We are passionate about providing a quality product for our customers, and so is the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. The tribe’s businesses bring a large economic impact to the Valley. It is an impact that helps all of our businesses thrive.

Pete Johnson (far right) gets all our thanks for helping us create the inaugural Well Read Indy Pale Ale. Our brew team, some pictured here — (clockwise from left) Suzanne Cloutier, Megan Packard Hillegas, Emily Cosentino, Tanya Spears Guiliacci, and Alex Melton— worked in turns to stir, mix, filter, and clean the giant vat of hot water, barley, and hops.“There is so much manual labor involved,” Melton told us.

In between times, the team learned from Johnson the difference between an IPA and a double IPA (the amount of hops) and how fruit-flavored beers are made (some add fruit, others add fruit flavorings). The Well Read will carry a reddish hue from roasting the grains, said Cloutier, to add some “bite.” Indy ale goes on tap in time for Solstice, so stay tuned.

Peace Protestor to Prison Dennis Apel Sentenced to Four Months for Refusing Probation

ennis Apel, longtime peace protestor at Vandenberg Air Force Base, was sentenced to four months in federal prison last week for refusing to abide by the terms of a probationary sentence imposed for trespassing on base property last August during a demonstration against the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Apel, a committed practitioner of civil disobedience, acknowledged he refused to comply with his terms because, he said, it would be “immoral” to do so.

Apel is a member of the Catholic Worker Movement and has been operating a “hospitality house” in Guadalupe, providing health care, food, and clothing to North County farmworkers for the past 20 years. For nearly the same amount of time, Apel’s been protesting in front of Vandenberg. In 2003, he was sentenced to two months in federal lockup after squirting his own blood out of a syringe onto the Air Force Base’s entrance sign five days before the United States declared war in Iraq.

In the intervening years, Apel has filed multiple legal challenges, contesting the constitutional authority of military brass to limit where protest activities could and could not take place outside the base.

Three years ago, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Apel’s favor, citing hyper-technical jurisdictional grounds rather than sweeping free-speech principles. The Department of Defense appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which ruled two months later against Apel and upheld the authority of base commanders to regulate public demonstrations on the periphery of military installations.

At issue has been the green line painted in front of the base entrance, across which protestors are not allowed to step. Over the years, Apel has crossed that line many times, and base officials issued him what’s known as a “ban and bar” letter. That effectively restricted him from protesting even in designated areas.

Last August, Apel and 30 demonstrators congregated in front of Vandenberg on the 70-year anniversary of Hiroshima. Six crossed the green line; Apel was one. They 8

were promptly arrested, cited, released, charged, and, on St. Patrick’s Day this year, sentenced to probation. He and two other demonstrators — both members of Catholic Worker—refused to abide by probation terms. All three got jail terms.

Apel, however, was stunned by the length of his sentence. “The probation officer recommended 30 days; the prosecutor recommended 60. Then the judge said,‘I’m sentencing you to 120 days,’ ” he recounted. “I said,

missiles (Minuteman ICBMs) armed with “dummy warheads,” shooting them 4,200 miles across the Pacific Ocean to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, home to the Ronald Reagan Missile defense test range.

Though these test missiles are not loaded with actual nuclear warheads, they do contain volatile materials. Over the years, Apel objected, the Kwajaleins have been subjected to the environmental violence a continuous bombardment.

Because Vandenberg is the launch site for these missiles, Apel stated, the Central Coast is at risk of being targeted for first strike in the event of nuclear war. Military strategists argue the credible threat of nuclear retaliation provided by the United States system of 450 ICBM Minuteman Missiles has and will continue to act as an effective deterrent. But Apel doesn’t buy it. “If they attack, we’re going to die. We can’t stop it,” he said. “But we have the satisfaction of knowing we can take out about a million innocent civilians with us.”

According to U.S. Air Force media relation officers, 19 test missiles have been launched from Vandenberg in the past five years, each at a cost of $18 million. Of these, 17 went to the Marshall Islands; two were tested for “extended range” capability. The tests are conducted to determine that the nation’s network of ICBMs is working; as Dennis Apel such, the Vandenberg tests are one of many indicators “to provide a complete picture of reliability.”

In the past five years, only one test launch was terminated due to flight anomaly.

Apel noted that August 6 marks the anniversary of the Hiroshima nuclear bombing; August 9 that of Nagasaki. And on August 8, he pointed out, the United Nations declared the killing of innocent civilians a war crime.

“Is it a war crime only if [Russian President Vladimir] Putin does it?” he asked.

Apel is the first to admit his many years of protest have had little to no impact. “I don’t think we’ve had much effect,” he said. “But that’s no reason to throw in the towel. I’m doing this because it’s the right thing to do for the human community.” n cou rtesy

‘Wait a second; that’s four months.’ She said, ‘That’s right.’ ” Apel said he’s been ordered to turn himself in on May 9.

In her recommendations to the judge, Probation Officer Mia Espinoza expressed regret that Apel was unamenable to supervision.

“Unfortunately,” she wrote, “custody appears to be the only option.” In a prior report written in March, Espinoza— Espinoza noting Apel’s long nonviolent history and serious health considerations—said prison would be “difficult to justify.” Apel, she added, “provides a valuable service to the community,” for which he receives no payment other than housing.

Apel has targeted Vandenberg because five times a year, he said, the base launches test independent.com

Paula Lopez, 50, former KEYT/KCOY news anchor, must serve jail time and meet an array of probation requirements as part of a plea deal for her long-postponed September DUI and battery case. She faces 120 days in jail and three years probation at her 7/22 sentencing, where she will plead “no contest.” Among other probation requirements, Lopez must attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings weekly, temporarily give up her driver’s license, and take the alcoholism medication Antabuse.

Santa Barbara landlord Dario Pini faces over $72,000 in fines after Cal/OSHA ruled he willfully violated worker safety laws last October. Pini had removed a “red tag” stop-work order — denoting serious safety concerns by state inspectors — from scaf scaffolding on a State Street motel property and ordered his workers to keep using it. Cal/ OSHA also faulted Pini for not reporting that one of his employees had fallen from a second-story window at the same work site last August.

Police presented Citizen Extra Step Awards to 11 community members on 4/20 for their life-changing acts of heroism in the past year. Notably, three Dibblee Avenue neighbors prevented Olde English Bulldogges from mauling a woman to death; two young women, each acting on their own, stopped two separate domestic violence instances; and the owner of a UPS Store shut down a phone scam before an elderly customer lost thousands. Sponsoring the Mesa Café awards luncheon was Santa Barbara’s Kiwanis Club.

CITY The Galleria mall on upper State Street is scheduled for demolition, and in its place, if all goes according to the developers’ plan, will go a four-story, mixed-use project with 85 units of rental housing and 11,000 square feet of commercial space. The project is being billed as a “cousin” to the 89 Marc apartments right next door with the same architects and builders, DesignARC and REthink Development, who presented preliminary designs to the city’s Architectural Board of Review 4/26. The board lauded the development but said its modern aesthetics were too edgy for Santa Barbara. The project will come back with changes for another review in the coming weeks.

‘Arlington West’ evolves into ‘costs of Wars’

The Doheny family’s Las Varas ranch, situated on the Gaviota Coast between Naples Point and El Capitan State Beach, is on the market for $108 million. The 1,800-acre property features a Spanish-style main house, additional buildings, and 50 head of cattle. The family’s effort to redraw a number of buildable parcels near the beach was rejected by Santa Barbara County last year.

Goletans will vote in November on a parcel tax to provide more funding for the struggling Goleta Library. The county’s Board of Supervisors supported the new ballot measure, and the Goleta City Council voted unanimously on 4/19 to move forward with its own ballot measure — voters must pass both to enact the tax. A draft budget for 2016-2017 projects the Goleta Library to come up $246,000 short, and reserve funds are expected to run out the following year.

hEALTh Santa Barbara ranks high among metro areas where poor adults — whose households earn less than $28,000 annually — live the longest, said a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Poor Santa Barbara men live the third longest (79.4 years) behind the cities of New York and San Jose. Women were also third (84.0 years) after Miami and New York. On average, the life expectancy for a poor 40-year-old in Santa Barbara County is 81.6 years. They will die about six years before the rich. That’s roughly equivalent to the differ-

ence in life expectancy between an average man in the United States and one in Nepal.

Twice monthly for about a decade, volunteers with Veterans for Peace installed thousands of white crosses on the beach between Stearns Wharf and Santa Barbara Harbor, a poignant reminder of American lives lost during the Iraq War. The installation, known as Arlington West, paid homage to soldiers laid to rest at Washington, D.C.’s Arlington National Costs of Wars installation Cemetery. “We did 10 years, then it seemed like nobody gave a damn anymore,” said Korean War veteran Ron Dexter, who’s been with the project since 2003. “So we took a year off and kicked around ideas about what people might respond to. We’re just trying to wake people up.”

While the spirit of the mission remains the same, Dexter added, its message has deepened, and the name has changed to Costs of Wars. Beyond lost American lives, the installation showcases mounting numbers of refugees, entire regions in the Middle East destabilized by war profiteers, and the thousands of returning young soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“There is a simmering stew of discontent in this country,” said Bill Palmisano, an installation volunteer for 12 years. “The Occupy movement caught our selfappointed masters by surprise. Bernie Sanders is giving them heartburn and insomnia. There is no good defense against a peaceful movement for radical change, and I consider this installation a powerful device in the fight against war as an instrument of foreign policy. Plus, I get to work with the most caring, sharp, and engaged group of activists.”

Costs of Wars goes up again on May 1. Volunteers are welcome; setup starts at — Keith Hamm 8:30 a.m., and takedown is at 4 p.m.

gender Politics?

All three were found shot to death in their 4640 Greenhill Way home last month. The memorial was cast in afternoon sunlight as a couple hundred people listened to uplifting stories of the Han family in life.

Female Support Mixed for Schneider

A

by k e l s e y B r u g g e r

s America gets closer to possibly electing the first woman president, the sense of urgency to elect a woman to represent the 24th Congressional District appears eroded among some area female politicos.

Of the nine candidates in the race, just one, Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider, is a woman. Schneider has appeared restrained in playing the gender card; political insiders expected she would have garnered much more support with women given she is a liberal mayor of a high-profile city.

Strikingly, a number of organizations whose mission focuses entirely on supporting women are sitting out this primary race: the local chapter of Planned Parenthood, where Schneider worked in a highlevel management position for more than a decade; the political action committee Emily’s List; and the local Women’s Political Committee, which Schneider served as its president.

Other women are not merely sitting out; they are backing her chief contender, County Supervisor Salud Carbajal. Perhaps most notably is Representative Lois Capps, who has held the seat for 18 years and served with Schneider on the Women’s Political Committee before she went to D.C. Capps brought along House minority leader Nancy Pelosi’s endorsement, too. Attorney General Kamala Harris also endorsed Carbajal. And last year, the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County narrowly voted to support him.

“It’s been no secret he’s been planning to run for this seat for a long time,” Schneider said. Asked about Capps’s support for Carbajal, she said,“I think there was a plan made a long time ago, and for whatever reason an arrangement was made when it was made …

Should I make it through this primary, there’s not going to be a problem connecting to Lois and people who care about [liberal issues].”

That is not to say Schneider has no women supporting her. State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson could not have been more enthusiastic in her endorsement declaration. In addition, Schneider has support from California’s NOW (National Organization for Women), the Feminist Majority, and the National Women’s Political Caucus.

Schneider argues women cooperate to pass legislation at a higher rate than men do.

But she also says a man can be a feminist.

Asked if the silence from Emily’s List — with a singular criteria to back pro-choice Democratic women — is a setback, Schneider said, “Frankly, they deal with the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee].” (The DCCC, as it’s known, backed Carbajal two months ago.) As for Planned Parenthood, Schneider said, they’ve “been through so much. The last thing they wanted to do was to get into messy politics.”

Schneider and Carbajal have distinct political styles. Schneider is prepared and articulate, brimming with facts and figures.

Carbajal is politically savvy, known for providing stellar constituent services and working well behind the scenes. Schneider said critically,“He says ‘win-win’ all the time.” Carbajal embraces the phrase.

Their stances are nearly identical on many key issues: the environment, immigration, college debt, etc. The exception is the controversial Highway 101 widening project. In fact, her opposition effectively blocked Schneider from assuming her rotating position as chair of SBCAG (Santa Barbara County Association of Governments) in 2014. Among those leading the charge were prominent politicos Sara Miller McCune, Susan Rose, Gail Marshall, and Mickey Flacks. Schneider ferociously maintained she was trying to prevent the city streets and intersections from further congestion that 101 widening would cause if not adequately mitigated. Her critics contend her obstructive criticism could put millions of motorists in perpetual gridlock.

It could be Santa Barbara women are less taken with women in politics as there have been many successes: Capps, countless county supervisors and school boardmembers, and city mayors. Former UCSB chancellor Barbara Uehling, appointed in 1987, was the first female chancellor at a UC campus.

In the congressional district — representing Santa Barbara County, San Luis Obispo County, and a small slice of Ventura — there are 6 percent more women registered to vote than men (gender is unknown for 2 percent).

If the notion “politics is personal” is true, it is especially so in Santa Barbara. Several people typically comfortable talking to the press declined to speak on the record for this article. They spoke about the fact Schneider and Carbajal are well known in Santa Barbara Dem circles, and they felt awkward endorsing one over the other, partly for fear they would run into them.

Ten years ago, Schneider aggravated many Dems — including Carbajal — when she endorsed now-Assemblymember Das Williams over the ultimate winner in the race for 2nd District supervisor, Janet Wolf. At the time, Schneider told the Santa Barbara News-Press while she believed women should be given opportunities to hold elected office “… just endorsing someone because she is a woman is not appropriate.”

In the same article, Carbajal stated he was disappointed in Schneider’s decision. “I’m trying to understand how a feminist does not support another feminist who shares the same values.”

Asked about the issue recently, Carbajal said, “All I can do is focus on the work I have done … my record is clear.” He even received the Planned Parenthood “Giraffe Award” for “sticking his neck out for choice,” and served on its board.

On one point, Schneider and Carbajal agree: They are voting for Hillary Clinton, as n they both did in 2008.

For Mesa dorm developer Ed St. George, it’s proving harder to ask forgiveness than to have requested permission. For almost six long hours last Thursday, the city Planning Commission pored over a list of unpermitted landscaping and construction work at his Beach City property on Cliff Drive next to Santa Barbara City College, focusing on the removal of 32 mature eucalyptus trees that provided overwintering shelter for monarch butterflies. The commissioners demanded to know how St. George would restore the Ed St. George destroyed habitat and what legal remedies were available to either remove or retroactively approve additions at the 97-unit complex.

Filling City Hall Thursday were Mesa neighbors upset with the wanton treechopping and St. George’s build-now, permit-later attitude. He knows the rules, they said, and knows the way around them, too. “What [he] did was out of greed and for the almighty dollar,” charged one speaker. “This is criminal activity and should be treated that way.”

After wrestling with complicated city and state coastal zoning issues, the commissioners decided to continue the discussion to another day, but not before chiding St. George and deliberating a possible $95,000 fine against him. St. George let his planner, Laurel Perez of Suzanne Elledge Planning & Permitting Services, do the talking for him. “We acknowledge mistakes were made,” said Perez. But, she noted, St. George has made many property improvements and is committed to planting new, native greenery to replace the eucs.

Thursday’s hearing came out of a 2014 enforcement case launched soon after St. George purchased and began renovating the seven-acre site, formerly low-rate apartments called Harbor Heights. When he inherited the seven buildings, Perez said, they came with leaky pipes, bad lighting, overflowing dumpsters, and no security. St. George has turned the complex into first-rate housing for 460 SBCC students, Perez went on, complete with furnished rooms, Zipcars, and “community building” amenities like a bocce court and a family-style picnic table. Perez told the commission that St. George removed the trees with tenants’ health and safety in mind, for fire reasons and because homeless people shelter there. Late last year, St. George announced plans to build space for 1,000 more students.

Perez highlighted a habitat restoration that included the 60 live oaks already planted and plans for 215 more native trees and 3,000 other plants for a butterfly habitat. Monarch experts Dr. Daniel Meade and biologist Larry Hunt signed off on the plan and were confident of its ability to re-attract monarchs. More importantly, Meade said their numbers have steadily increased since 2012, before the tree culling. Hunt conceded it would take about five to eight years for the growing trees to provide meaningful habitat, but he was excited about replanting with native flora.

“It’s a shame that this happened,” said Hunt, “but there’s an opportunity to do — Tyler Hayden something really good here.”

No Moratorium Water Czar to Populace: Stay the Course

O

n paper, it seemed like a bold response to the hottest, driest drought in the past 100 years: In reality, Santa Barbara City Hall won’t be asking residents to conserve any more water than they already are. This Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council unanimously agreed to ratchet up its current water conservation goal from 25 percent to 35. That appears more dramatic than it is. In the past year, city residents have cut back water use by 34 percent. In recent months, they’ve hit or exceeded the 40 percent mark.“We’re not asking anyone to take it up a notch; we’re not raising the bar,” said city water czar Joshua Haggmark. “I want you to keep doing what you’re doing.” City residential water users consume just 52 gallons a day, Haggmark noted. The statewide standard for basic health and safety considerations is 55. In a typical year city water customers use 14,000 acre-feet a year; this year it’s down to 10,000 acre-feet.

This public-policy punch line to all these impressive factoids — the last five years have been 12 inches drier than the previous driest five-year span in 97 years — is that city water customers do not need the boot heel of any new prohibitions to go the extra mile. For City Hall to adopt a more coercive approach, Haggmark argued, is not called for. If all the proposed development plans now in City Hall’s permit-and-review pipeline were nixed overnight because of the drought, city planner Allison DeBusk said, only 242 acre-feet of water would be saved.

That’s just 2.5 percent of the city’s water supply. But Councilmember Jason Dominguez expressed concern that the number of new development applications is growing — particular high-density apartment applications that rely on more liberal zoning rules designed to encourage developers. That 2.5 percent, he said, is not inconsequential and, if not watched carefully, could easily balloon to 10 percent. Dominguez noted that Montecito and Goleta have passed moratoriums on new development in response to the drought; the City of Santa Barbara, he said,“subsidized” for-profit development.

Dominguez did not advocate, however, any new prohibitions.

Haggmark also briefed the council about efforts by the Montecito Water District to buy water from the city when its refurbished desalination plant becomes operational this fall. Montecito, with some of the shallowest groundwater basins and the thirstiest,

wealthiest customers, is in dire need of new water supplies. With this year’s El Niño rain a no-show, Montecito’s interest in acquiring Santa Barbara’s water has intensified. While those efforts have generated a few buds, no fruit has sprouted yet. At this point, there’s only a back-of-the-napkin menu of agreedupon items: Montecito will buy 1,250 acrefeet a year—for the next 20 years—come rain or drought. (City Hall had planned to operate the desalination plant at a 3,125 acrefeet production capacity; should the deal go through, that amount would increase.)

Montecito would cover 40 percent of the $55 million it will cost to build the desal plant, and it would pay 30 percent of the annual operating costs. Likewise, Montecito will be on the hook for building the 15,000-foot — or nearly three-mile — pipeline from the desal plant to Barker Pass and ultimately into the South Coast Conduit on Highway 192, which takes water from Lake Cachuma to all the South County water districts. That pipeline could prove crucial to any distribution system serving new water technologies as yet unperfected. Councilmember Gregg Hart urged city water planners to make sure parallel pipeline capacity for recycled wastewater was included in any trenching work done for the pipeline connecting the desal water to the South Coast Conduit. No state regulations exist as yet for this highly treated recycled water, but with millions of gallons a day being flushed into the ocean, its supply potential is obvious.

Councilmember Cathy Murillo expressed doubts about any deal with Montecito, citing populist and environmental grounds. She expressed concern about the loss of microscopic aquatic life the desal plant’s intake pipes would inflict below the surface; likewise she said her constituents on the Westside would want to know “what kind of lifestyle is [the water] supporting?”

It was Mayor Helene Schneider, however, who identified both the banana peel and slippery slope that any deal with Montecito made manifest. Operating one desal plant along the coast, Schneider said, made far more sense than two. But it was also city policy, she noted, to activate the desal plant only as a temporary and emergency fix and not as part of the city’s ongoing water-supply portfolio. To operate the plant full-time for Montecito, she suggested, was a deviation from that policy. Desal, she said, is mentioned in every water department planning report, adding, “It’s not a long-term water supply.” n

reverend Mark a r asman ‘refires’ Reflects on 21-Year Legacy of Activism

S

pau l wellm an

by L é n a G a r c i a anta Barbara’s first openly gay spiritual leader, Reverend Mark Asman, led Sunday service for 21 years at the Trinity Episcopal Church. A soft-spoken human rights activist, he cofounded Casa Esperanza in 1999 and in 2003 the city’s interfaith chapter of CLUE (Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice). For nearly two decades, he opened Trinity’s small parking lot overnight to the homeless, who were banned from sleeping on the street.

On the eve of his retirement, he spoke with The Santa Barbara Independent about growing up in 1950s America, coming out during the AIDS crisis, and his activism.

Did you grow up in a religious family? The 1950s was sort of the high-water mark of church in the United States. My parents woke up, metaphorically speaking, and realized we were the only family in our neighborhood not at church on Sunday morning. My mother, church-shopping around Lafayette and Walnut Creek, discovered the Episcopal Church, and so that’s where we started to attend as a family. My sister and I were baptized. We were all confirmed into the Episcopal Church, and that became my religious formation as a young boy.

What was it like to be a gay child in that era and place? I think it’s hard to imagine that 60 years ago the world was so hetero-centric. That was the norm, and the assumption was that there was no obvious culture or language around LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] issues.

“Homosexuality” was a dirty word, a derogatory word (still can be). So it wasn’t until I was an adolescent that I slowly began to become aware to my attraction to men, but given my church context at that time, given the social context at the time, it just seemed like an impossible option for me. And then when I began to pursue ordination, it seemed even more impossible. There have always been gay men and lesbian women in the church and in the priesthood and religious orders; they’ve just never been able to be out. And I assumed that that was the price I would have to pay.

Then I sadly thought perhaps I could try to change my sexual orientation if I couldn’t suppress it. This was shortly after I was ordained, so we’re talking mid-1970s. As I was moving through those early years of ministry and trying to keep a lid on my sexuality, I became increasingly unhappy.

I would probably even say depressed looking back on it, understandably depressed.

I eventually came to a place where I realized, of all the options I’ve tried, why not just try some self-acceptance? At that point I was in a small rural parish in the Sacramento Valley, and I knew that while they loved me and I loved them, this was not something they could handle in 1980, and the [larger] church was in no position to handle it at that point.

With the decision to embrace self-acceptance, what was remarkable was the immediate sense that “My goodness, I have been wasting all this energy trying to control or suppress something that is uncontrollable, and doesn’t need to be suppressed.” I figured that I needed to leave parish ministry in order to put these pieces together, and I thought that would be a short-term project. So I left parish ministry in 1982. But once I realized this was a longer, more complicated project, I realized I needed to get a job. I started to work as a Christmas extra at I. Magnin’s in San Francisco, 12

which was a department store downtown on Union Square, and in the evening working as a telephone solicitor for the March of Dimes.

When I was transferred with the company to L.A., I knew that it was time to leave Magnin’s. I met with the employment officer with the Diocese in L.A. and said I wanted to come back into full-time parish work. Homosexuality was a hugely contentious issue at that time in the Episcopal Church. L.A. was on the cutting edge of supporting and embracing the LGBT community, and I said to the employment officer that while I felt passionately called to parish ministry, I wasn’t going to go back in the closet for it. They thought that Trinity would be a good fit and recommended my name to the vestry here. I interviewed for the position in late 1993, and started in 1994.

What was it like to be in the Bay Area during the Harvey Milk era? The year I started to come out, 1982, was also the year that AIDS began to be identified. [In] San Francisco the whole movement for gay rights was beginning to evolve, and there was just a numbing crisis around AIDS, seeing friends die … considering it a minor miracle that I escaped those early years without being HIV/AIDS positive. I am enormously grateful but lost a lot of friends in the meantime.

What’s next for you? A really wise retired priest gave me some advice a while back that has made total sense to me, especially as I watched other clergy friends retire: Say no to everything for a year. I actually learned a new way to express it when Matthew Fox was here a few weeks ago. He said he doesn’t like to call it retirement; he calls it “refirement.” So

independent.com

because retirement, or refirement, is such a new next phase, it’ll take some time to figure it out. I’ve been very active in the community, and I imagine I will find ways to remain so.

How will you do that? I know how much religion has been an enemy to LGBT folk. Remaining an advocate will be always a part of who I am. We have achieved so much around marriage equality, and we are making progress with discrimination in the workplace—there’s still more work to be done there—but the real cutting edge within the LGBT tent is how we care for and advocate for the transgender community, which is the object of a lot of hostility, violence, misunderstanding, fear. As a gay man, I know what that’s like. We’ve made great progress in my lifetime, more than I would have imagined, but I think the next frontier for justice around sexuality and orientation and gender is protection and advocacy for the transgender community.

Any social and political issues that you haven’t dived into but that you would like to? Economic injustice, the environment, immigration reform, disarmament— disarmament there’s so many different ways to pay attention to the things that are broken in this world, and I think it’s up to each person to find that place where the personal passion meets the deep needs of the world around. I’ll be very curious to see where that takes me in retirement. I think I will always stay close to issues of homelessness and gender equality and reproductive rights for women, but I am passionate about immigration reform and have been involved with that through CLUE here in town. I think it’s important for those who care about these issues of justice and inequality n to see the faith community show up and count.

Face-to-Face, Rivals in the Race to Replace Barbara Boxer Tilt Left

D

by J e r r y r o b e r t s

uring the first debate of California’s U.S. Senate race, a journalist noted the many liberal positions taken by alleged conservative candidate Duf Sundheim and posed an intriguing question: “Mr. Sundheim, why are you a Republican?”

The challenge to a former state party chair by John Diaz of the San Francisco Chronicle, during the April 25 debate in Stockton, captured the political tenor of the event, matching the two leading Democrats and top three Republicans in the contest to replace retiring Senator Barbara Boxer. There are 34 wannabes for the office on the June 7 primary ballot.

At a time when Democrats dominate state politics, many state Republicans fear the fallout in California from the extremist rhetoric of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. With the finalists in the GOP’s national campaign heading toward the first meaningful presidential primary here in four decades, and the political zeitgeist roiling with conflicts about wealth disparity, this helped explain why four of the five Senate contenders in the debate rolled out their best Eugene Debs imitations.

“I think we have to crack down on Wall Street,” said Republican Ron Unz, for example, “just like Bernie Sanders is saying.”

WAKE ME WHEN IT’S OVER: The GOP’s off-the-wall presidential cage match has utterly overshadowed the Senate race, which was expected to be a spirited battle but so far has been barely somnolent. The Field Poll just reported that Californians are “unusually inattentive and largely disinterested” in it, with nearly half of likely voters still undecided.

Among those who favor a candidate, Attorney General Kamala Harris leads with 27 percent, with fellow Democrat and Orange County Representative Loretta Sanchez second, with 14 percent.

The three Republicans—Sundheim, Unz, and Bay Area lawyer Tom Del Beccaro —total 11 percent.

Amid this political landscape, Harris effectively won the debate simply by not losing, while the gaffe-prone Sanchez also did nothing to damage her position, setting the stage for a possible Democraton-Democrat November runoff. No Republican has raised enough cash to mount a TV ad campaign, so the Stockton debate—and another scheduled in San Diego next month—offered the largest audience they are likely to have. Here is a look at how the deal went down:

Health Education Classes MAY 2016

HARRIS: Infuriatingly cautious, if not cra-

ven, Harris deflects even the most mundane questions with evasive platitudes: Income inequality? “No question, it’s a big issue.”

Terrorism? “It is a very real issue.” Immigration? “It’s the most front and center human and civil rights issue of our time.” Oy. Still, she’s the class act in the field—poised, lucid, adept, and serious-minded, if still underinformed about national issues.

SANCHEZ: Especially compared to Harris,

Sanchez is unpolished and often unedited, and just loves non sequiturs; asked how she would end D.C. gridlock, for example, she said, “I’m not the status quo … I’ve been changing Congress for 20 years.” Um, okay. Still, her experience on the House Armed Services and the Homeland Security committees makes her best qualified on national security, her central campaign argument.

SUNDHEIM: A key player in the recall

of ex-governor Gray Davis, Sundheim is a throwback moderate Republican, in the mold of Pete Wilson and George Shultz.

But his debate performance was lackluster and uneven, filled with obscure historic references (Harry Truman’s work on the UN with Senator Arthur Vandenberg? Really?) and a baffling number of references to his wife’s biography, rather than his own. In the end, it brought to mind Admiral James Stockdale, Ross Perot’s 1992 running mate, who famously opened his debate against Al Gore by asking, “Who am I? Why am I here?”

Dog Eat Dog

TRUMP THAT: I wish I could muster onetenth the indignation as my friend Ernie Solomon, Santa Barbara’s undisputed king

of curmudgeons. Ernie’s outraged because of the conspiracy hatched by the Powers-ThatBe to deny Donald Trump the presidential nomination. Should Trump secure the popular vote among Republicans — he’s already won 100,000 more votes than Mitt Romney got four years ago — Establishment Big Wigs have vowed to use the delegate rules to block his nomination.

When you consider that Trump — the “Tangerine Tornado”— won every county in five eastern states this Tuesday, one can see Ernie’s point. But Party Big Wigs — freaking about Trump’s 75 percent negative approval ratings — insist they’re merely using the rules at everyone’s disposal.

I’m not out to bury Trump. Mostly I’m still trying to figure out if he’s the answer, what’s the question? Last week, the National Center for Health Statistics released some chilling stats that might shine a light. Suicides in the United States increased from 29,000 in 1999 to 43,000 last year. For those who failed math, that’s a 24 percent increase. The fastest-growing cohort opting to pull their own ripcords was middle-aged women, 45-64 years old, done in by economic despair and divorce.

Still, three times more men kill themselves than women.

In fact, more men killed themselves in 2014 — 33,113 — than all the suicides combined — 29,000 — reported in 1999. In 2014, white males — 27,000 — made up the vast majority. Middle-aged white males — for whom Trump’s angry outsider shtick so resonates — saw their suicide numbers double. To the extent experts are hazarding any guesses, the culprits are again economic hardship and family dissolution. None of these numbers include, by the way, the spike in overdose deaths from prescription opioids — from 4 million to 18 million — in the same time period.

But I digress. To my friend Ernie, I’d observe stolen presidential elections have become a dime a dozen. In my lifetime, it’s all but certain John Kennedy ripped off the 1960 election from Dick Nixon. Nixon, in turn, sabotaged the Paris Peace talks in 1968 — effectively extending the Vietnam War by 10,000 additional American deaths — to deep-six his Democratic rival Hubert Humphrey. Technically speaking, that was not so much theft as it was treason. Either way, it worked. In 2000, it’s indisputable Al Gore was ripped off and that the Supreme Court gave that election to George W. Bush.

As for myself, I’m looking forward to the suspenseful spectacle of a brokered Republican convention. Historians have scrambled to find precedent, and they’ve come up with the Democratic primary of 1924, one of the bloodiest acts of political suicide ever inflicted

on a party by itself. It took no fewer than 103 ballots over 16 heat-baked days before John Davis, a nobody from West Virginia, won the nomination. The real fight, however, was between William G. McAdoo of California by way of New York and Georgia and Al Smith of New York. Fun factoid: McAdoo — a mover and shaker of genuine global dimension — lived in Santa Barbara with his wife, daughter of president Woodrow Wilson. At the time, he was also a business partner with T.M. Storke — owner of what would become the Santa Barbara News-Press — in various real estate development schemes.

Their relationship would blossom into one of the great political bromances of all time and with epic ramifications. If not for Storke and McAdoo, for example, Franklin D. Roosevelt would never have won his party’s nomination in 1932. And but for that — indirectly — there would be no UCSB and no Cachuma Reservoir, and Santa Barbara would be a very different place. But back in 1924, McAdoo had been endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan at a time when Congress had just passed what UCSB history professor Alice O’Connor described as “the most draconian, racially restrictive immigration legislation to date.” No, it wasn’t Trump’s “wall,” but close enough. In 1924, the Klan was huge — targeting not just blacks and Jews but Catholic “Papists,” too — like Al Smith. It strongly backed prohibition.

McAdoo was as dry as Smith was wet. Somehow McAdoo, like Trump decades later, never saw fit to repudiate the Klan endorsement. In his book California Editor, Storke — a pro-

McAdoo delegate — denied the Klan played any role in that convention.“If the Klan was at work I failed to see any evidence of it,” Storke wrote. “It was a phony issue from start to finish, fostered by the drunks who were supposed to be working for Smith’s nomination.”

Maybe Storke didn’t see what he didn’t want to see. By most accounts, 20,000 Klansmen celebrated the 10th day of the convention — the Fourth of July — by congregating in New Jersey, where they burned crosses and effigies of Smith. On the convention floor, McAdoo supporters chanted, “Mac! Mac! McAdoo!” to which Smith’s supporters retorted,“Ku, Ku, McAdoo.”

Smith and McAdoo exhausted themselves trying — and failing — to secure the twothirds majority needed, so eventually the 1924 convention — known now as “The Klanbake” — produced a nominee who had absolutely no chance, John Davis. That, Storke wrote, was by design, not by accident. Weeks before the convention, Storke wrote, he was informed by a Wall Street big shot that the fix was in for Davis because “the interests” knew he had no chance against Calvin Coolidge, the Republican nominee. However that “theft” rankled Storke, it didn’t stop him and McAdoo (in 1934) from spreading every lie imaginable as part of an exquisitely documented conspiracy by “the interests” to stop Upton Sinclair — then a socialist crusader who managed to snag the Democratic Party endorsement — from getting elected governor of California.

Andrew Paul Hilton

Andy is survived by his wife of 15 years, Megan; his children, Amanda, Jackson and Eva; and his brother John.

All who knew and loved him are invited to join us for a memorial service: Saturday, April 30 at 11am at the Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels, 15 E. Sola St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Followed by a graveside service at Calvary Cemetery and Celebration of Life Reception. For full details and to leave an online memory or condolence, please visit www.wrhsb.com.

Andrew Paul Hilton of Santa Barbara passed away peacefully on Friday, April 22, with his wife Megan and daughter Amanda by his side.

Born to Chandler and Frances Hilton on June 19, 1963 — the youngest of 4 boys — Andy (Little Ma) was one of a kind and will be deeply missed.

Andy spent his entire life in Santa Barbara, truly embracing it as his home from his elementary school years at San Roque to high school years at Bishop Diego. His love of baseball landed him a scholarship at the University of La Verne (his brief hiatus from living in S.B.), but he returned to the town he loved best where he began his working life at the El Encanto. He started out as a valet but quickly moved into the restaurant as Assistant Director of Food and Beverage. His love of cooking and food continued on when he opened his own catering business, Fiesta Catering, where he was able to share that love of food with many people and made some of the best tacos ever sold down on the waterfront during the 4th of July.

Andy then went on to enjoy a successful career of over 30 years in advertising. Working with hundreds of clients from “the ol’ Radio Bronco days” to the widely known Univision network, Andy took pride in what he did, and his outgoing personality turned his many clients into amazing friends.

A husband, father and friend, Andy loved openly and completely.

He made friends with everyone he met, be it a coworker, high school buddy or checkout person at the grocery store, Andy embraced people and the relationships he developed with them.

But what Andy loved most was enjoying life with family and friends.

Eternally positive and always up for a good time, whether it be a show at the “County Bowl,” fishing in the Sierras with the Ma’s or just BBQ’n at home with his family (Dodger game on the TV of course), Andy knew how to live life to the fullest. Perhaps best summed up by a former boss,“If Santa Barbara ever elects a ‘Mayor in Charge of Having Fun,’ he would win by a landslide.”

Andy’s positivity and happiness was infectious. His humor would cheer you up, and his kindness is the reason he has a lifetime of love and friendship. Andy truly was the sunshine on a cloudy day.

Frayne Gaylord Higgason 03/23/34-04/13/16

Frayne Gaylord Higgason, as the name might infer, was a man for all seasons. He was born to Jay and Viola Higgason on March 23, 1934, in Los Angeles. As an only child, he was much loved and spoiled by his hard-working parents. Frayne worked hard, too, albeit in the pursuit of fun and pleasure. He was early into surfing in the 50s when long wooden boards were the rigor. Franey, as his friends called him, rose to the level of a champion among his fellow surfers at Malibu Beach and is known in surfing circles as one of the best ever. Frayne liked to remember those carefree days at the beach as “I was there when Gidget was there.” Wishing to be close to the beach all the time, he and his mother hand-built a house on the bluff at Pt. Dune in the late ’50s. Thus, surfing became just a slide down the hill into the waves for Frayne.

Moving to Santa Barbara in the sixties after serving his stint in the military, where he served with Elvis at Ft. Hood, Frayne continued to surf and fish for the big ones in the summer and ski at Mammoth mountain in the winter.

Frayne was a friendly sort of guy.

Easy to meet and easy to know. And if you knew him you would remember him as a little bit different, just something different about Frayne.

He truly loved people and would go out of his way to befriend any and all who came his way. And he never let go of his friends. If he was in the neighborhood, he would look you up and you were always glad to see him. He continued to surf and ski well into his seventies.

Frayne never had a job. He didn’t seem to need one. He never had a wife. Never seemed to need one.

Girlfriends he had in the dozens and he loved them all. He was a bachelor with style. He glided through life like a bird on the wing, landing here and there to make someone glad to have known him.

Champions are known by the record they leave. Frayne was a champion measured by the friends that he leaves. He will be hard to forget. He left us April 13, 2016.

There will be a celebration of Frayne’s life at the Channel Islands Yacht Club, 4100 S. Harbor Blvd., Oxnard, from 3-6pm, May 10, 2016.

A memorial service is scheduled for 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 30, 2016, at Bethany Congregational Church, 556 North Hope Ave., Santa Barbara, California.

She loved Sunday afternoon drives through town, visiting the Mission, and birdwatching by the ocean.

Even after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2013, she maintained an unfailing sense of humor and often cracked jokes about the trials of old age.

Jessie is survived by her daughters Pat Haro and Helen Romero. She died at the age of 102 and was buried next to her husband, Francisco, in Montebello, CA. Together they had four children, 27 grandchildren, 57 great-grandchildren, and 39 great-great-grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the members of her wonderful hospice team for their gentle care and emotional support.

Plan, Santa Barbara!

A

fter a decade of strenuous debate, Santa Barbara City Council approved Plan Santa Barbara (PlanSB). PlanSB’s overarching goal is sustainability, and its introduction calls out the need to cope with “growth management, environmental stewardship, affordable housing, historic preservation and design compatibility.”

A cornerstone of the plan’s housing affordability policy is the Average Unit Density (AUD) Ordinance. AUD encourages development of moderate-cost housing in the central city, replacing recent policy that fostered upscale condominiums. The AUD ordinance allows a higher number of smaller units on a given site and reduces parking requirements.

As a navigation aid to sustainability, PlanSB includes an Adaptive Management Strategy — a feedback loop that requires decision-makers to constantly assess consequences of policy actions. As the saying goes, measure twice and cut once.

The AUD Ordinance requires that development stop when 250 units are ready for occupancy. No new applications can proceed until assessment of existing development is complete. However, projects in the pipeline could still proceed.

Developers’ use of AUD has exceeded all expectations. Our normal rate of growth is around 100 units a year. But with AUD, over 1,300 units have entered the development pipeline.

Under current regulations, all 1,300 units could be built in one fell swoop. A building surge of this magnitude is likely to cause outsized traffic, noise, and parking impacts.

Water consumption is another concern both today in the midst of this terrible drought and in the future.

To cope with the surge, the city can benefit from a Growth Management Ordinance.

The ordinance could limit the number of new building permits issued each year to our normal growth rate. The city could then better manage the impacts that accompany development.

A second set of development requirements is also needed to help fund Santa Barbara’s infrastructure. Our streets, sidewalks, buildings, and parks are suffering from inadequate investment. New development should contribute its fair share toward developing the infrastructure necessary to support it. Santa Barbara has until now allowed development to proceed without imposing mitigation fees, in effect forcing taxpayers to subsidize the impacts of new development. In contrast, our neighboring jurisdictions charge developers $10,000-$20,000 per unit to offset projects’ demands on infrastructure.

A growth management ordinance and development mitigation fees would reduce the impacts that new development will impose on our city. They are useful tools consistent with Plan Santa Barbara’s Adaptive Management Strategy that would help the city forge a more sustainable future. We have found a way to encourage moderate-cost housing. That housing needs to blend in with

our neighborhoods and to pay its fair share toward essential facilities.

Every Dog Has His Say

ith respect to “Every Dog Has His Day” [independent.com/dogtalk], as I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear, there was much with which I disagreed.

It’s untrue that CKE Restaurants is moving its corporate headquarters to Nashville because “California’s labor laws have proved too complicated.” California’s labor laws will continue to govern labor practices in our restaurants here after our headquarters move.

We are consolidating corporate headquarters in Nashville mainly because restaurants there are company-owned rather than franchised. We will also have a corporate office in Anaheim.

As a system, we employ more than 20,000 people. At the company level we employ about 10,000 people domestically; franchisees employ about 65,000 people domestically.

Not bad for a company started by a young man and his wife who, 75 years ago, bought a hot dog cart in South Central L.A. for $315.

Ninety percent of our employees do not make less than $9 an hour; our average restaurant-level wage is about $11. We offer all

After a year, full-time employees can have education benefits that max out at $20,000.

I am not simply “against raising the minimum wage.”

I am against raising the minimum wage dramatically so that it prices working-class youth out of the entrylevel jobs they need to get on the ladder of opportunity.

As Governor Brown said, raising “the minimum wage too much” would put “a lot of poor people out of work.”

I am not an “Anybody but Trump” supporter. I will support Trump or Kasich if one is the nominee. It is simply untrue that I contributed “at least $332,000 in campaign donations” this year; I do contribute to candidates, but this is a gross overstatement.

Nor am I paid “$17,000 a day.” I am well paid and proud of it, but not nearly that well. I started out making $1 an hour scooping ice cream; I painted houses, cut lawns, and busted up concrete with a jackhammer to support my family and pay for college and law school.

I hope all Americans will have the same opportunities I did.

Finally, while I did author the portion of law the Supreme Court upheld in the Webster case declaring human life begins at conception, I did not author the part covering public employees. The woman who ran the abortion clinic in that case and I did start what became the Common Ground Network for Life and Choice, which worked on ways to expand choices for women while limiting the number of abortions. The effort failed after a few years, but I thought it might interest you to learn that we made the effort. [See full version at independent.com/opinions.]

Real Progress?

J

erry Roberts’s column “Electoral Apartheid” [independent.com/electionapartheid] cites a study that reveals broad social, economic, and political disparities between voters and nonvoters, proof that we have to take action before politicians will attend to our needs and institute progressive changes. An excellent example of what happens when we don’t take action is Hillary Clinton’s token gestures to a vocal and active electorate. But will she really champion the changes the people of this nation need the most?

These days, national representatives don’t share the interests of all U.S. citizens, including people who aren’t eligible to vote.

Gossip and Hearsay

I

t was shocking to read Nick Welsh’s disrespectful expression of ignorance and personal showcasing in the Angry Poodle Barbecue on the murder of Dr. Henry Han [independent.com/dognotdead2], but I would have ignored it had I not been also offended by its oblique jabs at his reputation. Welsh’s account of the hearsay surrounding the murder of a brilliant healer reduces Han to fodder for sensationalist theorizing and The Independent to a purveyor of gossip.

In perpetuating stories that Welsh himself declared unsubstantiated, it was as though he said, “I just heard this somewhere. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I’ll pass it on.” Not only did he pass the stories on; he also placed them in an order that elicited speculation about relationships wholly created by his word choices and sequencing. Discussing the details of other people’s crimes while establishing that Han knew those people creates an association between him and those crimes whether or not it existed. Explicitly comparing a cosmetics scam with Han’s stem-cell research suggests the latter to have had a similar intent and reveals the poverty of Welsh’s actual knowledge about Han’s research plans and goals.

I understand that sarcasm and offhandedness are to be expected in this regular feature of The Independent, but as such, the subject of Han had no place in it. Welsh’s irresponsible conjecturing and his flippant tone were rough treatment for a fresh wound, insensitive to the loss of a respected and beloved person for whom the community mourns.

APRIL FOOL: Almost all the car-

In it, Trump reveals that his candidacy was just one big put-on. Hey, he’s not running after all. The pretend newspaper headlines “Trump Comes Clean: ‘Just a Joke, Folks!’” … “Amazed Anyone Believed He Was Serious.”

In another cartoon, a woman opens the door to her husband’s office, where he’s working at his desk: “Stop — that Trump cartoon you came up with this morning just happened.”

FUTURE FOR FILM: Roger Durling (left) of SBIFF and Michael Towbes worked for the past two years to craft a lease on the Riviera Theatre that will be a win-win for all involved.

SBIFF to Take Over the Historic Theater for Next 30 Years

by Matt Kettmann { Photos by Paul Wellman

Roger Durling moved to Santa Barbara almost 20 years ago, long before he took the reins as creative director of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, he quickly found solace in the Riviera Theatre.“It was a sanctuary for independent cinema,” said Durling of his first impressions of the theater, which is the centerpiece of a hillside, century-old office park just off Alameda Padre Serra that served as the first campus for both UCSB and SBCC. “And there’s something amazing about stepping out of a movie house and looking out to see the Channel Islands and the Arlington and all of downtown Santa Barbara from up there. It’s a pretty special view.”

Last Thursday, Durling and the film fest’s board officially became the conservators and curators of this cinematic sanctuary by signing a lease that effectively puts them in control of the Riviera Theatre for the next 30 years. The bold move puts an exclamation point on SBIFF’s evolution during the past decade from merely a 10-day festival into a truly year-round institution that showcases indie/foreign films every Wednesday, hosts celebrity interviews and prerelease screenings most weekends, throws two annual mini-fests, and is steadily expanding educational and free film opportunities for all ages and income levels.

“It’s a major turning point for the film festival,” said Durling.“It will crystallize the expansion of all the different programs we have. Ultimately, it will definitely grow our stature and importance culturally, not just in the city, but I’m certain on a national and international level.” hen

Film Fest’ s RivieRa DReam Comes tRue THe TOWBeS TOucH

In the works for nearly two years, the deal was specially crafted with property owner Michael Towbes, the developer whose philanthropic support for Santa Barbara’s artistic and cultural communities is unparalleled. “I was around when the film festival started, and to see the way it’s grown over the years—it’s quite impressive,” said Towbes.“It’s really helped put Santa Barbara on the map.”

Still, he was a little confused when SBIFF expressed interest in managing the Riviera as a year-round venue.“I had no idea that they had plans to expand their programming as much as they do,” said Towbes. But he was still reluctant because, for the past 27 years, the Riviera Theatre has been leased by the Metropolitan Theatres Corporation (MTC), the family-owned company that controls every other movie house in town.“We are very fond of the Metropolitan Theatre folks, and they’ve done a good job there, so it was not an easy decision,” said Towbes.“But I thought that being able to expand the activities of the film fest would be good for the community.”

The SBIFF team working the deal—which included president Mark Scher, CFO Bob Brada, Eric Phillips, and Jeff Barbakow— Barbakow also realized the potential political implications of taking over the lease, since they rent many State Street theaters from MTC during the January-February festival, an important concern considering SBIFF plans to always hold continued >>>

the extremely popular festival downtown. Luckily, their relationship with the Corwin family, which owns MTC, remains strong—in fact, MTC will likely continue running the Riviera’s day-to-day operations, though those details are still being worked out. “There was concern, of course, but they’ve [MTC and the Corwin family] been more than cooperative and are excited for us,” said Scher.“We will continue to work together and even deepen the relationship.”

David Corwin, president of MTC, confirms as much, though he said there are plenty of logistics left to untangle, from equipment to licensing issues.“It’s a little bit of a role reversal,” said Corwin.“But at the end of the day, the theater will get improved, and we will provide that much more programming for the community. It should be a win-win for everyone.”

As part of the lease — which is for 20 years with a 10-year option, though financial details have not yet been disclosed—Towbes is taking responsibility for infrastructure upgrades, such as the bathrooms, while SBIFF will raise an undetermined amount of money to fund improvements to the theater itself, from the seats and air conditioning to the sound system and screen projection. Towbes’s infrastructure work should start this summer (and the theater should remain open, though with porta-potties). SBIFF plans to start adding its touches in January 2017 when the film fest season is in full swing.

The theatrical improvements should take between six weeks and two months, and they’re long overdue, as complaints about the theater’s uncomfortable seating, stale air, and less-than-ideal movie-watching experience are common. “People are fine going into the theater in its historical condition,” said Brada,“but they’re gonna be really happy going in a year and a half from now.”

It’s not often that a nonprofit arts organization leaps into the brick-andmortar role of managing a venue, but Durling, who took leadership of the festival in 2002, explained that the idea of bringing everything under one roof has been on SBIFF’s collective mind for quite some time.“The recession slowed down a lot of these long-term plans that we had,” he said. “It

Everyone knows about the Santa Barbara International Film Festival itself, the 10-day cinematic extravaganza that takes over downtown every winter (next installment: February 1-11, 2017), but not so many know about what SBIFF does year-round.

Here’s a sampling:

The Wave: Two annual five-day festivals focused on films from specific parts of the world. This year’s offerings are Pan-Asia (May 11-15) and France (July 13-17). All screenings are at the Riviera.

Cinema Society: Members pay $600-$3,000 annually to attend

screenings almost every week at the Riviera, with an increasing frequency in the fall. They’re usually followed by a Q&A with one of the film’s stars in front of or behind the camera. The Rosebud scholarship allows 30 college students from around the Santa Barbara area to attend, as well.

The Showcase Film Series: Every Wednesday at 5 and 7:30 p.m., for

the price of a normal movie, SBIFF shows a foreign or independent film that otherwise would not have hit Santa Barbara screens. They play at Plaza de Oro but will soon move to the Riviera.

cover story enticing the place is but also because it’s a very sophisticated audience.”

SBIFF further fosters that sophistication into the younger generations through various outreach and educational programs, from the free AppleBox screenings for all ages to Mike’s Field Trip to the Movies, where kids from around the county’s schools, particularly those from lower-income areas, come to see a film and listen to a director talk. Both of those have traditionally happened only during the festival, but the plan is to offer them more regularly at the Riviera. SBIFF is also hosting a film camp this summer in conjunction with the Boys & Girls Club and kicking off the Rosebud Program, in which 30 college students from the Santa Barbara area will attend Cinema Society screenings and complete curriculum around them.

Much of this is done to honor the spirit of Mike DeGruy, the nature filmmaker and longtime SBIFF supporter who died in a 2012 helicopter crash while working. “He’s been a driving force and inspiration for all the programming,” said Durling, who keeps a photograph of DeGruy on his desk. “Now he would be very proud.”

wasn’t until a few years ago where we were financially in a good place to start fulfilling the idea of doing The Wave Film Festivals, to start doing Showcase screenings, and to expand the Cinema Society.” [See the sidebar “What Does SBIFF Do?” for more info on those.]

The latter’s growth to 500 members and dozens of films annually under Durling’s tenure is what prompted the move from downtown smaller theaters to the 400-seat Riviera more than a decade ago. The major draw is the celebrity factor, as Durling successfully attracts top directors, actors, and other talent to do Q&As in the theater after screening their new films, 33 of which showed last year. While a film festival taking over a venue is not entirely unheard of — the Seattle and Denver fests operate their own year-round venues, for instance — Durling explained, “The one thing that is extremely unique is the presence of the talent pool that attends the Cinema Society.” When he tells his friends who attend the renowned Lincoln Center film series in New York that he just screened Room and spoke to Brie Larson or did Concussion and interviewed Will Smith, they’re floored.

It’s certainly a chicken-and-egg situation, but Durling blames the intelligence of the Santa Barbara film audience for his ability to pull major names. “We hear it over and over again from the talent that comes,” he said. “They want to come to Santa Barbara not just because of how alluring and

Inspiration aside, even very successful nonprofits must constantly assess financial risk, which becomes especially acute when jumping into commercial real estate investments. That’s where Brada, formerly general counsel for MGM, and Scher, a commercial real estate developer and investor, came in. “We’re very expert-heavy on the board on how to deal with long-term leases,” said Brada, who explained that the organization is very sound financially and that plenty of numbers were crunched before diving into the lease, including how much rent they’re already paying to show weekly films. “It starts getting to where it’s a seriously limited financial risk in return for what I think strategically is a huge benefit.”

Scher admits that this is not meant to be a prof profitable venture and that lots of fundraising will be required, but that’s all been taken into account. “We have a five-year strategic plan that we’re executing on, and this is a big part of that plan,” said Scher.“The board has been very deliberate in making sure that we cannot only handle this lease, but that it will spur our growth.”

Towbes, meanwhile, believes that one of his favorite properties remains in very good hands. “It’s been a labor of love for me,” said Towbes of the Riviera complex, which he’s improved even when it doesn’t make economic sense.“I’m very fond of it, and it has such history, going back more than 100 years now.

I’ve treated it as a very special property.”

Presumably, thanks to the SBIFF outreach, even more Santa Barbarans will come to love it, as well. “There is such a voracious appetite in this town for independent cinema and foreign cinema and documentaries, and to be able to fulfill that necessity is terrific,” said Durling.

“And to have a place where we can do Field Trip to the Movies all year and to do AppleBox so low-income families can attend for free — all of these different things that the festival does will be maximized. And that is n hugely rewarding to know.”

Foraging

teaChing KidS to BiKe “Every kid should learn to ride a bike, but not every kid has the opportunity,” said Christine Bourgeois, who spearheaded the effort to bring a bicycle program into 2nd grade PE classes at seven elementary schools in Santa Barbara County. “Second grade is the perfect age to teach kids to ride their bikes because they don’t have fear, they’re not too embarrassed yet, and they’ve got the balance to ride,” said Bourgeois, who modeled the program after a successful one that’s been at Adams School for quite some time.

The four-week program teaches kids how to ride, covers cycling safety, and culminates with a class ride to the beach or a park. With the help of COAST and S.B. Bicycle Coalition, PE teachers—such as Christy Lozano (right center) at McKinley Elementary—are able to give each kid the attention they need when learning to ride. An anonymous foundation interested in teaching kids to bike in school provided funding and donated 20 bikes each to Franklin, McKinley, and Adams, while a fleet of 20 bikes in a trailer will make their way to the remaining schools, including two in Santa Maria.

“My hope is to change the culture of the schools and then hopefully change the culture at home, too,” said Bourgeois.

Sewing SanItary KItS t tS for Women In need

courtesy direct relief international

t would seem that Direct Relief administrative controller Julie Aguiniga has enough on her plate without also sewing reusable sanitary kits for girls and women lacking access to femininehygiene products. But in her spare time, sew kits she does.

“For me, it’s been an amazing process,” said Aguiniga when we spoke at the Goleta office of Direct Relief, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to people and communities affected by poverty or emergencies. “My mom and I have been doing this for about two years, and we’ve made about 600 kits.

This helps me feel so connected to the women we’re supporting in Direct Relief.”

Their kits have been sent to several countries, including Malawi, Peru, and Haiti. “Direct Relief has a program where we do cervical cancer screenings in Haiti,” Aguiniga said. “So some of the women who

were found to have pre-cancerous legions are being treated with cryotherapy, which is freezing, and the women who had the treatment will have discharge for a week or so afterwards as the cells slough off. So we gave kits to them.”

As for the kits themselves, Aguiniga explained, “Each girl gets eight pads, and you try to make them colorful fabric that would hide what they are being used for. And then when you hang them out to dry, they just look cute.” She continued, “The girls get two shields, eight liners, a washcloth, soap, underpants, and an instruction sheet, which isn’t words. It’s a visual because you don’t know what language the girls will speak when you send them to different countries.”

Aguiniga first became aware of the lack of access to sanitary kits in January 2014, when she read a story in O, The Oprah Magazine. The story was about the feminine-hygiene-focused nonprofit Days for Girls and its founder and CEO, Celeste Mergens, who worked in a Kenyan orphanage in 2008. During her time there, Mergens realized that some girls would skip school when they were menstruating because they lacked menstrual-hygiene materials.

Recalling a video she had watched, Aguiniga spoke with a quiver in her voice as she described a girl from Kenya who said that if she had to choose between food and sanitary towels, she would pick sanitary towels. Joining the conversation, Direct Relief CEO Thomas Tighe praised Aguiniga’s work: “At the end of the day, you do all this stuff for this basic, nice, human, emotional, important reason. To me, that’s what this represents perfectly.”

Walking

on the Wild Side

S

troll through any nearby forest or chaparral, and you’ll be struck by a botanic bouquet of enticing scents and curiously mouth-watering sensations. Your brain isn’t playing tricks.

These native lands offer up a number of edible plants and herbs ready for your kitchen — if you know where to look.

On Saturday, April 30, renowned author, professional forager, and self-described culinary alchemist Pascal Baudar will come from Los Angeles to join Ojai Herb Walks guide Lanny Kaufer for a foraging walk and “primitive herbal brewing” demonstration at Ojai’s Wheeler Gorge Nature Trail. In addition to teaching the basics of foraging and wild brewing, Baudar will serve examples of recipes from his recently published book, The New Wildcrafted Cuisine: Exploring the Exotic Gastronomy of Local Terroir— acorn hummus and pickled black walnuts being just some of the possible dishes.

With a deep knowledge of wild locavorism, Baudar built a name for himself sourcing ingredients for L.A.’s most celebrated chefs. Growing up in Bléharies, Belgium, a town of “1,500 people and a lot of cows,” Baudar acquainted himself with the hazelnuts, walnuts, and berries that grew throughout the forests there, and his interest went from pastime to survival skill to culinary technique. “I realized there was an open field of flavors and no one was doing anything with them, so I started working on culinary techniques, preservation methods, and recipes,” he said. “I try to take raw ingredients from the wilderness and transform them into something that people can enjoy from a culinary perspective.” A good example would be his Forest Beer, a hugely versatile brew made of varying leaves, barks, mushrooms, and plants.

Today, Baudar can collect an estimated 450 raw ingredients from nature, and he’s always finding more. His discoveries are opening up the possibility of as-yet-undeveloped cuisines, similar to the New Nordic cuisine that came into existence only years ago. Equipped with the knowledge of what to find, foragers can create “countless combinations — it’s really an infinite process,” Baudar said. “Even after 16 years of doing it, I keep finding new plants and new culinary uses. It’s very humbling, as you come to realize that you are really a student. The learning never stops.”

He hopes his class will inspire aspiring alchemists to see nature’s bounty. “I would love for people to realize that wild food is actually gourmet food,” he said. “It’s really a huge world of flavors begging to be discovered.”

Pet Adoption

living

S.B. humane SoCiety Hosts Open HOuse

t

he Santa Barbara Humane Society, which will host its annual open house this Sunday, is transforming the world of pet adoption. Each morning, 9 a.m.-noon, the shelter’s dogs get together in an outdoor pen for a playdate that helps socialize them with other dogs and people. “Thirty minutes in a play session is equivalent to a two-hour leash walk. We want their stay here to be like summer camp,” said Tucker Eurman, technical animal rescue training coordinator.

These playgroup sessions have become part of the dogs’ daily routines, and the Humane Society has seen a major improvement in the animals’ overall well-being. Socialization is key to ensuring that the dogs live happily and healthily. When “shelter dogs spend up to 23 hours of their day in a kennel,” said Erica Jackson, dog adoption counselor, running around outside is a “refreshing experience.”

The Humane Society has been hosting playgroups for one year, and they are the only shelter in the area with a consistent playgroup program intact. Dogs Playing for Life, a nonprofit organization that teaches shelters how to successfully run playgroups, visited the Humane Society last March. Since then, the Humane Society has seen an increase in adoptions.

In the past year alone, the average length of stay for dogs at the Humane Society dropped from two and a half years to nine months.

When workers spend quality time with the animals during playgroup, they can better gauge how the dogs will act once they are adopted. “We treat everyone as an individual,” said Jackson. The Humane Society’s open adoption technique also helps their dogs find forever homes. In the past, adoption involved yard and landlord checks, but under open adoption, there are fewer restrictions.

Instead, the Humane Society hopes to “use education to prevent cruelty to animals,” said Rebecca Tivang, public relations and events coordinator.

“With the proper education and tools,” said Jackson, “an individual can become the perfect person for their dog.”

On Sunday, May 1, from noon-4 p.m., the Santa Barbara Humane Society will host its annual open house at 5399 Overpass Road. This free, family-friendly event will feature adoptable dogs in playgroup sessions. It will also offer discounted $5 pet vaccinations at its on-site clinic, as well as activities including face painting, a magic show, and a children’s reading corner. Feel free to bring your dog to join in on the fun — or maybe take one home with you for a same-day adoption. Come be part of the fourlegged Santa Barbara community!

CARD COUNSELORS: Alain Cardinal and Carole Bennett (center) teach students at their Pacific Bridge School on De la Vina Street.

Bridge SChool’S BeneFitS Carole Bennett and Alain Cardinal Teach Classic and Competitive game on De la Vina Street

by Matt Kettmann

t

he memory is seared in my mind: A close cousin and I learning to play bridge one afternoon with my grandparents in their kitchen.

We were probably around 18 or so years old, and Grandpa was letting us puff from one of his old wooden pipes, so we shared lots of laughs through the yellow haze of tobacco smoke. Grandma died a few years later, and Grandpa is gone now, too, but I know they found magic in that moment, as two distinct generations — theirs of World War II and big bands, ours of Nintendo and hip-hop — bonded over the classic card game in which two-person teams bid and then compete for the most tricks.

So when the Pacific Bridge School opened in Santa Barbara a couple of months ago, this memory flared, and I decided to attend some classes to see how much I actually remembered from that long-ago afternoon. Set in a simple, lowslung building across from Jedlicka’s on De la Vina Street, the school was founded

by Carole Bennett, who’s been teaching bridge classes at SBCC for years, and Alain Cardinal, a French-Canadian retired IT expert who’s been playing since he was 15 years old.

“It’s like a little bridge country club,” explained Bennett of the school’s various offerings, from beginning to intermediate classes and supervised play days to private lessons and even monthly backyard barbecues. “We’ve made it so that Beginning students will move to Beyond Basics and then Beyond goes to Intermediate. We’re trying to build a career for them.”

Within a few minutes of my first class, I realized that what I’d been playing with my grandparents was the much more rudimentary and social game known as

4·1·1

rubber bridge (also called party bridge).

What the Pacific Bridge School teaches is duplicate bridge. This more competitive version uses special decks that are prearranged in a certain order so that the element of chance is removed and only bridge-playing skill is on display.

“It’s very intense and very difficult, but it’s also very stimulating,” said Bennett, who believes playing bridge is a good way for the aging population to keep their minds sharp. But she also hopes more younger people start taking up bridge, too. “We’re trying to make it an intergenerational kind of hobby,” explained Bennett, who thinks it takes about six months of steady studying and playing to really get the hang of it. “It’s exciting when you see that light go on and a student says, ‘Yes, I’ve got it,’ ” she said.

I didn’t quite get there in the couple of courses I attended. Bridge truly has its own language, and the scribblings Bennett and Cardinal throw up on the whiteboard look like advanced calculus equations. I also discovered that they are teaching certain types of strategies but that there isn’t one right way to play.“This is one of thousands of conventions,” said Cardinal during one lesson. “There are multiple ways to play bridge, and there is no best way.”

After each lesson, the students get to play some hands, and that’s when I started to rekindle that thrill I’d first found with my grandparents 20 years ago. I don’t have enough free time on my hands to dive into a bridge career quite yet, but it’s certainly a game that I look forward to playing when I do. And maybe one day I’ll play with my own grandkids, too, most likely minus the pipe smoke.

The Pacific Bridge School (2600 De la Vina St., Ste. E) is hosting Learn Bridge in a Day classes on Saturday-Sunday, May 14-15, at 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., for $65. See pacificbridgeschool.com or call 453-9701.

nly once has a UCSB team experienced the thrill of playing for an NCAA Division 1 championship in front of a home crowd: the men’s volleyball final between the Gauchos and UCLA Bruins at Robertson Gym on May 11, 1974.

ABC’s Wide World of Sports was there to televise the event, and for the Gauchos, the result came to symbolize the second part of the network’s slogan,“The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” UCLA, thrice beaten by UCSB during the regular season, came back from a 2-1 deficit to win the best-of-three match in five sets.

“The pain of it never really goes away,” said Marc “Cubby” Jacobs, one of the most upbeat players on that closely knit team. “I’ll never be okay with it,” said Jon Roberts, whose rock-solid blocking stymied UCLA through much of the match.

“You’ve got to accept the high highs and the low lows. Some of the best champions suffered terrible losses.”

The Bruins’ victory was their fourth in the first five NCAA volleyball championships.

nally from Nicaragua, dad Carlos Lopez also beams proudly.

“There’s an implicit understanding,” Anna says of working with her sister.“Nobody else is going to get it like my sister and me.”

Le Sorelle items (which include gluten-free spaghetti, casarecce, and fusilli) can be found at S.B. Winery and Grassini Winery, while chefs at Bucatini on State Street and Four Seasons’ Bella Vista employ them in their kitchens.

We spoke to Donatella Lorenzoni-Lopez about the business she and Anna launched in 2012 by originally carrying Primitivo.

Greece Is the Word: “Puglia, the ‘heel’ of Italy’s boot, is much more reminiscent of Greece than to places in Northern Italy. Very Mediterranean.

Rocky, limestone soil. Turquoise blue waters. Infinite olive trees that date back to Roman times and still produce beautiful oil. Pugliese cuisine is the quintessential Mediterranean diet: lots of olive oil, fish, vegetables, fresh fruits, and nuts. Puglia is a foodie ‘hot spot’ among Italians. Italians often take ‘food vacations’ in Puglia just to enjoy the local cuisine.”

Personal Touch: “We curate our products ourselves. No middle person. No central distributor.

The fact that we are both fluent in Italian facilitates a close relationship with all our producers. We take the time to visit and get to know them and their production values before we decide to carry their products.”

Pugliese Power: “Our producers never cut corners with cheap seed or corn oils. In fact, we tell our clients not to toss out that oil, to keep it for adding flavor to salads, soups, or pastas. It’s good stuff!”

t’s April 7, a wet evening along Yanonali’s winery row. As happy hour packs tasting stops to the gills, a private celebration envelops Santa Barbara Winery (SBW). Inside, enormous wine barrels loom over an ochre-tinted scene as Gris, SBW’s adorably plump house cat, pads around the vast room as attendees partake in salads and reds.

The occasion: the first anniversary of Le Sorelle, a Santa Barbara–based importer of products from Puglia, a peninsula town in Italy’s most southern region. Anna Carla Lopez-Carr and Donatella Lorenzoni-Lopez, the siblings behind Le Sorelle (Italian for “the sisters”), grew up summering at their mother’s ancestral town.

Part pat on the back, part product-line demonstration, this party’s mission is twofold: Let’s celebrate, and let’s strut our stuff. Buffet highlights include fresh dip made from Terra Rubra Artichokes, salad incorporating Terra Rubra Semi-Sundried Tomatoes, and organic orecchiette covered in mozzarella. An edamame-resembling pasta salad is made of Sabatelli Foglie d’Ulivo (olive tree leaf).

What does all this food — whipped up by Santa Barbara’s Jolly Brothers Catering — have in common (deliciousness notwithstanding)?

They incorporate Le Sorelle products. Yes, even a scrumptious icing-topped lemon cake (which elsewhere would’ve been of the crappy, store-bought variety) contains Adamo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, an unadulterated olio santo made the old-school way in Puglia.

According to the sisters, Adamo is the real deal, as 70 percent of extra virgin on supermarket shelves — even Italian imports —is adulterated.

Guest Andy “The Singing Chef” LoRusso says he only uses olive oil from Le Sorelle at home.“It’s like a prime sirloin steak,” he says.

“I’m very proud of them, and it’s very emotional for me to see our heritage is here and how they wanted to honor it,” says glowing mom Marcella Lorenzoni-Lopez of her daughters’ work. Origi-

here’s more to going from a banker to a baker than losing that “n.” That’s particularly the case for Pierre Henry, who, with his wife, Nelly Henry (both pictured above), opened Bree’osh Café on Coast Village Road last October, the culmination of a circuitous route from Paris to Montecito.

It began in 2012, when Pierre left his customer-relationship management position with a bank. “I wanted to do what I wanted,” said Pierre, who then enrolled at the prestigious Ferrandi culinary school and worked at a Michelinstarred restaurant.“I wanted to work with my hands.”

The Henrys originally intended to open their own establishment in South America, as Nelly went to school in Mexico and loved it. “We were in Latin America for six months, going through Chile, Peru, and Colombia, but it didn’t happen,” he said. “The real estate market is crazy—you would pay a really high rent plus an 11 percent increase a year.”

Friends invited them to Santa Barbara in March 2015—they’d only been to the States once during a brief New York trip before. They were smitten and also saw a niche to fill.“We want to open a boulangerie,” he explained.

“Renaud is more a pastry maker than a baker, and a pâtisserie and a boulangerie are a big difference in France.”

They opted to make brioche, in part because the café’s small kitchen didn’t have room for large ovens, although they started baking off-site at a commercial kitchen in early April.

As for the name, the Henrys wondered whether brioche was really understood in America. “In France, brioche is not a bread; brioche is brioche,” said Pierre, who’s had to explain the difference repeatedly.“We found a good way to communicate was to use the phonetic approach, and voilà!”

Still, some don’t like the name, and others are confused, said Nelly, explaining, “Customers come in and think my name is Bree.”

But no matter the spelling, Bree’osh’s brioche is delicious dough that can get either sweet or savory treatments, from sweet almond to Kalamata olive/basil to seasonal lemon.

The plain ones make a tasty base for sandwiches like croque monsieurs or the Cambridge House smoked salmon with goat cheese, capers, and red onion. As Pierre explained, “There is no need to add lots of things to have something —George Yatchisin very tasty.”

in a masala sauce of ginger, garlic, and spices in a tomato base — a complete vegetarian delicacy.

The korma is a mix of carrots, cauliflowers, and peppers that Dhirajlal described wonderfully as “a bounty from the local farms, wrapped in a cashew and coconut base.” The aroma and brightness of the flavors in my chicken tikka masala made me feel energized instead of heavy and full, and the rice and mango chutney balanced everything sweetly. Lastly, the toor dal brought a spicy, slightly sweet, nutty, and almost cinnamon taste to the table. It was the perfect healthy meal to fill me up after a wonderful El Niño surf session.

Monica diaz @ Mony’s Mexican Food

• Wine Guide

Tenure: Opened Mony’s in July 2013. Prior to

that, she and her husband, Jose Diaz, were the owners of the Hidden Dolphin Café, one of the first eating establishments in the Funk Zone, as well as the longtime owners of Mony’s food truck.

Résumé: Growing up in Colima, Mexico, Mon-

ica “Mony” Diaz started cooking as a child, developing her own sazón (seasoning) for authentic tacos. Taking inspiration from those experiences, Diaz continues to pass on her traditions to her family at her lower Anacapa Street taquería, where she works alongside Jose and their children, Carlos, Paola, and Danny. “When I cook, I cook for my family,” said Diaz, whose menu often includes flavorful meats such as buche (pork stomach) and cabeza (beef head). “You can taste it in my food. As a family-run business, we are all part of the process.”

Dish she digs: Al pastor taco. Beginning each

morning at 5 a.m., the pork shoulder is hand chopped and sliced and marinated in special spices, such as cinnamon and chocolate. Rather than roasting the meat on a trompo (spit) as is typical for al pastor, the meat is grilled a la plancha (on an iron plate) with fresh onions and pineapple for a sweet touch.

The scoop: Mony’s began as a food truck 16

years ago, making 10-12 stops a day. While they

Jose and Mony Diaz

still use the truck for catering, the popularity of their brick-and-mortar establishment has rapidly grown and was featured on the Cooking Channel’s Taco Trip. Diaz treats every customer as her own family, prepares all the food fresh and from scratch, and supports artists by displaying their works on her walls and tables. Make sure to check out their salsa bar, with intriguing flavors such as pistachio and peanut, and don’t miss the red barbacoa taco, made from a slow-cooked stew of beef, marinated dried chilies, onions, and garlic.

“We love our Santa Barbara family and this town,” said Diaz, who hopes to one day expand her taco empire.“We are very grateful.” —Rachel Hommel 217 Anacapa St., 895-2978, facebook.com/ Monysmexicanfood.

imita’s Cuisine recently opened in the former home of Muddy Waters on East Haley Street, where Nimita Dhirajlal serves organic, farmto-table, Ayurvedic Indian fare. Like the former coffee shop tenant once did, Dhirajlal plans to make her space open for gatherings, events, and entertainment. “We’re creating a community hub where good things happen: music, meditation classes, mixers,” she said. “We offer a peaceful setting with good food and positive happenNimita Dhirajlal ings that support Santa Barbara’s beautiful culture.”

An ancient form of Indian medicine and nutrition, Ayurvedic cuisine seeks to create optimum balance in the body, and Dhirajlal learned to cook in this fashion from a swami who lives in Carpinteria. A great introduction is the Thali Plate, which includes vegetable korma, tikka masala, paneer masala, toor dal, and basmati rice with mango chutney, and represents sweet, savory, spicy, bitter, and sour flavors.“The Thali is a sampler plate, but it also covers all of the needs of a healthy diet,” said Dhirajlal, who presents her version on a large silver dish with small bowls.

“So we have lentils for protein, the vegetables are packed with vitamins and rice for carbohydrates, and the Ayruvedic spices are cleansing.”

I started with the paneer, whose homemade cubes of soft, rich, and creamy cheese are served

eader Wade was walking his dog near the newly opened side of the Mission Creek Bridge project on Cabrillo Boulevard and noticed work being done on the original Keeper’s Lighthouse building, also the former home of Rusty’s Pizza. He checked the City of Santa Barbara Building Permit status online, which indicates that a new, unknown restaurant is doing work on the first floor along with the addition of a second floor and balcony. It is unknown if the property is still held by the family who owns Rusty’s or if there is brand-new ownership.

PHAMOUS CAFÉ OPENS: Reader Hugh let me

know that a Vietnamese sandwich shop named Phamous Café has opened at 7127 Hollister Avenue, Suite 25, in Goleta next to Albertsons, in the space formerly occupied by Quiznos Sub. NOODLE CITY CLOSES: Reader Hugh also let me

know that the opening of one Vietnamese restaurant has been accompanied by the closing of another.

Noodle City at 5869 Hollister Avenue in Old Town Goleta has closed its doors. Reader Christie tells me that there is a sign that says they will be “closed awhile” so perhaps this is not the last we see of them.

Noodle City opened in November 2007.

STARBUCKS COMING TO UCSB: Reader

DeeDee (who is also my sister) alerted me to the fact that writer Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs at the Daily Nexus has announced that the first Starbucks will open at UCSB in the UCen this fall, replacing Nicoletti’s, a café that’s been on campus for more than 25 years. The Nexus reports that a committee of faculty, staff, and students evaluated bids for the location and decided the new Starbucks would be more popular among students. The university will reportedly own and operate the location and employ UCSB students.

HANDLEBAR COFFEE COMING TO DE LA VINA: Reader Brendan spotted a “coming soon”

sign for Handlebar Coffee at 2720 De la Vina Street, the former home of Sleep Shoppe. I’m told that the building is being extensively renovated. Handlebar Coffee opened its first South Coast location at 128 East Canon Perdido Street in November 2011.

CORAZON COCINA COMING TO PUBLIC MARKET: Reader Brendan passed the word that

the Facebook page for the Santa Barbara Public Market at 38 West Victoria Street includes this announcement: “Coming soon to the Public Market, Corazon Cocina SB! Chef Ramon Velazquez will open up his first restaurant, offering his popular tacos, ceviche, and more every day!”

CACHUMA LAKE CAFÉ: Reader Primetime tells

me that the Santa Barbara County Parks department is getting set to open a new café near the boat marina at Cachuma Lake. The photos sent to me show an interior that is mostly complete.

This is an interesting development considering that Cachuma Lake might be in tumbleweed status within a year.

CAT BURGER? Word on the street is that the new

Mesa Burger coming to 315 Meigs Road, the former home of recently closed Mexican Fresh Taquería, is being brought to you in part by celebrity chef, and Mesa resident, Cat Cora.

LE PETIT BISTROT UPDATE: Reader Wade also

informed me that the signs for a new French restaurant named Le Petit Bistrot, coming to 532 State Street, the former home of Verdé and Zia Café, have been taken down. I don’t have any confirmation that the plans for the eatery, announced in this column in January, have changed.

DRAUGHTSMEN OPENS: Reader Paulette sent a tip that a new production brewery and taproom called Draughtsmen Aleworks, announced here in February, has opened at 53 Santa Felicia Drive in Goleta. Santa Felicia Drive runs behind Best Buy, and #53 is at the north end, across Hollister.

LOMPOC UPDATE: This is a bit out of my usual

coverage area, but one of Lompoc’s most distinctive restaurants, the Jalama Beach Café on Ocean Avenue (noted for its huge “Hi! Let’s Eat” sign out front), has closed. Thanks to reader Bernard for the tip.

RESTAURANT CONNECTION UPDATE:

Reader Annie reveals that Kai Sushi, Sachi Ramen & Robata Bar, and Saigon are all now available for delivery with Restaurant Connection. Visit restaurantconnectionsb.com.

MOTHER’S DAY ROOFTOP BRUNCH: Finch

& Fork’s Chef James Siao has put together a buffet for the whole family this coming Mother’s Day, set to stunning mountain views. Choose from an array of stations, including “build-your-own” omelets, chilled seafood, and a meat-carving station. Other brunch favorites include a grilled stone fruit salad with pulled mozzarella, petite arugula, toasted pistachios, and fig reduction and brioche French toast with maple syrup and mixed berry compote. A dessert table is also included ($85 per person; 31 W. Carrillo St.; call 879-9100).

Ed’s Red 2012 Ad California

Turns out winemakers are a lot like us — they don’t want to spend a mint drinking, either. To fix that problem of high-priced wine, Edwin Richards, one of the owners of Adastra Wines in Napa, developed Ed’s Red, a blend that they joke “pairs well with mammoth or its vegetarian equivalent.” Though the suggested price is $17, it’s on their website now for $11.99.

Mammoth is key, as the wine is bold and fruity without sinking into a La Brea ooze of overdoneness. While it’s 50 percent merlot, it’s not just a Bordeaux blend, for it also contains zin, petite sirah, barbera, and syrah. The grapes all come from throughout NorCal, namely the Sierra Foothills, Sonoma, Napa, and Lake County.

It’s perfect for pizza night or to be surreptitiously shared at the Association of Writers & Writing Programs Bookfair in L.A. recently. Thanks, Napa Valley Writers’ Conference!

the arts … The arts are tools to be free and to build how we want to live in a very poetic way,” she said.

She also expressed the band’s hopes to educate through music, and indeed, Monsieur Periné’s music is a history lesson in genres and cultural currents. García described their sound as one that honors music-makers of eras past. “To know our history, to know our cultural roots, to learn where we are from is really important,” she said. Introducing the world to their distinctive sound, which was recently featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts, has enriched their own history and their connection to their homeland. “Music has been really important for growing this relationship with our country and with our continent, and also the world. When you start traveling and interacting with different cultures, then you learn how the human being is so beautiful.

You can express yourself in so many ways.”

The band’s talent for weaving multiple Latin American traditions and themes into its music shows up in recent songs such as “Cempasúchil,” a collaboration with Café Tacvba singer Rubén Albarrán from 2015’s Caja de Música. The song was inspired by

DJ UnDerbelly Ripple

You may know Azeem Ward tourmate DJ Underbelly from 2013’s personable YouTube tutorial “You Suck at Producing,” in which the current UCSB student good-humoredly guides the viewer through producing a drum sample. He comes off as chill, smart, and deeper than meets the ear. The same could be said for his new EP, Ripple, a three-track poolside playlist for pondering and playing alike. “Breather” opens the set with breathy beats and psychedelic innocence, while “Stingray,” a highlight, features a waterfall-like piano line. Somewhere between the nostalgic console-game chill of Friendzone and the aquatic ambience of Fur/Coyote Clean Up, DJ Underbelly makes electronica that’s thoughtful, relaxing, and very strong.

—RD

the band’s trip to Mexico for Día de los Muertos, where García caught sight of the cempasúchil flower, the symbolism of which she found beautiful. “It’s a really old story related to the native people of Central America and the power to communicate the energy of the sun with the dead people,” she said of the marigold. “Latin-American folk music is always sensitive about what’s going on with the people who live and who are related to the earth. Young people are not all the time engaged with talking about these traditions, so we need to keep them alive and talk about them in a different way.”

No matter your heritage or age, there will be plenty to inspire you in Monsieur Periné’s performances. “Art is a form of empowerment,” García said. “When you are empowered of yourself, then you can change your world.”

—Richie DeMaria

Mark roberts banD SongS fRom the goodland

Goleta’s own Mark Roberts Band is back in action with Songs from the Goodland Goodland, spring-loaded with beachy Americana tracks based on the everyman struggles of 12-hour shifts, loneliness, and rejuvenating love. It broaches working-class subjects found in country music, but without the genre’s signature vocal twang, and ventures into piano-driven blues on songs like the aptly named “Working Hand Blues.”

On “Something in the Water,” they express their frustration with the complacency of the American public toward their own politicians’ pay “as long as they’re safe at home watching their TV.” Goodland’s most interesting moments come when the band members pair together, like in the simultaneous guitar parts in “2 Pooped 2 Pop” that imitate a horn section, overlaid with slide acoustic guitar and piano, or the guitar solos on “Destination Overload” that clash excitedly with the background instruments. The independence of Mark Roberts Band’s musicians only creates a more dynamic whole.

Event organizer and Broken Machine frontman Schyler Douglas said he felt inspired to host the fundraiser because of Sanders’s populist politics.

“He stands for what I think most people want, which is a more equitable society,” he Bernie Sanders said. “I’m not a huge fan of politics, but this is the first candidate who has ever really spoken to my basic truths, and every band that’s participating feels the same way.”

“He just seems like a cut-and-dry kind of guy,” said Afishinseathemoon’s Johnny McCann. “I agree with the way he wants to get the corruption out of the election process. I feel like the whole system is bought and paid for, and he’s the guy that can fight for it.”

Though the viability of Sanders securing the Democratic nomination has been weakened following Hillary Clinton’s victory in the New York primaries last week, Douglas feels the fundraiser is still important for keeping the momentum alive. “Just because we lost New York doesn’t mean we have to give up now.

We got to keep up bringing awareness to what’s going on in regard to voter suppression and to push our government to work for the people instead of the fucking corporations,” he said.

The fundraiser comes just before Broken Machine releases its first album in its five-year career, which featured help from area musical legends such as Snot’s Mikey Doling and Ugly Kid Joe’s Dave Fortman. Hidden City Studios founder Elliott Lanam was also a huge help in creating the album, Douglas said.

In addition, Afishnseathemoon will release a new album this summer. McCann encourages Sanders supporters to come out even if they feel disheartened.

“Besides the music, just come out to SOhO and meet some Bernie supporters and get everybody on the same page. Don’t be discouraged by anything the media says or doesn’t say,” he said.

Bands for Bernie featuring Afishnseathemoon, Killer Kaya, Souvenirs, and Broken Machine will play at SOhO (1221 State St.) at 8:30 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit sohosb.com.

onsieur Periné — they’re zestful, dynamic, whimsical, and wonderful, and thanks to ¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara!, UCSB Arts & Lectures, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, area families can hear them here for free. The vibrantly original Colombian group, which last year took home the Latin Grammy for Best New Artist, will play a series of free outreach performances intended especially for families.

For three days, venues across Santa Barbara County will be alive with Monsieur Periné’s bright suin a la colombiana, a buoyant blend of 1930s French swing and traditional Latin rhythms. The band will play first at Isla Vista School on Friday, at Guadalupe’s City Hall Auditorium on Saturday, and on Sunday at Santa Barbara Junior High’s Marjorie Luke Theatre. But that’s not all —the group will also decorate the steps of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art with its music that Sunday afternoon, where families can make art and listen to the sweet swing of Monsieur Periné along with free admission to the museum.

Singer Catalina García said she and her band are ecstatic at the opportunity to play for kids and teens, with this being their firstever series of outreach performances in the U.S. “We are super excited. You don’t always have the opportunity to play for students, so it’s great. We’re gonna have this big opportunity to show them why art is so important,” she said in a phone interview. Besides their public performances, the band will also play exclusively for young listeners at a number of area schools and community centers during the day.

García hopes the events inspire their young listeners and instill in them a sense of the transformative, self-empowering powers of creativity.“We are from Colombia, where art is a huge tool that we have to change our reality, you know? It’s a hard country, and many kids don’t have the opportunity for

S

incerity and authenticity have long been out of fashion in much of contemporary art, yet for certain individuals, these values not only retain their luster but also shine with a fresh light against the contrasting background of artistic quotation, replication, and pseudosophistication.

It would be hard to find a better example of an artist for whom sincerity and authenticity continued to work than Ray Strong. The impression left

by Ray Strong: American Artist, the beautiful and learned new book on his career that has just been published, fully justifies the claim that Strong is the most influential artist in the history of Santa Barbara.

It’s also, from cover to cover, a sheer delight, melding half a dozen fascinating scholarly essays with hundreds of pages of exquisite full-color reproductions of the work. Without Strong, not only would there be no Oak Group, but it’s likely that there would be no distinctive association of Santa Barbara with top-quality plein air landscape painting. Such was the generosity of the man as a teacher, mentor, and friend to other artists that his influence can be seen everywhere among the brightest lights of our art scene, from compatriots Arturo Tello and Michael Drury to innovators such as Nicole Strasburg, Hank Pitcher, and Angela Perko. On Thursday, May 5, Sullivan Goss will celebrate the publication with a party and an exhibition that will continue until July 3.

As readers of these essays by Nancy Dustin Wall Mouré, Sandra Francis, Martha Lee Owen, Donald J. Haggerty, Dennis M. Power, and Michael Whitt will discover, Strong was not so much a man of contradictions as he was someone within whom seeming oppositions could be reconciled.

A wanderer who traversed Oregon, California, Texas, and New York with his paints, canvas, and brush, Strong nevertheless continually expressed a profound rootedness and awareness of place. He was never a modern artist —something that cost him considerably in regard to career advancement, especially within the academy — yet he was always entirely in the moment, and today his work is the opposite of dated. Although the sinuous contours of his beloved golden hills remain the most vivid memory of his work in most observers’ minds, leafing through the pages of Ray Strong: American Artist reveals that he was equally at home with the undersides of cloudbanks, the rippling surfaces of the ocean, and even the cracked concentric circles of cut tree stumps.

While Strong’s images are highly evocative of the early 20th century, the genesis of the Ray Strong Project belongs 100 percent to the 21st. Faced with the challenge of producing not only this gorgeous monograph but also a catalogue raisonné listing every known work by this extremely prolific artist, Frank Goss and Jeremy Tessmer chose an innovative response and funded the entire project through a Kickstarter campaign.

Much more than a coffee-table book, and as beautiful an object as anything published by Rizzoli, Ray Strong: American Artist is an essential document of Santa Barbara’s most important painter.

The forum is free to the public, and strategically presented alongside the Downtown Organization’s 1st Thursday offerings; Ching is hoping to lure passersby in to experience an evening of conceptual and exploratory works.

“There’s a secondary audience at 1st Thursday that may wander in and see something that may be a little bit new or challenging for them, but they’ll engage in it and talk about it and hopefully enjoy something other than the usual.” This round, the works on offer include a collaborative dance piece by choreographer Robin Bisio and area band Ghost Tiger, two performanceart pieces by Ally Bortolazzo and Amanda Staples, a juxtaposition of movement and writing by Melissa Lowenstein, and a multimedia project

by Ethan Turpin, Bisio, and Bonnie Crotzer.

Evaluating an artist’s work in their presence can feel eerily like analyzing who they might be as human beings, and in an effort to keep the dialogue flowing smoothly, art lecturer and moderator Elizabeth Folk has been brought in to ensure the proverbial gloves stay on. “The positive things are all really wonderful, but I’m looking for something more, and these artists are here because they want something deeper, too.”

Finding Vivian Maier

sPrInG ProGrAm d

uring the past 40 years, Santa Barbara Dance Theater (SBDT) has galvanized its community role as a multifaceted creative lab for choreography and performance, serving as an educational platform for professional dancers and students to draw inspiration from one another.

Within the supportive confines of the UC school system, SBDT has had the unique opportunity to utilize resources otherwise unavailable to a regional company of its size, pulling in talent that has catapulted its reputation into a forum for boundary-pushing movement.

This season, the organization steps off campus and heads to the Lobero Theatre for a downtown appearance

by Ninette Paloma and a few edgy works to add to its growing repertoire. “I grew up in an urban setting,” mused SBDT Artistic Director Christopher Pilafian,“so I’m constantly drawn to the energy of density and diversity.” The program is titled Santa Barbara Dance Theater … and Friends and is chock-full of guest artists and cutting-edge choreographers who will be adding their distinctive approaches to an already heterogeneous company.

Joining the organization this season is Canadian choreographer Joshua Beamish, whose latest work for the Royal Ballet in London has already garnered well-earned attention, and Emily Schoen, an emerging choreographer fresh from a few seasons with Keigwin + Company and Jacob’s Pillow Dance. The two have hand-selected dancers from both SBDT and the greater Santa Barbara community to set contemporary works touching on environmental and conceptual themes.

The program will also include an encore presentation of Pilafian’s “Strange Attractor” and a solo performance by Beamish himself, offering a rare treat for Santa Barbara audiences to juxtapose an eclectic range of styles and approaches over the course of one evening. When asked about the significance of bringing a sweeping scope of artists and methods out of the university and into the city’s urban artery, Pilafian doesn’t miss a beat: “As performing artists, we’re in the business of inspiration and stimulation, and I want to see SBDT embraced by the entire community as a strong embodied instrument for the development of an artistic voice.”

ike any pop music enthusiast, I’m a sucker for catchy tunes delivered by beautifully coordinated double-lead vocals and with outfits to match, and Lucius’s infectious, Spector-esque debut album, Wildewoman, hit the spot. Likewise, the band’s latest effort, Good Grief, did not disappoint. Keeping all of the sparkly, retropop sensibilities intact, this new album offers some insight on the deep personal impact that life as a touring musical act has had on the members of Lucius. I spoke to one of the band’s two frontwomen, Holly Laessig, over the phone on April 1, and she told me a little more about it.

and you just fly forward. We were still, which was uncomfortable, and all this stuff came out. We had a few sessions, Jess [Wolfe] and I, to go through our journals and our voice memos and ideas that we had. There were a lot of relationship struggles, and there were a lot of personal struggles, and things that we had been experiencing along the way but hadn’t really had time to reflect on. I think in response to that, one of the first songs we worked on was “Born Again Teen.” I think several of the other songs were really intense, and it was like, “Ugh, we just got off tour; do we really want to deal with this right now?

Let’s start with something light.”

PURPLE ROYALTY: Goodnight, sweet Prince — a king and a prince, and a queen in his ways, too. So all-encompassing and wide-reaching was the Minneapolis-born megastar in his influence and impact that he can lay reasonable claim to all titles of rock royalty. As of last week, we can now count him among the stars, along with David Bowie and Merle Haggard, whose earthly glint the passage of 2016 has snuffed out but who will burn brightly forever in the minds and skies of listeners and lovers into eternity.

For a man like Prince simply doesn’t die—even in his death, he will continue to do more and influence more than many still living. I was lucky to see the Artist twice in 2011, when he played a 21-show residency at Los Angeles Forum in Inglewood. Those shows were legendary. Just about everyone in L.A. had a different story of their show, recounting with awe their night’s 15-minute rendition of “Purple Rain” or a dramatic “Darling Nikki,” or Sheila E.’s incredible drum solo, or what guest star showed up, with artists such as Stevie Wonder or Gwen Stefani or Janelle Monáe joining in on the fun.

And then there were the mythic after-parties, where Prince was said to continue playing until dawn after a three-hour set, night in, night out.

The tickets were only $25 with no service fees, meaning these were shows for the people. It’s in his social activism that Prince stood out, and he should be remembered as an artist who used his power to empower others. He was a staunch advocate of artists’ rights.“When you stop a man from dreaming, he becomes a slave,” he once said while embroiled in a dispute with Warner Bros. Records over ownership to his songs.

What’s more, Prince, like Bowie, stood for self-expression. He was flexible in scope and style, a beautiful shape-shifter who showed a kind of compassionately trans-human perspective on the world — see “If I Was Your Girlfriend.” He inspired us all in his colorful individuality and encouraged us all to live with a little more flavor and passion.

With immense gratitude and love, we bid you farewell, Prince. See you at the after-party.

A DRAM OF POOR MAN’S WHISKEY: I.V.-born bluegrass/rock fusion band Poor Man’s Whiskey, known for its expert bluegrass covers of Dark Side of the Moon and Graceland, is back this weekend with a rousing set featuring original material at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St., sohosb .com) on Friday, April 29, at 9:30 p.m. Life’s been good for the heavily touring group, says cofounder Josh Brough, a roller-coaster of times good and bad. S.B. will be happy to host their friendly faces again. Their shows are renowned for their dance-inducing energy, such as at a recent Salt Lake City show where people were “bouncing off the walls” with enthusiasm.

“After the show, I remember having a celebratory beer with my bandmates and thinking ‘Okay, I know what I’m doing with my life, this is it, and I’m stoked to be doing it,’ ” Brough said.

EXHIBITION

Horror-Bent Fest ‘A Little Bit Twisted, A Little Bit Fun’

Reception / Award Ceremony: Friday, April 15 | 5 – 7 p.m. | Juried by Maiza Hixson

April 15 – May 6, 2016

A

trio of film and theater devotees is preparing for the first-ever Isla Vista Film Festival, to be held April 30 at I.V. Theater. UCSB film major Lesem Puerto, theater and dance fellow Alesha Claveria, and founder of horror-themed Shockfest Film Festival Guil Claveria this year formed a campus club dedicated to bringing visual arts and live performance into I.V. “I think it’s momentous in a sense because no one’s done it,” said Guil of the evening-long event, with its ambitious program featuring a live performance

by UCSB’s Musical Theater Society and — among other pictures — a documentary about the making of a horror film and another about social justice in Uganda. Since January, Puerto — a student in Alesha’s I.V. Improvability production class — and the couple have been posting flyers and screening submissions of everything from horror shorts to music videos to an existentialist film.

Student-made shorts take the screen alongside work by more seasoned filmmakers. L.A.-based film and TV director Patricia Chica will present U.S. premieres of a documentary, The Gold Inside, and a short, Crimson Dance. Chica is one of the professional filmmakers who’ll offer a Q&A session, which Guil calls “the most beneficial thing any of the film students can come to.”

“We wanted to emphasize student work,” said Puerto, who intends to pursue a film career in Hollywood. “It can be tough when you’re starting out to sort of see a way forward in the industry, and that’s what I really love about our feature [film] … the people

behind that have done all kinds of different indie,” said Alesha. “They’ve turned filmmaking, a hobby, into an actual profession,” added Guil.

The fest’s main draw, Guil anticipates, will be feature film House of Manson. Tracing the Manson Family murders in the summer of 1969, indie filmmaker Brandon Slagle’s horror movie has not yet been distributed in the U.S. House of Manson’s leading lady, B-circuit “scream queen” Devanny Pinn, known to pose in costume with blood at industry conventions, will travel to I.V. for the festival. It’s going to be “a little bit twisted, a little bit fun,” said the trio of the horror-bent affair.

— Léna Garcia

The Isla Vista Film Festival takes place Saturday, April 30, at 7-10 p.m. at I.V. Theater (960 Embarcadero del Norte, Isla Vista). Tickets are $3 at UCSB’s A.S. Ticket Office and at the door.

Hello, My Name Is Doris

Barbershop: The Next Cut (112 mins.; PG-13)

Calvin and his crew are back, and changes abound. The barbershop is now coed, and the neighborhood has taken a turn for the worse. Once again it’s up to Calvin and his friends to save the community.

Metro 4 A.J. Harris, award winning author will discuss his latest novel

Compadres (101 mins., R) In this action/comedy, a grumpy Mexican cop teams up with a teenage hacker to seek revenge against a crime lord who killed his wife and framed him.

FATAL FORMULA The year is 1953, doctors, nurses and staff at the famous cook county hospital in Chicago are shocked to learn of the hanging of Dr. Henry Mason.

O Elvis & Nixon

(86 mins., R)

Michael Shannon may not look like Elvis, and Kevin Spacey may only act like Richard Nixon, but Liza Johnson’s film about the day Tricky Dick met the King is strikingly convincing as a pseudo-historical document doubling as cinematic innovation.

From the credits on, we realize that the combination of satire and hipster throwback image making is something fresh. Johnson sets up a lot of straw dogs such as Nixon, Haldeman, and some pliable stewardesses to look like total squares and then transforms them into beautifully human characters. The film has masterful control — the colors, the stock footage, and even the props are droll in the happiest way. You might walk away liking Nixon. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo

O Everybody Wants Some!!

(117 mins., R)

Richard Linklater, last wowing the world with his Boyhood revelation, is up to more specialized tomfoolery with his deceptively party-timing college carnality flick. Here he progresses forward from his mid-’70s-era highschool-graduation classic Dazed and Confused (replete with kitschy cool period music, fashion, and hairdos — and don’ts) into three lost weekend-ish days before college, in a baseball team’s animal house off campus. As with many of his films, including his indie breakout wonder Slacker and Before Sunset trilogy, Linklater infuses sensual matters with heady asides, but here with a beersoaked, testosterone-io vibe that tells only part of the cinematic story. (JW)

Paseo Nuevo

Eye in the Sky (102 mins.; R) Top military officials — Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) and Lieutenant General Frank Benson (Alan Rickman) — grapple with the ethical and logistical issues surrounding drone warfare. Eye in the Sky offers a taut storyline that touches on the immense

power (and accompanying guilt and apprehension) that comes from being able to instigate acts of violence from the comfort of a boardroom.

It also boasts one of Rickman’s final performances, in which he shines quietly. (NC) Paseo Nuevo

dazzling effects and dour dwarves. The graphics are imaginative but unreal, the soundtrack swollen with undue portent, and the energy evoking wet snow, a coldly dull story of ice queens and wood spirits. At least Hemsworth is hot. (RD)

Francofonia (88 mins.; NR) An ode to the Louvre in Paris, this film tells of the Nazi occupation of the famed museum during WWII and meditates on the meaning of art.

Plaza De Oro Hello, My Name Is Doris (95 mins.; R) Inspired by a motivational speaker, Doris (Sally Field) decides to pursue a May-December romance.

Riviera A Hologram for the King (97 mins., R) Tom Hanks is back on the big screen in this dramedy based on Dave Eggers’s novel of the same name about a businessman who travels to Saudi Arabia to propose building a business complex in the middle of the desert.

Plaza De Oro

The Huntsman: Winter’s War (114 mins., PG-13)

Residing in the same genre of bloated and heavy-hearted action-fantasy as The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones and borrowing their formulae, this sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman is another attempt at reviving an old Disney story with an updated air of maturity. Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Freya (Emily Blunt) fight Ravenna (Charlize Theron) amid a swirl of

(105 mins.; PG)

Movies always ought to be this good, but it’s been such a long drought that this one seems like a miracle. The special effects astound; they are so good you take them for granted. But that’s not the best part. Disney’s newest version of The Jungle Book has a grand narrative sweep that never lets us down. It’s thrilling, sad, scary, funny, and finally intelligent enough to make the simple Promethean quest feel profound. Great celebrity voices such as Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, and Christopher Walken intrude like unexpected delights, camping up the fun. (DJP)

Miles Ahead (100 mins., R) Kudos go out to director/star/cowriter Don Cheadle for bringing the lore and sounds of the late, great Miles Davis to the big screen. Within a narrative jumping through time and fashion, from the late ’70s “missing years” through various points in the mad mosaic of a life, care is taken to represent the myriad shifts of Miles’s famously evolutionary musical voice, from the Gil Evans–timed “birth of the cool” to his mid-’60s quintet zenith (i.e.

“Nefertiti”) on to electric voodoo of Bitches Brew forward. Even so, the film also hits wrong notes, disrespecting the musical visionary beyond the drugs, swagger, and hoodlum hokum, giving rise to a lame gangster-ized stolen master tape subplot, and diminishing a potentially moving portrait of an indisputably great 20th-century artist.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of apRil 28 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The oracle I’m about to present may be controversial. It contains advice that most astrologers would never dare to offer an Aries. But I believe you are more receptive than usual to this challenge, and I am also convinced that you especially need it right now. Are you ready to be pushed further than I have ever pushed you? Study this quote from novelist Mark Z. Danielewski: “Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati.”

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You’re in a phase of your cycle when you’ll be rewarded for your freshness and originality. The more you cultivate a “beginner’s mind,” the smarter you will be. What you want will become more possible to the degree that you shed everything you think you know about what you want. As the artist Henri Matisse said, if a truly creative painter hopes to paint a rose, he or she “first has to forget all the roses that were ever painted.” What would be the equivalent type of forgetting in your own life?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Am I still a hero if the only person I save is myself?” asks poet B. Damani. If you posed that question to me right now, I would reply, “Yes, Gemini. You are still a hero if the only person you save is yourself.” If you asked me to elaborate, I’d say, “In fact, saving yourself is the only way you can be a hero right now. You can’t rescue or fix or rehabilitate anyone else unless and until you can rescue and fix and rehabilitate yourself.” If you pushed me to provide you with a hint about how you should approach this challenge, I’d be bold and finish with a flourish: “Now I dare you to be the kind of hero you have always feared was beyond your capacity.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible,” declares psycho-

therapist Thomas Moore. I agree. Our mental health thrives when we can have candid conversations with free spirits who don’t censor themselves and don’t expect us to water down what we say. This is always true, of course, but it will be an absolute necessity for you in the coming weeks. So I suggest that you do everything you can to put yourself in the company of curious minds that love to hear and tell the truth. Look for opportunities to express yourself with extra clarity and depth. “To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion,” says Moore, “but it involves courage and risk.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I watched a video of a helicopter pilot as he descended from the sky and tried to land his vehicle on the small deck of a Danish ship patrolling the North Sea. The weather was blustery and the seas were choppy. The task looked at best strenuous, at worst impossible. The pilot hovered patiently as the ship pitched wildly. Finally there was a brief calm, and he seized on that moment to settle down safely.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may have a metaphorically similar challenge in the coming days. To be successful, all you have to do is be alert for the brief calm, and then act with swift, relaxed decisiveness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Show me a man who isn’t a slave,” wrote the Roman philosopher Seneca. “One is a slave to sex, another to money, another to ambition; all are slaves to hope or fear.” Commenting on Seneca’s thought, blogger Ryan Holiday says,“I’m disappointed in my enslavement to self-doubt, to my resentment towards those that I dislike, to the power that the favor and approval of certain people hold over me.” What about you, Virgo? Are there any emotional states or bedeviling thoughts or addictive desires that you’re a slave to? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to emancipate yourself. As you do, remember this: There’s a difference between being compulsively driven by a delusion and lovingly devoted to a worthy goal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Everyone who has ever built a new heaven first found the power to do so in his own hell.” That noble truth was uttered by Libran philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, and I bet it will be especially meaningful for most of you during the rest of 2016.

The bad news is that in the past few months you’ve had to reconnoiter your own hell a little more than you would have liked, even if it has been pretty damn interesting. The good news is that these explorations will soon be winding down. The fantastic news is that you are already getting glimpses of how to use what you’ve been learning. You’ll be well-prepared when the time comes to start constructing a new heaven.

through the air. Milkweed seeds are a bit heavier but are easily carried by the wind. Foxglove and sycamore seeds are so buoyant they can float on flowing water.

Birds and other animals serve as transportation for burdock seeds, which hook onto feather and fur. Fruit seeds may be eaten by animals and later excreted, fully intact, far from their original homes. I hope this meditation stimulates you to think creatively about dispersing your own metaphorical seeds, Capricorn.

It’s time for you to vividly express your essence, make your mark, spread your influence.

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Zugzwang” is a German-derived word used in chess and other games. It refers to a predicament in which a player cannot possibly make a good move. Every available option will weaken his or her position. I propose that we coin a new word that means the opposite of zugzwang: “zugfrei,” which shall hereafter signify a situation in which every choice you have in front of you is a positive or constructive one; you cannot make a wrong move. I think this captures the essence of the coming days for you, Scorpio.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “It is a fault to wish to be understood before we have made ourselves clear to ourselves,” said philosopher Simone Weil. I hope that prod makes you feel a bit uncomfortable, Aquarius. I hope it motivates you to get busy investigating some of your vague ideas and fuzzy self-images and confused intentions. It will soon be high time for you to ask for more empathy and acknowledgment from those whose opinions matter to you. You’re overdue to be more appreciated, to be seen for who you really are. But before any of that good stuff can happen, you will have to engage in a flurry of introspection. You’ve got to clarify and deepen your relationship with yourself.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We have to learn how to live with our frailties,” poet Stanley Kunitz told the Paris Review. “The best people I know are inadequate and unashamed.” That’s the keynote I hope you will adopt in the coming weeks. No matter how strong and capable you are, no matter how hard you try to be your best, there are ways you fall short of perfection.

And now is a special phase of your astrological cycle when you can learn a lot about how to feel at peace with that fact.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education,” said writer Mark Twain.

That’s excellent advice for you to apply and explore in the coming weeks. Much of the time, the knowledge you have accumulated and the skills you have developed are supreme assets. But for the immediate future, they could obstruct you from learning the lessons you need most. For instance, they might trick you into thinking you are smarter than you really are. Or they could cause you to miss simple and seemingly obvious truths that your sophisticated perspective is too proud to notice. Be a humble student, my dear.

SCORPIO

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How do plants reproduce? They generate seeds that are designed to travel. Dandelion and orchid seeds are so light they can drift long distances

VILLA NO: 16PR00107 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of FRANCES E. VILLA A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: KIRI JULIA MARIA VILLA in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA BARBARA THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that KIRI JULIA MARIA VILLA be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

1. Don’t automatically remove the wildlife from your yard: It’s perfectly normal to see possums, skunks, and raccoons in our backyards. Trapping and relocating is also not the answer—if you move out wild animals from your yard, you are basically putting up a “for rent” sign showing that no one is living there. Other animals will eventually move in. Instead, be patient. Most wild animals are nomadic and will move on.

2. Wait until the fall to paint your home: Even though we think “spring cleaning” is a good time to spruce up, the WCN urges people to wait until the fall to paint the outside of homes. Otherwise, you may disturb mud nests made by swallows, which are illegal to remove if they contain eggs or babies. So do it in early February or the end of summer.

3. Don’t drastically trim trees: The WCN takes in many baby birds each year that are orphaned when their nest is cut from a tree. If you accidentally knock a nest out of a tree, the Humane Society suggests that you should

Not only does 2368 Whitney have an enviable ocean view from its front yard, but it also has an arguably even more gorgeous vista out its back door. On this particular afternoon, the yellowmustard-grass-covered hillside beyond the bright putting green in the backyard against the brilliant blue sky above created a Wizard of Oz Technicolor backdrop. Being at the top of the hill certainly has its advantages, and this home makes the most of it.

Against this rainbow of scenery, the house itself is sleek and understated.

It has clean, contemporary lines and a timeless design, aptly allowing the setting to steal the show. I walked up to its front door, knowing that I had reached a special place.

In talking about this home that he has extensively remodeled over the past two years, builder and owner Phillip Coombs calls it a “reasonably smart” house. When

5. Take care of your lawn and garden with wildlife in mind: Check your lawn for turtles and rabbit nests before you mow.

Move turtles gently, but rabbit nests should be left alone. Keep your lawn grub-free, and you will prevent raccoons, skunks, and opossums from tearing it up to feast on them. To keep animals out of your garden, erect a chickenwire fence at least 36˝ above the ground and 12˝ below the ground.You can also place mesh cages over young plants. Motion-activated noisemakers (available from garden centers), owl decoys, and pinwheels can also be effective.

Our landlord assured us that he would take every precaution to not disturb the wildlife around our home. Thankfully, we returned from our trip to find the mother bird was still sitting happily on her nest of eggs. While everything worked out okay in the end, it would have been better had our landlord waited until the fall for any home improvements.

Here are some other tips for living in harmony with our wild animal friends, as advised by the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network (WCN). See sbwcn.org. sbwcn.org

4. Clean up food: To prevent wild animals from being attracted to your yard, keep garbage lids secured, or store bins in the garage, especially overnight. Don’t leave pet food or water bowls outside, and be sure to clean below bird feeders, as seeds can attract scavengers such as raccoons and skunks. Pick up fruit as soon as it has fallen from any fruit trees.

pressed for details, he mentions the Sonos sound system, the Nest heating, and the biofuel fireplace in the living room. He almost lost me with the wall-mounted iPad mag-induction charging station, but he brought me back to attention when he explained that you can turn on the heat with your cell phone while you’re still in bed. The kitchen features Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances in a very compact, colorful, open space. The stainless-steel slab countertops seem to embody the home’s overall personality. Beautiful, functional and understated, they highlight the features around them rather than drawing attention to themselves.

The entire home is very low maintenance. Synthetic materials such as rocks in the front garden and the artificial turf in the back provide carefree style.

Coombs points out that because the putting green’s fully functional fivehole surface is flat and walkable, it’s great for parties, and, of course, it’s always green. So it’s extremely utilitarian, whether or not it gets a whole lot of use for actual golf.

The house has three bedrooms and two baths, all offering serene, comfortable spaces. The master bedroom, however, definitely steals the show, with a big corner fireplace and doors opening up onto a deck overlooking the backyard and the hillside beyond.

Coombs spent many years of developing homes elsewhere, and this is the third Summerland house that he has built or renovated in the past four years, including one right across the street on the same block of Whitney Avenue.

When asked what was most special about this project, Coombs said he was excited to have the opportunity to work with a flat lot with big vistas. He points out that the house is really just a modernized beach cottage with good light.

As I drive away, however, I swear I can hear the lower houses whispering with envy. It’s not just the location of 2368 Whitney but the tranquil contemporary retreat itself. It embodies the feel of Summerland and the views of the ocean and surrounding mountains but emanates a serene style all its own.

land on a recent Sunday, I found myself marveling at the variety of architecture in the homes I passed by. Vivid Victorians in their dramatic hues mixed with Cape Cod beach houses and rustic cabins. There’s no shortage of style in Summerland’s abodes, and no singular theme dominates. I imagined the houses jostling for attention, preening on the hillsides.

Who’s the fairest of them all? And, of course, who has the best view?

The higher I drove, the quieter my imagined jostling became. Since prime position is at the top of the hill, the houses perched on the uppermost streets preside quietly over the rest of the town. They don’t have to brag about their beauty or that of the view; their location speaks for itself.

A

few weeks ago, my family and I headed out of town for spring break.

While we were gone, our landlord informed us that he would be doing some improvements to our home, including painting the outside.

While our house was in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint, I cautioned him that springtime isn’t the optimal time for home improvements. For one, I knew that there was a mother bird sitting on a nest of eggs right under our eaves. And the side of our house had overgrown bushes that could be housing baby rabbits.

6. Check access points: Check your deck, eaves, overhangs, vents, and even cracks around windows, and block or screen off any entry points that allow wildlife access.

Bats can squeeze through openings a halfinch wide. Do not patch holes between May and September, or you may trap young bats inside. Verify that your chimney is empty and then make sure it is capped. Small animals can access buildings through holes as little as one-inch wide, so be sure to seal any holes with heavyweight material (hardware cloth or heavy-gauge screening) or steel wool. Wire mesh can also be used to plug openings in walls and floors.

As suburban sprawl continues to displace wild animals, encounters with humans are inevitable, and that’s only grown with the drought. But many of these situations can be avoided with a little effort and planning. The bottom line is that all of us need to do our best to live in harmony with wildlife. n

That Keeps On Giving WaTer-SaVinG TiP OF THe WeeK

Max Out the efficiency of Water Softeners T

he water savings of units that

soften hard water can depend on a number of factors: Santa Barbara’s water hardness ranges from 20-25 grains per gallon. Try setting your water softener to 20 grains per gallon.

If it needs to be softer, try 21 grains per gallon. Too high a setting means more water is needed to wash off soap. Set the cycle for efficiency that corresponds to how much water is used. Replace a time-clock-controlled water softener with a demand-initiated regeneration (DIR) water softener. These only run while water is in use and save water, energy, and maintenance. Retrofit DIR Controllers are available to easily convert time-clock-controlled models. Look for WaterSense and Energy Star models for replacements.  Switch from sodium chloride to potassium chloride. Sodium causes problems during the wastewater treatment process and increases the salinity of recycled water used for irrigation.

here’s some big news in our

Santa Barbara gardening community. Jane Buchanan, past president and cochair of the Centennial Committee of The Garden Club of Santa Barbara, tipped me off to the fact that the club will be celebrating a milestone birthday. I did the math and confirmed that the garden club, which was founded in 1926, will indeed be 90 years old this year.

In commemoration, on April 4 the garden club gifted two major gardens to the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (SBBG). Buchanan told me that The Children’s Centennial Maze, the first of its kind in Santa Barbara, and the historic Wooded Dell garden exemplify the club’s long history of community giving in the fields of horticulture, conservation, education, and beautification. A mayoral proclamation was presented to club members, followed by remarks from Dr. Steve Windhager, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden director, on the garden’s 90-year shared history with the garden club. Members were treated to tours of the two new gardens.

Buchanan also explained that The Children’s Centennial Maze was designed by artist and Garden Club member Lenore Hughes. Planted in the shape of a cloverleaf with approximately 250 Baccharis pilularis ssp. consanguinea, which is our local native coyote brush, the garden invites young

children to play, explore, and discover nature’s surprises. The garden is the gateway component to the new Backcountry Adventure children’s area.

The Wooded Dell garden, adjacent to the Lockwood de Forest/Campbell Bench and Trail, is planted with a diversity of native species including iris, heuchera, salvia, ribes, rhus, rhamnus, quercus, cercis, ceanothus, heteromeles, and woodwardia, among others. Subtle design elements keep with the historic intent and invite the visitor to pause and reflect on nature’s horticultural richness. Both gardens were planted by Garden Club and Botanic Garden staff members under the direction of SBBG Director of Horticulture Betsy Collins and arborist Bruce Reed.

The maze was completed in one day, while the dell, with more than 400 native plants, was completed in separate planting sessions during a threemonth period. The entire planning process was accomplished in two years, with Centennial Committee members and the SBBG horticulture team collaborating on the garden’s designs and plant selections.

These and all the gardens can be viewed during regular SBBG hours. A special celebration for the Botanic Garden’s 90th birthday called Cultivating the Wild: Native Gardens Tour will be held on Sunday, May 1. For information, see sbbg.org. n

by Dennis Allen With our changing climate bringing ever-increasing and severe storms, floods, and droughts — droughts with their concomitant wildfires — citizens are searching for ways to better prepare for and adapt to these growing dangers. Central to this is how our buildings can withstand and recover more rapidly from these disruptions. Even earthquakes, an ever-present threat, are increasing in frequency and intensity due to newer techniques of fossil fuel extraction, fracking being the most widely studied.

Any of these events can cause disruption of water, gas, and power services — for briefer or longer periods.

Interestingly, good green building practices are exactly those that help us through these periods of havoc. Creating a high-efficiency building envelope together with passive solar heating and cooling buffers us from weather extremes. On-site rainwater collection,

his Queen Anne Victorian was designed and built by Thomas Nixon for the family of George Edwards, a prominent banker, businessman, and civic leader who occupied the house for 37 years. It is only one of a handful constructed by Nixon that has remained intact.

A native of Nova Scotia, Nixon emigrated to the U.S. and put down roots in Santa Barbara with his wife and four daughters. He worked as a carpenter and designer, and dabbled in several ventures, including a lumberyard and sawmill with his partner/manager Oscar Boeseke.

Nixon’s architectural structure and composition were similar to those of his counterpart, architect Peter J. Barber. In addition, Nixon chose to take his design process to the next level by custom designing the interiors with personalized furniture, cabinetry, and intricate woodwork adapted from his association with his lumber-mill investment. He developed an excellent reputation for his interior wood finishes and built homes for several prominent citizens of early Santa Barbara, including Clinton Bennett Hale, W.M. Eddy, and Judge Canfield.

For this well-proportioned, more than 3,100-square-foot home, it has recently undergone an extensive renovation by the design and build team at Art and Elements and is being honored as a City Landmark by the Santa Barbara Historic Landmarks Commission. It is currently available for sale through Prestigious Properties and Paul Hurst and Ashley Anderson of the Berkshire Hathaway real estate office with a current list price n of $2,950,000.

solar water heating, and photovoltaic power generation can provide us with water and power when utilities go out.

Changes in our California building codes now require buildings to be constructed to a high seismic standard, but older homes need upgrading. Installing better and more closely spaced foundation tie-downs, bracing of under house cripple walls, using steel framing connectors at strategic joints, and bracing brick fireplaces are usually easy and cost-effective steps to keep a structure from jumping off its foundation (a total loss when it occurs) and to lessen the risk of serious injury or even death.

Fires often accompany earthquakes.

Thus another precautionary step is to install an earthquake-actuated, automatic gas shutoff valve (costs about $150). These suggestions, as well as the ones below, although not strictly green, are considered best building practices.

Measures to decrease risk from wildfires include enclosing undersides of eaves, using noncombustible roof roofing and siding materials or, at least, intumescent (fire resistant) paint on vulnerable areas, creating cleared zones around buildings, regularly cleaning debris from gutters, and replacing vents with fire-rated ones to prevent entry of flames or burning embers into attic or under-house crawl spaces.

Mitigating steps for big windstorms are using hurricane straps to strengthen connections between roof and walls, and walls and foundation (also useful for earthquakes), and installing impact-resistant doors and windows or sturdy operable shutters.

The best one can do to prepare for floods or landslides is to create distinct storm-water channels around and away from dwellings, while landscaping and mulching heavily, especially on upslope areas, to reduce runoff and better hold soils in place.

All of the above measures give multiple benefits, plus make good sense from an economic, environmental, and survival perspective.
