After some grump told Joanna Kettmann, wife of Santa Barbara Independent Senior Editor Matt Kettmann, to sit down instead of dancing during the Jack Johnson show on Monday at the Santa Barbara Bowl (when did sitting become the norm at concerts?), she headed backstage in search of friendlier vibes. That’s where Jack’s accompanying musician Money Mark spotted their son, Mason, doing his robot dance and invited the 4-year-old onstage for the last song of the night. Moral of the story?

Cool things come to kids whose moms aren’t afraid to dance.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA TREATMENT & PATROL UNIT (TAP) REPRESENTED BY SEIU LOCAL 620 IMPASSE DECLARED WHO ARE WE:

We are your City employees that provide essential / critical services to our community, which include treatment and distribution of clean water, the collection & treatment of human waste by our Waste Water employees, public safety at our airport with Airport Patrol Officers, Parks with our Rangers and we ensure the safety and support of the harbor community with our Harbor Patrol Officers, who perform several functions such as fire fighting, law enforcement, open water rescue and patrol of our harbor. Most require special education, certifications from the State and have a 24-hour / 7-day-a-week operation which includes emergency call out to protect the City’s health and safety.

WHY IMPASSE:

Both the City and the TAP members are seeking a fair contract; impasse is where the two sides can not agree on what is fair. The following are some of the differences after 11 months of negotiations consisting of 22 meetings of which only 4 of the meetings dealt with economic issues:

•

City claims they want to be fair with all groups and provide 2.0% increase per year; problem is that other groups have agreed upon a 2-year contract for a total of 4.0%; the City is demanding a 2-year, 9-month term from TAP with the same 4.0% with a delayed effective date. And the City calls this fair and equitable!

•

Health Care costs are going to increase by approximately 14.1% in 2015; currently the lowest paid employees, TAP being one of them, receive approximately $1,009 monthly to provide health insurance for their families while management receives $1,676, Police receive $1,414 and Fire $1,412. TAP employees out-of- pocket expense to cover their family will be $1,213 per month; Police $808; Fire $810; and Management $546. What is fair about the lowest paid employees of the City paying more?

WHAT IS NEEDED:

The impasse needs to be resolved, which will require both sides to have a willingness to agree on a fair and equitable contract. The following will help resolve this impasse and obtain a fair contract:

•

The City needs to stop being afraid of what the public and their employees will learn and agree to Fact Finding.

•

The Public needs to write or call their elected City Council representative demanding fair treatment of TAP employees.

•

Santa Barbara City Council needs to direct their Management Negotiating Team to bargain in good faith and resolve this impasse in a fair and truly equitable manner even if it requires incorporating Fact Finding to demonstrate the truth on City finances.

THE EMPLOYEES OF THE TREATMENT AND PATROL UNIT ARE ONLY SEEKING THE SAME FAIR CONTRACT, WAGES AND BENEFITS AFFORDED OTHER BARGAINING UNITS AND MANAGEMENT. AS CITY TAP EMPLOYEES WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING CLEAN DRINKING WATER, PROTECTING THE ENVIROMENT WITH QUALITY WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND ENSURING PUBLIC SAFETY AT OUR AIRPORT AND PARKS AND IN OUR HARBOR.

Tuesday’s meeting alluded to the murders committed by (inset, from left) Nicolas Holzer in August and Elliot Rodger in May, but focused more on whether Laura’s Law could prevent severely mentally ill people from harming themselves or others in the future.

Santa Barbara Considers Adopting Laura’s Law

W

BY LY Z H O F F M A N

hen Santa Barbara County officials looked at adopting a state law in 2003 and 2010 that would allow court-ordered outpatient treatment for severely mentally ill people, the talks hit logistical and financial roadblocks.

But now buoyed by a rebounding Department of Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) and spurred by a community asking what could have prevented the murders of six UCSB students in May and a Goleta family in August, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this week to put the wheels in motion for Laura’s Law. Over the next six months, multiple county offices (most notably those of Sheriff, the District Attorney, the Public Defender, and County Counsel) will work with ADMHS leadership to suss out how many people the law could help and at what cost, with an actual vote on implementation coming when those questions become answers. Although they acknowledged concerns about the law’s possible encroachment on their loved ones’ civil liberties, many parents of adult children with mental illness shared stories of their struggles on Tuesday and applauded the board’s vote.

Along with District Attorney Joyce Dudley, Supervisor Doreen Farr — whose district was rocked by the UCSB rampage — championed the discussion. After sharing an anecdote about a mother whose son was “a different person” on medication and before hearing from two other

moms — one whose schizophrenic son broke all the windows and mirrors in the house after refusing to take his meds, another whose son died after running away out of fear he’d be placed under a permanent conservatorship — Farr said she heard too many such stories in her time in office.“These heartbreaking situations are going on all around us in this county,” she said.

Laura’s Law, passed by state lawmakers in 2002, followed the 2001 killing of Laura Wilcox by a man with untreated schizophrenia. Nevada County, where Wilcox was shot, became the first California jurisdiction to adopt the program, paving the way for the counties of Orange, San Francisco, Yolo, Los Angeles, and — just last week — Placer, which neighbors Nevada County, to adopt it, too.

If Santa Barbara signs on, potential patients will have to meet nine criteria to receive voluntary or mandatory treatment. They must be at least 18 years old and have a severe mental illness to the extent that they would be “unlikely to survive safely in the community.” They must have been hospitalized or incarcerated twice in the past three years or have committed violence (or threatened it) against themselves or others once in the past two years. Further, they must have demonstrated a previous unwillingness to accept psychiatric treatment and a present risk of having their condition worsen. They will have to benefit from the treatment under the law — to the extent that it would prevent a 72-hour psychiatric hold — and be treated in the “least restrictive” manner.

september 4, 2014

Family members, roommates, police, and mental-health professionals could request that a person be helped under the law, with ADMHS staff taking the reins from there.

If patients meet all nine criteria, they would be offered help; they could either voluntarily accept that treatment or be ordered to. Housing could prove the highest hurdle, with many at the hearing noting the perpetually maxed-out 16-bed Psychiatric Health Facility.

While ADMHS officials said figures specific to Santa Barbara County don’t yet exist, to run the program in Placer County, the population of which is about 75,000 fewer, will cost about $400,000 a year for 20 patients, paid for entirely by state and federal monies, according to the Sacramento Bee. Touted in making the case for Laura’s Law, ADMHS has benefited in recent months from millions in state grants, infusions related to the Affordable Care Act, and budget adjustments for this fiscal year — all coupled with boosted outreach programs.

Whatever the source, the funding for Laura’s Law couldn’t detract from funding for existing countywide mental-health services.

Whether Laura’s Law could have stopped Elliot Rodger or Nicolas Holzer from claiming the lives of 10 people will never be known, officials alluded to Tuesday. But, said Dudley, having it in place in the future could help.“In and of itself,” she said, “the impact may be small but extremely significant.”

Acting on a tip, Santa Barbara Sheriff’s deputies prevented a potential suicide on 8/27 when they responded to the Isla Vista apartment of a UCSB student who said he wanted to kill himself.

After a negative firearms check, deputies visited a home on Camino Del Sur and detained a 20-year-old man after a loaded .357 revolver was found hidden under a pillow in his bedroom. It was later determined to be legally registered to a family member. Brass knuckles were also found in the residence, and the man was arrested for possession and booked into Santa Barbara County Jail with bail set at $20,000.

Stealing crabs from competitors’ Santa Barbara Harbor holding tanks, among other fishingrelated offenses, will net John Anthony Wilson six months in Santa Barbara County Jail and three years of felony probation. The charges arose after California Fish and Wildlife discovered Wilson had repeatedly nabbed crabs from other fishermen’s tanks and sold his unreported and stolen catch at regional fish markets. Wilson will also have to repay the affected fishermen, reimburse Fish and Wildlife for its investigation costs, and is banned temporarily from fishing commercially or recreationally.

The teen drove onto the freeway via the northbound 101 off-ramp at State Route 150 (a k a Rincon Road), and after hitting the truck, his car rolled onto its roof. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The truck driver was unhurt. Authorities shut down northbound Highway 101 overnight for many hours to investigate the incident.

Two bills inspired by Elliot Rodger’s lethal rampage in Isla Vista this spring — which left seven dead, including Rodger, and 13 injured — cleared both houses of the State Legislature this weekend and now await action by Governor Jerry Brown. Though Rodger stabbed three of his victims to death, both bills — one introduced by Santa Barbara’s Assemblymember Das Williams and the other by Santa Barbara’s State Senator HannahBeth Jackson — seek to limit the body count a person with serious mental illness and armed with guns could inflict.

Williams’s bill — which he cosponsored with Assemblymember Nancy Skinner — would allow law enforcement, blood relatives, or roommates of someone suspected of posing a serious threat to themselves or others to seek a judge’s order to remove any firearms from that person’s possession. Although the Williams bill cleared both chambers handily, it encountered some last-minute flak from the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment rights organizations that testified and mobilized robo-calls from throughout the state against it. Williams stressed these calls came from outside the district and insisted that the measure enjoyed strong bipartisan support in both Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

At issue was the level of due process governing the decision-making process. Williams said the bill was amended to require a higher burden of proof for a judge to issue such an order. The target of such an action would have to wait 21 days to file an appeal contesting the decision. “If the judge screws up, the person gets a chance to make their case 21 days later, and they get their guns back,” Williams said. “But if someone gets shot to death by a madman with a gun, well, they don’t get a chance to come back 21 days later.”

Jackson’s bill seeks to encourage law enforcement personnel, when conducting welfare checks, to find out whether the individual owns a gun. Had the Sheriff’s deputies conducting a welfare check on Rodger — at the instigation of his mother — looked up his name for gun registration, they would have discovered he’d purchased three handguns within months of the melee. “When they interviewed Rodger, he presented very well,” Jackson said. “But if the deputies knew he’d just bought three semi-automatic handguns, they might have asked a few more follow-up questions.” Jackson’s bill does not require the gun-ownership review. Instead, it requires that law enforcement agencies develop a protocol to address such eventualities. Law enforcement agencies, Jackson noted, were adamant they needed the flexibility to respond as the individual circumstances dictated, not according to a legislative formula.

Neither Williams nor Jackson would hazard a guess how Governor Brown might act on either bill. “He’s got a 50-50 voting record when it comes to gun-control issues,” said Jackson. Williams added, “He really needs to hear from people in Santa Barbara and Ventura. The governor has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, and I — Nick Welsh appreciate that, but we need more than that. We need action.”

will run under Mesa Road, sparing the ecologically sensitive habitat from potential spills, giving the district better access, and increasing the flow capacity. The project should finish by the end of the year.

Addressing the drought, officials have tightened the spigot at seven showers across county beaches, shutting off three at Jalama Beach and one each at Goleta Beach, Arroyo Burro Beach, Lookout Park Beach, and Rincon Park Beach.

The County Parks department has also halted power-washing of the Goleta Pier and frequent washing of department vehicles, and has lowered watering across all of its parks by at least 30 percent.

The City of Goleta last week received a $3.6 million boost for two bike-path projects planned for 2015. Two grants from the state’s Active Transportation Program (ATP) will be put toward installing a bike path along Pacific Oaks Drive en route to Ellwood School — a project slated for completion next summer — and building bike lanes and sidewalks for the Ekwill Street and Fowler Road Extensions Project, which will commence construction at the end of next year.

The city’s applications were in a total pool of 772 competitors vying for $1 billion in awards.

ENVIRONMENT Santa Maria has denounced an online petition asking its City Council to ban fracking in

city limits, stating there are neither any applications to frack nor any “active or idle petroleum wells anywhere within the city’s parks, retention basins, or greenbelts.” Petition creator Amy Anderson — a 20-year Santa Maria resident who volunteers for Measure P, which would ban all fracking, acidizing, and cyclic-steaming operations in the county’s unincorporated areas — pointed to the council’s 2012 approval of development rules for oil production on Area 9, an 890-acre parcel on the city’s west side. Anderson said she plans on presenting the petition — it gained 379 signatures since posting in early August — to the council in October. Of Area 9, city officials stated, “No specific authorization was given for fracking there or in other open spaces of the city.”

Assemblymember Das Williams said his “favorite” bill this legislative session would eliminate a major loophole in California’s recycling law, preventing cities and counties from claiming in their diversion tabulations green waste and organic materials that they had chipped, composted, and landfilled. “You can’t just bury the stuff and claim you recycled it,” Williams exclaimed. State recycling law mandates local government agencies divert 75 percent of their waste streams from landfills. Williams said 14 cities will no longer meet state standards with the passage of this new rule. Santa Barbara’s landfill operation at Tajiguas Canyon won’t be affected, he said, because it hasn’t used such accounting practices for 10 years.

Stone Pines Dying Drought Killing Off Historic Anapamu Trees

TROUBLED TREES: Four of the historic stone pines (top photo) that canopy East Anapamu Street have died from drought; 12 more are at risk. At bottom is the street in May 1923.

T

BY N I C K W E L S H he canopy of 90 historic stone pine trees that so dramatically define a fiveblock stretch of East Anapamu Street is currently under serious stress by the state’s prolonged drought. Four of the pines have died and will soon be removed. Another 12 are considered at risk, said Tim Downey, arborist for the City of Santa Barbara.

Before the drought, Downey said, street crews watered the trees twice a year during summer months. In 2013, the frequency jumped to four times a year. Now it’s 12. Even that’s not enough, he said, and last week, volunteers working with his department reached out to residents living on both sides of the tree-lined street and asked that they irrigate their yards to provide more water for the trees.

The stone pine canopy is not just atmospherically compelling; it’s historic. The first of the stone pines were planted on East Anapamu before 1910 by the city’s first park superintendent, A. Boyd Doremus, who worked in consultation with Italian horticulturalist Francesco Franceschi, who cultivated the pine seeds and after whom Franceschi Park has been named.

A second wave of stone pines was planted there between 1919 and 1921, bringing the total number to 79.

At that time, Downey said, Anapamu Street was a narrow dirt roadway with no paved sidewalks or other urban hardscapes to impede the growth and development of the trees. Over the years, the street was paved and sidewalks installed. As a result, the trees and their roots have had to struggle for turf. The buckled condition of the street and the sidewalks is evidence of the trees’ tenacity. But they’ve paid a price. Typically, Downey said, stone pines will live about 300 years. Under existing urbanized conditions,

their life span is considerably less. He estimated most of the trees now standing have about 50 years if they can make it through the drought.

That’s becoming more of a big “if.” Without enough water, the stone pines can’t produce enough sap. And without the sap, there’s not enough pressure within the trees to keep bark beetles from boring in and laying their eggs. If the beetles manage to dig all the way around the circumference of a tree, they can effectively stop the flow of nutrients to the top, thus killing it.

The trick, said Downey, is getting enough water to the trees. Currently, his crews are hauling water via truck or tanker, and inserting it into tubes that ideally would reach 30 inches below the surface. Given how dry the soil has become, Downey said, his crews are hard-pressed to get the tubes 18 inches down. That’s why he’s seeking cooperation from the neighbors.

The more neighbors who join in by irrigating more, Downey said, the better chances the trees have of surviving. Making this a tougher sell, the City Council just increased water rates for all but necessary uses in order to encourage conservation. Downey said he hasn’t offered to pay the additional water bills of participating neighbors, but said he might not have to. According to Downey, city water experts are ready, willing, and able to assess the residents’ current irrigation practices for possible improved efficiencies. To date, Downey said, two neighbors have indicated a willingness to participate, but he’s optimistic more will follow suit.“The volunteers just went out this week,” he said.

Although the stone pines are perhaps the most visually dramatic, they are hardly the only distressed trees within city limits. Downey said to date the drought has claimed as many as 40 ■ trees.

Groundwater Plans Afoot

S

BY N I C K W E L S H anta Barbara’s two representatives in Sacramento both strongly supported the two bills just passed by the Legislature, requiring individual water agencies to craft groundwater management plans. California remains the last state in the Western United States where such planning doesn’t occur.“For 200 years, it’s been California’s policy that the person with the longest straw in the ground gets as much water as they want,” said Assemblymember Das Williams.“That’s crazy.”

The two new bills, if approved, mandate that all water agencies devise long-range management plans to ensure their groundwater supplies are not over-harvested. But how that plays out has yet to be seen, especially if and when private property owners with legal drill-

ing rights refuse to release data indicating how much water they’re pumping. Traditionally, any government efforts to secure such data has encountered profound resistance from the affected property owners.

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson secured passage of an extremely limited bill earlier this summer that gave a single Ventura County water agency the authority to get such information. She said she encountered no resistance to the bill, which she carried on behalf of the water agency in question. When so many residents rely on groundwater for their water supplies, Jackson argued, it was imperative that some planning occur. She said the key details would be worked out only after such plans were drafted.

he Fess Parker DoubleTree hotel came under fire recently for an alleged misuse of pesticides on its property. Hired by the beachside hotel, Hydrex Pest Control applied bird poison known as Avitrol on its grounds in an attempt to get rid of pigeons that swarmed near an outdoor eating space.

Though no birds are known to have died from the substance, environmentalists say Hydrex failed to follow directions on the label, placing pets, protected wildlife species, and children at risk of a potentially toxic substance.

PAVING THE WAY: Judge Denise de Bellefeuille was not the first woman to serve on the Santa Barbara bench, but for many years, she was the only one. Now there are six, plus two commissioners.

PAU L WELLM AN

News of theWeek

Big Changes on Bench

BY N I C K W E L S H ver the next several months, the Santa Barbara bench will lose two judges with 53 years of combined experience. The first to step down will be Judge Denise de Bellefeuille, who will retire September 24. De Bellefeuille first donned the black robes 21 years ago after being appointed by Republican Governor Pete Wilson. She was the first female judge on the South Coast.

Judge Frank Ochoa announced last week he will be retiring, as well, effective early January.

That will bring to a conclusion a 32-year career.

When he was appointed in 1983 by Governor Jerry Brown, Ochoa was the first Hispanic to serve on the Santa Barbara County bench in the 20th century. And at 32 years old, he was the youngest judge in the state. “I’ve now served half my entire life as a judge,” he commented.“It’s time for me to try something else.”

Ochoa has been teaching at UCSB the last five years, which he said he’s enjoyed immensely.

“I’ve been gratified to help a number of young people make their way into the law and legal careers,” he said. “I can tell you that’s infinitely more rewarding than figuring out how many years to sentence young people that same age to state prison.”

De Bellefeuille said she intends to take a month off and make herself available as an assignment judge, filling in for other judges either sick or on vacation. For most of her judicial career, de Bellefeuille’s caseload has exclusively involved civil litigation, though for the past 18 months, she’s handled the juvenile court assignment, as well. That involves minors accused of committing crimes and minors who’ve been abused by their adult caregivers.

“Often, we find they’re one and the same,” she said of the young people. As juvenile judge, de Bellefeuille took satisfaction that she got to help many teens accused of delinquency before “the school to prison pipeline became manifest” in their lives. “I’m not saying we’re miracle workers, but we could make a difference.”

When de Bellefeuille first took the bench after 13 years as a prosecuting attorney, she was at times outspoken about the “good old boys club” that permeated much of Santa Barbara’s legal establishment. Although there were two women on the North County bench when she arrived, she soon found herself alone after one retired and the other was forced from office after brandishing a firearm during a domestic dispute. She remembers the silence with which her suggestions would be greeted at certain meetings, only to be applauded when subsequently restated by a male counterpart. Today, she noted, there are eight women judges and two women commissioners, and the culture of the courts has changed accordingly. “There’s a critical mass now, and it’s made a world of difference. It seems like such a big deal, but really, it’s just normal.”

In her own practice, de Bellefeuille has embodied that critical mass. While hardly the only judge to be protective and solicitous of her jurors, she’s certainly the first — and only — to make a point to serve jurors apple strudel every Wednesday. If jurors nod off during trial — as sometimes happens — she’s quick to offer them a strong cup of her personal brew. While the strudel is offered to attorneys for both sides, as well, she noted that such gestures help alleviate the tensions many jurors tend to feel. “I tell all my jurors that they’re the judge in the case. If I had the budget, I’d buy them all black robes. I just referee the way the evidence is presented.”

De Bellefeuille has also helped school new judges. Among the many pitfalls she warns them about is their own personal bias. “We all have them. If you want to be a good judge, you can’t ignore them,” she cautioned. The court system, she said, reflects the bias of society at large. “We have white kids who tend to get off more leniently than their brown-skinned peers. They’ll tend to get informal probation more often, where the brown kids will wind up with something a little more punitive. Judges have to be conscious of this. You have to work ■ on it.”

The Barking of the Neighbors’ Dogs

BOMBS AWAY: It’s that time of year again, and

sadly, I find myself desperate for a new drug.

Alcohol makes me as stupid as I already am. Pot makes me paranoid. When it comes to religion, I — like Fox Mulder of X-Files fame — may want to believe, but, unlike Mulder, I have serious doubts the truth is out there. For me, football has always delivered an acceptable oblivion; there are few things on the planet as endlessly riveting as the forward pass. The excesses of the game, however, have grown so invasive they can no longer be squinted away. When ex-players now shoot themselves in the heart so their brain tissue can be preserved for medical evaluation, clearly, we’ve taken a few wrong turns.

While the elevator-cam images of Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking his wife unconscious don’t come close to the grisly gore of the beheading images spammed by Islamic whack jobs trying to get their point across, they still shock and offend. For his assault, Rice was infamously suspended for two games by league commissioner Roger Goodell. When a wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns tested positive for smoking pot, Goodell banished him for an entire year.

Having first ingested football Kool-Aid while growing up in the suburban sprawl of Washington, D.C., I am forced — yet again — to confront the obviously racist name of my home team, the Redskins. This issue has been popping up since 1992, but now it’s here to stay. Earlier this year, a federal judge stripped the Redskins

of their trademark protections because the name is patently offensive. Now anyone can sell Redskin paraphernalia without getting sued by the Redskins. Another judge has ruled that the term “Redskin” will not be uttered in his court or written in court documents, but shall henceforth be known as “The Washington Team.”

Network football commentators Phil Simms and Tony Dungy — both Super Bowl winners — have vowed not to use the “R” word when covering games in which the R-words are playing. And sometime this August, the California Assembly — apparently not having much to do — passed a resolution urging Redskin owner Dan Snyder to change the team name. “Over my dead body,” Snyder has consistently replied.

If contradiction were an intoxicating illegal substance, then the Redskin’s obscenely convoluted history is a wagon off of which I would repeatedly fall. Team owner Snyder and Goodell have sought to make the case that the name originated as an expression of respect and admiration. According to Goodell, the name implies “strength, courage, pride and respect.”

This fiction stems from the myth that the team was so named in honor of the fact that its first coach — a guy named Lone Star Dietz — was part Sioux. This, of course, is pure hogwash.

Dietz only claimed such heritage as a dodge to get him out of the draft during World War I, a lie that got him 30 days in the slammer. Team founder George Preston Marshall denied such rumors, as well, in newspaper accounts published in 1933. Marshall was one of America’s

great racists, and no one, least of all Snyder of Goodell, should pretend otherwise. He steadfastly refused to hire black players until forced to do so in 1961 by the federal government, famously protesting he’d hire blacks only when the Harlem Globetrotters hired whites. But Marshall needed an easement over federally owned land to build his brand-new stadium, so racism took a backseat to business. Still, when Bobby Mitchell, the first black to actually play for the Redskins, stepped off the bus for his first training camp, Marshall greeted him, and insisted Mitchell join along in singing “Dixie,” then the national anthem of the segregationist South. Marshall’s impact, of course, was felt much more broadly. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Marshall, a successful businessman, bailed out the league financially. In exchange, he demanded no team hire any black players. Period. That color line would crack only when new leagues sprang up to challenge the monopolistic dominance of the NFL. When Marshall died in 1969, he left his fortune to a new foundation, stipulating not one dollar be spent on anything “that supports the principle of racial integration in any form.”

On the positive side, it was Marshall who seized on the passing game — rather than the monotonous sludge-and-trudge running attack — as the key to attracting new fans. At his instigation, the football was physically reengineered to make it easier to throw. Hence the perfect spiral. History has since revealed the forward pass originated — pre-Marshall —

at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, not Notre Dame as previously believed. The Carlisle players were too small to compete head-on with the smash-and-crash behemoths of their white rivals, so they developed the pass as the great equalizer. It worked. The Carlisle School, incidentally, was founded by a former Indian hunter intent on “Americanizing” Native American students by drumming their cultural heritage out of them. While the death rate was high, those who survived were indoctrinated into the White Man’s way through football. Out of this emerged the changes that have made football what it is today. Ironically, it would be the Redskins — long after Marshall died — who would first win the Super Bowl with a black quarterback — Doug Williams — at the helm.

Williams threw for a record four touchdowns.

Just because there’s no remotely supportable defense for keeping the Redskin name is no reason it should be changed. The name inextricably ties Washington, D.C. — the nation’s capital — to the twin original sins of slavery and genocide. Maybe that sounds preachy, but as names go, that’s an accomplishment. Closer to home, it turns out the Chumash played a game called shinny, in which about 200 people thronged onto a field — men and women together — and tried to bat a hard wooden ball into the opposing team’s goal. Sounds cool. Maybe I’ll round up 200 close personal acquaintances for a pick-up game over at La Cumbre Junior High. Should I come up short, thank god the season’s started. — Nick Welsh

Santa Barbara County Residents: Santa Barbara County residents have been enjoying fresh, California-grown citrus fruit for generations. Unfortunately, an invasive insect called the Asian citrus psyllid has been found in the area and is threatening local citrus – and we need your help to stop it.

Asian citrus psyllids are brown, aphid-like insects that feed at a 45-degree angle.

The Asian citrus psyllid is a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus plants, and can transmit a deadly plant disease called Huanglongbing (HLB). There is no cure for HLB and infected trees will die. The best way to protect local citrus trees is to stop the Asian citrus psyllid.

The Citrus Pest & Disease Prevention Program offers the

Young Asian citrus psyllids are yellow and produce a white, waxy substance.

following tips: • Inspect your trees regularly for the psyllid. Visit CaliforniaCitrusThreat.org to see photos of the pest.

• Report psyllid finds by calling the California Department of Food and Agriculture hotline – 800-491-1899.

• Cooperate with local agriculture officials who may ask to access your property.

The Last Straw

W

hy would a developer tear up Hollister Avenue and South Glen Annie Road right before a threeday weekend, causing more congestion in an already high-traffic area?! At Hollister in front of Costco and Camino Real Marketplace and down the right side of the Westar Project, all sidewalks were torn out on Friday, orange cones everywhere.

My neighbors and I park on South Glen Annie, but not now. We also walk along the Hollister sidewalks to the crosswalk at the light on our way to Camino Real, but not this weekend. Couldn’t they wait until Tuesday after the holiday? Will they immediately put in new sidewalks?

They run over us as if we weren’t even here. When water was connected at Westar, they kept water service uninterrupted at Camino Real by instead interrupting neighbors’ sleep with work all night long: backhoes, generators, bright lights, dump trucks beep-beep-beeping backward, work crews shouting over generator noise, the sound and smell of welding torches … almost as bad as the stench that comes through our closed windows when Westar’s portable toilets get pumped.

Westar now wants to add an excess of over-lit signs: “Here I Am,” “Vacancy,” “Pool House,” “Smart and Final.”

Time after time, I’ve watched the Goleta City Council seem to take a stand on an issue but, at the end, sit still and let Westar have its way. The City Council is allowing these violations: It wants this project, and that’s that.

This project is going to stand out like a sore thumb with the three-story heights and overcrowding in the 23-acre square parcel. And we have no water! Go look at Cachuma! If the city needs housing, why aren’t good old-fashioned houses with front and backyards, without association fees, being built instead of apartments?

The Greatest

J

ohn Zant’s July 17 article, a biographical narrative concerning Santa Barbara coach Sam Cathcart, was inspiring. I admire the “Greatest Generation,” and Sam epitomizes the best of the great. What a man — in every facet of his life. Sam and his brethren’s incredible experiences during WWII are always fascinat-

ing, and I am grateful that they were successful. How lucky were those players at Santa Barbara High to be led by Sam Cathcart. I didn’t know anything about Sam prior to reading John’s story, and I look forward to more — and I hope his book will be coming soon!

—Robert Parham, Carpinteria

No Mistake

M

any young, unarmed American men found themselves restrained by police while protesting the killing of a fellow young, unarmed American man — Michael Brown — who was murdered by the hands of the “police.” Some say it’s about “color”; I think it’s about “justice.” Some aspire to it; others do not!

Some say respect the police. I say respect those police worthy of respect — those who protect and serve morally, not those who murder senselessly. Police officers are men and women, and like all men and women, there are the just and the unjust, the moral and the immoral, the thoughtful and the thoughtless, the kind and the menacing, the truthful and the dishonest …

A life. A single human life. Do you know how precious that is? Singular and irreplaceable.

Some say it was a mistake. I say some mistakes just can’t happen.

—Thea St. Omer, S.B.

Despite his rapid disease progression, Hal continued to enjoy life until the very end.

Hal took pleasure in many different things. From early childhood he was interested in science and math, but throughout his life he also loved hiking, running, music, flying (he got a pilot’s license), and trying anything new.

He was a loving and involved father, a caring brother and son, and a wonderful husband to his wife, Fran, of  years.

Hal attended college at Caltech, where he met Fran. He graduated in  with a degree in engineering, and married Fran that same year. He and Fran moved with their two children, Jason and Erin, to Santa Barbara in , where Hal enjoyed running with his dogs along the coastline and trails.

As a Software Engineer, Hal was instrumental in developing the cryptographic program PGP and other key software that help secure individual privacy online.

Tucker Heintz

// – //

Tucker Heintz will be remembered by the countless lives he impacted before passing away on August , . Born April , , surfer, foodie, and kindhearted with a crazy sense of humor and inventive creativity are only a few words to describe him. Tucker started surfing as a young boy living on the beach in Malibu. His immediate love for the ocean was apparent as he would build driftwood forts on the beach next to his house and spend the nights listening to the waves and his days surfing them.

Tucker spent his teenage years in Thousand Oaks, CA, where he and his sister, Janna, were originally born. Still managing to surf mornings before school, he graduated in  from Thousand Oaks High School, where he met some of his lifelong friends, including Nick Isé.

Tucker’s passion for the ocean continued as Santa Barbara became his hometown after high school, where he met Rick Tontz, his forever surfing brother. His commitment to the community continued where he spent the next  years of his life as a restaurant manager and bartender for many local favorites, including The Brewhouse and The Endless Summer Bar-Cafe. Recently, Tucker obtained his dream job at a local tech start-up company.

Many of his friends and former employees looked up to Tucker as a big brother, and he was also known as Uncle Tuck to his nieces and nephew: Michelle, Rebecca, Emily, Matthew, and Jessica.

A special thanks to Tucker’s oncologist, Dr. Daniel Greenwald, and the  South staff at Cottage Hospital who took excellent care of him. Throughout his battle with pancreatic cancer, Tucker was surrounded with love by family and close friends. His mother, Scotty Miller, was honored to spend every day during the last three months helping him through this difficult journey.

Tucker is survived by his mother, Scotty Miller, father Ken Heintz, sister Janna Jagoe, stepfather David Miller, step-mother Suzanne Heintz, and many members of their extended families.

Tucker’s memorial service will be held on Saturday, September th, at Leadbetter Beach,  East Ortega Street, Santa Barbara, CA . The beach gathering and paddle out starts at pm. A celebration of Tucker’s life will be from  - pm at The Endless Summer,  Harbor Way, Suite , Santa Barbara, CA .

Tucker is being honored as the  The Friendship Paddle (www.friendshippaddle.org) recipient. It’s a wonderful event and Tucker had so wanted to be able to still be with us in October.

We invite you to check out this great group of men who paddle miles in the ocean to make a difference in the lives of others.

Their hearts are huge! Tucker’s name will live on in part by being selected. Thank you guys! You are the best.

This was a bond that would last a lifetime, until his death in . After several years in LA, they moved to Santa Barbara in , where they raised their family. Alvita was a homemaker, gardener, animal lover, friend, and mother to so many. She touched countless lives with her gracious hospitality. Many people in Santa Barbara have experienced the great food, warm company and memorable moments of her home.

She and Bob were also active in community organizing in the seventies. She would like to be remembered for her contribution to founding the Health Task Force, which later evolved into the Westside and Eastside community clinics.

The family would like to acknowledge the special contribution of her daughter Lisa and her grandson Vincent. Their devoted care for the past three years allowed Alvita to remain in her home and live with the love and dignity that she deserved.

We also thank the support of Hospice, especially Dee, and Raquel, who did an outstanding job of caring for our mother, and the caretakers.

Well done Alvita!... Bravo for a life well lived. Your family adores

Run for the Border

on the beat

der, I ran into not just a dark monsoon rain cloud but fear and loathing, along with racism, dirty money, and worse. No, not the Mexican border — I was in Arizona.

While on the road, I managed to avoid goons employed by loveable Sheriff Joe (“Joke”) Arpaio, a one-man virtual crime wave who calls himself “America’s Toughest Sheriff.”

He’s been found guilty in federal court of racial profiling, his jails are so bad they’ve been ruled unconstitutional, and critics claim that he’s so busy abusing the rights of Latinos that he’s neglected to investigate sex crimes, violated election laws, and more.

But Maricopa County voters apparently see much good in Arpaio, who is 82. They’ve elected him six times, and he’s so popular he could be sheriff for life. In last week’s Arizona Republican primary election, candidates practically begged for his endorsement.

Arizona — think Texas, or one big Fox News special.

Tons of outside money poured into Arizona before last week’s Republican primary, some of it anonymous (critics called it “dark money”), aimed at keeping Arizona a red state.

State Treasurer Doug Ducey, former Cold Stone Creamery exec, is not surprisingly outspokenly anti-abortion and not surprisingly won the GOP primary for governor.

But the number one issue was The Border — no, not the one with liberal, abortion-loving,

environmental, air-quality-promoting, Demodominated California but the one with Mexico.

That’s where the fear comes in, including fear that 8-year-olds fleeing death and violence in Central America might swarm Arizona, filling its schools and bringing (yes!) disease. At a Bullhead City forum, a 57-year-old man yelled, “We need to send some tanks down there.”

Christine Jones, former executive of the Internet company GoDaddy and one of six running for the GOP nomination for governor, promised to send 1,200 National Guardsmen to the border. She lost.

Tea Party–backed Ducey called for “fencing, satellites, guardsmen, more police and prosecutors” to secure the border. But the powers that be seem to care very little about the education that homegrown students are getting now. The state was ordered by the courts to come up with $1.6 billion for its short-changed, underfunded schools. But it’s balking at paying even the first $317 million installment.

Anonymous Internet rants by state schools chief John Huppenthal — he admitted making them — were too much even for Republicans, who bounced him from office. He’d called welfare recipients “lazy pigs” with flat-screen TVs, waged war on the Spanish language, and compared Planned Parenthood founders to Nazis.

Naturally, no candidate in his or her right mind would dare say anything positive about the hated Obamacare. One Republican running for State Senate faced accusations that he “voted

Gibson USA Test drive event this Friday 12-5pm!

for Obamacare” when he actually voted against it during budget hearings on expanding Medicaid.

Arizona, ever hostile to those with brown skins, is embroiled in a court case involving its requirement that voters must show a passport or birth certificate before they can register to vote. Backers say it’s aimed at suppressing fraud, although there’s little evidence of this, while supporters claim it’s really aimed at suppressing voting.

Sailboats On The Roof A

t first blush, it might seem counterintuitive if not outright self-serving. Developer Neil Dipaola says he wants to keep the “funk” in the Funk Zone. How? By building a four-story mixed-use development with a new rooftop hotel, bar, and swimming pool.

This is funky? It’s easily the biggest proposal to hit the city’s industrialized waterfront neighborhood in 20 years. But it’s not the mere size that amazes. It’s the ingredients. The most striking being the roofline, which is audaciously original and whimsical beyond anything city planners had ever seen. Instead of traditional hotel rooms, Dipaola has proposed that guests stay in sailboats — real ones — installed on the top floor, along with Airstream trailers and industrial storage containers.

SAILBOATS ON ROOFTOPS? Neil Dipaola is definitely Santa Barbara’s next new big thing.

Dipaola (pronounced dee·powla) first gained notice several years ago, winning approval from California’s notoriously protective Coastal Commission to build the biggest, flashiest, and most environmentally innovative private mixed-use development in Isla Vista history. Then, Dipaola and his partners, Matthew and Wally Hofmann, installed the first Airstream hotel in downtown Santa Barbara, locating five shimmering aluminum retro-chic coaches at the front of the historic Santa Barbara Autocamp mobile-home park on upper De la Vina Street. Impressively, they did so without evicting any of the tenants — many elderly, blue collar, and on fixed incomes.

It’s been a huge success. Today, that same partnership, Autocamp, is poised to airlift many more Airstream hotel rooms onto underutilized parking garage rooftops in Los Angeles and San Francisco and to launch what’s been billed as “the world’s largest Airstream hotel” in a sleazy section of downtown Las Vegas long dominated by meth heads and crack houses.

When otherwise not occupied, Dipaola surfs, scuba dives, flies helicopters, skis, and runs 36-mile marathons along back-country trails linking Goleta and Montecito. He sits on the boards of the Environmental Defense Center and the Community Environmental Council, and helps direct a private family foundation — started when his two older brothers sold their online advertising company — that doles out about $5 million a year.

This past year, Dipaola turned 30.

CREATIVE COLLISIONS In person, there’s nothing remotely wild-eyed about Dipaola. He’s thoughtful and focused. His smile is soft and careful. He works out of an expansive, uncluttered penthouse located on State Street above the city attorney’s offices, with a fine view of Santa Barbara’s quintessentially red-tiled City Hall.

On his office’s white walls is a flow chart, scrawled in red Magic Marker, detailing Dipaola’s expanding business ventures. Below are three boxes — also drawn in red — outlining his essential ingredients for success: Skill, Experience, and Luck. The trick, Dipaola explained, is to reduce luck, even though it can never be completely erased. That hasn’t stopped him, however, from trying.

Can Eco-Groovy Developer

Neil Dipaola Save Funk Zone from Gentrification?

text by Nick Welsh

In conversation, Dipaola speaks with zeal of a hipster evangelist, preaching the twin gospels of youthful entrepreneurialism and smart-growth urban design. He’s all about the greenest building technology possible, getting people out of their cars, and redefining the American dream to include something other than the single-family home with a two-car garage. Smaller units, he said, “can be sexy, sustainable, and affordable.”

The term “authentic” pops up frequently — likewise, his notion of “creating collisions,” defined as public spaces engineered to allow people to accidentally bump into each other with enough frequency to spawn a sense of community. State Street is undeniably gorgeous, Dipaola noted.

But there aren’t nearly enough collisions.

Where people still do collide, Dipaola believes, is the Funk Zone, the city’s much-heralded former industrial no-man’s land close to the Pacific Ocean. Over the last five years or so, it’s been transformed into an anarchistic hodgepodge of artists’ workshops, wine bars, and fancy restaurants. Dipaola is hardly the first developer to be entranced by this neighborhood. Brian Kelly, a visionary real estate flipper, recently made several fortunes by investing in Funk Zone properties, installing restaurants such as the now very hot Lark, and then selling. But with these changes, many artists, craftspeople, and other rougharound-the-edges characters have been forced out. Jim O’Mahoney, who has operated a surf museum there for 32 years, long before the name Funk Zone was ever coined, has philosophically concluded that all good things must end. “We’re front-row center to the beach,” he said,“and there are 19 cruise ships scheduled to start landing next month. What else do you expect?”

Against this lucratively grim inevitability, Dipaola claims that he can keep the Funk Zone “funky,” with his four-story Rubik’s Cube development of mixed-uses on a 1.7-acre parcel of land — the site of the former Weber’s Bread bakery — with its epicenter at Gray Avenue and Mason Street.

Here’s how.

For starters, Dipaola is proposing to build 64 new rental housing units — not condominiums, rental units. That’s big. Of those, 10 would be designated as “affordable”— admittedly for households earning up to $55,000 a year. That could bring middle-class people into the neighborhood. The number of private developers building rental property in Santa Barbara can still be counted on one hand.

City planners are optimistic new development guidelines recently approved will spur more —

highlighting the 89-unit project now going up on outer State Street. But the jury remains out.

Sixty-four rental units in today’s zero-vacancyrate housing climate is clearly Dipaola’s ace in the hole with city planners.

Secondly, Dipaola is promising a secure home for Santa Barbara’s “creatives” scrambling to maintain a toehold in Santa Barbara’s highpriced market. In preliminary plans, Dipaola indicated he’s setting aside 12,000 square feet of space for artists, surfboard shapers, and assorted craftspeople. Of that, one-quarter would be dedicated to a shared communal studio — replete with welding equipment, a potter’s wheel, and whatever else is deemed essential to the messy slop of artistic creation. The remaining space would be diced into affordable cubbyholes for studio, gallery, or retail purposes.

As these plans, which include a restaurant and 25,000 square feet of retail shops, wend through the city’s painstaking design-review process, Dipaola has also proposed locating a temporary — three- to four-year — Funk Zone Artist Village on the site, customizing 12 industrial shipping containers into artist work spaces with windows, skylights, and electrical outlets.

An Airstream with kitchen facilities would be installed to sell food. As part of Dipaola’s ongoing conspiracy to create collisional space, the artists would be required to open their studios to the public at least six times a year.

This second proposal is so off the grid that no city regulations applied. Initially, Dipaola proceeded as if he didn’t need permits. This tweaked city planners, who insisted that he do so. It remains uncertain if these details can be hammered out. The container shells might have to be not only elevated for flood protection but also strapped down in case of earthquakes — the installation date has been set back several months.

Visually, what sets his long-term development apart is his aesthetic enthusiasm for urban-industrial grit — no white stucco or red tile anywhere. Rather than scraping the buildings now on the site, Dipaola proposed keeping many of the structures, most notably the Weber’s Bread grain silo, onto which he hopes late-night movies could one day be screened.

“This isn’t State Street. This isn’t El Pueblo Viejo.

This is the Funk Zone,” he said. “It’s gritty. It’s different. It’s where the spirit of Solstice lives.”

But as charmed as many in City Hall have been, Dipaola faces major challenges. He’s asking to build a 30- to 40-room hotel on land that was zoned for nothing bigger than a sixroom boutique inn. And he’s asking to build a four-story development where city zoning allows for only three. And he’s asking to provide less than half the parking spaces than existing zones requires. Anyone else would be dead in the water. But Neil Dipaola isn’t anyone else.

RAISING UP Dipaola grew up the youngest of three boys in what he described as a “solidly lower middle class” household in the San Fernando Valley community of Woodland Hills. His father, Phil, started work with GTE. His first job, according to Neil, was scooping change out of the phone machines. From there, he moved up the food chain. His mother was a hard-charging, bargain-hunting coupon clipper with an unfailing bullshit meter. It was a household of expectations, limits, and support.

His father was the son of Italian immigrants.

His own mother grew up in Cleveland; his father, near Pittsburgh. Phil — the first in his family to graduate from high school — served in Vietnam, where he made extra money cutting hair. After the war, Phil attended community college, eventually graduating from USC. He had an entrepreneurial bent that he sought to pass on to his children.

The elder Dipaola said he retired “early” from the phone company — if 25 years is early — and started a gourmet coffee roasting company.

After eight years, he sold that. Then, at age 59, he decided he wanted to get a marriage family therapy license. He did that, too.

Neil, according to his father, never lacked for motivation; he knew what he wanted to do and did it. At 14, Neil got a job working for the YMCA as a camp counselor trainee. He became one of the youngest California State Beach lifeguards, at the age of 16. In high school, Dipaola played water polo and had the lead role in the production of The Music Man. During his senior year, he ran for class president and won.

THIS ISN’T STATE STREET. THIS ISN’T EL PUEBLO VIEJO. THIS IS THE FUNK ZONE. ... IT’S GRITTY. IT’S DIFFERENT. IT’S WHERE THE SPIRIT OF SOLSTICE LIVES. —Neil Dipaola

‘

’

“If he ever got into trouble, I didn’t hear about it,” said his father.

Dipaola’s older brothers both attended UC Berkeley. One was a business whiz; the other, a math freak. They would later start what became one of the fastest-growing businesses in Southern California — Vantage Media — out of the family’s garage. They sold in 2007, reportedly for $100 million.

Neil Dipaola — an avid surfer — attended UCSB instead of Berkeley. “I got as far north as Campus Point,” he said. “And that was that.”

Dipaola majored in environmental studies, intending to become an environmental lawyer.

During his college years, Dipaola experienced what he called an ah-ha moment. “I was into environmental studies, and I wanted all the developers off the coast,” he recounted. “And then I thought,‘What if I’m one of those people, and I can do it right? Maybe I can create a mind shift in the industry.’”

Dipaola decided the man to teach him how was Michael Towbes, the most successful, iconic developer in Santa Barbara. “I didn’t exactly stalk him,” Dipaola said, “but close.” By the time he graduated in 2004, he had gotten an introduction, and after an hour’s meeting in Towbes’s office, Dipaola got an internship. This eventually morphed into a job as an assistant project manager for Towbes’s executive Craig Zimmerman.

At that time, the Towbes machine was not as up to date on green building and environmental sustainability as it is now. Clients liked the idea, Zimmerman said, but they didn’t want to pay extra for it. Dipaola knew about state and federal government programs that would reduce their financial impact. “A lot of people have great vision, and certainly Neil has that,” said Zimmerman. “But what sets him apart is his force of will to make things happen.”

TRAILBLAZING GREEN Around the time he turned 24, Dipaola learned that an environmentally challenged plot of land in Isla Vista’s “Loop” was selling for $2.3 million.

It had been the site of a gas station, a bike shop, and a car repair shop. Isla Vista’s then Redevelopment Agency wanted new housing and anything that might stimulate economic activity in I.V. The agency provided Dipaola with a $1.5 million loan, and he committed that five of the rental units would be designated as “affordable” housing.

Partnering with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Dipaola came up with environmental options that made the development the most innovative green machine on the coast — eventually winning recognition by Governor Jerry Brown.

But first, Dipaola had to get his plans approved. And they were a handful.

Where existing zoning allowed a maximum height of 35 feet, Dipaola proposed 50. Where existing zoning required 99 parking spaces, Dipaola proposed 24. Where Isla Vista’s architectural palette is notoriously sun-bleached, the color scheme Dipaola proposed was colorful, modern, and slightly goofy. Some people hated it. It was so not I.V., they sputtered. But while some individuals spoke out against the project, there was no organized opposition. According to the planners involved, Dipaola simply out-hustled them. The initial ease with which Dipaola proceeded was unheard of in living memory. He first submitted plans in June 2008, and the project was approved by December. The County Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor.

But 10 days after securing approval, Dipaola was notified that two of the most respected members of the California Coastal Commis-

sion, Sara Wan and Mary Shallenberger, had appealed his project. That’s enough for any developer to grab a giant bag of adult diapers. Wan, in particular, enjoyed a reputation for fearless, uncompromising cantankerousness.

Dipaola’s reaction?

He freaked out, held a short-lived pity-party, and went back to work. “I’ve got to get to know these people,” he remembers thinking Dipaola knew that Wan was a UCSB guest lecturer, so he got permission to audit the ISLA VISTA DREAMING: Assemblymember Das class. Wan knew a developer Williams (right) and Supervisor Doreen Farr help Neil Dipaola cut the ribbon at the opening of the LOOP in was taking her class. Six weeks I.V., which Governor Jerry Brown called the greenest in, he asked for an office meet- development on the Central Coast. ing, where he showed her his plans. As he tells it, Wan loved them but said his project had some problems.

He listened. When he submitted new plans, they reflected that he’d been paying attention.“I was impressed,” said Wan.“Instead of hiring some high-priced lobbyist to try to cram something down our throat, he actually listened.” The changes were operational in nature. Among other things, Dipaola installed car shares at the LOOP, allowing students to rent cars for as little as $10 an hour.

The LOOP would be the first development in the county to offer car-sharing.

Not only did Wan and Shallenberger drop their appeals, but Wan actually showed up at the ground-breaking ceremony to speak on Dipaola’s behalf.

“We’re not friends,”Wan explained,“but there’s this notion that environmental protection and development are somehow incompatible. When a developer comes along and does the right thing, well, he should be praised.”

DIPAOLA HAS ARRIVED Dipaola sold the LOOP last year for $30 million, making him a desirable commodity in Santa Barbara: a young man with big ideas, an appetite for experimentation, and more than enough resources to back up both. Accordingly, Dipaola has been gathered into the bosom of Santa Barbara society.

For several years now, Dipaola has been a Fiesta sponsor; he and his family ride in the parade — in a carriage. He’s been invited to activities hosted by the Rancheros Visitadores, though not as yet to their fabled wild rides. On the flip side, Geoff Green of the Fund for Santa Barbara, whose judgment functions as the North Star for the progressive community, is a fan.“I like his style,” said Green. At the Environmental Defense Center (EDC), Dipaola has brought not just dollars but other young-minded energetic donors with environmental ideals. That he tends to bid the highest at EDC auctions doesn’t hurt, either.

State Assemblymember Das Williams counts Dipaola as a personal friend, not just a political benefactor. Dipaola has hosted a handful of fundraisers for him, but the two surf together, hunt lobsters together, and volunteer with Social Venture Partners, an organization of accomplished individuals who mentor nonprofit organizations.

Around City Hall, Dipaola has definitely made his presence felt. Officials are undeniably impressed and intrigued, but they’re also wary. The first public hearing took place this April in front of the Architectural Board of Review (ABR). Dipaola had only just recently purchased the property. One of the

Perhaps more unprecedented was the glowing endorsement bestowed upon Dipaola and his plans

by Ron Gallo, executive director of the Santa Barbara Foundation. For Santa Barbara’s vast sprawling network of nonprofits, the S.B. Foundation functions as a cross between the Federal Reserve and the Supreme Court. As Gallo acknowledged, he’d never attended an ABR meeting before, let alone ever spoken at one. He described Dipaola’s long-range plan as “catalytic development” and a “near-perfect use of the property” that would preserve the Funk Zone as “a cradle of artistic energy.”

Business

When you work at a newspaper, you get all manner of hanger-on soliciting articles about their organizations.

Many of them have little, if anything, to do with Santa Barbara, and most of them likely couldn’t even find our sun-soaked hamlet on a map.

When I heard from Connor Davidge, however, I couldn’t say no. Davidge was my student when I taught at UCSB, so I figured, at the very least, I could take some vicarious credit for his success.

Turns out that Davidge wanted to promote his budding clothing company, Savidge Apparel, an entrepreneurial endeavor that, as Connor Davidge a writing instructor who can barely sell items on Craigslist, I could take no credit for. Davidge, however, started walking into stores cold and convincing owners to ply his wares a year before he graduated this past June. By the time he earned his bachelor’s degree in global studies, Davidge had placed his T-shirts and tank tops in 15 stores.

In Santa Barbara, you can find Savidge shirts at Beach House, Savvy on State, and Plum Goods as well as Rincon Designs in Carpinteria and Movement Boardshop in Isla Vista. Davidge is also in 15 L.A.-area shops, including a cluster near his native Manhattan Beach, five in San Diego, and five in Colorado, where Davidge’s business partner and cousin, Jake Savage, lives. The original line of Savidge Apparel, a mash-up of the cousins’ last names, featured classic California surfscapes paired with classic rock lyrics.

While he started out focusing on the surfer/skater demographic, Davidge would like the clothes to represent

an “old-school California” lifestyle, referring to two shirt designs that feature VW buses. “I’d like to consider our brand a reinvention of OP [Ocean Pacific],” Davidge told me, conjuring in my memory those beachy T-shirts of my childhood, ubiquitous even in suburban Baltimore.

Answering a follow-up question, Davidge said he has no immediate plans to sell ball-hugging corduroy shorts.

Along with ambitious plans for his brand, Davidge is also building into his business a philanthropic sensibility.

Between his global studies major, his year abroad, and his surf travels, Davidge decided early on that he wanted to create a company that gives back.

He remembers vividly stepping off the airplane in Peru during his year abroad and being immediately accosted by begging orphans. He would one day like to create work opportunities for young people in developing countries.

For now, he is donating $3 from each of his online sales (from savidgeapparel.com) to nonprofits like Santa Barbara–based Hands 4 Others, which distributes waterfiltration systems in Latin America.

Davidge, who got his start by selling T-shirts to his neighbors in the Santa Cruz dorm freshman year, has so far bootstrapped Savidge Apparel from an initial investment of $500. Although UCSB has no business program, he credits a sales course he took as part of the university’s entrepreneurship program, and of course the perspective he gained as a global studies major. If his business goes gangbusters following this article’s publication, maybe he can also give some props to his freshman composition instructor.

The “fast-casual,” production-line pizza movement has been in full swing for a while now. But there’s only one game in the country that churns out Neapolitan pies in five minutes, and it’s based right here in Santa Barbara, with a big expansion on Persona Neapolitan Pizzeria chefs and cofounders the way. Persona Glenn Cybulski (left) and Joe Baumel Neapolitan Pizzeria announced earlier this month that it signed a franchise agreement to open 20 restaurants in South Florida, and its owners said they’re aiming for 250 new shops in the next five years.

Occupying the old Taj Café space, Persona opened on State Street in February 2013 and slings hundred of pizzas a day, letting eaters choose their own sauce, cheese, and toppings before the custom creations are thrown into a wood-fired oven and seared for 90 seconds to keep the thin crust crispy on the outside but fluffier in the middle.

There’s also a rotating selection of specialty, chef-inspired options to choose from, along with salads, gelato, and local beer and wine.

Cofounder Glenn Cybulski, a restaurant-industry vet and certified Italian pizzaiolo from the Bay Area, is a columnist for Pizza Today magazine who regularly hosts demos at the annual International Pizza Expo; he met his partner Joe Baumel at one of the events.

They immediately hit it off, with Miami Beach native Baumel — who had recently graduated from the Culinary Institute of America — pitching his unique fast-casual pizza idea. Cybulski said he was convinced to collaborate when Baumel explained he wanted to understand both the front and back workings of a restaurant.

The pair developed their concept with franchising in mind but said they keep quality and taste as the business’s top priority. “We take our food very seriously,” said Baumel. “When push comes to shove, we’re chefs,” Cybulski explained.

South Florida made sense for their first franchises because of its location and demographics. With a lot of money and an active lifestyle, the community is expected to embrace their light pizzas, Baumel said. Plus, Cybulski summed up, “We can definitely make pizza sexy.”

living | Sports FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: The San Marcos Royals make a grand entrance, ready for their first game of the season against West Ranch.

High School Fall Football The Dons, Chargers, and Royals Hit the Gridiron for Week Zero

by John Zant FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 6:05 P.M.: Attired in their traditional olive green, topped by shiny gold helmets, the Santa Barbara Dons have taken the field at the west end of Peabody Stadium.

It’s an hour before the kickoff of their 2014 football season opener against the Oxnard Yellowjackets. After a flurry of jumping jacks, the Dons run back and forth between the sidelines. Oxnard’s players are warming up at the east end. In their cardinal-and-gold color scheme, they look like USC. Many of them are big enough to be Trojans.

Three area high school teams will open the season at home this evening. It seems early for football — the summer sun still up in the sky — but for several years now, the CIF Southern Section has designated this as week zero in an 11-week regular season. Everybody plays 10 games, and most schools have chosen to schedule early games so they can take a bye later in the season.

It is a season of transition for the Dons. A mid-July shakeup installed J.T. Stone as interim head coach, replacing Doug Caines, who had coached the team for two seasons. It came as a shock to the players, but Stone, who had coached football at many levels but never as a head varsity coach, took firm command of the program.

“We’ve bought in,” said senior lineman Anthony Sandoval. “We have 40-45 players at practice every day. Before, it was 25-30. You sit out a quarter if you’re late. The first day, somebody got cut from the team because he didn’t report and tell the coach. J.T.’s energy is tremendous. He has a loud voice.

There’s no slacking off.”

On the field, the focus will be on quarterback Brent Peus, a 6 3 , 190-pound junior. He is comfortable with Stone, who was a standout passer at Dos Pueblos High and SBCC.“The coaching change was huge for me,” Peus said.“I’ve worked with J.T. off and on since the 6th grade.” During the summer, Stone coached an elite 7-on-7 passing league team with Peus at the controls.

Peus also has taken private lessons from quarterback guru Steve Clarkson. Peus attended the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana and met Peyton Manning. He chose his jersey number (16) because it belonged to Joe Montana.

Peus’s father and three uncles all played tennis in college. Brent Jr. strayed from the family sport because he was

FIELD FOCUS: A mid-July shake-up installed J.T. Stone (center) as the Dons’ interim head coach, replacing Doug Caines.

attracted to the team aspect of football. “I love the bonds,” he said.“Whether you’re up or down, you’re in it together as a team.”

Rap music is blaring out of the speakers as the Dons’ pregame drills continue. Peus warms up his throwing arm, delivering tight spirals to his receivers. Students begin to fill their section of the curved concrete bleachers in Santa Barbara’s 90-year-old stadium.

The concession stands, with members of the girls’ basketball team taking orders, are already up and running. One of the best meals in town is a tri-tip sandwich with salsa at any of the high school stadiums on a Friday night.

7:00 P.M.: Across town in Goleta, the Dos Pueblos High

band has just played the national anthem. There is a long line of fans waiting to enter Scott O’Leary Stadium. They will nearly fill the east stands, from where they will view a brilliant sunset during the first quarter of the game between the DP Chargers and the visiting Pacifica Tritons. The stadium has an out-in-the-country feel, affirmed by signs that declare: “We Are DP … Where We Drive Tractors to School.”

Manny Nwosu launches the 2014 season by kicking off to

Pacifica. When the Tritons line up for the first play, spectators do a double-take at the sight of the quarterback. Adan Salas, listed at 6 2 , and 295 pounds, reminds old-timers of Refrigerator Perry, the part-time running back of the Chicago Bears.

Salas is a full-time QB for Pacifica. He rifles a pass to fleet receiver Deondre Vines, putting the ball in DP territory. He later bulls for a first down at the 17 yard line, but the defense stiffens, and the Chargers take over on downs at their 11.

On DP’s first offensive play, Angel Davison breaks loose on a 54-yard run to the Pacifica 35. Later in the drive, it’s fourth-and-12 at the 25. Senior quarterback Barrett Burnes fires a pass over the middle to Josh Flora, who dives into the end zone for the touchdown.

The Chargers take their 7-0 lead into the second quarter. In the northwest corner of the stadium, a cart selling churros is doing brisk business. Salas appears to have consumed plenty of churros in his day, but now he is burning off calories and trying to burn down the DP defense.

7:50 P.M.: There already has been lots to shout about and a moment of silence at San Marcos High’s Warkentin Stadium. The latter was a solemn tribute to Danny Perez, a much-loved student who had died in a shocking wrong-way accident two nights earlier. A side effect of football games is that they bring the community together for such memorials.

The visiting West Ranch Wildcats lead the Royals, 14-7, in the second quarter. The San Marcos offense got off to a great start, as Inri Cortez scampered 73 yards for a touchdown.

West Ranch scored on two TD passes by Chase Killingsworth.

On the last play of the second quarter, Sam Charest chases down Killingsworth and sacks him — an encouraging end to the first half.

San Marcos’s award-winning band performs one number at halftime, a Radiohead tune featuring five marimbas. Unlike the football team, they do not have to play a full game this early in the year.“Every week the program will get longer,” promises band director Michael Kiyoi.

The teams return to the flawlessly green football field. It is a synthetic turf carpet, the first of its kind in an area high school stadium. (Bishop Diego plays its home games at SBCC, which has a similar turf.)

8:50 P.M.: There is a cool breeze swirling through Peabody Stadium — a hint of fall in the air — and things are not going well for Santa Barbara on the freshly mowed grass. Peus has thrown a couple of interceptions, and Oxnard has ground out a 21-0 lead. Early in the final quarter, Peus throws a beauty of a long pass that goes through the receiver Bolden Brace’s hands to the ground.

“The defense has been hanging tough,” a sideline observer says. But the Dons must be tired because running back Raymond Caldera meets little resistance on a 56-yard run that puts the Yellowjackets up 28-0. Peus connects in the waning minutes on a 21-yard TD strike to Chris Jellison. The final score is 28-6.

Stone is not distressed to take a loss in his first game as a head coach, but he is disappointed the Dons did not play better.“Scott O’Leary [his coach at Dos Pueblos] said,‘Don’t let anybody take your lunch money,’” Stone said. “They took our lunch money, and we didn’t get it back. We had misreads and dropped balls. Still, it was only our first game. We get to play more. We’ve got to lick our wounds and get ready to compete.”

Peus is critical of his own performance. He underthrew the balls that Oxnard picked off. “I overthrew the next two deep balls,” he said, “and I got too antsy with my footwork.” When he finally got into a rhythm, it was too late. Peus expects Brace, a 6 4 junior who also stars for the basketball team, to be a reliable target. “I was pretty much begging him to come out [for football],” Peus said. “He joined the team less than two weeks ago.”

zero. Dos Pueblos gave up three straight scores to Pacifica — two of them on long passes from Salas to Vines — and fell to the Tritons, 20-14. Killingsworth wound up throwing six TD passes as West Ranch throttled San Marcos, 42-14.

San Marcos and Santa Barbara will try to clean up their miscues on Friday night, September 5, when they return to their home fields. The Royals will host the Rio Mesa Spartans, while the Dons play a powerful St. Joseph Knights team from Santa Maria. Dos Pueblos will travel to face the Cabrillo Conquistadores in Lompoc.

Bishop Diego opened its season on the road last Friday and scored a stunning 56-0 victory over Oak Park. Running back Abel Gonzalez (119 yards rushing, two TDs) led the Cardinals against an Oak Park team that had upset them last year. Bishop graduated 23 seniors — the majority of whom had played on teams that went 33-6 over the past three seasons — but Coach Tom Crawford’s team seems to have reloaded with ample talent. The Cardinals will host Santa Fe Christian, a traditionally solid team from Solana Beach, on Friday night at SBCC. The Carpinteria Warriors will play their opener Friday at Santa Ynez.

Tri-tips and hot dogs will be sizzling at all locations.

SBCC FOOTBALL: The Vaqueros, coming off their

best season (7-3) since 1991, have many holes to fill, the usual plight of two-year community-college programs.

They will kick off the season — the 60th in the school’s history — against San Bernardino Saturday, September 6, 4 p.m., at La Playa Stadium.

Coach Craig Moropoulos says the young offensive and defensive lines will face a test against San Bernardino, an 8-3 team last year. Among the candidates to succeed quarterback Jarred Evans (currently No.  on Cincinnati’s depth chart) is Nolan Tisdale, a sophomore from Bishop Diego. A strong stable of running backs includes Cheroke Cunningham, a freshman from Santa Barbara High.

he recently opened Himalayan Kitchen (431 State St.; 882-1000) is a family affair, run by the husband-and-wife team of Diki and Karma Bhote (pictured). Hailing from Chyamtang, a small village in northeast Nepal, Karma immigrated to the U.S. in 2006 to work alongside his childhood friend Chef Karma Tenzing Bhotia of Pasadena’s Tibet Nepal House. They bonded over passion for their ethnic cuisine but even more over their desire to spread Nepalese culture in America.

Recently, they expanded their reach, Bhotia opening a Himalayan Kitchen in Durango, Colorado, and the Bhotes focusing on their new spot on State Street. “The people of Santa Barbara have really embraced our culture and our food,” said Karma. “It’s a great feeling to have community support.”

Comprising traditional dishes from Nepal, India, and Tibet, Himalayan food fuses culture, flavor, and health, avoiding MSG, trans fat, and most gluten. The restaurant’s vegetarian selection includes the Vegetable Sekuwa (veggie skewers marinated in yogurt sauce) and the vegan Kumari Tarkaari, seasonal vegetables pan-fried with onion, tomato, dry chili, and the 12-seed mixture bara masala.

Spices are integral, from black-and-white cardamom to star anise and saffron, many shipped straight from Nepal. Showcasing the region’s unique flavors is the dish Tse Phing, pan-fried mung bean noodless sautéed with mushroom, cabbage, carrot, celery, onion, ginger, garlic, cilantro, star anise, spring onion, zimboo (a wild garlic), and timboor, a special black pepper from Nepal.

Meat lovers must try the yak. The animals graze on the Himalayas’ many medicinal plants, making the meat lean and light, as well as low in fat and cholesterol. Karma recommends the Yaksha Mo-Mo: Tibetan steamed dumplings, stuffed with ground yak and seasoned with onion, garlic, ginger, cilantro, and secret spices, served with momo achar, a common Nepalese dipping sauce.

“Everybody has loved the food so far; the feedback has been wonderful,” said Karma. “Nobody knows tomorrow, but we need to keep the hope that we can introMORE duce our culture to others and FOOD keep people smiling.”

Left Coast: Recent Acquisitions of Contemporary Art: Since it opened its doors in 1941, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art has consistently been dedicated to collecting – contributing to the growth of the permanent collection in significant ways.

Art produced on the West Coast is a major part of this endeavor. Left Coast presents an overview of the Museum’s collecting habit, focusing most heavily on artists living and working in Southern California. Featuring a variety of media, including painting, photography, works on paper and sculpture, many of the works in the exhibition are on view for the first time.

Tying these works together is the pervasive sense of individuality demonstrated in each, adding weight to the justification of the delineation of this side of the country as not just the West Coast, but also, as it’s commonly called, the “Left” Coast.

MICHAEL MOON — NEW WAYS. Within a general exhibition of works by our accomplished gallery artists we present this September — as a special feature — a group of new paintings by Michael Moon. By applying profound layers of paint he builds heavy textured surfaces and explores small formats now side by side with the large canvas sizes he is known for.

Each of the small paintings is mounted on a second, larger canvas. Producing a three-dimensional effect this way, he turns them into wall-sculptures.

F

ormer San Francisco opera singer and longtime cabaret powerhouse Wesla Whitfield will be making a stop at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club on Sunday, September 7, to perform a collection of songs from the Great American Songbook. Whitfield, who started singing at age 7, began her professional life as a vocalist in the mid-1970s. Today, she’s released close to 20 albums, including her most recent, The Best Things in Life: Live from the Rrazz Room, with the Mike Greensill Trio.

Looking back on her decade-spanning career, Whitfield recalled a number of milestones and highlights, including how she first discovered singing. When she was only 2-and-a-half years old, Whitfield found herself in front of her grandparent’s television watching ’50s country crooner Molly Bee. “Once I heard her, I decided that’s what I wanted to do,” said Whitfield in a recent interview with The Santa Barbara Independent. In 1995, she recalled, she experienced one of the greatest moments in her career; after performing a concert at Carnegie Hall, she was demanded back onstage for an encore and a bow. (She’s played the Carnegie

TY SEGALL MANIPULATOR

Double bl meanings i abound b d iin Conviction, C i i the h new play l

by Carey Crim that tells the story of a high school drama teacher accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a young female student while directing her in Romeo and Juliet. The situation is framed from several points of view; all of them COMES TO THE are within the inner circle of the accused. His wife, his son, his best friend, and his best friend’s wife make up the cast we see onstage, and together they try to pick up the pieces of their broken image of the Tom — the good husband and father, great teacher, etc. — that they thought they knew. He maintains his innocence throughout, but to discover whether or not he is convicted of the crime, you’ll have to go see it. And as for what the accusation does to his wife’s conviction that he is a good man, well that’s a different meaning of “conviction” entirely.

This play has undergone an interesting development. When Scott Schwartz, a frequent director at the Rubicon, was approached about directing Crim’s play here, it was with the idea that the same group of actors who had just given it a successful reading in the Rubicon’s Plays-in-Progress program would return to do the show. Schwartz, however, had just accepted a position as artistic director of the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, New York, and was obligated to produce something there in January 2014. Sensing that there might be a wise agreement to be reached here, Schwartz and the Rubicon’s Karyl Lynn Burns crafted this rolling worldpremiere event with two casts, one in Sag Harbor, where the show was a hit and got a very strong review in the New York Times, and one in Ventura, where the original reading had taken place. Although young Daniel Burns will reprise his role as Tom’s son from the production at Bay Street, the rest of the outstanding cast, including Tom Astor as Tom, Elyse Mirto, Joseph Fuqua, and Julie Granata, is drawn from the Rubicon’s deep pool of South Coast talent. Conviction runs now through Sunday, September 28. For tickets and information, call 667-2900 or visit rubicontheatre.com.

ALL THE FAVORITES: Singer Wesla Whitfield brings a career’s worth of history to the SOhO stage this week, where she’ll perform a selection of standards from the Great American Songbook.

stage three times since then.) Thrilling as the experience was, Whitfield said, the one thing in life that gives her a comparable feeling is teaching —“especially when a student takes what I’ve taught them and applies it to their own style and voice.” The ability to take a song and resculpt it to your own musical characteristics is what a true artist does, she explained.

When asked what drew her to music at such an early age, Whitfield answered simply and resolutely: “Music made me feel like life was worth living.” And regarding life, she

offered up some equally affirming advice: “Life is important. Live every last second because you never know what is going to happen around the next corner. Don’t take it too seriously, either — it’s too mysterious.”

Whitfield will be bringing her unique touch to the standards — and her exquisite chops — to SOhO this weekend as part of the Santa Barbara Jazz Society’s ongoing (and stacked) concert calendar. For tickets or info for this, or any Santa Barbara Jazz Society shows, call 687-7123 or visit sbjazz.org.

Ty Segall may only be 27, but he’s already sporting a catalog that eclipses musicians twice, hell, even three times his age. Despite this breakneck release schedule, Segall has, somehow, not yet faltered.

But his projects can often feel like teasers, letting listeners in just enough before moving on to the next. So what happens when a man whose name seems bound to the word “prolific” goes the patientmusician route? Manipulator, out now via Drag City, is the product of an (unprecedented) 14 months of writing, resulting in a sprawling (for Ty) 17-track double LP. Like its stellar predecessors, Sleeper and

Twins, Manipulator plays like a rocking, jangly, distorted, crunching ode to every nook and cranny of ’70s classic rock. It’s also slightly shinier and maybe a bit more hook-y than past Segall outings.

Take “Feel,” a bonafide Segall-style stomper that pairs fuzzy, grinding guitars with that slightly snotty snarl and a handful of bird-like woos and woops. When Segall solos around the three-minute mark, and the requisite crescendo kicks up, you’ll be hard-pressed to stay seated. It’s the ideal payoff after almost a year’s worth of dead air from music’s hardest-working shredder.

O

n November 7, the Arts Fund will honor Tony Askew with a lifetime achievement in the arts award as part of Feast Your Eyes!, its annual fundraising gala. The announcement comes on the heels of other big news from the Arts Fund: Brad Nack will become executive director this fall, with current director Kai Tepper heading up Milpas Street to join the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation. The Arts Fund has been around for more than 30 years, during which its Individual Artist Awards and Teen Mentorship programs have acted as mainstays in our arts scene. But it’s in the last five years, as the rest of the world has caught up with the Arts Fund’s early adoption of a Funk Zone location, that the organization has experienced an unprecedented sense of renewed potential. With consistently packed Second Saturdays and such popular recent shows as Ruckus and Heads Up, the Arts Fund Gallery, with its expansive corner parking lot on Santa Barbara and Yanonali, has become the hub of the Funk Zone’s vibrant street scene. With its newfound centrality, its only fitting that the organization both appoint and celebrate two individuals who act as human hubs of energy and excitement in Santa Barbara’s arts community.

A WAY OF LIFE: TONY ASKEW AS ARTIST AND TEACHER

In 1972, Tony Askew began teaching art at Santa Barbara High School. He remained there for nine years, eventually rising to chair of what was then a five-person department. Askew remembers it as a golden age, saying,“Santa Barbara High in the ’70s was an unbelievably good and positive school. There were no bells and no fences, and what went on there was at the center of the community. It felt like the whole city came out for the football games and the theater productions. It was the high school at that time, full stop.” In the early 1980s, however, the school’s budget was cut, and 60 teachers were let go, with the majority of them coming from the arts.“The program never recovered,” said Askew.

One of Askew’s students at Santa Barbara High was a young Brad Nack, whose father, Ken Nack, taught painting over at Santa Barbara City College. Brad remembers how the dynamic young high school teacher bridged the generation gap between people like his dad, who had served in the air force in World War II, and kids like himself, who were coming of age in the 1970s. “I don’t know if we were using this exact word yet at that point,” Nack recalled, “but we looked on Mr. Askew as a bro”— high praise, indeed, not to mention an interesting insight into what would happen next for Askew.

With Santa Barbara High’s art program in tatters, Askew had to improvise. He approached his friend John Carlander, who was teaching at Westmont College, to see if there might be room to expand the school’s tiny art department. Askew began his distinguished 26-year career at Westmont as an instructor in 1982, and, through a series of efforts that included the establishment of a summer art camp, an arts council, and an on-campus gallery, he rose to become a full professor and leader of the school’s remark-

Gets a New Director, Celebrates a Lifetime Achievement

by Charles Donelan

able ascent as an acknowledged leader in Christian liberal-arts education. Westmont’s beautiful new Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, as well as its outstanding reputation as a training center for all kinds of artists, reflects Askew’s original vision and stand as a testament to his persistence and generosity. The R. Anthony Askew Gallery in Westmont’s Adams Center for the Visual Arts was named for him and serves as the school’s main space for displaying student work.

As an artist, Askew remains rooted in printmaking, but he’s extremely adept in many other media. His assemblage works are among the best that have been made on the West Coast; in part through his example, Santa Barbara has become a recognized center for this delicate craft of discovery, salvage, and juxtaposition. His abstract paintings and many lithographs and etchings reflect the harmony and balance of nature through a sophisticated pictorial sensibility. Each summer, Askew travels to Santa Fe, where he produces most of his work. In fall, he returns home with an abundance of fresh images, as well as a renewed sense of purpose to approaching the classroom.

ART CATS: Westmont professor emeritus Tony Askew (left) and new Arts Fund Executive Director Brad Nack have known each other since Nack took Askew’s drawing class at Santa Barbara High School.

GROWN IN THE ZONE: BRAD NACK AS CURATOR

For Brad Nack, the executive directorship of the Arts Fund comes as both the logical next step in his prolific activities as a curator and as something of a surprise. For the Arts Fund, Nack’s appointment signals a re-centering of the organization’s energies on the core of its original mission, which is to empower artists who live and work in Santa Barbara. Best known for his annual reindeer paintings and events, Nack has had a colorful career, or a series of them, including stints as manager of the popular Santa Barbara rock group Toad the Wet Sprocket and a longstanding gig waiting tables at Roy alongside fellow native Santa Barbaran Spencer Barnitz.

For Nack, the road to becoming the full-time executive director of the Arts Fund was paved by a highly successful collaboration with Michael McColm, the owner of MichaelKate Interiors & Art Gallery, which sits just across the street from the Arts Fund. It was at MichaelKate that Nack began curating large shows featuring artists from all over Southern California, with a particular emphasis on showcasing the talents of those who had come up either through or alongside the educational system in which Askew and Brad’s father had taught.

When asked if he felt the success of the exhibits at MichaelKate had led to his new role with the Arts Fund, Nack said, “Yes, I think this new job did 100 percent come out of the curating I had done at MichaelKate, and here’s what I discovered about that: When you’re an artist and working primarily for yourself, the furthest things can go is the sale. Don’t get me wrong — selling work is great, but when you are by yourself, that’s sort of the end of it. When you begin doing things for other people, like curating shows and putting different artists together in them, you start getting involved in other things. So being in the Funk Zone and curating all these shows caused me to develop connections that, as an individual just out for myself, I might never have made, and that’s how I got to know Catherine Gee [a recent former executive director at the Arts Fund] and Kai Tepper and Crista Dix, and all the other great people who are working together to make the Funk Zone a place for artists.”

The Arts Fund’s Feast Your Eyes! takes place Friday, November 7. For more information, visit artsfundsb.org. Brad Nack is also curating his final show for MichaelKate this month, and the opening party is on Friday, September 12, from 5-8 p.m. at  Santa Barbara Street in the Funk Zone.

BOTTOM’S UP C

onsidered by many to be Shakespeare’s greatest achievement in comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream contains both a play within a play and a dream within its Dream. The play within is the hilariously incompetent and “tediously brief ” scene of Pyra- by Charles Donelan mus and Thisbe, and the dream inside Shakespeare’s Dream belongs to Pyramus and Thisbe’s star performer, a working-class everyman known as Bottom the weaver. In the play’s signature metamorphosis, the fairy Puck changes Bottom’s head to that of a donkey, and it is while he remains in this awkward, part-man, part-ass state that Puck also causes the goddess Titania to fall in love with him. It’s a great setup, as the gorgeous Titania can’t seem to get anywhere with the guy in the horse head — a part which ordinarily went to the troupe’s top funny man. In the words of C. L. Barber’s classic study Shakespeare’s Festive Comedy, “Clownish oblivion to languishing beauty is sure-fire comedy on any vaudeville stage.”

As I was speaking last week with Irwin Appel, the irrepressible UCSB professor of drama and director of such recent triumphs as Bill Cain’s Equivocation and Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it became clear that Bottom’s dream, or more properly his reaction to it, is at the core of this production’s interpretation of the play.

“When he awakens, Bottom has this impulse about what to do about what has happened to him.

He acknowledges that his dream was ‘a most rare vision, past the wit of men to say what dream it was,’ and he reiterates this idea in a series of very funny malapropisms, but then he concludes by saying, ‘I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream; it shall be called Bottom’s Dream because it hath no bottom,’ and it is to me just the most perfect statement of purpose for the play, which is to take the unexplained FROM ON HIGH: Rigo Sanchez plays the god and turn it into theater.”

Oberon in UCSB’s Naked Shakes production of A Taking the unexplained Midsummer Night’s Dream. and turning it into theater may well apply to more about the UCSB Naked Shakes program than just this show, as the goal of the work has consistently been to use the words of the script to go beyond acting as an illusion and move closer to the living presence of Shakespeare’s characters as vehicles for a direct experience of the author’s vision. That’s why you won’t be seeing the kind of elaborate set or costumes that were popular in Victorian versions of the play. Played in the round in UCSB’s Movement Studio, a space even more informal than the traditional “black box” of the school’s Performing Arts Theater, this Dream will draw the audience into the action through flights rhetorical and actual.

Christina McCarthy, UCSB’s resident genius on all things involving dance and movement, has designed hanging silk fabric trapezes on which the actors will “fly.” At the same time, Appel expects nothing less than imaginative flight from every sentence of Shakespeare’s magnificently poetic script.“If an actor invokes an image in the right way,”Appel told me,“he or she and the audience should be able to conjure an entire imaginative world just from hearing those words spoken with intelligence and conviction.” So see this production, in which the poet’s pen will get the help of some outstanding young actors in giving “to airy nothing / A local habitation and a name.”

Jack Johnson. At the Santa Barbara Bowl, Monday, September 1.

Reviewed by Kit Steinkellner

PAUL WELLMAN

COOL-HAND JACK

rue story: When I was a sophomore at Dos Pueblos High School, my Algebra 3/4 class came back from winter break to find we had a new math teacher. When we asked “What happened to Mrs. Johnson?” we were told that “She quit teaching to go tour with her husband.” You’re smart; you can put the pieces together. Mrs. Johnson’s husband was the most famous of Santa Barbara’s Johnsons — the most famous of planet Earth’s John- Jack Johnson sons. He was singer/songwriter Jack. But even after Jack Johnson left Santa Barbara for stardom, he would still swing back around to play a set (at Dos Pueblos’ Greek Theater, no less). Whenever I joined the crowd of hundreds upon hundreds of students and faculty for one of these concerts, I was always struck by how incredibly confident, cool, and collected this man was. I had never seen someone so comfortable onstage, so comfortable with himself.

Eleven years later, at the Santa Barbara Bowl, sitting among 4,500 other patrons, witnessing the final performance of the From Here to Now to You Tour, I was struck by the same thing. Johnson does not behave as though he is a decade-plus-long sensation or a household name. He plays like he just invited some friends over to his backyard for a summer BBQ and jam sesh, and, oh, he just happens to have several thousand friends. Johnson’s music is pumped-up and elevated live, Hawaiian-Californian acoustic surf rock with a bluesy makeover, and it absolutely works with the intensity ratcheted up. His crowd banter is spontaneous, hilarious, peerless. He makes no pretenses about saving his big hits, like “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing” and “Bubble Toes” for final jams or encores — he plays crowd favorites right up top. Johnson is too cool to pretend to be cool, and for about an hour and a half at the very tail end of ■ Labor Day weekend, he let us all feel cool by association. Thanks, Jack.

he size of the crowd drawn by L.A. rapper Tyga last Saturday night at the Earl Warren Showgrounds wasn’t a surprise. Tyga, whose pop-friendly Cash Money Records labelmates include Nicki Minaj and Drake, is an artist very much on the rise, with a résumé already stocked with gold and platinum records. Plus, he’s engaged in a pretty interesting game of Internet hoops with Justin Bieber right now via Instagram.

Tyga’s overtly cocky, -laden “club bangers” are built for mass bro consump- Tyga tion: They’re lyrically vapid, sporting infuriatingly catchy hooks like “Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city, bitch” and “molly, molly, molly.” It would be a mistake to confuse this diagnosis as straightforward negative criticism, though — after all, Tyga didn’t make the rules to music-biz success circa 2014.

That said, the Earl Warren sound system was more than capable of pushing out the bass-heavy lineup of DJ Mustard–produced tracks. And though the heat in the AC-absent room was unbearable at times, various groups of concertgoers would only step outside briefly before sprinting back into the crowd upon hearing the intro to “Loyal” or “Wait for a Minute” (featuring Justin Bieber).

At 10:30, Tyga ended the show rather abruptly, funneling a dozen or so girls picked out of the crowd into his black Mercedes Sprinter. When I asked why the show finished so shortly, one group of fans offered up a succinct answer: “Because he was done. It was an awesome show, though! I love that song “Rack City,’” Then, in unison, the group began to chant,“Rack city, bitch! Rack, rack ■ city, bitch!”

A HOLLYWOOD LOVE STORY

The Last of Robin Hood. Kevin Kline, Dakota Fanning, and Susan Sarandon star in a film written and directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland.

hen it comes to crafting a good Hollywood biopic, more than half the battle is in the casting — and the more famous (or infamous) the subject, the harder it is to get it right. The Last of Robin Hood finds Kevin Kline in the role of notorious mid-century Hollywood lothario Errol Flynn, and the pairing may well go down as one of the smarter choices the genre has seen. As Flynn (depicted here in the months leading up to his death), Kline creates a persona that is at once likable and deplorable, outspoken and introverted, charismatic IN LIKE FLYNN: Starring a perfectly cast Kevin Kline, The Last of Robin Hood follows and strangely approval-seeking.

Two paranormal investigators try to help a rural family that’s being terrorized by a dark presence.

including sexual references, teen drug and alcohol use)

Richard Linklater writes and directs this story about a young boy named Mason as he grows from age 5 to 18. Here’s a sound not made in America enough: existence discussed with a reasoning skeptical voice.

Linklater’s latest is moving but not melodramatic. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo ✯ Calvary (100 mins.; R: sexual references, language, brief strong violence, some drug use)

An amicable priest must battle the darkness after his life is threatened during a confession. Calvary is ostensibly a whois-gonna-do-it mystery, but the themes become more compelling as each new quirky villager is introduced, providing new perspectives on sin, insensitivity, and the almost-forgotten virtue of forgiveness.

(DJP) Plaza de Oro Cantinflas (106 mins.; PG: thematic elements, language, smoking, some suggestive material)

Sebastian del Amo’s historical biography tells the story of Mexico’s most-loved comedy star and how he went from small theaters to the biggest stages in Hollywood.

including sexual references, some graphic nudity, violence, drug use)

Jon (Swingers) Favreau writes, directs, and stars in this story about a chef who loses his restaurant job and starts up a food truck as a way to reunite his estranged family. The film wears its soulful foodiness on its greasy apron; it’s a perfectly delicious, sometimes coarse, and often fine comedy that will leave you hungry at the end. (DJP) Plaza de Oro The Giver (94 mins.; PG-13: mature thematic images, some sci-fi action violence) In a utopian community, one young boy is chosen to learn about the pain and suffering of the real world. Based on the novel by Lois Lowry, The Giver attempts to follow in the footsteps of dystopian blockbusters like The Hunger Games but ends up falling short of its source material. (KS) Metro  ✯ Guardians of the Galaxy (121 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, some language)

Somewhere in deep space, an American pilot finds himself the object of a manhunt after he steals an orb coveted by a villainous extraterrestrial. Mostly, it’s a parade of outer-space spectacles, but the story also includes nonstop action and jokes that transplant American pop culture into deep space. (DJP) Camino Real (D)/Metro  (D)

The Hundred-Foot Journey (122 mins.; PG: thematic elements, some violence, language, brief sensuality)

An Indian family moves to France and opens a café across the street from a Michelin-starred French restaurant.

Journey shies away from high stakes and almost always chooses pleasant over painful, making for a film that isn’t as good as it should have been. (KS) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

✯ If I Stay (106 mins.; PG-13: thematic elements, some sexual material) A young woman falls into a coma following a horrific car accident. Still unconscious, she has an out-of-body experience during which she must decide to move on or face a wholly new life. This is a teen film that dares to suggest that we have no warranty on a happy life. Sadly, its conclusion doesn’t live up to its purpose. (DJP) Camino Real/Fiesta  Le Chef (84 mins.; PG-13: brief strong language)

A talented middle-aged cook worms his way into the heart — and kitchen — of a tired celebrity chef in need of a successor.

This 2012 addition to the world’s growing foodie filmography errs on the side of lighthearted and comes off tasting more sour than sweet. (AC) Plaza de Oro

Two friends dress up like police officers and get dragged into a real-world web of mobsters and corrupt law enforcement.

Camino Real/Fiesta 

Lucy (90 mins.; R: strong violence, disturbing images, sexuality)

Scarlett Johansson stars as a woman who turns on her captors to become a highly evolved killing machine. Luc Besson’s first head film does more than Timothy Leary ever could to make massive drug ingestion seem like a good life plan — and the visuals could hardly have been more spectacular.

Magic in the Moonlight (97 mins.; PG-13: a brief suggestive comment, smoking throughout)

Woody Allen writes and directs this romantic comedy about an Englishman (Colin Firth) hired to help unmask a possible swindle. Most of the first half of this film is about as bad as Woody Allen ever gets when he strikes out. But in the second half, something a bit magical happens. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo/Riviera ✯ A Most Wanted Man (121 mins.; R: language)

A Chechen Muslim illegally immigrates to Hamburg, where he is caught in the middle of the war on terror. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a shining star here, elevating the film, but he’s not the only one; all the women are terrific, too. But it’s Hoffman everybody wants to see more of, a most wanted man who never can surprise us anymore. (DJP) Camino Real The November Man (108 mins.; R: strong violence including a sexual assault, language, sexuality, nudity, brief drug use)

A former CIA agent (Pierce Brosnan) is brought back from retirement and pitted against his former pupil in a deadly case involving the Russian president-elect.

Camino Real/Metro 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (101 mins.; PG-13: sci-fi action violence)

Megan Fox and Will Arnett star in this live-action reboot of the 1980s cartoon about a troupe of martial-arts-practicing, pizza-loving, crime-fighting New York City turtles. Not enough of this Turtles feels new, and too many pieces of this puzzle have been stolen from much better action films. (DJP) Fiesta  (D) When the Game Stands Tall (115 mins.; PG: thematic material, a scene of violence, brief smoking)

Jim Caviezel stars in this true-life tale about legendary high school football coach Bob Ladouceur, who took the De La Salle High Spartans to a record-breaking winning streak in the early 1980s.

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF SEPTEMBER  ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but I’m going to suggest that you monitor the number six. My hypothesis is that six has been trying to grab your attention, perhaps even in askew or inconvenient ways.

Its purpose? To nudge you to tune in to beneficial influences that you have been ignoring. I furthermore suspect that six is angling to show you clues about what is both the cause of your unscratchable itch and the cure for that itch. So lighten up and have fun with this absurd mystery, Aries. Without taking it too seriously, allow six to be your weird little teacher. Let it prick your intuition with quirky notions and outlandish speculations. If nothing comes of it, there will be no harm done. If it leads you to helpful discoveries, hallelujah.

(June 21 - July 22): When James Franco began to learn his craft as an actor, he was young and poor. A gig at McDonald’s paid for his acting lessons and allowed him to earn a living. He also used his time on the job as an opportunity to build his skills as a performer. While serving customers burgers and fries, he practiced speaking to them in a variety of different accents. Now would be an excellent time for you to adopt a similar strategy, Cancerian. Even if you are not doing what you love to do full-time, you can and should take stronger measures to prepare yourself for that day when you will be doing more of what you love to do.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): When my daughter Zoe was 7 years old, she took horseback-riding lessons with a group of other young aspirants. On the third lesson, their instructor assigned them the task of carrying an egg in a spoon that they clasped in their mouths as they sat facing backward on a trotting horse. That seemingly improbable task reminds me of what you’re working on right now, Libra.

Your balancing act isn’t quite as demanding, but it is testing you in ways you’re not accustomed to. My prognosis: You will master what’s required of you faster than the kids at Zoe’s horse camp. Every one of them broke at least eight eggs before succeeding. I suspect that three or four attempts will be enough for you.

LEO

(Apr. 20 - May 20): In English, the rare word trouvaille means a lucky find or an unexpected windfall. In French, trouvaille can refer to the same thing and even more: something interesting or exceptional that is discovered fortuitously, a fun or enlightening blessing that’s generated through the efforts of a vigorous imagination.

Of course, I can’t guarantee that you will experience a trouvaille or two (or even three) in the coming days, Taurus. But the conditions are as ripe as they can be for such a possibility.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): Here are a few of the major companies that got their starts in home garages: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mattel, Amazon, and Disney. Even if you’re not in full support of their business practices, you’ve got to admit that their humble origins didn’t limit their ability to become rich and powerful. As I meditate on the long-term astrological omens, I surmise you are now in a position to launch a project that could follow a similar arc. It would be more modest, of course. I don’t foresee you ultimately becoming an international corporation worth billions of dollars. But the success would be bigger than I think you can imagine.

GEMINI

VIRGO

(May 21 - June 20): The Dutch word epibreren means that even though you are goofing off, you are trying to create the impression that you are hard at work. I wouldn’t be totally opposed to you indulging in some major epibreren in the coming days. More importantly, the cosmos won’t exact any karmic repercussions for it.

I suspect, in fact, that the cosmos is secretly conspiring for you to enjoy more slack and spaciousness than usual.

You’re overdue to recharge your spiritual and emotional batteries, and that will require extra repose and quietude.

If you have to engage in a bit of masquerade to get the ease you need, so be it.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): “I have a hypothesis that everyone is born with the same amount of luck,” says cartoonist Scott Adams.“But luck doesn’t appear to be spread evenly across a person’s life. Some people use up all of their luck early in life. Others start out in bad circumstances and finish strong.” How would you assess your own distribution of luck, Virgo? According to my projections, you are in a phase when luck is flowing stronger and deeper than usual. And I bet it will intensify in the coming weeks. I suggest you use it wisely — which is to say, with flair and aplomb and generosity.

TAURUS

Homework: Make a playful effort to change something you’ve always assumed you could never change. Testify at Truthrooster@gmail.com.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia from 1682 until 1725. Under his rule, his nation became a major empire. He also led a cultural revolution that brought modern European-style ideas and influences to Russia. But for our purposes right now, I want to call attention to one of his other accomplishments: the All-Joking, All-Drunken Synod of Fools and Jesters.

It was a club he organized with his allies to ensure there would always be an abundance of parties for him to enjoy. I don’t think you need alcohol as an essential part of your own efforts to sustain maximum revelry in the coming weeks, Scorpio. But I do suggest you convene a similar brain trust.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): In Roald Dahl’s kids’ story James and the Giant Peach, 501 seagulls are needed to carry the giant peach from a spot near the Azores all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. But physics students at the U.K.’s University of Leicester have determined that such a modest contingent wouldn’t be nearly enough to achieve a successful airlift. By their calculations, there’d have to be a minimum of 2,425,907 seagulls involved. I urge you to consider the possibility that you, too, will require more power than you have estimated to accom-

plish your own magic feat. Certainly not almost 5,000 times more, as in the case of the seagulls. Fifteen percent more should be enough. (P.S. I’m almost positive you can rustle up that extra 15 percent.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): So far, 53 toys have been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame. They include crayons, the jump rope, Mr. Potato Head, the yo-yo, the rubber duckie, and dominoes. My favorite inductee — and the toy that is most symbolically useful to you right now — is the plain old cardboard box. Of all the world’s playthings, it is perhaps the one that requires and activates the most imagination. It can become a fort, a spaceship, a washing machine, a cave, a submarine, and many other exotic things. I think you need to be around influences akin to the cardboard box because they are likely to unleash your dormant creativity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): I’m not opposed to you fighting a good fight. It’s quite possible you would become smarter and stronger by wrangling with a worthy adversary or struggling against a bad influence. The passion you summon to outwit an obstacle could bestow blessings not only on you but on other people, as well. But here’s a big caveat: I hope you will not get embroiled in a showdown with an imaginary foe. I pray that you will refrain from a futile combat with a slippery delusion. Choose your battles carefully, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): During the next six weeks, I suggest you regard symbiosis as one of your key themes.

Be alert for ways you can cultivate more interesting and intense forms of intimacy. Magnetize yourself to the joys of teamwork and collaboration. Which of your skills and talents are most useful to other people? Which are most likely to inspire your allies to offer you their best skills and talents? I suggest you highlight everything about yourself that is most likely to win you love, appreciation, and help.

Wine of the Week Hacienda La Lomita Pagaro Grenache 2011: The emergent wine region of Baja California’s Valle de Guadalupe might be the most exciting scene on the West Coast, and it’s thanks to wines like this, a bold but silky expression of the grenache grape that clocks in at 15.6% alcohol. The hacienda is located in San Antonio de las Minas, a region where people once sought gold but instead found chalky soils northeast of Ensenada, and also produces a number of other wines (a serious syrah-tempranillo-merlot blend, for instance) that are all decorated with an artistically edgy label.

Mexican wines can be hit-and-miss, but this brand’s a keeper. See haciendalalomita.com.mx and winesfrombaja.com.

Taquería El Pastorcito Opens on De la Vina

new Mexican restaurant named Taquería El Pastorcito has opened at  De la Vina Street, the former home of Los Gallos. I spoke with Noe Vargas, son of owner Pedro Vargas, who tells me that his family has a food background from Puebla, Mexico, where the al pastor taco (marinated pork) originated. Noe’s father and grandfather are both chefs. The family has been running El Pastorcito Catering in Santa Barbara for more than five years. All tortillas at the eatery are handmade from scratch, and the Tacos Al Pastor is their signature dish.

Chicken, beef, and vegetarian dishes are also available. It’s open MondaySaturday, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Call 895-2827 or visit facebook.com/TaquisasSB.
