OPINION

PUBLISHER’S NOTE One of GT’s most iconic covers featured “SC’s own Doobie Brother” Pat Simmons 41 years ago, in January 1978. In the interview with his good friend and novelist Bill Craddock, Simmons casually mentioned, “We’re doin’ a new album.” Ten months later, Minute

by Minute was released, and by spring it was the country’s bestselling album and would go tripleplatinum.

I remember thinking how cool it

was seeing one of the era’s genuine rock stars at the zenith of his commercial success walking out of a Soquel florist or behind the counter at his Classic Motorcycles shop on Mission Street. I’d see his post-Doobie Brothers-breakup band Skin Suit perform at the Crow’s Nest, and attended the Doobies’ benefit at the Catalyst after the Loma Prieta earthquake. Pat then started a family and moved to Maui.

Time flies, and now Pat’s son is a family man and working musician in his own right, making his headlining club debut at Moe’s Alley on Thursday and appearing on the cover of GT with Steve Palopoli’s cover story. Welcome home!

KEEP UP VS. UPKEEP

4

Having just read the article “Booking Ahead” in the Good Times (GT, 7/10) edition extolling the new Capitola library being built, I want to respond to some of the opinions being expressed in it. I totally agree that the libraries are central to maintaining the community. The downtown library is an important part of my life, both its materials and its programs.

However, the overall tone of this article was “Hey, we need to keep up with the Joneses.” Not all of us want to keep up.

Some of us see this attitude as having been part of a culture that is unsustainable. We have enough information now about the rapidity of global warming and species extinction that the idea of building another parking structure downtown Santa Cruz becomes questionable.

Many people are afraid of the homeless.

Seeing that the downtown library is a refuge for some individuals who are homeless might keep them away. I wonder if the thought is that having modern steel and glass structures will keep more homeless folk away? Isn’t it time to face our fears and broaden our idea of community?

We are in the 21st century and the image of moving forward to a bigger and better material world is not clear for many of us.

Why can’t we nurture the community that is actually here? Do we need to project “new”

as if it’s going to save us from deterioration that our own consumerism has helped bring about?

SARA CLOUD | SANTA CRUZ

REASONS FOR RECALL Re: Nuz’s “Call It Like It Is” (GT, 6/19): On March 24, I attended a rally against the Krohn-Glover plan to establish a Ross-style campground at Depot Park. The protest was organized by residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, who had a microphone and speaker set up. I stood among the listeners facing the speakers. Councilman Glover stood with the organizers facing the audience. Whenever a neighborhood organizer spoke against the tent camp, Glover applauded—pretending to be against the proposal that he and Councilman Krohn had initiated only days before. I was shocked, but not surprised, by the councilman’s deceitful behavior. Clearly, Mr. Glover was not suddenly against his own proposal. So I conclude that he was trying to fool the neighbors. The majority of voters in Santa Cruz, however, are not fools, and recognize obvious dishonesty. Residents of our town have the opportunity to reject pretense and deceit by simply signing a petition to place the recall measure on the ballot. Let the voters decide whether dishonesty is a valid reason to remove someone from office.

Who says that dogs can’t appreciate a good tale? The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter and county parks department will host the first-ever “Doggie Date Night” on Thursday, Aug. 8, at Brommer Street Park, 1451 30th Ave., Santa Cruz. There will be tacos and beer, with festivities beginning at 7 p.m.

Free movie The Secret Life of Pets will start at 8:30 p.m. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome. For more information, visit scanimalshelter.org.

The Santa Cruz sock company MERGE4 founder and CEO Cindi Busenhart apologized to the Hindu community for socks featuring Lord Ganesh, quickly removed the product from its website and discontinued the design.

Rajan Zed of the Nevada-based Universal Society of Hinduism had emailed news outlets about the representation of the elephantheaded god. Zed argued that putting the deity on people’s feet trivialized Ganesh, which Busenhart said was never her intention.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of July 31 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

“Dear Diary, last night my Aries friend dragged me to the Karaoke Bowling Alley and Sushi Bar. I was deeply skeptical. The place sounded tacky. But after being there for 20 minutes, I had to admit that I was having a fantastic time. And it just got better and more fun as the night wore on. I’m sure I made a fool of myself when I did my bowling ball imitation, but I can live with that. At one point I was juggling a bowling pin, a rather large piece of sweet potato tempura, and my own shoe while singing Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir"—and I don’t even know how to juggle. I have to admit that this sequence of events was typical of my adventures with Aries folks. I suppose I should learn to trust that they will lead me to where I don’t know I want to go."

What’s the story of your life? Psychologist James Hillman said that in order to thrive, you need to develop a clear vision of that story. How do you do that? Hillman advised you to ask yourself this question: “How can I assemble the pieces of my life into a coherent plot?” And why is this effort to decode your biography so important? Because your soul’s health requires you to cultivate curiosity and excitement about the big picture of your destiny. If you hope to respond with intelligence to the questions and challenges that each new day brings, you must be steadily nourished with an expansive understanding of why you are here on earth. I bring these ideas to your attention, Libra, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to illuminate and deepen and embellish your conception of your life story.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 In his poem “Wild Oats,” poet W. S. Merwin provided a message that’s in perfect alignment with your current astrological needs: “I needed my mistakes in their own order to get me here.” He was not being ironic in saying that; he was not making a lame attempt to excuse his errors; he was not struggling to make himself feel better for the inconvenience caused by his wrong turns. No! He understood that the apparent flubs and miscues he had committed were essential in creating his successful life. I invite you to reinterpret your own past using his perspective.

GEMINI May21–June20 Even if you’re an ambidextrous, multi-gendered, neurologically diverse, Phoenician-Romanian Gemini with a fetish for pink duct tape and an affinity for ideas that no one has ever thought of, you will eventually find your sweet spot, your power niche, and your dream sanctuary. I promise. Same for the rest of you Geminis, too. It might take a while. But I beg you to have faith that you will eventually tune in to the homing beacon of the mother lode that’s just right for you. P.S.: Important clues and signs should be arriving soon.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

What would a normal, boring astrologer tell you at a time like now? Maybe something like this: “More of other people’s money and resources can be at your disposal if you emanate sincerity and avoid being manipulative.

If you want to negotiate vibrant compromises, pay extra attention to good timing and the right setting. Devote special care and sensitivity to all matters affecting your close alliances and productive partnerships.” As you know, Cancerian, I’m not a normal, boring astrologer, so I wouldn’t typically say something like what I just said.

But I felt it was my duty to do so because right now you need simple, basic, no-frills advice. I promise I’ll resume with my cryptic, lyrical oracles next time.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide,” wrote psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. I think that description fits many people born under the sign of the Scorpio, not just Scorpio artists. Knowing how important and necessary this dilemma can be for you, I would never glibly advise you to always favor candid, straightforward communication over protective, strategic hiding. But I recommend you do that in the coming weeks. Being candid and straightforward will serve you well.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Sagittarian poet Aracelis Girmay writes, “How ramshackle, how brilliant, how haphazardly and strangely rendered we are. Gloriously, fantastically mixed and monstered.

We exist as phantom, monster, miracle, each a theme park all one’s own.” Of course that’s always true about every one of us. But it will be extraordinarily true about you in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be at the peak of your ability to express what’s most idiosyncratic and essential about your unique array of talents and specialties.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Sometime soon I suspect you will arrive at a crossroads in your relationship with love and sex—as well as your fantasies about love and sex. In front of you: a hearty cosmic joke that would mutate your expectations and expand your savvy. Behind you: an alluring but perhaps confusing call toward an unknown future. To your left: the prospect of a dreamy adventure that might be only half-imaginary. To your right: the possibility of living out a slightly bent fairy tale version of romantic catharsis.

I’m not here to tell you what you should do, Capricorn.

My task is simply to help you identify the options.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

Let’s check in with our psychic journalist, LoveMancer, who’s standing by with a live report from inside your imagination. What’s happening, LoveMancer? “Well, Rob, the enchanting creature on whose thoughts I’ve been eavesdropping has slipped into an intriguing frontier.

This place seems to be a hot zone where love and healing interact intensely. My guess is that being here will lead our hero to breakthrough surges of love that result in deep healing, or deep healing that leads to breakthrough surges of love—probably both.”

How many handcuffs are there in the world? Millions.

Yet there are far fewer different keys than that to open all those handcuffs. In fact, in many countries, there’s a standard universal key that works to open most handcuffs. In this spirit, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m designating August as Free Yourself from Your Metaphorical Handcuffs Month. It’s never as complicated or difficult as you might imagine to unlock your metaphorical handcuffs; and for the foreseeable future it will be even less complicated and difficult than usual for you.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Virgo figure skater Scott Hamilton won an Olympic gold medal and four World Championships. He was a star who got inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame and made a lot of money after he turned professional. “I calculated once how many times I fell during my skating career—41,600 times,” he testified in his autobiography.

“But here’s the funny thing: I also got up 41,600 times.

That’s the muscle you have to build in your psyche—the one that reminds you to just get up.” In accordance with current astrological omens, Virgo, I’ll be cheering you on as you strengthen that muscle in your psyche during the coming weeks.

People who sneak a gaze into your laboratory might be unnerved by what they see. You know and I know that your daring experiments are in service to the ultimate good, but that may not be obvious to those who understand you incompletely. So perhaps you should post a sign outside your lab that reads, “Please don’t leap to premature conclusions! My in-progress projects may seem inexplicable to the uninitiated!” Or maybe you should just close all your curtains and lock the door until your future handiwork is more presentable. P.S. There may be allies who can provide useful feedback about your explorations. I call them the wounded healers.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: BEEKEEPER TROUBLE I’ve been fortunate enough to have Tom and Donna’s honey, and have come to their home with my young children. They have inspired me with their hospitality and generosity, and my girls never were stung during many long visits in their yard. They are a couple of good people that represent what’s good about humankind. Please let them keep up the “good times” with their beekeeping!

I had no idea about this ordinance! I came to this article via Councilmember Glover addressing it in his newsletter. I am all for revamping this ridiculous rule. Thank you for the info.

— MICHELLE DAVIS

An unfortunate story, especially as they’ve had been there for years. Sound like great neighbors, with a cool front yard. The Google street view is very illuminating. Small beehive in 2011 turns into two impressive large hives in 2015, and in 2019 hives are mostly gone, with a building going in to the left.

NEWS NIGHTMARE IN GILROY Santa Cruz resident reportedly among garlic festival shooting victims BY LAUREN HEPLER

LEADING REASON Police Chief Andy Mills says anyone who’s too afraid to visit downtown Santa Cruz is missing out. PHOTO: TARMO HANNULA

Chiefly Responsible

Police Chief Andy Mills talks two years on the force, police oversight, sexual assault and officer workloads BY JACOB PIERCE

P

olice Chief Andy Mills is coming up on two years with the city of Santa Cruz, as the anniversary of his official swearing in approaches on Aug. 7. According to the most recent data, crime in Santa Cruz appears to have fallen over that span, although Mills is reluctant to take credit himself for any positive trends.

Last week, GT sat down with Mills at Walnut Avenue Cafe to talk about summer fireworks, police oversight and why he and his wife choose to live and rent downtown. The Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) is celebrating National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 6, with an open house at the station.

What has the atmosphere been like at the department ever since Santa Cruz Police Officer David Gunter got sentenced to house arrest for sexually assaulting his colleagues?

ANDY MILLS: I just went through an interview with everyone in our department who has more than a year on, trying to figure out what the things are that bug them. That did come up fairly frequently. I think the issue is not so much that we arrested him as the embarrassment it causes to the profession, to the organization, that there’s victims of this. It’s created a lack of trust among some employees. It’s been a catastrophic event.

Anyone who’s spent the past few summers in Santa Cruz can see that fireworks have dropped way down since July of 2017, just before you took office. What’s been your strategy? How much credit do you give yourself and your department?

I would love to take all the credit in the world for reducing fireworks, but I can’t. I’m not sure why the amount of fireworks has gone down.

When I first got here, people told me it was a complete war zone, and I hadn’t seen that. My wife and I had just moved downtown. We live at Soquel and Front. I thought, “Hey, this isn’t too bad.” Then at 3 in the morning, it looked like Disneyland outside. That’s not acceptable >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019

A pair of recent Santa Cruz transplants are thought to have been among those caught in the chaos when a gunman opened fire on Sunday evening with less than a half-hour left in the 41st annual Gilroy Garlic Festival.

Multiple news agencies reported after the shooting that killed two children, ages 6 and 13, that also among the dead was 25-year-old Trevor Irby, a native of upstate New York who friends say moved to Santa Cruz with his girlfriend earlier this year. A Gofundme campaign registered to three of Irby’s classmates from Keuka College also notes that Irby was living in Santa Cruz, and that, “Trevor was an unfortunate victim of the mass shooting.”

Local law enforcement officials were unable to confirm the reports, since all investigations related to the shooting will be handled by authorities on the ground in Gilroy, says Sgt. Dee Baldwin of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office. Santa Cruz Police Chief Andy Mills adds that his department sent several groups of local officers to help secure the shooting site at Christmas Hill Park, along with other police departments in Watsonville and Capitola.

The Santa Cruz County Fire Department was also among dozens of local agencies to send reinforcements to Gilroy. A spokesperson said that the department sent five engines and one battalion chief to the site on Sunday, all of whom returned that night.

In the meantime, there are still more questions than answers about the events leading up to the shooting. Thick fog had settled in by Monday morning, when rumors started to swirl about social media posts that may have linked the shooter, 19-year-old Gilroy native Santino William Legan, to far-right or racist ideologies.

Police confirmed that the 2017 Gilroy High graduate had an active Facebook account, but they did not comment on other accounts or potential motives.

“Everybody wants to know why,” Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said at a Monday press conference.

Also unclear was whether the AK-47style gun that police said Legan used in the shooting was legal in California, since he purchased the weapon in Nevada. >14

What Success Looks Like

By Datta Khalsa, Broker I recently showed a home where an owner had obviously put good energy into creating a particularly welcoming space. In turn, I felt moved to do my part in making sure the place was left in a respectful manner, and at the end of showing their home to my buyers, the following text thread ensued: (Me) Just finished, thank you. Lights are out and all doors are locked.

(Seller) Thank you, Appreciate your follow thru.

(Seller, again after a brief pause) Just so you know, you’re the first and only Realtor of many who has done this kind gesture.

(Me) I have found in 26 years of doing this business that the little details like these can matter as much as the big ones.

(Seller) Absolutely!

The experience drove home a feeling of mindfulness in action between two parties and the positive ripple it sent between them. This type of interaction doesn’t cost either party a cent, yet the benefits are well worth the effort: if nothing else follows, the experience has been pleasant in and of itself. And it lays a foundation for further positive interactions between the parties if by chance, the showing were to ultimately result in an offer.

JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

As one of my old yoga teachers used to say, “it doesn’t matter how far you go, but rather how you go.” Indeed, one should never, ever underestimate the value of building good will, which in real estate, for example, can make the crucial difference between a deal going together—and staying together—or not.

12

There are equally valuable corollaries in sports psychology, where athletes are taught to be process-oriented instead of result-oriented. To me, true success in real estate is not measured in dollars generated in a transaction but rather the amount of good will that was generated between the parties, and a successful career is built on countless smaller incidents that in and of themselves could be seen as pointless without a sense of the bigger picture. The money that we get paid is the equivalent of the trophy one would earn in sport, but the true reward is in the experiences along the way that lead to the result, and that includes the training.

In fact, as real estate agents our best work often goes unpaid, or can be spent on seemingly trivial projects, when in fact the repercussions of a positive attitude in an agent who takes the time to educate themselves or to take a seemingly small job seriously can lead to far greater things. Such opportunities could just as easily be squandered or ruined by a poor performance which could cost far more than the money that agent might have generated from any single deal.

In short, success is not an isolated incident, rather it is cumulative, and a culmination of the many steps and interactions that lead to the end result.

Looking back on a lifetime of interactions, it is increasingly clear to me that the underlying feelings between the parties at the end of the day mean far more than the money or the consideration that changed hands, which proves to me above all else, that attitude—combined with mindfulness—is everything.

in our community. I’m not sure why it went down. We certainly put out a lot of educational media. It could be as simple as it not being as easy to get the stuff over the internet this year. Or some of the suppliers we hear about in Salinas or San Francisco didn’t have enough stock.

Or people are being more educated on the effects on people with PTSD or animals. I hope that’s the case— that people are more compassionate.

Why do you live downtown?

This is an amazing city. This is where people choose to go to vacation. It has nightlife, amazing restaurants. We walk to dinner several times a week. There’s entertainment. There’s action. We walk downtown—my wife and I, or individually—every single day. There are throngs of people out enjoying this fabulous city. We love being in the heart of it. Plus, the commute’s terrible. I walk to work everyday,

and it’s the highlight of my day.

Santa Cruz is the crown jewel of this region. I get the comment a lot, “Hey, we’re afraid to go downtown.”

You’re missing out on something wonderful.

I remember hearing that you lived in Capitola? Was that just in the beginning of your time here?

Yeah, we actually rented that place sight unseen. We got online and started looking for places to rent. We went to Santa Cruz first and didn’t find anything that met our needs. The place in Capitola popped up.

We tried to buy a house when we first got here. We knew the market was hot, so we gave ’em a full-price offer. They laughed and said, “No, no, no, that’s not how it works.”

The independent police auditor’s contract just expired, and the Chief’s Advisory Committee doesn’t do investigations. Are there any avenues for police oversight right now?

It expires every year about this

time, and it’s managed out of the city manager’s office. And I know they’re going to be putting out an RFP on that. There’s nothing in the hopper right now that’s pressing.

That’ll come out in the not-toodistant future. And again, that’s managed through their office, because it’s police oversight. I’m part of the police. My feeling on it was, “We’ve had the same guy for 18 years. At what point does it not become independent anymore?” It was time to put out an RFP and see what else is out there. Someone with a little more independence might apply. They may not. So we’ll see.

Crime was down overall last year, according to data SCPD submitted to the FBI. And five out of the seven individual crime categories of crime were down. The FBI warns not to use these stats to determine department effectiveness, but is there something you’re doing right?

There’s a lot we’re doing right. We have some young officers >14 and older officers that really

NUZ POD ENOUGH Santa Cruz Local, the new media outfit and podcast launched by Kara Meyberg Guzman and Stephen Baxter, has been pulling back the curtain on how they do business. In the first installment of a new series called “Meet Santa Cruz Local,” former Santa Cruz Sentinel managing editor Meyberg Guzman said she wanted to be more transparent.

In conversation, she mentioned that Baxter “really burned out” on journalism back in 2016 and then “took a break.” Baxter elaborated that his wife had a baby around that time. But if this was really all about transparency, Baxter should have added that he resigned shortly after he left a mean-spirited voicemail that

got posted to Facebook and ignited controversy.

But anyway, we were more interested in the survey responses from Santa Cruz Local listeners about what they want and where they get their information. Baxter reported that 85% of listeners said they want “news about city government and deeply reported investigative pieces.”

Three-quarters of listeners get their news from the Sentinel, Baxter added, and half get news from word of mouth.

Three-quarters also get their news from the social media site NextDoor.

Wait, these listeners have been getting their information from the platform where xenophobes post phony facts about made-up plans for new homeless encampments,

without checking anything, just to stir the pot?

Come on Santa Cruz Local listeners, Nuz is right here.

What is it you want to know?

WEED BE REMISS Speaking of podcasts, in a recent episode of The Weeds, journalist Matthew Yglesias interviewed Yale law professor David Schleicher about why local and state politics—a onetime respite of partisanship— have gotten so nasty as of late.

In many ways, it’s a story of the rise of the decline of local media, as well as the rise of cable news and online media.

Back when news consumers had more local information, it was easier for them to vote for a liberal presidential candidate and a more conservative

councilmember in the same election cycle, generally speaking. Those days are over. Voters increasingly pick local candidates based on partisan instincts, instead of local issues. “People have less information about local politics with which to distinguish whatever it is their city is doing from whatever it is the president is doing,” Schleicher explained.

This is all happening, of course, against the backdrop of an increasingly polarized national political landscape that’s dividing the electorate.

Makes you think, how many Santa Cruzans who love/ hate councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn with every fiber of their being could explain why they feel so strongly?

There are a lot of things that impact crime rates.

Ten percent of people account for 51% of crime. Well, you’ve got to take a look at that 10%. One of the things we found out in taking care of the un-housed population is they’re 20 times more likely to be the victim of a crime. That’s a concern. They’re 18 times more likely to be the suspect of a crime. So what does that mean?

What can we do to intervene in that?

That’s how you’re able to affect the crime right—by being as smart as possible about it.

Eighty percent of property crime is a crime of opportunity, so if we can help educate people to take stuff out of cars at night and lock their cars, it ceases to be the honeypot where people can go. People shouldn’t steal from those vehicles, but if you can reduce it, you want to do that.

NIGHTMARE IN GILROY <11

JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

COLLECTIVE GRIEF

14

When the shooting began around 5:40 p.m. on Sunday, Gilroy resident Kelly Ramirez hid in a tent with a group of cheerleaders, two young children and several mothers she described as overcome by “paralyzing fear” since their children were elsewhere in the park.

“Every one of us in this community is now a survivor,” Ramirez said at a vigil held Monday night in downtown Gilroy.

After a tense day marked by swarms of television crews roaming residential neighborhoods, the vigil brought together anti-violence advocates, law enforcement, politicians, and local public figures like Ms. Morgan Hill Teen USA. Some attendees wore t-shirts emblazoned with slogans including “#gilroystrong” and “Keep calm & eat garlic.”

The vigil was organized by Gilroy resident David Almeida, who said he expected only a few people to show up when he created a Facebook event earlier in the day. Hundreds packed the plaza near the police station just over 24 hours after the shooting.

“I thought this would help me process,”

said Almeida, who created the event after he said he was unable to sleep or work after the shooting. “But what happened was a lot to process.”

In addition to Irby, speakers at the vigil identified the two other victims as San Jose residents Stephen Romero, 6, and Keyla Salazar, 13. A total of 15 people were injured, including Romero’s mother and grandmother, family members said.

“My son had his whole life to live,” Romero’s father, Alberto Romero, told NBC Bay Area.

After initial reports that multiple shooters may have been involved in the incident, police on Monday said that they had searched the family home and car of Legan, the grandson of former Santa Clara County Supervisor Thomas Legan. Santino Legan was shot dead by police within a minute of opening fire, investigators said.

State Senator Bill Monning, whose district includes both Santa Cruz and Gilroy, recalled attending the first Gilroy Garlic Festival in 1971. The event has grown in tandem with the city, which is now home to just under 60,000 people. That the shooting happened at the festival, Monning said, only “enhanced” the shock.

“There’s no training manual for

responding to this type of tragedy,” Monning said.

Tension and frustration also surfaced at times during the vigil. Speakers like Elsa Lopez, founder of San Jose anti-violence nonprofit A Mother’s Voice, urged those shaken by the event to channel their grief into advocacy for victims.

“We are broken today, and the families are even more broken,” Lopez said. “You might have silenced our children, but you haven’t silenced us. We are their voice.”

As shellshocked residents ran through what-if scenarios—what if they’d stayed at the festival a little longer, or gone back to the park instead of going to see a play?—a sense of shattered peace also crept into speakers’ remarks.

Morgan Hill City Councilmember Rene Spring recalled another shooting just a month earlier in his neighboring town. In that case, three people were killed when a shooter believed to be a disgruntled former employee opened fire at a local Ford dealership and killed two employees and himself.

“Things like this don’t happen,” Spring said of the quiet, culturally diverse Silicon Valley suburbs. “But they do.”

You’re 62. How much longer do you think you’ll be chief?

I’m here until either we work with the community to fix these problems or I get Bernie Sanders’ age. I have no plans for going anywhere. We love this community. We enjoy the people we work with, both in the community and in the department.

Many think of Santa Cruz as a liberal town, but it also has a very loud public safety community. Do you have different messages for each camp, or do you try to stay consistent and talk to everyone all at once?

I try to be fairly consistent in my messaging. If you get in that game, where you’re playing “talk tough with this group and “social justice” with this group, it gets all muddled. I’m pretty pragmatic, and I try to just drive forward with what I think is important and what I think is right. Yes, I know there’s a group that’s very interested in taking things back to the way they were in the ’70s. The difference is it’s almost 50 years later. Things have changed. That doesn’t

You mentioned the police force’s size. Hiring more cops was a popular idea in 2013, when the Public Safety Task Force wrapped up.

I do, based on the city’s size, with as much as we have going on. The CPSM study, which came out a year and a half ago, looked at the size of our department, size of the city, calls for service. They said you have to do one of two things— either increase your police force in size or cut down the calls for service you have. It takes about $1 million for every five police officers all packaged in. That’s a pretty big nut in a community that’s struggling with PERS obligations. The only other thing you can do is cut down on calls for service. We’ve tried to do that and met some resistance.

Our officers get dispatched to see if there’s poop in the gutter. Is that what we want a $75-an-hour police officer to do? I don’t think so. That doesn’t make any sense to me. It becomes my responsibility to figure out how to cut down on those calls.

Growing Up Doobie Maui singer-songwriter and activist Pat Simmons Jr., son of the Doobie Brothers’ co-founding guitarist, returns to his father’s former home for a gig at Moe’s Alley ~ BY STEVE PALOPOLI

ost mainlanders know the meaning of aloha, but fewer have heard of Aloha ‘Āina. That’s a bit ironic, considering that the concept of Aloha ‘Āina is arguably even more integral to the Hawaiian way of life. While it literally translates to “love of the land,” the meaning in everyday life is far more complex, encompassing not only one’s connection to the Earth, but also environmental consciousness and cultural understanding of all types.

It’s also the principle by which Pat Simmons Jr. lives his life. He’s primarily known for his music, which is to be expected when you’re the son of a founding member of one of the most famous groups of the ’70s and ’80s—Doobie Brothers guitarist Patrick Simmons—and your own musical career began when you were barely old enough to walk.

But the 28-year-old Simmons, who released his debut album This Mountain in 2017 and is currently working on a follow-up, sees his music mainly as a medium for his message. And sometimes, he’s torn between whether musical activism

or direct action is the best way to get it across—to the point that it’s even a little bit hard for him to be on his current West Coast tour, which comes to Moe’s Alley on Aug. 1.

On the Big Island, the showdown between protestors and the TMT Observatory Corporation over a planned Thirty Meter Telescope construction project on Mauna Kea has intensified over the last week.

Though Simmons lives on Maui, he says this is an issue that affects all Hawaiians.

“My message is Aloha ‘Āina,” says Simmons. “For me, my ultimate hope and goal with my music right now is to spread the word about what’s happening in Hawaii. It’s so hard for me to be away right now, knowing that my ohana, my Hawaiian family, is standing up for their sacred mountain and trying to protect the place they call home. If I was home, I’d be right there on the front lines.”

Being out on tour also means less time he can be at home farming with his family. “When I’m not playing my music, I’m mostly weeding gardens and planting,” he says. “The indigenous people had a

whole agricultural system that they passed down for generations, these agricultural practices. I’ve really learned a lot from what they grew—a lot of root vegetables, a really special plant called taro. In Hawaii, it’s called kalo. My family and I grow a lot of it, and a lot of fruits.”

And, let’s face it, the coconuts are not going to pick themselves.

“Coconuts are a big part of our life.

I actually climb coconut trees with a harness,” says Simmons. “I’ve got my whole harness setup, where I can get way up in a tree and belay down the coconuts, which are hundreds of pounds.”

Clearly, coconut-picking is not what people expect from the son of a rock star.

“People expect that I’m this fancy, riding-the-high-life, rock-star kind of person,” he says. “And in some ways, I did grow up with that, because I was on tour with my dad and grew up backstage. Whereas at home, I grew up in the country with all the local Hawaiian kids. I grew up where most of my friends had never even heard the Doobie Brothers.”

JUST ANOTHER KID

20

Another Hawaiian word Simmons feels a close connection to is haole, the word for a non-native Hawaiian.

That’s the outsider status that Simmons started from on Maui, where he moved with his family from his native Northern California at age 5. Though he fell in love with the island’s indigenous culture, he had to prove himself at every turn— particularly with surfing, which has long been a huge part of his life.

“I was just another local kid, another haole, another white kid in Maui,” he says. “I had to make a name for myself there, being a surfer in the lineup. Nobody cares who your dad is. It’s a different world out there.”

He wasn’t the only superstar offspring going through a bit of haole culture shock. One of his close friends growing up was Lukas Nelson, son of country music legend Willie Nelson. The two formed their first band at age 12, complete with

exactly the kind of terrible band name you’d expect from a pre-teen group musically situated somewhere between the Jimi Hendrix Experience and punk rock.

“The first band we had was a little garage band,” Simmons recalls. “I was the singer, Lukas was the lead guitar player. His brother Micah, who goes by Particle Kid now in his band, he was the drummer. We played all around Maui; that was my first experience writing music and performing it. We all had calluses on our fingers because we were just learning to play guitar. We were practicing hard, and our fingers were getting sore, so we called our band Kalice.”

It may sound adorably silly now, but behind the adolescent energy, the seeds of something deeper were already being planted.

“We were all kind of becoming hippies at that age, because of who our parents were,” says Simmons.

“Willie Nelson’s a real activist himself, so we were exposed to that

We were all just kids skateboarding and playing video games and watching ‘South Park.’ At a certain point, Pat decided—as we all did—that being conscientious and aware of our social and environmental responsibilities as humans was an important part of our growth.” - LUKAS NELSON <20 at a young age. I remember being 12 years old when the Iraq War began, right after 9/11. There were war and oil protests happening all around the country, and I remember being at marches with my family and the Nelson family on Maui. We’d go march in the streets. We were exposed to activism and aware of the environmental crisis at a very young age. Some of our songs were about that kind of stuff.”

Lukas Nelson remembers that he and his brother Micah “had a blast” in Kalice.

“Pat was our best friend, and still is,” Nelson says. “When we were young, we were all just kids skateboarding and playing video games and watching South Park. At a certain point, Pat decided—as we all did—that being conscientious and aware of our social and environmental responsibilities as humans was an important part of our growth.”

Nelson says he understands exactly where Simmons is coming from with his musical mission, and how it was shaped by their upbringing. “Growing up in Hawaii, we are confronted with a diversity and exposure to nature that many on the mainland aren’t,” says Nelson. “We can see firsthand the importance of preserving culture, and the impact that an invading culture can have on social development. As people of European decent, we had to be educated about the way Hawaiian lands were stolen, and it is our responsibility to make sure that proper respect to the land and native culture is given.”

WAITING IN THE WINGS While Kalice gave him his first shot at songwriting, it wasn’t Simmons’ first exposure to the stage—far from it. That came over numerous Doobie Brothers tours, where he would wait every night to be called out for the band’s traditional last song, “Listen to the Music.”

“When I was about one and a half, two years old—just starting to walk even—I would get out on stage with my dad, and I just wanted to be out there. I don’t even remember when I started doing this. I was probably two or something, but they used to put these big soundproof headphones on my head to protect my ears, and I would walk out on stage in front of thousands of people with my little plastic guitar and just rock out. Like, I had no fear of it.

I was totally having fun, and I just wanted to do that—every night I had to do it. Nobody was pushing me to do it. I wanted to.”

And he did it for years, until he got his own guitar at 10 years old and started to learn chords. When the Nelson brothers went on to form their own band after Kalice, Simmons had gotten more into surfing and skateboarding. But within a couple of years, he wanted to pursue music again, and his firstever solo gig came at age 16, opening for the Doobie Brothers at Mountain Winery in Saratoga.

He was introduced to Tom Johnston and John Hartman in 1970 by Skip Spence of Moby Grape, and the band began playing the local scene. In the early days, they found a devoted following among bikers, playing regularly at the Santa Cruz Mountain biker bar Chateau Liberté to Hell’s Angels and other biker gangs. John McFee, who joined the Doobie Brothers in 1979, grew up in Santa Cruz.

The Doobies’ lineup has famously been a revolving door over the years, with members coming and going—and sometimes coming back. Simmons Sr. has been the only member to be part of every era in the band’s almost halfcentury of existence (it did disband completely for a few years in the ’80s). He, Johnston and McFee are now the core of the line-up, which is currently touring the U.S. and Canada, and returns to Northern California to play the East Bay and San Francisco in September.

Many local fans know that at the height of the Doobies’ fame in the 1970s, Simmons Sr. lived in Santa Cruz, but they may not have known

that he was paving the way for his future son’s Aloha ‘Āina.

“My parents have always kind of been homesteader people,” says Simmons. “Not a lot of people realize this about my dad, but even when he was on tour in the ’70s, he used to raise 20 goats, and chickens. He had a whole farm in Santa Cruz. When he was off tour, he was milking goats and stuff, and living the country lifestyle.”

It’s true, confirms the elder Simmons. “We were out near Branciforte Drive, where it meets Vine Hill Road,” says Simmons Sr. “We did have goats in those days. I grew apples, and had a big garden.

I was the king of raspberries— they grow good in Santa Cruz, huge production! I still love those damn things. Nothing like fresh raspberries right off the vine.”

When he moved to Maui with his wife Cris and the kids, Simmons Sr. continued working the land.

“I started planting trees—citrus, avocados, lychees, papayas, macadamias, coconuts, and more.

I always loved growing things, and stuff grows fast in Hawaii,” he says. “I think Pat probably absorbed some of that, and more from friends of his who were even

GROWING UP DOOBIE more fanatical about growing. Then he studied permaculture, arbor techniques, grafting, and a whole range of farming, both in college and privately. He’s an amazing taro farmer. Of course it‘’s all organic, which is what we all try to eat.”

Simmons Sr. has gotten to witness the evolution of his son’s musical career from a unique perspective. He has been playing with him for years, and produced This Mountain.

“Pat has his own style, and approach to writing, and performing,” he says. “More than anything—and I think this is important—he is authentic. His songs come from the heart, and from personal experience, which is something I value personally. I like songs that tell a little story, and it’s best, for me anyway, when the story is a lived experience.”

It’s been a thrill, he says, to watch his son develop as an artist. “I’ve enjoyed music so much all my life.

Pat got bit by the same bug, and I see how much enjoyment he gets from it as well. When we play together, it’s as good as it gets,” says Simmons Sr. This Mountain was defined by strong hooks, Simmons’ environmental messages and a laid-back, often rootsy folk sound.

For this follow-up album, which he hopes to release by the end of the year, he’s taken a somewhat different approach.

“I really enjoyed making This Mountain, but I left a lot of the decisions up to my dad,” says Simmons. “This time around, I’ve been choosing the material, just being more creative in my own way.

Being the sole producer for the first time.”

As a result, he’s finding himself exploring more in the studio.

“I grew up listening to reggae music, and there’s a few reggae tunes in there. Which is, like, my ultimate dream, really. I grew up listening to Bob Marley and all the epic reggae musicians, and coming from Hawaii, that’s a big, big influence out there,” he says. “But I play all kinds of music, and there’s

definitely a country, bluegrass-y vibe in there, and then kind of a Jack Johnson funk-folk acoustic blues.

We even have a straight-up blues tune thrown in there. So it’s kind of a medley of all the different genres I love to perform and listen to.”

The first album had a coastal feel, and it was fun to see if you could tell what was NorCal influence and what was Hawaiian—they’re similar in a lot of ways, Simmons admits. There will likely be a similarly watery touch to his upcoming record, since he has rediscovered surfing after a bout with cancer brought him face to face with his own mortality.

“When I was 23 years old, I got diagnosed with testicular cancer.

I went through chemo, and after chemo I was really pretty rattled, just realizing how fragile my life really is. I started thinking about the things I love in my life, and the ocean and surfing was just something that popped up again,” he says. “And so right after chemo, I started surfing again. It helped me find peace and joy in my life again. I get up almost every morning and go look for waves in the dark at 5 am.

I’m committed. I do my best to try to get out there every day.”

Another Hawaiian word that is especially important to Simmons is na-au—intuition, which is how he is finding his way through his music career and his life.

“Part of my mission with the music is to really utilize my opportunity to talk about these important things, because we’re in such a pivotal moment as a species, and people need to wake up to the realities that we face on the planet,” he says. “It’s not easy, because there’s so much of the industry side of the music, where you’ve gotta write a song and it’s got to be catchy, and it’s gotta sell. There’s that whole pressure that I feel. But really, when I listen to my heart, when I tap deep into my na-au, I just keep following these messages that need to be heard.”

Wells had stipulated from the very beginning, each singer made a living wage.

Roomful of Teeth has been called a lab experiment for the human voice.

The sounds they are capable of creating using teeth, tongue, throat, and lips can range from stabbing percussion to shimmering whispers and lusty yodels. Each singer is classically trained, yet Bach would be astonished at the sounds they produce. Floating high above all the action of the lower voices is the effervescent soprano of Esteli Gomez, a Santa Cruz native who first studied music at Aptos High School with choral director Meri Pezzoni.

“This really is new and exciting music,” says Pezzoni, a UCSC music graduate. An accomplished singer and pianist, Pezzoni recently formed a woman’s vocal group, Amica, now rehearsing for its second annual concert. Having performed with countless choral groups in the Bay Area, Pezzoni suddenly wanted to do an all women’s group. “Instead of a book club,” she says with a laugh, “we have a singing club with a very high skill level.” Pezzoni has kept in touch with Gomez since the days when she was a student in Aptos.

“She started with me in junior high, and sang for six years as one of my soprano soloists.”

After Aptos, Gomez went to Yale School of Sacred Music, where she got involved in Baroque music.

Pezzoni vividly recalls Gomez’s “beautiful soprano voice and great phrasing. She was always a superstar,” she says.

The allure of singing with other voices in a choral ensemble is powerful, says Pezzoni. “You're either a soloist or you’re not. If you’re drawn to singing with others, it becomes your passion, and it can often begin in high school, where choirs get to travel and you sing with your friends. There’s a sense of belonging, of being a family,” Pezzoni says. She’s preaching to the choir, since I too began choral singing as a kid (and was in a madrigal group with Pezzoni several decades ago) and haven’t stopped.

Roomful of Teeth continues to find alternative kinds of sound and music, says Pezzoni.

“These musicians are always trying to push the envelope,” she says. “They’re astonishing.”

Roomful of Teeth will perform at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music on opening night (Friday, Aug. 2, 8 p.m.), when they’ll appear with the festival orchestra and mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton in the world premiere of ‘When There are Nine.’ They will also be part of the festival’s free Community Sing (Saturday, Aug. 3, 4 p.m.). Finally, there is a chamber concert devoted entirely to their radical choral music (Sunday, Aug. 4, 7 p.m.). Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St., Santa Cruz. cabrillomusic.org.

THEATER

WOOD YOU RATHER The baker (Ian Leonard, foreground right) and his wife (Melissa Harrington) consider the

pros and cons of wishes while the rest of the cast looks on in ‘Into the Woods.’ PHOTO: JANA MARCUS

Wish Fulfillment

Cabrillo Stage enchants with ‘Into The Woods’ BY LISA JENSEN and intricate (but often tonguetwisting) lyrics to creating the necessary magical mood by means of stagecraft alone. Fortunately, director and choreographer Janie Scott and her intrepid team are up to the task in this beautifully sung, wonderfully atmospheric production.

“Once upon a time … ” intones the onstage narrator to start things off. Andrew Ceglio is a formidable presence throughout in the role, observing the action with cool aplomb. (He also plays the Mysterious Man running loose in the woods with unhinged glee.)

Against a gorgeous, eerie, cleverly functional forest backdrop from scenic designer Skip Epperson, the principal characters are introduced.

Young Jack (played with eager

innocence by Jackson Brivic) lives with his exasperated mother (Alice Christine Hughes) and his best friend, their cow Milky White. (Yes, it’s a guy in a cow suit, but Isai Centeno brings humor and a touch of genuine pathos to the pantomime role.) They wish they weren’t so poor that they have to sell the cow.

Cinderella (Ashley Rae Little) rakes ashes out of the grate for her mean, social-climbing stepmother (Melanie Olivia Camras) and vain, twittery stepsisters (the fractious comedy duet of Kassandra Escamilla and Ryann Liljenstolpe) and wishes she could go to the prince’s festival.

Little captures Cinderella’s feisty fortitude, and possesses perhaps the loveliest, most ethereal voice in a cast of strong singers.

The Cabrillo Stage production of ‘Into the Woods’ plays through Aug. 18 at the Crocker Theater, 6500 Soquel Dr., Aptos.

D

on’t believe in fairy tales?

You may change your mind when you see Into The Woods, the second production of the summer season at Cabrillo Stage. While the show itself takes a somewhat sardonic view of the flip side of “happily ever after,” and cautions us to be careful what we wish for, the Cabrillo production is so teeming with the magic of live theater, it’ll make a believer out of anyone.

The blockbuster musical from Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine is a fairy tale mashup that examines the tropes of the genre—true love, quests of honor, virtue rewarded— before and after the tales’ traditional happily-ever-after conclusions. It’s a gift of a show, but also a challenge, from Sondheim’s fiendishly clever

The hard-working village baker (Ian Leonard) and the loyal baker’s wife (Melissa Harrison) wish more than anything for a child. But they can’t produce one, because the witch next door (Kristen Hermosillo) once visited a curse on the baker’s long-gone father.

This salt-of-the-earth couple grounds the more fantastical elements in the show, with Harrison an especially strong presence in what may be the most demanding and pivotal role.

But the curse may be lifted if they obtain for the conniving witch some magical objects—a quest that sets the rest of the plot in motion. Into their orbit skips gluttonous, reckless Red (a very funny Brittney Mignano) with her basket of goodies for Granny.

Rapunzel (Amy Young) is imprisoned in her tower by the doting witch, who longs to be her surrogate mother.

The prince who discovers her (Michael Stahl), and the smitten prince who doggedly pursues Cinderella after the festival (David Jackson) turn out to be brothers, equally fickle in their romantic attachments. (“I was raised to be charming, not sincere,” explains Cinderella’s prince.) The princes’ ironic duet “Agony” is a highlight, as is the dueling wordplay of Cinderella’s prince and the baker’s wife in “Any Moment,” deep in the woods. Jackson is also great fun as the slinky wolf with designs on Red. Maria Crush’s costumes are storybook-perfect. Kyle Grant’s lighting design is effective throughout, from the way the treetops overhanging the stage are lit to create depth to the sudden blackout inside Granny’s cottage when things get too gruesome. Scott has imaginative staging solutions for tricky elements, like the arrival of a giant (well, part of her), or a carriage full of revelers, complete with prancing horse. When one of the princes tours the village, he slides along on an ornate carousel pony.

Scott conjures a winsome, witty production of this tale of bittersweet enchantment. It’s everything an audience could wish for.

FROTH BIDDEN Indie rockers Froth play Felton Music Hall on Saturday, Aug. 3.

JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Froth Man Prophecies

30

How Joo-Joo Ashworth willed his band into existence just by speaking its name BY AARON CARNES

T

he members of Froth nearly released a blank record once, just because the idea sounded hilarious to them.

This was before the band actually existed, but singer/guitarist Joo-Joo Ashworth and a group of guys he was hanging around with would go to shows and tell people that they were a band called Froth. None of them played instruments, though, so they thought a great practical joke would be to release an actual vinyl record with an album cover that said “Froth” in big, bold letters, but had no music on it.

“This guy at a record pressing

plant said that he would do it for us for free because he had a blank mold,” Ashworth says. “He was dating my aunt, but then they broke up and it never happened.”

Froth did become a band later, mostly with other members. When Ashworth started to jam with this new group of guys, everyone was basically starting from scratch.

“It was definitely not serious at first,” Ashworth says. “Once the first record got put out, that clicked in—‘Oh, this is a band.’ But at the same time, every band is a real band, and every band isn’t a real band, you know what I mean?”

Now that Froth just released its fourth record Duress, they are more of a real band than a not-real band.

The early records were psychpop in the vein you’d expect from Burger Records, which released the group’s second album. For Duress, the band has evolved quite a bit and now incorporates a lot of shoegaze elements. It’s simultaneously more pop-oriented and more experimental in its layering of instrumentation and sonic nuancing.

Despite its beginnings, Froth has developed into a meticulous project where every sound is given a lot focus and care.

“Some of the songs we were working on for months and months,” Ashworth says. “We would throw it down and bring it back later. We took a bit of time dialing in the sounds. I like the process of knob twiddling.”

The latest record came after a quiet spell for the band. There was no official declaration of a hiatus, but the members were kind of off doing their own thing. Ashworth was working on a solo album, but eventually he started to wonder if the songs could work as a Froth record, despite going in a different direction.

“I think it turned out cool. I don’t think it was too far off from what we were doing before,” Ashworth says.

“Maybe some of it is left field. One or two songs.”

Songs cover some oddball topics, too, like lead single “Laurel,” which explores the brief 2018 Laurel vs.

Yanny craze, where a sound clip sounded like Laurel to some people and Yanny to others.

“I don't know if there was cultural significance for me. But I thought it was interesting that it can so specifically mark the time,” Ashworth says. “Those weeks with Yanny and Laurel were like a thing.”

Another song explores a condition he and drummer Cameron Allen share called “Alice in Wonderland Syndrome,” where one perceives large and small objects as one as they fall asleep. The song treats it with a light-hearted, stream-ofconsciousness view.

“It’s like this weird, overwhelming perception,” Ashworth says. “[The song] is a superficial discussion about it. It’s so hard to write about what the feeling even is.”

Overall, the music isn’t anything heavy; it’s more of a sonic adventure. The group digs deep into what a rock trio can sound like with this album, so much so that they barely recognize the band they were when they were still learning how to play their instruments.

“Just listen to the new album.

Don’t worry about the old ones,” says Ashworth. “Especially the first one.”

Froth performs at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, at Felton Music Hall, 627 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15 adv/$18 door. 704-7113.

I believe in the elusive. I believe in the poetic.

I believe in ecstasy and in joy.

If there is night, dawn approaches.

Color is life.

I choose to express myself in an abstract way.

This for me is the purest pursuit of reality, a reality that is fundamentally hilarious and entangled. For me narrative dilutes vision. I believe visual works are neither theory nor text and should not too easily be put into words.

Taste is overrated.

LOCAL BAND

EMILY LEWIS Last year, Emily Lewis released her debut solo EP Dreamtrax—a heartfelt, emotive, harmony-rich Americana record. While she’s baring her soul, she’s hoping to connect with other people feeling the weight of darkness crushing them, and also emphasize the importance of being in touch with one’s own feelings.

“A lot of the themes that come out in my songs are universal,” Lewis says.

JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

She’s been playing music for 22 years in various groups, though more seriously the past eight years. Her most recent group was a duo with Naia Graham called Sweet Medicine that formed in 2012. It was a folkoriented project that Lewis says played “medicine music.” She’s a believer in sound healing, and wrote these spiritual songs utilizing healing techniques she learned. They’d play yoga retreats and retreat centers.

44

“We incorporated chants and mantras into our music,” Lewis says. “We also wrote new material, which were lullabies for adults in a way.”

But Lewis had a lot of other material, including the emotional, intimate songs on this new record. In “Grief” she sings, “Grief comes in waves/sleepless nights. Belly Aches/sometimes the waves overtake me/I am lost at sea.”

She sees her solo music as its own form of sound healing, as well.

“I see my music as a way of connecting people to their own emotional experience,” Lewis says. “It gives people permission to express what they’re feeling.” AARON CARNES 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 31.

Michael’s On Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.

WEDNESDAY 7/31 COUNTRY

NICHOLAS MERZ Nicholas Merz is a storyteller at heart, so it makes sense that his debut solo album The Limits of Men has a literary bent. Each song is a vignette exploring different aspects of toxic masculinity.

Merz uses dialogue and character to grapple with the consequences of a hyper-sexist society. He uses his small town, working-class roots and love of country music to reckon with the topic.

Songs range from hazy-country daydreams to tumbleweed westerns. Merz’s deep baritone keeps the tales moving, as confident as any reliable narrator promising a hopeful end. AMY BEE 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 429-6994

THURSDAY 8/1 PSYCHEDELIC

JERRY JOSEPH Jerry Joseph is no stranger to the road less traveled. As a psychedelic

dub-grunge guitarist working largely outside the music industry, he’s charted a unique path from mountain reggae originator to freewheeling Stratocaster pyrotechnician. Joseph’s songwriting is a kaleidoscopic mix of grunge, jam, psych, and dub, all led along by his sizzling fretwork and distinctive voice.

An influential voice in jam music, Widespread Panic has covered no less than seven of his songs. Recent years found the California native teaching music in Iraq and Afghanistan, experiences which fueled his 2018 album Full Metal Burqa. MIKE HUGUENOR

with NG La Banda, Maraca, Chucho Valdés, and Emiliano Salvador, the group features his brothers Ignacio and Eugenio on guitar and percussion, respectively, and his sister, Cristina, as vocalist and folk dancer.

Joined by pianist Julio Valdes and percussionist Victor Tapia, the sextet delivers sumptuously polyrhythmic Afro-Cuban chants and surging Cuban jazz. ANDREW GILBERT

CUBAN-JAZZ

Just because it’s nice and smooth doesn’t mean it’s yacht rock, so put your skipper hat down. Sometimes good alt-music just sounds untroubled and effortless. Grizfolk plays such songs: light, jangly, folksy rock tinged with electronic quips and danceable beats. Its kinda like getting that glitter eyeshadow on your lids without pouring it down your chest. No, wait, it’s more like a delicious, predictable coffee with an unexpected dollop of

LOS HERMANOS ARANGO An ensemble drawn from an illustrious Cuban musical clan, Los Hermanos Arango hail from the eastern town of Guanabacoa, a hotbed of Afro-Cuban culture. Launched in 2003 by bassist Feliciano Arango, a central figure in Cuban jazz and timba circles through his work

MUSIC

BE OUR GUEST HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS Emo was huge in the mid-2000s, and Dayton, Ohio, group Hawthorne Heights had a big hit in 2006 called “Saying Sorry.” It had all the emo ingredients: heavy guitar, hooky vocals, mellow breakdowns, a second vocalist adding some screaming, and of course, heavy emphasis on emotionally blunt lyrics. That was the scene in a nutshell, and Hawthorne Heights excelled at it.

The group have carried on long past the emo boom, touring and releasing albums—including last year’s Bad Frequencies—and still staying true to the group’s dynamic sound.

COMEDY

JACKIE KASHIAN It’s barely worth mentioning these days that a comedian has a podcast because, well, they all do. But Jackie Kashian has been doing hers, The Dork Forest, since 2006, so that seems worth a few accolades. On it, she dorks out with fellow comedians on whatever subject they’re obsessed with. It works really well because she is an actual dork. She’s so socially awkward she that the only reason she got married is because of online dating, or as she said in a 2017 appearance on Conan, “I am not good with men, but I am good with computers.

So I am married.” AC 7 and 9:30 p.m. DNA’S Comedy Lab, 155 S River St., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$25 door.

900-5123.

Raised in Australia, based in Jamaica, Nattali Rize hit the reggae scene in 2017 with her critically acclaimed solo debut Rebel Frequency. Rize and her ragtag crew have been recognized as part of ushering in the new era style of reggae, combining traditional island sounds with modern dancehall beats and a unifying message of peace, love and oneness.

MONDAY 8/5 ROCK

DYLAN MCDONALD Twenty years ago, Michael McDonald was the antithesis of cool. But things have taken an interesting turn as a new generation develops a taste for yacht rock. By the time Dylan McDonald started gigging, it was a point of pride to be the singer’s son. His band the Avians steer clear of smooth soft rock, focusing instead on more of an early-’70s Neil Young style sound. And Dylan’s voice sounds a bit like the famous ’60s folk singer he was most likely named after. AC 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $7. 429-6994.

Whimsical Irish comedy ‘Lost and Found’ delivers BY LISA JENSEN

I

n a season traditionally ruled by superheroes and mayhem, what a pleasure it is to discover a quiet, quirky little comedy like Lost and Found. In this Irish anthology of seven interconnected stories, the characters are refreshingly life-sized as their stories play out in and around the Lost and Found room at a suburban Irish train depot.

It was written and directed by Liam O Mochain, who also gives himself the featured role of Daniel, a new hire on the job whose story threads in and out of all the others.

Unlike other anthology stories like The Red Violin or The Yellow Rolls Royce,

the narrative doesn’t revolve around the fortunes of a single item as it passes from one owner to the next.

Rather, it centers on a handful of people going about their daily lives, whose small interactions gradually knit the larger story together.

Daniel works weekend nights tending bar at his uncle’s neighborhood pub. But for a day job, he applies to the Lost and Found department, a small outbuilding connected to the station. It’s his first day on the job, working alongside Joe (Brendan Conroy), a genial, feisty little leprechaun of a fellow who pretty much leaves Daniel on his own to sort out what to do with

items brought in from the passing trains—everything from a wallet and jewelry to a wooden leg and a gurgling baby in a pram.

Most of the characters who figure in the later stories are introduced in this opening sequence. The movie’s segments are divided by separate titles, like short stories, and as their plots unspool, the subject matter is sometimes tragic—death, illness, loss— but the movie never loses its whimsical sense of humor as it grapples with the foibles of human nature.

In “Ticket To Somewhere,” an extremely polite yet befuddled senior (Liam Carney) gradually arouses suspicion as he haunts

the platform, asking kind-heated travelers for help finding his lost ticket or his lost wallet so he can visit his ailing wife (and/or daughter) in hospital. It turns out to be a very moving story, especially when ticket-taker Moya (Norma Sheahan) comes on the scene.

Wistful family drama coincides with comedy in “The Tent,” in which Daniel attempts to fulfill a promise to his aging granny. As a 7-year-old girl, she was sent out of Poland by her family and relocated to Ireland in 1939. Asked to retrieve a childhood bracelet she had to bury in the backyard before she left, Daniel sets out to camp overnight in a field now belonging to a hospitable but understandably bewildered German couple.

In the funniest story, “The Proposal,” Daniel’s friend Gabriel (Seamus Hughes) plots a romantic vacation with his girlfriend Sile (Aoibhin Garrihy). But the details are top secret—he’s planning to pop the question in mid-flight—so even Sile doesn’t know where they’re going. And Gabriel’s desperate and increasingly futile attempts not to let anyone spoil the surprise— neither ticket clerk nor airport security—leads to a mounting cascade of comic catastrophes.

Another comic highlight is “Bar Makeover.” It’s the saga of Daniel’s slow-burning Uncle Podge (a very funny and irascible Donncha Crowley) and his dogged attempts to lure elusive customers by repeatedly changing his decor—from Tiki bar to Asian to Australian (renamed “Skippy’s,” with a kangaroo logo and an endless loop of “Tie Me Kangaroo Down” on the jukebox). He does finally fill the place up, but not in the way he expected.

Other stories concern a will and a wedding, but no spoilers here about those. Filmmaker O Mochain is a personable onscreen presence as Daniel, game in the face of whatever absurdity comes his way. He and the rest of this very deft cast—along with a buoyant, almost Klezmer-like soundtrack—keep things rolling along.

LOST & FOUND ***(out of four) With Liam O Mochain, Norma Sheahan and Brendan Conroy. Written and directed by Liam O Mochain. A Gravitas Ventures release. Not rated. 96 minutes.

MARIANNE & LEONARD: WORDS OF LOVE Though his most famous films are probably the conspiracy-baiting Kurt and Courtney and the flat-out terrible Biggie and Tupac, filmmaker-agitator Nick Broomfield has never actually been that good at making music documentaries. Conversely, I am still a bit haunted by some of his grittier, more compelling true-crime docs, like the two he made about Aileen Wuornos and the more recent Tales of the Grim Sleeper. He’s certainly the last person I’d expect to make a film chronicling Leonard Cohen’s relationship with Marianne Ihlen, who Cohen fans will know as the inspiration for “So Long, Marianne.”

Apparently, however, there is a personal aspect to the story for Broomfield, who briefly dated Ihlen, as well. You can bet it’ll come up in this film, possibly a lot! It’s the Broomfield way. (R) 102 minutes. (SP) SWORD OF TRUST In this comedy, Marc Maron of WTF podcast fame plays a pawn-shop owner who is brought a sword that may prove the South won the Civil War. Jillian Bell and Michaela Watkins co-star.

Directed by Lynn Shelton. (R) 88 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 groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE Quien es mas macho? Certainly not the sad-sack protagonist in Riley Stearns’ dark, subversive black comedy that skewers the popular notion of “manhood,” and the ridiculous lengths to which some go to pursue it. Jesse Eisenberg stars as a nerdy little guy who suffers humiliation and decides to reshape himself as a tough guy. Determined to stop being a victim who’s afraid of everything, he enrolls at a karate school run by a fierce alpha male (Alessandro Nivola), telling him,“I want to be what intimidates me.”

Some satirical bits are predictable (although still amusing), but as the journey becomes ever more brutal and surreal, it plays like a fever dream of Fight Club, as reimagined by Woody Allen. (R) 104 minutes. (LJ) CRAWL Kind of weird to see horror’s early-2000s wunderkind Alexandre Aja, who made the incredible High Tension and the less-incredible-butstill-a-big-deal-at-the-time remake of The Hills Have Eyes, slumming it with a B-level killer-croc variation on Jaws.

But considering that I will watch any and all variations on Jaws no matter how terrible (Orca, anyone? How about those god awful Italian ripoffs like Great White and Deep Blood?), the B-level killer-croc variety actually seems sort of classy! Starring Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper. (R) 87 minutes. (SP) ECHO IN THE CANYON 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 FAREWELL We all know what this year’s biggest blockbuster was.

What? Avengers: Endgame? Never heard of it. No, obviously I’m talking about The Farewell, which made more money at the domestic box office this year than any other film, including that one with the costume people you mentioned. Now, of course, this is only if you’re talking about per-theater average—The Farewell opened in four theaters with a record $87,833 haul per screen (Avengers’ was $76,601 across 4,662 theaters). But still, it’s kind of crazy that an art-house comedy-drama whose biggest star is Awkwafina from Crazy Rich Asians is breaking any kind of boxoffice record. Writer-director Lulu Wang’s story of a Chinese-American woman who travels back to China to visit her grandmother with a terminal diagnosis (which the family has decided to hide) is also a hit with critics, earning a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. (PG) 98 minutes. (SP) THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO This first feature from director Joe Talbot is based on a story he concocted with his longtime friend and fellow San Francisco native, Jimmie Fails. It’s a remarkably assured and absorbing meditation on the mythology of the city’s fabled past while its characters—two young black men born and raised in the city—reckon with the uncertainty of its present. As a semi-autobiographical version of himself, Fails’ character is obsessed with a stately Victorian-style house built by his grandfather that his family no longer possesses. Jonathan Majors offers poignant support as his best friend in this dreamy, splendidly composed mood piece about the search for home and identity in the rapidly evolving city they love. (R) 120 minutes. (LJ) THE LION KING To anyone who thought there were no more trees for Disney to shake money out of, I give you what’s being sold as the latest in the company’s series of live-action remakes of hit cartoons. But the thing is, despite the fact that the computer-

generated images of its animal cast are photo-realistic, there’s nothing here that’s actually live action, is there? Nope, it’s literally a cartoon remake of a cartoon. Who knew “hakuna matata” actually translates to “milk it for all it’s worth?” Directed

by Jon Favreau. Featuring the voices of Donald Glover, John Oliver and James Earl Jones. (PG) 118 minutes. (SP) LOST AND FOUND Reviewed this issue. 96 minutes.

MAIDEN This documentary about Tracy Edwards, a charter-boat cook who became the captain of the first all-female crew to take on the Whitbread Round the World Race, takes place in a dark time, long ago, when the world was horribly sexist.

Okay, it was 1989, and yeah, sexism hasn’t really gotten much better. All the more reason to enjoy these lady sailors seriously kicking everyone’s ass. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) ONCE UPON A TIME … IN HOLLYWOOD There was a lot of outrage when Quention Tarantino announced his next movie would include the story of the Manson murders. Apparently, people thought it might glorify Manson, a concern that the casting of beady-eyed Damon “Let Me Be Your Creepy Guy” Herriman in the role should have allayed. Also, this is the filmmaker who killed off Hitler and gave Southern slave owners their comeuppance— fulfilling revenge fantasies is kinda his thing. It’ll be interesting to see how he works this true-crime angle into a fictional story of over-the-hill TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) in the fading days of 1960s Hollywood. Co-starring Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell and Al Pacino. (R) 161 minutes. (SP) STUBER Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista recently said he won’t do Fast and the Furious movies because, “I’d rather do good ones.” Judging from the trailers for Stuber, this is a brand-new policy he came up with after making it. In this action comedy, he plays a cop who drafts unwilling Uber driver Kumail Nanjiani into his operations. I don’t know which of these things is worse: someone watching Karan Soni’s role

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

Starring Himesh Patel and Lily James (PG-13) 116 minutes. (LJ)

Theater Bites New picnic fare at Santa Cruz Shakespeare BY CHRISTINA WATERS

G

rab a glass of chilled Birichino Malvasia Bianca and an avocado and jack cheese sandwich from The Buttery, and enjoy the spectacular view from the picnic tables overlooking the Monterey Bay. You’re at the Delaveaga Grove, where Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s 2019 season now includes tasty food offerings and a brand new wine and beer bar, featuring the wares of such local favorites as Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard, Sones Cellars, Birichino, and others.

Some nice choices of light meals

you can enjoy with your theater date while perched on one of the 22 picnic tables with views the folks in Iowa would kill for: the Buttery’s Cobb salad, a chicken-romaine classic, a turkey and swiss sandwich, and more. Perhaps a coffee and something from Pacific Cookie Company will hold you all the way through the second act.

Of course you can stop by and order items at the concession window, or simply pick up a glass of wine—the handsome stemless glassware comes engraved with Santa Cruz Shakespeare on the

bowl ($3 extra). Nicer than plastic.

Or you can have your order waiting for you. Here’s how that works: Preorder fresh sandwiches and salads when you purchase your tickets, and your food items will be waiting for you at the concession area, better known as the Q-Hut Café, as early as 90 minutes before the show.

I tasted my way through a galaxy of new-school wines from a new generation of Santa Cruz Mountain winemakers at a brilliant little Soif event last weekend. On offer were not only dozens of fresh-edge ideas in locally made wines—natural methods, unexpected sources and very low-intervention craft—but eight winemakers themselves, pouring and charming the tasting crowd. Practicing their rockstar marketing moves, the young oenologists were happy to explain what they were up to. Very exciting.

Ryan Stirm was one of the assembled who works, shares and conceptualizes collaboratively with his colleagues, trading technical know-how, experiments and grapes to refine each others’ vintages. A favorite was Stirm Wine’s 2017 KickOn Vineyard Riesling ($24), with a gorgeous ginger ale nose and 13.5% alcohol gravitas. “It was a ripe year,” he grinned. “Next year’s Riesling will be much lower alcohol.” I was fine with this well-balanced structure.

Equally impressive was a 2018 Clarksburg Chenin Blanc made by Megan Bell of Margin Wines, using grapes sourced entirely from the Santa Cruz Mountain appellation.

Brimming with the lively acidity you expect from this grape, it offered a floral opening leading to green apples, gardenia and quince, all in ultra-light, crisp 12% alcohol ($28).

You’ll find Margins Wines at Bad Animal, The Cremer House Home, Vinocruz, and of course at Soif.

I was smitten with Madson Wines’ PM Staiger Vineyard Chardonnay 2016. At 13.1% alcohol, it’s a racy, non-oaked beauty ($32). Light, grape-driven, sustainably-made, experimental, and lower alcohol seem to be this generation’s motifs.

These are feisty, often-elegant creations well worth searching out.

Also impressive was an excellent new school 2017 Moonmilk Chardonnay (not oily or heavily oaked) from Florez Wines, made by James Jelks from Scotts Valley grapes. Perfection at under 13% alcohol.

Chica is extremely friendly, good with kids and other cats.

She’s in excellent health. If you can provide a home for her, please let me know. My deadline is August 26th. If I can’t find a home, she’ll have to go to the Santa Cruz Shelter.

I’m hoping that will not be the case.

ooking for some celebratory bubbly that will knock your socks off? Look no further than Lester Family Vineyards Rosé of Syrah (about $30). Sparklingpink excellence encapsulated in a bottle just about sums it up. With its enticing ruby color and bold, delicious flavors, this dry sparkling wine is delectable pleasure—perfect to crack open for any special occasion.

My husband and I met with friends at Cantine Winepub recently, and the four of us shared a bottle of Lester’s Rosé of Syrah.

Refreshing and clean, with brisk acidity and subtle minerality, we all loved its bright red fruit up front, raspberry being the dominant note.

Winemaker John Benedetti has produced this impressive sparkler, and recommends pairing it with Korean pork, salmon and grilled shrimp. I recommend pouring a glass and just kicking back.

Lester Family Vineyards is open for tasting from 1-5 p.m. on the first two Saturdays of the month. A tasting includes five wines for $20, and you can also reserve a gourmet picnic to go along with it. The

winery is now doing a safari wine adventure in a restored 1981 Land Rover Defender. For $75 you get to tour the bucolic 210-acre property, enjoy a delicious gourmet picnic and taste “The Big 6” Lester estate wines. Check the website for more information and reservations.

BRITISH WINE AND SPIRITS Although most of the wine consumed in the U.K. is imported, there is now quite a thriving market for locally made wines. I was in England (the land of my birth) recently for a couple of weeks visiting friends and family— and enjoyed quite a few glasses of British-made wines. Although the weather is very unpredictable (to put it mildly), warmer counties in the south of England, such as Sussex, are producing some excellent wine, especially sparkling. I also downed some British gin with a dash of elderflower at the Hurlingham Club in Central London, where my husband and I were invited guests.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LEO—LEARNING HOW TO BE LEADERS We begin the astrological week with Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars in Leo, the sign of the golden lion and the sign in which we praise, recognize, honor, applaud, extol, commend, admire, speak well of, give credit, and pay tribute to everyone during the entire Leo month—especially Leos who need all of these to properly advance, progress, develop, and evolve.

Leo is about being creative and receiving recognition in the full light and grace of their creativity. This recognition helps develop their identity.

The key to Leo is “I am (exist) because (through what) I create.” If we created t-shirts for each sign, the Leo t-shirt would read: “For

my evolutionary growth and well-being, and even if I act at first like a benevolent dictator, please be patient with me. And praise, recognize and admire me constantly.

I am learning how to be a creative leader.”

This information is especially important for parents and teachers of Leo children in order to understand their behaviors, know what their tasks are and help focus Leo’s fiery creative nature.

Someday the world will understand the tasks, gifts, purpose, journey and sufferings of all 12 signs. For now, those reading this who understand can begin to change and bring understanding to the world—one Leo at a time.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Being creative may not be your most important selfidentity. Initiating things is. However, creativity is hounding you every minute, and for weeks to come you’ll be called to new productive endeavors. You will respond to all changes coming your way in terms of how you’re recognized, and who you may think you are, which is limited, because you’re much more than that. Observe everything. Your path has power and purpose.

You hop (drive?) between home and work, wondering how to gracefully balance both areas of life. Emotions pull you home, responsibilities call from work. Although constantly changing, you’re warm and safe at home (wherever and whatever home is for you now). However, a magnetic pull calls you to work, often overtime. Daily life seems ever-so-complicated and ever-shifting. You can’t count on anything consistent. You’re learning how to navigate the waters of change. You’ll be the captain when everything falls down.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of July 31, 2019

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Home and everything connected with home must hold your focused attention, for there is much to be done there. I will also tell you that your digestion may be going through difficult times, so you need to be very careful of your diet. Enzymes, probiotics, acidophilus, and Calcium Phos (homeopathic) are some or all of what’s needed to tend to your sensitive digestion. Maintain adequate electrolytes and water.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Many Geminis have contacted me this week concerning what I wrote for their sign. The reason for reading everything I write is to gather enough esoteric wisdom for your esoteric journal (which you are to create) so you can begin to have the framework within that unifies polarities through your ability to love (Ray 2), which happens when enough information has been gathered.

When love happens, then wisdom comes forth, too (your tasks in the coming times). For now, you’re to study, create your journal and ponder on these things.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Try not to plunge carelessly into anything, including other people’s lives. Maintain poise within the constant daily variations of reality. Your work, home, values are shifting. As you evaluate all communications, home is both dissolving and later coming together, and a new creativity is on the horizon.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 What’s written for Scorpio applies to you. However, you’re in a state that’s even more difficult, for it seems your entire inner-self is being excavated so that whoever you really are can be brought forth. You can think of yourself as a found object of art, strangely beautiful and made of parts shiny, luminous and deeply intelligent. It’s good to think of yourself in this way, for it contains hope and virtue, light amidst darkness, solitude within the crowd.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 There’s something you want; a change of place, of venue, of work, of things in life deeply needed. Use your kitchen or dining room table as your workshop. Tape down large sheets of paper, gather the family, have lots of colored pens and pencils available, and begin as a family (or group of friends) to draw in detail what you want/need. Do this as an exercise each day/evening.

Don’t miss a day. You are bringing what you need into form and matter. You will teach manifestation. This is what magic actually is. Disciples are White Magicians.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Happy Birthday, Leo. The Sun’s light illuminates and brings you something new and golden, wanted and loved. The past, present and future all show up for your birthday, providing you with the opportunity to work on forgiveness, have gratitude, value every experience, and at the end offer (internally) love to everyone encountered in your life. There is an added amount of courage being offered to you, and a momentum to move forward into a deeper level of creativity.

You are blending, merging and adapting your life into an art form through your various creative endeavors. We come into incarnation hoping to fulfill our tasks (different each lifetime). Then in one particular lifetime, we begin to live within our particular gifts. We become happy and joyful and life feels luminous. This is an Initiation, an inner spiritual growth phase. It’s the path of Ray 7, the ray star of Aquarius’s ruler Uranus. You then bring humanity a revolution of beauty.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 As you begin things and are held back over and over (Mercury retrograde in its shadow), go slow and let yourself rest a bit so that your inner-self (physical body, emotions and mind) can restructure itself. This creates a new mind with new thoughts, visions, ideas, and realities. We all need this reorientation (and slowing down) several times in our lives, so new values and new inner-resources can be impressed on us from on high.

Contemplation of these things provides relief.

Communication may feel more difficult, and you may in response feel anger and frustration. Simultaneously, others could be acting out those feelings for you. You may be focused on money, finances and resources.

Your pride in what you have makes you want to share it, and this is good. Your resources allow different ways of tithing. Whatever you give opens a gate and always what you give is returned tenfold. That’s a cosmic law.

Returning to our conversation…about the shift in the market both in Santa Cruz and on the Silicon Valley side of the hill. And why what’s happening over “there” is usually a good indicator of how the market “here” will trend in the future.

For better or worse, the two areas are intimately connected when it comes to the three things people say are their biggest concerns: housing, jobs, traffic. The order of importance may vary, depending on who you talk to, but the relationship between the three is inexorable. Each drives the other two in myriad ways.

The real estate relationship between the two sides evolved significantly during the 1980s.

That’s when our local’s curse of “Valley Go Home” evolved into more of a “Valley Come Home” concern. Santa Cruz was transitioning into more of a bedroom community for the tech economy in and around San Jose. More of “them” started to become “us”.

Seagate, Borland and SCO were big employers back then, but over time most local tech companies realized they’d have to move closer to the epicenter of the job market to sustain themselves long term. It was harder to get people living over there to work over here than it was to get people living here to work over there. Houses were more expensive “there” but jobs paid much better than “here”.

The pace of real estate in the late ‘80s was astonishing. It felt like a modern day gold rush.

Things flew off the market and prices pushed up, in part, due to low start rate adjustables, negative amortizing loans and an appetite for leverage. Everyone said we’d never see a market like that again.

As prices rose to unprecedented levels, fewer local people could afford houses. More people working over “there” began buying “here”. They discovered that crazy Santa Cruz prices were still a lot lower than in places like Los Gatos. The devil’s bargain was a longer commute. “Drive a little and save a lot,” as the commercial says.

In the early ‘90s the market went through a recession. Think inflation, the savings and loan debacle, significant job layoffs and the immortal campaign phrase that defeated Bush: “it’s the economy, stupid.” I used to say that real estate was between Iraq and a hard place back then.

As jobs there dipped, prices over there did too. Here, we experienced the first of a series of cyclical contractions. We had a lot fewer buyers when people working in tech starting gravitating back over the hill to live. That migration back had a disproportionate effect on how low prices dropped in Santa Cruz around 15-20% at the time.

We’ll pick up the fractured history lesson next week.

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

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

Hobbies: Photography, reading,

You see Shopper’s as an important community business? Definitely. Shopper’s stands for longevity, consistency and quality.

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

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