OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE World Cup fever came and went again this year, without appearing to make much of a lasting shift in how soccer is viewed in this country. A decade ago, soccer fans believed Americans would be joining the rest of the world in truly embracing their sport any time now, but that’s never really happened. Every four years there’s a spike in interest here when the World Cup rolls around, but it doesn’t stick.

Cultural referees are constantly arguing about the reasons why, but I think this year it had a lot to do with the fact that the U.S. men’s national team didn’t qualify for the first time since 1990. People like to have

CONSPIRACY THEORY

4

Re: “Trestle Mania” (GT, 8/22): Bud Culligan, Miles Reiter and William Ow—Greenway backers—financially supported the Capitola initiative to undermine the current rail trail project. Why scrap the current plan and start from the beginning, wasting all the time and money already put into this project, costing millions of dollars more, and likely never getting a trail at all? This makes absolutely no sense.

Why would a rich organization, Greenway, suddenly appear in our community with one purpose: kill railwith-trail that has been in the planning for almost 20 years with groundbreaking on the first segment within months?

Especially when the current rail-trail plan essentially builds one half of the unapproved, unfunded Greenway “concept plan” with walk and bike use beginning for all of us soon! Then I read articles in the New York Times and L.A. Times in June, which outlined how the Koch brothers’ organization is winning and removing rails against communities’ desires to keep them.

The big money backing removal of rails is called “Americans for Prosperity” and is a Koch-financed conservative group.

This very rich and powerful organization

a home team to root for; they want to feel an emotional connection to what’s happening. That’s why the closest soccer has come to a real pop-culture breakthrough in the U.S. was probably 2004, when the American women’s team improbably won their second Olympic gold medal with a performance in Athens that stunned the world.

It’s also why this semi-pro team Ville FC that Lauren Hepler writes about in our cover story this week has the potential to affect how a lot of people in Santa Cruz County feel about soccer—and they haven’t even played a real game yet! You’ll have to read the story to understand why; it’s full of interesting characters, raw talent, compelling stories and crazy dreams.

And if that isn’t the best reason to follow soccer—or any sport—I don’t know what is.

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR

has been successful in removing rails all over the country and they focus on areas like ours. Koch companies produce gasoline, asphalt, seat belts, tires and other automotive parts. I wonder if our local individuals are being used by the Kochs.

ONLINE COMMENTS RE: KSCO Uh oh, it’s the Thought Police! I remember around a year ago when the same naive “journalist” proudly bragged about getting KSCO to no longer discuss such crazy things as white genocide. Now, it’s in the news daily. Speak your truth. Quit trying to make others be silent. Being a beta male doesn’t mean you can’t be a bully.

— TOMMY

I am so disgusted over Zwerling’s coddling of racism and bigotry. I really enjoy Rosie & Rick in the morning, but supporting the likes of Georgia is not something I can do.

Charlie is bad enough, but Georgia is an outright bigot. I am going to have to boycott the station until she is fired. It is disgusting that MZ allows it to happen. He’s as bad as his Mother was!

What do you think of Burning Man?

BY MATTHEW COLE SCOTT

Only The Sun Will Outlast Our Panels.

It was fun in 2001, but now I have no idea. I haven’t been in 20 years.

BRYAN DAWSON SANTA CRUZ | PAINTER

I wish I had gone to Burning Man 14 years ago, or at least 10 years ago. Now I feel it’s too commercialized.

JEN ARMSTRONG SANTA CRUZ | PHARMACIST

I feel like it’s just become a playground for the very wealthy and elite in the Bay Area and it’s not the accessible party experience that it was when it began.

SAN FRANCISCO | CONSTRUCTION ADMIN

I think that Burning Man is wasteful. We need to think about conserving and taking care of our planet instead of trashing it.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 29 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, our heroine encounters a talking caterpillar as he smokes a hookah on top of a tall mushroom. “Who are you?” he asks her.

Alice is honest: “I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” She says this with uneasiness. In the last few hours, she has twice been shrunken down to a tiny size and twice grown as big as a giant. All these transformations have unnerved her. In contrast to Alice, I’m hoping you’ll have a positive attitude about your upcoming shifts and mutations, Aries. From what I can tell, your journey through the Season of Metamorphosis should be mostly fun and educational.

Juan Villarino has hitchhiked more than 2,350 times in 90 countries. His free rides have carried him over 100,000 miles. He has kept detailed records, so he’s able to say with confidence that Iraq is the best place to catch a lift. Average wait time there is seven minutes.

Jordan and Romania are good, too, with nine- and 12-minute waits, respectively. In telling you about his success, I don’t mean to suggest that now is a favorable time to hitchhike. But I do want you to know that the coming weeks will be prime time to solicit favors, garner gifts, and make yourself available for metaphorical equivalents of free rides. You’re extra magnetic and attractive. How could anyone resist providing you with the blessings you need and deserve?

maybe you have more. Home in on the phenomena that in your mind embody the glory of creation.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 I foresee the withering of a hope or the disappearance of a prop or the loss of leverage. This ending may initially make you feel melancholy, but I bet it will ultimately prove beneficent—and maybe lead you to resources that were previously unavailable. Here are rituals you could perform that may help you catalyze the specific kind of relief and release you need: 1. Wander around a graveyard and sing songs you love. 2. Tie one end of a string around your ankle and the other end around an object that symbolizes an influence you want to banish from your life. Then cut the string and bury the object. 3. Say this 10 times: “The end makes the beginning possible.”

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “If a man treats a life artistically, his brain is his heart,” wrote Oscar Wilde. I’ll translate that into a more complete version: “If a person of any gender treats life artistically, their brain is their heart.” This truth will be especially applicable for you in the coming weeks. You’ll be wise to treat your life artistically. You’ll thrive by using your heart as your brain. So I advise you to wield your intelligence with love. Understand that your most incisive insights will come when you’re feeling empathy and seeking intimacy. As you crystallize clear visions about the future, make sure they are generously suffused with ideas about how you and your people can enhance your joie de vivre.

GEMINI May21–June20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21

One of the big stories of 2018 concerns your effort to escape from a star-crossed trick of fate—to fix a long-running tweak that has subtly undermined your lust for life. How successful will you be in this heroic quest? That will hinge in part on your faith in the new power you’ve been developing. Another factor that will determine the outcome is your ability to identify and gain access to a resource that is virtually magical even though it appears nondescript. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that a key plot twist in this story will soon unfold.

“My tastes are simple,” testified Sagittarian politician Winston Churchill. “I am easily satisfied with the best.”

I propose that we make that your motto for now. While it may not be a sound idea to demand only the finest of everything all the time, I think it will be wise for you to do so during the next three weeks. You will have a mandate to resist trifles and insist on excellence. Luckily, this should motivate you to raise your own standards and expect the very best from yourself.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

Russian playwright Anton Chekhov articulated a principle he felt was essential to telling a good story: If you say early in your tale that there’s a rifle hanging on the wall, that rifle must eventually be used. “If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there,” declared Chekhov.

We might wish that real life unfolded with such clear dramatic purpose. To have our future so well-foreshadowed would make it easier to plan our actions. But that’s not often the case. Many elements pop up in our personal stories that ultimately serve no purpose. Except now, that is, for you Capricorns. I suspect that in the next six weeks, plot twists will be telegraphed in advance.

Potential new allies are seeking entrance to your domain.

Existing allies aspire to be closer to you. I’m worried you may be a bit overwhelmed; that you might not exercise sufficient discrimination. I therefore urge you to ask yourself these questions about each candidate. 1. Does this person understand what it means to respect your boundaries? 2.

What are his or her motivations for wanting contact with you? 3. Do you truly value and need the gifts each person has to give you? 4. Everyone in the world has a dark side.

Can you intuit the nature of each person’s dark side? Is it tolerable? Is it interesting?

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

While a young man, the future Roman leader Julius Caesar was kidnapped by Sicilian pirates. They proposed a ransom of 620 kilograms of silver. Caesar was incensed at the small size of the ransom—he believed he was worth more—and demanded that his captors raise the sum to 1,550 kilograms. I’d love to see you unleash that kind of bravado in the coming weeks, Leo—preferably without getting yourself kidnapped. In my opinion, it’s crucial that you know how valuable you are, and make sure everyone else knows, as well.

Would it be fun to roast marshmallows on long sticks over scorching volcanic vents? I suppose. Would it be safe? No! Aside from the possibility that you could get burned, the sulfuric acid in the vapors would make the cooked marshmallows taste terrible, and might cause them to explode. So I advise you to refrain from adventures like that. On the other hand, I will love it if you cultivate a playful spirit as you contemplate serious decisions. I’m in favor of you keeping a blithe attitude as you navigate your way through tricky maneuvers. I hope you’ll be jaunty in the midst of rumbling commotions.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran loved the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. “Without Bach, God would be a complete second-rate figure,” he testified, adding, “Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure.” I invite you to emulate Cioran’s passionate clarity, Virgo. From an astrological perspective, now is an excellent time to identify people and things that consistently invigorate your excitement about your destiny. Maybe you have just one shining exemplar, like Cioran, or

People will be thinking about you more than usual, and with greater intensity. Allies and acquaintances will be revising their opinions and understandings about you, mostly in favorable ways, although not always. Loved ones and not-so-loved ones will also be reworking their images of you, coming to altered conclusions about what you mean to them and what your purpose is. Given these developments, I suggest that you be proactive about expressing your best intentions and displaying your finest attributes.

OPINION

<4

With all these double standards (when it comes to the hosts and what is allowed and not allowed), it appears as if there is an agenda at KKKSCO. How can all of Georgia’s anti-American rhetoric go ignored and unrecognized as such, but Billy gets fired for pointing out the obvious?

Georgia gets to say that America is a nation based on heritage and culture, which she defines as race specific. She even parts ways with the MAGA movement and claims that America IS NOT AN IDEA. So this un-American wannabe Nazi is allowed to continue to be on the air and further confuse some, encourage

others, and disgust the rest. What do you do?

KSCO: Listen, and be herded ... to the slaughter… by this Judas goat.

— WILLIAM MILTON

Thank you Jacob for this article. I have filed an “Out of Bounds” report on the KSCO website.

My complaint is based upon today’s “Georgia Peach” show. I believe that the verbiage and statements that she shares on the airwaves are far more detrimental than the two hosts that were fired. I do not understand why she is still on the air at KSCO. — MARILYN THERESA ROCKEY

Levels in the Details Answers on Santa Cruz’s library and parking structure project BY JACOB PIERCE [Editor’s note: This is the first in a two-part series on parking issues downtown.

Part 2 runs next week.]

T

ransportation activist Dana Bagshaw is staring at a three-sided board plastered with a map of downtown Santa Cruz overlaid with bright purple rectangles. The shapes represent future potential housing projects and indicate the growing demand for parking downtown, according to the city of Santa Cruz.

“My problem is I always see both sides of the argument,” she says at

this open house organized by the city to share information about a controversial six-story library and parking garage proposal. “The truth lies somewhere in between, but I don’t know what the balance is. I just think our public officials need to pay attention. I think they’re still living in the past, with cars.”

Santa Cruz officials organized the Aug. 6 event to give a tour of the downtown Santa Cruz Public Library’s decaying branch and also share information about the city’s parking needs.

Bagshaw argues that instead

of building new garages, the city could double down on promoting park-and-rides, bus transit and other transportation alternatives.

Bagshaw understands there are plans to build more housing downtown, and knows that some parking spots will be going away as developments pop up. But a 600-car garage strikes her as overkill.

“We don’t need that much parking,” she says. “We don’t want to encourage more cars. They’re projecting into the future on today’s model of car travel, which they need to get away from.” >12

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

When the group behind the planned Santa Cruz community radio station KSQD announced in March that it planned to start broadcasting by mid-June—meaning the all-volunteer, 100-percent grassroots, extremely DIY nonprofit Natural Bridges Media that had formed in December of last year to purchase, rebrand, raise funds for and clear bureaucratic hurdles on a new launch for the 90.7 FM frequency would be able to do so in a mere six months—it seemed impossible.

And it was.

In June, when NBM announced a new target date of Sept. 1, it still seemed outrageous, even though they had cleared some massive hurdles, like getting FCC approval for KSQD and finding office space in the Harvey West neighborhood through the Santa Cruz County Office of Education.

And, again, it probably was.

“It’s not looking good,” admits Rachel Goodman, chair of NBM’s board. “We’re delayed again.”

This time, NBM was held up by a long wait for legal documents that took far longer than expected to process. The group is dealing with multiple governing bodies at once—not only the federal government and the county, but also the UC system, from whom they are leasing space on KZSC’s transmitter.

“There’s a lot of legal twists and turns, and huge bureaucracies involved,” says Goodman. “It’s like pushing a boulder up a hill, and then you run into a bigger boulder.”

But here’s the thing: if KSQD goes live any time this year, it would be a mightily impressive feat by any measure. So why do the people behind the new station keep giving themselves crazy deadlines?

One practical reason is fundraising.

NBM has had to raise a lot of money to get KSQD up and running, most of which went to buying the station and other initial costs.

(They still have to raise $40,000 of what they anticipate to be $83,000 in operating costs for the first year on the air.) And they are clearly driven to deliver on their promises to a community looking to fill the hole left when KUSP went >14

NEWS LEVEL’S IN THE DETAILS <11 The six-story project would be on what is now the farmers market parking lot on Cathcart and Cedar streets. The weekly Wednesday market would move to a yet-to-bebuilt pavilion in the lot behind the Del Mar Theatre.

GT is here to provide some answers on what has already been a complicated and sometimes confusing issue. But the biggest questions are ones of creativity and its limits. City officials and library supporters are selling a vision for a 21st-century library within a downtown Santa Cruz that has a little more housing—some of it affordable—and an increased vibrancy, without sacrificing any of our small-town charm. Activists are calling on city staffers to embrace possibilities for sustainable living and new trends in transportation.

What’s wrong with the current library?

Friends of Santa Cruz Public Libraries’ Vivian Rogers gets an eerie feeling when she sets foot in the downtown branch’s heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) compartments. “I always wonder if you’re gonna see mice hanging on for dear life up there,” she says.

The system has been known to fail, as has the building’s electrical wiring. The building isn’t American Disabilities Act-compliant, either.

On top of that, library supporters say other problems include inadequate bathrooms and the lack of a teen space. Rogers says the most glaring issue may be the outdated plumbing system, which also fails periodically, as it did in May of last year, when the branch was forced to close right before a May the Fourth Star Wars event that librarygoers had been excitedly anticipating.

“We had all the library staff dressed like storm troopers or Darth Vader or Leia—and all these kids,” Rogers says. “We had this whole event shut down by this archaic plumbing. It breaks all the time.”

Rogers envisions Library Director Susan Nemitz being able to start planning a brand new space, one that has new modern technology, teen areas, community spaces, and study rooms.

What if the city just renovates the current library?

Steve Blair, a member of the Downtown Library Advisory Committee (DLAC), said at a June 19 Santa Cruz City Council meeting that he had a vision when he joined

the commission to study possible scenarios.

Going in, Blair imagined the best option would be to remodel the existing building. That was before he realized that a huge amount of cash would get spent “mitigating, not resolving or remediating infrastructure problems in the existing building.” The partial remodel would have the highest operating costs.

And when the 10-member DLAC voted, the members unanimously agreed to support a “mixed-use construction project” that would combine the library with a parking garage, as well as with a few offices or units of housing.

If the city took the remodel route, seismic regulations would limits improvements, and the DLAC report called a partial remodel “fiscally irresponsible,” as there are many features it doesn’t include—like a modern HVAC system, a teen room or an entrance that discourages loitering or otherwise improves the flow of visitors. The most common comments in a 2017 survey about the library were about feeling unsafe due to the homeless, many of whom hang out around the branch’s only entrance. Other popular survey themes included calls for better bathrooms and dedicated parking.

NEWS BRIEFS THE ART OF THE PEARL At a time when democracy’s under assault at home and abroad, one of its most consistent advocates was retired UC Santa Cruz professor Art Pearl, who passed away in Oregon at age 96 last month.

“The solution to the world problems is democracy and only democracy,” Pearl wrote, arguing that democracy must be fully inclusive and

transparent to optimize its problem-solving potential.

This simple maxim proved its power when Pearl, by then 92, showed up in neighboring San Benito County, along with former Santa Cruz County supervisor Gary Patton, to support a fracking ban initiative. Though advocates were heavily outspent by oil companies, local voters overwhelmingly enacted the ordinance.

The popular Bronx-born professor, restaurateur and

radio personality, who ran for Oregon governor in 1970 and served as dean of education at the University of Oregon, taught at UCSC from 1972 to 2001. He served as College Eight provost towards the end of his time here. He continued teaching at WSU Vancouver and later University of Oregon in Eugene until he was 94.

Friends and colleagues, including California Senator Bill Monning, gathered on Saturday at College Nine to remember the activist

Pearl intellectual. Pearl is survived by two sons and daughters, seven grandchildren and four great-granddaughters. His writings on democracy can be read at his blog, “ Art Pearl Against the World.” DAN PULCRANO

NEWS LEVEL’S IN THE DETAILS <12 comment—from 8 percent of respondents—was not to combine the library with a parking garage.

In the four options studied, the DLAC considered a full remodel, too, which was estimated to be more than $10 million more expensive than either the partial remodel or the mixed-use project, according to estimates from the architecture firm Noll & Tam. Members also looked at a total rebuild, which would be more than $20 million more expensive than the mixed-use project. City officials say the mixed-use project is more efficient because a few costs are shared with the parking district, and the library wouldn’t have to pay to host temporary facilities elsewhere.

Doesn’t Santa Cruz have enough parking?

bankrupt and disappeared from the FM band in 2016.

“The people who gave us $265,000, they’re expecting something,” says NBM’s Mathilde Rand, the board treasurer, who has been spending countless hours poring over insurance documents and other paperwork necessary to get KSQD on the air. “There’s work to be done.”

For the last eight years that KUSP was on the air, Rand hosted First Person Singular, that station’s long-running series of twominute pieces that let local people tell their own stories. That’s one of several KUSP shows that will be resurrected on KSQD (with Rand once again hosting)—along with Dr. Dawn Motyka’s Ask Dr. Dawn, Charlie Lange’s blues showcase, the tech advice segment Geek Speak, Zombie Jamboree, and the former station’s daily news and current-events flagship Talk of the Bay. Bringing these shows back, Goodman says, was a no-brainer.

“Everyone asked for these shows by name,” she says.

But while much of the focus so far has been on the ways that KSQD will be like KUSP, it’s also important to note that NBM is actively trying not to be like KUSP in some ways. In particular, like the final years of KUSP, which saw the

station move further and further from local programming, alienating much of the community that had once supported it.

“It’ll be totally different than the last 10 years of the station,” says Goodman, pointing to the almost fully local programming slate. KSQD will run a few syndicated programs—most notably Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now, which will air every weekday at 8 a.m.

KSQD programmers are also trying to broaden the scope of local programming and be more inclusive than KUSP. “There will be more cultural diversity, more female voices, a lot more AfricanAmerican voices, and also more youth voices,” says Goodman. “It’ll sound more like a kaleidoscope of Santa Cruz County.”

For Rand, the question of who gets a voice on the airwaves is key to KSQD’s reason for existing at all. “Building community has always been important, but now I think it’s even more important,” she says of the current political climate.

“The end goal is letting voices from the community be heard.”

It depends on who you ask. Rick Longinotti and other members of the Campaign for Sustainable Transportation have reminded city officials that planning consultants they hired two years ago suggested they exhaust all transportation alternatives before they begin planning for multi-story garages.

They also pressed for other solutions, like phone applications and displays to let consumers know how full the various lots are.

The city’s current models, however, assume that there will be increased demand from a few hundred new housing units and a couple hundred less parking spaces as long-standing lots get developed.

City transportation planner Claire Fliesler has outlined that 234 existing spaces could be gone by 2025. That estimate is a moving targets, though.

More than a couple city officials have said in recent months that public parking in the lot owned

by Calvary Episcopal Church is expected to soon disappear, adding that the “red church,” as it’s commonly known, is getting ready to sign a lease with a developer for affordable housing on that site.

As a result, many staffers said, the church wouldn’t be renewing its lease. Parking manager Marlin Granlund sent permit holders a

letter to that effect last month.

The reality is that nothing’s quite so imminent. A church official did speak about talks with a developer at the June 19 meeting, but he was speaking as a private citizen.

Scott Galloway, who serves on a church committee, says that nothing’s been decided, and the church hopes to renew its lease with the city. Even if Calvary does sign with an affordable housing developer, it could be a couple of years before the developer breaks ground and the parking goes away.

“There could be a better and higher use, clearly, than a parking lot,” Galloway says of the property, which is across the street from the farmers market lot, where the library project has been proposed. “One way of looking at our lot is that open spaces are better. The other way of looking at it is that this town has a housing shortage, and it would probably be better to develop housing downtown, where there are shops and transit. It will be developed at some point, but whether that’s soon or in the distant future, we don’t know.”

How much will the new building cost the people of Santa Cruz?

The cost depends on how much you drive.

Santa Cruz Transportation Manager Jim Burr has laid out a plan to increase parking rates and fees to pay for the garage. While parking deficiency fees may get eliminated, hourly parking rates would more than double to $1.25 over two years, and parking passes would increase to $75 over five years. Transportation activists, like Bagshaw and Longinotti, want the city to raise those same fees and rates, but instead reinvest them in transportation alternatives to driving, like subsidized bus passes.

Do we need more parking to address affordable housing in the downtown core?

Some DLAC members like the mixed-use project, in part, because it could include housing or support affordable housing off-site.

Planning Director Lee Butler says structured parking costs $45,000-$65,000 per space.

The campaign for Sustainable Transportation calls for a more robust package of transportation alternatives, like programs implemented in Boulder, Colorado and at Stanford University in Palo Alto.

Only half of Stanford commuters drive alone, a 22 percent drop from 2000 levels. However, although the city’s drive-alone rate is 56.5 percent, that’s still nearly 9 points lower than Palo Alto’s.

It’s also just over 5 points higher than Boulder’s. That difference can be attributed to a gap in the two cities’ work-from-home rates— Boulder’s is much higher. Be that as it may, Santa Cruz’s downtown commissioners aren’t interested in growing their work-from-home population, under the assumption that downtown employees are downtown customers.

There’s a common argument against building new parking—that the growth of ride-sharing apps pending a self-driving car revolution will lead to a dramatic decline in parking demand. It’s worth pointing out that this perspective may not be able to exist in harmony with sustainability goals. A July report from transportation expert Bruce Schaller found that mobile-based ride-sharing options, like UberPool and Lyft Line, have led to more driving, not less, largely because they appeal to people who weren’t going to drive anyway.

Schaller outlines a couple of tools that could be used to combat this trend, including the continued expansion of bus and bike lanes.

There’s a Kick to It Watsonville’s talent pool has long been local soccer’s best-kept secret. Now a fledgling semi-pro team wants to give South County players a shot at the big time

By Lauren Hepler

R

oberto Castaneda’s friends were used to seeing his Facebook page go into overdrive just before Tax Day. After all, the 30-year-old former Watsonville High soccer star had moved to Turlock and become a Liberty Tax franchisee.

But on April 1 of this year, there was something new mixed into the usual rotation of ads for no-interest loans featuring women dressed as the Statue of Liberty: a frenzied stream of posts about starting a new

semi-professional soccer team in his former hometown.

“It’s time we do something about the lack of opportunities for outstanding players in our community,” Castaneda wrote in the post. “Let’s make Watsonville a powerhouse in soccer.”

Castaneda suggested that the team could play in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL), a nationwide division four minor league team. The goal would be to provide exposure to overwhelmingly Latino local talent

that was being overlooked by college and professional scouts.

Within hours, the post generated dozens of comments in English and Spanish offering time, sponsorships and emojis to the cause. “The highlevel players will be there one way or another,” one friend commented, before adding a note of caution: “It’s the support of the community that keeps projects like this from being just a two- to three-year thing.”

Between Watsonville, Salinas and the Santa Cruz Breakers

development academy, the Central Coast has long been a hotbed for soccer talent. Where problems arise is fostering that talent despite the brutal economics of elite athletics, which tend to wreak havoc on working-class players who must decide between going off to college, trying to go pro, or sticking around to get a job and help their families survive.

Just ask Castaneda, who had to navigate the maze of high school, club, college and professional 22>

soccer possibilities in California as a teenager after moving to Watsonville from the agrarian Central Mexico state of Michoacán at 7 years old. A solid, 5'10" central midfielder with obvious technical skill and unusually acute vision on the field, he became a crucial component of a Watsonville High squad ranked No. 1 in the nation in the mid-2000s.

“When you see him, you think of what a smooth player he is,” San Jose State University Soccer Coach Gary St. Clair said when he signed Castaneda to a full-ride scholarship in 2006.

At San Jose State, Castaneda commuted to school and practice from Watsonville, tacking on a 3-7 a.m. overnight shift at FedEx in between. Though he dropped out twice, earning an associate’s degree

and playing at Cabrillo College in the meantime, he still finished the sociology degree he never really wanted from San Jose State in four years. After school, he went on to play for a number of competitive indoor and outdoor soccer teams, sometimes for money and sometimes as a recreational outlet as he tried to claw his way into a business career.

“Honestly, I feel like I could have gone professional,” says Castaneda, a fast talker with blue eyes that are prone to opening wide with enthusiasm. “I just never had a mentor.”

Three weeks after Castaneda raised the idea of launching a team, he had already given that team a name. Ville FC—with black and lime green team colors—also

had a copyrighted logo, a date in July set for tryouts and a hashtag: #WeAreVilleFC. Even more important was the addition of business partner Cesar Garcia, another former semi-pro player and owner of Ernesto’s Cleaning Services in Watsonville.

For Garcia, 38, the push to provide more options for local soccer players—in a place where it’s easy to bide time in the weekend beer league—is personal.

“I have a son who’s 16,” says Garcia, who is Ville FC’s vice president and interim coach.

“I wouldn’t want to watch him play Sunday League over there at Pinto Lake, finishing playing and drinking.”

Castaneda and Garcia are by no means the first to try this. The now-defunct Salinas Valley Samba also started up in the NPSL back in 2004, before folding due to financial pressures about five years later. This time around, Castaneda estimates it will take about $25,000, an expansion spot in one of the country’s fastest-growing soccer leagues, and navigating a Jenga tower of tenuous relationships between the area’s many competitive soccer clubs to make Ville FC a success.

Perhaps most challenging, though, will be convincing the community that this time will be different.

“People were talking all the time.

No one did it,” says Fabian Martinez,

owner of the downtown Watsonville store Super Soccer. “It takes guts to do it.”

STARTUP SOCCER Just before 8 p.m. on a recent cold and foggy Thursday night, two dozen soccer players age 14-30ish take the field under the lights at Watsonville High School. “¡Dale! ¡Dale!” (“Let’s go!") Garcia shouts as a blur of black, white and neon yellow cleats scatter into formation for a drill.

On the sideline, Castaneda is busy sorting out details for an upcoming scrimmage against Salinas community college Hartnell College, the de facto landing spot for promising players in Monterey County who don’t quite make it to a four-year school. Castaneda and several of the roughly 30 players who survived an initial Ville FC tryout are alumni of Watsonville High, but costs and logistics like use of stadium lighting, the scoreboard and the press box are all still being ironed out as part of the team’s application to the NPSL. If all goes well, the season will start in earnest in March, likely with another round of tryouts in January.

In the meantime, Castaneda is focused on setting the club up financially by recruiting sponsors like Third Generation Berry Farms and Mi Tierra Taqueria, the latter having agreed to the all-important job of feeding visiting teams as the league requires.

“I feel like a lot of people still don’t believe that we’re gonna do this,” Castaneda says. “They’re hesitant, like, ‘Is this a tax write off?’”

Castaneda is fine-tuning his social media savvy on the team’s Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts in hopes of attracting sponsors. He’s also considering converting the ownership model from a partnership to a nonprofit, assuming the team’s league application is accepted, to pursue donations from big local companies like Driscoll’s, Giant and Martinelli’s.

For the players, the months leading up to the start of the season are all about getting in shape and trying to secure themselves a position on the team.

Omar Garibay heard about Ville FC by accident. The 23-year-old left midfielder was trying to call a friend and fellow soccer player named Jesus when he accidentally called a former coach from Pajaro Valley High School, also named Jesus.

“I kind of picked the wrong Jesus,” Garibay says. “I was like ‘Oh, my bad’ and hung up.”

Coach Jesus called back with tryout details. Without hesitation, Garibay decided to drive the eight hours to Watsonville from Indio, where he was living and working at a Target after getting priced out of Watsonville with his mom just before he graduated high school. He played soccer briefly for Southern California’s College of the Desert, but the classes he’d hoped to take in architecture were full, and he didn’t have any financial aid. Moving back to Watsonville to join the team, Garibay hopes, will offer him another shot at earning a scholarship to pay for the architecture classes he never got to take.

Though soccer is particularly youth-obsessed when it comes to moving up the professional ranks— players who compete internationally often join development teams by middle school, or at least high school—Castaneda aims for Ville FC to help get players in their twenties

into schools with extra scholarship money to give away. Though some NPSL teams pay players a modest salary, Ville FC will not, so that players retain the amateur athletic status required for college soccer.

Whether players aim to go to college or to another semi-pro or professional team, Castaneda says, “Our main goal is to get these guys the hell out of here.”

But even getting to Ville FC’s first season is a challenge for Garibay and some of his teammates. A former coach offered him one month at his house rentfree, plus a job in construction framing the interiors of new houses in Silicon Valley five or six days a week. He gets up at 5 a.m. to go to work in San Jose, where he works until 5 p.m. most days and 3:30—to beat traffic—on practice days. It’s “a little tough,” Garibay says, but worth the extra effort.

“A lot of players from Watsonville don’t get the opportunity to try out other places. Usually you would have to go to L.A. or San Jose,” he says.

“To have a team that is local, that opens a lot of doors.”

LOCAL VS. GLOBAL The Jesus that arranged Garibay’s accidental Ville FC tryout was Jesus Acuna. The 28-year-old former playmaker from Pajaro Valley High School went on to coach younger players like Garibay at his alma mater after his own soccer career was cut short.

Though many teammates talked about playing in college or Major League Soccer (MLS) when he was in high school a decade ago, Acuna had no interest in the web of applications, GPA requirements and financial aid forms required to play in the U.S. Instead, he went back to Mexico, where he had lived in the Northern state of Sonora until he was 12. He played for a year on a development team at Mexico City’s storied Club América.

“It was the dream I’d had since a little kid,” Acuna says. “And the only thing I was good at.”

<26 any sport, but in Castaneda’s experience, schools in the region are particularly bad at emphasizing education for Latino players. At Watsonville High, where 96 percent of students are Latino and 81 percent are considered “socioeconomically disadvantaged,” just over half of students who graduate are even academically eligible to go straight to a four-year college in California. When Castaneda did get to San Jose State, he found that underachieving was encouraged in the name of academic eligibility for soccer.

“I wanted to be a civil engineer,” says Castaneda, who graduated with a degree in sociology. “All the Hispanic kids were history, sociology, criminal justice. All the white people were engineers, business.”

Playing in Mexico, Acuna got his own education about the cutthroat business of soccer—“it was a good experience, but not what I thought it would be,” he says. After playing at América, he bounced around briefly at clubs like Querétaro and found

that he didn’t have the professional connections to last. He came back to Watsonville around age 20, where, during a tough time, he and his girlfriend soon found out their first child, a son, was on the way.

“Honestly, I fell into this really hard depression when I came back,” he says.

While negative stereotypes about gang involvement or low graduation rates for young Latino men are commonly discussed in the media—and increasingly, politics—medical research has found that mental health conditions like depression and anxiety are understudied in this same demographic.

Limited access to health care also complicates the picture in many largely minority communities like Watsonville.

Castaneda says that families struggling to get by can also have more trouble supporting young players. Because their work always came first, he says, “my parents never watched me play until the last game of college.”

Acuna is now a married father of two working construction in and

For most casual soccer fans, the big names in area soccer seem few and far between: the San Jose Earthquakes, the Santa Cruz Breakers, the Stanford Cardinal. But in reality, the constellation of underthe-radar clubs, community colleges and semi-pro teams operating on the Central Coast and surrounding areas is big and getting bigger.

In recent years, new teams in the fourth-division NPSL, third-division Premier Development League (PDL) and second-division United Soccer League (USL)—the three tiers in U.S. soccer under Major League Soccer— have formed in cities like Fresno, Turlock, Sacramento and Sonoma, among others. In addition to putting Watsonville on that map, Garcia and Castaneda see an opportunity to climb the ladder to higher divisions, if the level of play and funding for the team proves reliable.

“It’s really difficult,” Garcia concedes, though he thinks it can be done. On top of sponsorships and ticket sales, trading top players to teams willing to pay a transfer fee is the primary way soccer teams earn revenue to grow their operations.

Garcia is well-acquainted with teams in the region. He left Mexico at 16 after a professional contract with the club Necaxa fell through, joining his parents in Watsonville and playing semi-professionally with

the Santa Cruz Breakers and other clubs in San Jose, San Francisco and elsewhere. He had planned to go back to the Breakers, but an injury forced him into an active retirement playing recreationally and coaching.

For the clubs already up and running nearby, the new team could be seen as a threat. Since Watsonville hasn’t had its own semipro team before, local players often leave town in search of opportunity, which Ville FC hopes to change. “We want those that are from here to stay here,” Garcia says.

Whether that will go over well with neighbors like the Santa Cruz Breakers, however, is an open question.

“The Breakers come in and they take the best players,” Castaneda says. “We see less and less talented players come out of Watsonville.”

Still, to compete for the top players needed to advance to a higher division, Ville FC would also likely have to cast a wide net and recruit from neighboring cities.

“Kids are going to come from Salinas, Santa Cruz, Gilroy,” Garcia says. “I want to have 50-60 percent from here.”

While it’s not difficult for the duo to imagine where Ville FC might go, they acknowledge there’s a long way to go. As a way to build goodwill at a recent scrimmage against Hartnell College, played in front of a crowd of about 450 people, the team gave away $800 in scholarships to kids who attended the game with their parents.

The experience reminds Castaneda of his first few months out of college, back when even the thought of public speaking was enough to make him black out one time in class. Still, he suffered through door-to-door sales for cable, phone and internet in Watsonville until he saved enough to start his tax business.

“The hardest thing about a business is starting,” he says.

“Getting up off of the couch and making things happen.”

The Museum of Art and History’s ‘Coyote Now’ brings new perspective to interactive modern art BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

T

he Museum of Art and History (MAH) is coloring outside of the lines, as evidenced by their latest exhibit “Coyote Now.” The installment is more like a life-sized coloring book plastered on the walls

than it is a traditional curation of fine art. Actually, a coloring book for the community is exactly what it is, and Santa Cruz residents have left quite a mark.

larger-than-life drawings that follow the mischievous tale of a coyote. She draws the images digitally, since she said hand drawing on the wall in Sharpie has proven to be stressful.

Feddersen adapts each story behind the Coyote image, and this time she

says she wanted to bring Coyote’s story into the 21st century by including technology, environmental and political issues.

might put a work of art up on a pedestal that’s not to be touched and exclusively for the wealthy,” Feddersen said at the exhibit’s grand opening. “One way that I transposed that from my own perspective is making art that can be touched, and can bring community together, something that isn’t merely a piece on the wall. Its art is happening when people are working on it, and after that it’ll just come down.”

The epic story of Coyote is a North American indigenous oral folk tale based around the idea that Coyote can be reincarnated as long as there is a piece of him remaining; a whisker, scrap of fur or bone. In that way, Coyote is immortal. A fox has to jump over his remains five or three times (depending on the version of the story) to bring him back to life, like a Coyote-Beetlejuice hybrid. Feel free to stand there and scream “Coyote, Coyote, Coyote!” or just pick up one of the crayons that Feddersen has cast from real coyote bones to metaphorically bring him back to life.

“One thing that Coyote does is show us why things are unfair, why the land and structures are the way they are. He exemplifies our bad behavior so that we can choose to do better, and he causes and creates calamities,” Feddersen says.

But the images need explanation, the busy walls are all-consuming, especially with the variety of colors, sketches, and various stories within the piece. Coyote’s story begins on the left, where he is reborn on a nuclear reservation. He proceeds to get into a fight with his wife, a mole, and tries to eat her. She tunnels into the ground and causes a sinkhole. “It’s not fracking,” Feddersen explains. “It’s Coyote and

Mole fighting.” As the exhibition continues, Coyote goes on to visit a sweat lodge, get fired from his day job, and get hunted down by the FBI. “After he gets fired, he goes on Reddit to look for jobs and finds a forum where he can promote certain social media posts to make money through, basically, the Russian government,” Feddersen says.

Months later, what was once a perfect casting of neon-hued crayons has turned into a pile of fingernail-sized pebbles—evidence of the amount of people that have lent their own hand to the Coyote legacy. The blank slate has become much more than a mere coloring project; from a smattering of political commentary to commemorative initials in hearts, it’s a living representation of individual creativity and modernday society.

There are green buffalos, purple trees and rainbow clouds. Between the scrawlings of “Obey Corporate Greed,” a capitalism tractor and “The Millers Were Here,” the wall is completely filled from ceiling to floor. Coyote dies in Bears Ears National Monument when he is crushed by an oil drilling derrick—a relevant nod to the fact that Bears Ears is set to be reduced by 85 percent for oil drilling under the Trump administration. Luckily, the pile of crayon-pebbles ensures that, despite his misfortune, Coyote will return again.

Diego’s Umbrella promises sweat at upcoming Moe’s Alley show BY CAT JOHNSON

J

ake Wood recently played percussion with a traveling production of Hamilton. The drummer for gypsy rock band Diego’s Umbrella, Wood says the experience was “drastically different” than what he’s used to.

“I was stuck in an orchestra pit for the last six months, playing the exact same notes every night,” he says. “To come back to this, where I get to rock out and play the stuff I came up with, and have fun, and express myself in a completely different setting and manner is such a cathartic release.”

A longtime drummer and percussionist, Wood holds down rhythm duties for one of the rowdiest, high-energy acts around.

Comprising Vaughn Lindstrom on

acoustic guitar and vocals, Jason Kleinberg on fiddle and vocals, Kevin Gautschi on electric guitar and vocals, Red Cup on bass, and Wood on drums, Diego’s Umbrella has a gift for playing rafter-rattling songs that capture the imagination and feet.

After his time on the road, Wood is thrilled to be back with the band.

“I might even be feeling it more than the rest of the guys,” he says with a laugh.

Blending Eastern European gypsy (Roma) sounds, Spanish flamenco, polka, ska, pop, rock and more, Diego’s Umbrella digs deep into traditional styles and brings to them a 21st century flair and spirit. Wood describes the band’s live shows as infectious.

“If people are paying any attention,” he says, “they realize that we’re having a party and they should join us. It usually works out for both parties involved.”

The band members have a solid handle on a number of styles to hold the whole thing together. For Wood, this is the challenge and the joy of performing with Diego’s Umbrella.

“I get to play reggae, polkas, ska, punk rock, a little bit of metal, hiphop—it’s a dream come true for a drummer,” he says. “I get to do a lot of cool stuff and flex different parts of my brain, in terms of what I’ve learned over the years. It’s not boring in the slightest.”

Formed in 2001, Diego’s Umbrella released its fifth full-length album,

Edjka, last year and is gearing up to record a new batch of songs. The band treats its performances and setlists with the same care it treats its albums. As Wood explains, they run performances like a stage show, with few pauses between songs. The members, Wood explains, “cultivate a certain experience.”

“We’ll decide to start off on the harder side with one crowd, then go into some mellower stuff and have the crescendo later,” he says. “Or, if the crowd isn’t arriving early, we’ll start with B-list stuff, then once we have a full crowd, we unleash the A-list stuff.”

For a band that was born and raised in San Francisco, the members of Diego’s Umbrella have seen the music scene in the city change dramatically in the last 10 years.

Most striking is the present lack of small venues where bands can get experience and start a fan base.

“Most of the smaller venues that I came up playing in don’t exist anymore,” says Wood. “You need those small venues to cultivate a following.

Without that, you’re just not going to have as many acts coming out of San Francisco. Not to mention, a lot of musicians are moving out of the city, so you don’t have as many local bands to play with anymore.”

He stresses, however, that the Bay Area music scene is still alive and well.

“Some artists are pretty quick to hate on San Francisco—that it’s not what it used to be,” he says. “I tell them that I’m still here and it’s my job to keep it cool. We all have to do our part so it doesn’t suck too much.”

When asked what we can expect from the upcoming Diego’s Umbrella performance at Moe’s Alley, Wood says, “a whole lot of sweat.”

“We expect to see a pretty big turnout of die-hard, dancing, party fans,” he says. “We’ve been playing Moe’s in Santa Cruz for years and we haven’t played a weekend in a long time. This show should be quite the dancing spectacle. That’s my prediction.”

Diego’s Umbrella will perform at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1 at Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 479-1854.

LITTLE PETIE

When Peter Michael was a kid, his family called him “Little Petie.” His dad was Peter and his grandfather was Pete, so the nickname sort of made sense. But he hated it.

As he’s gotten older, though, he’s reconsidered. In fact, he’s using it for his latest musical project, Little Petie and the Mean Old Men. And the oncehated nickname has become a bit of an alter ego.

AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“He’s a little more happy-go-lucky and perhaps intentionally naïve,” Michael says. “There are times when I’m writing songs that I think, ‘Yeah, Little Petie wouldn’t say that.’ It has created a lens through which the songs are delivered.”

44

Michael spent years playing in a punk band, and then became a contemplative singer-songwriter. But he wanted to have more fun.

“I enjoyed presenting those songs in the past, but there was an emotional cost that after a while I just got tired of paying,” Michael says. “I decided I would write songs that were up-tempo and catchy, not really thinky or heartbreaky.”

Now he’s having a great time playing good old-fashioned riff-heavy rock music.

“Our songs are in a style that is already familiar to people,” Michael says. “We’re not reinventing rock ’n’ roll. There’s nothing that’s gimmicky.

It’s straightforward. I think once people start to familiarize themselves with our songs, they really appreciate and enjoy them.” AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

BAD BAD HATS Can you describe your band in three words or less? Minneapolis trio Bad Bad Hat can; they call it “sweet and sour.” In other words, ultra-catchy pop songs that straddle the line between innocent, feel good melodies and sad, reflective lyrics. It’s a combination not too uncommon with indie-pop bands, but when a band like Bad Bad Hat gets it right, it makes you feel all the feels. The band’s latest record, Lightning Round, is simultaneously more polished and looser than the one before it. It’s like a whole different category of sweet and sour.

THURSDAY 8/30 ROCK

DANGALEROS If the Dangaleros backstory is to be believed, the “despicable six” members were so isolated in rural Mexico

that they had to form their own rock band to have something to do. And these six couldn’t be more different: border patrol agents, outlaws, cartel members, etc. You know the desire to rock was high if these guys could set aside their differences! Sure, this might all be fabricated, but in any case this six-piece puts on a fun show with a rock-oriented sound that dips into punk, funk, and spaghetti Western desert rock. AC INFO: 7:30 p.m. Flynn’s Cabaret & Steakhouse, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15/adv, $18/door. 335-2800.

JAZZ

STEVE WILSON & MONTEREY ALL-STARS Santa Cruz trombonist/vocalist Steve Wilson, a key part of Cabrillo College’s jazz program for four decades, presents a prodigious band as part of Kuumbwa’s Live & Local series.

Featuring well-traveled bassist Steve Uccello, Los Angeles-transplant Gary Meek on saxophones and piano, and veteran drummer Andy Weis (who leads a larger version of this ensemble at the Monterey Jazz Festival next

month), the Monterey All-Stars combo lives up to its name. A versatile multi-instrumentalist who has toured and recorded with powerhouse drummer Dave Weckl and Brazilian stars such as Flora Purim, Airto, and Oscar Castro-Neves, Meek has added a vivifying jolt of energy to the Monterey Bay scene since relocating here in 2009. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $21/adv, $26.25/door. 427-2227.

HIP-HOP

ROTATIONS Khan is a local hip-hop artist who’s been putting out EPs and mixtapes for years now. His latest EP, Occupied—a collaboration with Santa Cruz producer Ghost Hour—is sublime boom-bap.

Khan has put together an evening of hip-hop/soul at the Crepe Place called “Rotations” that includes Gilroy “femcee” 1 .A.M., spinner of old-school rap DJ Los the Nexus, sweet soul singer Genoa T. Brown, and poet-turned-rapper Joseph Jason Santiago Lacour.

Word on the street is there’ll be a secret surprise guest as well. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $8. 429-6994

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

Since last December, Lin-Manuel Miranda has been dropping monthly singles for his project Hamildrops, which are basically covers of songs from the Hamilton soundtrack. This March, L.A. pop-punk band the Regrettes released their rendition of “Helpless” which is so far one of the best contributions. Like the rest of the Regrettes songs, it’s got both attitude and vulnerability. This is most apparent on the group’s debut album, Feel Your Feelings Fool. Earlier this year, the group released the more all-over-the-place, but still awesome EP Attention Seeker. AC

Vibration is a classic roots reggae singing group that formed in 1970 and started releasing classic Rastafarian albums in the late ’70s.

The Roots Radics are a backing band that have played with everyone (Bunny Wailer, Eek-A-Mouse, Gregory Isaacs, etc). They’ve backed Israel Vibration on a couple of albums. And now—lucky you—they are backing the group live in concert. This will be the most reggae thing you do this week. AC

One half of alt-rock outfit Ween, Dean Ween (aka Michael Melchiondo, Jr.) has carried a torch for catchy underground music since way back in the 1980s when he and Gene Ween started making music together. He has since worked on dozens of projects with a variety of artists, including Queens of the Stone Age and Yoko Ono. These days, Dean also leads the Dean Ween Group, which released its sophomore album, Rock2, earlier this year. The record is described

by Dean as representing the first time he was able to take what the band does on stage and put it on a record. “Every little thing I’ve ever learned is somewhere on here somewhere. Maybe you can find a little piece of it that means as much to you as it does to me.” CAT JOHNSON

DOWNRIGHT PUZZLING Kelly Macdonald has a growing obsession in ‘Puzzle.’

50

Jigsawed Love story and family drama are pieced together unevenly in ‘Puzzle’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

I

t’s easy to imagine people leaving Puzzle saying, “That’s what my mother’s life was like.” That’s why it’s resistible.

It takes place now, but it’s like the realm our mothers lived in, as if nothing had changed in decades.

Here’s a story of a married woman’s affair, and the dynamics between her, her husband Louie (David Denman) and her sons—the way the family circle is observed is absolutely pre-sitcom. Puzzle’s put-upon Connecticut homemaker Mata, called Agnes, tells us she has no sense of humor, none, never had it, never will, but that doesn’t mean that the world around her will have gone humorless. Agnes is played by

the Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald with an unplaceable accent (she’s revealed to be Hungarian). She practically lives in Catholic purdah, chained to the duties of taking care of the house, the overweight, snoring Louie and the grown-up sons. At the beginning Agnes is the subject of a sad birthday party where the men swill beer and belch.

She has to make her own cake and light her own candles, and sweep up on her hands and knees when her clumsy spouse breaks one of her favorite dishes.

Piecing the broken plate together, as well as the birthday gift of a jigsaw puzzle, triggers something— she finds a flair for doing puzzles.

She encounters, via a Manhattan puzzle store, Robert (Irrfan Khan), an independently wealthy competitive jigsaw player. She lies about her trips to New York City to train for a contest; the lies are at first innocent and later on, not so much. In the background is family drama. Louie and Agnes’ eldest son Ziggy (Bubba Weiler) doesn’t want to work for the family auto body shop. He’d prefer the unmanly (according to Louie) profession of chef. Wouldn’t Louie have heard of Gordon Ramsay?

Macdonald is good in the kind of part Edie Falco could have knocked home. She’s not a mouse, displaying a certain flash in her dark eyes,

along with moments of grit. Producer turned director Marc Turtletaub does a few things to place these characters in our time, referencing iPhones and son Gabe’s vegetarian girlfriend. But this movie is about a lost world, with the actors laboring to make it real in a plot that lays it on too thick. It’s distracting to try to figure out why the son who loves cooking couldn’t bother to light up his mother’s birthday cake.

That Puzzle is a remake of a 2009 Argentinian movie might explain it— maybe it’s still this bad in Argentina?

PUZZLE Directed by Marc Turtletaub.

Starring Kelly Macdonald, David Denman and Irrfan Khan. R; 102 Mins.

FILM NEW RELEASES

AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

JULIET, NAKED If you’re familiar with Nick Hornsby tales like High Fidelity and About a Boy, you know the female lead is usually stuck with some narcissistic jackass man-boy. But not in Juliet, Naked. This time, female lead Rose Byrne has two narcissistic jackass man-boys to choose from!

One is her music nerd boyfriend (played by Chris O’Dowd) and the other is the culty singer-songwriter (played by Ethan Hawke) that her boyfriend is obsessed with. What’s that you say—this bizarre love triangle is sure to lead to whimsical romantic comedy? Ah, you have seen a Nick Hornsby adaptation before! Directed

by Jesse Peretz. (R) 105 minutes. (SP)

KIN Who’s ready for this new wave of science fiction films that use their fantastical elements as a hook to draw you deeper into complex stories about real-world drama? This is actually one of the oldest tricks in the sci-fi playbook, but it’s experiencing a Renaissance right now. These are the kinds of stories that make you go, “Wait, is this really science fiction? It seems more like (fill in appropriate other genre here”—and then go on to prove that they’re both. Sorry to Bother You was this year’s best example, but Kin may be an interesting one, too. It’s based on the well-made short film Bag Man, in which a troubled black kid takes a mysterious trip out of the city. When he gets there, we learn he’s come to test out a weapon of obviously alien origin that he’s somehow found. He gets a chance to do so in an unexpected way when he comes across a mob hit in progress.

Kin attempts to answer the questions raised by the short film—how did he find that thing, anyway, and who did it belong to, and do they want it back?— while fleshing out the crime and family drama that surrounds the main character. Directed by Jonathan Baker and Josh Baker. Starring Jack Reynor, Zoe Kravitz, Dennis Quaid and James Franco. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (SP)

OPERATION FINALE It’s been almost 15 years since Ben Kingsley really got to chew his way through a bad-guy role as only he can. He was an absolutely terrifying gangster in Sexy Beast, but this time he goes

straight to the heart of evil playing Albert Eichmann in this Nazihunting drama based on the true story of the Israeli spies who tracked the notorious SS officer down in Argentina. Directed by Chris Weitz.

Co-starring Oscar Isaac, Melanie Laurent and Nick Kroll. (PG-13) (SP) SEARCHING Since Crazy Rich Asians is the “surprise” hit of the summer (really Hollywood, you thought people wouldn’t go to that movie because it had an Asian cast?), it seems like as good a time as any to roll out the first mainstream thriller made in this country starring an AsianAmerican actor. John Chu plays a father whose 16-year-old girl goes missing, leading him to try to use a technological trail to find her.

Directed by Aneesh Chaganty. Costarring Debra Messing and Sean O’Bryan. (PG-13) 102 minutes. (SP) CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to https://groups.google. com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING A.X.L. Writer-director Oliver Daly originally made this family-friendly sci-fi story about a bike-racing boy who befriends a cutting-edge military dog robot as a seven-minute short film funded through Kickstarter. I watched it—it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense narratively, but the chrome dog looks really damn cool. Plus, there are some sweet dirt-biking scenes—which, let’s face it, is all any Hollywood exec really wants in a movie. Add in the fact that it’s basically E.T. without the Reese’s Pieces and space travel, and I can see why A.X.L. got a green light. Starring Thomas Jane, Becky G and Alex Neustaedter. (PG) 100 minutes. (SP) BLACKKKLANSMAN Remember how good Spike Lee’s last two movies Da Sweet Blood of Jesus and Chi-raq were? Of course you don’t, because you didn’t see them, and

neither did anybody else. It’s safe to say that Lee hasn’t been relevant since 2006, when he delivered both the Hurricane Katrina documentary When the Levees Broke and the twisty heist thriller Inside Man in the same year. But BlacKkKlansman, based on the story of a real-life African-American police detective who infiltrated David Duke’s Ku Klux Klan in 1979, screams “comeback film” in every way. From its cultural relevance in the age of governmentsupported white supremacists to the way it plays with questions of racial identity (as in Sorry to Bother You, an African-American protagonist has to find his “white voice”) to its showcase for his trademark mix of brutal truth and humor, this is the kind of joint Lee was born to make.

Starring John David Washington, Adam Driver and Topher Grace. (R) 135 minutes. (SP) BLINDSPOTTING Writers and costars Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs (of Hamilton fame) deliver their “love letter to Oakland” after 10 years of development. They play two former childhood friends (not a stretch, since they actually were) trying to get through the last three days of a year-long probation being served by Collin (Diggs). But his reckless friend Miles (Casal) may be the biggest threat to his freedom. Directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada. Co-starring Janina Gavankar and Wayne Knight.

(R) 95 minutes. (SP) CHRISTOPHER ROBIN There are all these complicated tests out there now that are supposed to tell you if your partner is secretly a psychopath, but I have a super easy one. One morning, just casually say, “Hey, are you interested in seeing this adorable and charming new liveaction film in which Ewan MCGregor plays an adult Christopher Robin who has lost touch with his sense of childish fun, but then rediscovers Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and all of his other friends in the 100 Acre Wood?” If he or she says no, get out of the house now! Run for your life! That person is definitely going to murder you for the insurance money. Directed by Marc Forster.

Co-starring Hayley Atwell and Bronte Carmichael. (PG) 104 minutes. (SP)

CRAZY RICH ASIANS Ugh, you gotta feel for the multiracial actors cast in this rom-com based on the book by Kevin Kwan. This is the first big-budget Hollywood film to feature a predominantly Asian cast in 25 years, but for some people, they’re just not Asian enough. The criticism over the casting for this movie— about a Chinese-American professor who accompanies her boyfriend to Singapore and discovers that his family is not only crazy rich, but just plain crazy—got so ridiculous that at one point a Korean American actress who had been turned down for a role complained in an interviews about the “loopholes” in ethnically conscious casting. The problem: she herself had played the Chinese character Mulan in the TV series Once Upon a Time. Directed by Jon M. Chu. Starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Ken Jeong and Michelle Yeoh. (PG-13) 104 minutes.

(SP) THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS A lot of people seem up in arms about the idea behind this movie: putting Muppets in kid-unfriendly settings. Sesame Street even sued the producers! So, uh, they never heard of Avenue Q? Or Peter Jackson’s truly disturbed Meet the Feebles? C’mon, people, Muppets doing inappropriate things is a creepy but hilarious thing to see! Anyway, for the most part this black comedy/ crime thriller about a murder in a world where puppets co-exist with people (but are treated like second-class citizens) is really more of a dirtier riff on Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Directed

by Brian Henson. Starring Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph and Joel McHale. (R) 91 minutes. (SP) THE MEG Yes, we all wish this horror movie was about a giant Meg Ryan chasing people around, but you’ll have to settle for a 70-foot prehistoric shark stalking Jason Statham. Directed by Jon Turteltaub. Co-starring Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson and Bingbing Li. (PG-13) 113 minutes. (SP) MILE 22 “You gonna keep coming at me until you kill us all? Is that the game today? That’s a weird game, but OK, I’ll play.” I can tell that’s what Mark Wahlberg, as the leader of some super-secret CIA unit, is

actually saying to a terrorist in the trailer for Mile 22. But thanks to SNL, the only thing I hear whenever that ridiculous voice comes out of his face on screen is “Hey goat! I like your beard! I had a beard like that in The Perfect Storm! Did you see that movie? Say hi to your mother for me!” Then again, I would rather watch 95 minutes of Mark Wahlberg Talks to the Animals than this 10thgeneration ripoff of better action movies about crack military teams getting “the asset” from Point A to Point B. Directed by Peter Berg.

Starring Wahlberg, Ronda Rousey and John Malkovich. (R) 95 minutes.

(SP) MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT I thought I was crazy when I first noticed that the popularity of Mission: Impossible movies seem to grow the more Tom Cruise gets hurt.

To put it a little more accurately, the more the movies undercut Cruise’s veneer of action-hero flawlessness, the more people flock to them. But I’m not the only person who thinks this, because the trailer for the latest one features a scene where Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt is scared to jump out a window. And it’s really funny! For some reason, Tom Cruise getting owned just never gets tired.

Hell, isn’t that why we all watched Edge of Tomorrow, to see him get killed over and over again? Directed

by Christopher McQuarrie. Costarring Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg. 147 minutes. (SP) PAPILLON No prison can hold Jax from Sons of Anarchy! At least that’s the idea behind casting Charlie Hunnam in the title role of this remake of the 1973 film starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. It’s all based on the memoirs of Henri “Papillon” Charriere, a safecracker who escaped from the supposedly unescapable-from Devil’s Island in French Guiana. Directed by Michael Noer. Co-starring Rami Malek, Eve Hewson and Tommy Flanagan. (R) 133 minutes. (SP) PUZZLE Reviewed this issue.

Starring Kelly Macdonald, David Denman and Daniel Stewart Sherman. (R) 103 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK APPETIZER OF THE WEEK

The pretty and utterly delicious seared ahi and avocado crostini appetizer at Oswald ($7). Two of these crunchy, sensuous crostini arrive in a single order. The crimson ahi looks stunning on the chartreuse avocado. Supple, sensuous, and topped with a garlic vinaigrette. I like mine with a bone-dry Venus No. 1 martini, not necessarily dirty. But it also makes sense with a Campari and soda. While you’re at Oswald, don’t miss the exciting show of abstract paintings by Rob Blitzer, on exhibit through August.

Market Madness Peak season at Santa Cruz farmers markets, plus ahi crostini at Oswald and cake at Iveta BY CHRISTINA WATERS

I

t’s here. The absolute peak of summer harvest, and that means that our farmers markets are loaded with the right stuff. Figs—pale Kadota and dark Mission figs—offer their suggestive shapes and interiors as breakfast foods and as partners for evening cheese platters. This is also the moment when blueberries are abundant, offering pungent tart and sweet inflections to our table at every meal. Blackberries, raspberries, even the persistent strawberry are at their peak right now. I’ve never seen a season as

good as this for nectarines and peaches. Almost every one of them that I’ve brought home from the Santa Cruz Farmers Market has been a winner. I let them ripen for a day on my windowsill—same with dry-farmed tomatoes which will be with us for another month. It was a great summer for asparagus and little butter lettuces. But now’s the time for slender green beans and the beginning of the color circus of bell peppers in late summer hues of red, orange, yellow, and of course, green.

All sorts of incredible peppers are hitting the markets right about now,

including sweet banana peppers and the addictive little padrons. You need no reminder: this is one of the top spots on the globe for dry-farmed tomatoes. We have the very best at our markets, e.g. Molino Creek, Dirty Girl. So whether your neighborhood market is in Felton, Live Oak, Aptos, downtown Santa Cruz, or the Westside, get out and treat yourself to the best of late harvests during the next few weeks. And while you’re there, check out the artisanal pastries, pastured meats, and freshcaught seafoods. Fresh local salmon if you hurry!

The 2014 Gravitas from Bonny Doon Vineyard ($16). Think of it as the companion to its red sibling, A Proper Claret. This is a lovely Bordeaux-style white blend of two of my favorite grapes— Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. A splash of Orange Muscat adds a floral perfume. Citrus, melon and some light minerals make this an exceptionally drinkable wine, as in drink it right this very minute!

The light 13.5 percent alcohol is refreshing for a wine with so much gravitas. We like to sip it all by itself, very chilled, and ideally while enjoying the late summer sunset. But it goes smartly with chicken, fish and pasta. And tacos.

And hummus wraps. Available at all of your favorite places, but we find it at New Leaf and Shopper’s.

PASTRY OF THE WEEK

The fresh and warm-from-theoven nectarine buttermilk cake at Iveta. We walked in last week just as the thick, creamy tea cake was being sliced. Light and tender, yet substantial, this lovely creation was barely sweet, tangy from buttermilk, and studded with cubes of ripe nectarine. Stunning for around $3 per huge slice. Maybe it’s not there everyday. But check in often just to see if you get lucky.

TASTING ROOM UPDATE

Windy Oaks Estate’s new downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea tasting room at its Lincoln and 7th location has new hours; Friday and Saturday, noon to 7 p.m.; Sunday through Thursday, noon to 6 p.m.

IVAN GARCIA: No. It costs too much now to do that because of all of the fresh ingredients that we use.

Everything is different, it’s all made fresh. We use cleaner ingredients now and even though the price went up very slightly, it’s still cheaper than any other slice in town—other than Little Caesars. You can’t compete with that.

MEREK TEJA: We’ve been trying to come up with a way to have a discounted pizza, maybe half-slices for a dollar. Dollar Tuesday was extraordinarily popular, like nonstop for hours. We didn’t make a lot of money, but people are just too poor to afford to go out and do anything in this town anymore.

Why did Rockers close?

GARCIA: The owner, Paul Gerhart, just got tired of it. He’s still an owner of the Catalyst though—one of a few.

TEJA: It was a separate business before, now it’s part of the Catalyst itself. I think it might make it easier for the employees; it always felt like there was a weird buffer between us when it was separate.

uring the downtown Santa Cruz witching hour, Rockers Pizza Kitchen was a comforting beacon for late nighters. The megaslices filled the holes in stomachs and hearts of post-partiers; the only concern was getting enough parmesan and chili flakes to absorb the thick oil slick before it reached the flimsy paper plate. Rockers never promised gourmet-fancy pies, but it didn’t need to.

Since the new Catalyst Kitchen took over, however, the menu features quality ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes and fresh basil, and a different dough recipe that drops the onion and garlic and is more reminiscent of a New York-style pizza. They did keep some Rockers souvenirs, including the industrial guillotine-like rotating oven from the ’70s, and the Angry Samoan pizza.

When the Catalyst approached their head bouncer Ivan Garcia about taking over the kitchen, he said no for months. When he finally agreed, he searched YouTube for how to make a pizza, added fried food to the menu (including deep-fried oreos and twinkies) and opened the doors for business. He is joined by Merek Teja, who worked at Rockers for 12 years and now works at Catalyst Kitchen.

set out some weeks ago to Bottle Jack’s tasting room on La Madrona Drive in Santa Cruz to try some of winemaker John Ritchey’s wines, especially his impressive 2017 Sierra Foothills Viognier which I had tasted at Cantine Winepub in Aptos. But I ended up with a bottle of his double-gold award-winning 2014 Syrah-Grenache and wrote about that instead. So now I’m finally writing about Ritchey’s Viognier ($25), which I found at his other tasting room on Ingalls Street, in a shared space with Silver Mountain Vineyards.

Aromas of tropical fruit and honeysuckle with flavors of pineapple, pear and citrus add enormous pizzazz to this delicious white wine—one of the best local Viogniers around. “It’s a mediumbodied white that is soft on the palate yet dangerously refreshing,” says Ritchey. All three places mentioned have this heavenly honeysuckle nectar, and the two tasting rooms carry all of the other Bottle Jack wines as well.

BUILD, BURN, LEAVE NO TRACE

Outdoor Seating

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Aug. 29, 2018 We are in the time of orderly, discerning and disciplined Virgo, sign of new and higher states of awareness. As always, Virgo is just in time for Burning Man (Aug. 26-Sept. 3), the radical arts community/ temporary metropolis in the playas of Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. A vivid, flamboyant, fabulous city devoted to art and community. Burning Man, with its ethos (spirit) of freedom and culture organically begun in 1986 in San Francisco, is a field of survival (107 degrees) amidst creation—together building the new world aura/era. It’s irrational, primal, celebratory; a procession of humanity, days and nights of gritty dust under Sun and stars, individually in communion.

It’s build, burn, dismantle, leave no trace. It’s shared community with rules, laws, ordinances, precepts and principles.

Crystal-refracted prisms radiate rainbows everywhere. The colors are the Ray colors stimulating creativity, beauty and balance. Hang crystals in halls, darkened corridors and corners where energy is obstructed and unmoving. Crystals in sunlight restore health and well-being, which you need.

It will be important to focus on details, to be organized and complete things. At day’s end, walk through your environments. Observe what’s out of place, astray, afoot, and generally lying about. Place everything where it belongs. Aries leaves a trail of things undone. This is natural for Aries, moving quickly, initiating each next phase, forgetting the previous one. Try this month to complete tasks as a meditation. A sense of accomplishment emerges.

Gemini and Pisces are not of this world. They never descend into physical matter, living instead in the etheric—the world of non-physical form where matter is first conceived in patterns of light. The information Geminis gather and disperse provides for others a new template of thinking resulting in new actions. Realize how important your communication is. Be aware of what you say and why, its veracity and intention. Always speak with loving kindness.

It’s important to be aware of spiritual impressions and perceptions. They come from the Soul and are directions for (y)our life. You are keenly sensitive, as is Leo, to higher unseen worlds, feelings, moods and sensations. Other signs are sensitive in different ways. Hiding under your shell does not decrease sensitivity. It’s important to capture the moments when such direction occurs. Many rely on your observations.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 Leo is the sign of creative self-identity. Leo says, “Look at the work I’ve done. Here is my creation. I am this creative self!” Do you have what you need in life? It’s important to state you r values and needs. It’s important to see the self as creative. Our imagination and visualizations express our creative selves. Give unselfishly to those appreciating you and to those in need. Use your kind heart in all matters.

You’re the heart of the Sun.

It’s important to know how your physical presence affects others. You pay attention to details, are ordered and organized. Excellent traits. Many are incapable of these gifts.

It’s good to adapt to those less able (than you). Patiently approach the world with such purpose. Do you seek perfection in all things? It’s good to understand everyone is imperfect and perfect at the same time. They are one.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 What atmosphere (architecture, behaviors) are you

Burning Man’s guiding 10 principles could define each of us, were we courageous enough to live by them: inclusion; gift-giving (unconditional); no commercialization; relying on inner resources; selfexpression; communal effort; community values; creative cooperation/ collaboration; civic responsibility for public welfare; respecting laws; respect of environment, leaving it in a better state; participation, open heart, beingness through doingness; immediacy—relating to the moment, to those around us, contact with the natural world, no barriers.

Burning Man is an ongoing work of performance art, a future creation. This year’s theme: I, Robot. sensitive to? An atmosphere of being challenged, of leadership, separation, boundaries, of music and art, of kindness, of noting details, of meditation, of beauty?

Perhaps all of these. Attempt to define which belong to you. Recognizing these tells us what impressions, moods and tones we create around us. It’s time to bring into manifestation a new self only sensed or thought about.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 Often, deep within, you realize you want to be of service. You want to speak with goodwill and kindness, extending safety and care through how you communicate. You want to improve the world, discover and share systems for the humanity’s good.

You want to link groups doing good together. You wonder how you, hermit-like, would fit into such acts of service. You assess your gifts. The New Group of World Servers is always open to those who seek to serve. It’s invisible, like you.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 I came across a quote in the book You Are a Cosmic Traveler (untranslated) by Brazilian author and spiritual teacher Trigueirinho, founder of the Figueira monastery in Brazil. The quote concerns your world service (which you are or are not aware of.) “All that you do, your entire life, is of service. Your service is invaluable. You give what others cannot. The service you give is not yours alone. It belongs to the cosmos. You are the cosmic voyager.” Sag is always on a journey, seeking to learn, to hear music, and to serve. I wanted to give you a new self-identification.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You are the ultimate earth sign. Earth is a Mystery school, one of many in the cosmos. Earth school prepares us to understand how to live in form and matter. As spirits encased in matter, often we don’t know how to behave. Having forgotten our spiritual identity, we long for it. Tending gardens, working and living in nature, helps reconnect with our innate spiritual lineage. A most important profession is the gardener, a humble work. Great teachers work quietly in gardens, as nature is the body of God.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Perhaps in your daily life you’re encountering other people’s problems, and these impact your emotional and mental field. It’s important not to shy away from these people. Instead, help them overcome and release their suffering. You have a purpose at this time while encountering intense situations. Radiate the Light of the Soul outward to these people and situations. It dissipates intensity and suffering. Others feel your service and compassion. You are a help to those in distress.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You’re not to give up your visions or goals, even though it seems a long time to manifest. Incorporate ideas from other sources, adding to the facet of the diamond that is your vision of community and village that serves, teaches and heals humanity. In the meantime, know that what is presently around you is your present community (for now).

Be fully present to it. Be for those around you a humble and kind companion. Know that we are all in training to be Hierarchy. Training amidst the burning grounds.

REAL ESTATE OF MIND

AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Provoking thought since 1990

60

I keep experiencing a sense of déjà vu lately.

Four or five times a week, I find myself in the middle of the same conversation with completely different people!

Coincidence? I think not. The scenario goes something like this: A call comes in. The person is thinking about selling their home.

They wonder whether I can come over to look at their place and give them some advice about what they may need to do to prepare it for sale.

They aren’t ready to sell yet. They’re just trying to get a better sense of what the big picture of real estate looks like. Where the market is and how much they might be able to sell for. All of this is great, of course. It’s what I do. Over the years I’ve had hundreds of these calls.

And yet, when I get there, what’s supposed to be a simple Q&A about real estate often turns into a much broader discussion about big life issues that are bouncing around in their heads. The existential dilemmas they are feeling. All the what-ifs about the future. The litany of concerns that come with aging. Their natural resistance to change. And, just how hard it is to define what quality of life really looks like.

This is the conversation that’s making the rounds out there. It’s a collective expression of a huge, silent dreaming that’s welling up from deep within the culture.

The caller is usually somewhere between 55 and 75 years old. They often have aging parents and/or kids close to graduating college.

They are wrestling with their own retirement issues. When to quit working? How to “movedown” and simplify life. Get rid of all the useless stuff in the garage. Maybe have fewer stairs and less property maintenance.

Along with all of the above comes a list complicated questions about things like: financial planning, family trusts, capital gains and property tax transfers, Medicare, Social Security and long-term care insurance.

Ultimately, all of these things relate back to home and the role it plays in our lives. For most of us, a home is the single biggest asset we’ll ever own. At the same time, it’s the physical, emotional and spiritual centering place for our lives - our refuge of safety, privacy, comfort and security. Home transitions are almost always a part of larger life transitions.

Sound familiar? Today 10,000 people in the US will turn 65. More than a few of them live in Santa Cruz. Over the next five years, that number of is going to increase dramatically as the population continues to age. And that means the conversation is going to continue….

SHOP PER SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Photographer, R. Jones Photography Hobbies: Textile/Oriental rug collector, traveling, cooking Astrological Sign: Scorpio What was your first impression of Shopper’s? I recall that it was the local place to go. Still is.They have everything that I need, and it’s all fresh. It’s mind-blowing! Shopper’s is my go-to store. I don’t like anything sitting long in my fridge, so I shop here every other day. I get these little organic carrots and it’s chomp, chomp, chomp — I go through them quickly. You prefer shopping local? Hands-down! Why are you even asking that question? I know the crew and I always run into people that I know. I have a good time here chatting with the butchers and joking with the checkers.They put up with me!

What do you like to cook? I keep it simple: Lots of fresh fish— really like Shopper’s salmon, shrimp and swordfish — plus veggies, rice and salads. Love their local organic produce. I’ll do some Mexican food with Shopper’s chicken and beef fajita mixes for lunch. Bam! It’s done in two minutes and I’ve got a great burrito! Another favorite is Pasta Mike’s— it’s the fresh stuff.You see Mike here quite a bit. It’s cool chatting with him. Shopper’s has great local products, like their salsas, guacamoles, tortillas and coffees.

They also carry Mrs. Renfro’s canned jalapeño salsa.The best! Haven’t seen it elsewhere.

What would you say to someone new to the area about Shoppers? It’s the star of the community, it brings people together. Shopper’s is the biggest small store in town. It always surprises me that I’ll find these exotic items that my girlfriend asks me to pick up for the holidays. It’s a fun store, it’s comfortable — it’s like my second home! I like the size of the market and know what’s on every aisle. Shopper’s is fast and convenient because parking is easy and the checkers and baggers are friendly and also efficient.The butchers know me and know what I like.They do their job really well. Excellent service!
