Previewing an entirely different sort of summer camp, Barney Brantingham found himself taking a faux Renaissance art tour at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas recently. He compared our Summer Camp cover to the Venetian’s reproductions, and, happily, he says The Indy’s issue artists, Ben Ciccati and Caitlin Fitch, held their own. During his rambles avoiding the gambling halls, Barney had a fine view of Trump Tower, reflecting the sunset and the fading dreams of would-be winners at the tables. But, strangely, gambling isn’t bringing in the dollars it used to. For more, read On the Beat on page 18. richie d e maria

A Line 11 MTD driver, whose route began around 6 a.m., saw an apparently deceased person lying at the covered Chapala-Anapamu bus stop on 4/8. He called his supervisor, who determined the person was dead before calling police at 7:33 a.m. Authorities said the elderly homeless man, 70-year-old Ghassem Hosseinian, may have spent the night at the stop and that his death did not seem suspicious. sb pd

ROUGH RIFFING: Sheriff Bill Brown (center) managed to quote Roman philosopher Cicero (right) and American poet T.S. Eliot (left) while presenting a sneak preview for his budget.

ill Brown has to be the only sheriff in all 58 California counties to quote Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero and American modernist poet T.S. Eliot in the same breath after having been scorched two hours straight by all five county supervisors, as he was this Monday. Brown clearly scored major style points as he wondered out loud whether Eliot’s “April is the cruelest month” was a more apt conclusion to his first budget preview this year than Cicero’s “Not for ourselves alone are we born.” Given what little headway Brown made with the supervisors — who peppered him with questions and made no effort to disguise their impatience — he might better have quoted comedian Rodney “I don’t get no respect” Dangerfield.

Brown got massively whammied last Thursday when the three bids for the proposed new North County jail turned out to be at least $11 million more than county experts had estimated. The proposed new jail—376 beds— was estimated to cost $96 million, making it the most expensive public works project in county history. Of that, 90 percent would be paid for by a state grant Brown secured; the county’s general fund would cover the rest. For Brown, the supervisors, and county administrators, the extra $11 million has induced a profound case of sticker shock. Although no one is pretending to know exactly what made the bids come in so much higher, Brown is insisting the need for the new jail remains just as dire as ever.

The South County Jail has been deemed overcrowded and unsafe for more than 20 years. Last November, the supervisors affirmed their commitment to the project by a 4-1 vote, but those numbers overstate the support Brown and his jail plans enjoy with

them. In that same hearing, the supervisors rejected a 228-bed transitional wing of the new jail that Brown had championed, walking away from a state grant for $38.9 million to build the thing. That vote gave Brown and his aides high anxiety over future support for the jail project. And that was before the bids were open. Though this $11 million question was only alluded to during Monday’s budget presentation by Brown — and only in passing—it nonetheless remained the 800-pound gorilla in the room.

In this context, Brown’s request for $5.2 million above and beyond what county administrators had hoped for proved a big pill for the supervisors to swallow. Those funds would allow him to hire 10 sheriff service technicians—a new, cheaper, and easier-to-fill position — who don’t carry weapons, but who can issue parking tickets and help out in the jail. By putting 10 in the jail, he would free up custodial officers to walk the floors. Likewise, he’d hire three for patrol work, thus liberating three sworn officers from parking enforcement duties. In addition, Brown asked for extra money to hire new jailers for the North County jail, and nearly $1 million to keep the Santa Maria booking jail open. Without this funding, Brown said, he’d be forced to close the Santa Maria booking jail, which costs $951,000 a year to operate. Closing it, Brown said, would be the least terrible of many terrible options.

Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, who represents Santa Maria, strongly disagreed. “This is just not an option,” he said. “I would not be doing my job if I allowed this.” Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin urged the supervisors to keep the jail open. Santa Maria arrested 6,034 people this past year, and if the Santa Maria jail—where there were 2,200 bookings last year— year were closed, that would be roughly seven prisoners a day law enforcement officers

would have to escort to the South County Jail.

Each of those trips — there and back— back would keep one of his officers off patrol. Santa Maria, he reminded the supervisors, has experienced 20 homicides this past year and has been the focus of an intense battle between law enforcement and the international MS-13 street gang.

Brown said the 13 new service technicians he sought would help him address serious problems retaining existing employees and hiring new ones. Retirements and transfers to other departments have reached new heights. Brown blamed relentlessly negative media attention to the behavior of a few rogue cops for turning off the spigot of new recruits. County supervisors Salud Carbajal and Peter Adams—who rarely see eye to eye —expressed agreement the Sheriff’s department was in the throes of a full-fledged “crisis,” which, they added, seriously undermined morale of the troops. What, they repeatedly demanded of Brown, was his plan to turn things around? Brown answered he would cast his net “farther and wider.” Adam shot back Brown needed “to put some bait in it.” Carbajal joined in, “There has to be some strategy to our madness.”

When Brown said he started as sheriff nine and a half years ago, the department had 708 employees. During the recession it hit as low as 617. Even with some of those cuts restored, he said he was forced to declare mandatory overtime to keep staffing levels at the bare minimum required. Twice last month, he closed the Santa Maria jail because staffing levels fell below that minimum. He acknowledged this imposed a hardship on deputies, who, he also noted, hadn’t had a raise since 2011 and were without a contract for the past year. Union spokesperson Sergeant Matt McFarlin said because of the shortage, deputies getting off a 12-hour shift will find themselves asked to cont’d page 11 

Julie Cromer (pictured), 48, a fugitive convicted of financial elder abuse in Santa Barbara County, was arrested 4/6 at a home in Massachusetts. She had met the 77-year-old female victim at a 2007 pug rescue event.

The two developed a relationship, and the victim funded Cromer’s visits to S.B. However, Cromer opened another account for personal travel expenses, which a banker reported. Cromer missed sentencing last October, and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

City firefighters responded at 1:30 a.m. on 4/9 to a structure fire in the 2648 State Street Los Encinos apartment complex.

There were no injuries, and firefighters contained the blaze within a single downstairs unit. A resident of the burning unit who obstructed police officers was tasered and taken into custody. An investigator said the accidental fire, which started in the master bedroom, appeared to be smoking related.

Three other units suffered smoke and heat damage. Preliminary loss is estimated at $800,000.

CITY As a sixth year of drought looms on the horizon, City of Santa Barbara water rates are set to increase yet again, this time by 21 percent. Pending a public hearing and final approval from the council, the change will go into effect July 1. The spike would have been 50 percent if the city didn’t decide to use $5 million in reserves to soften the blow, Mayor Helene Schneider explained this week. Low water users can expect an average $3.77 bump in their bills, moderate users $30.53, and high users $80.01.

shooting threat handled right?

During sixth period on Monday, April 11, at Goleta Valley Junior High School, a female student in teacher James Gallen’s Honors English class was called to the school’s administration office; on her way out the classroom door, she said out loud, “I’m gonna shoot up this school,” according to Gallen. “If I have to do another RA, I’m gonna shoot up this school.” The 8th grader, who Gallen said has been suspended before for fighting, was referring to Santa Barbara Unified School District’s Restorative Approach, a conflict-resolution technique that focuses on mediation over punishment.

“I was concerned about the safety of everyone,” Gallen said, and he immediately reported the student’s comments to school administrators. Fifteen minutes later, she was back in class apologizing for her comments. According to Gallen, school administrators did not report the incident to the district office or to law enforcement. “Administration failed faculty, staff, and students, putting everybody at risk by not taking the threat more seriously,” he said.

Around 5:45 that afternoon, the student repeated the threat on social media.

A parent saw the post and called law enforcement, according to a district press release sent out 24 hours later, on Tuesday evening. “[The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office] responded immediately by contacting the student at home,” the statement said. The student was not at school on Tuesday, Gallen said. He was told she had been suspended for five days. Goleta Valley Principal Veronica Rogers said, “We have resolved it,” without providing further information.

By deadline Wednesday, the Sheriff’s Office had not responded to requests for more information, nor had Barbara Keyani, the district’s communications coordi— Keith Hamm nator.

California’s State Assembly approved a package of anti-tobacco bills, including one to raise the legal smoking age from 18 to 21.

The bills need the State Senate’s approval before reaching Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk.

“Honestly, [the bill] would shut me down,” said Isla Vista Vapor co-owner Donavan Christianson. “I think the big tobacco companies will probably block it from passing,” Keg N Bottle employee Tim Ward said. “I feel like too many kids are smoking here anyway.

Who knows? It might help.”

Two weeks after Venoco declared bankruptcy, it filed on 4/6 a $12.4 million lawsuit against Plains All American Pipeline for past, present, and future lost earnings and prof profits. Venoco claims that since Plains’ pipeline

ruptured — causing the May 19 Refugio Oil Spill — it has been unable to produce crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids from Platform Holly (pictured) because it has no way to otherwise move or store the product.

COuNTY On 4/6, Sheriff Bill Brown was named first vice president of the nonprofit California State Sheriffs’ Association by Gov. Jerry Brown. The sheriff, who previously served as second vice president, was first elected to the organization’s sergeant-at-arms officer position four years ago. “I look forward to helping advance public safety by participating in national and state conversations about challenges facing law enforcement and corrections today,” said Brown.

WAITING: Suspect Pierre Haobsh sits for his arraignment, which was again postponed.

New baby bill

The ink was barely dry on State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson’s parental-leave job protection bill — SB 1166 — before the California Chamber of Commerce gave it the sobriquet “Job Killer.” Jackson’s new legislation would extend the state’s existing protected-leave law for new parents — within 12 months of birth or adoption — to smaller private companies of 5-50 employees. Companies with more than 50 workers are already required to allow 12 weeks of unpaid time off. Jackson introduced SB 1166 because many California workers, who might otherwise take advantage of the time off to tend to their newborn, do not for fear of losing their jobs.

Jackson cosponsored a related bill — AB 908 — signed into law this week by Governor Jerry Brown, that sought to address another reason employees of larger private companies don’t take advantage of California’s 10-year-old parental-leave law: money. (In addition, many California workers remain in the dark that any paid parental-leave protections exist.) Under AB 908, low-wage workers will be entitled to receive a relatively greater percentage of their take-home pay than those earning more. Private employees statewide — not their employers — generate the revenues needed to make these payments via disability deductions taken from their paychecks every two weeks. Jackson reckons 40 percent of the state’s private workforce lacks the necessary job protection to avail themselves of such payments. Her bill goes before the Senate Labor Committee this week.

Last year, Jackson pushed a similar bill, providing job protection for employees taking time off to tend to a sick and ailing relative. Although the legislature — Nick Welsh passed that bill, Gov. Brown vetoed it.

Mental central

The good news: Santa Barbara County’s department of Behavioral Wellness expects to need only seven in-patient psychiatric beds per day from the Aurora Vista del Mar psychiatric hospital in Ventura County.

That’s down from the current 11. The bad news: Even with this reduction, mental-health administrators expect they will need $1.2 million more than their projected budget for the coming year allows — $2.2 million — to send Santa Barbara’s acutely mentally ill to out-of-county facilities.

Alice Gleghorn Whether any of these expectations are realistic has yet to be seen.

This current year, for example, Behavioral Wellness had to ask for $2 million on top of the $2 million it was budgeted for out-of-county hospitalizations because the demand was so intense. Nevertheless, administrators are hoping out-of-county inpatient demand will be significantly reduced because the department has opened — or is in the process of opening — three new psychiatric extended-stay, in-county “homes” with a total of 24 beds. In addition, the county recently opened a Crisis Stabilization Unit with eight recliner chairs — offering 23 hours of decompression and cool-down space — for people on the verge of psychiatric meltdowns. It’s worth noting the last time Santa Barbara shipped only seven psychiatric patients to Vista del Mar a day was in 2001.

Meanwhile, the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors just unanimously approved plans to construct a 91-bed private psychiatric hospital, despite significant neighborhood opposition. The project will be one of the few private facilities going up anywhere and the first for Vizion Health LLC. When built, the new hospital — located 189 miles from Santa Barbara — will provide needed bed space for the seriously mentally ill on the South Coast.

Also this week, county Behavioral Wellness czar Alice Gleghorn won a national award for her work responding to opioid addiction with the San Francisco Department of Public Health. There, she launched pioneering drug-overdose-response programs and pushed to equip first responders with nasal-spray rescue kits. Gleghorn will be given only limited time to enjoy the Nyswander/Dole Award — also known as the “Marie” — given out annually by the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence. Next week, she is scheduled to unveil the first draft for a Laura’s Law pilot program, something she resisted.

Laura’s Law — adopted by Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties — grants judges the authority to order service-resistant mentally ill persons into treatment. Though many area mental-health advocates enthusiastically support the program, it’s not without its controversy. Some critics say the results are more rhetorical than substantial and not worth the civil-liberty intrusions. Gleghorn has objected that starting a brand-new program will distract her from the more substantial reforms that multiple grand juries and two teams of consultants have concluded her — Nick Welsh department sorely needs.

work an extra six. “The word ‘crisis’ is supposed to be temporary, but this is the second time we’re being asked to work mandatory overtime,” he said. “We’re getting tired.”

Cognitive dissonance hit its peak Monday when the supervisors expressed incredulity Brown was seeking budgetary authorization to create new positions while he currently has 56 vacant positions for which funding has been provided. Of those, twothirds are sworn officers, the rest civilian employees. The supervisors were especially miffed that the Chumash Casino — as well as the w ww contract cities for which the Sheriff’s department provides law enforcement— was getting exactly the number of ment officers stipulated by their contract while the rest of the unincorporated county had to absorb the staffing shortfall with slower response by tired and overworked deputies.“Maybe we should have a contract,” said Supervisor Janet Wolf. The supervisors were equally galled to learn that the money not spent because there were so many vacancies covered about $4 million of the $6 million annually spent on overtime.

Brown absorbed the questions, frequently answering, “I share your frustration.” The recruiting crisis, he told the board, was endemic to all law enforcement agencies. And despite all the problems, Brown expressed pride in the performance of his department, noting that his deputies made an arrest in the triple homicide of herbalist Henry Han, his wife, and their daughter within 32 hours of the bodies being discovered. Deltopia, he added, is no longer ground zero for Spring Break rages, and his department helped collect 30,000 pounds of old and expired prescription medications.

Based on the selflessness and sense of purpose his deputies exhibited, Brown said, he’d select the Cicero quote, “Not for ourselves alone are we born.” In the meantime, he and the supervisors will convene a collective brain dump to solve the $11 million mystery of the North County jail bids on May 5. And this week’s Punch and Judy exhibition between Brown and the supervisors was just a preview of the long deliberative process that won’t conclude until early this n summer.

in i.V.’s hands

Isla Vista residents are officially poised to vote this November on whether or not to approve an 8 percent utility-users tax to fund the formation of a community services district. What was once considered an unorthodox political football that Assemblymember Das Williams threw long appears as though it could pass, capitalizing on the energy of the November election, when young, liberal I.V. voters turn out in droves.

The county’s Local Agency Formation Commission — better known as LAFCO (pronounced laugh-co) — voted Thursday to place the creation of the special district on this fall’s ballot. In addition, there will be an election for five representatives (another two would be appointed) to sit on the district board. Also on the ballot will be an 8 percent utility-users tax — on trash, water, and other things — which would bring in an estimated half million dollars each year. Plus, UCSB pledged to chip in $200,000 for seven years. All that would fund additional amenities, including tenant-landlord mediation, additional police officers, building enforcement, and public works projects. The formation of the special district requires a majority vote; for it to have money to pay for services, two-thirds of Isla Vista voters need to approve the tax.

The backstory is that LAFCO commissioners have for a year balked at the proposal, better known as AB 3, which Williams drafted, pushed through the State Legislature, and managed to secure Governor Jerry Brown’s signature on last October. Traditionally, per state law, LAFCO commissioners hold authority to form special districts through a lengthy application process.

Attempts to use that process to establish special districts or full-blown cityhood in Isla Vista — widely reputed to be the most densely populated unincorporated area in the nation — have failed a number of times in past decades. In 2014, jumping on the momentum of coming together after a tumultuous year of gang rapes, riots, and mass murder, Williams and his supporters sought to circumvent the LAFCO pro— Kelsey Brugger cess; so far, they have been successful.

A Chapter for Your

Museum The Santa Barbara Museum of Art is undertaking the most ambitious building renovation project in its history. The need is great, and it is urgent.

At the center of the renovations is the need to safeguard the 28,000 works of art in the collection, to ensure the safety of visitors and staff, and to provide spaces that bring art alive and enhance the visitor experience. The campaign will fund essential upgrades, ranging from seismic retrofitting for earthquakes to replacing an aging roof and mechanical systems for a building that’s more than 100 years old.

We are asking those who believe in the power of art to invest in our renovation and expansion efforts.

Laminate from COMIN’ ‘ROUND THE BEND: A county plan would eliminate informal railroad crossings at Santa Claus Lane.

Naughty or Nice?

Mixed Reviews of County Plan to Fence Santa Claus Lane Beach Crossing

F

by k e i t h h A M M or decades, the beach that parallels Santa Claus Lane was a hidden gem, with free parking a short jaunt to the sea and, more recently, a handful of nearby eateries and other small shops.

The nearly one-mile stretch — popular with families, surfers, and day-trippers from around the county and beyond—has long maintained a rural freedom of sorts, accentuated by the very real danger that rumbles to life every time a beachgoer crosses the railroad tracks via one of several trails through the low dunes and seawall riprap.

Modern trains are fast and quiet, and as they round the bend near Santa Claus Lane, it’s not uncommon for them to sneak up on pedestrians.

As the beach’s popularity has soared over the years — with an estimated 1,000 visitors on any given sunny summer day— Santa Barbara County land-use planners have slowly moved forward with long-held plans to revamp Santa Claus Lane with improved parking, bathrooms, and a safe crossing over the tracks to the sand. While there’s no debating that burgeoning crowds and speeding trains make for a deadly matchup — as in 2007, when Carpinteria’s Alan Shapiro and his dog, Sable, were killed there by a northbound passenger train—there’s been significant pushback on the county’s plan to develop one safe crossing and fence off all the rest.

Currently along Santa Claus Lane, there are a dozen or so trails to the beach, all of them within a few hundred yards of where the road begins at Padaro Lane. These old, informal paths to the tracks and the beach beyond are the only public access points along the five-mile stretch of coastline between Summerland’s Loon Point parking lot (which is gated at night) and Carpinteria city limits near Ash Avenue.

“The county’s plan is getting mixed reviews,” said Chris Keet, founder of Surf Happens surf camp, now in its 17th year at Santa Claus Beach. “Over the years, I’ve pulled at least 10 people off the tracks as the train was coming through. It can be danger-

ous. But there needs to be more than one crossing to the beach.”

While the county plans to provide a dropoff spot—where beachgoers can leave their gear while tending to parking — the majority of the complaints fielded by planners in recent weeks lament the inevitable bottleneck created by multiple families, summer camps, and occasional wedding parties stacked up at a single crossing point.

County officials contend that their plan’s entire scope — which includes more than 100 additional parking spots and beach access compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act —“will more than offset any potential inconvenience that having just one crossing may cause,” said Supervising Planner Allen Bell. He added that none of the existing crossings are technically legal; pedestrians on the tracks are trespassing on Union Pacific property.“The county’s goal is to provide a safe, legal crossing.”

By several accounts, the county was lucky to secure even a single, authorized at-grade crossing. The California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulates such crossings, Bell explained, and its policy is to eliminate at-grade crossings. Initially, the PUC would only entertain a pedestrian tunnel or bridge at the location, the former deemed too expensive by the county while the latter got a thumbs-down from the California Coastal Commission. Further, to get the PUC’s blessing for Santa Claus Lane, the county had to identify and shut down an illegal crossing elsewhere in the county, which it did in an agricultural area near Lompoc, Bell said.“The PUC has been willing to support one at-grade crossing [at Santa Claus Lane], but a second or third crossing isn’t in the realm of possibility.” The PUC is also requiring the county to install four-foot-tall metal fencing on either side of the new crossing, ostensibly to keep pedestrians from using the old trails.

Staffers in 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal’s office and county planners are meeting internally on April 14 to discuss the public’s concerns and organize community n forums as the plan progresses.

The Dog that Didn’t Bark

SECOND THOUGHTS: It was more a shrug

than a statement. “It happens,” the voice said.

The voice belonged to Marcia Morrissey, a 65-year-old Santa Monica lawyer who’s spent the past 30 years challenging death penalty convictions. I met Morrissey briefly this week over the phone. While we spoke, another phone in her office kept going off. There was no receptionist, and Morrissey needed to take someone to the hospital. Morrissey, I would find out, is the F. Lee Bailey/Johnnie Cochran most people never heard of. Back when Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. still went by the name Snoop Doggy Dogg and was facing murder charges, it was Morrissey who got him off.

In 2005, Morrissey inherited a death penalty appeal filed on behalf of Santa Barbara defendant George Herbert “Spider” Wharton, who in 1986 took a hammer to the head of his girlfriend Linda Smith and stuffed her

body, covered in blankets and plastic, into a large cardboard barrel. Smith’s body would be discovered by police two weeks later. There was no doubt Wharton did it; he confessed.

The only issue was whether Wharton — a large, bearded, paranoid schizophrenic black man with severe rage and addiction issues — acted with premeditation. Wharton said he and Smith had been drinking and arguing.

She threw a book at him. Then she was dead.

A Santa Barbara jury would find otherwise.

Only two weeks before the murder, jurors heard, Wharton told his psychiatrist he feared

he might kill Smith. He wanted help. This, the jury concluded, constituted premeditation. The jury also heard that in 1975 Wharton kicked a male UCSB professor to death who’d asked about his sexual availability. That same year, Wharton also raped a 61-year-old woman at knifepoint after she let him into her house so he could make a phone call. For that, he got seven years. In 1987 — after three days of deliberation — a Santa Barbara jury sentenced Wharton to death row, where he’s lived the past 29 years.

A major issue was whether jurors should ever have heard what Wharton told his therapist. Such communications, by law, are privileged and confidential. An even bigger issue, it turned out, is what the jurors were never told about the sexual abuse Wharton experienced as a child. By any reckoning, it was a lot, and federal Judge Cormac Carney conceded as much. Even so, Carney found —in initial rulings early on in the case—this omission did not prejudice the jury’s decision.

But late last November, Judge Carney changed his mind. He did so only after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled he needed to re-examine the question. (In July 2014, Carney ruled the death penalty as practiced in California unconstitutional, a ruling overturned a year later.) Just three weeks ago, in the courtroom of Santa Barbara Judge Michael Carrozzo, George “Spider” Wharton was quietly re-sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. There was no fanfare, no

press releases issued. Neither the Santa Barbara District Attorney nor the California Attorney General objected. And Bill Duval, Wharton’s original defense attorney, wouldn’t hear what happened until three days later.

It’s a big deal. Of the 748 inmates now on death row, 10 were sent there by Santa Barbara County prosecutors and juries. Now there are nine. No one can remember a Santa Barbara death sentence ever being reversed before. It’s a big deal.

In 1986, defense attorney Duval hired investigator Craig Stewart to go to Wharton’s hometown in rural Louisiana to dredge up any details that might soften the jurors’ hearts. Wharton repeatedly told Stewart to talk to his older half-brother, Gerald Crawford. Crawford, Wharton stressed, knew the whole story. But for reasons still unknown, Stewart never did. Still, what he found out was plenty chilling. Stewart discovered Wharton’s step-grandfather, the 65 300-pound David Lee —aka “Big Daddy”—took an intense dislike to Wharton. Big Daddy, Stewart reported, would wrap Wharton in a burlap sack, tie it with a rope, and swing the rope over the branch of a tree. After hoisting his grandson aloft, Big Daddy would start a low-flamed fire underneath, effectively “smoking” the young Wharton for hours at a time.

Had Stewart talked to Wharton’s halfbrother, he most certainly would have heard how Big Daddy sexually abused Wharton over a sustained period of time. He would

have heard Big Daddy also sexually abused two of Wharton’s sisters and also the family dog. When Wharton’s mother was a little girl, Big Daddy tried to abuse her, too. To get away, she moved out. She was 11 years old. In addition, Stewart would have heard Wharton’s biological father also abused him sexually.

Over the years, Stewart testified numerous times he had no recollection of ever speaking with Crawford. On one occasion, however, he recalled speaking to Crawford on the phone but could not remember what was said.

Stewart kept detailed notes of all his interviews. For Crawford, there was only a brief notation of Crawford’s name, no statements.

Three months before a 2006 evidentiary hearing on just this issue, Stewart experienced an epiphany. He couldn’t say whether it came in a dream or “if it was whatever.” But he recalled having spoken with Crawford. Crawford, however, had no such recollection. And in multiple sworn statements dating back to 1993, his testimony never changed.

If the jury heard about this sustained sexual abuse, would it have made a difference?

Maybe. Maybe not. The point is they never had the evidence to weigh. Stewart never asked the right guy.

In hindsight, Morrissey has no inclination to wax righteous about Stewart’s shortcomings. He’s dead, and as she said, “It happens.”

As for death penalty reversals, Morrissey added, “That doesn’t happen very often.” In 30 years, Morrissey has had just three. With a quick apology, Morrissey cut our conversation short. “I have to take someone to the — Nick Welsh hospital,” she explained.

Elsie Kelemen passed away peacefully at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on March 26 after complications from a stroke. She lived to enjoy her 100th Birthday Bash surrounded by family and friends.

Elsie Esther Kelemen was born to John and Goldie Schreiber on February 14, 1916. She grew up in New York City and Brooklyn, NY, and worked as a secretary on Wall Street before marrying Dr. Nicholas Kelemen on November 21, 1940.

She was a bright woman who brought joy to all her interactions. She and her husband lived in East Newark, NJ, where Elsie was an active member of her community, generously volunteering her time in a variety of organizations including the Welfare Assistance Board in East Newark, chairing the Hudson County Cultural Council, serving as vice president of the Women’s Auxiliary of West Hudson Hospital, vice president of the Kearny Safety Council, and as a member of the Steering Committee for the West Hudson Girl Scouts. She also served as president of the Board of Education for East Newark. In 1974, she was Local Municipal Chairman for the United Way for East Newark. She thoroughly enjoyed being an active volunteer with the Half Penny Playhouse in Kearny, NJ.

“Each day was a blessing and a gift for me - not one regret left standing” – EDG Our beautiful wife, mother and grandmother, Erline Goodell left this world on March 30 after a three-year journey through the complications of multiple strokes. Throughout these years her amazing husband, three children, son- and daughter-in-law, and eight grandchildren were by her side holding her hand and keeping the faith that she would recover.

Erline began her life in Portland, Oregon, on October 10, 1939, as the daughter of Ted and Elizabeth Elkin. Her family moved around quite a bit when she was a child, and her older sister Joyce and younger brother Tom were a wonderful comfort to her.

She attended UC Santa Barbara, where she met and fell in love with Dexter Goodell, her beloved husband of 56 years. She began her life-long passion for learning with her teaching credential and a job as a 3rd grade teacher. Throughout her life she touched so many lives through education. She

The Big One

T

he entire California coastline lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire earthquake zone, which has become much more active in recent years. As the earth’s polar caps and glaciers melt at an ever-accelerating rate (2015 was the hottest year on record), the reduced weight on both the top and bottom of our planet is causing the Earth’s tectonic plates to shift. This increased movement is responsible for larger and more frequent earthquakes.

Unfortunately, most of us have been lulled into a false sense of security. Scientists assure us that it is only a matter of time before our state experiences The Big One, a horrific natural disaster. According to recent studies, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia Fault could potentially produce a tsunami so large that it would wash away coastal towns.

The Diablo Cove Fault, which runs east to west directly under the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant’s Unit One Reactor and turbine building, is seismically linked to the Shoreline Fault, the Hosgri Fault, the San Andreas Fault, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone. In addition to these major faults, there are thousands of undiscovered collaterals. Collaterals are faults that branch off of major fault lines. The power stored in this combined network of fault systems can create an earthquake sufficient to exceed Diablo Canyon’s safeguards. The idea that nuclear power plants are durable enough to withstand strong earthquakes and other external shocks is a total myth. Why must we continue to live with this unnecessary danger?

It is no longer rational for us to suffer the risks posed by the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. We need to remove this aging hazard from our coastline as soon as possible.

Jail Costs Up, Need Down

D

idn’t Santa Barbara County vote down the proposed jail in 2000 by 61 percent to 39 percent, and didn’t our county again in 2010 vote down the same proposed jail by again 61 percent to 39 percent?

Hasn’t Proposition 47 been shown to have decreased county jail populations in California by nearly 10 percent since it passed in November 2014? Aren’t we anticipating, with treatment centers, to decrease our existing S.B. County Jail population substantially?

Don’t we now have proposals to significantly reduce bail costs so that many fewer awaiting trial will be jailed as is done currently?

Can’t we bring down our recidivism rate, a disgrace at upward of 70 percent?

At the very least we should once more query the voters of this county as to their will now concerning a proposed jail.

We expect our supervisors to show wisdom and justice.

— Joe Cain, S.B.

LOSER: A 27-year-old Texan was having sex with a New York tourist on the High Roller Ferris wheel (100 feet higher than London’s Eye) in the glass-enclosed capsule while onlookers videoed them.

Upon returning to earth, they were arrested. Then a TV series paid him $4,000 cash to appear. There’s more. Back home in Houston he flashed the greenbacks and was soon carjacked — and shot to death. His assailants were quickly arrested.

It’s a town where anything can happen. Last weekend the hotels were pelted by a heavy, cold downpour, clearing the pools due to thunder and lightning.

Fighting Slavery in Our Community Human Trafficking Targets the Young and Vulnerable

A

by ASSemblymember DAS WilliAmS

my is 16 years old. She has

survived abuse at home and is being sex trafficked on the street in a nice suburban town in Ventura County. Like Amy (whose name has been changed to protect her), dozens of young girls and boys in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties are vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation and are often recruited by their own peers for a pay bonus.

Because of real cases like this, there is a growing awareness in the United States of human trafficking for labor and sexual exploitation. This is not simply a problem in other parts of the world, and it doesn’t just consist of individuals brought across international or state borders. The recruitment and exploitation goes on here in our own hometowns, and foster youth, homeless individuals, and survivors of domestic violence are particularly susceptible.

We must remain committed to fight perpetrators who manipulate children for personal gain. Existing law offers judges very little flexibility when they determine the sentencing of these heinous criminals.

This often results in inadequate sentences that are not sufficient deterrents against repeat criminal behavior, or sentences that are inadequate given the nature of the trafficking operation in question. That is why I have introduced AB 2513, a bill to provide judges with the discretion to consider the vulnerability of the victim as an aggravating factor when sentencing human-trafficking criminals.

Proposition 35, the Californians Against Sexual Exploitation (CASE) Act initiative, was passed back in 2012 with 81 percent of the vote. The initiative increased prison terms for human traffickers, required convicted sex traffickers to register as sex offenders, directed criminal fines from convicted human traffickers into a fund for services to help victims, and mandated law enforcement training on human trafficking.

Unfortunately, the CASE Act does not have a provision that protects victims who are especially easy to target. AB 2513 amends the CASE Act to specify that when sentencing an offender convicted of human trafficking, California judges have the discretion to consider as an aggravating factor the fact that the defendant recruited, enticed, or obtained the victim from a shelter or placement that is designed to serve runaway youth, foster children, homeless persons, or victims of human trafficking or domestic violence.

The deliberate targeting of vulnerable groups of victims should be considered

an “aggravating factor” for at least two reasons. It reflects premeditation on the part of the convicted party to purposefully seek out a particularly vulnerable person as a victim. Additionally, it undermines the principle that society has a special responsibility to protect its most at-risk citizens.

Several circumstances can increase a victim’s susceptibility, such as homelessness, belonging to a foster program, or being a victim of domestic violence. For these individuals who have already had their ties to society frayed, being trafficked can be particularly harmful. Victims targeted from their foster homes, for example, lose contact with their community and have their education and development impeded.

According to the Human Rights Project for Girls, in 2013, 60 percent of the child sex-trafficking victims recovered as part of an FBI nationwide raid from more than 70 cities were children from foster care or group homes. This statistic reveals an unsettling fact: Criminals who engage in human trafficking keep watch on foster youth because they know they represent a vulnerable population.

Foster youth in our community should not be entering a system where they fear being subjected to unsafe care.

Foster youth should be placed in loving circumstances that will protect them from exploitation. It is vital to our public safety that we create stricter laws; otherwise, our youth and at-risk individuals will continue to be targeted for human trafficking.

I believe AB 2513 can keep criminals from getting comfortable by targeting “easy prey” who they can utilize for their own financial gain. By not taking action today as a state, we are saying it is okay for criminal groups to continue to abuse foster youth. That is unacceptable! Should AB 2513 become law, California will continue to blaze a trail for the rest of the country to follow.

Foster care is a positive and vital program that aims to protect children, not lead them further into a life of neglect and negativity. My goal is to relentlessly improve our valued foster care system despite the attempts of criminals to do otherwise.

I ask the community to join with me in supporting AB 2513 to protect the members of our society from human trafficking, slave labor, and sexual exploitation. We can only fight these illicit behaviors by having laws on the books to thwart criminals from causing harm.

By passing AB 2513, the children of our community will be safer. n

BERRY REVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE: Scientists turn food waste into protective coatings for produce at Apeel’s Reddick Street offices, where the team is targeting blueberries as its first American commercial market. Meanwhile, the company is also working with developing nations in Africa to protect staple crops such as cassava, as well as horticultural crops such as banana, mango, tomato, and pineapple.

bananas, and roses where camera rigs take time-lapse photos showing of the effectiveness of the different coatings.“Every kind of produce needs different tweaking,” said Rogers, whose technology is making blueberries last four days longer and stretching avocados another 12 days, all without refrigeration.

“They are onto something potentially big in the produce world,” said Jay Ruskey of Good Land Organics, a farm on the western edge of Goleta, where he’s tested the product on finger limes and found that it does halt spoilage. “This is done without really hard chemicals/ fungicides that are common today. They derive their ingredients naturally and, in a way, seem to mimic the produce’s natural defense but makes it much more robust,” said Ruskey.

“It will be great to see where the company can go in the next 18 months.”

T

he science, while revolutionary, might be the easiest part of the Apeel equation. In the last three years, Rogers has endured crash courses in commercial farming and international food distribution, quickly determining that his most likely customers will be the grocery stores and processing plants that handle the produce.

“They have the economic incentive to get this product to their suppliers,” said Rogers. That goes for American chains like Albertsons all the way down to the collectives in Kenya that move the cassava.

Though not technically philanthropic, Apeel’s African projects are more focused on goodwill than the bottom line, which is why the Rockefeller Foundation (which is fighting post-harvest spoilage in horticultural crops such as mangos and tomatoes) and the Gates Foundation (which is focused on staples such as cassava) have thrown support behind the company.“The foundation’s agriculture strategy is focused on empowering smallholder farmers with a variety of knowledge, tools, and technologies, like this one being developed by Apeel, to improve their livelihoods and lift themselves and their families out of poverty,” said Rinn Self of the Gates Foundation.

Meanwhile, Rogers will soon be enlisting his first American clients — three organic farms in the Santa Barbara area — to monitor how the product fares in the real world. He’ll even soon be building a sales room and, yes, a real front desk.“My objective is to be selling out of our stuff in the next six months,” said Rogers. Apeel’s current operation will be able to produce enough product to treat up to two metric tons of fruit per week. But Rogers is looking for a larger facility, even scoping greenhouses in Carpinteria for future R&D. The only opposition he may face would be from individual growers who do well in the current system of waste, but he’s not too concerned.“Frankly, we shouldn’t be growing berries that we’re throwing away anyway, so I don’t feel too bad about that,” he said.

What he’s overjoyed about, though, is running a company that isn’t just about making money, and doing so surrounded by other scientists who feel the same.“We’re not making the next app to get you laid — we could actually move the needle here,” said Rogers, who’s proud to say that his 22 years of schooling have finally amounted to something.“We’ve had a lot of resources poured into us, and we’re applying our knowledge to benefit the greater good.

ike many space junkies and budding engineers around the

globe, Trevor Fritz follows SpaceX very closely, so he watched in awe on April 8 as the company successfully landed a reusable rocket on a barge in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, a major milestone for interstellar exploration. Fritz, a UCSB mechanical engineering undergrad, hopes to be part of another SpaceX history-making venture. He is part of a university team competing to revolutionize travel here on Earth.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk — the big-brained entrepreneur behind PayPal and Tesla Motors — announced a competition for college students to design levitating passenger pods for his proposed Hyerloop project, a new mode of solar-powered, high-speed travel that would hurtle riders through vacuum tubes at 700 mph. Musk had come up with the idea a couple UCSB of years ago while he sat in Los Hyperloop Team Angeles traffic but said he was Making Transport too busy with his electric car and private space companies to History pursue it.

“Short of figuring out real teleportation, which would, of course, be awesome (someone

by Tyler Hayden please do this), the only option for super fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment,” Musk wrote in his white paper on the subject. If the Hyperloop were built along Interstate 5 in California, he said, it would cut travel time between L.A. and San Francisco to 30 minutes, cost much less than a high-speed rail ($6-$10 billion compared to $60 billion), and boast a range of ecological benefits, like reduced gas consumption and car emissions and overall less energy per passenger. Musk termed it a “fifth mode” of transport — after cars, planes, trains, and boats.

The response was huge. More than 1,200 teams entered the design contest, and after a few elimination rounds, including final judging at

Most of the other pods will weigh more than 1,000 pounds and cost more than $100,000 to build.

Window into the

he next time you walk by an office building or are inside

looking out, pay close attention to the windows. Chances are they’re heavily tinted to reduce computer glare and to absorb heat, helping the building to stay cooler. In fact, many windows block half the sunlight entering a room, reflecting the rest of the solar energy back into the world.

Four years ago, Daniel Next Energy Emmett, an expert in energy Technologies efficiency and conservation with a background in commercial Turning Windows real estate, and Corey Hoven, a into Solar Panels recent PhD graduate from the Materials Department at UCSB,

by Tyler Hayden teamed up with the simple yet groundbreaking idea to harness that extra power by turning windows into solar panels. They formed Next Energy Technologies, applied for federal grants, and settled into an office park behind Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, where 14 chemists and engineers have toiled to create an entirely new generation of solar technology.

Now, said Emmett and Hoven during a tour of their labs last Thursday, Next Energy is on the cusp of breaking into the market with a transparent solar cell ink that can be printed directly onto standard dual-pane windows. The challenge was finding a solution clear and cheap enough for architects and building owners to adopt.

And it had to pass batteries of efficiency and durability tests.“It’s been a long road to TINY BUT MIGHTY: A small sample of Next Energy’s solar window powers the get here,” said Emmett. fan behind it.

The small-molecule technology is based on organic semiconductors pioneered at UCSB under Alan Heeger, who won a Nobel Prize for his work in 2000.

The window arrays will act just like a big solar field, connected in a grid attached to a power inverter. Some day down the line, the ink may be printed on flexible materials such as tents or awnings, or incorporated into roof materials. It may also be used for lightweight, portable generation in developing countries.

Next Energy has succeeded where other developers failed, especially in cracking the code to make the product commercially viable. “We look better, generate more energy, and cost less,” Hoven summed up.

“This is designed to be a no-brainer decision,” Emmett said. “Put in a normal window, or a normal window with this functionality.” They can also customize the ink’s color and transparency, which is applied when the window is manufactured. The active layer of the solar cells is only 100 nanometers thick — 1/100,000th of a centimeter. That contrasts with bulky silicon solar panels, which use expensive, rare earth minerals that need to be mined and purified.

Next Energy will go to market with a 10 percent power conversion efficiency that will net 100 watts per meter squared. “That’s a meaningful amount of power, especially over the side of a building,” Emmett said, noting new buildings these days trend toward a higher window-to-wall ratio. He estimated the panel system would power around 20 percent of a structure’s energy needs; buildings consume 40-50 percent of our global energy. “This has the potential to have really meaningful reductions on the carbon footprint and power use of commercial structures,” he said.

CLEAR VISION: Company cofounders Daniel Emmett (front) and Corey Hoven (back) peer through their product with their colleagues.

Though office spaces have done a lot to decrease their power demand in recent years, such as installing LEDs, incorporating smart heating and cooling software, and so on, there haven’t been any real options to produce on-site renewable energy.“We’d be the first to provide significant power,” said Hoven, which would allow business owners to save on their energy bills, especially during peak hours. Utility companies aren’t yet part of the conversation, said Emmett, though Next Energy has spoken with the California Public Utilities Commission about their project.

If an architect is interested in the solar windows, Next Energy would analyze the proposed building’s location, orientation, and elevation, as well as the area’s utility rate and weather patterns. That will determine performance and payback. Emmett tells potential customers — which include some of the biggest window manufacturers in the U.S.—that the system can pay for itself in about a year. He expects his windows to be in buildings in around 18 months.

‘This is designed to be a no-brainer decision,’ Emmett said. ‘Put in a normal window, or a normal window with this functionality.’

As Hoven led a tour of the lab, he introduced chemist Braden Smith, a 2012 UCSB graduate who worked on similar technologies in school.

Wearing safety goggles and an expression of deep concentration, Smith was hunkered over his laptop and workbench next to colored liquids steaming and swirling in glass beakers. Nearby were engineers Bruno Caputo, Rachel Harris, and Robert Manriquez, all UCSB graduates, as well, testing different solutions in enclosed solar boxes.

Next Energy has also hired some of the best minds in the business from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In 2012, Congressmember Lois Capps toured the facility and praised Santa Barbara–area start-ups for creating jobs and enticing investors. At the time, many other U.S. solar companies were struggling to keep up with their global competitors. Next Energy was able to stay relatively lean and mean by buying its equipment at auctions and getting by without any venture capital.

Emmett takes great pride in forming a company that will soon “make buildings part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.” He never bought into the notion that there has to be a trade-off between good business and good practice. “Every time I see something that speaks to that, I get really excited. And this is it. This has the potential to be really n transformative.”

With the support of the Beekeepers Guild of Santa Barbara, 6th graders at Peabody Charter School have been diligently tending to the 250 sunflower seedlings that they will be exchanging for a small donation at this week weekend’s Earth Day Festival. The public-outreach project is part of a nationwide emphasis on planting sunflowers called The Great Sunflower Project, which aims to raise awareness to the plight of honeybees everywhere due to drought and insufficient amounts of pollen. “As honeybees are responsible for pollinating nearly a third of what we eat, it’s important that the kids understand their role,” said the guild’s John Ummel, who will also be giving away 2,000 sunflower seed packets donated by Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. The guild is also working on a “bee friendly” sticker program in collaboration with nurseries so that customers can identify plants that bees are particularly attracted to.

aniel Ruiz had already been cutting his own hair for several years before taking his shears to a few shaggy kids at Shoreline Community Church, where he was working part-time in the youth-group ministry.

Ruiz offered his services, and the old man agreed.

orn in the borderland between Texas and Mexico, Pat Mora has spent the last three decades carving out a larger space for bilingual children’s literature in libraries across the U.S. On April 15, the bicultural poet, nonfiction writer, and children’s author will travel from her Santa Fe home to Santa Barbara City College, where she will give the May Hill Arbuthnot Honor Lecture. Since 1969, the national honor— honor a tribute to the eponymous children’s literature scholar— scholar has been given each year by the Association for Library Service to Children to a pioneering youth lit advocate.

The Santa Barbara Independent spoke with Mora, a writer strongly rooted in her Mexican-American heritage, about her S.B. visit and “¡Alegria en los libros!” (or “Bookjoy”), a phrase she created to describe the wonder of reading. “The private pleasure of sitting down with a good book,” bookjoy is one of the ways for us all to expand our emotional knowledge, said Mora.

The ability to escape into another’s perspective through reading is key to Día de los Niños, Día de los Libros (Children’s Day, Book Day), an April 30 holiday Mora founded 20 years ago to encourage yearround reading in diverse families. On April 16, she’ll celebrate early with kids’ storytime in Spanish and English at the Central Library, where she also hopes to meet parents. “[We] need to honor home languages and the power of [parents’] experiences,” because, she says, they know a lot. “It doesn’t matter what the home language is.”

“I think we need to realize as professionals that we need to try to engage all families as partners,” said Mora of educators’ occasional struggle to promote literacy. She worked as a middle and high school teacher, a university administrator, and a museum director before focusing on her writing. Mora says the way to get kids reading is to “coach parents,” “to teach the importance of chatting with kids, the importance of going to the library if you can’t purchase books.”

Growing up a voracious reader in a bilingual home, Mora saw the disparity between her own face and the faces of her literary heroes.

Her first published children’s book, Tómas and the Library Lady, follows the life of a child whose horizons widen when he discovers the library. “The books we see in bookstores are often chosen and published with a specific kind of reading market in mind,” she says, one which she is working to expand with her growing list of children’s book titles.

saw a bald man on a new yellow bicycle. He rode down Milpas toward the ocean. His head and his bike were radiant in the sun at that hour.

A woman with an umbrella is having a long conversation with a schnauzer while they both get wet. Across the street at the Villa Santa Barbara, men in wheelchairs smoke under an awning.

At Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens, now the Pickle Room, the bar is full of pensioners for happy hour and jammed with hipsters when the sun goes down. Their very good fried rice, with egg à la mode, becomes “awesome,” “ridiculous,” and “fantastic” when the twenty-somethings arrive with their porkpie hats, dolphin tattoos, and cell phones. They’re talking football, college basketball, and Facebook. There are avocado egg rolls rising and falling from the invisible kitchen.

At the library on Anapamu and Anacapa, the dispossessed shuffle into the day, tidying their carts, plugging in makeshift solar panels to charge cell phones, lining up for the bathroom, and judging the temperature of the day and the lay of the land. There are shopping carts laden like toosmall studio apartments, backpacks, dogs, and cigarettes. They’re reading Tom Clancy and eating from The Habit bags. There will be many arguments before nightfall, when everything changes.

The most charming vista on the Eastside is best seen looking east from between the hooves of the metallic heifer statue on top of an apartment building or a home on Nopal, who is looking wistfully toward her concrete mother cow atop the old McConnell’s ice cream factory on Milpas.

A midget passes me on State, but I have no time to think about that because overtaking me is a 67 Rastafarian with dreadnoughts down to his ankles. All exposed flesh is inked. He’s wearing very stylish shades. For some reason I follow him to Enterprise Fish House, but just before that, he takes a right. I stop in for some soup. He is very young. I fear banking or hedge fund management is very much in his future.

I remember my ponytails, beards, tie-dyed shirts, work boots, and the clunky melody the bangles and bells of hippiedom made. In that annus mirabilis that was 1968, many of us got “clean for Gene” (McCarthy that is) or for Bobby Kennedy, and we ended up with Nixon, disco, and, ultimately, creatures like Dick Cheney, Donald Trump, and Lawrence Welk.

Already, rock and roll was beginning to die.

It was the Age of Aquarius, and I dressed for the occasion like an Elizabethan villain in a raucous London pub. It was our intent to shock, discomfort, and alert the previous generation that we had arrived and the times were about to fundamentally change. But that all went away, and we became bankers and stockbrokers and thoroughly befuddled soldiers in a vile and in-every-way-wrong war. We worked toward a BMW and away from whatever naïve dreams of Eden we had entertained or even cherished.

I was depressed over my lobster bisque. Not for the first time, I rued not following the midget.

koBe’s lAst stAnD Saying Good-Bye to the laker Great; Plus Bertka’s tendon, Big Moves for ucSB Alumni, and More

I

t seems right to praise Kobe Bryant even though the Lak-

ers are buried. The final minutes of Bryant’s 20-year pro basketball career were to unfold Wednesday night at the end of the most dismal season in the history of a club that brought 11 NBA championships to Los Angeles.

Bryant was the brightest star in five of those titles. He was the only star dimmed by injuries and age — in the Lakers’ last three seasons, each of them setting a new precedent in losing. Critics blame the decline partly on Kobe’s rich contract extension ($48.5 million for the last two years) that restricted the club’s ability to add proven players to the roster.

Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak rebuffed that notion last month during an appearance at the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s annual “March Madness” gathering. What Kupchak saw three years ago — April 12, 2013, the night Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon — goes a long way to explain why the Lakers signed him up through the end of his second decade. “He walked off the court [with the tendon severed above his left heel],” Kupchak recalled. “He walked back on to shoot free throws, made them both, and walked off again.” Nowhere else could the GM find that kind of toughness.

Longtime Lakers scout Bill Bertka remembers putting Bryant, a Pennsylvania high school phenom, through a workout at an Inglewood gym before the 1996 NBA draft.

“So many of his traits were evident at that time,” Bertka said.

“Jerry West [then the GM] recognized his gifts. We were very closed-mouth about it.” When the draft came around, West engineered a deal in which the Lakers exchanged veteran center Vlade Divac for Bryant, Charlotte’s No. 13 pick.

It took some time for the flashy youngster to mature. He averaged 7.6 points a game in his rookie season. “People are knocking D’Angelo Russell,” Bertka said of the L.A.’s new rookie guard. “They might be surprised that he has better numbers than Kobe did.” Yet it is inconceivable that Russell or any other player will ever again persevere 20 years with the same team.

And will Russell work hard to improve his game? “Early in his career, Kobe had a reputation of not being a good

defensive player,” Bertka said. “Then he made the NBA’s All-Defensive team in 2000”— and 10 more times in the next 11 years.

Bryant’s relentless approach to the game, earning him the sobriquet Black Mamba, made him a favorite of the millennial generation. My nephew Eric Anderson, who grew up watching the Lakers win championships, is a staunch fan of his. Eric wrote in a Facebook post: “Kobe is the last competitive assassin left after [Michael] Jordan.”

With Bryant’s retirement, the Lakers will have the wherewithal to sign a couple of free agents to go along with a high draft pick. Their thinking might be different than it would have been a few years ago, because of the success of the Golden State Warriors.

14-Year-Old Caribbean Cask

So people actually market “summer whiskeys” now.

You can sort of see why with this pour, an odd but far from ugly duckling that gives you a Speyside single malt that seems to have swam via the Caribbean — it has been finished in American oak rum casks. So it’s a touch sweet, particularly on the nose, with plenty of vanilla.

That’s a highlight of the taste, too, but it’s still mostly whiskey rich — toffee, malt, and fruit notes that seem more tropical with the rum hints.

While it would be a fine after-dinner pour with a drop of water to waken it, it might be particularly nice after a dessert such as bananas foster. And, of course, if we start getting Cuban cigars …

The 1975

Latest RecoRd is confident and seLf-RefeRentiaL

W

hen my sister and I spoke with frontman Matthew Healy of The 1975 the day before his birthday, he was in Berlin, readying himself for a show. “Bowie lived here with Iggy Pop,” he mentioned. An amazing city, we agreed, an artful place. But more, it’s an apropos city from which a man such as Healy may speak: a famously creative and evolving city in cross-reference with its darker earlier years, a place steeped in music that straddles aesthetics and histories of pasts and futures both.

The 1975’s newest album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It It, is both confidently new and knowingly self-referential to past works, both their own and the music that inspired it. “The new album almost makes jokes about the naiveté of the first album; there’s a wisdom or knowing about myself that replaces the naiveté,” he said.“The first album was about,‘When will I resolve myself?’ or ‘When will I better myself?’… This album is more about self-acceptance.”

The world at large, too, is beginning to accept— accept and embrace and pine for and adore — what The 1975 brings to the table. From a narrow-minded, categorical PR standpoint, they’re slightly confounding and have been a lightning rod for criticisms and furrowed brows: Are they sincerely emotional, or imitatively? Are they reinvigorating and innovating the past, or thieving from it? Can they really be that talented and indie and famous and beautiful? “It annoys the fucking hell out of me,” Healy said of the somewhat sex-symbol status he and his bandmates have earned in some circles and the suspicions that have ensued. “When I started the band, I didn’t even think about what we looked like. I’m an anti-sex symbol; I’m definitely on the weird end of the spectrum.”

Healy acknowledges the first album encapsulated the band’s most nascent years, with songs written over a 10-year period of time.

“You had songs like ‘Menswear’; ‘Sex’ is juvenile in a nice way— way I understand where the misconceptions came from,” he said of the early boy-band accusations. It was all about context, he explained.

Healy described the new phase as being in conversation with the old, referencing past lyrics and motifs with new sounds and visuals.“It’s very conversational— conversational it’s a cultivation of our little world and who we are, and the essence of that is subtextual things. Self-awareness is so important to us and our music.”

And in some ways, they’re back where they began. “It’s kind of like doing it again from the beginning— beginning and it’s kind of weird. I had the whole two years of touring and came to know the whole experience, and now it’s evolving again,” Healy said. As the band’s fame has expanded, the lead singer has gone further inward, and yet as the inner circle has closed, his musical mission has become more broad-minded and communal.“It’s a really weird phase. I’ve almost become more altruistic as I’ve become more insular.”While the first album was “very wrapped up in my desire for people to know who I was,” he is now more of a craftsman — focused on creating the best work he can.

Healy hopes to connect with the fans on a deep level and speaks of music in a big-picture way as a uniting force. It’s not uncommon for him to ask fans at concerts to turn their cell phones off for a song— not in an aggressively Luddite way but as a reminder of why song they’re all there in the first place: to share the presence of music.“It’s about appreciating that we’re all in a room, not pretending that we’re not,” he said.

Weezer

Iggy PoP

Inspired by frontman Rivers Cuomo’s Santa Monica nabe, Weezer’s beach-y “White Album” aims to recapture their 1990s vibe, but too many moments resemble Beach Boys updates or spare parts from 2005’s disposable Make Believe.

Sonically uneventful “King of the World” addresses Mrs. Cuomo’s anxieties.

While the intriguing “Jacked Up” flaunts Cuomo’s falsetto across staccato reggae piano, nautical-themed “Wind in Our Sail” offers the poor man’s “Island in the Sun.” Weezer won’t be mistaken for that other “White Album.” After 2014’s ambitious, transcendent Everything Will Be Alright in the End End, the default Weezer formula here often disappoints. But the objective’s clear: a summery confection as insouciant as the lovebirds in “(Girl We Got a) Good Thing,” “driving to Ventura on the 101 / It sounds like fun to me.” — Michael Aushenke

The Iggster returns with a kick-ass album, ably backed by Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme (doing double duty as co-collaborator and producer) and Dean Fertita, and Matt Helders of the Arctic Monkeys. As producer, Homme homages not only Iggy’s enduring “godfather of punk” legacy but also the late, eternal David Bowie’s producer contributions to seminal ’70s post-Stooges-depression Iggy solo albums The Idiot and Lust for Life. The “Stone Age Monkeys” lock into a simian groove behind Iggy as he rants like a troglodyte on “Paraguay.” Other highlights include The Doors-ish “Break Into Your Heart,” the jaded “American Valhalla,” and the seamy “Gardenia,” a lust-over-love counterpoint to Pop classic “Candy.” Post Pop Depression is easily the best Iggy Pop release since 1990’s Brick By Brick.

Tucker Bodine

What’s Up With playback RecoRding stUdio?

Playback Recording Studio is back; in fact, it never left.

Recent staff changeovers have led some in town wondering if the studio has shuttered its doors. The rumors aren’t true — quite the opposite. This year sees the venerable recording bastion expanding its services, offering a greater array of rooms, personnel, and equipment to serve an even greater set of entertainment needs.

Hearsay has circulated recently that Playback was no longer doing business, but owner and head engineer Tucker Bodine figures that misperception was not only from staff switch-ups but also due to a slight shift in focus, as he worked with fewer area artists than in the past and directed more energies toward publishing.

But Playback is very much here, and bigger than ever.

So what’s new at Playback? Lots. Santa Barbara favorite Layovr now works as the house band, ready to bring its musicianship to any project that needs a band. “We have done this with many artists, and the results have been incredible,” Bodine said.

There are also new rooms — a writer’s room called the Dragon’s Den, and Studio B, a place where artists can develop their sound with the assistance of in-house production team Undefeated, which consists of chief engineer DJ Overtone and Austin Sexton. Playback is expanding its publishing assistance, too, helping artists secure ASCAP licensing and offering recording rates for those with smaller budgets. “We have a lot of inroads for placement for artists,” Bodine said.

Playback is also continuing to do more and more television and commercial work, with projects that include postproduction on Jeff Bridges’s The Giver and commercials for Geico and Burger King. The studio is reaching out, too, with community events in the works, including an industry mixer at UCSB. Yet with all these expansions, Bodine said one thing has remained unchanged: the atmosphere. “What makes Playback special and sets us apart is the vibe,” he said, citing the relaxed setting and the TEC Award–winning, acoustically tuned rooms by Chris Pelonis.

So the studio’s not closed; it’s very much alive. “It’s been amazing to see how diverse the culture in town is, and it’s been an unbelievable experience to help others pursue their dreams,” Bodine said. “We’re grateful for everybody here in town who’s supported us over the years.” Here’s to many more years ahead.

ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE: Brothers Bruno (left) and Odiseo Bichir lampoon Hollywood hierarchies in their bilingual sociopolitical comedy eXtras, which plays at the Rubicon Theatre.

Brothers on the Border B

runo Bichir — who, along with his brothers, Odiseo and Demián, belongs to one of the most internationally renowned acting families from Mexico — recalls a time on a movie set when a starlet looked down upon him and his fellow Latin American actors on set. “She treated us like lovely savages who don’t have education,” he said. “But it’s the whole opposite, and I was furious, because she thought it was that simple. My history — that she didn’t know at the time — was more complex.”

It’s relegations like these that fuel the comedy of Bruno and Odiseo’s production of eXtras, a loving send-up of Hollywood and all its hierarchies playing at the Rubicon Theatre through May 1 in association with Foro Shakespeare, with a Spanish-language version on April 19 and May 1. The play, written

by Sabina Berman, is a loose adaptation of Marie Jones’s Olivier Award–winning script Stones in His Pockets. Directed by Bruno and acted out entirely by both him and Odiseo — with more than 15 characters played between them — eXtras tells the tale of what happens when a Hollywood production set visits a California/Mexico border town for a film shoot and consequently disrupts the entire community.

The Brothers Bichir, then with Demián, had first performed the play in Mexico more than 13 years ago, and the Rubicon recently reached out to them about staging it in Ventura. It will be the Bichirs’ U.S. stage debut.

Opening the evening will be 17-year-old phenom Maya Burns, the young, bilingual Mexican-by-way-of-California composer who will also add transitional and background music for the play. eXtras, said Bruno, highlights immigration issues in its cultural critiques, with its main characters being two Mexican extras who hope, one day, to fulfill the American dream of being in the spotlight. “In a lot of the movies that Hollywood does about Latin America, they don’t have a lot of respect for mixing cultures. That’s why you have in an Indiana Jones movie a beautiful stone from

the Aztecs while Indiana Jones is in Peru, and they don’t care,” Bruno said. “We’re always consuming that history, and as they say, the history is written by the winner always. And we Mexican people and those two immigrants are the losers in the beginning of the story. They want to fit into this American dream of becoming stars, but they are nothing but extras in a movie about their Mexican history.”

Bruno said the play lambasts, in a loving way, the hierarchies that Hollywood projects onto the world, in which some people are stars, and others villains — or props. “At the bottom is the extra, and nobody cares if he rests or if he’s out in the sun or if he’s thirsty,” he said. The play also pokes fun at Hollywood’s usual typecasting, particularly because two Mexican actors will be playing all the parts. “We as Mexicans, we’ve been hired for a movie as the stupid [person] or the robber or the drug addict or the terrorist … we’re never, like, the hero.”

But the play, Odiseo insisted, is not vengeful or mean-spirited. Rather, it is a compassionate kind of comedy, one that recognizes shared humanity in all cultures and all roles big and small. “The media tell us about a world that is changing furiously, that is even more violent than we thought we would face,” he said. He noted Berman’s “tender and comprehensive and profound” characterizations and said the play treats all therein with respectfully good humor. “This is the kind of work that you really enjoy because … it is a unique moment to communicate with an audience and establish a celebration of life together as a community, no matter the culture of everyone in the audience, no matter the culture of the ones that are there on the stage.”

eXtras runs at the Rubicon Theatre (1006 E. Main St., Ventura) through May 1. For tickets and more information, call 667-2900 or visit rubicontheatre.org. independent.com

DESTINATION UNKNOWN: Unknown Mortal Orchestra, which headlines a sold-out show at SOhO tonight, continues to expand its sound with its newest, Multi-Love.

Know Your ShowS

MONDAY!

by Richie DeMaria

INTO THE UNKNOWN: The day after this issue comes out is April 15, a day living in infamy: Tax Day, Titanic sinking. While we may memorialize the bad or taxing times, few mark the moments just prior. We commemorate the storm, not the calm, and forget how innocent or ignorant we were yesterday before the turning of today. Why not celebrate, for a second, our unknowing?

It is under these vague terms that I announce the arrival of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, who plays tonight, Thursday, April 14, at an already-soldout SOhO show. Hailing from New Zealand and America both, the band, helmed by founder Ruban Nielson, likes to conjoin synthetic styles with R&B and soul grooves into new and unexpected formations. Their music has been described as “kaleidoscopic,” and their new music video, “MultiLove,” fits the label. With its rainbow colorations and lyrics about the polychromatic shifts in hearts and minds that fall together in multi-person love dynamics, it’s music of many hues. What better psychedelic headspace is there to get caught up in and, for once, forget about the unknowns of tomorrow than within the music of Unknown Mortal Orchestra today?

WEST COAST, BEST COAST: Meanwhile, also tonight, the Funzone hosts a string of West Coasters, with a lineup nicely descending along the coast in north-to-south order. At the top of the poster is Eleanor Murray from Olympia, Washington; in the middle, Portland’s Johanna Warren; and at the graphical and geographic bottom, S.B.’s Cave Babies. Besides being all West Coasters, all three, more importantly, are linked by their craft for sensitive, honest, soul-searching acoustic folk. I hope they’re wearing long sleeves, because their openly heartfelt music is the definition thereof, and there’s a lot of heart within. Go, but maybe bring some tissues — your eyes may experience their own personal El Niño in this waning rain year.

ROCK-SOLID ROCK: Back at SOhO, on Friday, April 15, Cubensis and Moonalice revive the Deadhead generation once again with Cubensis’ Grateful Dead tribute and Moonalice’s Dead-esque originals. You may remember Moonalice from its visit last year. The band’s countercultural rock is a throwback to bygone times, when concerts were free, hair was flowing, and love itself had its very own designated season and year. What a great way to celebrate our unknowing with these acts, who revive a past purity of culture and creation with the requisite reefer for good brain-clouding effect.

IT’S A SNAP! On Sunday, April 17, at noon, SOhO hosts the most fabulous brunch in town: the Snap! Drag Revue Brunch, where you can enjoy fine foods with a side of gorgeous drag queens from across California. “We celebrate diversity and really showcase that no matter what, you can feel sexy confident and be anything you want to be,” says Snap’s producer, Borgia Bloom.“Who wouldn’t want to start their Sunday feeling beautiful, confident, and all with a plate of bacon?”

SPEAKING OF REEFER: It’s that herbal green time of year again, and there are a few shows to pick from if you feel like leaving the couch you find yourself glued to. One such show of note is Solvang’s very own legendary ska act, The Mad Caddies, who play at Velvet Jones on Wednesday, April 20. The Caddies are an institution among the skanking set and yet another reason for 805ers to feel proud of what a lovely musical nest our area code holds. Watch them, and engage in a healthy manner of madness.

TAX FREE: Speaking of unknowns: After all that anticipation, it turns out Tax Day has been temporarily moved to Monday the 18th, due to Emancipation Day in D.C. Who knew? n

Hank, CHet, and Miles Hit tHe sCreen Hollywood’s Latest Love Affair with the Music-Legend Biopic

F

or better, worse, and middling, the lure of the music legend biopic is a refrain that won’t quit in Hollywood. Suddenly, as if in a conspiratorial rush, three recent films take on the lives—if in piecemeal, uneven fashion — of three undisputedly iconic American musical legends, with I Saw the Light (re: Hank Williams, true country hero), Born to Be Blue (jazz trumpeter/singer/heartthrob Chet Baker), and the daring, if partially wayward, Miles Ahead (the Miles Davis portrait from director/cowriter/star Don Cheadle).

None of these films shy away from the substance-abusive subplots of these artists’ MOVE IT ON OVER: Tom Hiddleston (right) stars as country legend lives, and the more squalid, tabloid-y aspect Hank Williams in I Saw the Light, just one in the recent cavalcade of of the Hank, Chet, and Miles trilogy is also a musician-focused biopics. tale of booze, blow, and junk. Thankfully, the time tacks: Hank’s story loses some of its steam and films — each in its own way and with its own degree of integrity — deal with the essential artistic cohesion with its steady march through his meteoric and musical epiphanies, “hits,” and touchstones, and career (although that only lasted six years, before his recognize the role of their self-destructive biochemical death, at 29, in 1953); Miles Ahead hopscotches from habits in the fragile makeup and narrative of their the murky dark years of his late-’70s disappearing genius. act (with a disturbingly buffoonish stolen master Despite wavering qualities, all films are well worth tape angle) and flashbacks to his chameleonic career, seeing — and, importantly, hearing, given the care and restlessly morphing starting in the ’50s; and Born to Be love given to showcase the actual music these artists Blue — overall, the best of the three, especially due to implanted in our collective ear. With Hank, we get Ethan Hawke’s deep and necessarily hazy performance “Cold, Cold Heart,”“Hey, Good Lookin,”“Your Cheatin’ — wisely focuses on a transitional wannabe rehabbed Heart,” “I’m So Lonesome, I Could Cry,” and the gospel period, between his first burst of fame and dubious title song; with Miles, “So What,” “Nefertiti” (albeit achievement as “the world’s most famous junkie” and during a scene of domestic abuse in the Davis house), flinging himself into a blurry life in Europe. and respectful scenes with Gil Evans, of the album Miles These films contain pain, swagger, self-indulgence, Ahead fame; and with Chet, the hypnotic croonery moving music, and glimpses of the muse’s fickle silence of “Born to Be Blue,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “I’ve and occasional majesty.

Hopefully, they will do the right the deals, the diffusive sprawl of years, and the drudgery thing, perhaps taking note of Born to Be Blue. of chronology.

NOW SHOWiNG 10 Cloverfield Lane (105 mins.; PG-13) It has a lot to live up to, this sequel to the brilliant, innovative and genuinely frightening Cloverfield.

The 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.

a&e | film & TV cONT’d fROM p. 55 family dynamics and the past demons that haunt them.

Plaza de Oro Midnight Special (112 mins.; PG-13) Art film/thriller director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, Mud) returns with a film that feels more like a labor of love than a satisfying accomplishment. A troubled parent (Michael Shannon) and a former cop (Joel Edgerton) shuttle a young boy with strange powers across motel America by night, pursued by the FBI and a communal cult. The best performance in the stellar cast comes from Adam Driver as a slightly goofy federal agent, though everybody plays their part as if this bafflingly simple film was more than just a cross between Starman and Tomorrowland. Unfortunately it isn’t, though it has moments of eerie grace. (DJP) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

Midnight Special Calvin and his friends to save the community.

Fiesta 5/Fairview 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)

The Boss (99 mins.; R) After doing time for insider trading, formerly ultra-wealthy Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) tries to keep her chin (which is always partially sheathed in the glitziest of turtlenecks) up as she navigates life as a former felon with zero cash. In order to rise from the ashes, Darnell must depend upon her belabored former assistant, Claire (Kristen Bell), with whom she partners in a get-rich scheme involving getting a Girl Scout–esque troop to hustle baked goods. While McCarthy, brilliant comedian that she is, scores a few big laughs, The Boss is predictable and has a few too many physical gags that (literally) fall flat. (NC) Camino Real/Metro 4

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 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.

Paseo Nuevo Hardcore Henry (96 mins.; R) Sharlto Copley and Tim Roth star in this action film shot in first-person format, with viewers seeing everything through the eyes of Henry, who is brought back from death as a cybernetic super-soldier.

Camino Real/Metro 4 Hello, My Name Is Doris (95 mins.; R) Inspired by a motivational speaker, Doris (Sally Field) decides to pursue a May-December romance.

Riviera Krisha (83 mins.; R) Based on the short film of the same name, this full-length dramady explores

Miracles from Heaven (109 mins.; PG) Based on Christy Beam’s memoir, this Christian-themed film tells the story of Beam’s young daughter, who has a neardeath experience and then fully recovers from a life-threatening illness.

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)

Demolition (100 mins.; R) After losing his wife, Davis Mitchell (Jake Gyllenhaal) struggles to return to normalcy after he realizes that what was once normal to him — his sleek home, his gig as an investment banker at his father-in-law’s firm, etc.— doesn’t make him feel alive. In order to feel something, Davis takes a sledgehammer to everything in his life: his refrigerator, his desktop computer, and his marriage to his late wife, among other things.

While Demolition boasts a winning cast and some fascinating moments, its use of metaphor is a bit too heavy-handed.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of apRil 14 ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free,” said novelist Ralph Ellison. Would you consider making that a paramount theme in the coming weeks?

Will you keep it in the forefront of your mind and be vigilant for juicy clues that might show up in the experiences headed your way? In suggesting that you do, I’m not guaranteeing that you will gather numerous extravagant insights about your true identity and thereby achieve a blissful eruption of total liberation.

But I suspect that at the very least you will understand previously hidden mysteries about your primal nature.

And as they come into focus, you will indeed be led in the direction of cathartic emancipation.

(June 21-July 22): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are close to tapping into hidden powers, dormant talents, and future knowledge.

Truths that have been off-limits are on the verge of catching your attention and revealing themselves.

Secrets you have been concealing from yourself are ready to be plucked and transformed. And now I will tell you a trick you can use that will enable you to fully cash in on these pregnant possibilities: Don’t adopt a passive wait-and-see attitude. Don’t expect everything to happen on its own. Instead, be a willful magician who aggressively collects and activates the potential gifts.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Adyashanti is my favorite mindscrambling philosopher. One of his doses of crazy wisdom is just what you need to hear right now. “Whatever you resist you become,” he says. “If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering. If you resist confusion, you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.” Can you wrap your imagination around Adyashanti’s counsel, Libra? I hope so, because the key to dissipating at least some of the dicey stuff that has been tweaking you lately is to STOP RESISTING IT!

TAURUS

LEO

SCORPIO

(Apr. 20-May 20): “We never know the wine we are becoming while we are being crushed like grapes,” said author Henri Nouwen. I don’t think that’s true in your case, Taurus. Any minute now, you could get a clear intuition about what wine you will ultimately turn into once the grape-crushing stage ends. So my advice is to expect that clear intuition. Once you’re in possession of it, I bet the crushing will begin to feel more like a massage — maybe even a series of strong but tender caresses.

(July 23-Aug. 22): This would be a perfect moment to give yourself a new nickname like “Sugar Pepper” or “Honey Chili” or “Itchy Sweet.” It’s also a favorable time to explore the joys of running in slow motion or getting a tattoo of a fierce howling bunny or having gentle sex standing up. This phase of your cycle is most likely to unfold with maximum effectiveness if you play along with its complicated, sometimes paradoxical twists and turns. The more willing you are to celebrate life’s riddles as blessings in disguise, the more likely you’ll be to use the riddles to your advantage.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During every election season, media pundits exult in criticizing candidates who have altered their opinions about important issues.

This puzzles me. In my understanding, an intelligent human is always learning new information about how the world works and is therefore constantly evolving his or her beliefs and ideas. I don’t trust people who stubbornly cling to all of their musty dogmas. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an especially ripe time for you to change your mind about a few things, some of them rather important. Be alert for the cues and clues that will activate dormant aspects of your wisdom. Be eager to see further and deeper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your sustaining mantra for the coming weeks comes from Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer: “I am not empty; I am open.” Say that aloud whenever you’re inclined to feel lonely or lost. “I am not empty; I am open.” Whisper it to yourself as you wonder about the things that used to be important but no longer are.“I am not empty; I am open.” Allow it to loop through your imagination like a catchy song lyric whenever you’re tempted to feel melancholy about vanished certainties or unavailable stabilizers or missing fillers. “I am not empty; I am open.”

Homework: Let’s meet in dreams sometime soon.

Describe to me the adventures you’d like us to have together. Freewillastrology .com.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Right about now you might be feeling a bit extreme, maybe even zealous or melodramatic. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were tempted to make outlandish expostulations similar to those that the poet Arthur Rimbaud articulated in one of his histrionic poems: “What beast must I worship?

What sacred images should I destroy? What hearts shall I break? What lies am I supposed to believe?” I encourage you to articulate salty sentiments like these in the coming days — with the understanding that by venting your intensity you won’t need to actually act it all out in real life. In other words, allow your fantasy life and creative artistry to be boisterous outlets for emotions that shouldn’t necessarily get translated into literal behavior.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Friedrich Nietzsche published his first book, The Birth of Tragedy, in 1872, when he was 28 years old. In 1886, he put out a revised edition that included a preface entitled “An Attempt at Self-Criticism.” In this unprecedented essay, he said that he now found his text “clumsy and embarrassing, its images frenzied and confused, sentimental, uneven in pace, so sure of its convictions that it is above any need for proof.” And yet he also glorified The Birth of Tragedy, praising it for its powerful impact on the world, for its “strange knack of seeking out its fellow-revelers and

enticing them on to new secret paths and dancingplaces.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Sagittarius, I invite you to engage in an equally brave and celebratory re-evaluation of some of your earlier life and work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Go back to where you started and learn to love it more.” So advised Thaddeus Golas in his book The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment.

I think that’s exactly what you should do right now, Capricorn. To undertake such a quest would reap long-lasting benefits. Here’s what I propose: First, identify three dreams that are important for your future. Next, brainstorm about how you could return to the roots of your relationships with them. Finally, reinvigorate your love for those dreams. Supercharge your excitement about them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What am I doing here in mid-air?” asks Ted Hughes in his poem “Wodwo.” Right about now you might have an urge to wonder that yourself.

The challenging part of your situation is that you’re unanchored, unable to find a firm footing. The fun part is that you have an unusual amount of leeway to improvise and experiment. Here’s a suggestion: Why not focus on the fun part for now? You just may find that doing so will minimize the unsettled feelings. I suspect that as a result you will also be able to accomplish some interesting and unexpected work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): How many fireflies would you have to gather together in order to create a light as bright as the sun? Entomologist Cole Gilbert estimates the number to be 14,286,000,000. That’s probably beyond your ability to accomplish, Pisces, so I don’t recommend you attempt it. But I bet you could pull off a more modest feat with a similar theme: accumulating a lot of small influences that add up to a big effect.

Now is an excellent time to capitalize on the power of gradual, incremental progress.

Hacienda andaluz S

pringtime in Santa Barbara means the sight and scent of roses blooming all around town, this weekend’s Earth Day celebration kicking off the festival season, and—just and in case you think your ears are playing tricks on you — it also means the start of Old Spanish Days. I kid you not. This Saturday, April 16, at noon, a squadron of hopeful young dancers will audition at La Cumbre Junior High School for the coveted roles of Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta 2016, bringing the historic era of Old Spanish Days to life upon the stage (visit

details. The house was carefully remodeled in 2009, with area designers and artisans enlisted to refurbish and re-create custom light fixtures, cabinetry, paint, and wrought iron throughout the property. I found myself opening more than one of the windows just to marvel at how well the old-world hardware functions.

Perfectly patterned after the original, but smooth and seamlessly operating, these touches have obviously been wrought by hand because they literally don’t make ’em like they used to.

In addition to its three bedrooms and three baths downstairs, the main house has an elegant master bedroom suite upstairs, with a bookshelf-lined sitting area, a small office, a sundeck overlooking the backyard, and a sumptuous master bathroom with a huge walk-in closet, and a gorgeous sunken tub with a remotecontrolled fireplace in the corner.

As stunning as the main house is, the garden and grounds are what really stole my heart. The lot is not huge, at less than three-quarters of an acre, but across the lawn, down a staircase, and over a bridge lies a beautifully landscaped secret garden area. A separate cabana house faces the sparkling pool and spa, which are bordered by a wall with fountains and greenery, sitting just low enough from the main house to be in a world of their own.

Walking back through the house for one last look at the central courtyard with its trees, fountains, fireplace, and bar for entertaining, this home struck me as someplace one could live in happily ever after and never have to leave. Its timeless fairy-tale quality makes it easy to conjure up visions from the past, complete with the scent of roses and a flamenco soundtrack.

Address: 470 Hot Springs Road, Montecito Status: On the market Price: $5,450,000 oldspanishdays-fiesta.org for tickets). So if you hear the sounds of flamenco music mixed with the scent of roses, that’s the reason.

When I visited Hacienda Andaluz last week, a lovingly restored adobe estate at 470 Hot Springs Road, I found the beauty and romance of the same bygone era. This home and its grounds are patterned after Casa de la Guerra, arguably Santa Barbara’s most famous residence, home to Don José de la Guerra and family in the mid 1800s. The Spanish Colonial Revival style is evident at a glance both inside and outside the hacienda, from its double-barreled mission redtiled roof to its terraces and walkways, the eucalyptus vigas in the ceilings, and the Saltillo tile floors. It’s most distinctive architectural feature, and very typical of this period, is the central interior courtyard, onto which the living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, and one of the bedrooms all open.

The real magic of this lovely home, however, is in the authenticity of its

n 2004, California established the first energy-efficiency standards in the country for external power supplies.

This phrase, or the less elegant term “wall warts,” refers to the little boxes that connect many of our electronics— smartphones, laptop computers, electric toothbrushes — to wall outlets. These power adapters may be small, but collectively they consume a lot of energy.

Following California’s example, national external-power-supply energyefficiency standards were established in 2008. This past February, eight years later, updated federal standards took effect, strengthening efficiency requirements and extending them to new types of power adapters not previously covered so that now the vast majority of these devices use the best technology to minimize energy wastage.

While these updated standards drew little public notice, they will cut nearly everyone’s electric bill and reduce harmful pollution. With 5-10 wall warts in the average U.S. home, the new standards are projected to save consumers $300 million a year in electricity costs and decrease the carbon pollution that fuels climate change.

An example of small changes producing big results, the new standards are an important step to achieving President Barack Obama’s goal of reducing car-

bon emissions. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) projects that they alone will cut nearly 47 million metric tons of carbon dioxide during 30 years, equivalent to the annual electricity used in 6.5 million homes, or the carbon emitted by 10 million cars.

While adapters consume a modest amount of energy individually, the power draw adds up, given that there are a billion in use in the United States.

Many of these wall warts, when plugged in, draw power even if disconnected from a device such as a phone or connected to a fully charged device.

A good counter to these boxes that consume power with no load is to replace them with flip switch boxes or, even better, with timer switch chargers set for 30 minutes or three hours. (Belkin is one reliable brand.) Although wall warts are only a part of the electronics used in a home, 75 percent of electricity used to power home electronics, according to the DOE, is consumed while appliances are turned off.

The DOE is planning to create standards for battery chargers, 500 million of which are sold annually in the U.S. Making both external power supplies and battery chargers more efficient can lead to substantial savings on utility bills and significant health and environmental benefits, not only because of the huge volume sold annually but also because

the number is sure to grow, given the proliferation of electronic devices in our lives. Another challenge looming, however, is the recent appearance of the wireless charger — a big power draw that is still unregulated.

his Eastlake-style Victorian house was constructed by original owner Peter Grant, who was a livery stable owner and proprietor of Santa Barbara’s first brickyard. His masonry business, which he officiated from the home’s backyard, gave him the freedom and flexibility to design and build his residence as one of the first and only allbrick homes covered in stucco that remain from the Victorian era.

The decorative Eastlake style was named for Charles Locke Eastlake (1836-1906), a noted Englishman, author, architectural designer, and critic of the Gothic Revival style. In his book, Hints on Household Taste in Furniture, Upholstery, and Other Details, he advocated that both furniture and décor in the home should be designed with great pride. Manufacturers in the United States quickly caught onto his ideas from the book and used his drawings to mass-produce Eastlake-style and cottage furniture.

This home’s architectural attributes on the lower level include a spacious bay window and spindlework on the front porch, while the second-story gable is festooned with decorative motifs that include ornamental brackets juxtaposed on the roof’s eaves. The 16-foot-deep foundation is set to ensure ample protection from earthquakes, while the sunny yellow exterior and white trim make this a valued asset in the lower Riviera neighborhood.
