OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I saw Hamilton last week, and loved seeing “old dead white men”—as creator (and apparently Weird Al Yankovic pal, what?) LinManuel Miranda put it—portrayed by a multiethnic cast. But you know what’s even better than a fantasy of racially diverse American history? The reality of racially diverse American history, which is what Geoffrey Dunn writes about in our cover story this week. It’s not like I have any illusion that I know or could ever know everything that I need and want to know about Santa Cruz’s past. But I swear, when I read a story like this, I am downright

Re: “Schoen Call” (GT, 6/14): On Saturday, June 17, the MAH hosted a fundraising event for Robbie Schoen, a valued member of the Santa Cruz County arts community who suffered a disabling stroke in February. The Art for Robbie! event raised over $32,000 to support Robbie’s continued recovery. The Art for Robbie! team would like to thank all who made the success of the event possible—donating artists, buyers, MAH, beverage donors, media, event volunteers, speakers and entertainers. Not only was it a great night for Robbie, it was a great night for the Santa Cruz arts community, who turned out in force to celebrate and help their beloved Robbie Schoen!

Re: “Fur Better or Worse” (GT, 6/14)” First, thank you to dog owners and walkers who uphold the leash law and thus respect the rights and comfort of all of us. I try to walk or hike daily at one of our many beautiful parks or beaches such as Twin Lakes, DeLaveaga, Arana Gulch, Pogonip, New Brighton Beach, etc.—all of which have leash laws. These walks revive

It makes me so appreciative that someone like him—endlessly curious, exhaustively detail-oriented, and obsessively committed to telling the stories that have been obscured by time and cultural bias—has taken on the role of pre-eminent local historian. I’m also happy to be running this story of Santa Cruz’s lost history of African-American baseball in our Fourth of July issue. It’s an examination of some hard truths about our past, but also a celebration of progress, determination and our national pastime. What could be more American?

me. But when at least half of these peaceful excursions are interrupted by dogs off leash (whether they’re running unwatched or uncontrolled, barking loudly, pooping randomly with poop being retrieved, etc.), I am disturbed. Please be respectful to those of us who choose not to be responsible for a dog, and to those dog owners who are following the law. Perhaps spot patrolling and ticketing the offenders would encourage those not using leashes to do so and also generate some income for the city and county. Thanks for listening.

SAFETY BIRTH

Santa Cruz police are getting the word out about triple fines Tuesday, July 4 and Wednesday, July 5, for things like fireworks possession, open containers, graffiti, noise violations, and urinating in public. So whether you think setting off July fireworks is a celebration of American freedom or a noisy nuisance, the habit will cost you an extra $1,305 on the holiday. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, could everyone make a pact to stop setting off fireworks, after 11 p.m., May through October?

Salud Para La Gente has expanded its obstetrical and gynecological team, and moms at Watsonville Community Hospital will get expanded access to care, with three certified nurse-midwives now in the cohort. Salud aims to reduce Cesarean delivery, a potentially life-saving procedure that, in certain instances, can pose avoidable risks—like longer recovery, respiratory problems and severe complications. The Department of Health and Human Services set a goal to reduce cesarean sections to 23.9 percent among low-risk births.

WHAT DOES THE FOURTH MEAN? On Tuesday, the Fourth of July, Americans will celebrate Independence Day in recognition of our shared ideals and values that continue to shape our nation. The day is also a time to reflect on our past and to ponder our future: what does it mean to be American? Of utmost importance to the American identity is the concept of equality. In America, there is a long history of strife and conflict with the aim of increasing equal opportunity among all people. On Independence Day, I try to take a moment to remember Americans who have fought for equality, such as Thomas Paine, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harvey >8

Seeing rescued grizzly bears in Montana two years ago for my birthday. It was amazing!

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of June 28 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 This is a perfect moment to create a new tradition, Aries. You intuitively know how to turn one of your recent breakthroughs into a good habit that will provide continuity and stability for a long time to come. You can make a permanent upgrade in your life by capitalizing on an accidental discovery you made during a spontaneous episode. It’s time, in other words, to convert the temporary assistance you received into a long-term asset; to use a stroke of luck to foster a lasting pleasure.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Physicist Freeman Dyson told Wired magazine how crucial it is to learn from failures. As an example, he described the invention of the bicycle. “There were thousands of weird models built and tried before they found the one that really worked,” he said. “You could never design a bicycle theoretically. Even now, it’s difficult to understand why a bicycle works. But just by trial and error, we found out how to do it, and the error was essential.” I hope you will keep that in mind, Taurus. It’s the Success-Through-Failure Phase of your astrological cycle.

GEMINI May21–June20 According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should lease a chauffeured stretch limousine with nine TVs and a hot tub inside. You’d also be smart to accessorize your smooth ride with a $5,000-bottle of Château Le Pin Pomerol Red Bordeaux wine and servings of the Golden Opulence Sundae, which features a topping of 24-karat edible gold and sprinkles of Amedei Porcelana, the most expensive chocolate in the world. If none of that is possible, do the next best thing, which is to mastermind a long-term plan to bring more money into your life. From an astrological perspective, wealth-building activities will be favored in the coming weeks.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22 When Leos rise above their habit selves and seize the authority to be rigorously authentic, I refer to them as Sun Queens or Sun Kings. When you Cancerians do the same -- triumph over your conditioning and become masters of your own destiny—I call you Moon Queens or Moon Kings. In the coming weeks, I suspect that many of you will make big strides towards earning this title. Why? Because you’re on the verge of claiming more of the “soft power,” the potent sensitivity, that enables you to feel at home no matter what you're doing or where you are on this planet.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 You may not realize it, but you now have a remarkable power to perform magic tricks. I’m not talking about Houdini-style hocus-pocus. I’m referring to practical wizardry that will enable you to make relatively efficient transformations in your daily life. Here are some of the possibilities: wiggling out of a tight spot without offending anyone; conjuring up a new opportunity for yourself out of thin air; doing well on a test even though you don’t feel prepared for it; converting a seemingly tough twist of fate into a fertile date with destiny. How else would you like to use your magic?

Feminist pioneer and author Gloria Steinem said, “Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.” Is there such an activity for you, Virgo? If not, now is a favorable time to identify what it is. And if there is indeed such a passionate pursuit, you should do it as much as possible in the coming weeks. You’re primed for a breakthrough in your relationship with this life-giving joy. To evolve to the next phase of its power to inspire you, it needs as much of your love and intelligence as you can spare.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 One of the 21st century’s most entertaining archaeological events was the discovery of King Richard III’s bones. The English monarch died in 1485, but his burial

site had long been a mystery. It wasn’t an archaeologist who tracked down his remains, but a screenwriter named Philippa Langley. She did extensive historical research, narrowing down the possibilities to a car park in Leicester. As she wandered around there, she got a psychic impression at one point that she was walking directly over Richard’s grave. Her feeling later turned out to be right. I suspect your near future will have resemblances to her adventure. You’ll have success in a mode that’s not your official area of expertise. Sharp analytical thinking will lead you to the brink, and a less rational twist of intelligence will take you the rest of the way.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 The tides of destiny are no longer just whispering their message for you. They are shouting. And what they are shouting is that your brave quest must begin soon. There can be no further excuses for postponement. What’s that you say? You don’t have the luxury of embarking on a brave quest? You’re too bogged down in the thousand and one details of managing the day-to-day hubbub? Well, in case you need reminding, the tides of destiny are not in the habit of making things convenient. And if you don’t cooperate willingly, they will ultimately compel you to do so. But now here’s the really good news, Scorpio: The tides of destiny will make available at least one burst of assistance that you can’t imagine right now.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 In my dream, I used the non-itchy wool of the queen’s special Merino sheep to weave an enchanted blanket for you. I wanted this blanket to be a good luck charm you could use in your crusade to achieve deeper levels of romantic intimacy. In its tapestry I spun scenes depicting the most love-filled events from your past. It was beautiful and perfect. But after I finished it, I had second thoughts about giving it to you. Wasn’t it a mistake to make it so flawless? Shouldn’t it also embody the messier aspects of togetherness? To turn it into a better symbol and therefore a more dynamic talisman, I spilled wine on one corner of it and unraveled some threads in another corner. Now here’s my interpretation of my dream: You’re ready to regard messiness as an essential ingredient in your quest for deeper intimacy.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 Your word of power is "supplication”—the act of asking earnestly and humbly for what you want. When practiced correctly, “supplication” is indeed a sign of potency, not of weakness. It means you are totally united with your desire, feel no guilt or shyness about it, and intend to express it with liberated abandon. Supplication makes you supple, poised to be flexible as you do what’s necessary to get the blessing you yearn for. Being a supplicant also makes you smarter, because it helps you realize that you can’t get what you want on the strength of your willful ego alone. You need grace, luck, and help from sources beyond your control.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 In the coming weeks, your relationships with painkillers will be extra sweet and intense. Please note that I’m not talking about ibuprofen or acetaminophen or aspirin. My reference to painkillers is metaphorical. What I’m predicting is that you will have a knack for finding experiences that reduce your suffering. You’ll have a sixth sense about where to go to get the most meaningful kinds of healing and relief. Your intuition will guide you to initiate acts of atonement and forgiveness, which will in turn ameliorate your wounds.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Don’t wait around passively as you fantasize about becoming the “Chosen One” of some person or group or institution. Be your own Chosen One. And don’t wander around aimlessly, biding your time in the hope of eventually being awarded some prize or boon by a prestigious source. Give yourself a prize or boon. Here’s one further piece of advice, Pisces: Don’t postpone your practical and proactive intentions until the mythical “perfect moment” arrives. Create your own perfect moment.

Mortgage Strategies For 2017 Q: From reading your informative column each week I understand that mortgage rates will soon move upwards—unless economic news or news on the many domestic and international crises changes. My questions are: 1) Should we refinance a loan that is currently at 4.5%? 2) If so, should we lock now or wait? 3) Is it smart to consolidate consumer debt in a refinance? 4) Should we wait to buy a rental property? A: With Fed actions promised to begin near the end of 2017, it seems assured that absent other influences rates will go up increasingly toward the end of 2017. As that approaches, investors will be more inclined to sell bonds and mortgage securities—which will push rates up. You can probably get a lower rate that is less than 4.5% at NO OR LOW COST AT THIS TIME. SO, YES, IT’S BEST TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TODAY’S RATES BEFORE THEY BEGIN TO EDGE UP. Call me at 475-2600/818-7700 or email jchubb1@gmail.com for individual pricing, rate options, advice and consultations. Consolidating debt is often smart, but this is an individual decision and any action you take needs to be made with sound advice based on individual statistics. Call me to discuss this in order to take action that maximizes your benefits and advantages rather than just raising your loan amount.

Buying a rental property in Santa Cruz or any area depends on how it will affect your cash flow on a monthly and annual basis. Buying sooner rather than later will give you access to lower rates, which will allow you to buy more house at lower holding costs. I can run scenarios that show costs and benefits. Once you know how it would look at different prices and monthly payments, you can consult a REALTOR to determine if you can get what you require in a rental property. If you do not have a realtor I can suggest a few locals who are amazing.

OPINION

Now offering organic henna haircolor + body art

Milk, and Cesar Chavez. These individuals have made indelible impressions on our nation’s history as visionaries at the forefront of the fight to secure civil rights, liberties, and free expression for all Americans. In the months since the presidential election, civility in public discussion and debate on political issues in America has disintegrated to a contest to determine who can out shout the other person. It is my hope that this Independence Day we can take a step back and listen to those who agree with us and to those who disagree with us, and to respect

the opinions of all Americans. If nothing else, the recent attack on Republican congressional members should make us take pause and unite in saying Americans can agree to disagree on political issues but we are united in allowing everyone to speak freely, without fear of violence in retaliation for speaking our minds. This Fourth, when you are spending time with your family and friends, please take a moment to celebrate our shared values and dedicate a moment to think about what being an American means to you.

Downtown library committee weighs deeper questions around possible move BY JACOB PIERCE

twice-monthly committee looking at the downtown public library started meeting this month, to plan for the branch’s future. Armed with $23 million in recent Measure S money, the Downtown Branch Library Advisory Committee will make recommendations on the future site of the library. In other words, should it stay, or should it go? The branch obviously wouldn’t move more than a few blocks, as no one wants to see it leave downtown. But there are deeper questions for the group, says Susan Nemitz, who moved from the Minneapolis area a year ago to oversee Santa Cruz Public Libraries.

“What should it do? I think that’s really, really important,” says Nemitz in her office overlooking Union Street, as she thumbs through binders of plans from her St. Paul days to look for examples of remodels. “While I was in Minnesota, I got to remodel three libraries, and I got to rebuild four libraries. And I think it’s one of the reasons they hired me. I worked really closely with communities about ‘What do you want?’” Any library, in this day and age, aims to balance the needs of a variety of users—kids, teenagers, working professionals, the homeless, and more. “We used to say, ‘The library is the center of

the community.’ Now we’re moving toward ‘The community is the center of library,’” says Nemitz, who takes inspiration from the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, as reinvigorated by Executive Director Nina Simon. Nemitz suggested at the first committee meeting that the group focus more on what programs the library might offer than where it will be or how it will look. When it comes to future locations, Nemitz doesn’t speak in vague abstract terms for the library’s options. At this point, she says library stakeholders will probably decide between three choices: renovate the current location, tear down the 50-year-old stone structure >12

Scotty Greathouse’s summer vacation plans involve lots of painting. The 43-year-old Felton resident and father of two will work with teenagers to design and install two murals on the roughly 15-by-30-foot walls outside two Boys and Girls Club locations. The teens will brainstorm the subject matter when the summer program begins in July, he says, under the theme “What do you come to the Boys and Girls Club for?” They’ve already had one meeting with the kids to get ideas flowing for the spots in downtown Santa Cruz and on 17th Avenue. “Some of the words so far are ‘fun,’ ‘inspiration,’ ‘friendship,’ ‘art’—things like that,” says Greathouse, a contractor specializing in art and graphics. “It’s going to show the kids how to take an image from an 8.5-by-11 piece of paper and enlarge it to that scale.” His idea is to have each kid pick a color and paint different cut shapes of fiberboard and place them on the wall. The negative space, or gaps in between the pieces, will spell out the words, giving the piece a mosaic feel. “The goal is to really open their eyes to the possibility of career choices in the art field,” he explains of his aim to inspire the young people involved. “The thing that I never got in school was the actual hands-on ability to make a design and make it that big, have the process explained and have someone there who’s an open book.” With support from a California Arts Council grant, Greathouse says he’ll take the teens through each phase of the process. They’ll learn about which colors work together, how white space can work within a mural, laying out the design, budgeting purchases and how to select materials. Greathouse, who once hosted an event through the Boys and Girls Club teaching kids to skate, says children make for eager learners. “I love their energy,” says Greathouse. “The kids come in and they’re so excited about everything.” Andrea Tolaio, development officer for the Boys and Girls Club, hopes >14

to rebuild on the same site or start over a few blocks away. That last plan would likely involve putting the branch on the first floor of a controversial six-story building on Cedar and Cathcart streets, with offices and parking upstairs. In terms of vision, the latter has the most upside, with the ability to design a state-of-the-art, ADA-accessible facility, while giving the city more bang for its buck. It also comes with the most controversy—especially given environmental concerns about building a car garage in Santa Cruz. Talk to anyone who loves the library the way it is, and none of the options seem easy. “I try not to get too engaged in the process, because at some point the politicians have to make difficult decisions,” Nemitz says. “What I try to do is make the public understand the pros and cons of each option. People ask what I think. It doesn’t matter what I think.”

SHELF ESTEEM The committee will be meeting the second Wednesday and fourth Thursday of every month, with its second meeting happening at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 29 at the Church Street location. Committee members will meet at the downtown library for a tour of the current site and to see the

conditions. Last month, it had to shut down for 36 hours and move a major Star Wars event planned there. (City Manager Martín Bernal has said it would be cheaper to rebuild it from the ground up a couple blocks away than it would be to renovate the current building.) Next month, the committee will be going to the Los Gatos Library, which was planned by the same architecture firm that Nemitz hired to work with the committee. That library is home to massive windows, art hanging from the ceiling and an outdoor reading area. The children’s section has games and lit-up, colorful holes cut into walls— “reading pods” they’re called—for kids to curl up in and read. Nemitz would like to know in the coming weeks if they can narrow down their options from three choices down to two recommendations. “I don’t want to limit your options too much,” she told the committee, “but in terms of working with architects, they want to know how many drawings they’re going to have to draw.” Board meetings will continue for the next five months or so, with library staff submitting a report to the Santa Cruz City Council in the late fall. They’ll rotate the responsibility of board chair. Ultimately, the story of the library’s future could have more chapters than The Lord of the Rings books—especially if the saga involves

a possible parking garage at site of the downtown farmers market. The city’s economic development department is working on a report, due out later this summer, about downtown parking and incentivizing alternatives to driving. And a working group has also been meeting to look for a permanent home for the downtown farmers market.

CHECKING FOOTNOTES “We want permanence. What does that mean? That means we never want to move ever again,” says Nesh Dhillon, executive director of Santa Cruz Community Farmers’ Markets. Dhillon has heard chatter for years about a multi-story garage on Lot 4, in between Cathcart and Lincoln streets. What he wants is for the market to have a pavilion feel, with some permanent signage, and a canopy or something else that will create a sense of space. He’s serving on the working group, along with city staffers and stakeholders like Bonnie Belcher, organizer of the Santa Cruz Antique Faire. Belcher says the event has been shuffled around a few times in its two decades and worries that if it had to move again, it wouldn’t survive, because it needs a highvisibility spot. “I kind of like the status quo. I told them, for us, we really can’t move. We’ve had to move four times >16

NEWS BRIEFS SILVER LINING Posters for the Rail Trail IPA release promised a party raging until 10 p.m. Rage it did, but cans ran out a few hours early. “It’s more turnout than we expected,” says Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing Owner Emily Thomas. Thomas is standing in the Swift Street courtyard, as Apple City Slough Band from Watsonville jams under a banner that reads “All organic hops.” Dancing patrons look

unconcerned that the next batch of the slightly fruity libation—a fundraiser for plans to build a 32-mile trail along the train corridor—won’t be out until sometime next month. Thomas, who has a friend on the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County board, wanted to develop a beer to support the Land Trust’s efforts to get the Rail Trail done, but it took a while to get the idea off the ground. “Originally, we were going to do a Rail Trail Pale Ale,”

Thomas says. “No one wants a pale ale right now.” She realizes the Rail Trail is “probably the most controversial project the Land Trust is working on,” but sees big possibilities for the corridor. “It connects our kids to their schools. It connects our houses and businesses to downtown. I trust the Land Trust to make the right decisions. At this point, let’s just get the trail built, so we can all use it, whether it’s for bikes or pedestrians.”

Meanwhile, Greenway, a nonprofit started this year hoping to take a different path: pump the brakes, in order to get a better, wider trail. Dignity Health, which owns Dominican Hospital, came out in favor of Greenway’s plan, as did 150 doctors. The company, which isn’t doing interviews on the topic, said in a statement, “The Greenway project will protect the environment while promoting healthy activity.” JACOB PIERCE

the summer program keeps kids engaged during the year’s long, school-free stretch. She says that as youth reach their mid-teen years, retention begins to dip, due to teens taking part-time jobs and having more freedom to structure their own free time. “We tend to lose some of our kids around age 14, 15 or so, and there are a multitude of studies that show if teens continue to attend Boys and Girls Club as they get older, they have a higher propensity to graduate from high school, go to college and really explore career opportunities,” says Tolaio. The club is trying to combat the dropoff, says Tolaio, by instituting more real-world and college-readiness activities, expanded club hours, and support for job and college applications. One quarter of families and 18 percent of children in 2014 relied on afterschool

programs to provide safe, supportive environments to inspire learning, according to a 2014 report by Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. Many families can’t afford summer programs, which come at often steep prices. “Most of them have both parents working, and the cost of summer camps range anywhere from $300 for a half-day week all the way to thousands of dollars for overnight camps,” says Tolaio. Summer vacation, after all, isn’t a thing for most parents, leaving some kids to fend for themselves. And when children stop learning over the break, they lose their math and reading skills—which turns the gap between rich and poor kids into a chasm. Lower-income students often don’t catch up, according to a 2014 article from the New York Times. The local Boys and Girls Club’s “Smart Summer Program” offers a variety of academic

and enrichment classes, all free for teenagers. “[The Boys & Girls Club] is a safe place to come where kids know they’re welcome and appreciated. Their parents know that they’re going someplace safe and fun. For some of our kids, they would be at home doing nothing. The number of kids that spend time alone unsupervised is really alarming,” says Tolaio. Eleven percent of children ages six to 12 spend an average of 10 hours a week on their own in the summer months, according to an estimate from Afterschool Alliance. By October, Greathouse also plans to begin work on a larger-scale 500-by-ninefoot mural on a wall enclosing Bayview Elementary on Mission Street. The project, a partnership with Clean Oceans International, will be the biggest mural in the county, and use oceanic themes to educate Bayview students about pollution. Greathouse and his partners are

in the early stages, still tinkering with ideas, but they may custom-make ceramic tiles for Bayview students to glaze that could then be incorporated into sea turtle shells. To show the plastic pollution, they’re thinking about painting the Hawaiian monk seal or albatross with an X-ray-like crosssection that shows the contents of their stomach filled with plastic. “We want to show what some of these sea creatures are consuming, and that it’s actually our problem. We’re the ones who created it, but we’re the ones who can actually turn it around,” says Greathouse, who’s fundraising to support the project. “We don’t want the wall to be all doom and gloom. It’ll be beautiful but also have that education intertwined.” To learn more about the about the Bayview Elementary mural, go to cleanoceansinternational.org.

since the event started 24 years ago. Location, location, location,” Belcher says. Some business owners aren’t keen on the idea of the garage, either. Suna Lock, owner of Stripe Design Group and two Stripe clothing stores on Walnut Avenue, says the downtown area has a lot of things to patch up—trash and public safety included—but parking isn’t one of them. Lock just termed out as Downtown Association board president, but stresses she doesn’t speak for her fellow members, as they haven’t taken a position. Lock, who moved to Santa Cruz in 2003, concedes that growing up in Great Britain may have influenced her opinion, but she says she seldom hears customers or anyone else complain about having a hard time finding a spot. Sure, there are sometimes busier, more chaotic Friday nights when it is difficult to park, but that squeeze only enlivens the streets and creates more of a big-city atmosphere, à la “Great! Look how active my city is. There’s so much going on,” she says. Dhillon says it hasn’t been easy identifying ideal spots for the market—areas with a big enough footprint to fit the whole year-round event, which swells in the summer and shrinks slightly during the colder months. His ideal scenario would be for the council to agree to make Lot 4 the official farmers market pavilion, with permanent signage. Of course, if a six-story structure went in, one might think market organizers could always place their event on top of it—creating a highly visible pavilion with a view spanning Santa Cruz, with expansive signage several stories high and a couple layers of parking underneath. That isn’t what Dhillon’s picturing. “It just wouldn’t look right. You’re putting this street-level event six stories up. It doesn’t jive right. Is there anything physically preventing that from happening? I don’t think so,” he says. Sometimes people suggest moving the market across the river to San Lorenzo Park, he says, but that would be a logistical nightmare. The fields get soggy in the winter, and it’s lacking in an important resource: “Being adjacent to parking is really important,” Dhillon says. “Until everyone decides they don’t want to drive their car anymore, we need to have parking.”

SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION LOCAL SPOTLIGHT

Business Profile:

Chocolate Chocolate has become an integral part of American life. Where there once were a few brands of chocolate bars on market shelves, there are now dozens. One local restaurateur, David Jackman, was ahead of the curve when he opened the restaurant Chocolate in 1999 in Santa Cruz.

“Returning to this part of the world, I decided to make it about chocolate,” says Jackman. It is important for Jackman that everyone who comes to dine, whether for a

The patio is a luxuriant oasis on the sidewalk of Pacific Avenue adjacent to Bookshop Santa Cruz, with plants cared for by Jackman. Even on a chilly night, heaters make the patio a great place to explore the ways chocolate is brought into savory dishes, such as in their BBQ sauce with pulled pork. Jackman’s goal with that sauce is to combine salty, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors in one dish. “Chocolate brings an earthy backdrop to the sauce, a depth that is not out of place. Barbecue is the American umami,” he says. Relationships are central to Jackman. “Having a neighbor like Bookshop Santa Cruz is really special because they have been here 50 years, and it is an honor to have that relationship,” says Jackman. Nesh Dhillon, director of Santa Cruz Community Farmers Markets, helped connect him to area farmers, aligning with Jackman’s Slow

Food roots. Two years ago Jackman and Patricia Rain started the Vanilla Festival, a five-course dinner that focuses on the use of vanilla in savory dishes, and gives customers an opportunity to enjoy a tasty ingredient that many consider chocolate’s opposite. If Jackman was ahead of the curve, so were the folks at Santa Cruz Community Credit Union, who made all of this possible by providing Jackman with his first line of credit 21 years ago. Jackman says that the interactive relationship makes the experience of banking easy. If a customer has trouble understanding something, Santa Cruz Community Credit Union takes it as an opportunity to examine the issue for potential improvements, and Jackman points out that that isn’t true of every bank. “Without their help, I don’t know if we could have done this,” says Jackman.

Jackman has never walked away from his formative years as a pastry chef at a restaurant in the mountain village of Medelana during the height of the Slow Food movement in Italy in the late 1980’s and 1990’s. Near Bologna (Italy’s culinary capital, in the region of Emiglia-Romagna), Jackman and his co-creators embodied the spirit of “think local first” long before that food trend hit the states. They sourced wine from neighbors, produce came from nearby farms and orchards, and animals were from area producers. The eatery’s waitresses made cheese as side work. The only pastry chef in the group, Jackman often catered events in Bologna and developed a love affair with chocolate that would eventually land here in Santa Cruz.

cup of hot chocolate (an entire page of the menu is devoted to chocolate drinks), or to enjoy a leisurely dinner, feel welcomed and not rushed exploring the chocolate-saturated menu. The service is not slow, however. Jackman learned the importance of that at his first Santa Cruz restaurant, the latenight So Say We (closed in 1999).

BY GEOFFREY DUNN

Nearly erased from local history, the Santa Cruz Colored Giants challenged baseball’s racist rules in the Jim Crow era

n the spring of 1907, a fascinating story appeared in the pages of the Santa Cruz Surf, one of the community’s three robust daily newspapers in that era, chronicling a baseball game played at the city’s popular athletic field, Vue de l’Eau, at the end of the streetcar line near the corner of Woodrow Avenue and West Cliff Drive. “North Santa Cruz Team Defeated by Colored Nine,” the Surf headline proclaimed. “An exciting game of baseball at

the Vue de l’Eau diamond was held yesterday afternoon, and attracted quite a crowd,” the newspaper reported. “Bats were crossed by the North Santa Cruz nine, Earl Owens captain, and the colored nine, mainly made up of the shoe polishers about town, with Jack Harris as captain. They put up a good game, the colored team winning out by a score of 8 to 5.” The “colored nine,” as it turned out, was a baseball team called the Santa Cruz Colored Giants, an all

African-American (and sometimes Latino) squad that formed in Santa Cruz during the first decade of the 20th century. Several weeks later, a game between the Santa Cruz All-Stars and Colored Giants was held again at Vue de l’Eau, where, according to the Surf, another “large crowd” gathered to see “the famous colored team struggle through nine acts of fitful spasms,” losing 14-10. The following weekend, the Giants returned the favor to the All-Stars,

defeating them 8-4. The account in the Surf noted that “Crubs, the colored pitcher, pitched good ball and never did he go astray.” However, the All-Stars’ pitcher, Al Amaya, “was hit freely” by the Colored Giants. “It seemed,” the Surf noted, “that the colored boys could slam the ball wherever they wanted it.”

anta Cruz was a baseballcrazy town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Widely attended amateur and semi-

The Beachcombers featured an African-American mascot—13year-old Edward Purse—who would grow up to be a fine baseball player, but who was not allowed to play on professional teams anywhere in the U.S. when he came of age. The so-called “color line,” which prevented African Americans from playing in professional baseball, was first established informally in the 1880s and 1890s, and was firmly enforced by the turn of the century in all of organized baseball,

including here in Santa Cruz. The “line” wasn’t crossed until Jackie Robinson famously crashed through it with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In the face of this institutionalized racism, African-American baseball in the United States—often referred to as “Black Baseball,” “Colored Baseball,” or, later, the “Negro Leagues”—thrived on the margins of mainstream American society and formed a rich and dynamic cultural history of its own. In 1990, the Negro

Leagues Baseball Museum was founded in Kansas City, Missouri, to commemorate this significant contribution of African-American players to baseball history. As someone who has spent a good portion of his life chronicling Santa Cruz history—with a specific emphasis on baseball and workingclass ethnic communities—I originally presumed that the idea of a local African-American baseball team in the early 20th century seemed something of an unlikelihood. But

professional games were staged not only out at Vue de l’Eau, but also at the community’s waterfront diamond, Dolphin Park, located at what is today the Santa Cruz Seaside Company’s main parking lot, located across Beach Street from the Boardwalk’s Casino Arcade. In the late 1890s, the Santa Cruz Beachcombers (later to become the Sand Crabs) were a prominent team in the California State League that finished in second place during backto-back seasons, in 1897 and 1898.

BREAKING THE COLOR LINE <21 many years ago, the late Santa Cruz historian Phil Reader came across a clipping of the Santa Cruz Black Giants from 1908; a few months later, he came across another. Reader—the author of To Know My Name: A Chronological History of African Americans in Santa Cruz County, and a friend—called me to tell me of his findings. We met. He handed me a copy of his small file, with his chicken-scratch notes written directly on it, and said something to the effect of “Have fun.” For the next four decades, I came across little tidbits here and there related to the Black Giants, but nothing substantial. Two of my favorite Santa Cruz elders, Harold Van Gorder and my great uncle Malio Stagnaro, shared some colorful memories and photographs with me, and slowly the barest of outlines emerged. Then, in just the past two years, with the advent of digitized newspaper searches, a new treasure trove of information became available. The various dots that I had assembled over the years in Reader’s well-worn file could finally be connected. A fascinating—and troubling—piece of Santa Cruz history gradually came to life.

n late April of 1908, the Black Giants scheduled a game against a Scotts Valley club for a Sunday game at Vue de l’Eau, where they dominated their opponents by a lopsided score of 20-6. While some of the racialized remarks in the local press were subtle, the Santa Cruz Sentinel’s coverage of this game was not. Under a headline reading “Colored Boys Hot Ball Players,” the newspaper declared: Cotton picking is not to be compared with the way in which the Santa Cruz colored team picked the Scotts Valley team at Vue de l’Eau Sunday, running up a score of 20 to 6. The feature of the game was McEachen’s twirlers, which Scotts Valley found very hard to connect with. Any teams desiring games, should address Jack Harris, 214 Pacific Av[e]. The Evening News also made note

of “McEachen’s twisters” in a singlesentence account of the game. These references to “McEachen” marked the first such appearance of the name associated in print with the Colored Giants, and the pitcher must have been Isaac McEachen, then 25, and the son of Reverend Tink Arthur McEachen, the founding minister of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (A.M.E. Zion Church) in Santa Cruz. Reverend McEachen arrived here in November of 1905 from Modesto; his family followed him from Hollister in 1906. According to the California Voter Registration of 1908, Isaac McEachen was listed as a laborer in Oakland, but it’s very possible that he came down to play in the games since his mother and father were still associated with the local church until 1909. McEachen’s A.M.E. Zion Church, as it turned out, was the social hub of Santa Cruz’s black community during that era and formed the backbone of the Giants squad. The local papers rarely listed the names of the Colored Giants in accounts of their games, but team captain Jack Harris (who scheduled the teams’ games) was a well-known figure in the Santa Cruz community. The 1900 Federal Census lists Harris, born in 1872 in South Carolina, as married, with two children; his occupation is listed as “boot black.” He also lived on Park Street with his mother, an ex-slave, who had been born in 1852. In 1906, Harris was listed as singing in the Santa Cruz Male Quartet, featuring three other local African Americans—Will Brown, Lou Venable and Samuel Pulett. Harris also served as mascot for the Santa Cruz artillery band, which played summers at the beach. In To Know My Name, Reader noted that brothers Louis and Floyd Berry both played on the Colored Giants. Born in 1889 in Ben Lomond (which had a small black community of lumberjacks and wood cutters during that era), Louis Berry was one of the most distinguished athletes and young scholars in the Monterey Bay region in the era preceding World War I.

BREAKING THE COLOR LINE “The Squeeze Inn,” known for its “Spanish dishes,” on Pacific Avenue from 1918-1920. Also on the Colored Giants was Raymond Hunter, the same age as Louis Berry. In 1900, the Hunter family is listed in the Federal Census as living in Alisal in Monterey County, where Robert Hunter, Raymond’s father who had been born a slave in South Carolina, was listed as working as a janitor. In addition to his diamond skills, Hunter was a phenomenal track star, placing first in a high school meet in the 50, 100, 220 and 440-yard races, as well as in the high jump and shot put.

n spite of the social and economic limits imposed on them by Jim Crow racism, the Black Giants were clearly a vital (and apparently beloved) component of the local baseball scene during their brief run in Santa Cruz. In the aftermath of Fourth of July celebrations in 1907, the Santa Cruz Surf carried headlines proclaiming “The Colored Team and Pedmontes [sic] to Cross Bats,” with the newspaper identifying the “Pedmontes” as “the undisputed champion baseball nine.” It proved to be an accurate description, as the Giants lost to the squad named for its star pitcher, Jack Pedemonte, 12-3. The Surf’s coverage of the contest provided some insight into the financial backdrop of these games. Each team put up $2.50, with the combined purse of $5 going to the winners. The umpire for the game was identified as Thomas Alzina, a descendant of one of Branciforte’s earliest families. And while the Surf’s coverage identified every player (and their position) on the Pedemonte team, not a single player on the Colored Giants was named. At the end of July, the Colored Giants played against the Watsonville Pippins in Watsonville. The Watsonville Pajaronian chronicled the contest with a headline, “The Black and Tan Baseball Game,” and asserted in a subhead that: “A Poor Article of the National Game Was Dished Up By Colored Visitors from the County Seat.”

By the mid-1900s, the Berrys had moved to Santa Cruz, where the Berry family is recorded in local newspapers as being active in the “newly organized African Methodist Church.” Both of the Berry parents, Charles and Sarah (“Sallie”), were identified as church officers; many of the other families associated with the team were also members of the congregation. The 1910 Federal Census lists the Berrys as “mulattos.” Charles’ occupation was identified as a “cook” at a local restaurant. Also living at home were four other siblings of Louis, including his brother, Floyd, a year younger and also a gifted athlete. The first public notice of Louis Berry in the local press appeared when he was 15 years old, in 1905, when it was noted that he performed a recitation of “Maid Bess” at the church’s Christmas proceedings. In the fall of 1909, Louis Berry was named captain and fullback of the Santa Cruz High School football team, and in a front page story in the Sentinel, it was noted that Berry and Principal George A. Bond addressed an assembly of students on the “significance of the game.” In one account of the team, the Evening News noted: “The democratic spirit which prevails in high school athletics is shown by the fact that the captain [Louis] and one other member [Floyd] of the team are colored students.” Louis Berry also played shortstop on the high school baseball team and, in track, he ran various dashes and held the league record in the high jump. Younger brother Floyd Berry was also a gifted athlete; and, like his brother, he was a fine student who often performed in the community by presenting recitals and comedic routines. The Berrys’ uncle, Louis Venable, then 34, almost certainly played on the baseball team as well; he was also active in the A.M.E. Zion Church, sang with captain Harris and advertised himself in the local newspapers as an “expert shine artist and Janitor.” Venable later operated the popular lunch house

BREAKING THE COLOR LINE <23 The newspaper further described the Giants as “in reality a black and tan aggregation.” Several players who appeared on other local teams of either California or Southern European descent played for the Colored Giants team in this game. Pitching for the Giants was Al Amaya, a descendant of Branciforte’s Rodriguez and Amaya families, whose performance for the Colored Giants was highlighted in the Pajaronian. In 1908, the Colored Giants scheduled games again in late winter and spring, though their coverage in the local press wasn’t as extensive as it had been the year before. In March, they played against a strong local club calling themselves the Crescents that included Jack Alzina at shortstop. The game was played at Vue de l’Eau Park, according to the Evening News, with the Crescents defeating “the crack colored team in a ten-inning game by a score of 12-11. The feature of the game was the heavy stick work of the Crescents. Martin [Silva] rapped the ball to right field for a home run, and Ernest Rodriguez pitched a good game for the Crescents.” In June, the Giants staged a slugfest with a Santa Cruz team billing itself as the “White Rats,” which had previously lost to teams from Soquel and Scotts Valley by large margins that spring. No names of players were listed in any of the newspaper accounts of the games. On June 8, the Surf registered a headline: “Colored Team Defeated,” noting that “the famous Colored Giants met defeat at the hands of the White Rat team on the Vue de l’Eau diamond Sunday afternoon. Both teams played poor ball, but the White Rats maintained a lead throughout the entire game, easily winning by a score of 26 to 15.” It was the last game played by the Colored Giants ever to be reported in the local press.

fter the Berry brothers and their various teammates completed high school, there is no further record of AfricanAmerican baseball teams playing in Santa Cruz County until 1914.

In January of that year, it was announced that the most celebrated black ball clubs from the east would be traveling to Santa Cruz—the Chicago American Giants, managed by the legendary Andrew “Rube” Foster, one of the greatest pitchers, managers, and executives in Negro League history. By late January, articles announcing a West Coast tour by the American Giants appeared in newspapers across the country. In early February, the Evening News reported that the Giants would be appearing “on the coast about March 1,” declaring that “the negroes are of big league caliber and are said to be better than the Coast league teams.” Three weeks later, the schedule was set. The Evening News reported that “the Chicago American Giants, the greatest colored team in America, will meet the Portland Coast League team at Bush League Park [located on the lower grounds of present-day Santa Cruz High School], Tuesday March 24 … The Giants, after defeating every club played during 1912, set up a record eclipsing anything yet performed by any baseball club and have the reputation of traveling farther than any individual baseball club in the world.” The American Giants’ tour generated national controversy. Organized baseball’s “color line” was still strictly enforced in Jim Crow America, even in the less rigid Pacific Coast League (PCL). In 1913, the American Giants had made a similar tour west, winning five out of six games against the Portland Beavers. Coverage of their tour contained numerous racial slurs, not the least of which was a Giants pitcher being referenced in headlines of the San Francisco Call as a “Big Smoke Twirler,” while the team was dubbed the “Dusky American Giants.” The following year, shortly after the Giants’ West Coast swing was announced, the Call stirred up racial controversy by noting that “some of the magnates and officials” of the PCL were “bitterly opposed” to Portland playing games against “the dusky tossers.”

BREAKING THE COLOR LINE

orld War I marked a dividing line in local African-American history, particularly with respect to black baseball. There were obviously racial restrictions on employment opportunities in Santa Cruz during this era, as African-American men worked primarily as bootblacks, cooks, and laborers. In To Know My Name, Phil Reader noted the following:

HISTORY OF POP Hall of Famer

John ‘Pop’ Lloyd (on the Philadelphia Americans in 1909) played in Santa Cruz in 1914 with the Chicago ‘American’ Giants. PHOTO: COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL PASTIME During this 25 year period [from 1916-1941], the attitude of Santa Cruzans toward its African American citizens did an about face. Up to this point in history it had been a tolerant community throwing up few, if any, roadblocks into the path of their Negro brothers. Now, however, bigotry became a policy in many quarters as blacks were banned or discriminated against at local hotels, road houses and inns…. Finding housing and jobs became an impossible task, so many Negro families left the area in anger and discouragement. In spite of his varied talents as a scholar-athlete at Santa Cruz High, Louis Berry, who played for the Colored Giants a decade earlier, worked as a bootblack downtown. A 1916 article in the Evening News headlined “New Shoe-Shining Parlor for Santa Cruz Women” also noted: “The Walsh-Mellot shoe company will have the addition of an up-todate ladies’ shoe polishing parlor conducted under the direction of Wilbur Hayes. Louis Berry will be employed in this department.” Berry also sang in local ensembles

In spite of the racially infused acrimony, the game in Santa Cruz was played as scheduled. More than 1,000 fans—“one of the largest crowds that ever attended a week-day game at Bush League Park,” according to the Evening News—showed up to witness the contest between the American Giants and Portland. Portland won the game 6-2—it’s speculated that the Giants might have “went easy” during a few games on the tour—but local fans witnessed some of the greatest Negro League stars who ever played the game. The Evening News included a full box score in its lengthy account of the game, and the Giants’ line-up that day included four future Hall of Famers (and a fifth, in Foster as their manager), most notably John Henry “Pop” Lloyd, also known as “El Cuchara” (The Spoon), widely considered one of the greatest shortstops of all time and viewed by Babe Ruth as the greatest baseball player to ever take the field. Lloyd banged out three hits in the game and served as the pivot on a double play. Also in the lineup for the Giants were future Hall of Famers “Smokey Joe” Williams (widely considered the best Negro league pitcher of his day), center fielder John Preston “Pete” Hill, and first baseman Ben Taylor. The American Giants went on to play a game against Portland the following day in Watsonville, where the legendary Foster took the mound. For the first five innings, Foster pitched shutout baseball (he “made the Portland bunch eat out of his hand,” according to the News account), before allowing four runs in the sixth, with Portland ultimately winning the game 6-5.

the Harmony Boys and the Jolly Trio. But the first global “war to end all wars” provided him with opportunities that were not available to him in his hometown. In October of 1918, a headline in the Evening News declared “Berry is Lieutenant,” with the accompanying notice: “Louis Berry, a former Santa Cruz lad, who attended high school and was so prominent in athletics, is now 2nd lieutenant and stands a fine chance of being promoted to first. Ambitious and energetic, this colored boy never let a chance slip by that would mean progress.” There was no place, apparently, for him to direct his ambition and energy in Santa Cruz. By the 1920s, the number of local African Americans of baseball-playing age had dwindled significantly. The Federal Census of 1920 reveals that several members of the Berry family moved to Oakland. Floyd Berry died in San Francisco in 1952 after running a shoeshine stand in the city for many years. Raymond Hunter and several of his siblings moved to Salinas, where he also ran a shoeshine business. As for Louis Berry—the young man heralded as both an athlete and scholar during his days at Santa Cruz High and later described by the Sentinel as “ambitious and energetic”—lived out the remainder of his life throughout California, where he first joined his brother Floyd in the shoeshine business in the East Bay. The 1920 census lists him as living in Los Angeles and working as a laborer in a garage. By 1930, he was back in the Bay Area, employed as a hotel janitor and residing in a boarding house on Sixth Street, in the South of Market district of San Francisco. A decade later, the 1940 census identifies him as a “window washer” living in the multi-ethnic residential Livermore Hotel on Harrison Street in San Francisco, inhabited entirely by older single men. By then, his racial identification in the census had been changed from “mulatto” to “negro.” Louis Berry lived long enough to see Jackie Robinson cross baseball’s

so-called “color line” in 1947, though not quite long enough to see the New York Giants move to his adopted city. He died in San Francisco on April 17, 1956, and is buried at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno. His headstone inscription reads simply: “California, 2nd Lieutenant, 164 Depot Brigade, World War I.” There is no mention of his career as a baseball player in Santa Cruz. Geoffrey Dunn is the author of ‘Santa Cruz is in the Heart’and ‘Images of America: Sports of Santa Cruz County.’ An earlier version of this story appeared in ‘Do You Know My Name?: History Journal No. 8,’ published by the Museum of Art and History and dedicated to the memory of Phil Reader.

famous for their morbidity and ghoulishness, you can expect to have an, er, spirited time at this handsomely produced, enormously good-hearted, family-friendly show. This is a relatively new property that opened on Broadway in 2010 and ran through the end of 2011.

Written by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, it is, of course, inspired by the macabre, darkly funny single-panel cartoons by Charles Addams that ran in The New Yorker for decades. The classic TV sitcom from the 1960s, and a couple

of more recent theatrical films have kept these characters in the public eye since then, but the writers here cook up an original storyline that mostly takes its cues from the cartoons. Director Bobby Marchessault sets the mood right off, inviting us

Of course, the plot is the merest hook on which to hang the main business of observing the Addamses at play. And that’s where this production excels.

But, of course, the plot is the merest hook on which to hang the main business of observing the Addamses at play. And that’s where this production excels. John G. Bridges all but steals the show as a delightfully sweet and goofy Uncle Fester. (Fasten your seatbelts for the funky, yet utterly beguiling bit of stagecraft when he flies up to cavort with the moon.) It’s a running gag that Wednesday routinely tortures kid brother Pugsley (Michael Navarro) on a rack—and how much he loves it. Deborah McArthur plays witchy Grandma with screechy sass, while David Murphy’s zombified butler Lurch, always in slo-mo, provides the show’s biggest, best surprise. Lippa’s songs are consistently clever, and the book is very funny. (“Wednesday’s growing up,” sighs Gomez. “She’ll be Thursday before you know it!”) I’m pretty sure the concept of Gomez as a Latin lover originated with the delightful John Astin in the TV show; it continued with Raul Julia in the movies. In Addams’ cartoons, the characters are unnamed—and if the patriarch, as drawn, resembles anybody, it’s Peter Lorre, or possibly the Hunchback of Notre Dame. But whatever the character’s origins, Saucedo plays Gomez with gusto, geniality, and a terrific singing voice. He couldn’t be any better. His long-awaited tango with Morticia concludes the show on a note of rollicking high spirits. The Cabrillo Stage production of ‘The Addams Family’ plays through July 9 at the Crocker Theatre, Cabrillo College. Call 4796154, or visit cabrillostage.com.

to feast our eyes on William “Skip” Epperson’s splendid proscenium arch decorated with skulls, daggershaped supports, and cobwebs above a row of headstones. Fittingly enough, the show begins in a graveyard, where the entire Addams clan—led by proud patriarch Gomez (Adam Saucedo) and his slinky wife, Morticia (a seductively deadpan Danielle Crook)—arrives for its annual celebration of the dear departed. Calling forth various ghosts of Addamses past, from different eras (a flapper, a conquistador, etc.) they all sing a very funny paean to their ghoulish life in “When You’re An Addams.” (These silvery-grey ghosts, in cheeky but elaborate historical costumes by Chiara Cola, serve a dual purpose as both chorus line and stagehands throughout the rest of the show.) The plot kicks in with the show’s biggest departure from the source material: little daughter Wednesday, usually portrayed as a middle-grade moppet, is now a teenager (Gabrielle Filloux) in the throes of her first love. A dynamic singer, Filloux makes droll teen angst out of her struggle to reconcile the joys of love with the family credo of gloom. The problem is, her boyfriend Lucas (Ryland Gordon) is “normal.” And he and his straight-arrow parents, controlling Mal (Benjamin Canant) and dutiful but neglected Alice (Jessica Ellithorpe) are coming to dinner. Wednesday confides to papa Gomez that she and Lucas want to marry. But she doesn’t want her mom to know until they announce it after dinner. This is a huge conflict of loyalties for Gomez, who has never, ever kept a secret from his beloved Morticia.

GOOD FOR THE ZANDER After years as a sideman in legendary bands like the Circle Jerks and the Weirdos, Zander Schloss plays solo at the Catalyst on Friday, June 30.

JUNE 28-JULY 4, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Live Dynamite

L.A. punk veteran—and Napoleon Dynamite inspiration?— Zander Schloss goes solo BY AARON CARNES

f all the strange twists and turns in musician Zander Schloss’ life, the weirdest has to be inspiring one of modern film’s most memorable cult characters, Napoleon Dynamite. OK, technically it’s unclear if filmmakers Jared and Jerusha Hess were inspired by Schloss to create their 2004 hit indie-comedy. But Schloss is certain his role as Kevin the Nerd in the 1984 cult film Repo Man was the basis of this character. And since he based his portrayal of Kevin the Nerd on himself, it means that he inspired Napoleon

Dynamite—or at least that’s what he assumed when he saw the movie. “It was like looking in a mirror. It was unbearable for me. I couldn’t fucking believe it,” Schloss says. “I had the same hairdo. The same glasses. I probably wore the same suit to my graduation. Had the same attitude, the same mannerisms.” Acting in underground films is only a small part of Schloss’ odd career. Around that same time, he played bass in seminal first wave L.A. punk bands the Circle Jerks and the Weirdos. Later, he played guitar and collaborated with a ton of

musicians, most notably the Clash’s Joe Strummer. Now, for the first time, he’s working on a solo record. He swings by Santa Cruz on his first solo U.S. tour, which follows a successful solo European tour. Despite such a long career, his biggest challenge is connecting with people that have been fans of his various other projects, but are likely unaware that he was part of them. “I don’t think anyone really knows who I am,” Schloss says. “I jump around with genres. I do film scores. I act. I pop up in the strangest

places. Maybe it’s to my detriment to not pigeonhole myself. I’m just a 55-year-old dude with 35 years of experience touring in bands and making records. Who’s interested?” If people do know who he is, most likely it’s from his early ’80s punk bands, which are pretty far removed from the vulnerable acoustic music he’s playing nowadays as a singersongwriter. “It’s a terrifying concept. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but was always too scared to do. It’s personally coming from my heart, and if you don’t like me, I’ll just fucking die,” Schloss says. It’s not entirely uncommon for aging punk rockers to go acoustic, but the ones that do tend to bring a raw, aggressive element to the strippeddown sound. Schloss’ music sounds like that of a weathered storyteller raised on roots music, which is essentially the case. His early bands were not punk. He grew up in St. Louis, and his first idols were Bob Dylan, Doc Watson and Neil Young. He got involved with the punk scene after moving to LA to try to score films. He landed an acting role in Alex Cox’s Repo Man, and also connected with the punk community. His roots may have not been punk, but it shaped his attitude from then on. It was Strummer that encouraged him to give the guitar and songwriting a shot. The two worked together on Sid and Nancy and Straight To Hell—“he said to me, ‘What are you doing playing bass in a hardcore band?’” The two worked on four albums together in the late ’80s, and Schloss has collaborated with several other people since. Now, with his solo debut in the works, he can’t help but focus on the stranger contributions he’s made to the larger culture. His Kevin the Nerd character, for instance, introduced the fauxhawk to mainstream America, and he happily takes credit for that. “I believe in my crazy own mind that I created the fauxhawk,” he says, laughing. “You never saw the fauxhawk before that.” INFO: 9 p.m., Friday, June 30, Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $8/adv, $10/door. 429-4135.

HEALTH B12 HAPPY HOUR B12 helps support energy, mood, sleep, immunity, metabolism and stress resilience. Since B12 is not absorbed well during digestion, and all B vitamins are depleted by stress, most Americans are deficient. Having B12 in the form of an injection bypasses the malabsorption problem, and people often feel an immediate difference. Every Thursday morning, we offer discounted vitamin B12 by walk-in or appointment. 9 a.m.-Noon. Thrive Natural Medicine, 2840 Park Ave. Soquel. www.thrivenatmed.com or 515-8699. $15.

What grew out of a conversation between local artists in February has grown to a 60-plus-member organization, Artists Respond and Resist Together, that marches in local actions, creates street theater productions, and facilitates community art engagement. “We are an affiliation of artists joined together by our shared belief in the power of art to effect social change and protect democratic values. Our creative skills support progressive social actions in our local community and beyond,” says their mission statement. This exhibit will showcase their art of resistance and the newly remodeled Resource Center for Nonviolence at a First Friday reception on July 7 in addition to the exhibit opening July 3.

LOCAL BAND

COSMIC REEF TEMPLE In the music world, it’s pretty common for fans to say they worship a band. But how many bands can actually brag about being their own religion? The members of Santa Cruz’s prog-surfpsych brethren Cosmic Reef Temple can, as they spread the word of Cod to anyone who will listen. “It started as a joke, but it’s gotten more serious,” says guitarist “Friar” Sam Boodt with a smile. “There’s even a website that archives different churches and [lists] us. They basically took our info from Facebook and pasted it. Not sure if they noticed that.”

JUNE 28-JULY 4, 20177 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Founded by Boodt and drummer Chris Patzke in 2014, Cosmic Reef Temple was birthed from the ashes of their blackened-doom group, Folivore.

“Chris and I wanted to originally do a surf metal band when we started jamming,” Boodt says. “Then we kept adding more and more people to the band.” In April, CRT released their first “sacrament,” Age of the Spaceborn, a beast of a debut that was recorded in three days with only three songs, but clocks in at over 38 minutes. It features core members Boodt, Patzke, Kevin Reyes on bass, Daniel Sleeper on synths and Jonathan Weidel on sax. For those who can’t make Cosmic Reef Temple’s SubRosa show on June 30 with Oort Cloud and Barrows, the wizard-priests will be throwing another sermon on July 29, in the great outdoors of the Davenport Ditch. MAT WEIR INFO: 6 p.m. SubRosa Community Space, 703 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $5. 426-5242.

AUSTIN LOUNGE LIZARDS

WEDNESDAY 6/28 HIP-HOP

PHORA Although Phora might be a new name in mainstream hip-hop, he’s been a prominent figure in the underground since 2011, when he founded the record label Yours Truly. After several of his releases when to number one on iTunes, the 22-year-old signed to Warner Bros. Records in February of this year. He quickly got to work and dropped his latest single and video, “Rider,” last month. His melodic voice and passionate lyrics about life, love and music have earned him credibility in the hip-hop world often assigned to the likes of Hopsin, Slug, and J. Cole, among others. MAT WEIR INFO: 8:30 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $25-$110. 429-4135.

THURSDAY 6/29 AMERICANA

AUSTIN LOUNGE LIZARDS You know how you’re not supposed to talk about politics and religion at the

dinner table? Well you might want to avoid taking your family to an Austin Lounge Lizards concert while you’re at it. The Texas satirical folk-bluegrass group has been poking fun at right-wing politics and religion since 1980. Previous takedowns include “The Ballad of Ronald Reagan” and “Gingrich The Newt”—oh, what innocent times those were when they were the big scary Republican politicians we relentlessly made fun of. Who knows what silly songs the Lizards have planned for our current fearless leader. AARON CARNES INFO: 7:30 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $20. 335-2800.

FRIDAY 6/30 HAWAIIAN

WILLIE K Known as Uncle Willie on the islands, Willie K is one of the most treasured contemporary Hawaiian musicians. Able to play just about any style—including pop, traditional island music, jazz, blues, reggae, rock and even opera—multi-instrumentalist Willie K is especially attracted to the blues, the music he grew up listening to and

playing. As he has put it, “Anyone who has been there since day one knows how much I love the blues ... Playing the blues makes me happy, and everybody loves it when I do.” CJ INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $20/adv, $25/ door. 479-1854.

FOLK

KEITH GREENINGER & DAYAN KAI Keith Greeninger is one of the quiet treasures of the Santa Cruz music scene—a standout musician with a consciousness that matches his impressive songwriting and guitar-playing chops. On Friday, he is joined on stage by one-time Santa Cruzan and beloved multi-instrumentalist Dayan Kai, who embodies the spirit of aloha wherever he goes. Longtime friends, Greeninger and Kai have a sound that encompasses folk, international, roots, island styles and more. On Friday, they hit the Kuumbwa on a tour that includes a main stage performance at the renowned Kate Wolf Festival. CJ INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $25/gen, $45/gold. 427-2227.

ROCK

NRBQ NRBQ is the kind of band that attracts other bands as fans, from obscure indie bands like Yo La Tengo to mainstream legends like Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney. And they’ve built a 50-plus year career on the fringes of rock ’n’ roll. Formed in 1966, the group has taken a mostly accessible rockabilly-meets-Beatles-pop sound and infused subtle odd elements, like clever weavings of country, jazz, and R&B into the music. Truly, NRBQ is one of the greatest underground rock bands that the United States has ever

produced. After 50 years, they are still rocking out clubs with a ton of passion and energy. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $25. 335-2800.

SUNDAY 7/2 ATASH There’s a wonderfully off-kilter symmetry to the creative journey of Mohammad Firoozi Dashtestani, the guiding spirit of celebrated Austin world music band Atash. After singing rock songs in phonetic English in his native Iran as a teenager, he came of age as a musician in Texas belting Farsi lyrics to a swirling mélange of Near Eastern cadences, rock ’n’ roll energy and jazz improvisation. His band Atash is an Austin institution, and the talent-laden incarnation of the band he brings to Northern California includes Lebanese-born accordion maestro Elias Lammam, Garaj Mahal guitarist Fareed Haque and Uzbeki percussion master Doyra Abbos Kosimov.

Untransformed

Could director Michael Bay ever make a good ‘Transformers’ movie? BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

ike a wealthy scrap merchant seeking a coat of arms, director Michael Bay hired Anthony Hopkins’ integrity to fluff up the class of Transformers: The Last Knight. As “Sir Edmund Burton,” an earl with historical connections to the medieval roots of this Transformers business, Hopkins keeps a level voice intoning lines like “without sacrifice, there can be no victory … without leaders, chaos reigns.” The speediest way down the path to madness is to try to synopsize a Michael Bay movie. It begins in King

Arthur’s day with a drunken Merlin (Stanley Tucci) muttering dialogue that could be improved by any Renaissance faire busker. The magus unleashes a three-headed megaGhidrah to save Arthur’s skin. The Arthurian scenes look more lavish and exciting than the recent King Arthur movie by Guy Ritchie, but then it’s off to our near future. It’s a dark time—we know this because we’re told it’s a dark time. The Transformer robots are in hiding and being besieged by soldiers, and Optimus Prime has floated off to find his home world.

Above the clashes, we almost hear something topical about immigrants (“One day, we’ll wake up and they’ll be in charge,” says a character of the ’bots). In the colossus-battered slums of Chicago, the plucky little girl Izabelle (Isabela Moner)—who will give the movie’s climactic fist pump and shout of “Yes!”—looks like she’s going to be the movie’s heroine. But she’s off to a junkyard in the Dakotas where Mark Wahlberg is waiting—his Cade Yeager is protecting an odd lot of bots, including a burly soldier voiced by John Goodman. Ever restless, Bay heads for

Oxford, where the hottie history professor Vivian Wembley (Laura Haddock) is insulting the memory of King Arthur because of longstanding father issues. Sad things happen in this movie, but maybe the saddest is when Yeagar accuses this skinny, Olivia Wilde-like Oxford don of wearing a stripper dress, and she replies, “I could take it off if it would make you more comfortable.” Locations, locations: Stonehenge, Havana, Namibia. At one point John Turturro is on the phone claiming that Dublin’s Book of Kells is printed on “goat scrotum” (parchment). Why go after the Book of Kells? And what was this movie’s script printed on? I’ve heard the vulgar-auteur arguments about how Bay’s ability to blow stuff up mitigates the really terrible dialogue that occurs again and again in his work. And there are certain sequences that justify the gigantism of it all, such as a robot in pieces pulling himself together in mid-air while simultaneously clobbering a group of soldiers. It may be that movies that have quite good demolition sequences don’t require defending—the first Avengers movie, for instance, where the Manhattan skyscrapers seemed to be fulfilling their architectural function by exploding into fountains of glass, or the low angle car chase in Rome in Spectre, particularly exciting in IMAX. Since the critical loathing for the Transformers saga is so high, you’ll hear that we’re missing something—an angle on the maligned genius of Bay. There is craft here. It’s a pity the movie is bewilderingly bad, with Bay’s reliably smelly sexual politics perfuming the joint. Giant robots are impressive when they punch their mammoth heads out of a 3D IMAX screen; in closeup, these megagoliaths look like the work of Boris Artzybasheff, who did for gears and bolts what the artist Arcimboldo did for zucchinis. But watching Bay, you never know where you are, you never know who’s shouting, you never know why every entity in the universe has to bump its chest or bitchslap something’s face. TRANSFORMERS With Mark Wahlberg, Laura Haddock, Stanley Tucci and Anthony Hopkins. Written by Art Markum, Matt Holloway and Ken Nolan. Directed by Michael Bay. PG-13; 150 minutes.

Neck Pain

FOOD & DRINK Soquel Avenue. “That felt like the most ‘Kickin Chicken.’ Our menu was playful, and a little bit low art.” I remember ordering offbeat creations like macaroni and cheese with Flamin’ Hot Cheeto breadcrumbs, or incendiary hot chicken, which arrived between two pieces of white bread that did nothing to deter the addicting fiery flavor. After tossing out menu ideas like housemade American cheese and giant dill pickles, Williams offers a revealing declaration about their playful menu: “Forget farm to table; we’re fryer to couch.” If you prefer to enjoy Kickin Chicken in the comfort of your home, don’t worry, their delivery service will continue uninterrupted.

Fried and True

Kickin Chicken moves from the Food Lounge into the upstairs kitchen at Motiv BY LILY STOICHEFF

fter a 16-month run in the upstairs kitchen of the downtown club Motiv, Ulterior chef Zachary Mazi and business partner Tighe Melville of LionFish Supper Club have decided to pursue other passions. Ulterior closed at the end of May, and on July 12 the beloved fried chicken delivery service and self-proclaimed “lords of late night” Kickin Chicken will take over the space. After a long residency at the Food Lounge, this is owners Justin Williams’ and Daniel Mendoza’s first

full-service restaurant—an upgrade they’ve been pursuing for their successful delivery-only venture for at least a year. And really, is there a pairing more apropos? What could be more satisfying after a couple of Motiv’s well-crafted cocktails than fried chicken? Williams and Mendoza plan on sticking to their tried and true menu of tender, crispy fowl, and are looking forward to adding their offbeat yet undeniably delicious comfort food. Williams reports that

miso butterscotch ribs are likely to be on the menu, as will their “Trash Salad,” a mélange of repurposed vegetable odds and edds that would have otherwise ended up in the compost bin. It’s served in a tiny trashcan in order to really drive their point home—and maybe put a smile (or a grimace) on customers’ faces. “We’re almost going back to our Midtown pop-up roots,” says Williams, referring to the popular pop-ups they threw in 2015 at the now-shuttered Midtown Café on

With all of the lovely warm weather we’ve been having, doesn’t a picnic in the park sound nice? The first Food Truck Event is coming to San Lorenzo Park on Friday, June 30. Food truck event company Food Trucks A Go Go is putting on the event, which will feature six local food trucks including Saucey’z, G’s Mexican Tacos, Ate3One, Lindsey’s Palate Pleasures, Aunt LaLi’s Mobile Cafe and Drunk Monkey’s, plus a beer and wine garden with Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing and Bargetto Winery.

BREW CRUZ PARTY Brew Cruz, the local brewery tour bus and brainchild of Annie WolffPautsch, is celebrating its third anniversary from noon to 9 p.m. on the Fourth of July at Shanty Shack Brewing. The Brew Cruz Session IPA, a special collaboration beer brewed for the event, will be on tap and Gordo Gustavo’s BBQ will serve up pork products lovingly coaxed to smoky, tender perfection by Austin Towne. The lovely and infamous Betty Jane, WolffPautsch’s converted 1989 Thomas International school bus, will be converted into a photo booth and SLV rockers the Coffis Brothers will play a show at 5 p.m. Even if the upcoming holiday feels marred by our current political climate, I’m looking forward to celebrating two things to which my loyalty has never swayed—our community and beer.

have to go through a lot of red tape,” says Young. “It made me really sad because I knew how much food was being thrown away without other options.” Now, each week she and her team collect waste from more than 300 households, and bring it to the Homeless Garden Project’s Westside farm to become garden fertilizer. Young’s program is modeled after the Compost Pedallers, a similar effort in Austin. Since she started in 2014, Santa Cruz Compost Co. has diverted more than 200,000 pounds of waste from the landfill. Young keeps meticulous notes on the waste produced by each household and awards each one via a point system per pound. “The way I see it, it’s an extra monthly bill, so we want people to feel like they get something back,” says Young. For every 20 pounds of waste, the household receives five pounds of compost, or other gifts and rewards from her Compost Rewards Program. Whatever’s leftover goes to the Homeless Garden Project in exchange for the space. santacruzcompost.com.

s I prepare kale for dinner, I guide my knife along the long, tough stem, separating it from the tender leaves. Once I finish the bunch, I gather the undesirable odds and ends and move toward the trash. I think, as I have a thousand times before, that there must be a better way to dispose of my kitchen scraps, but lacking the time and tools to compost, I swallow my misgivings and throw it all in the garbage. This was my daily routine until I discovered Santa Cruz Composting Co., the bicycle-powered residential compost collection service serving the city of Santa Cruz from Shaffer Road and Delaware Avenue to Capitola’s Jewel Box. Now that I’ve subscribed to their $5 weekly service, I fill the five-gallon bucket they provide with my organic trash, which is collected weekly and transformed into rich garden gold. The Compost Fairy behind this ingenious system is Ivy Young, a local woman who became an entrepreneur when she realized the dearth of composting services in the community. “The city is trying to get something together, but they

HOUSE WINE The anvil on the label of Stockwell’s Casa Del Herrero suits its name,

Oysters July 7 July 15

which means ‘house of the blacksmith.’ PHOTO: COURTESY OF STOCKWELL CELLARS Handcrafted in the Santa Cruz Mountains

Casa del Herrero Stockwell Cellar label Tempranillo is a perfect match for paella BY JOSIE COWDEN

Michel Loubiere, the other half of Au Midi Restaurant’s husband and wife team, uncorked the Tempranillo for us and I took a sip. It’s an excellent wine, for sure, but with its high acidity levels, it needs a little time to breathe—its earthy aromas become more prevalent, and its flavors more mellow. The wine’s rather tart notes of raspberries, cherries, rhubarb and pluots paired beautifully with the creamy Arborio rice and sauce of the paella, and the richness of the beef and gravy. Every time I drink a full-bodied Tempranillo, this varietal from Spain’s Rioja region grows on me a little more. Head to Stockwell Cellars to try it—you’re guaranteed to have fun in the tasting room most Friday nights, when his place becomes a music venue with an upbeat vibe. Stockwell Cellars, 1100 Fair Ave., Santa Cruz, 818-9075. (Entrance on the Ingalls Street side of the building). stockwellcellars.com.

oes Tempranillo go with paella? Yes, it does. Both Tempranillo and paella hail from Spain, and they pair up like a matador and his cape. This easy-drinking red also pairs very nicely with beef stew. These were our two entrees at Au Midi a couple of weeks ago. My husband and I headed there on a Wednesday because I had a craving for paella, and Chef Muriel Loubiere makes an excellent one. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, she prepares this traditional Spanish dish, and it’s always bursting with succulent shellfish and a variety of meats. I had bought the Casa del Herrero Tempranillo 2013 ($30) at an event at Stockwell Cellars, and I took it along to Au Midi to have with paella. Casa del Herrero is another label of Stockwell Cellars and means “house of the blacksmith.” Don’t miss the anvil in their Westside tasting room—a cool industrial addition to Stockwell’s rustic wine cellar piled high with barrels. Winemaker (and steelworker) Eric Stockwell is turning out some splendid wines, the Tempranillo being one of them.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES THE CHIRON STATIONS

Esoteric Astrology as news for week of June 28, 2017 Wednesday we talk a lot and do a lot. Then we feel we’ve done and said too much. So we pull back into a Saturn shadow. But we still keep talking (Virgo moon). Thursday, Virgo moon continues and we are still talking. Why does Virgo talk so much? Because that’s how they integrate their experiences and understand their lives. We listen with patience. Thursday, we feel we’ve had enough talk, and so we thrust ourselves into a mystery. And stay there awhile—Mercury opposes Pluto. Friday, Libra moon, we seek balance from the last two days. It’s the second quarter moon, rising at sunset, growing from crescent to full. We, too, are developing and growing toward a fruition. Saturday, Chiron (the wound, the healing) retrogrades (till Dec. 5). Chiron helps us feel and be aware of our deepest wounds. Later we are able to recognize the same wound in others. As our

compassion comes forth for others, a wholeness and healing occurs within us. Sunday is Mars opposite Pluto. A day to be very careful of self, family and all others. Not a good day to climb mountains. Monday, our wounds heal. Tuesday, July 4, Independence Day, is the 241st birthday of the United States, a country created by the Hierarchy (inner spiritual government) as an experiment in freedom. Externally, the U.S. was formed in order to liberate itself from England (freedom from the old ways). The United States of America is called to do a “great work.” That of “standing within the Light and leading humanity within and towards that Light.” The United States, in these days of crisis, is in need of new enlightened servers—the New Group of World Servers.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

The month ahead sees you working toward all that you value. If you don’t actually know what your values are, then be a keen observer of yourself—your thoughts, actions, friends, focus, communications. You may be slower than usual, tending what you love (and value) with extra care. You see your ambition, the acquiring of possessions, your impatience or impulsiveness. Your senses are more alive. You may eat more. Everything changes.

Careful with projecting any sort of anger from long ago toward others, especially intimates. You may be unaware of doing this. Are there issues with joint money and resources? Are there conflicts and crisis concerning different values? Sometimes you just want to act and be on your own. This is both subtle and overt. Careful of consequences. Begin with knowing your true needs. Then step forward and love more. Out of conflict comes great harmony.

TAURUS Apr21–May21

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

You have the Vulcan volcanic ability to make gold out of lead. You have so many abilities, you can share a few. Notice reactions to events and people. You’re more communicative, energetic, active, forceful and sometimes, a bit aggressive (shocking!). For a moment or two it’s OK for you to be overly assertive. Rarely do you do such things. Each day there’s more and more to do in your life. Do all that you can to achieve poise and equilibrium. And rest more.

Everything may be changing or challenging, both professionally or intimately. Should you encounter conflict, attempt to see if it’s a reflection of your internal conflicts. This is how and why conflicts occur. They also appear after great struggle so that a new level of harmony will emerge. Everything will be conflictual, then it resolves, then there’s rapprochement. Help someone, in the meantime. Be as kind as you can be. And pray more.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

Venus slipped into your house of Pisces. You become more spiritual, perhaps religious, more sensitive, reluctant to push the river. Confidence has taken a different path than you’ve taken. Working a bit more in secret, you can be blamed for things you didn’t do. Gradually a sense of instinct becomes intuition and the past merges with the present and life becomes more valuable. Dreams (day and night) appear, imagination is creative. Music of the spheres is a must.

Interesting new (and more) energy appears in the groups, daily routines, work schedules and workloads. Focus on health matters—exercise, diet, walking, running, yoga, etc. A daily regime of physical activity is important, otherwise depression, anger, frustration, restlessness, mental and emotional distortions can result. Be cooperative when working with others. Be on time. Respond. Don’t dispute anything. Recite silent Ohms. “Laughter is the best meditation,” said Alan Watts.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 You might feel you have lots of energy out in the world. But really there’s a great need to rest, reflect and contemplate yourself. You have become like Persephone. Pluto has taken you underground. All you can do is drink pomegranate juice now, things red, orange, yellow, deep blue. At times Pluto had a jealousy issue. Do you see that in your life with those around you? Tend to close loved ones. Speak words of love. Is communication difficult at times? Is there a wound occurring? Is your home changing? So many questions!

You are a valued leader, the one everyone looks to, hopes to be, emulates and learns from. You’re recognized for your accomplishments. This pleases you, though you hide it. A Leo, to evolve, must be seen, recognized, praised and applauded for their efforts, gifts, talents, creative abilities. Praise is how (especially) Leos can more fully identify themselves. Praise helps Leos say, “I am because of what I create (and you see it).” Eventually you will turn to others and praise them, too.

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22

PISCES Feb19–Mar20

There is a need, hope, wish and hunger for adventure far away from daily life. There’s a restlessness that can’t take no for an answer. Your mind and heart actually do need expansion through travel and new experiences. All of the energy you’re feeling will propel you into travel, new studies, new interests, new books and new learning. Stay away from overt opinions, disagreements, arguments and anything illegal. If traveling, travel with a group.

Work efficiently on order and organization each day. Allow yourself to consider future aspirations. Talk about your ideas, plans, hopes, wishes, dreams and aspirations. Communications may become tense and heated, with disagreements emerging. Allow this to occur, step back, observe any impatience and/or impulsiveness. This is Mars at work. Tend to hands and feet with care. Sew, journal, draw and paint.

Take special care of money and resources, or they will float away someday. Be more protective and defensive with yourself in order to have more security. Are you concerned about your family? You will be more moody, restless at home with possible family conflict or disputes. If previous issues from the past emerge, it’s time to talk with someone about them. Perhaps you’re asking “where is my true home?”

It is most important to think about efforts at cooperation that impact a group. With all of your thoughts and ideas, you may be inclined to talk more. It’s just a stage, as you continue to redefine yourself and your ever-changing values. You find yourself participating in a team effort, toward a humanitarian goal. It’s most important to have daily agendas, schedules, plans and goals mapped out. They become your order, context and protection.

BRITTANY CRASS, 7-Year Customer, Santa Cruz

Occupation: Hot dog cart owner; Sales/marketing, Shanty Shanti Shack Brewing Hobbies: Bike riding, movies, reading, tasting/drinking craft beer/ bartending Astrological Sign: Capricorn

BRANDON PADILLA, 9-Year Customer, Santa Cruz Hobbies: Cooking, biking, music, camping Astrological Sign: Cancer

Who or what got you shopping here? BRITTANY: “As a student it seemed everyone shopped Westside markets. I didn’t care for them. I was always curious about Shopper’s when driving by. The retro signage always intrigued me. I finally stopped in. This place is awesome! I was amazed by the variety and local products.” BRANDON: “My housemates in college piqued my interest. There’s some competition in Santa Cruz for the best grocery store — more than any other town I’ve lived in. Everyone’s always asking, ‘Where do you shop?’ I felt I had to go to every spot. I liked Shopper’s best. It’s fast — no waiting in long checkout lines. I like the wide variety of products and appreciate the store size.”

Occupation: Owner/brewer, Shanty Shanti Shack Brewing

What are some factors that draw you here? BRITTANY: “Fresh produce with good pricing.” BRANDON: “Everyone is so friendly all the time. We know the butchers, and you feel comfortable asking cooking tips.” BRITTANY: “Some of the checkers come into the brewery, too! It’s community, ya know? BRANDON: “It seems like there’s a bond between the employees, as they feel comfortable at work. The “community” thing goes a long way in making customers feel happy.” BRITTANY: “We’re drawn to the many unique products, like the mustards and specialty products you cannot get elsewhere. We serve some of them with our cheese and meats at Shanty Shanti Shack.”

What’s usually on your shopping list? BRANDON: “I like all of Shopper’s different sausages, especially the breakfast sausages. The fish is always fresh. We bought salmon last week and it was excellent! Oh, and of course, their chocolate candies!” BRITTANY: “We’re fans of both the organic and conventional produce — we switch off. The dill’s the best.” BRANDON: “I like to make bolognese sauce. The canned Italian tomatoes I use I can only find at Shopper’s, and they they have a great pasta selection.” BRITTANY: “We buy a lot of the marinated meats — so easy and ready to go. Oh, and their wines.” BRANDON: “After drinking beer all day, sometimes we prefer to have a good wine.”

“Shopper’s retro signage always intrigued me. I finally stopped in. This place is awesome! I was amazed by the variety and local products.”
