OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE This area isn’t known for producing a lot of YouTube stars, which makes Louie Castro’s story rather remarkable. Actually, there are a lot of remarkable things about Castro’s story, not the least of which is that he has found his online fame in Watsonville, without the similarly lifestyle-tech-obsessed community around him that one would find in Silicon Valley or L.A. That’s one of the challenges that he talks about in this week’s cover story by Denize Gallardo.

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT

Re: “Check the Tape” (GT, 8/28) :An $18,000 outside investigation ordered by city manager Martín Bernal against Santa Cruz City Council members Chris Krohn and Drew Glover has ended in practically nil findings of gender discrimination or other harassment by the accused public servants. The independent investigator in fact recommended that the city council should have sought mediation and conflict resolution services before hiring him or any further investigation like his. But for the second time, Good Times writer Jacob Pierce has successfully blown up trivial—almost non-existent—incidents into semblances of major violations of some vague code of civil conduct possibly located in City Manager Bernal’s back pocket. The real issues at this point aren’t whether some councilmembers are arguing too vigorously for their point of view, which is to consider real reforms. It is that under the city manager form of government as practiced in Santa Cruz, city manager Bernal and his loyal department heads have pretty well taken over all major policy decisions; e.g., whether market-rate housing will be built on our precious remaining land for the well-to-do from over the hill, or whether we as a city try to remedy our severe shortage of affordable housing for middleincome, low-income, and very-low-income residents. City Manager Bernal and

I don’t want to spoil too much, but he does also do his makeup on a Boardwalk ride—he probably merits a cover story for that alone. But his views on YouTube as a career (or at least a launching pad), being gay in Watsonville, his cultural identity and personal style make this a fun and fascinating profile that offers some local insight into the phenomenon of online celebrity. One other thing to mention this week: I’ll be judging moles at the Mole and Mariachi Festival on Saturday at the Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park; come say hi in between sampling the deliciousness. I promise not to dance! STEVE PALOPOLI | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

department heads regularly plop into the council agenda for rubber-stamp approval and zero time for serious consideration: plays for luxury developments, plus countless other city projects that should have serious consideration time but have no place for extensive review by our elected representatives. That’s how the actual business of the city council is never adequately considered by council itself, because the council minority has complete control over setting agenda items, and that minority has been elected by big real estate money to fast-track our city into a profit-making machine for big developers and businesses. Hence the witch hunt initiated by Mayor Watkins and allies, and seized upon by city manager Bernal to generate sound and fury over imagined ethics violations by the most ethical councilmembers. Glover and Krohn, along with Sandy Brown, are trying to build a city that has a healthy, greenhouse-gas-free environment with room for firefighters and police, teachers, nurses and doctors, as well as health care aides, restaurant workers, hospitality, construction and maintenance workers, craftspeople, artists and musicians, poor people and marginalized communities like immigrants and people of color, and the disabled and elderly, all currently being swiftly shut out by city’s staff and the conservative council minority’s sellout of our common heritage to wealthy developers.

IS THIS WORKING?

September is Preparedness Month, both nationally and locally—as proclaimed by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors. Residents can download the Code Red app to make sure they receive emergency notifications. The County Office of Emergency Services maintains a number of preparedness resources for residents and their families at santacruzcounty.us/ OES. It’s a good time to look at evacuation routes, think about plans for alternative shelter and consider what to do about any medical, prescription and dietary needs.

Santa Cruz’s highest-paying occupations by median wages are in the areas of computers and mathematics ($77,000), management ($63,000) and architecture and engineering ($56,000). That’s according to Santa Cruz County's 2019 State of the Workforce, done by Beacon Economics. Residents age 25 and above who commute out-of-county earn significantly higher wages than counterparts who work closer to home. Other geographic disparities continue as well; North County jobs outnumber South County ones by nearly 5-to-1. View the full report at santacruzhumanservices.org/WorkforceSCC.

ROB BREZSNY FREE WILL ASTROLOGY Week of September 4 ARIES Mar21–Apr19 John Muir (1838–1914) was skilled at creating and using machinery. In his twenties, he diligently expressed those aptitudes. But at age 27, while working in a carriage parts factory, he suffered an accident that blinded him. For several months, he lay in bed, hoping to recuperate. During that time, Muir decided that if his sight returned, he would thereafter devote it to exploring the beauty of the natural world. The miracle came to pass, and for the rest of his life he traveled and explored the wilds of North America, becoming an influential naturalist, author and early environmentalist. I’d love to see you respond to one of your smaller setbacks—much less dramatic than Muir’s!—with comparable panache, Aries.

TAURUS Apr20–May20 Of all the children on the planet, 3% live in the U.S. And yet American children are in possession of 40% of the world’s toys. In accordance with astrological omens, I hereby invite you to be like an extravagant American child in the coming weeks. You have cosmic permission to seek maximum fun and treat yourself to zesty entertainment and lose yourself in uninhibited laughter and wow yourself with beguiling games and delightful gizmos. It’s playtime!

GEMINI May21–June20 The ama are Japanese women whose job it is to dive to the sea floor and fetch oysters bearing pearls. The water is usually cold, and the workers use no breathing apparatus, depending instead on specialized techniques to hold their breath. I propose we make them your inspirational role models. The next few weeks will be a favorable time, metaphorically speaking, for you to descend into the depths in quest of valuables and inspirations.

CANCER Jun21–Jul22

only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. 4. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. 5. It was while helping others to be free that I gained my own freedom.

LIBRA Sep23–Oct 22 “When you’re nailing a custard pie to the wall, and it starts to wilt, it doesn’t do any good to hammer in more nails.” So advised novelist Wallace Stegner. I hope I’m delivering his counsel in time to dissuade you from even trying to nail a custard pie to the wall—or an omelet or potato chip or taco, for that matter. What might be a better use of your energy? You could use the nails to build something that will actually be useful to you.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21 “I hid my deepest feelings so well I forgot where I placed them,” wrote author Amy Tan. My Scorpio friend Audrey once made a similar confession: “I buried my secrets so completely from the prying curiosity of other people that I lost track of them myself.” If either of those descriptions apply to you, Scorpio, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to secure a remedy. You’ll have extra power and luck if you commune with and celebrate your hidden feelings and buried secrets.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec21 “No Eden valid without serpent.” Novelist Wallace Stegner wrote that pithy riff. I think it’s a good motto for you to use in the immediate future. How do you interpret it? Here'’ what I think. As you nourish your robust vision of paradise-on-earth, and as you carry out the practical actions that enable you to manifest that vision, it’s wise to have some creative irritant in the midst of it. That bug, that question, that tantalizing mystery, is the key to keeping you honest and discerning. It gives credibility and gravitas to your idealistic striving.

Renowned Cancerian neurologist Oliver Sacks believed that music and gardens could be vital curative agents, as therapeutic as pharmaceuticals. My personal view is that walking in nature can be as medicinal as working and lolling in a garden. As for music, I would extend his prescription to include singing and dancing, as well as listening. I’m also surprised that Sacks didn’t give equal recognition to the healing power of touch, which can be wondrously rejuvenating, either in its erotic or non-erotic forms. I bring these thoughts to your attention because I suspect the coming weeks will be a Golden Age of non-pharmaceutical healing for you. I’m not suggesting that you stop taking the drugs you need to stay healthy; I simply mean that music, nature and touch will have an extra-sublime impact on your well-being.

The coco de mer is a palm tree that grows in the Seychelles. Its seed is huge, weighing as much as 40 pounds with a diameter of 19 inches. The seed takes seven years to grow into its mature form, then takes an additional two years to germinate. Everything I just said about the coco de mer seed reminds me of you, Capricorn. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ve been working on ripening an awesome seed for a long time, and are now in the final phase before it sprouts. The Majestic Budding may not fully kick in until 2020, but I bet you’re already feeling the enjoyable, mysterious pressure.

LE0 Jul23–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan20–Feb18

If you visualize what ancient Rome looked like, it’s possible you draw on memories of scenes you’ve seen portrayed in movies. The blockbuster film Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott, may be one of those templates. The weird thing is that Gladiator, as well as many other such movies, were inspired by the grandiose paintings of the ancient world done by Dutch artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836–1912). And in many ways, his depictions were not at all factual. I bring this to your attention, Leo, in the hope that it will prod you to question the accuracy and authenticity of your mental pictures. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get fuzzy and incorrect memories into closer alignment with the truth, and to shed any illusions that might be distorting your understanding of reality.

If you throw a pool ball or a bronze Buddha statue at a window, the glass will break. In fact, the speed at which it fractures could reach 3,000 miles per hour. Metaphorically speaking, your mental blocks and emotional obstacles are typically not as crackable. You may smack them with your angry probes and bash them with your desperate pleas, yet have little or no effect. But I suspect that in the coming weeks, you’ll have much more power than usual to shatter those vexations. So I hereby invite you to hurl your strongest blasts at your mental blocks and emotional obstacles. Don’t be surprised if they collapse at unexpectedly rapid speeds.

VIRGO Aug23–Sep22 I don’t know if the coming weeks will be an Anais Nin phase for you. But they could be if you want them to. It’s up to you whether you’ll dare to be as lyrical, sensual, deep, expressive, and emotionally rich as she was. In case you decide that yes, you will, here are quotes from Nin that might serve you well: 1. It is easy to love and there are so many ways to do it. 2. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. 3. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that

CAPRICORN Dec22–Jan19

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 In the 13th century, the Italian city of Bologna was serious about guarding the integrity of its cuisine. In 1250, the cheese guild issued a decree proclaiming, “If you make fake mortadella ... your body will be stretched on the rack three times, you will be fined 200 gold coins, and all the food you make will be destroyed.” I appreciate such devotion to purity and authenticity and factualness. And I recommend that in the coming weeks, you commit to comparable standards in your own sphere. Don’t let your own offerings be compromised or corrupted. The same with the offerings you receive from other people. Be impeccable.

Drunk or sober, old or young, I feel Jim would have stayed true to that core essence of creative integrity. Truth and authenticity are a frequency, not an ideal or philosophy. It’s what you “are,” not something you’re trying to be. The great artists have very little shades of gray. It makes them great. It makes them dangerous. It makes them burnout, often too soon.

Hire Authority

Former co-worker speaks out about disgraced ex-parks director, raising questions about city hiring BY JACOB PIERCE This is the second installment of a twopart series on the city of Santa Cruz’s harassment policy. — Editor

efore former Parks Director Mauro Garcia came to work for the city of Santa Cruz, he worked for the Southern California city of Vista, where he served as public works director. Martha* worked with Garcia there. She doesn’t remember the time fondly. “That man’s a monster,” she told GT. After leaving Vista, Garcia spent seven years here in Santa Cruz before abruptly leaving his post as

parks director a year and a half ago. As GT learned via a public records request and reported earlier this year (“Poor Conductor,” 6/5/19), City Manager Martín Bernal asked Garcia to resign because of a violation of Santa Cruz’s employee conduct policy. Years earlier, at the city of Vista, Martha says Garcia manipulated her into staying at a job she was trying to leave, and into beginning an affair with him. After evaluating Martha over several sessions, a counselor hired by the city of Vista summarized his findings in a 2010 letter, saying that Garcia had taken advantage of Martha when she was in a

vulnerable period of her life. Garcia targeted her and emotionally bonded Martha to himself, so that she could serve his needs, the counselor believed. Martha suffered “emotional abuse/intimidation and isolation at work,” he wrote, and a cycle was created that only made her more dependent on Garcia. Martha ultimately left her management analyst job, under duress, she says. Nine years later, she says she hasn’t dated since—she fears men, she says—and adds that she’s been suffering from PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). After hearing about GT’s previous coverage of Garcia from a >12

Soquel Creek Water District customer Nicole Behar’s water bill went up more than 50% this year, after the agency hiked rates in March. She feels that the district may be getting “greedy.” “It’s almost $200 a month, and we were paying $74,” Behar says. The trend is “super frustrating,” she adds. “I feel like it’s shady.” The water agency bills customers in two ways—a fixed service charge, which often sits around $40 per month—and an additional charge based on the quantity of water used. The district bills households $6.43 for each of the first six units of water, based on about 748 gallons per unit. After that, billing increases sharply, to $29.19 per unit. For customers with large meters or fireline connections, charges are even higher. While aimed at promoting conservation, the tiered rate system can have expensive consequences for those with large families like Behar, a stay-athome mom of four boys. “I’m pretty conservative with water. I get dinged just because we have six people in my house,” she says, compared to smaller households that may use water in other ways. “People that have lavish lawns and use tons of water are actually getting a cheaper rate.” Rates at Soquel Creek Water District will continue to increase by 9% per year for the next four years. In a county with notoriously high costs of living, the increases could represent another way for residents to get priced out of the area, worries Soquel Creek Water customer Marty Fletscher, whose bill went up $40 per month. “I didn’t get a $40 a month raise,” he says. There are some, however, who think the bills aren’t high enough. Retired journalist John Dickinson served for two years on Soquel Creek’s Water Rates Advisory Committee, which aimed to create a fair rate scheme for consumers and the district. “The problem is that water is way too cheap. We don’t charge enough, and people basically think it ought to be free,” he says. “But they’re perfectly happy to pay all sorts of >14

Back in home town

family friend, Martha called me to talk about her experience. She remembers feeling shaken when she learned that Garcia, who began his career in San Diego, had landed a new job in 2011—in spite of his track record. After she found out about Garcia’s career move, Martha says she and a friend warned a Santa Cruz official about Garcia’s past, but they never heard back. “I’m glad that he was forced to resign,” Martha says now. “But of course, he gets his full pension.” According to public records, Garcia received $110,000 last year—most of it from the retirement system for San Diego, where he worked for 20 years, and the rest from the city of Santa Cruz, via the state CalPERS program. There is no evidence that Santa Cruz strayed from typical employer practices in hiring Garcia. Still, the story raises interesting questions about how much cities learn about potential employees before bringing them onboard. After weeks of looking for a way to speak with Garcia, I stopped by his home to see if he would be willing to speak with me, or provide any contact information so that we could talk later. “No,” Garcia told me at the door. “You shouldn’t come here.”

In 2008, Martha says she was going through a divorce from her alcoholic husband when she told Garcia she wanted to leave her job. She planned to take her two kids and move to Northern California to be closer to her mother, according to interviews with GT and documents from nine years ago, when she filed a complaint about Garcia’s conduct in Vista. Martha says Garcia told her she couldn’t leave and repeatedly took her out to lunch, begging her to tell him what was wrong. She finally told him about her rocky marriage and looming divorce. Garcia was the second person she ever told, after her therapist. Martha says her boss thanked her for opening up and told her he could help her because he was “practically a psychologist,” given his master’s degree in organizational psychology. Garcia started talking about getting a divorce himself, although Martha

insisted that she wasn’t comfortable hearing about it and that he should seek counseling, she says. One day, Garcia took off Martha’s shoes in his office and kissed her, she says. Partly given the tumult in her life from the divorce, Martha says she felt confused, trapped and scared. She says that when she tried to leave either her job or the relationship, Garcia would shove papers off his desk and yell at her for betraying him and not caring about him. She says Garcia told her she couldn’t go to Human Resources about their relationship. Martha began having panic attacks and vomiting due to lack of sleep, according to her written chronology from that time. “He knew that I was in a very vulnerable place,” she tells GT. “He would not let me out of the relationship. I used to cry.” Martha finally did go to HR, and ultimately resigned under duress days later, she says, at the end of 2009. A nervous breakdown left her in bed for seven weeks, she says. Garcia left the city of Vista a few months later. The city adopted a fraternization policy later that year. Vista’s city manager declined to answer any questions about Garcia or the circumstances surrounding his departure. Martha also filed complaints with the state Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) against both Garcia and Vista. An investigator did not establish evidence of any illegal activity, but he told Martha it would be very difficult for Garcia to find work in the next three years while the agency kept the complaint on file, which she took comfort in. But that didn’t turn out to be the case.

POSSIBLE PATTERN Santa Cruz officials say they had never heard Martha’s experience. “I know it’s one side of the story— at HR, we always try to think, ‘What’s the other side of the story?’” says Santa Cruz Human Resources Director Lisa Murphy, who was not on staff when Garcia was first hired. “But even on that surface, it’s a pretty disturbing story.” Bernal says he wasn’t aware of any behavioral issues, either

when Garcia was first hired or when Bernal promoted him from parks superintendent to parks and recreation director in 2016. Two years after that promotion, Bernal asked Garcia to resign from the city of Santa Cruz because of a complaint under the city’s Respectful Workplace Conduct policy, which outlines a number of behaviors deemed unacceptable. Bernal says that no criminal activity was involved in the incident. The complaint apparently pertained to romantic advances that Garcia made toward a lower-level city employee. “When this occurred, I thought it was just really bad judgment,” Bernal says. “I was really surprised by it. Even just to go out with someone to a restaurant and have drinks, I wouldn’t have done that. If I had heard that, that would’ve been not a good thing from my perspective. But this went beyond that.” Bernal adds that the situation escalated from there, and the two went back to a private residence. When told about the circumstances of the Santa Cruz complaint, Martha was happy to hear that things ended there. “It sounds like he didn’t get far with that woman,” she says.

HIRE POWER Santa Cruz doesn’t make public information requests for state DFEH complaints as part of its hiring process. Neither do other local governments, like Scotts Valley, Capitola and Watsonville, GT has learned. That’s partly because— without knowledge of a particular complaint, and the complainants’ permission—any request would have likely turned up little useful information, according to DFEH officials. Garcia started work at the city of Santa Cruz in 2011, just over one year after he left the city of Vista. In 2012, Martha found out from family friend Larry Peterson, who lives in Santa Cruz, about Garcia’s new job. Peterson emailed an employee of the city manager’s office with information about Martha’s experience with Garcia, and a copy of her DFEH complaint. At that point, Santa Cruz officials could have followed up to get Martha’s permission to access >16

What is

PUBLIC

SAFETY

POWER

Public Safety Power Shutoff

or PSPS is a precautionary safety measure that may proactively turn off power lines when extreme fire danger conditions are forecast. We will do this to reduce wildfire risks and keep our customers safe. To receive important outage alerts, update your contact information at pge.com/mywildfirealerts.

What criteria does PG&E consider when calling a PSPS? No single factor will initiate a Public Safety Power Shutoff as each situation is unique. The factors we generally consider include: ■ A Red Flag Warning declared by the National Weather Service ■ Forecasts of strong winds and wind gusts ■ Low humidity levels ■ Critically dry vegetation that could fuel a wildfire ■ And on-the-ground, real-time observations from PG&E field crews

In the interest of public safety, we continue to update and refine our criteria and protocols on an ongoing basis.

How will I know if a PSPS has been called in my neighborhood?

How can I prepare for a PSPS? We advise you to think in advance about your family’s needs and how you might be impacted in the event of a power shutoff — or for any emergency. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Do you have a personal safety plan for all members of your family, including pets? If you own a generator, is it ready to operate safely? Do you know how to open your garage door manually? Do you have cash and a full tank of gas, in the event ATMs and gas stations are unavailable? Are your mobile phones fully charged?

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2019

Because extreme weather threats can change quickly, our goal is to provide notice through phone calls, emails and text messages to customers 48 hours in advance, again at 24 hours and again just prior to turning off the power for safety. Updates will also be shared through social media, local news, radio and pge.com until the time power is restored. To receive important outage alerts, update your contact information at pge.com/mywildfirealerts.

UNDER PRESSURE Two Soquel Creek Water District workers install a gate valve to work on a pressurized

main without shutting off water flow. Water bills are going up, partly to cover infrastructure costs.

prices for gasoline and perfume and whiskey.” Dickinson adds that increased rates might incentivize people to conserve more. The problem is that conservation efforts by Soquel Creek Water customers in previous years are also contributing to today’s rising costs. “When people use less water, our costs don’t drop, so we have to charge more for the water that’s being used,” says Leslie Strohm, finance and business services manager for the district. That declining revenue stream, she says, creates a financial planning catch 22 for a district that hiked rates partly to disincentive unnecessary water use, but also to raise money for conservation and new projects. Customers, in turn, responded by aggressively cutting their usage, not only to save water, but also to save money. That has prompted the district to keep raising rates in an effort to make up the difference, and it’s left customers paying more for less.

Soquel Creek’s tier-one revenue covers expenses like maintenance and transport costs. The second-tier revenue will fund supplemental water supply sources, namely the Pure Water Soquel project, a $90 million venture aimed at replenishing groundwater levels and preventing seawater intrusion by pumping treated wastewater back into the overdrafted groundwater basin. If all goes as planned, Pure Water Soquel will treat the wastewater using methods like reverse osmosis filtration, disinfection and ultraviolet light. “Once we’ve purified it to that level, you can drink it, but we won’t be doing that,” says Strohm. At least not right away. Instead, water will be funneled into recharge wells where it will seep down and replenish the aquifer. Over time, the water will move through the aquifer and back to production wells, where it will be re-treated and delivered to residents’ homes. Soquel Creek is not alone in upping its rates to pay for big projects. The neighboring Santa Cruz Water District saw

rates increase again last month, for the fourth time since 2016. The city has $300 million worth of improvement projects lined up over the next several years on its backbone infrastructure to address issues like antiquated technology, pipes and treatment systems. Since no federal or state funding is pre-allocated to help pay for these improvements, the cost burden falls primarily on ratepayers. Neither district has a program in place to assist low-income ratepayers. Santa Cruz Water Director Rosemary Menard says it’s almost impossible for any water district to offer bill assistance as a result of a voter-approved 1996 proposition that prohibits any ratepayer revenue from being used to assist another group of ratepayers. “The business model that we’re stuck in is not conducive to maintaining equity and access for people who are less able to pay,” says Menard. “That issue has been emerging all over the state.”

Statewide, water rates went up 45% from 2007 to 2015, according to data from the American Water Works Association. With no end to increases in sight, things may have reached a tipping point as the state aims to address access issues through Assembly Bill 401. The bill, which was signed into law four years ago, established the Low-Income Water Rate Assistance Act, with the goal of establishing a statewide program for low-income ratepayers. It’s still in the research and development phase. Menard says she’s focused on immediate solutions to try and keep costs down for Santa Cruz ratepayers. That includes grant funding, debt financing and a $25-40 million bond measure to help pay for the next wave of projects. “We deal with people every day who have challenges and issues, and really our toolbox isn’t very full,” she says. “We’re trying to figure out how to get some more tools in the toolbox, but we’re not all the way there yet.”

her file, which she says she would have consented to. Peterson never heard back. HR Director Murphy joined the city two years later. She says that, generally speaking, when Santa Cruz hires a supervisor or department head from another city, her department is limited in the information it can learn from an applicant’s previous employer. For instance, she may not be able to learn the nature of an employee’s departure from a previous job. Bernal argues that a recruiter would likely find out about Garcia’s forced resignation from Google searches and news coverage. GT uncovered the reason for the departure in June—more than a year after Garcia left. Even without GT’s coverage, Bernal argues that a recruiter would have likely seen Garcia’s brief two-year run as a department head as a potential red flag. In that scenario, Bernal says, recruiters may call to ask privately if there were other reasons for the leadership change. But if short tenure is a red flag, Santa Cruz leaders might have missed similar indicators when they hired Garcia in 2011. Garcia worked for the city of Vista for less than two and a half years. Prior to that, he worked for the city of Santee for a few months. Before that, he worked for many years as San Diego’s deputy parks director, a lucrative position in California’s second-largest city. Nonetheless, Danettee Shoemaker—who served as Santa Cruz parks director prior to Garcia and oversaw his 2011 hiring—says there are a variety of reasons someone might leave a job, like looking for a change of pace or scenery. She adds that if anyone has any information about ways for local governments to learn more about applicants from previous employers or from other sources, they should let the city of Santa Cruz know. “People are pretty limited on what they can share,” she says. “The law protects the applicant more than employers.” *Name changed to protect source’s identity

TUBE TOPPER Watsonville's Louie Castro has racked up millions of views on YouTube with his makeup and lifestyle channel. PHOTO: TARMO HANNULA

LOUIE’S WORLD An unvarnished look at Watsonville local Louie Castro’s rise to YouTube fame BY DENIZE GALLARDO

like getting swarmed by young fans at Starbucks or setting up meet-andgreets at local events like the summer Strawberry Festival. More recently, Castro has crossed over to TV, making appearances on Univision and attending movie premieres and award shows like the Latin Grammys. His pictures on Instagram routinely get hundreds of thousands of likes, and videos with millions of views have earned him advertising income and provided inspiration for merch, like hoodies and lanyards printed with his signature slogan: “The Baddest Perra” [the baddest bitch]. True to the way he speaks offline, most of Castro’s videos are in Spanglish, covering topics like chisme (gossip), Mexican food “muckbangs” (eating and chatting on camera), or acting out Spanish skits. Castro was born and raised in Watsonville, but he weaves in elements of his Mexican heritage from his dad, a shoe repair man, and his mom, who works at a café. For advertisers, the whole setup translates to accessible content for fast-growing Latino communities. Despite his success, Castro has chosen to stay close to home—as much as he can, anyway. He thought about moving to L.A. after he says he was bullied in high school, then briefly studied film at CSUMB, but Castro still lives in Watsonville with his parents and two sisters (the oldest, Yoatzi, is a fellow YouTuber with almost 400,000 subscribers of her own). More and more, he finds himself commuting to L.A. for industry events.

ver try doing your makeup on a roller coaster at the Boardwalk? Louie Castro has. In one video on his YouTube channel, which has 1.8 million followers, the 20-year-old Watsonville native scrambles to do his eyebrows mid-ride, juggling a small pot of Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow filler and dabbing at his already perfect brows between screams. Halfway into a turn on the Undertow, the online personality known for beauty and confessional videos explains, he had dropped his eyebrow pencil. “I had to do it with my finger!” Castro tells the camera. Since he uploaded the video last summer, it’s been viewed 1.2 million times. Other videos have racked up as many as 5 million views on Castro’s channel “Louie’s Life,” which he started five years ago when he was a student at Watsonville High. His makeup and talon-like acrylic nails are always immaculate, but the titles of Castro’s most popular videos reveal his relatable and personalitydriven approach: “Sneaking Out at 3 a.m. Con Mis Hermanas” [with my sisters], “Latinas Going Through a Breakup” and “Losing My Virginity in 6th Grade?! Storytime.” Castro’s popularity has grown along with a diverse generation of fashion and beauty social media influencers and vloggers, who have turned getready-with-me makeup videos and dramatic retellings of deeply personal stories into full-time jobs. For Castro, the notoriety also comes with daily reminders of his internet celebrity,

<19 In a Q&A, Castro spoke to GT about growing up on the Central Coast, how he got over the fear of wearing makeup in public, and how he actually makes a living online.

little sister was the one who was super into YouTube, so she was like, “Yeah, there are people who make videos on YouTube. They are called YouTubers.”

How did your YouTube channel start? LOUIE CASTRO: I’ve had my YouTube channel for about 5 years now. [Before that] I would make videos on Instagram. They were like 15 second videos—remember when they would only let you do 15 seconds? So it was around that time, and I started getting a lot of comments: “Oh my gosh, you should make a YouTube channel.” But I didn’t even really know what YouTube was, because I would use YouTube for music videos and to find lyrics and stuff like that. My

When did you noticed that you were gaining a lot of subscribers? It wasn’t until I made my quinceañera video, “How to Dance at Quinciñeras.” I felt like I kinda blew up from there. Who were some of the influencers that inspired you to start? I loved watching Bretman Rock (a similarly flamboyant, makeup-savvy Filipino vlogger). The way he would make his videos, it felt more like he was connecting with people. Because

What year did you come out as gay? I wanna say, like, my sophomore year of high school. I came out to my friends first, and then slowly started coming out to the rest of my family. I think that they were shocked at the fact that I said it, not necessarily being like, “What? We didn’t know.” Because my mom told me, “Ever since you were little, like, I just knew you were,” and so did my sisters. What was your experience at Watsonville High? I hated high school, like super bad. Like, “Mom, I really don’t wanna go to school.” Sometimes I would try to skip class, but then I’ve always been super into my education. There was a lot of bullying during school, especially from YouTube. It was like, “Oh my god, what are you doing? Like, that’s so weird. Why are you making videos on YouTube? No one is going to watch it.” So it was like a lot of hate coming from, you know, other classmates or random people. Even my teachers! Like teachers would play my videos in class and like to make fun of me for doing it, or sometimes quote me on certain parts of my videos, and the rest of the class would just find it funny. I think because of that, it was also

so hard for me to be myself in high school. I was a different person. Not because I was like, “Oh, I’m trying to be different,” but it was scary to be myself when all you get is hate, hate, hate, hate. So I was just kinda hidden, keep it to myself. But I definitely do think after high school was when I was like, “I don’t give a fuck. I’m gonna do my own thing.” My senior year I definitely kinda slowly started wearing more makeup. I started dressing the way I wanted to dress. Still had a very tiny friend group.

When was your first experience trying on makeup? I did a video on my YouTube channel (with) my older sister, who is super into makeup. She did my makeup, and it was so weird—like, so weird. She did full face, contour and lashes. And I had never tried on makeup before that, so to have no makeup, then like slap on every single product, I was like, “Oh my god.” And even in that video, my sister had asked me, “Would you ever do makeup?’ I was like, “No.” But then slowly, as time went by, I started picking up more products, like I’d take my mom’s foundation to cover like a pimple. The first thing I ever really did was my eyebrows—started filling my eyebrows, and then little by little just started buying more and more. What was your experience first going out in public in makeup? Maybe two or three years ago was the first time. I was always used to wearing foundation and my eyebrows; that was it. But this time

<22 specifically, I put on concealer for the first time, and contour. That already made a huge difference to my face. I remember looking in the mirror and being like, “It’s so scary. Like, I don’t want to wear this out.” My sisters came and were like, “No, just do it! If you like it, just go out.” We went to the mall, and I remember being so scared, because I felt like I was being so judged. For one, already, being gay caught a lot of people’s attention. People might not always support it, but wearing makeup on top of it I feel like is even scarier. You know, it puts you more out there. I remember walking around and being super duper nervous—every five seconds checking either the mirror or my phone to make sure I looked good.

I even went into Sephora because I felt like my sisters were just telling me it looked good to be nice. I remember asking a worker, “Hi, can you be super honest with me?” I was like, “It’s like my first time really like wearing makeup. Do you think this looks good?” I remember her looking at me, and she was like, “Yeah, everything looks really good.” Even wearing eyeshadow for the first time, it was so bad that I went back into my car and took it off. So many people were staring at me.

How did the rest of your family react to you in makeup? At first it was weird to them. Not weird, but they didn’t understand it. I remember my mom, she’s always

out to my dad. I was like, “Damn, I’m the only boy in the family.” I don’t want it to feel like I’m letting him down or something like that.

With fashion, when did your style begin to change? Senior year I started wearing crop tops and wearing brighter colors, but I definitely think even not too long ago, less than a year ago, I just really, really dove into it. Thankfully I found a stylist who helps me dress up now. I do not know how to dress. If it wasn’t for my stylist, all I wear is just black. How do you handle backlash? Luckily, I’ve never had someone tell me something to my face. I feel like that is so different than seeing something online. But whenever it is online, I just ignore it or I delete it or block it. Thanks to Instagram, there’s this feature where you can block out certain words from being commented on your stuff. For my own comfort, and to not feel like I’m being attacked, I blocked so many words on that. It definitely has helped a lot. It’s taken away so much hate, so I don’t see it. I literally don’t see it. I don’t understand why so many people get so angry about it. I’m just playing with makeup, just having fun.

Do people from your hometown treat you differently now? Yeah, it’s a good feeling. When I do go out, I get recognized a lot. Being able to see the love and support in a person, instead of seeing comments, you actually get to see people’s facial expressions and how excited they get.

super supportive—both my parents are very supportive—but I think they wanted to understand what I was doing. When I started wearing makeup, my mom thought that I was thinking of going transgender. Not that she was against it or anything, but she was like, “Hey, I wanna talk to you. Are you wanting to transition?” I was like, “No, no, no. I’m happy with being a boy, but I just love wearing makeup.” It definitely took them a while to understand it. Now it’s to the point where like my parents like it so much, like, my mom will ask me to do her makeup and my sisters will ask me to do their makeup. My dad will compliment my makeup, which to me means a lot, because I was super scared back then to even come

When did you decide to make YouTube your full-time job? I used to work at Kmart. I worked there my senior year in high school. It was so hard. I was still trying to balance YouTube, my classes, work, and homework. I started seeing my income increasing on YouTube and was like, “Why am I still at Kmart?” It was pointless because I was making way less money at Kmart than what I was doing on YouTube.

“My video ideas will come to my head randomly. I could be eating and I will get a video idea, or taking a shower. Very few of them are planned. The way I like to film my videos is, I get an idea, and then I don’t think about it too much, because when I film it, I want it to be as natural as possible.” — LOUIE CASTRO <25 Has YouTube fame changed your personal relationships? It’s so hard for me to let people into my life, because I don’t know people’s intentions. I definitely have had so many people come into my life with the wrong intentions. Like, they want to get something out of me, or even try to get a following from me. I have lost a lot of friends, and I have even lost some actual relationships because of it. How much can you make from one video? It really depends on the views. The more views a video gets, the more you can make from it. There are advertisements that get put into our videos, and that is a way you can make money from them. It’s not a job where I’m going to work this many hours, and I’m guaranteed to make this much money. Sometimes you will get paid really poorly and sometimes really well, which sucks sometimes. I put a lot of effort into my videos. Some of them can be 30 minutes long. We get paid month to month. Do you have a manager? I have a manager. I found her about a year ago. Before having a manager, I was ripping my hair out every day because you don’t know where to go. You don’t know what to do for help.

How do you come up with content? My video ideas will come to my head randomly. I could be eating and I will get a video idea, or taking a shower. Very few of them are planned. The way I like to film my videos is, I get an idea, and then I don’t think about it too much, because when I film it, I want it to be as natural as possible. I don’t want to have a script or follow this or that. I think the fun in me making videos and the whole comedy comes from me just doing it naturally. It can be stressful sometimes, because there will be a day when I don’t get any ideas and my upload is coming up. That’s when I get stressed out. On average, how long does it take you to edit a video? Average video, six hours maybe. Because I have to go through the full video, then I edit it once, then I watch the full video again and edit it twice. Then the last time I finalize everything, like add background music and add an intro and outro. It takes a big part of my day to sit there. I try not to do it all in one day, because then I won’t have time for anything else. How long does it take you to film a video? I try to film between two and three hours, which is so crazy to say out

LOUIE’S WORLD loud, because when you watch the video on YouTube, you really only see like 15 minutes or 20 minutes.

Do you ever feel nervous for your viewers’ reactions? I do! What I really want to focus on with my channel is comedy. I want people to get a good laugh. Is it difficult living far away from other influencers and trying to collaborate? That is such a difficulty—like, huge! Obviously I live here in Watsonville, and being here for a while, I felt like I wasn’t growing because I wasn’t meeting people. I wasn’t making friends. I wasn’t meeting other YouTubers, and I wasn’t going to events. Everything is in L.A., at least for what I do. All of my friends live over there. A lot of them move from different places, but for what we do, we have to be there. Recently I started traveling a lot more. I can tell you, I’m there all the time. What are your plans for the future? I am going to try to stay on YouTube and do it as long as I can and keep having fun with it. I hope this opens opportunities for me to do something on TV myself. I would like to stick with the film industry, movies or something like that.

What was your experience growing up in Santa Cruz County? I do love the area, especially being so close to the beach. It was always just a little drive away. There’s a lot to do

Where does your comedy comes from? I feel like most of my comedy comes from my dad. He is shy and doesn’t like to come out on camera. Which sucks, because I know he would be super funny. My dad is literally just me, but older. He does all of the little funny dances that I do. He is super funny with the jokes. It’s not like those cringy dad jokes.

How important is your Mexican cultural identity to you? Anywhere that I go to where there are more Mexicans or Latinos, I feel like I am at home. I feel comfortable. I just feel like they are super nice to me. I can relate to a lot of them. I love being Hispanic, like the food and everything about it. Do you get responses to creating content in Spanglish? I do get those comments, a lot of people saying things like, “Oh my god, you are so funny, but I don’t understand all of your videos.” Or I will say something and people will ask, “What does that mean?” And all of my Latinos will get it. It kind of does make me want to make pure English videos, but I feel like the only thing holding me back from not making those videos is it’s not 100% me. That’s the one thing—I just want to keep it me. louieslife.com.

How do you feel representing your town? It makes me happy, because it’s very small. I get messages from people saying, “Damn Louie, it’s so crazy seeing you going out and doing these big things and going on TV and meeting people. Keep representing Watsonville.” Which is cool to me, because to my knowledge, I don’t think anyone from Watsonville has [done that]. For me being able to do these things I do, it’s cool to be like, “Oh, I’m from Watsonville.”

around Watsonville—I don’t think there’s much to do in Watsonville, but you have everything super close. You know, you have like Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Salinas, Gilroy, and Monterey. You’re in the middle of everything, so it was fun growing up being able to travel to all these different areas, or even taking the bus to the Boardwalk. Walking around Watsonville, it’s super small, so it wasn’t like, “Oh my god, I’m going to get lost” or “What if someone does something?” I felt I knew my way around. It’s a good little place, and you know a lot of people.

COMEDY

HIKING DISTANCE ‘Saturday Night Live’ alum Kevin Nealon, who in addition to a regular role on CBS’ ‘Man with a Plan’ also hosts the interview show

‘Hiking with Kevin,’ performs on Sunday, Sept. 15, at the Rio Theatre.

Kevin Nealon takes a break from ‘Hiking with Kevin’ to bring his stand-up to the Rio BY STEVE PALOPOLI

HOT TICKET

Night Live—especially as the anchor of “Weekend Update”—translates remarkably well into a format where he literally takes people for a hike on every show, interviewing them while they walk.

You’ll also notice that some of the hikes are pretty intensive, and both host and guest can get winded, punctuating their questions and answers with heavy breathing. So I had to ask Nealon, who brings his

COMEDY

“‘Weekend Update’ is very subjective, I think. You have different personalities, and people always have their favorites. I started out watching Chevy Chase, and I loved the kind of dry, real-newscaster kind of a guy. So that’s what I modeled mine after.” —KEVIN NEALON who was a good anchor, and who wasn’t. Nealon’s approach was generally deadpan, but he doesn’t think it was necessarily better or worse than other comedians who took a different or even opposite approach—like Dennis Miller, with his trademark smug snark. “‘Weekend Update’ is very subjective, I think. You have different personalities, and people always have their favorites,” says Nealon. “I started out watching Chevy Chase, and I loved the kind of dry, real-newscaster kind of a guy. So that’s what I modeled mine after. Dennis brought more of his personality into it, and had a certain angle on it that was great, too. Everybody comes in with their own thing. But now it’s more kind of standup. It’s almost like people are doing stand-up up there, and commenting on the story. So it’s changed a little bit. But I don’t think I have a particular favorite way. It’s kind of nice that things change all the time.” Now that Hiking with Kevin is a success, one thing you’d think he’d want to do is maybe hire a few people to help out. He’s taken the DIY concept to the extreme, even carrying the camera filming the episode on a selfie stick. “I think the charm of it is it has a homegrown feel to it. It’s not a highly polished show. It’s only me, there’s nobody else. I don’t have 12 people with cameras,” he says. “Occasionally, I’ll have my son film me. He’ll have my cell phone. So that helps a lot. I do like that. And I’m teaching him how to fly the drone, so he can fly the drone, too. I am trying to delegate some authority.” Kevin Nealon performs at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15, at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $27/$40 gold circle.

like it. It’s a good workout.” YouTube may seem like an odd place for Nealon to be doing a show, especially at the same time that he’s going into his fourth season of a recurring role as Matt LeBlanc’s dad on the CBS sitcom Man with a Plan. But it came about kind of by accident in 2017, and required the 65-year-old Nealon to upgrade his tech skills. “It was a totally new world for me,” he says. “Initially, I was posting these things on Instagram. Then I found out that Howard Stern was a big fan of the show, and he thought it’d be a good idea to make them longer. So I had to learn how to start a YouTube channel, and figure out how to make thumbnails and edit and all that stuff. Now I’ve even got a drone. I’ve really created a whole kind of world for me to do this in.” With two shows in various states of production, he doesn’t have as much time to tour as he once did. But when he does, he thinks Hiking With Kevin has actually had an effect on his stand-up. “I think it helps me think on my feet,” he says of the show. “And it makes me a better listener, too. When I first started, if you look at the Conan interview, I was just interrupting him all the time, and you can see him getting really angry. I look back at that and think, ‘Oh man.’” His new role as a real interviewer is a bit ironic, considering he made his name as a fake news anchor on “Weekend Update” while on SNL from 1986-1995. “That came out of the blue for me, because I wasn’t a sketch player, or a character guy or things like that,” he says of his SNL tenure. The “Weekend Update” slot has always been one of the most hotly debated aspects of SNL—namely,

MUSIC

LIFELONG REEDER Bennie Maupin, who has performed on the iconic albums of Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock,

performs with the trio Options on Monday, Sept. 9 at Kuumbwa.

SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

Options Open

After a legendary history in jazz, Bennie Maupin looks to the future with the Options ensemble BY ANDREW GILBERT

ennie Maupin doesn’t want to talk about the past. It’s not that the 78-year-old reed maestro has secrets to protect. He’s just more interested in where his music is going than where it’s been. Maupin understands that writers want to ply him with questions about his epochal recordings with Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, but “much has already been written about Bitches Brew and Head Hunters,” he says from his home in Los Angeles. “I don’t want to be redundant. Keep it in the moment. Our trio is what’s happening now.” Happening is one word for Options, the extraordinary new ensemble that makes its only Northern California

stop on Monday, Sept. 9 at Kuumbwa. Featuring the supremely talented drummer/composer Nasheet Waits, who recorded a series of acclaimed albums with pianist Fred Hersch’s trio, and bassist/composer Eric Revis, best known for his ongoing two-decade tenure with saxophonist Branford Marsalis, Options spins open-form improvisations that unfurl like soul-bearing conversations. Options is a confluence of Maupin’s present and his past, particularly the people in the project. Revis and Waits are longtime bandmates in the acclaimed collective combo Tarbaby (which has played Kuumbwa several times in the past decade). But Options’ roots go far deeper. Maupin came up on the Detroit scene in the late 1950s

with Nasheet’s late father Freddie Waits, a widely esteemed drummer who worked with heavyweights like McCoy Tyner, Kenny Barron and Andrew Hill. “He’s like my nephew,” Maupin says. “I’ve known him and his brother all his life. When he called me about this, I immediately said yes. It’s a nice situation for some real sensitive playing without piano or guitar, a setting that opens up a completely different area in terms of sounds and colors. It’s going to be a very exciting adventure.” Maupin’s past is so rich, it’s hard to not talk about it. He’s one of those rare players who actually changed the sound of jazz. He established himself as a rising force on tenor saxophone in

the late 1960s via albums like Horace Silver’s Serenade to a Soul Sister, Lee Morgan’s Caramba! and McCoy Tyner’s Tender Moments. He plays soprano sax and alto flute, but his most profound role was in adopting the bass clarinet after Eric Dolphy introduced the horn in the late 1950s. Maupin made his bass clarinet recording debut on Miles Davis’s seminal 1969 album Bitches Brew, adding an essential element to the trumpeter’s lean, sinuous fusion sound. And when Davis’ concept embraced denser textures and more intricate rhythmic patterns on Jack Johnson, Big Fun and On the Corner, Maupin’s reed work stood out amidst the kinetic sonic matrix. He joined another brilliant aural adventurer as a member of Herbie Hancock’s Mwandishi band. And when Hancock changed directions with a funk-infused sound introduced on the hugely influential 1973 album Head Hunters, one of the best-selling jazz albums ever, Maupin was the only Mwandishi player who made the transition. In many ways, Maupin’s uncompromising path was set by his early encounters with Dolphy and Coltrane in Detroit. He met Trane first, and encountered Dolphy a few years later, when he came through town as a member of John Coltrane’s band, and was immediately inspired to start playing bass clarinet. In recent years, Maupin has embraced his role as a venerable elder of Southern California’s surging creative music scene, where he’s a faculty member at the California Institute of the Arts. When he talks about the music he’s been making lately, he’s more likely to mention a former student who invited him to record than namedrop a fellow luminary. “There’s such a large cadre of young musicians who’ve finished their master’s doing interesting projects,” he says. “Working with these young musicians, it keeps me fresh. We need them, and they need us.” Bennie Maupin performs with his trio Options at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 9, at Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. $31.50 adv/$36.75 door. 427-2227.

LOVE YOUR

LOCAL BAND

ANTHONY ARYA Last October, after an amazing experience performing on The Voice for three rounds, local singer-songwriter Anthony Arya returned home and performed at the Food Lounge. A packed crowd was excited to see Arya—only 15 at the time—strum some tunes on his home turf.

SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

“A bunch of people I never met before came and packed the Food Lounge out,” says Arya. “All that Santa Cruz support was incredible.”

He had started writing music just a year earlier, steeping his sound in blues, jazz and folk, and playing wherever he could. But after his postVoice success, he reached out to Tom Miller at Michael’s on Main and started playing as much as humanly possible. In 2019, he’s played shows with his band, as a duo with girlfriend Emily Hough (also a Voice contestant), and with his Grateful Dead tribute band Chasing Ophelia. Right after The Voice, he also recorded his debut album Going To California, which featured 11 of his pre-Voice tunes. Arya’s got a new album in the works of songs he’s written since his Voice experience. Like his first record, it’ll be diverse, but he also came back from The Voice having learned a few things. “The Voice band is very dynamic. I really got it in my songwriting that I wanted to make music that had dynamics, that had a flow, but also energy that built up,” Arya says. “These new tunes, you’ll hear that there’s a lot of energy to them.” AARON CARNES

INFO: 2 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 8. Michael’s On Main, 2591 Main St., Soquel. $10. 479-9777.

ARIES

WEDNESDAY 9/4 ROCK

THE YAWPERS You always know a band is gonna rock when its name is a Walt Whitman reference. The Yawpers are raucous, a little messy and thankfully not named after one of Whitman’s sex poems (they could have been named “Fruits of the Gushing Showers,” which … ew). Throughout the band’s latest album Human Question, the Colorado three-piece sounds a bit rockabilly, a bit punk and, on the maraca-rocking title track, a little bit like British post-rockers Clinic. Still, the Yawpers are very much American in spirit, roving and free enough to make Whitman proud. MIKE HUGUENOR INFO: 8:30 p.m. Moe’s Alley, 1535 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz. $8 adv/$12 door. 479-1854.

JAZZ

THE HOT SARDINES Like a hooch-fueled, wee-hours

party that just keeps gaining steam as the sun comes up, the Hot Sardines infuses irrepressible energy and a boisterous spirit of fun into the pop songs of the 1920s and early ’30s. Co-led by French-born vocalist Elizabeth Bougerol and pianist Evan Palazzo, the New York combo has earned a huge and avid following with a theatrical approach to early jazz that avoids kitsch and naked nostalgia. Situated at the crossroads where vaudeville and Storyville collide, the New Orleans-inflected combo is touring in conjunction with its eighth release, the winningly rambunctious live album Welcome Home, Bon Voyage. ANDREW GILBERT

Back in the ’50s and ’60, it was the DJ that was the rockstar, spinning all the latest and greatest tracks. Some DJs were so cautious not to be upstaged, they’d scratch the name off of the record so no competing DJ could steal their hot cut. The DJs may not dominate Jamaica the way they once did, but the respect for the craft is there, as is a high expectation that the selector will spin all the greatest tunes. Yaadcore is one of the island’s hottest right now, focusing on roots-reggae revival tracks. AC

BE OUR GUEST PIVOT: THE ART OF FASHION Admit it, you don’t really go to a fashion show to see the latest in clothing trends. You want to see the art and craft these innovative designers use to dress their models. Pivot understands this, and doesn’t hide the fact that a fashion runway is really just another art show. You will be dazzled by the outlandish, absurd and gorgeous outfits these designers have concocted for the upcoming show at the Rio. We could be more specific, but that would spoil the fun.

FRIDAY 9/6 COMEDY

If you’re looking for soulful R&B that plunges the depths of personal struggle one moment, and swoops and swoons among the highest highs the next, Kiana Lede is your new obsession. Lede’s velvety smooth vocals add bounce to bubbly dance tunes too charming to resist. When things get real, Lede turns the bounce down to a low simmer for confessional takes on anxiety and past relationships. Her songs may undulate from upbeat to moody, but it’s a fun ride, and Lede maintains a core message of self-discovery and empowerment throughout the journey. AB

HIP-HOP

ARIES Attention old hip-hop heads. If you rant and rave about how new rap is all garbage, you need to set aside your bias for a moment and give Aries a listen. I know you can’t stand that it’s all sing-songy, mumbled and emotional, but hear me out: those elements aren’t necessarily terrible if you hear an artist with skill do them. That’s why I suggest you set aside your deep belief that all rappers must spit like

FILM

SONG OF REVENGE Aisling Fraciosi from ‘Game of Thrones’ plays Claire in the controversial new film ‘The Nightingale.’

Bird Shocks SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

‘The Nightingale’ mars its soaring beauty with unnecessary sadism and violence BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

hen watching a raperevenge film, which The Nightingale often pretends it isn’t, one hopes for something with enough aesthetic sensibility to conquer the basic manipulativeness of the premise. The problem with so many of these films is their insistence on graphic depictions of sexual violence—as if viewers couldn’t possibly imagine being overpowered and taken by force. The sickening fact is that far too many viewers know exactly how it feels, even without—as here—the multiple shots of our heroine, Claire (Game of Thrones’ Aisling Fraciosi), experiencing an assault. We’re also supposed believe it’s

news that rape would dehumanize us to the point where we’d want bestial revenge. The first prong of this fork underestimates our sensitivity, the second prong overestimates our genteelness. It’s surprising how little rape one needs to be ready for revenge. If a movie heroine wants to barbecue a rapist’s balls, I’ll hand her a match and a bottle of KC Sauce. It’s 1825 in Van Diemen’s Land, today’s Tasmania, during the closing of a war of extermination against the local aborigines. This genocide, as Robert Hughes writes in The Fatal Shore, ended with the last native stuffed and mounted in a vitrine. The 20-ish Claire is an Irish criminal sent to the penal colony for some unspecified misdeed. She lacks

the “ticket”—the papers that’ll enable her to leave the area, and the sardonic military officer Hawkins (Sam Clafin) who still owns her, despite her marriage to the man she loves, Aidan (Michael Shaesby). Hawkins slaps her and throws her across a table; later, she’s subjected to a cabin invasion in which she loses everything. The assaulters are traditional grindhouse thugs: Hawkins the brute leader, Ruse (Damon Herriman) the slavering follower, and one scaredy-cat (Harry Weaving, Hugo’s son) who snivels in terror. After he leaves her for dead, Hawkins seeks to cross the unpacified island overland, to get to a northern garrison town. He hopes to outrun the bad news that might

cost him a promotion. He hauls his vile soldiers with him, as well as an elderly native guide and a small parcel of yokels in shapeless hats. Claire gets her husband’s rifle and his pony and tracks her rapists. The Nightingale might have increased its appeal by going full True Grit, cutting the assault time and amping the frontier menace. Like Rooster Cogburn, the aborigine guide Billy (Baykali Ganambarr) is discovered nursing a bottle, refusing to help until he’s bribed. Like Mattie Ross, Claire shows her mettle by challenging a raging river on horseback, and like Mattie, Claire misfires her gun right when she has her quarry in her crosshairs. Kent insists on real-life consequences to this horror—that Claire’s thirst for vengeance is shallower than she thinks, and she sickens from the taste. A plus in The Nightingale is the terrain. Shadows of lone dead trees stand against the gloaming. Claire’s dreams of the crying of a baby fade into the nocturnal shrieks of the Tasmanian devils. The juicy chortle of the currawongs mirror the loneliness of the forest. As with an indifferent Western, something just keeps you watching this, no matter what—even in the wandering last hour, when Billy and Claire are separated and later rescued by Quaker types. The title is fraught. On one level, The Nightingale takes its name from Claire’s sweet singing of a capella Irish ballads. Likely it’s also meant to echo the legend of Philomela, the raped woman transformed into a nightingale (fussy scholars insists it was actually a swallow). In Metamorphises, Ovid retold the primordial raperevenge story, bridging the eons between Sophocles’ lost Tereus and Shakespeare’s ghastly Titus Andronicus. In Horace Gregory’s translation, Philomela’s outraged sister considers various methods of payback: “Cut off the genitals that injured you.” How ancient, the elements of this peculiarly basic form of entertainment. THE NIGHTINGALE Directed by Jennifer Kent. Starring Aisling Fraciosi, Baykali Ganambarr and Harry Weaving. R; 138 minutes.

FILM NEW RELEASES

Crudup. (PG-13) 112 minutes. (SP)

IT: CHAPTER TWO It used to be that if there was particularly epic source material for something, people would say,“You could never fit that in a movie! It’s more like a TV show or a miniseries.” In fact, the first adaptation of Stephen King’s 1,138-page novel It was a 1990 TV miniseries that is mostly remembered now for Tim Curry playing Pennywise the Clown. It was shown over two nights, cost $12 million, and ran just over three hours, not counting commercials. Times have changed: at 169 minutes, this second part of the $100-millionplus film adaptation alone nearly matches the running time of the entire miniseries (the first installment from 2017 ran a comparatively brisk 135 minutes). This adaptation is also packed with stars: Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy and Bill Hader headline the adult Loser’s Club, which battled the murderous Pennywise as children in the first movie. But does anyone else feel like Curry’s kooky, low-budget Pennywise is still better than Bill Skarsgard’s intense but somehow bland take? Directed by Andy Muschietti. (R) 169 minutes. (SP)

ANGEL HAS FALLEN Nothing says “mediocre action thriller that is basically just waiting around to be shown over and over on TNT during the NBA offseason” like a movie from this bizarre franchise, which also includes Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen, and features Gerard Butler keeping various world leaders from being assassinated by terrorists. This time, he’s the one on the run, after being framed for an assassination himself. Whoa, what a twist! Perhaps the next entry can be called Gerard Butler Has Fallen, and trace the downward spiral of his career from poor man’s Russell Crowe to poor man’s … er, Gerard Butler. Directed by Ric Roman Waugh. Co-starring Morgan Freeman, Jada Pinkett Smith and Piper Perabo. (R) 120 minutes. (SP)

SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2019 | GOODTIMES.SC | SANTACRUZ.COM

THE NIGHTINGALE Reviewed this issue. Directed by Jennifer Kent. Starring Aisling Fraciosi, Baykali Ganambarr and Harry Weaving. (R) 138 minutes.

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 groups.google.com/group/LTATM.

NOW PLAYING AFTER THE WEDDING Remake of a 2006 Danish film that featured Mads Mikkelson as the manager of an orphanage in India on the brink of bankruptcy has Julianne Moore in the same role. A trip to New York to secure financing for her operation leads to a series of events that force her to confront her own past. Directed by Bart Freundlich. Costarring Michelle Williams and Billy

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 What do these birds have to be angry about anymore? Their ridiculous mobile game has been downloaded more than 3 billion times in 10 years. They already had a terrible animated movie, and because it was an inexplicably huge hit, now they’ve got another one. Calm down, birds! Directed by Thurop Van Orman. Featuring the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Jones and Bill Hader. (PG) 96 minutes. (SP) BLINDED BY THE LIGHT Just when it looked like Yesterday had the Academy Award for Quirkiest Spin On Our Insatiable Nostalgia For Classic Rock all sewn up (it’s one of those Oscars they pass out during the commercials), along comes Blinded By the Light, about a British-Pakistani Muslim whose teen angst can only be cured by his obsession with the music of Bruce Springsteen. Based on the memoir of journalist Sarfraz Mandoor, this is actually a true story. I mean, so was Yesterday, obviously … Directed by Gurinder Chadha. Starring Viveik Kalra and Hayley Atwell. (PG-13) 117 minutes. (SP) DAVID CROSBY: REMEMBER MY NAME Oh, don’t worry, new music documentary, I’ll remember David Crosby’s name. The question is: After years of alcohol, cocaine and heroin abuse, does David Crosby

remember his name? Directed by A.J. Eaton. (R) 95 minutes. (SP) DON’T LET GO In this supernatural thriller from Blumhouse (of Get Out and Us fame), a man who has lost his family receives a phone call from one of the dead. As he is pulled into the mystery of what really happened, he sees a possibility of reversing it. Directed by Jacob Aaron Estes. Starring David Oyelowo, Storm Reid and Byron Mann. (R) 103 minutes. (SP) DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD I guess it’s been a long time since I checked in on Dora the Explorer, ’cause now she’s turned into Tomb Raider Jr. and is played by 18-year-old Isabela Moner in this live-action adventure adaptation. What happened to,“I’m the map! The map! The map, the map, the map?” Directed by James Bobin. Co-starring Benicio Del Toro, Danny Trejo and Eva Longoria. (PG) 102 minutes. 47 METERS DOWN: UNCAGED I’ve seen some bad shark movies, but judging from the trailer, this sequel to the surprise low-budget 2017 hit may give them a run for their money. The first one at least had the unusual cage-diving angle, and the intrigue of wondering whether star Mandy Moore was going to melt down on screen. This has four tourists scuba diving in Mayan ruins and encountering a playful narwhal. Just kidding! It’s another murder shark. Directed by Johannes Roberts. Starring Sistine Rose Stallone, Nia Long and Corinne Fox. (PG-13) 89 minutes. (SP) GOOD BOYS Little kids swearing—it never gets old, right? In fact, the makers of Superbad, Sausage Party and other raunchfests have apparently decided that the littler they are, the funnier it is. And so we have Good Boys, a comedy about 6th graders saying bad words, being wrong about sex, and unknowingly using sex toys. And you thought highconcept comedy was dead. Directed by Gene Stupnitsky. Starring Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams and Will Forte. (R) 89 minutes. (SP) THE LION KING To anyone who thought there were no more trees for

Disney to shake money out of, I give you what’s being sold as the latest in the company’s series of live-action remakes of hit cartoons. But the thing is, despite the fact that the computergenerated images of its animal cast are photo-realistic, there’s nothing here that’s actually live action, is there? Nope, it’s literally a cartoon remake of a cartoon. Who knew “hakuna matata” actually translates to “milk it for all it’s worth?” Directed by Jon Favreau. Featuring the voices of Donald Glover, John Oliver and James Earl Jones. (PG) 118 minutes. (SP) LUCE The recent arc of Octavia Spencer’s film roles, from model NASA intellect in Hidden Figures to psycho in Ma, is the perfect setup for what may be the most anticipated indie film of the year. Spencer plays a teacher who locks herself into all-out psychological warfare with a black student who is himself either a model citizen or a maniac. Or maybe both? Neither? So many people want to know how this film ends that when you google “Luce movie” the first suggestion that comes up is “Luce movie spoilers.” Co-starring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth. (R) 109 minutes. (SP) MAIDEN This documentary about Tracy Edwards, a charter-boat cook who became the captain of the first all-female crew to take on the Whitbread Round the World Race, takes place in a dark time, long ago, when the world was horribly sexist. Okay, it was 1989, and yeah, sexism hasn’t really gotten much better. All the more reason to enjoy these lady sailors seriously kicking everyone’s ass. (PG) 97 minutes. (SP) THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON Someday you’ll meet someone quirky who considers Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz’s audiencepleasing The Peanut Butter Falcon their favorite movie of all time. That choice wouldn’t be disgraceful; like the star Zack Gottsagen, this movie is on its own wavelength. Gottsagen’s character Zak introduces himself: “I am a Down’s Syndrome person.” He’s stubby, stubborn, and he wins you over fast with the strength of his own agenda and his willingness to

carry it out. Zak is a fan of professional wrestling and one vintage wrestler in particular, the SaltWater Redneck (Thomas Haden Church), who he watches repeatedly on a VHS tape. This obsession spurs his plan to flee the coastal North Carolina old folks’ home where he’s being kept. He stows away in the boat of another fugitive, Tyler (Shia LaBoeuf). As a road trip movie, it’s like The Last Detail done watery. The two southward-bound runners are at last joined by Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), who tended to Zak at the nursing home and who is responsible for tracking him down. (PG-13) 93 minutes. (RvB) SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK If you haven’t traumatized your kids in a while, why not take them to this adaptation of the 1980s and 1990s series of horror tales that thrilled macabre middleschoolers and angered Christian parents everywhere? What’s really scary is how adults can’t think of any way to tap into juvenile scares besides recycling their own obsession with meta-entertainment. So, like the Goosebumps movies, this is another film where the stories in the “cursed” book it’s based on start coming true. Directed by Andre Ovredai. Starring Zoe Margaret Coletti and Michael Garza. (PG-13) 111 minutes. (SP) WHERE’D YOU GO, BERNADETTE It’s weird to see patrician Cate Blanchett in full-on ditz mode, rattling around the house like Lucy Ricardo in Richard Linklater’s adaptation of the bestselling Maria Semple novel. But Blanchett is terrific in her instant transitions from icy and imperious to flirty to sardonic. While the book was a comic odyssey about the search for a woman in flight from 20 years of domesticity, Linklater keeps the protagonist front and center throughout, caught in the throes of suburban life in Seattle, so the mystery here is not where she’s gone away to but how she got here in the first place. Which gives us more time to watch Blanchett at work, making up for the movie’s sitcom elements and less-than-subtle messages. (PG-13) 104 minutes. (LJ)

FOOD & DRINK topped with a slice of preserved lemon ($9). Katya enjoyed a $7 glass of mineral-intensive French Domaine de Menard Colombard, Ugni Blanc blend. The citrusy white wine was from a rotating list of wines—a sparkler, a red and a white—selected by retail manager Alexis Carr. My favorite on the new menu was a trio of plump arancini ($7) filled with melting, oozing Gruyere and floating in a killer tomato sauce. Perfect Italianate rice balls, somehow made to go with a gin cocktail. Another highlight is an oyster shooter with tobiko ($5). Tastes like a 60-minute warm-up for whatever comes next. Terrific idea.

GINNED UP Soif Bar Manager Matt Barron has dreamed up a range of cocktails like the Ambrosia, a tall, complex gin cooler.

Mid-Week Eats Soif’s upscale happy hour delivers on flavor BY CHRISTINA WATERS

h, the arancini! The mouth-watering mules! Find those and more at The Hour unfolding at Soif each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 5-6 p.m. A sophisticated happy hour without sawdust on the floor, this hour offers a special menu with special prices that will appeal to those who crave some action before the dinner hour officially gets underway. Clever marketing to be sure, The Hour lets Soifists sample cocktails for $9, selected wines for $7, and nibble a Caesar salad for $8 while catching up on downtown gossip.

So Katya and I swung ‘round to see what Chef Tom McNary’s kitchen had going on last week. Priced between $7-15, The Hour’s menu tempted us with 21st-century bar food in the form of Vietnamese-style grilled quail ($11) accompanied by rosy leaf lettuce, pickled onions and slices of the best ripe tomatoes I’ve had all season. The glazed quail was tender-chewy and wonderful, especially dipped in a tart and fiery “mignonette” sauce laced with chilis and shallots. Another choice combo we inhaled was an order of slender-cut french fries ($5), along with a substantial bowl of mussels

in a broth of white wine, cream and shallots ($15). The fries were great dipped Belgian-style into the shellfish broth. The Hour’s menu is not written in stone, so expect it to morph along with the seasons. I was impressed with one of the special cocktails dreamed up for The Hour by bar manager Matt Barron. The Ambrosia is a tall, complex cooler of gin, grapefruit liqueur, orgeat almond liqueur (think liquid marzipan), lemon, and soda. Seriously fine, thanks to mixologist Jon Bates, and faintly creamy-tasting (that’s the orgeat), the impressive cocktail was

The annual Santa Cruz Chef’s Dinner will be held Sept. 12 from 6-9 p.m. at 126 High St., near downtown.

BIG CHEESE Orlando Osorino prepares his Don Cheeto sandwich at a Tortas Al 100

Tortas Al 100

Pop-up puts a modern spin on a Mexican classic BY DENIZE GALLARDO

make a good torta is going to be fresh produce. And when you are cooking with fresh meats, good seasoning, right temperatures. You don’t want to have your meat overly dry, you don’t want to have your salsas overly spicy. I think that the bread definitely ties everything together. We don’t actually use bolios. A lot of people use bolios. We use talera bread. The talera bread is a lot less hard and crunchy on the outside.

When did you come up with the idea for Tortas Al 100?

What’s your craziest torta?

ORLANDO OSORINO: We are involved with the community with a civil rights organization, and we do a lot of community service. Periodically we attend city council meetings, and last year, they were proposing that they wanted to start a flea market at the Salinas Rodeo. I had always had aspirations to be a business owner, and I always wanted to go into the food industry, because I know what I like. I know what I like to eat. I have a crazy idea of what other people might like to eat.

What makes a good torta? I think the principal things that

The Don Cheeto. We put chipotle mayo on the bun and we toast it. Of course the mayo has a little bit of fat in there, so it gets a nice crisp. Then we spread the bean spread on there, and then we throw cheese down directly on the grill so it gets nice and bubbly. We put bacon on there, carne asada and then we put it on your bread. Then we put a thin layer of nacho cheese, put the hot cheetos so they don’t go anywhere. Put some more nacho cheese on it, then we put lime-pickled onions. And then avocado, some more chipotle mayo. It’s a wrap. tortasal100.com.

can’t say enough good things about Brandon Armitage and the wines he makes. This dedicated, dyed-in-the-wool winemaker strives to produce only the best. His newly released Heart O’ the Mountain 2017 Pinot Noir Estate Blend is a masterful example of superb Pinot. But then, the vineyard in Scotts Valley is situated on prime land on what was once the historic Alfred Hitchcock estate. Now taken care of by the talented Armitage, the property produces more voluptuous grapes than ever—all harvested by hand during the cool, early-morning hours. Bursting at the seams with dark fruit, earthy flavors and rich aromas, this world-class 2017 Pinot Noir ($48) is available at the Armitage tasting room in Aptos Village. Another chance to sample will be when Armitage pours his wines at the Harvest Dinner (see below) at Lester family’s Deer Park Ranch. Armitage Tasting Room, 105C Post Office Drive, Aptos, 708-2874. Open Wednesday through Sunday; check armitagewines.com for hours.

TINY WINERY CONCERTS Armitage Wines has also launched a Tiny Winery Concert series at the Hitchcock estate now home to the vineyard.

H RISA’S STARS BY RISA D’ANGELES LIFE’S A DREAM, THE WORLD OUR STAGE

We have a Virgo stellium (three or more planets in a sign) in the heavens at this time—Juno, Mercury, Sun, Mars, and Venus. When Mars comes into play, emotions heat up, making events and interactions passionate, sizzling and quite fiery. We experience flare-ups, anger, frustration, criticism, judgments, and power issues in relationships. With Virgo, there’s a sense no one is living up to the Virgo standards of order, organization, communication, discernment, or discrimination. This is the situation when considering Western astrology, which follows the seasons. Sun/Mars in Virgo equals a very “testy” situation indeed! If we follow Vedic astrology, which follows the actual constellations, the Sun/Mars is in Leo (the “I”) and people may be saying, “I am angry, irritated,

fuming mad, outraged, disappointed, and impatient.” Whichever astrology we follow, Mars and the Sun are making things hot under the collar, temperatures are rising, and people are in reactive states that could prove damaging. Couple this with transits of Saturn retro (restriction, restructuring) in Capricorn, Neptune (dreamy, delusional, deluded), and Pisces (under water), and we find everyone doing their best to anchor a reality one can live with. Even though we have detail-focused Virgo energies all around us, we can still feel surreal, myopic and in a world of make-believe. The practical response to all of this is to daydream, think delightful thoughts, be uplifting and life-affirming, letting conversations run deep while we dilly-dally the days away. We remember life’s a dream, all the world’s a stage, each of us playing our part. Let’s all enjoy the play.

ARIES Mar21–Apr20

LIBRA Sep23–Oct22

Speak carefully and harmoniously to loved ones. Realize you may be more critical, including self-criticism. Allow others the benefit of understanding. Always ask for an explanation and listen carefully. What you know is best and what you feel emotionally (frustration, anger, etc.) may be at odds. Choose the right course of action. Then your consciousness, awareness and love expand. The 12 petals of the heart open.

You feel the need to be more social and find yourself at times in groups where everyone recognizes and loves you. And then there are times when you feel out of place, the odd one, not heard, seen, listened to, or understood. During the month you will assess your self-identity, see if you’re the same person from before, and realize new important needs for love, stability and for all things practical.

Esoteric astrology as news for week of Sept. 4, 2019

TAURUS Apr21–May21 Health events occur unexpectedly and healing people are contacted, both of which influence your future. Beware of anything you or others do that steps across boundaries where uncontrolled and disrespectful power may be an issue. In all communications bring forth Right Relations within yourself, so that the Right Relations of others can be summoned. In all endeavors maintain the highest of ethics, morals, values, and intentions. How one begins a project is how it ends.

There may be conflict and collisions with other people’s ideas. There may be difficulty communicating and/or being understood. Before speaking, think first about your choice of words, intentions and tone. Dedicate yourself to intentions for goodwill, always making situations better than they were. These are important values to uphold. Careful with travel, be cautious, and take no risks. It’s not a good time to gamble, either.

SAGITTARIUS Nov22–Dec20 During the month, traveling about here and there, you consider your base of operation, what your true foundations are, and how your family heritage has given you an identity that propels you forward into unknown territory. Do not be concerned if chaos becomes a companion. Chaos is the first step toward a new harmony. Chaos harbors the seeds of creativity, provides excitement and experiences, and shreds outworn ways of being. Gather walking sticks.

CAPRICORN Dec21–Jan20 Subtle shifts and changes will continue in your life, growing ever more present as the days unfold. You are being gently and quietly transformed to become the person you were meant to be. Tend to all things financial. Create a schedule for money earned and spent. You will notice a return to previous realities. Assess them, record them, and find that they were always good. Share with the family what you are writing about. True history sustains us.

LE0 Jul21–Aug22

AQUARIUS Jan21–Feb18

Let us spend a few moments in recognition and praise of you. Venus has asked us to honor you a bit more. And so, you’ve become more attractive and at times magnetic. Your heart is flowing with generosity. You offer support when needed, always tending to those more vulnerable than you (you understand vulnerability). You keep secrets, love to work alone, and what is it that I see coming down the road?

You may feel that all progress is stalled, movements forward take two steps back, and previous roads walked are walked upon again. This is not failure on your part. It’s a review, assessment, revisiting, and revision that must occur. It’s also the umbrella under which you will experience the coming autumn season. It will be a time of solitude, retreat and contemplation. Did you recently make a very difficult decision?

The words given to Leo soon apply to you. The sun is shining on your gifts and creative abilities, and all you’ve wanted to do now slowly comes into manifestation. You have everything you need in terms of energy, resources and time. Whereas much has been external, notice as you begin to withdraw more and more into yourself. It will be a time of composure, contemplation and peace. For a while.

SCORPIO Oct23–Nov21

New ideas are presented, emerging on all levels and parts of your life. Learning is occurring at an accelerated pace. It’s as if you’re in a school, but the reality is you’re concentrating on the here and now. Extra energy is also being offered to you from Mars, the planet that initiates and leads us to action. You are strong, resourceful, intuitive, and actually an excellent gardener. You will teach those who are curious.

PISCES Feb19–Mar20 Something comes to rest, and perhaps a completion occurs in the coming weeks. You will then prepare for new actions and activities that define the rest of the year. Notice your thoughts, impressions, ideas, and intuitions providing subtle signs concerning your next steps. Before anything new begins, some things come to an end.

SANTACRUZ.COM | GOODTIMES.SC | SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2019

You find you must change or shift your values and dayto-day ways of being. You find you must reach out to friends and loved ones and speak with them from your heart. You find you must alter your habits and ways of living so that health can be regained. You find that everything must change, and all of this is good. Each day, many are supporting you on inner levels. There is great love for you from the heavens, too.

We’re talking about the growing number of adult children who are trying to help their aging parents move out of the home they’ve lived in for thirty or forty years. Where to start? It goes without saying, leaving a longtime home is a daunting task. Even more so, when folks are in their 80s and 90s and wrestling with the entire spectrum of worries that come along with aging. For them, moving most often feels like an existential threat. Things are frequently in crisis mode by the time the children get involved. There aren’t always a lot of choices left, other than to react to the barrage of issues that just seem to keep coming. There’s no time to take a breath or figure out how to move forward strategically or proactively. Yes, it’s partly about the complicated logistics involved with selling a house. Hiring an agent. Getting the place ready. Dealing with deferred maintenance. Deciding what to do with all the stuff. But it isn’t just about those things... Try learning the nuances of the real estate process at the same time you’re trying to understand the complexities of Medicare, long term health coverage, trust documents, tax planning, different options for assisted living or memory care and how to work peacefully with your own siblings. Especially when you’ve got a job and a life of your own! Having worked with many families over the years going through these kinds of transitions, here are a few suggestions: Don’t Delay: Everyone says it. But it isn’t until you’re in crisis mode that you really appreciate the wisdom. You could have started planning sooner. Having those discussions. Researching the choices. Understanding the process. Start now. Get a plan even if you’re already behind. Talk Out Loud: It’s easy to avoid difficult discussions about aging. But they aren’t any easier after someone gets sick. And moving isn’t easier when there isn’t a choice. We’re all aging. Change is the only thing that’s certain. Why not talk about it? Stuff is the Hardest: I see it all the time. Getting a house ready to sell takes about a month. Getting a house full of stuff ready often takes six to eight months. If you are thinking about a move next year or the year after, start dealing with stuff now. The path is easier to walk when you’re carrying less baggage. Trust and Verify: If there’s no living trust, create one. If there’s already one in place, review it immediately. It’s a trans-generational planning tool that offers the perfect excuse to discuss everything: assets, taxes, legacy questions, health care options, funeral arrangements and how the decision-making process should work when the time comes.

S HOPP ER’ S SPOTLIG HT

Occupation: Retired R.N. Hobbies: Cooking, flower arranging, reading/book club, Filoli volunteering Who or what first got you shopping here? My mother, when I was a toddler.When I first started shopping at Shopper’s, Bud Beauregard, Jim’s father, used to bring groceries out to the cars. He’d have an apron on and a big smile — some people didn’t know he was the owner. In those days the butchers gave kids a hot dog to munch on.They had great customer service, just like they do today.The checkers are great, the butchers are so friendly and helpful. Shopper’s is fun and inspires: most gourmet cooks in the area shop here. My sister once said,‘Shopper’s carries real food, not TV dinners.’

Well, what do you like to cook? I like to experiment with recipes and flavors from all over the globe, and I can always get everything I need at Shopper’s.The butcher shop is fabulous: I love their meatloaf mix — I make zucchini boats with it — the fajita mix, the rolled flanks steaks with spinach, all of their sausages, their super-fresh fish and Mary’s airchilled chickens. I know people who’ve called Shopper’s from Europe to order their holiday turkeys; the quality is that good and they don’t want to miss out… I’m a fourth-generation Santa Cruz County native. I’m impressed that Shopper’s continues to flourish!

You think locally owned makes a difference in how Shopper’s is run? Yes. Look at all the great local products they carry: wines, pies, breads, ice creams, salsas, produce and more. Shopper’s is convenient and it’s run efficiently.You can get in and out quickly because of the store’s layout and you never wait in long checkout lines. I think management has a really good rapport with its staff as they all seem so happy at work.A lot of teens’ first jobs were either at Shopper’s or at the Boardwalk. If you’re new to the area, you’ve got my fourth-generation guarantee that you’ll enjoy Shopper’s Corner!
