news briefs cont’d name pulls from the history of Santa Barbara’s hotel industry; Milo Potter was the first hotelier in the city and opened his location in the same spot where Hotel Oceana is located now. Hotel Milo is the first West Coast location for the Independent Collection, which has hotels scattered across the East Coast. According to the company’s vice president, Foiz Ahmed, the name change intends to tie together nostalgic Santa Barbara with its more recent and unique attractions such as the Funk Zone. With Earth Day quickly approaching, all things green are hot topics. UCSB earned a top spot in the Princeton Review Guide to Green Colleges released last week. Out of thousands of schools that submitted applications, UCSB was one of 22 that made the honor roll. Among several stats, UCSB has 32 student-oriented sustainability programs, and the campus diverts 79 percent of its waste. Also this week, UCSB announced it’s leading the area in water conservation. On-campus residents use on average 28 gallons per day. According to the campus sustainability officer, Goleta residents use on average 66 gallons per day, Santa Barbara residents use 86, and Montecito residents use 290.

CONT’D

EDUCATION A Computer Science Academy will be established at Santa Barbara High School next year. Though similar to the MAD Academy or the Engineering Academy, the new program will allow students to take just a course or two, rather than require them to commit for several years. Supporters of the new program have pointed to recent stats that indicate 1.5 million computer-science jobs are expected to be available next year, but only 10 percent of schools offer computer-science courses. “It’s very exciting,” said SBHS computer-science teacher Paul Muhl said. “There’s a lot of great data.” Muhl said he will continue to work to demystify computer science and encourage girls to sign up. School boardmembers agreed to allow the Boys & Girls Club to use seven school district fields after some backlash from public commenters at the last two meetings. The club plans to create four junior high school–aged tackle football teams, but volunteer members of the Youth Football League have opposed, arguing their league has served the community for more than 43 years and has had continuous problems gaining access to fields. The approved “Field Use Agreement” for the Boys & Girls Club relinquishes district oversight of the program, an issue in question at the last meeting. ■ LEN WO OD / SANTA M ARIA TIMES

Patient Care in Crosshairs

SPEAKING OF SOLUTIONS: Dr. Takashi Wada and colleagues explain to the Board of Supervisors what ADMHS is doing to fix its long-festering problems.

Though patient care offered by the county’s Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) department had been allowed in recent years to slip into a “pretty dire clinical situation,” the system is now showing signs of improvement after 11 months of an ongoing effort to revamp its workings from top to bottom. That’s according to ADMHS brass — accompanied by an outside consulting firm — during their presentation to the Board of Supervisors this week. Readily admitting that more work needs to be done and that steps are being taken to ensure the budding culture of reform settles in for good, the doctors and administrators pointed to certain progress made thus far: The average wait time to see a psychiatrist has dropped from 66 days to 40 days for adults, and 73 days to 45 days for kids (the ultimate goal is 10 days for all ages); the department finished fiscal year 2012-13 without requesting any additional General Fund money; as of December 31, 2013, ADMHS has extinguished or fully funded all its known fiscal liabilities; and ADMHS secured over $10 million in SB82 grant funding for three regional triage teams. All agreed on Tuesday that ADMHS — as the largest provider of direct services in the county — needs to shift its resources toward prevention and early intervention rather than high-cost crisis services. Right now, interim ADMHS director Dr. Takashi Wada noted, 222 of the system’s high-cost beneficiaries drive 35.2 percent of medical claims. The statewide average is 25 percent. In the near future, the presenters promised, ADMHS will also organize a housing team and work on creating more bed space for patients in need. The supervisors voted to accept the reform team’s latest report and will hear from them — Tyler Hayden again on June 17 for a discussion on capital and facility needs.

Pangas Still a Problem?

BY K E L S E Y B R U G G E R wo years after the South Coast saw a substantial uptick in panga boats arriving onshore, officials reported Monday they will continue to seek funding to combat the sea-borne smuggling. Though known landings have decreased, officials say, the danger persists. “We’ve kept this on the front burner,” Rep. Lois Capps told reporters at the harbor with foghorns sounding in the backdrop. On the Central Coast, the small vessels — typically full of marijuana or illegal migrants — started showing up at a more frequent rate after Homeland Security strengthened barriers along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico land border several years ago.“Strong enforcement and quick, rapid response is the best signal we can give to smugglers who find a market here,” Capps said. Since the “phenomenon” began several years ago, Sheriff Bill Brown said officials have caught 42 vessels on the Santa Barbara coast: one in 2010, six in 2011, 20 in 2012, 13 in 2013, and two so far this year. Ten involved human trafficking.

EYE ON THE COAST: Congressmember Lois Capps and Sheriff Bill Brown said while panga numbers are down, enforcement efforts continue.

Authorities have seized 28,649 pounds of marijuana — worth more than $71 million street value — and made 120 arrests. But only a small percentage of smugglers are intercepted, and the number of actual arrivals is unknown, said Sheriff ’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover. Santa Barbara’s coastline is a particularly attractive destination for smugglers because it’s a long stretch of land located right next to the highway, said Sheriff Bill Brown. To boost monitoring and enforcement efforts, Santa Barbara County received $375,000 to pay for equipment and overtime costs last year. (Most agencies use thermal cameras, and some use radars to spot smugglers.) Last month, Capps formally requested funding for Operation Stonegarden — a federal grant program to secure borders — to match aid secured for this fiscal year. ■

Hotel Tax on the Rise?

BY LY Z H O F F M A N t didn’t take long on Tuesday for the supervisors to take the first steps toward asking voters to increase the county’s hotel bed tax in November, but what different entities could benefit from the extra revenue remains to be determined. The 4-1 vote propelled a plan that, if approved by a majority of voters, would increase that tax in the unincorporated region from its 24-year rate of 10 percent to 12.5 percent, slightly higher than the 12 percent figure used by many of the county’s cities. The item will come back to the board in May for placement on the ballot. The increase from 10 percent to 12.5 percent could mean an increase from $7.2 million to $7.9 million in 2014-2015 and from $7.5 million to $9.4 million in 2015-2016. Revenues from hotel bed tax — formally known as the transient occupancy tax, or TOT — have jumped in cities throughout the county. In the unincorporated region, the lion’s share of the money comes from Montecito. The county has been refloating the idea of raising the tax for some months, mostly spurred by concerns over how to deal with Supervisor Peter Adam’s maintenance ordinance, Measure M, should it pass in June. But Tuesday’s vote was for a general tax — meaning the tax’s earnings would be added to the General Fund pot

‘

— and not a tax directed to any specific target, such as infrastructure. The supervisors agreed that the money should be partially directed to economic development, but Adam, the dissenting vote, favored a specific tax. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino and the others disagreed, however, saying a specific tax’s requirement of two-thirds voter approval would be an uphill battle. Though it appeared early in the discussion that Supervisor Janet Wolf, who deemed an increase to 12 percent a “more reasonable approach” and one more palatable to the lodging industry, would leave Salud Carbajal, Doreen Farr, and Lavagnino without their necessary fourth vote, she sided with them in the end. (It briefly echoed a hearing from July 2012, when Lavagnino, Carbajal, and Farr wanted an increase to 12 percent, but Wolf didn’t buy it, saying more research was needed and that the year’s ballot was already tax-heavy.) In advocating for the increase, Lavagnino pointed to the county’s loss in 2012 of its $1.5 million share of the City of Goleta’s hotel bed tax; the county’s cut expired as planned under the two jurisdictions’ tax-sharing deal. Carbajal stressed that the tax wouldn’t, for the most part, affect county residents but visitors.“When all of us go visit another place, we rarely know or ask, ‘What is the transient occupancy tax?’” he said.

SALTY SEA DOG: Mick Kronman’s new book is replete with colorful characters and descriptions of old-timey and newfangled fishing technologies.

‘I Cover the Waterfront’

Mick Kronman Traces Fishing History in From Hooks to Harpoons

BY N I C K W E L S H

ick Kronman may not be the Old Man and the Sea, but he’s getting close. For the past umpteen years, Kronman has worked for Santa Barbara’s Waterfront Department, where he keeps in constant contact with those who stubbornly keep alive Santa Barbara’s tradition as a working harbor. Before that, Kronman worked as a reporter, covering both county politics and the fishing industry. As someone who’d spent years yanking fish out of South Coast waters, it was a subject he knew more than a little about. Putting all those skills to use, Kronman just released the most definitive, comprehensive, encompassing history of Santa Barbara’s everevolving fishing industry, From Hooks to Harpoons. For him, the book was a long-gestating labor of love. Salty, expansive, and decidedly not politically correct, Kronman spent time responding to questions about what he found out along the way. You dedicate this book to your father. What’s the story there? My dad took me sport fishing more times than I can remember. And we ate everything we caught — even the disgusting stuff. Plus, he had a flare for ethnic preparations. A former rabbi, he loved to cook fish with the skin on, quite tasty for sure, but a pain in the ass because my brother and I had to scale all the fish before he cooked them. And he cooked all fish whole in an inch-thick oil reservoir. My lord, the stink in the kitchen. To this day, my 96-year-old mother hasn’t forgiven him. And all the while, we got the lecture about eating what we caught, learning where seafood comes from — not from the market, but from the sea, caught by real fishermen. That’s the part that stuck. How did a college-educated, Maoist dude such as yourself become a fisherman? It goes

back to childhood. I loved fishing because, well, it’s fishing. But also, it was the only venue in which I could compete fairly with my father (always a pleasure to whip Dad at something) and my older brother, who wound up dean of the Yale Law School (who can compete with that?). So, after college, the fire burned in me to get to sea as soon as I could. If anybody wants to know what that felt like, read the first two pages of Moby-Dick. (Actually, read the whole thing.) That magnetism pulled me to sea. From sport fishing to boat deckhand to dive-boat skipper to sport-boat skipper to commercial fisherman — all that covered about a decade. Commercially, I specialized in hook-and-line rock cod, jigging for albacore, and harpooning swordfish. There is nothing — well almost nothing — more exciting than harpooning a swordfish. What was the coolest thing about being a fisherman? Adventure, independence, mystery, danger, and wrestling with nature to make a living. I felt like part of a special breed, like mountain men of the 1800s. Plus, there was free bread and soda at the Enterprise Fish Company when I delivered fish to them, and I got to hang out at the bar in my foul-weather gear. The managers seemed to like the “real fisherman” attraction. Great fun. What was the worst? Loneliness. When I started fishing, I was always excited to leave port. By the time I quit, a tsunami of existential despair washed over me each time I headed to sea. Then there was weather, breakdowns, poor catches, and trying to keep a vintage 1946 wooden boat floating. But mostly, I just got lonely. I missed seeing pretty girls on State Street. And lo, when I returned to land for good, I married one. Best move of my life. What was the most challenging aspect of the research you did for your book? First, deciding how to organize it. When I had an epiphany

in the shower, where I’m most creative, and decided to divide it into chapters, each covering a gear type, panic dissipated and the horizon cleared. Then it was ﬁnding the people to interview and the archived material to review. It took a lot of time and a lot of digging. Spending 18 years at National Fisherman magazine gave me a good shot out of the blocks — not to mention a trove of photos I had at my disposal.

What’s the biggest misconception the fishing industry has about the public? In recent decades, many fishermen felt misunderstood. They thought the public didn’t like them due to various misconceptions and misinformation. But that’s changing now. Fishermen have learned to reach out to the public and scientists alike. Together, they’re forging new alliances, crafting new narratives, and opening new markets. Fresh, Local, Sustainable has become the mantra of today’s fishermen. They’ve learned to brand their product, and it’s working — just look at how the value of our fisheries has grown steadily over the past several years. COU RTESY

Of all the technological advances you researched, which ones had the most lasting impact on the fishing industry? Probably the development of hydraulic net-hauling equipment, which made it easier to haul all kinds of nets — long, short, deep, shallow — employed to this day in all kinds of fisheries around the globe. In terms of “impact,” however, it also invited the most heated controversies fishermen ever encountered, issues like bycatch, overfishing, habitat destruction. Unfortunately,

I’ve ever known love the sea and everything about it. That’s why they became fishermen in the first place. I’ve never known a fisherman who killed without purpose. It breaks my heart to hear them described in any terms other than honorable people doing honorable work.

VINTAGE VOYAGE: Rex, Pelican, Santa Lucia, Santa Clara, and St. Patrick motor to sea from Santa Barbara Harbor in the late 1940s.

fishermen still fight the “bogeyman” perception of nets, like they’re some indiscriminate death weapon. If you think about it, they’re just a tool, like a hammer. Properly used, they’re effective and efficient. Improperly used, they can do damage. Believe me, regulators make sure they’re properly used. For someone moving to Santa Barbara now, it would be easy not to recognize the presence of the fishing industry in town. In the old days, you could fire up the engine and go fish whatever you wanted, pretty much whenever you wanted. Today, fishermen are hemmed by regulations, closures, and a wellheeled environmental lobby that has restricted opportunity and raised the cost of fishing to levels only sustainable by the best of the very best. That’s why the fleet has shrunk from its glory days. That said, Santa Barbara maintains a resilient fleet of 60-80 boats whose owners figured out how to navigate the regulatory landscape and competitive markets, using savvy born of the sheer amount of time they’ve spent at sea, plus an unearthly determination to succeed. In the contemporary sense, they’re the heroes of this book. What’s the biggest misconception the public has about the fishing industry? That fishermen aren’t environmentalists. First, they have a vested interest in sustainable fishing. I mean, who pees their mess kit? They need the fish to be around so they can continue making a living — simple as that. Second, all the fishermen

Your book talks about how new technologies create new seafood markets. Can you provide a few examples that struck you? The list is endless. The evolution of drift gillnets greatly expanded markets for Pacific swordfish. Wire crab traps far outfished wooden lath traps. But most important of all is probably the evolution of modern electronics that can help fishermen gauge the weather, locate fish, and return to the spot where they found the fish whenever they like. In fact, you can sit in your living room with a cold beer and a smartphone, using Google Earth to scan the seafloor for likely hotspots. In the old days, you had to drag a weight over the bottom until it got stuck. Then you knew where a reef was. And good luck finding it again. That’s why a primary theme of the book is evolution — of gear, technology, and markets for sure, but also the evolution of the mind, how fishermen figured out how to catch more and with less effort. Aside from being done, what was the coolest thing for you about writing this book? I’ve worked professionally on or near the Santa Barbara Channel for 42 years, much of it spent fishing or connected to fishing. I had to get it off my chest. It was a bucket-list thing.

Time Is Now

anta Barbara County voters have a choice to be a part of the climate-change solution or part of the problem. A UN study just published concludes that world powers are running out of time to slash their use of high-polluting fossil fuels and stay below agreed limits on global warming. Santa Barbara voters can begin to help reduce local greenhouse-gas emissions via the Water Guardians petition (waterguardians.org) currently circulating for an initiative on the November ballot to ban high-intensity oil production — hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) acidizing, steam injection — in our county. These techniques can lead to air pollution and water contamination, but expanding their use could triple greenhouse-gas emissions in the county — a staggering increase. Right now we are at a critical period and must reduce emissions in order to head oﬀ the worst impacts of climate change. Of all the things we can do locally in regard to climate change, this ban would have the highest impact. The stakes could not be greater. Our actions now will determine the future livability of the planet. [See full Voice at independent.com/opinions.] — Catherine Gautier, Professor Emerita Geography Department, UCSB

The Citizen Track

humane and legal immigration process would benefit the country and those who want to become U.S. citizens. But common sense indicates that before anybody tries to tackle this issue, its size and implications must be known. We know from the experience of 1986, when amnesty was granted to what was believed to be between 700,000 and 1.1 million undocumented individuals, the actual number turned out to be three to five times higher. Here, when the Grand Jury asked county officials in 2006-07 what they estimated the undocumented population to be, they could only guess between 34,000 and 125,000. If borders were secure, and the system controlled by which people employ visitor, student, or other temporary

visas to remain permanently, those who want to be legalized could be given a ﬁxed period of time to register. A credible count could come out of this “time-out” period. This would allow us to initiate an immigration process that satisﬁes most concerns. [See full Voice at independent .com/opinions.] — Albert Mercado, Foreman S.B. County Grand Jury, 2006-07

Healthier and Wealthier

lthough enrollments for Obamacare have exceeded expectations dramatically, Republicans continue to downplay the result and still talk of using Obamacare as their main focus in the midterm election in November. I think they have picked a losing issue. In spite of the flood of negativity in the media since the rollout, my family and I now have better insurance at lower cost. I am retired and have a Medicare Advantage policy. The changes that Obamacare forced on the health-insurance industry mean my policy benefits increased at the same time that my costs dropped. My monthly premium dropped to $30, and my benefits include free membership in the YMCA — a membership that costs more than my health-care premium. One of my daughters was paying $250 a month for minimum catastrophic health insurance. Obamacare provided vastly better benefits for $108 a month. Another daughter had two health-care policies: one for her and her two teenage children and a separate policy with an $800 premium for her husband because he has a preexisting condition. With their new policy under Obamacare, they now pay $600 for the entire family. I hope that the public wakes up soon and votes Republicans out of office in November.

Laura “Lolo” Elizabeth Clowers was born January , , and died April , , at the young age of . Laura was born and raised in Santa Barbara where she attended Roosevelt Elementary School, Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High School. A talented musician who played piano, saxophone and clarinet, she graduated from Santa Barbara High School in  and continued her education at the University of Arizona where she graduated in  with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. She had an affinity with children, animals and old folks. Laura was multitalented and creative. She was an excellent cook and had an insightful fashion sense and was frequently sought out by her mother to be her personal shopper. Because of her ability to naturally connect with children, it came as no surprise to any of her friends and family when she decided to take a job as a substitute teacher in Santa Maria, California, where she lived, until recently, with her Aunt and Uncle, Phyllis (Aunt Pi) & Glenn Jackson. Although her life was brief, the positive impact she had on family, friends, children, and animals will never be forgotten. Laura is survived by her parents Beth and Pat Clowers, brother Connor, maternal grandfather Peter Acri, and paternal grandmother Barbara Clowers, as well as aunts, uncles and countless cousins. A mass will be held for her at the Santa Barbara Mission on Thursday, May th at : a.m., followed by a celebration of her life at her family home located at  Cleveland Ave. in Santa Barbara, California.

her zest for life. Janice was born in Tacoma, Washington on June ,  to Ruth Bowrin Tolotti and John Leo Tolotti. After a brief stay in Ventura, Ca, she spent most of her life in the town she loved so much, Santa Barbara. She attended local schools and did the things that adolescents and teens did in the ’s and ’s. In , Janice married and had four children. Remembering their mother with love are Karen Chelini (Lafayette, CA), Marilyn Chelini (Dublin, CA), Eric Chelini (Oakland, CA) and Remy Chelini (Crystal Lake, IL) In addition, Janice’s  grandchildren, Anthony and Gina Fabrizio; Mychal, Vincent, and Ariana Chelini; Cole and Kyra Robertson; Niccolas Richey and Michaela Richey, who preceded her grandmother in death, and two great grandchildren, Isabella and Vincent Hendrix, will miss their beloved Nana very much. Janice’s heart extended to her “sisters” – best friends Debbie (DT) Talmage and Rosie Keller – who have enjoyed so many wonderful memories together that Janice will always remain near and dear in their hearts. Janice’s cherished dogs, Labradors Strider, Moonshine, Kahlua, and Godiva, will welcome her in this final journey. Janice’s mind was one which leaned toward the technical and mathematical and yet, at the same time, one of wit and creativity. In , Janice earned her first degree in Sociology and Math from University of California, Santa Barbara. This paved the way to be a pioneer in the field of computer programming. As one of the first women programmers, she helped launch programs in PASCAL, FORTRAN, COBOL, and BASIC. She continued her education with a Master’s degree in Computer Science from UCSB in , and then a Master’s Business Administration in  from Golden Gate University, San Francisco, CA. Janice’s works led her to eventually work with NASA, designing a user interface for the Space Shuttle. Janice loved her field so much that she taught computer programming at UCSB Extension and Santa Barbara City College. Known as JC to most of her friends, Janice had many passions: family, grandkids, close friends, traveling, animals, symphony, fine food and wine, and the game of bridge. Throughout the years, Janice has enjoyed the company of a close-knit group of women who remained close to her, as friends and confidantes. Janice’s competitive nature presented itself when she played bridge, both at the local bridge club and online. Her friends at the club remember Janice with “thirteen hearts.” During the past  years, Janice’s passion for travel, including both work and pleasure, led her to every continent in the world. Her desire was to visit countries, from A-Z, relish in the differences in cultures, and bring a bit of those differences back home to share with others. Mission accomplished. Janice believed in the community and was a part of the United Fund (Community Chest) as a section leader and volunteered at Helpline (Family Service Agency) as a suicide prevention counselor. In later years, Janice enjoyed spending time volunteering as a docent

Sharry Rose, , passed away peacefully at her home in Carpinteria on April th after surrendering to cancer. Friends and family were there to com-

fort and love her through her transition. She is now reunited with her beloved mother, Virginia Geddes, son, Richard (Bommer) Manzullo and faithful dog Shayla. There were also many good friends waiting to welcome her home. She is survived by her daughter, Lori Stepner-Battaglia, brother, Steve Geddes and family, three grandchildren, Tyler, Breanna and Chelsea, her soul sister/ heart mother Karen Curtis, and her most infamous love, Xanax the cat. Sharry was born in Upstate New York to a military family that moved frequently. After moving to Pasadena, CA, she married and had her two children, Lori and Richard. The wanderlust in her heart kept her traveling and exploring new vistas. She called many places “home”….Pasadena, Santa Barbara, Marin County, various parts of Europe, and the West Indies. Sharry was blessed with the gift of creativity, beauty, intelligence, talent and charm. She was complex and deep, always searching for a higher meaning to life. Being a natural born artist and poet with a thirst for adventure and personal growth, she lived life through art and the written word. She had a coy and sometimes outlandish sense of humor and was never afraid to try something new or think outside the box. If the phrase “Well behaved women rarely make history” had not already been quoted, she surely would have crafted it herself. Sharry was an entrepreneur, eccentric and artist extraordinaire. She received a credential in Transpersonal Psychology and had diverse jobs and businesses, all of which contributed to her incredible life experiences. She was always on a quest for knowledge beyond the institutionalized walls of society. She loved and yearned for nature, a free spirit, an entity, traveling this world and sometimes beyond. She understood the duality of her soul: the caverns of darkness and the gardens of light. To say too little would not be enough and to say too much would not be appropriate. Sharry says it best through a segment of one of her poems: SIMPLIFICATION (by Sharry Rose ) If it suffers-- drug it, And if it does not see God, paint a picture on a bed sheet, walls, anything. Write a poem in blood, tears, wine. Most of all--love it. If you learn nothing on this spinning Rock, learn touches, songs, soft hands, forgiveness--for humans can be a pitiful lot. Learn to sew wounds as you would sew a gown that dances and speaks. You would become magical. Loved. Hated. Feared. Corrupted. Love anyway. Don’t expect any resolution. Die smiling if you can, let nothing be unbearable. But, always carry a knife with an emerald handle or a bullet of silver, Just in case, just in case. A celebration of Sharry’s life will be held on May th at her daughter’s house in Ventura. Special thanks and forever gratitude to Danny, Dena , Sweet Lucy,

STEPHEN OTERO

Devoted Dad, Avid Cyclist, Community Volunteer BY G O R D O N S I C H I

t was a very lucky day in 2002 when Barney Ber-

glund first looked into our school for his son. Jonas Berglund came to Anacapa from the Waldorf School of Santa Barbara, where Barney had been actively involved as a member of Waldorf’s governing board. From the get-go, there wasn’t any doubt that Anacapa and the Berglund family were a perfect match. Barney and his family were always very supportive of our program, and when we launched our first endowment campaign in 2003, the Berglunds hosted a festive kickoff party and made a generous leadership donation. After Jonas graduated in 2006, Barney joined our Board of Trustees and served faithfully until taking a leave of absence when diagnosed with cancer. Barney’s savvy financial management skills were put to good use as we faced and met the challenges of the recent recession. His ever-present “can-do” attitude and radiant smile kept us moving forward with optimism. Every Anacapa School auction in recent years had a stand-up paddleboard donated by Barney’s BlueLine Stand Up Paddle Surf business, and two years ago, I won a bright orange one that I will paddle with pride for years to come. Barney Berglund touched many lives in Santa Barbara. I knew about his legendary status in the cycling world and his life in Colorado, and I wanted to learn more details about those sides of his life. I asked his close circle of friends to submit their recollections, and their responses go to the heart and soul of our dear friend. I first came to meet Barney on what is known to local Santa Barbara cyclists as the “Sunday Worlds” ride that leaves from the Bathhouse. A cyclist’s first instinct is to size up another rider’s ability by inspecting their legs. Shaved, tanned legs with cut, rippling calves and copious visible veins is the telltale sign that the guy can ride. After a quick analysis, I said “hello” back to Barney, “I’m Dano, pleased to meet you,” and I knew instantly I’d be following his wheel for a long time. That exchange was 12 years ago, and most of the local peloton would agree that we’ve been following Barney’s wheel all the while. More important was the friendship that was born that day. Barney was of average build but huge in spirit. I’m sure I can speak for all of his friends when I say that Barney brought something unique and genuine to the table. He enhanced our lives. He made us laugh. He punished us on the bike. He brought us into his family. He took us on private jet trips to Aspen. Never pretentious. Always generous. Barney had his unique style we all loved. Selling standup paddleboards at BlueLine in board shorts and Bruno Maglis. Showing up for races with the bike in the Porsche and then waiting in the registration line in his leather jacket and black penny loafers. Who does that? Barney does. I will always remember Barney’s passion for life, his desire to never stop and to keep moving forward in whatever he was doing. His famous salutation in the group: “Come on, guys, we’re going too slow …” Well, Barney, we never kept up with you in the past, but at some point in the future, I’m sure we’ll have to try all over again. — Dan Onorato

Barney’s contributions to the Santa Barbara and cycling communities as chairman of the Local Organizing Committee for the Amgen Tour of California from 2006-2013 are as notable as his unwavering team spirit. His enthusiasm and dedication to bringing the international bicycle race to life on Santa Barbara County’s roads — and in our hearts — truly deﬁne his legacy as a community advocate.

HUGE IN SPIRIT: The multiyear chair of the Santa Barbara committee for the Amgen Tour, Barney Berglund brought cycling to the wider community.

Under his guidance, the race grew from a grassroots effort to a countywide coming-together of all ages, and it gave Santa Barbara worldwide recognition as a premier cycling destination. Barney worked tirelessly to ensure that cyclists, support teams, citizens, enthusiasts, media, local business owners, and county officials would enjoy the event equally. Although the roar of the crowd was intended for the athletes who raced out of the starting gates and over the finish line, Barney was just as deserving of the glory. His devotion never demanded thanks or tribute, but we give him both. Our future events are guided by Barney’s — Kathy Janega-Dykes pure love of the sport. President and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara

Barney Berglund was so many things to so many people. We remember him as a devoted dad, a dedicated community volunteer, a smart and savvy businessman, a loyal friend, a fun-loving outdoorsman. Barney was a quiet leader, someone who knew how to get the job done but with a minimum of fuss and bother. He was a kind man, a humble man, a gentle man who touched many lives — and all for the better — during his too-brief time with us. We remember and celebrate Barney’s zest for life embodied by the ever-present twinkle in his eyes and the friendly smile he had for everyone. — Sheryn Sears of Anacapa School

While Barney called Santa Barbara his home, he spent as much leisure time as possible during the summer and winter months in Aspen, Colorado, where his parents have a home. Here, he could enjoy his passions for skiing and cycling, always pushing himself to new levels of ﬁtness. With fresh snow and a bluebird day, you could always ﬁnd him skiing on the mountain with his children, parents, sister, brother, and friends. Besides skiing, he would come to Aspen in the summer to bike the mountain roads and conquer the steep mountain passes. Over the past few years, he also supported the Bicycle Tour of Colorado as it passed through Aspen for one or two of their stages. He made many long-lasting friendships over his years in Aspen and will be missed by all who got to ride the hills and slopes with him and his gentle smile. — Nancy Paley, Aspen, Colorado

Dorothy Clements Spence Mitchum // – //

Dorothy Clements Spence Mitchum, a daughter of William Lemuel Spence and Ina Clements Spence, born in Camden, Delaware, May , , passed peacefully at Serenity House hospice in Santa Barbara, California on April , , just  days shy of her th birthday. She was surrounded by loving friends and family during her final days. Known for her grace, great beauty, devilish wit and love of words, roses, and animals – especially dogs, Dorothy lived a remarkable life, most famously as the wife of Robert (Charles) Mitchum whom she married in the cabbagescented kitchen of a Methodist parson in Dover, Delaware, on March , . She met Mr. Mitchum, two years her elder, when she was fourteen, after a brief courtship with his handsome younger brother John, a fellow student at Caesar Rodney High School where Dorothy excelled at English and basketball and served as May Queen. Robert had already begun his vagabond life and when he returned to Delaware and met the beautiful dark-haired girl his brother was courting, according to Dorothy, “That was all she wrote.” Dorothy attended Peirce College in Philadelphia after high school, with the aim of becoming a secretary, but she abandoned that ambition to accompany her husband to Hollywood where he eventually found his fortune as a motion picture actor. Along the way, the newlyweds worked for astrologer Carroll Righter. Dorothy scribed horoscopes and developed a lifelong interest in astrology. Dorothy’s writing career was put on hold when she gave birth to her first son, James Robin Mitchum, on May , . Her second son, Christopher, was born less than two years later on October , . By this time Mr. Mitchum’s acting career had taken off and Dorothy had her hands full raising two sons while being a glamorous Hollywood wife. She was a founding member of S.H.A.R.E., (Share Happily And Reap Endlessly) a charitable organization of women who still produce an annual show to benefit mentally challenged individuals. In her many years of service with S.H.A.R.E., Dorothy displayed her talents as a dancer and organizer. On March , , Dorothy gave

birth to a surprise third child, daughter Petrine Day. Once again, her writing career remained on the back burner as she juggled an infant into the mix. She handled this juggling act with typical aplomb, and managed to accompany her husband to far-flung film locations and create the semblance of home wherever they roamed, cooking up the pots of chili he savored. Although during her home-making years her writing skills were mostly limited to hand-written letters prized by a throng of friends and family, Dorothy finally reemerged publicly in  by scribing a forward to a new edition of a cherished book,“Quest for the Lost City, A True Life Adventure” by Dana & Ginger Lamb, a marvelous tale about an intrepid couple’s trek through Mexico, published by Santa Barbara Press. After living on the Eastern shore of Maryland from  to , Dorothy and Robert moved back to Los Angeles and then, in , to Montecito in Santa Barbara. They enjoyed their life together there until Mr. Mitchum’s passing on July , . Once widowed, Dorothy devoted herself to her eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She also tended her rose garden, read voraciously and kept up written correspondence with many friends. A lively raconteur, Dorothy loved to reminisce and regaled listeners with stories such as the time she and Robert heard an unknown singer in a small club in Biloxi, Mississippi. Dorothy and Robert were very impressed by the young man’s talents. On returning to their hotel in New Orleans, they bumped into their acquaintance Colonel Tom Parker and told him he ought to check out the singer: Elvis Presley. Elvis later became a family friend. In addition to her husband, Dorothy was preceded in death by her brother W. Lloyd Spence and is survived by her younger sister, Bette Compton, and her niece Janeen Gaul; two great nephews, Weston and Trevor Gaul; her niece Judy Fowler and Sally Spence; her cousin Jean Roth; her three children – James, an actor/entrepreneur, Chris, an actor/ politician and Petrine, a writer – and her sixteen grand- and great-grandchildren. Dorothy’s ashes will be scattered at sea so she can meet up with Robert at Easter Island per a long-ago pact between them. A private celebration of her life will follow in May, during her birth sign of Taurus. The family suggests that donations in Dorothy‘s honor can be made to the Salvation Army, who kept Robert alive during his early vagabond years, and any charity that helps animals.

The Past, Present, and Future of Goleta’s Oceanfront Oil Facility by Matt Kettmann

vative answer to the latter question, though couched in myriad variables and unknowns, was 2016, which seemed a long way off when it was announced in 2001. But now it’s 2014, and thanks to breakthroughs in “enhanced recovery” techniques (e.g., hydraulic fracturing, a k a fracking, and acidization), there’s more oil to find than ever before, and due to insatiable global demand, it’s never fetched a higher price. So Venoco won’t be walking away from the EOF in 2016. Instead, it’s hoping to pump more oil from a nearby pier through the facility, has expressed interest in expanding its offshore lease, and is saying it’d prefer to stick around for another 40 or so years. There is a slow tide rising against such hopes, however. Just last week, the Goleta City Council sent a strongly worded letter to the State Lands Commission in opposition to the proposed pier project (approval was expected this week, but past press deadline; see independent.com for the update). For the first time in years, the hearing’s speakers, including a couple of councilmembers, discussed the possibility of ending the EOF through amortization, the complicated process for government to shut down an unwanted facility. The logistics of amortization is what the county studied in 2001 and then passed to Goleta decision makers when the city incorporated it in 2002. At that time, the young city had no inclination to dive into an expensive, probably litigious, and assuredly controversial process of ousting one of its most successful businesses. Today, there may be at least the political will to dust off that old study and pay for an updated one. Toward the end of the hearing, Mayor Michael Bennett — who is considered a pro-business Democrat but is vehemently anti-EOF, like the vast majority on that dais — recalled dreaming of taking his granddaughter to the Ellwood Coast when the facility was removed.“It’s probably going to be my great-granddaughter that I take out there to the beach as opposed to my granddaughter,” said Bennett.“That is certainly my hope and my desire and my vision that this will be a formidable recreational area in my lifetime.” Given that he’ll turn 66 this June, Bennett may be hitting the century mark before he takes that walk, unless someone takes bold action to recalibrate Venoco’s vision of the future.

Operation Explanation Today, oﬀshore rigs work in ocean waters more than 8,000 feet deep, but when Platform Holly was erected in 1966 in 201 feet of water, it was a “worldwide wonder,” according to Bob Van Nostrand, the senior facilities engineer who oversees daily operations at the EOF. Located two-and-a-half miles oﬀshore in waters that are naturally slicked with tar and bubbling with methane, Holly’s initial target was the geologic structure known as the Rincon formation, which contained a lighter grade of oil and gas that was exhausted by the 1970s.

“This is like lager, if you think about it that way. This isn’t Guinness.” Each day, the EOF — which is a maze of sandstone-colored pipes with occasional streaks of yellow and red, populated mostly by burly men in jumpsuits and hard hats — processes 4,000 barrels of oil and 2.5 million cubic feet of gas per day. When the materials emerge from the seaﬂoor, the gas and some water are separated from the crude on Platform Holly, the water is reinjected into the well, and the resulting oil and gas are sent to shore in two separate pipelines, each six inches wide and snaking 15,000 feet along the ocean’s bottom. PAUL WELLMAN

ucked in a coastal canyon between the sands of Haskell’s Beach, the Bacara Resort, and Sandpiper Golf Course is the oil and gas processing plant known as the Ellwood Onshore Facility (EOF), which treats the flow of fossil fuels being collected by Platform Holly from deep beneath the ocean floor and sent to shore every second of the day. Although today’s design first came about in the 1970s — predating both the resort and the golf course — the facility is a stark reminder of an earlier era when much of the Santa Barbara coastline was an industrialized shoreline, a landscape of drill rigs that stretched from Ellwood to the top of S.B.’s Mesa and down past Summerland. With Goleta growing around it, the EOF is the closest thing we have to a neighborhood oil facility, but whether it’s friendly or frightful is the topic of a decades-old debate. On one hand, it provides high-paying jobs for workers, both blue-collar and wing-tipped; pumps millions of dollars to the state in royalties and many thousands more via philanthropic donations; and powers the fossil-fuel-addicted world we live in, processing enough oil and gas daily to support the needs of about 60,000 Americans and 13,000 homes. On the other hand, with the potential for poisonous gas leaks, fiery explosions, and oil spills along the environmentally sensitive oceanfront, it’s a risky workhorse to have amid the tourists, golfers, nearby residents, and Ellwood Elementary School, less than a mile away. It’s no wonder, then, that since the 1980s there have been numerous efforts to fence in the EOF — from the County of Santa Barbara officially dictating in 1991 that it does not conform with the surrounding recreational properties (and again by the City of Goleta when it formed more than a decade later) to the voters passing a measure in 1997 that dictated all “new” oil and gas processing on the South Coast should be handled by the Las Flores facility, which is nine miles up the Gaviota Coast more safely secured in a canyon. In the late 1990s, shortly after Venoco Inc. acquired the facility and platform from Mobil, a series of leaks fanned the rancor loud enough that the county examined what it would take to shut down the EOF and when. The conser-

INSIDE THE PLANT: Venoco’s facilities engineer Bob Van Nostrand proudly shows off the Ellwood Onshore Facility (EOF), which regularly wins awards for safety and cleanliness. Critics would like to see it go, but Venoco is hoping to keep it there past 2050.

By then, the Monterey shale was discovered, so Holly started extracting that formation’s thicker resources from a spider’s web-like assortment of shallower wells, and the EOF was expanded to deal with the increased, more complicated ﬂow. But don’t be fooled into thinking that the Monterey oﬀers lowquality sludge, as is often claimed by critics.“It’s actually one of the better grades of oil,” said Venoco’s vice president of Southern California operations, Ian Livett, of its premium viscosity.

(A third pipeline, with ready-to-burn natural gas, also goes back out to the platform from the EOF to power it.) Once at the EOF, the gas is converted into a usable form and sent straight to market, possibly powering your water heater right now. The oil is cleaned up to become a sweet crude, then piped nine miles up to Las Flores, where it might go north to a reﬁnery in Santa Maria and into the Plains All American Pipeline, or south to reﬁneries in Los Angeles. >>>>> continued >>>>> april 24, 2014

For decades, the EOF also treated the methane that was captured by oceanfloor “seep tents” off of Coal Oil Point, but those vents mysteriously ceased their bubbling in August 2013. That’s about the time that Venoco stopped taking folks out on boat tours to check out the other seep-related slicks because it can’t find them anymore. Theories abound as to why. Though Venoco processes substances, the offshore oil is technically owned by the state of California, which is why the State Lands Commission controls the access and reaps the royalties, amounting to about $25 million per year from the Ellwood field alone. The platform and EOF are subject to a wide range of regulations and regulators on the state and local level, and Venoco proudly touts its multiple awards for safety and track record for community engagement, through which it has eased concerns of neighbors, whose complains about bad odors often turn out to be caused by sources other than the EOF. “We want people to know we are very, very, very responsible operators,” said Livett, while showing off awards for “Outstanding Lease Maintenance” bestowed upon Venoco by the State Department of Conservation.“Oil and gas is nasty stuff; it’s dangerous stuff, and I’m not going to say that we never do anything wrong. But we are exemplary in our procedures.” The latest reports available on the Internet confirm as much, although accidents do happen, such as the three barrels of oil that spilled at the EOF on March 29, causing a brief shutdown of the plant and immediate cleanup. Until 2012, Venoco ran the last oil-barging operation in California through the Ellwood Marine Terminal (EMT), in which every 11 days, the Jovalan would tie up to a rubber hose that floated offshore of those big tanks near Devereux Slough, fill its hulls with 56,000 barrels, and travel either north or south depending on where the oil was needed most. After years of discussion and permitting — and with UCSB not offering to renew its lease on the tanks past 2016 — Venoco built a nine-mile pipeline to Las Flores and is now working on a plan to dismantle the entire EMT. Today, Venoco contends that ending the barging and creating the pipeline was its desire all along.“We make much more money with that pipeline,” said Livett. “It’s a godsend to us.” But that claim makes other people laugh out loud. “Oh my gosh,” said Linda Krop of the Environmental Defense Center (EDC), which argued for the pipeline for years.“They fought that very vociferously.” Venoco appreciates that its award-winning track record is, in part, because it was born and raised in a Santa Barbara community filled with envirowatchdogs whose steady pressure has resulted in strong oversight. The company even speaks in strong support of conservation and alternative fuel sources. Still, there’s no love lost for the environmentalists who harangue them constantly. They’re more anti-oil than pro-environment, said Venoco spokesperson Lisa Rivas, who argues that drilling near home is less damaging than relying on oil from afar and thinks the further regulation of techniques like hydraulic fracturing is more likely to impede production than save the world. “The anti-oil groups are trying to thousand-death-cut us,” said Rivas, who admits it can be “uncomfortable” not being liked by your neighbors.“No amount of conservation and efficiency should be discounted, but it still does not address the bigger picture that we often forget about when we look at our coastline: Oil being tankered in from foreign lands is the biggest impact of all.”

Oily Earth Day Roots The Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969 birthed the modern environmental movement — including the Earth Day celebration, which takes place this weekend in Alameda Park (see the Earth Day Festival insert for the program) — and oil companies with their very visible oﬀshore rigs remain the Goliath being fought by legions of Davids, who battle under the banners of the Environmen-

tal Defense Center, Get Oil Out!, Surfrider, and numerous other nonproﬁt and community organizations. For many of these activists, the EOF is the bull’s-eye in an endless game of get-oil-out darts. “We recognize that when the plant was built, it was pretty much way out there, surrounded by nothing,” said Krop of the EDC, which has waged a loud legal war against oil since its founding in the early 1970s.“But now there are a lot of residential and recreational uses in that area, and it really is incompatible. There are better places for you to process oil and gas.” Venoco knew it was buying a nonconforming facility in 1997, argues Krop, and it also knows that Santa Barbara County voters voted in favor of consolidating such processing at Las Flores, so why doesn’t it just go there? Venoco claims that’s not really possible; that beyond the added expense and lost income of not processing itself, Exxon’s Las Flores facility does not have enough capacity; that it would require an expansion; and that it would mean a nine-mile pipeline full of sour, untreated, moretoxic oil and gas rather than the clean stuﬀ now coming out of the EOF.

Pamela Lee MD, FACS

WATCHDOGGING: Linda Krop of the Environmental Defense Center believes the EOF is not compatible with the recreational and residential properties that have grown up nearby.

When contacted, an Exxon spokesperson declined “to speculate on future business matters,” but Krop doesn’t trust Venoco anyway and sees them as dirty dealers. She points to Venoco’s 2010 attempt to go around Carpinteria’s City Council process by putting the idea of a new, centrally located oil rig in the beach town to the voters. (Venoco maintains that its polling showed support for the project, known as Paredon, and that it was too big of a decision to leave up to just the councilmembers alone.) The voters resoundingly rejected it, nearly three to one.

CONTROLLING INTEREST: Technological advancements in the oil industry make formerly cutting-edge control panels (above) look antiquated now, but the makeup of the EOF is largely similar to its development in the 1970s and ’80s: lots of sandstone-colored pipes and tanks for processing oil and gas.

Venoco complains that getting new projects approved is tough, but getting rid of existing oil projects is even harder. Industry-wide, it’s shocking what companies will do to avoid having to pay for shutdown costs, even when wells have stopped producing. It’s cheaper to run a rig at one percent of the expected ﬂow than pay the many millions to tear it down, and when that time inevitably comes, the corporations have been known to form companies with no assets, transfer dead rigs to the new company’s holdings, and then walk away, leaving no funds, other than perhaps taxpayer money, for dismantling. The County of Santa Barbara is trying to combat that maneuver by forcing abandonment plans to be created when a rig gets to the 3-percent-of-ﬂow mark, but tracking and enforcing that is a nebulous chore. Altogether, the oil industry boasts way more resources, precedent, and protection than a small city like Goleta or even Santa Barbara County for that matter, and the EOF is only the tip of that iceberg. “One hundred years from now, are people who live in Goleta still gonna be looking at Platform Holly?” asked Fran Farina, an attorney working on coastal issues for the Sierra Club’s Los Padres chapter. “That’s what we’re dealing with. Nothing in this state has an end date. When you see an estimated production of 20-30 years, it means nothing. It’s like getting rid of oil in this community is impossible.” >>>>> continued on p.27 >>>>>

cover story As of last Friday, while the “a” word was once again ringing in the wings of Goleta City Hall, no one from there had actually reached out to Baker & O’Brien. When contacted, the company’s Don Flessner said they would be “very interested” in updating the study (which cost $170,000 in 2001, plus another $60,000 in county staﬀ costs), explaining that it’s a wildly diﬀerent world now with high prices and enhanced recovery techniques. He then asked for (and was provided with) contact info for a point person in the city. Given the challenges, former Goleta city councilmember Margaret Connell doubts amortization is the silver-bullet solution. “It’s more a matter of controlling what we’ve got rather than getting rid of it,” said Connell. “They’re a company who is very generous with the community, but they’re in a dirty business. Everybody just has to watch them and be vigilant.”

NEW GEAR, OLD FEAR: Venoco’s Don Dixon mans the EOF’s modern control room at top, while Goleta Mayor Michael Bennett wants to see the facility gone and the site turned into a park.

Paradoxically, the key to shutting down the EOF may be letting it expand production first. If Venoco pursued the dream of expanding its offshore lease, for instance, the City of Goleta might have enough leverage to make a deal for eventual shutdown of the plant and potentially the platform, as well. But there’s plenty of risk, as deals made by today’s politicians can be broken by tomorrow’s. Or, as in the case of the proposed Tranquillon Ridge deal from years back, in which a number of rigs off of Vandenberg Air Force Base were going to be allowed to expand in exchange for eventually shutting down, Sacramento politicians can scuttle what many locals considered a pretty sweet deal. In the meantime, it remains to be seen whether Goleta Mayor Michael Bennett will ever take that walk with his great-granddaughter. He remains steadfast, though, explaining, “I will do everything within my ability to push whoever I need to push to get them out of town.” ■ >>>>> continued >>>>>

PAUL WELLMAN

A word whose root means essentially “to kill,” amortization is the uniquely American process of a government entity forcing an unwanted operation to close after the owner has achieved a reasonable return on the initial investment and also covered associated costs of the shutdown. Emerging out of the first zoning ordinances in 1916, which allowed certain preexisting sites to be labeled nonconforming, amortization was most often used in the initial decades for removing ugly billboards along the country’s growing highway system. Taking down signs, of course, is much more simple and affordable than applying the law to an oil facility. “There is no universally accepted approach,” according to a rather poetic 1990s report on the practice by Margaret Collins.“The process of determining amortization periods is not merely a matter of accountancy; it is rather a ‘balancing test’ weighing the private cost against the public gain,” she wrote, explaining that it’s really “more of a postponement than a solution,” that “it has the virtue of cushioning the economic shock” through the “vice of delay,” and that it’s “more art than science.” Governments tend to be more engaged in science than art, so while nonconforming sites occur from sea to shining sea, amortization is not commonly employed. When applied to profitable entities that don’t want to leave, it’s expensive — in large part because the process tends to wind up in court, for companies don’t usually roll over — and, for a country that prides itself on private-property rights, wildly controversial. The ball rolled ever so slightly toward the idea in the county’s 2001 study by the Houston, Texas, firm Baker & O’Brien. While explaining that the variables were myriad — especially when it came to the fluctuating price of oil and improving extraction techniques — the study concluded that it would cost $34 million to move the operation to Las Flores and another $35 million to shut down Platform Holly one day in the future and that those costs would be properly amortized over about 15 years. The study also laid out how to do so by first passing a general ordinance about removal of all nonconforming facilities and then employing that on the specific facility. Back then, Venoco cited legal decisions related to the mining industry to argue that its vested rights to extract the oil beneath Platform Holly depend on the EOF; it’s singing a similar tune today. “It’s still a necessary facility,” said Rivas, remarking that amortization is simply “not an option.” It will fight any amortization attempt with all of its considerable might, now believing it could keep going past 2050, and it would at least have the support of the Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce, whose director Kristen Miller opined, “This is a small business in our town in a legal industry doing a legal business, and there are property-rights issues.”

ith 2,600 active oil wells in Santa Barbara County at any given time, most existing, pending, and proposed projects are on the hunt for oil. Operators here employ traditional drilling techniques, as well as cyclic steam injection — a process that involves injecting steam into the ground to thin the oil and make it ﬂow. But fracking hasn’t really reared its controversial head, at least on county-controlled land, since Venoco was found to be doing so in Los Alamos back in 2011. More details on fracking follow, as well as 11 other energy projects on the radar of county oﬃcials and environmental organizations in our region:

Twelve Resource Projects to Watch

PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

branch office in Santa Barbara. branch office in Santa Barbara. Raymond James & Associates

() Santa Maria Energy: The supervisors’ 3-2 vote last November to approve the company’s proposal for 136 cyclic steam injection wells at its Orcutt Oil Field property raised eyebrows on both sides of the issue. Proponents of the project didn’t like that the board held the project to a flat annual-emissions limit of 10,000 metric tons, down from the 62,000 metric tons and okayed by the planning commission. Opponents cheered, however, hoping that the 10,000-metric-tons figure would create a new emissions threshold for the county. The operations, first proposed in 2009, will yield 3,300 barrels of oil daily.

NOT GONE, NOT FORGOTTEN: A protester sailed in opposition to Venoco’s Paredon project in 2010.

() PetroRock, LLC, Garey: In March, the planning commission gave the green light — an approval that wasn’t appealed — to 56 new oil and gas wells on a property near the town site of Garey outside of Santa Maria. Bakersﬁeld-based PetroRock will employ cyclic steam injection and make sure emissions stay under 10,000 metric tons per year for the 1,600 barrels produced per day.

() Venoco’s Paredon: The company has long lobbied for a 17-story, onshore-to-oﬀshore drilling rig near its existing Carpinteria processing plant (and Carpinteria City Hall). Fits and starts have plagued the project application — Measure J aimed to bypass the city approval process in 2010 but failed — which was resubmitted to the city last summer but was again deemed incomplete in March. If it came to fruition, the project would drill 20-22 wells.

() Paciﬁc Coast Energy Company: In 2006, the company got approval for 96 cyclicsteam-injection wells at its Orcutt oil ﬁeld site next door to Santa Maria Energy’s operations. And last year, the company submitted an application for 96 more. In recent months, the company has repeatedly gone before the supervisors to request a total of 94 emergency seep cans for its leaking operations.

() Sunset Exploration with ExxonMobil at Vandenberg Air Force Base: Base commanders in 2008 seemingly nixed any further notion of this project (they said it would interfere with base operations), which allows slant drilling from the base into and under state waters. However, last fall, the air force decided to look into the viability of bases being used for such purposes; the assessment was stalled due to federal sequestra-

SAT,

tion, and no official word from the air force to the county has been made. () Aera: Anywhere from 200-300 wells could be used for cyclic steam injection at this company’s site in the eastern part of the Cat Canyon Oil Field, just southeast of Santa Maria. While this project is only in the conceptual phase, the potential removal of thousands of oak trees has environmental groups concerned. () ERG Operating Company, LLC: Upward of 200 cyclic-steam-injection wells could one day dot this Bakersfield-based company’s land in the western section of the Cat Canyon Oil Field. ERG is still developing its proposal and hasn’t submitted anything to the county yet, but it has proposed an oiltransport pipeline along the nearby Foxen Canyon Road. () Solar PG&E, Cuyama: This 40-megawatt solar array is likely to come before the county planning commission in July and then the board of supervisors in September. The panels would be located across more than 300 acres and be accompanied by a 19,600-square-foot switchyard near PG&E’s Cuyama substation. () Rock mines: Scattered throughout the county are 17 mines, which source sand, gravel, flagstone, shale, and limestone. Some are near Buellton, Lompoc, and the Gaviota Coast, and some are near the Cuyama, Santa Maria, Sisquoc, and Santa Ynez rivers. Many have been in operation since the early 1900s but have recently come up for permit modifications. Big corporations like DiamondRock and CalPortland own some of the mines, while others are mom-and-pop operations. Ongoing concerns include effects on wildlife, traffic, noise, and air pollution. () Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: Concerns about radiation and earthquakes have

only intensified in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. Operated by PG&E, this facility is now the only nuclear plant in the state (San Onofre in San Diego County closed last year). PG&E recently tried to get its license renewed early — it is up in 2024 and 2025 — but the Nuclear Regulatory Commission axed that idea. A seismic study proposed last year was shot down by the Coastal Commission, which said that the study could be done differently without harming marine life. () Sespe Oil Field, Ventura County: Although outside of Santa Barbara County, operations at this oil field have officials at Los Padres ForestWatch worried. According to Executive Director Jeff Kuyper, the 300-well site — north of Fillmore and surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest, Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, and the Sespe Condor Sanctuary — uses fracking more than any other operation along the Central Coast. More than 12 wells have been fracked in the last two years, Kuyper said, adding that most of the field’s wells are owned by Texas-based Seneca Resources. () Fracking : Although officials haven’t detected fracking in Santa Barbara County for several years, a group called the Water Guardians wants to outlaw the practice outright. They filed an initiative in March that would prohibit new projects in the county’s unincorporated regions from using fracking, cyclic steam injection (which isn’t the same as fracking as it doesn’t break the rock), and other “enhanced” techniques; the group has to collect more than 13,000 voter signatures for the supervisors to consider adopting it or placing it on the November ballot. Statewide, Senate Bill  — passed last year — requires public notification of fracking and groundwater testing before and after operations; the state also has to prepare an environmental study on the practice. How the legislation would affect the fracking in Sespe remains unclear. ■

BEASTLY CHALLENGES THE PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE RESCORES LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE

THEE OH SEES DROP Last year, fans all but thought Thee Oh Sees had called it quits. There were talks of “breaks” and “transitional periods.” Frontman John Dwyer had left his longtime home of San Francisco for L.A., and his bandmates weren’t following suit. For fans, Drop will be a welcome surprise, if only because they didn’t see it coming. But even those unacquainted with Thee Oh Sees brand of reverbfriendly, psychedelic garage rock will ﬁnd something to get behind here. The whole thing kicks oﬀ with the twee-like 8-bit chimes of “Penetrat-

COURTESY JANUS FILMS

here are operas on film. There are films about opera. But Philip Glass’s Beauty and the Beast is a unique creation: an opera not only inspired by a cinematic classic but also designed to be experienced simultaneously with the original. “No one had ever done this before: take a talking film, turn off the soundtrack, and create a new one from start to finish,” said Michael Riesman, who has been part of the project since its inception in 1995. He will conduct the Philip Glass Ensemble in a live performance of the score — accompanied by the film, of course — this Wednesday at the Granada Theatre. The film is the 1946 classic La belle et la bête, directed by Jean Cocteau — a genius whose work Glass found continually inspiring. As Riesman noted in a recent interview, the composer turned one Cocteau screenplay into a more conventional opera and another into a ballet/opera. For this one, he decided to overlay new music onto the ethereal imagery. “It was quite a complicated process,” Riesman recalled.“[After we received the first draft of the score] we found there were lots of problems. The bed of music was okay, but the vocal parts weren’t close enough [to the actors’ dialogue] to be convincing. I thought we needed to at least do as good a job as a badly dubbed film. The right person’s mouth had to be moving!

HEART OF GLASS: The Philip Glass Ensemble (top) reimagines the score to Jean Cocteau’s 1946 classic, La belle et la bête (above).

“Sometimes we shifted the vocal line; in other cases, we threw it back to Philip, who would totally rewrite the section. This went on for weeks. We were already in rehearsals, so it was pretty scary. Fresh pages were coming in daily.” ing Eye,” but that sonic introduction explodes about 30 seconds in, saw-like guitars and drums blazing a trail of remarkable fury in its wake. Meanwhile, Dwyer offers up a chastising chorus of “la la las” over the onslaught. From there, Drop progresses like an amplified drug trip. “Encrypted Bounce” offers looping drums and a whole lot of buzzy guitar noodling; “Put Some Reverb on My Brother” is a twisted little psych-rock affair whereby Dwyer throws his voice through a delay pedal and achieves some gloriously sinister

However hurried, the results were magnificent. In the New York Times, Allan Kozinn praised the way Glass’s music reflected the film’s “visual and atmospheric touches.” He also praised baritone Gregory Purnhagen’s “powerful and touching” performance as the Beast, which the singer will reprise at the Granada. “We have four singers playing all the roles,” Riesman explained.“They’re singing on the right and left sides of the stage, well out of the line of sight of the screen. Below the screen is the ensemble, which consists of three keyboard players and three wind players. My attention is divided between looking at the score and looking up for cues. My eyes are constantly going back and forth from the music, to see what the next cue point is, to the screen to look for it.” Riesman has conducted the score more than 100 times over the past 19 years and considers it one of Glass’s masterpieces. But he admits he sometimes feels constrained by the need to synchronize with the film. “I’m sometimes compelled to put the brakes on music that would sometimes be better served if it could just go where the players were taking it,” he said. “But that’s the price we pay for doing something like this.” UCSB Arts & Lectures presents the Philip Glass Ensemble at the Granada Theatre ( State St.) on Wednesday, April 30, at 8 p.m. Call 893-3535 or visit artsandlectures.sa.ucsb — Tom Jacobs .edu for tickets and info.

effects. And a little over halfway through, “Camera” gussies up a super-simple guitar hook with some of the album’s warmest harmonies, conjuring images of desert sunsets and starry-eyed hippiedom despite its fuzzed-out ﬂourishes. The whole thing hits its climax with “Transparent World,” a feedback-driven exercise in sonic layering that’s part Flaming Lips weirdness, part Sonic Youth guitar worship. It’s whacked out in the best way possible and indicative of a band that’s back in action and loving every minute of it. — Aly Comingore

IT’S

SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC And you know the rest: expialidocious. Mary Poppins, one of the most beloved movie musicals of all time, has received the full West End/Broadway musical-theater treatment, courtesy not only of Disney Theatrical but also of the P. L. Travers estate, and now, the Dos Pueblos High School Theatre Company. The intrepid Clark Sayre and his devoted cast and crew were chosen as one of only six high school theater groups in the country given the green light to pilot this first round of high school productions. Director Sayre describes the production, which will run April 25-May 3 at the Elings Performing Arts Center at Dos Pueblos, as the biggest show he’s ever done, citing “costumes, sets, dialect, light cues, and projection cues” as just some of the concerns as he and his team prepare for this highprofile opening. Executives from the Walt Disney Company will join DP family, friends, and theater buffs in the audience when Mary Poppins hits the stage on Friday, April 25, at 7 p.m. When asked about the appeal that won him over to this show, Sayre said that he loves “the kid-like sense of wonder” that the show creates. “I want the adults in the audience to remember that feeling, and I want the young people to experience it.” He acknowledged that “any time you create a play version of an iconic movie, it’s bound to be a challenge” but ended by insisting that “the play script refocuses the story on what’s really important to the Banks family.” Speaking of family, the director has got plenty of his own involved this time, as well — all four Sayres are working on the production. Sayre’s son, Blaine, will play Bert, his daughter, Kailey, will perform in the ensemble, and his wife, Sharon, has been an integral part of the production team since day one.

IT’S NO EIFFEL TOWER Jade Doskow: Lost Utopias. At wall space gallery. Ongoing. Reviewed by Charles Donelan

ifty years ago this spring, on April 22, 1964, the New York World’s Fair opened in Flushing Meadows. Following just two years after the Century  Exposition, otherwise known as the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, the New York exposition served as an opportunity for corporate America to flex its collective marketing muscles and for people from all over the world to gather and contemplate a gussied-up version of the future. New technologies like the touch-dial telephone were displayed alongside a bewildering array of entertainments and distractions — everything from go-go dancers in the New Orleans Mardi Gras pavilion to the one thing that nearly all visitors to this particular world’s fair seem to remember: Belgian waffles. The fair in New York ran for two consecutive years from April until October, but after the second season in 1965, the vendors packed up and went home, and what was left of the elaborate halls and pavilions GLOBALIZED: Jade Doskow’s 2008 photo almost immecaptures the Unisphere from the 1964 New diately fell into York World’s Fair. The fair’s motto was “Peace serious decay. To Through Understanding.” most New Yorkers, the ruins of the abandoned world’s fair site are relegated to a flashing glimpse through the car window on the way to or from John F. Kennedy International Airport, but for photographer Jade Doskow, this location, along with more than 50 other former world’s fair sites around the globe, has become the subject, inspiration, and muse for an ambitious project to travel to and document what is left. Doskow was in Santa Barbara on Saturday, April 19, to show her work and to talk about the project, which she calls Lost Utopias, at a special presentation at Crista Dix’s wall space gallery in the Funk Zone. Dix, who has revolutionized the fine-art photography scene in Santa Barbara since arriving here from Seattle in 2010, has another show in the space now, something called A Little Madness in the Spring, featuring work by Aline Smithson and Amy Stevens that’s an exuberant riff on femininity and visual style, but due to her relentless pursuit of photographic excellence, she was able to lure Doskow, who was traveling to some West Coast fair sites, to stop in and explain what she’s been up to for the last seven years. The Lost Utopias project marries the detail-oriented, highly aestheticized sensibility of a trained artist working on traditional film with a 4×5 view camera with a voracious appetite for history and a sharp understanding of cultural context. Moving rapidly through a splendid array of examples from her work, Doskow delivered what amounted to a mini-course on the history and sociology of the world’s fair movement. Beginning in the mid-19th century with the London Exposition and its legendary Crystal Pavilion, the world’s fair juggernaut reached its first apex in 1889 with the creation of the Eiffel Tower for the Paris Exposition Universelle. Ever since then, world’s fairs have been involved in a kind of contest, architecturally and otherwise, to top that most famous version. As Doskow explained to the group gathered at wall space on Saturday, perhaps the most frequent remark made concerning later structures created in these contexts has been,“Well, it’s no Eiffel Tower.” As for the photographs, they are ravishing. Doskow takes great pains with her setups, having learned the hard way that these shoots require both remote and on-site planning to succeed. Some of the most brilliant images come from the Expo ’67 site in Montreal, which can claim the distinction of having given a home to both some of the best world’s fair art (e.g., a magnificent Alexander Calder and an early Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome) and to having given an actual home to the real people who continue to live today in what was then the modular housing of the future. This conversation, which gave an exciting look at an important project, is a great example of the way that wall space has ■ contributed to the culture of the Funk Zone and the city.

Mark Dendy’s Dystopian Distractions! Tackles Military, Pop Culture by Elizabeth Schwyzer

aised in a fundamentalist Christian family in North Carolina, he’s now a New York–based artist making boundary-pushing performance pieces. Simultaneously masculine and effeminate, an entertainer and an intellectual, Mark Dendy has made an art of defying categorization. At the same time, the former Martha Graham dancer has immersed himself in many worlds, from drag shows to illustrious opera companies, experimental site-specific works to commercial Broadway productions. This weekend, the curtain goes up on Dendy’s latest creation: Dystopian Distractions!, a wild romp through politics and pop culture — and it’s happening here in Santa Barbara. The world premiere marks the culmination of this year’s DANCEworks residency. A partnership between SUMMERDANCE Santa Barbara and the Lobero Theatre Foundation now in its sixth year, DANCEworks gives emerging and established dance makers a full month on the Lobero stage to experiment and create new work — with no stipulation as to what that work must look like when it’s performed at month’s end. It’s an unprecedented opportunity in an increasingly manic performing-arts landscape where choreographers often get less than half that time to build a piece and rarely get access to the stage until the day of the show. But what makes this an especially precious residency for Dendy is the permission he feels to pursue politically charged, controversial material without fear of censorship. Sitting with me in a Santa Barbara dance studio at the start of his residency, Dendy emphasized the significance of that artistic license. Having spent six years working in what he calls “the fishbowl” of Broadway musical theater, where directors and producers scrutinized his every decision, he’s especially grateful to DANCEworks director Dianne Vapnek for her implicit trust and hands-off approach. “She gives me a lot of freedom and no conditions,” he said. Having such trust has been crucial for the creation of Dystopian Distractions!, a satirical antiwar work that would have been impossible to make, say, on Broadway. “Who’s making antiwar stuff right now?” Dendy challenged, only to answer his own question: “Nobody.” Referencing German choreographer Kurt Jooss’s The Green Table, a ballet choreographed in 1932 in response to the perceived futility of war-cabinet negotiations, Dendy noted that few companies are even performing that masterpiece these days, let alone commissioning new works of its kind. At the same time that Dendy’s powerful convictions and frustrations suffuse this work, Dystopian Distractions! is shaping up to be an evening filled with comedy and levity, albeit of the darker variety. In rehearsal last week, four company members marked through a section of the dance they’ve dubbed “Elvis Heaven.” One by one, they struck poses with an invisible microphone, tottered across the stage like drunk rock stars trying to hold it together, and shimmied their way between life-size cardboard cutouts of the King. Just a peek at the rehearsal process made it clear that Dendy admires the very same culture he satirizes. With Dystopian Distractions!, he strikes a delicate balance between

antiwar sentiment, irreverent tone, and possible sexual references, and advising parental discretion. Consider yourself warned. One fact I might not have known, had I not asked, is that for Dendy, the brutal legacy of war has personal as well as ideological significance. “My father was a guard on the piers in Japan during World War II,” he explained. “At the very end, when the kamikaze were blowing themselves up, he had to walk the piers alone during the graveyard shift. He was terrified; he had to drink a lot of sake to get through it.” He spoke, too, of an uncle who served. “He was never the same after he came back,” Dendy said. “Eventually, he shot himself.” But Dendy didn’t linger long on family biography, moving instead to broader observations. “War affects a man; he becomes a father; it affects his children, and the children’s children, and the relationships those children have,” he DYNAMIC DANCE DUO: Mark Dendy credits DANCEworks said. director Dianne Vapnek for providing choreographers with Though Dystopian Distractions! makes his unprecedented creative freedom. stance on warfare clear, Dendy said he’s “not under any illusion that this piece will stop war.” lampooning and vilifying symbols of modern American society, “I hope that it will do what other works of art have done for from former U.S. secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld (a role me, which is to inspire.

THE COLD WAR, SET TO MUSIC Opera Santa Barbara Resurrects The Consul

ESCAPE COUPON PACKAGE

by Tom Jacobs

KEVIN STEELE

s recent events have reminded us, the Cold War wasn’t all that much fun. Sure, there was all that exciting espionage dramatized in The Americans. But for common people caught up in the standoff between two superpowers — which, in a sense, was pretty much all of us — the conflict was a continual source of tension and dread. With Russia and the West squaring off once again, this time over Ukraine, Opera Santa Barbara has picked the perfect time to revive Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Consul. Filled with characters who long for freedom, fear for their safety, and feel caught between two countries, this muchlauded musical drama will give STUCK IN THE MIDDLE: The young wife of a freedom fighter is at audiences a visceral sense of a the center of Gian Carlo Menotti’s Cold War-era opera The Consul , frightening era. which Opera Santa Barbara will perform this Friday and Sunday at “It’s a very affecting story the Granada Theatre. about how a political system can destroy the fabric of a family,” said stage director guide was very standoffish at first,” she recalled, “but we Jonathan Fox, who is moonlighting from his regular job gradually got through to her that we weren’t the enemy. as artistic director of Ensemble Theatre Company.“The At the end, my parents wanted to buy her a gift, and she plot itself is interesting, and then it has these surrealistic told them, ‘I can’t even go into the stores you’re allowed to moments within it.

Six Albums In, The National Just Keeps Getting Better COURTESY

by Aly Comingore

THEY’VE DONE IT AGAIN: The National (from left: Aaron Dessner, Scott Devendorf, Matt Berninger, Bryce Dessner, and Bryan Devendorf ) heads to the Santa Barbara Bowl on Friday in support of the band’s Grammynominated album, Trouble Will Find Me.

ore than a decade since its inception, The National seems dead set on keeping things interesting. For Trouble Will Find Me, the band’s latest — and arguably “biggest”— album to date, twin guitarists Aaron and Bryce Dessner, brothers Scott (bass) and Bryan (drums) Devendorf, and frontman Matt Berninger coalesced in a rented cabin in upstate New York and started writing. The excursion proved fruitful early on, producing a number of songs that quickly became album contenders. More importantly, though, it found the band members working more collaboratively — and feeling more excited by the process — than they had in years. “It was kind of like a three-week band camp,” laughed Scott, phoning in from outside The Chicago Theatre, where the band was halfway through a three-night run of sold-out concerts. “We really wanted to play together and see what came out of it — and a lot of great stuff did,” he continued. “But so much of that process was just about working together and getting back into that groove.” Since forming in 1999, The National has written a kind of nuanced, finely wrought rock music that burns slow and shimmers with anxiety. The Dessner brothers, both classically trained, do the majority of the band’s compositional heavy lifting, and the music they pen is filled with subtle symphonic layers and hocketed guitar lines. As The National’s lone lyricist, Berninger tends toward the abstract, though 52

THE INDEPENDENT

april 24, 2014

the images he conjures are almost immediately relatable. And delivered in his forceful baritone, the words hit hard, no matter how you care to interpret them. “Tell yourself that someone knows / You should know me better than that,” he intones on “I Should Live in Salt,” the lead track on Trouble Will Find Me. “Matt writes a lot — all of the time — but then he discards or doesn’t use a lot of what he writes,” said Scott of Berninger’s process. “Sometimes I don’t want to know what the songs are about. I have a sense just from knowing Matt personally for a long time, but I don’t ask any questions.” For all of these reasons, along with the band’s commitment to democratic decision making and intense scrutinizing, The National’s albums usually arrive as fully focused visions: 2005’s Alligator tended toward songs about ﬂeeting youth; 2007’s Boxer was a simmering and almost anthemic examination of settling into adulthood; 2010’s High Violet, a masterpiece about the darkness and paranoia that comes with raising a family. It’s said that much of the early writing for Trouble Will Find Me was based, at least in part, on the birth of Aaron’s ﬁrst child. “With the creative process, you don’t always know what you’re chasing, which I think is good,” said Scott of the band’s notoriously rigorous writing practice. “There’s always this questioning of ‘Is this terrible? Is this good?’ Our songs start with these basic sketches, which are all appealing on a certain level, and then it turns into a big mess, and we clean it up in the end. Things just kind of reveal themselves over

time, and we learn more with each record. But we also don’t ever want to make the same record over again.” Onstage, The National’s mode is far less exacting. The songs are restructured to be played live, and the guitars, pianos, and horns swirl around and under the vocals with a gentle insistency. At the kit, Bryan pounds out lush, propulsive drum fills colored with fluttering cymbals that are placed purposefully high in the mix. Meanwhile, Berninger swigs from a bottle of wine, climbs on top of stuff, and, more often than not, delivers a chunk of the set from the venue floor. The whole thing is a cathartic spectacle in the way only great rock concerts can be. And, like the band’s records, no two are alike. “We’re not the kind of band that smacks you in the face with an awesome pop song,” laughed Scott. “There’s a certain element of emotional uncertainty in the music, and it doesn’t mean the same thing for everyone. That’s the great thing about rock music, though; if there’s an enigmatic quality and you find your own meaning in the lyrics that makes it listenable, it draws you back to it.” For Trouble Will Find Me, the band took that mutual love of rock music and applied it with renewed gusto. Bouncing between their cabin and the nearby Dreamland Studios, they worked together unlike they ever had before, often writing songs collectively and recording tracks live as a full band.“Everyone lives in different places now, so getting together is kind of a logistical nightmare,” said Scott. “I think just being up

there with all of us was something that we really enjoyed as a group.” Part of that renewed energy, the band believes, has a lot to do with keeping busy. In between The National albums, the Dessner twins have taken on a number of production projects (Local Natives, Sharon Van Etten), which they said helped instill a newfound respect for positive criticism. Meanwhile, Berninger has been throwing himself behind his brother Tom’s documentary, Mistaken for Strangers. While piloted as a roc doc about the band, Tom’s recently released and utterly poignant little tour ﬁlm ultimately focuses on family and the at-times strained relationship between him and his rock-star brother. So now, with nearly a year of touring a new record behind them, The National is staying resolute in its desire to mix things up. And the results are promising, to say the least.“We spend so much time fussing with the songs when we’re recording, so now that we’re touring, they’re morphing constantly,” said Scott. “And I think they’re getting better. Or at least I hope to think that’s the case.” The National plays the Santa Barbara Bowl (1122 N. Milpas St.) with Portugal.

Saturday!

“The dances are brilliant!” - The New York Post

ock stars don’t come any more sophisticated or iconic than Bryan Ferry, who spent last Saturday night showing an enthusiastic crowd that he’s still got a lot more going for him than just a great wardrobe. Clad in a floral brocade smoking jacket and looking fit and trim at 68, Ferry led a crack young band of eight musicians through a fan’s dream of a set list. Starting out with “Re-Make/Re-Model,” off of the first Roxy Music album, Ferry quickly reached all the way forward to his huge solo hit,“Slave to Love.” Remarkably self-effacing for a frontman — he steered the band through several numbers from behind a keyboard that was tucked away upstage left — Ferry nevertheless projected his carefully crafted persona with precision and power, especially on Roxy classics like “If There Is Something,”“Editions of You,” and “Both Ends Burning.” Although these jagged, challenging, avant-garde anthems from the first two Roxy Music albums remain less familiar to most fans than his later work, they sounded great live, with a twisted, mashed-up sensibility that felt very much of the moment. As for later Roxy and Ferry hits like “More Than This,” “Avalon,” and “Dance Away,” they continue to incite enthusiastic “This is my jam!” responses from the same folks who partied and made out to this music back in the 1980s. Apparently a little time is all it takes to bring the two sides ■ of one great artist together.

Ready to Pounce Jagwar Ma. At SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, Wednesday, April 16. Reviewed by Aly Comingore

or the past few weeks, I’ve been comparing Jagwar Ma to their fellow Aussie psych-rock brethren Tame Impala. And on record, the comparison seems legit: Both bands are fans of sonic layering; both toe the line between dizzying weirdness and catchy hooks. Still, when Jagwar Ma hit the stage at SOhO last Wednesday night, it was immediately apparent that Tame Impala they are not. While Jagwar Ma’s members most definitely dabble in psychedelia, their live show is more interested in getting feet moving than heads bobbing. And to their credit, at least in Santa Barbara, they succeeded wildly. Only one album into their career, the band’s set list consisted of nearly every song off their debut, Howlin. Like their recorded counterparts, the songs were constructed piece by piece, growing from unassuming synth hooks to grand sonic landscapes with deep grooves. Take, for example, “Uncertainty,” an early highlight that slinked along languidly before the bass kicked in, ushering the night’s first full-room dance party. Later, “Four” would provide the climax; the song’s rapid-fire beats were fluidly looped and layered, and for about five minutes, the whole place started to resemble a rave. As with most young bands, there were also some misses. Stripped of his vocal effects, frontman Jono Ma comes across a little thin, and the too-polished pop of tracks like “Man I Need” and “Come Save Me” did him no favors. Still, for a first headlining tour, Jagwar Ma is firing on all cylinders. Better still, they’re well on their way to crafting an ■ identity all their own.

SPACE OUT: When it rains, it pours, or so the saying goes. And this Friday, there’s a musical storm a-brewin’. Early on in the night, the Santa Barbara Bowll hosts h t what h t I’ I’ve llong been calling the concert event of the season, featuring Portugal. The Man and indie-rock powerhouse The National. (For more on that, see page 52.) But for the ambitious (read: slightly crazy) among us, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Immediately following the Bowl’s 10 p.m. closing time, doors open at Isla Vista Theater for the first installment of Something Else. Part concert series, part audiovisual experience, this newly launched collaboration between Magic Lantern Films and the I.V. quarterly music magazine Speak Volumes is all about the immersive listening experience — something I can wholly get behind. On Friday night, they’ll present Peaking Lights live in concert. There will also be projections. Lots of ’em. And I’m betting they’re going to be gloriously out-there. For the uninitiated, Peaking Lights is the namesake of hubby and wife Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis, who used to live in San Francisco, then Wisconsin, and are now making music in L.A. alongside and inspired by their two young kiddos. Over the course of their six-plus years as a band, Peaking Lights have released three fantastically psychedelic LPs — 2010’s Space Primitive, 2011’s , and 2012’s Lucifer — as well as a handful of EPs, cassettes, and dub-flavored reworkings. In chatting with Coyes last week, there are also apparently new songs headed down the pike.“The next record is nearly done. We’re just mixing it now,” he said, phoning in from a recording studio in Los Angeles.“The show in Isla Vista is our first one with a whole bunch of these new songs,” he laughed, “so we’ll see what happens.” For the as-yet-untitled album, the pair holed up in their Echo Park home for months, writing and recording in between parenting duties. “Before the kids, we had a lot of time to write music together,” Coyes recalled.“Now it’s like we’re in the same house, but we’re writing our record through the mail.” While he’s hesitant to compare the new jams to previous Peaking Lights outputs, Coyes insists that it still very much sounds like “them,” but perhaps with a little more sonic polish. And for a band that manages to so seamlessly meld the spaced-out psychedelic realm with heavy-vibed dancefloor grooves, I can only imagine the gussied-up version will pack quite the heady punch. “We’ve always been into the idea of connecting to something bigger, whether that’s nature or big ethereal concepts,” Coyes said.“I may take months in a room by myself banging on drums, but at the same time I want people to connect with the music we make. It’s an awesome feeling. We make music for ourselves, but we also make music for other people. That’s kind of always been our goal. It’s the ultimate act of giving.” Peaking Lights play an all-ages show at I.V. Theater ( Embarcadero del Norte) on Friday, April 25, at 10 p.m. Visit nightout.com/events/somethingelse ■ for tickets and info.

en minutes into this alleged blockbuster, you might start wondering why flashbacks from Ed Wood movies keep running through your head. It’s subtle at first, but the clues are out there. Transcendence is the directorial debut by well-known cinematographer Wally Pfister (he shot Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy), yet the pretty pictures don’t seem to be helping the story along, much TECHNOCRAP: The Johnny Depp–starring Transcendence less lending us any pause for thought. is a sci-fi fiasco. Meanwhile, the rattle-brained plot inconsistencies start arriving in droves. Take, for instance, Johnny Depp’s character, Will Caster, who’s shot before he dies, he uploads himself and becomes one with down by an anti-technology eco-terrorist and up walking the Internet. It isn’t a dumb premise, and it might have furaround a few frames later, rubbing his belly as if he had ther explored the fine line between life and code recently bad gas. Not long after, he’s dying, because the bullet that given brilliant treatment in Her. Or it might have gone all barely fazed him contained a rare killer isotope. This bullet, Terminator on us. Instead, Transcendence cancels itself out: you recall, was delivered by terrorists who hate high tech- Depp solves most of humanity’s woes. The movie decides nology but seem fine with chemical warfare. Later, when for us it’s a bad thing. the battle to save the world occurs, you may wonder why Produced by Nolan and starring a host of first-string there are only nine combatants and their hardware looks Hollywood actors who ought to have known better (Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman), Transcendence is a film all army surplus. It’s the little things. Sadly, the message is even worse. The film sets itself up that should never have been released, much less promoted. as a quasi-fable about a computer genius (played by Depp) People say Ed Wood had passion but no ability. This film who seems more real when he’s reassembled on a screen has a budget, stars, and a release date. Beyond that, it’s than he does in his allegedly live performances. Then, right transcendentally worthless. ■

Protect our Water, Air, Health and Climate Sign the Petition to Ban Fracking!

“Of all the things we can do locally in regard to climate change, this ban would have the highest impact and is critically important at this time.” - Dr. Catherine Gautier, Professor Emerita, UCSB Santa Barbara County is under threat. Oil companies have identified thousands of potential wells -- from Santa Maria to Carpinteria. This is not the conventional oil that we’ve been drilling for a hundred years. The only way to extract this oil is through risky, high-intensity techniques: • Fracking: Injecting water, sand and toxic chemicals underground to break up rock and extract oil and gas. Halted in 12 states due to water contamination and earthquakes. • Acidizing: Adds hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid to dissolve rock. Hydrofluoric acid is one of the most toxic chemicals in industrial use. The United Steelworkers calls it too great a risk for workers and the 26 million Americans living near refineries. • Steam Injection: This water and energy-intensive process heats oil to up to 500 degrees to melt it out of the ground. In Canada, it is being investigated after massive underground spills. In California, polluted water killed $8 million in almond orchards. And it could triple County greenhouse gas emissions. Oil creates few jobs (.02% of workforce) while negatively impacting the rest of our ag and tourism economy. The choice is clear – dirty oil or clean energy. Make the right choice:

WINTER IS COMING: Winter in the Blood screens at UCSB’s Pollock Theater on Thursday, May 1, followed by a Q&A with the film’s directors.

Movie Guide

Edited by Aly Comingore

The following ﬁlms are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, APRIL 25, THROUGH THURSDAY, MAY 1. 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.

FIRST LOOKS Dom Hemingway (93 mins.; R: sexual content, nudity, pervasive language, some violence, drug use) Reviewed on page 59. Plaza de Oro

destroy him by the evil Oscorp Industries. Andrew Garﬁeld stars. Arlington (2-D)/ Camino Real (2- D and 3-D) (Opens Thu., May 1)

Transcendence (119 mins.; PG-13: sci-fi

Brick Mansions (90 mins.; PG-13: frenetic gunplay, violence, action throughout, language, sexual menace, drug material)

action and violence, some bloody images, brief strong language, sensuality) Reviewed on page 59. Camino Real/ Fiesta 5

In Detroit, an undercover cop teams up with an ex-con to bring down a crime lord and his nefarious plan for citywide destruction. Fairview/Metro 4

Under the Skin (108 mins.; R: graphic

The Quiet Ones (98 mins.; PG-13: intense

nudity, sexual content, some violence, language)

sequences of violence and terror, sexual content, thematic material, language, smoking throughout)

Sometimes you go to a movie, and then it comes home with you. That’s only one of the ways this disturbing, beautiful, thoroughly intelligent film lives up to its title. The other, more immediately sensuous aspect, of course, is Scarlett Johansson, who plays an irresistible seductress luring hapless solitary men off the streets of Glasgow with a lot of skin (somewhat ironically) on display. The third way, however, is that which lies underneath her smooth beauty. Hers is a condition that will immediately summon connections to other existential science-fiction thrillers like Nicolas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell to Earth or our own Jeff Bridges’s great early performance in John Carpenter’s Starman. Like those movies, Skin needs to be experienced slowly and weirdly as it unspools. Director Jonathan Glazer, who began his career doing videos for Radiohead and Massive Attack and then moved on to the very enigmatic Birth, is the big revelation here. Much has been made of the apparent inscrutability of the film, but it really isn’t obscure if you go along with the disturbing undertones of the whole story. On the other hand, comparisons to Stanley Kubrick’s spacier films aren’t really far off the mark, either. Long, static takes frame commonplace objects and make them seem marvelous or bizarre, the way they would to a creature that is a stranger in a strange land, but, again, as the title richly infers, not so different from Earth’s needy inhabitants. (DJP) Plaza de Oro

PREMIERES The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (142 mins.; PG-13: sequences of sci-fi action and violence)

Peter Parker goes head-to-head with a new collection of villains who are sent to

A university professor and his students perform an experiment on a young woman and uncover some horrifying forces in the process. Fairview/Metro 4 The Railway Man (116 mins.; R: disturbing prisoner-of-war violence)

A former British Army oﬃcer (Colin Firth) sets out to confront the man who captured and tortured him in a Japanese labor camp during World War II. Paseo Nuevo

Walking with the Enemy (124 mins.; NR)

During World War II, a young man loses his family, then disguises himself as a Nazi SS oﬃcer and learns the horriﬁc truth behind the battle lines. Riviera

SCREENINGS Ashes to Honey (102 mins.; NR) Filmmaker Hitomi Kamanaka’s documentary, the third in a trilogy, looks at the residents of Iwaishima Island, who have long struggled to stop the construction of a nuclear power plant across the bay. Screens as part of the Nuclear Japan: Japanese Cinema Before and After Fukushima ﬁlm series. Tue., Apr. 29, 7pm, UCSB’s Pollock Theater

Fantastic Mr. Fox (87 mins.; PG: action, smoking, slang humor)

Writer/director Wes Anderson’s 2009 animated ﬁlm follows a farm-raiding fox family as they try to survive the wrath of the farmer they’ve been stealing from. Mon., Apr. 28, 10pm, Isla Vista Theater, 960 Embarcadero del Norte

Filmmaker Frank Pavich tells the story of cult ﬁlm director Alejandro Jodorowsky and his ambitious but doomed adaptation of the iconic sci-ﬁ novel. Screens as part of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s Showcase Film Series. Wed., Apr. 30, 7:30pm, Plaza de Oro

✯ The Lego Movie

(100 mins.; PG: mild

action, rude humor)

A lowly Lego mini-ﬁgure is mistakenly recruited to help stop an evil tyrant from gluing the universe together. The nature of Lego is the creation of lands, environments, and worlds, and the true strength of this wacky movie is the way it keeps breaking walls and entering new dimensions. (DJP) Fri., Apr. 25 and Mon., Apr. 28, 7pm, Isla Vista Theater, 960 Embarcadero del Norte

Queer China, ‘Comrade’ China (118 mins.; NR)

This 2009 documentary examines the developments in the gay community in China over the past three decades. Director Cui Zi’en will participate in a postscreening discussion about the ﬁlm. Wed., Apr. 30, 6pm, UCSB’s MultiCultural Center

The Square (108 mins.; NR) Director Jehane Noujaim’s 2013 documentary follows a group of Egyptian revolutionaries as they battle political leaders and risk their lives in the name of building a new, better society. Sun., Apr. 27, 4:30pm,

NOW SHOWING Bears (77 mins.; G) John C. Reilly narrates this documentary about an Alaskan bear family and the growth of its young cubs. Camino Real/Fiesta 5

✯ Captain America: The Winter Soldier (136 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of violence, gunplay, action throughout)

Chris Evans reprises his role as Captain America and takes on a new threat: Soviet agent Winter Soldier. While The Winter Soldier lacks all that 1940s panache and fedora appeal, it’s beautifully set up and, more importantly, fraught with consequence. (DJP) Camino Real (2- D)/ Metro 4 (2-D)

Divergent (139 mins.; PG-13: intense violence and action, thematic elements, some sensuality)

In a world where people are divided based on virtues, a young girl (Shailene Woodley) discovers she’s a Divergent and won’t ﬁt in. Despite the big-screen pleasures, moments of suspended disbelief ultimately get in the way of a complete good time. But there are plenty of small-plate treats along the way. (JW) Arlington

✯ Draft Day

(109 mins.; PG-13: brief strong language, sexual references)

The general manager of the Cleveland Browns (Kevin Costner) tries to acquire the season’s number one draft pick. Ivan Reitman’s football movie opens a little stagy, but once the skin trading begins, the script takes on a nicely burnished complexity. (DJP) Camino Real/Fiesta 5

OPUS

A Haunted House 2 (87 mins.; R: crude and sexual content, nudity, pervasive language, drug use, some violent images)

Marlon Wayans stars in this horror-ﬁlm parody about a man who moves into his dream home only to be plagued by paranormal events. Fiesta 5 Heaven Is for Real (100 mins.; PG: thematic material including some medical situations)

A small-town boy makes big waves following a near-death experience. Greg Kinnear and Colton Burpo star. Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

✯ The Lunchbox (104 mins.; PG: thematic material, smoking) When a lunchbox in Mumbai’s complex delivery system ends up in the wrong hands, a young wife and an older man begin a correspondence with life-changing implications. However dry the story might seem on paper, The Lunchbox is a surprisingly engaging ﬁlm drawn from an almost-minimalist plot machinery. (JW) Plaza de Oro

Noah (138 mins.; PG-13: violence, disturbing

Thu., May. 1, 7:30pm, UCSB’s Pollock Theater

JCF Mythological RoundTable ® Group at

Wes Anderson’s latest chronicles the adventures of Gustave H., a concierge at a famous European hotel, and the lobby boy he forges a lifelong friendship with. Grand Budapest is beautiful in all the right ways, but the whimsical plot is all quirks and turns of comic phrase. You will laugh and maybe cry, but it’s no Rushmore or Moonrise Kingdom. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo

Ojai Playhouse, 145 E. Ojai Ave., Ojai

Winter in the Blood (105 mins.; NR) A down-on-his-luck Montana man goes on a journey of self-discovery. The ﬁlm is based on the novel by James Welch. Directors Alex Smith and Andrew J. Smith will participate in a post-screening Q&A.

A Deep, Lively Conversation on the Work of Joseph Campbell

✯ The Grand Budapest Hotel (100 mins.; R: language, some sexual content, violence)

images, brief suggestive content)

Russell Crowe stars in this take on the biblical tale of a man who takes extreme measures to protect his family from an impending ﬂood. Darren Aronofsky directs. Noah is so vastly epic in its blundering that some smart people want to call it profound and ignore the patently stupid qualities that make it so unintentionally humorous and, worse, mostly boring. (DJP) Fiesta 5

✯ Oculus (105 mins.; R: terror, violence, some disturbing images, brief language) A woman tries to exonerate her brother, who was convicted for murder, by placing the blame on a supernatural phenomenon. At key disorienting moments in this film, we find ourselves in time-hopping Memento land, then alongside the slacker side of The Shining territory, and the headgaming filmic notions only contribute to the power of this low-budget wonder. (JW) Camino Real

Rusty’s Offers ONLY @

Jodorowsky’s Dune (90 mins.; PG-13: some violent and sexual images, drug references)

Rio 2 (101 mins.; G) A family of macaws from Rio de Janeiro is transported into the wilds of the Amazon, where dad Blu struggles to fit in. Most big-studio animated features come off like epics, broken up from time to time with sing-along numbers as operatic embellishment. But this unremittingly clichéd film has it backward.

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF APRIL  ARIES (Mar. 21 - April 19): If for some inexplicable reason you are not simmering with new ideas about how you could drum up more money, I don’t know what to tell you — except that maybe your mother lied to you about exactly when you were born. The astrological omens are virtually unequivocal: If you are a true Aries, you are now being invited, teased, and even tugged to increase your cash ﬂow and bolster your ﬁnancial know-how. If you can’t ferret out at least one opportunity to get richer quicker, you might really be a Pisces or Taurus. And my name is Jay Z.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): You remind me of a garden plot that has recently been plowed and rained on. Now the sun is out. The air is warm. Your dirt is wet and fertile. The feeling is a bit unsettled because the stuﬀ that was below ground got churned up to the top. Instead of a ﬂat surface, you’ve got furrows. But the overall mood is expectant. Blithe magic is in the air. Soon it will be time to grow new life. Oh, but just one thing is missing: The seeds have yet to be sewn. That’s going to happen very soon. Right?

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Here’s an excerpt from “Celestial Music,” a poem by Louise Glück: “I’m like the child who buries / her head in the pillow / so as not to see, the child who tells herself / that light causes sadness.” One of your main assignments in the coming weeks, Gemini, is not to be like that child. It’s true that gazing at what the light reveals may shatter an illusion or two, but the illumination you will be blessed with will ultimately be more valuable than gold.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): Would you like to forge new alliances and expand your web of connections and get more of the support you need to fulﬁll your dreams? You are entering the Season of Networking, so now would indeed be an excellent time to gather clues on how best to accomplish all that good stuﬀ. To get you started in your quest, here’s

advice from Dale Carnegie: “You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): Does Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt run faster than any person alive? As far as we know, yes. He holds three world records and has won six Olympic gold medals. Even when he’s a bit off his game, he’s the best. At the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, he set the all-time mark for the 100-meter race — 9.69 seconds — despite the fact that one of his shoelaces was untied and he slowed down to celebrate before reaching the finish line. Like you, Bolt is a Leo. I’m making him both your role model and your anti-role model for the foreseeable future. You have the power to achieve something approaching his levels of excellence in your own field — especially if you double-check to make sure your shoelace is never untied and especially if you don’t celebrate victory before it’s won.

VIRGO

observation by philosopher Alphonso Lingis. I bring it to your attention, Libra, because I expect that you will soon be able to harvest a psychospiritual version of that supreme pleasure. You have been gathering and storing up raw materials for soul-making, and now the time has come to express them with a creative splash. Are you ready to purge your emotional backlog? Are you brave enough to go in search of cathartic epiphanies? What has been dark will yield light.

send to the universe is to fly a pair of underpants from the top of a flagpole. You heard me. Take down the flag that’s up there and run the Skivvies right up to the top. Whose underpants should you use? Those belonging to someone you adore, of course. And what is the deeper meaning behind this apparently irrational act? What exactly is life asking from you? Just this: Stop making so much sense all the time — especially when it comes to cultivating your love and expressing your passion.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): The potential turning points that might possibly erupt in the coming days will not become actual turning points unless you work hard to activate them. They will be subtle and brief, so you will have to be very alert to notice them at all, and you will have to move quickly before they fade away. Here’s another complication: These incipient turning points probably won’t resemble any turning points you’ve seen before. They may come in the form of a lucky accident, a blessed mistake, a happy breakdown, a strange healing, a wicked gift, or a perfect weakness.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): You need to take some time out to explore the deeper mysteries of snuggling, cuddling, and nuzzling. In my opinion, that is your sacred duty. It’s your raison d’être, your ne plus ultra, your sine qua non. You’ve got to nurture your somatic wisdom with what we in the consciousness industry refer to as yummy warm fuzzy wonder love. At the very least, you should engage in some prolonged hugging with a creature you feel close to. Tender physical touch isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): In his unpublished book The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, John Koenig coins new words that convey experiences our language has not previously accounted for. One that may apply to you sometime soon is “trumspringa,” which he defines as “the temptation to step off your career track and become a shepherd in the mountains, following your flock between pastures with a sheepdog and a rifle, watching storms at dusk from the doorway of a small cabin.” To be overtaken by trumspringa doesn’t necessarily mean you will literally run away and be a shepherd. In fact, giving yourself the luxury of considering such wild possibilities may be a healing release that allows you to be at peace with the life you are actually living.

SAGITTARIUS

LIBRA

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): My interpretation of this week’s astrological data might sound eccentric, even weird. But you know what? Sometimes life is — or at least should be — downright unpredictable. After much meditation, I’ve concluded that the most important message you can

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): “The supreme pleasure we can know, Freud said, and the model for all pleasure, orgasmic pleasure, comes when an excess tension built up, conﬁned, compacted, is abruptly released.” That’s an

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): If you happen to be an athlete, the coming week will not be a good time to headbutt a referee or take performance-enhancing drugs. If you hate to drive your car anywhere but in the fast lane, you will be wise to try the slower lanes for a while. If you are habitually inclined to skip steps, take shortcuts, and look for loopholes, I advise you to instead try being thorough, methodical, and by-the-book. Catch my drift? In this phase of your astrological cycle, you will have a better chance at producing successful results if you are more prudent than usual. What?! A careful, discreet, strategic, judicious Sagittarius? Sure! Why not?

CAPRICORN

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Your body contains about four octillion atoms. That’s four with 27 zeroes after it. Believe it or not, 200 billion of that total were once inside the body of Martin Luther King Jr. For that matter, an average of 200 billion atoms of everyone who has ever lived and died is part of you. I am not making this up. (See the mathematical analysis here: tinyurl.com/AtomsFromEveryone.) As far as your immediate future is concerned, Pisces, I’m particularly interested in that legacy from King. If any of his skills as a great communicator are alive within you, you will be smart to call on them. Now is a time for you to express high-minded truths in ways that heal schisms, bridge gaps, and promote unity. Just proceed on the assumption that it is your job to express the truth with extra clarity, candor, and grace. Homework: Some people ask, “What would Jesus do?” Others prefer, “What would Buddha do?” Who’s your ultimate authority? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

WINE GUIDE Beer of the Week Firestone-Walker Easy Jack Summer Session IPA The hopheads are taking over craft brewing, which makes bitter‑ beer lovers smile yet leaves in the dust the many other ale addicts who don’t dig on skunky perfume and lip‑puckering pungency. No fear, Easy Jack IPA is here, revealing that you can find a strategic middle ground where hops show off their stuff but do not completely overwhelm a lighter beer. On this golden chardonnay‑ colored “session” ale — a nod to the relatively low 4.5% alcohol, meaning you can have a few without going cross‑eyed — the aromas boast a vibrant pine character (thanks to the globetrotting mix of Bavarian Mandarina, Hallertau Melon, a New Zealand blend, and American Mosaic hops), and there is brief bitterness once sipped, but that fades fast into a crisp finish, demanding another sip. It’s the beach beer of 2014. See firestonebeer.com.
