Malala Yousafzai An Afternoon with the 2014 Nobel Peace Laureate SAT, JUN 27 / 3 PM ARLINGTON THEATRE

“Malala is a testament that women everywhere will not be intimidated into silence.” Time Event Sponsors: Susan & Craig McCaw

“This award [the Nobel Peace Prize] is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace.” – Malala Yousafzai in her Nobel acceptance speech After she was shot by the Taliban in 2012 for defying their edict barring girls from school, the then-15-year-old Malala Yousafzai from northern Pakistan made a miraculous recovery. Now studying in England, she has gone on to champion the right to an education for children everywhere and advocate for peace. For her humanitarian efforts, Malala was awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize – and, in so doing, became the youngest Nobel Laureate in history.

Ben Ciccati mostly spent his New Jersey summers cruising around on his bike from morning until midnight, he tells us. As for the critters in this collection, “I love looking at them and drawing them all,” he said. “I hope kids like ’em, though.” Kids, get out the colored pencils! The fun starts on page 29.

550 hour student, Pam Rousseau -“One of the most marvelous places that I love in Santa Barbara is SBBTI. The school shared valuable knowledge with me on multi- level of scientific education, spiritual and holistic techniques, balancing mind & body practices. With the help of amazing, local instructors, I was blessed to discover from their experience in the field, a new dimension of communication through touch and positive thinking – the beneficial healing approach of the school.”

Sheriff Misfires in Budget Shootout

PAU L WELLM AN

by KELSEY BRUGGER, TYLER HAYDEN, LYZ HOFFMAN, MATT KETTMANN, and NICK WELSH, with INDEPENDENT STAFF

TISKING CONTEST: Sheriff Bill Brown repeatedly interrupted the board, prompting Supervisor Peter Adam to complain, “Dude, I really wish you wouldn’t talk over me.”

Could the County Scrap the North County Jail?

I

BY LY Z H O F F M A N t was still early in the discussion at Monday’s budget-fest when Supervisor Salud Carbajal said, “For me, this hearing is not going well.” He also happened to be speaking for all of his colleagues, and Sheriff Bill Brown, whose request for more money coupled with a confusion-filled portrait of plans for the North County Jail, progressively ticked off the board for several hours.

While preliminary budgets presented by several other departments garnered neither much fanfare nor many questions — next year’s numbers will be finalized in June — the sheriff ’s presentation was a different story. Miscalculating how much extra money he would be requesting for his department’s $125 million budget — an initial document said $4.7 million more when the figure was really $5.5 million — was the first straw. Asking for the extra cash when his department is already $2.2 million in the hole, mostly for overtime costs, didn’t make things any better.

The second straw came when the supervisors and county staff were trying to figure out the discrepancy, and Brown said it was “almost impossible” for his department to provide exact figures. Moving on — after being urged

by Supervisor Peter Adam to make “a better presentation”— Brown piled on the third straw with his suggestion that he would seek state funds to repurpose parts of the Main Jail once the North County Jail opens in 2018.

Borrowing a phrase used by Supervisor Janet Wolf minutes earlier, Supervisor Steve Lavagnino called the Main Jail’s future “the elephant in the room” and suggested “mothballing” the building once the North County facility opens. But Brown put a quick kibosh on that idea, which didn’t sit well with the supervi-

sors. “I don’t want you to think that once we build this new jail, that becomes the one and only jail,” Sheriff Brown said. “That’s not going to be the case.”

Underscoring much of the conversation was Proposition , the state law approved by voters in November that demoted many felonies to misdemeanors and, as a result, significantly reduced jail populations. Brown, who campaigned against Prop.  on the theory that it would increase crime by putting more criminals on the street and removing their incentive to stop offending, has cautioned the supervisors against placing too much hope on the measure’s effects on our county jail, insisting that the jail’s population will continue to fluctuate.

At a recent meeting assessing the initiative’s impact in Santa Barbara County, the sheriff noted that since Prop.  passed, bookings at County Jail have fallen 50 percent. The number of people locked up here has dropped to levels last seen before the state enacted realignment, which moved many prison inmates to jails, in 2011. That year, the jail housed an average of 899 offenders. In 2012, the number jumped to 981, and then 1,002 the next year. Last year, the average dropped to 967. And the first three months of 2015 have brought even lower figures: 798 in January, 854 in February, and 842 in March.

The reductions attracted the supervisors’ attention and caused the sheriff to reduce his projected bed count for the entire jail system when the new facility opens. He had previously estimated a need for 1,200 total beds, split evenly between the Main Jail on Calle Real and the new complex outside Santa Maria. But at Monday’s meeting, he said 900 beds would be a better estimate, with 300 housed in South County and 600 housed in North County.

Fewer beds, however, likely won’t mean fewer dollars to operate the facilities. Brown succeeded in scoring $120 million in construction funds for the North County Jail composed of a 376bed main portion and a 228-bed treatmentfocused wing. But hanging over the county, and underlying most of the supervisors’ comments on Monday, has been how to cover the operating costs.

At the existing jail, the cost to lock up 900 inmates and pay its 221-member staff is $41.3 million per year. With the new jail combined with the existing jail, housing those same 900 inmates will require 330 staff and $58.7 million.

Since 2011-2012, the county’s finance gurus have been setting aside increases in property-tax revenue, building up to have enough to make up that $17.3 million difference. (The 228-bed wing won’t open until 2019.) The cost of the inmateto-staffing ratio will “dramatically” increase at the Main Jail once the new complex opens, county staff said Monday.

If the proverbial camel’s back was already bent as Monday’s hearing continued, it broke when Sheriff Brown asked for funding for a fulltime lieutenant to man the department’s aviation unit — a position that supervisors Wolf and Lavagnino said the sheriff had already assured them had been filled. (The aviation unit also recently attracted the board’s ire for roundabout donations made by the Wood-Claeyssens Foundation to the nonprofit that supports the unit.)

“When I saw this, I thought, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’ ” Wolf said to Brown. “It’s numbers that aren’t jiving. Don’t wordsmith,” she continued, “just tell it to us straight so we know what we’re dealing with.”

Lavagnino was tweaked to the point of alludcont’d page 15 ing to a full hold on the

Considerably fewer people showed up to Isla Vista’s sixth annual Deltopia street party this weekend, but the number of arrests (102) and citations (140) were close to last year’s figures when rioters chucked bricks and bottles at cops firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Saturday’s attendance peaked at around 10,000 and thinned to approximately 500 by 9:30 p.m.

Students discouraged out-of-towners from traveling to I.V., UCSB hosted a number of alternative on-campus events, high school principals advised teens to stay away, authorities enacted a new noise ordinance, and parking was severely restricted. Last year, the crowd swelled to nearly 25,000 people.

Los Alamos standoff suspect Ronald Carrari, 56, was re-arrested last week for threatening the same family member he fought with during last month’s incident that closed sections of Highway 101 for hours. On 3/29, Carrari reportedly placed a shrine with threatening messages and images of the family member on the 300 block of Bell Street, where the relative was at the time.

He was arrested on charges of making criminal threats and violating a court order and was booked into County Jail at $1 million bail.

A Santa Maria jury on 4/3 returned a guilty verdict in a deadly DUI case from 2012.

With California leaving its alleged rainy season in the rearview mirror with precious little precipitation to show for it — despite this week’s celestial drool — Governor Jerry Brown has ordered all state water agencies to cut back consumption by at least 25 percent. Area water agencies — with the exception of Montecito — have been asking their customers to cut back by 20 percent since early last spring. Most had already planned to declare a Stage III drought early this May, but the governor’s edict will bump conservation goals by an additional 5 percent.

Four years into the worst drought in recorded California history, Brown’s action was triggered in part by record-breaking low snowpack readings in the Sierra mountains — only 5 percent of normal. Snowpack is the key water source for the state in general but especially for major irrigation infrastructure like the State Water Project. While it remains premature to say with certainty, many area water directors anticipate getting absolutely no state water deliveries next year. That would be a historic fi rst. The announcement that no water will be available from Lake Cachuma as of this October is likewise historically unprecedented.

In addition, Brown and the State Legislature announced $1 billion in emergency drought relief funding would be made available to state water agencies. Much of this funding had already been secured by bond initiatives previously approved by state voters, but under the terms of the announcement, the money will be made available sooner.

With the declaration of Stage III droughts, area water agencies will declare mandatory prohibitions on outdoor water use, not just the voluntary restrictions sought until now.

The enforcement requirements triggered by Stage III is something most agencies are loath to embrace, and most have sought to avoid the significant political heartburn that comes with serious enforcement efforts.

To date, the City of Santa Barbara has received 1,082 complaints of water wasting. Of those, 57 were deemed without merit, 829 were resolved, 10 notices of violation were issued, but no fines imposed. Nearly 200 are still under review. The Goleta Water District has investigated 257 such complaints; four notices of violation have been issued, and two — Nick Welsh customers have been fined.

Sojourner Kincaid Rolle (pictured above), a longtime mainstay of Santa Barbara’s arts, literary, and social justice community, was proclaimed the poet laureate for the City of Santa Barbara. The largely ceremonial, two-year position was created in 2005 to integrate the sideways slant of poetic interpretation into civic affairs. Rolle, an African American, has been bearing poetic witness to many of the issues roiling Santa Barbara’s collective heart for at least three decades. She is the city’s sixth poet laureate. On Tuesday, she thanked the council for her appointment. And wearing a garland of leaves around her head, she read her new poem, “The Song of Santa Barbara.” The position carries with a stipend of $1,000 but no free parking.

BY K E L S E Y B R U G G E R ust before Isla Vistans took to the streets to celebrate Deltopia, the latest legislative effort to establish a governing mechanism in Isla Vista received another unforgiving review from Santa Barbara’s Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), a board of seven city, county, and special district representatives.

Last week’s meeting echoed previous ones, as commissioners voiced qualms about Assemblymember Das Williams’s bill, AB , which seeks to establish a community service district (CSD) in the unincorporated college town.

The LAFCO board voted 6-1 to oppose the bill unless it’s amended.

Commissioners’ biggest beef with AB  is that it would bypass their agency, which was set up decades ago by the state to implement special districts. And those special districts, they argued, do not contain the array of services outlined in this bill, such as a tenant mediation program, planning commission, parking district, police officers, and graffiti abatement.

The bill, commissioners emphasized, also fails to spell out key details; for instance, is a special district even financially feasible? To study the money, a host of organizations — a private donor, Fund for Santa Barbara, UCSB Foundation, and Associated Students (AS) — are expected to contribute to a $70,000 analysis

by Economic & Planning Systems, the firm that completed one for Goleta’s cityhood in 2001.

It remains to be seen how much sway LAFCO’s formal opposition will have in the State Legislature. State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, who has worked in unison with Williams on gun-control legislation following the Isla Vista shootings and on efforts to address sexual assaults on community college campuses, said the bill had a number of aspects — boundaries, board makeup, and the feasibility study — that are important to determine before she takes a position. “Generally speaking, I support selfgovernance,” Jackson said.“With its history, [Isla Vista] is a stepchild. Nobody wants responsibility for it. The area has been crying out for some type of recognition for decades.”

Jackson lauded the public process set up by Williams’s office; one or two community meetings have taken place weekly over the past four months. At them, the details have been deliberated — special district boundaries, governing body size and makeup (elected or appointed), types of taxes, and provided services. Some CSD skeptics who attended regularly have petered independent.com

off, but Williams said momentum for the CSD has grown since the process began.

Another crucial question remains on incorporating UCSB into district boundaries. AB  supporters think doing so could potentially oblige the university financially in exchange for an appointed board seat. But such an arrangement, claim others, could give the university — which has historically turned a blind eye to the town — too much say. On Thursday, a few LAFCO commissioners called on UCSB to formally partake in AB  discussions.

For its part, the university foundation’s Board of Trustees funded an extensive study of I.V. last summer and drafted 20 pages of recommendations. Topping the list was the establishment of a CSD. Since then, a chancellor’s committee has met regularly to gather information on I.V. issues.

As written, the legislation retains I.V.’s Recreation and Park District, which generates about $1.36 million annually from a mix of property taxes and a special tax based on number of bedrooms. Should the bill be signed into law, taxes to support the CSD must be approved by twothirds of residents. Currently, a Utility Users Tax, a sales tax, or a Transient Occupancy Tax are all on the table. LAFCO executive director Paul Hood called the sales-tax option unprecedented as it is typically reserved for cities or counties.

Attempts at cityhood for Isla Vista failed three times in the ’70s and ’80s, and advocates blame LAFCO for blocking those efforts. In 1972, a state bill for the creation of an Isla Vista College Community Services District was signed into law, but the special district never formed. At the time, it lacked popular support because organizers favored cityhood, according to longtime housing advocate Frank Thompson, who arrived in I.V. in 1974 as a 17-year-old UCSB student. “In 1973, the community was totally in love with being a city,” Thompson said.

Hot-button issues then were rent control and police towers, he added.

That Isla Vista’s student population only stays for a few years is often noted as a hindrance to change. Many students engaged in AB  are not seniors, noted Cameron Schunk, attending the talks as AS Local Affairs external vice president. Schunk graduates in June, but he plans to stay for some time as he has put a whole lot of “blood, sweat, and tears into this process,” he said.“While individual [students] will come and go, the student population will stay for decades.”

BY T Y L E R H AY D E N or some, the Santa Barbara NewsPress has been a scary place to work during the last 10 years. Under the ownership of Wendy McCaw and a relentless stream of firings, quittings, and union-busting, its once-active newsroom has been mostly whittled down to a skeleton crew of interns and greenhorns. And last March, the paper fired one of its last remaining veterans, who is now suing the paper for wrongful termination.

Mike Eliason claims he was dismissed because he filed a complaint with Cal/OSHA over unhealthy working conditions at the paper’s De la Guerra Plaza offices. The lawsuit says there has been little to no upkeep at the historic building since McCaw’s company, Ampersand Publishing, bought it in 2000. As a result, the suit states, it has deteriorated into a crumbly, musty mess of water damage, mold, and bad ventilation.

Eliason, an award-winning News-Press photographer for nearly 25 years, said he recently became bothered by a persistent cough at his desk and that he made repeated requests to his supervisors that the clogged vents and mildewed carpet near his work space be cleaned.

The Trust for Public Land unveiled plans at Tuesday’s City Council meeting to buy the 15-acre parcel of environmentally challenged, hot-button real estate known as Veronica Meadows — located near Arroyo Burro Beach alongside Las Positas Road — and turn it over to the City of Santa Barbara. Proposals to convert what had long been undeveloped Mark Lee brush and trails into an upscale residential subdivision were first introduced by owner Mark Lee in 1999 and quickly evolved into an environmental cause célèbre.

In 2006, the City Council approved Lee’s plans to build 25 homes with an entrance bridge crossing Arroyo Burro Creek near Elings Park. But the Urban Creeks Council and Citizens Planning Association challenged that approval in the courts and won. Because the entrance bridge crossed over a small chunk of undeveloped land previously gifted to the city as parkland, Judge Thomas Anderle ruled Santa Barbara’s charter required the public easement be put to a vote of the people. In November 2012, Lee’s proposal went down to crushing defeat, losing by a margin of two-to-one.

In the past 18 months, Lee and the Trust for Public Land have been hammering out terms and conditions of a deal. The land will be made available to the trust for $4 million, assuming the trust can raise the money within the next nine months. Thus far, the trust has secured a $500,000 grant and has applications worth another $800,000 pending.

Assuming the deal is consummated, the land would be transferred to the City of Santa Barbara, which owns six acres of adjoining undeveloped property. The Creeks Division would be responsible for clearing and restoring Arroyo Burro, a major watershed leading to Hendry’s Beach. And already the Public Works Department is actively exploring plans to build a new bike path along a length of the property.

In hindsight, the outcome appears almost preordained, a classic move from the environmental playbook of delay, deny, then buy. But for Eddie Harris, who led the charge for the Urban Creeks Council, the outcome was both satisfying and surprising.

“Usually, it’s the developers who wear us out,” he said. “This was an amazing turnabout.”

Harris praised the “smart lawyering” that forced the 2012 ballot measure and expressed optimism that the land — the last major undeveloped parcel abutting a creek in city limits — can be restored as a meaningful wildlife corridor. Mayor Helene Schneider and councilmembers Bendy White and Cathy Murillo, who led the charge against the project — Nick Welsh as elected officials, praised the outcome.

Something Wicked This Way Came

K

enneth Kasten Rasmuson (pictured), the first “sexually violent predator” to be released in Santa Barbara County, was arrested this week in Idaho after authorities connected him to the 1981 strangulation death of a 6-year-old Anaheim boy. Just months after Rasmuson allegedly killed young Jeffrey Vargo, he raped an 11-year-old victim on September 2, 1981, in the City of Santa Barbara. News reports at the time said Rasmuson lured the boy into a gully near Las Positas Road by asking for his help finding a lost dog. After the boy told police what had happened, Rasmuson, 19 at the time and working at Domino’s Pizza, was found lurking near the Youth Football League fields. He served time in prison and in Atascadero State Hospital until April 1985.

Under California’s Sexually Violent Predators (SVP) Act, persons designated SVP can be confined to a mental hospital indefinitely, even after they have completed their prison sentence, until it is determined that they are not likely to re-offend. The definition of “likely” remains open to much debate. Rasmuson was considered a “star patient” at Atascadero and released after a board of mental health experts declared he was no longer a threat. By Rasmuson’s own account, he molested several children over the next two years before he was arrested again in 1987, this time for raping a 3-year-old in Los Angeles. He served 17 years in prison and was once more transferred to Atascadero.

At the hospital, Rasmuson started taking an antiandrogen drug called Lupron that reduced his sex drive to a level simulating castration, and he participated in intensive therapy. As a

result, the Atascadero psychiatrists noted in their reports, Rasmuson’s arousal in response to stimulation depicting young boys, especially violent sexual encounters with young boys, was greatly diminished.

Rasmuson was released in Santa Barbara in November 2007. Under the watch of Liberty Healthcare agents contracted by the state Department of Mental Health and assigned to guard him 24 hours a day, Rasmuson was transported to the Super 8 Motel on Hollister Avenue. Over the next couple of years, he registered as a Santa Barbara County sex offender and a transient, and he had difficulty finding a permanent address at least 2,000 feet from a school or park.

In March 2009, Rasmuson moved into a home northeast of Lompoc above the La Purisima Golf Course. He lived there for some time — how long isn’t clear — before bouncing around the state, moving to Oregon and Washington, and eventually settling in Idaho in 2010.

Rasmuson has yet to enter a plea to his murder charge; he is reportedly not fighting extradition to California.

North County Jail plans. “I’ve probably been the biggest supporter of the North County Jail. [But] I’m not actually prepared to move any further on any of it until we get hard-andfast numbers,” he said. “We have to trust what you’re telling us. I can’t go from one meeting and come into the next meeting and have two different stories.”

Brown tried to share in Wolf and Lavagnino’s concerns. “I think the reality is we’re all frustrated,” he said, prompting Wolf to point to reduced inmate populations and questions over the need for more jail space. “One thing that’s so interesting is that the number of inmates in our jail is down. We should be celebrating that,” she said. Interrupting Wolf, Brown said, “We’re certainly pleased that the numbers are down. We’re not certain they’re going to stay down.” Throughout Monday’s meeting, the supervisors and sheriff frequently

spoke over each other, at one point pushing Supervisor Adam to say, “Dude, I really wish you wouldn’t talk over me.”

How the supervisors feel about the jail project will again be on display at their April 21 meeting, when they’ll discuss the project’s bidding process. County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni said the county could completely pull the plug after going out for bids but only before a contract is awarded. The Sheriff ’s Office will also come back with more figures at that April meeting. Brown’s right-hand man, Undersheriff Barney Melekian, said the department will “do a better job” at making its case.

In making her remarks to the Sheriff, Farr echoed her colleagues’ calls for a more detailed plan, noting in particular the salary costs.“I’m very uncomfortable,” she said. “We’re asked to make firm commitments now. Once we com■ mit, we’ve committed.”

Opinions I SPEED UP FOR CYCLISTS: The late, great astronomer Galileo was excommunicated from The Church and tossed into jail for insisting the Earth revolves around the sun, not the other way

around. For this, he will forever be revered as a martyr to science. Except Galileo got it wrong.

The Earth revolves around me. At least it ought to. Provoking such self-infatuated exaltations was the discussion this week in front of the City Council about the vast outreach efforts about to unfold to take the public’s collective “temperature” when it comes to the role the bicycle should play in the city’s transportation future.

Given that bicycles are involved, perhaps a rectal thermometer would be in order. And given the apoplectic howling from a tiny coterie of activists championing the primacy of the automobile, one might think such a measuring device had already been inserted.

When it comes to expanding opportunities for cycling, my quick-twitch, knee-jerk tendencies have been exposed and confessed long ago: Because I ride, so too should everybody else.

But even I felt some discomfort with the gloppy lingo deployed by the L.A.-based consultants hired to lead this charge. Not content merely to hold public meetings and conduct polls — too prosaic and mundane, I guess — they will instead be blasting, flyering, and engaging in what was described as high-tech, high-touch road-show outreach. They’ll host “neighborhood summits” instead of all the humdrum forums we’re accustomed to. They’ll provide

angry poodle barbecue

Car Chasing the Dog online interactive maps allowing respondents to point out specific stretches of street that could be made more bike-friendly. Such exchanges they’ve dubbed “share-abouts.” Despite this nomenclature — too artisanally cute and curated for its own good — some of this info could actually prove useful.

Most incensed by pretty much everything was Tom Becker, who singlehandedly makes up half the membership of Cars Are Basic. I suspect he also makes up the same fraction of a new group calling itself the Automotive Coalition.

At the podium, Becker comes across as a human flamethrower set for maximum incineration, his hair a thatch of windswept prairie grass. About the nicest words he had for the outreach effort, the bike master plan, and city traffic planners engaged in it were “fraud,” “garbage,” and “nonsense.” I couldn’t tell whether to give Becker a big hug or call a medic. As usual, I did nothing.

For 40 years, Becker contends, City Hall has been providing bike lanes and other feel-good accommodations for Santa Barbara’s pampered, entitled, and otherwise ungrateful cyclists. And for 40 years — he maintains — the cyclists have been staying away. To carve out any more road space for cyclists, he contends, will be a waste of resources and be accomplished only at great expense and inconvenience to motorists.

To the extent reliable numbers exist, however, they tell a starkly different story. Taken in their totality, these numbers strongly indicate that the number of people riding their bikes to and from work — as opposed to the spandex coffee-

shop crowd — in the City of Santa Barbara has been increasing steadily and significantly over the past 15 years. What they clearly demonstrate — where cyclists are concerned — is that even if you don’t build it, they come anyway. The $64 million question, of course, is, If you did build it, how many more might come along for the ride? The trick of course is making riders feel safe. This can be accomplished only one way: by making them safe, factually and actually.

Therein, naturally, lies the rub.

Let’s dispense with the numbers. According to the U.S. Census, 3.4 percent of all city residents commuted by bike in 2000. According to a supplemental Census report in 2012, that number had jumped to 6.9 percent. Because of the much smaller sample size of the latter report, there are reliability issues. To address these, number crunchers take the average of the five supplemental reports issued between 2008 and 2012. That result is that 5.8 percent of city residents commute by bike to work, a 71 percent increase. Compared to state and national averages — both roughly one percent — our numbers are great. Compared to what they could be, they’re pathetic. Why pathetic?

Countywide, 134,000 commuters still drive to work alone. Of these, 43 percent have drive times of 15 minutes or less. If even a small chunk of these opted for the bipedal express, it might make a huge difference in terms of road congestion. Back in 1990, there were roughly 500 million motor vehicles on the planet. In 2011, we exceeded the one billion mark. You don’t need a

PhD to understand that’s the wrong direction.

It’s well and good to blame the nefarious Koch brothers for everything wrong on the planet, but Climate Weirdness begins at home.

The other dynamic is this: The safer roads get, the more people ride. And conversely the more people ride, the safer the roads get.

Right now, Santa Barbara ranks fourth highest among the 102 California cities with populations between 60,000-100,000 in terms of bike collisions serious enough for police reports to be filed. No matter how you cut the number, that’s a dubious distinction. The good news is our bicycle death rate — 16 per million people, according to the CHP — is among the lowest in the state. The Cars Are King and DoNothing crowds contend these collision stats look far worse than they actually are. If the number of vehicle miles the growing number of Santa Barbara cyclists travel were factored into the equation, they point out, our relative ranking would be much lower. They are, of course, absolutely correct. But that distinction will be of cold comfort to the absolute number of cyclists getting hurt because basic bicycle infrastructure hasn’t kept pace with ridership or even changed appreciably in the past 40 years. Last I checked, broken bones and broken teeth don’t mend on any relative curve.

Don’t get me wrong; I like cars fine. They’re monstrous miracles. Maybe they’re miraculous monsters. Cars are a lot of amazing things. One thing they’re not is basic.

Francis Walter Rowbottam // – //

Our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and husband, Frank Rowbottam, was born to Evelyn and Walter Rowbottam in London, England, in , and was the first of four children. He and his family came to the U.S. in  on the Aquitania when his parents feared the outbreak of war in England. The family settled in Santa Barbara based on a glowing recommendation by a fellow passenger onboard ship. Once settled, Frank moved to Los Angeles to find work, and there he met his loving, future wife, Evelyn. After they married, he was drafted into the U.S. Army Air Corp. Ironically, he was sent back to England to proudly serve as a bomb-site and automatic pilot instructor as WWII unfolded. He received his citizenship at the U.S. Embassy in London during that time.

Once the war was over, Frank returned to the U.S., and he and Evelyn began building a life together. He began his career as engineer and product designer for a firm that designed and manufactured school and institutional furniture. He subsequently started his own business becoming a pioneer in the aluminum sliding glass door and window industry. During this time, Frank and Evelyn built their first home in Palos Verdes Estates, where they lived with their two children for seventeen years. Eventually, he had the opportunity to return to Santa Barbara, where the rest of his family lived, taking a job as a designer for a consultant design company, a move which was never regretted.

Frank was an independent thinker and an avid reader and was always well informed. At age , he was using his iPhone and iPad up until his health declined this year, and was always as interested in figuring out how the technologies worked, as he was in using them. Besides possessing extraordinary business and mechanical skills, he was an inventor with several patented

inventions, an artist, a photographer, and a woodworker with the ambition and knowledge that enabled him to build and handcarve many pieces of furniture for his home. He was a member of the Cosmopolitan Club, as well as the Santa Barbara Elks, but most importantly, he enjoyed being involved with his family.

During their  years of marriage, Evelyn and Frank traveled throughout the United States and to many other areas of the world, either in their RV, by renting cars in out- of- the way areas, or taking tours. They had innumerable exciting experiences together.

Frank was a model of integrity, honesty, and strength. He was warm and loving, with a great sense of humor and an insatiable curiosity, and people were drawn to him, never failing to comment on the English accent that lingered. He leaves behind his wife of  years, Evelyn; his son, John (Jamee); his daughter, Kris Zapata (Bob); two grandchildren, Mike Zapata (Julianna) and Nicole Williams (Bret); as well as six great-grandchildren. He also leaves his surviving sister, Eileen Morton (Jim) and their families, as well as other family (nieces and nephews) and extended family too numerous to list. His brother, John, and sister, Margaret, predeceased him. He loved all of his family dearly.

We wish to thank all of the doctors who have been involved in the care of Frank this past year, as well as nurses and staff at Valle Verde, Cottage Hospital, and Serenity House, for their support and kindness. As per his wishes, no formal service will be held, but please honor him in your thoughts and memories. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care (www. vnhcsb.org) would help towards providing comfort and care for many.

Frank’s many contributions and his love for his family will live on in our memories forever.

Jonee Grat // – //

Jonee Grat, , of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away peacefully on March , , surrounded by her family and friends.

Born on August , , in Bruneau, Idaho, to Joseph and Hermina Harley, Jonee was one of seven children. The early years of her life were spent in Bruneau and later Boise, Idaho. At age , after receiving her nursing certification from Mercy Hospital in Nampa, Idaho, she joined the United States Air Force as a registered nurse.

While stationed at Anderson Air Force Base on Guam, she met a dashing young navigator from Depew, New York. Eleven days after finally agreeing to his fourth request for a date, she was engaged to Edwin Grat, and they were married on June , , in El Paso, Texas.

After leaving the Air Force, Jonee and Ed moved to California in  and began their life in the Golden State by building their first home in Santa Ynez.

Jonee always loved children, and in , she and Ed adopted their daughter, Amy. Two years later, they adopted their twin sons Matthew and Andrew.

In  the Grats moved down the hill to Goleta and soon ended up in Santa Barbara, where they made their residence for the next  years. Jonee welcomed the world into her home, and thanks to her generous hospitality and fine cooking skills, the door was always open to friends from near and far.

Besides being mother to her three adopted children, Jonee was “mom” to many others from as far away as Japan, Germany, Spain and Brazil. We share our loss especially with our Spanish “hermano” Jorge Ibanez and his family. Jonee’s warm smile, sparkling eyes and willingness to share a beer will be deeply missed by her friends and family around the world.

Over the course of her career, Jonee’s nursing skills were well used at Rochester University

Hospital, St. Francis Hospital, and Cottage Hospital. She also provided care and comfort as a hospice nurse and regularly volunteered with the Red Cross. Less officially, she was always ready for scraped knees and bumped heads at school, on field trips and at summer camps.

Jonee is survived by her husband of  years, Edwin Grat; her daughter, Amy Grat; her sons Andrew and Matthew Grat; four grandchildren, and her sister, Erma Rae Kane.

A Celebration of Life will take place on April  at : p.m. at Vista Del Monte Retirement Community’s Main Lounge ( Modoc Road). All are welcome to attend and celebrate Jonee’s wonderful presence in our lives. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The Fact Foundation (www.frontporch.net).

Warren Paul “Doc” Berry // – //

Doc was born July , , in Lincoln, Nebraska. The family moved to Estes Park, Colorado, and then to Santa Barbara when Doc was in the sixth grade. He attended Dolores Elementary School and Santa Barbara Catholic High School (now Bishop Diego High School). Doc played varsity basketball with his good friends Lee Beckom and Ed De Ia Torre under coach Bob Morelli.

In their senior year, , the team made the school’s first trip to the CIF finals. That same year, Doc was elected student-body president and played for the school’s first-ever tennis team. He attended UCSB and graduated in  with degrees in English and political science. He received a master’s degree in political science two years later. During both high school and college, Doc worked long hours for Jordana’s, where his mother, Helen, was also employed.

In , Doc moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, where he began his long career as a popular teacher at the prestigious Punahou School. He taught several different courses, including English

and economics. He created a then-unique course titled Novel and Film. He filled in as coach for the boys’ tennis team when he was needed for that position. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Doc was an author, editor, speaker, and documentary film producer. Doc’s many interests included golf, tennis, reading, films, and travel. During his more than fifty years in Hawaii, Doc was active in civic, environmental, and sustainability matters. He was recognized for these tireless efforts when Governor Neil Abercrombie proclaimed January , , Paul “Doc” Berry day in the state of Hawaii. John Kay, one of Doc’s many close friends and colleagues, recently shared his view of Doc’s life: “Doc lived a life full of worthwhile activities and a life filled with friends.”

Doc Berry died at home in Kaneohe, Hawaii, on March , , at the age of . His daughter, Nina, was present and spoke Doc’s favorite passage from Shakespeare, Horatio to Hamlet: “Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” Doc Berry was predeceased by his mother, Helen; his sister, Janet; and older brother, Bruce. He is survived by his beloved daughter, Nina, a Punahou graduate and now a successful writer and novelist, residing in the Los Angeles area.

We give special thanks to Bill Metzger and to the support team in Hawaii who worked so hard caring for Doc these past few months. They were aided by the kindness of the members of Hospice. A service is planned for Sunday, April , ,  PM, in the Thurston Memorial Chapel on the Punahou School campus.

Donations may be made to the Berry Endowed Fund, Punahou School, Advancement Departments,  Punahou Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, .

The Real Story Behind

“Fascinating…

The true subject of this unforgettable book is female bonding and the ties that even bars can’t unbind.” People letters

Slippery Slide Zones

R

egarding the Sycamore Canyon homes that can now be rebuilt [independent.com/rebuild], if the city issues building permits for lots it knows to be unsafe, who will be sued when a landslide occurs? What about the house down the hill that the new house slides into? Who knows, Barry Cappello might live there!

Seriously, the city and/or other state or federal agencies that define the slide zone should have acquired the properties after the fire. I imagine there was some dispute over the fair market value, being in a slide zone and all. It’s not as if this were some aesthetic or zoning-density issue, though — if the land is unsafe, it should not be developed.

Period. Either way, good luck to the new homeowners in — Gerry DeWitt, S.B. finding insurance!

Glass Half Full

G

overnor Brown has declared a severe drought emergency and will mandate a 25 percent cutback in water usage. This will be a challenge for homeowners, businesses, and municipalities, but it presents an opportunity for those of us in the landscaping profession.

Some hundreds of acres of lawn will be removed and replaced with drought-tolerant plants. That’s a lot of paying work. Gray-water systems will be installed — more work. Roof rainwater collection systems will be installed, and cisterns to store rainwater will be installed. More efficient drip irrigation systems will be installed. There is honest money to be made.

Other businesses will benefit, too: nurseries that propagate drought-tolerant plants, companies that sell irrigation supplies, landscape designers who create pleasing lawn-free gardens, and consultants who can coach homeowners in more water-efficient methods.

The small guy with a pickup can sell and spread mulch, because mulch on plant beds saves water. The bigger businesses can lobby and persuade governments to permit more gray-water systems and then install those systems at large business parks.

This severe drought presents a challenge to all Californians, but it’s not all bad news.

Martial Water Law

T

he water situation is already in a moral equivalent of war, which demands martial law, i.e., a superseding, supernumerary control of all state water, private and public, and throwing out water rights to streams and rivers and rights to underlying water. Something like Oregon declaring all beaches were public rights of way.

What is absurd is that almost 40 years have gone by since I attended a workshop sponsored by the very same governor through his Office of Planning and Research.

What has happened in the interim? Time has long gone by for workshops and studies.

So, Jerry, you know where to find me, and I would rather go to jail than pay $500 a day if I take too long a shower or flush before the commode is filled up.

Rape Crisis Center Integrity Defended

I

have been a volunteer with Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center for almost 40 years. This fine organization has served our community with honor and integrity.

The staff, advocates, and volunteers are highly trained people who serve survivors of sexual assault with the highest level of professionalism. They care so much about protecting the confidentiality of their clients that they can’t even make a statement defending themselves when someone accuses them of improper behavior, because they will not break that sacred trust.

The Rape Crisis Center will continue to do the work of educating people about sexual assault, and I will continue to volunteer because I want to honor what they do. April is Sexual Assault Awareness month.

WHEN:

A Great Divide Blinds the Common Good

A

BY JEFFREY MOUALIM

n embattled American president gives an iconic speech to a divided nation. The president, Abraham Lincoln, and the speech, the Emancipation Proclamation, are forged into this country’s history, and over a century and a half later, both are still lauded as a moral epiphany. Yet soon after this famous oratory was delivered, there were those who found the urgency to disagree with its content in the most profane manner.

Editor of Greenport’s Republican Watchman Henry A. Reeves’s response was swift and characterized the backlash of those whose racism was etched permanently in their ethos: “In the name of freedom of Negroes, [the Proclamation] imperils the liberty of white men; to test a utopian theory of equality of races which Nature, History and Experience alike condemn as monstrous, it overturns the Constitution and Civil Laws and sets up Military Usurpation in their Stead.”

Today there is still an element of our society that holds to obdurate beliefs of inferiority of certain races as in Lincoln’s time, and they have brought some issues full circle in race relations. With the first black president in office, what was thought to be a post-racial period in our history has instead emboldened a fiery backlash by political opportunists and previously “in the closet” bigots. From talkshow hosts to elected officials, vile comments about minorities are made with impunity.

Starting with right-wing shock jocks like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, who proclaimed soon after Obama was elected in 2008 that the president hated white people, an egregious trend began that has mushroomed into blaming a young black man (like Trayvon Martin) who wore a “hoodie” to be a villain rather than the murdered victim he was or former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani claiming the president doesn’t love America. And despite what many may see as the absurdities of these charges, surprisingly, this is rather a repetition of a physics axiom: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

President Barack Hussein Obama has won two presidential elections by wide margins, in 2008 and 2012. Still, America in many ways is as divided as it was in Lincoln’s time.

Obama and his family have been targeted by the right and by those with deeply held racial prejudices since he took office. This year, with Congress inviting a foreign leader to speak to a joint session without first consulting the president (as has always been done in the past), Speaker of the House John Boehner did an end run around protocol by inviting Benjamin Netanyahu. The Republican Senate then doubled down on this ostentatious disrespect for Obama when 47 Republican

senators wrote to another foreign leader in an attempt to derail the U.S. and our bilateral partners in nuclear disarmament talks with Iran. What seemed unprecedented and unthinkable, interfering with foreign policy that always is set by the commander-in-chief and his Secretary of State, was done with not only malice to this president but with a zealotry that ignored the long-term damage to the Office of the President.

White and black America have long lived on different planes when it comes to education, opportunity, and treatment in the judicial system. Obama’s story is not only one of overcoming great odds to be a success from his time at Harvard as the editor of the Law Review to a community organizer who rose

From talk-show hosts to elected officials, vile comments about minorities are made with impunity. through the ranks and on to state senator, U.S. senator, and then becoming the first black president; it is a story that should be celebrated and, as President Obama has stated repeatedly, could only happen in the United States.

Republicans are constantly preaching that the greatness of this country lies in the freedom and the ability for anyone to live the American Dream; Barack Obama has indeed done that.

And yet, blinded by a jealousy and primal hatred, the opposition to Obama’s policies has used his race to fester centuries-old bigotry.

By failing to call out racism in their base, they have become an enabler to those would hate Obama for his skin color so fervently that they cannot decipher that programs like the Affordable Care Act, job programs, and raising the minimum wage are policies that are color blind. They help all Americans struggling to even have the audacity to believe there still is an American dream.

The backlash to President Obama in our period of history has been destructive. After 2008 and the worst recession since the Great Depression, America thirsted for hope and positive progress. By casting doubt with innuendo toward race and the lack of moral courage to let voters know that while they may disagree with policies of this president, they would not tolerate racism even if it meant costing votes for themselves, instead the Republicans and the right wing of this country have tried to quench the desire of most Americans to see government be a vehicle toward solutions. And in that process they have lowered the standard of common decency and respect, no matter what future repercussions may come.

Light Up the World

UNITE TO LIGHT: You can do yourself and

the world a favor at the upcoming Earth Day Festival, April 18-19, by buying one or more of these portable solar lights.

You get a tax break, and for every one you buy, one is sent to a needy organization somewhere out there in the world where light isn’t available for homework or other needs, according to Dawn O’Bar, president of the Goleta-based Unite to Light nonprofit (unite-to-light.org).

Unite to Light folks are selling the small size for $20 ($10 is tax deductible) or larger ones that accept cell phone recharge cables for $60 ($30 tax deductible.) They’re handy as bedside lamps, on the road, or camping. I give them as gifts.

IRS GRAB? Whether the IRS will waive part

or all of the estimated $16 million-$18 million that Santa Barbara’s Bellosguardo estate owes remains open to serious question.

Bellosguardo’s board met recently, and some members were reportedly mighty displeased with what they heard about the IRS position.

“I’m not happy about it,” one said.

Just how sharp the IRS ax will be hasn’t been revealed publicly yet. Things are so touchy that the foundation board has contacted a PR firm to handle things when the situation is made public.

The problem is that during copper heiress Huguette Clark’s lifetime, she tossed off multimillion-dollar gifts hither and yon, but

her lawyer and accountant neglected to make sure the taxes were paid.

After she died in 2011, her estate was assessed up to $18 million in penalties. Her summer playground, Bellosguardo, was last in line when it came time to settle the estate. Now it’s stuck with the bill — unless the taxman relents or demands less than the whole enchilada.

N-P WEIGHS IN:

As expected, the Santa Barbara News-Press has appealed the recent National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) ruling accusing it of bad-faith union bargaining.

The N-P lodged its appeal with the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, also not a surprise because that’s the court that kicked out the newsroom union’s last case.

But things have changed on the D.C. court since 2012. Republicans were in the majority then, but Democrats have the edge now.

The three GOP members of that formed the panel that put the kibosh on that NLRB case, regarding in part the firing of union members, are still on the court, however.

The NLRB, of course, is supposed to be nonpartisan, but the way things are in Washington now, and have been for some time, party and political ideology carry weight.

Oddly, one of the new Demo NLRB appointees, Sri Srinivasan, represented the News-Press before the Ninth Circuit court,

which is out here on the West Coast, in a previous but related newsroom union matter.

No doubt he’ll bow out of any consideration of the new charges. More inside baseball: The D.C. court has long been a stepping stone to the U.S. Supreme Court, and Srinivasan has been mentioned as a potential nominee to the high court. (Many are “mentioned”; few are chosen.)

The new case involves the NLRB reissuing a number of charges, including the unlawful firing of newsroom contract negotiator Dennis Moran and termination of columnist Richard Mineards.

In the new case, News-Press owner Wendy McCaw is being represented by union buster attorney Michael Zinser, whom she’d retained in earlier phases of her battle against the newsroom union.

MCCAW MONEY: Presidential candidate (let’s

cut the pretense; he’s running) Jeb Bush hit the ground running in California last week, scooping up bucks.

If Bush turns out to be the GOP nominee, he probably won’t win California’s electoral votes in 2016, but he’s sure harvesting major money now.

Cohosts for a Bel Air fundraiser last week were Montecitans Craig McCaw (Wendy’s ex-husband and worth $1.85 billion) and his wife, Susan McCaw, former ambassador to Austria.

Minimum tab for the reception was $25,000.

He writes online columns and a print column for Thursdays.

BRILLIANT: Unite to Light’s solar-powered LED lamps reach students in countries like Haiti (pictured), where kerosene powers the lights and produces soot and smoke.

Those who also wanted to stay around for dinner were asked to kick in a cool $100,000. No doubt the McCaws could afford to dine with Jeb. PICTURES AND MUSIC:

It’s a novel idea, showing arty films on a large screen while a violinist plays Bach. I don’t know what J.S. would have thought about David Michalek’s slo-mo films shown at the Granada, but Gil Shaham’s artistry exploring Bach’s Six Solos for Violin was of the highest caliber. Thanks to UCSB Arts & Lectures for co-commissioning the program.

Can chewing ice really hurt my teeth?

Yes! We can create up to 300 pounds of force on our teeth when biting down on something hard like ice. The combination of extreme cold and pressure can crack your teeth and injure your gums. Additionally, a craving for ice can be a sign of an iron deficiency.

Teeth suffer cracks simply from everyday use.

Putting unnecessary pressure with a hard substance like ice can create new fractures or make existing fractures worse. Once a tooth is cracked, it cannot repair itself like a broken bone can.

Usually a crown can hold a broken tooth together.

At times, the fracture may irritate the nerve of a tooth, causing the nerve to die. When this occurs, a root canal must be done to try to save the tooth.

If the crack is severe, the tooth may be unsaveable and need to be removed.

Cracked teeth can be sensitive to pressure or temperatures. If you experience these symptoms, schedule an appointment with your dentist for an evaluation.

“Triumphant...A Stirring Call To Action” –Indiewire In 2014, the White House released guidelines on how campuses should deal with issues of sexual assault and, in a move that continues to make waves, also disclosed the names of 55 schools – from Harvard to UC Berkeley – that were under investigation for their handling of rape accusations. Since it is estimated that 1 in 5 college women will be sexually assaulted during college, the way in which universities handle these cases has become a source of intense scrutiny and controversy.

From the makers of Academy Award-nominated The Invisible War comes a startling exposé of sexual assault on U.S. college campuses, their institutional cover-ups, and the devastating toll they take on students and their families. www.thehuntinggroundfilm.com

Not What You Think

P

eople go to therapy for two basic reasons: They are in distress (due to a multitude of causes ranging from stress and disappointment to trauma or mental illness) or they want to take a closer look at their lives — to figure things out and to grow. “Therapy” is a word that often scares people off, and I’d like to briefly discuss why, with the intention of softening some of the stigma and encouraging those who could benefit from counseling to be more open to it.

Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch “When I design a product,” said Sam Guzmán, “I want to be able to show it in its own context as well as have it available to the public.”

Guzmán is the owner and creator of Stabiles, a mobile Santa Barbara boutique that sells sustainable products hand-crafted by small-batch artisans. Guzmán began the project a year and a half ago with his own candle and air plant stands, but quickly branched out into showcasing other artists in a boutique that can go anywhere. The truck, which took him two months to design and build, can usually be found around Santa Barbara, but he’s also traveled to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and elsewhere. ”Part of the experience of this is the serendipity,” said Guzmán. “It’s still so new that people are excited when they find us!”

gent, a show of weakness, and a waste of time. It’s true in most cases that you have to be open to something for it to help you.

Meeting Raptors Spirit of Fiesta Nothing says “viva la” quite like the rhythmic tap and snap of Fiesta’s flamenco dancers — for five August days, they stir the musical soul of the city like no one else. Before the good times begin, though, the festival organizers must select this year’s Spirits, and the public is invited to watch. The upcoming 2015 Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta auditions will take place on Saturday, April 18, at noon, in the La Cumbre Junior High School auditorium (2255 Modoc Rd.).

Tickets are $25 and include admittance to the post-audition reception at historic El Paseo Restaurant from 2-5 p.m., where attendants can eat, drink, and mingle with the n e w l y a n o i nt e d Spirits and audition participants to the tune of live Lia Parker, the first Spirit music.

Auditions

A couple of times a year, the community gets the unique opportunity for an eye-level look at the alpha dogs (so to speak) of the sky, thanks to the Ojai Raptor Center’s (ORC) open house. The center is home to eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls that have been injured in the wild and need rehabilitation. While many return to the thermals, some of the birds live out their lives at the ORC because their injuries are too severe to survive in the wild. Those raptors get the status of “ambassador” and participate with their handlers in educational events. Visitors to this week’s open house will meet the newest member of the ORC educational team, a broad-winged hawk. In addition, Dolly, resident condor from the Los Angeles Zoo, will make a special appearance with her handler, Mike Clark. There will also activities for children, a silent auction, and a chance to participate in the release of a raptor. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase.

The event takes place Sunday, April 12, noon-4 p.m., at the Ojai Raptor Center’s Rehabilitation Center (370 Baldwin Rd., Ojai). A donation of $5 is suggested. For more information, call 649-6884 or visit ojairaptorcenter.org.

Why Pay a Stranger? “I get enough good advice from my friends/ partner/mom. Why should I pay a stranger?” One big difference between a therapist and friend, however, is that your therapist’s utmost consideration is you: your well-being, needs, and expression. Your therapy is about you, and a good therapist will not make her concerns yours.

—Richie DeMaria

All good therapists understand the standards, ethics, education, training, and parameters required by the profession, but there are as many ways to practice therapy as there are therapists under the sun.

The best therapists are “client-centered,” which means they adjust their approach and style based on what is most nourishing and effective for each particular client.

So let a seed be planted that there are qualified people available to — Joy Nickinson listen to you if you don’t know where to turn.

A Bad Experience. A negative therapy experience with a previous therapist can make a person think that all therapy experiences will be bad. However, good therapists are in the business of repair, and a new therapist can help clients resolve their feelings about what went wrong before, so new work can be done.

ore reviews for National Poetry Month …

Anne Carson, Short Talks:

Brick Books has reprinted an early work by Canada’s most famous (and famously enigmatic) poet. As Margaret Christakos puts it in her insightful introduction, Anne Carson’s Short Talks “presents 45 small taut rectangles of poetic address that each frame a seismic smithering of the human condition.” Beautiful, sometimes baffling, brilliant.

Kathleen Jamie, The Overhaul:

Ospreys and sheep shearers, abandoned lighthouses and rocky coasts, “gale-force easters” and the half-wilderness of “some auld fairmer’s / shelter belt” inhabit the world of Scottish poet Kathleen Jamie.

The Overhaul is a short book but better for its brevity — each image carefully chosen, each phrase redolent of sea air.

David Roderick, The Americans:

It’s extraordinarily difficult to juggle the often competing demands of beauty and the avant-garde, but David Roderick somehow manages the trick, especially in a series of searing, sardonic poems titled “Dear Suburb,” where “The dead return / as lampposts, gas guzzlers, // gnats frenzied / in a laptop’s moonish glow.”

Alice Fulton, Barely Composed:

“While you’re alive there’s no time / for minor amazements,” Alice Fulton writes in “Wow Moment,” but that’s a deeply ironic statement. Barely Composed consists mostly of “minor amazements” glimpsed through eyes of a poet who seems more comfortable with ennui and despair, who is “well // below the waves.”

Richard Garcia, The Chair: The titles of the prose poems in Richard Garcia’s new collection suggest something of the book’s surreal and whimsical contents: “The Poker-Playing Dog Poetry Workshop,” “The Pencil of Transubstantiation,” “The Case of the Disappearing Blondes.”

“The Aftermath sat in a corner,” Garcia writes. “No one spoke to it. The nerve.”

Michael Robbins, The Second Sex:

In the pun-mad world of contemporary poetry, Michael Robbins is surely king.

Robbins is also expert at ringing new and sardonic changes on rhyme, as in “Country Music,” where he writes: “God bless the midnight bus depot,/ the busted guitar case. / God bless diazepam, / its dilatory grace.”

which is made Purslane primarily from aloe vera. The distiller’s website says that aloe vera is not an agave, as many expect, but rather a succulent lily. They also suggest cocktail recipes that mix melons, citruses, and other alcohols — like sparkling wine and absinthe — with Chareau to create intoxicants so elegant that they are to be served with edible flower ice cubes.

Foster admitted that succulents may still be underappreciated for their edible value, but he added a warning to any garden or wilderness foragers hoping to add a little something special to their next cooking experiment. “Many plants make alkaloids as a defense,” said Foster, a chemist. “They can either mechanically keep things away by virtue of thorns or other structures, or they can make their own poison. That’s why the incidence of toxic plants exceeds that of edibles.”

Russell furthers this idea by offering sound advice to those more confident succulent samplers. “To go out and just chomp on any succulent is not recommended. You want to make sure you’re eating things that are healthful for you, not just novelties,” she said.

As with all edible plants, it is important to use correct identification methods and to make sure that anything you plan to eat is generally recognized as safe for consumption. It is also important to realize that individuals may react differently to certain plants.

However, with creativity reigning in the modern kitchen and cooks looking for ways to diversify their tables with unusual tastes and decorative garnishes, they might not need to go farther than an exploration of — Carolina Starin a succulent garden.

Carp Cousins Create Clothing Line

f you really put your head to something, and you’re not afraid of failing and learning from your mistakes, you can do anything,” said Joah Brown of her blooming apparel business.

Brown, along with her cousin Sydney Brown Wagner and boyfriend Brian Vaccarino, started out making simple handmade headbands; now the trio are owners of the JOAH BROWN (joahbrown .com) clothing line, available on their website and in stores across the United States and even a few other countries.

With her future unclear after graduation from high school, Brown began waitressing. After several years in the service industry, however, she decided to pursue a career in fashion, which had always been one of her passions. She moved to the L.A. area, dabbling in retail jobs and management positions before becoming a buyer for a sports club line. Though Brown enjoyed being a part of the clothing industry, she disliked working for other people. “I’ve always had a strong understanding of branding and fashion and trends while keeping it classic at the same time,” she said.

So Brown started her own business creating the aforementioned hand-sewn headbands, which quickly gained popularity, getting featured on various websites and ordered by several stores. Brown’s cousin happened to be visiting Southern California as the headbands took off and decided to move to Carp, where Brown was living, to help.

Together, they created a website, and though they were successful, the duo desired more for their brand and the future of their company. “The headbands took off, but headbands are a trend,” Brown explained. “We said ‘We have to do our own clothes.’ We can sell clothes for years and years, and that’s where our passion really was.”

The cousins then created JOAH BROWN, a line that speaks to their

personal tastes — exercise and a healthy lifestyle — that works well for athletics but also can be considered everyday wear. For example, their items — which currently consist mainly of T-shirts, tank tops, cardigans, and accessories — pair well with yoga pants but also can be EVERYDAY WEAR: JOAH BROWN specializes in T-shirts, tank tops, worn to more formal occasions and cardigans (pictured: Soleil Carwith some heels and black digan in black). skinny jeans. “We really wanted to pick pieces of clothing that would be in your closet 10 years from now,” Brown explained.

As their success grew, Brown’s boyfriend,Vaccarino, joined the duo to help with sales and business development. The three taught themselves about every aspect of owning and running their own business, as none had previous experience in manufacturing, shipping, or operating a website. “We really pride ourselves on our work — from developing the line to the branding to the website, it just speaks volumes,” said Brown.

After two years of hard work and determination, JOAH BROWN is now carried in about 100 stores across the country and abroad — ranging from fashion-forward boutiques to yoga shops. Looking to the future, the trio plans to add dresses, skirts, winter clothes, heavier knitwear, yoga-type leggings, and even undergarments to their line.

The rapid rise of JOAH BROWN is proof of what a threeperson team can accomplish with a vision and determination.

Springtime Verse,

ucculents are named for their fleshy, juicy leaves and roots and are respected by landscapers and florists for their ornamental properties and architectural magnitudes. However, their apt name makes an alternative suggestion — tasty — which seems almost unanimously overlooked and may serve as a reminder that a succulent’s use on the table should not be restricted to a vase.

Sandra Russell of the Santa Barbara Cactus & Succulent Society (SBCSS) pointed out that purslane, for example, is well suited to a salad bowl and is easy to find locally as an unkempt weed. Purslane can be eaten fresh, steamed, or sautéed and can replace spinach in most recipes. It also contains more omega- fatty acids than any other leafy vegetable plant.

Nopalitos are the edible young paddles of the prickly pear and are popular in traditional Mexican dishes, from soups to breakfast burritos. The cactus spans much of North America, reaching as far north as Manitoba, where it can withstand 30-degree-below weather and long-lasting droughts.

The fruits of a Peruvian apple and Indian fig cactus have delicate fruity tastes and can be eaten raw. In fact, the flowers and fleshier fruits of all true cacti are thought to be edible. Biting into any part of a cactus can be tricky, though, so before consuming any spiny flowers or fruits, do remember that it is necessary to carefully remove all the glochids.

If eating succulents still sounds a little too bizarre, then consider that pineapple (a bromeliad) and dragonfruit (a cactus) that are often considered succulents. “The succulent term is really elastic. It might mean one thing to one person and may not mean something to another,” said the SBCSS’s Jim Foster in a recent interview with The Santa Barbara Independent.

Foster’s definition of a succulent includes one of the most ubiquitous ingredients in cooking — onions — with varieties like cipollini and pearl taking center stage at some of California’s Michelin-rated restaurants.

His definition also includes the beloved Mexican orchid baking spice vanilla.

Succulents not only make their way into culinary dishes: They also star in high-end spirits. Tequila and its Weber’s blue agave origins may not be surprising, but one Californian distiller offers an original take on a succulent spirit with its specially crafted Chareau Aloe Vera Liqueur,

Baseball Blackout Continues

V

by John Zant

ATHLETES of the WEEK

Presidio Sports:

loud and clear: “Hi, everybody. A very pleasant Monday to you …”

It was the opening game of the 66th baseball season that Scully has been the Dodgers’ playby-play announcer. The first three innings of his broadcast would be heard both on the club’s ill-begotten television network — blacked out to 70 percent of Southern California viewers — and on the radio network. I tuned into KVEN  AM, a Ventura sports station that has a decent signal during the day, but at night it becomes scratchy and fuzzy.

When you can hear Scully rolling out the descriptions, a televised image is hardly necessary. It’s been that way ever since the Dodgers came to L.A. in 1958, and I was 12 years old with a technological marvel, a transistor radio, which I took to bed with me every night. The only times the Dodgers appeared on local television were the 11 games they played in San Francisco.

Scully set the scene for Monday’s game — blue sky, brilliant sunshine, a baseball etched in the grass of center field. When former Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp came up for his first at-bat with the San Diego Padres, Scully pulled out a story from almost a century ago.

“The greatest Dodger homecoming involved Casey Stengel,” Scully said. Stengel had been traded by the Dodgers to the Pittsburgh Pirates. On his return to Ebbets Field in Brooklyn with the rival club, Scully said, “He doffed his cap, and a bird flew out. It’s hard to top that.”

Then Scully noted that the Dodgers’ infield was shifted to the left side against Kemp, and that observation proved prophetic moments later when Kemp hit a roller into right field for an RBI. “It would have been a routine groundout, but [second baseman] Howie Kendrick wasn’t there because of the shift,” Scully said. Then he added,“It was 65 degrees at the start of the game, and the Padres are trying to apply some heat.”

Early in the broadcast, Scully expressed deep personal nostalgia. He was saddened by the death two days earlier of Billy DeLury, “a dear friend of mine,” who was a traveling secretary, among other roles, in 60-plus years with the Dodgers.

Scully reflected on his own good fortune to still be able to do a job he loves at age 87. “I feel I should do it on my knees,” he said. Surely this man says his prayers every night. “We are grateful and honored to be able to serve you,” Scully told his audience, and the thought that this will be his last season was hard to ignore.

Because most of Scully’s work will be performed over Time Warner Cable’s (TWC) SportsNet LA, most Dodgers fans will not be able to hear it for the second straight season. TWC is paying the Dodgers $8.3 billion for exclusive television rights, but it has failed to sell the package to other distributors, including Cox Cable in Santa Barbara.

John McCoy is distressed that his grandfather, Jim Ballard, is unable to enjoy his favorite pastime. Ballard, who turned 95 last Thursday, needs a wheelchair to move around his home in the Carpinteria hills. McCoy, a Carpinteria High basketball coach, is a full-time caretaker for his grandfather. He sent an email to the opinion page of the L.A. Times with the subject line: “-year-old World War II veteran can’t watch his Dodgers.”

He said his grandfather religiously followed the Dodgers with Margaret, his wife of 66 years, and after she died in 2010, watching the games was a vital connection between them. The Times sent columnist Bill Plaschke to interview Ballard, and his story — presenting a human face amid the corporate TV dealings — made the front sports page on April 1.

Ballard blames the situation on the Dodgers, asserting that they could reduce the exorbitant sum they are receiving from TWC, making the telecasts affordable to other providers. Don’t count on it.

HERBALS

LEVO WINES

PAUL WELLMAN

PAUL WELLMAN

BY MATT KETTMANN

MOUNT OTHRYS TO YOU: Steve Raftopoulos imports the Sideritis plant and other herbs to Santa Barbara, where he packages them as Klio Tea on Anapamu Street.

HOMETOWN HOOKUP FOR

Greek Mountain Tea Who: Bret Urness, 25 years old

Roots: Originally from Idaho, Urness worked at a winery in high school, where he mostly set up weddings. “I really liked the whole thing even though I wasn’t into wine,” he said, noting that the winery made cab, merlot, and syrah but did best at riesling.“I liked physically working with the product. I liked the way it smelled. I thought it was cool — but I was 17.”

Heading west: In 2009, Urness followed a friend to Santa

Barbara City College, where he played on the football team.

Heading east: Rejected from state schools with wine pro-

grams, Urness went to work a harvest in Portugal’s Douro region in 2010, settling in with a small family operation that made red table wine with just one pump. “It was just so primitive. I thought, ‘This is sick. I can do this,’” recalled Urness.“I had no idea what I was doing, but there were just three of us, so I learned really quick.”

Back in S.B.: Urness returned to town, moved into a

Goleta home with SBCC friends, bought a couple tons of sangiovese in 2011, and made it up at San Marcos Creek Vineyard near Paso Robles. Meanwhile, he worked the vineyards for Carr Winery for a couple of years, explaining,“I was a laborer. I went out in the vineyards every day. I pruned with the dudes. That got really old.”

Levo rises: With the enthusiastic support of his father,

Urness steadily expanded Levo Wines, most dramatically in 2013 when a harvest that was supposed to be four tons turned out to be seven tons. “It became a full-time job in about five minutes,” said Urness, who produced about 450 cases in 2012, nearly 1,000 cases in both 2013 and 2014, and probably about 1,200 for 2015.

Style and substance: Levo’s stylish bottlings include

the flagship Bad Medicine (100 percent syrah) as well as Ransom (grenache-syrah) and White Lightning (rous-

SERIOUS ABOUT SYRAH: A blend of syrah grapes from around the region, Bad Medicine is the flagship wine of Bret Urness's Levo label, but he's also turning heads with Ransom, White Lightning, and other blends.

sanne-viognier). “I don’t care if we make one or 20 barrels, but it has to be the best fruit and the best barrels,” said Urness, who sources small amounts of grapes from Kimsey, Thompson, Stolpman, White Hawk, Presqu’ile, Glenrose, and Murmur vineyards. “The fruit is freakish,” said Urness of the latter, which is also known as Rancho Real and located along the  just south of Santa Maria.

On the road again and again: Urness still lives in

Goleta, makes wine at San Marcos Creek in Paso, sources from mainly the Santa Ynez Valley, and sells a lot in Los Angeles.“I get a lot of oil changes,” he said. He plans to move to Paso soon, though, to open a tasting room in “Tin City” with winemaking friend Eric Carucci.

Next up: In addition to a forthcoming rosé called Ultra-

violet, Urness also hopes to soon release The Heavy, a nearly 100 percent petite sirah (with trace amounts of roussanne and viognier). “It’s massive,” he said. “You can kill people with it.”

Future strategy: “I’m moving toward cool-climate syrah,”

said Urness, who likes that style’s big tannins and bacon-y, iodine flavors, which he enhanced with a lot more wholecluster picking in 2014. For 2015, he’s adding Duvarita and Slide Hill (formerly Sawyer-Lindquist) vineyards for his Rhône projects and expanding in cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot with grapes from Star Lane in Happy Canyon.

His goal for Bad Medicine is to pick from the best spots across Santa Barbara County and then blend those syrah grapes into a monumental wine. “I’m trying to get all of those representations of syrah and bring it together,” he said. “I’m really adamant about making honest wines. My whole goal is not to add anything like water or acid. But I don’t really subscribe to any certain dogma.”

espite their country’s headline-grabbing economic woes, Greeks tend to excel in the longevity category. Santa Barbara resident Steve Raftopoulos believes that may have something to do with the native mountain teas they’ve sipped for millennia. “These are all ancient Greek herbal teas,” he explains of the organic shrub clippings he now imports, packages on Anapamu Street in the former Jordy’s Market, and sells online as Klio Tea. “Greeks have been drinking these since the beginning of time.”

A former New York City finance expert who was raised the child of Greek immigrants in Louisiana and Mississippi, Raftopoulos moved to California a few years back and fell in love with the Santa Ynez Valley, where he built a house with his 83-year-old, four-cupsof-tea-a-day father, who lives there now. About two years ago, while at a Greek market in Los Angeles, Raftopoulos stumbled upon the rustic teas he recalled from his youth, did a bit of research on their history and nutritional benefits, and quickly wondered, “Why not bring these antioxidant-laden, phytonutrient-rich, and rather delicious herbs to health-conscious America?”

He connected with an entrepreneurially minded cousin in Greece and started figuring out how to import commercial amounts of the Sideritis plant, or what the Greeks call Tsy-Too-VooNoo. Much like high-end wineries that only source from distinct vineyards, Raftopoulos focused on single-origin teas from Mount Othrys, believing that the terroir is key to the resulting tea. “The suppliers there are very fragmented,” he explained. “Getting ones that were credible was a bit of a challenge. I could not do this without a trusted partner there.”

It took some time, but in January of this year, Klio Tea hit the market, offering the Greek mountain as well as Greek sage, sea buckthorn, chamomile, lemon verbena, and olive leaf teas. The Greek mountain comes in bulky though slick packages as completely unprocessed flowering stems, smelling like a cross between fresh chamomile, sweet oregano, and mellow sage, and makes a very pleasant, uncaffeinated brew after steeping in boiling water for five minutes and pouring through a strainer. “It pairs really well with honey,” said Raftopoulos, whose $11 packages contain enough tea for 25 10-ounce cups (free shipping). “I like it even better iced.”

Tastiness aside, Klio Tea’s whole-leaf style marks a shift away from the tea bags of yesteryear, which Raftopoulos believes have lost many of their nutrients due to the extreme amount of processing required. He explained,“This is more about the pure herb and its health benefits.”

CORE Wine Company’s Hard Core Mourvèdre/Grenache 2009: M

COURTESY

fter a nearly two-hour drive up the snaking, seemingly never-ending Highway  from Ventura, you hit Ventucopa and the Cuyama Valley, nestled in the far northeastern corner of Santa Barbara County. With an elevation approaching 2,900 feet, this is the high desert in all its glory.

It’s also where you’ll find the aptlyy named Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard, owned by the Arroyo Grande– based Laetitia Winery (which formerly called it the Barnwood Vineyard). The vines are tended by Lino Bozzano, a Central Valley transplant who doesn’t mind the challenge of growing grapes in arguably Santa Barbara’s most extreme region. There are 13 different varieties nestled within the 747 acres of vines, most of which are planted in an ancient riverbed extending from the usually dry Cuyama River.

The best sites are on the plateaus at about 3,200 feet, on the west side of the river. Unofficially dubbed Alta Mesa, the high elevation, huge diurnal temperature shifts, heavy and dense alluvial clay soils, and steady winds make for a merciless place to grow grapes — but that’s also what makes it incrediblyy distinct.

These days, new California appellations are announced more frequently than 100-point wines, but with this unique location and utter isolation, it feels like Ventucopa and the greater Cuyama Valley have a legitimate claim creating one more American Viticultural Area, or AVA. Here are some wines made from the vineyard.

P

atagonia founder Yvon Chouinard

has made good on his longtime dream to purvey food, and it’s no surprise that his recently minted Patagonia Provisions offers healthy, sustainably sourced snacks and meals. The brand, headquartered in Sausalito, debuted in 2013 with lightly smoked wild sockeye salmon. Earlier this year, organic fruit-andalmond bars hit the shelves. Rounding out the menu is Tsampa Soup (pictured below), Chouinard’s play on a roasted-grain staple he discovered 35 years ago while mountaineering in the Himalayas.

Loaded with grains and dehydrated veggies and portabello mushrooms, the soup is sold as both a home-cooked comfort food and an ideal backcountry power fuel. Commenting on the latter, Carpinteria’s Pat White, who’s training with the Los Padres Forest Association Volunteer Wilderness Rangers, said that considering the serving size and calorie count, he “was surprised at how hearty this meal was.”

“I would take it on a backpacking trip for its nutritional content,” White added. “A big advantage is that you could put it in a small Ziploc, taking up basically zero space, and just mix it with extra vegetables, dehydrated mash potatoes, or beans. This soup is a perfect base, and I was very impressed with the seasoning. You can actually appreciate it at the end of a long day, instead of just shoving calories in your mouth.”

Like all of Patagonia’s goods, its foods have to live up to the company’s high environmental standards.

For the soup, that means it’s made only with certified-organic, non-GMO ingredients.

“We’re taking all our resources and going all the way back to the ground and cleaning up our entire supply chain,” Chouinard said, “so that when somebody buys a product from us, they know we’re doing as much as we possibly can to make it as responsibly as possible.”

ELECTRIFYING BEATS: Seattle-based electro-pop group ODESZA creates orchestrations that are twinkly and groovy and bass drops that are rumbly behemoths but also employs verses and lyrics and hooks. The duo, composed of Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight, brings its heady hybrid of beat-borne music to the Arlington on Thursday, April 16.

L

ast month, weeks before their arrival date, Seattle electro-pop duo ODESZA successfully sold out two shows at the Santa Barbara Art Foundry. Then, due to venue troubles and fervent ticket demand, the show’s promoters decided to take a leap. This Thursday, April 16, ODESZA makes a huge  debut at the Arlington Theatre for what I’m already sure is going to be the festival season kickoff show of 2015.

For the unacquainted, ODESZA’s Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight make a heady hybrid of beat-borne music. Their orchestrations are twinkly and groovy, and the bass drops are rumbly behemoths, but they also employ verses and lyrics and hooks. In other words, theirs is the type of electronic music that can satisfy rave kids and music purists alike.

In anticipation of ODESZA’s upcoming S.B. takeover, we caught up with Knight to talk sold-out tours, collaborations, and some of the band’s, um, freakier live shows. For tickets and info, visit thearlingtontheatre.com.

Everything has been sold-out! We got the news three or four nights ago that the whole thing went in advance. It’s an honor to see so many people coming out and seeing so many people respond to music.

You two have been on the receiving end of a whole lot of attention lately. Do you remember a watershed moment where you started to realize things were taking off? You know, we’ve been

How have the shows been going? Really good.

You guys tend to get lumped in with a lot of other EDM artists, which I do and don’t agree with. How do you describe your music to people? I usually tell them it’s electronic pop

music — that’s what I’ve been doing. But if no one knows what we do, I just say we’re producers. That’s the go-to line; but yeah, we do get lumped in with the heavier EDM stuff, which is weird because I don’t see how our music

Has touring changed the way you work on music? Definitely. Our first release was just us

messing around; we didn’t really have a clear goal. It was just tracks we threw together and put online. The last record was definitely our time to grow up a little bit — we featured live vocalists and tried to work with artists and produce tracks that were more full songs with verses and choruses instead of just beats. That was definitely new territory for us, and the response has been amazing.

What’s the craziest show you’ve played thus far? Last night was really fun. We played in

Asheville, North Carolina, and I crowd-surfed for the first time. That was a blast. But the craziest show? We’ve got some stories of people getting down and dirty at some of our shows.

There was one in Missoula, Montana, where it happened and then again in Prague.

Did you say Missoula, Montana? Yeah. You wouldn’t expect it, but I guess it’s flattering?

COLLEEN GREEN I WANT TO GROW UP If you’ve ever found yourself wistfully longing for the good ole rock of the 1990s, allow us to introduce your new favorite act. Los Angeles’ Colleen Green makes the kind of lady-powered grunge-lite that roars to life behind a wall of reverb, melody, and slacker-friendly lyricism (see single “TV” for a thoroughly infectious example). On her third full-length, I Want to Grow Up, Green and her backing band chug through 10 smart, stoney guitar numbers that toe the line between thoughtfully paranoid and hilariously bratty. “Pay Attention” is a boppy little sing-

COCONUTS

song about short attention spans that’s lifted up by a wonderfully sludgy guitar hook. One track later, the breathy speak-sing of “Deeper Than Love” gets a leg up from a hypnotic drum machine and noteworthy dose of vocal reverb. Later in the game, “Grind My Teeth” is all brazen energetic fury, full of crashing cymbals and big, fuzzy guitar chords. Taken all together, it’s a loveable nod to simpler times, executed in a way that feels refreshingly youthful without being sophomoric.

going so hard and so fast that we really haven’t had a whole lot of time to soak it all in.

I think in the future, when things kind of slow down, Coachella will definitely be one of those moments where you look around and go,“Wow, this is real. This is happening.”

But it’s all pretty surreal right now.

We kind of live in a bubble. It’s really weird.

What do you get when you put six white guys, an epic quest, and a foul-tempered rabbit together? A pretty typical trip to PetSmart. Throw in John Cleese and a Holy Hand Grenade, though, and you’ve got Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

This week, UCSB Arts & Lectures celebrates the UCSB ARTS & 40th anniversary of one LECTURES of the most beloved RESURRECTS and quotable movies of MONTY PYTHON AND all time with a screenTHE HOLY GRAIL ing of the cult classic at Campbell Hall. Monty Python fans, British humor aficionados, and medieval enthusiasts alike can rejoice in the revival of the mythic story of a noble king in search of immortality and the Holy Grail. The film parodies King Arthur’s quest alongside his Knights of the Round Table, and in true Monty Python fashion, the adventure is equal parts riveting and ridiculous.

Laugh along as the gang sings, dances, and struggles to overcome The Black Knight, a rabid rabbit, and the French along the way. The film ranges from satirized historical accounts (witch burnings and knighthood) to the utterly bizarre (like a knight terrified of the word “it” and a sacred explosive bestowed by God). Not surprising, given that the movie was funded in part by rock stars looking for a tax cut. (It’s said that Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Elton John all donated money to the film’s production.)

While the days of floating witches and cutting down trees with herring may be a thing of the past, the eccentricity of Monty Python lives on and is sure to be even more hilarious on the big screen. Besides, where else can you watch one actor (Michael Palin) play twelve roles in the span of one film?

Grab your horse or coconut shells and quest to UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Tuesday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are 10 for the general public and free for UCSB students. For tickets and information, call 893-3535 or visit artsandlectures.sa.ucsb.edu.

How are you? Where are you? Good! We’re in

fits in there, but those fans have also always been really good to us, and it’s a supportive scene, so I can’t say anything bad about it. It’s a really passionate crowd, and they love the music and really get into it, so I’m happy to be a part of it; but yeah, we’re all over the map in terms of genres.

lthough the physical dimensions of the room remain the same, under the direction of Brad Nack, and with Nancy Gifford co-curating, the imaginative space manifested by the Arts Fund Gallery continues to grow.

With this new Sculpture Survey, which is on view through April 25, the team of Nack and Gifford takes the measure of several generations of Santa Barbara sculptors, and the result is both fresh and inspirational. These aren’t just eight good sculptors; these are eight strong artists in the broadest sense, meaning creators capable of transcending categories and defying expectations while simultaneously delivering intense aesthetic pleasure. From Claire Frandsen’s “Pocket-Sized Conan” [O’Brien] to Ed Inks’s imposing and bulbous welded wire piece “by all odds,” there’s a continuous sense that, by embracing three dimensions, these artists also break free of many of the constraints of artistic convention.

Three small objects rendered in bronze, silver, and copper represent Frandsen’s work.

There’s the aforementioned pocket Coco, instantly recognizable even in this semi-abstract striding figure portrait. Then there’s “The Rhino’s Guard,” a scary/blingy riff on brass knuckles, and finally “Wild Game,” a minimenagerie. Frandsen has a neat sense of scale and an original, offbeat tone that elevates these tabletop oddities even as they slip over and around the ordinary expectations for subject matter in bronze.

In Westmont faculty member Nathan Huff ’s work, tall, skinny metal plinths sometimes emphasize the vertical aspirations of his highly personal constructions. For example, his “Selfportrait at ” shoots up to chest height before coming together in a delicately balanced tangle of miniature balsawood chairs and a hammer.

The hammer-and-chairs motif returns on the horizontal in “Wisdom Council on Work,” and the soaring stand comes back into play in his third object, the timely “Drought & Blob,” which imagines stretched animal figures as the captives of a familiar water faucet.

In this show, the Arts Fund Gallery’s big entrance wall belongs to Ben Eckert, a recent

product of SBCC’s sculpture program run by Ed Inks. While Eckert demonstrates certain distinct points in common with his mentor, including the use of carefully bent, brightly colored wire, his sensibility causes him to gravitate more frequently toward straight lines and right angles than the curves and spheres so evident in Inks’s work. Eckert employs an unusual naming convention involving eight-digit numbers.

Thus his most colorful statement, “,” a carnival of intricately turned, bright-green wire set in boxes of purple with orange accents sneaks into the viewer’s unconscious disguised as a statistic.

Michael Arntz, who taught sculpture at UCSB until 2003, contributes three of the show’s most dynamic entries. “Blue Moon,” a substantial stoneware work, displays the same mottled animal-stripe patterning and serpentine, bulbous shapes that make Arntz’s other large piece, “Inorganic Creativity,” so memorable. At the same time, and on a smaller scale, his various iterations of “Stone soup for you?,” a sly riff on the “primitive” vessel, and the beautiful, mysterious split cube known as “Broken Symmetry — Life on Earth” demonstrate the artist’s facility with repurposing the coral-like irregularities of mineral deposits.

Arntz is an important Santa Barbara artist. Let’s hope he receives a well-deserved retrospective soon.

R. Nelson Parrish’s “Gaviota ,” with its dangling “reclaimed saw mill flitch” and sea stones, makes a great companion to the earthiness of Arntz. Occupying the other end of the spectrum between nature and culture, Greer Mehler’s sculptural renderings of ice and snowfall rely for their effect on the artist’s talent for repurposing industrial materials. In the show’s only openly participatory installation, Shannon Willis has created a device for capturing the viewer’s emotional charge, the aptly named “Tear Collector.” Like the rest of this excellent survey, it presents a welcome challenge and a refreshing shift from our everyday ways of looking at art. The artists will gather for an informal discussion of their work in the gallery on Friday, April 10, beginning at 6 p.m.

lthough it took Friedrich Nietzsche to reach its most notorious formulation, the sense that “God is dead” had already haunted German literature for most of the 19th century. In Friedrich Hölderlin’s philosophically informed, classically oriented poetry, while God is “near,” He remains “difficult to grasp,” but in the startling and formally prophetic dramatic fragments of Hölderlin’s contemporary, dramatist Georg Büchner, the problem runs in the other direction. Humankind is near, but not kind, and God is not so much difficult to grasp as disintegrated.

In the musical version of Büchner’s Woyzeck that opens next weekend, put on

by Ensemble Theatre Company, singer/ songwriter Tom Waits and his wife, Kathleen Brennan, have contributed a set by Charles Donelan of English-language songs to augment the enigmatic scenes that make up the original drama. In the process, they have Americanized this existential perception into “God’s Away on Business,” the title and the refrain of the show’s fifth song. In an interview accompanying the 2002 release of Blood Money, the album version of the project, Waits explained his understanding of the expression this way: “It’s just one of those things you say in order to explain the way that you feel in metaphor. I guess it feels sometimes in the world that God is away on business and he’s not coming back.”

This leaves the humans in charge, and it’s from this godless point of departure that the playwright Büchner built his drama. Franz Woyzeck is based on a historical figure, a German wigmaker also named Woyzeck who was executed after being convicted of murdering his girlfriend in a fit of jealous anger.

Büchner, who himself died at the young age of 23, seized on this anecdote and turned it into a full-blown critique of the dehumanizing effects of militarism and bureaucracy. The Woyzeck of the play, like his real-life predecessor, is driven to murder by jealousy, but he is also a victim, having not only been systematically degraded as a result of his inferior social and economic status but also having been the subject of a mysterious series of medical experiments.

With no hope of love or justice and a continuously deteriorating sense of self, Woyzeck spirals out of control, but not before condemning the system in which he has been trapped.

Unfinished and neglected at Büchner’s death in 1837, the play is now seen as having prefigured two key developments, naturalism and expressionism, that were not to become widespread until nearly a century later.

In this production, director Jonathan Fox is aiming for something distinctly different from what Robert Wilson did with the Waits music when it was first performed by a Danish company in 2002. Wilson, whose best-known work remains the postmodern milestone Einstein on the Beach, often employs abstract techniques such as geometric blocking and anti-natural movements to estrange the audience from the material. Critics were divided on the success of the Danish version, and Fox is aware of the challenges posed by this highly literary text. “It may be difficult to make this play work with any approach,” he said, adding,“these beautiful songs have the darkest lyrics you can imagine.”

Perhaps the most innovative aspect of what’s being done on this production is the way that Fox is using the five-piece band. They’ve been in rehearsal with the cast from the beginning, and they have created their own musical vocabulary alongside the actors. When the show opens on Saturday, April 18 (performances on Apr. 16-17 are previews), the musicians will be onstage, not in the pit, and the actors will sing and dance on the same level with them. It’s one of the season’s most ambitious productions, and here’s to seeing it succeed.

God may be away on business, but that doesn’t mean the show can’t still go on.

iven that they are typically the last things that everyone in the audience touches before the curtain goes up, it was bound to happen — there’s now a play about cell phones. Once all the phones in the house are turned off, the phone at the center of Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone starts to ring, and for the next two hours, it’s that fictional onstage phone, and not the one sitting quietly in your pocket, that occupies the center of your attention. Fortunately, with playwright extraordinaire Ruhl

by Charles Donelan involved, these will definitely be calls you want to take.

Ruhl, whose Eurydice and The Clean House have both received strong Santa Barbara productions in recent years, is one of the world’s most interesting contemporary writers. She’s fully capable of using a dead man’s cell phone as the point of departure for an entire evening’s worth of funny, surprising, and insightful theater. In case anyone is wondering, according to Katie Laris, who is directing the piece for the Theatre Group at SBCC, the message is unequivocal —“cell phones are bad.” How so? “While they attempt to connect us, in the end, they are an alienating force,” said Laris, who is thoroughly enjoying the rehearsal process for this production, which will be staged in the college’s intimate black box, the Jurkowitz Theatre.

The cast includes a number of the area’s finest actors, including Brian Harwell as Gordon, the dead man; Jenna Scanlon as Jean, the protagonist; and Shannon Saleh, Justin Stark, Kathy Marden, and Leona Paraminski. The play begins when Jean decides it’s better to answer a dead stranger’s ringing phone than to let it keep on disrupting her night, and from there the twists and turns of Ruhl’s inexhaustible imagination take over. Jean has virtually every experience you can have on the phone — she encounters mysterious others, she learns more than she wanted to about the deceased Gordon, and she even falls in love — with the phone. It’s a great role for a fine comic actress like Scanlon, and the evening promises to be one of the season’s highlights for fans of serious theater, despite the fact that, as with other works by Ruhl, the show is essentially a comedy.

Director Laris marvels at the script’s freedom from theatrical tradition, saying that in some ways, Ruhl is “like Beckett — it’s all about punctuation,” but that in others, she’s all on her own. “She’ll have characters speaking their unspoken thoughts along with their lines,” she told me, “and she’s got ellipses that are so strong the actors and I can hardly believe it. She knows just how to embody a big idea without any words.” Although Ruhl is well known for her meticulous specifications regarding pauses and silence, she’s also capable of handing actors and directors big chunks of business to improvise. Laris cites as one of her favorite examples the stage direction “cell phone ballet.”“How great is that?” she asked me. “What an incredible suggestion. You have this terrific idea, but it is totally up to you what you do with it.”

The play remains set in 2007, the year it premiered, when certain cell phone phenomena such as texting had not yet reached their current level of popularity.

Despite the inevitable datedness that accompanies any show that relies so heavily on specific technology, in the end, Dead Man’s Cell Phone is, according to the director, “a fairy tale, because it’s about a journey from innocence to knowledge,” and that’s something you are going to want to hear. So please, take this moment to silence your electronic devices so that you can listen to this one.

LORD HURON COMETH AMERICANA REMIXED: L.A.-based Lord Huron made a big impact with its 2012 debut, Lonesome Dreams. The band reemerged this week with Strange Trails, its 14-song album that builds on the lush, pastoral feel of its predecessor and injects a brooding, ominous element into the mix.

t’s a rare feat when a band emerges fully formed. On the group’s 2012 debut, Lonesome Dreams, Lord Huron made a big impact with its sound, which mixed classic guitar rock, open-road folk harmonies, and a slightly Eastern palette into an evocative and rumbling mix of new Americana — but that was only the beginning. The music also gave way to a swirling world of visuals and storytelling and laid the foundation for a new band that seemed to really understand the music they were starting to make.

Two years and some monstrous tours later, Lord Huron reemerged this week with Strange Trails. The 14-song follow-up to Lonesome Dreams builds on the lush, pastoral feel of its predecessor and injects a brooding, ominous element into the mix. This Monday, the Los Angeles–based quartet heads north for a show at the Lobero Theatre. Prior to the event, I spoke by phone with frontman Ben Schneider about touring, traveling, and comic books.

Lonesome Dreams have carried over and evolved, too, but I think overall there’s this underlying unease that’s beneath it all, and I definitely think some of my life experiences this year played into that. [Laughs.]

How was Japan? It was beautiful. I had a kind of interest-

Powerhouse Trio’s Santa Barbara Debut!

ALT-J IN COMMAND

Are you enjoying the travel still? Yeah, definitely.

It’s pretty fun. You know, we’re still getting to go to new places, which is cool. We just went to South America. Before that, we went to India. There’s still new discoveries happening all the time, and that’s really exciting.

THE BRITISH BAND BRINGS ITS DISTINCTIVE SOUND TO THE BOWL

by Michelle Drown Your debut album was very well realized and didn’t seem like your first recording go-round.

Did it feel like that to you or were you unsure of the process? We had such a long time before we

made the album — like four or five years writing and getting good before we made the album. …

We had plenty of material we wanted to put on the album, so it felt like kind of a natural, easy process to focus on songs to record and put them together. It wasn’t like we were signed on the strength of three songs. We didn’t have to go in the studio and write a whole album; we were ready to go.

Were any of the songs on the new album left over from the first one? Not exactly leftovers, but

there were definitely songs we hadn’t finished from the first time. “Every Other Freckle” and GABRIEL GREEN

“

t’s a mad schedule, but it’s good fun,” said Gus Unger-Hamilton, keyboardist and vocalist for the British band alt-J, of the group’s nonstop touring since the 2012 release of their debut record, An Awesome Wave.“We toured the first album for nearly two years and then went straight back to the studio and made the second album and then went back on tour, so there hasn’t been a lot of downtime.”

Alt-J formed in the halls of the University of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England, in 2007 and for the next four years crafted and honed its unique sound — a pastiche of enchanting keyboard-driven melodies; sometimes scratchy, sometimes delicate vocals; dynamic tempo shifts; and rock sensibilities, among other elements. The band quickly acquired a large following of devoted fans with its first album; its latest, This Is All Yours, went straight to number one in the U.K. following its fall 2014 release.

In anticipation of alt-J’s Santa Barbara Bowl appearance on April 14, I recently spoke by phone with Unger-Hamilton, who was in Nashville, Tennessee, with the band resting up before their first-ever performance at the Grand Ole Opry.

There is a track called “Bloodflood” on An Awesome Wave and there’s “Bloodflood, pt. II” on your new record. How did that come about? I think we were writing

BUILT FOR LISTENING: Credited with inspiring indie rockers such as Modest Mouse, The Strokes, and Death Cab for Cutie, the two-decade-old band Built to Spill will rock SOhO on Monday, April 13. They are touring to promote their eighth record, Untethered Moon, which drops Tuesday, April 21.

“Laurie Berkner does what Fred Rogers did: respect, validate and reassure young children.” Los Angeles Times

O

n April 13, Built to Spill (BTS) makes its way to Santa Barbara for a night filled with shimmering guitar riffs and wistful indie rock at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club. The 22-year-old band is gearing up to release its first new album in six years with an almost entirely new band lineup to BUILT TO SPILL’S boot. In the following months, BTS will also return to the touring circuit SINGER SPILLS DEETS ON BAND’S to jam alongside acts such as Death FIRST ALBUM IN SIX YEARS Cab for Cutie and Brand New and by Cassandra Miasnikov play Coachella, Treefort, and Shaky Knees music festivals.

After scrapping an entire album’s worth of material a few years back, Built to Spill’s forthcoming record, Untethered Moon, is the first to include bassist Jason Albertini and drummer Steve Gere alongside lead singer/guitarist Doug Martsch. When asked about the six-year gap between the band’s upcoming album and the last one, Martsch explains,“In 2012, I was a bit burned out on my ability to make new music. We actually recorded an album that year, and then we went on tour. The rhythm section guys quit the band, so we started over … it actually felt really good to start fresh.”

But these won’t be the first shows with the band’s new members, Martsch clarifies. The current Built to Spill lineup toured together for the first time a year after the previous members left the band.“These guys have actually been in the band for two years, and we’ve been touring since then,” Martsch explains. “We toured a ton in 2013, and I’m excited about getting back on tour and playing with them. Our new drummer is really amazing. He has a distinctive style that gives our new album really exciting percussion.”

While they’ve been credited as inspiring indie-rock mainstays like Modest Mouse, The Strokes, Brand New, and Death Cab, Built to Spill’s frontman says he doesn’t listen to much music while recording. However, Martsch confessed that the Untethered Moon album was influenced primarily by upcoming independent artists, citing Canadian indie band Slam Dunk as a major source of inspiration. “I don’t have a problem with people emulating other people,” Martsch explains. “People try to emulate the music of bands that they like, and that produces great creativity. Music doesn’t come out of a vacuum — it’s a shared experience. Playing with and listening to different bands is important if you are a musician. I think a lot of musicians get so hung up on the idea of being original that they end up making crap music.”

And Martsch assures us that there will be no crap music on Untethered Moon — he abandoned an almost completed full-length just to make sure of it.

“The guys and I worked really hard for a long time on that [scrapped] album,” Martsch recalled. “We were almost done with it, but I didn’t really like it. We reworked a lot of those songs and rewrote a lot of their parts, so I feel confident that the new album is much better.”

Untethered Moon is the group’s eighth studio album and is produced by Martsch and fellow Northwest indie rocker Sam Coomes (of Quasi fame).

Warner Bros Records will release the album on Tuesday, April 21, though vinyl will hit the shelves of a record store near you just a tad earlier on April 18, just in time for Record Store Day.

Built to Spill plays a 21+ show at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Monday, April 13, at 8 p.m. with openers Braided Waves. For tickets and info, call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com.

eird as it sounds, this movie will only be great if it lives up to what the perfectly named character actor Vin Diesel promises: to be one last ride.

Of course, Hollywood will sequel-ize it again if it feels the money is there, but for the sake of the franchise’s goofball “integrity,” it would be ideal if it ended with this installment.

FINAL LAP: Furious 7 is a fitting close to the And where are we now Fast and Furious franchise and stars the late in the long, unlikely car Paul Walker (left) and Vin Diesel. chase? The Fast and Furious gang are reunited after long ago moving from soulful Southern California highways to exotic locales like Tokyo, Spain, and London, brought together to stop one Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) from hunting down and killing the former grease monkeys turned suave adventurers — T-shirts dressed up in tuxedos. But first they must acquire a dingus for the CIA, which leads them to even more furiously fast locales like Dubai and the Caucasus Mountains, where everything but Dracula shows up.

Every aspect of the franchise’s past is effectively recycled, too. Dom (Diesel) is reunited with the still amnesia-addled Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) has a cartoon cameo as “the cavalry.” (The scene where he removes his cast is corny and great.) But, of course, the film works best as a farewell to Diesel’s costar Paul Walker, the Santa Barbara actor who died in a real car crash before filming was completed.

Somehow, Furious , with all of its preposterous stunts, mock epic chase scenes, clunky dialogue, and sadistic bloodless fight scenes, is redeemed in a finale that manages to make the whole series seem goopy and romantic.

It brings the series together while magically connecting to the actual fate of a charismatic actor. (Who knows what Walker’s daughter thinks about the conclusion, but it is tasteful.) This elaborately cinematic film, which feels like a Hong Kong movie on a steroid budget, does redeem the mess. But it will be ■ shameful, no, infuriating if they make another.

Fiesta 5/Camino Real (Opens Thu., Apr. 16)

extremely watchable and entirely winning films. (KS) Fairview (2D)/Metro 4 (2D) Get Hard (100 mins.; R: pervasive crude and sexual content and language, some graphic nudity, and drug material)

When a millionaire (Will Ferrell) is arrested for fraud, he turns to Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart) to prep him for jail.

A clueless alien named Oh takes possession of an Earth apartment after his people take over our planet. This film, saccharine and phony, might make your children stare fixedly at the screen, but their little faces (not to mention yours) will not be cracking up. Home, in this case, is where the artificial heart is. (DJP) Fairview/Fiesta 5

✯ It Follows (100 mins.; R: disturbing violent and sexual content including graphic nudity and language) Set on the edge of Detroit in an all-white suburb, the film follows protagonist Jay, who becomes cursed after a violent sexual encounter. Really good horror films go home with you. David Robert Mitchell’s is great. It may not be this year’s scariest, but it sure alters consciousness. (DJP). Metro 4

✯ Kingsman: The Secret Service

✯ Cinderella

(112 mins.; PG: mild thematic

elements)

This live-action film retells the classic fairy tale about a servant stepdaughter who becomes the object of affection for the kingdom’s prince. The remake comes nowhere near the domesticated grandeur of the 1950 cartoon, though it has its own moments, both new and wonderfully familiar. (DJP) Camino Real/Fiesta 5 Danny Collins (106 mins.; R: language, drug use, and some nudity)

An aging rock star (Al Pacino) vows to turn his life around after he finds a 40-year-old letter written to him by John Lennon.

✯ The Divergent Series: Insurgent (119 mins.; PG-13: intense violence and action throughout, some sensuality, thematic elements, and brief language)

Tris (Shailene Woodley) continues her fight against the powerful alliance that threatens to destroy her society. The action is silly bordering on preposterous, the characters take themselves all too seriously, and this seemingly incongruous combination actually translates into two

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF APRIL  ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): Uitwaaien is a Dutch word that means to go out for a stroll in windy weather simply because it’s exhilarating. I don’t know any language that has parallel terms for running in the rain for the dizzy joy of it or dancing through a meadow in the dark because it’s such nonsensical fun or singing at full volume while riding alone in an elevator in the mad-happy quest to purge your tension. But in the coming weeks, you don’t need to describe or explain experiences like these; you just need to do them. Experiment with giving your instinctive need for exuberance lots of room to play.

(June 21 - July 22): “Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love,” said Cancerian comedian Mel Brooks. Although he was joking, he was also quite serious. More often than we like to admit, desperation infects our quest to be cared for. Our decisions about love may be motivated by a dread of loneliness. We worry about whether we are worthy of getting the help and support we need. It’s a fundamental human problem, so there’s no reason to be ashamed if you have this tendency yourself.

Having said that, I’m happy to report that you now have the necessary power to overcome this tendency. You will be able to summon tremendous courage as you revise and refine your relationship with love. It’s time to disappear the fear.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): Rent, but don’t buy yet. That’s my $250-per-hour advice. Keep rehearsing, but don’t start performing the actual show. Okay? Flirt, but don’t fall in love. Can you handle that much impulse control?

Are you strong enough to explore the deeper mysteries of patience? I swear to you that your burning questions will ultimately be answered if you don’t try to force the answers to arrive according to a set timetable. I guarantee that you will make the necessary connections as long as you don’t insist that they satisfy every single one of your criteria.

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): What I’m about to say is not a hard scientific fact, but it is a rigorous poetic fable. You don’t need to go to the mountain, because the mountain is willing and able to come to you. But will it actually come to you?

Yes, but only if you meet two conditions. The mountain will pick itself up and move all the way to where you are if you make a lot of room for it and if you are prepared to work with the changes its arrival will bring.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): Your nasty, nagging little demon isn’t nasty or nagging any more. It’s not doing what demons are supposed to do. It’s confused, haggard, and ineffective.

I almost feel sorry for the thing. It is barely even keeping you awake at night, and its ability to motivate you through fear is at an all-time low. Here’s what I suggest: Now, when the demon’s strength is waning and its hold on you is weak, you should break up with it for good. Perform an ultimate, nonreversible exorcism. Buy it a oneway bus ticket to the wasteland, and say good-bye forever.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): When he was in his fifties, French painter Claude Monet finally achieved financial success.

He used his new riches to buy a house and land, then hired gardeners to help him make a pond full of water lilies. For the first time in his life, he began to paint water lilies. During the next 30 years, they were his obsession and his specialty. He made them a central feature of 250 canvases, which now serve as one of his signature contributions to art history.“I planted my water lilies for pleasure,” he said.“I cultivated them without thinking of painting them. And then suddenly, I had the revelation of the magic of my pond.” I regard the imminent future as a good time for you to do something similar, Gemini: Create or find a source of beauty that will stimulate your sense of wonder and fuel your passion to express yourself for a long time.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): Do you ever feel reverence and awe, Leo? Are there times when you spontaneously yearn to engage in acts of worship? Is there anyone or anything that evokes your admiration, humility, and gratitude?

The coming weeks will be a good time to seek out experiences like these. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will get tender jolts of transformational inspiration if you blend yourself with a sublime force that you trust and respect.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): A lot has happened since you were … uh … indisposed. You’ve missed out on several plot twists. The circle has been broken, repaired, broken again, and partially repaired. Rumors have been flying, allegiances have been shifting, and riddles have been deepening. So are you ready yet to return to the heated action?

Have you learned as much as you can from the commotion that provoked your retreat? Don’t try to return too early. Make sure you are at least 70 percent healed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): The Guerrilla Girls are a group of prankster activists who use humor to expose sexism and racism in the art world. Every so often they take a “weenie count” at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. During their first survey in 1989, they found that 5 percent of the artists who had work hanging in the galleries were women, while 85 percent of the nudes depicted in the paintings were women. More recently, in 2012, their weenie count revealed that 4 percent of the artists were female, but 76 percent of the naked people in the paintings were female. The coming week would be a good time for you to take a weenie count in your own sphere, Scorpio. Conditions are more favorable than usual to call attention to gender disparities and to initiate corrective action.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): The English term “engine” refers primarily to a machine that transforms energy into mechanical power. But its roots are in the Old French word engin, which meant skill or wit, and in the Latin word ingenium, defined as “inborn talent.” I’d like to borrow the original meanings to devise your horoscope this week. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your “engine” is unusually strong right now, which means that your cultivated skills and innate talents are functioning at peak levels. I suggest you make intensive use of them to produce maximum amounts of energy and gather more of the clout you’d love to wield.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): If you were a 4-year-old, cookies might be a valuable treasure to you. Given a choice between a bowl of stir-fried organic vegetables and a plateful of chocolate coconut macaroons, you’d probably choose the macaroons. For that matter, if you were 4 years old and were asked to decide between getting a pile of macaroons and a free vacation to Bali or an original painting by Matisse or a personal horoscope reading from the world’s greatest astrologer, you’d also opt for the cookies. But since you’re a grown-up, your list of priorities is screwed on straight, right? You would never get distracted by a sugary, transitory treat that would cause you to ignore a more nourishing and long-lasting pleasure. Right?

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): On June 23, 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in a Major League Baseball game against the Washington Senators. After the first batter drew a walk, Ruth got upset with the home plate umpire and punched him in the head. Ejected!

Banished! The Babe had to be dragged off the field by the cops. The new pitcher was Ernie Shore. He proceeded to pitch a perfect game, allowing no further Washington player to reach base in all nine innings. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I see you as having the potential to duplicate Ernie Shore’s performance in your own sphere.

Coming in as a replacement, you will excel. Chosen as a substitute, you will outdo the original.

Wine of the Week Press Gang Cellars Savanna Rhea Grenache Rosé 2013:

The only bad thing about this delightful rosé is that winemaker Kyle Knapp made a mere 24 cases of it.

Knapp, who in addition to owning this garagiste outfit, is also the assistant winemaker at Beckmen Vineyards, has a thing for grenache, and picks grapes specifically for this wine — it’s no saignée, and therefore fuller‑ flavored despite its gorgeous pale pink hue. While Knapp jokes, “I have dubbed this the perfect ‘breakfast wine,’” it’s best to think of it as a Santa Barbara take on France’s famed Tavel, vividly acidic with plenty of bright strawberry fruit. Fine to sip on a picnic or in one’s backyard while also being a perfect match for grilled lemon chicken or any salmon dish. Savanna Rhea is Knapp’s wife, if you wondered, so it’s got to be good wine or he’d be in big trouble around his house.

LOOK OUT BELOW: The Timbers Restaurant at 10 Winchester Canyon Road on the western edge of Goleta will be making a comeback.

T

he story goes that following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-, under the direction of Commander Kozo Nishino, sailed undetected into the dark waters off of western Goleta. On the night of February 23, 1942, at 7 p.m., Nishino’s I- emerged off of the Ellwood Oil Field, where he ordered his men to fire at the oil facilities, with one shell hitting the Ellwood Pier.

In the years following the attack, Tex Blankenship bought the slice of property, which was once part of Nicholas Den’s Rancho Dos Pueblos, and used the pier’s wood to build Timbers, which he hoped would become an amusement park like Knott’s Berry Farm. He never finished, but in 1963, Sam Velliotes took over and finally opened the restaurant. Many of the timbers still contain pieces of shrapnel from the torpedo bombing.

HJL Group Restaurant Advisors is now working to bring Timbers back to its former glory. “The plan is to include the people in the City of Goleta in the concept and design process, and to restore the building and its memories once again,” says Jeremiah Higgins, HJL’s operations advisor.

Plans include an incubator kitchen, deli, market, and pie shop that will showcase regional produce, wine, cheese, honey, baked goods, and other items made by artisan producers in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, and Summerland. The main dining hall will bring back the family-style dining of the past, offering music and entertainment. Emmy Award–winning flamenco guitarist Benise is slated to headline dinner shows throughout the year.

The neighboring farm is being planted now, with pumpkins, lettuce, and organic produce that will be served and sold there. The farm will offer “pick your own” tours and have livestock for the kids.

CAMINO REAL CHANGES: This just in from Mark D.

Linehan of the Wynmark Company, which runs Camino Real Marketplace: “John, I can confirm that we have signed a lease for Brophy’s On The Alley. They are taking the old Gina’s Pizza space. I can also confirm that Jane’s at the Marketplace (owners of Montecito Café and Jane downtown) as well as Pascucci will be tenants. We are extremely pleased to bring three of the best restaurants in the community to the Camino Real Marketplace.”

SUSHI CAFÉ OPENS: The former home of Henning’s

Cake Boutique (where The Restaurant Gal bought our

wedding cake in 2012) at  West Figueroa Street is now the home of Sushi Café, which is brought to you by Sushi Teri owner Laxman Perera. Thanks to reader Mick for the tip.

LAS BRASAS MEXICAN GRILL OPENS: Reader Matt

let me know that Los Tarascos restaurant at -B Calle Real, Goleta, has closed. The business opened in October 2009. In its place is a new restaurant named Las Brasas Mexican Grill.

STEVE GETS A NEW NAME: Last February, the owners of Steve’s Patio Café at  De la Vina Street closed the business for a few weeks to renovate the kitchen and work on Americans with Disabilities Act compliance for the patio. Apparently the name received an overhaul, as well, because the eatery is now known as Terraza Café.

Steve’s fans will be happy to know that the full menu of Steve’s Patio Café is still available for breakfast and lunch.

ter on upper State Street has closed because the property where it was located, the former Sandman Inn, is being developed into condos. The good news is that Warren Butler, owner of the business, has opened two new event center locations. One is in the old Café del Sol site at  Los Patos Way in Montecito, which is now called The Montecito Event Center. The other is in the former Sizzler restaurant location,  Hollister Avenue in Goleta, which is the new home of the Butler Event Center. There is commercial kitchen space available in both locations, which are taking reservations for meetings and events now. Email warren@butlereventcenter.com.

SUPERMARKET SHUFFLE: The transition to Haggen

Food & Pharmacy begins. Between April 19 and 21, the Vons at  North Fairview Avenue, will close and reopen as Haggen. Then the same thing will happen between June 16 and 20 at the following stores: Albertsons at  Cliff Drive and  State Street, and Vons at  South Turnpike Road and  Linden Avenue in Carpinteria.

On a related note, while at the Vons gas station on Fairview Avenue recently, an attendant told me the property might remain a Vons gas, though he was not 100 percent certain.
