rapist gets six-Month sentence UCSB Dropout Likely to Be Deported Next

S

by K e l s e y B r u g g e r

huhei Nakata, 22, was sentenced this week to six months in County Jail for raping an intoxicated woman last June in Isla Vista.

A UCSB dropout who played lacrosse and worked at a local tech company, Nakata was born in Japan but spent most of his life in Northern California before moving to the Santa Barbara area for college. Once he completes his remaining 55 days in custody, Nakata will likely be deported, as he is not a U.S. citizen.

That “collateral consequence” was essential for prosecutor Von Nguyen, who struck a plea deal with Nakata’s defense attorney, Catherine Swysen.“These are tough cases,” Nguyen said outside the courtroom Monday. “I took [the victim’s] feelings and what we believed to be best for her into consideration.”

On June 6, Nakata pleaded guilty to felony rape and rape by use of drugs, agreeing to spend 180 days in jail, be on felony probation for five years, and register as a sex offender for life. The county’s Probation Department, however, had recommended that Nakata be sentenced to three years in prison.

In its report, the department stated Nakata was unsuitable for probation because he personally gave Jane Doe—as she is identified in court documents—shots of vodka and failed to cease the assault despite friends’ knocking on the locked bedroom door.“The defendant should be deemed a danger to young college women reaching their legal alcohol consumption age,” it reads.

Nguyen disagreed with the recommendation. She said she had long conversations with the victim’s family and emphasized the plea deal “was not something done against the victim’s will.” Nakata felt his sentence “was a little unfair.” Swysen declined to comment.

One Friday afternoon in June 2015, Jane Doe drank beers with friends, including Nakata, at Pizza My Heart in Isla Vista, before 8

JUSTICE? Shuhei Nakata called his sentence “a little unfair.” heading back to a friend’s house, where she drank shots of vodka. The group later decided to go to another acquaintance’s house, the probation report states, but her friends realized she could barely stand straight and that she needed to go home. They dropped her off at home. Nakata stayed with her.

According to the probation report, Nakata said he brought her water and a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. He patted her on the back, he said, because she “just didn’t look okay.” In a conversation with Doe days later, he said,“You know you were like hugging me and stuff, and that led to kissing.” He went on, “At the time I thought you might have been a little attracted to me or something, and that’s what led to hooking up and having sex, but I realize that after you called me ‘Conner’ that you were just very, very drunk and mistook me for someone else. In light of that, I probably took advantage of the fact that you were very intoxicated and that is what I’m very sorry for.”

According to witness accounts, Doe’s friends knocked on her bedroom door when they heard sounds of two people having sex, but the door was locked. They said they heard her call Nakata “Conner,” the wrong name, but that he did not stop, which he later admitted when questioned by Sheriff’s deputies.

When asked if he thought Doe would have sex with him while sober, Nakata said,“Honestly, probably no.”

Two days after the assault, Doe reported the assault to the Isla Vista Foot Patrol and was later administered a rape kit. One day later, Doe informed deputies the pants she was wearing that night were still zipped and buttoned when she found them.

Nakata later admitted the incident weighed on him because he realized Doe was “completely blacked out” and the intercourse was “absolutely not okay to happen,” the probation report states. He also wrote an apology letter.

The case concludes at a time of outrage surrounding the case of Brock Turner, who received what many critics called a light sentence after brutally raping a woman behind a dumpster at Stanford University.

In response to public outrage, two state lawmakers quickly drafted AB 2888, which would require defendants convicted of sex crimes involving intoxicated victims to serve time in prison.

Elsa Granados, director at the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center, said she had mixed feelings about the bill. “When a jury sees an increase in sentencing, they tend not to convict,” she said. “They can’t see the hurt and trauma of the person assaulted. They do see how the perpetrator is going to be impacted.” However, she added, “Of course we want to see perpetrators held accountable for their crime.” Assemblymember Das Williams voted for the bill. It has yet to reach the n Senate floor.

Police restrained a Los Alamos man on 7/31 after the man reportedly planned to commit “suicide by cop.” Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 600 block of Main Street on a 9-1-1 call of a 27-year-old man “out of control” and screaming at family members.

After placing him in handcuffs, deputies reportedly learned the man had planned to attack them with a shovel in order to force them to shoot him. Emergency mentalhealth personnel at the scene placed him on a mental-health hold; deputies seized two firearms registered to him. The man was sent to the hospital. Kelly Hoover, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, said the department offers a new Crisis Intervention Training program to help officers properly respond to situations involving people with mentalhealth issues or developmental disabilities.

Citing a massive backlog of investigation reports that still need to be read and digested, prosecutors and defense attorney for accused murderer Pierre Haobsh agreed to meet in court on September 27 to set the final date to hold the preliminary hearing.

Haobsh is accused of murdering acclaimed Chinese herbal doctor Henry Han, his wife, and their daughter this April. Han was reportedly working on a cancer treatment using traditional Chinese herbal remedies combined with hemp and cannabis oils.

Haobsh, said to be a skilled lab technician, was a partner with Han in one such business venture. No determination has been made whether to charge the case as deathpenalty eligible. Typically, such decisions are made after the preliminary hearing.

Police and paramedics responded 8:49 p.m.

Tuesday night to Cliff Drive and La Marina Street, where a white 1997 Lexus sedan speeding east on Cliff Drive lost control and crashed, killing three young adults and critically injuring a fourth. A witness estimated the car was traveling at 85-100 mph.

The condition of the injured passenger was unknown as of press time. The identities of the deceased victims — two men and one woman, all in their twenties — were not available, pending notification of their families. Authorities said it is unclear if drugs and alcohol were a factor in the crash.

A Santa Maria jury took just over 20 minutes to return a guilty verdict on 8/2 against Nicholas Baucom, 30, who had forged signatures and a notary stamp on deed transfer papers in an attempt to steal a house.

When he tried to get the fake real estate transaction recorded, the clerk at the County Recorder’s Office “did a great job of fending him off,” said prosecuting attorney Casey Nelson of the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Real Estate Fraud Unit. The owner of the home lived out of the area, and Baucom had been squatting in the vacant home; he had been found guilty of the same crime in Brooklyn in 2012. He faces up to seven years, eight months in prison; sentencing is scheduled for 8/25.

Water rates going up

Water rates in the City of Santa Barbara are going up again, this time by almost $30 a month for moderate water users — defined as those who use roughly 7,500 gallons a month. For low water users — 2,900 gallons a month — bills will be bumped by $2.45 a month. But for heavy users — 15,000 gallons a month or more — rates will increase by $78 a month.

Driving the City Council’s decision to increase water rates by a unanimous vote this Tuesday has been the drought. With customers using 35 percent less water than they used to, sales revenues are way down. At the same time, droughtrelated costs have gone up: $55 million to build the desalination plant and millions more to buy the supplemental water supplies needed to keep Lake Cachuma from going bone dry.

In the same meeting, the council authorized the expenditure of $500,000 to begin the serious design and legal work of negotiating a deal that would allow the Montecito Water District to buy 1,250 acre-feet of water a year from the city’s new desalination plant. Talks between the two agencies to this date have been much smoke with little fire, and only recently have they agreed how to split the cost of negotiations. At issue is how much Montecito will have to pay for the costs to build the new desal plant, including the pipes needed to connect the facility with Montecito, as well as its annual operating costs.

If and when the desal plant begins production early next year with an annual output of 3,125 acre-feet, there won’t be enough left over to sell to Montecito. To accommodate Montecito’s demand, major additions will need to be made. That work is estimated to take at least two years. Montecito water planners state they have secured enough out-of-county supplies to see them through to September 2019. By sharp contrast, Santa Barbara planners worry that they may not have enough to get through the summer of 2017 — even with the desal plant cooking — if it doesn’t rain. Currently under worst-case, what-if discussions are possible bans on outdoor irrigation and even a moratorium on new water hookups.

county Santa Barbara County vintners and their wine country neighbors remain in planning-process limbo, as the updated winery ordinance’s second public hearing before the Planning Commission ended with directions for the new rules to be revised. That’s also what happened during the 7/22 hearing. The winery ordinance update has been in the works for nearly five years, and the main points of contention remain almost exactly the same: fear that unchecked growth will result in qualityof-life impacts, primarily in regard to traffic, road safety, and noise from special events, and a belief the new ordinance would greatly restrict the ability for new, smaller wineries to be built and be successful. Staff was directed to return with a new option for smaller wineries to have a tasting room, perhaps with

reduced required acreage amounts. The next hearing is scheduled for 9/19.

For the first time in recent memory, the race for the Goleta Water District Board of Directors — serving 85,000 customers west of Santa Barbara — will be a contested one. Bob Geis, the county’s former auditor-controller who stepped down after 25 years in March, is challenging one of the three incumbents up for reelection in November, including Lauren Hanson, Rick Merrifield, and Bill Rosen. Geis said he is not critical of the current board but that his background could help their longterm planning. Jean Blois, a former director of the district and former longtime Goleta mayor, said she is seriously thinking about running but has not yet filed papers. She has until Friday to do so.

Fish Out of Water

cont’d page 10 

Biologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife are poised to launch a major fish rescue operation early next week for the rainbow trout in Jameson Reservoir, which has dropped to precariously low levels. Jameson is one of the key water supplies for the Montecito Water District. Because the trout in the reservoir are effectively landlocked behind two dams, they are not technically regarded as steelhead trout, a federally endangered species. Steelhead are defined by a life cycle that takes them out to the ocean and back up their creeks of origin.

Despite such legal technicalities, the trout in Jameson are genetically identical to steelhead trout and are considered extremely valuable because their populations have not mixed at all with trout introduced via human intervention. Biologists will capture the trout using traditional catch-and-release methods and will truck any caught fish to hatcheries near Fillmore. Water levels in the reservoir have dropped to 20 feet; typically Jameson is 80 feet deep. As the lake gets shallower, water temperatures rise; at a certain point, the trout can no longer survive.

According to one federal report, there are no more than 500 adult steelhead between the Santa Maria River and the Mexican border. According to a new fiveyear assessment by the National Marine Fisheries Service, steelhead populations remain critically low, but progress made on freshwater habitat restoration and on removing fish barriers will give remnant populations a better chance at waging a — Nick Welsh comeback once rains resume.

POLITICAL PAYBACK? Assemblymember Roger Hernández (D-West Covina) helped kill a parentalleave bill after its sponsor, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, called on Hernández to step down over spousal-abuse allegations.

Parental leave Back from the dead?

Jackson Hints at Retaliation

by Wife-Beating Committee Chair

S

by N i c K W e l s h

tate Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson announced she plans in the final month of this year’s legislative session to bring back a bill that would extend job protection for workers on parental leave.

On June 22, Jackson’s bill—SB 1166—died in the Assembly Labor and Employment Committee, which at the time was chaired by West Covina Democrat Roger Hernández.

Two months prior, Jackson had issued a public letter demanding that Hernández take a leave of absence from the Legislature pending resolution of spousal-abuse charges filed in April by his now ex-wife, Baldwin Park City Councilmember Susan Rubio.

Hernández denied ever striking Rubio, but on July 30, a Los Angeles judge granted Rubio’s request for a three-year restraining order, finding Rubio’s testimony to be credible and Hernández’s not. Shortly thereafter, he was stripped of his chairmanship. Earlier this month, Hernández was conspicuously absent from office, having submitted a doctor’s note stating he’d be out for a week and a half. In that time, he will continue to receive a daily stipend of $176 to cover incidental expenses associated with performing his legislative duties. That is in addition to his salary of $101,000 a year.

In the June 22 hearing, Jackson said Hernández did not speak before casting a vote to abstain on her bill, which would extend parental-leave job protection to include smaller companies — those with 10-50 employees. Current law already offers such protections to businesses with 50 employees or more. Three other committee members also opted to abstain from Jackson’s bill, effectively killing it. Only two members of the committee voted for it. One—Democrat Tony Thurmond— Thurmond has since been appointed to replace Hernández as chair. A Sacramento independent.com

insider suggested that if the vote occurred today, the outcome would have been very different. While Jackson shied away from outright accusing Hernández of retaliation, she also stated, “You can’t pretend there isn’t a possibility of retribution here.” Phone calls and emails to Hernández’s office have not been returned.

Jackson said she met with Hernández after calling on him to step down and before the committee hearing to explain the particulars of her legislation. “I wanted to make sure he understood what was in it and that he could look beyond our past issues,” she said. “I got no response. Nothing.”

Committee member Kansen Chu, a Democrat from San Jose, also voted to abstain, but said he was concerned the bill could hurt small businesses. He denied he was part of any effort to punish Jackson for speaking out against Hernández.“I didn’t even know about it,” he said. “I don’t pay much attention over here to those problems. I’m just a public servant. I’m not a politician.” Chu said he plans to meet with Jackson in hopes of getting her to amend the bill. He said he’d support a bill that exempted companies with 10 full-time workers per shift rather than 10 full-time workers overall. Those smaller companies can’t afford the cost of hiring a “floater,” he said.

Although the California Chamber of Commerce has attacked SB 1166 as a “job killer,” Jackson argued that companies who provide paternal-leave protections engender far greater employee loyalty and enjoy improved morale. “It’s actually good for businesses,” she argued. Jackson said about one-third of employees who are eligible for paternal leave—six weeks paid and six weeks unpaid—do not avail themselves of it. Many, she said, worry that their jobs will be taken before they return. Jackson noted that all employees pay into the family leave account via paycheck deductions.

As the team aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus roamed the sea surrounding the Channel Islands in July, they came across a strange, bumpy purple blob (pictured) with a shining pink core visible through its outer membrane. On the team’s video feed, researchers can be heard making guesses about its species and finally admitting they are stumped. The team is working with the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology to identify the purple orb, which unfolded into two different lobes after they retrieved it. Their best guess so far is that it’s a pleurobranch, a type of sea slug. It could take several years to determine if they found a new species.

On 8/4, the birth of two California infants with Zika-related microcephaly was disclosed by the state Department of Public Health, which added that the infants pose no health risk. The mothers developed Zika infections after visiting a country with the virus, the agency stated. A cluster of mosquito-related infections in Florida has affected 17 individuals as of press time.

The virus, named after the Zika Forest in Uganda, was first noted in humans in 1957, and the first large outbreak occurred in Micronesia in 2007, according to the World Health Organization. Brazil’s increased rate of microcephaly last year was caused by a viral strain similar to Micronesia’s, reported LiveScience.com, likely introduced as early as 2013.

FINAL MOMENTS: Javier Gaona, 32, held a knife to his throat and shouted at police to kill him on the morning of July 20, just before he was fatally shot as many as 15 times by Santa Maria officers.

ttorneys for the family of a 31-year-old man who was shot and killed by police officers two weeks ago filed a wrongful death complaint against the Santa Maria Police Department. The lawsuit seeks $3 million in damages and demands that the department better train its personnel in the use of lethal force.

On Wednesday morning, July 20, police responded to the 1400 block of South Broadway, where Javier Gaona reportedly left Wells Fargo distressed and wielding what was described as an eight-inch knife. Within about 15 minutes, more than a dozen peace officers and their BearCat armored vehicle arrived on scene. For half an hour, officers negotiated with Gaona while he yelled back, asking them to kill him and holding the knife to his throat.

Police fired 15 beanbag rounds. Gaona fell.

He got back up. He then lunged at the officers, three of whom fired as many as 15 shots.

Gaona later died at the hospital.

“It was a static situation,” said attorney Eric Schweitzer, who has represented a number of families of police shooting victims. “This was not a riot. This was not a guy being civilly disobedient. They had time on their hands.

What was the rush?”

Immediately after the incident, Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin told reporters an FBI negotiator spoke to Gaona but that he had stopped talking with the agent. He clearly intended to harm himself or others, Martin said. Last week, Martin declined a follow-up interview, citing the pending litigation. Dis-

trict Attorney Joyce Dudley said her office would conduct an investigation but that it usually takes months for her office to even receive the police reports.

Originally from Michoacán, Mexico, Gaona had been in Santa Maria for 11 years.

He lived with his mom and dad and two sisters. He had six prior arrests, all for misdemeanors, and had spent time in and out of County Jail. According to Schweitzer, Gaona suffered from bouts of depression, at times not leaving his bedroom for a week, but he was never aggressive. Whether or not he was ever diagnosed, Schweitzer said, is still to be determined. “It really doesn’t matter as to the case at hand,” he said. He rejected the theory Gaona wanted to commit suicide by cop.

“If they had shields and Tasers in place,” this wouldn’t have happened, Schweitzer added. He argued Gaona was 18-20 feet away from police, and “you don’t use deadly force under any circumstances outside of 21 feet unless he is armed with a firearm.”

This month, a new California law went into effect requiring that police academies increase their mental-illness training from six hours to 15. A second component sets up mentalhealth training sessions, covering mental illness, intellectual disabilities, substance-abuse disorders, and tactical communication. It is not mandatory, but departments can order that their officers complete the sessions. The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office hopes to have 100 percent of its personnel trained in crisis intervention by next April.

Last week, the Blue Courage program — a two-day training session that instructs depu-

ties how to handle people exhibiting signs of mental distress—was offered to Santa Barbara County law enforcement. Undersheriff Bernard Melekian called the course “as interesting and as helpful” as he had hoped.

In 2000, Melekian, then Pasadena’s police chief, testified before Congress about officers interacting with the mentally ill. He said police were “ill-prepared and ill-equipped” to deal with such issues.“I came into this business for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was to help people. And I find that with regard to this issue, I am unable to do my job,” Melekian said.

“I cannot help the woman who comes into my police station in fear for her life, for the life of her children, because her husband hears voices and views her as some sort of demonic creature. I cannot help the people who are afraid of their neighbors or the homeless person walking down the street.

“This issue has been, in my opinion, improperly framed to be whether one is for or against civil liberties. There is nothing civil about jail. There is nothing civil about living under a bridge or in an alley,” he continued.

“Why have police officers in this country become the first responders and, in effect, placed in the position of becoming armed social workers?”

Some progress has been made, Melekian said. Awareness of mental illness is infinitely better, and training for deputies has improved, he said. “Quite honestly the solution to this problem is not to figure out which weapons are most effective but figuring out how to get n people into treatment.”

LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH: Over the decades, efforts to open up Hollister Ranch’s rural countryside and unpopulated beaches have gotten tenacious pushback from those who don’t want its natural splendor (and world-class surf spots) loved to death.

Court Considers Hollister Ranch Access

A

by K e i t h h a M M

34-year-old irrevocable offer to dedicate public access and recreation along a Hollister Ranch beach and bluff top remains the prime point of contention in Santa Barbara Superior Court as Judge Colleen Sterne weighs pro-access arguments from a pair of state agencies against fierce opposition by property owners inside the exclusive 14,500acre community west of Gaviota.

Notarized in 1982, the offer of public access was written to satisfy the California Coastal Commission as it permitted the development of a recreational camp on property owned at the time by the Metropolitan YMCA of Los Angeles. Since 1970, the YMCA had owned the 160-acre parcel in Cuarto Canyon, plus easements along the main ranch road and from the property to the nearby bluff and beach. While the YMCA camp was designed to accommodate 150 visiting members and upward of 50 staff staffers, the public access offer pledged to shuttle another 50 visitors from the general public per day from the ranch’s entrance gate to the 3,880-foot stretch of beach south of Cuarto Canyon.

The Hollister Ranch Owners Association (HROA) pulled the plug on YMCA’s ambitious project by purchasing the property for $1.2 million in 1983. However, according to court documents filed by the state’s Attorney General’s office, the public-access offer remained active, essentially grandfathered in as a property right predating the 1971 subdivision that created the Hollister Ranch and its owners association. Tasked by its enabling legislation to take advantage of the opportunity, the California State Coastal Conservancy — a non-regulatory state agency focused on protecting coastal resources and public access — picked up the offer in 2013.

The ranch promptly sued.

“The trouble with [the offer to dedicate public access] is that it wasn’t valid to begin

with,” said Steven Amerikaner, representing HROA. He argues that the Coastal Commission ordered the YMCA to offer easements across private property it didn’t own and that the YMCA did so without asking permission from nine neighboring landholders.

Professional opinion varies on whether the case is a legal long shot for California residents’ constitutional right to step foot on publicly held beaches or a true chink in the mostly impenetrable armor surrounding the ranch. Currently, visitors to the ranch must walk or bike the beach from Gaviota Park State Beach during low tide, arrive by boat, or get invited by an owner. If the state prevails in court, though, that could change.

“We have an access plan,” said Coastal Commission staffer Linda Locklin, referring to the agency’s Hollister Ranch Access Program. Written in 1982, the 19-page document details phased-in day use that includes a pedestrian trail, bike path, shuttle van from a 100-spot parking lot located near Gaviota State Beach, and developed facilities (toilets, showers, drinking fountains, trash cans) at several designated beaches for a maximum of 500 visitors daily. “The plan [for Hollister Ranch] was adopted by two state agencies after two public hearings,” Locklin said.“When we move forward with opening public access sometime in the future, updating [or] modifying the plan would be entertained, but I have no idea where that might go. It’s impossible to predict at this point.”

According to Amerikaner, “The ranch has not taken a position on the general question of public access, but they have said clearly that the [YMCA] offer to dedicate [public access] is not acceptable and that the Coastal Commission’s public-access plan is not acceptable.”

On August 1, Sterne weighed further discussion from both sides; her final ruling is pending. A procedural hearing is set for n August 22.

She argued not only that family leave improves bonding between parents and children at a crucial time in childhood development but that such bonding also reduces the prevalence of postpartum depression among mothers. Six months of parental leave, she added, is common in Scandinavian countries, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Last year, Jackson introduced a far more sweeping family-leave bill, and that sailed through the Labor and Employment Committee with the backing of both Hernández and Chu. That bill would have guaranteed job protection for employees taking familyleave time, not just for newborn children but also to tend to ailing relatives. That bill was vetoed, however, by Governor Jerry Brown.

Some Sacramento insiders have questioned why Hernández and Chu could have supported last year’s more onerous bill while opposing this year’s less expansive measure.

This apparent discrepancy, they’ve suggested, indicates political retaliation. Chu pointed out that last year’s bill limited such protections to companies with 50 or more employees, not the smaller companies that Jackson is hoping to cover with SB 1166.

Others noted that Hernández has been so unpredictable over the years that it’s hard to attribute motivation to his actions with any precision.

The Hernández domestic saga has been a slow-motion train wreck that seems to only get worse with the passage of time.

And it was plenty bad to start with; in her filing for a restraining order, Rubio alleged Hernández assaulted her 20 times over the last three years; they’d been married the last 18 months. On one occasion, she charged, he’d choked her with a belt; in another he’d beat her with a broom; once he threatened her with a knife. Sometimes, she said, these assaults were accompanied by accusations of infidelity; in others, that she hadn’t been attentive enough.

In court, Hernández accused Rubio of fabricating these allegations, stating in documents, “I would never engage in the type of conduct the respondent has accused me of committing,” adding that he found domestic abuse to be “deplorable.” Rubio insisted the violence was sufficient to induce flashbacks.

She said he did not take legal action before for fear of hurting the couple’s political future. No criminal charges have been filed.

In 2012, a previous girlfriend of Hernández’s filed similar claims against him, alleging he whipped her with a belt, assaulting her twice. According to other media reports, prosecutors declined to pursue the case because there were no independent witnesses to corroborate the accusations.

Although the girlfriend withdrew her civil complaint, a restraining order was issued against Hernández.

In the July 30 ruling, the judge’s three-year restraining order requires Hernández to stay at least 100 feet away from Rubio. Immediately afterward, Hernández was stripped of his chairmanship and any leadership assignments by Assemblyleader Anthony Rendon.

For the Legislature, Hernández’s conduct raises seriously thorny issues. In June, voters approved a statewide ballot initiative

empowering the government to suspend the pay of legislators who engage in misconduct.

Nothing in the initiative, however, defined the level of misconduct required to trigger this level of financial rebuke.

Even Jackson is of multiple minds what the Legislature should do. “We should be above reproach,” she said. “We are already looked upon with a jaundiced eye.” Jackson acknowledged Hernández had not been charged with a crime, but she expressed belief in the allegations against him.“He had a full trial on the issues, and the judge did not believe him,” she said. “And for the most part, women have a very hard time coming forward when they are abused, so the idea she’s making this up doesn’t really wash.”

State Senator Jackson said it should be up to the Assembly leadership to decide whether Hernández’s pay should be suspended, not members of the Senate. That being said, she added,“If the Assembly leadership were to take that step, I would not be disappointed.”

Assemblyleader Rendon has publically urged Hernández to resign. But privately, some statehouse insiders have noted that Hernández’s vote could make the difference between success and failure on many bills between now and the legislative term’s expiration on September 1. As a practical matter, there will be little rush to impose financial sanctions. And given the perception that Hernández can be thin-skinned and vindictive, his fellow Democrats will be reluctant to even criticize him for fear of jeopardizing their own bills. Because he is about to be termed out of office in Sacramento, many feel little urgency to act. Not surprisingly, Republicans have been the most vocal in demanding Hernández’s pay be cut, though it’s unclear how hard they’re inclined to push the issue.

In the meantime, Jackson remains certain she will reintroduce SB 1166 in some fashion, claiming strong support from labor groups and women’s organizations. What form that will take, however, remains to be seen.

This November, Hernández is running for Congress against incumbent Democrat Grace Napolitano, having come in second in a three-way primary this June. His spousal-abuse issues will feature prominently in Napolitano’s campaign, as it did in the primary. Running to fill Hernández’s seat in the Assembly is Blanca Rubio, sister of Susan Rubio. n

Un-Chained: Un-Collared

DOUBLE-DISSED: Within one 24-hour period

this week, I managed to get swacked across the face with a cold, dead steelhead at least twice. Maybe three times, depending how you count. The first arrived late Monday evening in the form of a blue-glittered gift bag, with plumes of sparkled tissue paper billowing forth. Inside was the ageless mini-tome, How to Grow Old — its pages alternating between English and the original Latin — written by Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero back in 44 BCE. Accompanying this unsolicited life advice was an electric nose and ear trimmer. “Gifting” me this package was landlord-developer Ed St. George, who until recently had been proposing to turn his 97-unit apartment complex at Loma Alta and Cliff drives — known for years as Harbor Heights and now more festively as Beach City — into a 1,500-bed gargantuan Über-mega dorm for City College students.

These plans — and St. George’s gale-force sales pitch — galvanized white-hot opposition from some neighbors. In response, St. George announced a few weeks ago he was withdrawing the aforementioned plans even before submitting them. His critics had gone too far, he charged; they’d gotten too personal.

In fact, he threatened one with libel, slander, and defamation litigation if she didn’t cease and desist. She, in turn, accused St. George of harassment and intimidation. And she denied any trash-talking other than to include a blog post describing St. George as “demonstrably

unscrupulous” in an all-hands-on-deck letter mailed out to neighbors.

In Santa Barbara, all this qualifies as Big Deal news. Accordingly, I wrote about it.

I interpreted the St. George’s swag bag as a masterpiece of backhanded congeniality, a rictus smile gleaming with fresh lipstick.

No doubt I had it coming. St. George is just a little older than me, and during our interview, I suggested he must have had bowling balls surgically implanted into his calves and forearms. For the record, I admit to being

unduly aware of hi-def pulchritude when it comes to the calf muscles of others, and I was being genuine, sincere, and curious. But how was he to know? The nose-hair trimmer will no doubt come in handy, but I’m not so sure about the Cicero book. Based on Ed’s multiple inscriptions, he’d clearly given it away before. The first giftee, apparently, gave it back.

Cicero, among other things, was the ultimate buzzkill. “Nothing is as detestable or pernicious,” he wrote,“than sensual pleasure.” Little wonder that one year after publication, Mark Anthony had Cicero’s head and hands summarily chopped off and put on public display for all to see. That, apparently, did not get the message across. Mark Anthony’s wife reportedly yanked the tongue out of Cicero’s decapitated head and gouged it repeatedly with her hairpin.

Is there some subliminal message I should be getting here?

By contrast, there was nothing remotely

subliminal about the emails I got early the next morning from St. George’s critics.“Shame on you, Nick, for missing the real story,” wrote neighborhood activist Sue Mellor. I failed to note, she explained, the genuine grass-roots nature of neighborhood opponents who had collected 1,118 signatures to stop St. George and his dragon. Not to quibble, but I made explicit mention of 1,118 signatures. Normally, I reply “Thanks for writing” to such notes and move on. But I allowed myself to get bit, bent, and butt-hurt. I shot off a huffy, high-horsey response reeking with the bad cologne of righteous indignation. Mellor shared it with coconspirator Mike Bono, who suggested via email that St. George “fabricated” the alleged personal attacks and that I allowed myself to become St. George’s stooge by “reporting” such unsubstantiated allegations. (I did, in fact, interview the woman St. George threatened to sue.) “I don’t think you are ‘in St. George’s back pocket,’” Bono wrote.

“I just think you were (are) LAZY.” To demonstrate just how lazy I truly am, Bono noted with keen disapproval that I didn’t capitalize the first letter of the first word in any of my sentences — or even the pronoun “I,” or as he put it, “you know ‘the first person thing.’ ” For the record, I stopped capitalizing in email communications. It saves time.

I get it. We all desperately want rental housing until such time someone actually offers to build any. Then it becomes way too much of a good thing. Given the size and intensity of

St. George’s proposal, this is especially true.

And he’s hardly the only one. City Hall has systematically and programmatically allowed unprecedented densities and waived parking requirements to encourage developers to build rental housing that’s affordable to working families. So what do we get? At The Marc — an 89-unit exaltation of the Retro ’50s Hipster George Jetson Moderne School of Architecture located at State and La Cum-

bre — the starting rent for a 646-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment is $2, 445.Yikes! The most spacious two-bedroom goes for $3,125.

Admittedly, The Marc is so “amenity rich” it offers three outdoor courtyards. According to the promotional literature, one—the “Game Court”—offers a place where residents can “commune with a fire pit.” What does that even mean? The Marc demonstrates that City Hall needs to reserve the big breaks it dispenses, and the high densities it allows, for developers building genuinely affordable housing. As long as City Hall is willing to give away the store, we’ll get all the problems of high density with none of the benefits of affordability.

In the meantime, I discovered that one of my critics, Bono, works as an electrologist, meaning he’s trained in making unwanted body hair permanently disappear by zapping it electronically. Maybe if he can dispatch the unsightly hairs emanating from my nasal orifi, I can return the electric nostril-andear-hair trimmer St. George so generously gave me. The bad news is that I would still be “LAZY.” The good news is that I will no longer be in St. George’s hip pocket. — Nick Welsh

Peter Becker, 70, passed away peacefully at home in Santa Barbara on August 1, 2016, surrounded by people who love him. He was born on July 23, 1946, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the only child of James Milford and Mary Opal (Layne) Becker.

The family moved to La Jolla in 1956 where Peter grew up.

They spent many wonderful summers in London and traveled the world as much as they could. He attended Webb School in Claremont as a freshman and sophomore, and then transferred to La Jolla Country Day School, graduating in 1964. It was during his adolescent years in La Jolla that he designed his first house, which his parents built and which became the family home.

In 1968 Peter graduated from UCSB as a rhetoric and public address major. He spent the next ten years in Santa Barbara working in residential construction; it was during that time he decided to pursue his dream of being an architect. He attended the University of Colorado in Denver and was granted a master’s degree in architecture in 1981.

After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles and worked closely with Charles Moore, his architectural hero. After that he worked two years with Frank Gehry, and then spent four more formative years as a senior associate at Lehrer Architects.

Eventually he felt the call to move back to Santa Barbara and start his own architectural practice, which he did in 1990. Peter moved his office to the historic Flying A Studio in 1998, where he continued to practice residential architecture with great passion until his passing.

Peter approached all he did with joy and enthusiasm, and was an incredibly kind and loyal friend to very many people. He was a man of rare wit, intel-

ligence, spirituality, generosity, and style. He will be missed terribly by all who were touched by his remarkable character and energy.

Peter is survived by his loving wife, Julie, with whom he spent sixteen happy years; countless close friends and family members; and his loyal collie, Ned. There was a memorial service for Peter at the Santa Barbara Cemetery, on Sunday, August 7.

The service was held in the cemetery chapel designed by George Washington Smith, one of Peter’s favorite architects.

In lieu of flowers, it was Peter’s wish that a donation be made to one of his two favorite charities, the Seva Foundation or SEE International.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to Visiting Nurses and Hospice Care, 509 E. Montecito Street Suite 200, Santa Barbara, Ca 93103.

Funeral services will be held at San Roque Catholic Church, 3200 Calle Cedro on Saturday, August 13, at 11:00am.

Virginia (Prato) Talevi 03/22/21-07/29/16

Virginia passed away peacefully on July 29, 2016, at the age of 95. She was born on March 22, 1921, in Santa Barbara to Battista (Bob) and Jean Prato. The oldest of three children, she attended Santa Barbara High School and graduated in 1940. She met and married Ubaldo Talevi in 1942.

While he was in the service she worked at Trenwiths, and later on in life she was a Van de Kamp lady.

She was very active in PTA, the Mothers Club, St. Francis Guild, Italian American Boot Club and the UFCW 1013 retirement club.

100 Percent

T

his November, voters will decide the future of reproductive rights in this country, which is why we not only need a strong champion like Hillary Clinton in the White House but also need to elect champions up and down the ballot.

The Planned Parenthood Central Coast Action Fund has proudly endorsed Salud Carbajal for Congress. In addition to a 100 percent rating on reproductive-rights issues, Carbajal has demonstrated consistent public support for access to sex education as well as reproductive-health services, including access to safe and legal abortion. In 2003, he served on the local Planned Parenthood affiliate’s Board of Directors, and in 2008, he received our Action Fund’s Giraffe Award for “Sticking His Neck Out” with his outspoken support of our campaign for Teen Safety.

For nine terms, Congressmember Lois Capps has proudly represented the Central Coast. When she retires, she’ll leave behind a legacy of protecting access to reproductive-health-care services that includes ushering in the legislation that expanded access to birth control under the Affordable Care Act. Fortunately, Salud Carbajal is ready to carry on her legacy.

Over the last five months, Congress has taken 18 votes to restrict women’s access to health care. With so much at stake in this election, we need leaders who will advance women’s health policies, not curtail them.

There is only one candidate in our local congressional race who will advocate for and protect reproductivehealth-care rights, and that is Salud Carbajal.

eaders are accustomed to Nick Welsh telling it like it is, no holds barred. But he missed the boat with his story about Ed St. George’s excuse for pulling the plug on his grandiose dormitory project [independent.com/pullsplug]. I have participated in all

phases of this effort and never heard any sort of the comments St. George alleges.

The story failed to credit the many area residents who gave their time, energy, and talents to oppose St. George’s plans. This was a grass-roots effort with no professional help. It was residents who prepared and circulated the petitions, wrote the flyers, and made the posters. It was residents who set up tables and exhibits at Shoreline Park, obtained over 1,118 signatures, set up a website and visited city officials and SBCC trustees, wrote letters, attended meetings, and much more. The point had to be made that this was not just a problem for the folks living close to the college but for all Santa Barbarans.

Residents beat back the heavy-handed St. George for now, even when he sent his attorney to threaten them with a lawsuit. He tried and failed. Rather than admit his own wrongdoings, he threw in the towel with a lame excuse. You missed the real story.

‘Weak’ for Trump

D

onald Trump called Jeb Bush “tired.” It was a very effective strategy. Repeat something over and over, and people will pretty soon begin to believe. It’s time for Hillary Clinton to take advantage of that workable line of attack and come up with an apt description for Trump —“weak”!

Sure, Clinton could describe him as narcissistic, a bully, immoral, dishonest, irreligious, uninformed, ill-prepared, insensitive, manipulative, thin-skinned, indecisive, a flip-flopper, and a threat to the American way of life. That’s how even members of his own political party describe him.

Besides, Donald Trump is under the illusion he is strong and powerful. “Weak” will drive him crazy!

Hot Crime Fiction for Summer Reading

BEAT THE HEAT: When the mercury hits 75 and keeps climbing, Santa Barbarans tend to escape town or bury themselves in escape reading.

Okay, so what if we wouldn’t make it in Bakersfield (with the accent on “bake”) or Scottsdale or any other place where, as Noel Coward sang, only “mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun”?

We like our climate moderate, as well as our politics. So as we nervously await the fall’s onslaught of unpresidential cross fire (the real nastiness is yet to come, I fear), we can sit back and relish the remaining weeks of shady page-turning.

And what would summer reading be without crime, the gorier the better for many an otherwise genteel South Coast soul? Why ordinary folks who recoil from headlines of senseless mayhem relish a daily fictional diet of death, destruction, and daggers I don’t know. But each season brings a potpourri of tempting titles. Example taken at random: Let the Devil Out, Bill Loehfelm’s thriller about tough New Orleans beat cop Maureen Coughlin.

As the book opens, she’s in rough shape, just a rookie on the NOPD force, and things are about to get worse. New Orleans, with its “steamy charms and seamy sins,” as the Dallas Morning News dubbed the town, is a favorite of crime novelists, including Julie Smith, my

old pal from the News-Press who now lives there. I just discovered her dusty Crescent City Kill (1997) on my bookshelf. It follows the adventures of NOPD homicide investigator Skip Langdon. (So now I’ve got to reread it again.)

Making The Booklist Reader’s list of the top crime novels of 2016 is a debut entry by Bill Beverly: Dodgers, not about the baseball team but a 15-year-old L.A. gang member named East. He’s with a crew driving to Wisconsin to kill a witness in a case against his boss. The reviews are great.

I know people who steadfastly refuse to read fiction, preferring books about what real life inflicts on us. Case in point is David Talbot’s 620-page The Devil’s Chessboard, chronicling Allen Dulles’s long, dark CIA regime during which the assassination of foreign leaders and overthrow of governments went along with manipulating U.S. presidents. So now, a half century later, we learn more about what our government was up to on the sly.

But the heat being what it is, I laid it aside to search for less nauseating reading. Passing Debra Tutor’s free curbside San Roque library, I spotted good old John le Carré’s (David Cornwell) The Night Manager (1993 but a good one), a cracking good tale of espionage.

For those who lust for fresh meat, the New York Times packed its “Summer Thrills” book-review section with blood-soaked loads

of newly minted crime reading.

Most seemed to dwell on international mayhem, and if London didn’t exist, I wonder if many authors wouldn’t know where to come up with a crime scene. Why has London, with all its well-mannered folk, become such a sinister killing zone?

Hangover from the Jack the Ripper era, I guess.

Here’s a quick glance at recent (or about-tobe published) crime reading: Brit police officer turned crime writer Clare Mackintosh has won the Theakston Old Peculier crime novel of the year award for her debut I Let You Go. The New York Times calls it “genuinely shocking.”

James Patterson (with Michael Ledwidge), who must write 10 books a year, is out with Bullseye.“Caught in the crosshairs of a deadly standoff, detective Michael Bennett must kill … or be killed.”

And it wouldn’t be a good year without old favorite James Lee Burke, who’s out with

CRAFTY DEVILS: Plot twists and sinister mayhem make crime novels innocent fun in the shade of a tree.

House of the Rising Sun, following exploits of the Holland family.

Hackberry Holland, onetime Texas Ranger and on-again, offagain drunk, launches a quest to save his son from an evil arms dealer.

Scandinavians are all over the crime scene these days. The Swede by Robert Karjel probes the morally ambiguous (of course) world of justice. The FBI seeks the help of Swedish security officer Ernst Grip in determining the nationality of the mysterious N. And what about that New York art heist?

Keep reading until the autumn leaves fall, vote, and get back to the more satisfying world that awaits between the pages.

willie rodriguez The Retirement of a Citizen

W

illie Rodriguez,, a working-class Santa Barbara native born on the Dos Pueblos Ranch 85 years ago, retired last week after working at Willie’s Barber Shop on Figueroa Street for almost 60 years.

His retirement is akin to the Courthouse closing or Stearns Wharf falling into the ocean. Willie is so authentic and so legendary that it hardly seems possible that there could be a downtown Santa Barbara without him.

But Willie’s retirement is not a story of loss.

This is not a lament about the Santa Barbara that once was. Willie may be retiring, but the shop and the family legacy that he built does not end. WilWil lie’s oldest son, Gilbert Rodriguez Sr., has worked with him for 13 years and will continue at the shop.

And Willie’s own chair? That’s being taken over by grandson Gilbert Rodriguez Jr. What’s more, two of Willie’s granddaughters are now studying for their beautician licenses and may also start taking shifts soon, bringing female barbers into the shop for the first time. That means Santa Barbara could easily see another 60 years of flattops and wash-and-wears— and since about 10 years ago, fades — delivered with a smile, some good gossip, and a caring ear by members of the Rodriguez family.

As such, this is that all-too-rare story about the building of a living link between Santa Barbara’s agrarian past and a future in which solid legacy businesses — and the communities that they create — persevere in times of rapid change.

Like so many small municipalities worldwide, Santa Barbara has witnessed many of its cherished shops lose their viability to escalating rents, big-box stores, and the convenience of shopping online. Music stores, bookstores, and record stores are dropping one by one. Thankfully, for the Rodriguez family and the rest of us, you still can’t get a haircut delivered overnight by Amazon.

And while there are plenty more fancy old-time barbershops in Santa Barbara, ones that are clean and shiny and turn a dime on their classic ambience, Willie’s is just Willie’s, a regular joint with empty soda cans in the front window and three old chairs on the sidewalk where the barbers take their breaks. Judges and sheriffs sit side by side with street people, the waiting bench is always stocked with newspapers for passing the time, a man’s haircut is still just 18 bucks, and after a cut is complete, Willie still uses a vacuum cleaner to lift the fallen hair from a client’s shoulders.

Gilbert Sr. explains the shop’s appeal: “It’s a no-frills place.

We’re not going to try to sell men anything, and sometimes we don’t even talk. Sometimes the man will fall asleep when we are cutting his hair ’cause he’s so relaxed. And then there are times they come in with all kinds of concerns, and so we talk a lot. Sometimes maybe they just lost someone in their family, and so we feel that with them. It’s a place that’s unusual because there you are, inches away from another guy, talking about personal things, sometimes life-changing things, which doesn’t happen anywhere else.”

A Thoroughly Santa Barbara Story of

Family, Commerce, and Barbering

by Russ Spencer

And even though Willie’s will go on, there will never be, there could never be, another Willie.

The last time Willie got sick was in 1957. In the nearly 60 years he worked at the shop, he took a few days off, but he never took a real vacation. He had seen the world while in the U.S. Air Force, between 1950 and 1955, and after he started at the shop in 1957, he thought to himself, Okay, time to settle into a routine. And this is what he came up with: Before his five-day workweek would start on Tuesday morning, he’d stop and get five breakfast burritos. He’d get to work at around 6 a.m. and put the burritos in the fridge. Then he’d walk a block and half for a cup of coffee and a piece of Mexican bread, bring them back to the shop, sit in his barber chair, eat the bread, sip the coffee, and read the Santa Barbara and Los Angeles papers.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS: In 1957, the legendary Willie Rodriguez (far left) started barbering on Figueroa Street, making the shop his own in just six years.

Willie was 31 years old, had recently married, and charged just $1 for a cut. Filling out the roster that year were (from left) Dor Sanchez, Jess Martinez, and Danny Ramirez.

Then he’d turn the chair backward, put a blanket over himself, and fall back asleep for an hour, until Gilbert Sr. showed up at around 8:45 a.m. Then he’d gather his barber parapara phernalia together, and at 9 a.m. he was on his feet, wrapping the paper collar around his first customer’s neck and getting to work. At lunch — every day— day — he ate one of the breakfast burbur ritos. Then he went back to work until 4:30 p.m., swept up, locked the door, and drove home.

After his wife, Celia, passed in 1999, he altered his routine a bit. Before going home, he’d grab a sandwich.

He made all of his phone calls from the shop landline because he didn’t have a phone at home and still doesn’t own a cell phone.

Willie’s father, Jose Rodriguez, immigrated to Santa Barbara in 1917 from the Michoacán region of Mexico. He met his wife, Rosario, a few years later, and they settled at the Dos Pueblos Ranch, a Spanish land grant parcel set right on the ocean 20 miles north of town. He worked avocados and beans and fathered eight kids, five of whom—three whom boys and two girls—are still alive and living in Santa Barbara. All except Willie are now over the age of 90.

After a long day of farming, Willie’s father would attend night school to learn English, and when Willie was 11 years old, he moved the family into town. Willie attended public schools, graduating from Santa Barbara High in 1950. Along the way, he worked odd jobs at classic old places such as the Blue Onion, where he was a dishwasher. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1950 and served five years as a mechanic, rising to airman first class. He traveled to places such as the Philippines and Hong Kong, was discharged in 1955, and moved back to his hometown. All three of his brothers also served in the military.

After the service, Willie went to barber school. He landed his first job in 1956, at a now-closed State Street establishment named Frank’s Barbershop, owned by proprietor Frank Herrera. In those days the barbers sharpened their razors with stones and mostly offered crew cuts and flattops, although men in those days had also begun to discover more fashionable cuts like the Princeton, the boogie, and what was known as the flattop with fenders.

Within a year, Willie had moved to his current location on Figueroa Street between State and Chapala. He began by charging $1 a cut. He was naturally introverted, he said, but “learned to talk.” He kept up with sports and honed his trademark conversation starters: binders with old photos of Santa Barbara, and a pair of foot-long hedge clippers, which, if the conversation really lagged, he could employ as a gag.

Although the shop was cleaned up by request of his landlord a year ago, it historically had money from international customers tacked to the wall, athletic trophies earned by his kids on the old cash register, an Our Lady of Guadalupe figurine, model airplanes, a sword Willie brought back from the Philippines, a big hairball in a shaving mug, a painting of the Tetons that originally hung in the Rodriguez living room, a toupee to place on customers who requested a haircut that made them look like a movie star, and lots of gifts that had

been brought in over the years. It felt like someone’s living room.

In 1955, during Santa Barbara’s signature celebration, Old Spanish Days Fiesta, Willie met a strong, loving, pretty young woman named Celia.

They were both celebrating on State Street and taking stock of those they might find attractive and suitable, as young adults have for ages. In their case, the stars aligned. Within a year, Willie and Celia had married.

They found a $50-per-month loft apartment downtown, where they lived until they had their first son, Gilbert, and then Willie bought a house on the Mesa that he still owns. They had three more children and raised them there.

All four of Willie’s kids still live in Santa Barbara. Collectively, they’ve had 14 children and eight grandchildren. Like Willie’s Barber Shop, the Rodriguez family is itself now a Santa Barbara institution, one of the thousands of families here that don’t make the news and aren’t seen in the cafés, but who build their own close-knit world of integrity and support one day at a time. Willie’s may be timeless, but that’s undoubtedly because the business and the Rodriguez family were built on timeless values.

“Being Hispanic, we do everything together,” Gilbert Sr. said. “We hang out together.

It’s just how we do things.” In addition to large, festive family gatherings for holidays, Gilbert Sr. said, his mom would organize a barbecue at their house every weekend in the days of his youth, a ritual that helped build trusting relationships within the family and with friends and neighbors.“My mom would call Willie at work on Saturday and say, ‘I need 300 bucks for the barbecue,’ and when he would get home, the place would be crawling with people,” he said. “People would just walk in and make themselves at home. That’s no exaggeration.”

The approach to living that nested in Gilbert Sr. and his siblings was this, he said:“Share love. Share what you have. Give what you have. That’s what we operated on.”

3DEEP® Body Contouring + Tightening PROUD: Three generations of Rodriguez barbers ensure that the legacy Willie Rodriguez (center) built on hard work, good barbering, and a lot of breakfast burritos will continue. Gilbert Rodriguez Sr. (left) started at the shop 11 years ago, and Gilbert Rodriguez Jr. came on this month. Below, Willie Rodriguez, sometimes known as the mayor of Figueroa Street, greets one of the neighborhood locals.

To that end, Willie’s Barber Shop has also been a way station for folks in that area who might be down on their luck. Even if they weren’t getting a haircut, neighborhood regulars were allowed to come in and use the phone if they needed it. Willie would give loans to people and not expect the money to be returned.

Sometimes the loan would be a hundred dollar bill, and sometimes a lot more, no questions asked. Willie befriended a man who collects recyclables, so between customers, Willie could be seen out on the sidewalk

picking cans and bottles out of a waste receptacle. Here was a successful businessperson who wasn’t beyond reaching into a garbage can to help out a neighbor who was trying to pull himself up.

Willie’s longevity and gentle ways made him something of an unofficial mayor, if not for all of Santa Barbara, then definitely for his block of Figueroa. Men who were just kids when they got their first cut from Willie are now bringing in their grandsons. It seems as if everyone who passes his front window looks in and gives a smile and a wave. He’s from the generation when men called men by their last names, and so that’s what he still does, with regular customers or neighborhood friends, calling out to them as they

pass by, ribbing them about something. Hey, Welsh, you look like you’re slowing down. Hey, Jones, how’s the dancing going?

Willie took up hiking at age 77. He likes the Romero Canyon, Cold Spring, and Hot Springs Canyon trails.

He goes up there on most Sundays. He’s not interested in slowing down. He’ll be providing cuts to customers who are housebound or in convalescent homes. But he said he’s also feeling that he doesn’t want to be in the shop anymore, full-time at least. “I used to be able to do the haircuts, and now it’s gotten so hard [that] it’s more of a job than I really want to do,” he said.“It was better when it was just a regular haircut.

You take it off around the ears, taper the back, or shear cut the back, take care of the top, trim the neck, and it’s done.”

Willie himself admits that after almost 60 years, it won’t be easy for him to stay away — he’ll still be glad to fill in when needed or if his son or grandson need some time off.

God knows that after missing only one or two days of work in decades of service, he deserves some time off, too. Gilbert Sr. reports Willie’s still in from time to time on his days off, putting in new lights or in some other small way improving the place. And truth be told, even though Willie officially retired in mid-July, he’s decided to come into work on Tuesday and Friday afternoons just to be there, for now, at least.

Which is in itself reassuring. It’s good to know that there will still be times when Willie will be at Willie’s.

He’ll be watching the block of Figueroa that he’s been watching for nearly 60 years, honoring the value of that time and his own contribution to the place and keeping tabs on customers and the people who once relied on his generosity of spirit for their safety and livelihood.

And being with family.

QUESTION: Is flossing really that important?

A Very Special Evening With

ANSWER: Yes! Aside from cleaning in between your teeth

KARLA BONOFF

and reducing your risk of gum disease, removing that bacteria has a correlation with your systemic health.

Flossing has been found to: o Reduce your risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes o Increase your life span by 6.4 years o Improve your breath o Reduce chronic inflammation

AUGUST

Did you know that the plaque that is found in your mouth is the same plaque that is found in your arteries? If you cannot use standard floss, there are a variety of holders, threaders, interdental brushes and water flossers available to help you get in between your teeth. Just find which technique works best for you. Your mouth and body will thank you!

One of the finest singer-songwriters of her generation, Karla Bonoff has seen many of her songs become pop classics and hits for such stellar artists as Wynonna Judd, Bonnie Raitt, and Linda Ronstadt.

This year the taste of pancakes and maple syrup was bittersweet, thanks to news that this summer’s Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast at Alameda Park could be the last. For more than 40 years, the rotary club has been holding the event to gather funds for S.B.-area projects, scholarships, and grants. “This year’s turnout has been great, but it might be due to the news that this is our last Pancake Breakfast,” said club member Tim Smith. “The charge for the park is very expensive, and not every year’s turnout is as great.”

Sunglasses

Blue Planet Eyewear’s Matt Weinstein and Lisa Lawenda

Blue plA l net eyewe lA eyeweA yeweAr

lue Planet Eyewear’s line of stylish yet low-cost sunglasses and readers started as a passion project in the Santa Barbara garage of the late David Weinstein almost 40 years ago. But it’s since grown into an eco-minded, Carpinteria-based company that continues to thrive as “my saving grace in life,” according to his son, Matt Weinstein.

The elder Weinstein first began making Blue Gem Sunglasses in 1982, and the brand soon became known for a diverse collection of styles and frames. In 2009, he decided that there was a better way to handle the massive amounts of waste involved in manufacturing. So he created new glasses out of all the postconsumer material and dubbed it Blue Planet Eyewear. “He wanted to do a better job creating a line that was eco-friendly and better for the environment,” said Matt Weinstein, who is now brand manager for Blue Planet. Today, the glasses are all made from recycled plastics or metals that are nickel-free, which reduces toxic byproducts. They also use non-lead paints and offer many frames made from sustainable bamboo.

The company enjoys being headquartered in seaside Carpinteria.

“We love Carp,” Weinstein said. “All of our eyewear is designed with our beach lifestyle in mind.”

In addition to Blue Planet’s environmental charge, the company takes social responsibility one step further by sponsoring school fundraisers and beach cleanups. But its primary charitable program is called Visualize Change; for every frame sold, Blue Planet donates a pair of glasses to someone in need through partnerships with charities like SEE International, Direct Relief, Feed the Children, and the Best Day Foundation. To date, Blue Planet has donated more than 150,000 pairs of glasses to people in need in the U.S. and world. Explained Weinstein, “I wanted it to be something where someone can feel good about what they’re purchasing, not only from an environmental standpoint but also knowing that their purchase is helping another person in need.”

Growing up, Weinstein didn’t necessarily think he’d be running his dad’s sunglasses company. While backpacking around the world in 2012, he was working at an orphanage in Africa when he got a phone call from home informing him that his father had been diagnosed with cancer. After six months taking care of his father until he passed away, Matt was quite involved in the company. “I ended up falling in love with what I was doing,” said Weinstein, whose mother, Deborah Weinstein, has taken over her late husband David’s role as president.

His wife, Lisa Lawenda, is vice president of sales for Blue Gem, which remains Blue Planet’s parent company, and the two now design all the frames in Blue Planet’s line. The couple just recently celebrated the birth of their baby boy. Matt Weinstein credits his father’s company and his wife’s support for grounding him and bringing him home. “It gave me a future,” he said.

— Gilberto Flores

Blue Planet’s glasses can be purchased online at shopblueplaneteyewear.com or at retailers such as Plum Goods on State Street.

Hey!

I

Can I Get an Epidural Here?

t happened again. I wake with my sheets wound round me, legs akimbo, pulse spazzy. I’m fresh from a fight with something I know I can’t beat. It’s 4 a.m. and everyone else in the family is asleep. Our bedrooms are close, and through thin walls, I hear my kids not stirring. Not flopping around on creaky springs. Not doing battle as I am.

Downstairs, our living quarters amble generously through wideopen rooms, but upstairs our three small bedrooms are smooshed side by side by side like hideaway nests. Perched above the bustling world with its snapping predators, careless traffic, and vexing noise, the cozy tree house where we slumber in proximity is quiet and still. Warm and laundry-scented. Closely knit.

For literally thousands of mornings, I’ve opened my eyes to the sunlit, soul-settling certainty that the people who matter most to me are within earshot of a groggy-but-grateful “G’ morney!” Even when I wake from predawn nightmares, their collective presence offers deep and immediate comfort. It’s an absolute: As sure as the sun will rise, my boys are near me, curled up, tucked in, at ease and at peace.

But that’s about to change. My son Stone, the subject of my very first column 16 years ago, leaves for college across the country in two weeks.

All summer, friends have been checking in. “Soooo … are you okay?” Yeah!

“Freaking out?” Naw, I’m good! Exciting times! So stoked for him! All under control! Let’s do this!

As my punctuation divulges, though, I’m not okay. I’m freaking out.

Honestly, it feels like giving birth again — only I’m pushing for three months.

My child is being physically removed from me. To sleep on the other side of our tumultuous nation. Where I won’t know if he’s sleeping peacefully. Or if he’s hungry. Or lonely.

To cope, I’m shopping — obsessively email: starshine@roshell.com collecting tiny versions of anything he might ever need in life: itty-bitty stain spray, Cortaid stick, Kind bars, 1.5-oz. sunscreen, Emergen-C packets, pocket umbrella, mini-stapler.

He’s horrified, of course.

But I think maybe if I send enough “home” along with him — the caregiving, owie-fixing, shiver-preventing, frustration-banishing parts of home — then this separation won’t feel so violent to me. If I can’t know that he’s safe in his nest next door, then I want — no, I need — to know that he’s at home in the great big world. With, you know, travelsize provisions.

You should have seen his face when I brought home the teensyweensy sewing kit. “I mean … Mom,” he started, eager to discourage me without utterly unhinging me; it’s a delicate line just now. “I don’t even know how to sew.”

I meant to teach him how. I thought there’d be time. There isn’t.

There were movies I was sure we’d watch together one day. I can see now we won’t.

When Stone was a baby and we spent hour after hour after hour after hour after hour staring at each other on the sofa … just making exhausted faces and exasperated sounds at one another … waiting ’til it was time to eat again … or nap again … or cry again (first him, then me; we took turns), people said, “Enjoy it! It goes by so fast.” And I thought hateful things about them, wondering why they’d waste precious energy saying something so stupid when they could say something useful like, “Please can I hold your child for 9 to 11 minutes so you can go bathe the sad sack that used to be your body?”

But look at that: Time’s up. Off he’ll go, begrudgingly lugging a shoebox stuffed with trinkets and tinctures of home, while I sit trying to remember my Lamaze breathing and hoping it’ll do more good this time around.

Until then, I’ll probably keep startling awake in the dark again and again, in some subconscious preparation for mornings to come — when a croaked “G’ morney” will fall on two ears fewer, in a tree house with one empty nest.

Husband and Wife Go for Golds

t was a breezy April morning at the Westmont College track-and-field complex. Barbara Nwaba, the U.S. heptathlon champion, was practicing javelin throws under the scrutiny of her coach, Josh Priester of the Santa Barbara Track Club. For two visiting athletes, Ashton Eaton and his wife, Brianne Theisen-Eaton, it was time to run.

Eaton did fast strides on the straightaway.“Relax the shoulders, Ash,” shouted his coach, Harry Marra. “Feel smooth.

Keep it there. Stay in rhythm.”

Theisen-Eaton’s workout was focused on a 300-meter time trial. “Have some fun, Bri,” Marra said before the threequarter-lap sprint that would suck the oxygen out of her lungs. She sped around the track without faltering.

“Thirty-six-oh-four,” Marra said, reading his stopwatch. “She didn’t run that fast until July last year.”

It was all going according to plan. TRACK AND FIELD OF DREAMS: Pictured training at Westmont, Brianne Theisen-Eaton and Ashton Eaton head to the Rio Olympics to compete in the heptathlon and decathlon, respectively.

peril caught up with Eaton on May 20 in Ostrava, Czech Republic. He was going to race Usain Bolt in the 100 meters, but he pulled out after straining a quad in the long jump.

For the next month, preceding the U.S. Olympic trials, he trained gingerly.

“Every workout was smooth,” Marra said. “Our plan was to go mild in the trials. He went mild. He didn’t do any more than necessary. He’ll be ready to blow the doors off in Rio.” But first, Theisen-Eaton will try to loosen the hinges. n

FINCH & FORK INTRODUCES NEW LEAD BARTENDER: Finch & Fork restaurant at 31

West Carrillo Street has named Santa Barbara newcomer Joe Dohany as lead bartender. The restaurant has appointed Dohany with designing seasonal menus that speak to his holistic approach to bartending, as well as the menu at Finch & Fork.

For Dohany’s debut menu, guests can expect a half dozen originals that are reflective of the season and the locale. He suggests you try the balanced Witch’s Back, with Bulldog gin, Strega orange liqueur, Pamplemousse Rose, lime, and orange bitters, or the Buzz Around Town, with lavender– infused Tanqueray gin, blackberry, honey, lemon, and soda water.

true myth & abalone true balone

he Nivens are one of the pioneering families in the Edna Valley of southern San Luis Obispo County, where they started planting chardonnay, pinot noir, and more in their Paragon Vineyard back in 1973. True Myth is the family’s newest, stylish, and affordably priced brand, and they’re breaking new ground again by selling their crowd-pleasing, tropical-leaning chardonnay in a package with fresh shellfish from the Cayucos Abalone Company just up the coast.

The package includes eight ounces of red abalone (complete with pretty shells), a disposable grill topper, Chardonnay Smoked Sea Salt from Pasolivo in Paso Robles, and two recipes, one for classic grilled abs and the other a crostini-based side dish by author Kendra Aronson, who wrote The San Luis Obispo Farmers’ Market Cookbook. And, of course, there’s the bottle of chardonnay to wash it all down. It’s $95 total, but you can usually find the wine itself for $18 or less at stores all around the state.

Martin Short Steve Martin Join Forces Ed Grimley Creator Talks Comedy, Friendship, and Tour

W

hen you think of revered comedy duos, some familiar names come to mind— Laurel and Hardy, Cheech and Chong, Key and Peele, Bert and Ernie. Now you can add a new pair to the list: Martin and Short — Steve Martin and Martin Short, that is.

Okay, maybe the two legendary funnymen aren’t forming a permanent couple, but with their national tour of stand-up, sketch comedy, music, improv, and other antics, which they’ll bring to the S.B. Bowl on Sunday, August 14, they’ll make for a memorable pair.

Martin and Short became a comedy team by happenstance. “We started off —I think it was 2012 — when we were asked to close the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Chicago just interviewing each other,” explained Short in a recent phone call with The Santa Barbara Independent. “And we did that, and it was very funny and loose because we know each other so well and we’re very comfortable with each other. And we thought ‘Gee, that was fun,’ so we did it again. And then we thought,‘Gee, we should add this puppet piece’ or ‘we should add this’ or ‘we should do that.’ So we ended up taking maybe the best of each other’s shows and combining them.” The end result is their variety affair, billed as An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life.

Short and Martin met in 1986 on the set of cult film ¡Three Amigos! in which the actors, along with Chevy Chase, played former film stars who are mistaken for American heroes

by a small Mexican community. The two hit it off and have been close ever since. “It started in ¡Three Amigos! but it certainly continued,” Short said. “Movies are interesting: You are in this intense environment day after day, 12-14 hours a day, and then sometimes you never see those people again. And sometimes you make a conscientious decision to see those people again.”

In addition to Martin, Short’s inner circle has included some of the most impressive comedic talents of a generation. As an unknown actor in Toronto, Short made friends with other undiscovered folks such as Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, and Paul Shaf Shaffer, to name a few. It was a ripe and changing time in the world of comedy, and all of his early crew went on to national fame. “So many people have asked me about [those friends],” said Short. “They want to know what it was about that group [that made them so successful]. The only thing that I’ve pondered about was that there was a kind of comedy that hadn’t been tapped into. I mean, in 1974, there was this touring version of National Lampoon, and it was Gilda and Billy Murray and Brian Murray and Joe Flaherty and Harold Ramis and John Belushi.”

So when Lorne Michaels decided to start the variety sketch show Saturday Night Live in 1975, he had a pool of cutting-edge comics to choose from for the cast.

During his career, Short has created some memorable characters, including Ed Grim-

ley and Jiminy Glick—an innocent and a moron, respectively. “I always thought that Ed was someone who [as an adult] never became jaded by anything in his life,” Short said. “Like even [when he gets] a phone call, he says, ‘Gee, I love the phone; there’s always a sense of mystery,’ before he answers it. We might have felt that once when we were 6, but he still feels it.” As for the sharp-tongued Glick, Martin admitted that “sometimes I can’t believe the things I say when I see the edit back. [I think] ‘Oh my god.’”

Glick and other favorite Short incarnations often appear onstage during Martin and Short’s comedy evening. Attendees can also expect music and chatting and audience participation. Martin will perform with his band, The All Male Bluegrass Boys, and Short will bust out some tunes, as well. “It’s going to be music, chat, and … we will go in the audience and turn three guys into the Three Amigos … It’s all very loose and a very funny show.”

For their Santa Barbara stop, the two will be joined by a “special celebrity hip guest that I can’t announce,” confessed Short. “And it’s Steve’s birthday. I mean what more do you want?” Indeed.

Jeff Beck

Santana

Guitar god and ex-Yardbird Jeff Beck triumphantly returns with an ace record that reflects the tumultuous times in which we live. Kicking the disc off with the fuzzed-out, bluesy jam “The Revolution Will Be Televised,” Beck signals his intentions while simultaneously tipping his hat to the late, great Gil Scott-Heron as well as everyday people demanding equal rights and justice. Rosie Bones provides sultry vocals on Beck’s riff-tastic, humanist anthem “Live in the Dark” and keeps pumping heat throughout the album. Other boss tunes include the whammy, pitch-bending “Right Now,” the woeful “Scared for the Children,” the soulful “Shame,” and the down ’n’ dirty “Thugs Club”— Club” which calls out Bush, Cheney, Murdoch, and Fox News for bringing us the mess that is contemporary reality. (Jeff Beck plays Chumash Casino Resort Thursday, August 11.)

—Sean Mageean

Santana IV finds the classic Woodstock-era iteration of the band back in full effect: Carlos Santana, Gregg Rolie, Neal Schon, Michael Shrieve, and Mike Carabello (who last played together on 1971’s number one hit album Santana III), along with current bandmembers Benny Rietveld and Karl Perazzo. The disc also features outstanding guest vocals on two choice cuts —“Love Makes the World Go Round” and “Freedom in Your Mind”— by soul legend Ronald Isley. As expected, Santana IV brings the legit Latin rock, Afro-Cuban polyrhythms, and epic Santana jams, and Carlos and his band of brujos succeed splendidly in rekindling the old “Black Magic Woman” sonic sorcery and enchanting the faithful. On the whole, Santana IV is a worthy addition to the group’s potent legacy.

anne Hall Goes from

SalSa to SongWriting On Saturday, August 13, Santa Barbara singer/songwriter Anne Hall and her band, The Remarkables, will play a release show for her new album of soul and R&B originals and covers, Wonderful Wonderful, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, and though it may be the first time her creations meet your ears, it may not be the first of her concoctions to greet your sensory receptors. Hall has already put her name on the area culinary scene with a line of salsas, Mesa Salsa Co., based on passed-down salsa recipes she developed with her daughter, Ali Altamirano.

Like the salsas, Hall’s music has smoky and spicy notes, with a sultry, glamorous late-night-lounge vibe, featuring lush production from John Baffa at Brotheryn Studios in Ojai. But it’s her voice, with its notes of sweetness, which stands out most. “Music to me has always been a calling to my soul,” she said. “As a kid I was a big fan of the classic soul sound of Billie Holiday, Otis Redding, Etta James, and Sam Cooke, and now I’m trying to combine all that with a modern twist.” She hung around fellow musicians as a teen, but with motherhood to come not long after high school, her musical ambitions were put on hold.

Arriving here took some patience, she said, particularly with the development of the album — which took a year to record and release — but she learned to enjoy the process. “Before, I’d always want to get to the next end point and the next end point, always with this self-defeating battle going on in my head.

This was about taking a step back and calming down and enjoying every step,” she said.

Saturday’s show should be a great chance to step back, calm down, and unwind, and who knows? There may be some spare salsa to share. Anne Hall & The Remarkables play Saturday, August 13, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). Lynette Gaona opens at 6 p.m. Call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com.

BACALL shOWiNG REsPECT: Yukmouth says Mac Dre unified the Bay Area hip-hop scene and laments the more individualistic approach musicians take today.

The Mac Gives Back

Key Largo

by Richie DeMaria Thizz is iT: When Bay Area hip-hop masters sleep Dank and Yukmouth host a tribute to their mentor and friend Mac Dre this Friday, August 12, it will be as a way of showing love to the man whom they remember as a lifesaver and career booster for many East Bay rappers.“The reason I started doing it is to keep my boy’s name alive,” said Sleep Dank, who started hosting Mac Dre tribute shows around California in 2013. “I was the guy in the street selling all the drugs, and I thought that was where my life was headed. He got me out of selling drugs; he taught me how to get legit rap money, and that really saved my life.”

Ask Sleep Dank and Yukmouth what made Mac Dre such a lovable guy, and they will both recall a man who was bounteous with generosity and integrity, lending helping hands to struggling talent and looking out for those close to him. “Mac Dre was a legend before I even met him — he was a legend at my junior high school because he didn’t snitch and kept it silent,” Yukmouth said of Mac Dre’s refusal to serve as a police informant in order to protect his partners.“That rang bells throughout the whole Bay Area. We knew he was a solid nigga for not snitching on his homeboys.” The “I Got 5 On It” hit-maker befriended Mac Dre after he was released from jail and said he was always teaching others with honesty and a giving spirit.

“Dre was that nigga that was looking out for everybody. Back then people were doing it for themselves, not trying to share the pie. He shared the pie.”

Sleep Dank says the tribute shows continue Dre’s legacy of sharing the spotlight. This year’s tour will feature a couple of lesser-known acts, J-Hype and Campy Doo, whom Sleep Dank hopes to help in the same way Mac Dre used to. “Dre’s basically still helping people from the grave,” he said.

Of course, the show isn’t merely a means of paying respects to the departed emperor of Thizz. Sleep Dank and Yukmouth have built up respectable careers of their own and have reached a new chapter of collaborations in the Bay Area rap scene and a phase of reflection upon what used to be. The two recently made a song with E-40, for example,“Trendsetters,” mending a previous Vallejo rivalry. “He was from the other side of Vallejo, and we didn’t get along for a long, long time … but we’ve started into a mature time,” Sleep Dank said of E-40. “We made it happen just to show the young people that sides ain’t gotta be like that. We can come together.”

Yukmouth is in a phase of retrospection, with his next album slated as a double album about his teenage years — possibly his last solo album — to coincide with his memoir, Sad Millionaire. “There was a lot of gangsters, a lot of kingpins, a lot of really real shit,” he said of the time when he turned “a drug deal into a record deal.”“I was tired of going in and out of juvenile hall, hopping fences, being shot at.”

He admits that musically things aren’t quite the same as they used to be —“There ain’t no era like the Golden Era,” he says, and lamented that nowadays “everybody and everything is so individualized that they think they don’t need nobody; nobody’s unified. At the push of a button, you can release your music”—but he’s ready to teach what he’s learned. With a couple of decades of success behind him, he feels similarly “ready to pass the torch,” planning to aid others in their music careers as a manager and booker, including his daughter, an aspiring singer. He also discussed his plans to give back to the Oakland community by investing in businesses—a barbershop, a beauty and nail salon, and potentially even a hookah lounge.

So things are good for Sleep Dank and Yukmouth, and Friday’s show will be a great chance to bask in that goodness — handed down from their n gone-but-still-giving friend, Mac Dre.

round the halfway At the Santa mark of his set, after Barbara Bowl, a few dozen isolated Thursday, August 4. voices had called out to him with requests — a tactic he’s notorious for rejecting—Ryan Adams encouraged the entire Santa Barbara Bowl audience to join in with him in a kind of group primal scream.

“Let’s get it all out now,” he implored the crowd in the Cookie Monster voice he would use on and off throughout the night, and then thousands of fans joined him in one giant raucous chorus of “Aaarrgh!”When he wasn’t playing one of these impulsive games with his fans, Adams led his quintet through almost two hours of the best American rock that anybody is playing in 2016. Whether he was jamming alongside a surging Hammond B-3 organ or bringing things down to a hushed silence with just his voice and guitar for the unforgettable ballad “I See Monsters,” Adams carried this show with a relaxed and confident intensity. Jenny Lewis of openers Nice as Fuck joined for two numbers, and the two showed us what can happen when great songwriters are also great performers.

a spectacular multimedia performance that was as exhilaratingly joyful and jocular as it was technically impressive, with seamless costume changes galore. Like well-trained acrobats, Yankovic and his stellar band careened through his wild catalog with video interludes and choreography, leaping with almost maniacal enthusiasm between songs such as “White and Nerdy,”“Amish Paradise,” and “Smells Like Nirvana,” plus polka frenzies such as “Now That’s What I Call Polka!”

Some songs wowed with their theatricality —like “Foil,” for which Al wore a conspirator’s aluminum-foil helmet, or “Fat,” with the requisite jiggling fat suit and an interruption from Santa Claus— others with their sheer musicianship, such as “Dare to be Stupid” or an unplugged Clapton-esque “Eat It” and “I Love Rocky Road”—bassist Steve Jay and guitarist Jim “Kimo”West deserve special note for contributing so much to the onstage antics.

But most striking was Yankovic’s singular stamina and commitment as a performer — scientists could study him for hints on inexhaustible renewable energy. Lest it seem Yankovic is only an extremely skilled imitator, a showstopping a cappella “Yoda Chant” in the night’s final song proved he’s an artist in his own right, one who will be remembered, just like the James Brown he parodies, as one of the great performers of his time.

Bowl, but that’s what happened last Friday night. In fact, the opener’s opener, Andy McMahon, who came on before Panic! At the Disco’s 19-song set, was no shirker, either. McMahon grabbed the usually laid-back early arrivers with an escalating sales job of singing, pounding, and dancing on the piano, and running around the inside of the Bowl. McMahon’s set concluded with “Dark Blue,” from his old band Jack’s Mannequin, and a torchy tribute to his daughter, “Cecilia and the Satellite.” Bowl early birds were impressed.

By comparison, however, Panic! At the Disco turned them into obsessives. Screaming whenever Utah-born rocker Brendon Urie turned on his falsetto, the fans knew every

musicians from the MAW class of 2016 were there, basking in the news that in January they would be the 2017 Zarin Mehta Fellows with the New York Philharmonic. Anna Han, winner of the concerto competition for solo piano, soared in a gripping interpretation of the “Maestoso” movement of Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15. Before and after the Brahms, we heard a wonderfully matched pair of works, one seminal in the establishment of the Russian musical tradition (Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, Op. 35) and the other a brilliant contemporary reflection on it (Sean Shepherd’s Magiya).

word and inflection in the Panic! songbook and sang along sweetly. Urie taps into (and refreshes) the abandoned world of prog rock, a fact amply underscored by his note-perfect cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” But the band doesn’t feel derivative: Opening with “Don’t Threaten Me with a Good Time,” and moving through almost 20 songs in an un-frantic hour, Urie’s storyteller talents sharpened as evening melted into darkness (and the light show dazzled), especially with “Girls/Girls/Boys” and the croony “Nine in the Afternoon.” Urie loves Frank Sinatra, according to arch fan Nicole Arnold, and has enough heart for the heartthrob job. He does a mean backflip, too.

Headliner Weezer went stationary for the first third of their set. They came on with a nonstarter, “California Kids,” but rapidly deployed “Hash Pipe,” which lit up the crowd.

But they remained staid on the silly stage set, which was beach party themed and had drummer Patrick Wilson in a lifeguard tower sadly reminiscent of 1970s Surf Punks shows.

The low point was a medley of middle brain songs such as “Dope Nose” and a wooden version of “Island in the Sun.” The band won everybody back with a psychedelic “King of the World” melding into “Only in Dreams.”At this point they felt like a hardworking band, not a hit machine. The group has aged, but the party they eventually unleashed was real and inevitably a nice topper to the brainier joys of Panic! At the Disco. And everyone seemed unthreatened by good times, anyway.

Shows through teristic gentle emphasis August 21. on the wheel of moral karma, Jane Austen is a writer for all seasons when it comes to contemporary revivals, rewrites, and repurposing. This excellent stage adaptation of Sense and Sensibility solves most of the problems involved in getting an Austen novel to fit comfortably onto a stage and into a reasonable theatrical time frame, and it does so without sacrificing the very specific and crucial elements of tone and style that separate the divine Jane from all the 19th-century novelists who are now nobodies.

First honors in this large cast must go to Shae Palic, who brings exactly the right mix of wit and hard-earned wisdom to Elinor Dashwood, the story’s central character, but she is more than supported by a truly splendid ensemble—every member of this large cast appears luminous and distinct in memory.

Sierra Wells is terrific as the mercurial Marianne Dashwood, Adam Schroeder renders John Dashwood suitably reprehensible, and Kitty Balay makes Mrs. Jennings come alive as the best London surrogate mother one could imagine. What brings it all together is the intelligence and theatrical imagination of the script, which was cowritten by Joseph Hanreddy, the founding artistic director of Santa Barbara’s Ensemble Theatre Company.

T

team up with the town’s scrupulous police chief (David Harbour) and connect the dots for some old-fashioned, spine-chilling sleuthing with some Hughes-style teen romance to boot.

While Ryder’s presence adds an extra burst of throwback to the nostalgia factor, her shrill histrionics bring an unwelcome cringe to an otherwise adequate performance, one that has been excessively praised by critics. The real stars, of course, are the kids, who, with their nuanced quirks, contradict the notion that youth is wasted on the young.

here’s been a lot of buzz about the Netflix summer thriller Stranger Things, and for good reason: nostalgia. From the score and the titles to the production design, the photography, and the direction, the series’ unabashed homage to the 1980s and the era’s great filmmakers is the perfect escape from an election season that’s more terrifying than even John Carpenter could imagine.

The early 1980s was a curious and wonderful time to be alive. The middle class was robust, there was no 24-hour news, and nerds were still, well, nerds. Homes were messy, food wasn’t “clean,” and, as we’ve all seen through relentless social media memes, kids ran loose all day with no adult supervision — and usually survived.

Setting their series in a middle-American suburb circa 1983, creators Ross and Matt Duffer (Wayward Pines) assemble a pastiche of the period’s most iconic storytelling through their careful channeling of Steven Spielberg, WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE: Set in the 1980s, netflix’s Stranger Things Stephen King, and John Hughes. And with its features an ace cast and a nail-biting sci-fi story line that’s totally rad. near-perfect ratio of government conspiracy and scary monster to tract-home décor and awkward youth, Stranger Things has shown summer For those already mourning the end of a show that television who’s boss. could realistically be binge-watched in a few days, NetThe story begins in familiar territory: a basement flix has announced a sequential second season.

Indignation

O Bad Moms

(101 mins., R)

It’s funny because it’s true, this comedy about the immense pressure of responsibilities and expectations facing modern mothers, starring Mila Kunis as an overworked, under-joyed mom who decides to live a little more freely. The jokes are good-natured if a little ordinary, and what it lacks in creative edge it makes up for in the pertinence and timeliness of its much-needed comic takedown of domestic inequalities. (RD) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

Café Society (96 mins., PG-13) The pressing question with any new Woody Allen film: Where does it register in the ranks of his massive filmography? Café Society is neither a dazzler nor a dozer in the oeuvre, but it rewards a look-see, especially as a rare example of a period piece in sync with his obsessive ’30s-era musical tastes (e.g., Rodgers and Hart’s anthemic “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was”), flitting from the pre-World War II Hollywood scene to the gangster-ized N.Y.C. nightclub scene with a beauteous visual glow, and wildly varying degrees of dramatic-comic focus. It’s also a tale of three in love with Kristen Stewart— Stewart her mid-lifer agent boss (Steve Carell), his New Yorker

Nine Lives (87 mins., PG) Kevin Spacey plays Tom Brand, an uptight, workaholic businessman who buys a cat for his daughter’s 11th birthday. It turns out the cat is magical, and soon Tom finds himself trapped inside the kitty and learns what a wonderful family he has. Jennifer Garner and Christopher Walken also star. Fiesta 5

O The Secret Life of Pets (87 mins., PG)

Hotel Transylvania 2 (92 mins.; PG) In this animated tale, Dracula (Adam Sandler) has opened his monstersonly hotel to human guests, and Drac is secretly worried that his half-human grandson, Dennis, isn’t showing his vampire side.

act of gratuitous exhibitionism signals a dive into a world where an online game turns terrifying and Manhattan becomes an all-night opportunity for moral shortcomings. It’s suspenseful, beautifully made, a bit preachy at the end, and obviously open for sequels, but fun. (DJP) Fiesta 5

Indignation (110 mins., R) Based on the novel by Philip Roth, the story follows a working-class Jewish student (Logan Lerman) who attends a small Ohio college and experiences a sexual awakening when he meets a wealthy fellow student.

Plaza de Oro Jason Bourne (123 mins., PG-13) Welcome back to the gray-green world of Paul Greengrass’s mighty moneymaking Bourne franchise. This time our reluctant murdering semi-automaton and title hero has been fished out of obscurity by Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) so he can disrupt the cowardly CIA from corrupting an idealist of the Silicon Valley persuasion. The plot is as murky as the director’s vision: Even Las Vegas seems like an existential destination, though the car chase through downtown and The Strip livens up the Bourne self-repeating plot mechanism.

(DJP) Camino Real/Metro 4

O Nerve

(96 mins., PG-13)

This slow-starting thriller builds inexorably into something great and unexpected. Nerve begins like standard-issue high school melodrama— melodrama the dorky kids and the cute kids miscommunicating badly across the class lines of a Staten Island football field— field when an

A ragtag gang of pets go looking for their lost comrades in the big city, running away from dogcatchers — it’s a wonder that Disney didn’t get around to suing on behalf of Oliver & Company or Lady and the Tramp. But The Secret Life of Pets is a lot better than its derivative premise thanks to great animation, a swift-moving plot, and great character voices like Louis C.K., Jenny Slate, and Dana Carvey.

Something is amiss in deep space, and it isn’t the trouble with Tribbles. Kirk and Spock are suffering existential doubts. Kirk thinks his life has become “episodic”; Spock wants off to pursue his Vulcan-ness. That is until the USS Enterprise is drawn into a tricky nebula inhabited by a new evil and unexpected technologies.

Suicide Squad (123 mins., PG-13) What hurts the most about this much-anticipated anti-superhero movmov ie’s abject failure is that it was made

by David Ayer, who directed the tense, thrilling Fury. This is all flab: despite some great work by Margot Robbie and Will Smith, Suicide Squad feels like a long, discursive intro followed by a prolonged preface, until we realize this gunk is going to be the movie. By then it’s all over with no winners or losers, a genre deconstruction that (to put it politely) makes everything worse. (DJP) Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

Rio 2016 marks the first time a South American city has played host to the Olympic Games. Also, it’s the first time a Summer Olympics has been held entirely during a host country’s winter season.

VEnUES

The athletes’ village is the AT H l E T largest in Olympic history, E V il l A G ES ’ consisting of 29,000 mattresses, 80,000 chairs, 6,000 television sets, 10,000 smartphones, and 70,000 tables. An estimated 60,000 meals are being served every day at the athletes’ village. Traditional Brazilian foods like farofa, tapioca, açaí, brigadeiro, and pão de queijoare are available for athletes.

Team U.S.A. has won 2,400 medals in 26 Summer Olympics, including 976 gold, and hopes to improve on the 103 medals won at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The most medals the U.S. has won at a Summer Games is 239, a record set in 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The 18-hole golf course in Rio was designed by American golf course architect Gil Hanse. The course is in the Rio suburb of Barra da Tijuca, and is set to become the city’s first public golf course after the Games.

The center court at the Olympic Tennis Center in Barra da Tijuca was named after retired tennis player Maria Esther Bueno. Bueno was the first woman to win all four Grand Slam double titles in the same year.

The Rio Municipal Velodrome was designed by German architects in the shape of a bicycle helmet. The construction of the facility has been heavily delayed and will not be ready for testing until after July 25, shortly before the Games begin.

Team U.S.A.’s men’s basketball team has competed in 17 Summer Olympics, earning gold in 14. The team looks to add to their gold medal collection in Rio with 10 of the 12-man roster selected making their Olympic debuts. Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant are the only two returning gold medalists from 2012.

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Using scissors, snip off a strand of your hair. As you do, sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Seal the hair in an envelope on which you have written the following: “I am attracting divine prods and unpredictable nudges that will enlighten me about a personal puzzle that I am ready to solve.”

On each of the next five nights, kiss this package five times and place it beneath your pillow as you sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Then observe your dreams closely. Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fifth night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle. Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.

(June 21-July 22): Be vulnerable and sensitive as well as insatiable and irreverent. Cultivate your rigorous skepticism, but expect the arrival of at least two freaking miracles. Be extra nurturing to allies who help you and sustain you, but also be alert for those moments when they may benefit from your rebellious provocations. Don’t take anything too personally or literally or seriously, even as you treat the world as a bountiful source of gifts and blessings. Be sure to regard love as your highest law, and laugh at fear at least three times every day.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here comes a special occasion — a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced? For a brief grace period, you can be free from your pressing obsessions.

Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace. You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole. Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I placed a wager down at the astrology pool. I bet that sometime in the next three weeks, you Capricorns will shed at least some of the heavy emotional baggage that you’ve been lugging around; you will transition from ponderous plodding to curious-hearted sauntering. Why am I so sure this will occur? Because I have detected a shift in attitude by one of the most talkative little voices in your head.

It seems ready to stop tormenting you with cranky reminders of all the chores you should be doing but aren’t — and start motivating you with sunny prompts about all the fun adventures you could be pursuing.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): This would be a good time to have a master craftsperson decorate your headquarters with stained-glass windows that depict the creation stories of your favorite indigenous culture. You might also benefit from hiring a feng shui consultant to help you design a more harmonious home environment.

Here are some cheaper but equally effective ways to promote domestic bliss: Put images of your heroes on your walls. Throw out stuff that makes you feel cramped. Add new potted plants to calm your eyes and nurture your lungs. If you’re feeling especially experimental, build a shrine devoted to the Goddess of Ecstatic Nesting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You Geminis are as full of longings as any other sign, but you have a tendency to downplay their intensity. How often do you use your charm and wit to cloak your burning, churning yearnings? Please don’t misunderstand me: I appreciate your refined expressions of deep feelings — as long as that’s not a way to hide your deep feelings from yourself. This will be an especially fun and useful issue for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I advise you to be in very close touch with your primal urges.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s assume, for the sake of fun argument, that you do indeed have a guardian angel.

Even if you have steadfastly ignored this divine helper in the past, I’m asking you to strike up a close alliance in the coming weeks. If you need to engage in an elaborate game of imaginative pretending to make it happen, so be it. Now let me offer a few tips about your guardian angel’s potential purposes in your life: providing sly guidance about how to take good care of yourself; quietly reminding you where your next liberation may lie; keeping you on track to consistently shed the past and head toward the future; and kicking your ass so as to steer you away from questionable influences. Okay? Now go claim your sublime assistance!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming weeks, I suspect that Life will attempt to move you away from any influences that interfere with your ability to discern and express your soul’s code. You know what I’m talking about when I use that term “soul’s code,” right? It’s your sacred calling, the blueprint of your destiny, the mission you came to earth to fulfill. So what does it mean if higher powers and mysterious forces are clearing away obstacles that have been preventing you from a more complete embodiment of your soul’s code? Expect a breakthrough that initially resembles a breakdown.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Although you may not yet be fully aware of your good fortune, your “rescue” is already underway. Furthermore, the so-called hardship you’ve been lamenting will soon lead you to a trick you can use to overcome one of your limitations. Maybe best of all, Virgo, a painful memory you have coddled for a long time has so thoroughly decayed that there’s almost nothing left to cling to. Time to release it! So what comes next? Here’s what I recommend: Throw a going-away party for everything you no longer need.

Give thanks to the secret intelligence within you that has guided you to this turning point.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Maybe you know people who flee from the kind of Big Bold Blankness that’s visiting you, but I hope you won’t be tempted to do that. Here’s my counsel: Welcome your temporary engagement with emptiness. Celebrate this opening into the unknown.

Ease into the absence. Commune with the vacuum.

Ask the nothingness to be your teacher. What’s the payoff? This is an opportunity to access valuable secrets about the meaning of your life that aren’t available when you’re feeling full. Be gratefully receptive to what you don’t understand and can’t control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What you are most afraid of right now could become what fuels you this fall. Please note that I used the word “could.” In the style of astrology I employ, there is no such thing as predestination.

So if you prefer, you may refuse to access the rich fuel that’s available. You can keep your scary feelings tucked inside your secret hiding place, where they will continue to fester. You are not obligated to deal with them squarely, let alone find a way to use them as motivation. But if you are intrigued by the possibility that those murky worries might become a source of inspiration, dive in and investigate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Are you ready for your midterm exam? Luckily I’m here to help get you into the proper frame of mind to do well. Now study the following incitements with an air of amused rebelliousness. (1) You may have to act a bit wild or unruly in order to do the right thing. (2) Loving your enemies could motivate your allies to give you more of what you need. (3) Are you sufficiently audacious to explore the quirky happiness that can come from cultivating intriguing problems? (4) If you want people to change, try this: Change yourself in the precise way you want them to change.

Homework: What do you foresee happening in your life during the rest of 2016? Make three brave, positive predictions. Truthrooster@gmail.com.

CORRAL aka AMELIA FRANCES CORRAL NO: 16pR00310 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of AMELIA F. CORRAL aka AMELIA FRANCES CORRAL A pETITION FOR pROBATE: has been filed by: TERI NEAL in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE pETITION for probate requests that (name): TERI NEAL be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE pETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE pETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 8/25/2016 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: Five SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to
