Best Around Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Ideasâ&#x20AC;? (Cover, March 20): The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History is one of the best museums Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been to. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it was like before Nina Simon, but I was there last weekend and it was great. We went to a trivia night that was a lot of fun, and the visitor experience was well, well, well worth the $5 admission.

Do yourself a favor and go there. Wish I lived closer.

Art Equals Change Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slow Startâ&#x20AC;? (Briefs, March 6): The Artspace Tannery is an amazing achievement for Santa Cruz. There is an incredible diversity of very high quality art available from the Artspace

Tannery Artists. The problem lies with the fact that most Americans do not buy art. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just that people buy very little art, it is that they refuse to spend any money on original art at all. If people would just take a chance and actually buy something from a living artist, maybe our society would be a kinder, gentler place. If we keep saying we want less violence in our community, but refuse to support the arts, we are lying to ourselves.

Root of Violence Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Battle Over Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;? (Cover, March 6): Although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the huge outpouring of grief for the slain police officers in this community is real, and the fear of violence in this community is real, I wonder why the death of these two officers is more tragic than the murder of a private citizen by another private citizen, or the killing of a private citizen by a

police officer. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all human life equally valuable, and each violent death equally tragic? Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there a vast sense of pain and loss whenever there is death by gun violence, no matter who is doing the shooting, and no matter who gets killed?

Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there outrage for the other types of violence, including the violence that is inherent in a hierarchal society based on the exploitation of the economically disadvantaged for the benefit of the economically privileged? Why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there massive demonstrations against all war, all the time? We will only be able to successfully deal with violence when we all recognize the violence that is in our own hearts, which is rooted in our own insecurity and fear and hatred of the demonized â&#x20AC;&#x153;other.â&#x20AC;? There is no enemy to hate and fear, there is only a collective and individual shadow that needs healing, understanding and integration.

Not Amused Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just wondering why you feature Tom Tomorrow. Most political cartoons extend false logic to a familiar scenario in order to illustrate how ridiculous the logic is. His cartoons distort the logic and apply it to equally ridiculous scenarios for who knows what end. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost always left understanding his point, but being neither intellectually or comically amused. Which begs the question: why the illustration and punch line, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just providing droll, trite commentary?

to the California Supreme Court over their fiscal analysis of the bill.

By the time the court declined to hear the case, Davis had already filed the initiative three times. By the fourth though, the state owned up to a drastically reduced price tag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fiscal analysis changed not because the facts changed, but because the evidence changed,â&#x20AC;? says Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is unprecedented, as far as I know.â&#x20AC;?

Unlikely Activist

NUCLEAR REACTOR Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Davis Jr. led the successful fight to close Rancho Seco, and now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going after the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remaining nuclear power plants.

Approaching Shutdown Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nuclear terminatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is out to close the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last two plants for good BY SALLY NEAS

M

any locals know Ben Davis Jr. as a painter, the resident artist at Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sones Cellars. His work is so colorful and bright it almost seems to glow.

But as he sits in the Sones Cellars tasting room, sipping a glass of Cancion Del Mar, he has an entirely different kind of glow on his mind. As he speaks about the dangers of nuclear power, his other passionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one that has put him in the national spotlightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; takes over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just wrong on so many levels,â&#x20AC;? says Davis.

Davis was recently nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Nuclear Terminatorâ&#x20AC;? by Forbes magazine, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living up to the billing. He first made his mark leading the successful ballot-initiative

campaign to close the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant in 1989, and now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going after the two remaining nuclear power plants in the state with the California Nuclear Initiative.

The ballot measure, which is currently gathering signatures, prohibits California nuclear power plants from generating electricity until the federal government approves a plan for permanently disposing of nuclear waste or reprocessing of fuel rods. It would effectively shut down Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing nuclear power plants, San Onofre and Diablo Canyon.

For Davis, this has been a long battle.

He originally proposed the initiative to close all of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear power plants in the late 1980s, but at the time the state said that it would cost $5

billion to shut them down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back then, that was such a big price tag that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any grassroots support,â&#x20AC;? he says.

He set aside the campaign for two decades. Then in 2011, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan triggered a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, the largest nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl in 1986.

With public sentiment toward nuclear power shifting drastically, Davis renewed his push to close Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plants. But just like when he filed his initiative 20 years ago, the state came back at him with a huge price tag, claiming it would cost tens of billions of dollars annually to close the plants. Suspecting he was being duped, Davis eventually took the state

With no formal education in law, environmental science or justice, Davis may seem like an unlikely activist.

However, when asked about how he found himself almost single-handedly trying to close down all the nuclear power plants in California, Davis smiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was into anti-growth in our community back in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. I grew up on the [Sacramento] river, and they were chopping up the river bank.

It started becoming clear to me that something was wrong with what they were doing to these natural beautiful areas,â&#x20AC;? he remembers.

As his interest in nuclear activism and knowledge of the law grew, Davis took on what would be a landmark victory: the fight to close down the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant. â&#x20AC;&#x153; After Three Mile Island, Sacramento County was required to adopt an evacuation plan for the city in case of a nuclear accidentâ&#x20AC;ŚThey tried to adopt that without environmental review, and I had learned just enough about environmental law to know what they were trying to do was just silly.â&#x20AC;?

Davis is also currently sponsoring a ballot initiative that would turn the entire state of California into an electrical utility district. By creating a publicly owned utility, he hopes to reduce the price of electricity 10-20 percent.

Still, his anti-nuclear work remains his most personal project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of all the environmental issues to fight, this one attracted me the most,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, to some degree, it feels like it chooses me as much as I choose it.â&#x20AC;? 0

Briefs Cutting Remarks

Friday Night, No Lights In towns across the country, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one place to be on a Friday night in autumn: the local high school football stadium. The week is over, the sun is down and the energy is through the roof. But around here, not all local high schools get to play in the limelightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or any light, for that matter.

While Santa Cruz High, Aptos High and Soquel High all have stadium lights that allow them to play night games, Harbor High has come up a few yards and a lot of kilowatts short. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to rush for eight-and-a-third yards per carry when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see your own cleats, which has limited the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team to totally uncool day games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is, kids want to play Friday night,â&#x20AC;? says Harbor High School Athletic Director Steve Kopald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole different vibe.â&#x20AC;? He says administrators have been pushing for lights since the school was built in 1974, but various impediments, such as permits and environmental considerationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, of course, moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; have always halted the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress.

This year, Kopald has joined forces with Carol Godsave, a local resident whose granddaughter is a cheerleader at Harbor, with the intention of raising the $250,000 needed to install field lights in time for the first game of next season: September 6, 2013.

Godsave and Kopald have contracted with the state architect to complete all the permits required to revamp the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only hurdle now is raising the money,â&#x20AC;? says Godsave. They are hoping for donations from the community to reach the amount.

The Sunrise Rotary Club spent 12 years putting on charity bike rides to raise $500,000 to redo and add lights to Santa Cruz Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stadium, which were completed in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would not like to diminish Santa Cruz High in any way, but step up and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harbor Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Godsave.

Those interested in supporting Harborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause may send checks made out to Harbor High with â&#x20AC;&#x153;field lightsâ&#x20AC;? in the note, sent to the attention of Athletic Director Steve Kopald. 0

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much too soon, Vice Mayor Lynn Robinson says, to discuss any cuts to the Homeless Services Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day programs.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported last week that Robinson â&#x20AC;&#x153;will consider calling for the reduction or elimination of $42,000 in city funding for the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day services.â&#x20AC;? Robinson, who serves on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community programs committee, which makes funding recommendations for social services, told us she carefully considers funding every year and has heard a lot of hoopla lately about cuts to the center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at that paragraph, and this has got to be the hot paragraph that got rearranged in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind,â&#x20AC;?

Robinson says of the Sentinelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in a position to talk about funding right now.â&#x20AC;?

Robinson originally wrote Homeless Services director Monica Martinez last month, as the Sentinel reported, saying she could longer support â&#x20AC;&#x153;business as usual,â&#x20AC;? based on incidents she observed near the shelter.

Robinson says politics from public safety hawks played no role in her position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m focusing on getting positive outcomes out of the programs the city funds,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Claudia Brown, president of the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors, says the shelter was built to deal with homeless issues, not create them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were problems that we have solved like soup kitchens down on Pacific Avenue for example, where business leaders wanted us to make sure people were fed away from downtown,â&#x20AC;? Brown says.

Analicia Cube, co-founder of Take Back Santa Cruz, has supported changes to the center and says the city needs to start weeding criminals out of the larger population and thinks a reform could be part of that. She hopes any cuts would be reinvested in keeping the Harvey West neighborhood safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak for the councilmembers, but there needs to be a change at the center in regards to safety and policy,â&#x20AC;? says Cube.

Inbal Yassur works for the River Street Shelter, which shares the Coral Street Campus with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homeless Services Center and the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homeless Personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Project. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Homeless Services cuts that send at-risk people to the streets

will do Santa Cruz any favors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cutting budgets will just make this worse,â&#x20AC;?

Yassur says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the solution.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On the Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Again A beat revival is brewing, beginning with the new film of Jack Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpiece

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;WHITHER GOEST THOU, AMERICA, IN THIS SHINY CAR?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Out â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On the Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with Sal Paradise (Sam Riley, left) and Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund).

W

hen I interviewed John Cassady last year in connection with the documentary The Magic Bus, I was surprised at his enthusiasm. Now living in the Santa Cruz Mountains, John is the son of Beat legend Neal Cassady, known both for his own writings and as the model for the Dean Moriarty character in Jack Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s On the Road.

Commonly, the children of bohemian types grind an axe about how they suffered from the absenteeism and the bad behavior.

Cassady said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you kidding? My upbringing was the complete opposite. I had an idyllic existence. I felt like a rock starâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;my father was not famous, he was infamous. I loved the attention. To this day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me started.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he told me, too,â&#x20AC;? says Garrett Hedlund, who portrays Dean Moriarty/Neal Cassady in director Walter Sallesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new film adaptation of On The Road, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for his father to get home from work, that all the kids would be hanging on Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biceps.â&#x20AC;?

The actor joined the Cassady family at Skywalker Ranch for the preview screening of On the Road: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of my fave screenings. They were there, so was Jerry Cimino of the Beat Museum in San Francisco, as well as Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biographer Gerry Nicosia.â&#x20AC;?

Hedlund had read On the Road in high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started with Fitzgerald and Salingerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I moved on to Kerouac, Bukowski and those cats,â&#x20AC;? he told me.

ROAD WARRIORS Jack Kerouac (right) with Neal Cassady, circa 1952.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the role, I read On the Road, Dharma Bum, Visions of Cody. I read a third of Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, a big diary of the childhood formative years, the published letters and Carolyn Cassadyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and I listened to the jazz, Slim Gaillard, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy and Miles. I was fascinated by the spontaneous prose and the thought processâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;reading about getting out and living life. Of course, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading it, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in high school and you have a curfew. You get jealous.â&#x20AC;?

Kerouac Revival On the Road spearheads a small wave of Kerouac adaptations. Coming soon is Michael Polishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of Big Surâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the story of an alcoholic breakdown previously described in Curt Wordenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 documentary One Fast Move or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Gone. This new take on Big Sur uses the real names of the characters; Josh Lucas is billed as Neal Cassady.

Daniel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Potterâ&#x20AC;? Radcliffe plays Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, a

movie about a key event in Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life: the time the author (played by Jack Huston) was nearly arrested as a accessory after the fact to a murder.

It all starts with Sallesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long-delayed film of Jack Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed novel.

Produced by Napaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Francis Ford Coppola, the film has been 50 years in the making, not counting some reediting and time on the shelf after its debut in May 2012 at the Cannes Film Festival.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long road. Right after the novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1957 publication, Kerouac claimed to friends that Marlon Brando was interested. Brandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people passed, however. Years later, Gus Van Sant was interestedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a seeming natural to direct the adaptation, particularly in light of My Own Private Idaho.

Rumors blue-skied Johnny Depp as the Kerouac figure, Sal Paradise, with Brad Pitt as Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solar-deity/car thief Moriarty.

Billy Crudup and Colin Farrell were also proposed as Sal and Dean.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long road. Right after the novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1957 publication, Kerouac claimed to friends that Marlon Brando was interested.

Years later, director Gus Van Sant was interested.

The filmmakers borrowed and rented cars from collectors of the since-vanished Hudson. The California desert town of Twentynine Palms doubled for Silicon Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Campbell, where Kerouac once did a stint of manual labor loading boxcars back when the region was devoted to orchards instead of chips.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Work Via phone, director Salles says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, this was ultimately an eight-year search. We interviewed the persons who inspired the characters in the book in San Jose and Los Gatos, [including] several members of the

Neal Cassady family. And we met with Al Hinkle, who is Ed Dunkle in the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This in-depth research process allowed us to understand the complexity, the social and cultural background of the book. The late 1940s and early 1950s were very hard times to live. A generation was seeking to redefine their future. The book is at once an ode to freedom, an ode to youth and an ode to literature.â&#x20AC;?

From the start, this version of On the Road added biographical behavior to Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fictional surrogates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were so informed about the real stories that we were able to somehow improvise their logic,â&#x20AC;? Salles says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The book is so rich and polyphonic that you can actually select the leitmotifs. First is the search for the father at the beginning.

Later comes the difficulty these young men have in being fathers themselves. Dean has kids, but the restlessness propels him forward. Sal is trying to father a novel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a narrative about the transitional years from youth to adulthood. You also have to face pain, and we wanted that to be part of the film. There are moments in the narrative that are extremely painful, and Dean generates some of that pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted the film to carry that ambivalence. Therefore, you soon understand that Dean gives as much as he takes. The jazz-infused letters Neal wrote altered Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on literature. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not difficult to understand why Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was so resonant to Jack.â&#x20AC;?

Before the filming, Hedlund came to the South Bay to talk to some of the survivors who remember the real men and women behind the fictional alter-egos.

It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wonderful experience,â&#x20AC;? says the 28-year-old actor. First in Montreal, which doubled for postâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; World War II New York City, Hedlund went through what he described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beatnik Boot Camp,â&#x20AC;? reading and listening to tapes of LuAnne Anderson and Jack and Neal Cassady. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I flew to San Francisco,â&#x20AC;? he continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I was here, I also got over to Berkeley to meet Michael McClureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that was incredible. I met with John Cassady, and heard a lot of anecdotes. I realized how the Cassady

Hedlund told me that a version with Paul Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at about the time Newman starred in Hudâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;would have been the one he wanted to see.

Salles directed the Great (South) American road movie, The Motorcycle Diaries, clearly influenced by the Kerouac frame of mind. Making On the Road, this seemingly unmakable movie, Salles spent many years and what he claims were 60,000 miles hunting for the kinds of locations Cassady and Kerouac would have seen from their car windows in the late 1940s.

BEING THE BEATS Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On the Road.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Playing the character based on Neal Cassady, Hedlund met with members of his family while shaping his portrayal. family wanted their father perceived, how great a father he was and how much his family loved him.â&#x20AC;?

A Classic on Film At long last, On the Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;linked with Twain and Whitman as quintessential Yankee literatureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;has been achieved with a Brazilian director, a Puerto Ricanâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;born scriptwriter named Jose Rivera and a British actor as Sal Paradise (Sam Riley, star of the Ian Curtis biopic Control).

As Moriarty, Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hedlund excels in depicting radiating sexuality and lightninglike motion; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduced in a balletic slamming of cars into the tight spaces of a New York City valet parking lot.

Sometimes, the other characters

carry baggage from previous acting work. Kirsten Dunstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Camille is based on Carolyn Cassady, a former local who has been trying for decades to set the record straight about her years with Kerouac and Cassady.

Camille is introduced by Carlo as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helen of Troy with a fucking brain.â&#x20AC;?

A description like that is hard to live up to, and Dunst must also compete with memories of Sissy Spacek in the 1980 film Heart Beat, with Nick Nolte as Neal and John Heard as Jack.

Kristen Stewart, who filmed this between her two last Twilight movies, is maybe not as naive and sad as the real life LuAnne Henderson, known to posterity as Marylou, the barely legal Mrs. Moriarty. I mean â&#x20AC;&#x153;naive and sadâ&#x20AC;? compared to the way Henderson comes off in Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book, an indispensable oral history edited by

Viggo Mortensen plays the mad, bad and dangerous-to-know Burroughs character, tending his weird Louisiana citrus farm.

Sturridge successfully avoids Jiminy Cricketism as Carlo. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mentor, not a sidekickâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the symbol not just of the beatitudes to be experienced on the road but also of the hard work â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sal Paradiseâ&#x20AC;? is going to need to do to become a writer.

After such a lengthy build-up, the movie wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t please everyone, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made with freshness, pleasure and unpretentiousness by a director who blends in autobiographical material with the fiction.

Salles confronts perhaps the

number-one problem with a movie of On the Road: that is, Sal Paradiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tendency to adore Dean Moriarty, who, as his fictional name suggests, is both a teacher and a criminal.

The sheltered writer learns from proscribed peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from homosexuals, drug addicts, jazz musicians. Since the film is more intense about Moriartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own exploits (including a little hustling with a moist-eyed trick played by Steve Buscemi), the movie is ultimately more broadening and frank than the book. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less careful than, say, the screen version of Naked Lunch.

Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Demons No need to revise the standard view of Kerouac as a tragic figure, to

ignore the surfeit of drink that diluted a writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent. Whether he liked it or not, Kerouac was the front man for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beat Generationâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;a marketersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wet dream of pointy beards, berets and septic (and overpriced) coffeehouses.

Thus Kerouac was often too popular to be respected, and was a piĂąata to be walloped by rival literary figures from John Updike to Steve Allen. Less well-known than the famous thirst is Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievement at being an ESL writer, since he was French-speaking until deep in his childhood.

Happily, the film emphasizes the serious prose apprenticeship, the love for Thomas Wolfe and Marcel Proust, which preceded Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scatting and bopping in print. There are those who still those who say Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wolfe-influenced novel The Town and the City is his best.

Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grim side was worsened by the idea that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the wrong son died,â&#x20AC;? as the running joke in the movie Walk Hard has it. He was haunted by his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death at an early age.

He was a born-again Buddhist who never shook the old-school Catholic worship of (in his words) â&#x20AC;&#x153;little lamby Jesus.â&#x20AC;?

He dwelt in the shadow of his bigoted French-Canadian mother, a woman as tough as the army boots she used to make in the factory.

Kerouac was a football player who dropped out, a macho with a taste for bisexual experimentation.

He was, above all, a sufferer of the typical malaise of Depression-era kids who went into the arts: the inner terror that he was, despite all the admiration and all the love, at bottom, a bum.

The movie mentions Paradiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father scorning him on his deathbed for having uncalloused hands.

On The Road covers a small period in the late 1940s when Kerouac crisscrossed the United States by thumb, or more often by bus or drive-away rental: New York/Bay Area/Mexico City via Denver and New Orleans. These were the freest years in Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, before mad fame, the final crash and the sodden last decade in Florida.

The other day, a fellow fan and I were wondering why The Dharma Bums, one of Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best books, never made it to screen. It could be

shot for cheap in the Sierra Nevada; moreover, of all Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentors, the poet Gary Snyder (called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Japhy Ryderâ&#x20AC;? in the book) is perhaps the least ambiguously admirable.

Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books are still carried by travelers, who can read the rapid prose and marvel at the eye and ear, the ebullience and the sorrows. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already nostalgic for the time and space of the preâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Interstate America.

Odd that John Watersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new book is going to be about hitchhiking across the United States. Maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a re-exploration of the land by literary travelers.

The other day, a fellow fan and I were wondering why The Dharma Bums, one of Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best books, never made it to screen.

The writers in Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle were very taken with Oswald Spenglerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Decline of the West, the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the fellaheenâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the humble souls at the center of things who would endure no matter what upheavals happened. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a romantic and preDeliverance notion. Who goes out there now? Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hip writers are more certain theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the prey of toothless cannibals in the hinterlands, rapacious yokels ready to punish weirdoes.

The Fort Sumter of the Culture War may have been the 1978 deregulation of airlines, making airfares cheap and making the restless want to go airborne, changing what once was the Heartland into what is now Flyover Country. The film of On the Road, done at last after so many false starts, recovers the beauty of speeding over land, heading no place in particular. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On the Roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plays at the Del Mar.

AISLE BE SEEING YOU Patrice Vecchione went from hiding poetry books on the wrong shelves in Bookshop Santa Cruz to writing them.

Confessions of a Poetry Junkie Patrice Vecchione kicks off Bookshopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salute to National Poetry Month BY AARON CARNES

P

oetry has been a lifelong obsession for Patrice Vecchione. Back in the 70s, while still in high school, she desperately wanted to buy the poetry anthology Reflections On a Gift of a Watermelon Pickle that she saw at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Fearing someone else would get it, she hid it in the Economics section until she earned enough money from babysitting to buy it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The poems spoke to the place where I lived, which was beyond things like what I was going to wear to school that day, or whether I was going to pass my

history final,â&#x20AC;? says Vecchione. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They spoke about deep matters of life. For fiction, you have to get at least a good 10 pages in. In poetry, so much can happen in such a short space.â&#x20AC;?

Her first connection to poetry goes all the way back to her mother reading poems to her when she was an infant, so perhaps it makes sense that Vecchione, who lived in Santa Cruz for 30 years before moving to Monterey, would grow up to one day be a poet herself. Her first collection, Territory of Wind, was released in 1998. In between editing nine anthologies, she has completed her second, The Knot Untied,

which came out in March. On Tuesday, April 2, Vecchoine will go back to the place where she once stashed poetry books to kick off Bookshop Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration of April as National Poetry Month.

Through the years, Vecchioneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poetry has utilized a very simple, concise selection of words that draw the reader in by accessing the five senses, which she uses to express abstract emotions and complex ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, writing a poem is about taking something that is not primarily located in language and locating that thing in language,â&#x20AC;? Vecchione says.

As she got more serious about writing poems in high school, she found that the process of putting pen to paper provided an emotional outlet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the way that I could get the world to hold still for a few minutes. My home life was quite turbulent as a girl, so writing served me emotionally, and I found that you could take something lousy that happened and you could turn it into something that was positive,â&#x20AC;?

Vecchione says.

As sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten older, she writes less about her own stories, and focuses on more broad stories, and also writing about nature. Her love affair with nature began only in recent years, after an accident left her unable to do the longdistance bike trips she enjoyed. She took up walks in nature for her exercise.

Now she finds herself inspired by these walks, and often writes while in nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I love about the natural world is it takes us as we are. The trees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If you want to walk quickly, it will accept your step.

If you want to walk slowly, it does the same. I like how nature is not judgmental, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just nature. It just is itself,â&#x20AC;? Vecchione says.

Besides writing her own poems and editing anthologies, she also runs poetry workshops and teaches poetry to children and public schools as a guest poet. She wrote and starred in the one-woman play titled A Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life in Pieces, and has been working for the last decade-and-a-half on the nonfiction book Writing and the Spiritual Life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Writing allows us to access not only what we know, but also the collective unconscious,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When one writes, one is able, through the nonlinear process of writing poetry, to access the greater knowing that exists inside us. I tell my writing students, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know more than you know you know.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

AS FUNNY AS HE INKS HE IS? Sammy Obeid wants to get something on his chest.

Laugh Track For Sammy Obeid, comedy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a sprintâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marathon BY JACOB PIERCE

S

ammy Obeid decided two years ago to do stand-up comedy for 1,000 consecutive days. If all goes according to plan (no panic attacks, measles, etc.), his Tuesday show at the Blue Lagoon will be number 829. The show is part of a new weekly comedy showcase hosted by local comedian DNA. We caught up with Obeid on the phone before a show at the Laugh Factory in Long Beach, Calif.

SCW: Do you play any instruments? SAMMY OBEID: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing guitar since I was 11. Everyone was like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be an amazing guitar player. Keep doing it.â&#x20AC;? I really looked up to Jimi Hendrix, but then someone told me Jimi Hendrix started playing guitar when he was four. I figured he had a seven-year lead on me, so I gave up. Last year, I looked it up on Wikipedia. He actually started when he was 15. So always check your facts.

Are we living in a postapocalyptic society, or were the Mayans wrong? As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned, my career died last year. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m headlining the Blue Lagoon.

Does the Laugh Factory manufacture laughs? Every comedy place has its name. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Comedy Store, where you buy comedy.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Laugh Factory, which is

wholesale. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Improv, where the comedy just comes so easily, but you still have to pay for it. I think all comedy clubs should change their names to You Pay Us Money, We Try to Make You Laugh. That would be more honest.

What will the FBI do now that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve teamed up with Ahmed Ahmed of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Axis of Evilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tour?

The FBI follows me around all day because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve teamed up with the Axis of Evil. They always overlook that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comedy Tourâ&#x20AC;? part at the end. They just focus on the Axis of Evil part, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re onto something.

If you won the lottery, would you keep touring? It depends on how much money I would win. Is it more than $50? Then, yes. As much as I enjoy it, I would rather be playing my guitar for freeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;try to catch up with the late Jimi Hendrix. I guess I never realized that Jimi Hendrix died at 27. So if even if he would have started at four, I would have had seven years after him to catch up. I could have been as good as him by 34 and still been alive.

LIVIN NG COLOU UR There was so much about Living Colour that made them seem cheesy when they came out in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the actor for a frontman, the emphasis on hair (and wet suit), the fakey social critique of their big hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cult of Personalityâ&#x20AC;? (ooh, what if Stalin and Ghandi are really the same?), the goofy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glamour Boys.â&#x20AC;?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, though, 20 years of pondering Vernon Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitar chops will make a believer out of anybody. If Vivid seemed like pure product at the height of their success, today it sounds like one of the best pop records from that decade. Since Corey Glover obviously doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the money, maybe they reunited just to remind people they kick ass. Catalyst; $19/$24; 8pm. (Steve Palopoli)

TOM M RIG GNEY & FLA AMBE EAU Hailing from the Bay Area, violinist and composer Tom Rigney has, over a 35-year career in music, firmly established himself as one of the great roots fiddlers. At home playing bluegrass, western swing, country and more, Rigney shines playing Cajun and Louisiana dance music. He even spent a year touring with the legendary Queen Ida; not bad for a child of the West Coast. He and his band, Flambeau, have a reputation for getting dance floors jumping with a mixed bag of Southern music from Cajun, zydeco and New Orleans groove to waltzes and boogie-woogie.

AUD DIA AFAU UNA

KING G DU UDE

The members of Audiafauna are doing what they can for Santa Cruz, headlining benefits to keep the Mission open, teaching biology at UCSC, bringing glorious tunes to the ears of many. Their music provides a kind of ebb and flow, like waves rolling on and off the shore.

The smooth and lively instruments and vocals of each song burst with a genuine passion, and take on a life of their own. Strong female vocals accompany a set of powerful strings to create a feeling of welcome that wraps you in its arms, spins you around and lets your feet dangle in the crisp air. The Crepe Place; $10; 9pm. (Melanie Ware)

Who died and made T.J. Cowgill king of dudeness remains a secret, and finding an answer may very well involve staring down Satan in a graveyard, if King Dudeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songs are any indication. The Prince of Darkness gets many a shout-out from Cowgill and his Seattle band, though I seriously doubt Lucifer has much use for folk music. And for all its gothy trappings, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely what this is.

King Dude is the black metal of Americana, or maybe the Americana of black metal. Catalyst; $10/$13; 9pm. (SP)

JAN NIS S IA AN Janis Ian is coming to town. For those in the know about such things, the weight of this is obvious. For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure where to begin. I could tell you that she just won a Grammy for her audio autobiography, beating out Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama, Rachel Maddow and Ellen DeGeneres in the process.

But the heart of Ianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story lies in her tackling of charged subjects including interracial romance, homosexuality, domestic violence and the Holocaust. Still in her teens when she became a breakout star in the 1960s, Ian was met with threats, intimidation, bans and boos, but she courageously sang her songs, night after night.

On Sunday, Ian brings her music and her story to Santa Cruz. Kuumbwa; $25; 7pm. (CJ)

JIMM MY THA ACKE ERY

Monday, April 1

When playing guitar, Jimmy Thackery says he feels an electricity travel from his mind to his heart to his fingers, and he has to remind himself to breathe. Or at least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it feels to listen to him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to contain oneself from rocking out on air guitar, trying to find a way to let that pulsing electricity that darts out of each rip and twang of guitar string escape them. Though he is best known as a blues singer and guitarist, the man still has a soft spot and affection for surf and spy music. He plays true to his roots, melding all the genres together to create original songs that personify him as a musician. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $15 adv/$20 door; 4pm. (MW)

PHAROAH SANDERS QUARTET No Comps

If their band name brings up images of a drunk Flogging Molly-type band then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for a shock. With Erika Wennerstrom, the blonde front-woman whose deep, provocative vocals create quite a distinctive sound, and a talented supporting band whose energetic instruments evoke a western rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll feel, their music doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily lend itself to a sloppy mosh-pit of spilled beer. After touring together and being favorites at the South By Southwest music festival in their hometown of Austin, they all seem to be on the same colorful wavelengths. They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heartless; their crisp and raw sound brings out soul and blues with some funk. And they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bastardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least not that we know of.

In the early 1960s, tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders was playing at the Village Gate in New York.

John Coltrane, who was in the audience, liked what he heard from the young Sanders and invited him to sit in with his band. For the next several years, until Coltraneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1967, Sanders regularly played alongside, and learned from, the jazz great. Known for his fierce and passionate approach to playing, his mastery of the unrestrained, free-jazz style and the spiritual undertones of his music, Sanders is one of the most extraordinary artists and composers of his time.

Hour of the Wolff

BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

D

R. BARBARA WOLFF (Nina Hoss), late of Berlin, arrives at a hospital in a backwater near the Baltic coast. The title character of Barbara is a handsome, cold woman at the end of her 30s, a blonde with a domed forehead and the rigid posture of an ex-ballet dancer. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a seether.

The humane, literate Dr. AndrĂŠ (Ronald Zehrfeld), who runs the hospital, knows a little about Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plight. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1980; the German Democratic Republic will be in existence for one more decade; and the legions of squealers and secret police are making the most of the time remaining. It turns out that Dr. Wolff is in the provinces because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just out of political prison, although when she bitterly quotes a Communist Party motto about the debt intellectuals need to pay to the farmers and workers, Andre says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually not incorrect.â&#x20AC;?

A line like that is proof that Barbara isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just communistmartyr lore. Christian Petzgoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film functions on all levels. It is an intelligent, mature love triangle with well-picked citations of Rembrandt and Turgenev to deepen the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frame of reference. It works as drama, too, about the slow melting of a secretive woman of quality and character. It also functions as a tense,

rarified thriller about escape from a police state.

In the mysteries these doctors have to solve, Barbara also functions as the kind of medical procedurals audiences gorge upon. The tough doctor is softened by the compassion for her patients, particularly one scruffy girl (Jasna Fritzi Bauer) who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide her contempt for what she calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;this schiessland.â&#x20AC;?

Moviegoers of today might not know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to have their room searched by the police, or to see an officer beckoning, while slapping on a pair of rubber gloves. (Rather a lot do, considering the size of the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prison population.) However, the omnipresence of rot and the desire to run away to some paradise instead of staying here and fighting for the weakâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that is something the West would know about.

If Barbara has a problem, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that the resolution of the conflict turns up right at the too-perfect moment, which gives the arm of coincidence a near dislocation. Otherwise, this is a delicately detailed yet strongly moral film, dense enough to see more than once.

dolls, which is actually what eventually put this movie in the black, as it took a while for it to be recognized as a great film). (Play Fri and Sat at midnight at the Del Mar).

TYLER PERRYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TEMPTATION (PG-13; 117 min.) If Tyler Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temptation was to stop making 150 movies a year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest he take it. Alas, the title refers to writerdirector Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest story about a married woman tempted into an affair with a billionaireâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the fallout.

Movie reviews by Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack

Reviews ADMISSION (PG-13; 113 min) Director Paul Weitz has made movies as good as About a Boy and as bad as Little Fockers. He certainly has made more interesting films than his debut American Pie allowed anyone to expect. This time around, he teams two heroes of geek culture, Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, for a comedy about an uptight Princeton admissions officer (played byâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;oh, câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, guess who!) whose life is shaken up by a devil-

may-care alternative school principal (again, guess who) and a student who might be the son she gave up for adoption.

BARBARA (PG-13; 105 min.) Attention: movies set in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s are now officially â&#x20AC;&#x153;periodâ&#x20AC;? pieces.

But unlike the ones fixated on hair, summer camp or Tony Wilson, this German film offers a glimpse into a culture cut off from the Western world, with its story of an East German doctor trying to avoid the Stasi and defect after being banished

to a rural clinic.

THE CALL (R; 100 mi.)

Brad Anderson, the director of two very trippy, Twilight Zone-type films (Session 9 and The Machinist), helms this story of a 911 operator (Halle Berry) who gets way too involved with her job after getting a call from a girl whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been abducted.

THE CROODS (PG; 98 min) Sort of like The Flintstones for the deconstructionist 21st century, this animated family flick has a prehistoric clan leaving the safety of their cave for the proverbial incredible journey. With lots of hip modern references of course, and Nick Cage as father Grug.

DEAD MAN DOWN (R; 118 min.) From the director of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (the Swedish one), a New York City enforcer (Colin Farrell) and a blackmailer team up to take on a crime boss (Terrance Howard).

EMPEROR (PG-13; 114 min.) Should a beloved Japanese ruler be tried for war crimes? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the question Gen. Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones) and his aide (Matthew Fox) try to answer in this WWII drama.

THE GATEKEEPERS (PG-13; 95 min.) Members of Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret service open up about controversial tactics and tough decisions in this new documentary about the Shin Bet. More than a documentary, this is an exploration in morality for the 21st century.

THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE (PG-13; 107 min) Building on Adam McKay and Will Ferrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mediocre American Man trilogy (Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Stepbrothers), Steve Carrell fashions his own over-the-top character in the form of Burt Wonderstone, an egotistical superstar illusionist desperate to stay in the limelight.

JACK AND THE GIANT SLAYER 3D (PG13; 114 min.): The classic tale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack and the Beanstalkâ&#x20AC;? is revisited with the tagline â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think you know the story, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know jack.â&#x20AC;?

In this version, Jack climbs a towering vine, not in search of treasure, but in an attempt to save a kingdom, and its princess.

IDENTITY THIEF (R; 117 min.) Bridesmaidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breakout

star Melissa McCarthy gets her own comic showcase playing a woman who steals Jason Batemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity (made possible because his characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sandy,â&#x20AC;? see? Erâ&#x20AC;Ś). Seth Gordon, who made his debut with the I-canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-believe-this-mademe-care-about-video-games documentary The King of Kong, directs.

ON THE ROAD Director Walter Salles (of Mortorcycle Diaries fame) adapts Jack Kerouacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beat classic.

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (R; 120 min) The director of Training Day, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made a good movie since, returns with this Gerard Butler actioner about a disgraced federal agent who must save the president when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trapped in a terrorist attack on the White House.

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (PG; 130 min.)

When three of Ozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s witches first meet Kansas transplant Oscar Diggs (James Franco), theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re disappointed. This, they worry, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly be the great wizard everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expecting. Can he prove them wrong before the magical landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epic problems spiral out of control?

SPRING BREAKERS (R; 94 min) The fact that Harmony Korine is still making movies after Gummo is amazing. The fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a subversive spring break flick featuring co-eds who rob a restaurant to pay for their partying, and then get mixed up with drug dealers, is downright awesome.

STOKER (R; 98 min.)

Chan-wook Park, the visionary director of Oldboy and the Vengeance trilogy, returns to some of his freakiest themes with this Nicole Kidman thriller about a young girl (Mia Wasikowska) who develops an unhealthy relationship with her malevolent uncle after he comes to live with her and her mother.

WAR WITCH (NR; 98 min) Acclaimed film about an African teenager abducted from her village and drafted into a rebel army, whose fellow soldiers come to believe is a powerful witch.

21 AND OVER (R; 93 min.): The night before his medical school exam, Jeff Chang celebrates his 21st birthday with his best friends.

But what was only going to be a few beers turns into a booze cruise, with a vomiting scene atop a mechanical bull.

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION (PG-13; 110 min.) For this sequel to the original G.I. Joe movie you already forgot happened, the producers hired the director of the Step Up movies and the writers of Zombieland. Nobody saw that coming, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure.

The cast of Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum and RZA, however, suggests more of the originalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost-as-lifelike-as-thetoys approach. (Opens Wed

at Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley, Green Valley.)

MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (1988) In honor of From Up on Poppy Hill, the new film created by Hayao Miyazaki (and directed by his son Goro), this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midnight movie is one of the legendary Japanese animatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early classic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aboutâ&#x20AC;Śwell, have you ever tried to describe what a Miyazaki movie is about?

for significant contributions to RhĂ´ne-style winemaking. The firstever award was presented by the RhĂ´ne Rangers, an influential band of 150 wineries specializing in wines in the style of Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RhĂ´ne district. Grahmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature Le Cigare Volant wine, by the way, is a famous blend of the grapes of the RhĂ´ne â&#x20AC;&#x201D;grenache, syrah, mourvedre and occasionally a splash of roussanne.

Congratulations to Grahm for another well-deserved nod from his peers.

WINE OF THE WEEK: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mouthful, both in name and in flavor. The 2010 Bengoetxe Getariako Txakolina Hondarribi Zuri/Petit Corbu, is an exciting elixir of elusive spices that pivot briskly into a long salty finish. Utterly mineral bouquet, from Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basque Country. The best $7.50 glass youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll taste in a long time. Look for it on the current listing @ Soif.

HEADING UP TALKS Santa Cruz Mountain Brewingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emily Thomas spilled her secrets at the Craft Brewers Conference in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Craft Brewers Look to Santa Cruz

BY CHRISTINA WATERS

E

mily Thomas, owner and brewer at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing, was selected by the Brewers Association to speak at the annual Craft Brewers Conference last week in Washington, D.C. Thomas, a top micro-brewing entrepreneur, talked at the brew-expo about creative fundraising, something she has done with flair at her popular brewery in the Ingalls Street complex.

Take, for example, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank You Thursdayâ&#x20AC;? concept, which gives a local non-profit $1 of every beer sold on Thursdays. The success of this program has raised over $20,000 so far. Another one of Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

successful fundraising efforts has been the Copper Club Experiment, started to help raise the needed capital to upgrade key equipment.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve visited the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taproom recently, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the gigantic copper tree draped with engraved mugs emerging from the wall and ceiling. Each mug represent $1000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;club membership,â&#x20AC;? which entitles devoted fans to their name on a mug, a beer every day for the rest of their lives, and special discounts on beers and seasonal ales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always conducted our business without accepting private investment or

acquiring debt. We incorporated the copper tree art installation as a way to engage club members in a creative brewing, beer-loving community,â&#x20AC;? says Thomas. Thirsty regulars make regular pilgrimages to this only-inSanta-Cruz shrine of artisanal beer.

WINES OF EASTERN EUROPE:

You suspect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love them, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never tasted many of them.

What to do? How about stopping by Soif Wine Bar on Saturday, March 30 at 2pm, when Frank Dietrich from the Blue Danube Wine Company will bring delicious curiosities from Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary and

time to come and learn the finer points of making quality compost at the upcoming Compost for the Home Garden and Orchard

workshop. The event will take place on Saturday, March 30, 10amâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;1pm at the Alan Chadwick Garden on the UC Santa Cruz campus. Led by the incomparable Chadwick Garden manager Orin Martin, and Zoe Hitchner and Sky DeMuro of Everett Family Farm, the workshop will cover the basics of choosing materials for your pile, how to balance â&#x20AC;&#x153;greensâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;brownsâ&#x20AC;? to get the right blend of nitrogen and carbon, how to build and maintain your compost pile, and how to use finished compost in your garden or orchard. $30 for the general public, $20 for Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden, a mere $5 for UCSC students.

UNBREAKABLE Even the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;89 quake couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Little Shanghai.

Jack Chiao Co-owner, Little Shanghai Little Shanghai, co-owned by Jack and Sue Chiao, has for years been a downtown Santa Cruz destination for fresh-tasting Chinese food made with local vegetables. Jack and Sue moved to Albuquerque from Taiwan in 1977, and then to Santa Cruz in 1986, three years before the Loma Prieta earthquake forced them to make big changes to their fledgling restaurant.

We talked to Jack Chiao as he and Sue prepared to open for dinner.
