What’s the most underrated movie?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

Dogville. The best movie that everyone else hates.

JUNE ROSE

SANTA CRUZ | SOCK FLINGER

The Lone Ranger. The jokes were good, but it was very subtle. It was not very well received, I don’t know why.

BRISIA ALCARAZ

SANTA CRUZ | FULL-TIME MOM

Kids, from 1995. Larry Clark [directed]. Harmony Korine wrote it. It has the original Supreme team, which was just a bunch of random skater kids, and they got them to act through the whole movie.

JESSE REGER

FELTON | RETAIL

MARLYN T. ZIWARD

PESCADERO | TRANSLATOR

The SpongeBob Movie, because it really expanded the TV show, and I don’t really think that enough people saw it to really understand the meaning of it.

HALLEY RHOUAULT

SANTA CRUZ | STUDENT

SANTACRUZ.COM | GTWEEKLY.COM | NOVEMBER 12-18, 2014

The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky. Probably one of the most visual and thematically far-out, mind-bogglingly surreal, allegorical vision quest of film that’s ever been made.

Week of November 12 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

We all have addictive and obsessive tendencies. They are fundamental to being human. So the challenge is not to eliminate them—that’s not possible—but rather to harness them. If you hope to keep them from dragging you down, you must work hard to channel them into activities that enhance your life. How are you doing on this score, Aries? Are you chronically dependent on drugs, gambling, sugar, or chaotic relationships? Or are you, instead, hooked on the courage you summon when you face your fears and the willpower you invoke as you free yourself from your limitations? Now is an excellent time to upgrade your addictive and obsessive tendencies.

“To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often.” Winston Churchill said that, and now I’m passing it along to you—with one caveat. I don’t expect you to be perfect, and never will. To shoot for perfection is risky. It may set up unrealistic expectations that lead to bad mental hygiene. It tempts you to avoid messy experiences, some of which might be essential to your growth. So I will offer a revised version of Churchill’s maxim for your use: If you want to improve, you must change. If you want to keep improving, you must change often. And the coming months will be prime time for you to keep improving and improving and improving.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Our planet’s most abundant mineral is called bridgmanite. It’s an amalgam of iron, magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Until recently, no one had actually seen it because it lies so deep underground it can’t be reached by digging tools. Scientists have only known about it from studying how earthquake waves moved through it.

That changed in the last few years, when two mineralogists found bridgmanite in an ancient meteorite. They were able to analyze the nuances of this basic mineral for the first time. I predict a comparable development for you, Taurus. In the coming months, you will become more familiar with a core part of you that has always been a mystery. The revelations may occur with the help of an influence that resembles a meteorite.

“Sex is like pizza,” said comedian Mel Brooks. “Even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.” That’s a generalization, of course. I’m sure you can think of times in your past when mediocre pizza and mediocre sex were just plain mediocre. But work with me on the overarching principle, Scorpio: Some of the finer things in life just can’t be spoiled. They are always at least moderately pleasurable and interesting and lucky—and usually more than just moderately so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your immediate future will be filled to the brim with these finer things.

Some conspiracy theorists are paranoid that aliens or government agencies use radio waves to try to control their minds. They wear tin foil hats to protect themselves from the evil transmissions. But a recent study shows that this protective head gear has an effect that’s opposite to what it’s supposed to. In fact, it actually amplifies the intensity of radio frequencies, making it even more likely that mind-control signals would work their dastardly magic. This problem probably does not apply to you, but I suspect you are suffering from a comparable glitch.

An approach you’re pursuing or an attitude you’re cultivating is having an impact contrary to what you imagine.

Now is an excellent time to make adjustments.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

I can’t remember the last time you’ve had as much artistic freedom as you have now. It’s as if life has given you a slew of wild cards and X-factors to play with. You don’t have to answer to the past as much as you usually do. You are less beholden to the demands of duty and the constraints of karma. Here’s the best perk: You have been authorized by both the higher powers and lower powers of the cosmos to fall in love. With whom? With what? Everyone! Everything!

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 For much of its history, the United States claimed ownership of the ocean within three miles of its coasts. That changed in 1988, when the federal government declared that hereafter it would have sovereignty over the ocean as far as 12 miles from land. With that action, American territory increased dramatically. I invite you to consider a comparable expansion in the coming months, Leo. Seize more space. Seek further privileges. Ask for a bigger piece of everything.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

101 Cooper Street, Santa Cruz, CA 831.687.8097 www.day1solar.com contact: info@day1solar.com CA License #987896

Poland’s most renowned ghost hunter is frustrated.

Having invested a fortune in spectral detection equipment, Piotr Shalkevitz finds that there are fewer and fewer spooks to investigate as the years go by. I’m not qualified to speak about whether or not the whole world is experiencing a decline in the ghost population. But I’m confident that this is exactly what is happening for you Virgos. Recently, the haunted elements of your life have begun to dissipate. And in the next eight months, I expect that you will be freed from most, maybe all, of the ghosts and pesky demons that attached themselves to you once upon a time.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Ancient people knew about Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn because all of those planets are visible to the naked eye. From the second millennium B.C. until the late 20th century, only three additional planets were found: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. (Pluto was later reclassified as a dwarf planet, however.) Then in 1992, astronomers began to locate planets orbiting other stars. On one spectacular day in February of 2014, NASA announced it had identified 715 new planets. I foresee a similar uptick for you in the next seven months, Sagittarius. Your rate of discoveries is about to zoom.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 When Evan Lattimer’s 92-year-old father died in 2007, she inherited his large collection of odd relics. It included a cigar smoked by W. C. Fields, Greta Garbo’s driver’s license, Abraham Lincoln’s shaving mirror, a bearskin coat owned by George Custer, and Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis. Many items turned out to be quite valuable to collectors. One eager bidder offered to buy the famous genitalia for $100,000. I suspect that in the coming months, you will experience events that have some resemblances to this story. For example, the legacy you receive may not be what you expected, but could turn out to be more useful than you imagined.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Here’s your assignment: Get more organized and purposeful about having fun. Think harder about what makes you feel good, and plan more aggressively to bring those feel-good experiences into your life. In offering these prescriptions, I’m not advocating irresponsible hedonism.

Not at all. In my view, you will become a better servant of those you care about by boosting your commitment to pleasure. You will carry out your duties with more aplomb and effectiveness. Raising your joy quotient is actually a formula for becoming a better human being.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The Appalachian Mountains span 1,500 miles from Newfoundland to Alabama. They are the seventh longest range in the world. And yet they have shrunk over the eons. Their average height is 3,000 feet, but when they were young they were probably twice that high. What happened? There has been constant erosion caused by rivers, glaciers, wind, tree roots, lichens, and oxidation. Rain and condensation have also played a role because when water freezes, it expands, creating a wedging force. I propose that we make what has happened to the Appalachians a symbol of what’s possible for you in the next eight months, Pisces. Through steady, small actions, you can significantly grind down a mountainous obstacle.

<4 doesn’t mean you can’t alert girls and women that getting drunk can be exploited by men on the lookout for vulnerability, but when it’s the only message, then women are more likely to be held responsible.

It’s disturbing to me that the recent focus on public safety in Santa Cruz has omitted any reference to the high rate of rapes in this city.

I tried to make it an issue, went to the meetings and the message was ignored. Of course, a high rate of rape and especially rapes by strangers is bad for the tourist industry, and the

city council for whom it serves. The fact that the SCPD, the tourist industry and the city council have successfully buried this issue suggests to me that there is a lot more feminist work to be done in Santa Cruz.

BOUNCING BACK Why we’re excited about this year’s Santa Cruz Warriors

What this year’s Santa Cruz Warriors lack in size, they hope to make up for in speed. This is the Santa Cruz team’s first year without a player listed under center. Still, the Warriors’ 14-man training camp roster is loaded with depth at forward and guard. So it won’t be easy trimming two players by Thursday afternoon, Nov. 13.

“I couldn’t tell you one guy who I thought wouldn’t make the team,” says returning guard Kiwi Gardner, “and that’s the God’s honest truth.”

This year’s Warriors, who tip off at home Friday, Nov. 14, had three of this year’s first six D-League draft picks, including second-overall pick Elliot Williams, who played a full season with Philadelphia 76ers last year, and is almost sure to shine in the D-League this year.

Expectations will be high from an energized fan base that has seen the team go to the finals in each of its first two seasons in town.

GT went to the team’s media day and chatted with players, administrators, and coaches about what should be an exciting year for a D-League team loaded with talent.

Here are five reasons we’re excited about this year’s Warriors:

Vote of Confidence Mark Stone wins re-electionto the California State Assembly BY ARIC SLEEPER

I

n his two years in the state legislature, California State Assemblymember Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley) has built a reputation for himself in Sacramento as a policymaker who is willing to work across party lines, and as someone who is, above all, trustworthy.

“At the end of the day, all that matters in Sacramento is whether you can be trusted, all the time, every time,” says Santa Cruz County Treasurer and former Assemblymember Fred Keeley.

“There are only three words that matter in Sacramento, and they’re not interchangeable: yes, no, and maybe. People who operate

thinking that these words are not interchangeable are trustworthy.

The word around the capitol is that Mark Stone is a grown-up, and he is trustworthy.”

Being known as a policymaker who keeps his word is paramount at the capitol, Keeley says.

Although Stone didn’t make any drastic overhauls to state law during his first term, he was able to change some of the nitty-gritty details of existing policies that could potentially make a real difference in the lives of underprivileged Californians.

As chair of the Human Services Committee, for instance, Stone made changes to programs such as

CalWORKS and CalFresh through the passage of AB 1614. The bill reduces or eliminates ATM fees associated with the EBT cards used by the recipients of the program.

Not exactly flashy legislation, but the small change ensures that approximately $19 million goes to the programs’ beneficiaries and not to the banks.

“We’re not only getting money to the people that need it, but we’re making the system work better,” says Stone, who was re-elected for a second term on Nov. 4.

The Warriors have had impressive guards these past two years. And with rising stars like Williams, that tradition looks poised to continue. Another intriguing example is the more mysterious—and untested—Milos Milisavljevic from Serbia. The sixth overall pick in the D-League draft, Milisavljevic was several days late to training camp, because of issues with his work visa. But even before the 21-year-old arrived, Coach Casey Hill told GT he would certainly hope Milisavljevic makes the cut. The point guard shows impressive offensive versatility, lots of speed, sweet passing skills, and an ability to change directions quickly. However, former ESPN analyst Geoff Gilbert cautions that Milisavljevic reminds him of another Serbian— Nemanja “European Derek Rose” Nedovi, who Golden State chose with its first pick in the 2013 draft, and who hasn’t yet shown the kinds of flashy plays many had expected.

Milisavljevic looks amazing on film, but with overseas players it’s hard to say for

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE <11 members of the Assembly’s freshman class, who were voted into the state legislature in 2012.

“The thing I am most happy with is more-process oriented, and it was a bit surprising,” says Stone.

“This group that I came in with—and we have 12 years potentially if the voters keep sending us back—has changed the tone a lot, in the Assembly especially. We are doing a better job of working across the aisle.”

As chair of the Committee of Human Services, Stone made quick friends with his vice-chair, Brian Maienschein (R-San Diego).

“I think very highly of Mark. I have a lot of respect for him,” says Maienschein, of Stone. “I think that

he and I have been a really good example of how Republicans and Democrats can come together to do good work that all political parties can support.”

Stone and Maienschein are part of the first group serving extended 12-year term limits, which voters approved in 2012.

During their freshman terms, Stone and Maienschein worked jointly on several pieces of legislation, and recently coauthored a bill to increase the fines for assisted living facilities that violate state law, which they presented together on the floor of the Assembly and the Senate.

“At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but looking back on it, it was a big step,” says Stone. “I am actually

really proud of having done the right thing in spite of what the culture had been. I think making that culture shift in Sacramento is pretty significant.”

Stone also examined prison reform and recidivism issues through his role on the Public Safety Committee. With the overcrowding problems in jails and prisons across the state, Stone sought out practical ways the legislature could help former inmates reintegrate into society, and ultimately keep them from going back into the prison system.

Working with the DMV and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Stone was able to put a policy in place that will allow an inmate coming out of a state prison to acquire a California >16

The next phase of rail construction begins this month with trestles at Hidden Beach and Wilder Ranch. Dorsa estimates they will be finished in eight weeks.

RTC Deputy Director Luis Mendez has been working on the rail project from the beginning. He looks forward to seeing trains rolling down the tracks again.

“I’ve already been contacted by a freight service that’s interested in receiving shipments of lumber,” said Mendez.

The Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay Railway owns the operating rights and Mendez hopes one day to start passenger service.

FIBER BINDING As Cruzio CEO Peggy Dolgenos strides to the parking lot to see the rented search lights illuminating the sky, she explains that she didn’t want to celebrate her Internet company’s 25th anniversary in

any ordinary fashion.

“We always like to have a big party, and this is the biggest party.

We are always trying to outdo ourselves,” says Dolgenos, gripping a camera in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

Cruzio’s First Friday celebration on Nov. 7 also featured hanging lights, a photo booth, live music, and a red carpet to honor its devoted customers—who Dolgenos says are the only reason the phone and Internet provider-turned-coworking-facility has thrived. She says when she and her husband Chris Neklason started Cruzio 25 years ago, it was largely a hobby, and they didn’t know what direction it would take, although they had a dream.

“We thought it was going to change the world, and maybe bring world peace, which maybe it really hasn’t—the Internet,” she says. “But we thought of it as this big, global change. We thought it was really going to change everything. And that it has.”

It’s full steam ahead for construction on the new La Selva Beach train trestle.

It took about a week to tear down the rusty structure built in 1926, and the new bridge is expected to be completed on schedule, by the end of December. Train service in the county is on hold indefinitely while workers make repairs to the rail line.

“We haven’t had any problems, and things have gone smoothly,” said Michael Dorsa, project manager for Stacy and Witbeck.

The La Selva Beach trestle is the largest of four bridges that needs replacing along the 31-mile rail line that runs from Pajaro to Davenport.

The other bridges are smaller and just need rehabilitation.

About $5.3 million in state transportation improvement funding was set aside to pay for the four projects as part of the purchase agreement

between the Santa Cruz Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) and Union Pacific—which was negotiated for a decade and finalized in 2012.

“The La Selva Beach trestle is a milestone because it’s one of the largest bridges and it brings us one step closer to increased use of the rail corridor,” says RTC spokesperson Karena Pushnik.

Dorsa says the new bridge will be made of American steel. It arrived in pieces from Coolidge, Arizona, where it was manufactured and painted.

“We used the existing cement foundations and reinforced them with rebar and new anchor bolts,” said Dorsa. “First we erect the two towers, next the girders and finally the deck.”

Construction of the new La Selva Beach trestle requires a 600,000 pound crane, the largest in the county, according to R.C. Johnston of the La Selva Beach Improvement Association.

HOLDING GROUND Last year the Santa Cruz Warriors were a strong defensive team, one of the better ones in the league. Considering the loss of a few inches in height, their defense will be different this year, but hopefully just as impressive overall. This small bunch of players might grab fewer rebounds and fewer blocked shots, but could be the kind of team that harasses opposing ball handlers, never letting shooters get comfortable or get into position. The Warriors should force turnovers and disrupt passing lanes. One player embodying this approach is competitive point guard Aaron Craft, who averaged two steals or more per game in each of his four seasons at Ohio State. He’s already blown teammates like Williams away with his footwork in practice.

FULLY VETTED

COACH OF CHILL

Back when experienced baller Maurice Baker started playing professionally, some of his now-teammates would have been more interested in hula hoops than shooting hoops. But hey, before these young’ns start calling Baker nicknames like “Uncle Drew,” teammates will be sure to remember that 35-year-old Baker, who holds D-League records for games played, also has a wealth of knowledge about the game. It isn’t uncommon for other D-League teams to gut nearly their entire rosters from one year to the next, but the Warrior’s 12-man roster has five holdovers from last year who should provide some institutional knowledge and maybe some mentorship, at least during camp.

Other returning veterans include former NBA players Taylor Griffin and Mychel Thompson, older brothers of current NBA superstars Blake and Klay, respectively.

Williams calls second-year Warriors coach Casey Hill “a player coach”—the kind of leader who listens to every voice. Williams isn’t the only one singing praises. “I don’t know how else to say this, but he’s like your boy,” says young forward Greg Howard, who is no longer on the roster. Hill says he makes a point of building good relationships with his players, and if the entire team likes the coaching staff, that creates a bond in the locker room. “If I’m an enforcer, and I rule these guys with an iron fist, we’re not going to get from these guys what we need, which is buy-in,” Hill says. “And you have to have buy-in in the D-League, because if you don’t have it, your locker room gets segmented.”

SO MONEY The basketball gods—NBA commissioners, presumably—are trying out some rule changes for the D-League. The changes

include the option for coaches to challenge certain calls. The new rules will also penalize teams that try to slow the game down by intentionally fouling players at the end of the game who don’t have the ball at the time. It appears, if the changes go over well here, they would head to the big leagues before long.

In Santa Cruz’s administrative arena, the Warriors have announced a partnership with Santa Cruz company PayStand, which will allow fans to buy tickets using Bitcoin, an online currency. As part of the deal, the PayStand logo is being added to the Warriors uniforms. We thought the new jerseys looked tacky, but Hill laughed off the development. “Eh, whatever, as long as the guy in it does what I tell them to do,” Hill says. “I don’t care what they wear. It could be chartreuse, for all I care.”

The Santa Cruz Warriors play the Los Angeles D-Fenders at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 14 in the Kaiser Permanente Arena at 140 Front St., Santa Cruz. tickets are $17-$40.

ID card, given that they meet certain requirements.

“I kept hearing again and again that inmates come out with very few resources, including the fact that they don’t have a valid ID card. It was a bill I couldn’t even believe I had to run,” says Stone.

Stone hopes that having a valid state ID will encourage former inmates to get access to the services they’re entitled to, find a place to live, and acquire gainful employment, which could in turn reduce recidivism rates in California.

“Nobody’s going to want to use their prison ID to get a job,” says Stone. “There was a hurdle that was put in front of these folks, which shouldn’t have been a hurdle.”

Stone would like to find more success in passing bills that promote environmental conservation, like the recent passage of the state’s single-use plastic bag ban, which he voted to approve.

Stone has pushed for similar environmental legislation to reduce plastic ocean pollution and eliminate cigarette filters, but those and some of his other proposed environmental initiatives were not passed into law. Recently appointed co-chair of the Legislative Environmental Caucus, Stone hopes that he and other caucus members can educate his fellow policymakers on the environmental issues facing California and its coastal waters.

There to help him in that mission is current Secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency John Laird, a former California State Assemblymember. With Stone’s affinity for environmental issues, he and Laird have worked together in various capacities.

Laird has had a role in a few of Stone’s environmental bills, and has worked to bring the lawmaker up to speed with certain environmental issues from Gov. Jerry Brown’s perspective. Now that Stone has won re-election, Laird plans to continue to assist the policymaker during his sophomore term.

“I think that, over time, he is going to be one of the great legislators,” says Laird, “and so I feel that it’s important to invest in him.”

As the head of programming for the Santa Cruz Film Festival, Logan Walker watches every film that gets inâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and all the ones that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to have a lot of variety,â&#x20AC;? he says of his general philosophy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do a little bit of everything.â&#x20AC;?

But as much as one might want to see every film in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SCFF, that is literally impossible, since some films screen at the same time.

More than two decades in, Rainbow Theater isn’t backing down from their brutally honest approach to issues BY ANNE-MARIE HARRISON

ainbow Theater is known for grappling with topics that most people avoid even talking about. This year will be no different, as the UCSC group dives head-first into the touchy topics of race, gender, sex, class, and culture again this year with its annual three-week

HOT TICKET

production series. Now in its 21st year, Rainbow is still the only multicultural theater arts troupe in the UC system, and these students are completely unafraid to get under your skin.

“They’ve been intensely working really hard, and they really want to showcase

their talents and energize the community,” says company producer Don Williams, speaking in a volume slightly under a yell via speaker phone so that the conversation can include Rainbow members Miguel Sarabia and Aleya Caballero. “The arts are a great tool for gaining an understanding

of various cultures. It sets up an avenue of exchange of ideas and identities. All cultures really bring something to the table and it’s high time that we as a people, across the board here at the university, start to embrace that.”

PROGRAM A — NOV. 13, 15, 21

OPEN HOUSE

“Intimate Apparel” by Lynn Nottage: “Intimate Apparel” follows Esther, a seamstress in 1905, who makes lingerie for upper class New York City women. “She falls in love with this young man from Panama, so there’s this love exchange that goes on. And yet she’s not only dressing a call woman, she’s also dealing with a high-class woman, and both like the same kind of clothing,” says Williams. “It’s a story that deals with relationships and betrayal—and broken hearts.”

“Goodbye My Feleni” by David F.Mamea: “The Asian Pacific Islander play is based on the war,” says Miguel Sarabia, UCSC student and director for Poet’s Corner. Set in 1942, the piece is more personal. “It’s focusing more on the mental than what’s going on outside. There are flashback scenes about the war, and there are a lot of scenes where they’re fighting against each other.” Aleya Caballero, also a student and cast member in “Radio Mambo,” chimes in: “It’s about the brotherhood of the soldiers and their relationships in the army.”

“Radio Mambo: Culture Clash Invades Miami”: Caballero explains that this show is more socially critical. “It’s a satire about culture and class,” she says. The play features a series of vignettes adapted from taped interviews in Miami, chronicling the unique experiences of people from all ethnicities and backgrounds—Haitians, Bahamians, Cubans, and every other ingredient in the mixed cultural stew of the Florida city.

“Originally, the play was supposed to be performed by three men but we have a really diverse cast of men and women of different racial backgrounds to play each of the individual roles,” says Caballero.

Poet’s Corner: Unlike the other plays in this month’s production, which are student acted and directed, Poet’s Corner is also written entirely by students. Every kind of art form is encouraged:

“This collective is thirteen poets, and they all have different talents.

It’s all based on the theme of growth,” says Sarabia, “How are you going to grow from what you’re saying?” Williams adds that Poet’s Corner is one of the most popular acts because students describe their own experiences, sometimes painful, sometimes humorous, and often deal with difficult topics.

“Anyone who comes to this show will walk away with a greater understanding about themselves.

The students work hard on reflecting a variety of issues that affect them individually and culturally,” he says.

PROGRAM C — NOV. 5-7 “Big, Bad and Beautiful” by Alicia Fernandez: “The title is really what the play’s about—it’s about larger people and embracing their beauty, breaking from societal norms,” says Caballero describing the collection of vignettes, poems, and comedic sketches. “Everyone in the cast has a really high bar for themselves, and I’m excited to see them surpass what we expect.”

The individual parts focus on the experience of being overweight in a society which claims to champion individuality. It shows that women “of size” can be equally sexy, fun, and raucous as society’s limiting mold.

“Rainbot” featuring special guests: Closing the Rainbow Theater program will be a medley of dance and movement. “It’s the baby of Rainbow coming into its second year of existence,” says Williams.

“It will definitely consume you with rhythms and a variety of dance styles from around the world.” Also completely studentled, Rainbot will feature Rainbow’s dance troupe as well as other groups from UCSC for a show of various genres. “You will find some stepping, some hip hop, and a variety of other forms that will be brought upon the stage.”

Info: All shows will be held at the Cultural Arts and Diversity Resource Center at UCSC, 1156 High St., Santa Cruz, 459-1861. Free for students, $7-$10 general admission.

Jewel Theatre delivers witty backstage comedy ‘Enter the Guardsman’ BY LISA JENSEN

32

I

t’s a plot as old as the theater itself: a husband disguises himself as another man to try to woo his own wife and test her fidelity.

It was already a little creaky when Hungarian dramatist Ferenc Molnar made it the basis of his 1910 farce The Guardsman, which was translated into a popular vehicle for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine in 1924. But it gets a fresh update, with lively songs and an irresistible backstage setting in Enter the Guardsman, the second offering in Jewel Theatre Company’s 10th Anniversary season.

With a witty script by Scott Wentworth, the show features original songs from composer Craig Bohmler and lyricist Marion Adler. JTC fans will rejoice to hear that this is the same

trio whose earlier collaboration, the terrific film noir musical Gunmetal Blues, was a popular JTC production a couple of seasons back. The source material isn’t quite as dynamic for Enter the Guardsman, but director Art Manke’s impressive staging, Kent Dorsey’s wonderful set and lighting design, and a great cast make for an entertaining evening of theater.

Set in the early Downton Abbey era just before the First World War, the story unfolds entirely backstage at a theater, where a popular actor and actress hold forth every night onstage.

But after six months of marriage in real life, the Actor (David Ledingham) is beginning to wonder if his wife is growing bored with him. He worries that she’s reached “the maximum

length of her romantic attention span.”

Indeed, his wife and onstage partner, the Actress (Marcia Pizzo), fears that the routine of married life may be the death of romance. “Marriage is a very long run,” dryly agrees her Dresser (the always effective Diana Torres Koss) and backstage confidante.

Prowling about on the edge of the action is the Playwright, played to sly and silky perfection by David Arrow. He acts as both the narrator, drawing the audience into the tale, and instigator for the drama onstage. Ever in search of new twists on old plots, and eager to find out “what happens to romance after the curtain falls,” he provides a sounding board for the Actor's worst fears.

It doesn’t take long for the Actor

to work himself into a frenzy.

Determined to test his wife’s loyalty, he tells her he has an out-of-town engagement for a few days, then disguises himself as a Guardsman, a dashing military man complete with foreign accent and fake goatee, cap, boots, and a chest full of brass and braid. Taking credit for the “anonymous” roses (sent by her husband) that have been flooding her dressing room, he presents himself to the Actress backstage as a devoted admirer—and willing seducer. What will she do?

The plot ticks along like clockwork over the play’s fleet couple of hours, but it’s the production that earns the kudos here. The cast manages to turn what is basically a story of insecurity, wanderlust, and mistrust into something light and breezy. As full of bravura as he is, Ledingham’s Actor is never so pompous that he loses his likeability, while Pizzo’s charming Actress is both gutsy and yearning.

The backstage team of Koss, Steven Guire Knight, Allen Darby and Danielle Crook are great fun as a singing Greek chorus, commenting on the action.

All of them do justice to Adler’s clever songs. The ensemble piece, “She’s A Little Off,” is a wry showstopper. Arrow and Koss perform a delicious tango to the showbiz paean, “Drama,” and Arrow delivers the Playwright’s ode to the writing craft, “They Die,” with plenty of verve—all of them ably accompanied by Musical Director Colin Hannon on piano.

B. Modern’s deft costumes evoke the period, especially the Actress’s elegant, layered gowns. But the real star of the show is Dorsey’s brilliant set, a plain brick wall behind the actors’ dressing tables on which is projected the interior of a grand theatre—its audience facing us—to which the Actor and Actress play their parts in pantomime, beyond a scrim, whenever they go “onstage” to perform. It’s a nifty extra layer of illusion in show that celebrates the place where art and fantasy collide.

The Jewel Theatre Company production of ‘Enter The Guardsman’ plays through Nov. 30 at Center Stage, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz. For ticket information, call 425-7506, or visit JewelTheatre.net.

Eye Music will showcase poetry performance by American Sign Language masters BY CHRISTINA WATERS languages, as rich as spoken ones,” says Polansky.

“Even English poetry is difficult, but ASL poetry really plays with the language. With signed poetry you’re adding yet another modality—physical gesture. The face, the body, the hand, space itself—all of this is really exploited in the poetry.” Anyone who has watched transfixed as an expert signer creates a full-body performance while communicating nuanced ideas, metaphors, and sentences knows what he means.

While at Dartmouth, where he held a chair in music for two decades before joining the UCSC faculty, Polansky followed his own eclectic line of inquiry. “I am interested in new ideas,” admits the inventor and explorer of algorithmically triggered

melodies. One of those ideas was “the very different way that language gets formed” by American Sign Language. And so Polansky set out to learn it himself, taking years of class work, including a stint at Gallaudet University, the country’s leading university for the deaf. “After a life as a musician making sound that had no ‘meaning,’ I was curious about the opposite, a world with lots of meaning and no sound,” he says. Based at the Mills Center for Contemporary Music for ten years, Polansky helped develop the computer music language HMSL. His widely-recorded and performed compositions often utilize abstract sound explorations ranging from mutating jazz riffs to organized improvisations for strings, with gossamer electronic detours from a

ffable and intense in a self-effacing way, Larry Polansky could easily be dubbed a renaissance man if he weren’t so modest about his far-ranging expertise.

Musician, composer, software designer, experimental educator, and tireless scholar, Polansky is the force behind the upcoming—and unprecedented—Eye Music: American Sign Language Poetry and Performance Festival unfolding at UCSC this week.

Gathering some of the masters of an artform created to be seen and not heard, Polansky has curated three days of live poetry performance and panel exchanges in a field rarely experienced by the hearing community.

“Signed languages are full

central event horizon.

While teaching music at Dartmouth, Polansky tried out an experimental class in ASL. “I wanted to do something with my interest in ASL, even though I’m a pretty lousy signer,” he says. In 10 weeks his students and guest scholars explored the breadth and scope of poetry and performance in American Sign Language. “Many non-deaf have no idea that there is a poetic tradition within the deaf community. I dug into the performance traditions—we all have these fringe communities as musicians—and found there’s a whole other world within ours that’s almost invisible. Translation is a real hurdle,” he admits. “We’ll have interpreters at the festival events, but not translators.” Poetry even in spoken language is difficult to translate, he reminds me, which is why we try to read poetry in its native language.

Polansky put together the upcoming Festival—Eye Music—the way he created his experimental ASL course.

“I advocate for this community and I’ve gotten to meet the people whose work I love, and hopefully help a fascinating culture expand its reach.”

A Mellon Grant provided Polansky “a very generous amount of time and funds for traveling and meeting with this interesting community. I met as many of the key artists as I could,” he says—some of whom will be at Eye Music.

“I wanted to bring major folks from far away, as well as those within the local community.” He mentions visiting artists Karen Christie, Peter Cook, Patrick Graybill, as well as local activist poet and mentor, Ella Lentz. “She’s very involved in radical deaf politics. She’ll be at the festival.”

Polansky believes that “people who come to these events will be impressed by the energy, eloquence and beauty of this work.”

Polansky’s own wide-ranging body of work converges in the quest to bring people and ideas into rich collaborative encounters. “I have a music life. One question tends to lead to another, each one suggests the next,” he says with a grin, and nods at an unfinished composition on a music stand.

PLANT TALK AT UCSC Professor emeritus of molecular, cell, and developmental biology Lincoln Taiz will open the 2014 Emeriti Lecture at UCSC this Wednesday with a talk on the challenges of producing enough food for a growing global population, and how climate change has presented innumerable obstacles in this effort.

Taiz is known for working on plant cell walls, cell expansion, and enzymes, but his research also includes uptake and tolerance of metals by plants, stomata, gas exchange and botany. His talk will outline the bitter reality that by 2050 there are projected to be up to 10 billion people on earth, and analyses indicate that climate change is severely impeding the agricultural productivity necessary to provide for future generations.

MUSIC CALENDAR

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

JOSHUA LOWE AND THE JUNCOS There is no misunderstanding just how important music is to Joshua Lowe.

“I’ll love my child and wife until I die, and I will play music,” says Lowe, who sings and plays the guitar and banjo in his band, Joshua Lowe and the Juncos.

“Those are pretty much the only concrete truths in my life.”

His passion shines through in his music, and for fans who have been waiting for the band’s next project—their debut album, At the Feet of Old Bristlecone, came out in 2010, and 2011’s Live at the Kuumbwa is their most recent release—there is good news: more of the band’s rich, acoustic, old-time folk and Americana is on its way.

NOVEMBER 12-18, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

“We have an album with some new players, and we’re really excited about it,” Lowe says of the record, which will be called Is the Moon Shining Still?

“I’ve been saying we’ll release it in March, so hopefully we will.”

44

Having new players on the album has not proved problematic for Lowe, as his live shows frequently use a variety of lineups, depending on who is available.

In fact he prefers to do things this way because it excites him and keeps him on his toes, creatively. Lowe also knows that having a varied lineup—this show, for example, will include lap steel guitar luminary Patti Maxine—creates unique performances that will keep audiences from getting the same thing twice. This helps him keep his focus on playing the music and having fun.

“I was joking with a friend that we’re not professionals; we play the farm league, like the baseball metaphor,” says Lowe.

“I’m totally cool with that. I’m happy to get out there, put on the uniform, swing the bat around. That’s why I do it. When I’m in that place, connecting with the audience and feeling gratitude, I have way more fun.” BRIAN PALMER INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, November 21.

WEDNESDAY 11/12 INDIE

MAC DEMARCO The go-to description for Canadian indie darling Mac DeMarco is “slacker.” It’s understandable, considering the dreamy, down-tempo shuffle of his music, and the goofball, seemingly stoned nature of his onstage persona. But “slacker” seems a bit of a stretch considering not only the fact that he’s released two critically acclaimed LPs (and an EP) since 2012, but also his unrelenting touring schedule.

He’s also a captivating songwriter who pulls from the Beatles and the Kinks as much as from the traditionally offkilter acts like Jonathan Richman and Pavement. Even if it’s all just an act—his real name is Vernor Winfield McBriare Smith IV, for God’s sake—it’s a pretty convincing one, and the music isn’t bad either.

debut album was named iTunes’ Reggae Album of the year, and the group’s sophomore release, Ways & Means, debuted at number one on both iTunes’ and Billboard’s Reggae charts, thus cementing their status as one of reggae’s up-and-coming bands. With over 270,000 Facebook likes and having toured the festival circuit heavily in recent years—not to mention sharing the stage with the likes of Rebelution and Iration—The Green are proving to be an increasingly undeniable force.

Their most recent album is last year’s Hawai’i ’13. BRIAN PALMER

and Gorillaz’s debut record), the trio, which formed in 1999, have a total of two records to their name. The first is a fun genre-establishing sci-fi concept album. The second, which took them 13 years to make, is a grim, elaborate continuation of the post-apocalyptic nightmare. It features some strange guest appearances, such as Joseph Gordon Levitt, David Cross, Zack De La Rocha, the Lonely Island and Mike Patton. AC

NINA GERBER + CHRIS WEBSTER Nina Gerber is forever linked with the late, great Kate Wolf. Not only did she accompany Wolf for nearly 10 years, but Gerber has been a quiet force for keeping Wolf's legacy alive and introducing her music to new audiences. Chris Webster, best known as co-frontwoman and songwriter for the Northern California band Mumbo Gumbo, has established herself as a soulful and capable solo artist and multi-faceted collaborator. Together,

SUNDAY 11/16 BLUEGRASS / FOLK

BANJO EXTRAVAGANZA My sister-in-law has zero tolerance for the banjo, offhandedly dismissing any song that features the instrument. This would not be the night for her. But for those of us who have an appreciation for the banjo's rich, cross-cultural history as well as the different sound

and techniques of those who've mastered it, the Banjo Extravaganza is an opportunity to see some of the best in the game do their thing. Featuring Tony Furtado, Mark Johnson and Bill Evans, the night is gearing up to be a highenergy, pick-your-heart-out affair.

TUESDAY 11/18 SURF/ROCK

LOS STRAITJACKETS + DEKE DICKERSON The name of the new Los Straitjackets album is Los Straitjackets: Deke Dickerson Sings the Instrumental Hits.

The title manages to sum up both the gimmicky-yet-loveable sense of humor of the long-rocking surfabilly band, and also give a heads-up to fans that the mighty Deke Dickerson, whose guitar and songwriting comfort zone includes swing, rockabilly, country, rock 'n' roll and more, has teamed up with the band. The question on my mind: Will Dickerson don the traditional Los Straitjackets wrestling mask? Find out Tuesday.

All you need to know about the effect this Milwaukee-based band can have on you is summed up in this one fact: Milwaukee’s mayor recently declared October 22 to be Field Report Day in the city. Fortunately this is not an empty award, because these guys have some chops. Led by singer and guitarist Chris Porterfield, the band’s just-released sophomore album, Marigolden, is 10 tracks of sparse, evocative folk that is equal parts beautiful, tragic, joyful and sad. BP

not only released a documentary film on themselves less than a year into their existence, but referenced one of the most famous rock concert films ever, The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese’s brilliant documentary on the Band’s final performance. The Hard Working Americans titled their film The First Waltz, which makes you wonder if they have grandiose ideas about themselves, or are just having fun. It seems to be the latter. The members include folk singer Todd Snider, Widespread Panic bassist Dave Schools, Chris Robinson Brotherhood guitarist Neal Casal, keyboardist Chad Staehly and drummer Duane Trucks. AC

Christmas and trains go so well together. Maybe it's the idea of warm and cozy train cars on a cold night, or maybe it's the nostalgia that imbues the holidays and train culture.

Whatever it is, it's definitely a thing.

On our very own Train to Christmas Town, based on the book of the same name, passengers get to climb aboard the adventure, riding the rails to Christmas Town with cocoa and cookies, Christmas carols, a ticketpunching conductor, and one very special, jolly guest. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

SPACE COWBOYS Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and David Gyasi are tasked with finding a new planet in ‘Interstellar.’

Starry Knights NOVEMBER 12-18, 2014 | GTWEEKLY.COM | SANTACRUZ.COM

Space pilots race to save humanity in Christopher Nolan’s thoughtful epic ‘Interstellar’ BY LISA JENSEN

50

N

obody has ever accused Christopher Nolan of thinking too small. A self-made master of the brainy action thriller, his films are as crammed with ideas and concepts as vehicle chases and explosions (although there are plenty of those too). From the brilliant intricacies of Memento and The Prestige, to The Dark Knight (the best and broodiest of his Batman trilogy, with its good/ evil doppelganger undercurrent), to the wildly imaginative Inception, Nolan knows how to deliver a feast of a film that keeps viewers chewing over it for days.

His latest, the sci-fi epic, Interstellar, will be no exception—although in this case, it takes a lot longer for Nolan’s cool, cerebral storytelling

to start pulling the viewer in. Those who categorically dislike sci-fi will find much to protest here: lengthy sequences of gigantic pieces of CGI hardware lumbering through space while orchestral music swells on the soundtrack or astronauts floating around in zero-gravity. Placing star Matthew McConaughey front and center most of the time feels like a naked stab at down-home folksiness to soften the film’s cold edges.

And yet, just when the ponderousness of it all threatens to take over the film, the prickly human element that Nolan and his co-screenwriter brother, Jonathan Nolan, have been seeding into the plot from the earliest scenes finally starts to pay off. The bigger the story gets (and, as usual for Nolan, its sheer

scope is impressive), the more key character relationships start to matter.

Yes, there are viable characters to root for, and as the story progresses, we find ourselves completely engaged by who the true hero turns out to be.

A work of cautionary speculative fiction, Interstellar begins in a toonear future where climate change is eroding Earth’s resources. An engineer and former astronaut called Coop (McConaughey), a widower, now works a farm with his father-in-law (John Lithgow) and two kids. The space program has long since been disbanded, and food production is the most critical work on the planet.

Crops like wheat and barley have already died out, and while corn can still be raised, deadly dust storms periodically sweep across the land,

destroying crops and lungs.

A mysterious presence in her book-lined room that Coop’s little daughter, Murph (Mackenzie Foy), calls a “ghost” draws coordinates in the drifting sand one night that leads to a hidden installation, way out in the boonies. It turns out to be the last vestiges of the NASA space program, under the direction of Professor Brand (Michael Caine) and his daughter, Amelia (Anne Hathaway). Coop is invited to join a team of explorers who will be flying through a newly discovered wormhole on a quest to find another habitable planet for the human race. Although it causes a rupture with a distraught Murph, Coop accepts, hoping to be back in a couple of years.

But time, space, and priorities all get shaken up once Coop, Amelia, and their crew (Wes Bentley and David Gyasi) shoot through the wormhole.

On one planet they visit, one hour equals 23 years of Earth time, and we start to feel every minute of it during huge sequences involving rogue waves as high as mountains, trackless wastes of white rock, and lengthy, elaborate docking sequences in space—expensive-looking shots that all become a bit tedious.

But the life-sized human drama keeps the film grounded and the viewer involved. The evolution of Coop’s relationship with daughter Murph (played as an adult by Jessica Chastain, as the narrative time-loops around) is especially nicely wrought, and provides the movie’s emotional payoff. Surprisingly adroit and funny byplay is also mined from the crew’s interaction with their on-board robots, decidedly un-anthropomorphic slabs of hard metal; one is so droll in every emergency (voice by the great Bill Irwin) they have to ratchet down its humor level from 100 to 75 percent.

The science of space/time travel may be more trouble than its worth to keep up with as the film hurtles toward its conclusion, and it could have been streamlined by about half an hour to sustain its focus. Still, Interstellar is a voyage worth taking.

INTERSTELLAR ***(out of four) With Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain. Written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan. Directed by Christopher Nolan.

A Paramount release. Rated R. 169 minutes.

Adapted from the S.J. Watson bestseller and directed by Rowan Joffe. (R) 92 minutes.

Scott Adsit and Ryan Potter head the voice cast, with guest voices provided by Damon Wayans Jr., Genesis Rodriguez, James Cromwell, and Maya Rudolph. Don Hall and Chris Williams co-direct. (PG) 108 minutes.

BIRDMAN or THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE Michael Keaton (formerly Tim Burton’s Batman) is inspired casting for this black comedy about a movie actor,

once famed for playing an onscreen superhero called Birdman, trying to reinvent his career and himself by mounting a Broadway play.

Filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Babel, Biutiful) delivers dark, but often scathingly funny observations on pop culture, celebrity, and priorities, but with plenty of nifty style; the film unspools in a series of long, intricately connected (but not nausea-inducing) tracking shots as it follows various characters around through warrens of backstage passages, in and out of dressing rooms, on and offstage, and down Broadway itself. The soundtrack is mostly edgy percussion, and the hyperreality of the way the camera follows characters around in their personal dramas is balanced by a touch of magic realism as Keaton’s character tries to suppress his cynical alter ego—in full Birdman regalia—who urges him to forget acting and become a movie star again. A few too many false endings dull the story’s impact, and the lines between metaphor and narrative get a little blurry. But Iñárritu makes cogent points about media and fame and our quest to be “important;” he also elicits fine performances, especially from Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Amy Ryan, and Keaton himself. (R) 119 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

CITIZENFOUR While researching a project about government surveillance in the post-9/11 world, documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras began receiving encrypted emails from “citizen four” about skullduggery in the NSA. Her informant was Edward Snowden, and this real-life thriller of a doc is built around Poitras’ interviews with Snowden in Hong Kong as the NSA scandal broke. (R) 114 minutes.

DEAR WHITE PEOPLE Four black students at an Ivy League college find themselves in the middle of a controversy when a white fraternity stages an African-American theme party in this cross-cultural satire written and directed by Justin Simien.

Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Teyonah Parris, and Brandon P Bell head the cast. (R) 100 minutes.

FORCE MAJEURE Sweden’s official Foreign Language entry for the 2015 Academy Awards, Ruben Ostlund’s cerebral thriller revolves around a young family on a skiing vacation in the French Alps. When danger threatens, the drama hinges not on a potential natural disaster, but the splitsecond response of oh-so-fallible humans in its path—provoking what may be irreparable damage to the family unit. Ostlund’s design is fascinating in the way the film’s central incident becomes a litmus test for gender, family, and even age issues among all who witness it, including the audience. It’s a provocative story with a neat, twistu finale that suggests no one is immune to human frailty. (R) 120 minutes. In Swedish with English subtitles. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

INTERSTELLAR Reviewed this issue. (R) 169 minutes. (***)—Lisa Jensen.

LAGGIES Keira Knightley stars as a case of arrested development, a woman approaching 30 uncertain of how to jump-start her life, who spends a week hanging out with her new teenage girlfriend (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her single dad (Sam Rockwell), in this offbeat romantic comedy from filmmaker Lynn Shelton (Humpday; Your Sister’s Sister). (R) 100 minutes.

NIGHTCRAWLER Jake Gyllenhaal stars in this thriller as a guy trying to survive in Los Angeles who gets sucked into the underworld of freelance crime journalism, chasing stories of car wrecks, fires, murder and mayhem while the city sleeps. Rene Russo, Bill; Paxton, and Riz Ahmed co-star for director Dan Gilroy. (R) 117 minutes.

PRIDE A clutch of hip young gay and lesbian activists from London and the working-class denizens of a remote Welsh coal-mining village made history together with an audacious show of solidarity during Britain’s lengthy Mineworkers Strike of 1984. Now their story is dramatized with plenty of heart, humor, and verve in this crowd-pleasing valentine to diversity from director Matthew Warchus. Ben Schnetzer is solid as real-life activist Mark Ashton. (R) 120 minutes. (***1/2)—Lisa Jensen.

F&D

FOOD & DRINK Beautiful pink wine looks great with a holiday meal, and among my favorites are the splendid Vin Gris de Cigare 2013, from Bonny Doon Vineyard. This beautiful blend of Rhône grapes just doesn’t quit looking good and tasting lively.

It has an under $20 price point, too. If you like something a bit more serious, as in “this is a serious wine!” then zero in on the BDV flagship, Le Cigare Volant.

Laden with spice, earth, fruit and complexity, it could be the ultimate holiday wine. This lovely creature—2009, 2010 are great vintages—will help smooth over any glitches in the Big Dinner.

Who has not suffered near-death experience over lumpy gravy, cold mashed potatoes, indifferent stuffing, or drier-than-the-Sahara turkey? Yes, I’m talking to you.

Simply pour another glass of this splendid blend of Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault and you’ll be able to look your mother-in-law in the eye without blinking. More ideas next week, but start planning now.

KALE SALAD 2.0 Our food writer wants you to trade out those cranberries for dried blueberries or currants.

All Hail Kale

T

ired of that delicious but predictable green bean casserole? Bored with a salad that doesn’t fit in with stuffing and mashed potatoes? How about an updated kale salad this Thanksgiving? Stay with me. Dried blueberries could be the new cranberries. After my fling with blueberries and kale salad at the Philadelphia airport, I have been hankering to try something at home, so I converted a terrific kale salad recipe I got from enlightened home chef Dee Vogel and here is the result: 4-5 tbsp dried blueberries—soak them overnight in 10 tbsp white balsamic vinegar. Next day, drain

the blueberries and set aside.

2 small heads of dino kale. Remove central spine and shred into a micro zest.

Mix together: 2 tbsp white balsamic 2 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tbsp olive oil 1-2 tbsp honey 1 tsp salt OK, now you’re ready to toss the dressing into a big bowl along with the shredded kale, the blueberries and, 4-5 tbsp toasted pine nuts.

Have a chunk of parmesan reggiano handy to grate on top of your salad.

Toss everything together 20 minutes or so before dinner.

Mix it all together obsessively (i.e. a lot!) and then taste. You will want to grate lots of parmesan into this, allowing the sweet, tart, and salty to create what will be your favorite kale salad ever. This is the perfect partner for turkey.

Make it often, and try substituting cranberries or currants for the blueberries. They’re all good!

HOLIDAY WINE PAIRINGS Turkey, ham, or some creative vegetarian entree—all Thanksgiving meals love to have a wine that romances the main dish. But this isn’t quite the occasion for that heroically, bigshouldered Cab. I’m thinking Rosé.

El Salchichero, Garden Variety Cheese, Verve Coffee Roasters and Venus Spirits are among the finalists for the 2015 Good Food Awards. Selected from over 1,400 entries nationwide, these local food and drink artisans were recognized for creating signature products of quality, superior taste and also for being made within a sustainable business environment.

Congratulations to all! The winners will be announced on Jan. 8—stay tuned.

OVER THE TOP? You be the judge. While looking online for a hotel in Berlin (don’t ask), I wandered into the Regent Hotel’s restaurant menu and found this dessert: For $28, “Sweet, fruit-tea smoked celeriac, candied black olive sponge cake, and lightly jellied woodruff. With pecan nut and Tahitian vanilla ice cream.” Does this mean that a mere seasonal tart is too obvious?

Too simplistic? Go ahead—read that dessert description again. Can you say “apocalypse?”

t’s time to start thinking about which wines will take center stage at our holidays—be it to serve with dinner or to give as a gift.

I highly recommend this delightful wine I came across recently: River Run’s Carignane 2012 ($25).

Sometimes known as the “forgotten grape,” Carignane wine is not always easy to find, even though this grape variety is one of the most widely planted in the world. But expert winemaker and winery owner J.P. Pawloski is making some really beautiful Carignane, from a vineyard on the San Andreas Fault south of Hollister.

“Dry farmed, the vineyard is a mixture of granite and limestone which brings the ideal acid and pH values to the wine, and produces the most flavorful Carignanes I’ve ever tasted,” Pawloski says, and I would agree with him on that.

What we have in this Carignane is a moderate-bodied wine with a delicate spicy bouquet, ample body and light tannins, which can be enjoyed with a wide variety of foods.

Think turkey, meats and salmon. But sipping it solo is also an ideal way to simply enjoy a well-made wine and all its nuances.

Pawloski also makes Zinfandel, Syrah, a delicious late-harvest Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Merlot, and a blend of several different varietals which he calls Cote d’Aromas—all available now. This adventurous vintner also makes Négrette, another of those hard-to-find “forgotten grapes” which turns into a deep-purple nectar with

a silky mouthfeel and deep tannin structure. I also tried Pawloski’s 2012 Tempranillo recently, which was also very impressive, but I think he’s sold out of it.

Started in 1978, this family-operated winery has built up a fine reputation, and produced an abundance of awardwinning wines over the years. River Run wines are available in many local markets and restaurants. I recently had a glass of their superb 2010 Viognier at the Hollins House, and Pawloski sells this wine at his tasting room for only $15.

The winery is well worth a visit, but it’s open only a couple of times a year. Fortunately, there’s a Winter Open House coming up on Nov. 15 and 16. Contact the winery for more information. River Run Vintners, 65 Rogge Lane, Watsonville, 726-3112.

J

How much work goes into making chicken mole?

Jose Hernandez: Mole has almost 20 ingredients, and don’t forget anything, because if you do, the flavor is going to change. It takes an hour, because after you use the blender, you have to wait 20, 25 minutes. It’s not easy. If you want to do it faster, it’s not going to work.

The flavor is going to be different.

The color is going to be different.

Is it common to mix soy sauce and orange juice, as you do in your Chicken Nitza?

No, sometimes you have to try new things. Like the downtown veggie [burrito]. I was thinking people

want salads, but we don’t have salads. We sell burritos. We have to make a burrito with salad inside.

That downtown burrito is new, right?

Yeah, that’s new stuff—the downtown, the flautas, the wet burrito with green salsa. The green salsa is so good. We kept the mole, the Nitza and the [chicken] primavera, because it has a lot of history.

You’re always smiling. Do you ever get stressed out here?

Yeah, to be honest. It’s so much stress right here. If you feel bad or you don’t want to go to work, you just call, right? Maybe you were going to say ‘I’m sick,’ and you don’t go. Here, you don’t have a choice. You have to come. No one else is going to come except for you and do your things, or pay your bills, or pay taxes. It’s more stress.

It’s more time. Sometimes I say, ‘What should I do?’ But it’s better, because you’re your own boss, and no one is going to fire you or say ‘You have to move go to that city.’

That’s a good thing.

+ RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES NEW PATHWAYS, RHYTHMS AND WAYS OF BEING The week is filled with heavenly squares, triangles, rectangles, lines and conjunctions as the planets accelerate their interactions with each other. We are preparing for December’s Uranus (in Aries) square Pluto (in Capricorn) – a persistent square causing uncompromising change in humanity. Aries/ Capricorn are cardinal signs. Cardinal signs initiate new realities, squares challenge and lead us onto new pathways. They awaken us new ideas, archetypes, rhythms and new ways of being.

As Saturn (Dweller on the Threshold) disciplines us to face truths and then relinquish the past, Uranus (the new order) presents us with breakdowns Pluto transforms everything, everywhere relentlessly. Aries rules all things new. Capricorn rules governments, leaders and the entire structure of our civilization.

Everything’s changing. It needs to. The old is exhausted. We are too.

Neptune (the fish god, the waters of life) in Pisces (saving the world) turns stationary direct Sunday morning as Venus enters Sag Sunday night. Sun joins Saturn (in Scorpio) Tuesday. Venus and Scorpio

work with money and resources. We are being moved forward globally into new economic directions, new archetypes. A revolution is occurring. All of this humanity needs for the present unreal financial system to shift toward an economy based on principles of sharing (Aquarian).

Day by day, transit by transit, planet by planet, sign by sign, over time this reorientation (Scorpio’s work, from the solar plexus to the heart of the matter) will occur. At first we will have suffering. Then awakened realization.

Venus in Sag seeks justice for everyone. We display feelings truthfully and directly. We’re less fearful in interactions, more present, more attractive, forthright and adventurous. We also become more hungry.

Nov. 17-18 the Leonid meteor showers enter Earth’s atmosphere creating silvery shooting stars.

The showers (from comet Tempel-Tuttle) peak in the dark night sky Tuesday. We look up and see light falling to earth,

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

You become deeply intuitive, your business sense soars, especially if working with others, unusual for you. Yet this is how you move forward. If passions ebb and flow, and at times stopping altogether, it’s because you’re assessing which path to take, which behaviors are beneficial, and what resources to use most effectively. Your work in the world daily becomes more potent. Be sure to add love to all endeavors. Your will can either destroy or create.

Are you feeling overworked, over extended, tired early in the evening and awakening before dawn? Bananas and milk (raw) and protein before bed help. Are you readying your home for the holiday season? Do not overspend this year.

Use resources already accumulated. They’re beautiful and enough to make the coming season fill with light, beauty and your loving generosity.

You tend to those you love with words of care and tenderness, unusual for you. However it’s articulating what you feel. Seeking closeness, your attitude is one of benevolence, commitment and loyalty. On the other hand you are physically drained and must rest much each day in order to accomplish small tasks. Tend carefully to health and limit extraneous activities.

GEMINI May22–June20 Your spirit needs art and creativity each day lest you become dry as a thistle in desert heat. You should not gamble. However many will and for moments you find prosperity but it’s as fleeting as a tumbleweed. You find yourself flirting at times, bringing loved ones closer, then walking away at a moment’s notice. You will learn constancy someday, when another walks away.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 Do you have a sense that others care for you, tending and nurturing when you’re in need? Nurture all associations and interactions in your life so you feel the real possibility of care from others. Do you sometimes feel separated from loved ones? It’s hard to share and be close from afar. However whatever interactions you have with them are deep and profound. Your love is an art form.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You may never want to leave home except for a very short time. Careful with implements (tools) in daily life. They become dangerous if not handled with awareness. With great assurance you can now prepare your body for utmost fitness through dietary and exercise choices. Interactions with others may feel very difficult (Plutonian). Try to have right relations anyway.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

Contact: lsbfaire@yahoo.com sponsored by La Selva Beach Improvement Association

Begin to be conservative with money and resources, important later when resources will be needed. However, there may arise some material necessity that is expensive (buy it) or someone in great need (help them). You will find these choices appropriate at times. Always tithe first. Social interactions are important. Should you find no one to talk with, the garden devas will listen. And respond.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Is your heart on your sleeve, in the air, acting like a shooting star attempting to share something about yourself with everyone, everywhere? Sometimes you slip behind the curtain, a bit fearful of revealing to others your vulnerabilities, desires and aspirations. When you connect with others love is released. Love underlies your entire world of events. You deserve everything.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Parts of you are shy about intimacy. It hides behind your sense of adventure. You attempt to be cheery even under stress. You hide behind laughter, your love of food, family.

Soon there will be new a call to service. It’s searching for you. Each joy and crisis brings it closer. A door opened. You walked through it with grace. The unobtainable became the obtained. You’re laughing and happy.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You have the ability at this time to organize social events that are a healing and comfort for others. Your sense of justice, ethics and aspiration to serve humanity allow you to comfort and counsel those who mourn, those in need, unnoticed, unseen, overlooked and left out. Slowly your personal power and capabilities for doing good are recognized. Each opportunity reveals another. Continue up the ladder. It leads to the stars. A crisis becomes a hidden opportunity. Look for it!

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Your imagination will give rise to great ideas leading to feeling of confidence, success and no longer being held back.

There’s a secret to personal success. Allow your heart to speak. Not your desires but your heart. They are different.

Tell the truth about how you feel at all times. Speak of your needs, hopes, wishes. This makes you authentic. Those in touch with their hearts will recognize you.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In years to come, a group project will begin to manifest. It will have profound effects upon humanity. The seeds have been planted and although you feel it will never come about much is occurring in many unseen ways. Gather flower and vegetable seeds. Sow them everywhere—in fields and meadows and small patches of soil. Even indoors. This (seeds, sowing, growing) is the metaphor to carry you forward into the future with calmness, courage, surety and stillness.
