OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE If I had to guess, I’d put the number of stories about yoga that have been run in GT over the years somewhere between 84 and 1 million. The fact that it’s undoubtedly closer to the higher estimate speaks to just how big a part of the Santa Cruz community yoga has become. But despite all those yoga stories, I’ve never seen one like Steve Kettmann’s cover piece this week. There’s the obvious eyebrow-raising concept of yoga being paired with political action, sure, but I also think there’s a deeper difference. All of the

INDIVISIBLE ON DEMOCRATS

Re: “In Defense of Dems” (Letters, 3/20): During an interview with Wallace Baine for Good Times, I made a statement that I want to clarify. In speaking about the grassroots involvement in the 2018 election to swing the House of Representatives, I stated that the grassroots efforts to swing seats happened in some cases despite what I referenced as “the Party.” I realize now that even though I was making a very specific reference, this didn't come across in my quote and I would like to clarify. When I made the reference to “the Party,” I was making reference to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and not the local chapter of the Democratic Party, the Santa Cruz County Democratic Central Committee. I apologize for my lack of clarity on this, and I can understand how this might have been incorrectly interpreted. Santa Cruz Indivisible has worked with both the Santa Cruz County Democratic Central Committee, as well as some of its constituent Democratic Party clubs in the area, and we have had productive and positive experiences in doing so. The Democratic and progressive community in Santa Cruz has a very rich and long history of doing great work, and as newcomers,

stories we’ve run celebrated yoga as an exercise or meditation or some other aspect of what it is. But this is the first one I can remember that actually questioned what yoga should be. Can it only be an inward-looking experience that brings enrichment to an individual? Or does it have the potential to inspire action that enriches the larger community? It’s an interesting question that I hadn’t thought about before, but reading what the practitioners Kettmann spoke to had to say about it gave me an entirely new perspective on the possibilities. And that seems right in line with the principles of yoga. It’s easy to forget that the practice is not just about body postures; this article is a great reminder.

we have great respect for the past and current work being done by so many dedicated individuals. Many of us in Santa Cruz Indivisible are proud Democrats, and we hope to continue to participate as an additional resource and voice in the community. We will continue to support the overall efforts of Democratic Party and progressive groups in the area. Together, the grassroots and the national and local Democratic Party groups worked towards the same goals to flip the House of Representatives, and thankfully we were all successful in doing so. Hopefully, we can further our combined success into 2020.

DANCING SCENE

NEEDED A LIFT

This weekend, more than 100 youth will dress up and attend a night of celebration free of discrimination against sexual orientation or gender identity. The Diversity Center’s Youth Program will host an LGBTQ+ prom for high school students throughout Santa Cruz County on Friday, May 3, in the First Christian Church gymnasium at 15 Madison St., Watsonville. There will be a suggested $5 donation at the door. For more information, contact Ashlyn Adams at 425-5422 x104 or youth@diversitycenter.org.

The Lift Line Paratransit Dial-A-Ride Program, operated by Community Bridges, announced that it’s replacing two gas-powered shuttles with 16-seat electric shuttles equipped with wheelchair lifts, thanks to funding from California Climate Investments. Watsonville gets special priority for some environmental funding because two of its census tracts are listed as “disadvantaged communities” by the state due to health struggles in the area. The new shuttles can drive an average of 60100 miles without needing a charge.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: HOUSING PRICES Jacob Pierce, please do not recite the falsehood that building luxury (aka “marketrate”) condos will lead to more affordability. This notion is a classic form of trickle-down aka “voodoo” economics, which has never been true and never will be. In some cases, building luxury condos has no impact on the local market. But in many cases, it has a negative impact because whenever it happens in a less-desirable neighborhood, it leads to an increase in rents for neighbors as speculation and luxury demand rises.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of May 1 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 “How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies,” wrote Henry David Thoreau. “How slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Your first assignment in the coming days, Aries, is to devote yourself to quenching the hunger and thirst of your soul with the same relentless passion that you normally spend on giving your body the food and drink it craves. This could be challenging. You may be less knowledgeable about what your soul thrives on than what your body loves. So your second assignment is to do extensive research to determine what your soul needs to thrive.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 I invite you to explore the frontiers of what’s possible for you to experience and accomplish. One exercise that might help: visualize specific future adventures that excite you. Examples? Picture yourself parasailing over the Mediterranean Sea near Barcelona, or working to help endangered sea turtles in Costa Rica, or giving a speech to a crowded auditorium on a subject you will someday be an expert in. The more specific your fantasies, the better. Your homework is to generate at least five of these visions.

GEMINI May21–June20 “We must choose between the pain of having to transcend oppressive circumstances, or the pain of perpetual unfulfillment within those oppressive circumstances,” writes mental health strategist Paul John Moscatello. We must opt for “the pain of growth or the pain of decay,” he continues. We must either “embrace the tribulations of realizing our potential, or consent to the slow suicide in complacency.” That’s a bit melodramatic, in my opinion. Most of us do both; we may be successful for a while in transcending oppressive circumstances, but then temporarily lapse back into the pain of unfulfillment. However, there are times when it makes sense to think melodramatically. And I believe now is one of those times for you. In the coming weeks, I hope you will set in motion plans to transcend at least 30% of your oppressive circumstances.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 You Cancerians can benefit from always having a fertility symbol somewhere in your environment: an icon or image that reminds you to continually refresh your relationship with your own abundant creativity; an inspiring talisman or toy that keeps you alert to the key role your fecund imagination can and should play in nourishing your quest to live a meaningful life; a provocative work of art that spurs you to always ask for more help and guidance from the primal source code that drives you to reinvent yourself. So if you don’t have such a fertility symbol, I invite you to get one. If you do, enhance it with a new accessory.

MAY 1-7, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

In my horoscopes, I often speak to you about your personal struggle for liberation and your efforts to express your soul’s code with ever-more ingenuity and completeness. It’s less common that I address your sacred obligation to give back to life for all that life has given to you. I only infrequently discuss how you might engage in activities to help your community or work for the benefit of those less fortunate than you. But now is one of those times when I feel moved to speak of these matters. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial to perform specific work on behalf of a greater good. Why crucial? Because your personal wellbeing in the immediate future depends in part on your efforts to intensify your practical compassion.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “We are whiplashed between an arrogant overestimation of ourselves and a servile underestimation of ourselves,” writes educator Parker Palmer. That’s the bad news, Virgo. The good news is that you are in a prime position to escape from the whiplash. Cosmic forces are conspiring with your eternal soul to coalesce a well-balanced vision of your true value that’s free of both vain misap-

prehensions and self-deprecating delusions. Congrats! You’re empowered to understand yourself with a tender objectivity that could at least partially heal lingering wounds. See yourself truly!

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 The country of Poland awards medals to couples that have stayed married for 50 years. It also gives out medals to members of the armed forces who have served for at least 30 years. But the marriage medal is of higher rank, and is more prestigious. In that spirit, I’d love for you to get a shiny badge or prize to acknowledge your devoted commitment to a sacred task—whether that commitment is to an intimate alliance, a noble quest or a promise to yourself. It’s time to reward yourself for how hard you’ve worked and how much you’ve given.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath wrote, “I admit I desire,/ Occasionally, some backtalk/From the mute sky.” You’ll be wise to borrow the spirit of that mischievous declaration. Now is a good time to solicit input from the sky, as well as from your allies and friends and favorite animals, and from every other source that might provide you with interesting feedback. I invite you to regard the whole world as your mirror, your counselor, your informant.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In January 1493, the notorious pirate and kidnapper Christopher Columbus was sailing his ship near the land we now call the Dominican Republic. He spotted three creatures he assumed were mermaids. Later he wrote in his log that they were “not half as beautiful as they are painted.” We know now that the “mermaids” were actually manatees, aquatic mammals with flippers and paddle-shaped tails. They are in fact quite beautiful in their own way, and would only be judged as homely by a person comparing them to mythical enchantresses. I trust you won’t make a similar mistake, Sagittarius. Evaluate everything and everyone on their own merits, without comparing them to something they’re not.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 “I want what we all want,” writes novelist Jonathan Lethem. “To move certain parts of the interior of myself into the exterior world, to see if they can be embraced.” Even if you haven’t passionately wanted that lately, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon. That’s a good thing, because life will be conspiring with you to accomplish it. Your ability to express yourself in ways that are meaningful to you and interesting to other people will be at a peak.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Using algorithms to analyze 300 million facts, a British scientist concluded that April 11, 1954, was the most boring day in history. A Turkish man who would later become a noteworthy engineer was born that day, and Belgium staged a national election. But that’s all. With this non-eventful day as your inspiration, I encourage you to have fun reminiscing about the most boring times in your own past. I think you need a prolonged respite from the stimulating frenzy of your daily rhythm. It’s time to rest and relax in the sweet luxury of nothingness and emptiness.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The Blue Room is a famous Picasso painting from 1901. Saturated with blue hues, it depicts a naked woman taking a bath. More than a century after its creation, scientists used X-rays to discover that there was an earlier painting beneath The Blue Room and obscured by it. It shows a man leaning his head against his right hand. Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield says that there are some people who are, “like a painting hidden beneath another painting.” More of you Pisceans fit that description than any other sign of the zodiac. You may even be like a painting beneath a painting beneath a painting—to a depth of five or more paintings. Is that a problem? Not necessarily. But it is important to be fully aware of the existence of all the layers. Now is a good time to have a check-in.

housing more affordable, they would ban all Airbnb and vacation rentals and only allow luxury housing to be built in the most expensive neighborhoods. They would also need to follow the lead of Vancouver and impose high taxes on any foreigner seeking to buy property here. Lastly, they’d need to use the money raised to buy up many of the more affordable apartments and old homes, including unpermitted conversions, and establish them as permanent public housing.

Last but not least, our local leaders need to organize with other state and federal-level politicians to put an end to the government pumping so much research and contract money into West Coast colleges and tech companies (what created and still nourishes Silicon Valley). Any civilized country that doesn’t relish inequality would be investing in struggling metropolitan areas, not in the pricey ones. — TOMMY

Stake Out As the Ross encampment appears to near its end, five key things about the homeless debate BY JACOB PIERCE

yron Beasley has been crashing at the camp between Highway 1 and the Ross department store on and off over the past week, after hearing about it via word of mouth. He finds the other campers friendly, the camp itself dirty and the constant drug use disturbing. “It’s good in some ways, but it’s really depressing. There’s a constant ruckus,” Beasley says on a recent afternoon as the sun descends behind the huddle of tents. Beasley, 27, is known around

the camp as “Alabama,” after his home state. When his family kicked him out of the house back home, Beasley’s stepmother, who used to live in Santa Cruz, offered to buy him a one-way Greyhound bus ticket to the West Coast. He took her up on it. Beasley notes that the Ross camp has just seven portable toilets and no showers. Campers can often be seen washing their faces and hair in the plastic sinks by the camp. He suggests that maybe the camp council, a group of residents who’ve

managed the camp challenged the evictions, could have outside group step up and run the camp. The status of the camp has been unclear for more than a week. After failed mediation sessions in San Jose, a federal judge ruled Monday that the city of Santa Cruz could proceed with evictions. Santa Cruz has been planning to reopen a cityrun camp at 1220 River St. in May to supplement shelter options, though critics of the city’s approach have asked if the 60 tents in that camp will even come close >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 1-7, 2019

At the Children’s Museum of Discovery, volunteer Executive Director Patrice Keet tells me that one of the county’s “best-kept secrets” is the fact that this kid-oriented space nestled in the Capitola Mall needs money to stay alive. The Museum of Discovery (MOD) is something of a mini-Exploratorium: interactive exhibits on science, music, art, cooking, and ecology are interspersed with games offering cognitive development perks. The nonprofit project was built from the ground up by Keet’s family. Her husband Bob, a doctor, created many of the exhibits, and her niece Bonnie is a co-founder. The word “sustainability” often evokes ideas like climate change and composting, but MOD’s Sustainability Campaign refers to a newly launched effort to make sure the museum continues to exist. On a recent Community Saturday, a free admission day courtesy of a sponsor, parents of young children expressed appreciation for the space. “It’s such a unique experience. It serves a need unlike anything else in town,” says Chris Sheehy, an Aptos father of two. “You can lose track of your kid for three minutes and not freak out.” “We love it. It’s a great place for Santa Cruz to have,” adds Emily Calmette of Aptos, visiting with her husband, Ray, and their almost-2-year-old. “Her grandmother brings her,” Ray says of the couple’s daughter. “She loves the pizza-making oven.” A tiny Pizza My Heart parlor is set up near the front of the museum, featuring mini booths and supplies for imaginative pizza-making play. As a relatively new mom and full-time writer, I can see the merits. I’m writing this at one of the museum’s parent benches, after I unleashed my little ones in the museum’s fenced-in toddler zone. “Even with all the traffic and business, donors are needed,” Keet explains from her seat in the classroom, the shelves behind her stocked with art supplies. Kids’ paintings and collages line the walls. The campaign’s goals are to bring in >14

to meeting the need. City Manager Martín Bernal wrote in a March 25 letter that the Ross camp’s overnight population was about 100, maybe less. Some activists, campers and councilmembers have pegged the true number at double that or more. With its closure presumably around the corner, here’s a list of five things to know about the Ross camp and homelessness in Santa Cruz.

1. IT’S A SAFETY RISK As of this past Thursday, the fire department had been called to the camp 88 times since Nov. 1. There have been three fires, including one that destroyed a tent. None have spread from one tent to the next, which is lucky, says Fire Chief Jason Hajduk, given that so many tents are squeezed tightly against one another. Many have tarps strung over them, often making it unclear where one tent ends and another begins. “The potential is great for fire to spread from one to another without interruption,” he says. Hajduk has called the camp “a

recipe for disaster,” in part because of the cooking and heating devices that campers operate in their tents, against the fire department’s advisement. Many campers have also lifted their tents onto wooden pallets, which could pose additional fire hazards, especially now that the weather’s heating up. The pallets have also created a rat habitat. Santa Cruz County Health Officer Arnold Leff has warned that the camp could be susceptible to a disease outbreak that could spread to the community at large. In a March 9 letter, he advocated for City Council to close the camp as soon as possible.

2. IT’S HOME Desieire Quintero, who’s lived at the Ross camp for going on half a year, says it wasn’t her idea to move in. She says she had been living in the Pogonip when a team of firefighters, park rangers and police officers came by her tent this past November and told she would have to clear out because of fire danger. She says they suggested that she try camping in the Ross camp. “I didn’t want to

be out here. It was a situation that made me come out here, but I’m not ashamed,” she says. One of the plaintiffs in the federal case against the city, Quintero says the camp has its issues, but she feels law enforcement and county health employees could better work to get involved with cleaning the camp without kicking everyone out. In the encampment, residents say they look out for one another. “There’s some assholes here,” Quintero says. “Every barrel has a few bad apples, but the majority of people here are good people. This is the safest place you can come right now. Any woman who’s homeless can come here right now, and we’ll find a spot for them because this is the safest place for them to be.”

3. IT DOESN’T COME CHEAP Clean-ups and day-to-day responses to homelessness can run up a big tabs. The city of Santa Cruz has seen an increase in costs related to dealing with homelessness day-to-day over the past >14

PRIZE UP

COMMUNITY SPONSORS

SCEARTHDAY.ORG

UCSC has been crowing about one of its own alumni, Jeffery Stewart, taking home a 2019 Pulitzer Prize for The New Negro: The Life of Alain Locke, a definitive biography of the father of the Harlem Renaissance. The meticulously researched book explores Locke’s professional and private life—starting with his early education all the way through his time promoting the literary and artistic work of African Americans. Now a professor at UC Santa Barbara and chair of its Black Studies Department, the 1971 UCSC philosophy grad has spent his career studying

race and culture as they relate to art, history, literature, music, and philosophy. Stewart is the seventh UCSC alum to win a Pulitzer, and this the ninth such award taken home by a UCSC alum. (Journalists Dana Priest and Martha Mendoza have each won two.) Perhaps the school would have produced even more winners had it not cut its journalism minor a decadeand-a-half ago? But you know what college administrators say: Honor and prestige? Yeah, that’s great and all, but nothing’s more fun than cutting humanities and social science programs!

PARKING ISSUE Police officers and park rangers have noticed that ever since the Ross camp opened, many of the homeless impacts elsewhere in the city have decreased. City employees say they have been finding less trash in many areas and fewer encampments. It’s odd because much of the discourse around the camp is that it’s turning the entire Central Coast into a dystopian hell hole, à la District 9. Residents of the camp, which is now slated to close partly over health concerns, have noticed the targets on their backs. Campers say that opponents have been driving

by repeatedly at odd hours blaring their horns or setting off fireworks—as if the whole homeless issue was a childish Little Rascals-esque battle and not a complex policy mess. At the risk of sounding like the adult in the room here, many of the public safety hawks who’ve been criticizing the encampment might want to acknowledge that there have likely been benefits to the camp in other neighborhoods. Meanwhile, some of the activists who’ve been clamoring to keep the camp open might want to avoid denying the very real public safety risks that the Ross camp poses to the very people it purports to protect.

bigger donors and raise capital for a fulltime executive director, and a donor has pledged a $25,000 matching grant. Keet estimates that two-thirds of visitors are members (memberships pricing is tiered, with annual fees from $60-$250), and walk-ins round out the crowd. When MOD first opened four-and-a-half years ago, Keet, who has a Montessori degree and four grandchildren, was moving on from her full-time career as a family therapist. The Museum of Discovery, she says, fulfills her vision for “enriching multigenerational opportunities.” The small team tested exhibits from a “mobile museum” in their cars. Keet, who is originally from the Adirondacks and has lived in Santa Cruz for more than 40 years, spent a lot of time seeking an ideal location. She settled on a space in the mall for its accessibility in the center of the county. She and her family built the MOD with grants and persistence. Today, the museum features “all the wonders of Santa Cruz County,” Keet says.

“Agriculture, technology, the redwoods, the ocean—our focus is local.” Keet also brought in former MAH resident artist and founder of the nonprofit Puppetry Institute Ricki Vincent to offer puppetry workshops. Lead teacher Katie Knight holds infant and toddler classes designed by an early childhood education professor at Cabrillo. “‘Rolling motion’ was our theme for April,” Knight says at the front desk. “May is ‘light and shadow,’ so toys and cognitive activities will go around that. We give handouts about the developmental aspects of each activity.” MOD also sponsors memberships for low-income families. Keet says she doesn’t want any child to look through the windows without being able to enter. Capitolabased attorney Edward W. Newman provides a grant for such memberships. “I was enthusiastic because access to MOD is a great advantage for any child, and should not be denied for economic reasons,” Newman told GT in an email. “We have helped about 150 families enjoy memberships each of the last three years. For us, it is about helping make a level playing field.”

As the museum prepares to move onto its next stage, Keet, too, begins a new chapter: she will focus on writing a memoir on her experience as a foster parent. MOD will send her off with an adults-only extravaganza on June 8, a casino-riverboatthemed fundraiser featuring food and drink, aerial artists and a silent auction, with proceeds benefiting the museum. Keet has loved watching children grow up. “We meet pregnant moms, and then their kids are running around the museum. People meet here and form playgroups,” she says. “It’s serendipitous, a place to make friends. New parenthood can be isolating.” When Keet retires, Rhiannon Crain will step into the role of interim director, a move she is delighted to make after serving on the MOD board for six years. “It has been a pleasure to watch the museum unfold from just an idea to a true community-built entity with a real focus on kids,” says Crain.

year, according to Finance Director Marcus Pimentel. He says the police, fire department and parks department all ran up significant costs. “The level of service—police, service, overtime—was totally unexpected,” he says. Of course, not every dollar can be traced back to the Ross camp, but as of early April, Pimentel was projecting that the city would see a budget shortfall of $300,000$600,000 to close out the current fiscal year, which wraps up at the end of June. That’s despite a sales tax approved nearly a year ago to boost general fund revenue. There have been a number of overruns, many of them capital improvement projects, like improvements to West Cliff Drive, the Lifeguard Headquarters on the wharf and a restaurant at DeLaveaga Park. According to the city’s newlyreleased 2019-2020 budget, Santa Cruz is projected to wrestle with a general fund deficit of more than $3 million for the next fiscal year. The good news is that there’s now more money to go around to hopefully fund solutions in the future. This spring, the county’s Homeless Action Partnership, a coalition of nonprofit government leaders, announced the recipients of $10.6 million in funding, with allotments ranging from $1.4 million to purchase land for new facilities to $44,471 for the Smart Path to Housing and Health coordinated entry system.

4. A BETTER MODEL MAY BE IN THE WORKS With an eye toward cost, some activists are pushing for transitional encampments that would be partly run by volunteers and campers themselves. It’s an idea that the city’s currently studying. According to information compiled by volunteers for the nonprofit Warming Center, transitional models in Eugene and Seattle have been successful in getting campers into housing at a fraction of the cost of a more strictly managed approach, like the government-run camp that the city of Santa Cruz plans to reop at 1220 River St. >16

It often sounds like every group in Santa Cruz is miles apart on issues of homelessness. That may not be the case. All the infighting at City Council meetings may be obscuring an almost-forgotten reality. There’s actually a significant amount of buyin right now to tackle homelessness, making this moment potentially a very big one. It was less than two years ago that Santa Cruz’s Homelessness Coordinating Committee came back with recommendations that were largely praised by homeless advocates at the time. And a homelessness committee made up of Mayor Martine Watkins, Vice Mayor Justin Cummings and county supervisors Ryan Coonerty and Bruce McPherson has been meeting regularly. The Santa Cruz County Business Council even took a recent vote to weigh in on the topic. The business council’s position acknowledged that temporary shelters and encampments can be “important and perhaps necessary in specific instances,” but the council suggested that leaders prioritize collaboration, housing the homeless and building a navigation center to help the most needy access services. The Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce similarly supports new shelters that are more compatible with other social services. Casey Beyer, the chamber’s CEO, is ready to see change. He says that he sees more compassion than leadership from local governments. He compares them to people who keep hitting their heads against a wall and then ask why they’re feeling unwell. “Holistically, the community at large wants to do something to help, and they’re looking for a solution that people can get behind. I ask myself, ‘Where’s that leader?’” Beyer asks. “Can you think of a leader that wants to put their arms around homelessness and take ownership of solutions we all can support? There isn’t one.”

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | MAY 1-7, 2019

UP IN ARMS Valerie

ere’s one thing about yoga that keeps jumping out at me: It’s the last thing any of us could imagine Donald Trump ever attempting. A look within? That would scare the bejesus out of him. Seriously, the thought hits me all the time as I’m doing my best to move like seaweed in the current, rocking from cat to cow, cat to cow. I empty my mind and—Shazam!—there’s that Big-Brotherwith-a-comb-over sourpuss face staring back at me. Back in the last months before Trump, my older daughter Coco, then a toddler, was in the daycare room at Luma Yoga on Center Street in Santa Cruz, our regular yoga place. Coco came running out of the daycare room, and was soon pounding on the huge sliding wood door to the main yoga studio. Inside, Luma co-founder Valerie Moselle, just winding down a class, turned the disruption into a kind of teaching moment. “Focus on your breathing,” she told the group inside. “Forgive that interruption.” Everyone did their best not to feel annoyed by Coco’s pounding on the door. “And forgive Donald Trump,” Valerie added. It was an unexpected thing to say, but a great way to get people thinking. “When a child is acting out, it’s easy to forgive, because they are a child,” Moselle says now, recalling that day. “I remember in those weeks I was becoming active, and bringing some of the politics into my yoga class, inviting us to grapple with difficult feelings and consider how those feelings might motivate us into positive action. On the one hand, we can’t control what is happening. We can only be present. On the other hand, we have agency to act in the world. The question is: How? And with what kind of motivation? Do we act from a place of hate, anger or fear? Or can we work from a place of understanding our anger, hate and fear, couching that in favor of compassion and forgiveness, while still taking appropriate action against injustice?” It’s a hard one. We have to try forgiving, or risk forever churning in a vat of corrosive acid, and yet, we can never escape the Mobius Strip. Trump’s America is an alarm bell endlessly ding-ding-dinging. What good does it do to spend an hour on your breathing, all building up to that floating-off-the-ground feeling that kicks in at the end, if minutes after exiting a yoga class news of some new outrage jolts the blood pressure, and a wave of fresh anger obliterates any and all feeling of calm? For perspective, I turned to UC Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner, co-director of the Greater Good Science Center.

“I think there are two possibilities that flow out of the yogic tradition and East Asian thought,” says Keltner, a yoga practitioner for four decades. “One is the promising interpretation, which is that yoga, like the great contemplative traditions, allows you to listen to your mind, and in the mind are feelings of compassion and concern, and those motivate action, they prompt change and social action. The worrisome possibility is that yoga calms down the agitation and anger that we need to protest, and that has been shown empirically to lead to effective social change. The same is true for mindfulness. All these mindful retreats that I go to, are they making us too calm?” It comes back to an uncomfortable

question: What exactly is the point of yoga—and of mindfulness? Is it just to feel good? Or to feel better about ourselves? To count ourselves among the more knowing and the more tuned in? Or does the attempt at self-betterment ultimately include an element of bolstering ourselves to be stronger and more steadfast in standing for something, and in taking action?

POWER SURGE Yoga, familiar for years but suddenly more trendy, is seeing a surge in participation. According to an Ipsos study commissioned by Yoga Journal and the Yoga Alliance, more than 36 million Americans practiced yoga in 2016, up from 20.4 million in 2012. Over that same period, the number

Does the attempt at self-betterment ultimately include an element of bolstering ourselves to be stronger and more steadfast in standing for something, and in taking action? can’t just choose to lean on one side and say, ‘It will take care of itself.’ You have to do both.”

STATE OF MINDFULNESS I agree that clarity of mind is a precondition for taking meaningful social action, as opposed to just typing nonsense via social media or stewing in your own sense of frustration. I had my mind blown earlier this year when I had the chance to meet Congressman John Lewis at his offices on Capitol Hill. Maybe you saw Lewis, clubbed repeatedly by racists over the years, on the most recent Academy Award broadcast, talking up The Green Book. He’s a great American—our last, best link to the late Rev. Martin Luther King., Jr. I wasn’t thinking of yoga when I went into see Lewis, but the man’s style of listening reminded me of it; it was almost a kind of meditation, his eyes gently placed on mine, an easy smile animating his friendly curiosity, and an almost eerie sense of calm and quiet, as if he were focused 100% on me and every syllable I might care to share. He talked to me about learning from his spiritual teacher the Rev. Jim Lawson, recently returned to Nashville from an extended stay in India, who in the late 1950s tutored King, Lewis and other Civil Rights leaders on nonviolent civil disobedience and other principles then espoused by Gandhi. Later I read this in Lewis’ memoir Walking With the Wind: “I couldn’t have found a better teacher than Jim Lawson ... There was something of a mystic about him, something holy,

of male yoga practitioners went from 4 million to 10 million, and yoga participation among people 50 and older more than tripled. Yoga’s allure as practiced in the United States leans on its roots in India, an older civilization that we see as wiser and more grounded, with quotations from Mahatma Gandhi cropping up regularly. That’s cool, I’m down with Gandhi as a complex and fascinating figure, but given the India connection I always wonder why more yoga practitioners aren’t out practicing Gandhian civil disobedience and putting their lives on the line for social change? Sometimes it feels as if the energy that goes into yoga in fact diverts energy from the push for change. Is that unfair? Maybe. But it’s a question the community is facing— and it needs to come up with a better collective answer. “We teach ourselves to look inward for our intuition, to learn to feel truth through the body, but modern science tells us that our power of intuition is unreliable,” Moselle tells me. “Truth is very subjective. Lies are also concrete. One of the problems of modern yoga is … there is a desire among young people to be able to surrender to the universe, like: ‘I just feel that it’s right in my heart, and I’m just going to go with that.’ Or, ‘There has to be a reason, the universe is conspiring.’ All of this takes the responsibility off ourselves for acting in a productive way in our communities.” We can’t just feel our way through our lives, Moselle says. “Your left brain and your right brain need to work together. That’s what I’m talking about with integration. You

so gathered, about his manner, the way he had of leaning back in his chair and listening, really listening ... We discussed and debated every aspect of Gandhi’s principles, from his concept of ahimsa—the Hindu idea of nonviolent passive resistance—to satyagraha—literally, ‘steadfastness in truth,’ a grounding foundation of nonviolent civil disobedience, of active pacifism.” I didn’t ask Lewis about yoga. And I’ve been unable to reach the Rev. Jim Lawson, pastor emeritus at Holman United Methodist Church in Los Angeles, who is still going pretty strong at age 90, it seems, still talking about civil disobedience. “Part of my own quest for nonviolent action and struggle,” he told the Los Angeles Sentinel last year, “is to say

the survival of the human family is dependent upon us moving away from hatred and fear of life to loving life and loving one another and creating a better society. And the United States must lead the way!” I wrote a cover story for the Sunday Review section of The New York Times last summer on the Californization of U.S. politics, arguing that in countless ways California culture projected the future. “California’s raw economic power is old news,” I wrote, “What’s different, just in the past few years, is the combination of its money, population and politics. In the Trump era, the state is reinventing itself as the moral and cultural center of a new America.” That’s why I think a new yoga of

social commitment, not a radical new variation, just a shifting emphasis, will emerge with key contributions from yoga figures in Northern California like Valerie Moselle and many others. “I’ve been seeing yoga lately as a tool for integration,” she tells me. “We live in a world where our nervous system, our bodies, our psyches are challenged in a way that we probably weren’t evolved or born to be able to handle, so we have to act fast in order to be able to keep all of those systems functioning optimally.

For as long as people in the U.S. have heard about the Hindu practice of yoga, a Sanskrit word that literally means “union,” the emphasis was on empowerment. The first New York Times consideration of yoga, in October 1893, prattles on in what seems to be satirical fashion about how: “The Yoga is the science of the soul. It teaches a spiritual art which enables one to control physical forces. Through its holy sorcery you might say unto this house: ‘Be you removed into the depths of the sea,’ and it would be removed. … the power comes from meditation and concentration of the mind. One must posture in silence and abstraction. And this can best be attained, as I have said, by standing on one leg and looking at the tip of the nose. … Again there was silence, and the strain of muscles in posturing. Gradually lips that had twitched became set and eyes that had sparkled grew somber. Frivolity fled abashed, and in its stead came the anticipation and apprehension of the unknown. After all, something uncanny might happen, for was not everything—light, air, substance, existence itself—strange and fearful when seriously contemplated? … So, too, might not human actions start unreal consequences?” It’s very helpful to read of yoga being mocked back in the 19th century. One of the problems with yoga is that it seems inevitably to encourage a smug self-absorption. As Elspeth Reeve wrote in a generally incoherent rant against yoga for The Atlantic in 2012, “People who do yoga think they're better than you. Yoga people are the types who think it’s so great that a San Francisco yoga studio donated its used (yuck) yoga mats to Haiti to help homeless earthquake victims. They think people living in tents without running water need yoga mats.” Actually, people living in tents with or without running water might very well be happy to have yoga mats, used or not, to sleep on, much

more comfortable than sleeping on the ground. In fact, I’ve brought yoga mats on camping trips to throw down in a tent. Worked great. But the “better than you” charge carries some weight, which is why the real point of attempting to harness the power of yoga for more differencemaking is to start with a different attitude. Yes, let’s thank the universe, yes, let’s mouth Sanskrit phrases we don’t really understand, and do it with an air of high purpose, but yoga doesn’t have to mean pompous or self-absorbed. It doesn’t have to mean self-congratulating. Dacher Keltner would love to see California lead the way on a trend toward more overlap between yoga and social responsibility and social action. “I think it would be really interesting to launch a social-justice yoga studio,” he says. “You’d come in and do yoga and then it would be: Who is in need today? Afterward you could stop by and fix a faucet, or send money to help. One of the things I’m really excited about in the mindfulness world is that practitioners can teach it in places where there are yoga deserts. Figure out how to offer it. Teach yoga in prisons. Teach it to the military, as is increasingly happening. Take these tools that have been crafted for thousands of years and put them to use.” Those are good ideas. So is thinking about the Rev. Jim Lawson and the pivotal role of churches in pushing for social change. “Yoga is a spiritual practice,” Keltner says. “Southern churches have not shied away from political engagement. You could imagine an intentional commitment of the yoga movement where we would enable you to go out and canvass, here are some addresses, or give money or otherwise get involved. Right now, people are really hungry for alternative modes than polarization, and yoga could be a pathway to that. It might produce a different kind of discourse.”

Burning Man’s population each year, and that makes UnScruz a big deal each spring. This year, the regional event expands to four days for the first time and is expected to sell out its allotment of 1,500 tickets. Amber Coutts is an 18-year Burning Man vet and now Burning Man’s Santa Cruz regional contact. She said that UnScruz has evolved from a short “decompression” gathering shortly after the main event in Black Rock City to a celebration in its own right that rivals the county fair in bringing visitors to the Fairgrounds. “It really is like a slice of Burning Man,” she says. “It’s grown into this wonderful cultural thing in Santa Cruz. [In the beginning], it felt like people were showing up expecting to be entertained. But now it’s really grown into more of a Burning Manstyle environment where everyone is looking for some way to participate. It’s pretty wonderful to see people take ownership of their theme camps and their participation.” UnScruz is an opportunity for Burning Man communities to reconvene in a simulacrum of Black Rock City, with camps, large-scale art, effigy burning and a general sense of outside-the-mainstream celebration. It’s also a way for curious outsiders to take stock of what’s involved. “It’s the shallow end of the pool for people before getting into the Burning Man water,” says Coutts. “I mean, we have flushing toilets at UnScruz, which is a huge thing— indoor plumbing is sacred. Burning Man teaches you that kind of perspective.” Since its famously impromptu beginnings at Baker Beach in San Francisco in 1986, Burning Man has grown and evolved into one of the world’s most influential cultural movements and, like all such success stories, its growing pains have led to a lot of soul searching among the faithful. In recent years, the event has attracted not only bigger crowds but more affluent participants as well, creating a class of “millionaire camps” that threatens Burning Man’s egalitarian ethic. Coutts has staged her own protests against the class stratification at

Burning Man. A few years, she and a friend infiltrated one of the exclusive camps: “We went right up to the bar and people were asking us, ‘Where are your wrist bands?’ There is a kind of element of exclusion that felt really bizarre, which is exceptionally detrimental to the whole ethos we have at Burning Man.” It has become fashionable to lament Burning Man’s tilt toward Coachella-like mainstreaming. But, says Coutts, that dynamic will only accelerate if those who hold true to the community’s original ideals get discouraged and stop attending. “I always acknowledge the burn-out mentality where people get frustrated, ‘Oh, it was better last year, or 10 years ago, or 20 years ago,’” says Coutts. “But I also acknowledge that people need to come, and they need to acculturate others to give a crap and teach the Burning Man ways to make those people also care. Because, still, people who are the doers, makers and dreamers, being able to actualize those communities in that environment is very empowering.” One way Coutts is still able to summon the power and magic of Burning Man is to participate in a ritual every year, in which virgins are taken blindfolded out along the edge of Black Rock City at night. The blindfold is taken away, and the moment when the newcomer experiences the vastness of the makeshift city in the desert is photographed. “To take a picture of their faces as they witness for the first time a city created out of the dust,” she says, “it’s a magic moment. It’s in that moment of conversion. People have all these powerful insights, ideas and feelings. And you can watch it happen.” ‘UnScruz: Santa Cruz Burning Man Regional’ will be held Thursday through Sunday, May 2-5, at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, 2601 E. Lake Ave., Watsonville. Gate hours are Thursday noon-11 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m.-11 p.m.; Sunday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Tickets are $120, good for all four days and overnight tent camping. Children under 12 are free.

MUSIC

WAVE HELLO Partywave plays with former Santa Cruz DJ Pushloop at the Catalyst on Saturday, May 4.

Out of Left Field MAY 1-7, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Former Santa Cruz DJ Pushloop teams up with Partywave for a new bass style BY MAT WEIR

he friendship between electronic producers Partywave and Pushloop started out of mutual admiration. A year ago, they both played the underground electronic music festival Untz Festival in Mariposa. Partywave was an unannounced special guest, and the guy who went on right before him blew his mind. That was Pushloop, who started DJing in Santa Cruz in 2009, but now resides in Auburn. He had a similar reaction to Partywave, and says that after seeing each other’s sets they had an “instant bond.” “He makes some really vibe-y

beats, and always has great atmosphere and texture,” Pushloop says of his tourmate. Now, they’re close friends, influencing each other’s music and currently in the midst of an eightweek West Coast string of shows called the Elements Tour. They roll through the Catalyst here in Santa Cruz on Saturday May 4. Give one listen to either of the underground producer’s heavy beats and it’s easy to understand their bond. Both draw deeply from the West Coast Bass style, laying down alien noises as impenetrable beats float through a thick cloud of echoing psychedelic smoke. Once

upon a time, their individual sounds would’ve been called dubstep, but that’s such an overarching genre these days new labels are needed. Partwave already has a name for their particular sub-genre. “People have been calling it ‘Left Field Bass,’” Partywave says. It’s an apt name, with bone-rattling wobbles acting as a launching pad for their distinct melodic weirdness, sending audiences into a timedripping hole of sound. It’s fresh. It’s dance-y. It’s fun. It makes you feel like everything is melting without drugs. And apparently Left Field Bass is on the rise. The two have built an underground army of

followers, boasting a collective 23,000 Soundcloud fans. “I think the name is accurate. It’s much deeper and heavier,” says Partywave, comparing it to standard bass music. Where Pushloop will gravitate to the darker, grittier regions of his music, Partywave tends to keep things more upbeat and light, while still firmly grounded in the traditions of bass music. Maybe it’s his low-key San Diego background, or the fact that he has spent the last four years of his life lounging in Hawaii. But the two DJs are starting to rub off on each other. Partywave’s latest Soundcloud mix Moon has a much darker sound that his previous efforts. There’s also a yet-to-benamed track on there that the two producers worked on together. It’s new territory for both. They go past simply gritty or upbeat and create a textured sound that is almost mystic, with a beat that sounds produced by an ancient alien civilization. “We both share a similar vision. I had a great time collaborating with him,” Pushloop says. Time will tell, but this could mark the beginning of a new era for the producer freshly moved back to the mainland—as in, he moved back to California the day before touring. “So basically, here’s the plan: I’m going to tour, tour, tour, until I don’t feel like it anymore. Which could be the end of this year, could be next year. Who knows what’s going to happen?” But even if he does eventually take a break from the road, or just cuts back to a few shows a year Partywave says he’ll never stop making music, and he plans to continue pushing the wave of momentum with his current collaboration into the future. Pushloop intends to release a lot more music this year, though he can’t talk about it because he’s under contract. “For now, we’re just doing the one song, but talked about doing an EP,” Partywave says. “We’ll definitely collab on something later.” The Elements Tour starts at 8:30pm on Saturday, May 4, at the Catalyst Club Atrium, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10adv/$15door. 423-1338.

J.S. BACH’S ‘COFFEE CANTATA’

FOOD & WINE

Come caffeinated to this coffeeoriented classical concert (say that three times fast). Though coffee’s popularity in Europe was only a few decades old in the 1730s, it had already become a focal point for an egalitarian, intellectual and arts-minded subculture. Zimmerman’s coffee house in Leipzig provided a venue where J.S. Bach could let down his, uh, curly wig, and present works of music for fun. The Coffee Cantata tells the story of a coffee-loving daughter, Liesgen, and her disapproving father. Complete with fittingly zippy melodies, the concert is equal parts playful composition and humorous story.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

ROB RAMO Y CALIGENTE Santa Cruz rapper Rab Ramo was in New York when his father, Tom Ehrlich, connected him with salsa singer Frankie Vazquez to sing a hook on one of his songs. Vasquez suggested he get some live instruments and work with producer Dave Feliciano. Ramo had been making more standard hip-hop beats but was anxious to incorporate some of the salsa, jazz, funk, and Puerto Rican music his parents raised him on. Feliciano was the perfect producer to guide him in that direction. “He was raised in the salsa era, but also as hip-hop was being created,” Ramo says. “He was a couple generations behind me, but he had similar influences.”

MAY 1-7, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

They were calling the music they were making sancocho, which is a Puerto Rican stew that has every kind of meat—kind of a Puerto Rican gumbo. “I feel like my music is like that. A salsa-Puerto Rican base and hip-hop. But we use all the different kinds of music.”

Things went so well that the one-song recording session turned into an entire album, Two Coasts, Un Sol, which Ramo released in September of 2017. He was back in Santa Cruz when he released the album, and as he was picking players for a live band, he focused on keeping it grounded in Puerto Rican music. He calls the band CaliGente, and it’s now a big part of his sound. “It’s always going to have a fusion, but with the main roots being Puerto Rican music and hip-hop,” Ramo says. AARON CARNES

THE LOWEST

WEDNESDAY 5/1 INDIE

CASEY NEILL Featuring members of both the Decemberists and the Eels, Casey Neill and the Norway Rats were kinda like the Folk-Punk Philharmonic of Portland. At least they were on their 1996 debut, which sounds like the blueprint for the folk-punk movement that swept the underground in the early 2000s. But by last year’s Subterrene, the band had settled into a more recognizably indie rock mold, slowing down, sinking in and letting the keyboard player get in on the spotlight. These days, they sound less like the Pogues but remain punk in spirit, citing the X-Ray Spex as the inspiration for Subterrene’s Marxist title. MIKE HUGUENOR 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 429-6994.

THURSDAY, 5/2 SOUL

FANTASTIC NEGRITO In a short span of time, Fantastic

Negrito went from busking in SF train stations to two-time Grammy winner. His two albums, 2016’s Last Days of Oakland and last year’s Please Don’t Be Dead each nabbed the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album the years they were released, and with good reason. Both albums are crisp and packed with hooks and melody. Please Don’t Be Dead feels especially urgent, an album inspired by the Oakland musician’s near death in a devastating auto accident and rebirth in a hospital bed. MH 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$25 door. 479-1854.

INDIE

BANE’S WORLD Bane’s World is like Ariel Pink on Valium. Slowed-down, languid tunes filled with ennui and mellow, jazzpop island vibes ooze a dreamy sense of being stuck on The Love Boat with nothing but hula-dancing bobbleheads and a gun that only shoots bubbles. The band’s album Drowsy drifts along like the soundtrack to some mid-corporate hack’s vacay nightmare loop. The piña coladas all have sand in them. The buffet only serves motor oil. The band plays

“Cheeseburger in Paradise” on repeat. And the captains nods off on the life raft as the Love Boat seesaws along the waves, merrily, merrily. AMY BEE 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$22 door. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 5/3 ROCK

YOUNG JESUS Based on photos alone, Young Jesus looks like its secret band name is Young Lennon. Don’t let it deter you, though; the members are only Lennon wannabes in fashion, not vocals or musical composition. A more tried and true art-rock outfit, with plenty of room for drum-drenched extended jams, jangly guitar diatribes and rash improvisational melodies. The live shows are open and energetic, like Young Jesus is letting you hang out during rehearsals as the band messes around with sonic abandon. Obsessed with construction and deconstruction, Young Jesus pays homage its namesake with reverent explorations of expiration and resurrection.

Formed in 2013, the Lowest Pair has since released five albums, including two dropped in 2016: Uncertain As It Is Uneven, more in line with their previous music, as well as Fern Girl & Ice Man, an ambitious departure. Winter and Lee reinvigorate the folk genre with lyrics about modern

problems set to warm and dusty tunes instead of trying to capture a time period that wasn’t theirs to begin with. MW 8 p.m. Lille Aeske, 13160 Hwy. 9, Boulder Creek. $20-$25. 703-4183.

SUNDAY 5/5 HIP-HOP

ROB VICIOUS In a short documentary on YouTube, LA rapper Rob Vicious talks about the brutality of the streets he grew up on. “It’s a trap,” he says of the lifestyle that goes along with gangbanging. He raps about all of this on his debut Atlantic solo album Traplantic. It’s a hard hitting, streetsmart mixtape from the Shoreline Mafia rapper, with plenty of guest spots from his crew on the album. It’s straightforward bars, trap beats and “no fake shit.” He’s an excellent storyteller, bringing the horrors and the normalcy of his young life to song.

The comic isn’t the big star, but she’s been all over TV on shows like How To Be A Grown Up, Girls Behaving Badly and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. You Did This To Me is very honest and outrageous, and her energy is almost non-stop. She stays busy doing comedy and her podcast The Kira Soltanovich Show, where she interviews other comics. AC

Canadians Dave 1 and P-Thugg have made a career out of getting funky. Their duo Chromeo draws from synthpop, disco and blue-eyed soul. All their songs ride a weird line of being feel good, dance-pop, silly, self-aware, and upbeat music. Nothing wrong with that. The duo are clearly having fun on stage every time they groove for the audience. They come to Catalyst this time around, leaving their instruments at home and bringing a DJ set. It’s sure to be just as groove-tastic. The new king of ’80s electro-funk, Dam Funk, opens with his own DJ set.

BROOKING NO FOOLS Haley Lu Richardson (left) as Louise Brooks and Elizabeth McGovern as the

title character in ‘The Chaperone.’

Make Some Noise MAY 1-7, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘The Chaperone’ imagines the wild formative years of silent-film star Louise Brooks BY LISA JENSEN

he’s not much remembered these days, but Louise Brooks was one of the brightest stars in Hollywood’s silent movie era. Back when the ’20s first began to roar, Brooks—with her shiny black, bobbed hair and insouciant attitude—became the onscreen icon of the bold new post-World War I woman. Her look and style were copied by a generation of fans, and when her studio declined to increase her salary to keep pace with her popularity, she was snapped up by German filmmaker G. W. Pabst for career-defining roles in Pandora’s Box and Diary of a Lost Girl. There is only a hint of Louse Brooks,

the movie star-to-be, in The Chaperone. But her presence animates this fond, fact-based, yet lightly fictionalized tale of the teenaged Brooks creating her showbiz persona during a summer in New York City. The film’s title refers to the more conservative matron charged with shepherding her to the big city from their Midwestern home. She’s the one ripe for epiphany, but it’s the portrait of the coltish Brooks eager for life that gives the movie its moments of dazzle. The Chaperone’s pedigree is impressive: scriptwriter Julian Fellowes and director Michael Engler have worked together on TV’s Downton Abbey, and the upcoming movie

version. (The story is adapted from the 2012 novel by Laura Moriarty.) Star Elizabeth McGovern, another Downton veteran, also co-produced. It’s the first feature film production from PBS Masterpiece. In the spring of 1922, in Wichita, Kansas, Norma Carlisle (McGovern) joins other society matrons for a piano recital by one of their own, Mrs. Brooks (Victoria Hill), featuring a dance by her daughter, Louise (Haley Lu Richardson). The girl has just been accepted into the summer dance program of the renowned Denishawn modern dance troupe in New York City, and her mother is looking for a chaperone to accompany her. Norma

volunteers; she’s eager to get out of Wichita for awhile, for reasons that gradually become clear. Norma and Louise gush that they’re sure to become great friends. But on the train, Norma finds herself taken aback by the teenager's frank talk and carelessly flirty ways. When Norma tries to impart worldly advice — “Men don’t like candy that’s been unwrapped”— Louise bursts out laughing. “Really?” she chortles. She’s not being catty; she finds Norma’s provincialism sort of precious. Still, Norma provides support and encouragement as Louise learns the ropes at Denishawn—and learns to navigate the friction her presence causes between its co-founders, the imperious Ruth St. Denis (Miranda Otto) and her partner, Ted Shawn (Robert Fairchild). Meanwhile, Norma has her own agenda; adopted off an orphan train to the Midwest as a young child, she’s searching for her birth mother at the Catholic church where her records are kept. The real-life Brooks did intern at the Denishawn school (with a chaperone in tow) before joining the company for two years en route to Hollywood. But Norma is a fictional character whose story can be problematic. (The resolution of a conflict with her husband (Campbell Scott), also involving a soulful German handyman she meets at the church (Géza Rohrig), is both a charming exercise in wishfulfillment and utterly ridiculous.) Richardson manages to strike a credible note between sassy, assumed worldliness and youthful vulnerability as Louise. She’s so much fun, you might wish the movie spent less time on Norma’s subplots and more on the relationship between Norma and Louise. Still, it’s an entertaining look at a culture in transition (complete with gorgeous period costumes by Candice Donnelly). And it captures some of the reckless spirit that Louise Brooks would hone onscreen during the next decade of her brief but memorable career. THE CHAPERONE *** (out of four) With Elizabeth McGovern and Haley Lu Richardson. Directed by Michael Engler. From the book by Laura Moriarty. A PBS release. Not rated. 103 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES ASK DR. RUTH No one would have thought to ask a German about sex before Dr. Ruth Westheimer became a thing in the ’80s. And she was a thing, this cute little old lady speaking frankly about sex and telling people to “get some” (literally, that was her catchphrase). After dozens of books and thousands of TV appearances, this documentary attempts to get some insight into what made Dr. Ruth (who is now 90!) into the most famous sex therapist ever. Directed by Ryan White. (Not Rated) 100 minutes. (SP)

MAY 1-7, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BOLDEN On the one hand, it’s fair to wonder what took myth-loving Hollywood so long to discover the man who is revered as one of the founding fathers of jazz music. On the other, Buddy Bolden never actually recorded, and had his career cut short when he was committed to an insane asylum at age 30. So maybe he seemed a bit edgy for a biopic. But it turns out writer-director Dan Pritzker has been working on this project for over a decade, finally completing it with Gary Carr as Bolton and consummate character actors Michael Rooker and Ian McShane in support, with music by Wynton Marsalis. (R) (SP)

THE INTRUDER In this Fatal Attraction-style thriller, Dennis Quaid plays a guy who sells his family home to a young couple, then begins harassing them and even breaking in to their house, because he’s a psycho and still thinks it’s rightfully his. To me, a movie like this stretches way too far beyond the limits of believability. I mean, we all know Randy is the crazy one. Directed by Deon Taylor. Costarring Meagan Good and Michael Ealy. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (SP) LONG SHOT The weird rom-com tradition of Seth Rogan playing characters who would never actually have any hope of attracting the women they’re paired up with continues with Long Shot, but luckily this time they made it part of the plot rather than just pretending it was NBD. Rogan plays an unemployed journalist who hooks up with his former babysitter—who also happens

to be the U.S. Secretary of State. And running for president. And played by Charlize Theron. Directed by Jonathan Levine. (R) 125 minutes. (SP) UGLY DOLLS Robert Rodriguez of From Dusk Till Dawn, Grindhouse and Spy Kidz fame came up with the story for this animated musical based on the Uglydolls line of plush toys. I know the haters out there are sarcastically thinking,“Say no more, you had me at ‘plush,’” but if you needed another reason to rage-watch this thing, it features the voices of Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas and Blake Shelton. (PG) 87 minutes. (SP) WILD NIGHTS WITH EMILY We all thought Emily Dickinson’s whole thing was being dour and solitary, but it turns out she was actually a barrel of laughs! Not sure if that totally explains how this movie about her life ended up with a title that makes it sound like a ’70s porn film, but in case it follows Dickinson’s attempts to get published, her little-known wild side and her lifelong lesbian romance. Directed by Madeleine Olnek. Starring Molly Shannon, Amy Seimetz and Susan Zeigler. (PG-13) 84 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups.google.com/group/ LTATM.

NOW PLAYING AMAZING GRACE This documentary is made up of neverbefore-released footage of Aretha Franklin recording her live album Amazing Grace at a church in Watts in 1972. Amazing Grace went on to win a Grammy and be the biggest-selling album of her career. Franklin’s label, Warner Bros., planned to put out a documentary in conjunction with the album, but director Sydney Pollack ran into technical issues that derailed the effort completely. After Pollack gave him the footage in 2008, Alan Elliott spent two years fixing it—but for reasons that aren’t entirely clear,

considering that she had signed a contract for the film four decades earlier, Franklin herself fought its release for years. The New York Times had the best headline when the film debuted after her death: “Aretha Franklin Didn’t Want You to See This Movie. But You Must.” (G) 87 minutes. (SP) AVENGERS: ENDGAME You probably haven’t heard anything about this under-the-radar release featuring a few of the costumed characters from those old comic books you used to read when you were a kid. But despite the fact that almost no one saw the movie that was meant to be the lead-up to this one, Avengers: Infinity War, I still think this one has a chance to defy the odds and be a surprise hit. Directed by the Russo brothers. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Brie Larson, Scarlett Johansson, and Josh Brolin. (PG-13) 181 minutes. (SP) BREAKTHROUGH Drama based on the true story of a kid who fell through some ice in St. Louis in 2015 and was rescued after being underwater for 15 minutes. His Christian mother Joyce Smith wrote a book about how her son had been saved by God, which is the story re-told here. I’m happy for her kid and all, and I’d sure as hell be thankful if my child lived through that, but I kinda think even God is like,“Calm down, lady!” on this one. I mean, that same year, an Italian teenager was rescued and made a full recovery after being submerged for 42 minutes, and you don’t see anybody calling him the chosen one. (PG) 116 minutes. (SP) THE CHAPERONE Reviewed this issue. (Not Rated) 103 minutes. THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA The Woman in Black. The Nun. Now La Llorona. Am I the only one who can barely tell these creepy movie ladies apart anymore? This movie is based on the Mexican folktale about a “Weeping Woman” who lost her children and now wants to steal everyone else’s. Weirdly enough, it’s supposed to be part of the “Conjuring Universe,” a fancy way of saying yet another spin-off of James Wan’s 2013 film The Conjuring, which besides the two direct sequels has already given

us two boring movies about Annabelle the doll and that even worse nun movie. Directed by Michael Chaves. Starring Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz and Patricia Velasquez. (R) 93 minutes. (SP) FAMILY Orange is the New Black’s Taylor Schilling plays Kate, an executive so obsessed with success that she never had time for family. Comedy ensues when she has to take care of her oddball teenage niece, followed by emotional breakthroughs. This is the kind of movie where the main character’s brother tells her,“I don’t want your money, Kate! I just want a sister!” Directed by Laura Steinal. Co-starring Kate McKinnon, Brian Tyree Henry and Bryn Vale. (R) 85 minutes. (SP) LITTLE Why are people always saying Hollywood doesn’t have any new ideas? They have tons! Like, for instance, in Big, Tom Hanks was a kid who got trapped in his grown-up body, right? Well, see, in this movie, Regina Hall is a grown-up who gets trapped in her kid body! Bam! Totally different. See, new ideas everywhere! Directed by Tina Gordon. Co-starring Marsai Martin, Issa Rae and Rachel Dratch. (PG-13) (SP) THE MUSTANG This feature film debut for director Laure de ClermontTonnerre spins a tale of wild horses, regret and redemption set in a high-security prison complex out in the middle of the Nevada desert. As part of their rehab, certain inmates are chosen to break and train the mustangs for auction, and Matthias Schoenaerts delivers a towering, if taciturn performance (it’s all in his eyes) as a prisoner who learns tenderness by bonding with his animal. The analogy between wildspirited mustangs and incarcerated men is hardly novel, yet the nuances of character, story and subtle, yet profoundly felt emotion keep viewers involved. (R) 96 minutes. (LJ) PENGUINS Disney nature documentary follows a young penguin doin’ penguin stuff. Adorbs! Narrated by Ed Helms. (G) 76 minutes. (SP) PETERLOO Writer-director Mike Leigh returns with this British

historical drama about the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, during which soldiers killed 15 peaceful protestors and injured hundreds during a pro-democracy rally. Starring Rory Kinnear, Maxine Peake and Pearce Quigley. (PG-13) 154 minutes. (SP) PET SEMATARY “I don’t want to be buried in a pet cemetery,” the Ramones once sang, and they won’t be alone now that there is a movie remake to revive interest in what was easily Stephen King’s scariest book. The original film adaptation from 1987 was fun but campy, with Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster!) laying on a terrible Maine accent way too thick in lines like,“Sometimes dead is better,” and,“The soil of a man’s heart is stonier, Louis.”The setup here is identical, with a doctor and his family moving to the edge of a small town and discovering that the pet cemetery deep in the woods doesn’t keep pets—or anything else—dead for long. John Lithgow replaces Gwynne as the old neighbor, and even in the trailer you can hear how his delivery is scarier and camp-free. Hopefully the rest of the movie is, too. Directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer. Co-starring Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz. (R) 101 minutes. (SP) SHAZAM! If you liked Captain Marvel, why not try … the other Captain Marvel! Yup, that was the original name of this DC character, who lost his copyright to Marvel Comics. The gimmick was that he was really just a boy, Billy Batson, who could turn into an adult superhero by shouting “Shazam!”That premise gets played for laughs big time in this adaptation; apparently DC has figured out people don’t want an endless stream of grimdark Zach Snyder comic-book movies. Directed by David F. Sandberg. Starring Zachary Levi, Michelle Borth and Djimon Hounsou. (PG-13) 132 minutes. (SP) SUNSET This Hungarian drama set in Budapest before World War I is a story about a fearless young woman’s coming of age. Directed by Lazlo Nemes. Starring Susanne Wuest, Evelin Dobos and Juli Jakab. (R) 142 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK Rillettes, served with a lavish side of hot-and-crispy chicken skin ($12). (Anyone who’s spent even an hour at a train station cafe in France knows about rillettes, the French version of high-octane, country-style paté.) Paired with a glass of the very newly released methode champenoise sparkling Chenin Blanc by Birichino, it made for a memorable sensory delight. My compliments to KC chef and entrepreneur Daniel Mendoza, whose watchword is “from the fryer to your couch.” Currently cookin’ out of Motiv, these folks cater, deliver and pop up at some of the smartest places in the greater Santa Cruz area. kickinchickensc.com.

OG organic grocer Staff of Life turns 50, plus some Kickin’ Chicken BY CHRISTINA WATERS

ardly possible, I said to myself as I read the banner stretched across the front of the Soquel Avenue Staff of Life Natural Food Market. Fifty years! To celebrate this milestone in organic foods, authentic pastries and right livelihood, Staff of Life is throwing itself an anniversary party on May 18. Come join the fun, which will include live music, BBQ, beer and wine tastings, raffles, free samples, and all things Santa Cruz. Congratulations to organic pioneers Richard Josephson and Gary Bascou, who started it all back when the words

“vegan” and “gluten-free” had little relevance, if any. I can still taste those incomparable and huge sunflower seed cookies that often served as breakfast. In the early days, the idea of a full butcher and seafood counter was unthinkable, and now it’s bountiful and state-of-the-art. There was no altmakeup section, but there has always been plenty of bulk grains, nuts and flours, along with boundless incense offerings. Think of the changes Staff has seen in its half-century from 1969 (a year when everybody was a hippie, or at least pretended to be) to 2019! Staff of Life’s 50th anniversary party

will happen 12:30-4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. Staff of Life Natural Food Market, 1266 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. 423-8632, staffoflifemarket.com.

PLAYIN’ CHICKEN Kickin’ Chicken does some outrageous cooking—and perhaps, given the kim chee-BBQ chicken and waffles—the ultimate fusion food. At least that was my take away last week, when the al fresco chefs set up shop at the entrance of Birichino’s wine tasting room. The aromas, the flavors, the crunchy textures—it was all good. And the scent was seductive. I caved for an impromptu order of Chicken

A moveable feast, or at least a walkable sip, can be yours at the Downtown Santa Cruz Wine Walk on Sunday, May 12, from 3-6 p.m. Some of the top oeno-flavors from the Santa Cruz Mountains can be sampled during this strollfest among the shops and sidewalks of downtown Santa Cruz. The concept is simple. Those who want to visit the various pouring locations first stop in at Soif Wine Bar & Merchants at 105 Walnut Ave. That’s the registration point where you can purchase your $40 pass, pick up your tasting glass and a map of the pouring sites. Registration check-in opens at 2:30 p.m. (and closes at 4:30 p.m.). If you purchase tickets online, the advance price is $35. And yes, you must be 21+ to take part. eventbrite.com.

PASTRY OF THE WEEK

The ethereal GF Carrot Cake from Manresa Bread, available at Verve locations throughout Santa Cruz ($4). The word “tumescent” was invented for this light, addictively flavorful, buttery little tea cake, shaped into a miniature round cake and studded with spices and walnuts. Large enough that it can serve as a midday second breakfast, even if you share it with someone else. Truly an inspired partner to a cup of coffee, this is a glorious morning pastry, moist and light with a gossamer crumb.

ichael Sones is an expert when it comes to making wine. The former head winemaker at Bargetto Winery now acts as consultant winemaker at prestigious producers in the industry, such as Loma Prieta Winery. Under his own label, Sones Cellars, he’s making some splendid wines, including a 2015 Petite Sirah ($28) with plenty of backbone. It won a gold medal at this year’s San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Grapes are harvested from Saveria Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains “in a mild and sheltered valley … and a superb example of the effects of terroir, or unique sense of place,” says Sones. “This vineyard produces a surprisingly elegant Petite with lovely aromas followed by notes of spiced cherry.” Sones’ Petite Sirah is a fullthrottle red with rich fruit, including blackberries and blueberries. Inkydark and bursting with big flavors,

this wine goes well with barbecue. It clocks in at 14.2% alcohol. When you go to Sones Cellars tasting room, check out his Hedgehog brand. The bottle of Hedgehog wine is endlessly refillable and very reasonably priced. Sones has garnered a hefty collection of hedgehogs … mostly brought in by wine club members. Santa Cruz Shakespeare supporter Sones, who hails from England, also makes another wine called Sack, and donates a portion of sales to SCS. He explains that Shakespeare extolled the virtues of “sack”—a sweet white wine, nutty and darkened by exposure to air while in the barrel. Michael and his wife Lois met at sea, and their interesting wine label depicts the bow of a ship with a female masthead holding a bunch of grapes. All she needs by her side is Dionysus.

Penny’s toasted marshmallow is an ice cream upgrade BY LILY STOICHEFF

Penny’s list of toppings. This was a mistake. It wasn’t until a fateful evening out with a handsome Santa Cruz native who ordered some for my cone that I tried it for the first time. Reader, I am marrying that man. If you’ve never had it before, here’s what you can expect. After choosing your flavor of ice cream (they won’t bat an eye if you sample all nine flavors first), the server will spoon the crisp white meringue topping over your cone. Then, they’ll whip out a blow torch and dramatically toast the top to golden campfire perfection. As you bite in, the contrast of soft, warm fluff giving way to cold ice cream is the most delightful juxtaposition. Does adding more dessert to your dessert feel a little indulgent? Yes. Do we all deserve a decadent treat occasionally? Also yes. And if I learned anything from my time in Italy, it’s that eating ice cream is an integral part of living la dolce vita— the sweet life.

recently returned from an extended trip to Italy to celebrate the beginning of a new decade of life, and I can report that—even more than pasta and pizza—Italians love sweets. Eating gelato multiple times a day is a cultural norm. In Sicily, we never let an afternoon go by without snacking on a canolo alongside an espresso. On weekend mornings, piazza tables in Catania are dotted with huge bowls of colorful granita, an icy, gelato-like confection that Sicilians have for breakfast if the weather is warm— and it’s always warm. Our sweet tooth did not abate when we returned to Santa Cruz, so we’ve been spending afternoons at the Penny Ice Creamery on Cedar Street. While sampling their daily lineup of seasonal, locally sourced flavors, I remembered that the Penny has an advantage over Italy, and that is toasted marshmallow fluff. For years, I was too distracted by the novelty of the hand-churned ice creams to take much interest in the

Esoteric Astrology as news for week May 1, 2019

come trip on the CURB you’ll always hit grass 6535 Highway 9 Felton CA

May 1 is May Day, an ancient spring festival in many cultures. May Day, always the sustaining Taurus Sun, is the Celtic (Gaelic) festival of Beltane (lasting all week long). It’s also International Worker’s Day, dedicated in solidarity to the work and labors of all humanity around the world. Beltane is also a cross quarter day, meaning we are halfway between spring and summer. All cycles of life in our universe are centered around the life and light of the sun. Beltane in pre-Christian times was celebrated as a fertility festival. Beltane was also the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers. As Beltane marked summer’s beginning, doorways, walkways and windows were strewn with garlands, ribbons, crosses, and yellow May flowers (primrose, rowan, hawthorn, gorse,

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 Although considered rather unpredictable, you also have traditional, stable, responsible, and detailed aspects, and these help you maneuver the outer world. Few, except astrologers, may know this about Aries. Those qualities are being internally recognized so you can recognize your value and worth. You know it’s not how much money you have. It’s more about perseverance, reliability and being steadfast in adversity and challenges. You’re learning.

Patience and deliberateness help you assess anything new, thinking everything through with step-by-step care. You’re also visionary, continually developing an illumined mind, influenced by the Pleiades, Aldebaran and Alcyone (stars in the Pleiades) to bring forth the wisdom of the Buddha. When faced with a monetary situation, you instinctively choose the right path. These are your gifts. Recognize them with gratitude.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 It’s most important that your work in the world aligns with your sense of values. Gemini is a complex, dual sign. You have a fluid mind. Much information must be filtered through your emotions. Therefore, that field (astral, emotional) must be clear, pure, no judgments, criticisms or opinions. This must be developed. You’re the sign of hidden treasures. Security for you isn’t wealth. It’s who and what you love.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20 There’s a challenge now for you to emerge from under your Cancer shell, have a sense of adventure, step beyond comfort and focus upon things artistic and cultural. What would that be for you? Build your greater sense of love, heart to heart, with others. It will expand self-expression and creativity, what you really seek. Then you must also have a sense of fun. What is fun for you?

Most Leos are charming. Some are hidden. But all are magnetic—an important quality to understand, because it attracts others to you. When aware of this, you’re either kind and compassionate or you misuse your power if your power doesn’t include love. What are people seeking when encountering you? Light, intelligence, playfulness, vitality, discipline, direction, and the willingness to love. Do you have these qualities to give?

While you display order, discipline and list after list of new ideas, you must now add diplomacy—along with tact, refinement, and how to relate with ease, compassion, right timing and Right Relations. Be aware that these are seeds planted within all of humanity. For Virgo, they lead later to the art of cooperation and conciliation through the art of negotiation.

There was a Maypole (tree or bush decorated with flowers, ribbons, shells, garlands, calling forth the treespirit’s blessings) to dance around. And a young woman was chosen to be Queen of the May, crowning the Virgin Mary with wreaths of flowers. Beltane is a Celtic word meaning “bright shining fire from the Sun.” The festival continues today. Saturday is the new moon (14 degrees Taurus) preparing us for Wesak. And last Monday, Saturn retrograded in Capricorn. We turn inward, assessing our responsibilities, integrity, seriousness, standards, and steadfastness. The Dweller on the Threshold appears.

The results will strengthen all abilities, especially your tasks of creating harmony and loving more—which then magnetically pulls even more love and resources your way.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 As life continuously challenges you to transform and regenerate, you also ask (quietly demand) this of others. Because your life has such intensity, you must schedule consistent times for solitude, contemplation, rest and retreat—times to gather strength, rediscover inner meaning and self-purpose. That time is now. Vision is here, too. Only a few know that as you die (metaphor) each day to the past, future visions also come forth.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 Although you usually view life with optimism and a broad hopeful vision—and because you’re an imaginative thinker who sees signs and reads oracles in every situation—you also have a sense of being dutiful, responsible, traditional, and conservative. These can hide behind unwavering enthusiasm. Working under time limits, rules and regulations, you have a very serious side. Value this, as it’s your discipline as well as your wisdom.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You exhibit great control, discipline, structure, and reserve, often playing the role of the eldest child or wise parent. Traditions, following or creating them, are therefore most important. But there’s another valuable part to you—being progressive and inventive. Aware of the future, you’re quite different than most. Sometimes people can’t quite understand your abilities to change quickly and to offer everyone freedom to be (you and me). Remember?

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 It’s important to acknowledge that, ruled by Uranus, you’re different than most. Why? Aquarius streams through Uranus, which is tipped on its side. The atmosphere of Uranus is arranged in layers of clouds, its magnetic tail twisted into a long corkscrew, the source of its magnetic field unknown. Uranus is blue/green, has a moon, many rings and satellites, seventh planet from the sun and third largest planet in the solar system. This unusual planet rules your entire life. Value your differentness. It’s unique and precious.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The two signs most misunderstood are Scorpio and Pisces. Often the fish is seen as wandering about, too idealistic and sensitive, seemingly lost, dreamy and confused. But there’s more to Pisces. They’re also brave and courageous when someone’s in danger. They’re independent, seers of potential, rewarding others for their innate gifts, which most cannot see. When spontaneous, a light fills the air. When sad, there’s despair. Pisces observes, then acts. It brings them freedom and it saves the world. Pluto rules Pisces on the Soul level.

Did I mention that everyone hooked up to the County sewer is required to have their laterals flushed every18 months? It isn’t clear what the punishment is for not cleaning those lines but from the vantage point of someone who interacts with lots of homes and homeowners, what’s clear to me is that almost no one is going to comply. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have an issue with the notional intent behind the new regs - lowering sewer treatment costs. The issues I do have are about the process: 1) This is, in part, a financial workaround for the County’s own deficient infrastructure and 2) This is a de facto way of making Realtors responsible for the education and enforcement of their public policy. Sewer Lateral Inspections and Mandated Repairs is another in a long list of local, state and federal regs that have been attached to the already complicated process of selling a home. See: low flow plumbing devices, pool fencing safety ordinances, water heater strapping, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, FIRPTA regulations, to name just a few...

Continuing from last week...Sewer Laterals Part 2: Everything you didn’t know you were supposed to know in a post-flush world. Last week we covered the basics of the new “stealth” sewer lateral regs calling for video inspections on each home sale. Email me at getreal@ serenogroup.com for a copy of the new rules.

In an era of large deficits and aging infrastructure, here’s how governmental agencies use the real estate process to do an end-run: First they create regulations. Then they tell Realtors, knowing that if they ignore the guidelines like individual homeowners are likely to do, they’ll open themselves up to future litigation from both buyers and sellers should anything “surface” down the road later in their sewer lateral situations. In other words, Realtors get to break the news about this ordinance to homeowners. They are responsible for educating them. And they have to make sure that the inspections and any required work on lateral lines gets done or…they can get sued. Off the top of my head I can come up with dozens of scenarios that are going to cause unexpected hardships and delays for unsuspecting homeowners trying to sell their homes. I’ve already experienced a few. My own feeling is that there should be a temporary moratorium to solicit input from homeowners and Realtors. They should hold public forums rather than trying to fly under the radar by penalizing individual sellers one at a time. County Supervisors should begin getting input from their constituents. The current “underground” enforcement policy is disingenuous and unfair to individual homeowners. It there are breaks, offsets, roots, holes, bad connections, etc., they will prescribe necessary fixes. Houses can’t close escrow until repairs are completed. And in most instances plumbers cannot be paid out of escrow. So let’s stop there and let that information slosh through the laterals of your brain. Next week we’ll explore ways the new ordinance could affect the outcome of your next home sale. Meanwhile, email me for a homeowner’s info packet on sewer laterals.

JANET FINE, 30-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

SHOP PERS ’ SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Cabrillo College photography lab technician Hobbies: Art/mixed media, hiking with my dog, cooking, playing poker, succulent gardening You prefer shopping local like Shopper’s Corner? Yes. I’m that person that annoys my friends who shop at chain stores. I don’t want Santa Cruz to look like all the other towns. It’s important to support our family-owned businesses. I have lived with friends who worked at local businesses, so I know what it’s like when a chain comes in. Shopper’s carries many local products, and I find some of my favorites here such as Companion bread, Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Co. coffees, Glaum eggs, plus chocolates, ice cream, and, of course, the organic produce. Oh, and Venus gin!

What do you like to cook? I’ve cooked in restaurants. I get inspired by looking at Shopper’s ingredients because they’re so visually appealing. I’m an intuitive cook, but I also look at recipes and go at it. I enjoy cooking for friends, potlucks and events. I do love to grill chicken, sausages, occasionally baby back ribs, and seafood. Shopper’s butchers are nice and so helpful. Same with the wine guys’ advice. Shopper’s service is tops! They special-ordered an all-natural frozen pie crust I use when making quiches. Now they carry it in spelt, whole wheat and white flour. I like that Shopper’s has many organics.

You have fun shopping here? Yes.The staff is really nice. It doesn’t feel like they’re made to say hello. Shopper’s environment is affected positively because of the wooden floors, plus it’s cozy. Shopper’s has the total package; you look forward to coming here.Almost every time I come here, I see someone that I know. So you don’t want to look too bad! People may ask me, ‘Isn’t Shopper’s expensive?’ I say,‘Why, because it looks nice?’ People equate “cheap” or “deals” with big florescent lighting and when they see something that looks nice, like Shopper’s, they think ‘expensive’ but it’s not.Trust me!
