Our Summer Camp illustrations just begged for color, so we challenged readers to a coloring contest. We drew at random from the energetic drawings we received to select this delightful rendering by 6-year-old Leilani. “We do color together often,” said her grandmother, Gail “YaYa” Gorton, who also sent one of her own, “but more so, we both love the outdoors.” Their favorite documentary is Raccoon Nation, which might explain the look in that raccoon’s eyes …

PUSH COMES TO SHOVE: Mental-health czar Alice Gleghorn (left) successfully resisted the push by DA Joyce Dudley (right) to have the supervisors adopt Laura’s Law, which gives judges the authority to order treatment-resistant people to get help.

news briefs LAW & DISORDER
A 15-year-old Dos Pueblos High School student was booked on charges of making criminal threats on 4/16 after allegedly sending threatening emails to one of his teachers and a school administrator. School staff immediately notified the Sheriff’s School Resource Deputy on campus, and the student was taken to the Juvenile Detention Center in Santa Maria. Because the student is a minor, no other information on his identity or the incident was released. Two Santa Barbara motorcycle officers were riding side-by-side when they ran into each other at about 1 p.m. on 4/16 at Mission and De la Vina streets. One officer, a threeyear veteran of the motorcycle patrol, was taken to Cottage Hospital for minor injuries and released. The second officer has been a motorcycle cop for four years. No other vehicles were involved, and it’s unclear what caused the accident. cou rtesy
‘Black Robe’ Therapy Put on ice ‘Not Yet’ County Supes Tell Supporters of Laura’s Law
T
by N i c k W e l s h
he county supervisors didn’t exactly say “no” to Laura’s Law at this Tuesday’s meeting; instead, they said “not yet.” But to supporters of the measure—which would authorize judges to order the most service-resistant mentally ill people into psychiatric treatment— treatment it may have seemed like the same thing. Tuesday’s vote marked the third time the supervisors have passed on adopting Laura’s Law since the bill was first made law by the State Legislature in 2002. Although the final vote was unanimous, the debate on both sides was uncommonly compelling and suspenseful; prior to the ceremonial final vote, the supervisors were narrowly split 3-2 on how best to proceed. Leading the charge in favor of Laura’s Law — named after a 19-year-old, former high school valedictorian who was shot to death by a mentally ill man—was District Attorney Joyce Dudley and 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr. They cited as their inspiration the deadly carnage inflicted by Elliot Rodger throughout Isla Vista last May. Dudley and Farr were backed unanimously by the Santa Barbara County Mental Health Commission as well as 12 mentalhealth advocates—mostly mothers—many of whom testified movingly about the challenges they faced raising seriously mentally ill children. Normally such a gathering would have constituted the proverbial irresistible force in Santa Barbara politics. But leading the resistance to the measure was Alice Gleghorn, a formidable, no-nonsense, certified rock star in the field of mental health. Half a year ago, the County of Santa Barbara hired Gleghorn away from her highranking post with the City of San Francisco 8
THE iNDEpENDENT

to save Santa Barbara’s chronically dysfunctional mental-health bureaucracy. When Gleghorn finally weighed in with her “not yet,” Laura’s Law was sunk. She described the addition of another responsibility as “too great a strain on the system at this time.” Gleghorn was specifically hired to carry out an ambitious, desperate, much-deliberated plan to rewire the very DNA of the Department of Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services. Since she started four months ago, some notable progress has been made; two temporary housing projects are about to open for those in crisis, one offering 23-hour respite and the other 30-day care. But Gleghorn noted her department has experienced “significant drift” in pursuing some of the reforms she’d been hired to implement. She expressed frustration at how hard it’s proved to hire the 100 new mental-health staff authorized by the Board of Supervisors. Two months ago, Gleghorn sounded the alarm that her department was already $4 million in the hole. That, not coincidentally, is exactly the same amount the county went over budget to ship its most severe psychiatric cases to out-of-county facilities. Santa Barbara’s Psychiatric Health Facility— Facility notoriously oversubscribed—has experienced a dramatic increase in patient demand. Lastly, Gleghorn argued that Laura’s Law also required the county to provide designated patients a broad menu of services that Santa Barbara is currently incapable of providing, chief among them a range of supportive housing options. “We’re entering into an area that does not exist,” she warned. But for the mental-health activists advocating for Laura’s Law, Gleghorn’s lament was just more of the same. They didn’t buy her pitch that she could deliver many of the promises if given time to enact departmental independent.com
reforms. “It hasn’t been borne out,” said Ann Eldridge, a member of the Mental Health Commission for more than 20 years. Suzanne Riordan of Families Act! said she understood the stress and strain a new program like Laura’s Law could generate among county staff, but added, “Let’s talk about the burden on the people.” Tom Franklin, an activist with the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, declared, “It’s a crisis. There are families out there who need the help.” In a separate interview, Lynne Gibbs, who is active in the mental-health community, described how her daughter cycled on and off the street and in and out of hospitals at least 15 times in 12 years because she refused to admit she was mentally ill and, just as adamantly, refused treatment. After her daughter was hospitalized four years ago—at a cost of $150,000 — she was placed under the conservatorship of the county public guardian department at the behest of the Psychiatric Health Facility doctors. Since that court action, Gibbs said, her daughter graduated from Santa Barbara City College, winning the President’s Award for academic excellence. “With treatment under Laura’s Law, I believe she could have taken this path many years earlier,” she said. What gives Laura’s Law its potency, Gibbs explained, is “the black-robe effect” activated when a judge orders otherwise noncompliant mentally ill people into treatment. (In practice, only a tiny percentage of patients ever receive such orders. Most agree to seek treatment “voluntarily” once the process is initiated.) In other counties and other states where similar programs — known as assisted outpatient treatment — are in place, Gibbs said, targeted patients experience a marked reduction in hospitalizations, incarcerations, and homelessness. cont’d page 12
Serena Schoepp and her dog
A Sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a 65-pound mixed-breed dog during an arrest on 4/18. Authorities said two deputies were attempting to take Serena Schoepp, 46, into custody during a neighborhood disturbance call. Schoepp called her dog out of a minivan, and when she struggled with a deputy, the dog “lunged.” The deputy kicked the dog back, but its continued aggression “forc[ed] him to use his service pistol to shoot the dog and stop the attack,” said Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover. Schoepp was arrested on outstanding warrants and a charge of interfering with a peace officer. DNA from the badly decomposed body that washed up on San Miguel Island last August was matched by the state Department of Justice to Richard Martin Smith, 63, of Sacramento. He was last seen on May 28, 2014, leaving the Channel Islands marina in Ventura aboard the sailboat Xiao Xiang, with Monique Krewedl, 57, of Sacramento, who remains missing. The county coroner was unable to determine how Smith died, but “no evidence was found to indicate the death was the result of violence,” said spokesperson Kelly Hoover. Sacramento detectives ask anyone with information to call (916) 874-5115. UCSB student Alejandra Melgoza and supporters gathered on campus 4/13 to protest what they describe as the school’s

A week after Representative Lois Capps announced that her current term would be her last, Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian became the latest candidate to announce that he is running to represent the 24th Congressional District. “Let’s make Washington smaller so we can make people bigger!” Achadjian proclaimed at a press conference Friday on the steps of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. An immigrant from Lebanon who became the owner of a small chain of gas stations in San Luis Obispo, Achadjian is the epitome of the American Dream. That was repeated Friday by a number of area Republicans, including former congressional candidate and actor Chris Mitchum, who narrowly lost the election to Capps last fall. Other notables in the crowd included Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, Santa Barbara city councilmembers Dale Francisco (who recently became chair of the county’s Republican Party) and Frank Hotchkiss, former county party chair Gregory Gandrud, and retired county supervisor and state assemblymember Brooks Firestone. “He has done it all,” Firestone said of Achadjian. With an ability to speak languages and an appreciation of what America stands for, Achadjian “has a true understanding of international issues,” Firestone said. “I am fully aware that there is much work to be done,” Achadjian said. Since 2010, Achadjian has served the State Assembly’s 35th District, which includes San Luis Obispo County and the northern tip of Santa Barbara County. He terms out in 2016. In 1998, Achadjian won a seat on the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors and served for 12 years. Justin Fareed, the 26-year-old Republican candidate who lost in the primaries last year, has joined the race again. Also vying to succeed Capps are Democrats Supervisor Salud Carbajal and Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider. — Kelsey Brugger
lax enforcement of sexual assault penalties. Last year, six UCSB students filed federal complaints against the university for the same issue. Melgoza (pictured above) alleges a male UCSB student raped her in her dorm room in 2013. After the school found the rapist guilty of violating Student Conduct Code, he was suspended from campus for two quarters, but the suspension has not been enforced, according to Melgoza. Citing privacy concerns, UCSB spokesperson George Foulsham said he couldn’t discuss individual cases, but, he said, “We take concerns raised by our students extremely seriously and as such we look for-
ward to having an opportunity to meet with our students involved in [Monday’s] action to continue to discuss their concerns in detail.”
COUNTY United Launch Alliance (ULA) — a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin — recently unveiled its next-generation Vulcan rocket, which is scheduled to blast off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in 2019. The Vulcan will phase out ULA’s Atlas and Delta rockets and will feature new liquid-fuel engines in development at Amazon chief Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin. The engines are being engineered for reuse, which will cut costs by about $100 million for medium-lift boosters and about $200 million for heavy-lift models. ULA’s CEO Tory Bruno said development of rockets like Vulcan typically run around $2 billion.
UCSB got another green feather in its cap last week, placing third in the Princeton Review’s list of Top 50 Green Colleges. What’s more, UCSB ranked first among public schools. Bruce Tiffney, cochair of UCSB’s Sustainability Committee, said the win is a testament to the endeavors of staff, students, and faculty who have brought “such a large and complex institution to its position of preeminence in sustainability,” adding that much remains to be done. cont’d page 10

E-Cigarette Use Triples Among Students
by K e l s e y B r u g g e r
o combat an electronic cigarette craze that is so established the Oxford Dictionary dubbed “vape” as the 2014 word of the year, the state Public Health department launched an online campaign last month. The website Still Blowing Smoke, part of this year’s $7 million anti-vaping advertising campaign, features bold, capital letters on a black backdrop warning that “big tobacco” wants to “turn kids into addicts.” Virtually overnight, pro-vapers launched a nearly identical website, NOT Blowing Smoke, arguing that the vaping industry is made up of small businesses and that the state is spreading propaganda to secure funding. Proposition 99, passed in 1988, sets aside $11 million this fiscal year for a media campaign consisting of two TV commercials, ads on Pandora and Spotify, and posters in malls and movie theaters. The mock website is perhaps the best indicator that the vaping industry is more than a flash in the pan. In fact, e-cigarette use among middle school and high school kids nationwide has tripled in the past year, according to data released last week from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This e-cigarette trend has offset declines of conventional cigarette use, the CDC reported, since there was no decline in overall tobacco use among teens from 2011 to 2014. In Santa Barbara County last fall, 39 percent of 11th graders and 28 percent of 9th graders said they had used an e-cigarette or other vaping device, according to the California Healthy Kids Survey. That’s significantly higher than countywide data in 2012 when the stats were 14 percent and 8 percent, respectively, even though that survey question lumped together mini cigars, hookah, and snus with e-cigarettes. Fall 2014 was the first time the statewide survey asked students specifically about e-cig use. Mitch Torina, assistant superintendent of student services, said though the data is not yet public, there has been a slight downturn in the number of kids who reported they used e-cigarettes at Santa Barbara Unified School District in the past year. That said, Torina went on, more junior high students than high schoolers are caught bringing them to school. independent.com
“I think our younger people are more fascinated by them,” he said. This slight downturn could be attributed to the fact that the school board tightened its policies in December 2013 to prohibit all e-cigarette use on campus. “If you look at how they market it [with] the flavors and the colors, [the industry] is not marketing that toward young adults,” Torina said. “[They] are marketing toward children.” Around the county, 19 of 23 school districts have recently adopted similar restrictions. County Public Health’s tobacco prevention coordinator Dawn Dunn visited school board meetings when the matters came up on their agendas and displayed e-cigs, calling them “flashy pens.” A number of cities, including Buellton, Goleta, Lompoc, Santa Maria, Solvang, and Carpinteria, have also become more stringent, prohibiting their use for adults as well as kids in enclosed public places where tobacco use is banned. The county will likely follow suit when the tobacco ordinance is reviewed this June. In the City of Santa Barbara, e-cigarettes still exist in a regulatory vacuum — without restrictions in restaurants and in public and without rules requiring retailers to keep them behind the counter. Shops that sell just e-cigarettes are not required to have a tobacco license, and 10 stores in the city specialize in e-cigarettes and other vaping products. Sam Maida, owner of Presidio Market on Santa Barbara Street, said electronic hookahs have been selling like crazy lately.“People love [them]. They come back for [them],” he said. Efforts to restrict e-cigarette use statewide are winding through the State Legislature. Two weeks ago, vaping industry reps flooded the State Capitol to oppose Senate Bill 140, which would prohibit e-cigarettes from workplaces, bars, restaurants, and other public places. SB 140 is backed by a coalition of health organizations. State Senator HannahBeth Jackson is a strong supporter of regulating e-cigarettes. As for traditional cigarettes, state legislators have also introduced legislation to increase the smoking age from 18 to 21, as well as cigarette taxes by $2 a pack. Similar efforts have failed numerous times in the past. n april 23, 2015

The county’s Air Pollution Control District (APCD) will soon establish a greenhousegas-emissions ceiling for projects in its jurisdiction, with the APCD Board of Directors set to pick a limit at a special meeting on April 30. On Thursday, the board had another special meeting to discuss the possible thresholds. Whatever limit the APCD goes with would apply to new or modified stationary sources under the agency’s purview. The APCD’s ceiling would also be encouraged for use by other jurisdictions in Santa Barbara County that don’t have a pollution threshold of their own. A concurrent process has been playing out at the county’s Planning and Development department, whose limit would apply to new oil and gas projects, among other new stationary pollution sources. Last week, the Planning Commission voted in favor of imposing an annual limit on projects of 1,000 metric tons, meaning that companies whose projects surpass that would need to buy reduction credits. The Board of Supervisors will have the final say on that limit May 19. On April 30, the APCD board will have two options before them. One would hold projects to 10,000 metric tons per year, the same limit imposed by the Board of Supervisors in 2013 on Santa Maria Energy’s bid for 136 cyclic steam injection oil wells. The 10,000-metric-ton ceiling is also in place at several air-quality agencies throughout the state, including San Luis Obispo County’s. The other option, preferred overwhelmingly by the board’s advisory panel, would force polluters that emit 10,000-25,000 metric tons to scale back by 15.3 percent. (Projects that release more than 25,000 metric tons would have to participate in the state’s cap-and-trade program.) That second option falls in line with the state’s Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32). Oil industry representatives have spoken strongly in favor of the 15.3 percent reduction, while environmental groups are — Lyz Hoffman pushing for a net-zero emissions limit.

At an event to launch a campaign to increase vaccination rates to the herd immunity level of about 95 percent, County Public Health officer Dr. Charity Dean commented that a number of generally affluent Santa Barbara schools have noticeably high personal-belief exemption rates. At Montecito Union, 79 percent of children are fully vaccinated; 89 percent of children at Washington Elementary and 81 percent of children at Roosevelt are fully immunized. On the opposite end of the spectrum, nearly 100 percent of kids at Franklin and Adams schools have all of their shots. The new “Strive for 95” effort is a collaboration of Sansum, Cottage Health Systems, and the county’s Public Health and County Education Office.

combos BRINGING UP THE BIG GUNS: Anti-terrorism patrol boats like this are coming from the U.S. Coast Guard’s Los Angeles-Long Beach Base apparently to protect Santa Barbara cruise ships
D
by T y l e R h ay d e N uring the Santa Barbara Yacht Club’s Wet Wednesday sailing race on April 8, harbor officials fielded complaints from multiple boaters that Coast Guard crews guarding a nearby cruise ship were aggressively ordering them away from the ship and leveling their rifles and bowmounted machine guns at race participants. The boaters claimed the Coast Guard was excessively intimidating with their bullhorns and weapons during the confrontations. “This was the first time during my 15-year sailing career in Santa Barbara that I’ve seen the Coast Guard with their guns drawn,” said yacht racer Bengt Johansson. “Quite intimidating—especially on the same day a guy got shot for a broken taillight.” “I saw the Coast Guard inflatables approach some boats at full speed with lights flashing and artillery pointed at them,” said Thomas Tunberg, echoing additional accounts relayed to The Santa Barbara Independent. The Coast Guard has categorically denied aiming any guns at yachters, but it admitted that the hostilities arose out of a changing of the guard and an unannounced expansion of the security zone it enforces around cruise ships. For last Wednesday’s race, the Coast Guard brought an elite anti-terrorism team up from its Los Angeles-Long Beach base to oversee the safety buffer. In response to
heightened concerns over domestic and overseas extremism, the Coast Guard has ratcheted up its frequency of cruise ship escorts off Southern California. The special ops squad enforced a larger security zone than had ever been mandated before, ordering boats to stay 500 yards away from the Princess cruise ship, rather than the customary 100 yards. The increase caught both yacht racers and city officials by surprise. When Santa Barbara Harbor officials reached out to Southern California Coast Guard commanders to address the confrontations and ask about the 500-yard buf buffer, they were told Coast Guard brass had unilaterally made the decision to enact an increase. No reason was given. Harbor officials wondered why that information had not been relayed to them or anyone else in Santa Barbara, and the Coast Guard said it would make attempts to better communicate the order. Mick Kronman, Santa Barbara’s harbor operations manager, said he’s been in touch with the Coast Guard and is trying to clear the air so smoother sailing prevails. “We’re working to establish a dialogue between the Waterfront Department, the Yacht Club, and cruise ships to discuss this issue and a potential, modest relocation of the cruise ship anchoring point,” he explained.

more. That no longer is legal. Because of this, Calonne and the council rejected entreaties by a handful of avocado ranchers for a break on their rates. The growers complained the price increase about to go into effect would cause their financial ruin. Though their arguments were sympathetically received, the council concluded it could not comply without running afoul of Prop. 218. The new rates, designed to cover the $42 million City Hall has budgeted to revamp the city’s long mothballed desalination plant, will go into effect in July. That plant should be operative the following year, providing 3,124 acre-feet of energy intensive, very expensive water should the drought persist.

by N i c k W e l s h anta Barbara City Attorney Ariel Calonne says he has nothing to fear from a ruling just issued by California’s 4th District Court of Appeal finding unconstitutional the tiered water rates charged by the City of San Juan Capistrano. “It should have no effect,” Calonne said. Like Capistrano — and about two-thirds of all state water districts—Santa Barbara charges customers according to a tiered pricing scheme in which progressively higher prices are charged as customers use progressively more water. San Juan Capistrano fell afoul of Proposition 218—passed by California voters in 1996 — because it charged some customers more for their water than it actually cost the city to provide the service. By contrast, Calonne noted, Santa Barbara City Hall has tied its rates to the actual cost of delivery. Prior to the passage of Prop. 218, cities were legally allowed to charge some customers less than the true cost of service by charging others, typically the largest consumers,

The doctor is out
Test results are in for 219 patients treated by Dr. Allen Thomashefsky, who is being investigated by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department for shoddy sterilization techniques that may have infected some of his patients with hepatitis or HIV. Six of Dr. Thomashefsky’s patients who received injections at his Bath Street clinic tested positive for hepatitis C; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are conducting additional tests to determine if the infections are new and related, or if the patients were already infected prior to visiting Thomashefsky’s office. One patient tested positive for hepatitis B, but that case was determined to be a prior, existing infection, said health officials. No patients tested positive for HIV. After one of Thomashefsky’s patients recently became infected with hepatitis C and that patient told health officials WORRIED SICK: Dr. Allen Thomashesfky about a procedure at Thomhas been cooperative with authorities as ashefsky’s clinic, the Public they track down and test his patients from Health Department made an the last seven years unannounced visit to his Bath Street office and discovered that “standard infection control precautions” were not taking place, health officials said. Officials are now in the process of notifying all of Thomashefsky’s patients who received injections from him in the past seven years. Thomashefsky specializes in prolotherapy, a pain-relief injection therapy. His office was closed March 19 as part of Public Health’s investigation, and it remains closed. The Oregon Medical board has also ordered Thomashefsky to cease administering prolotherapy injections at another clinic he owns in Ashland, Oregon. Santa Barbara Public Health says it is informing patients of the possible risks and where to go for testing. — Indy Staff
laura’s law
If Santa Barbara were to experience the same drop in governmental expenditures generated by such patients as happened in Nevada County—the first in California to embrace Laura’s Law— the county would save more than $4 million. County officials are quick to counter that Nevada County is tiny and rural compared to Santa Barbara and can hardly be considered a reliable indicator. Still, administrators acknowledge they would save $62,000 per person per year for Santa Barbara’s top 10 Laura’s Law contenders —people who’ve been hospitalized twice in 36 months for serious mental illness or jailed once in 48 months for a violent offense—and $50,000 per person per year for the top 75. These savings, however, assume that the full complement of “wrap-around” services called for under Laura’s Law are in place and in effect. Currently, they are neither. Skeptics of Laura’s Law insist there’s no evidence to substantiate the persuasive powers attributed to judicial intervention; they insist studies demonstrate the same benefits can be derived without getting the courts involved. Lynne Gibbs isn’t buying it. “With Laura’s Law, county mental health must treat them,” she said. “They can’t be ignored just because they don’t come into an office seeking treatment.” 12

On the table was a full-fledged Laura’s Law effort targeting 75 individuals that would have cost $2.2 million a year and a cheaper, smaller three-year pilot project that would have involved only 10 individuals at a cost of $630,000. Despite the insistence of almost everyone to the contrary, money is an issue. The reason that many counties throughout California are now adopting Laura’s Law is because in 2013, the State Legislature passed a bill allowing such programs to be paid for with proceeds of Proposition 63, the 2004 statewide ballot initiative imposing a tax on millionaires to fund mental-health programs. Earlier this year, Santa Barbara County mental-health officials concluded an exhaustive community deliberation to divvy up those funds. Even if the supervisors adopted the 10-person pilot program, that money would have to be taken from a mental-health initiative that’s already been funded. The supervisors voted to revisit the issue of Laura’s Law later, but only after examining the progress Gleghorn has made in reforming her department sometime within the year. Supervisors Doreen Farr and Salud Carbajal supported enacting Laura’s Law. Supervisors Steve Lavagnino, Peter Adam, and Janet Wolf voted against. n

T
by N i c k W e l s h wo of the five plaintiffs who successfully sued the City of Santa Barbara to adopt district elections have indicated their intention to run for the one open council seat that will represent the city’s Eastside: Jacqueline Inda and Sebastian Aldana. Although potential candidates have until July to file their intention to run, there’s been a scramble among the activist base to identify possible competitors for what appears to be the only seriously contested race for the three council seats up for grabs this November. Inda, who runs a business as a process server, became politically engaged in the fight against the proposed gang injunction. She’s also been outspoken in her opposition to the proposed Eastside Business Improvement District, participating in the PODERled protest in front of El Bajio restaurant, whose owner supports the business district. “I was born in this neighborhood,” Inda said. “This is where I call home.” Joining Inda in
the fray is fellow litigant Sebastian Aldana, who has served on the Neighborhood Advisory Council for three years and was on the Franklin Neighborhood Advisory Council for five years prior. Aldana was founding member of the Milpas Community Association but was expelled by the board after he joined the district elections lawsuit. This November, the Eastside, Westside, and Mesa districts will be up for election. Of those, the Eastside and Westside have Latino majorities. Incumbent Councilmember Cathy Murillo is seeking reelection from the Westside; incumbent Councilmember Randy Rowse, who lives on the Mesa, seeks reelection there. This Tuesday the council approved paying an additional $78,088 to Barry Cappello, the attorney representing the plaintiffs. Cappello had already been paid $599,500 in compensation for legal fees and expenses, and the new payment— described sardonically by Councilmember Randy Rowse as “a tip”—will bring the total n to $677,588.
steam Flooding for oil?
P
by ly z h o F F m a N utting months of rumors to rest, Bakersfield-based Aera Energy turned in its application to the county’s Planning department last week to drill hundreds of wells on the company’s East Cat Canyon Oil Field property near Santa Maria. The proposal — which will likely involve years of review — is for 296 wells, 141 of which would extract oil and 107 of which would inject steam 3,000 feet underground to thin and free the crude. The remaining 48 would be a combination of observation wells (to monitor the underground goings-on), non-potable water wells, water-injection wells, and freshwater wells, which wouldn’t be used for operations but for fire protection and dust control. Known as steam flooding, Aera’s drilling process differs slightly from the increasingly popular cyclic steam injection method. An industry heavy-hitter in California and across the country, Aera, which is owned by affiliates of Shell and ExxonMobil, hasn’t operated in Santa Barbara County before but produces in Kern, Fresno, Ventura, and Monterey counties. Its oil field here previ-
ously belonged to Shell and was transferred to Aera upon the company’s creation in 1997. “Aera Energy looks forward to being a long-term partner in Santa Barbara County,” said the company’s public affairs project manager, Susan Hersberger. “This project will safely and responsibly produce domestic energy supplies while protecting the environment and providing jobs, tax revenue, and community support.” If all goes as planned, production could start in 2020, although construction would occur incrementally over 10 years. Aera joins two other area operators submitting new applications to the county. Pacific Coast Energy Company (PCEC) is vying to double its 96 cyclic-steaming-well project, and ERG Operating Company has requested to drill another 233 cyclic-steaming wells. Aera — along with PCEC, ERG, and other Santa Barbara County companies —poured money into fighting Measure P last year, donating more than $3 million to the statewide industry group Californians for Energy Independence and more than $22,000 to the regional anti-P campaign. n independent.com

When Good Dogs Do Bad Things
THE FERGUSON EFFECT: You at least have to give the Coast Guard an “A” for effort. Too bad it didn’t work. I’m referring to the team of badass special ops the Coast Guard dispatched from Long Beach on April 8 to throw down against members of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club as they partook of their traditional Wet Wednesday race. We are led to believe that the Coast Guard was merely intent on enforcing a 500-yard buffer around the latest of 27 behemoth cruise ships that will anchor offshore this year. Some Wet Wednesday racers have charged they had mounted machine guns pointed at them by Coast Guard crew. For the record, the Coast Guard insists all mounted machine guns were pointed skyward at all times. The event was unusual for a lot of reasons: No one remembers the Coast Guard providing this protection to a cruise ship before; no one ever heard of a 500-yard buffer before; and no one working the waterfront was notified by the Coast Guard that the 500-yard buffer had become law of the land. We are to believe that escalated concern over possible terrorist attacks precipitated this incident. There are more people in a given cruise ship, reporters were told sotto voce, than all the people killed during 9/11. The term “soft target,” likewise, has been much bandied about. I get it; three weeks ago, the ersatz city of Solvang, with its picturesque windmills — no, it’s not a town of miniature golf courses — was put on Red Alert in response to an alleged
threat by the terrorist group ISIS. It turns out one of 100 U.S. armed service members ISIS put on its death list had family in Solvang. The idea of evildoers from ISIS going to the land of aebleskivers — apple-cinnamon balls dipped in pancake batter, deep-fried, and drizzled with liquid cheesecake — would be hilarious unless, of course, it was your name on the list. Solvang hadn’t seen so much law ’n’ order heat since last fall when four Bakersfield bunco artists sought to put counterfeit $100 bills into general circulation by placing multiple orders for aebleskivers. It should be obvious to all that the Coast Guard was really attempting to subvert the escalating national dialogue now erupting over excessive use of force by police agencies. It’s become the story. You can’t pick up a newspaper or turn on the news without seeing yet another victim — pulverized, shot, or both — of what’s clinically referred to as “contagious violence” by law enforcement officers. That’s what happens to people — like 25-year-old Baltimore resident Freddie Gray — who make the mistake of running from cops. Initial accounts indicate that Gray’s spinal cord was 80 percent severed and his larynx crushed because the cops he encountered don’t like it when suspects try to flee. Gray, who had been popped twice recently for minor drug crimes, became the latest fatality incurred for “running while black.” If you’re white, it all started with Ferguson. If you’re not, all this qualifies as old news. Either way,
thanks to smartphones, no cop can give out a parking ticket now without the occasion being memorialized. By directing this unseemly display of military tumescence against the upper one percent — just say “Santa Barbara Yacht Club,” and you feel rich — the Coast Guard was hoping to demonstrate that all races and classes are at risk of random and capricious police action, not just the poor and nonwhites. The strategy, of course, failed. No one got shot, beaten, or keelhauled. Even though there were 61 boats in the water — ranging in size from 20-70 feet with crews of 2-20 — not one smartphone video of the outrage has yet to surface. As a result, the Ferguson Effect continues unabated. And for Santa Barbara Sheriff Bill Brown, the Ferguson Effect could seriously undermine his efforts to build a new north county jail, long the Holy Grail of the Sheriff’s Department. Two years ago, only crackpots, crooks, and people who stared too long at the sun doubted the bleeding urgency of building a new jail. Now, such ambivalence has become downright respectable. For the last 40 years, America has been locking people up and throwing away the key. With Ferguson, the pendulum is starting to swing the other way. For some, it’s a matter of justice; for others, it’s a matter of cost. Either way, the old way is no longer tenable. Ironically, Brown got further with the new jail than any of his predecessors because he could preach the touchy-feely gospel of anti-
recidivism better than they could. But with jail booking rates plummeting by 50 percent in response to Prop. 47, which misdemeanorized many crimes previously charged as felonies, even God-fearing right-wingers from North County have adopted a sternly skeptical “verify but trust” attitude with Brown, rather than the other way around. If the Fergusson wind is blowing hard in Brown’s face, he’s also done a poor job ingratiating himself with the Board of Supervisors. They’ve grown weary of what they describe as the “mushroom treatment,” in which Brown reportedly keeps them in the dark and smothers them with BS. Two weeks ago, the supes held a public spank-a-thon as they unceremoniously took Brown to the woodshed. Now, they want to hold a special board meeting devoted exclusively to the jail. The supes expressed exasperation that two weeks ago Brown estimated it would cost $58 million a year to operate the two jails but this week said it would be more than $60 million. And how many jail beds do we actually need? It used to be 1,200. Now it’s 900. Given the new jail will take at least $17 million away from other county departments per year, the supervisors want solid numbers. And we have yet to hear what provisions will be made for the mentally ill, a crucial component to any new hoosegow. In the meantime, steer clear of machinegun-mounted Coast Guard dinghies. And remember, when the going gets tough, the tough eat aebleskivers. — Nick Welsh

Measure Z Esprit
H
ere is what we believe to be true: Firefighters and paramedics are essential for our well-being; no one wants to pay increased taxes; we require structurally sound fire stations that serve all the community and the people who work and live there; and our community is worthy of an attractive, pragmatic building with requisite equipment. Measure Z is a $10.65 million general bond with a cost of less than $10 per $100,000 of assessed (not market) property value. If we do nothing, we limp along until a crisis occurs, buildings crumble, equipment deteriorates, and the community image becomes shabby. We are better than that, aren’t we? Inclusion of a citizen oversight committee in the bond measure was a deliberate action by the Fire Board to ensure responsible and efficient use of the money. We urge you to vote “yes” on Measure Z. Mail your ballot before May 5 to ensure our fire stations are ready for the community’s future needs. — Lisa Guravitz and Jane Benefield, Summerland

A community needs a balance of industry, retail, and housing. If the Santa Barbara region had that, we wouldn’t be seeing 20,000 cars per day driving in. The free market hasn’t been able to achieve this balance, so local planning needs to adjust incentives to bring this about.

he research on Critical Societies states:
The world is filled with superficiality, prejudice, bias, distortions, lies, deception, manipulation, short sightedness, close-mindedness … Yet humans have great capacity for rationality and reasonability. The history of human accomplishments, achievements and
contributions well documents this fact. … [W]hat comes first in terms of human tendencies, and often takes precedence, is an orientation focused on selfgratification, self-interest, self-protection. This perspective is innate … [s]till it leads to many problems and ultimately stands as a barrier to the development of fair minded critical societies. A group of Solvang School staff would like to present a fair-minded, objective statement of support for Superintendent Dr. John Karbula. In today’s ever-changing global society that places education and student performance at the forefront, the role of a school administrator has vastly increased in its demands. Solvang School has had five administrators in the past 10 years. Research states that principal/superintendent turnover adversely impacts schools. Dr. Karbula has successfully implemented improvements at Solvang School in just two and a half years as superintendent. He has improved teacher professional development, student academic measures, school finances, salary increases, student safety, and character development. We implore the School Board, parents, and community to please support our school in keeping the focus on our school’s success and achievements, and to work together as a school community, giving Dr. Karbula credit for his dedication, hard work, and capability in improving Solvang School and impacting student —Lynn Rosenberry achievement.

Hungry Day at Earth Day
ELECTRIC LEMONADE: After a hard stint manning The Santa Barbara Independent’s Earth Day booth Sunday, I was as thirsty as a wandering Sahara camel. So I made a beeline past the beekeeper booth and spotted a banner reading “Electric Lemonade.” There, Natalie Bovee, who can normally be seen at the Four Seasons Biltmore, whipped up a large cup of — well, I’m not sure. The Food Court program listed it as vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free/non-GMO (genetically modified food). Kind of gingery, too. Ice cubes swimming in it. It was absolutely delicious, and you’ll never find it in the Sahara. I didn’t get around to trying the “Paleo” dishes, which I understand relate to food our ancestors ate way back at the beginning of time, like dinosaur meat, etc. But hunger was overcoming me. I had a sudden yen for Mom’s good old American meat and potatoes, well-salted. What I found was Autostrada wood-fired sourdough pizza, available in vegan/vegetarian/organic/non-GMO (of course). I’m not sure what I ordered, but it was smoking hot, right out of the oven, loaded with veggies. I’d already eaten two cheese-and-veggie sandwiches back at the booth, so all I needed was something to top it all off. Passing up the Here’s the Scoop farm-to-scoop sorbet (vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free/organic/ non-GMO/fair trade), I opted for “sweet and
savory” S.B. Popcorn — and, you guessed it, pretty much all as above. Not your family’s TV popcorn but flavored with olive oil and other stuff, and so good that after Sierra Swanson sold me a $4 bag, I took it back to The Indy booth for the gang. They were munching it as I headed home with Sue. She was hungry.
DEATH BY CELL PHONE: You’ll probably never look at your cell phone the same way after seeing the current City College play, Dead Man’s Cell Phone. Jenna Scanlon plays a woman who’s baffled by odd goingson involving our society’s subservience to a device that heretofore was just plugged in and stayed in one place. Sarah Ruhl’s fantasy/ comedy/romance/social commentary gets excellent, surreal treatment by director Katie Laris. It’s being staged through May 2 by The Theatre Group at Santa Barbara City College. AS TIME GOES BY: In the classic movie Casablanca, a Carpinterian named Oliver Prickett played a waiter at the Blue Parrot café. But before that, he was the founder and manager of Carpinteria’s Plaza Playhouse Theater, which celebrates its 87th birthday on May 2. There’ll be a 5:30 p.m. reception, with appetizers and drinks and, of course, a 7 p.m. screening of my favorite movie of all time: Casablanca. And I’ll be in the audience. ($30 a person, $50 couple.)

Longtime Carpinteria resident Prickett, sometimes known as Oliver Blake, played in the Ma and Pa Kettle films, according to the Plaza folks. First named The Alcazar, the theater opened on April 27, 1928, with a live band and a comedy, The Fifty-Fifty Girl. Admission: $1.10. Henry J. Muller invested a cool half-million to build the place. Plaza Board President Melinda Bie claims that it’s the oldest continually operating theater between San Francisco and Los Angeles. And the old movie queen has lots of life left in her. Today, April 23, The Quebe Sisters — Grace, Sophia, and Hulda — will serve up hot Texas swing, blue grass, fiddling, and vintage country.
TRIPLE PLAY: It took two years to lure Mutter-Bronfman-Harrell to Santa Barbara, but it was well worth it. Thanks to the persistence of UCSB’s Arts & Lectures, a Granada Theatre audience witnessed a world-class concert by the internationally famous trio of violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, pianist Yefim Bronfman, and cellist Lynn Harrell on April 17, featuring Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. LISZT LIVES (SORT OF): Franz Liszt died a long time ago (1886), but as a very much alive Warren Jones played Liszt’s Liebestod arrangement from Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, you could almost imagine Liszt

Samuel Thomas Hurst, IV 09/23/20 – 04/10/15
Sam Hurst died peacefully at his home in Montecito on April 10 of natural causes. He was 94. Sam was born on September 23, 1920, in Fort Valley, Georgia, to Jule Brown Hunter and Samuel Thomas Hurst II. He graduated in architecture from Georgia Tech, where he led a campaign to change the educational system from the Beaux Artes tradition to Modernist. Lieutenant Hurst served in Naval Photographic Intelligence on Guadalcanal in WWII, discovering an enemy airfield under construction that was subsequently destroyed. He earned his wings as an aircraft carrier pilot. He then studied with Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Gropius, as mentor and lifelong friend, influenced Sam to devote himself to education with the spirit of the Bauhaus. He worked in the private sector, taught at Tulane and Georgia Tech and became the youngest Dean of Architecture and Fine Arts at Auburn University. From 1961-1973 he was Dean of Architecture and Fine Arts at the University of Southern California. He was a Fellow of the AlA and brought his vision of education to the school along with many cutting-edge architects as faculty and guests. He designed the new School of Architecture Building on campus. He also saved the Gamble House, now a historic Pasadena landmark, from
demolition. He gained national and international prominence through his writing and speaking and as Chair of the National Architecture Accrediting Board. Sam had a missionary spirit leading him to champion the social good. He was proudest of being known as “the conscience of the Council of Deans”. He believed love and service were most important. He was a founder of Architects, Designers and Planners for Social Responsibility. After he resigned his Deanship, he continued to teach, retiring in 1990. He moved to Montecito and Santa Ynez. He was a founding Board Member of the Sustainability Project, on the Board of The Fund for Santa Barbara, active in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and in his profession. Sam was a true Southern Gentleman who loved music and dancing (he was known as the dancing dean), politics, nature (especially trees) and hunting birds, photography and was an avid tennis player into his nineties. His spirit will live on in the hearts of his family, many friends and former students. He made a difference. Sam is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Lillian Gershenson Carson; his 3 stepchildren, Susan Gevirtz, Steve Gevirtz and Carrie Gevirtz Wicks; and 6 step-grandchildren. He is also survived by his first wife, Melinda Hurst; their 3 children, Lian Hurst Mann, Sam Hurst V, and Mindy Askin; 4 grandchildren and 3 greatgrandchildren; and a brother, John Hurst. We want to honor his caretakers who gave love and care beyond measure: Omar Jimenez and Maria Lopez. At his request there will be no service. Donations in his memory may be made to Life Chronicles, 113 W. Mission Street, Santa Barbara 93101 or Visiting Nurses and Hospice Care, 509 E. Montecito Street, #200, Santa Barbara 93103

Richard Langley Schall 10/27/29 – 4/18/15
Richard Langley Schall, greatly loved and respected husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, died April 18, 2015, from complications due to pancreatic cancer. Several months before he died, Dick was asked what he thought might happen to him after death. He replied in characteristic Dick Schall fashion. He was absolutely, positively sure of one thing: he didn’t know. Dick was one-of-a-kind: extremely admired and driven businessman; acutely prescient investor; avid collector of antique clocks and fancy cars; unparalleled practical joker; competitive tennis, golf, and bridge player; and collector of watches that were “genuine fakes.” He was an expert advice-giver (even when you didn’t know you were looking for it.) His advice had a profound impact on many, particularly his children and grandchildren: “When you first meet someone, give them a firm handshake and look them straight in the eye”; “If you have something important to say, say it, even if it may not be popular”; “Moderation is the key.” “Drive defensively.” “You make your money on the buy.” “To thine own self be true.” He was a much-esteemed man of many strengths, with one characteristic that overshadowed all others: He was magnificently in love with his wife of 64 years, Maryan Strathy Schall. His love for Maryan was so deeply felt that he professed it many times a day... to her... and to anyone else within earshot. “You are so wonderful;” “Look at that beautiful lady”; “Mom takes such good care of me”; “I love you so much.” He never missed a chance to declare his love for her, no matter how public the occasion. Dick credited Maryan as his rock as he worked his way up the corporate ladder. He began his career as a grain buyer at General Mills in 1952. When he left General Mills in 1969, he was the VP of Finance & Development. He then joined MGM Motion Pictures as Executive Vice President and Board Director. From there he went to Wall Street, as Vice President-Finance of Donaldson, Lufkin, Jenrette. He returned to Minneapolis in 1971 as Chairman,
CEO & Director of Josten’s. His final corporate post: Chief Administrative Officer and Vice Chairman of the Dayton Hudson Corporation (now known as Target). Dick “retired” in 1985 at the age of 55—retired being a bit of a misnomer: he was as involved in and passionate about life as a retiree as he was while a corporate leader. He was vitally interested in corporate governance and was a valued board member of numerous corporations, including Medtronic, Ecolab, Meritex/Space Center, US Bancorp, First Trust, Viacom, Parker Bros., Tonka Toys, and CTL Credit. Dick was one of the first four inductees into the Minnesota Corporate Board of Directors Hall of Fame. He also served on numerous nonprofit boards, such as Macalester College (two terms as Chair), University of Minnesota School of Management (Chair), Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Hazen Foundation, Elings Park, See International, Channel City Club, Santa Barbara Foundation Finance Committee, and Direct Relief’s Board of Governors. He was honored for Meritorious and Distinguished Service by Macalester College in 2012. Dick and Maryan were greatly respected philanthropists, in both Minneapolis and Santa Barbara, and had the distinct honor of being awarded Santa Barbara’s “Philanthropists of the Year” in 2003. Perhaps Dick’s greatest philanthropic gift to Santa Barbara was his recent partnership role in restoring the Courthouse tower clock. Dick Schall brought great gusto and a competitive spirit to everything with which he was involved. He was a man of commitment, and his four children are deeply grateful for all that his passion taught them. In addition to his loving wife, Maryan, Dick is survived by his son, David (Patty); daughters Caryn (Jeff), Janny (Geoff), and Dawn (Doug); eight grandchildren who love him dearly: Becca, Meg, David, Molly, Andy, Nick, Eric, and Tucker; and his sister, Lois (Ted.) They will all miss his energy, wit, and wise counsel more than words can express. He set the bar high and was a role model for many. Rest in peace, Dear Dick, Darling, Dad, Buppa, Grampa. And thank you. For everything. An informal celebration of Dick’s life will be held in Santa Barbara on Sunday, April 26, 4:00 at Birnam Wood Golf Club, and in Minneapolis on Monday, June 8, 4:00 at the Minikahda Club. Memorial gifts may be made to Sansum Clinic, Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, and Casa Dorinda Medical Center. Arrangements by McDermottCrockett Mortuary.
Sylvia Valenzuela 02/16/26 – 04/18/15
Sylvia was born February 16, 1926, in London, England, to Leonard (Pop) and Hannah (Nan) Lee, and peacefully passed away on April 18, 2015. She met her husband, Frank Valenzuela, during his stationing in England during WWII. After a whirlwind courtship with her GI, they were married on Valentine’s Day 1946. After the war, they settled with his family in Santa Barbara. In a few years Sylvia’s parents followed her to the States. Her husband opened a moving and storage business, and Sylvia worked for many years as the office manager. She did take some time off to have 2 children, Roland and Duane. Once Frank sold the company, he joined Sambo’s and after completing their program, ran several restaurants from L.A. to New York. As usual, Sylvia jumped right in and became a waitress and hostess working right alongside of him. After Frank retired, Sylvia began another career in banking working for 3 different banks over a period of 15 years. When her husband passed away in 1990, she continued to work for several years before finally retiring. Even as her health failed her in recent years, she could still vividly tell stories of Jolly old England, as well as tales of the war as they took cover during the many air raids that they faced. She always had her dry English wit and that special twinkle in her eyes when she was pulling your leg. She is survived by her son, Roland, his wife, Sue of Santa Barbara, and their two children, Shalene and her husband, Jeff of Missoula MT, and son Paul of Santa Barbara and also her son Duane of El Dorado Hills, CA and his daughter, Sydney, who is currently attending UC Santa Cruz. Graveside services to be held on April 28 at 11 AM at the Santa Barbara Cemetery. The family requests that in lieu of flowers please make a donation to one of the many organizations trying to fight and find cures for Diabetes or Parkinson’s.

harles Lloyd plays by his own rules —
whether it’s blowing on sax with bluesman Howlin’ Wolf in Memphis while in high school or attending USC in the late ’50s by day while jamming with L.A. jazz greats by night or blasting off to rock star fame in the ’60s with the likes of the Grateful Dead, Cream, and Janis Joplin. Lloyd continued his own journey when he suddenly disappeared from the music scene in the late ’60s — at the height of his popular success — to watch hawks soar over Big Sur and to nurture his spirit. When Lloyd … slowly … emerged from Big Sur in the mid-’70s, it was to move to Santa Barbara: first by living part-time at Beach Boy Mike Love’s Montecito beach house and then moving permanently to the hills of Montecito in the ’80s. Since then, from what he describes as his “laboratory and ashram” close by the Vedanta Temple where he worships, Lloyd expanded his vision. For the last 30 years, he has performed around the world on tenor saxophone, flute, and Hungarian tárogató and made 17 records of extraordinary range, including his Wild Man Dance suite, released last week on Blue Note Records to enthusiastic international reviews. On Monday, April 20, Lloyd was inducted as a 2015 Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts, the “highest honor that our nation bestows on jazz artists,” according to the NEA. On a recent Saturday at home, just 24 hours after the New York Times had published a long, flattering profile and featured

politan Museum of Art. Sitting in his kitchen, though, Lloyd was serene, not excited. “I don’t live in excitement like that. My approach to excitement is that that stuff leads to expectations, and expectations can ruin many a great joy,” he said. “Basically what is going on with me is that I live in the now. I don’t get into future.” This Thursday, April 23, in San Francisco, Lloyd kicks off a four-night stand with three different bands: first the “Wild Man Dance Suite” ensemble made up of American, Greek, and Hungarian musicians; second his main working New Quartet with Jason Moran (piano), Reuben Rogers (bass), and Eric Harland (drums); and third, Charles Lloyd and Friends, featuring cosmic guitarist Bill Frisell. Lloyd then brings Charles Lloyd and Friends, including Frisell, to his annual residency at the Lobero Theatre on Tuesday, April 28. “I like playing here at home,” Lloyd said. “The people who are inviting us — they care. It’s like that.” Lloyd has had a busy spring. In New York in March, on his 77th birthday, he rocked the Village Vanguard with the New Quartet, to more gushing ink in the New York Times. A documentary, Arrows into Infinity, released on DVD last year about Lloyd, just became available on iTunes. It’s codirected and coproduced by Jeffery Morse and, crucially, by Dorothy Darr, the painter, filmmaker, photographer, and architect who is Lloyd’s longtime partner and business manager. After the

Lobero gig, Lloyd will headline festivals across the U.S. and Europe, starting with the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on May 2. On that recent Saturday, Lloyd had just finished off a cold smoothie and was wearing a thick jacket and a knit cap against the resulting chill when we first met. He was “looking for the right zone,” he said, which is where he wants to be whether engrossed in a solo onstage or when talking to The Santa Barbara Independent at home. Lloyd’s home with Darr, designed by her, is amazing: Beyond the walls filled with artworks, many by Darr herself, beyond the grand piano and the resting sax, through soaring living room windows, across parched grass, lay a vertiginous view of the Santa Barbara coastline and islands. Lloyd signaled that we should sit at the kitchen table so we could see the harbor view as we talked. Lloyd has an expressive voice, and he usually answers with an opening motif, inventive riffing, modulation to related concepts, and then, engagingly, resolution to the original question.

Like everyone, the drought is on his mind. Lloyd is a “water guy,” he said, starting with his birth in Memphis during a flood. Arrows into Infinity features long cuts of ocean waves, rivulets across pavement, and bright orange fish swimming. “It hurts,” he said of the drought, which is particularly bad in the aquifers underlying Montecito.“When we moved up here, there was a creek that ran year-round. Things like that are big concerns for me — our environment.” “I’m not going to solve this,” he continued, “but I want to make a sound universe that can transform things. That’s what I’m working on. I would be a hypocrite if I just told you that we have to make a plan, because I’m getting ready to go out there and get on a whole bunch of fossil-fuel airplanes.”
nea Jazz MasTer
The 2015 NEA Jazz Master Award likewise contains crosscurrents. Given Lloyd’s intense, international composing, performing, and recording, he’s not contemplating victory laps on the lifetime achievement circuit. His universalistic music transcends “Jazz” in the popular sense. The NEA is government, which Lloyd bypassed during the Cold War to perform in the USSR at the invitation of Soviet artists. Lloyd, however, appreciates validation, and he’s sensitive to having been overlooked. “I learned a long time ago that I would have to be able to endow my own creativity,” he said with a catch, quietly looking at the harbor, “and, in so knowing, and in so doing, I never held my breath for the gold-plated watch because I didn’t expect it; but when it does come like this thing [the NEA award], it’s an honor because of the company that I keep, like Miles, Ornette, Sonny Rollins, Wayne.” Lloyd pondered ageism in institutional arts since Moran, 40, his principal working pianist, received about $500,000 from a MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” in 2010 “to do what you want,” while the NEA Fellowship is much less and is awarded to older musicians. This year, the musicians inducted with Lloyd are jazz composer, pianist, and leader Carla Bley, 78, and composer, hard bop saxophonist, and leader George Coleman, 80. “To at least be considered in your lifetime, in a culture that hasn’t been very kind to its artists because of the setup of the world, it’s a great honor,” Lloyd said, slowly. “My spiritual practice is about nonattachment and to beware of cravings. I learned to sublimate that stuff and not be chasing that thing. So, of course, it’s great.”

Lloyd’s performance at the seminal 1966 Monterey Jazz Festival was released as Forest Flower, with Lloyd in full cry on his tenor on the bright-yellow album cover. Backed by some of the best jazz musicians ever (Keith Jarrett, piano; Cecil McBee, bass; and Jack DeJohnette, drums), the record caught the business comet, sold more than a million copies, and created a ’60s cultural “moment” for boomers before the decade turned dark. Lloyd and his band were virtuosos, and their cross-rhythms, complex progressions, and deep experimentation blew away those of psychedelic rockers. Lloyd’s image was broadly inclusive, intelligent, and post-racial. What was it like, though, for Lloyd before he became a totem of the Woodstock nation, when, as a teen, with a “gendarme” on his tail, he left

segregated Memphis to attend the crew-cut University of Southern California in the late 1950s? “The life on campus was all white and very strange; I was the invisible man,” remembered Lloyd, in a nod to Ralph Ellison, “but I was a philosopher, so I could see quickly what was going on.” When he was leaving Memphis, he received offers from USC fraternities to rent rooms in their houses during the summer before he began his freshman year. Solicited, that is, until he showed up. Within USC’s School of Music, he faced resistance.“I had this big fantasy dream; I wanted to integrate Bartók with Duke Ellington and all kinds of Charlie Parker stuff, and I had to make these correlations between J.S. Bach and Charlie Parker. No one really had any interest in any of that, so I realized that I was in the wrong place, but for my parents, I stayed.” “Education was the ticket” that Lloyd’s “black middle-class family” emphasized, where you had to graduate from college, which he did in 1960.“But I was bit by the cobra, so it was too late for me to not play music,” he said.
Lloyd escaped into the jam sessions of L.A. during a historically fertile period. “There was great music everywhere, so I played all the time. I did a duality thing [with campus life],” he said. “I hung out with Ornette, Billy Higgins, and Scott LaFaro, a close friend; Gerald Wilson had a big band, and so we all played in that, too. There were a lot of sessions, a lot of places to go. We had a beautiful community.” A coda is that about 10 years ago, USC called on Lloyd in Santa Barbara to solicit a life estate contribution of his compound to a USC endowment. “Then upon my ascension, they could make it a think tank,” Lloyd recounted.“USC got excited, and the Dean of the School of Music wanted to meet me. It was a change over from when I was there.” But it didn’t work out. “We just had to agree to disagree,” Lloyd said a bit fiercely. “USC said they would have a building in my name. I don’t need a building in my name. That’s not what I need. I need to play this music, and I need to touch people’s hearts and spirits.”

The new reCord
His new record, Wild Man Dance, came about after Lloyd played the Jazztopad Festival in Wroclaw, in western Poland, in 2011. “They said that it was the best concert they ever had, and they commissioned me to write an orchestral-length work,” he said. “Wild Man Dance Suite” was composed by Lloyd during hikes and swims and “percolating” in Santa Barbara before he returned to Wroclaw to perform its world premiere in late 2013. In addition to the American jazz musicians — Gerald Clayton, pianist; Joe Sanders, bassist; and Gerald Cleaver, drummer — Lloyd’s backing group included Sokratis Sinopoulos, of Greece, playing the bowed lyra, and Miklós Lukács, of Hungary, on cimbalom, a large frame hammered dulcimer. “I wrote this music, and I heard it at home, and I played it for Dorothy, and the musicians heard it, and we went on the journey,” he said, “so we got blessed, you know — that is what that was. The audience was ready to receive it.” In “Flying over the Odra Valley,” the first of Wild Man Dance’s six movements, Sinopoulos on lyra bows an ancient folk melody high over the abstract intervals of Lukács’s cimbalom. Lloyd waits … and then joins after three minutes with a tender melody that he develops around a modal core over unsettling piano chords, bass, and drumming. Sanders’s bass follows with an earthy solo, and Clayton then solos with dissonant chords. A rhythmic storm builds. Lloyd returns, flying above the tumult. The suite flows to “Gardner” with beautiful melodies from the lyra supported by piano and bass. Lloyd blows long meditative lines, adding energy and space, moving forward in ever-more-emotive phrases, soft, uplifting, climbing higher. In “Lark,” Clayton’s piano sets the scene with block chords. The lyra’s plaintive melody is harmonized by bowed bass and supported by cimbalom arpeggios and the drums lightly tapping. Lloyd waits again as dissonance builds, this time for six minutes, and then piles on, pulling and pushing. A
dramatic piano solo transitions to swinging 4/4 time, complete with walking bass and Clayton channeling McCoy Tyner to Lloyd’s Coltrane. “River” is the most accessible movement in this era of download and subscription. Clayton’s transition previews the chart, and Lloyd opens with a riff as memorable as any in music recently. After solid complementary B and C sections, Lloyd steps out with a tight swinging solo that’s straight from Memphis. Clayton’s piano, Sanders’s bass, and Cleaver’s drums follow with inventive solos. The rhythm then moves essentially to a four-beat rock groove. Lukács, in a highlight of the entire work, elevates over the three-chord vamp with an extraordinary cimbalom solo. Lloyd returns, tosses the opening melody around with Clayton, and ends the movement triumphantly. “Invitation” returns the beautiful bowed lyra over harmonized bowed bass, with the piano joining for a trio and the percussion making it a quartet. Lloyd again is patient and lets his musicians jam, coming in finally with long pastoral lines against unresolved chords that gradually increase in intensity before he plays a sensitive outro. In the final movement, the namesake for Wild Man Dance, Lloyd comes in with a whisper, evoking earlier melodies, before playing the theme in a soft Lester Young tone. The rhythm section responds with broad support. Lukács hammers broad angles on the cimbalom, interlocked wonderfully with Cleaver’s drums. Lloyd restates briefly. Sinopoulos’s lyra — propelled by a driving bass line and locked drums — soars on an extended improvisation: Jimi Hendrix and Stéphane Grappelli and Vassar Clements. Lloyd retakes control initially with a Middle Eastern vibe leading to free association among musicians, and then Lloyd brings the entire 74-minute work to a gentle close, to festival applause. Lloyd is in superb form, and the band sounds great. The cimbalom and the lyra provide vital colors. The recording quality is excellent. This sounds weird, but, when first listening to Lloyd’s first solo on Wild Man Dance, I felt Santa Barbara Pride similar to watching local Katy Perry nail February’s Super Bowl halftime performance.

Lloyd said “he’s not good enough to quit yet.” So, what’s next? “I have lots of stuff going on, but nothing I can report to you,” he said officially. “What I’m working on, these sounds and these tones that are coming to me, I don’t have words … I can play it.” Lloyd took me up some stairs to his rooftop and into a beautiful workspace with sweeping views of the channel. “I want you to hear something,” and he fiddled with tiny track lists on a laptop hooked to killer speakers. Click: An opera swelled through the room. Whoops. He clicked it off. “I’m an opera guy,” he said. “I listen to the Met on Saturdays.” Click: an old blues snippet. (“Oh, why my baby, why? Ooohhh…”). He clicked the laptop again. Out of the speakers came Jason Moran, speaking from the stage of the Village Vanguard performance in March, introducing Lloyd’s band: “Sometimes you do things to realize your dreams,” Moran says,“and this is realizing a dream tonight to play on a stage with Charles Lloyd, Eric Harland, and Ruben Rogers.” Lloyd’s New Quartet launches immediately into descending lines, following Lloyd on sax. Moran takes a solo on piano with cascading chords, the bass and drums instantly responding. I glanced over, and Lloyd had a gigantic smile.

Join us for a lively conversation with the influential author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Cooked, In Defense of Food and The Botany of Desire.
He raised his voice above the speakers to say that he went to Poland with six movements of the “Wild Man Dance Suite,” but this is a seventh movement, not recorded in Wroclaw. “I didn’t take it because I didn’t think it was completed,” he said. “When I got back from touring and recording over there, and I played it to myself, it was pristine. During the time I was gone, it became complete. So what you are looking for is looking for you.” Lloyd’s sax returns after Moran’s solo, like an animal gliding out of the trees in a European forest. It picks up pace, and a secondary theme emerges. The rest of his quartet is instantly there. Lloyd is leading some of the finest musicians in the world into new territories, with no concessions to being an elder statesman, with no boundaries, with no rules but his own.

Earth Day’s Big Tiny
Nature
Meet
Mr. Sphinx Moth
The winged beast sneaked into our kitchen with a surprisingly loud flutter, like an errant hummingbird, and it took my wife a couple hurried shrieks to get it into a stemless wine glass. “Hurry,” she said. “It’s strong.” Once it was safely outside, the kids stared, like us, in a m a ze m e nt at these intricately detailed wings, set against a flash of bright pink. This was Hyles lineata, the white-lined sphinx or hummingbird moth, and it was the first I’d ever seen it up close in my 37 years. “This species has boom years sometimes, especially in the deserts, where I’ve seen their caterpillars crossing the roads by the hundreds,” explained Mike Caterino, formerly the entomologist for the S.B. Museum of Natural History, now at Clemson University, “but it’s widespread and generally common any year.” Adults do visit flowers and hover to sip nectar with their long proboscis, hence the hummingbird moniker, but they’re strange for other reasons, too. “Most moths are strictly nocturnal, but Hyles doesn’t much care what time it is,” said Caterino. “They’ll fly during the day, at night, whenever it feels like it.” And away it flew into the afternoon sun, fast and strong, though still moth-like and goofy. — Matt Kettmann mat t Ket tmann

“This is all about doing it once and doing it right,” said Chris Silva (left) about his 185-square-foot tiny home, which was on display this weekend at the Earth Day Festival in Alameda Park. Silva and his fiancée, Karly Williams, built their custom home on wheels so that they could have their own space even with student loans looming over their heads. With the help of architect Justin Najjar-Keith (right), the home, which is about a month into the building phase, features birch walls, brushed-metal window frames, reclaimed hardwood floors, and a king-sized loft. “This is so much more fun than what I usually work on,” said Najjar-Keith, who usually works on large government projects. “There’s not as much paperwork and hoops to jump through.” Once the project is finished being built here in Santa Barbara, the two will park their home near UC Davis, where Williams will attend medical school. Follow the project’s progress at sustainableobtainable.com.
Lecture
Michael Pollan’s Food for Thought
ur biggest problem as eaters is that we’re thoughtless,” believes Michael Pollan (pictured). “We don’t know how the food we eat connects us with the world.” That’s something the journalist and best-selling book author (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, The Botany of Desire) seeks to amend, to help us all “become more conscious about eating decisions, because they have a profound effect on land, people, the atmosphere.” Despite his bleak discoveries, Pollan remains optimistic about the possibility of a change in attitudes and consequently society, a message he brings to the Granada Theatre on Thursday, April 30, at 8 p.m. (See arts andlectures.sa.ucsb.edu or call 893-3535 for tickets.) He recently answered some questions from his home in Berkeley. How can we effect change in something as powerful as corporate farming? Public
awareness of the poor treatment of farm animals has led to a lot of pressure being put on the meat industry to change, because of consumers who are disgusted or offended by those practices. Choosing meat from farms that use sustainable processes is one way to express your feelings about that, a way that may have an effect. The meat industry is terrified at losing customers.
Why is there a constant onslaught of new food fads? In the U.S., we don’t have a culture of food. It’s
harder to convince Italians or French to revolutionize their food. They still have [the centuries-old] duck confit on the menu; so we’re vulnerable to changes in fashion. Certainly, it would be harder to find glutenfree fans in France or Italy than it is here. The second reason is that marketing has a very dramatic effect. [More] than $30 billion is spent each year to market food to us, and it’s very effective. There are always new products, and they change the way we eat. There’s nothing to stabilize us. We’re an immigrant country without a food culture. The [demographics] change with every generation, and that makes us very unusual in the world, and very vulnerable. fran collin

What are you growing in your garden? In my winter
garden, I love growing lots of potatoes. Right now, though, I’m clearing up the garden so that I can plant summer crops. I ripped out a lot of old kale so I can replant, so I now have younger kale and fava beans and lettuce and spinach, celery and arugula, and other greens. Even in Berkeley, though, it’s cool in the summer, so the only kind of tomatoes I can grow are cherry tomatoes. — Carol Douglass

International hacking expert Giovanni Vigna (pictured), who runs UCSB’s Center for CyberSecurity as a professor in the Computer Science Department, will discuss The Evolution of Malware (or Ninja Malware Attack!) on April 28, at 4 p.m., on the eighth floor of the campus library. His talk is the latest in the Davidson Library’s Pacific Views: Library Speaker Series, which gives faculty and graduate students a place to share their research for free to the public. “In speaking with faculty, assistant deans, and program coordinators across campus, the library learned that there is a desire among UCSB faculty to reach audiences outside of their departments and to connect with the greater Santa Barbara community,” said Karen Lindell, who added that the top-floor room features “gorgeous views of the ocean and mountains.” See library .ucsb.edu. — MK

Eat Fresh to Support School Gardens
M
ake kids eat vegetables, and you win a small battle; but teach them how to grow a garden, and you win the war. That’s the premise behind Explore Ecology’s school garden program, whose 35 gardens from Guadalupe to Carpinteria — tended to by 15 teachers and more than 8,000 students — make it the largest effort of its kind in the United States. Inherited from the Orfalea Foundation’s Let’s Grow! program in January 2014, the Santa Barbara–based Explore Ecology (also parent of Art from Scrap) is actively expanding and enhancing the gardens to ensure, as coordinator Alex Bereda put it, “that 20 years from now, our children are still learning in these beautiful gardens.” He answered our questions last week, in anticipation of a farm-to-table fundraiser at Bragg Organic Farm on Saturday, April 25, 2-6 p.m. See exploreecology .com for $75 tickets.
What’s distinct?
The fact that our program is a sustained experience is what sets us apart from other garden programs that provide one-off experiences. A student can plant a seed, care for it, study it, experiment on it, love it, watch it grow, sketch it, write a poem about it, measure it, and ultimately taste it. The garden is not a place they visit, but something that they own. What’s popular? All kids will say they love strawberries and watermelon; but seeing a kindergartner bite into a radish for the first time is priceless, and believe it or not, kale is a very popular veggie. A student is much more likely to experiment with new food if they grew it themselves. What’s funny? At La Patera School the other day, I watched a
1st-grade girl find a worm that she named Todd. She then went on to find many more worms and name them all. I also heard a student say, “It’s okay to get dirty. We are in the garden.” I love that. The garden provides them with the opportunity to get dirty, something that all kids instinctively want to do!
What’s surprising? How naturally kids settle into nature. Oftentimes, it’s the student who can’t sit still and focus in the classroom who becomes the most engaged in the garden. They use these gardens as outdoor classrooms; the garden is not a break in their studies, but a whole new way to learn. — MK

Pacific Pride Royal Ball
Education
EMCEEING THE ROYAL BALL: The hilarious Jane Lynch will run Pacific Pride Foundation’s Royal Ball this weekend, which honors the gay-rights work of married couple Don Roos and Dan Bucatinsky. A story on their lives can be found at independent.com/pride.
J
ane Lynch said some of the most offensive lines in television history as Sue Sylvester, cheerleading coach on the award-winning show Glee, which just wrapped its six-season run March 20. For example, “I don’t trust a man with curly hair,” she once told the choir teacher. “I can’t help picturing small birds laying sulfurous eggs in there, and I find it disgusting.” Although the clever dialogue was penned by show co-creater/writer Ian Brennan, it was Lynch’s straight-faced, deliberate delivery that brought it to life and made what could have been the most despised character a fan favorite. I recently spoke over the phone with the actor— actor who is personable, polite, and quick to laugh — in anticipation of her April 25 visit to Santa Barbara, when she’ll host Pacific Pride’s annual Royal Ball fundraiser.
The show was out of the box in terms of characters. What was great about it is that [Ryan Mur-
phy] actually went archetypal when he created it, and you put good actors in kind of like an archetype, and then you’ve got great living, breathing people that kids can relate to. There was someone in that choir room that you could identify with, maybe even several, and maybe it changed from week to week. You guys were very brave to let him pick at you like that. And he went right for the jugular, too
[laughs] — and not in a mean way. He’s the nicest man in the world. Everybody loves him, so only he could get away with it.
Jane
In Conversation with
How did you become the host for this year’s Royal Ball? Don Roos and Dan Buca-
Lynch
tinsky are very good friends of mine, and they are being honored at the ball. I was going to support them anyway, and then they asked me to emcee, which I was happy to do. I have worked with Pacific Pride before. They are a great organization.
How was ending Glee? Well, the last three days it kind of hit us; we started doing a countdown, as it were. We knew at the beginning of the season that we only had 13 left, so we were kind of prepared for it, but it was still very emotional— emotional a chapter in all of our lives we will never forget. The lines your character got to say were brilliant. Ian Brennan is the brilliant writer who wrote
almost everything that came out of my mouth. He created me. I am his Frankenstein.
How was it playing a character that wasn’t particularly well-liked? She was loved. [Laughs.]
She ended up being beloved, and I think that’s because she’s not dangerous; she’s ridiculous. I think there is a little Sue Sylvester in everyone. She says the things everybody wishes they could say and then are really glad they never did.
4·1·1 ball.com.
You’ve played serious roles, funny roles, you’ve been on every show I love — 3rd Rock from the Sun, Psych. How did that come about? I don’t know. I
didn’t plan it. It just happened. Any time anyone asks me for advice, I say, “Don’t plan. Don’t have goals. Just stay open and keep working and try to keep having fun.” Truly, I think that’s the key to it.
Is there any type of role you would particularly like to play? No, because I have no goals.
[Laughs.] It will come to me, the one that I’m supposed to play. I belabor too much going, “What’s next?”
Has the industry changed for women, gays, minorities? I don’t look outside in. I really don’t. All
I have is my personal experience, and it doesn’t matter. I know in the old days, it was people like Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, and k.d. lang and all those people who at the height of their careers said, yes, I’m gay, and took that chance, and kudos to them.
Are you already on to other things? Yes. I just finished shooting a pilot for CBS called Angel from Hell, and I just did 10 episodes of Hollywood Game Night that will air July 7. … I have a cabaret show that I’m touring around the country. I’m going to be in Beverly Hills on May 1. We’ve been looking into coming up there, too, so we might be at a theater near you. It’s called See Jane Sing Sing, and I’m touring it all over the country. — Michelle Drown

Go Fund Yourself
L
et me stop you right now. Before you ask. Before you even
launch into your pitch. Because the answer is no. No, I don’t want to pay your beauty pageant fees. No, I’m not interested in funding your dream of opening a bakery. No, I promise that I cannot be convinced to contribute to your trans surgery. It feels as if every time I log onto social media, I’m being hit up by another grassroots fundraising campaign. But it’s not for the stuff we used to hear about — the stuff I’d happily write a check for. It’s not a family I know facing astronomical medical bills or an earthquake across the globe that left thousands homeless. It’s oddly public pleas based on oddly personal predicaments. Help bail my boyfriend out of jail. Help three friends find a home and keep our dog. Moving down south to pursue my modeling career. I find it aggravating. A little insulting, even. Just as social media has made it possible to see one another’s lunches (guilty), it’s now possible and apparently irresistible to share one’s financial shortcomings, too. Need $4,000 for custody for my boys. Need $3,000 because our business is not attractive from the street. I need money to go visit my best friend in Canada. We’ve been best friends for months, and I’ve never met her in real life, although we’ve video chatted. (Yes. For real.) There are now innumerable sites for crowdfunding or, as I like to call it, e-begging. There’s Fundly, IndieGogo, YouCaring, Rally.org. The most popular is GoFundMe. Unlike Kickstarter, a forum for legit entrepreneurs who often offer small tokens of gratitude in return for backing donations, GoFundMe is a no-frills, straight-up by Starshine cyber-shakedown. And it feels audacious to me. I’m no miser. If I don’t write regular checks to public radio, Planned email: starshine@roshell.com Parenthood, and the PTA, I get the shakes. I can’t pass a street performer without shedding every Washington in my wallet. But I think the online format of funding sites, requiring no eye contact, has made hat-passing so easy — so shameless — that it invites brash, unapologetic asks. Impenitent, unaccountable “gimmes.” It’s a childish fantasy that the mere act of hoping fiercely for something, and doing almost nothing to make it happen, oughta do the trick. It’s a blithe wish over birthday candles, and I can’t cough up enough respect to reward it — especially the Tennessee mom who was “not looking for a handout” but merely needed $300 to take her 4-year-old go-kart racing. Of course, there may be other factors contributing to my exasperation. For one, the abundance of appeals is depressing. There’s just So. Much. Need. So many single moms who can’t make it work. So many older couples who should be enjoying retirement, not begging for a water heater. I’m frustrated and disappointed that there aren’t more reliable and less humiliating ways to pay for your mother’s burial, or your golden retriever’s surgery. And okay, maybe I’m just the tiniest bit resentful that I lack the chutzpah to toss my own wish into the well of the World Wide Web. Perhaps I’m looking at this all wrong. Mightn’t it be plain old optimism, rather than gall, that nudges these needers to display their desires online? Couldn’t it be that there’s someone out there for everyone — a generous benefactor for every down-and-outer who wants fertility treatments, a willing Samaritan for each hapless have-not coveting a new car? I’ll bet there’s even a fairy god-donor somewhere who’d empty his pockets for a heart-wrenching entreaty like this one: Help facetious columnist take her family to London! We’ve always wanted to go, and well, other people get to go, so why the hell not us? But saving for a trip like that would mean giving in to far fewer impulsive dinners out, and also we’d have to stop buying the organic berries. For a long time. So please send what you can, and don’t delay — Big Ben is tick-tick-ticking! $0 of $10,000 funded.

Am I too old for braces? Of course not! Patients of all ages seek treatment to correct the position of their teeth. In many cases, treatment can be completed within a year. With options available of both traditional braces and Invisalign, we can find the system that works best for your mouth and lifestyle. In addition to improving the cosmetics of your teeth, orthodontics can improve your overall dental health. By straightening the alignment of your teeth, they become easier to clean and maintain, which reduces your chance for gum disease and decay. The teeth are also less likely to wear prematurely. An improved bite can reduce strain on your jaw muscles and joint. Most often after orthodontics a patients only regret is that they did not start treatment sooner!

PINOT BOWLING: The black-clay-laden “pinot bowl” of Radian Vineyard on Rancho Salsipuedes dips between the chertflecked dirt of the northern slope and the ashy soils of the southern ridge, where the feet of winemaker Matt Dees (below) sank deeply into the diatomaceous earth.

How to Make the Universe Right presents an unprecedented group of scrolls and ceremonial objects of the Yao people and other groups from Vietnam and Southern China. This rich tradition of Shamanist practice brings together Daoist and Buddhist deities, Confucian ancestor worship, and Animism. These scroll paintings, costumes, masks, instruments and other ceremonial objects represent an unbroken link to the past of Asian mountain cultures whose roots go back 2000 years. With the help of scrolls and other spiritual objects, such as the ones exhibited in this show, Shamans guide their people’s vital spiritual life, binding them together and helping them to “make the universe right.”

Teen Paranormal Romance. At Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara. Shows through July 12. Reviewed by Charles Donelan
H
amza Walker, the curator behind Teen Paranormal Romance, the nationally touring group exhibition that just opened at MCA Santa Barbara, describes the show’s title as “found poetry.” “I was in Chicago, looking for a book that my daughter asked me to buy — one of the novels in the Divergent series,”Walker told me,“and it was sold out everywhere, so I wound up in front of this massive section full of YA novels at Barnes & Noble, and when I looked above the shelves, there was this label, ‘Teen Paranormal Romance.’ It started me thinking.” Walker, who will co-curate the 2016 Made in L.A. exhibition at UCLA’s Hammer Museum, thinks a lot, not only about contemporary art, but also with it. Choosing work, interpreting it, and even hanging it at precisely the right height in the gallery—these activities all manifest the freewheeling Walker’s nonstop thought process. The shows he curates, like his conversations, bubble, pop, and fizz with ideas, associations, and insights. So what did this particular snippet of found poetry — Teen Paranormal Romance — start Walker thinking about? “How much intensification goes on in this popular young adult genre,” for one thing, and “why young people today love to read about characters who have animal selves, and who become werewolves or vampires.” Why did he decide to create the exhibit? In “Spells Like Teen Spirit,” his introductory essay to the show, Walker writes that “the intensification of adolescent drives is perfectly suited to serve as a crystalline cipher” for a wide range of contemporary ideological positions. This exhibition, which is made up of works by highprofile professional artists with international reputations, aims to resuscitate surrealism’s connection to the unconscious “in the wake of a YA-driven media zeitgeist.” Given this ambitiously intellectual statement of purpose, it’s a pleasure to report that the art works on many visceral levels, regardless of one’s ideological position or attitude toward the unconscious. Three very large sculptures dominate the main room. I’ll engage them in order of size—from large to enormous. Jack Lavender has several assemblage works in the show, all of them constructed out of a combination of industrial building materials and household detritus. “Fantasy Line” from 2013 is a 15-foot, vertically oriented diagonal slash of steel surmounted with an empty cardboard box. There’s the memory of playground equipment present here— perhaps the base for a portable basketball hoop — but there’s also a sly art-historical reference to Richard Serra’s seminal “prop” series of sculptures, icons of 1960s minimalist abstraction. In tandem with Lavender’s other work, and in the context of the rest of the show, what “Fantasy Line” lodges in the mind is an enigmatic sense of fundamental disconnection. Nearby stands another, even larger sculptural object by Anna K.E., “Lucky Weekend,” that’s also both puzzling and self-supporting. One side is taken up by a 20-foot patch of basic white tile, embellished in the main by a simple and colorful abstract design, and further occluded by an ever-growing stack of works on paper that are glued on top of one another. It’s a bit like abandoned amateur subway art. The reverse side reveals the wooden trestles that support the tile surface, along with a half-dozen clothes hooks holding bright, cheap-looking garments. “Lucky Weekend” is more than an object, but not quite a place. This eerie liminal

status pulls the viewer in yet leaves open the question of where precisely one ends up by engaging it. The largest work in the show leaves no doubt on that score. “Friends and Lovers,” the 2010 installation by Kathryn Andrews, consists of chain-link fence, concrete blocks, wood, and paint. Although it exists in variable states depending on where it is located, the piece’s defining characteristic remains the same — the chain-link fence encloses and effectively locks up as much as half of the gallery’s floor space. Within this entry-less cage sit two freestanding cinderblock walls, each painted white, and each bearing the grinning abstract face of a cartoon bear. For anyone who ever attended public school, the imagery hits with a powerful immediacy. This is that unnerving place where public space loses its private dimension and becomes simply “the quad” or “the yard,” a sphere in which everyone is vulnerable and no one is at home. Smaller works in other media expand the presentation without foreclosing on its significance. Two figure photos, Roe Ethridge’s “Louise with Red Bag” (2011) and Jill Frank’s “Bong (Shawn)” from 2014, take us closest to the exhibit’s ostensible subject by depicting teens in stark, but not entirely unflattering, moments of self-exposure. Ed Atkins’s 2013 video “Even Pricks” offers TPR’s most flamboyant kicks, pairing images of an inflatable thumb with those of a collapsing bed in a format that borrows liberally from exploitation film trailers. The duo Guyton\Walker merge highly magnified, tightly cropped images with a sculptural impulse in their series of mattresses that have been screen printed with details of paint cans. Finally, there’s Chris Bradley, the sculptor responsible for “Grease Face #3” and “Grease Face #4.” These trompe l’oeil confections look exactly like empty pizza boxes stained with greasy olive oil. In reality, they are heavy, elaborately manufactured sculptures in steel, aluminum, and cast bronze, painted to resemble dirty cardboard. Like the rest of Teen Paranormal Romance, these riddling artifacts at once beg to be disn carded and refuse to be forgotten.

t’s not often that a contemporar y composer succeeds in adding to the permanent repertoire of operas, but that’s exactly what’s happening with the opera version of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire. San Francisco Opera premiered André Previn’s Streetcar in September 1998, and it’s been in production on and off ever since. In that time, only two singers have left their mark on multiple productions in the leading role of Blanche Du Bois: Renée Fleming, for whom the part was written, and Beverly O’Regan Thiele, the SOUTHERN SAGA: Opera Santa Barbara takes on composer André soprano who will sing it Previn’s popular reworking of the Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar this weekend for Opera Named Desire. Pictured from left are Gregory Gerbrandt as Stanley Santa Barbara. O’Regan Kowalski and Beverly O’Regan Thiele as Blanche DuBois. Thiele, who began her involvement with Previn’s Streetcar as Fleming’s cover, has now sung the role as the principal in three other productions — with Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Washington National Opera, and Opera Grand Rapids.

high SchoolS excel At MuSicAl theAter
DICKENS TO DITSY: (clockwise from top) Santa Barbara High presents The Mystery of Edwin Drood; Languna Blanca brings Young Frankenstein to life; San Marcos High showcases tap dancing and famous Broadway songs in their production of Crazy for You; and Gracie Barker stars as Elle in DP’s Legally Blonde.
munity, The Santa Barbara Independent has teamed with Ensemble Theatre Company, the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, the Santa Barbara Foundation, and the Nederlander Organization to create the National High School Musical Awards of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Now in its second year, this event, which will take place at the Ensemble’s New Vic on Monday, May 11, serves as the first round in a series of contests leading to the Jimmy Awards, the National High School Musical championship event held every June on Broadway in the Minskoff Theatre. Last spring, the Santa Barbara and Ventura winners, Camille Umoff and Jenikka Nunag, went on to compete against the best singers and dancers in all of Southern California at the Jerry Herman Awards on the Pantages stage in Hollywood. The event held here, which featured two full production numbers and a dozen solos and duets by the best performers from high school musicals in Santa Barbara and Ventura, was a great chance for those who might not have had the time to see every single show in the area to check out what each school had done for the season. It was also an unforgettable opportunity for the students and their teachers to come together, to share the experience of singing these great songs one more time, and to connect with their peers from other schools, something that the rigorous schedules they must meet during production tends to preclude. The following short previews are intended to give a little flavor of what to expect at each of the four shows happening in Santa Barbara right now. For more information about the awards and show on May 11, keep watching this space. Whitney hartmann

t the conclusion of the Dos Pueblos High School production of Legally Blonde, Parker Sassola, who plays Emmett, kisses Gracie Barker, who plays Elle Woods. It’s a classic Broadway musical moment, with the romantic leads downstage center, spotlit for maximum effect. Last Friday night, I happened to be seated next to the Sassola family, and as a result, I experienced the kind of contact thrill that only a real-life high school musical can provide.“We didn’t even know he sang!” his sister told me during intermission, and then there he was, her big brother up there onstage kissing the star of the show in front of the whole school. I didn’t know whether to squirm, like mom and sis, or scream, like many of his classmates, so I just followed Mr. Sassola’s lead and smiled proudly. Chalk up another victory for the big spring musical, one of American high school’s grandest traditions. The last two weeks in April present the opportunity to see no fewer than four high school musicals in Santa Barbara. Legally Blonde, which opened on April 17 at DP, runs through April 25. Young Frankenstein hits the stage at Laguna Blanca School on April 23 and shows through April 25. The Mystery of Edwin Drood, at Santa Barbara High, opens on April 24 and runs through May 3. Crazy for You, at San Marcos High School, opens on April 30 and runs through May 9. All of these shows are 100 percent local productions and represent the culmination of countless hours in rehearsal, stage building, practice, and memorization not only for the students onstage but also for the student crews, the incredibly dedicated teachers, and the supportive parents who will crowd these theaters for the chance to experience the kind of magic I witnessed with the Sassolas at Dos Pueblos on Friday night. These days, however, parents are not the only ones who will be lining up for these performances. In many ways, the audience for high school musicals has begun to outstrip the one that’s willing to pay to see professional shows. It’s by Charles Donelan not just that it’s a younger crowd, although at a recent matinee of the musical Tarzan performed by the students of Lompoc High, I was stunned to realize that the average age in the room was likely no higher than 11. What has happened with high school musicals is actually much bigger than that. Blame it on Glee, blame it on Disney’s High School Musical franchise, or even hold American Idol and The Voice responsible, but any way you figure it, the energy and interest in these shows among the general public is rapidly on the rise. A recent Wall Street Journal article described a New York couple with no children performing who had managed to see 17 high school musicals this year. While that would not be possible for someone attending solely those shows staged in Santa Barbara, add in Ventura, and you could easily equal it. Part of the excitement comes from the high stakes involved for those at the very top. Talented high school performers who appear in these well-funded, beautifully presented productions are often only a year or two younger than their professional counterparts, especially now that shows featuring teen lead roles have become more common. The distance from Santa Barbara to Broadway has never seemed so slight. In the interest of promoting this fantastic expression of collective effervescence in our com-
Valeria Rodriguez, Bea Tolan, Mitchell Gravelle, and Mathew Goldsholl. This wacky musicalization of the Mel Brooks movie is the most ambitious show yet for the small private school. Expect plenty of laughs and top-notch singing, acting, and choreography.
The Mystery of Edwin Drood at Santa Barbara High School. April 24-May 3.
Aaron Linker, who starred in SBHS’s fall production of Big Fish, is back, and so is 2014 High School Musical Award winner Umoff, who will play the pants role of Edwin Drood in this fascinating musical by pop hit maker Rupert Holmes. Every night, the audience gets to vote on which ending will be used, so go back! It’s likely to be a different show than the one you saw the week before. Veteran director Otto Layman has made Santa Barbara High into a perennial theater powerhouse, and this show, with its sophisticated play-within-a-play structure, promises to be a masterwork.
Legally Blonde at Dos Pueblos. Through April
25. Clark Sayre and Gioia Marchese have truly outdone themselves with this fizzy pink blockbuster. In addition to the excellent leads, the show has wonderful, juicy parts for a halfdozen more players. Standouts include seniors Blaine Sayre as Aaron and Elle’s dad, the amazing Luana Psaros as Paulette, Keri Parsons as Vivienne, and junior Sofia Ross as Margot. The show is a riot from start to finish, and has more big laughs than virtually any new musical in memory. As long as you don’t go expecting everything (anything?) about it to be realistic, Legally Blonde makes for a great night out.
Young Frankenstein at Laguna Blanca School.
April 23-25. Theater instructor and Santa Barbara native Kate Bergstrom scored a hit last year with The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and she’s back this spring with stars
Crazy for You at San Marcos High School. April 30-May 9. Direc-
tor Riley Berris makes her musical debut with this classic, which includes some of Broadway’s most famous songs and tons of tap dancing. Berris was handpicked by San Marcos legend David Holmes as the successor to his 30-year dynasty last spring, and she brings top-notch professional training and the energy of youth to this distinguished program. Crazy for You is an irresistible show, and the Royals plan to n make it exciting.

eorg Büchner’s considerable reputation rests on just three plays, and none of them were produced within his short life span from 1813-1837. A politically minded German Romantic, Büchner never completely abandoned the subject of his first play, a tragedy based on the bloody historical events of the French Revolution’s aftermath titled Danton’s Death. In Woyzeck, the antihero is a common soldier rather than a revolutionary; his tragedy comes at the hands of an uncaring, militaristic bureaucracy that swiftly strips him of everything he has. The nihilism of the story and the writer’s scattershot, nonlinear approach to telling it both reinforce Woyzeck’s fundamental message of generalized protest against the grinding cruelties of fate. Anticipating the tremendous difficulties that would face mankind in the 20th century, Woyzeck portrays the revenge of a man whose life is not so much thwarted as it is dissolved by circumstances beyond his control. One consequence of Büchner’s having left the play in fragments is that it has been seized on as material to be further elaborated, most famously by Alban Berg in his modernist opera masterpiece Wozzeck. This production, directed by Ensemble Theatre Company’s Jonathan Fox, represents a significant revision of the 21st-century musical version of the play that was created by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan in association with avantgarde theater artist Robert Wilson. The 13 new Tom Waits songs expand the original script to approximately 90 minutes playing time and operate in counterpoint to the play’s existing dialogue. Details of historical verisimilitude have not bogged down the creative team of Waits and Brennan. For example, they have no problem with Woyzeck (Stephen Van Dorn) referring to Marie (Gina Manziello) as his “Coney Island Baby” despite the setting in early-19th-century Germany. The songs are thus best understood as distillations rather than representations, artfully arranged amalgams of the carnival, the music hall, the jazz club, and the cabaret. These are strong additions to the Waits catalog, and they receive excellent performances here. Fox’s imaginative direction overcomes Woyzeck’s obstacles to narrative understanding through multiple solutions, from script to staging. Making full use of the technical and spatial potential of the state-of-the-art New Vic, this Woyzeck delivers both a brilliant reading of the Büchner text and a memorably intense night of nontraditional musical theater. Fine performances by Manziello and Van Dorn combine to draw the center of gravity closer than usual for Woyzeck to that of a conventional love story, but Marie’s dalliance with the Drum Major (Steven Good) cancels any expectation that the pair will create a successful home for their child together. Matt Gottlieb is suitably creepy in his heavy white makeup as the Doctor who experiments on Woyzeck, and Matthew Henerson makes for a menacing Captain. Phillip Brandon, Matthew MacNelly, and Willie Simpson provide fine voices in the service of the music, and Tiffany Story, who plays Margaret, shows a wonderful affinity for these Kurt Weill– influenced songs. François-Pierre Couture continues to excel at designing dynamic, fluid sets for the New Vic space. This one may be his best yet. Kate Bergh’s costumes are pitch-perfect blends of thrift-store archaism and military pomp. Woyzeck, despite its melancholy message of distrust for human nature, is itself a reason for hope, and a theatrical event not to be missed. n

rockin’ The line TOURING THE WEST: Steve Marion and his New Jersey–based band Delicate Steve will bring their bellowing guitar melodies and prog-meets-classic-rock grooves to Velvet Jones on Sunday, April 26, at 8 p.m.
T
he first thing you need to know is that Delicate Steve isn’t that delicate. After his New Jersey high school band was signed and then shelved, Steve Marion regrouped and tackled a new project: indie-rock group Delicate Steve. After recently finishing up a spunky Live in Las Vegas record, Delicate Steve is kicking off a tour across the states. The band will bring its bellowing guitar melodies and prog-meets-classic-rock grooves to Velvet Jones on Sunday, April 26, at 8 p.m. In anticipation of their Santa Barbara show, I chatted with the man behind the name, Marion, to talk alter egos, Sin City, and breaking out of New Jersey.
Is Delicate Steve the name of your alter ego or your band? It’s both, in different
ways … It was an inside joke with a friend—it just sort of happened. I like that it has a person’s name in it.

You’re from New Jersey, the Holy Land of rock ’n’ roll. How was getting out of there and into the world? I definitely pursued music partly because I wanted

If you could tour with anyone, who would it be? I’d tour with my friends! It depends on the situation, of course, but if I could tour with the best musicians, then I’d pick my friends and bandmates. There are so many musicians that I don’t know personally who I’d want to play with. I hope someday I can make music with my heroes: the surviving Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Page, Tom Petty. Was Delicate Steve your first musical project? I’ve been making music since I was 15 — it’s why I didn’t go to college. My high school band got signed for a record deal.
What was it like getting signed to a major label in high school? It was really
exciting, but we also had only a vague understanding of what was happening. We felt somewhat powerless and confused, but we didn’t know any better. My [high school] band’s record eventually got shelved. It didn’t discourage me from pursuing music, though. I only found out how much different the process is in indie music when Delicate Steve got a record deal.
You just released Live in Las Vegas. Why did you choose Sin City? We had our whole tour recorded, and we were planning on releasing a “best of” record. Our manager listened to all of the recordings and told us that the Vegas show was the one. I like the idea of the Live in Las Vegas album. It’s cool to hear a live band really cookin’ up onstage. We try to do that. What are the best and worst parts of touring? The worst parts are the long
drives and not eating enough. The best parts are pretty much everything else!

Green Gets Hi-Fi O
n the surface, Colleen Green’s new album, I Want to Grow Up, seems like a pretty straightforward read. The record — her second for Hardly Art — boasts a bigger, cleaner sound than 2013’s MASS APPEAL: Colleen Green’s scuzzy self-recorded gem Sock It latest record, I Want to Grow Up, has onion-like layers and is undoubtedly to Me. It also finds Green trading the singer’s most approachable in her trusty drum machine for a creation to date. real-live thrasher (Diarrhea Planet’s Casey Weissbuch) and bringing a producer on board for the first time (JEFF the Brotherhood’s Jake Orrall). The resulting songs are catchy, cohesive, and a far cry from the alone-andstoned bedroom musings of Green’s back catalog. From the looks of it, L.A.’s reigning slacker queen hasn’t just grown up; she’s turned into that crazy-cool adult all the kids want to be. Or so you think. A quick perusal of the album’s lyric sheet reveals a whole slew of conflicting emotions bubbling below the surface.“I gotta stop doing things that are bad for me,” Green sing-songs on the bubbly “Things That Are Bad for Me (Part I).” That song’s counterpoint comes with “Things That Are Bad for Me (Part II),” which builds around brutal guitars and lamentations like “I want to get high right now.” Then there’s “Deeper Than Love,” the record’s scaryby Aly Comingore good and truth-bombfilled centerpiece. “I’m wondering if I’m even the marrying kind,” Green muses.“How can I give you my life when I know you’re just gonna die?” Of course, I Want to Grow Up’s onion-like layers only add to its appeal. The album is undoubtedly Green’s most approachable (not to mention tapehiss-free) creation to date, as well her most resonating. At 30, Green finds herself caught between old habits and new expectations, but rather than shirking her frustrations, she’s channeling them into songs that effectively say what the rest of us are thinking: Does anyone ever really feel like an adult, or are we all just kind of faking it? This Friday, April 24, Colleen Green plays Funzone with openers Upset, Massenger, and Honey Maid. In anticipation, I phoned up Green to talk Akon, The Breeders, and going hi-fi.
l.A.’s stOner-rOCk Queen
What got you thinking about working with a producer and a drummer this time out? I knew I wanted it to sound different and that I wanted it to be
a big record. There was this initial idea between me and the record label, “What if …?” I had been doing all this lo-fi music, so it was kind of like, “What if we made it in a studio? What if we did something completely different?” It was almost an experiment, but I think it turned out well.
After writing and recording on your own for so long, was it weird to have other people involved in the process? You know, it wasn’t. In the past I definitely
would not have been ready to share that with people, but in those days, I didn’t know Casey and Jake as well as I do now. Because it was the two of them, I felt really comfortable. They just get it, and I knew they wouldn’t judge me. I had been sending them demos and stuff with notes like,“I don’t know about this song. The lyrics are fucked up,” and they just totally reassured me. They were all about those songs.
Audited. Verified. Proven.
Just Wants to GroW up
What’s on the tour van playlist currently? Definitely Akon. Lots of rap, actu-
ally. Waka Flocka Flame has some great mixtapes to cruise to. Stuff that’s not rock ’n’ roll is good, especially after seeing bands every single night. We drove to a hotel after yesterday’s show, and we were all drunk and stoned, and someone put on The Breeders’ Last Splash, and it was so perfect. It was amazing.

Clouds of Sils Maria. Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, and Chloë Grace Moretz star in a film written and directed by Olivier Assayas. Reviewed by Kit Steinkellner
C
louds of Sils Maria is an enigmatic puzzle box of a movie that will have audience members sorting through its pieces long after the credits have rolled. The central character is Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche), a middle-aged actress who skyrocketed to fame at 18 playing the character of Sigrid in the playwithin-the-movie Maloja Snake. In the play, Sigrid is a careless young woman who seduces her vulnerable female boss, Helena. Now, almost 20 years later, in the wake of the playwright’s death, Maria is asked to join a revival of the play, this time as Helena, with young Hollywood starlet Jo-Ann Ellis (Chloë Grace Moretz), fresh off a superhero movie and a series of tabloid scandals, playing Sigrid. One would think this is where the movie takes an All About Eve turn, but in fact, Jo-Ann appears infrequently in the film. The real Sigrid-Helena relationship is between Maria and her assistant, Valentine (Kristen Stewart). While holed up in the deceased playwright’s Swiss mountain home in the eponymous town of Sils Maria, Maria and Valentine run lines and workshop the play. Rather than falling into the roles of Helena and Sigrid in real life, Maria and Valentine are constantly alternating — one is careless and cruel while the other is vulnerable and weak, and a minute later, the distribution of power shifts completely.
FACT OR FICTION? While holed up in a Swiss mountain home running the lines of a play, Maria (Juliette Binoche, left) and Valentine (Kristen Stewart) are tangled in a struggle with one another that sees the distribution of power endlessly shifting.
Life doesn’t just imitate art in the movie; it imitates our reality, as well. In many ways, Binoche overlaps with Maria (the part was written specifically for Binoche). There’s a scene where Stewart’s Valentine defends both the acting and the exploits of Jo-Ann, and you could take the dialogue of this scene verbatim and apply it to Stewart’s Twilight Saga–fueled rise to fame, her scandalous flameout, and her current renaissance in the world of indie film. One only has to do the quickest of Google searches on French writer/director Olivier Assayas to see his likeness in almost every male character on screen. This is a movie where not only does reality bleed into fiction, but fiction also bleeds back out into reality, an unnerving and transfixing story that is currently the best film I’ve seen in theaters this year. n
Too True for the Movies
True Story. Jonah Hill, James Franco, and Felicity Jones star in a film written by Rupert Goold and David Kajganich, based on the memoir by Michael Finkel, and directed by Goold. Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

ost journalism films get everything wrong. Either they punk up the reporters or make them into suave crusaders. What’s often missing from screenplay portraits is the underlying anxiety involved in the pursuit of truth: getting niggly essential details right while maintaining enough zazz to ensure an upwardly mobile career in a medium that’s steadily dying. True Story gets the mixture of narcissism and idealistic zeal right portraying real-life former New York Times writer Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill) cut down after fudging facts on a cover story about African corporate slavery. Confronted by editors, Finkel protests the pressure that was put on him to condense his article for readability. “I never told you to lie,” answers the editor, and, just like that, the gap between the aims of journalism and its usual practices is made manifest — in an ambiguous way, I grant you, but this quiet examination of contradicting impulses is the ruling aesthetic of this very interesting film. The other defining gap is in James Franco’s eyes. Franco plays accused murderer Christian Longo with
WEB OF LIES: James Franco, who is unnervingly good at playing creepy amorality, stars as accused murderer Christian Longo, who has stolen the identity of former New York Times writer Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill).
an uncanny dead expression aimed mostly at Finkel, whose identity Longo has mysteriously stolen. Longo virtually hypnotizes Finkel into thinking this is both a great story and a shot at redemption, but we’re never quite sure what Longo wants. Franco is unnervingly good at creepy amorality. The final gap and the subtlest relationship in the film stretches between Finkel and his wife, Jill, played with mousey eloquence by Felicity Jones. When she finally comes out with a prisonvisiting-room monologue, it feels cathartic yet remains distant and mysterious. True Story feels too rich and ambiguous for a contemporary film. Movies nowadays have operatic affirmations; empowerment is their main concern. Only cable channels like HBO get away with antihero dramas without offending their audience. This is a character study riddled with ironies and narcissism; it lacks much in the way of a hopeful ending. It’s good enough for television. n

An Evening with
Edited by Michelle Drow
The following films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, APRIL 24, THROUGH THURSDAY, APRIL 30. Descriptions followed by initials — DJP (D.J. Palladino) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com. The symbol O indicates the film is recommended.
FIRST LOOKS O Clouds of Sils Maria (124 mins.; R: language and brief graphic nudity) Reviewed on page 61. Plaza de Oro O True Story
(99 mins.; R: language and some disturbing material) Reviewed on page 61. Paseo Nuevo
O Unfriended
(82 mins.; R: violent content, pervasive language, some sexuality, and drug and alcohol use, all involving teens)
Continuing in the rich tradition of horror movies leading cinematic innovation, Unfriended is one of the most ingeniously constructed feature films since Gravity. Created completely on a computer screen, the whole movie is seen as an interaction of six friends and a possibly supernatural interloper as instant messages, Skype conversations — with artistically rendered sticky images — and overlapping ventures into YouTube and other weirder websites. It may sound boring or self-consciously clever, but the film is suspenseful, and the techniques are both fresh and strikingly obvious (film majors around the world are cursing themselves for not thinking of it first). It’s the best idea since Blair Witch made video cams thrilling. The story is simple: On the anniversary of Laura Barns’s online humiliation and suicide, a group of her seemingly likeable friends are chatting about sex and graduation. Suddenly a faceless communiqué from Laura’s old account starts interfering in increasingly relentless fashion. Unfriended isn’t scary like most of the home-recording films, but it is continually wondrous. Who knows what the process of creating the film entailed, from animation to rehearsal time. But the execution, so to speak, is seamless. You hear a lot about the kids today not having real friends, and a number of rather preachy films underscore that — a couple of them by local boy Jason Reitman — but this one makes the point clear with wit and creepy undertones. Inhumane practices create webs of deceit. This web brings evil and evildoers face to face. (DJP)
Ex Machina (108 mins.; R: graphic nudity, language, sexual references, and some violence) A young coder, Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), from the world’s biggest Internet company wins a contest to spend a week retreat with the reclusive CEO (Oscar Isaac). Once there, Caleb becomes part of an experiment that involves artificial intelligence in the form of a beautiful robot woman. Metro 4 Little Boy (106 mins.; PG-13: some mature thematic material and violence) Set in the 1940s, this film tells the story of an 8-year-old boy who will do anything to see his father return home safely from World War II. Fiesta 5 The Water Diviner (111 mins.; R: war violence including some disturbing images) Russell Crowe stars as an Australian farmer who goes to Turkey after the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli to find his three sons. Paseo Nuevo
ScREEnIngS SBIFF Wave Festival: Spain & Latin America “We always wanted to offer year-round programming,” SBIFF Director Roger Durling said in a 2014 interview with The Santa Barbara Independent. “After we got the Showcase program off the ground [the Wednesday-night indie film screening series at Plaza de Oro Theatre], my dream was to offer a minifestival every quarter, representing films from a single country.” Last year’s offerings were from France; this year, Spain and Latin America are represented in 11 films, all screening at the Riviera Theatre, April 29-May 3. For a complete schedule, see sbiff.org.
nOW SHOWIng Child 44 (137 mins.; R: violence, some disturbing images, language, and a scene of sexuality)
Disgraced Ministry of State Security agent Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy) investigates a series of child murders during Stalin’s rule. Fiesta 5
Camino Real/Fiesta 5
PREMIERES The Age of Adaline (110 mins.; PG-13: a suggestive comment)
In this story about immortality, Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) spends nearly eight decades as a 29-year-old until she meets a charming man for whom she’s willing to reveal her secret.
O Cinderella (112 mins.; PG: mild thematic elements) This live-action film retells the classic fairy tale about a servant stepdaughter who becomes the object of affection for the kingdom’s prince. The remake comes nowhere near the domesticated grandeur of the 1950 cartoon, though it has its own moments, both new and wonderfully familiar. (DJP) Fiesta 5
Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo
Danny Collins (106 mins.; R: language, Avengers: Age of Ultron (141 mins.;
drug use, and some nudity)
PG-13: intense sequences of sci-fi action, violence and destruction, and some suggestive comments)

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and his superhero friends — Captain America, Thor, the Incredible Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye — are once again charged with saving the planet. Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D and 3D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D) (Opens, Thu., Apr. 30)
O Furious 7
(137 mins.; PG-13: prolonged frenetic sequences of violence, action, and mayhem, suggestive content, and brief strong language)
The Fast and the Furious gang reunite to stop Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), who is hunting them down to avenge the death of his brother. Every aspect of
David
the franchise’s past is effectively recycled, but somehow Furious 7, with all of its preposterous stunts, mock epic chase scenes, clunky dialogue, and sadistic bloodless fight scenes, is redeemed in a finale that manages to make the whole series seem goopy and romantic. (DJP) Arlington/Camino Real/Metro 4
Home (94 mins.; PG: mild action and some rude humor)
A clueless alien named Oh takes possession of an Earth apartment after his people take over our planet. This film, saccharine and phony, might make your children stare fixedly at the screen, but their little faces (not to mention yours) will not be cracking up. Home, in this case, is where the artificial heart is. (DJP) Fiesta 5 The Longest Ride (139 mins.; PG-13: some sexuality, partial nudity, and some war and sports action)
Hollywood loves a formula, and what is more by-the-numbers than a Nicholas Sparks story? Basically, you get two parallel eye-moistening narratives followed by something that hews closer to Cinderella than Romeo and Juliet. The film is a little too long, and the pain of love is nowhere near as dramatic as the romantic courting is super sweet. Heartbreak is an art best left to good actors like Ryan Gosling, who sold the slow burn in The Notebook. (DJP) Camino Real/Metro 4 Monkey Kingdom (81 mins.; G) This nature documentary from Disney is about a newborn monkey and its mother who are members of the Temple Troop, a family of monkeys living in ancient ruins in the jungles of Sri Lanka. Fiesta 5/Fairview
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (94 mins.; PG: some violence)
This sequel sees Paul Blart (Kevin James) vacationing in Las Vegas with his daughter when duty calls.

Camino Real/Metro 4
While We’re Young (97 mins.; R: language)
A middle-aged couple’s career and marriage are disrupted when they meet a bewitching young couple. Fairview/ Paseo Nuevo
Wild Tales (122 mins.; R: violence, language, and brief sexuality) Six stories deal with humans turning away from their humanity (the credits equate each crew member with an animal, wild or barnyard) in settings almost equally hilarious and horrifying. Wild Tales is fun and half great but nowhere near profound. (DJP) Plaza de Oro
Woman in Gold (109 mins.; PG-13: some thematic elements and brief strong language)
Helen Mirren stars in this true story as Maria Altmann, a Jewish WWII refugee who takes on the Austrian government 50 years after the war to recover five Klimt paintings belonging to her family that were plundered by the Nazis and hang in a Vienna gallery.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of aPRil 23 our potential; a presumed barrier that we regard as so deeply rooted that we will never be able to break its spell on us. Maybe it’s a traumatic memory. Maybe it’s a physical imperfection or a chronic fear. In accordance with the current astrological omens, Cancerian, you’d be wise to do an audit and reassessment of your own LAMEST EXCUSE. I suspect you now have insight about it that you’ve never had before. I also think you have more power than usual to at least partially dismantle it.
ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): If you’re stumped about what present to give someone for a special occasion, you might buy him or her a gift card. It’s a piece of plastic that can be used as cash to buy stuff at a store. The problem is, a lot of people neglect to redeem their gift cards. They leave them in drawers and forget about them. Financial experts say there are currently billions of dollars going to waste on unredeemed gift cards. This is your metaphor of the moment, Aries. Are there any resources you’re not using? Any advantages you’re not capitalizing on? Any assets you’re ignoring? If so, fix the problem.
LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): If you were a supporting character in a popular TV drama, the producers would be cooking up a spin-off show with you in a starring role. If you were in an indie rock band, you’d be ready to move from performing at 300-seat venues to clubs with an audience capacity of 2,000. If you have always been just an average egocentric romantic like the rest of us, you might be on the verge of becoming a legend in your own mind — in which case it would be time to start selling T-shirts, mugs, and calendars with your image on them. And even if you are none of the above, Leo, I suspect you’re ready to rise to the next level.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): I usually have no objection to your devoted concern (I won’t use the phrase “manic obsession�) with security and comfort. But there are rare phases in every Taurus’s life cycle when ironclad stability becomes a liability. Cruising along in a smooth groove threatens to devolve into clunking along in a gutless rut. Now is such a phase. As of this moment, it is healthy for you to seek out splashes of unpredictability. Wisdom is most likely to grow from uncertainty. Joy will emerge from an eagerness to treasure the unknown.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Free at last! Free at last! Thanks to the Lord of the Universe or the Flying Spaghetti Monster or a burst of crazy good luck, you are free at last! You are free from the burden that made you say things you didn’t mean! You are free from the seductive temptation to rent, lease, or even sell your soul! Best of all, you are free from the mean little voice in your head — you know, the superstitious perfectionist that whispers weird advice based on fearful delusions! So now what will you do, my dear? You have escaped from the cramped, constricted conditions. Maybe you can escape to wide-open spaces that will unleash the hidden powers of your imagination.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): There may be a flood-like event that will wash away worn-out stuff you don’t need any more. There might be an earthquake-type phenomenon that only you can feel, and it might demolish one of your rotten obstacles. There could be a lucky accident that will knock you off the wrong course (which you might have thought was the right course). All in all, I suspect it will be a very successful week for benevolent forces beyond your control. How much skill do you have in the holy art of surrender?
CANCER
LIBRA
(June 21 - July 22): What is your biggest excuse? Or rather, what is your THICKEST, SICKEST, MOST DEBILITATING EXCUSE? We all have one: a reason we tell ourselves about why it’s difficult to live up to
(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): “To me, there is no greater act of courage than being the one who kisses first,� says Libra actress and activist Janeane Garofalo. I can think of
other ways to measure bravery, but for your immediate future, her definition will serve just fine. Your ultimate test will be to freely give your tenderness and compassion and empathy — without any preconditions or expectations. For the sake of your own integrity and mental health, be steadfast in your intention to always strike the first blow for peace, love, and understanding.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): It will soon be that time when you are halfway between your last birthday and your next birthday. I invite you to make this a special occasion. Maybe you can call it your anti-birthday or unbirthday. How to celebrate? Here are some ideas: (1) Imagine who you would be if you were the opposite of yourself. (2) Write a list of all the qualities you don’t possess and the things you don’t need and the life you don’t want to live. (3) Try to see the world through the eyes of people who are unlike you. (4) Extend a warm welcome to the shadowy, unripe, marginal parts of your psyche that you have a hard time accepting, let alone loving. (5) Any other ways you can think of to celebrate your anti-birthday?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): As I climb the first hill along my regular hike, both sides of the path are dominated by a plant with glossy, three-lobed leaves. They’re so exuberant and cheerful, I’m tempted to caress them, even rub my face in their bright greenery. But I refrain, because they are poison oak. One touch would cause my skin to break out in an inflamed rash that would last for days. I encourage you, too, to forgo contact with any influence in your own sphere that is metaphorically equivalent to the alluring leaves of the poison oak.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Today the French Capricorn painter Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is regarded as a foremost pioneer of modern art. Some critics say his innovative influence on painting nearly matched Picasso’s. But during the first part of the 20th century, his work often provoked controversy. When a few of his paint-

ings appeared at a major exhibition in Chicago, for example, local art students were shocked by what they called its freakishness. They held a mock trial, convicted Matisse of artistic crimes, and burned his painting “Blue Nude� in effigy. I don’t expect that you will face reactions quite as extreme as that in the coming weeks, Capricorn. But it will make sense to express yourself with such forceful creativity and originality that you risk inciting strong responses.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Leonardo da Vinci had skills in many fields, ranging from botany to engineering to cartography, but he is best known as a painter. And yet in his 67 years on the planet, he finished fewer than 40 paintings. He worked at a very gradual pace. The “Mona Lisaâ€? took him 14 years! That’s the kind of deliberate approach I’d like to see you experiment with in the coming weeks, Aquarius. Just for a while, see what it’s like to turn down your levels of speed and intensity. Have you heard of the Slow Food Movement? Have you read Carl HonorÊ’s book In Praise of Slowness? Do you know about Slow Travel, Slow Media, and Slow Fashion?
PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Modern movies don’t scrimp on the use of the f-bomb. Actors in The Wolf of Wall Street spat it out 569 times. The word-that-rhymes-withcluck was heard 326 times in End of Watch, while Brooklyn’s Finest racked up 270 and This Is the End erupted with an even 200. But this colorful word hasn’t always been so prominent a feature. Before 1967, no actor had ever uttered it on-screen. That year, Marianne Faithfull let it fly in the film I’ll Never Forget What’s’isname. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I invite you to break a taboo that’s maybe not as monumental as Faithfull’s quantum leap, but still fabulously fun and energizing. Be a liberator! End the repression! Release the blocked vitality!

Wine of the Week Field Recordings Ventucopa Tempranillo 2013: From the distant reaches of the Santa Barbara Highlands comes this light‑on‑its‑feet expression of the great Spanish grape that doesn’t get grown enough on the Central Coast. Given the vineyard site, it’s easy to compare this wine to what A Tribute to Grace does with its stellar grenache from the same region — take a wine that can be almost clumsy and make it dance like Astaire. So yes, it has the dry red fruit and leather notes, but they aren’t as dry or tannin‑locked. Winemaker Andrew Jones (no, not the former Atlanta Braves star and Dodgers flame‑out) is based in Paso Robles, but works as a vine nursery fieldman for numerous esteemed sites that then offer him fruit. That means he’s got his feet in the soil and his hands on great grapes and all that care shows up in his wines. See fieldrecordingswine.com.

REVVING UP: A “craft your own” pizza shop is now open downtown, with pies ready in less than three minutes thanks to a 900-degree oven.
o celebrate its grand opening on Thursday, April 23, the build-your-own-artisanalpizza shop PizzaRev will host a Pizzas for a Purpose fundraising event at 12 West De la Guerra Street in the Paseo Nuevo mall, on the former site of Kahuna Grill. Guests are invited to “pay what they want” for a custom-built, personal-sized pizza, with a suggested $8 contribution to benefit Dream Foundation, the only national dream-granting organization for adults and their families facing life-threatening illness. “Dream Foundation is grateful to be the beneficiary of PizzaRev’s charitable giving,” said the organization’s executive director, Kisa Heyer. “Every pizza bought helps support our program, which brings comfort and compassion to terminally ill adults at the end of life’s journey.” PizzaRev features a Craft Your Own pizza assembly process on its Roman-style thin and crispy pizza, which has a following in the Los Angeles area. It starts with the crust selection, either original or gluten-free, each one pressed into a thin canvas from a homemade dough ball. Guests then choose from four signature sauces, including an organic red sauce, a white alfredo, and a spicy-sweet BBQ. Finally, each personal-sized pizza is completed with selections from an array of cheeses and 30-plus ingredients, ranging from traditional favorites like pepperoni and ground beef to premium selections including sweet fennel sausage and fresh-picked basil and arugula. Each pizza, no matter how many ingredients are selected, costs $8.25. What enables the PizzaRev’s speed of service is the custom-built, 900-degree stone hearth oven. Guests watch the dancing flames in the background as their pizzas are fired to crispiness in less than three minutes. REBAR COFFEE TO OPEN: A coffee shop/deli/
bakery is coming to 214 State Street, the former, brief home of Tri Tip Company next to Union Ale. Visit facebook.com/rebarcoffee. JASPERS OPENING IN LOMPOC: Reader W let me
know that Jaspers Saloon is about to open at 114 South H Street in Lompoc. I don’t know if this is affiliated with the old Jasper’s Saloon in the Fairview shopping center. Visit facebook.com/LompocJaspers.
SOUTH COAST DELI DRINKS? Reader Primetime
tells me that the South Coast Deli at 10 East Carrillo Street has an application in the window for a beer-andwine license. CHEFS CYCLE! Chef James Siao from Finch & Fork
at the Canary Hotel is gearing up to ride his bike from Santa Barbara to San Diego, all to raise money for Share Our Strength, which helps feed hungry kids in America. He’s joining a small group of chefs as part of the Chefs Cycle! team, and each rider is aiming to raise $10,000 before the race kicks off in Santa Barbara on June 14. To reach his fundraising goal, Siao is collecting proceeds from designated special dishes and cocktails off of the Finch & Fork menu, and he’s also launching a Sunday Social series of special events. The first is a Carr Winery dinner on April 26, and the second will be at Handlebar Coffee on June 7. His colleagues at Outpost at the Goodland Hotel in Goleta (a Kimpton Property like the Canary) are also running specials. See tinyurl. com/chefjames. TASTE OF UCSB: This Saturday, April 25, at 3 p.m.
on the UCSB Science Green, more than 40 Gaucho alumni chefs, brewers, caterers, and vintners are coming to UCSB to serve their cuisine and beverages. The event also features live music, various UCSB department booths, and a silent auction benefiting the UCSB Alumni Association Scholarship Fund. See allgaucho reunion.com. TIMBERS CORRECTION: I recently ran a story about
the reopening of Timbers restaurant and mentioned that it was built from timbers of a Goleta pier that was torpedoed during WWII. Reader Richard Thurston, a former sailor in the U.S. Navy, offered this correction: “There’s a technical error in the second paragraph: ‘Many of the timbers still contain pieces of shrapnel from the torpedo bombing.’ The pier was not torpedoed or bombed. It was hit by shells from the Japanese submarine’s deck gun. Torpedoes run only in water like miniature submarines. Bombs, of course, are dropped from airplanes. It’s interesting the article mentions owner Tex Blackenship. Tex and his wife, Rose, were longtime friends of ours.”
