OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE In one of our news stories this week, by Kara Guzman, Soquel Creek Water District board member Bruce Daniels talks about a study that suggests that California has a greater than 80 percent chance of facing a multidecade megadrought by the end of the century. “What will happen if we get 30-year droughts?” he asks. “We’re going to have to make changes if we’re going to survive this thing.”

Not all of those changes will come by choice. I thought of that while reading Lily Stoicheff’s cover story about the devastation of the local olallieberry crop. It took a perfect

REPEAL PROP. 47

4

Re: “Is Prop. 47 Broken?” (GT, 8/25): Many people with experience working in the criminal justice system thought Prop. 47 was a poor idea with the potential for negative unintended consequences. No one should be surprised that Prop. 47 has resulted in an increase in property crime. Decriminalizing drug offenses leading to lesser legal consequences without requiring mental health and substance abuse treatment = continued drug addiction and resultant increased property crime. People have to pay for their drugs, and they primarily do that by dealing and stealing. You only have to look on the Next Door app for your neighborhood to see multiple complaints about increased property crime and break-ins. Because of the nature of addiction, most addicts will not seek treatment voluntarily. The only way to encourage addicts to seek treatment is to make the alternative to treatment less desirable than the treatment itself. If we don’t hold people accountable for their actions, we are basically permitting the drug addicts to continue their addictions.

We don’t need another expensive study to determine that this flawed law was a bad idea from the start. Let’s repeal Proposition 47 and let’s hold criminals accountable when they victimize our neighbors and our neighborhoods.

storm of complications to take one of Santa Cruz’s most iconic berry crops down, to be sure, including a fungus whose origin and even identity no one has yet figured out. But a key factor has been our last two abnormally warm winters, which led to sharply shortened seasons for the normally robust berry. That’s just one small example of the extreme weather fluctuations we’re in for if even a fraction of what Daniels is talking about comes to pass. Now, consider that berries make up 65 percent of the ag economy in Santa Cruz. We could be in for some huge shake-ups in our landscape, and we need to be paying more attention to stories like this that seem at first like small shifts—one type of berry out, another one there to take its place—but have much larger implications for our future.

DIVERSITY TALK I’d like to suggest that you diversify the printed opinions in Local Talk. Over the years, I’ve noticed how more often than not, each week’s Local Talk showcases the opinions of only white folks, though the ages generally have a wider range, from college age to retiree. There is a lack of visibility for people of color.

I recently read up on the platform of Drew Glover, who will be running for city council. As an African-American man and Santa Cruz native, he recounted feeling alienated and wants Santa Cruz’s culture and politics to reflect the histories and realities of the multicultural and multiracial communities here. It resonated with me as I’ve noticed the overwhelming whiteness of the local opinions printed in GT, even in such a casual “chatter” section. I’d like for our local publications to also reflect our racially diverse community.

I enjoy your publication, especially the features of Geoffrey Dunn, who often writes about the forgotten communities of color who lived in this area and also the often forgotten racism that has occurred on this land. After reading one of Mr. Dunn’s illuminating features about Santa Cruz’s old Chinatown or the work of Filipino migrant workers who’ve helped build Santa Cruz, I’ve felt slighted by the lack of visibility of >8 people of color in Good Times.

Community Bridges received a grant last week that should make 70 low-income seniors more comfortable and happy every day. A local MediCal nonprofit awarded the group $35,000 to upgrade equipment and technology at Elderday Adult Day Health Care, which is located in Santa Cruz’s Harvey West area. Empowering local seniors to remain mobile and independent, it’s the only program of its kind in the area.

In celebration of Santa Cruz’s 150th birthday, the city has launched an online timeline chronicling some of its biggest moments.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Truth decay is in its early stages. If you take action soon, you can prevent a full-scale decomposition. But be forewarned: Things could get messy, especially if you intervene with the relentless candor and clarity that will be required for medicinal purification. So what do you think? Are you up for the struggle? I understand if you’re not. I’ll forgive you if you simply flee. But if you decide to work your cagey magic, here are some tips.

1. Compile your evidence with rigor. 2. As much as is humanly possible, put aside rancor. Root your efforts in compassionate objectivity. 3. Even as you dig around in the unsightly facts, cherish the beautiful truths you'd like to replace them with.

The Illuminati do not want you to receive the prophecy I have prepared for you. Nor do the Overlords of the New World Order, the Church of the SubGenius, the Fake God that masquerades as the Real God, or the nagging little voice in the back of your head. So why am I going ahead and divulging this oracle anyway? Because I love you. My loyalty is to you, not those shadowy powers. Therefore, I am pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to evade, ignore, undermine, or rebel against controlling influences that aren’t in alignment with your soul’s goals.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

The dictionary says that the verb “to schmooze” means to chat with people in order to promote oneself or make a social connection that may prove to be advantageous.

But that definition puts a selfish spin on an activity that can, at least sometimes, be carried out with artful integrity. Your assignment in the coming weeks is to perform this noble version of schmoozing. If you are offering a product or service that is beautiful or useful or both, I hope you will boost its presence and influence with the power of your good listening skills and smart conversations.

Are you willing to lose at least some of your inhibitions?

Are you curious to find out what it feels like to cavort like a wise wild child? If you want to fully cooperate with life’s plans, you will need to consider those courses of action. I am hoping that you’ll accept the dare, of course.

I suspect you will thrive as you explore the pleasures of playful audacity and whimsical courage and effervescent experiments. So be blithe, Taurus! Be exuberant! Be open to the hypothesis that opening to jaunty and jovial possibilities is the single most intelligent thing you can do right now.

GEMINI May21–June20 What’s the current status of your relationship with your feet? Have you been cultivating and cherishing your connection with the earth below you? The reason I ask, Gemini, is that right now it’s especially important for you to enjoy intimacy with gravity, roots, and foundations.

Whatever leads you down and deeper will be a source of good fortune. Feeling grounded will provide you with an aptitude for practical magic. Consider the possibilities of going barefoot, getting a foot massage, or buying a new shoes that are both beautiful and comfortable.

AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

A woman in the final stages of giving birth may experience acute discomfort. But once her infant spills out into the world, her distress can transform into bliss. I don’t foresee quite so dramatic a shift for you, Cancerian. But the transition you undergo could have similar elements: from uncertainty to grace; from agitation to relief; from constriction to spaciousness.

To take maximum advantage of this blessing, don’t hold onto the state you’re leaving behind—or the feelings it aroused in you.

Santa Cruz Tides

In one of my dreams last night, a Leo sensualist I know advised me to take smart pills and eat an entire chocolate cheesecake before writing my next Leo horoscope.

In another dream, my Leo friend Erica suggested that I compose your horoscope while attending an orgy where all the participants were brilliant physicists, musicians, and poets. In a third dream, my old teacher Rudolf (also a Leo) said I should create the Leo horoscope as I sunbathed on a beach in Maui while being massaged by two sexy geniuses. Here’s how I interpret my dreams: In the coming days, you can literally increase your intelligence by indulging in luxurious comforts and sensory delights.

Play a joke on your nervous anxiety. Leap off the ground or whirl in a circle five times as you shout, “I am made of love!” Learn the words and melody to a new song that lifts your mood whenever you sing it. Visualize yourself going on an adventure that will amplify your courage and surprise your heart. Make a bold promise to yourself, and acquire an evocative object that will symbolize your intention to fulfill that promise. Ask yourself a soul-shaking question you haven’t been wise enough to investigate before now. Go to a wide-open space, spread your arms out in a greeting to the sky, and pray for a vision of your next big goal.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 If you are attuned with the cosmic rhythms in the coming weeks, you will be a source of teaching and leadership.

Allies will feel fertilized by your creative vigor. You’ll stimulate team spirit with your savvy appeals to group solidarity.

If anyone can revive droopy procrastinators and demonstrate the catalytic power of gratitude, it’ll be you. Have you heard enough good news, Sagittarius, or can you absorb more? I expect that you’ll inspire interesting expressions of harmony that will replace contrived versions of togetherness. And every blessing you bestow will expand your capacity for attracting favors you can really use.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 The fictional character known as Superman has one prominent vulnerability: the mineral kryptonite. When he’s near this stuff, it weakens his superpowers and may cause other problems. I think we all have our own versions of kryptonite, even if they're metaphorical. For instance, my own superpowers tend to decline when I come into the presence of bad architecture, cheesy poetry, and off-pitch singing. How about you, Capricorn?

What’s your version of kryptonite? Whatever it is, I’m happy to let you know that you are currently less susceptible to its debilitating influences than usual. Why? Well, you have a sixth sense about how to avoid it. And even if it does draw near, you have in your repertoire some new tricks to keep it from sapping your strength.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 It’s quite possible you will receive seductive proposals in the coming weeks. You may also be invited to join your fortunes with potential collaborators who have almost fully awakened to your charms. I won’t be surprised if you receive requests to share your talents, offer your advice, or bestow your largesse. You’re a hot prospect, my dear. You’re an attractive candidate. You appear to be ripe for the plucking. How should you respond? My advice is to be flattered and gratified, but also discerning. Just because an inquiry is exciting doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Choose carefully.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Would you like to become a master of intimacy? Can you imagine yourself handling the challenges of togetherness with the skill of a great artist and the wisdom of a love genius? If that prospect appeals to you, now would be a favorable time to up your game. Here’s a hot tip on how to porceed: You must cultivate two seemingly contradictory skills. The first is the capacity to identify and nurture the best qualities in your beloved friend. The second is the ability to thrive on the fact that healthy relationships require you to periodically wrestle with each other’s ignorance and immaturity.

Homework: All of us are trying to wake up from our sleepy delusions about the nature of life. What’s your most potent wake-up technique?

OPINION MODERN OLDERHOOD

DEMENTIA ODDITIES

SALE! Wednesday 8/31 - Monday 9/5

Additional 20% off all sale merchandise

Have you noticed any strange events in the patterns of someone with dementia? I have found that the emotional understanding is very much intact with some people I have come in contact with. They can catch a vibe or get a nuance of sarcasm, but they don’t know what month is it or if the dog was fed once or 100 times today.

I had one client’s father walk out in a huff, saying “well, if you are just going to talk amongst yourselves, then you don’t need me!” He was included, but could not hear well, so felt excluded. And shouting is uncomfortable for everyone so finding a balance is a challenge. I sense that because their senses are so diminished, mainly poor eyesight and hearing, that any social distance is even more upsetting to them. Feeling marginalized doesn’t take much in their delicate world.

Another clue was when I took the young child of a client’s to the movies; it sort of mushroomed into the whole family, including the aunt with dementia.

The aunt followed the entire movie plot perfectly, tended to the little boy sweetly, and explained to him not to be scared. She understood the nuances of the film and the critical plot points, good vs. evil, embracing diversity, and the importance of loyalty. But as soon as we all arrived home, she was right back to repeating herself and worrying about the weather.

If you are dealing with a parent or loved one with dementia, see if a movie helps. It’s a nice rest for you and they may plug a functional part of their brain into the plot and enjoy a day out. There is so much about dementia that is not understood and as the population ages there will be many more expressions of it showing up. Try different things, keep the stimuli up and hire a devoted caregiver who doesn’t have emotional baggage like offspring often do.

And share your stories. I would love to hear what you have learned, and any tricks and hints that make life easier as the caregiver of the person struggling with dementia.

If you are selling a home for an older parent, be sure to include them in the conversation. I have experienced that the details will elude them, but feeling respected and included will be important.

WELLNESS

THIS WILL LEAVE A MARK Cupping therapy involves the placement of heated glass or plastic cups on targeted areas of the body.

Cupping Comeback

A

mong the enduring images from this year’s Olympic Games are the dark, circular spots that dappled the back and shoulders of U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps. It looked like the 23-time Olympic goldmedal-winning swimmer had been in an underwater brawl with some sort of giant, tentacled sea beast (a tussle he would have likely won). But the battle scars were actually the markings of an alternative medicine therapy known as “cupping.”

While the practice of cupping is gaining popularity among athletes and Hollywood stars, it’s definitely not new. It’s been a part of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands

of years, and the ancient Greek philosopher Hippocrates, famous for his oath and sometimes called the Father of Western Medicine, also embraced and advocated for the Eastern practice of cupping. Even the ancient Egyptians were all about it, as the therapy is mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus, which, dating back to 1,550 B.C., is one of the oldest preserved medical documents.

Cupping therapy is administered by placing heated or vacuumpumped cups, usually made of glass or plastic, on a targeted body area for five to 15 minutes. As the heated cups cool, or the air is pumped out, vacuum pressure is created and the suction draws up the skin.

“It’s most commonly used for pain and chronic muscle tension, but can also help with colds, flu, asthma, lung function, and even anxiety and insomnia,” says licensed acupuncturist Beth Dorsey, an experienced practitioner for more than 10 years at Points for Wellness in Soquel. “It’s extremely effective, and increases circulation. If you can’t get blood flow to the area, it’s hard to heal the tissue.”

A 2016 study published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that cupping did improve blood flow and skin surface temperature, while also reducing participants’ subjective experience of neck and shoulder pain. Another study from

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6, 2016

Controversial body therapy sees an Olympic year resurgence BY ANDREW STEINGRUBE

this year, published in the Journal of Integrative Medicine, found that most participants showed markers of improved immune system function resulting from cupping therapy.

However, rigorous scientific studies, like blind randomized placebo controlled trials, are difficult to conduct effectively on something obvious and salient like cupping. This can make it hard for researchers to tease out the actual effects of treatment from placebo effects. A systematic review of the literature published in 2010 in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine looked at 550 clinical studies on cupping, and the authors found that a majority of studies showed potential benefits with respect to pain conditions. However, a review is only as strong as the studies it reviews, and the authors also noted that the quality of the randomized controlled trials they looked at were “generally poor” and that “further rigorous designed trials in relevant conditions are warranted to support [cupping’s] use in practice.” A similar review published in 2014 in the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences also concluded that cupping showed a positive short-term effect on reducing pain intensity, but noted that 10 of the 16 randomized clinical trials being reviewed were at either a high or unclear risk of bias.

And the authors of a 2011 Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies overview of systematic reviews on cupping therapy found that “most of the systematic reviews were of good methodological quality, but all had to rely on poor quality primary studies,” and “the effectiveness of cupping has been demonstrated only as a treatment for pain, and even for this indication doubts remain.”

But many athletes like Phelps have found cupping to be useful for managing pain. Dorsey says that she’s been getting more calls about the therapy recently, and that people seem more familiar with it. “In general, I’ve seen more openness to the integration of Chinese traditional medicine with the Western modality of medicine,” she says. “It’s great when we can integrate both schools of thought in order to provide the best care.”

RAIN STANCE Bruce Daniels, a climate change expert and Soquel Creek Water District board member, says that a lot of people

working in the field don’t fully understand the connection between climate change and water supply.

Drops of Wisdom

Why Bruce Daniels of the Soquel Creek Water District board left tech to become a climate change expert BY KARA GUZMAN

B

ruce Daniels likes analogies.

For example, the 67-year-old Capitola resident says his most-recent life change—leaving his tech career at age 59 and entering a UCSC doctorate program in hydroclimatology—was like “jumping into a swimming pool.”

All of a sudden, he had to do calculus again, and it had been 30 years since he’d taken a math class.

At the time, Daniels was a successful software engineer. He

began his career at Hewlett-Packard, then moved to Apple in the 1980s, where he wrote code for Apple’s early computers, the Lisa and its successor, the Macintosh. He then launched a startup that was bought

by Borland, worked for Oracle, and later for Sun Microsystems. He was considering a job offer from Google when he decided to take the plunge— quitting his line of work to study how the climate affects water supplies.

“I started getting a little antsy about that kind of work,” says

Daniels. “Certainly going from the Macintosh and the Lisa to any other kind of job is a letdown. I mean, you’re doing a project that has some value and some interest, but it’s not like creating this new revolution in computing. I started thinking, ‘Well, is this really what I want to do?’”

He was interested in water, and while working full-time in Silicon Valley, he had begun serving on Soquel Creek Water District’s board in 2000. He also served on a regional water quality control board. >14

Public-service and homeless advocates don’t deny that having three bathrooms open late in downtown Santa Cruz is an improvement over three years ago, when there were zero. But despite two new nighttime-only bathrooms downtown, they still have issues with the city’s policy on bathrooms; for instance, the fact that none of the new portable facilities are handicapaccessible.

“That’s a big problem I have with the Porta Potties,” says Zav Hershfield, local activist and a member of the Give a Sh!t Campaign. “They don’t provide access for people who are handicapped or have a mobility handicap. They can’t get into those, so what are they supposed to do?”

The answer to that question is found in back alleys downtown, according to longtime homeless activist Brent Adams.

That, he says, is where many people—not just the homeless—go to relieve themselves when they don’t want to wait in line for a restroom, or don’t have access to one.

“When people wake up and there is not a bathroom open, they have to get creative,” Adams says. “That means people go in bags and throw it away, they dig holes or they do it on the backs of [buildings]. It’s inappropriate, and we should do everything we can so that we never have to have that occur again.”

Installed in July for $10,000, the two toilets—one at Lincoln and Cedar streets, the other at Union and Cedar streets—are locked during the day and open from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night. The city’s 24-hour portable toilet, which opened three years ago at Front and Laurel streets, is still open all day and night.

The city also has a visitor restroom program, where Santa Cruz pays downtown businesses a monthly $400 stipend to keep the restrooms open to everyone— customers and otherwise. But the only business currently taking part is Bookshop Santa Cruz, which has kept its restrooms open to the public for 24 years, long before the visitor program launched in 2009.

Local Investors with a National Reach

By Datta Khalsa, Broker With local real estate prices at record levels, it has become increasingly difficult to find profitable properties, which is driving many real estate investors to look elsewhere for better returns. The trouble with going out of town is that most investors don’t have the bandwidth to pursue and manage the properties themselves.

This was a core reason for the formation of a small pool investment fund that I help run, where we handle multiple investments in other markets where the returns are better.

Recent acquisitions include several homes that the fund is flipping in the Phoenix area, with targeted yields of between 30-40%, as well as an off-market apartment complex that we currently have in escrow, which shows a similar profit potential of between 30-40%, while simultaneously presenting a back-up option as an 8% Cap rate investment as a long-term hold.

We also have a large development project in Fresno that we acquired earlier this year with excellent carrier cash flow with in-place rents at a 9% Cap rate. That property is now in escrow for twice what we paid for it with a developer who has proposed a mixed-use project there.

AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

All of these investments are in line with our general strategy of choosing properties with both upside potential and positive cash flow to help minimize risk in the event that any given market turns. And they have the added benefit of being diversified across multiple markets.

14

In other news, we recently partnered with a group who specializes in researching tax lien auctions across the country, and we have begun picking up the rights on multiple holdings in Houston and Philadelphia. The selection process involves driving literally hundreds of properties in preparation for each auction, putting bids in on only the ones that meet our targeted criteria of the face value of the tax lien being at 20-40 percent of the property value.

The majority of these tax liens pay out with 10 to 25% of face value guaranteed return, with rights to collect in-place rents, and redemption periods varying from 3 months to 6 months in the states we are tracking. The upside lies in the properties that do not get redeemed, at which time we can sell the property at its current Fair Market Value. We are also exploring opportunities in Florida where ownership is immediate with no redemption period and are likely going to enter that market as well.

It has been exciting to be a part of the growth and success that the fund has enjoyed as we continue to raise additional capital to pursue these and other opportunities that we have been able to find and facilitate. If you are interested in learning more, you are welcome to contact me to explore whether joining a pool such as ours could be a match for your investment needs as well.

Also, he already knew UCSC earth science professors Andy Fisher and Lisa Sloan, who encouraged him to apply, and eventually became his advisers.

“I really wanted to do [the Ph.D], so I put lots of time and effort into it, and persevered. I wanted to do something that was important, something that wasn’t being done very much,” he says.

“Climatologists can tell you about climate, precipitation and forecasts.

But then there’s very few people who can relate that precipitation to groundwater recharge, and it’s not a simple relationship.”

BIGGER PICTURE Daniels is now Soquel Creek Water District’s board president, and spends most of his time traveling and speaking publicly about climate change and water. He wants to show people the science behind how warming temperatures threaten water supplies. He uses analogies to

explain the complexities, of course— and they work.

He starts by describing the Earth’s atmosphere as a “little box.” It can hold a certain amount of water, known as humidity.

“You have to fill the box up completely, and then a little bit more before you get clouds, and then it has to fill up a little bit more to get rain.

Then essentially, when that happens, that box empties,” says Daniels.

Research shows that California’s rainy season, which currently runs from December to March, will shorten to an intense two-month season. The state’s weather patterns will become feast-or-famine—the storm seasons will be stormier and the dry seasons even drier, experts have said.

That’s because the Earth is warming. As humans burn fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. It’s like sleeping with an extra blanket on the bed—you get hot, Daniels says.

“That’s kind of what’s happening on the Earth. We’re putting extra blankets on the Earth. And that has to cause

the planet to warm up, because more energy is being kept inside the Earth than is leaving the Earth, so there’s an imbalance,” he says.

As the planet warms, more water in the atmosphere evaporates into steam, like a kettle on a flame. That makes rain less likely.

Back to the atmospheric box analogy: “In the future, the box gets bigger. Often you don’t get enough water in the box to get rain,” Daniels says. “When you have rain, the box is now bigger, so that rain is more intense.”

WATER SUPPLY AT RISK The crux of why this matters, says Daniels, is that California’s groundwater—the water-bearing soil and rock from which wells draw—will not recharge like it once did. The ground can only soak in a certain amount. So when the storms hit harder in a shorter amount of time, more rainwater will runoff and be lost, says Daniels.

He wants to sound the alarm, that everyone in California >18

NEWS BRIEFS AIR GAME The NorCal “radio wars”—as UCSC grad Steve Berman aka Bay Area Sports Guy dubbed them—have been going on since Entercom’s KGMZ-FM 95.7 “The Game” switched to a sports format in 2011 to challenge Cumulus’ KNBR-AM 680 “The Sports Leader.” But truth be told, there hasn’t been much to it, with KNBR dwarfing 95.7’s signal and maintaining a monopoly on the area’s top teams. Even as there were little moments of intrigue here and there—like when cocky upstart host Damon Bruce (he of the famous viral misogynist rant of 2013) and local legend Gary Radnich were laughably mismatched on the KNBR mid-morning show a few years back, which led to Bruce’s exile from 680 and eventual

defection to The Game—95.7 has never really threatened KNBR’s dominance.

That all changed last week, however, when the Golden State Warriors announced that they will be moving their games from KNBR to KMGZ. The Warriors are the hottest property The Game has ever been associated with—they also broadcast A’s and Raiders games, while KNBR will continue to be the flagship station for the Giants and 49ers. Just to underscore how huge this shake-up is, the Warriors had been on KNBR since they moved to the Bay Area in 1962.

If someone at The Game sold their soul to the Devil for this move, they got a great deal. With Kevin Durant joining a Golden State team that will be looking for revenge

after the Cleveland Cavaliers ruined their historic season, the Warriors are about to launch possibly the most anticipated season in the history of the NBA—certainly since Michael Jordan was in a Bulls uniform, at the very least. However, this move was most likely less Dr. Faustus (although he was said to have a mean jump hook) and way more KNBR’s shabby treatment of the Warriors over the last couple of years.

While they played arguably the biggest playoff games in franchise history this past spring, KNBR management was playing Giants preseason games instead, shoving the Warriors onto their embarrassingly dinky sister station KTCT-AM 1050.

Obviously tired of playing second banana, the Warriors

signed a deal that will put them on The Game through at least the 2019-2020 season.

For Santa Cruz fans, though, the question is: will they be able to hear those games?

While KNBR’s blowtorch 50,000-watt signal ensured most fans in Santa Cruz County could pick up Warriors games on their radios, KGMZ doesn’t reach anywhere close to Santa Cruz County, as far as I can tell. But fret not, guy wearing a Steph Curry jersey while driving to the Food Bin! The Warriors say they have a fix: games will be simulcast on Entercom’s KRTY-FM 95.3 out of San Jose, which comes in loud and clear here.

“Santa Cruz fans are all set,” says Lisa Goodwin, the Warriors’ director of corporate communications.

PORTA POTTY TIME City leaders hope their new portable toilet pilot program provides more bathroom options at a lower cost. PHOTO: JACOB PIERCE

16

FLUSH TO JUDGMENT <13 two other participating businesses, Pizza My Heart and Cafe Gratitude, although both have recently closed their bathrooms to non-customers. Neither business could be reached for comment, but Julie Hendee, Santa Cruz development manager and downtown specialist, says both closed because of vandalism. Hendee says she’s been doing outreach to other possible candidates.

This fall, city staff was also maintaining more-established 24-hour public bathrooms in the Soquel Avenue parking garage as part of a pilot program. In October, Scott Collins, the deputy city manager, told GT he was pleasantly surprised by how few issues they were having with the restrooms, and the city extended its three-month pilot program for another six months.

But Collins says problems began arising

toward the end of November, and police started getting more calls for service.

Then in late December, public works employees began closing those bathrooms every night at 10 p.m., according to a city memo, after cleaning crews came to the facilities one night to find broken lights, a soap dispenser torn off, and the bathroom walls spray-painted and smeared with feces.

Crews cleaned and repaired the restrooms, according to the memo, and returned later that night to find the walls had been spray-painted again. Santa Cruz police don’t have stats on how many incidents there were at the bathrooms, but the memo stated that there were 250 calls for service over the previous 165 days, including a spike in the middle of December. Collins says most of those calls were late at night, but it isn’t clear how many of those calls were after 10 p.m.

The new portable toilets, which were

trucked into Santa Cruz from out of the area, are the city’s latest pilot bathroom program, and Collins says staff will update the City Council in December, after about six months is up.

Many portable toilet companies, including local companies, declined to provide toilets to the city because of possible damage, says City Manager Martín Bernal. The city had looked into other options too, like the Portland Loos— stainless steel sidewalk toilet kiosks hailing from Oregon—years ago, but hit a wall when no businesses were willing to have the toilet near them.

Collins says the portable toilets are a low-risk option, as far as vandalism and damage go, since the plastic is repairable.

The portable toilet on Front and Laurel streets burned down in October. The cause of the fire is unknown, but it cost the city $1,000 to replace it. The toilets are installed

with a wooden frame around three sides to make them look nicer and also provide stability, making it harder for someone to knock them over.

Collins says it’s too early to tell, but the portable toilet system looks to be off to a good start. “The units are getting used and they haven’t been vandalized,” Collins says.

“So from that perspective, it’s a win.”

Adams, who is working on a crowdfunded documentary about homelessness on the West Coast, cleaned the portable toilet on Front and Laurel streets for months. He says it’s unfair that even when a city doesn’t have enough restrooms for the homeless to use, they are still criminalized for relieving themselves outside, and that public bathrooms aren’t just a homeless issue.

“Late night you have lots of college students and tourists, people peeing all over town,” Adams says. “It’s not just about poor people.”

needs to figure out how to make a sustainable water supply, and climate change needs to be factored into the solution. Since last year, he’s given dozens of talks to national groundwater associations, local water agencies and nonprofits.

One study that Daniels refers to in his talks shows that the Southwest, including California, has a more than 80 percent chance of experiencing a 35-year megadrought by the century’s end.

“California is a big agricultural state. What will happen if we get 30-year droughts? We’re going to have to make big changes if we’re going to survive this thing, and if our descendants are going to survive this thing,” Daniels says.

The water business must adjust, he says.

“A lot of the people who are working in the field don’t really understand this connection. They kind of know that climate probably impacts the water, but they don’t know the details. They don’t know the numbers behind it,” Daniels says.

Daniels, who wrote his dissertation on California’s rainfall records, says the state’s weather patterns began to come off the tracks around the year 2000. Between 1900 and 2000, only 30 years were considered “dry years.”

But now, out of the past 15 years, 11 years have been dry. That’s a huge increase, Daniels says.

“It’s almost like someone snapped their fingers and the world started working differently. There’s a lot of research going on exactly to that effect—it’s called Arctic amplification. Basically, as the Arctic warms up, the temperature difference between where we are and the North Pole is less, and it’s that difference that drives the jet streams,” says Daniels.

“And if the jet stream is driven less energetically, the jet stream slows down. Just like a river, it meanders more, and it may tend to get stuck in a particular pattern.”

Daniels stresses the need to understand the problem.

“There are all these surprising things that are happening out there, and most of them aren’t good,” he says. “We need to start thinking about how we deal with it.”

oah Gizdich, a fourthgeneration South County farmer, climbs out of his truck and walks toward a gently sloping field where young olallieberries are being trellised.

From a distance, the neat rows and

woven vines could be mistaken for a vineyard, until you get close enough to see the spiky leaves and fine, soft thorns.

The olallieberriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brief season has come and gone, and there are no dark, sweet berries to be picked on

these tender vines. This year, there were far, far fewer than expected.

Gizdich reaches into the trellis and pulls out a dried, rust-colored branch, at the end of which clings a single gray, desiccated berry. This, he says, is what became of more

than 50 percent of his crop this year, when a powdery mildew struck the berries just as they were ready to be picked, drying them on the vine and rendering them inedible.

That this as-yet-unidentified mildew would strike olallieberries is

unprecedented—no such blight has ever hit cane fruit in the area before.

No one could tell what it was at first, and within a few days, there was nothing they could do.

“We weren’t able to fight it off,” says Vincent Gizdich, Noah’s

father. Vincent’s grandfather established Gizdich Ranch outside of Watsonville in 1937, and his family has been growing olallieberries since they became commercially available in the 1950s. Earlier this spring, a similar plague and several

Olallieberries, whose name simply means “berry” in Chinook, are a cross between loganberries, which were first cultivated in Santa Cruz County at the turn of the last century, and youngberries.

Originally bred to grow in Oregon, ironically they’ve never done well there, but have flourished in California—especially on the coast, where chilly, moist winters and warm days allow their distinct flavor to develop.

Olallieberries were grown widely

other factors led Swanton Berry Farm to remove all of their plants, making Gizdich Ranch the last major grower of olallieberries in Santa Cruz County. After years of market decline, drought and everweakening plants, a part of Santa Cruz’s agricultural heritage is fading away.

The mildew was brought on by an unusually warm winter, followed by rain during the critical bloom time in late April and early May. Usually, says Gizdich, farmers are worried about frost striking the berries at this critical point, but last winter was unseasonably warm.

“It’s a bad thing to have a warm winter. When it’s time to bloom, you’ll have a lethargic bloom, and the plants have a hard time pollinating because the flowers aren’t blooming at the same time, which leads to staggered fruit size and ripeness,” he explains.

Cane fruit like olallieberries need a cold winter, which kills wintering insect eggs, makes for a hardier plant and puts the bush into a more dormant state. Instead, consecutive drought years and rising temperatures have weakened crops and exposed them to new, unprecedented dangers.

“You have to be optimistic,” says Gizdich, his voice matter-of-fact.

“That’s farmers. Most farmers are hoping our weather will return to a more normal pattern with colder winters. We want to see the water in the dog bowl frozen in the morning.

We haven’t seen that in a long time.”

<21 in Santa Cruz County for most of the second half of the 20th century, and have established themselves as part of our local identity. Vincent Gizdich’s father and uncle grew over 50 acres of olallieberries in the 1960s, one of the largest cultivations in the area, and could hardly keep their olallieberry pies, preserves and desserts on the shelves. It’s still their most beloved product.

“When we make olallieberry pie, people really go for it, and olallieberry is the best-selling jam. We don’t have to say it’s the best selling. They buy it and come back. It’s that good,” says Vincent Gizdich. At one point, he says, the berries were so plentiful they were harvested mechanically. “You had to operate the machines at night, when the berry’s connection to the cane became more brittle. During the day, the vibrating fingers didn’t have as much effect on the pliable stem,” he explains. Local packers and freezers processed the berries and transported them to farther locales. They became

the herald of summer, arriving before blackberries and lasting throughout the season in the form of pies, preserves and baked goods.

After a high point in the ’80s and early ’90s, production of olallieberries began to decline as raspberries and blackberries became the preferred local cane fruit cultivars. Although they were arguably more delicious, olallieberries had one harvest in the spring; blackberries and raspberries had a second in the fall. Also, the delicate berries couldn’t be shipped fresh. As Gizdich puts it, “You could hardly truck them across town to the market without them bruising.” Because they’re difficult to transport, the vast majority of olallieberries are processed by either freezing or incorporating them into another product. But farmers can make considerably more money by selling fresh berries, and one by one they replaced their olallie bushes with something that

BEGINNING OF THE END In addition, the blackberry season in Mexico overlapped with the olallieberry season and local proprietary breeding programs began pushing olallieberries out of the market. As a result, nurseries stopped the crucial practice of producing new, healthy plant stock, or “refreshing the line.”

That, according to Mark Bolda, the Strawberry and Caneberry Farm

Advisor for Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties, was the real beginning of the end for the olallieberry.

Bolda explains that plants, like all living things, have a lifespan, and as they get older they’re more susceptible to diseases. With cane fruit, it’s a common practice for farmers to tear out the older plants every few years and replant with young, disease-free starts. These starts are created at nurseries through a meristem culture, which involves taking a single, defect-free cell and growing a new plant.

<25 from farmers for olallieberry starts, the market became too small for nurseries to make a return on the costly meristem process. They stopped hitting the refresh button, and farmers started noticing their plants weren’t as robust as they used to be, and were producing smaller fruit—as low as four to five grams instead of 12 to 15.

As a result, claims Bolda, “If you’d had strong, vigorous plants, this mildew wouldn’t have been half as serious an issue. And that’s not a knock on the farmers. They know what they’re doing. They’ve been doing it a long time.”

Nesh Dhillon, operations manager for the Santa Cruz County Farmers Markets, says he’s sorry to see olallieberries fading from Santa Cruz fields.

“It’s not something that you see a lot of places, and it has just a unique sweet-tart flavor,” says Dhillon.

“It was a significant crop for the people who grew it. It takes a special touch.”

Berries are the most substantial agricultural commodity in Santa Cruz County by far. According to the Santa Cruz County 2015 Crop Report, production of strawberries, raspberries and other berries brought in $404,665,000 last year, making up more than 65 percent of the local ag industry. The coastal fog creates the perfect environment for berries—not too hot and not too cold—and has allowed them to flourish here for more than a century.

But the last two winters have been significantly warmer than usual, with temperatures into the 80s and 90s in February and March when they should be in the 40s and 50s.

The increased temperatures confuse olallieberries into thinking there wasn’t a winter at all, disrupting their normal rhythms. Like a student who pulls an all-nighter before a big test, without a resting period, olallieberries under-perform.

And for a crop that has a single, brief harvest in a competitive market, every berry counts.

Olallieberries aren’t the only crop that has been negatively affected by changing weather patterns. Apple production has fallen by almost half since 2013, from $11.9 million to $6.3 million, in part because the trees require a certain number of “chill hours” to store up energy and produce fruit. The drought has also deprived their deep roots from getting enough water. In 2014 and 2015, the plants barely registered a winter season.

“Climate change is real,” states Noah Gizdich as he looks out at the new olallieberries. “You just have to hope this isn’t the new normal.”

According to Gary Griggs, distinguished professor of earth sciences at UCSC and co-author of the 2011 City of Santa Cruz Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment, it’s difficult to determine if farmers can expect more of the same in terms of weather, but he doubts it.

“It’s very difficult to take one year, two years, or even five years and come to a sound scientific conclusion, at least on a local scale,” says Griggs. “Certainly the farmers and water purveyors feel and notice the effects before most people, but it’s difficult to look at even 145 years of precipitation and try to arrive at a simple conclusion. The drought has been severe, but not unique.”

Bolda agrees that although the weather of the last few years has not been kind to some crops, there’s no reason that farmers shouldn’t be optimistic as they look towards the future. “Last year, for example, for apples was awful, but this year, owing to an abundance of not only chill but also lots of rain to wash away built up salts, things are looking much better,” says Bolda. “Farmers should not expect the same, nor would they be in business for long if they fought change. One needs to adapt to the conditions on the ground.”

Mrs. A’s Famous Salsa Buena

28

“My life is so crazy. It’s beautiful, but it’s crazy,” Leah Aguayo says excitedly when asked to describe the journey that led to the success of her salsa company, Mrs. A’s Salsa Buena.

Buena can now be found in close to 200 stores throughout Northern California, and she is hoping to expand to Whole Foods Markets in the Southern California and Rocky Mountains regions soon.

Aguayo’s story is rooted in her childhood. ”I was always cooking with the mothers and grandmothers instead of playing,” she says. But it truly began eleven years ago when the high school ceramics teacher’s third period students stopped her after class.

For years she had organized potlucks and brought in snacks for her students, including her salsa, to reward good behavior and build a sense of community. Her salsa was so beloved, her students believed that she should try and market it.

When asked why she believes her salsa is so successful, Aguayo instinctively looks at her hands.

“I need to work with my hands.

I’m a potter, and I have to cook all the time. Everything is cut and chopped and sauteed by hand. We hand mix everything, and then every container is dipped, poured, head-gunned and passed onto the date stamper. It’s magical, the way that Salsa Buena is produced,” says Aguayo.

With their encouragement and a label designed by one of the students, Aguayo started going door to door, selling her salsa to local markets. A few years later in 2007, her product was named one of the top ten foods at the Fancy Food Show. Mrs. A’s Salsa

The “magic” all happens at their kitchen at the Sash Mill in Santa Cruz at the space formerly occupied by Farmhouse Culture.

Salsa Buena moved into the space, where Aguayo works with her husband (also a ceramics teacher), her son and two employees, shortly after her sixtieth birthday. With two successful flavors already on the

shelves, they plan to release three new salsas this year—a sweet and spicy Pineapple Mango salsa, Salsa Verde, and Rojo Loco, which means “Crazy Red.” “It’s not hot, but rich in chili flavor,” explains Aguayo.

“And it can actually be used as a salsa or a simmer sauce.”

In addition to the unwavering support of her students and community, Aguayo credits Santa Cruz Community Credit Union for helping to make Mrs. A’s Salsa Buena a reality. “My husband and I opened an account with them when we were at UCSC almost 40 years ago. The number on our savings account is one of the first ones they ever issued.” When it came time to finance Mrs. A’s, she and her husband turned to the same community credit union that had supported them since they were teenagers.

“Just as we took a leap of faith, they took a leap of faith in us,” says Aguayo. “And they’re tickled as tickled can be about our product!”

<27 luring travelers to stop and pick organic strawberries, kiwis and blackberries. Until recently, drivers might have slowed after seeing a sign for olallieberries, the rarity or simple curiosity factor too tempting to resist. Where they would have once been greeted by rows of trellised vines now lies a freshly tilled field, gaping like a missing tooth, surrounded by row upon row of ripe tayberries (a cross between blackberries and red raspberries) and strawberries, and rimmed by coastal redwoods.

After 25 years, 2016 was the last season for organic Swanton olallieberries, making Gizdich Ranch the lone commercial grower of olallieberries in Santa Cruz County. The devastation from the powdery mildew in spring was so complete and immediate that Swanton farmers opted to remove all of their plants, lest the mildew spread to nearby blackberries and strawberries. To add insult to injury, they were barely able to harvest 10 percent of the fruit before the mildew obliterated the rest of their crop.

Sam Lustig, a baker at Swanton for 10 years, talks about this decision with the even tone of someone who has come to terms with bad news.

In some ways, he says, they were lucky. While such a considerable loss—$70,000 by his estimate—would have devastated other small farms, Swanton’s pioneering Employee Stock Ownership Program, which allows

employees to purchase shares in the company, ensured that none of the full-time staff suffered from the loss.

Still, it feels like the end of an era. This year, for the first time in a generation, the organic olallieberry U-Pick never opened. Next year, there will be no backstock of frozen olallieberries to become award-winning pies, and within six months Lustig anticipates that the olallieberry preserves will be gone from their shelves—even with the price raised from $12 to $15.

Within a half an hour on a bustling Tuesday afternoon, three different parties ask Lustig, "What’s an o-lay-lee berry?" After they leave, he says half-jokingly, “Honestly, I don’t know what I’ll do when I don’t have to answer this question any more.”

The silver lining for Swanton, he believes, are their tayberries, which were first patented in 1979 in Scotland and named after its longest river. Another blackberryraspberry cross, their large, ruby fruits aren’t harvested until they’re practically falling off the vine, making them too delicate for commercial production, but their sweet, enigmatic flavor has created a passionate following. “I think tayberries are the most delicious berries in the world. They’re the berries of royalty,” Lustig says passionately. “I think the memory of olallieberries will fade from Santa Cruz memory once tayberries take the spotlight.”

Kenneth Rexroth, and Anne Sexton.

Big and handsome, Hitchcock was a man of many pursuits, from politics to gardening. That he also became an accomplished painter should then come as no surprise.

Yet this visually exuberant side of the writer is sure to surprise, and as two upcoming shows will reveal, to disarm, as well.

Into folkloric settings and wry vernaculars, Hitchcock placed his subjects at the intersection of surrealism and magic realism.

Fantasy and dream permeate most of the pieces that will be shown at Felix Kulpa, starting Friday, Sept.

2. Hitchcock himself admitted that he approached painting—as he did poetry—as a discovery, a voyage to be enjoyed. The self-taught Hitchcock created a steady stream of sophisticated, deceptively playful paintings in both his Eugene, Oregon home as well as his Baja residence over the last 20 years of his life.

The paintings have an appealing primitivity. Odalisques, jugglers, and street vendors share the picture plane with roosters, soldiers, and Aztec handball players à la Picasso. His sense of composition is astute.

In one bold piece, Hitchcock has balanced an enormous profile of a woman holding a hand mirror—her face the color of sunburned bronze— against a rough-hewn yellow chair and an olive-green window. The artist’s sense of where his figures are in relation to each other is dynamic yet elegantly equipoised.

You can feel his enjoyment in each mark outlining the shapes.

The painter’s color choices are as tasty as they are unexpected: The

boy riding with great panache on a skateboard, moves across a field of butter yellow. Along with blue shorts and a blue baseball cap, he wears a rich crimson sweatshirt emblazoned with the word “ZEUS” and two jagged lightning bolts. Whimsical, yes. But also a solid construction of colors, shapes and youthful hormones.

Those familiar with the spare, feral modernism of Hitchcock’s plays and poetry will be intrigued by the paintings. They display a strong, clear flourish of surreal juxtapositions. But of course they should, coming from the man who wrote: “I am in a forest looking for fragments of speech.”

(Directions, 1978).

The artwork happily proclaims the man and his self-made life, one in which he essentially did it his way.

Those who knew him for the years he lived in Santa Cruz —before the earthquake invited him to relocate to his native Oregon—will find both the man they knew and another persona he performed during the last two decades of his life. At his death at the age of 96 in 2010, he’d left the world hundreds of paintings, scores of exhibitions, and many admiring collectors of his imaginative pieces.

The exhibitions at Felix Kulpa will undoubtedly add more admirers, and collectors, of the surprising artwork by a literary legend.

George Hitchcock’s paintings are on display through September and October 2016. Felix Kulpa Gallery, 107 Elm St., Santa Cruz. 408-373-2854. First Friday reception 5-9 p.m. Sept. 2. Informal discussion of the artist’s work and life 4-6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10. Second exhibition First Friday Oct. 7.

Top Pick Bay Area native Molly Tuttle can play circles around her singer-songwriter peers BY CAT JOHNSON

S

inger-songwriter Molly Tuttle is a talented wordsmith and vocalist, but what really sets her apart from her contemporaries is her playing. She is a mind-blowingly good roots music picker—a bona fide guitar shredder.

On her version of Townes Van Zandt’s “White Freightliner Blues,” for instance, Tuttle wastes no time showing what she can do as she pairs the slow and lonesome vocals with tight guitarwork. At the first break, however, she takes things to the next level, playing so fast and precise, and

with such emotional depth, that one is left shaking their head in disbelief.

And there are plenty more songs where that one came from.

Growing up, Tuttle had an unfair advantage over her peers. Her dad is Jack Tuttle, a well-known artist and music teacher in Palo Alto. By the age of 8, she had a guitar in her hands, and by 10 she was performing bluegrass songs around town and opening for other artists. By the time she was 15, she had the musical foundation to teach herself whatever styles and techniques she wanted to learn.

“I played a little bit of piano … and

tried violin when I was really little,” she says, “but neither of those really stuck. When I finally started on guitar, that’s what I really liked to practice.

That’s when I kind of took off.”

One of Tuttle’s early idols was bluegrass legend Hazel Dickens, a woman who led her own bluegrass band and possessed an authenticity that ran through all her songs. In a nice twist of fate, Tuttle attended the Berklee College of Music on a Hazel Dickens Memorial Scholarship.

“I’ve always loved her music, so it was an honor to get that scholarship,” says Tuttle. “She was the first

bluegrass singer whose voice really spoke to me. I could tell it was a really honest voice and a unique voice and that inspired me to try to find my own unique voice—to be really true to the songs I’m singing.”

While playing music comes naturally to Tuttle, she doesn’t consider herself a natural performer.

She says she’s had to work on things like audience banter and stage presence. During our conversation, she’s warm but reserved, opening up just enough to respond to questions, but not offering up any more than is necessary.

But who needs words when you can play like Tuttle? When she cuts loose on guitar, you can bet that everyone in the room sits up and takes notice. Like a master of any craft, she makes it look easy.

The trick to developing her picking skills, she says, is to play songs differently each time—to try new guitar runs, timing and changes.

Tuttle’s willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of roots music has placed her comfortably in the progressive bluegrass genre, where artists like the Punch Brothers and Trampled by Turtles draw from the rich traditions of pioneers, including David Grisman and John Hartford, and continue to move the genre into new territory by incorporating jazz, rock, experimental music, punk and more.

A Bay Area native, Tuttle now lives in Nashville. For her upcoming performance at Don Quixote’s, Tuttle is bringing her four-piece band. She plans to play bluegrass standards as well as some original tunes. When asked what advice she would offer newcomers to bluegrass guitar playing, she says to connect with other musicians through jams and roots music festivals, and to learn from the giants of the genre.

“It’s a really community-oriented music,” she says. “Just get out there and play with other people. And, of course, listen to classic bluegrass, like Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers and just get educated in it.

Those are the most important things when you’re getting started.

Molly Tuttle will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $10/ adv, $12/door. 335-2800.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND TOBY GRAY HIGHWAY BUDDHA

Toby Gray’s baritone speaking voice is coarse but warm; his measured tones would make for a perfect narration of a Cormac McCarthy audiobook or some classic Western. So it’s not surprising that Gray’s singing voice is well-suited to the Americana music he performs both solo and with his backing band, Highway Buddha.

AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“Through music, we get rid of the obstacles in our heart,” Gray says.

“I’m not religious, but I believe in spirits within you.” The name Highway Buddha is a nod to the artist’s years spent wandering Middle America, and his lifelong interest in Eastern religion.

46

His unique strain of spiritual folk, which he describes as “hot tub music—esoteric, tabla, eastern stuff,” was inspired in part by his childhood years spent on a farm in Appalachian Ohio. Gray draws from these experiences during live sets, where he weaves stories of moonshine-laced drum circles and various hippie exploits between songs.

His narration gives the stories an oldtimey authenticity, but when asked if his tales are always truthful, Gray responded with a robust “Oh, hell no!”

Gray recalls with nostalgia the heyday of musician’s unions, back when he played upright bass for jazz clubs in the ’70s. “The union was a blessing—you could make really good money playing music, $50 an hour in the ’70s. It was a respectable living.” KATIE SMALL INFO: 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 4. Pono Reef Bar, 120 Union St., Santa Cruz.

Complete with “Pinball Wizard,” “Go to the Mirror,” “I’m Free” and more, the opry promises to bridge worlds and challenge musical preconceptions.

Ren Geisick, as part of Kuumbwa’s “Live & Local” series. A rising artist steeped in jazz but drawn to a vast array of songs from Motown and Nashville to Tin Pan Alley and Austin, Geisick is a singer who is all the more exciting for being a work in progress. Berkeley-reared Schwartz is already a sought-after accompanist with top jazz and bluegrass artists, and Dryden, an Aptos High grad, has performed with heavyweights like drummer Lenny White, violinist Regina Carter, and singer Norah Jones.

REGGAE-POP

ETHAN TUCKER Ethan Tucker, a singer-songwriter from the Pacific Northwest, spent the better part of four years touring and gigging relentlessly before releasing his breezy reggae pop album Misunderstood last year. The album came about after Tucker gave Michael Franti an impromptu backstage performance—Franti loved it so much, he brought him to his San Francisco studio to record him. You can

see the appeal; Tucker strikes a balance that is equal parts Jimmy Cliff and Jack Johnson. Reggae may have a reputation as laid-back, but Tucker’s music is really, really mellow. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $10/adv, $12/door. 429-4135.

PROBLEM

PUNK

TERRY MALTS On the surface, San Francisco trio Terry Malts is a run-of-the-mill pop-punk band. Its scuzzy guitars and punchy hooks seem almost paint-by-number in their punk rock precision. But underneath the obvious identifiers, this is a group with deadpan apathy and a self-defeating bizarre sense of humor, which makes everything they do seem a bit off.

Even their website is set up to look like a lawyer’s home page, with few indications that it is actually Terry Malts, the band, not Terry Malts,

SUNDAY 9/04 HIP-HOP Jason Martin, known more widely by his stage name Problem, is genuinely straight outta Compton, where he broke into the hip-hop scene after a major collaboration with Snoop Dogg in 2007. Problem’s rap career immediately took off and included further collaborations with notables Kendrick Lamar, 9th Wonder, Wiz Khalifa, Childish Gambino, John Legend and others. The rapper and producer has released several mix-tapes in the last decade, but made his first solo album in late 2013, Understand Me. The Santa Cruz show is Problem’s last stop on the #litlife summer tour. KS INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/door. 429-4135.

Second-generation roots reggae artist Luciano’s religious music focuses on his Rastafarian faith and uplifting messages of love and acceptance. Born Jepther Washington McClymont, Luciano is the seventh of nine children, the son of two musicians. He taught himself how to play music on his father’s handmade guitar while growing up in 1970s Jamaica. Luciano’s moniker is a nod to world-renowned operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti’s influence, and bears symbolic significance as well: “Luci” means “bearer of light” in Latin. Throughout his career, the prolific artist has released a minimum of three albums every year, with his entire catalog boasting more than 40 complete records. KATIE SMALL

studied music in Istanbul and then Amsterdam, where he collaborated with a wide variety of musicians. The experience deepened his spiritual connection to music and inspired the Mehmet Polat Trio, a cross-cultural group comprising Polat, Victor Sams on ngoni and percussion, and Pelin Başar on ney. The resulting sound is a celebration of joy, peace, unity, spirituality and human connectedness. CJ

Fifty-plus years into a celebrated career, British band the Zombies is one of the great rock acts of all time.

With a slew of hits, including “She's Not There,” “Tell Her No,” the classic rock staple “Time of the Season,” and an album—1968’s Odessey and Oracle— that regularly appear on greatestalbums-of-all-time lists, the Zombies are assured a spot in the annals of rock history. In recent years, the band, led by vocalist Colin Blunstone and keyboardist and vocalist Rod Argent, has continued to write, tour and record, keeping the show on the road. Also on the bill: singer-songwriter Bruce Sudano. CAT JOHNSON

FILM

DATE WE CAN BELIEVE IN Writer-director Richard Tanne captures the budding love of the Obamas,

played by Tika Sumpter and Parker Sawyers, in ‘Southside With You.’

AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

First Love

52

Presidential couple’s first date charmingly imagined in ‘Southside With You’ BY LISA JENSEN

W

hen a political figure segues out of office, his life becomes fodder for pop mythology. When George W. Bush left office, he was the subject of (or subjected to) an Oliver Stone biopic about his youth as a hapless, reluctant scion of a wealthy political dynasty.

The Obamas are still in office, but they’ve already inspired Southside With You. Writer-director Richard Tanne’s valentine to the first couple is a charming sort of “origin story” that befits their rock star/superhero status, detailing the events and conversation that transpired on the first day they spent together. The talk is interesting, the revelation of character subtly done, and the

potential for romance undeniable in this thoughtful, witty movie that might as well be subtitled My First Date With Barack.

Actually, a “date” is what young Michelle Robinson (Tika Sumpter), second-year attorney at a Chicago law firm, insists she is not going on, this summer day in 1989. As she assures her parents (with whom she still lives in their Southside home), she’s merely going to a community organizing meeting with a work colleague, young law associate Barack Obama (Parker Sawyers), who’s recently joined the firm. She laughs it off when her mom (Vanessa Bell Calloway) reminds her that she once described Obama as another “smooth-talking brother.”

Nevertheless, Michelle gets

reasonably dolled-up for the outing.

As a woman—especially a woman of color—in a predominantly white and male law firm, she understands the importance of looking professional at all times. Barack, on the other hand, is seen lounging around in his undershirt, reading and smoking cigarettes, until the last possible minute, when he pops on a shirt, and hops into his battered Nissan Sentra to pick up Michelle.

There’s a hole in the floor on the passenger side through which she can see the road racing by, and cigarette butts in the ashtray. To Michelle’s further dismay, Barack suggests starting their day at an African-American art exhibit.

Protesting that they are not on a “date,” she agrees to go along, and is

impressed, not only by the work, but

by Barack’s knowledge of the artists.

(Like Ernie Banks, the unsung painter who provided the artwork supposedly done by the JJ character in the TV sitcom Good Times.)

At the meeting in a neighborhood church, the residents praise Barack’s ability to “get things done.” They go out for a bite and a beer, catch Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing, and end up at a Baskin-Robbins. And through it all, they talk, gently needling opinions and revelations out of each other, as people do when they’re interested in getting to know somebody better.

These conversations evolve naturally, in bits and pieces, as the story progresses. Barack is still coming to terms with his identity: his father is a black man from Kenya who dropped out of Harvard; his mother is a white Midwesterner, and he was born in Hawaii and raised by his white grandmother. Michelle’s parents insisted on education for their two kids, yet Michelle finds that, as a young woman of color, she has to work twice as hard at her job to earn her colleagues’ respect.

She advises Barack to let go of his anger at his father. He intuits her frustration at working on trademark copyright cases when she really wants to be working for justice for the people. The better they understand each other, the more they both realize that this relationship might be going somewhere.

Of course, we know exactly where it’s going. And if you think that’s a good thing, you’ll appreciate the warmth and good humor with which this story is delivered. (When Michelle is surprised to hear that they had Baskin-Robbins franchises in Hawaii, Barack has to gently remind her that Hawaii is part of the United States.) Sumpter and Sawyers persuasively inhabit their roles (even playing such familiar characters), and their abstract gazes, alone in their separate homes at evening’s end, will resonate with anyone who has ever suddenly been in love.

SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU ***(out of four) With Tika Sumpter and Parker Sawyers.

Written and directed by Richard Tanne. A Miramax/Roadside Attractions release.

Rated PG-13. 81 minutes.

GHOSTBUSTERS After what feels like a very long year of advertising for this film, the highly anticipated and even more highly criticized all-female reboot of the franchise is finally available to be ripped apart by every Ghostbusters fan, ever (RIP Harold Ramis).

Charlize Theron, Art Parkinson, Ralph Fiennes co-star. (PG) 101 minutes.

MECHANIC: RESURRECTION This is the real IMDB description: “Arthur Bishop thought he had put his murderous past behind him when his most formidable foe kidnaps the love of his life.” Now, read it again in Jason Statham’s voice and you’ll know all you need to know about this film.

Also, Jessica Alba still “acts.” Dennis Gansel directs. Jason Statham, Jessica Alba, Tommy Lee Jones costar. (R) 99 minutes.

NINE LIVES In case you were wondering why Kevin Spacey was teaching a master class on acting, watch him become a cat. That’s how good he is. Barry Sonnenfeld directs.

Jennifer Garner and Robbie Amell costar. (PG) 87 minutes.

PETE’S DRAGON OK first things first: the ranger in this movie is not Jessica Chastain—it’s Bryce Dallas Howard, and, yes, they look identical. Secondly, this is not Tarzan. It’s kind of like Tarzan but apparently a dragon helped the orphan boy survive in the wilderness, and somehow after six years living rogue, he still has the ability to easily converse in English despite having clearly missed the milestones necessary for speech development.

Oh, it’s a children’s movie, right.

Additionally, Robert Redford and State Sen. R. Clayton ‘Clay’ Davis from the Wire are here for the party, and we’re very excited. David Lowery (not the guy from Camper Van Beethoven) directs. Oakes Fegley costars. (PG) 102 minutes.

(PG) 90 minutes.

THE SHALLOWS Two of our favorite things: Blake Lively and movies that make us terrified of shark attacks.

That’s a joke. Still, an updating of way-out-of-proportion shark paranoia for modern audiences was probably inevitable. Jaume Collet-Serra directs. Óscar Jaenada and Brett Cullen costar. (PG-13) 87 minutes.

STAR TREK: BEYOND Eyebrows.

Space. That guy from Harold and Kumar. Explosions. More eyebrows.

Space explosions! Justin Lin directs.

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Karl Urban co-star. (PG-13) 120 minutes.

SUICIDE SQUAD Bad people do some good in a long-awaited superhero film with a cast that’ll tickle any dedicated comic-antihero fan’s fancy. Pretty sure that Jared Leto’s entire film career has been leading up to playing the Joker.

David Ayer directs. Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Viola Davis co-star. (PG-13) 130 minutes.

WAR DOGS From massage therapist to international arms dealer, Miles Teller joins Jonah Hill (who has thankfully put some of that Superbad weight back on) as the two stoners who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America’s allies in Afghanistan.

Wait—this is based on a true story!?

Todd Phillips directs. Steve Lantz costars. (R) 114 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK

SOLE REASON Matt Zehnder of Aptos’ the Hideout with the popular sole sandwich. PHOTO: CHIP SCHEUER

Hidden Rendezvous Roadhouse-style lunch on the vine-shaded patio of Aptos’ the Hideout BY CHRISTINA WATERS

N

o wonder South County diners are crazy about the Hideout. I met my old friend Meri for lunch there last week—it’s one of her favorite places in Aptos. “They have great burgers,” was her promise. And she was right.

Cozier than I remembered from its beginnings—back in the day—as the Charles Dickens, Chez Renee, and then Ma Maison, the cottage off Soquel Drive still tempts regulars to

its vine-shaded front deck. Naturally that’s where we sat, listening to reggae wafting out into the afternoon from the restaurant’s interior.

As I perused the menu, Meri helpfully suggested that the Hideout has made itself appealing with a “roadhouse” menu. Sure enough, there are cocktails available at the intimate indoor bar, a lunch menu long on salads, pastas and interesting sandwiches, and a dinner

menu that rides the range from steak to ribs to fresh seafood. Looks like serious comfort food to me.

Meri, who knows this menu inside and out, has a favorite go-to lunch.

Along with an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea, half lemonade for those newly arrived from Alpha Centauri), she ordered the Hideout Burger ($14), a house ground beef and bacon patty topped with crumbled blue cheese on a potato bun. With

it she always has the sweet potato fries (I quickly discovered how addictive they are), and a side of Sriracha aioli. “I’m am a condiment queen,” she admits without shame.

Remember those words—Sriracha aioli. You will want to order it, even if you’re just having a Moscow Mule.

Since she’d promised me a bite of her burger, I decided to order the Crispy Petrale Sole ($14) on francese with Asian slaw and lemon-caper aioli. A glorified, freshly created fish sandwich. We gabbed and gabbed over our lengthy history—who was still married and who wasn’t, and then our huge lunch platters arrived.

Meri graciously cut me a portion of her burger. I moaned discreetly and nodded my head in agreement.

Great burger, especially with the bleu cheese. I also snuck one of the brilliant orange fries. Once hooked, I found my way over to that giant mound of fries all through lunch. Let me put it this way. When you have lunch at the Hideout, don’t miss the sweet potato fries. I needed catsup to go with them.

When I was unable to get one single drop of catsup out of the Heinz bottle, Meri invited me to “hit it on the 57.”

Turns out there’s a tiny raised “57” about a third of the way down the Heinz catsup bottle. Who knew? Well, I hit the bottle (so to speak) and sure enough, the flow of gooey red sauce began immediately. Thanks, Mer. My sole filet was delicious with its lemon aioli and micro-zested veggies.

I removed the top slice of baguette for easier access. And I kept stealing Meri’s fries. It was a fun lunch, delicious food, delicious gossip, er, memories. We’ll rendezvous at The Hideout again, soon. And I’ll order the fries. 9051 Soquel Drive, Aptos. Dinner daily, lunch Wed-Mon. thehideoutaptos.com.

Gluten-Free Update: From one of our favorite cracker makers, Milton's, comes a ridiculously crisp and tangy Cheddar Cheese Gluten Free cracker.

Like one of the sinful cheesy things you loved as a kid. Only good for you.

Not bad for you. Baked, not fried, each little puffed, light-yet-flavorintensive, hexagonal cracker delivers the goods, catering to your oral craving for a major snack cracker.

Yet, let me repeat this, it is glutenfree. $4ish at Shopper’s, et al.

s long-time Seabright Brewery brewmaster Jason Chavez prepared to hand over the reins to Cat Wiest, they spent a day driving around town so Wiest could meet other local brewers.

“He wanted to make sure that I knew I was part of a community, and that I could draw on them for support if I needed to,” explains Wiest. “I really appreciated that.”

Wiest became the new brewmaster at the 28-year-old brewery and restaurant last May, after stints at Pyramid Alehouse in Berkeley and Speakeasy Ales & Lagers in San Francisco. Although Wiest says she has no intention of changing the neighborhood pub’s beloved core recipes like Blur IPA and Pelican Pale Ale—“I think there would be a public outcry if I did,” she says— she’s been able to put forth a steady rotation of new brews. Customer requests for a wheat beer this summer led to the Roll In The Hay IPA, a bitter and aromatic hefeweizen laden with fruity Mosaic hops. The Prescription Pilsner is a crisp, clean, dry-hopped

Czech lager that, weighing in at a sturdy 6.5 percent ABV, will definitely cure what ails you.

In contrast to these classic styles, some of Wiest’s new recipes are refreshingly adventurous. A recent collaboration with the Hollins House at Pasatiempo for the California Beer Festival in Aptos earlier this month led to the creation she’s most proud of: a red ale brewed with malt that her husband smoked in their backyard.

The subtle smokiness rests on the tip of your tongue, followed by a wave of caramel and a dry finish.

“It went fast, but we’ll definitely be making it again. It’s a great October beer,” says Wiest.

Her most playful creation by far is the Mermaid Tail, a delicious golden ale fermented with beets and blood oranges and infused with edible glitter. Yes, glitter—although it has no taste or mouthfeel, it stays in suspension in the glass, creating a delightfully surreal visual experience. “I have so much freedom here to go in any direction,” says Wiest. “I said I wanted to make a glitter beer, and they said ‘OK.’”

HOT TUB WINE MACHINE The Jacuzzi family isn’t just about bubbles—they’ve been making wine for decades.

Wine by the Tub Jacuzzi Family Vineyards expands on the famous spa brand BY JOSIE COWDEN

T

he family name “Jacuzzi” is known far and wide—famous for manufacturing the Jacuzzi spa. But did you know that the family also owns a winery?

In the early 1900s, seven Jacuzzi brothers, their six sisters, spouses, children, and parents Giovanni and Teresa, made the journey from Italy to America. Although the family was initially in the propeller business, their most widespread invention, of course, is the Jacuzzi spa. Early on, one of the brothers planted vineyards and produced wines for the family—the source of the family’s now-thriving wine business and upscale tasting room in Sonoma.

On a trip to Sonoma with my friend Carrie, who was visiting from France, we stopped at Jacuzzi for a tasting (which is free) and left with several bottles of wine, a wine tote bag, an Italian ceramic butter dish, a chopping board, spoons, and more.

Their gift shop is brimming with irresistible items.

One of the wines I purchased that day, a 2012 Sonoma Coast Merlot, was on sale for $15—an absolute bargain for this wellmade wine loaded with chocolate cherry flavors, baking spice and silky tannins. The Jacuzzi family

suggests you pair it with rich bold flavors such as spaghetti Bolognese—what else? Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, 24724 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, 707-931-7575. jacuzziwines.com.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES MERCURY RETROGRADE, NEW MOON ECLIPSE Esoteric Astrology as news for week of Aug. 31, 2016

On Tuesday (Aug. 30) Mercury began its three-week retrograde, which lasts until Sept.

21, moving backwards from 29 degrees to 15 degrees Virgo. Where these degrees fall in our astrology charts informs us which area of life will be affected. During Mercury’s retrograde four planets and three asteroids are also retrograde. It is a very internal reflective time for humanity.

Thursday evening, Sept. 1, is a new moon solar eclipse, 9 degrees Virgo. The Sun, our vital energy, becomes hidden. Its tasks completed, something essential comes to an end. This eclipse is the same degree as the Sept. 1, 1997 eclipse. There is a connection between life events now and then. Who can make that connection? This is the purpose for esoteric journals, recording astrological life events we can return to for reference.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20 Mercury is the Soul ruler of Aries, after Mars. Mercury helps Aries build a new mind, gather resources for learning. Mercury helps educate Aries, making the “initiator” risk taker more mentally poised. Mercury retro is affecting daily life. Take special care with health. Be kinder than usual when communicating. Don’t display frustration or impatience, or you will be imitated.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

New moon festival meditations support the work and endeavors of the New Group of World Servers and women and men of Goodwill in our world. Join us, everyone.

Thursday night may feel challenging and restrictive with Sun/Saturn. Friday, a bit confusing at first with Sun/Neptune, then a loving clarity comes forth from Mercury/ Jupiter in Virgo. We sense “Love underlying all happenings in our world.” On Saturday and Sunday, Libra moon, we seek balance, harmony, beauty and Right Relations.

Scorpio moon on Labor Day creates a quiet, mysterious day. Tuesday builds toward the night’s Sun/Pluto. A transforming preHalloween night. Wednesday (Venus, Saturn, Neptune) we tend to our money and to our spirit. Love calls. self-esteem. Things you have done since the last eclipse have allowed you to become strong with self-knowledge and self-confidence. Notice all the “self” words in the sentences. The eclipse eliminates hindrances to moving forward into new and exciting horizons. You have enriched yourself with so many graces and beauty.

Consider sharing it with someone who loves you.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

What is your relationship with your home? Does it provide the comfort and security needed? Are there thoughts, intentions to move and rearrange things? Or to seek help with family dynamics? Family constellation work is good to research. There may be adjustments needed in family lifestyle and/or home. Take care with domestic issues. Nothing may be as it seems. But you should try to be.

Sag is the sign of the path and the goal of all things. You are always reaching for a new goal, cycle after cycle. We are now in a cycle of Love/Wisdom which governs our entire solar system. The emphasis is on the Sun and the heart of the Sun. Your virtue is enthusiasm. This means “filled with God.” Your mind and heart always seek the higher regions of knowing, each next step upon the path.

It’s important to realize you are the path, actually.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

You represent the Milky Way—that path of stars in the night sky holding all the world in its heavenly light.

You are the Moon Maiden, spilling forth starlight that nourishes Earth’s kingdoms. Spilling stars from your hands, each night you ask, “Have I given you enough stars to nourish your path? Shall I give you more?” And thus humanity continues to be nurtured.

As both Cancer and Virgo are signs of the Mother, Capricorn is the Father principle (Will and Purpose). The messenger within all signs is Mercury. With Mercury in Virgo we are told that all structures we are used to—and Capricorn loves structure—are no longer working or available as usual. This makes us feel directionless at times. Look to, find, speak with the Big Dipper in the sky for direction.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22 The mystery of the Sphinx is contained in your sign. The Sphinx mystery speaks of the relation of our zodiac with the great galactic center. Whereas Cancer broods over, and Virgo ponders in silence, Leo concentrates its mind on what it values, learning how to deeply value the self.

To be prosperous one must have love. Love creates a magnet within our heart. The heart of love attracts what is needed. Love more.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You always seek forms that have a deep level of beauty and perfection. This applies to you, too, in the ways you look, speak and project yourself into the world. In all that you do, there is an expansion of wholeness. Especially now, with Jupiter in Virgo. All Virgos are Madonnas hiding what the entire path of evolution is moving toward. It’s a trinity that dwells within you.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 A new level of self-recognition appears, along with new

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Know that you are essential to the path humanity is on.

As you walk the path yourself, you come to understand the true essential meaning of life on Earth. Earth is a school. The Earth-as-school path trains our minds.

You see past, present and future. Your mind is learning how to interpret inner truths and explain them to the world. Only then can humanity build the new culture and civilization, the template, with you.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 You know the Voice of the Silence sounding through the universe. You see all things as one, united in a field of golden energy. Often this realization isn’t understood by others. You are the other side of Virgo. Its shadow.

You have inclusive reasoning along with “isolated unity.” Meaning that Pisces often stands alone. Your companions are Neptune and Pluto. You sense all of the parts and how they play within the One whole unified state. You are not from here.

Local eateries featuring hand-crafted food, beer & wine

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6, 2016

The eclipse is summoning your creative gifts, talents and abilities, inviting you to express thoughts, ideas, desires and aspirations. It’s important to allow for enjoyment and happy feelings. Previous issues with partners may emerge. They were never fully tended to. One must rework those same matters once again in order to move forward. Listening, questioning, patience, clarity and compromise are keys.

You refuse to succumb to a fragmentary picture presented by the world. You know as a Scorpio that everything is connected within a web of golden light.

(Indra’s Net). You stand in a garden with a chalice in your hand, reciting the three sounds of AUM each day. Each sound (level) is a part of you and the world. Spirit (A), soul (U), personality (M). Say each sound individually.

Pour forth your chalice (U) of sounds to the world in need. This is discipleship work.

Directions

Mix Brown sugar with spices and set aside.

Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Use a 2 piece broiler pan, the lower half filled with very hot water, then layer racks of rib on the top. Ribs can be left whole in racks and layered, I have done 6 at a time, they still come out great. Rub the brown sugar mixture liberally over each rack. Then using heavy duty tin foil, cover the pan so that no heat escapes. I usually double wrap the ribs. Set in oven for 3 hours and can be up to 5 hours. Remove foil carefully and cut ribs into a manageable length to grill them. If you try to grill the rack without making it smaller, some of the ribs will fall apart and the meat will literally fall off the bones! Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce, I like homemade, Red Tail Ale or Bone Suckin’ Sauce. Grill over a very hot gas or charcoal rill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with plenty of napkins. These ribs are amazing!

2010 Clos la Chance Zinfandel

A dark, ruby purple throughout. Aromas of rich raspberries, cocoa, blackberries and plum fruit. A hint of anise and leafy tobacco.

A soft entry with bright fruit flavors that are concurrent with the aromas - raspberries and blackberries. Mid-palate has a solid acid base. A hint of sour cherry and dill on the long, soft finish.

MARY JO ROSE, 18-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Corporate communications Hobbies: Yoga, running on the beach, home decorations, cooking, playing with my dog Astrological Sign: Gemini ROY VASCONCELLOS, 39-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Occupation: Conductor Hobbies: Barbecuing, exercise, home improvement/yard work, Astrological Sign: Capricorn What do you greatly enjoy about Shopper’s Corner? MARY JO: “I love flirting with the butchers, chatting and laughing with the checkers, and tormenting Jim (Beauregard)!” ROY: “The marinated skirt steak — I sometimes tell visiting guests it’s my own recipe! Oh, and their pre-seasoned meatloaf is amazing; we’ve created “midtown meatloaf” for Tuesday nights.” MARY JO: “Much of the produce is local so it’s always fresh. I like that Jim supports so many of the county’s businesses.”

ROY: “Shopper’s is easy. They always have enough check stands open so there are never lines.” MARY JO: “It’s like I’m with family when I’m here. When people are handling your food, you want to feel their love. I feel it.”

What’s your opinion on Shopper’s quality and pricing?

ROY: “You get what you pay for here — good value and quality. I don’t see Shopper’s as expensive.” MARY JO: “Shopper’s is very affordable, actually. Some people perceive local as costing more. That’s not true here.”

ROY: “Shopper’s is known for its great variety of wines, especially the many good local and regional selections, at all price points. I’m a big fan of their Pinot Noirs.”

MARY JO: “There are so many quality products here — amazing olive oils and they’re always introducing new local items — along with the established favorites such as the pies, breads, and coffees. Oh, and Pasta Mike’s pasta, Glaum eggs, and Donnelly Chocolates.”

You see Shopper’s as an important community business?

MARY JO: “Absolutely — one of the most important!

When a national competitor moved in a few years ago, many of us formed a coalition to not shop there. If you live in this town, you want to help each other out, right? This “corner” is magical to the community. ROY: “Shopper’s is always giving back to the community by supporting all the schools and so many organizations.”

MARY JO: “I tell new residents that if they want to be part of the community where it feels like family, shop Shopper’s Corner.” ROY: “It’s also convenient and has the best products.” MARY JO: “I’m grateful that Jim and Andre have created something special here.”

“Shopper’s Corner is very affordable, actually. Some people perceive local products as costing more. That’s not true here.”
