OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE Many of Donald Trump’s first agenda items as president have sparked visceral outrage— his plans to limit women’s reproductive rights fueled Women’s Marches around the world, and his move to impose a travel ban on legal American visitors and even citizens incited protests at U.S. airports last weekend. That these extreme actions have provoked such passionate resistance makes sense, especially as the supposedly populist Trump responds to the anger of the populace by taking in a screening of Finding Dory and bizarrely suggesting that his policies are “working out very nicely.” What I don’t understand, on the other hand, is the relative lack of pushback against Trump’s plan to repeal—or at the very least, significantly scale back—the Affordable Care Act. It’s a move that

IT’S GONNA BE TERRIFIC

Republicans in Congress are repealing Obamacare to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. The rich were taxed to pay for the government subsidies, and that is what drove Republicans crazy. Taxes on the rich? Never! Obamacare bad! Trump, a compulsive liar, promises a “terrific” plan is coming, but without new tax revenues, that is impossible. It is all a big lie to cut Medicaid and give more tax cuts to the 1 percent. And it gets worse. After Obamacare is gone, they will try to end Medicare by privatizing it. Can you imagine an 80-year-old person forced to buy private insurance? Republicans can. ANDREW TODD | SANTA CRUZ

RIGHT PROFILE Checking out the Good Times on Christmas evening, quite busy during these days since your Wednesday drop. This week’s work is solid, but Christina Waters’ piece on Paul Schraub (GT, 12/21) was so tight and descriptive I must write. I am friends with Paul and r.r. Jones, first with business work

will wreck as many lives as Trump’s other actions, and may sabotage the overall well-being of our country even more. Perhaps it’s simply an issue wrapped in too much policy-speak to be totally clear to a lot of people, or the bureaucratic nature of the topic has numbed the emotion around it. I’ve had more than one person tell me something along the lines of “Well, it wasn’t a perfect system anyway …” I wonder if those people will feel the same after reading Kara Guzman’s cover story this week. Because what it does is strip away the policy-speak to take a closer look at what losing just one facet of Obamacare coverage—the access it provides to mental health care in Santa Cruz County—will mean to thousands of people who depend on it. It’s clear from reading it how losing even just this one aspect of the ACA will devastate our ability to deal with mental health issues locally. That it comes at a time when we are finally making real progress in how we treat mental health care only makes it more of a disaster, and an outrage. STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

and with r.r. with jazz. Great Santa Cruz professionals and this interview with Schraub is most descriptive of what I am trying to say. ROBERT B. ZUFALL | SANTA CRUZ

The Santa Cruz Warriors are riding a threegame winning streak, having beaten those opponents by an average of 14 points, thanks partly to some lights-out shooting performances. The Warriors, who at 16-12, sit in second place in the Pacific Division shot 61 percent on three-pointers in Salt Lake City on Friday, Jan. 27. The next night in Santa Cruz, forward Scott Wood made a franchise record 10 threes, shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc.

Pie for the People is a seasonal community pie potluck benefitting grassroots organizations. From 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12, the group will hold a benefit at Branciforte Small Schools for the Senderos after-school program, which celebrates cultural diversity. Fans of the after-school program are encouraged to show up to the community potluck with a sweet or savory vegetarian pie, $5 and a plate and fork. Visit scsenderos.org for more information.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Once upon a time, Calvin of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip made this bold declaration: “Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!” Given your current astrological aspects, Aries, I think you have every right to invoke that battle cry yourself. From what I can tell, there’s a party underway inside your head. And I’m pretty sure it’s a healthy bash, not a decadent debacle. The bliss it stirs up will be authentic, not contrived. The release and relief it triggers won’t be trivial and transitory, but will generate at least one long-lasting breakthrough.

When he was in the rock band Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh took his time composing and recording new music. From 1978 to 1984, he and his collaborators averaged one album per year. But when Mothersbaugh started writing soundtracks for the weekly TV show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, his process went into overdrive. He typically wrote an entire show’s worth of music each Wednesday and recorded it each Thursday. I suspect you have that level of creative verve right now, Libra. Use it wisely! If you’re not an artist, channel it into the area of your life that most needs to be refreshed or reinvented.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

The coming weeks will be an excellent time to ask for favors. I think you will be exceptionally adept at seeking out people who can actually help you. Furthermore, those from whom you request help will be more receptive than usual. Finally, your timing is likely to be close to impeccable. Here’s a tip to aid your efforts: A new study suggests that people are more inclined to be agreeable to your appeals if you address their right ears rather than their left ears.

Many vintage American songs remain available today because of the pioneering musicologist, John Lomax. In the first half of the 20th century, he traveled widely to track down and record obscure cowboy ballads, folk songs, and traditional African-American tunes. “Home on the Range” was a prime example of his many discoveries. He learned that song, often referred to as “the anthem of the American West,” from a black saloonkeeper in Texas. I suggest we make Lomax a role model for you Scorpios during the coming weeks. It’s an excellent time to preserve and protect the parts of your past that are worth taking with you into the future.

GEMINI May21–June20 Here are your five words of power for the next two weeks, Gemini. 1. Unscramble. Invoke this verb with regal confidence as you banish chaos and restore order. 2. Purify. Be inspired to cleanse your motivations and clarify your intentions. 3. Reach. Act as if you have a mandate to stretch out, expand, and extend yourself to arrive in the right place. 4. Rollick. Chant this magic word as you activate your drive to be lively, carefree and frolicsome. 5. Blithe. Don’t take anything too personally, too seriously, or too literally.

The 17th-century German alchemist Hennig Brand collected 1,500 gallons of urine from beer-drinkers, then cooked and recooked it till it achieved the “consistency of honey.” Why? He thought his experiment would eventually yield large quantities of gold. It didn’t, of course. But along the way, he accidentally produced a substance of great value: phosphorus. It was the first time anyone had created a pure form of it. So in a sense, Brand “discovered” it. Today phosphorus is widely used in fertilizers, water treatment, steel production, detergents, and food processing. I bring this to your attention, my fellow Cancerian, because I suspect you will soon have a metaphorically similar experience. Your attempt to create a beneficial new asset will not generate exactly what you wanted, but will nevertheless yield a useful result.

The mountain won’t come to you. It will not acquire the supernatural power to drag itself over to where you are, bend its craggy peak down to your level, and give you a free ride as it returns to its erect position. So what will you do? Moan and wail in frustration? Retreat into a knot of helpless indignation and sadness? Please don’t. Instead, stop hoping for the mountain to do the impossible. Set off on a journey to the remote, majestic pinnacle with a fierce song in your determined heart. Pace yourself. Doggedly master the art of slow, incremental magic.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Who can run faster, a person or a horse? There’s evidence that under certain circumstances, a human can prevail. In June of every year since 1980, the Man versus Horse Marathon has taken place in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. The route of the race weaves 22 miles through marshes, bogs and hills. On two occasions, a human has outpaced all the horses. According to my astrological analysis, you Capricorns will have that level of animalistic power during the coming weeks. It may not take the form of foot speed, but it will be available as stamina, energy, vitality, and instinctual savvy.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

In the documentary movie Catfish, the directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, present a metaphor drawn from the fishing industry. They say that Asian suppliers used to put live cod in tanks and send them to overseas markets. It was only upon arrival that the fish would be processed into food. But there was a problem: Because the cod were so sluggish during the long trips, their meat was mushy and tasteless. The solution? Add catfish to the tanks. That energized the cod and ultimately made them more flavorful. Moral of the story, according to Joost and Schulman: Like the cod, humans need catfish-like companions to stimulate them and keep them sharp. Do you have enough influences like that in your life, Leo? Now is a good time to make sure you do.

Who would have guessed that Aquarian Charles Darwin, the pioneering theorist of evolution, had a playful streak? Once he placed a male flower’s pollen under a glass along with an unfertilized female flower to see if anything interesting would happen. “That’s a fool’s experiment,” he confessed to a colleague. “But I love fools’ experiments. I am always making them.” Now would be an excellent time for you to consider trying some fools’ experiments of your own, Aquarius. I bet at least one of them will turn out to be both fun and productive.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

The city of Boston allows an arts organization called Mass Poetry to stencil poems on sidewalks. The legal graffiti is done with a special paint that remains invisible until it gets wet. So if you’re a pedestrian trudging through the streets as it starts to rain, you may suddenly behold, emerging from the blank grey concrete, Langston Hughes’ poem “Still Here” or Fred Marchant’s “Pear Tree In Flower.” I foresee a metaphorically similar development in your life, Virgo: a pleasant and educational surprise arising unexpectedly out of the vacant blahs.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In Shakespeare’s play MacBeth, three witches brew up a spell in a cauldron. Among the ingredients they throw in there is the “eye of newt.” Many modern people assume this refers to the optical organ of a salamander, but it doesn’t. It’s actually an archaic term for “mustard seed.” When I told my Piscean friend John about this, he said, “Damn! Now I know why Jessica didn’t fall in love with me.” He was making a joke about how the love spell he’d tried hadn’t worked. Let’s use this as a teaching story, Pisces. Could it be that one of your efforts failed because it lacked some of the correct ingredients? Did you perhaps have a misunderstanding about the elements you needed for a successful outcome? if so, correct your approach and try again.

OPINION

importance of sibling relationships. Your comparison of estranged siblings to wasted fertile soil I think is spot on. My brother hasn’t talked to me in almost a decade. My heart breaks every time I think of him. I definitely feel an emptiness, something missing inside no longer having a brother. We were quite close growing up. Oh, and I wanted to mention another sibling stereotype of which we are a part: I turned out to be the weird, depressed, underachieving older sister who became the scapegoat, perhaps due to me being the first experimental child and getting 90 percent of my father’s

wrath over anyone else in the family. — JESSICA

RE: RENTALS Where does someone find a two-bedroom place to rent for only $1,600 around here? The average is more like $1,900 for 2 bedrooms. Unless you want to live somewhere farther out with a 1-plus hour commute each way. When is the city council going to do something about this? Does 57 percent of the county have to move away? Who will take the menial jobs then? The techies from over the hill who keep buying up all the property around here? — ZO

PROTEIN CRUNCH Of the 1,900 edible insects identified by the U.N. crickets are the most commonly consumed in America.

I Want a New Bug Insects may be the future of protein, with crickets leading the way BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE this publication will raise awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life,” states the report, “and will also serve to document the contribution insects already make to diversifying diets and improving food security.” Not only do researchers think that insects were a major dietary part of early human history (and thus perhaps the ultimate Paleo protein), the FAO also estimates that they still form part of traditional diets for as many as 2 billion people worldwide. And even though this might make most Americans bug-eyed with disgust, we eat plenty of the creepy crawlers too—without realizing it. The United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) allows for certain amounts of insects and insect parts to be in our food. For instance, chocolate is allowed

to have up to 60 insect fragments per 100 grams, peanut butter up to 30, and wheat flour up to 75 insect fragments per 50 grams. “The FDA set these action levels because it is economically impractical to grow, harvest, or process raw products that are totally free of non-hazardous, naturally occurring, unavoidable defects,” states their website. It’s impossible to completely remove all the insects from our food, especially without the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides. If you’re still having trouble with the thought, consider that we already love to eat “sea bugs” like lobster, crab and shrimp, which along with insects, are all in the Arthropoda phylum of animals. Although the FAO has identified about 1,900 different varieties of edible insects, crickets are the most

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 1-7, 2017

he Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations estimates that by the year 2050, 9 billion people will call the Earth home—and that current food production will need to almost double in order to meet the nutritional needs of the population. The FAO estimates that around 1 billion people worldwide are currently chronically hungry. When you add in challenges like water shortages, climate change, overfished oceans, dwindling land availability, and increased meat production costs, the prospect of feeding future generations seems increasingly dire. It’s time to get innovative, and one possible solution could be … insects? In 2013, the FAO released a report advocating for their consumption by humans. “Above all, it is our hope that

commonly consumed in America and are often thought of as the “gateway bug.” Many different companies are now offering products like protein powders, flours, energy bars, and even tortilla chips that contain cricket protein. In 2014, the business magazine Fast Company estimated that edible insects were already a $20 million industry in the U.S.—a figure predicted to grow, given their swarm of benefits for both the consumer and environment. Nutritionally, insects are about 70 percent protein by dry weight, which is more than double that of chicken or beef. They are also a great source of fiber, vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium, and even contain significant amounts of healthful omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, insect exoskeletons contain chitin, a prebiotic nutrient that encourages the growth of healthy bacteria in our gut. In terms of impact on the environment, insects far outshine traditional animal protein sources. For one thing, insects are consumed whole, so there is no waste. And although sustainability projections vary especially in a fledgling industry like this one, the farming of edible insects like crickets has the potential to be significantly more sustainable than that of pork, chicken or beef. Some industry estimates are that insects grow about 10 times faster and require 10 times less food than cattle, require hundreds or even thousands of times less water and land to grow, and also emit far fewer greenhouse gases. However, in 2015 researchers at UC Davis published a study that examined cricket protein-to-feed ratios and found mixed results, leading them to conclude that some of the sustainability claims had been exaggerated. They said that the key to future cricket sustainability would depend largely on if farmers were able to find cost-effective ways to feed the orchestras (the name for a group of crickets) that didn’t compete with traditional livestock feed and instead used underutilized organic waste such as processed food waste and other sustainable side streams.

NEWS GREEN SCREENING Santa Cruz’s Draft Parks Master Plan shines light on possible future of recreation

FEBRUARY 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY JACOB PIERCE

Donna Meyers has a vision for Santa Cruz of walkable narrow green spaces that ribbon from one end of the city to another—along the coast, for instance. “I like the idea of East Cliff and West Cliff and the river being linear parks,” says Meyers, who as chair of the Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Commission is preparing for a joint study session with the City Council to look at the new Draft Parks Master Plan 2030. City leaders have already created one linear park along the San Lorenzo River, but the idea of strengthening it and creating new ones along East Cliff and West Cliff drives has been inching forward. Councilmember David Terrazas, who served on the subcommittee to study for the Parks Master Plan, would like to see an official coastal park that stretches from Natural Bridges State Beach to the Santa Cruz Harbor. “The question is: how do we make the most impact? This a tremendous opportunity to make linkages between downtown and the beach area that stretch the entire width and length of the city,” Terrazas says. The master plan lays out a framework for how to meet the city’s recreation needs, and poses some interesting questions, like how to meet the needs of a town with a larger retired population than many other communities of the same size. To that end, Meyers has suggested installing more fitness areas at local parks with easy step-by-step instructions. Another part of accommodating that population, says Parks Director Mauro Garcia, is in having a long list of seasonal recreational activities. He says city staffers will keep a close eye on new trends like pickleball, a racquet and net game played on special courts that’s soaring in popularity. “It’s not as hard on one’s body [as tennis], but it still requires a lot of finesse,” Garcia says, adding that parks officials are also looking at places to add another ADAaccessible walking path, like the Arana Gulch Multi-Use Trail, which opened two years ago. Santa Cruz’s pickleball community— readers will be forgiven for not previously knowing that such a group existed—has also been one of the most vocal groups in the master plan process, as they clamor >16

Raging Gracefully

Santa Cruz WILPF honors Raging Granny Jan Harwood’s 55 years of activism BY MAT WEIR

ooking at Jan Harwood’s silver-and-white-streaked hair, kind eyes and wrinkles (some of them from decades of smiling), an unsuspecting passerby might take the 85-year-old for a typical grandmother type. She is a grandmother, but she’s anything but typical. “I think I’ve been arrested 11 times,” says Harwood, with a hearty laugh. A majority of those arrests were at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where she and others annually protest on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. For more than 50 years, Harwood has been a vocal activist in the fight for nuclear abolition and peace—a history that will be recognized

Sunday, Feb. 5, when the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) celebrates her larger-than-life story, in an event entitled “Hats On to Jan Harwood: A Celebratory Tribute to an Unconventional Activist.” Harwood is also a founding member of the Santa Cruz Raging Grannies, a self-described “gaggle” of women dressed in long skirts and flowery hats, who satirize popular songs to reflect progressive issues, local and nationwide. “We started singing when life was so grim under George W. Bush,” she reminisces. “So we started singing songs with a humor in them to cheer people, and ourselves, up.” The Grannies still perform as

needed, at protests and gatherings, or sometimes on a whim, singing at the farmers market or throughout downtown. The songs pack a powerful message, but not all of them are humorous—such as the Grannie’s somber tune, “Bring ‘Em Home.” “That one is set to the tune of ‘Country Roads,’” Harwood explains with a heavy-hearted sigh. “We sang that one a lot during the Iraq War.” Others know Harwood for her work with the local chapter of WILPF, which is throwing Sunday’s celebration. For the past two decades she has been an active member of the century-old organization, spending the past seven years as the local chapter’s newsletter editor. For a sliding scale of a >14

PLANNING AHEAD

RAGING GRACEFULLY <12

2017

Looking ahead to our “golden years” is nobody’s idea of a great conversation starter. If you are under 40 you may be inclined to stop reading here, but DON”T. Likely you have parents, aunts, older cousins and they need your wisdom about thinking ahead, and as surely as the sun rises in the east, you are aging. (Shocking, I know.) I am finally hearing conversations at open houses about folks who are spry and active in their mid-60s saying “I Know,” with a capital K “that I want to stay in my home ‘til the last day.” And they tell me they are accepting emotionally and cognitively that a house with a caregiver layout is important. At last! They are thinking ahead and want curbless showers, comfort height commodes, easy latches and handles for tired joints, high contrast counters, and an adjacent suite or dwelling for the caregiver. The awareness that we each will march on the continuum to fragile older beings is dawning on us as we see our relatives live well into their 90s! It’s hard to conceive that at 60 you may easily have 30 more years of living. Why not make them comfortable? My friend Julio has a mom who is 106 and going strong! These days I hear that more and more. Here are some tips to think about if you are remodeling: 1. Raise or lower the kitchen sink to allow for possible sitting positions while peeling potatoes, etc. 2. Elevate the refrigerator and have storage underneath so it’s at eye level, with bright interior light. 3. Consider pullout or adjustable shelving to ease strain on the back. 4. Raise the dishwasher so stooping is not necessary. 5. Declutter closets! Fighting with a heavy coat and flying hangers can be a problem.

FEBRUARY 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

6. Install automatic lighting that comes on at dusk.

7. Have bright lights in the closets so folks can leave the house with matching shoes! 8. Get everything off the floor and keep it off. Trip hazards abound in a cluttered house at any age!

Americans plan better for our vacations, our kids’ college, or our wardrobes than we plan for aging. It’s not a dirty word; if my 90-year-old clients are right, it’s a beautiful time, free of burdens, free to say and do whatever you want, free to enjoy birds singing, time to be selfish! Plan now and really enjoy it. If you need help with ideas, I would love to be of assistance. Give me a call!

minimum $15, attendees get a seat at the De Anza Park Clubhouse party, which has sing-a-longs, tribute speeches, and even a comedic roast of the alwayslaughing activist—plus a copy of WILPF’s tribute book to Harwood. “You’ve gotta keep on singing and dancing if you want a revolution,” exclaims longtime WILPF member, local activist and friend of Harwood’s, Patricia Schroeder. “And that’s our Jan! She’s always singing and will even do a two-step for you.” For her part, Harwood says she’s “grateful to have been singled out.” “There are so many people working forever on these important issues, trying to make the world a little better,” she says. Harwood still maintains her blog, grannyjansantacruzblog.com, where she has already posted two songs

about President Donald Trump. And she showed up in full force for the Santa Cruz installment of the Women’s March on Washington. “It was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in Santa Cruz,” she says. Born in 1931, Harwood began her life of activism at the age of 30. At the time, she was living with her thenhusband, a sculptor, along with their three children on an isolated farm in New Jersey. To pass the time, she would read progressive magazines such as The Nation and I.F. Stone Weekly, which regularly featured articles on the growing threat of nuclear annihilation during the Cold War, something that weighed heavily on her conscience as she thought about her growing children. She soon contacted the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and began her own committee chapter. A year later, Harwood went to Washington

D.C. to picket the White House, during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis. “I still tense up when I think about it,” she says with a pained sigh. “The congressmen and senators we talked to in Washington were feeling just as hopeless and scared as we were.” After she and her husband moved to California and later divorced, Harwood decided on a career in social work. In 1969, at the age of 38, Harwood graduated from UC Berkeley with a master’s degree in social welfare and began a 30-year career in mental health care, spending 17 of those years with Santa Clara County and continuing her life of anti-nuclear activism along the way. In 1995 she retired and moved to Santa Cruz the following year. “After retirement I’ve been able to do exactly what I’ve wanted to do,” says Harwood. “And it’s been just marvelous.” >17

NEWS BRIEFS EASY, BUD Gov. Jerry Brown released his $180 billion fiscal 2017 budget last month, identifying a $1.6 billion deficit—the result, he said, of slower than anticipated growth in the California economy. The first deficit since 2012 comes in the aftermath of the state’s historic “yes” vote on Proposition 64, legalizing adult use of recreational cannabis. State agencies that have studied the initiative have reported that future excise taxes could funnel between $1 billion and $1.4 billion annually into state coffers. But before you say “tax bonanza,” it’s important to underscore that the pot tax can’t be used to close a budget gap, unless the legislature revisits it. “The state government would certainly like to do that,” says Hezekiah Allen of the California Growers Association, a cannabis industry group. But they are hampered by the legally binding language in Prop. 64, which

says that no taxes collected on cannabis sales can be directed into the state’s general fund. Moving forward, “the real limiting factor here is going to be how much wiggle room does the legislature have?” Allen says. Even if Brown could close the deficit with pot revenue, the state won’t have its new cannabis tax regime in place until next January, when licensed growers will pay a cultivation tax of $9.25 per ounce of buds and $2.75 per ounce of leaves. Another 15 percent sales tax will be applied to the retail price of all cannabis products, and some localities are cooking up local taxes of their own. One problem for localities with enforcement issues to fund, says Allen, is that Prop. 64 set a higher rate of tax than was even contemplated by the legislature, which will make it difficult for localities to add an additional levy. “There is no room for additional taxes,” Allen says. Those taxes are mainly earmarked for law enforcement

and anti-drug efforts in schools. According to a statement from Brown, state pot taxes can be used for “regulatory costs, youth substance-use programs, environmental clean-up resulting from illegal cannabis growing, programs to reduce driving under the influence of cannabis and other drugs and to reduce negative impacts on public health or safety resulting from the legalization of recreational cannabis.” In the short term, the emergent recreational cannabis industry may actually wind up contributing to a future deficit, as Brown’s budget would send $53 million to regulators to help square up the regulatory regime in the recreational and medical cannabis industries. “Right now, there’s going to be a lot of pain before there is any gain,” says attorney Aaron Herzberg, a partner at CalCann, a California medical cannabis real estate investment firm. But Allen says the $53 million

proposal “is an open question.” He notes that policymakers and the industry “are thinking that we should maybe move a little slower and take an incremental, balanced approach.” Brown’s office has reported that the $1.6 billion budget shortfall this year will be closed via a slowdown on planned outlays for K-12 education and on the elimination of some discretionary spending. As Herzberg observes, most of the cannabis sold in the state is on the black market, and for every additional tax the state adds, it’s more likely that those growers will stay in the shadows and not participate in the licensing process. The more tax-heavy the recreational industry becomes, he says, the more probable it is that recreational users will get a medical card to beat the local or state sales tax. There’s a lot of work to be done, and Herzberg is convinced that $53 million won’t cut it. TOM GOGOLA

MAKING A SPLASH Donna Meyers, chair of the Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Commission, says she would like to see the city establish a linear park along West Cliff Drive—something City Councilmember David Terrazas supports.

GREEN SCREENING <12 for a dedicated facility to call their own. With dozens of tennis courts around the city, pickleballers normally lug their nets over to some tennis facilities at Sergeant Derby Park on the Westside a few days a week that they say were under-utilized. The disagreements between pickleballers and tennis players—like any spat between paddle boarders and surfers—mostly boils down to a limited resource: turf. The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors last November approved a $35,000 contract to retrofit some tennis courts at Brommer Park for pickleball. Terry Long, hardcore pickleball enthusiast, is hoping the city does something similar, perhaps at Derby Park.

“Pickleball is growing. And there are plenty other tennis courts on the Westside,” Long says. “Neary Lagoon has tennis courts, Meder Street has tennis courts. Wrigley’s has tennis courts. UCSC has courts. Santa Cruz High has tennis courts on the weekends.” The 216-page Draft Master Plan highlights a number of possible areas that could use funds, including courts for pickleball and tennis— which still dwarfs pickleball in terms of users, according to survey data included in the plan. It also identifies everything from trash cans and restrooms to community gardens to trails for hikers and mountain bikers, too. Mountain bike lovers have stepped up and been the other vocal group at master plan meetings as they ask the city to consider new bike-only trails, which would have to go in

either Pogonip or DeLaveaga Park. It’s something Terrazas is receptive to, partly because the Emma McCrary Trail at Pogonip has been so successful and partly because the Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz have partnered with the city in maintaining trails and proved entrepreneurial in raising funds. He suggests groups could use MBOSC as a model when looking for facilities. Terrazas, perhaps the council’s most detail-oriented analyst, says overwhelming data in the master plan—the first for city parks in 40 years—will help guide greenspace decisions for years to come. He is personally excited about an idea buried in section three to have park rangers live onsite at community parks, allowing them to serve as hosts and caretakers while staying in workforce housing.

The draft plan calls for more hiking trails and a multi-use playing field, although staffers will have to examine all the possible site options in the future before deciding where any of that could go. After the Feb. 7 evening study session, which starts at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, the plan will go back to the Parks and Recreation Commission for about three more meetings. Then Garcia and parks staff will go to work on environmental documents and try to get the City Council a final version of the plan by the end of the year. Part of the exciting challenge, Meyers says, is forecasting new trends. “No one would have imagined mountain biking 50 years ago,” she says, “and then here it is today.”

That includes joining WILPF—which has a rich history dating back to the Women’s Suffrage Movement—as well as tabling with the Santa Cruz chapter and, of course, penning political parody songs. A few years into the President Bush administration, Harwood joined other WILPF members in founding the Santa Cruz chapter of the Raging Grannies, which has Canadian origins dating back to the 1980s. To date, the Santa Cruz Raging Grannies have sung more than 500 politically charged, satirized songs, with Harwood as the main lyricist. “It turns out I’m pretty good at writing them!” she laughs. “And it’s so much fun to go out and educate with our songs while bringing humor into gloomy subjects.” Her active lifestyle and constant involvement led Harwood to write a novel in 2011, for her 80th birthday, of fictionalized mysteries involving the Raging Grannies, titled Dangerous Women: A Raging Granny Mystery with an accompanying CD of a handful of the Grannies songs. Three years later, she released the sequel, An Unconventional Murder: A Raging Granny Mystery. But even with all of the important issues of today’s world, such as global warming, facing humanity, Harwood still sees nuclear annihilation as the greatest hazard. “The nearest [issue] to my heart is still getting rid of these damned nuclear weapons,” she says, emphatically. “They could wipe us out in a half an hour and then there’s no need to worry about the other stuff.” Even though the Cold War has ended and there hasn’t been a major threat of nuclear war in years, Harwood warns the peril is still very real. During President Barack Obama’s administration, he announced $1 trillion in new spending to modernize and increase America’s nuclear arsenal over the next three decades. “There’s a lot of old, rusting missiles around, with new ones being built,” she says. “And anyone of them can have an accident at anytime.”

STATE of MIND

BY KARA GUZMAN

A NEW WORLD Like much of the state and nation, Santa Cruz County has had a shortage of psychiatrists for years. In the past, residents who didn’t qualify for Medi-Cal couldn’t attend the county’s publicly funded mental health system, and had to wait six to 12 months to see one of the handful of local private-practice psychiatrists. And because of an archaic insurance system which treats mental illnesses differently than other health care, psychiatric care hasn’t been covered, forcing most residents with private insurance to pay out of pocket. But now, the traditional model has flipped upside-down. Instead of relying on a handful of local psychiatrists to serve the majority of the population, the lion’s share of mental health care is now administered by dozens of primary care doctors, advised by a handful of psychiatrists. Primary care doctors are treating illnesses like depression and prescribing psychiatric medications, and if they have questions, or a case is more severe, they can refer patients to therapists, psychiatric nurses, groups or a psychiatrist.

A NEW MODEL FOR TREATING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES HAS TRANSFORMED HEALTH CARE LOCALLY. BUT UNDER TRUMP’S PLAN TO DISMANTLE THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, SANTA CRUZ COUNTY RESIDENTS COULD LOSE IT ALL

ugh McCormick was a standout UC San Diego student in 2001 when he first heard the voice in his head, and his mental collapse began. His started thinking he controlled the stock market. He thought the world revolved around him, and he was responsible for any disasters. Then 9/11 happened. It pushed him over the edge. He drove to a Mexican desert, and talked to the wind and the birds for two weeks. McCormick returned to Santa Cruz, his hometown, and was hospitalized. In the next four years, he was hospitalized 13 times, and shuffled between nearly every mental health center in Santa Cruz. He became a ward of the state. He cycled through countless psychiatrists and therapists. He gained 150 pounds. He was medicated and went to group therapy. That was the extent of his treatment, he says. “In all the facilities I was in, there was no hope. There was no mention of recovery. Recovery was not even an option,” says McCormick. “You manage your symptoms.” Things changed when he got Section 8 housing and was able to live independently. He discovered the Santa Cruz chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), an advocacy and education group, where he still volunteers, 10 years later. Now he’s a success story—he has a car, an apartment, a girlfriend, and a job. He’s studying journalism at Cabrillo College, and is transferring to UCSC. For the past decade, he’s received psychiatric care from Santa Cruz County’s Health Services Agency, a publicly funded mental health program for low-income people with Medi-Cal. His care at the county system has greatly improved in the past two years, he says. In the past, he says, the county had a constant turnover of psychiatrists. Now it seems doctors are sticking around; for the first time, he’s had the same psychiatrist for 18 months, he says. “It’s a far cry from what it’s been. It was ridiculous,” says McCormick. “For a while, every three months I’d get a new psychiatrist, and every other month my psychiatrist would cancel.” McCormick isn’t alone. Change is sweeping across the county’s public and private mental health sectors, and now, reliable mental health care is accessible to more locals than ever before.

STATE OF MIND <19 This new “integrated mental health” model has rolled out in the last three years in primary care clinics across the county: at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation clinics in Santa Cruz, Aptos and Watsonville; the Santa Cruz Women’s Health Center; Santa Cruz’s East Cliff Family Health Center; the three new Kaiser Permanente offices in Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley and Watsonville; Planned Parenthood; Watsonville’s Salud Para La Gente and the county Health Services Agency’s primary care offices. But even as unprecedented progress has been made in a short time, the Trump administration’s plan to cripple, if not outright eradicate the Affordable Care Act, means thousands may be denied access to mental health care locally.

Dr. Bruce Block, a pediatrician, helped build the new pilot program at Santa Cruz County’s Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) clinics. Block and his team were tasked with designing a financially selfsustaining system that would provide mental health services to all 950,000 patients in the PAMF system, from Burlingame to Watsonville. A pilot program launched in 2015 in Santa Cruz County, and has served 16,000 locals so far. Around 10 therapists and psychiatric nurses were added to four local primary care clinics, so referrals could be made on the spot. And for the first time in its 64-year history in Santa Cruz, two psychiatrists were hired by the foundation to handle severe cases and offer guidance to the 76 primary care doctors. Something remarkable happened as a result—private insurance companies changed their policies, and covered mental health care performed at PAMF primary care clinics. Medi-Cal and MediCare enrollees who are already primary care patients were also able to access mental health care at the PAMF clinics. They make up nearly half of mental health patients seen thus far.

“Honestly, if you want to look really big picture, the shift that’s happened over the last three or four years—some of this is because of Obamacare. Some of this is because people are becoming enlightened, maybe,” says Block. “It’s that people recognize that mental health care is the same as what’s going on in other parts of your body. There’s no really good reason for differentiating between your mental health care. And that, in fact, is behind a lot of the programs developing like ours: the primary place where you should be getting your mental health care is with your primary care doctor.” The system will spread to other PAMF clinics this year. It still has gaps, says Block. It’s designed for people with shortterm mental health needs that can be addressed in less than a dozen visits. If someone needs long-term psychiatric care, they’re better served elsewhere. People in crisis or with substance abuse disorders would also fall through the cracks, he says. But it’s a major step. Before, when primary care doctors saw depressed patients, they’d often prescribe antidepressants they weren’t that familiar with, and felt like that was the best they could do, Block says. “That happened a lot, where we were just clearly inadequate, and the best we could do is say, ‘Contact your insurance company and see what services are available,’” Block says. “For some people, particularly low-income or Medi-Cal, we would try to refer them to the county, and the county’s resources were woefully inadequate for a long, long time. “One of the blessings of the last few years [is that] at the exact same time we have done this, multiple other organizations and agencies have been doing the exact same thing, and that’s been a benefit to all of us.”

More improvements are coming for the county’s mental health division. It recently received a $2.5 million grant from the Central California Alliance for Health to build an outpatient mental health center on Freedom Boulevard in Watsonville. Riera’s team is also proposing to expand its supported housing program from 42 to 55 beds, for people with mental illnesses who need in-home support. The proposal includes health monitoring devices, which would relay a patient’s vital signs to a nurse and alert health care teams to any abnormalities. But perhaps the most significant change—because it’s part of the turning tide that’s sweeping the region—is the integrated mental health program that the county has ramped up at its primary care clinic, on Emeline Street in Santa Cruz, since 2014. Now the county’s integrated mental health program has 15 new full-time mental health workers, including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, who receive 1,000 mental health visits a month. That allows the county’s health department to serve mild and moderate mental health cases, in addition to the severe cases that it traditionally handles. “If a [primary care] physician has a patient in their exam room and they want a consultation [from a psychiatrist], those patients don’t have to wait,” says Riera. “We will see them immediately with the physician. So we have the capacity of bringing the psychiatrist and the therapist into the exam room with the patient and the physician, and to work out a plan with them. We call

health provider, which serves mostly low-income Medi-Cal patients. Since arriving in Santa Cruz in 2013 from New Hampshire, where he headed the state’s mental health program, he’s driven a complete overhaul of Santa Cruz County’s services. The program is more visible in the community, with new initiatives such as the mobile emergency response team, which sends mental health workers to city parks, schools, and sometimes people’s homes, to respond to crisis calls. “We have much less reliance on having people come in to see us, and more of an approach where we’re out in the community to see them,” says Riera. The long list of improvements under Riera’s tenure includes adding mental health workers to staff the sheriff’s office and Santa Cruz’s and Watsonville’s police departments. Often, police are the first responders to mental health crises, and a trained clinician is equipped to handle these situations. Also, in April the county system switched from paper to electronic patient records, a big improvement, says Riera. Now patients with complex issues can receive coordinated care from multiple doctors and clinicians, because a shared common health record is used. In 2013, the county opened its Crisis Stabilization Program on Soquel Avenue, which evaluates people who are typically brought in by police for mental health services. Before it opened, police would bring people in mental health crises to Dominican Hospital’s emergency room, which had a longer wait and wasn’t set up to manage these crises.

STATE OF MIND

“Part of the [mental health] crisis in Santa Cruz, in my opinion as a professional, has been that there has not been a lot of emphasis in growing our workforce and having viable positions for licensed clinical social workers.” - HOLLY HUGHES, DIRECTOR OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH FOR THE SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS <20 it a warm hand-off. So we can see them same day, same time.” Primary care doctors can now refer patients to psychiatrists, and vice versa, says Riera. “So you have that kind of seamless system for our patients, which I think is really important,” says Riera. “We don’t have to [send them elsewhere]. We can keep them within the system and they can also keep their same provider as well. We can add or subtract services, depending on the person’s need.”

THE TRUMP EFFECT More Santa Cruz County residents have access to mental health services than ever before, partly due to an improved system, but largely because more residents have health insurance. The Affordable Care Act expanded Medi-Cal to lowincome people, beyond just disabled people, and now 70,000 Santa Cruz County residents receive Medi-Cal. That’s one-quarter of the county’s population. How that will change under Donald Trump’s presidency is yet to be determined, with Trump’s promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Since Trump’s win, Santa Cruz doctor Larry deGhetaldi has been quietly meeting with Santa Cruz County Supervisors and others to discuss the local repercussions of a possible repeal of the Affordable

Care Act. DeGhetaldi, who is president of the PAMF’s Santa Cruz division, says the outlook is “bleak” and the community must respond collaboratively. More than 35,000 Santa Cruz County residents risk losing their health insurance if the Affordable Care Act is repealed, says deGhetaldi. That includes residents with Covered California insurance, some with Medi-Cal or MediCare, undocumented children, low-income seniors and people with disabilities who have both MediCare and Medi-Cal. “This is going to be a tough struggle. It’s not going to happen overnight, but clearly we have to watch,” says deGhetaldi. “The greatest concern here is medical access for the 70,000 patients [in Santa Cruz County who are insured by Medi-Cal], which of those patients will lose access to healthcare.” “Santa Clara and Monterey counties might weather this better than our county,” he added in an email. “We lack a county hospital to backfill the [people who would lose their insurance]. People will suffer.” Holly Hughes, director of behavioral health for the Santa Cruz Community Health Centers, is also worried. Her clinics, the Santa Cruz Women’s Health Center and the East Cliff Family Health Center, serve 11,000 low-income patients,

STATE OF MIND “I don’t think a lot of people understand that this is happening,” says Hughes. “And part of the [mental health] crisis in Santa Cruz, in my opinion as a professional, has been that there has not been a lot of emphasis in growing our workforce and having viable positions for licensed clinical social workers. Because if you look at San Francisco or San Jose or Los Angeles or San Diego, there are far more licensed clinical social worker positions.” If the Affordable Care Act is repealed as promised under the Trump administration, those newly insured Medi-Cal residents stand to lose not only their coverage, but their access to the county’s new and improved mental health system, says Hughes. “There’s a blind spot around the people who were really, really suffering and struggling, who did impact all of us when it comes to cost,” says Hughes. “So it’s not just my values that say that people deserve access to health care, it’s also the even more conservativelyminded folks who care about cost. “This was a really big win in terms of that—saving costs. People aren’t going to the ER for their [mental health] needs. They’re now being better served in the primary care setting.” Riera says that without the Affordable Care Act, the county mental health division will be unable to care for the residents who lose Medi-Cal coverage. The way the funding model works now, the federal government covers 98 percent of the costs to care for the people who are newly-insured by Medi-Cal, those who are lowincome, with mild or moderate illnesses. The county only covers 2 percent of the cost. “If the Affordable Care Act is repealed, unless people become eligible for Medi-Cal, they’ll lose their insurance completely,” says Riera. “And it doesn’t change the fact that they have significant health issues or mental health issues. But they’re likely not to be receiving services anymore because the county doesn’t have funding to serve [them].”

who are usually on Medi-Cal or are uninsured. These clinics, like Planned Parenthood and Watsonville’s Salud Para La Gente, receive federal reimbursements for each visit. Hughes says that when the Affordable Care Act floodgates opened in 2014, adding 21,000 Santa Cruz County residents to Medi-Cal that year, her clinics changed their models to ensure that these new patients could access mental health care. The first change was increasing the number of mental health providers within the primary care clinics, from less than one full-time mental health provider, to a ratio of one mental health provider for every two primary care doctors. These include therapists and social workers, to treat problems such as unstable housing or social isolation. “All of those problem areas, now there will be a direct intervention, not from a medical provider, but from someone for whom that is their specialty, in real time,” Hughes says. “We step into the exam room and we address those problems right then and there.” Santa Cruz Community Health Centers also hired its first psychiatrist last year, who advises the staff of primary care doctors. The key to the model’s success is the way that community health clinics are funded—for every visit, regardless of whether the patient sees a doctor, a therapist or a social worker, the clinic is reimbursed the same amount. “The behavioral health providers cover their salaries in two shifts per week, and so all the rest is revenue,” says Hughes. “[Social workers] are contributing more revenue to the centers than the medical providers are.” That means that adding more mental health providers not only helps fill a gap in the community, but also creates a financially solvent model. Hughes, who sees patients as a licensed clinical social worker in addition to her director role, says her caseload has quadrupled since 2012, and the same goes for the other mental health providers at her clinics.

Maren Sinclair Hurn says she is often caught up in thinking too much. “Making things gets me out of strictly thinking and more aware of being alive. For me, this is often about creating sculpture and making and presenting food. In these activities, I pay more attention to my senses of touch, sight, and whole bodily response (what feels right). Colors, patterns, value, texture, positive/negative space are noticed, as well as in cooking, the senses of smell and taste. Recently in my art making, I have been creating mobiles. The mobiles are made from ceramic pod shapes suspended from heavy copper wire that I have forged and bent. The pods are open to your interpretation (stylized seed pods, abstracted humans, spirit containers, constellation units?). The swivel mount allows the whole sculpture to gently move. I also work in porcelain, a high-fired ceramic with a bright, white, smooth surface. Before firing, it is rolled very thin and torn into interesting shapes.”

If you know the difference between Edith Wharton and Dan Brown, you’ll find plenty to laugh about. And even if you don’t, Kristen Brandt’s skillful direction and her adroit cast will keep you happily engaged. <24 reading the club’s chosen books. Newest member of the club is Lily (lively Tristan Cunningham), another columnist at the paper. Newly arrived in town, Lily is AfricanAmerican, and a little more hip than the others (she reads ebooks), so Ana hopes she will make their reading selections more diverse. (The joke’s on Ana when Lily selects Twilight.) Rounding out the club is Jen (Sierra Jolene, in a sweet, wistful performance), a shy bookworm type with a surprisingly scandalous past who’s never gotten over her childhood crush on Heathcliff. Tensions mount when Jen impulsively invites a neighbor she sees at the laundromat to a club meeting—even though Ana is livid that he hasn’t been properly “vetted.” Alex (Stephen Muterspaugh), a professor of comparative literature who’s fallen out of love with books and reading, plays devil’s advocate to Ana’s ideals: feeling out of touch with popular culture, he selects The Da Vinci Code. The faux-video format is achieved with doc-style captions flashed above the stage, which also identify various non-club member interviewees (librarian; literary agent; stock manager at WAL-MART) who provide occasional commentary. As clubbers talk about “popular” vs. “quality,” and reach their various dramatic crises, the play is riddled with visual gags— from a rapt Jen mouthing all the words by heart when a juicy passage is read aloud, to the bananas served as snacks when they read Rob’s pick, The Return of Tarzan, to the way everyone preens for the camera. All tech credits are up to the usual high JTC standard. This show is bound to be a bestseller, so get in line now. The Jewel Theatre Production of ‘The Book Club Play’ will play through Feb. 19 at The Colligan Theater at The Tannery. Call 427-7506 or visit jeweltheatre.net.

to read, meet to discuss their books over wine and nibblies, while their collective life begins to imitate the art of the stories they read: secrets are revealed, passions ignite, battle lines are drawn, relationships take unexpected turns. As one character observes, “Book Club is like Lord of the Flies with wine and dip!” This is one of the many smart and funny literary allusions in Zacarias’ text, many of whose jokes depend on our basic literary knowledge. But don’t worry, you don’t need to have actually read any of the books under discussion, and there won’t be a quiz. Basically, if you know the difference between Edith Wharton and Dan Brown, you’ll find plenty to laugh about in The Book Club Play. And even if you don’t, Kristen Brandt’s skillful direction and her adroit cast will keep you happily engaged. To speed things along, Zacarias uses the device of an (unseen) video camera recording the book club meetings for a documentary film. Its camera eye is apparently located smack in the middle of the “fourth wall” (i.e.: the audience), giving each character a chance to introduce herself (or himself) to us. The club founder is Ana (a very funny Maryssa Wanlass), who writes a weekly column for the local paper. She’s a gracious hostess, a literary snob (she pouts when the club chooses to read Twilight), and a territorial martinet when it comes to book club “rules.” Co-founder of the club is Will (Geoff Fiorito), Ana’s ex-fiancé, who’s remained close to Ana, and her husband, Rob (Brent Schindele)—whom Will considers his best bud. Will is on board with Ana’s literary pretensions—as the play begins, they’re meeting to discuss his recent choice, Moby Dick—while genial ex-college jock Rob is famous for never actually

HE DON’T NEED TO WALK AROUND IN CIRCLES With his Soul Coughing years long behind him, Mike Doughty brings his solo band to the Crepe Place on Friday, Feb. 3.

FEBRUARY 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Out of Hand

Former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty’s solo career is a wild blend BY CAT JOHNSON

n 2015, Mike Doughty moved from New York City to Memphis, Tennessee. The singersongwriter had been in New York for more than 25 years, and says he thought that, at some point in his life, he “would like to not live there.” The former frontman for ’90s altrock band Soul Coughing, Doughty considered several cities—including Austin, Nashville, Chattanooga and Dallas—but it was Memphis that stole his heart. “I’d been touring for a long-ass time, and had never really seen

Memphis, other than a club or two on Beale Street,” he says. “I was just floored by it.” Doughty describes his new stomping ground as a “very vibey, mystical town—a Tom Waits kind of town.” He figures his unconscious has “profited mightily from its energies,” and likes that some of the musicians who played on classic Al Green and Stax records are still there. Doughty wrote his latest solo album—his ninth—after his move to Memphis. On The Heart Watches While the Brain Burns, Doughty blends

pop and rock with electronic beats, African rhythms, and even a reggaeinspired track. At the core of the album is Doughty’s world-wearyyet-danceable songwriting style that stretches back to Soul Coughing—a band that struggled with internal drama and eventually imploded in 2000 as band members feuded with Doughty about songwriting and production credits. Doughty described Soul Coughing to The Village Voice as a “weird universe—sort of a Dante’s Inferno, where I was the devil’s asshole, and there was the

band, the management, the record company, and everybody hated me.” In 2012, Doughty wrote a memoir titled Book of Drugs, filled with stories from that time. In it, he writes about being bipolar, his struggles with addiction and eventual recovery, the dysfunctional band dynamics, and his early life. The book caught attention for Doughty’s acerbic take on his former bandmates; he says he was just telling it how it was. “I just had a bunch of really good stories, basically,” he says. “Just stuff I would tell people over dinner. I’m not trying to tell any kind of insightful narrative about what my life’s been about, I just think there are some anecdotes that are funny and interesting.” Doughty says he still relates to songs from the Soul Coughing days, and at live shows he “hits certain nostalgia points” to make the audience happy. “But life is too short to play things you’re not enjoying playing,” he says. Despite the drama surrounding Soul Coughing, Doughty has die-hard fans who’ve supported him through all of his ups and downs. He’s crowdfunded several albums, including 2014’s Stellar Motel, and sees the new model as a “big old conceptual art piece people participate in.” The downside, he says, is “going to people begging for money.” “You can’t always be coming up, shaking a tin can, asking for alms,” he says. The Doughty faithful don’t seem to mind. They continue to support his crowdfunding campaigns and show up to his gigs, where Doughty leads his new band with hand gestures he describes as “kind of like James Brown meets John Zorn.” He uses these signals to change how and what the other musicians are playing. This way, each performance is different depending on the venue and the mood of the audience, band and Doughty. “It’s getting remixed every night, and you can see it,” he says. “I like to keep everybody a little bit loose. This is just an extension of that.” Mike Doughty will perform at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 3 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $20. 429-6994.

‘CAN YOU DIG THIS?’ SCREENING Ron Finley was sick of seeing inordinately high rates of Type 2 diabetes, childhood obesity and high blood pressure in his community of South Central Los Angeles. So in 2010, he started planting vegetables in the parkway next to his house, offering the produce to his neighbors for free. He was quickly faced with city citations for gardening without a permit and created a petition to fight for the right to grow food in his neighborhood. Finley won. Now, the self-proclaimed “gangsta gardener” continues to work for urban gardens as community hubs for nutritional learning. His journey is featured in the film Can You Dig This?.

LOCAL BAND DOS OSOS

The five members of Dos Osos are involved in a variety of other local bands, including Ancestree, the Redlight District, Dan Juan, and the Post Street Rhythm Peddlers, to name a few. If you recognize any of those names, you’ll appreciate the unique blend of genres the members bring to the table: reggae, blues, rock, country, swing. In Dos Osos, all of that somehow combines into gritty funk, with an emphasis on their groovy rhythm section.

FEBRUARY 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The name was bestowed upon them at an early Shanty Shack Brewing beerpairing two years ago. At that time, the group existed solely as a jazz-guitar duo of founders Tyler Larson and Ravi Lamb. The pair was nameless, and asked the tipsy audience to submit ideas. Through regular gigging at house shows, Dos Osos grew and eventually evolved into its current lineup last summer.

“Our style of music is not conducive to minimalism. We needed to fill out our lineup, to lay the groundwork for solos,” says lead vocalist Larson. And with each song veering at some point into a dynamic jam, every member gets plenty of solo time onstage. Larson and Lamb are both lead guitarists in their side projects, so they switch off on bass and guitar, joined by Joe Coberly on drums, Dave Faulkner on organ and keys, and Cole Colon on tenor sax. Dos Osos has learned to not set unrealistic expectations on each others’ time and commitment level. “The whole project was never forced to begin with; all the first dozen times we played publicly together, we were just having a blast,” says Lamb. KATIE SMALL 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, Crow’s Nest, 2218 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $5/door. 476-4560.

WEDNESDAY 2/1 INDIE-POP

KENDRA MCKINLEY A skilled songwriter and vocalist with a talent for sharing rich visuals through her lyrics, Kendra McKinley is a rising star of the Bay Area music scene. She pulls from a range of influences, from jazz vocals, chamber music and bossa nova to indie-rock and mainstream pop. Balancing catchy melodies with a unique delivery, McKinley—who graduated from UCSC—weaves her voice in and around her songs rather than simply bobbing along the top of them. CAT JOHNSON INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

INDIE ROCK

ALO Local to the Bay Area, ALO (short for Animal Liberation Orchestra) was initially founded after a failed middle school talent show. The lineup features bass, guitar, keys, accordion, ukulele, drums and vocals, for a smooth and laid-back blend of poppy indie rock. The band’s new Love Songs

EP dropped Jan. 27, just in time for its annual “Tour d’Amour”—this year marks the 11th iteration. It kicks off at Moe’s, with a double set by ALO and no opener. From there, the band continues on through the West Coast, supported by the Brothers Comatose, Rabbit Wilde, Moon Hooch and Twiddle. KATIE SMALL INFO: 9 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 479-1854.

ROCK

BILL CALLAHAN While recording under the band name Smog, Bill Callahan developed a reputation for writing somewhat trance-inducing, slow, simple tunes that wrap listeners and all their woes up in a warm blanket of commiseration. Now playing under his own name, the baritone-voiced Callahan—whose music bridges Americana, indie-rock, dark humor and hallucinatory poetry— furthers his unique style of free-form songwriting and storytelling. One of the underexposed gems of the rock landscape, Callahan is one of those artists who require repeat listens in a quiet room to appreciate fully. CJ INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $22/adv, $25/door. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 2/3 ROCK

DAVID LINDLEY In 2005, Acoustic Guitar magazine ran a cover story on David Lindley. The writer referred to him as a “maxi-instrumentalist,” as opposed to the “multi-instrumentalist” term normally applied to diverse, eclectic players like Lindley. The distinction is important. Lindley employs the use of just about every string instrument on the planet. He makes good use of all of these oddball instruments with a range of styles which include folk, blues, rock, and world music. If there’s any doubt of his talent, folks only need check out his session work with such vastly different artists as Curtis Mayfield, Dolly Parton and Warren Zevon. AARON CARNES INFO: 7:30 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320 Cedar St. #2, Santa Cruz. $25/gen, $40/ gold. 427-2227.

Long Island duo Lemon Twigs takes what is a tad bit over-the-top about the likes of Queen, Supertramp, Wings, and Billy Joel and spins it into pop gold. The group is the brainchild of teen brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario, who hail from Hicksville, New York. Their crazy retro hairdos and outfits might seem a bit contrived, but all you need to do is give their record a listen to know their music is as heartfelt as it is outrageous. AC

MARTY GRIMES Berkeley rapper Marty Grimes got a lot of attention last year as opener for G-Eazy on his U.S. tour.

MONDAY 2/6 JAZZ

BRANFORD MARSALIS & KURT ELLING What happens when one of jazz’s most commanding male vocalists joins forces with one of the most formidable quartets? Judging from Kurt Elling’s recent album with Branford Marsalis, Upward Spiral, the collaboration takes them both into gorgeous new musical realms. Whether interpreting standards like “Blue Gardenia,” Oscar Brown Jr.’s “Long As You’re Living” or Fred Hersch’s “West Virginia Rose,” they make taut, dramatic and emotionally expansive music. Featuring pianist Joey Calderazzo and bassist Eric Revis, two masters who have recorded extensively as leaders, and the brilliant 25-year-old drummer Justin Faulkner, the rhythm section plays as tough and tender as any on the scene. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 and 9 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $60/adv, $65/door. 427-2227.

neering woman, a talented singer and DJ, a humanitarian and more. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Carol got an early introduction to the genre, accompanying her father, a Radio Jamaica Rediffusion DJ, to the studio of legendary producer, Clement Coxsone Dodd. Her own hit songs include “Call Me Sister Carol” and “Cinderella.” When she was a teen, Carol moved from Kingston to Brooklyn, where she continued her rise as a reggae ambassador. On Saturday, she makes her first trip to Santa Cruz in five years. Sharing the bill with Sister Carol is vocalist and DJ Ranking Joe. CJ

In 2010, singer Pamela Rose launched “Wild Women of Song,” a multi-media show celebrating the lives and music of the women songwriters of the Tin Pan Alley era. The show toured nationally for six years. Now Rose is back with “Blues is a Woman,” a “theatrical concert” celebrating women blues artists. Paying tribute to a rich lineage from Ma Rainey to Bonnie Raitt, “Blues is a Woman” features stories, rare film footage and music from West Coast musicians Tammy Hall on piano, Ruth Davies on bass, Pat Wilder on guitar, Daria Johnson on drums and vocals, and Kristen Strom on saxophone.

FILM

STRANGER ON A TRAIN Adriana Ugarte plays the younger incarnation of the title character in ‘Julieta.’

Living Color FEBRUARY 1-7, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Almodóvar paints his Alice Munro-derived portrait of ‘Julieta’ in a bold, sweeping palette BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

iving a long life means dwelling on a stage with numerous trapdoors. Players vanish or reappear, as part of some grand design that becomes all the more baffling as time passes. Three stories by the Nobel laureate Alice Munro, from her 2004 collection Runaway, were the source for Pedro Almodóvar’s latest film, the serious but never somber Julieta. Here the Spanish master presents a “tearless melodrama,” in which a woman copes with the inexplicable vanishing of her daughter, Antía. Having no explanation for the rift, Julieta corrodes inside, living with the guilt of whatever it was that she did to cause her daughter to leave her. The loss essentially changes her into two separate people. The

“before” picture is Julieta as a perky, substitute classics teacher (Adriana Ugarte) with one of those dandelion-like haircuts that came around when punk rock went uptown. (The hairstyle helps, but we can also guess at the date. Julieta’s students, reaching for someone to compare to the beauty of Ulysses’ Calypso, pick Kim Basinger. One recalls the actress’ turn as Vicki Vale in 1989’s Batman.) The older, solitary Julieta of today (played by Emma Suàrez) shows the cracks of age. Julieta is about to leave her home in Madrid, when she gets the news that an old friend has seen Antía with three children of her own, somewhere on the shore of Italy’s Lake Como. With grace and sureness, Almodóvar flashes back through Julieta’s history, stopping long enough

to show us the tryst she had with a stranger on a train—Antía’s father. The stranger, Xoan (Daniel Grao), has a sad story; he’s a fisherman whose wife is in a multi-year coma. When Julieta learns she’s pregnant with Antía, she tracks Xoan down. At his house, he deals with his rudely possessive housekeeper Marian, played by Almodóvar regular Rossy de Palma. De Palma, who has as arrogant a nose as an actress ever looked down, seems to be honoring the memory of mean Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca. Marian’s lack of discretion, and her serious conservatism toward anyone who isn’t Xoan, is key to how Julieta loses the man in her life, and her daughter as well. Julieta’s color is phenomenal. The richness of this film shows how

superficial the saturated primary colors were in the neo-musical La La Land, as affectless as the plastic brightness of a children’s book. Julieta’s opening shot of deep crimson satin folds suggests perfect rose petals, or what people meant when they used to say “the cockles of the heart.” The entire family of red gleams, from wine, to magenta, to scarlets so rich they’re almost black. Jean-Claude Larrieu’s photography is hypnotic, even in ordinary transitional shots: a tiny red car gleaming like a gem in an aerial shot of mountain roads. Instead of Munro’s native Huron County, Ontario, Almodóvar shoots in coastal Galicia; Xoan’s seaside house looks out at the Rio Ferrol Estuary, a landscape strongly resembling Point Reyes. It may be that Almodóvar had in mind a mainstream hit, the recreation of what the studios in California did so well 60 years ago. He was originally thinking of making this in English, in Vancouver with Meryl Streep. Canada is the place where melodrama went to retire, a home for the depraved expressionist melos of Guy Maddin and Atom Egoyan’s superficially calm and emotionally devastating stories of sundered families. It’s hard to guess how this director’s taste for dramatic flamboyance would have run up against Streep’s precision. Over the course of a four-decade career, Almodóvar gave us numerous screwball comedies as well as ridiculously good horror (The Skin I Live In). But the extremes in Julieta are well within the bounds of the elegant Hollywood melodrama, outside of that zone of breakdowns or tears—the best of these women’s pictures had but one tear, usually. That restraint is what makes Julieta so well-turned, such a balance of smooth women and jagged feelings. That’s what makes it so absorbing, with its imagery of ethereal lost love, in the jigsaw puzzle of a torn photograph, or soft red lips kissing a still tender, freshly tattooed heart on a man’s shoulder. JULIETA Written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar. Based on stories from ‘Runaway’ by Alice Munro. Starring Adriana Ugarte, Emma Suàrez and Rossy de Palma. Rated R. 99 min.

FOOD & DRINK it’s almost impossible to have lunch here and not order it.

Enchanting chanterelles at Ristorante Avanti, and a wine to take the chill off BY CHRISTINA WATERS

he preferred Westside lunch spot where I meet Rita for serious conversational catchup, Ristorante Avanti, has always satisfied. But lately it seems to be gaining some newly delicious ground in terms of both seasonal specials and popular standards. Over the past two months, I’ve found myself leaving one of the cozy booths lining the main dining room much happier than when I arrived. Lately, the reason involves fresh wild mushrooms, something of a

specialty of the house for lo these many years. It always seems that Avanti owner and host Paul Geise is the first on his block to offer the mycofruit of the rainy season translated into any number of outstanding preparations. Last week, we inhaled a polenta torta laced with fat candy cap mushrooms and another order of plump scallops with chanterelle-laced risotto. Oh god, these were deeply satisfying dishes, and even more so given the gray rainy weather. Let me return to those scallops for a minute:

on the plate were fat, glistening sea scallops sauteed and sauced with a very light pomegranate glaze. Nestling nearby was a thick cloud of creamy arborio rice dense with chewy bits of chanterelle. A beautiful mini-salad distinguished by frisée and shaved fennel added fresh sparkle as well as texture contrast. A dreamy dish. Several weeks back, Rita chose her trusty confit of Liberty duck with creamy polenta and sauteed veggies ($15), and I have to admit that this duck is so earthy and compelling that

Need an excuse to add red wine to your dinner? How about cold weather? Now think a plate of pasta with meatballs, or a thin-cut pork chop and yam. Add a glass of Claret from the cleverer-thanthou house of Bonny Doon Vineyard and the entire meal will come together. I like A Proper Claret 2014 for many reasons. The $15 pricetag is one of them. The skillfully crafted blend of Bordeaux grapes, long on Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, amplified by Tannat, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and even a splash of Syrah, creates a pleasing and balanced flavor synergy. I found a pink peppercorn nose that plunged playfully into a confident, but not elite, glide of licorice and cassis. An amiable wine, and a drinkable revival of the very old concept of French wine made for English tastes. The flavors are ripe but not flabby, and essentially it’s made for drinking, not thinking about. On a rainy evening, that’s all good. Thank you, Randall Grahm (again), for a proper Claret that can be found almost anywhere. Merci!

Tyrolean Inn

Traditional German fare with plenty of Bavarian flair BY LILY STOICHEFF

eople sometimes ask me what my favorite restaurants in Santa Cruz are, and while there are many, I always include Tyrolean Inn in Ben Lomond on my list. It’s not just because the Swiss chalet tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains serves up robust Bavarian fare in generous quantities, or because of the excellence of their draft list of traditional German bocks, pilsners and lagers, or that getting there up beautiful Highway 9 feels like a mini-adventure. It’s all of these things—and the cuckoo clocks. The cozy cabin is surrounded by conifers, and inside, the walls are covered with German knick-knacks. Steins are everywhere—hanging from the ceiling, stacked behind the bar and displayed in glass cases. The dining room boasts not one but two fireplaces and a wall of vintage cuckoo clocks. Traditional German folk music (and some covers—my friend’s ears caught an accordionfilled version of “Macarena”) completes the fantasy that you’ve just stopped in after a long day of mountaineering in the Alps. It might be on the kitschy side, but it’s so utterly charming and welcoming it’s

hard to wipe the grin off my face. On my most recent visit, my friend and I started with a half liter of caramel-y, biscuit-y doppelbock and a crisp glass of German Riesling as we settled into the umlautsprinkled menu, giggling at our terrible pronunciations of our many dinner choices. Among several preparations of schnitzel there’s a variety of sausages, beef roasts, pork shank, cutlets and chops, smoked trout and pickled herring. Accompaniments abound in the form of spätzle, bread dumplings, potatoes mashed or boiled, salad with dillspiked dressing, sweet-and-sour red cabbage spiced with clove and, of course, sauerkraut. I usually have a hard time committing, and wind up ordering one of their mixed plates, where I can sample a combination of hearty delicacies. The portions are large enough to sufficiently line the belly of an Oktoberfest reveler, but no matter how full to bursting I might feel, I always end each meal as I imagine I would were I actually in Deutschland—with a slice of apfelstrudel, before rolling myself back down the mountain to California.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WINEMAKERS!

t’s not too early to start thinking about Valentine’s Day, and most importantly, which special wine you’re going to share with your sweetie. If you’re lusting after some downright sexy wines for the most passionate day of the year, then head to Poetic Cellars—not just because their wines are delightful, but because every bottle comes with a romantic poem on the back label, and all of them are written by Joseph Naegele, who runs the winery. Situated on 33 beautiful redwood-studded acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, with views of the Pacific Ocean, Poetic Cellars is a romantic place to visit, where Naegele promises that “every bottle offers a sensuous pleasure for the mind, body and soul.” Poetic Cellars’ Mirage 2010 (Livermore Valley, $22) is a soft-pink Rosé made from Mourvedre and Syrah grapes. It comes with gentle floral notes and flavors of cherries, red plums and herbs, and its full body makes it bolder than many Rosés. The Mirage’s seductive label depicts two lovers embracing, and this wine’s poem is called “Touch of Grace.” The last verse reads: “I love you so much/I cannot speak/Or tell you how I feel/Tame me in your erotic arms/ My passion I cannot conceal.” Poetic Cellars, 5000 N. Rodeo Gulch Road, Soquel, 462-3478. poeticcellars.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES JUPITER RETROGRADES IN LIBRA—ARE WE BALANCED? Here we are already in February, the month of Aquarius and Pisces, of Groundhog Day (Candlemas Day, Imbolc, cross quarter day between winter and spring), Valentine’s, Chinese new year, the Lantern Festival at the full moon, birthdays of presidents Lincoln and Washington, and for this year, the month of two eclipses (lunar Feb. 10, solar Feb. 26). February also informs us that spring (March 20) is one month away. Thursday is Groundhog day and Candlemas (between winter solstice and spring equinox). In the Catholic churches candles are brought to Mass and blessed. Friday is the second quarter moon, waxing, setting around midnight. Sunday night, Jupiter, planet of love/wisdom, expansion, beneficence, becomes stationary retrograde. Jupiter is retrograde for four months and direct nine months each year. Jupiter retrogrades at 23 Libra, back to 13 Libra. Where are these

degrees (23-13 Libra) in everyone’s charts? Everyone needs their own astrology chart. Without it, we “see life only through a glass darkly.” When planets are retrograde we enter a state of needed assessment and review. The sign and house the retrogrades move through determines what area of life is affected. Jupiter in Libra—we assess relationships, partnerships and all interactions with others. We review issues of equality, compromise, values and diplomacy. Are we fair and balanced? Do we bring forth harmony and have Right Relations? Who do we value. How do we connect? Libra asks “Are we balanced, are we gracious?” Jupiter’s last transits of Libra were September 2004 to October 2005, October 1992 to November 1993, and October 1980 to November 1981. Whatever occurred in our lives 2004-5 comes to fruition now. Whatever occurred in the previous years reappears for reassessment and review.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Relationships, partnerships, marriage, commitments, negotiations and contracts may all shift and change. You will assess if there is anything needed to expand the good in each of these so that everything becomes more successful and productive. Are new studies needed? Perhaps you will become a teacher or counselor. Work through all conflicts in order to attain more harmony and freedom.

An entirely new cycle begins for you, a new destiny, actually. Greet each day with happiness. Be sure to arise at dawn and step outside. Allow the rays of the morning Sun to penetrate into your eyes. This sets up within your body the new vibrant life cycle for the day. It heightens your perspective, your optimism and your ability to bring joy to the world. This heals the world.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

Work will expand, details will be important, and a deeper sense of service will enter your life. For those seeking new employment, use this time to write down what work environment is most beneficial. Rest and relaxation are needed each day at the same time. Integrity and honesty are values you’re teaching others. Tend to the animals who come your way.

Things seem to be occurring internally, behind veils and curtains, for the purpose of spiritual protection, as events can feel out of control, unusual and rather strange. You will be in touch with what you’re not often in touch with—fears, perhaps sadness and guilt. All of these need clearing. For they aren’t real. They’re learned behaviors. Helping others helps the deep dark secrets disappear. Helping others brings forth joy. You need joy. Dream more.

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Feb. 1, 2017

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Questions posed in your mind during this deep internal time will be about creativity and romance, having fun and children, pleasure, humor, love and warmth. You will find yourself retreating from many things in your life. Careful with investments and speculations. These are too risky at this time. Don’t follow what the many around you believe. There is another reality for you to comprehend. Write a book, journal, paint, draw. With wide open eyes.

Great joy and benefits come forth through family, domestic comfort, the garden and property. There will be a need for security and safety, and thoughts on additions to the home—adding a room, adding to the family, enlarging the garden. Real estate may be on your mind. Some will buy or sell a home. redesign, redecorate and improve living spaces. Family traditions will be important and reinstated.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 You will begin to understand deep complicated situations and problems. You will teach others what you know. You may write a book, or take a class that helps you understand how to communicate with more ease. Travel, local and close by, will be considered. Great intellectual benefits arise at this time. You expand and magnify all that you touch and think about.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 It’s time to consider money and resources, taxes, inheritances, burial rites, insurance and all things of value to you. This is a productive yet practical time. Certain talents will develop and increase your sense of self as useful and valuable. Any past monetary problems seem to disappear. Begin a new budget and manage all resources in new ways. Invest in gold and silver.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 You have an intellectual curiosity contemplating new idea concerning politics and the justice system. You’re interested in learning, finally recognizing your intelligence. It would be wise to consider writing a book or entering publishing or broadcasting fields where you have an audience that appreciates your words, listens to your music, understands your thinking. Remember to remain open and tolerant, kind and fluid, adaptable with a wide perspective.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Notice spiritual and physical contentment spreading throughout your life. Less struggles to contend with, less vulnerable. A deeper understanding occurs as the past reappears. At times a bardo-like feeling is experienced. A stream of memories, from times and events past. Allow this to occur. It’s a washing away of what is no longer needed. Create new financial plans. Invest in life insurance and in gold and silver.

You will be filled with ideas for the future, new seeds of thought that eventually manifest. Allow these to slowly mature so you’re not overwhelmed with too many visions. Walk slowly down the road, ponder upon innovative projects that inspire. This year some brave and cherished hopes will come true. Along with new direction, new byways and highways. Be a friend to someone.

There’s an interesting inward (Saturn) and outward (Jupiter) movement occurring in your life. Saturn pulls one back with deep discipline. Jupiter expands one outward, brings new social standing, prestige. You respond with great intelligence, authority and responsibility. Saturn prepares you internally to be successful in the world and Jupiter expands on this. You have a new goal in life. What is it?

Preparation

-In a small bowl, mix together the thyme, garlic, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the ribs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight. - Preheat the oven to 325°F. Unwrap the ribs and place them on a baking sheet. Cover completely with foil. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove the foil and let the ribs cool. Refrigerate them, wrapped in plastic, until you are ready to pack, up to 24 hours. Just before BBQing cut the racks into individual ribs and place them in a large bowl. Add 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir so all the ribs are coated.

On the BBQ Prepare coals for a medium fire. When the coals are hot, grill the ribs for 10 minutes, until they are lightly charred and heated through, turning them several times and applying several more moppings of sauce. Serve the ribs hot, accompanied by more sauce.

Who or or what first brought you to Shopper’s? PAIGE “I first started coming here as a little girl with my family, and my grandmother, Ellie, worked here in the ‘50s. Though we moved to Scotts Valley fours years ago, I gravitate to Shopper’s because of the fantastic customer service and the great produce and meat departments. We eat a clean — lots of salads — Paleo-style diet. I’ll get Mary’s chicken, allnatural meats, and nitrite-free sausages suasages from Shopper’s. This is the only market where I buy red meat. I can send my daughter, Ava, to the meat counter for an order and she’ll get it.”

Really? You feel comfortable here? AVA: “Yes. After Mom introduced me to it, I just love Shopper’s!” PAIGE: “The butchers are great with their tips, and Esteban, in produce, will select the best melons for you! I’m a snob about buying in-season and quality. The produce is like a farmers market.” AVA: “Fresh!” My favorite food at Shopper’s is the fruit.” PAIGE: “As a local, I like that Shopper’s is family-owned as it runs so smoothly. I’m really big on customer service — it’s a big part of my job — and I like that everyone is friendly.”

How so? AVA: “The checkers will normally ask about my day and what I’m doing — I think that’s really nice. It makes me feel good.” PAIGE: “I like the size of Shopper’s, and If I’m getting various products such as olive oil, vinegar, pasta, or dairy products, I have good choice and I know where eveything is. We want to be healthy and eat healthy. Shopper’s is my store of choice. I’ll tell new residents that ‘Shopper’s is the bomb! — you’ve got to try it.’ AVA: “We have a lot of fun here. Everything at Shopper’s tastes good.”

“Shopper’s is my store of choice. I’ll tell new resisidents that ‘Shopper’s is the bomb! — you’ve got to try it.’”
