COMPETITIVE COMPASSION: Michael Baker — a native of upstate New York yet an in-your-face Red Sox fan — has already won over skeptics of the troubled Westside club, which serves many thousands of kids every year.

New Broom on the Zoom

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Santa Barbara’s Grand Jury has indicted two women in the March 2013 murder of Solvang resident Heidi Good, who suffered from an advanced stage of ALS. One of the indicted is Good’s mother, Marjorie Good, 89, now in County Jail on $1 million bail. The other is Wanda Nelson, arrested in New York and soon to be extradited. In announcing the indictment, District Attorney Joyce Dudley said 33 witnesses provided testimony to the Grand Jury, which also reviewed a Sheriff’s investigation and testimony from Heidi’s husband and two children.

Herbert Keith Wells, 19, will spend three years in prison after turning himself in for sexual assault against two women in 2014. Wells pleaded guilty to one count of rape and one count of sexual battery and will register as a sex offender. Last year, he moved from Long Beach to attend Santa Barbara City College, and the assaults occurred in his apartment complex on Oceano Avenue. The DA’s Office stated the first victim “expressed her desire for Wells to get help rather than a lengthy incarceration.” pau l wellm an

News of the Week

Can Michael Baker Finally Turn the Boys & Girls Club Around?

I

by N i c k W e l s h t might be premature to declare Michael Baker the Second Coming of Sliced Bread, but in the four short months since he’s taken the helm of the troubled United Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara, Baker has been making a strong impression.

Most immediately struck has been city Parks and Recreation director Nancy Rapp, who finally agreed to extend City Hall’s $1-a-year lease with the Westside Boys & Girls Club. That lease — which ran for 50 years— expired last August, and because of longstanding concerns about club leadership, staff turnover, safety, and financial stability, Rapp insisted on a short renewal contract.

The United Boys & Girls Club board wanted a 20-year extension but ultimately accepted a three-year deal.

“I’m in a wait-and-see mode, but I’m also very encouraged,” said Rapp. “Michael Baker has impressed a lot of people; he’s got ideas, energy, and he’s making good decisions. It seems he’s here to stay.” The same could not be said, however, of Baker’s predecessors, who’ve come and gone with such rapidity over the past two years that even Rapp couldn’t name them all.

Baker arrived in Santa Barbara after 27 years with various Boys & Girls clubs, the last 14 in Anaheim. There, he made news by reaching out to homeless kids living in motels, enlisting celebrity chefs for feed-the-kid campaigns, and trucking in youths from rival gang territories. Brash, fast-talking, and energetically positive, Baker immediately opened the Westside club, located by Bohnett Park, on 8

Saturdays. That hadn’t been done in 19 years.

He also extended Friday hours until 10 p.m.

In addition, Baker instructed his staff to go out in search of underserved kids and drive them to and from the Westside club. “We had three vans we were using once a day,” he said.

“That’s a waste of resources for the other 23 hours,” Baker said. Now, the Westside club is serving homeless kids, families in Section 8 housing, and people from the lower Westside for whom the Carrillo Street barrier has traditionally proved insurmountable.

Baker has also teamed up with the Santa Barbara Unified School District, whose mobile cafés now deliver warm meals to 200 people a night by Bohnett Park. Putting this program together is Nancy Weiss, food service czar for the school district. Baker refers to Weiss as “my hero.” Weiss says the same about Baker.

One of the perennial concerns hovering over the Westside club has been the association in Santa Barbara’s popular imagination between Bohnett Park and Westside gang members. Attendant doubts about safety have been a keen issue with principals of nearby schools, La Cumbre Junior High School principal Jo Ann Caines especially. As a result, neither La Cumbre nor Harding Elementary has been sending their students to the Westside club.

Baker made a point to visit Caines in her office. He was the first United Boys & Girls Club executive to do so. The encounter, Baker acknowledged, started out bumpy. It got less so as he acknowledged past problems. It got better still as he outlined his approach. Afterward, independent.com

Caines—well known for her formidable, nononsense persona — was all but smitten. “If anyone can save that place, it’s Michael Baker,” she said. “He brings experience. He brings actions, not just words.” More to the point, Caines is now referring her students to the Westside club.

Baker’s approach to troublesome activities taking place in Bohnett Park is not to call the cops or face off with neighborhood gangs but to program the space more expansively.

If gang members are playing handball at the park’s basketball court, Baker’s response is to schedule more United Boys & Girls Club basketball games there. “Those guys don’t want to be around kids,” Baker said. As Baker sees it, he and the gangs are in direct competition for the same kids. “They’re all about instilling a sense of belonging, usefulness, and competence. We’re about all the same things though in a positive way,” he said.

To add further assurances, the new lease requires the Westside club to provide office space so city cops can hold office hours, take complaints, process paperwork, and be generally available to the neighbors. A similar program has been in effect for nearly two years at the Franklin Center on the Eastside, reportedly to good effect.

The United Boys & Girls Club has been dogged by chronic financial woes in recent years, and a big part of Baker’s job will be that of rainmaker and fundraiser. In the meantime, he said, there’s still a ton of people to meet and much work to be done. “We’ve got a long way to go,” he said,“It’s only been four months.” n

A 30-year-old man shot and nearly killed by Sheriff’s deputies after he stole one of their cruisers during a violent confrontation in 2013 was sentenced on 5/12 to five years in prison. Deputies had detained Jeremy Bordegaray (pictured) in the back of a patrol car after they caught him prowling in the Beach Club Drive neighborhood near Carpinteria. Bordegaray was somehow able to slip his handcuffs, break through the car’s partition, and start driving away when the deputies opened fire. He pleaded no contest to possessing methamphetamine, carrying a gun, and stealing a car. He also admitted to a prior prison sentence.

CITY The explosive popularity of the Funk Zone has engendered such intense competition among business owners for on-street parking spaces that they’ve taken to erecting faux “No Parking” signs to protect spaces for their customers. The problem, at least according to city traffic engineers, is that the owners have no legal authority to dictate who gets to park on public streets. The question before City Council’s Ordinance Committee is whether the fake signs are a

On the advice of its attorney, City Council may adopt a policy to restrict behind-thescenes contact with individuals lobbying for or against specific land-use developments.

Because so many council deliberations are quasi-judicial in nature — think of any project appealed to the council — City Attorney Ariel Calonne recommended arguments be made in the public arena so that parties can hear what’s being stated. He described the lack of a clear policy as “glaring” and legally “dangerous.”

The number of sewage spills within the City of Santa Barbara more than doubled between 2013 and 2014 — from 9 to 20. That increase exceeds a legal settlement between City Hall and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper. Channelkeeper’s Kira Redmond expressed frustration that city officials declined to meet with her experts to discuss what she saw as the shortcomings in the city’s spill management plan. Three years ago, City Hall paid $337,500 in Channelkeeper’s attorneys’ fees and another $125,000 to a private environmental consultant to launch a mitigation program.

Once Rick Caruso (pictured) received approval for his Miramar project in April from the Board of Supervisors, rumors started swirling about who would run the resort. According to several insiders, Caruso Affiliated is looking strongly at Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, which operates 11 luxury hotels and seven resorts in 11 countries. Caruso Affiliated declined to comment on the rumor, as did Rosewood reps. From 2006-2011, the company managed the San Ysidro Ranch.

Lake Cachuma may be going dry much faster than previously expected, meaning South Coast water agencies could find themselves forced to cut back by an additional one-third. That cut would be on top of the 55 percent reduction agencies have already imposed upon themselves in deference to the drought. Until last week, it was thought the lake wouldn’t go dry — at least on paper — until October 1. Now, the Santa Barbara County Water Agency is releasing new estimates indicating the end could come even sooner than that.

There’s far more water in the lake than the water agencies can get their hands on.

A big chunk — about as much as the City of Santa Barbara uses in a year — has to be released to satisfy the legal entitlements of downstream users. About the same amount is deemed too scuzzy to be treated to drinking standards. Another 3,500 acre-feet has been set aside for the survival of the endangered steelhead trout.

If that fish water were to be made available, water agency directors contend, no additional cuts would be necessary. They are seeking federal permission to dip into the fish account with the promise of paying it back when future rains fall. Hashing this matter out is the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS). These federal agencies don’t answer to local water purveyors. The status of discussions remains a matter of mystery and exasperation for local water managers.

Without access to the fish water, Santa Barbara agencies will be forced to pump more water from their groundwater basins than they’ve pumped since the last drought. To do so, most are now scrambling to get their wells at the requisite capacity. For the Goleta Water District in particular, this poses special challenges. Goleta — which declared a Stage III drought emergency this week — lacks the infrastructure necessary to pump well water to about 23 agricultural customers who operate orchards on the very west end of the district. These growers consume about 200 acre-feet a year and are equipped to take only untreated water from Lake Cachuma.

Vision Zero embraced

By a 6-1 vote, the Santa Barbara City Council embraced the sweeping goal of zero traffic fatalities within city limits — a platform dubbed Vision Zero in Sweden, San Francisco, and New York — put forward by bicycle- and pedestrian-transit advocates. How the council hopes to implement this agenda has yet to be seen, but, typically, it involves stepped-up coordination between traffic engineers and traffic cops coupled with an intense public awareness campaign.

In Sweden, the number of road fatalities reportedly dropped by half after Vision Zero was adopted; in San Francisco, it dropped by 25 percent. Giving heft to the advocates’ argument are statistics showing that Santa Barbara ranks second in number of pedestrians injured and fourth for bicyclists hurt in traffic collisions out of 102 California cities with populations between 50,000 and 100,000. In terms of overall injuries and fatalities, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety, Santa Barbara ranks worst. In the past 10 years, there’ve been 28 fatal accidents, five involving bicyclists and 12 pedestrians. Such rankings, however, can be interpreted many ways. Of the 964 bicycle injuries reported in the past 10 years, for example, only 10 percent were deemed “serious” enough by police to require medical attention. Of the five bicycle fatalities, three of the riders were seriously intoxicated.

The push for Vision Zero comes at the same time as City Hall is embarking on a major new bicycle master plan. Advocating for Vision Zero before the council was the brother of a UCSB graduate student who was recently killed while riding his bike outside Santa Maria by a 16-year-old driving a truck. He described the platform as “agnostic in its approach toward pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists,” adding, “It’s not an us-them scenario.” His sentiments were echoed by the mother of a teenage long-distance runner struck by a motorist while on West Valerio Street, who demanded, “Something needs to be done.”

Traffic planners expressed mixed feelings, supporting the notion with one breath while fretting it might divert limited resources from other endeavors with the next. Some councilmembers likewise wondered whether endorsing a feel-good commitment might require bulb-outs, street narrowing, and other traffic-calming measures, which in recent years has been the stuff of intense controversy. A few people argued against Vision Zero, contending traffic safety depended on the per— Nick Welsh sonal responsibility of all involved.

Two male UCSB students were shot during what appears to have been a drug-related melee with two alleged gang members—19-yearold Jose Gutierrez of Goleta and 22-yearold James Taylor of Lompoc. Both Gutierrez and Taylor were also injured in the fight, though the nature of their wounds is unclear.

The victims’ roommates were able to detain Taylor while Gutierrez fled the scene; he was later arrested after he checked himself into the hospital with injuries he claimed resulted from a car accident. As of Tuesday night, all four men remain hospitalized and are expected to recover.

In a campus-wide email, UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang referenced Monday’s “incident off-campus” as well as last year’s murders, and he reminded students that university counselors are available at the Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) center. He encouraged every student to add the school’s Community Service Organization (CSO) safety escort number —893-2000—to his or her cell phone. Richard Martinez, who has spoken against gun violence since his son, Christopher, was shot and killed in the Isla Vista massacre, said this week’s shooting was the worst kind of reminder that gun violence can happen any n place, any time. may 14, 2015

May 23 heroes

Eight officers whose bravery and quick thinking on the night of May 23, 2014, prevented more tragedy received one of the most prestigious honors in law enforcement this week: the H. Thomas Guerry Award for Valor. Before the ceremony, the eight men — members of the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office and the UCSB Police Department — spoke about what the award means to them and what they recalled most from that horrific night, which ended with the loss of six UCSB students.

• Sergeant Brad Welch: Welch called the honor “humbling” and championed his co-honorees for being “consummate professionals.” A father himself, Welch said he feels for the parents who lost their children.

• Deputy Brian Flick: “I’m honored to be here, especially with this group of guys,” said Flick. He recalled hearing the gunfire. “It was really surreal when those first shots rang out,” he said. “We knew it wasn’t fireworks.”

• Deputy Jorden Walker: What he recalled most strongly, Walker said, was the speed with which the incident started and ended. What Walker’s wife, Lauren, said she recalled most was hearing her husband tell her over the phone that he’d been involved in a shooting.

• Deputy Wayne Johnson: Hearing the sound of gunfire and feeling “a sudden explosion of adrenaline” still stick in his memory, said Johnson. He was one of the four officers who fired back at the shooter.

• Deputy Adrien Marquez: “It would have been nice to accept this award under different circumstances,” said Marquez. “I’d rather not get an award at all if it meant that night never happened.”

• Corporal Bradley Prows: Prows joined other responders in administering CPR to three gunshot victims, one of whom survived. Prows said he was humbled by the award. “My mindset is, ‘I’m just doing my job.’”

• Corporal Gregory Pierce: “It’s a little bit of closure for the officers involved,” said Pierce of the award. “Time will heal.”

• Sergeant Dan Wilson: Wilson said the tragic events feel like they happened yesterday and there are “images and voices” that he’ll “never forget.”

Seventeen other Santa Barbara law-enforcement officials were recognized this week with the H. Thomas Guerry Award for Superior Performance. Read more at — Lyz Hoffman independent.com.

Bev Hills and Bart Nelson of Goleta pride themselves on keeping close tabs on their rental properties by day, but they don’t go there at night. So they were shocked when they watched a Foot Patrol video earlier this year of their tenants hosting Red Bull parties on the rooftops of their duplexes at 6680 and 6684 Sabado Tarde Road.

“I was furious,” Hills said. “It was like the roof was a wave.

It was moving!”

Hills and Nelson put their tenants on notice for violating their lease, which allows no more than 10 people for parties in each unit and bars tenants from climbing onto the roof. The lease also allows the couple to fine tenants $500 per unit for playing live amplified music, Hills said.

“It will never be under control anywhere out there,” she said.

“I don’t care if you spend the night on the property.”

Isla Vista ‘Party House’ Owners Put on Notice

by M e l i N d A B u r N s his is Isla Vista: surf and salt air, students on bikes, dogs on skateboards, swimmers on rafts, and across the Channel, the dazzling island view that gives this beach-bluff community its name.

And this is Isla Vista: mega-parties with beer kegs and live bands on the weekend, and thousands of people in the streets, leading to brawls, break-ins, and worse.

Isla Vista has always been a tolerant place. But in the wake of the murder of six UCSB students by a deranged young man last May, the mood is no longer so laid-back.“Party houses” are increasingly under scrutiny as the No. 1 public safety problem in the overcrowded community, and residents want landlords to be part of the solution.

“If the owners of the big party houses would take responsibility for their tenants, they could turn this all around,” said Sue Whisenand, a retired principal who holds neighborhood meetings on public safety at her home in Isla Vista. “They shouldn’t turn a blind eye to what goes on.”

That’s the message that Lieutenant Rob Plastino, head of the Isla Vista Foot Patrol, hopes to convey every week by emailing a log of arrests, citations, and detentions, grouped by address, to property owners and management companies that sign up for it.

Isla Vista, the long-neglected stepchild of the county, has been under a microscope since last year’s murders, Plastino said, and landlords are no exception. After a slow start 18 months ago, he said, 70 property owners and managers are now signed up to receive the weekly logs. A few have come in to watch videos of parties at their buildings.

“It has definitely ramped up,” Plastino said of his email campaign. “I haven’t seen it manifest itself in real evictions until recently. Landlords are now working toward making Isla Vista a better place. They’re thriving in this community and should have some stake in its well-being.”

To help spread the word, the Isla Vista Property Owners Association sent out a bulletin aimed at 1,000 owners and managers titled “The Foot Patrol Needs Our Help.” The bulletin advised landlords to ban live music and “loud, unruly, or disturbing partying,” send notices of violations to parents, and be prepared to evict tenants, if necessary.

But sometimes the trouble spills over from next door. Peter Neushul, a UCSB graduate, UCSB history teacher, and longtime Isla Vista resident, recently watched a Foot Patrol video of a live band party at 6614 Del Playa that overflowed onto his rental property. His tenants called the police, Neushul said.

“There was a live band playing, and a large group of people

BLASTED: Hundreds of partyers in the backyard of 6776

It’s not that all parties should be banned, Isla Vistans say: They “get” that they live in a college town. Of 15,000 residents, nearly 13,000 are students. But in the absence of a local government and regulations that are enforced, residents say, the mega-party culture is self-perpetuating and violence will find a channel.

“The people in I.V. are desperate for fixing, for a safer, more sustainable community,” said Cameron Schunk, a UCSB senior and the external vice president for local affairs for the university’s Associated Students.

“This is a place you can call home. It is more than a student free-for-all. Even the students feel that way.

We’re all kind of in this together.”

The county’s 2014-2015 property tax roll for Isla Vista lists 920 properties, most of them owned by investors who live elsewhere on the South Coast.

Only 34 are listed on the Foot Patrol arrest logs for February and March weekends on average, but the list is different every week. Addresses on Del Playa Drive, Sabado Tarde Road, and Trigo Road figure prominently. The properties in the log are not necessarily party houses, Plastino said: Most arrests and citations occur in the street.

On a typical Friday or Saturday night, though, the Foot Patrol may shut down as many as five parties, Plastino said.

The logs for February and March show an average of 66 arrests, citations, and detentions per weekend on charges ranging from underage drinking and loud music to burglary and battery. Isla Vista has only 7 percent of the county’s population but accounts for 25 percent of the county’s serious crime.

Party houses change location from one weekend to the next, like shifting sand. But there are some chronic party houses, including the OK Chalet, a six-bedroom apartment building at 6789 Sabado Tarde Road, which Plastino says has been a problem off and on for years. Jessie Jay Benenati, a Santa Barbara realtor, bought it in 2003 and sold it last year to a Los Angeles investor for more than $1.3 million, court records show.

“I wanted out,” Benenati said.“The students drove me nuts.

Until the cops really do something about it, Isla Vista is going to be degrading year after year.”

Another chronic party house, the Foot Patrol said, is a 15-bedroom apartment building at 6777 Del Playa Drive, one of four Isla Vista properties owned by Alta Community Investment VIII LLC of Westlake Village. The total assessed value of these properties is $7.4 million. Todd Kaufman, one of the owners, said the group had spent “a ton of money” renovating 6777 Del Playa “to make it one of the nicest on the strand there.” But he said the tenants were being treated “too much like clients and not enough like kids,” so the company evicted a few of them and switched property managers.

“I don’t think we were fully aware of what was going on,” Kaufman said. From now on, he said, parents will be asked to cosign all lease agreements.

James Gelb of Montecito, one of Isla Vista’s biggest landlords, said the real problem is that most owners do not manage their properties themselves.

Gelb owns and manages 29 properties on Del Playa (DP), more than any other landlord on the street.

The Foot Patrol says it has shut down many parties in Gelb’s apartments. But Gelb has not signed up for the weekly log. He said he can’t be expected to “be a police officer” for his 600 tenants. It’s enough, he said, that he walks the street during weekdays and picks up bottles and cans.

Gelb owns a total of 32 properties in Isla Vista with an assessed value of $39 million on the county property tax roll.

“I can’t hire security guards,” he said. “I have limited resources. Everybody has party houses on DP. Who am I to go out there on the weekends and risk my life to go break up a party? There are adults there, and if they want to be stupid, they’re stupid. It’s not my fault, and there’s not a lot I can do.

“I take a lot of crap out there,” he went on. “I’m 57, and the students make fun of me. I have high blood pressure from these people. I do the best I can.” n

Robert William “Bob” Dodson 05/13/42 – 04/29/15

Bob Dodson, a long-time resident of Santa Barbara, passed away peacefully Wednesday, April 29, at Cottage Hospital with his loving wife Elaine by his side and, at death as in life, surrounded by friends and loved ones for a last goodbye. Bob lost a fierce 5+ year battle with pancreatic cancer that began in 2009.

Bob will always be remembered for his kindness, laughter and joy. He left his friends and loved ones reluctantly.

Born in New York on May 13, 1942, he grew up in the Bronx, and at age 10 his family moved to Port Washington on Long Island where he enjoyed the freedom of the suburbs.

Always the sweet social middle child, Bob easily made many friends that he kept for life. Known as “Gills” at Boy Scout Camp, he held a record for holding his breath under water the longest. At Paul D. Schreiber High School he dabbled in politics (running for class president) and theater (The Iceman Cometh), and was a big asset to his football team (tackle). After high school graduation in 1960, he joined the navy and spent an eventful four years on the Submarine Tender, the U.S.S. Gilmore stationed in Charleston, SC. Bob was very proud of his time in the navy, where he also earned the friendship of many of his shipmates. His family was so pleased when he was awarded a “Man of the Month” plaque.

His ship was sent to Cuba during the Bay of Pigs military blockade. He entertained us with many interesting stories about his antics in high school and 4 years in the U.S. Navy. Bob remained a patriotic citizen all his life.

Service completed — he returned to Port Washington and reunited with his High School sweetheart Elaine Small, who had also returned after completing her education in Physical Therapy. They were married in 1967 and headed west. Utilizing the G.I. Bill, Bob started college in northern California, transferring to UC Berkeley to complete his undergraduate degree. During his stay in northern California, Bob became a loyal fan of the SF 49ers and enjoyed watching all football. Throughout his life, his friends were always welcome to stop by when a game was on for an impromptu gathering and friendly bet. Bob and Elaine relocated to Los Angeles as Bob was accepted to the Physical Therapy program at Children’s Hospital, graduating as a Physical Therapist in November 1972. In 1973, they set off to travel Europe for many months in a new VW van before returning to California and a job for Bob at Cottage Hospital’s Physical Therapy Department in January 1974. At Cottage Hospital Bob made many life-long friends, some of whom were at his side to say goodbye. He helped coach the “Cottage Cuties” softball team and threw fabulous parties at his house for staff and friends.

When he left Cottage Hospital, he and Elaine established their own business “Dodson’s Therapy” in Goleta and also had a mobile van for treating patients in their homes.

After many hard-working years of serving the Santa Barbara Community’s rehabilitation needs, Bob and Elaine retired in 1984.

Traveling, camping, entertaining friends and spending time at their lovely home in Lake Tahoe occupied a great deal of their time until Elaine’s death in 2005.

In 2008, Bob was fortunate to meet the second love of his life, Elaine Daugherty. Their relationship grew, and they were married in a beautiful ceremony at Ashland OR in May 2012, when a new chapter of life began for both.

Bob did not have children of his own, but he totally welcomed Elaine’s three adult children and six grandchildren. During Bob and Elaine’s time together, they honeymooned along the coast of California, visiting Bob’s earlier life at Cal Berkeley and the commune on Cannery Row in Monterey. Together, they remodeled their home, went to New York to see the fall colors and attend Bob’s 50th high school reunion, and enjoyed a friend’s ranch in Northern CA surveying their tree farm plus a little fishing. Most important of all, Bob and Elaine spent five glorious summers in Tahoe, full of family, friends and laughter.

Bob enjoyed the Symphony, Opera, the Cal Lottery, stock market, barbecuing, Wednesday nights with his fellow harbor guys, and preparing a “Bob’s Fog” for his friends.

Embracing the good side of everything was natural for Bob, and we will miss him every day. What an amazing man!

Pending services will be private, but look up and send a toast to Bob in every magnificent sunset. He would like that.

Bob is preceded in death by his first wife Elaine, parents Horace and Eileen Dodson, and beloved cousin James R. Gaffney.

Bob is survived by his devoted and loving wife Elaine and her three children Kasey, Megan and Kevin; brother James Dodson (Nory) and nephew Mark of Madrid, Spain; sister Ellen Clemons (Bob) of Santa Barbara; sister-in-law Genora (Small) Germek of Magalia and niece Colleen McDonnell (Rob) of Washington State; and many loving friends and extended family.

Marlowe Goldsby

Marlowe was raised in his beloved Seattle, an only child, by his mother Libby Shapro Goldsby and father Thornton Goldsby, III. His childhood was a very colorful and extraordinary one. After school he would take a streetcar to the Arctic Club (his father was one of the founders) as well as the Rainier Club, of which Marlowe later became a member. At the age of 13, he had the largest Bar Mitzvah ever held at the Seattle Temple.

His mother was a pillar of the congregation, helping Jewish immigrants to acclimate to American life. His dear father, who always called Marlowe “Chappy,” died in Seattle of pneumonia.

At the age of 14, Marlowe contracted pneumonia as well. Libby brought him to southern California for health reasons. She then started the first Reform Temple in Glendale, CA, where Marlowe taught Sunday School for many years. He returned to the University of Washington for college, where he was President of his fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau. He was influential in many instances in bringing young men in as students at the University. One of these was Jamshid Amouzegar, who later became the 71st Prime Minister of Iran. Marlowe and Arlyn were invited many times to visit before the coup.

When WWII broke out, he left the University with a friend and enlisted. He was in the 9th Air Force and flew many missions from 1942-1946. Having many dear friends lost, it stayed with him for years. He was a most loyal friend who on one occasion flew to San Francisco for a friend’s funeral in a most horrific thunderstorm. He was the only participant there.

In his leisure time, he flew a seaplane over Lake Washington and the San Juan Islands.

He raced cars in Long Beach and was an avid salmon fisherman. Every year, he flew to Alaska with his buddies. He skied all the mountains in the Pacific Northwest and hunted ducks on his yearly trips to Oregon at

his uncle’s farm.

In the early 80s, Marlowe established Burton James, a high-end upholstered furniture line, which is still in existence. He was also president of the LA Furniture Guild for two years. He was a true intellectual and an avid reader. He adored American history and was a true Anglophile. He always said he knew a little bit about a lot of things.

Over the years, travels included many exotic places and yearly trips to England. He and Arlyn were frequent guests at Longleat House, with friend Alex Weymouth, now Lord Bath. They also visited the Cotswolds ,where they were the guests of Sir Robin Fender and his wife Myrtle. Sir Robin was the first test pilot in England for the Sopwith Camel airplane. Their dear friend, Judge Marcus Anwyl Davies, entertained them many times at his farm in Sussex and at many formal parties at the Reform Club in London. As his guests, they attended the Changing of the Guards in the private stands. Over the years, they flew one of the first trips on the Concord to London, made an extensive trip on the Orient Express, and sailed the Queen Mary from London to New York so they could see the Statue of Liberty at daybreak. New York was a great high, visiting the museums, shopping, theater, and walking the streets of Manhattan, where they stayed twice a year at the Metropolitan Club.

Marlowe was generous to a fault, particularly to service people and underdogs. He was a man’s man, and women adored him.

He is survived by the love of his life, Arlyn, and his adoring daughter Jann Goldsby and loving son Wade Goldsby. He is also survived by his stepdaughter, Toby Donner, and her husband Bill, his stepson and wife Steven and Debra Greenwood, and five grandchildren, Jamie, Laura, Aaron, Matthew, and Lauren.

Donations in Marlowe’s memory may be made to the American Veterans Center, Attn: Gift of Support, 1100 N. Glebe Road, Suite 910, Arlington, VA 22201.

Helen is survived by her mother Ingela and step father Jess Pagliassotti of Montecito, her daughter Caitlyn Irene Breck of Carpinteria, Toby Breck of Santa Barbara, brother Warren Seager and family of Lompoc, stepbrother Bill Mathew of Bakersfield, cousin Janikke and family of Vancouver, Canada, family in Sweden, and many, many friends on the East and West Coasts. She is preceded in death by her daughter-Heather Eva Hales Breck and father Warren Armstrong Seager.

Helen was a very strong person with loyalty to all those she loved. After years of bravely battling health issues. Helen finally succumbed to her illnesses. She was a wonderful Mother, daughter and True Friend. We were so blessed to have her in our lives, and she will live forever in our hearts.

In celebration of Helen’s life, a Gathering and Paddle Out will be held at 12:00 Saturday May 16th, at 4th Beach in Carpinteria. It will be immediately followed by a reception. We hope that everyone who knew and loved Helen will come and share memories, enjoy the slideshow, photos, and food, and send their love to the family.

Frank M. Clark

Helen Eva Seager Breck 05/18/58 – 05/03/15

Helen Eva Seagar Breck passed away peacefully on Sunday May 3, 2015, in Santa Barbara, California.

Helen was born to Ingela and Warren Seager on May 18, 1958, in Brussels, Belguim.

Their family moved to the United States in 1960 and made their home in Washington D.C. Helen lived there until 1978, when she moved to beautiful Santa Barbara in Southern California. She fell in love with the area and established her career and raised her family there.

Helen married Toby Breck, and on August 15, 1984, Helen welcomed the birth of her first child, Heather. Then 10 years later, on May 20, 1994, she welcomed her second child, Caitlyn.

She loved being a Mom and cherished both of her children.

Helen loved to spend the day at the beach with her family and friends. Her home was always open to everyone she loved and for several decades it was the gathering place for many friends and children. She also loved football, especially the Washington Redskins.

Frank was born in Santa Barbara after his father left New York in 1928 headed for California. From a very early age, he became interested in aviation, participating in Civil Air Patrol and working with the aerospace industry for several decades. He went on to become an aircraft designer, entrepreneur, father of two, historian, and avid sailor. Of his many passions & hobbies, sailboat racing & cruising were his favorite joining the Santa Barbara Yacht Club in 1978, lovingly referred to as his “center of operations” until present.

In his later years, he rekindled a childhood interest of constructing model airplanes and served as president of Santa Barbara Radio Control Modelers. Yet another great chapter was his research into ancient origins of human civilization, traveling the world in search of truth. He also spent several years working at Foodbank of Santa Barbara County and volunteered harvesting crops for the needy.

Frank’s greatest asset was his ability to bring joy to the lives of others with his humor and wit, always living for the moment and seeking out the best in those he chose to befriend. His last days were spent defying the odds, enjoying a race at the club and time with good friends at the local car show. He is survived by son Steven.

Memorial service will be held, for details, please contact (805) 452-2342 or megalifter@ gmail.com.

desalination: A necessary Step

We’ll Need Dependable Water If Winter Is Dry

N

by Bendy White

ext month, the Santa Barbara

City Council will take a critical action to rehabilitate our mothballed desalination plant.

I support the project, despite my misgivings about its environmental impacts. As one mitigation to the plant’s enormous energy demand, I will also support funding a study of Community Choice Energy, one of our best options for greening up the region’s energy portfolio.

We’re experiencing the hottest, driest four-year period in recorded history, and Santa Barbara’s customary water sources are petering out. With a 25 percent cut in use, we will have enough water to make it through 2016. But without major rainfall in the winter of 2016-17, we’ll have less than half our normal supply. Cutting our use in half in less than two years would be very tough, indeed. The Santa Barbara landscape would suffer irreparable damage.

Last winter, we started looking in earnest at firing up our mothballed desalination plant. The desal plant was built in a panic 25 years ago when the unthinkable occurred —Gibraltar went dry, and Cachuma nearly did so. Now, lake levels are once again low and dropping fast. The State Water system, in which we invested hundreds of millions of dollars, will deliver only a tiny fraction of our allocation.

For the contingency of a fifth year of drought, the city’s Long-Term Water Supply Plan calls for the desal plant to go back online. The desal plant will provide a quarter of our normal supply. If more drought years come, the plant can be scaled up to provide two-thirds of our normal use.

to use moderate tiered rates to encourage conservation. But we’re prevented from going back to the system that was so successful in the last drought. Turns out those disciplinary rates violate Proposition 218, a recent constitutional amendment, which ties rates to the cost of water rather than to its use. In times of shortage, we need the flexibility to use rates to control excessive water use. I hope that state legislators move quickly to put conservation rates on the ballot. It is the fairest and most efficient method we have to manage our water use.

Water Purchases and Banking

This drought is seeing a dramatic growth in water purchases, wherein cities purchase water for short-term use from farmers and agencies with surplus supplies. Santa Barbara has purchased water from Vandenberg Air Force Base and Sacramento Valley rice farmers, among others. The pipe that was built to bring State Water moves purchased water through the state’s network of canals and into our local system. Together with rates, water purchases have the most potential for cities to maintain adequate supplies while keeping farmers whole.

Regardless, conservation will continue to play a strong role in controlling water use.

I say “continue” because Santa Barbara is a leader in water conservation. Over the last 25 years, a range of programs, such as toilet, appliance, and landscape rebates, plumbing audits, and rain-sensing irrigation systems, have resulted in a major reduction in use. Even in normal years (remember those?) and including significant urban growth, Santa Barbara’s water use is 20 percent less than in the mid-1980s.

Water Rates

Water rates have been key to Santa Barbara’s conservation effort. In the drought of 1987-91, Santa Barbara introduced the “Big Bang” of conservation rates. The emergency tiered rate structure penalized high water consumption so stiffly that water use was cut in half in a matter of months.

Since then, Santa Barbara has continued

Planning for the Future

Planning at state and federal levels will need to deal with more water worries linked to Cachuma Reservoir and other systems statewide. With Cachuma, local stakeholders are cringing in wait for the “biological opinion” soon to be handed down by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Our worry is that more Cachuma water — much more — could be allocated to the steelhead trout. We’ll have to compensate for that reduction with conservation and other supplies.

Farms are responsible for 80 percent of California’s water use and are largely responsible for overdrafting virtually all the state’s groundwater basins. And the water doesn’t just go to high-value orchards and vineyards. For example, California grows over a million acres of hay, a low-value crop that uses nearly as much water as all our cities combined. I would support paying alfalfa farms handsomely for a bit of their water, particularly if it meant we could avoid investing tens of millions of dollars in a desal plant.

Water planning takes lots of time, negotiation, and money. I hope this drought helps focus everyone’s attention on making California’s water system fairer, greener, and more sustainable. We’ve got a very long way to go. Meanwhile, in the face of this terrible drought, Santa Barbara’s best option is to move forward with the desal plant. It will be n expensive, but it will be dependable.

Federal Parks’ Island Agenda

T

hough saddened, I was certainly not surprised the National Park Service (NPS) chose Option 3 for the Channel Islands. At the Faulkner Gallery info session, people stated it was the least palatable option, but it was very apparent the NPS was squarely behind it. Questions that remain unanswered: Who has requested more Channel Island access? I certainly know no one in favor of more people and more development at the islands. With an eye-popping $62 million initial price tag and an estimated $14 million more in annual maintenance, how can this option be on the table?

Our Channel Islands are a national treasure. They have historically been a place of refuge, relaxation, and escape. What is best is for the islands to be left alone in their natural state (an example is the Nature Conservancy’s stewardship of Santa Cruz Island). I certainly hope the NPS will listen to the community’s — Paul C. Kuhn, S.B. input before acting.

Heartsick over Daily

S

ad that a letter writer found fault with Barney Brantingham for mentioning Pulitzer-winner Rob Kuznia was a “Fired News-Presser.” I think the point was to remind us of the excellent reporters the Santa Barbara News-Press once had. I doubt Brantingham is bitter, but like the majority of us who remember, he is heartsick about the current state of our once prize-winning daily. He wrote for the N-P for 46 years, starting when Pulitzer-winner Thomas Storke was the editor/owner.

To say “Santa Barbara has moved on” doesn’t recognize the fact the paper is a skeleton of its former self.

Maybe new residents don’t know what they are missing, but most of us “true locals” are still upset about what we’ve lost.

Delta Water Grab

G

ov. Brown’s recent removal of the restoration piece of his dual-goal strategy to save the SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta and make exported water more reliable undercuts his own rationale for the white elephant of a project known as the Twin Tunnels.

By suddenly excising the habitat component, the Brown administration has acknowledged that the Bay Delta Conservation Plan has absolutely nothing to do with conservation. Further, his action undermines the legal standing of the project, making it vulnerable to costly lawsuits.

Finally, the move reveals the project as a ruinously expensive and environmentally destructive conveyance system that has no real beneficiaries beyond a handful of corporate farmers in the western San Joaquin Valley and the Tulare Basin. The Twin Tunnels will not produce a single extra drop of water for California, nor will they achieve their putative purpose of guaranteeing water security. They cannot deliver water when there is no water to deliver.

We need to put our public funds, our ingenuity, and our energy in maximizing sustainable water supplies through conservation, recycling, development of local sources, storm-water capture, and limited desalinization—not with ineffectual “legacy” projects that will burden our children and grandchildren with unconscionable debt.

The Creatives Are Coming!

LET THEM DRINK PERRIER: I’m sitting here

wondering what to make of these two New York Times headlines: “The End of California?” and “Escape from New York.”

The first laments that our state just might dry up and blow away, while the second proclaims that young Gothamites are fleeing to the creative arms of this same California.

Whether these lionized “young creatives,” as the Times calls them, will find artistic freedom, fame, and fortune 3,000 miles west of the muggers, slackers, and blizzards remains to be seen.

But ready or not, drought or not, they’re coming, according to the Times. “It’s okay, because they only drink Perrier and take group showers at their health club,” a friend points out.

It’s all a bit amusing to Santa Barbarans I know to find that New Yorkers, who long have sniffed snobbishly at vulgar California, are being lured to the sun-kissed culture where you actually need a car but it’s okay to turn right on the red.

Okay, New York, send us your arty coffeehouse wannabes, but how about throwing in a few witty Dorothy Parkers and Oscar Levants?

But as Timothy Egan points out in his May 3 “End of California” piece, an expatriate New Yorker could find himself or herself accused of H2O war crimes for innocently

violating a mounting list of water rules. A green lawn or “conspicuously clean” car can draw your neighbor’s glare from behind the curtains. And for “young creatives” dreaming of writing a film script by the swimming pool, drink in hand, the good news is that the City of Santa Barbara just refused to ban new pools. After all, things aren’t that bad.

As for the drought, we’ll get through it, even if we have to dam Yosemite to keep our lawns green and plant more almond trees (it takes a gallon to grow a single nut, according to Egan).

Growing alfalfa, which consumes about 20 percent of California’s irrigation water, and then exporting it and other thirsty crops overseas, essentially means that the state is “shipping its precious water to China,” Egan pointed out.

Tell it to Jerry Brown.

Forgives, Empowers

L

ena Terry remembers seeing her future hus-

band speak from the pulpit for the first time, when she was new to Santa Barbara and searching for a church. Friendship Baptist sounded most inviting, and that’s where she found Keith Terry giving a sermon titled “That Was Then, This Is Now.” That phrase, it turns out, could serve as a tagline for Keith’s entire existence.

Today, from a cramped office adorned with posters of César Chávez, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr., behind that same church on the corner of Cota and Milpas streets, Keith Terry runs a nonprofit called YStrive, which offers educational opportunities and job-training skills for the riskiest of at-risk youth. “We take young people who other programs won’t take or can’t take, and we help them reach their goals with education and employment,” said Terry. In other words, when everybody else has given up on these kids, Terry finds the power to forgive.

It took time for Lena to feel that way again after the night of December 30, 2009, when a 15-year-old attempted to rob her two sons in Palmdale as part of a gang initiation. When her older son spoke back, the robber executed him with a shotgun blast to the head. Lena couldn’t bear the thought of associating

food, provides them jobs.”

Terry’s been known to offer his office as a crash pad and to work for free on job sites that require a minimum amount of workers so his trainees don’t lose out on a paycheck, and he personally ended a bullying situation for one San Marcos High student who’s now thriving at Westmont College.

Bonnie Switack, a former assistant principal at La Cuesta High School, recalled Terry helping a murdered student’s family cope with their loss, even setting up a scholarship fund in his name. She met Terry at La Cuesta, where he ran a California

with gang members herself, but Keith’s seemingly superhuman power to withhold judgment is quite contagious. Lena has not reprised her role leading a women’s group at YStrive, but she serves on the board and occasionally counsels young women on an individual basis.“When dealing with young people,” she said,“I try to focus on what is, not what was.”

Though theology has no real place in YStrive, I imagined that such a trait must be rooted in Terry’s faith, so I paid a visit to Friendship Baptist one Sunday in March to watch Terry preach. It was the type of sermon you might expect to hear in any church, but Terry’s delivery is artful, his voice trailing off into a quiver toward the end of his most pitched sentences, almost as if he is about to cry — a quality reminiscent of Martin Luther King Jr., who also happened to be a Baptist preacher.

And like MLK, Terry finds inspiration for social movements from his spiritual life, evidenced by his increasing role in the Pro-Youth Coalition meetings and presence in Black Lives Matter protests.

By the end, the sermon did shed a bit of light into Terry’s secular YStrive work. He reflected critically on the simple threshold of getting to heaven by accepting Jesus as one’s savior, expressing the opinion that if one truly loves Jesus, that faith will be manifest through good works.“If you love someone,” he said,“there are things you will do out of compassion.”

Putting in Work

Keith Terry “should be a national treasure,” believes Michael Wilds, whose Oxford Academy offers classes to YStrive students at a reduced cost.“He goes to homes of kids, brings them food,” he explained. “He gets people to donate clothes and

When funding ran out in 2006, three students urged him to start his own organization “to help the homies.”

He met with them over burritos at Super Cucas to explain how daunting that would be, but they wouldn’t let him say no. His first donation came from Kathy Abney, former principal of HELPING HAND: Led by Keith Terry, the nonprofit YStrive has La Cuesta.

on the more intense side of the “atrisk” spectrum. Aside from growing up in poverty or with single parents or as minorities or with learning disabilities, many of these clients are gang-affiliated (20 percent in 2013), some have been incarcerated multiple times, some struggle with substance abuse, and almost all come from broken homes.

Gary Fuller, the owner of Acme Detection, has contracted out to Keith’s protégés in the past. On tough jobs, some have just “literally” walked away, but “the ones that did show up to work and stayed were good,” said Fuller, praising Terry’s responsiveness and attention to his workers.“If you don’t give them something to do,” said Fuller in support of the program, “they are going to revert to what they know.”

Man With thE PLan

Forceful in person, Keith Terry can easily make himself the center of attention, but he’s neither sought nor received much public recognition for his YStrive work. His low profile strategically maintains the precarious trust of the children and young adults he serves, but his wife, Lena, says that it’s not in his DNA to seek accolades anyway.“He’s not looking for a pat on the back,” she said. “He’s just looking for someone to come back five years later to say they are doing well.”

A navy veteran, Terry originally moved to Santa Barbara in 2000 to take a job as a locksmith at UCSB. He entered the world of gang intervention when he met Matt Sanchez, the ex-Eastside shot caller who founded programs like All for One and Hoods in the Woods, at New Life Church Santa Barbara. Terry’s relationship with the late Sanchez would endure, but he moved away from the bustling New Life church because he felt as if he could do more for a church with a struggling congregation.

As executive director of YStrive, Terry pays himself just $36,000 a year.

“I don’t like having trouble paying the rent,” he said of his irresistible urge to side with the underdog, starting a litany of indignities that accompany his choice of putting passion before profit. “I don’t like not being able to get my car fixed, I don’t like the long hours that keep me from my family …” Then, on a reflective note, he said,“I grew up a black man in America — the odds have never been in my favor.”

The same can be said for Terry’s success stories. Take one young man, who came to YStrive in 2011 and now works as a mentor. A two-striker named in the city’s failed gang injunction who was diagnosed with both OCD and ADHD as a child, he grew up with a father in and out of prison.

His mother held two master’s degrees from Mexico but came to Santa Barbara to work as a housekeeper because she thought he would have a better shot at keeping his nose clean here.

Though just 25 years old, this man has already clocked nearly a decade in jail. His first strike was for attempted murder when a rival gang member attacked him at Skater’s Point. When his attacker dropped a knife, he picked it up, threw it back — and it stuck. His second strike came during a race riot in prison. (Participation in such affairs, he explained, is not optional.)

cover story

SAFETY FIRST: Trainer Bobby Jacob (right) demonstrates proper use of a circular saw with the help of Oscar Cervantes.

Despite the troubled past, he is extremely thoughtful and articulate. When he spoke up against the gang injunction, he was quoted in the media. He even condemns his gangbanging past, which is very rare and makes him one of Terry’s prized pupils. In fact, he initially interviewed completely on the record, but when his former gang associates recently began antagonizing him for ditching them,YStrive requested that The Santa Barbara Independent not use his name.

When I asked him how he could be so violent in one context and so measured in another, he said that, when in a gang, you’re enveloped in a world where violence is normalized. If you are a competitive tennis player, he told me,“you’re going to breathe tennis and eat tennis.

You have to live a certain lifestyle to survive a certain lifestyle.”

His lifestyle almost proved fatal. While incarcerated at Calipatria State Prison, another inmate threw him off the top tier. He broke both arms and his jaw, nose, and an ankle. He dislocated his hip, and his mouth was wired shut. It was during his recovery that he gained an admiration for his physical trainer, a profession that he would like to one day enter. Because his second strike is categorized as a hate crime, he can’t spend time in certain public —Keith Terry spaces, including college campuses. So for the time being, he teaches YStrive clients carpentry skills and safety protocol.

Terry can empathize with such people because his own youth is checkered with destructive behavior. He modeled YStrive in part after a New York City mentorship program called Inner City Youth that a judge assigned him to after he stole a car at age 15.

As an adult, Terry’s first experiences in intervention were as a night watchman for the Hoods in the Woods program that took rival gang members on camping trips. The further the kids got from Santa Barbara, Terry explained, the more visibly relaxed they became.

They didn’t need to look over their shoulders for cops; they didn’t need to impress their homies; they didn’t need to put on a tough facade. They were finally free to just be kids.

What about those gang members that do committ horrendous crimes? “What we have is a group of young people who are bored out of their skull and have no resources,” he said, “and they’re forced to make decisions based on what’s on their plate.” When a group dynamic takes over, these young people stop thinking for themselves, he explained. He also likes to point out, in his provocative fashion, that health care workers kill more people than guns, or that our criminal justice system is also violent.“I don’t condone what they do,” he said about gangs,“but I don’t always condone what my government does or what the police do or what teachers do.”

‘

MEasuring succEss

Another inspiration for YStrive is Homeboy Industries, the famed Los Angeles intervention program that runs several businesses, including a silk-screening shop, bakery, and food truck along with job training, mental-health services, and tattoo removal. But Terry has nowhere near Homeboy’s support or staff.

After initial funding came from the grassrootsfocused Fund for Santa Barbara, YStrive’s primary financial support now comes from the J.S. Bower Foundation, which is led by Santa Barbara native Jon Clark, who’s known for taking risks. “This is a tough area to fund in, and I see why other people don’t,” said Clark, who appreciates that YStrive success stories may not look exceptional, according to commonly used measures. “You’re dealing with individual lives, but you have to fit into a system of metrics,” explained YStrive boardmember Chris Fischer. “How do you fit into a benchmarked model?”

Clark believes there is more than metrics when it comes to funding.

“When you sit down and talk with [YStrive clients], you get the feeling that [ignoring them] is not the right thing to do,” said Clark.“A lot of the guys have kids. Writing them off doesn’t seem to be the right thing to do.”

What we have is a group of young people who are bored out of their skull and have no resources, and they’re forced to make decisions based on what’s on their plate.

’

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE: “We want things to be different 10 years from now,” said Jon Clark, who heads YStrive’s primary backer, the J. S. Bower Foundation. continued>>>

cover story

COMING OF AGE: Julio Rincon Delgado (left), who is in YStrive’s job training program, would like to work in sustainable permaculture. Alma Hernandez (below) helped run YStrive for 10 years while, with encouragement from Terry, also pursuing higher education. She graduates UCSB next month.

Still, Clark is not in the business of throwing money down the toilet, so last fall he hired UCSB education professor Jill Sharkey to evaluate YStrive by comparing clients’ recidivism rates to the general population.

She found that the data pool was too small, explained that recidivism alone may not tell the whole story, and advocated better tracking of clients to aid future evaluations.

“It is very, very challenging to do rigorous evaluation of a population that is small and is high-risk,” Sharkey told me last month. But she emphasized that individual relationships go a long way toward making a difference, explaining, “One of the most important variables across interventions is therapeutic rapport.”

That’s where Terry shines. Clients feel comfortable with him, and he’s even able to get Eastsiders and Westsiders to work side by side. Oscar Cervantes is a 21-year-old who started on a downward spiral of bad decision-making when a knee injury ended his shortlived career as a scholarship soccer player at Bishop Diego. “He’s a really caring person,” said Cervantes of Terry.

“He shows love. He shows respect.”

Last week, while I was at YStrive, Cervantes stopped by after being a no-show for a landscaping job. Terry turned from me to Cervantes and said, “Do you like ice cream? Let’s go get an ice cream.” Perhaps Terry’s greatest product is not skills but unconditional love.

That doesn’t cut it for everybody.

County probation doesn’t refer kids to YStrive, in part because Terry ignores conventional advice, like not commingling juveniles with adults.

(In the time I spent there, I met one juvenile in the job-training program, a 17-year-old.)

They prefer techniques such as Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), which requires intensive counseling sessions focused on reasoning and logic skills two or three times a week, said Steven DeLira, Santa Barbara County’s deputy chief probation officer. But he admitted that it’s tough to get somebody who is not in custody to adhere to such a program.

at a

crossroads

Keith Terry wants to track the YStrive clients better and is implementing a number of Sharkey’s suggestions, including new survey materials. But tracking well takes training and time, and Terry already lost a key staffer earlier this year. If he’s the passionate face of YStrive, Alma Hernandez was the steady balancing force in the background.

“Keith is a person that works very hard, long hours,” she said.“He doesn’t like to give up. He always follows through on whatever program, individual, whatever he needs to work on. He’s very loving and smart. And it all plays into his role in YStrive.” She added that he’s stubborn; he’d always offer money and jobs even when times were tight.“On my side,” she explained,“it was like, ‘No, we don’t have it.’”

Hernandez’s uncle lives right across the street from Friendship Baptist, and she joined a church youth group at the age of 10. She helped found YStrive at age 16 and worked her way up to become instrumental in applying for and administering grants. She enrolled in SBCC and then transferred to UCSB all while working at YStrive and left the organization when her studies in communication got too rigorous to keep a job, as well.

When Hernandez graduates next month, she’ll be standing at a crossroads. Part of her would like to continue on with YStrive because she cares about juvenile justice and has already donated so much of her life to the cause. But there are student loans to pay back, so she could use a well-paying job.“The work that we did [at YStrive] was from our hearts,” she said.“At the same time, we need to pay our bills.”

Terry professes the theory that “the further you are socially, culturally, financially from the people you serve, the less able you are to help them”— that empathy dies with distance. If YStrive were nothing more than an enduring reminder of our less-fortunate neighbors, a smoke signal from a forgotten island in our collective conscience, that might alone make it worthwhile. But if Terry is to become a martyr who tends to hopeless souls so that we can continue on with our everyday lives, that may be a sin too big to n forgive.

What Every Parent In America Needs To Know:

You are in a daily competition for the loyalty, heart, and soul of your children. Your competition is all around you and you need to get in the game!

Healthy and happy children are not the result of more youth programs, pools, parks, or police on the streets. Happy children and safe communities are the result of parents who raise respectful and obedient children. That’s what Parents on a Mission is all about.

Join Me For My Half-Day Seminar On: How to build healthy relationships and win the battle for loyalty.

How blended families can thrive—not just survive.

How to connect, communicate, and earn respect for your parental authority.

Closing the high-tech gap with high-touch parenting.

Why YOU—not programs—are the number one asset in your child’s life…and much, much more!

Arts & Craftrsns Show Tu

Every Sunday, more than 150 artists line up on Cabrillo Boulevard to sell their paintings, photographs, ceramics, and countless other wares to both tourists and residents who pass by. It’s easy for those of us who live here to take the Santa Barbara Arts & Crafts Show for granted, but the weekly affair — which celebrates its 50th anniversary this month with a Spencer the Gardener concert on Sunday, May 17, 1-3 p.m.— is uniquely responsible for fostering countless homegrown artists and providing an outlet to turn one’s passion into a profit.

“Having a chance to talk to people and see what they like or don’t like about your product is invaluable,” said leather smith Steve Junak, who’s been selling at the beach for 44 of the 50 years, since 1971. “That’s an amazing opportunity for a beginning artist or craftsperson.” He also enjoys meeting people from all over the world and the camaraderie of being around other artists who have become lifelong friends. “It’s tied in really well with how Adult Ed teaches people how to have a little paying hobby,” he said. “It’s really a neat thing.”

With sprawling vistas of the coast, jagged rock walls, and even a bit of running water, Rattlesnake Canyon Trail, only miles from downtown Santa Barbara, is one of the region’s most popular hiking routes. Deva Borthwick (above, left) and Silvia Tercero, both UCSB students, came out for a jaunt up the canyon to collect beetles, butterflies, dragonflies, and other bugs for an invertebrate lab project. Others just came out to enjoy the fresh air. “We’re working off the weekend and spending some time out of the house,” said Caitlin McCahill while hiking down the trail with Jarryd Hensel. The two (at left) usually hike on the Montecito trails but decided to make a change this weekend and hike the 3.5 miles out and back to the sweeping wildflower meadow, a delightful payoff after trekking the winding route uphill.

aksy Plackis-Cheng arrived in Santa Barbara more than a decade ago because of her private-sector ties to Software.com, but the region’s vibrant nonprofit community is what made The Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), founded in 1999, uses Ambassador wolves to connect people with wolves and offer environmental education. through educational programs and a partnership with the association of Zoos & aquariums (aZa) in the Species Survival plan (SSp), Wcc promotes the Dutch marketing and management executive stay. While serving wolf conservation for the endangered mexican gray wolf and the red wolf. on the boards of the Santa Barbara Symphony, Opera Santa Barbara, and other organizations, she realized that amid the media’s “shock and awe of what goes wrong everywhere,” Paksy Plackis-Cheng there were a lot of inspirational stories to be told about people working to improve the world.

“I saw this incredible community building, people with incredible life stories and a great commitment to giving,” she explained. “It really inspired me to get the next generation involved.”

The result is Impact X: From Inspiration to Impact Impact, a coffee-table-style book that features interviews and photographs of 15 inspiring individuals from Santa Barbara and San Francisco to New York and Holland who are involved in everything from animal welfare to youth development.

“I didn’t set out to prove a thesis, and I don’t really care what your passion is,” she said. “I just want to show you that there is a lot going on, so you can get plugged in. There’s a spot for everybody. Your voice matters.”

To hammer that point home, PlackisCheng is hosting a thought-provoking collection of speakers at the New Vic on May 19, 4-6 p.m., with Stanford’s Marcello Palazzi (who cofounded B-Lab Europe); MacArthur Award–winning teacher Amir Abo-Shaeer, founder of the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy; Dr. Bruce Chernof, who is chair of the Federal Commission on LongTerm Health Care (and proprietor of Ojai Alisal wines); and Westmont grad Teresa Law, who, with Daniel Spitzer, runs Mountain Hazelnuts, which is expanding agriculture in Bhutan.

She hopes the event will be driven by attendees. “I want to have a dialogue with people in the audience putting the panelists in the hot seat, asking, ‘How did you get there? What have you done? Where are we going in terms of education, health care, and business?’” explained Plackis-Cheng, who continues to solicit impact stories and may bring the project to other cities. “I want to talk to more people who make a difference in whatever space there is,” she said.

hat if, instead of opening the medicine cabinet and

courtesy

popping some pills, you took a walk in the woods to find a cure for your woes? James Adams believes such a world is not only possible but also preferable, and the University of Southern California professor and Chumash-trained healer is using pharmaceutical science to prove the benefits that California native plants provide. Adams, who leads a walk on San Antonio Creek Trail with HerbWalks.com’s Lanny Kaufer on May 16, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., for $35, answered my questions last month.

NATURE CURE: USC’s James Adams (left) leads a walk along San Antonio Creek this weekend.

How did you start on this path? My family

came to this country in 1635. My ancestor was William Adams, who was a surgeon. His job was to keep the Puritan community in Virginia alive, so he learned from the Indians. He couldn’t wait around for the boat with the medical supplies to come from England. Ever since then, my family has used American Indian healing. The American Indians kept us alive.

How did you become a healer? I’m doing

this because I had 14 years of training from Cecilia Garcia and, when she walked on, the chief of the Chumash people, Ted Garcia, asked me to pick up her burden. I was really reluctant because I am a white man, but I am the holder of the knowledge. So after extensive introspection, I decided he was right, and I had to become a healer.

Why isn’t the pharmaceutical industry supportive of your work? Plant medicines are hard to patent. They want to

support drugs that are chemically synthesized because they are easier to patent.

So you use science to explain the plant medicine? That’s the idea. I go out in the hills and find the plants that haven’t been investigated. No one knows the chemistry of these plants. There are hundreds of them. I bring them back to the lab and find out what’s in them.

What are some standouts? California sagebrush is number

one. It’s a very potent pain reliever that we really need to learn how to use. If we can start using some of the native pain relievers, we can save tens of thousands of lives in this country every year. We can prevent ulcers induced by all of these oral medications that we use against pain. There’s an awful lot we can do if we just open our interest in California plants and traditional healing.

Mugwort is another extremely useful plant that we need to learn how to use again. It’s used extensively in China, and it’s also used in Europe. It’s used for PMS and menopause, and it’s also used for dreaming. There are so many people in our society who are depressed and can’t dream and therefore are in real trouble because they’re out of balance.

What do your students think of this? They tend to be more reluctant because there’s always that fear that they could get in trouble for doing something that’s not fully FDA-approved. There’s a lot of fear. It’s kind of sad, but that’s life.

— Matt Kettmann

Why is this program important? Often people think that if they are losing their sight, the kitchen is no longer a place where they can function safely. This dispels that myth. It uses a state-of-the-art kitchen to help people gain the ability and skills necessary to maintain a healthy diet, prepare nutritious meals, shop for groceries, organize and manage a kitchen, safely use knives, ovens, and other appliances while also learning how to handle kitchen emergencies to avoid injury.

What is taught? We teach basic kitchen skills, such

as cutting, slicing, dicing, measuring, grilling, frying, sautéing, and more, and use techniques specific to those who are blind and visually impaired. We also identify various foods, seasonings, and spices using a person’s sense of smell and touch.

History

Betsy Green Looks Back 100 Years

A

fascination for what life once was caused Betsy Green to research life in Santa Barbara 100 years ago, and she relayed what she found in both The Mesa Paper and at Edhat.com. Those columns became the basis of her book, Way Back When: Santa Barbara in 1914, which she will draw from when she speaks to the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society this Saturday, May 16, 9:30 a.m.-noon, at First Presbyterian Church.

See sbgen.org sbgen.org. She answered a few questions about the book last week.

Buffalo Bill— Bill the real deal, not some cheap imitation — brought his circus here to Santa Barbara. And Martha Graham — she went to Santa Barbara High School.

Movie stars were here, too! We didn’t invent them either!

The Flying A film studio was making movies all over the city; they just went out and shot actors doing cool, crazy stuff like driving cars in front of trains or off cliffs. They didn’t have to screw around with permits and red tape. the library of congress

Honoring Our Hoop Dreamers Preview of Second Basketball Court of Champions and Athletic Round Table’s 48th Hall of Fame

I

n the coming weeks, the sports awards season

reaches a peak with the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s 48th annual Hall of Fame fête and the induction of the second class into the Santa Barbara Basketball Court of Champions.

There are impressive and inspiring stories about each honoree at these events. A few individuals receive the rarest of distinctions: Legend. Jerry West, a true NBA legend, was the guest of honor at last year’s inaugural Court of Champions banquet. Among the 22 honorees were two of his old coaching friends, Bill Bertka and Gary Colson, and players like Jamaal Wilkes and Brian Shaw, who won championships in the glory days of the Lakers. West concluded his after-dinner remarks with this endorsement: “Let’s make it bigger and better next year.”

The Class of 2015 will be honored on Sunday, May 31, at Fess Parker’s DoubleTree Resort. It would be hard to find a more diverse and accomplished group than these 17: Sam Battistone: This former Santa Barbara High Don

became the founder of the New Orleans/Utah Jazz.

Barb Beainy and Cori Close: These teammates were

on the 1992 UCSB women’s basketball team that made the first of 12 NCAA Tournament appearances under Coach Mark French (already a Court of Champions member).

Close, who led the Gauchos to the Big Dance again in 1993, took the UCLA Bruins to the 2015 Women’s NIT title in her fourth year as head coach.

Tugçe Canıtez: The Turkish Olympian helped make Westmont College history by leading the Warrior women to the 2012 NAIA national championship.

Frank Carbajal: In 10 years as the SBCC men’s coach, he won the Western State Conference title four times, compiling a 195-115 record.

Jay Carty: After a brief NBA playing career, this Santa Barbara resident was a mentor to a young Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).

Bruce Coldren and Doug Little: Coldren, a star on Dos Pueblos High’s 1971 CIF championship team, went to

MAtt BroWN

by John Zant

Oregon and scored 24 points in the Ducks’ memorable 1974 upset of UCLA. Even though his San Marcos High team had a losing record, Little was the CIF 3-A Player of the Year in 1969 and preceded Coldren at Oregon as one of the original “Kamikaze Kids.”

Jim Eyen: The UCSB grad started his career on the SBCC bench next to Carbajal; was a head coach at Dos Pueblos High; worked for Jerry Pimm at UCSB; and in 1989 began an ongoing NBA career as an assistant with the Clippers, Lakers, Milwaukee, Portland, Sacramento, and now with the Lakers again.

Chet Kammerer and Randy Pfund:

Kammerer was head coach at Westmont for 17 seasons and gave Pfund his first coaching job. Pfund joined the L.A. Lakers staff and had a brief stint as their head coach. He and Kammerer worked together in the front office of the Miami Heat, drafting Dwyane Wade, a key player in their 2006 title run.

Gerry Karczewski and Jon Korfas:

GAUCHO GLORY: Kathy Gregory (right) coached the UCSB women’s volleyball team for 38 seasons, compiling a record of 882-412 and leading it into 26 consecutive NCAA tournaments in one span. She will be inducted into the Athletic Round Table Hall of Fame on Monday, May 18, in a ceremony at the La Cumbre Country Club.

These backcourt mates were on the exciting San Marcos Runnin’ Royals who went 50-2 in their last two seasons (1980-81).

Ron Shelton: Baseball was his best sport, but he played basketball, as well, at Santa Barbara High and Westmont. He featured both sports as a film writer and director, most memorably in Bull Durham and White Men Can’t Jump.

Gene Snyder: He coached Battistone and Shelton at Santa Barbara High, as well as last year’s inductee Vic Bartolome.

Snyder turned around a Dons program that had won just nine of its previous 60 games when he was hired in 1956.

Willie Wilton and Lowell Steward: The head coach and leading scorer on UCSB’s outstanding 1941 team will be honored posthumously. The Gauchos finished fourth in the NAIA tournament at Kansas City, but Steward, an African American, was not allowed to play because of Jim Crow laws.

Wilton finished his 16-year career with 205 wins, and Steward became a decorated World War II pilot with the Tuskegee Airmen. presidio sports photos

OUR OWN LEGEND: Kathy Gregory is such

a legend in volleyball that she told off other legends.

When her L.A. State teammate Billie Jean Moffitt hit some balls out of bounds, Gregory told her,

“Stick to tennis.” Billie Jean (Moffitt) King did just that.When she teamed up with NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain in a four-on-four beach volleyball match, Gregory loudly urged Chamberlain,“Pick up your play!”

Known as “Queen of the Beach” for her domination of women’s doubles tournaments — she won a world championship at age 41 in 1986 — Gregory brought the same energy to the UCSB volleyball courts. She coached the Gaucho women’s team for 38 seasons, compiling a record of 882-412 and leading it into 26 consecutive NCAA tournaments in one span.

Gregory entered the International Volleyball Hall of Fame long ago, but she had to retire in 2013 to become eligible to join the coaches in the Athletic Round Table Hall of Fame.

She will be inducted on Monday, May 18, in a ceremony at the La Cumbre Country Club.

“I am very lucky to live in Santa Barbara and to have been able to coach for 38 years,” said Gregory, an old-school purist.“It can’t be done any more. It’s harder and more stressful.

Winning became a relief, not a joy.”

Also heading into the Round Table Hall will be athletes Erica Menzel-Downing, a multisport star at San Marcos who played for Gregory at UCSB; Shannon Frowiss Phipps, Santa Barbara High basketball standout; Bradlee Van Pelt, who took his talents as a San Marcos quarterback all the way to the NFL; and Kim Wong, a dominant softball pitcher at Dos Pueblos. Dan Cordero, longtime youth sports leader in Carpinteria, will also be honored.

For tickets to Monday’s Hall of Fame ceremony, visit sbart. org. The Round Table will dispense many other awards, including high school and college athletes of the year, at a free assembly Wednesday, May 20, at the Lobero Theatre.

CATHCART MEMORIAL: A celebration of the life of Sam Cathcart will take place May 31 at 1:30 p.m. in Peabody

Stadium, where he coached the Santa Barbara Dons football team to many victories. The fête will include a rally for the planned renovation of the almost-century-old stadium. n

KJEE Summer round-up

ummer is nearly here, and with it comes a slew of fresh music, bigname tours, and Bowl shows, including KJEE’s Summer Round-Up. In its 11th year, the concert is composed of some of today’s hottest alternative acts. Here’s the down-low on the stellar lineup.

Headliner Of Monsters and Men (pictured) have come a long way from their native Iceland. The indie folk-pop quintet skyrocketed to international fame in 2011 with a quadruple-platinum hit song, “Little Talks.” Since then, with a sound similar to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and The Lumineers, Of Monsters have played major music festivals across the globe, including Coachella, Reading, and Bonnaroo. They are famous for their heartfelt harmonies, fantastical story storytelling, and creative use of instrumentation, ranging from horns to warm acoustic guitars to anthemic drums. Get a sneak peek of material from their new album Beneath the Skin, which drops June 9.

If you hate dancing and fun, skip Walk the Moon’s set. But if you want to rock out and are a fan of face paint, their show is right where you belong. The indie dancerock quartet gained a massive following

Alt ActS come to the Bowl

after the success of its 2012 self-titled debut record, which featured hit track “Anna Sun.” The act is notorious for its spunky, highenergy shows with band members—and often the audience—donning neon colors, glow-in-the-dark gear, and the aforementioned face paint. In late 2014, the band released its second album, Talking Is Hard, which is why you’re best off obeying the band’s newest hit: “Shut Up and Dance.”

If you like gloomy neo-soul pop reminiscent of Lorde and Lana del Rey, Banks is your girl. After several online-only releases, the 26-year-old singer/songwriter from Orange County dropped her first album, Goddess, last September. Notoriously bad at social media, Banks chose to connect with her fans in the realest way possible by posting her phone number on her Facebook page rather than updating fans on Twitter.

Her lack of virtual presence hasn’t affected her career — Goddess’s first single, “Beggin for Thread,” has gained international success.

Also hailing from SoCal is melodic indie-rock quartet Family of the Year. With stunning male/female harmonies and soulstirring melodies, the band has toured the states performing at celebrated music festi-

vals like Lollapalooza and BottleRock Napa Valley. The group rocks in the same heartaching veins as Belle and Sebastian and The Head and the Heart, and is known for its tragic hit “Hero” and the as-yet-unreleased track “Carry Me,” which was teased on the TV show Girls a few weeks ago. Keep an ear out for new music from Family of the Year at the Bowl, as the band will be releasing a new album later this year.

This year’s area act is chill-wave indiepop quartet The Blues and Greys. These Santa Barbarans started playing shows two years ago after the release of their debut EP, Bright Lights. Blending elements of melodic pop, heartfelt vocals (from singer Lindsey Waldon), and dark, ethereal notes, the band sounds like a mishmash of Death Cab for Cutie, The xx, and Silversun Pickups in the best way possible. This is an act not to be missed, so make sure to get to the Bowl on time!

MBongwAnA StAr From Kinshasa

We are in times of change. Across the world, old structures are being summarily dismantled and labels torn off, with cultures connecting in completely new ways beneath newly shifting climates. May the newly formed Congolese seven-piece Mbongwana Star be the Titanic orchestra for these dying ways.

With a name meaning “change,” Mbongwana Star encapsulates a spirit of fusion and reinvention on its debut album, From Kinshasa, that will surprise even the most jaded of ears. Like other African musicians of the last decade (Konono No. 1, Group Inerane), they blend junked and secondhand Western instruments with traditional styles, but theirs

is a sound that’s altogether unheard of. Launching straight into space on creepily atmospheric opener “From Kinshasa to the Moon,” the band blasts out of earthly musical bounds and never looks back, fusing Congolese, post-punk, blues, and dance rhythms with a level of fuzzed-out raw energy rarely recorded. “Shégué” sizzles with washes of warped guitar and blown-out vocals, and album highlight “Malukayi” pulses around a circling likembé melody so hypnotic it could induce mass dance breakouts.

For listeners looking for a bit of change, look no further — no other album this year will be quite like it.

S.B. Symphony premiereS

Porgy and Bess Few works by American composers have enjoyed the splendid afterlife of George and Ira Gershwin’s “folk opera,” Porgy and Bess. Controversial from the moment it premiered in 1935, this fantasy on AfricanAmerican themes is set on Catfish Row, a poor district of Charleston, South Carolina, that’s home to fishermen, drug dealers, and murderers. The action swings back and forth across the water as the characters come and go from Catfish to Kittiwah, a fictional island off the coast of Charleston.

When the Santa Barbara Symphony moves into the Granada this weekend, Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17, for its final concert of the season, the players will be in fine company, as the Santa Barbara Choral Society and high-profile vocal soloists Laquita Mitchell (pictured) and Michael Sumuel will be joining them for the Gershwin. Expect to hear the greatest of all seasonal theme songs, the magnificent “Summertime,” rendered with the taste, beauty, and sheer sonic heft that a full orchestra with a chorus can provide.

In addition to the Americana of Gershwin, there will be two more pieces by splendid American composers: Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2 “Romantic” and a world premiere, Arioso for Strings, Oboe, and Percussion by Dan Redfield.

While Hanson was a near contemporary of the Gershwins, Redfield is very much a figure of the 21st century. His Arioso was composed in response to the experience of waiting to board a flight from New York to Los Angeles on the morning of September 11, 2001.

Needless to say the flight was cancelled; Redfield made his way from the airport into a stricken and confused Manhattan in the back of a taxi. He describes that cab ride as giving birth to the work that will be played this weekend, saying, “Each firehouse we passed had makeshift memorials of candles, flowers, and photographs strewn out front. As we passed these buildings, I recall hearing strains of the Arioso in my mind.”

Arioso is dedicated to the first responders who lost their lives that day, and it ought to work well with the Hanson and the Gershwin, as Redfield’s style takes the best of American music and reimagines it from a contemporary, Romantic point of view. The concerts are Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.

MISSING ART: In the Forest of Detroit sends its characters searching for this lost African statue.

motown IDoL

E

llen Anderson’s two favorite subjects come together in her new play opening this weekend. There’s Detroit, her hometown and an ongoing obsession, and then there’s what she describes as “love crazy women of all shapes and sizes.” In the Forest of Detroit follows two docents from Detroit’s distinguished Institute of Arts who wind up in an abandoned house with a valuable African statue. When the African god represented by the idol comes alive in the form of a woman, things quickly get interesting.

As Anderson put it,“mayhem ensues, and terrible trouble, but it’s magical.”

Craziness, yes, but then that is all part of the plan for Dramatic Women, the theater collective responsible for producing this and many other plays by area playwrights.

The group has been promoting women’s involvement in all

by Charles Donelan aspects of theater and bringing original work by area writers to the stage in Santa Barbara since 1993. The not-so-secret strength of Dramatic Women is particularly evident in Anderson’s work, as she consistently manages to write from a fully engaged feminist perspective while still creating stories with universal appeal. In the Forest of Detroit, which opens on May 15 at Center Stage and runs through Saturday, May 23, will benefit from an excellent cast that includes Leslie Gangl Howe, Lisa Gates, Wendy Sims-Moten, Mickey Flacks, Terry Li, Caroline DeLoreto, Tyler X. Koontz, Erica Flor, and Tonea Lolin.

As in Anderson’s other Detroit play, 2010’s Bedtime in Detroit, the subject is, according to the author,“white privilege all over again” but from the perspective of “middle-aged women who are trying to do better.” Anderson’s wry tone belies her startlingly undimmed passion for humanity and for the theater. Her plays may take a similarly irreverent approach to character and situation, but they always tackle tough issues without flinching or preaching.

The great benefit of having resources such as Dramatic Women and Ellen K. Anderson in our theater community becomes especially evident when disparate talents come together, as they have for this production. In addition to all the great actors who are on board with In the Forest of Detroit, there will also be music in the form of a set of mostly original, interstitial songs by the Los Angeles–based musical duo Mommy Tonk. Mommy Tonk, made up of Stacie Burrows and Shannon Noel, creates comedy out of the formula “Two moms. One guitar. Cursing in perfect harmony.” Noel was once a student of Anderson’s, and they have reconnected for this project in a way that will leave audiences laughing about everything from husbands to Target. The play-with-music format, rather than the traditional musical in which the songs are sung in character, suits Anderson’s magical realism perfectly, and In the Forest of Detroit promises to be her most entertaining vision of Motown yet.

So squeaky-clean are ZeroGravity that at a performance on Seattle’s TV show New Day Northwest Northwest, they won over an audience that Montzingo estimated was about 80 percent women ages 60 or older, some of whom then invited the boys aboard their yacht. “Some of them wanted us for themselves. They wouldn’t even invite their granddaughters,” Wilhelmsson said. “We’ve had adults come up to us after shows and say, I want to thank you for not waving your crotch,” Kean added.

One Direction and their protégé, 5SOS, have accumulated a group of fans more numerous and potentially more powerful than most nations’ armies.

Like their famous counterparts, ZeroGravity also has a legion of uniquely named fans called Gravitators who work on the band’s behalf. Currently there are 35 street teams across the globe dedicated to getting the word out about ZeroGravity.

et’s get this out of the way: Hot Pursuit is not a great movie. It’s not even a very good movie. In fact, it might be kind of a terrible movie. That said, it’s a film not without merit.

It’s hard to make a great movie from derivative beginnings, and the odd-couple female-buddy crime DUD-Y COMEDY: Sofía Vergara (left) plays a drug boss’s comedy has “The Heat Copycat” written all over wife opposite Reese Witherspoon as her police escort in the cliché-ridden Hot Pursuit. it.

They deserve better than a and multiple costume changes. And, of course, the cop and the femme fatale eventually become besties. This cheap imitation.

nOW SHOWIng O The Age of Adaline

(112 mins.; PG-13: a suggestive comment)

In 1937, Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) is involved in a near-fatal car accident and subsequently struck by lightning, which causes her to cease aging. The success of this lovely and thoughtful drama relies heavily on Lively’s Adaline, who is wholly believable as an old woman who has seen a century trapped in a girl’s body. The Age of Adaline is an introspective romantic drama with the slightest sprinkling of science fiction.

(KS) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo Avengers: Age of Ultron (141 mins.;

Pundits-for-hire who falsely claim they are scientific authorities on topics such as drugs, climate change, and chemicals are put under the microscope in this documentary.

Joss Whedon may not be the shepherd Marvel wants to lead the fanboy flock from meadow to cash cow. He did the job, made some money, but clearly his heart was not there. It’s not a bad film, like, say, Ang Lee’s Hulk, but Whedon is trying to make too many people happy.

What’s left is the feeling that he lost his own interests in the bargain. (DJP)

Camino Real/Metro 4 (Opens Thu., May 21)

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) Fairview

Tomorrowland (130 mins.; PG: sci-fi action violence and peril, thematic elements, and language)

O Ex Machina (108 mins.; R: graphic nudity, language, sexual references, and some violence)

A curious teen (Britt Robertson) embarks on a dangerous mission with a jaded inventor (George Clooney) to uncover a place they both remember called Tomorrowland.

Moviegoers who like science fiction for explosive spectacle value might get antsy during the first two thirds of the movie. Slow, weird, and beautiful, this is a movie about god, humanity, and machinery that makes you fearfully aware that erasing the line that separates all three might be less than a logarithm away. (DJP) Fairview/Metro 4

Gil Kenan directs this remake of the 1982 horror film about a family who moves to the suburbs and is subsequently tormented by angry spirits in their new home.

(137 mins.; PG-13: prolonged frenetic sequences of violence, action, and mayhem, suggestive content, and brief strong language)

The Fast and the Furious gang reunites to stop Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), who is hunting them down to avenge the death of his brother. Every aspect of the franchise’s past is effectively recycled, but somehow Furious 7, 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. (DJP)

Fiesta 5

Home (94 mins.; PG: mild action and some rude humor)

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.

Plaza de Oro The Water Diviner (111 mins.; R: war violence including some disturbing images)

Russell Crowe’s often-clumsy melodrama set during World War I in Turkey and Australia has a few great moments, though it ultimately fails in the old suspension-of-disbelief department.

The good stuff mostly happens in Turkey, where Crowe as Connor ventures from his Down Under home in the awful wake of the Battle of Gallipoli.

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): The danger of resisting a temptation too strenuously is that the temptation might depart. I suggest that you prevent that from happening. Without throwing yourself at the mercy of the temptation, see if you can coax it to stick around for a while longer.

Why? In my view, it’s playing a useful role in your life.

It’s motivating you to change some things that really do need to be changed. On the other hand, I’m not yet sure that it should become anything more than a temptation. It might serve you best that way, not as an object of your satisfied desire.

(June 21 - July 22): In mythic terms, you should be headed for the winner’s circle, which is inside the pleasure dome. The parade in your honor should follow the award ceremony, and let’s hope you will be on the lead float wearing a gold crown and holding a real magic wand while being sung to by a choir of people you love and who love you. If for any reason you are not experiencing some version of these metaphors, I urge you to find out why. Or better yet, get busy on planning a homecoming or graduation party or award ceremony for yourself. From an astrological perspective, you have a mandate to be recognized and appreciated for the gifts you offer the world.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): I suspect you are about to experience some prime contenders for The Most Unusual Adventures of 2015. Are you thoroughly prepared?

Of course not. There’s no way you can be totally ready to adapt to unpredictable wrinkles and change your mind at a moment’s notice. But that’s exactly what will make these experiments so fun. That’s why they will be effective in building up your resilience and willpower.

For best results, apply your nighttime thinking to daytime activities, and vice versa. Spend minimal time on responsibilities that don’t teach you noble truths about your fellow madmen and madwomen. Now here’s my big question: How can you tap into the extra power you will need during your rite of passage?

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Long before Lou Reed recorded the song “Walk on the Wild Side,” Nelson Algren wrote a novel titled A Walk on the Wild Side. It depicts the luxuriant depravity of New Orleans’ French Quarter in the 1930s. One of Algren’s most enduring bits of spiritual advice goes as follows: “Never, ever, no matter what else you do in your whole life, never sleep with anyone whose troubles are worse than your own.” What do you think of that, Capricorn? Even if you don’t regard it as a universal rule that you should unfailingly obey, I suggest you observe it in the coming weeks. For the sake of your mental hygiene, be extra discerning about what influences you absorb — not just in bed, but everywhere.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Many modern astronomers are allergic to astrology, but from my perspective there is no inherent conflict between the two fields. Four of history’s greatest astronomers were practicing astrologers, after all: Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Tycho Brahe, and Pierre Gassendi. One of my friends in college, a Scorpio woman named Martha Maiden, is a first-rate astrologer who got a degree in astronomy and became a top scientist at NASA. In the spirit of finding reconciliation between apparent opposites, I’m happy to say that you are now a virtual virtuoso in your ability to reconcile both apparent opposites and actual opposites. I invite you to use this aptitude with flair and daring.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): The cosmos has authorized you to be hungrier than usual. You may also feel free to respond to your enhanced hunger with an extra aggressive quest to be fed. Therefore: Be voracious!

Risk being avid, ardent, and even agog. Fill yourself up with pudding, pleasure, praise, peace, perks, and privileges. Anything else you’d like to engorge? If some unenlightened person questions your right to claim the biggest piece and the sweetest taste and the best fuel, inform them that your astrologer says you have ultimate permission.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): My astrological colleagues discourage me from talking to you Bulls about financial matters. “Most Tauruses know 10 times more about the mystery of money than you will ever know,” said one. “Their excellent instincts trump any tips you could offer.” Another astrologer concurred, noting, “The financial advice you give Tauruses will at best be redundant and at worst simplistic.” A third colleague summed it up: “Offering Tauruses guidance about money is like counseling Scorpios about sex.” So although I’m shy about providing recommendations, I will say this: The next five weeks will be a favorable time to set in motion the plans to GET RICHER QUICKER!

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): “Endings to be useful must be inconclusive,” wrote science fiction novelist Samuel R. Delany. I endorse that theory for your use in the coming weeks. Interweave it with this advice from playwright Sam Shepard: “The temptation towards resolution, towards wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap. Why not be more honest with the moment? The most authentic endings are the ones which are already revolving towards another beginning.” In other words, Gemini, don’t be attached to neat finales and splashy climaxes. Consider the possibility that you can simply slip free of the complicated past and head toward the future without much fanfare.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): British Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley was a brilliant military commander.

Renowned for his ability to beat larger armies, he also had great skill at minimizing loss of life among his own troops. His most famous triumph took place in 1815, when he led the forces that defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo. In the aftermath, the French tyrant lost his power and went into exile. What was the secret of Wellesley’s success? “Bonaparte’s plans were made in wire,” he said.“Mine were made in string.” In other words, Wellesley’s strategy was more flexible and adaptable. As circumstances changed, it could be rearranged with greater ease. That’s the approach I recommend for you in the coming days.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): You may not be strong enough to take a shot at a daunting challenge that’s five levels beyond your previous best. But I think you are at least ready to try a tricky challenge that’s one level higher than where you have been operating. And that, in my opinion, is a more practical use of your courage. I think it would be a waste of your energy to get wrapped up in grandiose fantasies about impossible perfections. As long as you don’t overreach, you can accomplish small miracles.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Is there an interesting ally whose path rarely crosses yours? Do you draw inspiration from a like-minded dynamo who is not fully available? Has fate kept you and a friend from getting as close as you would wish? According to my reading of the astrological omens, relationships like these could become more substantial in the coming weeks. The dream of a more robust connection could ripen into an opportunity to actually collaborate. So be alert for the openings, and be prepared to do what’s necessary to go deeper.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Sagittarian Matt Stutzman competes in the sport of archery. He’s the world’s record holder for longest accurate shot, having hit a target 230 yards away. What makes his accomplishment so extraordinary is the fact that he was born without any arms. He holds each arrow in his mouth and grasps the bow with his right foot and the help of a chest harness. In the spirit of this armless archer, and in accordance with your current astrological omens, I invite you to initiate an attempt to triumph over one of your so-called disadvantages.

Wine of the Week Hiro Blue (Junmai Ginjo) Sake: It’s little surprise that to market sake in the U.S., companies pull out all the recent tropes from the brewing world — hand crafted, traditional yet forward looking. Hiro is doing that with its premium Junmai Ginjo or Blue, which is produced with rice milled to remove almost half its original weight. Do note sake isn’t rice “wine,” really, but more like beer as a fungus (or Koji) is introduced just to the milled rice to start breaking down sugars. Then yeast (or Shubo) is added, to convert those to alcohol. Hiro Blue offers a sweet melon flavor and a smooth finish that means you can play with it in cocktails; try it in martini preparations as the vermouth, but with more sake than you would use for a dry version. Of course it goes well with sashimi and tempura. See hirosake.com.

This information is available in the ABC License Query System at abc.ca.gov.

I spoke with Marmalade Café and was told Marmalade will not be closing and that there are no changes planned.

BARBAREÑO BRUNCH: Barbareño at 205 West

Canon Perdido Street, now six months old, is serving their casual but inventive Central Coast cuisine for weekend brunch. Their menu draws inspiration from Santa Barbara staples, incorporating ingredients that define the region and grow particularly well here.

For example, pistachios in creamy marzipan, olive oil, and cabernet sauvignon jam adorn their French toast, while local Lompoc pinquito beans, housemade chorizo, and smoked ranchero sauce give a

unique spin to the classic huevos rancheros. Hours are 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Saturday-Sunday.

CPK UPDATE: California Pizza Kitchen has announced that it has transformed its Santa Barbara location with a fresh, contemporary design and a vastly expanded menu. The Santa Barbara CPK is among the first in the country to get a makeover, which will be taking place at 80 CPK locations nationwide in 2015. “We have worked around the clock to create a fabulous new experience for our guests,” said Managing Partner Kevin Secky.“Our new environment welcomes Santa Barbara patrons with a relaxed, upscale feel and many natural elements.”

Sustainable materials are a guiding factor in the new design. The new menu includes the signature handtossed pizza favorites with new options in appetizers, salads, sides, and mains designed to showcase seasonal dishes and locally sourced ingredients. The centerpiece of the new Santa Barbara CPK is the open kitchen, where guests can watch as pizzas are handtossed and their food is prepared from scratch.

SPEAKING OF PIZZA: Pizza lovers get ready. May

15 is National Pizza Party Day, and Persona Wood Fired Pizzeria at 905 State Street is ready to help everyone celebrate. The Santa Barbara–based createyour-own-handcrafted-pizza franchise is welcoming pizza lovers to enjoy a one-topping Neapolitan pizza for $4.95 from 2-5 p.m.
