OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE This is the third year we’re doing Santa Cruz Burger Week, and every time we do, we get letters from vegetarian and vegan readers bemoaning the focus on beef. We’ve had veggie burger options every year, but of course it’s true that the majority of Burger Week offerings are beef burgers.

But will it always be that way?

Anyone who read my dust-up with Lily Stoicheff in these pages a couple of years ago over who has the best burger in town knows that I do have a thing for well-made burgers, but I’m also an aficionado of great plant-based patties, going way back to my days of haunting the Saturn Café when it was on Mission Street (I loyally followed to its current location downtown, of course).

When I first tried the Impossible Burger last year, I was instantly sold.

DOWN THE DRAIN

4

Perhaps the most crucial problem currently underway in the Soquel Creek Water District is the huge amount of money that has been, and continues to be, spent on developing a system to clean up sewer water and inject it into the aquifer (sometimes referred to as the poop water project). Yes, it is being done elsewhere, but that is no reason to justify doing it here.

It is said that it is virtually impossible to eliminate all the various pharmaceuticals people dispose of in their toilets, and that treated water being dumped into the oceans contains such contaminants. This being the case, there is no reason to believe that the district could avoid contaminating our aquifer. Furthermore, it is questionable whether this source of water is necessary, as there is evidence of adequate water without it. Yet the district management continues to spend tons of money on the project. It is time to know the truth!

Another significant problem is the number of water offset credits granted to the Aptos Village Project. The fence that

The idea of making a veggie burger as “rare” and juicy as possible might seem gimmicky at first, but the results are remarkable. In combining the umami bomb that most beef-burger eaters seek with the sustainability of a plant-based product, I have long suspected Impossible Foods has found a winning formula.

Then I saw more and more places locally add it to their menus—now there are nearly 20 places in the county (by my last count) that serve it. Several Burger Week participants are offering an Impossible Burger as an option, including not only Saturn, but also Flynn’s, Hula’s, Parish Publick House and Splash. So in our pullout cover story for Burger Week, we take a closer look at how the Impossible Burger is changing the veggie burger game. You’ll also find a guide to every participating restaurant, along with their menus and an explanation of how this week of burger feasting works. Like me, you can plan your own restaurant route for the next seven days. See you there!

surrounded the project since the beginning of construction had a lot of signs on it that extolled the idea that the project has saved great amounts of water, much of it having to do with a claim that the developer replaced a significant number of fixtures at Cabrillo College.

Replacing a single toilet results in a document four pages in length. The document describing the replacement of 70-some toilets and 40-some urinals at Cabrillo consists of one page and is signed by a foreman from the Village Project; no evidence of purchases by whom, when, where, how many, or the cost. Neither the college nor the water district produced any of that evidence. If this work was actually done, it is up to the college, the water district and the developer to prove it!

CHICKEN-FREE NUGGET

POSITIVE ENERGY SOURCE

Santa Cruz environmentalists have joined the Humane League’s “imnotlovinit” campaign to raise awareness about the welfare of chickens that end up in America’s sandwiches. UCSC’s Banana Slugs For Animals will hold a silent protest in front of the McDonald’s at 1421 Mission St. in Santa Cruz on Friday, March 1, from 5-6 p.m. The Humane League is campaigning to see McDonald’s, the world’s largest fast food company, publicly commit to a meaningful welfare policy for chickens suffering in its supply chain. For more information, email Sydney Fox at sefox@ucsc.edu.

Julia Hartz is “an energy person.” The Eventbrite cofounder, who grew up in Santa Cruz, said as much in a recent interview with the New York Times. “Maybe it was growing up in Santa Cruz, or maybe I was just born with it, but human energy, I just feel it so much,” she explained. Also, a job with the Ugly Mug that Hartz took at age 14 left a big impression: “I would get there before it was light out and open up. From the Ugly Mug on, I’ve never not worked.”

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of February 20 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 In December 1915, the California city of San Diego was suffering from a drought. City officials hired a professional “moisture accelerator” named Charles Hatfield, who promised to make it rain. Soon Hatfield was shooting explosions of a secret blend of chemicals into the sky from the top of a tower. The results were quick. A deluge began in early January of 1916 and persisted for weeks.

Thirty inches of rain fell, causing floods that damaged the local infrastructure. The moral of the story, as far as you’re concerned, Aries: when you ask for what you want and need, specify exactly how much you want and need.

Don’t make an open-ended request that could bring you too much of a good thing.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges are brothers born to parents who were also actors. When they were growing up, they already had aspirations to follow in their mom’s and dad’s footsteps. From an early age, they summoned a resourceful approach to attracting an audience. Now and then they would start a pretend fight in a store’s parking lot. When a big enough crowd had gathered to observe their shenanigans, they would suddenly break off from their faux struggle, grab their guitars from their truck, and begin playing music. In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll be equally ingenious as you brainstorm about ways to expand your outreach.

GEMINI May21–June20 According to Edward Barnard’s book New York City Trees, a quarter of the city is shaded by its 5.2 million trees. In other words, one of the most densely populated, frantically active places on the planet has a rich collection of oxygen-generating greenery. There’s even a virgin forest at the upper tip of Manhattan, as well as five botanical gardens and the 843-acre Central Park.

Let’s use all this bounty-amidst-the-bustle as a symbol of what you should strive to foster in the coming weeks: refreshing lushness and grace interspersed throughout your busy, hustling rhythm.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

As a poet myself, I regard good poetry as highly useful. It can nudge us free of our habitual thoughts and provoke us to see the world in ways we’ve never imagined. On the other hand, it’s not useful in the same way that food and water and sleep are. Most people don’t get sick if they are deprived of poetry. But I want to bring your attention to a poem that is serving a very practical purpose in addition to its inspirational function. Simon Armitage’s poem In Praise of Air is on display in an outdoor plaza at Sheffield University. The material it’s printed on is designed to literally remove a potent pollutant from the atmosphere. And what does this have to do with you? I suspect that in the coming weeks you will have an extra capacity to generate blessings that are like Armitage’s poem: useful in both practical and inspirational ways.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 In 1979, psychologist Dorothy Tennov published her book Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love. She defined her newly coined word “limerence” as a state of adoration that may generate intense, euphoric and obsessive feelings for another person. Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Leos are most likely to be visited by this disposition throughout 2019. And you’ll be especially prone to it in the coming weeks. Will that be a good thing or a disruptive thing? It all depends on how determined you are to regard it as a blessing, have fun with it and enjoy it, regardless of whether or not your feelings are reciprocated. I advise you to enjoy the hell out of it!

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 Based in Switzerland, Nestle is the largest food company in the world. Yet it pays just $200 per year to the state of Michigan for the right to suck up 400 million gallons of groundwater, which it bottles and sells at a profit. I nominate this vignette to be your cautionary tale in the coming weeks. How? 1. Make damn sure you are being

fairly compensated for your offerings. 2. Don’t allow huge, impersonal forces to exploit your resources. 3. Be tough and discerning, not lax and naïve, as you negotiate deals.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 Sixteenth-century Italian artist Daniele da Volterra wasn’t very famous for his own painting and sculpture.

The work for which we remember him today is the alterations he made to Michelangelo’s giant fresco The Last Judgment, which spreads across an entire wall in the Sistine Chapel. After Michelangelo died, the Catholic Church hired da Volterra to “fix” the scandalous aspects of the people depicted in the master’s work. He painted clothes and leaves over the originals’ genitalia and derrieres. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that we make da Volterra your anti-role model for the coming weeks. Don’t be like him. Don’t engage in cover-ups, censorship or camouflage. Instead, specialize in the opposite: revelations, unmaskings and expositions.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 What is the quality of your access to life’s basic necessities? How well do you fulfill your need for good food and drink, effective exercise, deep sleep, thorough relaxation, mental stimulation, soulful intimacy, a sense of meaningfulness, nourishing beauty, and rich feelings? I bring these questions to your attention, Scorpio, because the rest of 2019 will be an excellent time for you to fine-tune and expand your relationships with these fundamental blessings. And now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 Michael Jackson’s 1982 song “Beat It” climbed to No. 3 on the record-sales charts in Australia. On the other hand, Weird Al Yankovic’s 1984 parody of Jackson’s tune, “Eat It,” reached No. 1 on the same charts. Let’s use this twist as a metaphor that’s a good fit for your life in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may find that a stand-in or substitute or imitation will be more successful than the original. And that will be auspicious!

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington is 605 feet high and 138 feet wide: a tall and narrow tower. Near the top is a round restaurant that makes one complete rotation every 47 minutes. Although this part of the structure weighs 125 tons, for many years its motion was propelled by a mere 1.5 horsepower motor. I think you will have a comparable power at your disposal in the coming weeks: an ability to cause major movement with a compact output of energy.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In 1941, the Ford automobile company created a “biological car.” Among its components were “bioplastics” composed of soybeans, hemp, flax, wood pulp, and cotton. It weighed 1,000 pounds less than a comparable car made of metal.

This breakthrough possibility never fully matured, however.

It was overshadowed by newly abundant plastics made from petrochemicals. I suspect that you Aquarians are at a phase with a resemblance to the biological car. Your good idea is promising but unripe. I hope you’ll spend the coming weeks devoting practical energy to developing it. (P.S. There’s a difference between you and your personal equivalent of the biological car: little competition.)

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Cartographers of Old Europe sometimes drew pictures of strange beasts in the uncharted regions of their maps.

These were warnings to travelers that such areas might harbor unknown risks, like dangerous animals. One famous map of the Indian Ocean shows an image of a sea monster lurking, as if waiting to prey on sailors traveling through its territory. If I were going to create a map of the frontier you’re now headed for, Pisces, I would fill it with mythic beasts of a more benevolent variety, like magic unicorns, good fairies and wise centaurs.

But, some folks think that multiple facial tattoos and nose ornaments are really cool. Are these the same folks that champion dotting the lighthouse, Steamer Lane and Mitchell cove with orange e-bikes? Also, CVC Section 21207.5(b) allows the City Council to forbid these electric bikes on the pathway. I wonder why.

PERSONAL PRIVACY UCSC computer science and engineering professor Abhradeep Guha Thakurta is part of a

research team that was recently awarded $600,000 to study DNA privacy. PHOTO: JULES HOLDSWORTH

Who Owns Your DNA? UCSC researchers look to guard genetic privacy BY ALISHA GREEN possibly cure—a range of diseases and chronic conditions.

How to share that valuable information without revealing deeply personal medical details is the balance that Guha Thakurta will try to strike, along with UCSC Assistant Professor of Bimolecular Engineering Russ Corbett-Detig, UCSC Professor of Computer Science Dimitris Achlioptas, and Temple University Assistant Professor of Statistical Science Vishesh Karwa.

“Your genome sequence is your fingerprint,” says Guha Thakurta, a clue to highly individualized strengths and weaknesses in human biology, which is also increasingly of interest to at-home gene analysis companies, drug makers, advertisers, and other business and research interests.

The explosion in genetic data is fueled in part by a huge decrease in the cost of genetic sequencing, from around $3 billion for the groundbreaking Human Genome Project to $1,000 today for wholegenome sequencing. Companies like 23andMe offer a less-detailed view of a person’s DNA for as little as $100.

Companies are cropping up to charge people for all kinds of insights based on their DNA. Many operate in the field of “personalized medicine,” offering a chance to adapt to individual genetic health risks. And then there are ventures like Helix, which offers products “personalized by your DNA,” from $90 weight-loss plans and $60 wine recommendations to color-coded genetic results printed on socks, shirts and tote bags.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | FEBRUARY 20-26, 2019

U

CSC already has a claim to fame in the history of genomic data; it was a team from the university that published the first draft of the human genome online in 2000.

Now, with a new $600,000 National Science Foundation grant, another UCSC-led team could be on its way to making genomic history—this time, defining what constitutes privacy when the information at stake is what makes you who you are.

Abhradeep Guha Thakurta, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at UCSC, is on a team exploring how to best give researchers access to increasing amounts of genomic data. The stakes are high, promising unprecedented insight into what causes—and could

When people take the plunge to learn about their DNA, it’s also not just their own information they’re sharing (or wearing). Some 60 percent of Americans of Northern European descent can be identified through genetic databases, regardless of whether they’ve personally joined, a recent study found. That number could reach 90 percent within three years.

With companies and researchers vying for gene data for their own purposes, the researchers at UCSC are trying to allow medical teams to access more shared data—wherever it may be—without compromising deeply personal details. “Privacy is not a scientific word,” Guha Thakurta says.

“It is an expectation of people.”

He brings years of experience dealing with this gray area, including privacy work at Microsoft Research, the security group at UC Berkeley and Yahoo Labs. Guha Thakurta also worked at Apple from 2015-2017 on “differential privacy,” a way of gaining insights from a group of users’ data without revealing information about individual users. So far, that’s been difficult to do with hyper-specific genetic data.

As it stands, when someone spits in a tube and sends it to a private company to be sequenced, they often don’t know where their data is going or how it’s going to be used. But there is at least one nearby startup trying to change that, offering customers a chance to control their DNA—and make money off of it.

Most people are paying personal genomics companies “for the privilege of having them take your data and resell it,” says Kamal Obbad, CEO and co-founder of San Francisco startup Nebula Genomics.

He pitches a world where the cost of gene sequencing shifts from individuals to organizations using their data by letting people sell directly to researchers or buyers like biopharmaceutical companies.

That makes it more important to answer social and regulatory questions about who genetic data belongs to, Guha Thakurta says. Ultimately, he hopes the new grant project will yield privacy protections that go beyond an academic paper, and are actually used by those who control genomic data— whoever they may be.

NEWS WORK IN PROGRESS After organizing local day workers, a quest to keep up with a changing job market

FEBRUARY 20-26, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

BY LAUREN HEPLER

12

Ten years ago, Javier Rodriguez didn’t know if it was possible to organize the workers who gathered each day along River Street and outside Home Depot to wait for work in construction and other odd jobs. There were groups in cities like Mountain View and San Francisco that vetted job leads and negotiated pay for day workers in similar situations, but in Santa Cruz, it was already hard enough for Rodriguez to keep up with rent and spend time with his family.

“We’re like ghosts in the community,” says Rodriguez, now 55. “Only when it’s needed, we go and make ourselves visible.”

The more he thought about it, the more Rodriguez liked the idea of having a place in Santa Cruz to help bring stability to seasonal and often-unpredictable day labor.

A model started to emerge from informal church meetings that started around 2009: register both workers and employers, negotiate job details and payment up front, then provide training classes between gigs.

In 2013, after securing the backing of the nonprofit Community Action Board and overcoming petitions that called a space for day workers an “unreasonable risk” to neighbors, the Day Worker Center of Santa Cruz County opened in a little white bungalow on 7th Avenue. More than five years later, 240 workers are registered and earning a minimum $18 an hour for work on construction, moving, landscaping and other jobs. Employers are mostly homeowners from Santa Cruz, Boulder Creek, Los Gatos, Davenport and occasionally Monterey County.

“We’ve come a long way,” says Rodriguez, who lives in Watsonville and is now president of the center’s workers’ committee, or comité de jornaleros. “Maybe I’m not on top of the world, but I feel safe.”

Lately, though, the center’s work has gotten more complicated. Rainy winters have always been tough, but even the higher minimum wage hasn’t kept up with local bedrooms that rent for $600-plus and small apartments that go for $1,500 or more. Unregulated gig sites like Craigslist and TaskRabbit also add competition.

“We need more jobs,” says Day >16

Counter Argument As the Ross Camp closes, the county attempts an extremely flawed count of the homeless.

What can the results tell us? BY JACOB PIERCE

t’s Jan. 30, and Joe Bishop, a volunteer with the Point-inTime Count, or PIT Count, is driving at 10 miles per hour, while Amber Belcher rides shotgun and sifts through maps of three census tracts. The two met for the first time half an hour ago, when they were assigned this area.

Both Bishop and Belcher are rookies in the pre-dawn counting process aimed at better

understanding the population of those without homes. Most of the counting happens from the car. Outside, the ground is wet from a nighttime rain.

As we roll down a quiet Capitola street, the two volunteers confer with each other to make sure they follow the steps correctly. It’s 5:30 a.m. when Bishop turns around, peering toward me in the backseat, and says with a smile, “As you can see, Jake, the training was—”

“Extensive!” Belcher says, also smiling. Bishop and Belcher both watched a quick video a few days prior as part of their training, then were briefed for 10 minutes as a refresher at the Homeless Services Center before volunteers dispatched into small groups. They’re both happy to be volunteering and want to make sure they get everything right.

will serve as the first data point in the 2019 Santa Cruz County Homeless Census and Survey.

Over the next couple of months, organizers will conduct about 400 interviews of homeless individuals, attempting to mirror the demographic breakdowns that volunteers like Belcher and Bishop found in the field last month.

Researchers will then compile all of the findings in a report due out this summer. The study plays a pivotal funding roll for communities like Santa Cruz County, which receives federal money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

As Santa Cruz waits for the results of the bi-annual PIT Count, its struggle with the problem of homelessness shows no sign of abating. The homeless camp between the Ross department store and Highway 1, known by many as “the Ross camp,” will be closing in the next three weeks as city employees attempt to shift tentdwelling residents to other shelters.

ASSUMED ERRORS Over the years, some skeptics have raised questions about counts like these, including the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. The group authored a 2017 report titled “Don’t Count on It,” aimed at highlighting the ways that HUD’s PIT process underreports the actual number of homeless people nationwide.

Naomi Sugie, a social ecology professor at UC Irvine, participated in similar PIT counts, including one in New York City. She tells GT via email that she generally believes “these methods are assumed to have error.” That, she adds, makes it “not particularly useful to emphasize small differences from one year to the next.” Beyond that, if conditions change dramatically in a given year (i.e. a big winter storm), that could affect the count in more problematic ways, adds Sugie, who recently authored a report about how to use new technology and research methods to study “hard-to-reach groups.”

Here in Santa Cruz County, some leaders have grappled with what to make of the count for some time. “It is not real accurate, but you know what is more accurate? Nothing,” says Chip, executive director of the Downtown Association, who went on the 2013 count. He argues that survey results still provide valuable insight into the homeless community. “It’s the best data we have, and when you’re making policy decisions, data’s really important.”

The overall number of local homeless residents has jumped around in recent years without much explanation. Reports showed a 44 percent decrease from 3,536 people in 2013 to 1,964 in 2015. The total went back up again in 2017, to 2,249 people, still 36 percent less than the 2013 number.

Watsonville company Applied Survey Research (ASR) oversees this count and survey, as it does others across the San Francisco Bay Area. ASR Vice President Peter Connery finds that the data is actually “remarkably consistent” year-to-year, especially when it comes to survey results. Many social scientists, generally speaking, don’t like to rely heavily on selfreported data, but the reports’ statistics on reported drug abuse, mental illness struggles, reasons for becoming homeless, and duration of homelessness all hold rather steady.

Also, since 2013, between 68-84 percent of respondents have said that they lived in the county before becoming homeless.

Each count, Connery says, is statistically accurate, and ASR tries to make sure as many volunteers as possible get paired with an expert guide from the survey company.

FOGGY MATH Early on Jan. 30, after 15 minutes of circling mid-county, Bishop and Belcher spot the first person of the morning who appears to be homeless. From the car, Belcher bubbles in what she guesses is the person’s age bracket, 24-65. As Bishop drives around, Belcher keeps track of which streets we’ve already traveled down, and also wonders how the rain is affecting the count—if the downpour might have

pushed people farther out of sight in search of dry hiding places. At the suggestion of organizers, Bishop and Belcher skip over a few streets in a more affluent neighborhood.

Our census tracts include parts of Live Oak and Capitola. The 2017 count found that 1 percent of the county’s homeless population lives in Capitola.

Santa Cruz County’s PIT count happens every two years on one day during the last 10 days in January.

Connery says HUD mandates that the counts happen at the end of the month because homeless people will often pool cash to get a hotel room when they can afford it, and that money is usually gone by the end of the month. This year, in order to count inhabitants of the Ross camp, Connery says that ASR had “embedded reporters” go undercover at the encampment.

No one knows exactly how variables like weather, date of the month or day of the week affect any given count, though Connery says he doesn’t see any of those factors having an impact. By virtue of its methods, the process involves making judgment calls and even some stereotyping. Belcher and Bishop are not allowed to disturb anyone or knock on car windows, so when they coast past parked vehicles, they’re instead looking for fogged-up windows—a telltale sign that someone’s been inside for hours. That can be tricky, because early in the morning after rain, many car windows look foggy. Later, when they see a tired-looking man with a backpack walking down a busy street at 9 a.m., they have to decide: homeless or not?

As we circle, Belcher wonders aloud if the counting process might be easier if each car was given a GPS tracker, so that every two years volunteers could see how the previous group covered the same ground. Chip suggests that surveyors could do a PIT count on two or more days for every homeless census to widen the sample size, but acknowledges that it would take more resources and may not be worth it.

Connery says that adding >16 days probably would make

Worker Center Program Director Maria Rodriguez-Castillo. “We need those phone calls coming through so we can continue to support families.”

The growing pains come as local groups like Santa Cruz Community Ventures launch their own new programs focused on widening local income inequality. The county’s median household income was an unusually high $73,663 in 2017, Census data shows, but one recent report found that nearly a quarter of residents earn less than an adjusted poverty rate of $34,000 a year.

Pair rising costs of living with decreasing job security across income levels, and local labor researchers say the future of work in Santa Cruz looks murky.

“Insecurity has crept up the occupational ladder,” says Steve McKay, a UCSC sociology professor and director of the university’s Center for Labor Studies. “At the bottom, without any kinds of subsidies, it then becomes really kind of impossible.

It’s having two or three kinds of jobs. Your side gig has a side gig.”

HELP WANTED The Day Worker Center is a member of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network

(NDLON). In Santa Cruz, the Day Worker Center is envisioned as a fallback to make ends meet, a “last resort,” Rodriguez says, when people can’t find full- or part-time work, or they need extra cash.

Sergio Salas, 40, first heard about the center after he was laid off and found that doing jobs with other workers taught him new skills in carpentry and other trades.

Juan Mercader Vera, a 31-year-old from Watsonville, comes to the center during the off-season for his family’s business selling fruit at farmers’ markets. Paul Usher, who has been traveling and working in Texas and California, found the center when he arrived in Santa Cruz by googling “day labor.”

The center works with many Latino men, but the ranks are diversifying, says Rodriguez-Castillo. Dozens of women also use the center to find work, primarily in cleaning.

“We do try to match the right worker with the employer,” including language and transportation preferences, says Luz Maria Fuentes, the center’s program coordinator.

Employers who hire workers through the center are usually private homeowners who pay in cash same day. The center does not offer insurance but advises on how homeowner’s insurance applies to day labor. Occasionally, businesses hire workers for short jobs that pay by check, which is

also negotiated up front.

Rodriguez says workers recently raised their minimum rate to $18 an hour because they often do specialized work like carpentry and hard manual labor, such as digging holes.

California’s state minimum wage is $11 or $12 an hour, depending on number of employees, and will rise to $15 for businesses with 26 or more employees in 2022.

In Santa Cruz County, a range of small businesses are experimenting with cooperative or other non-traditional models to work around high costs, from workerowned food companies to pop-up retailers.

The center’s building was also a collective effort. Workers bought and applied the sunny yellow paint on the walls. As part of an agreement to reduce rent, workers maintain a neighboring cemetery.

Workers come to the center and sign in on days they want to work. On slow days, there are classes on topics like financial literacy, first aid and wage theft—a combination of fast access to work and longer-term opportunity that appeals to many who use the center.

“I’ve never been involved in any group,” says Sergio Donis, 53, who moved to the Santa Cruz area from Los Angeles and was recently elected by fellow workers to be a spokesperson for the center. “It’s a great thing.”

The evolution of the local job market adds to the urgency for labor organizers at the center and beyond. By 2024, the county will need thousands more cashiers, farm workers, restaurant workers and personal care aids, which all pay around minimum wage, according to the most recent California Employment Development Department projections.

“They like to say that the fastest-growing jobs in Santa Cruz are tech jobs or financial jobs, but if you look at the numbers, they’re like 80 jobs here, 80 jobs there,” says UCSC professor McKay, whose students have worked to gather more data on lowwage workers in the county. “If you look at what are the biggest number of jobs being added, it’s all on the low end.”

At a recent weekly “general assembly” at the center on a cold Thursday morning, workers traded stories about keeping up in Santa Cruz County over champurrado, Mexican hot chocolate. Their main concern: “El problema de la renta,” Fuentes says— “the rent problem.”

Some have horror stories. Rodriguez heard about a basement in Watsonville that was sectioned off into five rooms, five people in each room, with one shared toilet and one refrigerator for all 25 residents. Others talk about people they know living with cockroach infestations, under tarps or out in the forest.

“We have it all,” Fuentes says. “We have workers that are living in their cars. We have workers that are sharing a room. We have workers that are homeless. The struggle, it’s really real.”

Still, Rodriguez says, the question of moving somewhere else comes down to simple math. Moving to Fresno or Merced might mean cheaper housing, but also lower pay. “I’m in almost the same situation,” he says. “I work seven days a week because I want to stay.”

Despite the challenges that come with a changing economy, Rodriguez is optimistic.

As the center’s administrators work to convince more people to buy local when it comes to labor, he sees an opportunity to grow the number of jobs in surrounding areas.

“I know in every community there is a necessity,” Rodriguez says. “I still think this is the country of opportunity.”

The Day Worker Center of Santa Cruz will host a fundraiser with dinner and folk dancing at Peace United Church from 6-8:30 p.m. on March 23. Tickets $35. For details, or to hire a day worker, visit the center at 2261 7th Ave., call 475-9675 or go to dayworkercentersc.org.

the count more accurate. Other communities opt to do the counts every year instead of every other year. But he’s not sure what end such a change would serve.

Instead of spending more money studying homelessness, he says that local governments should increase spending on services to put a real dent in both the size and the suffering of the homeless population.

He gets defensive when answering questions about the surveys. At the national level, many of the criticisms of HUD’s counts come from homeless advocates on the left, but locally, the critiques come more often from anti-homeless groups looking to undermine the survey’s results. “You don’t have a data problem,” says Connery. “You have a service delivery problem.”

Bishop and Belcher both participated because they know how important it is to fund solutions to homelessness. Bishop is the founder of the faith-based counseling nonprofit Respero, which has been increasing its homeless outreach.

Belcher is a nurse who used to work at the Homeless Persons’ Health Project, and she sometimes misses her old job.

“You need funds in order to help people,” Belcher explains, recalling efforts to track down new funding sources on the phone. “It does break down to the dollar at some point.

And if you don’t have the ability to provide resources, then you’re not gonna help anyone. I think it’s really important we count all the people we can.”

The two volunteers wrap up their count around 9:30 a.m. Belcher and Bishop have both been up since before 4 a.m., and they had second thoughts about coming out today.

Once Belcher finally crawled out of bed after hitting the snooze button on her alarm a few times, she looked out her window at the rain, and thought that maybe she didn’t really want to leave the house, after all.

“Then I was like, ‘You know what?

You’re being lame because you’re gonna go out survey people who live out in this rain right now,” she says.

“Suck it up!’”

WATCH FOR ME. When driving, check for bicyclists at all times.

• Watch for them ahead, behind, and to the sides.

• Before making a turn, slow down and use your turn signal to alert cyclists as well as other road users.

• At intersections, look left, right, and left again.

• When merging into a bike lane, look over your right shoulder.

• Sometimes bicyclists approach faster than expected.

• Only make a right turn at an intersection or driveway when no cyclists are passing or crossing.

• And always check before opening your car door; many cyclists have been fatally hit in this way.

Be aware of people on bikes.

faculty in the physics department at UCSC. Like Jane Austen’s Emma, Bailey played matchmaker, looking for complementary interests between artists and physicists. Her own pairing put her with mosaic artist Beth Purcell. Together, Bailey and Purcell built mosaics on musical instruments to illustrate standing waves, the vibrational waveform often created in music.

“I don’t consider myself an artistic person at all,” says Bailey. “But I still very much welcomed working with an artist.”

Bailey’s sales pitch to her fellow physicists was audacious. Art, she told them, isn’t a distraction from science—it enhances it.

“I really believe that working with an artist can enrich the work of a physicist, lead them to think about their problems in new and different ways, and even create a few a-ha moments,” she says.

Santa Cruz sculptor Brad Burkhart didn’t need convincing. Burkhart’s partner on the physics side was Hendrik Ohldag, a physicist from the Stanford Synchotron Radiation Laboratory, where he studies magnetism. Burkhart entered the partnership already inspired by the landmark 1991 book Art and Physics: Parallel Visions in Space, Time and Light

by San Francisco surgeon Leonard Shlain.

“I’ve always been interested in the overlap between the arts and the sciences,” says Burkhart. “It’s [Shlain’s] premise that art leads science by 50 years or so. Artists come up with a visual framework that is later discovered and proven by scientists.”

Inspired by the Gates of Paradise at the Baptistry of Florence, Burkhart turned his artistic attention to

creating small bas-relief panels from high-fired clay that are similar to what he saw in Florence. Burkhart visited his scientist partner Ohldag in the physicist’s lab, and Ohldag returned the favor by visiting Burkhart during Open Studios.

Eventually, Burkhart created a series of his relief panels guided by feedback and comments from Ohldag.

“I’m going to have a description of how we collaborated, and I’m going to have Hendrick’s comments on the four sculptures as well,” says Burkhart.

In the blog that has documented the collaborations over the past several months, glass artist Randie Silverstein says that her collaboration with physics grad student Alex McDaniel led to “an enormous breakthrough in my work, representing my first real attempt in the 10 years I’ve been doing glass art to truly explore the material further and to conceive of and manipulate it in ways I hadn’t before.”

For Bailey, the non-artist who found herself curating an art show, Fusion is part of a mission to bring the concepts of physics to a wider public. “Art is a much more friendly and inviting way to attract people than physics,” she says. Of the work she created alongside mosaic artist Beth Purcell, she says that the artwork is more than a few pieces of aesthetic pleasure. “I consider them extraordinary teaching tools, something I can bring into the classroom to convey an important concept in physics.”

‘Fusion of Art and Physics’ runs through March. Opening reception is Friday, March 1, 5-9 p.m. Artist and physicist panel discussion on Saturday, March 16, noon-2 p.m. R. Blitzer Gallery, 2801 Mission St. Extension, Santa Cruz. slbailey109.wixsite.com/fusion/blog.

‘Champions’ of Dance

I

n 2015, the Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center (TWDCC) invited former Lines Ballet dancer Gregory Dawson to Santa Cruz for the first-ever dance performance at the Colligan Theater.

After the performance sold out, and was enthusiastically received, the TWDCC knew they would have to have him back.

“We knew that Santa Cruz audiences were hungry for great dance with something you could sink your teeth into intellectually,” says Cat Willis, TWDCC Executive Director. “Dawson’s innovation with contemporary ballet forms is

particularly appropriate for Santa Cruz, as audiences have not typically had contemporary ballet companies showcased in our city.”

For this year’s TWDCC Winter Dance Fest, Dawson and his San Francisco-based tour de force company Dawsondancesf will be joining again to debut a new piece called Champions and Lovers.

Choreographers often create works especially for the Winter Dance Festival. This year, Santa Cruz choreographer Taliha Scott will be opening the festival with ORÉNDA: First You Gave Me, followed by local teacher and Santa

Cruz choreographer Stephanie Emmanuela Da Silva with her recent work Innocent Targets.

“TWDCC is especially excited to be featuring the work of emerging female choreographers from Santa Cruz alongside Gregory Dawson, who has taught and mentored Taliha Scott in his position as Cal Arts Summer program assistant to the chair,” Willis says. “The dynamic voices of all of these choreographers will exemplify what it means to push boundaries of forms in dance and telling stories from the voices of today.”

The aim of the Winter Dance Fest is to exhibit emerging

and established contemporary choreographers on the same stage in Santa Cruz, hence inviting local dancers alongside Dawson.

“It’s exciting to the bring fresh voices and ideas to the dance stage,” Willis says. “That is what is at the heart of the contemporary form; breaking through traditional ways of moving and finding relevance from the artist’s particular voice and juxtaposing that with familiar forms.”

New Rose After a few false starts, Caroline Rose finds her true self BY AARON CARNES

C

aroline Rose really wishes she could make her first album disappear.

It kind of makes sense. The 2014 record, I Will Not Be Afraid, sounds nothing like her follow up, Loner, which was released four years later to much acclaim. Artists change and grow all the time, but this is like two different people. I Will Not Be Afraid is a somber Americana record, while Loner is a schizophrenic, synth-heavy indie-pop record injected with a lot of humor.

“It’s a little confusing for people.

I don’t really want it to be heard in conjunction with this record, but that’s out of my control,” Rose says.

“It’s unfortunate that I can’t go back in time and redo that. I would probably do it differently if I had the chance. I should have waited to put out that album, which probably would have sounded way different if I would have recorded it six months later.”

In the years between albums, she dealt with a lot of personal issues and career issues—including with

her label and management—that kept her from releasing new music.

“I didn’t even know if I was going to have a career. I think all the things happening were really valuable life experiences,” Rose says.

That forced hiatus, which she refers to as having her ego “stripped,” gave her a chance to re-evaluate who she was an artist and what she wanted to say. Loner is an incredibly diverse record—surfpunk at moments, low-fi avantesynth-pop at others, with radiofriendly dance pop also in there.

There’s really nothing tying it together except her, and she sounds much more comfortable in this setting than as an acoustic-guitarslinging Americana troubadour.

“The crux was to make an album that sounds like all the different sides of my personality. The glue of these songs is that it’s written from an honest place,” Rose says. “It’s vignettes, like different parts of my life. Now when I listen to it, I think I succeeded in creating something that sounds like my personality.”

It was a long process getting there.

She worked with four different producers, and she learned a lot from each of them. Now she’s confident enough to be her own producer, and she has a bunch of material already ready for her next album.

In the process of writing Loner, she had a fundamental shift in perspective.

“I came to realize being a musician is more than just songs to me. How I decorate the stage, how the live show feels and what the music videos look like. I think I just became way more developed in the whole form of artistry, rather than just writing songs,” Rose says. “I feel so much more liberated now.”

As she worked on material for what would be Loner, Rose struggled to find her sound. But she was inspired by musician friends who were brave and creative. During her Americana days, she thought she needed to not listen to other people’s music, out of fear that she would sound like everyone else. Then she realized these influences were pushing her in new and exciting ways.

“I had enough of those little nudges here and there that I was like, ‘You know what? I can just combine all this stuff.’ Just put it in a blender and put a little drink umbrella on it. You don’t have to choose just one thing,” Rose says. “I think Beck is really good at that. He took all of his favorite things and all his favorite styles, and he injected his humor and personality into it.

That’s what people latch onto is the personality.”

Caroline Rose will perform at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 27 at Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 429-6994.

FRIDAY 2/22 AND SATURDAY 2/23 ‘R.U.R. HUMANS VERSUS ROBOTS’ Meet the play that coined the term “robot.” Best known as Rossum's Universal Robots, this 1920s scientific stage play is an adventure tale of humans versus technology, which quickly became an influential piece that bridged art and science. The play’s robots aren’t what we commonly think of today; they are artificial flesh-and-blood humans built in a factory. They are often mistaken for humans and able to coexist at first, but their rebellion leads to a grim future for the human race.

BURGER: W IMPOSSIBLE How one company is on a mission to revolutionize the food industry with the next generation of meatless burger BY AVI SALEM

hile at the Paris Climate Accord in December of 2015, Patrick Brown noticed something peculiar about the mass of environmentally conscious politicians and ardent activists attending the momentous summit. Despite spending days advocating for more stringent regulations around greenhouse gas emissions, he observed that many of these conservationists would end their day not with a salad, but instead with a juicy steak.

While there’s nothing inherently wrong with prime rib, it’s a bit of a daring choice for environmental advocates: Livestock alone generate 7.1 gigatons of greenhouse gases each year, about the same amount as the entire global transportation sector, and are also the biggest driving factor of biodiversity loss in the world, according to a 2013 report by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. (Animal populations also declined at an astonishing 58 percent between 1970 and 2012 alone.) And Brown says that’s no secret, either.

“It’s very hard for people to make changes in practices that are a huge source of pleasure in their lives and that are very ingrained in their patterns,” Brown explains. “We could have every person as educated about this problem as the environmentalists in Paris who, just like them, would all go out and have a steak anyway.”

santa cruz burger week burger: impossible Celeste Holz-Schietinger, director of research at Impossible Foods, says that making the impossible possible begins with the science.

First and foremost a research and design company, Impossible Foods spent its first five years pouring its time, money and resources into creating a scientific platform that would understand what key biological components made meat taste like meat, and how the aromas, textures and flavors could be reproduced by plants.

“People love to eat meat because it’s craveable, there’s a delicious flavor, and people love the sensory experience: You see it cook, hear the sizzle and of course smell and taste it,” she says. “What we’re doing is breaking that down to the sensory experiences, going down to a molecular level and identifying what aspects of meat drive that.”

SANTA CRUZ BURGER WEEK

The secret sauce that makes the Impossible Burger a reality is an essential molecular building block called heme (pronounced heem). Heavily abundant in animal tissue in the form of hemoglobin, heme is responsible for giving meat its satisfying, craveable taste. Scientists at Impossible Foods discovered that the same meaty flavor could be achieved by supplementing heme from the roots of legumes, specifically soybeans.

Fermented in large quantities with yeast, legume-derived heme is a blood-red liquid that tastes metallic when raw and meaty when cooked.

When combined with a few other simple, naturally derived ingredients like wheat, potato protein, konjac, xanthan gum, and coconut oil, a burger is born—one that’s flavor, texture and aroma truly does mimic its animal-based counterpart.

“The molecule-to-molecule breakdown of heme in a cow or the Impossible Burger is identical,” Holz-Schietinger explains. “Heme binds to iron, which is actually what gives it its red color and metallic flavor, and upon cooking gives the Impossible Burger a roasted, caramelized flavor.”

Taste test aside, investors

FEBRUARY 20-26, 2019

So if environmentalists at the most important climate summit on Earth can’t give up steak for the benefit of the planet, where does that leave the rest of us?

A few years prior in 2011, Brown quit what he describes as his “dream job” at Stanford University to answer that very question. A lifelong educator, the professor emeritus of biochemistry and co-founder of the open-access Public Library of Science knew that a solution didn’t lie in trying to convert the masses to veganism. Instead, it stemmed from giving people what they want: more meat.

“The most important scientific problem today is identifying what makes meat delicious, and so our job is to serve meat lovers,” he says. “The only way to solve this problem is to make food that not only has a lower environmental impact, but also does a better job of giving consumers what they want: delicious, nutritious, convenient, and affordable food.”

Enter the Impossible Burger, a plant-based patty that looks, feels and tastes just like beef. (It even “bleeds” when it’s raw.) Brown, the founder and CEO of Redwood Citybased Impossible Foods, is leading a food revolution that seeks to satiate the carnivore in all of us—without ever killing or harming a sentient being—and hopes to solve critical issues like food security, global warming, deforestation, and animal welfare along the way.

Where better to start than with an all-American staple like the hamburger? As one of the country’s most popular foods, ground beef is consumed by Americans at an astonishing rate of 5 billion pounds per year. About half of that is sold in restaurants. So while the concept of the burger is classically American, Impossible Foods is a true Silicon Valley invention. Defining innovation, it’s changing both the definition and limitations of meat as we know it to create a product that uses 75 percent less water, 97 percent less land and 87 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions per patty. What could be more disruptive than that?

he took the first bite. A chef and restaurateur for 35 years, Levi explains that he’s never come across a veggie patty that actually satiated the customer’s desire for a burger. Since adding the Impossible Burger to his restaurant’s menu a few months back, he’s been amazed by the demand, which he estimates constitutes 10 percent of all burger sales, something even he admits is a lot for a plant-based patty.

“Having been in the industry forever, I’ve come across a lot of veggie patties, and I never really liked any of them,” he says. “When I tried it, everything I had heard was true, and I’m a burger fanatic.

I eat Impossible Burgers every now and then in lieu of a regular burger because they taste great.”

The latest phase of the meatless meat revolution is in the form of a state-of-the-art production facility that Impossible Foods opened in Oakland last fall. The goal: churning out 1 million pounds of plantbased meat a month to distribute across the nation to hungry vegans, vegetarians and especially adventurous carnivores. Brown sees a very bright future for the Impossible Burger, and he hopes that consumers and farmers—needed to help make the impossible a reality— will share his vision of being the best meat in the world, ultimately helping the brand expand its offerings to include Impossible cheese, milk, fish, and poultry.

“Being ahead of the curve with a next-gen technology—one that’s better for consumers, food security and the environment—is an awesome opportunity,” he says.

“If it’s going to happen anyway, you want to be leading it, not its victim.”

FEBRUARY 20-26, 2019

who are seeing meat production as an increasingly global problem are buying into the Impossible Burger’s unique, scientifically backed formula: The company has secured $450 million in funding from big name investors like Khosla Ventures, Temasek and even Bill Gates—$300 million of which was raised in the last 18 months alone.

Their product is being served in over 2,500 restaurants, onboard Air New Zealand and most recently, in White Castle restaurants across the Midwest and on the East Coast.

The Impossible Burger hasn’t been brought to grocery store shelves yet—but that’s for a pretty smart reason, explains David Lee, Impossible’s chief operating and financial officer. The Impossible Burger’s unique appeal to millennials, arguably the world’s most influential trendsetters, is what’s ultimately causing the plantbased burgers to fly off the griddle, he argues. Because who better to experience the new Impossible Burger for than captive audiences on the ’gram?

“The grocery store is generally not an Instagrammable moment,” Lee says, adding that the consumer movement is key in the Impossible Burger’s success strategy. “Eating together in restaurants is social and viral by nature. If a great burger arrives that’s new and provocatively named, it’s something you can share with your friends.”

Ron Levi, owner and head chef of the Funny Farm in San Jose, found out about the Impossible Burger through a more traditional form of advertisement, specifically a poster hanging inside Wahlburgers in downtown Palo Alto. He’d heard about the product before, but wasn’t convinced until

LOCAL BAND

THE VILLAGE GREEN In 1968, while most rock bands were going as far out into psychedelic territory as they possibly could, the Kinks released the commercial flop The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, which has since become a cult classic. Local Kinks tribute band the Village Green like it so much, they named their band after it.

“It was a very British album. It talked about going out and having afternoon tea and preserving the tradition of the Village Green,” says guitarist Jeff Ebbage. “

FEBRUARY 20-26, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The Village Green does play hits like “You Really Got Me” and “Lola,” but they also dig deep into obscure Kinks cuts from the late ’60s and early ’70s, when the group was getting really experimental.

34

The group doesn’t play much. In fact, it exists almost exclusively to raise money for Guitars Not Guns, which helps put instruments in the hands of disadvantaged kids. They’ve also recorded a benefit album of Kinks songs.

After all, the Kinks are the perfect vehicle to celebrate everyone’s weird side and encourage creativity in kids.

“The Kinks were misfits. When you get the misfits together, it’s a beautiful thing,” Ebbage says. “There was the Beatles, the Stones and then the Kinks, and they were on the fringe. Us collectively all getting together and celebrating the stuff, it's powerful.”

WEDNESDAY 2/20 R&B

ELLA MAI Ella Mai creates soulful R&B grooves that will make you feel like falling in love can be empowering as well as all-encompassing. Reminiscent of the earlier, more love-struck R&B of the ’90s, her intimate, emotive stylings weave through the highs and lows of relationships with personal storytelling and incredible vulnerability. Her voice is bright and assertive, complimenting thick, heartthrob bass notes and back-up harmonies oozing amorous inclinations. No matter how hot the track may get, Mai keeps her message focused: self-knowledge is what’s most sexy. AMY BEE 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $27.50 adv/$30 door. 423-1338.

THURSDAY 2/21 AMERICANA

MOSHE VILOZNY Moshe Vilozny exudes buoyant playfulness as he jams on the lighter side of American roots music, often finding the silver lining in the personal,

and inspiration in the most unlikely places, including the environment.

“The world is an ocean/And it’s easy to drown/But you can ride on the same wave/That’s been holding you down,” he jauntily sings on the title track of solo album Lost and Found. An easygoing candor permeates Vislozny’s musical arrangements, making what could be dismal redemptive instead. His ever-promising lyrics promote rose-colored hope. AB

What do you get when you cross seven badass women in music for one night only? The Vagabonnies Roadshow, duh! Featuring Stacey Dee and Jennie Cotterill (Bad Cop/Bad Cop), Jen Razavi (Bombpops), Beebs and her Money Maker, Jen Carlson (Angry Amputees, Tiger + Bunny), Jen Johnson (F-Minus, Tiger + Bunny) and Gillian McGhee (Hi Ho, Turnspit), this feminist mini-Warped Tour shows a side of these punks most audiences aren’t familiar with: the acoustic one.

Don’t worry, with a line-up like this, it’ll be one unplugged show that still delivers a no-holds-barred night of politics, poetry and destroying the patriarchy. MAT WEIR

SLY & ROBBIE Sly & Robbie’s list of credits are too long for your meager human brain to fully comprehend. Sly Dunbar (drummer) and Robbie Shakespeare (bassist) had separate careers in the early ’70s in Jamaica, but then teamed up in the mid-’70s to become one of the best and most prolific production teams to ever come out of Jamaica. They’ve worked with reggae legends Black Uhuru, Dennis Brown, Bunny Wailer, Gregory Isaacs, and Peter Tosh. They’ve also worked with

TUESDAY 2/26 FOLK

MAKANA In 2011, Hawaiian singer-songwriter Makana was invited to perform at a dinner in Honolulu, which was attended by then-president Barack Obama. He played a song he’d recently written about his dissatisfaction with the wealth gap called “We Are the Many.” In no time, this Guthrie-esque folk song became the unofficial anthem of the Occupy movement—cementing his rep for melding Hawaiian slack-key guitar and folk, with a political bent.

Habib Koité is a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter born in Senegal and raised in his ancestral homeland Mali, where he forged an irresistibly grooving sound that unleashes traditional instruments from traditional roles. He’s joined by Malian vocalist Bassekou Kouyaté, a master of the ngoni, an ancient string instrument that preceded the banjo. He appeared as a special guest on Koité’s acclaimed 2014 album Soô, the guitarist’s first release in decades that did not feature his working band Bamada. ANDREW GILBERT

and vocal callbacks—groovy jams to get lost in. The horns and percussion work hard to keep the infectious mood going, allowing the guitar and vocals to explore multiple sonic interpretations.

It’s like one long, jazzy, dance-inducing jam session. AB

In 2003, Midwest hip-hop duo Atmosphere released an uncomfortably honest song about lead rapper Slug’s attraction to clinically depressed girls. A year earlier, he penned a song about a girl who left him, going into detail on every unflattering, contradictory emotion he went through. It’s like an open wound set to music. Writing such personal, vulnerable lyrics in hip-hop was totally out of sync with the times, yet Atmosphere developed a loyal cult audience. Nowadays, with Drake becoming a mainstream pop icon, the world has caught up with Atmosphere, who just released their ninth album last year, and are still floating around in the underground with a loyal fanbase.

FILM full of nominations, she has yet to be the bride. Could be her turn.

Best Actor: Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody. Willem Dafoe’s despairing angst as Van Gogh in the misbegotten At Eternity’s Gate can’t compete. Viggo Mortensen could cruise to gold as an affable guy who discovers, then rises above, his own racism in Green Book. Likewise, Christian Bale, since the politics of Vice align with a large percentage of Oscar voters. (Who could resist his Golden Globes speech thanking Satan for inspiring him to play Dick Cheney?) But the strutting exuberance of Malek as Freddie Mercury has won every other prize this season. He’d get my vote.

Best Supporting Actress: Maria de Tavira, Roma, for her deft, classy turn as a woman adapting to crisis.

Neither Emma Stone nor Rachel Weiss is likely to win over the other for The Favourite, where they were so evenly matched. Regina King in If Beale Street Could Talk and Amy Adams in Vice aren’t getting enough buzz.

OSCAR FAVOURITE Chances are good Academy voters will crown Olivia Coleman the Best Actress winner for her bold

performance as Queen Anne in ‘The Favourite.’

FEBRUARY 20-26, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Who will walk away with shiny statues at the Academy Awards? BY LISA JENSEN

T

BlacKkKlansman, and A Star Is Born.

The Favourite is the only nominee I question. All three lead actresses were terrific, but I don’t understand why Yorgos Lanthimos has a career.

Best Picture: Roma, Alfonso Cuaron’s memoir of his Mexican childhood, and a mood piece about stillness and being present in the journey of life. I loved Bohemian Rhapsody, Black Panther was a lot of fun, Green Book was entertaining, and shame on me for missing Vice, Spike Lee's

Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron, Roma.

With an impressive Hollywood track record (including a Harry Potter movie, and a previous directing Oscar for Gravity), Cuaron’s heartfelt film celebrates everything undervalued in the current political climate: strong women, people of color (from south of the border, yet), and compassion.

The other of these five directors also nominated for a foreign-language film is Pawel Pawlikowski, for the brilliant

he 2019 Academy Award nominees reflect the industry’s desperate attempt to express support for a diversity of themes and cultures. Will the winners reflect that same diversity? You’ll have to tune in on Sunday to find out, but here are my best guesses:

Polish drama Cold War. Lee has a better chance for BlacKkKlansman, his first-ever directing nomination, than Adam McKay for Vice.

Best Actress: Olivia Colman, The Favourite, absolutely fearless as cranky, sad-sack Queen Anne—no matter how awful she looked on screen—had the kind of anti-glam riskiness that wins Oscars. Melissa McCarthy was incisive, but her character is too unpleasant in Can You Ever Forgive Me. Lady Gaga will score for music, not acting, in A Star Is Born. First-time actress Yalitza Aparicio, in Roma, is an honorable mention. But watch out for Glenn Close in The Wife. After a career

Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali in Green Book. Sam Rockwell (Vice) won in this category last year. Adam Driver’s chances seem iffy in BlacKkKlansman, and the ever-reliable Sam Elliott only has a chance if A Star Is Born sweeps.

Richard E. Grant was caustic, slinky fun in Can You Ever Forgive Me? I’d split my vote between Grant and the impressive Ali, who won in this category two years ago for Moonlight.

Best Cinematography: Alfonso Cuaron, Roma, the director who also acted as his own cinematographer. I love that two of the nominated films are in evocative black and white. The other one, Pawlikowski’s Cold War, shot

by Lukasz Zal, gets my vote—dark, intoxicating and complex.

Best Foreign Language Film: Going out on a limb here: with Roma poised to take Best Picture, Best Director and Best Cinematography awards, the Academy has no excuse not to bestow gold on the gorgeous Cold War. The 2019 Academy Awards will be broadcast live, Sunday, Feb. 24, at 5 p.m. on ABC.

(SP) EVERYBODY KNOWS Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi (A Separation, About Ellie) directed this film about a Spanish expat (Penelope Cruz) returning to her hometown near Madrid for her sister’s wedding. When unexpected events unfold, will secrets be exposed? Oh, hell yeah!

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD This is the third film in this series, people. If you haven’t learned how to train your dragon by now, you probably need to hire a professional. Directed by Dean DeBlois. Featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, and F. Murray Abraham.

(PG) 104 minutes. (SP)

42

NEVER LOOK AWAY German filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who took the film world by storm with his debut The Lives of Others, based this film on the life story of Gerhard Richter.

In an interesting twist, Richter himself despises it. (There is an exhaustive story about this saga in last month’s New Yorker.) Does that matter? Does it have any effect on the underlying true-orfalse qualities of the film? It’s an interesting question to consider as Donnersmarck tells the fictional (imagine lots of scare quotes and question marks all around that word) story of a post-World War II art student named Kurt Barnert, who falls in love with a fellow art student only to realize that her father was a Nazi. Starring Tom Schilling, Sebastian Koch and Paula Beer. (R) 188 minutes. (SP)

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

NOW PLAYING ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL James Cameron started developing this manga adaptation in 1999, but when it came down to actually making one of his two giantCGI-eyes projects in 2009, he chose Avatar instead. Director Robert Rodriguez rescued this from development hell, but what may have seemed edgy 20 years ago—a cyborg risking her life in a battle royale bloodsport designed to appease the post-apocalyptic masses … wait, hold on. So this movie is basically Rollerball? No wonder Cameron didn’t want to make it—it’s already been made twice! And one time it was even good! Starring Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, and Mahershala Ali. (PG-13) 122 minutes. (SP) COLD PURSUIT When I have to describe these revenge thrillers where some parent has to go after the criminals who wronged his or her family, I always say, “It’s like Taken, except with Jennifer Garner” or “It’s like Taken, except with Mel Gibson.” So what am I supposed to say about this one, where Liam Neeson plays a snowplow driver who goes after the criminals who wronged his family? “It’s like Taken, except with … Liam Neeson?”

Maybe just, “It’s like Taken, except really stupid.” Directed by Hans Petter Moland. Co-starring Emmy Rossum and Laura Dern. (R) 118 minutes. (SP) COLD WAR Every shot is thrilling in Cold War, Pawel Pawlikowski’s follow up to Ida. This lean, fast film concerns the paradox of mid-20th century discontentment. Example: At great cost to yourself, you escape the workers’ paradise of the Soviet empire, an Eden where they

tie your hands. You then arrive in capitalist heaven to face what Joni Mitchell termed “the crazy you get from too much choice.” Most of all, Cold War is a lustrous romance between a Michael Fassbinder-ish pianist, Wiktor, and the younger singer Zula, whose life is clouded by a crime she committed when she was a girl. Starring Joanna Kulig and Tomasz Kot. (R) 88 minutes. (RvB) THE FAVOURITE Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone and especially Olivia Colman as a cranky, insecure Queen Anne are all excellent as women jockeying for power in the man’s world of early 18th-century England.

But the narrative often goes awry in Yorgos Lanthimos’ witches’ brew of sex, politics and intrigue—if not historically, in terms of its weirdly comic tone. Lanthimos may be taking satirical aim at human folly—greed, ambition, depravity, especially among the oh-so-idle rich—but that’s a broad target. Too often, his contrived setups and deliberately provocative images don’t add up to anything. And as the fortunes of these women rise and fall, and viewer sympathies are meant to keep shifting, they remain little more than pawns in an exercise of mannered absurdity. (R) 131 minutes. (LJ) ISN’T IT ROMANTIC Rebel Wilson gets hit on the head and wakes up as the star of her own romantic comedy. Actually, a lot of wacky things happen to people in movies when they get hit on the head. But when I try it, I just black out and then wake up with a really bad headache. Maybe this wrench is too big. Or too small? I’ll keep experimenting. (PG-13) 88 minutes. (SP) THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART If you didn’t have very small children at the time, you were probably surprised at how much you were delighted by the first Lego Movie’s irresistible charm and wit. If you did have very small children, you were probably unsurprised at how much you were delighted by the first Lego Movie’s ability to hold your kid’s attention

so you could close your goddamn eyes for one goddamn minute. Well, now the sequel is here to provide the same tender mercies for a new generation of new parents about to lose their shit. Everything is awesome! Directed by Mike Mitchell. Featuring the voices of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett. (PG) 106 minutes. (SP) THE MULE Clint Eastwood apparently is a mule in this movie, which kind of makes sense, since we already know from his interviewing-a-chairat-the-RNC debacle that he can be a jackass. According to the publicity materials, it’s a true story based on the New York Times Magazine article “The Sinaloa Cartel’s 90-Year-Old Drug Mule.”

Ohhhh, a drug mule. I get it now.

Directed by Eastwood. Co-starring Bradley Cooper, Taissa Farmiga and Laurence Fishburne. (R) 116 minutes. (SP) ON THE BASIS OF SEX If you loved RBG in RBG, you might enjoy … more RBG! This time it’s a fictionalized version of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s early career, depicting her crusade for gender equality.

Directed by Mimi Leder. Starring Felicity Jones, Armie Hammer and Justin Theroux. (PG-13) 120 minutes. (SP) OSCAR-NOMINATED SHORT FILMS Endangered children, old age and regret, racism, irresponsible parenting, and random homicide all figure in the five live-action shorts nominated for a 2019 Academy Award. The companion program of animated shorts is not all that more upbeat, touching on dysfunctional psychiatry, dementia, divorce, and death, among other things. Grim seems to be the pervading tone among this year’s crop of fledgling filmmakers singled out by Academy voters. There are many lovely and intriguing moments in both programs— especially the animated offerings — but there’s not one E-Ticket item here that just grabs you by the lapels and leaves you awestruck. Maybe next year. (Not rated) Live Action: 109 minutes.

Animated: 80 minutes. (LJ)

SHOPLIFTERS This drama from director Hirokazu Kore-eda about a family that turns to shoplifting when they fall on hard times is about so much more than that premise suggests. I suspect it’d be cleaning up in foreign-language categories this awards season if it wasn’t for Roma. Starring Lily Franky, Sakura Ando and Miyu Matsuoka. (R) 103 minutes. (SP) SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Spider-Man, Spider-Man/Doing whatever several alternative universes full of Spider-Men can/Are there a lot?/Listen bub/Even Nicholas Cage/Voices one/Look out!/Here comes a new animated Spider-Man movie! Featuring the voices of Jake Johnson, Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Mahershala Ali. (PG) 117 minutes. (SP) STAN AND OLLIE Jon S. Baird’s biopic Stan and Ollie has a certain inflationary quality, regarding the appeal of a comedy team in their sunset years. But in lovingly recreating Laurel and Hardy’s mid-1950s tour of the UK, it’s a film with lots of charm. It doesn’t break new ground, but it has its stinging moments. When the two get into a fight about an old rift, this time Ollie’s slow burn is real, and so is Stan’s hesitant peacemaking.

John Paul Kelly’s lavish production design drips with nostalgia; it can be a tad too sweet and rich for the times, but it’s more evidence that this film was a labor of love.

Starring John C. Reilly, Steve Coogan and Shirley Henderson.

(PG) 97 minutes. (RvB) WHAT MEN WANT Yes, this is a remake of the Mel Gibson movie What Women Want from 19 years ago. Yes, they flipped the gender roles, so that this time Taraji P. Henson can hear men’s thoughts.

I think that’s great, as long as we don’t have to find out what Mel Gibson secretly wants, because I guarantee you it is terrifying.

Directed by Adam Shankman. Costarring Tracy Morgan, Aldis Hodge and Richard Roundtree. (R) 117 minutes. (SP)

FOOD & DRINK 515 Kitchen and Cocktails: Here we have the classic burger of the postWhopper era: a half-pound of Angus beef, plus swiss cheese (nice choice, adds a certain nuttiness), with the now-ubiquitous caramelized onions, sherry aioli and bacon. Bacon is the extra touch here. It announces that this is a very people-friendly burger—a burger that acknowledges the universal guilty pleasure that is bacon. The house fries here, as you know, are thin, crisp and delicious.

Gabriella Cafe: Take a walk on the wild side and order the “unbun” version of the house grass-fed burger, which arrives wrapped in a cloud of butter lettuce. Or play it safe with the Burger Weekfeatured, 6-ounce, grass-fed burger on a house-made bun with organic tomato and local lettuce ($12). Just sort of unbelievably good, with or without the bun. And don’t miss the side of Live Earth Farm pickles for $1 more. Endless possibilities.

Burger Week Bites Our food writer shares some of her favorites BY CHRISTINA WATERS

Q

uintessential Americana, the burger—grilled meat on a bun—was already on the menu at many an Elizabethan feast in the late 16th century.

Minced meat and pastry have been around for even longer. The German port of Hamburg seems to have lent its name, at first to versions of steak tartare, then to variations on Salisbury steak, and finally in the 1930s to the hamburger as we know it now.

Countless individuals, cities and fast-food chains claim to be the

originators of what has become a global go-to order—with a side of fries, of course. Here’s an inside look at some of my local favorites ahead of Burger Week, which this year runs Feb. 20-26.

West End Tap & Kitchen: One of the best burgers I’ve ever had in Santa Cruz was at West End Tap, where the house burger—grass-fed and pasture-raised—came on a Gayle’s challah bun ($13). Slightly sweet, the bun added a spot of luxury to the burger’s lettuce, tomato and

pickled onion toppings. It came with fries so good that I laughed out loud as I ate every single one. Cheddar, blue cheese, mushrooms, avocado, bacon—for a few dollars more, you can add any of these choice extras.

This particular burger already has it going on. The beef is terrific. The fries are textbook. I admit that I never fail to order the house pickles with the burger, since the sinusclearing tartness of the pickles cuts perfectly through the rich meat. Add a beer. Spend some time. Check out the NBA.

Mozaic: You have a choice of three burgers here this week, including the luscious house wild salmon burger, which is simply to die for with its honey Dijon and caramelized onions. The classic charbroiled Angus beef burger also comes with caramelized onions (both will run you a mere $12). The $10 veggie burger comes with provolone and fresh basil pesto, which sounds good even to a carnivore.

Red Restaurant and Bar: Here’s the burger I need to try this week: Red’s pistachio-encrusted crab patty with aioli, kimchi, arugula, and heirloom tomato. On a brioche bun with fries ($12). For the uninitiated, Red’s fries are a destination dish. Yes. Splash: This Santa Cruz Wharf spot is going all out in terms of gonzo spicing for Burger Week. In addition to an Impossible Burger and a crab cake burger, the kitchen here has stepped up the heat on its half-pound black Angus burger by adding green chile cheese and spicy BBQ sauce to its presentation. Fried shallots add crunch to the melting, gooey interior. All burgers here run a mere $10 for those of you who like it cheap—and who doesn’t?

Holy Smokes

Santa Cruz’s latest BBQ eatery is a real family affair BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

t only took four months for Holy Smokes BBQ to move from catering to the old U.S. Meal spot. With the help of her family, owner Janis Cota worked through Christmas and the New Year to open her first storefront.

A favorite local caterer, the family started with farmers’ markets in Sonoma before moving to Santa Cruz seven years ago. Her three kids grew up helping out in the kitchen, so Cota says opening a restaurant was a fairly natural progression for them. They previously did pop ups at East Cliff Brewing, and will now be serving food to the brewery and running the catering business, too. Cota says she wasn’t sure what to expect when they opened, but they have been so busy that they’ve had to hire extra help just to keep up.

Are you hiring other non-family staff?

JANIS COTA: We’ve hired a few people so my kids don’t have to work so much. I’ve hired three people so far, and I’m hiring someone to help me put everything together since I make everything myself—I made the carrot cake and macaroni salad this

morning. So she is going to have to video it or write it down, because I have all of my recipes in my head.

Why BBQ? My ex-husband and I purchased the barbeque [grill] to do long road trips to Mexico. We would go deep-sea fishing and have a BBQ. It was easy, and I just fell in love with cooking.

We’ve had that BBQ since 1996, and when we divorced it helped me support my kids. I never thought I was going to open a restaurant. It’s always been a dream, but when U.S. Meal closed so quickly, it was a rightplace-right-time kind of opportunity.

It was crazy how it happened.

Your back patio looks amazing!

Yeah, we redid it all. We have a firepit and a rotisserie that we will be doing whole pigs on. We’ll have cornhole and darts, plus we just applied for a beer and wine license, so hopefully we will get that in time for the summer. It is just a cool place to hangout, especially when the sun comes out. holysmokescountrybbqandcatering.com.

igh in the Los Gatos hills, along the winding Bear Creek Road, is Byington Winery.

This beautiful estate boasts acres of stunning property and impressive vineyards. Weddings, corporate events and parties galore are held both outdoors and indoors.

There are tables, umbrellas, gas and charcoal grills for your use (for a fee, and bring your own tools), and there’s a bocce ball court as well. Picnic tables are available on a first-come, firstserved basis but can be booked in advance for parties of 10 or more. The tasting “fee” for a picnic table is the purchase of a half-bottle of wine per person—to enjoy on the property or to take home. In a nutshell, Byington Winery is a fun and welcoming place to visit, and their wines are excellent.

The Chardonnay 2015 ($28) from Byington’s estate Tin Cross Vineyard in Alexander Valley is a bright and lively expression of this varietal.

White florals, lemon citrus and crisp green apple delight the palate— crowned with a clean, refreshing finish and softening into flavors of honeyed lemon custard. Byington suggests pairing the Chardonnay with risotto and spring vegetables.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES CHIRON ENTERS ARIES— HEARTS REMAINING OPEN On Feb. 18, Chiron (a minor planet between Saturn and Uranus) has left Pisces and entered Aries (all things new). Chiron remains in Aries until February of 2027. Chiron was a Greek centaur, a wise, kind and noble one. He was wounded and unable to heal himself.

In our astrology charts, the symbol of Chiron represents our wound, where we may feel broken, inadequate, shamed, and rejected.

Chiron, a Greek centaur—half-godlike human, half-horse—was a wise, just and noble healer, astrologer, teacher, doctor, and alchemist.

Interestingly, after Chiron was struck by a poisoned arrow, he was unable to cure himself.

Thus, the name wounded healer was applied.

Chiron’s symbol in our charts signifies where we hurt the most, and what we seek to heal. It is where

we can feel confused, left out, injured. It is our most basic of wounds.

Often it is a family wound. And, in our carrying this wound, the hope is that one of us will heal the wound forever.

Over lifetimes, we each have this task.

Chiron entering Aries begins a new cycle. Chiron in Aries says, “Let’s take a new look at this wound, become aware of what it is, its origin and source.

And find a way to heal it.” Chiron affects everyone, including countries and nations.

Chiron in Aries calls us to be of courage, take action, be pioneers, stand up for ourselves, and create a new story of ourselves. The wound builds in us new awareness of compassion and wisdom. On Chiron’s work we can echo Rumi in saying, “Life continues to break our hearts. ‘Til our hearts are able to remain open.”

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

It’s a most important time for Aries—perhaps the most significant. A new self-identity is emerging. Like a lotus, with roots deep within the earth, growing into the loveliest of flowers, there is and will be over the next seven years a self-unfolding that can feel both painful and profound. Read Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” (from Leaves of Grass). It helps identify deeply with the lostness you have felt, and the new lotus of self-appearing.

Tend and care for those close to you. Teach them what you know in kind and gentle ways. Allow them to teach you in return. Unconditional love transforms a relationship into something magical. It provides a renaissance and a protection for the relationship.

We become more awakened to our responsibility in relationships, more grateful and sensitive to the hurts of those close to us. Blocks and hindrances fall away.

Everything, everyone becomes valuable and sacred.

TAURUS Apr21–May21 You may enter into a more poetic and/or artistic way of life.

The poetic life helps to identify the sensitivities we sense and feel. With Chiron in Aries, you realize all that you do for others before tending to the self. You tend to the poor, the ill and the sick with great care and compassion. It is most important to begin to care for the self. Something may be “malingering.” More rest, sunshine, the earth, gardens, and homeopathics are needed.

GEMINI May 22–June 20 Call upon friends. They love you. Some friends have fallen away or are no longer available. Reach out anyway.

This may prove to be difficult; however, bypass the fear and embarrassment you are feeling. Ask friends to assist you, whether for physical, emotional or psychological needs. Friends want to be asked. Allow them into your “portal” of life, no matter what changes have taken place. Know that, under Venus, you are immortal.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

48

It is important, like Taurus, to tend very carefully and listen to the self in terms of what needs to be healed.

The messages may be very subtle. Know that there is never any failure on Earth or in heaven. Everything you do is a success. No matter what upbringing you had, no matter the parents’ expectations or yours, everything you’ve done has been a source of light, attainment and accomplishment. You are asked to humbly realize this.

What are your deepest longings and secret needs? What do you want to learn or teach? What have you never had a chance to achieve? Where do you want to travel?

What people and cultures do you seek to meet? What is your religion? What are your goals? Answers to these questions allow for a potent self-healing to come forth.

There is also a particular spiritual teaching from a great teacher that resonates with you. Perhaps the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path?

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 When we love more, healing takes place and there is no more karma. There are two laws that create unity: 1. The will to good creates goodwill within all that is around us; 2. Our intentions for goodwill create right human relations. These help eliminate criticism that always hurts and harms both the self and others. Virgo, ruled by Mercury, is called to think and speak with kindness at all times. Words heal or they hurt. May all your words heal.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 A healing occurs when you take care of yourself in all ways, purifying all levels–physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It is important to act as mentor for all those who encounter you. Everyone is looking to be taught. Scorpio, with its deep knowledge of both light and dark, can radiate the light of health, morality and ethics into the world. In this time of conflict, chaos and confusion, your light would be a light that purifies the darkness, until the darkness is gone.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 You learn through lovers, love affairs, children, and all that you create. Learning for you is constant, lifelong, over lifetimes. You have many different careers. It looks like one, but there are many facets involved. Do you feel you haven’t succeeded in your ambitions or your creative endeavors? Do you sense you could do better or more? Is there frustration or dissatisfaction? Do you feel somewhat irrelevant? Is there a wound, a suffering or inner agony? Is there an awakening you are still waiting for?

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Family, tradition, roots. Did you say recently you want to begin (or continue with) the family’s genealogy? Would knowing your ancestors help you feel more relevancy in your life? Are there memories from childhood coming forth? Are you feeling a sense that home is somewhere else?

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 There may be a sibling unavailable to you, which brings you a sadness and pain. Is communication an issue with someone? A misunderstanding or radically different point of view. Wanting to be understood may trigger a wound. Know this, and remember it. Everyone is on their own path of development. Everyone is doing their best to understand their lives. And those to whom you belong, they listen and understand you. The rest comes later.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 The other day, to a friend who couldn’t balance her monetary ins and outs and had no idea how to organize her finances, I said, “Let me help you figure out your finances, balance your accounts, so you know what you have, what you can pay back, what you can save.”

Chiron in the second house has to do with finances and values. And Pisces is about helping others. With Chiron in the second, the issue is always about self-worth. Self as valuable. When we rest in this knowledge, there is security and comfort. Chiron teaches us.

Provoking thought since 1990 The traditional paradigm of real estate teaches young Realtors how to sell homes. But the longer I do this work, the more I realize it’s never just about selling homes. That’s really the smallest part of the job. And thanks to an astonishing market these days, also the easiest.

No one sells their home for fun, or decides to pick up and move on a lark. Never has that been more true than now. The average time people spend in their homes has risen to a record 12 years, almost twice what it was in 2006.

On a basic level, selling a home simply means getting from Point A to Point B. Perhaps going from a two bedroom, one bath bungalow to a three bedroom, two bath ranch. Or from a larger executive home on a few acres to a single-level house near the beach.

On a deeper level, it’s about moving the whole of you from Point A to Point B in life. Taking the next step in your personal journey. Whatever that “why-thing” is that’s driving your change.

Maybe it’s getting married or having kids. Getting older or losing a partner.

Directions for getting from Point A to Point B in life are always fuzzy. There aren’t any road maps or GPS coordinates. You can’t put that kind of change into your Waze app and wait for a voice to tell you what to do.

The hardest part of the job these days isn’t selling houses. The greatest degree of difficulty comes from trying to figure out how to help the people selling the houses get over their own resistance to the very change they seek. So they can move forward in life.

Here’s a healthy meditation for anyone selling: draw a timeline of your life stretching from earliest childhood to now. Place all the homes you’ve ever lived in on it. Then take a long mental walk through each, remembering favorite rooms and the things you loved the most.

Then pull your focus back. Look at how old you were when each move happened. Recall those decisions and what was really difficult about them. See all the ways your life changed with each move. Up until the last one, when you became even more of the person you are today.

Your home isn’t your life. You are the force that animates the container within its four walls.

Like one of those crabs moving slowly along the ocean floor, you are just looking for the next shell that will house your life.

My husband and I began shopping here after we moved to Seabright. I loved Shopper’s immediately because of the wooden floors and store size — packed with everything you need — and its many wonderful and hard-to-find specialty products.

With the full-service meat department and real butchers — they make their own cuts, offer helpful tips and affordable options— we became regulars right away.You rarely wait in lines as the checkers are fast but very friendly. My sons, Owen and Nate, have always enjoyed Shopper’s. Familyowned businesses can make a big difference.

How so? Shopper’s is responsive to what people want.They carry many local products which their signage indicates and customers find valuable. For small-food startups, Shopper’s might be the first outlet to retail their products.You see more organic produce at Shopper’s these days and often times priced the same as the conventional.

That’s so appreciated. I enjoy baking yeast and quick breads, also fruit pies. Shopper’s is the only market where I can find summer rhubarb and these obscure canned sour cherries from Oregon — great for pies.There are many benefits to local ownership, including Shopper’s hiring teens!

What do you like to cook? I make some Italian/Mediterranean dishes; also American with meat and potatoes but with variations. I follow many food blogs and try new recipes when there's time. Recently, I made a farro salad and a radish salad. Because of Shopper’s, I’m starting to use Vietnamese/Asian seasonings and their noodles for pho. My favorite Shopper’s meat is marinated lamb chops — so good! We also get their ribs, steaks, prime rib, hams, chicken, and various sausages.Also seafood. I recently bought a coulotte steak for my son.The butcher offered to butterfly it. It was awesome!
