AC<C> Robert Bulterman installs a 20-watt solar panel system at Live Earth Farm.

Sun Down

Innovative solar finance program stalls 0G 1C@B7A 1/@B73@

OBERT BULTERMAN never counted on PACE to save his business. The 46-year-old Santa Cruz electrician and solar technician, like a lot of green collar workers, had admittedly held high hopes that Property Assessed Clean Energy would infuse the overcrowded sustainable energy industry with a slew of muchneeded jobs. But to count on it doing so, he says, would have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;just plain stupid.â&#x20AC;? As it turns out, Bultermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skepticism was well founded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard PACE got put on hold, I just thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I knew it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says from the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat of his white Chevy Cheyenne utility truck en route to Watsonville and one of the few solar jobs he was able to land in the ruthless Central Coast solar market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it takes offâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if it takes offâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I think it could quadruple my business and there would be enough to go around. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to assume thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happen.â&#x20AC;?

PACE is a general term used for a host of different alternative energy financing schemes that evolved from a program pioneered in Berkeley in 2008 and which are now being replicated in 22 states nationwide.

Indeed the programs are so promising that the Obama administration has committed $150 million in stimulus money to help them get off the ground.

Under a PACE program, a homeowner who wants to buy green technology like solar panels but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for a bank loan for the $15,000â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$30,000 needed for a typical system can receive funding from a local municipality. The homeowner then pays back the money, with interest, over a 20-plus-year timeframe through property taxes. The plan, which attaches a tax lien on the property itself instead of loan debt on the individual, seemed the perfect way to get everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;regardless of home equity or creditâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on the path toward green energy use.

In Santa Cruz County, like the 13 other counties in California that were looking to participate, the program had been approved by local leaders and was just about to start accepting applications when word came down last month that the effort would be put on indefinite hold.

The reason for the hang-up was that government-backed mortgage giants 3

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, along with their regulatory body, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, backed out of supporting the program over concerns that the tax liens would take precedence over the mortgage loans in the event of foreclosure, in short, that a homeowner who defaulted on a home loan would technically have to pay off his or her PACE lien before paying off his or her mortgage. Result: freaked-out lenders. The companies have since vowed not to grant any loans for properties that participate in PACE. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PACE loans are unlike routine tax assessments and pose unusual and difficult risk management challenges for lenders, servicers and mortgage securities investors,â&#x20AC;? reads a statement released July 6 by FHFA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[These] programs present significant safety and soundness concerns that must be addressed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks.â&#x20AC;?

Because Fannie and Freddie collectively own or guarantee roughly half of all U.S. mortgages, their participation was crucial to the programsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success. Since the dust-up, gubernatorial candidate and California Attorney General Jerry Brown has filed suitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as has Sonoma Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; against the mortgage corporations and the FHFA, with Brown saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac received enormous federal bailouts, but now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re throwing up impermeable barriers to bank lending that creates jobs, stimulates the economy and boosts clean energy.â&#x20AC;?

The heart of the legal argument that now awaits lies in whether the PACE tax liens are legally considered loans, as Fannie and Freddie contend, or assessments, as Brown and the various participating counties insist they are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These programs involve assessments, not loans, and there are decades of law that define assessments,â&#x20AC;? says Liz Yager, program manager for the Sonoma County Energy Independence Program, the only program in California to keep running despite the threats from Fannie, Freddie and FHFA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time someone calls it a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;loanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misleading.â&#x20AC;?

Little Fish, Big Pond There is a love-hate relationship between green technology installers and local PACE programs. On one hand, the promise of government cash and tax rebates for buying expensive

retrofits like solar panels has been key in bringing in business for workers like Bultermanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and PACE would no doubt have been the biggest draw yet.

On the other hand, however, that same potential gravy train has also brought an inf lux of prospecting workersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; some strictly solar-specialized, others from a host of trades like roofers, carpenters, electricians and general contractorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that have overcrowded the local green job market, and, as one installer says, made it â&#x20AC;&#x153;cutthroat beyond belief.â&#x20AC;? As word of PACE spread, installers and wholesalers fought the impression that it would be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;silver bulletâ&#x20AC;? for customers who have been content to wait to go solar until the sweetest deal comes along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are always waiting for the next big deal for solar, even though a lot of them could get good loans by just going to the bank. Plus they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay the 7, 8 or 9 percent interest that [PACE] programs quote,â&#x20AC;? says Peter Putt of Suns Up Solar, based in Santa Cruz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many players in the solar market in Santa Cruz County that just because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another avenue for financing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the little guys are going to all of a sudden be making a bunch of money.â&#x20AC;?

Even in Sonoma County, where the PACE program is still running, solar jobs are fewer and farther between than the myriad of workers on hand to do them. Yager says, however, that despite the rocky start, support for the plan remains strong and that Sonoma County is happy to stand up to big mortgage companies that are looking to ruin the party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our board of supervisors decided to keep the lights on and stand up for SCEIP,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a huge grassroots movement around this. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident there will be a resolution.â&#x20AC;?

In the meantime, Bulterman says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep competing with the 10 to 15 other solar installers that bid on the same jobs he does and that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll â&#x20AC;&#x153;take whatever work I can get.â&#x20AC;? Back in his truck, the electrician takes a phone call from a fellow installer whom he hires whenever he needs the extra help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, Robin. Yeah, things are slow.

You know how it is,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I manage to get some more work somehow, though, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some for you.â&#x20AC;?

Turning toward me, he continues: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There you go. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one more guy that could be working if PACE went through.â&#x20AC;? 0

How Low Can You Go?

Eating lower on the food chain is one of the best things an aspiring greenie can do, but it will require a few attitude adjustments 0G /:/AB/7@ 0:/<2

A

MERICANS crave efficiency. We esteem cars that burn less gas for each mile driven, jobs that generate the most money per hour and mobile phones that pack the most capabilities into the smallest possible package. In short, we want bang for our buck.

But we skimp on efficiency when it comes time to eat, because we just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist meat.

According to the United Nations Food and

Agriculture Organization, Americans consume 275 pounds of animal flesh every year, more per capita than nearly any other populace on earth. (Floss, anyone?) This is an expensive habit in carbon terms; a 2007 study by the National Institute of Livestock and Grassland Science in Japan reported that producing 1 pound of beef produces the same amount of CO2 as does driving a small car 70 miles.

And the waste of land is staggering; according to a U.N. report titled Livestock in a Changing

Landscape, almost one-third of the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice-free land surface is devoted to livestock production, while only 8 percent is devoted to production of food consumed directly by humans (i.e., plants). As the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human population escalates, with a population of 10 billion expected by the year 2050, the stresses on our planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources will followâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if we continue to bring home the bacon and butcher the beef. ¨ #

So what if we just cut big mooing, grunting mammals from the equation and looked to another source of protein?

Something lower on the food chain, perhapsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like insects?

We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the first large mammals to crunch them between their teeth. The great Ursus arctos, also known as the brown bear, will sink its teeth into elk and salmon when it can, but it also eats large quantities of moths, termites and ants, and for a creature so high on the food chain to stoop to the bottom for its sustenance is a model act of humility that humans might do well to emulate. Insects and other arthropods, like most â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowerâ&#x20AC;? forms of life, abound, constituting an edible resource of tremendous biomass. Ants alone reportedly approximate about onethird of all terrestrial animal biomass, according to ecologistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; models. Add termites, moths, spiders and cockroaches to the menu, and we suddenly have a bounteous resource scuttling about innumerably at our feet, in the cracks and crevices and vile damp places of the earth, a vast source of protein and minerals almost entirely untapped.

Eating bugs just makes sense, so much so that the U.N. is giving consideration to the matter. In February 2008, the Food and Agriculture Organization hosted a workshop called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forest Insects as Food: Humans Bite Back,â&#x20AC;? in Chiang Mai,

pediatrics

Thailand, at which 36 entomologists, edible insect nutritionists, foresters and others with a stake in the developing edible insect movement discussed the potential of six-legged animals as food and the challenges of developing a market and industry. The BBC reports that a handful of Dutch companies have already begun breeding beetles, crickets and locusts for food. Even here in the United States advocates are pushing the concept. The entomology department of Iowa State University posts online nutritional information about eating insects, while numerous cookbooks, including Creepy Crawly Cuisine: The Gourmet Guide to Edible Insects

by Dr. Julieta Ramos-Elorduy, tout the wisdom and sense in eating earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most abundant terrestrial animal resource and offer recipes like fried grasshoppers, ant larva tacos and mealworm cookies.

Eminent entomologists, like Dr. Gene R. DeFoliart, a bug-eating advocate at the University of Wisconsin well-known to many in the insectivorous community, also vouch for insects as food. And some high-end restaurants, like Mezcal in San Jose and the increasingly famous Typhoon at the Santa Monica Airport, are putting insects on their menus.

You might say the insectivore movement is gaining legs. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wiggling. ¨ $

ANY GARDENERS know that dandelions and other weeds go well in salads.

Fewer know that the common garden snail, Cantareus aspersus (formerly known as Helix aspersa), does well when sautĂŠed in butter and garlic (what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?) and served in the shell in which it lived its life. Yep, the garden snail that ravages your chard and kale is among the snails esteemed as escargot. In fact, it was introduced to California from France, no less, in the 1850s as a food source, according to a UC-Davis online report. It now lives around the world.

Although snails can reportedly carry diseases dangerous to people, Cantareus aspersus is ranked as a food item by those who know. The French harvest the snails in the fall and may set them loose in an empty fish tank for several days where they are allowed to feed on rolled oats for a clean change of diet. A subsequent forced fast of several days renders them ready to prep, cook and eat. Snails are high in protein, vitamins E and B1, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium and are low in fatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;prior to the butter. Be forewarned, though: Snails may carry the parasitic worm Angiostrongylus cantonensis. If cooking fails to kill this parasite, it may kill you. Do your homework. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Alastair Bland

Bottoms Up Just why creatures can be categorically defined as sustainable or not-so-sustainable food sources can be understood with a quick look at the trophic energy scale, or pyramid, a conceptual representation of organisms and the energy each one requires to grow and reproduce. At the top of the pyramid are the meateating apex predators, like bluefin tuna and tigers. At the bottom are the simplest organic building blocks of life, like algae and phytoplankton, which often require little more than

sunlight to grow. In terms of biomass, there is very little of the former and vast quantities of the latter.

The critters at the bottom of the trophic pyramid are better choices for food, but not just because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re plentiful. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also efficient. It is through algae and phytoplankton that the energy of the sun is first absorbed into the food web through photosynthesis. As energy ascends the pyramid, howeverâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from the phytoplankton to the krill to the sardines to the tuna, from the bacteria to the grasses to the grazers to the carnivoresâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;energy efficiency is lost

rapidly. For every pound of flesh at the top of the trophic pyramid, immeasurable quantities of energy have been expended to make it.

Casson Trenor, the senior markets campaigner with Greenpeace and a former sustainability consultant with the Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based nonprofit FishWise, explains basic trophic math using two of the creatures he knows best: tuna and sardines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To take our protein from the level of tuna is a totally inefficient use of the ocean,â&#x20AC;? says Trenor, who in 2007 founded the sustainable sushi restaurant Tataki in San Francisco, and who

will receive Save Our Shoresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ocean Protection Hero of the Year award at Toast to the Coast on Aug. 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we want a pound of protein, we could get it from sardines. If we need to get it from tuna, it might have taken 15 pounds of protein from sardines to make that pound of tuna protein.â&#x20AC;?

The lower we eat on the food chain, the more sustainable our diets become.

The invertebrate level is a good place to settle down and make a meal, for these spineless species are excellent processors of energy. On average, invertebrate species utilize 20 percent ¨ &

Vertebrates, by contrast, use just 2 percent of assimilated energy for growth and reproduction, the balance being used for nothing but fueling motion and metabolism.

Of course, a vegetarian diet is the most sustainable long-term nutrition plan of all. Plants not only draw their energy directly from the sun via photosynthesis, they do it efficiently, directing up to 85 percent of assimilated energy toward making more of themselves. Algae can double their biomass in hours just by soaking up the sun.

But the food business is show business, and no chef attains rock star status by boiling primordial broths of microscopic nourishment. They gain fame by carving up beasts and grilling them. A restaurant in New Jersey called CafĂŠ Arugula has even served up retired circus catsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;read this as â&#x20AC;&#x153;roasted leg of lionâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;at expensive special event dinners. The chef told us about it himself.

All the Little Fishes In Menlo Park, Flea Street CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food director and lead cook Carlos CaĂąada recognizes the virtues of serving small animals, and one of the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular items is the fried sardines.

From a business perspective, serving such fish pays off, CaĂąada says. GradeA yellowfin tuna belly may cost $14 per pound wholesale, but sardines set CaĂąada back just $1.95. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very little waste,â&#x20AC;? he says. CaĂąada believes the low cost of sardines reflects their natural abundance in the ocean, and he believes that building a customer base happy with finger-sized fish is a sustainable long-term business modelâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;much more so, anyway, than thrilling guests with grilled lion and tuna, neither of which Flea Street CafĂŠ serves.

At the EcoFarm Conference in Pacific Grove last January, where restaurateurs and food producers convened to discuss sustainable food production, sardines were a hot topic of discussion. That sardines have become an esteemed item in the culinary world gives Trenor at Greepeace reason to hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sardines are a powerful indicator of change in the seafood industry,â&#x20AC;? Trenor says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sardines have been out of favor for a long time. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the poor manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food, processed down by the train tracks and eaten out of a tin.â&#x20AC;?

At FishWise, Bill Wall, business partnership program manager, says the economic downturn combined with a increased awareness of ecological

dynamics has spurred interest in small fishes, squid and other mollusks.

Flea Street CafĂŠ owner Jesse Cool believes a social change in the perception of what is edible is unravelingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that people are coming to understand â&#x20AC;&#x153;the value of eating diversely, eating beginning to end, and not just eating what has been made appealing commercially, like salmon, bass and halibut.â&#x20AC;? This includes using all parts of an animal. CaĂąada scrapes the last bits of flesh from filleted fish carcasses and uses the scraps for carpaccio. The bones, finally, are used for soup. To use all parts of an animal â&#x20AC;&#x153;is spiritually and karmically right on,â&#x20AC;? Cool says.

Squid, too, are a great choice for diners hunting low on the trophic scale.

Lou Zeidberg, a researcher in Monterey working for UCLA, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless you eat anchovies and sardines, you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to get any closer to phytoplankton than with squid.â&#x20AC;? Sardines and anchovies both filter phytoplankton from the water.

Squidâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;voracious predators, even the four-inchersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;do not eat phytoplankton, Zeidberg says, but they eat the copepods and the baby fish that do. Moreover, squid grow marvelously fast, a key point in true sustainability. The familiar market squidâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the sort usually dredged in flour and friedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;rarely lives more than eight months, according to Zeidberg. Its rapid life cycle helps make the population resilient.

Like a lot of Santa Cruz restaurants, Ristorante Avanti serves fried squid, or calamari, and has for years. Availability, says owner Paul Geise, has rarely been a limiting factor at any time of the year.

Sardines are almost as reliably available, he says, and have been on the menu for 15 years, though popularity of sardines is trending upward.

Those wishing to cook some low-order prey species at home can find squid, anchovies and sardines periodically at H&H Fish at the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market and Philâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fish Market and Eatery in Moss Landing. New Leaf Markets will supply these smaller species upon request (though when we checked, the Pacific Avenue location had none).

Wall at FishWise says retailers that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regularly stock smaller fishes and mollusks may just need to be encouraged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way to see the items in the case is to ask your fishmonger to let them know there is a demand for lower trophic level items,â&#x20AC;?

Wall says.

He adds that there are health, and not just ecological, benefits to eating species closer to the trophic base: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seafood lower in the food web is typically

The Hoppening Snack

HAPULINES (fried grasshoppers) could be the new potato chip if they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so hard to find. A Oaxacan delicacy, in Mexico they are sold everywhere from the markets to the finest restaurants. The tasty little critters sporadically find their way north of the border into our local shops, but their presence is hardly advertisedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if you want chapulines, you will have to ask for chapulines. Luckily, in the fertile belly of grasshopper season (Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;September), it only takes a few inquiries at Mexican markets throughout Santa Cruz and Watsonville to track them down on local soil.

Harvested from corn and alfalfa fields with large nets during the night, the hoppers are then prepared for the market. Boiling them for a few minutes is recommended (especially if they are still alive). They are then fried in a small amount of vegetable oil with lime, salt and sometimes garlic or onion. The crickets must be cooked until all of their juices evaporate and they turn a nice crispy brown.

Salty and crunchy, with an occasionally bitter aftertaste, the little guys pack enough protein to put any goldfish variety to shame, and unlike your average Pringle, no two chapulines are ever the same. They come as small as a few millimeters long (best for firsttimers) and as large as 2 inches long, and they are sorted and sold by size. Try them in a taco with your favorite salsa or simply alone.

lower in mercury and contaminants too. Mercury and PCBs bioaccumulate, meaning they are found in greater concentrations higher in the food web.

As a shark eats many small fish with low mercury levels, all of the mercury consumed by the shark remains in the tissue, making the mercury content of the shark many times more than the fish it eats.â&#x20AC;? The same rule applies to tuna, infamous for its potentially dangerous densities of mercury.

Eating Everything in Sight

T

HOSE who eat lots of shark, tuna, beef and lion areâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;how do we put this gently?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;pigging out on the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precious resources. But what if we could draw our energy directly from the sun? Some believers say we can. They call themselves sungazers and claim that life can be lived without food as we know it. By staring at the sun while standing barefoot on barren sand, rock, mud or soil, the philosophy goes, one can photosynthesize sunlight into calories. Mason Howe Dwinell, a former San Francisco resident, sungazed on and off for a year in 2003 and 2004, was featured in a documentary film and eventually wrote a book about his experience and philosophy. Though he never went more than three weeks without food, he does declare on his website, www.sun gazing.com: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, you can live without food.â&#x20AC;? Dwinell, now of Vermont, suffered only minor damage to his maculas during his days of staring at the sun, but he says his vision never deteriorated.

Elsewhere, sungazing gurus have reportedly lived for years without food. The science behind the practice is not fully understood or thoroughly documented, but its advocates assure: With patience and faith, we can actually eat the sun.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather eat termites. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Alastair Bland

hot pan with chili powder, salt and lime juice. Many customers rave about them on Yelp, though the most common complaint is of their mouth-burning saltiness. Reportedly the crunchy hoppers go well with beer. Mexican markets in Santa Cruz County also offer them from time to time (see sidebar, page 19.) Hint: try Hernandez Market on Portola in Santa Cruz.

But insects need not be rendered into mere bar food, and cooking them at home can produce creative and tasty dishes, both savory and sweet. Iowa State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entomology department website recommends recipes. One is for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rootworm beetle dip,â&#x20AC;? no small portion of which is beetlesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a full cup of them, dried and roasted. The site also includes recipes for â&#x20AC;&#x153;banana worm bread,â&#x20AC;? chocolate chip cookies with dried crickets crumbled into the dough and â&#x20AC;&#x153;mealworm fried riceâ&#x20AC;?

calling for equal parts rice and larvae.

According to the same website, 100 grams, or about a cup, of grasshopper contains 20.6 grams of protein, 6.1 of fat and 3.9 of carbohydrates. (A 3-ounce portion of lean beefâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just under a quarter-poundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; contains 27.4 grams of protein.) Caterpillar contains 28.2 grams of protein per 100 grams. The same volume of dung beetle contains 17.2 grams. And crickets are high in calcium.

CaĂąada traveled recently in Oaxaca and tasted the local chapulines. The critters were delicious, he says, nutty and crunchyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;though the feeling of the legs and brittle body sections shattering over his tongue gave him the willies. CaĂąada says he might be persuaded someday to cook them himself, though they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear on Flea Street CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu anytime soonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least not before we run out of sardines. 0

Smash Mouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismissal from Interscope followed the 2003 release of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth LP Get the Picture?, which was widely panned by critics and left on shelves by fans.

Between then and 2006â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summer Girl, the group was largely MIA with stories surfacing of bad blood between bandmates and hints from Harwell that he wanted to move to Nashville and start a country music career. Harwell also appeared on the sixth season of VH1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Surreal Life, making more than a few fans wonder if the band was doneskis.

What a lot of folks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know was that Harwell was using the time to come to terms with addiction. For years, the only thing he knew how to do better than make music like a rock star was party like one. Living perennially within armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach of a bottle and habitually blowing lines of cocaine before shows, Harwell was a mess. But by the time Summer Girl dropped in 2006, the band had a new label, and the vocalist was on the wagon. Like many before him, he says without music to buoy him, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;not sure what would have happened.â&#x20AC;?

Now on Sony Records, Smash Mouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album will be called An Everlasting Love. Harwell calls it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;total throwback recordâ&#x20AC;? to the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early days of ska pop ruckus. Getting a chance to play at the Catalyst in a city he grew up visiting seems fitting, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Cruz really has a special place for me just because of all the memories I have there,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wanting to play the Catalyst for a while now. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna rip it up.â&#x20AC;?

SMASH MOUTH walks on the sun Friday, Aug. 13, at 9pm at the Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $20 advance/ $25 door and available at www.catalystclub.com or by calling 831.423.1338.

Sweet Dissonance 1/<2/13 27 1/@:=

The Cabrillo Festival opens with a bang and a clang 0G A1=BB ; /1 1:3::/<2

T

HREE CHEERS for Jennifer Higdon! The 2010 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for music upstaged her colleaguesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with all of them presentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;during the two orchestral programs of the Cabrillo Music Festival last Friday and Saturday in Santa Cruz. And the competition was not slight.

Englishman Mark Anthony Turnage is enjoying a heavyweight international reputation, promoted forcefully byâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;among othersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Cabrillo music director Marin Alsop through her performances made on his home turf (and previously in Santa Cruz) and on recordings. Alsop and her crack orchestra played three of Turnageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works: Scherzoid (completed in 2004), Chicago Remains (2007) and Drowned Out (completed in 1993).

What tends to afflict composers of new music for orchestra is remembering the axiom: less is more. Like moths to flame, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s composers of orchestral music are drawn to use all of an orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources, especially one as spectacular in execution as Cabrilloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.Nothing wrong with that, until all the resources are at play at the same time. That results in information overload.

Scherzoid suffered substantially, the other two Turnage pieces to a lesser extent.

Between comments by the composers and excellent program notes by Lawrence Duckles, Cabrilloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audiences are about as well prepared for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming as they could be. Once the pieces are under way, however, the layers of busy-ness throughout the orchestra challenge listeners to track main events in highly congested contrapuntal textures. Imagine every private conversation at a large cocktail party amplified against the collective din.

How Higdon contends with this puts her in a class by herself. Her two works on the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs were concertos, or, more precisely, concerti grossi. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;soloistsâ&#x20AC;? for On a Wire (2009) were six members of the eighth blackbird sextet:

1==: 1/B Composer Jennifer Higdon dazzled audiences at Cabrillo last weekend with the West Coast premiere of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On a Wireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a performance of her Grammy-winning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Percussion Concerto.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

piano, violin, cello, clarinet(s), flute(s) and percussion. Her Percussion Concertoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soloist was the astonishing Colin Currie, who worked three different batteries of at least a dozen instruments and as many sticks and mallets.

Higdon is better than most at seeing the big picture from the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective.

The result is music that is more transparent and better balanced, all under a formal clarity that facilitates a listenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to capture the experience in memory. For all of his virtuosity of composition, the Turnage experience becomes ephemeral by forcing the audience to work extra hard to gain purchase. (Of the three works, Chicago Remains more successfully achieved formal architectural clarity.)

Higdon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want for compositional virtuosity. On the contrary, her ability to manage the interplay between the soloist(s) is of itself breathtaking, no less than the range of her creative imagination. On a Wire opened with the sextet all crowded around the piano with rosined strings woven through the instrumentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wire strings, along with drum sticks, fingernails and hand-muting, altogether turning the instrument into an orchestra as colorful as the orchestra itself. For this 26-minute piece the six players had totally memorized their parts, and it soon became clear how necessary that was. In Percussion Concerto, the soloist at least had a few moments of rest while the orchestra took wing. And

though Currie had his sheet music out, it was frequently obvious that he too had memorized lengthy passages dense with notes at high speed.

Michael Herschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Symphony no. 3 (2009) was a festival commission getting its world premiere on Friday. Speaking from the stage, Hersch asserted somewhat defensively that nothing he could say about its â&#x20AC;&#x153;backstoryâ&#x20AC;? would shed more light; that the music had to stand on its own. He did allow, however, that a personal trauma had been involved.

That proved an understatement. The lengthy first of seven movements offered about 10 minutes of loud, unrelieved dissonance, with little letup thereafter.

A big string theme emerged in the last movement with sharp â&#x20AC;&#x153;wounded animalâ&#x20AC;? cries from the brass that had punctuated the work throughout. A brief charm titled <<rewind<< by the 30-year-old Brit Anna Clyne opened the Saturday night program and added to the general sense of excellence on opening weekend.

THE CABRILLO FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY MUSIC continues through Sunday, Aug. 15, with pieces by Kevin Puts, Sean Hickey, Elena KatsChernin and Philip Glass. For schedule and tickets visit www.cabrillomusic.org or call 831.420.5260.

Watch The Giants Take Over First From The Padres All Weekend in HD!!!

This weekend Phil and Bob return to Golden Gate Park with their new project Furthur, along with 58 other bands and DJs, for the third annual Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival.

Allen Scott, vice president of Another Planet Entertainment, the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer, says he can neither confirm nor deny that another baked goods flyover is in order.

At 3 years old, the Outside Lands Festival has proven it has the staying power to endure and the flexibility to change.

Organizers say the decision to downsize from three days to two was a matter of choosing quality over quantity. The quality of the lineup is indeed hard to deny. Besides Saturday headliner Furthur, it includes Kentucky psyche rockers My Morning Jacket, Tennessee alt-rock giants Kings of Leon, gypsy punk pranksters Gogol Bordello, punk icons Social Distortion and local Santa Cruz favorites Devil Makes Three, as well as the Strokes, Cat Power, Bassnectar, Phoenix, Wolfmother and dozens more mostly rock-influenced acts.

Food and wine are boss again at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OSL, with 33 restaurantsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;90 percent of them from the Bay Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and 26 wineries on hand to showcase NorCalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim as the culinary capital of the nation. And green planning will also again be at the forefront of the party with a solar-powered stage, bicycle valet parking, a farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market and a recycling trade-in center.

Like any good music festival, however, Outside Lands is all about its bands. And considering the first headlinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ties to the musical foundation of San Francisco and its propensity for inviting phenomena like cookie-dumping airplanes, the weekend has the potential to go down as a historic moment in Bay Area rock & roll. (Curtis Cartier)

THE OUTSIDE LANDS MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL jams Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sunday, Aug. 14â&#x20AC;&#x201C;15, in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

Tickets are $75 single day and $140 for both days. For more info visit www.sfoutsidelands.com.

features the voices of James Marsden and Nick Nolte, with Bette Midler as the feline mastermind.

(PG; 94 min.) Even the second tier of animated filmmaking is fairly advanced, and Despicable Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brisk and intelligent rephrase of the evil genius plot makes up for several cul de sacs. The bald, heavyeyebrowed and Akim Tamiroffâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;accented Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is a mad scientist working on his latest plot. If he can steal a shrink-ray just being developed, the Bank of Evil will give him a loan to finance his magnum opus: the theft of the moon itself. The action may be silly, but the directors take it seriously. (Read a fulllength review at www .metroactive.com.)

110 min.) Executives throw a particularly memorable dinner party: its centerpiece is a contest to see which of them can find the biggest idiot to entertain them. Tim (Paul Rudd) finds Steve Carell, and if the tag line is any indication

of the ending (â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes one to know oneâ&#x20AC;?), the idea goes sour for Rudd. Also starring Zach Galifianakis and Jemaine Clement.

121 min.) Intelligent, atmospheric Cold War thriller, directed by Christian Carion, based on a real-life case. In 1981, in Moscow, Pierre (Guillaume Canet), a French technocrat, is mistakenly approached

by Grigoriev (Serbian director Emir Kusturica).

This Soviet officer, sick of his government, aims to help push it over from the inside by passing on information to the West. The Russian is surprised to find out that Pierre has almost no connections with the secret service. Pierreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government asks the amateur spy to carry on, and a friendship develops. The art direction is immaculate; Carion aims to take you on a trip to the vanished USSR, dwelling over the frightening Martian/ Gothic towers and neongreen corridors.

122 Rancho Del Mar Center, Aptos 831.688.6541 www.thenick.com STARTS FRI 8/13! â&#x20AC;&#x153;A total blast! A wild comic journey into the head of a true original.â&#x20AC;?

daughter of the librarian of Alexandria (Michael Lonsdale), is a woman with the rare privilege of being allowed to teach philosophy; her two prize students, both very fond of her, are the slave Davus (Max Minghella) and the well-born Orestes (Oscar Isaac). As little is known of Hypatiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual teachings, the film posits that her concerns were the matter of the shape of the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orbit round the sun (a matter referred to visually repeatedly by a Google Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;like computeranimated rising about the Nile delta and return to outer space).

Who can blame the camera for wanting to leave this island, Earth? The film is an ant-hill-like squabble of different faiths, centered around the increasing viciousness of the local Christian bishop. You can see where the 50 million euro budget went. (RvB)

po!b!kpvsofz!jo!Ă&#x2022;Fbu!Qsbz!Mpwf-Ă&#x2013;!pqfojoh!Gsjebz/ Shortly after Lisbethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to Stockholm, her old nemesis (and rapist) of a parole officer starts stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, trustworthily pockmarked investigative journalist Mikael (Michael Nyqvist) meets a new writer. He and his sociologist girlfriend are trying to expose the sex-slave trade conducted out of the former Soviet Union, apparently abetted by the Sapo, the Swedish Secret Police. Salander is an old-fashioned pulp heroine in a pulp plot. (RvB) 7<13>B7=< (PG-13; 148 min.) The basic idea of Christopher Nolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film is simple. Led by Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a sort of Impossible Mission Force, working for a Japanese trillionaire (Ken Watanabe), descends into the sleeping subconscious of the plutocratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young rival (Cillian Murphy), using technology that allows them to design dreamscapes. Because of the complexity of this operation, the team is forced to create dreams within dreams, and each deeper

dream takes place in an exponentially larger time frame. The film is audacious and frequently thrilling, especially when Nolan folds Paris in on itself and Escherizes interior spaces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visionary filmmaking, uncommon at this scale, with neither the mawkishness of What Dreams May Come or the spiritual horse feathers of the Matrix trilogy.

min.) Crisis occurs when a very settled lesbian marriage is challenged by the arrival of the sperm donor (Mark Ruffalo) who fathered one of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children.

Julianne Moore as a classic California girl: no intellectual, very earthy, a blurter-out of things she probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have said; Annette Bening, amusingly dour, is her hard-working spouse. Director Lisa Cholodenko and co-writer Stuart Blumberg takes their film away from the realm of the typical gay and lesbian film fest talkathon and up to speed with the blogs, Alison Bechdelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

cartoons Dykes to Watch Out For and with the fiction of Mary Gaitskill. As a director, Cholodenko is a dry, tough-minded wit. But the way she analyzes the needy, unpretty cores of these characters is what takes The Kids Are All Right out of the realm of the domestic comedy/ drama and makes it a film to remember.

Woody (Tom Hanks), the toy-size avatar of a cinematic centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of action heroes, is the lone skeptic when the rest of the gang is donated to a seemingly wonderful day-care center run by a toofriendly huggy bear (Ned Beatty). What transpires is a Great Escape parody that is less a joke and more like a captivating (and terrifying) new version of an old myth. Things get very heavy indeed; these talking walking toys end up on the edge of extinction, which is why the seasoned professionals doing the voice acting add the right note of mortality to this sequel. A stunner, all told, in color, action, humor and serious underpinnings. (RvB)

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of August 11 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): When I studied method acting with David Mamet, he taught us to develop such a vivid imagination that we could taste the pretend coffee that we drank out of an imaginary cup. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d feel the heft of the cup in our hand and the steamy heat rising. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hallucinate the bitterly f lavorful smell, and the muscles of our face would move the way they might if we were sipping the real thing. Pop star Lady Gaga didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work with Mamet while she was maturing as an actress, but she got similar teachings. Recently, she told New York magazine that she can â&#x20AC;&#x153;feel the rain, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not raining.â&#x20AC;? And more than that: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm.â&#x20AC;? If you think that you will ever want to have that strong an imagination, Aries, now is a good time to start working toward that goal.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): When they say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go with the f low,â&#x20AC;? what â&#x20AC;&#x153;f lowâ&#x20AC;? are they talking about?

Do they mean the f low of your early childhood conditioning? The f low of your friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions? The latest cultural trends? Your immediate instinctual needs? When they say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go with the f low,â&#x20AC;? are they urging you to keep doing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easiest to do and what will win you the most ego points, even if it keeps you from being true to your soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s code? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to ask you to consider the possibility that there are many f lows to go with, but only one of them is correct for you right now. And in my opinion, it is f lowing in an underground cavern, far from the maddening crowd.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;There would not be such a thing as counterfeit gold if there were no real gold somewhere,â&#x20AC;? says a Sufi proverb. Why am I bringing this to your attention at this particular moment in your life story? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bad news: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in possession of some counterfeit gold that you think is authentic. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news: Within a short time after waking up to the truth about the fake stuff, you will locate the real thing.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a thought from the Cancerian philosopher Gaston Bachelard: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He who listens to the singing of the stream cannot be expected to understand the one who hears the singing of the f lame: They do not speak the same language.â&#x20AC;? While I mostly agree with that poetic formulation, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to be a temporary exception to the rule. Normally you are acutely attuned to the singing of the stream; your skill at reading its nuances are supreme among the zodiac.

But I expect that in the coming days, you will not only have the power to appreciate the song of the fire; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even be able to empathize with and understand people who are entranced by the song of the fire. :3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Paul, a fortune-telling octopus in Oberhausen, Germany, had an amazing run of success predicting the results of World Cup competitions a while back. His technique? His handlers gave him a succession of choices between two tasty morsels, each representing one of the teams in a given match. The treat he picked to eat was the team whose victory he prophesied. I wish I could access his expertise to help me sort out your upcoming decisions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important that you not over-think the possibilities, but rather rely on simple gut reactions. Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you pretend youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an octopus, and imagine that each choice you have to make is symbolized by some food item. Ask yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Which is yummiest?â&#x20AC;?

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): Lewis Carrollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sequel to Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adventures in Wonderland was Through the Looking Glass. As he wrote it, he invited his illustrator John Tenniel to offer editorial advice. In response, Tenniel tactfully suggested that Lewis cut out a certain chapter. Lewis agreed, and so the story, as we read it today, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting with a grumbling wasp who wore a bright yellow wig that sat disheveled on its head like a clump of seaweed.

Think of me as your version of Tenniel, Virgo. As you finish up your labor of love, consider following my recommendation to omit the part that resembles a wasp in a wig. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): If you and I were sitting face to face and I asked you, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are the most important lessons youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned these last 11 months?â&#x20AC;?, what would you tell me? I think you need this type of experience: an intense and leisurely conversation with a good listener you

trustâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;someone who will encourage you to articulate the major developments in your life since your last birthday. Here are some other queries Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pose: 1.

How have you changed? 2. What long-term process needs to come to a climax? 3. What â&#x20AC;&#x153;schoolâ&#x20AC;? are you ready to graduate from? (And by â&#x20AC;&#x153;schoolâ&#x20AC;? I mean any situation that has been a hotbed of learning for you.)

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): The film Avatar hammers out such vehement anti-military, anticapitalist, and anti-imperialist themes that it could have been endorsed by the leftist rock band Rage Against the Machine. And yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highest-grossing film in the history of the world. One critic marveled at its popularity in even the most conservative areas of America, noting that it got â&#x20AC;&#x153;a theater full of people in Kentucky to stand and applaud the defeat of their country in war.â&#x20AC;? Your assignment in the coming week is to do what Avatar has done: Try to make sure that your opponents and skeptics are entertained by your messageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;maybe even excited and intrigued.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): I recommend that you enjoy an abundance of recreational time in the coming days, Sagittarius. But I hope that you will favor a rigorous physical challenge over lying lazily on the beach. I hope that you will read great literature instead of mass market paperbacks, and that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll attend a brain-bending workshop rather than being a spectator at a sports event. Catch my drift, Sagittarius? Say yes to embarking on a vision quest that scares the fear out of you and pumps up your spiritual ambition; say no to wasting away in a puddle of sluggish, circuitous daydreaming.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): Sixty-nine percent of conservatives think that hell is a real place, and over half of all liberals do. Shocking! Ridiculous!

I hope that you, Capricorn, give zero credence to the idea that there is a realm of eternal damnation. In my astrological opinion, believing in hell would grossly interfere with your ability to know the truth about your life right now. So would an irrational fear of failure, an obsession with enemies, or a tendency to define yourself in opposition to bad stuff. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the alternative: To thrive, all you have to do is accentuate what you love, identify what you want, and focus on rewards.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): This is an excellent time for you to get more conscious and proactive about what images you bring into your life and surround yourself with. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always important to monitor the pictures f lowing into your imagination, of course, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially crucial right now. Your mental and physical health are unusually dependent on it. So please do yourself a big favor and gaze upon as much uplifting beauty as you can. Favor gardens over garbage dumps, soaring vistas over strip malls, interesting faces over scowling mugs. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Every year smokers toss away over four trillion cigarette butts, fouling the environment terribly. But recently a few Chinese scientists embarked on the seemingly impossible project of finding value in this noxious waste.

Collecting up big piles of discarded filters, they developed a process to extract chemicals that are effective at preventing corrosion when applied to steel pipes. Your assignment, Pisces, is to accomplish a comparable miracle: Turn some dreck or dross into a useful thing; discover a blessing in the trash; build a new dream using the ruins of an old pleasure.
