OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE The big news this week is that Good Times has purchased the RegisterPajaronian and its sister publication Aptos Life. You can read the details in the story on page 12, but on a personal note, I want to say that I’m really proud to see GT taking over stewardship of one of the oldest and most storied papers in this area. The R-P was the first place to give me a job as a professional journalist, back in 1995, when then-Features-Editor Stacey Vreeken took a chance on hiring me as her assistant and music writer—because, she claimed, I knew what the punk band X was. James O’Brien, who was so completely identified by his nickname Bud that I didn’t even know he had another name until he passed away in 2009 and I read it in his obit, was in his last year before he retired as the Pajaronian’s editor.

He was the very model of a Golden

DO YOU RECALL?

I consider myself passionate about politics; opinionated, and outspoken, watching City Council meetings with a keen fascination. But uncharacteristically, I’m writing not to express opinions or sway allegiance, but to share some facts about recalls in general and the proposed recall in particular (Nuz, June 19).

Recall elections are expensive, distracting, and divisive, and our city is making hard choices due to a very large budget deficit. The fact that the recall petitions are directed at one council member elected six months ago and another up for re-election in a year and a half, causes me to question the wisdom and intent of pursuing a costly special election at this time.

In terms of what qualifies as a recall petition, I learned, incredulously, that any statement of justification—accurate or

Age newspaperman, and in general the R-P (then owned by Scripps, it was bought by News Media Corp. while I was there) was the ideal place to learn the beats and the business of journalism. No one who worked there ever forgot the paper had once won a Pulitzer Prize, and there was a standard of excellence we strove for. Obviously times have changed, and the industry is almost unrecognizable now compared to what it was then, but even after the R-P went from a daily paper to a weekly paper last year, I felt like the crew there was striving for that same standard. Welcome to the family, guys, keep up the good work.

Did I mention this is our Green Issue? You’ll definitely want to read Lauren Hepler’s cover story on UCSC’s Barry Sinervo, and how his work to create a universal formula that predicts extinctions could transform the way we think about climate change. And Mat Weir takes a look in our news section at how much waste the new legal cannabis industry is producing, plus what’s being done to make the industry more sustainable.

not—with 20 signatures, qualifies as a petition to recall, and can be circulated for signatures! I’m also all-too-aware that when there is money backing a recall, signature gatherers are hired on a pay by signature basis to attain the required 20% of registered voters’ signatures.

Examining the statements in the current petitions, I found false, unsubstantiated and misleading accusations. For example, one petition states that Drew Glover said that there was “no health and safety risk” involved in keeping Ross Camp open. What he actually said was the risks were not imminent and unmanageable, and could be corrected without the camp closure, which he felt would displace many back into our doorways and bushes. I live near downtown and have seen evidence of this having occurred.

Another claim is that the councilperson “demonstrated through actions and temperament that he is not fit to serve as a city council member”—clearly an

DON’T BLOW IT UP PART 1

DON’T BLOW IT UP PART 2

Across most of Santa Cruz County, it’s illegal to set off fireworks, and law enforcement will be out looking for violators around the county on Thursday, July 4. The rules may be the strictest in the city of Santa Cruz, which has a citywide “safety enhancement zone” on July 4 and 5. The one exception to the local ban is the city of Watsonville, which allows residents to set off “safe and sane” fireworks only for the first four days of July.

Now that the Golden State Warriors have re-signed Klay Thompson to a five-year, $190-million deal, maybe we’ll see him get some playing time in Santa Cruz after rehabbing his torn ACL. The last NBA season ended in devastating fashion for Golden State fans, after crushing injuries for Thompson and Kevin Durant, who the Warriors just traded at his request. But at least inaugural Santa Cruz Warriors Coach Nate Bjorkgren, now an assistant for the Toronto Raptors, got a championship ring.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 3 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

When the universe began 13.8 billion years ago, there were only four elements: mostly hydrogen and helium, plus tiny amounts of lithium and beryllium. Now there are 118 elements, including five that are key components of your body: oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

All of those were created by nuclear reactions blazing on the insides of stars that later died. So it’s literally true to say that much of your flesh and blood and bones and nerves originated at the hearts of stars. I invite you to meditate on that amazing fact. It’s a favorable time to muse on your origins and your ancestry; to ruminate about all the events that led to you being here today—including more recent decades, as well as the past 13.8 billion years.

“A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue,” mused Libra author Truman Capote. “That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.” That cynical formulation has more than a few grains of truth in it, I must admit. But I’m pleased to tell you that I suspect your experience in the coming weeks will be an exception to Capote’s rule. I think you have the potential to embark on a virtual binge of rich discussion and intriguing interplay with people who stimulate and educate and entertain you. Rise to the challenge!

TAURUS Apr20–May20

In accordance with astrological rhythms, you are authorized to make the following declarations in the next two weeks: 1. “I refuse to participate further in this situation on the grounds that it might impinge on the expansiveness of my imagination.” 2. “I abstain from dealing with your skepticism on the grounds that doing so might discourage the flights of my imagination.” 3. “I reject these ideas, theories and beliefs on the grounds that they might pinch, squash or deflate my imagination.” What I’m trying to tell you, Scorpio, is that it’s crucial for you to emancipate your imagination and authorize it to play uninhibitedly in the frontiers of possibilities.

Most American women couldn’t vote until 100 years ago.

Women in Japan, France and Italy couldn’t vote until the 1940s. Universal suffrage has been a fundamental change in how society is structured. Similarly, same-sex marriage was opposed by vast majorities in most countries until 15 years ago, but has since become widely accepted. African American slavery lasted for hundreds of years before being delegitimized all over the Western world in the 19th century.

Brazil, which hosted 40% of all kidnapped Africans, didn’t free its slaves until 1888. What would be the equivalent of such revolutionary transformations in your own personal life? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have the power to make that happen during the next 12 months.

GEMINI May21–June20 Gemini musician Paul Weller is famous in the UK, though not so much elsewhere. According to the BBC, he is one of Britain’s “most revered music writers and performers.” To which I say: revered, maybe, but mentally healthy? Not so much. He bragged that he broke up his marriage with his wife Dee C. Lee because, “Things were going too well, we were too happy, too comfortable, everything seemed too nice.” He was afraid that, “as a writer and an artist I might lose my edge.” Don’t you dare allow yourself to get infected with that perverse way of thinking, my dear Gemini.

Please capitalize on your current comfort and happiness.

Use them to build your strength and resilience for the months and years to come.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 Cancerian voice actor Tom Kenny has played the roles of over 1,500 cartoon characters, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Spyro the Dragon, Jake Spidermonkey, Commander Peepers, and Doctor Octopus. I propose that we make him your role model in the coming weeks.

It will be a favorable time for you to show your versatility; to demonstrate how multifaceted you can be; to express various sides of your soulful personality.

Leo author Donald Miller reminds us that fear can have two very different purposes. On the one hand, it may be “a guide to keep us safe,” alerting us to situations that could be dangerous or abusive. On the other hand, fear may work as “a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.” After studying your astrological indicators for the coming weeks, Leo, I have come to the conclusion that fear may serve both of those functions for you. Your challenge will be to discern between them, to know which situations are genuinely risky and which situations are daunting but promising. Here’s a hint that might help: trust your gut feelings more than your swirling fantasies.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Why do flocks of geese fly in a V-formation? Because to do so enhances the collective efficiency of their travel.

Each bird generates a current that supports the bird behind it. Let’s make this phenomenon one of your power metaphors for the coming weeks. What would be the equivalent strategy for you and your tribe or group as you seek to make your collaborative efforts more dynamic and productive? Unforeseen help will augment any actions you take in this regard.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Dear Sagittarius, I invite you to make a copy of the testimonial below and give it to anyone who is in a position to support your Noble Experiment: “To Whom It May Concern, I endorse this Soulful Sagittarius for the roles of monster-tamer, fun-locator, boredom-transcender, elation-inciter, and mountaintop visionary. This adroit explorer is endowed with charming zeal, disarming candor and abundant generosity. If you need help in sparking your enthusiasm or galvanizing your drive to see the big picture, call on the expansive skills of this jaunty puzzle-solver."

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Life will conspire to bring you a surge of love in the coming weeks—if you can handle it. Can you? Will you be able to deal adeptly with rumbling love and icy-hot love and mostly-sweet-but-also-a-bit-sour love? Do you possess the resourcefulness and curiosity necessary to have fun with funny spiritual love and running-through-the-labyrinth love and unexpectedly catalytic love? Are you open-minded and open-hearted enough to make the most of brilliant shadowy love and unruly sensitive love and toughly graceful love?

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 I don’t endlessly champion the “no pain, no gain” theory of personal growth. My philosophy holds that we are at least as likely to learn valuable lessons from pleasurable and joyful experiences as we are from difficult and taxing struggles. Having said that, I also think it’s true that our suffering may lead us to treasure if we know how to work with it. According to my assessment, the coming weeks will bring one such opening for you. To help you cultivate the proper spirit, keep in mind the teaching of Aquarian theologian and author Henri Nouwen. He said that life’s gifts may be “hidden in the places that hurt most.”

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The Japanese word “wabi-sabi” refers to an interesting or evocative imperfection in a work of art that makes it more beautiful than if it were merely perfect. “Duende” is a Spanish word referring to a work of art that gives its viewers the chills because it’s so emotionally rich and unpredictably soulful. In the coming weeks, I think that you yourself will be a work of art with an abundance of these qualities. Your wabi-sabi will give you the power to free yourself from the oppressive pressures of seeking too much precision and purity.

Your duende can give you the courage you need to go further than you’ve ever dared in your quest for the love you really want.

Homework: “Know thyself—or else! Follow your dreams—or else!”

Packaging and vape pens in the cannabis industry are creating a sustainability problem BY MAT WEIR [This is part two of a two-part series on vaping. Part one ran last week. — Editor]

W

hen J.J. Kaplan was a supervisor for a San Francisco cannabis collective, he saw a lot of trash headed for the garbage bin.

“I would see boxes of plastic and waste everywhere,” he says.

He talked about it with his friend Sam Penny, a garbagetruck driver who had also noticed the problem, and together they decided to launch a new business, Canna Cycle, to reduce waste in the world of weed.

“People forget our industry was built on old-school hippies and growers who were sustainable on all aspects,” Kaplan says.

Currently based in Eureka, Canna Cycle launched at the beginning of the year and now has recycling bins in more than a dozen locations throughout the Bay Area. Locally, their 23-gallon bins at Herbal Cruz and both KindPeoples locations collect cannabis packaging, electronic cigarette cartridges and more. The Santa Cruz market is not only important because of the booming cannabis business here, but also because it’s centrally located

between Humboldt and Southern California, where Canna Cycle hopes to expand.

Kaplan and Penny plan to repurpose much of the glass back to the industry, and say that the plastic can be turned into things like filament for 3-D printers.

The company also launched at a time when the recycling industry is in crisis due to rising costs, with some cities across the nation cutting their programs. The cannabis industry, meanwhile, continues to grow—10 states and Washington D.C. have already fully legalized recreational use >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 3-9, 2019

Nearly two years ago, Santa Cruz City Councilmember Chris Krohn and I met at UCSC to talk about a planned housing expansion onto the Porter Meadow.

Krohn suggested that, before we go anywhere, we walk through Rachel Carson College to an adjacent site once home to more than 50 redwoods, which had just been cut down to make way for what’s now a chemical waste facility. “We can’t keep cutting trees down like this,” Krohn said, surveying the fresh wood chips scattered on the ground. “Especially cutting them down without telling anyone. I mean, look at all of these stumps.”

I wasn’t quite sure why we were there at the time, but looking back on that meeting, I can see that Krohn—who’d recently been elected to his first council term in more than 15 years—holds a core belief that Santa Cruz should protect as many old, big trees as possible.

“Trees make everything more pleasant.

They soften the environment,” Krohn told me when we met again a couple of weeks ago for a walk down Center Street, towards a few fresh cement plots once home to trees.

“I think a lot of community-minded things can happen when you have a healthy urban tree count.”

Krohn notes that the city of Santa Monica has an urban tree count, and says it has a “pretty amazing” system to track the status of its canopy. He recently put in a request to learn how many heritage trees have been cut down in the last three years in Santa Cruz. “I’m not sure when I’m going to get that,” he says Krohn has a particular affinity for live oaks.

He has four growing in his yard alongside some fruit trees he planted. “Adding to the urban canopy is one of the top things we can do for climate change mitigation. It’s easy, low-hanging fruit—not to mix metaphors,” he says. “But I’d love to know if we are adding to the urban canopy or not.”

In 2016, Maria Grusauskas wrote a cover story for GT about local heritage >14

Moving Back Toward Double Digits

By Datta Khalsa, Broker Over the course of its first five full years, our real estate fund enjoyed average annualized returns of 14.5%, compounding to 18.9% for our investors who rolled these returns back into their shares. The end of last year saw our annualized return dip into the single digits for the first time, posting a 7.5% profit, but we are pleased to report as we round the half-way point for 2019 that the returns are moving back toward double digits.

Simply stated, the fund’s returns are based on the combined performance of our assets. Using a method termed mark-to-market appreciation, we set a timeline for each investment starting with the initial cost as of the date of acquisition and ending with the projected net proceeds as of the forecasted date of disposition or payoff. Each investment’s individual returns are then calculated as a percentage its annual estimated accrued value the course of the year. The weighted returns for all these assets are then pooled together along with the fund’s annual cash flow to calculate the overall yield for the period evaluated.

JULY 3-9, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The main contributing factor for the slowdown in our annualized return toward the end of 2018 was a delay in close of escrow for our largest holding in Fresno. Accruals for that asset correctly factored in the sale price at twice what we had paid for it two years prior, but since the investment had fully accrued based on our projected close date towards the end of 3Q 2018, its delayed sale created what we term “dead money” for the funds allocated for that property until it eventually sold. We did eventually close escrow on the project for the $1.8MM agreed selling price, giving a nice bump to our net returns for the month of May, coming in at 22.7%, and bringing our year-to-date annualized yield up to 9.1%.

12

We currently hold about $7 Million in assets across 9 states, including our recent move into the Georgia market with a pair of 6-month SFR flip projects in Atlanta and Decatur. These projects are showing pro forma returns well into the double digits, with initial estimates indicating we could net annualized ROI’s of 26.9% and 74.5%, respectively. We don’t expect these types of profits to be scalable, and we will use more conservative numbers on the estimated accrual for each project, but it’s nice to be able to see those types of numbers pop up on the bottom line when you run your initial analysis. And we have leads on at least two more off-market deals down the street from one of the homes that could bring us similar returns to what we are looking at with our initial move into that neighborhood.

Moving into the second half of 2019 we show multiple areas of continued growth and success that continue to build on our solid foundation of the past five years.

And it is a source of personal pride and achievement for us to be able to participate in the many projects we help bring to fruition, while along the way we are able to contribute to the ongoing prosperity of our growing family investors who help make all of this possible.

for adults, with another 27 allowing either medicinal use or use of the non-psychoactive CBD. Only 10 states remain with laws completely criminalizing the plant.

“The waste that the cannabis industry produces is astronomical,” says KindPeoples Retail Operation Manager Chelsea Burman. “There is certainly more waste now with legalization, even down to the shrink-wrap surrounding packages.”

NOT EASY BEING GREEN “The cannabis industry is a huge source of plastic waste,” says Tim Goncharoff, Santa Cruz County’s zero waste programs manager. “Mostly because of the safety regulations, they are being forced to generate a lot of waste.”

More and more city and state governments are banning singleuse plastic items, from grocery bags to straws, but California regulations require all cannabis products to be sold in child-resistant packaging—some of which has to be reusable for multiple doses—and all edible products must be in opaque packaging. This includes everything from smaller, pre-rolled joints that are usually sold in long, plastic “doob tubes” to jars of cannabis flower.

At the moment, there is no data

being collected on just how much waste the cannabis industry is generating. But a stroll along Pacific Avenue or Cowell Beach reveals plenty of empty doob tubes, used vape cartridges and wrappers.

All of these are contributing to a larger problem of plastic particles contaminating the ocean, and even our bodies. A study released last month in Environmental Science and Technology found that humans eat 39,000 to 52,000 tiny plastics per year.

KindPeoples, a Santa Cruz Certified Green Businesses, tries to stock as many brands that incorporate eco-friendly production or packaging as possible, Burman says. As part of the Canna Cycle program, both locations accept all forms of cannabis packaging waste, provided it has been emptied first.

The flower, or bud, is what most people think of when they think about packing a bowl, and those 3.5 grams of dried product, when purchased at a local dispensary, come in plastic or glass jars that can weigh up to 184 grams. A 1-gram joint comes in a plastic doob tube containing 40.5 grams. Edibles come in packaging that weighs up to 22 times the weight of the product.

On top of that, the product must leave the store in opaque bags, with many Santa Cruz shops recently

opting to use paper bags instead of the harder-to-recycle, industrystandard mylar bags.

HERB YOUR ENTHUSIASM An August 2018 report in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that one in seven Americans had used cannabis in the previous year, with nearly 5% of those using an electronic cigarette, or vape pen, to do so.

According to another study from the same journal around the same time, 10.8 million Americans— roughly one in 20—were using e-cigarettes, which can also contain nicotine, as a method of weaning themselves off traditional cigarettes.

The devices come with heavily toxic lithium batteries and vape cartridges made out of metal and glass, plus combustible heating filaments. While each of these things are theoretically recyclable on their own, when combined they are not. There’s also some leftover residue inside the cartridge, making it a hazardous material by law, and leaving individual e-cigarettes in a sort of after-life limbo.

“Can you recycle it? No. Can you throw it away? No,” explains Goncharoff. “Right now the only legitimate option is to take it to a Household Hazardous Waste facility, and they are only located at landfills.” >16

GOOD TIMES PURCHASES REGISTER-PAJARONIAN Good Times has purchased the 151-year-old Watsonville Register-Pajaronian and its companion publication Aptos Life from News Media Corp. of Rochelle, Illinois.

Founded as The Pajaronian on March 5, 1868, the newspaper has an illustrious history. It became the nation’s smallest daily paper to earn a Pulitzer Prize for public service in 1956 after its photographer caught the county’s district attorney participating in illegal gambling.

Published since 1975, Good Times is Santa Cruz

County’s largest circulation publication. “This acquisition gives us additional reach in the mid-county and south county areas,” said Good Times General Manager Lee May. In June, Good Times was honored to be chosen among the state’s three top publications of its size for the California Newspaper Publishers Association’s “General Excellence” award.

News Media Corp. publishes more than 70 media titles in nine states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Nebraska, Oregon,

South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming. “We were pleased to find a Northern California-based publisher with adjacent properties that was a good fit for the Pajaronian. This transaction enables us to focus on the success of our core properties in the Midwest,” said NMC president Nickolas Monico.

Owned by a succession of local owners for its first 72 years, the Pajaronian was sold in 1940 to the Cincinnati, Ohio-based E. W. Scripps Company, a national newspaper chain, and merged

with the Watsonville Register to become the RegisterPajaronian. In 1995, News Media Corp. bought the publication.

An affiliate of Good Times that publishes weeklies in southern Santa Clara and San Benito counties will operate News Media’s four Monterey County weeklies: King City Rustler, Greenfield News, Soledad Bee, Gonzales Tribune. They will join a group that includes this year’s CNPA General Excellence winner for newspapers of its size, the Gilroy Dispatch.

trees and the urban canopy. Grusauskas noted that Santa Cruz doesn’t keep a system for categorizing trees, or even know how many trees are growing on its land. But that may soon change, now that Santa Cruz has landed a grant with CalFire that will fund a tree inventory on city property.

“We are working on creating an inventory of all of the trees within city property, within the city limits, and doing an assessment of their health, condition, species and size and diameter,” says Leslie Keedy, an urban forester with the city of Santa Cruz.

“That includes street and park trees, and city-owned buildings and the golf course.

We estimated that we have about 50,000 trees citywide, but won’t be sure until the inventory is complete.”

That same CalFire grant will also reimburse the city for planting 500 new

canopy trees—including horse chestnuts, maples, oaks, and redwoods—that will help trap carbon emissions and provide storm water benefits. The majority of the new trees have already been planted in parks or near roadways and other public areas with the help of volunteers. Keedy says there are around 150 left to plant by winter.

On top of the grant, the city will also plant 100 non-canopy trees in confined areas like sidewalks, narrow street medians and parks. In a typical year, Keedy says the city plants upwards of 250 canopy and medium-sized trees.

The city’s lack of a tree count annoyed Krohn, as did a 2013 rule change making it easier to cut down heritage trees if they posed problems for property owners. A 2015 appellate court ruling threw out that change, on the grounds that it violated the California Environmental Quality Act. “Part of the story with cutting trees is

the fear factor,” Krohn says. “People want to cut down heritage trees because they are worried about trees falling on them.

But that’s why the heritage tree fund is so important, because trees don’t fall very often, and there are other solutions.”

The Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Department recently proposed that City Council consider a $25,000 increase to the Heritage Grant grant program, doubling the fund to $50,000 as part of the 2020 budget proposal. Parks and Recreation Director Tony Elliot says that because the agency was faced with budget restrictions for the next fiscal year, they are unable to increase the heritage tree budget themselves. The heritage tree budget increase was not approved by the council, and will remain at $25,000.

From 2017 to June 2019, the city has approved removal of an average of 300 trees per year—including dead trees, hazards, street trees, and heritage trees. About

90% of applications are granted, Keedy says, and any heritage tree appeals, which cost $100, are heard first by the Parks and Recreation Commission and then go onto the City Council if a resident decides to appeal. Keedy must find a tree unhealthy or hazardous if it is set to be removed, though the council or commission can uphold or reverse her decision.

Since the 250 trees usually planted each year aren’t guaranteed to outnumber those cut down, the CalFire grant this year will provide a “bonus planting,” likely putting the city in the green. The exact number of trees to be removed won’t be known until Keedy’s office generates a final report.

But there’s more work to be done, Krohn says. “I used to read the Dr. Suess story The Lorax over and over with my kids,” he says.

“Trees have been big issues in Santa Cruz over the years, but lately I am feeling like we are losing the trees and the tree stories.”

During the medicinal era of California cannabis, the industry was not as heavily regulated, allowing dispensaries leeway in efforts like reusing old jars. They could also collect, clean and reuse vape pens.

Goncharoff theorizes that the government might make the industry confront the bulk of the waste with so-called “extended producer responsibilities,” which put the onus on manufacturers to figure out a way to handle the disposal of their products responsibly.

But talk of increased regulation ignites simmering concerns in a cannabis sector that’s already facing financial burdens.

“From consumers to manufacturers, it’s pretty much the whole industry’s opinion that we’re already taxed too much,” says Kameron Miller, production manager for Santa Cruz-based 3 Bros Grows. “So nobody wants to see that.”

He says there are more innovative ways for cannabis businesses to become more sustainable. For example, 3 Bros recently changed all of its pre-roll packaging to recycled, reclaimed ocean plastic. He says the company also has a contract with GreenWaste to deal with composting its plant material waste post-harvest.

The federal legalization of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill could be a positive step toward eliminating plastic waste, and companies are already taking advantage of the powerful natural fiber. Santa Cruz Shredders recently released a 100% hemp-made grinder that sells for $10.

Canna Cycle also teamed up with Humboldt growers to launch a separate company, Sugar Hill, last month. Its first item, the Sugar Stick blunt, comes rolled in hemp wraps with a wooden, biodegradable tip to reduce heat on the user’s lips, and comes in a fully biodegradable, hemp-plastic tube.

“The cost of using biodegradable plastic can be two to three times more expensive,” he admits. “But if these become popular, hopefully other brands will follow suit.”

How UCSC biologist Barry Sinervo’s groundbreaking lizard extinction research could predict the wrath of climate change—and what to do about it

BY LAUREN HEPLER

instilling an early appreciation for nature’s quirks. “I had iguanas as a kid, and I hunted snakes,” Sinervo says. “You know the mating balls that males end up in, where you get a male copulating a male? That was my sex education.”

The eccentric humor and northern humility lend Sinervo an ability to get away with things that many academics can’t, like referencing his own TED Talk without sounding pretentious. In that 2015 talk, he recounted how it was around 2001 when he first noticed European lizards disappearing from their usual habitats. He and his colleagues soon found similar extinctions all around the world, pointing to a new era of mass extinction with die-offs comparable to the last Ice Age. Except this time, it’s happening much faster.

“Biological annihilation,” or an “assault on the foundations of human civilisation” are how recent reports describe the current era of biodiversity loss, which some researchers call the “anthropocene.” Gerardo Ceballos of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, who led a 2017 study that tracked habitat loss for 27,500 land-dwelling species, told the Guardian that, “The situation has become so bad it would not be ethical not to use strong language.”

At home on the Central Coast, Sinervo and his wife have noticed that species like the northern alligator lizard, unique for giving birth to live young rather than laying eggs, have disappeared from their backyard.

The same emissions-driven temperature increases causing habitats to go haywire are also accelerating sea-level rise in coastal communities like Santa Cruz, which is just starting to grapple with what to do about billions of dollars worth of seaside real estate threatened by higher tides and more frequent extreme weather.

n three refrigerated closets set to precisely 15, 18 and 21 degrees Celsius, Barry Sinervo is using several dozen salamanders assembled in small plastic tubs to predict the future.

On one metal shelf is a contingent of surreal-looking “Mexican walking fish,” called axolotls, which have nearly vanished from the Mexico City canals forged by the Aztecs.

There are also endangered Santa Cruz longtoed salamanders, and a black-and-red-spotted species native to the Sierra Nevadas.

“These are going extinct,” Sinervo says as he wrangles a lanky giant salamander. The cast of creatures changes often at the lab in UCSC’s coastal biology building, but the goal stays the same.

“We gotta save them,” Sinervo says.

The focus on amphibians and Sinervo’s first passion, lizards, may seem niche within the wide world of evolutionary biology, but scientists have found that they’re an excellent proxy for the physical and social changes that climate change can spur in all kinds of species.

After more than three decades of tracking extinctions and adaptations, Sinervo is using the data he’s gathered to hone universal formulas that may also be able to predict extinctions for birds, fish and mammals.

“In a funny way, I’m the Nostradamus of biodiversity,” says Sinervo, who is trained as both a mathematician and a herpetologist—a biologist specializing in reptiles and amphibians. “We can prove the sixth mass extinction is happening now.”

The affable 58-year-old, whose office door says “Dr. Lizardo,” has a remarkably sunny demeanor for someone who has made a career out of predicting environmental catastrophes. He credits his upbringing in Ontario’s rugged Thunder Bay region with

<19 “We really have a train wreck coming,” says Gary Griggs, a coastal geologist and author who has helped write recent state climate assessments with Sinervo. “Well, there are a couple train wrecks.”

From Santa Cruz to Big Sur, the mountains of Central Mexico to the Amazon rainforest and the Kalahari desert, Sinervo can now reliably predict death and destruction everywhere he goes.

But he also has a secret to avoid the cynicism and depression that might accompany his line of work.

It gets easier after you come face to face with your own demise.

HEAT RISING Even when he was a student at the University of Washington in the late 1980s, Sinervo was aware of the conversation about climate change. Back then, it was theoretical. If action wasn’t taken to curb carbon emissions causing global temperatures to spike, the

thinking at the time went, it was likely that more species would start to disappear.

Sinervo’s frequent research collaborator Donald Miles, a fellow lizard expert and professor at Ohio University, remembers a “small but dedicated” group of ecologists and biologists sounding the alarm about climate change around the time he started working with Sinervo in 1993. Sinervo was always funny and enthusiastic, Miles remembers, but he was intense, working long hours and building a reputation as a prolific publisher in scientific journals.

Sinervo made a name for himself as a doctoral student, and got hired at UCSC, after he discovered what he describes as a naturally occurring game of rock-paper-scissors near a research site in Los Banos. For male side-blotched lizards that come in three colors—orange, blue or yellow—he established that each group’s character traits keep the three populations in

LIZARD VISION <20 equilibrium. The orange lizards’ blatant aggression beats the smaller blue lizards, using brute force to win more mating partners. But the yellow lizards can trick the macho orange lizards by imitating females to sneak in and find more mates.

Blue can still trump yellow, though, since they’re monogamous are more vigilant in protecting mating partners.

The “roshambo” research, as Sinervo calls it, was one of what would become many examples of how lizard evolution can shed light on an issue that confounds humans.

“A lot of people struggle with teaching gender,” Sinervo says.

“With the lizards, you can kind of begin to grapple with all that.

They’re not just male and female.”

In the process, Sinervo also established his street cred with fellow herpetologists.

“He’s a very proficient lizard capturer,” Miles says of Sinervo’s sharp eye and quick reflexes to lasso a lizard lurking in a crevice. “For every lizard I would catch, Barry would catch two.”

Even today, Sinervo has a cooler in his office marked “herps only,” with a no smoking sign through a drawing of an ice cream cone—a system his wife developed to distinguish coolers for transporting lizards and salamanders from coolers for transporting food.

By 2007, Sinervo and Miles had worked together enough that the UCSC professor sent a grad student with Miles to Mexico for what was supposed to be a fairly routine research trip. Following the directions of Mexican colleague Fausto Roberto Méndez de la Cruz, the duo headed to a reliable site east of Mexico City. But they couldn’t find the lizards there, or in several surrounding areas. They called for reinforcements.

“There were five people looking for lizards, and we didn’t find any of the species,” Miles recalls. “Maybe it’s climate change,” he told Méndez de la Cruz.

In the following months, Sinervo made similar extinction discoveries in the Yucatán, and by 2010, a team

of more than two-dozen researchers on several continents expanded the findings into a landmark article published in the journal Science under the title “Erosion of Lizard Diversity by Climate Change and Altered Thermal Niches.” In layman’s terms, the researchers had connected the dots between extinctions by proving that climate change was the common link.

“Then we knew it was global,” Sinervo says. “Other people had published extinctions that seemed enigmatic, but we could explain them all around the world.”

Professionally, things were better than they’d ever been. Within a few years, the paper was cited by hundreds of other researchers, and Sinervo attracted new funding from groups like the National Science Foundation to train hundreds of graduate students in the field. In 2014, he was granted $1.9 million from the University of California Office of the President to create an Institute for the Study of Ecological and Evolutionary Climate Impacts.

The following year, Sinervo returned from a whirlwind 26-country tour of Europe, China, the Amazon and other hotbeds for extinction. As usual, the results were brutal. He struggled to process the constant bad news.

“Oh my god it was so depressing,” he says. “For several years I was thinking, ‘I’m leaving my son with nothing.’”

But today, in his office filled with reminders of doom, Sinervo’s attitude is different. He can pinpoint exactly what changed his mind.

“You know I’ve had cancer, right?” he says.

THE BRINK Adenoid cystic carcinoma, or ACC, is a rare form of malignant tissue growth often found in salivary glands of the head and neck. Sinervo knew biology better than almost anyone, and the diagnosis was devastating. The cancer got into his sinuses and soft palate, and a team of researchers at Stanford would have to rebuild his throat.

Still, Sinervo was pragmatic.

He didn’t want to rack up carbon emissions driving to Stanford twice a week, so he took the bus from Santa Cruz to a train in San Jose to another bus in Palo Alto, which took about four hours round trip. He kept growing lettuce in his backyard for vegetarian meals and insisted that he and his family reuse old iPhones.

Over time, his perspective started to shift.

“As I normalized my fight with cancer and realized maybe I’ll be able to overcome it, I did that in parallel with my fight against climate change,” Sinervo says.

The best way he can describe it is overcoming post-traumatic stress. Virtually everyone is likely to encounter cancer in some way— if not personally, then through someone they know.

“Everybody will be touched by it, and we do everything we can,” he says. Climate change is like that. It will affect everybody on the planet

personally.”

Sinervo points to examples like mountainous areas of El Salvador and Guatemala that have been ravaged by drought and intense heat, making it impossible to grow food, and contributing to the migration crisis on the southern U.S. border. California is seeing more frequent deadly wildfires fueled by hotter, drier conditions.

As for Santa Cruz, Sinervo’s heat maps show that species like the desert tortoise that currently live in the Mojave Desert are moving toward the coast as temperatures rise, raising big questions about this region’s famous agriculture industry.

Sinervo has also started to wade deeper into public policy discussions about reforestation, habitat preservation and other ways to potentially reverse the impacts of climate change. At the same time, his colleagues watching the shoreline warn that it’s time to

<24 talk about a point of no return with erosion that threatens coastal homes and infrastructure.

Griggs is part of a team of engineers, economists and geologists hired by the city of Santa Cruz to put together a plan for what to do about West Cliff Drive and its recurring sinkholes. At the county level, a first-of-its kind coastal armoring program is being discussed to set new rules for building seawalls, which studies have shown would likely erode public beaches and impact surf breaks. The alternative is retreating from coastal property—a prospect that could require buyout programs or changes in how climate risk is priced into homeowner’s insurance—which is set to be debated as soon as this fall at the county Board of Supervisors.

“When do we pull the plug?

It’s going to be different for the public infrastructure than private residences,” Griggs says. “Every decision that gets made is going to have a huge impact on all these other parts of the puzzle.”

In the process, Griggs says it’s entirely possible that scientists like Sinervo will find themselves at odds over habitat conservation with property owners inclined to dig in their heels and protect their homes or investments. That’s to be expected, Sinervo says.

“We will need government to impose all these things. This is not a moral call. Some people are just more selfish than others, and they won’t do it. Others will,” he says.

“I work on the equations for why we behave the way we behave, and I understand it. It’s the way we evolved.”

Sinervo worked all the way up until his surgery at Stanford in 2017, when Miles was at the hospital with his wife, who is a psychotherapist.

When Sinervo was undergoing radiation therapy, he began work on another paper.

“Barry is not the person who gives up,” Miles says.

NEW NORMAL In January, Sinervo made it to the last destination on the worldwide

extinction tour he started before his cancer diagnosis. The findings were brutal. Sinervo’s equation had successfully predicted a 60,000-square-mile extinction zone in the Kalahari desert in Southern Africa.

“That one’s mind-blowing,” he says, scrolling through heat maps on his laptop at UCSC. “This is scary shit. I get afraid sometimes of my own work.”

Sinervo is different now than he was before his battle with cancer.

In his 2015 TED Talk, he came off as a quintessential dad-academic in khakis and a lime-green button up.

He spoke in a measured tone, and occasionally peppered in PG-rated phrases like, “The world is going to hell in a handbasket.” This spring, he took it up a notch with a stand-up cameo in comedian Shane Mauss’ science-themed show at DNA’s Comedy Lab in downtown Santa Cruz.

“I’m going to try to inject a little levity into this. Not much,” Sinervo quipped in a voice that post-surgery has taken on a more nasally, slightly artificial quality. “We’re talking about a fucking mass extinction.”

His participation in Mauss’ show was part of Sinervo’s new focus on communicating what he’s learning to a wider audience, partly out of a desire to compel people to get serious about cutting red meat out of their diets, buying local and reducing consumption—specific ways to significantly reduce environmental impact, rather than vague hysteria about climate change. But the standup gig and efforts like the Twitter feed where he often calls out his students (#SciencePadwans and #ScienceJedis) is also a logistical necessity.

“I can’t tweet about this fast enough, let alone write papers,” he says.

Sinervo’s curly brown hair has gone gray, lending a mad scientist vibe that’s amplified when he wears goggles to protect his left eye, which has remained closed since the surgery. It all fits when you walk into his small, second-floor office and see a series of incomprehensible equations scribbled on a white

LIZARD VISION <26 board—Sinervo’s working formulas to predict extinction anywhere in the world.

“I’m trying to make it as simple as possible,” he says of the horseshoes and commas and other symbols that denote variables like population growth and species interactions.

A natural teacher happy to explain any of his dozens of papers, there’s just one type of question that visibly irritates Sinervo, and that’s whether this issue can be dealt with, as many climate-change skeptics suggest, 20 years from now, or maybe 50? After 2100?

“It’s now. That’s what my work is showing,” Sinervo says. “It’s now.

It’s now.”

The combination of Sinervo’s unique style and his research credentials have attracted a new generation of climate-conscious acolytes to the lab at UCSC. “Barry is sort of like the climate change guru when it comes to lizards,” says Pauline Blaimont, a 28-year-old recent grad of UCSC’s evolutionary biology doctoral program. With Sinervo’s help, she spent several summers studying how lizards in the Pyrenees mountains are (or aren’t) adapting to hotter conditions.

Blaimont, who is from Southern California, has always been into animals. Lizards are perfect for studying climate change, she says, since they’re exothermic, regulating body temperature by directly basking in the sun. When it’s too hot, they spend more time in the shade—allowing less time to hunt insects—and see reduced levels of physical activity until they ultimately must migrate or face extinction. Since they’re low on the food chain, what happens to lizards also has ripple effects for the birds, snakes and mammals that eat them.

Like Sinervo, Blaimont says research has bled into her personal life. She and her partner do Meatless Mondays, and she has distilled her advice to others into one directive: “Reduce, reuse, recycle, but in that order.”

Students in Sinervo’s lab are currently studying on-the-ground

adaptations to climate change, like how “moms reprogram their babies for the future” by passing on altered hormones or genes.

Sinervo, who is currently most enthusiastic about reforesting the Amazon, acknowledges that his efforts to “normalize” extinction through comedy, social media and other channels is “more on the edge” in the world of buttoned-up climate scientists. It makes sense, since his research has always been kind of unusual.

His collaborator Miles says that looking at the bright side is really the only option. Reached while on a research trip in France during another intense heat wave last month, he was enthusiastic about Germany’s efforts to cut coal-fired electricity and ramp up renewable energy. In the U.S., a wave of young, insurgent left-wing politicians are also raising the profile of a “New Green Deal” or similar drastic shift away from fossil fuels.

“Species can recover,” Miles says.

Sinervo harkens back to his first job as a lumberjack cutting down trees in Canada with his brothers (one of whom, Pekka, is also a first-generation college graduate and physicist who studies the Higgs boson, or “God particle,” often described as a fundamental building block of the universe). He remembers a day when he was 16 and had to cut down an old-growth balsam tree. He started to consider the equilibrium between nature and human livelihood. “I went, ‘Wow, I’m gonna change things when I get older,’” Sinervo says.

He sees the global mobilization to close the ozone hole by slashing the use of man-made chemicals is a prime example of humanity’s capacity to confront existential threats. Until then, he’ll be doing whatever he can to get other people to join him.

“It’s the end of the world as we know it,” Sinervo sang at his recent comedy debut, channeling R.E.M., “and I feel fine.”

Cabrillo Stage’s ‘Beehive’ is a timely, energetic jukebox of ’60s music BY LISA JENSEN

HOT TICKET

anthems on the soundtrack of The Last Black Man In San Francisco, along comes the Cabrillo Stage season opener Beehive. Subtitled “The ’60s Musical,” the name suggests an homage to the girl groups of that era, which is certainly a major part

of the show, especially in its first half. But Beehive also aspires to celebrate a diverse slate of women rockers, from Connie Francis to Aretha to Janis Joplin.

The show was created in 1985 by Larry Gallagher as a nightclub revue,

which explains why it’s a bit short on book. When the performers talk onstage, it’s usually in brief snippets of narration setting up the context in which the playlist unspools—over 30 tunes performed with gusto by the six-woman cast. >32

The show was created in 1985 as a nightclub revue, which explains why it’s a bit short on book. When the performers talk onstage, it’s usually in brief snippets of narration setting up the context in which the playlist unspools—over 30 tunes performed with gusto by the six-woman cast. <30 Director Gary John La Rosa also did the choreography, from demure girl-group syncopation to the buttshaking gymnastics of Tina Turner.

Skip Epperson’s single, functional set consists of vinyl-inspired discs in all colors hanging down from the rafters, and a large round portal draped in shiny fringe through which the performers enter and exit. A six-piece combo appears on a balcony upstage, led by Musical Director Jon Nordgren. The effect is like a giant, sparkly jukebox with live performers providing your hit parade—no quarters necessary.

The show’s first act is structured more or less chronologically, according to musical style—girl groups to Motown to British Invasion. (And kudos to the show’s creators for including three numbers by the wonderful Dusty Springfield in the latter section.) In the more focused second act, individual performers deliver mini-tribute concerts as some of the era’s most iconic artists. Standouts include Kiana Hamzehi’s dazzling Tina Turner, Jennifer Taylor Daniels’ dynamic Aretha Franklin (Daniels also serves as emcee), and Lindsey Chester’s knockout Janis Joplin. (It’s a shame that the tribute to Janis at the Monterey Pop Festival doesn’t include “Ball and Chain.” Maybe they didn’t think it was poppy enough?)

Jessica Pierini delivers the show’s most poignant solo with Janis Ian’s “Society’s Child.” But her outfit (saddle shoes, Catholic school plaid skirt and enormous Minnie Mouse hair bow) doesn’t fit Ian herself, or the era in which the song was

written. Another weird disconnect between the costumes and the material is the opening sequence: it’s set squarely in the beehive era (1960-1963), yet costume designer Maria Crush puts the women in dropped-waist dresses and kneehigh white vinyl boots from about mid-decade. Shiboune Thill’s wigs tend toward fluffy, Dr. Seussian extravagance, but there’s not a beehive hairdo in the bunch.

It’s also iffy, later on, to present one of the backup singers in “Abraham, Martin, and John” in Carnaby Street garb when the show doesn’t get to the British Invasion until the following segment (although color-blocked Mondrian dresses and hairstyles are perfect in that subsequent sequence). This all may seem nitpicky, but to anyone who actually lived through the ’60s (ahem), there were very distinct fashion trends between one year and the next, which are not always reflected here.

Still, this is a buoyant show, especially for anyone who grew up singing these songs. Sadie Rose and Catarina Contini round out the performing cast. (Among other things, they dance a high-octane version of the Ikettes behind Hamzehi’s Tina.) And all of these women can sing up a storm. Should you feel compelled to join in (and believe me, you will), audience participation is strongly encouraged.

The Cabrillo Stage production of ‘Beehive’ plays through Sunday, July 14, at the Crocker Theater. 479-6154, cabrillostage.com.

MUSIC

BON MEASURE Cate Le Bon performs at Moe’s Alley on Sunday, July 7.

Built to Last How making furniture saved Cate Le Bon’s music BY MIKE HUGUENOR She enrolled in a course with Waters and Acland, a renowned furniture-making school in England’s Lake District. For the past few years, she had been living in L.A. In order to take the course, she declined all tour offers for a year, and relocated to a cottage in a national park near the Scottish border. Population: 40,000.

Alone more often than not, Le Bon carved and lathed during the day. At night, back at the cottage, she sat at the piano. With no other musicians around, and no album or tour in sight, music became a hobby again.

“It was like being a child again, where you would go and sit and write on mum and dad’s piano,

without caring if the chords made sense,” she says. “It’s reaching that point where you allow yourself to be completely uninhibited. The piano really lends itself to getting lost in an emotion.”

Slowly, songs materialized. Le Bon says it was like writing without “the awareness of writing.”

“It’s something you’re using as a way to release something, instead of sitting at a guitar and going, ‘I have to write a record this week.’”

The result, Reward, which came out this May, is the soundtrack to her time in the Lakes. It is also one of the best albums this year, an avant-pop gem that is only oblique when necessary,

Cate Le Bon performs at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 7, at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$20 door. 479-1854.

C

ate Le Bon was caught in a loop. For the better part of a decade, the Welsh musician had been recording, touring, recording, and then touring again in an endlessly repeating pattern. She had put out four transfixingly weird avant-pop albums.

Though she wasn’t a household name, she had made fans out of St. Vincent, John Cale and Jeff Tweedy.

But in 2017, she decided she wanted to make furniture.

“It felt like I needed to check my motives, how invested I was, and re-prioritize things,” she says. “I didn’t comprehend that I was changing the whole architecture of my life.”

and sinks in on repeat listens.

Opening with the dreamy, tidal rhythm of “Miami,” Reward eases in. On the next track, Le Bon goes straight for the heart.

“I love you, I love you, I love you, but you’re not here,” she sings on the chorus of “Daylight Matters.” “I love you, I love you, I love you, but you’re gone.”

With its subdued piano and Twin Peaks-esque guitar work, “Daylight Matters” is like a reflection on air.

Before each verse, a ragged synth passes through the song like wind through a copse of trees, followed by a guitar section crisp as morning air.

For a career with many high points, “Daylight Matters” is up there.

In a powerful one-two punch, “Home to You” follows. It’s a meditation on life in the margins, alternately comparing home to “an impasse,” “an atrocity” and a “cross hair, stubborn, dream loving.”

The video for “Home to You” explores Le Bon’s lyrics in striking fashion. Shot in a Roma neighborhood of Slovakia where unemployment nears 100%, the video features local teens, tenement dwellers and a community band, highlighting small moments of joy and community against an often-stark backdrop.

“The politics of division are absolutely rife at the moment,” Le Bon says of the video. “It’s impossible to comprehend what it is to be completely stripped of your basic human necessities. You can’t comprehend, but you can look, and you can care.”

Whether she’s putting together a song, a performance or a chair, Le Bon approaches them all with that same philosophy. Though her course is now over, she plans to continue making furniture. It’s an art that is now as much a part of her as music.

“I find it really nourishing,” she says. “It completely erodes any sense of time existing, which I really love. You sit with a piece of wood, and you slowly transform it into something you’ve designed. It’s very intimate, and it’s very personal.”

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND RA-BE 333

In 2013, when RA-BE 33 (aka Rob) moved to Santa Cruz, he decided it was time to get serious about rapping.

Originally from New Jersey, he’d rapped plenty, but he always treated it like a hobby.

JULY 3-9, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Once here, though, he hit the ground running. Since 2014, he’s released five mixtapes, and in June, he released his first official EP, Write of Passage. The five original songs were produced by Resonant Sun with extra support from Dropical. He also brought in three local female singers, Marya Stark, Carmen “Mama” Crow and Gina Rene.

“I love the sound of a female voice,” Rob says. “It really brings a good counter-element, and a more full dynamic sound.”

Rob’s sound is a hybrid of classic hip-hop beats, trap, bass, and a hint of world beat. The back and forth of his lyrical verses with the singers’ soulfully ethereal vocals creates a hypnotic element in the music.

“It’s about me breaking through the threshold of my creative edge as a writer, as an emcee and as a musician,” he says of the new release.

“Really stepping into my most powerful role as a creator, and walking through my own hero’s journey in the process.” AARON CARNES rabe333.com.

RISING APPALACHIA

WEDNESDAY 7/3 GOSPEL

PAUL THORN Paul Thorn has been releasing exceptional American roots records for two decades, sampling elements of the blues, southern rock and R&B. Within all his music, there always permeated a deep spirituality and affinity for classic gospel music. This was the music of his childhood, after all; a preacher’s son, he would frequent black churches in Tupelo, Mississippi, and felt the power of gospel. On his most recent record, Don’t Let The Devil Ride, he goes all in on his gospel roots. A highlight on the record is the slowed-down cover of the O’Jays’ “Love Train.” AC 8 p.m. Felton Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $25. 704-7113.

METAL

ASEPTIC The grimy, visceral sound of this twopiece death metal band from San Jose has been giving listeners brain melts since 2014, with the duo releasing their Senses Decay EP last December.

Before you celebrate America, make

sure to raise hell the night before at the Blue Lagoon for the Summer of Suffering Tour, as they’re joined by local favorite heshers Zombie Ritual, along with Depraver, Sacred Origin, Disciples of Death, and Eskupe. MAT WEIR 8 p.m. Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

FRIDAY 7/5 BLUEGRASS

RISING APPALACHIA “Folksy” and “worldly” are usually used in opposition, as though “folk” somehow exceeds the category of Earth. But for Leah and Chloe Smith, this is a false distinction. Incorporating ragas, Celtic drums and West African strings, the sisters in Rising Appalachia aim for a kind of world bluegrass, Appalachian in spirit and harmony rather than in location or dogma. The Smith sisters seek out the subterranean roots connecting folk music of all cultures, voicing them in plucked strings and two-part harmony. MIKE HUGUENOR 8 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $37. 423-8209.

INDIE

HAND HABITS Hand Habits has a preoccupation with spaces: both those between other people, and the ones within. Not only do the band’s lusciously languid and gently alt musical arrangements confer a sense of movement, but the lyrics also explore every nook and cranny of relational perspectives, as if relationships are magnetic and atmospheric. Band leader Meg Duffy plays a sweet guitar and croons generously heartfelt melodies, making what would be heady, abstract ruminations more emotive, tender and anchored to real life. AMY BEE 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15 adv/$17 door. 429-6994.

SATURDAY 7/6 PUNK

DIEGO’S UMBRELLA The members of Diego’s Umbrella are shameless rock ‘n’ rollers who love to utilize the meatiest power chords to beef up their high-energy punk songs.

They also mix elements of Eastern

BE OUR GUEST TOOTS AND THE MAYTALS

PAUL THORN

European dance music, Flamenco, klezmer, and ska. What do you call this jumble of influences? Who knows! It’s probably best to refer to it as “sweaty dance music,” the kind you line up for holding hands and kicking up your feet in joy, only to break out into a fullfledged mosh pit once the punk-rock guitars kick in.

SUNDAY 7/7 CELTIC

OLD BLIND DOGS

9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12 adv/$15 door. 479-1854.

Scottish quartet Old Blind Dogs has been keeping Celtic folk traditions alive and well since 1990, but still blends in its signature twist of blues, jazz and funk, and has remained one of Scotland’s favorite groups. MW

COMEDY

7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22 adv/$25 door. 427-2227.

Self-described “weak little nerd” Mekki Leeper made his late-night stand-up debut on the Late Late Show this January. Despite his milquetoast appearance, Leeper made a strong impression, riffing on his parent’s late divorce (“I’m sorry I wasn’t able to ruin my parents’ marriage as fast as you were able to”), and his interfaith upbringing in Morocco.

And while you might not know him yet, you’ve likely heard his jokes— he wrote for the 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner with Hasan Minhaj. MH 7 and 9:30 p.m. DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 S River St., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$25 door.

MONDAY 7/8 AMERICANA

THE HA! The Ha! plays Americana suffused with beach-bum surf hues and shades of coastal funk. It’s like a traveling seaside bonfire gathering—armed with upbeat tempos and bluesy harmonicas, looking for any excuse to make merry. In fact, The Ha! has found the perfect occasion to carouse via “Party with Purpose” tours, which raise funds for local nonprofit charities and encourage community get-togethers with live music. The mixture of good-time party music and good ol’ fashioned grassroots

WORLD

THE TURBANS The origins of the Turbans can be traced back to Kathmandu, where guitarist Oshan Mahony’s chance encounter with fellow Anglo-Iranian violinist Darius Luke Thompson led to a fast friendship and extended busking sojourn around India. Back in the U.K., the band gradually honed a global sound reflecting an international cast of players. With an eponymous debut album on San Francisco’s Six Degrees Records, The Turbans tour as a septet featuring vocalist and guitarist Miroslav Morski, Greek vocalist Pavlos Mavromatakis, Israeli guitarist Moshe Zehavi, Belarus-born oud player Maxim Shchedrovitzki, and classical guitarist Pablo Dominguez. Building grooves rather than walls, the Turbans create dance music for the human race. ANDREW GILBERT 7:30 p.m. Michael’s On Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $10 adv/$12 door. 479-9777.

philanthropy makes for one hell of a jubilee. AB

Toots Hibbert is a living reggae legend.

His group the Maytals, have been performing since the early ’60s, when all the Jamaican groups were writing bouncy ska tunes. Hibbert also has the distinct honor of coining the term “reggae” in his 1968 single “Do The Reggay.” The Maytals have classic genre-defining songs over several decades of Jamaican music. His early reggae song “Pressure Drop” is arguably one of the genre’s best, most memorable tunes to this day.

FILM

MAGICAL MYSTERY FAKER Himesh Patel in Danny Boyle’s ‘Yesterday.’

Delete the Beatles JULY 3-9, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Band erased from history in sly ‘Yesterday’ BY LISA JENSEN

52

I

magine if the Beatles had never existed. It was devastating enough for me as a teenager when the band broke up. How could life as we know it go on? If there had never been any Beatles, I rationalized grimly, at least we wouldn’t know what we’d missed.

In his audacious new movie Yesterday, director Danny Boyle poses an even gnarlier idea: suppose the Beatles had existed, and enjoyed their incredible nine years of productivity together—but then suddenly disappeared from the collective memory of basically everyone on Earth? Everyone but one guy. Imagine the potential for comedy (not to mention plunder and exploitation)

if that guy were a struggling singersongwriter 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 genrebouncing Boyle, Yesterday is a sly, persuasive morality play about the wages and nature of success dressed up as a pop-cultural comedy. It’s also entertaining as hell, especially for those of us who do remember the Beatles, thank you very much, and will appreciate every in-joke, downbeat, and audio/visual cue Boyle employs with such shameless

glee throughout his tall tale.

Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) is marginally employed as a stock clerk at a big-box warehouse store in his native Suffolk, England. But he lives to sing and play guitar at neighborhood pubs and sparsely attended local festivals, gigs arranged by his self-appointed manager, Ellie (Lily James), his longtime best friend and most ardent cheerleader.

On the night Jack is ready to give up on his dream, his bike is clipped by a bus. After he wakes up in the hospital, minus a couple of broken teeth, everything is the same—except that when he plays “Yesterday” on the new guitar Ellie buys him, no one has ever heard of the song before.

Or of Paul McCartney. Sure enough, when he rushes home and Googles “Beatles,” all that comes up are pictures of shiny black insects.

Apparently a 12-second global blackout has shifted Jack into an alternate reality where his friends, family, life, and culture are the same (except for a few other random omissions that are some of the movie’s funniest throwaway jokes). But despite his initial protests that the music is not his, when he switches his playlist to Beatle songs, acclaim follows. His video on the warehouse company channel goes viral. Ed Sheeran (playing himself) pops round to take him on tour to Moscow (guess which song is a big hit there). A slinky, shamelessly craven L.A. agent (the hilariously acerbic Kate McKinnon) lands Jack a deal with a ginormous record label. (When he tries to sneak one of his own original songs into the session, she airily decrees it “Simple, without being charming.”)

The tension between how much Jack is willing to sacrifice of himself for the fame he thinks he wants gives the story depth. Meanwhile Boyle riffs cheerfully on Beatles iconography. The band’s career stages are cleverly referenced in Jack’s early black-and-white promo stills, skinny suits and later Help-era turtleneck. During the slo-mo bus impact, the music swells in an eerie remix of those closing notes from “A Day In The Life.”

Boyle also fools around with the notion that even the most celebrated legacy suffers when separated from its context. People keep trying to “improve” the song lyrics (“Hey Dude,” anyone?) or Jack’s Beatlesinspired suggestions for album titles.

When someone asks him what “a hard day’s night,” actually means, Jack doesn’t know.

Patel is wholly engaging as the conflicted Jack. James is both radiant and playful, and Joel Fry is excellent as an embarrassingly clueless buddy who achieves maturity on the road with Jack. And a lovely what-if scene toward the end ties it all up on an irresistible grace note.

YESTERDAY **** (out of four) With Himesh Patel and Lily James. Written by Richard Curtis. Directed by Danny Boyle. A Universal release. Rated PG-13. 117 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES THE FALL OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE I remember me and my filmnerd friends being totally scandalized by director Denys Arcand’s 1986 film The Decline of the American Empire on a 9th-grade movie night—oh, the days of lax parental supervision!

He made a sequel to that non-stop debauchery fest (at least, that’s how I remember it) with 2003’s The Barbarian Invasions. The title of his newest film would seem to suggest it rounds out a trilogy, but it’s not a direct continuation of the previous stories—though his recent comments comparing President Donald Trump to the Roman Emperor Caligula suggest he might still be thinking along the same lines. Call me crazy!

Whatever point he’s itching to make, he’s framed it this time in a crime thriller about a man who happens upon bags of money abandoned after an armed robbery. Starring Maxim Roy, Yan England and Remy Girard.

(R) 127 minutes. (SP)

JULY 3-9, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

MIDSOMMAR The trailers for this latest horror flick from Hereditary director Ari Aster make it look like the spiritual follow-up to 1973’s The Wicker Man (not the horrible remake with Nicholas Cage). And god knows we’re long overdue for a good ol’ fashioned movie about murderous pagan cults! Midsommar finds one in Sweden, where a young couple travels to an idyllic small town to be part of its mid-summer festival. (R) 140 minutes. (SP)

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Spider-Man, Spider-Man/Der ner neer, it’s Spider-Man/He gets a film, like every year/They’re basically all the same/Except for the Spider-verse one!/That one was really good!/ Spider-Man, Spider-Man/I don’t think I’m even following the tune of SpiderMan/But anyway, he goes to Europe/ That’s far from New York, thus the title/Jake Gyllenhaal is the bad guy/ Trying to spell his name makes me a sad guy/But I have to,‘cause he’s fighting Spider-Man! Directed by John Watts. Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jake Gyllenhaal. (PG-13) 129 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 different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups.google.com/group/ LTATM.

NOW PLAYING ANNABELLE COMES HOME OK, whoa, enough with the doll movies already. No more killer robot Chuckys, puppets, ventriloquist dummies, action figures, or sporks that come to life, either. I’m done with the whole damn garage-sale lot of them. It might be different if even one of these Annabelle movies spun off from the “Conjuring Universe”—featuring an evil doll that gets passed around like Advil at a bell-ringing convention— had been good. But in fact, they seem to be getting progressively worse as they swerve from original timeline to prequel to sequel. From now on, I’ll get all of my wooden acting from Vin Diesel, thank you very much! Directed

by Gary Dauberman. Starring Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson and McKenna Grace. (R) 106 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) BOOKSMART Actress Olivia Wilde directed this comedy about two straight-A high school students who try to cram all of the fun they missed into one night before graduation.

Starring Kaitlyn Dever, Beanie Feldstein, Lisa Kudrow, and Jason Sudeikis. (R) 102 minutes. (SP) CHILD’S PLAY My favorite quote about Child’s Play came years ago, when Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame explained exactly why Chucky is not the least bit terrifying: “It’s a

doll. Kick it.” Kick it, indeed! There has never been anything even remotely scary about this particular horror franchise, but you have to give credit to series creator Don Mancini for realizing that (even if it took three movies) and taking his killer-doll concept in a whole new comedic, selfreferential and really weird direction with Bride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky and so on. This reboot is the first Chucky film Mancini isn’t involved with, and the new producers have turned it into a very serious sci-fi thing where the doll’s AI goes haywire. Wait, are you telling me I should be wary of technology? OMG this is just like that show about the mirrors that are black! I have an idea for that show: Hollywood studio executives become sentient and … OK, you’re right, that’s too ridiculous even for sci-fi. Directed

by Lars Klevberg. Starring Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman and the voice of Mark Hamill as Chucky (!) (R) 90 minutes. (SP) THE DEAD DON’T DIE In some circles, the words “Jim Jarmusch zombie comedy” are all you’d need to sell a movie. Especially when the cast includes Jarmusch stock company stalwarts like Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Steve Buscemi, Tilda Swinton, Iggy Pop, Carol Kane and Tom Waits. But while it looks promising on paper, the onscreen result could use some more brains. It would be shameless punning to employ words like “stilted” and “catatonic” to describe a movie about reanimated dead people. (That’s the point, right?) Everybody involved certainly seems to be having a swell time. But the audience, not so much, as they endure long stretches of ennui between unsubtle moments that drive home the message, and namethat-zombie celebrity-spotting. (R) 104 minutes. (LJ) ECHO IN THE CANYON With Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood coming out next 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) LATE NIGHT Mindy Kaling plays an untested would-be comic hired by a failing late-night talk show to keep it from being cancelled, with Emma Thompson as the longtime host who is initially resistant to change. (R) 102 minutes. (SP) MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL The Men in Black franchise is 20 years old, and there’s definitely something a little squickier in 2019 about its premise of immigrant hunters with big guns as cool heroes. What’s the over/under on how many big things will turn out to be run by tiny aliens inside it? 11? 25? 38? I feel that these are all good guesses. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are long gone, but we do have the reteaming of Thor: Ragnarok’s Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson leaving behind the NYC branch of the organization that polices “illegal aliens” (har, har) for London. Directed by F. Gary Gray.

Co-starring Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson and Rebecca Ferguson.

(PG-13) 115 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) THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2 The same crew of voice actors returns for another animated adventure that reveals what your pet is doing when you’re not around. Well, not your pet specifically. Your pet is kind of boring.

Featuring the voices of Patton Oswalt, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, and Lake Bell. (PG) 86 minutes. (SP) SHAFT What's the blaxploitation series from the ’70s that won’t stop making sequels even though everybody forgot about it? (Shaft!)

Right on. They say this cat Samuel L. Jackson is a bad mother- (Shut your mouth!) But I’m talkin’ about Samuel L. Jackson in Shaft sequels!

(Then we can dig it!) He’s totally fun to watchhhh, and now in this one he has his dad played by the original Shaft Richard Roundtree, and also a sonnn (John Shaft Junior!). You’re damnnnn right. Directed by Tim Story.

Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Richard Roundtree and Jessie T. Usher. (R) (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 Reviewed this issue.

(PG-13) 116 minutes.

Revisiting downtown institution Cafe Delmarette BY CHRISTINA WATERS

T

he Delmarette was an institution when my mother was a girl, one of those classic lunch counter soda fountain places run by sturdy women in aprons who called you “Hon.” Despite multiple transformations—and one big earthquake—this tiny landmark continues to serve honest, delicious breakfast and lunch items to a multi-generational clientele.

I love this place, and when a chef with three Michelin stars reminded me that this is one of the best espresso places in town, I took the hint. Laid back yet can-do, today’s closet-sized Delmarette is

stacked to the rafters with artwork, chalkboards, bags of coffee beans, and adorned by wooden tables, chairs and one long bench that reminds me of grade school furniture somewhere in the 1960s. The city rolls by and the Del Mar theatre marquees keeps watch over a trio of serene staffers who thoughtfully prepare, and personally serve, every single item.

I was presented with an impeccably designed double macchiato (beans from Cat & Cloud, $3) that sipped rich, rounded and buttery, but not bitter. David was right. And from the all-star list of “Famous Toasted Sandwiches,” I went for the headliner, Rita’s Breakfast Sandwich

($8.50). Awaiting my main dish, I noted that Delmarette offers a choice of exotic iced teas made of hibiscus, passionfruit-jasmine, and caramelized pear. You can select your favorite milk from among hemp, almond, soy, coconut, and two organic cow’s milks.

I used to tease my students when they told me their favorite Santa Cruz food was the rococo California Burrito. They would laugh if they could see me noshing on this overthe-top house special. Rita’s is a culinary study in grilled layers: herb-laced frittata, roasted potatoes, aioli, and white cheddar cheese were all pressed together into a glorious

It’s peak season for morning feasts to complement the experience of shopping for ultra-fresh produce at our various neighborhood markets.

While you need to know that the two breakfasts scheduled for July at the Santa Cruz farmers’ market are already sold out, you can still jump in for your place at the Aug. 10 table with Chef Katherine Stern (of La Posta fame), who will be cooking up tomato and roasted corn salad, Fogline Farm pork loin, grilled little gems, marinated rock cod, potato biscuits, and lemon verbena-poached peaches with raspberry fool, all accompanied by 11th Hour coffee. Don’t miss this! santacruzfarmersmarket.org. $45.

Burn Hot Sauce. PHOTO: COURTESY OF BURN

Burn Hot Sauce Spicing up the Westside BY SUSAN LANDRY

W

What is lacto-fermentation?

AMANDA: Lacto-fermentation is when you preserve fruits or vegetables in a saltwater solution.

What’s happening is you’re creating a good environment for the wild yeasts to produce probiotic bacteria … You get an acidity, a complexity, that is amazing.

Do you have a favorite pepper?

CHASE: It’s kind of like choosing your favorite song. It depends on where you are and why. If I was on a beach in Mexico, I’d love to listen

to Bob Marley and eat some tacos with some serrano or habanero-bell.

But if I’m on a mountain in Colorado in January and just got done snowboarding, I think I’m gonna have something more complex and relaxed. I think a bulgarian carrot pepper or even our Thai BirdJalapeño.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve put Burn Hot Sauce on?

CHASE: You know when you bite into a strawberry it has that perfect little hollow cup in it? Filling that little void with habanero bell or Cyklon, which is a mild sauce we make, it’s surprisingly really good.

What are you looking forward to with this new Westside space?

AMANDA: We’re really grateful for all of the kitchens we’ve worked in, but finally being able to build the kitchen of our dreams to do what we need to do is super exciting. It means that we can do more things like cooking classes, pop-up dinners and even more farmers’ market food pop-ups.

y Wild Wine Women group recently took a tour of Storrs Winery hosted

by Pamela and Steve Storrs, winemakers extraordinaire. Their organic estate vineyard, called Hidden Springs, is a bucolic haven that produces excellent Chardonnay.

Aiming to stay in line with nature, a flock of Olde English Babydoll sheep are brought in during the winter months to graze the vineyards and promote a balanced, self-sustaining system. Though more costly and labor-intensive for the couple, there are “intangible benefits,” such as birds returning in droves.

In the welcoming tasting room, we enjoy lunch with a selection of Storrs’ wines. On this particular warm day, I gravitate toward a beautiful Gewürztraminer 2016 ($20), made with grapes from Viento Vineyard in Monterey. Complex notes of lychee nut, honeysuckle and spice are revealed in this treasure trove of aroma and flavor. Made in the traditional Alsatian style, this wine is just what Gewürztraminer 2016 should be, the Storrs say of their aromatic elixir. Full of floral and fruit notes, it’s a delightful wine for summer.

Storrs has been around since their first harvest of 1988, and they are well-established on the local wine scene and beyond. Their wines can be found at many restaurants, liquor stores and supermarkets, but head to their tasting room for the lovely experience of trying them all.

Open weekends at Storrs Winery and Vineyards, 1560 Pleasant Valley Rd., Aptos. 724-5030; Open daily at 303 Potrero St. #35, Santa Cruz. 458-5030, storrswine.com.

WINE COMING TO SOUTH POINT South Point coffee shop (which used to be called Full of Beans, then Ground Control) recently opened in Seascape Village with new proprietors at the helm, Isaac Dawid and Teresa Lopez-Dawid. Open for business but still working on remodeling the interior, the good news is that they will soon serve wine and beer as well as coffee. It promises to be an upbeat, go-to spot. Pastries are from Flour & Love Bakery and Kelly’s French Bakery in Santa Cruz.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES Thursday, July 4, is the 243rd birthday of the U.S. Founded under the liberating sign of Cancer and Rays 3 and 7, it is from the U.S. that the light of intelligence, freedom and new rhythms are anchored for the world. Cancer and her Rays create a mass movement towards liberty, freedom and a release from the past, producing the illuminating light of the mind (Ray 3, intelligence in action) and influence the demand for freedom. Astrology tells us the timing of events, and why events occur, giving us understanding of their purpose. Just prior to the U.S. birthday, we had a new moon solar eclipse (Tuesday). Eclipses bring an end to both inner (solar eclipse) and outer (lunar eclipse) realities. Eclipses remove obstacles to the new incoming energies.

The world (all endeavors of humanity,

including our material possessions, finances, basic supplies, social realities, etc.) as we have known it is rapidly disappearing (evolving, moving upward toward, ascending), so the new era (Aquarius) can emerge. This new era is based on what we are able (through visualization and imagination) to create. Many of us are being “impressed” (from the hierarchy) with visions that create the first stages of the new era. These form the foundation of the new materiality based upon spiritual principles.

Humanity is also being impressed with an urge for community (of which Findhorn, Ray 7, is the template). There are seers everywhere assisting humanity in understanding the reality behind the present chaos and breakdown, informing us of what’s to come and how to prepare.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Your task in the upcoming times is to ponder deeply upon and help initiate the new culture and civilization; create communities that sustain large groups of people, and gather groups of like-minds together to follow the initiating steps you will have created. You will then hand the tasks over to those who can build and sustain your ideas. You must understand the importance of this work.

You are, on spiritual levels, Mercury, Ray 4.

You are to bring forth justice, which allows Lady Justice (holding the scales and blindfolded) to see. You will work with Gemini and Cancer creating new resources for the economic stability that humanity will need after the old economic structures dissolve. You are to help humanity understand their new identity and create new relationships where none existed.

You lead in establishing Right Human Relations. You are Uranus, Ray 7, where the new culture and civilization originates.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

What others (only a few) have initiated in creating the new world, you are to study, refine and essentially stabilize.

You will know when to present and offer these ideas to the larger world of mass humanity after you have experimented with them yourself and within your small group. You are to sustain the new reality and prepare for seven generations to come. You are Vulcan, Ray 1, fashioning humanity’s personality into a chalice of gold.

Your task is to pass the nine tests of Mars—to realize you’re in a constant cycle of life, death, regeneration, and transformation.

You’re to become the disciple and study the ancient wisdom teachings (its foundation is astrology). You then can prepare the Pathway of Light for the upcoming changes that will at first distress and then regenerate suffering humanity. You will be one of the teachers during the upcoming upheaval. You are Mars, Ray 6, riding a white horse.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

You are to learn the new era information, which is astrology and life-giving principles for the new age— ideas most are unaware of yet. Humanity, in the very near future, will be searching for them. You—brilliant, mercurial and always curious—are to be the first to incorporate these principles into your life and then write about and distribute them. You are to summon patience, intelligence, scientific thought, and love. You are Venus, Ray 5—intelligent love radiating unity.

You are to lead the way by offering new goals to humanity, goals that move us toward a sharing society, and no longer a society where every individual is recreating their own wheel. You’re to study ancient philosophies, preparing to be the professor to those seeking new ways of thinking that create the new culture and civilization.

You need education in these things yourself. How will you learn? You are Earth, Ray 3, emitting divine intelligence.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 3, 2019

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

You know how to climb mountains. The Constitution of Man (graph) is a mountain. Biblically, it’s Jacob’s Ladder, where Jacob saw angels climbing up (toward spirit) and down (into matter). Humanity has been in matter for 18 million years, and it’s time to begin the ascent out of matter toward spirit. You will teach humanity the appropriate shoes to climb the mountain, become the Initiate (after discipleship) and how to reach for the sun. You are a unicorn working with Saturn, Ray 3.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

You are to become creative with the new information, seeking ways that assist the “kingdoms.” You are the leader, a king or queen. People listen to you because you hold magnetism from the heart of the Sun. The new sustaining projects you assume will create greater self-identity, but only if you lovingly offer your gifts to the group called humanity, the world disciple. You are the Sun, Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom.

Your tasks, future-oriented yet for right here right now, are many. You are to build us a spaceship and geodesic domes, aquaculture environments to grow fish and vegetables. You are to create community, the natural, balanced organic garden environments for the future. Places where humanity will need to live. You are to gather bicycles for everyone, create an Aquarian radio show and offer yourself as everyone’s friend. You are Jupiter, Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Gestating and hidden within you is always a new state of consciousness. You are to study gardens, edible and medicinal ones. And concentrate on the new materiality emerging. It will be your task to organize in detail the new cooperative structures for humanity. The time is not yet. But soon. Therefore, study what the new laws and principles are and grow your own garden. You, Ceres, are the moon hiding Vulcan, Ray 1.

You are to build the temples where everyone can relearn humanity’s true history, understand prayer and meditation, and raise children naturally. You are to teach the little ones—and the big ones, too—and create festivals uniting the ages, religions and cultures, teaching through the study of the stars, planets and sun. You are to work with Aquarius until the communities are built. You are Pluto, Ray 1 of will, purpose and power.

You are to nurture the new ideas, use your Ray 3 resources to back the research needed. You are to also tend to those on the front lines of bringing the new information forth. Through you, a new culture and civilization comes forth. You are to open the gates where new impressions for a new sharing economy come through. The entire world is to be your family. You are Neptune, Ray 6, the dissolver, refiner and the nurturer.

On one hand, the median price was significantly up, close to its all-time high. On the other hand, the rest of the metrics are trending in the opposite direction: sales are down, inventory is increasing, days on market are growing, the percentage of list price that properties sold for is slipping. These factors are all indicative of a slowing market.

Time to insert my usual note of caution here: Don’t worry folks, the sky isn’t falling. Slowing down isn’t the same as plunging into the abyss.

That’s a little PTSD you are experiencing, left over from the shock of the Great Recession, which was a once-in-a lifetime event, not likely to repeat itself.

So what does it mean? Can prices actually go up if the market slows down? How can sellers, buyers and/or agents wrap their heads around the cognitive dissonance in the data?

Hint: Start by looking at the same monthly stats for Santa Clara County through the end of May. There are no mixed indicators there.

The info presents a very one-sided picture.

Here’s a quick snapshot: Median Price? Down by a chunk, year-overyear, for the month of May. $1,340,000 in 2019 vs. $1,400,000 in 2018.

Closed Sales? Down. 1,007 in May 2019. 1,102 in May of 2018.

Inventory? Up significantly - 1,400 single family homes vs. closer to 1,000 in May of 2018.

Average Days on Market? Also up. 24 days on average vs. 14 days in 2018 Percentage of List Price Sold? Lower. 111% in May, 2018. 102% in 2019.

Months to Sell? Up. 2.0 months this year vs.

1.2mo in 2018.

Next Week: We’ll examine the relationship between Santa Cruz and Silicon Valley and how these two real estate markets interact and affect each other.

Call to understand key forces in this market.

Last week, we looked at 2019 sales data for the County through the end of May. (If you want to receive an expanded version and more detailed monthly stats in the future, just email me.) The results were decidedly mixed and seemed to portend a shift in the market over the coming months.

MARTA SPRAGUE, 30-Year Customer

S HOPP ER’ S SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Medical translator and interpreter Hobbies: Cooking, tennis, rescuing dogs Who or what first got you shopping here?

I had moved here in 1989 and was looking for a really good butcher shop, and my neighbors directed me to Shopper’s Corner. I’ve been shopping here at least twice a week ever since.

I’ve always liked the store’s ambiance and its size — you know where things are and can easily find them. If you need assistance, you’ll always find helpful staff in the aisles; the same is true with produce and actually all of the departments.You don’t always find that in other markets. I find Shopper’s very convenient. I can easily find parking, no matter the time of day, and they open at 6 am daily!

What do you like to cook? First of all, I love to cook. It’s my therapy. My family is from Spain, and I enjoy making Spanish and Mediterranean-style dishes. I cook lots of fish, roasted vegetables, rice dishes — Shopper’s carries paella rice! — also tapas and lots of pasta. Shopper’s carries so many terrific specialty products — olive oils, vinegars, anchovy- stuffed olives, imported prosciutto (they slice), and superb spices! Shopper’s ice creams and gelatos are the best, same with their fabulous liquor selection and local wines, like Soquel Vineyards, Storres,Windy Oaks and Bargetto, just a few of my favorites.

You’re a fan of shopping local? Yes, and I appreciate that Shopper’s offers many locally produced items:There are Kelly’s breads and pastries, Companion breads, Bagelry bagels, Pasta Mike’s pasta, and the beautiful produce.

The butcher counter’s a lively spot. I may be talking to people I know while eating the free candy. Butchers are laughing along with each other and customers.And then my number’s called.They may ask,‘Can I get you ground turkey? Would you like salmon today?’The guys know what you want and they’ll specialcut whatever you need.This is what shopping local feels like.

“Shopper’s is a wonderful community store; the people are friendly and knowledgeable, and you’ll find things you cannot get elsewhere.”
