OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE We’ve been planning this week’s cover story for quite a while. With the second anniversary of Charlottesville approaching, and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe in town with his new book on the subject, it seemed like an important story. McAuliffe was thrust into the national spotlight when he spoke out defiantly against the white supremacists who had come to his state in August 2017 to stage a violent “Unite the Right” rally, with one of them murdering Heather Heyer and injuring 19 others by driving his car into a crowd of counter-protestors. McAuliffe’s condemnation of the racists stood in stark contrast to the infamous remarks made by President Donald Trump, who outrageously declared there were “very fine people on both sides.” With his credibility as a leader well-established, and his

JUSTICE SERVED?

Re: “Musical Justice” (GT, 7/17): Is it unreasonable to wonder if the Ruth Bader Ginsburg cult—is there any other word for it?—is really a healthy thing in a constitutional republic?

Are the Ginsburg cultists—again, can anyone say that is an unreasonable description?—remotely capable of a critical judgment of any of her acts as a public servant? Do they find it offensive that anyone would refer to her as a public servant? ALBERT ALIOTO | SAN FRANCISCO

DUNN IT AGAIN Geoff Dunn has done it again! “In Search of Ah Fook” (GT, 7/10) has to be one of the best pieces of local historical writing published in Good Times.

Hope to see more of these. Thank you, Geoff, and keep up the good work! EDITA MCQUARY | WATSONVILLE

first-hand insights into the state of emergency that the violence in Charlottesville created, McAuliffe is a natural choice to turn this tragedy into an opportunity to set an agenda for combatting the new wave of white supremacy. Likewise, our own Steve Kettmann, who worked with McAuliffe on the former governor’s previous book, and was actually the one who suggested that he pursue this Charlottesville book in the first place, seemed like the ideal person to interview him for the cover story. There was no way we could have known that the events of last week would make this story even more timely. Trump’s attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color at a rally in North Carolina last Wednesday—which led to chants of “Send her back!” that the president later falsely claimed to have tried to stop, before flip-flopping again to praise the widely-denounced racist agitators—has added a level new level of intensity to the battle to protect the basic rights and moral principles of our country. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

MEASURE S IN ACTION As an educator, parent, and active volunteer with the Friends of the Capitola Library, I was thrilled to see Wallace Baine’s article (GT, 7/10) celebrating our brand-new library, now under construction. This is a real community accomplishment—the result of years of planning, fundraising, and campaigning for Measure S—the 2016 bond measure that’s now funding improvements at all 10 branches in the Santa Cruz Public Library System.

And even though Capitola is my local branch, I want to add a strong voice of support for the library mixed-use project now planned for downtown Santa Cruz. The downtown branch is the largest, most heavily used branch in the system, and it holds many special collections and services that all the other branches depend on, but it’s in terrible condition and way past its useful lifetime. The library mixed-use project can be a keystone project for downtown, providing a first-class new library, affordable housing, and much-needed parking for workers and visitors. Including libraries as part of mixed-use projects, with housing >8

SCURRY OF INTEREST

Recruitment is underway for Sheriff Jim Hart’s advisory team. Sheriff’s Advisory Team members meet with Hart once a month to share concerns and solutions that will make our community a better place to live. The team will also get a behind-the-scenes look at the county’s facilities and jails, and go on ride-alongs with patrol staff. For information, call 454-7618 or email Dalissa.Escobar@ santacruzcounty.us.

We would like to congratulate Emily the Live Oak squirrel, who dominated news coverage this month. In the process, the infamous squirrel gave us a respite from the normally grim local news cycles. She garnered headlines first for biting her human neighbors, then for getting kidnapped (ahem, we mean relocated) and finally for escaping and running away. Here’s hoping she moves to Santa Cruz, so that she can run for City Council.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 24 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

After analyzing unusual animal behavior, magnetic fluctuations, outbreaks of mayhem on Twitter, and the position of the moon, a psychic has foretold that a moderate earthquake will rumble through the St. Louis, Missouri area in the coming weeks. I don't agree with her prophecy. But I have a prediction of my own. Using data about how cosmic forces are conspiring to amuse and titillate your rapture chakra, I predict a major lovequake for many Aries between now and Aug. 20. I suggest you start preparing immediately. How? Brainstorm about adventures and breakthroughs that will boost exciting togetherness. Get yourself in the frame of mind to seek out collaborative catharses that evoke both sensory delights and spiritual insights.

I predict that between now and the end of the year, a Libran genetic engineer will create a new species of animal called a dat. A cross between a cat and a dog, it will have the grace, independence and vigilance of a Persian cat and the geniality, loyalty and ebullient strength of a golden retriever. Its stalking skills will synthesize the cat's and dog's different styles of hunting. I also predict that in the coming months, you will achieve greater harmony between the cat and dog aspects of your own nature, thereby acquiring some of the hybrid talents of the dat.

"Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are," wrote Taurus philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. You could use that idea to achieve a finer grade of peace and grace in the coming weeks. The navel-gazing phase of your yearly cycle has begun, which means you'll be in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms if you get to know yourself much better. One of the best ways to do that is to analyze what you pay most attention to. Another excellent way is to expand and refine and tenderize your feelings for what you pay most attention to.

Scorpio poet Marianne Moore (1887-1972) won the Pulitzer Prize and several other prestigious awards. She was a rare poet who became a celebrity. That's one of the reasons why the Ford car company asked her to dream up interesting names for a new model they were manufacturing. Alas, Ford decided the 43 possibilities she presented were too poetic and rejected all of them. But some of Moore's names are apt descriptors for the roles you could and should play in the phase you're beginning, so I'm offering them for your use. Here they are: 1. Anticipator. 2. The Impeccable. 3. Tonnere Alifère (French term for "winged thunder"). 4. Tir á l'arc (French term for "bull's eye"). 5. Regina-Rex (Latin terms for "queen" and "king").

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano wrote that in Havana, people refer to their friends as mi sangre, my blood, or mi tierra, my country. In Caracas, he reported, a friend might be called mi llave, my key, or mi pana, my bread. Since you are in the alliance-boosting phase of your cycle, Gemini, I trust that you will find good reasons to think of your comrades as your blood, your country, your key or your bread. It's a favorable time for you to get closer, more personal and more intimate. The affectionate depths are calling to you.

It's conceivable that in one of your past lives you were a pioneer who made the rough 2,170-mile migration via wagon train from Missouri to Oregon in the 1830s. Or maybe you were a sailor who accompanied the Viking Leif Eriksson in his travels to the New World 500 years before Columbus. Is it possible you were part of the team assembled by Italian diplomat Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, who journeyed from Rome to Mongolia in the 13th century? Here's why I'm entertaining these thoughts, Sagittarius: I suspect that a similar itch to ramble and explore and seek adventure may rise up in you during the coming weeks. I won't be surprised if you consider making a foray to the edge of your known world.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Your emotional intelligence is so strong right now that I bet you could alleviate the pain of a loved one even as you soothe a long-running ache of your own. You're so spiritually alluring, I suspect you could arouse the sacred yearning of a guru, saint or bodhisattva. You're so interesting, someone might write a poem or story about you. You're so overflowing with a lust for life that you might lift people out of their ruts just by being in their presence. You're so smart, you could come up with at least a partial solution to a riddle whose solution has evaded you for a long time.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

The Queen of North America and Europe called me on the phone. At least that's how she identified herself. "I have a message for your Leo readers," she told me. "Why Leo?" I asked. "Because I'm a Leo myself," she replied, "and I know what my tribe needs to know right now." I said, "OK. Give it to me." "Tell Leos to always keep in mind the difference between healthy pride and debilitating hubris," she said. "Tell them to be dazzlingly and daringly competent without becoming bossy and egomaniacal. They should disappear their arrogance but nourish their mandate to express leadership and serve as a role model. Be shiny and bright but not glaring and blinding. Be irresistible but not envy-inducing."

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 When the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago, the crocodiles didn't. They were around for 135 million years before that era, and are still here now. Why? "They are extremely tough and robust," says croc expert James Perran Ross. Their immune systems "are just incredible." Maybe best of all, they "learn quickly and adapt to changes in their situation." In accordance with the astrological omens, I'm naming the crocodile as your creature teacher for the coming weeks. I suspect you will be able to call on a comparable version of their will to thrive. (Read more about crocs: tinyurl.com/ToughAndRobust.)

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 "My only hope is that one day I can love myself as much as I love you." Poet Mariah Gordon-Dyke wrote that to a lover, and now I'm offering it to you as you begin your Season of Self-Love. You've passed through other Seasons of Self-Love in the past, but none of them has ever had such rich potential to deepen and ripen your self-love. I bet you'll discover new secrets about how to love yourself with the same intensity you have loved your most treasured allies.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Congrats, Virgo! You are beginning the denouement of your yearly cycle. Anything you do to resolve lingering conflicts and finish up old business will yield fertile rewards. Fate will conspire benevolently in your behalf as you bid final goodbyes to the influences you'll be smart not to drag along with you into the new cycle that will begin in a few weeks. To inspire your holy work, I give you this poem by Virgo poet Charles Wright: "Knot by knot I untie myself from the past / And let it rise away from me like a balloon. / What a small thing it becomes. / What a bright tweak at the vanishing point, blue on blue."

"Poems can bring comfort," writes Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield. "They let us know . . . that we are not alone— but they also unseat us and make us more susceptible, larger, elastic. They foment revolutions of awareness and allow the complex, uncertain, actual world to enter." According to my understanding of upcoming astrological omens, Pisces, life itself will soon be like the poems Hirshfield describes: unruly yet comforting; a source of solace but also a catalyst for transformation; bringing you healing and support but also asking you to rise up and reinvent yourself. Sounds like fun!

Bleating Hearts Do goat yoga for the fun, not the down dogs BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

et’s be honest: no one is here to sweat. We’re here for the tiny hooves and the bleats. Forget the planks and down dogs, and bring on the baby goats. In retrospect, it’s astounding we haven’t covered goat yoga yet given how obsessed Santa Cruz is with yoga. There’s laughing yoga, stand-up paddle board yoga, even broga yoga (yoga for the bros). Humble Sea, Mount Madonna and Beer Thirty have all jumped on the goat yoga bandwagon with the help of Aptos’s Kinderwood Farm, which breeds Kinder goats perfect for yoga because of their small size—only

about 5-7 pounds as babies. Goat yoga is a form of animal therapy and emotional support (which doesn’t involve unnecessarily taking them into restaurants). Coupled with the relaxation of gentle yoga, an adorable, cuddly baby goat bouncing around the mat is cathartic. Socialization is also an important step in rearing tame and gentle adult goats, so it’s a win-win for people and goats alike. “I wanted goats growing up, but my mom said no,” says Kinderwood Farm Owner Lauren Linkemyer. “My husband agreed, since he loves cheese.”

Linkemyer and her husband, Mack Ellis, bought goats around three years ago to start a small-scale dairy farm. With the help of online resources and mentors, they now have their very own Kinder herd. “We are having trouble producing enough goats for the people that want them,” Linkemyer says. “We sold a couple of babies to Rocking Horse Ranch Daycare in Soquel, but there are still people that want to buy them.” While the couple didn’t start the farm for goat yoga purposes, the idea coincided with the rise of the trend that started in Oregon. “I didn’t have to go north to do goat

yoga. We have baby goats,” Linkemyer says. “We started working with Beer Thirty, and more and more people wanted to have goat yoga events. They are almost all sold out now.” To be clear, this isn’t hot power yoga, and no one is trying to do a handstand with a goat. Goat yoga is gentle yoga, and Linkemyer puts some grain on each mat to entice the kids to jump all over the yogis. Child’s pose, down dog and plank are some of the preferred poses to accommodate people and goats alike. “The classes are like 70% goat and 30% yoga, maybe higher on the goat percentage,” Linkemyer says. Each class includes a bottle-feeding session with the baby goats. Linkemyer has hosted more than 30 classes, both private and public. While they can’t host goat yoga on the farm because of space constraints, Kinderwood has partnered with breweries around town to host events while also getting leftover grain to feed the goats. They bring between seven and 12 goats per class, and classes are usually around 25 people. On Memorial Day, a few attendees were lucky enough to also get piglets at their baby goat yoga. “They aren’t as cuddly as the goats, but they are hilarious little creatures,” Linkemyer says. “They are huge now, though. My favorite one, Popcorn, is like 45 pounds now, so I don’t think they would be great for yoga.” After more than two years in the goat yoga game, Linkemyer says one of the best parts of her job—among many perks—is the gratitude and happiness people get from the goats. “People always talk about how happy it makes them, and how they are in a much better mood and much more joyful,” she says. “I wasn’t really surprised, because I love them. They are just fantastic.” As summer winds down, Kinderwood Farm is taking a break from goat yoga to train their new puppies and build puppy-goat relationships. They expect to resume classes in September. “This is the best job I’ve ever had,” she says. “And I’m so glad other people can appreciate the goats, too.” kinderwoodfarms.com.

NEWS DRIVING PASSION DIY adventureman launches company to retrofit camper vans

JULY 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY SUSAN LANDRY

Jimmy Grey started building houses with his father as soon as his hands could properly hold the tools. He completed his first electrical wiring job at 13. When Grey’s father died four years ago, he decided it was time to do some soul searching. “I was just trying to figure myself out after that, after my rock left my life,” he says. Grey quit his job in sales to travel in Thailand and Bali. After returning to Santa Cruz, he purchased his first van, a 2014 ProMaster, and set off to explore the country with partner Bez Stone and her two children. Now, the 37-year-old craftsman is combining his flair for construction with a passion for adventure in the grand opening of a full-service van-conversion business, Levity Vans. Considering operations have been underway for about a year now, the grand opening on Saturday, July 19, was really more of a coming out party. “It feels like a declaration. It’s us saying, ‘We’re here, we’re ready, and we know what we’re doing,” says Stone, who is a partner in the business. The 17th Avenue shop specializes in upgrading ProMaster, Transit and Sprinter cargo vans into full-fledged adventure vehicles complete with tailored kitchens, rooftops decks, customized windows and whatever else customers need to feel at home on the road. “Lots of companies make cookie-cutter RV-type vans, which are great, but I like Jimmy’s style because he really gets to know who people are and what they want, so they can have things like that special little perch for their cat, which more people have wanted than you might suspect,” Stone says. The social media-fueled #vanlife trend has romanticized the urge to hit the road in recent years, but Levity’s grand opening comes as Outwesty, a company that rents tricked-out, modernized Westfalias to customers for their California vacations, is closing up shop in Santa Cruz. Outwesty is returning to Lake Tahoe after a two-year stint on the Central Coast. Owner Dave Phelps says that Santa >16

MOOR TO LEARN A fishing boat sits moored in Monterey Bay, where fish populations have rebounded, as they have in

other U.S. coastal waters. Lawmakers may revisit a 43-year-old fisheries law to bring it into the 21st century.

Line of Questioning North Bay rep casts out proposal to update fishing rules, but will Congress reel it in? BY TOM GOGOLA AND JACOB PIERCE

alf Moon Bay’s Bob Dooley has been fishing since he was 11, and as a boat owner, he’s traveled many times to the waters off Alaska searching for pollock and other whitefish. Now 65 and retired, Dooley serves on the Pacific Fishery Management Council, weighing in on regulatory policy. He realizes the term “fishery management” inspires suspicion among fishermen, especially those from the generation prior, but Dooley credits federal regulations with keeping the nation’s fisheries

sustainable and letting populations rebound—ultimately giving fishermen like himself a shot at a career. The backbone of this framework is the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, which passed in 1976. Among its provisions was an outline for a system to create fish allotments for individual fisheries. Congress has reauthorized the act a few times over the years, most recently in 2006. In the years since, efforts to revisit the law have stalled out before netting any results. Now, Congressmember Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) is

starting a “listening tour” to get perspectives on how to improve Magnuson–Stevens. Huffman plans to introduce a bill to tackle the reauthorization within the next year. Looking ahead, Dooley says Congress may take this important opportunity to clarify wording that often gets misinterpreted. By and large, though, he’s hoping that legislators hold interest groups at bay. “The problem is when you open the door, a lot of special interests can climb through. It’s a good act, and I don’t think we need to fool with it much,” he says. >14

NEWS LINE OF QUESTIONING <12 As the recently appointed chair of Congress’ Democrat-controlled Water, Oceans and Wildlife Subcommittee, Huffman says his goal is to help manage oceans and fisheries “to be as environmentally and economically resilient as possible.” He’s asking how issues like global climate change should be considered in a revised version of the act. Noah Oppenheim, executive director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, is looking forward to the listening tour. Oppenheim has his doubts about how Congress can make any legislative progress on global warming under a White House that denies the existence of climate change. Nonetheless, he believes the opportunity will prompt fishermen to start thinking more globally and get involved outside of the individual policies undertaken

by local fishery councils. Representative Huffman, for his part, enjoys support from an environmental community that’s aligned with his values. Huffman riding herd over the process, Oppenheim says, “will be an interesting dynamic to watch.” “He needs to understand that fisheries management is about the industry first,” Oppenheim adds, and that the Magnuson-Stevens Act wasn’t intended to shut down the industry, but to figure out how to make it work in a manner that’s sustainable for the fish and fishermen alike. Oppenheim knows full well that fishing has an impact on fish stocks. “But we’ve brought back many stocks from the brink,” he says. He adds that California fishermen have, if grudgingly, “throttled back their activities to protect them.” Overfishing is one issue, but it’s “climate impacts

and industrial activities outside of fishing,” he says, “that are the biggest impact” on fish stocks. Oppenheim says that lawmakers should take a hard look at any offshore industry development as they study reauthorization. He says external threats to fishermen’s livelihoods—offshore oil and gas rigs or wind farms—should be a part of the discussion. Concerned about the impacts of a proposed wind farm south of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Oppenheim notes that current law doesn’t allow for any regulation of industries that might have a deleterious impact on fishermen’s livelihoods. The Bureau of Energy Management oversees the leasing for such projects. With Huffman still testing the waters on this topic, it’s unclear which direction policy discussions might take.

Ever since Museum of Art and History Executive Director Nina Simon announced her departure from the organization this past fall, museum leaders have made it sound like they were mere weeks from announcing their next executive. But after waiting eight months, the MAH has only just now named an interim director in Antonia Franco, an experienced nonprofit executive who’s been involved with the museum over the years. From Franco’s résumé, she looks enormously qualified. But it isn’t clear whether she could be the long-term pick—or what the hold-up is at an institution known for its vibrancy under Simon’s direction. Honestly, if the MAH doesn’t pick an official director soon, the museum’s gonna find itself the butt of many a joke around town ... à la, “Your MAH’s so

slow, it took her two hours to watch 60 Minutes.”

FLOWING DOWNHILL Bill Smallman has resigned from the San Lorenzo Valley Water Board after a year in which he leaked sensitive information and made homophobic remarks. He’s the second boardmember to resign over the last four months, and his departure leaves the district just one former boardmember of the now-defunct Lompico Water Board, which merged with San Lorenzo Valley three years ago. With its various scandals in recent years, the rural water district may look more polluted than a mountain reservoir under a mudslide. But things could always be worse, and progress is easy to miss. After all, back when the Lompico Water District was a thing, Smallman was one of the board’s saner members.

EXHAUST OF LIVING When you look at local housing costs and wages, it should come as no surprise that Santa Cruz County has the second-highest poverty rate in California for the second year in a row. It also has

the state’s second-highest child poverty rate. Shocking or not, it’s very sad. It also makes you think back on the comments we’ve heard from middle-aged homeowners in public meetings, and in letters to the editor over the years that say, “People shouldn’t live here if they don’t want it bad enough”—all while many families live on the verge of homelessness. To be frank, anti-housing Democrats sound a lot like anti-immigrant Republicans, telling everyone, “If you don’t like it, you can leave!” We typically think of these local “progressive” whiners as not-in-my-backyard—or NIMBY—activists, but one might just as easily call them simply BANANAs, which stands for “build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything.” But in light of Santa Cruz’s homegrown poverty problem, perhaps the term we’re really looking for is “jerks.”

SLEEP LEARNING CURVE Jimmy Grey (left) combined his craftsman expertise with a passion for adventure to launch Levity with partner Bez Stone.

JULY 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

DRIVING PASSION <12

Cruz “is one of the most expensive places in the world to live, and you’ve gotta pay your employees a lot to make it work. I don’t think anyone could say it’s an easy place to do business.” Because Outwesty also assists customers with the booking and planning of their trips, the travel agent side of the business was always a challenge in Santa Cruz’s oversaturated tourist scene. “It’s a little bit overpopulated in these regions,” says Phelps. “If you don’t book a campsite far enough in advance, it’s very hard to do a last-minute camping trip to Big Sur in June, July, August. That’s one major issue we ran into.” For Grey, whose full-scale adventure conversions can run between $30,00055,000, the high cost of living comes with benefits from a business perspective: the wealth in the area makes it easier for

customers to meet his price point. For those not looking to shell out so much cash, however, Grey offers priced-per-job window installations, electrical wiring and other specified services. “The DIYer aspect is a customer base that we’re really passionate about,” says Stone. “If somebody was on a budget, I wouldn’t want to dissuade them. Instead, let’s get creative. Come here, and we’ll do the few things that you can’t do alone, or that aren’t safe for you to do alone.” Customers at Levity range from corporate executives looking to downsize to retirees on the hunt for adventure. “There’s such a broad spectrum. It’s not just hippies who want to drop out of society,” says Stone. “It’s people who want the freedom to go away from their life and take a break, whether it’s for a year or a month or a day.” While van life represents an exciting break from normalcy for some, Grey knows that life on wheels can be a grimmer

experience for many in Santa Cruz. An estimated 30% of Santa Cruz’s homeless residents were living in their cars in 2017, according to the county’s most recent Homeless Census and Survey. The right to park has long been a contentious topic in the county. The cities of Santa Cruz, Capitola and Watsonville all have laws that ban camping in public places, although recent court rulings have taken some of the teeth out of those sleeping bans. Efforts this year from Santa Cruz city councilmembers like Drew Glover to expand car camping and create new areas to park legally faced resistance and criticism that Glover hadn’t done enough public outreach. The right-to-park movement has gained attention at UCSC and around the state as students fight for their right to sleep in vehicles on campus. At California community colleges, 19% of students experienced homelessness in the past year, according to a recent study

conducted by the Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice. Grey believes van dwellers should have a safe space to go. He says everyone should have the right to park and sleep in their vehicles, regardless of their circumstances. “I personally think this is a really great opportunity for us to set up some communities and safe places for people to park their vans,” he says, “whether they’re transients or permanent locals.” For Grey, who has never run a business before, Levity’s opening represents a leap of faith. “There was that one cliff-jumping moment when Jimmy quit his job … then, there was that moment of, ‘OK, let’s do it,’” says Stone. “We ordered some signs, made the website and just said we’re going to go for it. I think it takes a lot of bravery for somebody like Jimmy to quit his day job and just go for it.”

NEWS LINE OF QUESTIONING <14 Aguirre, CEO of sustainable seafood advocacy group FishWise, believes Congress should strengthen the act’s environmental protections to let fisheries keep rebounding. “We need to keep our foot on the gas,” says Aguire. With its focus geared toward international issues, FishWise has been collaborating on the international Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability, which aims to improve transparency in global seafood markets. FishWise’s next mission, he says, will be improving the working conditions of fishermen. The livelihood of fishermen is certainly a chief concern for Oppenheim. A fisherman himself, he’s the first to admit that they have occasionally been part of an “anti-science” agenda when it has helped business interests, but he says the industry provides valuable data to scientists and regulators. “Fishermen can both be far better observers of ocean conditions and the real-time status of fisheries,” he says, “and simultaneously be in denial over the impacts that broadscale fishing can have over time.” But it’s also true that the scientists can make mistakes, and they’ve missed the mark when it comes to fish stocks, he says, with poor survey data. The bottom line for Oppenheim when it comes to fisheries management is that, “We’re doing better than we ever have in the past”—though he admits there’s much to be done. He believes the “ship can be righted to some extent by bringing in the fishermen.” “One of the more interesting things to note about fish politics is to notice how ‘flipped’ it is,” he says. “The quote-unquote ‘liberal’ politics of egalitarianism and support for communities” has not been the traditional Democratic Party approach, he argues. At the same time, conservative lawmakers pegged as being too pro-business at the expense of the environment, he says, have led the charge to focus on localities and small-time operators. “Fundamentally, liberals should be about supporting communities,” he says. “Partisanship in fisheries is terrible, counterproductive, and we’ve been seeing too much of it lately.”

NEVER FORGET Flowers at the site where Heather Heyer

was killed by a white supremicist on Aug. 12, 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia.

DEEP IMPRINT Terry McAuliffe on his new book ‘Beyond Charlottesville,’ and a new agenda for battling racism BY STEVE KETTMANN

sound like a naif: Watching the horrors unfold from here in Santa Cruz, I actually thought Trump might condemn the white supremacists who had come from 35 states—some of them from Northern California—to gather in Charlottesville and revel in hate and violence. I know I wasn’t alone in thinking that the reality-TV president might actually decide to act presidential. It’s more than an idle point, as former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s new book, Beyond Charlottesville: Taking a Stand Against White Nationalism, makes clear. McAuliffe, who was governor at the time, talked with Trump on Aug. 12, and hung up the phone convinced Trump was going to do the right thing. “I had no illusions that a guy whose favorite thing to do was watch himself on TV was suddenly going to turn into Bobby Kennedy,” McAuliffe writes on the second page of the book. “Eloquence was no more his thing than consistency. But in the middle of a crisis like this, I honestly did expect him to rise to the occasion. That’s what presidents do.” Instead, infamously, Trump showed up before the cameras that afternoon at his golf course in New Jersey, condemning “in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence”—and then, in a Dadaist twist, adding, “on many sides, on many sides.” Donald Trump had just hit the gas and barreled past the last exit ramp left in his presidency; instead of veering toward decency

and democracy, he went with his base impulses, choosing blatant racism. “I was shocked,” McAuliffe writes. “I felt our nation had just been suckerpunched.” It fell to McAuliffe, as the sitting governor, to say the words many thought the president of the United States should have spoken. “I have a message to all the white supremacists and the Nazis who came into Charlottesville today,” McAuliffe said on national TV that afternoon. “Our message is plain and simple: go home and never come back. You are not wanted in this great commonwealth. Shame on you. You pretend that you are patriots, but you are anything but a patriot. You are a bunch of cowards.” McAuliffe’s words were widely cited. He had shown leadership when the man in the White House showed none. Congressman John Lewis, one of the giants of the Civil Rights movement, heard those words and called the Virginia governor the following Monday to thank him. “I cried when I heard your speech,” Lewis told McAuliffe. “That was one of the great speeches I’ve ever heard in my life.” I was struck immediately with the importance of what happened in Charlottesville. Later, I reached out and urged McAuliffe to do a book about it. I was the co-author of McAuliffe’s first book, What a Party!: My Life Among Democrats: Presidents, Candidates, Donors, Activists, Alligators, and Other Wild Animals, which hit the

f there is one day from the Trump presidency that will be remembered as a key turning point, my pick is Aug. 12, 2017. The footage coming out of Charlottesville, Virginia, that weekend was horrifying: first, on Friday night, a torchlight rally of pallid-faced white nationalist marchers on the University of Virginia grounds, chanting “You will not replace us” and “Blood and soil!” Then on Saturday morning, Aug. 12, melee in the streets of Charlottesville, a surreal mix of self-caricaturing militia and KKK types parading in broad daylight—white supremacist groups cranked up on years of midnight chatroom binges, now out in numbers looking to hurt people. The nation saw, and shuddered. This was not coded racism, like the Willie Horton ads the George H.W. Bush campaign for President ran in the 1988 campaign. This was Nuremberg in 1934, a rally of the right conceived as an exercise in self-justifying propaganda. Hate-filled cultists on a mission, preening and strutting and showing us all they think they’re superior and that many of their fellow citizens are subhuman. The mob in Charlottesville made clear they felt encouraged and even egged on by the demagogue in the White House, with David Duke, a national KKK leader, confirming that very point in Charlottesville that day. The question was, how would President Trump respond? I’ll make an admission that might make me

most hate-filled, vile, disgusting language at fellow Americans.” I asked him what he learned from working on the book. “Upon reflection, as I wrote the book, as bad as Charlottesville was, there was an upside to it, which was that we exposed this sickening underbelly in American culture and realized that we have to do much more to deal with racism and its effects,” he said. Charlottesville was not a wakeup call for African-Americans, McAuliffe added, as they did not need a wakeup call—they knew all about these racist white supremacist organizations. But for a lot of the rest of us, the horror of Charlottesville endures in a way that needs to be explored. What more can we do? How do we truly keep alive the memory of Charlottesville? Susan Bro lost a daughter in Charlottesville, 32-year-old Heather Heyer, who was peacefully protesting when James Fields drove his car into a crowd, killing her and injuring many others. (Two Virginia State Police pilots, Berke Bates and Jay Cullen, were also killed that weekend when their helicopter went down.) “Heather helped to open my eyes to a lot of things I’d been putting my head in the sand about,” Susan Bro said recently. “If, after Charlottesville, we just talk about ‘Love one another’ and have a kumbaya moment here, then we accomplish nothing. We’re back to square one. If we don’t do it now, then we definitely wasted an opportunity— and wasted a life, frankly.” Beyond Charlottesville details how the governor and his advisors considered declaring a state of emergency late on the morning of Aug. 12, finally doing so in time to clear the park where the “Unite the Right Rally” was centered just before noon, the scheduled start time for the gathering of white supremacists. “Once we’d cleared the park and everybody had been dispersed, outside of several violent fist fights, there had been no damage to property,” McAuliffe told me. “My biggest relief was that, even with so

many people with firearms, nobody got shot. It wasn’t until later that I was informed that this maniac James Fields had weaponized his car and run into a crowd in downtown Charlottesville. Soon after that, I was told that one of our State Police helicopters had gone down and we’d lost two pilots, Berke Bates and Jay Cullen, who were friends of mine and my family. So in a matter of just a few hours, what had seemed like a successful operation had turned into a nightmare.” It’s always hard to say, but there are indications that a new urgency on fighting against racism might shape up as a major component of Democrats’ path to victory next year against Trump, assuming he’s actually running for re-election. Political reporters who work in Washington would have us believe there is a difficult choice for Democrats to make between emphasizing a positive alternative vision to Trumpism, on the one hand, and fighting back against his demagoguery on the other. But both can happen, even with intermediaries in the press seeking to sabotage the effort. It’s not dangerous for Democrats to have differences of opinion on how to call Trump out for the racist he is. It’s healthy and productive; let different voices come at Trump from different directions, and we’ll see how it all adds up. The main point is: No Democratic candidate who is flying on auto-pilot when it comes to issues of racism will survive the primaries. The historical moment—and a lot of angry voters, including many young people— demand much, much more. Joe Biden seems to be slowly tuning into that reality, with his new one-liner about Trump being “more George Wallace than George Washington.” It’s worth noting that Biden dropped the line last week in California, and we’re sure to hear more about Trump and Wallace, the notorious white supremacist governor of Alabama in the 1960s and 1970s. McAuliffe’s new book has a real shot at becoming part of that larger discussion. Newsweek is planning a

the future. I want discussions of dealing with these problems. It’s not about statues and hateful symbols, it’s about actionable items that deal with the horrible effects of racism. “My goal is that the book will help open peoples’ eyes. For far too long, we’ve tried to sweep racism under the rug. It’s important that this be brought ought into the light of day for a full discussion. Until we all realize that, we’re going to be in the same place.” He’ll be meeting with some local community leaders and office holders here in the Santa Cruz area when he arrives for an Aug. 7 book discussion and signing at Bookshop Santa Cruz. It’s a great chance to ask Gov. McAuliffe your own questions about Charlottesville, and to share your own perspective. He may or may not give you an answer you like, but he’ll be listening.

cover package next week, including excerpting an entire chapter. Biden has said he was inspired to run for president this time around because of what happened in Charlottesville— and he’s liable to get a book. Just last week, the White House issued a statement condemning Beyond Charlottesville. “Terry McAuliffe’s slander against the president is nothing short of disgusting,” Judd P. Deere, a White House spokesman perhaps unaware that slander refers to spoken speech, not the printed word, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Trump himself is sure to get involved, firing back at McAuliffe one way or another, but for people who actually read the book—as opposed to just looking at the pictures and searching the index for their own name—the tense runthrough of events will be disturbing and thought-provoking. That’s McAuliffe’s hope, to generate a deeper and wider discussion of the need for major change than we’ve ever had. “For me, if we’re going to have discussions on racism, we have to talk about looking forward and how we deal with racism today,” he told me. “I don’t want to go back 30 or 40 years.

POLITICS AFTER CHARLOTTESVILLE Terry McAuliffe on calling a racist a racist BY STEVE KETTMANN The timing on publication of this book seems uncanny. Your subtitle is ‘Taking a Stand Against White Nationalism,’ and your main subject is racism. This month, racism has dominated the headlines, with Congress passing a resolution condemning Trump for his racist attack on four Congresswoman, the first time the House of Representatives has rebuked a President in more than 100 years. TERRY MCAULIFFE: Racism has never gone away. For a very long time, many people felt we had dealt with racism, and it wasn’t an issue. It wasn’t a problem that existed in America today. What happened in Charlottesville ripped the scab off, and people realized that racism is still prevalent, and not nearly enough has been done to deal with the issues behind racism, inequality in schools and housing and access to health care and a racist criminal justice system, and on and on. We don’t need more words. We need more action.

As a former Democratic National Committee chairman, you’ve been around a lot of Democratic debates. What was your take on the first two Democratic debates, held in late June? I was disappointed in the first two debates. The candidates didn’t talk enough about the issues that affect everyday Americans. I heard no discussion of issues of K-12 funding for education, and no discussion of how to address failing infrastructure, which is crippling cities around the country, and no discussion of workforce development and workforce training and no real discussion on lowering the costs of prescription drugs. Our education system was built for the industrial revolution, and hasn’t transformed for a 21st-century economy. And I heard no discussion of the ballooning budget deficit that’s going to cripple our children’s future.

What about the way racism was addressed? Were you at all surprised at the way California Senator Kamala Harris came at Joe Biden?

Listen, when you’re the front runner, you know everybody is going to come after you. Vice President Biden should have been prepared for that. I thought Bernie Sanders was going to use the debate to go after Biden. But Harris obviously prepared very well and executed in knocking Joe Biden off his game. The goal of the debates is to have a break-out moment, and she clearly had a break-out moment.

Biden set himself up by making that comment early in June about the “civility” of the good old days when he worked with openly Segregationist Senators like James Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia. Was that tone-deaf of Biden? There was no reason for him to bring Herman Talmadge and James Eastland into the discussion. They were racists. I understand what Biden was trying to do, he was saying that even with these vile individuals in the Senate, he was able to work with them on legislation to move the country forward, but he could have made that point a different way. Jim Eastland actually said that African Americans were “an inferior race.” He should never, ever be cited in any example except one talking about racists.

CABRILLO CROCKER THEATER TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE AT

CABRILLOSTAGE.COM | 831-479-6154 INTO THE WOODS is presented through special arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI).

On July 27, filmmaker Sasha Friedlander will present a screening of her new documentary Grit, which tells the story of political protest in the aftermath of a harrowing natural disaster in Indonesia (think a volcanic eruption of mud that buried 16 villages), brought on by careless industrial drilling. On Aug. 9, three activist artists— David Solnit, Martabel Wasserman and T.J. Demos—will gather for a community conversation about strategies for potent political protest. And on Aug. 10, Solnit, a veteran of direct-action demonstrations for more than 20 years, will lead a daylong workshop on the mechanics of art-oriented protest in the realms of climate change and social justice. The workshop is designed for the artistically inclined (or otherwise) to make flags, banners, murals, and other work with stenciling, screenprinting or other methods. “We’re just trying to bring more people together through these art experiences,” says Sara Friedlander, co-founder of ARRT, “and to engage people rather than having them not knowing what they can do.” Sara is the mom of Sasha Friedlander, whose previous film Where Heaven Meets Hell was also the story of an environmental disaster in Indonesia brought on by extractive industrial interests. The power of Grit, says Sara Friedlander, is in its ability to inspire. “It’s really about a woman who is indigenous with no education, and how she becomes one of the leaders of this movement. And her daughter, who is 12 [when the disaster happens], also evolves into a leader. So we’re witnessing the making of a citizen activist.” The Aug. 9 event is the second attempt to spark collaborative energy after a similar event in 2018. “It pulled people together like no other conversation we’ve ever had in Santa Cruz,” says Friedlander of last year’s artist/activist panel discussion. “We had about 75 people in that room, and everybody connected with someone they didn’t know to do some project.” The Aug. 10 workshop throws the spotlight on the activist work

of Solnit, the Oakland-based artist whose career in protest includes the iconic 1999 protests against the World Trade Organization (WTO), and successful demonstrations for workers rights in the Florida agricultural industry. “The last couple of decades, I’ve become more and more interested in how artists, performers, and musicians use art to create social change,” says Solnit, whose work is mostly in the visual arts, particularly large puppets. “I usually sit with a community and think of what story they want to tell. The value I give is, ‘OK, here’s how we can take that story, make it 10-feet tall and made of cardboard, with materials you can find in anyone’s house.’” Last year, Solnit was part of a large protest greeting the Global Climate Summit in San Francisco, in which he urged activists to paint images of the future on the streets with washable paint. “We figured we ended up with about 2,0003,000 people painting in 50 groups, each group doing a 30-foot mural,” he says. “And that made it a very different kind of event. Each group got to serve their own message, instead of having to listen to one person with a microphone.” The WTO protests in ’99, says Solnit, offer a vivid example of how creative political protest can create compelling images in the public mind that linger for years. “We had people stilt-walking as butterflies and holding giant hand-made signs and puppets in the face of police dressed like Darth Vader shooting projectiles at us,” he says. “We created a visually dramatic contrast, and it was very effective.” ‘ARRT and Human/Nature’ runs July 26-Sept. 14; opening reception Friday, July 26, from 7-9 p.m. ‘Grit: Q&A’ with filmmaker Sasha Friedlander on Saturday, July 27, 7:30 p.m.; Secondannual community conversation with David Solnit, TJ Demos and Martabel Wasserman on Aug. 9, 7 p.m.; ‘Artmaking for Change,’ a workshop with David Solnit, Aug. 10, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. All events at the Resource Center for Nonviolence, 612 Ocean St., Santa Cruz. arrtsantacruz.home.blog.

THEATER A rom-com with a subtext of edgy uncertainty—is it possible to marry these two theatrical tropes, the satisfying ending and the nagging doubt? As a title, ‘The Formula’ refers to this chemical cocktail that can create feelings of love, but it’s also a nod to the genre of romantic comedy and our expectations for what’s supposed to happen and who will end up with whom. I like a play that makes you think and feel as well as laugh, and I think for both Ellen [Maguire, the director] and me, the goal here is to find that balance—a play that’s a comic ride all the way along, but that also stays with you after it’s over.

On a scale of 1 to 10, just how excruciating is it as a playwright to sit through a staging of your own characters doing what you’ve written for them to do?

‘Night’s’ Watch

Just about every character in this play gets hurt or behaves badly at one point or another In life. I tend to avoid conflict and chaos, and my characters often start out polite and careful—and then I have to keep pushing to get underneath that surface and let them take the risk, say the awful thing, make the terrible mistake. Stories aren’t about well-adjusted characters going through pleasantly uneventful days, after all. That’s not why we go to the theater.

A Q&A with playwright Kathryn Chetkovich BY CHRISTINA WATERS

What we’ll see next week is a staged reading. What can audiences expect to see and experience?

n July 30, Santa Cruz Shakespeare will present a staged reading of The Formula, a modern reimagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by playwright Kathryn Chetkovich, for one night at the Grove. Chetkovich spoke to GT about her take on the Bard’s classic.

to fall back in love with the ‘right’ person for him. We live in an era in which nearly half of marriages end in divorce, and yet the myth of ‘the one’ strongly persists. With The Formula, I wanted to write a play that has sympathy for that wish, and that also questions it, gives us a glimpse of the damage it can do.

How did the idea come to you?

Do you think you might be robbing Shakespeare’s original of some of its enchantment by having the plot’s outrageous mix-up caused by chemistry, rather than magic?

A staged reading has minimal rehearsal, no props, no costumes, and very little, if any, stage direction. The actors are holding their scripts. So it’s a very strippeddown form of dramatic storytelling. But there’s also something exciting about it—the actors are creating a world out of almost nothing, and the audience becomes part of the process by helping to fill in that world with their imaginations.

KATHRYN CHETKOVICH: The play got kicked off for me in part by thinking about A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and how, at the heart of the comic events of that play, there’s a character who needs a magic potion

Just to be clear: I am not going headto-head with Shakespeare! I liked

playing with the idea of taking the world we already live in, one in which we already have drugs to adjust moods and mental states, and pushing it just a little further: If you could take a drug to fall or stay in love, would you?

How can actors affect the success of this play? The words are important, obviously, but a play is a performance; everything ultimately depends on the actors. That’s especially true for comedy, I think. When the scene turns a corner and is suddenly more serious or painful, it’s the actors who can make that turn and bring us along.

‘The Formula,’ by Kathryn Chetkovich, a staged reading, 90 minutes, no intermission. Tuesday, July 30, 7:30 p.m. at The Grove in Delaveaga Park. Free. santacruzshakespeare.org.

SPIKING INTEREST After their relationship frayed a decade ago, the passion of their fans has brought Andrea Echeveri and

Hector Buitrago of Aterciopelados back together, with their North American tour coming to Moe’s on Friday.

Pipe Dream JULY 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The return of Colombian rockers Aterciopelados BY ANDREW GILBERT

ans of the seminal Colombian alt-rock band Aterciopelados can rest easy—after years of contention, the frayed creative partnership behind one of Latin America’s most iconic combos has mended. Vocalist/guitarist Andrea Echeveri and bassist Hector Buitrago aren’t just touring together again. They’re creating music in an entirely new way that blends their distinctive sounds and concerns, and they’re performing these captivating songs alongside fan favorites on a North American tour that brings the band to Moe’s Alley on Friday, July 26. New album Claroscura holds up on its own, even if listeners aren’t familiar with the band’s almost three-decade career of enthralling music.

“In the 1990s, I did most of the composing,” Buitrago says in a recent phone conversation from Barranquilla. “Now we’re composing together, which we hadn’t really done before.” In the early ’90s, Aterciopelados put Bogota’s thriving music scene on the map with a series of brilliant albums, starting with 1993’s Con el Corazón en la Mano. Exploring the stark reality of life in a country beset by drug cartels and a decadeslong civil war, the album introduced a mesmerizing mélange of punk and cumbia, pop psychedelia and surf rock. The band’s sound evolved with each release as they delved deeper into Colombian folklore while absorbing new sounds on international travels. In those early years, they were

a romantic couple, “and in the beginning we did songs about falling in and out of love,” Buitrago says. “Then we started writing about different, broader themes. Andrea specialized in women and human rights, and I specialized in the environment and ancestors.” The band’s artistic breakthrough was 1997’s ska-inspired La Pipa de la Paz (The Peace Pipe), the first album by a Colombian band ever nominated for a Grammy Award. They followed it with 1998’s electronicainfused Caribe Atomico, an album that combined environmental consciousness with electronic textures reminiscent of Radiohead, Morcheeba and Massive Attack. After a hallucinogenic encounter with a shaman, Echeverri and Buitrago recorded the sublime Gozo

Poderoso, which won a 2001 Latin Grammy for best rock album by a duo or group with vocal. But after the release of 2008’s Rio, the number of Aterciopelados concerts dwindled, and the strained relationship between Echeverri and Buitrago led to a prolonged estrangement. “We had three years that we didn’t see each other,” Echeverri said. “Each of us was working on solo projects. We were a couple at first, then we worked together for like 20 years. And then there was tension in the air.” Rumors of the band’s demise proved to be premature, however, as Bogota’s Rock al Parque made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. Looking for a booking coup for the free festival’s 20th year in 2014, the promoters “started calling us all the time,” Echeverri says. “Usually they give foreigners the good money, and bands from Colombia not so much. But they offered us the good money and insisted.” What ultimately resurrected Aterciopelados was the ecstatic reaction from fans. Playing eradefining hits from their small-butmighty discography, Echeverri and Buitrago were overwhelmed by the outpouring. “The whole park was packed, and you could see the different ages,” she says. “Young people came to us saying, ‘We’ve grown up listening to your music.’ Everyone was so happy, dancing and crying. We’ve been playing for almost three decades, and you felt all those years were worthwhile.” They were inspired to write new music that reflected the group in the present, even after releasing highly regarded solo albums. Aterciopelados doesn’t sound transformed so much as reenergized. On Claroscura, their seemingly bottomless bag of melodic hooks yields new irresistible anthems infused by reggae and reggaetón grooves. Together, Echeverri and Buitrago are writing their next chapter. Aterciopelados perform at 9 p.m. on Friday, July 26, at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $35 adv/$40 door. 479-1854.

SUNDAY 7/28-SATURDAY 8/3 SHARK SCIENCE WEEK Back in the age of when people actually watched cable TV, the Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” was a national summer event. In the age of the internet, we can now watch shark attack videos whenever we want; unfortunately, they don’t always give much educational context (gasp). Luckily, the Seymour Center is coming to the rescue. For a full week, they are hosting a Shark Science Week full of facts about the cartilaginous fish with big teethies. They will be exploring shark adaptations like sharks’ extraordinary senses and the unique ways in which they reproduce (hint: there are sometimes teeth involved). The shark touching pool will also be open every day. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Seymour Marine Discovery Center, 100 McAllister Way, Santa Cruz. $9 general admission.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND WATCH ME BREATHE

Jake Ward asks deep questions, like, “Can we throw it all away/Can we leave this shallow place/Can we leave it all behind/And be finally alive?” Those are from “Nothing Else,” the first song off his band Watch Me Breathe’s upcoming sophomore album The Strange Pull of What You Really Love. And Ward doesn’t have an answer for them. “In a way this album is much less personal than [2018’s The Lighter Side of Darkness],” he explains. “And much more observational about society and things that don’t make sense to me.”

JULY 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The lyrics are poetic and thoughtprovoking, all under the guise of radioready, alt-rock melodies—or what he calls “progressive pop-rock.”

“A lot of people use genre as an opportunity to identify with other bands,” he says. “I’m more interested in inventing a new genre that makes people go, ‘What is that? I want more.’” Originally begun in 2017 as a solo project, Ward is now joined by Ryan Green on bass and his brother Carl Ward on drums for live gigs. Ward has worked with a number of local musicians, including Tess Dunn and Alex Abreu, as a producer and engineer, through his recording studio and company Jake’s Lab. “I spend a lot of my time producing, which I love, and it pays much better than being a musician,” he says. MAT WEIR 9pm. Wednesday, July 25. The Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 429-6994.

THE ATOM AGE Saxophones are sexy! There are a lot of bands right now playing proto-punk and garage-rock—they have the swagger, they have the attitude, but do they have the saxophone? Rest assured, San Jose garage-rockers Atom Age do. The band even has an organ, the kind that will make you want to go-go dance with a vengeance. And it’s all punked-up to John Spencer Blues Explosion levels. It’ll take you right back to the golden age of rock ’n’ roll, when concerned parents were calling this the devil’s music.

SUN HOP FAT While they hail from the East Bay, Sun Hop Fat’s musical inspiration comes from East Africa—specifically

Ethiopia, which in the ’50s and ’60s gave birth to Ethio-jazz, a genre which took traditional Ethiopian scales and played them through western instruments. Originally, the genre came about through an order from Emperor Haile Selassie. Today, Sun Hop Fat carries a torch for the genre with a funky, danceable version of Ethio-jazz. MIKE HUGUENOR

B Boys hails from New York, and its sound is the city personified, from New-Wave rhythmic showdowns to No-Wave melodic repetitions dripping with disdain and scorn. Frenetic energy, coupled with a solitary sense of detachment, lends both apathy and sharp urgency to lyrics underlining the frailty and absurdity of the world we find ourselves in. Yet pockets of fun are found within any apocalypse, and the same is true with B Boys’ anti-anthem shouts and machine-gun drum rolls. AB

fresh as it is rootsy. Originally a New Yorker, this now-North Carolinian writes songs reminiscent of the best parts of Hank Williams or Merle Haggard, with a voice for fans of Bonnie Raitt, the bravado of Joan Jett and the humor of Dolly Parton. Sophomore album Years paints the picture of a band that has grown—dare we say even matured—since their 2017 debut. MW

Reggae is spiritual music, and New York artist Matisyahu explores his Judaism with the same intense emotional fervor as Jamaican Rastafarians. Since his first record in 2004, he’s produced incredible, Grammy-winning songs that use reggae as their base, but incorporate alt-rock and hip-hop as well. His most recent album Undercurrent is a much more personal, vulnerable record, a concept album that tells Matisyahu’s own personal story. It’s also a much more stripped-down offering than anything he’s released since he started playing music.

FILM

FIGHT CUB Jesse Eisenberg develops a karate obsession in Riley Stearns’ ‘The Art of Self-Defense.’

JULY 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Fist is Your Life

Novice karate student seeks manhood in dark satire ‘The Art Of Self-Defense’ BY LISA JENSEN

uién es más macho? Certainly not Casey, the hapless, sad-sack protagonist of The Art Of Self-Defense. Casey’s self-imposed quest to overcome his fear of, well, everything is at the heart of this dark, subversive black comedy that skewers the popular notion of “manhood.” Written and directed by Riley Stearns, the movie begins with a simple enough premise, like one of those Charles Atlas body-building ads that used to be found in comic

books in the ’50s and ’60s: nerdy little guy suffers humiliation and decides to shape a new life for himself as a tough guy. Casey, played by Jesse Eisenberg in a state of all-consuming anxiety, wants to be a “real man” in the worst way, and that’s exactly how he begins to achieve his goal as his journey becomes ever more brutal and surreal. The movie is like a fever dream of Fight Club, as reimagined by Woody Allen. Eisenberg’s Casey is an accounting drone so faceless

his fellow employees don’t even know who he is; he can’t hang with the trash-talking guys in the break room at work. Even his phone answering machine disses him: “You have only one message. Nobody else left you a message.” One night, walking home with a bag of doggy chow for his only companion—his Dachshund—he’s beset by a gang of helmeted bikers who beat the tar out of him for no reason. Determined to stop being a victim who’s afraid of everything, Casey enrolls at a karate school run

by a fierce alpha male who goes only by “Sensei” (Alessandro Nivola). “I want to be what intimidates me,” Casey tells his new mentor. He’s come to the right place. Sensei rules his dojo with an iron fist (and foot), and tolerates no perceived weakness, not even from a novice like Casey. After a few painful humiliations, Casey learns enough moves to graduate to the next level, yellow belt. But—surprise!—his newfound abilities do not automatically guarantee the respect he craves. For that, he has to engage in ever-more-draconian behavior, which eventually begins to nag at his own inner moral code. When Casey is invited to start attending Sensei’s exclusive and mysterious night classes, the question becomes how much of himself he is willing to give up to become a monster of his own creation. Some satirical bits are predictable (although still amusing), as when Sensei schools Casey in more “masculine” lifestyle choices. But it’s silly when Casey gets real leather belts made for his classmates in their appropriate karate-level colors, and Sensei is absurdly touched by the black one he receives. You can get a black leather belt at any Kmart. A subplot about Anna (Imogen Poots), the only female at the dojo, never quite gels; she’s just there to provoke some trendy feminist ire over her ill-treatment. But the movie scores points in many more subtle moments. A gunshop dealer explains to Casey the principle of handgun registration, saying, “You can’t just walk in off the street to buy a gun to shoot somebody. You have to wait two weeks to do that.” Even the guys in the break room roll over in obedience when Casey puts on the appearance of a bully; that’s what they respect. And in a twisted narrative full of surprises—never assume you know where this movie is going—the finale packs the most explosive punch. THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE (***) With Jesse Eisenberg, Alessandro Nivola and Imogen Poots. Written and directed by Riley Stearns. A Bleecker Street release. Rated R. 104 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES

JULY 24-30, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE FAREWELL We all know what this year’s biggest blockbuster was. What? Avengers: Endgame? Never heard of it. No, obviously I’m talking about The Farewell, which made more money at the domestic box office this year than any other film, including that one with the costume people you mentioned. Now, of course, this is only if you’re talking about per-theater average—The Farewell opened in four theaters with a record $87,833 haul per screen (Avengers’ was $76,601 across 4,662 theaters). But still, it’s kind of crazy that an art-house comedy-drama whose biggest star is Awkwafina from Crazy Rich Asians is breaking any kind of box-office record. Writer-director Lulu Wang’s story of a Chinese-American woman who travels back to China to visit her grandmother with a terminal diagnosis (which the family has decided to hide) is also a hit with critics, earning a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. (PG) 98 minutes. (SP)

LOST AND FOUND I swear, if people don’t shut up about pretentious interconnected-story flicks like Love, Actually (terrible, actually), Crash (not the best picture of 2004, or any other year), Magnolia (seemed good at the time, I guess), and Short Cuts (OK, that one was pretty awesome), I’m gonna lose it. The track record of these movies is enough to make me gunshy about the whole gimmick. Can this new Irish film about seven interconnected stories centered around the lost and found office of a train station change my mind? Eh, probably not. Written, directed by and starring Liam O’Mochain. 96 minutes. (SP) MAIDEN This documentary about Tracy Edwards, a charter-boat cook who became the captain of the first all-female crew to take on the Whitbread Round the World Race, takes place in a dark time, long ago, when the world was horribly sexist. Okay, it was 1989, and yeah, sexism hasn’t really gotten much better. All the more reason to enjoy these lady sailors seriously kicking everyone’s ass. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP)

ONCE UPON A TIME … IN HOLLYWOOD There was a lot of outrage when Quention Tarantino announced his next movie would include the story of the Manson murders. Apparently, people thought it might glorify Manson, a concern that the casting of beady-eyed Damon “Let Me Be Your Creepy Guy” Herriman in the role should have allayed. Also, this is the filmmaker who killed off Hitler and gave Southern slave owners their comeuppance— fulfilling revenge fantasies is kinda his thing. It’ll be interesting to see how he works this true-crime angle into a fictional story of over-the-hill TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) in the fading days of 1960s Hollywood. Co-starring Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell and Al Pacino. (R) 161 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a differentcurrent release. For location and discussion topic, go togroups. google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE Reviewed this issue. BETHANY HAMILTON: UNSTOPPABLE You know, the word “unstoppable” gets thrown around a lot lately. But if you get your arm bitten off by a tiger shark at age 13, and go on to become a pro surfing champion, then yes, you are officially unstoppable, and I will go see the documentary about you called Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable. Directed by Aaron Lieber. (PG) 98 minutes. (SP) THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM When TV director John Chester and his wife got kicked out of their L.A. apartment in 2010, they decided to start a farm on some of the most unfarmworthy land around outside of L.A. Chester documented the entire experience over the next several years, and the resulting film is winning praise not only for its first-person storytelling, but also for the incredible

cinematography of the landscape and life that makes up the ecosystem of their farm. (PG) 91 minutes. (SP) CRAWL Kind of weird to see horror’s early-2000s wunderkind Alexandre Aja, who made the incredible High Tension and the less-incredible-butstill-a-big-deal-at-the-time remake of The Hills Have Eyes, slumming it with a B-level killer-croc variation on Jaws. But considering that I will watch any and all variations on Jaws no matter how terrible (Orca, anyone? How about those god awful Italian ripoffs like Great White and Deep Blood?), the B-level killer-croc variety actually seems sort of classy! Starring Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper. (R) 87 minutes. (SP) ECHO IN THE CANYON With Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood coming out this month, it’s prime time for nostalgia around L.A. in the ’60s. This documentary about the Laurel Canyon scene in the mid-’60s traces how groups like the Beach Boys, the Mamas and the Papas, the Byrds, and Buffalo Springfield defined the California sound. It features interviews with and performances from classic artists like Brian Wilson, Michelle Phillips, Eric Clapton, and Ringo Starr, as well as later artists who were influenced by the scene like Beck, Cat Power, Regina Spektor, and Norah Jones. Directed by Andrew Slater. (PG-13) 82 minutes. (SP) THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO This first feature from director Joe Talbot is based on a story he concocted with his longtime friend and fellow San Francisco native, Jimmie Fails. It’s a remarkably assured and absorbing meditation on the mythology of the city’s fabled past while its characters—two young black men born and raised in the city— reckon with the uncertainty of its present. As a semi-autobiographical version of himself, Fails’ character is obsessed with a stately Victorian-style house built by his grandfather that his family no longer possesses. Jonathan Majors offers poignant support as his best friend in this dreamy, splendidly composed mood piece about the search for home and identity in the rapidly evolving city they love. (R) 120 minutes. (LJ)

THE LION KING To anyone who thought there were no more trees for Disney to shake money out of, I give you what’s being sold as the latest in the company’s series of live-action remakes of hit cartoons. But the thing is, despite the fact that the computergenerated images of its animal cast are photo-realistic, there’s nothing here that’s actually live action, is there? Nope, it’s literally a cartoon remake of a cartoon. Who knew “hakuna matata” actually translates to “milk it for all it’s worth?” Directed by Jon Favreau. Featuring the voices of Donald Glover, John Oliver and James Earl Jones. (PG) 118 minutes. (SP) MIDSOMMAR A group of tourists who have definitely not seen The Wicker Man go to a small Swedish commune to observe a pagan ritual. The film is set in a small Swedish community, to which a group of Americans have traveled to observe a midsummer festival. Writer-director Ari Aster’s new film isn’t scary, in the traditional sense. And yet the oppressive, constant sense of dread, punctuated by a string of increasingly extreme shocks, creates one of the most effective feats of true cinematic horror to come along in quite some time. (R) 147 minutes. (SP) ROCKETMAN Elton John says there were studios who wanted to take the sex and drugs out of his life story and turn it into a teen-friendly PG-13 movie. Of course that would have been a really bad, soulless triumph of crass commercialism over artistic truth, and I’m glad Sir Elton was able to talk them out of it. But what I really want to know is: what were they planning to put in a movie about Elton John’s life that didn’t have any sex or drugs in it? Directed by Dexter Fletcher. Starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell and Richard Madden. (R) 121 minutes. (SP) STUBER Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista recently said he won’t do Fast and the Furious movies because, “I’d rather do good ones.”Judging from the trailers for Stuber, this is a brand-new policy he came up with after making it. In this action comedy, he plays a cop who drafts unwilling Uber driver Kumail Nanjiani into his operations. I don’t know which of these

things is worse: someone watching Karan Soni’s role as a comic-relief taxi driver in the Deadpool movies and saying,“Let’s make a movie about that, but with fewer South Asian stereotypes” or someone watching Jamie Foxx’s role as a trapped taxi driver in Collateral and thinking,“Let’s make a movie about that, but with more South Asian stereotypes.” But I guarantee you that one of them happened, and thus we have Stuber. Directed by Michael Dowse. Costarring Karen Gillan, Natalie Morales and Mira Sorvino. (R) 93 minutes. (SP) TOY STORY 4 Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and thought, “Should I be worried that both the Child’s Play and Toy Story movies are about a kid named Andy whose toys come to life?” I am definitely not eating spicy foods before bed anymore. In other news, this fourth installment of the animated Pixar franchise is said to be the sweetest and most poignant of them all, which is also what they said about Toy Story 3. And probably what they’ll say about Toy Story 5, as long as Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the gang keep pouring on the sweet poignancy. Directed by Josh Cooley. (G) 100 minutes. (SP) YESTERDAY Imagine if the Beatles had never existed. In his antic and audacious new movie Yesterday, director Danny Boyle poses an even gnarlier idea: suppose the Beatles had existed, but then suddenly disappeared from the collective memory of basically everyone on Earth—except one guy? Imagine the potential for comedy (not to mention plunder and exploitation) if that guy were a struggling singer-songwriter who could take his pick from the entire song catalog of the Fab Four, certain that no one in the audience had ever heard of John, Paul, George, or Ringo. Scripted by veteran Richard Curtis (Four Weddings And A Funeral; Love Actually), for the ever genre-bouncing Boyle, Yesterday is a sly, persuasive morality play about the wages and nature of success dressed up as a popcultural comedy. It’s also entertaining as hell, especially for those of us who do remember The Beatles, thank you very much. Starring Himesh Patel and Lily James (PG-13) 116 minutes. (LJ)

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

FOOD & DRINK that a sudden PG&E power outage had closed Oyunaa’s doors for the next few hours. So we headed for Jaguar, a few doors down Soquel Avenue, only to find that it was also closed—permanently. What is it with Midtown? Why aren’t there more dining choices, and why do the ones that take a stab often fail to succeed? (Big questions, for sure, and ones we’ll be exploring in future columns.) We sprinted for Lillian’s and were quickly accommodated. Small table in the bar OK? Yes! Orders taken swiftly, and pasta also arrived quickly—along with those gooey, delicious arancini. Thank god for Lillian’s, always full but somehow able to squeeze in a few more. But seriously, there just aren’t enough choices in this neck of the woods.

Sourdough Secrets

Companion classes and Midtown blues BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ortals rarely master the life-giving art of baking great bread. At least not quite the way the pros at Companion Bakeshop have. But even amateurs can polish their baking skills to a high gloss by taking one of Companion’s mouthwatering classes, starting with a July 31 Summer Pie Workshop from 5-8 p.m. The very hands-on classes are kept small, 10 to 15 students at most. All are held in the kitchens of Companion’s mothership on Mission Street in Santa Cruz. You’ll take your baking skills

bookshopsantacruz.com

to another level and learn about ingredients, beautiful presentation, professional techniques, and tricks to create satisfying results. At the Sept. 1 Sourdough Basics class, for example, you’ll not only learn the basics of bread making, but students will take home their own sourdough starter and a loaf of bread as well. (There’s a Jan. 15 sourdough class, too.) The Oct. 5 class builds skills for brunch pastries—galettes, scones, quiche, oh my. November and December classes focus on holiday pies and holiday sugar cookie decorating. Classes are offered at various times, including afternoons and

evenings, so there’s no excuse to avoid becoming a better baker. Cost is $80 and includes a take-home example of the pastry created in class. companionbakeshop.com/ workshopsandevents

hen Tim and Helen Korinth moved to the U.S. nearly 20 years ago, there was one big thing the England natives missed: fish and chips. Everywhere they tried was a disappointment, so they decided to make their own. They progressed from serving family and friends to hosting pop-ups under the name Scrumptious Fish and Chips, recently adding a food trailer to serve more at local breweries. Since their fish is beer battered, the recipe changes based on what beer is available at each brewery. Coupled with hand-cut chips, homemade tartar sauce and curry ketchup, the Korinths are bringing the chippy to Santa Cruz with a fresh, local, sustainable spin on the British classic.

Do you notice a difference in the types of beer you use depending on the brewery? TIM KORINTH: There is a slight difference in saltiness, but the main difference is in the color of the batter.

We typically use an amber ale. That gives the batter a nice golden color.

Do you miss the fish and chips from home? I go back to English once or twice a year, and maybe I’m a bit biased, but I think mine are better. People are starting to cut corners. I try to make everything to order from scratch. We use Pacific Cod, and it’s about making the freshest, best product that I can.

Are you expanding the menu? Where are the mushy peas? We just added mushy peas, and I’m doing a pickled onion now, too. When you go into fish and chip shops in the U.K., there is a big jar of pickled onions. We have also just added British bangers for those who don’t like fish. We can do it naked or battered in the same batter as the fish. Scrumptious Fish and Chips will be at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery on Sunday, July 28 from 7-11 p.m. Check online for other pop-ups at scrumptiousfc.com.

ntegrity Wines’ 2017 Pinot Noir is simply outstanding. It has already won serious awards, including the Director’s Award for best Pinot Noir in the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition in May with a score of 95 points (platinum), plus 91 points from Wine Enthusiast. On top of these prestigious accolades, Integrity’s Riesling Santa Lucia Highlands won gold at the Orange County Fair. Integrity wines get better and better, thanks in huge part to Proprietor and Winemaker Mark Hoover, who goes all-out to produce top-notch elixirs. Wines are made in small batches, and Hoover cares about handcrafting, carefully sourcing all the ingredients. The Pinot Noir 2017 Santa Lucia Highlands ($36) has deep notes of Bing cherry, pomegranate seed, red raspberry, fresh violets, black tea, fennel, and cured leather. With its “damp soil on the nose, along with raspberry jam, ripe strawberry, dried lavender, and crushed graphite on the palate,” this intensely complex wine crescendos to a gorgeous mouthful of Pinot. Hoover

says it pairs well with ribs, pork chops, roasted duck breast, fresh salmon, and halibut. For those who truly appreciate exceptional food and wine, there will be a Taste of Integrity Summer Harvest Dinner at the winery on Saturday, Aug. 3, with Chef Diego Felix at the helm. Felix, of Colectivo Felix, will create seven Argentineinspired courses that perfectly pair with seven newly released Integrity wines. Hoover will talk about his wines at the evening feast. The event is open to the public and reserved for guests 21 and over. Tickets cost $150. Integrity’s wines are also now available in many liquor stores, clubs and restaurants, such as Soif Restaurant & Wine Bar, West End Tap & Kitchen, East End Gastropub, Gayle’s Bakery, Cantine Winepub, and Kuumbwa Jazz Center. The winery’s Watsonville tasting room is open from noon-5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Integrity Wines, 135 Aviation Way Suite 16, Watsonville. 322-4200, integrity.wine.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LEO—CREATIVE, FUN-LOVING AND FIERY Everyone knows Leo is the lion of the zodiac, a fiery, dramatic and creative creature; fun-loving with a sense of child-like wonder. Leo is always creating something, which helps build knowledge of the self. “I learn about myself by what I create,” says Leo. Creating helps Leo leave the womb-like Cancer waters, stand alone and enter into a divine state of individuality (necessary developmental stage before group awareness in Aquarius). Individuality, a sense of fun (sometimes brooding), a golden light, creativity, and a seeking of selfawareness describe a Leo personality in the making. Leo is a fire sign (following the waters of Cancer). Fire always carries forward what water has begun. Sometimes, water with fire creates a

steamy situation. Leo controls the life of all aspirants, or seekers of that which is beyond material reality. Aspirants have an inner, unquenchable fire for things more refined or spiritual, finding it difficult to realize this spiritual reality in the marketplace. Aspirants are “beginning to walk the path toward spirit.” And the first step is the knowledge of self. Leo provides the impetus to create, which leads to a recognition of self as a creator. Leo needs tremendous courage. We can help by recognizing, praising and honoring their every step along the way. For this they are quietly grateful.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Do you feel as if you’re on a cross, divided intensely between four ways, standing in the middle wondering which path to venture upon next? There are past issues that need tending and closure before knowing how to proceed. They are being illuminated now, so look around, assess, ponder, pray for guidance, and have the intention to gracefully complete all things unfinished. Then the next page of your life turns.

Something profound, transformative, different, and new will occur in the foundations from which you live your life. It is from here also where change occurs. By autumn, you’ll know what these are. In the meantime, so much has shifted with work and your professional life. Are you feeling somewhat out to sea? Are you doing what you love to do? Do you know what this is? Are you thinking about more travel? Tend with care and kindness all relationships. They sustain, nourish and fortify you in all ways you don’t see yet.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 24, 2019

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Keep going into the future, even though many pressures pull you backward. The new Aquarian realities must be brought forth, and each sign has a specific task and responsibility. You have the illumination needed to communicate to others the plans and purposes of building the new era. You have a model to construct, things to build, expansions to bring forth, information to share so that all that is good can be salvaged. The God of the waters will help.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Truly, you are experiencing much duality. For balance, stand directly center, so you can see both sides before choosing, observe clearly, and understand how to create a triangle of synthesis. There are two paths outlined for you, yes? Choosing the right path is revealed through revelation (symbols). Draw, visualize and ponder upon the following–a seven-pointed star, six-pointed star, five-pointed star, triangle, cross, and circle. Visualize yourself at the center of each.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

As your home life tumbles and bobs about here and there (expansion, then wounding, then a sense of dissolving) you could feel a bit of sadness and despair along with a sense of exhilaration. Both are occurring, along with a shift of friends (are you feeling somewhat alone?) and new information coming in about work and your professional life. Tend to money carefully. No excess expenditures on baubles or things that shine. Matter all around you is disappearing quickly. The world is changing. You understand its underbelly.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 It’s time for something new in terms of relationships. It’s also time to travel somewhere you’ve been before, to assess it with new eyes. Be aware of how much work you’ve done, how much you do each day, where you are today, and where you’ve been. In the next seven years, your usual ways of thinking and interpreting will change into a profoundly new way of assessing the world. Your creativity alters, too.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You stand between two themes with money: you have enough, you don’t have enough. In between is a possible wound. Perhaps you grew up with very little money, enough money or too much. This gave you a certain lens concerning money. But here we are today, and all around us the monetary world as we’ve known it is changing. Don’t fret or be fearful about anything. You always have what you need. Ponder upon priorities considering your creativity. What will you create now? You always come to true answers.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Tend carefully to finances; ask for assistance if puzzled, and embrace the future by banking locally and investing money in tangibles and goods that are practical yet sustaining. Plan on others learning from you. Humans, plants and animals, too. Past memories may appear. It’s good to ask, “Did I love enough?” If not, there’s still time. The saying, “Love is all there is” is real. It’s your mantram. A group offers two suggestions. Relationships fall sideways.

There is and will be a breaking away from your usual ways of being. What’s normal will be upside down for a while. This gives you time to assess who you are, what you value about yourself and how you would like to change. Increased social interactions lead to increased social success. You are accomplishing life’s tasks on your own, in your own timing and rules. This is good. Finally, you have the freedom to step into your dreams.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

There may be some ongoing self-criticism and resulting heartaches. Previous beliefs and actions may no longer suffice. It’s important to know the critical thoughts are not true. They’re simply old remnants. It’s good to turn toward words of praise creating a journal of self-praise, which then allows your true identity, gifts and abilities to come forth. Praise of all things all around you neutralizes mental and emotional fear, sadness, illusions, and distortions.

Things feel very complex. You’re in a state of solitude, and all your expectations are surfacing, providing information previously not known. Clearly you see that disappointments and sadnesses, those that lead to despair, are based upon unrealized hopes, dreams and wishes. These were not incorrect. Now you are aware of them. What you will do next? Keep observing, refining yourself, and remain in a state of praise.

A duality is being presented to you in terms of your religious or spiritual practices. Perhaps there’s a fusion occurring between what you were taught and what you know or seek now. Perhaps you have found a new spiritual practice. Or maybe your friends don’t participate with you or support what you believe in. Is your communication possibly critical? Careful. You may not realize your tone of impatience. The homeopath Aconite neutralizes impatience (an excess of electrical energy). Stay out of rainstorms.

As the evidence mounts (more listings, more price reductions, fewer overall sales) it’s starting to feel like less of a seasonal lull and more like a larger shift in the balance between buyers and sellers. If that’s true, it’s a shift that’s at least a year overdue. This has been the longest uninterrupted seller’s market anyone can remember. A wild ride. But no cycle, up or down, lasts forever. Which is an easy thing to say in the abstract. But a much harder thing to accept when it’s your house that’s in the middle of a changing market! To help inform some of the difficult discussions ahead, as agents, sellers and buyers struggle to tweak their perspectives, here are a few more observations about how the market communicates its message. Whether it’s the one you want to hear or not. If you are selling your house…the goal is to sell your house. It doesn’t matter what you think your house is worth. Or what your agent thinks it’s worth. Or what anyone else thinks along the way. The market simply doesn’t care. The only thing that matters is what all those ready, willing and able buyers think your house is worth. The market can be defined as: how every house compares to every other house that’s for sale, and by how many buyers are competing with each other at any given point in time, aka the law of supply and demand. “People vote with their pocketbooks.” Everyone has heard the phrase. Nowhere is that more true than in real estate. When some places sell and others don’t, it’s the perfect illustration of people voting with their pocketbooks. They compare, contrast and exercise their right to choose from all the available options. The most fundamental truth about any marketplace is this: at the right price, everything sells. Friends, neighbors, relatives and/or your own inner voices driven by fear and expectation can spin the market’s message in a confusing variety of ways. There’s never a lack of excuses about why a house isn’t selling. But in the end, it all comes back to the same thing. At the right price, it doesn’t matter if there’s too much freeway noise, too much work, too many trees, too small of a yard, (or too big of a yard!), too many steps, too few bedrooms, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Because…at the right price, all of those objections will disappear and your house will sell.

What first got you Shopping here? I had moved into the neighborhood and so it was a natural fit for me to shop at Shopper’s. I also had met Jim (Beauregard), and his kids as well, from waiting on them at Tampico Grande. I liked that I had met the Shopper’s Corner owner. Previously, I had been shopping at health food stores but quickly appreciated Shopper’s as a more traditional type of market but with a Santa Cruz twist. Shopper’s is always well-stocked, tidy and organized.You know where products are as they don’t move them around like the most of the bigger stores do for marketing purposes.

You prefer shopping local? I do. Shopper’s carries so many locally produced items, like all the good micro-bakery breads and other baked goods, plus coffees, fresh salsas, pies, wines, Wonnie’s Korean sauces — good on tofu, meatballs and fish — and the produce, of course; both organic and conventional, which is never under- or over-ripe. I love Shopper’s summer fruit! Onsite ownership can make a big difference and it certainly does with Shopper’s: it has the cleanest parking lot in the state, thanks to Tony! Shopper’s feels safe! I’ve been in parking lots in town where I don’t want to get out of my car.

Hobbies: Photography, reading,

You see Shopper’s as an important community business? Definitely. Shopper’s stands for longevity, consistency and quality. It’s also a fun place to shop.You never wait in long checkout lines because they have plenty of friendly checkers and baggers; they’re not cheap when it comes to hiring the locals.And their people aren’t phony.You see the butchers telling jokes and having fun. I find them knowledgeable and helpful. Shopper’s continues to thrive though competitors have popped up over the years.These mega stores have coffee houses, banks, drug stores but where’s the good food?

“Shopper’s stands for longevity, consistency and quality, and has the cleanest parking lot in the state!”
