We Are Friends Of Chumash The cit y of Lomp oc re cent l y established a formal working relationship with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. We will meet periodically with tribal officials to explore a wide range of topics.

This government-to-government partnership is positioned to benefit the entire community and help improve the quality of life in Lompoc.

Nearly 50% of the tribe’s employees live in Lompoc and many of our schools and non-profit organizations have been recipients of the tribe’s generosity.

That’s why I stand with the many in our community who say… “we are friends of Chumash.”

After we learned that our colleagues (top, from right) Brandi Rivera and Marianne Kuga were headed on vacation to the sparkling waters and pristine beaches of Fiji, our hearts expanded with love for them when they began sending photos of themselves diving in the beautiful South Pacific and enjoying drinks encrusted with pineapple. So Terry Ortega (below, right) — who poured countless hours and around 13,000 words into this issue’s Summer Camp Guide — and Paul Wellman (below, left) came up with a few staycation images of their own, filmed in The Indy’s pristine parking lot.

News of the Week

March 31-april 7, 2016

by KELSEY BRUggER @kelseybrugger, LÉNA gARCIA @lenamgarcia, KEITh hAmm, TYLER hAYDEN @TylerHayden1, and NICK WELSh, with Independent STAff

Friends of the Han family, many of them patients at Dr. Weidong “Henry” Han’s Santa Barbara Herb Clinic, gathered Sunday evening at Hendry’s Beach to honor Han; his wife, Jennie Yu; and their daughter, Emily. The family was found murdered on the evening of March 23 at their Greenhill Way home near Goleta.

Vedanta nun Pravrajika Vrajaprana and Santa Barbara Summit for Tibet cofounder Thepo Tulku offered prayers to begin the ceremony, in which more than a dozen patients and friends shared memories.

Waldorf School of Santa Barbara teacher Angela Mietzke, who

taught Emily during preschool, said, “I want to share what a light she was.” Mietzke read a poem praising Emily’s “mischievous smile and joyous laughter.” She added, “What an incredible mother [Jennie] was … protecting, kind, generous, loving.”

The event was led by Santa Barbara resident and editor Nancy Black, a friend and patient. Black set up a GoFundMe account to support the clinic. She says another memorial will take place once — Léna Garcia family members arrive from China.

Race Against Overtime law & disorder

With Staffing Shortages, Custody Officers Face Brutally Long Hours

I

by N i c k W e l s h n response to chronic staffing shortages in the County Jail, Sheriff Bill Brown will declare a “mandatory overtime” policy for custody officers beginning April 11. At the budget workshop hearing slated that same day, Brown will be asking the county supervisors to approve funding authorization for 11 new sworn positions and 13 new non-sworn positions.

The union representing county deputy sheriffs and custody officers — the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (DSA) — issued a redflag broadside last week, calling on the sheriff and county supervisors to work harder to keep existing deputies and to recruit new ones. They said the number of vacancies among custody officers increased from 10 to 15 in the month of March; Brown himself put that number closer to 18.

Because staffing levels dropped below minimal levels twice in the month of March, the North County booking station was shut down two times, each for 12 hours. During those times, patrol sergeant and DSA spokesperson Bruce McFarland said, North 8

County individuals who would otherwise have been booked in Santa Maria had to be escorted to the South County jail. This, he said, took skilled law enforcement officers off the streets for three hours at a time, leaving the communities they served less protected.

Brown also asked the supervisors for $950,000 to keep the booking station open this coming year.

McFarland said that forced overtime poses its own health and safety dangers. With forced overtime, deputies will find themselves working 10 12-hour shifts — totaling 120 hours — before getting a break, as opposed to the current 80-hour stretches. Brown expressed sympathy with the union, stating its concerns were “valid.” He expressed hope the county supervisors would restore funding to some of the 64 positions cut during the recession.

McFarland speculated that heightened concern about inmates with mental-health issues might be exacerbating staffing problems.

Brown said the real problem was any health crisis that required custody officers to escort prisoners to the emergency room or the county’s psychiatric hospital. This takes staff out of the jail. Reforms designed to shift older, independent.com

nonviolent felons out of state prisons and into county jails, Brown said, have increased the number of such trips his troops have to make.

The staffing problems dogging Brown are hardly unique to Santa Barbara County. As the economy has improved and news coverage of excessive force by police has increased, law enforcement agencies throughout California and the nation have struggled to maintain staffing. Brown blamed the “relentless and significantly misplaced criticism directed against all American peace officers for the misconduct of a few.”

But in Santa Barbara, sheriff’s deputies and custody officers have been working without a contract for over a year. The DSA has sought an 8 percent raise; management has offered considerably less. Efforts at mediation have failed, and both sides have retreated into what’s termed the “fact-finding mode.” Assuming impasse remains, the county supervisors will likely impose a new contract on the union, but that imposition would last only one year. The workshops later this month will offer a sneak preview of the high-stakes drama expected to play out early this summer, when the supervisors hammer out a new budget. n

Eastside gang member Joseph Castro (pictured), 23, was sentenced 4/6 to life in prison without parole for the shooting death of Ventura resident Kelly Hunt in February 2013. Castro’s codefendant, Isaac Jimenez, was sentenced to life last month. “You will never know or understand what you took from me,” Hunt’s mother told Castro at this week’s hearing. “Kelly was a good guy. I miss my baby.”

Seven years after stabbing Baldemar Leal to death on the Westside, gang member Andrew Baldarez was sentenced on 4/4 to 25 years to life in state prison. On February 22, 2009, Leal,22, was found dead at Brownie’s Market at 435 De la Vina Street. Baldarez, then 35, told authorities he stabbed Leal several times due to Leal’s perceived “disrespect” toward a fellow gang member.

Pleading no contest to one misdemeanor conflict-of-interest charge, longtime Santa Barbara City College financial aid director Bradley Hardison on 4/1 received a year of probation and repaid $37,000 earned by his spouse through a contract Hardison had arranged. From 2013-2015, SBCC paid $51,975 to the Independent Living Resource Center for the creation of online financial aid forms for disabled students. An independent contractor with the nonprofit, Hardison’s spouse earned roughly $37,000 for the work.

The day after Holden Weddington, 18, turned himself in for allegedly robbing the Cliff Drive Union Bank, police say a male suspect tried to rob the 1030 Coast Village Road Union Bank. Around 3:30 p.m. on 3/31, a suspect captured on video surveillance passed a demand note to the teller but fled the scene before taking any money. Police ask anyone with information to call the anonymous tip line at 897-2386.

COUNTY The Board of Supervisors agreed to pay a consultant $275,000 to help negotiate a deal with the private operators of the county’s expanded trash operation at the Tajiguas Landfill. Gaviota Coast activists objected there are cheaper, lower impact, and more reliable alternatives to the technology under consideration. They also argued it made no sense to pay private developers with no landfill experience to

Both of Santa Barbara’s representatives in Sacramento signed legislation that would increase California’s minimum wage to $15 by the year 2023. Although they were members of the first legislative bodies to do so, New York’s governor Andrew Cuomo proved a few hours quicker with the pen than his California counterpart, Governor Jerry Brown. Given the disproportionately large number of low-wage workers in Santa Barbara County — where agriculture, retail, and service industries play such a dominant role — the legislation will have significant impact. The current minimum wage is $10.50 and that, under the law signed by Brown, will increase to $11 an hour in 2018 for companies with more than 26 employees, and in 2019 for companies with fewer. By a staggered series of incremental steps, it will increase to $15 by 2023 for companies with 25 employees or fewer. Brown inserted language into the bill, however, to slow down that rate of increase in the face of serious economic downturn.

Economists have long argued about the wisdom of minimum-wage laws and their impacts, and that’s not changing. Peter Rupert with UCSB’s Economic Forecast Project contended the new wage is “almost immoral” in its discriminatory impacts on undereducated, under-employed low-wage workers. He suggested employers will replace entry-level workers with automation rather than pay such high labor costs. Nelson Lichtenstein, a labor historian with UCSB, countered that the real minimum wage — when adjusted for inflation — is what it was in the 1960s and ’70s. Lichtenstein said any job losses will be compensated for by the increased earning power of those employed. “With our vast low-wage workforce, we need to shake things up,” he said.

“We need to be disruptive.” He added that low-wage workers will not be the only beneficiaries. Other employees should see pay increases as employers seek to maintain existing wage ladders within their workplaces.

“Anyone who tells you they know exactly what will happen with this minimumwage increase is living in a world of theory, not reality,” said Lucas Zucker, an organizer with CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy) and a proponent of the ballot initiative that would have increased Santa Barbara’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. That initiative was withdrawn after the governor and Legislature — almost entirely along party lines — worked out a deal to raise it statewide. While economists have been at a loss to explain the abiding persistence of wage stagnation, both sides acknowledge it remains a measurable reality nationally.

In fact, Rupert cited a report released by the Federal Reserve showing that today’s minimum wage buys the same amount as it did in 1950, 1986, and 2008. In Santa Barbara, wage stagnation has been even more mystifying with real wages holding steady or declining over the past 30 years, even now in the face of full employment — Nick Welsh and significant job creation.

manage a facility — that will cost an estimated $140 million to build — that’s already publicly owned and will have to be publically financed. These same activists, however, have opposed any effort to prolong the life of the landfill, so their arguments found little traction with the supervisors.

A one-year-old Masai giraffe named Asha, recently transferred from her birthplace at the Santa Barbara Zoo to Ohio’s Toledo Zoo, suffered an irreparable leg fracture on 4/26 at her new home. On 4/27, she was euthanized. The same day as Asha’s injury, a male giraffe calf named Chad was born at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Standing 66 tall and weighing 191 pounds, he was born after five hours of labor to an 8-year-old Masai named Audrey.

Carpinteria residents can expect water bills to fluctuate with drought-related expenses projected for the 2016-2017 budget. Low water users will see rates increase by roughly $8.13 per month; high water rates will drop nearly $7.77 per month. A two-tiered rate system is expected to replace the previous three-tiered system. Proposed 3/23 at the Carpinteria Valley Water District board meeting, the proposed budget goes to vote on 6/8.

For the first time in its 89-year history, the Santa Maria Elks Lodge named a woman its Exalted Ruler. Karen Feldpouch, a 14-year member of the club, was appointed 4/2 to the highest leadership position within

the lodge’s local hierarchy for the 20162017 year. Feldpouch intends to expand the Elks Rodeo and increase the lodge’s community engagement. She wants to involve younger members — kids and families — and would “love to see more women officers come in.”

EDUCATION Santa Barbara Unified School District is inviting the community to chime in on its draft Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) as it updates the weighty budgetary document. While the LCAP now aligns with the goals of the district’s Strategic Plan — from college preparedness to cultural proficiency — it’s expanding next year to include more commitments to early education.

Suggestions and comments can be made through the link at the district’s homepage.

Past parental input led to the creation of after-school tutoring and expanded library hours.

In a comparison of graduation rates between white and black students at 450 four-year colleges, The Education Trust issued a March report including UCSB among the schools with increases in undergraduate degrees awarded to African-American students from 2003-2013. For black students, the report, titled Rising Tide II, detailed that in 2013, 72.2 percent walked the line at UCSB, a rise of 9.3 percent since 2003. That was double the average institution in the study. n

ne lunch meeting this February, the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara Board of Directors voted to make $2 million available to college-bound students without legal status. It was the second time the 40-member board formally voted on the controversial issue—this time with less debate.

“It’s the long-awaited move we’ve been encouraging our community for quite some time,” said Jonathan Wang, president of the Adsum Education Foundation, an all-volunteer group that raises money specifically for the estimated 2,000 or so undocumented high school students in the county. More dollars will be available to these highly qualified students, he explained.“From a broader standpoint, it’s what’s right.”

The climate in California has grown more favorable toward undocumented students in recent years — Jonathan Wang, president of the Adsum first in 2001 with the passage of AB Education Foundation 540 (allowing undocumented high school students to pay in-state tuition) and 3,000 scholarships granted to all students, 10 years later with the California Dream 107 went to undocumented students.

defective helmets distributed

A retired physician who volunteers with the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition has discovered a manufacturing defect in a helmet that’s been handed out to schoolchildren and people who have purchased bicycles at Bici Centro, the coalition’s downtown hub. Last month, 31 out of the 108 size-large Vigor 1080X helmets in stock at Bici Centro were found to have hairline cracks where the chin strap is riveted to the outer plastic shell, said Dr. Daniel Fishbein, who examined the shop’s inventory after a customer reported the problem. On the customer’s helmet, the strap had become completely detached from the cracked outer shell. The majority of the faulty helmets were white, though the same defect was also found in green, purple, blue, and black helmets.

Since then, the Coalition for Sustainable Transportation (COAST) — which originally purchased the helmets and resold them to Bici Centro at cost — has notified 10 Santa Barbara schools where the helmets were also distributed as part of its ongoing bike-safety program. “Our records indicate that there are [18] of these helmets out in the community,” COAST said in the notification. Over the past 13 years, COAST has sold at discount or given away more than 15,000 helmets, according to Kim StanleyZimmerman, a coordinator for the nonprofit. The helmet in question has passed federal Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards.

COAST has also notified Vigor manufacturer VSI Products, based in Cerritos. VSI Brand Manager John Dow told COAST to dispose of any remaining 1080X helmets on hand, and that VSI will credit COAST toward future orders. “We will further investigate this matter with our customers who purchased 1080X helmets in 2015 and follow through in similar fashion,” Dow said. “We will do our best to take care of this issue accordingly together with our factory.”

Earlier this month, Fishbein filed a report about the helmets with the CPSC. He also purchased the exact same helmet (white, size large) at Amazon to see if the problem reached beyond the bad batch sent to Santa Barbara. His new helmet arrived with a — Keith Hamm hairline crack at the strap rivet, he said.

During a lively Board of Supervisors meeting, 3rd District candidate Bob Field charged he was recently the victim of false “politically motivated” personal attacks from the conservative county supervisors.

To recap: Two weeks ago, Supervisor Steve Lavagnino publicly 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino (left) and 3rd District blasted Field, all but candidate Bob Field calling him a hypocrite for appealing a 14,000-square-foot Santa Rosa Winery expansion project while promoting his own property on the market as a small winery. Field is known for crusading for the past 10 years against the proliferation of wine-tasting rooms and vacation rentals in the valley. Lavagnino emphasized the description of the “1930s farm house”: “The classic red barn offers multiple opportunities including … a small scale winery.”

This week, Field charged Lavagnino besmirched his and his real estate agent’s reputation and that Lavagnino’s stunt violated the democratic appeals process.

“Citizens cannot attack its government, but government can attack its citizen,” he said. Supervisors Doreen Farr and Janet Wolf both apologized, describing Lavagnino’s behavior as having a “chilling affect” on future applicants. But COLAB (Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business) spokesperson Andy Caldwell stuck up for Lavagnino and dismissed Field as a “serial complainer.” He charged the county appeals process is “ripe for abuse.”

The issue has generated back-and-forth op-eds among county insiders. When Field jumped into the race, conservatives flinched. Conventional wisdom says the third Santa Ynez Valley candidate’s bid makes it all but inevitable that the election will be decided in November. In presidential elections, that brings out younger liberal Dem voters. This hurts conservative-backed candidate Bruce Porter and makes Field the spoiler. If so, Field had no qualms. “I am not in this race to spoil it for [Bruce Porter],” he said. “I’m in this race to ruin it for him.”

Until recently, Field backed Democrat Joan Hartmann and even donated $1,000 to her campaign. Conservative strategists say the best shot for Porter is to win the seat at the primary election — when Republicans tend to turn out more. To do that, a candidate must secure 50 percent of the electorate, plus one vote. With Field (and newcomer right-wing candidate Karen Jones) in the race, that’s all but statistically impossible. Isla Vista resident Jay Freeman is also vying for the seat.

Lavagnino has not responded to Field. “I really didn’t think what happened at the meeting was that big of a deal,” he said afterward. “[Field’s] best way to help Joan —Kelsey Brugger Hartmann is not to give her $1,000. It’s to get into the race.”

Zika Warnings

Established 1977

lthough no cases of the Zika virus have been reported in Santa Barbara County yet, public health officials are on alert given the high frequency of travel between California and Mexico, and the rest of Central America. County Health and Direct Relief hosted a public forum this week to discuss the issue. To date, there are 17 individuals infected in California, all women. The closest any live to Santa Barbara are Kern and Los Angeles counties.

The Zika virus is of special concern because pregnant women who become infected are at risk of giving birth to babies with abnormally small heads — microcephaly — and a host of debilitating complications. Ultrasounds are only 57 percent accurate at detecting microcephaly, said Dr. Melissa Drake, an area ob-gyn. The condition, she said, is detectable at about 18-20 weeks; most states prohibit abortions after 24 weeks except in especially dire circumstances. Because of this, Drake said she expects to see a spike in preemptive precautionary abortions.

The Centers for Disease Control reported there have been nine pregnancies of Zikainfected mothers in the United States; two were aborted, two miscarried, and of the three live births, one was born with extreme

In Santa Barbara, the Mosquito and Vector Management District has set out traps to determine whether Zika-infected mosquitoes — Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus — have arrived. To date, the traps have not caught any. District manager David Chang reported an unusually low number of mosquitos turning up in the traps. He attributed that to the drought; mosquitos need stagnant pools of still water to lay their eggs. n

S.B.-Based Republican Ad Man Strikes Again with Bizarre New TV Spot

F

by J e r r y r o b e r t s red Davis, Montecito’s mad genius campaign strategist, has produced the most memorable TV spot of 2016 — a surreal strike against Republican presidential wannabe Ted Cruz that should include a warning label: You Can’t Un-watch This.

Aired in the run-up to the crucial Wisconsin primary on behalf of Ohio Governor John Kasich, the ad features an image of Cruz, staring while his nose grows like a hose to encircle his own neck; a voiceover recounts a series of campaign dirty tricks, shorthanded on the screen in white, and identifies the Texas Senator as “Lyin’ Ted,” the sobriquet hung on him by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

On his best day, Cruz resembles a cross between Grandpa Munster and senator Joe McCarthy, and the effect of the ad is like watching a shifty creep be strangled by his own, bratwurst-colored colon.

A super-elongated riff of a Pinocchio meme occasionally seen in nasty campaigns, it’s attracted considerable attention among the political cognoscenti and was created for New Day for America, Kasich’s arm’s-length super PAC, by Strategic Perception Inc., the L.A.-based company founded by local man Davis.

When The Santa Barbara Independent last caught up with him, Davis had just produced “Demon Sheep,” a cult-classic rip job on Senator Barbara Boxer for unsuccessful GOP challenger Carly Fiorina. An incessant campaign trail traveler, he parachuted briefly into town this week for his granddaughter’s birthday, taking a few minutes for an email interview.

“Two things, really,” he said, when asked what among his febrile imaginings inspired the spot. “Partially that Pinocchio is simply an effective, visual way to get across that someone is not telling the truth. And, as you know, visuals are a danged efficient way to memorably communicate.

“Second, though, we as a super PAC were just tired of all the tales that [Cruz] and his campaign had been spinning. The ones mentioned in the spot, and so many more.

So, it was sort of out of our frustration that the nose grew and grew and grew … never ending.”

Although Kasich himself has been critical of the ad (independent expenditure organizations like Davis’s client legally are prohibited from communicating or coordinating with candidates or their campaigns), the consultant said the Ohio politician is far and away the most qualified—not to mention compos mentis — of the three contenders still standing.

“I think John might be the only stable person in the race,” he said,“and for sure the only one with a chance to manage our country on a calm and reliable path …

“I think Kasich himself said it best …

‘Listen, I’m running against one guy with no experience and another guy whose only experience is shutting down the government and calling the Senate Majority Leader a liar.’”

Alas, California voters may not get a chance to see Davis’s “Lyin’ Ted” ad in real time.

“Doubt it will run in California, but hard to tell. Depends a bit on funding and a bit on what happens in the three campaigns between now and June,” he wrote. “This has been the most impossible to anticipate campaign cycle of my career, making the time between April 4 and June 7 almost unfathomably long and impossible to second guess.”

It won’t surprise you that on his company’s website, Davis says the following: “If I picked what’s on my tombstone, it would be: ‘If you don’t notice it, why bother?’”

THIS JUST IN: The latest California poll,

by SurveyUSA for four big-market TV stations (1,991 registered voters, including 356 Republican primary voters) shows Trump leading Cruz and Kasich 40-32-17 percent respectively (Hillary leads Bernie 53-to-39 percent among Democrats).

Two big buts, however:

— Of those surveyed, 71 percent of California women and 75 percent of Latinos now hold a negative view of Trump.

—The Republicans’ arcane primary may work against Trump: Even if he wins statewide,

he gets only 13 convention delegates for his trouble; all the rest, except for three GOP “super-delegates,” are divvied up, three apiece to the winner in each of the state’s 53 congressional districts, a system likely to benefit Cruz’s superior campaign organization.

Kasich and Cruz in the past few days accepted invitations to speak at the California Republican Party’s state convention in San Francisco later this month, transforming what was expected to be a sleepy, if reliably entertaining, state event into a national political extravaganza. No word yet on whether n Trump will show. Speaking of liars.

Dog Man Cometh

RIP FOR RX: Like practically everyone else

in town, it seems, I, too, have been a patient of Dr. Henry Han, the much acclaimed Chinese herbalist gunned down in his home with his wife and daughter two weeks ago. I visited Han at his clinic about eight years ago when I was dealing with cancer. My mojo needed a serious infusion of juju to help me deal with the blitzkrieg of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Maybe Han could help. I wish I remembered him better. As is often the case with murder victims, Han has achieved an exalted status few enjoy while still breathing. There were so many chemicals at the time, I can only vaguely recall him. What I do remember is a quiet, kind, competent guy asking a lot of questions, intent on trying to help. In my case, Han prescribed herbal teas so nasty and stinky they’d have chased the devil out of hell. In hindsight, it’s impossible to say what effect these actually had; they certainly didn’t hurt.

Little wonder then that I would get caught up in the secondhand smoke surrounding the murder of Henry Han and his family. As with many unsolved cases, the investigation has triggered an outpouring of collective recollections from Han’s community of patients and friends. Inevitably, these are fragmentary, kaleidoscopic, and jumbled. Onto this, we insist on imposing the order of a story line to explain what may never be understood.

It is our nature. What’s struck me so far are the large number of red herrings swimming around the Han family murder, loud, rich, and gaudy characters and subplots. Inevitably, many will prove utterly incidental to the murders themselves but remain morbidly compelling nonetheless. Some might actually break the case wide open. We’ll know when we know.

First there’s the family of accused murderer Pierre Haobsh: loud, enigmatic ciphers in their own right. Haobsh’s father, Fred, we are told, was a Jordanian-born CIA asset, one of the many agents and murky middle-men who in the late 1980s helped the United States sell arms to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein under the table. Then-president Ronald Reagan, out to punish Iran, had quietly erased Iraq’s name from the do-not-sell list. Fred Haobsh has since been linked to what appears to be a phantom company, Cal Tech International, that’s posted several different Texas addresses over the years. Well after Fred’s wife, Nancy, died of cancer, Fred was listing her as the company’s CFO. Pierre, likewise, had been designated a corporate officer, though it remains a mystery what this 27-year-old has ever done except attend acting classes while living in Dallas. We don’t know how the family fared financially except that Pierre’s older sister, Nadine — a pioneering beauty blogger and self-described professional “oversharer” — graduated from Carpinteria’s Cate School

in 1998, then from Barnard College, and then got married at the Montecito Country Club.

These all suggest money.

Then there are certain characters lurking in the background of Henry Han’s life who 11 years ago faced federal criminal tax-evasion charges for their role in Reed Slatkin’s now infamous Hope Ranch Ponzi scheme in which hundreds of investors got taken for nearly $300 million. One of these players — who attended Han’s memorial service and has been quoted in news accounts of the murder — was sentenced to five years behind bars.

Earlier, he’d been prosecuted for his role in a $10 million mail-order fraud scheme in the 1980s, in which “lactic culture activator kits” were sold for $35 a pop under the false pretense to 27,000 gullible customers. The product these home kits produced would allegedly be purchased as a milk-based starter for a bogus cosmetic company called Cleopatra’s Secret. Maybe this factoid serves only to titillate. But it also sounds remarkably similar to a research effort Henry Han was pursuing prior to his death. He was trying to create a new line of cosmetics that — thanks to the deployment of stem-cell research — would actually rejuvenate the skin, not just cover it up. On Han’s desk the day he died was a canceled check from the Pasadena lab where this research was taking place and the name of a cosmetics chemist he’d hired as a consultant.

It was on another research effort that Han was much more focused right before his murder. It involved extraction of compounds known as CBDs that are found in hemp and marijuana plants. Han, like many

others, believed CBDs have great potential in treating cancer itself as well as side effects associated with its treatment. CBDs do not induce euphoria, but they stimulate appetite, fight nausea, calm anxiety, and fight pain. It appears these compounds might be effective in shrinking the tumors developed in lab mice bred to get breast cancer. Whether they can fight tumors in humans — as Han apparently believed — is the subject of three double-blind experiments now taking place in Israel, Germany, and the United States.

We do know Han was importing large quantities of hemp plants — which contain CBDs — from China and having them processed for their oils in Burma. We have reason to believe Han was experimenting on a new special formulation involving CBD-laden hemp oil and a mixture of traditional herbs. Based on interviews I’ve had with several doctors with whom Han enjoyed good relations, as well as long-term patients, Han was clearly excited he was on the verge of making a major breakthrough with this formulation shortly before he and his family were murdered. It also appears the accused killer was involved in this effort. According to secondhand reports, Pierre Haobsh was present at a meeting Han convened to solicit investors into this venture.

Han reportedly pledged to invest $400,000 of his own money. And some workers at Han’s clinic were familiar enough with Haobsh to believe him to be a researcher or lab worker in this endeavor.

In the meantime, many thanks for the tea, Henry Han, and we’ll find out what we find — Nick Welsh out.

Dale Rhodehamel Rossi 05/11/23-03/22/16

Dale Rossi, a Santa Barbara native and fifth generation Californian, died March 22, 2016, at the age of 92. Dale grew up at 21 N.Alisos Street in the home built by her late parents,Wesley and Bernice Rhodehamel, and attended Frank Franklin Elementary, Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High.While at the junior high, Dale met her future husband,Alex, and in their senior year at the high school, they served together as vice president and president of the class of 1942. They were married for sixty-nine years until his death in February 2012.

After high school Dale enrolled at Santa Barbara College (now UCSB) to pursue a degree in teaching, with a focus in home economics. She and Alex were married February 9, 1943, shortly after he enlisted in the U.S.Army Air Corps. They lived in Texas and Missouri during his training, and when they returned to Santa Barbara in 1944, Dale finished school and obtained her teaching certificate.While Alex earned his Master’s Degree in Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, Dale taught at various schools in San Pablo.

In 1957 the family, which then included sons Jon, Christopher, and Douglas, moved to Santa Monica, CA, where Dale taught home economics at Santa Monica High School.

While teaching full time, she obtained her master’s degree in education from UCLA. She then became active in the state’s vocational training programs with the conviction that, while not everyone should or needed to go to college, everyone did need skills in order to participate effectively in our society. Sending this message to Sacramento became one of her principal goals. Dale served for over 10 years as the Regional Coordinator for the California State Department of Education. This job kept her very busy, requiring frequent trips to Sacramento and to many Southern California high schools.

In the early 1980s, Dale and Alex retired to the“Ballard Adobes” near Los Olivos, CA. Dale’s father began renovating the adobes to combine the two structures into one home.

Starting in the 1960s, and thereafter, Dale and Alex continued to restore and make improvements to the property, which has since become a Santa Barbara County Historic Landmark.

THE INDEPENDENT

Dale was very proud of the Ballard Adobes and enjoyed giving tours, including one that was featured on an episode of Huell Houser’s“California Gold” television show.

Once settled in the valley, Dale became active in the Santa Ynez Historical Society and was a docent at the Museum in Santa Ynez. She also co-owned Los Olivos,Art Gallery in Los Olivos, and was a founding member of POLO, the Preservation of Los Olivos organization.

Dale was also a former board member of the Santa Ynez Historical Museum, Santa Barbara Foundation and the Santa Barbara Historical Society. In addition to local activities, Dale became very interested in genealogy and compiled a detailed history of her family, which includes her grandfather, James E. Sloan, who was elected mayor of Santa Barbara in 1919.

She was proud of the activities of her ancestors in the history of California and Santa Barbara.

During this time, she and Alex also traveled to foreign countries and very much enjoyed their trips abroad.

Dale is survived by her three sons, Jon Alexander (Patricia), Christopher Jaime (Linda) and Douglas Dale (Kimberlee). Grandchildren are Michael,Amy, Lauren, Christopher, Claire, and Kate. Great-grandchildren are Jon,West, Aubrianna,Ashley,Alex and Aja.All have been blessed by her love and leadership via example.

In accordance with Dale’s wishes, there will be no service. Those wishing to recognize the assistance and services which have helped Dale through this last year may donate to Santa Bar Barbara or Santa Ynez Cottage Hospital. Others may wish to recognize organizations she had supported: Santa Barbara Foundation, Santa Barbara Historical Society, Santa Ynez Historical Museum and St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Los Olivos.

inspiring. The number of times he missed a class due to injury, sickness, or even vacation can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Up until his last class at the age of 88, he performed all the complicated and strenuous movements in an hour-and-a-half long class.

At the age of 95, he returned to teach a 4-weeklong meditation seminar.

A large and growing Tai Chi class based upon his method continues to thrive nearly 13 years after he retired. Every time we practice his forms and meditate, his presence lives on in our body, heart and spirit.

For any who are interested, we are having a remembering of his life on Saturday,April 16, at 729 Chiquita Road at 2PM. Call Don at 9661945 for more information.

It is with both great sadness and gladness that I report Master Fu Yuan Ni’s passing at 101 years of age – sad that this man who has left such a profound effect upon so many lives has departed this realm and glad that he left on top – mentally lucid to the end and without much pain. Some suggest that he chose when to die as his wife of over 70 years had passed away just 2 months prior.A large family survives him, including 7 children and 3 great-grandchildren.

Master Ni was born in Shanghai on July 1, 1914, and died March 24, 2016. In 1973 he came to Santa Barbara to teach Tai Chi. He spent the next 40 years teaching Tai Chi, Swords, Push Hands, and Meditation to innumerable students. He was a spiritual master, as well, regularly providing us with guidance on the Path.

His dedication to his students was awe-

Saverio "Sam" Salario packed his bag and boarded the cyberspace train on February 26, 2016, bound for Camelot and other utopian destinations along the way. Saverio, son of Stefano and Teresa (LaBarbiera) Salario, was born in Tampa, Florida, on June 11, 1920. He is survived by two brothers, Joe and Luigi Salario, of Tampa, Florida. Many will mourn him, including his nieces Janet Stout Toms and Lucy Scaglione Rodriguez, nephew Steve Salario, cousins Sonny and Gigi LaBarbera, friend Gregg DeChirico, and a host of other family members, neighbors and friends.

Sam graduated Hillsborough High School, class of 1938. He served in the Coast Guard during WWII, making 28 crossings of the north Atlantic in troop transport convoys.

After the war he continued his education at the University of Houston, where he began a career in real estate and acquired many properties, allowing him to retire by the age of 56. In 1976 he moved to Santa Barbara and became an active member of the community. His creative abilities flourished in his later years as he wrote many short stories and plays, which capture the essence of his values and convey many of his observations on life's lessons.

A most magnanimous personality, Sam took an interest in everyone he met, mentor mentoring and encouraging them to excel in all aspects of life. He will be missed.

Joyce Eleanor Ewanick, known to most everyone as "Joy," died in Santa Barbara on March 23, 2016, after a year-long battle with cancer. Joy was born on Christmas Eve 1928, in Scottville, Michigan, to Ralph and Svea Bortell.

She moved to Southern California as a young bride in 1946 and was active in school and community organizations.Whether it was serving on PTA committees or volunteering on the election board, Joy always gave of her time and talents. She served as VFW Auxiliary president in her 20s and continued to contribute into her 70s as Emblem Club President at the Elks Lodge in Hemet, California. Joy was patriotic and loved to dance, and was a generous and loyal friend. She understood everything from football to finance, adored small dogs, and was creative and artistic. Dur During the several years she lived in Santa Barbara, Joy found great satisfaction learning to make ceramics at the Braille Institute after losing her sight to macular degeneration. Joy was a devoted wife and mother and is survived by her husband of 58 years, Peter Ewanick, and her children, Jack and Joan Stuster, Jeri and Lindley Hoyle, and Joel and Elizabeth Ewanick. She also leaves six grandchildren, Dana Stuster, Juliet Stuster, Cooper Hoyle,

Bob Klausner, a civic leader, political advocate, and philanthropist departed this world on Sunday, March 27, after years of failing health, surrounded by his family. He left behind the love of his life, wife Betty Klausner, children Mimi (Kim), Drew and Kathy, their partners, Susan Stryker, Susan Klausner and Beni Strebel, brother Bill and family, Kampan, Boon Song and Khem, major domo and close friend Virginia Ribeiro, brother-in-law Clay Tedeschi, his Miller cousins, grandchildren Guston Sondin-Kung, Olive Sondin-Klausner, Noah Chasnoff, Max Strebel, Emma Strebel and Oscar Klausner, great-grandchild Theodore, cousin Leslie Steinmetz and a large group of devoted friends.

Bob was born October 4, 1926, and raised by parents David and Mickey (Miller) Klausner in Jersey City, New Jersey. He graduated from Yale University through the Navy’s V-12 program and served in the Navy from 1950 to 1952. He moved to Manhattan when he mar married Betty in 1950. Bob raised his family while working in sales for H.Warshow and Sons, a textile company manufacturing fabrics for girdles, bras and swimsuits.

Bob, Betty and Kathy moved to Santa Barbara in 1973.After spending the first half of his adult life in business, Bob was determined to spend the second half of his life leaving the world a better place than he found it.

He became deeply involved in community environmental issues such as offshore oil production, recycling, conservation, and land use. He mentored many political reformers and worked to keep local and regional governments accountable to their citizens.

He purchased the Balboa Building on State Street and managed the property between his political work, long walks in the Santa Ynez Mountains, playing tennis and traveling the world with Betty.

At Betty's insistence, Bob moved with her in 1993 from his beloved Santa Barbara to San Francisco, where all their children and grandchildren were then living. He continued applying his business sense, analytical skills and philanthropic vision to a variety of projects, including community mediation, investigative journalism, grand jury investigations, supporting progressive Democratic political candidates, and campaign finance reform.

Bob’s world began to crumble when Betty started showing signs of Alzheimer’s in 2006, and he could no longer recognize the woman with whom he had spent 60 glorious years.

Eventually his own dementia made it difficult to undertake new public projects, and he gradually withdrew into increasingly intimate circles of friends and family.

Bob Klausner lived his life according to the values instilled in him by his parents, and

ttempting to govern a country grounded on political ideology alone — left or right — is at the very least pure laziness and at the very worst a clear betrayal of the people our politicians were elected to serve. No wonder Congress has been called “donothing” and its approval ratings languish around 15 percent.

A recent “Democratic Party Platform of Principles and Values” statement reads, “In America hard work should pay off, and responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.” Likewise, the very conservative Republican Liberty Caucus has written a “Statement of Principles and Positions” that includes,“Every individual has the right to the fruits of their labor and the responsibility to support themselves and their families.”

Keeping “responsibility” in mind as a shared value and considering how government can increase the self-reliance of all its citizens seems like a worthwhile place for our leaders to begin bridging the partisan gap.

It might also go a long way to restore pride in Congress and move this country forward again.

limate change is a reality caused by overpopulation and burning fossil fuels. As more people migrate to a better living environment, like Santa Barbara, we must encourage the preservation of our natural resources. One solution is to require every real estate transaction to include installing a solar-powered system, by either buyer or seller, to move our community away from burning polluting fuels.

Santa Barbara is considered a model for environmental consciousness. Let’s preserve our beautiful natural environment.

he Karen Flores parking ticket embezzler story [independent.com/karenflores] reminded me of some important advice my father gave me:“Never steal unless it’s more than a million.” If he were alive today, he might add: “And don’t embezzle from the Police Department” and also “If you get caught, don’t waste your breath telling folks your psychological problems made you do it.”

We don’t care — not the ones who’ve gotten tickets, certainly not the ones who may have lost jobs because of the lack of funds.

If she had been a member of my family, she would have known better than to only steal thousands. The two years would have been worth it.

Elizabeth was born in Santa Barbara to Mary Elizabeth Reddin and Bowen Franklin Reddin Jr. (deceased). She graduated from Dos Pueblos High School class of 1978, where she was drill team captain (leading them to a National Championship win), and a member of the swim team. She later attended City College. She was an accountant at Dripcut and was controller at Moss Motors of Goleta.

Elizabeth Joy was a beautiful soul—childlike, gentle and playful. She loved animals, flowers and little kids, and delighted in her 5 nieces; Naomi, Robin,Angela, Genette and Mackenzie; 3 nephews; Eric, Caleb and Ethan; 3 great nieces and 9 great nephews.

Lizzie was stylish and artistic and enjoyed decorating and party planning. She always had music playing and danced to the latest hits. She was fun-loving and had a generous laugh and a great sense of humor. Empathetic, compassionate and deeply spiritual, her real gift was her sensitivity to others. She was full of wonder for the natural world and had a lifelong curiosity in science and medicine. She would be pleased that her organ donation through OneLegacy has benefited others and eased their suffering. Our heartfelt thanks go to the excellent team of S-ICU nurses and doctors at Cottage Hospital.

She is survived by her mother, Mary; 3 sisters, Sharon Iverson and husband Ron, Rebecca Reddin and Valerie Davis and her three brothers, Roy Reddin and wife Karen, Thomas Reddin and wife Judy, and Bowen Reddin.

Donations may be made in her memory to Mainstream of Phoenix House and the Humane Society.

What If There Wasn’t a Cachuma?

bara County folks pray for Cachuma to spill, imagine what life would be without it.

Miles of Goleta tract houses might not exist, nor even UCSB, or much more that we take for granted.

Back in the late 1940s, with the City of Santa Barbara imposing rationing, the fiercest political battle in county history raged: Whether to approve what opponents dubbed “that damn dam.”

Opponents, led by the owner of many acres around the Santa Ynez Valley site, Lewis Welch, who wanted to develop it, hurled angry shells at the federal project: It was a “socialist” New Deal boondoggle.

The lake would never fill, and the dam would never spill. It was a government grab to control local water. It was impossibly, outrageously expensive. It was a theft of Santa Ynez and Lompoc Valley water (echoes of which are still heard).

But proponents had a mighty champion on their side, one with powerful connections in Washington, D.C.: T.M. Storke, owner and publisher of the Santa Barbara News-Press.

T.M., arguably more powerful than any mayor or county supervisor, had long held a paternalist view of Santa Barbara’s destiny.

Thanks to his Washington connections, he was able to bring Depression-era projects and jobs to Santa Barbara. It helped that he was a

project, involving all the water agencies aiming to get hookups. A simple majority in favor wouldn’t be enough.

It would take an overwhelming vote to convince budget makers back in Washington.

The vote in favor was overwhelming, and the project was green-lighted in Washington.

Ground was broken in August 1950, and not a moment too soon. Water for entire communities, including Isla Vista and RAINMAKER: With the power of the press and politicians behind him, the Ocean Terrace area, had to T.M.

For years, growth had slowed dramatically, In 1938, the governor appointed him to fill but in the late 1950s the South Coast began out the unexpired term of his ailing friend, experiencing a strong wave of growth.

Finally, Welch “resorted to every trick known to the wait was over. Santa Barbara County was politics … ” Storke wrote in his 1958 memoir, hit by powerful rainstorms and even floods.

sirens went off, and Storke, 81, proudly posed holding a large clock with its hands pointing to the historic moment.

Today, we await a latter-day spill, but we’re armed with confidence that the notso-damned dam will spill life-giving H2O to hundreds of thousands of people who probably wouldn’t be here without Cachuma.

Cachuma water, piped through the Santa Ynez range of mountains, led to a building boom in Goleta as the 1960s dawned. Lemon orchards were bulldozed, replaced by tract houses. Landowners harvested dollars instead of citrus.

When I bought a brand-new Goleta home in 1960 and planted a lawn, a volunteer lemon tree sprouted. Goleta started building a school a year.

Isla Vista, responding to fast-building UCSB, became what people called “a student ghetto” of apartment buildings, along with the resulting problems of too many people jammed together and too little local government.

UCSB, located there with the help of — who else? T.M. Storke — became a cultural and educational boon to the community. My wife earned her teaching credential there, and three of my children went on to get degrees.

Storke, respected by many but hated by some, is gone, but not a man to be forgotten.

“You feel very alive when dancing,” said Alick Xu, current president of UCSBreakin’, the campus breakdancing club that was founded in 2010. “It’s combining an adrenaline rush and fitness into one, and you can push your limits so far.”The club’s more than 20 active members practice their moves twice a week at Robertson Gym along with unofficial sessions that they announce through social media.

After creating an audition video, the team was chosen to participate in Schools for Fools, an intercollegiate breaking competition that takes place this Saturday, April 9, in Pomona. These B-boys (and girls) will put their skills to the test against groups from 12 different colleges.

oday, thrill seekers flock to the Santa Barbara County Fair in Santa Maria for attractions such as the carnival rides and destruction derby. But when dairy was queen in the rural S.B. county town, fairgoers got their kicks the old-fashioned way: at the fair’s Dairy Day cowmilking and milk-canrolling contests.

“One of the dairymen would demonstrate how to milk a cow and how to roll a milk can,” recounts Laura Lee Tognazzini Dias in her book, The Purple Cow: A Dairy Daughter’s Heritage.

“There was always a lot of laughter watching people attempt to milk a cow.

Everyone would find that it was more difficult than they thought it would be.”

Published in 2015 by Janaway Publishing Inc. for the Santa Maria Valley Historical Society, The Purple Cow chronicles the once-booming dairy industry in the Santa Maria Valley from the late 1800s to the late 1900s, Laura Lee Tognazzini Dias when the region was filled with family-owned dairy farms, all with unique histories. Tognazzini Dias, now a retired schoolteacher, is the titular “Dairy Daughter” of one of those families.

One of three children, she grew up on Sunset Laguna Dairy Farm, which was owned by her parents, Arthur and Mary Tognazzini, and located on land purchased in 1876 by Arthur’s grandfather Antonio Pietro Tognazzini.

The book came about when Cindy Ransick, curator of the Santa Maria Valley Historical Society Museum, started asking old dairy families for someone to write about dairies in the Santa Maria Valley. The families pointed to Tognazzini Dias. “I hunted her down,” said Ransick.

Tognazzini Dias went on to write The Purple Cow with help from the historical society and approximately 70 dairy families. The book is filled with their stories and the history of Santa Maria Valley’s now-defunct dairy industry, along with myriad photos, maps, and newspaper articles.

“We looked for someone who experienced it all, more or less,” said Ransick of the book’s author. “She grew up on a dairy farm … this is her heritage, so this was her life.”

ince taking off in 2000, the Ojai Raptor Center (ORC) has always had a simple goal: rehab and release birds of prey. But thanks to the ongoing drought, that goal has become more dif difficult to achieve.

“If there’s no water, then there’s no prey,” said ORC founder Kim Stroud, who leads a small staff and large band of volunteers in a constant quest for a reliable prey base. “So animals are migrating into cities because we water in town. Birds adapt to living in towns very well, so we’re going WINGED RECOVERY: The Ojai Raptor Center’s Kim Stroud holds a prairie falcon. to have babies in the spring in towns, unfortunately.”

The busiest times of the year are fall into winter, The ORC costs around $12,000 a day to run and takes in around 500-1,000 hawks, falcons, owls, when raptors are migrating through the region, and and eagles a year, along with a small percentage of in the spring, when chicks are born and nests are non-raptor birds and mammals. Most of these sick, active. That’s when the center sees lots of orphans starving, or injured animals arrive from anywhere from resident raptors.

“It’s feeding, cleaning, rearing, and releasing,” said between Thousand Oaks and Santa Barbara and are eventually released back into the wild whenever Stroud. “It’s dawn until after dark every day in the possible. When releasing the raptors, the ORC is spring.”

— Chuck Graham permitted to band them, which provides data if and The Ojai Raptor Center is not open to the public but hosts when they return.

Fallen Officer Memorial Project The Santa Barbara Police Department’s Fallen Officer Memorial Project will honor the five S.B.P.D. Officers – H. Thomas Guerry, Henry Evans, Clarence Jensen, Ronald Wainscott, and Richard Williams – who have given the ultimate sacrifice protecting the safety and freedoms of our community.

The Fallen Officers Memorial will include a life size bronze sculpture (depicted above) designed by renowned Santa Barbara artist Bud Bottoms, symbolizing commitment, service, sacrifice and community, and will be engraved with the names of the five fallen officers. The Santa Barbara Police Department front walkway was selected as the site for the memorial so that everyone who walks up the steps will pass by the honorary location.

This project is 100 percent privately funded, so donations are needed to help to bring the Fallen Officer Memorial to fruition. Donor names will be added to an honor roll inside the police station. Those giving $1,500 or more will have their names displayed with the memorial and those contributing $5,000 or more will also receive a special gift: a bronze centerpiece replica of the sculpture.

Please visit www.gofundme.com/sbpdmemorial for details and to contribute online. Or mail checks payable to City of Santa Barbara Police Officer’s Memorial Fund (include name, address, phone, email address & name as you would like it to appear on the memorial) to: Fallen Officers Memorial Fund, Santa Barbara Police Department 215 East Figueroa Street • Santa Barbara, CA 93101 805-897-2320

he greater Santa Barbara fashion scene has been privileged by the proximity of Ojai’s In the Field (730 E. Ojai Ave., Ojai; [310] 403-4292; inthefieldojai.com), a hip shop whose owners have quickly made it a style haven for artsy surfers and modern mountain gypsies.

“We definitely had incredible faith that there were people here that would understand what we were doing and wanted the same product that we live with,” says Bianca Roe, an Ojai tastemaker and former high-end fashion model who co-owns the store with her actor husband, Channon Roe. On certain nights, there may even be an insiders’ party underway, where connected parents and their styled youngsters show up in the designated party wardrobe — the shop’s offerings, which are inspired by the couple’s peripatetic adventures — for an open-bar beer by the fire pit.

Other partygoers filter through the shop’s colorful California-native wool shawls, high-end surfboard selections, or Moroccan vintage pieces while catching up with long-held friends.

“I think people are having an enjoyable experience. They like to feel creative,” explains Bianca Roe of her customers’ response to the store’s selection of eclectic staples such as Ulla Johnson, Raquel Allegra, Black Crane, and hand-picked vintage. “Because of our travels and because we piece together old and new, it has a level of freedom to it.”

These days, Roe focuses on bringing her patrons her styling expertise.

“Let’s have fun with it,” she will say as she introduces them to a silhouette they might not expect works on them. “If someone comes in and they don’t know what to wear, I have an absolute ball helping them out.”

And the men are not snubbed with the token “husband’s chair” at the entrance. “Our men’s clothing [selection] is huge,” explains Roe of the many male customers who pilgrimage to In the Field for designers such as Mister Freedom, Apolis, and Birdwell Beach Britches.

Roe adds that in all her buying, she tries to select quality, consciously made lines. “It’s actually incredibly important to the community,” she says. “It takes a lot more discipline, but we are really trying hard to keep manufacturing mindful.”

One visiting customer seems to prove that the extra effort is paying off by summing up her affection for the Ojai shop. “I just come here to be happy,” she says.

How Trump Can Win Back Women Voters

D

ear Mr. Trump, You’re having trouble with women voters, and I just can’t stand it. A man with your confidence, your money, your charisma should be mopping the floor with the weaker sex. You’re a prime-time TV star! You’ve owned casinos, airlines, your own line of vodka. If you didn’t invent suave, then I’m sure you at least went bankrupt trying.

But your worries are over. I’m here to help you win over the broads.

Like you, I’m known for speaking the plain truth: no mincing words, no pussyfooting. And I know a bottom-feeder — sorry! — I mean a brilliant leader when I see one, so I’m going to tell you how to get those surly, squawking suffragettes down on their knees begging The Donald to Make America Great Again™. Are you with me, big guy? Let’s do this!

First off, what you’re doing right: When you refer to yourself as Donald Trump, it’s 100 percent adorable. Women love it when men talk about themselves, or their genitals, in the third person. Plus, we don’t hear your name much on the radio these days, or on television, or spewing forth from the mouths of our sweet children.

So KEEP SHOUTING IT! Yay! Also, huge props for referring to journalist Megyn Kelly as having “blood spewing from her … wherever.”

Here’s a little secret: Deep down, we crave a man who dismisses our rational arguments as menstrual hysteria. We do. But listen, save some of that snark in case you wind up debating Clinton.

When she yammers on about not outsourcing Middle East security to dictators blah blah blah, you just look right email: starshine@roshell.com into the camera, purse those pretty lips of yours, and spit, “Uh-oh. Did someone forgot to take her estrogen pills this morning?” #WINNING! Next, I want to see Big Daddy Trump come out to play. Remember that terrific interview you did with Howard Stern back in 2005 when you said you love having kids, but you “don’t do anything to take care of them” except “supply funds”? American moms really appreciate a man’s man who knows his place in the family, and recognizes his weaknesses. Nobody wants to see Donald Trump cleaning diaper cream from under his fingernails when there are Miss U.S.A. contestants out there who need personal screening, right? I know I don’t.

Speaking of beauty queens, don’t hold back on disparaging the faces of rival female candidates and male candidates’ wives. Lady voters wish commanders-in-chief would spend less time musing about ISIS and more time rating the appearance of female public figures on a scale of 1 to 10. Make no mistake: This is what we care about. You’re in a unique position to win us over because you’re surrounded by hotties, from your meow-inducing missus to your daughter Ivanka, whom you’ve said has “the best body.” (Did you “supply funds” for that rack?

Well spent, sir!) You’ve said you might be dating Ivanka if she weren’t your child and, hoo-boy, I hear ya. I might be dating her if she weren’t your child, too.

Actually, in order to fully own the “beautiful” square on the election grid, would you consider announcing Kim Kardashian as your Supreme Court nominee? Think about it: She’s the female Trump; people love to hate her, and they have no idea why she has money or what she does all day. Plus Kanye could help her with the hard cases.

Finally, and just hear me out here, I feel as if you’ve strayed too far from outspoken ’90s Trump, who told New York Magazine, “Women: You have to treat them like s---.” You’ve softened, lost your edge. If you want to remind the nation that you’re your own man who doesn’t cave to public pressure, while showing women voters who’s boss, then there’s really only one outstanding choice for your running mate: Bill Cosby.

Do it. Be a man. And go get ’em, tiger.

Couple eyes olympiC Gold

pring training has begun in Santa Barbara for Olympic gold-medal hopefuls Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton, the power cou-

ple of track and field. Outside of Oregon, where the sport is a big deal, they are hardly recognized, even though they have People magazine looks. Empty celebrity is not their thing. They want to be as genuine as the hurdles, jumps, throws, and all those laps they’ve been running the past decade.

“It’s cool to tell people about us and what we do, [but] how does that help people? Why should people care?”

Theisen-Eaton said at a fundraiser for the Santa Barbara Track Club (SBTC) last Sunday. “You’re constantly talking about yourself, and it doesn’t feel like people are getting anything out of it.” Eaton, the defending Olympic decathlon champion, went so far as to tell his wife, “They just want to know what I do, and I think that’s boring.”

So the computer-savvy couple turned things around by reaching out to fans through their website (weareeaton.com) and asking them: What is it that you do? What are your goals, your struggles, your breakthroughs? They invite people to upload their answers in text, images, and videos, tagging them #What’sYourGold. The idea is to show that everybody has to persevere through ups and downs, even gifted athletes.

“We aren’t perfect,” Theisen-Eaton said.“We struggle.”

S.B. Athletic Round tABle:

Athletes of the Week Madison McNamee, SBCC softball The freshman from Lompoc pitched a perfect game in a 13-0 win at Oxnard, striking out 10 of 15 batters in the five-inning game and going 2-2 at the plate with three RBIs. Robert Warren, Carpinteria baseball He shook off an accidental beaning by his catcher and threw a completegame victory against Channel Islands.

Next day, he had four hits against Hueneme, as the Warriors went 4-0 in the Santa Paula Tournament.

Jade Sinskul, Dos Pueblos softball The senior catcher hit a home run and a game-winning double in a 4-3 victory over San Marcos, also blocking the plate for a putout in the sixth inning.

The Canadian Olympic athlete had a breakthrough at last month’s World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon, winning her first international gold medal in the pentathlon. Barbara Nwaba of the SBTC finished fourth. Nwaba, the defending U.S. champion in the outdoor heptathlon, hopes to be competing with Theisen-Eaton at the Rio Summer Games. History could be made if both Eatons win gold medals — something never before accomplished by a husband and wife from different countries.

The SBTC hosted the fifth annual Sam Adams

want to hear about other people’s stories. lege last weekend. The club’s own Thomas FitzSimons Jr. won the decathlon (7,576 points), and Lindsay Schwartz won the heptathlon (5,991). Eaton gave the discus a fling (42.60 meters, 1399), and Nwaba set a new personal best in the javelin throw (50.40, 1654¼).

A CLASSY START: “Hi, everybody, and a

very pleasant Monday afternoon to you.”

So began Vin Scully’s 67th and last season announcing Dodgers baseball. He flawlessly described the action through my portable radio, sounding much the same as he did at my bedside in 1958. After the third inning, with the Dodgers leading San Diego 3-0, Scully said,“That’ll do it for me today,” and turned the mike over to Charley Steiner and Rick Monday. It’s going to be a year of nostalgic weaning, three innings at a time.

NEXT GEN: Santa Barbara’s Barbara Nwaba, the U.S. heptathlon champion, signs autographs for (left to right) Harper Wolfe-Lyons, her sister Phoebe, and friend Makenzie Fauver.

A CLASSIC FINISH: Wow. The degree of difficulty of Marcus Paige’s game-tying three-pointer for North Carolina was topped by the degree of drama when Kris Jenkins

sank his game-winning buzzer-beater for Villanova. It will go down as the greatest final five seconds in the mythology of March Madness.

“Dewey Defeats Truman” headline (it’s written before the NCAA women’s basketball final), but it’s as much of a sure thing as any outcome in sports. UConn’s latest postseason rampage heightens my appreciation of the UCSB team that faced the Huskies in the Sweet 16 in 2004. The Gauchos made a crowd of 14,000 in Hartford very nervous before UConn pulled out a 63-55 victory. The next closest Sweet 16 game for Coach Geno Auriemma’s fierce femmes during a championship season was a 19-point win over BYU. This year, the margin was 60 (98-38) over Mississippi State.

Bacara’s Food & Wine Weekend

Cooking Class Walker, Paleo Ranger

courtesy

t’s impossible to know what Julia Child would make of today’s hipster-celebrity chef motif, but it’s certain that she would love how much food culture is under a bright spotlight. We know that because, before passing away in her home at Montecito’s Casa Dorinda in 2004, she created The Julia Child Foundation with the explicit goal of elevating the world’s culinary knowledge, specifically through supporting student-chefs, food historians, and programs that help all ages improve their food literacy. “We provide grants to other nonprofits in the fields of gastronomy and the culinary arts,” explained the foundation’s Todd Schulkin.“Hopefully people grow up to be better eaters and better cooks.”

But a few years into that mission, the foundation realized it needed a more public face, as well. “The foundation is run quite virtually, but technically our headquarters are in Santa Barbara, and we definitely consider that our spiritual home,” said Schulkin, who lives in London.“We were looking for something more centered in Santa Barbara,

She may eat like a caveman, but Danielle Walker’s paleo recipes are anything but primitive.

So what exactly is paleo cooking? Created in 1975 by Walter Voegtlin, the Paleolithic diet (a k a “caveman ” or “stone-age” diet) utilizes foods that post-Neolithic Revolution humans are presumed to have consumed: fruits, vegetables, roots, nuts, and meat.

That excludes grains, gluten, sugar, dairy products, legumes, processed oils, salt, and (sorry, Danielle Walker hipsters!) coffee and alcohol.

Like a culinary Tim Burton, Walker doesn’t merely replicate a traditional dish; she “re-imagines” it. Omitting dairy and sugar doesn’t have to mean obliterating taste, according to Walker, who has done wonders with this otherwise atonal cuisine, conjuring up everything from beef stroganoff to Asian fare. People attending Walker’s Bacara’s demonstration will learn to prepare lamb gyro pasta, with spiralized noodles made from zucchini.

A sensei of sensible cooking, Walker has a backstory as dramatic as a Grey’s Anatomy episode. For months, she had suffered drastic weight loss, joint pain, malnutrition, and countless doctor visits before being diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis, which begot multiple hospitalizations and blood transfusions due to low hemoglobin levels.

Facing surgery or an off-putting lifelong treatment, Walker successfully engineered a diet that yielded results. Then she began developing flavors and textures.

After Walker shared her recipes on her Against All Grain blog, they began resonating with foodies suffering from allergies and autoimmune diseases. Her online success (729,339 Facebook likes can’t be wrong!) led her debut cookbook to log more than 60 weeks on the New York Times Best-Sellers list in 2013 and inspire a 2014 sequel. (Her third drops this September.)

Though it was a medical nightmare that led Walker to adopt it, paleo offers benefits for the average person.“People on this diet tend to have more energy, and they sleep better,” Walker said.

Paleo has improved her system, although she does not sugar … um, honey coat it: “I’ve had ups and downs. I have not been in the hospital since 2010, which is a huge accomplishment.”

with the public involved, that would be the kind of event that Julia would want to go to and enjoy — rather than something all about Julia, which she would have skipped.”

Around that time, the folks at the Bacara Resort approached Schulkin with a food festival idea that seemed right up Child’s alley, a weekend that combined great eats with cooking classes, informative panels of experts, and more. “Bacara embraced that spirit,” said Schulkin, so now The Julia Child Foundation is the beneficiary of the Santa Barbara Food & Wine Weekend, which goes down for the third year April 15-17.

It kicks off on Friday night with some highlight reel footage of Child followed by a panel discussion between John Gray of the National Museum of American History (home to Julia Child’s kitchen), food journalist Russ Parsons, and Schulkin himself.

Saturday’s menu includes more talks, classes, and meals, and Sunday features a walkaround tasting with multiple purveyors. See bacaraculinaryweekend.com for all prices and pass opportunities.

— Matt Kettmann In a past professional life, Walker worked as a CEO’s executive assistant. So how does it feel to be the CEO of her own successful company? “It’s very nice to have more time at home for my family,” she said. “I’m doing something I’m passionate about and helping hundreds of thousands of people.”

Celeb Chef Lunch Zoe Nathan: Famously Down-to-Earth After studying in New York and working at Jardinière and Tartine Bakery in San Francisco, baker extraordinaire Zoe Nathan moved back to her native Santa Monica, where she fell in love with Rustic Canyon Wine Bar owner Josh Loeb after their moms, who are book-club buddies, set them up. Then the couple set about building one of Los Angeles’ most formidable yet down-to-earth restaurant empires, opening Huckleberry Bakery & Café in 2009, followed by Sweet Rose Creamery, Milo & Olive, Cassia, and Esters Wine Shop & Bar, which opened in the summer of 2015.

Nathan and Loeb are bringing that energy to Food & Wine Weekend on April 16, when they’re preparing a six-dish lunch featuring roast chicken, braised brisket, spring mac and cheese, strawberry pie, and more. Though she laments not visiting Santa Barbara more, Nathan did check out the Funk Zone while researching Esters and found that we’ve “become really a pretty awesome food community.”

A mother of three, Nathan usually turns down off-site cooking events like this one, but Loeb was adamant, so she’s excited to get away. “My husband and I like to Zoe Nathan and Josh Loeb make space in the world, and hopefully it will be a fun space where people eat too much and hopefully drink too much in the middle of the day,” she said.“I don’t know if we can teach them anything. We can feed them, get them tipsy, and call you an Uber. That’s what we can do for the world.”

And that, thankfully, is about all anyone will be seeking that afternoon.

Freeze Your Fat Away & Get Beach Ready with

Real Results for Both Men & Women

The scoop: At the ripe age of 26, Martinez is already running his modern but rustic restaurant. Taking cues from the landscape around him, Martinez forages for native plants such as wood sorrel, bay leaf, and acorns.

He also supports hometown purveyors like Winfield Farm, which raises heritage-breed Mangalica pigs, known for their fatty, marbled meat. He’s able to incorporate Chumash traditions into dishes like oak tagliatelle and grilled chicken, but with a modern spin. “I am inspired by things people know,” said Martinez.

“I want to reinterpret traditional dishes and elevate them.” 205 W. Canon Perdido St., 963-9591, barbareno.com.

Nestled in the hipster haven on the corner of Haley and Laguna streets known as The Mill, Wildwood Kitchen is generating generous buzz around town for its artisan barbecue, most nights selling out of its popular dry-rubbed brisket and ’cue-glazed, fall-offthe-bone pork ribs. (We luckily got in our orders of both right before they ran out.) One must-try that is less subject to the volatile meat market is the Frito Pie. What polite society would classify as “comfort food,” this munchie medley off Wildwood’s starter menu mixes house-made chili, cheese, tender chunks of chopped meat (whatever’s not sold out yet when you order, presumably), and, of course, the titular chip, all served in the telltale red-andyellow bag that’s littered dorm-room floors for time immemorial. Garnished with a hearty dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions, it’s part chili-cheese fry, part nacho, and all good, bro. $13. 410 E. Haley St., 845-3995, wildwoodkitchensb.com.

Tenure: Cofounded the downtown but offState Street restaurant in the fall of 2014.

Résumé: Since starting his career under the direction of Kim Schiffer at the Santa Barbara Club, Martinez worked at Napa notables The French Laundry and The Thomas, Wexler’s in San Francisco, and Doc’s of the Bay in Oakland.

Dish he digs: Santa Maria BBQ, which features red-oak-roasted tri-tip, pico de gallo, and pinquito beans. “The term Barbareño really defines Santa Barbara,” he said. “Simple and straightforward, the beans are only grown in Lompoc, and we smoke on local red oak, then cook overnight for 12 hours. ”

Santa Barbara’s original artisanal pizzeria

Not so long ago, Chris Burmeister, the bartending chief of the Good Bar at the Goodland Hotel in Goleta, was a mixologist in San Diego, where he met a fiery red-headed girl from Ireland or Scotland named Loretta. She drank Johnnie Walker all the time, so when it was time for Burmeister to design his own drinks, the Red-Headed Loretta was born, loaded with Johnnie Walker Red, Amontillado sherry, apricot brandy, and orange bitters. It’s boozy but ever so smooth, and its ingredients alone landed Burmeister in the finals of the Diageo World Class cocktail championships. So on April 12, Burmeister must head to Honolulu to endure three rounds of cocktailing, from connecting a booze brand with a historical figure to a dealer’s choice combo round (random liquor + style + flavor profile) to a speed battle. Wish him luck, best done over one of these Lorettas.

Bad JEws

ETc Brings acclaimed comedy to ThE nEw Vic

T

he death of a loved one can certainly bring a family together — sometimes close enough to come to blows! At the New Vic on April 14, Ensemble Theatre Company presents Joshua Harmon’s Bad Jews, a play that brings two volatile members of the Feygenbaum family face to face and head to head as they vie for one of their late grandfather’s treasured religious artifacts. Directed by Jonathan Fox, Bad Jews is a razor-sharp comedy with a mean streak that pits cousins Daphna and Liam against each other in a battle of wills designed to secure one of them the spoils of their grandfather’s will.

The object in question is a necklace featuring the chai symbol, which represents the Hebrew word for life. Best known to the goyim in the context of the toast,“l’chaim!” the chai charm on Grandpa’s necklace, which he kept safely hidden under his tongue while imprisoned in a concentration camp, is an important relic that symbolizes both family and faith — one that both cousins feel they deserve. Daphna, who considers herself the most devout of her family members (she even has a plan to attend rabbinical school in Israel), feels her right to the necklace should be respected

by her less religious cousins, Liam and Jonah.

The scene of the battle royale is a tiny Manhattan apartment: Liam misses the funeral due to a lost iPhone and arrives at Daphna’s flat with his secular girlfriend, Melody. Melody is not the only casualty of the war between cousins; Liam’s younger brother, Jonah, is also caught in the cross fire of Daphna’s acerbic accusations regarding Liam’s milquetoast approach to Judaism; and Liam’s derisive responses to Daphna’s disdain.

After the run in Santa Barbara, Ensemble plans to take the production to Germany with the English Theatre Frankfurt.

“It’s exciting to be taking ETC’s production of Bad Jews to Germany for its premiere,” said director Fox, who is also Ensemble’s artistic director. “The play presents interesting challenges, not least of which is its title, which is how nonobservant Jews often refer to themselves. But I think the play speaks to the thorny dynamics within all families, and speaks in a very funny way.”

Ensemble’s production features Eden Malyn as Daphna, playing opposite Adam Silver as Liam. Jonah, the long-suffering little brother who’s been crashing in Daph-

A good time to put on Eric Bachmann’s eponymous new album might be in the penultimate hours of a long road trip, the inward-looking sundowner hours where the fatigue syrups upon you. It’s heartfelt, somewhat sleepy classic rock, intimate and yearning with a sense of plaintive protest. The slowly swaying slide guitar on opener “Belong to You” makes for a lovely beginning, while the trickling piano lines on “Masters of the Deal” pass prettily and smilingly like speckling water bodies seen from your car.

Some songs, such as “Separation Fright,” have a few refrains too many, but for the most part, it’s a pleasant and softly poignant set.

na’s apartment, is played by Cory Kahane, who recently performed the role at Chicago’s Theater Wit, Royal George Theatre, and North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. Hapless Melody, unprepared for the intensity of the Feygenbaum family dynamic, is played by Stephanie Burden.

Bad Jews has become a widely popular comedy in the last several years and has been garnering positive reviews in major cities. Playwright Harmon was inspired to write the play after attending a service that featured speakers whose family members were concentration camp survivors.

He wrote the play but wasn’t sure of its viability until he had members of his own family perform an impromptu reading at the kitchen table. It was then that he recognized the crescendos and diminuendos of the narrative—and the important messages the play conveyed. Beyond the delightfully malicious infighting of a highstrung New York family, Bad Jews explores grief and the importance of faith and family legacy.

Bad Jews runs Wednesdays-Sundays, April 14-May 1, at the New Vic (33 W. Victoria St.). Call 965-5400 or see ensemble theatre.com.

Explosions in ThE sky ThE WildErnEss

Five years and three full-length film soundtracks after their last album, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care, Austin post-rock outfit Explosions in the Sky has tweaked its sound in a significant, refreshing way. Added are electronic textures that crumple and pulsate, like on the title track, “Wilderness,” and on the disjointed interlocking melodies of “Logic of a Dream.” The circular and syncopated guitar parts that defined their music in the past are still there, such as in the aptly titled “Infinite Orbit,” but rich chords that convey a sense of vastness are more striking. The Wilderness is conservatively experimental and atmospheric, albeit a paradox of ambient music that demands attention.

Leokane Pryor PLays soho When Leokane Pryor comes back to town, so does a little piece of Hawai‘i. Pryor lived in Santa Barbara from 1998-2004, and while here he began his career in Hawaiian music. Life eventually took him, not surprisingly, to isolated and beautiful Hāna, Maui, where he continues to live and record songs that feature his ukulele playing and pure, gorgeous falsetto.

Pryor brings his band back home to play SOhO Restaurant & Music Club on April 8, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

“The world is a turbulent place right now, all the more reason to spread a little aloha out in the world,” Pryor said. “We want to bring that real authentic, relaxed Hawaiian-Ono-music kind of vibe. A simple, sweet, very organic kind of energy.”

Performers will include fellow singer and ukulele player CJ Helekahi. Pryor and Helekahi play on each other’s solo albums and in 2013 released a duet album called No Ka Pueo. “Our show is really the expression of he and I — two solo artists coming together and playing with music and really pairing,” Pryor said. They’ll be joined by Hāna-based bassist Boise Kawaiaea.

Los Angeleno Jim Kimo West, will play an opening set of beautiful slack key kī hō’alu music, including songs off his new CD Guitar Stories.

Pryor was born and raised in the Mānoa Valley in the island of O’ahu, but his family had deep roots in the Hāna area, on the jungle-y northeast coast of Maui. His first release in 2000 received wide radio play in Hawai‘i, and in 2008, he released an homage to his Hāna home called Home Malanai Malanai, named after the area where he now lives.

At SOhO, the band will play selections from both of Pryor and Helekahi’s solo albums, their duet album, and what Pryor calls “some surprises.” Their four-stop Southern California run is called the Songs of Hāna Maui tour because many of the songs will reference Hāna, one of the few still largely undeveloped areas in Hawai‘i. “We’re going to create a feeling of a Hāna backyard barbecue, very relaxed,” Pryor said.

The SpiriT of DAncE

E

very dancer has an intimate story regaling their first visit to the theater; that monumental occasion when the light was tripped fantastic, the background dimmed, and the only thing in focus was dance. For Inglewood, California, native and Alvin Ailey principal dancer Matthew Rushing, that life-altering day came in the spring of 1987, when his mother shuffled him over to the Wiltern Theatre in the hopes of securing a pair of stray tickets to the Ailey company’s sold-out performance. Her tenacity paid off, and the two found themselves inside of a packed theater, watching the company’s most critically acclaimed work, “Revelations,” unfold in a magnificent flurry.

“I connected with everything about that performance,” Rushing recounted in a recent phone interview with The Independent. “Not only did I leave that show knowing I wanted to become a dancer, but that I wanted to dance for Alvin Ailey.”

In 1992, he did just that, becoming one of the youngest dancers to be invited into the organization’s main company at the age of 18, and spending the next 24 years touring venues both modest and majestic. “‘Dance came from the people and should be delivered back to the people’ is Ailey’s mantra,” Rushing stressed,“and each year I get it more and more. It’s about going to places you’ve never been before and introducing Ailey to audiences who may have never seen this kind of work before. This should not be an elitist art form.”

Now 42, Rushing has been hailed as one of the most prolific modern dancers of our time, stylizing various hats within the organization including choreographer, principal dancer, rehearsal director, and company advocate. In 2013, when Ailey’s artistic director, Robert Battle, hosted a tribute in his honor to an overflowing house at City Center, the seasoned artist assured the New York crowd he wouldn’t be hanging up his performance tights any time soon. He’s made good on his promise, leading the main company this season on a 20-city tour as both dancer and rehearsal director.

To say that Alvin Ailey’s legacy is securing a sizeable chapter within the pages of our dance history books is only part of the

by Ninette Paloma story. In 1962 — a mere four years after the company was founded — the Ailey troupe was hand-picked to front a U.S. State Department tour, signaling to the world that their significance and value went far beyond artistic merit. Murmurs of a role as diplomatic representatives swirled around the organization, and in 2008, Congress made it official, designating Ailey as “a vital American cultural ambassador to the world.” To date, the organization has performed for an estimated 23 million people in 71 countries on six continents.

“There’s a very unique experience that you have coming to see an Ailey concert,” said Rushing. “You come to the theater, and you get to connect with all the different dancers, the different shapes and sizes and shades. It’s all-encompassing.” Known for transcending the virtues of the African-American heritage into experiential movement, Ailey’s repertory continues to reflect the company’s longtime commitment to celebrating cultural perspectives in all of their multilayered facets, from choreographer and Ailey mentor Lester Horton’s East Indian and Native American influences, to hip-hop artist and historian Rennie Harris’s exploration of urban depth.

A few days shy of packing up and heading the charge out west for what promises to be another physically and mentally taxing travel schedule, Rushing is the embodiment of a seasoned artist, relaxed and reflective, content with a few moments of downtime before the winds pick up again. When asked what fuels his continued passion for the organization and art form, his answer is at once succinct and comprehensive: “It has a lot to do with spirit. Whatever your moral beliefs are, we all possess the intangible thing that gives us life. I think Ailey speaks to the importance of spirit existing in the way we move and how it should be communicated into each and every performance.”

the Power of Proof I f the biggest theater awards in the world are any indicator, then you need no further proof that David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize– and Tony Award–winning play Proof is worth a watch. But SBCC’s upcoming production of the drama, which runs at the Jurkowitz Theatre April 15-30, isn’t just a case of picking a previously proven success.

Steeped in themes of mental illness, gender, family, and academia, it’s a prescient play, one that addresses and illuminates serious themes of contemporary times in an environment where these topics are often most pressing.

Director R. Michael Gros first saw the play in its original run on Broadway and was “stunned by the power of the storytelling,” he said. A family drama centering on a young mathematician named Catherine (played by Katherine Bottoms), the daughter of a recently deceased math genius (played

by Paul Canter), Proof tells the story of one woman’s struggles with grief, family, competitive academia, and the sensitivities and fragilities of pronounced intelligence. Catherine’s future success — and sanity — are

in their family or friends, to not be afraid to take a positive action and that we should not be afraid to seek out help,” Gros said. Gros added he hopes his production inspires his audience to recognize the humanity and commonality in those who may be afflicted with mental illness, which is often framed as abnormal. “We often shun the discussion … There are people who are extraordinarily talented and yet have another aspect to their mental health that is diminished compared to what we consider normal, but they’re not aberrant.”

For the cast, finding the underlying relatable qualities in a sometimes unsavory or overly self-interested host of characters was one of the bigger challenges. “There’s suspicion and drama throughout, and really at the end of the play, you realize these are all people with good intentions, and each one of them is trying to do the right things always,” he said.

In addition to mental illness, the play deals with the emotional gray areas between thought and feeling, between intellect and intuition, between acceptance and expectation. “There’s a theme of love versus evidence, instances between the characters when they try and connect but the obstacle is some kind of logical barrier that they can’t quite surpass,” Coleman said. The play’s many emotional turbulences add up to a masterful drama.

“It’s a steady rollercoaster,” said Bottoms.

“W

April poetry primer

rite about your sorrows, your wishes, your passing thoughts, your belief in anything beautiful,” wrote R.M. Rilke in his “Letters to a Young Poet.” Following that advice, the 30 poets below did just that. In celebration of National Poetry Month, Santa Barbara’s former poet laureate David Starkey has compiled a primer of poetry books to read—one for each day of April.

Chana Bloch, Swimming in the Rain: New and Selected Poems:

While Bloch’s earlier poetry is well crafted, it’s the spare, precise, ironic, and wise poems collected during the last five years that make this new book exceptional. In “Divorce,” for example, she writes: “I choked him in a dream and woke up / choking.” And the title poem rejoices, “Thank God / I’ve the good sense at last // not to come out of the rain.”

Martín Espada, Vivas to Those Who Have Failed: The title comes from Whitman’s “Song of Myself,” and Espada’s latest collection is full of workingclass heroes — from Union strikers to Howard Zinn to the Puerto Rican nationalist Lola Rodríguez de Tió to Espada’s activist father. Yet for all his political fervor, Espada is a poet first, and a good one.

Laurel Blossom, Longevity: “One morning. / One bright blue

morning. / One clear and beautiful, oh, September morning. / When I look down and see my sister’s hands.” So begins Blossom’s book-length meditation — fragmented and told in reverse chronological order, but eminently readable—on mothers and daughters and sisters and 9/11.

Camille Rankine, Incorrect Merciful Impulses: “A long memory, / I have been warned, is a curse,” Rankine writes in “The Free World,” yet this collection of nuanced and deeply introspective poems shows she has a long memory, indeed. Every experience is potentially charged, and every emotion exists as a vehicle for further inquiry into the speaker’s—dare one say it? — heart.

DAviD StArkey’S

30 pickS to Read foR

poetry month mystery is married to clarity. The book’s long title only hints at the many subjects — not all poetic — that engaged the brilliant intelligence of this unique figure in American letters, who sadly passed away in January.

Juan Felipe Herrera, Notes on the Assemblage: Our new national

poet laureate is a relentless experimenter, and very political. “[B]ut I was the one that saw it (drone aftermath)” for instance, contains several pages of nothing but scattered letters that resemble a drone strike. He writes of the 2015 church massacre: “9 killed in Charleston, South Carolina / they are not 9 / they are each one / alive / we do not know.”

Ross Gay, Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude: Rarely has a book’s title so perfectly suited its contents. Gay finds occasions for joy in everything from ants to armpits, and especially in fruits and flowers and gardens. Yet Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude is unsentimental and doesn’t turn away from ugliness: It is simply the poetic record of a man who has chosen to be happy —deliriously so.

Georg Trakl, Poems: Book One of Our Trakl (Trans. by James Reidel): Translator James Reidel has tried to “channel Trakl … to have him, so to speak, absorbed in the right dosages he—as a poet, pharmacist and addict—intended.” Trakl died in 1913 of a cocaine overdose after an extended bout of depression triggered by serving as a medical officer at the beginning of World War I, and this republication of his first book of poems captures that misery in excruciating detail.

Michael Dickman, Green Migraine: Lots of irony,

of subject matter—cathedrals, daughters, 18th-century prisons, shadows in Siberia, Baltimore — and poetic forms — villanelles, sonnets, and ottava rima — is almost overwhelming, especially as Morrissey manages to pack it all into 200 pages.

Nevertheless, there’s no sense of Whitmanian excess. Every line is carefully crafted, “finished and intricate.”

white space, and repetition — in the hands of a lesser poet this might be a recipe for pretentiousness, but Michael Dickman handles his material with grace and delicacy, especially in long final poem “Lullaby,” where he says of his son: “What arrived from light-years away is here already spinning in the kitchen practicing his ABCs.”

Ada Limón, Bright Dead Things: “I

Daniel Nadler, Lacunae: 100 Imagined Ancient Love Poems:

Sinéad Morrissey, Parallax and Selected Poems: The sheer variety

swear, I’ll try harder not to / miss as much,” Limón writes in “The Tree of Fire,” and she doesn’t miss much in these short, observant poems that might almost read like diary entries if they weren’t so carefully crafted, so full of “the invisible gift, what / we see when we stare long enough into nothing.”

C.D. Wright, The Poet, the Lion, Talking Pictures, El Farolito, a Wedding in St. Roch, the Big Box Store, the Warp in the Mirror, Spring, Midnights, Fire & All: Wright’s later poetry can be somewhat mystifying, but as a writer of hybrid poetry/criticism, that

Joy Harjo, Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings: “We make a jumble

of stories,” Harjo writes of people living in cities. “We do not dream together.” Her book is an attempt to overcome that jumble and disconnection, and while its title has an ironic ring, the poems themselves are sincere in their search for a unifying spirituality.

Madhur Anand, A New Index for Predicting Catastrophes: Anand

is a professor of environmental sciences, so it’s not surprising that she would write a poem titled “Cellulose and Pigment.”

What is surprising is that such a poem would contain lines that are both taxonomically precise and elegantly phrased: “Elliptic, large-lobed, fine-toothed edges, margins predict / every unshaded niche in the disordered array / of green.”

A Sulfur Anthology, edited by Clayton Eshleman: There’s almost as much prose as poetry in this collection of highlights from the 20 years of the avant-garde magazine Sulfur, and that makes sense, as the journal frequently sought to define, and redefine, the boundaries of poetry. It’s difficult material but worthwhile. As you read, you can almost feel yourself getting smarter.

Karen Solie, The Road In Is Not the Same Road Out: The agitated intelligence and music of John Ashbery can be heard in some of these poems, but there is something darker and more intentional in Solie’s verse, as she grapples with the complexities of life in 21st-century North America: “The imagination, whole, yet incomplete, / feels its edges.”

Kevin Young, Blue Laws: The book’s title, Young explains, alludes not only to Sunday religious laws but also “to the blues music that informs America’s and my own.” Indeed, music is the guiding metaphor in this huge, and hugely satisfying, collection, which investigates the African-American experience with an insight and thoroughness few poets have achieved.

Sandra Beasley, Count the Waves: The majority of the poems in this collection take their titles from a mid-19th-century “compendium of phrases that could be referenced by number, a code for conversation over long distances.” Among these phrases are “Do Not Expose Yourself to the Air” and “The Calamity Is Not Serious.” The poems often have only a tangential relation to their titles, but with a poet of Beasley’s imaginative gifts, that hardly matters.

Sjohnna McCray, Rapture: Rapture is the

well-deserved winner of one of America’s most prestigious first-book prizes, the Walt Whitman Award. McCray’s two chief subjects in the collection —his father’s experiences in Vietnam and his own sexuality—intertwine in fascinating ways, appearing again and again,“like the ache of a missing leg, / the twitch of an invisible limb.”

The idea is so ingenious —invent fragments of poems that might be translations from, say, ancient Assyrian or classical Kannada — that the poetry itself could almost have been an afterthought. Fortunately, Nadler’s poems have an admirable strangeness and simplicity, as in this complete (untitled) piece: “The growing fingers of clouds meet / like children / discovering they have hands.”

Frank Stanford, What About This: Collected Poems: The biog-

raphy of Frank Stanford, the hard-living Southern poet who shot himself in the heart at age 29, has often outshone his poetry, which had been out of print and hard to find. There are some fine moments in this enormous book, but Stanford’s 1970s-inflected free verse doesn’t hold up as well as his many fans might hope.

Linda Pastan, Insomnia: It’s astonishing how much thought

and feeling Linda Pastan can infuse into poems that are often no more than two or three sentences. Time slows down, and one’s focus intensifies, as in “MRI”: “I long / not for health but for simple quiet: / the storied silence / of outer space.”

Medbh McGuckian, The Unfixed Horizon: New Selected Poems: To read a Medbh McGuckian poem is to become, almost immediately, lost in a wash of images and metaphors that only connect intuitively, associatively, obliquely. Dreams are a frequent subject of her poetry, and their strange power is mirrored in many of McGuckian’s lines:“a flame with no clothing, / a death’s head carved / with a human head inside it.”

Mark O’Connor’s

HOT SWING

THIS SAT!

James Lasdun, Bluestone: New and Selected Poems: The

world Lasdun creates is both beautiful and menacing, and often deeply disappointing. Fans of good poetry will be tempted to linger there, but they should anticipate paying the price: “somewhere a disturbance, a harsh human cry, / and one man less climbs out than waded in.”

Mark O’Connor’s jazz performances and compositions pay tribute to legendary French Gypsy jazz masters Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.

Tom Sexton, A Ladder of Cranes: A former Alaska

poet laureate, Sexton writes of his state with clarity and rigor. Yes, there are literary allusions — he’s particularly fond of the classical Chinese poets — but mostly these are poems that begin and end with careful observations of “the last frontier,” a place where a loon “fills the bay with a single glacial call.”

KENNY BARRON TRIO

Matt Rader, Desecrations: Rader’s descriptive

abilities are so precise and so inventive that it would be impossible to catalog them even in a much longer review. Here are two: children “crowd around / To study the xylophone of vertebrae / The deer has left on the schoolhouse floor” and “the white aspen swimming / In its riffle of sky…”

APRIL 18

Mark McMorris, The Book of Landings: “I started to think of lyric poetry as

dubiously fragile and apt to crumble over time,” writes Mark McMorris in the introduction to the final two books of his trilogy, Auditions for Utopia.

His solution was to write poetry that includes grids filled with single words and poems beneath drawings (or is it vice versa?). “City of Palimpsests,” indeed.

“One of the top jazz pianists in the world.” – The Los Angles Times “The most lyrical piano player of our time.” – Jazz Weekly

Circe Maia, El Puente Invisible/The Invisible Bridge (Trans. by Jesse Lee Kercheval): Maia’s brief, imagistic poems often use domesticity as a window on the stranger, wider world, with the lines frequently punctuated by unlikely questions: “How does the light learn to grow dark? / Must it practice growing dim?” Jesse Lee Kercheval’s unadorned translation allows the Uruguayan poet’s work to speak clearly, to breathe.

photographer, so this book of poems and drawings — many of them composed of words — is a departure for her, and quite a successful one: “Time and the weight of it. Place and the weight of it. Fear and the event of it. The lines. Essential. Essential, all of it.”

Arguably the most versatile vocalist of the modern era and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Linda Ronstadt will appear in a speaking engagement to recount her landmark career, her thoughts on music, and what it has meant in her life.

Robin Coste Lewis, Voyage of the Sable Venus:

The book’s centerpiece is a brilliant found poem consisting of “the titles, catalog entries, or exhibit descriptions of Western art objects in which a black female figure is present.”

Coste Lewis is especially skilled at breaking lines: “Figure of a Negro Woman / Holding / Her Child Over / Her Head / Out of Reach / Of a Serpent / Climbing Up / Her Dress.”

Abdourahman A. Waberi, The Nomads, My Brothers, Go Out to Drink from the Big Dipper (Trans. by Nancy Naomi Carlson): Waberi

writes the sort of spare, clear poetry one would expect of a poet whose chief subject matter is the desert. Born in Djibouti, Africa (although writing in French), Waberi selects his words with great care, which results in a book of extremely short, yet powerfully suggestive, pieces: “for miniature republic / n parsimonious poems.”

The Righteous of spRing

run boy run,

by Richie DeMaria SPRING SPRANG SPRUNG: What an active season we find ourselves in, so

vitalizing and freeing. And fleeting though the flowers are, there feels something permanent about a spring every time it hits, as it strikes a resplendent chord of singing beauty so strong that other seasons seem imitative of these immortal moments. And spring, I’d say, is the spirit season of so many songs. Like the outdoors’ continual house band of birds, frogs, and insects, we are all musicians and listeners, heralding springs and springs-to-be, be we folkies, indie rockers, hip-hoppers, EDM dancers, or classically inclined.

POTLUCK POWER: This month starts with a wildflower carpet of delightful

all-ages shows. Tonight, Thursday, April 7, the folks at the Funzone present a Potluck Show at I.V.’s Dashain Haus, featuring Washington’s Briana Marela, Lilac, Ings, Philadelphia’s Cricket Joe, and Santa Barbara’s very own Katie Murray, a spring baby herself. So bring your own food and some kindness to spare as the giving spirit of spring makes itself felt in this fine feast of folk and feminine wisdom. Marela’s music is perfect for the times, daydreamy, drifting, whisperingly quiet compositions that coo and croon like a rippling sea of crocuses.

THIRD EYE TIME: Seven being a lucky number, the seventh day of April

is also the first Thursday of the month, and a day of many shows. While the Funzone fosters the new growth of spring in its celebration of new acts, other venues announce the returning of some flowers you thought were dormant. The Arlington Theatre, for example, welcomes to town the folks of Third Eye Blind, who play tonight, as well. Few bands remind this ’90s child of fountaining youth as do Third Eye Blind, whose hits like “Semi-Charmed Life” and “Never Let You Go” can put an intelligently and earnestly rocking pep into any step. The band’s newest album, 2015’s Dopamine, shows singer Stephan Jenkins continuing to further his skills for catchy hooks and literate, heartfelt lyrics.

APRIL 21 at 7pm

ELSEWHERE ON STATE ST.: And if neither vernal folk nor Bay Area pop-rock

appeal on this seventh day of April, then no need to worry. Velvet Jones brings us Freddie Gibbs, one of the biggest and best voices in hip-hop to hail from the Midwest. Life’s a little bleaker on the streets of Gary, Indiana, but Gibbs, in his music, demonstrates the great musical magic of rendering darkness to light, turning tales of gang violence and police brutality into gripping tracks. At Benchmark Eatery, sailor/singer David Courtenay sings in the wake of his recent album, Godspeed. Perhaps he has been out to the islands recently and can tell us how great and green they look after the brief El Niño rains, as I imagine they do. And at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, Ventura’s Jade Hendrix joins a multitiered lineup that also includes the perennial DJ Darla Bea.

JUST ANOTHER NIGHT OF TERROR AND METH: The next day, Friday, April 8, the Funzone continues with a jolt of energy from Terror Pigeon and Meth Dad. Tennessee’s Terror Pigeon, self-advertised as “the world’s sweatiest

band,” certainly isn’t terrified of taking risks or having fun. They are hardrocking and sly-devilishly devious, with a website of raining emojis, bright colors, and a link to review them on Yelp. Meth Dad, similarly, is all about the goofy visuals, like a tropical Santa riding a joyfully spouting dolphin.

The music to accompany such Internet kitsch tropicalia is rhythmic and harmonic, not unlike if Animal Collective were a digital band on a digital n beach in Mario Kart 64.

The PeOPle v. O.J. SimPSOn A Show So Good You Can’t Wait to Find Out the Verdict

O

nly Patty Hearst’s epic flirtation with crime and radical politics in the 1970s came close to the bleeding-out headlines of the 1994 O.J. Simpson murder trial. From his Bronco ride to his subsequent “dream team” trial of the century, it filled the airwaves and print with rich and strange melodramatic swerves all the way to the bizarre verdict, which seemed inevitable and baffling at the same time. More than 20 years later, and the event still has viewers glued to their small screens — this time for the FX miniseries The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

What’s great about the 10-part show (which concluded Tuesday, April 5, after press time) is how strongly it grounds the events in human terms while still acknowledging the crazy politics, the media shit show, and the brash manipulations of big-stakes lawyers on parade.

Actually, the nobility of the law frequently surfaces. The People v. O.J. Simpson bursts with HERE’S JOHNNIE: Courtney B. Vance plays Johnnie Cochran in richly detailed performances, from both the FX’s miniseries about the o.J. Simpson murder trial. prosecution and defense tables.

Thursday, April 7, 2016 - 7pm Film will be followed by a town hall meeting with panelists

The Jungle Book personnel are beyond dream team; J.J. Abrams produced, brilliant directors Matt Reeves and Drew Goddard advised, and Damien (Whiplash) Chazelle worked the script over. And though it is subtly innovative, beginning with a mysterious abduction and morphing into phantasmagoria, the film is just mostly good. Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman star. (DJP) Camino Real/Fiesta 5

tured mutant with a very bad attitude and a very sharp wit, gets past its own gory excesses with self-referential jokes and fanboy-friendly pop-culture references. It does pander to audiences that liked Kick-Ass, but the film’s pace is the star, brilliantly mixing origin story with revenge tale. It’s decidedly not for kids, though. (DJP) Camino Real

O Embrace of the Serpent (125 mins.; NR)

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (151 mins.; PG-13) It’s hard to believe a film this stupid could have been produced by a studio that reviews products before release.

Make no mistake, this is a product. Basically, it’s a half-assed reimagining of the DC heroes borrowed from Frank Miller’s 1980s Dark Knight comics, the beloved heroes turned into simpering, self-reflective, and violent dopes. The action scenes, when they finally occur, are murky and boring. Most pertinent of all, the plot hinges on the fact that both superheroes had mommies named Martha: superdumb. (DJP) Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

O City of Gold

(96 mins.; R)

A paean to the poetic populist of pork ramen and pupusas, City of Gold is a love letter to the City of Angels as told through one of its chief cultural critics, Pulitzer Prize–winning food writer Jonathan Gold. As much a movie about the city and its food as it is about the critic, the documentary, like Gold himself, paints a picture of contemporary culture through cuisine. It’s a golden movie about a heroic writer. (RD) Riviera

O Deadpool

(108 mins.; R)

Marvel’s experiment in adult-portion superhero moviemaking is an almost pure success. Brash, sexual, vulgar, and extremely violent, the film, which stars Ryan Reynolds as a manufac-

Colombian director Ciro Guerra takes us on a slow, black-and-white tour of the Amazon River basin, sliding between tales of two white scientists from different eras blundering into cultural labyrinths. A cross between Heart of Darkness and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Guerra’s film is painstakingly gorgeous all the way through, but although art films are allowed to be slow and loose — this clocks in at two hours but feels longer — they still need to feel tightly woven with meanings. Be patient. His jungle demon dreams will infiltrate your own. (DJP) Plaza de Oro

where he’s meant to be beat down by the road, the liquor, and the benzedrine inhalers that spelled Williams’s doom.

The movie takes time to celebrate all that music and driven joy. Sadly, however, Hiddleston is wedded to another of those scripts modeled on the Behind the Music television show, the only plot Hollywood knows how to recite about romantic geniuses — they do a lot of everything bad, and they’re no fun to marry. It’s not a long movie, but the downward arc is interminable. (DJP)

Marguerite (129 mins.; R) Marguerite Dumont loves the opera; she also loves to sing it, but she isn’t good.

Her friends and husband encourage her fantasy, however, until things come to a head when she decides to perform for an audience.

Eye in the Sky (102 mins.; R) Helen Mirren and the late Alan Rickman star in this film that addresses the moral, political, and personal dilemmas of drone warfare.

O Zootopia

(108 mins.; PG)

A wildly vibrant, joyfully clever romp with a serious heart, this wonderful movie is as marvelous and mature as computer-animated menageries get.

The youngest mammals among us will delight in the adorable characters, but elder beasts will see it for its potently politic and inclusive 2016 themes. Disney here is planting seeds in young minds in the hopes of a better tomorrow. This is more than a kids’ movie — this is a statement. (RD) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

Congratulations Tyler Hayden

and

Brandi Rivera

Each year, Editor & Publisher magazine solicits nominations to identify and recognize the next generation of newspaper leaders nationwide: “people who are young and bright, with the business acumen and vision to implement bold, new strategies to move their newspaper companies forward.” These leaders compose E&P’s annual list of “25 under 35.”

The Santa Barbara Independent is thrilled that Brandi and tyler were chosen as two of the 25 honorees nationwide. We know that they are top-notch, and we’re glad that the experts agree. read on to see what Editor & Publisher had to say in their april issue.

Tyler Hayden News editor Education: University of California, Santa Barbara, b.a, English, minor in writing & editing As news editor, Tyler Hayden’s job is always taking him to unexpected places: to the frontlines of an oil refinery spill, to the streets of Isla Vista, after a mass shooting and even inside a jail cell for a story illuminating isolation cells.

Hayden’s work has earned him and his staff a 2015 Pulitzer Prize nomination; first and second place awards for the CNPA Better Newspapers Contest in 2014, and a 2013 EPPY award for Best Weekly or Non-Daily Newspaper Website.

In addition to effectively leading a 10-person news team, Hayden also contributes to other sections and regularly speaks to high school and college journalism classes, appears on local television and radio shows and freelances for a wide range of publications.

“Altogether, Tyler is truly a journalist of many talents who is dedicated to the craft and serious

about producing quality content to inform the community of Santa Barbara and the world at large,” said Matt Kettmann, senior editor.

(her) to think of ways to put our company ahead of the competition and keep us relevant to our community.”

E&P: What advice do you have for other young professionals in the newspaper industry?

E&P: What advice do you have for other young professionals in the newspaper industry?

TH: Be hungry, but stay patient.

Nudge your paper in new directions, but don’t expect change overnight. Old habits die hard, but not every habit deserves to die. Listen to people who have been doing this longer than you. Take as much advice and criticism as you can get. Give thanks you’re in a line of work that’s fun and essential and just the right amount of terrifying. Be curious. Look for angles. Get off the phone and go meet in person.

Come up with ideas, then do them yourself. Study Google Analytics and pay attention to print layout.

Take breaks, enjoy perks, and work as late as you need to bury the competition.

BR: The way in which the world consumes content has changed but the need for quality journalism is as high as ever. Take this as a challenge to try new initiatives and find what works best for your readers. Learn from others in the industry by networking, asking for best practices and keeping up with industry trends. Most importantly, do not be afraid of taking risks or changing something that isn’t working. The old adage of “that’s the way we’ve always done it” will not get you far.

E&P: How do you lead your staff through a breaking news story in today’s newsroom?

TH: I’m fortunate to work in a newsroom that leads itself. We have a staff that has been through enough wildfires, mass murders, and political upsets to know the drill. I act as a sort of playercoach, catching tips and fielding stories as they come in. And I write as much as I can, with my car and police scanner at the ready.

To be an effective news editor in today’s environment, it’s important to be able to do it all—call emergency contacts, draft reports, edit copy, use photos and videos, publish stories online, monitor and manage social media, and so on.

It’s just as important to ask for help when you need it.

Brandi Rivera Chief financial officer Education: Pepperdine University, MBA candidate, class of 2017; University of California, Santa Barbara, b.s., biological sciences As chief financial officer, Brandi Rivera handles all of the day-today logistics, business decisions and work flow. “She brings her background in finance and human resources to the office each day, but it’s her calm disposition, flair for efficiency and creative problem-solving abilities that distinguish her management style,” said director of advertising Sarah Sinclair.

Over the last two years, the paper has switched printers, launched new digital and print products, upgraded its website, forayed into events and ticketing, and made numerous other improvements.

And Rivera has been there every step of the way.

While Rivera dislikes the term “millennial,” Sinclair said, “It’s that trademark ability to see things from a digital and forwardthinking perspective that enables

30 Y E A R S

E&P: What kind of encouragement would you give to publishers when it comes to “numbers” and “revenue?”

BR: It may not sound like encouragement, but I would remind publishers that the best thing about numbers is that they do not lie. By tracking numbers and revenue, you can see trends and use the data when planning.

If your traditional print revenue is declining, find ways to diversify your revenue with special publications, digital products, etc. because the second best thing about numbers is that it doesn’t matter what revenue line they are on, they all contribute to your total revenue, sometimes even with better margins. When it comes to numbers, don’t get bogged down in the statistics themselves; focus on ways to increase the revenue coming in and reduce the expenses going out.

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): French artist Henri Matisse (18691954) is regarded as one of the greats, in the same league as Picasso and Kandinsky. Even in his eighties, he was still creating marvels that one critic said seemed “to come from the springtime of the world.”

As unique as his work was, he was happy to acknowledge the fact that he thrived on the influence of other artists. And yet he also treasured the primal power of his innocence. He trusted his childlike wonder. “You study, you learn, but you guard the original naiveté,” he said. “It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.” These are good, sweet thoughts for you to keep in mind right now, Aries.

(June 21-July 22): Your personal oracle for the coming weeks is a fable from 2,600 years ago. It was originally written by the Greek storyteller Aesop and later translated by Joseph Jacobs. As the tale begins, a dog has discovered a hunk of raw meat lying on the ground.

He’s clenching his treasure in his mouth as he scurries home to enjoy it in peace. On the way, he trots along a wooden plank that crosses a rapidly-flowing stream.

Gazing down, he sees his reflection in the water below.

What? He imagines it’s another dog with another slab of meat. He tries to snatch away this bonus treat, but in doing so, drops his own meat. It falls into the stream and is whisked away. The moral of the fable: “Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.”

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In his book Strange Medicine, Nathan Belofsky tells us about unusual healing practices of the past. In ancient Egypt, for example, the solution for a toothache was to have a dead mouse shoved down one’s throat. If someone had cataracts, the physician might dribble hot broken glass into their eyes. I think these strategies qualify as being antidotes that were worse than the conditions they were supposed to treat. I caution you against getting sucked into “cures” like those in the coming days. The near future will be a favorable time for you to seek healing, but you must be very discerning as you evaluate the healing agents.

TAURUS

LEO

(Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus-born Kurt Gödel (19061978) was among history’s greatest logicians. His mastery of rational thought enabled him to exert a major influence on scientific thinking in the 20th century. Yet he also had an irrational fear of being poisoned, which made him avoid food unless his wife cooked it. One of the morals of his story is that reason and delusion may get all mixed up in the same location. Sound analysis and crazy superstition can get so tangled they’re hard to unravel. The coming week will be an excellent time to meditate on how this phenomenon might be at work in you. You now have an extraordinary power to figure out which is which, and then take steps to banish the crazy, superstitious, fearful stuff.

(July 23-Aug. 22): “I never get lost because I don’t know where I am going,” said the Japanese poet known as Ikkyu. I stop short of endorsing this perspective for full-time, long-term use, but I think it suits you fine for right now. According to my astrological projections, you can gather the exact lessons you need simply by wandering around playfully, driven by cheerful curiosity about the sparkly sights — and not too concerned with what they mean. P.S. Don’t worry if the map you’re consulting doesn’t seem to match the territory you’re exploring.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his poem “The Snowmass Cycle,” Stephen Dunn declares that everyone “should experience the double fire, of what he wants and shouldn’t have.” I foresee a rich opportunity coming up for you to do just that, Scorpio. And, yes, I do regard it as rich, even marvelous, despite the fact that it may initially evoke some intense poignance. Be glad for this crisp revelation about a strong longing whose fulfillment would be no damn good for you!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For a time, pioneer physicist Albert Einstein served as a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. On one occasion, a student complained to him,“The questions on this year’s exam are the same as last year’s.” Einstein agreed that they were and then added, “but this year all the answers are different.” I’m seeing a similar situation in your life, Gemini. For you, too, the questions on this year’s final exam are virtually identical to last year’s final exam — and yet every one of the answers has changed. Enjoy the riddle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “If literally every action a human can perform was an Olympic sport,” Reddit.com asked its users, “which events would you win medals in?” A man named Hajimotto said his champion-level skill was daydreaming. “I can zone out and fantasize for hours at a time,” he testified.“This is helpful when I am waiting in line.”You Virgos are not typically Olympicclass daydreamers, but I encourage you to increase your skills in the coming weeks. It’ll be a favorable time for your imagination to run wild and free. How exuberantly can you fantasize? Find out!

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When I look at my life I realize that the mistakes I have made, the things I really regret, were not errors of judgment but failures of feeling.”

Writer Jeanette Winterson said that, and I’m passing it on to you at the exact moment you need to hear it.

Right now, you are brave enough and strong enough to deal with the possibility that maybe you’re not doing all you can to cultivate maximum emotional intelligence. You are primed to take action and make big changes if you discover that you’re not feeling as much as you can about the important things in your life.

response to them. But sadness often makes us feel vulnerable, while rage gives us at least the illusion of being strong, and so most of us prefer the latter.

But Welwood suggests that tuning in to the sadness almost always leads to a more expansive understanding of your predicament, and it often provides the opportunity for a more profound self-transformation.

I invite you to apply these meditations to your own life, Capricorn. The time is right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “The causes of human actions are usually immeasurably more complex and varied than our subsequent explanations of them.” Fyodor Dostoyevsky said that in his novel The Idiot, and now I’m passing it on to you just in the nick of time. In the coming weeks, it’s especially important for you to not oversimplify your assessments of what motivates people — both those you respect and those you don’t fully trust. For your own sake, you can’t afford to naively assume either the best or the worst about anyone. If you hope to further your own agendas, your nuanced empathy must be turned up all the way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “Believing love is work is certainly better than believing it’s effortless, ceaseless bliss,” says author Eric LeMay. That’s advice I hope you’ll keep close at hand in the coming weeks, Pisces. The time will be right for you to exert tremendous effort in behalf of everything you love dearly — to sweat and struggle and strain as you create higher, deeper versions of your most essential relationships. Please remember this, though: The hard labor you engage in should be fueled by your ingenuity and your creative imagination. Play and experiment and enjoy yourself as you sweat and struggle and strain!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Psychotherapist Jennifer Welwood says that sadness is often at the root of anger. Feelings of loss and disappointment and heartache are the more primary emotions, and rage is a reflexive

VILLA A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: KIRI JULIA MARIA VILLA in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA BARBARA THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that KIRI JULIA MARIA VILLA be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 05/05/2016 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner (name) Thomas E.

the woodwork, including the floors, was restored and refinished. As just one example, the front foyer of the home has an intricately carved ceiling with separate panels and crossbeams. This took more than 160 hours of hand-sanding to restore its original beauty. The same room has pocket doors with gorgeous hardware and fittings that were completely refurbished by hand.

The design and construction, and all of this meticulous detail work, was conducted by area company Art and Elements. I’m told that the construction crew admires and adores Hugo Garcia, the CEO, general contractor, and leader of the project. If the care and attention to detail is any indicator, I can see why. The City of Santa Barbara also approved every step of the renovation and has designated this home as a city landmark.

The house is more than 3,100 square feet with five bedrooms and four baths, including two master bedrooms upstairs, both with bathrooms, porches, and fireplaces. Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom, plus there’s a little office with a view and a laundry room in the middle. The entire upstairs flows well, leading from one room to the next.

The downstairs could be reconfigured any number of ways. The rooms are all large, bright, and connected,

with a full bathroom in the center. As I was walking through the downstairs, admiring the layout and flow—there’s even a little “Harry Potter” bedroom behind one room — I caught myself thinking that there is only one bathroom downstairs. I smiled at how quickly I had got caught up in the size and scale of this grand mansion. It lacks absolutely nothing.

The landscaping was meticulously designed by the same firm in a Victorian style, with gardens, pathways, and focal points. Drought-tolerant plants were incorporated into the existing trees and bushes. There are several porches and a veranda that wraps around almost the whole house which expand the living space outdoors and extend the character of the house beyond its walls. The upstairs back porch is one of my favorite “rooms” in the house. It offers a grand view of the neighborhood and surrounding houses, down to the Granada building beyond and all the way to the ocean.

Looking out over the backyard, I was reminded that this house is closer to its neighbors than a similarly priced home in Montecito would likely be. For many people, myself included, the friendly neighborhood feel, along with the walkability factor of this location, is a bonus. The ideal new owners of this classic home should be ready to be sociable with folks passing by who want to stop and admire this new/old Victorian beauty and hear the stories of how it was brought back to life.

M

y little downtown cottage has beautiful hardwood floors, original to its 1920s pedigree. But if you put a marble on said floor, it will roll into the corner.

Nothing is quite straight or flush or exactly level. The dual-paned sash windows have their original glass, but be careful when you try to open that particularly finicky one in the bedroom.

You’ll have to tug and jiggle it just so, and then when you’ve almost given up, it will likely fly all the way open.

Such are the quirks with many older houses.

Along with the charming age-appropriate details come drawers that stick and stairs that creak in telltale spots. Forget closet space and modern conveniences such as air conditioning. These inconveniences are the trade-offs for having a house with character.

However, today I visited a home that has all of the original charm from its 1895 beginnings, plus updated systems, features, and amenities to rival any house built today. The house at 1721 Santa Barbara Street is located in the heart of Santa Barbara’s Upper East, the area serving as the gateway to the Old Mission. Surrounded by stately homes in varying styles, it takes something really special to stand out in this neighborhood, and this home does.

This home just underwent a massive restoration, including a new and upgraded foundation, new plumbing, gas and electrical systems, a new roof, new and rebuilt windows, and new heating and air conditioning systems offering modern standards, including separate climate zones and energy efficiency. The house was enlarged to provide a larger, state-of-the art kitchen, a breakfast area and family room downstairs, and a huge master suite with a spacious balcony above.

In addition to modernizing and enlarging the house, the renovation team paid painstaking attention to the home’s myriad period details, using old-world craftsmanship and quality. Every window in the house was taken apart and rebuilt with tempered glass, and all of

Green your crib

saving starry nights, Wildlife, and ourselves N ot long ago, less than 100 years, everyone experienced starry night skies. But today, the widespread use of artificial light is not only impairing our view of the universe but also adversely affecting our environment, our safety, our energy consumption, and our health. Most of us are familiar with air, water, and land pollution; fewer are aware of light pollution — inappropriate or excessive use of artificial light. For billions of years, all life has

food or pollination. Glare from lighting can impact wetland habitats that are home to amphibians such as frogs and toads, whose nighttime croaking is part of their breeding ritual. Artificial light can lure baby sea turtles away from the sea to their demise.

The destructive impact is not only on wildlife. Our bodies produce the hormone melatonin in response to circadian rhythm.

This hormone helps keep us healthy: It has antioxidant properties, induces sleep, boosts our immune system, lowers cholesterol, and bolsters the functioning of the thyroid, pancreas, ovaries, testes, and adrenal glands. Nighttime exposure to artificial light suppresses melatonin production.

Much outdoor night lighting is inef inefficient, overly bright, poorly directed, improperly shielded, and, in many cases, completely unnecessary. The dark-sky movement is a campaign to reduce light pollution. The movement began with astronomers, but as scientists continue to learn of the ever more pervasive and pernicious consequences of excessive night lighting, the movement has gained many advocates, including many governments.

Here are five things you can do to reduce light pollution at home:  Use only lighting that is needed.  Install energy-efficient bulbs in

the warm part of the color spectrum (the blue light colors are more harmful).  Convert to motion-detector switching or timers.  Properly shield outdoor lights from the sky.  Keep blinds shut at night to keep light glow inside.

relied on the Earth’s predictable rhythm of day and night. Plants and animals depend on the daily cycle of light and dark to govern life-sustaining behaviors such as reproduction, nourishment, sleep, and protection from predators.

Most migratory birds travel at night, relying on starlight for navigational clues.

They recognize constellations and get critical directional information from the position of stars. Every year, millions of birds die colliding with needlessly illuminated buildings and towers, but “lights out” programs in cities, especially along flyways, have a strong mitigating result: Bird deaths declined by 80 percent when lights were turned off at Chicago’s McCormick Place — and that’s just one building. Collisions are not the only issue; scientists write of songbirds and seabirds being“captured” by searchlights on land and by light from gas flares on marine oil platforms, circling and circling in the thousands until they drop from exhaustion.

Many insects are drawn to light, but artificial light can create a fatal attraction.

Declining insect populations negatively impact all species that rely on insects for

late afternoon so it is still viable into the evening when the worms are more likely to ingest it. Spray Bt weekly until the new bougainvillea growth is clean and free of damage.

Another organic-type pesticide called Spinosad can be used and also helps eliminate leaf miners and thrips. It is also the ingredient in some of the oral pesticides that we give our dogs to keep fleas at bay. One online source explains that these bacteria produce a substance that acts as a neurotoxin in some insects that causes them to become excited to the point of exhaustion, to stop eating,

t used to be that bougainvilleas were easy and foolproof to grow here in Santa Barbara. It always seemed that, once established, they didn’t need food, weren’t bothered by bugs, and existed on almost no water. (I always wondered if someone sneaked eaked into the Douglas Family Preserve at night and watered the feral ones that are tucked away overlooking Hendry’s Beach.)

Bougies were a cast-iron staple in your garden that gave you an abundance of color and little grief, save for the thorns.

That all changed in 2006 when a sneaky little brown (or green) inchworm was accidentally introduced into California.

The bougainvillea looper (Disclisioprocta stellata) is the caterpillar or larvae form of the somber carpet moth. They don’t live in your carpet, and with all the bougainvillea in this town to dine on, I can’t imagine what they’ve got to be somber about. Nevertheless, they’re pesky and destructive. The moth does not eat the bougainvillea but instead lays its eggs on the undersides of the leaves.

The hatching inchworms are what cause the scallop-shaped, munched-on, damaged foliage.

There are a few ways to get them out of your life and off of your bougainvillea.

You can spray the foliage with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), which is a naturally occurring bacteria that makes the bug’s guts explode after they eat it — kind of like when you have that one extra slice of pizza, but worse. Since Bt quickly breaks down in sunlight, it is best applied in the

ested in the property but were prevented from moving forward when a group of 70 citizens paid $6,000 for the site with the idea of holding it until the city could purchase it. In 1909, a bond measure to buy the land failed by 37 votes, but the city managed to scrape together $7,400 to proceed with the transfer. The land was dubbed Citizen’s Park.

The park remained undeveloped as land-use proposals were bandied about.

One of the most persistent ideas was to transform it into a harbor. One such plan called for a yacht harbor, La Puerta al Mar, submitted by a civil engineer who at the time was overseeing construction of streetcar lines in Santa Barbara. The city turned down the idea, primarily because roads would have to be rerouted to see the project through.

In 1917, a group of 500 schoolchildren presented the city with a petition to turn the park into a bird refuge. The city granted the request, and there the refuge sat, a victim of sad neglect, for more than 10 years.

This state of affairs was transformed in 1928. Anna Clark was the widow of William Clark, a former U.S. senator who had made his fortune in copper mining in Montana. She lived in the family’s bluff-top estate overlooking East Beach and thus knew firsthand of the sad state of the refuge. Working with her daughter, Huguette, the latter gave $50,000 to transform the refuge into a freshwater lake, with three man-made islands, landscaping, walkways, and bridle paths. The park was christened the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge, after Huguette’s deceased older sister. Today the Bird Refuge remains one of Santa Barbara’s gems.

ne of the most tranquil places on the South Coast is the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge. The serenity of this park today holds little clue to this area’s colorful past.

In the mid-1800s, this low-lying area was known as the Estero (Lagoon) or the Salt Pond. Storms and high tides would inundate the site with ocean water. During the summer, when the brackish waters would recede, locals would congregate to gather salt from the lagoon bed.

The area was also a popular recreation spot. In 1873, John Bradley, a horse breeder and entrepreneur, bought the property with the intent of building a racetrack.

The track would be the scene of events to which there would be an admission charge and would also be thrown open for impromptu contests. Races were held as early as August 1873, but the ground still had numerous soft spots, making for treacherous footing. An 1874 newspaper report related the excitements of bullriding contests, while a fenced area was the scene of the old Californio sport of bull-and-bear fighting.

The grand opening of Ocean Beach Park Track took place on July 4, 1874.

Some 1,000 people attended the festivities.

The location was not ideal, for water continued to collect in low-lying areas, making the track unusable for long periods of time. Bradley even considered turning the track over to farming in 1877, but heavy salt concentrations precluded agricultural use. The track remained open, through good times and bad, until 1886 when the Agricultural Park and Race Track was opened, in yet another swampy area, at the foot of Laguna Street.

The site had a number of owners until 1906. A group of oil developers was inter-

and die within two days. Not unlike what happened to my friend Eugene right before the season finale of Downton Abbey.

Although both insecticides occur naturally, they may come with some risk.

There is some evidence that Spinosad may harm bees if they come in contact with it, and with constant use, caterpillars can become resistant to Bt. If you want to be on the safe side, you can conduct a reconnaissance mission at night with a flashlight and a mayonnaise jar or hang a bird feeder nearby to encourage the birds to do their job.
