Marie Autumn “Peanut” Smith delighted her mom and dad when she arrived, as her doctors predicted, right on her due date, which less than 5 percent of babies tend to do. She’s obviously inherited her mom’s love of deadlines met (mom Amy is The Indy’s copy chief), as well as her childhood long blonde hair. From dad Mike she got her excellent sleeping skills and calm demeanor; she was peaceful and bright-eyed when she arrived at 11:03 a.m. on Thursday, August 28, at 7 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 inches, making the San Luis Obispo high school sweethearts, married five years this summer, the happiest of families.

SOS Santa Barbara SOS POLICE AND FIRE OPPOSE MEASURE P

Among the most significant opponents of Measure P are the Santa Barbara County Deputy Sheriffs' Association and Santa Barbara County Fire Fighters. According to Adam Estabrook, President of Santa Barbara County Fire Fighters Local 2046: "The County stands to lose vital revenue needed to fund critical government services, including fire protection and law enforcement. Please Vote NO on P."

THE DEPUTY SHERIFFS' ASSOCIATION (DSA) ALSO OPPOSES MEASURE P. Energy operations in Santa Barbara county provide tens of millions of dollars per year for the County of Santa Barbara and other government agencies, including local schools. If Measure P passes, it will lead to the loss of county revenue and cuts in vital services--including police and ﬁre--or tax increases, or both. Paid for by Californians for Energy

Nicolas Holzer (left), the man charged with stabbing his parents and two sons and family dog to death last month, appeared in court for the second time on Tuesday. With a new beard and short head of hair, Holzer, 45, looked indifferent as he stood in custody behind the glass. Public defender Christine Voss asked the judge for the arraignment to be postponed one week while the court determines which department will hear the case. Voss ﬁled for a disqualiﬁcation for Judge Jean Dandona on the matter and does not have to state a reason for doing so. Potentially facing the death penalty, Holzer has been charged with four counts of murder and one count of animal cruelty. He will return to court on September 16. — Kelsey Brugger

Police for Lease?

Council Squints Hard at State Street Rent-a-Cops

BY N I C K W E L S H lans to hire private security cops to patrol State Street with $150,000 in taxpayer money to keep aggressive panhandlers and unruly street people in check failed to get out of the gate during this Tuesday’s meeting of the Santa Barbara City Council. There was widespread agreement, however, that $150,000 could and should be spent on something to protect visitors and residents alike from such inhospitable intrusions. At issue was whether it should be used to hire a new sworn police officer or to augment the ranks of the “Yellow Shirts,” the name given to hourly city outreach workers assigned to interface between business owners, the homeless, and the Police Department’s Restorative Justice homeless program. In the end, councilmembers voted to delay action for 30 days. Councilmember Randy Rowse — reflecting the urgent desires of the Downtown Organization — championed the rent-a-cop idea, though the term “security guide” was used instead. Rowse, former president of the Downtown Organization board, argued that the new security cops would act as the “ears and eyes” of the Santa Barbara Police Department while not usurping any of the enforcement authority of actual police officers. They would not carry mace, batons, or guns but would function, he argued, like a teacher on a schoolyard playground, letting the drunks, the disorderlies, skateboarders, and the mentally ill know that “adult supervision” was present. To the extent 10

these private security officers would be armed at all, he stressed, it would only be with the cell phones they carried. According to the Rowse proposal, City Hall would pay a private security company to dispatch two trained security guards to State Street daily from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m., one on each side of the street. This would allow city cops, he said, to focus on more pressing criminal matters. Not only are city cops more expensive — $150,000 a year with wages and benefits — but, Rowse added, they can be called away from State Street when “the stuff hits the fan” elsewhere. The program, as proposed, would be supervised not by the Police Department but by the city’s Parking District. Similar programs are reportedly operated in Long Beach, Santa Monica, Ventura, and Oxnard, but there were enough differences to give some councilmembers serious pause. Mayor Helene Schneider, for example, expressed concern that the Long Beach and Santa Monica programs were paid for out of business taxes rather than the city’s general fund, as the Rowse proposal would. Likewise, she expressed disappointment there wasn’t a clearer picture of how the programs would actually work. Sergeant Eric Beecher with the Police Officers Association — the union representing city cops — spoke against the proposal, arguing that private security officers could significantly increase the number of calls for service emanating from downtown, thus distracting limited staff resources from where they were needed.

september 11, 2014

Likewise, he argued that inexperienced private security officers could increase City Hall’s legal liability in the event of lawsuit. Councilmembers Gregg Hart and Bendy White — both endorsed in the last election by the police union — both argued against the Rowse plan, but they disagreed on where the money should be spent instead. Hart said a new sworn officer should be hired; White suggested expanding the ranks of the Yellow Shirts. Rowse lamented the Yellow Shirts’ lack of effectiveness and cautioned against expanding their numbers. This tourist season, the Police Department had the street benches — where street people perch — removed from several blocks of State Street. When they were returned, dividers had been inserted in the middle of the benches, preventing their occupants from sprawling out. Likewise, the street sculpture in front of the Habit on the  block of State Street — a roost popular with “young urban travelers”— was fenced off for repairs that have yet to take place. During this year’s budget deliberations, the council approved funding for a new cop on the condition the position be dedicated to State Street patrol. That’s new. In addition, the number of officers out on injury or other reasons was reduced dramatically, and more attention was spent on State Street. This week, police beat coordinator Kasi Beutel triumphantly notified the Downtown Organization that tickets for skateboarding on State Street were now $150.

To veteran winemaker Bruno D’Alfonso, the screams exploding from the neighboring winery were eerily familiar, reminiscent of a long-ago sailing trip when the first mate’s hand was crushed between the anchor chain and winch. Chris Bratcher, who makes his eponymously labeled wine at Arcadian Winery in the Sta. Rita Hills, lost his hand to the crusher-destemmer he’d been cleaning on 9/2. D’Alfonso told his bookkeeper to call 9-1-1, spun a nearby tablecloth into a tourniquet, and surrounded Bratcher’s wound with ice. Eventually, a helicopter whisked him to Santa Barbara’s Cottage Hospital. Though D’Alfonso found Bratcher’s hand, it was clearly too late to be reattached. “This is life-changing,” said D’Alfonso. “If he intends on continuing with this harvest, we will take care of his stuff.” An 18-year-old man suffered head and chest injuries 9/6 after a 100- to 200-pound boulder struck him during a partial cave-in at More Mesa east of Austin Road. Four UCSB students — including the injured man, whose name and condition aren’t being released — were in the cave when a section detached overhead. Firefighters used ropes and a hard stretcher to rescue the student, which took about 30 minutes; he was taken to Cottage Hospital. Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kelly Hoover said this incident marked the third cave-in in 10 years. In a lawsuit filed 8/28, Santa Barbara contractor Katz-Moses and Calles Construction alleges that San Francisco–based Build Group owes the company more than $55,000 in unpaid labor and materials on the Alma del Pueblo project. The filing comes after a few failed rounds of negotiation, said Katz-Moses attorney Bart Merrill, noting a number of other Santa Barbara–area companies have also not been paid for their work and are considering their own lawsuits. For his part, Jonathan Katz-Moses said, “It’s disappointing that such a landmark project … was awarded to so many out-of-town contractors, and the few local people who were chosen have to fight for their money.” PAU L WE LLM A N

Caltrans officials reported that between July 2002 and 2012, nine people were killed and 64 injured in wrong-way collisions that occurred on state highways in Santa Barbara County. Of those collisions, 37 occurred on Highway 101. According to Caltrans spokesperson Jim Shivers, 58.7 percent of these wrong-way collisions involved drivers operating their vehicle under the influence, and 80 percent took place after dark. Shivers said Caltrans explored the possibility of installing directional spike strips on freeway on-ramps but decided against it. Spike strips are effective in deflating only slow-moving vehicles, and engineers concluded that the sight of spike strips could cause motorists traveling the right way to slam on their brakes in response to an apparent obstacle on the road.

CITY About 20 workers active with the Service Employees International Union Local 620 marched in a loop in front of City Hall, chanting slogans over a megaphone that pierced the council deliberations taking place within. At issue was the 11 months of negotiations between the city and union members working wastewater treatment, the water department, the waterfront, and Harbor Patrol. Union members said the 4 percent pay hike that’s been offered over the next two years pales in comparison to the wage increases offered to other bargaining units, especially police officers and firefighters. In addition, workers on the picket line complained that their out-of-pocket expenses for health care

had increased dramatically — to $900 a month — in recent years. Several union activists spoke at the council meeting, as well, warning that skilled safety personnel might be forced to leave town to make ends meet. Approximately 2,000 people — including nearly 300 breast cancer survivors and almost as many men — walked 26.2 miles throughout Santa Barbara last weekend in the 12th annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, raising $4.6 million toward research, screening measures, and public outreach. The two-day event, which started at Chase Palm Park on Saturday and ended with a closing ceremony at Carpinteria State Beach on Sunday, was one of eight Avon walks planned across the country. Some of the money raised was donated to the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara ($100,000) and the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara ($25,000).

COUNTY Water-intensive crops grown in the Cuyama Valley are depleting the region’s groundwater supplies, and the associated pumping could be causing the ground to sink, according to a study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and the county’s Public Works department and presented to county supervisors this week. The study analyzed water use between 1949 and 2010 and made future projections, but how the county will use the information hinges on how two bills in the State Legislature shake out; SB 1168 and AB 1739 would force regional jurisdictions to play a bigger role in groundwaterpumping oversight. Adjudicating the water in the valley could be an option, as could mandating the farming of less water-reliant crops. Calling it a “win, win, win” for the county and his district, Supervisor Salud cont’d page 12

Anti-Vaxxers on the Rise

The number of parents who decide not to have their children vaccinated has crept up over the years in Santa Barbara County. Though the percentage of kindergarteners who are fully vaccinated teeters just above the threshold required for “herd immunity” to be effective, pockets throughout the area have higher exemption rates, which could be problematic as an epidemic of whooping cough pervades California. In the entire county, the percent of kindergarteners who are not immunized for “personal belief” reasons has risen from 2.9 percent in 2011 to 4.7 percent in 2013. Notably, 27.4 percent of students at Montecito Union School waived the shots last year, according to state records. Private schools tend to have fewer children vaccinated, such as El Montecito School, where 41.7 percent of students filed exemptions. California mandates children be vaccinated at the child-care, kindergarten, and 7th-grade level for a number of infectious diseases including pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, and others, but parents can opt out for religious or personal-belief reasons. New state law effective in January requires parents to receive information about such diseases and the benefits and risks of vaccinations. An epidemic of whooping cough is currently occurring in the county. There have been 81 cases of whooping cough so far this year compared to 28 cases in the same time frame last year, according to Adriana Almaguer, the immunization program administrator for Public Health. Cases across the state have also tripled, and there are now close to 8,000 cases. An uptick of whooping cough occurs every two to five years, Almaguer said. It’s possible for someone to be diagnosed with the disease even if he or she has been immunized. At Washington, Monroe, and Roosevelt elementary schools, about 16 percent of the students opted out for personal reasons last school year. Conversely, at McKinley, Harding, and Franklin elementary schools, between zero and 2 percent of kindergarteners opted out. For years, fears that vaccines caused autism deterred parents from immunizing their children. Though experts say that theory has been disproved, school officials say the belief persists. A number of people don’t believe immunizations should be regulated, said Liz Christen, head nurse of Santa Barbara Unified School District. “I don’t publicize that there is an opt out,” she added, “but there’s always one person in the group that — Kelsey Brugger knows about it.”

BLUE IN THE FACE: Top Measure P supporters including Das Williams (front row, third from left) and Hannah-Beth Jackson (front, fourth from left) gathered at the courthouse to call out a “systematic campaign of deception” run by the oil industry.

BY LY Z H O F F M A N

County Planning Commission meeting last week over exemptions to Measure P made for a media blitz Monday, with camps on both sides of the proposed drilling ban accusing the other of lying about how the proposed drilling ban could affect the county. From the steps of the county courthouse, blue-clad supporters reiterated their assertions that only new fracking, acidizing, and cyclic-steaming projects — not existing operations — would feel the effects. Shortly after, flanked by green yard signs and T-shirts at their upper State Street headquarters, a smaller “No” team repeated fears about what the ban would mean for their near- and long-term futures and for the entities that would no longer reap the oil industry’s financial benefits. The final framework for handling claims of vested rights and takings will be up to the Board of Supervisors next month, but the Planning Commission voted in favor of protocols suggested by the Planning Department over the summer. Barring any changes they make themselves, the supervisors would have the ultimate authority over takings cases, which oil companies would have to submit in tandem with applications for development projects; the commission suggested it have the first crack at those claims. Vested-rights cases — which have drawn the most allegations of lie-spewing from both sides — would be under the planning director’s purview but appealable to the commission and board. Industry officials have stated the protocols — which they said presuppose the measure’s passage on November 4 — do nothing to reassure them their current wells won’t get shut down and thus do nothing to stop them from suing the county on November 5. At a supervisors meeting in July, County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni said Measure P’s possible victory has seen his office preparing for the county’s largest litigation exposure but that the protocols could stanch some lawsuits. Last week, Deputy County Counsel Bill Dillon

looked to further offset an onslaught, saying companies that feel secure in their operations’ vested rights — meaning significant work with a permit or work undertaken prior to a zoning restriction — wouldn’t be forced to go through the county and could continue operating. County planners piggybacked on that, saying projects would only be investigated if complaints were made. But oil companies’ eyebrows have peaked because the phrase “existing operations” isn’t found in the measure’s exemptions section; lawyers for the “Yes” side have explained that “vested rights” is the legalese equivalent. Because of that word choice, industry representatives maintain, obtaining permits for pre-P wells in the future could prove impossible;“Yes” attorneys reply that as long as the permit is for a vested activity previously allowed, the well can move forward. How maintenance techniques would be interpreted under the law remains fuzzy. Energy Division head Kevin Drude has said that each of the county’s 1,200 oil wells “at some point in its lifetime” will require acidizing for either minor stiumulation or buildup removal. State Assemblymember Das Williams and State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson headlined Monday’s “Yes” conference, joining several other electeds. Jackson called it “sort of frustrating” that they felt compelled to have the conference in the first place and hinted that the measure’s implementation would pave the way for more alternative-energy projects. “Let’s stack up credibility here,” said Williams, pointing to the Platform A blowout in 1969 and Greka spills. Santa Barbara School Boardmember Monique Limón questioned the extent to which the industry’s $12.7 million annual property-tax contribution to the county’s schools is of benefit, saying “our schools would be in a much healthier place” if that were the case. Uptown, former sheriff Jim Thomas pointed to Auditor-Controller Bob Geis’s fiscal assessment of Measure P, which noted the $20.3 million in property taxes paid cont’d page 14

Uncorking Goleta Oil Field?

Venoco Inc.’s proposal to restart oil production off of the Ellwood coast near Sandpiper Golf Club returns for yet another review next Monday, when the State Lands Commission comes to Goleta City Hall to accept public comments on the updated environmental impact report. The commission was set to vote in April on whether to allow the Carpinteria-based oil company to carry forth with the project, which may reduce potentially dangerous pressure some believe is building in the historic oil field, would not involve fracking, and would result in the removal of one of the two existing piers. But the commissioners heeded the concerns of the City of Goleta and a coalition of environmental groups, instead requesting that State Lands staff further study the issue of repressurization while also analyzing the alternative of processing the oil at a Las Flores Canyon facility up the coast rather than at the nearby Ellwood Onshore Facility (EOF). Venoco and State Lands both believe the company has a vested right to process the oil. Though the repressurization remains a big unknown until the well is actually opened again, Goleta City Attorney Tim Giles is happier with the new EIR. “Our hope and our expectation, now that they have the alternative of processing at Las Flores Canyon, is that the commission will take a more serious look at that,” said Giles, explaining that the city’s desire is to one day shut down the EOF — which is zoned as a nonconforming use, destined for recreational purposes — and not increase the amount of oil being processed there. “Processing at Las Flores is more consistent and appropriate with our long-term vision.” In fact, back in the late 1990s, Santa Barbara County voters approved Las Flores as the only spot for future oil processing on the South Coast, though the Revised PRC 421 Recommissioning Project, as it’s known, is not expected to actually extend the life or exceed the allowed capacity of the EOF. Since the piers and oil field are in state waters, the commission retains the final decision on whether to allow the project to proceed, but the City of Goleta and Coastal Commission do have some leverage on issuing pipeline permits and other minor matters. However, if State Lands approves and the city blocks a pipeline, Venoco would — Matt Kettmann likely have the option of resuming oil production on the pier itself.

Measure S cont’d from p. 13 classrooms for expansion, so there is no correlation between the bond and housing issues on the South Coast.” According to Ebenstein, the percentage of Hispanic students who live in the community has gone up significantly in past decades. Between 2008-2012, the percentage of Hispanic students in the credit division increased from 28 to 33 percent, according to school records. On a recent tour of some of the deteriorating buildings, some rotting with water damage and in violation of code, Gaskin stressed that the bond measure would not grow or expand the school, but it would modernize many of the campus’s “beautiful bones.” The first building to be replaced would be a $30 million campus center. The state will kick in $20 million for the project because the money was already allocated from the last state bond. Governor Jerry Brown recently came out against a state school facilities bond, and 10 community colleges are asking their districts for money this November; the average asking amount is about $229 million. The Republican Party for Santa Barbara County took a position against Measure S, but it voted to support a $90 million bond for the Carpinteria School District. Members of the chapter GOP — who also heard from college officials — expressed concerns that the bond is too expensive and that the professors and employees are overpaid. Chapter chair Gregory Gandrud said he believes college students, instead of taxpayers, should pay for higher education.“Put students in the driver’s seat,” he said. 14

Party politics aside, a “No on S” committee has continuously stressed the number of out-of-district residents who flock to the area to attend what was named the number one community college in the nation by the Aspen Institute. (It is important to note state law requires community colleges to admit all California residents.) The committee is made up of nine naysayers who say they are working with several organizations. Spearheaded by talk-show host Ernie Salomon, who is known for letting loose on the public access channel, the group takes issue with oversight of the last round of bond projects. Salomon argues $288 million is too much and could grow to be even more depending on future interest rates. Democratic Party chapter chair Daraka Larimore-Hall specified that the chapter does not share the nativist view that is held by bond opponents who criticize the influx of out-of-area students. “We don’t have that archaic, nativist view as to what a committee college is for.” He added that representatives from the city and Coastal Commission are also involved in the housing issue and that the party plans to work with the college to tackle the housing issue in the future. The Democrats did decide to take a position on the college’s sixth district — which represents Isla Visa and part of Hope Ranch — and endorse Jonathan Abboud, former UCSB Associated Students president and Isla Vista resident active in efforts to bring a voice to Isla Vista.

Beneath the Valley of the Dogs

DROUGHT WATCH: The Bad News is that unless

the skies open up with a huge deluge sometime soon, Lake Cachuma — the chief water source for 200,000 South Coast residents — will be functionally dry next October. The Good News is that we now have someone to blame for all this. The Fish. Naturally. This revelation emerged during a lengthy drought-themed finger-point-a-thon hosted this Tuesday by the County Supervisors. It turns out that the few remaining native wild steelhead trout in the Santa Ynez River have been conspiring to get revenge on the humans making them nearly extinct. Apparently, they’ve been drinking all our water. To listen to Supervisor Peter Adam and Andy Caldwell — the impressively opinionated Outside Agitator from Nipomo — we’d be doing fine if we weren’t forced to piss away massive gobs of water down a short, scrawny stretch of Hilton Creek to keep a remnant population in the comfort to which they’d like to be accustomed. Adam charged that dam operators release 10 acre-feet of water a day to keep 300 wannabe steelhead (they don’t become bona fide until they reach the ocean) alive. That’s 100 million gallons of H2O a month for fish, most of whom aren’t big enough to cover even a saltine cracker. To keep these fish alive, Adam calculated, the rest of us — 200,000 sweaty, hardworking, tax-paying Homo sapiens — would need to take showers no more than 30 seconds long. And that, he said, was not a dotted line he was willing to sign.

Not meaning to quibble, there would have been 400 more steelhead in Hilton Creek had the water pumps owned, operated, and maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation not failed 11 times in the past 14 months, effectively giving an illegally large number of endangered fish a lethal mud bath. It’s also worth noting the amount of water released to keep the fish on life support is one-third the amount that evaporates off Lake Cachuma every day. If you want to fly by the seat of your pants, you need be able to find your ass with at least one hand. Based on Tuesday’s proceedings, we can’t. We still don’t know, for example, how low Lake Cachuma must go before we can legally stop providing for the steelhead. Under one scenario, it’s 30,000 acre-feet. We’re there right now. Under another, it’s twice that. It turns out that we also don’t know what we do when we get there. If I heard Michael Jackson of the Bureau of Reclamation’s Fresno headquarters right, that’s when affected stakeholders need to start talking about what’s next. For once, Outside Agitator Caldwell got it right. “We don’t have a plan,” he complained. “We have a prayer.” Yes, but to which God? Supervisor Salud Carbajal — apparently an atheist — freaked out that we weren’t freaking out more. “If this is a crisis, we need to act more like it’s a crisis,” he exclaimed perhaps as often as 23 times. Santa Barbara water managers plan for droughts every five years. Our current drought delivered seven years of parched pain in year three. It’s not supposed to happen. It did. We’re

finally getting it. Last month, we managed to suck 1,000 acre-feet less out of Lake Cachuma than we did this time the previous two years. Tuesday night, the Goleta Water District finally declared a drought emergency, closing the door to any new water hookups. Santa Barbara city residents cut back consumption by 25 percent last month, Carpinterians by 26 percent, and Montecitans by 50. The Montecito numbers deserve a giant asterisk, as its residents have responded by becoming water vampires. Montecito’s shimmering emerald lawns have spawned a lucrative cottage industry of water truck trafficking — 10 cents a gallon for delivery — with much of the water being pumped by private well owners in Carpinteria. This practice hasn’t put a dent in Carpinteria’s substantial underground water basin — at least yet — but it’s generated tons of truck traffic on some scenic, narrow roads. It’s hard to exhort the masses to cut back water consumption when others are getting rich selling the very water they’re supposed to stop using. Carp water czar Charles Hamilton told me he just found out the practice is, in fact, illegal and that he put three water truckers on notice. One, he said, agreed to quit. Another told me he was cutting back to all but a trickle, while questioning why it’s okay for South Coast water districts to buy water from Sacramento rice farmers, but when he sells, he’s the villain. The Goleta Water District is going to start selling “recycled water”— from Toilet to Tap — produced by the Goleta Sanitary District. I’d suggest our state reps in Sacramento

lobby the powers that be to get the waivers needed so Goleta could sell this product to the water truckers serving Montecito. It sure beats using potable well water, and no one has to be a villain. In the meantime, the state legislature passed three bills that would — for the ﬁrst time — regulate the state’s groundwater basins. It’s groundbreaking, earth shattering, and historic. But right now, it won’t do squat. Nothing has to happen until 2020. But Outside Agitator Caldwell managed to disprove there’s no such thing as a stupid question. This Tuesday, he asked, “Are we really so clueless that the state has to come in and tell them [the water agencies],‘You’re in overdraft’?” The answer is yes. Organic carrot companies are strip-mining the underground oceans of water in the Cuyama Valley, taking out 26,000 acre-feet a year — twice the City of Santa Barbara annual consumption and more than is recharged. Likewise, the water basins serving customers in Lompoc, Santa Ynez, and Los Alamos are out of balance, though hardly as spectacularly as Nuke-Yo-Mamma’s. When Caldwell said, “We don’t have a plan; we have a prayer,” he could have been talking about our collective response to the drought. The time to start applying the brakes, we should have already understood, is not when you’re halfway through the red light. To relearn some lessons, you must ﬁrst survive. To that end, hug your inner steelhead. And pray for rain. — Nick Welsh

Hazel Margaret Bilton Lyon (Farrell) // – //

It is with deep sadness that we announce Hazel Margaret Lyon (Farrell) peacefully ended her wonderful life’s journey on September , , surrounded by her adoring children, grandchildren and her faithful caregivers. Hazey Bilton was born on July ,  in Maudsley, England, to Percy and Edna Bilton. Hazey was a darling little girl and the apple of her parents’ eye. The family travelled from England to Canada where they all fished, sailed, swam the oceans, camped and hiked the Rockies. The family lived in Pasadena where Hazey attended Westridge and Poly Tech until the war. Under the cover of darkness they sailed back to England where Hazey was a conscripted volunteer civilian in the Royal Admiralty. During wartime England, she met, married and deeply loved her husband of  years, George Ray Lyon Jr., who at the time was the youngest captain in the United States Army. They were married in Pasadena in , and the young couple then ventured forth to Johannesburg, South Africa. Their eldest son Christopher Johns was born in , and their only daughter Candy (Carol-Anne) was born in . The young couple’s dream of becoming wine farmers was realized when they moved to Stellenbosch, Cape Province, and bought their beautiful farm, Groen Rivier, on the spectacular Heldeburg Mountain in . Hazey and George threw their heart and soul into viticulture and growing the fantastic red wine grapes for which the region is known. George travelled to Israel and around the world looking for cutting-edge irrigation and growing methods to maximize production. It was on the farm that they welcomed their youngest son Jonathan Bilton in .

After many happy years on the farm, the Lyons left their beloved Stellenbosch community and church in Cape Town for George’s homeland, the US. George, Hazey and Jon travelled the country and ultimately chose Santa Barbara as their new home. They enrolled Jon in Laguna Blanca School, purchased their home in Hope Ranch and became members of the Santa Barbara Christadelphian church. George and Hazey spent the next joyful decade living half the year in Monaco and sailing the Mediterranean on their boat Chesapeake. It was on the boat that their young son, Jon, began his lifelong love of sailing and his passion for the sea. In the summers, Chris, Candy and their friends joined them along the Cote d’Azure, Italian Riviera and Greece. George’s greatest delight was to see Hazey at the helm singing her heart out! After a wonderful -year marriage, George succumbed to lung cancer in . Years later, Hazey was blessed to find love again when her close friends Dick and Millie MacMillan invited her on a cruise where she met and then married the lovely Dr. Bill Farrell in . The two had a lovely journey of deep love, fun, companionship and adventure late in life that took them all over the US, South Africa, England, Australia, South America and China. After many adventures over thirteen fabulous years, Hazey lost her beloved Bill. The last two decades of her life, Hazey thoroughly enjoyed building the Canzelle Alpaca business with her daughter Candy, travelling, taking her children and grandchildren on family reunions to South Africa, Hawaii, Australia and going on ski trips. Hazey’s great joy was to entertain family, friends and church members from around the world in her beautiful home and garden that she shared with her beloved dogs, cats and birds. Her guest house always had to be well stocked with fresh food and flowers from the garden and a lovely dinner all ready for her guests! She loved taking family and friends to La Cumbre Country Club for Friday night dinners and Sunday brunches. Hazey was the beloved wife of two men who adored her, the most loved and dedicated mother, grandmother and staunch advocate for all her children, and grandchildren. The recent addition of her two great-grandbabies was a source of great delight. Hazey’s joie de vive, unwavering faith and boundless love inspired, encouraged and supported all her children and grandchildren, to follow their dreams, work hard and “Let Go and Let God.” Hazey lived a rich, blessed life which also had its share of troubles and sadness, the greatest being the loss of Chris, her eldest son who filled her heart with love and laughter. Hazey was an excellent listener, a

wise councilor and had boundless empathy for people. Her red address book and Bible by her bed, she would spend many mornings calling family and friends around the world that needed a friend. Hazey was deeply devoted to God, a generous and gracious giver and faithfully attended the Christadelphian church for  years. The ever-present twinkle in her lovely blue eyes, her incredible spirit and her love of life will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Hazel is survived by Carol-Anne Lonson (Candy), Jonathan and Karen Lyon, Kitty Lyon, her seven grandchildren, Ashleigh and Dan Chu, Michael Lonson, Bradley Lonson, CJ Lyon, Angela Lyon, Megan Lyon and Jessica Lyon, two great-grandchildren, Evan and Graham Chu her German Shepherd, Lady and her beloved Maltese, Nidley.

Eugene Thomas Wesolowski – “Ski” Beloved husband, father, son, brother, neighbor, co-worker, lifelong patron of Harry’s and quiet devoted Catholic passed peacefully in his home in Santa Barbara on September . Born in Chicago, IL, on April , , to Thomas and Helen, Ski was first introduced to Santa Barbara by Uncle Sam in . During his entire WWII enlistment, he was fortunate to be stationed at the Marine base that is now home to the airport and UCSB. Ski’s wife Florence fell in love with Santa Barbara during WWII and in , she convinced him to take a “vacation” back to Santa Barbara. Leaving Chicago with a car, two suitcases and a dog they never looked back. Working various odd jobs, Ski and Florence did whatever they could to make their dream of building a home and raising a family a reality. Tom, Carol and Rob were blessed to grow up in Santa Barbara enjoying many road trip vacations, Sunday dinners, BBQ’s and pool time with the neighborhood kids. Ski worked for GTE for  years well known among his peers and the town for his positive, humorous and kind personality. He was a member of San Roque parish for over  years, the Knights of Columbus for over  years, and served on many local organizations with his time, energy, infections laugh, and love of life. Ski was married to the love of his life Florence for a fortunate  years. They shared many wonderful memories and traveled abroad (Europe

– especially Poland, Taiwan, and Mexico). They also kept sacred their Friday night date nights, enjoying many of Santa Barbara’s local restaurants followed by dancing. Ski’s adult kids recall waiting over an hour at church or Harry’s while he connected with friends and acquaintances. He was larger than life and the kind of man some of us watched growing up with “Father Knows Best” or “Leave It to Beaver”. Ski considered himself a very lucky man and acknowledged this fact almost daily. Ski is preceded in death by his loving wife Florence and sister Lillian. Ski, Pops, Daddy-O, American Dad will be deeply missed and always loved by his family Tom (Kathy), Carol (Carone), and Rob (Michele).

’80s Revisited

y wife, Barbara, and I are truly humbled that the Arts Fund has named us Honorary Chairs for Feast Your Eyes! In response to last week’s “Brad Nack, Tony Askew, and the Arts Fund” article [independent.com/a&e] that celebrates the Arts Fund and my receipt of its Lifetime Achievement Award, I would like to clarify some history that may not have been presented clearly. It is important to me that I take a minute to praise the Santa Barbara High School Art Department. In the early 1980s, the Santa Barbara Secondary School District faced a decline in enrollment and had ﬁnancial need to release 60 teachers. These cuts were made primarily in art and music and based on faculty seniority. Most of these teachers were not rehired in our district. At that time, I was cut from my position at Santa Barbara High. I was left to improvise — but the department continued to thrive. The art faculty at Santa Barbara High continued to be strong, creative, and vibrant. The high quality of instruction in the arts based on strong faculty commitment and dedication has remained strong and is ever present. The Visual Arts & Design Academy was established on campus in 1999; its unique curriculum focus serves about 175 students. The Multimedia, Arts and Design program is also thriving at Santa Barbara High School. I feel blessed to have worked for Santa Barbara High School, Westmont College, and currently the Center for Lifelong Learning. The Arts Fund award and our participation in Feast Your Eyes! is — Tony Askew, S.B. yet another blessing from our community.

Harder Martyr

s an AYSO coach for the past seven years, I think the community needs to know UCSB is charging $5 per day for parking so youth soccer teams and their fans can play or watch games on the fields opposite Harder Stadium. Santa Barbara and Goleta tax-paying citizens (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends who come to watch) are being charged for a onehour game on an open field that would not be used otherwise. UCSB already charges AYSO as a region to use the fields; why the parking charge on top of it? This kind of enforcement does not leave a good taste in one’s mouth when thinking of supporting UCSB or its soccer program.

The AYSO younger teams play at Girsh Park at no charge to park. Where is the love and support for the youth and residents in this community that fuel UCSB’s programs and school? Stop the parking charge. —Hattie Bermudes, S.B.

No Parking, No Water

hen the drought has caused a water shortage so severe that the city is unable to keep the historic stone pines alive on Anapamu Street [independent.com/pines], it seems reckless to even consider the addition of a new hotel and more housing in the Funk Zone, no matter how innovative the design [independent .com/dipaola]. Once we have solved our water

Sustainable Heart

shortage and introduced a requirement for grey water irrigation, maybe then the Planning Commission can more responsibly consider options for the Funk Zone. Even now there is insuﬃcient parking for all the new wine bars and restaurants that have opened in the last two years. — F.H. Perkins, S.B.

Trash: A New Commodity

s the county deputy director of Public Works in charge of waste management, I want to thank The Independent for covering the proposed Tajiguas Resource Recovery Project [“Trashy Summer Reading,” independent .com/trashy]. Having public participation in the development of important local projects is crucial. Before we released the project’s draft environmental report, we held over 125 public meetings in order to develop a proposed project that would reflect the community’s environmental values. This Draft Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) is a culmination of numerous technical studies on the effects of the changes we are proposing in managing our waste at Tajiguas. Right now, we are seeking additional feedback on the adequacy of the analysis offered in the Draft SEIR. The Draft SEIR is available at the Project website (ResourceRecoveryProject.com), and Public Works is accepting public comment until September 24 (submission details are online). This proposed project primarily consists of two facilities: first, a materials recovery facility that would process the waste currently delivered to the landfill, pulling out recyclables and organic material such as food and yard waste;

second, an anaerobic digestion facility that would convert organic waste into electricity, compost, and other soil amendments. This project goes beyond providing a longterm solution for managing our community’s waste by raising our recycling rate well above 80 percent. It also reduces greenhouse-gas emissions to the equivalent of taking more than 24,000 cars oﬀ the road annually, and generates enough green energy to power 1,000 homes in our community. We hope that this project creates community interest as it has many environmental beneﬁts. — Mark Schleich, Deputy Director, County Public Works

Oil Foil

s former sheriff (1990-2002) and county fire chief (1993-1996), I have a keen interest in the result for Measure P this coming November. While I have strong views about the history and safety of oil production in this county, I am especially concerned about the potential loss of public safety funding should this measure pass. According to county planners and County Counsel, the potential loss of significant funding to schools, fire protection district, and county general fund is very real. Currently, North County schools receive over $12 million annually. The county fire protection district receives over $4 million, and the county general fund receives almost $3 million, of which approximately 60 percent goes to public safety. The loss of these property taxes from existing oil production would be devastating. Proponents of Measure P argue that existing oil production will continue, but that’s not true.

Skin Deep Salon Welcomes...

letters cont’d County planners confirm that once current wells or facilities require a permit for construction or maintenance, the permit will be denied, and proven and safe methods necessary to continue production will not be allowed because of Measure P. That is not “fracking” even though the proponents would like you to believe that. I believe Measure P is an overreach and is disingenuous in its focus on a drilling technique that has already been addressed in Santa Barbara County by ordinance in 2011. There is one certainty — should Measure P pass, there will be a significant loss of funding to North County schools, the fire protection district, and other public safety funding, not to mention the loss of good jobs for hard-working families. That’s just not acceptable. — Jim Thomas, S.B.

•••

wonder if the oil company spokespeople understand Santa Barbarans’ grave concern about thousands of oil wells in our county. They seem to assume that we only care about the amount of money they claim ﬂows all over and around oil operations. How much money will it take to bring water to this county when the oil companies have taken millions of gallons out of our supply? They attempt to mislead us about the high-paying jobs, either by claiming that they will disappear if Measure P is passed or by declaring they will go to local workers if Measure P is defeated. Both statements are factually bogus. Current oil operations and jobs will not be aﬀected by Measure P. Also, in every other community overtaken by oil-drilling operations, about 80 percent of the laborers are nonlocal, temporary workers (see the March 2013 National Geographic about Williston, North Dakota, and its “man camps” of oil workers). I also doubt oil company claims about what a boon these wells will be. A Beijing oil company just purchased ERG Energy, and I doubt China Gold Leaf cares one whit about the people of this county. When I consider what our county will look like with thousands of oil drilling operations, I don’t just see the wells; I see monster trucks driving through all the towns between the wells and the highways. Check National Geographic for photos of what Williston deals with daily.

After 24 years here, I have some understanding of what makes this a place renowned for its natural beauty, peaceful lifestyle, and decades-long commitment to protecting what we are fortunate to have. I plan to honor that commitment by voting yes on Measure P. — Sarah Hearon, S.B.

Bike and Car Tally

eople submitted emails to me regarding street improvements vis-à-vis bikes and cars, in response to my queries in local media, including The Santa Barbara Independent [independent.com/hotchkiss]. The ﬁnal numbers are: Make our streets “work” for both bikes and cars — 30 Make our streets better for bikes, including reducing car parking and lanes if necessary — 55 Do not reduce car parking and lanes — 145 Almost universally, people want to make bike riding safer if possible. I agree and believe we can “have our cake and eat it, too” by improving some existing bike “thoroughfares” with physical separation from cars while not reducing car lanes or parking. I plan to present ways of doing this to the City Council so that people can see it’s not a matter of cars or bikes but a matter of both working well together. That’s the Santa Barbara way.

With the state’s bonus housing density and the 10 proposed aﬀordable units, Neil Dipaola could build 56 units.

Humor with McAttitude

VLAD THE CRACKUP: What’s so funny about Russian boss Vlad (The Impaler) Putin invading the Ukraine? I don’t know, but one of the stand-up comics at the recent Comedy Festival here was a skinny little Ukrainian who told jokes about it. Something about if Putin could invade a country where only half the people spoke the native language, someone could do the same to Los Angeles. He was followed by a black guy from L.A. who trashed McDonald’s (“McAttitude”), an Aussie who ridiculed our obsession with cell phones, and a redneck amazed that Subway sandwich shops proliferate like rabbits, a thousand springing up after each rain. Humor, of course, reminds us of our national obsessions and bad habits and keeps us aware of our craziness and reality-warping marketing. “We don’t have Outback restaurants,” the Aussie pointed out. “Only you Americans.” We’re afraid to leave the house if our cell phones only have a 50 percent charge, risking possible disaster if we’re caught (horrors!) without a lifeline to the world, he told the Lobero crowd. We freeze if we’re somewhere and don’t have enough cell juice to snap a photo. A constant theme of the night dealt with clueless, bumbling men’s ways of getting along with wives and girlfriends.

ing by or ordering “ticket for one” when they went to the movies. When a girlfriend confessed that she wasn’t feeling “pretty,” instead of reassuring her, he suggested that tomorrow she’d probably look better. So why did she blow up at him, he wondered? This was just one night of a week’s worth of laughs, snorts, chuckles, gasps, and moans during the procession of stand-up comics, by no means as raunchy as this kind of humor can get. Which brings us to Leo Gallagher, not present, but the once-beloved watermelonsmashing king of prop comedy. At age 68, he’s descended into the seamy depths of extreme racist, sexophobic, homophobic jokes, according to his critics, and is on a “farewell” tour. He sued his brother Ron over appearances that led some patrons to believe they were seeing the “real” Gallagher. Gallagher also wanted to ban Ron from using his Sledge-O-Matic mallet act, smashing melons and other fruit. If you ever saw the real Gallagher, you wanted to sit close to the stage, under a plastic sheet, when he smashed fruit over the front rows. (I know, kindergarten revisited.) He professed to be highly insulted that Comedy Central rated him the 100th best stand-up comic of all time. “How could I be behind people I never heard of?” Gallagher has now had at least three heart attacks, his mustache is gray, and according

• Santa Barbara county beneﬁts much economically from the production of oil and gas, especially northern Santa Barbara county.

• Oil and gas operations in Santa Barbara county generate tens of millions of dollars per year for local governments and the state of California, including funds for schools, law enforcement, ﬁre ﬁghting, parks, and roads. • Santa Barbara county, California, and the United States have among the most stringent environmental standards for oil and gas production in the world.

PAUL WELLMAN

Knitting

DAYDR E AMS a disbelieving laugh. We were sitting on his back porch on the backside h the Scenes wit of the Riviera, the setting more than appropriate for a career financier and family man with two teenage children, but not necessarily for the fastest-rising star in the Santa Barbara visual-art universe. This man, with his tightly cropped hair, T clear blue eyes, sincere conversaWAR E T S N tion, and utter lack of pretension or THA E y ego, seemed sent straight from central b casting for the role of “Happy Middle-aged American Dad,” as opposed to the guy that was just successfully courted by the internationally esteemed Sullivan Goss gallery. As if sensing the disconnect I was experiencing, Duneier offered, “Pretty much everyone who knows me from my real life has no idea what is going on. My family still shakes their head — even I still shake my head sometimes in disbelief. It still feels foreign when someone refers to me as ‘the artist.’” But make no mistake; this man is an artist, albeit a seemingly accidental one. The origin story of his first installation, and thus his career, begins on New Year’s Day 2012, when Duneier, who moved with his family to Santa Barbara from London in 2006, laid out his plans to learn 12 new skills in the newly minted year. It is a tradition he has had for a while and one that has seen him do things like pledge to hike all of Santa Barbara’s trails (that was 2007) or read 50 books (in 2009). So, two years ago, the tradition saw him take on 12 new skills (knitting making the list at his wife’s

S A N TA B A R B A R

A ’S

YA R N B O M B E R

suggestion). With hopes of “finding the Zen” in needles and yarn, Duneier got to work, while also pursuing things like riding a unicycle, or walking a slackline, or mastering jumping stilts. “It was miserable and incredibly frustrating,” says the Yarn Bomber of his first knitting efforts.“There was nothing Zen about it for me.” Despite his struggles, and just a few days removed from the “successful” completion of his first scarf, Duneier was struck by a lightning bolt of inspiration while hiking Cold Springs Trail one late winter afternoon. He had recently come across an image on the Internet of a bus in Mexico City covered with yarn and had long been a fan of Christo’s large-scale installations in nature — two things which he now knows were working behind the scenes in his brain during his fateful hike. “I was just staring at that eucalyptus tree, and the idea popped into my head from nowhere: ‘I should wrap that with yarn,’ I said to myself, and so later that night, I just started knitting.” Shortly thereafter, Duneier discovered the yarn bombing subculture, a worldwide eclectic crew of fiber graffiti artists who cover things big and small and unexpected with purposely knit or crocheted sections of yarn. He also learned that the nd Annual International Yarn Bombing Day was slated for early June, less than three months away. Naively, the rookie knitter publicly pledged on his blog to have his massive tree sweater ready and wearable by the date. After weeks on end of knitting almost nonstop — Duneier found himself with needles in hand at everything from cocktail parties and his daughter’s college campus visits to airports and hospitals and board meetings — and with a little bit of help from the Internet (his blog got picked up by the administrators at WordPress and, as a ND ON SC OT T LO

on’t let the mind-numbing and homogeneous procession of white stucco and red roofs fool Behind you — Santa Barbara has a semi-secret love affair with artistic whimsy. We celebrate Summer Solstice like few others in the country, we champion the Dr. Seuss–appropriate designs of architects like Jeff Shelton, we have an unflinching fidelity to bright and ridiculous tile work, we proudly wave the art flag of the Funk Zone even as it slips and slides toward drunken gentrification, and, for the past two years, our foothills and backcountry have served as ground zero for the coming of age of the Yarn Bomber, Santa Barbara’s very own, if not somewhat elusive, wonder-inducing three-dimensional textile artist. His name is Stephen Duneier, and what he is doing is big, bold, beautiful, brilliant, and all but certain to piss a few people off. My first experience with the Yarn Bomber’s handiwork came back in early June 2012. I had no idea who or what a “yarn bomb” was and was certainly not on the lookout for public installation art when I made my way up the Cold Springs Trail under a cool cover of gloom that Thursday morning. I was a few twists and turns past the bench that serves as a turnaround point for most on the popular Montecito front-country trail when my eyes picked up an explosion of color in the otherwise washed-out hues of a foggy early summer morning. There, just above my spot on the trail, rose a mighty 40-foot eucalyptus tree, its trunk and limbs sporting an eye-blinkingly bright sweater of patchwork yarn. I giggled out loud and quickened my pace toward it. I was alone, camera-less, and completely thrilled. That accidental discovery of joyful and ridiculous and anonymous art in a place I never expected to find it creates a heady sort of magic that I, for one, cannot get enough of. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I had just stumbled across Duneier’s very first work of art. “I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, but yeah, it certainly seems to be working out,” cracked Duneier late last month with

His outdoor installations, often comprising donations from would-be yarn bombers around the world, have been causing cheers and even a few jeers in the South Coast’s creative community. Duneier has covered boulders and a cave mouth at Lizard’s Mouth (top) and has begun a Guinness World Records attempt at making the world’s biggest granny square (bottom right).

result, knitting enthusiasts from around the world mailed in sections of yarn to help with his assemblage), Duneier successfully installed some 400 square feet of yarn on the tree during that second weekend of June. When he took the installation down the following weekend, he was certain that he was “done with yarn forever.” In fact, he boxed up the piece and shipped it off to the nonprofit Warm Up America. “I was so sick of yarn and knitting, and I was completely exhausted,” he recalled of the afterglow of his first installation. “I honestly never thought I would do something like that again.” But the muses have had different plans. In the two years since his first project, he has taken up the yarn four more times, with installations that have gotten progressively bigger and more impressive. His disdain for knitting has given way to a heartfelt love of crocheting. He has tackled installations on the gigantic boulder at the top of Saddlerock Trail; a huge multicolored spider web at the entrance to the Sasquatch Cave in the Playground area below Lizard’s Mouth; a humongous 20-foot-wide starfish made out of reflective yarn suspended some 40 feet above the pools at Seven Falls (its installation timed to coincide with a full moon); and then, most recently, was his controversial installation at Lizard’s Mouth this past summer, which saw some 388 artists from 36 countries and all 50 states collaborate to cover 18 boulders in cosmic-colored, custom-fitted

blankets. All of the installations went up for only nine days so as to cause minimal impact on the environment (they’re also installed in such a way to leave zero trace of their presence once removed), while also allowing the public two weekends to get out and enjoy them. “My goal in all of this is to get people outside,” explains Duneier. “I want people to get past their comfort zone and see things they have never seen before.” But the art isn’t for everyone. More than half of Duneier’s installations have been prematurely removed by disapproving members of the public, who consider the whimsy and magic of this temporary art to be some sort of blight or pollution. Or, in the case of his Lizard’s Mouth project, a safety hazard. Easily the most public of his undertakings, the Lizard’s Mouth installation was nearly killed before it started thanks to a late-hour complaint ﬁled with the Los Padres National Forest from a watchdog organization. A brutal bureaucratic ﬁnger trap ensued, but Duneier — thanks in no small part to his business-world acumen and world-class work ethic — successfully navigated a mostly unknown permitting process under extreme duress, and the show eventually went on. “It was just insane to see all these people out there. It was like an outdoor museum in the middle of nowhere,” sums up the Yarn Bomber with a smile of true satisfaction. Even

ARTS FESTIVAL

Now in its 14th season, the Flamenco Arts Festival stands as one of Santa Barbara’s biggest cultural events. It may also be one of the showiest. For 2014, festival organizers have more than a few tricks up their ruffled sleeves, including three days of events and one very big premiere. In addition to pre-parties, postparties, and intermediate and advanced dance classes, this year’s centerpiece includes the U.S. debut of Manuel Liñán’s Nómada. An awardwinning and world-renowned dancer, Liñán’s flamenco is heralded for its meticulous timing and “razor-sharp rhythms.” For Nómada, Liñán combines deep traditional flamenco with big, bold modern movements to tell the story of migration over the course of human existence. He’ll be joined onstage by his company, consisting of 10 dancers, singers, and musicians, who will help bring Nómada’s universal stories to life. At the Granada Theatre, Saturday, September 27.

A MAN AMONG MANNEQUINS: “This whole thing has been organic. There is no real plot here for me to become some big artist or the next Christo or something. This has sort of been by accident,” says Yarn Bomber Steve Duneier, pictured above with elements of his latest work in progress. Sometime later this fall, the ﬁber artist will install a large, interactive “alien camp scene” consisting of yarn-skinned ETs somewhere in the hills of Santa Barbara.

YARN BOMBER CONTINUED FROM P. 28 forest officials were singing his praises by the end of the project’s run. So what’s next for the Bomber, you ask? Well, first off, he recently passed the halfway point in his efforts to make the biggest granny square in the history of the world. With the blessings of the folks from the Guinness World Records, Duneier has slowly been chipping away at his larger-than-life crochet square and, at last measurement, was right around 21 feet by 21 feet. He figures he will be done when he hits the 31½-foot mark. Then there are his secret plans for his next installation, a project that is forming fast in his garage with a small army of mannequins. After kicking around potential project ideas for places like Knapp’s Castle, the Tea Gardens, and the Funk Zone, he decided on once again returning to the hills of Santa

Barbara and creating a wild alien camp scene at an undisclosed location sometime this fall, likely in October or early November, according to the man himself. Hoping to keep some of the surprise and magic intact, Duneier is tightlipped when pressed for more details about his newest undertaking, oﬀering only, “It’s going to be a bunch of creatures from some other place, like maybe outer space, who have yarn skin and who have arrived here in Santa Barbara to enjoy the outdoors. They will probably have a couple dozen giant yarn tents with them, as well.” At this, I just smile and marvel at the bizarro collection of “yarn aliens” currently being born in his garage and driveway.“To be honest, it’s the same with all of these projects — when I start, I don’t really know where I am going or how I am going to get there. But that’s the fun part of it — it’s one giant problem to solve.” SCOT T LONDON

Following on the success of this summer’s Starting Here: A Selection of Distinguished Artists from UCSB, a sprawling and impressive alumni show, UCSB’s Art, Design & Architecture Museum has assembled an outstanding lineup of five exhibitions, all of which open on September 12. Barton Myers: Works of Architecture and Urbanism takes advantage of the extensive archive Myers donated to the museum in 2000 to examine and celebrate almost 50 years of influential work, ranging from concert halls and theaters to urban projects and steel houses, all created in Myers’s distinctive modern idiom. UCSB grad Eric Beltz will be the museum’s 2014 artist-in-residence, and his presence will be felt through a project called The Cave of Treasures, which combines drawing, wood, concrete, and live plants in order to encourage a meditative state in viewers. Bollywood : The Visual Culture of Bollywood Film Posters is exactly what it sounds like and will be accompanied by a variety of screenings and discussions. Meanwhile, Surface: The Handcrafted Object brings together a range of sculptures united by an appreciation of the role of process and the artist’s hand. The exhibit will include work by Robert Arneson and Beatrice Wood, among many others. Finally, the museum will showcase its holdings on paper with Observations: Travel Sketches from the Architecture and Design Collection. An all-purpose opening reception for this vibrant slate of offerings will take place on Thursday, October 2. Call 893-2951 or visit www.museum.ucsb.edu. — CD

Finding Your Family History

Learning about your ancestry can be a fascinating undertaking: Did your kin help build America? Were they horse thieves? Military heroes? But how do you go about discovering the lost generations of your family? That’s where the S.B. County Genealogical Society comes in. The organization is holding its annual open house designed to help folks get started in their search by connecting them with Special Interest Groups (SIGs).

Fundraiser

for Pet Owners

Pet owners tend to consider their critter(s) part of the family. And as family members, they can be costly to feed, shelter, and keep healthy. Terribly, sometimes folks are forced to relinquish their pet to a shelter when financial difficulties befall them. That’s when the Diana Basehart Foundation steps in. A Santa Barbara–based nonprofit started two years ago, its mission is clear: “Helping elders and others on limited incomes care for and keep their beloved companion animals by providing support for veterinary, behavioral and nutritional needs.” To raise money for those in need, the foundation is holding a fundraiser featuring Char Margolis (char.net), a world-renowned medium. Margolis gained national attention in 2001 as a guest on Live with Regis when she predicted Kelly Ripa’s pregnancy. She travels the world giving readings and is bringing her talents to Santa Barbara Saturday, September 20, 1-4 p.m., at Unity Church Sanctuary, 227 East Arrellaga Street. All proceeds from the event will go to the Diana Basehart Foundation. For more information and tickets, call 222-4567 or visit basehart.org. — MD

.ME

I’m one of the few people who still regularly uses the U.S. Postal Service, so when I first heard about ShoutOut, an app allowing location-based chat between users, I didn’t think I’d be first in line to test it out. But after talking with the team behind it — Erwan Lent (top right), Joel Green (bottom right), and Adam Hegedus, three friends who met at UCSB and say they are “committed to changing the mobile communication landscape” — I realized that ShoutOut could actually prove to be a very useful GE innovation. So what exactly does it do? “We’re a location-based chat-room mobile application where we allow people to communicate locally, either anonymously or by sharing their identity,” Hegedus said. “Say you’re at a concert. You can go on ShoutOut and see what other people are talking about, get information, meet with other people … say you’re in your office, you’ll be getting push notifications for what people are talking about in the chat room while you’re there, and as soon as you leave, you’ll stop getting those notifications.” “Why not just walk up to the person next to you and say hi?” I asked. “Why not cut out the middleman, as it were?” Hegedus explained, “You can go and talk to the people around you, right, but the reason we’re making ShoutOut is that you can’t talk to everyone around you. For example,” Hegedus continued, “you can make a chat room the size of Santa Barbara and ask, ‘Is there anywhere to get lunch, or does anyone want to play basketball,’ or some kind of question like that, and then you’ll get the information, potentially meet other people around you, and be able to network more quickly rather than having to go through your friends, Facebook connections, friends of friends …. You have a new medium that will let you talk to the people that are most relevant nearby.” Hegedus said users can also create a “global chat room,” which allows you to bypass the location-based aspect of the app. This could be used to stay in touch with people you’ve met without having to exchange phone numbers, email addresses, or Facebook information. The app is now available on iTunes and coming soon to Android. See getshoutout.me. —Lawrence Moody

Book Review

Museum of Natural History Hosts Second Symposium on Human Origins

om Hanley grew up an air force brat in the era before everything fun came with protective equipment and a legal disclaimer. Unlike many children who follow the military drum from one nondescript post to the next and struggle with being the “new” kid on the block or in school, Hanley learned early on to go with the flow. Kansas, Texas, California — Hanley and his four siblings learned to pack and unpack, survive long road trips, and arrive in a new place, ready to adapt. One surefire Hanley adaptation to new surroundings was by being outdoorsy and adventurous. Whether it was water skiing, surfing, sailing, camping, or thundering down a stretch of beach in a dune buggy, Hanley remembers always doing something. After his father returned from a tour of duty in Vietnam, the family did a stint at Vandenberg Air Force Base, here in our neck of the woods, and Hanley attended St. Joseph High. He spent most of his free time surfing Pismo and El Capitan and Jalama but also found time to shape and tinker with surfboards. If not for a moment of candor about his recreational drug use during a background interview with a pair of navy investigators, Hanley might very well have had a military career like his father. Instead, he became, for a time, the keeper of a privately owned lighthouse on the Texas coast, the first of many offbeat jobs Hanley would try. Cold War Kid is a quick and breezy read, written in the kind of easy, laidback style one might expect from a self-proclaimed surfer dude. More a doer than a thinker, Hanley remains a man who enjoys experiencing the world with his own senses. If you’re in search of something entertaining to read on a languid late summer afternoon at the beach, slip Cold War Kid into your beach bag. Like an old friend from the neighborhood, Hanley is good for a story and a few laughs.

Monica Jones Faces Cold Waters to Raise Money for Youth Swim Lessons

onica Jones is the BFF (best friend forever) to area swimming; her history proves it. In 2009, she got Los Baños del Mar pool declared a county and state historical landmark and raised more than $1 million to prevent the City of Santa Barbara from pursuing a plan to create a grandiose harbor entrance at that spot. That same year, she also raised money to save the Sunday adult swim program at Los Baños and keep the Ortega Park swimming pool open. (Her efforts garnered her a 2009 Local Hero Award from this newspaper.) Jones, 73, is at it again. This time, she’s out to secure funds to cover the cost of swim lessons for area youth. “Many children who live along the California coast have never had the opportunity to learn to swim,” Jones noted in a promotional flyer about her effort. “Swimming is great fun, but the bottom line is that water is dangerous for those of us who cannot swim, especially children. Just as someone taught you and me how to swim, perhaps you could now help children learn to swim.” Rather than simply ask for donations —“$41 pays for two weeks of daily lessons for one child”— she will demonstrate how serious she is about the cause: She joined an all-woman relay team to swim 19 miles across the Santa Barbara Channel from Santa Cruz Island to Oxnard. What makes this relay unique is the six women on the team are ages 62-76. They call themselves the Sea Sprites. The relay is scheduled to begin at midnight on September 19. Each person will swim one hour at a time across the channel — without wet suits. “I got an email from someone down south that wanted to do the first-ever ‘Little Old Ladies Swim’ from Santa Cruz to Oxnard,” Jones explained. “I said, ‘I’m slow,’ and she said, ‘We don’t care. You have to be old and tough and be willing to swim in the dark.’ I said I’d do it.” Jones and 76-year-old Sylvia Glenn of Santa Maria are the county representatives on the relay team. Glenn was a regular in the mile swim

at the Reef and Run series. “She’s faster than me,” said Jones. “I always come in last in the mile.” But Jones always ﬁnishes, and she hasn’t missed a Reef and Run swim this summer. “I have perfect attendance,” she said, proudly, after completing the season-ending Boat to Beach mile to East Beach. Jones started ocean swimming in 1965 and hasn’t stopped. “I leave my green shoes with the lifeguard so they know I’m out there, and I swim for an hour,” she said. “This Monica Jones is without a wet suit. You have to be old and tough; you have to gain Adipose tissue, or fat, right?” Jones said the ocean currents can sometimes make it diﬃcult for her to get back to shore. But she’s learned if there is a will, there is a way. “Last week, it was kind of stormy, and I asked [City of Santa Barbara Director of Aquatics] Rich Hanna, ‘How am I going to get in?’ And Rich says to me, ‘Listen, you drove your car down here; you can get out of the water.’ So I just waited ’til I got to the last buoy and told the paddler, ‘You tell me when to start swimming in. You know I’m not fast.’” Those challenges don’t deter her from going out again. “It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “I don’t climb mountains, but the ocean is here, so why not swim in the ocean?” For more information or to donate to the Children’s Swim Fund, contact Jones at desmonicajones@cox.net.

Do You Know Where Your Vagina Is?

here I was at my keyboard, writing about something sensible and semi-important, when this news popped up on my screen: “Nearly Half of Young Women in the U.K. Don’t Know Where Their Vagina Is.” And because a headline like that can’t be ignored, you’ll just have to wait for a sensible, semi-important column another time. My first reaction to this news, naturally, was shock. I hadn’t realized that so many British women share a vagina. And not a one of them could track the thing down? To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, for one woman to lose such a thing may be regarded as misfortune; for hundreds to lose it looks like carelessness. I kept reading and learned that a survey of 1,000 British women revealed that only half of those aged 26-35 were able to correctly identify the vagina on a simple diagram of a woman’s reproductive system. And I mean simple. Like if there’d been a “You are here” icon, the survey participants could have spun 180 degrees and seen their vaginas is how simple it was. The survey also showed that while young gals generally did not know which way was up, older women could tell an ovary from a uterus just fine and a cervix from a fallopian tube, thank you very much. The study was conducted by women’s cancer research group The Eve Appeal to promote Gynecological Cancer by Starshine Awareness Month. They say the results point to a potentially dangerous ignorance among young women about their own sexual and reproductive health. email: starshine@roshell.com My personal concerns about the findings tend less to the medical ramifications and more to the sociopolitical implications, which can be summed up thusly: What the, SERIOUSLY??! I asked The Eve Appeal for their best guess as to how such a thing could happen. “We don’t feel it’s appropriate for us to speculate on the reasons behind young women’s lack of knowledge around gynecological health,” a representative told me. But I have no such qualms. So let’s speculate: I’ll grant that cartoony illustrations of the female reproductive system can look, as one of my male friends said, like a “headless alien pulling out its eyeballs from under its armpits.” Yep. I totally see that. And I’ll allow that young women may be less likely to have borne children and thus have not flipped through What to Expect books, which indelibly illustrate the whole egg-meets-sperm rom-com with its grisly didn’t-see-that-coming ending. (Mucus plug? Who knew.) But — don’t teens learn this stuff in health class? Sure, women’s plumbing is more complicated and less conspicuous than men’s, and yes, girls supposedly have weaker spatial skills than boys. But one shouldn’t need GPS to find one’s own front door. It would be forgivable not to know where, say, your soul was located. Or your G-spot. Or even your gall bladder. But any 30-year-old who thinks her hoo-ha is an outie rather than an innie really needs to schedule some quiet alone time. Which reminds me: The survey also found that most young survey respondents were uncomfortable using the words vagina and vulva, with many resorting to “code names” like lady parts or women’s bits. (And leave it to the birth nation of James Bond to assign secret agent names to their naughty nethers, right?) The Eve Appeal believes this “shows the urgent need for us all to talk more openly about these issues in order to break down taboos.” Look, I’ll talk openly about this stuff ’til I’m blue in the … women’s bits, but I ought to be able to call it whatever I want and here’s why: () The Eve Appeal itself is a cutesy euphemism for “women’s cancer charity,” and () I could pin the tail on my vagina blindfolded.

A Fresh Start for UCSB Soccer Sweden’s Ahl Among Young Gauchos Working Up a Sweat

PAUL WELLMAN

by John Zant he summer sitcom Welcome to Sweden featured an American (played by Greg Poehler) who moves across the Atlantic to make a new life with his girlfriend. Among his adventures in culture shock, he had to endure a sweltering session in a sauna with a cluster of naked Swedish men. On the soccer pitch at UCSB’s Harder Stadium last Friday night, there was a show that could have been titled Welcome to America, starring Ludwig Ahl, a 20-year-old freshman player from Stockholm, Sweden. He displayed some dazzling moves in his Gaucho home debut against Northwestern, but after going like the Energizer Bunny for 90 minutes, and being knocked down repeatedly by less-skillful opponents, Ahl was at the limit of his endurance. Then he found out there was more soccer to play. “I’m not used to this overtime thing,” he said.“I thought the game was over.” The score was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, but the game was not finished until 20 minutes of overtime had been played, as dictated by NCAA rules, in the hopes that a winning goal would be scored. It didn’t happen, and the Gauchos, who dominated possession for most of the match, had to settle for a draw that leveled their record at 1-1-1. With a plethora of youth on their roster — 10 freshmen and sophomores played in the Northwestern match — the Gauchos need time to mesh as a team. They opened their season in the sauna of the American South, scoring a 2-1 victory over the College of Charleston before wilting in a 3-0 defeat to Furman in South Carolina. After hitting the road early this week (a Tuesday-night game at Stanford), the Gaucho men will play their next six matches in the friendly confines of Harder Stadium, where they have led the nation’s colleges in soccer attendance for seven consecutive seasons. The lineup: Colgate (Fri., Sept. 12, 7:30pm); No. 1–ranked UCLA (Sat., Sept. 20, 7pm); San Diego State (Fri., Sept. 26, 7pm); Drake (Sun., Sept. 28, 6pm); Cal State Northridge (Thu., Oct. 2, 7pm); and UC Irvine (Sat., Oct. 4, 7pm). By October, UCSB coach Tim Vom Steeg hopes to see a battle-tested team that has figured out how to convert the forays of flashy freshmen Ahl and Axel Mendez into goals. Both of them are living up to their reputations. Ahl had a chance to sign a first-division professional contract in Sweden, Vom Steeg said, but has committed to getting a college

degree instead. Mendez starred both for the CIF champion Cathedral High team in Los Angeles and the L.A. Galaxy Academy, a developmental team affiliated with the Major League Soccer club. Nick DePuy, showing nice footwork for a 6 4 midfielder, scored UCSB’s goal Friday on a solo effort in the first half. A deflected cross came to DePuy at the top of the 18-yard box, and after a hesitation that froze the defense, the sophomore from Irvine fired a left-footed shot that took one bounce past Northwestern’s All-Big  goalkeeper Tyler Miller. DePuy, who was primarily a defender last year, is torn by the experiment of being moved to the midfield. Ahl weaved through Northwestern’s defense and served up two brilliant passes in the second half —“plattered” them, in Vom Steeg’s words — but no Gaucho was ready to put them away. The coach hopes to find a surefire finisher — somebody who, like a football receiver going across the middle, has the courage and instinct to get after balls in the heart of the penalty area. Candidates include senior forward Reed McKenna and junior Charlie Miller, both of whom scored in the opener, and sophomore Ismaila Jome, a returning All-Big West winger who was a superb set-up man last year and has the potential to be more of a goal-scorer. Mendez squeezed off several shots from the perimeter Friday night, keeping the AHL OR NOTHING: UCSB freshman Ludwig Ahl (right), a 5’6”, 150-pound Northwestern defenders on their toes.

The pace may pick up in As a player who was nurtured in European football, Ahl is the last five minutes of a match.“That five minutes goes on for finding the college game to be a different beast. It constantly 90 minutes in college soccer,” Vom Steeg said.“The speed is moves at a frenzied pace because unlimited substitution crazy.” Then there’s overtime. Ahl took a breather for the first brings in waves of fresh players. In other countries, only three 15 minutes of extra time against Northwestern. UCSB’s other European-bred starter, Paul Ehmann, is adjusting to the rigors. The sophomore from Frankenthal, Germany, had problems with fatigue as a midfielder last year. He volunteered to play defense this season and is the only Gaucho, other than sophomore goalkeeper Josh McNeely, who played every minute of the first three matches. “I had a little health problem over last half year,” Ehmann The performances by Oscar Garcia and Macy said. “Now I’m good to go.

s a preservation architect on the East Coast, John Wright restored old farmhouses into comfortable homes. Upon coming to the West Coast with his wife — soap opera star Laura Wright, who left the New York–based Guiding Light series for General Hospital in Los Angeles — Wright discovered that restoration wasn’t in particular demand, but found some similarities in making wine. “Wine is a creative process with design and construction,” explained Wright, who started making 100 cases of Santa Ynez Valley wine with Joey Tensley in 2007 and steadily grew to the 3,000 cases he makes today under the Standing Sun brand.“There’s steel and wood and glass, and you are taking a raw ingredient and turning it into a ﬁnished product.” He did put his architecture skills to work by designing his facility at the end of Second Street in Buellton, where visitors to the tasting room can watch winemaking in action.“To me, the process is as important as the ﬁnished product,” said Wright, who makes mostly Rhône varietals and blends, as well as pinot noir and riesling. “When I go to a restaurant, I want to see the chef cooking, and I think a lot of people want to see the same things in action.” By 2012, he still felt his new career “was lacking the rest of the picture,” so Wright sought synergy with the singer/songwriter community by submitting “Standing Sun” as the name of a band into the Outlaw Roadshow in Austin, Texas, held during South by Southwest. “I felt like, independently and creatively, I was doing the same thing,” said Wright, whose follow-up tweet cemented his role as the event’s wine sponsor. He invited the musicians he met to come play his winery between gigs in L.A. and the Bay Area. Nearly 60 bands have played the winery since the Standing Sun Live series started in June 2012, and each concert also features a handful of food trucks and specially priced “Live” wines, making for a high-value $30 to $40 night when you

CUTTING TRAILS WITH

fter a two-decade-long music career and more than 100,000 solo album sales, it’s safe to say that Chuck Ragan has long since succeeded in finding his sound. His newest full-length album, Till Midnight, is gusty, folky, and, dare I say it, rousing. Ranging from fist-pumping anthems like “Something May Catch Fire” to sweet country-esque ballads such as “Wake With You,” Midnight is perfect to take along on a winding road trip miles from home — which is exactly what Ragan is doing. His West Coast tour kicks off in a week, stopping at some of the Golden State’s most intimate venues, including Velvet Jones on Tuesday, September 16. We recently caught up with Ragan to talk songwriting, Dolly Parton, and carpentry. What was your musical upbringing like? I grew up in a fairly conservative Southern Baptist household. As a young kid, I wasn’t really around rock ’n’ roll. My mother worked in churches, so I grew up around gospel, bluegrass, country — a lot of spirit-driven music. When I was a teen, I found skateboarding, and that brought me into a whole other realm of music.

Who have your most unlikely influences been? That’s a good question. … Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Andrés Segovia … [Laughs.] Your music has made a pretty significant transition from punk to Americana. How has that evolved over time? I’ve grown a lot as a songwriter. Even through all the years of playing rock ’n’ roll and touring with Hot Water Music, I always ended up with an acoustic guitar in my hand. Back then, we were young, full of angst, and fired up. But at the end of the day, we always ended up on the porch, settling down and playing some acoustic tunes. I love being able to weave together the sounds I was born and bred into as a kid and those I found as a teenager. Your album Till Midnight has a very defined rootsy-rock vibe. How did you string those sounds together? The songs were pretty bare bones before the band came in. I owe so much to them — not only for being amazing professional players but for caring as much as they did about the music. That’s what I’ll always remember down the road, whether I make a hundred more records or I never make another record again.

TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS: Chuck Ragan goes the solo route during his September 16 Santa Barbara stopover.

What career would you have pursued if not for music? I used to do a lot of carpentry work, actually. I’ve done it for years. I still have all my tools and a small, modest shop where I can go build things. If I wasn’t doing music, I’d probably still be putting in cabinets and windows. Tell me about your worst performance experience. There was a small show I played at a dive in Birmingham, Alabama. There were only about 15 people that came to see us play. I broke seven strings, my upright bass player broke one, and my ﬁddle player’s pedal died. It was one of those shows where whatever could go wrong did. So we stopped playing, and I came down and had a beer with the folks. Is there a reason why you’re hitting so many intimate venues on this tour? I wanted to be closer to the crowd and closer to home. We’ve been playing a lot of big festivals and club shows. This particular tour I’m playing without the band. I just wanted to strip it all down and play an up-close, personal collection of songs. It’ll just be my friend and I driving around and ﬁshing. — Cassandra Miasnikov

ers. But the Rebels also make a few attempts to get in touch with their more intimate side. On the title track, Hunt poses the question, “In my head I am warrior. Would you like to come with me and roam around?” His melodic vocal lines are laid down over arpeggiated guitar parts backed up with some seriously hearty acoustic strums. Whatever their next move may be, we can be sure that the Winchester Rebels will do it boldly.

Jorge Pardo’s “Untitled (Sea Urchin)”

CONTEMPORARY/ MODERN

With this exhibit, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art continues to light up our community by displaying the best in modern and contemporary art from its permanent collection. Distinct from the recently concluded Left Coast show, which consisted of recent acquisitions, Contemporary/Modern focuses on important works that were created in two divergent periods, the modern period, from 1958-1980, and the contemporary, from 2010 to the present. Drawing on the museum’s extensive holdings in classic modernism, curator Julie Joyce has created a provocative context for some amazing recent art. For example, Jorge Pardo’s “Untitled (Sea Urchin)” of 2012 is fascinating in its own right as an example of the artist’s tendency to complicate the status of sculpture through cross-referencing it with the functionality of objects such as lamps, which are ordinarily understood as belonging to the less prestigious category of décor. Juxtapose this oversized table lamp with the gigantic and breathtaking 1969 Larry Poons painting “Yangtze,” however, and suddenly it feels as though one has stumbled into some mutant, space-age bachelor pad. Elsewhere, the razzle-dazzle of a large Lucas Samaras textile mosaic abstraction from 1979 makes a perfect foil for the ebullient color of Helen Frankenthaler’s “Green Sway.” The most recent piece in the show, Guy Goodwin’s assemblage “Hotel/Motel IN,” which was completed this year, takes the colorful hard-edge style of such modernist painters as Frederick Hammersley and John McLaughlin, both of whom are also in the show, and blends it with Mike Kelley’s vocabulary of upholstered abjection. Every object in this concisely powerful selection beneﬁts from the witty way in which these two eras have been brought together. The result makes an intriguing statement about the recent upsurge in interest in all things modern, while building a context in which very recent work can be more thoroughly understood and appreciated. The exhibition will be on view through January 4, 2015. — Charles Donelan

a&e | CLASSICAL PREVIEW

ONE VIOLIN IS PLENTY

20% OFF ONE ITEM*

here are plenty of great string quartets. String trios, not so much. Mozart wrote a massive one, which he modestly titled a divertimento; Beethoven and Schönberg also composed for the combination of violin, viola, and cello. But that’s about it — until now. Camerata Pacifica, the Santa Barbara–based chambermusic ensemble, is kicking off its 25th season this weekend with the world premiere of a string trio by John Harbison. The 30-minute work is also featured on the group’s firstever CD, an all-Harbison disc that has just been released on the internationally distributed Harmonia Mundi label. “I had been putting off writing a string trio for about 50 years,” the composer said in an interview from his Massachusetts home. “I tried to write one when I was about 15. I learned enough to understand how difficult the combination was. I remember thinking when I was 17 that I’d come back to this when I had more experience.” Harbison certainly took his time, but he has hardly been idle. Now 75, he has established himself as one of the greatest living American composers, winning the Pulitzer Prize and enjoying performances of his work by many of the world’s most prestigious ensembles. “I’ve always liked his music,” said Adrian Spence, Camerata Pacifica’s founder and music director.“I really admire his command of form and structure and counterpoint. All the reasons we love Bach are reasons to love Harbison.” Spence initially approached the composer with a different project a decade or so ago. Harbison was intrigued but realized he couldn’t fit it into his busy schedule. They stayed in touch over the years, and when Spence decided he wanted a string by Tom Jacobs trio for the three principle players at the core of his ensemble — violinist Catherine Leonard, violist Richard O’Neill, and cellist Ani Aznavoorian — Harbison was the first person he called. “He said no repeatedly,” Spence remembers. “It took four or five years, I think, before he agreed to do it. When he was ready, I’d been ready for a long time!” Spence chuckled.“There’s the reason we’ve been around for 25 years — early in my career, I coined the phrase that ‘no’ is just the first two letters of ‘not yet.’ That is still my philosophy.” Harbison’s reticence was understandable. “It’s no accident that there aren’t very many string trios,” he said.“[The problems raised by] a string quartet are a lot more solvable than a string trio. The one [additional] player somehow makes a huge amount of difference.” Figuring he might as well follow the example of the one composer who incontestably mastered the form, he decided to mimic the outline of Mozart’s string trio, right down to the unusual number of movements (six).“When I was working on the piece,” Harbison recalled, “a couple of friends who know the repertoire asked, ‘Is it going to have one movement too many, the way the Mozart does?’ I said,‘Absolutely.’ “My second movement is the slow movement, as in the Mozart,” he said.“I thought that, in a piece of that size, that’s the right time for it. The final movement, somewhat to my surprise, wound up with a character which is somewhat aggravated and impatient. I was somewhat surprised that was what I was dealing with, but I thought I’d better go with it. “The string trio is not a medium for which listeners have much of a context for,” he added. “It’s a very different world from that of the quartet. I tried to make the dis-

course as clear as I could and tried to focus the ear on the individuality of each player.” The long gestation period did result in one casualty: Violinist Leonard has since left the group. But her replacements — Amy Schwartz Moretti on the CD and Movses Pogossian in concert — have been more than up to the task, and Spence is thrilled with the results. “It’s one of those wonderful pieces that bears repeat listening,” he said.“The more you listen to it, the more you’ll get out of it.” The CD, of course, will afford opportunities for multiple hearings. Spence turned down previous opportunities to record the group, saying that his focus has always been the live concerts. “But when Harmonia Mundi came knocking, that was an endorsement I couldn’t turn my back on,” he said. At the request of the engineer/producer, the group landed at the recital hall of SUNY Purchase in January to record. “It was a nightmare,” recalls Spence. “The day all the musicians were arriving was the day the polar vortex descended on New York. We lost half a day of recording because of the blizzard. “The hall had been closed over the Christmas holidays. When we opened the doors, we found snow inside — it had blown in under the doors! We had electric heaters all around the group. It was -2 degrees outside, and I think it was -1 inside.” CamPac’s world-premiere concerts will be under more favorable climactic conditions, though. They kick off a season that concludes in May with Bach’s complete Brandenburg Concertos — the same repertoire played on December 3, 1990, in the Lobero Theatre, at Camerata Pacifica’s first performance.

he Lit Moon Theatre Company’s distinctive aesthetic — quirky, visually inventive, more expressionistic than naturalistic — isn’t an obvious fit for the plays of Anton Chekhov. But the troupe’s first production of the great Russian dramatist’s work — The Cherry Orchard, which it performed last weekend at Westmont College — is nothing less than a triumph. Director John Blondell and a strong cast managed to find a surprising number of laughs in this melancholy tale of missed connections and missed opportunities (which the playwright did, after all, call a comedy). More importantly, they have created a staging that not only never feels stagnant (always a distinct possibility with Chekhov, since his plays contain so little plot) but also builds to a deeply moving conclusion. The set is minimal: a few chairs, a table, a piano, and a scattering of what appear to be fall leaves on the floor, presumably representing the final days of the sociopolitical system represented by the family at the play’s center. Liubov Ranyevskaya (a luminous Victoria Finlayson, whose combination of selfdramatization and self-deception brings to mind Blanche duBois) has just returned to her family estate in rural Russia after five years abroad. She discovers much has changed: As old family friend and successful businessman Lopakhin (Mitchell Thomas) informs her, she’ll have to make major changes or face bankruptcy. But like a more stubborn version of Lord Grantham of Downton Abbey, the aristocrat finds herself unable to act, and her passivity sets into motion a dramatic reversal of fortunes. Then again, pretty much all of the characters get in the way of their own happiness; for Chekhov, that is the human condition. In traditional productions, they tend to keep their feelings of frustration and despair fairly close to their vests; here, they’re much more overt. It’s a risky choice — you don’t want the characters to come across as ridiculous — but it pays real dividends, making their pain (and occasional high spirits) quite palpable. Blondell made two outside-the-box casting choices, only one of which works. Brian Harwell is far too old to play the idealistic perpetual graduate student Trofimov; his lengthy conversation with Madame Ranyevskaya, in which she speaks of “your generation,” makes no sense, given how close they are in age. On the other hand, having the minor character of Carlotta played by a bearded man in drag is a hilarious touch, partly because the role is so odd to begin with and partly because of the way Jeff Mills throws himself into the part. (His magic tricks aren’t bad, either.) In addition, Nina Sallinen as Liubov’s deeply unhappy stepdaughter, and Stan Hoffmann as the elderly servant Firs, are especially effective. Jim Connolly wrote and performs a wonderfully evocative original score. ■

GARAGE ROCK HEROES

ock ’n’ roll history turns up in the most unexpected places — for instance, a few suburban blocks from San by D.J. Palladino Marcos High School, in a comfy home with a backyard studio where Katy Perry cut her first record. Living in that tract home and responsible for putting her on wax (as they used to say) are the brothers Orosco: Ernie, Brian (now Brian Faith) and Cody (born Raymond), who also constitute the personnel of the first S.B. rock band to make the charts — long before Perry, Toad, and Dishwalla. “I guess you could say David Crosby made it, too,” said Brian, leaning forward on the living room couch on a recent gray day, “but that was with a bunch of people not from here. I never heard anybody challenge the claim,” he smiled. The year was 1965, Vietnam was heating up, the Beatles released Rubber Soul, and the Orosco brothers, who called themselves Ernie and the Emperors at the time, had been spotted during an opening set at Earl Warren Showgrounds. It was there where they served as the house band, playing with everybody from the Isley Brothers to Bobby Vinton, and where they got themselves signed to Reprise, Frank Sinatra’s label. Their song was called “Meet Me at the Corner,” and it made the mighty Los Angeles’ KRLA charts and went to number one at our own TO THE TOP: Pictured above are the Orosco KIST, thanks to a Mersey sound brothers at the start of their nearly fivesimilar to The Hollies. The bros’ decade-long musical career. harmonies were natural but took a lot of work. Since their father wouldn’t let them tour, the brothers (plus junior high pal and musician extraordinaire Randy Busby) had time to work. Ernie said that the Beach Boys, a band of brothers with great melding vocals, became their role models. The Oroscos began a correspondence with the Boys’ father, Murry Wilson, who would listen to their records and offer up helpful critiques. They also got a lot of help from area musicians. As surf music morphed into the psychedelic 1960s, the brothers got drafted, returned, and were reborn in the spirit of the times as Giant Crab, a band that toured with Strawberry Alarm Clock and still gets sampled today. “That’s pretty cool,” said Brian, whose guitar licks found their way into DJ Shadow’s “The Answer Is No.” But even those entrenched in rock history are subject to the laws of mortality. Earlier this year, Cory Orosco, the youngest brother, was diagnosed with stagefour lymphoma, after doctors initially misdiagnosed his run of fevers and skin eruptions. Next week, his Santa Barbara rock family will get together at the Elks Hall and celebrate the band. A sit-down dinner, silent auction, and musical journey through the past will culminate in performances by area denizens of the still-thriving world of garage rock: Soul City Survivors, Night Train, FOG, and the Orosco brothers. Set up in a nice bed in the isolation booth of their backyard recording studio — it was shut down by the county and now functions as a rehearsal space and jam headquarters — Cory is surrounded by echo chambers and amps. The guitar his brother played 60 years ago hangs across from him on the bed. “I’d like to point out that my brother was the first person who ever recorded Katy Perry,” said Brian, and the brothers took me to a picture of the young Katy, who was still singing about Jesus back then, posed with a picture of Jewel behind her. “My brother said she was good,” said Ernie.“And she asked him if she would be as good as Jewel. He said she was going to be a much bigger star.” “And he was right,” said Brian.

The Identical. Blake Rayne, Ray Liotta, and Ashley Judd star in a ﬁlm written by Howard Klausner and directed by Dustin Marcellino. Reviewed by Kit Steinkellner

URBAN

he Identical takes an interesting factoid from pop music history (Elvis had an identical twin brother who was stillborn) and leaves fact for fiction with a script that is part roman à clef, part hypothetical storytelling. The film poses these questions: What if Elvis and his identical twin were separated at birth, raised in separate homes, and both answered the siren call of rock ’n’ roll? What if one of these boys became Elvis? What if the other boy became his most successful impersonator? In The Identical, Elvis is Drexel Hemsley, born with his twin, Dexter (both played by Blake Rayne), to an out-of-work Dust Bowl couple during the Great Depression. Knowing that they can’t afford to feed two more mouths, father William Hemsley gives one of the twins, Dexter, to tent-revival preacher Reece Wade (Ray Liotta) and his wife, Louise (Ashley Judd). Dexter is rechristened Ryan Wade and grows up unaware of his doppelgänger. He’s born with the gift of song, and for a while we feel confident that he’s the one destined for glory, but once we see a record cover with Drexel Hemsley’s name plastered all over it, we know that Ryan will henceforth forever be “The Identical.” We follow Ryan as he moves from job to job, marries, wins a Drexel impersonator competition, all the while trying to make music a part of his life and constantly dodging his father’s urgings to join the ministry.

THE KING AND THE PAUPER: Separated at birth, two twins (Blake Rayne) unaware of each other’s existence set out to become rock ’n’ roll stars in The Identical.

with The Identical is that it has an agenda that makes it impossible to explore the inspired premise with all its dramatic possibilities. Produced by City of Peace Films, a Christian media group whose code phrase for enforcing their religious agenda is to tell stories with “redeeming value,” the movie is overwhelmed with the task of preaching to its audience; as the narrative progresses, the intense moralizing edges out any possibility of solid storytelling. It’s such a shame, too. The premise of this ﬁlm raises so many wonderfully complex questions. But the actual ﬁlm ■ is disappointingly content with simplistic answers.

A Summer’s Tale. Melvil Poupaud, Amanda Langlet, and Gwenaëlle Simon star in a ﬁlm written and directed by Eric Rohmer. Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

lmost 18 years after its French release, this movie arrives on these shores with perfect timing. Eric Rohmer’s A Summer’s Tale, the last in a four-film tribute to the seasons, offers great dessert after a summer buffet of films beginning with Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, who, among American directors, resembles this New Wave auteur best. I’m not the first to notice this: Linklater loves to feature overwrought young people out walking and engaged in serial talk-athons — they’re sometimes profound, often dripping with youthful angst. Rohmer’s sun-drenched roundelay might be a sequel to Boyhood transposed to France. As in most of Rohmer’s best films, nothing much happens here. The young guitar-wielding Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud, gangly and awkward and handsome) arrives by ferry at the beach town of Dinard in Brittany. He tells people he’s waiting for his girlfriend to arrive, but what we see is a lot of self-conscious lingering on the margins of a so-called life. He makes friends with Margot (Amanda Langlet), who has a boyfriend; meets Solene (Gwenaëlle Simon), who will only have him all or nothing; and, meanwhile, is sucker-played by the girl of his dreams. Soon he must choose, and soon the holiday will end. But the real action of the film lies in all the paths not taken. As Gaspard drifts, he confesses to Margot that he believes in life ruled by coincidence. Whether the audience believes him is another question.

Where events go to be seen.

With just a few mouse clicks, your event listing is in front of thousands of users looking for something to do. THE GRADUATE, PART DEUX: Arriving stateside for the first time since its 1996 French release, A Summer’s Tale traces the summer flings of a guitar-wielding graduate (Melvil Poupaud).

independent.com/events

Constructed in chapter-days much like a diary, the film seems neither flashy nor profound, yet the whole experience of it becomes haunting. Not enough artists know how to make the personal and specific turn into universal storytelling. A Summer’s Tale provides a slice of life without obvious artifice or arresting conclusion, but anybody who has ever drifted in the unresolved haze of youth will relate. It’s supposed to be the happiest time of our lives, a sunny distillation of freedom. What Rohmer knew and what Gaspard learns is that that dreams are always in the past, ■ left behind in a little beach town forever. september 11, 2014

Palladino) and KS (Kit Steinkellner) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com. The symbol ✯ indicates the film is recommended. Starred Up (106 mins.; NR) A troubled and violent teen is transferred from juvenile detention to an adult prison, where he meets his convicted father.

Wed., Sept. 17, 5 and 7:30pm, Plaza de Oro

If I Stay ﬁlm that dares to suggest that we have no warranty on a happy life. Though sadly, its conclusion doesn’t live up to its purpose. (DJP) Camino Real/Fiesta 5

✯ The Last of Robin Hood

(94 mins.; R:

some sexuality, language)

NOW SHOWING As Above, So Below (93 mins.; R: bloody violence, terror, language throughout)

PREMIERES Dolphin Tale 2 (107 mins.; PG: mild thematic elements)

After Winter’s surrogate mother dies, her team of human helpers reunite to try and ﬁnd the dolphin a new companion. Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd star.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5

The Drop (106 mins.; R: some strong violence, pervasive language)

Bob (Tom Hardy) gets wrapped up in a failed robbery and its subsequent investigation, which digs deep into his neighborhood’s past and his friends’ and family’s darkest secrets. Paseo Nuevo Love Is Strange (94 mins.; R: language) After Ben (Jon Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) get married, George loses his job, forcing both men to stay with friends while they seek out new housing and try to sort out their lives. Paseo Nuevo The Maze Runner (113 mins.; PG-13: thematic elements, intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, some disturbing images)

Thomas ﬁnds himself trapped in a maze with no memory of how he got their. He quickly learns that he must join forces with fellow “runners” for a chance at escape. Arlington/Camino Real (Opens Thu., Sept. )

No Good Deed (84 mins.; PG-13: sequences of mild violence, menace, terror, language)

A devoted wife and mother in suburban Atlanta opens her door to a dangerous escaped convict who claims his car broke down nearby. Camino Real/Fiesta 5 This Is Where I Leave You (103 mins.; R: language, sexual content, some drug use)

Following the death of their father, four adult siblings are forced to return to their childhood home and live alongside their mother and their assorted signiﬁcant others. Jason Bateman and Tina Fey star.

Paseo Nuevo (Opens Thu., Sept. 18)

A team of explorers ventures into the catacombs below Paris and discovers a deep, dark secret inside the city. This ﬁlm is not the creepy horror romp its previews suggest. In fact, it’s really a cross between National Treasure and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with claustrophobic moments sprinkled in. (DJP) Camino Real

✯ Boyhood

(165 mins.; R: language 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) 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. Fairview/Fiesta 5 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 4 3rd Annual

Kevin Kline portrays notorious mid-century lothario Errol Flynn in the months leading up to his death, when he carried on an aﬀair with a 15-year-old actress (Dakota Fanning). While Robin Hood belongs to Klein, Susan Sarandon’s turn as a stage mother trying to live out her thwarted Hollywood dreams is easily the ﬁlm’s most unnerving (and enthralling) set piece. (AC) Paseo Nuevo

(121 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, some language)

Let’s Be Cops (104 mins.; R: language including sexual references, some graphic nudity, violence, drug use)

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

Camino Real/Fiesta 5

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. (DJP) Arlington 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 Allen ever gets when he strikes out. But in the second half, something a bit magical happens. (DJP) Metro 4/Riviera

a&e | ROB BREZSNYâ€™S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF SEPTEMBER ď›œď›œ ARIES

decline steeply. Everything Iâ€™ve just said should serve as a useful metaphor for you in the coming week. Even if you are very sure that the stuďŹ€ you want to introduce into your life is healthier for you than a Double Big Gulp, donâ€™t get more of it than you can comfortably hold.

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): In the 2000 ďŹ lm Cast Away, Tom Hanks plays an American FedEx executive who is stranded alone on a remote PaciďŹ c island after he survives a plane crash. A few items from the plane wash up on shore, including a volleyball. He draws a face on it and names it â€œWilson,â€? creating a companion who becomes his conďŹ dant for the next four years. Iâ€™d love to see you enlist an ally like Wilson in the coming week, Aries. There are some deep, messy, beautiful mysteries you need to talk about. At least for now, the only listener capable of drawing them out of you in the proper spirit might be a compassionate inanimate object that wonâ€™t judge you or interrupt you.

CANCER

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): As far as I know, there has been only one battleship in history that was named after a poet. A hundred years ago, the Italian navy manufactured a dreadnought with triple-gun turrets and called it Dante Alighieri, after the medieval genius who wrote the Divine Comedy. Other than that, most warships have been more likely to receive names like Invincible, Vengeance, Hercules, or Colossus. But it would be ďŹ ne if you drew some inspiration from the battleship Dante Alighieri in the coming weeks. I think you will beneďŹ t from bringing a lyrical spirit and soulful passion to your expression of the warrior archetype.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): If you go to a ď˜ż-Eleven convenience store and order a Double Big Gulp drink, you must be prepared to absorb 40 teaspoons of sugar. But what will be an even greater challenge to your body is the sheer amount of ďŹ‚uid you will have to digest: 50 ounces. The fact is your stomach canâ€™t easily accommodate more than 32 ounces at a time. Itâ€™s true that if you sip the Double Big Gulp very slowly â€” like for a period of three and a half hours â€” the strain on your system will be less. But after the ďŹ rst half hour, as the beverage warms up, its taste will

PR O

or be a well-behaved model citizen. In fact, I think it will be best for everyone concerned if you experiment with benevolent mischief and unpredictable healing and ingenious gambles.

CAPRICORN

(June 21 - July 22): If you surrender to the passive part of your personality, you will be whipped around by mood swings in the coming days. You will hem and haw, snivel and procrastinate, communicate ineptly, and be confused about what you really feel. If, on the other hand, you animate the proactive side of your personality, you are likely to correct sloppy arrangements that have kept you oďŹ€balance. You will heal rifts and come up with bright ideas about how to get the help you need. Itâ€™s also quite possible you will strike a blow for justice and equality and ďŹ nally get the fair share you were cheated out of in the past.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): Those who invoke the old metaphor about the caterpillar that transforms into the butterďŹ‚y often omit an important detail: The graceful winged creature is helpless and weak when it ďŹ rst wriggles free of its chrysalis. For a while itâ€™s not ready to take up its full destiny. As you get ready for your own metamorphosis, Libra, keep that in mind. Have plans to lay low and be self-protective in the days following your emergence into your new form. Donâ€™t try to do loop-the-loops right away.

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): For over 2,000 years, Chinese astronomers have understood the science of eclipses. And yet as late as the 1800s, sailors in the Chinese navy shot cannonballs in the direction of lunar eclipses, hoping to chase away the dragons they imagined were devouring the moon. I have a theory that thereâ€™s a similar discrepancy in your psyche, Capricorn. A fearful part of you has an irrational fantasy that a wiser part of you knows is a delusion. So how can we arrange for the wiser part to gain ascendancy? Thereâ€™s an urgent need for you to stop wasting time and energy by indulging in that mistaken perspective.

LEO

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(July 23 - Aug. 22): In his 1982 martial arts ďŹ lm Dragon Strike, Jackie Chan experimented with more complex stunts than he had tried in his previous ďŹ lms. The choreography was elaborate and intricate. In one famous sequence, he had to do 2,900 takes of a single ďŹ ght sequence to get the footage he wanted. Thatâ€™s the kind of focused attention and commitment to detail I recommend to you in the coming weeks, Leo â€” especially if you are learning new tricks and attempting novel approaches.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Scorpios are currently the sign of the zodiac that is least likely to be clumsy, vulgar, awkward, or prone to dumb mistakes. On the other hand, you are the most likely to derisively accuse others of being clumsy, vulgar, awkward, or prone to dumb mistakes. I recommend that you resist that temptation, however. In the coming week, it is in your selďŹ sh interests to be especially tactful and diplomatic. Forgive and quietly adjust for everyoneâ€™s mistakes. Donâ€™t call undue attention to them or make them worse. Continue to build your likeability and ďŹ ne-tune your support system.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Squirrels donâ€™t have a perfect memory of where they bury their nuts. They mean to go back and dig them all up later, but they lose track of many. Sometimes trees sprout from those forgotten nuts. Itâ€™s conceivable that on occasion a squirrel may climb a tree it planted years earlier. I see this as a useful metaphor for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. You are on the verge of encountering grown-up versions of seeds you sowed once upon a time and then forgot about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): In 1786, Jacques Balmat and Michel Paccard were the ďŹ rst explorers to reach the top of 15,781foot Mont Blanc on the French-Italian border. They were hailed as heroes. One observer wrote that the ascent was â€œan astounding achievement of courage and determination, one of the greatest in the annals of mountaineering. It was accomplished by men who were not only on unexplored ground but on a route that all the guides believed impossible.â€? And yet today, 228 years later, the climb is

Homework: What symbol best represents your deepest desire? Testify by going to FreeWillAstrology .com and clicking on â€œEmail Rob.â€?

considered relatively easy for anyone whoâ€™s reasonably prepared. In a typical year, 20,000 people make it to the summit. Why am I bringing this to your attention? Because I suspect that you are beginning to master a skill that will initially require you to be like Balmat and Paccard but will eventually be almost routine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): You have cosmic permission to be bigger than life and wilder than sin. You have a poetic license to be more wise than clever. And you should feel free to laugh longer than might seem polite and make no apologies as you spill drinks while telling your brash stories. This phase of your astrological cycle does not require you to rein yourself in or tone yourself down

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): On a German TV show, martial artist Jackie Chan performed a tough trick. While holding a raw egg in his right hand, he used that hand to smash through three separate sets of four concrete blocks. When he was ďŹ nished, the egg was still intact. I see your next task as having some resemblances to that feat, Pisces. You must remain relaxed, protective, and even tender as you destroy an obstruction that has been holding you back. Can you maintain this dual perspective long enough to complete the job? I think you can.

Beer of the Week Uncommon Brewers Siamese Twin: Located in the Old Sash Mill in Santa Cruz is this certified organic, culinary‑focused brewery, run by Alec Stefansky, who proudly proclaims, “We don’t do IPAs.” Their top ale, Siamese Twin — currently available at Santa Barbara’s Sama Sama Kitchen, Mesa Verde, and Whole Foods — is a Belgian‑ style Dubbel brewed with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, and coriander. Other locally sourced ingredients are featured in the Bacon Brown Ale (yep, bacon!), the Baltic Porter (whole licorice root and star anise), and the Golden State Ale (toasted poppy seeds). “The goal was to explore beer flavors and styles that were being ignored by other brewers,” said Stefansky, and the Siamese Twin is a perfect example. “It’s a fun beer that defies expectations,” he explained, “deep amber in color with a deceptively smooth finish thanks to the citrus notes of lemongrass and kaffir lime.” See uncommonbrewers.com. —Rachel Hommel

More fully described in said Deed of Trust Street Address or other common designation of real property: 4685 Grand Avenue, Ojai, CA 93023 A.P.N.: 029‑0‑070‑140 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,250,654.72. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there

are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.
