Ann Marie Gaston North Italia

ALEX GUYTON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

ANN MARIE GASTON, a bartender for six years at North Italia, mixes a drink on Thursday.

alex guyton Daily Wildcat: How long have you been bartending?

Ann Marie Gaston: Well, I’ve been here at North for almost six years, which is kind of a lifetime in the restaurant industry. I’ve been in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years.

Do you have a favorite drink to make?

On our cocktail menu, we have a drink called the apple bourbon punch. We take Buffalo Trace whiskey and we infuse it with fresh vanilla beans and we do apple slices, and then we marinate that for 48 hours, and it gives a really nice spiced aroma to the bourbon. And then, for our cocktail, we mix that with chai and lemon juice, honey, and then we shake it and serve it over ice. It’s just a fantastic little wintery cocktail — It has spiciness to it [and] plenty of alcohol. It’s just really delicious.

Do you have a most memorable customer?

Being in one spot for so many years, you kind of get a following, and I don’t mean that in a cocky way. Like, for instance, I have a daughter.

She’s 3 now, and so the guests in the restaurant have seen me pregnant, they’ve seen me after, before, and so it’s really unique. People still ask me about my family life, nightly, several times a night. Your customers almost become an extension of yourself and they’re interested in your life and they want to know how you’re doing. It’s really unique. … It makes it more than a job.

Anything really weird or strange that you’ve seen go down at the bar?

So this restaurant’s really evolved a lot in the duration that I’ve been here. When I first started here, it was more of like a night club. We had a DJ on the weekends, we had doorman by the front door that would check your ID, and it was — I don’t want to say ‘wild’ in a negative way, but it was like a nightclub. People were dancing and partying. But now it’s more family friendly. There are kids sitting right over here and tonight it will be a packed house. People come here to enjoy really great wine and food.

Towards the beginning of my time here, once there was a fight, and the other bartender had to hop over the bar and break up the fight, and that was kind of wild and crazy, something I’ve never seen before. We’ve developed and changed so much that that would never happen today.

What do you appreciate in a customer?

I found that in the bar industry, it can be a lot … like the medical industry, as far as you meet someone on their best day [and] their worst day. Someone can be, like, emotional and tearing up at the bar from reading an email or maybe mourning the loss of a loved one, or maybe they’re celebrating their engagement, so you just try to read each guest individually.

I try to treat each situation as a fresh, new situation, and if they’re excited, I’m excited, and if they want to be somber, then I try to be respectful.

MarchFourth! parades into Rialto chelsea cook

O

n Saturday, The Rialto Theatre will host a performance like no other — complete with dancers, stilt walkers, acrobats and musicians, all of whom are a part of the “marching band” band, MarchFourth!.

This spectacle, according to John Averill, the band leader, is “a modernday big band spectacular with elaborate costumes and dancers and Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatics.” The group consists of 17 members — 13 musicians and four performers — who perform styles of music ranging from jazz and funk to Afro-beat and Eastern European Gypsy Brass.

MarchFourth! first emerged in March 2003 when Averill was creating bands for numerous occasions in Portland, Ore. “A group of friends and I had the idea to put together a marching band for a one-off, and it just started from there,” Averill said.

Initially, the group had no intentions of

starting an actual band, but that changed iconic songs, while adding in a few new over time. Since 2003, the band has had tunes here and there. The band describes over 100 different members join and itself as being more than simply a band leave. Presently, there are only 30 active and more akin to a ritual, like “The members who Rocky Horror rotate out Picture Show.” during tours.

Now, two of the originals, to the expectations while also mixing it Averill and Stauffer, still serve as the up a bit at each concert. band’s managing directors.

At its concerts, MarchFourth! does not The band tours most of the time, often simply play the music but also performs for traveling for two to three weeks and then the audience. The band’s publicist, Stevie heading back to Portland for another two Jay, said the band members do not perform to three weeks to rest before heading out because they want to be rich and famous for another round of tours. A majority but because they genuinely love their fans of the shows consist of the band’s most and want to keep making music for them.

“They make the audience feel bigger than life.”

“[MarchFourth!] is bigger than life, and they make the audience feel bigger than life because their entire focus is on the audience, and they are able to connect to the audience in ways like no other,” Jay said.

At some concerts, the band comes down off the stage and into the audience, and the audience forms a circle around the band as it continues performing.

Yale Cohn of Iowa City, Iowa, in the Little Village Magazine writes of the band, “Some mad scientist somewhere took a bunch of marching band geeks who died in a bus crash outside his castle, reassembled their bodies, laid them out on a platform, … zapped [it] with a lightning bolt and brought them back to life as a monster, all the while cackling as he admired his creation.”

MarchFourth! will be performing Saturday at the Rialto starting at 8 p.m.

Admission is $14 if purchased in advance and $16 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m.

efore the curtain even opens on The Rogue Theatre stage for the first preview of the season, a young man emerges. The man, unbeknownst to the crowd, is taking the stage in his first professional performance in his career.

Adam Harris, who plays the Boy in The Rogue Theatre’s current production, “Waiting for Godot,” is a student at the UA in his senior year. He is seeking a Bachelor of Arts in theatre arts after a two-year hiatus from performing. In his time at the university, he has appeared in two other productions at The Rogue Theatre: “Mr. Marmalade” and “The Secret Garden.”

“I think its pretty special; not everyone gets an opportunity to [act on stage],” said Cynthia Meier, managing and associate artistic director for The Rogue Theatre and the director of “Waiting for Godot” on Harris’ first professional performance.

Meier said she thought it was great for Harris to have that opportunity and that he’s a part of the cast.

“I’ve been doing plays since I was, like, 3

years old,” Harris said. “So I guess the draw to theater is that I’ve always been doing theater.”

Harris said that theater for kids is expressive and a creative outlet and everything sports could be for him, minus being physically active. He added that after he got into the theater program in his sophomore year, the Bachelor of Fine Arts program does a cut program, and he was one who got cut. Despite this, he stayed in Tucson and decided to do the BA program.

After deciding to do his Bachelor of Arts, Harris took an improvisation class where the professor at the end of the class asked him if he could come and do a reading for a part in Mr. Marmalade. Coincidently, the director for the piece was Matt Bowdren, the same man who plays Estragon in the “Waiting for Godot” production now. “[Bowdren] convinced me to audition for The Rogue Theatre season because they said they needed a bunch of children — well, not children, but younger people,” Harris said.

“So I auditioned and I got the Boy and for ‘[The] Merchant of Venice’ I got Lorenzo.”

Harris said that so far, working with the theater has been great and that it has been a really supportive environment.

Alum raises money to make feature film victoria pereira

“P

aper Cuts,” an independent film written and coproduced by a UA alumna, brings to light issues of mental illnesses and eating disorders in a story that many people can relate to.

The film, which is currently in the preproduction stage, tells the story of Jess, a woman in her 20s who returns to her hometown for her mother’s wedding. While there, she takes a trip down memory lane and uncovers old issues from her teenage years that she tried to repress, including depression, self-harm, anxiety and an eating disorder.

Tensions arise between Jess and her mother, ex-boyfriend and step-sister, and the life that she put together by ignoring her past begins to fall apart.

“As she scrambles to keep up her facade of being successful and content, her personal demons threaten to overwhelm her,” states the Indiegogo campaign page. UA alumna Kelli Horan, who wrote the script for “Paper Cuts,” wanted a film that could present these issues in a serious manner that audiences could relate to.

“A lot of movies and stories when they talk about these issues, they’re generally regarded as a teenage adolescent sort of thing,” Horan said. “It’s not discussed how these things follow you into adulthood sometimes.”

The idea for the film stemmed partially from Horan’s personal experiences during her youth.

Since her graduation from the UA in 2010, Horan has worked on several feature films, including a film called “Summer League,” which is now available for purchase on iTunes.

She works as a director of communications and marketing at a massage school when not working on films and is a producer and writer

THEATRE ARTS senior Adam Harris stars in “Waiting for Godot” at The Rogue Theatre. One of Harris’ dream roles would be to star as Sebastian from “Little Shop of Horrors.”

“Everyone is super nice and really supportive,” Harris said. “It’s been really nice working with such a small cast for my first show there because you really get to

at Greenless Studios, the production company behind “Paper Cuts” and “Summer League.”

Her journey to working in independent productions is rooted in her experiences in film school. Horan’s classes assigned her to make shorts and encouraged work on projects outside of class as well, which allowed her to gain valuable experience in the field. The Loft Cinema also allowed her to become part of a filmmaking community through special screenings and the First Friday Shorts competitions.

After moving to Austin, Texas, Horan was able to find that same sort of community in her new home which allowed her to find the people she is currently working with. Horan said she is proud of the fact that the majority of the cast and crew are women and that the female point of view is represented well.

“Paper Cuts” is currently still in production.

The cast and crew are based out in Austin and are currently trying to find the funds required to turn their script into a finished film. Horan and her team launched their crowdfunding campaign on the popular website Indiegogo on Jan. 13. The campaign’s ultimate goal is to reach $15,000 in order to cover the costs of locations, salaries for the cast and crew, food and props. As of Thursday, the campaign had raised $2,535 and will continue to remain open until Feb. 13.

know these people and how they work.”

Meier also complimented Harris’s on his interactions with the cast.

“Adam’s got such great presence and a fantastic attitude,” Meier said.

Meier added that it’s important for castmembers to get along with each other and be good team players, and that Harris is.

She said that could help Harris in his desire to be a high school teacher. After graduating from the UA, Harris said he wants to get a teaching license to teach theater to high school students.

Harris added that he learned to be better in every facet of his life through theater, and that he feels high school students are not taught by people who know theater, but by people who know literature, and he wants to change that.

“When I was in high school — not just middle school, through high school and growing up — teachers, theater teachers, were the ones that instilled professionalism and self-worth … and pride of my work,” Harris said on his desire to teach.

Funding is always an extremely important and usually difficult part of the production of independent films. Patrick McSherry, another co-producer of the film, explained that getting the word out about “Paper Cuts” and gaining both monetary support and fan awareness is the current task at hand.

“If people want to give us money, we really appreciate every dollar because that’s people putting their faith in us that we can tell this story,” McSherry said.

Horan, McSherry and the rest of their cast and crew are planning on filming over 11 days after finishing their funding campaign and eventually plan to enter “Paper Cuts” into festivals around the country.

“If you want to make a movie, go out there and do it,” Horan said, when asked what advice she would give to current film students.

“If you have a story to tell and you have a passion for it, just do it.”

‘Elastic Heart’ is striking, not sexual Anna Mae Ludlum

T

he “Elastic Heart” contemporary dance music video by Sia, featuring emotive storytelling through dance by actor Shia LaBeouf and dancer Maddie Ziegler, released Jan. 7 to immediate public dispute.

The quality of Sia’s song, “Elastic Heart,” is not in question, but the appropriateness of 12-year-old Ziegler wearing a nude leotard and 28-year-old LaBeouf in nude briefs dueling in a massive cage with raw emotion through gritty choreography by Ryan Heffington is.

The intensity between LaBeouf and Ziegler has been interpreted with “pedophilia overtones,” prompting Sia to apologize via Twitter for any additional trauma inflicted by viewing her video.

Invalidating pain triggered by memories of abuse invalidate abuse incurred, inflicting additional harm. Discounting the value of an artistic expression due to simply misunderstanding the artist’s concept is a mistake. Sia acknowledged the potential harm without abandoning her artistic integrity.

Douglas R. Nielsen, UA dance professor, remembered gasps from a Mexican audience caught off guard when his dancers appeared on stage

in nude leotards. Nude leotards allow the audience to see each intricate movement of the dancer without analyzing meaning of colors in costumes.

Gymnastic floor routines require leotards to showcase athleticism for girls, but gymnasts aren’t dragged into accusations of performing for the prurient interests of the public. The leotard worn in “Elastic Heart” by Ziegler produced qualms because she danced beside a man.

The same leotard worn by Ziegler in Sia’s “Chandelier” music video didn’t raise qualms.

LaBeouf’s wounded, lonely demeanor and full beard aren’t intended to be symbolic of the cautionary fable of “Bluebeard” and his child bride. Throughout the video, LaBeouf is repeatedly tossed, bit, mocked, hit, choked and frightened by Ziegler’s character.

LaBeouf represents Sia’s conflicting lyrics — unwilling to hurt another despite repeat abuse from Ziegler’s mischievous and manipulative character.

The use of an older male opposite a young girl is nothing new in cinematic dance history, but the layers of emotion embedded in each frame of “Elastic Heart” is new.

Similar outrage occurred after the 1936 film “Captain January,” in which Shirley Temple’s hula dance was censored for “immorality”

MONKEY PUZZLE RECORDS

because she wore a grass skirt and lei. Temple danced in the film again in gray sailor-styled flare pants, leading film critic Graham Greene to insist 8-year-old Temple wasn’t just aware of her sexuality, but purposely using her innocence to entice grown men through dance.

Ziegler’s choreographed moves aren’t sexually derived, as her choreography is expressions of immaturity and toxic incompatibility, a common theme throughout Sia’s 1000 Forms

Belle and Sebastian’s new record goes retro Caren Badtke

G

irls in Peacetime Want to Dance, the ninth LP from Scottish indiepop band Belle and Sebastian, comes after a five-year hiatus. In two decades of heartwarming pop, nothing much has changed for Belle and Sebastian.

There’s bandleader Stuart Murdoch, a soft-spoken guy blending sweet melodies and witty, bookish lyrics, and multi-instrumentalist Sarah

Martin, contributing angelic violin and vocals every now and then, making the music all the sweeter.

Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance breaks from their usual sound in unsubtle, yet interesting ways.

Influences of world music and europop meet smooth twee pop, a genre that perfectly describes the simplistic, melodious elevator music that Belle and Sebastian do so well.

The album’s opener, “Nobody’s Empire,” deals with topics of social anxiety and angst in an everdeveloping world and then getting

locked up in a mental institution and loving it.

“Play for Today” mixes in-yourface eurodance and pretty lyrics, making it seem like a German “Schlager” in an ironic yet melodious way. In “The Cat with the Cream,” Belle and Sebastian appear as a sleepy, androgynous throwback to 1960s pairings like Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood.

“The Everlasting Muse” plays with Greek sirtaki elements aligned with bluesy beats. Changes in tempo and

of Fear album. “Elastic Heart” director Daniel Askill said the video represents Sia’s conflicting internal emotions and the cage represents Sia’s skull enduring the volatile strife.

Defenders of Sia’s video have taken to Twitter to voice support for the primal and artistic video. Others suggested the controversy could have been avoided by casting an older woman in LaBeouf’s role.

Sia’s performance on “Saturday Night Live” last Saturday showcased Ziegler dancing onstage opposite a

similarly costumed female dancer, but the experiment failed to invoke the visceral emotional response found in the video.

Sia, remaining relatively quiet on the subject, writes through Twitter, “All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could play … these two warring Sia self states.”

folky instruments such as zither and flute make this song, next to the album’s funky, synth-laden lead single “The Party Line,” by far the catchiest, most memorable of the record.

Ben H. Allen III, who had previously worked with artists such as Animal Collective and M.I.A., produced Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance. The Atlanta-based producer clearly pushed Belle and Sebastian to expand their music into new spheres, but he smoothed and polished the record almost too much for nostalgic fans, making it a less memorable one. While it cannot keep up with 1996’s iconic If You’re Feeling Sinister, Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance is quite enjoyable when given time.

In “Enter Sylvia Plath,” a female character advises Murdoch to “be popular, play pop” in order to be

loveable. Belle and Sebastian have evidentially taken this to heart, but this only makes the record weaker, with less emphasis on the usually heartfelt lyrics.

Murdoch’s chime-of-a-bell voice and the band’s unhurried, sophisticated tone made the Scots a household name in indie pop. Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance is not a weak record. However, the band’s newfound love for retro disco and the ironic character of the songs take some getting used to. Yet, since Belle and Sebastian stay true to their twee roots with sensible, intelligent and honest pop, the record is the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday with an occasional silly dance break.

Small presses pay visit to Tucson Victoria Pereira

I

f you wonder what it’s like to be a writer looking for someone to publish your work, you can find out Friday at the UA Poetry Center’s Survival Skills for Writers panel.

From 4-5 p.m., creative writing professors and published authors Kate Bernheimer and Ander Monson will be moderating a question and answer panel between attendees and small press publishers Katie Dublinski and Chris Fischbach. The panel hopes to answer questions from people interested in publishing their own work and those wanting to learn more about the publishing process and the roles of editors and publishers, specifically at small companies.

Dublinski and Fischbach, who are also married, live and work in Minneapolis at two of the most prestigious small publishing companies in the nation.

“Dublinski serves as associate publisher for Graywolf Press, an independent, nonprofit literary publisher … [and] Fischbach is the publisher at Coffee House Press,” states the couple’s profile page on the Poetry Center’s website.

Graywolf Press and Coffee House Press, although small companies, have a large influence on literature today. Each company has published dozens of novels, poetry collections and works of nonfiction that have gone on to win awards as prestigious as Pulitzer Prizes and have been nominated for National Book Awards. The two companies are also the publishers of Bernheimer and Monson’s work, which contributed to Dublinski and Fischbach’s attendance as guests at the panel.

The main goal of the panel is to inform people looking to publish their own work that large publishing companies aren’t their only option.

Monson said there is a significant difference between small and large presses that most people don’t notice. The difference has to do with what they’re publishing, with small presses often giving new, more unique writers a chance to get their work to prospective readers. “[The small presses] are primarily interested in publishing good work,” Monson said. “These are publishers that are really more interested in publishing literature with a capital ‘L’.”

Large publishing companies tend to follow the trends of popular culture when publishing books. The surge of

vampire romance novels following the success of the “Twilight” saga by Stephenie Meyer or the neverending collection of dystopian books that owe their achievements to Kristen Simmons and her “Hunger Games” series are evidence of this. It makes sense from a business perspective — publishing companies are trying to turn a profit and printing popular books allows them to do that with

little risk involved — but where does that leave other writers?

That’s where small companies like Graywolf Press and Coffee House Press step up and take in authors and poets with more insightful, artistic visions. These publishers take on the risks of printing more eclectic work, giving authors the chance they need to tell the stories that large presses would be hesitant to invest in.

Monson also explained that smaller publishers tend to edit writing much more than large presses, something he believes has helped his own writing.

Monson is an editor himself at the online literary journal DIAGRAM, which he also founded, and has written six books. His newest book, “Letter to a Future Lover,” is being released early February by Graywolf Press.

“I love the constant novelty of it,” Monson said about writing. “As a writer, nothing I do is the same as something I did before.”

Monson said this fact also makes writing difficult since no new project can be approached in the same way as the last. He believes that writing is oftentimes a long, involved process.

“Be patient, write a lot and read a lot,” Monson suggested to aspiring writers.

Those interested in small press publishing and how to become published authors are invited to visit the workshop.

Glamorous gala gives money to museum Lior Attias

T

he Tucson Museum of Art will be putting on its annual CRUSH Gala on Saturday. The event’s main feature is a live auction for local art, with live music from the George Howard Band, fabulous wines and food from local restaurants.

The event is a fundraiser for the many features of the Tucson Museum of Art. “Our fundraiser raises money for everything we do here,” said Alba Rojas-Sukkar, director of development at the museum.

“It raises money for all the different things we do, like bring in spectacular exhibitions, like our new exhibition, ‘The Figure

Examined: Master Works by the Kasser Mochary Art Foundation.’”

The event not only supports thought-provoking exhibitions for artists around the country but also events for the Tucson community at large.

“The money goes to support all the good things we do,” said Katie Terry, grants manager and development associate at the museum. “It supports our educational program as well as our free days, when the community can come and participate in art for a free or reduced charge.”

Terry added that the event isn’t “just a glamorous party”; it benefits Tucson by supporting the museum’s curators and educational center, who “all do really good work to try to bring art into the Tucson community.”

“The event features a one-of-akind live auction,” Rojas-Sukkar said. “Our live auction items cannot be found anywhere else.”

The auction will be conducted by Bohnams International Auctioneers and Appraisals and will be an exciting event at the center of the gala.

“It’s a whole new echelon of live auction,” Rojas-Sukkar said.

The gala pays a heavy tribute to local Tucson artists. Merlin Cohen, Barbara Rogers, David Adix , Carrie Seid and Fred Hambly are just a few of the local artists featured at the event, Terry said. With over 20 art pieces up for auction, mostly from local artists, the gala contributes to the thriving art scene in Tucson and lets art collectors get to know unique styles that complement

the city and its people.

With good art must come good wine, and the CRUSH Gala has no shortage of this. Art connoisseurs can enjoy rare wines from around the world paired with a gourmet dinner. Afterwards, guests can enjoy live music and dancing from the George Howard Band.

The museum is also holding a separate party to further celebrate Tucson’s food, wine and art. The more informal event will feature over 150 wines and beers from around the world, an additional silent auction for guests and food from over 30 local restaurants.

“Everybody from the [Hotel Congress] Cup Café to [Firebirds Wood Fired Grill], North [Italia] and Frost [Gelato],” Terry said. “There is something for everybody.”

The gala will be on Saturday from 5-11 p.m. and will be held at the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa. Tickets can be purchased at $225 each.

The party will be held on April 10 from 6-9 p.m. at the Tucson Museum of Art. Tickets can be purchased at $75 regular admission or $150 VIP and are tax deductible.

To purchase tickets, visit www. tucsonmuseumofart.org.

Over 360 guests attended the gala last year, and over 1000 attended the party. Those at the Tucson Museum of Art expect similar numbers this year as well.

Creative Juice Art Bar blends the health benefits of wine and the joy of painting in one delicious palette Mia Moran

A

t the Creative Juice Art Bar, not only can you drink your wine — you can paint it, too.

When Chellie Krajnak, an elementary school teacher, and Kristina Valencia, an art teacher, wanted a change of pace, the two decided to collaborate and build off a concept they had seen in Denver that incorporated two of their favorite things: art and wine. They brought the idea to Arizona, and the two created Tucson’s original art bar.

“She’s the creative; I’m the juice,” Krajnak said about their partnership.

“She creates almost all of the paintings, and I do the business and the wine. It works well together.”

Nearly every space on the walls of Creative Juice is adorned with one of Valencia’s paintings, all of which she teaches to artists young and old with experience from amateur to expert. The paintings include detailed landscapes of the Sonoran Desert, adorable animals and UA-themed works. Valencia talks through each of the paintings step-by-step, but it’s up to those participating whether they

Aside from Creative Juice’s night classes during the week, it also offers Family Fun Days once a month, where families can come in for a two-hour guided painting lesson. Creative Juice also takes part in the monthly Tucson tradition of Second Saturdays by offering painting and cooking classes just for kids. There are also opportunities for private birthday parties and off-site events, as well as date night paintings that are made by putting together two separate canvases.

Both Krajnak and Valencia promoted their Cosmic Night as an event geared toward the university crowd.

“We black out the whole place, paint by blacklight with glow-in-the-dark paint and have a DJ,” Krajnak said. “It’s more party painting that sometimes turns into a dance party.”

All of Creative Juice Art Bar’s nightly classes are $35, which includes the cost of paint, a canvas, brushes and a drink.

“If you want it, we’ll probably paint it,” Krajnak said. “We’re just here to have fun and relax.”

All the tea in Tucson Chelsea Cook

O

n any given day during the school year, the Scented Leaf Tea House and Lounge is always filled with students sitting at tables studying, chatting or just relaxing. The store is filled with over 30 kinds of tea, and there are always 12 teas on tap — usually the most popular. But this University Boulevard hotspot was not always a tea house — ­ it was once a perfume boutique.

Five years ago, Shane Barela, the owner of the tea house, opened up a boutique called University Perfumes, next to The Auld Dubliner on University Boulevard. After being open for some time, Barela was still not attracting as many customers as he had anticipated.

“Tucson wasn’t ready for a boutique perfume store,” Barela said. “Everyone still bought perfume from department stores, and it didn’t look like it was changing anytime soon.”

During the first year of business, Barela came across the book “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. Before reading the novel, he said he had already been thinking about doing something different with his life because the perfume business was not going as he had planned. After finishing the book, he said he knew it was time to move on and start a new chapter in his life.

Later that same year, Barela and his then-girlfriend went on a pre-honeymoon to Spain. While wandering down the main drive where all the tourists were, Barela

said he had a gut feeling that he should turn down onto a small side street that looked as if it held nothing interesting. Following his feeling, he began walking down the road and saw a small store with loose leaf tea on display.

As they approached the stand, he said they were blown away by both the smell and the look of the tea leaves. After conversing with the owner of the store about the benefits of having real, loose leaf tea compared to the Western bagged tea, Barela said he knew what he needed to do. He turned to his girlfriend and told her that they were going to begin selling tea in the perfume shop.

“It was a mother nature story,” Barela said about the connection between perfume and tea. “They both start from the ground and come up.”

They started by selling only five or six teas and gave out samples to passerby. Over time, the tea trend began to take hold, and the popularity of the store grew immensely. One day, Barela was taking a walk with his son down University Boulevard and came across a cupcake store that had just become vacant and was near the front of Main Gate Square.

He decided to talk to his landlord about moving his business to the new location and pitched his idea of creating a tea house. The landlord said he loved the idea and helped him move over into the new store, where it is currently located today.

When he first opened the Scented Leaf, Barela said he was not very good at making tea and “had to learn the hard way.” Over time, he said the tea house evolved into a place for students and other community members to come and enjoy a drink that

is healthier than coffee. Barela admits the clientele is not what he imagined it would be; at first, he believed his main customers would be an older crowd who weren’t very open to trying new things. Instead, Barela said he saw a younger and more mindful group of people, which he originally had wanted.

Annie Nguyen, a nutritional sciences freshman, said she frequents the Scented Leaf at least once a month and goes there when she needs her caffeine fix.

“I think it’s a great idea to study there, because it’s pretty quiet most of the time,” Nguyen said. “It’s a great place to meet for group projects because there are long tables and snacks in case anyone gets hungry. It’s also a great place to go on the weekends or on a weekday afternoon when you have some free time because there are always tables open outside, so you’re able to sit outside and chat while drinking tea.”

Nguyen recommends taking advantage of the three refill deal and to try the pumpkin chai or papaya green tea.

“Because I love tea, I decided to go in and try it out,” Nguyen said. “Once I tried it, I was hooked.”

Barela said The Scented Leaf is his heart and soul, and that he enjoys working at the tea house and interacting with the unique personalities that enter the shop. The Scented Leaf Tea House and Lounge really has come a long way from the small perfume boutique it was five years ago.

Film festival exposes Jewish experience Anna Mae Ludlum

T

he Tucson International Jewish Film Festival’s 24th annual season winds down this weekend at the Jewish Community Center after showcasing 19 films rich in diversity to create an environment of unity and Jewish culture.

Lynn Davis, director of arts and culture at the Jewish Community Center, anticipates 2,600 and 3,000 people in attendance at the 10-day long festival.

Opening night kicked off with American filmmaker Lacey Schwartz’s personal documentary, “Little White Lie,” revealing the shockwave of emotions and identity confusion unleashed after learning her tightknit Jewish family hid her

mother’s affair with a black man, which resulted in Schwartz’s birth.

Schwartz’s film confronts the devastating consequences of family secrets and the lies perpetuated to protect others as she merges her two cultures.

The festival closes with films submitted from France, Israel and the United Kingdom.

France’s “The Jewish Cardinal,” directed by Ilan Duran Cohen, explores the true story of Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger. Jewish by birth, Lustiger converted to Catholicism and forever identified himself as Jewish.

Cohen’s film highlights Lustiger’s struggle as he is pushed to choose between his faith identity and cultural identity when nuns petition to build a convent on the property where his Jewish mother died, Auschwitz.

Israel’s film “Operation Sunflower,” by Avraham Kushnir, is the fictional account of Israeli and Parisian physicists creating an Israeli nuclear program in the 1950s and ’60s. Hesitancy among the physicists ensues as the morality of the program is questioned despite surrounding countries plotting attacks on Israel.

The festival closes with the premiere of the United Kingdom’s submission “The Best of Men,” by Tim Whitby.

German-Jewish refugee and neurologist Dr. Ludwig Guttman worked with paraplegics in 1944 England. Guttman revolutionized the three-year mortality rate among the paraplegic patients by using sports as a means of therapy.

Guttman’s competitive athletic therapy resulted in the creation of the Paralympics in 1960.

Over 120 films from around the

world representing different cultures were submitted throughout the year for the chance to be featured at the Tucson International Jewish Film Festival.

“There is a great big world out there and this is a window into it,” Davis said.

The selected films feature a wide array of foreign languages, worldviews, lifestyles, genres and aesthetic style. A lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning-supported film, a Palestinian narrative and films by first-time filmmakers were among those selected.

Davis has taken on the timeconsuming task of viewing nearly all submitted films for the past four film festival seasons to determine which film will be viewed by the committee.

The 12-person committee consists of community residents and

members at the Jewish Community Center. The committee members raise funds for the festival, debate the merits of each film with open minds and view 50 to 60 films per year.

Davis said the films were chosen because they featured great stories and were relatable and compassionate.

As the festival comes to a close, Davis’s job is never done. Film submissions for next year’s Tucson International Jewish Film Festival had already piled up before this year’s festival’s opening night.

The Tucson International Jewish Film Festival will show the closing film on Saturday.

Butts, ’Cats aim for ‘breakthrough’ win

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

In desperate need of a win, Arizona women’s basketball returns home to the comforts of McKale Center this weekend to take on Oregon State and Oregon.

The Wildcats (7-10) currently sit near the bottom of the Pac12 Conference with a 0-6 conference record. In order to get out of that hole, they’ll first have to figure out how to play a full 40 minutes of attentive, focused basketball.

On Friday, there will be even less room for error than usual when the UA faces No. 8/9 Oregon State at 8 p.m. The Beavers have only one loss on the season and are undefeated in Pac12 play.

For Arizona to pull off an upset, it will take a nearly flawless effort against an opponent with much more experience and depth.

“They’re really big,” Arizona women’s basketball coach Niya Butts said. “They’re disciplined, and they can really shoot it from the outside. They don’t make many mistakes, and they don’t give you many opportunities to capitalize off their mistakes.”

Oregon State features three scorers in double-digits, led by Ruth Hamblin, who averages 14.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game.

While Butts shifted to a taller lineup last game against California, starting JaLea Bennett and Breanna Workman, Hamblin at 6-foot-6 still towers over the Wildcats.

Since Arizona doesn’t have the size to match up head-to-head with the Beavers, it must do a better job of knocking down shots while still remaining aggressive when attacking the rim.

“We have to pressure the ball, and we have to be smart,” Butts said. “We have to score when we have those opportunities, and we have to get to the foul line.”

Despite getting swept by the Bay Area schools last weekend, Butts did see some encouragement in how hard the UA played in the 12-point loss to Cal. Arizona got to the charity stripe 23 times and had arguably its best rebounding performance of the season, beating the Bears 45-42 on the glass.

“We didn’t capitalize on all those shots like I would have liked to, but I thought our energy was much better,” Butts said. “I think we were much more aggressive.”

The Wildcats would like to extend that energy throughout the weekend when they take on Oregon in a 1 p.m. Sunday start.

Like Arizona, the Ducks have struggled early on in the conference season by getting off to a 1-5 start, including four consecutive losses. Also like Arizona, Oregon has a tendency to turn the ball over.

If the UA can cut down on its mistakes, particularly when committing unforced errors on offense, this could be a manageable opponent to defeat.

Oregon does boast the nation’s second-leading rebounder in Jillian Alleyne. The junior forward isn’t even the tallest player on her team, yet she averages 15.1 rebounds per game.

However, the Ducks are not a great shooting team and also have a tendency to lapse on defense.

Playing in front of a home crowd, the game might be Arizona’s best opportunity to pick up a conference win on Sunday.

Both the Arizona men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams face Stanford and California this weekend in Hillenbrand Stadium

BY NICOLE COUSINS The Daily Wildcat

So far this season, the Arizona women’s swimming and diving team feels like it’s just been in lap swim. The undefeated, 22-member squad has hardly faced a notable opponent, winning all but one meet by at least 45 points — it escaped No. 13 UCLA 155-145 back in November.

However, this weekend the No. 14 Wildcats will plunge head first into the icy-cold wrath of No. 3 Stanford and No. 1 California on back-to-back days.

It’s a daunting task, but one that junior standout Bonnie Brandon said her team has been waiting for.

“Our sport isn’t coming in here nine times a week and swimming back and forth,” Brandon said. “Our sport is when we finally have a chance to get up on the block and race someone.”

Both the men’s and women’s teams host ranked Stanford and Cal teams this weekend. The No. 7 Stanford men will

The No. 11 Arizona men were plagued early in the season with hefty losses, losing three of five meets and overcoming only UNLV and Missouri. Head coach Rick DeMont, though, said he thinks the team is right where it needs to be.

“This guys team has been through a lot,”

W I L D C AT S P E C I A L

BRAZILIAN $ 39

DeMont said. “I think we now have a core group of guys that are all on the same page with the same motivations, and they’re all in it together.”

One of those guys, Kevin Cordes, won’t be the only high-profile swimmer making a splash in Tucson this weekend. World record holder and Olympian Missy Franklin will also be there to put on a spectacle.

“It’s always great to have great swimmers at Arizona swim at this pool,” said Cordes,

who’s spent considerable time at elite levels like Franklin. “It’s great to have the best competition here. I know it brings out the best in me, and I’m sure it does with her.”

The 19-year-old sophomore Cal Golden Bear and four-time Olympic gold medalist has been ranked No. 1 in the world for three straight years, and is just one of 28 threats on the seemingly impenetrable Bears fleet.

“We’re coming upon the best teams in the country,” DeMont said. “In the next three weeks, we’re going against the absolute best.”

Franklin’s talent is no stranger to Brandon, as both grew up just down the street in Centennial, Colo.

But amidst all the hype, Brandon is taking it one step at a time.

“Our goal is to just get up there and race who we can and see what happens,” Brandon said with a smile.

The No. 7 Arizona Wildcats cut down the Stanford Cardinal 89-80 in Maples Pavilion to improve to 17-2 on the season

TALE OF THE TAPE

BY JAMES KELLEY

A

The Daily Wildcat

fter a couple disappointing losses in recent weeks, Arizona men’s basketball is playing its best ball of the season. The No. 7 Wildcats (17-2, 5-1 Pac-12 Conference) battled through a host of adversity to defeat Stanford 89-82 for, arguably, their best road win of the season.

After losing the game that was for a share of first place in the conference, the Cardinal, at 13-5 and 4-2, is clearly the third-best team in the conference. No. 12 Utah (15-3, 5-1), which Arizona beat 69-51 last Saturday, is the other team in first place.

While the Wildcats have now beaten Stanford 10 times in a row, it was the Cardinal’s first home loss of the year. Stanford had won three in a row and seven of its last eight.

In its last game, the Cardinal beat the defending national champions, UConn, 72-59.

The Wildcats have come a long way since losing to a mediocre UNLV team on Festivus.

Stanford defeated the Runnin’ Rebels by 29 points in November, by the way.

Actually, Arizona has come a long way since losing a 58-56 shocker at Oregon State right before the semester started. Sure, the Beavers are 11-0 at home, but this Arizona team would handily defeat them nine times out of 10 anywhere, from McKale Center to Corvallis, Ore., to the moon.

Arizona defeated Stanford despite insane foul trouble. Backup center Dusan Ristic fouled out, starting forward Brandon Ashley had four fouls, starting center Kaleb Tarczewski picked up four fouls and forward Stanley Johnson ended with

It’s hard to have any rhythm, much less win, when your entire frontcourt is afraid to touch someone out of fear of fouling out.

On the other side, Stanford had five players with four fouls and 28 total, though that was after it started sending Arizona to the freethrow line late when the Wildcats were pulling away.

The tweet of the night belongs to Daily Wildcat sports reporter Ezra Amacher, who said: “If I filtered refs out of my timeline, there would be nothing left on Twitter.”

Amacher covers UA women’s hoops, so he’s used to basketball that’s difficult to watch.

The officials made a mockery of the game, and yet, the Wildcats persevered. Being able to face and overcome adversity like this makes Arizona a team that could go a long

way in March.

Late in the game, the UA went on a 9-0 run to make the lead insurmountable. The run started once seldom-used forward Matt Korcheck scored four points.

Coming into the game, Korcheck was averaging one point and 2.6 minutes per game.

Korcheck was so important to the run that his name was a trending topic on Twitter.

As Drake says, he started from the bottom, now he’s here.

The bad news about the UA’s win was that Tarczewski continued his recent struggles, recording five points and three rebounds, and his backup, Ristic, had zero points and two rebounds. With four points and two rebounds, Korcheck was almost as good as Arizona’s twin towers.

Ashley scored 17 points, two behind the UA’s leading scorer Johnson, who was the first Wildcat to get into foul trouble.

While Johnson continues to break out, Arizona will probably need quality minutes from its big men if it wants to continue its three-game winning streak at California, which features one the league’s best players.

Cal comes in with an ugly record, but it is tough to beat at home. Last year, it snapped Arizona’s 21-game win streak to open the season. This year, Cal beat Washington at home

to open up the Pac-12 season. The Huskies have fallen on hard times since, but, at the time, were ranked 11-1 and ranked No. 21 overall.

Forward David Kravish is the only player in Cal history with 200 career blocks, 800 career rebounds and 1,000 career points, at the least. In Pac-12 history, the other three in that exclusive club are Arizona’s Anthony Cook (1986-1989) and Channing Frye (2002-2005), and USC’s Taj Gibson (2007-2009).

With Utah and Stanford in the rearview mirror and the Wildcats

playing so well, the next few weeks look very nice for Arizona.

After Cal, the UA hosts the Oregon schools and then travels to ASU, its easiest road trip. Arizona could easily be 21-2 overall and 9-1 in conference play heading into its Washington trip.

Knock on wood — or tree — but after their impressive win at Stanford, the Wildcats seem poised to grab that No. 1 seed in the west again.

Arizona ice hockey will look to continue its hot streak this weekend at home. No. 19 Arizona hosts No. 7 Stony Brook University in a two-game series this weekend at the Tucson Convention Center Arena.

“Stony Brook will be a very difficult challenge,” Arizona hockey coach Chad Berman said. “These games mean everything for us to get into the National Tournament.

They are a team that plays the right way and grinds for 60 minutes. There is no such thing as a cheap win against this group. If we are going to be successful, we’re going to have to earn it.

Hopefully, we will continue our momentum from last weekend.”

Stony Brook University (20-4) is on track to be the Champions of the Eastern States Collegiate Hockey League Playoffs for its third season in a row. Last season, the Seawolves made it to the semifinals of the ACHA National Tournament.

Stony Brook is led in scoring by Ryan Cotcamp with 34 points this season. Cotcamp has 16 goals and 18 assists, with six of his goals coming on the man advantage.

Between the pipes for the Seawolves are Derek Willms and Brendan Jones. Both goalies have played 11 games each and serve as Stony Brook’s starting goalies. Willms has a save percentage of .96, and Jones holds a .92 save percentage.

“Stony Brook plays an aggressive, fast-played game,” UA defender Alex Vazquez said. “We have to play our game and match their speed and aggressiveness, which is exactly our style of play, and most importantly, play disciplined.”

Arizona (11-16) snapped a six-game losing

ARIZONA HOCKEY forward Griffin Dyne (13) takes the puck down the ice during Arizona’s 3-1 loss to ASU at the Tucson Convention Center Arena on Dec. 6, 2014. The Wildcats take on Stony Brook this weekend in a two-game series.

streak last weekend at home with a complete, two-game sweep of the Division II Utah Utes.

Although Arizona’s offense had been in a bit of a slump, the Wildcats found their rhythm against Utah. Arizona’s offense was at a high point, scoring eight goals in two games and allowing only one goal into its own net.

“Last weekend was a good step in the right direction, especially in getting some confidence

back to make a good push here at the end of the season,” UA forward Griffin Dyne said. “Stony Brook is a good test for us, and if we can stick to our defensive game, pay attention to the small details and keep our game simple, we should have a very successful home weekend here.”

The Wildcats’ penalty kill has been a strong part of their defense during the past two weeks, killing 11 of 11 penalties just last weekend.

Arizona will dedicate Saturday night’s game to the fight against breast cancer and hope to put cancer in the penalty box for good. Puck drops Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.
