FrankenCon brings monster mania to Santa Cruz P35

OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Looking around the orientation for nonprofits participating in Santa Cruz Gives recently, I got a really good feeling. I always love the buzz of energy at these introductory meetings. The staffers who attend have put time and energy into getting accepted to our holiday giving campaign, and they know they’re embarking on something that could be a huge boost for their groups. These are dedicated people who are out there every day working to improve the lives of local families, kids, seniors, animals—basically all the lives in our community, if you consider the whole range of causes

LETTERS

NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

GET CPVAW OUT OF RECALL EFFORT

Re: “Commission Granted” (GT, 10/2): A city commission should not take sides in workplace disputes, especially ones inside the city government they serve. Recent public declarations by CPVAW (Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women) overtly supported those in favor of the recall, even though members claimed it was not their intention to influence this controversial action. As a member of the CPVAW and a life-long activist working to end sexual violence, I want to apologize for our commission’s involvement in this divisive, partisan battle. Santa Cruz United, the group behind the recall effort, used quotes by CPVAW Chair Kevin Grossman to lead their full-page Sentinel ad, Sunday Oct. 6. The ad implies that CPVAW fully supports the recall effort, as well as the ad’s unwarranted accusations of sexual abuse, silencing victims, and sexism by the two council members. According to Chair Grossman, SC United used his comments without his permission or knowledge. Grossman continues to assert that his participation in multiple media events had nothing to do with the recall. However, his comments were delivered to the media just weeks before

represented. They’re generally understaffed and underfunded, and fighting an uphill battle for progress. Santa Cruz Gives, with your help, levels the playing field. Perhaps the energy this year was even more palpable because we’ve accepted more groups than ever before into the program for this holiday season. Read about all of them in this week’s cover story, and support what inspires you. I guarantee something in there will— very likely many things. As we kick off Santa Cruz Gives, I have a feeling this will be our biggest year yet, and I’ll hope you’ll be a part of it. In other news, I’ll be in conversation with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the Rio about his new memoir, Acid for the Children. Hope to see you there! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

a crucial deadline when SC United needed more petition signatures, and resorted to using our acting chair Kevin Grossman’s quotes and the CPVAW’s title to fan their flames of lies and misinformation. The Rose Report found no substantiated instances of sexual harassment or gender-based discrimination. Even so, sexually inflammatory language was repeated by CPVAW, city staff, and those promoting the recall. CPVAW’s mission is to prevent sexual assault, rape, and domestic violence. I very much regret that Santa Cruz voters have been led to believe that the two council members in question engaged in any form of sexual abuse. False accusations of sexual abuse and silencing victims set a very dangerous precedent. This misinformation works to create an environment where actual cases of sexual assault are much more likely to be disbelieved. Everyone loses when this happens. Let’s all start by believing and reading the results of the city’s investigation into workplace difficulties, help CPVAW get back to its mission to prevent sexual violence, and vote NO on all recall efforts.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 13 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

If there are any potential Aries heroes or leaders or saviors out there, the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to fully bloom and assert your practical magnificence. The lessons you have learned while improvising workable solutions for yourself are ripe to be applied to the riddles that are puzzling your tribe or group or gang. I want to let you know, however, that to achieve maximum effectiveness, you should be willing to do good deeds for people who may not be able to pay you back.

Every now and then, I authorize you Libras to shed your polite, tactful personas and express the angst you sometimes feel but usually hide. That’s now! To egg you on, read this mischievous rant by Libran blogger Clary Gay (claryfightwood.tumblr.com): “We Libras are constantly thinking about how to make everyone else comfortable and happy. There’s not a minute going by when we’re not worrying about radiating a soothing and comforting aura so everyone can have a good time. If a Libra is cranky, it’s because they snapped! Because of some non-Libra who doesn’t appreciate them! If a Libra is mean to people, it’s their own damn fault!”

TAURUS Apr20–May20 You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when it’s crucial that your receptivity be as robust as possible. To guide you in this delightful but perhaps challenging work, here are good questions for you to pose: 1. Do you know what help and support you need most, and are you brave and forthright enough to ask for it? 2. Is there any part of you, perhaps unconscious, that believes you don’t deserve gifts and blessings? 3. Do you diligently cultivate your capacity to be refreshed and restored? 4. Are you eagerly responsive when life surprises you with learning experiences and inspirations?

GEMINI May21–June20 “Many people will not be honest because they fear loss of intimacy and togetherness,” writes self-help author Henry Cloud. But the truth, he adds, is that “honesty brings people closer together,” because it “strengthens their identities.” Therein lies the tender paradox: “The more you realize your separate identities, the closer you can become.” Living according to this principle may not be as easy or convenient as being deceptive and covert, but it’s ultimately more gratifying. Henry Cloud concludes, “Telling loved ones what is really on your mind and telling others what you really think is the foundation of love.”

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 “Maturity is having the ability to escape categorization,” said poet Kenneth Rexroth. That’s the opposite of the conventional wisdom. For many people, the process of growing up and becoming a seasoned adult means trying to fit in, to find one’s category, to be serious and steady and stable. Rexroth, on the other hand, suggested that when you fully ripen into your potentials, you transcend standard definitions: you don’t adhere to others’ expectations; you are uniquely yourself, outside and beyond all pigeonholes and classifications. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to practice and cultivate this sacred art.

NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

Is there an event from your past that would be empowering for you to remember in detail? Is there a neglected but still viable dream you could resurrect, thereby energizing your enthusiasm for the future? Are there old allies you’ve lost touch with but who, if you called on them, could provide you with just the boost you need? Is there a familiar pleasure you’ve grown numb to but could reinvigorate by visualizing the original reasons you loved it? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to meditate on these questions.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Catholic St. Francis (1181–1226) loved animals and the natural world. According to one folkloric tale, he was once traveling on foot with several companions when they came upon a place where the trees were filled with birds. Francis said, “Wait for me while I go preach to my sisters the birds.” He proceeded to do just that. The birds were an attentive audience for the duration of his sermon, apparently captivated by his tender tones. Seven centuries later, author Rebecca West offered a critique of the bird-whisperer. “Did St. Francis preach to the birds?” she asked. “Whatever for? If he really liked birds he would have done better to preach to the cats.” In the coming weeks, Virgo, I encourage you to do the metaphorical equivalent of preaching to both the birds and the cats.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Poet Robert Bly tells us that the door to the soul is unlocked. You don’t have to struggle through any special machinations to open it or go through it. Furthermore, the realm of the soul is always ready for you. Always! It harbors the precise treasure you need in order to be replenished and empowered. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I think that during the next two weeks, you should abide as much as possible in the soul’s realm— the cornucopia of holy truths and ever-fresh riches.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In my estimation, what you’ve experienced lately has been akin to a fermentation process. It’s as if you’re undergoing a transformation with resemblances to the way that grapes turn into wine or milk becomes yogurt or dough rises before being baked into bread. You may have had to endure some discomfort, which is the case for anything in the midst of substantial change. But I think you’ll ultimately be quite pleased with the results, which I expect will be ready no later than ten days after your birthday—and quite possibly sooner.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Many books have been written about Joan of Arc, a 15th-century teenage peasant girl whose improbable ascent to military leadership, under the guidance of her divine visions, was crucial in France’s victory over the English. Among the many miraculous elements of her story was the fact that less than a year before she led troops into battle on horseback, she didn’t know how to ride a horse. She learned by riding around her father’s farm astride his cows. I foresee an equivalent marvel in your future, Capricorn. By this time next year, you will have developed an aptitude that might seem unimaginable now. (P.S. There’s evidence Joan was a Capricorn.)

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 The Divine Comedy is one of history’s greatest literary works. Its author, Dante Alighieri, was 43 when he began writing the Inferno, the first part of his three-part masterpiece. Up until that time, he had published just one book and a few poems, and had also abandoned work on two unfinished books. Early on in the Inferno, the not-yet-renowned author presents a fictional scene in which he meets with the spirits of antiquity’s most famous authors: Virgil, Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan. Those illustrious five tell Dante he is such an important writer that he ranks sixth, after them, in his excellence. I’m going to encourage you to dare indulging in behavior like Dante’s: to visualize and extol—and yes, even brag about—the virtues and skills that will ultimately be your signature contribution to this world.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The Latin word for sea is mare. Flustra is the calm sea. Undisonus means “resounding with waves.” Caeruleus is the sea’s deep shade of blue, aestus is the tide, and aequoreus means “connected with the sea.” My hope is that as you meditate on these lyrical terms, you’ll be moved to remember the first lakes, rivers and oceans you ever swam in. You’ll recall your time floating in your mother’s womb and your most joyous immersions in warm baths and hot springs. Why? It’s a favorable time to seek the healing and rejuvenating powers of primal waters—both metaphorically and literally.

WHAT EVERY PG&E CUSTOMER NEEDS TO KNOW Public Safety Power Shutoff, or PSPS, is a safety program that proactively shuts off electric power lines when there is an elevated fire risk. Do you have an emergency kit with nonperishable food, one gallon of water per person per day, medications, flashlights and batteries?

All PG&E customers should be prepared for possible power outages that could last for multiple days.

Do you know how to open your garage door manually?

If power is temporarily turned off, customers should consider these questions: If anyone in your family depends on electricity for their medical needs, have you made preparations?

Are your mobile phones fully charged? Do you have a portable back-up charger or a solar charger?

OPINION

of homeless and addicted people living on the streets. The street is not a place to call home, and no more studying of the problem is needed, btw. They, along with other city and county service providers, partner with the health care corporation who owns the drive-in property, to create a safe, medically-centered place for the homeless to live and get sober. With access to trained medical staff and cooperation from city and county partners, access is granted only with agreement to enter the recovery program, where human care is the mission. This model could be the leader in the solution to end (or reduce) the drug addicted homeless problem nationwide. The controversial

needle-exchange program, which should be monitored by medical professionals only, could be managed through this facility thereby keeping the public safe. The only way to end homelessness is to provide the homeless help and a place to go. Shuffling them around the street, parks, forests is not a solution. HEIDI HARRIS | BEN LOMOND

NEWS FRONT AND RENTER Santa Cruz County approves new affordable housing project, protects tenants BY TODD GUILD AND TONY NUÑEZ

time on the City Council. As she gets ready to move, she worries that the city has lost its way. PHOTO: KEANA PARKER

Chase Out of Town Ex-Mayor Cynthia Chase is moving to Oakland, after losing faith in Santa Cruz leadership BY JACOB PIERCE

ormer Santa Cruz Mayor Cynthia Chase is moving away from the county she’s called home for the past 20 years. Chase, who recently left her post as the inmate programs coordinator at the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office, is moving to Oakland, now that her husband Howard Heevner has taken a job at UC Berkeley. But Chase says the job isn’t the only reason they’re leaving. If she and Heevner weren’t moving to Oakland, they would likely be leaving for New Orleans, a city they both love that also offers lots of nonprofit work, Chase says. A social worker by trade, Chase

served on the Santa Cruz City Council from 2015-2018. She made affordable housing a hallmark of time on the council, turning her oneyear term as mayor in 2017 into the “year of housing.” She subsequently served on a subcommittee that turned community suggestions into policy suggestions. The idea of moving away now is bittersweet, she says. But in terms of housing affordability, Chase sees the City Council moving in the wrong direction. “This is a council that is not interested in listening to and doing what the community wants,” she says. “Why would we fight to stay here? It

just seems like it’s time to go.” Sheriff Jim Hart, who was Chase’s boss at the county, says that he’ll be sad to see his friend leave, and adds that he’s working on filling her position.

HOUSE OF SHARDS In terms of local policy, one housing vote that shook Chase’s confidence in local leadership was a 4-3 decision from the City Council regarding a possible plan to increase density on Santa Cruz’s busiest streets. Chase says that last year, she and her then-colleague councilmembers Sandy Brown and Martine >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019

The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors last Tuesday unanimously approved a proposal to sell a property in Live Oak, and a plan to develop it into an affordable housing project that will include a dental and medical clinic. MidPen Housing, which is purchasing the 3.6-acre parcel at 1500 Capitola Rd., will build 57 units of one-, two- and threebedroom apartments. The project will include an 11,000-square-foot dental clinic to be run by Dientes Community Dental Care, plus a 19,000-square-foot medical clinic, which will be run by Santa Cruz County Community Health Centers. The development will also include an after-school program, a community room, a garden, and 190 parking spaces. Construction will include a second eastbound lane in front of the development along Capitola Road. In April, nonprofit developer MidPen completed a similar project known as the Pippin Orchard Apartments at 56 Atkinson Lane. Nearly 2,500 families applied hoping to snag one of the 46 units, said Director Betsy Wilson, adding that affordable housing projects are essential in a time when increasing numbers of people are facing poverty. “The need certainly isn’t abating,” she said. “It’s increasing in terms of the need for low-cost housing.” The three agenda items addressing the property—all of which received unanimous support—allowed the sale of the property, approved the overall project and allowed the county to spend $5 million from its Low-and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund to help with the project. MidPen will pay nearly $2.2 million for the property, while the clinics will each pay $337,500, said Santa Cruz County Housing Manager Julie Conway. The proceeds will go to schools, fire services and to the county’s general fund. When complete, the development will allow families to live affordably in the midcounty location, thus reducing traffic, Conway said. >14

NEWS CHASE OUT OF TOWN <11 Watkins put a lot of thought into their Housing Blueprint Subcommittee recommendations. One decision they made was not to prioritize building along the corridors, because Chase had heard community concern from residents of the Eastside, Midtown, Seabright, and the Ocean Street area. That unfinished policy, sometimes called the Corridor Zoning Update, had been several years in the making to bring the city into compliance with its own General Plan. Now, the City Council is killing the corridor plan, and Planning Director Lee Butler has said that he’ll have to devote staff time to winding

and the others that voted for this don’t actually care about affordable housing,” Chase says. Brown, who identifies as a proud defender of affordable housing, says she doesn’t believe that killing the plan will actually take much staff time. And she says she heard repeatedly from residents who live near the transit corridors who worried they would be impacted by new development. Brown says there’s often an assumption that building more housing will mean more affordable housing, and she isn’t sure that’s necessarily true. Calls to build more housing stretch beyond Santa Cruz. >14

that down, instead of focusing on housing affordability. Starting in 2017, more than two years’ worth of work went into the housing subcommittee’s recommendations—along with long hours, late nights and hundreds of comments. By contrast, only one member of the public commented about the corridors, at the quiet afternoon meeting when the City Council’s four liberal-most members took a surprise vote to kill the plan. The toughest part for Chase was that Brown made the motion to ax the plan. “It was terribly, terribly disheartening—and, I think, a message to the community that she

The Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women has recently had two resignations. Chair Kevin Grossman and Vice Chair Leila Kramer both left the body, after it was pointed out that the commission strayed from its bylaws when requesting the Santa Cruz City Council reconsider a tabled censure against councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn, who each violated the city’s conduct policy, according to a cityfunded investigation. There will be many takes on this news, some of them warmer than a political hot potato in the microwave. But it’s refreshing to see that sometimes—even in the year 2019—when people get caught doing a wrong thing, they really do resign. Also, Nuz bets its last five bucks that Krohn and Glover will look for a way to use all this opportunity to grandstand about how they—and not the women who brought forward complaints—are the real victims.

BLOG WHISTLES Bruce Bratton, a longtime gossip columnist who’s run his own site for years, has taken a break lately from ranting about Abbott Square. Instead, he’s spent the past two installments arguing with himself about whether Vice Mayor Justin Cummings is “conscientious” or not. (Bratton’s verdict is that no, Cummings isn’t.) Both Bratton and fellow Bratton Online writer Gillian Greensite, a local environmentalist, are disappointed that Cummings voted in favor of a new West Cliff Drive housing development. Nevermind that the council was legally required to approve the project. Or that it will provide 10 low-income condominiums, including two housing units of the very lowincome variety that’s been so difficult to build in Santa Cruz. They just don’t want to see a new tall-ish building at Bay and West Cliff. If you’ll forgive the following tangent, all the rancorous opposition to the project frankly represents a moment of hypocrisy among many activists. Environmentalists have relentlessly opposed

building a new downtown parking structure with housing and a library mixed in, because they say that, as a society, we need to move away from driving. “House people, not cars!” they often chant. OK, fine. But what about when the opportunity comes to re-develop a parking lot to build new homes at the edge of a job center, a short walk from downtown? Then, many of these same folks start tossing around vague complaints about protecting neighborhoods and how the Santa Cruz City Council needs to start standing up to money-hungry developers. Whatever you think about developers, there’s nothing corrupt about a construction company making money for building a decent project. Seriously, it’s called the economy, people! It’s normal for someone to make money for doing a good job. Anyway, the point is that blogging works best when writers show a willingness to think critically and the courage to stand up to the powers that be. Bratton and Greensite have no problem calling out developers. The same goes

for Becky Steinbruner, Councilmember Krohn and former county Supervisor Gary Patton—all of whom also blog on the site, sharing similar viewpoints. And there’s something to be said for their perspective. But don’t simultaneously undersell the power of influential green-washing activists who seek to block common-sense housing construction and act like they’re saving the planet in the process. Spoiler: They aren’t.

ARI DONE HERE? Embattled Judge Ari Symons has announced that she’s canceling her re-election bid— after raising $100,000. Dodging a bullet on this one are all the establishment Democrats who had supported Symons in one form or another, while also being complicit in the recall of Glover and Krohn. Had Symons’ bid dragged on, those same politicos might have looked like hypocrites. If you’re going to oppose poor conduct, do it across the board. Don’t just pick your spots based on personal or political allegiances.

FRONT AND RENTER <11

“By placing dense affordable housing in the center of our community, we are actively addressing our traffic issues along with our housing issues,” Conway said. The county’s redevelopment agency originally purchased the property near 17th Avenue and Capitola Road in 1994 with plans to build a library. But that plan— and many projects like it—was thrown into limbo when then-Gov. Jerry Brown disbanded the state’s 400 redevelopment agencies. Since then, the Office for Economic Development and the Planning Department have been looking to offload the property, which has sat largely unused for about three decades. The organizations will now seek financing and building permits, Conway said. Construction could start in mid-to-late 2020, though she called that an optimistic prediction. Nearly all of the two-dozen people who addressed the supervisors supported the project. “There is a high need in our community and our county for projects like this,” said Aracely Contreras. Robert Singleton, executive director of the Santa Cruz County Business Council, said quality of life for workers across the county could improve. “We desperately need affordable housing,” he said. But a handful of neighbors said they

were concerned about increased traffic and noise. Carole Childers spoke of the already “hellacious” traffic congestion. “I know we all need housing,” she said. “I’m aware of that. But I don’t see how this is going to benefit those of us in our neighborhood who are near retirement age. It’s going to drive us out.” Childers said she is now considering relocating to Oregon. “If this project goes in, my quality of life in my little neighborhood where I’ve lived for 18 years is going to change dramatically,” she said. Leila Court resident Joseph Chairez said he agreed about the importance of affordable housing, but expressed concern about increased parking woes from residents, employees and the 10,000 patients estimated to use the clinics annually. “I don’t want you to forget about the neighborhood and the people who live there,” he said. “We’re just as important as they are.” Supervisor John Leopold said the project has evolved since 2012 after numerous community meetings, and was altered slightly to address concerns from Leila Court residences. “It’s hard to say no to a simple request to have an affordable place to live,” he said. County officials estimate the rent will be $1,099 for a one-bedroom, $1,167 for a twobedroom and $1,307 for a three-bedroom apartment.

In other action, the supervisors unanimously approved a moratorium on no-fault evictions until a state law limiting rent increases goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2020. The emergency ordinance went into effect immediately. Signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 8, Assembly Bill 1482 is a statewide measure designed to address the housing crisis by limiting annual rent increases to 5% plus inflation, or 10% of the lowest gross rental rate charged for that unit during the prior 12 months, whichever is lower, said Santa Cruz County spokesman Jason Hoppin. “This is happening in our community right now,” Supervisor Zach Friend said. “This will protect people. This will keep people in their homes that deserve to be in their homes.” The Capitola City Council also took similar action last week to protect tenants in the remaining months of the year. A.B. 1482 also requires landlords to have and state a “just cause” to evict tenants who have occupied residences for more than one year, such as owner occupation, failure to pay rent, breach of lease, creating a nuisance or other reasons. Both the rent cap and the just-cause provisions are subject to exemptions, including housing built in the past 15 years and single-family residences unless owned by a real estate trust or corporation. A.B. 1482 sunsets after 10 years. Anthony Banovac, a Realtor for Century 21 and property owner in the county, said that the new law will hurt landlords “somewhat,” but predicted it will hurt renters more. “I can’t imagine one landlord that is not going raise their prices every year going forward,” he said. “It’s going to hurt both sides, and that’s what people at the state level don’t understand.” Banovac said he that landlords are going to be extremely protective against their tenants going forward because of the “just evictions” portion of the law. He said most times, he has been able to solve conflicts on his own, and that he does not like giving a reason for eviction, because when he files something to Department of Housing and Urban Development program it sticks with the renter and kills their opportunity to find a new house. “Anytime something comes down from the state, it kills our power to solve things person to person,” he said. “It’s not good policy.”

CHASE OUT OF TOWN <12 Due to California’s anemic rates of new construction, Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for 3.5 million units of new housing, a campaign announcement spurred in part by findings from the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office on the state’s housing shortage. While Santa Cruz has done a better job as of late building market-rate units than building affordable ones, the city doesn’t have many options right now to pay for affordable housing. The state still hasn’t created an alternative to redevelopment, which it axed eight years ago. And a local housing bond failed to get the required a two-thirds vote at the ballot last November. Partly in an effort to address housing affordability, Brown notes that the council has re-upped the amount of affordable housing that developers are required to build in new housing complexes back to its previous level. In general, finding the right balance has proved contentious. In 2017, a consultant told the city that its affordable housing requirements—often known as “inclusionary housing” rules—were too high, arguing that the threshold was getting in the way of needed development. The council had lowered the requirement from 15% to 10% in most parts of town last year. The council, which shifted left in the 2018 election, opted to raise the requirement back to 15% after facing a lawsuit from two activists. Brown has now proposed the idea of raising the requirement to 20%. She isn’t sure that raising inclusionary affordable housing requirements will help the market for renters, but she wants to try. “The short answer is that we don’t know that raising the affordable rate is going to lead to more affordable housing,” she says. “What we do know is that the private market isn’t going to make it happen on its own.” On homeless issues, Brown says the city hasn’t made as much headway this past year as she would have liked. She plans to sit down with City Manager Martín Bernal to discuss finding ways to make sure the city has adequate room at local shelters. “We have a serious

problem in that we have not made a lot of progress in making sure that we have sufficient shelter space,” she says. Chase argues the city is hurting those most at risk. “We are a kind and just community, generally speaking,” Chase says, “and yet we continue to do things that just screw over our least-resourced members of the community over and over and over.” This past Sunday, homeless activists reopened the controversial Ross camp behind Gateway Plaza and the Ross department store six months after the city disbanded it.

TALKING ABOUT IT Chase and Heevner still plan to foster children, something they’ve been discussing for more than a year. Chase says they’ll be starting the process over in Alameda County. During her final days in Santa Cruz, Chase is candid in her critiques of city leadership under a majority that includes Brown and Vice Mayor Justin Cummings, as well as councilmembers Chris Krohn and Drew Glover—both of whom are facing a recall effort. But Chase has her doubts about the notion that a recall is a good way to address the city’s problems. She says she’s watched the political discourse in Santa Cruz grow increasingly toxic, and that community members with kids in particular have told her they don’t feel comfortable at City Hall these days, where vitriolic remarks from angry audience members in the council chambers aren’t uncommon. Until something changes, she says,the theatrics will also dissuade qualified potential council candidates from running. She herself opted not to run for re-election last year. Chase thought that a new Charter Amendment Committee, which began meeting in 2018, had a chance to change the culture. But the new council killed it this year. “There has got to be a change,” Chase says. “This can’t feel good to any member of the council. It can’t. I can’t imagine anyone is loving chaos. That’s certainly not what governments are meant to do.”

JOIN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY’S HOLIDAY GIVING PROGRAM 38 LOCAL NONPROFITS CONTRIBUTE WITH CONFIDENCE IT’S EASY TO DONATE ONLINE (OR BY MAIL OR CASH DELIVERY)

SANTACRUZGIVES.ORG NOVEMBER 13-DECEMBER 31

THE TURNING POINT As Santa Cruz Gives takes a huge step forward, local donors fuel a rapid growth of giving

ast year, giving to nonprofits was up by an average of 4.5% nationwide. But here in Santa Cruz, donations to the nonprofits

participating in our holiday giving campaign Santa Cruz Gives grew by 19% in 2018 over the previous year. The message has come through loud and clear: people in Santa Cruz County care about improving and uplifting their community, and they have chosen Santa Cruz Gives as a vehicle for being a part of that positive change. So we are thrilled to announce that for 2019, we have expanded the number of local nonprofits accepted into the campaign. In previous years, we were wary of growing too fast, and overreaching beyond what this fledgling charitable project was capable of sustaining. But you have sustained this effort, and driven it far more quickly than we imagined when we first conceived it. If we reach our goal of raising $300,000 between now and the end of the campaign at midnight on Dec. 31, then Santa Cruz Gives will have raised more than $1 million for local nonprofits in its first five years. That is an incredible testament to the spirit of giving in Santa Cruz County.

BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS Organization Mission: We

create and support one-on-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. Mentors make Santa Cruz County a safer and healthier place by helping children make better decisions, which increases their chances of staying in school and decreases their

challenges with substance abuse, teen pregnancy and the criminal justice system.

BIRD SCHOOL PROJECT

Organization Mission: The Bird School Project aims to inspire and equip both students and teachers to love, study and steward their local environment. BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Creating Leaders for the Environment In 2020, Bird School Project aims to unify youth leadership around a vision for lives that are relaxed, mentally resilient and less distracted. The Bird School Project provides educational experiences

to students directly on their schoolyards, making nature and a bit of wilderness easily revisited, leading to appreciation, inquiry and stewardship. Students grow an appreciation for the unexpected and a love for nature. The main goal is to deliver a four-week, eight-lesson life science unit on birding—including guided, on-campus bird walks; use of binoculars; close examination of museum specimens; and the use of a field journal in which students learn to record their observations creatively.

CASA OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY Organization Mission: CASA

of Santa Cruz County advocates for children, providing court-appointed volunteers so each child in the Dependency Court system feels cared for and connected with the people, families and resources they need to heal and flourish into adulthood. CASA empowers volunteers to directly influence life-changing decisions affecting children in dependency (foster) care.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Be the Voice for a Child in Foster Care CASA of Santa Cruz is seeing more children under the age of 3 entering the foster-care system. This is where CASA comes in: We recruit, screen, train, and supervise volunteer advocates to work one-on-one with children and their families to support reunification or permanent placement into a safe and healthy home. Advocates get to know their child’s situation and needs, help caregivers access resources to meet those needs, and advocate for

first and only agency in the entire nation to have a Trans Matching Program. We began matching transgender youth with volunteer transgender adult mentors in 2015. The program now serves as a national model. Using our proven mentoring model, volunteers receive in-depth training on how to support these youth, who routinely face pervasive injustice, bias and mental illness in their daily lives. Research shows a quality mentoring relationship reduces the risk of suicide in the trans population by 50%. We want to expand our efforts in the LGBTQ+ arena through training, roundtables and enhanced match support for all of our mentors, our matches and for other youth-serving organizations in the community. Discrimination and bias often begin in childhood, as LGBTQ+ youth explore their gender identites. They are at high risk of harassment, physical and sexual violence, and suicide. We work with this underserved population in close partnership with other agencies.

COASTAL WATERSHED COUNCIL Organization Mission: The

Coastal Watershed Council was formed to address the declining health of watersheds connected to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, with a mission to preserve and protect coastal watersheds through community stewardship, education and monitoring. Since 1995, CWC has educated thousands of volunteers and thousands of students to monitor water quality, enhance habitat and protect the natural resources along our Central Coast.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 San Lorenzo River Health Days Santa Cruz formed because of the San Lorenzo River. The river remains our primary drinking water source, and is designated as a critical habitat for threatened and endangered species of fish. Most locals agree that our community deserves a healthy river ecosystem surrounded by safe and inviting parks. With your help, we can make further progress toward a vibrant riverfront. CWC is asking for support for River Health Days. We will engage volunteers, including youth groups and corporate teams, to remove invasive species and replace them with native plants. In addition to improving ecosystem health, these community work days reintroduce families and youth to the river through meaningful, positive experiences in nature. Last year, 674 CWC volunteers contributed 1,782 hours

of work and planted 2,120 native plants, replacing 6,450 square feet of ice plant.

COMMUNITY BRIDGES Organization Mission:

Community Bridges envisions a thriving community where every person has the opportunity to unleash their full potential. Our family of 10 vital programs across 20 sites meets the needs of nearly 20,000 local children, families and seniors each year with essential services, equitable access to resources and as advocates for health and dignity across every stage of life.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Food Stability for Homeless Seniors In 2017, 39% of homeless people in Santa Cruz County were over the age of 50, and 70% of homeless deaths were people over the age of 50. For the past five years, Meals on Wheels (MOW) for Santa Cruz County, a program of Community Bridges, has seen an increase in homeless senior participants at Louden Nelson Community Center. While MOW has been providing meals five days per week to eligible older adults (more than 650 warm, nutritious meals per week), to address food insecurity among the vulnerable homeless population, we have begun to assemble weekend meal packs that provide at least two nutritious meals. We are asking Santa Cruz Gives donors to join MOW efforts to ensure that no senior goes hungry, and support our goal to ensure that homeless seniors attending Louden Nelson will have nutritious meals on the weekends in 2020. Funding will provide participants two shelf-stable mealsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;meals they will not be able to receive otherwise because most dining facilities are closed on weekends.

DIENTES Organization Mission: To

create lasting oral health for underserved children and adults.

SANTA CRUZ GIVES

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Give Kids a Smile Day There is nothing quite like a toothache—it is all-consuming. Toothaches are the most common reason low-income children miss school, and they’re largely preventable. You can help make prevention more common than treatment, so that children are able to focus on school instead of a toothache. Give Kids a Smile Day provides free dental care for uninsured kids who would otherwise fall through the cracks—families who don’t qualify for public insurance and can’t afford expensive or even discounted dental care. The need in Santa Cruz County is huge. Two out of three people with public insurance (and many more lowincome, uninsured residents) are not receiving dental care. Dientes aims to create healthy habits and positive experiences with the dentist. With your generosity, we can prevent expensive treatment in the future and help kids continue good oral health throughout life. Your support is needed to get rid of toothaches, so local kids can get back to being kids.

FARM DISCOVERY AT LIVE EARTH Organization Mission: Farm

FOOD, WHAT?! Organization Mission: “Food,

Youth from Watsonville to Santa Cruz join the FoodWhat Crew through our spring internship, summer job training and fall project management programs. Within the supportive space of FoodWhat, youth grow, cook, eat, and distribute farm-fresh, organic food while addressing local food justice issues.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Youth-Powered Farm Stand For Community Health In our project, FoodWhat youth gain real-life work experience by running a “prescriptive” farm stand in partnership with Salud para la Gente and Lakeside Organic Gardens. Salud health care providers prescribe patients with diabetes a voucher to the youth-run farm stand stationed right outside the clinic. Some of the produce at the stand is grown and harvested by FoodWhat youth, and some is donated by our partner farm. At

food-insecure members often work in agriculture or are the children of agricultural workers. We address both issues by offering Santa Cruz County youth an opportunity to learn to grow healthy food through a 10-month paid internship that inspires them to pursue careers in agriculture or environmental education. The students gain a unique set of skills aligned with Next Generation Science Standards. Interns will spread their knowledge in the community by teaching thousands of local youth through our field trips and summer camp programs, passing on the skills to grow their own produce, along with cooking and preserving, tackling two major skill sets to benefit younger students and their families.

GIRLS INC. OF THE CENTRAL COAST Organization Mission: To

inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold, and to respect themselves and the world around them. Girls Inc. serves 1,700 girls in 41 schools with trained professionals (often older teens), who mentor them in a safe environment. Girls are inspired to pursue secondary education, develop leadership and decision-making skills, serve their communities, and acquire the ability and wisdom to lead healthy lifestyles.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Growing Together The relationship between a girl and her mother is so powerful, it affects everything from her health and selfesteem to setting the stage for all relationships throughout her life. Communication can be a common challenge for young girls and their mothers. As girls go through puberty and related physical, mental and emotional changes, the challenges can escalate. We hope to assist by supporting girls and their mothers or another significant adult with our new program: Growing Together. It’s designed to increase positive communication between girls ages

9-12 and their mothers, or possibly a sister, aunt, grandmother, or father. Your gift will support girls in Santa Cruz County for a weekly gettogether for four weeks to share activities aimed at learning about values, body changes, health and hygiene, nutrition and exercise, goals, problem-solving strategies, conflict resolution and positive communication.

GREY BEARS Organization Mission: Local

and vital, Grey Bears promotes nutrition, activity and social connection as a recipe for healthy aging. Our vision is that all seniors live healthy, meaningful lives. Grey Bears has evolved into one of the most efficient and resourceful food distribution, reuse and recycling nonprofits in the U.S.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Engage at Every Age Grey Bears is a nutritional lifeline for 3,800 low-income seniors, families and veterans, delivering weekly brown bags full of fresh produce and healthy staples to Santa Cruz County aging adults. Additional daily food distributions and 40,000 hot meals served annually nourish thousands more. It all adds up to more than 2 million pounds of food distributed each year. Hundreds of volunteers enjoy more than 20 volunteer opportunities. Their service makes our programs possible while cultivating social support systems and health benefits for both volunteers and participants. Weekly classes include tech help, Spanish, cooking, chair yoga, fix-it clinics, and luncheon events designed to keep seniors active and socially engaged, and help them age with joy, grace and dignity.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Saving Santa Cruz Monarchs Monarchs are on the verge of collapse, and have declined 99% on the West Coast since the 1980s. Santa Cruz is a monarch hotspot where Lighthouse Field State Beach Park is home to the secondlargest overwintering population of monarch butterflies in California.

Mission: In the soil of our urban farm and garden, people find the tools they need to build a home in the world. Our Vision: We envision a thriving and inclusive community, workforce, and local food system. We Value: The capacity of every individual for growth and renewal, the joy that comes from growing and sharing healthy food, the well-being created by vibrant social and natural ecosystems.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Two Steps Closer to Home The Homeless Garden Project (HGP) is building a new, permanent home, Pogonip Farm. Located within the City of Santa Cruz’s Pogonip greenbelt, our new 9-acre farm will triple our capacity to transform lives and build community connections. Serving as a national model, Pogonip Farm will be the heart of HGP’s dynamic agriculture program for people who are experiencing homelessness. We help to transform lives by finding homes, providing job training, teaching skills, providing volunteer opportunities, and stewarding land through organic farming. Last year, 100% of our trainee graduates obtained stable employment and stable housing, and more than 7,000 pounds of fresh, organic produce were distributed to nonprofits throughout Santa Cruz County, feeding 2,500-plus people. Strong bonds are formed by our community of volunteers, interns, customers, and trainees that break down the profound sense of isolation felt by many people experiencing homelessness.

HOUSING MATTERS Organization Mission:

Homeless Services Center partners with individuals and families to create pathways out of their homelessness into permanent housing.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Youth Rapid Re-Housing The number of young adults experiencing homelessness in Santa Cruz County has grown more than 30% in the past two years. Many homeless young adults were emancipated from our foster care system, and have little or no familial support. Imagine prepping for your first day of school or a job interview without a place to call home. With your support, we can help 100 homeless young people ages

In 2011, Mesa Verde Gardens launched its first garden for 30 low-income families to address the lack of access to fresh produce for people who harvest our nation’s food supply.

Help launch an heirloom seedlings social enterprise! We look forward to partnering with you to provide culturally-matched seedlings at no cost for families. We will use a seed bank established by farmworkers and provide them the opportunity to propagate seedlings from communal heirloom seeds, enabling families to provide their own food and eliminating an expense. To do this, we need funds to help cover labor and materials to remodel our greenhouse and establish the seedling operations. Our cooperative social enterprise involves selling our organic heirloom seedlings to the public at the Watsonville farmers market, generating funds to continue our work, and increasing our visibility in the community. Your contribution will go toward ensuring member families’ immediate need for food security, increasing sustainable farming practices, fostering seed biodiversity, and stewardship of our local habitat.

MOUNTAINS 2 SEA Organization Mission: Nature

provides a remarkable catalyst for personal growth, and a healthy lifestyle. We use outdoor adventure learning to help underserved youth achieve their potential. In the mountains and on the sea, participants develop a strong foundation for health, increase their well-being, expand their environmental awareness, and gain

SANTA CRUZ GIVES practical life skills. Mountains 2 Sea partners with schools to provide youth with weekly outings that focus on leadership skills, goal setting, personal reflection, social-emotional development, and the human impact on our environment.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Climb to New Heights and Sail into the Future Mountains 2 Sea works closely with the alternative education departments of the city of Santa Cruz School District and the Santa Cruz County Office of Education. We will select 40 students to receive a full, transformative experience, with your support. The districts are able to fund a small portion of the cost of our services, and we are asking donors to help fill the gap by providing scholarship funds for students to underwrite two of the essential outdoor experiences: six annual sailing outings on the Nomad sailboat out of Santa Cruz Harbor, and three rock climbing opportunities at nearby state parks and at Pacific Edge Climbing Gym. Climbing outings include safety and belay certification, climbing skills classes and an outdoor climb in Castle Rock State Park, where students practice what they learned in the gym.

Nourishing Generations Educational Project is dedicated to educating children, families, and community members of all ages about cooking and eating a healthy, whole-foods diet, and enjoying regular exercise in order to maximize optimal health and minimize disease.

a fun fitness program for all third, fourth and fifth graders after school at all three Live Oak District elementary schools (Live Oak, Del Mar, Green Acres). This engaging program will get 150 kids excited about eating and cooking healthy food, empower them with knowledge about nutrition, and teach them about healthy lifestyle choices in order to lower the incidence of childhood obesity and diabetes. This six-week series of two-hour, hands-on classes at each school is led by passionate chefs, nutrition educators and fitness instructors.

PAJARO VALLEY LOAVES AND FISHES FOOD PANTRY AND KITCHEN Organization Mission: Our

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 A Safer, Greener, Healthier Dining Room For the past 30 years, we’ve been a frontline, boot-strapping food pantry and lunch program touching thousands of lives each year with a limited budget and efficient operations carried out by hundreds of dedicated volunteers and a smallbut-nimble staff of three. Receiving, storing and distributing more than 500,000 pounds of food each year has taken a toll on the asphalt surface of our outdoor dining room and driveway. It’s time for repair and resurfacing so we can continue to serve hundreds of lunch guests 260 days each year. In 2007, we paid off our mortgage, in 2008 erected the outdoor dining shelter, in 2016 installed a handicap accessible ramp, and in 2018 installed solar panels. All of

than a roof, families need a strong foundation to rebuild a happy home. Pajaro Valley Shelter Services (PVSS) provides the roof and the foundation! PVSS provides families with a path to stable, self-sufficient futures through short-term and longer-term housing and supportive services.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Trauma Recovery for Families Affected by Homelessness PVSS is the only organization in the Pajaro Valley to offer emergency shelter and transitional housing for both unsheltered families with children and families in substandard housing, which is why 220 families were on our waiting list last year. PVSS is successful at helping 70% of client families move into stable housing. The experience of homelessness makes families vulnerable to additional traumatic experiences. Our case managers ensure that families are not traumatized again after entry into our programs and provide access to support, including counseling and support groups. Funds raised through Santa Cruz Gives will cover the cost of outpatient counseling for clients, as well as staff training in traumainformed case management. Outpatient counseling will complement in-house case management, helping families build a better future for themselves.

REGENERACIÓNPÁJARO VALLEY CLIMATE ACTION Organization Mission: We

work with community partners to empower everyone in the Pájaro Valley to respond locally to the

global challenge of a changing climate. What we do: educate residents to make choices and take actions that reduce carbon emissions; elevate the stories of how climate change impacts the community; grow new young environmental justice champions by providing them a platform and amplifying their voices, actions, and leadership; expand leadership in underrepresented communities to inform local strategies that address climate change.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Young Climate Justice Activists Rising Up! In the Pájaro Valley and around the world, young people are rising up to demand that communities and governments respond to the climate emergency with action and policy change. They see that they will be left with the results of humanity’s collective action or inaction. We are all about solutions! In 2020 Regeneración will meet with young activists, listen to their ideas, and offer tools for preventing burnout, leading effective meetings, and eliminating the obstacles to building a unified movement to protect life. We will help connect young leaders with mentors, resources and other youth, and support their work. We will produce short videos to distribute via social media channels to present local solutions and climate justice messages from young people (in partnership with Inspira Studios). Other projects include Earth Week April 2020 at Pájaro Valley High, and participation during global youth climate strikes and rallies.

RESOURCE CENTER FOR NONVIOLENCE Organization Mission: The

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Launch of Safe Families for Children in Santa Cruz

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Cultural Exchange Selma

Not only is it beautiful to see families get onto a healthy track, but the financial impact on the community is grand. Our average cost per child is $1,500; the average annual cost in foster care is $32,000 per child. Over a lifetime of potential foster care, the fiscal impact on Santa Cruz is predictably immense. Our child-return-to-family rate is 94%; the national foster care average return rate is approximately 50%. Our soft launch of the Santa Cruz chapter was in 2019, and we have more requests for support than we can provide. Funding is requested for volunteer recruitment, screenings, training and supervision to increase service to struggling families, and lower the risk for child abuse and neglect. Our goal is to serve 30 children in Santa Cruz County and expand to at least 50 volunteers in 2020.

SAFE FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN, SANTA CRUZ Organization Mission: Safe

Families for Children is a volunteerfueled movement with the mission of creating a world where children are safe and families transformed through radically compassionate communities. We aim to reduce the number of families entering foster care by offering prevention-based intervention. Safe Families hosts vulnerable children with family-like support through devoted volunteers motivated by compassion to keep children safe and families intact.

Scholarships for Cultural Exchange Selma will support Santa Cruz County young people aged 16-25 to gain certification in Kingian Nonviolence in a 5-day training led by Dr. Bernard LaFayette in Selma, Alabama. Students will also join in the Selma Bridge Crossing Jubilee, reenacting the historic Pettus Bridge crossing with thousands of people and civil rights leaders Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. William Barber. The journey takes place Feb. 25-March 5 and will develop knowledge, skills and relationships needed for participation in our multicultural society. Your donations will fund young people, but the program provides opportunities for adults of all ages to integrate multicultural understanding and develop culturally inclusive perspectives. The trip will include meeting civil rights “foot soldiers,” touring the Ancient Africa, Enslavement and Civil War Museum, the national Voting Rights Museum, and the EJI National Peace and Justice Museum (with lynching exhibit). Participants will meet members of the Selma Center for Nonviolence, Truth and Reconciliation.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER FOUNDATION Organization Mission: Our

Foundation supports the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter (SCCAS), the primary organization safeguarding the lives of domestic animals. With an intake exceeding 5,000 animals a year, SCCAS has municipal funding for core services, but the key preventive initiatives require independent funding: spay/neuter clinics, training classes, humane education, and community outreach. The goal of the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is to help SCCAS fund special projects, and to ensure program stability and expansion of proven preventive outreach.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Animobile—Community Outreach Vehicle The solution to animal neglect, abandonment and overpopulation lies in education and prevention. The foundation has strengthened its programs that help animals and their guardians beyond the shelter’s doors by funding a large multipurpose van. The Animobile allows Shelter staff to reach pets where they live. Our big idea involves raising funds to support ancillary programs and maximize their impact now that we have the means to deliver services countywide. We are reaching out to Santa Cruz Gives to fund important

special projects, including our “Animobile.” Programs the Animobile can support include: Planned Pethood, a sliding-scaleto-free spay/neuter and microchip service for low income residents; door-to-door service from the bilingual shelter staff providing dog vaccinations, dog houses, trolley systems, collars, leashes, dog and cat flea medication, and spay/neuter vouchers (concentrating in Watsonville); Healthy Pets for All, a cooperative effort with volunteer veterinarians and vet techs providing pop-up clinics for low-income populations. The Animobile will bring free pet food, flea medication, food bowls, ID tags, leashes, collars, and support staff.

SANTA CRUZ SPCA AND HUMANE SOCIETY Organization Mission: The

Santa Cruz SPCA provides safe harbor for animals in need and promotes an active humane community through adoption, advocacy and education.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Support for Seniors Many Santa Cruz County seniors struggle to keep their pets healthy while making ends meet. We provide financial support for seniors’ dogs or cats of any age that need care their owners cannot afford. We are asking Santa Cruz Gives donors to support a two-part program where recipients can benefit from one part or both! Part one provides veterinary care to low-income seniors through two annual preventative care Wellness Days (vaccinations, parasite management, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and yearly exams) or through private diagnostic and treatment appointments available all year. Part two connects senior pets with senior people and waives the adoption fee when a great match is found. It includes the

Only with adequate nutrition can children learn, adults work and the community thrive. Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County’s Big Idea for 2020 is supporting Breakfast For Kids, a program that provides breakfast foods to families with children through our food distribution networks. Last year, we added 92,300 pounds of healthy breakfast foods to the community, including eggs, ground turkey, milk, and tortillas, specifically for families with children attending our more than 100 pantry and Food For Children sites, such as churches, Head Start, WIC (Women Infants Children), community centers and more. Second Harvest’s strength is the capacity to receive and distribute food on a large scale, as we work closely with local farmers, distributors and retailers to source dietary staples, fresh fruit and vegetables. We also advocate for policies that tackle the root causes of hunger. Some 3,000 volunteers help power Second Harvest Food Bank, allowing us to distribute a staggering 8 million pounds of food each year.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Cultural Arts Pathways for Latino Youth Sharing the rich culture of Mexico. Connecting young people to their heritage. Creating a sense of belonging for immigrant families. These add up to academic success, and break down borders in our community by promoting acceptance and understanding. Senderos’ 2020 project is to meet the increased demand for free afterschool traditional (and bilingual) music instruction and Mexican folkloric dance. The needs are for instruments to expand the music lending library and traditional dance outfits for live performances. Our programs enhance selfesteem and support our goal that all participants attend college. In 2019, we presented nine college scholarships to seniors attending UC Riverside, UC Davis, UCSC, CSUMB, and Cabrillo.

SHARED ADVENTURES Organization Mission: Founded

on the belief that recreation, fun, challenge, and access to the outdoors are an essential part of a healthy and fulfilling life, Shared Adventures is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. We create opportunities to enjoy arts, social interaction and the natural environment through activities that achieve optimal physical, mental, social-emotional, behavioral, and spiritual health, which benefit the individual and community.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Recreation and Challenges for Healthy Lives Shared Adventures successfully serves the disabled community of Santa Cruz County with more than 50 activities and 2,000 participants per year, and will now broaden its programming to include other special needs communities, such as those in recovery, the homeless, foster youth, and veterans.

When special needs individuals share experiences with others who also need help, the benefits are multiplied many times as giving and receiving occurs among the various participants. Moving the self-image from needy to helper, from sick to enjoyment, brings huge dividends to those engaged, as studies and experience show. Participation in recreation, and the challenges it brings along with joy, leads to health and personal growth for individuals of special needs populations.

TEEN KITCHEN PROJECT Organization Mission: The

Teen Kitchen Project builds healthier communities by cooking food. Chefs and nutritionists help volunteer teens cook nourishing meals that are delivered to individuals and families in crisis due to severe illness throughout Santa Cruz County.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 More Teens, More Meals The Teen Kitchen Project (TKP) provides teens with an opportunity to learn cooking skills while giving back to our community. Teen chefs volunteer thousands of hours every year to provide meals to clients, most of whom are economically disadvantaged, live alone without support, and are not served by other meal programs. TKP provides a vital service for families struggling with illness while empowering teens and building community. Our van picks up at high schools to transport youth to our kitchens in Soquel and Watsonville. After renting kitchens for eight years, TKP has the opportunity to expand by building our own kitchen with building expenses covered by a private foundation. But we need to raise funds for all the equipment in the kitchen, including a tilt skillet so we can start cooking once the location is complete in early 2020! It is not as small as it sounds! A tilt skillet is a piece of equipment with

a large area of heated steel at the bottom, allowing us to make large quantities of soups and stews at once. The new kitchen will save $25,000 per year on rent and allow us to serve youth Monday-Friday, increasing our direct impact from 40 to 60 youth, with the capacity to add more in the future, and enable us to grow our catering program, which employs local youth for added income. Use us for your next event!

THE DIVERSITY CENTER Organization Mission:

Celebrating three decades of work in Santa Cruz County, the Diversity Center advocates for, supports and celebrates our area’s LGBTQ+ community. As the only LGBTQ+ community center on the Central Coast, we remain committed to advancing the causes and priorities of the thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning men and women we serve.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Camp OUT: Summer Camp for LGBTQ+ Kids We are offering a camp where LGBTQ+ kids help each other put up their tents, learn how to cook, share their struggles around the campfire about coming out as LGBTQ+, and find other campers just like them, usually for the very first time LGBTQ+ youth face a far greater risk than their non-LGBTQ+ peers of suicide, mental illness, depression, bullying, assault, and substance use. It’s our goal to help our community’s youth feel connected to one another, build self-confidence, experience emotional and physical safety, be inspired as future leaders, and have fun! Our programs are run with the guidance and compassion of savvy adult mentors. We reach approximately 10,000 individuals a year through on-site programs, outreach and education events, and work with schools, thanks to individual donations and hundreds of volunteers. Please join

us as the need grows for LGBTQ+ support.

UNCHAINED Organization Mission:

UnChained fosters empathy, respect and responsibility in youth through the human-animal bond.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Dogs-in-Residence Program UnChained works with two vulnerable populations in Santa Cruz County: homeless dogs and at-risk youth. Our principal program, Canines Teaching Compassion, teaches youth to train shelter dogs in basic skills and manners. The youth help the dogs find homes while developing patience, respect and responsibility. The youth identify with their program dog because they, too, may have been neglected by caregivers or lived behind bars. Evidence shows that when youth learn kindness and empathy toward animals, they transfer those skills to their human relationships. Your donation will help to develop a Dogs-in-Residence program in 2020 with select partners, so that teams of youth can provide foster care and training for rescue dogs to be adopted. Living with a dog provides young people with a greater bond and responsibility for the dog’s well-being while learning to work with peers for the dog’s benefit.

VOLUNTEER CENTER Organization Mission:

Education is the key to better jobs, successful children, strong communities, and thriving democracy. The Volunteer Center’s Literacy Program transforms the lives of local families by empowering adults to gain the basic literacy, math and education needed to succeed as workers, parents and community members. We train and support local volunteer tutors and match them with neighbors who are motivated to improve their lives through education.

SANTA CRUZ GIVES

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Stand for the American Dream Most American families started with a dreamer who moved here and worked hard to make a better life for their family. Our volunteer tutors work with 200+ dreamers every year. They meet in homes, churches, workplaces, and our office to give neighbors skills to succeed. We want to support immigrants and refugees by expanding services to support 60 families on our waiting list and double the number of students we help to become citizens. Citizenship is essential to empower our neighbors to have a voice in the community they love, and the education we provide lasts far into the future: It lasts a lifetime. By improving English, math and practical language skills, we empower local families to reach their goals of a better life. We show them that the American values of diversity, community and welcoming newcomers are strong here in Santa Cruz County. Our students, on average, learn faster than the California Adult Education Benchmarks, because our allvolunteer tutors provide individual attention and content that is immediately useful in everyday life.

WARMING CENTER PROGRAM Organization Mission: There

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Not One Person has to Sleep Outside on the Worst Nights of Winter There are far too few traditional homeless shelter beds in Santa Cruz County, and those that exist shut out many in need with strict arrival times, locked doors and rules that may prevent access. Warming Center ensures that everyone may seek safe, warm, clean, and dignified shelter on the coldest or wettest nights of winter. Warming Center operates shelters in Santa Cruz and Watsonville. We feature an outreach program, an easy-to-remember hotline (2461234), and a shuttle pick-up location serving soup and hot drinks to entice those who rarely access shelter. We prioritize those with physical mobility and mental health challenges, as they often have difficulty accessing and maintaining shelter. The program activates when temperatures reach 36-38 degrees and in extreme rain events (1” in one day, .75” in each of two days, or .5” in each of three days), serving 150 people on a single night. Our volunteer, communityfunded program is only able to provide a level of service equal to the amount of community support received. A compassionate community demands that no one has to sleep outside during extreme cold and rain.

will be no traditional winter shelter this year supported by the city and county of Santa Cruz. Warming Center will be the only option for many who sleep outside this season. Warming Center addresses unmet basic needs of homelessness not provided by other funding sources (government and other organizations). Programs include our coldest and wettest nights shelter to eliminate the occurrence of hypothermia and death. Our Day & Night Storage keeps personal belongings safe and reduces the items people must carry around. Laundry Wednesday allows people to maintain their clothing and hygiene.

freshwater wetlands that underlie the city. The solution: plant trees. Watsonville Wetlands Watch was inspired by Watsonville’s 2012 Urban Greening Plan, which called for planting 30,000 new trees, and we partnered with the city to restore the area’s wetlands, urban forests and watersheds. This work can improve the water quality of the Monterey Bay, save an important ecosystem and enhance the public health of the Watsonville community. We’ll incorporate art, music and education to inspire locals about Watsonville’s urban forests. The trees will help shade and cool schools, improve access to nature and provide opportunities for youth to take leadership roles in restoring the forest.

WINGS HOMELESS ADVOCACY Organization Mission: Wings

Homeless Advocacy is committed to living out our values of compassion, dignity and respect for all people by uniting our community to be volunteer advocates for those moving out of homelessness and onto a path of healing— working together to end chronic homelessness in Santa Cruz County.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Make a House a Home Wings works at the intersection of homelessness and housing. Our volunteers and two part-time staff find that the best way for us to advocate for a newly housed, recently homeless participant is to simply care and support basic needs. Wings has been offering Welcome Home baskets full of essential personal care and household items for several years. We added new, refurbished mattress sets with community donations, and this year, with your help, we are excited to expand to donate pillows and bedding for those moving into permanent housing. One volunteer’s encouragement

can make all the difference in helping a chronically homeless person make a 180-degree turn. We also offer transportation to important appointments, help clients obtain vital documents, offer free haircuts, and much more.

YOUTH N.O.W. Organization Mission: Youth

N.O.W. is committed to engaging youth in a nurturing community where each individual can grow personally and academically through individualized programs that cultivate success.

BIG IDEA FOR 2020 Cultivating Success 2020 For 10 years, Youth N.O.W. has served the youth of Watsonville and greater Pajaro Valley through its free academic, social and emotional support programs. We give our youth tools and the support of caring mentors so they may gain confidence in school and in life, connect with peers in a safe social setting, receive enrichment to broaden their creative interests, and most importantly, feel connected to a place of nurturance. Cultivating Success is an annual event that recognizes six inspiring middle and high school youth in the areas of academic dedication, growth and leadership. We bring together youth, families, community partners, members, donors, and youth advocates to hear each student speak about how Youth N.O.W. has positively impacted their lives. Each student receives a small scholarship honoring their achievements that helps our youth to purchase school supplies, pay for upcoming college expenses or explore creative interests. Your donation will allow us to increase the dollar amount of our spring scholarships from $100 to $500 to ensure our youth are capable of thriving in fall 2020. We would also like to establish a scholarship fund for future graduates.

be followed by two days of on-stage discussions on campus with a number of people in fields as diverse as the arts, media, astrophysics, genomics, and academia. FrankenCon also coincides with a two-weekend run of Kirsten Brandt’s original adaptation The Frankenstein Project at Theater Arts Mainstage at UCSC, playing for seven performances Nov. 15-24. The play is a reinvigoration of Shelley’s tale recast with female leads as Dr. Frankenstein and the Creature. UCSC theatre-arts professor Michael Chemers, well-known on campus for his popular course titled “Monsters,” is the moderator and one of the chief organizers of the event. “What we’re really trying to do with this conference is investigate how the myth of Frankenstein, the legend of Frankenstein, the story of Frankenstein, is imbricated deeply into many different aspects of our culture,” he says, “and how we think about big ideas like, ‘What is the role of ethics in science? What is the responsibility of the creator to the created? What is the responsibility of the strong to the weak?’ It’s about parenthood. It’s about the relationships of gods to the things they create, and the responsibility of leaders to their followers.” After the showing of the Whale films at the Comedy Lounge, Chemers will lead a post-screening discussion of the films with GT editor Steve Palopoli, UCSC literature professor Renee Fox and Digital Arts and New Media lecturer Tad Leckman. The next day, Chemers will have separate one-on-one discussions with YA novelist Kiersten White (The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein) and playwright and screenwriter Jennifer Haley (Mindhunter). Nov. 22 and 23 will also feature more roundtable discussions: One on the artistic legacy of Frankenstein with UCSC faculty, including Fox, game designer Micha Cardenas, literature prof Marshall Leicester, and historian Nathaniel Deutsch. The second discussion focuses on science and ethics with Genomics Institute professor David Haussler, sociologist Jenny Reardon, and astrophysicist (and former UCSC

chancellor) George Blumenthal. Chemers says that Frankenstein merits particular attention because of its broad influences in everything from folk myth to science fiction. For instance, the portrayal of robots in the popular imagination owes a thematic debt to Frankenstein. “All the dramas about A.I. beings running amok, the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, Bladerunner,” he says. “These are all Frankenstein stories.” Brandt’s play has some nods to the horror-movie Frankenstein of popular imagination, but mostly, it’s drawn from the Shelley novel. Making the main characters female has added new dimensions to the relationship between the creator and the creation. The play delves deep into science, from period obsessions like alchemy and anatomy to modern-day technologies like stem-cell research, biotechnology and transplant surgery. Brandt says the play is 90 minutes packed with Black Mirror-style themes of technology’s ethical gray areas. “It’s scary, it’s freaky, it’s beautiful,” she says. “I don’t want it to haunt anybody, necessarily, but I do want (audiences) to process it. It’s not, ‘I get to see a monster movie.’ It’s more asking you to think about right now, about what we create. As parents, or creators, what’s our responsibility?”

FRANKENCON The Frankenstein Project, written and directed by Kirsten Brandt will be performed Nov. 15-17 and 21-24. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 3pm at Mainstage Theater Arts, UCSC. ucsctickets.com. James Whale’s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein will be screened Thursday, Nov. 21 at DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 S. River St. Santa Cruz. 7pm. $10. Conference roundtable discussions take place Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22 and 23, at Digital Arts Research Center and Second Stage Theater Arts, UCSC. Free. For full schedule, go to frankencon.com.

Andy’s Corner

If you are asked what the meaning of your painting is, stay calm, only you know what you were trying to bring from your mind to the canvas. Everyone has different experiences which they see the world through. If someone comes to a different interpretation than what you intended, by all means speak up and say what you intended, but be polite and respective of their interpretation. Many old works of art endure in spite of the cultural identity they were born in has faded, this is because their art can stand on its own, and continues to inspire new ideas. Be happy your work can spawn more than just the idea you intended. —Matthew (Filling in for Andy.) Questions: andy@lenzarts.com

SING ALONG IF YOU KNOW THE WORDS Eddie Spaghetti plays solo at Moe’s Alley

with the Butthole Surfers’ J.D. Pinkus on Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Say What To Eddie Spaghetti, lyrics matter BY STEVE PALOPOLI Suck It are, “I’m already dead inside” and, “I’m gonna choke myself and masturbate ’til I die.” Surprise! Or maybe no surprise, to fans already familiar with Spaghetti’s twisted sense of humor, and his love of outrageous songwriting paired with deceptively classic hard-rock riffage. “For me, unfortunately, the words really, really matter. It’s like my favorite part of the whole process,” he says. “And when a band has both, that’s when they’re really good. When the lyrics and the rock are both solid, it’s so much more complete for me.” That’s part of what has made Spaghetti’s solo career so interesting. When he plays live without the band, as he will at Moe’s Alley on Wednesday, Nov. 20, he brings a

different slant to his Supersuckers songs. And on his solo albums, amid the new tunes and covers, there’s almost always an acoustic reworking of one of the band’s classics. Besides giving the song a different vibe, it also puts the lyrics front and center in a way they never really are on the band’s high-octane rock records. For instance, the way he redid “When I Go, I’m Gone” (originally on the Supersuckers’ 2008 album Get It Together) for his last solo album, turning lines like, “Nothing more than a memory lives on/No one’s life is so charmed/And when I buy the farm/I just want everyone to move on” from a sort of defiant mission statement to a tender ballad of acceptance. “It’s a song that I wouldn’t mind

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019

he Supersuckers just got back from a month of touring Europe with the Australian hard rock band Airbourne, and the band’s longtime frontman Eddie Spaghetti was reminded of a valuable lesson about rock music. “What I’ve suspected for a long time, and what was reinforced on this tour, is that the words don’t matter,” he says. “It doesn’t matter what a band is singing about, it’s more about the spirit and the tone of it.” With a band like the Supersuckers, that can get very complicated. Case in point: the refrains of two of the most kick-ass, hard-rockin’, seemingly feel-good tunes on their most recent album

being played at my funeral, to be morbid about it,” says Spaghetti. Luckily, that funeral is coming later than it might have, after Spaghetti was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015. He feels back in top form again, having gone through treatment in his typical smartassbut-brutally-honest way. He’s still shocked at the support he received from fans and fellow musicians like Eddie Vedder, who performed at a fundraiser for his medical costs. “It really helped a lot to get all that support, not only financially but also emotionally,” he says. “It was one of the best things that came out of cancer. It was like getting to hear what everybody thinks about you after you die, only you’re not dead. It was kind of great.” This solo tour is coming later than it might have, too, because he’s been loving the dynamic in the band so much. “The guys in the band are so great to work with, the urge to go and record a solo record isn’t nearly as strong as it was a few years back, when the lineup was kind of confused and weird and a few attitudes in the band had changed,” he says. “It’s a way more healthy environment than I’ve ever had.” He’s co-headlining on this tour with Jeff “J.D.” Pinkus, the longtime bassist of the Butthole Surfers. The pair go way back to when the Supersuckers toured with Butthole Surfers in 1994. Spaghetti laughs recalling the tour, which he describes as “fuckin’ weird, man. Gibby Haynes is off the hook. The dude’s insane. It was like at the height—they’d had that big hit [“Pepper”], and they were touring on that.” He says the audience is welcome to call out for their favorite Supersuckers songs at the show. And he’s happy they’ll get to hear the words a little better—though that doesn’t mean he gets all pretentious about it. “I’m not afraid of writing dumb songs. I like dumb songs, too,” he says. “But I still want the words to be cool, even in a dumb one.”

MUSIC

BUILD UP Acclaimed jazz trio Steel House performs Thursday at Kuumbwa.

House Rules NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Constructing a new jazz sound in Steel House BY ANDREW GILBERT

hile Steel House’s 2017 debut album was quickly deemed an artistic triumph that expanded the possibilities of jazz, the trio’s greatest accomplishment may have been the sheer feat of logistics it required to get the musicians in the same place at the same time. Featuring Venezuelanborn pianist Ed Simon, bassist Scott Colley and drummer Brian Blade, Steel House brings together three of jazz’s most sought-after accompanists. The trio performs Thursday at Kuumbwa, part of a rare spate of gigs before they hit the studio to record their second album. It’s not that they don’t get to play together often. Over the past 25 years, they’ve all worked

and recorded together in various combinations, both on their own projects and with other storied bandleaders’. A superlative rhythm section tandem, Blade and Colley are founding members of Joshua Redman’s Still Dreaming, and Simon and Colley have performed widely with guitarist Adam Rogers and saxophonist David Binney. But the three musicians all together, with time to focus, therein lies the logistical feat. After a brief series of gigs led to the first Steel House recording session in Sonoma, “We just haven’t toured much since then,” says Simon. “We would love to be playing together more often, but everyone is so busy. We have to plan way in advance in order to get together for two weeks.”

The creative groundwork led Simon, Blade and Colley to seek out a new context for their collaboration where they could cultivate “a certain aesthetic, a sensitivity and melodic sense the three of us gravitate toward,” Colley says. “We’ve played so much as a rhythm section for other musicians and composers. We wanted to get together to explore the different textures and things that we gravitate towards instinctively. One of the things for sure is a real melodic sense, and a degree of patience that I see in Edward and Brian.” Rather than adding another piano, bass and drums trio into the jazz mix, Steel House has turned into a home for lyrical compositions that often feel like fleshed-out songs more than jazz tunes. Simon artfully

contributes keyboard textures, subtle production touches that accentuate the music’s lithe lyricism without weighing it down. “We’ve played at the Village Vanguard and did it completely acoustic, so we can go in that direction,” Simon says. “But when you hear the record, you can hear we’re writing songs, a little more produced. Not pop production, but definitely that element. I think we’ll continue that direction on the next record.” Steel House is the latest destination for Simon, whose epic musical journey started in 1984 at the age of 15, when he left his home in Punta Cardón, Venezuela, and moved by himself to Pennsylvania. Landing in Manhattan in 1988, Simon quickly established himself as an essential new voice through touring and recording with altoist Bobby Watson and trumpeter Terence Blanchard. At the center of a wave of brilliant Latin American musicians who transformed the New York scene in the 1990s with influences beyond Cuba and Brazil, Simon recorded a series of acclaimed albums documenting his ambition as a composer. Simon’s latest album, 2018’s Sorrows & Triumphs, features his quartet Afinidad with Blade and Colley, and the Imani Winds, an exploratory quintet known for collaborations with jazz masters Wayne Shorter, Paquito D’Rivera, and Jason Moran. Steel House offers a very different path, avoiding the tropes and forms that define so many jazz trios. Rather than focusing on accompaniment, Colley often takes the lead. And instead of a theme followed by a string of solos, the music unfolds via extended ensemble passages that barely require solos at all. “You start to feel confined by those roles and categories,” Simon says. “After a while you outgrow them. You want to be free to do something completely different. There should be space for all of that.” Steel House performs at 7pm on Thursday, Nov. 14, at Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $31.50 adv/$36.75 door. 427-2227.

LOCAL BAND THE POOR CARTERS

Singer/mandolin player RT Bob Carter has played in 17 bands over the past 50 years, mostly in Santa Cruz County. One of his biggest was the Woodshed Bluegrass Band in the ’80s, and three years ago, he formed yet another string ensemble, the Poor Carters.

NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“I put this group together so we could play our old-timey music. It’s not the most commercially viable sound, but it’s a fun sound,” Carter says. “My background is traditional and old-time music. I just love to play fiddle songs. Nobody plays fiddle songs.”

By fiddle tunes, he means dust bowlera Appalachian music. Other than a few standards from this period, most of the Poor Carters’ songs are originals written by him and guitarist/ banjo player Bob Peters. They also throw in some western swing and contemporary honky-tonk. The group, which also features Tricia Muren on standup bass and daughter Ariel Carter on the fiddle, aims to capture the upbeat, and fast-paced feel good music of Appalachia. The band is named after one of the one of the genre’s most famous groups, the Carter Family. “The Carter family is very big and traditional,” he says. “We are the Poor Carters, the ones that didn’t make it big.” The group plays frequent community events, plus monthly shows at Lulu Carpenters and Carter’s songwriter showcases at the Santa Cruz Food Lounge. AARON CARNES 9pm. Friday, Nov. 15, Blue Lagoon, 923 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 423-7117.

WEDNESDAY 11/13 METAL

HELMET As we come to the end of 2019, Helmet wraps up their 30th anniversary spreading the gospel of metal on this glorious rock we call Earth. Throughout the ’90s, Helmet continued to defy genres, breaking onto MTV and the radio while influencing the musicians who would form System of a Down, Mastodon and others. While the band has continued to change, with founder Page Hamilton as the only constant, it still pulls no punches when it comes to the drop-D chords. MAT WEIR 9pm. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20. 423-1338.

FRIDAY 11/15 HIP-HOP

JAZE EARL Jaze Earl used to rap under the name Juba Zaki. He also used to rap in Rue Des Pêcheres, a nine-piece bilingual hip-hop group out of Belgium

that alternately spat in English and French and mixed musical genres like an experimental, international stew. These days, Jaze may be on his own, but he sounds as nimble and confident as he did back in Brussels atop a bed of bass, brass and percussion. In either situation, he stays on the top of the beat, his flow weighty, wellknit and pouring forth like a tapestry unfurled. MIKE HUGUENOR

Wave track “You Are So Pretty” is just weird, with nothing but Jennifer Lawrence memes in the video. They’re probably just messing with us. AC

THUMPASAURUS When Devo hit Middle America with jerky New Wave hit “Whip it,” the band explained in interviews that the song provided life advice for anyone dealing with problems. Weirdo funk-punkers Thumpasaurus have their own life-advice song with the crunchy “Mental Karate.” (“Mental karate, choppin’ all the bad thoughts.”) Who knows, maybe it’s operating on a deeper level of social satire.

Then this year, they landed a half-hour show on Comedy Central. They’re back to the live format, but this time as a touring act. AC 7 & 9:30pm. DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 S.

INCENDIO Incendio are, in a word, caliente. Virtuosic and infectious, the quartet plays world-fusion with a distinctly Latin flavor, filled with pyrotechnic acoustic guitar work and galloping Cumbia rhythms. Though almost entirely Californian (and extremely well trained in classical guitar), you’d be forgiven for thinking the band formed naturally, dust made into flesh in a swirl of hot breeze off the Chihuahuan Desert. On Sunday, they play Michael’s in the height of the af-

MONDAY 11/18 MIGUEL ZENON Alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón possesses a radiant sound with a molten core that never loses its beautiful sheen. While he interpreted the music of Monk and Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Joe Henderson as a founding member of the SFJAZZ Collective, Zenón has defined himself as a composer and bandleader by delving deep into the music of Puerto Rico, where he was born and raised. He returns to Kuumbwa celebrating the release of his recent album Sonero: The Music of Ismael Rivera, which pays tribute to the legendary Puerto Rican vocalist. Zenón’s instrumental arrangements explore an array of Rivera’s best known songs, evoking his rhythmic inventiveness and powerful presence. ANDREW GILBERT 7pm.

In Venezuela, if you want to par-tay, chances are you’d pop on one of Los Amigos Invisibles’ 11 explosively danceable albums. Or better yet, you’d go check out the band live and get immersed in the funky, disco-infused electro-pop grooves. The group, which started in 1991, quickly gained an international audience when signed by David Byrne to his eclectic Luaka Bop record label. The group plays the best kind of dance music. Not only does it have wide-ranging influences, but it sneaks in some sophisticated lyrics, which you may not fully hear since you’ll be dancing so hard. AC

the ’80s has often been criticized for glorifying violence and for generally being misogynist. There’s some truth there, but it’s painting the music with too broad of a brush. You have to look at each individual artist. One of the best—and one of the few women dancehall artists from this era—is Sister Carol. Her music is uplifting, and her ability to spit out verses at lighting speed will put a smile on your face, no matter how much you claim to like dancehall or not. AC

Surfer and marine advocate Jack O’Neill is a Santa Cruz icon. He is known for inventing the wetsuit, which impacts the lives of about 54% of the city on a near-weekly basis. With that in mind, it’s no wonder the Dream Inn named their casually elegant restaurant after him. The food is fresh, sourced locally and prepared sustainably. You can dine surrounded by surfboards and Jack O’Neill memorabilia to make you feel even more Santa Cruz than you already are.

FILM

CONDUCTING HERSELF Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman in ‘Harriet.’

True Grit NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

American heroine gets her due in ‘Harriet’ BY LISA JENSEN

he didn’t wear spandex tights or bullet-repelling bracelets. But Harriet Tubman was a real-life superhero, fighting for justice and winning major victories against impossible odds in her lifelong battle to end slavery in the American South. An escaped slave herself, she made many perilous trips back below the Mason-Dixon Line to lead other enslaved people to freedom in the North, via the Underground Railroad, armed with little more than raw courage, relentless determination and the occasional flintlock pistol. It’s incredible that such an inspirational story has never been made into a movie—until now. In

Harriet, filmmaker Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou; Talk To Me) examines the woman behind the legend, exploring the outrage, grit and compassion that shaped her, a tribute that feels long overdue. Maybe now that we’re all so woke, the times have finally caught up to the amazing life of Harriet Tubman. The story, co-written by Lemmons and Gregory Allen Howard, begins in 1849 with the young slave woman, Minty (Cynthia Erivo), who lives with her parents and grown siblings on the Ross family farm in Maryland. After their master tears up their legal petition to free the family in honor of his late mother’s will, Minty prays for his death, overheard by the master’s odious son, Gideon (Joe Alwyn).

When he plans to sell her off, she runs away; pursued by men and dogs and nearly drowned, she makes it all the way to Philadelphia. There, she’s taken in by William Still (Leslie Odom Jr.), a dapper abolitionist, and Marie (Janelle Monáe), who runs a refuge for single women and finds her paid employment working in a hotel. Marie teaches Minty to shoot a pistol. William encourages her to give up her slave name; she chooses her mother’s given name with the surname of the husband she had to leave behind—Harriet Tubman. Her new friends are horrified when Harriet risks recapture to return south and bring back her family. But once she’s made the

journey a couple more times, bringing out strangers as well as family, William introduces her to the Underground Railroad, a covert network of operators and vehicles by which runaway slaves are spirited north to freedom, of which the fearless Harriet becomes one of the most intrepid “conductors.” Erivo plays Harriet with bristly moral conviction; it’s unthinkable to her to sit by, protecting her own freedom, when others are still enslaved. The real-life Tubman was prone to seizures, which she claimed were visions from God guiding her on her journeys, which Lemmons recreates in sepia glimpses. These, along with the fact that she never loses one of her “passengers”— despite fierce pursuit—adds to her mythos among slaves, abolitionists and slaveowners. Evocative music also plays a key role. Spirituals underline fervent faith in a better life ahead, but when sung by slaves in the field, they also communicate a kind of code under the overseer’s notice. Many are delivered with wistful, calibrated emotion by Erivo, a Tony-winning musical theater actress. Erivo also sings the powerful anthem “Stand Up” over the closing credits, a song she wrote with Joshuah Campbell that sends the viewer off on a stirring note. And a brief glimpse of foot-stompin’ revival music in the slaves’ little church on the farm is delivered by a boisterous Vondie Curtis-Hall as the preacher. If my grandfather the Methodist minister had held services like that, maybe I would have become a churchgoer. Lemmons’ melodramatic flourishes can be overdone. Gideon is written as dastardly, insinuating evil incarnate without any shading, and the orchestral soundtrack tends to swell and crest overmuch to express emotion. But Harriet’s story is so important, it rises in triumph over all obstacles—like the woman herself. HARRIET *** (out of four) With Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr., Janelle Monáe, and Joe Alwyn. Written by Gregory Allen Howard and Kasi Lemmons. Directed by Kasi Lemmons. A Focus Features release. Rated PG-13. 125 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES CHARLIE’S ANGELS When it was announced that Kristin Stewart would play one of the karate-chopping, crime-solving Angels in this new action-comedy reboot, fans started calling it Charlie’s Gayngels, in the hopes that the bisexual actress would be playing an LGBT+ characters. Which is just … super weird. (She doesn’t, by the way.) Why would the character’s identity be based on the actor’s sexuality? Did Zachary Quinto play a gay Spock in Star Trek? Did Ellen Page play a lesbian Kitty Pryde in X-Men? Did Jake Gyllenhaal play a straight gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain? C’mon, people. However, kudos to the fans for saving gay-porn producers the 13.7 seconds it would have taken them to come up with the title for their inevitable parody. Directed by Elizabeth Banks. Starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska. (PG-13) 118 minutes. (SP)

NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

FORD V FERRARI Christian Bale plays rogue British race-car driver Ken Miles, and Matt Damon plays American auto designer Carroll Shelby in this true story of how massive underdog Ford beat Ferrari in the 1966 Le Mans race, which Ferrari had previously dominated for years. I love that in Europe, the title had to be changed to Le Mans ’66, because only Americans care about Americans winning stuff. (PG-13) 152 minutes. (SP)

FRANKIE Three generations of a family are faced with a life-altering experience while on vacation in one of those kinds of movies where three generations of a family are faced with a life-altering experience while on vacation. Directed by Ira Sachs. Starring Isabelle Huppert, Brendan Gleeson and Marisa Tomei. (PG-13) 98 minutes. (SP) THE GOOD LIAR Ian McKellen plays a serial con man who attempts to use his charm to scam wealthy widow Helen Mirren out of her money. I have a feeling Ian McKellen could charm me out of pretty much anything. If I got one of those Nigerian Prince emails from Ian McKellan, I’d be like,“Of course I’ll advance you the money to get your family’s fortune out of that big, mean,

asset-freezing bank! Just pay me back whenever you get around to it.” Directed by Bill Condon. Starring Ian McKellen, Helen Mirren and Russell Tovey. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) THE IRISHMAN Director Martin Scorsese returns to crime epics in the vein of his Goodfellas and Casino with this story of a truck driver who becomes a hitman for the mob and ends up working for Jimmy Hoffa; Joe Pesci came out of retirement to complete Scorsese’s classic trio of leading actors, along with Robert DeNiro, who plays the title role, and Al Pacino as Hoffa. Gee, I wonder if it’s any good? (R) 209 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7pm 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 DOCTOR SLEEP Who could forget Stanley Kubrick’s film The Shining, with its classic lines like,“That’s odd, the blood usually gets off at the second floor!” Oh wait, maybe that was the Simpsons’ parody of The Shining. Does it even matter at this point? After that Room 237 documentary, there’s nothing we don’t know about Kubrick’s movie—even a lot of things that aren’t true (I’m looking at you, rocket-shirtmeans-the-moon-landing-was-faked conspiracy!) My point is, maybe we do need a fresh take on this whole Shining business. Stephen King wrote the book this is based on as a sequel to his original 1977 novel; he famously hated Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining, so if you hear that he likes this one, be worried. Directed by Mike Flanagan. Starring Rebecca Ferguson and Ewan McGregor. (R) 151 minutes. (SP) HARRIET Reviewed this issue. JOJO RABBIT Jojo Rabbit is the diary of a Nazi wimpy kid, trying to fit in with the usual social absurdities— it’s just that the absurdities were heightened in the Reich. In a small village in 1944, young Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) is trying to be a good little Hitler Youth member. But he’s a

thorough reject, drawing a portion of the scorn doled out by the Jugend’s scoutmaster, an invalided-out Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell, great.) This uproariously satirical version of a quite serious novel might be modeled on Carol Reed’s The Fallen Idol (1948) in the looming staircases, and the expressionism of the boy’s world collapsing around him. Like Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it’s certainly something you could take a smart older child to see. Directed by Taika Waititi. Starring Roman Griffin Davis and Scarlett Johansson. PG-13. 108 minutes. (RvB) LAST CHRISTMAS They turned the Wham! songs into one of those holiday rom-coms, but I’m not sure if they knew which George Michael song they were adapting, because this movie’s tagline is “Sometimes you’ve just got to have faith.” I’d rather salute the lyrics of the actual song; if I remember right, they were “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart/ But the very next day, you gave it away/This year, to save me from tears/I won’t see this stupid movie.” Something like that. Directed by Paul Feig. Starring Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding and Emma Thompson. (PG13) 102 minutes. (PS) THE LIGHTHOUSE Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in this black-and-white psychological horror film from the director of The Witch about two lighthouse keepers who start to lose their sanity as their nightmares come to life. I find the scariest movies are the ones you can personally relate to, so I am sure to find this terrifying, as I suffer from recurring nightmares of being trapped in a lighthouse with the guy from Twilight. Directed by Robert Eggers. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) MIDWAY Roland Emmerich’s new war film is a remake of the 1976 ensemble epic about the attack on Pearl Harbor (and subsequent Battle of Midway) that featured Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, James Coburn, Toshiro Mifune, Robert Mitchum, and Cliff Robertson. This one stars Woody Harrelson, Aaron Eckhart, Patrick Wilson, Nick Jonas, Mandy Moore … wait, is this the Wayans Brothers version or something? Like, the Scary

Movie version? No? OK, just checking. (PG-13) 138 minutes. (SP) MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN Edward Norton has been wanting to make Motherless Brooklyn into a movie since Jonathan Lethem’s acclaimed crime novel came out in 1999. But he never did. Just kidding! He actually directs and stars in this adaptation of the book, which is about a private investigator with Tourette’s Syndrome in the 1950s. Co-starring Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe. (R) 144 minutes. (SP) PAIN AND GLORY Pedro Almodovar’s latest is clearly a very personal story, featuring his longtime favorite leading man Antonio Banderas as a director in the autumn of his career. It also features his favorite leading lady, Penelope Cruz, as the director’s … what, mother? Oh, it’s a flashback thing, okay. There are in fact many flashbacks, as the director “Salvador Mallo” looks back on his life. The result is winning praise as one of Almodovar’s best. (R) 113 minutes. (SP) PARASITE The director of The Host and Snowpiercer returns with a dark comedy/thriller about a poor family that slowly infiltrates the life of a rich family. At Cannes this year, it became the first Korean film to win the Palme d’Or. Directed by Bong Joon-ho. Starring Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun and Cho Yeo-jyong. (R) 132 minutes. (SP) PLAYING WITH FIRE I clicked a link to watch the trailer for Playing With Fire, and—I’m totally serious about this—former WWE wrestling champion John Cena appeared on screen dressed like a firefighter and said,“Ready to turn up the heat on some serious comedy? Watch the trailer for Playing With Fire!”What do you think I’m trying to do, John Cena? I already clicked on the damn link! Don’t tell me what to do when I’m already trying to do it, John Cena! Get your big, manly John Cena head out of the way so I can find out about this cutesy family comedy that you’re so damn excited to be starring in that you won’t even let me watch the trailer! Directed by Andy Fickman. Starring John Cena, Judy Greer and Keegan-Michael Key, (PG) 96 minutes. (SP)

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE OK, so there was this woman, see, and this robot from the future went back in time to kill her, because she was going to give birth to the man who would lead the humans to eventual victory over the robots in a war that took place in the future that this robot had come from. But then a guy from the future who was a close friend of the man who the woman gave birth to went back in time to protect the woman from the robot who went back in time, and ended up being the father of the man who the woman gave birth to. They destroyed the robot from the future, killing the guy from the future in the process. Then the robots in the future sent a robot back to kill the woman, only this time they sent a better robot, while the humans sent back a robot to protect the woman that was like the robot that was sent back to kill her before. The woman, who by that time had a son, decided that she and the robot from the future that had been sent back to protect her could blow up the artificial intelligence that made the robots that went to war with the humans and sent a robot back to kill the woman who had the son who would lead the humans to eventual victory over the robots, yada yada yada, Terminator: Dark Fate. Directed by Tim Miller. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Mackenzie Davis. (R) 128 minutes. (SP) ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP This movie has the soul of a shooter game. It reunites us with the four apocalypse survivors from the original film; now they’re not getting along, even with their fine new HQ at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) is happy to be the king of America, while Wichita (Emma Stone) can’t handle the nerdiness and neediness of Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg). Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) is the bitter former-childactor type incarnate. Nihilism and the movie’s referential mania wear you out. There wasn’t enough energy in the first Zombieland to channel into a sequel, and there was little left undone. Moreover, it hasn’t been 10 marvelous years of travelling that got us to this weedy midwestern wasteland, with its ambulatory corpses spilling pixilated glore. (RvB)

MYTH MAKERS Tanuki Cider is named for the mythologized “raccoon dog” of Japan. PHOTO: LAUREN HEPLER

NOVEMBER 13-19, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Spirit Animal

Tanuki Cider brings the ethos of fine wine—and a sense of humor—to local apples BY LAUREN HEPLER

hen Robby Honda lived in Japan, he really started to grasp the cultural phenomenon that is the tanuki. The real-life animals, which look like a cross between a fox and a raccoon, are idolized in Japanese mythology as shapeshifters that keep the human ego in check with their mischief—a dynamic immortalized in tanuki cartoons, statues and even towns dedicated to the “raccoon dog.” “We’re Japanese-American, and these little figures were always around,” says Honda, the owner of

Santa Cruz’s Tanuki Cider, who grew up in Orange County and lived in Japan before he moved to the Central Coast a decade ago. “Through the mythology, they’ve evolved into these prankster archetypes.” The inside joke (see if you can spot the tanuki’s famous anatomical quirk, which Honda doesn’t like to spoil for the uninitiated) seemed perfect when he and his brother started dreaming up a craft cider company. In the five years since, Tanuki Cider has become a local cult sensation stocked at restaurants including Gabriella Cafe, Home and Oswald, plus retailers like

New Leaf and Whole Foods. But it almost all came crashing down when Honda’s brother Brad, the artist who designed the Tanuki Cider label, died suddenly at age 33 in 2016. “I quit. It was pretty heavy,” Honda says. “That’s a bigger part of the project. It’s more than a business. It’s more than cider and all this stuff. It’s a connection to my brother.” That’s especially true, he says, since apples have always been part of the family. Honda spent much of his childhood at a family orchard in Sebastopol. Still, he didn’t set out to get into

hard cider, not least because of its reputation as a sweeter, weaker alternative for drinkers who can’t handle beer or wine. The idea of doing something more refined with the region’s wealth of apples emerged when Honda was working at Fogline Farm in the Santa Cruz Mountains. “I was interested in agriculture, apples specifically, and just kind of got lucky with the cider thing taking off,” Honda says. “When I moved to town, there were zero cider commercial businesses. Now there’s like seven.” Tanuki’s niche is dry, acidic, farmhouse-style ciders inspired by those Honda tasted in his wife’s native England. With an expanding lineup of “terroir-driven” ciders featuring Gravenstein, Newtown Pippin, Bellflower, Mutsu and other apples, Honda now has his sights set on a Santa Cruz County tasting room and retail outpost. He’s gotten creative in the meantime, partnering with Santa Cruz Cider Company to buy equipment to press apple juice, and leaning on wineries like Equinox and Sones Cellars for access to fermentation tanks and a production license. “I’m like a gypsy,” Honda says, though he’s not alone. Other local food and drink purveyors have followed a similarly nomadic path, like Effigy Brewing or 11th Hour coffee, which both contracted with other producers in their industries while starting up in increasingly cost-prohibitive Santa Cruz County. Tanuki Cider has experimented with different can and bottle formats, which usually sell for $7-10, and in recent seasons has released variations like a Blue Pippin combination of blueberries and Newtown Pippin apples, plus wild-fermented ciders produced without yeast. “It’s the same thing as grapes. We’re looking for sugar, acid and tannin,” Honda says. “Those things are going to give a wine or a cider the body, the texture, something interesting.” While the philosophy is ambitious, all it takes is the tanuki on the bottle to keep things in perspective. “You can go as deep or as shallow as you want,” Honda says. “At the end of the day, it’s a bottle with some booze in it. Nothing more, nothing less.” Instagram: @tanukicider.

A powerful Pinot Noir BY JOSIE COWDEN

uccigrosso Vineyards has been going strong since 2000. Family-owned and operated by Michael Muccigrosso and Travis Muccigrosso-White, they produce small quantities of handmade wine. The 2014 Pinot Noir ($35) is made with all Santa Cruz Mountains fruit and barrel-aged for two years. “It’s got some of the fruit-forward aspects that the 2010 (Pinot Noir) has,” says Michael Muccigrosso of one of his most popular Pinots, and also one of his best sellers. “It’s smooth and silky—we certainly don’t make any wimpy wines.” Redolent with aromas of leather and spice, it’s bursting with red fruit aromas and characteristic earthiness. Muccigrosso Vineyards is not open to the public, but this esteemed winery will be at Byington Vineyard & Winery from noon-5pm for the Passport event on Nov. 16. If you have a Passport —available from the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association at scmwa.com or various tasting rooms—then you can try different wines at participating wineries without paying a fee. Muccigrosso wines have done well this year in various competitions, including bringing home gold and silver for different vintages of Zinfandels in the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

VinoCruz in Soquel often carries Muccigrosso wines, and it’s always fun to get a bite of food there and try a new wine. Johnny’s Harborside Café in Santa Cruz also carries Muccigrosso wine, and it’s coming to the Crow’s Nest soon, too.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES SCORPIO—TEST, TRIAL, STRUGGLE, AND TRIUMPH This is our last week of Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. Mercury retrograde turns direct next Wednesday. However, Mercury’s retrograde shadow remains with us until Sunday, Dec. 8. We are to slowly move forward with plans, proceeding with caution. This is also our last week of Scorpio. Sun enters Sagittarius Friday, Nov. 22. A new moon occurs on the 26th, the day before Neptune turns direct and two days before Thanksgiving (harmonious transits this year for families gathering together). Good and practical and harmonious all day and evening (Thanksgiving). Scorpio deeply influences and transforms all lives on Earth. Scorpio’s keynotes (influences)—

test, trial, struggle, strength, and triumph– describe the Scorpio’s impact on humanity. The great fear during the depths of Scorpio is death. The great hope is that we remain intact and alive. Scorpio transforms all that it touches. The disciple, toiling within Scorpio’s nine tests, must rise phoenix-like out of the ashes of the past. While we are laboring within the Scorpio depths, it’s easy to lose sight of Scorpio’s eventual triumph. Scorpio asks us to cultivate patience, poise, strength, aspiration, and vision even while in the very midst of the battle. The teachers tell us when in difficulty to act as if we were already released into the harmonious, flowing stream of life itself.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

A sense of regeneration is transforming your intimate relationships, also all shared finances and resources. You could experience intense feelings of love or passion, anger or resentment, loss or bereavement. It’s best to be aware of these so that you can choose how best to respond (not react). Investigate the merging of your resources with another. Be sure to build a groundwork of trust first. And maintain it carefully.

Something new in your life is allowing you to feel ardent, enthusiastic, filled with love. Perhaps it’s the season. Something else in your life is bringing you out of the shadows. A new level of assessment about life shifts your values. One thing is still missing though. It’s forgiveness with another that keeps you seeking and never finding. What needs forgiving? Your self-worth soars when this forgiveness is offered. So much of your life’s vitality depends on it.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Nov. 13, 2019

TAURUS Apr21–May21 The original foundations (purpose) of your relationship come forth, like a surprising fragrant winter bloom. Patterns that have become embedded in the relationship are slowly disintegrating, calling forth new levels of relating, listening, communication, and then love. This includes intimates, family, friends, and partnerships. A new level of vulnerability and sensitivity has emerged for you. This is good. We learn compassion that way.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 What changes are occurring in your daily life, work interactions and health? What new areas are you interested in? What events and disciplines align with your needs? What habits do you wish to eliminate? What new habits do you want to cultivate? Is something draining your vital energy? Whatever it is must be eliminated. Oh, dear. That can be difficult. However, new vitality is seeking to come forth.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 It’s most important to consider the things that nourish you. Family patterns nourish until they’re no longer useful for growth. Then we must create new life patterns that sustain and vitalize. It’s important to cultivate financial stability and careful assessment of resources. Create a physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual foundation that is strong and solid for the times to come. You will be depended upon by many when times are difficult. You are a leader.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Light from the stars is streaming into your mental (thinking, learning) realm. You can feel more anxious than usual. Anxieties, fears or worries can be eliminated through the reciting of mantras and by the use of words that praise all beings and experiences in your life. Praise fills our cells with light, helps us connect heart to heart with others, and allows hidden realities to come forth. Something about home is wanting to expand. What is it?

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Your new year began/begins with your birthday. Our self-identity shifts each year to newer and greater expansiveness on our birthday. Each year, things that hurt, disappoint, confuse, and distract us are released. Each year, a change appears that brings forth new trust, compassion and the deeper mysteries of life. We look to you for valuable and illuminating information from your discoveries into the darkest corners of life. Only you can enter there. You are the phoenix for everyone.

HAPPY NG I V I G S K THAN

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 It’s good if you’re considering a time of retreat and contemplation. You will not have much time for this opportunity, as the Sun will soon illuminate your sign (enter Sagittarius) and your life, talents and gifts will be in the spotlight. No more doors to hide behind. It’s important to be aware of dreams, both waking and sleeping dreams and visions. They provide ease from the past and a picture of the future.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 It’s good to list—in a journal, quilt or mural—your hopes, wishes and dreams for the future. Talking about them, pondering and brooding over them, clarifies for you their value and brings them into the first level of manifestation, and they anchor on Earth. Who shares these dreams with you? Who understands you? Who listens to you? Know you have the ability to transform everyone with your knowledge, ideas, art, and words. Words are magic.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Align your actions, friends, work, thoughts, feelings, desires, aspirations with your deepest hopes and wishes. Then everything comes forth successfully. We find you very responsible with those who depend upon you. We also see you share all that you have. What you provide to others, returns to you tenfold. You’re on a mission with humanity. Whether its cooking, travel, fun, writing, making music, publishing, or caring for the animal kingdom, what you do makes a great difference in everyone’s life.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You continue to wonder about your world, your future, your work, and the tasks you are to perform. Sometimes your faith is tested so that you assess and get to the root of your beliefs. You find yourself in different realities, different worlds, often your destination unknown. This applies to outer and inner realities. Only your intuition is intact. It guides, directs and leads you far afield, then brings you home again. Rely on it.

You’ve been so serious for so long. A little lightness and ease are needed in your life. It’s good to assess what joy means, when you last experienced joy and how you could bring it forth now. Sometimes joy leaves us when a life change occurs. We feel we can no longer feel joy, only endless sorrow. However, joy is a quality of the Soul. Write, paint, garden, dance, sing. These bring joy.

Come trip on the CURB you’ll always hit grass

Provoking thought since 1990

Continuing the conversation…about the shift in the market that people have been feeling for quite a while now. And the sales numbers for September that finally arrived to confirm what they were already picking up on. Here’s a quick recap of the September data: Median Price was down significantly. Houses took longer to sell. Homes sold, on average, for 7-8% below original list price. And active inventory levels approached what experts like to refer to as a balanced market (4 months’ supply). And one more thing...the actual number of homes sold was higher than the prior year’s total (September 2018), which means, as prices were coming down, the number of sales was increasing. That’s an important detail to keep in mind as we lean further into the notion of a “shift” in the market. Since it’s been so long since we’ve had anything other than a one-sided Seller’s Market, not to mention hard evidence pointing to lower prices, increased supply and a more balanced market, let’s step back a bit and go over a few ground rules for further discussion. A Month Doth Not a Market Make: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. One month’s data doesn’t necessarily mean wholesale change. It’s just an indication that the direction of the market is changing. Let’s wait and see how the numbers play out over the next three months before making any definitive judgments. Trailing Information: Why did it take so long to confirm what people were feeling? Salesrelated data typically lags well behind what’s actually happening in the here and now of the marketplace, since closings usually occur 30-60 days after buyers and sellers first agree on a price and open escrow. Real estate always has to look in the rear view mirror to try to see where it’s at. Dip Doesn’t Mean Drop: Signs of a shift trigger fears about a plummeting market and a great recession redux. People should relax their Chicken Little gag reflexes and let the shift play out before they assume the sky is falling. Over the last decade, the subprime mortgage meltdown and the ensuing longest run-up in history have programmed us to think that the market has to be an all or nothing thing. That’s simply not the case. No Such thing as Good or Bad: When the market shifts, is that good or bad? Good for whom? Bad for whom? It takes both buyers and sellers for transactions to take place. What’s usually good for one isn’t good for the other, and vice versa. There are really no good or bad markets, just a changing balance between the principals. Bottom Line: There are opportunities in every market. We’ll talk about that next week.

Occupation: Chemistry/environmental science teacher, Cabrillo College Hobbies: Tennis, cooking, reading, taking classes at Cabrillo, family life

SHIRLEY FINK, 50-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Retired technical writer/editor Hobbies: Lot’s of bridge, taking Lifelong Learners classes, family life What first got you shopping here? SHIRLEY:“It was 1969 and I was new to town. I had asked somebody where to shop and they said,‘Go to Shopper’s Corner!’ So I found it, no GPS in those days, and went it and felt so at home because it reminded me of the local stores in the small town where I had grown up.” CHRISTA:“For me, shopping here was the family way; all of our good food came from Shopper’s. These days, I don’t eat meat but I do cook it for my family. I love all the butchers advising me on what cuts to use and how to cook it. I never entertain without first coming here. I’m the cook of the family.”

The holidays too? CHRISTA: ”Yes. Mum and I always do our holiday shopping at Shopper’s.” SHIRLEY:“I usually order the fabulous Diestel turkey. I’m the family sommelier and in charge of buying the wine. I enjoy talking details and getting recommendations from the knowledgeable crew.” CHRISTA:“I get to focus on the wonderful fresh organic produce.This year's menu includes butternut squash/gruyere galette, roasted root vegetables and caramelized pear salad with blue cheese. I appreciate the helpful staff advising me about the best cheeses, given the large selection.”

You really do like to cook! CHRISTA:“Absolutely!” SHIRLEY:“I’m making my mother’s lovely recipe for home-made cranberry sauce.” CHRISTA:“I'm also making mashed and sweet potatoes and stuffing. It’s great having a ‘captive’ audience to try new recipes such as pumpkin cheesecake.” SHIRLEY:“One of the best things about holiday shopping at Shopper's is the friendly environment. Even when the store’s packed, the lines go fast, and the attitudes of customers and staff are still upbeat.” CHRISTA:“We enjoy the strong sense of community and bumping into friends at Shopper’s. It’s very festive!”
