We dropped by our new arts editor’s office to get some caption information for this spot, but instead we found that Bruce the Dog, aka Mr. Wiggles, had taken over her desk and seemed a little uncertain over his elevation of status. When we finally caught up with Michelle Drown, who has moved from managing the Living section to handling A&E, she’d been out interviewing Santa Barbaran Jason Gedrick, who’s in the new TV series Bosch.

She wanted to know if we’d taught Bruce how to answer the phone yet.

Free Birds

Carted up from a Los Angeles care center, 10 pelicans nursed back to health after the Refugio spill oiled their bodies slowly stretched their wings as they waddled from their cages onto the sand at Goleta Beach on June 12. After a few minutes, the big birds took off into the ocean and gathered in a bunch about 100 yards offshore. Cheers came from wildlife experts, reporters, families, and UCSB grads gathered nearby. In the coming days, more of the 106 rescued birds and mammals will be released. Since the May — Tyler Hayden 19 rupture, 276 dead birds and mammals have been recovered. Officials say some likely died of natural causes.

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Five teens escaped Los Prietos Boys Camp on 6/14 but were quickly captured after they scaled a nearby hill in Santa Barbara’s backcountry. At approximately 3:45 p.m., a staff member at the minimum security facility for juveniles on probation called 9-1-1 to report the breakout. Numerous agencies responded, including a helicopter and K-9 unit. One teen was located within 30 minutes, and the other four were found near Aliso Trail at Sage Hill Campground by about 5:15 p.m. They were all taken to Santa Barbara County Juvenile Hall in Santa Maria.

A “compromised” lamp power cord is likely to blame for the house fire that killed 88-year-old Montecito resident Lorraine Schmerzler in April, authorities said. An investigation ruled out all other accidental and natural causes, and the cord found in the area where the fire started showed evidence of arcing, officials with the Montecito Fire Protection District explained. When responders arrived to Schmerzler’s home at 27 Loureyro Road, they found the house fully engulfed in flames. Schmerzler’s body was discovered just inside her front door. pau l wellm an

Pulling $53 53 Million Desal Trigger ‘We Have Exhausted All Other Options’

E

by N i c k W e l s h ven with unprecedented unanimity among meteorological experts that a powerful El Niño looms ahead, not one Santa Barbara city councilmember felt they could risk another year without rain. Backed into an ominously parched corner by the most intense drought in California’s recorded history—and with new deliveries from Lake Cachuma and the State Water Project effectively shut off —the council voted to reactivate the desalination plant it built 25 years ago as an emergency response to the last big drought. No sooner was that plant built than the South Coast was pummeled by the “Miracle March Rains,” and Santa Barbara’s desal facility has sat idle since.

That history was very much on the councilmembers’ minds as they approved spending nearly $4 million for a rebuilt and reengineered desalination plant that will eventually cost city ratepayers $53 million. “If Mother Nature wanted to tell us what her plans were, we’d all sleep easier,” lamented Mayor Helene Schneider,“but she doesn’t.”Water czar Joshua Haggmark likewise had little interest in betting whether the predicted El Niño would deliver relief needed to replenish South Coast reservoirs. In the six El Niños in recorded history, Haggmark told the council, only three brought above-average rainfall. “It’s still a significant

unknown,” he said. “We have exhausted all other options.”

The bad news is that the proposed desalination plant the councilmembers are now looking at will cost about $14 million more than they thought it would just a few months ago.

And that’s about $35 million more than it was projected to cost two years before that. (The plant originally cost $34 million to build.) The good news is that the State of California is offering to finance the whole enterprise with bargain basement interest rates of only 1.6 percent. Thanks to the low-interest loans, the annualized cost of building and operating the plant for five years is $7.3 million.

The consultant selected by City Hall to rebuild the facility is IDE Americas USA, whose parent company has been involved in the construction of 400 desalination plants in 40 countries, including the biggest one on the planet—in Israel—not to mention the biggest in the United States — in Carlsbad, California. One reason the costs jumped is that IDE wanted to build new structures rather than refurbishing existing ones. Company CEO Mark Lambert introduced himself to the council stating, “We’re here to help. It’s what we do. All we do is desalination.”

The plant will be built to produce 3,125 acre-feet of water a year, roughly 25 percent of what city residents consume. IDE got the

nod partially because of the “modularity” of its proposal. For an additional $20 million, the plant could be ratcheted up to 7,500 acre-feet.

And for a sum unknown, it could achieve a maximum capacity of 10,000 acre-feet a year.

When Santa Barbara secured crucial state permit renewals earlier this year, it was as a preexisting facility that would serve only city water customers. But now— now well before final designs have been drafted—the talk is shifting to running the plant as a regional facility. Tom Mosby of the Montecito Water District said he was assured by senior staff with the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the California Coastal Commission they’d prefer Santa Barbara’s facility operate regionally than see the Montecito district pursue its own desalination plant, as it currently is. There was an abundance of confusion displayed at Tuesday’s council meeting on how much of this would be acceptable with the city’s existing permits.

Kira Redmond of Channelkeeper raised pointed questions about the environmental analysis City Hall provided. She noted the 471page document was released only three business days before Tuesday’s council meeting and objected that the analysis was based on reports originally prepared in 1991 and 1994.

Given how much technology has evolved since, she said those reports finding no adverse cont’d page 12 

Special Olympics athlete Steve Glick ran the torch down State Street.

More than 80 Santa Barbara law-enforcement officers went above and beyond the call of duty on 6/10 when they helped run the Flame of Hope down the coast on its way to the Special Olympics Summer Games opening ceremony in Long Beach. Organized

by Sheriff’s Lt. Butch Arnoldi, runners came from the Santa Barbara Police Department, District Attorney’s Office, Probation Department, UCSB Police, California Highway Patrol, and California State Parks. The Law Enforcement Torch Run raised nearly $1.4 million last year. Thirty-five Santa Barbara Special Olympics athletes are competing in the Summer Games in Long Beach.

Sheriff Bill Brown released data last week showing crime was down by 9 percent overall from 2013 to 2014. The four murders committed by Nicolas Holzer and the six

by Elliot Rodger contributed to an unprecedented homicide rate in 2014, as the county usually averages zero to one murder per year. Violent crimes increased by 10 percent, but there was a reduction in rape, robberies, and motor-vehicle thefts. Nonviolent property crimes decreased by 12 percent. Brown

As far as gas stations go, the Barnsdall-Rio Grande building (pictured) in Goleta is a real beaut. At least it was 86 years ago.

Back then, and before it was abandoned in the early 1950s, the tiny depot’s stucco and tile, set between hand-carved molding, shone bright white and blue for customers puttering down the coast. Now the gas station is an abandoned and crumbling — but still proud — relic of a time not so long ago when Ellwood’s shores bristled with oil piers and Hollister Avenue was Highway 101.

A big question mark materialized in 2003 when Beanie Baby billionaire Ty Warner bought the Sandpiper Golf Course property on which it sits. Locals were worried he would tear the station down. This Thursday, to the delight of many, representatives with Ty Warner Hotels and Resorts announced during a press conference that the property is being turned over to the City of Goleta so that it can be restored and preserved. Councilmember Roger Aceves thanked Warner for his “generous contribution” and said he was “thrilled” with the outcome of their negotiations that dated back to 2009. “This is like no other,” Aceves said as he gestured at the station behind him. “It serves as an important gateway to Goleta.” The legal transfer should be completed by the end of the year. After that, historians will conduct an assessment of the 40-foot-tall, 500-square-foot station and develop a refurbishment plan.

Tom Modugno was there on Thursday for the announcement. He had led the charge to preserve the Ellwood landmark. “Obviously, I’m stoked,” he said of the news. Modugno has lived in that area of Goleta all his life, he explained, and he was inspired to save the station once he saw how the city is changing, “and maybe not for the better. … I could see it getting knocked down and turned into a strip mall if no one did anything about it.” Right across Hollister Avenue, construction is underway on the 101-unit Haskell’s Landing housing complex, and just down the road, more development has begun.

Modugno called Warner’s gift “unbelievable” and a “huge first step.” Now, he said, is when the real work starts. Modugno is cautiously optimistic that Goleta will devote the time and funds needed to restore the station to its former glory, but he said it could take a while for the project to jump through all the necessary hoops.

news briefs cont’d lauded his staff, adding that increases were also seen in calls for service (5 percent), jail bookings (3 percent), reports written (4 percent), and citations issued (10 percent).

The Santa Barbara Police Department and the Coalition Against Gun Violence hosted an anonymous gun buyback on 6/13 at which 207 firearms were turned in for Vons gift cards. Organizers collected 98 handguns, 86 rifles, 22 shotguns, and one assault weapon.

Free gun locks were also given away. During the city’s first gun buyback event last year, 239 firearms were collected.

cIty Sharon Byrne, long the public face of the Milpas Community Association but a downtown resident, announced she’s running for the Santa Barbara City Council this November to represent District 3, which includes most of what’s regarded as the Westside. Byrne will run against incumbent Councilmember Cathy Murillo, now completing her first term in office. Murillo and Byrne both ran four years ago, but then the elections were atlarge rather than by district. Only Murillo was elected. In the past four years, the two have differed on several issues, most recently over the proposed Eastside Business Improvement District, which Byrne has championed.

The half-cent sales tax that Santa Barbara City Hall insiders were sure would be on this November’s ballot won’t be happening, because there weren’t the five council votes needed to put the measure to voters. Councilmember Gregg Hart was the key swing vote, and he wouldn’t budge, even after Councilmember Cathy Murillo, his closest ally on the dais, implored him to do so. The proceeds of the sales tax hike — $10 million a year for $20 years — could be used to attack a massive backlog of unfunded infrastructure needs.

Hart objected that the measure did not earmark the additional revenues to infrastructure projects, meaning future councils could use the money as they saw fit.

cOunty A survey of 124 South Coast workers conducted by UCSB labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein found that wage rates remain stagnant even though unemployment rates have now dropped to a historic low of 4 percent. “That’s inexplicable in a theoretical sense,” Lichtenstein said. In four out of five job categories, Santa Barbara’s median hourly wages were lower than those of California in general, and many workers surveyed were subjected to “wage theft.” Roughly two-thirds of the workers Lichtenstein surveyed were Latino. Undocumented workers, he said, skewed the results. “If you’re undocumented, then everything is worse,” he said. cont’d page 12 

county Pleads camp 4 case in D.c.

Chumash tribal chair Vincent Armenta, County CEO Mona Miyasato, and Supervisor Steve Lavagnino flew to Washington, D.C., this week for a congressional subcommittee hearing on a federal bill that would allow the Chumash to annex a property known as Camp 4 as tribal land. HR 1157 is the second federal bill sponsored by Congressmember Doug LaMalfa — who represents a Northern California district — that would place Santa Barbara County CEO Mona Miyasato the 1,400-acre property into trust, bypassing the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) application currently tied up in an appeal.

Last week, the supervisors voted 3-2 to send CEO Miyasato to the hearing to represent the board after Supervisor Doreen Farr — whose district includes the Santa Ynez Valley — could not attend because of a family matter. On behalf of Supervisors Farr, Janet Wolf, and Peter Adam, Miyasato voiced opposition to the bill, contending federal action would short-circuit the county’s pending appeal of the BIA’s decision granting the annexation plans. The appeal was made on grounds of “substantial, negative impacts,” lost tax dollars, and a tribal need for a property 10 times larger than its existing reservation.

Supervisors Steve Lavagnino and Salud Carbajal have both called for county officials to negotiate with the tribe over its expansion plans as they do with other government entities. Lavagnino took a red-eye to D.C. to speak at the Wednesdaymorning hearing. “I should not be needed here today, and this piece of legislation should have never been necessary,” he said. But “protections [of human rights] are not afforded to the tribe. … I believe the tribe has thoroughly exhausted all avenues in search of reaching an agreement.”

Armenta argued that the tribe’s housing shortage warrants development on Camp 4. “We will eventually prevail on this issue,” he said. In an interview on Tuesday, Farr said, “It doesn’t seem right that anyone would try to undermine” the official county position, claiming county officials have tried but failed to negotiate with the tribe on three different occasions. Representative Lois Capps, a member of the natural resources committee that oversees the congressional subcommittee, opposed the bill and argued that the BIA process is still pending.

Subcommittee Chair Don Young voiced strong support for the tribe’s housing rights; he threatened to move the bill forward if Miyasato did not negotiate fur— Kelsey Brugger ther with the tribe.

homer simpson Moment?

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) found that operators at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in Avila Beach failed to comply with technical specifications when loading spent nuclear fuel into 19 storage casks. NRC spokesperson Lara Uselding said the casks do not pose a safety issue and that preliminary information indicates heat levels within them have not exceeded allowable maximums. Activists with Mothers for Peace questioned how so many of the dry storage tanks could have been loaded improperly.

Blair Jones, spokesperson for Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), said the specifications relating to spent-fuel loading are without technical basis. He noted that the company manufacturing the casks applied for — and received — a license amendment from the NRC in 2004 dispensing with such requirements. Even so, those requirements still apply to PG&E. Jones said the company would be seeking a similar amendment for Diablo Canyon. He also noted that it was PG&E that detected the problem and reported it to the NRC. He characterized the transgression as “administrative in nature, not safety related.” David Weisman, spokesperson for Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, said PG&E’s failure to comply with existing rules posed serious procedural concerns. “Who are the Homer Simpsons here?” he asked, referring to the hapless cartoon character who happens to work for a nuclear power plant. “This is a ‘D’oh!’ moment,” he added.

PG&E is licensed to operate 138 spent-fuel storage casks — 15-foot-tall concrete and steel structures eight feet in diameter weighing 360,000 pounds — designed to hold intensely hot radioactive material. Given initial concerns about the heat of spent-fuel rods, technical specifications were adopted about loading protocol to minimize the risk of internal melting and leakage.

SANDTRAPPED: Restaurateur Mario Medina urged the Parks and Recreation Commission, as well as Director Nancy Rapp (right), to rethink its management plan for Muni golf course.

Bogeys and Faults Outgoing Parks and Rec Leader Juggles Golf and Tennis Backlash

I

by k e i T h h a M M t would’ve been easy to argue that not a single soul inside City Hall’s chambers Monday night wanted the demise of Mulligans Café & Bar in any way, shape, or form. Regardless, an air of uncertainty remains over the future of the longstanding restaurant situated on Santa Barbara’s municipal golf course.

As play has dropped over the years, Muni, as it’s called, has dug deeply into its reserve funds, and city councilmembers are now weighing the pros and cons of handing over the reins to a private management company.

That bodes badly for Mulligans, especially in light of Monday’s Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation that elected leaders opt for a three-pronged approach that puts the links, pro shop, and restaurant under unified, outsourced management.

While a newly installed management company could conceivably re-up with Mulligans as Muni’s food and beverage concessionaire, it’s not a guarantee. With that question hanging in the air, Mulligans can only hurry up and wait—its contract with the city doesn’t expire until June 30, 2016, and between now and then, a July 28 City Council hearing and the November 3 citywide election promise to intensify the issue.

On paper, nobody— nobody including city bean counters — can contend that Mulligans is not a solid moneymaker. In fact, said owner Mario Medina, since he picked up the thenbankrupt eatery 23 years ago, it’s established a sales history that has only gone up, year after year. He’s projected to hit $1.6 million this year, he added, 10 percent of which goes to city coffers.

Beyond the numbers, Mulligans has become a home base for a community of golfers and non-golfers alike, a place of birthdays, wedding receptions, and fundraisers, according to tearful testimony at Monday night’s meeting. “I ask you to rethink this,” Medina said, addressing the commission.

“Are we sure there’s another [restaurateur] who can do what I’ve been doing?”

Medina and others — including some members of the Golf Advisory Committee —have encouraged the city to avoid comprehensive privatization and instead focus on the heart of Muni’s financial woes:the

fact that green fees haven’t been able to cover the cost of course maintenance. If anything, speakers urged, leave the restaurant and pro shop alone and get a handle on maintenance overhead.

In explaining why that option wasn’t endorsed, commissioners cited the fundamental goal of creating a “self-sustaining and synergistic golf experience” while maintaining policy control through a single contract, not two or three.

“We know that this is a difficult discussion,” Parks and Recreation Director Nancy Rapp told the crowd. “The fact that we have a full chamber here tonight is good— good a big public discussion.”

As Rapp closes in on retirement, her department’s endorsement of a privatized golf course isn’t the only issue ratcheting up the workload— workload and public backlash — until her August 7 departure. On Tuesday night, council chambers brimmed with tennis players concerned about the privately managed Las Positas Tennis Courts, situated on city property overseen by the Elings Park Foundation.

In the throes of the Great Recession five years ago, Parks and Recreation—hardest hit of all city departments—gave the foundation control of the tennis courts, which, like Muni’s links, were in the red financially.

Since then, say the courts’ original locals, the facility has become overpriced, underused, and, in the words of one speaker,“essentially a private club.”

Such sentiments take on new meaning these days, as Elings has started raising private monies for a $2.5 million facelift and endowment, which has already survived a few layers of architectural review and could possibly break ground next spring.

While none of the councilmembers had anything but praise for the foundation’s efforts across the greater 230-acre Elings Park, Cathy Murillo and Gregg Hart questioned the sustainability of the tennis program’s business model and a planned renovation that seems to be banking on the old motto,“If you build it, they will come.”

“I look at the trends of tennis, and I wish it was more popular,” Mayor Helene Schneider said in closing. n

Despite three years of work by planners to develop a new set of rules for building wineries in the county, the sentiment of vintners over the process remains largely unchanged. The new rules will hamper the ability for Santa Barbara’s wine country to expand and evolve, they say, thereby making it even tougher to compete in an already cutthroat global market. Meanwhile, some neighbors of wineries remain unsure whether the proposed rules will do enough to make sure traffic, drunk driving, and loud parties don’t become a regular part of their world. These concerns and more will be aired once again at an upcoming hearing. The hope is to have the new rules up for approval by the County Planning Commission this fall.

EDucAtIOn Brooks Institute, Santa Barbara’s 70-yearold private college of photography and communication arts, is now owned by Massachusetts-based gphomestay, a company that primarily facilitates host homes for international students. The new ownership “will allow us to grow our global presence,” said Brooks Interim President Toni Johnson. This is gphomestay’s first campus acquisition. Brooks Institute of Photography was owned by the Brooks family until 1999, when it was sold to Illinois-based Career Education Corporation (CEC). In 2002, CEC opened a satellite campus in Ventura, to which the school will completely migrate by September.

In a private-public partnership this fall, instructors from Crane Country Day School will train for a year at Dos Pueblos High School’s famed Engineering Academy (DPEA) before returning to their K-8 Montecito campus for the 2016 launch of its own state-of-the-art engineering program.

The recent turquoise hue (pictured) of the ocean off Santa Barbara’s shores is due to a bloom of chalk-producing phytoplankton called coccolithophore, scientists say. Paul Matson, a UCSB postdoctoral scientist, counted 5 million coccolithophore cells in just one liter of seawater. Researchers are curious why the milky waters have appeared now, and several working out of Dr. Debora Iglesias-Rodriguez’s lab at UCSB plan to study if the bloom is related to the Refugio Oil Spill. UCSB biologists say organisms like coccolithophores play an important role in removing carbon from the atmosphere.

nAtIOnAL In an uncharacteristic move, Congressmember Lois Capps broke with president Barack Obama and voted against two measures designed to give the president authority to fast-track a trade pact among 12 Pacific nations. The trade pact — for which Obama lobbied hard — has been vehemently opposed by the congressional Democratic leadership, labor unions, and environmental groups. They’ve charged the Trans-Pacific Partnership would succeed at the expense of environmental protections and American jobs. Capps spokesperson Chris Meagher said neither measure was in “the best of interests of the middle class or Central Coast.” n

impacts to the marine environment would be dismissed as “quackery” today. One study, she noted, erroneously assumed the desal plant’s intake valves would suck in 18 times less water than they actually will.

Redmond has unsuccessfully pushed City Hall to adopt more modern waterintake technology to minimize damage to microscopic aquatic life and larvae. When asked after the meeting if she intended to sue, Redmond said, “I don’t think so. But I wanted it read into the record that they’re not complying with the law.”

On the same day, the Goleta Water Board voted to adopt higher water rates in part to encourage more vigorous conservation and also to recoup the substantial loss in revenues such conservation generates. For the residential customers who cut back accordingly, average monthly water bills will remain about the same—$112. But

for farmers, who make up one percent of the customer population and account for 30 percent of all water sales, the rates will skyrocket from an average of $919 a month to $2,400. For those operating outside the urban envelope on the western edge of the valley, their bills go up even more, from $3,500 a month to $10,000. She called the matter a local issue. Nearly 80 farmers and two agricultural organizations weighed in against the rate hikes, arguing they would effectively end agriculture in the Goleta Valley.

Dave Matson of the Goleta Water District said the rates were necessary because agricultural use had increased in the past two years, and, he said, “There is only so much water left.” Matson said the district is trying to offset some of the economic pain by offering ag operators rebates for buying new, efficient irrigation systems. n

OIL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL: The real

mystery has never been what caused the Plains All American Pipeline rupture in the first place. It’s always been why it didn’t happen sooner and much worse. These are not the doom-n-gloom musings by someone given to apocalyptic dementia. Instead, this question is triggered by new documentation — at least to me — detailing chronic qualitycontrol problems that dogged construction of the All American Pipeline when it was first laid into the ground back in the 1980s. County records from that time show that 15 percent of the pipeline welds inspected during a threeday audit failed to meet minimum standards.

That’s a lot. When those three days were up, Celeron denied the pipeline experts hired by the county further access to welding records.

I stumbled onto this new information while exploring how and why Plains All American — more precisely, its predecessor Celeron/All American — came to be the one and only pipeline operator in Santa Barbara County to successfully challenge the county’s authority to oversee and regulate pipelineintegrity issues. Why, I wondered, did Celeron take the County of Santa Barbara to federal court when none of the other pipeline owners operating in Santa Barbara saw fit to do the same? Because Celeron prevailed in that showdown, pipeline safety inspections and enforcement for the All American line were relegated to an egregiously understaffed and underfunded federal safety agency — the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety

Administration (PHMSA), at which the top three executive leadership positions are now conspicuously vacant.

So what sparked the legal dispute that put PMHSA in the driver’s seat? Some blandly generic assertion of jurisdictional testosterone? It’s much more disturbing than that.

By 1986, county administrators had grown concerned about allegations of slipshod welding practices by the crews laying the pipeline.

Accordingly, the county hired a civil engineer who specialized in integrity audits of massive industrial projects, Richard K. Shogren.

For three days in November 1986, an engineer employed by Shogren, Carl Ward, met with Celeron metallurgical engineer Rick Hill in the company’s Bakersfield offices. They rummaged through four boxes of radiographs — X-ray images showing the complete circumference of a weld. In all, 58 radiographs were inspected, a small test sample of the 9,500 welds throughout All American’s 70-mile stretch of pipe. Of the 58, seven were of such poor quality no assessment could be made.

Of the 51 remaining, eight failed to meet the minimal standards established by the American Petroleum Institute. Of those eight, five failed to meet the minimal standards set by Celeron itself. No matter how Shogren did the math, only 60 percent of the welds inspected met minimum standards. Assuming the same proportions were manifest throughout the 70 miles of pipe running through the county, Shogren estimated there could be as many as 1,425 substandard welds. If the welds were assessed based on Celeron’s own standards, he concluded there could be as many as 900.

After the 58 radiographs were reviewed, Shogren reported his representative —Ward—was notified by Celeron reps that “no more film would be made available for review by county representatives and the audit effort was suspended.” By way of explanation, Shogren speculated, “We can only assume that the weldrejection rate was too high and that the construction schedule and budget were suffering.”

Shogren was also asked to provide his two cents’ worth on the construction and engineering work he witnessed by Celeron’s pipeline crew. He was underwhelmed in the extreme. He expressed surprise, for example, that Celeron’s original plans included no accompanying geohazard report even though the pipeline — as first proposed — would cut over two active fault lines and at “several major landslide areas.” At the time, Celeron project managers explained they’d address such problems as they encountered them.

Some significant changes were made and landslide areas avoided, Shogren conceded, but only by dint of strenuous effort. “Our field observations indicate a general lack of attention to good construction practice,” he wrote in one report. In another, he complained that Celeron construction practices “subverted” safe and sensible engineering and design decisions. Getting the project into compliance, he charged, “required a level of effort which should not have been required.”

Two important disclaimers: There’s no evidence at this time to indicate the pipeline rupture was caused by any of the problems articulated by Shogren. And Plains All American is not Celeron. But Plains, it

should be stressed, acquired a pipeline born of a corporate culture of pervasive and calculated carelessness. In response to Celeron’s desire to inoculate that culture from the prying intrusions of county safety inspectors, the county took Celeron to federal court. How exactly that process played out is something I’m still exploring. But we know the county lost and PHMSA — a federal agency notoriously underequipped in terms of staffing and clear regularity guidelines — wound up with oversight authority on matters of pipeline safety.

In 2002, Congress ordered PHMSA to begin studying the feasibility of more stringent standards for leak-detection equipment required of pipeline operators. Currently, PHMSA has no such standards at all. By contrast, the State of Alaska requires detection equipment sensitive enough to catch pipeline pressure drops of one percent over 90 minutes. In the State of Washington, it’s an 8 percent drop over 15 minutes. As of 2010, PHMSA had undertaken only the first step of a nine-step process required of any change in federal rules. That’s when it issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register. To date, the second step in that arduous process has not been initiated. As for automatic pipeline-shutoff-spill-containment technology — much ballyhooed in this paper — PHMSA agreed in 2000 to leave that decision up to the pipeline industry.

Given Celeron’s culture of negligence and PHMSA’s tradition of toothlessness, the question has never been “if ” and it hasn’t been “when.” It’s always been, “How bad?”

Kenneth A. Hendrickson 01/03/21 – 06/14/15

Kenneth A. Hendrickson went to be with the Lord, June 14, 2015.

He was born on January 3, 1921, in Bolivar, Missouri , to Mr. and Mrs. Wren P. Hendrickson, the youngest of seven children. Kenneth’s parents moved their family to Santa Barbara when he was seven, where he lived the remainder of his life.

Kenneth was an employee of Southern Counties Gas Company, now Sempre Energy, for thirty-five years.

Kenneth was very community-minded.

He was elected to the Isla Vista Sanitary District, now Goleta West Sanitary District. He was elected for forty-five years as a representative of the District.

Kenneth married Marceline Day on February 4, 1950, and they had five children, Kenneth W. Hendrickson, Karen Thomsen, Kathy Eyman, David Hendrickson, and Paul Hendrickson.

They also have six grandchildren, Sarah James, Robbie Eyman, Lisa Thomsen, Stephen Thomsen, Matthew Eyman, and Miranda Hendrickson, and two great grandchildren: Benjamin Thomsen, and Joella Eyman, and another great-grandchild that will be born November 2015. He is also survived by his two nieces, Jill McMillan and Shirley Ludwig; one nephew, Gordon Hendrickson; and numerous great nieces and nephews.

Kenneth was a member of the “Greatest Generation,” serving three years in the upper Assam River Valley, India, during World War II in the U.S. Army Air Corps.

A memorial mass will be held Saturday, June 27, 2015, at Saint Anthony’s Chapel, Garden Street Academy, 2300 Garden Street, Santa Barbara at 10am.

Lawrence Fredrick Scalise 4/23/33 – 06/12/15

dent of the state of Iowa, Larry and his wife, Molly, moved to Santa Barbara, California, in 2000.

He graduated from the University of Iowa Law School, receiving his L.L.B degree in 1958. The world would never be the same.

A fixture in the Iowa legal system for decades, Larry’s career as an attorney extended to all corners of the state and eventually the nation. His most prominent role was as Attorney General of Iowa from 1965-1967. One of the most important pieces of work during this time was to schedule Auto Safety Hearings as part of the National Highway Safety Act. This eventually led to the implementation of seat belts in every car.

Since the 1960s, Larry had been in private practice, becoming one of the state’s most prominent attorneys.

In 1995, Larry left Des Moines and accepted an assignment with the Federal Government becoming Deputy Independent Counsel in the matter of Henry Cisneros, the then-U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in Washington, D.C. He also served as a court-appointed mediator for the Superior Court of Santa Barbara, having become a certified mediator by the American Academy of ADR Attorneys in 2004.

Larry’s most impressive attribute was the way in which he influenced people’s lives for the better in the courtroom, at a party, and at home. His life was all about family, friends, and colleagues. He was a great adviser and mentor. His ability to make anyone he met feel like family was a true gift. His warmth and hospitality will long be remembered. His love of cooking, food, and wine were epic. There was always a place at his table for everyone.

In addition to his busy life practicing law, Larry was a devoted husband, brother, uncle, cousin, father, and grandfather. More than anything, family was most important. Larry is survived by his wife, Molly, (Murphy) Scalise, seven children and 15 grandchildren.

Special thanks to Dr. Jeffrey Kupperman, Dr. Alan Rosenblum, Dr. Jeffrey Sager, and all of the nurses involved in Larry’s care these last three months, as well as the staff at Cottage Hospital South 5, MICU, Rehabilitation Hospital and Alto Lucero Transitional Care.

A celebration of Larry’s life will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 1300 East Valley Road, Montecito, CA on Thursday, June 18th, at 11 am.

Richard Walton White 11/11/48 – 05/28/15

Lawrence Fredrick Scalise, surrounded by his loving family, peacefully passed away on June 12, 2015, at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara. He will be truly missed by all.

Larry was born to Mary and Albert Scalise on April 25, 1933 ,in Des Moines, Iowa. He was the younger brother of Teresa (Scalise) Lemus. A lifelong resi16

Richard Walton White was born on Armistice Day 1948 to Walton Alexander and Joan Audrey (Grover) White in Santa Barbara, California. He passed away suddenly on May 28, 2015, at his home in New Cuyama doing what he loved: working at his computer researching Mayan culture, history and lore. He is survived by his wife, Karen Hilts; daughter, Erika; son-in-law Scott and grandson Brett Peveto of Orange, Texas; step-daughter Jessy Adamson; and brother Charles White and family.

He will always be remembered for having a generous nature, being a stickler for detail, swapping puns, and being anxious to try out different ideas in Agronomy and Soils Science.

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 life long. 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-yourselfer 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 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 on Saturday, June 20th, 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 ASAP.

Albert Medwid M.D. 10/08/24 – 5/22/15

Dr. Albert Medwid passed away peacefully at Cottage Hospital on May 22, 2015, from complications following a stroke.

He was born to John and Katherine Medwid on October 8, 1924, in Pittsburgh, PA, where he attended South Side High School, and graduated as valedictorian of his senior class.

After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School he started his surgical training with two years at Northwestern University’s Wesley Memorial Hospital in Chicago, followed by a 4-year residency in surgical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

It was on a TWA flight out of Chicago that he met a flight attendant, Donna Plummer, who would become his wife of 60 years.

Al will be remembered for his unfailing devotion to his patients and love for his family and friends, as well as his enthusiasm for the game of squash, his kind and cheerful nature and his great appreciation for the privilege of living in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara.

After 40 years of practicing surgery, he began a new career as a businessman after designing and patenting medical devices to be used in surgery. After persuading his son, Bob, to join him, the business expanded and the products are now sold to surgeons worldwide.

Al’s family remembers his unfailing ability to answer middle-of-the-night phone calls on the first ring and to perform surgery at all hours without complaint. He often spoke of his admiration for the great courage displayed by patients facing major surgeries.

His patients were his first priority, but dinner with his family was a priority also, and he preferred to return to the hospital later in the evening than to miss the family dinner.

To his children he modeled excellence in all aspects of his life, both personal and professional, and to his grandchildren he was a loving Papa.

In later years, he often encountered former patients who thanked him for having added years to their lives, and occasionally displayed their scars to remind him.

He was predeceased by his parents and four siblings, Dr. Michael Medwid, Natalie Medwid, Magdalene Campbell and Amelia Bracken.

He leaves behind his devoted wife, Donna, and loving children, Bob, Jill and Lisa, son-in-law Glen Lewis and his four adored grandchildren, Laura and Daniel Lewis, Marina and Madison Medwid, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Donations in his memory may be made to El Montecito Presbyterian Church or the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission.

Services will be held Saturday June 27, 2015, at the El Montecito Presbyterian Church, 1455 East Valley Road, Santa Barbara at 2pm with a reception to follow.

Resentencing Injustice

I

am at my wit’s end with the injustice regarding my son’s Proposition 47 resentencing. He originally was given a six-year felony sentence for possession, plus two years for taking drugs into jail, which is a felony. When Prop. 47 passed, we were hopeful his time would be reduced. I hired an attorney who said my son qualified, but the complex sentencing rules meant extra negotiations and court appearances. Because the court misplaced or misfiled it, our attorney had to hand-carry the order to bring my son up from prison from the clerk to the judge, then from the judge to the transport officer.

When my son came out of state prison, he was left in Los Angeles County jail for four days in a holding cell in general population with no bed. My son was beaten and brutalized and literally tortured with sleep deprivation, and our attorney played delivery boy for the court for three days and appeared three times; we were all in court so they could “negotiate” in chambers.

The sentencing rules give the DA a chance to bump the two-year added sentence to eight years. The judge is acting as a bystander and expects us to come to some mutual resolution with the DA. The only option the DA was willing to consider was Delancey Street Residential treatment center. My son was denied acceptance there when he was originally sentenced because he wasn’t a hardened-enough criminal “yet.”

He’s in Santa Barbara jail waiting for an interview from someone from Delancey Street.

Is this how all of California is handling the Prop.

47 cases? Is this the intended result of Prop. 47? Am I unjustified in being outraged? — Curtis Thornton, S.B.

For the Record

¶ After we went to press last week, two shows rescheduled their dates. King Sunny Adé moved to July 17 at the Lobero Theatre. And Vicki Lawrence’s Two-Woman Show will now be on January 10, 2016, at the Granada Theatre. ¶ Back in 1941, when he was too young to join up and fight in World War II, Bob Carlson was a member of Santa Barbara’s fire patrol and spent the summer in the cabin in Madulce that we wrote about in last week’s Blue & Green Guide. He tells us it was most definitely in the flats, not on the peak. We stand corrected. Also, we forgot to include Aquasports in the guide, which has been leading kayaking trips to the Channel Islands for 27 years. See islandkayaking.com or call (800) 773-2309. ¶ And back on May 14, we listed the wrong end date for We Remember Them showing at UCSB’s Red Barn.

The Isla Vista memorial show runs through June 20.

Summer Days and Nights Fun Things to Do In (and Out of) the Sun

Santa Barbara isn’t just pretty beaches — it’s also a Central Coast cultural mecca. In fact, July-August sees this city flourish with heaps of things to do — Solstice and Old Spanish Days, to name two biggies, but there is also a nice pastiche of arts happenings. Read on for an introduction to one of this year’s Solstice artists-in-residence as well as Indy critics’ picks of the pop, rock, jazz, classical music, theater, dance, visual art, and films you won’t want to miss. ➤➤➤➤➤➤

Homecoming, with Giant Insects

T

inika Ossman-Steier (pictured above) was busy working on a giant insect ensemble for this year’s Solstice Parade as she remembered the pangs and joys of the event’s birth from way up inside her creation. For those too new to remember, the time was 1974, and the place was a building on the corner of State and Ortega streets (now the Fithian Building), which was a warren, a home, a coven of performance artists who haunted thrift stores for inspiration and lived to celebrate. At first, Solstice was conceived as a birthday party for artist/ mime Michael Gonzales, but it became a gaudy excuse to greet summer’s freedoms.

“It was the Park Theater then,” said Ossman-Steier, a current festival artist in residence, who was drawn into the free-spirited throng, though she lived up past the Mission in those days.“There still was a theater there, and it was Mime Caravan and [parade founder] Michael Gonzales and [his partner] John Burnett who showed us slides — that’s what we used to do back then, look at slides,” she laughed. “And it was pictures of what Michael wanted [the party to be like], pictures of Mardi Gras and Carnaval down in South America. This was the introduction to the parade.

“We didn’t talk about being pagans back then, but that’s what it was, pagan with a lot of creativity and no politics, and no words and no dogs,” Ossman-Steier continued over lunch recently at Jill’s Place, around the corner from the current Solstice HQ and not far from the old Park Theater.

“I think they made me in charge of banners.”

Tinika Ossman-Steier had a different name in those days;

she was Tiny Ossman, better known as the woman who brought belly dancing to Santa Barbara via the Plaka (a Greek taverna also gone). On Sunday nights on KTYD, she hosted a pre–World War II music radio show with her then-spouse, David Ossman, a poo-bah of the Los Angeles– based comedy troupe Firesign Theatre, and their Mission Canyon home was famed for counterculture gatherings like the mostly notorious Fellini Party (Tiny came as a Hudson hood ornament.)

Ossman-Steier on her own kept busy as an Ensemble Theatre costumer and coordinator of the city’s first arts festival.“I was hired to introduce the community to its own cultural wealth,” she said. After she left Santa Barbara (and David) in the late 1970s, Tiny (born Maria Veronica Rosza) became the more formal-sounding Tinika when bosses at her Smithsonian Institution job pressured her to drop the diminutive nickname. It was while attending the 1980 International Conference on Celebrations that she first realized her lifelong drive: “Who knew I was a celebration artist?” she said. Until last year, Ossman-Steier coordinated an ecological/ educational/celebrational All Species Festivals in her current hometown, Cottage Grove, Oregon.

But she didn’t come back to Santa Barbra to run anything; Ossman-Steier returned to Solstice to work on a performance piece (she’s also a fabric artist and, as she put it, a junk sculptor), fitting her big bugs into the parade’s ScienceFiction theme. “You know that District 9 movie? That’s the idea,” she explained. “I called the Solstice people up and asked them if I could just come and be a resident artist.” She thinks maybe old friends on the board put in a good word, but it’s clear from her space in the workshop that she still fit in perfectly, even without the banners.

“It’s a lot different than my day, Solstice. The scale is bigger now, and sadly, I don’t see a lot of my old friends. And three days in the park, wow. But the other day, I saw a woman come running in and give a choice piece of cardboard she found to someone else. That part is the same. The creativity and the camaraderie are great. I’m fortunate to be here,” she n said,“surrounded by all these wonderful people.”

When Hungarian painter László MoholyNagy resigned from the Bauhaus in 1928, he also stopped painting. Confronting a world on the brink of madness from his studio in Berlin, he chose for a time to explore the creative options presented to him by new technologies instead and began to work in a wide range of new media simultaneously,

from photography and motion pictures to theatrical lighting devices and even molded plastic. But before too long, and despite his concern about its seemingly tenuous hold on relevance, painting called the artist back and became a way for him to think about and to create the shape of things to come.

Marilyn Horne

On Wednesday, June 24, admission to the Music Academy of the West’s Hahn, Weinman, and Lehmann halls will be free from morning until night so that anyone interested in what happens at the academy’s beautiful Miraflores campus can spend a day of discovery there. The programming begins with a special treat when Maestro Larry Rachleff rehearses the Academy Festival Orchestra at Hahn Hall at 11 a.m. They will be preparing Ravel’s Boléro, one of the best loved and most recognizable pieces of music ever written, and the rich sound of a full orchestra in the intimate confines of Hahn Hall is unforgettable. Five free master classes follow, including Marilyn Horne’s vocal class at 3:15 p.m., which is considered one of the crowning glories of this world-renowned program. At 6 p.m. comes the day’s closing event, which is not a rehearsal or a master class but rather a true concert presented by the fellows of the academy’s string quartet program.

MArTIn GOre deeJAy SeT at SOHO reSTAurAnT & MuSIC CluB Saturday, June 27

Twenty years ago, SOhO opened its doors and has since consistently hosted some of the best live shows this town has seen. To celebrate two decades in the business, the music venue has enlisted the deejay talents of none other than Martin Gore, the chief songwriter and keyboardist of electronic megaband Depeche Mode. One of the biggest—and best—acts to rise out of the glamorous, wildly coiffed new wave scene of the ’80s, Depeche Mode made music that was both darkly danceable and politically powerful, thanks in large part to Gore’s lyricism. From a man who invented classics as massive as “Enjoy the Silence,” “Personal Jesus,” and “I Feel You,” it’s sure to be an unforgettable set. Proceeds of the night’s event help toward funding essential maintenance costs for the club to expand and refurbish its facilities. A music legend spinning to help out a great and veteran club—it’s the not-to-miss deejay night of the summer.

on STATe And COTA STreeTS Saturday, June 20 When David Bowie and Mick Jagger made the video for their 1985 cover of “Dancing in the Street,” they should have called upon Santa Barbara’s Solstice participants for help. Year after year, the groups sashaying up State Street during the Saturday parade demonstrate some of the most original, lively, and colorful choreography ever seen en masse downtown. Brazilian samba— samba which is a symbol of that country’s national identity— identity dancers always put on a great show, with their vibrant-hued costumes and exciting

movements, and this time will be no dif different, as many of the same troupes will be participating, including Mariano Silva’s Samba de Bahia and Sambahia. Other troupes are La Bohème Dance Company, Cosmic Queens, Brigitte Guehr and her belly dancing troup, and Pali-X-Mano’s Solar Flying Saucer and dance ensemble.

This year’s theme is Sci-Fi, so costumes are sure to be out of this world. Solstice takes place Friday-Sunday, June 19-21, at Alameda Park and throughout downtown.

Handmade Asian Art on Ortega Street

N

ewlyweds Jun Shi and Yitong Zhao don’t run your typical Santa Barbara business. Tucked in the corner of Ortega and Anacapa is Miss T, the couple’s Asian-inspired jewelry store that sells handmade embroidery, paintings, crystals, and gemstone jewelry.

Combining Shi’s love of painting and designing with Zhao’s skill of embroidery, Miss T opened shop in January, four years after the couple left homeland China. Together they offer an alternative to the usual shopping options of State Street.

“We try to select all the things popular in Asia, and we try to bring the traditional things, the real things,” Shi said. “We want to bring something new; we don’t want to follow. Most of the stuff— stuff 70 or 80 percent— only we have it.” percent Done in the same style as antique embroidery, Zhao’s needlepoint work often takes months for her to complete. One embroidery design replicates a scenic Asian village surrounded by waterfalls, with Zhao’s needlepoint capturing every title of each home in detail, and drops of water going over the edge of cliffs are seen in plain sight.

Zhao was taught to embroider by her mother, and Shi learned the skill of handmade jewelry from his uncle. Shi handcrafts all the gemstone jewelry found in his store. He begins the process of making a pendant first by measuring crystal string and methodically aligning gemstones and beads into the string, eyeing it so that colors correspond on each side.

Miss T takes its name from Yitong’s nicknames “Tingting” and “Tong,” and also for Shi’s natural affection for her. The two have known each other since they were 7 years old, growing up in Shenyang. They lost touch with one another in high school, and, in 2006, Shi left China to study business administration and took graphic design courses at Santa Barbara City College. Zhao also left China to pursue her education — and her boyfriend at the time — in Denmark.

Coincidently, the two returned to China five years later and reunited. Three months was all it took for Shi to charm Zhao into following him to Santa Barbara. The couple tied the knot in April.

Although they just started their business, they emphasize delivering quality at an affordable price. “We just want to let people know our stuff is not super expensive and that we have good quality stuff,” Shi said. “That’s the reason we do this, and we want to give something new to Santa Barbara.”

VitaExplorer

Greens Your Vacation What if a tree grew for every time you traveled? That’s the idea behind VitaExplorer, a new digital trip planner designed by Vita Travel Store owner Greg Bellowe. The eco-conscious app, launched this year in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy, is designed to offset the carbon emissions produced by traveling.

Simply log the details of an upcoming trip into vitaexplorer.com, which calculates an average carbon footprint, then offsets the emissions with a monetary donation, which Vita Travel matches, toward The Nature Conservancy’s planting of trees. The more miles traveled, the more trees planted.

Bellowe introduced his company’s invite-only app with a sweepstakes through this past Memorial Day, where users had the chance to win a three-day hybrid car rental, a two-night stay in a four-star hotel, luggage, dinner for two, and a solar backpack. He envisions similar incentives down the road for VitaExplorers and hopes his invention will help green an industry that’s been slow to catch up with global trends. With thousands of eco-friendly hotels and activities already inventoried, VitaExplorer could very well be the tool that helps to speed things up.

“Beautifully intricate,” Treebeard writes of the latter, “like little origami boxes.”

That’s the poet in him. The images are beautiful, but each comes with a caption that’s explanatory and often lovely. He presents the scientific and common names, fascinating facts and observations, and journal-like comments about the day, all shared with eloquence and clarity. A wasp perches for a moment on a mint leaf in the garden, a tiny green aphid resembles stained glass against the backlit banner of a sweet pea flower, a spider snuggles into the fold of an old native wild blackberry plant.

Worrisome changes loom, globally and locally. Around here, it’s been too dry, eerily warm, seasons askew, repercussions yet unknown. But there’s so much life happening, so many miraculous things unfolding, and while some folks look up at the heavens and ponder distant galaxies, Treebeard explores a different infinity. He peers into the microcosmos — observing, recording, and sharing— sharing bearing witness to the natural world, mysterious, endangered, and striving to continue.

“For all we know, some of this may be happening for the last time,” he mused, hoping that’s not true, “but I’m documenting as much as I can.”

Lou Ann Smith’s Quilts Go National

L

ou Ann Smith recently returned home from the Quilt National 2015 at the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Ohio, where her beautiful abstract quilt known as “Leaf 2” was one of just 86 quilts selected for the annual exhibition out of nearly 1,000 submissions.

It was the first stop for “Leaf 2” on what will be a two-year journey through galleries and museums across the country.

“Massive oak trees on a Louisiana plantation inspired my Live Oaks series,” Smith explained of her initial inspiration. “I started with an image of the whole tree and tried to make that more and more abstract, until I ended up with some leaf forms. My journey from the grand and massive tree down to the small but equally fascinating leaf launched me into a satisfying exploration of simplified curves and shapes, and into a new Leaf series.”

Smith graduated from UCSB in 1993 with a studio art degree and an emphasis in painting, but she didn’t discover her love for quilting until she attended her first meeting at the Coastal Quilters Guild of Santa Barbara and Goleta. “I found that you can basically create anything with fabric,” she said. “I started playing around and creating art quilts after that.”

The Coastal Quilters Guild’s roughly 200 members meet monthly to discuss upcoming events and exhibits, donate quilts to charity, do a show-and-tell of their quilts, and listen to a guest speaker. “Everyone uses fabric, color, and design

arc Kummel, often known as Treebeard, is a man with a mission, quietly immersed in an ongoing labor of love throughout the Santa Barbara backcountry. A naturalist, musician, and general Renaissance man, Treebeard led groups at the Outdoor School near Lake Cachuma 40 years before teaching at Dunn Middle School in Los Olivos, where his science classes involved fire and philosophy in equal parts. My favorite lesson demonstrated that the probability of everything happening exactly as it is in any given moment is one over infinity, i.e. zero. “Absolutely impossible,” he said. “Yet here we are.”

Treebeard retired a few years back, but his genuine curiosity endured, and he’s become a chronicler of wonder, diligently documenting the remarkable things he beholds. Venturing daily into the chaparral, oak woodland, and riparian forests of BEARDED WONDER: Marc “Treebeard” Kummel studies the nature of the Los the Los Padres National Forest, he zooms Padres backcountry, posting photos of species like this American painted lady into an often unseen universe of insects butterfly on his website. and plants, recording these for posterity in an extraordinary online archive of photographs and narrative.

differently, and it’s always interesting to see what people are working on,” said Smith, who also belongs to two other quilting groups: Fibervision and ab-strakt-ed.

Fibervision promotes quilting as an art and is limited to 25 active members by invitation only. Smith and the Fibervision group are exhibiting their work at the Cabrillo Pavillion Arts Center until June 29. Ab-strakt-ed is a smaller group of four women who get together to dye fabrics and attend the annual Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in Oregon, the largest outdoor quilt show in the world. Smith, Maren Johnston, Debra Blake, and Patty Six each create stunning abstract art quilts, which can be viewed at abstrakted.org.

Those groups have collectively helped Smith keep a steady focus on quality, shining a little light on the Santa Barbara scene as a whole. Said Smith of the community, “Quilters tend to be really supportive.”

Can Mia Fisher Turn Gaucho Hoops Around?

Former UCSB Star Hired as Assistant by New Women’s Coach Bonnie Henrickson

M

paul wellman

by John Zant ia Fisher had a smile on her face and a

diploma in her hand at UCSB’s graduation ceremonies in 2005. In her four years as a student and a Gaucho basketball player, she had made thousands of smiles light up in the Thunderdome. Now, a decade later, she has returned to her alma mater with that indelible smile of her own, along with hopes that she can again help put happy faces in the stands.

New head coach Bonnie Henrickson made a good impression on longtime Gaucho fans by hiring Fisher as an assistant coach last month. “Mia brings energy, passion, and people skills to the table,” Henrickson said. “She makes people feel comfortable instantly. I chuckle when I see her in action. It’s a gift.”

Fisher seemed destined for this development from the time she went out into the world from Santa Barbara. She played for eight years on professional teams in Belgium, Bosnia, France, and Turkey. “I made lifelong friends,” she said. “I majored in sociology, and I learned how to understand cultural norms. Meeting people face-to-face is different from watching TV.” After her last year overseas, Fisher said, “I was ready for the next phase. I emailed Tara VanDerveer about becoming an intern at Stanford. I wanted to learn from the best in the profession.” She got the job assisting VanDerveer’s coaching staff and went with the Cardinal to the 2014 Women’s Final Four.

Fisher landed a full-time assistant’s position at San Jose State a year ago. “We did great,” she said. “We went to the Mountain West Conference semifinals, the best they’d ever done.” San Jose was close to her home and to the nondenominational church her parents, Alfred and Myrtle Fisher, had founded in Oakland. There were few opportunities that could lure Fisher away.

“When Bonnie reached out, I was pretty surprised,” she said. “I definitely wanted to take a look. Bonnie was very direct in describing her vision. She understands the tradition here. She knew I was a part of an important time in the UCSB program. She said, ‘Mia, you talked the talk and walked the walk. You know what it takes to be a Gaucho.’ I want to give back to what the program has given me. I want to inspire young women to be great individuals.”

Fisher, an all-state player from Amador Valley High in the East Bay, was one of a triple crown of Gaucho recruits — along with Kristen Mann and Brandy Richardson — who led the Gaucho women to 101 victories in four years and went to four consecutive NCAA tournaments, reaching the Sweet 16 in 2004. A master of the midrange jumper, Fisher is the most accurate shooting guard (52.3%) in UCSB and Big West Conference history.

John Zant’s

Carpinteria High’s Ralph Wood, who won the 880-yard state title in 1935, tying the existing record in a time of 1:57.6.

Also, I did not supply a complete list of the state champs.

Add these two names: Santa Barbara High’s Bob Looney, who won the pole vault in 1959, and Cate School’s Tracye Lawyer, the girls’ high jump champ in 1993.

FANTASTIC 10: There have been numerous books written

FAMILIAR FACE: UCSB’s new head women’s basketball coach, Bonnie Henrickson (left), tapped former Gaucho star Mia Fisher (right) to be an assistant head coach. Together, they hope to turn the team around from the recent, dismal 2-27 season.

“Mia was crazy good our senior year,” said Mann, who has continued to play in Europe. “She missed two shots in the whole conference tournament. It was insane. They gave me the MVP award, but she should have gotten it without a doubt.” Fisher’s personality should suit her well in coaching and recruiting, Mann added.“She has a good vibe. She should be able to connect well with players.”

Henrickson and her staff — also including Evan Unrau, a veteran West Coast assistant, and Drew Markowitz, who came with the head coach from Kansas — face a daunting challenge of rebuilding the Gaucho women’s program from last season’s plunge to a 2-27 record. “It’s been done before,” Fisher said. “If you’re a Gaucho, you have to fight.”

A FULL DOZEN: I wrote last week that San Marcos High’s 800-meter sensation Erica Schroeder was the 11th Santa Barbara area athlete to win a state track-and-field championship. Make that the 12th. I overlooked the very first,

GaMe of the Week

This game will pit the Foresters, perennial California Collegiate League champions, against one of their strongest league rivals from Ventura County. After taking two of three from the So Cal Catch last weekend, the Foresters are 10-2 overall and 5-2 in the CCL. They will host the South Coast Saints in a nonleague series this weekend. 5pm.

about baseball cards. Most are mundane volumes about collecting and trading them, but there also is a series of juvenile adventures in which a boy is magically transported through his cards back to the eras of various famous players. Santa Barbara author Ken Berris puts another imaginative twist on the subject in his novel Wild Cards. It is about a boy who has 10 cards that miraculously materialize into legendary players, each at the peak of his career. They form a team, the Wild Cards, that will play the Major League All-Stars in a showdown between the beatified past and the complicated present.

Berris chooses an interesting assortment of players to bring back to life: Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Christy Mathewson, Ted Williams, Roberto Clemente, Jim Thorpe, Jackie Robinson, Josh Gibson, and Satchel Paige. Each of their stories, marked by a hardship of one sort or another, is retold in chapters throughout the book.

Wild Cards is drenched with ruminations about mortality, religion, spirituality, and the possibility of a bodily afterlife. In their temporary reincarnation, the baseball legends wax eloquent about the meaning of life. “The only real reason for living,” Robinson says, “is to help make the universe better.” Cobb, who had a reputation as a racist, has an initially brittle relationship with his black teammates and Thorpe, a Native American, but even he comes around. “We are now rebuilt from scratch for a higher purpose,” he says.

There are some villains in the book, and Cobb’s bellicosity comes in handy as a way to deal with them.

Berris will appear at a book-signing at Chaucer’s Books (3321 State St.) at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24.

QUARTERS AND CLOCKS: Among the changes in college

basketball rules recently approved by the NCAA, the women’s game will comprise four 10-minute quarters instead of 20-minute halves starting next season. “That will create more excitement,” Henrickson pointed out. “We’ll have twice as many opportunities for a shot at the buzzer.”

The most significant change in the men’s game is the reduction of the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30. “I’m a huge fan of it,” Gaucho men’s coach Bob Williams said.

“It speeds up the game. We used it in the CBI [the College Basketball Invitational postseason tournament], and avern age scoring went up six points a game.”

ArmAAdA Arm dA’s Old WOrld rld Trea TreaTs

S

by Matt kettMann

tumbling upon Armada Wine & Beer Merchant (1129-A State St.; 770-5912; armadasantabarbara .com) is like discovering a secret Old World tavern.

Tucked into a back corner of San Marcos Plaza, it’s a reliable escape from the bustle of State Street or the hustle of your downtown office, yet steadily buzzing inside with friends who work and live in the neighborhood. There’s plenty of Central Coast wine and beer to be had, but it’s also an ideal place to educate your palate by trying a new wine from Europe.

A major reason why Armada’s Santa Barbara–born sommelier Carlos Mascherin, who can rattle off a stunning amount of history and technique behind each grape and bottle.“How adventurous are you feeling today?” he’s known to ask his customers. If you answer “very,” this is what you might get.

Riva Leone Gavi 2013: Fresh and light yet complex with

tight melon and white florals, this Piedmont white wine is good to pair with calamari or shellfish, Mascherin suggests, explaining, “I think of it as a sauvignon blanc without the green pyrazine note.”

Fonterutoli Chianti Classico 2011: Lush, smoky,

and attention-grabbing, this is not the dusty sangiovese blends of yesteryear, evidence of Italy’s modernist movement. “There’s a real resurgence of producers trying to take sangiovese back to its roots and put it in the center stage,” said Mascherin, who showcased this wine a while back during one of the quarterly wine dinners offered, which explore varietal expressions from around the world.

GOOD CRABBY: Spider crabs and other crustaceans are a highlight inside the S.B. Shellfish Company at the end of Stearns Wharf.

PROFESSOR SOMM: Get educated while sipping on wine from the Old World and New with sommelier Carlos Mascherin, who’s got plenty of background on the wines he pours at Armada.

Zlatan Crljenak Kastelanski ˘ 2010: Rich with red

and purple fruits but with bright minerality and firm tannins, this Croatian grape, grown on the island of Hvar, is the true root of what we Californians call zinfandel (and what Italians call primitivo and what UC-Davis-professor-turnedwinemaker Carole Meredith is now bottling as tribidrag). It’s a fascinating wine to sip while listening to Mascherin detail the decades-long search for the popular grape’s origins. n

Shellfish Company’s Fresh Fish and Fine Views

O

nly a handful of Santa Barbara res-

taurants can claim oceanfront dining.

Fewer still can say they’re truly over the water. Farthest out to sea, though, is an authentic little crab shack with some of the best views—and best fresh seafood—in town.

Located near the end of Stearns Wharf, the Santa Barbara Shellfish Company started out in 1980 as a buying and selling station for regional fish and shellfish. Over the years, owner Tom White built his menu with recipes from hometown and traveling fishermen, highlighting both year-round and fluctuating favorites. (White’s restaurant empire now also includes the FisHouse, Boathouse, and Casa Blanca.)

Inside at the bar or outside at one of the coveted booths, patrons can crack rock crab all year, while seasonally enjoying California spiny lobster (October-March), California king crab (spring and summer), and ridgeback shrimp (NovemberMay). Another favorite comes from neighbors to the north—Morro Bay’s Dungeness crab—while Maine lobster tacos and cioppino mixed with Mediterranean mussels and manila clams rounds out a fairly substantial menu, all of which can be washed down with half a dozen beers on tap or a bouquet of local and imported wines.

As for atmosphere?

“I feel like I’m at sea on an old galleon, drinking beer and cracking crab,” says Kirk Schmidt, who typically grabs a meal at Shellfish whenever he’s in town visiting his folks. While Schmidt favors an outside seat with harbor views and an ocean breeze, those inside can enjoy the “organized chaos” of the open kitchen, says General Manager Sean Johnson.

“Patrons feel like they are really part of it all,” he explained, as they watch cooks pluck live crab, lobster, and locally farmed red abalone from a wall of saltwater tanks before prepping, cooking, and plating their meals in full view.

Restaurant fare doesn’t get much fresher than that.

bowl of New England clam chowder — that cream-based comfort soup best served with oyster crackers or toasted sourdough — is as ubiquitous as it is delicious. But a bowl of Manhattan clam chowder — New England’s tomato-based cousin of Portuguese descent — is a menu rarity, at least in this town.

While most seafood fans order its white chowder, Enterprise Fish Company’s red recipe has long been a sleeper hit, with in-house origins dating back to 1990. That’s when California voters approved Proposition 132, an initiated constitutional amendment banning gill nets within three miles of the coast. With it, Enterprise’s traditional tomato-broth fish stew lost affordable access to nearshore rockfish and angel shark.

But not all was lost. Creative cooks swapped out those two prime ingredients for clams, while stirring in bigger handfuls

or the past four decades, the Isla Vista Food Cooperative (6575 Seville Rd., islavistafoodcoop.blog spot.com) has been an anchor of fresh and regionally sourced health food for the surrounding community. But that’s just what meets the eye when the sliding doors open, says General Manager Melissa Cohen, who’s worked at the 3,500-square-foot building in the heart of the college town for a dozen years.“The grocery store is the vehicle for the community work we do,” she explained.

From composting workshops to bilingual nutrition education for grade-schoolers, the store focuses on food security — that everybody should have access to healthy food. In that respect, the co-op’s Back to Basics initiative sells household staples priced just above wholesale. (Bargain-shoppers, I challenge you to find better deals on organic peanut butter.)

Membership isn’t required to enjoy the coop’s bounty, which always includes seasonal fruits and vegetables from Santa Barbara farmers. Everybody can shop there, and anybody can be a member, reminds Cohen, the benefits of which include a discount at the register and the assurance that your membership money stays in Isla Vista, fully refundable whenever you opt out. Volunteers get discounts, too, mostly for stocking shelves and tabling at events.

The little grocery store in Isla Vista can also teach young people how to work in a real world of retail, accounting, and management.

Plus, it’s a great place to learn more about what you eat.

“You can be a foodie without knowing a thing about where it comes from,” said Cohen. “We’re helping the next generation — K H to really care about food.” independent.com

CSB music student Azeem Ward (aka Viral Flute Recital Guy) made Internet waves in May when a public Facebook video he posted previewing his upcoming senior recital went global. It garnered 100,000 RSVPs, mostly from the United Kingdom, where he became a meme sensation — one Brit, Stuart Swift, even flew from England to Santa Barbara for the actual concert. Since the initial posting, Ward became a BuzzFeed celebrity, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and performed his senior concert.

I caught up with him recently to see what he’s up to now.

director, Michael Morgan, of the Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra helped organize a fundraiser to pay for a collegiate-sized $5,000 flute. I’ve had a really lucky life.

What was it like during your viral Facebook fame? It was difficult

to focus on my graduation recital because I had gotten a lot of requests for favors and interviews. I ended up turning off the Facebook notifications. It’s crazy because there are a lot of hardworking musicians out there that deserve recognition; what are the chances of that happening to me?

When did you start playing flute? I started

in the 5th grade, but it wasn’t until I saw the orchestra play that I decided it was what I wanted to do. Pursuing the flute in school band and orchestra, I soon had outgrown my youth-sized flute, but the music

What has it been like afterward? My

friends and professors are really positive and supportive. I have been getting a lot of random gigs, including playing at the Goodland Hotel, an a cappella concert in I.V., and the UCSB MultiCultural Center Persian music concert. I might do a tour in the U.K. this summer.

What are your future plans? I’m going to

pursue my graduate degree at the University of Northern Iowa. I got offered a full scholarship and being able to teach flute classes. They also have jazz classes, which is a plus. I’m a big fan of beat maker Nujabes because [the] wide range of styles he blends together is subtle and smooth, and players like Hubert Laws and Bobbi Humphrey, who are both pioneers in exploring flute in jazz and funk. I want to collaborate with more musicians, check out the L.A. scene at some point, and record an album exploring jazz and hip-hop music.

Any advice to future classical musicians?

The state of classical music needs more musicians to reach a commercial audience.

The traditional symphony route is dwindling because there are so many people competing for that one orchestra seat. You see a lot of musicians forming chamber groups and ensembles. There needs to be more different ways of promoting it, making it more accessible to younger audiences by incorporating music that speaks to us.

YelawOlF LOVe STORY “Don’t be afraid to grow up, to evolve, to change,” said Yelawolf at his recent Monday-night concert at the Majestic Ventura Theater. Clearly the rapper is following his own advice; his latest album, Love Story, is an intriguing mix of clever spoken-word Story flow and evocative musical arrangements. (Yelawolf sings on many of the tunes, revealing a pleasing timbre.) While the 14-track record is commendable in its entirety, a few songs stand out particularly: “Have a Great Flight” is a pensive tune featuring acoustic guitar fingerpicking, somber cello cries,

and a staccato snare; “Devil in My Veins,” a beautifully rendered number, explores fame and redemption; “Tennessee Love” makes great use of the slide guitar; and “Best Friend” is a powerful, religious-themed song that includes a guest rap by Yelawolf mentor Eminem.

Regarding his Nashville-inspired direction, the Alabama native explained that although folks don’t think of him as a country artist, “I am from the country, and I am an artist.” Well said.

WOODWIND WONDER: Azeem Ward went from being an unknown UCSB music student to an Internet meme sensation.

Live Oak Lines ’em Up

Each June, some serious musical talent pours into Live Oak Camp near Lake Cachuma to wow folks with an array of genres, including folk, bluegrass, blues, gospel, and world music. Closing in on its third decade of existence, this year’s several-day Live Oak Festival sports a lineup not to be missed.

For instance, the legendary Steve Earle will grace the main stage on Sunday, June 21, along with his band, The Dukes. Inspired by the music of singer/songwriter Townes Van Zandt, Earle Stellar took up the guitar at the age of 11 and started acts perform at playing out by age 19. In F e St i va l the course of his career, he’s made 15 albums, won three Grammys, and had his work covered by such luminaries as Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, and Waylon Jennings.

Another performer sure to thrill is Sean Watkins, who will play Saturday, June 20. Watkins may be best known for his work with Nickel Creek, which includes his sister Sara on fiddle, but the guitarist extraordinaire also has an active solo career that includes four albums, the latest being 2014’s All I Do Is Lie. While his roots are bluegrass, Watkins now also incorporates country, indie rock, and acoustic folk into his repertoire.

Other artists featured at the weekend-long event include area favorites Cache Valley Drifters and Hot Buttered Rum, up-and-comers Shadowlands, New Times Music Award winners Próxima Parada, the “Afromericana” trio Mamajowali, and Grammywinning country and folk singer Suzy Bogguss. While you can pop up to the fest for just one concert, the best thing to do is dust off your tent and head out to the valley for a full weekend of unforgettable music.

ubmerge yourself in an ocean of art created by talented southern Californians at Aquatic, the Santa Barbara Tennis Club’s sixth annual themed and juried art exhibit.

Works by more than 30 artists in a variety of media come together in a collision of blues and greens to represent a vital component of our lives here on the coast — water.

Susan Tibbles, curator of the Santa Barbara Tennis Club 2nd Fridays series, has selected a group of pieces that beautifully embodies the aquatic theme, ranging from the tranquil oil paintings of Rick Garcia to zany mixed-media pieces such as Lynn Brown’s glittering, feathery fish titled “Dorado’s Golden Beast.” Despite the diversity in style and media within Aquatic, Tibbles explains that during the selection process, she found a “rhythm that ties each piece together into a cohesive experience.”

Artist and teacher Dug Uyesaka judged the competition portion of the show and announced the winners at a reception on June 12. Uyesaka said that he searched for pieces that captured “the essence of Aquatic,” and his selection indeed managed to exemplify the creativity and skill that all THE DEEP BLUE: Artists compete to capture the essence of the artists in the show have of water for the exhibit Aquatic, which includes Liz Brady’s to offer.

QUEEN OF THE BOW: Described as a “cello goddess” by the New Yorker, Maya Beiser showed off her single-instrument virtuosity at last weekend’s Ojai Music Fest.

Bang On

The Ojai Music Festival.

At the Libbey Bowl, Wednesday-Sunday, June 10-14.

Reviewed by Charles Donelan

T

he Ojai Music Festival has always been friendly to influences from outside the Western tradition, but this year’s edition took things a step further by ushering in so much of the so-called “outside” as to render the distinction temporarily invalid. As in his own extraordinary solo performance on Friday evening, 2015 Music Director Steven Schick created a sonic world out of the vast array of instruments laid out for him by the various ensembles and musicians on hand.

From the rigorous classical discipline of the strings in the Calder Quartet to the elaborate batteries of percussion deployed by red fish blue fish, and from the single-instrument virtuosity of pipa player Wu Man and cellist Maya Beiser to the democratic sounds of audience members clicking away on small stones, the 2015 Ojai Music Festival wove together a tapestry of sound that seemed ready to start anywhere and end everywhere.

Celebrating the 90th birthday of the great French innovator Pierre Boulez was one strand of the festival, while investigating the overlap between music and physical theater was another. Electronics, prerecorded loops, and digital-delay devices were employed freely, but so were such pre-digital sound technologies as tearing paper and rattling rocks. For example, Friday evening’s main concert was divided into two parts, a BartókBoulez pairing and a feature for Schick as a solo percussionist.

Bartók’s string quartets are quintessential Ojai Festival material—dense and astringent, they offer a high return on the considerable investment of the listener’s attention they demand. The Calder Quartet was born to parse the intricacies of such music, and on Friday, they played numbers 3 and 5 with

equal fidelity and brio. Placed between these two imposing examples of 20th-century string-quartet composition, the Dialogue de l’ombre double of Pierre Boulez went off like a firecracker. With electronic samples cascading through the audience from multiple speakers placed around the Libbey Bowl, clarinetist Joshua Rubin performed a score that had him interacting with a digital shadow of his instrument in what Boulez refers to as “spatial theater.”

Schick’s solo set gave new life to the tired notion of a tour de force performance. Surrounded by thousands of instruments, Schick powered through seven dense compositions without the aid of a score. In the process, he educated his audience in the eclectic sounds of the contemporary repertoire for solo percussion. Two works by Iannis Xenakis, Rebonds and Psappha, anchored the program at either end, indicating the seminal status of Xenakis in this arena.

Schick’s penultimate solo piece, Vinko Globokar’s ?Corporel, was the most talked about, as it required the performer to shed not only his arsenal of sticks and mallets but also his shirt. Sitting and eventually lying on a resonant platform amplified with microphones, Schick rubbed, slapped, tapped, and knocked on his head and chest while emitting a wide range of nonverbal noises.

At one point, while laying flat on his back, he even threw in some snores. He also spoke the piece’s only words: “I recently read the following remark: ‘Human history is a long sequence of synonyms for the same word. It is our duty to disprove this.’ ” In searching for an example of this ongoing quest for the nonsynonymous, one could hardly do better than the Ojai Music Festival. n

ith his 2010 play Venus in Fur, David Ives has granted directors everywhere their fondest wish, which I imagine goes something like this: “Dear playwright, please bring me a new two-person show that’s both intelligent and funny! Make it deep enough to withstand repeated viewings, and fill it to the brim with unresolved sexual tension.” Whether or not this request was ever formulated quite so exactly, Venus in Fur nevertheless arrives as the answer to some similar prayer, as it easily fulfills all of the above conditions. Under Andrew Barnicle’s crisply energetic direction, and in a perversely gorgeous set designed by Stephen Gifford and lit by Jeremy Pivnick, actors Bruce Turk and Annie Abrams turn up the heat as the writer Thomas Novachek and Vanda Jordan, an actress auditioning for the lead in Novachek’s adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s novella Venus in Furs.

Although the plot mirrors that of the novella to a certain extent, and there is certainly plenty of eroticism in the play, ultimately this Venus in Fur is not particularly concerned with the nuts and bolts (or should that be knots and buttons?) of sadomasochism. As in Ives’s earlier work All in the Timing, the emphasis falls on the tension between what lines in a script might mean in the abstract versus what they mean to the person saying them.

When Vanda Jordan arrives late to the casting call to play the young dominatrix in Thomas Novachek’s play, she makes a poor first impression by cursing and reel-

ing off clichés in a parody of contemporary girlspeak.

But when she finally manages to persuade the reluctant playwright to read his script with her, she becomes a different person, handling the play-within-a-play’s Eastern European accent and sophisticated dialogue with dazzling fluency. Over the course of the evening, this ironic split between the two sides of Jordan becomes a source of great mystery, first to Novachek, and by the ending, to the audience, as well. Many of the night’s best moments came from the skill with which Abrams navigates the abrupt transitions that Ives has designed for her role.

As Thomas Novachek, Turk quickly sheds his initial reluctance to read with Jordan at all and gradually allows her to seduce him deeper into the role of Severin, Sacher-Masoch’s protagonist.

Jordan’s insistence that he read Severin’s long speeches rather than skipping over them is the first clue that she is on her way to holding the upper hand in their seesawing relationship.

In addition to many clever reflections on the audition and play-development process, there’s a deeper message in Venus in Fur that trumps the various debates about sexual exploitation that Ives explores along the way. As with the coffee that gets tagged as a symbolic gesture twice during the action, the play’s ending implies that there’s something more to this meditation on theater than entertainment. Watch out for the chthonic forces that lurk beneath the proscenium, Ives seems to say, as n they are the true masters.

L

ast Saturday night, Los Tigres del Norte played to a packed crowd at the Bowl and took care of business. With a career spanning more than 40 years, The Tigers of the North (aka Boss of Bosses) have conquered six Grammys, six Latin Grammys, countless movie cameos, and a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame with their unique Johnny Cash-AC/ DC-accordion-Charles Bronson-Spanish-Death Wish sound. They have left an untouchable legacy depicting the nitty-gritty truths that thread from Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and California.

When you see Los Tigres live, it is astonishing how talented they really are. The silver-Versace-suited, black-leather-pant-wearing group is composed of a drummer and a conga player with four vocalizing frontmen that double on bass guitar, acoustic guitar, accordion, and saxophone; these guys all sing and play their respective instruments and make it look easy. Because of their flexible music ensemble, they are able to play their trademark gunmetal two-step, waltz, hard-rock bolero, and a unique version of cumbia and merengue. The stoic and stage-polished group is always ready with a photo-op pose, and occasionally a duo will engage in a Russian-roulette dance of death, stage center. The cowboy-hat-wearing Jorge Hernández has a Mexican Zeus–like finger-point that he aims at the audience; when it’s directed at you, you’d swear you’re staring at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

As for the scene: The aisles were full of dancing couples wearing leather boots, coyote calls rang out continuously, and every two seconds the guy standing behind me yelled, “Arriba la Rasa!” I even joined in and yelled to the reigning holy mother, La Reina del Sur,“Viva la Fiesta!” but I don’t think she heard me. Even the yellow-shirted security guards had subtle two-step bounces in their arms-crossed stances.

Behind those Mexican John Wayne personas, Los Tigres show their humility and appreciation to their fans by posing for front-row selfies and taking handwritten song requests. They were always thanking the audience and even played their version of “Happy Birthday” to one of the audience member’s aunt Teresa. When they finished their set, the crowd yelled for another —“Otra! Otra!”— and the guys walked right back center stage, dimmed the lights, and played for another half hour with the whole audience on their feet dancing. During their encore of “Somos Más Americanos,” which details the history and plight of the American colonization, the crowd went absolutely crazy. It changed my life forever, and after the end n of the show, I vowed I would buy a cowboy hat.

STYLE BLENDERS: King Zero members channel raw emotion into their reggaerock-rap fusion music.

REGGAE RISING: Reggae-punk-hip-hop-fusion band King Zero plays Thursday, June 18, at SOhO Restaurant & Muisc Club with Fayuca, Ease Up, and True Press, but don’t call them a white-boy reggae band. “Genre, genre,

genre—I just play music,” said band mastermind and rhythm guitarist Keith Cain. “Styles segregate people,” agreed vocalist and guitarist Angelo Caprio. “It’s about personal expression—taking from what you love, using what’s useful, and just having fun with it.”

The band originated as something of a fusion, when Cain “conned” two singer/songwriters, Caprio and vocalist Ben Collinson, into meeting with him individually under the guise of having other members there—they arrived to find Cain with his box drum, shaker, and sock.

Though originally a scheme to net the usual spoils of young live music (i.e., girls), the band quickly evolved into a more meaningful outlet for the members’ collective passions and pains. King Zero’s shows, in the words of Cain, are about “raw heart passion,” about “being moved by someone onstage being fully who they are, and exploding that inner passion that we can all connect to.”

“It’s how we get connected into our deeper selves — without that, we wouldn’t be living a balanced life,” added bassist Kevin Long.

Their channeled raw emotion can take all manner of forms, as the happily spontaneous band has played all over town, from the echo-y archways of Metro 4 movie theater to the beaches of Goleta. They’re also open to inviting others to play onstage with them, whether it’s Scorpion joining in on drums or “that old guy from Sandbar” laying down a verse.

“Real magic happens when it’s spontaneous,” Caprio said.

“Computers are popular forms of making music now, but there’s nothing like the human element, live art performed in the flesh,” said Long.

They aren’t so much inspired by roots reggae as they are the Californian style of reggae-rock-rap fusion, championed by college-dorm-room patron saints Sublime, or longtime hometown players Cornerstone and One Two Tree, to whom the King Zero guys feel they owe much of their success.

“The first time I saw One Two Tree, I was 12. Reggae’s always been here,” said Collinson, who expressed gratitude toward the Santa Barbara band.

See the up-and-coming, very lively young band at SOhO on Friday, June 19, at the Live Oak Music Festival, where they play with reggae giants Easy All Stars and many others, and see why this town continues to birth its own brand of irie feeling.

SOME RISE, SOME SET: The Hard to Find Showspace is making a triumphant

return with a Father’s Day lineup featuring the off-and-on venue’s very own Josh and Tim Eymann playing as Easter Teeth, alongside Illicitor, The Quitters, Smoke Wizard, and Headstomp. Back in the day, The Hard to Find, tucked discreetly away in Jubilee Ministries church, was a true godsend for us high schoolers, being the only all-ages venue in the area after the death of The Living Room. Rejoice, rejoice — The Hard to Find is risen, indeed.

Elsewhere in Goleta, word on the street is that the city has imposed an 8 p.m. curfew on The Goodland Hotel for having too much fun in its sleepy neighborhood. The ever-artful establishment has re-engineered their livemusic lineup, now offering the Sundown music series. Though this may mean no more moonlit poolside concerts, with the longer daylight hours, n this may be a blessing in disguise.

n Up, director Pete Docter made mass audiences weep minutes after the film began. All it took was one genius montage of a young couple growing into autumn years — simple, but play that film’s theme music out loud (I dare you), and house faucets drip of their own accord. It was a great trick, and probably needed, since the movie itself had such an unlikely premise: An octogenarian flies his balloonbuoyed tract home to South America. The results are in: Up is a movie that even cartoon haters love.

Much of this movie through the Unconscious, and down to a scary pit concerns those interior workings, as Riley’s emotions where memories go to die.

T

his is a very adequate movie. Forget the giant box-office take and noisy buzz — there are plenty of thrills but no quantum leap in either the fear-factor or special-effects departments. It’s surprising since the film was penned by the writers who resuscitated the Planet of the Apes franchise so beautifully and a director (Colin Trevorrow) who gave us time travel on a dime budget with Safety Not Guaranteed. Instead of wonder, they made chapter four from a smorgasbord of all the previous films. Instead of new ideas, they gave us in-jokes; they looked back in languor with winks. A character in the Jurassic World control room wears a Jurassic Park T-shirt. Doesn’t it bother you that all those people died? asks Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of Ron), referring to the mayhem Spielberg unleashed two decades ago.

“It’s vintage,” he explained. The movie even makes fun of its one big invention, the lab-made dinosaur called Indominus rex, which sounds like a prayer from a Catholic Latin Mass. It’s the public’s fault, all the movie scientists say; they want it bigger and scarier each time.

Just doing our job.

SEQUELS FIND A WAY: Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard star in the so-so, in-jokey Jurassic World.

Well, the public won’t find bigger stuff here. This perfectly okay film works like all the others: bigmouthed T. rex hybrid, shifty-clever raptors, with a nice (though brief) addition of pterodactyls and a giant ocean-a-saurus, who probably swallowed a lot of budget in this tale of a yet again ill-advised theme park reopening at cursed Isla Nublar, where scientific hubris gets served up (along with the guests) on big, wholewheat, natural-retribution buns.

Before long, you’re rooting for the reptiles, mainly because the humans seem far less emotionally evolved.

Chris Pratt is awkwardly fun (he’s a retired Navy man, so he understands how to train dinos). There’s no one to dislike much either, though Vincent D’Onofrio plays a suitably greasy corporate stooge. In the end, there is running, munching, and artillery, and T. rex gets some awesome roar-time. It isn’t brilliant. It’s vintage. n

The following films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, JUNE 19, through THURSDAY, JUNE 25. Descriptions followed by initials — RD (Richie DeMaria), DJP (D.J. Palladino), and KS (Kit Steinkellner) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com. The symbol O indicates the film is recommended.

Ted 2 (115 mins.; R: crude and sexual content,

FIRST LOOKS

pervasive language, and some drug use)

O Inside Out

(94 mins.; PG: mild thematic elements and some action)

See review on page 61.

Camino Real (2D and 3D)/ Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)

Jurassic World (124 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril) See review on page 61.

Arlington (2D and 3D)/ Camino Real (2D and 3D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

In this sequel, Ted must prove in a court of law that he is a person in order to qualify to be a parent along with his new wife, Tami-Lynn.

Camino Real/ Paseo Nuevo (Opens Thu., June 25)

Testament of Youth (129 mins.; PG-13: thematic material including bloody and disturbing war-related images) A British woman remembers coming of age during WWI in this film about young love and the futility of war.

Plaza de Oro

SCREENINGS A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (101 mins.; PG-13: brief sexuality and some disturbing images)

In reality and fantasy, two novelty salesmen ponder the human condition through several absurdist adventures.

Wed., June 24, 5 and 7:30pm, Plaza de Oro

Shrek (90 mins.; PG: mild language and some crude humor) Join in the adventures of Shrek the green ogre and Donkey when they first set out to save their swamp from fairytale creatures and end up saving Princess Fiona instead. Tue., June 23, 10am, Paseo Nuevo (2D)

Ghostbusters (105 mins.; PG: some language, disturbing images, and a scene of suggestive content)

Ivan Reitman’s iconic comedy is about three goofball science professors who studied the occult, get fired from university, and decide to set up shop as a ghost-removal service. Hijinks ensue.

Wed., June 24, 6pm, Granada Theatre

The Way We Were (118 mins.; PG) Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford star in this classic 1973 romance/drama about two people whose convictions ultimately destroy their relationship.

Mon., June 22, 7pm, Granada Theatre

PREMIERES Dope (115 mins.; R: language, drug content, sexuality/nudity, and some violence — all involving teens) This coming-of-age comedy/drama starring Shameik Moore is about a geeky boy who tries to get by in his tough neighborhood of Inglewood while juggling his senior year of high school and applying for colleges.

Fiesta 5 Max (111 mins.; PG: action violence, peril, brief language, and some thematic elements) A German shepherd serves with the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan and is then adopted by his handler’s family after they experience a trauma.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (105 mins.; PG-13: for sexual content, drug material, language, and some thematic elements)

Greg’s life changes when he reunites with a girl he knew in Hebrew school who now suffers from leukemia.

Paseo Nuevo (Opens Thu., June 25)

NOW SHOWING Aloha (105 mins.; PG-13: some language including suggestive comments) In this film, a few white romances unfold on the island of Hawai‘i against an exoticized backdrop of natives, with their quaint superstitions. Crowe loves to make movies where the wicked crumble against the power of rock and romance, but he would do well to humble himself, toss the remaining copies of this $37 million film into a Hawaiian volcano, and begin to atone. (RD) Plaza de Oro

Avengers: Age of Ultron (141 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of sci-fi action, violence, and destruction and some suggestive comments) Joss Whedon did the job, made some money, but clearly his heart was not there. It’s not a bad film, 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) Metro 4

Entourage (104 mins.; R: pervasive language, strong sexual content, nudity, and some drug use)

The boys are back! Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara, and Kevin Dillon reprise their roles for this big-screen premiere of the popular HBO series. Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Though many characters and plot points of this movie resemble the classic novel, where the novel and the film differ is their message: Madame Bovery is a story about a woman struggling to escape her empty life; Gemma Bovery is about the men who make a woman’s life feel dull and oppressive. The film smartly critiques how a patriarchal society first reveres, then annihilates a woman. It’s a charming movie with a

O Love & Mercy

(120 mins.; PG-13: thematic elements, drug content, and language)

Love yourself Love your partner Enhance your level of intimacy

Specializing in Relationships, Intimacy and Sexuality Issues Psychologist Psy 11846 Diplomate, AASECT Sex Therapist Call (805) 963-3329

This is a sweetly over-baked biopic, melodramatic and full of beauty, meant to make us all feel guilty we ever mocked Brian Wilson.The film has great vibrations, and, besides, we know there’s no line between madness and genius and only accomplishments matter in the long run. We ought to stop to admire Wilson’s. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo

O Mad Max: Fury Road

(120 mins.; R: intense sequences of violence throughout and disturbing images)

George Miller’s fourth Mad Max film is a masterpiece. 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. (DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D) 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 and featuring an ensemble of young women as its stars, who are neither objectified nor dependent on the men in their life. I really liked the original film, and I’m so glad this franchise exists. I just wish I had liked the sequel better. (KS) Paseo Nuevo

San Andreas (114 mins.; PG-13: intense disaster action and mayhem throughout, and brief strong language)

Easily the worst disaster in this film is Paul Giamatti’s performance as a Caltech professor. Outside of that, though, the film isn’t terrible, just a cheesy exploitation of popular fears.

Director Brad Peyton seems to be paying homage to Roland (Independence Day, 2012) Emmerich. (DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

Spy is the newest comedy for Melissa McCarthy to shine. It’s an outrageous ride filled with great characters, goofy gore, and more twists than any windy rue de Paris. McCarthy is joined by a stellar cast, including fellow Bridesmaids star Rose Byrne and Jason Statham. If laughs are your mission, then see the hilarious and energizing Spy and consider the mission accomplished.

(RD) Camino Real/Metro 4

(99 mins.; R: sexuality/nudity and language)

❤

Paseo Nuevo

Director Thomas Vinterberg’s film maintains the pastoral gentility of the period-piece genre without drowning it in sappy sentiment. Thomas 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. (RD)

This comedy-drama tells the story of a widow (Blythe Danner) who begins her life anew. Costars include June Squibb, Rhea Perlman, Mary Kay Place, Sam Elliott, and Malin Akerman.

(120 mins.; R: language throughout, violence, some sexual content including brief graphic nudity)

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

Disney’s Tomorrowland is nothing short of a rallying cry for dreamers of the world to change humanity’s course for the better. Problem is, for a revolutionary movie, it is shackled with the tyranny of convention. The future looks like Dubai, and one wonders how many robots were enslaved to build it.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of June 18 CAPRICORN

ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Would you like to stop pushing and struggling for a while? Is there a clenched attitude you would love to let go of? Do you wish you could take a break from having to give so much and try so hard and be so strong? Then do it! Now would be a good time to take a sabbatical from any situation that feels too demanding or frustrating. You wouldn’t incur the wrath of the gods or the twists of karma if you sneaked away to indulge in some recreational frivolity. For the foreseeable future, “relax” and “surrender” are your words of power.

(June 21-July 22): I’m getting itchy to see you blow your own cover. I would love you to come all the way out of your hiding place, even if just for a while, and see what happens if you make full disclosures and brave displays. My hope is that you will close the gap between the real you and the images that people have of you.

Does that sound interesting? Or have you become so fond of being a big riddle that you can’t imagine any other way to be? Maybe I can tempt you to be more self-revelatory if I add this: Taking your disguises off even briefly will enable you to discover intriguing secrets about yourself. And then once you put your disguises back on, you will seem more mysterious than ever.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is a favorable time to wish upon a star. In other words, you can enhance the likelihood that your wish will come true if you choose this phase of your cycle to enlist the assistance of a higher power. It’s your duty to make sure, however, that you wish upon the right star. Pick a higher power that can truly help you with your wish, not necessarily one that has worked for other people’s wishes. Here’s another crucial detail: Be precise in formulating your wish. No foggy thinking or sloppy language allowed!

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Theologian Karl Barth speculated that when the angels get together to praise and honor God with music, they perform the compositions of Bach. But when they are playing for each other, they are more likely to choose Mozart. I guess that’s because Mozart’s stuff is loose and free and inventive compared to Bach, who’s formal and sober and systematic.

Mozart is more for parties, while Bach is for serious occasions. I’m seeing the coming days as a time when you, like the angels, should be especially willing to express yourself in very different ways, depending on the audience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before E. Annie Proulx became a Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist, she wrote a series of how-to books, including a dairy foods cookbook and an instructional text on making your own hard cider.

But the manual of hers that I especially want to call your attention to right now is Plan and Make Your Own Fences & Gates, Walkways, Walls & Drives. It might be inspirational for you to read it. You’re in a phase when it makes perfect sense to create new paths for yourself to travel on. This will allow you to forgo at least some of the paths that others have built and that can’t actually take you where you need to go.

Homework: Test this hypothesis: By giving up a useless “valuable” you don’t really need, you’ll ensure the arrival of a real valuable that you do need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A new cycle will begin for you after your birthday. Between now and then you will be wrapping up the current cycle. I invite you to do so with a flourish. Don’t just wait around passively for the themes of the last 11 months to fade away or go to sleep. Instead, set an intention to bring them to a climactic close. Schedule a splashy graduation or a grand finale. Plan a cathartic party or a celebratory rite of passage. Take a playful leap of faith or try that magic trick you’ve been saving for the perfect moment. Or all of the above!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin deep,” said author Jean Kerr.

“That’s deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?” In accordance with the current astrological omens, Virgo, you should feel free to play around with that impish idea. Just for now, appreciate and enjoy the surfaces of things. Make decisions based on first impressions and instant analyses. Give your attention and energy to what looks appealing to you, and don’t think too hard about stuff that presents a boring appearance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you are fully committed to being both honest and kind, you will have more power to heal other people than you’ve had in a long time. You will have a resemblance to a magic potion or a wonder drug. Here’s a caveat, however: The therapeutic influence you have to offer might be scary to those who aren’t ready to be cured. The solutions you propose could be disruptive to anyone who is addicted to his or her problems. That’s why I advise you to be discerning about how you share yourself. P.S. The medicine you are generating is not too potent for your own use. It’s exactly what you need to transform limitation into liberation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Each of us has at least one pesky ghost or nagging demon that occupies a dark corner of our psyches. It may have been there for years, or we might have picked it up more recently during a phase of temporary insanity. In any case, most of us can benefit from conducting a periodic banishing ritual. Now would be prime time for you to do just that. Ready?

With your imagination, draw a clockwise circle of your favorite-colored light on the floor or ground.

Next, identify an image that makes you feel happy and safe, and visualize four versions of it at the four cardinal points, hovering three feet above your circle.

Then say this: “I dissolve any hex and banish any pest that has been draining my energy. I purge any wasteful emotions, unsound ideas, and trivial desires that I may have grown attached to.” To put the seal on your magic, laugh for two minutes.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By my estimation, 97 percent of the population is chronically starving for the pleasure of being listened to with deep empathy and focused intelligence. Very few of us enjoy the prolonged and undivided attention of a receptive ally on a regular basis. It’s rare to be in the presence of a person whose sole agenda is to be innocently curious about you. Your assignment, Capricorn, is to go on a quest to remedy this shortfall. Figure out how you can get the skillful listening you’re missing. (P.S. One way to prime the magic is to offer yourself up as a skillful listener to others.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): At this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony, British singer Sam Smith won in four categories. His tune “Stay with Me” was named Song of the Year. In one of his acceptance speeches, Smith expressed appreciation for the difficult muse who inspired the song. “I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year,” he said.

“Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.” I invite you to come up with a comparable expression of gratitude, Aquarius.

What experience that seemed like tough luck at the time has actually turned out to be a blessing? Now would be a perfect time to acknowledge and relish and make full use of the unexpected grace.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The Bay of Fundy is a branch of the Atlantic Ocean between the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It’s renowned for its tidal range. When high tide comes, the water may be as much as 53 feet higher than what it is at low tide. The shift back and forth happens twice a day. I’m wondering if in the coming weeks your emotional ebb and flow will have a similar variability. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could experience both very high highs and very deep depths.

Please note that when I say “depths,” I don’t mean sadness or despair. Rather, I’m talking about a profound ability to feel your way into the heart of things.

Wine of the Week Hartley-Ostini Hitching Post Highliner Pinot Noir 2012 In the debate between whether Santa Maria Valley or Sta. Rita Hills pinot noir reigns supreme, Gray Hartley and Frank Ostini wisely place their bet in the middle with their flagship wine Highliner, a blend from premium fruit from both regions. The exact vineyards shifts from vintage to vintage, but with the wealth of ripeness from 2012, they couldn’t go wrong.

This Highliner is voluptuous on the nose, tongue, and tastebuds; its violet notes don’t make it a shrinking violet. But mostly it offers rich red fruit that’s still lithe and subtle (and while delicious now, should age too).

As it’s a Hitching Post wine it’s little surprise it would pair perfectly with medium rare red oak grilled steak; it actually gets 70% new French oak, but somehow avoids turning tannin‑monster.

GANDOLFO’S

DELI OPENING DOWNTOWN

I

JOHN DICKSON

n early June, I noticed that the forlease sign had been taken down at 718 State Street, the former home of Killer B’s, Kozmo’s, California Crisp, and Fat Burger. There didn’t appear to be any new construction going on. Readers Mike, Brendan, and Patrick now tell me that a new sign has appeared with the name of the next tenant: Gandolfo’s New York Delicatessen.

Owner Dan Pool opened Gandolfo’s first location in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1989. The deli has since expanded to 32 locations in 13 states, primarily in the west. The nearest Gandolfo’s New York Delicatessen location is in Oxnard. Visit gandolfosdeli.com.

SACHI RAMEN TO OPEN DOWNTOWN:

Reader Steve tells me that there is a sign at 721 Chapala Street, the former home of Esau’s Café, indicating that the next tenant will be Sachi Ramen and Robata Bar. KANOLOA SEAFOOD COMING TO CHAPALA: Reader Steve also tells me that

CARPINTERIA CAJUN KITCHEN CLOSES: Reader Robert let me know that

BIG APPLE: A New York deli is coming to State Street in a space once occupied by Fat Burger.

Cajun Kitchen at 865 Linden Avenue in Carpinteria has closed for good after 16 years in business. A notice about the pending closure was posted on their door in early June.

TONY’S CLOSED? In February, I wrote that Hayes

Commercial Group had posted a message on the City of Carpinteria website that Tony’s Restaurant at 699 Linden Avenue was for sale. Readers now tell me that the place is closed and boarded up. I called Tony’s during business hours, and nobody answered the phone.

CRAZY GOOD BREAD UPDATE: Reader Dad tells

me (and I confirmed) that a listing on the Radius Commercial Real Estate website says that the space occupied by Crazy Good Bread in the Santa Barbara Public Market is available for lease. I called Crazy Good Bread, and they said they are open for business as usual.
