OPINION
EDITOR’S NOTE The first time I interviewed Dan Bern was 20-some years ago, right before he played Santa Cruz for the first time. John Sandidge of Snazzy Productions had discovered Bern’s music, and was head over heels about this exciting new talent—so much so that he was bringing him to the Kuumbwa for his Santa Cruz debut. Sandidge gave me a copy of Fifty Eggs, Bern’s then-new second album. Like everyone else who heard that record, I’m sure, I got hooked on “Tiger Woods” first, and then “Cure for AIDS,” and then pretty much everything else. After that, I got my hands on his first record, with its songs about Marilyn Monroe’s shoulda-been love affair with Henry Miller, how hard it is to

Re: “Into the Mysteries” (GT, 10/30): You touch on my family’s fave spot to visit with our youngsters, circa three to ten years of age. I was a county building inspector then, and was mystified by the unusability of these structures for human habitation, because of its miniscule dimensions. It would have been suitable for use by pygmies or dwarves, perhaps. Today we could say it is waiting for star ETs that are somehow expected to land there someday … how is that for Halloween Night thoughts. I shall attend to see what manner of people could predict good things for these attractive artifacts. My daughters Zeka, now 35, and Caroline, now 32, loved being there. Whenever I drive by this notorious attraction, I’m always surprised by the flood of pleasant memories, some visual, of my young daughters climbing their way around the place. I remember Caroline’s way of naming it: that place, when she wanted to go there, seemingly knowing when we were nearby and could easily make a short visit. The effect I experienced was/is similar to the feelings I got while at the steel and cement Watts Towers in L.A., by an Italian immigrant. Here’s the doggerel, which I’ll recite for
live in L.A., and how much he likes olives (warning: those are not great summaries of the songs). In that first interview, I asked him if he was a pop-culture junkie, what with his many surreal takes on reallife people. No, he told me. In fact, he was the exact opposite, and the fact that he knew about these particular people despite not following pop culture is part of what made them seem so song-worthy to him. As I’ve followed his career since then, I’ve often thought about that answer. To this day, Bern’s songs will often surprise you with something that tweaks or even completely flips your assumptions. I think he’s one of the best songwriters of our time, and talking with him for this week’s cover story about his new album, upcoming show and move to Santa Cruz was a real highlight of what’s already been a great year for interviews.

It is frequently the site of homeless encampments and groups of youth. For years, these trees have been dropping an enormous amount of oily leaves and branches that are now feet deep.

Located in the Seacliff area, the park currently has a temporary bathroom, a play area, walking paths, public art, and seating overlooking the Monterey Bay. Future phases of the park may include a skate feature, shade structures and a small amphitheater.
Mayor Martine Watkins and the city of Santa Cruz recognized four winners—Haisley Flannagan, Audrey Pierson, Kaila Walker, and Estrella Contreras—in the 2019 Keep Santa Cruz Clean and Litter-Free poster contest.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of November 6 ARIES Mar21–Apr19
LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22
Aries psychologist James Hillman said we keep “our images and fantasies at arm's length because they are so full of love.” They’re also quite flammable, he added. They are always on the verge of catching fire, metaphorically speaking. That’s why many people wrap their love-filled images and fantasies in metaphorical asbestos: to prevent them from igniting a blaze in their psyches. In my astrological opinion, you Aries folks always have a mandate to use less asbestos than all the other signs—even none at all. That’s even truer than usual right now. Keep your images and fantasies extra close and raw and wild.
Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle was asked, “What is your signature perfume?” She said she hadn’t found one. But then she described how she would like to smell: “somewhere between fresh and Earthy: cinnamon and honey, a rose garden, saltwater baked in the sun.” The coming days will be an excellent time to indulge in your own fantasies about the special fragrance you’d like to emanate. Moreover, I bet you’ll be energized by pinpointing a host of qualities you would like to serve as cornerstones of your identity: traits that embody and express your uniqueness.
TAURUS Apr20–May20 Poet James Merrill was ecstatic when he learned the Greek language. According to his biographer, he felt he could articulate his needs “with more force and clarity, with greater simplicity and less self-consciousness, than he ever could in his own language.” He concluded, “Freedom to be oneself is all very well; the greater freedom is not to be oneself.” Personally, I think that’s an exaggeration. I believe the freedom to be yourself is very, very important. But for you in the coming weeks, Taurus, the freedom to not be yourself could indeed be quite liberating. What might you do to stretch your capacities beyond what you’ve assumed is true about you? Are you willing to rebel against and transcend your previous self-conceptions?
GEMINI May21–June20 Musician Brian Eno made a deck of oracular cards called Oblique Strategies. Each card has a suggestion designed to trigger creative thinking about a project or process you’re working on. You Geminis might find it useful to call on Oblique Strategies right now, since you’re navigating your way through a phase of adjustment and rearrangement. The card I drew for you is “Honor thy error as hidden intention.” Here’s how I interpret it: An apparent lapse or misstep will actually be the result of your deeper mind guiding you to take a fruitful detour.
CANCER Jun21–Jul22 We devote a lot of energy to wishing and hoping about the meaningful joys we’d love to bring into our lives. And yet few of us have been trained in the best strategies for manifesting our wishes and hopes. That’s the bad news. The good news is that now is a favorable time for you to upgrade your skills at getting what you want. With that in mind, I present you with the simple but potent wisdom of author Maya Angelou: “Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.” To flesh that out, I’ll add: Formulate a precise statement describing your heart’s yearning, and then work hard to make yourself ready for its fulfillment.

What are the key parts of your life, the sources and influences that enable you to be your most soulful self? I urge you to nourish them intensely during the next three weeks. Next question: What are the marginally important parts of your life, the activities and proclivities that aren’t essential for your long-term success and happiness? I urge you to corral all the energy you give to those marginally important things, and instead pour it into what’s most important. Now is a crucial time in the evolution of your relationship with your primal fuels, your indispensable resources, your sustaining foundations.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 “When she spoke of beauty, he spoke of the fatty tissue supporting the epidermis,” wrote short-story author Robert Musil. He was describing a conversation between a man and woman who were on different wavelengths. “When she mentioned love,” Musil continued, “he responded with the statistical curve that indicates the rise and fall in the annual birth rate.” Many of you Virgos have the flexibility to express yourself well on both of those wavelengths. But in the coming months, I hope you’ll emphasize the beauty and love wavelength, rather than the fatty tissue and statistical curve wavelength. It’ll be an excellent strategy for getting the healing you need.
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Studies suggest that on average each of us has a social network of about 250 people, of whom 120 we regard as a closer group of friendly acquaintances. But most of us have no more than 20 folks we trust, and only two or three whom we regard as confidants. I suspect that these numbers will be in flux for you during the next 12 months, Scorpio. I bet you’ll make more new friends than usual, and will also expand your inner circle. On the other hand, I expect that some people who are now in your sphere will depart. Net result: stronger alliances and more collaboration.
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 I blame and thank the Sagittarian part of me when I get brave and brazen enough to follow my strongest emotions where they want to lead me. I also blame and thank the Sagittarian part of me when I strip off my defense mechanisms and invite the world to regard my vulnerabilities as interesting and beautiful. I furthermore blame and thank the Sagittarian side of me on those occasions when I run 3 miles down the beach at dawn, hoping to thereby jolt loose the secrets I’ve been concealing from myself. I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to blame and thank the Sagittarian part of you for similar experiences.
CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Persian polymath Avicenna (980–1037) wrote 450 books on many topics, including medicine, philosophy, astronomy, geography, mathematics, theology, and poetry. While young, he tried to study the Metaphysics of Aristotle but had difficulty grasping it. Forty times he read the text, even committing it to memory. But he made little progress toward fathoming it. Years later, he was browsing at an outdoor market and found a brief, cheap book about the Metaphysics by an author named al-Farabi. He read it quickly, and for the first time understood Aristotle’s great work. He was so delighted he went out to the streets and gave away gifts to poor people. I foresee a comparable milestone for you, Capricorn: something that has eluded your comprehension will become clear, at least in part due to a lucky accident.
AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In addition to being a key figure in Renaissance art, 15th-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi had a colorful life. According to legend, he was once held prisoner by Barbary pirates but gained his freedom by drawing a riveting portrait of their leader. Inspired by the astrological factors affecting you right now, I’m fantasizing about the possibility of a liberating event arriving in your life. Maybe you’ll call on one of your skills in a dramatic way, thereby enhancing your leeway or generating a breakthrough or unleashing an opportunity. (Please also reread your horoscope from last week.)
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “Stand high long enough and your lightning will come,” writes Piscean novelist William Gibson. He isn’t suggesting that we literally stand on top of a treeless hill in a thunderstorm and invite the lightning to shoot down through us. More realistically, I think he means that we should devotedly cultivate and discipline our highest forms of expression, so that when inspiration finds us, we’ll be primed to receive and use its full power. That’s an excellent oracle for you.

canyon in minutes. At the top of the canyon is Santa Cruz Gardens and an elementary school with only one way in or out. At a minimum, the debris beneath the trees needs to be removed and ideally the trees should be replaced with native plants. But it won’t happen unless we insist upon it.

There are a whole lot of longtime Santa Cruz residents who consider Chris Krohn, Drew Glover and the other board members who cast their vote to shoot down the Corridors Plan—as well as Gary Patton of “Stop Over-Building Santa Cruz” meetings—our hometown heroes. These individuals actually took the time and effort to listen to their constituency and vote accordingly. A very desirable trait for elected officials, wouldn’t you agree?

NEWS NUDE AWAKENING The roots of UCSC’s legendary first-rain naked run tradition go back 30 years BY HUGH MCCORMICK

and Berry Underwood pooled their money to buy their home earlier this year.

Buy the Numbers
In Santa Cruz’s red-hot real estate market, communal home buying could be the next big trend BY SUSAN LANDRY
B
erry Underwood never thought he would own a home in Santa Cruz by age 33. “It kind of happened by accident,” Underwood, now 34, says of the house he’d rented with friends for about a decade. It was only after he and his housemates received a letter from their landlord saying that he planned to sell the house that a plan to stay put started to materialize.
Accompanying the letter was a right of first refusal—meaning that as the current tenants, the group had a chance to purchase their home before it went on the open market. Although not legally required, rights of refusal are sometimes written into lease agreements. “When we first found out, we talked about buying it as a joke, because we needed humor to relieve the stress,” recalls Underwood.
Then, after some deliberating–– and realizing the dearth of other affordable rental options––they started to more seriously consider the idea of buying the house together. “Some of us had, by this point, sort of looked into what would be involved in buying a house as individuals, but this was the first time that the power of collective buying really occurred to us,” >12
SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019
The story goes that one of UCSC’s most infamous traditions all began with a game of Simon Says. It was 30 years ago, in the fall of 1989, not long after the devastating Loma Prieta Earthquake. And at UCSC’s Porter Dining Hall, a student playing the role of “Simon” told everyone to take off their shirts, according to an interview that Wayne Hendrickson, a former university community service officer (CSO), gave to the podcast Snap Judgment in 2010. Then, Simon got daring, instructing participants to take their pants off—prompting the manager to kick all players out of the dining hall. The partially nude students wandered outside and walked around the campus, where police told them to watch out for poison oak, in Hendrickson’s telling. Finding that the strip tease provided for a nice stress relief, some students remarked that they wanted to do it all again someday. Overhearing their conversation, Hendrickson mentioned that some schools had naked runs following the first snowfall of every year. He even suggested that students could start their own tradition, and run during the year’s first Pacific storm. “We were kind of brainstorming,” he told producer Stephanie Foo. Hendrickson said he forgot about it, but the students didn’t. And the next year, the tradition was on. Websites like ucscfirstrain.com confirm many of the threads in Hedrickson’s story. And in the years since that fateful fall game, scores of mostly naked—some scantily clothed—UCSC students have come together in the Porter College quad to celebrate the first major rain event of the school year and go running. The annual event came to be known as First Rain, or simply the Naked Run. At some point over the last decade, student organizers drafted First Rain rules to prevent false starts and second guessing about the right weather conditions for the event. The official rules dictate that it can only occur on a school night, and it has to be raining nonstop from 6-10pm. The run begins at the Porter Quad at 10pm. >14

he says. The thought of purchasing individually in high-priced Santa Cruz was “incredibly unrealistic,” he adds. With multiple people as a part of the purchase, though, “All of a sudden what was impossible became possible,” Underwood says. As a group of four, they combined their savings to come up with enough for about a 10% downpayment on the three-bedroom home. While not everyone was able to make the same financial contribution toward the purchase, Underwood says they approached the venture as equal partners. To help offset some of the additional costs of buying their home, the group launched a GoFundMe.com campaign, where
they raised $3,860 dollars from friends and community members. Underwood says the additional funds helped to cover things like lawyer fees, since the down-payment “mostly maxed out the funds we had available.” The group’s lawyer helped them navigate writing a tenants-incommon agreement, to set the groundwork for what would happen should a member of the group die or want to sell the house at any point—a precaution “to mitigate future issues,” Underwood says.
HOME STEADY Santa Cruz Real Estate Attorney Leo B. Siegel says tenants-in-common agreements can offer a hugely important sense of security to communal home buyers. He calls
the contracts, “the only real defense against partition lawsuits.” Partition actions are what happens when one owner goes to court—to either force a co-owner to sell their share or to buy out others. Such lawsuits, Siegel says, are common. “I’ve got three in my office right now,” he says. Underwood describes the whole communal home-buying process as logistically complex and “incredibly nerve-racking.” Still, he thinks it’s likely that group purchasing will grow more popular in Santa Cruz as homes keep getting more expensive. “In our area, it’s the only way I can see families or single people who are not incredibly rich being able to own property,” he says. “The only alternative is that the property continues to get consolidated into the hands of the few.” >14
NUZ HANG IT UP As recently as September, highfalutin’ art lovers were wondering just how poor the financials were at the Museum of Art and History (MAH). It’s true that the MAH was not as transparent as it could have been. So there was really just one burning question on donors’ minds: Is the museum’s cash flow abysmal … or just really bad? Well, here’s a pleasant surprise: it turns out the numbers are actually pretty good! MAH Interim Executive Director Antonia Franco has released its new State of the MAH report for Fiscal Year 2017-18, as well as eight years of financial audits and IRS filings. The museum reported $2.7 million in income and $2.1 million in expenses in the most recent cycle. The nonprofit has $9.8 million in assets. Not too shabby. Over the summer, acrimony was on full display in the power vacuum left by the
MAH’s former director and visionary Nina Simon. Critics painted a troubling portrait of the museum, which they argue lost its way under Simon. Longtime supporters also accused museum leaders of taking donor names off the walls. Of course, under Simon’s guidance, the MAH did also earn international renown as a more diverse, inclusive and exciting space. Simon has since founded the nonprofit Of/By/For All, which aims to take her approach and spread it worldwide. And she’s now been awarded the prestigious Ashoka Fellows Social Innovators Award for her work, which was announced last month. Going forward, the next step should be for the MAH to re-hang the donor names that apparently came down. Other than that, all these developments are good news for people who legitimately love the museum and want to see it thrive.
MAYOR MAY NOT Last year, Santa Cruz City Councilmember Chris Krohn, with a new majority behind him, nominated recently elected Councilmember Justin Cummings to be vice mayor. It didn’t just jumpstart the political career of one of his political allies. It also allowed Krohn to pass over Councilmember Cynthia Mathews, who would have been next in line, per tradition—as she was the second-highest vote getter in the 2016 election. The problem is that it isn’t clear who the council should nominate to be the next vice mayor, when the opportunity comes up, once Cummings presumably gets appointed to be the new mayor in December. Krohn and allied Councilmember Drew Glover both have baggage, and could be facing a possible recall soon, so either would seem to be a surprising choice for the spot. It also wouldn’t make much
sense to nominate Mayor Martine Watkins, who frankly deserves a break. And Krohn and his supporters express dissatisfaction with her, anyway. Councilmember Donna Meyers was the secondhighest vote getter behind Cummings last year, so she would normally be next in line after him, but she’s in the same wing of the council as Mathews and Watkins. Since Krohn and Glover often paint politics as an ideological battle, showing reluctance to cede any ground, her chances are low. That would leave Councilmember Sandy Brown, who could make sense as a pick if she’s interested—and if she wants to run for re-election next year, potentially giving her a chance to be mayor in 2021. That, however, raises a number of other potential issues, starting with this one: Who the heck would wanna run for re-election right now?

NAKED TRUTH Apparently UCSC’s naked First Rain run tradition all started with a game of Simon Says.
NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
NUDE AWAKENING <11

It can end in one of two places. The first is at—or sometimes in—the swimming pool at the school’s east gym, or with a drum circle at Porter College, by the metal “Squiggle” art sculpture, near where it all began. Marine biology major and veteran first-rainer Timothy Ernst admits that he thought the Naked Run was “total bullshit” at first—something the seniors told the freshman to mess with them. But when he saw the long line of naked bodies start to streak through Cowell College, he stepped out of his dorm room, naked, to join the festivities. Ernst says he’d never before done anything like it. “I hadn’t gone to any parties and didn’t have many friends,” says Ernst. “It took a little bit to get comfortable and lose my inhibitions, but I fell in line and then started running. ... This was the first time I was ever naked with strangers.” Early in the run, he didn’t know if he would be able to relax. But he says that
running with more than 1,000 classmates eventually helped him feel comfortable in his own skin, and at peace in his new home in Santa Cruz. “I was like, ‘I can do this. Anyone can do this. Being naked doesn’t matter,’” Ernst says. The experience also motivated him to hit the gym. Ernst says that before organizers passed their official rules, overly excited students regularly jumped the gun, sprinting through campus naked at the sight of the first afternoon drizzle. That still happens sometimes. He calls it “the freshman fuckup.” “Frosh always get the rules wrong,” he says. “The rules are strict.” UCSC spokesperson Scott HernandezJason calls First Rain “an unsanctioned event” that happens each year, not unlike the school’s annual 4/20 celebration. “It’s one of those events we—CSOs, law enforcement and the university—prefer would not happen, but it will happen anyways,” he says. “We are here to ensure students stay safe throughout First Rain.” The focus of the administration isn’t
on nudity, but rather on public safety, Hernandez-Jason says. It’s the part about students running in the pouring rain at night that makes officials uneasy, he explains. “We just worry that students students running on the wet ground will get injured,” he says. “All in all though, the runs have generally been fine. It’s something meaningful to the students and alumni, and there’s a certain fondness that has grown for the runs.” Naked runs and streaking have been part of American college life for decades. Students at UC Berkeley take nude laps through the stacks of Doe and Moffitt libraries each semester during the week leading up to final exams. Ivy Leaguers at Harvard participate in an event known as “Primal Scream”—a proud crowd of naked Ivy Leaguers running through Harvard Yard on the often snowy night before the start of their finals. Today, most UCSC students are wellprepared for First Rain. When the skies open up, websites and message boards like the UCSC subreddit and the UCSC Facebook Group light up with messages, memes and various “It’s on tonight” proclamations. Veterans of the race have a few pointers. They say that runners should wear shoes and stress that it’s wrong for onlookers to take pictures. Psychology major Anastasia Baboulevitch remembers her freshman year First Rain fondly. It started with commotion and screaming in the Porter Quad. “And there was this big gaggle of people gathering, totally naked,” the Porter College student says, smiling. “When I saw them, I was like ‘Shit! These are my friends! I’m not going to be the only clothed person here!’” Before she came to UCSC, Baboulevitch swore to herself that she would spend her time as a Banana Slug experimenting and trying new things. First Rain seemed like the ultimate experiment. “I wasn’t especially secure with my body,” she says, “but I felt immediately comfortable being naked with the Porter people. Baring it all was an incredible high. The ultimate adrenaline rush. Music was blasting. People were painting each other’s bodies. There was supposedly an orgy in the showers. I was like, ‘You’re really in college now!’”
BUY THE NUMBERS <12 Paul Bailey, co-owner of the local real estate company Bailey Properties, says he’s noticed a recent uptick in collective purchasing between multiple family members in Santa Cruz. While he predicts communal purchases between friends could also trend upward, he says he hasn’t seen it happen yet. Nationwide, the National Association of Realtors reports that “multigenerational” buyers––defined as adult siblings, children, parents, or grandparents purchasing together––currently account for about 12% of total home purchases. Across the pond in the United Kingdom, banking giant M&S bank recently launched a “mortgage for four” option, based on research that most millenials would consider co-buying as an entry into homeownership. As for those purchasing in Santa Cruz right now, Bailey says most of them skew younger. “I think to a great degree it’s the 40 and unders, the Bay Area young guy who’s making a hell of a lot of money,” he says.
BUYER BE THERE The concept of cooperatively owned businesses has also been picking up momentum in Santa Cruz. This past spring, a local compost program re-launched as Hard-Core Compost under a cooperative model. And in a step toward bolstering worker-owned businesses, the Santa Cruz City Council voted unanimously on Oct. 8 to adopt a resolution declaring October “CoOp Month” in the city of Santa Cruz. The council directed the city to foster the “development and growth,” of employee-owned businesses. Co-op Santa Cruz, an organization that advocates for worker cooperatives, helped draft the resolution. Co-op Santa Cruz organizer Faisal Fazilat says says the vote shows that locals are ready for a new approach, one that shifts the economy in a more democratic direction. According to materials from Co-op Santa Cruz, there

Benefiting FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY OF THE CENTRAL COAST
are 2,410 baby boomer-owned businesses in Santa Cruz County. Their looming retirements in coming years create potential for what’s referred to by demographers as a “Silver Tsunami”—a possible economic jolt with business owners reaching retirement age. Many of the businesses, Fazilat notes, don’t have succession plans. “We’ve had businesses come to us that do want to transition their business into a cooperative, but they’re facing technical challenges and legal challenges on how they can do that,” he says. Co-op Santa Cruz will work with the city’s Economic Development Department to draft policy proposals for how to support a new city laws around worker-ownership. When it comes to cooperative home ownership, Jesse James, who lives in a co-owned house in Santa Cruz, says cooperative efforts aren’t without their quirks. Home purchasing challenges–– like navigating credit and loan approvals, for instance––are magnified when working as a group, he explains. “It’s incredibly painful and complicated, because we’d think we’d have everything in order, and [the lenders] would come back and say, ‘Actually, that part of that of your income doesn’t count,’ or, ‘You’re going to need this much more down to make the numbers work,’” says James. “Instead of just one person, that trickles down through multiple people.” Both Underwood and James lived in their respective houses for years before taking the purchasing plunge. They say that was crucial in making the process work. “I’ve had the opportunity to live with this group of people for long enough to really feel comfortable sharing space with them, but also long enough that I feel that their patterns are reliable to me,” says Underwood, adding that “over communicating” is critical. “You can never communicate too much,” he says.

Organization Profile:
Food Revolution Network For author and nutrition expert Ocean Robbins, healthy eating isn’t just about having more veggies––it’s about starting a worldwide revolution to heal our bodies and the world around us. “The same food choices that help fight cancer, alzhiemers, heart disease and diabetes,” Robbins says, “are the same food choices that contribute to a more sustainable planet.”
Food Revolution Network produces online-based summits, master classes, films and other resources to educate people about making healthier, more eco-friendly food choices. It’s online content has already reached millions of people worldwide. The Network’s signature event, Robbins says, is the annual Food
The Network also runs an online blog––with about 20,000 visitors per day––which publishes scientifically-backed, educational content about nutrition, food and sustainability, all available to the public free of charge. “We’re helping grow the way to a new food economy, where the central organizing principle of our food system isn’t profit, it’s health,” he explains. For those looking to take their health journey a step further, the Food Revolution Network created the Whole Life Club, which provides members with an uplifting space to connect
with peers, ask questions and get the support they need to make healthier choices. In addition to a positive community space, members enjoy six delicious recipes per week, access to exclusive interviews with health experts and motivational content to help them reach their nutritional goals. In addition to education and outreach, the Food Revolution Network is calling for big policy changes including shifting government food subsidies away from unhealthy foods and unsustainable farming practices. “Twinkies have 14 subsidized ingredients,” says Robbins, “Meanwhile we’re not subsidizing fruits and vegetables or nuts and seeds.” When it came to banking for his business, Robbins knew he wanted to be with a financial institution that would help him easily invest his money into projects and people that aligned with his values. For this reason, he says, banking with the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union
(SCCCU) was a natural choice. “To me the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union is a beautiful example of a financial institution that is values-based and functions in the real world,” says Robbins. “They take wires, they do online banking and all the conveniences of the modern world but at the same time they actually give a darn about the well-being of our community.” In addition to helping him easily invest in causes he cares about, Robbins says he appreciates the personalized experience he gets with SCCCU. “They’re community-based which means I never feel treated like a cog in the machine. They’re real people, they answer our questions and help us out whenever something comes up,” he says, “That’s what they’re good at.”

This understanding led Robbins to co-found the Food Revolution Network with his father in 2012. “Our mission is healthy, ethical and sustainable food for all,” he says.
Revolution Summit. “At each summit my dad interviews 24 of the world’s top food experts and we broadcast those interviews for free worldwide,” he explains, adding, “People who want to go further and own lifetime access to the interviews, transcripts and bonus resources can purchase what we call the Empowerment Package,” which is available for $97 during the summit, and $197 afterwards.

SMASH NOTES Singer-songwriter Dan Bern on moving to Santa Cruz, his new album and that local legend about how he destroyed a perfectly good guitar BY STE VE PALOP OLI
‘N
that night at Palookaville. “I had this song called ‘Jack Kramer Wood Racquet,’ and I was trying to get everybody to sing along, because there was this part for that. I don’t know, I’m guessing that maybe they weren’t as immediately responsive as I wanted them to be. So I sorta started channeling McEnroe. I had this guitar, and I was swinging it around like it was a racquet. I dropped it, and when I picked it up, I saw that it had re-broke, and it was unusable in its current state. In that state that I was in of this wild-man tennis player, without a second thought, I just took the ‘racquet’ and started smashing it. And I smashed the shit out of it.” Which, with all apologies to John Hiatt, sounds pretty rock ‘n’ roll. So why does he regret it? “Well, it doesn’t keep me up a lot of nights,” he says with trademark dry humor. “But it had these weird repercussions. The story even got picked up by wire services that this had happened. I went on ‘Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me’ in the wake of it— because this had been a news item, so they had me on—and I proceeded to miss all the questions.” What isn’t true about the way it was explained on the NPR show is that Bern was booed off stage, although he has an idea of how that part got added as the story started to snowball. “The opener that night was a great songwriter I have a lot of respect for named Jim Page, a Seattle guy. He didn’t know that backstory, he just saw me smashing this nice Martin onstage, and he was rather incensed, and sort of loudly walked out,” says Bern.

ow we’ve reached the part of our show where we invite notable people on to ask them questions about things they know nothing about. Speaking of ignorance, a couple of weeks ago we featured a story about singersongwriter Dan Bern. We reported that during a concert in Santa Cruz, California, he got a bit carried away and smashed a guitar in the great Pete Townsend tradition— and in response, the socially aware crowd shouted insults and booed him off the stage. Well, Mr. Bern has a lot of fans out there, and some of them wrote in to say that it never happened, or that it did happen, but not quite that way. In order to set the record straight once and for all, we have invited Mr. Dan Bern himself onto our show.” That was host Peter Sagal on the Jan. 6, 2001, edition of NPR’s current-events quiz show Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me, in the wake of one of the unlikeliest national news items to ever come out of Santa Cruz. As he related after being introduced on the show, Bern had indeed smashed a guitar onstage a couple of weeks earlier at the legendary downtown club Palookaville. “It’s not one of my prouder memories,” he tells me now, as we sit at a table in 11th Hour Coffee, just a few blocks from where this all went down two decades ago. Bern explains that someone had given him a beautiful Martin guitar once owned by Dan Fogelberg. At some point, it had been dropped, and had a scar where it had been repaired. “So I’m playing the guitar,” he says, recalling

‘STREET’ DATE For his latest album, Bern performed with perhaps the most skilled musicians of his career.
<19 In the years since, that night has become part of local music-scene lore, and it was the first big cultural moment to link Bern to Santa Cruz— despite the fact that he lived in L.A. at the time. Now, after years of playing here regularly, he’s actually moved to the Santa Cruz area. Though he’s been here for several months now, his show at Moe’s on Thursday, Nov. 14, will be a bit of a coming-out party for his new native status. “I definitely felt a connection,” he says of his local link. “Coming here and playing a lot, playing at KPIG. Over the years, sometimes it was Kuumbwa, sometimes it was Moe’s, sometimes it was Palookaville. Adam Bergeron, when he had the Crepe Place, I started playing there, and that was a big connection, too.” There is one connection he could probably do without, though. “Looking back now,” he says of the infamous guitar smashing, “it’s like,
‘Yeah, that was probably a pretty dumb thing to do.’”
MAJOR HEADACHES If Bern was a little on edge back then, it’s understandable. After getting scouted by major labels in the early ’90s, the Iowa-born musician broke out of the SoCal folk circles with his 1996 EP Dog Boy Van and 1997 self-titled debut album on the Sony subsidiary Work. His next album, 1998’s Fifty Eggs, which was produced by Ani DiFranco, got a lot of attention for the very funny “Tiger Woods,” with its running theme about the size of his balls (variously compared to pumpkins, plants and the swing of the eponymous golfer) and its hook “Sometimes I wish I was Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods.” His career was heating up fast, and the songs were pouring out of him at an unbelievable pace, but if you saw him perform in late ‘90s and

“If instead of songs, these were all chairs, I would have to live in a 50-acre ranch. But I keep this 50-acre ranch of songs floating around in my head.” -DAN BERN <20 had done before,” he admits. Never was that more true than his next album, 2001’s New American Language, which was a bit of a shock at the time, but is now considered by many fans to be his finest album to date. With its remarkably layered, gorgeous sonic landscape and songs that varied in style from the Elvis Costello-like opener “Sweetness” to the glittering title track to the closing “Thanksgiving Day Parade”—his moving take on Dylan’s “Desolation Row”—New American Language is filled with more shoulda-been radio hits than arguably any turn-of-the-century rock album. “If I had done that one while I was still with Sony, it would probably have been big,” he concurs, with a remarkable matter-of-factness. “New American Language probably took well over a year. Will, the guy who produced it, told me that for ‘God Said No,’ he cobbled together 60-some vocal takes. Which was a surprise to me, but I tend to do these things and kind of forget ’em.”
LETTING GO, HOLDING ON However tightly wound he may have been in the tumultuous early years of his career, he now exudes a warm, friendly calm. He’s clearly in a different place not just geographically, but emotionally. Over the last decade, each Dan Bern release has not seemed like a radical response to the last. Instead, they seem to build on each other, sometimes calling back to past

early 2000s, he didn’t always seem particularly happy. “Really?” he says, when I mention it. He pauses for a moment to think about it. “Maybe. It’s so long ago, and it’s kind of a blur. I remember feeling very defiant, and maybe that’s part of that. Defiant in terms of ‘These are my songs, this is what’s going on, this is how I’m feeling, this is what I’m going to play, this is what I’m going to record, this is what I’m going to put out.’ And there was just a ton of backlash. I don’t know, maybe 10 years later, same set of circumstances, maybe there wouldn’t have been. But at that time, in the circles I was playing—especially the American folk festivals—there was a lot of backlash. If I’d been a little smarter, I could probably have done myself a lot of good, in terms of a young career that was getting going.” Bern did get the cursed “next Bob Dylan” tag for a couple of years, but the off-kilter quality of his musical style—misfit folk-rock that often careened from verse to chorus to points uncharted—and a unique lyrical vision that was equal parts wit and emotion, with a touch of surrealism, established his identity. Still, he was uncomfortable being boxed in to any preconceived notions. In 1999, he put out the double-album Smartie Mine on an indie label, which revisited some of his already released material (including “Tiger Woods”) and was as raw and sprawling as Fifty Eggs had been polished and contained. “I think at that time, everything I did was in sharp reaction to what I

themes. Sometimes he doesn’t even realize when they do. At one point in our conversation, I mention that the fantastic title track of his 2015 album “Hoody” falls into a recurring theme in his work that I think of as the “escape song”—from burying his clothes out in some field in West Des Moines in “Black Tornado” to simply “speaking later and later in the day” or “sitting on the roof today, all by myself, not saying nothing to no one” (in “Go to Sleep”), a lot of his songs feature memorable expressions of the desire we all sometimes have to resist or even abandon completely society’s expectations. “Wow, I haven’t even thought of that as a theme,” he says, pausing to think about it for a moment. “It’s pretty illuminating, I gotta say.” Then again, Bern would need some kind of NSA-level big-data sifter to be able to hold onto all the details of what at this point is a massive body of work—only a fraction of which has actually ended up on record. Locals will remember Bern coming on KPIG’s live-music show “Please Stand By” and playing songs like “Opposable Thumb” and “The Fascist in Me,” and perhaps anticipating them turning up on his next record—but instead, they vanished into the ether, along with hundreds of other songs he’s written and even performed live, but never found room for on a proper album. “Well, what do you do?” he asks sincerely about his flood of songs. “I mean, I worked on this Walk Hard
movie. Marshall Crenshaw wrote one song, ‘Walk Hard.’ I wrote 200. Nine got in the movie, 15 were on the soundtrack, but I wrote 200. That’s just the way I do it all the time, but I don’t know what you do with all those. If instead of songs, these were all chairs, I would have to live in a 50-acre ranch. But I keep this 50-acre ranch of songs floating around in my head.”
HELLO AGAIN, TIGER How comfortable Bern is now in his role as the caretaker of that ranch is evident from the inclusion of the song “Dear Tiger Woods” on his new album, Regent Street. It’s not the first time he’s revisited a song—10 years after he released “Jerusalem” on his first EP, he continued the story on “Breathe,” and he sees both of them as part of a loose trilogy with “God Said No”—but this one is kind of a special case. In the late ’90s, his song “Tiger Woods” got him a lot of attention, but it became a little irritating after a while, and it certainly didn’t help when Woods’ lurid personal life hit the news and derailed his career. “For a couple years, probably daily people would come up and say something like, ‘Bet you don’t wish you were Tiger Woods now!’” says Bern. Ironically, though, that shift seems to have given him a renewed appreciation for the song, as he enjoyed tweaking the audience’s

with a muse, you know?” Another song on the new album that he loves to play is the title track. As the album’s opener, “Regent Street” shows how Bern can still surprise three decades into his career. The sound is big and bright, underscoring the fact that the band on the album is perhaps the best he’s ever worked with, and contrasting sharply with the increasingly sinister lyrics, which have a Leonard Cohen-esque feel of tiny conspiracies piling up. “My original way to do it was a lot darker,” he says of the song. “About three years ago, Roger Daltrey got this award in England. I forget what it’s called, but it’s a big deal, and each year the recipient puts together a disc of their favorite songs. And he used a couple of mine [‘Marilyn’ and ‘God Said No’]. That was really nice, so we were in touch a little bit. And he said, ‘If you’ve ever got a song, send it to me, I’ve got a solo project.’ So I sent him that one. And forgot about it, then about three months later he sent me an mp3 of him doing it with a band. And it was basically this version. I loved it. So when I was going to record it, I asked him, ‘Is this okay? I’m basically covering you covering me.’ He said, ‘Yeah, great.’ That’s why it sounds like that. That’s why it has the darkness and the brightness, because I copped his arrangement.” On his crowded ranch of songs, now transplanted to Santa Cruz, “Regent Street” already has a special place; in fact, he’s played it at every show he’s done since he wrote it two years ago. “Sometimes you’ll write a song and feel like, ‘Well, this is kind of a big one,’” says Bern. “When I wrote ‘Regent Street,’ I was in London, and I played it for my cousin, and it was almost like she could sense that this was going to be a bigger one for me.” He pauses again. “But sometimes you don’t know,” he says. “Sometimes, it’s just another one.” Dan Bern performs at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz.

of history of the league, and Rice played one-fifth of those years. But Williams never thought of the book in quite that way, nor did Rice himself. “I approached it as a fan of the game,” Rice tells me, via email, looking back on the project ahead of a Bookshop Santa Cruz signing on Nov. 8. Rice, who collaborated with Williams by going over all the material over the phone, loved diving into the research. The legendary wide receiver read up on the evolution of the passing offense, as well as the careers of gamechanging greats like Don Hutson, a Green Bay Packers split apparently end known as the “Alabama Antelope.” The process additionally served to strengthen Rice’s passion for NFL rivalries. Of his 20 seasons, Rice spent 19 of them playing in the Bay Area, most prominently with the Niners, and later in Oakland, where he spent more than three years as a Raider. In his prime during the 1980s and ’90s, the Niners’ dynasty repeatedly clashed with that of the Dallas Cowboys, creating a rivalry for the ages with on-field battles that Rice relished. He says his team played some of their best games against the Cowboys. “I loved the challenge,” Rice says. Williams says Rice’s viewpoint was invaluable to the books, as both include some first-person narratives woven in. “But even more so, it’s knowing what the players went through, because he lived it. That’s the greatest thing that Jerry brought to the project was knowing what to ask and what insights to look for,” says Williams, a Fremont native who grew up as a Chargers fan, “right under the nose of the Raiders,” as he puts it. (Williams confesses, by the way,
that he has fond teenage memories of ditching high school to go to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.) For the new book, Williams dug into the backstory of unforgettable moments and big games, like the Ice Bowl game, and also David Tyree’s late-game “helmet catch” from quarterback Eli Manning in the New York Giants’ historic Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots. Another one of Williams’ favorites was the 1968 “Heidi Game” between the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders, a riveting, high-scoring game that got cut off as the network switched to the television movie Heidi, about a girl living in the Swiss Alps. The abrupt change infuriated New York audiences, Williams says, forever changing how games are broadcast. It also almost led to some NBC executives losing their jobs. The sport of football is in a different place than 16 years ago, when Rice retired. And with the NFL looking back on 100 years of history, Williams isn’t worried about the future of a league that’s facing increased scrutiny for its injury risk, as well as for the long-term dangers posed by repeated head trauma. “The NFL’s taken the lead on all concussions,” Williams says. “I’m confident the public’s gonna decide. Just look at the TV ratings and the billions that are still demanded for the rights to it. It’s still a huge part of our pop culture. And I’m sure the NFL will figure it out.” Jerry Rice will be at Bookshop Santa Cruz for a signing of his new book on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 5pm. Each $32 ticket comes with one hardcover copy of ‘America's Game’ and admits a group of up to four people. Due to time constraints, there will be no posed photographs or signatures of memorabilia.

SONGS IN THE KEY OF RAD Radkey performs at the Blue Lagoon on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Rock trio Radkey follow up their surprise hit album ‘Delicious Rock Noise’ BY AARON CARNES
E
arlier this year, Missouri rock trio Radkey released the No Strange Cats EP. It’s the group’s most diverse record, with each song sounding like it belongs on its own album—there’s hardcore (“Spiders”), classic rock (“Junes”) and emo-pop (“St. Elwood”). “Every song is its own big thing, with a lot of sections,” says bassist Isaiah J. Radke III. “That was something new we hadn’t done before. We ended up hitting the studio so we could keep on the road.”
The group has focused on touring the past few years after aggressively pushing their second album, 2016’s Delicious Rock Noise, which was a re-issue of their 2015 debut album Dark Black Makeup. The release of Dark Black Makeup was supposed to follow up two successful EPs and help them jump to the next level, but their label didn’t do much for them. “They didn’t care,” Radke says. “We had to spend a good amount of time on the re-release just so it
wasn’t wasted. It cost a lot to make. We can’t just put it out and not have it do anything.” Their new label, Another Century Records, did care, and helped the group push it hard. They got songs on the radio, and the album charted on Billboard rock charts for 20 weeks, peaking at No. 23. You can understand why they wanted to make sure it had a chance to find an audience. They went into the release of their first LP already a buzz band. The group of brothers,

Keeping it Delicious
who grew up listening to their dad’s vast rock album collection—he now manages them—were inspired by the film School Of Rock. It took awhile, but eventually that seed manifested into the rock trio they are now. At their first show in 2011, they opened for Fishbone. Shortly after, their explosive set at SXSW piqued record-label interest, but they ended up self-releasing their first two EPs on their own Little Man Records. It was a filmed studio performance of mid-tempo acid rock song “Cat and Mouse” that caught the attention of a larger audience online. “That really helped us get far, because people could get a visual and a sound and not be confused about what was going on,” Radke says. The group often gets mistaken for a punk band, because they have some of those elements. But they are very clear that they are a rock band. It’s not just that they don’t want to be pigeonholed; they want to have the freedom to go in as many directions as possible. “We don’t want to just be one thing. We want to appeal to a lot of different kinds of people,” Radke says. “We just say that we’re a rock band that does pretty much whatever we want. All it really has to do is rock. It could be anything as long as it’s got that element.” The group is getting ready to release their long-awaited fulllength follow-up to Delicious Rock Noise. Everything is recorded; they’re just shopping around for a label. This won’t be the hodgepodge collection of songs that No Strange Cats was. The vision is to create a very cohesive rock album that has a clear flow and makes you want to listen to it front to back. “We were going for one of those old, really long rock records. We were going for something crazy cohesive,” Radke says. “We wanted to give people the feeling that once you put this record on, you go on this ride. It’s designed for that kind of experience.”

California Grey Bears, 2710 Chanticleer Ave., Santa Cruz. 234-6791. $5. FRED TURNER: ‘MACHINE POLITICS: THE RISE OF THE INTERNET AND A NEW AGE OF AUTHORITARIANISM’ In 1989, as Tim Berners-Lee dreamed up the World Wide Web, a deep faith in the democratizing power of decentralized communication ruled American life. Even Ronald Reagan, the Great Communicator of the Hollywood era, could be heard to proclaim that “The Goliath of totalitarianism
will be brought down by the micro-chip.” Today, of course, we know better. The question is, how did we go so far wrong? To try to answer that question, this talk returns to the 1940s and shows how our trust in decentralized communication was born in the fight against fascism during World War II, tracing that trust through the counterculture of the 1960s to the Silicon Valley of today. Along the way, it shows step-by-step how the 20th-century American dream of a society of technology-equipped, expressive individuals became the foundation of today’s newly emboldened and highly individualized form of authoritarianism. 6pm. Design by Cosmic, 115 Cooper St., Santa Cruz.

LOCAL BAND
DAMIEN GIBSON In Damien Gibson’s video for his hip-hop infused electro-pop song “18 Piñatas,” he literally stands in a room with 18 piñatas, and then destroys them. When he showed the video to his friends, a lot of them reacted like he was just being weird, but the concept is actually highly personal. As a kid, he always wanted a piñata for his birthday. Instead, he barely scraped by, watched his mom O.D. when he was 3, and later had to live in group homes after his dad went to prison. In the song, he says you can’t fix the past, but you can give yourself what you lacked.
NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
“Just because you weren’t given opportunities, you get that for yourself,” Gibson says. “Whatever your parents threw you into as far as life goes, it doesn’t matter.”
36
His relationship with music started in prison. At 19, he crashed a stolen car into a cop car in Sacramento, injuring himself and the officer, earning three years in jail. In 2013, a year after he got out, he started working with producers, and in 2014, he released his debut record and played 50 dates on the Warped Tour doing solo acoustic hip-hop. Since then, he’s self-released several experimental alt-pop records. Last month, he released Domenika on Monolog Records—his 12th album, but his first on a label. The new record, like “18 Piñatas,” is well-produced and mixes hip-hop, R&B and EDM elements. “It’s a higher-level production,” Gibson says. “Everything before was basically me working on my laptop with no formal training, just winging it.” AARON CARNES instagram.com/dmngbsn.
GO FEVER
WEDNESDAY 11/6 FOLK
VETIVER Fifteen years after their acclaimed debut, indie-folks Vetiver release their seventh album this month, and from the sound of lead single “To Who Knows Where,” these San Franciscans still know their way around the “WWWs.” That’s right, they’re as warm, weird and woodsy as ever. They may not be as freaky as when they were collaborating with Devandra Banhart back in the aughts, but they still gently rock, and dish out songs crackling with the insular warmth of a moonlit campfire. MIKE HUGUENOR 8:30pm. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $18 adv/$22 door. 479-1854.
THURSDAY 11/7 INDIE ROCK
LOOSE WING Long before it was the home of the Company That Will Kill Us All, Seattle was the birthplace of grunge. Washingtonian rockers Loose Wing remember those be-flanneled halcyon days, taking the best bits of ’90s coffee shop rock (its direct and folk-like
simplicity) and adding the choruspedal-and-crash-cymbal aesthetics of northwest grunge. Were it released in ’93, mid-album track “Wear Me Out” could have topped alt rock charts alongside 4 Non Blondes and R.E.M., its dolorous chorus bursting forth like a beam of sunlight, singular and alone in a sky heavy with clouds. MH 9pm. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 429-6994.
FRIDAY 11/8 SOUL
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR Ali Shaheed Muhammad, who cut his teeth DJing and producing for A Tribe Called Quest and Adrian Younge, is a brilliant composer who scored the music for Black Dynamite. The two first worked together on the Souls Of Mischief album There Is Only Now in 2013. This led to a proper album collab and some of the best soundtrack music in the past decade with the Luke Cage score, featuring that old-school jazzy, sweeping orchestral soul music of the classic Harlem era. AC 8pm. Felton Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20 adv/$24 door. 704-7113.
COMEDY
CHRIS RIGGINS Berkeley native Chris Riggins’ first stand up was opening for Dave Chappelle in 2009. What does that do to a fella? It might be too much ego-building too fast. Or it might be a wake-up call to keep your day job. But Riggins survived, rocking comedy sets all over the U.S. and hosting the hell out of fun Bay Area comedy events. He’s got a laid-back style and a talent for pinpointing what’s funny in all our daily hurts and struggles. In fact, his bio even says Riggins will “make you laugh until it feels good.” A prediction earned from opening for Dave Chappelle, perhaps? AMY BEE 7 & 9:30pm. DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 S. River St., Santa Cruz. $20 adv/$25 door. 900-5123.

MOTOSHI KOSAKO & MICHAEL MANRING Motoshi Kasako has taken the angelic sounds of the harp and infused a jazz sensibility into the instrument. Fretless bassist Michael Manring has spent the past several decades making his instrument sing like a singer’s voice in the context of jazz and new age. The two instrumentalists have joined forces to create a kind of experimental music that is overflowing
with so much beauty, you’ll swear you’re approaching the pearly gates, and that the music is much better than you ever expected. AC 2pm. Michael’s On Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $15. 479-9777.
MONDAY 11/11 JOSHUA REDMAN QUARTET Rather than maintaining a steady band, Berkeley saxophone star Joshua Redman draws on a small but deep pool of players. Featuring pianist Aaron Goldberg, and the insuperable rhythm section tandem of bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Gregory Hutchinson, the quartet he brings to Kuumbwa has been touring and recording intermittently for two decades. The ensemble debuted on 2000’s Beyond and 2001’s Passage of Time, an ambitious pair of albums on which Redman stretched his wings as a composer/arranger. He didn’t document the group again until the March release of his latest album Come What May. An impressive session featuring seven original Redman compositions. ANDREW GILBERT 7 and 9pm. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $31.50 adv/$36.75 door. 427-2227.

Lap steel guitarist Patti Maxine is a local treasure. Over the years, she’s sat in with more Santa Cruz musicians than she can count, usually choosing to step out of the spotlight, despite her incredible talent, and help whoever she’s playing with sound their best. Joshua Lowe is an incredible local roots musician that convinced her to form a proper duo. They bring the best of both of their worlds to stages all over Santa Cruz county. The duo released Family earlier this year. AC
rose to the top of charts and never looked back. Like punk, once it reached the top, it became safe. Rap became the music of millionaires, business execs and anyone trying to sell a lifestyle most of us won’t attain. But somewhere the last part of this decade, a hip-hop renaissance broke over the internet with acts like XXXTenacion, Lil Peep and yes, Ski Mask The Slump God. At 23 years old, this rap star has been in the limelight, keeping hip-hop dangerous, wild and real with music influenced by Wu Tang and Busta Rhymes. MW
Dallas ensemble the Funky Knuckles would rather you not pigeonhole them as a jazz, funk, rock, or jam band. They are all that, but mostly, they’re innovative improvisers that take edgy influences from every corner of the musical spectrum and spit out exciting, genredefying songs that groove hard and challenge the way you think of music. These are all experienced musicians who have played with artists like Beyonce, Polyphonic Spree, Talib Kweli, Janet Jackson, and Stanley Clarke.

GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER? Roman Griffin Davis, Taika Waititi and Scarlett Johansson in ‘Jojo Rabbit.’
Children’s Crusade NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
Can Nazis be funny? Taika Waititi says yes BY RICHARD VON BUSACK
42
S
ome people are going to hate Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit like they haven’t hated anything since Life is Beautiful, and understandably some will argue Nazis are never funny under any circumstances, no matter what ridiculous figures they cut with their rites, their idiot prejudices, and their too-cool Hugo Boss uniforms. But Mel Brooks, who was shot at by them at the Battle of the Bulge, was always certain Nazis were comedy gold. Even in these nervous times, can’t we accept Brooks’ judgment? 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.) Jojo tents out at Jugend camp with his equal beta-male pal (Archie Yates), laying awake telling scary stories about Jews: “I hear they smell like brussel sprouts.” Recreations include a campfire of burning books—Jojo shows a little hint of reluctance, before he tosses in a volume and joins in with the fun. Then comes a test of manhood: kill a bunny rabbit with his bare hands in front of his fellow
Jugenders. He fails. Dejected, he gets a visit from his imaginary pal Der Fuhrer (Waititi in contact lenses and shaky mustache), who gives him fatherly advice. The boy has a speculative idea of Hitler, imagining him as a smoker, which he wasn’t, and a meat eater who dines on yummy stuffed roast unicorn heads. Adolph’s bucking-up advice to Jojo is to tell him to be the rabbit—faster than anyone. He races forth to be the vanguard in a race, snatches a potato-masher hand grenade from a bigger boy, and tosses it. It bounces off a tree and blows up in his face. Now that his face is stitched up with scars, he’s an even bigger reject to all but his mom Rosie (a very relaxed and appealing Scarlett Johansson, with a buttery Marlene
Dietrich accent). The convalescing Jojo learns is that there’s another woman on the premise. Mom is secretly Anne-Franking a friend of the family in the attic. Young Elsa corners the boy with the Hitler Youth knife he wasn’t supposed to lose, but soon they become pals. For laughs, she schools simple Jojo on the Jews: do they hang upside like bats when they sleep? Can they read each others’ minds? As Elsa, Tomasin MacKenzie (Leave No Trace) is consistently unsentimental in the part. Both Elsa and Rosie’s amused solicitude with this backward, fatherless kid is charming. Moreover, they set up a border between the realm of the preposterous, macho Nazis and the far more mysterious and interesting world of women. As in John Boorman’s Hope and Glory, all the comfort and intelligence is on one side and all the pain and stupidity is on the other. To add some yang to this yin, there is a female Nazi, Frauline Rahmi; Rebel Wilson plays this platinum blonde Brunhilda working with Klenzendorf. She birthed more than a dozen babies for the Reich (the bastards used to give out Mutterkreuz medals for that). Wilson suggests with her posture that she can’t sit comfortably after all that parturition. 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. Aspects are like Kurt Vonnegut, both Slaughterhouse-5 and Mother Night. Jojo Rabbit’s elegantly turned if sometimes episodic comedy is as Blaise Pascal described life: the last act is bloody, no matter how pleasant the play has been. There’s no comfortable way out of the tale—the rocky last 15 minutes will give Jojo Rabbit’s haters ammo. Still, maybe nothing was as funny about the Nazis as their scurrying, ignominious end. JOJO RABBIT Directed by Taika Waititi. Starring Roman Griffin Davis and Scarlett Johansson. PG-13. 108 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES 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)

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) 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) 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) 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 THE ADDAMS FAMILY They’re creepy and they’re kooky/Mysterious and spooky/And once again cartoon-y/The Addams Family/I liked the live-action movies/That Wednesday girl was groovy/But the drawings are better, sue me/It’s how they’re supposed to be. Directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon. Featuring the voices of Oscar Isaac as Gomez, Charlize Theron as Morticia, Chloe Grace Mortez as Wednesday, Bette Midler as Grandma, and Snoop Dogg as It. (PG) 105 minutes. (SP) BLACK & BLUE Behind the scenes at a movie studio: Exec #1: “So we’ve got this movie where a lady police officer sees some other police officers murder someone, and then she has to run away from the other police officers because they think she’ll expose their crime. We’re thinking of calling it Black & Blue.” Exec #2: “That’s a stupid title.” Exec #1: Oh, right, I forgot to mention the lady police officer is black.” Exec #2: “So? Lots of police officers are black.” Exec #1: “Don’t you get it? She has to decide if she’s really black or blue.” Exec #2: “Ohhhh, you mean she’s literally blue, like Avatar? She’s an alien?” Exec #1: “What? No, you dumdum! She’s blue like cops are blue.”
Exec #2: “Oh my god, all the cops are from Avatar? That’s amazing!” Exec #1: “I’m just going to back slowly out of the room now.” Directed by Deon Taylor. Starring Naomie Harris, Mike Colter and Frank Grillo. (R) 108 minutes. (SP) HARRIET This movie about Harriet Tubman’s escape from slavery and transformation into a freedom fighter is so long overdue, no one even seems to remember how long it’s been kicking around in development hell. How deep it will get into Tubman’s incredible real-life story remains to be seen—did you know that besides her work for the Underground Railroad, she was also a Union spy in the Civil War, a suffragette and the founder of a home for elderly black people that she herself ended up spending her last years at? (Yeah, I listen to too many history podcasts, so what?) Directed by Kasi Lemmons. Starring Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr. and Janelle Monae. (PG-13) 125 minutes. (SP) JOKER Critics see this sympathetic retelling of the Joker’s origin story, in which he is basically a crazy disaffected white guy who leads a bunch of other crazy disaffected white guys in getting their violent “revenge” on society, as—well, I probably don’t have to explain to you why this is the worst timing ever for this movie. For some reason, the people involved in the movie don’t get it, though, or are at least pretending not to. Director Todd Phillips wondered aloud why John Wick 3 didn’t get the same criticism (I’m assuming he didn’t see John Wick 3, a rather traditional action movie which toys with literally none of the hot-button issues that Joker does). Meanwhile, star Joaquin Phoenix simply walked out of an interview where a question about these themes was raised. Whoa, you really showed people with reasonable questions where to stick it, Joaquin! This might be the best movie of the year, for all I know, but if you’re going to make a controversial movie that fetishizes a twisted psychology that has led to realworld tragedy, maybe have the basic decency and intelligence level to talk about it articulately? (R) 121 minutes. (SP) THE LIGHTHOUSE Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in this blackand-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) MALEFICENT: MISTRESS OF EVIL I didn’t see the first one of these movies, but I’m going to guess it was either a Disney movie about the wicked fairy godmother in the Sleeping Beauty story, or maybe a documentary exploring the gender of rapper 50 Cent? Eh, probably the Disney one. Sorry, Fiddy! Directed by Joachim Ronning. Starring Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer. (PG) 118 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)
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-child-actor 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)

THOUGHT FOR FOOD Sean Brock will discuss his new cookbook ‘South’ at a UCSC and Bookshop Santa Cruz event on Monday, Nov. 11.
Deeper South NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
As he comes to Santa Cruz, chef Sean Brock wants us to think differently about Southern cuisine BY WALLACE BAINE
46
A
longside Ken Burns’s glorious recent multipart documentary Country Music, the publication of Sean Brock’s new cookbook, simply titled South, marks a mini-moment, even a kind of re-evaluation, for the region of the country known as the South. Southern culture has always hidden in plain sight in the larger American mainstream, and the rest of the country has never been able to escape its gravitational pull. But red state/blue state divisions tend to oversimplify regional differences. And the South is particularly prone to cartoonish portrayals. Brock is nobody’s idea of a cartoon. A superstar of the American kitchen—he’s won the prestigious James Beard Foundation
Award, and has starred in The Mind of a Chef on PBS and Neflix’s Chef’s Table—Brock is also an amateur anthropologist and evangelist for Southern cuisine. He comes to UCSC on Nov. 11 in an event co-sponsored by the university’s Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems and Bookshop Santa Cruz. He will be interviewed on stage by Oakland chef Tonya Holland. Brock’s new book is his second, a follow-up to 2014 New York Times bestseller Heritage. One of the overarching themes of South is Brock’s insistence that the South is not one monolithic thing, especially when it comes to cuisine. The book, in fact, features side-by-side maps of the South and continental Europe, emphasizing their comparable sizes, but making a point about similar
diversities in culture. Brock grew up in a small town called Pound in southwestern Virginia, which is Appalachian mountain country, much closer to Kentucky and West Virginia coal country than Washington, D.C. But he made his name as an executive chef in Charleston, South Carolina, the South’s most elegant and historically resonant coastal city. “In my opinion, they could be different countries,” he says of the difference between his native home and Charleston. He arrived in Charleston as a teen, a food prodigy eager to show what he can do in the South’s cuisine capital. But he found the culture shock severe. “That was the first moment when I was just knocked back—‘Holy Cow, I don’t know what any of this food is.
And nobody here knows what any of my food is.’” The new cookbook is a meditation and examination of many staples of the Southern diet—it may, in fact, be the definitive text on cornbread— and takes a neo-primitive view of the purity of ingredients (the man makes his own bologna). Brock is an advocate for looking at food through the interplay between four basic themes: natives, immigrants, geography, and ingredients. South explores the basics of Southern cooking, many of which have been weighed down by decades of stereotypes. Okra, for instance, is a Southern staple that has had problems translating outside the South, thanks mostly to a high slime factor in its preparation. Brock’s new book contains a recipe that reduces the slime—hint: grilling. “We have to convert all these okra haters into okra believers,” he says. The book also goes deep into greens, grits, fried chicken, catfish, and cured country ham. Because of religious restrictions, Brock never tasted pork growing up. Now, he’s a pig completist. In the book, he admits that fried pig ears are one of the dishes he’s most known for. The emphasis on convenience in the industrial food system has had a devastating effect on Southern food, he says. That age of convenience over flavor and nutrition may be coming to an end. “Now, we’re getting to a much better place where those ingredients are coming back,” he says. “I see a completely different South in five years, in 10 years. I see something totally different. We are such a young country. We have traditions that haven’t even started yet, that one day will become historical traditions of the South. You draw a timeline from 1650 to 2080, say. We’re just a blip on that timeline. We still have so much to explore, so much to discover, and so much to create.” Sean Brock, author of ‘South: Essential Recipes and New Explorations,’ will be in conversation with Tonya Holland on Monday, Nov. 11, at 7pm at UCSC’s Cowell Ranch Hay Barn. $45, includes one copy of ‘South.’ bookshopsantacruz.com.

here are Chardonnays, and then there are Chardonnays! Soquel Vineyards’ superior 2018 Chardonnay ($35) has a head start on others because of its highquality fruit. Grapes are harvested from Lester Family Vineyard in Aptos, where oenophiles in the know are aware of how carefully grapes are tended. Fresh and enticing aromas of pineapple and flavors of meltin-the-mouth crème brûlée are prominent in this well-made Chardonnay. With its rich concentration of pure fruit, followed by sweet, creamy French oak, it was awarded a well-deserved 91 points by Wine Enthusiast. Aged in French oak for 10 months, the end result is a wine to delight any lover of Chardonnay. On a recent visit to Soquel Vineyards’ tasting room, I admired co-owner Peter Bargetto’s shirt. He told me that his mother-in-law in Italy bought it for him, and he’d love for me to mention it—so, I’m doing that! Peter’s wife of three decades, Irene, hails from Italy, and they go there often. Soquel Vineyards has a lovely tasting room and a beautiful patio
overlooking their vineyards and the Monterey Bay. Soquel Vineyards, 8063 Glen Haven Rd., Soquel. 462-9045, soquelvineyards.com.

Mary Flodin
Retired PV teacher shines a light on pesticide danger in book BY JACOB PIERCE
F
ormer elementary school teacher Mary Flodin remembers getting the flu every fall. Or at least she thought it was the flu. So did many of her coworkers at Pajaro Valley Unified School District. Eventually, they realized that they were all getting sick when farmers began fumigating neighboring berry fields. Then, school employees and students started coming down with a rare bone cancer, one that also affected farmworkers nearby, Flodin says. She also heard reports of spikes in miscarriages, autoimmune disorders, rashes and endocrinerelated health problems. Flodin, who’s now retired, wrote a novel, Fruit of the Devil, based on a true story about the dangers of pesticides. “We became activists, and it’s a story about all of that,” she says.
You write that it’s a ‘cli-fi’ eco thriller. Does that have to do with climate change?
Yes, it does. And it is an academically recognized genre. But the New York publishing industry
has been slow to figure it out. It means exactly what you think. It’s fiction that deals with climate change, and often has a sciencefiction/fantasy edge to it. Do you have a message for berry lovers?
Absolutely. Strawberry is a wonderful fruit. It’s nutritious and delicious, and people should eat strawberries. But it is meant to be a seasonal fruit, and people should buy strawberries locally in season from organic growers. And please avoid commercial berries. We are in acute climate change crisis, and we need to change all of our human systems to sustainable systems. And that that includes our agricultural systems. We must transition to an ecologically sustainable, socially and environmentally just method of growing, distributing and consuming our food. Mary Flodin will launch ‘Fruit of the Devil’ on Friday, Nov. 8, at 5pm at the Santa Cruz Food Lounge, 1001 Center St., Santa Cruz.
H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES CRISIS, POLARIZATION, THEN SWEEP
The sign influencing humanity after Libra (choice) is Scorpio (discipleship). Scorpio distributes the dandelion yellow light of Ray 4, from a star in the Big Dipper. Ray 4 is Harmony emerging from deep conflict, crisis and chaos. Humanity learns through conflict and crisis. Conflict is always between two things—a duality that is part of living on planet Earth. When we see opposites, we can choose to stand on one side or the other, or lift up to a place that integrates the two. Duality is purposeful. It creates tension. And tension is needed so that we can “sweep” forward (or back). On our planet, the equation of change and choice is “crisis, polarization, then sweep” (upward or downward). In this Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, these issues arise again. Scorpio calls humanity to be the world
disciple, the warrior, courageous enough to fight for liberty, justice and humanity’s freedoms. Being a Scorpio is very hard work. It’s the most misunderstood of the signs (along with Pisces). Scorpios are aware of others on invisible levels, aware of attitudes and behaviors that most don’t understand. Scorpio often experiences betrayal. Scorpio conceals from everyone (except trusted intimates) their innermost secrets, lest more betrayal occur. If you’re trustworthy, Scorpio can be your friend. Tend to them with quiet understanding, kindness and care. They’re often weary from constant inner and outer battles, the nine spiritual tests of Mars and the concept of death and regeneration always surrounding them. Scorpio is the phoenix.
ARIES Mar21–Apr20
LIBRA Sep23–Oct22
It’s important to be scrupulous when handling other people’s money and possessions. It’s most important if one holds another’s heart. Total confidence is involved here, and you cannot betray and/or fall out of anyone’s trust. If investing, research all angles. Investing in precious metals is most important now.
Tend carefully to money, resources, bills, insurance, savings, investments. Shift your portfolio to a place of safety. I write this because Scorpio, the planet of resources, is in your house of money. Is there a need to change how and where your money is spent? Do you need a budget? Do you feel free yet from the past?
TAURUS Apr21–May21
SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21
It’s time to be with those you love—perhaps your one and only, or perhaps your closest friend, partner or business associate. Someone who tugs at your heart, someone you would enjoy being with for a long time, someone you’re relaxed with, who knows your secrets and doesn’t care, or perhaps knows no secrets about you and likes you anyway. You all need to be together for a while. Don’t worry about tension or disharmony. Harmony’s your middle name.
All the planets have tumbled into your sign, and sometimes that’s a relief. Sometimes it’s too much scrutiny and too many feelings to cope with. Usually you follow strict routines to soothe the reality that life is one moment death, the next life and regeneration. You’re the phoenix always emerging from the flames. Revelations occur, releasing you from restrictions, presenting new possibilities. A different sense of self emerges. Still mysterious, still deep, but ... different.
Esoteric Astrology as news for the week of Nov. 6, 2019
GEMINI May 22–June 20
SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You turn inward a bit more. There’s less striding about, chest out, seeking the social activities that provide you with insight. As you turn inward, spiritual realizations appear that could not have come forward before. Jupiter, your very own planet of expansiveness and sometimes of just too much of everything, is guiding you toward understanding others more. The result of this is compassion, the religion of the Dalai Lama. Underneath all your bravado, you have deep wells of compassion.
CANCER Jun21–Jul20
CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20
You need to go out and about, you need friends to be with, you need to have fun. Think about choosing pleasure over worry. You need to consider what creative sorts of events would relax you and make you laugh out loud. You need less restriction, less discipline, less anxiety and fretfulness. The world is the same whether we worry or not. Now what would be fun for you? Who would you share fun with?
Friends, and those who want to be your friend, will show up or call or invite you over or think about you as a leader who shows compassion and kindness, and as someone they would want to follow, have a conversation with and receive guidance from. It’s also possible that you realize you need freedom or you need a group to belong to so all your gifts can emerge. Should you begin that group yourself? Are you waiting for a phone call?
LE0 Jul21–Aug22
AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18
The home seems to be the focus once again during these Scorpio days. It’s a time for clearing out, cleaning, eliminating, storing, redecorating, or at least moving a few furniture pieces around to make your home feel different, more comfortable, attractive, or clear. Do you need to remove dark drapes, rugs or objects? What does your home need? Also, are you bringing work home, and do you have time for friends? There’s still a secret there, somewhere. What is it?
Self-recognition concerning your talents, gifts and abilities come forth easily now. You realize your originality and uniqueness, and they are applauded in the world along with your consistency, an unusual talent for Aquarius ruled by the revolutionary planet, Uranus. Your roots are stable, traditions are important, and you create new traditions as you go. You are preparing for the future in the ways you live your daily life. This is unusual, too.
VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Are you agitated, edgy, a bit impatient and restless? Always you need to serve. What in your town, village, community, neighborhood can you connect with or assist, serve and be available for? You are the right person, especially this month, to work in a secret garden. It’s time to meet new people you’ve never seen before and to bring forth all secret aspects of self you’ve kept under wraps for protection. Try and let that fall away.
PISCES Feb19–Mar20 It is good to create a healing journey. You don’t need to travel anywhere. It can be done wherever you are, this healing journey—in real time, dreamtime or future time. Focusing on health for the next six months is important. Something new is initiated. Something’s given. Something from the past ends. Be observant of these. Create a deeper intimacy with those around you. Have the intentions for Goodwill in all interactions. You are assisted by specific and special angels. Eat well. Have fun. Be happy. Life is good.

There’s a tremendous amount of work to be completed, and it seems like forever, and then new work appears. Sometimes there are misunderstandings at home about work, especially now with Scorpio influences. It could be with a partner, so be careful with communication, and don’t leave anyone behind or think everyone or anyone understands you. Talk, communicate, listen, then talk some more ‘til understanding appears.

ORDINANCE NO. 2019-20 AN INTERIM EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ PROHIBITING NO-FAULT EVICTIONS THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2019 WITHIN THE CITY
real estate
BE IT ORDAINED By the City of Santa Cruz as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. A. Pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City of Santa Cruz (“City”) may make and enforce all regulations and ordinances using its police powers. B. The City has one of the least affordable housing markets in California and the United States, which exacerbates the City’s shortage of decent, safe, affordable, and sanitary rental housing.
C. Renters occupy about 56 percent of the City’s housing stock and 67.5 percent of renters are cost burdened under the federal definition, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. D. Through the City’s Fall 2017 Community Outreach on Housing, the City received extensive public testimony about the exorbitant costs and scarcity of rental units. E. Given the housing cost burden faced by many City residents, excessive rental increases threaten the public health, safety, and welfare of City residents, including seniors, those on fixed incomes, those with low and moderate income levels, and those with other special needs to the extent that such persons may be forced to choose between paying rent and providing food, clothing, and medical care for themselves and their families. F. Housing insecurity and excessive rent increases could result in homelessness and displacement of low-income families.
NOVEMBER 6-12, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM
G. On October 8, 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, Assembly Bill 1482 (“AB 1482”), an act adding and repealing Sections 1946.2, 1947.12, and 1947.13 of the California Civil Code, effective beginning January 1, 2020, which prohibits evictions without “just cause” and owners of specified residential rental property from increasing rents each year more than 5 percent plus the percentage change in the cost of living or 10 percent, whichever is lower.
54
H. AB 1482 will provide renter protections to households in the City of Santa Cruz beyond that offered by the City’s Large Rent Increase Ordinance. I. According to testimony provided to the City Council at the meetings of October 8, 2019 and October 22, 2019, in advance of the implementation of AB 1482, no-fault eviction notices and threats of eviction have surged. J. The City Council wishes to protect renters from no-fault evictions through December 31, 2019, in advance of AB 1482’s effective date, to prevent further homelessness and displacement. K. Based upon the above-described facts and circumstances, and for these same reasons, the City Council finds that this ordinance is necessary as an emergency measure for preserving the public peace, health and safety, and therefore that it may be introduced and adopted at one and the same meeting, and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. L. It is the intent of City Council that this ordinance mirror AB 1482 in effect and interpretation. To that end, it is the intent of City Council that this ordinance apply only to tenancies impacted by AB 1482.
SECTION 2. Chapter 21.07 – JUST CAUSE EVICTION is added to the City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code to read as follows: “Chapter 21.07 JUST CAUSE EVICTION 21.07.010 DEFINITIONS.
The following words and phrases, whenever used in this article, shall be construed as defined in this section. A.City Council. The Santa Cruz City Council. B. Landlord. An owner of record, lessor, sublessor, or any other person, entity or non-natural person entitled to receive Rent for the use and occupancy of any Rental Unit, or an agent, representative, predecessor, or successor of any of the foregoing. C. Property. All Rental Units on a parcel or lot or contiguous parcels or contiguous lots under common ownership that are subject to AB 1482. D. Rent. All periodic payments and all nonmonetary consideration including, but not limited to, the fair market value of goods, labor performed or services rendered to or for the benefit of the Landlord for use or occupancy of a Rental Unit and Housing Services under a Rental Housing Agreement. E. Tenant. A Tenant, subtenant, lessee, sublessee, or a person entitled under the terms of a Rental Housing Agreement to the use or occupancy of a Rental Unit. 21.07.020 PROHIBITION AGAINST EVICTIONS WITHOUT JUST CAUSE
A. Notwithstanding any other law, after a tenant has continuously and lawfully occupied a residential real property for 12 months, the owner of the residential real property shall not terminate the tenancy without just cause, which shall be stated in the written notice to terminate tenancy. If any additional adult tenants are added to the lease before an existing tenant has continuously and l awfully occupied the residential real property for 24 months, then this subdivision shall only apply if either of the following are satisfied: 1. All of the tenants have continuously and lawfully occupied the residential real property for 12 months or more. 2. One or more tenants have continuously and lawfully occupied the residential real property for 24 months or more. B. For purposes of this section, “just cause” includes either of the following: 1. At-fault just cause, which is any of the following: a) Default in the payment of rent. b) A breach of a material term of the lease, as described in paragraph (3) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure, including, but not limited to, violation of a provision of the lease after being issued a written notice to correct the violation. c) Maintaining, committing, or permitting the maintenance or commission of a nuisance as described in paragraph (4) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. d) Committing waste as described in paragraph (4) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. e) The tenant had a written lease that terminated on or after January 1, 2020, and
after a written request or demand from the owner, the tenant has refused to execute a written extension or renewal of the lease for an additional term of similar duration with similar provisions, provided that those terms do not violate this section or any other provision of law. f) Criminal activity by the tenant on the residential real property, including any common areas, or any criminal activity or criminal threat, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 422 of the Penal Code, on or off the residential real property, that is directed at any owner or agent of the owner of the residential real property. g) Assigning or subletting the premises in violation of the tenant’s lease, as described in paragraph (4) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. h) The tenant’s refusal to allow the owner to enter the residential real property as authorized by Sections 1101.5 and 1954 of this code, and Sections 13113.7 and 17926.1 of the Health and Safety Code. i) Using the premises for an unlawful purpose as described in paragraph (4) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. j) The employee, agent, or licensee’s failure to vacate after their termination as an employee, agent, or a licensee as described in paragraph (1) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. k) When the tenant fails to deliver possession of the residential real property after providing the owner written notice as provided in Section 1946 of the tenant’s intention to terminate the hiring of the real property, or makes a written offer to surrender that is accepted in writing by the landlord, but fails to deliver possession at the time specified in that written notice as described in paragraph (5) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. 2. No-fault just cause, which includes any of the following: a) i. Intent to occupy the residential real property by the owner or their spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents.
ii. For leases entered into on or after September 1, 2019, clause (i) shall apply only if the tenant agrees, in writing, to the termination, or if a provision of the lease allows the owner to terminate the lease if the owner, or their spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents, unilaterally decides to occupy the residential real property. Addition of a provision allowing the owner to terminate the lease as described in this clause to a new or renewed rental agreement or fixed-term lease constitutes a similar provision for the purposes of subparagraph (e) of paragraph (1). b) Withdrawal of the residential real property from the rental market. c) i. The owner complying with any of the following: a) An order issued by a government agency or court relating to habitability that necessitates vacating the residential real property. b) An order issued by a government agency or court to vacate the residential real property. c) A local ordinance that necessitates vacating the residential real property.
ii. If it is determined by any government agency or court that the tenant is at fault for the condition or conditions triggering the order or need to vacate under clause (i), the tenant shall not be entitled to relocation assistance as outlined in paragraph (c) of subdivision (4). d) i. Intent to demolish or to substantially remodel the residential real property.
ii. For purposes of this subparagraph, “substantially remodel” means the replacement or substantial modification of any structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical system that requires a permit from a governmental agency, or the abatement of hazardous materials, including lead-based paint, mold, or asbestos, in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, that cannot be reasonably accomplished in a safe manner with the tenant in place and that requires the tenant to vacate the residential real property for at least 30 days. Cosmetic improvements alone, including painting, decorating, and minor repairs, or other work that can be performed safely without having the residential real property vacated, do not qualify as substantial rehabilitation. 3. Before an owner of residential real property issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for just cause that is a curable lease violation, the owner shall first give notice of the violation to the tenant with an opportunity to cure the violation pursuant to paragraph (3) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the violation is not cured within the time period set forth in the notice, a three-day notice to quit without an opportunity to cure may thereafter be served to terminate the tenancy. 4. a) For a tenancy for which just cause is required to terminate the tenancy under subdivision (A), if an owner of residential real property issues a termination notice based on a no-fault just cause described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (B), the owner shall, regardless of the tenant’s income, at the owner’s option, do one of the following: i. Assist the tenant to relocate by providing a direct payment to the tenant as described in paragraph (c). ii. Waive in writing the payment of rent for the final month of the tenancy, prior to the rent becoming due. b) If an owner issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for no-fault just cause, the owner shall notify the tenant of the tenant’s right to relocation assistance or rent waiver pursuant to this section. If the owner elects to waive the rent for the final month of the tenancy as provided in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a), the notice shall state the amount of rent waived and that no rent is due for the final month of the tenancy. c) i. The amount of relocation assistance or rent waiver shall be equal to one month of the tenant’s rent that was in effect when the owner issued the notice to terminate the tenancy. Any relocation assistance shall be provided within 15 calendar days of service of the notice. ii. If a tenant fails to vacate after the expiration of the notice to terminate the tenancy, the actual amount of any relocation assistance or rent waiver provided pursuant to this subdivision shall be recoverable as damages in an action to recover possession. iii. The relocation assistance or rent waiver required by this subdivision shall be credited against any other relocation assistance required by any other law. d) An owner’s failure to strictly comply with this subdivision shall render the notice of termination void. 5. This section shall not apply to properties deemed exempt in AB1482, including the following types

We’ve been hearing about a “shift” in the marketplace, in hushed tones, for quite a while now. Buyers, sellers and agents have all been noticing subtle changes creeping into what has been a lopsided Sellers’ Market for years. People reading the tea leaves have probably picked up on a few signs. One easy one is that there seem to be more actual real estate signs dotted around the landscape. It also seems like houses are staying on the market longer. There are also more reports about price reductions, and a lot fewer stories about the ten offers the neighbor’s house just received. Of course, the overall number of sales has been low for years but since the active inventory has also been at historic lows, it stands to reason there would be fewer sales. And while we’ve been hearing that the real estate market in Silicon Valley has slowed, to the uninitiated it still looks like prices are so high over there that it seems silly to think of any “softening.” Some talk about a “shift” has been spurred by the general belief that markets can’t just keep going up forever, that they have to rest and come down every once in a while. And yet, there just hasn’t been a lot of “hard evidence” about an actual “shift” that anyone has been able to point to. Until now of course. The trailing indicators have finally arrived to give credence to what people have been whispering about for months. Closed sales for Santa Cruz for September spell out the details and offer definitive handwriting on the wall for all of us to consider. Median Price: DOWN from $930k in September of 2018 to $795k in September of 2019. For more than a year, the median price has hovered around $900k and this is more than a significant adjustment downward. Days on Market: UP to 56 days in September of 2019 from 53 days in 2018. Percentage of List Price Received: DOWN to 98% in September of 2019 from 99% in 2018. This number is based on actual list price at the time of sale, not the original list price. The percentage of original list price number is much closer to 92% given the drop in median price. Average Months to Sell: UP to 3.6 months in 2019 from 3.3 months in 2018. This is the longest it has taken to sell a home in quite a few years, signaling a slower, more balanced market. Number of Sales: UP from 131 homes in September 2018 to 151 homes in September 2019. Translation: as prices were reduced, more homes sold. More on the shifting market 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!”
