volume 30, number 544, June 16-23, 2016

As The Indy’s production team was putting together this week’s cover story on the winning formula of Santa Barbara’s own minor leaguers the Foresters, John Zant broke in, delighted with the news of UCSB baseball’s unexpected berth in the College World Series. Back in 2013, our sports editor’s enthusiasm for the game took him to look for Ebbets Field, home of the Dodgers, before the team moved to Los Angeles. He found it at the corner of McKeever and Sullivan in Brooklyn: “I’m standing over home plate,” he said of this photo, “a grease stain in the parking lot.” All the baseball starts on page 23.

Luhnow, 50, joined the San Diego force as an officer and rose through the ranks, heading the department’s traffic, patrol, investigations, and special operations divisions. Casey noted her involvement in a program created to respond to noise complaints at a nearby university, as well as time spent at tourist-friendly Ocean Beach. Luhnow also directed operations for the city’s Family Justice Center and oversaw its Domestic Violence Unit.

She received a bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of California at San Diego (where she played on three National Championship volleyball teams) and a master’s degree in organizational management from the University of Phoenix, and she graduated from the FBI National Academy.

by T y l e r H ay d e N ori Luhnow, a captain and 27-year veteran of the San Diego Police Department, has been named Santa Barbara’s new police chief, making her the city’s first female top cop. Luhnow beat 90 other candidates from across the country and comes with a résumé as resplendent as the comments that accompanied her selection.“She’s a winner,” said Missy McSweeney-Zeitsoff, a member of the city’s Fire & Police Commission. “San Diego’s loss is Santa Barbara’s gain,” said a spokesperson for the San Diego police officer’s union.

The final choice was made by Santa Barbara City Administrator Paul Casey, who solicited feedback from advisory panels made of public safety officials, San Luis Obispo’s city manager, Palo Alto’s police chief, a judge, and a professor, among others. The consensus was that Luhnow’s experience with recruiting and mentoring officers as head of San Diego’s Regional Police Academy would help with the SBPD’s chronic staff staffing shortages, her affection for community policing would fit well with Santa Barbara’s sensibilities, and her leadership skills would command respect from a department transitioning from a 15-year term under former Chief Cam Sanchez, who retired in February.

At 5:45 a.m. on 6/10, a male homicide suspect — implicated in the 6/9 shooting death of a 30-year-old man in Oakland — barricaded himself inside his van at a truck stop off Highway 101 and Betteravia Road.

Hostage negotiators tried for several hours to talk him into surrendering peacefully.

Around 9:15 a.m., the suspect shot himself in the head inside the van. He was airlifted to the hospital and has since been declared brain dead.

more than four months ago, spearheaded by HYA Executive Search.“It was really a thorough process,” said HYA’s Rudy Castruita. “The board really sought to engage the community, and they kept the search very confidential,” which helped them glean from sitting superintendents outside the region—such as Matsuoka—and candidates locally without revealing potential employment shifts.

Of 39 applicants, the board interviewed five and narrowed the field to four. Another round of interviews left two contenders, both of whom were subject to background checks. On June 6, boardmembers Kate Parker and Ed Heron visited Matsuoka’s district to meet with teachers, parents, and city and union leaders and to drop in on classes. “They came back with a very favorable report,” Castruita said.

Ilya Yegudkin, 25, was still in the hospital two days after he went on an ax-wielding rampage on the afternoon of 6/11 at Paradise Campground in Los Padres National Forest. Yegudkin, a Los Angeles resident on a camping trip, appeared under the influence when he reportedly threw an ax at one of his friends, attacked several campers — including an elderly man — vandalized a car, and cut up his tent. He faces four felonies and posted $50,000 bail on 6/12.

by K e i T H H a m m he five-member Board of Education of Santa Barbara Unified School District on June 14 unanimously selected Dr. Cary Matsuoka as the district’s new superintendent.

While Matsuoka comes to town from the Bay Area—where he’s served over the past 10 years as superintendent of the Los GatosSaratoga Joint Union High School and Milpitas Unified districts — he said his new job represents one of life’s full circles. Matsuoka, 59, and his wife, Polly—a graduate of Dos Pueblos High School — were married in Santa Barbara 37 years ago, and her father taught chemistry at UCSB for 30 years.

In his acceptance speech, Matsuoka offered his commitment to students, teachers, staff, and parents. “I will be a champion for the underdog … for immigrants, the Latino community, and for parents who have to work so hard just to make it,” he said.

The process to select a replacement for retiring Superintendent David Cash started

Jose Guadalupe Zepeda-Ramirez, 24, of Mexico, was found guilty last week of two drug-trafficking charges related to a panga boat discovered 3/27 at Alegria Beach near Hollister Ranch. He and Mexican resident Miguel Rodriguez-Doranme, 39, had just transported nearly two tons of marijuana from Ensenada, Mexico, when a ranch security guard detained them. In court, both men pleaded guilty. Zepeda-Ramirez faces 10 years to life in federal prison; RodriguezDoranme, also convicted, faces up to 20 years in prison.

Cary Matsuoka Heron praised Matsuoka’s demeanor, experience, and his ability to mentor teachers and administrators alike. Matsuoka starts July 1 and will receive an annual base salary n of $260,164.

Two months ago, Sheriff Bill Brown suggested shutting down the Santa Maria branch jail to cut costs, but that possibility appeared off the table after county budget hearings on 6/13. The county executive office recommended the supervisors set aside nearly $1 million to keep the facility open during the next fiscal year. That would fund six full-time Sheriff’s deputies. Because of staffing shortages and medical issues, the Santa Maria jail was shut down for a total of 37 hours in the past year, requiring deputies to shuttle arrestees to the South County jail. In other news, after more than a year, the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association reached a tentative labor deal with the county, which includes a pay raise of 2 percent this year, 2 percent next year, and 3 percent the following year. It will go before the county supervisors on 6/21.

SOLEMNITY: Imam Yama Niazi speaks Sunday in De la Guerra Plaza.

standing with orlando s

In the wake of yet another mass shooting, more than 100 Santa Barbarans gathered Sunday in a show of solidarity for the victims of the Pulse nightclub murders. Mayor Helene Schneider spoke to the crowd, as well as Executive Director of Pacific Pride Colette Schabram; Imam Yama Niazi, religious director at the Islamic Society of Santa Barbara; and Christina Pizarro with the Coalition Against Gun Violence. “We are resisting a reaction of fear, instead coming together as a community to loudly proclaim that we will not let hate win,” said Schabram. “We are here tonight because prejudice and discrimination are not past-tense realities for the LGBTQ community.”

On Monday, Independent Assistant Editor Richie DeMaria wrote this commentary in reaction to the Orlando tragedy: I am an individual blessed with a spirit that is both masculine and feminine, and I am attracted to men and women both. I’ve always been this way. I’m wearing pink tights and a skirt to work today and am proud to exist the way I am.

People like me have been murdered, exiled, prohibited, judged, and hated for thousands of years by our fellow human beings, with whom we are equal. There are countries in the world today where we are still considered illegal. This is nothing new.

It has always been this way, in one shape or other, to us and to other people who have been needlessly enslaved, belittled, and invalidated for the supposed crime of being themselves, for bearing qualities over which they had no control.

To whoever belongs to a community that has been the historical recipient of others’ anger or misperception, who has been hated or harmed for the beautiful qualities they are born with or the beliefs they hold — do not be afraid. You are never alone. There are millions of us, and millions more who support us. We are here to lift each other up. Because we exist. We are a beautiful part of nature’s garden, more divine than any frightened idiot’s limited conception of a god, and more powerful.

The LGBTQ+ community has always been a living example and necessary proof that love can survive and endure under any prejudice, duress, oppression, or legal system.

So be the light, be the rainbow, be the smiling spectrum for the world to see. In times of darkness, we should not be merely sad; we should feel grateful and blessed that we who are living can be beacons, to say to all oppressors that no matter how many times you kill us, no matter how many times you claim us illegal or nonexistent, we are a part of the universe and a beautiful aspect of the world. We exist, you fuckers, always have, and always will.

But at a 6/12 discussion at the Lobero Theatre, organized by Pacific Standard magazine, the panelists said desalination was not the best way to address water shortages.

STARTING OVER: Michelle Gibbs at her sentencing hearing

abduct to Protect? a

Michelle Gibbs, Who Fled with Her Daughters to Mexico, Is Sentenced to Probation

L

by T y l e r H ay d e n ast spring, Michelle Gibbs and her two young daughters disappeared.

They vanished after a court hearing in which Gibbs’s ex-husband was granted visitation rights in the midst of a bitter custody dispute. All efforts to find the Orcutt mother and her children failed, so Santa Barbara County law enforcement issued a media advisory seeking the public’s help, including school photos of the girls and a DMV picture of Gibbs. Detectives said Gibbs—a county planner and biologist from 2004-2011 — did not have a history of violence, but they had reason to fear for the safety of the girls ages 6 and 4.

Six months later, Gibbs surrendered herself and her daughters to the U.S. consulate on the southern tip of Baja California Sur. Back in Santa Barbara, prosecutors charged her with felony child abduction. But authorities declined to release details on their investigation, and Gibbs’s motivations remained a mystery.

Gibbs, 44, was sentenced this week to three months probation and 120 days of either electronic monitoring or participation in the Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program.

If she successfully completes her probation, the felony charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor. Though many elements of the case remain irresolute, newly released court documents begin to shed light on why Gibbs, in her own words,“absolutely panicked” the day she pulled the girls out of school and fled to Mexico.

According to a pre-plea bargaining report filed in April by the county’s Probation Department, Gibbs’s daughters confided in her on Christmas Eve 2014 that their father had been sexually abusing and threatening them. They repeated the accusations a number of times over the coming months, sometimes in front of Gibbs’s parents, and began

acting out in disturbing ways. The older child once tried to run in front of a moving car.

Gibbs reported their allegations to the Sheriff’s Office and Child Welfare Services (CWS). They started an investigation, and Gibbs filed for a temporary restraining order against her ex-husband, whom she had divorced a year and a half earlier. During their marriage, she worked while he was a stay-athome dad. In her written statements to the court, Gibbs stated she previously viewed him as a “good person” and an “excellent father,” except when he lost his temper.

Sheriff’s detectives conducted two forensic interviews with the daughters, but the girls did not repeat their accusations. Shortly after that, however, in a session with a CALM (Child Abuse Listening Mediation) counselor, they did, drawing detailed pictures depicting where and how. At a court hearing on February 19, 2015, Gibbs’s attorney subpoenaed the CALM counselor to testify, but she declined, invoking her “privilege of confidentiality,” according to court records.

In a written declaration, Gibbs’s father, who had allegedly heard some of the girls’ incriminating statements, expressed frustration that investigators had not interviewed him for his corroborating testimony.

Gibbs’s ex-husband, who has continually denied his daughters’ allegations, has not been charged with any crimes. The investigation — which included a polygraph test he initially refused to take but later passed, as well as multiple interviews with coworkers, family, and friends—has been closed. His attorney, Daniel Murphy, said in an email, “This matter has been dealt with in the courts. Judge [Timothy] Staffel found no evidence to corroborate or substantiate Ms. Gibbs’s allegations against Mr. Gibbs.”

When Michelle Gibbs learned that the restraining order would likely be lifted, she

A crowd of 500 filled the Rancho La Patera & Stow House grounds on June 12 for food, drink, and the chance to bid on hundreds of auction items — from bottles of fine wine to a Van Morrison concert in Ireland — at a fundraiser hosted by Santa Barbara’s Environmental Defense Center (EDC), a nonprofit legal firm founded in 1977. The afternoon ended with EDC’s presentation of its 2016 Environmental Hero award to Charles Lester, who on February 10 was fired from his position as executive director of the California Coastal Commission after a contentious 12-hour public hearing. During Charles Lester that hearing, Lester was praised as an even-keeled and highly effective defender of the coast and consummate soldier for California’s landmark Coastal Act, one of the nation’s toothiest conservation laws.

“Today there are fewer and fewer people who can look beyond self-interest and act in the public good,” Lester said during his acceptance speech, before rattling off “huge challenges” faced by the Coastal Commission in the coming decades, including climate change, sea-level rise, drought, desalination, plastic pollution, and maintaining public access to the Golden State’s 1,100 miles of coastline.

Since March 1, Lester has been directing the Coastal Commission’s Climate Change Program, a position he was eligible for under California’s civil service “right of return” laws, according to a Coastal Commission spokesperson.

Lester was also the focus of a public statement made by Commissioner Wendy Mitchell at the June 9 hearing in Santa Barbara. After praising Lester’s win of the Save Our Shores Ocean Hero of the Year award last week, Mitchell lamented his comments in the accompanying Santa Cruz Sentinel article, in which he said the only details he knows of his February dismissal are those he reads about in the papers. Mitchell called that notion “completely inaccurate” and that “he knows differently,” explaining that commissioners had reviewed Lester’s performance with him five times over the past three years.

While some commissioners on February 10 cited concerns with Lester’s leadership and communication skills, and a lack of staff diversity, the public’s pervasive narrative maintained that private meetings between commissioners and lobbyists for coastal development had created an ex parte cottage industry that wanted Lester gone. Commissioners are now facing SB 1190, a bill advancing through the State Legislature that would ban such private meetings. On May 12 the commission voted 6-5 in support of the legislation.

Lester’s personnel file and other related documents are the focus of a Public Records Act lawsuit filed by the Los Angeles–based nonprofit Grassroots Coalition on February 23. The complaint, which names Lester and 18 sitting and alternate commissioners as defendants, argues that because Lester opted to hold his dismissal hearing at a public forum, the agency ought to release communications — Keith Hamm related to his performance and firing.

POLITICS In the wake of the Orlando shooting, the two remaining 24th congressional candidates expressed conflicting viewpoints on gun control measures proposed in the Senate this week. Democrat Salud Carbajal — who secured 62,033 votes in last week’s election — said he is in favor of prohibiting anyone on the so-called terrorism watch list from buying firearms. Republican Justin Fareed — who won 40,161 votes — said in a statement that while he “wholeheartedly supports measures to keep firearms out of the hands of terrorists,” he contended “it’s widely known that the terrorist watch list is a flawed system that has misidentified innocent Americans in the past and badly needs to be updated to address today’s threats.” As of 6/14, Republican Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian won 35,691 votes; Democrat Helene Schneider had 28,193 votes. n

Peace Breaks Out over Crosstown Bikeway

o one was humming “Kumbaya,” but at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, the proverbial Fat Lady was definitely singing.

After four months of legal threats, posturing, cajoling, eyeball rolling, hand-wringing, teeth-sucking, and some serious hard-bargaining, consensus was finally achieved over where to create a crosstown bikeway that will provide what’s been billed as “the spine” for the city’s brand-new Bicycle Master Plan.

With only one dissenting vote, the council agreed to create a new bicycle boulevard along Sola Street, from Castillo to Laguna streets. In late February, the council had voted to endorse the creation of an eastwest bike lane along Micheltorena Street from Castillo to State instead.

That plan was backed by the Bicy- Intersection of Sola and Castillo streets cle Coalition but generated serious backlash among Micheltorena Street tenants and business owners upset alike.

Push to Preserve Carp bluffs pau l wellm an

With a $3 million down payment on the table, a collaboration between the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County and the Citizens for Carpinteria Bluffs is now drumming up community support for the purchase and preservation of oceanfront acreage in Carpinteria. The privately owned property — known in conIN ESCROW: Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs servation circles as Carp Bluffs III President Arturo Tello (center) with Carpinteria or, further back, as the Thunder Mayor Gregg Carty Bowl racecar and motorcycle dirt track, circa 1950 — covers 21 acres east of the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and is popular with hikers, bikers, birders, and paragliders.

To achieve their campaign goal of $7.9 million — $6 million for the property and another $1.9 million to cover closing costs, initial restoration, and endowed stewardship eventually handled by the City of Carpinteria — the nonprofit groups are aiming to raise at least $1.5 million from the community, according to Chet Work, the Land Trust’s executive director. At the same time, he added, public grants could bring in $1 million, though winning those monies can be a highly competitive endeavor. Since entering the purchase agreement in March, the Land Trust has already received $2.4 million in pledges, Work said. “We like to not lean on the community, but it’s not going to be easy to find the rest of what we need,” he added.

“But we’re excited by how much support we’ve experienced so far.”

The property, owned by Burton Hancock Trust, is zoned for a destination resort and has been in escrow for such development several times over the years. Those efforts have failed in the face of substantial opposition from the community and conditions set by the California Coastal Commission. “When we saw a narrow point of entry [to make an offer], we jumped on it,” Work said. “This is the only property in the city zoned hotel resort,” said listing agent Kerry Mormann, a former member of the Land Trust’s board of directors. “But because of constraints, the projects just weren’t penciling out for developers.” Mormann added that the property was listed at $6.9 million when its owner accepted the Land Trust’s offer of $6 million.

The goal, said Work, is to preserve the property much like Carpinteria Bluff Nature Preserve, with habitat restoration, interpretive trails, and designated parking and public access. Carpinteria Parks and Recreation Director Matt Roberts said the property would provide a critical trail link connecting the eastern edge of city limits, near Rincon, all the way through town to the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve.

Gibbs cont’d from p. 9 said she was terrified. “I felt [my daughters] had slipped through the legal cracks and that no one was going to be able to protect them,” Gibbs wrote in a statement in the probation report. “I made a decision to protect them and that I would not let them be put in harm’s way.”

On February 26, after the restraining order was lifted for lack of evidence, Gibbs spirited her children south, eventually telling them their father had died. Driving 1,300 miles to Cabo San Lucas, Gibbs rented an apartment, enrolled her daughters in a bilingual school, and made a modest living as a freelance travel writer. She planned to remain until the girls turned 18.

But as the months ticked by, Gibbs’s “guttural fear” gave way to logic. She decided to return, realizing that if she didn’t, she and her daughters would be living illegally in Mexico for the rest of their lives. “It was the hardest decision I ever made in my life,” she wrote to the court, expressing remorse for her actions. She said she would abide by the decision to close the case against her former husband. “I know that I am not above the law,” she wrote.“I was just consumed by fear and confused by the law.”

Upon their return to Santa Barbara, the daughters were placed in their father’s sole custody. They have made no further accusations against him and appear to be doing well. Both are attending regular therapy ses-

sions. Gibbs also told the court she is seeing a counselor herself and finding constructive ways of moving forward with her life.

Though she said she trusts the “fair and cautious” investigators who remain abreast of the case, “I am watching the girls closely,” she said.

Ahead of Gibbs’s sentencing, her ex-husband asked the court for a much stiffer penalty than what was ultimately handed down.

He said she deserved at least six months in prison, “the amount of time she fled to Mexico with the girls when no one knew where they were.” He claimed her actions destroyed his and his kids’ lives. “I want the DA to enforce the law and to prosecute to the fullest extent, because if the shoe was on the other foot, I would be going to prison no matter how much you try to convince me you treat everyone equally.” Probation officials argued Gibbs’s case didn’t merit prison, considering her clean record, positive psychological reviews, and the circumstances of her crime. In July, Gibbs will apply for unsupervised visitation with her daughters, hoping to eventually regain shared custody.

“Ms. Gibbs has done an incredible job dealing with an impossible situation,” said her attorney, Danielle De Smeth, this week.

“She left everything behind to do what she believed necessary to protect her daughters.”

She is now working hard to “make the best n of a tragic situation.”

S.B. SPEAKS: Bernie Sanders received more votes than Hillary Clinton in Santa Barbara County.

bern vs. Hill

Democratic Party Leaders Talk Union of Supporters

T

by K e l S e y b r u G G e r

hree days after the June 7 primary election, Santa Barbara County’s election office reported Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders edged past Hillary Clinton by 108 votes. As vote-by-mail ballots were counted, Sanders’s lead grew Tuesday to 1,349 votes, with 7,000 provisional ballots left to count. As of press time, Sanders had won 23 counties in California.

“They are being counted as we speak,” said Sanders campaign field organizer Kyle Butts. “You can’t stay up all night to count five million votes. You need a couple days.”

Sanders supporter Daraka LarimoreHall, chair of the county’s Democratic Party, was among those to introduce the Vermont senator to more than 6,000 jubilant supporters rallied on the lawn at Santa Barbara City College on May 28. Though many Dem party leaders and most area elected officials supported Clinton—and joined her event at Jill’s Place on June 4 —Larimore-Hall said Central Committee members slightly favored Sanders. “We’re adults,” he said. “We can disagree.”

Such disagreement magnified to a significant degree this election season, particularly in the blogosphere. “Social media is so much more developed,” Larimore-Hall said when asked how this primary season compared to 2008’s. “We got everybody’s opinion 24 hours a day. So it felt more contentious.” Eight years ago, though, it didn’t take long to pull Clinton and Barack Obama supporters together, he said, which he also expects to happen this year.

“It’s going to take some time,” said Jonathan Abboud, an SBCC Trustee and Isla Vista activist. “It’s only been a week.”

Abboud expressed gratitude that Sanders has stayed in the race as his candidacy drove liberal turnout.

In particular, the Isla Vista/UCSB area —where turnout was previously predicted to be lackluster as Election Day fell during finals week—had a fairly good showing.

In fact, 5,151 people voted, which translates to a roughly 60 percent turnout rate. In the county, the turnout rate was 48.4 percent.

The Sanders-to-Clinton ratio among I.V. voters was 8 to 1. Asked about the impact of the Associated Press declaring Clinton the presumptive nominee the night before the election, Abboud speculated it “actually got more people to vote.”

Many are new to politics or to campaigning. “Some of them are quite bitter,” he said. “I see my job and the job of the party to reach out to them and provide a platform and space to continue working for progressive change. I think we can do that.”

But Kay Bowman, a Sanders supporter who worked to register people to vote, disagreed. At an election-night party of 70 Sanders supporters, she said, just one person indicated she would vote for Clinton in the fall for fear of Donald Trump. “People didn’t support her in 2008,” she said. “Why would they support her now?” A recent USC Dornsife/Los Angeles poll showed 25 percent of Sanders supporters—particularly men who were not registered Dems — said nothing could persuade them to vote for Clinton. Sixty percent said they would vote Clinton, with many saying they could be swayed.

UCSB sociology professor Dick Flacks stressed the need for America to overwhelmingly beat Trump and the Republican Party. “I’m an old guy,” he said. “Hillary is no worse than any other Democratic candidate.” He gave Japanese internment camps under Franklin D. Roosevelt and the arms race under John F. Kennedy as examples.

Ultimately, Larimore-Hall added, “People who want Bernie Sanders policies to be enacted have to see Clinton voters as allies. Clinton supporters need to take a real hard look at those 8-to-1 [Sanders ballots] among young voters and see that to win the future we have to be a lot bolder.”

A number of people contacted The Santa Barbara Independent with complaints about the vote process, including changes in polling places or incorrect party registration on their ballots. Joe Holland, the county election chief, said he was not aware of any legitimate complaints regarding ballot party preference. “There are always some voters who don’t recall the party they registered with,” he said in an email. Though California is an open primary, voters must be registered as a Democrat or Republican to vote for that party’s candidate for president.

Though there have been accusations online of Sanders ballots being lost or misplaced, Sanders campaign staffer Butts expressed no indication that problems occurred here, calling the Santa Barbara elections office “incredibly active.” n

The Lone Woof

SEPaRaTED aT BIRTH: God, we are told,

works in mysterious ways. Coincidentally, so, too, does California’s infamously sleazy Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom. For the record, I’m not conflating the two. Newsom may see God when he looks in the mirror, but there’s no indication yet that God ever carried on a sexual affair with the wife of his campaign manager and best friend as Newsom did.

But then, no homicidal maniacs have yet to cite fealty to California’s oleaginously opportunistic lieutenant governor to justify their blood-thirsty eruptions. By this metric, the advantage clearly belongs to Newsom.

In the wake of Orlando’s mass shooting, the experts are still debating whether the massacre was a hate crime or act of terror. The evidence, while not conclusive, suggests the killer could have been a violently self-loathing gay man. He’d been frequenting the nightclub he would ultimately shoot up two to three times a week for about three months. There were the frequent visits to gay chat rooms and his use of the gay app Grindr.

Certainly, history is bursting with angry, destructive repressed gay men, most famously former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover — now famous for his predilection for red dresses — and Roy Cohn, Red-Baiting Senator Joe McCarthy’s right-hand political hit man. Both Hoover and Cohn relentlessly persecuted gays in the federal government long before — and well after — they went after commies. It’s theo-

retically possible the Orlando killer may have also held some sincere terrorist beliefs, but if so they were sincerely confused. For example, the killer told coworkers he was simultaneously affiliated with Hezbollah and Al Qaeda — two groups now engaged in an intractable and irreconcilable war with each other.

I’m dragging Newsom into this mess because he, improbable historical change agent that he is, may wind up getting serious gun-control legislation passed in spite of the NRA’s political omnipotence on Capitol Hill.

Clearly, Orlando by itself is not enough. If 20 dead elementary schoolkids in Connecticut three years ago wasn’t persuasive enough to get universal background checks passed, why should anyone think 49 bullet-riddled gay corpses will? The remarkable audacity and opportunism of Newsom’s political ambition, however, might just make the difference.

Newsom is already running for governor in 2018, and to that end, he’s collected the signatures to qualify a confrontational, in-your-face gun-control initiative for this November’s statewide ballot. If passed it would require background checks for people buying ammo, not just guns. It would also ban outright any gun with magazines that can carry more than 10 rounds of ammo. All such weapons would have to be turned over to authorities. This has Sacramento Dems defecating cinder blocks. They worry Newsom’s initiative will bring gun-toter voters to

the polls in record numbers. In hopes of persuading Newsom not to turn in his signatures, Sacramento Dems have introduced a record number of gun-control bills at the state house.

In the past, Newsom has been a reckless, heedless, self-aggrandizing force of history.

But he undeniably accelerated the pace of change where gay marriage is concerned.

In February 2004, Newsom — then mayor of San Francisco — ordered the city clerk to perform same-sex marriages. It took the California Supreme Court one month to shut him down. In that time, 4,000 gay couples tied the knot. That was 4,000 genies that could never be put back in their bottles. That reality changed the world.

In the meantime, however, Newsom’s critics — many within the gay community — were proved absolutely correct. By moving too soon, too fast, Newsom generated a massive homophobic backlash that helped get George W. Bush reelected president in 2004. There were ballot initiatives in 13 states that defined marriage as something exclusive to a man and a woman. Of those, 11 won, generating massive turnout among social conservative voters. In the aftermath, Newsom was a fourletter word among many Dem Party strategists. Only in 2015, when the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the right of gay couples to wed, would that monkey be taken off his back.

Maybe Newsom is being heedless and reckless again. But with blood from Orlando and San Bernardino still wet on the pavement, my hunch is he prevails. The vast majority of California voters understand there’s no justification — constitutional or

otherwise — for owning any firearm capable of spraying 13 rounds of ammo a second.

In 1934, the federal government outlawed machine guns, and somehow the Republic did not crumble. In 1996, Australia’s conservative Prime Minister John Howard got a serious gun-control package approved after a 28-year-old psycho killer with the intelligence of an 11-year-old went on a shooting spree, killing 35 and wounding 23 in just a few seconds. Automatic and semiautomatic weapons were banned outright and a mandatory gun-buy-back program enacted. Nearly 700,000 weapons were thus taken out of circulation. In the years following implementation, Australian firearm deaths declined 7.5 percent annually. Between 1995 and 2006, they dropped 59 percent. Opposition was sufficient that Howard felt the need to wear bulletproof vests when speaking in public.

But amazingly, he and parliament managed to get something passed within 12 days. Today, there’s no controversy.

In 1994, then-president Bill Clinton managed to get an automatic-weapons ban passed, though riddled with loopholes. In retaliation, the NRA targeted 24 lawmakers who voted for it. In the November 1994 election, 19 of those 24 lost. (That ban expired in 2004. Since then the number of mass killings has doubled.) As a result, no one in D.C. messes with the NRA. But when the winsome Newsom prevails in California this fall, I predict that’s going to change. Normally, if I had to choose between God and Gavin Newsom, I’d side with the Supreme Being. But this year, I’m rooting for the sleazeball. — Nick Welsh

Sue Leota Harris 08/14/33-06/05/16

On Sunday, June 5, 2016, Sue Leota Harris passed away at her home in Santa Barbara, CA, family by her side. She was 82 years old.

Warm, loving, creative, funny and fearless are good words to describe Sue. Her open spirit allowed her to explore both the interior world, through her artworks and writing, and the exterior world, through her travels and relationships. She embraced all of life with an open heart and mind.

A tall, statuesque redhead, Sue came into this life on August 14, 1933, living in Nebraska before her family moved to California when she was small.

Sue was an artist and an explorer all her life. Her home was filled with treasures found from “junking” — searching thrift shops and swap meets for that one spectacular find. Stories abound about her discoveries — the “fake” gold cigarette case that was actually 18 karat gold, the “imitation” diamond, ruby, and emerald necklace that turned out to be real — nothing escaped her collector’s eye. If there were a hidden treasure among the trash, Sue would find it.

Her home was also filled with the paintings, assemblages, and especially the collages that she created. Some were whimsical, others evocative, all were beautiful in that unique and quirky way that was Sue. Her exhibitions at the Faulkner Gallery, Westmont College, and others showcased her prodigious talent. And her skills allowed her to transform the practical world too — a beautiful faux-finished dresser, collaged cabinet doors and storage boxes, even a brightly collaged cane, which she used for walking. Sue was about adding beauty to life.

Her free spirit led her to explore the outside world too, through visits to Cape Cod to experience “Cape light,” road trips to New Mexico and Sedona, Arizona, even driving down to Oaxaca, Mexico, for an extended stay, after which she drove back to California solo at 54 years old. Sue did not recognize obstacles, only outcomes.

She lived for many years with Parkinson’s disease and was recently diagnosed with dementia and the renal cancer which ultimately claimed her, yet she accepted these changes with serenity and grace. It was “part of life”; she held no grudges.

Her love was family. Sue was Mom to Scott (wife Shanell), Kriss (wife Yvette), and Carl (wife Barbara). She was Gramma to Zach (wife Jennifer), Seth (wife Heather), and Alexiss (husband Jeremy), “GG” to Tommy, Jaxon, Frankie, Donovan, Claire, Jett, and Juliette, sister to her beloved brother 16

THE INDEPENDENT

Paul, who preceded her in this life, sister to Jack and Dave, companion to her sweet pooch Portia. She was a loving friend to Janet, Nancy, Michelle, Nan, Jane, Tim and others too numerous to mention.

If you have created something beautiful, made someone laugh, cooked a delicious meal, forged into the unknown, or kissed a loved one, you’ve known a little part of Sue. Her open spirit inspired all who knew her, and now she is free – a yellow bird, flying high in the sky.

We will miss you, Sue! We love you, and we always will.

The family would like to thank Assisted Hospice and all her wonderful caregivers.

Cancer Center of Santa Barbara and Dr. Woliver and his oncology nurses, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, and Dr. Sager and the MICU nurses and doctors who took such great care of him, especially in his final days. We appreciate all of the hard work and care you took in caring for Manuel.

The Rosary will take place on Friday, June 17, at 7 p.m. at Holy Cross Church on Cliff Drive. Services will be Saturday, June 18, at 10 a.m. at Holy Cross, with a reception to follow for family and friends.

Manuel Mata Barajas 06/17/37-05/11/16

George Taborsky 02/12/28-06/03/16

Manuel Mata Barajas, a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on May 11, 2016. He was surrounded by his family, who loved him dearly. Manuel was born on June 17, 1937, in Aguascalientes, Mexico, to Agnes (Anita) Mata and Geronimo Barajas. He was the oldest of their 4 children: Jose, Raquel L., and Esperanza. His mother later remarried to Antonio Guevara and had 3 more children: Theresa, Ana, and George. His father also had 6 other children: Juan Manuel, Isias, Raquel B., Cuca, Sanjuana, and Geronimo. He was married to Socorro Vasquez, the love of his life, on April 11, 1958, and they had 4 children together: Manuel Jr., Ralph, David, and Gina.

Manuel was known for being the owner of the Rose Café on the Mesa for the past 36 years. He took great pride in his restaurant. Every morning, he showed up for work at 6 a.m. to get the restaurant ready to open for breakfast and would often times still be working past 5 p.m. The restaurant was his dream, and he worked very hard to make sure that it was a success.

Manuel was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Socorro, his parents, his sisters Raquel L. and Theresa and brother Juan Manuel. He is survived by his children: Manuel Jr. (Deborah), Ralph, David, and Gina; his grandchildren Raymond, Greg, Manuel III, Rosanna, Angelique, Vanessa, Krystal, and Joseph; his great-grandchildren: Leanna, Nicholas, Kristian, Sienna, Isiah, Aliyah, Noah, Milania, Daniel, Stella, Kayla, and Kamaryn; his siblings: Jose, Esperanza, Ana, George, Isias, Raquel B., Cuca, Sanjuana, and Geronimo; and countless other family, friends, and loyal customers of his restaurant.

George Taborsky was born in Budapest, Hungary, on February 12, 1928, to Dr. Otto Taborsky, a historian, and his wife, Theresa. George passed from this life peacefully following a long illness, on Friday, June 3, 2016, in the presence of his wife of 63 years, Eva Taborsky.

Born and raised in Budapest, George left that city with his family at the age of 16, at the end of WWII. While residing as a refugee in Salzburg, Austria, George completed his high school education. He then studied as an opera singer at the University Mozarteum and it was predicted that, had he chosen to pursue this path, his would have been remembered as one of the great bass baritone voices of the century. George, however, had a competing love and went to study medicine at the University of Innsbruck, where he also met his future wife.

In 1949, George arrived in the United States on a full scholarship from Brown University. He graduated with a BS in chemistry in 1951 and immediately answered the call of the United States Army. After basic training he served at Fort Riley, Kansas, and as staff sergeant in the department of psychological warfare at Fort Bragg, North Carolina’s “6th Radio Broadcasting and Leaflet Group.” Honorably discharged in 1953, he and Eva were married two days later. The following week, George began his doctoral studies in biochemistry at Yale University. He graduated with his PhD in 1956, and the couple left for Copenhagen, Denmark, where George had a post-doctoral research fellowship from the Carlsberg Founda-

tion, and where the focus of his life’s work on the bio-synthesis of phosphoproteins began.

Upon returning to the United States, George returned to the Department of Biochemistry at Yale as an instructor.

In 1970, he joined the faculty of UCSB, and with Eva and their two young children relocated to Santa Barbara.

George worked in what is now known as the department of Molecular Chemistry and Developmental Biology until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1992. He was an active member of the UCSB community, a very wellrespected biochemist, and an incredibly valued and beloved colleague and professor. As chair of the department, he oversaw a major organizational shift, and is remembered for his ability to bring streamlined solutions to such chaotic situations, with his singularly elegant sense of reason and clarity.

Much more of a man than his academic and professional accomplishments can ever speak for, George will always be remembered for his kindness, his gentle creative spirit, and his keen sense of social justice. He was a brilliant and talented man, outspoken in his values, and always a kind and loving soul. He was proud to be an American, and also of his Hungarian cultural heritage. He was a faithful member of the Catholic Church.

Above all, he loved his family and was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, and grandfather, until the end. He is survived by his wife Eva N. Taborsky, sister Theresa Taborsky, daughter Andrea Moore McCormick, son Peter Taborsky, grandchildren Erik and Sena Taborsky, and a large extended family of in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews, both in the United States and overseas.

A funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday, June 11, at Holy Cross Church at 10:00am.

Katherine Jones Starr 12/19/42-05/31/16

STARR, Katherine Jones was a spirited, generous, and courageous woman of uncommon fortitude. She succumbed peacefully at home to her final encounter on May 31, 2016, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She was surrounded during her final days and weeks by family and friends administering care, and loving massages, and sharing eventful stories of Katherine's varied and adventured life. Kathy attracted friendships wherever she went; once met, she was never forgotten. She was a soul of coalescence.

Katherine was born In Pensacola, FL, on December 19, 1942, to Arthur E. and Susan M. Jones, joining 4 1/4 year old brother Gifford. By the end of WWII, the young family was living in

Fresno, CA, where brother Allen was born in 1946. Katherine moved with her family to Santa Monica, and then to Palos Verdes where she attended Malaga Cove Elementary School and then Narbonne High.

Kathy was a woman of many talents and occupations, always widely admired and respected in whatever she chose to do. Her informal education in art began with helping her parents make linoleum block Christmas cards as a child and making jewelry and sculptures out of shells and objects found on the beach of the family summer home in Maine.

Kathy followed her older brother to UCSB in the early 1960s where she studied art then majored in art and psychology at the College of Idaho in Caldwell. She graduated with a teaching credential in secondary education and then taught art at Nampa Jr. High.

Returning to school at Cal Poly San Louis Obispo in the late 70s, she earned her master's degree in education where she discovered another passion from her independent study in watercolor.

For many years afterward, she shared a demanding schedule in real estate sales and property management along with her passion for art and watercolor. She served as Treasurer of the Los Padres Watercolor Association, was a member of the Santa Barbara Art Association, and SCAPE. She had been a longtime member of the Goleta Valley Art Association, serving as Board Director in 2005 and 2013, Vice President in 2011, and GVAA President in 2012. Her paintings hang in many of the local galleries and in private homes from Santa Barbara to Seattle.

Kathy was a tireless health advocate for those she loved, including her aging parents and several close friends before they passed. She lost her younger brother Allen Jones (Cheryl), to cancer in 2012, but is survived by her husband Sherman Starr, favorite Black Lab "Grover," brother Gifford Jones (Mary), sister-in-law Cheryl Jones, nephews Aaron and Matthew Jones, niece Heather Jones King, stepdaughter Gabrielle Trubach (Jay), 7 grandnieces and nephews plus numerous other relatives from both coasts, England and France.

Friends and family are invited to a public viewing on Saturday, June 4, from 1 to 4 pm at Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapel, 15 East Sola Street. A private burial service for family only will be held on Monday. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider an art scholarship donation in Katherine’s name to the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation.

Beloved Katherine, though you have gone away, we look forward to being with you again someday.

Our paths sadly diverged but sun and sea return, and so shall we most happily.

For Love is strong, faith shows the way. We embrace your being, And yearn for that day.

Sherman

Muhammad Ali 1942-2016

O

The Conscience of a Generation

by B e n B y c e l ne of the most iconic photographs in sports

ira rosenberg

bob gomel

history is of Muhammad Ali, the 23-year-old heavyweight champion of the world, roaring down at the sprawled out and defeated Sonny Liston, right arm cocked and ready to pulverize him if he gets up. That image has hung on the wall of my office forever, a great curio to my 10-year-old grandson, Eli, who asked why I called that roaring giant “The Greatest.”

In fact, news outlets around the world, from the Times of India to the BorneoPost Online, have been using the term to describe Ali, who died on June 3, at the age of 74. Even the New York Times called him a “Titan of Boxing and the 20th Century.” From winning the Olympics to his historic fights with Frazier and Foreman, Ali, in his prime, was one of the best at any weight class in the history of boxing. But for so many, he was far more than a sports hero. For the Vietnam generation, he was a hero because he stood by his beliefs against the war and put his career and life on the line as a result.

My father was a boxing manager in Los Angeles, and we closely followed his career when he was a rising star named Cassius Clay, not yet “the man.” I saw him fight up close and personal twice at the L.A. Sports Arena — once against the aging but cagey Archie Moore.

Ali was by far one of the greatest sports publicity geniuses of all time. He was electrifying and the personification of charisma.

He could promote himself and his upcoming fight like no one before or after his reign.

Before the first Sonny Liston fight, Ali mocked Liston as the “big ugly bear.” He chanted his new mantra for the world (and Liston) to hear: “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Rumble, young man, rumble.”

With dynamic rhyming poems, accompanied by facial expressions that made you laugh, Ali may have been the world’s first rapper. He made predictions about his fights. For example, against Englishman Henry Cooper he said,“This is no jive; Cooper will go down in five.” Ali flattened Cooper in round five.

People listened and laughed, not at him but with him. After winning the heavyweight title from Liston, he shouted to the press, most of whom believed that Ali would be taken out of the arena in an ambulance: “Eat your words. I shook up the world. I’m king of the world.” No one could dispute him.

Early in his public life, he made it clear that he would be his own man. He would bow to no one. He would follow his own convictions regardless of the consequences.

At 22, after winning the heavyweight championship of the world, he announced that he was changing his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali. He had become a member of the universally disliked Nation of Islam. Few black politicians or leaders, except Dr. Martin Luther King, supported him.

Ali went from being a popular champ to being shunned by those in the boxing establishment and in the country at

large. Many reporters insisted on calling him “Cassius” to denigrate his new name and religion.

Meanwhile, more Americans, many of them black, were dying in the war in Vietnam. The nation was deeply divided, and politics were toxic.

Ali became a lightning rod for those who opposed the escalating war. He told the world,“I ain’t got nothing against them Vietcong.” This remark became front-page news around the world. The Champ had said no to Vietnam to the cheers of many and the jeers of even more. Ali did not stop there:“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home to drop bombs and bullets on

Ali came back to win 13 of his next 14 fights, including epochal battles with Joe Frazier and, in October 1974 in Zaire, Africa, against the monstrous George Foreman, who was seven years younger. After Ali knocked out Foreman, ever the showman, Ali leaned down to reporters and said,“What did I tell you?”

After his historic fights, his popularity rose again. President Ford invited him to the White House, at which he is quoted as saying, “You made a big mistake letting me come, because now I’m going after your job.”

After defending his title 10 times in the next few years, he won a technical knockout against Frazier in their final match, known as the “Thrilla in Manila.”

It was a thriller all right, but it almost killed both fighters.

When Ali was asked what it was like, he said, “Close to dying.”

In the late 1970s, Ali’s doctors became concerned about his health condition and advised him to retire from boxing. Ali refused. It was only after he suffered some punishing losses in the ring that he finally retired for good in 1981.

Despite the progression of a disease that was identified as Parkinson’s syndrome in 1984, Ali did not slow down. He entered the next phase of his public career, making speeches on spirituality, peace, and tolerance and visiting diplomat missions around the world.

But the ravages of the disease over the next decades deprived LOUD AND PROUD: Before Parkinson’s stilled his voice, Muhammad him of his voice — which, next Ali advocated famously for himself and also for racial equality.

of adult education in English as a Second Language, Adult High School, GED, parent education, and career development. And we champion lifelong learning. Additionally, we are tasked with the priority mission of advancing California’s economic growth and global competitiveness through workforce improvement. It is evident from our mission that community colleges form the backbone of higher education in this state.

And our students — who are they? They are everyone. Our students are our local high school graduates. They are returning vets.

They are first in their family to attend college. Our students are redirects from UC or CSU due to low acceptance rates or economics or both. Our students may have graduated top in their high school class and chosen to attend one of the community colleges in the state as their first stop along their educational journey. Or they may be high school dropouts. Our students may be educationally disenfranchised and seeking a second chance.

described as a slice of paradise for so many reasons: our environment, quality of life, geography, heritage, cultural richness, and the like. I may be biased, but I firmly believe that our stellar educational institutions contribute immensely to our paradise. SBCC, UCSB, Westmont, Antioch, Fielding, our K-12 school districts — these all serve collectively as the foundation for the vibrant fabric of our community.

At the end of June, I will be retiring as president from one of these exceptional educational institutions — Santa Barbara City College. I am deeply grateful for the 36 years I have had serving in the California Community College system, of which SBCC is a part.

As citizens of this great state, we have been the beneficiaries of the prescient thinking and vision of those who led California during the last century. These leaders had the foresight to establish a world-class public higher education structure in this state built upon the core values of access Our students, and opportunity for all.

Carp Unified’s Racial Split

T

wo of Carpinteria’s public elementary schools consist of primarily white students, while the other two are mainly nonwhite students. This is an ugly fact. Just take a tour through the schools and take a look. The differences are striking, especially because last month was the 62nd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to outlaw school segregation in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling. In 2016, isn’t it illegal to separate children at public schools according to race?

How did this happen? I believe Carpinteria Unified School District has engaged in policies and practices that have resulted, indirectly, in institutional racism.

I don’t believe that the CUSD School Board, school administrators, teachers, or parents deliberately acted to exclude nonwhite children from specific schools.

However, the stratified result remains clear and striking, as if it were planned.

Children are acutely aware of rules, with a compass that guides them toward justice. They recognize immediately when someone receives more or less of their fair share. This was illustrated recently in a story from a friend who works at one of the primarily nonwhite schools. A student asked her about the other nearby elementary school, saying, “Are only white children allowed there?”

As a community, how can we answer that child?

While accidental inequality may have snuck into our schools, there is a chance now to correct this wrong.

We must first acknowledge the segregation exists and then work to dismantle it. Of course it’s easier to deny a problem exists and do nothing, or to get defensive and blame the messenger. But what does that teach our children?

—Maureen Claffey, Carpinteria

ormally, I walk away from angry poodles. Not that there are many on the streets of Santa Barbara. This angry poodle, however, may be rabid, i.e.,

dangerous to the public. It is just possible that this Angry Poodle column published on June 2 is simply espousing old-fashioned anti-Semitic canards [independent.com/sleeplyingdog].

Nick Welsh refers to Bernie Sanders as a “commie Jew.” Politics aside, is this language helpful in making his political point?

It is true that a Jew as a “serious, albeit distant contender for the White House” is a “genuine first.”Agreed.

Let us also concede that one may describe some of Bernie Sanders’s ideas as “communist.” However, in this case, two legitimate points together equal a racial slur.

“Commie Jew” is a well-recognized term of art in anti-Semitic rhetoric. American capitalistic society does not view Communism as just another economic utopian system. By and large, Americans judge Communism viscerally, as an oppressive, horrendous political regime — the plague of the 20th century. We view it as Evil. Rightly so, in my opinion. Now, by putting “commie” (clear and intentionally derogatory slang) and Jew together, our Angry Poodle evokes the imagery of Jews being responsible for this evil. The slur is not unlike “Christ killer” and “money-hungry”— and all those too-familiar-by-now, two-word hate slogans employed by anti-Semites.

The author did not need to say what he said to make his points. This was done out of ignorance and prejudice.

I write as a former Commie (as in from the Soviet Union) and currently very much American capitalist who happens to also be Jewish and a boardmember of Santa Barbara/Tri-Counties Anti-Defamation League.

Maria Anna Herzog (Ann) 01/13/28-06/10/16

Gilles Dupuis 04/22/52-05/20/16

Maria Anna Herzog “Ann,” age 88, resident of Oxnard for over 40 years, passed away on Friday, June 10, 2016, in Santa Barbara.

Ann was born on January 13, 1928, in the small mining town of Aguilar, CO, to Richard and Josephine Wilson. Her father was a miner and with Josephine the parents of eight children. She was predeceased by baby sister Bertha.

Imagine eight children in a twobedroom house, chickens in the yard, coal fire stove, and outdoor plumbing in the cold Colorado winters. After Ann graduated from high school in 1946, she left Aguilar to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse. Graduating in 1953, Ann began her nursing career at the VA Center in Wadsworth, KS, where she met her future husband, Robert Herzog, who worked as an orderly.

Ann and Bob relocated to California and became parents to Deborah Ann and Robert John.

After 40 years as an RN in a variety of settings including Soledad Penitentiary, Napa Valley State Hospital, and Oxnard Community Hospital, Ann retired and settled in Oxnard. Not one to sit on her laurels, Ann traveled to China, Ireland, Scotland, Hawaii, and Alaska. Closer to home, Ann enjoyed gardening, especially her orchids, watching old Westerns, and meeting new people through the Birthday Club. Ann became a grandmother to twins, Samuel and Julia, in 1997.

Ann is preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Josephine, sister Mabel, brother David, and baby son Carl.

Visitation will take place at Conrad’s & James Reardon Funeral home on Sunday, June 19 at 3:00pm, followed by the Rosary at 5:00pm with an opportunity to share stories,and memories of Ann. A reception will follow in the guest center. Mass will be held at Santa Clara Catholic Church on Monday morning, June 20 at 10:00am, and burial at Santa Clara Cemetery immediately thereafter.

Ann is survived by her two children, John in Santa Barbara, and Deborah (Michael Finger); grandchildren Samuel and Julia Finger, in Boca Raton, FL; and former husband, Robert Herzog in Goleta. She is also survived by brothers James (Melinda) and Richard, sisters Josie and Pauline, and many friends.

Gilles Dupuis passed away unexpectedly of natural causes at his home in southern Oregon on May 20, 2016.

He was born in Haute-Rive, Québec, Canada, to Lambert Dupuis and Marthe (Gagnon) Dupuis on April 22, 1952. His family moved to Longueuil near Montreal, where in the 1970s he participated in socio political activities aimed at maintaining the culture and language of the French-speaking majority. Gilles was a proud Québécois to the end.

After running a family tire shop, in the 1980s Gilles left Montreal on a motorcycle and made it to San Francisco where he settled, meeting his first wife, Yvonne Heuston, and pursued a woodworking career. They moved to Santa Barbara, caring for a menagerie of pets including a blueand-gold macaw, Venus. Gilles met his second wife Joan (Joie) McKay ,during her home renovation, and together they built a custom furniture and woodworking business named Beau Bois. They enjoyed traveling, especially to Africa, and reared their only child, Camille, to whom he taught his passion of creating with his hands. Gilles’ s clients were always impressed with his love of wood (“I eat wood!”) and his many projects that replicated antique aging and finishes.

After two decades in Santa Barbara, he relocated to Capistrano Beach, CA, and married Debbie Martz. They ultimately settled in Oregon, where Gilles volunteered full-time for the state parks, putting his woodworking skills to use. He spent ample time in the forest hunting for mushrooms, on the river fishing for salmon and crab, and drawing future furniture designs. He was a man of many projects, with an affinity for tinkering, even spending his last day testing out handmade crawfish traps. He will be remembered by many as a true master of his craft, with a warm magnetic personality and always a sparkle in his eye. Gilles is survived by his daughter, Camille Dupuis of Santa Barbara; wife Debora “Debbie” Dupuis, and her two daughters and grandson; and, in Québec, sisters Ginette (Andre), Marjolaine and Joanne, and five nieces and nephews. His sister Gaetane preceded him in death.

RUSH TO VOTE? Years ago, when I was work-

ing for a small Orange County newspaper, the publisher hurried to my desk, warning of a supposed “bracero rush” on the polls coming that very day.

He’d apparently been alerted that temporary field workers imported from Mexico under the bracero program were planning to mass at the town’s polling place and vote.

I had great doubts about this. The young Mexican workers had at that point demonstrated zero interest in our election and in any case were ineligible to cast a ballot even if they wanted to. But the likelihood of this rumor had apparently escaped the publisher’s attention. But who can account for political paranoia of those days, or these?

So, late afternoon found me in front of a home where voting was to take place, camera at hand. It was quiet, very quiet. A few of the locals came to cast ballots. No one else was on the street, least of all a band of farmworkers shouting slogans, waving signs, and demanding to vote.

Finally, the polling place closed. There had been no “bracero rush.” I went home to my wife and soon after quit the paper and went to work at the Santa Barbara News-Press.

kind of people,” and we know who they are: Democrats.

They dreamed up all kinds of strict ID requirements aimed at keeping the wrong people from voting, despite microscopic evidence of any fraud whatsoever. Texas, as usual, is one of the worst. In one case it refused to accept University of Texas ID cards (wrong kind of voter?), but a concealed weapon permit (right kind of voter) was okay.

When a dozen retired Catholic nuns went to an Indiana Democratic polling place to vote in 2008, they were rejected for lack of a photo ID. On appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court, in all its questionable wisdom, ruled that Indiana was within its rights. In GOP-controlled

Arizona, officials cut the number of Maricopa County polling places for the March 2016 primary from 2,000 to 60. The result was that some voters spent up to five hours in line, and some never got a chance to vote.

Meanwhile here in Santa Barbara County, Joe Holland, county clerk-recorder-assessor, was practically running out into State Street, begging registered voters to cast their ballots.

In D.C., Demo honchos are determined not to lose the seat Capps has held for nearly two decades, and her late husband, Walter, before that. They even dispatched a couple dozen young Congressional aides to bed down at the homes of Santa Barbara party loyalists to knock on doors in the pre-election days, beating the drum for Carbajal.

Santa Barbara’s Demo Mayor Helene Schneider went head-to-head with Carbajal and the Democratic Party power and lost. But it would have been fun to have her feisty voice shaking up the Capitol corridors.

FORESTERS AIMING FOR WICHITA: Santa Barbara’s summer champions have won five National Baseball Congress World Series.

THe Foresters’ Formula

T

here is no question that the Santa Barbara For-

esters have been the foremost summer-league baseball team in the western states for the past decade. Five times since 2006, they have brought home the championship trophy of the National Baseball Congress, dominating teams from Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Alaska, and Washington in the annual NBC World Series at Wichita, Kansas.

Bill “Pinner” Pintard, entering his 22nd season as the Foresters manager, has compiled a phenomenal record of 857 wins and 261 losses, a .767 winning percentage. He relishes a challenge, as he showed in 2008 when the Foresters played a historic three-game series against the Cuban National Team at Latinoamericano Stadium in Havana. They were the first U.S. team to play there since the Baltimore Orioles had visited in 1999. Cuba, the three-time Olympic champions, swept the series.

The Foresters will step out of their league this month to face another significant test — two games against the U.S.A. Baseball Collegiate National Team. The first game will take place Tuesday, June 28, at Dodger Stadium. The following

day, they will play at UCSB’s Caesar Uyesaka Stadium, the Foresters’ home diamond.

Team U.S.A. will be priming for international competition in Chinese Taipei, Japan, and Cuba. Led by head coach George Horton of Oregon, it has culled the cream of the crop among young college players. Alumni of the team include such major-league stars as Kris Bryant, Max Scherzer, David Price, Will Clark, Nomar Garciaparra, and Todd Helton.

The Foresters have been a stepping-stone for 37 players who’ve reached the major leagues. They primarily have come from colleges like Texas and Nebraska with whom Pintard has established relationships.“I’ve been doing it a long time,” the 68-year-old manager said. “I have the trust of the college coaches that when they send their players here, we’re going to make them better.”

In the case of James Shields, the pitcher who’s now with the Chicago White Sox, he came to the Foresters out of high school. Pintard said, “It was great for the community to be able to see James Shields pitching when he was 18 years old.”

Santa Barbara’s success in summer baseball can be attributed to two things that might be represented by the “F” on the team’s caps: Fun and Family.

“It was rough,” he said.“It started off all right but went downhill. We lost to TCU in semifinals of the Big 12. That’s why we come out here: Try to forget about all that and have fun again.

Now I hope to win a lot of baseball games and go back to Wichita, try to win that again.”

Boswell played for Santa Barbara’s NBC champions in 2014.

“It was awesome,” he said.“I was right on the bottom of the dog pile. I learned from that. We do that again, I’ll be one of the last ones out there.” He added, “The main thing I’ve learned is to keep it fun, keep it loose, because that’s when you’re going to play your best. That’s why I love it out here. [Pintard] lets you be you. If you don’t figure it out, it’s on you.”

Pintard explained his methods: “We give the players the freedom to find out who they are, not what we perceive them to be. They need to know. We talk about constantly improving. Our motto is ‘Strive for success; deal with your failure.’ You don’t fear failure, because you’re going to fail in this game. When failure happens, you deal with it and try to figure it out.

HOT CORNER AND BIG SWING: Pictured above and at top, Bret Boswell (#17) of Texas holds down third base in his third season with the Foresters and also hit over .400 in the first week of the Foresters’ season.

“We give players green lights to steal bases. If they get thrown out in June, that’s okay; they’re going to be safe in July. We never get mad at guys going first to third, second to home, or trying to stretch a single into a double early in the game. Late in the game, they better be right, but early in the game, we want them to press it. They get thrown out at second base in the third inning trying to stretch to a double, I don’t care. They’re trying to do something. Acts of commission, we’re good. Acts of omission, uh-uh. We don’t want them playing safe. We want them pushing the envelope.

“Before the game, we talk about, what are you going to do as an individual today to help your team win? Not, what am I going to tell you to do? [But] what are you going to do? That

means having the courage to put down a drag bunt and beat it out. Don’t play it safe and hope you get a hit, because you’re only going to get a hit one out of three times. If the defense is going to give you the push and drag, go ahead and try it. You’re not going to get any static from us.

“We’re at the top of the charts as far as letting players make decisions.

Pitchers and catchers call the game. Hit-and-runs, sacrifice bunts, and the squeeze plays come from us [coaches], sometimes a double steal. We steal third, and everybody says, why do you steal third? It’s safe not to steal third. But there’s 11 ways to score from third base, and there’s only two from second: a base hit and a two-base error.”

Happiness is the hometown for a pair of former Santa Barbara High teammates, Connor McManigal, a Florida International outfielder, and John Brontsema, a UC Irvine infielder.“Johnny and I both played summer ball other places, but after playing for the Foresters last year, we realized it’s the best Coach Bill Pintard place to play,” McManigal said. “[Pintard] coaches how I think every coach should coach their players.

He pumps us up. Everybody’s excited to come to the park every single day. Playing for school is more of a job. In the summer, you find your love of the game again. I honestly compare Pinner to [Chicago Cubs manager] Joe Maddon. I’ve never played for him, but you can see all his players love showing up at the park and have fun winning.”

Maddon, whose Cubs have the best record in the major leagues, espoused this advice at his introductory Chicago press conference:“Don’t ever permit the pressure to exceed the pleasure.”

Pintard, who moonlights as a scout for the New York Yankees, had the same job with the Angels when Maddon was on the coaching staff in Anaheim.“He approached me one day and wanted to have lunch with me,” Pintard said. “He wanted to know all about my son Eric.”

Eric Pintard was a Foresters pitcher in 1994 when Bill got involved with the club. Cancer cut short Eric’s playing career and took his life 10 years later, but in the meantime he was his father’s pitching coach and founded Hugs for Cubs, the team’s program of fun activities (bowling nights, surf outings, a trip to an Angels game) for children with cancer.

Bill Pintard remembers Eric in many ways, from the number 19 he wears to the license plate on his truck that reads: ZAL GUD. Eric’s favorite saying was “[I]t’s all good.” Life is too short, Bill Pintard realizes, for pleasure to be squeezed out by pressure.

The Family

The Foresters are a small-budget operation, and they could not put together a team every summer if families in the community did not volunteer to host players in their homes. Chris Proctor, the team doctor, signed up 10 years ago.

“We say we’ll take one [player], and we end up with three,” Proctor said. “We have three boys, and they loved it. When they were young, the Foresters were like big brothers. Later, they were friends. The great thing about the Foresters is that they learn the art of giving back to the community, like visiting sick kids in the hospital.”

Andre Miller, an Oakland native who has become a Santa Barbara police officer, was the first player the Proctors took in. “He was in the

GAUCHOS GOING TO OMAHA: A grand slam by Sam Cohen (#30) sent UCSB to the College World Series.

GauchosSTunLouisviLLe WiTH WalK-Off Grand sL sLam Pinch Hitter Freshman Sam Cohen

I

Sends UCSB to College World Series for First Time

t was not just unbelievable; it was super-unbelievable.

Sam Cohen’s pinch-hit, grand-slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday lifted UCSB to a 4-3 victory over Louisville, sweeping the favored Cardinals out of the NCAA Super Regional and sending the Gauchos to the College World Series for the first time.

How unlikely was UCSB’s victory, much less the way it happened?

★ Louisville had a 36-1 record on its home diamond before the Gauchos came in and won two straight, beginning with a 4-2 pitching gem on Saturday. ★ The Cardinals were picked by many experts to be the next national champion. Three of their players were chosen in the first round of the major league draft, and seven altogether went in the first four rounds. ★ Entering the ninth inning with a lead, Louisville had a streak of 186 consecutive victories. ★ On the mound for the Cardinals was Zack Burdi, the nation’s premier closer with a 100-mph fastball, drafted in the first round by the Chicago White Sox. ★ Cohen, a third-string catcher, had 26 at-bats all season and one home run.

Burdi started the ninth inning by striking out slugger Austin Bush, who had homered in UCSB’s four previous postseason games. JJ Muno singled on a grounder up the middle.

Then Burdi walked Dempsey Grover (after putting him in a 1-2 hole) and pinch-hitter Billy Fredrick, which brought up Cohen with the bases loaded.

UCSB coach Andrew Checketts thought Cohen’s bat speed might be able to contend with Burdi’s stuff. On a 1-2 count, the freshman got ahold of a 90-mph changeup and belted it inside the right-field foul pole. The game-winning blast and his trip around the bases into a joyous dog pile of teammates — swallowing up the umpire who had to make sure he touched home plate — was the No. 1 highlight of ESPN’s Top 10 and sent shock waves throughout the college baseball world.

It was UCSB’s Kirk Gibson moment, recalling the Dodgers’ stunning victory in the 1988 World Series — eight years before Cohen was born. Donn Bernstein, a Gaucho fan who worked for ABC, sent a message to announcer Al Michaels, suggesting that his call when the U.S. hockey team upset the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics was appropriate for the occasion: “Do you believe in miracles? YES!” The Gauchos (42-18-1) will face Oklahoma State (41-20) in the opening game of the College World Series at noon (PDT) Saturday, June 18, at Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska.

Also in their bracket are Miami (Fla.) and Arizona.Whoever emerges without two defeats will take on the other bracket winner in a three-game series for the national title.

DRAFT DETAILS: Right-hander Shane Bieber, who pitched UCSB to its Saturday win

at Louisville, was a fourth-round selection of the Cleveland Indians. Other Gaucho selections were outfielder Andrew Calica (11th round, Cleveland) and pitchers James Carter (21st round, Dodgers), Trevor Bettencourt (25th round, Philadelphia), and Justin Kelly (33rd round, Angels). … The Phillies selected Santa Barbara High’s outstanding senior right-hander Kevin Gowdy with the first pick of the second round, a position that is worth a potential $1 million contract. Gowdy, recruited by UCLA, has until late July to decide whether to go pro. … The Santa Barbara Foresters had 18 former or current players named in the draft. Former S.B. High infielder Johnny Brontsema chose to sign with the Kansas City Royals, who picked him in the 26th round.

Awaken DRIVE FOR FIVE: The Foresters returned with their fifth championship trophy from the NBC World Series in 2014 after a 27-hour bus ride from Wichita.

guest house, but it had spiders, and Andre was afraid of them,” Proctor said.“We had to move him into our main house.”

The Foresters beat the bushes to find host families.“We have volunteers who put in countless hours for this two-month season,” Pintard said.“I don’t have to worry about getting host families or radio ads or anything else when I’m in the dugout. It’s a community-supported team. There are teams in our league that have big wealthy guys that write checks for everything. We don’t have that. We get donations. The trash company owns third base; the bank gets first base.”

Paul Uyesaka, a longtime member of Foresters/Hugs for Cubs board of directors, continues a family tradition of supporting baseball in Santa Barbara. His late father, Caesar Uyesaka, the namesake of UCSB’s stadium, ran a Dodgers farm club here in the 1960s.

“Sandy Koufax would come by dad’s store,” Uyesaka said. “He’d take Vin Scully for lunch at the Biltmore.” Now Uyesaka is working on behalf of hopeful players.“We need host families badly,” he said.

Christina Songer is president of the board. She started putting up several players each summer after hearing Pintard speak at opening day of her son’s Little League.“It’s been fun,” she said while watching the Foresters play their California Collegiate League (CCL) opener last week against the Healdsburg Prune Packers. “We’re not required to feed them, but I like to cook. I’ve been invited to some players’ weddings this fall.”

She is from Texas herself and usually hosts players from the Lone Star State, but this summer she has Daniel Robert of Auburn and a pair from Florida State, last year’s Foresters MVP Matt POWER PROVIDER: Bryndan Arredondo (#8) of the Henderson and Steven Wells.

Foresters is greeted by bat boy Ryan Marsh and teammate Henderson and Wells would not Blake Smith after hitting a two-run homer against the come to Santa Barbara until the Semi- Healdsburg Prune Packers. noles were eliminated from the NCAA tournament. Early in the season, the team employs temporary fill-ins like third baseman John Jensen, a recent Santa Barbara High graduate. “I jumped all over it,” Jensen said.“Dmitri Young is our hitting coach. It’s awesome.”

Healdsburg, making its debut in the CCL, was fired up to play the league’s perennial champions. The Prune Packers took two out of three games in what may turn out to be a high-class rivalry between teams from wine meccas.“It’s nice being in a collegiate league with good talent,” said Healdsburg first baseman Jamey Smart.“[The Foresters] carry themselves well. They’re very professional about their business.”

Santa Barbara won the second game of the series 5-3 after Boswell and centerfielder Colby Barrick hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning. Barrick is a Santa Ynez athlete who hit .388 at Hancock College this year and is committed to UCSB. Barrick and Boswell came through again last Sunday in a 6-5 road victory against the Conejo Oaks, a CCL team whose frustrations against Santa Barbara prompted Mike Scioscia, the Angels manager who has a stake in the team, to call the Foresters the “Evil Empire.” Barrick hit a game-tying double in the ninth inning and scored the winning run on a single by Boswell.

The Foresters took up their usual residence at UCSB this week and will play 27 home games in June and July. If their progress in every previous season is any indication, they’ll be getting better and better and ready to wow Wichita in August.

AB2844 is Bad Law!

This bill mandates the creation of a blacklist of companies that participate in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement in support of justice, equality and human rights for Palestinians. Companies on the blacklist would be prevented from doing business with any governmental agency in California, whether state, county or municipal.

The Supreme Court has ruled that boycotts, as a form of free speech, deserve the highest protection under the First Amendment.

Boycotts have a long and noble history in the United States and particularly in California. This bill is promoted by those who refuse to recognize Palestinian rights, and could not be more antithetical to the core values of the First Amendment.

It would be expensive to enforce and would needlessly hamper business in California.

Unbelievably, our State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson is a 2844 co-author.

Please urge her to Oppose 2844 in any form.

Whale of a Time

This humpback whale put on a great show two Sundays ago in the Santa Barbara Channel, breaching like a rocket, waving its pectoral fins, and barrel-rolling in the water as volunteers from Gray Whales Count enjoyed their annual end-of-count party on the Condor Express. Gray Whales Count is a research and education nonprofit that, for about 101 days from mid-March until the end of May, arms dedicated volunteers with binoculars and data sheets. Then they trade shifts at “Counter’s Point” on UCSB’s Coal Oil Point Reserve, staring out into the channel to identify and count gray whales as they migrate toward Alaska. The organization also collects data on other marine mammals. This year’s count, which ended on May 26, counted 1,426 gray whales (including 296 calves), numerous dolphins, and even a few otters in the kelp of Isla Vista. For more info, see graywhalescount.org.

Sure, proprietor Henry Franco has plenty of steady customers who enjoy the personalized perks of membership. But his door is also open to nonmembers, including those who deserve proper treatment on their official day of dadhood.

A comfortable and semiprivate storefront half a block off downtown State Street, Franco’s shop is a cutting-edge throwback. On one hand, he offers highly refined cutting, styling, and shaving services in a traditional setting. On the other, he says he’s brought men’s grooming into the 21st century.

rSalton Sea: A

s my kayak sliced through the syrupy smooth Salton Sea, the only commotion on California’s largest lake was a massive flock of migrating American white pelicans plunging their long yellow beaks in the shallows, feasting in waters 25 percent saltier than the Pacific Ocean. I glided by them as they plunged and bathed their creamy white feathers in sharp contrast against the dark, murky waters.

In my opinion, the Salton Sea gets a bad rap. I’ve kayaked around its 110 miles of briny shoreline on five occasions. I never got a whiff of any foul stench or witnessed any mass die-offs of birds in the southeastern corner of the state. Of course, all my trips were during the winter when desert temps are generally mild and the Salton Sea is brimming with birdlife.

You can say what you want about the Golden State’s inland sea, but there’s no denying that the birds love it. Conveniently situated on the Pacific Flyway, the Salton Sea is a magnet for its diversity of birds and birders alike. More than a whopping 400 avian species have been recorded on the Salton Sea, surrounded by the Colorado Desert and vast agricultural lands. Eighty percent of the entire American white pelican population winters here, and 70 percent of California’s burrowing owl population thrives in this unique desert habitat, especially in and around the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge.

Previously known as the Salton Sink before massive flooding breached levees and dikes in 1905 and again in 1907, it wasn’t long before it became known as the Salton Sea. Over the years, a resort-like atmosphere ensued. With the likes of Hollywood elites such as Frank Sinatra, the Marx Brothers, and Jerry Lewis, the Salton Sea was becoming “the next Las Vegas.” At one point, it was receiving more visitors than Yosemite National Park.

However, more flooding occurred, thwarting further development.

Then, over decades, the reverse happened, and the Salton Sea has gradually receded, especially in recent times. Eventually the Salton Sea lost its allure, but don’t tell the birds that depend on this quirky desert oasis, their great escape from the distant north.

ASK THE DENTIST Casual • Dress • Athletic • All-Day

QUESTION: What is the difference between oral and IV sedation?

ANSWER: There are some major differences between oral (or anti anxiety medication) and IV sedation.

IV sedation: •

Is a very safe form of sedation when extensive general anesthesia is not needed

•

Is a more reliable form of sedation than oral medication, which may or may not give you the desired result and can wear off quickly

•

Allows us to complete any amount of dental work at one time much more efficiently while you remain relaxed and comfortable without memory of your procedure

•

Makes it possible to give you anti-inflammatory and pain medication in your IV that can jump start your healing process without you having to take medication as soon as you get home.

Suesan Pawlitski

Tone-Up

Celebrates 20 Years of Exercise

U

pon opening in 1996, Tone-Up fitness studio became a Santa Barbara exercise staple. “People who come in after a bad day leave feeling a lot better,” said owner Suesan Pawlitski, who’s dedicated her life to making exercise fun. At her women-only studio, Pawlitski, along with her two instructors, teach group and individual barre-based classes that combine aspects of ballet, yoga, weight training, and Pilates to focus on strength and toning.

After earning a degree in dance from UCSB, Pawlitski stumbled into the aerobic scene of the 1980s. After years of teaching both dance and aerobics, Pawlitski decided to open her own studio for the everyday woman, one that would teach “the other part of fitness — the connection of people.” She believes her friendly environment allows students to “forget that they’re working out because it’s fun.” Sometimes Pawlitski even catches her students gossiping between pliés.

Typically, Pawlitski’s Tone-Up group fitness classes begin with different exercises at the barre. Students work their calves, glutes, quads, and arms but get a killer ab workout, too. “The whole culture of the studio is positive and healthy,” said Pawlitski, who doesn’t want the exercise to feel like work.

On Monday, July 4, Tone-Up will celebrate its 20th anniversary, a testament to Pawlitski’s tried-and-true methods. “There’s not really any exercise that someone can’t do — that’s my favorite thing,” said Madalena, one of Pawlitski’s most dedicated students.

For her, this is “so much better than family.”

douBle energy nergy TTWins’ The Memory Diet

“

D

ementia is not a normal part of the aging process. It does not have to happen.” So say the Double Energy Twins, Judi and Shari Zucker, about their new book, The Memory Diet: More Than 150 Recipes for the Proper Care and Feeding of Your Brain.

The Zucker twins started cooking and writing their own cookbooks at a young age, but this fifth title comes from their mother’s diagnosis of dementia. The twins were told that their mother’s illness was environmentally induced — not genetic. So Judi and Shari sought to find ways to help their mother through her sickness, including finding healthy foods that fed the brain and decreased memory loss. The recipes are centered in the Mediterranean Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, which has proved to decrease getting dementia by 53 percent, according to the twins.

Ginger Mint Spirals with Pine Nuts:

“Ginger is an anti-inflammatory,” Shari said.“It is so good for the brain.” Pine nuts are mixed in to serve as “a perfect sweet and delicate topping,” according to the recipe.

R

eaders Elise and Ray let me know that The Nugget Bar and Grill opened for business on Saturday, June 11, at 5096 Carpinteria Avenue, the former home of Cielo Bar & Grill and Cabo’s Baja Grill & Cantina.

This is the fourth location for the eatery that started life decades ago at 2318 Lillie Avenue in Summerland.

The Nugget expanded to 5687 Calle Real in Goleta in December 2009 and then added a location at 21 West Victoria Street in downtown Santa Barbara last July. Unlike the three other locations, most of the seating at the new Nugget in Carpinteria is outdoors, so if you are itching to have a Gold Miner’s Classic Burger during inclement weather, plan on ordering to go! The Nugget is open daily 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Call 318-1016 or visit nuggetbarandgrill.com.

SUBWAY CLOSES: Reader Jeff passed word to me that Subway at 3613 State Street (next to Rudy’s) has closed.

MISO HUNGRY MOVING: Reader Jeff let me know that the recently closed Subway on upper State Street is becoming the new home for Miso Hungry, according to the big sign in front. Miso Hungry is currently located at the nearby Galleria.

The Galleria mall on upper State Street is scheduled for demolition and replacement by a four-story, mixed-use project with 85 units of rental housing and 11,000 square feet of commercial space.

CONVIVO UPDATE: Restaurateur Larry Mindel and Chef Peter McNee will be opening Convivo restaurant and bar this spring at the newly remodeled Santa Barbara Inn, 901 East Cabrillo Boulevard.

Convivo means “to come together” and is the root word for the Latin term for “feast.” Convivo recently announced that Larry Nobles will be the general manager.

“Larry’s experience in the hospitality industry makes him the ideal choice for Convivo,” said Mindel. “Beyond his proven ability to successfully manage some of the finest restaurants, his thorough knowledge of Santa Barbara positions him to be a strategic force behind the opening of Convivo, and we’re delighted to have him join our team.”

Most recently, Nobles served as restaurant manager for San Ysidro Ranch, ranked the #1 Hotel in America by Forbes and winner of Wine Spectator’s 2014 and 2015 Grand Award. At San Ysidro Ranch, he was responsible for overseeing its two restaurants (Stonehouse and Plow & Angel), private dining, events, catering, and more.

Prior to his role at San Ysidro Ranch, Nobles was the general manager of both Stella Mare’s and Le Café Stella in Santa Barbara. Before that he served as the restaurant manager at Holdren’s Steaks & Seafood and was a mixologist at The Biltmore.

FATHER’S DAY AT THE LARK: At The Lark restaurant, 131 Anacapa Street, Chef Jason Paluska and team present Father’s Day (June 19) dining with a trio of specials in addition to the summer menu.

Specials include Cornmeal Fried West Coast Oysters with Old Rasputin Aioli, Grilled Meyer Lemon and Lark Hot Sauce and Smoked Beef Brisket with Ancho Chile Cornbread, BBQ Baked Hominy, Beer Braised Greens, and Crispy Shallots. Dessert includes a Classic Coconut Crème Pie with Kaffir Lime, Toasted Almond, and Chocolate created by Executive Pastry Chef Jeff Haines.

SPROUTS UPDATE: Reader Dick says that Sprouts Farmers Market, coming to 175 North Fairview Avenue in Goleta, the former home of Haggen (for about three seconds) and Vons, has moved the opening date from July 27 to August 24.

INDIA HOUSE UPDATE: Reader Brendan says that a “For Lease” sign is up on the front of India House restaurant at 418 State Street. India House is open for business as usual.

WATERMELON FIRE & ICE: While visiting my Montecito childhood friend “Flip,” who now lives in Texas, I had the opportunity to try some amazing homemade salsa called “Watermelon Fire & Ice.” Juicy watermelon replaces tomatoes in this salsa that’s simultaneously cool and spicy hot.

Flip likes to modify the recipe a bit by using habañero peppers with the jalapeños (and he suggests using gloves when chopping jalapeños or your hands will burn all night). To not have the salsa become too watery, let the chopped watermelon drain in a colander for a while. Mix everything together in a large bowl, and you will end up with four cups of delicious, Restaurant Guy–approved salsa. If you want to really go all out, use a hollowed-out watermelon halve as a serving bowl.

Here’s the official recipe: 3 cups chopped watermelon, ½ cup chopped green bell pepper, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic salt.

Blueberry muffins uffins

“Kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk!”My 5-year-old is chirping with the biggest grin as he drops three blueberries into his pail while we pick our own from Santa Barbara Blueberries at Restoration Oaks Ranch, which is open the entire blueberry season from May to August.

You can’t miss the signs as you head north on the 101 about 10 minutes south of Buellton. As I drive up to a nicely shaded farm stand with my two happy sons, a very friendly woman waits to help us. She points out rows that are ready to pick and sends us on our way with three tin pails. My 5-year-old flies to the rows of bushes with his pail swinging gleefully as my youngest places his pail on his head and smiles.

Even as the 101 highway rushes by, there is something quiet and nostalgic about picking your own blueberries and dreaming about all the goodies you want to make. “Will we see the mama bear and the baby bear?” my son asks, recalling his favorite book, Blueberries for Sal Sal, a must-read classic that’s impossible not to think about while picking. “Not today,”I say, as we carry our pails back to the farm stand, with thoughts of blueberry muffins on my mind.

Yes, We Can UCSB ArTS & leCTUreS plans an all-star lineup for 2016-17 at that point, gas up the pickup, put on your best boots and jeans, and head to The Time Jumpers on Thursday, September 29, for a night of classic country music with Vince Gill and a group of Nashville veterans.

No matter where your head is at when the season begins, you owe it to yourself to catch at least one of the two classic performances that wind up this opening flurry of activity. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis will be at the Granada on Tuesday, October 4, and Alonzo King Lines Ballet will take the stage there on Saturday, October 8.

Ken Burns And that’s just the opening two weeks!

Later on, expect stunning virtuosity from the triple Genius Award– winning trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile, who will play an all-Bach program on Tuesday, May 2. For those who want to rock, check out the fabulous Neko Case, who hits Campbell Hall on Friday, November 18. For those who yearn to jook, or at least learn what jookin’ is, there’s Lil Buck, the dance world phenomenon who comes through on Tuesday, October 25, with an interestingly eclectic band featuring musicians from the Silk Road Project. Without a doubt, this is a season that has something to keep audiences on the edges of their seats — or jumping out of them to dance and cheer.

T

he perennial question that recurs at the conclusion of every Arts & Lectures season —“Can this season be topped?”

— is again upon us. Arts & Lectures’ answer, which was delivered at the organization’s annual season announcement party on Monday, June 13, at the Four Seasons Biltmore, is a resounding “Yes, we can.”

Let’s take that good news and break it down some. Can we have a season that includes all of the biggest stars that we have come to know and love through Arts & Lectures in the past? Yes, we can have Ken Burns, Joshua Bell, Yo-Yo Ma, David Sedaris, and Wynton Marsalis all in the same year. Can those of us who love to explore new things have a string of outrageously interesting Santa Barbara debuts to look forward to? Of course we can. How about Iron & Wine, Canada’s Ballet BC, Ping Chong, and Kamasi Washington — and that’s only to name a very few.

What if I’m on a budget but still want to revel in all the great shows that are coming— coming can A&L help me? Yes, they can, and that’s the big message of the new broBallet BC chure, which is available all over town and online at artsandlectures.sa.ucsb .edu. There are a dozen series ranging from Dance to Talking Heads, and from Chamber Arts to National Parks. Sign up for any of those and you will cut your per-show ticket costs dramatically at the same time that you set these great nights into your calendar.

There are too many highlights to list them all, but here are a few tantalizing suggestions: Do at least one thing during the program’s super-impressive opening two weeks, from

September 24-25. That way you will be fully prepared for Ken Burns, who made the film, when he arrives at noon the following Sunday, October 2, to talk about the parks and take your questions.

Maybe at the end of September you will he more hyped to hear about the historic presidential election, in which case you will need to hear Fareed Zakaria (Tue., Sept. 27) offer views of election 2016 from at home and abroad. If you’ve had enough politics

Bob Dylan’s 37th studio album continues in the vein of last year’s Shadows in the Night.

Essentially, he gets his Frank Sinatra Tin Pan Alley nostalgia kick on once again (should we blame Rod Stewart for starting this whole baby-boomer-icons-covering-the-Great-American-Songbook shtick?), yet he comes off sounding more like Leon Redbone taking us “Up a Lazy River.”

Clearly this is a labor of love on Dylan’s part, and on some of the old pop standards —“Melancholy Mood,” “All the Way,” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” with their pleasant Django Reinhardt/Stéphane Grappelli hot club gypsy-jazz arrangements — he shines. But on the whole, it’s hit or miss, and one can’t help but wonder when Bobby Dylan will instill a sense of wonder in all the seekers again.

— Sean Mageean

Albums-wise, Beck Hansen operates in two general modes: mellow (Sea Change, Morning Phase) and bangers (Guero, The Information).

“Wow” serves as a preview of a yet-untitled October 21 collection that supposedly falls in the latter: that virtuoso blend of alt-rock, hip-hop, country, soul, and retro he perfected back in 1996 with his tour de force, Odelay. Unfortunately, “Wow” pales compared to recent one-offs such as the LCD Soundsystem– biting “Time Bomb” and last year’s catchy-AF “Dreams.” This echo-y, almost jokey, slow-burning, electro-pop party anthem is not terrible per se, but it never quite ignites. Tragically, the repeated phrase “giddy up” evokes Kramer from Seinfeld (and not in a good way). Beck phrases it best: “It’s irrelevant / elephant in the room goes boom.”

STrengTh of

STringS David Bromberg

It’s easy to take for granted how much influence eclectic combinations of stringed instruments — acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins, dobros, pedal steel slides, banjos, violins, etc. — have had on the sound of American music. Thanks to advances in the art of arrangement, today these configurations can be heard in everything from traditional bluegrass to Top 40 pop. If one were to draw up a genealogical tree of all the musicians who have succeeded in weaving together bright tapestries of strings for popular and roots music, you would find David Bromberg, who will be at the Lobero Theatre with a quintet on Thursday, June 23, sitting on one of the main branches, strumming on an old banjo. Or playing guitar. Or fiddle, or mandolin. Pretty much whatever you’ve got.

Musical versatility and a wry sense of humor first put a young Bromberg in front of the public as a sought-after sideman for Jerry Jeff Walker, Bob Dylan, and Ringo Starr, among countless others. Talking by phone with him from his violin store in Wilmington, Delaware, last week, I asked if he had any specific memories of those session days, and he replied with the characteristically dry observation that “you’re not going to forget playing with Bob Dylan,” something that Bromberg did for three albums.

His solo career earned Bromberg a place in the hearts of many hipsters and not a few aspiring musicians. Listening again to underground classics like “Bullfrog Blues,” one hears a certain self-awareness in the comedic tone of his vocals that influenced such singers as Gordon Gano, Jeff Buckley, and even Jad Fair. Bromberg’s own influences go deep into the rich history of roots music, starting with the Reverend Gary Davis, whom Bromberg took lessons from in New York City for $5 a session. As for what to expect on Thursday night, well, that information is not available at this time because, in Bromberg’s words, “I’ve never had a set list in my life. We decide as a group what to start with, and then we see where it goes from there.”

New Museum A Chapter for Your

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

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

We are asking those who believe in the power of art to invest in our renovation and expansion efforts. You can go to campaign.sbma.net to make a gift and learn about the campaign.

ack in 2009, when times were really tough for artists, Susan Tibbles was just happy she could still pay her Santa Barbara Tennis Club (SBTC) membership fees; she swims there and plays tennis sometimes, too.

Health problems had brought the well-known assemblage artist eyeball to eyeball with mortality a few years back, and exercise became suddenly crucial. But the club also helped Tibbles mull her own diminished prospects, the art market that took a plunge after the 2008 banking debacle. At least she was in good company. “Artists are always the first ones to feel a financial crunch,” said Tibbles, who claims a canary-in-a-coal-mine effect had begun for Santa Barbara painters, sculptors, et al., as early as 2005. “All my artist friends were having problems, and I lost seven galleries in one year. Places that used to sell my work were wiped off the face of the earth.” Maybe the marketplace was not liquid, but the pool and the courts offered calming perspective and then an unexpected solution.

One morning, Tibbles ran into SBTC manager Amber Bottelsen, who was having a décor crisis. “She wanted to put up some art, and she knew I was an artist,” said Tibbles. “She had photographs of people playing tennis that she blew up to hang on the walls, but that just didn’t work for her. So she asked if I wanted to help her pick something else out.” Tibbles takes great pride in her artist’s eye, but she wondered if another alternative was possible: “I suggested that we get some local artists to hang their work up there as a show.” Bottelsen hastily agreed.“That was a Monday, and I made a few calls,” said Tibbles. “And I called [the painter] Dorothy Churchill-Johnson, who I knew had some new work, some fabulous paintings. And she said, yes, she could bring some of the paintings right over.” They were perfect, enough for a show, and all Bottelsen had to worry about was opening-night refreshments. That Friday evening, artists, art lovers, cheese and wine groupies, fans of Churchill-Johnson, and Tibbles’s many friends joined SBTC members at the pleasant though unlikely environs for a Santa Barbara photorealist to show new work.

include Phoebe Brunner, Hugh Margerum, Holly Mackay, Michael Irwin, Patricia Chidlaw, and Dug Uyesaka. The range of gender, genre, and art-world je ne sais quoi is wide, but soon even that wasn’t enough for Tibbles as gallerist.

“After two years, we had our first juried show called Rooster,” said Tibbles. “I thought I needed to have more outreach into the community, so we [do] these annual shows where artists enter and are judged by a jury.” She often draws more than 100 entries and shows as many artists — known and brand-new — as her guest judges deemed worthy. She made

it fun by insisting on specific themes — birds, angels, and the fetish-y show opening next week called Stiletto/Shoe — yet the crazy themes also have wide interpretation. The idea wasn’t new: the Westmont annual Angel, the Contemporary Arts Forum’s Valentines, and Santa Barbara City College’s Small Images shows already drew reclusive artists into public space, but the frequency of such was waning. Tibbles made it a mission: “It gave Santa Barbarans who never even thought of having an exhibition some space on a gallery wall.”

Tibbles is a native Santa Barbaran; she was born here. She lived “always on the Eastside,” and has lore about secret passages below the old Chinatown where she used to adventure with her friends. Her single mother, Lois, raised her and taught English at Santa Barbara High School, though the daughter was never keen on academics. Tibbles loved doing art from an early age and was so self-motivated that the beloved former S.B. Junior High teacher Janice Lorber gave her a key to the art room so she could come in on weekends and work on projects.

After high school, Tibbles went to Colorado and Hawai‘i but came back in the 1990s as a real artist. She explored a number of media before finding herself in Hawai‘i, where she began making three-dimensional collages — called assemblage — inspired by the reclusive artist Joseph Cornell, though Tibbles’s work is more narrative than that of the selftaught master from Flushing. Returning to town, Tibbles discovered a small gallery called Artworks in the early 1990s, in what would later be called the Funk Zone. She aggressively pursued the owners and was given a show, which served as a springboard for her career and led to being shown in places such as the Patricia Correia Gallery in Bergamot Station in Los Angeles. Fame came when a Los Angeles Times editor saw Tibbles’s work and he hired her to illustrate opinion pieces in

Birth of a Scene

“It was so good I asked Amber if we could do it again,” said Tibbles, as we sat chatting in the high-ceilinged airy clubhouse last spring. Dubbed 2nd Fridays Art — meant as a humorous alternative to downtown’s 1st Thursday gallery openings — Tibbles’s SBTC shows have been largely successful since their impromptu origin.“Twelve shows a year, and we’ve been doing it for seven years now,” she said. Possible directions opened up beyond anything the spontaneous beginning might have predicted. And Tibbles was determined to make it fresh. “I didn’t want it to turn into the same old thing. I didn’t want a systematic regurgitation of the same 15 artists.”

The last seven years haven’t been safe; Tibbles has mixed in new blood, though many of the usual suspects supplied DNA, too. A 2013 group show called About Face featured Neal Crosbie, a surrealist cartooning fixture since the late 1970s, and Patricia Houghton Clarke, an area photography artist. But Tibbles also included the late Barry Spacks — best known as a poet — to find something different and more diverse. Other innovative group shows include the Small Craft Advisory show that blended the resin-y sculptor Blakeney Sanford, the proto S.B. fashion photographer Mehosh Dziadzio, and Tom de Walt, a landscapist who once did backgrounds for sci-fi films.

Other great S.B. artists who showed in the big sports club room

the Sunday paper. She became swiftly adept at taking a concept like Gore/Bush debates and turning it into beautiful and clever 3D works, with titles such as “Blah Blah Blah.” Over the years she did 250 of the assemblages, which were famously shown in Pasadena, toured, and then promised to a museum.

Tibbles, who has platinum hair over concerned-looking eyes and a careful manner, still works in her studio and has grown an out-of-town gallery presence again, but the gallerist side of her has become her most public self. It’s not as if the city never had unorthodox art spaces — the Good Cup on the Mesa has revolving cycles of buyable paintings on its wall; the old Sojourner restaurant featured artists including a heavily attended show that had S.B. artists competing to make the annual Solstice poster.

“What I like about what [Susan] has done is that she’s reached far and wide with the artists, and that’s really been good for the members,” said Bottelsen, whose father was an SBTC cofounder (she says he literally discovered the place back when it was covered in weeds). She wholeheartedly supports the shows into the future. paul wellman

art-Gallery AlternAtive

The shows are not only novelties, though. Some have brought memorable and illuminating light into the town’s scene. Three years ago, Tibbles had a group of Los Angeles encaustic (also known as wax painting) artists to town; she supported Dziadzio’s photojournalistic chronicle of the hippie cult called Sunburst Farms (he was a member); and, perhaps not surprisingly, did an impressive collage roundup in 2010 (she included her own work but refuses to do a solo show there). Tibbles has shied away from more academic strains of contemporary art. “There’s not enough room in the gallery for real conceptual art,” she said. And she has encouraged the careers of city artists such as Jeanne Weber Dentzel, a mature scenic artist and muralist who got her first lifetime solo show in 2014 at the Tennis Club. And how does Tibbles pick the artists? Besides her great eye, she has a kind of mantra: “I don’t even have to like their work. But if they have a good work ethic, if they are in the studio working all the time — well, that’s very important to me. We don’t have weekend artists up on the walls.”

You could also argue that the times aren’t so bad anymore, that galleries, the marketplace, is making a comeback.You can even argue that things weren’t really bad for very long. The abstract painter Hugh Margerum, who has also lived here forever and has shown in many prestigious galleries as well as at SBTC, doesn’t think a scarcity of galleries is the issue.“There are probably just as many places to show as there ever were,” he said.“What’s best about the Tennis Club is that it reaches new audiences. But there’s another reason, too. If the art scene here is ever going to thrive, we need places where artists can gather, get together, and see each other’s work.”

Tibbles agrees, though at times she’s beside herself with the complicated logistics of putting on these shows. (“She hasn’t missed once in seven years,” said Bottelsen.) “Sometimes I just don’t know why I do it,” she told me.“I really don’t.”

Weeks later, I asked if she was still unclear about her own motives.“Yeah, I thought about it,” she said.“I got together with two artists, women; we had such a good time. We talked for an hour and a half. Whether I ultimately work with them or not, it was still great. It keeps you sharp. Being exposed to other n artists keeps you sharp.”

CHAMPAGNE? Julie Granata (left) and Paige Lindsey White (right) get an earful from Mary-Pat Green as the know-it-all servant Saunders in Fallen Angels.

Fallen angels Presented by Ensemble Theatre Company.

At the New Vic, Saturday, June 11. Shows through June 26.

W

hen angels fall, do they then become devils? This is the big question at the dark heart of Noël Coward’s deceptively bright comedy Fallen Angels, which originally opened in London in 1925 and is getting a terrific production this month by Ensemble Theatre Company. Best friends Julia Sterroll (Paige Lindsey White) and Jane Banbury (Julie Granata) certainly behave devilishly enough, at least at times, to justify that conclusion. These proud rebels strain against the confines of Julia’s posh London flat like a pair of restless tigers. Their marriages have become twin cages of bourgeois respectability without a scrap of bloody excitement to be seen anywhere. Perhaps that’s why they are both so receptive to a pair of mysterious booty calls from the same ex-lover, Maurice Duclos (J. Paul Boehmer).

In another time or place, there might be more of a fuss made over the way that Maurice just happens to contact both women at the same time. Here it’s merely the trigger for playwright Coward’s vivid expression of all the pent-up sexual tension a pair of sophisticated young wives can muster.

Director Andrew Barnicle has elicited six sterling performances from this wonderful cast. Matthew Floyd Miller delivers some devastating comic reversals as Willy Banbury, husband to Jane, and Joseph Fuqua is consistently hilarious as the absurd Fred Sterroll. Fuqua gives the kind of performance that gets enormous laughs from something as simple as crossing his legs at the exact right moment. As the singing, piano-playing, and worldly wise servant Saunders, Mary-Pat Green very nearly steals the show on several occasions with her extraordinary comic turns.

At its core, however, the play’s primary subject is the volatile relationship between Jane and Julia. How can these two women, close friends since childhood, keep shared secrets intact when they are simultaneously engaged in a fierce battle for the attention of the same man? A mutual state of frenzied anticipation toward the pending arrival of Maurice puts Jane and Julia into a spiral of attraction and repulsion for one another. Whether it’s in the thirsty buildup to their evening binge or during the champagneand martini-fueled blowout that precipitates Jane’s abrupt departure, these two gifted actresses deliver the play’s knife-sharp putdowns and comebacks with precision and gusto. Coward knew a thing or two about the impact of alcohol on an evening, and the subtlety of his handling of this comic commonplace is one of the show’s unexpected pleasures.

Farce typically deploys mistaken identities and the inadvertent discovery of characters in compromising positions as directional signs pointing toward the next stage in the plot. Fallen Angels has plenty of both, but the emphasis is less on the turnabouts and more on the unrelenting tension that exists among these misbegotten marrieds. Boehmer shows great skill in pulling off the role of Maurice, a part that clearly requires tremendous confidence to deliver successfully. Although the clichéd idea that the French have all the sexual fun is an ancient one, as Maurice, Boehmer manages to make it plausible. Whether or not that’s a good thing is up to the individual. We can’t all be angels, but does that make us devils?

top-FLoor rock ALL ABOARD: Johnny Irion (right) leads his band U.S. Elevator as an inclusive family, with surprise supporters known to join in to jam on a moment’s notice.

L

ast year, S.B.’s Johnny Irion launched his U.S. Elevator project to craft something relatively rare in this day and age: a consummate rock ’n’ roll album. With a super strong set of songs and a faithfully analog production process, the eponymous debut was a mission accomplished, with Rolling Stone and Mojo accolades to boot. With a Lobero Theatre show lined up Saturday, June 18, at 8 p.m. with Berkley Hart opening, and more gigs to come, the people of S.B. have caught on to U.S. Elevator’s special qualities, lifting its music to ever-higher vantage points.

Self-assured though the music is, its reception out in the world of listenership was something of a doubtful premise at first. In a present-day market where streaming services are the status quo, an album so lovingly honed with such solid songs seemed almost an aberration, even a lost cause, what with many other artists privileging followers and likes far more than the elusively well-crafted album.

“As an artist and having a label, I think the album [format] is dying … and rock ’n’ roll has become fucking Wall Street,” said Irion, who runs a record label with his wife, Sarah Lee Guthrie, and frequently visits Warbler Records & Goods. The realization of the usual folk singer’s rock album dream was a way of keeping the fire lit and preserving a sense of classic, enduring songs. “To my extent, good songwriting is: Is this something I could sit in a room and play with Willie Nelson and Pete Seeger? Is this something you can hang your hat on? I’m more concerned about crafting the songs than my Twitter feed, but maybe I should be more concerned about my Twitter feed,” he said.

But his statement exemplifies, in a way, what makes U.S. Elevator stand out, in their preferring to emphasize quality song cultivation over curating a quantity of digital dedicators. The band is very much making rock for the people in an organic fashion, both in its co-op style lineup and in its personable gigs; it’s not just Irion’s voice and songwriting that continues to draw comparisons to ’60s greats. There is an outwardly genuine spirit to the band, and its lineup is a somewhat openended family, with members embarking on

and off the Elevator on the various floors of its journey; it is, like its founder, easygoing, openhearted, fluid. “U.S. Elevator is a vibe,” Irion said.

And it’s by word-of-mouth and personable connections that the vibes have thrived locally. Steadily but surely, the album is finding a home in the town that birthed it, with U.S. Elevator’s songs on Montecito life and

by Richie DeMaria Californian blues landing the group residencies at venues such as Seven Bar and Kitchen and attracting supporters from across town, including a spontaneous jam with members of Depeche Mode, who, unbeknownst to Irion, were in attendance at a recent secret gig. Irion expressed his immense gratitude to all the other Santa Barbara souls who have helped the band along.“We’re extremely lucky, and I’m very grateful to all the people who’ve supported it,” Irion said. He feels S.B. has an especially great and supportive feel, which “could be an incredible breeding ground for a lot more artists.”

What’s more, Irion and Guthrie have found themselves using their music to support bigger causes, with both singing “This Land Is Your Land” (penned by Guthrie’s grandfather) at Bernie Sanders’s SBCC rally on May 28.“I am his folk singer. I really believe he started something, and even if he doesn’t become president, he’s a leader. When you look at people who have made history as leaders, they’re not usually presidents. This country is going to move because the people want it to move,” said Guthrie, who is also a part of the U.S. Elevator collective. In this context, the ’60s-tinged revolutionary rock aspects of U.S. Elevator’s music are suddenly very prescient, and their rock ideals, both in form and practice, feel cyclically relevant again.

So even amid an uncertain music-business market and an uncertainly shifting national conscience, the strength of U.S. Elevator’s rock has continued to solidify, and the support continues to grow.

Sings Like Hell presents U.S. Elevator and Berkley Hart Saturday, June 18, at 8 p.m. at the Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St.).

Though very it once was. Through it all, McMurtry’s doing all right: different, the two both view America through a lens steadfast, oak-like, a solemn but good-humored and darkly; they are witnesses of real struggle in a land of compassionate observer of passing time. increasingly hard-fought opportunities. I spoke with them separately about their newest works, American darkness, and finding solace in the storm.

State of the Union and the Self

James McMurtry Described by a billboard in his hometown of Austin, Texas, as “the world’s most disinterested man,” the brilliant James McMurtry is known for his bleakly dispassionate observations of American working-class suffering and heartache. With songs documenting decaying fishing industries and veterans’ shattered lives, McMurtry is perhaps one of the best poets of plight since Bob Dylan, with songwriting chops and excellent guitar skills to match his sharp wit.

McMurtry takes a fairly no-nonsense approach to writing and touring alike. Touring is work —work to raise money once earned from album sales that nowchanging business structures have reversed.“Certainly, I’m too old to retrain. This is the best job I’m going to get,” he said.

James McMurty In song, lyrics fall along to the meter and fit within the cadence, beginning with a structure and a story following suit. He often writes from a humbled and nonjudgmental distance, letting his characters speak their truths without ever being too preachy or heavyhanded.“It’s dangerous if you try to get your own point across. You’re likely to write a sermon that way,” he said.

Not a grandstander, McMurtry’s instead a documentarian, remarking on loss and livelihood in an era of American unease and instability. He won some acclaim, particularly in the northeast, with Bush-era songs such as “We Can’t Make It Here Anymore” that trace their lyrical roots to the mid-’90s disillusionment (e.g., the rage of the Oklahoma City bombing). He sees much of today’s pent-up angers as the effects of longstanding stresses.“I’ve been driving along for so long, seen all the bumper stickers out in the middle of nowhere, and that

Sarah Jarosz

Sarah Jarosz Sarah Jarosz, a young Americana singer/songwriter from Wimberly, Texas, near Austin, often observes through a particularly personal lens. On the song “Jacqueline,” from her new album, Undercurrent, Jarosz reflects upon the life and spirit of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as a means of contemplating her own; Jarosz has spent many an hour circling around Jackie’s namesake reservoir in Central Park.“I was so inspired by my time spent walking around the reservoir and thinking about her and the sadness that she endured in her life, and meditating on that,” she said. “When you look at New York on a map, the reservoir stands out. It’s shaped like the human heart in a way. It seems like this calm, steady, beating center of a crazy city.”

The songs on Undercurrent come from this place of stability in shifting emotional tides, a strength and solace amid separating forces. Jarosz wrote the majority of the tunes in the aftermath of a breakup and found her center while occupying a place of melancholic solitude in her new cityscape. Besides marking the closure of a relationship, the album also finds Jarosz at a place of expansion, coming into her own as a songwriter —this is her first all-originals record—and as a musician, having recently graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music.

She hopes to inspire a sense of hope in spite of the melancholy mood swings of life. This time of life has forced her to “occupy the aloneness and coming undone, but try to find the good things in that, too,” Jarosz said. She’s found “more of a hopeful take on it, that even when the world is terrible and things seem hard, you can try to push through.”

ON THEIR OWN TERMS: Lompoc’s Jacob Cole and Boston’s Nate Leavitt, who both will grace a variety of festive venues and watering holes this month, have a bit in common. The two will share a stage at the Deer Lodge on Friday, June 17 (8pm, 2261 Maricopa Hwy., Ojai), and will both play at separate shows in the following days—Leavitt at Standing Sun Winery with Kathleen Sieck and The Paradise Road on Saturday, June 18 (7pm, 92 Second St., Unit D, Buellton), and Cole at the Lompoc Flower Festival the following Saturday, June 25 (800 W. Ocean Ave., Lompoc). Besides gravitating toward environs born of barrels, bottles, or bouquets, the two, more importantly, will each liven up these libation locales with a newfound sense of independence, parting from previous lineups and previous pasts to stand beneath sunny spotlights of their own.

Many (but not enough) may know Cole from Certain Sparks Music in Lompoc, and from his previous band, the family affair of St. Anne’s Place, in which he played with his brother and cousin. For those not yet fortunate to have heard him, Cole and affiliated acts have been quietly and almost discreetly crafting some of the best indie rock in Southern California, away from the somewhat more publicized S.B. scenes. Cole’s guitar playing is sparsely noted but effusively emotive, simple but powerful.

Though his playing found a home in a group setting, the last few years delivered immense challenges and personal transGUITAR KING: Lompoc’s Jacob Cole, a k a King formations, and after a Cole, says he feels much more grounded with a guitar in hand. divorce and a mutual band dissolve, Cole set sail on a solo career. With marriage and a band both dead-ending, the struggles allowed him to weld a new sense of self and purpose. “There was a lot of growth and heartache and dealing with reality and accepting [my] place in the world, but also not being afraid to dream a little bit,” he said.

In his solo efforts, the singer/guitarist is shedding old anxieties that held him back and finding ways to connect with others. Describing himself as a very private person from growing up homeschooled, claiming a stake in his own music has allowed him a greater connection to his truth and, in turn, to others’. “When you connect with yourself and you’re true to what you’re going through, that’s when you connect with others. It’s allowing myself the comfortability to be myself,” he said.“I used to just kind of want to hide away from the world, but now that I’m older, I enjoy being around the rest of the world instead of trying to pretend I’m not a part of it.” Cole’s efforts will soon meet the world this summer, with both an EP and album in the works.

Leavitt, likewise, finds himself connecting with more and more people since stepping up to the frontman position. Having played lead guitar for bands like The Blizzard of 78, OldJack, and Parlour Bells, he decided two years ago to break his previous mold and come into his own. His most recent work, the Someone Send a Signal EP, sees Leavitt rise out of the ashes of broken relationships and troubled scenarios. Songs like “I Can Breathe Again” are about reclaiming a life seemingly undone by an ended partnership. “At the time I was not really sure of what I am or who or what I want, and I thought of when somebody told me once, if you haven’t died from the bad stuff that happened to you, you can always get back up and breathe again,” he said of the song.

Citing 1980s power ballads as an influence as much as he cites the altcountry rock of bands like Wilco, Leavitt wears his emotions with bravado.

He says growing up with the seasons of New England has allowed him a peaceful attitude toward departures and reconciliations.“There’s a constant moodiness and unpredictability that rubs off onto my personality, but the beauty of having different seasons is the constant change or sort of death and a lot of things beginning and ending; time and again, you begin again,” n he said.

A Roundup of Televisual Thrills

O

MOvie Guide

nly ancient, cable-unfriendly, New Media–resistant folk dread the doldrums of what used to be called rerun season — you know … summer?

Nowadays we have hope and Netflix and a more delightful year-round production period brought to you by content producers instead of studios. Sure, you could spend the warm months wallowing in video leftovers, bingeing on the joys of the “regular” season past. You meant to watch The Last Man on Earth all year, and there it sits on your DVR. But, even better, new shows both fresh and familiar beckon from your TV, computer screen, and smartphone. Who even has time for the great outdoors? Since when does dodging the Zika virus seem more promising than an all-black-cast remake of a big John Candy movie?

Since never.

Returning shows are plentiful, but only a couple seem mandatory. The first is the crazy success story of Orange Is the New Black (Netflix, June 17) in its fourth season, bringing the epic complexity and character range of Game of Thrones to the constricted genre of white-heat-behind-bars, girl-prison films. Like The Americans, which seems to be softening in front of our eyes, OITNB manages to routinely take us to catastrophe’s edge and stop just before show canceling seemed inevitable. The best return to TV, however, and one of the most intensely crafted programs in TV history, is Mr. Robot (USA, July 13), a show about an idealistic and corrupt hacker. It’s intelligent, beautifully shot, riddled with profound mysteries, and frightening on a level more psyche-disturbing than nerve-tingling. Watching it religiously, I’m still not convinced that it isn’t an extensive delusion.

Bewildering new stuff is coming, too, as television outlets battle for your eyes. On broadcast television, which seems to have stepped up its risqué games, we have fresh horrors such as American Gothic (CBS, June 22), yet another abuse of the Grant Wood painting title.

This one includes Virginia Madsen and the youngest of the Bateman boys, Gabriel. BrainDead (CBS, June 13), from the creators of the The Good Wife, brings Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Tony Shalhoub together in a psychotic version of Veep. Freeform, formerly ABC Family, enters the jokey horror cycle with Dead of Summer (June 28), featuring teens alone in a spooky camp called Stillwater. What could go wrong?

DOMO ARIGATO: USA’s Mr. Robot returns, along with a plethora of new shows, this summer.

Animal Kingdom (TNT, June 14) is the movie-to-TV adaptation of the summer. Ellen Barkin stars in the thrilling existential role Jacki Weaver created on the 2010 big-screen Australian film transplanted to beachside U.S.A., the story of a cold-blooded mother hell-bent on protecting her sociopath sons. The movie was great; let’s hope the show expands the concept like the TV Fargo did for the Coens’ film. The always styledriven AMC folks are busy adapting, too; in this case it’s Preacher (AMC, already running), taken from the bloody Steve Dillon Vertigo comic book starring the great Dominic Cooper as a man of God possessed by a demon. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg produced this hipster Southwest blood fest.

Just relax—there is a lighter side to summer months ahead, and the most promising debut is The Get Down, a hip-hop, punk-rock-disco origin story coming from the Baz Luhrmann (Netflix, Aug. 12), and nobody does overlavish like Luhrmann. The rather infamous telenovela La reina del sur is being remade as, you guessed it, Queen of the South (USA, June 23) with the electric Alice Braga stepping in for the infinitely more famous Kate del Castillo — famous if you speak Spanish, that is. (Castillo played a pivotal role in the rounding up of El Chapo, who was a fan of the original show, too.)

Netflix and Cameron Crowe are paying overdue tribute to the life of rock and roll’s slaves. Roadies stars two of the greatest women working the pulp end of cinema, Imogen Poots (Green Room) and Carla Gugino (Sin City, San Andreas.)

Most Intriguing awards go to three debuts: Stranger Things, a Netflix creeper feature with Wynona Ryder, among others. Little info has been offered. Uncle Buck, the aforementioned all-African-American remake of John Candy’s tour de farce. And last but likely best, Vice Principals, an HBO show starring Danny McBride and Walton Goggins as the profane lords of discipline in a high school where getting high is paramount. It’s a maraschino cherry on a rich summer parfait, and I’ll be there when not sunk down in Retro TV’s 1980s Doctor Who episodes, rerunning my way to ecstasy.

O Sunset Song

(135 mins.; R) R

Veteran British director Terence Davies may have painted his masterpiece a bit early, with 1988’s stunning, song-driven Distant Voices, Still Lives, but he has since built upon a solid, artistically rich filmography. Last year’s Sunset Song is another bold, quietly powerful, and visually rapturous entry. Adapting Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s novel about a strong female character named Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn) in Scottish farmland in the early 20th century, Davies has a crafted a compelling, compact epic in which flawed male characters and wiser female figures swim in a narrative of abuses, hope, hale, and harsh traditions andthe and mythic, timeless realm of song. (JW) Sun.-Wed., June 19-22, Riviera

nOW SHOWing Alice Through the Looking Glass (113 mins., PG) The visual production is impressive, negotiating between beautiful and fussy.

And it’s only occasionally boring. 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)

The Angry Birds Movie (97 mins., PG) This is not the next Lego Movie. The first half is a poorly orchestrated setup that takes anger-issues-challenged Red from outcast to hero fighting the invasion of Bird Island by green-egg-stealing pigs.

The second half is slapstick. The critters better known from the world of smartphone game playing. They, and we, should have stayed there. (DJP) Fiesta 5 (2D)

The Conjuring 2 (133 mins., R) James Wan’s sequel is impressive in unexpected ways. It’s epic and long, and it’s got great rock songs, too. This time Ed and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) travel to the U.K. and get caught up in the politics of official skepticism, even after they watch girls levitate, furniture slide, and kids talking with a host of male demons in their mouths. Parts of the film are corny, but Wan is keeping faith in his pursuit of bloodless horror.

OThe Jungle Book

(105 mins.; PG)

Movies always ought to be this good.

The special effects astound, 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. (DJP) Metro 4 (2D)

Me Before You (110 mins., PG-13)

In this shamelessly romantic but somehow affecting British romantic yarn, adapted by Jojo Moyes from her novel, plucky, rainbow-wardrobed twentysomething (an ebullient Emilia Clark) takes a gig as aide to an affluent quadriplegic man (Sam Claflin, with chiseled good looks and cynical-turned-endearing charm). She also takes on a rollercoaster narrative, with love, castles (really), and fatalistic end games in the offing. A melodrama that mostly dodges the genre’s more groansome shallows, the flick is a fine tear-duct-cleansing agent. (JW) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

O The Lobster

(118 mins., R)

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. It’s sometimes wickedly funny, and sometimes just plain wicked.

(JW) Paseo Nuevo

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. 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. Stillman knows exactly when to be comic and how to expose the dread that haunts a drawing room. (DJP) Riviera Maggie’s Plan (98 mins., R) A young woman named Maggie (Greta Gerwig) falls in love with a married man, John (Ethan Hawke), destabilizing

Something smarmy underlies this supposed thriller. It wants you to believe this is a more amazing version of Mission Impossible. But the movie is far too smug and flabby. It’s all spectacle without a point— just another Hollywood franchise. (DJP) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

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. This is Ovid’s Metamorphoses seen through a prism of kiddie exploitation, but it’s also pure junk nostalgia for millennials. (DJP)

X-Men: Apocalypse (144 mins., PG-13) Since Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel has 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. (DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of june 16 else get shrewd enough not to repeat past mistakes in a new intimacy. (5) You will have an abundance of good ideas about how to install the theme of smart fun at the heart of your strongest alliances.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The coming months will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean you should push people around and get into lots of fights. Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty. You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready, and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree “Because I said so.” Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Courttia Newland quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you go about finding the thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?” In response to this riddle, Newland riffs on what it means to him: “Even more important than the journey itself, is the venture into the unknowable. The ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite knowing where you are going.”

I nominate these to be your words to live by in the coming days, Cancerian. Have openhearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and impossible secrets!

I’m confident you will track them down — especially if you’re willing to be lost.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Everything you do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow. It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck, and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion … to relax the tweaks … to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary. You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose. If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your homework is to write a story about the life you’re going to live between now and next April. The length of this predictive tale should be at least three pages, although it’s fine if you produce more. Here are some meditations to lubricate the flow of your imagination. (1) What three questions would you love to have answered during the next 42 weeks?

(2) Of the numerous adventures that might be fun to explore, which are the two that would be most consistently energizing? (3) What is the one thing you’d most like to change about your attitude or revamp about your life? (4) What new privilege will you have earned by April 2017?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My long-term predictions for the next 15 months are a blend of hopeful optimism and a reasonable interpretation of the astrological omens.

Here we go: (1) You will have an excellent chance to smooth and soothe the rough spots in your romantic karma. (2) You will outgrow any addiction you might have to frustrating connections. (3) Unrequited love will either be requited or else you’ll become bored with the futile chase and move on. (4) You’ll be challenged to either refresh and reinvent an existing intimacy or Homework: If you could change your astrological sign, what would you change it to and why?

as a zesty new nickname, for example. I suggest you stay away from clichés like Ace or Vixen or Sharpie, as well as off-putting ironic monikers like Poker Face and Stonewall. Instead, gravitate toward lively choices like Dazzler, FluxLuster, Hoochie-Coochie, or FreeBorn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the next 15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years. Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before. I’m not talking about the grubby selfpromotion that typically passes for ambition, however.

Arrogant self-importance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch. I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish. Get started!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the next 15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor. If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts.

The same is true if you have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life. Be ever-alert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck, and slop. Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to an old Chinese proverb, if you want to get rich, you must have a nickname. My meditations on your future suggest that this curious formula may have some validity. The next 15 months will be a favorable time to attend to the groundwork that will ultimately increase your wealth.

And your luck in doing this work is likely to be oddly good if you add a frisky tweak to your identity — such

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings?

I hope so. If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough. Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in questionable behavior. That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse

to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be the boss of yourself? What practices can you engage in on a daily basis that will build your potency and authority and clout? How can you gain access to more of the helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourself every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to find or create your ultimate power spot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The prison population in the U.S. is over two million, more than twice what it was in 1990.

In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people in jail, Italy 52,000, and France 66,000. That’s the bad news.

The good news, at least for you and your tribe, is that a relatively small percentage of you will be incarcerated during the next 15 months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aquarians all over the world will specialize in liberation. Not only will you be extra ethical and skillful at evading traps, but you will also be adept at emancipating yourself from your own delusions and limitations. Congratulations in advance! It’s time to start singing some new freedom songs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The English word “catharsis” is derived from the ancient Greek katharsis, which was a technical medical term that meant “purgation” or “purification,” as in flushing out the bowels. Aristotle converted katharsis into a metaphor that described how a drama performed in the theater could “clean out” the emotions of spectators. These days, catharsis may refer to any event that precipitates a psycho-spiritual renewal by building up and then releasing tension.

I foresee at least one of these strenuous blessings in your immediate future.
