Our former intern Michael Stout (left) returned to Santa Barbara this past week when the Red Cross recognized not only his military service but also his courage in openly speaking about the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder. The recognition was shared by The Indy and News Editor Tyler Hayden, who wrote in November about Stout’s experience navigating the Veterans Administration’s extremely slow counseling schedule. The former Marine corporal decided to pursue a BA in sociology at the University of Texas at Dallas, mostly because it gives him a chance to participate in a research project on PTSD: “I can talk with someone weekly,” he said. “The VA group meets monthly.” And he’ll be keeping the faith, using his degree to help his fellow vets after he graduates.

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Jacob Finerty, a Santa Barbara police officer since September 2011, was charged on 5/24 with four felonies linked to false workers’ compensation claims. Two counts allege Finerty made untrue written statements related to an injury; two allege false oral statements. Finerty, a Hesperia resident, has been on paid administrative leave since the criminal investigation began in 2014 and unpaid leave since the complaint’s filing.

He’s scheduled for arraignment on 6/24.

The 6/1 murder-suicide at UCLA hit close to home for Montecito’s Westmont College as authorities identified the murdered victim as alum William Klug, who graduated in 1997 with a bachelor of science in engineering physics. Klug had earned a master’s degree in civil engineering at UCLA and a doctorate at CalTech before returning to UCLA, where he was an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Klug, 39, was married with two children.

dems’ Big Night Clinton, Carbajal Post Major Victories

by N i c k W e l s h , kelsey Brugger, keith hamm, léNa garcia, and t y l e r h ay d e N anta Barbara Democratic Party

activists — galvanized by the national yin-yang polarities of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders — waged an all-hands-ondeck drive to get out the vote, dispatching hundreds of precinct walkers into the predawn darkness of Tuesday morning. Thirteen hours later, it was obvious their efforts had paid off. Not only had Democrats out-voterregistered their Republican counterparts by a 5-to-1 margin in the last five months, but they dramatically outvoted them on Election Day. In Santa Barbara County, Hillary Clinton narrowly beat Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination by less than 2 percentage points, but won decisively statewide, clinching her party’s nomination in a historic milestone. The Clinton-Sanders contest resonated powerfully among Santa Barbara County Democrats and helped swell the ranks of new, younger voters moved to action by “The Bern.” This was especially true in Isla Vista, where the Democratic machine turned out student voters in big numbers despite the pressing distractions posed by final exams. In the weeks immediately before the elections, both Clinton and Sanders campaigned in Santa Barbara, rallying their respective troops.

So, too, did Democratic candidate Kamala Harris—California Attorney General—and,

as of Tuesday night, top vote getter in the wide-open race to replace Barbara Boxer for U.S. Senate.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump — denounced two days before the election by many national Republican luminaries for “textbook” racist statements he made about the Mexican-American judge hearing a fraud case against Donald Trump University — obviously won Santa Barbara County as well as the state, but at significant cost to Republican turnout. Only 25,000 Santa Barbara Republicans voted in the presidential primary. That’s compared to 47,000 Democrats.

Of the voting Republicans, 7,000 cast protest ballots for party candidates who’ve long since dropped out of the race; Ohio Governor John Kasich, for example, picked up 3,071.

To the extent Trump got where he is by bashing Mexican immigrants, Santa Barbara Democrats responded by giving 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal — a Mexican immigrant—far and away the most votes in his bid to replace nine-term Congressmember Lois Capps as representative of the 24th Congressional District, which encompasses Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties and a slice of Ventura County. In an open primary contest with nine candidates, Democrat Carbajal secured more than 47,618 votes district-wide. That’s nearly 18,000 more than his next closest rival, Republican Justin Fareed —who got 29,902—and more than twice as many as Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider, his chief Democratic rival in the race.

Over the years, Capps was frequently dismissed by Republican opponents as a “nice lady” just before she cleaned their clocks.

Capps, in fact, is a nice lady, but she also assembled a formidable political campaign machine that knew how to raise money, get out the vote, train and nurture an intensely loyal staff, and redraw district maps that —at least for 10 years—gave her a massive advantage in terms of registered Democrats over Republicans. When Capps publically endorsed Carbajal shortly after announcing her retirement, she bequeathed unto him this campaign apparatus. Carbajal picked up Molly Culver, a get-out-the-vote campaign pro of the first order. Capps loaned Carbajal her priceless donor list for a mere $250. And with her help, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi inserted herself into a primary contest and endorsed Carbajal, thus throwing the weight of the National Democratic Party behind him.

A three-term county supervisor, Carbajal is a tough, ambitious moderate, graced with a congenial easy style and an omnipresent smile. He’s also a ruthless fundraiser, scaring off potential opponents over the years with his bulging campaign account. He’s never faced a single serious challenger. Thus far, he’s raised almost $1.9 million for his congressional campaign. And that does not include the $825,000 the House Majority PAC raised to buy ads singing Carbajal’s praises or relentlessly bloodying Achadjian’s nose.

Carbajal described the cont’d page 12 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities lodged a detainer on Justo Bueno-Palacios, 27, who’s been booked into County Jail 14 times since last October for a host of highly invasive but low-level prowling offenses. Santa Barbara Police issued a 5/31 public warning that he would soon be released from jail, but BuenoPalacios, an undocumented resident facing nine criminal charges, remains behind bars.

When the case has closed, ICE will take him into custody.

An indictment against Mark Melchiori alleges the former president of Melchiori Construction Company committed 47 felonies from 2006-2013. Melchiori, 49, faces charges from the District Attorney’s Office including embezzlement, insurance and wage fraud, violating the unemployment insurance code, and diverting construction funds, as well as three special allegations. The 5/31 complaint alleges Melchiori diverted more than $350,000 worth of construction funds received from filmmaker Robert Zemeckis over six years. The arraignment is scheduled for early July.

The blonde bandit who allegedly stole more than 20 cases of wine during the World of Pinot Noir event at Bacara Resort on 3/4 has been charged with felony grand theft. A single count was filed this week against Las Vegas schoolteacher Heather Avner Ogle by the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s Office, and the arraignment is scheduled for 7/6. If convicted, Ogle could face anything from probation to three years in county jail.

A growing number of frustrated and careless motorists in and around the busy intersection of San Ysidro Road and Santa Rosa Lane, where Montecito Union School (MUS) operates across the street from the YMCA, has prompted school officials to expedite their plan to improve the safety of its main drop-off/pickup lots. Walking and biking MUS parents and their children have experienced several vehicular near misses as impatient motorists get backed up behind red lights and crowded crosswalks. As problems mounted, the school posted more signage along San Ysidro and hired crossing guards and off-duty California Highway Patrol officers to better orchestrate the morning and afternoon congestion.

At a June 2 community meeting, Superintendent Tammy Murphy explained that the MUS Board of Trustees recently rescinded its May 3 decision to put a bond measure on the November ballot and will instead draw $2.5 million from school reserves to triple the size of one of its main drop-off/pickup lots and provide designated exit lanes to keep school-related motorists from slowing flow along busy San Ysidro Road.

“This is a big step forward,” Board President Mary Kirkhart said in a statement.

“After listening to the compelling urgency to protect our students and the public, the board determined the issue really cannot wait and must be addressed now.”

The board also agreed to subject the plan to an environmental impact report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act, though it was debatable whether such a study — at the cost of $95,000 — was necessary. “We wanted to leave no stone unturned,” Murphy said. “There’s a high level of scrutiny in this community. We said, ‘Why not do our full, due diligence?’”

The scope of the EIR will also include the school’s broader plan to comprehensively upgrade MUS’s 90-year-old main building and adjacent 60-year-old classrooms now home to kindergarten and 1st grade. The funding for that work would be the focus of a future bond measure, perhaps in 2018, with initial estimates coming in around $13 million. In the meantime, Murphy said the goal is to begin earthmoving on the traffic project next summer and have it completed before the first day of the 2017-18 school — Keith Hamm year.

Not your dad’s Woodshop

Woodshop class has come a long way since the days of oak cutting boards, mahogany salad bowls, and plywood skimboards.

Those classics are still getting turned out by students with a fondness for power tools, of course, but beyond the basics exists a whole new realm of woodworking: These kids are building houses.

Late last month, Santa Barbara High School (SBHS) received a lumber delivery for its inaugural Tiny Homes program. Over the 2016-17 school year, NOT ACTUAL SIZE: SBHS shop class with their Tiny Home model Advanced Woodworking and Construction Technology students — learning the necessary tools and techniques along the way — will build a 230-square-foot house, complete with a bathroom, kitchen appliances, solar panels, and a loft big enough for a queen-sized bed.

San Marcos and Dos Pueblos high school kids are also part of the program, with Dos Pueblos instructor Chris Mollkoy teaming up with SBHS’s Caleb Chadwick to spearhead the endeavor. Late next year, Chadwick said, the homes — which are fastened to road-ready flatbed trailers instead of permanent foundations — will be auctioned off to finance the following year’s program. He estimates each home will cost about $28,000 to build.

Seed money for this debut, Chadwick said, came from a $50,000 grant from the Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara, on top of lasting support from the TRADART Foundation for career development. “TRADART has really kept all our woodshops open,” Chadwick added.

“I really like working with my hands,” said SBHS senior Marco Bautista, who’s currently putting year-end touches on a jewelry cabinet and helped build a quarter-scale model (pictured) of next year’s tiny home. “I like new projects, just building things.”

COuNTY The county supervisors unanimously voted 6/7 to allot $475,000 in federal housing grants to the Good Samaritan Shelter to purchase and rehabilitate for formerly homeless veterans a six-bedroom residence in Orcutt. Two neighbors objected, voicing concerns about safety, among other things.

Supervisor Peter Adam, who supported the motion noting the minimal opposition, asked County Counsel if criteria — clean and sober or strictly vets only, for instance — could be stipulated as part of the deal.

The answer was no. However, county officials could work out a voluntary agreement with Good Samaritan.

Attorneys for Plains-All American Pipeline — now facing 46 criminal charges in connection with last May’s Refugio Oil Spill — last week made it clear they’re seeking to keep transcripts of the Grand Jury proceedings leading to the indictments under wraps, arguing their public release could prejudice their client’s ability to get a fair trial. Deputy District Attorney Kevin Weichbrod made it equally clear that he plans to challenge that motion. The first hearing on the matter has been scheduled for 6/16.

News of theWeek

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico created long-term effects still harming underwater food webs and deepwater fish and coral, according to a recent UCSB study. UCSB Marine Science Institute oceanographer Uta Passow and others have discovered that contaminants from the 2010 spill still linger in the water’s subsurface.

Scientists found that oil remnants — combined with microscopic algae and other marine debris — create a “dirty blizzard,” which sinks to the seafloor.

EDuCATION Isla Vista Elementary School parents and administrators appear to have put the brakes on a major reconfiguration of the busy intersection of El Colegio and Storke roads that they say would endanger the lives of schoolkids and other pedestrians.

The primary concern is UCSB’s plan to create a new right-hand turn lane that will feed westbound El Colegio motorists onto northbound Storke without providing crossing pedestrians any way to stop that flow of traffic. Last week, parents fired off emails to UCSB and Santa Barbara County Public Works Department, which must sign off on the plan. Replying to parents, Administrative Services Vice Chancellor Marc Fisher said UCSB “is equally concerned about the safety of those moving through this intersection, especially youngsters. We are working closely with County Public Works and the consulting engineers to [include] a light at the right turn.” n

No assisted suicide at cottage

T

by N i c k W e l s h wo days before California’s assistedsuicide law was slated to take effect this Thursday, Cottage Health issued a statement announcing its staff and facilities would not participate in helping terminally ill patients end their own lives. “While we respect an individual’s right to make this very personal choice, as a care provider we have drafted a policy stating we will not participate in the option the new law authorizes,” the statement read. Cottage said it would continue to provide end-of-life counseling, pain management, and palliative care, but added the new law does not require a hospital setting for implementation. Instead, Cottage stated, for those who are determined to have no more than six months left to live, the law provides the option “to spend final moments of life in a home or home like setting.”

The law —the End of Life Option Act, passed last fall — is strictly voluntary and allows individual doctors and medical institutions to bail out. Last week, about 80 doctors and medical professionals discussed the bill with a Bay Area consulting firm specializing in such matters. The reaction, according to palliative care provider Dr. Dennis Baker,

was decidedly mixed.“The people have spoken; they want the option of going out on their own terms. I get that,” he said. “But it’s hard for doctors to come around to playing an active role in their patients’ deaths.”

The gathering was part of the “grand rounds” that Cottage Health hosts once a month to allow medical health professionals to talk about matters of broader medical concern. Baker said it made little sense to hospitalize individuals seeking a medically assisted suicide; the law itself includes a two-week waiting period. “This is something that should happen in the home or hospice,” Baker added. By law, attending physicians must first determine their patients have six months or less to live, a finding that must then be verified by another doctor.

The patients must also submit paperwork stating they were not coerced or pressured.

How all this shakes out has yet to be seen.

The assisted-suicide bill was signed into law late last summer by Governor Jerry Brown.

Santa Barbara’s State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson strongly supported the bill, while Assemblymember Das Williams—normally on the same side of most issues—opposed it just as vehemently. n

The outcome of several of the races was predictable. State Assemblymember Das Williams, for example, was expected to win handily over Jennifer Christensen to replace Carbajal as 1st District Supervisor, and he did so. But no one expected Williams — an outspoken environmentalist and supporter of the $15 minimum wage—to win the Chamber of Commerce endorsement, but he did.

While Christensen—a self-described “firsttime candidate with zero name recognition” — never got within striking distance, she raised more than a respectable amount of money and also got a respectable 7,391 votes compared to Williams’s 10,702. “I won’t be running for State Senate in 2020,” she said, taking a jab at Williams for starting a fundraising committee for a possible Senate bid in 2020. Williams has said that was a placeholder

committee to allow him to raise funds for fellow assemblymembers before joining Santa Barbara’s Board of Supervisors and doesn’t reflect his actual intentions. The addition of Williams, far more outspoken and confrontational than Carbajal, to the Board of Supervisors could alter the fundamental chemistry of the board in terms of personality and politics that transcend ideology. The widespread suspicion Williams will soon be running for State Senate makes his transition even more fraught.

Likewise, Peter Adam — outspokenly conservative, governmental minimalist, and farmer—beat challenger and first-time candidate Eduardo Ozeta, who also happens to be an SEIU union representative, a registered Republican, and proud NRA member. Ozeta raised big bucks from the Chumash casino

and public employee unions, but still lost to Adam by a 2-to-1 margin. Adam was the only incumbent running for supervisor.

The most strategically significant local race was for the 3rd Supervisorial District seat— the key swing vote defining the political tilt of the board as a whole. Planning commissioner and Buellton resident Joan Hartmann — backed by the environmental Democratic machine—wound up taking 1,100 votes more than her chief rival, Santa Ynez school board member Bruce Porter, who was backed by many ranchers, farmers, oil companies, and developers in a five-way race. Hartmann and Porter—who both sport impressive professional and educational résumés — will face each other in a runoff this November in what will be a classic North County-South County cultural-political showdown. Because stu-

dent voters—disproportionately liberal and Democratic — traditionally show up in large numbers during presidential elections, Hartmann is given good odds of prevailing come November.

In two key races, the incumbents ran all but unopposed and won almost as easily as if they were. Democratic State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson easily beat challenger Colin Patrick Walch — 47,267 to 29,733 — in perhaps the most nonexistent campaign Jackson has ever run. Democratic Santa Barbara school boardmember Monique Limón beat her opponent, Edward Fuller, by more than 2-to-1 in her first bid for the State Assembly.

Mace Doane Perona 08/02/39-05/28/16

Mace Doane Perona of Santa Barbara, California passed away peacefully May 28, 2016, in the arms of his loving wife, Sue Perona. Mace battled heart disease the last three years and is now at peace.

He was born in Santa Maria, California, August 2, 1939. He loved life and lived it to its fullest. Mace began teaching at SBCC in 1972 in the English Department.

He later introduced a Film Studies class that became the SBCC Film Department.

He was an exceptional athlete, marathon runner, world traveler, husband, father and grandfather. In his own words he once said, “I have said good-bye to some special friends, but I have also laughed with my grandsons: Dante, Dario and Damian. I have learned to cherish the sacredness of the now, the uniqueness of the moment, the rarity of friendships and the miracle of love. My life has been a ‘moveable feast,’ and I have not yet lost my appetite.” Mace is survived by his wife, Sue, daughter Severn, and three grandsons, Dante, Dario and Damian. He will be loved and missed but will live forever in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, gifts can be made to Santa Barbara Community College Center for lifelong learning at 310 W. Padre St. Santa Barbara, CA 93105, or sbcc.edu

was always completely present when spending time with people and made a point of removing distractions because “nothing is more important than talking to the person you are with.” He had a great sense of priorities, valuing his relationships and humanity above all and modeled this for his family. Bob had a very broad knowledge base and was the “go-to” person in the family for decades whenever they needed help or advice about life’s challenges.

He is survived by wife Eleanore Harbottle, son Steve Harbottle (Diane) and daughter Janette Harbottle Hope (Bradley). He is also survived by his sisters Millicent Gann and Maria Alexander and brother Julius Schnell and grandchildren Amber, Kelly, Michelle, David and Sophia. He was predeceased by his parents; sisters Marjorie, Patia, and Dori; and brother Roy. Bob’s family would like to thank staff and friends and nurse Rose at Wood Glen Hall, the staff and doctors at Cottage Hospital, Dr. Zylstra, Dr. Blum, Cardiologists- Dr. Vogel, Dr. McFadden, Dr. Bonametti, and Dr. Watson and the now deceased surgeon Dr. David Davidson, whose immediate and highly skilled action in the face of what would have been an unavoidably fatal event, gave Bob and his family over 30 healthy and happy years together. They would like to thank the staff at the Californian and Casa Rhoda and Assisted Home Health and Hospice for the care, attention and support they provided to Bob and his family during the last month of his life.

He will be greatly missed.

Priscilla Bender-Shore passed away Friday, May 20, 2016, at the age of 90.

Despite diminishing health in the last few months, her exceptional spirit and hope for the future never faltered. An intellectual and cultural powerhouse with a commitment to making the world a better place, she was also a foundation of love and support for her family.

Born in the Bronx in New York City on May 2, 1926, Priscilla attended Washington Irving High School for girls. In her sophomore year, her first art teacher reported to her mother that Priscilla was gifted and became her mentor. One of her drawings was submitted in a Macy's exhibit, sponsored

by Higgins Ink Co. and Priscilla won 1st prize. After graduating high school in 1942, Priscilla took the competitive entrance exam for the Cooper Union School of Art in 1943 and was admitted for a 3-year program. She graduated in 1946 with a special fine art award, and then attended Yale School of Art in New Haven, CT, from 1949-1951 on scholarship. She left Yale in 1951 to marry Merle Shore, a graphic designer and illustrator.

They moved to Annapolis, MD, in 1951 where Merle chose to attend the St. John's College Great Books program.

When the school opened its doors to women for the first time in its history,

Priscilla was accepted on full scholarship, graduating in 1955, one year after Merle. This 4-year, non-elective BA program became their educational cornerstone, reflecting their passion for learning, dialogue, inquiry and discussion.

In 1957, Merle and Priscilla moved to Santa Barbara, CA, and Priscilla returned to school to obtain her MFA at UCSB, graduating in 1969. In 1966, Merle and Priscilla founded Village Frame, a comprehensive art service and framing business in Montecito. In 1971, Priscilla took a position at Santa Barbara City College, teaching art there for 25 years. Loving what she did as an artist and a teacher, Priscilla touched the lives of hundreds of students, making lifelong friends and helping to develop the arts in Santa Barbara.

In 1988, Priscilla won the Lila Acheson Wallace National Painting Competition, resulting in a 6-month residency in Giverny, France, where Claude Monet lived and painted. Her work has been exhibited in Europe and the United States and is represented in many collections. She has a long resume of both jurying and curating local, regional and national exhibitions in painting, drawing and photography.

Priscilla has had 23 one-person exhibitions (including PS1 in New York City which has now incorporated into MoMA PS1) and 57 group shows. Her most recent show, a retrospective of her work at the Marcia Burtt Gallery in Santa Barbara, was in October 2014.

Throughout the years that she returned to school for her MFA and then worked both at Village Frame and SBCC, Priscilla continued to develop her career as an artist. But she was also a devoted mother, raising a family and nurturing all who crossed her path. Taking care of Merle in the waning years of his life, she was patient, strong and unswerving in her loyalty and compassion — she was goodness personified. A political animal at heart, Priscilla stayed connected to the national pulse of the country, passionate about improving the lives of those around her and making sure her vote counted.

Above all she loved her family. She is survived by her children, Evan Shore and Ann Shore Jactel; her son-in-law Bruno Jactel; and her grandchildren, Samuel, Sarah and Sophia Jactel.

The family thanks Cottage Hospital and Santa Barbara Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care at Serenity House for their humane and professional care. Donations can be made in the name of Priscilla Bender-Shore to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (www.ccfa.org/get-involved/ donate-to-ccfa/honors-and-memorial).

Dennis Shaughnessy 07/04/44-05/30/16

Dennis Shaughnessy passed away peacefully in the company of his loving family Memorial Day evening. He was an incredibly committed and respected member of the Santa Barbara community throughout his long and illustrious

career in the County Probation Department. He cared deeply about helping kids and family through mentoring, tutoring, and coaching at the Boys and Girls Club, Cesar Chavez School, and Santa Barbara Junior High school. He volunteered for many years at Transition House. He was also a deeply committed family man, and his retirement provided him with his passionate love of the three “G”s: Granddaughters, Golf, and the Gauchos. Dennis is survived by his beloved children; son Brendan, daughter and son-in-law Erin and Chris Henson, precious granddaughters Chloe and Emma, former wife Gail Shaughnessy, sisters Annita (John) Homlitas, Kathy (Rudy) Luhaney, and many extended family members and friends with whom he was close. The family would like to thank Dr. Mukul Gupta for 10 years of outstanding care, and Visiting Nurse & Hospice, especially his nurse Marcella. A mass celebrating his life was held at Our Lady of Sorrows and officiated by his dear friend Father Michael Mahoney on Tuesday, June 7. Donations can be made to Transition House.

and restoring homes. He was fortunate to make a second career in a job that he loved so much. He could work without all the deadlines and paperwork that he couldn't stand and was able to be creative with all the reclaimed and salvaged materials he incorporated into various projects. He was well-known and liked around Santa Barbara and even more well-known for his pea green Datsun truck, which had a rack made out of galvanized pipe, usually with a rubber chicken dangling from the back. He loved going to his favorite coffee shops in the mid-afternoon to chat and take a break from the countless hours he spent at his jobs. Although he was very successful in his career, he is best known for his beaming personality and unparalleled sense of humor.

He loved to make people laugh and was incredibly witty with his comedic timing and practical jokes. He was a loving husband and an amazing father who was able to provide a wonderful life for his family. Although they had made frequent trips to Germany and Europe, in later years they were very content with their routine in Santa Barbara and were blessed with a lot of family and friends.

Howard will be missed more than words can say. He was joking around up until the moment he left us.

Zygmunt and Helena Weyna, Santa Barbara residents of the San Roque area, were born in Poland in 1920 and 1925, respectively. They both left their native homes at the beginning of WWII. Zygmunt, who had joined the Polish Air Force in 1939, walked over the mountains to Romania, where he was interned and escaped, going via Beirut, Lebanon, to Lyon, France, where he continued his training. When the Germans attacked France, he walked all the way to Paris, and then hitched a ride to Dunkirk and was evacuated to England. He became a bomber pilot and flew raids on the submarine pens at Ostend, on the dams at Essen, on Berlin, Hamburg and Dresden, on Monte Cassino, Italy, and on the oil fields at Ploesti, Romania. He received the highest Polish decoration for bravery, the Virtuti Militari medal, and was one of the pallbearers at General Sikorski's funeral. He ended the war with the rank of Captain (Flight Lieutenant) in the Royal Air Force.

Helena was taken by the Soviet invaders of her hometown, Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania), together with her mother, and was forced to work as a slave laborer in agriculture, living in a cattle car, from the Urals to Siberia and Mongolia. When Russia was attacked by Hitler in 1941, they were released as relatives of Allied soldiers and made the long trek to England with stops at Tehran (Iran), Tanganyika (East Africa) and Durban (South Africa) along the way.

Zygmunt and Helena met and were married in 1947, and their marriage endured for 68 years. In 1952, they came to the United States as “Displaced Persons,” along with their first son. Though Zygmunt tried to find a job flying for one of the American airlines, and was recruited by both TWA and Flying Tiger, the McCarthyite rules kept him from being hired until he was a citizen. When he gained citizenship a few years later, he was told he was too old to be hired.

They lived in Los Angeles, where they raised two sons. While there, they often hosted visiting Polish athletes, opera stars, professors and folk dance performers, taking them to such places as Yosemite, the Southern California beaches and mountains and, of course, their dream city, Santa Barbara.

Helena was endlessly creative. She did commercial embroidery and was well known for her folk art of paper cutting, for which she won several awards.

Among her friends, she was a legendary cook and baker, and invitations to their home for Easter or Christmas were cherished by all. In 1981, Helena and Zygmunt achieved their dream of settling in Santa Barbara and made several local friends there.

Zygmunt, who suffered from PTSD all his adult life, took up tennis to release stress and became very adept, often beating much younger players. He was passionate about opera, his garden and home. As he lost his eyesight due to macular degeneration, he most regretted not being able to read.

Zygmunt and Helena maintained a close relationship with their sons and independent.com

grandchildren, visiting with them several times a year. Both suffered from various ailments but kept up the old person's mantra of “I’m fine” long past the time they could have used some help. Helena died in May 2015 from heart problems, and Zygmunt died in May 2016 from natural causes. He had become a greatgrandfather in March of this year and was proud of it. They were both longstanding members of the San Roque Catholic Church.

They are survived by two sons, two grandchildren and one great-grandchild, plus Zygmunt’s brother in New York, the last of Zygmunt’s eight siblings.

Theodore Eimon Knudson 08/29/25-05/24/16

Theodore Eimon Knudson, our beloved husband, father and grandfather, peacefully entered the life eternal on May 24, 2016. Ted was born in Los Angeles to Harry and Ann Knudson on August 29, 1925. He grew up in the Hermon district of Highland Park in Los Angeles and graduated from Franklin High School in 1942. In 1951 he received a BA degree in industrial arts from the Santa Barbara College of the University of California (Riviera Campus). Later, he earned a master's degree in administration from USC. He started his career teaching junior high school in La Canada. He also taught at John Muir High School in Pasadena and at Cal State Los Angeles.

On December 22, 1961, he married Gerda Nergaard. They moved from Pasadena to Goleta in 1967, when Ted accepted a position with the Santa Barbara High School District. He taught classes in woodworking, drafting and architecture at Dos Pueblos and San Marcos high schools and at La Colina Junior High School, retiring in 1988. In earlier years, Ted made many camping and fishing trips with his father. While studying at UCSB, he established lifelong friendships with classmates, including his brothers of Sigma Tau Gamma. Ted designed and constructed 3 houses for his family. Most of his adult life he enjoyed sailing a Geary 18 (Flattie), and the many friends he made through sailing activities. He loved camping and attending regattas in his motor home. In retirement he traveled to Baja, China, and Scandinavia and took cruises to the Panama Canal, the Mediterranean, Europe and South America.

Ted was a 45-year member of Christ Lutheran Church in Goleta and treasured his relationship with the Lord and the fellowship and hugs of many friends there.

He is survived by Gerda, his wife of 54 years, and sons Gregory (Karen Hui) and Christopher (Tami) and grandchildren Isadora, Julianna and Harry Matthew. He is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Betty Jones. A celebration of his life will be held on June 11 at 1:00 PM at Christ Lutheran Church, 6595 Covington Way in Goleta. In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations to the Christ Lutheran Church Scholarship Fund, the UCSB Alumni Scholarship Fund or the Food Bank.

Parking Lot 9 Guitar

I

had an epic night back in March. Playing guitar in Parking Lot 9 downtown, this guy comes by and leans on the wall nearby, a little smile on his face.

He listens to a few tunes, until finally I said, “You look familiar.” He introduces himself, causing me to have a finger-seizure and flub a chord. It’s the master singer/ songwriter fingerstyle guitar player David Wilcox, in town on tour. I offer my guitar for him to taste the spot’s epic acoustics, and he lets out a trademark Wilcox giggle of glee. And he composes on the fly and sings a beautiful, wistful song about me in this acoustic “concrete guitar” (which I iPhone YouTube). After he leaves, I’m hovering; I’m so stoked.

And it’s at this high-water moment when it all comes crashing down. A guy, just doing his job, calls the police to actually enforce this no-play zone, which they do, quite kindly. After 11 years, I post a good-bye on Facebook, and to my surprise, 17,000 views later, along with a very kind article and poll in The Santa Barbara Independent, another article in the Montecito Journal, and boodles of supportive comments, Santa Barbara’s government goes to the trouble to move bureaucratic goalposts and issue a special permit to play. Real people, beaming a warm ray of sunshine through all the daily grit.

Maybe next time, anger or red tape will win out, and I’ll be stopped again. But that just makes every minute I have the privilege to play more precious. Thanks to those who bothered to pause and appreciate or offer comments, and to all who helped move the machinery, and to you writers and regular folks for sharing, to Steve Key and Dorian Michael for the “Parking Lot Nine” song, and my wife, Shannon, for putting up

with my bizarre pastime. It is a cold, ugly, greasy stage … and an honor to have the opportunity to fill it with sound again. I’ve always had a crush on Santa Barbara.

Right now it’s true love.

Road Race 2016

A

s a retired guy who volunteers for groups on either end of our community, I am often on the 101 at various times most days. Over the last six months I have noticed a sharp increase in the number of accidents both on the 154 and 101. Lately it seems to happen daily.

In my driving experience I notice two things: (1) There’s a complete free-for-all on our roadways: People drive well above the posted limit; they weave from lane to lane at excessive speeds and drive 10 feet from your rear bumper. (2) There’s a complete lack of Highway Patrol presence as a deterrent; you only see a cop when there is a wreck and they come to close the highway.

I would urge the CHP to show a bigger presence and get this situation under control. I would rather suffer a month of traffic slowdowns due to police pulling over speeders and reckless drivers than to take my life in my hands when I enter the highway. With nothing to keep them in check, people believe there are no rules, and our roadways have become dangerous.

Our Annual Outdoor Adventure Guide

E

very year around this time, we present a collection of adventure stories designed to inspire your own excursions into the great outdoors.

This year, we may be hitting more angles than ever before. We’ve got kids flying, teens sailing, thru-hikers doing amazing treks, families biking to camp, and even a more leisurely jaunt through wine country on two wheels. Plus, there’s the everuseful Adventure for Hire listing of companies to help you achieve similar fun. Enjoy—and then get out there!

Little Pilot Follows Birds in Flight words and photos by Carolina Starin

“H

i, mama!” echoes a tiny voice from the sky underneath the shadow of a green parachute in pursuit of a soaring red-tailed hawk. The hawk, along with the voice, is caught in a thermal uprising coming off the warming Pacific during a paragliding practice jump at Elings Park.

The voice is from my 5-year-old son, Nikita Gruzdev, as he circles the sky on a tandem jump with Mitch Riley of Eagle Paragliding. The team floats in and out of the line of sight with the sun as they drift through the Sunday sky. After about 15 minutes of airborne time, the duo glides in for a perfect touchdown in the long grasses among a dozen paragliding students and some tiger-colored greyhounds.

Nikita’s smile covers his face as the squealing ensues. “It’s fun, mama. It’s really, really fun!” he says, immediately asking for more. “It’s like eating air!”

Riley laughs as he recoils the thin fibers and doublechecks Nikita’s multi-buckle harness. Within minutes they are repositioned, run a few steps into the afternoon air, and are again in flight.

Nikita’s tiny green sneakers poke out in front of him as he reclines in his first-class canvas seat.

Riley understands the thrill flying holds for kids. He took his first flight when he was 8 years old and has now been mimicking birds professionally for more than 10 years. The youngest tandem rider he has ever flown with was 3 years old, and the youngest he has certified was 13.

“It’s more of a maturity thing than an age limit,” he said of his youngest certified student.“She has a really good head on her shoulders, makes good decisions, and has great skills.”

Riley has been flying all over the world, including three winters teaching and flying tandems in the Himalayas of

SOAR TIME: Nikita Gruzdev and Mitch Riley prepare to fly at Elings Park.

Nepal. “It’s my obsession and occupation,” he said.

He has also flown professionally in India, Colorado, Idaho, and now Santa Barbara.“This is a good place to work in the industry,” he explained. “It’s great to fly in the mountains.” His longest flight in this area was to Santa Maria and back.

The car ride home is filled with Nikita’s tall tales of touching red-tailed hawks in flight and recounting the miniature size of the things below— below namely, me. “Do you know how little you were from up there?” asks Nikita. “Like an ant!”

When asked if he is interested in someday learning to fly solo, he said,“When I’m a fireman, and I’m not busy spraying out volcanoes, then I’m going to do some more paragliding.”

Then his grandfather raised a warning: “I think he’s going to be a thrill seeker.”

e’d left the house in a state of disarray.

Against my better judgment, we’d pedaled down the driveway with bikes packed full, my mind echoing,“You’re supposed to clean up before you leave!”

We did not do so — just one of the rules we were breaking on our last-minute bike camping trip.

The logistics of daily life with young children can be overwhelming.

To cope, we fall into a routine. We move through the house as passing ships, checking itineraries and taking inventory. But one Friday night found us up late, packing bags together, reminiscing about past trips, and loading up for a mini adventure.

We got an early start. Our toddler rode on the back of my bike. My husband, Dan, pulled our preschooler on a trailer-bike, as well as a trailer with all of our camping gear.

Coasting down State Street and along the waterfront, we were feeling strong and on schedule to cover the 15 miles to Carpinteria before midday. Then the toddler fell asleep an hour early.

As we rolled into Summerland’s Lookout Park, I tried to let go of the nagging thought that we were ruining nap time. I parked the bike under a tree and laid down on a bench. The sun felt warm on my back, waves crashed in the distance, and my eyes, when I opened them, took in the view of the playground and my family. Rolling out, our little crew felt mighty. There’s a simplicity and a freedom to realizing that your entire world fits onto a 21-foot, self-propelled bike train.

We pulled into a packed Carpinteria State Beach. The kids hopped off of the bikes and

were immediately filthy. They rolled plastic construction vehicles and their bodies through the dirt, making engine noises and reveling in the captive audience of their parents. No dishes to do, no Play-Doh to scrape off the floor, no calls to make. We chased each other through the Tomol playground, waved at the trains rolling by, and pedaled up the street for burgers and celebratory sundaes.

The evening found us sitting in the sand, watching the orange sun dissolve into the sea for the first time in a long time, sharing a conversation punctuated by somersaults, sand throwing, and an impromptu ocean swim. In the morning, tent packed and joints achy from the night of contorted rest, we assembled for a family photo, evidence of our shared journey. As we pedaled out, the toddler nodded off, and we all fell into a steady rhythm.

We returned to the same messy house, the same messy lives—but a little stronger for the experience. Sometimes in our busy, scattered days, we lose track of each other.

We forget to reach past the familiarity of our routine; we forget to reach out to each other.

Sometimes a long bike ride is the best way to bring us back home. t

Gear to Get

FITNESS TRACKERS: The Fitbit was the “must-have” for a little bit, but Garmin’s wearable technology trumps it. Both activity trackers monitor a range of statistics, offering altimeters, color LED screens, and GPS gauged mileage, but the Garmin Vivoactive measures shot distance in golf and yardage to front, middle, and back of green. Its waterproof swim-tracking capabilities make Garmin the go-to activity monitor for 2016.

New features include night-photo mode, time-lapse video mode, Bluetooth connectivity, and increased video size to 4K. E-TAP GEAR SHIFTER: Want to get your cycle on without manually shifting gears?

Shift electronically and wirelessly with the SRAM model E-Tap shifter. Special order the group set through Open Air Bicycles, or bare-bones the upgrade with two derailleurs and shifters (requires frame set compatible with electronic shifting). “There’s skepticism around performance and price tag, but it’s the future of gear shifting,” explained Nelson Monge of Open Air. “The as-yet-to-be-released Shimano’s XT Di2 for mountain bikes will be more reasonably priced than what’s out there today.”

WILDERNESS WALKIE-TALKIE: The GoTenna is a current must-have. According to REI sales manager Bradley Johnson, it’s like “a glorified, really powerful walkie-talkie, creating a connection between individuals in remote areas.

You can send up to 700 text messages up to four miles, and your GPS location, too, so there’s a safety aspect to it also.”

Sea Cave Kayaking at Channel Islands National Park

WIND AND WISDOM: The Sea Shells learn about sailing and life every Sunday down at West Beach.

national flair, with members originally from Ireland, France, Sweden, and Italy. There’s no formal coaching but plenty of helping hands, especially for parents who have little to no experience. Now that the club offers 13 boats to rent for $125 a season — rather than the old mandate that each family own a boat, which costs from $500 to twice as much — there’s hope more new families will come aboard in the years to come.

After rigging in the harbor and sailing to West Beach, where beach towels, coolers, and family members line up near the anchored boats, the Sea Shells gather around the mast to start organizing their four half-hour races for the day, which start around 1 p.m. for the youngest novices and move on toward the more skilled classes, plus a round for parents. By 4 p.m., the sails are typically coming down back in the harbor, and stored away in the lockers that the club’s $235 annual fee covers.

Though the winds were a bit too strong to throw Mason on a boat with a teenager, I did hop on the Feva again with Katherine from Brittany. Soon I was riding high on the side of the boat as we sliced through the water, a brisk reminder of how exhilarating this sport can be. Then we passed her son as he aimed for the next buoy. “I’m winning!” he yelled excitedly to his proud mom.“Keep your focus!” she hollered back.

For all the competition and positive side effects, though, having a good time on the water remains the Sea Shells’ greatest charge. Said one freckle-faced girl to me as we watched the next race,“You have no idea how much fun it is!”

he wind was already whipping a few Sundays ago around noon as a small army of kids and their parents rigged up small Sabot sailboats and slightly larger Fevas on the ramps of the Santa Barbara Harbor. By the time I hopped onto one of those Fevas with my 6-year-old son, Mason, and our skipper-to-be, Marco Scussat, serious gusts began pushing us out of the harbor and toward the shore of West Beach, where the sails of anchored boats snapped in the breeze.

I manned the jib as we tacked past the pelicans and seals perched on the bait docks, which forced me to recall sailing lessons from a decade ago. As Scussat patiently reminded me what to do, I ducked the boom repeatedly and flopped like a fish from side to side in the cramped hull of the boat, trying not to flip us. Mason, meanwhile, smiled from ear to ear, his face sprinkled with saltwater, his hair blowing wildly as we raced through the waters off Stearns Wharf.

We were on deck to check out the weekly running of the Santa Barbara Sea Shells, an all-volunteer organization of about three dozen families who meet every Sunday from April to October to teach their kids, aged 7-18, how to sail. Along the way, the kids learn to respect the ocean, help each other when in trouble, and find strength in themselves.“We’re not only training the sailing skills of the kids but also their personality,” said Scussat, who’s seen his own two kids gain confidence, self-esteem, patience, and more. “These are all values that we believe sailing can help foster.”

Now in its 68th year, the current class of Sea Shells includes some families stretching back three generations, many parents with multiple kids involved, and an inter-

Nira Camp to Carrizo Plain words and photos by Chuck Graham

I

’d finished off my last water bottle a while ago. The Sisquoc River was in my rearview mirror, and the sweeping Salisbury Potrero beckoned, its rolling meadows and sandstone pinnacles a dreamscape among the living. I was in the midst of connecting the Los Padres National Forest to the last of California’s grasslands on the Carrizo Plain National Monument — two mountain ranges down and one to go.

But I desperately needed water, and the available springs weren’t proving fruitful. Fortunately, it snowed recently atop the Sierra Madre Ridge, so while I walked west toward the Montgomery Potrero, I found some shade along with patches of crunchy snow.

My wife, Lori, dropped me at Nira in February, and I would meet her four days later on the breathtaking grasslands. Following the sounds of cool water spilling over rock along the Manzana Creek, it wasn’t long before I was up and over the San Rafael Mountains, where sandstone monoliths, pinnacles, and cliffs dominated the rugged landscape.

But that snow rejuvenated me. I scraped as much as I could into whatever I could and hauled it over near the Rocky Ridge Trail. It felt too hot for February. It was 70 degrees atop the Sierra Madre, and I needed more liquids.

I went over to the Montgomery Spring, which has always been a trickle, and discovered a plastic jug full of water. I drank it down and positioned the jug to catch more spring-fed water ready by morning. When I returned the next morning, I discovered an animal had knocked the jug over. No water— water again.

by Tyler Hayden

s a Santa Barbara city dweller, my outdoor time is almost always spent at the beach or in the foothills. When I do head to North County, it’s usually to eat and drink; rarely am I outside a car or winery. (Cue the violins.) But this past Sunday, on a 10-mile bike ride past quiet horse farms and lush row crops, I finally realized what I’d been missing: the chance to immerse in a bucolic, clear-aired landscape different from any other weekend getaway on the South Coast.

Santa Barbara Adventure Company, while better known for its Channel Islands kayaking trips, also offers a mellower wine-country bike tour through the Santa Ynez Valley. Our trip began in an air-conditioned van with the guide, Caco, talking our group of eight through the basics and history of Santa Barbara winemaking — how a San Franciscan planted 20 varietals on Santa Cruz Island in the late 1800s, when the valley began blossoming in the 1970s into what’s grown to more than 150 wineries, and why the area’s east-west mountains and steady ocean breeze can grow both cooler chardonnays and pinots and warmer grapes such as syrah and cabernet.

We made our first stop at The Brander Vineyard on North Refugio Road. On our way up the peachcolored steps to the tasting room, Caco pointed out a pepper tree and bushes of rosemary and lavender. He grabbed a sprig of mustard and explained how missionaries in centuries past carried seeds in their worn packs that would sometimes trickle to the ground and create trails of the yellow-flowered plants between stops. Inside the winery, where a fat and friendly cat swished his bobbed tail on the bar, we sipped the white wines for which Brander is known. My easy favorite was the 2015 Mesa Verde Sauvignon Blanc, which tasted of apples and lemongrass.

From there Caco fitted us on our mountain bikes, handed out reusable water bottles, and pointed us in the right direction. We were off. The ride started relatively easy along rolling hills through dark-soil

farmland. Red-tailed hawks wheeled overhead as California king snakes warming on the asphalt scooted toward the weeds. After a quick pit stop of water and PowerBars, we crossed Highway 154 and climbed a few steeper grades toward the tiny town of Ballard and its 1880 Little Red School House, coasting the rest of the way to Lincourt Vineyards on Alamo Pintado Road.

It was a perfect distance and difficulty — enough to sweat and feel like we accomplished something but not too hard to put us out of the wine-tasting mood. The 2012 Lincourt Annie Dyer Pinot Noir was my top pick.

The day wrapped with a Trader Joe’s picnic lunch overlooking grapevines and live oaks. The group— whose members came from Fresno, Michigan, Missouri, and Santa Barbara—carefully talked politics, lamented the drought, and looked forward to napping in the van. We agreed biking through the valley was the way to go and that next time we’d hit a couple more wineries before the day was done.

Bucking the Odds

The Cuyama Buckhorn was experiencing a sort of rebirth as I rolled in with hurdling tumbleweeds. It wasn’t open for business while it endured an overhaul, but new owner Johnny Thomsen generously gave me one of the newly remodeled rooms. It ended up being a nice diversion after traversing two mountain ranges.

doors means keeping it great, and this collection of essays — subtitled Best Practices for Success in the Environmental Movement Movement, published by Patagonia, and edited by Nora Gallagher and Lisa Myers — provides a lot of intellectual and experiential fuel for how to do so. Based on a conference that the Ventura company has hosted for 20 years, this 288-pager features insights from such luminaries as Jane Goodall, Bill McKibben, and Wade Davis.

Last week, despite never having ridden a horse or tried to rope anything, Richard Gathen submitted his body to becoming a rodeo clown for the day at the Elks Unocal rodeo grounds in Santa Maria. “The level of detail that goes behind the scenes and the day—there’s so many moving parts, there’s so much prep work, there’s so much enthusiasm to pull an event off like this, and the fact that it goes to all the local youth charities— I’m just absolutely amazed from the start to what the result will be,” said Gathen, the New Jersey–based membership and public relations manager for the Elks national organization of the clown school experience. The afternoon event featured instruction from pro rodeo barrelman Justin Rumford as well as real-deal clown outfits from Wrangler, face painting for adults, and a graduation ceremony.

Mobile Vet Visits YouRR pet

nyone who has ever struggled to get a scaredy-cat into a kitty carrier for a trip to the vet knows that it can be a stressful endeavor for pet and owner alike. Enter Dr. Tiffany Margolin and From the Heart Mobile Vet, her on-wheels veterinary care center that meets pet patients where they are most comfortable and least stressed out: their own homes.

“A trip to the vet can be a terrifying experience for a pet and a heartwrenching one for a pet owner, but high-quality treatments for your furry or feathered friends don’t have to take such a huge emotional toll,” said Margolin. “My goal is to combine the best possible care with a truly low-stress veterinary experience.”

The mobile practice works like so: Margolin gets a call, she and her staff check the equipment, they drive to their client’s home, and then they treat the animal completely within the home or the mobile center. Margolin’s practice on wheels can handle medicine treatments, surgery, x-rays, acupuncture, and any other holistic care.

The need for a mobile veterinary practice, Margolin told The Santa Barbara Independent Independent,“is extraordinary.”“When you’re a vet in a standing practice, you don’t see so many cats,” Margolin said. “People cannot drive their cats places because cats freak out. They are so highly stressed and highly sensitive that this practice is critical for some of these animals that don’t or can’t get in cars.”

The other half of the need for a mobile veterinary practice is the people. Margolin said that there are people with disabilities or driving restrictions who cannot easily get animals to the vet, making her mobile practice invaluable.

The biggest challenge Margolin faces while working in a mobile center is when her patients need to be hospitalized for long periods of time. “It’s less of a challenge and more of a limit to where we can go,” Margolin said. The good doctor joked that unique parking situations in the hills of Santa Barbara can be more of a challenge for her mobile practice than anything else. “You have to have a certain constitution,” Margolin said. “You’re mobile; you’re moving around, so you need to have a unique personality that can adapt to different environments.”

Her favorite part about working in a mobile facility is “the variety of people and animals and being able to peek into the animal’s lifestyle,” Margolin said. “The warmth and connection with the people is much more personal, and healing occurs in the connection. Healing occurs when you have love around, so if they are in the home, the bond is there.”

From the Heart Mobile Vet is open Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m., and takes calls seven days a week. Call 350-1399 or visit fromtheheart vet.com.

Gaucho BaseBall Reaches supeR ReGionals

T

he mild-mannered UCSB Gauchos looked like Supermen in the final baseball game of the NCAA’s Nashville Regional. They pounded Xavier by a score of 14-5 and earned themselves a ticket to the Super Regionals for the first time. They will play a best-ofthree series hosted by the Louisville Cardinals this weekend, and the winner will join seven others at the College World Series in Omaha starting June 18.

The opener of the Louisville series will be televised by ESPN2 at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 11. The second game, at 9 a.m. on Sunday, will appear on ESPN2 or ESPNU. The third game, if necessary, will be played Monday, with time and carrier to be announced.

More typical of the Gauchos this year were the scores of their other two games in Nashville. They edged Washington, 3-2, on Austin Bush’s home run leading off the bottom of the 14th inning, and they held off Xavier, 5-4 — forcing the Musketeers to play an extra game before the championship rematch.

Nineteen times this season, the Gauchos have gone down to the wire in games decided by one run. Their record in those nail-biters: 16-3. That indicates a team of a certain gritty character, one that comes through with no-surrender pitching, unshakable defense, and clutch hitting.

They trailed Washington 2-1 heading into the bottom of the 12th inning Friday, when Devon Gradford socked his first home run of the season to tie it up. Two innings later, Bush’s game winner was the first of three round-trippers he hit in the regional, earning the big first baseman MVP honors.

Relief pitcher Justin Kelly saved the first win over Xavier when he struck out seven of the Musketeers’ last eight batters. Bush and Clay Fisher, known for his spectacular glove-work at shortstop, both launched threerun homers during the clinching victory Monday, as UCSB matched its highest-scoring output of the season.

The Gauchos did not have to deal with Vanderbilt, the favored host of the regional. The Commodores, stunned by the drowning death of freshman pitching prospect Donny Everett on the eve of the tournament, went 0-2 against Xavier and Washington.

Winning the regional was special enough for the Gauchos to dump a bucketful of Gatorade on their coach, Andrew Checketts. Odds are the ritual won’t be repeated this weekend. Louisville (52-12), the NCAA’s overall No. 2 seed, will be heavily favored over UCSB (40-18-1). The Cardinals are 33-1 on their home field, Jim Patterson Stadium. They went to Omaha in 2013 and 2014 but missed out last year and are aiming to return. Against a pitching staff that allows fewer than three runs a game, the Gauchos hope to keep the games close and conjure their one-run magic.

Louisville will be the site of a rather more illustrious event this week — the memorial for Muhammad Ali, whose hometown once shunned him but has long since embraced him.

THE GREATEST: On February 25, 1964, esteemed rocket scientist William Pickering, director of the Jet Propul-

nick Bajal @ The ouTposT pos posT paul wellman

Tenure: Acting as sous chef at the

Outpost since July 2015, Bajal was selected as the new lead chef in March 2016.

Résumé: A Chicago native, Bajal is

new to the West Coast scene, with stints at such notable Chicago restaurants Bohemian House and Atwood (where he worked under former Outpost chef Derek Simcik).

Dishes he digs: Beets and burrata, an

Asian-inspired take on a fresh summer dish, with miso-honey vinaigrette, saltroasted beets, white sesame seeds, nori, and burrata.

“I like to take a little bit from everything … a technique, a spice … world cuisines inspire me to create my own style,” said Bajal. “It’s about respecting tradition while making it new, fun, and exciting.”

Make sure to also check out their rotating Sundaynight ramen, where Chef Bajal gets creative—from hot pastrami ramen to the more traditional shoyu ramen with marinated egg. Dishes sell out quick, so arrive early.

The scoop: The Outpost blends Californian coastal

cuisine with Latin and Asian influences, so guests can look forward to dishes that explore the vibrant flavors and street foods of Korea, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, and Thailand. The new menu will feature Korean bibimbap, served in a hot stone bowl with rice, egg yolk, and

rotating flavors and proteins, such as pickled cucumbers, char siu pork belly, green onion, and black-garlicroasted carrots. Another global (and gluten-free) dish will be jibarito, a Puerto Rican dish with fried green plantains, pork carnitas, fried egg, lime aioli, and pickled jalapeño.

“Cooking for me is a way to express myself, express my feelings, and emotions,” said Bajal. “I love making people happy through food. I love seeing the gratitude.”

Whispering angel Brings Pink to BilT BilTmore

F

ew categories of wine are humming at the forefront of the American palate as strongly as the sprightly pink juice known simply as rosé. Long a byproduct of trying to make better red wine, today producers across the globe are growing grapes of all red varieties specifically for the cause, and the results are increasingly exciting, from bright, acid-powered versions that aren’t much darker than water to richer styles that bring ample fruit and spice to the glass.

Santa Barbarans have always enjoyed a heightened awareness of the joys of pink wine thanks to our nearby wine country. But if there’s one brand that can be held responsible for the rest of the country’s fascination

with rosé, it’s definitely Whispering Angel, made by Château d’Esclans.

That’s the winery founded 10 years ago by France’s Sacha Lichine after he left his family legacy in Bordeaux and purchased a pink-focused property in Provence, considered the ancestral home of rosé.

About 20 percent of ProvenÇal rosé purchased in America is Whispering Angel, and this year, production of the $22 bottle is expected to approach 400,000 cases, with more than 90 percent of that exported to the United States.

And that’s exactly what Lichine was betting on when he ditched opulent reds for racy pinks. “The name sets a theme that resonates with the Englishspeaking consumer market,” admitted the winery’s director of communications, Thomas Schreckinger.

“That said, it is agreeable enough to activate interest.

Once tasted, most everybody agrees that it is very difficult not to like.”

Confessions of a laTe-Blooming cook T

by Josef Woodard

here may or may not be a time in your life when, after having viewed the kitchen as a supply room to pass through and forage for quick-fix food and drink intakes, the cooking instinct bites you.

After a few, ahem, decades of relying on the kitchen-working kindness of others and making nothing more elaborate than rudimentary foodstuffs — heating up/zapping prepared good, making mutant eggs (my shambling halfbaked version, charitably dubbed “dad eggs” by my kids) — the cooking bug bit me fairly seriously about five years ago. Now, chunks of my spare time are spent perusing recipes within my grasp. I believe I have graduated from beginner to intermediate by now. Is there a test for this?

It started with appetizing photos luring me in Real Simple—an aptly named and very fine place to start —and I moved on to Epicurous.com, New York Times recipes (thank you, Melissa Clark, Sam Sifton, Mark Bittman, Nigella Lawson, and former Santa Barbaran Jeff Gordinier), assorted cookbooks (who knew there were so many out there?), and any and all sources where tasty dishes may be lurking.

What tastes good tastes better when you make it yourself and get the thumbs-up from others.

Never mind that following recipes is akin to paint-by-numbers kitchen action.

Admittedly, it can be a bit intimidating and sheepish-making to go culinary in a town so resplendent with foodies, those in the epicurean know, and restaurants operating at an altitude of sophistication that makes me envious and a bit dizzy. But that’s no excuse to stay outta the kitchen. Is the term “foodie on a budget” an oxymoron? Not entirely. Get thee to the kitchen, in a serious, time-consumptive, taste-seeking way.

What is it about cooking that can so obsess a late-blooming kitchen hanger-outer? In part, it’s a great escape from the tyranny of screens and life in the digital and virtual realms, where I, like many, am forced at work-point to spend obscene amounts of time. Simple acts of chopping and slicing, working with real, physical ingredients connected to nature (and the animal kingdom), dealing with running around to find said ingredients—sometimes to a few different stores, often winding up at Gelson’s or the international market by K-Mart for the more exotic items — and navigating a recipe’s equations of heat, time, and mixology all become part of the project and the gestalt of the process.

Enter Blue Apron. The advent of whileyou-wait meal kits—with savory dishes and each measured-out ingredient delivered to your doorstep, and Idiot’s Guide instructions to lead you through it all—has struck a chord with people seeking foodie-esque quality on a tight schedule. We gave it a try one recent week and achieved sufficient palate delight in the Meatball Ragout, Nepalese Chicken Tarkari, and BBQ-Spiced Salmon & Roasted Sweet Potato on that week’s menu (feels a bit like a pre-planned school-cafeteria-menu ethic coming back to haunt).

But is this going backward or forward in the cooking apprenticeship game? In a way, the ease of the Blue Apron enterprise reminds you that recipe making is still a by-the-numbers affair—and that’s still where I live and eat. For now.

Kitchen matters and the life-sustaining hobby show no signs of letting up any time soon. Just don’t ask me to make it up as I go along.

This tempranillo from the Utiel-Requena region near Valencia is made in a crianza style, which means it has had a minimum of one year in oak plus some bottle aging. That helps massage some of tempranillo’s typical tannins, making this friendly and approachable, especially at about $10 a bottle.

The unique nose has touches of camphor and white pepper, while the pleasing dry red fruit leads with blackberry and anise notes. While relatively light-bodied, it’s clearly meant to match and accent a spread of Spanish tapas, from patatas bravas to jamon Ibérico to stuffed piquillo peppers.

Sofi Tukker in The houSe On their song “Hey Lion,” Hawley-Weld takes direct aim at the proud egoism of many spiritual practitioners, or more generally, people or systems in power. Through her spiritual practice and music alike, she says, she has come to solidify a sense of self in a realm that attracts many false idols.

“Part of the process of me growing up in this generation and time and era is me discovering that I don’t need somebody in order to feel my power,” she said.

“I don’t need someone to pray to me or worship me or tell me I’m fill-in-theblank-here; I can embody those things.” She admits the song is as much a chant toward herself as it is to others.

In their songs of identity and spiritual self-def self-definition, Sofi Tukker feels like a very ‘now’ act, one that manages to capture the spirit of the times. As DOUBLE TROUBLE: Sophie Hawley-Weld and house music captured the Tucker Halpern unite disparate approaches to crecombined freedom, hope, ate house music with a samba and bossa nova flair. and despair of ousted communities in the ’80s, Sofi Tukker resists easy definition and gered by contact mikes.

— Richie DeMaria thing; it’s a body thing,” Halpern said, quoting Eddie Amador’s “House Music (RoboSofi Tukker, Kauf, and sonic Remix).” “With ‘Drinkee’ and some of T.O.L.D. play Velvet Jones our other songs that are housier and more (423 State St.) Thursday, June 9, at 8:30 p.m. repetitive, it really does lock you in, and it For more information, call 965-8676 has a lot to do with yoga chants, getting in a or visit velvet-jones.com. rhythm and just being.” words so much as the sound, the consonants and vowels together.

alta california Santa Barbara has a rich cultural history, not only since the area was incorporated by the United States but also long before when it was part of Alta California. Chumash, Mexicans, and folks coming out west from East Coast cities all contributed to the music popular during that era. On Saturday, June 18, 9:30 a.m.-noon, Santa Barbarans can learn about those early traditions when musician and music scholar Ramón Araiza presents Musical Cultures of Early Alta California at the Genealogical Society’s monthly meeting, which is open to the public. Araiza will talk about secular music from the courts of Mexico, popular folksongs, vernacular music from foreign countries, and sacred music from the Spanish Mission period (1769-1833), among other things. The event takes place at First Presbyterian Church (21 E. Constance Ave.).— Michelle Drown

hen the rising N.Y.-based dance duo Sofi Tukker of Sophie HawleyWeld and Tucker Halpern first met at Brown University, it was a union of dissimilarities. She was studying Portuguese poetry, bossa nova, and the slow flow of kundalini yoga; he was studying house music production. “I thought her songs were slow and boring,” laughed Halpern.

But something — a karmic chemistry —drew them together, and out of this melding arose a fusion of driven beats and samba inflections, feminine empowerment and delicious lyrical lockgrooves. With their Soft Animals EP soon to drop this summer and a tour with M83 on the way, the duo — who play Velvet Jones tonight, Thursday, June 9, at 8:30 p.m.

— arrive to town on the momentum of a pounding polyrhythmic sound that’s raising eyebrows and pulses with its fiery verve and meditative spirit-chant heartsease.

“What has been exciting about how we’ve been received is that we don’t really fit in anywhere. It’s this own weird unique thing that’s not really competing with anything else—it exists on its own, and I think that’s exciting, and we’re really happy with that,” Halpern said.

One of their more attention-grabbing songs is their first single, “Drinkee,” which immediately stands out as curious for its Portuguese verses, culled directly from the words of Brazilian poet Chacal. “It’s a completely different form of communication, because it isn’t about the meaning of the

Mavis staples livin’ on a HigHnote

Grammy Award–winning gospel legend Mavis Staples returns with her 15th studio album, a rhythm-and-blues masterpiece produced by M. Ward, featuring songs tailor-made for the majestic soul diva. Staples’s illustrious career has spanned more than 65 years — from her debut as a young girl in The Staple Singers in 1950 through her family’s deep friendship with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (as evinced on the classics “Long Walk to D.C.” and “When Will We Be Paid?”) to sublime solo albums, including two produced by the late, great Prince. Merrill Garbus’s funky “Action,” Ben Harper’s bluesy “Love and Trust,” Aaron Livingston’s irie “One Love,” and “MLK Song” stand out on an album as warm, joyful, and life-affirming as the wise woman herself. (Mavis Staples will open for Bob Dylan on Saturday, June 11, at the S.B. Bowl.) — Sean Mageean

“The Watery Cave” by Rich Brimer

California national Parks in Art

There are 59 National Parks in the United States, and their remarkable landscapes remind visitors of the arresting natural beauty of this country. Nine of those parks are in California; from the premiere acquisitions of Yosemite and Sequoia (both admitted in 1890) to more recent additions, such as Joshua Tree (1994) and Pinnacles (2013), the Golden State is lousy with striking flora worthy of safeguarding for the ages. To honor this bounty — and the National Parks Service’s 100th birthday — the Wildling Museum (1511-B Mission Dr., Solvang) is having an exhibit featuring renditions of the preserved areas by various artists.

With Wildling’s ongoing mission to be a studio “where art and nature meet,” the show, officially titled Celebrating the National Parks of California, is a perfect fit and offers the opportunity to have National Park representatives interact with the viewing public and help honor the centennial. “We are really excited about the show,” said Katie Pearson, assistant director of the Wildling Museum. “Having the National Parks reps at the opening is going to be fantastic, and we will have lots of Junior Ranger activities for the kids throughout the [show’s] run.”

Culled from 165 admission from around the country, the exhibition features 51 pieces, many created by area artists, including Susan Belloni, Peggy Brierton, Chris Chapman, Patricia Hedrick, Larry Iwerks, Teresa McNeil MacLean, Craig Rademacher, Libby Smith, Nicole Strasburg, Louis Tremblay, and Pamela Zwehl-Burke.

The opening reception is Friday, June 17, 5:30-7:30 p.m., at the Wildling Museum of Art & Nature and will feature an award ceremony for the top three works. The show runs through October 3. For more information, call 688-1082 or see wildlingmuseum.org.

The glass MenagerIe PCPA Presents Tennessee Williams’s Classic Play

Luis Escobar rEfLEctions PhotograPhy studio

by Maggie Yates

F

or those looking to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the American theatrical tradition, the works of Tennessee Williams are paramount.

Williams’s plays, including well-known dramas such as A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, are classics of the genre — as is The Glass Menagerie, a play of worn and weary Southern elegance lost to familial decay. The play vaulted Williams to prominence within American theatrical culture, and the show has retained dramatic potency through the decades. This June, PCPA presents Williams’s drama for the Solvang Festival Theater, giving area viewers the chance to see this decadent, intimate performance under the stars.

Once upon a time, Amanda Wingfield was a Southern belle of societal prominence. After being left by her husband, Amanda finds herself a down-and-out slave to memories of happier days. Living in an undesirable flat in St. Louis with her two adult children, Amanda scrapes by on her son Tom’s meager warehouse-worker salary. While Amanda dreams of the past, Tom dreams of a future away from the overbearing will of his mother and the obligation to care for his sister, Laura. Laura, who has a limp from a childhood case of polio and shows signs of social impairment, has little likelihood of finding a husband. Laura’s emotional escape is her vast collection of glass figurines — a delicate menagerie she protects and treasures.

Narrated from recollection, protagonist Tom admits that the events he presents may be tarnished by the impreciseness of memory. Yet this filter of remembrance adds a layer of personal investment to the play. Amanda is fixated on finding a husband for her daughter and convinces Tom to bring potential “gentleman callers” to the house to meet Laura. Tom

finally acquiesces to his mother’s demands and invites a coworker to have dinner with the family. The man in question, Jim O’Connor, is an acquaintance from high school with whom Laura was secretly smitten, and the meeting turns awkward. Secrets are revealed, and the family, at the cusp of hope for the future, sees the truth of their fading way of life.

PCPA’s production is directed by Roger DeLaurier and features Kitty Balay as Amanda Wingfield, Sierra Wells as Laura Wingfield, and Jordan Stidham as Jim O’Connor, the “gentleman caller.” Recent Indy Award winner Matt Koenig will portray Tom Wingfield.

Fallen angels

Lust and Marriage Raises Hell for Two Couples

by Charles Donelan

I

n the 1920s, when Broadway and the West End were at the height of their cultural influence and prestige, one of the main reasons people went to the theater was for something that many still crave but that today we are perhaps less conscious of pursuing. I’m talking about capital “S” Sophistication, that devil-may-care, insouciant approach to life that rests oh so lightly on the belief that no problem is so big or serious that it can’t be dealt with by a witty comeback and a stiff cocktail. The twin titans of sophistication were Cole Porter and Noël Coward, and when Ensemble Theatre Company opens Coward’s Fallen Angels this week at the New Vic, Santa Barbara audiences will get a chance to listen in on the conversations of a group of young marrieds circa 1925 who aren’t afraid — or at least don’t think they are afraid — to be sophisticated about lust and marriage.

Jane (Julie Granata) and Julia (Paige Lindsey White) are waiting for the same Frenchman, Maurice (J. Paul Boehmer), with whom they have both had affairs, although at different times. Complications ensue, some emanating from the fact that Jane and Julie are best friends since childhood and current neighbors, and others from the fact that both women are now married. Following the time-honored formula of the sophisticated stage, Coward takes this situation, adds plenty of alcohol, and sets off the comedic fireworks.

Talking with Granata and director Andrew Barnicle about Fallen Angels last week, I could feel the warmth

CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE: J. Paul Boehmer (center) plays Maurice, the man with whom both Jane (Julie Granata, pictured left) and Julia (Paige Lindsey White) have been involved in Noël Coward’s comedy.

of their enthusiasm for Coward’s endlessly relevant, effortlessly funny material. Facing the double standard by which the same behavior registers as a negative for a woman (as in she’s a slut) and positive for a man (he’s a stud), Jane and Julia find that sharing a sophisticated take on how the world goes doesn’t necessarily bring them closer together. “Coward is questioning the assumption that women don’t have the same conversations about sex that men do,” said Barnicle, adding that “then it was a scandal, but today it’s just funny as hell.”

Visibly moved, Horne proclaimed the recital one of the greatest she had ever heard, and praised the singers as among her favorites in a long and distinguished career as a mentor of young talent.

The giant purple curtain that hid the main house from view came up in stages. First there was an elegant dinner and remarks by Music Academy president and CEO Scott Reed, who called attention to the extraordinary generosity of Shirley and Seymour Lehrer, whose matching grant of $3 million enabled the completion of the work on the organization’s headquarters and named it for Marilyn Horne, and to the skill and determination of Sharon Bradford, who headed the team that produced the gala.

After that, Horne took a turn at the microphone, praising the Music Academy’s board and staff for the effort and thanking the entire community for the honor. She spoke movingly of the legacy of Lotte SOMEWHERE: More than 300 Music Academy supporters turned out for a dedication ceremony Lehmann, who preceded her as director of the vocal for the newly renovated Marilyn Horne Main House (top), named after the longtime vocal program program, and then joined Reed for the ceremonial director (center) who was honored by Metropolitan Opera singers and academy alums (bottom, smashing of a bottle of champagne to christen the from left) Ben Bliss, Simone Osborne, Quinn Kelsey, and Isabel Leonard. building.

Jeremy Denk

Jeremy Denk in recital —One of the world’s most influential and spellbinding pianists returns as Luria Foundation artist in residence for a program that promises to reveal the deep connections that link medieval music to classical and modern compositions. No one does this kind of thing better than Denk. Sat., June 18, 7:30pm, in the Music Academy’s Hahn Hall.

Afternoon of a Faun — Audience and musician favorite maestro Larry Rachleff will conduct the first Academy Festival Orchestra concert of the season, which features Debussy’s groundbreaking composition based on the poem of the same name by Stéphane Mallarmé, plus equally thrilling material from Brahms, Respighi, and Berlioz. Sat., June 25, 7:30pm, at the Granada Theatre.

Rhapsody in Blue —Following on the success of last year’s New York Philharmonic community concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl, there will be a pair of concerts at the Granada over the Fourth of July weekend for which nearly 2,500 tickets will be offered at just $10 per seat. The program features the Academy Festival Orchestra under the baton of Larry Rachleff with guest soloist Jean-Yves Thibaudet for Gershwin’s classic Rhapsody in Blue. Rounding out this patriotic offering are two other all-American pieces, Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World” and the Short Ride in a Fast Machine of contemporary American composer John Adams. Sat., July 2, 7:30pm, and Sun., July 3, 2:30pm, at the Granada Theatre.

Gilbert Conducts Beethoven — The Music Academy’s four-year partnership with the New York Philharmonic continues as conductor Alan Gilbert mounts the podium for this program featuring Beethoven’s legendary Symphony No. 33, “Eroica.”In a nod to the Music Academy’s rich history of supporting such composers as Arnold Schoenberg, Gilbert will complement the Beethoven symphony with a 20th-century work about which he is equally passionate, Alban Berg’s famous Three Pieces for Orchestra. Sat., July 16, 7:30pm, at the Granada Theatre.

The Bartered Bride —Bedřich Smetana’s comic story of a young woman’s plot to fool a marriage broker into pairing her with her true love is an early example of the merging of classical with Czech folk traditions. Rising star composer Matthew Aucoin will conduct, and dancers from State Street Ballet will perform alongside the students from the Music Academy’s highly regarded vocal program. Fri., July 29, 7:30pm, and Sun., July 31, 2:30pm, at the Granada Theatre. n

a&e | POSITIVELY STATE STREET

CHERRY ON TOP: Burger Records rock band Cherry Glazerr brings a spirit of youthful rebellion and post-heartache rejection to Velvet Jones.

A Spectrum of rock

by Richie DeMaria CHERRY TAKES ME TO THE PLACE ABOVE: “Am I walking through Urban

Outfitters right now?” asked one YouTube commenter in response to a full stream of Cherry Glazerr’s 2015 album, Haxel Princess. “Urban Outfitters is walking through you,” retorted another.

This interesting little paradox is a good summation of Cherry Glazerr’s music, which captures the within-you-and-without-you wasteland of teenage life, wherein superficial trends and styles are perplexingly both the substance and parasite of the soul. When the L.A.-based Burger Records garage-rock darlings play Velvet Jones (423 State St.) this Friday, June 10, at 8:30 p.m. with Sex Stains and Royal Suns, you can join them in rebelling against the defining outlines that suppress us, no matter if you’re a teen in skin or spirit or both.

With only one band member of legal drinking age, and two just having secured the right to vote, the band must especially feel society’s self-serving lust for teenage life, so fawned upon and yet so disrespected. From the critical rock vantage point, their handlers can continue to admire pure adolescence, that youthful spirit many a rocker vies to embalm in eternity over the course of three catchy minutes. Cherry Glazerr is the real deal, which is always easy prey.

Whatever their trajectory, here’s wishing luck and plenty of good times ahead for this promising bunch, who are making some of the very best indie garage rock of the moment. I just love it when a band delivers a lyric as universally felt as this: “Fuck you, fuck you. You didn’t like me as much as I liked you.”

MAJORLY LASER: Elsewhere on the indie-rock spectrum lies Laser Background, who plays at the Funzone (226 S. Milpas St.) on Friday, June 10, at 8 p.m. with The Lentils, Cave Babies, and Rad Rasputin + Company. Another

contender in the field of synth-sewn, vaguely Beach-Boys-by-way-ofAnimal-Collective-or-Deerhunter pixel-pop, Laser Background is good for lovers of all rock infused with Day-Glo-bright displays of emotion and sensitive stances.

IN RAINBOWS: For a different brand of multicolor, the Rainbow Girls are

back with a show at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) this Friday, June 10, at 8 p.m., joined by The Mondegreens and Handmade Moments. Ever since their formation, Santa Barbara’s favorite daughters of prismatic folk-rock psychedelia have made a name for themselves across the world as an organic bunch of true-to-their-roots rockers. With a new home up in the perennially artisanal and agricultural town of Petaluma, they are sure to be carrying some new shades of self to add to the spectrum we’ve come to know and love. Rainbow Girls: We are happy to welcome you back home.

Follow us on TM

DONAVON FRANKENREITER RIDES AGAIN: Speaking of returning trips, Donavon Frankenreiter and Tom Curren are back like a summer swell to provide

another surefire good time at SOhO on Wednesday, June 15, at 8 p.m. With some of the sweetest licks this side of Kauai, the Hawaiian master of mellow, contemplative surf rock is always a welcome sight in S.B.

SWEET AS THE SIERRA: Alternatively, if you’re more Goleta-leaning, check out Sweetwater String Band over at the Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave., Goleta) Wednesday, June 15, at 9 p.m. With music as authentically bluegrass as the Appalachians, but with a Californian touch, one imagines them wandering through the glaciated valleys of California’s highest peaks, strumming and bowing away.

OH, MY GOD, BECKY: And last but not least, the old days are back again with DJ Darla Bea’s Baby Got Back All ’80s and ’90s Party at Velvet Jones on

Saturday, June 11, at 8 p.m. Get ready to get footloose and do your best dirty dancing and space jamming. n

Roots Remake

French social critique at its finest." - The Atlantic

Forty Years After the Original, the Story of Kunta Kinte Returns to TV

I

n 1977, Roots brought to the small screen author Alex Haley’s epic roots-discovery mission — an account of his family tree going back to patriarch Kunta Kinte’s abduction from Gambia in the late 18th century through his forcibly estranged offspring’s fates to the qualified moment of “emancipation.” Two years later, the story moved forward in time, lineages, and in the successive waves of racial disparity and struggle, in 1979’s Roots: The Next Generations. Fast-forward to the 2010s, and the saga continues, impacted and refracted by the recent Ferguson, Missouri–born Black Lives Matter movement and the controversy over the paucity of black artists in this year’s Academy Awards.

Last week’s airing of the Roots remake retold Haley’s story in ways more vivid and enriched by new historical information and by standards of cinema/television, in a time when serialized TV has come of age as an art form with higher ambitions, greater respect, and talent of an order formerly resistant to the “smallness” of TV. From a contemporary flat-screen-era TV watcher’s perspective, the miniseries was successfully addictive for “real time” viewers (an estimated 4.2 million) last week, and should be amply seductive to after-the-fact binge watchers.

Make no mistake: This was a massive effort, not a casual case of Hollywood retooling of existing material.

The $50 million-budgeted project was spread out in two-hour segments over four consecutive nights, and on three networks — the History Channel, Lifetime, and A&E. In the new Roots, viewers get a grander feel for village life and slave-trade-tarnished politics in Africa and a depiction of life in the cruel clutches of Southern plantations that feels more empathetic and also more wrenching. The central characters, including Kunta Kinte (Malachi Kirby), his daughter Kizzy Waller (Anika Noni Rose), cockfight virtuoso Chicken George (Regé-Jean Page), Forest Whitaker as the wise and wizened fiddler, and Machiavellian slave master Tom Lea (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), lure us deep into the narrative folds of the piece — and keep us coming back for the next episode.

Also in keeping with the nature of New Television, four notable directors took charge of the project: two Australians, Phillip Noyce (Salt) and Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy), and two African-American directors, Thomas Carter (Coach Carter), who has worked

RE-ROOT: Malachi Kirby plays Kunta Kinte in this reboot of the 1977 TV miniseries.

extensively in television as well as film, and Mario Van Peebles (Baadasssss!), the son of pioneering indie African-American director Melvin Van Peebles, considered an auteur/architect of the ensuing “blaxploitation” cinema of the ’70s.

Strangely enough, the 2016 Roots aired when the world of film has broken with a long-standing, implied moratorium on the theme of slavery. Quentin Tarantino’s audacious slavery semi-satire Django Unchained was, naturally, comically ultra-violent and nodded to the influence of Van Peebles, the elder, though drawing mixed reviews and responses. More seriously, in a powerful and unflinching way, 12 Years a Slave, which, like Roots, is also based on a true story, brought the issue of freedom versus slavery compellingly to the fore. This was thanks, ironically, to the efforts, artistry, and passion of a British director, Steve McQueen.

To give narrator’s closure to the new Roots, Laurence Fishburne, formerly the unseen voiceover monologist of Haley’s voice, pulls aside the curtain and emerges from the wings, appearing on-screen with the characters from the teleplay, commenting, “I hope my story honors them and brings pride.”

From the outside viewer’s vantage, Haley’s story, boldly retold here, brings renewed awakening and spurs a desire to be wary of and try to transcend the seemingly hardwired racial prejudice in this land of immigrants, particularly at a moment when a certain presumptive and presumptuous presidential candidate seems to wonder whether many Americans’ lives matter much at all.

nOW SHOWing Alice Through the Looking Glass (113 mins., PG) You can’t argue that the visual production is impressive, negotiating between beautiful and fussy. And it’s only occasionally boring: The performances given

by Mia Wasikowska and Sacha Baron Cohen are almost poignant at times. But the fact remains that this is an attempt to give a backstory or explain what is essentially an absurdist text, and, therefore, doomed to failure. (DJP) Metro 4 (2D)

O The Lobster

(118 mins., R)

In a strange way, The Lobster bears distant kin resemblance to blockbuster franchises of The Hunger Games ilk, of dystopian sci-fi zones where couplings face do-or-die death games in dark, perilous woods. That’s where the comparison ends: This weirdly grim, bizarrely fun, grisly film from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos channels absurdists Kafka and Ionesco in a tale that finds paunchy, deadpan Colin Farrell braving a sadistic matchmaking/animal-transformation scheme, and true love prospects with Rachel Weisz. Sometimes wickedly funny, sometimes just plain wicked, The Lobster gives new meaning to such old adages as “ideal love is hard to find” and “love is blind.” And blinding. (JW) Paseo Nuevo

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 scriptwriters 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)

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

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

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

O Love & Friendship (92 mins., PG)

Writer/director Whit Stillman’s long obsession with the leisured elite just happens to fit snugly into Jane Austen’s principled ambivalence for the same class, different epoch. In Austen, the dishonorable pursuit of a man with an income is also a raw matter of survival — it’s funny and tragic. Here, in a brilliant hard-edged portrayal, Kate Beckinsale plays the widowed Lady Susan Vernon, a famous flirt who lives on the edge of respectability with a mighty streak of pragmatism driving her toward security. (Protecting her daughter is even a gambit.) Stillman knows exactly when to be comic and how to expose the dread that haunts a drawing room. Chloë Sevigny adds a shocking flesh-and-blood dimension as a cynical American friend who dreads retuning to Connecticut.

“You’ll be scalped,” warns devious and driven Lady Susan. (DJP) Riviera 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.

Plaza de Oro Money Monster (98 mins., R) Roguish TV host Lee Gates (George Clooney) and his long-suffering director, Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts), must grapple with a hot-button issue — Wall Street 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) Plaza de Oro

O The Nice Guys

(116 mins., R)

Writer/director Shane Black has done more for the tough-guy movie than anybody since John Ford. Simultaneously full of testosterone and self-depredation, 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 private-eye 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)

O Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (86 mins., R) It may be too soon to make sweeping proclamations, but Andy Samberg’s wild hoot of a mockumentary, about rap star Conner4Real’s rise, fall, and fizzle, may qualify for the lofty-lowly cultural ranks of This Is Spinal Tap as classic pop music satire goes. Samberg, with his creative crime partners Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone lurking behind the scenes, is a master of the YouTube-era short-form mock music video, as seen on SNL (“Dick in a Box,” “Lazy Sunday”). Set pieces anchor this film, too: “Equal Rights,” “Finest Girl (Bin Laden song),” and “Incredible Thoughts” (with a cameo from Michael Bolton!) cling to the memory and vie for comedy classicdom, after the particulars of the plot fade away.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (112 mins., PG-13)

Clearly modeled on the kids’ cartoon beloved by twenty- to thirty-somethings everywhere, this is the one where they bring the whole wacky cast of villains together for the first time.

Arch nemesis Shredder is joined by the mutants Bebop and Rocksteady and a prehensile alien brain named Krang. But the goofus show is stolen

by Tyler Perry playing super-nerd scientist Baxter Stockman, not yet turned into a human fly. This is Ovid’s Metamorphoses seen through a prism of kiddie exploitation, but it’s also pure junk nostalgia for millennials willing to baptize their offspring at the same mutagen fount. And it’s fine to have campy Megan Fox back on the big screen, too. (DJP)

X-Men: Apocalypse (144 mins., PG-13) It’s getting dicey for the Marvel folk.

Since Guardians of the Galaxy, they have clearly been trying too hard to transcend the superhero romp factors. This year’s Captain America: Civil War had brilliant moments wrapped in cinematic murky confusion, and X-Men: Apocalypse is sadly the opposite. Clear, but too big and long, the epic battle is ultimately forgettable.

Enjoy the 1980s references, the Wolverine cameo, and Evan Peters’s Quicksilver, but there isn’t much more to take home with you. (DJP)

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Mythologist Joseph Campbell analyzed fairy tales for clues about how the human psyche works. For example, he said that a fairy tale character who’s riding a horse is a representation of our relationship with our instinctual nature. If that character drops the reins and lets the horse gallop without guidance, he or she is symbolically surrendering control to the instincts. I bring this to your attention because I suspect you may soon be tempted to do just that — which wouldn’t be wise. In my opinion, you’ll be best served by going against the flow of what seems natural. Sublimation and transcendence will keep you much stronger than if you followed the line of least resistance.

Homework: Visualize yourself as you ride your horse, keeping a relaxed but firm grasp of the reins.

(June 21-July 22): The following excerpt from Wendell Berry’s poem “Woods” captures the essence of your current situation: “I part the out-thrusting branches and come in beneath the blessed and the blessing trees. Though I am silent there is singing around me.

Though I am dark there is vision around me. Though I am heavy there is flight around me.” Please remember this poem at least three times a day during the next two weeks. It’s important for you to know that no matter what murky or maudlin or mysterious mood you might be in, you are surrounded by vitality and generosity.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The road reaches every place, the short cut only one,” says aphorist James Richardson. In many cases, that’s not a problem. Who among us has unlimited time and energy? Why leave all the options open? Shortcuts can be valuable. It’s often smart to be ruthlessly efficient as we head toward our destination. But here’s a caveat: According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re now in a phase when taking shortcuts may be counterproductive. To be as well-seasoned as you will need to be to reach your goal, you should probably take the scenic route. The long way around may, in this instance, be the most efficient and effective.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Whether we like to admit it or not, all of us have acted like puppets. Bosses and teachers and loved ones can manipulate us even if they’re not in our presence. Our conditioned responses and programmed impulses may control our behavior in the present moment even though they were formed long ago. That’s the bad news. The good news is that now and then moments of lucidity blossom, revealing the puppet strings. We emerge from our unconsciousness and see that we’re under the spell of influential people to whom we have surrendered our power. This is one of those magic times for you, Capricorn.

SCORPIO

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A few weeks ago, you undertook a new course of study in the art of fun and games. You realized you hadn’t been playing hard enough and took measures to correct the problem. After refamiliarizing yourself with the mysteries of innocent joy, you raised the stakes. You began dabbling with more intensive forms of relief and release. Now you have the chance to go even further: to explore the mysteries of experimental delight. Exuberant escapades may become available to you. Amorous adventures could invite you to explore the frontiers of liberated love. Will you be brave and free enough to meet the challenge of such deeply meaningful gaiety? Meditate on this radical possibility: spiritually adept hedonism.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I will provide you with two lists of words. One of these lists, but not both, will characterize the nature of your predominant experiences in the coming weeks. It will be mostly up to you which emerges as the winner. Now read the two lists, pick the one you like better, and instruct your subconscious mind to lead you in that direction. List 1: gluttony, bloating, overkill, padding, exorbitance. List 2: mother lode, wellspring, bumper crop, gold mine, cornucopia.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his poem “Interrupted Meditation,” Robert Hass blurts out the following exclamation: “I give you, here, now, a magic key. What does it open? This key I give you, what exactly does it open?”

How would you answer this question, Gemini? What door or lock or heart or treasure box do you most need opened? Decide today. And please don’t name five things you need opened. Choose one, and one only. To do so will dissolve a mental block that has up until now kept you from finding the REAL magic key.

Homework: Psychologists say that a good way to eliminate a bad habit is to replace it with a good one. Do that! Testify at freewillastrology.com.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A half-dead blast from the past is throttling the free flow of your imagination. Your best possible future will be postponed until you agree to deal more intimately with this crumbled dream, which you have never fully grieved or surrendered.

So here’s my advice: Summon the bravest, smartest love you’re capable of, and lay your sad loss to rest with gentle ferocity. This may take a while, so be patient.

Be inspired by the fact that your new supply of brave, smart love will be a crucial resource for the rest of your long life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Five times every day, devout Muslims face their holiest city, Mecca, and say prayers to Allah. Even if you’re not Islamic, I recommend that you carry out your own unique version of this ritual. The next three weeks will be a favorable time to cultivate a closer relationship with the inspirational influence, the high ideal, or the divine being that reigns supreme in your life. Here’s how you could do it: Identify a place that excites your imagination and provokes a sense of wonder. Five times a day for the next 21 days, bow in the direction of this treasured spot. Unleash songs, vows, and celebratory expostulations that deepen your fierce and tender commitment to what you trust most and love best.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Truth is like the flu,” says poet James Richardson. “I fight it off, but it changes in other bodies and returns in a form to which I am not immune.” In the coming days, Scorpio, I suspect you will experience that riddle firsthand — and probably on more than one occasion. Obvious secrets and wild understandings that you have fought against finding out will mutate in just the right way to sneak past your defenses. Unwelcome insights you’ve been trying to ignore will finally wiggle their way into your psyche.

Don’t worry, though. These new arrivals will turn out to be good medicine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to Guinness World Records, the most consecutive hours spent riding on a roller coaster is 405 hours and 40 minutes. But I suspect that during the next 15 months, a Sagittarian daredevil may exceed this mark. I have come to this conclusion because I believe your tribe will be especially adept and relatively comfortable at handling steep rises and sudden dips at high speeds. And that won’t be the only rough talent you’ll have in abundance. I’m guessing you could also set new personal bests in the categories of most frequent changes of mind, most heroic leaps of faith, and fastest talking.

AQUARIUS

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Poet Sharon Dolin compares artists to sunflowers. They create “a tall flashy flower that then grows heavy with seeds whose small hard shells you must crack to get to the rich nut meat.” As I contemplate the current chapter of your unfolding story, I see you as being engaged in a similar process, even if you’re not literally an artist. To be exact, you’re at the point when you are producing a tall flashy flower. The seeds have not yet begun to form, but they will soon.

Later this year, the rich nut meat inside the small hard shells will be ready to pluck. For now, concentrate on generating your gorgeous, radiant flower.

“I am having so much fun with fixing shoulders and hips. My clients come in out of alignment and they leave balanced. What I bring to my massages are the gems that I have learned from all of my courses: Swedish, Trigger Point, Polarity, Deep Tissue, & Craniosacral. I really appreciate the training I got at BTI, especially the emphasis on flow and rhythm. I always end with a cranial hold and in doing so, I have acquired a host of regulars.” ~Kathleen Vasta, 550 Hour Graduate, former SB Health Teacher
