist touching it.â&#x20AC;? Perspective First World problems: (1) Ohio death-row inmate Ronald Post, 53, asked a federal court in September to cancel his January date with destiny on the grounds that, despite almost 30 years of prison food, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still too fat to execute. At 480 pounds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;vein accessâ&#x20AC;? and other issues would cause his lethal injection to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;torturous.â&#x20AC;? (2) British murderer-sadist Graham Fisher, 39, is locked up in a high-security hospital in Berkshire, England, but he, too, has been eating well (at about 325 pounds). In August, he was approved for gastric-band surgery paid for by Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Health Service at an estimated cost, including a private room for post-op recuperation, of about $25,000. Ironies â&#x20AC;˘ Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti was hospitalized in the town of Shahmirzad in September, allegedly after being roughed up by

a woman. According to Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mehr news agency, the cleric was merely performing his â&#x20AC;&#x153;duty,â&#x20AC;? warning an allegedly immodestly dressed woman to cover herself better. She suggested, instead, that he should â&#x20AC;&#x153;cover (his) eyes,â&#x20AC;? and when he continued admonishing her, she pushed him away and kicked him. â&#x20AC;˘ Arrested in September and charged with aggravated indecent exposure (making continued obscene gestures to female kayakers on Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pinnebog River while nude): 60-year-old TV producer William H. Masters IIIâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the son of pioneer 1960s sex researcher William Masters (who, with Virginia Johnson, wrote the landmark books Human Sexual Response and Human Sexual Inadequacy). â&#x20AC;˘ In August, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Gerber Legendary Blades company of Portland, Ore., announced a recall of Gerber machetes. According to CPSC, the machetes might have a defect that could cause the handle to break, making the machete, said CPSC, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;laceration hazard.â&#x20AC;? Democracy in Action! â&#x20AC;˘ Challenging races: (1) Richard Wagner Jones, running for a school-board seat in Granite, Utah, told reporters in June that since the job is mainly about taxes and budgets, he would not have to make site visits to schools. That is fortunate, for Jones is barred from schools as a registered sex offender based on a 1990 conviction. (2) Mike Rios, a former school-board member in Moreno Valley, Calif., said in August that he was still considering running for the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council despite his March arrest for attempted murder, and his April arrest for pimping (allegedly caught with several underage recruits). (3) Verna Jackson Hammons said in August that her candidacy for mayor of Cullman, Ala., should not suffer by her having appeared 10 years earlier as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the other womanâ&#x20AC;? in a love triangle on an episode of The Jerry Springer Show. â&#x20AC;˘ Brazil has a robust democracy, but with very few controls on what candidates may call themselves on ballots. Among those running for offices this election season, according to a September New York Times dispatch from Rio de Janeiro: â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Kennedy Abreu Sousa,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmi Carter Santarem Barroso,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ladi Gaga,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christ of Jerusalem,â&#x20AC;? a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Macgaiver,â&#x20AC;? five â&#x20AC;&#x153;Batmans,â&#x20AC;? two â&#x20AC;&#x153;James Bondsâ&#x20AC;? and 16 people whose name contains â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obama.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marketing strategy,â&#x20AC;? said city council candidate Geraldo Custodio, who apparently likes his chances better as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geraldo Wolverine.â&#x20AC;? The Litigious Society The City Council of Jersey City, N.J., voted in September to settle a lawsuit filed by Joshua Lopez, who had driven his car directly at a police officer during a 2009 traffic stop, trapping the officer against his own squad car, and thus forcing the officer to fire at him. Lopez suffered only an injured hand, but the city has now agreed to give him $26,500 out of fear of â&#x20AC;&#x153;litigation risk.â&#x20AC;?
