For many years, ceramicist Armando de la Rocha has been jumping off the pottery wheel on his Santa Barbara Street porch to paint our Indy Awards, which were given out to the S.B. theater world’s brightest stars this past Monday. An artist in town since 1997, De la Rocha, who is originally from Guadalajara, also teaches at Roosevelt and Crane schools, and has worked the kilns at SBCC over the years, as well. You can find his Mexican-influenced, skeleton-laden pottery down at the beach show on Cabrillo Boulevard every Sunday, or see him in action tonight, Thursday, May 26, when he’s conquering clay outside of the Granada Theatre from 5-8:30 p.m. as part of Santa Barbara Downtown’s Live Art & Wine Tour.

Jay Freeman for Third District County Supervisor What differentiates Jay from the other candidates?

Jay has spent months both attending and participating in meetings of the current Board of Supervisors. This experience as a member of the public will let him “hit the ground running” and has made him painfully aware of how hard it can be in the audience. He sees what is wrong with this status quo, especially for our unincorporated communities, and has concrete plans for how things can be improved. Also, by running a selffunded campaign, he can speak the truth and represent everyone.

What professional experience does Jay have?

Jay has a background teaching at the University of California and is the developer of Cydia, the alternative to Apple’s App Store used by tens of millions of people around the world on “jailbroken” iPhones. He spent his time educating people about current issues in copyright law and how to get their opinions heard by government to see the changes they desire.

★★★ Endorsements ★★★

June 2016 Primary

24th Congressional District: Salud Carbajal

For the past 18 years, Santa Barbara has been tirelessly represented in Congress by Democrat Lois Capps. Of the nine candidates running to fill her seat, only two merit consideration: Salud Carbajal and S.B. Mayor Helene Schneider. Of the two, Carbajal brings the skill set best attuned to the demands of the position. As a county supervisor, he was a reliable vote for major environmental initiatives, health care for poor kids, and changes to the county’s mental-health system. When it came to county budget shortfalls, he insisted the pain be shared by all departments, even public safety. When it’s come to helping constituents, few supervisors have ever worked harder. Today, Carbajal has raised more money than Schneider and nailed down far more big-name endorsements, including the much admired Lois Capps. Carbajal can be counted on to support an environmental and socially progressive agenda and possesses the demonstrated political skills to win in November and represent us well in Congress.

1st District: Das Williams

Das Williams’s loud and proud brand of green politics is a good fit for the 1st Supervisorial District, encompassing Carpinteria, Summerland, Montecito, Mission Canyon, Cuyama, and half the City of Santa Barbara. There’s no question Williams, who has served on the S.B. City Council and in the State Assembly, understands the chessboard of S.B. politics and how the pieces move far better than most. We know he can be effective on the board because he was effective in Sacramento. There, he fought for laws to combat the effects of climate change, got Governor Jerry Brown to sign a bill giving Isla Vista a shot at self-governance, and pushed to reform the sometimes screwy 9-1-1 routing system. His wide experience and advocacy for vital issues facing Santa Barbara, along with his extensive understanding of all layers of government, will be of great benefit for the whole county.

3rd District: Joan Hartmann

Of the five candidates vying for this open seat, Buellton resident Joan Hartmann is by far the most qualified to represent the 3rd District, which includes diverse and conflicting constitu-

e Tak you h wiTo The T lls! po

encies from Isla Vista, western Goleta, and the Santa Ynez Valley. Hartmann has served with distinction the last three years on the county’s Planning Commission. She was also one of the citizen activists who enacted strict sprawl controls for the City of Buellton, and she engaged in the complex water politics of the Santa Ynez Valley. We’re confident Hartmann’s will be a strong but quiet voice against new oil development and for preservation of the Gaviota Coast. When it comes to balancing the desire for special events and wine tasting rooms against neighborhood peace and preservation, we believe she will be an honest broker. Of all the districts, the 3rd needs someone immediately conversant in the boring but crucial minutia of government administration. Hartmann is.

State Assembly: S. Monique Limón

Monique Limón has been blessed with natural political skills and a work ethic that won’t quit. While on the school board, she exhibited keen interest in new legislation in Sacramento that affected education. When she goes to Sacramento, Limón will be able to craft such bills herself.

State Senate: Hannah-Beth Jackson

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, the Democratic firebrand now enjoying a most productive political reincarnation, has served in the Assembly before, got termed out, and is now back and kicking serious ass, most famously passing a wage-equity law. Dust doesn’t have time to settle when Jackson’s in the Senate. Keep her there.

Yes on Proposition 50: Pay Suspension for State Legislators Should state legislators suspended from office after being convicted of crimes still be allowed to draw their salary of $95,000 a year? Obviously not, but it happened three times in 2014.

Proposition 50 sets out to fix that. For implementation to occur, two-thirds of the legislative body must vote to suspend the pay of an errant member. That may not be perfect, but if it makes lawmakers think twice about crossing the line, it’s good enough.

Congress: Salud Carbajal 1st District Supervisor: Das Williams 3rd District Supervisor: Joan Hartmann 4th District Supervisor: No Endorsement State Assembly: S. Monique Limón State Senate: Hannah-Beth Jackson Proposition 50 (Pay Suspension for State Legislators): Yes

news briefs law & disorder

A Santa Maria jury on 5/18 convicted Humberto Carranza, 24, and Cameron Jones, 27, of an array of human trafficking charges related to prostituting a teenager at motels in the Central Coast city. They each face a maximum of nearly 15 years in prison at their 7/21 sentencing in front of Judge John McGregor. Last October, both men rented motel rooms where customers came to have sex with a 16-year-old female victim, for whom Carranza acted as a pimp.

Pierre Haobsh, accused of the Han family’s murder, returned to court for a 5/24 hearing. His first time in Judge Brian Hill’s courtroom and his first appearance in orange jail garb, Haobsh spoke only to his defense attorney Christine Voss. No facts of the potential death-penalty case were shared, and no litigation took place between Voss and prosecutors Hilary Dozer and Ben Ladinig. The case returns to court on 6/21.

HAPPY DAYS: Sheriff Bill Brown celebrated this week’s vote to approve the new North County Jail.

Jail All but Approved $80 Million Deadline Only Months Away

by N i c k W e l s h

y no stretch of imagination does Sheriff Bill Brown resemble Captain Ahab, the vengeanceobsessed, one-legged sea captain out of Moby-Dick. And certainly, the proposed new North County jail can never be confused for any great white whale.

But by the strained standards of Santa Barbara county government, they’re close enough. And as of late Monday morning, Sheriff Brown —after eight years —had finally caught up with his personal Moby-Dick.

Culminating a four-hour special meeting, the county supervisors voted 4-1 to affirm their prior commitment to building a new North County jail despite recent revelations that the out-of-pocket costs to Santa Barbara County taxpayers will be $15 million more than expected. Even for the largest public works project in county history, that’s a lot of money.

Going into Monday’s meeting, the outcome seemed very much in doubt. This April, the supervisors learned that the three construction bids for the new jail came in $11 million over what project managers had estimated. With ancillary other costs factored in, that translates to a $14.7 million wide gap.

Although the county will still receive $80 million in state grants to build the jail, the higher bids mean the county will have to pony up 22 percent of the construction costs rather than

the 10 percent Sheriff Brown had long assured the supervisors.

No one, he told the supervisors, was more upset than he was that the bids came in so high. The price of steel had gone up; the economic recovery had driven up the cost of labor; big-time contractors were so busy that only three bids were submitted. But even so, he insisted, the deal still remained too good to walk away from. “It’s like we had a 90 percent discount that just got dropped to 78 percent,” he said in a recent interview. “It’s still the best deal to build the new jail. And it won’t ever get any better.”

After preaching to the supervisors about the redemptive power of jails—many people don’t turn their lives around, he said, until they experience the rock bottom of jail time —Brown exhorted the supervisors to act. The deadline to sign on the dotted line for the $80 million in state grant money was only a couple of months away.“If not now, when?” he asked.“If not us, who?”

It was Supervisor Salud Carbajal who made the motion in favor of Brown’s jail right off the bat.“We’re really between a rock and a hard place,” he lamented.“We have no choice.”

To collect that $80 million, the county must sign a contract with state corrections early this August. According to the fine print of the supervisors’ vote, that contract will be signed in June.

Even before the bad news about the bids first surfaced, some supervisors had been struggling with chronic sticker shock over the $18 million a year the county will have to spend—out of its general fund—to staff and operate the new jail. (That’s in addition to the $41 million spent annually on the existing facility.) The news also surfaced at a time when relations between Brown and the supervisors had grown especially strained.

But even the new jail’s staunchest advocate, 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, was given serious pause by how far off the county estimates were. “If we’re that off on operating costs, there’s no recovering from this,” he said.

By any reckoning, the county’s existing detention facility has long qualified as a “franken-jail,” a hodgepodge of mismatched pods and wings crazy-quilted together over five decades. In the past 25 years, at least 20 grand juries and one specially convened Blue Ribbon commission have concluded the main jail was too small, dangerously overcrowded, broken down, and unsafe for prisoners, guards, and the public alike. In 1981, criminal defense attorney Bob Sanger took the jail to court, charging that overcrowded conditions constituted cruel and unusual punishment.

In 1986, a Superior Court judge, William Gordon, ruled Sanger was right and ordered the jail to clean up its act. cont’d page 12 

The controversial new film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe drew hundreds of concerned parents last weekend to the Riviera Theatre, where producer, writer, and film subject Del Bigtree fielded questions about the 90-minute documentary covering corruption at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the nation’s largest public health institution.

At the core of Vaxxed is CDC whistleEx-pharma rep Brandy Vaughan (left) and blower Dr. William Thompson, who in Vaxxed producer Del Bigtree 2014 released a statement admitting (and regretting) that he and fellow authors of a 2004 article in the medical journal Pediatrics left out significant information that “suggested that African American males who received the MMR [measles, mumps, and rubella] vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.”

Bigtree reminded audiences that Vaxxed is not anti-vaccine but an exposé of that flawed safety study and the subsequent cover-up alleged by Thompson. The film also features parents’ stories of their healthy babies and toddlers who lost acquired speech, walking abilities, and affectionate eye contact very soon after getting vaccinated. During a Q&A after a May 21 screening, Bigtree said, “Thousands of parents are telling the same story.”

“CDC shares with parents … great concern about the number of children with autism,” said CDC spokesperson Sharon Hoskins in response to questions specifically about Dr. Thompson, via email. “CDC is committed to continuing to provide essential data on autism, search for factors that put children at risk … and look for possible causes.”

Joining Bigtree on stage was Brandy Vaughan, a UCSB graduate and former Merck pharmaceutical sales rep who said she left the industry during controversies surrounding Vioxx, a painkiller that was recalled in 2004 after it was revealed that Merck had silenced a report on its health risk, leading to thousands of deaths.

“One of the messages of Vaxxed is that it’s important for people to understand that the health-care system in the United States is a business, and we shouldn’t trust it blindly,” said Vaughan, founder of LearnTheRisk.org and the Council for Vaccine Safety.

Earlier this year, Vaughan spoke out against SB 277. Starting July 1, 2016, the controversial law requires schoolchildren to be inoculated against 10 commonly targeted diseases — and “any other disease deemed appropriate” — regardless of personal concerns or religious beliefs. Medical exemptions are still allowed.

With the 2016-17 school year right around the corner, Vaughan said she sees “a lot of parents freaking out because vaccine injuries are far more common than people think. I see families moving out of the state. I see more families opting for home school.”

lofty Goals Two Years in, Pescadero Lofts Houses 35 Formerly Homeless

S

by M A c WA l b y mack in the middle of Isla Vista, sandwiched between sorority houses, dorms, and student co-ops, the Pescadero Lofts stands out as one of the newest buildings in the neighborhood. From the outside, you’d have no idea it houses 35 formerly homeless I.V. residents.

By the end of 2014, the lofts were coming together under a perfect storm of coincidences and good luck. Union Bank had purchased the property a few years prior from Isla Vista’s redevelopment agency shortly before it dissolved, and then the bank partnered with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara to honor the existing condition that the land be used to house the homeless.

What used to be a fraternity house was flattened, with a state-of-the-art facility built right on top of the old foundation. A home investment partnership provided the funding, a combination of federal and local tax credits for reinvestment projects. The Pescadero Lofts ended up costing just over $10 million: enough to build 26 rooms, over 30 parking spaces, a locked bike storage facility, and even a computer lab.

Dr. Jennifer Ferraez is the live-in resident manager, as well as the case manager for many of the loft’s residents. One of two employees on-site, Ferraez says the longer someone is homeless, the harder it is to bring them back into “regular” society.“The longer folks are out there, the more trauma they suf suffer,” she says. “They’re just so vulnerable on the streets.” One resident had been homeless for 36 years before moving in.

Every year, the Central Coast Collaborative on Homelessness (C3H) counts the homeless population in Isla Vista. In 2011, there were 32 people living on the streets. Just two years after the lofts opened, that number has dropped to 19.

Father Jon-Stephen Hedges works on-site with the residents, helping them with everything from finding the right support services to teaching new residents how to use the microwave and shower handle. “What if we were able to provide that one piece that was missing from that human being — which is shelter,” Hedges said. “When people first opened their doors, some of them cried.”

Doctors Without Walls, a branch of Santa Barbara Street Medicine, comes in once a week to provide basic health-care services.

HIT HARD: Lofts resident Tony Ogozalek (left) became homeless after battling cancer and Santa Barbara’s housing market.

Weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are hosted. There are even cooking-on-abudget courses. UCSB computer classes send volunteers to help get residents up and running in the digital world. The new skills give them access to basic things most people take for granted: a bank account, mailing address, and Facebook profile to find family members.

Tony Ogozalek, one of nine veterans living at the lofts, has been there since it opened.

“I’d lived under every bush and rock before getting here,” he said.“It was just a great experience to move in.” After serving in Vietnam, Ogozalek came home to an inflated housing market in already expensive Santa Barbara.

After working as a firefighter for two years, an injury forced him to retire. His biggest struggle would be with lymphoma, a major factor in his ending up on the streets. But he’s found somewhere he belongs at the Lofts. “I just look at this as home,” he said.

The neighbors can help out, with community members able to “adopt” a room to outfit with furniture, cooking equipment, and basic housing supplies for new residents.

UCSB’s Pi Beta Phi sorority adopted a few and sent volunteers to assist the Lofts. Banks, churches, and many local residents joined in the effort to get residents on their feet.

The Pescadero Lofts use a “housing-first” model, the only of its kind in Santa Barbara.

This means potential residents only need an identification card and birth certificate to qualify, something groups like the Housing Authority help them obtain. This is wildly different from most homeless centers, where residents are required to jump through various hoops before being invited in.

“The elderly, people who are sick or mentally ill, have substance-abuse problems ... something really out of their control,” said Luke Barrett of C3H,“they took these people right off the street and let them live there.”

For example, drug addicts must be treated before being allowed into most programs.

But housing-first models like the Lofts give them a place to live first, and then worries about how to help the potential addict get clean.

It’s a long-standing debate in social work with the homeless, but the Lofts’ staff fully supports such programs. As Barrett said, “If you can just take them and bring them in, then you can bring in the support around them.” n

‘farm labor camp’ Would shelter 600 by k e N N y l i N d b e r G ,

Santa Maria tiMeS

“farm labor camp” capable of housing up to 600 workers under the federal H-2A program could be built near Santa Maria if the County Planning Commission approves a conditional use permit at its next meeting.

The site, also known as the Curletti Farm Employee Housing Project, but referred to as a “farm labor camp” by staff, would consist of 30 bunkhouses at full build-out, capable of providing sleeping quarters and bathing facilities for 20 laborers each, according to a county report.

Geographically, the project is located west of Orcutt, at 3650 Highway 1, approximately one mile northwest of the intersection of Highway 1 and Black Road. Each bunkhouse is 1,443 square feet in size and includes four lavatories, two toilets, and two showers. Three common houses, providing cooking and laundry areas for 200 laborers each, are also included in the proposal. While a maximum of 600 workers could live at the site at any one time, the agent for the project, David Swenk, predicted that the average occupancy would be 450 workers, according to county staff.

The H-2A program allows employers who meet specific regulatory requirements to bring foreign nationals to the country to fill temporary agricultural jobs, provided they file the necessary forms on behalf of a prospective worker, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. H-2A 12

workers are not considered undocumented.

In accordance with the H-2A program, the applicant and owner Robert Ferini, of Betteravia Properties, would provide his farmworkers with the necessary transportation needed to get to and from the workplace. “The primary method of transportation for H-2A employees will be school-type buses to [and] from work, and a combination of buses and vans for lower occupancy, personal need trips,” said Angela Ruberto of Tartaglia Engineering in a letter to Swenk.

“Since employees within the H-2A designation are not authorized to have personal vehicles, the area roads will realize a net reduction in total vehicle traffic involved with the applicant’s operations,” Ruberto said.

The anticipated work schedule is MondayFriday, starting at 5 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., Ruberto said. “A typical harvest day starts very early when ambient air temperature is cool,” Ruberto said. “The goal is to have the product picked, packaged in the field, and into the cooler before peak daily temperatures are realized.”

Each worker would be provided three personal-need trips per week, which Ruberto predicts will require 36 bus trips and 32 van trips per week. The project also requires one manager to live on-site and one full-time maintenance worker responsible for routine maintenance and repairs. The Santa Barbara County Planning Commission is set to discuss the issue June 1 in Santa Barbara. n independent.com

Jail cont’d from p.9

Sanger filed his initial complaint on behalf of a hapless — but lethal — hitman from Seattle, who died in custody several years ago.

The lawsuit filed in his name, however, still lives on. Two times — in 2000 and 2010 — voters were asked to tax themselves to build a new jail that would make the lawsuit go away.

Both proposals lost big. Former sheriff Jim Thomas, who hatched the 2000 effort, joked, “I don’t think my own wife voted for it.”

Things have changed a lot since then. Sheriff Brown was elected in 2007, mostly on the promise he would deliver a new jail or die trying. In 2010, he took a half-cent sales tax to the voters — that would also pay for counseling and rehabilitations programs designed to cut inmate recidivism. Jails are a hard sell anytime, but in a recession, they’re impossible.

The ballot measure was crushed.

This Monday, Brown was taking no chances. He packed the house with enough law enforcement brass — mostly from North County — to declare a state of siege. Without a jail of their own, they complained, their officers had to drive prisoners to Santa Barbara, book them at the County Jail, and then drive back. All this took a minimum of three hours.

That’s three hours a sworn officer could otherwise be on patrol.

Construction union representatives, contractors, and pro-business political agitators like Andy Caldwell of COLAB (Coalition of Labor, Agriculture and Business) and Joe Armendariz of the County Taxpayers Association turned up the heat. The jail, they argued, meant jobs.

The target of all this was 4th District Supervisor Peter Adam, who has never been shy about expressing his antipathy for Sheriff Brown. Although a hard-line, pro-business conservative, Adam has been sharply critical of Brown — personally and politically — as well as the sheriff’s jail proposals. Adam made it clear early on he wouldn’t support any jail project unless the state corrections agency issuing the grant agreed to make up the $14.7 million difference. That state agency made it clear it had no intention of doing so. Likewise, its representatives stated, any major design changes that reduced the number of beds in the new jail as part of a plan to cut costs would also imperil funding.

Brown’s onetime campaign manager Lanny Ebenstein wrote an op-ed trashing Adam — a fiscal tightwad and governmental minimalist — for not looking out for North County interests. This broadside infuriated Adam, who took heated exception to allegations that he was somehow “responsible or soft on crime” because of his position on the jail. Far more persuasive were the one-onmeetings between Adam and former sheriff Jim Thomas and Judge (and former county supervisor) Tim Staffel — conservatives in good standing — who argued the new jail was direly needed. Adam, considered a surefire “no” vote going into the meeting, wound up surprising everyone and voted for the jail. “I have been convinced that the value exceeds the cost.”

County bean counters devised an ingenious strategy to bridge the $14.7 million gap without dipping into the county’s strategic

reserves or going into debt to pay for bonds, either of which would have triggered Adam’s “no” vote. Instead, the supervisors approved a plan to borrow $12.2 million from a fund they’d been building a few million bucks a year for the past five years so that when the jail opened, the $18 million needed for operating costs had been squirreled away. Because the bids went out a year later than scheduled, the jail’s opening will be set back at least a year, allowing the county to borrow from that kitty.

Going into the meeting, 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr was considered a certain “no” vote, as well. She did not budge and cast the sole “no” vote. In the past year, Farr has grown considerably more outspoken in her opposition to locking up the mentally ill, the homeless, and the addicted. If they were treated, rather than incarcerated, the jail wouldn’t be so crowded, she argued, and the cost to the county would be considerably lower. In addition, Farr has claimed that the high bails levied by Santa Barbara judges — among the highest in the state — contribute to jail overcrowding. Bail reform, she’s contended, needs to be explored. In addition, Farr suggested Santa Barbara County should explore leasing jail space from Kern County — which apparently has an abundance of empty cells — for its prisoners. The cost, she suggested, would be far less.

Farr also objected that with or without the new jail, the existing jail needs $10 million in repairs over the next three years, $15 million in the next five. Where was that money coming from? she asked.

Joining Farr in her concerns about incarcerating the mentally ill were supervisors Carbajal and Janet Wolf. Wolf was especially vocal in urging more county resources — land and bond rating — be used to augment the number of psychiatric hospital beds — only 16 now — and facilities for mentally ill children. The county, she objected, spent millions shipping its mentally ill to facilities beyond the county line because there weren’t places to put them in Santa Barbara. Supervisor Lavagnino responded that the Behavioral Wellness Department spends $100 million a year, arguing that stinginess is not the issue plaguing the mental-health system.

The new jail will be licensed for a maximum load of 376 inmates. It will take roughly one-third the county’s inmate population.

The existing jail is licensed for 818 but frequently runs in excess of 1,000. It will take two-thirds. Brown stressed the new facility will have 32 beds dedicated to the mentally ill and those in need of medical treatment.

Programming will be provided, he said, to help inmates not re-offend, thus reducing recidivism rates.

Farr wanted to know what kind of programming would be provided. She wanted to know how much it would cost and where the money would come from. For those questions, there were no answers. The matter will next be addressed during the supervisors’ budget deliberations in the coming month.

To celebrate, Sheriff Brown and crew went to Judge for Yourself and feasted on cheesen burgers and diet sodas.

rising ising from the Ashes

community

by M e l i N d A b u r N s ow does a community rise from the ashes of tragedy to make itself anew? That was the question for young and old as they came together to voice their fervent hopes for a safer and more peaceful future. “The Beloved Community,” the title of the first annual Isla Vista Conference, was held partly at UCSB’s Embarcadero Hall, the very site where rioting students burned down the Bank of America in 1970, enraged by the Vietnam War, the draft, and their own disenfranchisement.

The weekend event, named for the phrase Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. used to describe a just community, was dedicated to the memory of the six UCSB students who were murdered in Isla Vista on May 23, 2014. The killer also shot himself. “It’s been two years — a breath and a blink,” said Melissa Cohen, general manager of the Isla Vista Food Cooperative, who told the audience she had spent half of her 34 years in the community. “I hope we can keep telling the story,” she said. “That’s what will keep the memory of not just the six, but the seven, alive.”

Recalling the chaotic 1970 Year of Rebellion, the bank was “the biggest capitalist thing” in Isla Vista, said Dick Flacks, a UCSB professor emeritus of sociology, speaking to an audience of about 30 people on Saturday. But in the aftermath of vandalism, riots, beatings, arrests, and the police shooting of a UCSB student (the police called it accidental) came a “tremendous period of ferment and activity,” Flacks said. “The past two years reminds me of that time,” he said. “The spirit seems to come back whenever people are faced with a crisis that brings them together.”

In recalling the 2014 murders, UCSB Associated Students, the conference organizers, sought to celebrate what Victor Ríos, a UCSB sociologist and keynote speaker, called “collective effervescence” — the magic, he said, that happens when people listen to each other and work together. “In 2014, our community may have been victimized, but we have not allowed ourselves to become victims,” Ríos said. “Isla Vista can become a laboratory for change, a testing ground for a little utopia. Utopia doesn’t have to be massive. Maybe later we can scale it up.”

Many participants in the two-day conference spoke about their efforts to improve conditions for 15,000 Isla Vistans as a transformational experience. What happens in this student ghetto plagued by alcohol-fueled crime and overcrowded, dilapidated housing stock, they said, turns out to be just as important as what happens at the prestigious campus next door.

After the bank burning of 1970, Flacks and others recalled, the university poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into Isla Vista to help make amends. Permanent institutions were founded: among them, the Isla Vista credit union, the first of its kind in the nation; Isla Vista Foot Patrol, an early model

of community policing; and the Isla Vista Recreation & Park District, Tenants Union, and Isla Vista food and housing cooperatives. All of these institutions remain in operation today, stabilizing influences for a community in flux.

“Many people learned a great deal from their participation in this effort,” Flacks said. “I.V. became an educational

Sheriff’s Lieutenant Rob Plastino, the outgoing head of the Foot Patrol, spoke about his hopes for an Isla Vista where self-policing is the norm. “You have a right to party, sure, but within reason,” he said.“The cops aren’t needed if there are no large crowds. That’s where we want to go with this.”

Senior Sheriff’s Deputy James McKarrell, the Foot Patrol community liaison, said law enforcement officers have to change their tactics on the street.

They must explain why, for example, after arresting a young man for drunken behavior, they order him to sit down on the curb, McKarrell said: It’s to prevent him from running away and getting hurt. “The days of ‘Do what I say because I say it’ are gone,” he said.

“We’re contacting community members who rely on us, and we want them to trust us. Believe it or not, we’re family.”

During the past two years, again responding to a crisis after decades of neglect, UCSB has poured money into Isla Vista, buying the Tropicana apartment buildings for $156 million, beefing up the presence of university police, and pledging $1.4 million for new services over seven years, if the November ballot measure is approved. Forty percent of UCSB students live in Isla Vista.

Yet in the past, university support for Isla Vista has been sporadic, at best. An aging, inferior housing stock remains the 50-year legacy of the university’s early decision to cede ownership of the land to private real estate developers. Harris characterized UCSB’s record in Isla Vista as “a flurry of activity and engagement and money for a while, then waning of interest and withdrawal of money.” Flacks described it as “a roller coaster of engagement and disengagement over the years.”

But Paola Dela Cruz, who cochaired the weekend event for Associated Students, is optimistic. She hopes the university will consider setting up a center for community engagement in Isla Vista.“My future for Isla Vista is to look for more collaboration between faculty and community organizations,” she said.

On Saturday night, Isla Vista’s downtown park was filled with live blues music and illuminated, multicolored art installations for passersby to feast their eyes on. At 9 p.m., Plastino, who transfers out of the Foot Patrol on Tuesday after three years there, ordered the illumination of the Sheriff’s dive boat floating just offshore with a thousand blue LED lights. He said this “installation” was being called “Lt. Plastino’s Liquescent Lifeboat.”

Under a full moon, fittingly a blue moon, a flotilla of intrepid kayakers from UCSB’s Excursion Club, also outfitted with blue LEDs, performed a watercraft ballet in the swells near the dive boat, waving their lighted paddles at the shore. From the bluffs, a shout went up from a small crowd of onlookers, who signaled back with lighted cell phones. It was a hopeful moment, and it was pure I.V. Jay f r eem an

Conference Revisits Isla Vista’s Tumultuous History

‘in 2014, our community may have been victimized, but we have not allowed ourselves to become victims.’

— Victor ríos, ucsB professor framework in its effort to become a community.” In an election after the 1970s riots, he noted, it was Isla Vista students who crucially helped defeat the county sheriff who had dropped tear gas on them from helicopters. “From that day on, Isla Vista has understood that it can be a powerful voting bloc,” Flacks said.

Likewise, since the tragedy of 2014, the community has seen the advent of policing that engages both students and property owners in helping to quell the mega-parties that cause havoc on weekend nights. Residents have secured $500,000 in county funding toward the renovation of an abandoned church as a community center. In November, they will vote on the formation of a community services district, funded by a utility tax that is shared by students and landlords alike.

“Isla Vista is loved,” said Yonie Harris, a former Isla Vista activist and UCSB Dean of Students.“It’s a community that is open, generous, exuberant, and tolerant.”

Barking Loud

LAST-MINUTE DESpERATION: Sherlock Holmes famously fretted about “the dog that

didn’t bark,” but the dogs I worry most about are the ones barking in my face. The most obvious case in point is the $60,000 that an oil-industry front group — Keep Santa Barbara Working — announced it’s raising to get Santa Ynez businessman Bruce Porter elected as 3rd District Supervisor. Their timing was impeccably perverse, choosing May 19 — the anniversary of the Refugio Oil Spill — to file campaign reports detailing how Vaquero Energy just donated $30,000 to help elect Porter, and the California Independent Petroleum Association $25,000.

The first commandment of Santa Barbara politics is to never accept money from oil companies. The second commandment is to not tell reporters you won’t take oil money when a tape recorder is running, as Porter did.

Making matters even worse still, the same day Keep Santa Barbara Working announced it was operating a cha-ching machine on Porter’s behalf, District Attorney Joyce Dudley and Attorney General Kamala Harris celebrated the anniversary of the Line 901 rupture by filing 46 criminal charges against Plains All American Pipeline. The federal agency responsible for pipeline safety also got into the act, issuing a 500-page report detailing the thousand-and-one ways Plains repeatedly ignored information about pipe-

line corrosion that caused the blowout. Pipeline safety tests dating back to 2007 show corrosion was a big problem on Line 901 and getting much worse at an alarming rate. The report found Plains repeatedly failed to take steps along the way to determine just how bad it was.

Plains’ emergency response plans, it turns out, failed to even acknowledge the presence of the nearby culvert through which the leaked Plains oil escaped under the freeway, under the railroad tracks, and ultimately out to sea. In what I consider the single most damning sentence in the entire report, the investigators concluded, “The response plan did not have a response strategy that considered the presence of culverts.”

Not all oil operators, it should be acknowledged, were as irresponsible as Plains. For example, the 500-page report shows Venoco quickly recognized there was a pipeline safety problem May 19 and almost immediately decided to hold back oil it had hoped to transport that day. It also notified Plains within four minutes of this.

If you wonder why the California Independent Petroleum Association cares so much about Santa Barbara politics, don’t.

Whichever political faction controls the 3rd Supervisorial District dictates which way the political teeter-totter of county government tilts. With four major onshore oil and

gas projects now in the county’s planning

pipeline, the oil and gas stakes could not be higher. We’re looking at hundreds of new wells, all reliant on cyclic steaming, a technology notorious for its high energy needs and big carbon footprints. In one of the proposals, the high-pressure steam injected into the ground for 96 wells slated for the Orcutt Hills will generate so many major surface oil leaks that county energy planners have decreed the project a Class I environmental threat to surface waters and critters who rely on them. This project — like the other three — will all but certainly go before the county supervisors.

Of the five candidates running for the 3rd District — which encompasses the wine tasting rooms of the Santa Ynez Valley, the beer pong parlors of Isla Vista, and prescription med dens of western Goleta —the two runners are Porter — who touts an impressive military career — and Joan Hartmann, a lawyer/academic/tree hugger who touts her stint with the EPA. Who do you think the oil companies don’t want?

When first asked about the oil-industry money, Porter professed surprise. “I have no knowledge of any outside effort on my behalf,” he emailed. “If it’s happening, it’s outside my ability to see or control.” Technically, of course, Porter’s correct. Independent expenditure committees, by law, are legally separate entities from the campaign committees for candidates they support. Legally, no communication or cooperation is allowed between the two. Still, I’m skeptical Porter was as in dark as he claimed. After all, Por-

ter’s campaign manager, Sean Duffy, worked for the oil-industry-bankrolled campaign to demolish Measure P — the ill-fated, illconsidered anti-fracking initiative on the November 2014 ballot—as ground ops coordinator and communications director on the South Coast. To defeat Measure P and a host of other anti-fracking measures that year, California’s oil industry raised and spent in excess of $7 million.

Porter added that he was “puzzled” I was asking about the oil money when I didn’t show similar curiosity about the $30,000 in late campaign donations Hartmann had received from public employee unions.

Fair enough. For the record, Hartmann has received $30,000 from two SEIU Locals and another $1,500 from an electricians’ union.

That, for the record, is big money. In an interview with Independent reporter Kelsey Brugger, Porter vowed to reject money from “a large public service union” and from “large industry,” specifically oil. But as of this Tuesday, things changed. That’s when Porter’s campaign accepted a $25,000 donation from the Santa Barbara County Deputies Sheriffs’ Association (DSA). I didn’t ask Porter how he justified this one. Maybe because the word “service” doesn’t appear anywhere in the DSA name, the union doesn’t technically qualify as a “large public service union.” Aren’t all peace officers sworn “to defend and to serve?”

I’m sure Sherlock Holmes would have something to say. In the meantime, watch out for dogs, barking or otherwise.

I wish I could say one more time that I love you. I wish you would come through the door calling me "ma," but I know that's impossible. I know that you can feel my tears run down my cheeks. When you left, my heart was broken. It's still a painful hole in my chest because you had to die. I pray to God to give me the strength that I need. I struggle on a daily basis with this heartache.

I love you, I miss you.

Rest in peace, my sweet baby.

Love, ma.

Elise Widen Koelsch 02/22/38-05/16/16

Elise Widen Koelsch, devoted mother of Richard A. Berton and Sharlene Berton Koelsch, passed away peacefully on the 16th of May, 2016, after a brief illness. She was born February 22, 1938, in Vasteras, Sweden, to Per Elof and Lisen Widen.

She spent her childhood in Linkoping together with her younger sisters, Sofi Henning and Camilla Widen. She came to the United States in 1961, living in New York City where she was a model. In 1963 she moved to Santa Barbara with her husband, Richard Berton Sr. In 1976, she married Peter Koelsch, and her family grew to include Paul, Steven and Veronique Koelsch. She worked in the medical field, and was an active member of SWEA, where she served on the board in numerous positions, including president for a number of years. Although she lived in the U.S. for more than 50 years, she remained grounded in the traditions of Sweden.

Elise was known for her generosity and hospitality and had an open door to visitors who came from all over the world. She loved to entertain, enjoying wine and great food on her deck with family and friends. One of her favorite pastimes was doing crossword puzzles in pen. She was a world traveler and cherished her most recent trip to Sweden with her granddaughter, Alexia Berton, where she shared her love for her homeland. Her passing has left a large void in

the hearts of her family and friends, but comfort is found in the memories, love, laughter, and wine shared.

Elise leaves to cherish her memory her children Richard and Sharlene, her sisters Camilla and Soft, her granddaughter Alexia, her daughterin-law Tamara, her niece and nephew Sophia and Pontus, the Widen family from Irvine (Jan, Gunnil, Lisa, Jesper and Kajsa), her extended family in Sweden, and many close friends. The family extends their most sincere thanks to Cottage Hospital and Serenity House for their loving care in Elise's last days. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara.

A celebration of life will be planned for later this month.

Katrina Sue (Tina) Cummings 09/06/62-05/01/16

Tina Cummings passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 1, with family and friends at her side. A loving and devoted mother and wife, Tina is survived by her husband Dale Cummings, daughter Crystal, son Jon, and stepchildren Conner and Cassie (Alfonso) and grandchildren Sebastian and Arianni. Tina was one of six children born in Madrid, Spain, to Frank and Joan Manchak. She is also survived by her siblings; Susan, Frank (Gloria), Michael (Catherine), Marie, and Peter; as well as her in-laws Richard and Karen Cummings, Ed and Paula Nelson, and David and Mary Cummings. After growing up in Singapore and Malaysia, the family moved to Santa Barbara where Tina’s love of animals began. As a teenager, Tina volunteered at the Santa Barbara Humane Society, where she cared for and fostered many animals and made some a part of her life. Upon dedicating herself to a career as a registered nurse, Tina attended the nursing program at Santa

Barbara City College, despite a busy schedule managing her family. Through persistence, she earned her degree and became a registered nurse, starting at Sansum Medical Clinic in the Oncology and Cardiology Departments. She then worked at the Santa Barbara Rehabilitation Institute, Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara as an ER nurse, and then at Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center in San Luis Obispo for the last 12 years.

She was known for her loving support of her family, patients and coworkers, helping to save many lives over the years. A resident of Santa Barbara and Paso Robles, Tina is known throughout the region as a compassionate, dedicated, and skillful registered nurse.

Considered by all as the go-to person for advice, she was a great listener to anyone who needed help and provided support to those she didn’t even know. She was always available to her family and helped with the care of her aging parents.

Tina was an amazing wife and mother who actively and wholeheartedly participated in her family’s lives. She was a guiding force with great pride of her children, who gave her tremendous joy. Her son Jon’s wisdom, maturity and career in the medical field made her immensely happy. As a passionate horse enthusiast, Tina took great pleasure in her daughter Crystal’s exceptional talent in horse competitions (which quickly became TINA’S DREAM), and both shared a love of animals. Her concern for all her children and stepchildren was always present. With her beloved husband and soulmate, Dale, they were married in Pismo Beach on October 2000. They shared a true commitment to their family, their work, their horse community, and each other.

Tina has left many family and friends who loved and cared for her. She is loved and will never be forgotten. A celebration of life will be held on May 28. Letters of sympathy can be sent to The Cummings Family at P.O. Box 1502, Goleta, CA 93116. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to a memorial fund at Rabobank called “TINA CUMMINGS’ DREAM,” an effort to perpetuate her daughter’s success.

Calling All Dons!

Jonathan Edward Bailey 1952-2016

A Good Cop

by B i l l B r o w n anta Barbara County and the City of Lompoc recently lost one of their finest. Jonathan Edward Bailey, 63, of Lompoc, died at his wife’s side on April 8, 2016. He was a man who came from humble beginnings, living most of his childhood in Modesto, Reading, Salida, and Stockton. Jon worked as a farm laborer, service station attendant, and truck driver prior to joining the Lompoc Police Department in 1983.

Jon was a journeyman line-level police officer. He worked for more than 30 years as a Lompoc police officer and Santa Barbara County deputy sheriff, serving as a patrolman, SWAT team member, firearms instructor, field training officer, and Explorer Advisor.

He also blended his work and his passion for animals by becoming both a K-9 handler and a mounted officer.

Jon and his family were a huge part of the Lompoc Police Department. At one point, the top of the agency roster looked like the name of an Irish law firm: Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, and Bailey. In addition to Jon, Sandi, his wonderful wife of 37 years, worked as a property officer; Jon’s brother, Joe, as a sergeant; Jon’s son, Jason, as a police officer; and his nephew, Joey, as an Explorer and later a jailer. When he wasn’t working, Jon enjoyed the cowboy way. He and Sandi shared a passion for horses. They lived on a 10-acre ranch and rode and trained horses whenever they could, and Jon often helped gather and brand cattle with his friends.

Jon’s other son, Nick, followed in his father’s cowboy footsteps, while his daughter, Amber, brought some balance to the family with her free spirit and a wanderlust to experience distant places.

Jon was a true gentleman; he worked for two law enforcement agencies that I have been privileged to lead. He and Sandi were most generous in opening up their ranch for charitable events and celebrations.

These gatherings were always attended by legions of friends or soon-to-become friends who would inevitably have a great time. His memorial service was packed with many of the things he loved in life—his family, his friends, his fellow cops in blue and tan-andgreen, horses, dogs, American flags, country music —and afterward some excellent barbecue and adult beverages.

Jon loved life, always had a positive outlook, and relished helping others in need. He did his best work when no one was watching, and he was, in many ways, most unassuming—a man who was innately modest and humble. He believed in people, and he understood that while much of the time cops see people at their worst, that’s not always the definition of who they are.

He once told a police chaplain who was on a ridealong, “Just because someone gets arrested doesn’t mean they’re a bad person.”

Jon enjoyed being a guardian. He was good at it because he loved what he did. Like all cops, he and his family sacrificed in order for him to pursue his destiny of being a law enforcement officer. There were many evenings, weekends, and holidays that he wasn’t with his children or his grandchildren, because he was patrolling the streets instead. But Jon had a calling, and I believe God put him on this earth for a purpose—to be a servant to others. Indeed, public service in the protection of others was Jon’s life purpose. He didn’t do what he did for fame or glory, nor most certainly for fortune. He did it because he was called to do it.

The list of his good works and contributions would be almost endless. Once when a deranged and

TAN-AND-GREEN: Jon Bailey, a skilled horseman and K-9 handler, is remembered as a peace officer who could bring calm to traffic, courtroom, and threatening situations.

barricaded man caught Jon’s partner off guard and threatened him with a raised butcher knife, it was Jon’s brandished .45 and resolute command to drop the weapon that saved the day and prevented a justifiable shooting. His down-to-earth demeanor and empathy for others in need prevented many suicides and brought hope to the hopeless. His smile and cheerful nature in issuing a warning for a traffic violation helped bring many racing hearts back to a normal beat.

Jon was a man of character, integrity, and courage. He showed that courage along with great dignity in how he fought back when he developed cancer.

Indeed, the last time I saw him was just a few weeks before his death, and he was in uniform, on duty, working as a sheriff’s deputy at the security checkpoint at the Figueroa Street Courthouse. We had a brief but pleasing conversation in which he told me —again — how much he enjoyed being back in the saddle and working at the courts. As we parted company, my last glimpse of Jon was of him smiling — smiling that inimitable smile that all who knew him remember so well.

In this day and age when the law enforcement profession is disparaged by a miniscule number of bad cops disproportionately spotlighted in the news day after day, let us never forget that the overwhelming majority of those who protect and serve others across this nation are decent cops like Jon Bailey. They put their lives on the line for people they’ve often never even met, and they do so every minute of every day.

Jon Bailey had a loving wife and family, the admiration of his peers, and—hopefully—the gratitude of those he protected and served so well. He was a fine peace officer, and memories of him will always be framed in fondness and respect. At the end of our days, there’s not much more that a man could ask for in this life.

Jon Bailey. Good man. Good cop. Happy trails, Jon. We miss you.

Cordelia Earle English 09/09/20-05/14/16

Cordelia Kirkland Earle English (also known as Cordy, Dee, Corky, Dilly and the Caped Grammarian to her friends and fans) peacefully passed from this world onto the next on Saturday, May 14, 2016, surrounded by her three children at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara. She was 95, years young.

Cordelia was born September 9, 1920, in Washington, DC, and grew up in Los Angeles, CA, where she pursued degrees in Spanish, French and political science from USC. She also received minor degrees and certificates from UCLA, Institut de Touraine in Tours, France, University of Mexico and Mills College. She engaged in graduate studies at Claremont College and UC Riverside, where she received her teaching credential. She received her master's degree in Spanish literature at UCSB in June 1962.

During World War II, she served in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in both England and France, experiences that lasted her lifetime and left her with a keen sense of justice — or rather the need for justice.

After the war, she began teaching, a life’s calling which she continued even after officially retiring and beginning a second career as a massage therapist.

Cordelia had an irresistible thirst for knowledge, took a great interest in people, cultures, travel, music, reading and much more; the flame within her burned ever bright.

Cordelia LOVED LIFE and her presence made a huge difference in the world. Her kindness, inspiration, beauty, knowledge, generous heart and loving presence will be missed by many.

Dee is preceded in death by her loving parents & her two husbands. She is survived by her three children Robert Earle Canini (Carpinteria, 18

THE INDEPENDENT

CA), Cheryn K. English and her husband James J. Richards (Santa Barbara, CA), Susan J. English and her husband, Edward J. Zych and two loving granddaughters Alexandra M. Zych and Rebecca J. Zych (Lewisburg, PA).

Dee enjoyed every moment of life right up until the final moment.

Robert, Susan and Cheryn would like to thank all the people who touched Dee’s life and shared a cup of tea, a shot of Courvoisier, a glass of chianti or their story … especially Willy Quinn and his wonderful family, Trini, Aoife, and Bridget, at Willy’s pub (La Arcada Bistro), and their beautiful Irish music and dance on a Friday night.

Welch-Ryce-Haider handled cremation, and future memorial arrangements will be announced at a future date.

In lieu of flowers, kindly share a favorite story about Cordelia with her children via email at cordeliaearleenglish3@gmail.com (and please let us know if you’d like to be invited to a future celebration of Dee’s life).

Garett Sean Lewis 05/17/65-05/14/16

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Garett, who returned home to the Lord on May 14, 2016.

Garett was born May 17, 1965, in Santa Barbara, California, and resided there most of his life. Garett attended Kellogg School and Goleta Valley Junior High and graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in 1983. Garett was employed

by Home Improvement and various other companies in Santa Barbara and Gold Coast Draft in Moorpark, CA. Garett loved the ocean and fishing, playing the drums, and listening to rock and country music, and was exceptional in the graphic arts. He was a kind person, generous to a fault, and always willing to lend a

hand. He was a true animal lover and spent many hours caring for a myriad of pets.

Most importantly, Garett loved his family and his life.

Garett is preceded in death by his daughter, Breanne Renee Lewis, his maternal grandfather Mr. Joseph Galvez, of Carpinteria, CA, and his paternal grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Lealia and Donald Lewis of Santa Barbara. He is survived by his mother, Connie Mireles and her husband Bob, of Santa Barbara, and his father Gary Lewis, of Bakersfield, and two brothers Christopher and Jeffrey.

Garett is also survived by his grandmother, Esther Galvez (Bill Cox) of Carpinteria, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins that make up a very close extended family.

Garett will be laid to rest in a ceremony at Goleta Cemetery, 44 S. San Antonio Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110 at 11 a.m. Saturday May 28, 2016.

A private memorial will follow. Arrangements are under the care of Alma Funeral Home and Cremation Services in Bakersfield and Goleta Cemetery.

Barbara Sue Schmidt 04/16/45-05/05/16

Sailing and sunset watching were lifelong joys. She is survived by her husband, Stephen Schmidt; daughter, Michelle Howard; granddaughter, Adrienne Howard; and Carol and Marty Levin and their daughter, Danielle (sister, brother-inlaw, and niece).

Barbara had a habit of experiencing good things, be they sunsets, glasses of champagne, or amazing meals, as the “best ever." She possessed an authentic capacity to be fully present in the moment and find great joy in life’s pleasures.

The family invites you to celebrate Barbara’s life with a champagne toast over the next sunset you see.

Books to climb into and paper to dance across with pen and pencil Your world here was full and real and sweet So much to learn from you …

Helene Schneider for Congress

T

he current election’s national headlines focus on “misogynist rhetoric” and highlight the different barometers used to measure female and male candidates. But a candidate vote based solely on gender is inappropriate, as is focusing on “gender politics” when a candidate has a long record of public service.

Mayor Helene Schneider helps businesses prosper on the South Coast, and she’s not afraid to question the status quo. She managed the economic downturn without incurring debt or irresponsible public spending. Helene championed marriage equality, climate change, and women’s health care before they were popular taglines on a liberal résumé. She secured a local water supply during drought and has been a constant environmental leader for Santa Barbara. Unquestioningly, Helene is the best candidate to represent us in Congress.

Of course women support her campaign! Men do, too! Schneider will bring intelligence, work ethic, and humor to difficult national issues. We need someone independent and smart to fix the problems in Washington caused by insiders who care more about money than the lives of the people they represent.

Voters should question why some candidates have received major outside PAC money in this election.

What promises were made to attract these dollars?

Women are underrepresented at every level of government; only 19 percent of Congress is female.

But we’re not supporting Helene because of gender, and you shouldn’t, either. Helene is an amazing woman—just an extra benefit of voting for the most qualified and responsible candidate in the field.

Karen Jones for Supervisor

M

y mother is 3rd District supervisor candidate Karen Jones. In her campaign, she is laying all her cards on the table. It’s not because she has nothing to lose. On the contrary, she has everything to lose and everything to gain if she can persevere through the public scrutiny of running for political office. I admire her bravery and passion. It is a much easier path to

15 Hitchcock Way Santa Barbara just be a spectator, pass judgment, cast a vote, and then complain about the outcome.

My mother spent her career before moving to the Santa Ynez Valley in the mental-health field, helping people who were in crisis. As a founding member of the S.Y.V. Opportunity Shop, she raises private funds for the community. She does her work quietly because, as a recipient of benevolence herself, she understands the private exchange that is true charity.

I think we’ve all had enough of the professional politicians whose top priority is securing a government pension and rewarding political allies rather than protecting the community’s interests. We need a real person in office who thinks of the many faces and facets of the 3rd District when making decisions.

With three adult children and two grandchildren living in the county, Karen Jones has a simple agenda: She is in this race to protect and preserve our county’s natural beauty for future generations.

If you are looking for a representative who exhibits integrity, intelligence, loyalty, honesty, and uncensored authenticity, then Karen Jones is your candidate for 3rd District supervisor. —Kara Twist Jones Scott, S.B.

Inside (Part of) the White House

before last there, wandering the White House, watching a House session, checking out the so-called insider bars, and trying to see what makes this city tick.

It’s many things: company town; tourist town; two-party town; full-scale party town; a seething mix of very smart, powerful, ambitious people; and, for me, an illustrated history book.

On our long-awaited White House tour, daughter Wendy, son Barclay, and I fantasized that we’d run into President Obama and Michelle in a hallway and chat, but no luck. After clearing heavy security, we joined other tourists wandering the route-appointed rooms, splendidly carpeted and adorned with lovely furnishings, portraits, and huge chandeliers.

The only sign I saw of the fire set by invading British (the War of 1812 and all that) was a charred sandstone doorway in the basement where cooks were preparing a meal — not part of the regular tour.

Since the Obamas lifted the age-old ban on photographs, people were quietly shooting selfies. (No, the tour doesn’t include the Oval Office.)

But the famed legislative sausage grinding of lawmaking goes on inside the Capitol building. Thanks to passes from Congressmember Lois Capps, we watched the House

assemble for a vote on a drug bill — with the election coming up, you’ve got to answer the call.

They’d done their homework, so the voting by cards inserted in electronic counting devices went fairly quickly. They arrived, stood around schmoozing — Republicans on one side of the aisle, Democrats on the other.

Rep. Capps, who’s retiring after this session, was there. Minutes later, with the crack of the Speaker’s gavel, it was over, and they all trailed out. All that was missing, someone remarked, was the alcohol.

The Capitol corridors, awash with chattering schoolchildren and tourists just hours earlier, were empty, echoing marble chambers as we walked out, alone except for a few guards.

The third branch of government, the Supreme Court, resides in a (pretentious or impressive; you pick the word) neoclassical, be-columned “temple of justice” that features a cafeteria open to the public, where we ate — not in the company of any of the justices — and a fifth-floor gym that includes, for basketball players, what’s been dubbed “the highest court in the land.”

The place is hardly historic, only dating to 1935, and architect Cass Gilbert petitioned Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to make sure that the Siena marble was of top-grade.

D.C. was swarming with bands of high school students, climbing the steps of the Lin-

coln Memorial and walking paths of Arlington National Cemetery, where we watched the eternal flame flicker over the grave of assassinated president John F. Kennedy.

Raindrops fell like tears on the solemn, dark wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

In D.C., war is always with you, including the World War II and Korean War monuments and others.

The 555-foot-high, phallus-likeWashington Monument is visible from just about anywhere in D.C., and if you’re lucky, you can ride to the top. We weren’t. Probably the most popular of the Mall museums is the Air and Space Museum, where you could easily spend a full day, or week.

Another mecca for crowds of kids was the Newseum, a fascinating six-floor gathering of the history of news and a catch-up on what’s been happening, in print, photography, and TV, since long before the kids were born. You can’t miss it; the entire high wall on Pennsylvania Avenue is devoted to the First Amendment.

There’s much more to D.C., including the magnificent National Gallery of Art, where we didn’t have to shoulder through crowds, young or old.

“The Round Robin is the busiest bar in town,” claimed one taxi driver. We found the small, circular watering hole at the old Willard Hotel jammed with drinkers of all ages

engaged in gossip, gulping the house-favorite mint juleps (don’t bother), some clearly engaged in diplomatic flirting-hustling.

D.C., with its large population of young, well-paid workers, parties with a passion, and interns, staffers and legislators all have their separate (more or less) hangouts, divided by party affiliation (more or less).

Most fun we had was at the 160-year-old Old Ebbitt Grill, big and on the dark side, with a bustling bar, fine food and service, and booths you never want to leave. I’ll be back.

After a stirring rendition of “Somewhere” from West Side Story Soto from Santa Barbara High School.

UCSB’s Risa Brainin accepted an award for original playwriting on behalf of Yussef El Guindi, whose play The Talented Ones was featured in the university’s Launch Pad program last season.

UCSB senior BFA student Charles Grant received a roar of approval from his college cohort along with his statue, which honored his work as Richard II in The Death of Kings. Jeremy Scharf, another UCSB undergrad, also won for The Death of Kings, in which he played Richard III. After a beautiful performance of a song from the musical Hair by Soto, the final sequence of six awards included three for The Death of Kings and three for other, smaller productions. Tom Hinshaw, who won for his solo performance in Title and Deed, which was directed by Maurice Lord, encouraged the theatrically inclined audience to dig in to the work of Title and Deed author Will Eno. Ann Bruice, the UCSB professor who designed more than 50 costumes for The Death of Kings, brought her student Maddison Carroll onstage with her to accept an award for that show. Bruice got the biggest laugh of the night with remarks addressed to Kings director Appel that included renaming the time-intensive project “The Death of Us All.”

Both Jim Connolly, whose musical score for The Death of Kings was honored, and Appel, who was recognized for the direction of that show and for writing the original adaptation, mentioned Jeff Mills, the UCSB faculty memIrving ber who played Henry IV Soto and who will be leaving Santa Barbara in the fall to take a tenure track position at DePauw University near Chicago. Mills, who teaches acting and stage combat at UCSB, has been a vivid presence on and behind our city stages for many years, and he will be missed.

The last award of the evening went to a very patient Rob Grayson for his turn in A Bright New Boise. Elements, the theater collective founded by Sara Rademacher and Emily Jewell, produced Boise, and it continues on its mission of bringing free theater to alternative spaces all over the county. It was a fitting end to an evening that gathered the disparate strands of our theater community into a single happy bunch for this longstanding n annual tradition.

n the fall of 1994, Rodney Gustafson received a tip about

a vacant building tucked away on the southern end of downtown Santa Barbara, a gray expanse of dusty concrete units where State Street and Highway 101 collide.

Gustafson had just moved into town, a former dancer with American Ballet Theatre who remembered the city’s bucolic appeal when the company breezed through during a national tour. “I always had my sights set on Santa Barbara,” he recalled,“and knew I’d start my own company and studio and make it work here.”

The space in question was a less than ideal location for any business, let alone one that would usher in a particularly traditional tights and bun-head set; this was classical dance, after all, a genre weighted in sometimes stifling expectation. But Gustafson is a man with an unconventional vision and a selfdescribed “tenacity that drove people nuts someRodney Gustafson times”; this particular set of bricks and mortar was as good a launch pad as any to begin his longtime dream of establishing a studio on the central coast.“A lot of people tried to dissuade me,” he explained,“saying it was a closed-off town and that people were territorial here. But I’d traveled all over the country and knew that competition existed everywhere. I wasn’t going to listen to anyone.”

That spring, Gustafson rallied a group of seven dancers and rented Center Stage Theater’s 130-seat house for the debut of his first evening-length program. Two years later, he’d established a formal company that began touring throughout the States. And 10 years after that, he was selling upward of 1,000 tickets to his season openers, collaborating with the Santa Barbara Symphony and the Santa Barbara Choral Society for the presentations of opulent classical and contemporary dance theater.

To date, Gustafson’s remarkable journey from modest black-box beginnings to Santa Barbara’s first and only performance company in residence at the Granada Theatre has been unmatched by any other area outfit. From contemporary dance to musical theater, our performing arts companies have generationally struggled to achieve a similar balance of creative fulfillment and professional recognition, with space and finances directly influencing their accomplishments.

appeal to a broad continuum of audiences. But in a saturated market where theaters are vying for the attention (and purse strings) of a modest pool of 90,000-plus patrons, catering to a niche target audience might be the only difference between thriving and surviving.“Do all of these new venues affect [the Lobero]? Oh, yes, and it certainly puts more pressure on us to pay the bills. But the good news is that it also forces us to be really good at what we were designed for,” said Asbell.

The traditional role of art house as civic soundboard, where programming and demographics once reflected the themes and creative ideals of a diverse community of voices, has shifted dramatically over the last few decades, with theater administrators now working ferociously behind the scenes with influential boards and foundations, determining how best to retain a healthy stock of their proverbial bread-andbutter crowd. They’ve also begun hiring developmental directors with heavy-handed fundraising pedigrees in hopes of wrangling in Santa Barbara’s top-tier donors, an invaluable component that helps ensure a respectable bottom line at fiscal year’s end.

In a 2014 lecture, Diane Ragsdale, former theater and dance strategist for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in New York City — a researcher on the role of theaters within our U.S. communities — posed a glaring question: “Do theaters want to be country clubs? Or do they want to be civil institutions?”

It was the shot heard ’round the theater world, with everyone from historians to producers weighing in on the ramifications of an industry sliding dangerously away from its virtuous roots. Lyn Gardner, theater writer for the Guardian, had this to say in response: “If it’s the latter, that means that instead of seeing their own survival as paramount, they must understand the role they can play as enablers and collaborators working with the whole community. If a theatre’s mission has become selling more tickets, more growth, empire-building or simple self-preservation, then that is a theatre that has lost the plot.”

Asbell was quick to agree.“Are art houses supporting art like they did in the 1950s? Hell no. No, a lot of things have changed.

But I’m hopeful that the pendulum that has swung too far one way can swing back to a more quality-of-life approach. And that approach has nothing to do with money.”

The CounTry Club Conundrum

Among the towering palm trees and red-bricked walkways of downtown Santa Barbara stand no fewer than a staggering seven performing arts venues, each one unique in dimension and design, and all within easy walking distance of the city’s main thoroughfare. From the 130-seat familiarity of Center Stage and the similarly sized Alhecama Theatre to the grandeur of the Arlington’s 2,000-seat hall, the physical characterization of each building has traditionally dictated the art being offered inside. “Downtown is tremendously more vibrant now,” said David Asbell, executive director of the Lobero Theatre,“and we’ve got all of these beautiful vessels

residents themselves, making it pointedly clear that the arts are being sustained and supported by the very community members who live and work within our city limits. Christopher Pilafian, artistic director of Santa Barbara Dance Theater, sees this growing interest as a noteworthy cultural tipping point.“Ideas are currently afoot here, people are making and sharing work, people are encouraging critical thinking of that work, and people are attending performances with a greater understanding of what the artistic process implies,” he said.

Programmers such as Celesta Billeci of UCSB Arts & Lectures recognize the significant correlation between artists and audience, curating a powerhouse season of lectures and performances around a primary mission statement of enriching and engaging our community. “For us, the educational outreach component of our programming isn’t an afterthought; its right up there with securing a big name like Alvin Ailey or Yo-Yo Ma,” Billeci stressed. From master classes to student assemblies to workshops for at-risk youth, Billeci credits the business of the arts for its empowering ability to change the course of people’s lives no matter what their age.“The moment I stepped into a theater to see my first performance, I was hooked,” remembered Gustafson.“I went to see the Joffrey Ballet, and the magic of that performance will always stay with me.”

Devyn Duex, director of Nebula Dance Lab, agreed:“There is something magical about the theater experience, and [it] is the trigger for artists to awaken their paths towards performance.”

Dianne Vapnek of DANCEworks curates her programming with similar awareness: “I like to bring in a fresh and different perspective from a group of dancers you may never get to see otherwise. A little East Coast flavor always motivates the soul.” With open rehearsals and intimate dance salons, Vapnek’s approach encourages an invaluable dialogue over the myriad ways art can be developed and experienced.“The contributions of the curators in our community such as Celesta Billeci and Dianne Vapnek have helped to raise awareness among the casual dance lover, and has helped them to become a more sophisticated and engaged audience,” said Pilafian.

Awareness and interest have a way of rushing through the city with the ferocity of the Santa Ana winds; nurture a community, and they will return the favor by building audiences through their infectious passion and creative development. “We have an arts community here that is unparalleled, and I really feel that local companies bring the interest in, and set the stage for visiting companies,” added Gustafson.

loCaTIon, loCaTIon, loCaTIon

For a Santa Barbara performance company, selecting the right venue to stage new work presents a sobering set of determining factors, with the constraints of a prudent budget conventionally steering the decision along. “The Granada is the closest to the kind of stage I spent my career on,” said Pilafian.“It’s a wonderful theater, and I would be thrilled to provide that experience to my dancers. But the seats! The seats are so many!

We just don’t have that size of an audience draw yet.”

Cutting one’s teeth in a more intimate venue has traditionally allowed for greater artistic risk, an unparalleled connection to the audience, and the invaluable ability to produce multiday programs. How to prioritize

emerging companies off the traditional stage. “I believe in this work so much, and we work so hard,” said Lehman.

Recognizing the challenges that an emerging artist faces, venues like the newly renovated Alhecama Theatre offer a streamlined, frillsfree rate that allows a company the freedom to tailor each production according to scope and budget. The Lobero Theatre applies modest subsidies to programming that specifically impacts area youth. Even the theaters once seemingly indifferent to the needs of a small start-up seem to be catching on to the inherent value of nurturing the arts from the ground up. “We want to do it right, so it’s a slow process, but we’re fully committed,” stressed Carrie Ohly-Cusack, a Granada Theatre boardmember specifically tasked with researching the current needs of our arts community. Granada Executive Director Craig Springer confirmed that the organization is currently looking to hire a full-time community outreach coordinator by summer’s end, a critical step in the fieldwork needed to take an accurate temperature of a wide-ranging audience.

in different places. But being in different places can’t happen without some coordinated effort by the theaters themselves. Making space available for emerging companies is critical because it’s so much harder if you’re not one of the big guys. It’s a matter of opportunity.”

“Frankly, I’m just tired of convincing people to see the value in helping out the underdog,” said Kyra Lehman, creative director of Proximity Theatre Company. As such, the search for affordable space has forced her off the conventional route, and onto more creative venues. “We’ve tried everything from dance studios to school auditoriums to barns and backyards,” she explained. Her company has currently partnered up with the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara to present a series of site-specific works that utilize both MCA’s downtown digs and its satellite gallery housed inside of the Hotel Indigo.

“POWERFUL PERFORMANCES!” Santa Maria Times

nurTure Vs. naTure

A visit to the administrative offices of some of Santa Barbara’s leading theaters and one is immediately struck by their tangible personalities — eerily accurate reflections of their reputation among the community. The Marjorie Luke, a cozy, open plan of smiling young faces behind a streamlined trio of desks; the Lobero’s gregarious director motioning spiritedly over a charmingly disheveled workspace; the Granada’s labyrinthine suites perched regally above State Street in the Arts & Culture Center.

Their role within our city’s intricate network of resources is much more than a passive vessel for entertainment or a placeholder for our cultural musings. For an artist, the incomparable weight of relevancy is second only to the simple gratification of sharing personal stories with others. “My belief is that critical mass and tipping points are parts of the energy trajectory of any community, and we’re in a very interesting time for that gathering around this particular field,” mused Pilafian.“In a healthy civic environment, artists are inspired and dedicated to their process, and motivated to share the results of their process as manifestations of their own personal artistic growth.”

Ching drove the point home: “All of those bigbilled dance companies that come through our town had to start somewhere, and somewhere along the way, a community saw value in their work. You can’t go from the Center Stage to the Granada without nurturing in between. That’s all Santa Barbara artists n are asking for.”

It’s really valuable to be able to connect with our audience eye to eye and see their reactions immediately. Also, it’s the most affordable theater to rent in Santa Barbara,” said Samantha Eve, director of Out of the Box Theatre Company. nter Stage Kinesis at Ce Area choreographer Weslie Ching agreed: “Aside from Center Stage, most current theaters are out of my budget; it’s still very expensive, and I’m doing it pretty bare-bones.”

Some area theaters, including Center Stage and the Marjorie Luke Theatre, have implemented a formal rent-subsidy program to assist artists dur- Peter and the Starcatcher ing the critical leap toward the big stage, an invaluable tool that every company director interviewed for this story mentioned utilizing at some point in their careers. “Last year, we gave away $18,000 to 32 different Santa Barbara–based groups, so it’s a feather in our cap knowing we can directly impact our local community,” said Rick Villa, manager of the Marjorie Luke Theatre, whose tireless community-advocacy work has allowed more companies to make the intimidating jump from a black-box environment to an 800-seat proscenium theater.

“We met when we were 14 and 16, and we’ve been married for 67 years,” said Fredda Maisel while she and her husband, Dr. Harris Maisel, cut a rug at Valle Verde Retirement Home’s second annual Senior Prom. The Maisels (right), along with about 60 other residents and staff members, enjoyed the Golden Oldies–themed event, which featured goldencrusted corsages and boutonnieres donated by McDermott-Crocket Mortuary, live music, prom photos, and SBCC students who gave their time to do the women’s hair and makeup. The grand finale of the event was the crowning of prom king Benny Plambek and queen Shirley Sayre (above).

hat’s up with all these up-andcoming fitness trends? How can we keep up with all of them? The answer is Santa Barbara StudioPass, which launched in April. As the dreadful “bikini season” transpires, the StudioPass allows members to take classes from multiple fitness studios for just $119 per month.

The idea, which exists in other communities, began when cofounder Michelle Chung (no relation) realized that she was spending upward of $500 a month to keep up with all her fitness memberships, from self-defense to pilates. With StudioPass, members can find classes at different studios located all throughout town that fit their schedules (the average day includes 30-50 classes); mix up their fitness routines from HIIT (high-intensity interval training) and spinning to aerial yoga, barre, and more; and enjoy the company of others in a welcoming environment.“These classes keep me on my toes and are so fun — you don’t even realize you’re getting an insane workout,” said Chung, who started the pass with her friend, Mikey Turner. “Who knows?

By Captain Karen M. Kahn

After using our service to taste-test numerous studios, members might fall in love with one studio and sign up full-time. That’s the benefit of our service — there are no commitments.”

Turner and Chung hope to “empower members to utilize the various fitness offerings in town and leverage every instructor, exercise, activity, and space to become the healthiest version of themselves.”

Currently, there are eight studios listed on the website, including CorePower Yoga, barre3, Mad Fitness S.B., and Kaia Fit, among others, and Santa Barbara StudioPass will proceed to add more studio partnerships throughout the year.

See sbstudiopass.com.

lying to me is freedom—to go where you want, when you want, and experience the world as few others get to see it.

Today, after more than 40 years of flying both privately and commercially, I’m still wondering why we don’t have more women interested in spreading their wings.

I started learning to fly at age 19 when a friend encouraged me to take a lesson at Gnoss Field, the airport near my hometown of Novato.

I took an introductory flight, actually got to control the Piper Cherokee 140 with my own hands as the instructor sat beside me, and was hooked. I was soon working for the airport as a scheduler, dispatcher, and accounting secretary. After nine years, I’d accumulated enough experience to qualify as a pilot for the commercial airlines, which were finally hiring after a long dry spell.

In 1977, I was one of the first women to fly for Continental Airlines, and my career took off. I flew 727s and DC-10s and then spent 26 years as a captain of MD-80s, 757s, and 767s. I flew domestic and international routes, from LAX to Houston to Guam to Tokyo to beyond, and even wrote about my passion in a book called Flight Guide for Success.

I retired after 36 years and now fly my own 1975 Beech Baron for fun and transportation.

When my career began, women made up less than one percent of the commercial airline pilot workforce. Now women make up about 6 percent, which is not much progress in nearly four decades, despite the fact that encouraging more women to become pilots is a common theme among those of us who do fly. I’ve been an instructor since 1973, when I realized that teaching was the best way to become a skillful pilot while passing along the passion for aviation to others.

Becoming a professional pilot is much easier now, although it still requires a lot of dedication and perseverance. The hard work is well worth it— it I found my passion, and it excites and delights me to this day.

The Santa Barbara chapter of The Ninety-Nines, the International Organization of Women Pilots, is accepting applications for the new CJ Strawn Aviation Scholarship for Women, a $2,000 grant for improving a pilot’s skills. The deadline is June 1. Email joduffy@rain.org. independent.com

CyClemania, Peabody dreams, and andy’s ashes Reports on Amgen Tour, SB100, Peabody Renovation, Track Champs, and Leicester Soccer

J

ulian Alaphilippe’s tour de force on Gibraltar Road last week may mark him as a contender in the Tour de France. But whether or not the 23-year-old French cyclist celebrates in Paris this summer, he can say,“I’ll always have Santa Barbara.”

The route for the 2016 Amgen Tour of California comprised 782 miles of pavement to be covered in eight days, and none proved to be more consequential than the seven torturous miles up Gibraltar Road — a first for the 11-year-old tour — at the end of Stage 3. Alaphilippe’s finishing surge gave him the stage victory and the overall lead. He retained the yellow jersey throughout the remaining five stages, all the way to his bubbly-wine-drenched victory celebration in Sacramento last Sunday.

Runner-up Rohan Dennis of Australia wound up 21 seconds behind Alaphilippe in the final standings. He finished 48 seconds behind Alaphilippe on Gibraltar Road, a margin that enabled the Frenchman to forfeit some time, but not too much, when Dennis won the Stage 6 time trial in Folsom.

This race was survival of the fittest and most well-rounded bicycle racers. Sprinters Peter Sagan and Mark Cavendish each claimed a stage win, but they were no match for Gibraltar’s speed-sucking elevation and gave up all hope of contending for the overall title. American riders Brent Bookwalter, Andrew Talansky, and Lawson Craddock filled out the top five after Alaphilippe and Dennis.

SUFFER FOR CHARITY: Jason and Tricia Middleton, organizers of the SB100 — a cycling event coming October

22 that features 100-mile and 100-kilometer rides — hope that it will benefit from the notoriety of Gibraltar Road. In the middle of each course will be the same climb that the pros made. “Our goal is 1,500 riders,” Tricia said. “Sixty percent of them do the 100-miler. We attract hard-core cyclists.”

For the less ambitious, there’s a 34-mile relatively flat course.

Proceeds will benefit several charities including the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition and the Cottage Children’s Medical Center. Visit sb100.org.

PEABODY PARADE: Santa Barbara High’s Peabody Stadium reeks of history. After it was built in 1924, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig brought their barnstorming baseball tour

there. The stadium is most famously known as the Home of the Dons — showcasing 90 years of football, 42 years

Zant’s

of soccer, and lacrosse for the past two years — as well as graduation ceremonies and other events. It’s all taken a toll on the original structure and the field, which will undergo a complete renovation starting this summer. On Sunday, May 29, for old time’s sake, the community is invited to participate in the “Last Lap” at the stadium, rattling its bones for a final time. Activities and entertainment will take place 3-7 p.m.

Proceeds from the $15 admission (18 and under are free) will support the renovation fund.

RECORD BREAKER: The plans for Peabody Stadium

include a new track. The old asphalt running surface around the field has long since disintegrated. That did not stop senior Natasha Feshbach (featured here last week) from finding a place to train, and at the CIF Finals, she improved her school record in the 100 hurdles to 14.08 seconds, and she set a new record of 188¼ in the long jump. Her hurdles time makes her the sixth fastest girl in California, and she will try to qualify for the State Championships this Friday.

Game of the Week

5/28: Football: Carpinteria-Bishop Diego Alumni Game: It’s dubbed “War on the Shore IV,” marking the fourth time grizzled rivals are suiting up to settle old scores and raise funds for the two high schools. Bishop Diego took a 2-1 lead in the alumni series by edging the Warriors, 10-9, before 7,000 fans in 2008. They hope to draw a similar turnout this Saturday. Carpinteria has an advantage in the varsity football series that started in 1949, but the Cardinals have won the last five games. Bishop coach Tom Crawford will not be able to use his recent standout players, however, because they must have graduated at least five years ago to be eligible for the alumni game. Players such as defensive end Thor Schmidt, a 1994 Bishop grad who played for Northwestern in the Rose Bowl, proved that oldies can be goodies when he was named MVP of the 2008 game. The Carpinteria alums, coached by Rick Candaele, include men who won CIF championships in 1991 and 2002. There will also be alums from each school on the officiating crew. 4pm. La Playa Stadium, S.B. City College. $10. Call 967-1266 or 684-4107.

Also on track is San Marcos High junior Erica Schroeder.

She clocked a season’s best of 2:10.34 in winning the CIF Division 2 800-meter final. She’ll have to go faster the next two weeks to defend the state title she won last year in an astonishing 2:07.08.

MAGIC GAUCHOS: Austin Bush’s grand slam rallied UCSB’s baseball team from a 5-1 deficit in the eighth

inning to a 9-5 victory at UC Irvine last Sunday, and on Monday the Gauchos scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat Gonzaga, 6-5. They finish the regular season at home with a three-game series against UC Riverside starting Thursday, May 26, and their “magic number” is one. UCSB (12-9 in the Big West) needs a victory to clinch third place in the conference over three teams that are 10-11: UCR, Cal Poly, and Cal State Northridge. With a sweep, the Gauchos (36-16-1 overall) could finish as high as second. On Monday, they hope to receive their invitation to the 64-team NCAA tournament.

ANDY’S ASHES: Andy Norton did not live to see his hometown team, the Leicester City Football Club, win

paul wellman file photo

John

CLIMBING TO VICTORY: Julian Alaphilippe seized the overall lead in the Amgen Tour of California on Gibraltar Road last week and never relinquished it.

Carpinteria-Bishop Diego game in 2012

the English Premier League soccer championship, but he came closer than he could have imagined. Norton, signed by the club as a teenager, wore the Leicester colors in the early 1970s before an injury short-circuited his professional playing career.

He found his way to the United States and made a home in Santa Barbara. He was a patron of the Press Room, the pub where Brits cheer for such clubs as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, while paying scant attention to perennial also-rans like Leicester City.

The Foxes were not even competing in England’s top league when Norton died of cancer in late 2013. His friends spread his ashes at the four corners of the Elings Park pitch, where he used to play recreational soccer with the Press Room’s team. Too bad Andy couldn’t have been toasted by his mates this month when Leicester City, defying odds of 5,000-to-1, became champion of England for the first time n in its 132-year existence.

GLOBE UPDATE: This just in from reader

REDS RUMORS: Originally opened in 2002 by

The Burger Bus first rolled out onto the streets of Santa Barbara seven years ago. Owners Michael and Cheryl Gardner sent me this update: “We wanted to give you the lowdown on how we have changed things up and what direction we are taking as we roll into our eighth year of business. We have expanded the burger menu on The Bus to include some more delicious options. As always, we still offer a great pulled pork and amazing falafel!

We have increased our full scale catering (2-200+, just ask!) and added several options to our appetizers, sides and salads. As well, we are now able to offer made-to-order food on a small scale at private events with our new cart. We are still maintaining our usual high standards utilizing Shalhoob meats, Mama’s Preserves, The Berry Man produce, and Melrose bakery.” Visit theburgerbus.com.

Dana Walters at 211 Helena Avenue in the Funk Zone, Reds might be singing the good-bye blues, though nothing I have heard is definitive.

Readers George and Richie tell me the business is closing. Reader Mitchell says Reds has been sold to The Good Lion at 1212 State Street and will reopen in a month. Reader Olivia says she was there recently and spoke to Walters and was told that Reds is closing Memorial Day weekend. Reader Jonathan says that he heard that Reds is going to be closing and reopening as some type of tiki bar. The name of the ABC applicant posted in front of Reds is “Test Pilot Cocktails LLC.” CAFÉ 154 REOPENS: Reader John Paul says

Café 154 at 4151 Foothill Road has reopened but is only offering snacks and drinks for now — no sandwiches yet. Reader Cris sent me a press release that reads: “Café 154 announces its grand reopening with new manager, Chef Brenda Simon. The café offers fresh casual fare with a focus on healthy, locally sourced, and seasonal ingredients. Menu items include made-fromscratch favorites such as sandwiches, healthy wraps, pressed juices, and freshly baked breads, cupcakes, and pastries. Our grab-and-go counter offers diners delicious, healthy options with swift, friendly service.”

REMODELS: Reader Brendan, Wade, and Shelby passed word that China Pavilion at 1202 Chapala Street is closed for remodeling until June 6. Owner Shannon Gaston tells me that Crushcakes Café at 1315 Anacapa Street is finished remodeling. After eight years in business, they have expanded the dining room and made it easier to order with just one counter.

Wi-Fi is available, and Crushcakes is serving its full menu of breakfast, lunch, coffee bar, and cupcakes all day, every day.

Annie: “ I went to Globe at 18 East Cota Street last night, and there are some cool changes there. A few tables and chairs have replaced some of the lounge furniture so there’s room for lots more people. It looks like they needed it. The place was crowded! There is a nice patio in the back and a quiet spot upstairs. Longtime bar guy Andy Davis is managing and behind the bar. We had great food and drinks.”

Ignite Your Passion - Life Changing Education After 16 years military duty in Afghanistan, Thailand and US, I decided to work alongside my wife in Massage. Over the last 8 months, attending SBBTI under the GI bill, I have learned so much about the human body while improving my own wellbeing. The staff and courses at SBBTI are great- supportive, fun and detailed. My wife and I opened a Thai massage shop. Business has been booming, with overflow clientele. I plan to open a second shop, hire my classmates and help out the VETS in many of their issues especially PTSD. Thanks to SBBTI my life has been so much better and fulfilling. ~Roy McLaughlin, VETERAN, 1000 hour student

Death Grips Bottomless pit

Death Grips are back from their self-imposed early retirement with Bottomless Pit, an announcement they made two years ago that was met with a mixture of skepticism, disappointment, and confusion — especially since the three-musician team of rapper MC Ride, drummer/producer Zach Hill, and coproducer Andy Morin has continued to put out albums and tour since that fateful and empty declaration.

Bottomless Pit blasts into existence with the furious punk guitar glory of “Giving Bad People Good Ideas,” courtesy of Tera Melos guitarist Nick Reinhart. The energy of the album is frenetic throughout, but it tones down in tracks such as “Warping,” an ode to the lifelong shifting of personality and perspective, and “Eh,” a disarmingly vulnerable track where MC Ride digresses on the self-esteem problems that his larger-than-life persona and disdain for society at large often overshadow. The punk energy at the album’s start returns for the triumphant final track, “Bottomless Pit,” culminating another wild, fever-dream ride of a Death Grips album.

Fichot’s music straddles epochs as well as geographies, and she aims to make sure her vintage sounds have a contemporary luster.“I like the sounds of that era, and it’s nice to bring these songs back, but I’m pretty conscious that I don’t just copy it — I try to add little elements in the production, so that it’s not just trying to reproduce exactly that vintage sound,” she said.

Fichot is also fluent in a variety of musical languages. In her spare time, she writes children’s tunes for ESL propro grams. “I really get to write in a lot of different styles — anything from reggae to a geeky rap,” she said. For her next project, she’s hoping to venture into the world of video game music and sound effect composition. With a penchant toward “story-centric and adventure-based games,” Fichot is educating herself on how to shape digital sonic worlds and enriching the rest of her creativity in the process.

“Thinking about music as a soundsound scape and as the score of a game is really giving me new energy for everything else I do in music,” she said.

So whether it’s stirring up auditory visions of old Shanghai or melding music to the visuals of a video game, Fichot’s colorful chansons have a way of painting pretty pictures in the mind. Hear her and her band play at the Mission Saturday, and let your imagination fill in the blank spaces, whether they’re in your head or on the Mission grounds.

eMily Wryn Feral

Emily Wryn, who caught The Indy’s attention with her haunting voice on 2012’s Head On Straight EP, has a new album due out in July, and it’s a special one, indeed. Tactile and intimate, with dissonant strings lurking in the background, the carefully crafted Feral weaves a richly cold world of dark and delicate beauty. Songs such as the wintry whisper of “River” and the gravely sparse “Whippoorwill” recall tragic tale-tellers like Cat Power and Marissa Nadler, while more up-tempo moments like “Witness” add backbone amid the misty mire. Beautifully sung and masterfully produced, Wryn’s debut album sees the Lompoc singer/songwriter as one of our region’s strongest voices and conjurers of atmospheres. See her at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club in June.

“M

usic is painting in the air,” Italian musimusi cian Franco Falsini once observed. This weekend, when the I Madonnari Festival returns for its trentesimo anniversario at the S.B. Mission, the pastel artists won’t be the only ones filling the atmosphere with artistry. With her band’s colorful, vibrant, and whimsical blend of French chanson, Chinese ’40s swing, gypsy jazz, and international folk, L.A.’s Jessica Fichot will paint the air of the street art festival on Saturday afternoon in a special free performance.

liGhtWorks illuMinates The LightWorks Illumination Festival, a public arts event celebrating light and the community, illuminated Isla Vista’s parks for three consecutive nights on May 19-21, featuring 14 temporary pieces accessible for all to observe and interact with. The project was the brainchild of Kim Yasuda, professor of art at UCSB, who envisioned it as an extension of 2015’s Pardall Tunnel light installation that commemorated the first anniversary of the Isla Vista tragedy. Yasuda saw the opportunity to continue honoring the memory of those lost, highlight UCSB’s students’ talents, and give back to the community.

“This is an opportunity to showcase some of our local and California-based artists who utilize light and projection, while also helping our community to imagine what our parks could be like if they were properly lit at night,” Yasuda said.

Many of the art pieces incorporate audience participation and interaction, such as “HuggaTree” (pictured above) by artist John Lawrence. Illuminated roots emerge from a tree base. When viewers hugged the tree in I.V.’s Perfect Park, the roots erupted in undulating rainbow light. “I’m so ecstatic to see how people are interacting with the piece,” said Lawrence while watching students group-hug the tree on Thursday night.

Community members of all ages danced and stomped across the Anisq’Oyo’ Park bridge as they jubilantly watched their movements light up the bridge’s pillars. Annika Tan, a second-year art major, is part of the team that built the installation, called “Luminaria,” in a physical computing art class. “When we were given this opportunity, we thought about how dark and unsafe this part of the park felt,” said Tan. “So we decided to work on making the bridge fun and safe to walk through. Hopefully we can make the installation permanent!”

“I want this event to create small bridges between the Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Isla Vista worlds,” said Leah Barsher, community coordinator, event caterer, and graduating UCSB student. “There’s such a tight community here with so many dedicated people and students ready and willing to volunteer and create illuminating events like this for everyone to enjoy.”

F

or these six young artists, it’s likely that spring 2016 will be remembered as one of the greatest bursts of creative activity in their careers. This MFA show offers a sense of cascading inventiveness spilling out of the space and into the general atmosphere of UCSB’s campus center. For example, on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 (as she will every day at the same time until the show closes on May 29), Emily Baker appeared to activate her installation, and, in particular, to fulfill the title of the piece known as “Quiet Practice.” For approximately 15 minutes, Baker hung, hoisted, and flipped over a pull-up bar mounted high off the floor in a corner of the room. Her strenuous “Quiet Practice” routine included numerous moments in which her feet, legs, and back made contact with the wall, thus clarifying the origins of painted patches on the walls elsewhere in the space that were made when the artist, coated in black paint, climbed and then slid down a rope attached to metal beams along the ceiling. Breathing only a little harder than normal, Baker, who has been a competitive gymnast, took questions after the performance, explaining that her work has allowed her to explain the ways she feels about her body in flight to an art audience.

In the next room, Tom Pazderka’s brilliant, earthy sculptural installations reveal another form of acute consciousness, this one attuned to the obvious differences and subtler similarities between contemporary American and the Eastern Europe in which he was born and grew up. Demonstrating an equal facility with construction materials and critical theory, Pazderka has created an unforgettable universe out of cabins and cabinets, while in the process identifying a set of thinkers such as Martin Heidegger, Henry David Thoreau, and even the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, as “people of the cabin.” The mix of salvaged wood, skillful drawing, and profound reflection repays sustained attention, and is sure to gain Pazderka notice in the art world.

Morgan McAllister is a painter and sculptor who is primarily represented in this exhibition by a series of ambitious abstract paintings. “Eleutheromania” (2016) includes the gnomic inscriptions “WHEN FLOODED” and “DON’T DROWN,” and recalls the work of both Jean-Michel Basquiat in form and that of Willem de Kooning in palette.

For George Sanders, the last lap of grad school has meant a flourishing engagement with larger three-dimensional forms, all of them based in his long-standing commitment to examining the support system of painting.

By prototyping each of his constructions through multiple iterations in the studio, Sanders has developed a distinctive and instantly recognizable style and vocabulary within the idiom of art made from pre-existing building and packing supplies. “Invisible fresh” (2016) uses striped rope, poplar wood, and Flashe paint to create a scintillating and rigorous composition in line, light, color, and shadow.

Shannon Willis takes over the back room for “Falling in Love While Drowning” (2016), an immersive, video-based installation that also involved mirrors and lighting effects.

Swinging back and forth between soothing and harrowing, this highly personal work invites multiple visits and reflection.

Vanesa Gingold’s playful, exquisite sculptures and mobiles complete the exhibition, with a new work in the shape of a humansized cocoon occupying pride of place on a pedestal. Gingold’s work merges sophisticated draftsmanship with papermaking, sculpture, and even techniques derived from tent and basket design. Delicious, airy dreams like “Afterglow” (2016) reveal a powerful intellect from within the intricate traceries of their woven details. Like all the work in this exciting show, Gingold’s sculptures promise that the reputation of UCSB’s MFA program will only continue to grow in stature in coming years.

FRIDAY

VERY BE COOL: Very Be Careful is back in S.B. with a show at Del Pueblo Café, where the veteran vallenato group will bid farewell to staff member Huicho Mata, who is heading to New York City. His artwork on display will be for sale.

MeMorial Daze

by Richie DeMaria

MEMORIAL FOR REDS: This relatively chilly, foggy month of May is rolling out its final weekend of the year in that annual sun revolution that promises barbecues, camping trips, or just a day off to reflect. Perhaps you may have a nice, long weekend at home, and in your holiday reverie you may find yourself in the mood for some music.

Tonight, Thursday, May 26, DJ Darla Bea bids farewell to the beloved, funky little bar known as Reds Bin 211 (211 Helena Ave.) at 8 p.m. Reds is closing its doors. The owner of this Funk Zone watering hole, which was known for years as a locals-favorite venue with an eclectic mix of great live gigs, beverages, and tasty treats, has decided to pass the baton to other business owners. Many S.B. acts have passed through Reds’ storied doors, and many good times were shared over local brews, wines, or mixed drinks.

Though the Bin seemed to go through a variety of identities or presentations, it always maintained that distinctive Reds feel. Word on the street is that the owners of the Good Lion have something in mind for the locale.

Stay tuned.

SWEATER BEATS WEATHER: If you’re more in the mood to emulate an L.A. club experience, stroll over to SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Thursday night, where master Los Angeles remixer Sweater Beats kicks up the jams with Different Sleep and S.B.’s own Underbelly, starting at 9 p.m.

With Sweater Beats’ big, party-starting redos of hits like “Hey Ya!” and official reworks for artists like Flume, the BBC 1– and Boiler Room–featured deejay’s show should be a good way to herald the oncoming summer.

MUSIC NOTES FOR THE NOSE AND PALATE: Friday, May 27, is the Funk Zone Art Walk, when all the neighborhood’s galleries — some of them opening their doors for the very first time — welcome in the wine-loving wanderers and culture-craving adventurers. If your ears need a break from the sound of paintings hanging on walls, consider heading over to Pali Wine Co. (116 E. Yanonali St.), where singer/songwriter Valarie Mulberry and guitarist Ryan Daly soothe the ears and all the other senses in Pali’s pinot powerhouse, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Speaking of wineries, on the weekend, Zaca Mesa Winery (6905 Foxen Canyon Rd., Los Olivos) continues their grape-smashingly-good musical times with not one but two live music events. The first, on Saturday, May 28, is a Memorial Day Party, beginning at noon, with Sean Wiggins providing rock ’n’ roll with your riesling. The second, on Sunday, is its Sunday Concert Series, where you can picnic to the sumptuous adult contemporary sounds of L.A.’s Danielle Taylor starting at noon.

VERY VALLENATO: Very Be Careful, from L.A., will ignite the already dizzyingly, dazzlingly festive and vibrant décor of Del Pueblo Café (5134 Hollister Ave.) with its dizzyingly and dazzlingly fun music. For those who don’t know the group, Very Be Careful has captured corazones across the world with its dance-inducing Colombian vallenato music, a traditional cumbia sound with a heartbeat of accordion. The concert is also a fond farewell to Del Pueblo Café staff member Huicho Mata, who will be displaying, auctioning, and raffling off his artwork before he heads east to N.Y.C. Very be careful not to eat too many chips before your food arrives, no matter how yummy n — it’s very easy to do there.

Baskets F

The best documentary about a political campaign ever made.”

- Indiewire

One of TV’s Smartest Comedies

Movie Guide

X’s Baskets may be the best-kept secret on television; the show just wrapped its first season but seems to have flown under most of the small-screen-watching world’s radar. True, it may have put off viewers with its largely pathetic protagonist, bleak setting (a dusty Bakersfield, California), and slow, sad sense of humor. But what at first seems like a weird (and possibly failed) comedic experiment is actually a delicately crafted combination of the expected and unexpected — and one of the smartest comedies in recent TV memory.

It’s no wonder Baskets is both bumbling and brilliant — it’s written by the dark BASKET CASE: Zach Galifianakis plays failed rodeo clown Chip Baskets comedy trifecta of Louis C.K., Zach Gali- and his twin brother, dale, in his witty and weird FX series Baskets. fianakis, and Jonathan Krisel. Krisel comes to Baskets from Portlandia, which he directs and also Costco-loving mom who cares deeply for her sons and cowrites with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, her image — but in casting. She is played brilliantly by and similarities between the shows certainly exist. But the comedian Louie Anderson, who makes for an ever where Portlandia is in your face, Baskets is just a little brightly dressed, roughly 300-pound Baskets matriarch.

Baskets the rodeo clown is not funny. He does not off; where Portlandia embraces its own quirky nature, deliver the sharp one-liners that one might expect Baskets takes itself much more seriously.

The series stars Galifianakis as Chip, a clown who from a well-loved comedian playing a leading role, nor flunked out of a prestigious Paris clown school and is does he employ slapstick maneuvers like slipping on back in his hometown of Bakersfield, living with his an imaginary banana peel. Instead, Chip’s “art” involves mother and working as a rodeo clown.

After he evokes Louis C.K.’s tragically comedic life in his show gets in a scooter accident, Chip starts spending time Louie. As Chip, Galifianakis turns out a somber and with his Costco insurance adjuster, Martha (played by relatively sane force in a world of strange and comical stand-up comedian Martha Kelly), the show’s deadpan characters.

Though the episodes occasionally veer too much underdog. For one-liners and dry humor, the audience can rely on Martha, who, with her monotone voice and toward fart jokes (literally) or the sad-clown trope, the ever-drooping corners of her mouth, delivers most Baskets is mostly a fine balance of witty and weird that of the laughs.

The Nice Guys X-Men: Apocalypse (144 mins., PG-13) Director Bryan Singer’s latest in the X-Men franchise, this film sees the awakening of the first and most powerful mutant, Apocalypse, who has been in stasis for thousands of years. Unhappy with the new world order, Apocalypse recruits disenfranchised mutants to rid the earth of humankind and reinstate him as overlord.

NOW SHOWiNG The Angry Birds Movie (97 mins., PG)

You will get angry if you walk into this movie believing the advertisements that claim this is the next Lego Movie.

Nothing like. The first half is a poorly orchestrated setup that takes angerissues-challenged Red from outcast to hero fighting the invasion of Bird Island by green-egg-stealing pigs. But even the characterizations seem slapdash — birds keep shifting from imbecilic to genius with hardly any notification from the script writers to the audience. The second half is slapstick, and your formerly bored kids will come alive to cheer the critters better known from the world of smartphone game playing. They, and we, should have stayed there. (DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D & 3D)

A Bigger Splash (125 mins., R) Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, and Matthias Schoenaerts star in this mystery/ drama about a rock star and a filmmaker who, while on vacation on a remote Italian island, run into an old friend and his daughter.

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.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (92 mins., R)

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)

This sequel to the raunchy, hilarious film finds Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) once again at war with a wild neighbor— neighbor this time it’s a sorority whose sisters behave even more debauchedly than the duo’s former frat nemesis. The couple must call on former foe Teddy (Zac Efron) to help eject their new neighbors.

O The Nice Guys

(116 mins., R)

Plaza de Oro

Writer/director Shane Black has done more for the tough-guy movie than anybody since John Ford. Simultaneously full of testosterone and selfdepredation, The Nice Guys is a lot like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Last Action Hero, yet this preposterous story wound around porn films and the automobile’s role in poisoning our atmosphere is ridiculously beautiful, too. Russell Crowe, a professional thug, teams up with Ryan Gosling, an alcoholic privateeye screw-up, in a cherchez la femme that takes us on a choice violent tour of decadent Los Angeles circa 1977. It’s hilarious and 100 percent sentimentality free. (DJP)

The Meddler (100 mins., PG-13) After her husband dies, Marnie (Susan Sarandon) moves to Los Angeles from New York City to live near her daughter, Lori (Rose Byrne). At first Marnie meddles in Lori’s life (hence the title) but soon finds others more in need of her help.

ing director, Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts), must grapple with a hot-button issue — Wall Street greed— greed when a gunman (Jack O’Connell) straps a bomb to Gates’s chest on live TV, aiming to use his platform to get some answers after a plunging stock, which Gates had urged viewers to buy, caused the gunman to lose his savings. While Clooney and Roberts are predictably capable and fun to watch, director Jodie Foster’s take on the monstrous greed of Wall Street power players feels a bit silly and disjointed at times. (NC)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of may 26 ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): To convey the best strategy for you to employ in the coming weeks, I have drawn inspiration from a set of instructions composed by aphorist Alex Stein: Scribble, scribble, erase. Scribble, erase, scribble. Scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble. Erase, erase, erase. Scribble, erase. Keep what’s left. In other words, Aries, you have a mandate to be innocently empirical, robustly experimental, and cheerfully improvisational — with the understanding that you must also balance your fun with ruthless editing.

valuable to his creative process. Here’s his testimony: “In art, truth and reality begin when one no longer understands what one is doing or what one knows.”

I’m recommending that you try out his attitude, Cancerian. In my astrological opinion, the time has come for you to drum up the inspirations and revelations that become available when you don’t know where the hell you are and what the hell you’re doing.

she had as she contemplated the possibility of riding a raft down the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. Here’s how I suspect this meditation applies to you, Libra: There have been other times and there will be other times when you will have good reasons for not embarking on an available adventure. But now is not one of those moments.

stand and feel compassion for the ignorance that led us astray. Maybe we even find redemptive value in our apparent lapses; we come to see that they saved us from some painful experience or helped us avoid getting a supposed treasure that would have turned out to be a booby prize. Now would be a perfect time for you to observe this crooked holiday.

LEO

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Russian poet Vera Pavlova tells about how once when she was using a pen and paper to jot down some fresh ideas, she got a paper cut on her palm. Annoying, right? On the contrary. She loved the fact that the new mark substantially extended her life line. The palmistry-lover in her celebrated. I’m seeing a comparable twist in your near future, Scorpio.

A minor inconvenience or mild setback will be a sign that a symbolic revitalization or enhancement is nigh.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Sometimes the love you experience for those you care about makes you feel vulnerable.

You may worry about being out of control or swooping so deeply into your tenderness that you lose yourself. Giving yourself permission to cherish and nurture can make you feel exposed, even unsafe. But none of that applies in the coming weeks. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, love will be a source of potency and magnificence for you. It will make you smarter, braver, and cooler. Your words of power will be this declaration by Syrian poet Nizar Qabbani: “When I love / I feel that I am the king of time / I possess the earth and everything on it / and ride into the sun upon my horse.” (Translated by Lena Jayyusi and Christopher Middleton.)

(Apr. 20 - May 20): “One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being,” wrote Taurus memoirist May Sarton. That’s a dauntingly high standard to live up to, but for the foreseeable future it’s important that you try. In the coming weeks, you will need to maintain a heroic level of potency and excellence if you hope to keep your dreams on track and your integrity intact. Luckily, you will have an extraordinary potential to do just that. But you’ll have to work hard to fulfill the potential — as hard as a hero on a quest to find the real Holy Grail in the midst of all the fake Holy Grails.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): Proposed experiment: Imagine that all the lovers and would-be lovers you have ever adored are in your presence. Review in detail your memories of the times you felt thrillingly close to them. Fill yourself up with feelings of praise and gratitude for their mysteries. Sing the love songs you love best. Look into a mirror and rehearse your “I only have eyes for you” gaze until it is both luminous and smoldering. Cultivate facial expressions that are full of tender, focused affection. Got all that, Leo? My purpose in urging you to engage in these practices is that it’s the High Sexy Time of year for you. You have a license to be as erotically attractive and wisely intimate as you dare.

GEMINI

VIRGO

(May 21 - June 20): “Whatever you’re meant to do, do it now,” said novelist Doris Lessing. “The conditions are always impossible.” I hope you take her advice to heart, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, there is no good excuse for you to postpone your gratification or to procrastinate about moving to the next stage of a big dream. It’s senseless to tell yourself that you will finally get serious as soon as all the circumstances are perfect.

Perfection does not and will never exist. The future is now. You’re as ready as you will ever be.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): “Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others,” wrote editor Jacob M. Braude. Normally I would endorse his poignant counsel, but for the foreseeable future I am predicting that the first half of it won’t fully apply to you.

Why? Because you are entering a phase that I regard as unusually favorable for the project of transforming yourself. It may not be easy to do so, but it’ll be easier than it has been in a long time. And I bet you will find the challenge to reimagine, reinvent, and reshape yourself at least as much fun as it is hard work.

TAURUS

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): French painter Henri Matisse didn’t mind being unmoored, befuddled, or in-between.

THE INDEPENDENT

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Norway is mountainous, but its neighbor Finland is quite flat. A group of Norwegians has launched a campaign to partially remedy the imbalance. They propose that to mark the hundredth anniversary of Finland’s independence, their country will offer a unique birthday gift: the top of Halti mountain. Right now the 4,479-foot peak is in Norway. But under the proposed plan, the border between countries will be shifted so that the peak will be transferred to Finland. I would love for you to contemplate generous gestures like this in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’s a highly favorable time for you to bestow extra imaginative blessings. (P.S. The consequences will be invigorating to your own dreams.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): I believe that every one of us should set aside a few days every year when we celebrate our gaffes, our flaws, and our bloopers. During this crooked holiday, we are not embarrassed about the false moves we have made. We don’t decry our bad judgment or criticize our delusional behavior. Instead, we forgive ourselves of our sins. We work to under-

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): In November 1916, at the height of World War I, the Swedish schooner Jönköping set sail for Finland, carrying 4,400 bottles of champagne intended for officers of the occupying Russian army.

But the delivery was interrupted. A hostile German submarine sunk the boat, and the precious cargo drifted to the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The story didn’t end there, however. More than eight decades later, a Swedish salvage team retrieved a portion of the lost treasure, which had been well-preserved in the frosty abyss.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the exis‑ tence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, ben‑ eficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this prop‑ erty, you may call, 916‑939‑0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www. nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9551‑4786. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone informa‑ tion or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement infor‑ mation is to attend the scheduled sale.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
