A recent transplant to Santa Barbara, our arts contributor Mitchell Kriegman, who this week explores Carl Jung’s long-hidden The Red Book, has been busy writing books himself. His novel Being Audrey Hepburn, about a girl who gets through her crummy life by watching Audrey Hepburn movies, arrives in bookstores in September. A second novel — Things I Can’t Explain, which finds the title character from Clarissa Explains It All (one of Kriegman’s Nickelodeon hits) facing life at 26 — comes out the following summer. Kriegman began his career as a performance artist, performing in the dark in a show titled An Evening of Stories and Tricks You Won’t See Anywhere.

Hope Springs for Wrecked Miramar

HOTEL DREAMS: Hope springs eternal

when it comes to rebuilding the beloved old Miramar Hotel, closed since 2000 and now just a Montecito beachside pile of wreckage. But County Supervisor Salud Carbajal tells me that Matt Middlebrook, owner Rick Caruso’s right-hand man, told him recently that he hopes to get financing by May. May? That’s “over optimistic,” Middlebrook told me by phone Monday. But the market for financing of new “ground up” hotels, as opposed to existing resorts,“has improved in the last few months, and we have had a number of conversations,” he said. “We are more hopeful than we have been for a number of years.” True, Caruso is involved in other projects, like renovating the Pacific Palisades shopping area, but that’s a different kind of animal, he said. So don’t pop any corks yet, Montecito. Since 2000, the old blue-roofed resort has gone through three owners, seen two plans approved by county supervisors (a big plan and a small one, take your pick), been torn down, and still awaits action by Caruso. He bought it in 2007 for $50 million from Ty Warner, who paid $43 million to hotelier Ian Schrager, who bought the place for $32 million. In the meantime, Caruso has had time and money for various L.A.-area projects, irritating the locals here who have to look at the wreckage. The persistent talk around town is that the project doesn’t pencil out and can’t

show a proﬁt. So, according to this reasoning, no lender’s been tempted — yet.

DISTRICT ELECTIONS? Will Santa Barbara

be required to switch from at-large city council elections to a district system? Could be, judging from a lawsuit to be filed soon by attorney Barry Cappello. Cappello says his suit, which he expects to file in about 90 days, is aimed at forcing the city to end its at-large system because it discriminates against minority residents and violates the California Voting Rights Act. Latino neighborhoods on the Eastside and Westside suffer neglect due to lack of representation, he charged. Cappello’s suit calls for creating six council districts but electing the mayor at large. The city’s population is now about 38 percent Latino, Cappello said. Cathy Murillo was elected in 2011, the first Latino since Gil Garcia served, 1991-2001. Last December, a judge ordered the city of Palmdale to switch to district voting because the at-large system impermissibly diluted the minority vote. Cappello, who is working on a pro-bono basis, declined to identify his plaintiffs at this time.

The collection 23 fine art prints from C.G. Jung’s Red Book currently on display at Pacifica Graduate Institute was originally shown at the Venice Biennale in Italy. This is its first showing in the United States. When Jung embarked on an extended period of self-exploration, The Red Book was at the heart of it. It is an illuminated volume that he created between 1914 and 1930 where he developed his theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process

of individuation. These theories transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treating the sick into a means for higher development of the personality.

Jung considered The Red Book his most important work, yet it lay unseen in a bank vault for decades. Then, in 2009, a complete facsimile and translation was published. It is an astonishing example of calligraphy and art on a par with The Book of Kells and the illuminated manuscripts of William Blake.

THE RED BOOK CARL JUNG’S SECRET JOURNAL OF RUMINATIONS, DREAMS, AND HALLUCINOGENIC DRAWINGS

hat did you see in your dreams last night? Have you ever written them down in a journal? Most people know that Carl Gustav Jung, the visionary Swiss psychoanalyst who founded the field of depth psychology and viewed a person’s inner life as a source of enlightenment and healing, spent a lifetime studying dreams and their meanings. Fewer people realize that the master of dream therapy himself surreptitiously authored a secret book filled with his own ruminations, dreams, and hallucinogenic drawings — The Red Book. After a long, furtive, and mysterious journey that began almost 100 years ago, Jung’s Red Book, hidden for generations, can be viewed in a rare showing at Pacifica Graduate Institute in a six-week free exhibit. This unusual viewing of the remarkable masterpiece is made possible through a series of high-definition, digitally enhanced, and enlarged limited-edition fine-art prints from DigitalFusion, the premier specialist in archival digital capture, and brought to Santa Barbara by the Jung Foundation and Pacifica Graduate Institute. During a crisis in Jung’s career, when he was in opposition to almost everyone in the nascent field of psychiatry, including his onetime mentor, Sigmund Freud; at a point when his marriage was threatened by an intoxicating affair with a younger analysand and professional collaborator; and when, in his own words, he was “menaced by a psychosis” by a “confrontation with the unconscious” and an “incessant stream” of visions, Jung began to secretly record not just his dreams but his hallucinations, his doubts, his demons, and his vanity. He first detailed them in a series of six black journals that came to be known as the “black books” and later transferred, refined, and illustrated his writings in a handmade, red leather-bound book, filled with thick cream-vellum paper, weighing nearly 10 pounds that Jung called simply, The Red Book.

THE BOOK In total, 77 large-scale digital prints were developed from the original pages of The Red Book, and upon viewing the suite of 23 individual 25 × 38.5 curated images on display at Paciﬁca, the vividness of Jung’s meticulous handiwork is evident. “You are able to see Jung’s personal painting,” said Willow Young, a Jungian analyst at Paciﬁca Graduate Institute who is chair of the program in counseling psychology. “Jung’s visions, inner experience, and confrontation with the unconscious have come back to life.” The massive Red Book is a lush, meticulous, hypnagogic work, chaotic but compulsively

PICTURE THIS: Carl Jung (right), the master of dream therapy, surreptitiously authored a secret book filled with his own ruminations, dreams, and hallucinogenic drawings — The Red Book. Hidden for generations, the tome can be viewed in a rare showing at Pacifica Graduate Institute in a free six-week exhibit. controlled, that Jung was driven to create. Yet despite his extraordinary care and attention, Jung never published it during his lifetime. He feared, perhaps correctly, that The Red Book could ruin his career. Europe in the early 1900s was in upheaval: World War I raged, empires fell, social boundaries were changing, and an intellectual struggle was going on in the world of psychiatry and psychoanalysis. Scientists were just beginning to interpret their own dreams and those of others. Conﬂicting methods of interpretation grew

into a test of the scientific authority and therapeutic promise. It was an intellectual, professional, and vainglorious battle waged not only on groundbreaking research into the human psyche, but also on the basis of personal and intimate accusations. Jung knew that his Red Book, should it be exposed, could be

used against him professionally and personally. Jung was already ostracized following his break with Freud, and he had resigned his position at the Burghölzli, a renowned psychiatric clinic in Zurich where he had treated the ramblings of delusional patients as material worthy of interpretation rather than as unintelligible ravings and had developed the ﬁrst word-association tests validating the role of the unconscious. He also resigned as chair of the International Psychoanalytical Association, where he had been placed by Freud. Jung was acutely aware of the risks The Red Book posed to his reputation. So Jung buried his soul into his dream journal and hid it away to protect himself. However, leading Jungian scholar Sonu Shamdasani believed that it was Jung’s intention for his “book of the soul” one day to be published and spent three years convincing the Jung Foundation and family to allow him to edit The Red Book for circulation. Shamdasani pointed to the fact that the text contains on several occasions the address “dear friends,” as if directed at an audience. And Jung let close friends have copies of transcriptions and even allowed patients to see the book, considering it a model for his clinical practice. But still the family was reluctant; Carl Jung died in 1961, and since then his heirs had kept The Red Book hidden away in a bank vault in Switzerland. Shamdasani, an author, editor, and professor at the University College London Centre for the History of Medicine, waged a campaign to get the book published. Although not a Jungian, he studied Jung for decades and was drawn to the breadth of his psychology as well as his knowledge of Eastern thought. And despite Jung’s own claim that he was on the verge of mental collapse when he wrote the book, Shamdasani disagrees. “It wasn’t a breakdown. While he was doing this, he was maintaining

BOOK OF THE SOUL: Jung considered The Red Book the genesis, nucleus, and source of all his subsequent work on archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation. his practice, seeing patients, attending to clerical work, and performing his duties with his family,” Shamdasani said. “This isn’t automatic drawing. It’s extraordinarily controlled. It’s not art therapy. Jung saw it as a religious quest. It was always intended for an audience.” Shamdasani did ﬁnally get the family’s consent to his request; it took an additional 13 years to translate and edit The Red Book and ﬁnally arrange publication in 2009, along with more than 1,000 footnotes.“This has lasted longer than the Trojan War,” Shamdasani quipped. “Overall the narrative of the book is how Jung recovers his soul, recovers meaning in his life … and in so doing he created a psychology that creates a vehicle for others to regain meaning in their life.” Jung considered The Red Book the genesis, nucleus, and the source of all his subsequent work on archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation. It distinguished Jung from his mentor Sigmund Freud and laid claim to some of the most important discoveries regarding the human psyche. It makes one think that without The Red Book, Jung might have been a mere footnote in history.

THE LEGACY Today, Jung’s influence is so pervasive that it can easily be taken for granted as a basic building block of Western culture. If you’ve ever embraced or rolled your eyes at a New Age philosopher, sat in a chair opposite a counselor instead of lying on a couch, discussed whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, or wondered at the results of a Myers-Briggs test, then you’ve felt the influence of Carl Jung. If art therapy has been beneficial to you or your children or if you have studied in the crosscurrents of Eastern and Western religion and contemplated the notion of spirituality or attended Alcoholics Anonymous or meditated as a form of recovery, then you’ve experienced the far reaching effects of Jung’s work. He wasn’t perhaps the only source for these endeavors and understandings, but he was certainly a pioneer in exploring them. Jung’s sway in art is legendary — artists as diverse as Jackson Pollock, Federico Fellini, and Martha Graham have cited his influence. And for better or worse, Jung is the original source, via his disciple Joseph Campbell, of Hollywood’s infatuation with “the hero’s journey” as a vehicle for box-office success. Although Jung warned against hero worship, Hollywood studio filmmaking has burdened every male hero and comic-book character with a dramatic arc based on the hero’s journey that has now been bludgeoned to death on the screens of American cinema. But reading The Red Book reinvigorates and washes clean the over-used clichés of archetypal study and reasserts the authenticity of the inner journey. That is why The Red Book is so important.“Jungian content is so diluted today,”

_Spring_Arts_Preview_ Shamdasani said recently, “that it’s like low-alcohol beer. This book has the real blood in it.” Earlier this month, the symposium The Art and Transformative Psychology of C.G. Jung’s Red Book at Pacifica Graduate Institute proved that Jung’s Red Book has already taken on a new life of its own. Given the interdisciplinary presentations by the wide variety of speakers, this 100-year-old “encyclopedic palace of the imagination,” with its ornate calligraphy and psychedelic illustrations, its incantations and entrancing mandalas, and sometimes grisly painted panels, has already begun to be assimilated into our cultural understanding. Depending on whom you ask, Jung’s Red Book is a dream book, visionary literature, a spiritual footprint, a portal into the active imagination, a cherished totem for followers, a rebellion against the psychiatric establishment, an entrance into another world, a bible for therapeutic Gnosticism, a model for patients or anyone who chooses to find their own way through an inner journey, a mindaltering LSD trip without drugs, a manual of spiritual alchemy for self-transformation and self-development, or simply a record of one man’s mental breakdown. To art critic and Huffington Post contributor Peter Frank, it remains a great work of art. “It is an endlessly fascinating and staggeringly luxurious artifact, a thing of beauty and of magic,” he wrote. “It could pass for a Bible rendered by a medieval monk, especially for the care with which Jung entered his writing as ornate Gothic script.” It just happens that his art is “dedicated not to the glory of God or king, but to that of the human race.” As such The Red Book asserts by its mere existence Jung’s clearest and most important departure from the psychiatry of Freudian inclinations. Rather than placing the therapist on a pedestal and treating the patient as cut off and unaware of his or her truth, Jungian depth psychology and dream analysis is a model for trusting oneself and one’s imagination and having the courage to face one’s own demons. It heralds the creative transformation of self. According to Young, “It expands our capacity as therapists to receive the unconscious and the psyche and to trust the patient model for trusting yourself as opposed to telling a patient what is wrong with them.” Pacifica Graduate Institute founding president Dr. Stephen Aizenstat stresses that The Red Book tells us not to be afraid of our dreams even if we’re under attack.“The secret of The Red Book story is being an adapter and utilizing your inner resources,” he said. “If you’re tapped into your creativity and ingenuity, it’s hard to be anxious and depressed and creative at the same time.”

THE WOUNDED HEALER The Red Book begins with the words “the way of what is to come …” and Hugh Milstein, cofounder and president of DigitalFusion, said that after poring over these prints endlessly, he discovered something intriguing. “There’s a hidden egg, a little egg in almost every one,” he said. Then, pointing at a series of prints from The Red Book, he shows that “the egg starts to give oﬀ light and then to explode

ILLUMINATING MANUSCRIPT: “It could pass for a Bible rendered by a medieval monk,” art critic Peter Frank said of The Red Book. It just happens that Jung’s art is “dedicated not to the glory of God or king, but to that of the human race.” out.” Not being a Jungian scholar, he hesitates to draw a meaning from his observation. But clearly Jung meant for all of us to make up our own minds and to come to our own conclusions. “There is only one way, and that is your way,” Jung writes at one point in The Red Book. “You seek the path? I warn you away from my own. It can also be the wrong path for you. May each go his own way. I will be no savior, no lawgiver, no master teacher unto you. You are no longer little children. … May each seek out his own way. The way leads to mutual love in community. Men will come to see and feel the similarity and commonality of their ways.” Intrigued by stories of miraculous healing and alchemy as metaphor, Jung likely knew that in that period when he was writing The Red Book, he fit one of the archetypes he was most famous for defining — that of the Wounded Healer, the Wise Man, the Hermit on the mountain who retreats to rediscover the principles of healing, who humbles himself before visions of the divine. As shown by figures in myth as ancient as Chiron (the centaur famous for his healing powers while suffering from a wound that would never heal) and Merlin the magician and his Shadow and as contemporary as Gandalf, Dumbledore, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and, of course, even Darth Vader, one must take the inner journey and follow one’s own path. So look for the hidden egg and follow it through Jung’s Red Book drawings and marvel at what it might have meant to Jung and what it might mean to you.

ew artists have captured the heart of a generation

the way that Beck has. In the 1990s, his seemingly haphazard mix of lo-fi rock and hip-hop tropes made believers out of droves of music fans. And in the years since, the Los Angeles–bred songwriter has earned accolades from even the most unlikely of critics. In ’96, his Odelay soundtracked an era of post-metal, nu-grunge youth; on Midnite Vultures, he channeled a version of R&B pseudo-disco that struck a chord in spite of its over-the-top tendencies; and come 2002’s Sea Change, he successfully carved a space in the tearful singer/songwriter canon with a curveball collection of heartfelt and striking unadorned arrangements. In the years since, Beck has made a whacked-out ode to the City of Angels (2005’s Guero) and embraced the digital realm with open arms (2006’s The Information). On his latest, this year’s Morning Phase, the man less known as Beck Hansen harks back to a stark, more simplified version of himself. The album sticks mostly to acoustic-guitar and piano arrangements and finds the singer opening up about and coming to terms with life as a father and husband. Sure, it may not be as adventurous as we’ve seen him in the past,

_More_Pop,_Rock_&_Jazz_

but this Beck is just one in a countless number of variations. More importantly, though, Morning Phase makes it known that, even in singer/songwriter mode, Beck is taking chances and making choices that most artists would never dare to try.

laywright Bill Cain has guts. In

Equivocation, his 2009 drama that will be produced at UCSB’s Hatlen Theater this spring, he not only dramatizes the man Shakespeare but also invents a whole new Shakespeare play based on the notorious Gunpowder Plot in which angry Roman Catholics tunneled under Parliament in an attempt to blow up King James I. The idea of a drama based on the Gunpowder Plot comes to the Bard as a “suggestion” straight from King James, and the show’s story follows Shakespeare as he investigates the case and eventually bridles at the thought of writing propaganda. Cain, once a Jesuit himself, and an extraordinarily erudite scholar of the playwright and the period, has come up with something that’s at once deliriously clever and shockingly direct. As one of the many real-life characters portrayed Metamorphoses by the small cast of six puts it to Shakespeare, “You’ve killed more kings than any man in England.” At UCSB’s Hatlen Theater, May 23-31.

MARINELLA SENATORE:

BUILDING COMMUNITIES AT THE

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART SANTA BARBARA

n a world where contemporary art would

seem to have mined every approach imaginable, what’s new under the big black sun? Complete immersion in the artistic process, that’s what. Some time in early May, about a week prior to her exhibition opening at MCA Santa Barbara, Berlin-based artist Marinella Senatore will arrive in town ready to engage. Senatore will be bringing a retrospective of her recent work in the form of ﬁlms, photographs, paintings, and other documentation, but she will also arrive charged with creating an original work that’s based on the people she meets here in Santa Barbara, because the core concept of Senatore’s art is total participation of the audience in the creation of the work. The only speciﬁc detail that the artist will tie

herself to at this point is that she will be staging a parade to celebrate the MCA’s transition to museum status. The rest will work itself out when she gets here and begins her process of auditions, photo shoots, and public events. Expect to be surprised: Senatore is a highly accomplished ﬁlmmaker in the tradition of Fellini and Antonioni, and her spectacles elsewhere have resulted in ravishing short ﬁlms. One can only imagine what they must be like viewed from the inside, as the artist intends. At the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, May 11 - August 17.

CELEBRATING NURSES In celebration of Certified Nurses Day on March 19, Cottage Health System is proud to recognize its 400 board-certified nurses for their professionalism, leadership, and commitment to excellence in patient care. Nursing, like health care in general, has become increasingly complex. The knowledge-intensive requirements of modern nursing require extensive education, as well as a strong personal commitment to excellence. Board certification of nurses plays an increasingly important role in the assurance of high standards of patient care. Nursing certification specialties now include medical-surgical, pediatric, pain management, cardiac-vascular, oncology, hospice, case management, emergency nursing, critical care and many others. Cottage Health System encourages national board certification for all of its nurses. Today and every day, we honor our nurses’ dedication, professionalism and hard work.

Cottage is a not-for-profit, community organization providing medical excellence close to home. WWW.COTTAGEHEALTHSYSTEM.ORG

Side-Splitting Memoir

umor, writes Gary Shteyn-gart in his engrossing memoir, Little Failure, is “the last resort of the besieged Jew, especially when he is placed amongg his own kind.” Shteyngart knows what it means to be besieged — by the ghosts of relatives killed in Rus-sia during World War II, and by the American culture into which he is thrust in 1978 at the age of 7 when his Jewish parents are allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union. To be lifted from “fourteen shades of Stalin-era beige” and dropped into Technicolor America is as ristened Gary vertiginous to the young Igor (rechristened to save him some physical and psychological torment) as the dissolution of the Soviet Union will be to millions of people some 13 years later. As a memoirist, the award-winning Shteyngart is unﬂinchingly honest. He arrives in New York convinced that he is crossing the threshold of the Soviet Union’s most implacable enemy. Not only is his family poor and dependent on charity, but Shteyngart is a diminutive and nerdy asthmatic who speaks less than a dozen words of English and bears an unpronounceable surname. His overprotective mother spies danger around every corner and sews Gary’s mittens to his coat so they won’t get lost. Against this foolproof recipe for peer ridicule and angst, Shteyngart deploys a precocious mind and an acute sense of humor. By turns poignant and hilarious, Little Failure contains echoes of Franz — Brian Tanguay Kafka, the Marx Brothers, and Philip Roth.

above: “We didn’t realize how unique this would be for international tourists; having a car like this is illegal in most countries,” said Justin Plackett while sitting with his wife, Andrea, in their stretched 1927 Ford Model T. Justin has been taking folks on tours in the Santa Barbara Hot Rod Limo for about a year now. The Hot Rod Limo was even featured in a French TV commercial about the California coast. “We figured with the weather here, this would be a great town for something like this,” added Andrea. right: “I was playing Pictionary with my daughter, and she was so surprised I could draw, so I started drawing again!” said Gino Pagliaro, while standing next to his booth, Portraits by Pawcasso, at the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show on Cabrillo Boulevard. Gino is a retired physical-education professor from Antelope Valley College who now sells paintings and does commissioned portraits of Santa Barbara’s pets.

CALL FOR Summer Camp Stories

“This one time at band camp, I …” said Alyson Hannigan’s character in 1999’s infamously raunchy film American Pie. And while the second half of the sentence is shockingly memorable, we at The Indy are only interested in the first bit — and not just at band camps. Our annual Summer Camp issue hits the stands on April 10, and we thought it would be fun to include camp memories from Santa Barbarans. Here are the rules (please read carefully): Submit a 300word piece about one of your summer camp experiences: a memorable moment, a funny occurrence, a whimsical experience, a life lesson learned. Include your full name and contact information and attach a digital photo of you at said camp (if possible). Stories must be appropriate for all ages — i.e., no American Pie–like high jinks. The deadline is Monday, March 31, 2014. Send submissions (subject line: Camp Stories Contest) via email to campstories@independent.com. — Michelle Drown

Gaucho Basketball Is Defeated While Baseball Team Owns the Field

fter the shocker came the Shockers, and UCSB sports fans started to feel a little better about things. The shocker was the Gauchos’ dreadful 31-point defeat at the hands of Cal Poly in the opening game of the Big West men’s basketball tournament last Thursday. It was hardly the most mystifying event in a week that a huge airliner vanished, but it was a headscratcher nonetheless. Poly’s subsequent run to the championship made UCSB’s stumble only slightly less painful. (“Hey, we lost to the 68th seed in the NCAA tournament.”) The season is best remembered by the Gauchos’ rout of the Runnin’ Rebels in Las Vegas and their home victories over Cal and UC Irvine, two occasions when they were the aggressors from the opening tip to the final horn. The next day, it was apparent the sky had not fallen on Gaucholand. The weekend baseball series between UCSB and the Wichita State Shockers at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium was played in bright sunshine. The Gauchos took the opener, 2-1, behind the brilliant pitching of sophomore Justin Jacome. His effort was appreciated even more on Saturday, when the Shockers banged out 17 hits in a 16-5 victory. The Gauchos rallied to win the rubber match Sunday, 3-2. That was the 13th consecutive series that they have either won or tied. “We’re resilient,” UCSB coach Andrew Checketts said. “That’s the best team we faced. After getting bludgeoned, beat up really bad, the guys showed they have a short memory.” With a 13-3 record, the Gauchos are getting noticed. They are ranked in the top 20 by two national publications, Collegiate Baseball (15th) and Baseball America (19th). Sunday’s game came to a dramatic conclusion. With one out in the bottom of the ninth, Billy Fredrick drove in the winning run on a double that one-hopped the fence in right field. Fredrick, a freshman from Santa Clarita, has had three collegiate at-bats, all as a pinch hitter. The results: a triple, a single, and a double. He is a home run away from beginning his career with the cycle. It may not be as improbable as a perfect NCAA basketball bracket, but it’s still an odds-defying prospect. “I was a little nervous,” said Fredrick, whose walk-off double came on a 3-1 pitch.“The way my team had been battling the whole game, I didn’t want to let them down. [Wichita State] knocked us down, and we wanted to get up and punch them back. I was lucky to get a pitch I liked.” Sophomore southpaw Domenic Mazza pitched into the seventh inning after giving up two early runs to Wichita State, and junior Greg Mahle picked up the victory in relief. Joey Epperson’s solo home run in the fifth inning — extending his hitting streak to 21 games — ignited UCSB’s comeback. The senior outfielder, batting leadoff for the Gauchos, is hitting at a .484 clip. Epperson came to UCSB from Santa Barbara City College last season. He hit his stride as a Division  player at the same time the Gauchos made their run into the NCAA tournament.“We went from uncertainty to realizing that we’re right up there with the best of them,” Epperson said.“That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. Every game, every practice, we have to show up.” The Gauchos’ diligence showed in the sacrifice bunts

he scored the tying run on a wild pitch in the sixth inning. After Andrew Calica led oﬀ the ninth with a single, Nesovic bunted him to second. He was able to race home after Fredrick’s blast landed behind the right ﬁelder. The Gauchos play a four-game series this weekend (March 21-23) — including a Saturday double-header — against Wagner College from Staten Island, N.Y., and the following weekend Hawai‘i comes into Uyesaka Stadium to open the Big West Conference season.

HAPPY HOOPSTERS: “March Sadness” is the

cliché whenever a basketball team falters in the postseason, but it was hard to ﬁnd disappointed losers last Sunday at the 14th annual Special Olympics

TEAM WORK: Last Sunday, 38 teams from San Luis Obispo to Burbank competed in the daylong, 14th annual Special Olympics Regional Basketball Tournament at UCSB’s Thunderdome. Shouts and cheers punctuated the clamor of floor play whenever a shot found the hoop. above: The Northern S.B. County team huddled for a strategy talk during a timeout. left: Ventura went toe-to-toe against Santa Clarita.

Regional Basketball Tournament. Thirty-eight teams

from San Luis Obispo to Burbank competed in the daylong event, fully utilizing the six courts inside UCSB’s Thunderdome. Shouts and cheers punctuated the clamor of floor play whenever a shot found the hoop. On at least one occasion, an otherwise spectacular layup was waived off by the referee because a young man made it at his opponent’s end. A teachable moment. “This is more fun than running a DUI check,” said Sheriff ’s Lieutenant Butch Arnoldi, a longtime supporter of Special Olympics. His duty was to drape medals around the smiling — and sometimes serious — faces of the players after they completed their three games in different divisions. Gold, silver, and bronze were equally cherished. The host organization, Special Olympics of Santa Barbara County, mustered dozens of volunteers to make the big event a success. They should be proud.

DONS RALLY: Santa Barbara High was one of the last

teams standing as the CIF State Girls Basketball Championships entered the regional semiﬁnals this week. It was

a wild scene in J.R. Richards Gym last Saturday when the Dons, trailing by eight points at halftime, outscored La Cañada 40-20 in the second half to secure a 55-43 victory. Santa Barbara’s furious defensive pressure rattled the visitors in the third quarter, and Jada Howard’s high-arching three-point shots kept them at bay in the fourth.

BIG SHOTS: Noah Bryant entered some rareﬁed terri-

tory this month when USC made the Carpinteria High grad a Heritage Award recipient — equivalent to entering the Trojan track-and-ﬁeld hall of fame. Bryant was the 2007 NCAA champion and set the school record in the shot put (67 5½ ). He is currently coaching at Texas A&M. … The latest shot-put standout to emerge from these parts is Dos Pueblos High senior Stamatia Scarvelis. She had a stellar junior year, in which she won her second state championship and claimed the gold medal at the Pan-American Junior Games. Scarvelis, who is committed to UCLA, pushed her all-time best to 53 8¼ at in indoor meet in Idaho last month. She will compete in both the shot and discus on Saturday, March 22, at the Santa Barbara Easter Relays at SBCC’s La Playa Stadium.

breathe air from the surface into a swim bladder that is modified into a pseudo-lung. They eat fish and small mammals and will even defend their territory from humans, leaping from the water like acrobatic salmon and packing a mighty whack. According to Isaac Gherson, the CEO of the Amazone project, paiche are grown in specially created ponds in the Amazon rain forest where they are fed pellets made from Peruvian anchovies without other animal byproducts. They breed naturally and are grown at low densities. The ponds are continuously flushed with fresh, clean water from the Amazon. Worried about Fukushima radiation in your fish? You can’t get much farther away from Japan on this planet than the Amazon. The fish is popular as an ingredient in trendy Peruvian restaurants, such as Mo-Chica and, fittingly, Paiche in Los Angeles.“I love this fish,” said Chef Ricardo Zarate, who owns those two restaurants and recently opened the Blue Tavern on State Street in Santa Barbara. “It’s an amazing fish, like a mix between black cod and monkfish.” He serves it as ceviche (thin-sliced or carpaccio style), baked, or grilled (but don’t overcook). In my own kitchen, I dusted a zesty fish rub on one side of a fillet and bread crumbs on the other and then pan-seared it in a mix of olive oil and butter, 3 minutes per side. Then I finished it with a few minutes in the oven at 350°F. The fish was mild and tender. Garnish with a dab of Peruvian ají and sprig of cilantro. The paiche exported by Amazone are registered and certified as farmed fish and do not impact depleted wild populations. The company has been involved in projects (with the World Wildlife Fund) to restock paiche in their natural environment, thus benefiting native fishers who supply their nearby markets and might someday develop export markets. Cultivating paiche is a reasonable approach to encourage and support low-impact development that is sustainable to the health of the Amazon rain forest and its inhabitants. How do we protect ourselves, the rain forest, and the region’s farmers? Consider buying from certified reputable sources who guarantee that the product is farmed in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. ■ SEAFOOD SAVIOR? Whole Foods is now serving up paiche at its seafood counter, as held here by Danny the fishmonger.

HOTEL BARS

Bourbon & Boone / Pork Tostadas Pairing ’til March 31

f you’ve forgotten that the Santa Barbara waterfront is home to a quietly cozy watering hole and patio with sweeping views, smiling service, and validated parking, it’s a good time to remember the Fess Parker DoubleTree’s hotel bar, known these days as The Set ( Cabrillo Blvd.; fpdtr.com; [800] 879-2929). As part of an ongoing hotel promotion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the hit TV show Daniel Boone (starring, of course, Parker), the bar is now pouring the Bourbon & Boone, a mix of Cutler’s Artisan Spirits’ booze with sweet maple syrup, spicy muddled jalapeños, lemon juice, and soda water.“It’s a little sweet and little spicy at the same time,” explained the hotel’s Beth Olson, who recommends pairing it with the sweet and smokey pulled-pork tostadas on the menu, also existing in the amply spiced yet nicely sweet range. The package — which includes the drink and dish for two

along with a bottle of Fess Parker Winery wine and a room for $189 until April 30 — combines Boone’s Kentucky ancestry (the bourbon), Parker (he loved spice, and there’s even a Fess-style tuna melt on the menu), and Santa Barbara, for Cutler’s is made just a few blocks away in the Funk Zone. And speakDRINK UP: The Fess Parker Doubleing of that ’hood, the hotel Tree is now serving the Bourbon & is also oﬀering the SIP & Boone cocktail, made from Cutler’s Artisan Spirits, jalapeños, maple SUP package: two-for-one syrup, and more. tastings at seven Funk Zone wineries and kayak or stand-up paddle board rentals for two plus a room for $169 until May 31. “You can literally walk to both things if you wanted,” said Olson of the resort’s proximity to both the Funk Zone and the Santa Barbara Harbor. The deals come on the heels of the hotel’s recent touch-up of every one of their 360 rooms, which they powered through in less than four months.“It was the world’s fastest renovation,” said Olson, but she was quick to note that while the hotel spent $7 million or so focused on the tourists, the Fess Parker is just as friendly to midday — Matt Kettmann locals as to its overnight customers.

COUTESY

slab of white meat behind the fish counter at Whole Foods caught my eye.“What’s that fish there?” I asked. “That’s paiche. You want a piece?” I was looking for something new, and with the Chilean sea bass and king salmon at over twice the price, I decided to give it a try. Good move: The paiche was delicious. Later I learned it is healthy and sustainable. Paiche (pronounced pie·chay) is raised in ponds in the Amazon rain forest by a Peruvian company named Amazone. Its product is imported by the U.S. company ArtisanFish and sourced by the green-buying fish brokers at Whole Foods. Paiche is raised without antibiotics, vaccines, or hormones and is free of mercury and metals. Containing 20 grams of protein per 100 gram serving, paiche is comparable to beef fillet and chicken breast but with a lot less fat (1 gram) and calories (89). Paiche is high in omega-3 oils with a favorable ratio to omega-6s (1:1). Compare that to another “white meat,” the pork chop, which has 19.3 grams of protein, 20 grams of fat, a poor omega ratio, and 260 calories. Thanks, but I’ll take the paiche. Arapaima gigas is one of the largest freshwater fishes in the world, with the biggest of the beasts stretching to 9 feet and weighing upward of 400 pounds. It is a prehistoric finfish, whose lineage branched off 220 million years ago in the late Triassic. Dinosaurs probably ate the ancestral paiche, and now the fish is even hunted by jaguars in the wild. An unusual feature of this torpedo-shaped fish is that they

t the end of the long and curvy Jalama Road, where sharp gusts and cold breakers chip away at the corner of California, exists a world-famous hamburger stacked with lean beef, fresh-cut veggies, and pickle chips and slathered with secret sauce. This March marks the 35th anniversary of the Jalama Burger™, a simple comfort so coveted its creator trademarked it. “Yeah, that’s my wife, Kathy’s, invention,” says Don Eittreim, 79, owner of the Jalama Beach Store & Grill. Kathy Eittreim passed away early last year, leaving her husband of 58 years and one of their five children (plus various grandkids, of which they have nine) to run the small beachfront café and camping-supply store. “She talked me into buying this place back in 1978,” remembers Don. “She knew we could create something special out here.” Exposed to open ocean and all the weather that comes with it, Eittreim’s outpost is located at Jalama Beach County Park, roughly 20 miles from Lompoc and 60 from downtown Santa Barbara. For decades, Jalama has been a destination for surfers, windsurfers, beachcombers, fans of wildlife, and families who like adventuresome camping without severing all ties to civilization. Some days, Jalama’s bitter cold and blowing 50 knots with stinging rain. Others, it’s tranquil and azure with a view to the edge of the planet. Every day — except for Thanksgiving and Christmas — the grill is open, offering a sizable menu of breakfast, lunch, and early dinner. The burgers are its best sellers. Says Vaughn Montgomery, 36, whose family has been making weeklong holiday camping trips to Jalama every year since before he was born: “For a wave-beaten, sun-blinded, windblasted soul — still high from surfing and the long walk back to camp — to sit there on that still patio and sink into a Jalama Burger, especially with a can of cold beer, is enough to make the saltwater run out of your nose onto the lettuce and onion!” While a lengthy campout could very well turn an American standard into a transcendent meal, foodies on a mission need not commit to picturesque visions of nasal drainage to taste the Jalama Burger experience. There might be a secret to what’s inside, but this burger’s got day trip written all over it. — Keith Hamm

GIRLS ROCK S.B. STEPS INTO THE SPOTLIGHT

t’s been a busy year for Jen Baron. Since launching Girls Rock S.B. (GRSB) in the fall of 2012, the 33-yearold mother of one has been charging full steam ahead in an attempt to get her newborn nonprof off the ground. Initially founded as a music camp to help empower young girls, GRSB has grown leaps and bounds since its inception. Now, in addition to summer-camp intensives, Baron is hosting year-round after-school programs for girls ages 6-17 that include semi-private music lessons, band practices, deejaying, ’zine making, and much, much more. “While we’re a music program for girls, that’s not really our core mission statement,” explained Baron over coffee last week. “We’re a self-empowerment program; we’re a self-confidence-building program. Music is the delivery system to facilitate it.” A longtime songwriter and Santa Barbara native, Baron admits that she was never inclined to share her own music growing up, due to fear and low selfesteem. “I had all these feelings about not being good enough,” she said. “But over the course of my dad being sick and him encouraging me to record my music, and

going into a studio and hearing people tell me they liked my music, I really started to believe in myself in a way I had never done before.” Spurred by her own experience, Baron tapped into the Girls Rock Camp Alliance (GRCA), an international support group that promotes female empowerment through music. Not long after, she was on a plane to Georgia to attend the annual GRCA conference. Six weeks later, GRSB was born. Currently, the nonproﬁt boasts more than 100 unpaid volunteers, who do everything from teach guitar and songwriting to lead workshops on media literacy and “punk rock yoga.” This Saturday, the girls of GRSB will host their second annual beneﬁt at the Marjorie Luke Theatre. Titled Push, the evening-length performance event is a cross-section of live music, dance, and silent auction.“It’s like Cirque du Soleil meets a killer rock concert,” Baron said. Participating dance groups include Ventura’s Airealistic Circus and Flying School, the Montecito School of Ballet, nebula Dance Lab, Luminario Ballet, Fusion Dance Company, Invertigo Dance Theatre, and Studio B Dance. Bands on the bill range from singer/

songwriters like Jamey Geston, Brandi Letini, Kate Graves, and Sophie Rose to full-on bands like Stolen Thunder, Bear and Anchor, and The Fire Department. S.B. dancers Robin Bisio and Kaita Lepore will also perform. “What I love to do as an artist, and what I’m trying to encourage our girls to do, is to push the boundaries of what you think you’re capable of doing, of what you think is possible in art,” she explained. “Our show is all about going against the grain, and that’s what makes it unique. That’s what makes it stand out.” Girls Rock S.B. presents Push at the Marjorie Luke Theatre ( E. Cota St.) on Saturday, March 22, at 7 p.m. A silent auction to raise funds for the organization takes place at 6 p.m. For tickets and more about GRSB, visit girlsrocksb.org. — Aly Comingore

Kenny Rogers

L L O RTHE DICE I first encountered Kenny Rogers’s “The Gambler” when my high school history teacher wrote the lyrics in the back of my junior yearbook. Like any words of wisdom delivered to a 16-year-old, his message was met with a bewildered “Huh?” before quickly dissolving into a mental sea of fast-food cravings and Blink- bass tabs; I was oblivious to the value and significance of the Gambler’s words. Rogers’s solo career was launched by the song “Lucille,” a Billboard Country Chart topper that gave the singer some much needed traction after the breakup of The First Edition, with whom Rogers enjoyed a reasonably successful 10-year run. In regard to knowing when to run, however, Rogers’s career has been more of a marathon than a sprint. Not only was he voted America’s favorite singer of all time (in a 1986 joint poll by USA Today and People Magazine); his appearance on The Muppet Show in 1979 remains one of the show’s finHEADLINES est musical moments. Puppet show appearances aside, though, Rogers’s résumé includes some serious accolades: countless AMAs and CMAs, multiple Grammy Awards, 130 million in record sales, and a critically acclaimed performance in the 1980 television special Kenny Rogers as The Gambler. Rogers’s legacy is, no doubt, cemented in his work ethic, exemplified by the length and breadth of a career that’s spanned nearly 60 years, 30 number-one singles, 32 studio albums, and more than two dozen acting roles. A vast and extensive repertoire has both obliged and provided Rogers with the opportunity to be relatively versatile, making it no coincidence that he is, by and large, credited with bridging the gap between country and pop music charts — something that most modern tank-topped country stars still fail to do. There are few songs that have proved as transcendent as “The Gambler,” and that’s a credit to Rogers. The Gambler’s wisdom has been heeded since the song’s release in 1978 because we, collectively, believe in Rogers. It’s a trust born of a 50-yearlong relationship. Kenny Rogers plays Chumash Casino Resort ( E. Highway , Santa Ynez) on Thursday, March 20, at 8 p.m. Call (800) 248-6274 or visit chumashcasino.com for tickets and info. —Jake Blair

ROGERS CHUMASH CASINO

The adage “Good things come to those who wait” has proved true for fans of Toad the Wet Sprocket. Nearly two decades after disbanding, the four original members have come back together and created a stunning album in New Constellation. The first single and title track is bright and full-bodied, proving that the group’s talent for creating tantalizing aural hooks has not diminished over the years. Time away has also seasoned the band’s musical sensibilities, highlighted in the delicate “Golden Age” and jazzy undertones of “Rare Bird.” Lyrically, the record is poetic, at times eﬀervescent (“Life Is Beautiful”), occasionally devastating (“Enough,” “California Wasted”), and always thoughtful. “We will return …” Glen Phillips sings on “Golden Age” — and so they have, better than ever. Phillips gives a solo performance on Wednesday, March 26, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club ( State St.). Call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com for tickets and info. — Michelle Drown

The Visionary Company of Style Ganna Walska: Enemy of the Average, plus an associated lecture on Tony Duquette by Hutton Wilkinson. At Lotusland, Saturday, March 8. Shows through May 17. Reviewed by Charles Donelan

he title of the current exhibition at Lotusland amplifies a declaration that Madame Ganna Wa lska once made about herself. “I am the enemy of the average,” she said, thus aligning her taste with that of several other extraordinary international figures of her era, including the deco- GANNA’S GOWNS: Madame Ganna rator and social- Walska’s couture clothing makes up part of ite Elsie de Wolfe, the exhibit Enemy of the Average. Dodie Rosekrans, and the genius interior decorator, set designer, and jeweler Tony Duquette. On Saturday, March 8, Lotusland presented a slide lecture by Hutton Wilkinson to accompany the exhibit, and Wilkinson, Duquette’s former business partner and an important decorator and designer in his own right, captivated the crowd at this sold-out event with sly humor, encyclopedic knowledge, and an awesome collection of images. As a sought-after decorator with an elite clientele, Wilkinson claims that he has “never had to do more than one house a year,” which is wonderful because it leaves him time to decorate his own home (which has been featured admiringly in Vanity Fair), give these charming talks, and write multiple books about his great friend and mentor, Tony Duquette. Through his lecture, which was often hilarious, Wilkinson illuminated the fascinating and inexplicably neglected subculture of fantasy and glamour that swirled around some of the world’s richest women beginning in the early 20th century and lasting into the 21st. Several members of the audience, clearly hip to the scene, arrived decked out in Duquette jewelry and were singled out for recognition by the speaker. The Duquette style mixes high and low recklessly, pairing priceless antiques with such detritus as repurposed cafeteria trays in pursuit of dazzling effects. Wilkinson characterized the sensibility that he shares with Duquette in terms of color by saying, “Coral to me is like white. It’s almost a neutral.” These Los Angeles artists came of age in the era of the surrealists. Once when Duquette’s wife, Elizabeth “Beegle” Johnstone, entered a Hollywood party with a variegated ivy leaf in her hair as a decoration, it so impressed Man Ray that he ran to get his camera and took her photo. Like the surrealists, their emphasis was on bringing something fantastic to life, or, as Wilkinson put it in describing Duquette’s film work, to portray “dreams caught in the net of reality.” Most interesting for those who dote on Lotusland were the suggestions Wilkinson made about how Duquette’s work may have influenced Ganna Walska, and there were several. First of all, Duquette created several fantastic private environments for himself, two of which — his 150-acre fantasy ranch in Malibu and his San Francisco temple for St. Francis — were subsequently destroyed by fire. Along with Dawnridge, the legendary Beverly Hills home that Duquette transformed into a tour de force of design gone wild, these three estates make up some of the most useful analogues available to those seeking to understand the context in which Madame Walska created her masterpiece in Montecito. In addition, Duquette was sometimes referred to as “Tony Abalone” for his profligate use of the shell, a gesture one sees repeated in Lotusland’s aloe garden, which is anchored by a white-bottomed abalone-shell pool. Wilkinson also emphasized Duquette’s passion for creativity and his undying enthusiasm for encouraging it in others, such as his dear friend Ganna Walska.“Beauty, not luxury,” Duquette was known to exclaim when people expressed shock that he would combine high-priced items with recycled refuse, and upon consideration, this credo is not at all a bad way to begin thinking about the stimulating strangeness of Ganna Walska’s creations, as well. This visionary company of style existed in a heroic era for fantasy, and Lotusland remains the greatest monument to their collective achievement.

DOUBLE DUTY: Violinist Joshua Bell plays in and conducts this Friday’s classical concert from the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

BOTH SIDES NOW

Joshua Bell Plays with and Conducts Academy of St. Martin in the Fields by Charles Donelan

he combination of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields (ASMF) and violinist/conductor Joshua Bell is proving to be one of the most exciting and powerful alliances in contemporary classical music. And it’s not just about Bell’s status as a crossover superstar or the Academy’s long-standing reputation for flawless technique and historically informed performance. Rather, the unanimous acclaim this group has received has centered on the chemistry between the two. The passion and humility with which Bell participates alongside his musical colleagues has set off a sympathetic response in the orchestra, and the result has been an unbroken series of triumphs, both in the concert hall and on record. Bell and the Academy return to the Granada on Friday, March 21, for CAMA’s International Series. They will play works by Bach, Beethoven (his Symphony No. ), Saint-Saëns, and Schubert. I spoke with Bell by phone last week, and he reflected on his collaboration with the ASMF, on conducting while playing, and on the greatness of Bach and Beethoven.

ENCORE SEASON

MARCH 22NAMES. BIG

In Santa Barbara, the program includes a Bach violin concerto. How would you describe your approach to Bach? Bach withstands so many different approaches. I mean, even Switched-On Bach [the synthesizer arrangements of Walter/Wendy Carlos] retains the beauty of his style, so it’s not like there’s only one right way to play his music. The beauty will still come through. Both the ASMF and I have been heavily influenced by early-music approaches, but that doesn’t mean we will jump into that style with both feet. The ASMF does, however, have a certain early-music sensibility, and that will affect it. You’ve had such success right away with this combined role of conductor and soloist. Should conductors be worried? Are musicians like you going to render them obsolete? No, that’s not going to happen. Orchestras do still need conductors. The fact that I’m not spending the entire concert standing on a podium waving a stick doesn’t mean that I don’t prep the orchestra in rehearsal just like any other conductor would. Good conductors know when to push and when to lay back. I’ve known so many great conductors that I’m still doing what I can to learn the craft of this role. But if you look back, the history of music makes it seem less strange — Beethoven himself was more than one thing. So one way I think about what I’m doing now is that I’m trying to bring out more than one side of Beethoven. That’s what I’m after. CAMA presents Joshua Bell and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields at the Granada Theatre (1214 State St.) on Friday, March 21, at 8 p.m. For tickets and information, call 899-2222 or visit camasb.org.

Regina Carter Southern Comfort

What’s it like conducting and playing at the same time? How does it work? In concertos I stand up, and I conduct with the bow when I’m not playing. During symphonies I sit, but sometimes I stop playing to conduct. Being seated in a section allows me to feel more like we’re playing chamber music, which is how I like to approach it. How has your role as conductor influenced your experience of the music you play? The symphonies are the things that, as a soloist, I’ve not gotten to play. I used to travel the world playing concertos, and then I would sit and listen to the symphony. Now I play on both, and while it is exhausting, it is also very rewarding. Playing the Beethoven symphonies, for example, is a consummate experience for a musician because Beethoven speaks so directly to who we are as people.

GETS BACK TO HIS ROOTS BEN MOON

Singer/Songwriter Returns to the Lobero with Smoke and Mirrors by Aly Comingore

hen the wellspring of inspiration runs dry, many artists find themselves returning to their roots. For singer/songwriter Brett Dennen, those roots are buried deep in the wilderness of Northern California, a place he grew up and still calls home. Following more than a year of touring behind 2011’s adorably upbeat Loverboy, the red-headed troubadour found himself at a crossroads of sorts.“I thought the last album was going to make me break through to a much bigger audience,” he explained via phone last week, “but I ended up just touring a lot. I wanted to keep touring; [eventually] all of the people I work with kind of decided that it was just time for me to disappear for a while.” Frustrated and confused, Dennen retreated to a cabin near his childhood home in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to FRESH STARTS: For his latest album, Brett Dennen returned reassess. Not long after, the songs started home to the mountains of Northern California to find coming. The result of Dennen’s retreat is his muse. The result is the sprawling, stripped-down, and last year’s Smoke and Mirrors, a beautiironically titled Smoke and Mirrors. fully stripped-down folksy offering that finds the singer at his most open and personable yet. On Thursday, March 20, Dennen returns some time off, I didn’t see it at first. But once I moved back to the Lobero Theatre with a full band in support of the up into the mountains, I was like, “Holy crap!” There was record. Below, he chats about growing up, letting go, and a whole life that I had completely forgotten about.

Being outdoors, it’s almost like discovering your inner self. As a kid, to just be let loose was incredible.

Ya know, we never really talked about it that much. make music your career?

I think we’re making a I can remember, I identified as an artist. I’ve been drawing big-sounding record that we need to just go for and knock and painting ever since I was really little, and I always just it out the park.

Watkins Family Hour Heads to the Lobero BRANTLEY GUTIERREZ

In recent years, the singer, songwriter, and fiddle player has frequented stages throughout the ď&#x2122;&#x20AC;ď&#x2DC;šď&#x2DC;˝ as one-third of the bluegrass hit makers Nickel Creek, alongside brother and recurrent musical partner Sean Watkins, and as part of the folk-inspired supergroup Works Progress Administration. A gifted solo artist and passionate collaborator, Sara Watkins has also spent a good deal of her â&#x20AC;&#x153;oďŹ&#x20AC; timeâ&#x20AC;? onstage at L.A.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famed Largo, a venue known as much for its laidback atmosphere as for the impassioned musical community that rallies around it.

This is a tale of tragic circumstances in which the central event — a child’s death in a preventable accident — is never seen but is powerfully felt on multiple levels.

GRAND OLE TIME: Ralph Fiennes plays a concierge suspected of foul play in Wes Anderson’s latest, The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Movie Guide

Edited by Aly Comingore The following films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, MARCH 21, THROUGH THURSDAY, MARCH 27. Descriptions followed by initials — DJP (D.J. Palladino), JW (Josef Woodard) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com.. The symbol ✯ indicates the film is recommended.

Need for Speed (132 mins.; PG-13: sequences of reckless street racing, disturbing crash scenes, nudity, crude language)

Reviewed on page 55. Camino Real (2- D)/Metro 4 (2-D)

✯ The Past (130 mins.; PG-13: mature thematic material, brief strong language) At some point during this movie, patience will be tried. Maybe it will be the scene with Fouad (Elyes Aguis), the mysteriously troubled son of Samir (Tahar Rahim), who is the new boyfriend of Marie (Bérénice Bejo), at least from the point of view of Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa), Marie’s ex-husband who has arrived from Iran to complete a divorce decree. All we know is that the child is a screaming, thieving, and devious mess, and it takes much unraveling of what seems like a major melodramatic love triangle (it’s actually more like a trapezoid) before we completely sympathize with the frantic kid. And then we want more. This is the point of Asghar Farhadi’s new film, which seems poised between ethnicities and moral universes in much the same way his previous film, A Separation, was. But The Past is much more like a French New Wave film updated to a multiethnic present, set in some remote Paris arrondissement where film crews and tourists rarely visit. Even better, the film grinds along with its emotional vexations to the very edge of soap opera yet never abandons the rich themes suggested by its title. Maybe it’s not Proust, but The Past closely examines the uses and betrayals of what’s come before. The cast is impeccable. Ahmad and Samir become doppelgängers alongside Marie and her daughter Lucie, played by the great young actress Pauline Burlet. The mirrors reflect personal histories, but

THE INDEPENDENt

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF MARCH  ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): “When you plant seeds in the garden, you don’t dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet,” says Buddhist nun Thubten Chodron.“You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time.” That’s sound advice for you, Aries. You are almost ready to plant the metaphorical seeds that you will be cultivating in the coming months. Having faith should be a key element in your plans for them. You’ve got to ﬁnd a way to shut down any tendencies you might have to be an impatient control freak. Your job is simply to give your seeds a good start and provide them with the persistent follow-up care they will need.

(June 21 - July 22): During her 98 years on the planet, Barbara Cartland wrote 723 romance novels that together sold a billion copies. What was the secret of her success? Born under the sign of Cancer the Crab, she knew how productive she could be if she was comfortable. Many of her work sessions took place while she reclined on her favorite couch covered with a white fur rug, her feet warmed with a hot water bottle. As her two dogs kept her company, she dictated her stories to her secretary. I hope her formula for success inspires you to expand and reﬁne your own personal formula — and then apply it with zeal during the next eight weeks. What is the exact nature of the comforts that will best nourish your creativity?

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): In T. S. Eliot’s poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” the narrator seems tormented about the power of his longing. “Do I dare to eat a peach?” he asks. I wonder what he’s thinking. Is the peach too sweet, too juicy, too pleasurable for him to handle? Is he in danger of losing his self-control and dignity if he succumbs to the temptation? What’s behind his hesitation? In any case, Libra, don’t be like Prufrock in the coming weeks. Get your ﬁnicky doubts out of the way as you indulge your lust for life with extra vigor and vivacity. Hear what I’m saying? Refrain from agonizing about whether or not you should eat the peach. Just go ahead and eat it.

TAURUS

LEO

SCORPIO

(Apr. 20 - May 20): “Thank you, disillusionment,” says Alanis Morissette in her song “Thank U.” “Thank you, frailty,” she continues. “Thank you, nothingness. Thank you, silence.” I’d love to hear you express that kind of gratitude in the coming days, Taurus. Please understand that I don’t think you will be experiencing a lot of disillusionment, frailty, nothingness, and silence. Not at all. What I do suspect is that you will be able to see, more clearly than ever before, how you have been helped and blessed by those states in the past. You will understand how creatively they motivated you to build strength, resourcefulness, willpower, and inner beauty.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): The Google Ngram Viewer is a tool that scans millions of books to map how frequently a particular word is used over the course of time. For instance, it reveals that “impossible” appears only half as often in books published in the 21st century as it did in books from the year 1900. What does this mean? That fantastic and hard-to-achieve prospects are less impossible than they used to be? I don’t know, but I can say this with conﬁdence: If you begin fantastic and hard-toachieve prospects sometime soon, they will be far less impossible than they used to be.

GEMINI

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): The Tibetan mastiff is a large canine species with long golden hair. If you had never seen a lion and were told that this dog was a lion, you might be fooled. And that’s exactly what a zoo in Luohe, China, did. It tried to pass off a hearty specimen of a Tibetan mastiff as an African lion. Alas, a few clever zoogoers saw through the charade when the beast started barking. Now I’ll ask you, Virgo: Is there anything comparable going on in your environment? Are you being asked to believe that a big dog is actually a lion, or the metaphorical equivalent?

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Born under the sign of Scorpio, Neil Young has been making music professionally for over 45 years. He has recorded 35 albums and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In early 1969, three of his most famous songs popped out of his fertile imagination on the same day. He was sick with the ﬂu and running a 103-degree fever when he wrote “Cowgirl in the Sand,” “Cinnamon Girl,” and “Down by the River.” I suspect you may soon experience a milder version of this mythic event, Scorpio. At a time when you’re not feeling your best, you could create a thing of beauty that will last a long time, or initiate a breakthrough that will send ripples far into the future.

VIRGO

(May 21 - June 20): I bet your support system will soon be abuzz with ﬁzzy mojo and good mischief. Your web of contacts is about to get deeper and feistier and prettier. Pounce, Gemini, pounce! Summon extra clarity and zest as you communicate your vision of what you want. Drum up alluring tricks to attract new allies and inspire your existing allies to assist you better. If all goes as I expect it to, business and pleasure will synergize better than they have in a long time. You will boost your ambitions by socializing, and you will sweeten your social life by plying your ambitions. Homework: What was the pain that healed you most? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): There should be nothing generic or normal or routine about this week, Sagittarius. If you drink beer, for example, you shouldn’t stick to your usual brew. You should track down and drink the hell out of exotic beers with brand names like Tactical Nuclear Penguin and Ninja vs. Unicorn and Doctor Morton’s Clown Poison. And if you’re a lipstick user, you shouldn’t be content to use your old standard, but should instead opt for kinky types like Sapphire Glitter Bomb, Alien Moon Goddess, and Cackling Black Witch. As for love, it wouldn’t make sense to seek out romantic adventures you’ve had a thousand times before. You need and

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Actor Gary Oldman was born and raised in London. In the course of his long career, he has portrayed a wide range of characters who speak English with American, German, and Russian accents. He has also lived in Los Angeles for years. When he signed on to play a British intelligent agent in the 2011 ﬁlm Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, he realized that over the years he had lost some of his native British accent. He had to take voice lessons to restore his original pronunciations. I suspect you have a metaphorically comparable project ahead of you, Capricorn. It may be time to get back to where you once belonged.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Every now and then, you’re blessed with a small miracle that inspires you to see everyday things with new vision. Common objects and prosaic experiences get stripped of their habitual expectations, allowing them to become almost as enchanting to you as they were before numb familiarity set in. The beloved people you take for granted suddenly remind you of why you came to love them in the ﬁrst place. Boring acquaintances may reveal sides of themselves that are quite entertaining. So are you ready and eager for just such an outbreak of curiosity and a surge of fun surprises? If you are, they will come. If you’re not, they won’t.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Before she died, Piscean actress Elizabeth Taylor enjoyed more than 79 years of life on this gorgeous, maddening planet. But one aptitude she never acquired in all that time was the ability to cook a hard-boiled egg. Is there a pocket of ignorance in your own repertoire that rivals this lapse, Pisces? Are there any fundamental life skills that you probably should have learned by now? If so, now would be a good time to get to work on mastering them.

Like many a good garagiste winemaker, Orange County‑based Eric Carucci’s quest for winemaking started with asking lots of questions before only a trip to the vineyard to buy some fruit would deliver the answers he needed. Today, Eric, whose day job is in finance, and his wife Lindsay, a teacher, make steadily increasing amounts of wines from traditional Rhone Valley grapes, including a soft peach/salted honey‑imbued viognier and this 2010 syrah from Thompson Vineyard in the Los Alamos Valley, with an earthy, mossy nose that sinks deep into dark flavors like mocha and coffee. They’ll be pouring at the upcoming Southern Exposure weekend in Solvang, March 26‑28, so see californiagaragistes.com or carucciwines.com for more info.

Brophy’s to Buy Farmer Boy Restaurant JOHN DICKSON

he legendary Bennett family, owners of Brophy Brothers restaurant and On The Alley at the Santa Barbara harbor, are in escrow to buy Farmer Boy Restaurant, an icon in San Roque since 1958, at  State Street. In the last year, the Bennetts set sail from the harbor (before it needed dredging) to a variety of destinations around town. Last November, they were involved with the purchase of the Cliﬀ Room bar at  Cliﬀ Drive on the Mesa. Last January, they took over  State Street, the former home of Maggie’s at State and A. The same month, they partnered with the purchase of Arch Rock Fish restaurant at  Anacapa Street.

Spring 2014, 330+ Classes Something for Everyone! Classes start April 7! Register now! OH BOY: The family behind Brophy Bros. is eyeing the purchase of Farmer Boy restaurant on upper State Street.

FRENCH TABLE CLOSES, BECOMES PIANO GASTROLOUNGE: Last November, The French

Table at  East Anapamu Street was sold. Last week, the new owners closed The French Table and, in its place, opened the Mediterranean restaurant Piano Gastrolounge, with a whole new menu. For more information, call 882-0050. Thanks to reader Brendan for the tip.

WOK ON THE WILD SIDE OPENS IN ISLA VISTA: While restaurant hunting in Isla Vista over

the weekend, I discovered that Wok on the Wild Side opened at the end of January at  Embarcadero del Mar. Isla Vista’s only Chinese restaurant features Sichuan-style food. For more information call 259-1415.

SNAP CHOW: Before you had a chance to Snapchat with your friends about Betos Subs, which had a grand opening on March 6 at  De la Guerra Plaza, the restaurant went out of business 9 days later, setting a new local record. Previous winners of our Flash in the Pan award for shortest longevity include Little Cantina (one month at  E. Cota St.) and Snack Shack (two months at  State St.). MARKET MERGER: Safeway, Vons, and Albertsons are merging in a $9.4 billion dollar deal. FREE RANGE: Reader Cris let me know that the

Chicken Ranch restaurant at  North Fairview Avenue in Goleta has completed a move to a much larger space immediately next door.

SILVERGREENS UPDATE: Silvergreens restaurant at  Chapala Street has launched a new “Proteins Greens & Grains” menu. The new menu features five proteins, five greens, and five grains that diners can mix and match. “Eating a balanced meal should not be boring or bland,” said Jay Ferro, owner of Silvergreens.“Our Proteins Greens & Grains menu is a fun new way to eat dinner. It’s designed to bring variety to our guests while making it easy and affordable to eat a healthy meal that combines taste and nutrition. There are over 125 different meal combinations our guests can create from this menu alone.”

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to the return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 855‑ 880‑6845 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. NATIONWIDEPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 2720‑010403‑F00. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: March 11, 2014 Sage Point Lender Services, LLC 400 Exchange, Suite 110 Irvine, CA 92602 949‑265‑9940 Jorge Rios‑ Jimenez FOR TRUSTEE’S SALE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL 855‑880‑ 6845 or visit WWW.
