Black Tuesday Major Oil Spill Covers Gaviota Coast in Crude
news briefs
LAW & DISORDER
On 5/18, Judge Michael Carrozzo sentenced a 35-year-old man who had raped and impregnated his 13-year-old stepdaughter in 2012 to life in prison without the possibility of parole, marking the first time a child molester received a life sentence in the county. Santos Guevara-Oliva of Carpinteria was found guilty in March of forcible rape and aggravated sexual assault of a child under age 14. In a courtroom packed with family members, Jose Gutierrez, 19, of Goleta and James Taylor, 22, of Lompoc pleaded not guilty to charges in a shooting incident in Isla Vista on 5/11. Accused of attempted murder, attempted robbery, first-degree burglary, assault with the use of a deadly weapon, and gang association, the two were involved in a drug-related fight that resulted in gunshot wounds to two 22-yearold Gauchos. Taylor and Gutierrez return to court June 1. pau l wellm an

Duanying Chen (pictured), 20, pleaded guilty on 5/19 to felony animal cruelty and domestic battery. Last year, authorities said Chen tortured his miniature pinscher so badly it had to be euthanized and that he also had strangled his girlfriend. He faces a maximum of six years and six months in prison and returns to court for sentencing on 6/30. In a letter to Judge Brian Hill and during a press conference in Los Angeles on 5/15, Hongling Hu, Chen’s mother, said his misdeeds can be blamed on his overly sheltered upbringing, poor social skills, and ignorance of U.S. law.
The death of Javier Limon, whose body was found near Guadalupe Dunes in August 2014, has been traced back to Joseph Morales, 27, an inmate in Los Angeles County. A Sheriff’s Office investigation found Morales had coordinated Limon’s murder from his prison housing unit using a cell phone. Gregorio Agustine, Arturo Granados, and Yesenia Granados of Santa Maria were arrested in September 2014 in connection with the murder. Morales is currently incarcerated for a 2006 attempted murder in Santa Maria.

cITy Alternative transportation junkies have long salivated at the prospect of building a separate pathway for cyclists, pedestrians, and runners along stretches of Las Positas and Modoc roads. This Tuesday, the City Council authorized spending up to $1 million for design, planning, and environmental review of such a project encompassing 2.6 miles of roadway. The project would better link Hendry’s Beach, Elings Park, and the Douglas Family Preserve, proponents say. The Santa Barbara City Council agreed to renew the Westside United Boys & Girls Club’s lease for its digs by Bohnett Park. The new lease will run three years; the previous lease ran for 50 and expired last summer. City officials have been concerned about financial and leadership issues that have dogged United Boys & Girls Club since the Great Recession and insisted on a short lease to ensure that such concerns get addressed. With the hiring of Michael Baker as the new CEO four months ago, some of that concern has been addressed.

The agonizingly long and convoluted battle to develop 72 lots along the Gaviota Coast is about to get even more agonizing and convoluted as developer Matt Osgood submitted papers this week asking the county supervisors to approve the $44.5 million transfer of ownership of the 1,000 acres in question. Osgood owned the land and had secured county Matt Osgood approvals but was foreclosed in 2010 after failing to make payments to his lender, First National Bank. Earlier this year, First National sold to David Liu, a Chinese-American real estate mogul from Arcadia, and his firm Standard Portfolios Asset Management. Liu has retained Osgood in some capacity to bring the project to fruition. Earlier this year, County Planning and Development czar Glenn Russell rejected Osgood’s request that the transfer of ownership be accepted. Russell explained at the time that the request contained absolutely no information as to the new owner’s financial ability — or reputation — to make good certain obligations Osgood had made in exchange for approval by the county. With the delivery of a 50-page document — complete with breathtaking color photos of blue-eyed dogs, horses in meadows, fish, kids jumping, and orange sherbet sunsets — Osgood is appealing Russell’s denial to the county supervisors. Whether the new documents answer Russell’s questions, Russell’s not sure yet. He indicated that Osgood and Liu probably met the requirements if the agreement was looked at narrowly. But whether the new information satisfied the broader question of whether Osgood and Liu could bring the development to completion, Russell still has questions. Osgood, he noted, lost the property once already. Attorney Marc Chytilo, who’s been battling Osgood for the past decade on behalf of environmental activists intent on saving Naples from development, expressed hope the supervisors would take a “bold and protective” stance when evaluating the transfer of ownership. In that context, Chytilo suggested Osgood’s reputation might become a relevant consideration. The supervisors will probably decide the matter later — Nick Welsh this summer.
question on 5/13: The rock wall is the best way to protect Goleta Beach Park in the years to come. In its ruling, spearheaded by Commissioner Jana Zimmer (pictured),the agency awarded a 20-year permit to the 1,200 feet of rocks installed on the western end of the beach. Regular monitoring will track any possible effects of the revetment on the beach, and any changes are to be analyzed after the first 10 years. Most speakers voiced their desire to see the rocks remain at Goleta Beach, which attracts 1.5 million visitors a year.

by N i c k W e l s H n an effort to address the perils of climate change, the county supervisors voted 3-2 to adopt the most stringent greenhouse-gas-emission restrictions of any county in California, requiring all industrial facilities to limit their emissions to 1,000 metric tons a year or to offset any releases above that. The new rules will affect 50 industrial producers, all but one of which is an oil operation located in northern Santa Barbara County. Advocates for the oil industry had lobbied loud and hard for thresholds of 10,000 metric tons a year, arguing that new restrictions would damage the one North County industry to provide decent-paying jobs. Just 18 months ago, the same oil-industry advocates had lambasted the supervisors for imposing that 10,000-metric-ton threshold on Santa Maria Energy, a fact that the three South County supervisors noted with varying degrees of theatricality. First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal noted archly he was “perplexed,” while Supervisor Janet Wolf said she felt she was “in another world,” having been told so recently how “the sky would fall.” Santa Maria Supervisor Steve Lavagnino sought to explain the oil industry’s change of heart, saying it had been “tortured.” Supervisor Peter Adam mocked “the dire doom-andgloom” prognostications made over the years by environmentalists — the Arctic ice had not melted, he noted, as Al Gore predicted it would in 2007 — and suggested the planet would correct itself if, in fact, global warming was taking place, “as it’s done in the past.” According to county energy staff, the new regulations will capture 99.2 percent of the greenhouse gases released in the county by stationary sources. Under the 10,000 metric ton threshold, the capture rate would have been 90.4 percent. These numbers, however, are somewhat distant if not hypothetical. The companies involved will continue producing and generating pollution, but they will have to purchase pollution offsets and credits. Since none of these offsets currently exist in Santa Barbara County, the affected oil companies will purchase credits available in states like Alabama and Texas. While environmentalists concede Santa Barbara should have its own offsets, they also argue that because climate change is a global problem, anything that reduces greenhouse-gas emissions anywhere is a good thing everywhere. Santa Barbara, they argued, had an obligation to do its part to solve the problem, no matter how small its contribution might be.“Sometimes incentives are not enough to get us where we need to go in the time we need to get there,” said Supervisor Doreen Farr. At the meeting, oil-industry representatives had an air of resignation, and while some environmentalists argued in favor of a “net-zero” threshold, none pushed that hard.

Naples Back on the Table?
SAME STANDARD: Katie Davis of the Santa Barbara Sierra Club questioned if car owners are expected to be smogged, why should oil companies get a pass?
climate-change bill signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006. That bill required California to reduce greenhousegas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. While that goal appears to be well within reach, Schwarzenegger also required that the state reduce such emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2050. That goal is not so easily attained, and to meet it, local agencies will have to dramatically increase their rate of decrease. Adding urgency, Governor Jerry Brown just issued a new interim edict two weeks ago, requiring the state to reduce emissions to 40 percent of 1990 levels by the year 2030. With these new goals in mind, the supervisorial majority questioned whether the “business as usual” approach favored by the oil industry and a plurality of the Air Pollution Control District board — dominated by North County representatives — could achieve such reductions. Supervisor Lavagnino objected the county government exempted itself from the new standards and noted unhappily that surrounding counties had all embraced the 10,000-metric-ton threshold. Joe Armendariz, speaking for the Santa Barbara County Taxpayers Association, decried the new threshold as “environmental vanity,” and Andy Caldwell of the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business contended China’s insatiable appetite for coal power — one new coal plant is built every 11 days, he said — will more than offset any reductions achieved in Santa Barbara. “Their metric for emissions is 10 billion a year; ours is one million,” he said. “We’re insignificant.” Katie Davis of the Santa Barbara Sierra Club said that fully 77 percent of the population agreed greenhouse-gas emissions needed to be cut back, and she noted that the 10,000-metric-ton threshold was the equivalent of 2,000 new cars on the county roads. If all car owners are expected to be smogged, she argued, why should the oil company be given n a pass for 2,000 cars’ worth? may 21, 2015

The Enduring Power of Art As you walk through the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, don’t be surprised if you see the Museum’s Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Director and CEO Larry J. Feinberg in the galleries. For Feinberg, one of the joys of his job is seeing how the diverse people who come to the Museum are engaged by art. “Art allows you to explore, not only other people and cultures, but all sorts of ideas. Art can be a gateway—to distant periods and cultures, from 17th-century Spain or to modern China,” Feinberg says. “I believe in the power of art to educate and inspire and offer people a richer life.” “When I walk through the Museum and look at great art from a new exhibition, inevitably I will see something new, something extraordinary, that I haven’t seen before.” Experience some of the world’s great paintings, sculptures and photographs in an intimate setting. Envision a museum that is a gathering place for the entire Santa Barbara community.

County Looks to Companies to Fund Drug Take-Back
THE CULPRIT: Health officials have long fretted over the increased use of strong opiates like OxyContin.
F
by k e l s e y B r u g g e r
ollowing the suit of Alameda County and San Francisco, Santa Barbara supervisors took a step this week toward implementing an ordinance that could put drug companies on the hook for a prescription drug take-back program. Currently, the Sheriff’s department oversees eight drug take-back bins scattered from Carpinteria to Lompoc through a roughly $172,000 program known as Operation Medicine Cabinet. Bins located at the Sheriff’s headquarters in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria fill up as often as every day, according to Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover, and the others start to overflow weekly. Sheriff’s personnel frequently book the collected material as evidence and drive four times a year to the Los Angeles area to dispose of the meds properly. The department does not inspect the contents of the drop boxes, said Lieutenant Brad McVay, adding, “There are unused prescription medications for every ailment imaginable.” Shortly after Operation Medicine Cabinet launched in 2010, Sheriff’s officials transported about 1,000 pounds of pills (usually in containers) down south each trip. In recent years, that figure has doubled. In fact, 32,400 pounds have been collected in nearly five years, according to county staff, which is a higher rate of poundage per population compared to other counties. This increase coupled with changes in DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) laws prompted 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr to suggest drug companies come to the table in a manner similar to statewide laws that require producers of mattresses and paint, among other products, to pay for waste management. DEA regulations released in 2014 allow entities such as hospitals and pharmacies to create collection programs; in the past, just law-enforcement agencies had such authority. The concept is not brand new. Last year, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson introduced a bill that required drug manufacturers to set up a statewide system for properly getting rid of unwanted prescription drugs that tend to pile up in the bathrooms of older folks’ homes and could be easily obtained
by kids or teenagers. The average senior is prescribed 27 new drugs per year, according to IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics. Proponents call such programs very cheap compared to industry’s coffers, but the bill faced severe opposition from Big Pharma and stalled in committee. Jackson’s bill was modeled after an Alameda County ordinance that passed in 2012. It came under fire from the pharmaceutical industry, which filed a suit last year that lost in a federal appeals court. On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court will receive that decision. Farr said Tuesday that ordinance is just one example her office is considering. “It’s clear that people use [the bins] if they know about them,” the 3rd District supervisor said. “As a nation, we have overflowing medicine cabinets everywhere.” Attention to the issue comes at a time when experts say the use of opiates such as OxyContin—incredibly addictive, with withdrawals more painful than cocaine—is disconcerting. Since 2012, roughly 300-350 cases of prescription overdose were reported each year in emergency rooms at Santa Barbara County hospitals. That’s as many as five times the number of ER visits for cocaine, heroin, meth, or other nonprescription drug overdoses. And last year, the Coroner’s Office reported 59 overdose deaths, 10 more than were reported the previous year. In the past two years, the county’s Alcohol and Drug Program Services increased the funding for methadone, a synthetic opioid used to reduce withdrawal symptoms, from $1.6 million to $3 million. On Tuesday, the consensus among supervisors and about 10 public speakers was in favor of proper disposal, and many were enthused by the idea of giving the bill to the pharmaceutical industry. Supervisor Peter Adam warned that the industry would shove any costs back into the drug prices. “There’s no free lunch here,” he said. Others cited environmental concerns as another reason to look into establishing an ordinance as some people flush their leftover meds, polluting the water stream. The board voted unanimously to direct Farr’s office to work with Public Works staff to conduct outreach and to return to the board in October n with proposed program expansion.

trol. Drude said he was curious why the leak did not trigger an automatic shutoff, as the pipe is equipped with a sensor system that can detect even the slightest change in pressure. “It’s able to pick up pinhole leaks,” he said. Tuesday night, Drude was gearing up for a site inspection at first light Wednesday morning. He said Plains had not yet provided his office with the data that will allow him to calculate exactly how much oil spilled. Founded in 1998, Plains All American Pipeline is in the business of transporting and storing crude oil and natural gas all over the continent. According to the SEC, the company’s net revenue last year was $1.39 billion. Tuesday’s spill was the latest in a number of similar accidents in recent years.
department date back to 2008, but within the last two weeks, the agency was apprised that an audit could result in a disallowance of up to $1.8 million from the state. ADMHS spokesperson Suzanne Grimmesey said the department will likely learn many more details in coming weeks. County Fire’s hand crew, a 29-person team with deep roots in the department’s history, trained on a recent Wednesday afternoon near Cold Spring Bridge. Begun more than 40 years ago, the department’s hotshot crew has had an on-again, off-again lifespan through budgetary ups and downs. With high fire season beginning, the new crew has been busy clearing brush and building fuel breaks. Last week, Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District held a wildland training with firefighters from the tri counties and the Forest Service. The supervisors voted 3-2 to support Assemblymember Das Williams’s bill to create a vehicle for self-governance in Isla Vista. Unlike most legislation, AB 3 started as a shell of a proposal, which has been slowly filled during 42 weekly meetings held in I.V. The bill must now clear the Appropriations Committee, the Assembly and Senate floors, and the governor’s desk before it can get to the ballot in 2016, whereupon Isla Vista voters must approve creation of a community
The EPA has recorded at least 10 serious incidents in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas; between June 2004 and September 2007, more than 273,000 gallons of crude was leaked, and in a 2010 settlement with the EPA, the company agreed to spend $41 million to upgrade 10,400 miles of pipeline and pay $3.25 million in civil penalties. In 2011, Plains’ Canadian division was responsible for three major accidents in Alberta. Last May, a 130-mile Plains pipeline that runs through Los Angeles County ruptured and sent 19,000 gallons of crude through the streets of Atwater Village. The leak lasted around 45 minutes, covered a half-mile area in oil, and caused the evacuation of nearby buildings. According to news reports, Plains was not aware of the spill until residents called the city fire department, which then n had to notify the company. services district (CSD), and a second ballot measure must achieve two-thirds voter approval to fund the CSD within 10 years’ time.
EDucATIOn It’s no surprise Brandon Sportel is the 2016 Santa Barbara County Teacher of the Year. A special-education teacher who oversees a classroom of 11 K-5 students with mild to moderate disabilities at Canalino Elementary School, Sportel won the prestigious statewide Milken Educator Award last month and the Carpinteria School District’s teacher of the year distinction before that. Lauded for his innovation and energy, Sportel is perhaps best at connecting with his students. “I love my job because every morning, [my students] are bound to keep me smiling,” Sportel said at the award ceremony.

Dr. Robert E. Steele 10-26-47 – 04-27-15
Bob Steele was exceptional. Born in Berkeley, California, to Margaret and Elbert Steele, he lost his father to cancer when he was just ten years old. Rock solid, Peg raised Bob, younger sister Barbara, and little brother Jeff with just the right mix of freedom and iron. Bob was an engineer from the start, with an inquisitive mind and natural curiosity. He loved to know how things worked, taking them apart and putting them back together. He rewired their house at the age of 15 and rebuilt the engine of Peg’s car while in high school, and there’s something about making cherry brandy and the preacher, but that’s a story for another day. Bob earned his BS in physics/math from Sonoma State University, and his MS and Ph.D. in physics from UCSB. His professional career spanned nearly 40 years. He worked for LASP in Colorado on NASA-funded projects, at General Research in Santa Barbara on projects ranging from robotic wafer handling systems to linear accelerator controls, and he subsequently consulted for various semiconductor processing equipment and telecommunications companies, where he developed a passion for motion control technology. It was during this time that he designed and produced the motion control board that would become the foundation for Motion Engineering, Inc., a company he founded in 1987. Bob served as Chief Technical Officer at MEI (now part of Kollmorgen) from its inception until his death. A stellar engineer and problemsolver with infectious energy, he purchased a pair of retired auto assembly robots (on eBay of course) and transformed his garage into a “robotics theater.” He programmed them to dance in sync to Creedence’s Suzie Q, adorned with Santa hats or baseball caps and shades, and he loved to show their snazzy moves to students, friends, and colleagues. Bob had a way of getting under your skin, and his friends were lifelong. He had a tremendous sense of humor, was generous, witty, and always saw the very best in everyone. He had a special, almost electrical charge about him, a brilliant mind, and a kind of endearing social awkwardness. He had a booming voice, ate too fast, and had a way of always working his napkin into shreds. He was constantly losing his wallet, phone, or passport. He loved Creedence Clearwater and Jimmy Buffett and red Toyota trucks. He was a do-it-your-selfer with a minor in plumbing, and he always had a project brewing. A hike with Bob was a botany lesson. He would spew the genus and species names of all the plants you passed, and if by chance he came 14

across one he didn’t know, he would simply make it up, with a grin and a chuckle to let you know you’d been had. He loved his old hiking boots and trod the trails of the Grand Canyon and “Shit-For-Brains Canyon” in the Mojave, and oh how he loved the desert. Several times a year, he and buddies Lyman and PJ would pack up that red Toyota with rockets, spud guns, quadricopter, telescope, and toolboxes and hit the road. Steak, baked potatoes, and artichokes, astronomy lessons with a laser pointer to the stars, sitting in the camp chairs at dusk being “masters of all we survey,” and life was good. Bob loved three women in his life and married two of them, first Kelly Steele (Sheridan) and then Nancy Haydt, and he kept them close throughout his life. Jennifer Lundmark became his third and final love, and with Jen came the horses. Bob, ever the trooper, overcame his fears, donned a cowboy hat and boots, and on his trusty palomino steed, Monte, became an endurance rider, even earning the title of “Endurance Rider of the Year.” He had no children of his own but was Uncle Bob to Anna and Jessica Grubaugh, Adam Steele, Jennifer Haydt and the Packard girls, and great uncle to Ella and Jack Reid. When cancer struck two years ago, Bob battled it with courage and conviction and never lost hope for a cure. He fought hard and endured so much throughout those two years, but when asked by a friend at Thanksgiving a year ago what he would want to do if he knew his life was coming to an end, Bob thought for a while and said simply,“I wouldn’t change a thing.” Fortunate to call him brother, fortunate to call him friend. A LIVE EACH DAY memorial celebration for Bob will be held at 3:30pm on Saturday, June 20, at Kollmorgen, 33 S. La Patera Lane, in Santa Barbara. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Direct Relief International or Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, and Bob’s kitties, Emma and Loki, are awaiting adoption at A.S.A.P.

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. “We Had Joy We Had Fun We Had Seasons In The Sun”

Charles Ashok Lindberg died in the city of Los Angeles on May 6, 2015, at the morning following his 33rd birthday, of sarcoma cancer. He was born in Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara, to Brian Lindberg and Mary Lindquist-Lindberg, who survive him, and passed the golden years of his childhood in the company of many friends in Santa Barbara. He moved to his mother’s family home in Creston when he was nine, attended Creston School and Atascadero High, then graduated from UC Santa Cruz. He was proud to have attained AllAmerican recognition as a competitive swimmer. He was an outstanding nature photographer and supporter of public lands; his love of Yosemite was unbounded. He had an abiding concern for the welfare of his fellow man, and he was generous in his judgment of them. Shortly before dying, he kindly admonished us,“don’t feel bad...everyone dies.” It is in that spirit that there will be a gathering of his friends, from throughout his life, at the old Lindquist family ranch, 7440 O’donovan Rd., in Creston, CA, on June 6, from 12-4, lunch served from 1-3pm (805-458-9440). It will be a reunion celebrating our shared and abiding commitment to the family of man.

Disneyland Dems
Amid U.S. Senate Scrap, Santa Barbara Pols Jockey at State Convention
by J e r r y r o b e r t s
n Saturday night, hundreds of California Democrats and reporters in various stages of drunkenness packed the atrium lobby bar of the Anaheim Hilton, generating a collective clamor of conversation. From time to time, the shrill cry of a war whoop — “woowoowoowoo!” — pierced the din, inevitably followed by cackles of laughter. It signaled that someone else had just viewed a brief and murky iPhone video of the U.S. Senate wannabe and Orange County Representative Loretta Sanchez committing an OMG gaffe during an earlier appearance before the party’s Indian-American ethnic caucus. Sanchez is a 10-term veteran of the House whose, um, energetic campaign style is the political equivalent of a classic, manic Robin Williams performance; over the weekend, it led her to recount to the Asian-Indian-American delegates a story of how she’d headed to a meeting with one of their colleagues in the belief that he was a Native American. Ha, ha. Instead of saying “Native American,” unfortunately, she inexplicably put her hand over her mouth and voiced the noise those of a certain age make in the game called “Cowboys and Indians.” Ouch.
Given contemporary sensibilities and the influence of social media (not to mention the superficialities of political writers), the offensive Sanchez blunder buzzed through the 3,000 delegates, gathered a mile from Disneyland, and became the convention’s dominant story. Although she apologized in her convention speech the next day, it did not change the impression that her free-spirit style is ill-suited for a statewide race; neither did it improve her odds against perceived Democratic front-runner and attorney general Kamala Harris, whose mother—wait for it —migrated from India. Still, there is something refreshing about a candidate willing to be spontaneous, in contrast to Harris and other politicians of the cautious, well-packaged ilk. The incident went viral, but its impact in the long campaign march to the 2016 election is unclear; what is clear is that the race promises blockbuster political entertainment. tHe GANG’s ALL Here: One local Democrat who won’t back Sanchez is county supervisor and 24th Congressional District contender Salud Carbajal. I caught up with him in the bar, where he stood chatting with a political mentor, L.A.
Representative Xavier Becerra, who is the fourth-ranking House Democrat and also weighing a possible Senate bid. Salud, asked about the Sanchez video, made a face and shook his head, saying he would not support her, regardless of what Becerra decides. Both he and Mayor Helene Schneider spent much of the weekend working the convention. Schneider hosted a coffee-and-cookies reception for about 40 delegates and partners Friday afternoon, saying she had come to “listen and learn” and to “meet as many people as I can.” “A lot of today was, ‘Who are you?’” she said, adding that she’d invited many folks from San Luis Obispo County,“an area I know of, but I’m not from.” Salud tossed his own fête in the hotel’s Mix Lounge Saturday night, and the contrast between the two events demonstrated his early lead in campaign organization. With free beer, wine, and appetizers, it drew a crowd of more than 100 people and spotlighted the chairs of the Santa Barbara, S.L.O., and Ventura county Democratic committees, all of whom individually already have endorsed Carbajal. “He’s worked to help build the party, instead of dumping all over it, like she has,”
said Daraka Larimore-Hall, S.B.’s Democratic chair, detailing past conflicts with the mayor over her refusals to support party-endorsed local candidates, or her moves to back allies against them. Larimore-Hall, who also is secretary of the state Democratic Party, one of five top officers, said the key reason for candidates to attend the convention is to begin to build support in hopes of receiving its formal, statewide endorsement next year. Despite recent declines in registration for both major parties, their endorsements remain extremely important signifiers at election time for what political junkies call “low-information voters,” i.e., people with actual lives. Besides Daraka, Helene, and Salud, Santa Barbara school boardmember Monique Limón had a high profile at the convention. A hopeful for the 37th State Assembly seat now held by Das Williams, who is termed out, Limón appeared to be the hardest-working woman in show business, dashing to receptions, caucuses, and meetings with elected officials, potential donors, and volunteers. “She’s a terrific candidate,” said Larimore-Hall.“She’s going to be a star.” n

She enjoyed sharing stories of inspiration from those who visited “The Store.” There will be a Celebration of Life service on Saturday May 30, 2015, 2:00pm, at Goleta Beach, section A, to honor the life of this wonderful mother and friend. We invite all who have been lucky enough to have known her to attend. At her request, cheerful stories are encouraged to be shared. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center or Serenity House Hospice.
Above all, she loved to talk with A people in all walks of life. On so many occasions one could have seen her get into a conversation with someone in line near her at a grocery store, and after a couple of hours the other person would exclaim “Why have I been telling you all this?” But the reason was obvious: she was a superb listener!

Barbara Ann Ostrowsky 02/16/40 – 04/20/15
Bar Barbara Ann Ostrowsky, 75, died peacefully in her sleep at home on April 20, 2015, after a valiant 7-year battle with congestive heart failure. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 43 years, Howard, and her daughters, Susan (Mark), Wendy (John), and Abbi (Dorin), and her son Nathan (Melanie), as well as her four grandchildren (Dominique, Michael, Erin, and Wesley). Born February 16, 1940, in New York to Fred Welsh and Elizabeth R. Ehnes, her father entered the U.S. Air Corps shortly thereafter, rising to the rank of Lt. Colonel before the end of the war. Shortly thereafter, she moved with her father to live in California. After getting a nursing degree from Rio Hondo College, she moved to Goleta in 1968 to begin a love affair with that community which lasted all her remaining years. With a degree as a Licensed Vocational Nurse, she worked at Cottage Hospital, Goleta Valley Community Hospital, and various other institutions around the community. Outraged by seeing the suffering inflicted by drunk drivers on many of her patients, she formed and headed the local Santa Barbara chapter of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers). She devoted many of her waking hours to accompanying the victims to Court, guiding them through the legal procedures, and trying to obtain for them some measure of justice. For many years thereafter, she was a gadfly on Goleta body politics. She helped in the struggle to incorporate the City of Goleta. She attended countless meetings of all kinds, with an especial love for the Goleta Water Board, where her voice could always be heard speaking out on many issues. Having grown up in Northern California, she was well aware that when there was a water shortage in the South, the North would have no water to give. She tried to make the people see that the State Water Project was an exercise in futility, but the citizens voted for it. Only during the last half dozen years has the prescience of her viewpoint been recognized. 16

Outliving HIV Lorelei Davis, honored as a Local Hero for her work in AIDS education in 1991, wrote to The Santa Barbara Independent recently from Arizona. osh, I miss home so much. To give you an update on me and my health, I am now considered a VIP, having never taken any of the meds but am now completely virus free. There’s no sign of any viral load, nor did I ever convert from HIV to AIDS. Only thing wrong with me is I’m getting old. It’s a strange feeling when at one time I was considered not only an outcast somewhat, but I was also thinking I was going to die tomorrow. Instead I have seven wonderful grandchildren and two crazy dogs, and my life is full. I still at times speak on AIDS because there are still some very ignorant people, and some very intelligent ones, who still don’t get it and put themselves at risk. To those infected or affected, never forget and never give up. Only you can protect yourself, not your spouse or partner. Just because there are meds out there doesn’t always mean they will work for you or be affordable. So continue to live, love, and laugh, but safely.

t is common knowledge among scientists and those who care that honeybees and butterflies need our protection. Bee populations are declining, thanks in large part to the use of pesticides. However, a swarm that could have been removed with ease from Home Depot’s garden department was killed, a decision based on corporate policy. No call was made to any local bee rescue group. Clearly we need to have restrictions in place, throughout our county, so that honeybee swarms are safely removed wherever and whenever possible. — Lisa Ann Kelly, S.B.

‘sometimes you Hear the Bullet’ In the ER the Night of the Isla Vista Shooting
S
“
by Jason Prystowsky, MD, M P H
ometimes You Hear the Bullet” is the title of my
favorite show from the first season of M*A*S*H. In this episode, Captain Hawkeye Pierce realizes that war is not something distant or abstract but something close enough to make a whizzing sound as it touches those we love. Sometimes, unfortunately, we hear the bullet. I am an emergency physician with Cottage Hospital and a professor at UCSB. I had the burden and the privilege of working in the emergency room the evening of May 23, 2014. It was a terrible night. The emergency department was busy before the first shot was fired. The crisis of emergency department “overcrowding” is not a word to those in emergency health care and response; it’s a daily reality. The waiting room was full. Our doctors, nurses, and technicians were scurrying to keep up with the overwhelming pace. We never turn any patients away. Throughout the country, emergency rooms are a safety net for the most ill, the most critically injured, the mentally sick, and those with nowhere else to go. As our health-care crisis escalates, more and more people are without options and come to the emergency department suffering and in need of care. In that moment when a gunman attacked our community, our emergency room was already busy: Every room held critically ill patients, patients on gurneys were parked in the hallways, the waiting room was packed with coughing, aching, and hurting people counting the minutes to be seen. A phone call came in from EMS (emergency medical services). It was a heads-up. There was an active shooter in Isla Vista, unknown how many injured. We looked at each other in a brief moment of silence. It was an MCI or “mass casualty incident.” We knew what to do. We needed to clear rooms and get ready for incoming wounded. We called in help. We quickly sent patients to other departments in the hospital or sent them home — anything to open up a room in the ER for incoming injured. Our minutes were precious, and we used them sparingly in preparation for what was to come. The medic radio rang. The first patient. The second patient. The third. The fourth. The fith. They kept coming. Our trauma surgeons were already in the ER, and the operating-room staff was ready by the time the first ambulance arrived. The hospital rallied around us. Physicians came in on their night off. Oncall doctors came in before we called. One colleague sent a text message: “Do you have anything for me?” I replied, “Not yet. But they are coming.” And he said, “I am on my way in to help.” And that was the most common reply of the evening … I am on my way to help. A testament to the commitment of our local medical community. At one moment, I was taken by the calmness of it all — our doctors, nurses, techs, paramedics working in synchronized poetry. There was a grace about it that words cannot capture. Each person doing his or her part with professionalism, compassion, competence, and solidarity alongside the colleagues next to them. No pee breaks. No coffee breaks. No sitting down. A dissonance of noise in the background — ringing phones, radios, whistling alarms, familiar voices asking to hang blood or give medications. The enormity of the tasks in front of us. That night we took care of our community. We did what we were trained to do as a team. We did it well. A special recognition needs to be made of the brave men and women who work on ambulances. As the situation evolved, our dispatchers struggled to get law enforcement, fire, and EMS where they needed to be. Unlike other activeshooter incidents, our situation involved a shooter in a car. He always seemed to be one step ahead of where our dispatchers were sending help. Paramedics and EMTs confronted some of the toughest circumstances people in our line of work can face. I will always remember one of our EMTs who had a horrified look on her face ater dropping off a patient. She said,
“I hope they don’t send me back there.” And then her radio chimed. Like all our paramedics and EMTs who took exemplary care of patients and remained calm in the shadow of immense adversity, she went where she was dispatched, back into the chaos. If Hemingway was right, and courage is grace under pressure, then I can think of no better symbols of courage than the women and men of EMS who went into harm’s way to care for patients, delivered them to the safety of the hospital, and then went back in to do it again. There is a vague concept of time in emergency. A meditative clarity of having a great challenge in front of you that must be met as the surrounding world shrinks into insignificance. What were hours felt like minutes. We got the word from the incident commander on scene. There would be no more injured coming from Isla Vista. As quickly as it started … it ended. Without missing a beat, we turned our attention to the waiting room, which had grown in population over the last two hours — the patients who had no connection to Isla Vista but were in the waiting room. Back to a routine Friday night in the ER. Some of us have experience working in busy trauma centers. In Atlanta, Georgia, where I did some of my training, six patients with gunshot wounds over the span of an hour was nothing unusual. The reality of that dark truth is subject for a different dialogue. In my career, I have made too many haunting phone calls to worried parents in the middle of the
and a colleague texted, ‘I am on my way in to help.’ that was the most common reply of the evening … I am on my way to help. night, but this time I had to remind parents not to listen to the radio as they drove to Santa Barbara. Isla Vista had made the world news. At about 3 a.m., one of our techs asked, “I live in Isla Vista. Is it safe for me to go home?” Some of our hospital ER staff and EMS personnel live in Isla Vista. Some coworkers are UCSB students. Some are alumni of the UCSB sorority that was attacked. This night was different. We heard the bullet. About 5 a.m., sitting on my porch ater a tough night at work, the immensity hit me. I teach a seminar at UCSB with 200 enrolled students. Were any of the deceased my students? I help run a nonprofit that provides medical care to the homeless with 150 student volunteers, most living in Isla Vista. Were any of the deceased one of our volunteers? As an educator, had I given a lecture to an audience that included the perpetrator? I had spent my career working in inner-city trauma centers and war zones. I had taken care of people shot in gang violence, shot in ethnic cleansing, shot in war; the victims seemed from a different world. But this time, our community had been attacked. Our students were the victims. This was not supposed to happen in our Santa Barbara. This is not supposed to happen anywhere. In emergency care, we have hard nights. That is part of the job we all sign up for. We shake it off and return to work. The
ER that next evening was the same ER that I have grown to love. But something had changed. We felt a stronger connection. We told awful jokes. We shared junk food. We supported one another. Cottage Hospital had coordinated an incident stress debrief, which many of us participated in. We continued to take excellent care of our Santa Barbara because healing others is otentimes the best way to heal ourselves. Whether or not we admit it, that night affected all of us. Rule #1, take care of the patient. Rule #2, take care of each other. Always do both. Over the next few weeks, I was let with haunting questions. Questions that remain unanswered. Why is it so much easier and so much less expensive to
acquire a firearm and large quantities of ammunition than it is to get an appointment with a mental-health professional within three months? Why is the wait longer to see a psychiatrist than to acquire a gun? Why are there so many more discount gun stores than psychiatric hospitals and mental-health clinics in our country? Would a well-armed Isla Vista, armed teachers, armed students, or armed fire fighters and EMTs make the body count higher or lower? Why do we invest so little in mental-health surveillance and mental-health interventions in our schools? Why do so many of the perpetrators slip under the radar? Why are we so oten caught off guard? For all my friends who are responsible gun owners, how do we keep guns and ammunition out of the wrong hands? Would a tax on ammunition to fund mental-health resources be reasonable? What if it were necessary to have certification of having met with a mental-health professional prior to obtaining a permit to purchase a gun? Why is there so much hate and anger in our society that drives young men mad with feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and rage? What can we do as a community to limit people acting out this anger with violence? Six months ago, I was in the Democratic Republic of Congo; I was part of a team collecting data predicting whether the rebels were rearming to prepare for another wave of ethnic violence. We interviewed nurses in rural clinics who described how armed groups inflicted machete wounds, gender-based violence, and gunshot wounds to the villagers to inspire terror. One of the nurses asked, “Dr. Jason, do you know what it is like to have an armed man come into your village and kill the women?” Yes, I do. It is unacceptable. My final question, one year ater this event: Why did we stop talking about it? Sometimes it takes hearing the bullet to remind us that events such as this should never happen. And yet they do happen … over and over again. We must do what we can to prevent these acts of violence from ever happening again. This incident affected us all. Please continue to talk about it. And maybe the dialogue will progress to action and then to change. Not one more. A special thank you to our brave men and women in EMS, fire, law enforcement, 9-1-1 dispatch, and emergency health care who stand ready, capable, and willing to care for our community during its darkest hour. It is an honor to serve our Santa Barbara alongside you. Thank you. What you do matters. Jason Prystowsky, MD, MPH, FACEP, is an emergency physician at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. He is also medical director for Doctors Without Walls – Santa Barbara Street Medicine and the Santa Barbara City Fire Department. As a visiting assistant professor at UCSB, he teaches a seminar on Underserved Medicine in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies.

The other, bigger occasion of adversity that percolated There were plenty of fun acceptance speeches, as well, through several of the evening’s beautiful acceptance speeches like the one staged by Jeff Mills and his Proboscis company was the ongoing impact of the tragic shootings in Isla Vista to celebrate Mills’s award for La La La Strada. that took place almost exactly one year ago. UCSB professor Equipped with the marionette of Federico Irwin Appel, who was honored for his direction of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Equivocation, was the first to touch on this subject, as he recalled the night of the tragedy, which also happened to be the opening night of Equivocation. When the play was over on that fateful Friday, the house lights did not come up as usual. Instead, the show’s stage manager informed the cast that there had been an incident in I.V., and that as a result, they would be staying on campus at least until it was safe for them to go home.

Fellini that Christina McCarthy created for the show and aided by several of his cast members, Mills thanked everyone involved in both Fellini’s voice and his own while engaging in some classic ventriloquist bickering with the dummy. Diane Louise Salinger capped a moving tribute to, among others, Olivia Harris, the casting director who chose her to play Tallulah Bankhead in Ensemble Theatre Company’s production of Looped, with the following words:“This role changed my life; I hope I’m wilder, more outrageous, and sexier because of her.” David and Susie Couch received a standing ovation when they went up to accept their career achievement award for running Circle Bar B Dinner Theatre, the long-lived little theater in Gaviota that closed in the fall of 2014. Susie Couch, visibly moved by the tribute, praised all of the many collaborators who “no matter what we asked of them, always said ‘yes.’” Here’s hoping that the duo’s promised second act comes together soon. Boxtales received the evening’s other career achievement award in recognition of its 20th season. Michael Loring Andrews anchored the group acceptance celebration in an outrageous polka-dot suit.

Old Spanish Days
Fiesta on Film
Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch Panoramic views of Santa Barbara and dramatic rock formations make Lizard’s Mouth a favorite for both hard-core rock climbers and anyone who loves the great outdoors. With plenty of caves and hideaways, it’s easy to spend a day discovering new places in the seemingly endless fields of rocks. Mike Johnson (right) has spent a lot of time in the area since learning to climb almost three years ago. “I used to be a pro mountain biker and do motocross, but I decided to switch to something a little safer, where I didn’t break as many bones,” he said while waiting for a friend with his dog, Sam. Although the trail is beautiful, beware of broken glass. “This place is great, but it needs a lot of cleanup,” he said. “I always pick up some trash when I’m out here.”
With Old Spanish Days spirit in the air thanks to Saturday’s unveiling of this year’s Fiesta poster, this weekend is a good and last chance to see Polka Dot Alley, a trilogy of dance documentaries focused on Santa Barbara’s vibrant and often cutthroat youth flamenco scene. Filmed over four years and involving 100-plus dancers, the three feature-length films focus on five primary young ladies, their choreographers, and their families, delving into occasionally controversial, always colorful territory. The Polka Dot Alley trilogy screens this Sunday, May 24, at 3, 5:30, and 8 p.m. at the New Vic Theatre. See polkadotalley.com. — Indy Staff

Above All Fly Girls Soar Across Country
I
n 1929, 20 pilots took to the skies for the first-ever Women’s Air Derby, an all-female, cross-country air race. On June 15, three Santa Barbara women — Jessie Davidson, Topaz Grabman, and Aravni Khachikians — will fly cross-country to compete in the 2015 version of what’s now known as the Air Race Classic, held June 22-25. But first place isn’t the only destination on their radar. Calling themselves the Above All Fly Girls, the trio will travel from Santa Barbara to the starting line in Fredericksburg, Virginia, to its finish in Fairhope, Alabama, and back, stopping en route at multiple Girls Inc. clubs to educate young girls about careers in flying. In a field where less than 7 percent of pilots are female, the Above All girls hope their journey— part roadless road trip, part race, part educational journey tour— will inspire women nationwide to achieve their own tour lofty dreams. The three were first inspired to fly the race in December of last year, when Shawn Sullivan, owner of Above All Aviation, recommended they join. As passionate recreational flyers with professional ambitions, the three seized the chance to compete in the race, which would test their skills with long distances, fuel limitations, and foreign weather systems. “I’ve dealt with a marine layer before, but never a thunderstorm,” Davidson said, who, like her fellow Fly Girls, welcomes the thrill of the unseen and unknown. Yet when they first enlisted, the biggest unknown of all— all how to cover the $11,000 costs of racing fees, fuel, and accommodations — loomed large on the horizon. The trio staged
a fundraiser on April 11, and the community matched their enthusiasm, covering all costs within a single day. Their flight school provided an essential lift, donating a Cessna 182, equipped with a Garmin 696 GPS system donated by Avionics & Maintenance West. “It has brought our community together, and we really are thankful,” Grabman said. FRIENDLY SKIES: Santa Barbara pilots (from left) Topaz Grabman, Jessie Davidson, On April 29, the three visited and Aravni Khachikians will leave town on June 15 to enter the all-female, crosscountry Air Race Classic on June 22.

ating and fundraising are two of Santa Barbara’s favorite hobbies, and they converge on Friday, May 29, when TV star chef Vanessa Craig (Goleta resident who starred in All-Star Academy) hosts a benefit dinner at the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate on the Gaviota Coast to benefit earthquake-rattled Nepal. She’ll be serving a family-style, traditional Nepalese meal on long communal tables, featuring a Nepalese curry, fry cakes, and chai tea, among other dishes, all to be eaten with your hands. “We felt we should really submerge our guests in the feeling of Nepal,” said Craig — except, perhaps, for the fine wine and beer, provided by Larner, Kunin, Kaena, Valley Brewers, and a dozen more producers. Tickets are $100, but there will be farm-to-bar cocktails and an estate tour for $250 VIPs (including those who spend $1,000 for a table of eight). The money, including from the live and silent auctions, goes straight to the Manakamana Foundation, which was recently founded to help with quake relief. A representative from the organization will speak, and a Skype call will be made to a correspondent in Nepal. “We’ll be able to see where the money is going, which I think is very special,” said Craig.

I 
Dad Bod?
have bad news for CrossFit fellas, mud runners, and other muscle men: The hottest look on the beach this summer is not the sculpted torso and chiseled thighs of the gym rat. It’s the Dad Bod. You heard me. What’s got girls giddy is the plain, pasty, paunchy physique of a man who’s more likely to be dining on leftover chicken fingers and mac ’n’ cheese than he is to be hoisting kettle bells. (Is that what one does with kettle bells? Does one hoist? Endowed with a Mom Bod, I wouldn’t know.) Since January, the Instagram feed CollegeDadBods has amassed more than 22,000 followers and 70 images of young men with guts that range from mildly untoned to Jason Segel-esque to full-on basketball rotund. In a recent article on the college news site the Odyssey, South Carolina coed Mackenzie Pearson explained “Why Girls Love the Dad Bod.â€? Pearson, who’s penned such other must-reads as “Ring by Spring or Fling?â€? and “What Waxing Half My Eyebrow Off Taught Me About Lifeâ€? (I know, said the columnist who once wrote about vajazzling: no judgment), contends there are five reasons for this sudden jones for jiggly joes — two of which are that girls look better standing beside a squishy guy. Other reasons are cuddliness, a willingness to indulge in delicious things, and the comfort of already knowing what he’s going to look like when he’s hauling a diaper bag in 15 years. Makes sense to me. In a culture where self-involvement is at an alltime high, a pronounced disinterest in one’s own body fat percentage is a precious truffle of normalness to be sought after and savored. And if you want to do more than look at a man’s rocking body and ‌ by Starshine well, maybe rub up against it just a little bit in a nice, quiet place — ahem, sorry, if you want to make email: starshine@roshell.com long-term plans with the human it houses, then you’d better find a guy who can hold your attention longer than he can hold a plank. I feel this way, too, about men who are exceedingly well dressed. They’re nice to look at, but ultimately their efforts feel a little too fussy to be truly attractive. I always wonder what important aspects of his personality, career, or relationships a guy is not working on during the time he spends shopping for exactly that right pair of jeans and matching that tie to those socks. The pendulum swings all over the place for women’s physiques, from zaftig Bettie Page to spindly Twiggy, and from athletic Elle Macpherson back to buxom SofĂa Vergara. Why shouldn’t men’s frames follow suit? Perhaps the Dad Bod phenomenon is further evidence (like we needed any) that what turns a woman on is not appearance so much as the competence that the appearance implies. And if rippling biceps and washboard abs once alerted us to a man’s highly coveted ability to hunt for and protect the clan, then do fatherly flab and patchy back hair point to a man’s commitment to focusing on the other people in his life? An absence of vanity that serves his woman and children well? As I write this, my better half and his fit-but-far-from-burly Dad Bod are limping and nursing a gooey elbow abrasion from injuries he sustained while sprinting across an intersection to buy PeptoBismol for our suddenly nauseated son during the intermission of a school play. Rather than spend the 15 minutes of intermission standing in line for a brownie at the bake sale to indulge his sweet tooth — or even doing push-ups in the quad to indulge his machismo — he spent them in service, and then in pain. And I don’t care if you’re in college, at the beach, or chin-deep in a bowl of mac ’n’ cheese. That’s hot.

No. 8 Gauchos Finish Season Strong; Plus SBCC Vaqueros, UCSB Women’s Basketball, and Student-Athletes
U
by John Zant CSB’s Caesar Uyesaka Stadium, despite its
inadequacies, was a rocking place to watch college baseball this season. The Gauchos, playing in one of the toughest conferences in the country, gave one gritty performance after another. They wrapped up their home schedule last weekend against UC Irvine by sweeping the Anteaters with a rare blowout victory (10-5) and two nail-biters (3-2 and 6-5). The Gauchos have played in 20 one-run games, winning 15 of them. Perhaps the most dramatic occurred earlier in the week, a nonconference road game at Cal State Bakersfield. Trailing 7-6 with nobody on and two outs in the top of the ninth, UCSB got life when Cameron Newell was hit by a pitch. Up stepped Austin Bush, a strapping freshman who spends most games on the bench. Down to his last strike, he smashed a two-run home run, giving the Gauchos an 8-7 lead and, a half inning later, another one-run win. Senior catcher Campbell Wear called the hero “Awesome Bush.” The Irvine series finale on Sunday was designated Senior Day in homage to UCSB’s six graduating players: Wear; infielders Peter Maris and Woody Woodward; and outfielders Newell, Luke Swenson, and Scott Quinlan. They’ve been solid all season. Newell’s batting average (.383) tops the Big West. Wear keeps the pitchers on target. Maris mans the hot corner (third base) and delivered a two-run jack that sparked the Gauchos in the Irvine opener. Two other Gauchos most likely played their final home games last weekend: junior pitchers Dillon Tate and Justin Jacome, hot prospects for the upcoming major-league draft. Coach Andrew Checketts extolled the performances of Gaucho freshmen: Bush for his inspirational blast at Bakersfield, Chris Clements and Kyle Nelson for their clutch pitching in relief, and shortstop Clay Fisher, who was recruited for his glove and has come through several times with his bat. Fisher was the hero in Saturday’s victory, which took 11 innings to accomplish. After Swenson’s RBI tied the score in the eighth, and Clements extinguished UCI rallies in the ninth, 10th and 11th, Fisher came up with one out, runners on first and second, and the Anteaters hoping for a double-play ball. What they got was Fisher’s hard smash down the left-field line, sending J.J. Muno home with the winning run. Another freshman, designated hitter Kyle Plantier, got into the act Sunday with a two-run double that gave the Gauchos a 6-3 lead. They needed all of it, as UCI swung the bat aggressively against Shane Bieber, UCSB’s third standout starting pitcher. The Anteaters chipped away until Nelson got the last two outs with a pair of runners on base in the ninth.

UCSB Baseball Enters Home Stretch Robby Nesovic, a junior first baseman who can also be called on to pitch, dug out several throws for putouts and maintained his batting average at .349. Center fielder Andrew Calica, who runs down fly balls like American Pharoah heading toward the wire, had such a fine series against Irvine (.546 on-base percentage) that the Big West named him field player of the week. With three regular-season games to play—this weekend at last-place UC Riverside — the Gauchos are 39-13-1 overall and 15-6 in the Big West, a game behind Cal State Fullerton (16-5) and two ahead of UC Irvine and Cal Poly (13-8). The conference could send three teams into the NCAA tournament. UCI finished third last year and advanced all the way to the College World Series. The Gauchos, ranked as high as No. 8 in the national polls, have the best shot at being named host of a subregional round when the NCAA announces its 64-team bracket on Monday. But they can’t play on their home diamond for several reasons, including no lights.UCSB has arranged to rent the 6,600-seat ballpark of the minorleague Lake Elsinsore Storm.

or Maureen Foley, life is all about reinvention. The chef/owner of Red Hen Cannery has been a number of things in her life—novelist, artist, teacher, Indy staffer —and never planned to make marmalades professionally, until life called for a shift in gears. Ever adaptable, Foley fell back on her Carpinteria farm-girl roots and writerly instincts, using her grandmother’s recipes as inspiration for a sophisticated line of preserves. In flavors like her roasted peach brown sugar, Santa Rosa plum and chai spice, and three citrus and bourbon marmalade, Foley starts with simple seasonal fruit flavors pulled from her family’s ranch and adds a poetic flavor twist. For the few fruits she can’t find at home, she sources from other nearby farms. Her efforts are paying off. In addition to having a strong Farmers Market following, Red Hen jams and marmalades are on the shelves of Flagstone Pantry, Book Ends Café, Porch, and Beach Bowl and also at retailers in Costa Mesa and Calabasas. Recently, Foley’s creations garnered international acclaim at this year’s 10th Annual Dalemain Marmalade Festival in England, with her Tangelo-Kumquat Marmalade earning a gold and her Spicy Orange Marmalade earning a silver for their international marmalade categories. We checked out three of her best marmalades just before the summer fruit season begins.

angelically sweet confiture perfectly balances sharp cheddar and works as the base for a light marinade. This won the gold, but be warned: Tangelo season is over, making this a very limited-edition batch. Spicy Orange Marmalade: This spread is rich with cin-
namon and sumptuous autumnal spice, with just a slight bit of lingering heat. Calling it “a Californian version of Thanksgiving cranberry sauce,” Foley suggests pairing with pumpkin bread or spreading it on a turkey sandwich. Irish Whiskey Marmalade: This best seller is inspired by her husband’s Irish roots. The fruit-forward spread is all orange at the onset, with an Irish creamy undercurrent revealing itself at the back of the palate. It would be marvelous woven into a citrus-chocolate soufflé. — Richie DeMaria See redhencannery.com.
HOG WILD: Jake O. Francis feeds his bacon-to-be on a ranch in Los Olivos.
Perfecting PorK at
Valley Piggery A
round 8 months old, Kevin Bacon is approaching 300 pounds, which means the Berkshire cross pig’s time enjoying acorns, oak tree shade, and the leisurely life alongside a creek in the Los Alamos Valley will soon come to a close. In the next few weeks, he’ll be butchered (likely in front of a class), and his body will either be roasted for a special event, sold to a handful of restaurants, or distributed directly to individual customers who subscribe to regular pork packages. That’s the basic protocol for the Valley Piggery, a boutique, sustainably minded, and educationfocused company run by Jake O. Francis. Looking more movie star (think Jared Leto crossed with Johnny Depp) than pig farmer, Francis hails from outside of Seattle but spent time at restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan before falling for pigs at a farm and restaurant in Athens, Georgia. “I realized that I wanted a more persistent and consistent connection to my food,” said Francis, who then started his own boutique pig company called Pork Chop Hill. When his girlfriend, Amy Gard’ner, was offered a horticultural job in Lompoc, Francis came along, working for Dey Dey’s before launching Valley Piggery in July 2013. “I team with ranchers to use underutilized portions of their land,” said Francis, who currently works with one ranch in Los Alamos and one in Los Olivos, with about 15 total pigs at any one time. Unlike traditional pig farmers, whose skill sets and interests typically just involve raising animals, Francis fills a unique niche, willing to teach others, cater events big and small, work with other chefs, and run a community-supported agriculture, or CSA, program. “It’s kind of A to Z,” he explained. Interest steadily grows, with 240 subscribers to the CSA (though only the first dozen or so orders can be fulfilled by the two pigs he harvests every month) and regular deliveries going to Industrial Eats in Buellton, Bacon & Brine in Solvang, SY Kitchen in Santa Ynez, and the Patagonia commissary in Ventura. He’ll also roast a whole pig for about $1,700 or cater a full menu for roughly $55 to $65 per person, depending on where and how many people. The next opportunity to see Francis in action is this Friday, May 22, 5-8 p.m., at Industrial Eats (181 Industrial Wy., Buellton), where he’ll host a pig butchery workshop alongside Jeff Olsson of Industrial Eats and New West Catering.

The UndergroUnd YoUTh Beautiful and damned ep Beautiful and Damned is the latest EP by Manchester band The Underground Youth, which has been realizing its neo-psychedelic/post-punk music since 2008, after artist Craig Dyer decided (like a latter-day Ian Curtis) to put his poetry to music. Upon recruiting his Siberian wife, Olya Dyer, to play The Jesus and Mary Chain–esque percussion, the duo was signed to alternative label Fuzz Club Records. Guitarist Thomas Joseph was added to the lineup in 2011, and a subtle shift in direction resulted. Thus far the band has put out six self-produced albums and two EPs. Whereas earlier efforts such as 2010’s outstanding Mademoiselle had much more of a
Spacemen 3/Velvet Underground/Anton Newcombe ambiance, Beautiful and Damned treads convincingly toward dark-wave territory. There are four songs on the EP: “Behind,” “Damned,” “Naked,” and “Shadow.” The atmospheric “Behind” is a lover’s entreaty. “Damned” seems descended from The Sisters of Mercy’s “Temple of Love”— albeit with a sloweddown tempo. The opening riff on “Naked” recalls The Cure’s “Seventeen Seconds,” although Dyer’s lyrics are arguably stronger than Robert Smith’s. And at seven minutes, final track “Shadow” is a slow-burning horror show, with its chill factor that’s Edgar Allan Poe by way of Joy Division.

ompoc is blooming again. Once known for its vast flower fields, the city has been getting recognition in the past five years from its proximity to the Sta. Rita Hills appellation, which is making some of the world’s finest pinot noir. Subsequently, a portion of the downtown has been revitalized thanks to myriad wine tasting rooms that have opened there. But wine rooms alone do not a city’s cultural center make. Enter the Lompoc Theatre Project, a group of volunteers who have been working since 2012 to breathe life back into the historic walls of Lompoc’s original arts venue. Standing tall, if neglected, the nearly 90-year-old building, which served as the town’s “primary venue for entertainment, culture, and civic events” from 1927 until the 1970s, is poised once again to reign. “The Wine Ghetto changed everything,” said Mark Herrier, president of the Theatre Project. “There are cultural organizations, the [Lompoc] Civic Theatre, the Lompoc Chorale, the Lompoc Pops — these are good, nice entities, but they are rehearsing

For 20 years, Santa Barbara’s theater community has supported the education and transformation of young people through writing for the stage. The Young Playwrights’ Festival, which celebrates this momentous anniversary at the Elings Performing Arts Center at Dos Pueblos High School on Saturday, May 23, at 2 and 7 p.m., offers high school students the opportunity not only to study the art of playwriting but also to see their work come alive through staged readings featuring professional actors. Rich Hoag, Jeff Meek, Shannon Saleh, and Samantha Eve are the talented adults who will join Dos Pueblos theater program acting students to deliver the lines and create the characters that seven of the school’s novice playwrights have imagined. The program is the brainchild of theater teacher/producer Clark Sayre and will be directed by Gioia Marchese. When I met with the students onstage at the Elings Center last week, the excitement was palpable. Asked what they love about this program, the students offered a wide range of answers, from “When I started writing plays, I didn’t know anyone, but now I do, much more so than in any of my other classes” to “There’s nothing like seeing the smiles — or the shock — on people’s faces when they hear and see what you have written performed.” The range of styles and subjects explored by these young writers is remarkable, as well. In Trial by Fury, AJ Nisich portrays what he describes as “a courtroom drama meets the Roman coliseum in the future.” Gordon Dawson’s medieval coming-of-age story, Eternal Night, was heavily influenced by The Lord of the Rings, while Aivy Nguyen’s Struck … Literally takes its inspiration from the ultra-contemporary world of teen celebrities as seen on such programs and websites as TMZ. Other student writers who will have plays performed include Cayla Henry, Santi Melendez, Justin Ealand, and Natalie Nelson. If you are a fan of contemporary drama, or if you are interested in how good schools are encouraging students to enjoy learning more, then you’ll want to check out the Young Playwrights’ Festival. — Charles Donelan

his excellent group show demonstrates the ongoing commitment of Sullivan Goss, An American Gallery, to researching and rewriting the history of American art. Although by now many women artists have cracked the boys’ club of art history, there’s a tendency for their efforts to appear as isolated exceptions to the dominant male narrative, as with Georgia O’Keeffe, or as pendants to the life stories of their more famous spouses, as in the case of Lee Krasner Pollock. For this exhibition, curator Jeremy Tessmer has focused on the art of strong women modernists active between 1915 and today as a way of both proclaiming the high quality of their work and of indicating the all-important social context that made the creation of modern art so appealing and important to progressive women beginning in the second part of the 19th century. At a time when women were still denied the vote and had to live within constraints on their public behavior that today seem profoundly sexist, the study and practice of fine art offered an opportunity to evade the claims of a society that preferred women to take a secondary role in virtually all activities outside the home.

by a thriving art scene populated by sympathetic souls of both genders. Restricted from conventional life drawing classes due to the simultaneous presence of men and nude figure models, these women were forced to realize their ambitions in seemingly less-provocative genres such as still life. Looking at Vollmer’s “Tulips and Watercan,” which was painted in 1942, or any of the other paintings she did of flowers while working in her De la Guerra Street studio, it’s easy to see that the absence of naked human flesh did nothing to stop her from apprehending and expressing the angular edginess that was one of the aesthetic signatures of the modernist movement. Vollmer imbues her subjects with the painterly vitality and gestural daring associated with her mentor Hans Hofmann, but she typically does so under the guise of “minor” genres, such as the still life. In fact, the sense that it is possible to embrace progressive aesthetic tendencies under cover of traditional subject matter can be felt in many of the images in this show, including those by contemporary artists and those by artists from elsewhere in the United States. Betty Lane is primarily associated with New England, where she painted and taught art. Her “Portrait of Holly” is a colorful composition that represents a dark-haired woman in white shorts and a tank top reclining on a chaise longue at the beach. The bright, relatively unblended colors and the picture’s simple yet powerful geometric composition recall Matisse, but there’s an undertone of women’s liberation in the unmistakable exaltation in her independent pose.

Both German-born violinist Christian Tetzlaff and pianist Lars Vogt have an exquisite German-in-the-pocket pure tone—always bull’s-eye pitch with rich and delicate overtones. Tetzlaff mostly played with his eyes closed and gently bended his knees as he swayed to the music; Vogt, intense but always relaxed, had a plum cherry sound with light tannins.

Wolfgang Mozart: Sonata for Piano and Violin in B-flat Major, K.454. Mozart, of course, is the undisputed wunderkind definition of genius: pure musical beauty and perfection in every balanced note he wrote. The violin’s melodic lines were the gentle breeze caressing, the arpeggiated piano lines a comfortable hammock. The duo had a majestic and moving crescendo: I could feel nostalgia trying to break through my tear ducts. Béla Bartók: Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 1, Sz. 75. Bartók is considered the unofficial gateway drug to the modern period. He is the innovator of quartal harmony (chords based on fourths instead of thirds), abstract tritonal relationships, and percussive piano techniques. Not only did he steer the course of Western music, but most great jazz pianist have studied his piano concertos with a microscope. This sonata was intense and dreamy —a hazy mist of Humphrey Bogart looking for bad guys—featuring frenzied up-and-down arpeggiated violin with punchy piano stabs: thunder and brimstone but never losing its eerie sul ponticello (scary-sounding effect played near the violin bridge) charm. They were dripping with sweat at the end of that Bartók piece. Super intense. Anton Webern: Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op. 7. Webern was a scholar of early music, a prized pupil of Schönberg, and, unbeknownst to him, a cult leader of the school of Webern. Every composer after him has been making the academic rite of passage to decipher his music, which is a particular approach of melding relationships between different intervals in different instrumental lines within a Renaissance architecture. Four Pieces was a sci-fi silhouette that featured 10,000 spiders sprinting toward the ceilings: silence, stillness, and then unrelenting violin vibrato. Johannes Brahms: Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 3 in D minor, Op. 108. Brahms, a brilliant star in the shadow of Beethoven, was in the boxing ring with Wagner for most of his career, fighting for the future of Germanic music. The Brahms sonata ventures into Beethoven land and has a sweet ballad in the second movement.You can hear a lot of Bach sensibility in the latter part of the piece, as Brahms was also a master scholar of counterpoint. The duo did a superb job of making every line stand out through lush and articulated brush strokes.

An Afternoon with the 2014 Nobel Peace Laureate
I’M A BROOKLYN BABY: Just when the trends of New York’s hippest borough
seem so thoroughly rehashed and beaten that they could fill a whole cemetery with dead horses, along comes an exciting new act to remind you why acts from Brooklyn continue to draw so much buzz. Ava Luna brought its weirdo New York R&B-funk-wop to the FUNZONE on Sunday, May 17, evoking forefathers like The Velvet Underground and Talking Heads in their bassy punctuations and lovely harmonies, but a bit more Poetry Club. Not a head stopped bobbing during their entire set. Highlights included Felicia Douglass’s heavenly vocals on “Coat of Shellac” and Becca Kauffman’s theatric stares on the spoken-word number “Roses and Cherries.” I went from unfamiliar to instant fan. Joining the bill was Chicago-bred Young Jesus, powerful indie rockers, perhaps a bit too earnest but still strong; FUNZONE mainstays the Sun Daes, their relaxed vibes even more so sans drummer; and bright young area duo Honey Maid, which nearly stole the show with its opening post-poppunk set that featured rocking sad-happy songs like “Sadness Mattress” and “Microwave.” Though the touring acts may have had a tad more polish to them, none were as fun. Speaking of fun, a shout-out to the FUNZONE for providing an allages venue with such a warm and DIY spirit. For those who haven’t been, go — not just for the music but also for the meditative batting cages. HIP-HOP HOORAY: Ventura rapper-singer KYLE’s ever-rising tide of success continues to swell into a bigger and bigger wave, with the Ventura High grad’s King Wavy Tour cresting at a headlining spot last week at the Majestic Theater on Thursday, May 14. For those who are just now catching the wave yourselves, check out KYLE’s poignant new video, “Wait On Me,” dedicated to his late grandfather. He also just released “It’s Lit!” featuring another up-and-comer, Iamsu!, and it’s catching fire all across the Internet. (Iamsu!, by the way, also recently collaborated with Casey Veggies, who was here in April.) A huge congrats to our 805 hero for making it this far, and hoping him a swell remainder of the tour. In other hip-hop news, Velvet Jones delivered a one-two punch this past weekend with a Friday-night appearance from Sacramento’s C-BO and a Saturday-night visit from L.A.’s Abstract Rude, two legends of the genre at different ends of the spectrum. Like the rain that welcomed the weekend, so much veteran hip-hop talent packed into two days is a rare thing in town. C-BO, a gangsta rapper so real he scared the authorities into jailing him for his lyrics alone, is famed for classics like Tales from the Crypt and his work with Tupac Shakur. The thoughtful and prolific artist recently spoke to The Indy (see independent.com/cbo) and seems to be moving with life’s changes very well — he has a new album slated for this year. Abstract Rude followed up the next night and put the venue in a much different headspace with his chilled-out West Coast sound. Beaming in from the Golden Era of hip-hop, he’s a man of sage wisdoms and simple truths. Did somebody say Sage? Velvet Jones continues its roll this Thursday, May 21, with Sage Francis. For those of you who may not remember when hip-hop got very literary around the early 2000s, Sage Francis was one of the most respected and acclaimed to rise among his fellow wordsmiths, with some saying he is among his generation’s best lyricists. He released Copper Gone in 2014 after a four-year hiatus, so now would be a great time n to see him, fresh and back in action. Doors open at 8 p.m.

Escapist OdyssEy
BIG NAMES. SMALL ROOM.
Mad Max: Fury Road. Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, and Nicholas Hoult star in a film written by George Miller, Brendan McCarthy, and Nick Lathouris and directed by Miller. Reviewed by D.J. Palladino
G
eorge Miller’s fourth Mad Max film is a masterpiece, even in an era of dystopian films. Like Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, specifically referenced at one point, Fury Road blends the truly hideous with the spectacularly beautiful. The movie is an escapist odyssey that nonetheless passes hard judgments on humanity, a detailed descent into hell made with sure rhythms by a director who understands when to apply full throttle and when to ease up so we can think over all we have seen. Nobody does action scenes better. “My world is fire and blood,” says Max (Tom Hardy stepping into Mel Gibson’s sandy boots) at the outset before munching a two-headed lizard. Then the most artfully choreographed opening chase scene since Indiana Jones follows. If The Road Warrior was a freak show war movie, and Beyond Thunderdome science-fiction fable-making, Fury Road is a western where hope and faith are ridiculed and then bought with a lot of blood. (The movie, though violent, shows little actual carnage.) Hardy plays a laconic drifter drawn into saving what passes for a town in the post-apocalyptic outback. There’s even a captivity narrative concerning badass Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), stolen herself
IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD: Tom Hardy (right) steps into Mel Gibson’s sandy boots for the fourth installment of George Miller’s Mad Max series.
and who then steals the private harem of an evil warlord who looks like a troll doll on bad steroids. She runs for a paradise she remembers. Maybe they don’t ride horses — nature is eradicated, remember — but they do head the bad guys off at a pass twice with exploding spears, wacky hybrid vehicles, chainsaws, and the occasional flamethrower. Falls, flips, and slow-motion explosions abound. It isn’t a pretty place. Tumors, goiters, and deformities also abound. But the film keeps turning corners into visions of beauty—the escaped women, a night beneath the unspoiled stars when a satellite goes overhead, and a strong take on women as warriors. Miller doesn’t stop to explain anything, but it’s a mistake to think his motives are unclear. “Who killed the world?” is the film’s mantra question. People running around in gashog vehicles after the fall is the shameful answer. People are still killing the world. n

LuminOus timEs Far from the Madding Crowd. Carey Mulligan, Michael Sheen, and Tom Sturridge star in a film written by David Nicholls, based on the novel by Thomas Hardy, and directed by Thomas Vinterberg. Reviewed by Richie DeMaria
i
n Far from the Madding Crowd, an adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s serial novel, a fiercely independent woman named Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan) must choose between three stubborn male suitors: Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), an angelic and sturdy bough of a man; William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), a brooding wolf-man of great wealth; and Sergeant Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), a dashing and ribald tin soldier. Each one proposes marriage to her more or less immediately, and the indecisive but self-confident heroine, in her shifting desires, strings them along as far as she can. Things get complicated. Director Thomas Vinterberg faithfully tells this 2015 rendition of the oft-retold classic, maintaining the pastoral gentility of the period-piece genre without drowning it in sappy sentiment. Hardy wrote of a tragic universe stitched with sad happenstance, and Vinterberg does well to maintain both the more shadowy elements of Hardy’s style as well as his lyrical sweetness. Charlotte Bruus Christensen deserves special mention for her cinematography. Each scene is bathed in beautiful countryside light, making this more of a moving landscape painting than a film; a scene of beached livestock, dead underneath the rising sun, is a memorable masterwork.
PERIOD-PIECE PERFECTION: Carey Mulligan stars in this beautifully realized adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd.
Even those who tend to shy away from the stiff, stodgy style of period pieces will likely find much to enjoy in this sumptuous film. Hardy was and still is a great storyteller, and his adapters here have done an excellent job upholding his habit of deferring and derailing the outcome so that not one seems especially obvious. The ending feels a little rushed, given all the twists and turns it took to get there, but better to have more buildup and less sweet hereafter. It’s a well-timed classic in our online-dating era, with options and indecisions galore. Though our suitors and wooers these days may no longer offer us a baby lamb or piano on first visit, the story’s questions of commitment to self and others are still compelling. Follow to the end of this twisting tale, and see why Hardy’s story has lasted so; the best tales, like the best loves, are the ones that endure. n independent.com

Pitch Perfect 2 (115 mins.; PG-13: innuendo and language)
Pitch Perfect 2 is the all-too-rare big, fat feminist hit: written and directed by women (Elizabeth Banks in her directing debut and 30 Rock scribe Kay Cannon) and features an ensemble of young women as its stars, who are neither objectified nor dependent on the men in their life. This is a story about women relying on each other and working together to win big. Unfortunately, the movie isn’t interested in its central conceit. There are a lot of side plots floating around, and though everything moves forward, very little connects. The plot problems could be forgiven if it weren’t for the movie’s other flaws: None of the leads seem comfortable in their roles, the musical numbers never reach the heights of the original, and the movie’s jokes often rely on casual racism, homophobia, and transphobia. It’s a watchable and often enjoyable movie, but there’s too much going against this film to give it a free pass. (KS) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

O Ex Machina
(108 mins.; R: graphic nudity, language, sexual references, and some violence)
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/Fiesta 5
OFurious 7 (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.

We are excited to be using Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (or L-PRF) therapy in our office now and have seen great results with it speeding up the recovery process for our surgical patients. What we do is take a small amount of blood from you and place it in our in-office centrifuge. Once the blood separates, we are left with a fibrin matrix that can be formed into any shape to fit the needs for your specific surgery. The presence of these platelets, white blood cells and proteins help jump start your body’s healing and clotting process. The best part is that there aren’t any foreign materials or chemicals involved-it all comes from you! This type of therapy can be useful in everything from extractions to grafting procedures. In addition to helping you recover faster, L-PRF virtually eliminates risk of having a dry socket and increases overall success of the surgery. If you are in need of dental surgery, please stop by the office and we would be happy to discuss the benefits of this procedure with you.

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. (KS)

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 (2D)/Metro 4 (2D and 3D)
O Cinderella (112 mins.; PG: mild thematic elements) This live-action film retells the classic fairy tale about a servant stepdaughter
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. (DJP) Fiesta 5 Hot Pursuit (87 mins.; PG-13: sexual content, violence, language, and some drug material) It’s hard to make a great movie from derivative beginnings, and this oddcouple female buddy crime comedy has “The Heat Copycat” written all over it. This is a shame, because the mismatched duo in question is Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara, an Academy Award winner and a television comedy juggernaut, respectively. They deserve better than a cheap imitation. There is a good film inside this second-rate movie. It’s just too bad that, this time, mediocrity won out. (KS) Fairview/Fiesta 5 The Salt of the Earth (110 mins.; PG-13: thematic material involving disturbing images of violence and human suffering, and nudity) This documentary follows the career of photographer Sebastião Salgado, who captured humanity and some of the most important world events in recent history. Now his lens is aimed at unmarred landscapes and wild plants and animals. Fiesta 5 Woman in Gold (109 mins.; PG-13: some thematic elements and brief strong language)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of may 21 ARIES
CANCER
LIBRA
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): James McNeill Whistler was an influential painter in the latter half of the 19th century. He advocated the “art for art’s sake” credo, insisting that the best art doesn’t need to teach or moralize. As far as he was concerned, its most important purpose was to bring forth “glorious harmony” from chaos. But the immediate reason I’m nominating him to be your patron saint for the coming weeks is the stylized signature he created: an elegant butterfly with a long tail that was actually a stinger. I think you’ll thrive by embodying that dual spirit: being graceful, sensitive, and harmonious and yet also feisty, piquant, and provocative. Can you manage that much paradox? I think you can.
(June 21-July 22): Do you chronically indulge in feelings of guilt? Do you berate yourself for the wrong turns and sad mistakes you made in the past? These behaviors may be sneaky ways of avoiding change. How can you summon enough energy to transform your life if you’re wallowing in worries and regrets? In presenting the possibility that you might be caught in this trap, I want you to know that I’m not sitting in judgment of you. Not at all. Like you, I’m a Cancerian, and I have periodically gotten bogged down in the very morass I’m warning you against. The bad news is that right now you are especially susceptible to falling under this spell. The good news is that right now you have extra power to break this spell.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Glory” is the theme song of the film Selma. It’s an anthem about the ongoing struggle for equal rights by African Americans. I want to borrow one of its lines for your use in the coming weeks: “Freedom is like a religion to us.” I think those will be good words for you to live by. Are you part of a group that suffers oppression and injustice? Are you mixed up in a situation that squashes your self-expression? Are you being squelched by the conditioned habits of your own unconscious mind? It’s high time to rebel. The quest for liberation should be your spiritual calling.
TAURUS
LEO
(Apr. 20-May 20): Renowned author George Bernard Shaw was secure in his feeling that he did good work. He didn’t need the recognition of others to validate his self-worth. The British Prime Minister offered him a knighthood, but he refused it. When he found out he had been awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature, he wanted to turn it down, but his wife convinced him to accept it. The English government also sought to give him the prestigious Order of Merit, but he rejected it, saying, “I have already conferred this order upon myself.” He’s your role model for right now, Taurus. Congratulate yourself for your successes, whether or not anyone else does.
(July 23-Aug. 22): In the TV comedy-drama Jane the Virgin, the fictional character known as Rogelio de la Vega is a vain but lovable actor who performs in telenovelas. “I’m very easy to dress,” he tells the wardrobe supervisor of a new show he’ll be working on. “Everything looks good on me. Except for peach. I don’t pop in peach.” What he means is that his charisma doesn’t radiate vividly when he’s wearing peachcolored clothes. Now I want to ask you, Leo: What don’t you pop in? I’m not simply talking about the color of clothes that enable you to shine but everything else, too. In the coming weeks, it’s crucial that you surround yourself with influences that make you pop.
GEMINI
VIRGO
(May 21-June 20): “Aha!” is your mantra for the coming weeks, Gemini. Keep it on the tip of your tongue, ready to unleash. This always-ready-to-be-surprisedby-inspiration attitude will train you to expect the arrival of wonders and marvels. And that will be an effective way to actually attract wonders and marvels! With “Aha!” as your talisman, all of your wake-up calls will be benevolent, and all of the chaos you encounter — or at least most of it — will be fertile.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Are you willing to entertain an outlandish possibility? Here’s my vision: You will soon be offered unexpected assistance, either through the machinations of a “guardian angel” or the messy blessings of a shape-shifting spirit. This divine intervention will make it possible for you to demolish a big, bad obstacle you’ve been trying to find a way around. Even if you have trouble believing in the literal factuality of my prophecy, here’s what I suspect: It will at least come true in a metaphorical sense — which is the truest kind of truth of all.
Homework: Choose one area of your life where you will exceed your personal best in the coming week. Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you’re planning on breaking a taboo, sneaking into a forbidden zone, or getting intimate with an edge-dweller, don’t tell boastful stories about what you’re doing. For now, secrecy is not only sexy; it’s a smart way to keep you safe and effective. Usually I’m fond of you telling the whole truth. I like it when you reveal the nuanced depths of your feelings. But right now I favor a more cautious approach to communication. Until your explorations have progressed further, I suggest that you only discuss them sparingly. As you put your experiments in motion, share the details on a need-to-know basis.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are many possible ways to create and manage a close relationship. Here’s one of my favorite models: when two independent, selfresponsible souls pledge to help each other activate the best versions of themselves. If you don’t have a partnership like this, the near future will be a favorable time to find one. And if you already do have an intimate alliance in which the two of you synergize each other’s quest for individuation, the coming weeks could bring you breathtaking breakthroughs.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a challenge to drive a car through Canada’s far north. For example, if you want to get
from Dawson in the Yukon Territory to Inuvik in the Northwest Territory, you take Dempster Highway. It’s gravel road for the entire 417-mile trip, so the ride is rough. Bring a spare tire and extra gasoline, since there’s just one service station along the way. On the plus side, the scenery is thrilling. The permafrost in the soil makes the trees grow in odd shapes, almost like they’re drunk. You can see caribou, wolverines, lynx, bears, and countless birds. Right now, the sun is up 20 hours every day. And the tundra? You’ve never seen anything like it. Even if you don’t make a trip like this, Capricorn, I’m guessing you will soon embark on a metaphorically similar version. With the right attitude and preparation, you will have fun and grow more courageous.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author James Joyce wrote Ulysses, one of the most celebrated and influential novels of the 20th century. The narrative is both experimental and tightly structured. Its chaotic streamof-consciousness passages are painstakingly crafted. (Anyone who wonders how the astrological sign of Aquarius can be jointly ruled by the rebellious planet Uranus and the disciplinarian planet Saturn need only examine this book for evidence.) Joyce claimed he labored over Ulysses for 20,000 hours. That’s the equivalent of devoting eight hours a day, 350 days a year, for over seven years. Will you ever work that hard and long on a project, Aquarius? If so, now would be an auspicious time to start.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The English writer and caricaturist Max Beerbohm moved away from his native land when he was 37 years old. He settled in Rapallo, Italy, where he lived for much of the rest of his life. Here’s the twist: When he died at age 83, he had still not learned to speak Italian. For 40 years, he used his native tongue in his foreign home. This is a failing you can’t afford to have in the coming months, Pisces. The old proverb “When in Rome, do as the Romans” has never been so important for you to observe.

Wine of the Week Two Lands Shiraz 2013: Australian shiraz has often been thought of as the Jayne Mansfield of wines — perhaps a bit much too much. So along comes this collaboration between Jacob’s Creek, Australia’s largest wine brand, and California’s Ehren Jordan, formerly the winemaker at Turley, where he made big zins, but now the owner of Failla, where he makes exquisitely balanced pinot noir, among other varietals. Despite clocking in at a mere 13.9% alcohol, this shiraz packs a structured fruit punch of berry flavor with solid spice undertones and some more developed dry fruit. The entire Two Lands collaboration (there’s also a cab, chard, and pinot grigio) is marketed only in the U.S., and at $13.99 suggested retail is a pleasing bargain for meal‑time wines. But this shiraz is the pick of the lot, a suggestion of what control can bring to big fruit. See jacobscreek.com/us/our-wines/two-lands.
