OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE I first met UCSC professor Gary Griggs a couple of years ago, while we were both waiting around on Four Mile Beach during the shooting of a film about Santa Cruz nature photographer Frans Lanting. There is probably no better circumstances under which to meet Griggs—on a beach, where he is completely in his element, with lots of time to fill in between setups. In fact, he had actually brought photos of Santa Cruz beaches; I’m not sure they were even for the film, it’s possible he just carries these things around with him. Within minutes, he was showing me photos of local rock arches from different decades to illustrate how they had crumbled over time, and then literally reaching out to put his hand on the mudstone of one of the cliffs next to us and explaining why they are so vulnerable to erosion.

Since then, when I’m at the beach, I still sometimes find myself explaining to whoever I’m with how wave energy works on mudstone.

I’m serious, that’s how it is with

DIRECT ACTION ON HOMELESSNESS I was happy to read the article in the Good Times about the 180/2020 Program. The folks at the Santa Cruz Homeless Services Center deserve (as do many other social service providers in our community) a great thank you from the community of Santa Cruz for taking direct action that addresses the significant problem of homelessness in Santa Cruz. They have housed nearly 600 people—moving chronically homeless and veterans off the street and into permanent supportive housing—through the 180/2020 Program that began in 2012.

At the recent 180/2020 event that celebrated this milestone, their speaker Josh Bamberger, MD, from the San Francisco Dept. of Public Health, had this message of hope: we are often overwhelmed by the substance abuse, mental illness and chronic medical

Griggs—he has a way of explaining things in such a clear way, opening your eyes to how the world is working around you.

That’s why I’m heartened to see him releasing a new book on climate change, and from his interview with Maria Grusauskas in this week’s issue, I can see he’s lost none of his power both as a scientist and a storyteller. I guarantee you will learn a lot from her article about the dangers threatening our coasts—and you might just find yourself telling someone else about it next time you’re on the beach.

One more thing: it’s getting to be time for Santa Cruz Gives, the most important thing we do all year. Last year, our holiday-giving program raised $181,000 for local nonprofits, and in 2017 we plan to do even better.

We are now accepting proposals from nonprofits who want to participate; check out our website santacruzgives. org for guidelines. The deadline is Sept. 4. For the last two years, we have been blown away by the innovation and creativity we’ve seen from local nonprofits in the ways they seek to improve the quality of life in Santa Cruz County, and I have a feeling they’ll top themselves again this year.

problems we find on our streets, but there is a prescription to treat this epidemic. The treatment is called Housing First. Currently, activists in Los Angeles and Portland are tapping into health care funding to build and/ or renovate housing. Santa Cruz needs to fully explore this option as a way to address this public health problem. We, as a community need to be smart; we must avail ourselves of the most current, proven, methods to keep our city citizens healthy and safe. There is a way.

To search for solutions, and actively work to resolve for this public health problem is simply the right thing to do; but remember this also: “It costs less to house homeless people than to leave them on the street and in shelters.” – Shaun Donovan, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, 3/05/2012.

SHOWER TO THE PEOPLE

WOOD LOVE TO LEARN

Community activist Brent Adams has been watching the recommendations of the city’s Homelessness Coordinating Committee, and he’s promoting a contribution he’d like to make to the brainstorm: showers in storage lockers. Nonprofit or city leaders can either truck the showers around or create a hygiene hub that’s only open during the morning and night, Adams says.

The idea is technically a combination of the city’s recommendations on increased storage and community showers.

A nonprofit focusing on multi-science learning— with physics and chemistry, along with life, earth and nature sciences—is celebrating 20 years.

Santa Cruz’s Outdoor Science Exploration and Classroom Science Fun started in the summer of 1997, and has helped many students learn that the sciences can be interesting and fun.

Programs include school and afterschool classes, in addition to summer field trips, including backpacking in Yosemite. Teachers strive to nurture students’ natural talents and help them develop their interests.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of August 23 ARIES Mar21–Apr19

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22

Welcome to Swami Moonflower’s Psychic Hygiene Hints.

Ready for some mystical cleansing? Hint #1: To remove stains on your attitude, use a blend of Chardonnay wine, tears from a cathartic crying session, and dew collected before dawn. Hint #2: To eliminate glitches in your love life, polish your erogenous zones with pomegranate juice while you visualize the goddess kissing your cheek. #3: To get rid of splotches on your halo, place angel food cake on your head for two minutes, then bury the cake in holy ground while chanting, “It’s not my fault! My evil twin’s a jerk!” #4: To banish the imaginary monkey on your back, whip your shoulders with a long silk ribbon until the monkey runs away. #5: To purge negative money karma, burn a dollar bill in the flame of a green candle.

Psychologist James Hansell stated his opinion of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: “He was wrong about so many things. But he was wrong in such interesting ways.

He pioneered a whole new way of looking at things.”

That description should provide good raw material for you to consider as you play with your approach to life in the coming weeks, Libra. Being right won’t be half as important as being willing to gaze at the world from upside-down, inside-out perspectives. So I urge you to put the emphasis on formulating experimental hypotheses, not on proving definitive theories. Be willing to ask naive questions and make educated guesses and escape your own certainties.

TAURUS Apr20–May20

You’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll be likely to receive gifts at a higher rate than usual.

Some gifts could be big, complex, and catalytic, though others may be subtle, cryptic, or even covert. While some may be useful, others could be problematic. So I want to make sure you know how important it is to be discerning about these offerings. You probably shouldn’t blindly accept all of them. For instance, don’t rashly accept a “blessing” that would indebt or obligate you to someone in ways that feel uncomfortable.

A reader named Kameel Hawa writes that he “prefers pleasure to leisure and leisure to luxury.” That list of priorities would be excellent for you to adopt during the coming weeks. My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you will be the recipient of extra amounts of permission, relief, approval, and ease. I won’t be surprised if you come into possession of a fresh X-factor or wild card. In my opinion, to seek luxury would be a banal waste of such precious blessings. You’ll get more health-giving benefits that will last longer if you cultivate simple enjoyments and restorative tranquility.

GEMINI May21–June20 The coming weeks will be an excellent time to cruise past the houses where you grew up, the schools you used to attend, the hotspots where you and your old friends hung out, and the places where you first worked and had sex. In fact, I recommend a grand tour of your past. If you can’t literally visit the locations where you came of age, simply visualize them in detail. In your imagination, take a leisurely excursion through your life story. Why do I advise this exercise? Because you can help activate your future potentials by reconnecting with your roots.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

AUGUST 23-29, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

One of my favorite Cancerian artists is Penny Arcade, a New York performance artist, actress, and playwright. In this horoscope, I offer a testimonial in which she articulates the spirit you’d be wise to cultivate in the coming weeks. She says, "I am the person I know best, inside out, the one who best understands my motivations, my struggles, my triumphs. Despite occasionally betraying my best interests to keep the peace, to achieve goals, or for the sake of beloved friendships, I astound myself by my appetite for life, my unwavering curiosity into the human condition, my distrust of the status quo, my poetic soul and abiding love of beauty, my strength of character in the face of unfairness, and my optimism despite defeats and loss."

LE0 Jul23–Aug22 The Witwatersrand is a series of cliffs in South Africa. It encompasses 217 square miles. From this area, which is a tiny fraction of the Earth’s total land surface, humans have extracted 50 percent of all the gold ever mined. I regard this fact as an apt metaphor for you to meditate on in the next 12 months, Leo. If you’re alert, you will find your soul’s equivalent of Witwatersrand. What I mean is that you’ll have a golden opportunity to discover emotional and spiritual riches that will nurture your soul as it has rarely been nurtured.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 What I wish for you is a toasty coolness. I pray that you will claim a messy gift. I want you to experience an empowering surrender and a calming climax. I very much hope, Virgo, that you will finally see an obvious secret and capitalize on some unruly wisdom and take an epic trip to an intimate turning point. I trust that you’ll find a barrier that draws people together instead of keeping them apart. These wonders may sound paradoxical, and yet they’re quite possible and exactly what you need.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 You are currently under the influence of astrological conditions that have led to dramatic boosts of self-esteem in laboratory rats. To test the theory that this experimental evidence can be applied to humans, I authorize you to act like a charismatic egomaniac in the coming weeks.

JUST KIDDING! I lied about the lab rats. And I lied about you having the authorization to act like an egomaniac.

But here are the true facts: The astrological omens suggest you can and should be a lyrical swaggerer and a sensitive swashbuckler.

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19 I invite you to eliminate all of the following activities from your repertoire in the next three weeks: squabbling, hassling, feuding, confronting, scuffling, skirmishing, sparring, and brawling. Why is this my main message to you?

Because the astrological omens tell me that everything important you need to accomplish will come from waging an intense crusade of peace, love, and understanding.

The bickering and grappling stuff won’t help you achieve success even a little—and would probably undermine it.

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18 Stockbrokers in Pakistan grew desperate when the Karachi Stock Exchange went into a tailspin. In an effort to reverse the negative trend, they performed a ritual sacrifice of ten goats in a parking lot. But their “magic” failed. Stocks continued to fade. Much later they recovered, but not in a timely manner that would suggest the sacrifice worked. I urge you to avoid their approach to fixing problems, especially now. Reliance on superstition and wishful thinking is guaranteed to keep you stuck. On the other hand, I’m happy to inform you that the coming weeks will be a highly favorable time to use disciplined research and rigorous logic to solve dilemmas.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In the coming days, maybe you could work some lines from the Biblical “Song of Solomon” into your intimate exchanges. The moment is ripe for such extravagance.

Can you imagine saying things like, “Your lips are honey,” or “You are a fountain in the garden, a well of living waters”? In my opinion, it wouldn’t even be too extreme for you to murmur, “May I find the scent of your breath like apricots, and your whispers like spiced wine flowing smoothly to welcome my caresses.” If those sentiments seem too flowery, you could pluck gems from Pablo Neruda’s love sonnets. How about this one: “I want to do with you what spring does to the cherry trees.”

Here’s another: “I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”

Victoria’s complaint that the movie doesn’t show “the other side of the argument” is absolutely incorrect. In fact, the movie is all about showing the arguments the other side puts forth. The “other side” being industrialized food producers, huge corporate powers who run the massive meat and dairy industries, and pharmaceutical corporations who are making billions on Americans chronically sick with food-related illnesses.

FRENEMIES OF THE STATE Fellow progressives Mark Stone (left) and Bill Monning were on opposite sides of the vote over California’s cap-and-trade extension.

Weird politics of eco-bill puts progressives Bill Monning and Mark Stone in rare opposition BY GEORGIA JOHNSON

‘

T

his is the most important vote of your life,” Governor Jerry Brown told lawmakers at the Senate Environmental Quality Committee hearing last month.

“Maybe not of my life—I’ll be dead in five or 10 years.”

Shortly after, the cap-and-trade extension bill (AB 398) that Brown had pushed for so long passed with a twothirds majority vote in both houses.

The cap-and-trade bill of 2013, though groundbreaking at the time, was riddled with loopholes, and did little to further its stated purpose of reducing emissions in California. The new law requires

companies to purchase permits to release greenhouse gas emissions, a financial incentive to pollute less while driving revenue to fund state projects like affordable housing and the bullet train project. It also allows larger companies to purchase pollution allotments.

As a continuation of a pioneering bill, it’s a big step forward for environmental protection, and flanked by both Republican and Democrats, Brown celebrated its passage. But for a few assemblymembers, AB 398 marked a pyrrhic victory.

“I was hoping that we would get it done better, in a stronger deal

that was better for the environment without so many giveaways to the oil companies,” Assemblymember Mark Stone says. “I didn’t think it would pass that easily.”

Given the way that Brown described the stakes, it may sound surprising that Stone—a staunch environmentalist, who’s introduced bills to improve the California Coastal Commission’s transparency and ban cigarette filters—would vote against his own party on climate change. But the cap-and-trade bill has upended the political climate of the state, and the contention surrounding the bill is reflective of the ultraprogressive nature of the >12

Danny Keith will not forget the half-dozen close calls he had with coyotes and deer as his car snaked down the mountains after Valencia Road closed. For seven-andhalf months, he and at least a thousand neighbors in Aptos used a windy, rural detour to go home after winter storms wiped out his normal route.

“It was usually at dusk. The road just wasn't built to handle a thousand cars going up it everyday,” Keith says. “The back-country blind turns weren't always predictable.”

Valencia, an arterial road of Aptos, opened this month after a culvert collapsed last winter, forcing several hundred families to use an indirect route for errands and school.

While the neighborhood celebrated a temporary bridge opening on Monday, Aug. 7, the county expects full repairs from last year's storms to take years.

“We were the worst hit county in California,” says Public Works Director John Presleigh. “We've seen bad years before, in '95 and '82. But this was particularly bad.”

Closures impacted an incredible number of roads at one time, with storms causing major and repeated impacts on thoroughfares like Soquel San Jose Road and Highways 7, 9, 35 and 152. A major sinkhole on Nelson Road was fixed— temporarily, at least—by Public Works tying two flatbed railroad cars together.

The damage will cost $129 million across 320 locations, paid for with the help of federal funds. Public Works created an internal Recovery Unit that aims to fix 90 percent of the torn-up infrastructure within five years. Monterey County was hit with $60 million worth of damages.

The Valencia project alone cost $4 million. Like other repairs, the county has applied for federal disaster aid to fund them, expecting to pay at least $25 million of the total itself over five years.

Presleigh's office is hiring five new design consultants on top of the county's four project designers. Nearly all of the county's paperwork for the repairs >15

central coast. The bill has come under fire from some progressives for not outright restricting greenhouse gas emissions. While Republican Senator Tom Berryhill and Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia were in favor of AB 398, Stone, along with mostly conservative Democrats and Republican lawmakers, voted against it—putting him in unexpected company among his fellow lawmakers, although for different reasons.

“California has been leading the country and, really the world, in climate policy, and this is definitely part of that strategy to continue the conversations,” Stone allows.

But in his opinion, the bill was pushed too quickly. “I think that’s why there was some desperation around this passing—to show that California is still leading the way.

That’s fine, but at what cost?”

Stone says he had thought that more Democrats would have similar reservations, allowing more time to refine the bill.

A cornerstone of the discussion around cap and trade is State

Senator Bill Monning, who has long supported cap-and-trade extension and its economic opportunities.

As veteran liberal Democrats representing the interests of Santa Cruz County, Monning and Stone rarely disagree on bills. Though both acknowledge that there is always more to be done, they differ on how much should be done now.

“Many of these cap-and-trade bills historically have been the result of negotiation and compromise, and this is no different,” Monning says. “What is significant about the extension through 2030 is that it brings predictability to the energy market, and will continue to have California lead the nation in terms of the development of renewable energy.”

Though the renewal was passed in late July, the cap-and-trade program isn’t new. The Global Warming Act of 2006 authorized the California Air Resources Board to implement a market-based system of greenhouse gas reduction. In 2013, the board introduced the multi-sector capand-trade agreement seen today.

The current bill extends the expiration date to 2030 with the goal of ensuring that greenhouse

emissions are reduced to 40 percent below 1990 levels.

“The question is would we be better off if we had failed to pass this extension with no targets for reduction of CO2 emissions, and no requirements on polluting industries,” Monning says.

Furthermore, he says, “we use cap and trade revenues to invest in marginalized communities and lowincome communities.”

The bill was a result of weeks of meetings, intense negotiations, concessions, and acquisitions. To sweeten an otherwise bitter pill for Republican voters, Brown added the suspension of fire prevention fees, which will provide some fiscal relief for rural property owners. To appease Democrats, he added an air quality measure (AB 617) and housing benefits to support lowincome families.

If the bill had not passed, the cap-and-trade laws weren’t going to expire immediately. “If it weren’t for the promises on housing, there would have been some other Democrats really concerned about what this deal meant,” Stone says. “Sometimes having a >17

NEWS BRIEFS STAYING POWER The Broadway Hyatt Place is barreling toward its opening, with landscapers and construction workers laboring early and late, and even putting in weekend hours. But judging from the recent mob of pickup trucks, vans and forklifts out front, one can’t help but wonder if the grand opening, set for Friday, Sep. 1 is cutting it a little close.

It is not hard to understand why the developers might want to open Labor Day weekend, after all the time and dollars they’ve poured into the project.

The Santa Cruz City Council first approved the hotel six years ago, partly in hopes that it might help clean up the Lower Ocean neighborhood. And

after an exhaustive planning process, hotelier Tejal Sood came back to the City Council three years later, in 2014, to get a design modification approved.

Construction on the relatively high-end, 106-room Hyatt first began two and a half years ago.

Sood and another representative from the Bayside Hotel Group, which is opening the new Hyatt, could not be reached for comment. And when GT stopped by the site, Sood—busy going over measurements with contractors—said she couldn’t talk.

Christina Glynn, communications director for Visit Santa Cruz County, says the project is on schedule, though. “They’ve pushed back

the opening a couple of times,” Glynn says. “I think they really want to make sure they have everything in place.”

A hotel rep had posted a hiring notice July 1, saying they hoped to have the hotel open in August.

During the 2016 local elections, the Hyatt became a popular target, with some politicos criticizing it as a missed opportunity to build affordable housing—an understandable gripe, but one that comes with the benefit of hindsight. Some neighbors did have grave concerns about the Hyatt before its approval in 2011, but apprehension about the housing crisis was apparently secondary to the notions that the city needed to add higher-

end hotel rooms and somehow clean up Ocean and Broadway, which had a larger prostitution presence back then.

Going forward, those who think Santa Cruz already has enough hotels are in for a surprise. A Marriott has begun construction near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and the City Council approved two more hotels in June.

Even with the rise of Airbnb, which has cut into hotel profits nationwide, the best metrics available show steady demand for hotels in Santa Cruz, Glynn says, with occupancy rates, with Santa Cruz hovering around 80 percent the past three summers and above two thirds year-round.

OPEN ARMS Santa Cruz County Public Works Director John Presleigh speaks at the Aug. 7 opening of a temporary Valencia Road bridge in Aptos.

STORMS’ WAKE <11

California's Office of Emergency Services.

Presleigh said the county was “starved for resources” before SB 1 and Measure D passed, and intended to use the funds for county road resurfacing. Now, it's stuck doing storm repair again.

“We still want to do a progressive pavement plan,” Presleigh said. “But we're going to have to get creative on spending money.”

At a supervisors’ meeting this month, Leopold asked Presleigh to report back in October on if the county could reduce its overhead costs to leverage more federal money.

“If you look at that report, the local match was something like $18.5 million— and there was a magic asterisk next to it that said, 'Depending on overhead cost.’ We need to reduce those so we can get projects up and going as quickly as possible,” Leopold said.

Presleigh says that may be possible, given the large number of projects; the percentage could drop from 12.5 to 10 percent or so. His

department will present more information to the supes in September.

Meanwhile, Rolling Greens, the community affected by the Valencia closure, has become closer because of the storms, Keith said. Many joined the social network Nextdoor and offered to pick up supplies in town. A yard sale is planned on Aug. 27 to bring people into the neighborhood, and some community members revived an inactive neighborhood improvement association.

Lisa Woolnick, whose son was in sixth grade at Valencia when the storms closed the school, was elected president of the association in their aftermath. She's helping plan a community party later this month, with elected officials and Public Works staff invited.

“My kid always walked to school. We had no way to get there, so we formed carpools,” Woolnick said. “Through this, we've become stronger.”

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | AUGUST 23-29, 2017

is in, Presleigh says, with action pending from federal and state agencies.

Some Valencia Road residents have complained about the delays. Presleigh says the repair bypassed standard Caltrans protocols after a concerted effort to install the temporary fix.

Presleigh lobbied for quicker Caltrans approval in Sacramento, since the state agency is allowed to do emergency openings, while Rep. Jimmy Panetta and Rep. Anna Eshoo spoke with the Federal Highway Administration on the federal level.

But it was a group of schoolkids who helped moved the needle. They were cut off from Valencia Elementary School, and were sent to Mar Vista Elementary School, Cabrillo College, Aptos High School and Rolling Hills Middle School instead.

“I think Caltrans woke up when they got letters from the kids,” Presleigh says,

adding that Supervisors Zach Friend, Bruce McPherson and John Leopold also assisted.

Meanwhile, major arteries like Soquel Drive going into Aptos Village, and dozens of smaller rural roads, are in need of repair.

Construction has started on just 9 percent of the 98 Federal Highway Administration projects and 15 percent of FEMA projects.

The completion rate is about half that.

There are two types of roads the county is working on: big, arterial roads that Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration can assist with, and smaller residential roads in the mountains, which are local roads with repairs potentially funded through California's Office of Emergency Services and FEMA. Public Works is coordinating with those agencies to determine which should be fixed first. Measure D is being used to cover the county's portion of the smaller, FEMA road costs. Other costs are being covered by the Federal Highway Administration and

little bit more time to understand implications would be helpful.”

But Brown urgently pushed for the bill to pass to renew California’s commitment to environmentalism, and possibly to re-establish the state as an environmental protection powerhouse, given the nature of the current federal administration.

President Trump announced in June that the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, and his administration has quietly rolled back numerous other environmental protections.

“If we had failed in passing this, we would have been back to square one and we would have been no different than the current administration in Washington D.C. in refusing to acknowledge climate change, and refusing to take any action to protect our planet,” Monning says.

Alternatives to the cap-andtrade measure include a carbon tax, which taxes fossil fuels to incentivize emission reductions; some environmentalists say it is a better option because it is much more strict on companies, and taxes all pollution, rather than just that emitted after a company has reached its “cap.”

“If California sets the caps low enough, [cap and trade] can still be a help to the environment as far as air pollution, but a carbon tax would be vastly more effective since there is a cost for every ton of pollution emitted, not just after a cap is reached,” says Cabrillo College Astronomy Chair Richard Nolthenius. “A carbon tax, which rebates the money to the citizens, would then incentivize citizens to spend on less carbon-intensive power and goods, as it should be.”

Nolthenius would like to see the cap-and-trade measure repealed, though he doubts it is likely.

“In the end, civilization will have to decide if it wants economic growth, or if it wants a global climate compatible with the civilization and species alive today,” Nolthenius says. “Growing evidence is that it cannot have both.”

GARY GRIGGS’ NEW BOOK ‘COASTS IN CRISIS’ EXPOSES THE FRAGILE STATE OF THE EARTH’S COASTS, AND WHY THEIR FUTURE DEPENDS ON US BY MARIA GRUSAUSKAS

early half of the humans on this sweet planet— three billion and rising— live in Earth’s coastal zones. But increasing coastal development—between 2000 and 2010, new building permits were issued at a rate of 1,355 per day in shoreline counties across the U.S.— is setting the stage for a precarious future. Indeed, we’ve already begun to see its impact.

That’s why the new book by UCSC earth sciences professor Gary Griggs, Coasts in Crisis: A Global Challenge, couldn’t come at a more crucial time. As the Trump Administration actively dismantles every hard-won environmental protection it can get its hands on, and the call-to-action climatechange documentary An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power plays in theaters across the country, Griggs’

book—which hits stores Aug. 30—sharpens its focus on the most vulnerable regions of all.

“With about 150 million living within just three feet of high tide, and hundreds of millions more within a few more feet, future sea-level rise may be the greatest challenge human civilization has ever faced,” writes Griggs.

Drawing on an impressive body of scientific research, Coasts in Crisis

graduate school in oceanography at Oregon State, my three years there were focused on deep-sea research and not surfing. So in the fall of 1968 I headed out to Pleasure Point and quickly discovered that the water smelled like sewage. Turns out that place was locally known as “Sewer Peak” and it was the East Cliff outfall that discharged just 200 feet offshore in about five feet of water. That experience and the first environmental studies class I taught a year later, which produced a report on the area’s environmental problems, made me aware of the issues our coast faced even a half a century ago.

species, renewable energy, desalination, and so much more— make up the brunt of his thorough, 352-page analysis.

In a preview of Griggs’ upcoming talk at Bookshop Santa Cruz on Wednesday, Sept. 13, GT grilled him on the current state of the coasts and a future that depends on us.

Did you have an ‘aha’ moment in which you realized that our

coasts were in a much more dire situation than you had ever thought?

GARY GRIGGS: I arrived in Santa Cruz 50 years ago as a young Assistant Professor at the newly opened UC Santa Cruz campus and immediately started exploring the coast, mostly the north coast, looking for places to take class field trips. While it was surfing at UCSB as an undergraduate that led me to

dips into geological and human history to trace our trajectory to today’s coastal megacities and beyond. His engrossing, multidimensional approach results in a global perspective of the dangers and dilemmas facing our coasts. Natural processes and hazards get full coverage, but the human components—including pollution and plastic debris, ocean acidification, aquatic invasive

If there is one thing that climate-change deniers can’t deny, it’s the scientific tracking of Earth’s melting ice caps. Along with the massive chunks of ice falling into the sea—including last month’s Antarctica iceberg, Larsen C, which you reported was the size of Santa Cruz, San Mateo, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties combined, can you share any figures for the current rate of ice melt?

There are three main areas where the planet’s ice is stored, and it is primarily the melting of that ice that is raising sea level, along with a warming ocean, leading to thermal expansion of water. The mountain glaciers, or those in Alaska, the Andes, Alps, Patagonia and Himalayas, where we most often see the photographs of retreat and melting, actually are quite small in volume. If they were all to melt, which they are gradually doing, they would produce a total global sea-level rise of a little less than two feet. That’s not trivial if you live within two feet of high tide.

The big volumes are in Greenland, which has enough ice to raise sea level around the planet about 24 feet—clearly a big problem for nearly 750,000,000 people or 10 percent of the planet’s people that live within 24 feet of sea level. The elephant in the room, however, is Antarctica, which holds 61 percent of all fresh water on the planet

No climate scientist believes that will happen this century or next, but we are slowly moving in that direction, and we don’t need all of the ice to melt—a few feet of sea level rise will create major problems in shoreline cities around the world.

Right now our best projections are for about three feet of rise by 2100.

You note that until about a century ago, global sea levels were fairly stable, rising only about .04 inches per year, or four inches per century. What is the rate at now?

The present rate of global sea-level rise as measured precisely from satellites over the past 24 years is a little more than 13 inches per 100 years, or over three times as fast as the past century. All indications are, however, that this rates is going to continue to increase.

Perhaps part of the problem, as far as public awareness is concerned, is that 13 inches per 100 years and accelerating doesn’t sound so scary. Can you explain what this type of sea-level rise looks like for low-lying places?

Our best projections at present of global sea-level rise for the year 2100 are about three feet above the 2000 level. Today around the world, there are about 150 million people living within three feet of high tide in places like Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, as well as New Orleans and parts of the Atlantic coast of the U.S. The impact of three feet of additional sea level on a low-lying area like downtown Capitola, which has been inundated a number of times by high tides and storm waves, is not trivial. Adding an additional foot or two of sea level makes a huge difference for any low-lying coastal community or city and the frequency of flooding.

<20 would have a big impact on our Main Beach. The runways of the San Francisco International airport begin to go underwater with just 16 inches of sea level above present-day high tide.

We’ve already seen destructive storms wreak unprecedented havoc on coastal cities in recent years, like 2013’s Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 6,000 thousand people in the Philippines and displaced tens of thousands more. Why are these storms occurring, and do you think we are just seeing the beginning of a dangerous trend?

The number of natural disasters from floods, storms, drought and heat waves during the first decade of the 21st century has been nearly five times as high as during the 1970s— and these are all weather-related events, which are influenced by climate change.

Directly contradicting President Trump, a new draft report produced by 13 federal agencies concludes that the United States is already feeling the negative impacts of climate change. A warming Earth means longer and more frequent droughts and heat waves, and warmer water that leads to both greater evaporation and subsequently increased rainfall and flooding, and likely more energy for hurricanes, typhoons and other tropical storms.

While it is difficult to blame every additional climate-related disaster on global climate change, the patterns and trends are becoming increasingly clear that conditions are changing and there are major impacts on the planet’s human population as a result.

In recent interviews, Al Gore mentioned visiting Miami and seeing fish swimming up out of storm drains during high tide—a frequent occurrence there now. You also address Miami in your book, saying it continues to build higher and higher, “as if trying to outpace the increasing rate

of sea-level rise.” Not to pick on Miami, but it seems to be making an example of itself.

In 2016, you write that Miami to West Palm Beach built 417 new condominium towers (with over 50,000 individual units)—and not one of them took sea-level rise into account.

The Miami-West Palm BeachFort Lauderdale area is already experiencing regular “tidal flooding” although the governor for some odd reason has apparently forbidden state employees from using the words “sea-level rise.” It is one of the United States’ most vulnerable areas to additional sea-level rise, which is inevitable. The challenges the Miami area faces are a result of being built essentially at sea level and being on limestone, which is like Swiss cheese so it dissolves, leaving caves and sinkholes that provide easy access to seawater, no matter how high walls are built.

While the city is spending millions of dollars trying to pump water out of the city, they can’t hold back the entire Atlantic Ocean. Denial is not the name of a river in Egypt.

Where do Santa Cruz and San Francisco sit in terms of vulnerability to sea-level rise and population crowding?

The city of Santa Cruz has a population of about 60,000 in contrast to the city/county of San Francisco, with 871,000. The most vulnerable areas of Santa Cruz from both short-term incidents of elevated sea levels such as El Niños, king tides and high tides with large storm waves, are primarily the West Cliff Drive, Main Beach and Boardwalk areas, as well as the Santa Cruz Harbor, which have all been impacted in the past. The longer-term rise in sea level will probably not begin to have serious impacts for several more decades, but this will also begin to affect the downtown area and sewage treatment plant where higher sea levels will move up the San Lorenzo River Channel and raise the water table beneath downtown.

been an issue for years. The Capitola Esplanade and the areas between Pot Belly Beach and Rio Del Mar are also areas where development has occurred either at very low elevations or on the beach, and will feel the impacts of a rising ocean more often, particularly if the storm climate intensifies. The Embarcadero in San Francisco as well as Sausalito are already exposed to high water at extreme tides today and these problems will only get worse in the future.

Under the Trump Administration, 11 national marine sanctuaries and monuments—totaling an area of 425 million acres of beaches, coral reefs and marine life habitat—could lose protections under a new plan to expand offshore oil and gas drilling. What sort of risks and impacts would this pose?

Fortunately oil and gas require a certain set of conditions to form; it just doesn’t occur everywhere or we might find oil wells in everyone’s backyards. In addition, the state owns the first three miles offshore so the Trump administration has no control of these areas. There

were some federal oil lease sales off of Central California back in the 1960s but prospects at the time ended up being poor so leases were abandoned. There are many offshore areas that the oil companies aren’t really interested in simply because the probabilities of finding large amounts of oil are very low and the investments to drill and develop oil fields are very high. A single large offshore platform may cost $250 million to $1 billion. With crude oil prices now just under $50/barrel (a barrel is 42 gallons), there are also many offshore areas where it simply isn’t economical to drill for oil, despite what Donald Trump may dream is out there.

Two areas of highest risk today are the Arctic, where the efforts so far have been met with serious environmental conditions, and very deep water, such as offshore Gulf of Mexico where drilling is taking place in 5,000 to 10,000 feet of water. Explosions, fires, and blowouts, such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010 when 11 crew members died and about 4.9 million barrels of oil ended up in the Gulf, are some of the hazards and potential impacts.

I believe we are at a critical point, and increasing global temperatures from greenhouse gas emissions is the major driving force. The signs surround us: longer droughts and failed crops, retreating glaciers and melting snowpacks, sea-level rise and coastal retreat, more frequent and severe climate-related natural disasters. If anyone wonders if there is a coming water crisis, ask a farmer. Coasts are at a crisis point because of both the increase in natural disasters and hazards that affect the coastal zone, but also the hundreds of millions of people that continue to move to coastal cities with all of their ocean impacts.

While the U.S. under this President has turned back the clock on virtually every effort that had been made to try to bring climate change under control, California, in large part due to Governor Brown, is way out in front and leading a nationally and internationally recognized effort to do the right thing.

There is a Terence McKenna concept for saving the world (which he attributes, actually, to the magic mushroom). That solution is that no woman should have more than one natural child. Do you think that our current trajectory requires a radical reversal or decrease in population?

Paul Ehrlich and his wife [Anne, who was uncredited] wrote The Population Bomb 50 years ago (1968) and described in detail how quickly global populations were increasing and the coming problems of mass starvation due to inadequate food supplies. I recall a nationwide organization with an active Santa Cruz group, called ZPG, for Zero Population Growth. A number of things happened in subsequent years with miracle crops increasing yields, etc., as well as push back from various religious groups ... and a whole series of other environmental issues took the front page. Yet

today, the world population stands at 7.5 billion, having doubled since I arrived at UCSC in 1968. China and India constitute 36 percent of the total. There is simply no way the planet can support the present population at anything close to the standard of living we enjoy in the U.S. It would take four Earths to provide that standard of living.

Instead, the planet gains 225,000 people every day, equivalent to 900 jumbo jets each delivering 250 people. 850,000,000 people across the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition and 21,000 of these, mostly children, die every day. The Earth also has a serious problem with access to safe drinking water and sanitation, with more people having cell phones than toilets. A child dies every 90 seconds because of lack of access to clean water and sanitation. The Earth simply doesn’t have the resources to support the present population with adequate food, water and sanitation.

Each of your chapters end with a section intended to encourage people to act to restore, preserve and protect our vital coastal environments. What are the most important individual and collective actions we can take?

I often am asked “What can we do?”

My first response has always until now been “VOTE.” Well, that didn’t work nationally, but it still makes a big difference closer to home. Our local and state representatives have huge impacts on coastal issues.

There are also many opportunities to get involved with organizations or facilities who work on public education and coastal or ocean conservation: the Seymour Marine Discovery Center and Sanctuary Exploration Center, Save Our Shores, Surfriders, and many others who are working to improve our coastal environment through public education and advocacy.

Gary Griggs will discuss 'Coasts in Crisis: A Global Challenge' at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 13 at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Free.

Measures for ‘Measure’

26

Five steps Tyne Rafaeli and her cast and crew took to turn one of Shakespeare’s most impossible plays into an SCS triumph BY STEVE PALOPOLI

M

easure for Measure is known as one of Shakespeare’s four “problem plays” for a reason—it has a lot of them. It’s a comedy that doesn’t know if it wants to be funny, a morality tale with a

HOT TICKET

maddeningly ambiguous villain, and a story driven by what is possibly the playwright’s worst “hidden identity” gimmick.

What it also has is the potential to be one of Shakespeare’s most powerful statements on politics and

the nature of power. But you likely wouldn’t know that unless you saw director Tyne Rafaeli’s production of Measure for Measure this summer at Santa Cruz Shakespeare. I certainly didn’t, after having seen a handful of well-intentioned but

disappointing takes on the play in the past. The question is: how did she do it? And in speaking to Rafaeli about how SCS’ triumphant success with Measure for Measure came to be, I discovered the answers were often surprising. For those who

Duke, Duke, Duke of Bagelry, Duke, Duke … P46

THEATER were as curious as I was about how a Shakespearean problem child can be rehabilitated, I’ve broken down what I think are five key decisions

by Rafaeli that made this production work so perfectly, and what she told me about them.

1. NO LAZY ‘SATIRE’

Rafaeli felt the play about a Duke (played by Rowan Vickers) who goes undercover among his people had a lot to say to contemporary audiences about power and government. But, thankfully, she made a point of not trying to turn the play’s villain, Angelo (played by David Graham Jones) into Donald Trump: “I did want to avoid a direct reference to our current leader. There is a place for that kind of direct satire. But I felt like I would have to manipulate the play so much to fit into that time and place that the play would be lost.”

2. COMEDY: LESS EQUALS MORE

3. MAKING THE VILLAIN TRAGIC

Angelo is one of Shakespeare’s most difficult characters; he can be played a number of ways, including as a sniveling hypocrite or mustachetwirling arch-villain. Rafaeli wanted to bring out his tragic qualities, as power and lust corrupt him: “There’s this deep humanity at the center of the play, because we could all be Angelo. I was very lucky with the actor that we had, because he’s such a smart and understated and good person that I was really happy to start from that place to build this person who does this terrible

thing. As much as you're experiencing the hope in it, there's also the other sense that we could all fall under a particular set of circumstances.”

4. A YOUTH MOVEMENT Most often, the Duke is played as an older ruler; Rafaeli’s casting of a young Duke gave the play a new energy and hope: “It sounds so simplistic and crazy, but what I keep remembering is we’re still in the process of figuring out how to live—what the best way is to live with each other. Like this whole conversation about statues and about what we do with our history.

And the Duke is really our guide through this. He’s trying to figure out how to rule. I think that’s very compelling. I wish I could say this was intentional, but it wasn’t—Rowan Deckard, who plays the Duke, came into the casting process kind of late in the game. And he’s so good. The Duke is also, every time I’ve seen it, played by someone twice his age. And I think there was something about having a young Duke that really helped crack the piece open. It helped re-frame it somehow in a way that was really powerful.”

5. A NEW INTERPRETATION FOR A TROUBLED ENDING The ending of Measure for Measure is downright bizarre, with the Duke proposing to Isabella (played

by Lindsey Rico) out of the blue.

Rafaeli and company asked some hard questions, and re-interpreted a key line, with Isabella—who has proved her integrity and virtue throughout—assuming the throne at the end in a powerful reading of the enignmatic scene: “The ending, I kind of took the scary road, which was that we were going to have to really find our version of it. But we created the ending as a company ... As we were starting to track their relationship, we could not find romantic love in it. We could find deep admiration, and deep respect. That was the thing we were investigating in their relationship, and it just revealed itself that “what’s yours is mine, and mine is yours,” which is his line at the end, was not about romantic love, it was about the throne.”

One of the reasons Measure for Measure is known as a “problem play” is that the tone careens wildly between comedy and serious drama.

Rafaeli was able to find a cast that could handle such shifts, but she knew that wouldn’t matter unless she cut out the jokes that no longer work—or perhaps never did: “I wanted to avoid pretending it was funny in places that it just was not. That’s what I’ve definitely seen other productions do … I knew [the comedy] had to be on the dangerous, subversive side. That is a political humor, a humor that is often activated when people are under extreme danger or under extreme pressure. That was the kind of humor I wanted.”

After years of other projects, Mother Hips co-founder Greg Loiacono gets personal with solo album BY CAT JOHNSON

G

reg Loiacono recently found himself in front of a sea of more than 20,000 people at San Francisco’s Conservatory of Flowers, singing the Scott McKenzie song “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair).” The occasion was a star-studded concert—featuring Country Joe McDonald, the Chambers Brothers, Jack Casady from Jefferson Airplane and more— to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. Loiacono, who was born in San Francisco and raised in Marin County, is too young to remember San Francisco’s hippie heyday—his childhood memories

are of riding in his mom’s Cordova listening to Donna Summer—but the music of the era left a lasting impression on him.

“I was never much into the Grateful Dead in high school. I was more into Dead Kennedys, and Zeppelin and Hendrix,” he says. “But Janis Joplin and the Dead definitely had an influence on my musical direction growing up. They were all my dads and moms of music—that was the music in the backyard: Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape, New Riders, Jefferson Airplane. What an amazing chunk of musical history.”

When Loiacono co-founded the Bay Area rock band the Mother

Hips with Tim Bluhm, they drew inspiration in part from the San Francisco sound, but mostly from Southern California acts like the Beach Boys and Buffalo Springfield.

The West Coast hybrid formula worked, and the Mother Hips established itself as a beloved part of the indie and rock scenes in California and beyond.

While he has recorded several solo projects over the years—including an EP of home recordings he describes as “very low-brow,” as he burned the CDs and photocopied the covers himself, as well as an album titled Listen to My Shapes, under the band name the Sensations—last year’s Songs From a

Golden Dream is the first full-length Loiacono has released under his own name. The record is a collection of old and new songs that provide a deeper glimpse into his experiences.

“The songs are closer to my actual personal life than my output in the Mother Hips,” he says. “That was always from a different viewpoint.

It’s a working band, and I’m on the road or in the studio and hanging out with those guys and thinking about it in those terms.”

A recurring theme on the album is the red thread, which Chinese mythology says is tied by the gods around the ankles of those who are destined to meet or help one another. Loiacono wove that idea of connection through the album, and says the songs are also connected because they were written over a 10-year period of time. The last song on the album is “The Red Thread Part III (The Day’s Long Wind),” a lullaby Loiacono wrote for his daughter when she was three years old.

Whether he’s writing for the Mother Hips or one of his solo projects, Loiacono’s songwriting process is the same. The recording process for a solo album, however, is very different.

“When you're in a band, it’s more of a democracy,” he says. “Whoever brings the song in will have a little more control and say, because it’s their song. But you’re in a band.

You want it to sound like it, and be created by those people.”

For Songs From a Golden Dream, which was recorded at Allegiance Studios by David Simon Baker, Loiacono had a clear vision of how he wanted everything to sound. The other musicians, including Scott Thunes on bass, Todd Roper on drums and Alex Koford on backing vocals, guitar and percussion, had “input here and there,” but their job was to bring Loiacono’s vision to life.

The experience allowed Loiacono to make his own unique contribution to San Francisco’s rich musical history.

“When the album was in the studio,” says Loiacono, “I just needed people to play it. A lot of that stuff was already written, and it was exactly how I wanted it to be.”

Greg Loiacono will perform at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26 at the Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $15. 4296994. Lee Bob & the Truth opens.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND GROOVITY

If the members of Groovity had listened to their friends, the name of their band would be “Shit Honey.” In 2012, the members—already buddies—started playing music just for kicks, not expecting it to get serious. When it seemed like they might have something worthy of bringing to venues, they launched an impressive campaign for name suggestions.

“We had two unsuccessful name-theband house parties. After we read all the responses, we still weren’t happy. We very quickly came up with a name a month after that,” says drummer Mike Grall.

AUGUST 23-29, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

The name they chose, Groovity, came from an in-band discussion of how they could alter the word “groove.” It was fitting because the band’s number-one objective was to get people dancing.

36

Unlike many dance bands who cover funk and soul classics, the members of Groovity wanted to take all the classic rock songs that people of their generation grew up with and loved, and increase the danceability factors.

“People’s sensibilities about what is worthy of dancing has improved greatly since we were kids. People are more sophisticated,” says bassist Ken Mowrey.

They’ve created some interesting mashups to funk-ify classic rock songs, like mixing a Stephen Stills song with some Aretha Franklin, or mashing up Linda Ronstadt’s “You’re No Good” with Michael Jackson’s “Bad.” (“Not only does it sound frickin’ awesome, but the lyrical content also plays off each other,” says singer Veda Ozelle.) AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25. Crow’s Nest, 2218 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz. $6. 476-4560.

WEDNESDAY 8/23 ROOTS

SUITCASE JUNKET Any musician these days can be a oneman act so long as they have an iPod and a microphone. But for Matt Lorenz, the sole member of Suitcase Junket, that approach would destroy the whole vibe of what he’s trying to create. He sits in a chair with a tattered guitar, an old-timey microphone, and a modified drum. There’s a bit of Americana from every corner of the country mixed in (blues, honky tonk, swamprock), and somehow, he gives it the life of a full band. AARON CARNES INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $10. 429-6994.

THURSDAY 8/24 BLUES

GUITARSONISTS Asbestos clothing is highly recommended for this performance, as the Guitarsonists—Chris Cain, Mighty Mike Schermer and Daniel Castro— bring together a triumphant triumvirate of blues guitarslingers known for sparking some outrageously searing

conflagrations. The three bandleaders truly meld their talents, backing each other with wicked rhythm work while tearing through tunes designed specifically for an incendiary three-guitar front line. ANDREW GILBERT INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $22/adv, $27/door. 427-2227.

AFROBEAT / REGGAE

REX SURU An Afro-roots reggae 12-piece out of Lagos, Nigeria, Rex Suru and Cherubim Vibes blends ska, reggae, Afrobeat and West African styles into a potent musical concoction that has been described as “pulsating, moving, magnetic and unifying.” The band, led by Oakland-based artist Rex Suru, has built a diverse, cross-cultural fanbase of music lovers, social justice warriors and seekers. On Monday, the party hits Moe’s. CJ INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $7/adv, $10/door. 479-1854.

FRIDAY 8/25 PUNK

AGENT ORANGE There’s a shirt you can buy online that

says, “Old punks never die. We just stand in the back.” This may be true to some extent, but if you go to an Agent Orange show, you will see plenty of old punks doing a whole lot more than just standing in the back. These Southern California surf-punk rockers have been tearing up stages since 1979, and I shudder to think how old lead singer/ guitarist Mike Palm is. Still, this isn’t “stand in the back” music, old punks or otherwise. AC INFO: 9 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $12/adv, $15/door. 429-4135.

SATURDAY 8/26 ROCK

BEGGAR KINGS Comprising an all-star group of artists who have performed with the Doobie Brothers, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Gregg Allman and others, the Beggar Kings are back for the third annual “Rockin’ Romp at the Rio.” This year the band takes on the Golden Age of music from the Rolling Stones—that era from the late-’60s into the early-’70s that produced epic tracks like “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Brown Sugar,”

JAZZ

JOHN PIZZARELLI A propulsively swinging guitarist and rhythmically assured vocalist with a pleasingly smooth sound, John Pizzarelli has recorded albums celebrating the music of Nat “King” Cole, the Beatles, Johnny Mercer, Frank Sinatra and bossa nova, among other iconic sources. His latest project, Sinatra & Jobim @ 50, marks the golden anniversary of Sinatra’s classic encounter with bossa patriarch Antonio Carlos Jobim, a breathtaking collaboration that stands with the finest work of both prolific artists.

He’s joined by a stellar six-piece

INFO: 7 p.m. Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $32/adv, $37/door. 427-2227.

SUNDAY 8/27 BLUES

NICK SCHNEBELEN BAND Nick Schnebelen is a relatively young name in blues. (OK, he’s 38—but that’s young for the blues!)

His eponymous band is also new on the scene. But Schnebelen has been playing the blues professionally for 20-some years. Fans may remember a young Schnebelen playing guitar in Trampled Under Foot, a primarily blues-oriented band with elements of rock and soul in the mix. Before that, Schnebelen watched his musician father, Bob, play the blues in local Kansas City bands. Now leading his own band, he gets down and dirty with a much rawer blues

sound than Trampled Under Foot. AC INFO: 4 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $9/adv, $12/door. 479-1854.

MONDAY 8/28 INDIE

HERE WE GO MAGIC If you watch Here We Go Magic’s eccentric video for “How Do I Know,” you’ll notice many mentions of John Waters in the comment section. Despite the strange premise of the video (a man trying to dispose of his dancing robot), Waters had nothing to do with the video, and isn’t in it. However, he did write about the group in his book Carsick, a memoir about his hitchhiking exploits. He apparently caught a ride from the band. I like to think it was serendipitous, especially after watching “How Do I Know” and its bizarro Americana aesthetic that brings to mind Napoleon Dynamite mixed with Frank. The music is upbeat, poppy, and twisted in subtly unsettling ways.

Perfect for fans of Waters. AC INFO: 8 p.m. Don Quixote’s, 6275 Hwy. 9, Felton. $15. 335-2800.

INFO: 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9. Santa Cruz Mission Adobe State Historic Park, 144 School St., Santa Cruz.

FILM

TRACKING THE WIND Elizabeth Olsen plays an FBI agent trying to solve a murder on Shoshone and Arapaho land in ‘Wind River.’

Frontier of Justice AUGUST 23-29, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Crime and consequences in stark ‘Wind River’ BY LISA JENSEN

42

V

iolent crime is a staple of action movies; we’re all so inured to violence onscreen, it’s usually just another plot point toward solving the mystery. So it’s rare to find the consequences of violence—on the victims, their families and friends, and their community—portrayed with such somber eloquence as they are in Wind River. Thoughtful, infuriating, and heartbreaking, this searing, expertly told tale of crime and punishment on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming will leave you breathless.

This is only the second movie directed by Taylor Sheridan, an actor and scriptwriter best known for writing Sicario and last year's highly

lauded Hell Or High Water. As a director here, he combines swift and cogent storytelling with an impressive sense of visual composition. The icy mountain peaks, bone-freezing cold, daunting snowdrifts, and stark, empty landscapes of one of our nation’s most notoriously brutal and brutalizing Native American reservations all become characters in the drama.

Sheridan shows how the remoteness of the region—smack in the middle of Wyoming, on a parcel of land the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined—has an isolating effect on families who live there. Far removed from the three main highways that pass through the state, the residents stuck in the

cycle of hopelessness and poverty of reservation life risk moral isolation as well, from a society that has long since forgotten them.

At the center of the drama is Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner), a hunter and tracker of predatory animals. A loner by nature, Cory was married to an Arapaho woman (Julia Jones) with whom he is co-parenting their son. One day, up in the high country, while tracking a mountain lion that has been preying on local livestock, Cory finds the frozen body of a young woman.

Because the circumstances are suspicious, and the death occurred on federal land, the FBI sends out agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen).

Operating out of Las Vegas (she

was the closest agent the feds could find), Jane arrives with insufficient snow gear and an expectation that things will be done according to procedure—like calling for backup before entering a dangerous situation. As tribal police chief Ben (the always-great Graham Greene) calmly explains, "This is the land of ‘you’re on your own.’”

With his insider’s knowledge of both the community and the surrounding wilderness, Cory joins the investigation. Outsider though she is, Jane feels passionate outrage for young women already marginalized by their heritage and gender so easily preyed upon in a society of tough guys in trucks and snowmobiles.

Director Sheridan conveys the dynamics of reservation life as background, but this is primarily a suspense thriller told with skill and urgency as the characters gear up for the inevitable dispensing of frontier justice. It's a harrowing movie to watch, especially the flashback to the crime itself (although it might have been a little better integrated into the narrative).

But the resonance of Renner’s understated acting, moments of unexpected visual splendor, and mounting psychological intensity make it all irresistibly compelling.

Resonant too is the lyrical soundtrack of haunting melodies and soft, moaning vocals by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

Sheridan is scrupulous about casting actors of Native American blood to play Native roles. Tokala Clifford contributes a mesmerizing couple of scenes as a bad-news stoner at the outskirts of the community.

And Gil Birmingham has terrific presence as Martin, the victim’s father. (Painting on his “death face” to honor his daughter, he admits to old friend Cory, “I made it up. There’s no one left to teach us.”) A quiet scene when these two taciturn men share their grief is the emotional core of this sterling, satisfying film.

WIND RIVER ***1/2 (out of four) With Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, and Graham Greene. Written and directed by Taylor Sheridan. A Weinstein Co. release. Rated R. 107 minutes.

FILM NEW THIS WEEK BIRTH OF THE DRAGON The “whitewashing” controversies continue with this fictionalized story of a real event, when young Bruce Lee challenged Shaolin monk Wong Jack Man to a kung fu showdown in the Bay Area in the 1965. It’s not because they hired a non-Chinese actor to play Lee (he’s portrayed by Hong-Kong-born actor and action coordinator Philip Ng), but because for some reason the filmmakers inserted a made-up white character (Billy Magnussen) to be the catalyst for the fight. George Nolfi directs.

(PG-13) 103 minutes.

AUGUST 23-29, 2017 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

GOOD TIME Damn, this movie is just one letter away from being a documentary about Santa Cruz’s favorite newspaper. So close! What it is instead is an intense crime thriller from filmmakers Josh and Ben Safdie (makers of the wild Heaven Knows What). Constantine (Robert Pattinson) is so desperate to get his younger brother out of jail after a botched bank robbery that he’s willing to do whatever it takes over the course of one violent night. Directed by Josh and Ben Safdie. (R) 100 minutes.

INGRID GOES WEST Dark comedy about a social media stalker (Aubrey Plaza) who’s just like us! She confuses likes with approval, gets too wrapped up in other people’s posts … oh, and moves to L.A. to insert herself into the life of her celebrity obsession. NBD! Matt Spicer directs. Elizabeth Olsen co-stars. (R) 97 minutes.

LEAP! This animated musical adventure film is about an 11-yearold orphan who dreams of being a ballerina, and, against all odds, gets a chance to audition for the Paris Opera Ballet. It features the voice of Carly Rae Jepsen as a mysterious caretaker who helps her. Hey, you just read about this movie, and this is crazy. But your kid will like it, so see it maybe?

Eric Summer and Eric Warren direct.

Also featuring the voices of Elle Fanning, Kate McKinnon and Mel Brooks. (PG) 89 minutes.

THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEW YORK New film from the director of 500 Days of Summer has Callum

Turner as a college graudate who moves out of his parent’s house and befriends neighbor Jeff Bridges. Because, seriously, who in their right mind would not befriend Jeff Bridges if he was their neighbor? Also, the kid starts sleeping with his father’s mistress in an attempt to break up their relationship, which is not such a sure bet. Marc Webb directs. Pierce Brosnan and Kate Beckinsale costar. (R) 88 minutes.

and maintaining a poker face, obviously—but for an MI6 agent, Lorraine Broughton’s English accent really is terrible. And wow, wow, she’s bi too? Putting in that lesbian spy sex scene (gee, wonder what audience that was added for) must be a sign of progress, not a cheap tactic to ramp up the sex appeal in an otherwise completely prudish film ... David Leitch directs. Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman costar. (R) 115 minutes.

WHOSE STREETS Documentary about the killing of teenager Mike Brown, and the ensuing uprising in Ferguson, told by two filmmakers who lived through it in their community. Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis direct. (R) 90 minutes.

THE BIG SICK Kumail starts dating Emily and things are going great. Except, Kumail’s family is on a serious quest for Kumail’s future bride—a Pakistani Muslim like him, not a white American girl. With Holly Hunter and Ray Romano as Emily’s disapproving parents and the production genius of Judd Apatow, The Big Sick has been called “the most authentic romantic comedy in years.”

Michael Showalter directs. Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Hunter costar. (R) 119 minutes.

SPECIAL SCREENINGS: Parts one and two of National Theatre’s new adaptation of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, starring Nathan Lane and Andrew Garfield.

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

NOW PLAYING AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER Despair can be paralyzing. But Al Gore returns to the big screen to tell you that there is hope—and to get your ass in gear to fight for this planet. Bonni Cohen, Jon Shenk direct. Al Gore, Barack Obama, Donald J. Trump co-star. (PG) 98 minutes.

ANNABELLE: CREATION We get it, the Annabelle doll is creepy. But, seriously, how much more can they milk from the Conjuring franchise?

What’s that? A lot? Well, OK then!

Have at this prequel about who the hell would ever make a doll that looks like that. David F. Sandberg directs.

Anthony LaPaglia and Stephanie Sigman star. (R) 109 minutes.

ATOMIC BLONDE She’s an expert in escape and evasion—

THE DARK TOWER The tower is all that stands between light and darkness in this long-awaited Stephen King adaptation. Matthew McConaughey is the devil, only worse, but it’s OK because Idris Elba is a badass gunslinger who’ll save the world with the help of an unflappable little boy. Nikolaj Arcel directs. Katheryn Winnick, Elba, McConaughey co-star.

(PG-13) 95 minutes.

DUNKIRK They were so close to home, they could almost see it.

More than 340,000 soldiers on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, surrounded by the German army, with little left to expect but certain death. Probably a far-too-real depiction (it’s Christopher Nolan, after all) of how the “colossal military disaster” turned around with the help of merchant marine boats, fishing boats, lifeboats and everything inbetween. Nolan directs. Fionn Whitehead, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance co-star.

(PG-13) 106 minutes.

THE EMOJI MOVIE In the world of emojis, you’re given one emotion and one emotion only—or else. So for Gene, who

is multi-expressional, things get interesting when he’s got to find his source code and fix his glitch or be discarded for good. Tony Leondis directs. T.J. Miller, James Corden, Anna Faris co-star. (PG) 86 minutes.

THE GLASS CASTLE Woody Harrelson, having lost the war for the Planet of the Apes, retreats into the role of alcoholic father in this adaptation of Jeanette Walls’ memoir about how she overcame a brutally rough childhood to become a successful writer. Brie Larson Plays Walls. Naomi Watts and Sarah Snook co-star. Destin Daniel Cretton directs. (PG-13) 127 minutes.

THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD Pop quiz! Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson star in this actioncomedy as the best bodyguard in the world and the world’s most notorious hitman. Will these mortal enemies a) learn to work together to achieve a common goal; b) learn to overcome their differences to achieve a common goal; or c) turn into Nick Fury and Deadpool, and then learn to overcome their differences to achieve a common goal? Patrick Hughes directs. (R) 118 minutes.

THE HOUSE Scott and Kate Johansen are thrilled when their daughter Alex gets into her dream college. But then they find out that 401K does not mean they have $400,000, and they have to find another way to make their baby girl’s dreams come true. Naturally, they turn to a life of crime. Andrew Jay Cohen directs. Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Jason Mantzoukas co-star.

(R) 88 minutes.

KIDNAP Halle Berry’s son has been kidnapped, and instead of waiting for the cops (if this were a commentary on the relationship between communities of color and the police, that would’ve been something), she goes on a vigilante car chase, crashing into things and screaming a lot, which causes many spectacular—and probably lethal!—accidents along the way.

Of course the folks who did Salt and Transformers thought a child’s

kidnapping story would be the perfect background for a car chase movie. Luis Prieto directs. Halle Berry, Sage Correa, Chris McGinn co-star. (R) 94 minutes.

LOGAN LUCKY If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “You know what this heist movie needs?

NASCAR!,” then this new Steven Soderbergh film is for you. Coming out of a self-imposed “retirement” that lasted four years—which actually is kind of a lifetime for him, since he used to put out like seven movies a year—his latest action-comedy has a fair amount of critical buzz, not to mention Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Daniel Craig. Soderbergh directs.

(PG-13) 119 minutes.

THE NUT JOB 2: NUTTY BY NATURE Did you see The Nut Job 1? Of course you didn’t, unless you have a child between the ages of three and eight and there were absolutely no other kid’s movies playing that day. You’d be surprised how many people that equals, though—enough to get this sequel funded, at least.

So now the characters you don’t remember from the first film (even if you did see it) are back to save their home from an amusement park developer. Sadly, that is probably the only context in which the word “amusement” will be connected to this film. Cal Brunker directs. Voices of Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph, Katherine Heigl, Jackie Chan. (PG) 91 minutes.

SPIDERMAN: HOMECOMING Stark made him the suite, so now he’s got to live up to the legacy.

But after stopping bike thieves and helping grandmas out around the neighborhoods, little Spider Man might’ve gotten himself into a situation that might prove too big for his britches. Jon Watts directs.

Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr. co-star. (PG-13) 133 minutes.

WIND RIVER Reviewed this issue.

Directed by Taylor Sheridan. Gil Birmingham, Jon Bernthal, Julia Jones, Kelsey Asbille and James Jordan co-star. (R) 107 minutes.

After 40 years, Santa Cruz institution the Bagelry is still topping itself BY CHRISTINA WATERS

E

ver since I’ve been in Santa Cruz, there’s been the Bagelry. Completely without designer pretensions, this welcoming kitchen, deli, and dining spot offers fresh traditional bagels with delicious toppings for breakfast and lunch. I’ve been a fan for decades. The lush garden patio adjoining the main downtown location is one relaxing reason. I feel like I’m inside a Gauguin as I sit amid the tropical vines and flowers, inhaling my favorite bagel creation du jour and drinking excellent Santa

Cruz Roasting Company coffee.

For years, one of my favorite lunches here involved tomato basil soup. Yes, the soups here are spectacular. Just last week, Jack and I found a new favorite made by the Bagelry kitchen—a rich creation of potato, spinach and artichoke.

Seasoned with onions and oregano, this soup could have given lessons.

And then there’s the hummus and eggs breakfast, or the Flamingo—a pale pink orgy of blended lox and cream cheese. Everyone has her favorite bagel. For a solid decade

friendly staffers at both locations offer samples, make suggestions, and work hard to give you exactly what you want. Nobody leaves the Bagelry in a bad mood (unless they want to).

For not much money you can sit down, spread out, eat a freshlyprepared meal, have a great cup of coffee (or one of the hundreds of juices and sodas shimmering in those refrigerator cases), and feel good about it. But back to the Duke.

It’s been my passion for a long time. Here’s why: the bagel of choice (today it was sesame seed) is frosted with cream cheese, apple sauce, and a huge handful of cashews. This full-figured item is presented openfaced, so that I can admire all those cashews before sinking my teeth into its textural intrigue. Who even offers us apple sauce anymore? I love apple sauce and the Duke is my favorite delivery system for the old-fashioned jam alternative. All of this (I confess I cannot actually finish an entire portion ...) for under $5. Listen up: while the Bagelry—founded 40 years ago!—is still with us, get on over to whichever one is closest to you.

And don’t miss the wonderful soups!

Liberal hours of operation, starting at 6:30 a.m. weekdays.

mine was the raisin bagel, now it’s the poppy seed. Jack is hopelessly devoted to the Bagelry’s jalapeño bagel, which he loves topped with the house tuna salad. A homegrown treasure, the Bagelry offers clean, uncluttered seating under the Cedar Street location’s muraled walls.

Original artwork hangs along the far wall at the cozy Seabright store, where somehow there’s always more room inside for eating, conversation, reading, and hanging out with friends, than it looks like there would be from outside. Incredibly

The morning scene here gave my gal pal Kate and I some serious caffeine last week at my very first visit to the new Abbott Square Market. Always a fan of Companion pastries, I chose a textbook almond croissant to go with the exceptional Cat & Cloud house coffee. Kate’s discerning palate required a mocha.

But she had to settle for a herd of miniature marshmallows on top instead of the whipped cream she craved. Who knows? C&C might soon add whipped cream to their menu. Laid out with a variety of seating possibilities, the sleek interior reminded me of Pike’s Place in Seattle. California industrial design gives the labyrinthine interior a crisp edge and challenging acoustics. I’ll definitely be back for more java, and a cocktail at the gorgeous Front & Cooper bar.

’ve drank many a beer in my day, but now I can say that I’ve eaten one, too. Tabitha Stroup of Friend in Cheeses Jam Co. and Emily Thomas of Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing have teamed up to create a jelly using SCMB’s “Giant DIPA” Double IPA, and it’s a mash made in heaven (sorry, I couldn’t help myself). Amber-hued, malty and sweet with herbal hop aromas, it definitely tastes like beer … but it’s spreadable. Trust me, it’s good.

Fantastic with buttery double- and triple-crème cheeses, it also makes a dynamite glaze for pork loin and bacon, especially if that bacon then becomes a BLT. Thomas says they’ll be making a grown-up PB&J at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver with DIPA jelly and cashew butter. As Stroup frequently says of her eclectic preserves, you’re only limited by your own imagination.

Find it at SCMB’s Westside taproom, and at the Westside and Felton farmers markets.

MORE BEER

Capitola-based Sante Adairius Rustic Ales is opening a second location

at 1315 Water St., in the building that previously housed Blithe and Bonny and Staff of Life—a bit easier to find than their brewery tucked away up on Kennedy Drive. Co-owner Adair Paterno reports that, “The new tasting room will be decidedly SARA, but will provide a different look and feel and overall experience.

The centerpiece of the space will be a decommissioned 90-barrel foudre, which has been re-milled to serve as the back bar and tap housing.” They hope to open their doors this fall.

Meanwhile, the team that brought Beer Thirty Bottle Shop & Pourhouse to Soquel is proposing to open an additional establishment in a new commercial area called the Hangar, on Aviation Way in Watsonville. The new location will be “craft-beer-centric, with a complementary food concept,” says Kym DeWitt. Guests can expect outdoor seating, regular entertainment and a family-friendly environment. “We hope to bring career-level opportunities to South County,” says DeWitt, who cautions that there’s a lot of work to be done before the development is approved and ready to open.

Pleasant Valley

The crowd-pleasing Sean Boyle Syrah 2013 is bottled unfiltered BY JOSIE COWDEN

T

he Sean Boyle Syrah 2013 only gets better with age.

When I opened a bottle to pair with a couple of steaks we grilled at home, the wine’s gorgeous aromas were evident before I even poured it in the glass. Starting off with premium grapes gives wine a head start, and winemaker Craig Handley uses only the best. In this case, a lush harvest of Syrah grapes from Lester Family Vineyards.

At a recent wine event on the Lester property in Aptos, Pleasant Valley Vineyards owners Craig and Cathy Handley were pouring their superb wines—each one named after a family member.

The wine that caught my attention that day was the Sean Boyle Syrah ($40), named after their grandnephew Sean, who has yet to reach his first decade. This delicious Syrah is awash with voluptuous fruity aromas and bold berry flavors.

It’s aged exclusively in small oak barrels and is bottled unfiltered and unfined—a process gaining in popularity and which basically means the sediment is left in the wine.

“This is a huge crowd pleaser,” say the Handleys of their Syrah. “Its full

berry flavors with a delicious white pepper finish are great with any red meat affairs.” And it certainly goes well with pizza. Ricco Felice, owner and chef of Felice Forno—a mobile wood-fired pizza operation—turned out a variety of tasty pies that day to pair with Pleasant Valley Vineyards’ wines. Pleasant Valley Vineyards, 600 Pleasant Valley Road, Aptos, 288-0074. pvvines.com.

PINOT HARVEST DINNER A wonderful evening of food and wine kicks off Pinot Paradise featuring wines from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Taste exquisite wines during a wine reception, bid on magnum bottles during a silent auction, and celebrate harvest under the stars at the Pinot Harvest Dinner at Lester Family Vineyards in Aptos.

All proceeds will benefit Hospice of Santa Cruz County. Tickets are $150 per attendee and include admission to the Pathway to Pinot Paradise Wine Trail in October. The Harvest Dinner event is 5-9 p.m.

Saturday, Sept. 23. Visit Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association for more info on the dinner and other Pinot Paradise events, at scmwa.com.

All the planets at one time or another turn retrograde, creating an inward-focused time. At present, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Juno and Chiron are retrograde.

During retrograde times, we confront the past, sort out the dross, clean, clear, eliminate and bring forth closure. Then the planet turns direct again.

Monday, after four-and-a-half months of retrograde (since April 6), Saturn—strict teacher, disciplinarian and time-keeper—turns direct (21 degrees Sagittarius). During Saturn retrogrades, we tend to things neglected and forgotten. Debts (karma) owed are remembered. Tests and challenges return, giving us time to learn the lessons again.

After Saturn turns direct once again, we are ready to assume more tasks and responsibilities, become more productive, achieve more, are on time, and apply practically what we have learned over the previous months. We have more strength, ambition, and a sense of perseverance has developed. We feel encouraged, have sounder judgment, and care for ourselves in

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 You’re recognized for your unceasing work performance.

You’re seen as a bit radical, responsible, likeable, with appropriate authority, able to negotiate and be social at the same time. All in terms of your profession.

There’s some ambition for something new, something managerial mixed with art, creativity and your particular talent. Opportunities come your way. Keep a sensible heart throughout. But listen to the siren calls.

GEMINI May 22–June 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20

It’s important to hear during these times that you are creative, intelligent, loving, cared for and appreciated.

You may not verbalize these words to others often, but you need to have them spoken to you. Inform loved ones that you feel safe and secure with them. And thank them. What you seek most right now are things simple, trustworthy and genuine. Soul qualities.

Several things keep coming to the surface or showing up in your life. The usual things – money, sharing finances, deep intimate connections, dividing power, discussing emotional topics. All of these are important. Then there’s the unusual, where routine becomes a grave dissatisfaction. The appeal is other people, faraway places, attractive and charming and rather exotic. You are to attract and then synthesize all of it.

CANCER Jun21–Jul20

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20

The planets are affecting you in such a way that you are more sensitive, vulnerable, aware, perceptive and intuitive.

Give to yourself all that you need during this time. You may need to tend to your health and well-being with more focus.

Less acidic foods, more alkaline for balance. You will feel the difference. Research Chaga (medicinal mushroom) and dried green barley grass. Use them in smoothies.

Pay special attention to partners, intimates, friends and those close to you. Personal, one-on-one interactions are needed by those who love you. Offer yourself, with intention and dedication, to be more present, to just love more. Observe carefully the needs of those in your life. One can radiate love yet still be unaware of the real needs of others. Do you recognize the subtle difference?

Parts of your life become more hidden for a while. In terms of love, it’s as if you closed the door and went into hiding. Secrets become interesting, you or others speak in whispers. There’s a real feeling that some essential things—people, situations, events, the past—have ended.

Loss is always accompanied by sadness and melancholy.

This too passes. But you realize what you are lonely for.

and you will be surprised in the future who and what you become. In relationships, you harmonize rather than challenge. In groups of friends you are the change maker, the radical social one. Someone makes you very happy.

You value their love. They teach you how to love more.

You protect them from harm. Safeguarding them. You don’t talk about these things. Sometimes there’s sadness.

You always choose to be kind, tolerant, tactful, doing no harm. This makes you very likable. You learn during these eclipse weeks that you are very creative. You also learn to provide others with more recognition. You’re sensitive, diplomatic, and often you remain silent. You have very high intelligence, which you hide. You are also, at times, mischievous and ornery. Everyone likes you.

more practical ways.

Saturn pushes us to have courage, moves us out of past habits and carefully into new rhythms. Saturn guards and guides us, teaches us to trust and assume responsibility. Saturn strengthens us and offers us failures so we can learn fortitude and patience. Saturn adjusts our abilities by offering us struggles and times when we are solitary and alone. Saturn is strict but very fair.

As the days, weeks and months unfold after the Leo solar eclipse and Saturn moving forward in Sag (both fire signs), our creativity surges and a concrete manifestation of things envisioned and hoped for comes forth.

Burning Man begins Sunday in a Mercury/Virgo retrograde. This radical, ritualed pop-up-art-culturecommunity-bonfire event-on Black Rock playas— where everyone is equal, nothing can be bought, and there are no rules—will have surprising events and outcomes this year. Burning Man’s principles/rules (Saturn) are on my website, nightlightnews.org.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 You seek someone to share your interests. You seek happiness and friendships and group interactions. You seek peacefulness, a bit of romance tinged with friendship.

You waver between depth and impersonality, all the while wanting to trust. You’re here and there with your thinking.

You want to feel empowered, but sometimes daily life feels wounding. Relationships change for the better.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22 A very expansive new sense of self is growing within,

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18 Above all other things you do this month, make sure the work environment is harmonious and peaceful, friendly and tidy, generous and a pleasure for everyone. Call for team spirit, ask everyone to be cooperative and share tasks. The outcome is everyone begins to recognize your gifts and appreciates you more and more. Wherever you are tend carefully to all resources, finances and be aware of what you value.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 There is perhaps a wounding being experienced. A feeling that a new reality is needed. The one you’ve been living in no longer serves you. This is part of the eclipse playing out, part Chiron (the wound) and Neptune (things dissolving). There is a need for change, a new environment, new ways of daily living, new rhythms, new resources and more choices. Create a magnetic field around you by visualizing the needs being fulfilled. Write, draw, paint them. Let this be your new daily creative endeavor. Then watch what happens.

Occupation: Property management Hobbies: Skate boarding, mountain biking, hanging out with mom Astrological sign: Cancer Who or what got you shopping here? My mother, plus when I moved to the Seabright area this was the place to shop. This is my store! I got hooked on the quality of Shopper’s foods. I appreciate the market’s interesting variety and the constant flow of of new items coming in. I like cooking and eating highquality foods. Shopper’s serves my needs — it’s a great market! I’m a fan of the store’s vibe and the old-world style, like the wooden floors. It’s clean, friendly and you always have fun shopping here. I promote this store almost daily telling people it’s the best!

Really? The meat department is great and the butchers make me laugh! If you need a special cut they’ll provide that service. I love to barbecue using Shopper’s grass-fed rib eyes, skirt steaks, pork chops, sausages, and more.

The produce is top quality and shiny-fresh! I primarily buy organic. Shopper’s carries a lot of local products that the chains don’t stock such as Annie’s spreads, Verve coffee, Gayle’s breads, Lulu’s chocolates, plus Polar Bear and Donnelly Chocolate’s ice cream bars. They’re both out of this world! I don’t drink a lot of beer but I like their selection.

You prefer shopping local? Definitely. I like supporting local businesses, from hardware and garden stores to markets such as Shopper’s. Here, at Shopper’s, the owners are interacting with everyone; that creates a sense of community and caring. You get the feeling you matter. They’re also looking out for their employees’ and customers’ best interests, so the store runs properly.

The staff is helpful and full of smiles. They meet and greet you naturally, and will personally direct you to products you can’t find. I come here daily and I’m better for it.

“Shopper’s serves my needs — it’s a great market! … I come here daily and I’m better for it.”
