OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE When impeachment fever first started to build earlier this year, some people around here wondered where their Central Coast Congressman Jimmy Panetta stood, and why he wasn’t a more vocal supporter. That’s sort of the question that this week’s cover story originally came out of when I first discussed it with Steve Kettmann months ago. Over the course of reporting this story, Kettmann did get Panetta to talk at length about his feelings on the subject, but he did a lot more, too, broadening the scope of the story to explain how big California’s role has been in the impeachment story so far, and how this state has in many ways come to represent the primary opposition to

NOT WHITE, NOT FRAGILE

4

Re: “On White Fragility” (Letters, GT, Nov. 27) I am glad Sheila Carrillo and a “large study group of white folks” are reading White Fragility.” It’s important for “white folks” to understand their privileged status and focus on systemic racism rather than finger pointing at “racists.”

We all make assumptions, as did Ms. Carrillo. Martine is biracial. Her dad was the first African-American elected as County Superintendent of Schools in California and currently serves as president of the California Association of African-American Superintendents and Administrations.

Martine is part of a family where race and social justice are discussed regularly.

Based on assumptions, “white folks” have attempted to define her racial identity.

In high school, her white English teacher returned her paper on James Baldwin with a red circle around her phrase: “as an African-American,” adding “as a WHAT?” Assumptions cause perhaps unintentional, nevertheless hurtful micro-aggressions.

Race is complex, and “white folks” generally don’t know much about descendants of enslaved Africans.

Donald Trump’s administration.

What I think is key, though, in making this a deeper, important story for GT is that he went beyond even that, encouraging the political insiders with whom he spoke to think about the role California will play in national politics after this impeachment drama comes to an end—whatever that looks like.

In Santa Cruz Gives news, we are at press time just a few thousand dollars away from reaching our total from the entire campaign last year— and we still have about a month to go. We can get even closer to our ambitious goal for this year with an extra push this Giving Tuesday week.

It’s not just about the dollar total; we also want to bring in more donors than ever before to make this a true community-wide effort. If you’ve been thinking about helping out one of our local nonprofits, make this the week you go to santacruzgives. org and do it!

STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR

Martine’s grandparents, though light skinned, were proudly African American.

Her great-grandmother had dark skin.

“White folks” seldom understand how their whiteness and privilege have created internalized racism. Martine isn’t white, or fragile. She is comfortable talking about race and has integrity. In her professional life and as mayor, she takes seriously the responsibility to work to make things more equitable. I wonder how fragile Ms. Carrillo might be under the vitriolic, abusive attacks Martine withstands in the city council meetings.

Ms. Carrillo noted “we all operate with some level of bias and prejudice, and as long as we can’t acknowledge it within ourselves, the resulting unconscious discriminations will not be addressed.”

While it’s laudable that the “large study group of white folks” are beginning to work through their fragility, biases and assumptions, it isn’t okay to publicly judge and criticize anyone without being certain of the facts.

BREAKING NEWS: SANTA!

Now in its fourth year, the Santa Cruz Recycled Art Program (SCRAP) is an artist residency for local artists of various disciplines. It lets the six artists get creative and access to an array of materials gleaned from the waste stream at the city’s Resource Recovery Facility to convey stories of cultural behavior and environmental messages. This year’s opening reception is Friday, Dec. 8, from 5-9pm at the R. Blitzer Gallery in the Wrigley building, located at 2801 Mission St., Santa Cruz.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Hall somehow convinced the one and only Santa Claus to visit its new location at 1960 Freedom Blvd. this Sunday, Dec. 6 from 8am-noon.

Santa’s elves will be there to serve a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, sausage, fruit, and beverages. There will be live performances.

Breakfast With Santa is $6 for children and seniors and $7 for adults. Kids under 2 eat free. Holiday games, photos with Santa and build-a-gift activity are all free of charge. There will be raffle tickets and gifts to buy.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of December 4 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In composing this oracle, I have called on the unruly wisdom of Vivienne Westwood. She’s the fashion designer who incorporated the punk esthetic into mainstream styles. Here are four quotes by her that will be especially suitable for your use in the coming weeks. 1. “I disagree with everything I used to say.” 2. “The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.” 3. “Intelligence is composed mostly of imagination, insight, and things that have nothing to do with reason.” 4. “I’m attracted to people who are really true to themselves and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting.”

TAURUS Apr20–May20 “I’m drowning in the things I never told you.” Famous make-up artist Alexandra Joseph wrote that message to a companion with whom she had a complicated relationship. Are you experiencing a similar sensation, Taurus?

If so, I invite you to do something about it! The coming weeks will be a good time to stop drowning. One option is to blurt out to your ally all the feelings and thoughts you’ve been withholding and hiding. A second option is to divulge just some of the feelings and thoughts you’ve been withholding and hiding—and then monitor the results of your partial revelation. A third option is to analyze why you’ve been withholding and hiding. Is it because your ally hasn’t been receptive, or because you’re afraid of being honest? Here’s what I suggest: Start with the third option, then move onto the second.

GEMINI May21–June20 I’ve got some borderline sentimental poetry to offer you in this horoscope. It may be too mushy for a mentally crisp person like you. You may worry that I’ve fallen under the sway of sappy versions of love, rather than the snappy versions I usually favor. But there is a method in my madness: I suspect you need an emotionally suggestive nudge to fully activate your urge to merge; you require a jolt of sweetness to inspire you to go in quest of the love mojo that’s potentially available to you in abundance. So please allow your heart to be moved by the following passage from poet Rabindranath Tagore: “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars. Your world has broken upon me like a flood. The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.”

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

Try saying this, and notice how it feels: “For the next 17 days, I will make ingenious efforts to interpret my problems as interesting opportunities that offer me the chance to liberate myself from my suffering and transform myself into the person I aspire to become.” Now speak the following words and see what thoughts and sensations get triggered: “For the next 17 days, I will have fun imagining that my so-called flaws are signs of potential strengths and talents that I have not yet developed.”

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 An interviewer asked singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen if he needed to feel bothered and agitated in order to stimulate his creativity. Cohen said no. “When I get up in the morning,” he testified, “my real concern is to discover whether I’m in a state of grace.” Surprised, the interviewer asked, “What do you mean by a state of grace?” Cohen described it as a knack for balance that he called on to ride the chaos around him. He knew he couldn’t fix or banish the chaos— and it would be arrogant to try. His state of grace was more like skiing skillfully down a hill, gliding along the contours of unpredictable terrain. I’m telling you about Cohen’s definition, Leo, because I think that’s the state of grace you should cultivate right now. I bet it will stimulate your creativity in ways that surprise and delight you.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Poet Juan Felipe Herrera praises the value of making regular efforts to detox our cluttered minds. He says that one of the best methods for accomplishing this cleansing is to daydream. You give yourself permission to indulge in uncensored, unabashed fantasies. You feel

no inhibition about envisioning scenes that you may or may not ever carry out in real life. You understand that this free-form play of images is a healing joy, a gift you give yourself. It’s a crafty strategy to make sure you’re not hiding any secrets from yourself. Now is a favorable time to practice this art, Virgo.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 In accordance with current astrological omens, here’s your meditation, as articulated by the blogger named Riverselkie: “Let your life be guided by the things that produce the purest secret happiness, with no thought to what that may look like from the outside. Feed the absurd whims of your soul and create with no audience in mind but yourself. What is poignant to you is what others will be moved by, too. Embrace what you love about yourself and the right people will come.”

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “I swear I became a saint from waiting,” wrote Scorpio poet Odysseus Elytis in his poem “Three Times the Truth.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you may be in a similar situation. And you’ll be wise to welcome the break in the action and abide calmly in the motionless lull. You’ll experiment with the hypothesis that temporary postponement is best not just for you, but for all concerned.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “My greatest asset is that I am constantly changing,” says Sagittarian actress and activist Jane Fonda. This description may not always be applicable to you, but I think it should be during the coming weeks. You’re primed to thrive on a robust commitment to self-transformation. As you proceed in your holy task, keep in mind this other advice from Fonda. 1. “One part of wisdom is knowing what you don’t need anymore and letting it go.” 2. “It is never too late to master your weaknesses.” 3. “If you allow yourself, you can become stronger in the very places that you’ve been broken.”

4. “The challenge is not to be perfect. It’s to be whole.”

P.S. And what does it mean to be whole? Be respectful toward all your multiple facets, and welcome them into the conversation you have about how to live.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 You can’t escape your past completely. You can’t loosen its hold on you so thoroughly that it will forever allow you to move with limitless freedom into the future. But you definitely have the power to release yourself from at least a part of your past’s grip. And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do just that: to pay off a portion of your karmic debt and shed worn-out emotional baggage.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Aquarian playwright August Strindberg didn’t have much interest in people who “regurgitate what they have learned from books.” He was bored by stories that have been told over and over again; was impatient with propaganda disguised as information and by sentimental platitudes masquerading as sage insights. He craved to hear about the unprecedented secrets of each person’s life: the things they know and feel that no one else knows and feels. He was a student of “the natural history of the human heart.” I bring Strindberg’s perspective to your attention, my dear one-of-a-kind Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to fully embody it.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 “It’s no fun being in love with a shadow,” wrote Piscean poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. And yet she indulged profusely in that no-fun activity, and even capitalized on it to create a number of decent, if morose, poems. But in alignment with your astrological omens, Pisces, I’m going to encourage you to fall out of love with shadows.

The coming weeks will be an excellent time to channel your passions into solid realities: to focus your ardor and adoration on earthly pleasures and practical concerns and imperfect but interesting people.

Homework: Evil is boring. Rousing fear is a hackneyed shtick.

enabling freight trains over passenger service! Years ago, while traveling throughout Switzerland and countries that put our transportation to shame, I envisioned passenger train systems simultaneously providing express and local functions.

Unfortunately, constraints—including only allowing single-tracking over the 32-mile Santa Cruz County corridor— makes proper commuter rail impossible.

Why wait until at least 2035 for something everyone would regret? (As a practical

engineer, I know what is bunk and what will work.) Incorporating new existing Metro electric buses instead can provide ASOG, safe and efficient mass-transportation, cost-effectively (bicyclists and those on foot can also be accommodated 24/7).

We need a government with genuine common sense leaders who truly understand that they were entrusted to work for the people, not for-profit corporations or only for themselves.

COUNTER ARGUMENT Santa Cruz City Councilmember Drew Glover tried unsuccessfully to get his colleagues to avoid certifying the recall, which will be on the March 3 ballot. PHOTO: TARMO HANNULA

Controversy—and a new candidate—as recall election heads to March 3 ballot BY JACOB PIERCE

F

ive months after an effort to recall two Santa Cruz city councilmen went public, the City Council has voted to certify the results and officially send the matter to the ballot after recall organizers met the threshold for petition signatures.

The latest step will raise four new questions for Santa Cruz city voters to answer on their March 3 ballots. First, voters will have the opportunity to recall either or both Glover and Krohn. Voters will also get to weigh in on who they would like to replace the councilmembers in the event that either does get recalled. Candidates interested in

replacing Glover or Krohn will be able to run for either race, but not for both of them. The filing deadline for new candidates is Thursday, Dec. 19.

The recall has been controversial.

Last month, Lee Brokaw, a supporter of Glover and Krohn, filed a complaint against the recall campaign with California Secretary of State Alex Padilla’s office.

Recall organizers began officially collecting signatures for the effort this past June. Glover, who was elected last year, and Krohn, who was elected in 2016, have both faced scrutiny for issues including their support of a homeless encampment

and their conduct at the city. The two hold down the most liberal wing of Santa Cruz’s all-Democrat City Council. A big part of the recall campaign going forward will be that City Council meetings have been “just chaos” lately, organizer Dan Coughlin says.

But in his complaint, Brokaw, a general contractor, cites various alleged instances where recall signature gatherers either misrepresented themselves or lied in order to get voters to sign—including allegations that GT has reported (“Out Lying,” 10/16). “I’d never done anything like this before,” he says.

“I’m a builder, not a lawyer.” >12

Helping students scale a rock face or backpack through the wilderness is just a typical day at the office for Mountains 2 Sea co-founders Jamey and Brian King.

Through its year-round program, the Santa Cruz nonprofit takes youth ages 15-19 on about 30 outdoor adventures annually. That includes sailing trips, hikes and environmental stewardship activities, like cleaning up beaches, soil sampling and planting native species.

“We use outdoor activities as a catalyst to really help the kids challenge themselves and find some new self-confidence,” Brian explains. He says that while the outdoor excursions are fun, they’re about more than just adventure. “Our real goal is to help them find compassion for themselves, which leads to compassion for others, and then compassion for the environment.”

Mountains 2 Sea is participating this year in Santa Cruz Gives, the community fundraising drive sponsored by GT that helps support local nonprofits during the holiday season. Mountains 2 Sea is one of 19 education-based organizations participating this year. The group gets a small program fee—usually less than 10% of its total budget—from participating schools, and it relies heavily on fundraising for the rest.

The Kings, who both have backgrounds in classroom teaching, focus their program on helping youth who come from difficult, often-traumatic home lives. To help students open up, each weekly lesson begins with an emotional well-being checkin. Students share warm drinks, like tea or hot coco, while setting intentions for the day and sharing experiences.

“This honestly is one of the most impactful parts of our day,” says Jamey. “It can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour.”

Each nonprofit participating in Santa Cruz Gives has a “big idea” that its fundraising haul will support. Mountains 2 Sea is raising money to help fund six sailing adventures and three rock-climbing excursions.

Brokaw has not heard back from the secretary of state.

Former Mayor Mike Rotkin, a veteran of local political campaigns, says his guess is that Padilla’s office is not going to get involved, and he insists he doesn’t say that out of animus or any sense of partisanship.

“They have other fish to fry, but we’ll

see,” Rotkin says. “I don’t know many campaigns that everyone agrees it was so clean. Everyone always thinks the other side is scum.”

Rotkin has also never heard of anyone local filing an election complaint with the secretary of state.

Complaints with the Fair and Political Practices Commission (FPPC) are more common. He says that an FPPC complaint has probably been filed

for one race or another in just about every election since 1970—and often, no one hears a determination on the investigation. (According to the secretary of state’s website, there’s a broad swath of campaign law, and these particular sorts of allegations involving unscrupulous signature gatherers do go to the secretary of state, not the FPPC.) As it happens, Rotkin says >14

NUZ COLUMN OUT The Santa Cruz Sentinel’s website has a feature that has left some readers—Nuz included—scratching their heads.

Most pages on the Sentinel’s site display a column featuring the eight stories that are supposedly the “Most Popular” at that time. The list usually contains at least one headline that seems out of place, like “BREAKING NEWS: Man found dead at Santa Cruz Harbor.”

What’s so weird about that headline, you ask? Well, if you clicked on that link when it was among the site’s most popular stories a couple months back, it would have directed you to a four-paragraph article from 11 years ago about a man being found dead in a coastal parking lot. This begs the question: How does an 111-word staff report get to be the most read story on the Sentinel, as it supposedly was one day in September? Certainly not because of the depth of its reporting. And it wouldn’t make sense for the ranking to have come from any boost in search engine results or social media, either. It that were the case, the story would have stayed in the queue for longer or rotated back in again at some point. And it’s odd to think that so many readers would suddenly get interested in what’s essentially a police press release from

2009—and all of them at the same time.

This happens with very old Sentinel stories pretty much every day. Some of the “most popular” stories are seemingly random dispatches, often with salacious headlines about murders and other frightening events from long ago. It’s anyone’s guess why this carousel of crazy-old stories keeps moving, although Nuz is happy to bat around theories. Is the Sentinel—which is run by an uber-capitalist, profit-hoarding hedge fund— manipulating its back-end algorithms or cherry-picking old stories to get more clicks?

In the interest of cutting costs, did the paper hire a 3-year-old to run its website?

Nuz acknowledges that this isn’t the most pressing matter facing the Sentinel these days.

The bigger story, of course, is that the already thinly staffed paper saw four writers and editors leave this year, and hasn’t replaced any of them… and that the entire operation at this point is held together by a mixture of spit and twine and by the experience of its longesttenured reporters Nicholas Ibarra and Jessica York… aaaannndd that the paper isn’t running editorials anymore.

Pretty much the only positive cut they’ve made is axing their crazy, vitriol-driven comments section online, although we do kinda miss watching activist Steve Trujillo graciously try to

shout down right-wing trolls like a birthday kid pounding away at an arcade Whack-aMole game.

WELL OK, THEN Nuz is officially pretty sure it’s a good thing that Santa Cruz is not building a desal plant, an idea city leaders tabled in the face of environmental opposition six years ago.

Not only do new regulations place tighter rules on the seawater intakes, but also the California Coastal Commission has spent the last couple months throwing sand in the approval processes of the of the Monterey desal plant. And meanwhile, a water facility in Morro Bay that does have Coastal Commission approval has run into problems with U.S. Fish and Wildlife.

But it’s worth noting that, in Santa Cruz County, many desal opponents did also oppose a Soquel Creek Water District project to pump highly treated recycled water into the aquifer in order to rest the area’s wells.

That project is happening, and it was recently awarded a $50 million grant. So local plans for indirect potable reuse are looking better than ever.

SNOOZE, YA LOSE The recent petition asking Santa Cruz city councilmembers to sleep outside before taking a vote on homelessness was almost funny. Almost…

This sarcasm masquerading as politics is beyond pointless— it’s unhelpful. It is the local equivalent of the satirical presidential campaign signs from three years ago that read, “Giant Meteor 2016.” Cuz, haha, we would all rather see the world end than compromise on any of our political beliefs, get it? Ugh. (With the benefit of hindsight, most rational voters would agree that the lapsed hypothetical of a Hillary Clinton presidency doesn’t really sound all that bad.) The point is that it’s easy for us all to troll and make cynical jokes about government all day. The danger in that is that, if we’re not careful, we’ll lose sight of solving our problems. And by the way, some of the really big problems shouldn’t even be all that difficult to actually make some progress on.

In any case, the local petition did get some attention, and Councilmember Drew Glover announced that he did, in fact, take the bait opportunity to spend a night on the streets.

And then he took to social media—telling both Facebook followers and the Twitterverse about his experience. He tagged two reporters, three news organizations (including GT), the ACLU and Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

“Nice that you did this, but then tag the press??” one follower responded. “Not being a humble servant, but a politician indeed!”

particular creates the opportunity for the students to learn how to work as a team. “Every time we go out, the students prepare, rig and even drive the boat,” she says. “That requires high levels of communication and working together.”

During the climbing excursions, students receive safety lessons, earn belay certifications, and practice at the local climbing gym Pacific Edge before taking their skills to Castle Rock State Park. Jamey notes that for many students, trusting others can be difficult. Climbing lets them practice trusting their belayer, who controls the climbing rope, with their lives.

The nonprofit also helps students get to know the surrounding ecosystems in Santa Cruz County. “Land and access to parks should not be a privilege,” says Brian. “I really believe that students will be healthier and families will be happier if they just

understand how to access the land.”

Having a chance to unplug and unwind during outings, all of which are devicefree, also helps students focus on regular classroom studies, Brian says. “Nature has this way of bringing your anxiety down. It’s calming and it’s a slower pace than our technological-driven lives,” he says. “After getting them out for the day, they would come back to the classroom a little more ready to learn or able to process a little more of their lives.”

That sentiment is shared by the Bird School Project, another local nonprofit participating in this year’s Santa Cruz Gives. The group works with more than 3,000 middle school-aged students each year, teaching them about the values of birding and environmental awareness.

“Our general mission is to inspire and equip both students and teachers to love, study and steward their local environment,” says Kevin Condon, co-founder and executive director of the Bird School Project.

Rather than taking students on field trips, the Bird School Project focuses primarily on introducing students to their own campuses.

To do this, instructors lead students through birding lessons in their schoolyards.

“The main goal is to show the students that you don’t have to go far to experience nature and start developing a connection,” says Condon, “We really aim to have it be a part of their science class and their schoolyards.”

During lessons, students learn how to use a field guide, identify local birds, record their findings and relax in their local environment.

“Being an adolescent person is a distracting time. There’s so much going on socially for these students,” he says.

“Getting them outside and getting them in a space where they can be undistracted, even just for an hour, to me that feels like the most important part of what we do.”

many have been asking him to run again for the council, in light of the recall. “I’m not interested, and I’m not running,” he says.

As far as GT has been able to confirm, the race has only one official candidate so far: school teacher Renee Golder, who served on the Public Safety Task Force in 2013.

Golder plans on running for Glover’s seat. Of the two potential openings, that slot would cover a longer timeframe, with the term expiring in December 2022.

Former Los Gatos City Manager Greg Larson—a candidate in last year’s council race, whose name had been floated as a possible candidate this time around—says he will not run. Former Councilmember Micah Posner says he won’t, either.

Former Mayor Don Lane says he’s considering a run for the Krohn’s seat, which would last through the end of 2020. Lane, who retired from politics in 2016, says he would not be interested in serving a term longer than that. Other potential candidates did not respond to GT’s inquiries.

According to a Santa Cruz city agenda report, the election’s estimated cost will be between $79,382 and $158,764—or $2-4 per voter.

At the Tuesday, Nov. 26, City Council meeting, Glover argued unsuccessfully that the council should decline to rubber-stamp recall results. That would have forced the county elections clerk to certify the recall instead.

Glover called on any one of his colleagues, “not being targeted by the recall” to make that motion. That prompted a long pause from the rest of the council. Councilmember Sandy Brown felt that, although she’s had concerns about the recall process, she wasn’t sure that it would be right for the city to sidestep its responsibility to put the vote on the ballot. She said she wouldn’t make the motion. After another pause, Vice Mayor Cummings made a motion to accept the staff recommendation to place the item on the ballot. It passed 4-3 with, Glover, Krohn and Brown dissenting.

Coughlin says he doesn’t fault Glover for trying to get the council to vote differently. If Glover had been successful, >16

Coughlin argues, the councilman could have used the vote to delegitimize the whole recall process. “I thought it was a good political move on his part,” says Coughlin.

Coughlin says he has actually met with Glover and gotten to know him— and that he harbors no ill-will toward him, as Glover’s doing what he said he would do on the campaign trail.

“He’s doing what he said he was gonna do, and so I actually don’t dislike him,” Coughlin says. “He’s representing the folks he said he was going to represent. It’s just that I totally have a different philosophical, political position than he does.”

Coughlin says conversations about starting the recall went back to early 2019, which was shortly after Glover took office. That was when the council was considering passing a controversial just-cause eviction ordinance similar to the rent control measure that had been soundly defeated at the ballot a mere two months earlier.

In the middle of the campaign, the city released an investigation into the conduct of Glover and Krohn— substantiating claims that each had violated the city’s Respectful Workplace Conduct policy. Santa Cruz city employees increasingly started signing onto petitions after that, Coughlin says.

Some supporters of Krohn and Glover paint the effort to remove two councilmembers as part of a larger trend of right-wing groups across the country using recalls as coordinated attacks on more liberal politicians.

Environmental activist Rick Longinotti, for instance, emailed GT articles about Republicans leveraging the tool to try and get back power in Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, and California.

Coughlin says that the recall campaign hasn’t coordinated with any political group, including the Santa Cruz County Republican Party.

The political makeup of those who signed their names, he adds, roughly matches that of Santa Cruz.

“I don’t know of anyone who identifies as right-wing that was heavily involved in the recall,” he says.

Golden Gatekeepers Central Coast Congressman Jimmy Panetta and other insiders on how California will lead the way in the post-impeachment era

orget the prognostications. It’s anyone’s guess at this point how Donald Trump’s upcoming impeachment will play out, or how it may shape next year’s circusatmosphere national elections, but one important dynamic has already emerged unmistakably: Trump’s impeachment currently unfolding in Washington is a largely Californian-driven undertaking, which is why it has succeeded so far where other moves to hold “Teflon Don” accountable have fallen short.

In one recent poll, 70% of those surveyed across the country found it “wrong” that the president hijacked U.S. aid to our key ally Ukraine to serve his personal interests.

In the same poll, a majority (51%) favored impeachment and removal from office. Polls will bounce around, and the right-wing media machine will spin, but it’s unlikely any of that can stop Trump from being impeached in the House and landing in a Senate impeachment trial, at the very least. As the headline on a recent column by the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank put it, “Republicans Have a New Enemy: Truth Itself.”

“These facts are going to stand the test of time,” Eric Swalwell, the East Bay Congressman who sits on both the House Intelligence and House Judiciary Committee, recently told GT. “It’s just a matter of, at this moment, will they stand the test of courage for Republicans? No president has had more damning facts raised about his conduct than

Donald Trump. I’m confident. I know who we are as a country. I know we will come out of this dark time that he’s set upon us, and I know that our children and grandchildren will look back on the people who tried to hold him accountable and bring light to our democracy.

It’s just a question of: Which part of the effort do you want to be associated with?”

California has played a big role in the impeachment proceedings, and California will also be called upon to lead the way in the post-impeachment era, whatever that ends up looking like.

“Nothing defines this presidency better than Mr. Trump’s war with California,” Clay Risen—deputy editor of the New York Times op-ed page and author of the new book The Crowded Hour, about Theodore Roosevelt—told GT. “California is arguably the most progressive state in America, and it’s also arguably the most powerful, so it was inevitable that the state would clash with such an extremely conservative White House. Even setting aside the unique conflict around impeachment, as well as Mr. Trump’s singular need to personalize his political fights and demonize his political enemies, we’d still be witnessing an epic clash between such a diverse, environmentally forward state and any president with such an extreme deregulatory agenda and racist immigration policy.”

PUT TO THE TESTIMONY Panetta is impressed with how California Congressman Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, has handled the impeachment hearings.

< 20

PANETTA ON PELOSI Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, another Northern Californian, has consistently been underestimated, but she has proven a worthy foil to Trump. She enraged many by resisting an impeachment inquiry, but moved on her own schedule with impeccable timing, according to some fellow Democrats.

“Her political acumen is like no other,” Central Coast Congressman Jimmy Panetta told GT by phone.

“I really don’t think there could be another Democrat who could handle the extreme left in our party and also smack down Donald Trump as she’s been doing. She knows Donald Trump, and that’s why she can get under his skin by just being herself. She’s so politically in tune with people. She understands that Donald Trump has a fear of being exposed that he’s in over his head as

president of the United States.”

The knife edge of the impeachment effort has been California Congressman Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, whose unflappability in the glare of the impeachment hearings has stood out all the more when juxtaposed with the sulky fury and bizarre pushing of debunked conspiracy theories by bizarro-world opposite, Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, whose Central California district includes Fresno. Nunes went from widespread ridicule—“Devin Nunes Accuses Witnesses of Misleading American People With Facts” was the satirical headline of an Andy Borowitz New Yorker piece—to accusations, just as the hearings were wrapping up, that he’s actually implicated in the Ukraine shakedown scandal himself. As Charlie Pierce wrote at Esquire.com, “Lev Parnas, one of Rudy Giuliani’s Volga Bagmen who now sits under federal indictment, has indicated that he can put Rep. Devin Nunes, the famous White House lawn

ornament, in the middle of the effort to concoct the Ukrainian Fantasy about the ratfucking of the 2016 election.”

Nunes, along with Kevin McCarthy the leaders of a shrinking-beforeour-eyes, all-in-on-Trumpism California Republican delegation, both led the party strategy of turning the hearings into a sideshow—the weirder and crazier, apparently, the better. (I kept waiting for Nunes to return from one of his frequent restroom breaks and start juggling flaming torches as he played the kazoo.) The strategy may have had short-term benefits, at least when it came to easily led media types eager to demonstrate that they themselves could be manipulated, but dangerous in that it left an opening for Schiff, by contrast, to come across as serious and trustworthy, willing to let the facts speak for themselves.

“I’m very pleased that the investigation into the Ukrainian phone call is under the authority of chairman Schiff,” says Panetta, himself a former prosecutor. “I’ve had a lot of conversations about this with him. He looks at cases like a prosecutor. He makes sure we put all the evidence out there upon which the American people, and Congress, can make a decision.”

Not only is Jimmy Panetta the son of former Defense Secretary and California Congressman Leon Panetta, he’s also married to Carrie McIntyre Panetta, a Monterey County Superior Court Judge.

“It’s easy to be a good prosecutor when you have the evidence,” says Jimmy Panetta. “That combined with Schiff's amazing knowledge of the law and a very cool demeanor is a very good combination. It reminds me of my wife, who is a judge; she understands the law and she understands people. Schiff did a great job running that hearing, pushing back on the Republican theatrics, and making sure the evidence is getting out there from the witnesses, not from the Republican members. Let’s help the American people rely on what the witnesses said, not the screaming

and yelling of the Republicans on the committee.”

BEYOND IMPEACHMENT Californians like to cut through the fog to form a clear view of the future. This state has led the way often enough that it’s a responsibility and a duty of Californians to continue to look for ways forward, some of which will succeed, and some will fail. But we can confront the future not with fear or anger, but with optimism and hope and belief in the power of bringing diverse people together to forge a stronger whole.

We in California have played an outsized role in counterbalancing Trumpism, and we will also play an outsized role in helping lead the way toward a new post-Trump world.

Let’s be very clear: This will be hard, very hard. Trumpism played off of–and magnified–weaknesses of human character, the ease with which some are seduced by power, and the the terrifying ease with which hate and recrimination can take over any conversation.

The healing and rebuilding need to start even before Trump and the presidency are, somehow, disentangled.

“People need to understand that yes, our democracy is based on our values, but it’s left up to people to implement those values,” says Panetta. “It’s left up to moral people, people who have the morality to push these values forward. As we go forward, as we act and work with each other, in Congress but also in our society, we have to realize that … this is a democracy that’s about relationships and about trust, and we have to work on that.”

Swalwell believes Panetta will be a big part of that. “My respect for Jimmy is rooted in his service to the community as a trusted prosecutor, to the country as a solider, and now to the Congress as an advocate for bipartisan collaboration,” says Swalwell. “I’ve known him as he’s worked in all three roles, and think very highly of him.”

< 24 post-Trump recovery will have to start at a grassroots, interpersonal level, Panetta says. “Yes, it can be difficult with technology where people can sit at their desks and send out a social-media post and not see that reaction from another person that yes, you’re being offensive,” he says. “It takes actually getting out and looking people eye to eye and talking to them.

I think there needs to be a little more humility in how we conduct ourselves, not just in Congress, but in our society. There has to be a continuing curiosity about people … Ideally you want people to get out from their computers, get out from their Twitter and Facebook accounts, and make sure they actually get in front of people: Have the fortitude to look someone in the eye and actually say something, whether it be positive or negative.”

The challenge is always to keep people interested and engaged between elections, not just every four years. Looking ahead to 2020, Swalwell sees a political earthquake.

“There is going to be a reckoning at the ballot box regardless of what happens on impeachment, and I think it will cascade after that,” Swalwell said. “As a Californian, I know personally what Prop. 187 did to the Republican Party in California.

They have not climbed out of that hole, for the way they treated immigrants, particularly of Hispanic descent, and look at the delegation they now have in Congress. In the upcoming national elections, those that sought to be Donald Trump’s public defenders are not going to be around much longer in public life.”

It was telling during the recent televised impeachment hearings how often Republican defenders resorted to yelling, interrupting and various other antics. A political science professor at Berkeley taught me years ago that you could learn a lot about a presidential debate by turning off the sound. Who looks calm and collected?

Who makes good eye contact? Who comes off as sweaty and nervous?

Who seems intent on distraction?

Who has worked himself up into such a state of actual or fake anger that he

barely listens to a word anyone says to him?

A great fight lies ahead to mobilize and bring about the electoral defeat of Trumpism, whether the orange one himself is actually a candidate next year, or Nikki Haley or someone of her ilk runs as a Trumpist candidate, but it’s a fight we now know we can win–the first step toward undoing the damage of these years, and looking for new ways to bring people together.

We also need to point the way forward—as California has been doing, but especially needs to do now, above all by tackling its own problems, which are epic, and making the most of its best qualities, like diversity and a flair for innovation. As I wrote in a June 2018 New York Times piece: “In the Trump era, the state is reinventing itself as the moral and cultural center of a new America.”

It now falls to us to challenge ourselves to do better in that role of leadership, both in terms of solving our own problems so we can serve as role models and in being vocal and active, without falling back on easy answers or old pieties. We no longer have the luxury of the smugness this state has developed a reputation for, and I say this as a fifth-generation Californian, the descendent of 49ers and Spanish colonialists.

We don’t have to meet anger with anger, or insult with insult. We just have stick up for California values – from innovation to respect for diversity to commitment to fighting climate change, even with bold steps like mandating all new homes be solarequipped. As I wrote in the Times, “California doesn’t just oppose Mr. Trump; it offers a better alternative to the America he promises.”

View to a Hill

A Q&A with Congressman Jimmy Panetta about legislative priorities, supporting impeachment and more BY STEVE KETTMANN You’re well known in the House for your work to build bridges between Republicans and Democrats, generally a thankless task in today’s Washington.

For example, you joined with Republican Congressmen Don Bacon and Michael Walz to found the For Country Caucus to advocate for veterans in a nonpartisan way. Has the group made any progress?

CONGRESSMAN JIMMY PANETTA: In November, the U.S. Global Leadership Conference honored us and Speaker Nancy Pelosi. These are the types of caucuses that unfortunately people don’t hear about, but when they do hear about it, they give us a standing ovation.

People are yearning to hear about people working together and being civil toward one another. Our constituents want us to continue to sit down at the table, stay at the table, get things done, and do it together. I hear that over and over.

Recently the caucus went out as a group and regraveled and landscaped the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington as a show of respect for veterans of that war. Earlier, we did the same for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

For Country Caucus so far has no legislative accomplishments, but it is a bipartisan group building the types of relationships that can help us get things done. Why do you have to have relationships? Because of trust. Trust is the foundation of how you get things done. You can’t just come in here and yell and scream.

You’re not here to make a point.

You’re here to make a difference.

You’ve worked on several green bills, including one to support zero-emission buses. Where does that bill—and others— stand?

We just dropped that to be a part of a package in Ways and Means,

the green bus tax credit. It is a slow process—welcome to our democracy—but we joined that together with a bunch of other tax credit bills for this type of renewable energy and we’ll … probably vote on it in the New Year. The bottling up is not in the House of Representatives, since we’ve passed over 500 bills. It’s in the Senate with them not acting on anything.

People need to know that we are getting our job done. I didn’t realize how much people didn’t know about the legislation we had done until the Gilroy shooting. My daughter and I were there, and thank goodness, we left three hours before the shooting.

After that I heard, “What have you done?” It’s amazing how many people don’t know we passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, and it’s stalled in the Senate.

Did you have a hard time deciding to support impeachment?

I based my decision on the way I looked at cases as a prosecutor.

In order to make a decision on something as serious as impeaching the president of the United States, you need facts. I was always in support of investigating the facts upon which we could make so serious a decision. That’s why I respect Speaker Pelosi for having that attitude that it was about the facts.

These facts hadn’t come out. That’s why I wasn’t screaming and ranting and yelling about impeachment. First of all, that’s not my style. If you’re talking about the impeachment of the president, that’s very serious.

That’s not something where you stand up and yell at a fundraiser, “Let’s impeach the mf-er!”

As if to provide a U-turn from that inevitability, more than 20 speakers will gather at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz on Dec. 7 in a TEDx presentation called The Art of Hope. The day-long event is designed not as a pep rally or a

In this case, those ideas deal with community engagement and political activism in the face of climate change and other looming threats.

Among the speakers at the event will be novelist Jonathan Franzen, who captured the tone of the debate about hope and climate change in a recent New Yorker piece titled “What If We Stopped Pretending?” Also on board are bestselling writer Lara Love Hardin, County Supervisor Ryan Coonerty, UCSC evolutionary biologist Barry Sinervo, and activist Sara Nelson, the co-founder and executive director of the Santa Cruz-based Romero Institute.

Nelson, who has been organizing and mobilizing on social justice issues for 40 years with the Christic Institute, will focus her talk on ongoing activism to address climate change, specifically the outline of the proposed California Green New Deal, which her organization is helping to sketch.

“I’m very concerned about this issue of despair and hopelessness, inaction and apathy,” she says. “I’m seeing it in people I talk to. And as the climate impacts continue to escalate—and they will—people are going to get really rattled.”

The only way to escape that despair and the tragic consequences of apocalyptic climate change is, says Nelson, to engage in focused, energetic, determined activism.

The goal of the California Green New Deal, she says, is to work on both ends of the spectrum, drafting legislation at the state level and doing community activism on the grassroots level.

“We have to get together and we have to do this,” Nelson says. “I have a deep faith in the American people being able to do things like this.

What’s that old saying? Americans are like a sleeping giant. If they wake up, watch out, because they’ll get it done.”

Coonerty, a former Santa Cruz mayor, hosts a podcast called An Honorable Profession that talks to prominent political leaders on the local and state level. His talk at the event will aim to convince people that while national politics seem to be little more than a chaotic food fight, politics in cities, towns

and counties across the country are experiencing something of a Renaissance.

“The strange thing is that while things are deteriorating at the federal level, it’s created an opportunity, and a necessity, for local governments to step into the void of leadership,” says Coonerty.

“And many people are. That’s a good story that needs to be told.”

The news media, focused on conflict and controversy, is generally not telling the stories of people at lower levels of government working for positive change, says Coonerty. Dismissive attacks on Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for his role as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, he says, tend to overlook political reality.

“Most people in the country live in a place like South Bend,” he says.

“Regardless of how the election turns out, I hope people recognize that those places are where the election and policies are going to be won or lost.”

Barry Sinervo, who has presented at TEDx before, has been intimately facing the questions of existential hope and despair on two fronts. As a biologist studying lizard populations around the world (he’s known at UCSC as “Doctor Lizardo”), he has seen mass extinction up close and harbors no illusions about its devastation. For the past four years, he’s also been battling an aggressive form of cancer that has brought him face to face with his own mortality. Despite his struggles on both fronts (or maybe because of them), he’s also been doing stand-up comedy on the side.

“I used to think tragedy and comedy were opposites,” Sinervo told me the day before he was to endure his 13th cancer surgery. “They aren’t opposites. That’s very clear to me now, having gone through the global catastrophe and my own. It’s out of tragedy that we gain hope. I really do have hope to see the carbon curve bending, flattening, and then go down, if I live to see it.”

‘The Art of Hope’ will be presented by TED-x Santa Cruz from 9am-5pm on Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets $75 general/$35 students with valid ID. tedxsc19.eventbrite.com.

After breaking through with upbeat ukulele tunes on YouTube, Julia Nunes digs deep on darker new record BY AARON CARNES

D

uring one of the recording sessions for Julia Nunes’ latest album Ughwow, her producer Shruti Kumar put her in a room with a microphone that had lots of washed-out echoing and reverb effects. Kumar told her to make noises—not even music, just noise.

“It was a huge wall of sound,” Nunes recalls. “I’ve never done anything like that. I pulled out whatever I felt, and it builds and comes in and out. It was true trial and error.”

The resulting song, “Not True,” is one of the singer’s most emotional

efforts. A melancholy breakup tale, it’s a far cry from her breakthrough a decade ago, when she went viral strumming feel-good ukulele songs YouTube. This new record is a dark, R&B-infused pop record. As she sings “I could have sworn that my whole life was leading up to you,” she sounds like the saddest version of herself.

Those visceral non-singing sounds are in the background, punctuating the emotion of the song and creating stronger dynamics as they weave in and out. It’s subtle, but it makes what could have been a straightforward

ballad into something much bigger and more heart wrenching.

Nunes hadn’t expected to dive into this kind of experimentation for Ughwow. In January 2017, with demos ready for the record, she launched a Kickstarter campaign and thought that in a year, she’d have a complete album recorded, packaged and shipped.

Instead, the album took two-and-ahalf years to complete.

“It was a rough go. It had a lot to do with where my life was at,” Nunes says. “I was not doing great. Once I failed the deadline, I woke up failing

every day. It wasn’t fun.”

It wasn’t just personal life struggles that delayed the album; she was also trying to broaden her musical palette.

She wanted to move away from the ukulele-based songs she was known for, and had stepped away from that sound for a few songs on her previous record, Some Feelings. She liked those the best, so when she recorded demos for Ughwow, she set aside the ukulele and wrote mostly a capella.

“With every record, I step further out of my comfort zone,” Nunes says. “It’s what made figuring out production so hard, because I had nothing to go off of. I would just have new ideas for the melody, and then want to change it. I could never be sure it was the right thing.”

She eventually hooked up with Kumar as her producer, which gave her focus. But it also meant being open to endless experimentation until the right version of a song emerged.

She recorded as many as 20 different versions for some songs—sometimes slight variations, others completely overhauled with flipped beats or completely reworked production.

Nunes decided she needed to be honest with her Kickstarter backers by giving them private updates on her personal life and the state of the album, so that they didn’t feel cut out of the process. They were really supportive, she says.

As far back as her first album, Nunes discovered that with Kickstarter, she could raise as much money as labels were offering her, but retain full control over the finished product.

“I think of Kickstarter as my record label. I think it’s really important to maintain total creative control and to have a direct relationship with my fans,” Nunes says. “I get offers every so often from record labels, and it always comes with caveats. I put my life into the music, and I don’t want anyone else to be able to control it.”

Julia Nunes performs at 8pm on Tuesday, Dec. 10, at Felton Music Hall, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15 adv/$20 door.

The Gift of Art? (Framing Time!)

Remember how much fun it was in grade school when you got to do art? Wasn’t it a great feeling? How about giving that feeling to someone else as a present? And it’s a fantastic way to take your mind off of work or things you want to briefly escape from.

There’s still time for your holiday framing, but don’t procrastinate—our custom framing department will only get busier the closer it gets to Christmas! See you soon!

Andy’s Corner

Merry Christmas! The great thing about being a practicing artist is that you can give a gift that no one else can give because as artists, in giving artwork, we are giving a part of us. The individual artist is just that—a unique individual who makes art like no other. So if you take the time, your art will be a unique creation that cannot no t be duplicated by anyone else in the world. So enjoy doing and enjoy giving! The BEST Christmas to you!

MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Lenzes and crew!

—Andy Lenz

LIGHTED BOAT PARADE

WEDNESDAY 12/4

This is perhaps the most lit holiday event of the year. Local mariners decorate their boats with lights and holiday decorations and parade them across the harbor for your oohing and aahing pleasure. The event will happen rain or shine, so grab a hot chocolate and a blanket and get there early for a good seat. The parade can be viewed from either side of the harbor, so feel free to stroll along the channel, too.

Parking is extremely limited, so biking or carpooling is encouraged.

TANNERY WINTER ART MARKET

S.C.R.A.P OPENING RECEPTION

The Tannery is one of the most creative hubs in the county, and their Winter Arts Market is a prime example. The annual event features 20 Tannery studios and dozens of artists, including ceramicists, jewelers, sculptors, and embroiderers, each selling one-of-a-kind gifts for the holidays. There’s something for everyone at this one-stop shop, so why not invest in local arts while getting your holiday shopping done early?

Sometimes, the best art materials aren’t sold in stores. In the annual Santa Cruz Recycled Art Project (SCRAP), local artists collect materials from the dump to repurpose into art. This year’s project includes six residents who have embraced the interactive and humorous altar to “Sapiens” through video, photography, assemblage art, a tiny house, giant Pick Up-Sticks, jewelry and an alchemist’s library of tar paper books.

Artwork ranges from the poignant— exploring themes of housing and homelessness in our cultural worship of consumption—to the more ethereal and fun, like a “dump dollar store.”

Exhibit runs through Saturday, Dec. 28.

10am-5pm. The Tannery Arts Center, 1010 River St., Santa Cruz. tanneryartscenter.org.

Free.

CAPITOLA MALL Join Artists as they teach classes and demonstrate their crafts at a free event every First Thursday at Art of Santa Cruz art gallery located inside Capitola Mall. Free entertainment, free refreshments, free raffle. 5:30pm. Capitola Mall, 1855 41st Ave., Capitola.

Powerful social forces are in motion, and everyone is altered by them. Despair seems pervasive, and yet joy persists.

Chekhov makes each of his characters simultaneously likable and infuriating, credible and foolish. It was his great gift as a writer to make each life in his plays complex, vivid, and necessary. 8pm. Mountain Community Theater/Park Hall, 9400 Mill St., Ben Lomond.

LOCAL BAND

JOSHUA LOWE & PATTI MAXINE Over the past decade and a half, local singer-songwriter Joshua Lowe found himself writing gentle songs about his family that didn’t quite fit his folkrock group the Juncos. But recently, he’s been playing sporadic gigs accompanied by local lap steel guitarist extraordinaire Patti Maxine, and these vulnerable folk songs about the birth of his son and love for his dad work brilliantly in this intimate setting.

D E C E M B E R 4 - 1 0 , 2 0 1 9 | G O O D T I M E S . S C | S A N TA C R U Z . C O M

“They’re vulnerable songs,” Lowe says.

“The depth of love that came from stepping in that role as father I hadn’t felt before. There are songs I haven’t played live because I get choked up.

I’ve had to practice not falling so deeply into the emotions.”

52

A friend, Stephen Grillos, suggested recording an album of these songs. Lowe thought it was a great opportunity to get Maxine involved, to record what he calls his “heart” songs.

The record, Family—a comment on both the record’s exploration of familial love and his work with Maxine—was released in August. On Dec. 6, the pair will do an official record release show.

“I see her as a grandmotherly energy in my life,” Lowe says of Maxine. “It feels right that it’s only Patty playing on these songs, as opposed to a full band.”

Any of the hundreds of local musicians who’ve played with Maxine know that she improves any song.

“I’m very aware of the magic that is Patti Maxine,” Lowe says. “She’s a wizard when it comes to adding without overpowering.” AARON CARNES 7:30pm. Friday, Dec. 6. Ugly Mug, 4640 Soquel Drive, Soquel. $18 adv/$20 door. 477-1341.

WEDNESDAY 12/4 SALSA

ISSAC DELGADO Timba is a salsa subgenre that incorporates elements of funk, R&B and afro-Cuban folk music. The term was coined in 1988 by Jose Luis Cortes, flutist for Cuban group NG La Banda.

Timba has continued on, particularly with Issac Delgado—lead singer of NG La Banda, and later a solo singer on his own—who has become one of the biggest timba stars in Cuba. AC 7 and 9pm. Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $31.50-47.25.

GYPSY JAZZ

BARRIO MANOUCHE With members from Spain, Brazil, France, Quebec, Columbia and California, it seems only appropriate that the international troupe known as Barrio Manouche is based in San Francisco. Where else but the Bay could such a blend of extraordinary influences come together for a Latin-jazz fusion spiced with European flavors from both sides of the

continent? Barrio Manouche is not complete without their dancers, as much a part of the band as the musicians. They transform the shows into a sensory experience. Sophomore album Despierta is hot off the presses, and one of the wildest albums of the year. MAT WEIR 7:30pm. Michael’s on Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $15. 479-9777.

THURSDAY 12/5 REGGAE

JUNIOR TOOTS Junior Toots has a passion and fiery intensity for reggae that runs deep.

Makes sense, as he’s the son of Toots Hibbert from the legendary group Toots and the Maytals, one of the greatest reggae voices ever. How does his son stack up to this legacy? Maytals fans will not be disappointed. He brings that old-school roots-reggae vibe to the stage with immense authenticity. This is a big show for Capitola’s Sand Bar, and will showcase the venue’s potential as the owners seek to expand their live-music offerings. AC The Sand Bar, 211 Esplanade, Capitola.

462-1881.

SATURDAY 12/7 REGGAE

ANUHEA Anuhea is one of Hawaii’s most popular reggae artists. She’s also one of the biggest romantics, with lovesick island jams that will stick in your head and beg you to take the day off work to sit on the beach to dream about your true love. She brings her annual “All Is Bright” tour to Santa Cruz to celebrate Christmas reggae style … or is it Hawaiian style? AC 9pm.

INDIE

DIIV DIIV is a moody band. Within the first song on this year’s Deceiver, they get in both an “everything is nothing” and a “fuck it all,” while evoking Sonic Youth, Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. Singer Zachary Cole Smith has been open about his struggles with addiction, and Deceiver is meant to be an honest encapsulation of those struggles. But for all its muck and murk, moments of light shine through, as on the gauzy “The Spark,”

MARCO BENEVENTO Marco Benevento is a mercurial figure.

As a player, his keyboard magic is in high demand, having worked with members of The New Pornographers, The Shins and The Lumineers, as well as twee hot-shot Jon Brion. This year, Benevento released his seventh studio album, Let It Slide, a funky indie-pop record with a ton of groove and soul. Ironical-

MONDAY 12/9 JAZZ

CHESTER THOMPSON Chester Thompson has never wanted for work. After paying dues on the Chitlin’ Circuit in the mid-’60s, he hit the Bay Area scene and hooked up with Tower of Power. He contributed soul-steeped foundation to TOP for about a decade before decamping for rock juggernaut Santana, a gig that ran for a quarter-century and included a monster hit album. Over the past decade, Thompson has been getting back to his roots, working regularly with reliably inspiring tenor saxophonist Howard Wiley. New York drummer Darrell Green, who came up on the East Bay jazz scene with Wiley, and former Steely Dan guitarist Drew Zingg round out the volatile combo. ANDREW GILBERT 7pm.

Emma Arnold was not popular in junior high. “But I did run a really solid Dungeons and Dragons group,” she points out. All of that changed when she became the Hamster Don of her middle school, stealing hamsters from the local mall in Boise and flipping them to pre-teens like some kind of pet store Pablo Escobar. As a comedian, Arnold’s small-town charm fills up the stage, but underneath there’s still a ruthless black market hamster dealer waiting for the next big score. MH

working ska groups of the past two decades. Even though the band started in 1991, it didn’t really gain a notable following until the 2000s. When pop culture declared ska dead, the Slackers decided to work twice as hard, writing material and touring the country. Biggest record Wasted Days was released in 2001, and was further promoted by an in-studio performance on NPR. The group’s sound, while initially more along the lines of traditional Jamaican ska, has since evolved to incorporate more garage-rock and soul elements. AC

If you’ve never seen the Nutcracker, you’ve failed at your holiday duties and are borderline anti-Christmas. But don’t worry, you can correct this immediately, and we will all forgive you. The Nutcracker ballet dates back to the late 1800s. In the ’60s, it gained enormous popularity as an American Christmas production.

The dancing is gorgeous, the music is splendid, the story is magical, and the sets and costumes are dazzling. Even if you’ve never seen it, you’ve certainly heard these songs before, as long as you’re a living, breathing human being.

SHARP MIND Daniel Craig plays the detective tracking a family murder mystery in ‘Knives Out.’

Losing His Edge D E C E M B E R 4 - 1 0 , 2 0 1 9 | G O O D T I M E S . S C | S A N TA C R U Z . C O M

Rian Johnson gathers an excellent ensemble, but can’t think of much to do with them in ‘Knives Out’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

58

M

iddling, but not without surprises, Knives Out is Rian Johnson’s mystery about a group of greedy heirs in ugly holiday sweaters. They’re the descendants of writer Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer), author of The Menagerie Tragedy Trilogy and other best-selling bafflers.

The morning after his 85th birthday party, the old man is found with his throat cut in an apparent suicide. The deceased was no stranger to the macabre. “He basically lives on a Clue board,” says investigating Lt. Elliott (Lakeith Stanfield of Sorry to Bother You and Atlanta); it’s a turreted Victorian manor floating in a sea of dead leaves, with hidden entryways,

creaky floorboards and sinister doodads galore. In a prominent place is a lifesize jolly-sailor dummy in homage to Sleuth, the play starring Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine (and later, the film starring Caine and Jude Law).

Harlan’s parasitic family isn’t exactly weeping over the senseless waste of human life. They include designer Jamie Lee Curtis, whose business was propped up by Harlan’s checkbook and her loafer husband Don Johnson. Their son is a professional wastrel (Chris Evans handles this anti-Captain America role well). Another son is the grumbling Michael Shannon, limping on a cane; he’s furious at the old

man’s refusal to sell his work to the movies.

Johnson’s twist is that we know how Harlan died early on. Involved was his good-hearted nurse and companion Marta (Ana de Armas), but she’s exempted from the lineup because she had nothing to gain from the will. In addition, she has a tic; she must always tell the truth, lest she vomit on the spot. (This apparently isn’t a real sickness. Johnson may have read of the tanguin ordeal in Madagascar, in which accused liars prove their guilt by barfing.)

On scene is Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc, “Last of the Gentlemen Detectives,” recently profiled in the New Yorker (“I read a tweet about

the article,” says another suspect, Toni Collette’s Joni, burnished by unnatural skin bronzers.) Craig uses a Southern accent with more molasses in it than the one he had in Logan Lucky. This diction increases Craig’s likeness to Robert Mitchum.

To Blanc, the case is a sort of doughnut, the hole beckoning.

This metaphysical doughnut is mirrored by a frightening living room sculpture: hundreds of knives, all blades pointing to a vortex.

The airweight movie is a little furry; we wait in vain for some crack in old Harlan’s stern benignness; he has such good reasons for his ironwilled decisions that you want to see a touch of evil revealed. Knives Out is also strangely sexless—unless Miss Marple is the sleuth, Agatha Christieoid entertainments usually have a bit of plunging neckline and a suggestion of kink. A scene of Evans and de Armas drinking beer at a country inn with Gordon Lightfoot’s “Sundown” playing in the background is about as heated as it gets.

Johnson’s superb emulation of Hammett and Chandler in his debut Brick (2006) gave us a more energetic mystery, and this sputters a bit by comparison. But he does have a purpose beyond pastiche: Knives Out is Thanksgiving entertainment for those seething at their relatives over the turkey carcass. Johnson introduces a political element, revealed when the cast starts snapping at each other about the policies of the unnamed Trump; half of these idlers fear dispossession by alien hordes, as represented by Marta’s undocumented mom. One member of the clan is an alt-right 16-yearold who never raises his face from his cellphone; he probably stands in for the little pishers who hounded Johnson about the politics of his The Last Jedi as if they thought Darth Vader would read their tweets and ask for their CVs. And so, Knives Out addresses contemporary turmoil in the cozy world of the manor-murder mystery.

BLACK CHRISTMAS This may be the greatest Christmas horror movie ever—and there’s a lot more competition for that title than you might think. Now, I’m not talking about the Black Christmas remake that comes out in a couple of weeks, although that does look cool. (The first remake in 2006 was god-awful, though). No, this weekend the “Midnights at the Del Mar” series is showing the original, and it’s so worth seeing on the big screen. The first holiday slasher film, it arrived in 1974, several years before Halloween. So many horror films have ripped from it since, but there’s nothing like this true original, which has more atmosphere, chills and total bonkersness than its tired ’80s imitators. It starts with a weird series of obscene phone calls to a sorority house over the holiday break? But who is making them?

And who will survive when things turn deadly? Directed by the B-movie maestro Bob Clark, and starring Margot Kidder (who wasn’t in nearly enough movies), Olivia Hussey and Keir Dullea. Friday and Saturday at 11:59pm at the Del Mar. (R) 98 minutes. (SP)

60

HONEY BOY Who knew there would be a time when the name Shia LaBeouf wouldn’t only be preceded by the phrase “God, I hate?”And yet, here we are! LaBeouf is winning tons of praise for writing and starring as the dysfunctional father in this story of a young actor (played by Noah Jupe at 12 years old and Lucas Hedges at 22) who tries to reconcile with him.

He wrote the script in rehab, based on his own relationship with his father. Directed by Alma Har’el. (R) 94 minutes. (SP) WAVES Writer-director Trey Edward Shults, who broke through two years ago with the odd horror film It Comes At Night, shifts gears (but not completely!) with this semiautobiographical drama about a high-school senior on the wrestling team whose life is turned upside down by a series of unfortunate events that turn very, very dark. Starring Kelvin Harrison Jr., Lucas Hedges and Alexa Demie. (R) 135 minutes. (SP)

CONTINUING EVENT: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MOVIES Film buffs are invited Wednesday nights at 7pm to downtown Santa Cruz, where each week the group discusses a different current release. For location and discussion topic, go to groups. google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD I used up a box of tissues just to get through the trailer for this biopic about Mr. Rogers, so I suggest you really stock up before the actual movie. If nationwide shortage of Kleenex is declared sometime in the next two weeks, blame Tom Hanks. Nah, he’s too nice to blame for anything. Blame PG&E. (PG) 108 minutes. (SP) DARK WATERS Ooh, I love Thanksgiving shark movies! Wait, this one is about lawyers? Even sharkier!

Specifically, it’s about the real-life lawyer who took on a corporate behemoth after DuPont was linked to a number of unexplained deaths.

Directed by Todd Haynes. Starring Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway and Tim Robbins. (PG-13) 126 minutes. (SP) FORD V FERRARI Christian Bale plays rogue British race-car driver Ken Miles, and Matt Damon plays American auto designer Carroll Shelby in this true story of how massive underdog Ford beat Ferrari in the 1966 Le Mans race, which Ferrari had previously dominated for years. I love that in Europe, the title had to be changed to Le Mans ’66, because only Americans care about Americans winning stuff. (PG-13) 152 minutes.

(SP) FROZEN II Just when you’d finally scraped the last remnants of that goddamn “Let It Snow” movie out of your head, here comes the sequel, which inevitably has an equally catchy song ready to torture you for the next few years. Otherwise, I’m sure this sequel to the Disney princess blockbuster featuring Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and that snowman dude is lovely. (PG) 103 minutes. (SP) THE GOOD LIAR The pleasure of watching two wily silver foxes

onscreen together, Helen Mirren and Ian McKellan, is the main attraction in this elegant mystery of con artistry and designated victims that never quite plays out the way you expect. Sir Ian and Dame Helen do not disappoint, testing, cajoling, and beguiling each other (and the audience) in every frame, oiling the gears that make the movie run so smoothly. It's a lovely piece of craftsmanship from director Bill Condon. (R) 109 minutes. (LJ) HARRIET Maybe now that we’re all so woke, the times have finally caught up to the amazing life of Harriet Tubman, a real-life superhero who fought for justice and won major victories in her lifelong battle to end slavery in the American South. An escaped slave herself, she made many perilous trips back below the Mason-Dixon Line to lead other enslaved people to freedom in the North, via the Underground Railroad, armed with little more than raw courage and a flintlock pistol. Filmmaker Kasi Lemmons explores the woman behind the historical footnote, played with bristly moral conviction by Cynthia Erivo. The movie sticks pretty close to the extraordinary facts, despite a few melodramatic flourishes, but Harriet's story is so important, it rises in triumph over all obstacles—like the woman herself. (PG-13) 125 minutes.

(LJ) JOJO RABBIT Jojo Rabbit is the diary of a Nazi wimpy kid, trying to fit in with the usual social absurdities— it’s just that the absurdities were heightened in the Reich. In a small village in 1944, young Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) is trying to be a good little Hitler Youth member. But he’s a thorough reject, drawing a portion of the scorn doled out by the Jugend’s scoutmaster, an invalided-out Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell, great.)

This uproariously satirical version of a quite serious novel might be modeled on Carol Reed’s The Fallen Idol (1948) in the looming staircases, and the expressionism of the boy’s world collapsing around him. Like Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople, it’s certainly something you could take a smart older child to see. Directed by Taika Waititi. Starring Roman Griffin

Davis and Scarlett Johansson. PG-13.

108 minutes. (RvB) KNIVES OUT Reviewed this issue.

(PG-13) 130 minutes. (SP) LAST CHRISTMAS They turned the Wham! songs into one of those holiday rom-coms, but I’m not sure if they knew which George Michael song they were adapting, because this movie’s tagline is “Sometimes you’ve just got to have faith.” I’d rather salute the lyrics of the actual song; if I remember right, they were “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart/ But the very next day, you gave it away/This year, to save me from tears/I won’t see this stupid movie.”

Something like that. Directed by Paul Feig. Starring Emilia Clarke, Henry Golding and Emma Thompson. (PG13) 102 minutes. (PS) THE LIGHTHOUSE Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in this black-and-white psychological horror film from the director of The Witch about two lighthouse keepers who start to lose their sanity as their nightmares come to life. I find the scariest movies are the ones you can personally relate to, so I am sure to find this terrifying, as I suffer from recurring nightmares of being trapped in a lighthouse with the guy from Twilight. Directed by Robert Eggers. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) MIDWAY Roland Emmerich’s new war film is a remake of the 1976 ensemble epic about the attack on Pearl Harbor (and subsequent Battle of Midway) that featured Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, James Coburn, Toshiro Mifune, Robert Mitchum, and Cliff Robertson. This one stars Woody Harrelson, Aaron Eckhart, Patrick Wilson, Nick Jonas, Mandy Moore … wait, is this the Wayans Brothers version or something? Like, the Scary Movie version? No? OK, just checking.

(PG-13) 138 minutes. (SP) PAIN AND GLORY Pedro Almodovar’s latest is clearly a very personal story, featuring his longtime favorite leading man Antonio Banderas as a director in the autumn of his career. It also features his favorite leading lady, Penelope Cruz, as the director’s … what, mother?

Oh, it’s a flashback thing, okay. There

are in fact many flashbacks, as the director “Salvador Mallo” looks back on his life. The result is winning praise as one of Almodovar’s best. (R) 113 minutes. (SP) PARASITE The director of The Host and Snowpiercer returns with a dark comedy/thriller about a poor family that slowly infiltrates the life of a rich family. At Cannes this year, it became the first Korean film to win the Palme d’Or. Directed by Bong Joon-ho.

Starring Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun and Cho Yeo-jyong. (R) 132 minutes.

(SP) PLAYING WITH FIRE I clicked a link to watch the trailer for Playing With Fire, and—I’m totally serious about this—former WWE wrestling champion John Cena appeared on screen dressed like a firefighter and said,“Ready to turn up the heat on some serious comedy? Watch the trailer for Playing With Fire!”What do you think I’m trying to do, John Cena? I already clicked on the damn link! Don’t tell me what to do when I’m already trying to do it, John Cena!

Get your big, manly John Cena head out of the way so I can find out about this cutesy family comedy that you’re so damn excited to be starring in that you won’t even let me watch the trailer! Directed by Andy Fickman.

Starring John Cena, Judy Greer and Keegan-Michael Key, (PG) 96 minutes. (SP) QUEEN & SLIM A Driving While Black situation goes even wrongerer when a cop pulls over Slim (Daniel Kaluuya from Get Out) and Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) on their first date. Slim ends up shooting him, and immediately the pair are on the run, Bonnie and Clyde style. Directed

by Melinda Matsoukas. Co-starring Chloe Sevigny, Sturgill Simpson and Flea. (R) 132 minutes. (SP) 21 BRIDGES I don’t know if this crime drama produced by Avengers: Endgame’s Russo Brothers about an NYPD detective hunting down two cop killers is any good, but I can guarantee it has more bridges than any other film you’ll see this year.

Directed by Brian Kirk. Starring Chadwick Boseman, J.K. Simmons and Sienna Miller. (R) 99 minutes.

Holiday Heart

How foodies can do good this season at local events BY CHRISTINA WATERS

A

couple of great ideas here for fans of organic success stories and handcrafted culinary gifts.

First, there’s a screening of a beautiful documentary about a couple who traded city life for an empty 200 acres just ripe for farming. The Biggest Little Farm records the odyssey toward a stunning organic farm and a biodiverse design for living. The screening is part of an evening of bold ideas and holiday schmoozing

at DNA’s Comedy Lab on Dec. 5, which will begin with drinks and small bites.

The screening starts after remarks from Mayor Martine Watkins and words from a Homeless Garden Project trainee. Terrific cinematography and a wake-up call to heed nature’s warnings. Sponsored by Patagonia; 6pm on Thursday, Dec. 5, at DNA’s Comedy Lab, 155 S River St., Santa Cruz. homelessgardenproject.org. $20.

While you’re in the groove, stop by the Homeless Garden Project’s Holiday Store Open House and First Friday Celebration. Enjoy small bites, festive beverages and products made in HGP programs: from farm to workshop to you, the inquiring consumer. That includes lots of special-made products made

by Friends in Cheeses—luscious condiments like culinary vinegars and ginger citrus pumpkin jelly.

Winner of the top prize at the World Cheese Awards, Rogue River Organic Blue is seasonal and aged for 9-11 months. This fragrant masterpiece is wrapped in Syrah grape leaves and soaked in pear liqueur before coming to your house for $37/lb. (I paid $11 for a sizeable chunk that has lasted four meals.) Oregon’s Rogue Creamery has won lots of awards, but this is the first time an American cheese has taken the top honors in the competition’s 32 years.

One complex cheese, the blue is a major oral experience, if you know what I mean. Terrific with a shot of Jameson’s. Smooth yet angular, this beauty starts out densely loaded with Earthy notes and then opens into a sweet, very complex, buttery suite of flavors. Less is more. Pace yourself. Available at New Leaf Market.

NEW TRADITION Consider ordering your next holiday meal from New Leaf Community Market. They offer everything from non-GMO, antibiotic-free Diestel turkeys to house-made dishes like buttermilk mashed potatoes, local desserts from Beckmann’s Bakery, and plant-based and gluten-free entrées and sides. Convenient onestop pick up. Check online for New Leaf’s holiday menu and reserve your meal up to Dec. 23 at newleaf. com/reserve.

NOSTALGIA TO GO Sasha Nemonchok and Chef Hunter sling convenient comfort food by the beach. PHOTO: JORDY HYMAN

Black Point Market Friendly neighborhood beach bodega opens in Live Oak BY JORDY HYMAN

O

nce an employee of the Point Market at Pleasure Point, Sasha Nemonchok partnered with the owners this year to develop his vision for a sister store on East Cliff at 14th Street, right above the beach and the eponymous Black Point. It’s a reinterpretation of the bodegas of Philadelphia with a strong Santa Cruz spin—a friendly mix of corner store, cafe and deli. Top shelf and bottom, staples and luxuries.

Black Point Market stocks necessities, from sunblock and candy to beer, wine and kombucha. House Chef Hunter pours espresso and slings hot and cold sandwiches, soups, fresh-baked cookies and pastries, and other prepared entrées and sides.

What’s the vibe you’re going for?

SASHA NEMONCHOK: I wanted a bodega-like feel. It’s your corner market. It’s your one-stop shop.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through for a day or a week, we just wanted to make sure we had what you would need. So the basics like your butter and milk and eggs, baking supplies, things that you might need in a pinch, like, ‘Oh my god, I need

corn starch,’ or something like that. A little bit of beach stuff.

We’re making a point of appealing to everyone, so that just means we typically have an affordable option and then an upper-scale option. Fancy honey, cheap honey. Fancy hot dogs, cheap hot dogs. Everyone deserves to be here, is kind of our mentality.

What’s happening at the deli?

Gourmet-to-go sounds a little pretentious, but maybe convenient comfort food is one way to put it. We’re focused on nostalgic sandwiches, sandwiches that bring back memories, so like chicken salad and tuna salad, those are key. We make an authentic Cuban.

There’s a hoagie, and that’s an eastcoast-style sub packed full of ham, capicola, salami. Meatball subs should be coming pretty soon here.

Our meatloaf is insane… all fresh, made from scratch. It’s all chefdriven, straightforward, simple food, nostalgic food.

s longtime owners of Pelican Ranch Winery, Phil Crews and his wife Peggy certainly know their onions when it comes to making wine. And as a chemistry professor at UCSC, Phil also knows a thing or two about blending components.

For his bright 2018 Rosé of Zinfandel, grapes are harvested from Prosperity Grape Field in Fiddletown, Amador County. With its warm Mediterranean climate and an elevation of nearly 1,700 feet, Fiddletown is producing some splendid fruit from its vineyards.

“This is classic, dry, pink-style Rosé with fresh strawberry and rose petal nose,” Phil says.

I always think of Rosé as a happy wine. And as it gains popularity, more and more lovers of the grape are buying Rosé. It’s an easy-drinking wine with a party-time appeal.

Pelican Ranch’s 2018 vintage— its latest release—comes with a convenient screw cap. Clocking in at $20, it can be found at markets and liquor stores all over town.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES NEPTUNE—NUMINOUS & MYSTERIOUS

Last Wednesday, Neptune (imagination, dreams, visions, etc.)—retrograde in Pisces for five months—turned direct. Retrogrades create deep internal musings. Neptune is the planet of hope, vision and religion, all developed in the Piscean Age. Neptune on the Soul level is imagination, dreams, music of the spheres, divinity. Neptune on the personality-building levels is disillusion, confusion and deception (experiences needed to learn discrimination and compassion).

Neptune makes us sensitive and refined.

We can also feel confused; reality is veiled.

We can be selfrighteous, impaling those who disagree with us on swords of verbal cruelty. We sometimes enter into addictive behaviors to soothe ourselves from difficulties and the unknown. Neptune helps us see others’ wounds, develop compassion and empathy. We can also feel divine discontent, seeking the spiritual in a world of materialism. Neptune dissolves things away and parts the veils between worlds. It both veils and refines reality, creating numinous and mysterious realms all around us. Neptune beguiles us.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Have any of your professional endeavors experienced too much expansion, setbacks or transformations?

Has a chill, coldness or distance come over relationships? It’s good to introduce the practical in all interactions, plans and agendas. Is there a level of commitment being called for? Try not to let impulsiveness prevail. Travels, journeys, study, justice are part of all decisions to be made. Know that where lines cross, new realities emerge.

You love being at home. You also love being with others, especially in a crowd working together. You love beauty, recognizing it (or its lack) everywhere. As we journey through relationships, we learn to discern outer beauty from inner, true intelligence from glamour, true love from false. Libra experiences many relationships in order to learn about and how to be in them. What are you presently learning?

221 Cathcart Street • Downtown Santa Cruz

TAURUS Apr21–May21 It’s important to have physical closeness at this time with someone, even if it’s a special pet. Your love nature needs a bit of care so Venus doesn’t feel left out. Venus watches over you, providing a sense of intelligent and loving well-being. Without love you can wilt, droop and fade away, feeling out of contact. Tend with care all resources held with another. Tend with care your loved ones.

You have Saturn in your communication house. Saturn is the Dweller on the Threshold, the purveyor of tests to determine how strong you’ve become in the last seven years. Saturn makes us feel separate at times.

Saturn lessens the intensity of emotions. You’ll be less consumed by passions and more directed toward developing the mind. With Saturn in your mental sphere, you increase in discernment, discrimination, balance, and poise. Attractive qualities!

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

None of your friends or partners consider life with you boring. You’re the Twins (two in one) of the zodiac, one face then another encountering the world. The purpose of your dual nature is to provide two realities to humanity, a sense of duality, a polarity, of this and that, so humanity can observe two sides of all issues. So few realize your function and gift. Do you? It’s foundational to having intelligence.

Your extreme ideals can sometimes create havoc with life’s realities, so often you are filled with paradoxes and emotional vicissitudes. You see the potential for goodness in everyone. In relationships, you believe all needs will be met. You gaze at the stars; you have faith and practice positive thinking. For greater and real happiness, here’s a newer mantram (which I told Virgo): “We become what we praise.” Practice this new position.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

Tending and caring for the well-being of everyone is your task due to your extreme sensitivity toward humanity and the life process. Sometimes you overlook yourself, believing others are equally nurturing (or should be, you think). That isn’t an astrological reality. Each sign has a different task to cultivate. Begin to nurture yourself.

It’s most important, for it creates a sense of selfempowerment.

You display deep constancy and dependability, and when loving someone, you’re there forever. Within all this reliability, steadiness and fidelity, there’s a spontaneous creature (you) seeking creative selfexpression. Your true nature is artistic, imaginative and inventive. Often, being quiet and subdued as you traditionally are, others don’t recognize your true light. Over time this will change as the spotlight swings toward your accomplishments.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

You are either a knight or a Joan of Arc, a king or a queen, a savior and a server. Lion or lioness, you’re able to captivate the hearts and minds of everyone, shower others with intense love while needing complete attention in return. In between these dramatic interludes, tend carefully to daily life, health and well-being, and to any small animals that come your way. Chiron entered your house of self-identity.

That will change over time.

You will look at your work in the world and wonder at its connectivity with others. This connection with humanity is your life’s purpose. You know that “contact releases love.” Often we find you alone in an endeavor you have created. Always you must have freedom of movement and of choice. Always you need friends around. Be very vigilant and alert with finances. Be responsible with them. All that you need is always given.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

On the surface, you seem quiet, poised, calm, collected and rather cool and distant. Inside, you’re a vessel of desires and passion, love runs deep, and like Taurus, you’re very loyal to those you love, even after death.

Here is a rule for Virgos: never criticize, never compare, never judge. Always praise instead. We become what we praise. That’s a mantram of reality.

You have empathy and compassion. Often you see the potential in others and feel it’s your responsibility to bring that potential forward. Sometimes you take lovers (or friends) who are “potentials.” After a time, the potential is not the reality. You learn. Neptune and Chiron are hovering in Pisces. Anything held out to you dissolves. You stand alone. Here you grow.

ORDINANCE NO. 2019-23 AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ EXPANDING AB 1482 NO-FAULT EVICTION PROTECTIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ BE IT ORDAINED By the City of Santa Cruz as follows: SECTION 1. Findings.

A. Pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City of Santa Cruz (“City”) may make and enforce all regulations and ordinances using its police powers.

B. The City has one of the least affordable housing markets in California and the United States, which exacerbates the City’s shortage of decent, safe, affordable, and sanitary rental housing.

C. Renters occupy about 56 percent of the City’s housing stock and 67.5 percent of renters are cost burdened under the federal definition, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

D. Through the City’s Fall 2017 Community Outreach on Housing, the City received extensive public testimony about the exorbitant costs and scarcity of rental units.

F. Housing insecurity and excessive rent increases could result in homelessness and displacement of lowincome families.

G. On October 8, 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, Assembly Bill 1482 (“AB 1482”), an act adding and repealing Sections 1946.2, 1947.12, and 1947.13 of the California Civil Code, effective beginning January 1, 2020, which prohibits evictions without “just cause” and owners of specified residential rental property from increasing rents each year more than 5 percent plus the percentage change in the cost of living or 10 percent,

H. The City Council wishes to protect renters from no-fault evictions in advance of AB 1482’s effective date, to prevent further homelessness and displacement.

I. Among the exempts to the tenant protections enacted under AB 1482 are tenancies that are “subject to an agreement that provides housing subsidies for affordable housing for persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code or comparable federal statutes.”

It is the intent of the City Council, in enacting this Chapter, to extend the tenant protections provided by AB 1482 to tenancies whereby the tenant receives subsidized housing pursuant to the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program or the Section 8 Project Based Voucher program.

J. The tenant protections conferred by AB 1482 are also inapplicable to residential real property subject to a local ordinance requiring just cause for termination of a residential tenancy adopted or amended after September 1, 2019, that is more protective than AB 1482.

K. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares that, to the extent it extends just-cause eviction protections to tenants in Section 8 housing, and provides tenants with first right-of-refusal re-occupy rental units temporarily vacated for repairs or substantial rehabilitation, it is the intent of the City Council, in adopting this Ordinance, that AB 1482 be fully implemented within the City of Santa Cruz, except to the extent that this ordinance provides just-cause eviction protections that are more protective than AB 1482.

L. According to testimony provided to the City Council at the meetings of October 8, 2019 and October 22, 2019, in advance of the implementation of AB 1482, no-fault eviction notices and threats of eviction have been brought to the attention of Council. The Council hereby finds that, if this ordinance were finally adopted in the ordinary course of business on December 10, 2019 pursuant to City Charter Section 608, Section 8 tenants

who received notice prior to October 11, 2019 would be unprotected and could be facing eviction during the holiday season before the ordinance takes effect on January 9, 2020.

M. Based upon the abovedescribed facts and circumstances, and for these same reasons, the City Council finds that this ordinance is necessary as an emergency measure for preserving the public peace, health and safety, and therefore that it may be introduced and adopted at one and the same meeting, and shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

SECTION 2. Chapter 21.07 – JUST CAUSE EVICTION ABOVE AB 1482 REQUIREMENTS is hereby added to the City of Santa Cruz Municipal Code to read as follows: “Chapter 21.07 JUST CAUSE EVICTION ABOVE AB 1482 REQUIREMENTS 21.07.010 EXTENDING AB 1482 PROTECTIONS TO SECTION 8 TENANTS. Notwithstanding the language of California Civil Code Section 1946.2(e) (9), the no-fault just-cause eviction protections of Section 1946.2 shall be applicable to tenants receiving subsidy through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program or the Section 8 Project Based Voucher Program. A full month’s rent shall be provided for relocation assistance, including both the tenant’s portion of the payment and the voucher amount. Any rent control protections that Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holders are afforded by AB 1482 shall also be applied to such Section 8 Housing Choice tenants.

21.07.030

CIVIL REMEDIES.

Failure by a landlord to comply with the terms of this Ordinance shall be an affirmative defense to any unlawful detainer action pending or filed on or after its effective date. In addition, tenant may bring a civil suit in the courts of the state alleging that a Landlord has violated any of the provisions of this Ordinance. In a civil suit, a landlord found to violate this Ordinance shall be liable to the tenant for all actual damages, as well as an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

Additionally, upon a showing that

the Landlord has acted willfully or with oppression, fraud, or malice, the Tenant shall be awarded treble damages. No administrative remedy need be exhausted prior to filing suit pursuant to this Section.”

SECTION 3. Severability.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid and/or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.

SECTION 4. Effective Date and Term.

This urgency ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption provided, however, that it shall apply retroactively to any tenant in possession on its effective date who received or receives a notice of eviction issued on or after September 1, 2019. This ordinance shall also not apply to any tenancy where the eviction lawsuit has already been adjudicated as of the effective date. The ordinance shall remain in effect so long as AB 1482 or any successor provisions are in effect.

SECTION 5. Environmental Determination.

The City Council finds that the adoption and implementation of this Ordinance are exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act under section 15061(b)(3) in that the City Council finds there is no possibility that the implementation of this Ordinance may have significant effects on the environment.

PASSED FOR FINAL ADOPTION on this 26th day of November, 2019, by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Krohn, Glover, Meyers, Brown, Mathews; Vice Mayor Cummings; Mayor Watkins. NOES: None. ABSENT: None.

DISQUALIFIED: None. APPROVED: ss/ Mayor Watkins. ATTEST: ss/Bonnie Bush, City Clerk Administrator.

E. Given the housing cost burden faced by many City residents, excessive rental increases threaten the public health, safety, and welfare of City residents, including seniors, those on fixed incomes, those with low and moderate income levels, and those with other special needs to the extent that such persons may be forced to choose between paying rent and providing food, clothing, and medical care for themselves and their families.

There sure is a lot of talk these days about how millennials are cut from a different cloth. How 30-somethings don’t like to make commitments or plunge into the deep end of life by signing up for 30-year mortgages.

As the story goes, the majority of millennials prefer to rent minimalist apartments where they can walk or Uber to work, rather than buy bigger homes in the exurbs with large yards, longer commutes and more binding ties to consumer culture.

My own opinion is that this represents a deep disconnect from what’s really holding some of those 30-somethings back from full buy-in on a home. Not to mention a huge lack of empathy for the profound challenges millennials face when they try to crack the code of homeownership in today’s difficult real estate market.

I don’t think we give them enough credit for the incredible levels of courage they demonstrate. Or the high-degree of commitment it actually takes to get their ducks in order to the degree that every buyer has to in today’s environment.

Think about it. Millennials are the generation that came of age during the last 10-15 years.

That’s the period of time just before, during and after the Great Recession, the worst financial downturn since the Great Depression. An event that shook the foundations of the real estate and mortgage markets and generated broader waves of culture shock that will reverberate for decades.

Millennials going to college, dreaming about the future and moving into the workforce had front row seats for the whole sorry debacle.

As first-time buyers of a certain age, they now have a baked-in understanding of certain inalienable facts: people can lose their homes.

Real estate values can plummet. Jobs aren’t always secure. Life can change dramatically in difficult ways.

They were there and they saw it, and it has no doubt shaped their adult worldviews in ways many of us can’t quite comprehend. A dark, pessimistic outlook might easily have been the legacy that the Great Recession left them. But I have to say that most millennials I’ve come across in the last few years have been remarkably bright, well-grounded and optimistic about life and all its possibilities.

When I work with them to buy the houses where they are going to settle down and raise their families, I find my own optimism about the future getting restored. Watching them move through a difficult process and take a huge step forward in life reaffirms my faith in humanity. If anything has delayed their entry into the post-recession real estate market, it’s the newfound norm of historic low inventory that has taken such firm hold of the process.

I always looked forward to getting candies from the butcher counter, just like my kids now do.” KORKY:“I was living in the neighborhood before I met Marie, and loved Shopper’s old-school meat counter, the wines and the eclectic collection of unusual specialty products, which are still a big draw for me.” MARIE:“Shopper’s is locally owned, which makes a big difference in how it’s run.” KORKY: “I find it attractive that Shopper’s has been around since 1938.
