A Campaign for Art and the Community With its location in the heart of downtown, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art serves as a cultural hub for the community, bringing together a diverse spectrum of people and providing essential connections to the world of art and creativity. The reach and impact of the Museum can be seen throughout the region: • SBMA reaches more than 25,000 students and 75 schools.

• SBMA trains about 1,100 public-school teachers each year how to use art to teach across the curriculum • SBMA contributes to the continuous learning of approximately 16,000 adults in the community.

We have launched the most ambitious fundraising campaign in our history to create more connections to the Santa Barbara community.

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.

Imagine more…

LAW & DISORDER

Far from Garden Variety

Refugio’s 7,500-acre Sherpa Fire (pictured) is all but fully contained as infraredequipped crews mop up remaining hot spots through steep, craggy terrain. The target date for 100 percent containment is 7/7.

The cost of the fire has topped $16 million, and the cause remains under investigation.

Described as “a fantasy of remarkable set pieces of design and planting quite unlike any other garden,” Montecito’s 37-acre Lotusland (pictured) was named among the top 10 best gardens worldwide by Christopher Bailes, a retired Royal Horticultural Society curator and Chelsea Flower Show judge. Lotusland and Oregon’s Portland Japanese Garden were the only two North American gardens to receive the honor. Lotusland is currently fundraising to renovate its own Japanese garden, primarily to make it wheelchair accessible — which would open up pathways to the aloe and water gardens — and to enhance the koi pond. — Keith Hamm

County firefighters on the morning of 6/28 extinguished the 18-acre Cat Fire that started just after noon on 6/27 at 6085 Cat Canyon Road, the site of ERG’s Cat Canyon oil facility east of Santa Maria. Firefighters contained the blaze within two hours. No structures — including a nearby oil well — were threatened. The fire’s cause, said County Fire Captain Dave Zaniboni, was possibly a faulty power pole on the oil lease.

aul Welterlen was easy to like. He was charming and handsome, and for a while he made a lot of money for a lot of friends. At 61, he was living the Santa Barbara dream— a house on the Riviera, a private investment office nearby, frequent trips to New York and Nicaragua, and a socialite wife, who he doted on with Prada shoes and dinners at Lucky’s.

On leisurely weekends, he enjoyed cycling, and walking his dog.

Shortly after 3 p.m. on June 8, Welterlen stepped in front of a train at Butterfly Lane. His death was quickly ruled a suicide. For some, the news came as a total shock. For others, it was no surprise.

Last summer, Welterlen’s world came crashing down. After telling his investors he’d lost all their money with bad wagers on tricky stocks,

A 29,400-gallon oil spill, reported at approximately 5:33 a.m. on 6/23 in Ventura’s Hall Canyon area, was stopped before it reached the ocean. Oil leaked from a 10-inch pipeline owned by Crimson Pipeline down a canyon and into a dry creek for about a half mile.

Ventura County Fire responded alongside the state’s Office of Emergency Services hazmat crew, who continued the spill in a drainage basin. The cause of the Crimson Oil Spill is still under investigation.

Floyd, the one-year-old Chihuahua found dead on 5/23, had reportedly been abused for several weeks before his death. Adopted on 4/6 by his alleged killer, Kyle Barbre, 21, the two lived in an Armitos Avenue apartment in Goleta. Detectives said Floyd’s remains were found, and a necropsy provided the evidence to arrest Barbre on 6/22 at his workplace in Santa Barbara. His bail was reduced from $100,000 to $20,000 — the standard amount for an animal-cruelty charge — on 6/23. He bailed out the next day.

Highway 154 Collisions, 2006-2016

Jones (R) Backs Hartmann (D) in 3rd District Race

F *2016 figures as of 6/8

154 accidents increase

Responding to heightened fears about car crashes on State Route 154, officers with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) scheduled a press conference event on Thursday to raise awareness about traffic safety. CHP records reveal that in 2015 there were 12 percent more traffic collisions with 23 percent more injuries than the five-year average. The number of DUI collisions — nine — stayed the same. From 2006-2014, there were one to two fatalities each year, CHP records state. Last year, there were three.

Safety advocate Mary Beth Kerr explained the stats are hard to decipher, as a lag time exists between incident and report. For instance, two recent high-profile crashes — one fatality involving a donkey cart and the other a Chumash Casino bus — have not been tallied in recent reports, she said. “It’s confusing to people,” she added. Kerr started the Facebook group Santa Ynez Valley Lives Matter, which now functions in part as an avenue to call out speeding or reckless drivers — “Hey Dork in the aqua PT Cruiser,” one post read. Advocates also made signs that read, “Not One More on the 154.”

“It’s not just the 154,” Kerr added. “It’s parts of the 246. There’s lots of bad driving.” Last October, the CHP rece ived a grant to beef up its patrol time in the area.

In the first quarter, from October to February, state highway patrol officers used the funds to clock an additional 406 hours. They issued 515 citations, gave 74 verbal warnings, completed 26 field sobriety tests, made seven DUI arrests, and impounded eight vehicles between Santa Barbara and Buellton.

“The 154 is not unsafe,” CHP Officer Jonathan Gutierrez said. “It’s the drivers who are driving in an unsafe manner. Ninety-nine percent of the time it’s someone who is making a mistake.” Gutierrez added when people are texting and driving, they aren’t looking at the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, which, for a person driving 65 miles per hour, translates to the distance of a football field. — Kelsey Brugger

there, including “animal torture, S&M, and gore,” according to Radar Online. Asked if the reports published by Radar were authentic, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kelly Hoover confirmed, “Some of the documents appear to be copies of reports that were authored by Sheriff’s Office personnel as well as evidentiary photographs taken by Sheriff’s Office personnel.”

Gang member Christopher Manson III, 26, was arrested on the night of 6/25 after a fight involving a gun. At the intersection of State and Gutierrez streets, Manson allegedly used a 9mm handgun to pistol-whip a 34-year-old male victim and gang member.

our days after losing the June 7 primary election, Karen Jones, the most conservative 3rd District supervisorial candidate, called Joan Hartmann, her former Democratic rival, up to a stage, raised her arm, and offered her full support in the November election.

It was the day of Jones Fest, a well-known music festival in the Santa Ynez Valley held every year in Jones’s front yard. Two hundred people, young and old, trickled in and out, listening to all kinds of music. At Jones’s announcement, the crowd cheered, and the two women embraced and danced to Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.”

“She is an ethical person,” Jones said of Hartmann, who secured 42 percent of the vote, according to the latest tallies. “Joan and I disFAST FRIENDS: “I would value her advice,” said Joan agree on how to solve problems Hartmann (top) of Karen Jones (bottom). and what the role of government is, but Joan and I do not disagree perplexing.

million-plus. One investor lost her entire life savings. Another is now unsure how he’ll send his kids to college. “He ruined people financially,” said lead investigator Kristin Shamordola.

David Roth met Welterlen 38 years ago at La Jolla High School, and they had remained close friends since. Eight years ago, not long after Welterlen switched careers and began playing the stock market, he approached Roth with an offer to buy into a small hedge fund he was managing. Welterlen showed him the positive returns he was supposedly getting in business sectors like airlines and oil, which matched what big-name hedge funds were reporting at the time.

“Paul told me, ‘Somebody would have to shoot me in the head for me not to make you 10 percent,’ ” Roth remembered. “He did a really good job of making it sound legitimate.” So Roth gave Welterlen a sizeable chunk of his savings. “It’s hard to take a dispassionate approach to investing when a friend says it’s a sure thing,” he said. “Plus, I didn’t need anyone to vouch for Paul — he had just been at my house.”

For a while, Roth’s dividend checks showed up on time and in healthy amounts. Some investors received as much as 20 percent in returns. Welterlen encouraged Roth and the others to reinvest the money, which they often did. (This, it turned out, allowed Welterlen to continue skimming from the account without it dropping to zero.) Eventually, though, the checks start arriving lighter and later.

Then, they stopped altogether.

Roth, like the other investors, confronted Welterlen, who employed a series of excuses and delay tactics before going completely silent. In his letter of contrition last August to hedge fund members, Welterlen apologized for his poor performance and promised to make each of them whole again. He made an allusion to “cashing in” his life insurance policy, which at the time seemed like a dark and desperate joke, but now appears foreboding. Soon after, the group was giving statements to detectives.

Roth blames himself for his losses. He noticed a number of red flags early on but failed to act in time, trusting Welterlen would keep his best interests at heart. “I feel like an idiot,” he said, advising wouldbe investors: “If you have to convince yourself to believe someone, if you’re making yourself believe what they’re saying because you want it to be true, that’s on you.” As much anger as he felt toward Welterlen, Roth said, he never wanted or expected him to commit suicide.

Shamordola warned of the dangers that come with trusting a friend or family member with large sums of money based solely on promises and personal convictions. In Welterlen’s case, it appears his 10 or so investors — who, though financially unsophisticated, “were smart, educated people with master’s degrees and law

degrees”— failed to perform even basic due diligence to verify his guarantees.

If they had, they would have discovered that he declared personal bankruptcy in the late 1990s, that the state more recently suspended his businesses license for failing to file tax returns, and that the vast majority of their money was being deposited directly into Welterlen’s personal accounts, not a dedicated hedge fund as he had promised. Still, it’s not fair to blame the alleged victims for their losses, Shamordola said. “They made mistakes, true, but he is the criminal.” Welterlen’s attorneys declined to comment for this story.

Welterlen’s suicide was a tragedy in more ways than one, Shamordola went on — his private pain and shame must have been immense, and he leaves behind a grieving wife. Welterlen’s investors were also robbed of justice and, in all likelihood, any hope of recouping their money.

Toward the end as he struggled to pay investors their “dividends”—which, as is the hallmark of a Ponzi scheme, were actually fresh deposits from other investors —he fully drained the accounts, eventually pulling just $200 at a time to cover his own utility bills.

In one 10-month period at the height of the scheme, which appears to have dated back to 2008 and possibly even earlier, Welterlen collected $1.4 million and used just $100,000 for actual investments. The rest, said Deputy District Attorney Brian Cota, paid for his and his wife’s “lifestyle” — monthly credit card bills that ran to the tens of thousands of dollars, expensive jewelry, new cars, and so on. The couple also purchased a large piece of beachfront in Nicaragua, where they hoped to develop a luxury hotel. At the time of his death, Welterlen was actively soliciting partners for the project.

With Welterlen gone, the case is now closed, said Cota. In reporting this story, The Santa Barbara Independent spoke with seven investors, all of whom believe Welterlen’s widow was involved in, or at least aware of, his crimes. However, investigators “found no objective evidence that would prove at any level that she knew about it,” said Shamordola. Some of the investors, who requested anonymity, said they are exploring ways of obtaining the money Welterlen’s wife is collecting through his life insurance policy. All of the sources repeatedly praised Shamordola and Cota for their tireless diligence on the case.

Cota similarly advised against investing with one’s gut and heart. Take your time and do your research, he said. Ask around. Hire a lawyer. Demand original copies of account histories and financial statements. Use common sense. In short, Cota said, if you’re thinking about investing with a friend or family member, take the steps you would normally take if you didn’t know the person as well. “Trust, but n verify,” he said.

Santa Barbara County’s revised Winery Ordinance faced stiff opposition at a 6/22 Planning Commission meeting on its final draft environmental impact report. About 30 vintners, residents, and lawyers commented on the proposed changes. Besides the debate over tasting rooms and the technicalities that go along with them, some residents worried about an increase in visitors causing crashes on rural roads, particularly Ballard Canyon Road. The Planning Commission will take up the matter again on 8/3.

In a 6/24 report, the Civil Grand Jury found County Jail staff failed to consistently follow their own procedures for booking inmates.

The report called the medical prescreen

process insufficient and determined that no checklists or guidelines exist to ensure Corizon Health Inc. employees perform complete evaluations. Among the jury’s recommendations were a computerized medical record system, establishing procedures to be followed, and updating screening forms to reflect changes already being implemented.

Taxing Wacky Tobacky

At the same time California votes whether to legalize recreational marijuana — which, new polls show, is a distinct possibility — Santa Barbara residents will decide whether to slap a 20 percent tax on recreational and medical cannabis sold within the city. The City Council decided unanimously this Tuesday to include the Santa Barbara Marijuana Control Act on this November’s ballot that would require a simple majority to pass and annually generate an estimated $1.1 million-$2.2 million for the General Fund. “The purpose of the tax is expressly to generate revenue,” City Attorney Ariel Calonne said. “This is not a regulatory measure.”

City staff studied marijuana taxation systems in other California communities to come up with Santa Barbara’s model and determine how much money is likely to flow to the General Fund, which pays for basic services like police enforcement, road repair, and so on. The dollar amount may in reality be higher or lower, and the council may revisit the tax percentage down the road, Calonne said. “There is no magic to these numbers.” Looking around the rest of the state, 20 percent is on the high end — Sacramento taxes its dispensaries 4 percent; Oakland 5 percent; Santa Cruz 7 percent; and San Jose 10 percent. Santa Barbara’s would necessarily be steeper, councilmembers argued, in order to pay for the enforcement and monitoring costs it shoulders as the only city on the South Coast to allow medical marijuana dispensaries.

Councilmember Frank Hotchkiss worried the rate might be too high and drive sales underground. Calonne said the quality-control assurances that come with a legal, taxed product would likely counteract a bigger black market. Calonne also stated that increased costs would eat into sellers’ bottom lines, not be passed on to consumers in the form of higher purchase prices. Councilmember Randy Rowse successfully lobbied for a flat 20 percent figure, as opposed to city staff’s original recommendation of a lower 10 percent rate for medical marijuana. He said a staggered system would incentivize business owners to sell medical cannabis to avoid the more expensive rate. “We did stick our finger in the light socket,” Rowse said of allowing medical marijuana in Santa Barbara, whose treatment benefits, he claimed, were dubious at best.

If passed, California’s Adult Use of Marijuana Act would allow residents 21 and older to possess, transport, and use up to an ounce of marijuana for recreational purposes. The law would also impose cultivation taxes and a 15 percent excise tax.

Last year, the state passed the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, which set a March 1, 2016, deadline for local jurisdictions to create cultivation laws. Rushed by the clock, the City of Santa Barbara quickly approved an ordinance that permits qualified patients to grow 100 contiguous square feet of marijuana indoors or out— Tyler Hayden doors for personal medical use.

ENVIRONmENt The United States Forest Service and four Southern California hikers, including Santa Barbara’s Rich Fragosa and Ojai’s Alasdair Coyne, have settled their legal battle over access fees on forest lands, opening up free parking near trailheads in the Los Padres, Angeles, Cleveland, and San Bernardino national forests. The hikers’ lawsuit argued that the public ought to be able to park near a trailhead without having to purchase the federal agency’s Adventure Pass, a parking day-pass designed to generate maintenance income for developed campgrounds and picnic areas. With the settlement comes free

parking near dozens of trailheads, including Los Padres’ Piedra Blanca, off Highway 33. “This is a win — guaranteed free public access to the middle of the Sespe,” said Coyne.

The second phase of a three-part phaseout of lead ammunition in California starts July 1, when hunters using shotguns will be required to use non-lead shot when taking upland game birds (except for doves, quails, snipes, and any game birds taken at licensed game-bird clubs) and resident small-game mammals, fur-bearing mammals, nongame mammals, nongame birds, and any wildlife for depredation purposes. Last year, lead ammunition was banned from state wildlife preserves and ecological areas. Starting on July 1, 2019, non-lead ammunition will be required when taking any wildlife with a firearm anywhere in California. n

Elizabeth Majestic, Cottage’s vice president for Population Health

cottage Polls community

In the next eight weeks, more than 2,000 county residents will be getting a phone call from Cottage Health System asking a series of personal questions — how many times they’ve seen a doctor in the past year, whether they’re taking heroin or prescription drugs, how satisfied they are with their food choices, and how often they got together with friends or relatives in the last month.

The surveys are strictly confidential, said Elizabeth Majestic, Population Health czar for Cottage Health System, will take about 15 minutes to complete, and are designed to better reflect the health-care challenges faced by county residents, as well as their access to health-care providers. Majestic, Cottage’s first and only Population Health director, said she’s hoping the results illuminate Santa Barbara’s behavioral challenges, disease rates, access to care, and social determinants of health — income, ethnicity, and education — down to the neighborhood level.

Cottage hired consulting firm ICF Macro to make the calls, but Majestic and Cottage put together the questionnaire. Having worked with the Centers for Disease Control for years, she asked questions that will allow Cottage Health planners to compare their results with other counties throughout California and the nation. “We’re trying to provide actionable health info for our community and the health system,” she said. Majestic said Cottage will share the results with community nonprofits so they can better target their services. Likewise, she said Cottage will be starting a website, Cottage Health Data to Go. Some of the questions are pretty obvious. With the epidemic of heroin and prescription-drug abuse, there will be several questions on drug consumption.

Some questions are not so obvious, such as the ones about talking with friends and relatives. “These are questions by proxy about social isolation,” Majestic said. “People who live to be 105 tend to live lives with purpose and connection with others,” she said. That information would prove useful in referring such patients to the proper treatment program. “With people who are isolated, you want to get them out of their homes as much as possible,” she added.

Six Reasons Why Clinton Should Stomp The Donald

C

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

lear scientific evidence confirming that Donald Trump is an honest-to-goodness nut job may be found in Section 1.2.18 of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.

Therein, the chief diagnostic tool of the American Psychiatric Association describes the nine, nine (count ’em —nine), clinical symptoms that define narcissistic personality disorder; from “an exaggerated sense of self-importance” and the expectation “to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it” to “being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty, or the perfect mate,” The Donald rings the bell on every one.

You could look it up.

To be sure, a more or less healthy streak of narcissism is just table stakes for every politician in America. We speak here, however, of genuine-article mental illness, which the presumptive Republican presidential nominee seems prodigiously to display all day every day.

As a political matter, it’s no perfunctory factor, because it allows Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to pull off a nifty bit

of political jujitsu: Although her very flawed candidacy is essentially premised on campaigning for President Obama’s third term, she is succeeding so far in casting the race fundamentally as a referendum on Trump, not on herself.

That may be the biggest reason she opened up a 52-to-39 percent lead in a new Washington Post national poll and at press time is an overwhelming favorite among professional gamblers (check out paddy power.com on your Google machine) to win the White House on November 8. Here are some others: electoral college: As every school-

child knows, Democrats have won 18 states and the District of Columbia in every one of the last six elections, giving them a base of 242 Electoral Votes in the race to 270; by contrast, Republicans since 1992 have begun with a base of 13 states with a total of 102 EVs. Trump’s hair-on-fire act was just the thing for a wide-open Republican primary season packed with 16 rivals and a seething slice of the electorate dominated by choleric old white guys. But a general election, with its far more diverse universe of voters, is an entirely different production and, so far at least, The Donald has no second act.

the MsM wakes up: Trump walked all

over the mainstream media in the primary, when his candidacy often was treated more as cheap entertainment than a serious story with enormously high stakes. More recently, the national press corps has proved tougher and more skeptical, on stories from his lies about donating to veterans’ groups to his murky business affairs and his racist comments about a federal judge overseeing a class-action suit against him. he can’t consolidate his party:

George Will, the dean of D.C. conservative pundits, just renounced his GOP registration in protest of Trump, the latest sign of Republican intellectuals abandoning ship. Other elites keep pressing a rear-guard action to deny the reality TV star the nomination at their convention, while foreign policy neocons trend Hillary — hello, Brent Scowcroft — and some Christian evangelicals remain cranky about his suspect views on abortion rights. The sole bloc of the Republican coalition deeply loyal to him is the Tea Party. Oh, and white supremacists. what does truMp have to hide? The

GOP wannabe so far has refused to release his tax returns, the first candidate in mod-

ern memory to do so. Revelations contained in litigation against his Trump University offer one glimpse into his sleazy business practices, while New York Times investigative reporting about him cashing in on the bankruptcies of gambling casinos is another.

More to come. elizabeth warren is in his head:

The biggest rock star of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party relishes her attackdog role as she constantly savages the notoriously thin-skinned Trump on the stump and on Twitter: And he keeps rising to the bait, doing Clinton a favor by stooping to engage her surrogate.

The Massachusetts senator, noting Trump’s recent comments applauding his own cleverness is cashing in on the 2008 financial crisis, said this at a raucous rally with Clinton this week in toss-up Ohio: “What kind of a man does that? What kind of a man roots for people to lose their jobs, to lose their homes, to lose their life’s savings? I’ll tell you what kind of a man: a small, insecure, moneygrubber who fights for no one but himself. What kind of a man?

A nasty man who will never become president of the United States.” n Only 131 days until the election!

Ann Montgomery Brower, writer and artist, died at age 83 in her home in Goleta, California, on June 4, 2016. Ann was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on June 17, 1932, and grew up in Oxford, Ohio, where she attended Miami University. After graduation, she traveled to Paris, France, where she met her future husband, writer Brock Brower. They married in 1956 and lived in Princeton, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Norwich, Vermont, before moving to the Santa Barbara area, where Ann was able to watch her four California-based grandchildren surf, play baseball and piano and dance in the Nutcracker. In 2008 she self-published a memoir, Another Me, about her years in Paris. Brock died in 2014.

Ann is survived by her brother, Henry C. Montgomery III, and sister, Virginia Melin, as well as her five children — Montgomery Brower, Emily Auchard, Elizabeth White, Margaret Elkins and Alison Brower — and five grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at All Saints-by-the-Sea in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday, July 2, at 11 a.m.

Jane Lieberman Lorin, grandchildren Abbie, Alex, Elliot and Eric Lieberman, and Jenna and Mara Lorin, sister Marilyn Gray and numerous nieces, nephews and in-laws. His son John Keith Lieberman of Philadelphia preceded him in death.

Aaron invented the patented U-Seal-It Vending Machine, which distributed U-Seal-It plastic laminate and other flat products across North America in most of the national chains from 1958-2000. He was a true entrepreneur in possession of many patents, including his most recent, PhotoCard, a product distributed worldwide.

Aaron, a philosophy graduate of Penn State University, was “cool before cool was cool.” He loved good food, cars, politics, and photography, but most of all Aaron loved his family and friends, including his lifelong friends of over 60 years.

This was his signature style of art, crafted and refined in a fine-art career that spanned 5 decades. He participated in this S.B. Art Show for over 35 years.

James was born in 1941 in Los Angeles to an English mother and American Father. He was the youngest of 3 siblings. His loving sister, Sandra, passed earlier this year, and his elder brother, Bob, lives with his wife, Ann, in Southern CA. James is survived by his only son, Daniel, and his grandson, Oliver, who reside in Santa Barbara.

In his mid-twenties, James decided to follow his career passion to become a full-time artist.

At the heart of this passion was his cherished philosophy: “Live what you love and love what you live.” He attended the renowned Theodore Lukits Academy of Fine Art for 6 years and refined the disciplines of representational painting and sculpture. In 1971, he turned his talent to stone carving. He continued to work in that medium for about a decade. During that period, he was primarily represented by the Fine Arts Sculpture Gallery at the MGM

Hotel in Las Vegas. He went on to create an exceptional line of marine, figurative, and abstract sculptures, pioneering casting techniques in bronze and establishing the Siebert Art Studio.

James sold thousands of editions of his sculptures, and many of these grace private and public art collections worldwide, including those of presidents Reagan and Clinton, as well as many Hollywood elite.

In the late ’80s James turned his focus to painting. When he debuted his unique abstract style at the Masters Gallery in La Jolla, this solo exhibit sold out! Over the many years of his professional career, James’s paintings and sculptures have been represented by numerous galleries throughout the United States. He truly loved making art and worked at it diligently. He painted almost every day, creating an enormous body of work.

James lived life fully and deeply and embraced a genuine spiritual appreciation and understanding of life’s meaning and purpose. He will ever be lovingly remembered as a truly independent and “free spirit” with a beautiful child-like smile and kindness of heart. One of his most favorite lines was “I did it my way” from Sinatra’s song “My Way.” Thank you, dear James, for fearlessly choosing to live your life your way: uniquely, passionately, and dedicated to beauty, truth, freedom, and well-being!

edric James Robinson was born in Oakland, California, on November 11, 1940. He was a sickly baby who, the story goes, was kept alive when a great aunt fed him “potliquor,” juice from the greens she was stewing. The little guy had to fight to survive, and maybe that foretold his modus vivende for the next 75 years. Surely he also learned that that collaboration was a necessity and that a sense of humor was essential.

He often said that there was great value in the struggle, regardless of the outcome.

As a child growing up in Oakland, he experienced both American apartheid and the intellectual nourishment provided by black teachers and mentors who instilled in him a love of learning, of reading. He continued his education at Berkeley High School and then at UC Berkeley, where he studied anthropology. Outside the classroom, his political activities in pursuit of civil rights and opposition to U.S. foreign policy would lead to a one-semester suspension from the university.

He and others organized a campus demonstration against the attempted U.S. invasion of Cuba in 1961, and they were penalized for failing to give authorities 48 hours’ notice. His retort, an unsuccessful defense, was that the U.S. government had not given citizens 48 hours’ notice of the invasion.

This suggests the arrogance of a 20-yearold, and Cedric could be arrogant but, in my experience, only with those who presumed they were entitled. It was an arrogance born of his refusal to be cowed by the power holders, be they local police demanding to know what was in his briefcase or academics who considered the academy their rarified preserve.

Cedric would receive his PhD from Stanford, but only after a fight. He had the temerity to critique the “giants” of political science, many of whom were Stanford faculty. The Terms of Order, just republished after 30-plus years out of print, was based on that critique.

Almost immediately after we arrived in Santa Barbara in 1980, Cedric began to build ties outside the university. These included the creation of several historic timelines of the black community, speaking with Gray Panthers and others about the depredations of U.S. foreign policy in the Third World, and the creation of Third World News Review, first on radio and then television, to share those views with the community. He participated in antiwar activities and the formation of the Campaign for International Diplomacy, addressed newly inducted U.S. citizens, held board membership on the local ACLU, and opposed the building of a new jail here, a matter still up for debate.

To be sure, Cedric never suffered fools gladly, but he would engage most people with endless patience or at least until it became apparent they weren’t seriously interested in

to amuse him. I remember him waiting in ambush for me to ask the staff to “pass the film.” With a grin, he would always correct me with the same sentence: “We only pass gas, but we show movies.” We would laugh, and I would move on to my next awkward gallicism.

Yes, Cedric, I will truly regret our little moments of complicity when thoughts were more important than words. If I mourn your absence, I will always feel blessed to have been part of your trajectory, and I am honored to have been the friend of one whom I consider to be the most influential thinker of our times.

— Professor Gerard Pigeon

P THE LIFE EXAMINED: Cedric Robinson sought justice and to communicate its necessity during his long tenure as a political science and black studies professor at UCSB. progressive social change. On the other hand, he always advised students and people of color of the inherent risks in getting arrested, since getting in was always easier than getting out.

For all his public presence, he was a very private individual and cherished me and his daughter, Najda, and now his grandson, Jacob, unreservedly. Although he and I might have verbally tussled, his patience and love for Najda and Jacob was unbounded.

remember looking casually at my emails and then, with stupor, reading one from Elizabeth announcing the quiet passing of my friend, Cedric, my colleague of more than 36 years. The emblematic figure of our department, loved and respected by many, was no longer. I was terribly upset, but an upswell of memories suddenly submerged the tide of sorrow that a few moments earlier had engulfed me.

I remembered his smile and his piercing gaze. That inquiring gaze that so efficiently cracked the mirror of your soul, a gaze that had become a powerful weapon against hypocrites and sycophants, so prevalent in our environment. I remember experiencing his powerful handshake and incisive gaze when he first visited our campus. Both were

intimidating yet reassuring, and I quickly discovered they were the traits of a splendid mind serving a man possessed by passion.

A man dedicated to the idea of social justice in a moral world. Right away I became an unconditional Robinsonian, and together we applied ourselves to redressing as many evils as we could.

During an action when students demanded a more just and relevant university, I remember his eloquent speech in front of the Academic Senate, when he responded to those who claimed only Western Civilization should be taught to students, that “Western Civilization was neither.”

I also remember us driving to Los Angeles to testify in defense of a Chicano professor who had been unjustly denied a position on campus. As we entered the room, we saw that all the administrators had come to defend the university. I can still hear Cedric, with his famous side smile, whispering in my ear at the sight of such a spectacle, “Here goes our next promotions.” With contained laughs, it reminded us of the tale in which Brer Rabbit was judged by a court entirely staffed by Foxes.

We had pretty good times together, whether on campus or outside campus, taping Third World News Review. If our discussion was at times passionate, our argumentation always seemed complementary. On the show, my French accent and usage always seemed independent.com

···

eople may forget the things you create, and people may forget the things you say, but people never forget how you make them feel: This is how I came to know Cedric Robinson. To be in Cedric’s presence was to be in the presence of someone who truly saw you, saw your potential, and saw your passions, not solely from an ally’s position but from a position of sincere solidarity. He established a dialogue that enabled students and colleagues to challenge ourselves to be and do better, and we will never forget.

During a hunger strike at UCSB in 1989, some staff and faculty supported students who put their lives on the line to call attention to institutional racism — only a change in curriculum could stem its growth — and to the need for more diversity. The 15-day strike came after a year of inaction on a plan presented to the chancellor. Cedric joined the students’ fast for three days. Six days later, students at all UC campuses united in support. The Academic Senate agreed to vote. Just as the creation of Black and Chicano studies grew from the occupation of North Hall in 1968, so today’s Asian-American and NativeAmerican studies, MultiCultural Center, and general-ed ethnic studies requirements resulted from this work and protest and struggle. Each of these changes to the status quo came to strengthen the university’s future.

One of Cedric’s consistent lessons was to interrogate the work of the media. If one finds the media is less than honest, then become the media. If the representation of one’s story/ people is less than honest in Hollywood — write and perform your own history. In a letter, Cedric wrote that his earliest intentions were “to re-open a door to a special universe where justice reigned as historical practice; as a constant inspiration for present conduct; and as a realizable project. My key was to be race studies, but I have always supposed there were others, fashioned from the resistances which are inevitable companions to oppression.” Cedric’s scholarly work and his commitment to freedom prove that the world is better for our ability to change, as are we all.

Truth Strikes Out

TY COBB: When Santa Barbara sportswriter

scenes and dialog and otherwise stretching the truth,” according to Leerhsen. He lost assignments to publications that had factcheckers. That, Leerhsen was told by one successful writer of the time, “was because he produced fiction.”

I knew the group of 1960s writers Leehrsen is writing about. They met for lunch and were hardly “Bohemians” any more than small-town Santa Barbara was “Bohemian.”

Then there was the shotgun story. Stump claimed to own a shotgun Cobb’s mother used to kill Cobb’s father in a controversial 1905 shooting. After a collector acquired the gun, research showed that his mother had actually used a pistol.

Despite the many factual errors Cobb spotted in the first book, My Life in Baseball, it’s considered a fairly balanced view of Cobb, who never backed away from a fight back in his dead-ball era but took great offense at slurs that he sharpened his spikes into weapons.

Decades after Cobb’s death, Stump published two books, Cobb: The Life and Times of the Meanest Man Who Ever Played Baseball and Cobb: A Biography, that have been discredited as sensationalized and largely fictional.

Meanest Man and other Stump books became the basis for the 1994 film Cobb, directed by Santa Barbaran Ron Shelton, who specialized in sports movies (Tin Cup,

Al Stump wrote about legendary baseball great Ty Cobb, truth struck out, page by page.

His sports pieces were so questionable that major publications such as Readers Digest, the Saturday Evening Post, and other magazines that had fact-checkers refused to run his stuff.

Stump’s books about Hall of Famer Cobb, “The Georgia Peach,” produced fence-rattling line-drive charges of lies, exaggerations, and dubious tall tales aimed at hyping up his book sales.

Stump portrayed Georgia-born Cobb as a raving, brawling racist who sharpened his spikes, all the better to strike fear in the hearts of players at the other end of his slides.

Cobb, arguably baseball’s greatest hitter, died in Atlanta at 74 in 1961, months after demanding but not getting corrections to Stump’s manuscript of Ty Cobb: My Life in Baseball, according to a revisionist 2015 book I came across recently by Charles Leerhsen, Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty.

“Stump took himself seriously as a writer and saw himself as a legitimate member of the vaguely Bohemian literary colony that worked and drank and lived at that time in Santa Barbara,” Leerhsen wrote.

“He often dropped the name of the wellknown crime writer Ross Macdonald, the colony’s most prominent citizen.”

But Stump “had a reputation for inventing

Bull Durham, White Men Can’t Jump.)

In the movie, Leerhsen writes, “Tommy Lee Jones, playing the sickly old Cobb, attempts to rape a cigarette girl at a Nevada casino but fails to because of impotence.”

When he asked Shelton what the scene was based on, Shelton replied, “That actually was not in [Stump’s] screenplay … That is something that Al and I came up with during the shoot.

It felt like the sort of thing that Cobb might do.”

When I emailed Shelton about this, he replied, “I did not make this up, as Leerhsen implied.” The incident was based on a story Stump told him, Shelton said.

Leerhsen quotes Shelton as saying,“It is well known that Ty Cobb may have killed as many as three people.” Pressed for details, Shelton told the author,“All this is well known.”

“What I said was accurate,” Shelton emailed me. “In the research we did nearly 25 years ago, there were numerous accounts

of Cobb’s rage that may have led to killings.

“I was reporting on what was the accepted history at the time, and my research is in deep files by now … In a way the movie is more about Al Stump.”

By the 1970s, the baseball memorabilia market was becoming lucrative, and Stump went from selling supposedly Cobb-related items to outright forgery, Leerhsen writes.“Why not? He’d already created a fake Ty Cobb.” Stump, he charged, typed out between 50 and 100 letters using Cobb’s typewriter and trademark green ink.

Experts later branded them as forgeries. One told Leerhsen that most Cobb autographs that collectors come across were actually written by Stump.

Stump died at 79 in Newport Beach in 1995, but the Cobb legend lives on.

Women’s Rights Prevail

T

exas women prevailed on Monday. Five Supreme Court justices ruled in favor of protecting access to safe, legal abortion by striking down two unconstitutional Texas restrictions that threatened to shut down all but nine health centers in the entire state that could provide abortion for millions of Texas women. As a result of today’s decision, these medically unnecessary and targeted restrictions on abortion providers will no longer limit women’s access to safe and legal abortion in Texas.

More good news is that this action will reach far beyond Texas. In its opinion, the court found these barriers created significant burdens through delays, increased travel time, and overnight stays. A woman’s ability to access a safe and legal abortion should not depend on the zip code she lives in. Texas isn’t the only state with these types of unnecessary restrictions.

While no other state laws will be impacted immediately following the decision, the Supreme Court has now set a precedent to protect women in states where lawmakers strive to insert politics into women’s reproductive decisions.

Those of us who respect a woman’s ability to make her own pregnancy decisions have reason to be hopeful today, but we also know that we have so much more work to do. Enough is enough. We must remain vigilant in our efforts to preserve this essential freedom.

That’s why Planned Parenthood is committed to championing women’s reproductive rights, and to providing information and high-quality, compassionate health care to women, men, and teens living in our communities. No matter what.

Congress Shoots and Leaves

epublicans are partially right on guns, and that’s what makes them so wrong.

The right wing want everyone to believe that limiting guns is not the answer to gun violence, even when it’s mass murder with a military assault weapon. Trapped by the NRA, the GOP will point to terrorism from abroad or mental health issues, anything and everything but the weapon itself. And all the while they hide behind the 2nd Amendment.

But when Senate Republicans recently voted down four bills to change the law around the availability of guns, it showed they are right: It’s not the firearm that causes murder and mayhem. It’s policy.

In our history, lawmakers have used bills to make significant changes that range from social security and Medicare to civil rights and the Affordable Care Act. Those bills were driven by a policy to fix and/or eliminate the problem. Social security and Medicare helped many seniors meet their financial needs. Policy helped give equality to persons of color. And legislation provided insurance to many who could not afford health care.

There is no mystery. Policy can and will save lives. When Republicans’ self-interest makes them resist policy change that is so vital to protect Americans, then the weapon or the shooter is not the prime mover for a mass killing. It is those who choose to reject policy that would make a difference.

On June 12, 2016, just as on so many other days and nights, it was not just the shooter at work. It was every member of Congress who rejected good policy. They had their finger on the trigger, as well.

he Santa Barbara Bowl is a local treasure; there’s nothing else like it in town. It’s a veritable Greek Theatre, a miniature Hollywood Bowl, tucked behind a quiet residential street— street — an entire, cavernous musical universe that opens up where North Milpas and East Anapamu streets meet.

In the past, many formidable acts have maximized the nearly 4,600-seater to deliver some amazing, memorable concerts. Joni Mitchell recorded her 1980 double album Shadows and Light at the Bowl; Tears for Fears videotaped a 1990 concert there. When Wilco played the venue in August 2007 during its Sky Blue Sky tour, frontman Jeff Tweedy, on the cusp of turning 40, revealed to his rapt Santa Barbara audience — in a cozy nocturnal scene highlighted by purple lighting— lighting that this was his last night in his thirties. Everyone from Depeche Mode to Pat Metheny to Wolfmother has delivered rousing sets at this outdoor amphitheater, which has been nestled in a stonewalled shell on a pinetree-covered hillside since 1936.

Despite its regard in Santa Barbara, the Bowl is still in need of discovery by out-of-towners. When Adam Sandler swung through in May to unspool a stand-up lineup of his broad comedy bros, actor Rob Schneider confessed to The Santa Barbara Independent that (despite being a longtime Angeleno) he had never actually visited the Bowl.

That’s not unusual according to Moss Jacobs, longtime Bowl booker, and Rick Boller, Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation (SBBF) executive director, both of whom believe such myopia will soon fade fast thanks to the venue’s realignment with music presenters Goldenvoice, these days under the aegis of formiformi dable parent company AEG Live.

Last January, The Independent reported how Jacobs, who worked for Nederlander ConCon certs for nearly 15 years until November 2015, was returning to GoldGold envoice, with whom he was employed during the late 1990s and early Rick Boller 2000s. The 2016 season is Goldenvoice’s first since being reinstated as the Bowl’s programming partner, and the most obvious change is volume and a genre-varied packed schedule.

The Bowl stage has long been graced with everything from stand-up comedy to classical music performances, Boller explained: “The whole spectrum, which is important to us, especially in our small town.” And according to Jacobs and Boller, things are just heating up.

What’s Happening now ow On a Thursday in mid-June, The Independent spoke with Boller. That Monday, the Bowl was poised to break a major announcement: For the first time ever, Santa Barbara would be welcoming The Who. The iconic British rock outfit, headed by Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, plays

As for the tour, the I Love the ’90s Bowl stop could not be tastier: Vanilla Ice —he of “Ice Ice Baby” and reality shows such as The Surreal Life—headlines a bill that includes Salt-NPepa (“Push It,” “Shoop”), Tone Loc (“Wild Thing,” “Funky Cold Medina”), and Young MC (“Bust a Move”), and, of course, Color Me Badd. (Coolio, All-4-One, Kool Moe Dee, Kid ’n Play, and Rob Base are also part of the tour lineup, depending on the market.)

Surprisingly, it took Vanilla Ice this yearlong tour, which began in January, for Calderon to meet many of his early-’90s chart-topping, urban pop peers. Back in the day, CMB only met Salt-NPepa a few times, he said.

“Rob [Van Winkle, a k a Vanilla Ice]: [I’m] just getting to know him.

Young M C Tone Loc, Coolio, Rob Base: They’ve been great.

We’re all grown up; we all have families,” Calderon added. “Backstage, everyone gets along. No one’s big-headed.”

The concerts have been high-energy, and during their stage time, CMB re-creates the choreography from their videos.“Everybody stays on their feet,” Calderon said. “We definitely burn a lot of calories up there.”

Still, everything smooths out when CMB performs the slowburning “The Earth, the Sun, the Rain,” the calliope-kissed bounce of “All 4 Love,” the Valentino-meets-Banderas, bilingual-ballad charms of Tone Loc “I Adore Mi Amor,” and the libidinous “I Wanna Sex You Up.” “It’s a lot of fun,” Calderon said. “You know every song nonstop.”

the Bowl October 6. Boller promised that this is just the beginning and to expect bigger and bigger acts to play there.

Obviously, the music industry has suffered gamechanging upheavals since the rise of the Internet and digital music, and, as Jacobs explained, increasingly fewer concert-promotion companies — i.e., Live Nation and AEG Live — are dominating live touring. “Access to content is a big part of the reason why I went back to Goldenvoice,” said Jacobs, who has worked at the Bowl in some capacity since the mid1980s. “The touring business has become more and more controlled by fewer entities.”

Meanwhile, Jacobs continued, other factors comcom plicate booking major acts as the Céline Dions, Elton Johns, and Carlos Santanas of the industry settle into exclusive Las Vegas residencies and while California Indian casinos also land big fish.“It starts to take its toll on what we have access to,” he said.

Another factor is that the really big artists (especially those with elaborate stage shows) have traditionally preferred playing multiple nights in Los Angeles or the Bay Area rather than booking shows at the Bowl. “Historically, Santa Barbara has never been on the forefront [for major artists],” Jacobs said. “It’s just too small a market. It’s not a place that everyone’s planplan ning to play. Why pack up their shit and come to Santa Barbara to play?”

The trick has been to convince acts of the Bowl’s value. That’s where Jacobs, who has long displayed “my love of Santa Barbara, my love of the Santa Barbara Bowl,” comes in. He swayed such popular groups as the Beastie Boys to play the Bowl in 1995. “Once the band plays there, they get it,” Jacobs said.

Thanks to Jacobs, the SBBF enjoyed a successful partnership with Goldenvoice from the mid-’90s into the 2000s. “That was the beginning of some big changes,” said Boller, who has served as executive director for seven years and has been involved with the SBBF for 24 years. He also credits Jacobs,“who has been involved since those early years,” and his already “strong relationship” with Goldenvoice has upped the Bowl’s currency with younger acts.“We started in 1995 with the Beastie Boys,” Boller said. “Goldenvoice had that sort of relationship with those artists, and Moss was there.”

Also helping lure larger acts to our seaside city is the long-running initiative to upgrade the aging amphitheater. “When I first got involved, it was this unique Santa Barbara experience, or gem, and it was falling apart in the early ’90s,” Boller said. “The Bowl had been in a lot of use and not a lot of upkeep. If

this place [was] going to live on into the future, there [were] quite a few things that needed to be addressed.”

In 1994, the SBBF took over the Bowl from the county and launched a two-decade capital campaign to refurbish the venue. Overhauling infrastructure, such as water, power, sewage, and public restrooms, took place during its first major phase, which began in 2001. Improvements continued through 2014, with upgrades to the backstage and donor reception area, floor, pavilion, and roof, the latter work allowing for the hanging of production rigging, which has greatly upped the level of concerts possible. “For Depeche Mode to come in here and get to do the exact stage production that they would in L.A., that’s what it’s all about,” Boller said of the renovations.

Community outreach is also important to the SBBF, much of it for obvious reasons. Initially, there were problems with neighbors with acts playing nightly and hundreds parking on their streets. After all, “320 days a year, they live on the park,” Jacobs said. The Bowl has gone to lengths to appease surrounding residents, ending shows by 10 p.m. and employing teams to pick up trash along nearby blocks.

Boller noted that the SBBF connects with the comcom munity in other ways, too, such as through its educaeduca tion-outreach program. While raising funds for its capital campaign, a dollar from each paid ticket went to various arts organizations in town working with students, kindergarten through 12th grade.

Times they are a-CHangin’ angin’ Once viewed as a Podunk stop, Santa Barbara’s parapara digm is changing as bigger artists warm up to the Bowl. “The Bowl has a magical combination of setting and incredible acoustics,” Jacobs said. “The place sounds good. And then you have the production capabilities now.”

The venue has already attracted such diverse acts as Chris Stapleton, G-Eazy, and Fitz and the Tantrums this year— year and now: The Who. Perhaps Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, and Guns N’ Roses aren’t far behind? “There are certain artists who demand when they’re in California that the Bowl has to be on their itinerary,” Jacobs said—especially said more acoustic-oriented acts, Boller added, who appreciate the open-air intimacy the Bowl can deliver.

Now realigned with Goldenvoice, the Bowl will be in striking distance of many major acts.“There’s obviobvi ously more to come,” Jacobs said.

ASKof THE DENTIST 4th July trIvIa In honor of the 4th of July, we thought we would journey back to what dentistry was like in the 1700s, when the first Independence Day was celebrated.

So did you know….

• Paul Revere was not just a silversmith and the town crier-he was a dentist. He made wire dentures with walrus teeth and was the first person to identify someone through their dental work.

• George Washington only had 1 tooth when he was inaugurated in 1789.

• Wax, chalk and cedar sticks were the toothpaste options of that time.

• Cavities were thought to be caused by a worm that burrowed into a tooth and caused pain from the inside until this was disproved in the early 1700s.

• The first foot driven drill was adapted in 1790 from a weaving loom pedal.

Our 77th th Annual

BBQ Contest

Culinary Chaos Ensues During Winners’ Showcase at The Brewhouse

by Matt Kettmann

ultiple courses of culinary chaos ensued last

Thursday at The Brewhouse, where The Santa Barbara Independent hosted two simultaneous events: the release of a hoppy red rye ale called Well-Read IPA, our first-ever collaborative beer that we made with The Brewhouse to celebrate the newspaper’s 30th anniversary, and the winners’ showcase for our 7th Annual Sizzling Summer BBQ Contest.

When more than 150 people showed up to drink the beer and sample the bite-sized versions of the winning dishes made by our hardworking grill masters, things got a little crazy.

Lines of people snaked throughout the West Montecito Street brewpub and onto the back patio, where our four winners tried their hardest to keep the food coming to satisfy the massive crowd.

It wasn’t the most streamlined affair, and not all in attendance got to try every single dish. But we’re happy to say that most everyone had a great deal of fun, and the vast majority did chomp on George Levinthal’s chorizo-laced burgers, Emily Falke’s “umami” tri-tip tacos,“Texas” Rex White’s Central Texas pork shoulder, and Neighbor Tim Goebel’s smoky brisket.

All four had already been declared victors in this year’s barbecue battle, emerging from about a dozen contestants that submitted their dishes to a panel of judges in The Independent Independent’s West Figueroa Street office a few weeks ago. And to keep the contest spirit alive, we added a “People’s Choice” component to last Thursday’s showcase. As the smoke literally cleared, The Brewhouse audience determined after nearly 90 minutes of eating that Neighbor Tim’s BBQ was their favorite.

So raise a glass and fork to all of our winners, whose dishes, along with the judges’ reactions, are detailed here.

Homemade Baked Beans with Thick-Cut Smoked Bacon.

Raised by “beef-raising wheat farmers” in South Dakota, Tim Goebel came to Santa Barbara five years ago and promptly entered some cooking contests, including our 2014 edition. Upon winning Brews & BBQ at Elings Park in June 2013, Goebel decided to launch a catering business called Neighbor Tim’s BBQ, which can be found on the first and second Saturdays at 7020 Calle Real in Goleta from noon until the food is gone (usually around 5 p.m.).

This weekend, he’ll also be serving at Girsh Park’s Fourth of July event hosted by the Rotary Club of Goleta, where Goebel is a member. His entry is classic Texas brisket, smoked for 10 hours, and served with mac ’n’ cheese, which gets a touch of mustard, and some soupy but crunchy baked beans, enhanced by chunks of pork. His food truck and catering business, which also does Carolina-style pulled pork, is based on the concept that, no matter what we believe in politics or religion or anything else, we can still all get along over some good grilled food.

Said Goebel, who’s expecting his first child soon with his wife, Caitlyn Goebel, “We’re all neighbors.”

Judges Say: “Great guy. Good story. Whole package. Brisket nicely

crunchy on outside. Snappy beans, really great. Fairly traditional, executed well. Good, zippy BBQ sauce. Winner, winner brisket dinner.”

emily Falke Dish: Grilled Umami Tri-Tip Tacos with Pickled Beets, Queso Fresco, and Cilantro Horseradish Crème; Black IPA–Braised Red Cabbage; Farro with Grilled Meyer Lemon Slices; and Shishito Peppers topped with Toasted Pepitas.

A curator and director of education at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, Emily Falke has done well in our previous grilling and cocktail contests, but this is her first win. She went with a traditional Santa Barbara County cut, the tri-tip, but looked to the Pacific Rim for inspiration and marinated the meat for a couple of days in a salty-sweet “umami” sauce. But the key to her dish is everything else that goes on the taco: the house-pickled beets, the smooth yet slightly spicy horseradishcilantro aioli, and the farro with grilled Meyer lemon. Chase it all down with a shishito pepper, and it’s a full plate indeed.

Judges Say: “An interesting play of Asian with grill flavors. Good 687.1010 | 3008 STATE ST.

Tony Figueroa, Fig’S dirT ir y ru irT r B

Tony Figueroa, who learned how to cook while working the galleys of fishing and diving boats in the Santa Barbara Harbor, placed second in our 2015 contest. This year, the judges also loved his entry: a bacon-wrapped chicken breast stuffed with pesto, asparagus, and sausage; a creative and delicious spin on Mexican-style corn with mayonnaise, chile, parmesan, lemon, and butter; a macaroni ’n’ cheese with Cheez-It crumb topping; and a last-minute bacon jam.

But what impressed us more was Fig’s Dirty Rub, a secretingredient-filled concoction that works on everything from beef and pork to chicken and fish, and even just as a seasoning.“I put it in basically everything,” he told the judges during his round. So we invited him to show it off at The Brewhouse, `9 9 have where he gaveBarbara out packets of the•rub, which he hopes• to 1 4 Santa Street Santa Barbara 66- 2 860 commercially available soon.

George Levinthal is a cooking contest veteran. This was his fifth time participating in our event, and this marks his third win. He’s also competed in the World Food Championships in Las Vegas and had his burgers featured in the Los Angeles Times. The UCSB employee’s grilled watermelon gazpacho was perhaps the most revelatory dish of the entire contest this year— year equal parts cool, smoky, and spicy. The delectable beef-and-chorizo burgers were also mouthwatering.

Judges Say: “This burger is ready for its close-up.

Super inviting. He got the perfect ratio between cheese, chorizo, and beef.”

Dish: Apple Hickory Pork Shoulder; Sautéed Green Beans with Bacon; Cheesy Squash; Pickled Okra; and Peach Cobbler.

Ever since leaving his native Central Texas, which is home to more than 100 barbecue joints from Dallas to Austin, “Texas” Rex White has lived quite a full life. The father of six has been making T-shirts since his teenage years, was a sheriff’s deputy in Ventura County, managed a heavy-metal band, once ran an avocado orchard, and built a successful career developing brands and inventing graphic technologies for textiles. He went back to his roots for this authentic entry, even pickling his own okra, using grandma’s string bean recipe (but with farmers’ market beans rather than canned ones), and using light cake flour in his cobbler. A highlight were his homemade sauces: a mustard, Carolina-influenced one he calls “Mellow Yellow” and a spicy red sauce that combines perfect amounts of heat with flavor. Oh, and he also cooks a very mean brisket smoked over pecan wood and chopped-up oak barrels that once were full of cabernet sauvignon.

Judges Say: “Smoky, peppery, clean, and simple flavors. Killer

sauces. Pickled okra a nice contrast. Traditional but thoughtful.

The cooking matches the man: varied but authentic in many ways.” n

t was a clear and breezy Thursday morning at Elings Park when the founders of Your Next Adventure, John and Heidi McMahon, looked on with great pleasure as several individuals affected by cancer soared over the hills overlooking Hendry’s Beach. Crowds of family and friends gathered and watched in awe as the nine brightly colored paragliders flew down the ocean side of Elings Park after a rigorous morning of training led by Eagle Paragliding instructors.

Your Next Adventure was inspired by a family friend of the McMahons, who was diag- FLYING AWAY: Cancer patients nosed with breast cancer and take to the air at Elings Park with developed a passion for rock help from the founders of Your Next climbing, a challenge that helped Adventure and Eagle Paragliding. her cope with the illness, face her fears, and become empowered in other areas of life. With this friend’s journey in mind, the McMahons decided to start an organization that would allow people affected by cancer to participate, completely free of charge, in extreme sports like paragliding, tandem paragliding, and rock climbing.

The nonprofit gives adults the chance to face a challenge of their choosing, with the hope that confidence gained through extreme sports will translate to more difficult aspects of life. On May 12, the group paired up with Eagle Paragliding to host its first-ever event.

“Seeing it all come to life is a very surreal experience,” said John as he watched the paragliders take off.

The participants spent the morning learning to inflate and control their wings on the ground as well as the flight and landing sequences.

Then, one by one, they took off down the hill and glided until they reached the bottom, where a van was stationed to drive them back to the top of the park for round two.

Dianna, who used to be athletic before her cancer treatment, said,“I went from not being able to walk to being able to fly.” Nikol, a first-time flier, said, “I’m bruised and sore, and I haven’t felt this alive in ages.”

Eagle Paragliding’s instructors donated their day and services to Your Next Adventure, which hopes to host events for groups of 10 people every other month. Anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer on or after their 18th birthday can enter their name on the waitlist for the next event.

Dress CoDes UnzippeD

n a nation locked like longhorns in contentious battles over abor-

tion, immigration, and assault weapons … can anyone really still be bickering over spaghetti straps?

Mais, oui, my friends. The struggle is real.

From Guilford, Connecticut, to Lynchburg,Virginia, to Helena, Montana, junior high and high school dress codes are being criticized—and even reevaluated this summer—as students and parents decry outdated policies as unrealistic, ambiguously enforced, and deeply sexist.

Trying to regulate teen wardrobes is a fool’s errand. Most everyone agrees that students should be clothed; beyond that, it gets tricky. Boys’ dress codes tend toward “Don’t promote drinking, drug use, gangs, violence, or racism,” while girls’ codes imply “Don’t … be sexy”: no short shorts, low-cut tops, bare midriffs, thin-strapped tanks, or exposed bra straps.

Most disturbing is the reason given for the girls’ rules: Their “provocative” clothing is“distracting” to other students in the learning environment.

“At track, on a hot day, if a bunch of guys are running shirtless, it’s acceptable,” says Emily Mirbod, 16, a junior at San Marcos High School.“But if a girl is wearing a bright-colored sports bra that’s showing through her white shirt, she’ll be asked to change because it’s ‘distracting.’ Instead of teaching girls to cover up, we should be teaching everyone to stop sexualizing every aspect of a girl’s body.”

Preach, sister! With college rape culture being the horror it is, are we really still teaching kids that girls and their beguiling, omnipotent tank tops are responsible for the mental state of boys on their campuses? Can this possibly still be a world wherein “her thigh was visible” is a saleable excuse for ANY BEHAVIORAL

by Starshine FAILING AT ALL — academic or otherwise?

If so, it should be against the rules for the captain of the water polo team to wink and flip his sun-streaked hair, or for that Emo hottie to email: starshine@roshell.com spend chemistry class scrawling Bauhaus on his skinny jeans—because those kinds of distractions can throw a girl off her scholastic game for hours, no joke. (Also, how many “sagger” boys get sent home for making everyone look at their exposed underwear?)

In Montana last month, a teenager was cited for violating her school’s dress code for not wearing a bra under her T-shirt—and told that her appearance had made a male teacher “uncomfortable.” Since her own comfort was the reason she’d gone braless, it must be asked: Whose comfort is a priority? Is requiring bras any different than requiring girls to wear slips or girdles or corsets? And would an A-cup student have been given a pass?

Simone Higashi, 15, worked with friends to change the dress code at her Seattle-area middle school.“We decided to come up with a code that would apply to everyone,” she says. The new code required simply “clothing that would let you participate in every activity asked of you during school, with the exception of clothing that includes offensive words or weapons.”

Higashi, who’s now trying to update the policy at her high school, believes schools should teach students which kinds of clothing are appropriate in which types of settings. “But it’s also important for schools to teach us about what objectification is,” she says, insisting that humiliating citations aren’t the way to go about it. “Schools need to lead more discussions about this and leave it up to our own choices what we want to do with our bodies.”

Sure, some students will show off their thighs and cleavage in the hopes of being objectified; these are teens exploring their sexuality, after all. But frankly … so what?

“We have to figure out how to let kids grow up, even if it makes us uncomfortable,” says Mandy Jacobson, a parent who’s asking her son’s Seattle middle school to rewrite their dress code.“What happens when girls wear booty shorts and tight, low tees? Boys lose their minds and turn into sex-crazed savages? No. I don’t think so.”

In fact, the only teenage boy who would speak to me about this issue says the whole conversation is off base: “Guys in high school are distracted by absolutely anything,” he says—and in one sentence, bares more than a skimpy crop top ever could: “Class is boring, so if there’s a girl in short shorts, you’ll look for a minute …

“Then you’ll just go back to staring off into space.”

AmericA’s Top Teen Tennis phenom O

nce Kayla Day found her stroke in

tennis, there was no turning back. The Santa Barbara native was 7 years old when she entered a one-week clinic at the Knowlwood Tennis Club. She found out that there was a two-month competition among young players that rewarded dedication: first prize to whoever played the most sets. “I spent the whole summer there,” she said. “I played like 180 sets.” And she took home her first trophy.

Day is now 16, and in the junior tennis rankings, she is the No. 1 girl in the United States and No. 6 in the world. She has so far fulfilled the ambitions she wrote down at the request of Larry Mousouris, the teaching pro at the Santa Barbara Tennis Club:  No. 1 U.S. ranking in the 12, 14, and 16 age groups.

The rest is yet to come:  Win the Wimbledon junior title at 17.  From 20 to 32, be No. 1 in the world.  Retire at 33 to recreational tennis.  At 52, play on the Senior Pro Tour … “and that will be the end of my tennis dream.”

Day lost a close match in the second round at last year’s Wimbledon, and she figures to be one of the top-seeded junior girls on the grass courts this year. Their competition will commence on Saturday, July 2.

However this tournament comes out for her, the next big goal on Day’s heady list is winning the Wimbledon title in 2017. But she’ll want it out of her head when she takes the court.

“I try not to think about my goals,” she said.“Every day, I want to improve as much as I can.”

the men’s 4x100 swim relay in 2008 at Beijing. Sixteen past and present Gaucho swimmers are competing in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials this week in Omaha, Nebraska. The highest finish in the first three days was Andrea Ward’s 41st place (out of 134 starters) in the women’s 100 butterfly.

Wade Allen, a 2015 graduate, will compete in three men’s events, the 50 and 100 freestyles and the 100 butterfly.

The U.S. Olympic Team Trials in trackand-field get underway Friday, July 1, at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Competing in the decathlon Saturday and Sunday will be

GRILLED VEGGIES: Fortunately there was no

internal damage, and they are open for business as usual, but Mesa Verde restaurant at 1919 Cliff Drive experienced a fire around 11 p.m. on June 23, causing $20,000 in damage. Firefighters found flames and smoke coming from the rear of the building and quickly brought it under control.

PALAZZIO UPDATE: Ken Boxer’s Palazzio restaurant at 1026 State Street closed for renovations last October, and he unexpectedly discovered many issues that have kept it closed ever since.

He sent me this update: “The blueprints for the kitchen remodel have finally been submitted to city officials. I should be hearing from the Building Department within the next few weeks. If there are no changes to our plans, then we should be ready to begin our kitchen remodel shortly.

Palazzio has been closed almost nine months now, and we are so ready to reopen. We are thinking that December we should be reopening. Of course, if we can get finished sooner,

this would be ideal. We will be having a lot of great things happening at Palazzio. Our menu will be expanded with lots of new ideas. I’ll keep your readers posted when we have our Grand Reopening.”

“arranta” won’t help you; it turns out it means “intrepid and daring,” and, yes, it also means this single malt from Speyburn is a product for the American market. The good news is Speyburn’s 200-plus years of tradition means it’s not overly amped up, despite being aged in American oak bourbon casks.

So expect more vanilla and a tad whiff of smoke that make this Speyside a bit more like an Islay with a Kentucky accent. Those notes accompany a spiciness that’s vivid and lasts through the warming finish. Particularly at a suggested price of $40, this is a fine single malt if you want to tipple for more than special occasions.

l i f e page 45

n By Myself Myself, Lauren Bacall’s first memoir, the actress wrote, “No one has ever written a romance better than [Humphrey Bogart and I] lived it.” Even if their film characters’ liaisons paled in comparison to their real-life affair, the repartee in Bogie/ Bacall classics like Howard Hawks’s To Have and Have Not isn’t too shabby. Which is why all eight of UCSB’s Arts & Lectures summer films at the Courthouse are Bogie and Bacall films that include both solo and costarring works.

Now in its seventh season, the Free Summer Cinema series at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden has solidified itself as a wildly popular tradition.

Each year, the roster highlights different flavors of classic films, but this is the first time the content has been centered on who stars in the movie. “We look back at classic films, but we haven’t done a series that was focused on actors, per se,” said Roman Baratiak, whose UCSB Arts & Lectures team—in a joint-collaboration with the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission, Santa Barbara County Park Foundation, and the Community Services Department of Santa Barbara County—puts on the event.

“So instead of [focusing on] a male or female actor, we chose [Bogie and Bacall], who were married and did four films together.”

Along with Casablanca — which features only Bogart — this series offers several time-honored Bogie/Bacall collaborations.

Howard Hawks’s To Have and Have Not—the couple’s first pairing, and the one in which smoky-voiced Lauren Bacall utters one of her most famous lines: “You know how to whistle ... just put your lips together and blow”— blow” plays on Wednesday, July 20, and Friday, July 22. Viewers can catch another sultry Bogie/Bacall vehicle, The Big Sleep, on Wednesday, July 27, and Friday, July 29.

Christopher Zerbe Melodies + HarMonies & Jangly guitars

Recommended for fans of Tom Petty or mid-’90s-era R.E.M. as well as appreciators of the more anthemic side of indie rock, this self-descriptive assortment of songs from Christopher Zerbe is a strong bunch of American alt-rock with a light touch of psychedelic observations and flourishes. Songs such as the wonderfully melodic “Starchild” and the rocker “Porcupine” are solid and enjoyable head-nodders, good both for high-volume fist-pumping and low-volume road-trip subversion. But Zerbe’s at his best when he’s a little offbeat, like the paranoid and creatively produced “Blackbirds over Arkansas” or the lovely instrumental “Midnight in Montmartre.” For solid S.B.-area alt-rock with character, this is a great bet.

— Richie DeMaria

Music also plays a role in the festivities. “KCRW is a local radio sponsor, and two of their deejays will come out to do a live sound mix,” said Baratiak. KCRW deejays Anthony Valadez and Raul Campos will appear before the Courthouse screenings of The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep, respectively. Darla Bea, from KCSB, provides a mix before the other screenings in the series. Before the Friday, August 26, showing of How to Marry a Millionaire, which features Bacall and fellow bombshells Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe, filmgoers can catch a performance by the United States Navy Band Cruisers, an active-duty music ensemTo Have and Have Not ble. According to Bartatick, their appearance in the festival was fortuitous. “They happened to be doing a California tour, and they happened to stop by Santa Barbara on August 26.”

The outdoor series begins with a screening of The Maltese Falcon on Friday, July 8, at 8:30 p.m.; however, filmgoers can start setting up as early as noon on Fridays. “When we first started, we said that [attendees] can come out at 5 p.m.,” said Bartatick, “but for the Hitchcock series, there was a land rush, so we moved it up for safety.” Attendees can also catch indoor screenings on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. at UCSB Campbell Hall.

red hot Chili peppers tHe getaway Time has mellowed the Red Hot Chili Peppers (RHCP).

After 35 years, the L.A. band is eons away from the hypersexual funk-punk epitomized by 1987’s Hillel Slovak–driven The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. However, trading longtime producer Rick Rubin for Danger Mouse brings fresh air to RHCP’s stadium arcadium. The Getaway launches with the blue-balling title track, building to a big chorus that never comes. Sinewy single “Dark Necessities” remains the best cut. “The Hunter” and “Dreams of a Samurai” close the collection on a trippy note, but “Feasting on the Flowers” and “Encore” do dreamy better. Nadir “The Longest Wave” should’ve been titled “The Longest Lullaby.” Too bad there isn’t more like “This Ticonderoga,” a pummeling retro-rocker with a sweetheart of a chorus. Yet after long buckling under the weight of their own clichés (“We Turn Red” crams a greatest hits of RHCP riffs, licks, and melodic moments into one song!), the Chili Peppers take several steps forward.

DJ Chris Douridas

Curated CoCktails:

summer Nights with KCrW

With expensive destination festivals claiming so much attention from music lovers these days, it’s refreshing to find an event that’s not only hip and affordable (as in free) but that’s also going to get you and your friends dancing where you belong in the summertime — outside. Cosponsored and hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB), KCRW’s region-wide Summer Nights series makes its Santa Barbara debut this season with a series of Thursdayevening deejay sets on the Upper Arts Terrace of Paseo Nuevo. Ascend the brightly tiled staircase at Chapala and De la Guerra streets from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, July 7, and you will be greeted at the top by KCRW’s DJ Chris Douridas spinning under the night sky, along with hundreds of fellow revelers enjoying late 1st Thursday hours at MCASB, themed cocktails from the mixologists at Goleta’s Goodland hotel, and craft brews from Telegraph.

The artistically inclined will get to view the current exhibition at the museum and participate in interactive art-making activities. People looking to get down can expect to hear the same eclectic mix of music that KCRW presents every day on-air and streaming but seamlessly blended into the kind of jams that only experienced party movers like Douridas can provide.

No tickets are necessary, and there’s easy parking in the Paseo Nuevo garage. How’s that for alternative?

BEST CUSTOM FRAMING PRICES ANYWHERE IN TOWN ON WITH THE SHOW: Pianist Jeremy Denk, here seen in a photo from last season, returned to the Music Academy of the West and played as part of a quartet on Tuesday, June 21, at the Lobero.

Music AcAdeMy of The WesT ConCerts Festival Artists Series. At the Lobero Theatre, Tuesday, June 21.

The Academy Festival Orchestra. At the Granada Theatre, Saturday, June 25.

T

he Music Academy of the West offered two concerts at downtown venues in the second week of its season, a Festival Artists series evening of chamber music at the Lobero on Tuesday, June 21, and the opening concert for the Academy Festival Orchestra with conductor Larry Rachleff at the Granada on Saturday, June 25. Both events were characterized by thoughtful programming, a high level of musicianship, and the thrill of an auspicious beginning to what promises to be a memorable summer. William Schuman’s American Hymn for brass quintet got Tuesday night off to great start, with a pastoral opening building through an acceleration of the tempo into something more rhythmically sophisticated and urban-sounding, as befits the work of a composer who served as president of both the Juilliard School and of Lincoln Center.

The Piano Quartet in G Minor, K. 478 of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with Jeremy Denk joined by three students, Autumn Chodorowski (violin), Matthew Sinno (viola), and Songhee Lee (cello), was a sheer delight, nearly half an hour of musical perfection.

Denk’s animated performance, complete with head-rolling gestures of what was presumably exaltation, gave the piece a distinctly Mozartian feeling of playfulness and intensity.

The final work on Tuesday’s program, the Serenade No. 1 in D Major, Op. 11 of Johannes Brahms, required 10 players—flute, two clarinets, bassoon, two horns, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. With its six movements, all of them quite substantial, this 45-minute tour de force by Brahms is very nearly a symphony, and it was a revelation to hear it the way that this outstanding group played it. Culled from scraps of evidence and a later, orchestral version, this imaginative reconstruction by musicologist Alan Boustead represents a major

contribution to the Brahms oeuvre, even if it doesn’t have his autograph.

Maestro Rachleff and the Academy Festival Orchestra lit up the Granada on Saturday with four powerful works, each chosen to demonstrate one or more aspects of this group’s pool of musical talent. The Roman Carnival Overture of Hector Berlioz had the orchestra running through rapid scales, trills, and fanfares from the outset and built to an appropriately ravishing climax. Brahms’s Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn, Op. 56a, offered a different style, one that emphasized the orchestra’s range of colors and tonal effects.

The evening’s highlight came directly after intermission with a performance of Claude Debussy’s famous Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. This modernist classic features an unforgettable opening statement for solo flute that actually replicates the narrative of the poem that inspired the piece, which begins with a faun taking up a flute to express his memories of a pair of encounters with some lovely nymphs. Debussy’s masterpiece was not always as well regarded as it is today.

One reviewer who heard the work played in Boston in 1905 asserted that “we cannot feel that all this extreme ecstasy is natural; it seems forced and hysterical; it is musical absinthe.”

Absinthe or not, the shimmering unreality of the work is supremely seductive to the ear.

One can only imagine the impact the work must have had when it accompanied a voluptuous performance by Vaslav Nijinsky and the Ballets Russes. The evening’s finale, Ottorino Respighi’s Pines of Rome, offered a similarly lush sense of nature infused with modernist strangeness, and it sent the audience out into the Summer Solstice Saturday night as if returning from another world.

GaMe of Thrones finale

Theatre Under the Stars

Another Season Over, and Sunday Nights Are Empty Again

M

ourn, America: Another season of Game of Thrones (GoT) is over, and Sunday nights are empty again. Another year and many favorite characters live while lots of others died, and finally (spoiler alert) that long-awaited doom that hangs over everything, that calamity we hear about in the first moment of the first episode, winter, officially arrives, announced by a white raven.

Some might say, just in time. Fans have been grumbling, and some have hurled accusations around in END OF WATCH: The Season 6 finale, “The Winds of Winter,” wrapped up an Internet forums suggesting that the especially strong season of this HBO favorite. show itself was becoming too chill, was less exciting, gory, and gratuitously sexual. It is a two magnificent happy-ending slaughters. Burnings, truism that last year (Season 5) was the worst season mountains of dead soldiers, dogs eating human face, ever: too slow, too obvious, and too mired in plot yay! Daenerys’s dragons may feel a little like a deus ex complications instead of unnatural acts. The show’s machina unleashed on the slave-owners armada, but old ferocity had dissipated, many critics alleged, ever who cares? It was sublime TV. The Winterfell battle since Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) killed his papa, Tywin may have felt a bit Tolkien in its turning tides, but it (Charles Dance), on the crapper at the end of Season nonetheless generated real thrills and was among the 4. Season 5 complaints ceased fast, however, after Jon most electrifying sequences television has ever created.

Snow’s stabby death, a finale that shocked America silly. And the breathtaking finale continues the trend of Season 6 had complainers, too. Some suggested that just deserts — even coldhearted Cersei got pleasurable the bloodletting inventiveness fell off because the writ- and explosive vengeances that were hard not to enjoy ers were now “off book,” that is they were writing past vicariously.

Suddenly the possibil- off episodes, I guess, when the belated rewards are ity of time travel (Hodor’s death and the plot about so strong. In terms of spectacle, GoT has never let us the Three-Eyed Raven) and another resurrection (Jon down, from King’s Landing to northern battles with the Snow) make the show’s pervasive dooms and glooms White Walkers. In terms of televised melodrama, the feel kinda surmountable. And then there were pointless show is unparalleled. We love these characters, even the plot reiterations like Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) weirdly more wicked in the fold, and part of the fun is being put repeating her own history with the Horsemen of Essos on pins and needles to find out who will calamitously from capture to rebirth in flames.

SUMMER MOVIES FOR KIDS!

a&e | film & TV CONT’D FrOm p. 53 O The Shallows

(86 mins., PG-13)

From the same director who gave us the ridiculously beautiful gangster film Run All Night comes this movie, which from the previews seems to be mere Shark Week fodder, yet feels more like Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity than Spielberg’s Jaws.

Nearly every scene has some tricky revelation, gorgeous view, or stunning set piece like the race between Nancy (Blake Lively) and the big, bad shark through an illuminated field of jellyfish.

The movie is suspenseful and intelligently crafted, and even its final credits are stunning. (DJP) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Swiss Army Man (95 mins., R) Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe star in this adventure/comedy about a man who becomes stranded on a deserted island and contemplates suicide until a corpse washes up onshore, which he befriends and which helps him get home.

Paseo Nuevo

lude in which Patrick Wilson as real-life ghost-chaser Ed Warren strums “Love Me Tender.” 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. (DJP) Fairview/Metro 4

despite mixed reviews. This movie has all the same corny beats — action, emotion, and spectacle overload— overload and features Santa Barbara star and former kiteboarder Maika Monroe (It Follows), who steals the show. You will not learn anything about yourself or the nature of reality. You will see a gigantic alien queen chase a busload of kids across the Salt Flats. (DJP)

O Finding Dory

O Love & Friendship

(103 mins., PG)

Maybe it isn’t one of those sequels that turn out better than the original, but it won’t invite disgrace on the Pixar brand either. The first half of Finding Dory isn’t funny and goes pretty much where you expect it to — Dory remembers her parents, invites Nemo and Marlin on an adventure, and then gets waylaid.

But the second half is all preposterous problems and crazy solutions. An insecure octopus and the voice of Sigourney Weaver help the forgetful blue tang negotiate a fable about trusting her own heart’s ways. (DJP) Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D)/ Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)

(92 mins.; R)

Spoiler alert: If you can resist all temptation to Google the details behind this fascinating film, a sensation at Sundance, the more you will be entranced by the tale and the telling. What begins as a human-interest curio pursued by New Zealand blogger/filmmaker David Farrier, following up his discovery of a “tickling competition,” grows less and less amusing as he and partner Dylan Reeve encounter aspects of Internet terrorism and fringe zones of the porn world (the “tickle torture” fetish).

Beyond the titillating and repugnant aspects of the unfolding story, Farrier and Reeve have created an investigative guerilla doc project whose plot thickens in startling ways, similar to Errol Morris’s spider’s strategy to filmmaking and exploring the everyday oddity and perversity of the known world.

(92 mins., PG)

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

Camino Real (2D)/Metro 4 (2D)

Free State of Jones (139 mins., R) Not everything works, dramatically, or achieves its desired state of artfulnessversus-showbiz slickness and smugness in director Gary Ross’s true-life-based film about a group of rebels and escaped slaves courageously creating a Mississippi outpost during the Civil War. But the film succeeds in expanding the current sociocultural conversation about slavery— slavery and its lingering post-“emancipation” horrors. Self-determined and self-appointed commanderin-chief of his own free zone in the Deep South, Matthew McConaughey puts in one of his now routinely fine performances (since his apparent talentreplacement surgery) and wears his shaggy heroics well. (JW) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Genius (104 mins., PG-13) Based on A. Scott Berg’s award-winning book, this film follows the relationship between writer Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law) and publisher Max Perkins (Colin Firth), who oversaw the now legendary writers Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Wolfe, among others.

Nicole Kidman, Guy Pearce, Laura Linney, and Dominic West also star.

Plaza de Oro

O Independence Day: Resurgence (120 mins., PG-13) Expect a big-budget B movie. You will not be disappointed. The first Independence Day— released way back in 1996 — was ridiculously derivative and yet inexplicably enjoyable, a cult film

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 Clarke) 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) Fiesta 5 The Music of Strangers (96 mins., PG-13)

Celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma and other artists from around the word discuss their philosophies on music and culture in this documentary by director Morgan Neville.

“CAPTIVATING AND JAW-DROPPING” - The Hollywood Reporter

The Neon Demon (117 mins., R) Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive) directs this thriller about a girl named Jesse (Elle Fanning) who moves to L.A. to become a model. What she finds there are women obsessed with youth and beauty who will do anything to get ahead— even commit murder. Fiesta 5 ahead Now You See Me 2 (129 mins., PG-13)

It’s fair to say that this sequel is an improvement over the first installment, but that doesn’t mean it’s good. Something smarmy underlies this supposed thriller, using idealistic magicians as protagonists as if magic were more than a flashy con. It wants you to believe this is a more amazing version of Mission Impossible. But the movie is far too smug and flabby. Magic is fake, but magic made for a movie is doubly faked and achieved without any real discipline.

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and the others are flashy, but it’s all spectacle without a point— point just another Hollywood franchise. (DJP) Metro 4

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of June 30 the power to turn tension into beauty. But will you actually accomplish this noble goal, or will your efforts be less melodious? It all depends on how much poised self-discipline you summon.

ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): During winter, some bears spend months hibernating. Their body temperatures and heart rates drop. They breathe drowsily. Their movements are minimal. Many hummingbirds engage in a similar slowdown — but they do it every single night. By day they are among the most manic creatures on earth, flapping their wings and gathering sustenance with heroic zeal.When the sun slips below the horizon, they rest with equal intensity. In my estimation, Aries, you don’t need a full-on immersion in idleness like the bears. But you’d benefit from a shorter stint, akin to the hummingbird’s period of dormancy.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): Once upon a time, weren’t you the master builder who never finished building your castle? Weren’t you the exile who wandered aimlessly while fantasizing about the perfect sanctuary of the past or the sweet safety zone of the future? Didn’t you perversely nurture the ache that arose from your sense of not feeling at home in the world? I hope that by now you have renounced all of those kinky inclinations. If you haven’t, now would be an excellent time to do so.

How might you reinvest the mojo that will be liberated by the demise of those bad habits?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): “Dear Dr. Brezsny: A psychic predicted that sometime this year I will fall in love with a convenience store clerk who’s secretly a downon-his-luck prince of a small African country. She said that he and I have a unique destiny. Together we will break the world’s record for dancing without getting bitten in a pit of cobras while drunk on absinthe on our honeymoon. But there’s a problem. I didn’t have time to ask the psychic how I’ll meet my soulmate, and I can’t afford to pay $250 for another reading. Can you help? — Mopey Taurus.” Dear Mopey: The psychic lied. Neither she nor anyone else can see what the future will bring you. Why? Because what happens will be largely determined by your own actions. I suggest you celebrate this fact. It’s the perfect time to do so: July is Feed Your Willpower Month.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): In accordance with the astrological omens, I have selected three aphorisms by poet James Richardson to guide you. Aphorism #1: “The worst helplessness is forgetting there is help.” My commentary: You have the power to avoid that fate. Start by identifying the sources of healing and assistance that are available to you. Aphorism #2: “You do not have to be a fire to keep one burning.” My commentary: Generate all the heat and light you can, yes, but don’t torch yourself. Aphorism #3: “Patience is not very different from courage. It just takes longer.” My commentary: But it may not take a whole lot longer.

VIRGO

GEMINI

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): You may not know this, but I am the founder and CEO of Proud to Be Humble, an acclaimed organization devoted to minimizing vanity. It is my sworn duty to protest any ego that exceeds the acceptable limits as defined by the Geneva Convention on Narcissism. However, I now find myself conflicted. Because of the lyrical beauty and bighearted charisma that are currently emanating from your ego, I am unable, in good conscience, to ask you to tone yourself down. In fact, I hereby grant you a license to expand your self-love to unprecedented

(May 21 - June 20): Of all the concert pianos in the world, 80 percent of them are made by Steinway. A former president of the company once remarked that in each piano, “243 taut strings exert a pull of 40,000 pounds on an iron frame.” He said it was “proof that out of great tension may come great harmony.” That will be a potential talent of yours in the coming weeks, Gemini. Like a Steinway piano, you will have Homework: For one week, pretend to already be something you’re on your way to becoming.

proportions. You may also feel free to unleash a series of lovely brags.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): The next 28 days will not be a favorable period to sit around passively wishing to be noticed. Nor will it be a good time to wait to be rescued or to trust in others to instigate desirable actions. On the other hand, it will be an excellent phase to be an initiator: to decide what needs to be done, to state your intentions concisely, and to carry out your master plan with alacrity and efficiency. To help ensure your success during the next 28 days, make this declaration each morning before breakfast: “I don’t want to OBSERVE the show. I want to BE the show.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): “In life, as in bicycling, pedal when you have to, coast when you can.” So says author James Lough, and now I’m passing on his advice to you — just in time for your transition from the heavy-pedaling season to the coasting-is-fun phase. I suspect that at this juncture in your life story you may be a bit addicted to the heavy pedaling. You could be so accustomed to the intensity that you’re inclined to be suspicious of an opportunity to enjoy ease and grace. Don’t be like that.

Accept the gift with innocent gratitude.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): “When a jet flies low overhead, every glass in the cupboard sings,” writes aphorist James Richardson. “Feelings are like that: choral, not single; mixed, never pure.” That’s always true, but it will be intensely true for you in the coming weeks.

I hope you can find a way to tolerate, even thrive on, the flood of ambiguous complexity. I hope you won’t chicken out and try to pretend that your feelings are one-dimensional and easily understandable. In my opinion, you are ripe to receive rich lessons in the beauty and power of mysterious emotions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Pop artist Andy Warhol said that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes.

His idea had a resonance with the phrase “nine days’ wonder,” which as far back as Elizabethan times referred to a person or event that captured the public’s fascination for a while. You Capricorns are entering a phase when you’re far more likely than usual to bask in the spotlight. Between now and September 2017, I bet you’ll garner at least a short burst of glory, acclaim, or stardom — perhaps much more. Are you ready for your close-up? Have you prepped for the influx of attention that may be coming your way?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): One of my readers, Jay O’Dell, told me this story: “After my cancer surgery, a nurse said to me, ‘You may as well try magical thinking. Regular thinking hasn’t helped.’ I said to the nurse, ‘Well, why the hell not?’ That was seven years ago.” In bringing O’Dell’s testimony to your attention, I don’t mean to suggest you will have any health problems that warrant a strong dose of magical thinking. Not at all.

But you may get wrapped up in a psychological twist or a spiritual riddle that would benefit from magical thinking. And what exactly is magical thinking?

Here’s one definition: The stories that unfold in your imagination have important effects on what actually happens to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Let’s talk about X factors and wild cards and strange attractors. By their very nature, they are unpredictable and ephemeral, even when they offer benevolent breakthroughs. So you may not even notice their arrival if you’re entranced by your expectations and stuck in your habitual ways.

But here’s the good news, Pisces: Right now you are not unduly entranced by your expectations or stuck in your habits. Odds are high that you will spy the sweet twists of fate — the X factors and wildcards and strange attractors — as they float into view. You will pounce on them and put them to work while they’re still fresh. And then they will help you hike your ratings or get the funding you need or animate the kind of love that heals.

Any information obtained may be used for that purpose. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor‑ mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that

the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursu‑ ant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that infor‑ mation about trustee sale postpone‑ ments be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730‑2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site ‑ www.servicelinkASAP.com‑ for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file num‑ ber assigned to this case: 124787.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. A‑4581441 06/30/2016, 07/07/2016, 07/14/2016

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a con‑ tingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issu‑ ance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

Assigned: Dept. 5 Honorable Colleen Sterne TO: GEORGE THORNHILL, and to all persons claiming to be the par‑ ent of the minor child named ELLA THORNHILL, a minor female child born on August 27, 2013.

By order of this court you are hereby advised that you may appear before a judge of the Santa Barbara County Superior Court, in Department 5, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara CA 93101, on the date of August 1st, 2016 at the hour of 10:­30 a.m., to show cause, if you have any reason why the minor child should not be declared free from your custody and control, according to the Petition to Declare the Minor Freed From Parental Custody and Control filed herein under Family Code §7800 et seq., a copy of which is served herewith and may also be obtained from counsel for Petitioners.

The Petition has been filed for the purpose of freeing the minor child for adoption. For failure to attend, you may be deemed guilty of contempt of court.

1 You have the right to be represented by counsel. If you appear without counsel, and are unable to afford counsel, upon your request, the court shall appoint legal counsel to rep‑ resent you. The court may appoint counsel to represent the minor, whether or not the minor can afford private counsel.

Private counsel appointed by the court shall be paid a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, in an amount to be determined by the court and which amount may be ordered paid by the parties, other than the child, in proportions the court deems just. However, if a party is unable to afford counsel, the amount shall be paid out of the county’s general fund.

The court may continue the proceed‑ ing for not to exceed 30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable counsel to become acquainted with the case.

The minor will not be present in court unless the minor so requests or the court so orders.

If you fail to attend the hearing, the child may be declared freed from your parental custody and control, and the child may be adopted without further notice to you.
