B3/;E=@9 Kathy and Bill Leach drop off two repossessed motorcycles at a holding facility in Salinas.

“Get this stupid thing out of here,� said A.J., a shirtless, swearing twentysomething as he wheeled out the damaged motorcycle from a covered garage. “My buddy needed some help. My dad helped out and bought him a bike, put it in his name, you know, then he just f laked out, quit making payments, met up with some chick and took off on me. Fucker took it one night; he was all coked up and he crashed

it. Trying to kill himself or something. I wish he had died. Never buy shit for your friends.� After loading up the bike with the help of his wife and making his standard “I hope I don’t see you again� goodbye, Leach had set his Garmin GPS locater to an address in Salinas and hit the road again. There, he’d met an elderly Hispanic couple at their apartment, who, after some difficulty with the language barrier, opened

a small garage and handed over their son’s mint-condition Kawasaki Vulcan, a stunning midnight blue cruiser with barely 2,000 miles on the odometer. Making short but thorough work of tying down the bike and contacting the local sheriff ’s office to report the pickup—a step he’s legally required to complete within an hour of repossession—Leach and his wife hit In-NOut Burger, then set a course for home, their job completed. And now, as Leach expertly backs up the trailer to a temporary holding pen where he’ll unload his payload until the bank sends a diesel truck to pick it up, he lets out a satisfied chuckle and throws his truck into park. “I love this job,� he says. “I’m not their enemy. But people enter into a contract and they need to understand they have to hold up their end of it. Otherwise, they’re gonna see me.� 0

OME 600 people, many with gray ponytails, fill the auditorium at the Sonoma Country Day School. Their earnest metal water bottles clank as they settle into their seats. A short film plays, featuring ugly potato puppets portraying John and Yoko in bed. Instead of protesting the Vietnam War, the two are protesting climate change. Even as a tuber, Yoko remains a fresh object of derision to boomers. Her little potato mouth promises to “scream a song to Mother Nature.� The audience howls delightedly. They remember John and Yoko. A short documentary screens, showing area high school students working for climate change. The audience claps heartily. They’re proud of their grandchildren. An elderly musician in Birkenstocks is ushered on. Dreary songs about the earth’s demise commence, the musician exhorting the dutiful audience to sing along. Sitting in the front row, author and climate change activist Bill McKibben is game. “Save some trees for me,� he mouths, his head bobbing. The musician thankfully finishes and, after a brief introduction, McKibben quickly mounts the stage steps. The feeling in the room changes instantly. Having flown down from Alaska that morning, McKibben has been on five continents during the last nine days. “If the planet isn’t warming up,� he jokes, “it’s not for lack of me trying.� But the planet is warming up. Unable to stop it personally, McKibben is instead the relentless messenger of its alteration. Like food activist Michael Pollan, McKibben is tall, lean, ascetic, ridiculously well educated and somewhat ill at ease in his role of scientific soothsayer. Like Pollan, he’d rather be in his home office writing than lecturing on our imminent demise. Unlike Pollan, he’s still stuck—on this night at least—with the earnest, the gray ponytails, the activists who remember John and Yoko. He’s preaching to the converted, as the Prius-packed

parking lot attests. He’s telling educated, concerned citizens what they already know. Nothing, other than the plain dire facts of his humor-laced presentation, is new to them. His message couldn’t be more important, yet he’s not a household name. Not yet, at least. While Pollan’s meme can be memorized like a short poem—eat food, not too much, mostly plants— McKibben’s is even easier. It’s simply a number: 350. Three hundred and fifty, the amount of carbon parts per million in the atmosphere that NASA’s top climate scientist Jim Hansen has counseled will most closely support the earth upon which human civilization arose. McKibben has organized an international day of action in countries as disparate as Yemen and Croatia slated for Oct. 24 and known as 350 Day to highlight the number because 350 parts per million (ppm) is 37 numbers lower than the 387 ppm level that the atmosphere is currently at. In other words, we’ve already crossed what McKibben calls “the red line� for succoring the climate upon which human civilization arose. By a lot.

Missionary Man The author of 12 books, including the seminal 1989 global-warming text The End of Nature, McKibben, 49, is the kind of easy intellectual who joined the staff at The New Yorker magazine just after graduating from Harvard. He has written about subjects ranging from Hundred Dollar Holiday, in which he outlines spending just that amount on winter festivities, to Maybe One: A Case for Smaller Families, which advocates having just one child, as he and his wife, the novelist Sue Halpern, have done with their daughter, Sophie. But all is not simply an orange stuck in a stocking for the lonely Christmas of an only child with McKibben. His relentless sense of humor and his indefatigable energy make him a fascinating magnet.

A/<B/1@CH 1=; october 21-28, 2009 1=D3@ AB=@G

1=D3@ AB=@G j <=<3 :793 7B 6=B A religious man who teaches Sunday school at the Methodist church near his Vermont home, McKibben needs that energy to survive the task he has set himself this year, one in which he will have spent 355 of the annum’s 365 days on the road, away from his wife and daughter, spreading the word about climate change. For McKibben, it is a moral necessity. He knows the truth about global warming—he’s seen it firsthand from Bangladesh to Pakistan to Phuket to Mongolia to China. Global warming and climate change are not coming, he counsels: they’re here. The 10 feet—feet—of water that fell last month on Taiwan is just one of an alarming number of natural calamities that attest to that. McKibben has had dengue fever in Bangladesh, seen a rock new to human eyes suddenly emerge from a Mongolian glacier and knows that rising sea levels are already salinating the fresh Ganges River. If he doesn’t personally deliver this truth to every person he can possibly grab by the lapels, he will have failed himself. He will have, in fact, harmed his own soul. And so, with red-rimmed eyes and a practiced presentation, McKibben finds himself on yet another stage in yet another town in yet another country trying to convince some 600 people at a time that this is something they should be concerned about.

Broken Chain As comfortable in front of the microphone as at the dinner table, McKibben has told his tale hundreds of times, changing it only to include the newest natural tragedy briefly grabbing international headlines—all of it, save Katrina, in far-off nations that, he passionately declares, “did nothing to deserve it!� But even with an audience of the Prius-driving graybeards reasonably versed in the actual way of the world, McKibben must explain the petty basics of the earth’s ecology. A plant that has for the millennia flowered at a certain week in April when the light and heat conspire perfectly and has been a fecund food source for an insect whose life cycle is keyed to the plant and is itself a delicious meal for an amphibian which awakens from the mud just as the insect is at its plumpest, which is itself a gorgeous lump of protein for a bird whose migration pattern is in part set by the availability of frogs in the area and whose eggs are a yummy treat for a mammal that has come to live yearround there due to the certainty on the

eggs for its own breeding, and which is in turn eaten by another mammal larger and more adept. Its remains are ravaged by scavengers, its gristle dissolved by bugs (which in turn are eaten by the migrating birds whose excrement nourishes the April-blooming plant). All of this rapacious blooming and pollinating and eating and excreting and reproducing and dying has eventually led humans, we of the big brains, to the establishment of such unnatural wealth as is found within any provincial supermarket. It is a cycle so seemingly robust that we simply take it for granted. But this life chain can be—and already has been—enormously upset by something as seemingly simple as a Fahrenheit degree, by an extra centimeter’s worth of water, by a wind that should never have been whipped. “The thing I am doing today is the single most important thing I can be doing,� McKibben says. “We’re going to find out in the next few years whether this big brain [that humans have] was a good idea and if it’s linked with a big enough heart.�

‘We can’t solve it one bulb at a time, not one state at a time, not even one country at a time. We have to deal with it one planet at a time.’ Arctic Alarm A scholar-in-residence at Vermont’s Middlebury College, McKibben has plenty of access to young people and their sturdy energy. In 2006, he led a group of students and colleagues on a five-day walk through the Vermont woods that began at the poet Robert ¨ $

Frost’s cabin (“‘The road not taken’ seemed apropos,� he says) to make a global-warming statement that would end in Burlington. There, his group was joined by others until its ranks swelled to a thousand people marching upon Burlington’s city hall. It was, he realized sadly, the largest public protest for climate change ever yet staged. Astonished that the plight of the globe was so little remarked by its inhabitants, McKibben formed Step It Up in 2007. Using his student team from Middlebury and the endless swathe of the Internet, Step It Up promoted some 1,400 climate-change actions worldwide in April of 2007. McKibben was feeling pretty good about his work. And then the summer came, and then the Arctic melted. “The Arctic sea was slowly melting, and then it suddenly fell off a cliff,� he says. “We were losing ice sheets the size of California every month, at a rate 200 percent above what was predicted. My scientist friends panicked. This was on, and not just Arctic ice; there is 25 percent less sea ice than ever before. Satellite photos revealed that there was a lot less ice up top. Glacial ice is the most unsettling loss of all.� McKibben estimates that 300,000 people will die annually from global warming with just a one-degree temperature rise. “But we expect the planet to warm by five to six degrees more in this century if we do nothing. “We have the technology to imagine what the future will look like,� he

continues. “The scientific method has worked, but so far the political method has utterly failed. We’ve had a 20-year bipartisan effort to do nothing, and it’s succeeded brilliantly.�

Chill for a Day Asher Miller, executive director of the Post-Carbon Institute, a global think tank that counts McKibben and peak oil theorist Richard Heinberg among its fellows, looks at fossil fuels almost fondly, as in thoughtful reminiscence. “The big human story is that we won the lottery,â€? Miller says. “We found this amazing energy source that fueled our society and changed it completely, giving us luxuries and altering the course of human history entirely. Can you blame us for going nuts over it? “But it’s now a moot point. We’re living in a difficult time. We’re changing, and it’s being dictated by climate. We have to be realistic, and we can’t live the way we’ve been living.â€? Perhaps the most sobering part of McKibben’s work is that those worried about climate change can swap out all the light bulbs they like, grow every bit of lettuce that they’ll ever eat themselves, ride their bikes everywhere—and none of it will mean a thing unless our political leaders act. “How do we muster the will to get a global agreement that puts a price on carbon?â€? he asks. “We can’t solve it one bulb at a time, not one state at a time, ¨ '

New at... 1=D3@ AB=@G j <=<3 :793 7B 6=B not even one country at a time. We have to deal with it one planet at a time. “How do we muster the political power to make it happen? We have to build a movement. I say that as if I know what I’m talking about. I don’t. No one really knows how we’re going to muster it.� 350 Day is his latest idea, a creative, almost joyful attempt to unite people the world over in protest against the lethargy of large, First World governments to alter policies, agreements, coal and oil consumption. Miller isn’t pessimistic—exactly. “The environmental movement has failed,� he says. “Guilting people, talking about abstractions like polar bears. Boiling down complex stuff into a simple number like 350 is a good way to use what otherwise has become a battle of data and talking points. “It would be great if people take to the streets on Oct. 24,� he says. “But that’s just one day. This is going to be every day. And it’s already started.� McKibben could be said to agree. “There are no guarantees that any of this will work,� he tells the Sonoma Country Day School audience. “There are scientists who think that the machination we’ve put in process is unstoppable. But the best science says that we still have a window. Because we have that window, we have to fight. For 20 years, I wondered what this fight would look like—and it’s very beautiful. We’re an amateur movement. This is a homemade operation, and that’s the best thing about it.� McKibben’s next focus after 350 Day is the December climate-change conference planned in Copenhagen. The United States will attend, as will other powerful and polluting countries. “Whatever we do at Copenhagen isn’t enough. We know what the bottom line is, and we have to keep at it. The negotiations are occurring between human beings and physics and chemistry. Physics and chemistry have stated their bottom line: ‘350 is our demand.’�

Where There’s a Wallet, There’s a Way The most promising bit of national legislation, according to Ann Hancock, executive director of the Climate Protection Campaign, is something called “cap and dividend.� “It means putting a cap on carbon and every year reducing that cap so that every year, and rapidly, we meet the scientific imperative,� she explains. So-called gross polluters—think Exxon

and its ilk—will have the option to purchase rights to use fossil fuels. Cap and dividend will raise energy prices, it’s true, but the current proposal, put forward by Democratic Rep. Christopher Van Hollen of Maryland, would also offer customer rebates on energy use. Those who use less fossil fuel would receive more money back; those who use more, less. “I think that cap and dividend is the most powerful solution we need to have and that’s worldwide,� Hancock says. “I think that [’60s activist] Sal Alinsky said that most people will do the right thing for the wrong reasons. We’re more concerned with our comfort and mortgage than we are with the climate. Pricing is the way to do it. The option of the right to pollute will generate perhaps trillions of dollars,� Hancock says. “It will torque the whole economy in a green direction. If people have to pay more money for fossil fuel and they aren’t made whole, they won’t reelect those people.�

Passing the Torch Bill McKibben is exhausted. After rallying the audience for an hour of passionate speech, his voice drops. “We set out to organize the world, a ludicrous proposition. Only McDonald’s and Coca-Cola have succeeded. The only part of the climate change movement that’s been left out is the movement part.â€? But the key, he stresses, is the newest generation. “The real leaders of the moment are young people,â€? he tells the sea of gray ponytails. A handful of students on the top tier applaud. Asher Miller agrees. “There’s this generational gap in the larger environmental movement,â€? he says, “and Bill is helping to close that.â€? The next generation has every reason to be involved, as it’s their adult lives, their children and probable grandchildren that are most affected. Climate change is here, and even if every coal facility in the world stopped production today, McKibben estimates that it will take two generations before we can return the earth’s atmosphere to 350 ppm. Miller, who has a toddler, chooses to be sanguine. “I fully expect that the next 10 years will be significantly different than the last 10 years,â€? he says. “Things are different, and the sooner we can internalize that, the sooner we can make changes. “The world is going to be different, but it may not be all bad.â€? 0 1O`P]\ 1]\dS`aObW]\ ¨

Carbon Conversation A 30-year veteran of the climate battles considers a clean-tech future 7<B3@D73E 0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

D

R. STEPHEN Schneider is a climatologist, a senior fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University and a 1992 MacArthur Foundation “genius grant� recipient. He has been in the trenches of the climate change battle since the 1970s and has advised presidents from Nixon to Obama on how to manage the threat posed by global warming. The insanely busy Schneider (the following interview was cobbled together from four separate phone calls during which he was at the airport, grabbing a bite to eat, waiting in a doctor’s office and rushing to class) is also a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. His new book, Science as a Contact Sport: Inside the Battle to Save Earth’s Climate, will be published next month by the National Geographic Society. Writer Jessica Lussenhop caught up with him to discuss the 350 concept—which refers to reducing our current carbon dioxide load to the sustainable figure of 350 parts per million—and more.

There’s no doubt we already have, and we will go far before we go back.

STEPHEN SCHNEIDER: Since back in the 1970s. We were well below 350, and I was trying to get us off the pathway of the mega increases, and we failed. The issue will [now] be: how much are we going to overshoot the safe target?

We have to work across a whole spectrum and see who wins. I call it a “learning-by-doing feeding frenzy.â€? Let’s see how much carbon we can take out of smokestacks and coal plants so that we have a smooth transition towards renewables. And can we put it underground permanently and safely? Not clear. Let’s work on that. How about putting it in high concentrations into algae and the algae can be used for biofuels? Great idea. How about biochar? Let’s take agricultural waste or forest plantation waste, cook them at 300 degrees for an hour and get the natural gas off of the top, and then get char—which is sort of charcoal at the bottom—which you can add to the soil and sequester carbon. There are even crazy ideas to build artificial trees, a chemical process where you run water by certain kinds of chemicals. And then there’s a little company in Silicon Valley called Calera, and they’re going to try and actually see if they can make real cement by a different chemical process that, instead of giving CO2 up when it hardens, it takes it up. So now, will it work? Will any of these things work? We don’t know yet, but we’ve got to give all these clever ideas a chance. Problem is, can you can you scale it up from the thousands of tons in current demonstrated experiments to the hundreds of billions of tons it has to be to offset a significant fraction of potential CO2 emissions eventually. So the big problem is the S-word: scalability. EVOb O`S a][S WRSOa bVOb g]c¸`S \]b a] SfQWbSR OP]cb-

I’m unexcited about throwing dust in the stratosphere. It’s called “radiative forcing offset.� Instead of controlling the CO2, you’re controlling the number of watts per square meter beating on the earth. There are three reasons and yet, in the end, I’m going to say we ought to study it. The reason it’s very unexciting to me is there is a degree of inadvertent climate modification. The second problem is, who do you trust? We now know that the extra CO2 we have in the air—a significant amount of it, 20, 30 percent—are going to last a thousand years in the air. That means we have to have a group of climate controllers for centuries. Do you think that we can

trust this planet to have world peace for that long? I mean, to have cooperation, where there’s not going to be a lapse? And the final reason is, it doesn’t stop ocean acidification.

‘For those people with low incomes, it’s going to be very difficult. For me, it’s going to affect the quality of the pinot noir I drink. A poor person, it’s going to affect the quality of the protein their family eats.’

The only way I could conceive of that they would want to do radiative forcing management would be if the world proves to be so morally bankrupt and does absolutely nothing in the next 25 years, and megacatastrophic outcomes start to occur. You know, super hurricanes and all that stuff. People say, “Oh my God, what have we done?� It takes another 30 years to slow down the supertanker, and then we used this kind of stuff for a few decades while we invent carbon removal geo-engineering. I might reluctantly say, “Well, if you have a heroin addict and you initially get them on methadone on the way to the hospital, it’s probably better than dumping them.�

One is performance standards. California has the lowest energy use and the lowest carbon dioxide footprint per capita. It’s a big footprint, but per capita it’s the lowest in the United States. Europe and Japan are around California. So how could that happen? There’s always been a culture of public protection. California has had, for the last 40 years, rules, and these rules are very strict building codes on double pane windows and insulation and air conditioners and refrigerators and lots of other things. The states have to set up an energy commission and the energy commissions set the rules. The U.S. must do this; the rest of the world must do this. It’s what we call the low-hanging fruit. It’s the cheapest way. Then there’s the tax on carbon. That’s the market solution. It could be a direct price—meaning you just have a tax, $50 per ton of carbon dioxide emitted—or a shadow price, which is a cap. You’ve heard of cap and trade. What cap and trade means is that you cap the emissions, X number of million tons, for the whole economy. Now that means every power plant and every other person has some limit. And you’re not going to cap an individual driving a car, so what you’re going to do is cap the gasoline purchasers. It’s got to be mandatory—either cap or price. I prefer price, I could live with a cap. I’ll manage. The last part of it—for me, I will pay more money. So will you. Everybody will pay more money. But we’re already paying money in the form of burneddown forests and children’s hospitals with asthma. That’s what we call external cost. You’ve got to make the price of energy include all the costs. There’s one side problem. We’ve got a world used to the current price, and for those people with low incomes, it’s going to be very difficult. For me, it’s going to affect the quality of the pinot noir I drink. A poor person, it’s going to affect the quality of the protein their family eats. So not only do you have to protect the commons by having a fee for dumping your waste in the atmospheric sewer, but you also have to deal with the people who would be differentially hurt. I do not believe you hold the sustainability agenda of the planet hostage for poverty. You’ve got to cure poverty, but not by artificial low prices and energy. So what you would have to do is two things: protect the commons through increasing the price of energy, and

then deal with poverty through, say, vouchers for people to buy a very highly efficient new hybrid car, free or low-cost improvement to the energy efficiency of their homes or a cash return. We have to deal with equity, and we have to deal with environmental effectiveness, and this means two acts of good governance in a world that has trouble getting one act of good governance. So I’m not pretending what I’m saying is easy. But there’s no defensible reason we couldn’t do everything I just said. The only thing is political will and people’s awareness. 2] g]c aSS bVOb YW\R ]T ^]ZWbWQOZ eWZZ W\ bVS =PO[O OR[W\Wab`ObW]\-

Dramatically. Relative to the past, dramatically. Remember, in the previous administration we were going in the wrong direction. In this administration, what we’ve got is the political will to get things done. They’ve put their money where their mouth is. They got with the stimulus bill $100 billion—that’s a lot of money—for green tech development. They still have congress in bed with all the special interests in their districts. Every coal mine, every power plant, all the farmers who wants to use fertilizer at the lowest price. These people only think about their own bottom line and their own backyard, never concerned about the country and less about the planet. So the difficulty is, he’s got to fight with the pork barrel lions in congress, including Democrats, and it takes major leadership. He’s got to make compromises, but he’s got to turn the ship around. You don’t turn a tanker around quickly. EVOb R] g]c aSS Oa bVS []ab W[^]`bO\b `]ZS T]` g]c W\ bVS Tcbc`S-

The most important role . . . it depends on whether we’re talking short term or long term. In the short term, it’s to try to explain to people how not to be fooled by the cacophonous and often fraudulent opinions out there. There’s all this nonsense out there and you can’t make good decisions if you don’t have some idea about what’s reality. Then, of course, there’s research and working inside the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]. Long-term role, Crosby, Stills and Nash: “Teach your children well.â€? In my case, I include my academic children, which is where I’m about to go right now to meet with them. 0 /QbWdWbWSa ¨ #

Chamber Fever Two chamber music outfits, one glorious weekend 0G A1=BB ; /1 1:3::/<2

I

N SEASONS PAST, a weekend like the one coming up—with two chamber music concerts on the same day by groups bearing nearly identical names—could have caused mayhem among the classical cognoscenti. Fortunately for both the Santa Cruz Chamber Players and the Santa Cruz Chamber Orchestra, the latter has changed its name to Cadenza, and so order reigns again as a fine season opens for both. Kevin Jordan opens the Santa Cruz Chamber Players season with music for brass quintet. While the program includes a canzon by Giovanni Gabrieli (music often heard in brass programs since the 1950s), that late 16th-century composer had no access to these instruments as we know them today. Quintets made popular by the Canadian Brass and Empire Brass were invented in the 19th century, first by a Frenchman called JeanFrançois Bellon, whose works are now virtually forgotten, and then by the St. Petersburg amateur Victor Ewald, whose Russian-f lavored Quintet in Bflat, op. 5, is included in Jordan’s lineup. The program opens with Benjamin Britten’s Fanfare for St. Edmundsbury, for three valveless trumpets (one part here assigned to horn). Without valves, some of the notes will sound out of tune, exactly the sort of challenge Britten so cleverly designed for the International Trumpet Guild in 1979. Ingolf Dahl’s Music for Brass Instruments from the early ’50s is a highly regarded staple of the quintet repertoire, as is Malcolm Arnold’s Quintet for Brass, a work that ref lects the composer’s own trumpet virtuosity along with the tricks and techniques familiar to all brass players. French Christmas carols will be recalled in Morley Calvert’s charming quintet written for the band

program he directed at Montreal’s McGill University. Meanwhile, opening the 2009–2010 season, Maya Barsacq has changed the name of her string orchestra to Cadenza, and performs three 20th-century masterpieces. Dmitri Shostakovich was 27 when he wrote Piano Concerto no. 1, which encapsulates the many expressive facets—sarcasm, wit, theatricality and pathos—that recurred throughout his creative career. Soloist Brenda Tom is joined by trumpeter Owen Miyoshi in a prominent concertante part. Miyoshi gets a similar role in the concluding movement of Arthur Honegger’s haunting and anxious wartime Symphony no. 2 when he plays a heroic chorale melody over the frantic strings. Now 63, Latvian composer Peteris Vasks ranks among the best of today’s composers. His Cantabile f latters the strings with a rich tapestry of textures and, at one passage, simultaneous

improvisation by all players. “Cantabile is a stunning piece,� says Barsacq. “Its various climaxes and large diminuendo sections are like the mountains of an inner world, the emotional highs and lows that we humans experience throughout our lives.�

SANTA CRUZ CHAMBER PLAYERS perform Saturday, Oct. 24, 8pm, and Sunday, Oct. 25, 3pm, at Christ Lutheran Church, 10707 Soquel Dr., Aptos. Tickets at the door are $20 general/$15 seniors/$10 youth. For more information, 831.425.3149. CADENZA plays Saturday Oct. 24, 8pm, at Holy Cross Church, 126 High St., Santa Cruz.

@32E==2 AC@40=/@2 3FB@/D/5/<H/ Strange but true: most of the surf boards in Waikiki in the 1910s and 1920s were made from San Lorenzo Valley redwood—our thank-you gift, you might say, to Hawaii for choosing Santa Cruz as the place to introduce surfing to the mainland. The San Lorenzo Valley Museum kicks off a new show celebrating this fact with a shindig tonight complete with free refreshments and booksigning by local surfer/author Thomas Hickenbottom. (Pictured above at left, David Kahanumoku shapes a redwood board on Waikiki in 1926; at right, Santa Cruz shaper Johnny Rice goes retro with a big tree board of his own.) Saturday, Oct. 24, at 6pm, San Lorenzo Valley Museum, 12547 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek; 831.338.8382.

Jonze and Eggers’ version of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ will leave fans at a loss 0G @716/@2 D=< 0CA/19

T

HE BEASTS are touchy, certainly not touchy-feely, and not very touching. The Spike Jonze/Dave Eggers live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are won’t tread on many people’s dreams, but you may leave at a loss. The film is staged in an Australian forest, dusty and ringed by a cliff; this island is the domain of seven or eight depressed creatures who talk like Elaine May and Mike Nichols monologues. They’re cautious and fretful; they nurse passive little grudges and snipe at each other. When baffled, they make urbane little humming sounds, like someone at a museum trying to understand a particularly difficult painting. Where the Wild Things Are doesn’t talk down to kids. It gives them all due respect for the towering moods in small bodies, all acknowledgment of that miasma of depression that sensitive children wander through. But children’s moods change, and this film’s mood doesn’t. It’s essentially gloomy, like Peanuts strips clipped of their punch lines. Any moment of physical elation gets its counterpoint: the rumpusing beastliness ends with some injury, as per Mom’s warning about how it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Sometimes the incidents of violence get extreme—against birds, for instance— and this fulfills the promise of a Harmony Korine children’s special seen in the first shaky images. Max Records seems just right as Max, the little boy whose father is out of the picture; he’s being raised by a loving but tired mother (Catherine Keener). After a snowball fight goes against him, the boy

;33B B63 <3E 0=AA Max lords it over the beasts in ‘Where the Wild Things Are.’

throws a tantrum, hopping up on the kitchen counter and bellowing, Richard Harris–wise, “Feed me, woman!� (Come to think of it, the funniest bit in Eggers’ Away We Go was the husband trying to talk macho sports-smack.) After a particular extreme bit of bad behavior, Max runs away to a local pond, where a sailboat waits. When he arrives on the island, Sendak’s 388-word plot is acted out: Max is made king not because of his size but because of his storytelling. He gets the most trust from the rage-prone beast Carol (voiced by James Gandolfini). The other wild things are faithful copies of Sendak’s bestiary—something between Chagall and Goya. They accept their newly crowned and sceptered king with muted enthusiasm, forming ever-shifting cliques. Judith (Catherine O’Hara), a rhino-horned anthropoid, is the most cutting and dangerous; KW (Lauren Ambrose) is the most maternal. The beasts aren’t always violent, but they always stare. They’re always sizing Max up; and they’re rough beasts, with mucousy noses and battle scratches. They are scarier than the book’s creatures. Then again, when he was a kid, this Universal

Monsters fan never thought those Wild Things were quite scary enough. Those Sendak beasts were such dumplings. Being the whimsical birthday clown of American letters, Eggers has made a career of trying to oppose the critical impulse in himself and others—of trying to get in tune with an inner child who must never be silenced by adult concerns. (We see this kind of storytelling in Max’s scene of weaving a tale of vampires and skyscrapers.) The problem of that approach is obvious: work that’s formless and cute and drifty. There’s no artistic force behind this movie, only whims and anxieties. A parting word from the beasts—“When you go home, will you say good things about us?�—seems addressed to a baffled audience. WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE (PG; 94 min.), directed by Spike Jonze, written by Jonze and David Eggers, based on the book by Maurice Sendak, photographed by Lance Acord and starring Max Records and James Gandolfini, plays countywide.

(R; 113 min.) All the themes in the Coen brothers’ previous films blend harmoniously in this terrific tale of comedic woe and horror. Minneapolis, 1967: a meek professor Larry Gopnik (stage actor Michael Stuhlbarg, looking like a dispirited Harold Lloyd) teaches physics at a small college. Gopnik is tantalized with the possibility of tenure, betrayed by his wife with their neighbor Sy Ableman, a clammy, polyesterclad swine (Fred Melamed, brilliant). Gopnik’s son Danny (Aaron Wolff ) has a cowlike indifference to his father’s plight. And Larry must take charge of his unemployable brother Arthur (Richard Kind), an obese holy fool. The postmodern moments give A Serious Man a vaudeville kick: a prologue about the appearance of a demon in the old-time Jewish ghetto is staged like a lost episode of Mario

Bava’s Black Sunday. In another of this film’s parables, a Hebrew message is carved by God into the teeth of a gentile to teach—what? some indecipherable lesson, like the physics equations on Larry’s chalkboard, like the Hebrew letters Danny is too dumb to learn. Photographer Roger Eakins and composer Carter Burwell do outstanding work making these episodes coalesce into a fever dream of persecution and encroachment. (RvB)

It’s been 20 years since Michael Moore made Roger & Me, about the layoffs that devastated Flint, Mich. The only thing that has changed today is that Flint is worse, and its woes have spread throughout the United States. Moore makes a nationwide tour of today’s wreckage.

127 min.) There are some great kisses in it. It’s an unusually f lowery film from this thorny director Jane Campion, suggesting the troubled relationship of Fanny Brawne (Abby Cornish) and the poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) as an idyll of hyacinths and daffodils, birdsong and butterf lies surrounded by slums. Circa 1820, Keats is loved by Fanny, an independent-minded girl who made some money through sewing and design. Acting as a brake on this romance: Charles Armitage Brown, Keats’ friend, fellow poet and selfappointed watchdog. Paul Schneider’s salty and scene-stealing performance as this ironist matches Keats’ poem “Character of Charles Brown.� The sad fact is that poetry read onscreen seems f lat, and the better the poetry is, the f latter it sounds. Campion’s approach is far more interesting than the customary MerchantIvory or Jane Austen–

(PG-13; 114 min.) This ensemble comedy, the title of which is such a genuine masterpiece of high-concept that it renders further plot description completely pointless, stars Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Kristen Bell and Kristin Davis. More importantly, as far as I’m concerned, it was directed by Peter Billingsley, better known to all of us as Ralphie in A Christmas Story. He was one of those child stars I kept hearing was dead or working in porn. Congrats, Peter, for either avoiding both of those pitfalls, or being the most successful zombie porn star in Hollywood!

But even five decades later, none of them can match this for sheer suspense.

The Basterds themselves are a band of homicidal Jewish guerrillas indebted to their leader, Brad Pitt’s Aldo Raine, for 100 Nazi scalps. Yet this is a genuine art movie. Here in cinema form is an essay about Tarantino’s fascination with and distate for the war film. (RvB) B63 7<D3<B7=< =4 :G7<5 (PG-13; 100

The acting is superior on down the line. As the parents, Marcia Gay Harden and Daniel Stern have a fond rapport, and in a noteworthy comeback role Juliette Lewis smolders away as the well-motivated villain on a rival team. Scriptwriter Shauna

Cross’s wit lets Page hold the screen like never before. (RvB) H=;073:/<2 (R; 88 min.) Under a plague of the living dead, the United States is in ruins, and the nervous college-age hero ( Jesse Eisenberg) calls the dreadful landscape Zombieland. He joins three reluctant companions: a Twinkies-loving cowboy called Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a fast female loner named Wichita (Emma Stone) and her little sis, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). They head to a place where they think the light at the end of the tunnel still shines: Disneyland, renamed “Pacific Playland.� There’s merit to the idea of a turkey-shoot zombie-killing finale amid colored lights and spinning rides, but the film doesn’t get more imaginative than anything seen in the previews. Under Ruben Fleischer’s bare-bones direction, Zombieland is slathered with narration. Harrelson is a fierce-looking party, but he doesn’t get Western-lyrical enough. (RvB)

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of October 21 /@73A (March 21–April 19): “The clouds are the most fertile part of the sky,� writes Guy Murchie in his book The Seven Mysteries of Life. Microbes with short life cycles live there in abundance, “eating, breathing, excreting, floating, swimming, competing, reproducing.� Next time you look up at a puffy cumulus, see it as a large city that hosts a teeming host of living things. Speaking of invisible fecundity, let’s turn our attention to you. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are largely unaware of how much creative energy has been building up within you. Your homework is to tap into it and unleash it. B/C@CA (April 20–May 20): My friend Alcea, the pagan priestess who leads group rituals, is a responsible sort who has humble respect for the power of the spirit realms. She thinks there can be value in seeking help from the beings who dwell on the other side of the veil, but you’ve got to be careful. They can be as clueless and misguided as the less evolved characters who live on the material plane. That’s why Alcea is especially impeccable around this time of year, when the veil between the worlds is thinner and our dimension is more accessible to the spirits. Having said all that as a caveat, Taurus, I want to let you know that this would be an excellent time for you to call on the help of your most intelligent, interesting and loving ancestors.

53;7<7 (May 21–June 20): “He who loves 50 people has 50 woes,� said Buddha. “He who loves no one has no woes.� Even if you agree with this sour observation, I urge you to override the warning it implies. Now, more than ever, you can and should attract rich benefits into your life by expanding the frontiers of your empathy—even if it means you will feel the hurts of others more deeply. And what exactly are those rich benefits? Here’s one: Getting close-up views of the ways people suffer will help you avoid suffering like that yourself in the future. 1/<13@ (June 21–July 22): In the film Postcards From the Edge, the character played by Meryl Streep made a monumental declaration: “Instant gratification takes too long.� I know exactly what she meant. Sometimes I wish I could have what I want before I have to endure even a moment of frustrated longing. I bring this up, my fellow Cancerian, because in the coming week we may get our yearnings satisfied before we fully express them. Of course, there could be a downside to this situation: Since the magic will be materializing so quickly, you’d better be very sure you really want what you even start to wish for.

:3= (July 23–Aug. 22): Cement is the most common human-made material in the world. Combined with water to make concrete, it is a fundamental ingredient in many buildings and roads. And yet no one knew its precise structure until recently. Then a group of scientists figured out that its strength comes not from its orderliness but rather from its messiness. At the atomic level, cement’s molecules display both regular geometric patterns and areas of random variation. It’s in these chaotic areas that water molecules bind with the cement, creating a structure that’s both flexible and robust. This is the kind of foundation I urge you to work on in the coming weeks, Leo—a configuration that will endure exactly because it has a lot of give.

D7@5= (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): In my dream last night, the High Priestess from the Tarot deck came to life and gave me the following message: “Tell Virgos that when their deep hunger starts to stir, they should not eat from the bowl of delicious seeds. That meager meal would not satisfy their deep hunger. Rather, they should plant those seeds and let them grow up. The resulting harvest will satisfy their deep hunger.� :70@/ (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): It’s an excellent time to see if you can remove some of the neurotic twitches from your erotic itches. For example, you could use all your ingenuity to talk yourself out of the silly guilt you feel for having a certain idiosyncratic desire—a desire that, if acted out, would hurt no one, and that is therefore, by definition, healthy. Here’s another possibility: You could invoke the full powers of your imagination as you free yourself from things that prevent you from experiencing maximum pleasure, like old wounds, simmering anger, rank egotism and limiting beliefs. A1=@>7= (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): The astrological vibes

suggest that you open yourself wide, try everything, and give freely. I urge you to adapt as your motto an exhortation that once came out of the mouth of the seven-year-old cartoon character Dennis the Menace: “Hey! Wake up! Let’s go everywhere and do everything!� More than any other phase in many moons, Scorpio, this is your moment to make YES your battle cry. The world is asking you to be bigger than the old you, wilder than five blood oaths put together, and as strong as the full moon rising over a mountain.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): The average middle class person alive today has more goodies than the kings and queens of times past. In fact, even during this time of economic retrenchment, most of us have a higher standard of living than 99 percent of all the humans who’ve ever walked the planet. In pointing this out, I don’t mean to discount the suffering of those who’ve lost their jobs and homes. But I think it’s helpful to keep our collective deprivations in perspective. Similarly, I like to remember that no matter how much our personal trials may test us, they are more bearable than, say, the tribulations of the generation that lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Keep this in mind, Sagittarius. As you wander in the limbo between the end of one chapter of your life story and the beginning of the next chapter, it’ll really help to stay conscious of how blessed you are. Halloween costume suggestion: a saint tending to the needs of the dispossessed and underprivileged. 1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): It’s prime time for intense and momentous social events. Of the gatherings you may attend, I hope you’ll find at least one that fits the following descriptions: 1. a warm fluidic web of catalytic energy where you awaken to new possibilities about how to create close alliances; 2. a sweet, jangly uproar where you encounter a strange attractor—a freaky influence that makes the hair on the back of your neck rise and lights up the fertile parts of your imagination; 3. a sacred party where you get a novel vision of how to connect with the divine realms more viscerally. Halloween costume suggestion: something that incorporates a hub, wheel, or web. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): The members of the congregation at St. Peter-at-Gowts Church in Lincoln, England, had a minor crisis a few years ago. For years, they had prayed to a very old stone sculpture they assumed was a likeness of the Virgin Mary. Then a nosy archaeologist came poking around and informed them that the figure was actually Arimanius, the god of the underworld in the ancient Mithraic religion. I encourage you to make sure you’re not under a comparable misimpression, Aquarius. This is an excellent time, astrologically speaking, for you to seek the help of higher powers, but it’s crucial that you direct your invocations to the right source. >7A13A (Feb. 19–March 20): Some of history’s worst tyrants have been terrified by kittens. Napoleon, Genghis Khan and Mussolini all had ailurophobia, a morbid and irrational fear of domestic felines. Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar were also discombobulated by cats. I bring this up, Pisces, because it reminds me of a certain situation in your life. I’m betting that a pushy or domineering influence that distorts your emotions will soon be susceptible to being spooked by a seemingly harmless little thing. Maybe you could turn this into a permanent advantage. How skilled are you at purring?

STUCK AT 85 As I was putting away my open house signs, an elderly gentleman approached and asked if I would mind opening back up and showing him the house on display. Of course I readily agreed. He introduced himself as Dexter. Wearing a baseball cap (properly placed, not backwards ) he had a pleasant face, was dressed in a jaunty manner, and the possessor of gentle eyes. His vital spirit was apparent. People can be 20 or 95 and you can tell if they are really alive by this spirit. Hard to describe. Maybe it’s more of an interest and vitality for life. In any case, he had it.

Dexter then explained that his home was in foreclosure. I did not want to ask about the details as this was obviously difficult for him to talk about. He said he was 85 and his wife was 78. She was experiencing a lot of grief over the situation. He seemed more resigned. I showed him around the manufactured home in Vista del Lago in Scotts Valley. This is a great park with seven beautiful lakes including a resident swan. A great deal may I add, for $244,000. I thought it might work for him. A further encumbrance for him is their large old dog, Shane. Most parks have weight restrictions for dogs of around 35 pounds. Vista del Lago is an exception. I was told by the management they use a dog by dog judgment call. However, upon further discussion, it looked like Dexter would not qualify financially. I enquired why he did not want to consider renting and he said the same restrictions apply for most rentals, they don’t want dogs, and especially large dogs. The weight dividing dog-line has always puzzled me. Small dogs can be wonderful. They can also be irritatingly yippy and bite. Or not. Big dogs can be lazy, quiet and loving. Dogs are like people – they vary and should be judged on their demeanor not size, in my opinion. Dexter said he had enough money to buy a cheap trailer in another area but all his medical helpers were here and he had built up trust in them and did not like the idea of starting with others. He went on his way but I thought, don’t let this happen to you! The big you out there. For him, slippage occurred, you must build walls of options and tend them faithfully. A big economic tip: for fun and good food, what a deal! Sundays from 3:30 to 7:30 take in the Santa Cruz Jazz group at Bocci’s Cellar while enjoying a delicious $7 meal. That’s seven dollars folks. Lots of great jazz players and singers. Start humming about your next real estate investment and hurry hurry if you want to get the $8,000 stimulus….call for details.
