JOHANNES MEHSERLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S defense for killing Oscar Grant was that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pulled his pistol instead of his Taser. Video of the incident showed Oscar Grant to be face-down and under control. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t struggling. Why did he reach for either weapon? To stop him from talking? Increasingly, Tasers are being used to enforce respect rather than as an alternative to deadly force. It is not the role of the police to administer justice. Their role is to maintain order and protect the rights of the people but never the former at the expense of the latter.

The Constitution guarantees free speech. That means if I create a disturbance, get loud and whatnot, I can expect to be arrested. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my

right to talk about it all the way to jail without being brutalized or, in this case, murdered for it.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost our right to privacy, illegal search and seizure and unlawful detainment. I could go on, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having trouble remembering anything that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been eliminated from our rights enumerated Constitutionally! When people use the insipid logic that those of us killing and dying in foreign wars are â&#x20AC;&#x153;fighting for our freedom,â&#x20AC;? I really have to wonder what it is they are talking about. Since the coup de 2000, we seem to be increasingly defending a fascist police state. I heard Mehserle is getting out and wants to forget this incident, put it in the past and get on with his life. Not a lick of remorse! I rather hope for Oscar Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake and his now fatherless childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake that he remembers their loss every day and the price theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid for his

childish loss of temper. I mourn his loss and the death of our shared illusions of freedom.

THE TRAGIC mauling of a 75-year-old San Diego woman by two pit bulls who reportedly belonged to a pit bull breeder should serve as a wake-up call for dog guardians. Dogs who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been spayed or neutered tend to be more territorial and more aggressive, making them three times more likely to bite than sterilized dogs are.

In light of this terrible attack, I urge readers to protect their families, themselves and their dogs by reporting known or suspected cruelty immediately and always having their dogs spayed or neutered. Call 800.248.SPAY or visit www.PETA.org to learn more.

[RE: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cyclistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Death Underscores Grim Statistics,â&#x20AC;? June 14]: Sure, Santa Cruz has double the state average in serious injuries and deaths, but this town also has five times the number of cyclists.

The tone of this article suggests people should avoid driving on Hwy 1 because, hey, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where most people in Santa Cruz County die. Most traffic deaths happen on Hwy 1 because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where all of the traffic is, but on an exposure basis (miles traveled) freeways are safer than surface streets.

Sure, bicycle safety can be improved, but when you look at the data with exposure, Santa Cruz bicycle safety is better than many other California counties.

Someone has to ask the awkward question that has as yet not been addressed: Did the bicyclist have working lights and reflectors on his bicycle?

STREET SIGNS

Tiny Tesla â&#x20AC;&#x153;HAVE you ever ridden a motorcycle before?â&#x20AC;?

Rick Ator of Green Motors on Soquel Avenue asks me as he prepares to hand over his shiny red ride. Before I finish describing my very limited scootering experience, he interrupts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good. This oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faster,â&#x20AC;? he says, pulling a piece of shrink wrap off the left blinker.

With the slightest twist of the wrist, the 4,000-watt electric scooter lurches forward like a bull breaking out of a hamster cage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go slow,â&#x20AC;? he tells me as I inch out of the parking lot for my test ride in pulsing jolts of acceleration.

Once I get the feel for the Marin EV ELI 4000, asking price $3,000, I try not to double the legal speed limit on the quiet residential

streets of Eastside Santa Cruz with their white picket fences and vacationing schoolchildren on beach cruisers. Pine trees f lit by overhead as shrill wind whistles through the extra-small helmet hugging my ears. Ator says the scooter isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe on the highway but can reach speeds of up to 55 miles per hour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot of power,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Not bad for something running on a battery. I lurch back into the driveway after 15 minutes of wind-racing trial and error (it took me about five minutes to figure out how to turn off the lefthand blinker).

Green Motors shares an office with Volks CafĂŠ on Soquel Avenue and Trevethan, just past the Hitching Post Motel. In the office filled

with cardboard boxes and car piping, Ator says Zero Motors in Scotts Valley has green bikes that can do better than 80 miles an hour, albeit in a different price range. Their website lists motorcycles that range from $7,995 to more than $10,000.

Here at Green Motors, Ator is â&#x20AC;&#x153;in charge of purchasing, buying, selling, reaping profits,â&#x20AC;? he says, half-jokingly. He is taking a loss on this model, for which he paid close to $4,000 from Marin EV. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK,â&#x20AC;? says Ator, who also works for Volks Cafe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made money on other ones. You win some, you lose some. In the end hopefully you win more than you lose.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jacob Pierce

Poison-B-Gone A ban on superrodenticides goes almost far enough

BY JACOB PIERCE

A

A RECENT decision by the Environmental Protection Agency could prove a small but important step in stopping a deadly epidemic in urban areas among owls, hawks and bobcats. On June 10, the EPA banned four of the most potent rat poisons for consumer use.

Also called â&#x20AC;&#x153;second generationâ&#x20AC;? rodenticides because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been showing up for years in the livers of the predators that help keep rat populations in check, the toxins stop blood from clotting and cause fatal hemorrhaging in animals that have ingested them. The decision bans products like D-Con, Hot Shot and Generation from being sold in stores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect this,â&#x20AC;? says Maggie Sergio, solutions director for WildCare in San Francisco, which has been pressuring the EPA to take action for months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely encouraged by it.â&#x20AC;?

Sergio says producers may put

up a fight in court, and the EPA does not know how long it will take to actually clear the products off shelves. And regardless, their toxic effects could linger. Anticoagulant rodenticides can stay in an animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system for up to 300 days, Sergio says.

The problem has been widespread.

According to the state Department of Fish and Game, 79 percent of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes in the Bakersfield area turned up positive for rodenticide. Near Los Angeles, 90 percent of bobcats sampled had rat poison in their blood.

WildCare has partnered with the Pelagic Shark Research Center to see if the strange rash of leopard sharks turning up on the beach with signs of hemorrhaging is linked to rat poison.

Rebecca Dmytryk of WildRescue in Moss Landing routinely finds birds that she suspects have died of rat poison and worries the ban on consumer use wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address what she calls the real root of the problem:

Insulation Nation No small number of Santa Cruz greenies wept salty tears last July when government-backed home mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac spiked an innovative plan to encourage home solar installations.

But from the ashes of the California First programâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which would have allowed homeowners to borrow the cash for rooftop solar systems from local municipalities, then repay it through property tax assessmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; has risen :cZg\n Je\gVYZ 8Va^[dgc^V (EUC), a statewide program that is perhaps humbler but for which administrators at Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own :Xdad\n 6Xi^dc, tasked with managing the initiative, have high hopes.

Marketed as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;whole houseâ&#x20AC;? approach to energy efficiency, EUC provides rebates to homeowners who hire a participating program contractor to do relatively simple fixes: duct sealing, attic insulation, hot water pipe insulation. A spendier track involves high-efficiency furnaces and water heaters. Rebates vary depending on the energy savings achieved. A plan that saves 10 percent of energy costs nets a rebate of $1,000; one that saves 40 percent nets the maximum of $4,000.

It makes sense to plug energy leaks first before investing in, say, your own personal wind farm. But evidently Santa Cruzans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going for it. Of the 1,000 California homeowners whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken advantage of the program since Jan. 1, none of them reside in Santa Cruz County, the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative home. And only two local contractors have signed up for the training.

Maybe the grownup chores of maintenance and retrofitting just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exciting enough for us. It certainly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a shiny new solar setup you can toast with your friends.

Ecology Action spokesman 7^aa BVm[^ZaY acknowledges that the program may suffer from a glamour deficit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solar is great, and your neighbors walk by and say ooh and ahh, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that when you put pink fiberglass in your roof,â&#x20AC;? he says.

SLEEPING PEACEFULLY Actually, that gopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dead, and Thomas Wittman of Gophers Limited rubbed it out sans poison.

agriculture, where farmers still fight pests with boxes of deadly pellets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How many barn owls are living in [residential areas]?â&#x20AC;? says Dmytryk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more exposure in agriculture and wild lands.â&#x20AC;?

Thomas Wittman, owner of Gophers Limited, also fears rodenticide use will continue unabated on area farms until people find new ways of controlling rats and mice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a problem, but there are going to be really sure alternatives,â&#x20AC;? he says. Wittman, now board president of the Ecological Farming Association, first began experimenting with nontoxic ways to control rats, mice and gophers during time he spent at the UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz Farm and Garden. He says his was the first pest control business to be certified by the Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program. Wittmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular trick, called the Cinch Sure Catch, looks like an extendable grabber and rests on the gopher hole, where it waits for an unsuspecting victim.

Unfortunately the ban is not complete. Professionals can still use the poisons, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is discussing a plan to dump more than 1,000 pounds of brodifacoumâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one of the substances banned for consumer useâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on the Farallon Islands to remove nonnative house mice whose disruptive presence threatens the endangered ashy storm-petrel. The agency has received public comments, including a petition from WildCare with 2,700 signatures, and plans to produce a draft environmental impact statement in the fall, at which point more comments will be taken.

Sergio, meanwhile, says the next target is the professional pest control companies, which have â&#x20AC;&#x153;hugeâ&#x20AC;? contracts and can still use the banned subtances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first step is getting it banned at a consumer level, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next step is getting it out of the market altogether.â&#x20AC;?

The razor-sharp knife of sushi chef

9Vk^Y <gV]Vb will probably never slice through the tender flesh of a bluefin tuna again.

But Graham, head chef at <Z^h]V Hjh]^, is cutting new fish and new ground in an effort to curb the plundering of the seas. Geisha, the newly opened sushi

True Blue

bar and teahouse in Capitola, is one of just several sustainable sushi bars in the world. The concept, initiated about four years ago at San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tataki (others followed in Portland, Seattle and New Haven), means no serving toro, hamachi or unagiâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;three of the biggest draws in the sushi business but also three of the most unsustainable items on any menu.

Graham is instead serving locally caught sardines, spot prawns and black cod and even two tunas: yellowfin from the Philippines and albacore from Canada, both pole-caught and rated â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;? by the BdciZgZn 7Vn 6fjVg^jbĂ&#x2030;h HZV[ddY LViX]. Vegetarian items also play into the menu, like Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempura-fried â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cadillac Ranchâ&#x20AC;? roll of squash and mushrooms topped with walnuts and crumbled vegetable chips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scary thing to do, to say you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be serving hamachi anymore,â&#x20AC;? says Graham, who, along with 6ccde =dc\lVi]VcVX]V^, the son of co-owner 6cX]VaZZ I]VcVX]V^, began planning a sustainable menu months ago while Graham was still chef at Aqua Bleu.

Yet customer response to Geisha Sushiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternative offerings has been strong, Graham says. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve especially enjoyed the locally caught sardines, which Graham fillets, brines, sprinkles with vinegar and garnishes. Another nontraditional fish that Graham has worked into his menu is catfish, which he is serving as â&#x20AC;&#x153;onagi,â&#x20AC;? a replacement for unagi. Graham is meanwhile anticipating the arrival of local mackerel and southern California yellowtail.

Sushi is a cuisine steeped in tradition, but Graham believes that sushi must adapt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where is my unagi?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where is my hamachi?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, if you think that way too long, then pretty soon the whole world has acquired a taste for a regional cuisine, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why bluefin tuna is in the trouble that it is.â&#x20AC;?

For years, Graham has not served bluefin tuna, stocks of which have crashed. Fully developing a sustainable business, however, took longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted for 10 years for sushi to acknowledge that the oceans are in trouble,â&#x20AC;? says Graham, who admits he has felt guilty at times because of his role as a chef in contributing to overfishing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to feel guilty anymore.â&#x20AC;?

But Maxfield and 8da^c 8aVg`, program manager for Ecology Action, like to point out that Energy Upgrade California may actually be more sustainable in some ways, like job creation. Energy efficiency is more labor-intensive than solar installation, most of the cost of which is for materials, and therefore better for the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Insulation is cheap compared to the person installing it,â&#x20AC;? says Maxfield.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the combination of monthly PG&E bill savings and comfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only are you saving money, but your house is just more comfortable and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthier,â&#x20AC;? says Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how tired they are of wearing two sweaters in the winter.â&#x20AC;?

And one day, Clark says, homes could have an energy rating similar to a milesper-gallon ratingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which could come in handy when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to sell.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not cheap. Clark says the average energy efficiency upgrade costs $11,000, with an average rebate of $3,000. Which may explain the real reason Santa Cruzans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lining up for it. At present that remaining $8,000 has to come from a good old-fashioned bank loan, and good luck with that.

That part, however, could change if the county 7dVgY d[ HjeZgk^hdgh votes to participate in the CHF Residential Energy Retrofit Program, an initiative of the California Rural Home Mortgage Finance Authority. It would allow homeowners to borrow the money for energy efficiency upgrades at 3 percent interest, repayable over 15 years. Supervisors BVg` HidcZ and ?d]c AZdedaY sent a letter to their colleagues last month pressing for action.

Improved participation canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come soon enough for the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrators, who have until March 2012 to prove its viability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blazing a trail,â&#x20AC;? says Maxfield, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big state and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a fast timeline.â&#x20AC;?

The Sharing Economy

In corners of Santa Cruz, the seeds of a radical movement are germinating

BY MARIA GRUSAUSKASI

According to social media expert Rachel Botsman, our economy is about to embark on a transformation so complete it rivals the Industrial Revolution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to look back and see the next decade as a momentous turning point: when technology reinvented entire sectors,â&#x20AC;? Botsman declared last month at an HP TECH@Work conference in Sydney, Australia.

Many have already begun turning over the hardpacked dirt of yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethos and tending a new economy in the fertile ground of one primordial concept: sharing.

Botsman and her colleagues call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collaborative Consumption,â&#x20AC;? in which assets such as cars, tools, knowledge and even money are shared rather than owned and social status is based on access rather than ownership. Brian Walsh of Time Magazine named the concept one of the 10 ideas that will change the world, writing: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someday weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look back on the 20th century and wonder why we owned so much stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, when the average power drill is used a total of 15

Ipsupo!hpft!po!b!tusbxcfssz!cfoefs! bu!uif!Ipnfmftt!Hbsefo!V.Qjdl!DTB! xijmf!qbm!Wjotpo!Tnjui!boe!Nbsjb!

Dbsbepoob!mppl!po/!Tupsz!po!qbhf!27/

minutes in its lifetime, the thought of owning one seems kind of silly. The World Wide Web factors into the sharing economy less as a global network and more as a local tool, connecting those who are in need of, say, a power drill with those who own a power drill. (One crucial condition of Collaborative Consumption is trust.)

Here in Santa Cruz, the sea change has already begun. Locals are sharing everything from excess fruit and garden space to fabric scraps, old computers and bike parts. Profits donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to motivate or result from these exchanges. Instead, the valuable currency is knowledge and the power to do it yourself.

Talking to the sharing enthusiasts in town has revealed one intriguing fact: It is the human-to-human interaction that Santa Cruz is getting off on. The environmental implications of reusing, refurbishing and wasting less are only a pleasant side effect to an emerging fetish to connect, teach, help and be helped by our fellow earthlings. Santa Cruz is learning to play exceptionally well with others, and loving it. ¨ "

The concept, modeled after a similar operation organizer Steve Schnaarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend came across in British Columbia, is simple: Share fallen fruit that would otherwise rot with people who would like to eat it.

Schnaar says the idea came to him after years of riding his bike around town and seeing so much fruit going bad on the ground. Although the project is just getting off the ground, it already has 27 sharing fruit trees marked out on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fallen Fruit Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;? Google map, and the Google group has 88 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knock on doors where we see trees really overladen with fruit or fruit on the ground, and line up places that are willing to let us pick,â&#x20AC;? says Schnaar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then people take whatever they can use themselves and give the rest to friends or soup kitchens.â&#x20AC;?

The Santa Cruz Fruit Tree Project teaches workshops on how to make jam and other products from surplus crops. Schnaarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term vision is to make fruit trees inexpensively available to people in town and teach people how to maintain their fruit trees for maximum production.

<VgYZc H]VgZh Urban Garden Shares acts as an online dating site for gardeners seeking gardens and gardens seeking gardeners, with listings by neighborhood to encourage convenient matches. In April the Seattle-born network came to Santa Cruz, where it now has 35 users. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Urban Garden Share is addressing a need that exists within urban populations, because there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of arable land in urban spaces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect solution to a problem in smaller scaled cities, like Portland and Seattle and Santa Cruz, because there are a lot of apartments and there are also a lot of homes with yards,â&#x20AC;? says Amy Pennington, creator of Urban Garden Share.

Local gardener Lindsay Goldberg set up her own garden share when she found an ad on Craigslist seeking a gardener. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had looked into FarmLink,

but it looked like it was too big a scale, and we just wanted something that was small,â&#x20AC;? says Goldberg, referring to the organization that matches retiring farmers with young farmers who have no land. She and her boyfriend now garden a sunny south-facing acre in Happy Valley owned by Will Feitelson. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a situation in which everyone wins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I want is a couple carrots here, a beet, a couple tomatoes there, just enough for my table. I am one man, what do I need? The rest, they can take it. Spread it around, cook it, eat it, love it,â&#x20AC;? says Feitelson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a money deal at all. All I want is someone who can enjoy the land, and turn it into something that makes them feel good.â&#x20AC;?

8daaZXi^kZ L]ZZah Recently expanded in Santa Cruz, Zipcar advertises itself as providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;wheels when you want them.â&#x20AC;? The idea is that people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a car can pay an annual membership fee of $75 and have access to a fleet of cars parked in strategically located sites around town. (There are eight shareable hybrid Zipcars in Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown radius). An hourly rate ($8-9, or up to $72 per day) then covers gas and insurance. Some people love it; others have their doubts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very convenient and just ingenious the way it works, but as far as just trying to be a normal person and using it for rudimentary stuff itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not realistic,â&#x20AC;? says Santa Cruz resident Jacob Bourne, noting that driving a Zipcar to something like a ballgame means paying for a parked car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Craigslist and Facebook usually offer me rideshares to where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta go,â&#x20AC;? says local dancer Jade Dunnaville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zip looks pretty expensive, but I like the concept.â&#x20AC;?

They all follow the same model, sustaining themselves on donations and volunteer work in exchange for their work. Nobody is turned away for lack of funds.

I]Z ;{Wg^XV Wish you had some cool hipster straight leg jeans but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to buy new ones? The FĂĄbrica can help. They see many young men come in with just that problem. The FĂĄbrica shares the fabric, materials, machines and knowhow with anybody who wants to learn how to sew. It relies mostly on donations of fabric. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Historically, for women, this used to be their social life. Now everyone is so isolated on their computers.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very old-fashioned way to help each other,â&#x20AC;? says Marie Wilkinson, a volunteer and retired school teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about being as radical as we can be. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about community and seeing so many different people come through here,â&#x20AC;? says Steph Wolf, co-founder with Ann Altstatt of the FĂĄbrica, as she helps 52-year-old John Fahey lay out the pattern for a bag he wants to sew his girlfriend for her birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about empowering them with the knowledge of how to do something yourself.â&#x20AC;?

I]Z 8dbejiZg @^iX]Zc The

Computer Kitchen set up shop about a year ago and provides the space, tools and advice to people who want to work on their own computers.

They also refurbish old computers and give them to schools and nonprofits that need computers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned more here working here with people than in school. People have come in here with different problems we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen before, so we do the research on the spot,â&#x20AC;? says founder Robert Sese.

I]Z 7^`Z 8]jgX] The first collective to set up at the Hub, the bike church was founded in 1998 by Joshua Muir and has continued to grow since then. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now collectively owned by 15 helpful mechanics, one of whom is likely to approach a newcomer no matter how busy the place is (and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always busy). They have the parts, tools and know-how to fix almost any bike problem and even help people without bikes build one from the frame up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come back here because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cheap and generous shop and because it works,â&#x20AC;? says Muir. He prefers the collective approach because it â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeps it in the hands of the community. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this for the money.â&#x20AC;?

Growing Community A new U-Pick CSA brings people one step closer to their foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; while nourishing those in need in an entirely different way

RENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T these beauuutiful?â&#x20AC;? Rachel Cohen asks, brandishing three bright purple, glistening â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bloodâ&#x20AC;? beets, each about the size of a fist, with thick leafy stalks that look like chard (and can be used like so in recipes). Cohen supervises the Homeless Garden Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natural Bridges Farm, and

the beets sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just pulled from the ground are part of a cornucopiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; carrots, strawberries, dandelion greens, a microgreens mix, leaf lettuce, sage, chard and f lowers, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;available at the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new U-Pick CSA. The acronym CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture: a household buys a season-long

17 It is a transitional program that helps people get on their feet and connects them with resources and a community in the meantime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are down on their luck and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have housing and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have work,â&#x20AC;? farm manager Forrest Cook says of the trainees, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but if you give them work, my experience has been that there is an enormous amount of dignity and goodness, and the garden really is the place to bring that out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a two-year program, someone comes here and eats really the bomb organic food, exercises, is out in the sun, is part of a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all these things really fight the depression that accompanies this situation often. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really how it kind of gets transformational,â&#x20AC;? Cooks says.

Transformational, and sustainableâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Homeless Garden Project has proven it has lasting power in the two decades since it began the first CSA in Santa Cruz County. Since its inception in 1990, an estimated 500 trainees have been involved with the program, and last year alone 335 volunteers from the community also helped out at the farm or the store.

Back when it started, the Homeless Garden Project operated a farm on Pelton Avenue near Lighthouse Field.

Today it makes its home at the end of Delaware Avenue near Natural Bridges State Beach where, in the five years on and off that she has been picking up her produce there, CSA member Flora Zulli has watched the farm grow.

Zulliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-year-old son is now old enough to help pick out their food with his mom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool for kids to see where the food is coming from,â&#x20AC;? Zulli says. Simple as it sounds, that is the thingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the community and the farm seeing and knowing one another and growing togetherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; that allows each to support the other.

subscription to a farm, and in return, once a week gets a box full of fresh produce. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a central idea in the farm-to-table movement, but with the addition of the U-Pick option (call it dirt-to-table), Natural Bridges Farm raises the stakes, eliminating another link in the food supply chainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the delivery and pick-up of the weekly box at a predetermined locationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and allowing consumers to get that much closer to their food.

CSA members get a list of the different fruits and vegetable available that week, along with the letter of each vegetable bed and how much they are allowed to pick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get to do a little scavenger hunt, go find the letter [of the bed] and find that actual item,â&#x20AC;? says Janet Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, a trainee in the Homeless Garden Project who was running the CSA pick-up on a recent Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each bed is labeled, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pick their five stems of sage or 10 leaves of chard, they get to do their strawberries.â&#x20AC;?

A whole U-Pick CSA share for the 23-week season (May to the end of October) started at $434, compared with the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional pick-up CSA, which started at $566. (The prices of both are pro-rated as the season wears on.)

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien had known about the Homeless Garden Project for years while she was living in Santa Cruz, working at a private school and helping take care of her grandchildren. A year ago she lost her full-time job when the school closed its doors, and not long after that she lost her housing as well.

Now she is two and a half months into a two-year program that offers 15 homeless and housing-insecure trainees a daily meal, 20 hours a week of paid work, general job skills and agricultural education. Which is why it might be more appropriate to call what Natural Bridges Farm does ASC, or Agriculture Supporting Community.

Part of the traineesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time is spent on farm chores like planting, and part is spent in classes that might focus on soil, native plants or the care of tools. Trainees, Cohen says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;learn all about horticulture, but they also are learning just kind of regular job skills like coming on time, how to do tasks, how to work together.â&#x20AC;?

Shelved An author goes to Book Expo America and wonders: Where are the books?

BY DANIELA HUREZANU

E

Every year at the end of May, professionals of the publishing industry meet for three days at the Jacob Javits Center in New York for the biggest book trade event in North America. I had attended Book Expo America several years ago, but this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event signaled a deep change.

If there was still any doubt that the Book is disappearing, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BEA dispensed with any of it. About a third of the exhibit was dedicated to various electronic devices that are replacing print, and another third was childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books. I have nothing against childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, but when all of them seem to participate in a contest of garishness for the most outrageous combination of colors, the esthetic model that is being set up is accountable for the bad taste of generations.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BEA confirmed what most writers and book reviewers already knew: that the publication of serious literature, and particularly of literary fiction, has been abandoned by the big publishers to the small or medium-size independent presses.

The few presses on whose tables one could see books with literary appeal were New Directions, NYRB Books, Overlook Press, Other Press, Europa

TWITTERATURE A little bird told us mommy bloggers are the new Michiko Kakutani.

Editionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all in all, about 10 out of hundreds of publishers.

The first day was devoted to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest, Italy. Almost all the panelists who discussed the import and export of Italian books agreed that publishing books in translation (Italian, in this case) in the United States is a heroic enterprise. American publishers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy foreign titles for many reasons, one being that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the governmental aid many foreign publishers have.

Several years ago, an NEA study found that, of all books published in the States, less than 3 percent are books in translation, and of these, less than 1 percent is literature. An Italian publicist confessed that if she tries to sell a book to a Chinese publisher, her chances of success are about 80 percent; in the case of an American publisher, her chances drop to about two in 1,000! But even under these circumstances, foreign publishers try

to penetrate the American market because when a title is successful the success can translate into huge profits.

BEA is a major event for the publishing industry also because there are many other concurrent events that are organized around it.

Such an event was the Book Blogger Convention, which took place the day after BEA ended. Book blogging has become a subculture whose members are mostly women between 20 and 50 years old, often known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;mommy bloggersâ&#x20AC;? because they are housewives who blog about romance novels, horror/vampire stories and paranormal novels. Many of them have hundreds of followers on Twitter, and the result is that they have the power to establish new trends. And the publishing industry has started to take them seriously.

They receive review copies from publicists, and the authors court them assiduously. At the Book Bloggers

reception I met many girls in their early twenties who already have hundreds of followers on Twitter. As far as I could tell, I was the only person at the convention who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tweet.

All these 20-year-old bloggers form a community that is replacing the traditional book reviewers; they know each other, read each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blogs and blog about the same books. So, in a paradoxical way, this subculture is even more limited in its interests than the mainstream media. Though, in theory, the Internet is a space of infinite diversity, in practice many communities reproduce the patterns that exist outside cyberspace. The main difference between the new book bloggers and the old book reviewers is that the former donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any literary â&#x20AC;&#x153;prejudices.â&#x20AC;? They are children of pop culture and the mass media, and have transferred their interests onto the realm of books. Their electronic chatter will soon cover whatever is left of book reviewing.

A Plague of Orcs Nerddomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift to heavy metal

A

A SCOURGE has been released upon the land, right here in Santa Cruz, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the hordes of new graduates. This scourge is of a mythical kind, unleashing a brutal onslaught of epic proportions while raining crunchy heavy metal upon its unsuspecting victims. It ďŹ lls music halls with ghastly sights and sounds as human legions scream for more fake blood.

With battle weapons in one hand, instruments in the other, and tusksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; yes, tusksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sharpened, this plague is known as A Band of Orcs.

Formed in December 2006, the Orcs were first summoned into our realm by a group of Santa Cruz nerds playing Dungeons & Dragons. Of course, the nerds were slain. But not before the Orcs heard the tasty sound of metal music blasting from nearby speakers.

Enchanted, the Orcs knew they must learn the secret to this new magic as Gogog Bloodthroat took vocals, Hulg Elfr.i.p.per and Cretos Filthgrinder picked up guitars, the thunderous Oog Skullbasher smashed away on drums and Gronk! alternated between bass guitar and shamanism. Asked what it was like learning the ways of metal from mortals, Gronk! replies gruffly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It like when great dragon must tolerate existence of annoying gnome, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause gnome know where treasure is. After find treasure, kill gnome!â&#x20AC;?

And kill gnomes the band has. Since its not-so humble beginning, A Band of Orcs has been on the warpath (and in

BY MAT WEIR

character) blowing the minds of â&#x20AC;&#x153;puny humansâ&#x20AC;? wherever it goes. In 2007, the band released its first EP, Warchiefs of the Apocalypse, catching the attention of Iron Maiden guitarist Bruce Dickinson, who played the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring Out Your Deadâ&#x20AC;? on his BBC television show later that year. Then, in 2008, Fuse TV launched its On-Demand service with a month-long showing of the Orcsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; video â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into The Maelstrom.â&#x20AC;?

Currently, A Band of Orcs is getting ready to hit the studio once more, later this year, with a release date of 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like prophecies of Domination say,â&#x20AC;? explains Gronk! And while the Apocalypse hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened yet, the new album will be so ruthlessly savage, he claims, that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;great dragon god Gzoroth will awaken and cleanse this realm with fireâ&#x20AC;? due to the many hordes of moshing headbangers. Until then, the Orcs are cleaning their armor and sharpening their axes once more as they prepare for battle at the Catalyst against fellow metal heads Warbringer, Hatchet, Witchhaven and Exmortus.

Just another day for A Band of Orcs, who live by the ancient warrior code: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go on many raids, play many shows, take home spoils of war!â&#x20AC;?

An East Bay transplant to Brooklyn, Will Bernard is a boundary-bending guitarist that Billboard calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the best-kept jazz guitar secrets on the planet.â&#x20AC;? Deftly navigating a wide range of musical styles from hip-hop and jazz to funk and world music, Bernardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s versatility and experimental tendencies have earned him the praise of critics and the attention of a growing international audience.

Known for his collaborations with a diverse roster of artists including Jai Uttal, Charlie Hunter, hip-hop group the Coup and reggae legend Leroy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horsemouthâ&#x20AC;?

Wallace, Bernard is a multi-faceted musical gem capable of finding his groove in just about any style. Kuumbwa $18 adv/$21 door; 7pm. (Cat Johnson)

The exceedingly literally named Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Brother, Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Sister is comprised of the brother-and-sister duo of Rob and Rachel Kolar. An unlikely mix of twee folk, glam rock and western swing, Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Brother, Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Sister is a gleeful throwback to a bygone time that never was.

The Kolars are joined by tap-dancer Lauren Brown and cellist Satya Bhabha, providing the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curious compositions with a fittingly offkilter live show. Though bands with this level of mannered eccentricity often risk cute overload, the Kolars sell it with their earnestness and everpresent sense of joy. Crepe Place; $8; 9pm. (Paul M. Davis)

After a brief and fortuitous two-year hiatus, San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Two Gallants are back on the dusty trail of touring.

Adam Stephens and Tyson Vogel blend minimalist folk, country and rock into a sound as authentic as their straightfrom-the-heart lyrics. Stephensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinct voice carries a wavering passion reminiscent of a young Bob Dylan.

Taking their name from a short story

by James Joyce about two vagabonds swindling their way through Dublin, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to believe that a night of Two Gallants will leave oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head swimming with soothing melodies in a sea of bridled chaos. Crepe Place; $15; 9pm. (Mat Weir)

6=@/13 /<2G With a career as defined as his silvery voice, Horace Andy has been holding it down for Jamaican reggae ever since his first single in 1967. In 1970 he recorded for the infamous Studio One label, writing a string of hits along the way (most notably â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skylarkingâ&#x20AC;?). In 1978 he strayed from his roots sound with the album Pure Ranking, which anticipated the new sound of dancehall reggae.

Andy continued to be on the cutting edge of music through the 1990s and early 2000s, being the only artist to collaborate with and record on all five albums by British electronic musicians Massive Attack. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $18 adv/$20 door; 9pm. (MW)

Naomi and the Courteous Rudeboys, encompass a wide variety of musical influences, from â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s funk to traditional African forms to Bayou blues. Lead singer Naomi Wilder is a fierce onstage presence whose powerful vocals serve as an ideal foil to the raw grooves laid down by the band. Their live performances have an anything-goes energy that encourages plenty of dancing and a healthy amount

of audience participation. Also featuring Bay Area afrobeat outfit Afrofunk Experience, this show doubles as a benefit for Paradise Recording, the local studio that burned down last month. Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alley; $10 adv/$12 door; 9pm. (PMD)

realized that she needed to heed the advice she regularly gave her students: to follow their hearts. The budding singer/songwriter walked away from academia to pursue her dream of being a professional musician.

;@ 5@33<3 53<3A Jackie Greene furthers his redeďŹ nition of folk at Kuumbwa this Tuesday.

Sacramentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jackie Greene has a sure hand with Americana songwriting that belies his years. For the past decade, Greene has strived to stake out his own turf and transcend the limitations of 50 years of American folk music, and it shows. In recent years, Greene has emerged with a songwriting voice that is very much his own. His most recent release, 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Till The Light Comes, is his most polished work to date, dropping some of the rootsy affectations of past records in favor of a more streamlined folk-rock sound that confidently evokes the likes of Tom Petty and the Grateful Dead. Kuumbwa; $30; 8pm.

BRIDESMAIDS (R; 125 min.)

Annie (Kristen Wiig) is a Milwaukee woman going downhill. Her ex-boyfriend (Jon Hamm) uses her for sex. Suddenly, Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best pal, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), announces her impending marriage.

Lillian also introduces a new, gorgeous friend (Rose Byrne) who elbows Annie aside and takes charge of the wedding.

The wedding planning becomes more pretentious, more expensive and ever more humiliating for Annie. Wiig is at her most comically nonchalant as the desperation seeps out of her pores. In her capacity to register degrees of comedic suffering, this actress suggests what happens when like when a movie is really loose down deep in its soul, and is not just wobbly and formulaic.

But Judd Apatow was the executive producer, and Bridesmaids is shaped like an Apatow film: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a half-

hour too long. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s released as a chick-flick alternative, we still get the traditional pointless fight between Annie and her new man (Chris Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dowd).

(RvB)

CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS (NR; 90 min.)

Director and film artist Werner Herzog (Invincible, Grizzly Man) returns to the screen with an aweinspiring 3-D documentary.

In 1994 a cave in Southern France was discovered to contain some of the oldest known art forms in the history of mankind.

Because of the delicate nature of the cave, only Herzog was allowed to film it, delivering to his audience a breathtaking portrait of who we were, where we are now, and what the future may hold for the human race.

GREEN LANTERN (PG-13; 105 min.) A cocky test pilot named Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) joins an intergalactic brotherhood known as the Green Lanterns charged with keeping order in the universe and fending off an enemy called the Parallax.

Humans havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impressed the Green Lanterns much,

but Jordan may turn out to be their only hope against the new threat.

JUDY MOODY AND THE NOT BUMMER SUMMER (PG; 91 min.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summertime and third-grader Judy Moody (Jordana Beatty) is stuck at home while her parents travel on vacation. Luckily, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her eccentric Aunt Opal (Heather Graham) to keep her company. Together the two scheme up a list of hilarious adventures in this family film that proves thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always time for imagination.

KUNG FU PANDA 2 (PG; 90 min.) Smart-ass dialog and the voices of Jack Black, Seth Rogan, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman and a multitude more spice up the story of the chubby panda Po, who takes on old enemies with a new weapon.

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS (PG-13; 100 min.) Woody Allen wrote and directed this film about Gil (Owen Wilson), a killjoy writer on vacation in Paris with his fiancĂŠe (Rachel McAdams) and her family. When they run into some old friends (Michael Sheen and Nina Arianda), Gil begins stealing away from his party by taking

conspicuously long walks at night. He soon discovers a newfound love for the city, and life, in this romantic comedy that asks the question: Is a different life better, or is it justâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; different?

MR. POPPERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PENGUINS (PG; 103 min.) A house painter (Jim Carrey) finds his world turned upside down when he inherits six penguins, starting with one received in the mail.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES (PG-13; 137 min.)

Sparrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old nemesis Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), now a privateer licensed by King George, joins the fray. Blackbeardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Angelica (Penelope Cruz) has a past with Jack, but not much of a present. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to pretend not to be interested in each other.

The disinterest seems real.

In this scattered, hurried and yet static tale, even the wonderful Fountain itself doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lure Sparrow much; he flits through the tale armed with the magic compass that leads to his heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire. (RvB)

SUPER 8 (PG-13; 112 min.) In 1979, the U.S. government shut down a section of the mysterious Area 51 and ordered all materials to be transported to a secret location in Ohio.

Some, however, never made it. After witnessing a horrific train crash, a group of young friends begin to notice mysterious anomalies around town.

When monster sightings are reported, they arm themselves with Super 8mm cameras in search of some answers in this sci-fi thriller from genre guru J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fringe).

THE TREE OF LIFE (PG-13; 138 min.) Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain star in Terrence Malickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterful memory play about a family struggling with the death of one of their own. The images, sharp and yet lambent,

are of a lost worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a peaceful world that breaks out in storms of color and rage. The Tree of Life is the meeting place of cinema and sacred memory. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an invocation of something that is all-seeing, allremembering, deathdefying. (RvB)

THE TROLL HUNTER (PG-13; 98 min.) When a group of student filmmakers set out to investigate a series of bear killings, they stumble onto a massive government coverup and a race of enormous and very angry creatures.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (PG13; 131 min.) In this prequel to the blockbuster trilogy, audiences are treated to a rare glimpse at the origins of the X-Men. In 1963 the Cold War is at its height and the human population is still not aware of the existence of mutants with superhuman powers living in its midst.

All of that changes when Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) opens a school for mutants to hone their abilities, unleashing a wave of persecution from normal society.

Summer Harvest

N

<= 6/AA:3 ;/@93B The C1A1 4O`[ 5O`RS\ ;O`YSb 1O`b is open for the season! Once again the ultra-fresh harvests from the hilltop farm and garden are brought to the base of the campus on Tuesdays and Fridays (noon-6pm) to tempt the Westside community of organophiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are currently rich in greens,â&#x20AC;? proclaims Center for Agroecology spokeswoman ;O`bVO 0`]e\. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The late season this year has served up all manner of lettucesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;butter, Little Gemsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as arugula, baby spinach, kales and chards.â&#x20AC;? Weighed and wrapped by the current crop of UCSC agroecology apprentices, the debut harvests also offer specialty summer squashes, lots of Asian greens and the ever-popular floral bouquets. Last week I spotted tubs of plump blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and even some rare mulberries amidst the bouquets of sage, bay and cilantro. Created from Farm & Garden produce, your evening salad will exude the literal flavors of the Santa Cruz Mountains in every bite. Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon through early November, at the corner of Bay and High streets. Free parking!

The fest happens at 418 Front St. in downtown Santa Cruz and will feature the wild wok of 8]haS^V AQVcZbh, who promises to stuff the masses with such chickpea gastrophilia as Salvadorean Chickpea Mushroom tamales, chickpea edamame, South Indian dosas, Parsi chickpea cassoulet with chicken, Mexican garbanzo cake and much more. Tickets are yours online at www.indiajoze.com or by calling 831.325.3633.

B63 0==9 =< 23:717=CA Yes, there really is a cafe tucked inside the 1O^Wb]ZO 0]]Y 1OT{, and it is now a completely in-house affair. The freshly made dark roast coffee, from Verve beans, is classic. Rich, almost creamy/salty, this coffee treats caffeine with real respect. In addition to fine pastries, croissants, scones and myriad chocolate possibilities, Capitola Book CafĂŠ also reaches into the domain of lunchtime panini, salads and quichesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all of which can be enjoyed with various designer beers as well as locally made premium wines. Another reason why literacy will never die.
