The Zurich-born, Burlingame-raised Tri Delta sorority veep, who’s majoring in poli-sci with another minor in theater, has since interviewed business owners, authors, politicians, TV celebrities, and chefs.“As a student living in the small bubble that is Isla Vista,” she explained, “it is amazing to pop that bubble and enter the professional world of Santa Barbara.” Check out her work at independent.com/sydnee.

Pierre Haobsh, 26, pleaded not guilty on 5/8 in Judge Clifford Anderson’s courtroom to the fatal shooting deaths of prominent herbalist Dr. Weidong “Henry” Han, 57; Han’s wife, Huijie “Jennie” Yu, 29; and their daughter, Emily Han, 5. The Oceanside man faces three counts of first-degree murder and two special-circumstance allegations — murder for financial gain and committing multiple murders. Represented by deputy public defender Christine Voss, Haobsh returns to court 5/24 in Judge Brian Hill’s courtroom.

Maria Christina Johnson was arrested 4/28 at a high-end Santa Barbara hotel for alleged identity theft and credit card fraud.

BIG SELL: Realtor Kerry Mormann stands at Naples, overlooking Dos Pueblos and, farther up the coast, Las Varas. The combined asking price for all three is nearly $200 million.

Gaviota Ranches Up for sale

For the first time in half a century, three oceanfront parcels once part of the greater, historic Rancho Dos Pueblos are for sale at the same time. Joining Las Varas ranch and the centerpiece Dos Pueblos property, both of which have been active of late, the hotly contested Naples property on the south side of Highway 101 hit the market on May 12. Combined, the three properties border four miles of beach, from Naples Point to El Capitan. The Doheny family’s 1,800-acre Las Varas property is listed at $108 million; the Schulte family is asking $50 million for their 214-acre Dos Pueblos holding; and the 222acre Naples property, owned by Arcadia-based Standard Portfolios, is listed for almost $40 million.

While all three properties are zoned for agriculture, the development potential of Naples — based on historic township maps — produced a court battle that stretches back 25 years. Now, generally speaking, the newly listed property holds 17 approved developable parcels that will likely face heavy scrutiny if and when development applications go before the California Coastal Commission.

“This is sacred land, and my dream is to find a conservation-minded buyer who can put the heart of Dos Pueblos back together again,” said realtor Kerry Mormann, who holds all three listings. Mormann added that when done right, conservation easements can provide substantial tax benefits. While he is legally obligated to present all offers to the sellers, Mormann said he’s discouraging “unreasonable uses that will be extremely difficult” to get approval, such as a 100,000-square-foot castle or a 50-bungalow wellness retreat, both of which were mentioned by prospective buyers in the past along the Gaviota Coast.

“We would want a conservation easement and/or an agricultural easement, appropriate public access to the beach — which at Naples means a trail across the bluff — habitat restoration, and limited residential development that’s appropriately sited and constructed,” said Phil McKenna of the Gaviota Coast Conservancy. “If a buyer comes along who meets those qualities — really, a preservationist at heart — I think the community — Keith Hamm could work with someone like that.”

trict Attorney’s Office will review the case, in which authorities are recommending a felony hit-and-run charge.

CouNty In its foreseeable future, the Montecito Events Center will transform into an offshoot of Hollywood’s famed nightclub The Magic Castle, announced club founder Milt Larsen, who recently purchased the 30 Los Patos Way property for $2.35 million with his wife, Arlene Larsen. For now, the Montecito Events Center — whose 11,761-square-foot lot housed Café del Sol for nearly 50 years and, briefly, Warren B’s event center — will keep hosting parties that overlook the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge.

Joe’s, Costco, and Safeway are among the stores affected. The items belong to brands including Organic by Nature, Wellsley Farms, True Goodness, and Live Smart. The force driving international recalls is a Listeria contamination scare, which the Centers for Disease Control says sickened eight people (two died in Washington and Maryland) in the past three years.

Micheltorena Bike Lane Loses Ground

hile no vote was officially taken, a majority of the Santa Barbara City planning commissioners expressed strong verbal support last Thursday for creating a major new east-west bicycle thoroughfare along Sola Street, as opposed to Micheltorena Street. The vote — 4-1 with one absence and one abstention due to conflict of interest — marks a major reversal from when the Planning Commission voted 6-1 last December in favor of the Micheltorena Street option.

However, that was before residents, business owners, and property owners along the five-block stretch of Micheltorena came unglued at the prospect of losing 85-100 on-street parking spaces to the new bike lanes, formed the GET ’ER DONE: Bicycle commuters have long sought an Micheltorena Neighborhood Association, and notified City Hall they would east-west route through the city. sue if need be.

aura’s Law, it should be stressed, does not give the judges power to lock up any of these individuals, force them to take their medications, or place them in any restraints. Laura’s Law supporters refer to what’s known as “the Black Robe effect,” referring to the seemingly magical authority of judicial focus and attention that moves the most service resistant into therapeutic compliance. Laura’s Law does not, however, give the court authority to sentence those who refuse to cooperate to jail. For them, there is no sanction other than the renewed efforts of mental-health professionals.

Leading the charge on behalf of Laura’s Law — other than advocates with organizations such as Families ACT, NAMI, and the Santa Barbara County Mental Health Commission—was County Supervisor Doreen Farr, whose adult son’s struggles have been the subject of recent news articles. Joining her were supervisors Steve Lavagnino and Salud Carbajal. Leading the charge against were Supervisor Janet Wolf and Peter Adam, though Adam voted for the initiative—without explanation—after arguing vociferously against it.

But it fell to Alice Gleghorn, one year into her job as new director of Behavioral Wellness, to provide most of the arguments against the pilot program. While expressing sympathy for families struggling to find help for acutely mentally ill relatives, Gleghorn noted that many new programs, dollars, and resources have been marshaled into the fight against mental illness since California voters approved Laura’s Law in 2002.

Millions, for example, have been raised by a

the patient in question to accept the treatment that’s offered. Gleghorn must make nine findings before filing such a petition, chiefly that the patient has been hospitalized or incarcerated at least two times in the prior 36 months and has been clinically deemed to be “unlikely to survive safely in the community without supervision.” Any number of people have standing to petition Gleghorn’s department, including friends, relatives, and police officers, not to mention mental-health case workers.

special tax imposed on millionaires passed by voters in order to fund Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams that target the frequent fliers. Gleghorn argued that the “efficacy” of Laura’s Law was in much dispute, and she cited a handful of scholarly articles that concluded Laura’s Law has no appreciable impact on the number of mentally ill who are hospitalized, incarcerated, or homeless, when “randomized” statistical methodologies are deployed.

What does work, Gleghorn insisted, are the well-funded ACT teams reaching out to the mentally ill and providing the “whatever it takes” range of services. Santa Barbara County, she acknowledged, has been slow to achieve “whatever it takes” firepower, but is almost there. Laura’s Law, she contended, is expensive to implement, and those resources could be spent more effectively on programs like ACT. She noted that only one of the 270 clients identified by the Laura’s Law program enacted by Los Angeles County has ever been before a judge.

How much impact, she wondered, could the judicial component possibly have?

T

om Franklin was not swayed. “They don’t get it,” he spat during an interview before Tuesday’s meeting.

“They could put a mental-health clinic on every single corner, and my family member would not walk in the door,” he argued.“He doesn’t think he’s sick. Why would he?” If Laura’s Law is so ineffectual, Franklin and many others questioned, why have 46 states passed their own versions? Why have nine counties—including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and most recently Ventura and San Luis Obispo—embraced Laura’s Law? Why did the federal government just announce it would fund Laura’s Law–style grants to the tune of $53 million? L.A. County, by the way, reported a 78 percent drop in incarcerations and an 86 percent reduction in hospitalizations among participants of its Laura’s Law program.“You really think L.A., San Francisco, and Orange County didn’t do their due diligence?” a theatrically incredulous Franklin asked the supervisors. “Santa Barbara knows better?” cont’d page 14 

dispensary ispensary survives Weed Whackers Council Denies Final Appeal of New Milpas Street Cannabis Club

I

by T y l e R h ay d e N t was, as Mayor Helene Schneider put it, “an intense but important discussion” that dominated this Tuesday’s City Council meeting when a medical marijuana dispensary destined for lower Milpas Street barely survived being smothered in its crib by throngs of critics and three of Santa Barbara’s councilmembers.

Given the public backlash, mainly from Eastside Latino families and church members, Schneider advised dispensary operator and Los Angeles transplant Ryan Howe to make community relations his top priority. “Not being seen as an ‘other’ is imperative,” she said.

More than one member of the council also remarked on the full-circle sensation generated by the hearing, as City Hall for the last decade has navigated — and at times stumbled — through the murky waters of medical marijuana laws.

Howe’s club, to be called Canopy, will be one of the first to open in more than four years after Santa Barbara’s once flourishing storefront landscape withered under a series of federal crackdowns in the spring of 2012. Another new, fully permitted collective is set to open on upper State Street in coming months.

Tuesday marked the second appeal of Canopy after the Planning Commission upheld its prior approval last month. Led by neighbor Pete Dal Bello, whose family owns a home and two businesses near the 118 North Milpas Street storefront, the opposition voiced oft-heard refrains around medical marijuana dispensaries — that they eat up precious on-street

parking, attract criminals to the neighborhood, and tempt curious kids passing by. Father Pedro Lopez of nearby Our Lady of Guadalupe Church told the council he works hard to keep his congregation safe from corruption and crime. “This facility would compromise that greatly,” he stated.

“History speaks volumes,” said Martha Jimez, referring to five former dispensaries targeted by robbers. “Please don’t let us live through this again. … Do what’s right,” she implored with the opposition’s slogan, “find another site.” Other speakers cited an Eastside neighborhood petition with nearly 200 signatures that demanded the dispensary be moved to another part of the city, like the West Pueblo Street medical center near Cottage Hospital. Pointing to Casa Esperanza, MarBorg, and El Estero, they said the Eastside has too long been the dumping ground for the city’s more smelly and dangerous features.

Anna Rico said she was worried for her son, who passes the Milpas location every day to and from school, and for her Spanish-speaking neighbors, who have little understanding of how a medical marijuana collective operates. They see the club as nothing more than the purveyor of an illegal drug, she said. Abbey Fragosa lived next to the Humanity dispensary on Bond Avenue from 2006-2010. She took issue with claims that dispensaries don’t generate crime, explaining she was the victim of many “negative and frightening” confrontations with Humanity patients. “No amount of scientific studies can represent the fear cont’d page 15  I experienced,” she said.

TECHNOLOGY JOB FAIR TOE-TO-TOE: Assemblymember Das Williams (right) and County Investment Officer Jennifer Christensen (left) trade talking points at a recent debate.

Who’s on 1st?

Supervisor Race Pits Political Vet Williams Against Newcomer Christensen

L

by k e l s e y b R U G G e R

ast April, prominent Democratic Assemblymember Das Williams announced he would run for county supervisor just days after Salud Carbajal, current 1st District supervisor, declared his candidacy for Congress. It was not until six months later that Jennifer Christensen, the county’s investment officer, emerged as his sole contender.

At face value, the race between Williams and Christensen could not be more of a mismatch. Williams is a high-profile Democratic politician who grew up in Ojai, Isla Vista, and Santa Barbara before entering the public eye at age 29, when he ran for Santa Barbara City Council. He’s been raising money since announcing—with considerable support from several unions and tribal governments — and outpaces Christensen with $341,200 on hand.

But Christensen, a largely unknown independent voter, has raised enough money to penetrate the airwaves in recent weeks; she’s spent $164,000 this year and still has another $112,500 left. Her TV ads champion a message of fiscal restraint and accountability as she has worked for the County Counsel and the Auditor-Controller’s office for the past 15 years.

To the extent she can tackle Williams—a serious political fighter—Christensen has taken him to task for always looking for a greener political seat, playing on the current political atmosphere that certainly favors outsiders.

But pundits emphasize the science in political science. Democrats have a stronghold on the 1st District — made up of Santa Barbara, Montecito, Carpinteria, and Cuyama. Of its 41,900 registered voters, nearly 48 percent are registered Democrats, and 22 percent are registered Republicans; 24 percent are registered no party preference, but most lean Democrat.

In fact, the 1st District bleeds so green it was the only supervisorial district to approve Measure P, the controversial ban on unconventional oil drilling (fracking, cyclic steam injection, etc.) that was shot down by 62 percent of voters countywide. Many Democrats

and environmentalists lingered before backing Measure P, but Williams led the charge and functioned as campaign crusader.

Regardless of the outcome of the 1st District race, the election symbolizes the end of an era in county politics: Carbajal, who has held the seat for three terms after a decade as the chief of staff for former 1st District supervisor Naomi Schwartz, is stepping down. Though the two have had a complicated political friendship over the years, Carbajal endorsed Williams.

Williams, 41, who terms out of the Assembly this year, had recently moved to Carpinteria, and he and his wife had a baby girl last September. A progressive Democrat who was first elected to the Santa Barbara City Council in 2003, Williams is regarded as hardworking, creative, ambitious, and, critics contend, annoyingly opportunistic. Before he had even completed his first City Council term, Williams ran for 2nd District supervisor and lost to Janet Wolf, who currently represents the district. (Wolf, incidentally, just endorsed him.)

Because Williams is backed by the Democratic Party and has high name recognition — he said his polling indicates 85 percent of people in the district know him—some Republicans question Christensen’s ability to beat him. However, Dan Secord, a doctor and former county supervisorial candidate, said he believes Christensen has a good chance.

“She doesn’t owe anybody anything,” he said. Electing Williams as a supervisor, Secord argued, is not in the best interest of the county. Former unsuccessful City Council candidate Sharon Bryne is running Christensen’s campaign.

A fifth-generation Californian from the Los Angeles area, Jennifer Christensen, 43, moved to Santa Barbara County in 2001, when former county counsel Shane Stark hired her for an entry-level position. Stark recalled she was smart, funny, ambitious, and feisty at times. Christensen, who has a law degree and MBA from USC, went on to work for the Auditor-Controller’s office before becoming the investment officer three years ago. cont’d page 15 

time to wait. The time is now. Let’s move forward.” Supervisor Janet Wolf said she was “astonished” that only one L.A. Laura’s Law client had been before a judge and expressed concern the pilot program would not be “the panacea” its supporters are hoping for and that it would imbue them with “false expectations.”

As for Tom Franklin, his family member is still in jail and still has a long road ahead of him. If Laura’s Law existed six years ago when his family member’s mental-health troubles started, Franklin suggested, maybe the outcome would have been different.

“Maybe an ACT team would have shown up, and maybe a judge would have to be called in,” he said. “All I know is that every day this board puts off Laura’s Law is another day there’s going to be a case just like mine.” n pau l we ll m a n fi l e photo

He was equally incredulous county bean counters hadn’t calculated the savings that would accrue to the Sheriff’s department, the jail, the District Attorney, and the Public Defender because of Laura’s Law. These departments, he predicted, would experience a drop in caseload because the frequent fliers—who typically rotate from jail to the streets to emergency rooms and back to Behavioral Wellness — would be reduced.

Why aren’t those savings, he questioned, calibrated against the costs associated with the new program?

With primary election ballots in the mail this week, here’s a snapshot of the tri-county voter makeup: In Santa Barbara County, as of mid-April, 2,689 more Democrats registered to vote whereas 728 Republicans registered to vote since January, bringing the totals to 79,230 and 56,862, respectively. In San Luis Obispo, 2,341 more Democrats registered to vote and 1,608 more Republicans registered, making the totals 50,553 and 59,391, respectively. In Ventura (where a small portion of residents vote in the 24th Congressional District), 51 more Democrats and 20 fewer Republicans registered to vote since January.

About 23 percent of voters in the entire district decline to state a party preference.

Tony Strickland (pictured), who from 19982004 represented the 37th Assembly District, has been accused by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) of laundering money to fund his failed campaign for state controller. He’s facing up to $80,000 in fines from the watchdog agency, who alleges Strickland in 2010 worked with the Ventura County Republican Party and the Stanislaus County Republican Party to illegally move $65,000 from three people directly into his campaign coffers. The FPPC votes 5/19 on the case. n

She is seeking to move to the other side of the dais, she said, because Williams’s candidacy gave her “reason for concern about our county finances — even more than I had before.” Christensen further contended Williams’s contributed to the near depletion of city’s reserves mostly due to salary and benefit increases. “We can’t afford that kind of decision making,” she said.

For his part, Williams argues the council balanced the budget in the midst of the Great Recession — while protecting fire, police, and youth programs. “That’s what reserves are for,” he said. Williams has been generously backed by unions his entire political career, a fact his critics have emphasized.

Christensen also cites the county’s $1 billion in unfunded liabilities, including $700 million in pensions and $350 million in roads, parks, and facilities maintenance backlog, as motivating her decision.

Democrats suggest über-conservative — and maintenance crusader — 4th District Supervisor Peter Adam encouraged Christensen to get in the race, which Christensen adamantly denies.“It’s kind of offensive to not be treated as someone who is a capable independent woman who makes decisions on her own,” she said. “Especially one who frankly knows more about the finances than the county supervisors, including Peter.” Adam’s family business, Adam Brothers Farming, donated $9,000 to her campaign.

Christensen was elected to the county’s employee retirement system board, and she serves on the city’s Fire and Police Commission. “Public safety is near and dear to my heart,” she said at a recent forum. Her husband, Conn Abel, is a 34-year retired sheriff’s deputy and Thomas Guerry Award recipient who worked in every substation in Santa Barbara County.

R

esonating with many 1st District voters, Christensen points out Williams opened an account titled Senate 2020, a fact he has had to address multiple times in recent weeks. Christensen charges Williams’s entire expertise is as an elected official, generating anger among those who believe he will skip town after just one term.

Williams responded the reason he opened the committee — which had $42,500 in it and is now empty — was to raise money for his political allies “so I am not using local people’s money” to elect Democrats across the state.

At a Montecito Association–sponsored debate last Friday, Williams said he would have opened an account titled Senate 2016, but State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (who is running for reelection) felt uncomfortable with that. In an interview, Jackson acknowledged the issue could confuse people, but said she thought “the public just shouldn’t make too much of this.”

Jackson, known to be Williams’s key political mentor and personal friend, said, “He certainly knows the issues.” She said his legislation has focused on local issues, and that for Williams, as a new dad, “It’s not easy to leave your family on a Sunday night.”

Who’s on 1st? cont’d from p. 13

Asked if he plans to run for higher office, Williams said,“I’m sure someday I will want to broaden my ability to affect change. But right now there are so many things that are happening at the county level that directly relate to work that I was doing at the state.”

Supporter and Montecito Planning Commissioner J’Amy Brown added, “My guess is he can get more done at four years on the job than most people can get done in eight.” Others contend it takes years for the supervisors to get acclimated to many issues.

O

ne topic that recently formed a wedge between Williams and Christensen was the controversial Highway 101 widening project. Williams contended the project needed to move on.

“Is it perfect?” he asked. “No.” He called it “unproductive to delay the inevitable” as “tens of thousands of people are sitting in traffic.” He added just two people on SBCAG (Santa Barbara County Association of Governments) voted against the project.

Christensen — who received about $30,000 from freeway-widening opponents Bob Short and Ron Pulice — noted a judge recently ruled the analysis of street congestion that would be inflicted on several Santa Barbara city intersections caused by the additional freeway was inadequate.

Caltrans, she charged, failed in part to abide by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).“Caltrans and SBCAG missed a major opportunity with the alternative studies and plans” and instead approved a plan that was not affordable, legally sound, or well designed.

Williams shot back: “Will we get anything better through the CEQA lawsuit?”

He then said, we needed to “get on with it.”

On vacation rentals, Williams argued the county should not go as far as an outright ban.“We should minimize it in places where it competes with housing stock and permanent rentals.” Christensen noted cities are left to institute their own policies.

Asked what grade they would give county supervisors’ performances, Williams gave them an A- to B+. Christensen said C+. She objected to the supervisors’ deciding (on a 4-1 vote) to give most county employees —“of which I am one, by the way”— four paid vacation days during the week between Christmas and New Year’s, costing, she claimed, $6 million. Williams objected that the funds were not discretionary to spend on other things. Contacted after the debate, budget director Tom Alvarez said it’s not really a financial issue as the county was planning to pay everyone those days. However, he said,“You have the productivity cost.”

To the extent he could adjust his Sacramento experience to the county level, Williams said he would look to fix an ordinance that — due to “bureaucratic inertia” — limits solar in the Cuyama Valley.

Ultimately, it’s Williams’s race to lose.

County insiders — even those who tend to agree with him — question whether his political brashness will play out every Tuesday on the 4th floor of the County Adminn istration Building.

Bill Moyers Discusses Injustice and Politics Ahead of Santa Barbara Visit

hen he makes up his mind, he lands hard on his conclusions,” a New York Times reporter once wrote about Bill Moyers, the 81-year-old, award-gobbling elder statesman of progressive journalism. It’s true that, via his PBS programs, Moyers has been waging a soft-spoken jeremiad against powerful interests and sold-out politicians for decades. It’s tempting to describe Moyers, a graduate of Baptist seminary, as a preacher. Or to get downright biblical and call him a prodigal son who had his come-to-Jesus moment during a press briefing when he was President Johnson’s spin doctor-in-chief. A reporter was pressing him with a question, the answer to which might tank the stock market. Recalling his father’s admonition not to lie, Moyers said that right then, “I decided I belonged on the other side of the desk, asking the questions.”

Those narratives may be accurate as far as they go. But in conversation, Moyers revealed himself to be neither righteous nor all-consumed with speaking truth to power. He showed great willingness to question his own approach to the craft of journalism.

The most important thing, he said, that he learned from one of his favorite interview subjects, mythologist Joseph Campbell, is, “If you want to change the world, change the metaphor. Change the story.” Below is a condensed version of the story Moyers shared in an interview conducted via email and telephone. On Wednesday, May 18, he will give a talk entitled “Coming in November: Armageddon, Apocalypse, or Rapture?” at the Granada Theatre as a guest of the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion, and Public Life at UCSB. One way to describe you is as a professional conversationalist. Can you offer a couple of tips for nurturing a productive conversation? Listen closely. My challenge as a journalist is not to produce a “gotcha moment” but to help my guests get over the fear of saying what they really want to say.

I didn’t talk much as a kid, but I sure listened a lot. We were poor, lived in a small two-bedroom house on the corner of the street. I could hear my mother talking to our landlord, Mrs. Platt, across the back fence. At twilight we sat in the swing on the front porch and listened to passersby. After dark, in bed, I entertained myself trying to decode the murmurs of people walking home from the movies or some party up the street. On Saturdays I would go down to the courthouse square and listen to white farmers on one side of the square selling their goods and catching up on the news, and on the other side, black farmers swapping stories about the weather and the latest funeral. I learned right there the meaning of the term “the public square.” Their voices are embedded in my head.

On television, you come across as avuncular, but you are often motivated by anger about war or injustice or the environment, to name a few topics. In your off-screen life, do you ever just need to go hit a punching bag? My arthritic hands don’t allow me such pleasure, so I usually take it out on my teeth and now have to wear a night brace to prevent grinding them. But listen, some things are worth getting mad about. Don’t you get mad about how our economy is rigged to favor the one-tenth of the one percent? Don’t you feel a flush

cenary for hire — a white-shoe lawyer — by big corporations. He was put there to protect business, just as Taney’s mandate was to protect white supremacy.

Where is there hope for our democracy? In the same place where change always comes from: uprisings of Americans outraged at injustice, who know they are only going to have better lives and a better country if they put themselves on the line.

Abolitionists once upon a time and the civil rights movement in my time. Those brave men and women, most of them young, who took on white supremacy. Populist farmers who rose up against the railroad monopolies and overweening banks in the last decades of the 19th century. Suffragettes who went to jail for the vote. Workers marching and striking for a living wage. Tree-huggers and climate-change marchers willing to be arrested to save the Earth. Democracy is far, far more than voting; democracy is what we do between elections. Agitate, agitate, agitate.

NOW AND THEN: Bill Moyers is pictured on his weekly PBS show (top), and in 1965 with President Lyndon B. Johnson (below). of anger over so many people barely making it in America?

Over what’s happening to our public schools, our public parks, our public highways, our public libraries — under the relentless assault of those who want to privatize everything public for a profit?

It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s shameful and scandalous. Members of Congress spend three to four hours a day just “dialing for donors” — calling contributors begging for money.

Anyone who doesn’t see Congress today as an owned-andoperated subsidiary of powerful corporations, rich individuals, and organized interests is living in some kind of la-la land.

You want to know the one thing I most remember about Jesus from my Sunday School days? He got so angry at how the moneylenders in the temple were profaning the sacred that he threw them out of the temple. Imagine if he could see the money changers in Congress, once known as “The People’s House.” To quiet him down, the security guards — our centurions — would have to arrest and crucify him.

The Supreme Court’s decision on the Citizens United case: good or great? Oh, god, just awful. The worst decision since Dred Scott, when Chief Justice Taney, a former slaveholder, led the court to rule that a black man couldn’t be a U.S. citizen and therefore couldn’t sue for his freedom. John Roberts is today’s Taney. Before he went on the court, he was a mer-

I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask you what you make of the current presidential election. A lot of political commentators have made facile comparisons between Sanders and Trump as the “outsider” candidates addressing economic angst. Oh, man, how right you are. I’m just recovering from having read the news report today of Michael Bloomberg’s commencement address at the University of Michigan. He told a captive audience that in this presidential election “we’ve seen more demagoguery from both parties than I can remember in my lifetime.” Makes you wonder just where this man been all his life. Michael Bloomberg bought his first election as mayor with so much of his own pocket change that the leading contender, a really serious progressive, was drowned out. Now Bloomberg has the gall to lump into one category of castigation the “demonization of immigrants” and “the demonization of the wealthy.”

As the New York Times put it, “his remarks appeared directed at Donald J. Trump and Senators Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.” Only a useful idiot would believe such a claim. Bernie Sanders is no mirror opposite of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. Nor is Hillary Clinton (she’s more the mirror image of Michael Bloomberg). There really are differences, and Bloomberg’s effort to conflate them reveals just how far removed our plutocrats are from the lived experience of ordinary Americans — from the deep rumbling in the American viscera.

You said of your time as LBJ’s press secretary, “You begin to confuse the office with the man and the man with the country.” How did that experience impact the way you approached the craft of journalism after you left the White House? Our credibility was so bad we couldn’t believe our own leaks. So I realized how crucial transparency is to democracy.

Can you be objective and tell the truth at the same time? I am not quite sure what objectivity means, or even truth, but I will confess to having been deeply influenced by the words of the great 13th-century Persian poet Rumi: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” Beyond left and right, and beyond question and n answer, there is a truth the journalist is trying to find.

Sandy Warren 5.14.1944 — 7.31.15

Always the Love A love without edges A love with no end Ronald Kenneth Fairbanks 06/09/44-04/30/16

Ronald Kenneth Fairbanks died unexpectedly on April 30, 2016, after a left leg blood clot led to a sudden cardiac arrest at Santa Barbara Harbor in the late afternoon while he was cleaning the deck of his beloved boat the Miss Devin.

Ron was born June 9, 1944, in Lompoc, CA. His father and mother were farmer-ranchers in Lompoc Valley. His dad, Kenneth Clyde Fairbanks, came from long time connections to the valley and Ventura County.

His mom, Mary Emily Dettamanti Fairbanks, came from northern Italian immigrants who settled in the valley toward the end of WWI. Ron is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Bonnie Alice (Hurlbut) Fairbanks, and their children, Dean Howard Kenneth Fairbanks and wife 18

Portia Ceruti of Chico, CA and Devin Catherine Fairbanks and husband Tom McFaul of Santa Barbara, CA. He is survived by his sister Lorraine Catherine Ploch of Lompoc. His grandchildren are Sibaya Libby Fairbanks and Sabin Zane Fairbanks, also of Chico, CA. His nieces and nephews are Shelley (“Phyllis”) Kay Ploch, Stacey Marie (Ploch) Cleckley, Steven Loren Ploch, Jeremy Hurlbut, Paige Hurlbut, and Mason Hurlbut.

Ron, in his youth, was involved in 4H, working on the family farm and as a box boy at Jordano’s Market, surfing at Refugio beach, hunting with his friends and Uncle Henry Dettamanti, and camping with family. In 1961, he met his future wife, Bonnie, at the local A&W Root Beer, by introduction from his friend Les Schuyler.

After graduation, in 1962 from Lompoc High School, instead of going to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he enlisted in the Navy and served in the Seabees, learning the construction trade, especially plumbing/heatingcooling mechanical skills. He served in the early days of the Vietnam era, being placed in San Diego, Port Hueneme, Midway Island and Honolulu, Hawaii until being discharged in 1966.

It was at Midway Island in 1963 where he learned to scuba dive, which became a lifelong hobby.

dion He married Bonnie on August 22, 1965, at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Lompoc and they lived together in Hawaii until the end of 1966. Their first son, Dean, was born in 1969 and daughter, Devin, in 1970.

They returned and settled in Lompoc where Ron continued to work and develop his construction and plumbing mechanical skills by working, first for the Lompoc School District and Lompoc Hospital. During this time, he completed two AA/AS degrees in small business administration and political science from Allan Hancock Junior College. In 1972, he received his California State Contractors License. In 1970, he went to work for Walt Stanley Plumbing and Heating, where he became head foreman, eventually purchasing the business in 1975, and creating Ron’s Plumbing and Heating (and later Solar in 1981). His business consisted of parts sales, repair service, remodeling, and new construction. Many in the community will remember the red trucks with the monkey painted on the side holding a drain snake with the motto “Don’t Monkey Around, Call Us!” Genially known as “Running Ron”, he sold the business in 1995, but continued plumbing and contracting in a private capacity. In 1996, he started Ocean Sports, a business cater-

ing to scuba diving and fishing.

He was a PADI diving instructor for 15 years serving over 450 students. He sold the business in 2012.

Ron loved building and mechanical work. He built the family home in 1970, two more homes on the same block, as well as two commercial buildings where his businesses resided.

His love affair with the ocean led to two of his biggest building projects involving boat building.

In 1985, he started building the Devin K, a commercial fishing boat, which was launched at Santa Barbara Harbor in 1989.

The boat was lost in 1991, to be replaced by the Miss Devin, a New England style lobster boat.

In 1996, he earned his U.S. Coast Guards Captain's license, and became affectionately known as Captain Ron. He ran a successful charter boat business on the Miss Devin from 1996 until his passing. He loved serving people, conducting trips for divers, fishermen, surfers, kayakers, whale watchers, sunset cruises, research expeditions, oil companies, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and documentary film makers, like the BBC, all around the Santa Barbara Channel and Islands. Most especially, he loved taking out his family, friends, and his grandson, who delighted in his special fishing trips.

Ron and Bonnie loved to travel, and remain current with world news. With family and friends, he traveled the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Spain, Portugal, Italy, Africa, Swaziland, Costa Rica, Tahiti, Mexico, Jamaica, Barbados, and Australia. They also made many trips to spend time with their grandkids, who are fortunate to have so many special memories.

Ron was a member of the Lompoc Dive Club, Lompoc Valley Club (on the Board of Directors for over 25 years), Lompoc Masonic Lodge, Shrine Club, Elks Lodge, Grange, and St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.

A member of St. Mary’s since 1965, he served on the vestry and helped as a consultant with the construction of its new location. He served on the Lompoc Cemetery Board, having been its chair for the last 22 years.

He was active in organizations with his children, especially Boy Scouts, where he went on countless backpack trips in the Santa Barbara backcountry and Sierra Nevada. He had long time friends, who met regularly for early morning coffee at the American Host, Friday lunch at Tom’s Burgers, and with the River Bottom Boys. From his youth, he maintained a lifelong connection to the local farming and ranching families. He was a friend to many and loved his community. He supported many people and often would help without asking, always willing to give. He never gave up on people, always finding the good

in everyone.

Ron was a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, family member, friend, community member, contractor, businessman, boat captain, and mentor.

Ron’s family is thankful for the retired fireman who helped and the emergency room doctor and staff at Cottage Hospital. We especially thank the outpouring of support from Ron’s family, friends, and former students Their messages of love and support are much appreciated.

A memorial service was held on Friday, May 6th, 3 p.m., at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 2800 Harris Grade Rd., Lompoc, CA, 93436.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to an organization in the Lompoc community, the town that Ron loved.

Marie Corry, of Goleta, passed away peacefully on April 28, at her home, at the age of 89.

Marie was born in Pittsburgh, PA, and married her husband, Tom, there in 1951. They moved to Santa Barbara in 1963, and lived at the same house in Goleta for 56 years.

Although Marie was no longer living in Pittsburgh, she remained a Pittsburgher for life and was an avid Steelers fan.

Tom and Marie just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on March 26.

Tom and Marie had 4 sons: Tom, Steve, Vince, and Dan. Their house was known as the Boy's Club because there were often 6-8 boys on site at any time. They welcomed these visitors, and the title of 5th son was shared by successive people over the years.

Marie loved her sons and their families. She was a hardworking woman, who after cleaning and cooking for 5 men, went back to work at various jobs once her children were grown.

Marie loved Snickers bars, babies, and engaging in conversation with almost anyone.

All of her sons graduated from UCSB and went on to various professional pursuits, ranging from finance to business owners to music entertainment management. She was the cornerstone for the family, and her sons always awaited the weekly Saturday morning call to cont’D

Athlete, Coach, City Councilmember out of public engagement during the last years of his life, but as a coach, teacher, administrator, and city councilmember, he made a lasting impact on the community.

“Rusty’s love for Santa Barbara was special,” said his longtime friend John Martony.“He was a one-of-a-kind, a great guy.”

Fairly coached baseball at Santa Barbara City College from 1965-1981. “He was an old-school disciplinarian,” said Martony, who was a pitcher for the Vaqueros. “He valued team baseball.

Every pitch is important, every at-bat is important. Everything matters.”

Not even a stunning blow to his midsection could keep Fairly from running the show. “He was standing by the dugout, and somebody taking swings with a bat caught him in the ribs,” recalled SBCC equipment manager Pat Aguilera.“He says,‘I’m okay, I’m okay.’ The next thing you know he’s lying down in the dugout. Then he sits up and continues to direct the traffic and call the plays. He had a big welt and bruised ribs, but there’s no way he was going to leave.”

Sydney Smith-O’Neill

Shirle Casier

03/31/42-04/25/16

Sydney died peacefully at Mission Terrace after a decade long battle with Alzheimer's. Sydney was born and raised in Santa Barbara, and graduated SBHS in 1959.

She lived a full and exciting life. She spent many years in Hawaii and traveled extensively with her husband, Dennis, who she was married to for almost 30 years. They enjoyed living in Las Vegas and Long Beach, as well. At one point, they bought a large RV and were hired as camp hosts at different campgrounds throughout the U.S. They loved their life and always made sure to watch every sunset.

Sydney and sunsets go hand in hand. Sydney wore many hats in her job choices over the years including, but not limited to, flight attendant, real estate agent, travel agent, beer and wine distributor, receptionist for Paine Webber for many years, and her most favorite was being a professional extra in movies and TV. She loved being on Friends, Get Shorty, The Ellen Show, The Brady Bunch Movie, and so many more. Sydney was vivacious, hilarious, sarcastic, smart, witty, and an absolutely blast to be around. She could make anyone laugh, no matter what mood they were in. Her granddaughter, Nikki, said it best, “She was shiny.”

She is survived by her husband, Dennis O'Neill, her brother, Alex Smith, and her 20

At Shirle Casier's passing, many dear friends have commented about the qualities that made her such a special person. One of her closest friends, Margery Baragona, captured her essence when she described Shirle "as a blithe spirit, pretty, smart, compassionate, witty, selfless and more."

Shirle grew up in San Bernardino and Fresno, and was graduated from Hoover High in Glendale in 1946, after which she enrolled at UCSB, then located on the Riviera campus. She was active in college life, joining two vocal groups, Alpha Theta sorority, and serving as the Vice President of the Student Body.

Shirle earned spending money by modeling in her spare time.

In her senior year, she married fellow collegian Bob Casier, thus beginning an enduring love affair of 66+ years. Their serendipitous first encounter occurred when she was a "pick-up" at the Riviera bus stop.

Shirle graduated with honors in early childhood education in 1950. She then began her teaching career at Oxford Elementary School in Berkeley, while her husband was doing graduate work at Cal Berkeley. The young couple lived for a time in the Bay Area. They spent many happy hours in San Francisco, where their first son was born, before returning to Santa Barbara in 1953. After a ten year hiatus to rear their three young sons, Craig, Rodger and Bryan, she resumed her teaching career in

the Hope School District in 1963, where she first taught primary grades and then became a reading specialist at Monte Vista School in a very successful professional career.

Two key family developments arose from the Monte Vista connection. First, fellow teacher Kristine Jones married Craig.

Later, Bryan married Karen Amundson, who had been one of Shirle's first grade students.

After her middle son, Rodger, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, Shirle devoted countless hours to involvement in mental health groups. She served on the Board of Directors of The Wellness Center, was honored as mental health volunteer of the year, participated in a panel discussion of mental health issues on the Today Show, and in 2013, received a citation of appreciation from the County Board Of Supervisors.

Her efforts were rewarded, as Rodger became well known as an abstract artist. His accomplishments included the National Mental Illness Awareness poster in 2005 and paintings on the covers of ten magazines. He was a featured subject in the award-winning documentary "Crazy Art".

Rodger's illness led his younger brother Bryan to a career in mental health. He is currently a supervisor of a large children's mental health clinic in Riverside County.

The Casier’s hosted numerous events at their ocean view property in Montecito, their home for 40 years. Shirley was always a gracious hostess and participated in many spirited discussions. Author and friend, Pico Iyer, fondly remembers Shirle as "one of the most wonderful conversational partners I've ever met — so intuitive, so generous, so frank, so penetrating.” Shirle shared a keen interest in politics with her husband, who taught Political Science at SBCC and UCSB. The Casier family traveled frequently. They spent the summer of 1967 visiting historical sites in the U.S. and their three sons were thrilled to watch every Major League team play. Trips to Europe always included visits to Bob's relatives in Belgium. In 1970-71, the Casier's spent the entire year traversing Europe in a Volkswagen camper, with stays in France and Spain. In later years, Bob and Shirle took trips to many foreign lands, some in connection with Bob's profession.

Retirement began in 1990, when Shirle assumed part-time care for grandchildren Drew and Elizabeth. Their father, Craig, recently recalled that his mother "enjoyed reading to them, doing messy paintings together and playing in self-constructed cardboard boxes." Later, Shirle and Bob cheered their grandkids on at swim meets and took them on many trips, including whitewater rafting and ocean cruises.

The grandchildren, friends and students enjoyed the Casier "playground", which included bocce ball, tennis and basketball.

In 2013, the Casiers moved to Vista Del Monte, involving themselves in many activities and making many new friends.

and Marie moved to Santa Bar Barbara to help their son, Ken, run a successful stained glass business for twenty years. Their original stained glass windows beautify many homes in the Santa Barbara area and the chapel at Samarkand.

Until the end of his life, he maintained a keen interest in politics, world affairs, and the arts, continually educating himself by reading. An avid stamp collector, he enjoyed both the cultural and artistic aspects of his extensive stamp collection. He and Marie volunteered for many years at what is now the William Sansum Diabetes Center. After Marie’s death in 2006, he enjoyed taking classes in silver jewelry making, and he created many lovely silver pendants, which he generously gave to friends and family.

He is survived by his sister, Vivian Tew; his son, Ken Solter (wife Aletha); his daughter, Nancy Amodeo (husband Tony); his grandchildren, Nicholas Solter (wife Sonja) and Sarah Solter (husband Aaron); his great-grandchildren, Kai and Katja; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank all of Sam’s wonderful caregivers, the Assisted Hospice team, and the friends who lovingly helped him in so many ways during his last few years when he struggled with multiple disabilities. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to a charity of your choice.

The family can be reached at P.O. Box 1281, Goleta, CA 93116.

Constance “Connie” Hernandez 10/31/60-04/30/16 Samuel Bernard Solter passed away on May 4, 2016, just a few weeks before his 96th birthday.

Beloved by family and friends, he was an accomplished fine artist and able woodworker. Sam was born on May 30, 1920, on a farm near Kerhonkson, New York, the third surviving child of Harry Solomiansky and Sadie (née Maskin), Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.

At age ten, he moved with his family to Los Angeles, where his parents opened a grocery store and his father also worked as a carpenter.

In 1942, he married the love of his life, Marie Fine. During World War II, the couple lived in Herington, Kansas, where Sam served as a sergeant in the Army Air Corps. His job was to type the secret orders given in sealed envelopes to B-29 pilots heading for the Pacific.

Sam discovered a love of painting as a child, and, using the GI Bill, attended the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. His varied careers included a hand-painted tie business, work as an architectural illustrator and model builder, and a family pearl business at county fairs. In 1980, he

Connie was born October 31, 1960, in Santa Barbara, CA. The youngest of six children, she was raised by her mother, Anna Hernandez Lopez. Connie was known for her free spirit, fun personality, loving heart, and her generosity, even when she had nothing to give. Connie could light up a room with her laughter and befriend anyone around her.

She will truly be missed by many!

She is survived by her 4 children: Rita Higuera, Nadine Wishart, Elisa Regalado, and John Regalado III; as well as her 3 grandchildren, Gabriel, Adrian, and Danielle Higuera.

The family will be holding a private service for close friends and family on May 27, 2016.

Two-Party Tyranny

A

t the May 6 congressional candidates debate, an opiated New Vic Theater audience drifted peacefully to sleep amid platitudes recited by the Democratic and Republican wings of the state party. But had the organizers been democratic enough to invite independent candidates, I could have livened things up considerably with remarks like these: Our country now operates as a ruthless military empire — an overextended and increasingly desperate one.

We’re in seven wars now: in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. All these wars are being fought for economic reasons. None are just.

We’ve squandered $6 trillion in Afghanistan and Iraq alone, and have only made things worse in both countries.

Our foreign policy is held hostage by the Saudis (for fun, Google “petro-dollars”), who are meanwhile financing radical Islam and terrorist groups in the Middle East and Europe.

Instead of debating these issues of vital significance, our government divides and distracts us with a running dog-and-pony show that is the Republican and Democratic parties.

As the super-rich get richer, everyone else is on the verge of economic ruin.

With huge student loan debts, no jobs, and unaffordable housing, young people today are a new underclass.

Unity and solidarity among all Americans is our greatest hope and resource, and we ought to turn as one against politicians who would divide us.

These problems and others are solvable, but not by the two-party enablers of the Wall Street status quo.

People are fed up and want change. In the race for Congress, they can vote for it.

— John Uebersax, 24th Congressional District Candidate, Morro Bay

A Continuing Education

T

o be fair, former SBCC president Andreea Serban did not “hack away” at the beloved Adult Ed pro-

gram, per last week’s SBCC Promise story [independent .com/sbccpromise]. She was required to convert formerly state-funded, noncredit continuing education classes to fee-based community service classes. I am certain Anthony Beebe, SBCC president-elect, was faced with the exact same challenge to his own highly regarded continuing education programs at San Diego City College as a result of the post-2008 changes in state funding.

Today, fees for similar continuing education classes are set by instructors using a mutually agreed-upon formula between themselves and SBCC’s new Center for Lifelong Learning, since state funding was never restored for these programs.

Ironically, it was the newly elected 2010 board majority who refused repeated requests to consider a district parcel tax that could have “saved adult ed.” It was also the newly elected board majority who voted to terminate the position of SBCC Vice President of Continuing Education and eliminate the separate administrative structure that had existed for noncredit continuing education.

Additionally, for decades, SBCC board policy limited international student enrollments to 500 students. After the 2008 fiscal crisis, this fixed-number enrollment policy was changed to temporarily allow 8 percent international student enrollment. The current board by formal written policy designated this 8 percent to be applied to the total head-count numbers, which subsequently allowed upward of 1,800 international students to be now enrolled at SBCC.

STRONG LIKE REDWOOD: The Botanic Garden, its redwood grove (above, planted 1926), and the Blaksley Library (below, built in 1942) survived multiple conflagrations in recent years, including the Jesusita Fire and a political mess over the Vital Mission Plan.

santa barbara historical museum

In 1938, when landscape architect Beatrix Farrand joined the garden’s advisory committee, tensions arose, so Kellam de Forest calls the Meadow entrance “a compromise” for his father, explaining, “It was a little more formal than he would’ve liked, but the naturalistic meadow remains, as does the view.” That said, Lockwood de Forest was proud of his achievements, even though he never lived to see them to completion — he died from pneumonia in 1949.

But the work went on. Lutah Maria Riggs designed the offices adjoined to each side of the garden’s library by 1961 and also conceived a research wing built in 1964. An enlarged unit for horticultural research and propagation was established in 1973 and, a year later, the John Pitman–designed herbarium opened—and is today the region’s largest scientific collection of preserved Central Coast plant specimens (about 140,000).

Not every moment of the Botanic Garden’s history has been a bed of roses. In 2009, there was the Jesusita Fire, financial woes from the recession, massive layoffs, a volunteer strike, and a large public uproar over changes proposed in a “Vital Mission Plan.” But the plan was retooled, perceived bad guys moved on, and the new director, Steve Windhager, came on to usher in a new era.

Today, Windhager is managing a $14 million “Seed the Future” campaign, which is already benefiting the original Meadow, the Wooded Dell around the historic Campbell Bench, an Island Section featuring deciduous plants, and the Centennial Maze, commemorating the Garden Club of Santa Barbara’s 100th anniversary. The new children’s maze offers a labyrinth of coyote brush occasionally dead-ending into “Gnome Homes,” miniature houses inside which small, handwritten “Be Back Later!” notes from absent little residents await kids opening its tiny doors.

Opening in July is Seed the Future’s cornerstone: the John C. Pritzlaff Conservation Center, an 11,500-square-foot facility with an arboretum housing more than 150,000 plant specimens.“Think of it as a library with a live catalogue of genetic material,” said Dunbar. Staffers seem excited about the new building, which will be fire-safe, include wet and dry labs for molecular research, and, according to Mordini, feature “a big open display where tourists can observe the scientists at work.”

That’s just one more reason for the garden’s 55,000 annual visitors to keep coming back. n See sbbg.org.

n January 1916, a minister turned ornitholo-

gist named William Leon Dawson indulged his fascination with bird eggs by opening the Museum of Comparative Oology at his home just up creek from the Santa Barbara Mission. By 1923, public pressure to showcase something other than eggs forced Dawson out, and the Museum of Natural History as we know it sprang forth.

Today, while a casual visitor may assume that the focus is merely on the plants, animals, and past people of our region, the museum’s mission is truly multifaceted. There’s active research on both land and sea, myriad educational offerings for schoolkids

of all grades, and a steady schedule of events both informative and fun for adults. Those efforts, which also occur at the museum’s Sea Center on Stearns Wharf, have exponentially grown over the decades, and will continue to do so under recently approved renovation plans that will further emphasize the museum’s unique mix of outdoor and indoor experiences.

Making this all happen during the past century are legions of staff members and volunteers, many of whom have spent their entire careers and/or much of their lives dedicated to this place. Here’s a dossier on just a few of those important veterans, without whom there’d be no museum at all.

Projects? Worked with wildlife through the Central Coast, from the Channel Island foxes to Vandenberg bats. Also helped with the blue whale skeleton, recovering the skeleton in the 1980s and repairing it recently.

Favorite memory? “From the earliest years back in the late 1960s when I would visit the museum’s bird hall to help learn to identify the birds of our region.”

Six words or less? Amazing, cherished institution for this size community.

SHARING WISDOM: Unlike many academic institutions that guard discoveries in journals, the Museum of Natural History’s research immediately flows into the public sphere. “Scientists have a sacred responsibility to share their research and their findings with the public,” believes anthropologist Jan Timbrook.

“That’s what we do here.”

“into the electronic age in terms of networking, email, and a webpage!” Also digitizing the vertebrate collections and redesigning the bird hall.

Favorite memories? “Since I have spent almost half my adult life as an employee, I have so many memories that I can’t think of just one.

Most of them deal with field trips we led, school groups getting super excited about the stuff behind the scenes, and memories of some amazing mentors who shared their vast knowledge with me that have now passed on.”

Next 100 years? “With each passing year, the relevance of material we have in our collections grows more and more valuable to the scientific community.”

Jan Hamber

Cornell graduate that moved to Santa Barbara and started volunteering in September 1959.

Hired as assistant curator in 1969, just before the oil spill.

Condor love? Started working on California

condors with Dick Smith in 1976 and presently is the museum’s condor biologist. “I was part of an amazing group of biologists who worked incredibly hard and helped save the California condor from extinction.”

Favorite memory? “The time I stood in the roiling surf and helped clean the flesh of the blue whale that had come ashore at Vandenberg AFB.” Next 100 years? “I just hope they keep the simple personal touch and not go with fancy technology that removes a person from the real world.”

Science teacher who started volunteering when she had young kids in 1983. Manager of teacher services 2008-2015; still a docent.

Favorite corner? The nature clubhouse. “So many of the kids from Santa Barbara to Ventura have never been to the beach or to a creek. So it’s really amazing that they can come outside and experience nature.”

Affected her kids? “All that exposure really clicked with my youngest one — she ended up with a doctorate in biology.”

Why special? “It’s a classic campus. It’s a friendlier sort of feel. It’s different than a big museum where everything is behind glass in huge halls. It’s intimate.”

eric HocHberg

Curator of the Invertebrate Zoology Department for 40 years, researching everything from sea shells to the kidney parasites of squid and octopus since 1973. Retired four years ago.

Working with college students? “I’ve had PhD

students from the U.S., Canada, Spain, Australia, Mexico, France, Colombia, and around the world. It gives them a really good connection with the facility.”

Extracurricular affairs? Started the Nature Printing Society in the mid-1970s. “That’s given me a balance to the scientific and technical studies and taken my career in a whole other direction. In a bigger or even small museum, I would not have been able to do that. We are just the right size and location.”

Next 100 years? “It will be critical to keep showcasing the diversity of life.”

JoHn JoHnson

Department head and Curator of Anthropology since 1986.

Why? “A fascination with Chumash culture

and prehistory of our region. My father was a high school biology teacher, and as children, my brothers and I would accompany him on field trips with his students to the L.A. County Museum of Natural History. I loved the wonderful exhibits of prehistoric animals and wildlife dioramas and dreamt of someday working for a natural history museum. It eventually worked out that this dream came true.”

Projects? Chumash ethnohistoric studies that have shed light on Chumash culture and history; archaeological exploration at Arlington Springs, Santa Rosa Island, that has yielded the earliest evidence for people in our region; DNA studies to discover distinctive genetic patterns that reflect past migrations that peopled California. Also his collaboration with Chumash elder Ernestine De Soto and filmmaker Paul Goldsmith to cowrite and produce 6 Generations, which tells the story of the experience of women in six generations of a Barbareño Chumash family. “I regard that experience as one of the highlights of my tenure at the museum.”

Loyda marquez

After 39 years of teaching at Harding Elementary School, retired and became a docent in 1999.

Why? “To expand children’s minds, to help

them see the world in a different way. Perhaps they will be more mindful of nature and think responsibly instead of being self-centered.

Books are fine, but you can do more than that.”

BONES TELL STORIES: One of anthropologist John Johnson’s proudest moments was being part of the team that determined bones found on Santa Rosa Island in 1959 — such as the replica of a left femur he holds in his hands — were actually 13,000 years old.

Nature’s effect on kids? “It shaped their lives to a large extent. They are very mindful of what they do with the land they are on.”

ros perry

Moved here from East Coast in 1976, and started to volunteer as a docent in 1979. Also served on the board.

Antidote to iPads? “With the growth of screen time, the

time kids spend out in nature has really decreased. The museum is spearheading an effort to bring kids to the backyard of the museum where they can explore in the soil and the water and learn so many things.”

Working with scientists? “We’ve just had phenomenal opportunities to interact with the staff. I have huge admiration for the dedication and the amount of work they do, and their willingness to share all of this with the docents.”

Good vibes? “Everybody is so positive and engaging and supportive. It’s a very enjoyable facility. It’s really been a happy part of my life.”

sandy russeLL

Docent for 16 years; also volunteer in Invertebrate Zoology working on butterflies.

Favorite corner? The Butterfly Pavilion. “It draws in so

many visitors for an awesome educational experience with nature, and also for the real effect of a healthful connection and attunement with the natural world while stimulating curiosity and promoting more personal involvement. It’s not just an exhibit when visitors ask,‘How can I do this at home in my garden?’”

Best memory? “Seeing my grandson start walking for the first time across the Smokey Bear exhibit hall just so he could get there faster to roar at the grizzly mount. Fierce motivation!”

Six words or less? Real Nature: under glass and under your feet!

FredricK scHaeFFer

After a career in electronics, joined Anthropology Departments as a volunteer 21 years ago.

First visit? With future wife in 1957. “It was a wonderful

experience, and I have loved the museum ever since.”

Proudest accomplishment? Compiling and calibrating the museum’s radiocarbon dates.

Advice for future? “Never get rid of the rattlesnake; it is a joy to watch the kids push the button.”

terri sHeridan

Hired in 1986 as teacher, became assistant librarian in 1987 and head librarian in 1992.

Lotsa books? “The library collections here are vast,

varied, and infinitely interesting. I get to work with researchers from all over the world helping them to piece together their own research puzzles that, in turn, lead to answering a myriad of questions regarding the natural world and how humans have interacted with it for thousands of years. I’m a knowledge junkie.”

Hidden treasures? “A lot of the work I do on a day-today basis is invisible to most people — developing and processing collection material to make it available for research is not particularly glamorous. However, I find it very rewarding when people, no matter who they are, find what they’re looking for among our collections.”

Next 100 years? “We have the magic. We have it all, from passive, contemplative programs, exhibits, study, and scenery to wild get down and dirty, touch it all, nature discovery, adventure, and play. This is a place where everyone experiences the environment in just the right way for them.”

dr. gregory Keller and Rejuvalase Medi Spa are excited to annouce that we are now offering the Cellfina™ procedure. The Cellfina™ System is the only FDA-cleared minimally invasive procedure clinically proven to improve the appearance of cellulite for at least two years — the longest FDA-cleared duration for a cellulite treatment. Performed in a doctor’s office by a qualified physician, Cellfina™ treats the primary structural cause of cellulite.

Jan timbrooK

Started as volunteer in summer of 1973; hired in January 1974. Currently curator of ethnography. “That’s important sounding, but no one knows what it means. It’s cultural anthropology. I get to take care of the pretty things.” Like baskets, pottery, etc.

Sharing knowledge? “Scientists have a sacred responsi-

bility to share their research and their findings with the public. That’s what we do here.”

Proudest accomplishment? Her 2007 book, Chumash Ethnobotany, now in its third printing. “That took 30 years of research off and on to pull it all together, so it’s basically my life’s work.”

Adults, too? “So many people say, ‘Oh, gosh, what a great place. I haven’t been there since my kids were little.’ People think it’s only for children. That’s missing so much of what we do. It’s really important we educate adults and not just children.”

pauL VaLenticH-scott

Marine biologist since 1982; Curator of Malacology.

What’s work like? “Our amazing museum allows us to

do cutting-edge research and work with schoolchildren on the same day. It is a wonderful combination of excitement and discovery, and humbling at the same time.”

Favorite memory? “I always love watching ‘the light go on’ when a visitor understands a challenging biological concept. When we do “behind the scenes tours,” so many visitors are stunned by what we don’t know about our planet, but also what we are discovering every day.

They begin to understand why we do research and why it matters.”

Six words or less? Beautiful, inspiring, jaw-dropping, playful, discovery, natural. n

The work of Many hands by charles Donelan

I

t was 75 years ago this June that the

old post office building on the corner of State and Anapamu streets first opened its doors as the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The construction inside remained partly unfinished, but there were 1,500 junior high school students waiting patiently on the steps, because founder Buell Hammett had consulted an astrologer who assured him that, at 11:43 in the morning on June 5, the stars would be aligned in the most propitious way possible for the start of this new venture. Regardless of whether or not the stars had anything to do with it, June 5, 1941, was indeed a lucky day, for Santa Barbara’s new museum would prove to consistently deliver experiences far out of proportion to the size of the population it serves.

As the museum gears up for its 75th anniversary celebration beginning on Sunday, May 15, it is time to tell again the fascinating story of how it became one of the top regional art museums in the world. Walking through the splendid new exhibit from the Indian subcontinent, Puja and Piety, it’s easy to feel the deep connection between the museum’s cosmopolitan outlook and the life of our city.

But it is through the adjacent selection of works from the permanent collection, 75 in 25, and its introductory essay by the museum’s director Larry Feinberg, that one can learn

how this seemingly natural and effortless fit between institution and community came about through the hard work and dedication of several generations.

The early years were necessarily marked by the historical circumstance of the Second World War. As the museum’s first director, Donald J. Bear, was selecting works for the inaugural show, Painting Today and Yesterday in the United States, the Japanese navy was preparing to attack Pearl Harbor. To enter the building through the Ludington Court, then as now home to magnificent examples of Greek and Roman sculptures, and to proceed into an exhibition 140 images strong demonstrating the vitality and range of American art was to witness firsthand the living tradition that the war was being fought to protect. Yet from its very beginning, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art also recognized and honored the multiplicity of artistic expression and the diversity of cultures that come together here in California. When the large McCormick Gallery opened in 1942, among the first shows were major exhibitions of pre-Columbian art and modern paintings from Mexico.

COME ON IN: SBMA director Larry Feinberg invites the whole community to join him for the museum’s 75th anniversary celebration on Sunday, May 15, from 1-4 p.m.

Food & Wine LIVE MUSIC

LEADING WOMEN: Claude Monet’s “Villas at Bordighera” (1884; detail pictured above) is just one of many gifts made by major museum donor Katharine Dexter McCormick. American surrealist Kay Sage painted “Second Song” (below) after traveling to Paris and marrying fellow artist Yves Tanguy.

Despite the difficulties presented by life during wartime, the museum nevertheless managed to expose the people of Santa Barbara to the most important developments in modern art. Imagine the impact visitors must have felt when Picasso’s giant anti-war painting “Guernica” went on display in May of that year, or the excitement generated later that same spring when the museum exhibited the “Nude Descending a Staircase” of Marcel Duchamp. These are just two examples of the level of work that curators were able to borrow from the start.

After the war, the pace of exhibition planning accelerated, and Santa Barbarans enjoyed a front-row seat for the period that came to be known as “the triumph of American painting.” For example, the museum presented the work of Mark Rothko in 1946, identifying the artist on the cusp of shifting to his signature style.

With the unexpected loss of Bear, who died of a heart attack in March 1952, the museum entered into a new era in which his successor, Ala Story, would both continue in his pattern of support for California artists and expand the museum’s holdings of European and Asian art.

As a result of Story’s initiative, the museum began holding the Pacific Coast Biennial, an invitation-only exhibition of artists handpicked by the new director on her many excursions to studios in California, Oregon, and Washington. As a result, the museum began buying work by rising stars. One brilliant example of a work acquired as a result of the Biennial series is Richard Diebenkorn’s “Woman and Checkerboard” (1956).

When Story retired in 1957, her successor, James Foster, took over and revolutionized the permanent collection through the acquisition of the Preston Morton Collection of American Art in 1960. Suddenly, this small museum on the West Coast was in possession of works by artists associated with cit-

ies such as Boston, Philadelphia, and New York, including John Singleton Copley, Alfred Albert Bierstadt, William Merritt Chase, and John Singer Sargent, and such later masters as Marsden Hartley and Edward Hopper. The core of a remarkable collection of American art was now fully established.

The period that followed, from 1963 to 1982, in which Thomas Leavitt and then Paul Mills directed the museum, will always be remembered as among its most exciting.

Leavitt was from Boston by way of Pasadena, where he had staged the first Duchamp retrospective in America. This epochal event remains central to any genealogy of modern art on the West Coast, and Leavitt continued to pursue the cutting edge in his position in Santa Barbara with exhibits by Piet Mondrian, Philip Guston, and sculptor Tony Smith. Following on Leavitt’s pattern of concept-driven group shows such as Optical Paintings in 1966, Mills, who became director in 1970, pushed further in this direction with exhibitions like 1971’s Spray, which brought together artists using various spray-painting techniques.

The 1990s and the 2000s have seen the Santa Barbara Museum of Art operating at its highest level yet of scholarly productivity and community outreach. Thanks to a grant from Lord Paul and Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree, the museum continues to offer an extraordinary range of educational activities to thousands of students throughout the county. Under Feinberg, whose officially endowed title is Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Director, the curatorial staff has grown into a formidable center of art historical scholarship, with Asian Art curator Susan Tai recently honored for her spectacular catalogue for the show The Artful Recluse.

As it enters into this 75th year, the museum has never been in better shape, or had more n to offer to the city.

Why did you decide to write a book about your life? I was getting a lot of

The Virtues of impaCt investing

Books

anta Barbara freestyle motorcyclist Clint Ewing made national headlines in August 2013 when his attempt to set a second world record for riding through the longest tunnel of fire ended in near-death disaster. His career was in jeopardy, but Ewing, who was raised in Montecito, struggled through recovery to get back onto his globe-trotting routine, performing wheelies, spins, and other tricks in front of thousands around the world. He recently penned a memoir, A Freestyle Life, and told us a little about it last week.

ally. What gave me the drive was having a goal. I told myself I would not only come back from this injury but that I would come back stronger than ever. After four months of physical therapy and working out, I have made a full recovery.

What’s your next move? I signed with Kawasaki as of 2016 and will continue to work hard in order to open up more doors for the future. I cannot ride forever in the freestyle industry, but I will continue to strive to achieve and do the best I can at whatever life throws at me. — Matt Kettmann

Clint Ewing will sign copies of A Freestyle Life at the Moto Loco (736 Carpinteria St.) Third Thursday Bike Night on May 19 at 6 p.m. See clintewing.com.

fter becoming disillusioned with the financial model and ineffectiveness of so many of the nonprofits around him, Peter Brill stumbled upon an investment alternative that is now beginning to make its way into the mainstream. Brill, a retired psychiatrist, UPenn professor, and business owner, is bringing impact investing out into the Santa Barbara sunshine.

Part of the same larger philosophy of “conscious capitalism,” social entrepreneurship, and “social return on investment,” impact investing places money in initiatives, organizations, companies, and funds meant to produce an appreciable and beneficial social impact— impact along with a financial return.

Brill, who became interested in impact investing after retiring to Santa Barbara and getting involved in the nonprofit scene, wanted to bring the financial practice to the forefront of area investors’ and philanthropists’ attention. “Nonprofits are wonderful, wonderful organizations; they do a lot of good,” he told me. “The philanthropy that underlies them is very important. … But as change agents, they don’t work very well. And by and large, they tend to sometimes stabilize a problem but not necessarily resolve it.”

So in an effort to educate the community, Brill organized an impactinvestment conference for May 20 at Antioch University. The keynote speakers are Maya Chorengel, cofounder of Elevar Equity, and Charly Kleissner, the cofounder of the KL Felicitas Foundation and Toniic— Toniic both of whom are considered to be successful and authoritative figures in the impact-investing world.

Wealthy retirees, philanthropic foundations, venture capitalists, and even government regulators are all targets for the conference and the perfect folks to make socially guided investments, Brill said. With Santa Barbara not unfamiliar with these cohorts, the city became an ideal location to begin spreading the impact-investment gospel.

Despite the ostensible win-win nature of impact investing, the strategy has a formidable hill to climb to win over investors used to traditional styles of investing. “I think the problem is people come out of a certain mindset,” said Brill. “They have this charitable, giving mindset, and to make the jump that maybe they should be using that money — or at least a portion of that money— money in a different way to produce change is sometimes a big jump for them. But I think it’s an idea whose time has come, and people are getting more and more interested in it.”

The conference, free to anyone interested, will run 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Friday, May 20, at Antioch University Santa Barbara (602 Anacapa St.). For more info, visit sustainablechangealliance.org/impact-investing. sustainablechangealliance.org/impact-investing — Sam Goldman

Who Will Conquer

the Amgen tour’s Queen stAge? Cyclists Fear Gibraltar Road in Next Week’s Race Through California

2006, there was a blur of colored jerseys on Cabrillo Boulevard as George Hincapie edged out a swarm of sprinting cyclists. It was the same in 2013, when Tyler Farrar won a mad dash at East Beach. A year later, Taylor Phinney exceeded 50 mph descending San Marcos Pass and cruised triumphantly down the final stretch.

Speed will give away to brute power next Tuesday, May 17, when the 11th edition of the Amgen Tour comes to Santa Barbara. Instead of finishing on the waterfront, Stage 3 will come to an end at an elevation of 3,300 feet. The last six miles of the 104-mile stage, which starts in Thousand Oaks, will be on the relentlessly steep and winding Gibraltar Road.

It has been designated as the “Queen Stage,” in cycling parlance the most demanding stage of the race that will total almost 800 miles over eight days. In a preview on NBC Sports network, which will televise the action, young rider Lawson Craddock said, “You’ll see the race just blow to pieces” on Gibraltar Road. The 8 percent grade is comparable to the climb up the famed Alpe d’Huez in the Tour de France.

Eighteen professional cycling teams, comprising 144 riders, will try to put their strongest climbers in position to take Tuesday’s stage.

Tinkoff’s Peter Sagan, the 26-yearold Slovakian who was overall winner of last year’s tour, figures to be in the mix. He also won the World Championship Road Race and got this season off to a winning start in the Tour of Flanders.

Australia’s Rohan Dennis of the BMC Racing Team proved to be a fierce climber in the 2014 Amgen Tour when he powered to the summit of Mount Diablo. He finished second in the overall standings to Bradley Wiggins, the British champion who will return to California this year as he prepares for his fourth appearance in the Olympic Games. Dennis had a moment of glory in 2015 when he won the opening time trial of the Tour de France, setting an average speed record of 34.5 mph.

Other international stars include Britain’s Mark Cavendish, who excels in flat sprint finishes (four stage wins in California last year); Norwegian sprinter Alexander

COASTING CALIFORNIA: Next Tuesday, Stage 3 of the Amgen Tour of California will pass through S.B. and feature the famous Gibraltar Climb. If you aren’t lucky enough to be up at the finish, you can still see live coverage of the race at the Granada Theatre from 2-4 p.m. After that is a post-race Happy Hour from 5-7 p.m. (thanks to Telegraph Brewery) and the Velo Wings Awards at 6 p.m., followed by a 7 p.m. movie screening of Inspired to Ride — an amazing film about an unsupported race across the U.S. by bike. Entrance is FREE!

Kristoff, winner of 20 races in 2015; young French sensation Julian Alaphilippe, runner-up to Sagan by mere seconds in the overall California standings last year; and Daniel Teklehaimanot, an Eritrean who donned the King of the

Mountain jersey in France.

Beginning at 2 p.m. Tuesday, traffic along Stanwood Drive, El Cielito Road, and Gibraltar Road will be restricted, according to the S.B. Police Department. The course will be entirely closed at approximately 2:30 p.m. for 30 minutes while the cyclists make their way to the finish line.

Running south-to-north for the second time, the Amgen Tour will start Sunday in San Diego. Other new wrinkles will include the finish of Stage 4 (Morro Bay to Monterey) at the Laguna Seca Raceway, and the closing laps on Sunday, May 22, around the State Capitol in Sacramento.

gAme of the Week

5/13-5/15: College Baseball: Cal State Fullerton at UCSB: When it comes to baseball, Fullerton’s Titans deserve their name. They have made 17 trips to the College World Series and won four national championships. They occupy the top of the Big West standings with a 12-3 record (31-16 overall). UCSB (9-6, 31-12) needs a series victory to stay in contention for the title. The Gauchos are tough to beat in the friendly confines of their campus diamond — last week’s win over Pepperdine was their 21st in 22 home games. But on the road at UC Davis last weekend, they lost two of three. Fri.: 3pm. Sat.: 2pm. Sun.: 1pm. Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. $5-$8.

Five athletes who excelled in area high schools and beyond will be inducted: Chris Gocong (Carpinteria), an All-CIF football player and discus thrower who later was an All-American defensive end at Cal Poly and played five seasons in the NFL; Meghan Moore Reardon (Santa Barbara),

who scored a record 88 soccer goals for the Dons and also set a career record at Boston College; volleyball star Gary Pearce (Dos Pueblos), who as a UCSB Gaucho had a perfect hitting performance (25-for-25) at San Diego State in 1980; baseball standout Scott Randall (Dos Pueblos), who pitched for SBCC and UCSB and in 2003 became the first DP player to make it to the major leagues; and Kelly Schmandt Ferguson (San Marcos), a four-year league tennis champion who was ranked No. 2 nationally in doubles at Vanderbilt University.

Persona Wood Fired Pizzeria When it opened on State Street in February 2013, Persona Pizzeria was the first in town—and perhaps anywhere—to offer a fresh, wood-fired pizza pie cooked before your eyes in a mere 90 seconds. That model of cofounders Glenn Cybulskiand Joe Baumel (pictured) became a franchising opportunity for aspiring restaurateurs across the country, from Santa Rosa to Columbia, South Carolina, with locations reportedly soon opening in Houston, Dallas, and Chicago.

Earlier this year, Persona started doing delivery, so our offices gave the 12-inchers a shot last month, ordering a handful of dif different specialty combos off their list of 30-plus toppings, from chipotle chicken and carne to pulled-pork barbecue and pesto with peppadew peppers. The pies were as crispy and tasty as they are in the restaurant itself, which Baumel attributes to a special insert inside the box that keeps the pizza fresh and warm without it becoming greasy.

For a quick lunch that doesn’t require you to leave your desk, this is a solid option for downtown workers. Just keep in mind that it’s a $10 minimum with a $3 delivery fee, so order with some colleagues to get the most out of your Persona pie.

“It’s a giant classroom,” said Dayna Birkley, who is president of the board. “We’re growing food, but we’re also growing teachers and we’re growing farmers.” That starts quite young, with infants and toddlers coming to play and learn every week with their parents, and carries through elementary school visits, spring and summer camps for many ages, internships for college students, and the apprenticeship program, where aspiring farmers stay and work on the property for months.

Meanwhile, rather than just selling what the garden grows, the farm stand on Fairview Avenue now stocks items from growers and food purveyors from around the region.“It’s like a sixdays-a-week farmers’ market,” said Birkley, who is also excited about a new pre-paid card program.

“We’re calling it CSA 2.0.”

Yet most of all, the Fairview Gardens team wants people to know that the farm is open to everyone for exploration and enjoyment. That’s as simple as taking the self-guided tour one afternoon or by hosting your next birthday party or business dinner there, for such events also help fund the farm into the long-term. “We’re running a farm to bolster our education program,” said Birkley, herself a financial advisor by profession.

“Neither one of those are a cash cow.”

On that front, Fairview Gardens is hosting its annual fundraiser, the Farm-to-Table Dinner Celebration, on Thursday, May 19, featuring food

hirty-five years ago, when Michael Ableman began his tenure at Fairview Gardens — the farm founded in 1895 that’s now surrounded by Goleta suburbs — he was on the leading edge of the movement to grow artisanal, heirloom, and organic fruits and vegetables. His success led to the establishment of the Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens as a nonprofit in 1997, and helped usher in a wave of like-minded farmers — so much so that today, artisanal, heirloom, organic, and other catchwords are the mantra of most small farms in California and beyond.

So Fairview Gardens is no longer an outlier, which is a good thing for our collective health, but that agro-cultural shift is also forcing the farm to realign its mission to stay relevant. Today, while farming of various crops continues on the property’s 12 acres, there’s a strong focus on education, an energized farm stand program, and an increasing outreach campaign to attract the greater community to experience Fairview Gardens for themselves.

Le Petit Bistrot Opens DOwntOwn

new French restaurant named Le Petit Bistrot has opened at 532 State Street, the former home of Verdé and Zia Café. “We are opening a French restaurant with authentic French food with good old recipes from France,” says owner Salvatore Italiano, a native of France.

Le Petit Bistrot offers an extensive breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu, which can be seen at lepetitbistrotsb.com. Inside the restaurant, they have what might be the nicest menus I have ever seen; each is like a fancy coffee-table book with descriptions and photos. The quality of the menu mirrors the care taken during the remodeling of the building, where everything appears new and top-of-the-line.

The breakfast features both French and American items, while lunch and dinner include soups, salads, sandwiches, a French burger, steak frites, veal, pork, and much more. The signature dish is the seafood pasta, but Italiano also pointed out a pork dish named Jarret Braisé à la Biére, which is braised pork knuckle and beer sauce.

The restaurant is open daily, 7 a.m.-11 p.m., with brunch available Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. It’s closed on Mondays. Their full liquor license should be finalized a few days after opening and will include French and regional wines. A grand opening is planned for June. Call 845-3488 or visit lepetitbistrotsb.com.

Thanks to readers Laura and Wade for the tips.

LITTLE KITCHEN OPENS ON ORTEGA: A new late-night restaurant, partially owned by and next door to Wildcat Lounge, has opened at 17 West Ortega Street, the former home of Nardonnes La Famiglia Pizzeria. The menu, available Friday-Sunday, 11 p.m.-2:30 a.m., includes Southwest Chicken Tikka Masala, Loaded Pub Fries, Bangkok Street Fries, Philly Cheese Steak, Banh Mi Sliders, French Toast Bites, Brioche Breakfast Sandwich, and Cheeseburger Egg Rolls. Lunch and dinner service are expected in the near future.

Thanks to reader Cathy for the tip.

BREAKFAST COMING TO CHAPALA: This just

in from reader Wade:“At the complex located at 715 Chapala Street it appears that a new dining/eat-

ery will be opening alongside Kanaloa Seafood.

Above the large door a sign ‘Breakfast’ has been painted on the building.” Thanks also to reader Cathy for the tip.

MAGIC CASTLE NORTH? The restaurant

property at 30 Los Patos Way, currently the Montecito Event Center and previously known as Café del Sol, has been purchased by Arlene and Milt Larsen, who founded the famous Magic Castle in Los Angeles. The couple, who live on the Mesa, have long-term plans to transform it into an offshoot of the Magic Castle. For the time being, the property will continue to operate as the Montecito Event Center. Larsen founded the Magic Castle in Los Angeles in the 1960s with his late brother Bill Jr. Steve Hayes and Michael Martz of Hayes Commercial Group represented the seller, and Joe Parker of the Santa Barbara Group represented the buyer in the transaction.

NECTAR TO OFFER LUNCH: Nectar at 20

East Cota Street (formely Blue Agave) will begin offering lunch this June, according to co-owner/ manager Aparna Sherman. “It will be called the Curry House at Nectar, featuring healthy Indian foods, salads, and chai,” explained Sherman, who created the concept and menu.“I am an Indianborn private chef and cookbook author. A former chef of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing in San Diego, I’ve been cooking for private clients for nine years in Santa Barbara. The food will be served through our kitchen window, and we will open up the downstairs for people to dine in. We will have a rotating menu of five curries and some Indian desserts as well.“ LIGHTHOUSE UPDATE: Last month, I wrote

that construction for a restaurant is underway at the Lighthouse on Cabrillo Boulevard, formerly Rusty’s Pizza. Michael Martz from Hayes Commercial Group offers some details: “They are rebuilding the property and adding a second story that will have a beautiful balcony with fantastic views of the waterfront. We will be delivering the restaurant shell to a new tenant and are actively marketing the space for a qualified operator.”

As pedigrees go, it’s hard to beat a super-somm and an up-and-coming winemaker. Meet Eric Railsback— who’s been part of the team at Les Marchands, Mattei’s, and Wine Cask (and that’s just his work around here) —and Justin Willett, who started at Arcadian and runs Tyler Winery. Of all things, they are most interested in grapes from France’s Loire Valley, hence this tasty pour.

This chenin blanc — from Foxen Canyon vines planted in the 1980s, aged enough to be called “old” for this rare varietal in California — is a minerally delight, with enough acid to work as an aperitif or to cut through a fatty appetizer’s heft or, conversely, to help oysters shine. It’s a laser beam of lovely citrus and precision.

Celebrating the

Written Word The 11Th AnnuAl Women’s liTerAry FesTivA iv l ivA

S

anta Barbara’s artistic communities are constantly thriving, churning out physical representations of diverse concepts and stories. Yet the literary arts are sometimes neglected in the tactile universe of performance and physical manifestation of creativity. This May, on the heels of National Poetry Month and amid the fervent #WhiteWashedOUT social media movement (the goal of which is to bring awareness of, among other issues, the work of artists of color), Santa Barbara will celebrate authors, diversity, and the written word at the 11th Annual Women’s Literary Festival.

The Women’s Literary Festival highlights female

This year’s featured authors include journalists, poets, editors, and essayists, as well as writers of short stories, children’s literature, and novels. Attendees will be treated to readings and discussions with the authors and a chance to share space with Santa Barbara’s vibrant literary community.

After opening remarks and introductions, the festival offers guests a chance to browse the book room, where the authors’ works will be displayed and available for purchase, and several 45-minute sessions with the present-

The festival also provides a more creative take on literature: Speakers such as Kathryn Otoshi, Angela Peñaredondo, and Kelli Stanley represent writers of fiction, poetry, and youth literature. Otoshi writes and illustrates children’s books, Peñaredondo is an award-win-

ning poet, and Stanley is the acclaimed writer of historical noirstyle crime fiction. The Women’s Literary Festival brings successful purveyors of literature in many genres to share their wisdom, their inspirations, and their individual creative processes. This event continues the conversation about the importance of literature and the greater consequence of creating art in general.

writers, both established and up-and-coming, on Saturday, May 14, at the Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort. Festival attendees will have the chance to meet a varied collection of authors, hear presentations on the writing process, and join the crucial, continuing dialogue regarding literacy promotion, social justice, and racial and cultural inclusion. For those interested in literature and its importance in conveying the message of these pertinent social issues, the festival offers insight; not only is this event an opportunity to learn how authors hone and refine their artistic methods, but it’s also a chance to be part of the discourse on significant social issues presented via the written word.

The 2016 festival features writers such as Ann Louise Bardach, longtime journalist for publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Vanity Fair.

Grace DeSoto Ferry and Mollie Gregory both began their artistic careers in filmmaking: Ferry transitioned to writing short story collections — her work highlights the racial divide she experienced as a Hispanic woman in San Antonio, Texas — and Gregory became a nonfiction writer whose work focuses on the struggles that women face in the male-dominated film industry.

2 Chainz & lil Wayne

radiohead

Lil Wayne excels in duo capacity. Remember his and Birdman’s vaingloriously big-timing Like Father, Like Son, the lushly produced account of New Orleans grime? Treading similar themes to that 2006 classic (e.g., 2 Chainz’s mantra on the sizzurp-y slow-motion “Rolls Royce Weather Everyday”: “I do me, I get high, I get fly, I get paid”), ColCol leGrove sounds sonically sparse by comparison. On “What Happened,” the Auto-Tune-filtered boys sound high AF over acoustic guitar licks and sped-up sprites. Rolling Stone mischaracterized ColleGrove as evoking Method Man & Redman, but there’s no tag-team interplay between Wayne and Chainz (tunes bifurcate verse-spitting to half a song apiece) and nothing as bouncy, humorous, or playful as on Doc & Mef’s Blackout or as adrenalizing as Like Father gem “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy.” Still, Weezy kills it desperado-style on the weirdo, crowd-roars-surfing “Bounce.” Aggressively rudimentary, ColleGrove grows on you.

— Michael Aushenker

A gray-skies compendium of gracefully dejected songs, A Moon Shaped Pool finds Radiohead playing to their most serene strengths. With creepy strings and toy-box gloom reminiscent of their OK Computer days, the album has all the sad sonics of their most nostalgic favorites but with none of the bombast. Recalling Portishead’s Third and the Liars’ catalog but so quintessentially Radiohead, it’s like moonlight on water: soft, elusive, mysterious, and hypnotic. “Decks Dark” is a beautiful dirge, while “Ful Stop” is a groovy panic-dance à la “The National Anthem,” and “Present Tense” is about as lovely as music gets. Rejoice in holy melancholy.

—Richie DeMaria

listen, liberal

The author of What’s the Matter with Kansas and Pity the Billionaire is back, and this time his sardonic and often acerbic focus is on the Democrats. Give Thomas Frank credit for impeccable timing. Listen, Liberal arrives as two very different candidates vie for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.

Hillary Clinton is the quintessential New Democrat, corporate-friendly, a staunch believer in meritocracy, and not afraid to bang the military’s drum in support of America’s interests abroad. Bernie Sanders, with his call for more equitable distribution of wealth, universal health care, and free college tuition, harks back to the FDR-New Deal-Great Society era that, Frank argues, the Democrats abandoned after George McGovern was crushed by Richard Nixon in 1972.

Frank traces the Democratic Party’s pivot away from organized labor, the New Deal, and economic egalitarianism and toward ideas and policies — best exemplified by Gary Hart and later the Democratic Leadership Council and Bill Clinton — that favored the professional classes and boasted an unwavering faith in meritocracy. The party’s decision to move away from its traditional constituencies and policy prescriptions was deliberate, and one consequence of the shift was, as Frank writes, to leave a swath of working people behind: “... if we want to understand what has wrecked the Democratic Party as a populist alternative, however, what we need to scrutinize is more like the Ten Percent, the apex of the country’s hierarchy of professional status.”

One thing the Democrats perceived with remarkable clarity when they turned toward the professional class was that their former constituents had nowhere else to go; given the stranglehold that the Republicans and Democrats have on the machinery of democracy, the chance of an alternate party springing up to represent working people was nil. So, as Frank details, Democratic voters elected candidates who spoke in echoes of the old era but, once in office, supported policies (trade deals like NAFTA, financial deregulation, etc.) that largely betrayed the interests of common people.

This is why Listen, Liberal matters: It’s about the deliberate turning away from core values and issues and toward the neoliberalism peddled by the Clintons and other corporate Democrats. People need to understand what has happened, and Frank puts it in context. Whether we like his analysis or not is open for debate.

JUMP, JIVE, AND WAIL: Royal Jelly Jive loves the ocean as much as they love a good time. They will raise funds for outdoor education for the Wilderness Youth Project at SOhO tonight.

Gyspy Jazz and santa Cruz Country

by Richie DeMaria JIVING BY THE SEA: At the end of the swinging San Francisco soul-rockBig Easy-gypsy-jazz band Royal Jelly Jive’s Humboldt Live Sessions video, singer Lauren Bjelde holds up the feathery blades of a large branch of Pterygophora seaweed. “Ptery, like the Latin root, ‘wings’—it actually is a winged kelp,” said the top-hatted master diver and smoky-voiced chanteuse as she swayed with the sand-anchored stalk.“The stalk is really thick, so in a current you can really hold onto it when you’re counting fish.”

Bjelde, a student of anthropology who has explored sunken ships and deep reefs, is drawn to the mysterious and murky qualities of the sea. An always-costumed group whose songs robustly pulse with tales of seafarers, wayfarers, and partiers, Royal Jelly Jive loves a bit of whimsy and wildspiritedness. They are known for their now annual Spirit Ball, where each member dresses as her or his spirit animal, and many of the first songs on their self-titled debut album take direct inspiration from Bjelde’s aquatic explorations. “The ‘Pterygophora’ bass line was literally inspired by a jelly polyp organism floating by,” Bjelde said.“The whole concept of the ebb and flow just on the surface, or the ocean being one drop in a changing thing, it’s a thing that I can get very Zen about.”

With their ocean-loving ways, the very lively Royal Jelly Live make for a great fit at the Cabin By the Sea series tonight, Thursday, May 12, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) at 9 p.m., hosted by Santa Barbara’s environmentally attuned singer/songwriter and concert series founder Erisy Watt; We Are Humans also join. Proceeds for the night’s events help out the Wilderness Youth Project, which connects children with outdoors experiences.

On Royal Jelly Jive’s upcoming album, Stand Up, the effusively festive six-piece takes a more upfront stance toward taking action. While most of Bjelde’s most explicitly conservationist lyrics will likely show up in solo efforts, like her unreleased song “Fisherman’s Lament,” the new album is about enacting change through community spiritedness. “It’s about standing up for who you are, standing up for the community and the people around you, and love,” she said of the new album. Royal Jelly Jive worked on Stand Up at Prairie Sun Recording Studio in Cotati, California, where the legendary Tom Waits — one of the band’s music heroes — laid down tracks before.

If the band were to curate their own party, said accordionist Jesse Lemme Adams, it would have endless supplies of hot toddies (Bjelde’s favorite) and, with surreal costumes and Edison lightbulbs, the whimsy and high energy that is “in the bones of our music and our vibe and energy.” Bring your best dancing boots and costumed attire, as this Jive is sure to be a jamming one.

A DIME A BAKER’S DOZEN: Who says Friday the 13th has to be a bad day?

Raise a glass to reversing superstitions on Friday, when The Carolyn Sills Combo, who will get toes tapping alongside taps pouring, plays the S.B. outpost of the Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company (137 Anacapa St.) from 6-9 p.m. At the Combo’s core is husband-wife duo Carolyn Sills and Gerard Egan, who left the winds of Chicago for the beaches of Santa Cruz, where they founded Santa Cruz Guitar Company. Some may know Egan from his days with the famous Guns N’ Roses cover band Mr. Brownstone. This is Santa Cruz–style country music—imagine a somewhat psychedelic Patsy Cline on a surfboard. With award nominations as one of the top Western swing groups in the country, the Combo—whose new album, Dime Stories Vol. 2, drops May 27—will make for a plenty enjoyable accompaniment to a round of Hoppy Poppies. n

a&e | FILM & TV cont’d froM P. 63 Mother’s Day (118 mins., PG-13)

In director Garry Marshall’s third foray into the holiday-as-film genre that he pioneered, a slew of familiar faces — Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, and Kate Hudson, to name a few — grapple with different Mother’s Day dilemmas: learning how to share the holiday with your ex-husband’s young new wife, quell pre-marriage jitters due to unresolved mommy issues, deal with the first Mother’s Day after your mother has passed away, etc. While Mother’s Day is chockfull of reliably winning actors, the script feels too emotionally preposterous and stilted to let its movie stars truly shine.

(NC) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Sing Street

SCREENINGS SBIFF’s The Wave Film Festival The Santa Barbara International Film Festival presents myriad films from Pan-Asia.

Thu.-Sun., May 12-15, Riviera

NOW SHOWING Captain America: Civil War (146 mins., PG-13)

Certainly the most complicated of the Marvel chronicles, this movie almost sinks in the first half under the turgid load of “issues,” and mostly that old Übermensch versus the Establishment stuff that defines almost all Marvel comic storylines. Then about halfway through the film, Tony Stark goes to visit the brand-new Peter Parker, followed by a brilliantly staged battle in an airport between the Avengers who want to cooperate with authority and those who seek freedom from any government. In the end, the movie provides us with a couple of shockers to match the fun, and those who fell asleep in the first half hour will wake refreshed, dying to see more, but also the Spiderman movies to come. (DJP) Arlington (2D)/ Camino Real (2D and 3D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

Dough (94 mins., NR) A Jewish baker is having a difficult time keeping his business afloat until, in a quirky twist of fate, his young Muslim apprentice accidentally drops marijuana into the dough resulting in a massive uptick in sales.

Plaza de Oro 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) Metro 4 Finding Mr. Right 2 (132 mins., NR) This sequel to the original Finding Mr. Right sees the Beijing-Seattle couple fall in love all over again. This time the film

looks at the families — and life and love in foreign countries.

Fiesta 5 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 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) Metro 4

Papa: Hemingway in Cuba (109 mins., R)

Based on a true story, this tale of hero worship and the mercurial state of “things Hemingway” toward the end of his life comes at its task with good intentions and cred intact: Denne Bart Petitclerc, a Hemingway acolyte who befriended “Papa” in his life’s selfimposed twilight — as well as the historical tipping point into Castro’s Cuba — penned the script but died in 2006.

Unfortunately, in the finished film, uneven acting and script structure, and general cinematic lassitude, squanders a potentially fascinating slice of literarycultural life. The old man by the sea issues his legendary minimalist ethos, “the power of less,” mantra-like, but this film’s bounty of “less” is anything but more. (JW) Riviera (Shows Mon.-Thu. only)

O Sing Street O The Jungle Book

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

Keanu (100 mins., R) Comedy duo Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have given up their rich television skit trove for the big screen, and the result is surprisingly okay. The story opens with assassins who have ripped off a drug lord and let loose an incredibly cute kitten that winds up at the home of Peele’s character and becomes his obsession. When another drug gang steals the kitty (named Keanu), our heroes, stereotypical nerds, traverse the dark criminal underbelly to save their cat. Most of the humor results from the juxtaposition of cute and hostile, and the movie has a few funny moments, such as Peele’s character convincing a carload of thugs that George Michael ought to be their jam. (DJP)

(106 mins., PG-13)

Irish boy in high school (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) meets lovely Irish girl (Lucy Boynton). Boy forms band to impress would-be lover/video starlet. The band’s chirpy, hooky sound is better than he or any of the rest of us expect — as is this charmer, the latest in the sparkling track record of Irish writer/director John (Once) Carney, who channels a semi-autobiographical storyline. Moments along the way remind of the 1979 Roger Corman/ Allan Arkush B-movie classic Rock ’n’ Roll High School, but minus the cheeky B-factor, and with ’80s hair-band sincerity instead of Ramones-y snark. In all, it’s the good kind of feel-good movie, squarely in the category of Once-y warm fuzzies. (JW) Paseo Nuevo

O Zootopia

(108 mins.; PG)

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

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

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of may 12 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Russian writer Anton Chekhov was renowned for the crisp, succinct style of his short stories and plays. As he evolved, his pithiness grew. “I now have a mania for shortness,” he wrote. “Whatever I read — my own work, or other people’s — it all seems to me not short enough.” I propose that we make Chekhov your patron saint for a while. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are in a phase when your personal power feeds on terse efficiency. You thrive on being vigorously concise and deftly focused and cheerfully devoted to the crux of every matter.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” Approximately 30,000 sites on the Internet attribute that quote to iconic genius Albert Einstein. But my research strongly suggests that he did not actually say that. Who did? It doesn’t matter. For the purposes of this horoscope, there are just two essential points to concentrate on. First, for the foreseeable future, your supreme law of life should be “creativity is intelligence having fun.” Second, it’s not enough to cavort and play and improvise, and it’s not enough to be discerning and shrewd and observant. Be all those things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Western culture, the peacock is a symbol of vanity. When we see the bird display its stunning array of iridescent feathers, we might think it’s lovely but may also mutter, “What a show-off.” But other traditions have treated the peacock as a more purely positive emblem: an embodiment of hard-won and triumphant radiance. In Tibetan Buddhist myths, for example, its glorious plumage is said to be derived from its transmutation of the poisons it absorbs when it devours dangerous serpents. This version of the peacock is your power animal for now, Gemini. Take full advantage of your ability to convert noxious situations and fractious emotions into beautiful assets.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Clear moments are so short,” opines poet Adam Zagajewski. “There is much more dark-

ness. More ocean than terra firma. More shadow than form.” Here’s what I have to say about that: Even if it does indeed describe the course of ordinary life for most people, it does not currently apply to you. On the contrary, you’re in a phase that will bring an unusually high percentage of lucidity. The light shining from your eyes and the thoughts coalescing in your brain will be extra pure and bright. In the world around you, there may be occasional patches of chaos and confusion, but your luminosity will guide you through them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Smart Operator: My name is Captain Jonathan Orances. I presently serve in the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.

I am asking for your help with the safekeeping of a trunk containing funds in the amount of $7.9 million, which I secured during our team’s raid of a poppy farmer in Kandahar Province. The plan is to ship this box to Luxembourg, and from there a diplomat will deliver it to your designated location. When I return home on leave, I will take possession of the trunk. You will be rewarded handsomely for your assistance. If you can be trusted, send me your details. Best regards, Captain Jonathan Orances.”You may receive a tempting but risky offer like this in the near future, Leo. I suggest you turn it down. If you do, I bet a somewhat less interesting but far less risky offer will come your way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Some things need to be fixed, others to be left broken,” writes poet James Richardson. The coming weeks will be an ideal time for you to make final decisions about which are which in your own life. Are there relationships and dreams and structures that are either too damaged to salvage or undeserving of your hard labor? Consider the possibility that you will abandon them for good. Are there relationships and dreams and structures that are cracked but possible to repair and worthy of your diligent love? Make a plan to revive or reinvent them.

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Once every year, it is healthy and wise to make an ultimate confession—to express everything you regret and bemoan in one cathartic swoop, and then be free of its subliminal nagging for another year. The coming days will be a perfect time to do this. For inspiration, read an excerpt from Jeanann Vernee’s “Genetics of Regret”: “I’m sorry I lied. Sorry I drew the picture of the dead cat. I’m sorry about the stolen tampons and the nest of mice in the stove. I’m sorry about the slashed window screens. I’m sorry it took 36 years to say this. Sorry that all I can do is worry what happens next. Sorry for the weevils and the dead grass. Sorry I vomited in the wash drain. Sorry I left.

Sorry I came back. I’m sorry it comes like this. Flood and undertow.”

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Rebecca Solnit says that when she pictures herself as she was at age 15, “I see flames shooting up, see myself falling off the edge of the world, and am amazed I survived not the outside world but the inside one.” Let that serve as an inspiration, Capricorn. Now is an excellent time for you to celebrate the heroic, messy, improbable victories of your past. You are ready and ripe to honor the crazy intelligence and dumb luck that guided you as you fought to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. You have a right and a duty to congratulate yourself for the suffering you have escaped and inner demons you have vanquished.

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to the British podcast series No Such Thing as a Fish, there were only a few satisfying connubial relationships in late 18th-century England. One publication at that time declared that of the country’s 872,564 married couples, just nine were truly happy. I wonder if the percentage is higher for modern twosomes. Whether it is or not, I have good news: My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you Scorpios will have an unusually good chance of cultivating vibrant intimacy in the coming weeks.

Take advantage of this grace period, please!

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “To regain patience, learn to love the sour, the bitter, the salty, the clear.” The poet James Richardson wrote that wry advice, and now I’m passing it on to you. Why now? Because if you enhance your appreciation for the sour, the bitter, the salty, and the clear, you will not only regain patience but also generate unexpected opportunities. You will tonify your mood, beautify your attitude, and deepen your gravitas. So I hope you will invite and welcome the lumpy and the dappled, my dear. I hope you’ll seek out the tangy, the smoldering, the soggy, the spunky, the chirpy, the gritty, and an array of other experiences you may have previously kept at a distance.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some days I feel like playing it smooth,” says a character in Raymond Chandler’s short story “Trouble Is My Business,” “and some days I feel like playing it like a waffle iron.” I suspect that you Sagittarians will be in the latter phase until at least May 24. It won’t be prime time for silky strategies and glossy gambits and velvety victories. You’ll be better able to take advantage of fate’s fabulous farces if you’re geared up for edgy lessons and checkered challenges and intricate motifs.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.” That’s from a Coleman Barks translation of a poem by the 13thcentury Islamic scholar and mystic known as Rumi. I regard this epigram as a key theme for you during the next 12 months. You will be invited to shed a host of wishy-washy wishes so as to become strong and smart enough to go in quest of a very few burning, churning yearnings. Are you ready to sacrifice the mediocre in service to the sublime?
