the talented mR. Cheng Hip-hop and electronica are Eugene Cheng’s genres of choice, though he’s managed to kill it in his review of a hirsute band of the ’70s and even a theater troupe performing at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Maybe it’s his poli-sci/ philosophy double major at UCSB that makes the Indy intern so adaptable.

He claims he got into writing at Homestead High in Sunnyvale — home of the Steves: Jobs and Wozniak — because his math classes just put him to sleep: “I like sleeping; I don’t like being woken up.” He’s been writing ever since, and you’ll find more of his work on pages in this week’s issue.

NEWS of the WEEK pau l wellm an

by Kelsey Brugger @kelseybrugger, Keith hamm, tyler hayden @TylerHayden1, and nicK Welsh, with Independent staff

GAvin For Gov? Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, running for governor, spoke to a packed La Casa de la Raza last Wednesday. In a wide-ranging talk, he hit on health care, gun laws, college tuition, and affordable housing. But he started and ended with income inequality: “The imbalance,” he said, quoting Plato, “between the rich and the poor is the oldest and the most fatal ailment of all republics.” Watch the full discussion at independent.com.

Goodbye, East Beach Grill

city

After 33 Years, Owner Francisco Aguilera Is Leaving with a Twisted Arm and a Broken Heart

F

of its upstairs event space, offices, gym, and restaurant. Aguilera had hoped to reopen his grill when the work was completed, but lease negotiations with the city failed. “I did my best,” he said, throwing up his hands.“But I’m out.”

Last September, the Santa Barbara City Council voted to give Aguilera first crack at resecuring a lease before the concession

set off from Durango, Mexico, eventually ending up in Santa Barbara, where he took a job as a dishwasher at the East Beach Grill.

For the next 33 years, Aguilera worked at the seaside restaurant on the first floor of the Cabrillo Pavilion Bathhouse, graduating to cook and manager, and finally to owner and leaseholder. He still arrives every morning at the crack of dawn to open the doors by 6 a.m. He has never missed a day.

Over the decades he has gotten to know his regular customers and their kids who’d skip straight from the ocean to his counter, asking for ice cream. Now grown, those kids bring their own children and grandchildren to the restaurant, one of the last places in Santa Barbara with $5 hamburgers and a bathing-suit-welcome dress code.

Last Thursday, sitting in his tiny office perched above the Great East Beach Grill owner Francisco Aguilera Pacific Ice Cream Company that he owns next to Char West, which he also was opened to public proposals. The decision owns, Aguilera looked out toward the East was made against the recommendation of Beach Grill a mile down the coast. “It breaks Parks and Recreation Department Director my heart,” he said. In December his lease ends, Jill Zachary, who argued simultaneous bids and the city will close the public bathhouse would give the city the best deal. Whoever building for a massive $15 million renovation operated the bathhouse’s restaurant would be

required to open for dinner, provide a full bar, and generate much-needed revenue for her department, which had been recently forced to cut public youth and sports programs. A City Council chamber jam-packed with Aguilera’s customers, all lobbying to allow him to retain the lease, however, persuaded the councilmembers. “When you spend 33 years in one spot,” said Aguilera, “you make a lot of friends.”

In his proposal, Aguilera outlined a plan to transform the East Beach Grill from a casual breakfast and lunch joint into an upscale restaurant. He would rebuild his dining room and kitchen at a cost of $1.5 million and then wait the two years of construction before the building could reopen. The lease was the sticking point. Aguilera said the city wants a guaranteed $400,000, more than twice what he pays now. He believes it would be impossible for anyone to afford that, even with the more upscale offerings.“It’s just bad business,” he said.

Since 2008, when Aguilera bought the East Beach Grill from his mentor and boss John Williams, he’s doubled his profits by increasing them a few percentage points every year. The same goes for Char West and the ice cream parlor. “Slow and steady” he learned from Williams, who also b r an d on ya d ega r i

No one has seen or heard from Zacharey Taylor Wilks (pictured) since 5/24 when he left his Lompoc home for Las Vegas, Nevada. Driving his black 1994 Honda Civic, license plate 7SGR202, Wilks, 27, planned to work on his aunt and uncle’s houseboat in Lake Powell after first stopping at a casino. An all-out search organized by his family has located a cell-phone ping placing him on Highway 166, and search teams and aerial flyovers of Los Padres National Forest and campgrounds along the route have attempted to locate him or his car. Despite all efforts, Wilks has disappeared; his credit cards and bank account remain untouched; no crashes or unidentified persons have been reported. Wilks is Caucasian, with brown hair and hazel eyes, 5’10”, 180 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lompoc police at 736-2341.

county The Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) just received a $975,000 funding boost from a three-year federal grant by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The grant allows the program, which runs a special court docket for veterans involved in the criminal justice system, to increase its services by 25 percent, Congressmember Salud Carbajal wrote in his supporting letter. The project involves a partnership between courts, probation, counseling centers, vets groups, and UCSB, and works to help veterans escape alcohol and drug abuse, reduce psychiatric symptoms, and avoid repeated encounters with the justice system. “VTCs are critical to addressing any wrongdoing,” said Carbajal, “while ensuring that our veterans gain access to the care they need and are treated with the respect they deserve.”

city In the same breath that city hearing officer Suzanne Reardon approved the pot dispensary proposal at 2609 De la Vina Street, she directed opponents to where they could appeal the controversial project. Proprietor Ihab Ghannam’s revised application and updated security plan included two security guards, one to patrol the premises 24/7. During business hours, one guard would escort patrons all the way around the adjoining buildings if they were parked in the back lot. The plan also includes surveillance cameras outside and bulletproof glass inside. Neighbors in the busy uptown neighborhood worried the pot shop will have significant effects on property values and crime, and bring the unwelcome sight of security guards. Ghannam, who lives nearby, stated that neighboring businesses are not opposed to his shop. cont’d on page 10 ➤ JuNE 15, 2017

Trash Wars Flare Up

T

http://ext.csuci.edu 805-437-2748

he long, bitter battle over plans to expand the lifespan of the county’s Tajiguas Landfill

along the Gaviota Coast spilled over into Santa Barbara City Council chambers late Tuesday afternoon in a dispute about a relatively small rate increase needed to underwrite the cost of that expansion. The plans, 15 years in the making, include a massive $110 million recycling plant. They were sent back to the drawing boards earlier this year after a simple but massive oversight was discovered just as financing for the project was being obtained.

Even though the project is now on hold for at least a year, the fee increases at Tajiguas — owned and operated by Santa Barbara County Solid Waste Department — needed to pay for the expansion are going into effect this July anyway. Mayor Helene Schneider argued that until the project is back on track, city ratepayers should not be on the hook for an additional cent, nor should any city funds be spent. As proposed, the average city trash customer would see a $1.28-a-month increase in trash collection to cover project-related costs. Another $1 million would have come out of city reserves to soften the blow to Santa Barbara ratepayers.

County trash planners say the project will be delayed a year at most and that they need to begin accumulating the funds from the increased tipping fees now. Critics of the Tajiguas expansion and recycling project cited county internal memos describing a “draconian increase” in project costs as a result of the delay. They argued that City Hall should wait until the new project designs are approved and new cost estimates are released before committing any ratepayer funds.

New designs are needed because the previous project, it was discovered, encroached 173 feet into the state’s coastal protection zone, meaning it needed Coastal Commission approval.

Critics claim the new design will delay the project by at least two years. Ultimately the council voted to shield ratepayers from the additional costs by paying the higher tipping fees — $1.6 — Nick Welsh million — from a reserve fund.

Abating Mobile Home Park Panic

Join us for online info session Wednesday, June 21 • 6-7pm

A

year and a half ago, residents at Flamingo Mobile Home Park panicked they would soon be homeless. The Cacique Street trailer park had just gone on the market for $10 million. Today, the park has still not sold, but the tenants’ organizing have prompted city attorney Ariel Calonne to begin to update the antiquated regulations of some of Santa Barbara’s only truly affordable housing.

Since 2000, the number of RV or mobile home park units has dropped from 519 to 390.

Currently, city code defines 10 such parks in the city, including Flamingo and Tropical Garden next door.

The city cannot stop the “conversion” of a park, Calonne told city councilmembers on Tuesday. But city laws could certainly be tighter and clearer to “avoid fear for tenants and [give] owners a better cookbook in how to do this properly in the eyes of the City Council,” he said. Specifically, to enhance objectivity, Calonne suggested a technical hearing officer would review conversion applications rather than the Planning Commission. In addition, the City Council could mandate that owners compensate residents if relocation did not exist within 25 miles. It may be difficult to find availability even within 50 miles, Calonne said.

Flamingo resident Jim Farned, who has led the charge to strengthen city ordinances, was optimistic about the potential for the Housing Authority to purchase mobile home parks.

Such an option remains highly preliminary. Resident Pamela Anderson waved letters supporting stricter rules from 260 people, many of whom are elderly.

A second issue that emerged Tuesday was the nexus between mobile home parks and the city’s program to encourage development of affordable housing, better known as Average Unit-size Density, or AUD. There was some interest in removing all the city’s mobile home parks from the AUD overlay, which would essentially make them more difficult to develop.

The housing task force will take up the AUD issue. The conversion ordinance, meanwhile, —Kelsey Brugger will go to the ordinance committee, where residents can participate.

on 43 acres instead of 1,600 — and the saga of Goleta’s efforts to ensure its low-income apartments are built is complicated. Suffice it to say that over public speakers and Mayor Paula Perotte’s objections, the Goleta City Council agreed to let developer Comstock Homes earn 25 building permits at a time for each of the three defined stages of the affordables project. As additional insurance, the city holds 27 remaining permits — worth more than $17 million in homes, according to Comstock CEO Dave Lauletta — if Comstock fails to finish the homes by next January. The entire project consists of 465 detached homes, apartments, and condominiums located at the intersection of the 101 and Los Carneros Road, plus recreational facilities and a bridge leading to Cortona Drive.

Emotions Mixed over Pending Sale of La Casa de La Raza to Developer

by Kelsey Brugger a Casa de la raza refurbished a massive industrial warehouse on the Eastside more than 45 years before it became the hip thing to do. Covered with historic murals, the nonprofit became a cultural and political hub for the Latino community, offering great food, social services, and live music to Mexicans and Caucasians alike.

But changes are looming. For years, La Casa’s financial struggles have been well documented. To bail them out, Santa Barbara developer Ed St. George has a cash offer on the table that is not yet finalized. This news has not sat well with some original founding members, who expressed resentment the Latino community may be losing ownership of a center activists worked so hard to build.

Others, though, expressed relief that new plans may help keep La Casa’s doors open.

What happens now remains a question.

Court documents reveal a few details, but board president Michael Gonzales called the arrangement “very fluid. We’ll just see how it unfolds,” he said.

Two years ago, St. George quietly immersed himself in the nonprofit’s financial problems. He said he got pulled into helping its Board of Directors while working on the proposed sobering center in Isla Vista with Marisela Márquez, UCSB’s Associated Students executive director and former La Casa board president. At the time, La Casa filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, where it remains.

Now, St. George, who built student housing in Isla Vista and on the Mesa, wants to buy half of the 26,000-square-foot building for $1.1 million. The other half would be relinquished to an entity called Casa Redevelopment Company that “essentially would remain La Casa,” according to its Los Angeles–based bankruptcy attorney Eric Bensamochan. Court documents indicate St. George would manage that entity, but Bensamochan said that’s “more of an administrative title.”

(A bankruptcy judge must approve the plan when the case returns to court in August.)

La Casa has racked up nearly $1 million in debt, including $150,000 owed to the IRS and nearly $20,000 to Marquez, who was not available for an interview before this paper’s deadline. With the cash from St. George, the nonprofit should be able to pay back its debts.

Marquez and Executive Director Raquel Lopez have come under public fire for the pending sale. Gonzales, however, stuck up for them. “If it hadn’t been for people like Raquel,” he said, “La Casa would not be in existence today.” Others have noted that fiscal problems predated her tenure.

“I know they get beat up a lot,” St. George added. “There are a lot of problems with it,” but he’s willing to do “whatever I can do to keep it alive.” The board, he said, will be almost entirely replaced with individuals who have a “little more business sense.”

An added wrinkle, however, is founding member Tomas Castelo, who currently owns the mortgage note. In the past, he has not expressed a willingness to sell it. He was not available for an interview this week. Castelo’s

Ed St. George attorney, Tony Fischer, said in an email La Casa has long failed to pay rent.

Fischer argued St. George would have control “over all future decisions.” But St. George refuted that: “It’s not like I get to do whatever I want.” He said La Casa “does not need and does not use” half of the building’s vast space. St. George might ultimately use more of the space and essentially pay rent to La Casa. As for specifics, board president Gonzales said, “We’ll cross that bridge when we cross that bridge.”

St. George explained his interest in the property is two-fold. First, he initially planned to turn the funky old building into a hotel. But, he said, city officials are in the process of restricting hotels from being built in industrial zones as part of the city’s updated zoning process.“It’s unfortunate,” he said.“The design was a very beautiful design.”

He envisioned traditional weddings in an indoor/outdoor space that celebrated Mexican artist Carlos Santana.

Second, St. George has a history with the center. “La Casa really represents the Mexican people, the real Mexican culture, not the American Mexican culture,” he said. A Santa Barbara native, the 50-something-year-old said he first visited La Casa as a teenager. He felt even more engrained after his friends —the Sierras, a Latino family on the Eastside —took him in after they found him living out of his pickup truck.

But these days, St. George is going to do whatever it takes to make a profit, claimed founding member Ben Cheverez. “He is smart enough to figure that out.” Founding member Leo Martinez expressed frustration with just about everyone involved.

“It’s bullshit,” he said. “I’m just hurt.” Mary Cheverez-Morales, an original staffer who essentially ran the place, added, “I blame the community. I blame the board.”

Jacqueline Inda, who described herself as a concerned community member, said communication between the current board and St. George has occurred behind closed doors.

She expressed mixed emotions. She’s glad the building will remain standing. But, she added, “It’s unfortunate that it was a Latinoowned asset, and now we will be there as tenants.” n

griM news: Supervisors Steve Lavagnino (left) and Das Williams listen with concern to budget deliberations.

Social Work Will Suffer

i

t might seem perverse that as the stock market booms, county government officials find

themselves $30 million in debt. “Things can only get worse from here,” conservative watchdog Andy Caldwell warned the county supervisors, citing a future “market correction” and escalating employee pension costs. (Preliminary calculations show that next year the county government faces a $20 million gap.)

As of press time, the county supervisors had not yet approved their roughly $1 billion budget. Regardless of final deliberations on Wednesday, though, the county supervisors faced mounting costs. Squeezing county coffers are the county’s pension costs ($7 million), money for fire district ($8 million), funds for the eventual operation of the Northern Branch County Jail ($9 million), and several extra million to repair county roads.

To deal with the shortfall, county department heads braced for cuts to their general fund revenue. Hit the hardest was Social Services, which has issued pink slips to 71 employees and planned to demote another 28. In addition, the state cut funding for welfare programs throughout California. County Supervisor Janet Wolf stressed these terminations translate to 37 percent bigger caseloads for county social workers.

Conservative County Supervisor Peter Adam took the opportunity Monday to complain that about a third of the county’s population is on welfare. This statistic, Social Services Director Dan Neilson said, reflects statistics throughout California. “Right,” Adam responded. “I don’t know who thinks it’s a great thing to have a third of our people on public assistance.”

But County Supervisor Das Williams stressed that the only thing worse than a third of the population on welfare is a third of the population not signed up to receive the aid they need.

— Kelsey Brugger “Most of the people on this are kids,” he said.

Trouble at the Libraries

T

he troubles at the Santa Barbara city library branches are leaving what can only be described as a budgetary trail of tears. On Monday, the City Council voted to set a controversial administrative fee at 13.5 percent, raising it from a historic 9 percent. Even that decision, sort of good for the library system but fairly bad for the Solvang and Carpinteria branches, which will go into the red by $17,784 and $77,085, respectively, was nothing compared to the human toll.

During public comment, recently retired Carpinteria head librarian Tara O’Reilly informed the council of the disrespect in the firing of many longtime library employees, one of whom received an $8,000 grant from the Fund for Santa Barbara on Tuesday to continue a program—Artesanía Para la Familia—she’d started at the Carpinteria library.

Suzanne Requejo told The Santa Barbara Independent that she’d been ordered to leave the library on the day her 5th graders were arriving in anticipation of an arts-award and graduation ceremony. In shock, she was packing up her art supplies when her students overheard two people from the Central Library telling her she had five minutes to gather her things and leave. Since then, kids have been asking her about being fired, she said. Library Director Jessica Cadiente stated she could not comment on personnel matters.

Every single library is balanced on a thin budget in a system that has been hemorrhaging for years. The City of Santa Barbara administers the Montecito, Carpinteria, Goleta, Buellton, and Solvang libraries and has had to make stark choices. It will cost the city $557,420 to run its branches this coming year; the 13.5 percent is a far cry from the 21 percent actually needed.

The grief of the money woes and ensuing personnel decisions overshadowed the optimistic presentation Cadiente had made, which included hoped-for capital projects at the Anapamu Street library, like an elevator to the downstairs children’s library — much needed by parents with strollers — and an effort to reopen the upstairs patio.

In another prong of library financing — the county’s per capita payment for services to unincorporated areas — Supervisor Das Williams has proposed adding another $200,000 to the kitty, as the county did last year, a decision finalized after Indy press time. Williams has also put in motion the search for a consultant to determine what the fair portion of the unincorporated areas might be for each library, as well as the city administrative percentage and the economics of the county of assuming responsibility for the branch libraries.

State Street reconsidered 69 Long-Term Solutions Sought as Retail Buying Undergoes Seismic Shift

W

ith nearly a quarter of all American shopping malls projected to shut down over the next five years, the retail future of Santa Barbara’s State Street has emerged as the $64 million question, a subject of vigorous head scratching and renewed political debate. Last week, the Downtown Organization weighed in with the release of a new retail study it had commissioned six months ago in response to an alarming spike in the number of vacant downtown storefronts.

The good news, according to consultants with the Seattle-based firm Downtown Works, is that the “bones and scale” of downtown Santa Barbara remain “great for retail,” despite very real challenges posed by Internet shopping. Santa Barbara’s number one strength, the consultants concluded, “is its authenticity” as a “real downtown.” But that authenticity could be part of the problem, as the reality visitors experience may be at odds with the town’s reputation as “a first-class destination.”

Among the many problems confronting State Street that consultants Midge McCauley and Kelly Kost described was “the concentration/visibility/behavior of loiterers/ homeless” as nothing less than “a GIGANTIC issue.” It was, however, far from the only one. The mix of shops on State Street, they said, was hardly unique, caters too much to tourists, and has too many chain outlets that target “a very young demographic.” In addition, the two consultants wondered whether the State Street corridor might be too long a retail stretch to be economically sustainable.

During a media briefing last week, McCauley and Kost said they were less troubled by the number of vacant storefronts (which they clocked at 12 percent of the total) and high rents (which they said were not unreasonably high) than they were by the shabby exteriors of many properties, underwhelming window design, and interior merchandise displays that did not draw shoppers in and keep them coming

State Street cont’d from p. 13 disrepair and question the extent to which the homeless can be blamed. Whatever the cause—internet sales, high rents, bad business decisions—the number of vacant storefronts is the highest it’s been since 1991.

Last week, assistant city administrator Nina Johnson met with eight commercial brokers to discuss removing “For Lease” signs from the walls of vacant storefronts.

This suggestion unleashed an angry backlash from longtime property owners Rich-

ard Berti and Jim Knell, who fumed in letters bursting with exclamation points that City Hall needed to do more to remove the homeless. Some of the brokers agreed to post smaller signs.

In the meantime, Santa Barbara Police Chief Lori Luhnow announced plans to assign more officers to downtown patrol and to form new squads of uniformed volunteers and civilian ambassadors to create n a definite street presence.

A sacred and historic resting place open to all people of faith and good will.

Always Kick a Dead Dog While He’s Down

PASTA PUTIN-ESCA: Somehow, I managed to miss much of movie director Oliver Stone’s four-hour magnum opus, The Putin Interviews (aka My Pal Vlad), a semi-quasi documentary now eating up the Showtime air-

waves and exploring the softer, more human side of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.“He’s been through a lot. He’s been insulted and abused,” Stone told funnyman talk-show host Stephen Colbert. For me, four hours qualifies as a really big time commitment. If I’m going to piss away such a huge chunk of my life, I figured I’d be better served feasting my eyes on the great 30 for 30 sports documentary series that aired this week on ESPN, tracing the much storied rivalry between the Boston Celtics — pronounced “keltics” in my family—and the Los Angeles Lakers. As sports escapism goes, it’s unsurpassed. And it’s not really escapism; it only pretends to be. As with any documentary about sports in America, it’s inevitably all about racism. Stone, by contrast, is dangerously prone to man crushes on strong-arm dictators so long as they find themselves at cross purposes with the United States. In so doing, Stone does a grave disservice to Self-Loathing Revisionists (SLR) everywhere. The whole value of being an SLR is to highlight the extent to which our own emperor has no clothes. It’s not to gush and fawn over the wardrobes of other emperors. To the extent Stone is about recog-

nizing our own hypocrisy in world affairs, he’s got a point. But just because the United States aggressively interfered in the elections of so many other countries doesn’t mean Putin is to be applauded for giving us a taste of our own medicine. In Stone’s documentary, Putin is shown chilling in his man cave, where he happens to have his own personal gilded man chapel. To his credit, Stone reveals Putin prefers to worship standing up. Others, Putin said, can kneel if they must. Genuflection is permitted, he adds. Clearly, Stone should have declined the invitation.

Obviously, Putin and Russia were very much in the news this week as U.S. Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III mustered all the affronted umbrage his dignified-Southern-gentleman stagecraft

would allow at the suggestion he might have been playing footsies with the Rooskies.

Sessions got positively puce with indignation and seethed how his honor had been besmirched by “scurrilous and false allegations,” not to mention “appalling and detestable lies.” The factual record, however, indicates that Sessions had already met on two occasions with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak when he testified during his confirmation hearing that he’d never met with any Russians. One was a sit-down confab held in Sessions’s own office. It was not incidental chitchat exchanged while passing in a hallway of a swank hotel. Whether Sessions took off his shoes and socks to engage

in full-frothal interdigital toe-lock with the redoubtable Kislyak I don’t pretend to know. I am struck, however, by the selective amnesia that allowed Sessions, shiny-faced with indignation, to recall so little of what he and Kislyak spoke about. One would think something might stick out. It’s not like Sessions had a history of pow-wowing with foreign attaches throughout his long Senate career. In fact, he absolutely never did. But then, Sessions also displayed a magnificent lack of recall as he repeatedly invoked a fake policy when refusing to disclose any conversations he’d had with President Donald Trump. Was it a policy, a principle, a law?

Where was it written? He didn’t know. And when California Senator Kamala Harris —as one former prosecutor to another—pressed him for details, he got “nervous” by the rat-atat speed with which she demanded answers.

Naturally, Harris — who as a woman and African American happens to belong to two subgroups with which Sessions is not on good terms—was admonished by the chair to back off and give the honorable Southern white gentleman the time and space needed to not answer her questions.

All this was swimming around my brain as I listened to two Russian journalist-scholars — Anton Barbashin and Olga Irisova —speak this Monday at the Ronald Reagan Room of the DoubleTree on life in Russia since Putin and “his little green men” didn’t invade the Ukraine in 2014. While Stone told

the world that the Russian people “have never been better off,” this pair pointed out that Russia’s gross domestic product had plunged by $1 trillion since the non-invasion. The economic sanctions have clearly hurt Putin; he desperately wants them lifted. Monday, it turns out, just happened to be Russia Day in Russia. Tens of thousands of Russians — mostly too young to have anything yet to lose — celebrated by taking to the streets in more than 100 cities to protest Putin’s rule. According to Barbashin, more than 1,800 had been arrested by mid-afternoon.“That’s a holiday in Russia,” he deadpanned.

Are Democrats pimping Trump’s Russian connections just because they can’t get over losing the election? A fair question perhaps, but given the facts, also stupid. Forget General Michael Flynn and his secret meetings with Kislyak, about which he lied. Trump’s very own campaign manager, Paul Manafort, had previously run the elections for Putin’s hand-picked puppet in the Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. Trump’s Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had developed such chummy relations with Putin as Exxon CEO that Putin gave him Russia’s Order of Friendship medal.

Little wonder Tillerson is now expressing “reservations” about the tough new sanctions on Putin that the Senate is expected to adopt. One needn’t be a conspiracy nut to acknowledge the obvious. That’s something Oliver Stone used to understand.

BACKCOUNTRY: It seemed like a good idea

at the time, a Santa Barbara backcountry outing with Dick Smith.

What I thought Dick promised was a woodsy overnighter enjoying the Great Outdoors. What he delivered was a rugged lost weekend, two near-freezing nights in the mountains, struggling hand-over-hand off the trails to find a way out, and ending with me starving by moonlight, desperate for a sight of our car.

This was in the early 1960s, before Dick became famed as the author of books like Condor Journal, a naturalist and local expert on all that flew, crawled, ran, or burrowed in our backcountry. His day job was as staff artist and promotion manager at the Santa Barbara News-Press, working in a tiny second-floor office just off the newsroom, his pen flying, perhaps sketching a map of the latest wildfire raging in the mountains or a book cover, one ear to the phone hearing about that latest government assault on Los Padres National Forest or to local political gossip.

Dick, I was to learn, had a keen understanding of local politics, but left politics to our boss, owner/publisher T. M. Storke, who was in the process of winning a Pulitzer at about the same time. (I did some of the editing of Storke’s pieces.)

For all this and more, Dick was harassed by his immediate boss for not spending

more time writing promotional ads, but he was highly admired in the community for his knowledge and watchdogging of the U.S. Forest Service. He came to be known as “the conscience of the county,” and the Dick Smith Wilderness was set aside by Congress in his honor.

But all this was yet to come the day he wandered over to my desk and invited me on a weekend campout. “Go down to the surplus store and buy a sleeping bag.”

I did. What I came out with was a paperthin Marine bag that looked like it had come through every battle of World War II. What a mistake. I froze every night until Father Fatigue closed my eyes.

When Dick came to pick me up Friday afternoon, my then-wife Angela met him at the door and chewed him out royally for luring me away from home and leaving her to cope with our four small children.

I soon learned that hiking with Dick Smith was not for the posy-pickers or leisureminded. Once in the Santa Ynez Mountains, we shouldered our packs and marched off, Dick pointing out every plant and bird. Soon we were off the trail and climbing. Dick was tall and rawboned. I was a desk-jockey, young and in fairly good shape but unused to endurance marathons.

When we mercifully stopped for lunch, Dick pulled out a package of hardtack and

some cheese.“Don’t eat it all,” he warned.“Save some for dinner.” I had mistakenly counted on Dick for meals.

Dick made some cowboy coffee, grounds thrown into boiling water. Then we set off in the hot sun. The prize was the glorious Sisquoc River. Dick talked nonstop about nature around us. I learned.

The next morning, after more off-trail trekking and more hardtack, cheese, and coffee, and an even colder night in that thin sleeping bag, we set off homeward. But where was the trail?

It turned out that Dick didn’t like trails or beaten paths of any kind. He called Yosemite “a honky-tonk.”

So began a daylong trudge back to his parked car somewhere up ahead, as we broke trail. Darkness fell. I was freezing in a thin shirt as we struggled up a mountain, Dick refusing to admit that he was lost. The road to Santa Barbara was surely over the next ridge.

It must have been close to midnight when we threw ourselves in his car and headed home.

That was my last overnighter with Dick, but I emerged with a deep hankering for the open spaces that led to many family trips to Yosemite, where the kids and I even climbed Half Dome.

Dick, wherever you are, maybe perched on a mountaintop in Heaven scanning for condors, thanks. And on behalf of Angela,

Whitey (Walter) Stefens 05/21/27-12/31/16

This will be the first Father’s Day, without my Dad, Whitey (Walter) Stefens. A memorial is scheduled this Sunday, on June 18, from 4 to 7 pm, in the Koa Lanai, upstairs Chuck’s Waterfront Grill. This is a no-host event.

Dad accomplished so much during his 89-years of life. Born in Pennsylvania, he had a dream of becoming a Deep Sea Diver. As a young teenager, he began working as a line tender for his father, an early construction diver.

He also worked as a rigger in an east coast shipyard.

On January 31, 1948, Dad was only 20 years old when he married Mom, “Isabelle Stefens.” Within 2-years of marriage, Dad applied, and was accepted, to attend a Deep Diving School in California - and they had their 1st of 8 children!

In 1950, with only $20 in his pocket and big determination in his spirit, he started his journey across the United States alone, in his 1936 Chrysler. He worked his way from the east coast to the west coast, taking a variety of jobs to earn enough money to support Mom and to complete his trip.

Through this experience he became an accomplished mechanic and developed invaluable work ethic.

Dad made it to California and rented a room for $8 per week. Then he got an apartment in Wilmington, located near the diving school. Dad, Mom and their baby shared this tiny apartment with 2 other diving students. While Dad attended diving school, he also worked for Douglas Aircraft, making $1.25 per hour. Mom said, “THESE WERE GREAT DAYS! None of us had any money, we shared the cooking and mostly ate macaroni or pancakes.”

Dad became an abalone diver.

Wealth did not come easy. He was color blind which made it even harder for him to find abalone. Dad became known for his determination - he would never give up! He also operated a fishing boat and trapped lobster.

As a young child, I remember growing up with very little money, but always having plenty of lobster and abalone to eat.

Between 1949 to 1963, Dad and Mom were blessed with 8 children.

Between 1959 to 1962, my parents tragically lost 3 of these children. Before I turned 5 years old, I lived through the death of my 3 brothers. I witnessed tremendous grief in my family, along with amazing love. This experience has graced my life to appreciate each day and live every moment.

In 1964, Dad moved his family to Santa Barbara. He worked with Lad Handleman, Dan Wilson, Bob Ratclif 18

to design and use, gas diving equipment. They found great success in the oil industry as General Offshore Divers, and became Cal Divers, formerly known as Ocean Systems. Whitey remained at the helm until the early 1990s.

Dad purchased a working barge and named it, “ISABELLE.” It made me smile to see this barge in the Santa Barbara Harbor with Mom’s name.

For 62½ years, Dad kept his marriage commitment, up until Mom passed on September 25, 2011.

Whitey’s claim to fame was his many innovative and well-structured underwater pipeline hookups. His mechanical genius and tenacity helped to save much of our offshore oil industry. One of his great accomplishments is the containment tent that was successfully placed over a well blow out off the coast of Santa Barbara in 1969.

In 2007, Walter Stefens was inducted in the Commercial Diving Hall of Fame. Photos of Dad are on display at the Waterfront Grill with more history, videos and information at the Maritime Museum in Santa Barbara.

Dad also enjoyed woodworking.

He perfected skills to build tables, chairs, cabinets, desks, playhouses, boats and anything he could imagine. Family and friends now have in their homes, Dad's one-of-a-kind, handcrafted furniture. Dad created wooden plaques and benches for me, that I have painted designs on through the years. My Father has inspired me more than anyone, to pursue art and follow my dreams. He has given me, and many others, the tools, inspiration and encouragement to be creative.

I thank God for my Dad, and for all those Dads out there, working to inspire the children in their lives.

With so much LOVE, Karen Putnam

and lived in a suburb of Detroit, Roseville until 1962. They enjoyed many family vacations in Northern Michigan, one of their favorite places being Burt Lake where they camped out in a tent under the Pine Trees and enjoyed swimming every day. Then, on a family trip to California in 1962 to visit relatives, they decided to make the move to Oxnard, California.

Pat stayed home to raise her kids and at 50 years old re-entered the job market and went to work in the accounting department at 3M Laboratories in Ventura, California, where she worked for 13 years. In retirement, Pat and Frank bought a camper and traveled the United States, visiting friends and relatives and seeing several National Parks. They also traveled to Hawaii. In 2010, she moved to Valle Verde Retirement Home in Santa Barbara to be near her daughter and son-in-law. She enjoyed her new home making friends and participating in activities.

Pat is survived by her daughter, Anita Mills (Allen) of Santa Barbara, Steven Tricomo of Queen Creek, Arizona and Joseph Tricomo of McAllster, Oklahoma, 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Valle Verde and Assisted Hospice of Santa Barbara for their loving care of our Mother.

02/17/22-05/14/17

Our sweet Mother/Grandma Pat passed away on Mother’s Day at Valle Verde Retirement Village in Santa Barbara at the age of 95. She had a long and wonderful life.

She was born the third of four children to James Lester and Bonnie Adair in Caruthersville, Missouri. She lived in the country where her Dad had a country store and Pat would help with the candy counter. She got to try all the candy products so that she could tell everyone how good they were. As an adult, Pat didn’t favor sweets as she had her fill of candy at the store. After graduating from high school in 1940, Pat moved to Detroit to be near her sister and to work in the many jobs waiting for women in the war manufacturing plants. She had many friends and enjoyed her single life until she was 25 and met the love of her life, a handsome Italian man named Frank Tricomo. They married in 1947 and enjoyed a long marriage until Frank passed away in 2003.

California Leadership

T

hank you, Governor Brown, for leading the state of California in a direction that will provide leadership for our nation against the Trump/Bannon medieval notions about our planet’s changing climate.

Keep up the good fight. We Californians are behind you! We know the world is not flat and that climate change is real.

Thank God that Trump and Bannonites were not around when the move toward hydraulic mining was banned in California over a century ago. These deniers of good science would have crusaded to save a dying gold and silver mining industry, even as it was destroying the growing farming industry in our great Central Valley. Silt was clogging our major rivers and sources of mountain waters!

The real California gold rush has come from that research that led to the scientific farming of our Central Valley. It has fed millions across our grand nation, and worldwide, with fresh produce every year since.

This fight now is much, much bigger, with far more disastrous consequences for generations to come if it is lost. Thanks, Governor, for leading California again toward being a pioneer in science-based resource use, and all the jobs that is creating!

Healthy Teeth, Happy Pet

have good news for cat and dog owners. It presently costs as much as $700 to have a small pet’s teeth cleaned. Due to the expense, many pet owners have stopped the practice, though you cannot have a healthy pet with dirty or decaying teeth. Pus from under the gums drips into its system daily, often causing heart disease and an increase in veterinarian visits.

The Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society in Buellton is now cleaning teeth three days per week for all pets at prices that start at $175, plus an additional fee for tooth — Hazel Mortensen, Solvang extractions.

No Dukin’ Nukes

A

s your June 1 “Nukes of Hazard” cover story makes clear, informed opinion from multiple sources speaks for the unreliability of the $40 billion Groundbased Midcourse Defense (GMD) system. Its main defenders are those who have a vested interest in the program — Raytheon, other missile contractors, and the Pentagon.

One key item is missing from your article: North Korea’s repeated proposals to freeze its nuclear weapons and missiles systems if the U.S. would stop its threatening military maneuvers on North Korea’s borders (see Noam Chomsky’s interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now). Why are we not discussing this offer?

You quote a spokesperson from the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance as saying that the GMD program, while imperfect, is “better than nothing.” I would argue that it is considerably worse than nothing. It wastes $40 billion of taxpayer money, provokes North Korea into beefing up its own defenses, lulls us into thinking this failed system might protect us, and — most dangerous of all — discourages a diplomatic solution.

Joseph 'Joe' Romo went to meet his Heavenly Father on May 30th, 2017 at the age of 44. Joseph was the first-born son of Victor and Rosie, he was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital March 7th, 1973.

Joseph had four passions in his life, #1 was his love of the ocean and diving for lobsters and abalone; #2 was his love of the Beatles, ask him anything about them and you were likely to get more information than you wanted; #3 was his undying love for football, life was just not worth living after the Super Bowl until pre-season football started in August; #4 and the most important was the love and adoration for his daughter Ashley Rose. She was his heart, soul, his whole being. He loved her more than life itself.

Joseph leaves behind Ashley, his daughter, his dad and mom Victor and Rosie, his brother Eric and wife Amanda, his sister Annie and husband Eric, his nephew Landin, and nieces Siena and Isabella, plus many aunts and uncles and cousins.

iant wa waves were on the way, and Ben Andrews was going through the checklist in his head. His surfboard and wet suit were ready, plus an extra leash if a particularly powerful wipeout snapped the only tether between himself and the buoyant safety of his board. He also half-promised himself to hit the sack early, stretch in the morning, and breakfast on eggs, yogurt, and walnuts.

Mentally, he figured it’d be just another day surfing his favorite big-wave point break in Half Moon Bay, a wave called Maverick’s, where he’d maintained a steady and increasingly standout presence since riding it for the first time a dozen winters ago. “I’m pretty much always ready to go,” Andrews said. “The trick can be getting time off work.” Fortunately, a coworker at the nearby marina, where Andrews was a deputy harbormaster, offered to swap shifts. Everything was set.

Meanwhile, 2,000 miles away, hurricane-force winds howled across the Gulf of Alaska, generating a towering swell that would undulate toward Maverick’s at 25 mph.

Three days later, on Wednesday, November 9, 2016, Andrews — a born-and-raised Santa Barbara surfer who started out on an old beater fished from a dumpster— dumpster rode a 53-foot wave at Northern California’s deadliest spot, earning him $50,000 and much-deserved honor in the upper echelons of big-wave surfing.

later, he moved to the Bay Area. That’s when his old friend Gabe Venturelli arranged a special mission.

“We both had that childhood dream of scoring Maverick’s,”Venturelli said. “I finally got the boards and the balls, and it all came together. We each got a handful of waves — 40-foot faces. When you’ve been surfing your whole life and you’re finally out there [at Maverick’s]—even if you’re scared shitless — you’re going to go for it. We were both going full force that day.”

Since then, Andrews has made a point of surfing Maverick’s as much as possible, paddling out alone and gaining respect among the old guard over the years. He’s had his fair share of scares: a torn ACL, wave hold-downs that had him seeing stars. Unlike many big-wave hellmen, Andrews doesn’t train like a soldier, doesn’t jump the red-eye to Hawai‘i or Mexico to meet monster swells, and doesn’t even exude an over-the-top machismo. “I do have a competitive edge in me,” he said.

“I mean, I very much want to win at Ping-Pong. But I’m not out trying to win big-wave awards. That’s totally not me. I just surf, and I’m on the ocean all the time. I think that familiarity plays in my favor.” It doesn’t hurt, either, that he stays in shape lugging around 80-pound traps while commercial fishing for Dungeness crab, aside from his full-time Bay Area harbormaster job.

When surfers say Maverick’s is deadly, they mean it literally. In 1994, a sizable but not giant Maverick’s wave drowned living big-wave legend Mark Foo, who had flown in from his native Hawai‘i for his first-ever experience with the cold-water beast. Then in 2011, Maverick’s claimed 35-year-old Sion Milosky, also from Hawai‘i and regarded among the very best big-wave surfers on the planet. Andrews had met him a few nights before at the Half Moon Bay pub where all the surfers hung out, and they had chatted for a while. Two days later, when Andrews paddled into the lineup, a smiling Milosky greeted him like an old friend.

“I hooted for Sion as he took off on his last wave,” remembered Andrews, who didn’t realize what had happened until he made his way to the beach 30 minutes later. He saw rescuers, who had pulled Milosky from the 53-degree water, administering FORMATIVE YEARS: Ben CPR. Andrews knelt down beside the Andrews down the line at body and began rubbing his chest and Miramar, the early days of the young man who’d become, speaking into his ear, encouraging him according to a close friend, “a to come back, but Milosky was gone. low-key, passionate soul surfer.”

“Sometimes I think Sion is part of the reason for some of the waves I’ve caught,” Andrews said. “He’s up there cheering me on.”

Indeed, a force of nature shone brightly on Andrews that morning last November.“That day was really rogue,” he remembered,“just waves all over the place and tons of people out.”Andrews caught a smaller one almost off the bat, just to get the blood pumping. Then about 40 minutes later, an especially big lump appeared on the horizon. Andrews could see it a mile off, and as it approached, he wasn’t sure if he was in the right spot to catch it clean. But when it swung a bit wider, he found himself in the direct path of the bull. “It was a gamble,” he said. “I knew it could turn out to be the worst wipeout of my life, but I thought, ‘Well, I gotta go for it and just commit.’ ” That’s precisely what he did, digging hard strokes before popping to his feet as the mountain of cold ocean jacked up vertically, sending him airborne for a split second during the long slide down the wave face.

After a few turns in good form, Andrews rode the wave’s diminished

economic benefit to surrounding communities from the increased tourism generated by Carrizo Plain.

The same day Carbajal sent his letter, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra— Becerra one of Carbajal’s political mentors—delivered an 11-page ultimatum declaring that the president lacks the constitutional authority to repeal or change a national monument once it’s been designated. That power, he declared, resides exclusively with Congress. Should Trump — or Zinke — seek to modify the boundaries of any of California’s six national monuments, he vowed swift legal action.

Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris also wrote Zinke a spirited letter defending the six national monuments designated in California under the federal Antiquities Act, including the Carrizo Plain. They argued that all six designations arose out of strong bipartisan planning efforts and extensive collaboration among the federal, state, and local stakeholders and interest groups.

Neil Havlik, a longtime member of Friends of the Carrizo Plain and an urban planner by profession, takes seriously the potential threat posed by the executive order, but his concerns are more nuanced. Oil companies hold claims on about half the monument’s acreage, he said, but that’s hardly new. Multiple efforts to find black gold have ended with dry holes.

A small amount of oil is currently being pumped out of the Russell Ranch, located within the monument boundaries, and there’s an application to expand development. But all that, Havlik said, falls within the management plan painfully hammered out about 10 years ago by competing interests with a stake in the plains.

Roger Gambs, a longtime champion of the Carrizo Plain, said the executive action “does not bode well” for an ecosystem that’s home to 70 animal species that have been designated as rare, threatened, or endangered by state or federal agencies and 36 species of plants that are similarly designated.

Until the 1980s, much of the monument was owned by Oppenheimer Industries, headquartered in Oklahoma and operated mostly as a tax shelter for well-heeled investors looking to offset their wealth for tax purposes. After the company founder died in the 1980s, the Nature Conservancy— Conservancy working with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and California Department of Fish and Game — began acquiring chunks of Carrizo land.

After Clinton declared it a national monument in 2001, the really hard part— part fashioning a management plan — began in earnest. The first administrator for the BLM, Marlene Braun, sought to cut back grazing, which put her at serious cross purposes with those up the political food chain who had been appointed by then-president George W. Bush. Famously, in 2005, Braun shot herself after first killing her two dogs. The Carrizo management strife contributed significantly. Although it took years for that dust to settle, a management plan was finally adopted, and today, grazing is the key tool by which the biomass of grasslands is maintained. Cows are allowed, but their feeding is calibrated to allow grazing space for other species.

Ironically, the most immediate impact of the management plan was the disappearance of the iconic sandhill cranes whose annual mass migration to Soda Lake was spectacular.

Every year, bird watchers thronged to watch as thousands of cranes arrived. Attracting the cranes, it turned out, were the nearby barley fields that had been dry-farmed in the valley bottom. When the management plan phased out the barley, the cranes were forced to seek nourishment elsewhere. As a result, the cranes no longer reign mainly on the Carrizo Plain.

As far as Havlik’s concerned, the Carrizo Plain is just fine as it is. “It’s big. It’s remote.

There’s a quality of serenity you get from being there,” he said. “You go out there, and you n look around and just go, ‘Wow!’”

Victory at Sea Cont’d from p. 23 shoulder to safety. The whole ride lasted about 20 seconds, imbuing Andrews with a singular elation — part stoke, part humility.

“When I catch a wave like that, it’s such a bigger thing than just me,” he said. “Everything’s coming together, and for some reason, I was in that little piece of ocean and able to catch it. It was just an awesome experience, like a gift from somebody I’ve lost in my life or that feeling of being closer to God, I guess.”

It also earned him that cool 50 grand — $20,000 for winning the World Surf League’s Big Wave Award for Biggest Paddle (for catching a wave the old-fashioned way, as opposed to being towed in by a Jet Ski) and $30,000 for runner-up in the Ride of the Year category. The worldwide contest is a yearlong event where videos and photos of standout waves are submitted. A panel of surf photographers and editors, past winners, and living legends select a handful of nominees. While categories such as the best tube or worst wipeout are judged subjectively, Andrews’s Biggest Paddle win was determined by carefully measuring the wave’s size, accounting for camera angle, lens distortion, and Andrews’s height while crouched in position. His wave was calculated at 53 feet tall. No other contestant had successfully ridden a wave that size.

Andrews won unambiguously — hands down.

The whole family and a grip of good buddies accompanied Andrews to the

Back to Work After that big one, Andrews paddled back to his spot and waited patiently for another. Dozens of waves plowed through, but between the crowd and his own highly tuned wave preference, Andrews stayed put. After a few more hours, he called it a day, catching a smaller one part way in, then paddling for shore. On the way, a wall of whitewater overtook him, snapped his leash, and carried his board toward the beach. He swam the rest of the way. Near the harbor mouth, he retrieved his board — a nine-foot, six-inch “gun,” shaped by Randy Cone, a Goleta native now living in the Santa Cruz Mountains — it was remarkably unscathed.

Andrews headed home to get cleaned up and wolf down some calories before work.

He showed up 10 minutes early for his 5 p.m.-3 a.m. shift, still very much buzzing and glowing, grateful for the day he just had in the water and for the generous shiftswap offered up by his coworker. “I owe him one,” he thought. n

GLASS HALF FULL: Lake Cachuma starts this summer at its highest water level in years.

June is National Camping Month, and for many families across Southern California, there is no better place to camp than Lake Cachuma. With water levels higher after a mercifully rainy winter, this summer will be the best we’ve had in years to enjoy the reservoir’s bounty of recreational activities.

Arrive early at the lake to enjoy the cooler, often misty temperatures of the morning. Start your day at 10 a.m. with a Cachuma Lake Nature Walk, where an S.B. County park naturalist will guide you around the plants and animals that call Cachuma home. On Saturday around lunchtime, kids who love

the environment can earn a badge with the help of a naturalist in the Junior Ranger Program.

Take the sunnier afternoon to embark on an always engaging two-hour wildlife cruise, where you may spot eagles or even condors. Weekends feature nighttime fun, too, with the first fireside movie night of the summer on Friday, June 23 (and another the next Friday, June 30), plus live music from the Bob Bishop Band on Saturday, June 24.

Santa Rosa Island

Wild Pigs and Butt shots An edited excerpt from The Island: Reminiscences of Twentieth Century Ranching on Santa Rosa Island Island, now for sale on Amazon.com and at Chaucer’s Books (3321 State St.).

I

t was late afternoon and just starting to get dark when we jumped a big boar coming along the road at the top of Soledad Mountain. We got our rifles out; Uncle Bill was to the left of me and so was the hog, so I let him shoot first. He made a good shot and the pig ran across the road to the right and into a swale.

Uncle Bill put his rifle back into the scabbard, mounted up, and rode over to make sure the pig was dead. He was also pack-ing a brand new semi-automatic .22 caliber pistol, which he’d been carrying in his holster and hadn’t used yet. As I was sitting on my horse about 50 feet away, my uncle rode just uphill from the pig and he pulled out his pistol to finish him off. He fired one shot and then he stuck the pistol back into the holster, but had trouble getting it back in. I could see him jerking the pistol up and down and then “Bang!”, it went off. With a confused look on his face, Uncle Bill nonchalantly pulled his hip over with his right hand to look at his butt, and said, “Goddamit, Pete, I shot myself in the ass.”

SHOTS FIRED: In his book, Pete Healey describes the quick-draw rancher life on Santa Rosa Island.

I started laughing, but he wasn’t kidding. Even though he never said a word, it must have hurt because he stood up in his stirrups most of the way home, which took a good five to six miles of trotting. Coming down Black Mountain, he told me not to tell anybody. Trying to control my giggling, I told him I wouldn’t.

After I unsaddled the horses, I went up to the house to help my uncle with his wound. The bullet went through the outer part of his butt cheek, then struck the cantle of the saddle, and ended up in his boot. It was a clean wound, so I got a syringe full of hydrogen peroxide and pumped it through the upper hole and flushed it out the bottom.

I kept my word and didn’t say anything to anybody, but when Uncle Bill came limping into the bunkhouse kitchen the next morning for coffee, I started laughing. My uncle was a good sport and told everybody what happened. From then on, he always referred to that pistol as his “ass shooting gun.”

N

ot far from the site on Santa Rosa Island where archaeologists in 1959 discovered the 13,000-year-old Arlington Man —still the oldest human remains found on our continent—researchers this week unearthed yet more evidence of the nent life and times of the very first Americans.

Beneath the main house of the historic Vail & Vickers Ranch, which is getting a new foundation and being converted to visitor lodging, researchers uncovered barbed points and crescents —made from a rock called chert—that chert ancient Chumash people used for fishing and hunting. The find reinforces the increasingly popular theory that the New World was populated not by big game hunters migrating by land bridge through Siberia but by seafaring peoples from Northeast Asia following the Kelp Highway into the Americas.

The stone tools, quite thin and sophisticated in their structure, look almost identical to 16,000-year-old artifacts found in Japan. Archeologists like University of Oregon’s Dr. Jon LONG AGO: Many of today’s Chumash Erlandson, a leading expert on families can trace their heritage ancient Channel Island peoples, directly to Santa Rosa Island. have noted that rich kelp forests from Japan to Baja California supported similar marine life (sea otters, abalone, urchins, and shellfish), which may have enticed Paleocoastal natives to head west.

Erlandson this week highlighted the abundance of archaeological knowledge gleaned from the northern Channel Islands. “[They] have one of the largest and most significant clusters of early coastal sites in the Americas, with more than 100 sites over 7,500 years old,” he said. Erlandson suspects the Vail & Vickers site is at least 10,000 years old, “with evidence of some of the earliest people on the West Coast.” That far back in history, the sea level was at least 150 feet lower than it is today, and the Northern Channel Islands were joined together as one big land mass. The fertile lowlands and estuaries would have served as hunting grounds for fish and waterfowl.

The native populations of the Channel Islands were primarily Chumash. In fact, the word Michumash means “makers of shell bead money” and was used by their mainland counterparts to refer to those living on the islands. Many of today’s Chumash families can trace their heritage directly to Santa Rosa Island, where up to 1,200 people inhabited at least nine historic village sites including Hichimin near the Vail & Vickers main ranch complex, which was constructed sometime after 1869.

Work on the ranch house has been suspended as researchers continue to sift through the property, which the Vail & Vickers families operated as a sheep and cattle ranch for more than 150 years. Its buildings are among the oldest wood-framed structures in Santa Barbara County.

What Makes DaDs so …

A

Not-MoM?

group of young dudes in Spokane, Washington, recently put an ad on Craigslist for a “BBQ Dad” who’d be willing to man the grill at their Father’s Day backyard burger roast. They told the local news station their own dads don’t live nearby and they aren’t up to the challenge of filling their shoes. Duties would include flipping patties while drinking beer, talking about lawnmowers, and referring to the hosts as Big Guy, Chief, Sport, and Champ.

They got a few takers.

I’m learning there’s nothing quite like the bond between a boy and his dad. Moms get a lot of reverence lobbed our way, mostly because of the way people just spring to life right there between our hips. The truth is that when my kids need comfort—or, alternately, a taloned and shrieky advocate on their behalf —there’s really no substitute for mom.

Also, I keep them alive by cramming the occasional wad of produce down their protesting pieholes.

However, when my sons get talking about their dad, their words reveal less a reverence than a rapport. Less a biological tenderness than an utterly rational fondness.

Our youngest, age 11, says he and his dad like the same stuff.

Board games. Football. The Back to the Future trilogy. Chocolate oldfashioned donuts. Plus, Dad’s useful in a way that I’m not. “I go to Dad if there’s a giant spider on my wall or if I need help fixing something,” he says.“Or let me rephrase: if I need him to fix something.”

Dad compares favorably to comic-book fathers. “He isn’t like Calvin’s dad in Calvin and Hobbes, telling me that shoveling the walk builds character; he’s really nice,” email: starshine@roshell.com the kid says. “I always go into his office when I get home and he’ll ask how my day was. He’s like my New York Times for our household; he tells me everything that’s going on and reminds me that I need to practice my trumpet and throw the ball for the dog.”

The child especially likes that his pop has coached him through seven years of sports of all sorts: “He knows how to coach a team because his dad did that for him when he was a kid, and he wants to give it back. And I’ll probably be coaching my kids’ teams. I’d be lucky if I was able to coach as good as he does.”

Still, he doesn’t want to be exactly like Dad. “He curses a lot in front of his children—mostly because his archenemy is gravity. He hates it when things fall, and he always says, ‘If I put it there, why won’t it stay there?!’

He actually gets really mad, and I just laugh and he gets even more mad.”

What did he inherit from his father? “My long fingers and tight hamstrings. I do hate gravity, also, actually.”

Our older son, 18, describes his dad as patient, attentive, thoughtful, funny, fair, honest, creative, and able. (For those keeping score at home, I might net two of those, and only if I hadn’t just asked him to get his %^¢&@#$ laundry out of the dryer.)

Why’s Dad so great? “He acts like a kid. Growing up with him playing Lego Star Wars, watching SpongeBob SquarePants together, and talking about football was so fun. It made me more comfortable around adults because Dad showed me that on the inside, we’re all kids. On the other hand, it left us to do most of the adulting — like when he would fight me and my brother for who got the biggest slice of cake.”

So what do you think “being a dad” means then? “Being supportive but not overbearing. Dad was always invested in everything I was doing.

When I was into drumming, he spent hours setting up our garage for band practices. When I was into CrossFit, he joined and started doing it, too. I’m excited for him to be invested in my new dream to become a male stripper.

“Love you, Dad-yo. Happy Father’s Day!”

OPENING SCENES: Below, Mayor Helene Schneider welcomed Bill Pintard and his Santa Barbara Foresters to their new home at Pershing Park.

The club has brought six National Baseball Congress World Series trophies (above) to the city.

odger Stadium has nothing on Pershing Park when it comes to scenic backdrops. Instead of the distant San Gabriel Mountains, spectators at the ballpark near the Santa Barbara waterfront enjoy a high-definition view of the Santa Ynez range looming over the Riviera. There are palm trees, of course, but L.A. has nothing like the Moreton Bay fig tree that stands majestically behind first base; it is a sibling of the giant tree near the train station.

The inauguration of Pershing Park as the home field of the Santa Barbara Foresters occurred last Friday evening. The festivities began with the parading of six National Baseball Congress World Series trophies to home plate. Among the escorts were Dylan Axelrod, a pitcher on the first Santa Barbara team to win the national championship in 2006; Vaughn Wipf and Bill Oakley, players on the original Foresters teams of the 1950s; and Bob Abramson, a loyal fan known as the “Rip-It Dude” for his exhortations from the stands.

Kailey Wipf, 14-year-old granddaughter of Vaughn, sang the national anthem; Mayor Helene Schneider tossed the ceremonial first pitch (in bowling, it would have been a strike); and at 6 p.m., it was time to play ball.

It was a successful evening for the Foresters both on and off the field. They outscored the visiting Orange County Riptide, 7-4, with a display of timely hitting, clutch pitching, and error-free defense. The bleachers were filled by some 300

Players from Texas and Texas Tech are on their way.

But the Foresters will have to wait for five prospects from TCU and Cal State Fullerton who are playing in the College World Series.

With 23 more home games on the Foresters’ home schedule, Pershing Park will be alive with the sound of baseball every weekend through July 20-23.

ROYAL ROUNDUP: The girls of San Marcos High

earned some curtain calls at the end of the scholastic sports year. Hailee Rios and the Royals softball team made it all the way to the CIF Division 4 championship game, where an undefeated Buena squad proved to be too much. The Royals had two finalists in the CIF State Track and Field Championships: senior Erica Schroeder, making her third appearance in the 800-meter run — which she won as a sophomore — finishing sixth in a season’s best time of 2:09.53; and junior Allie Jones, seventh in the 100 hurdles.

fans. They were bathed in sunshine for almost two hours, and then the lights kicked in — a feature lacking at UCSB’s diamond, the Foresters’ home for 26 previous years.

Sales were brisk at the concession stands. Craft beer was dispensed at $5 a cup, and by the fifth inning, the keg was drained.

Homegrown player John Jensen drove a long single into right center for the Foresters’ first hit. Jensen later finished off a triple in the fifth inning with a headfirst dive.“The dirt’s nice and soft,” Jensen said.Already, the club’s investment in improving the field — replacing the grass baselines with tons of new dirt — had paid off.

The Foresters won again Saturday, shutting out the Long Beach Legends, 7-0, with six dominant innings from starting John pitcher Daniel Vasquez of Tennessee.

But their staff is not at full strength, and on Sunday afternoon they went down to a 7-1 defeat at the hands of the Ventura 6/18: Baseball: Academy Barons at Santa Barbara Foresters After Pirates. nonleague games against Southern Nevada on Friday and Saturday, the Foresters “The cavalry is riding in soon,” said Bill will return to California Collegiate League action Sunday afternoon.

first five games, including three RBIs and three hits in Santa Barbara’s home opener. Jensen was an all-league third baseman at Santa Barbara High and he finished his freshman year at SBCC as the Western State Conference North Player of the Year, hitting for a .380 average in conference games.

DOWN TO THE WIRE: Three runners battled it out in the final block of the women’s elite race during the 18th annual State Street Mile on June 4. A late surge by UCSB grad Tori Tsolis carried her to a new record of 4:22, rewarding her with a $1,000 bonus. The men’s elite race was won

by Darius Terry, a UCSB assistant coach, in 3:54, as eight runners broke four minutes.

ELITE EIGHT: San Marcos senior Kento Perera concluded

his prep tennis career by advancing to the CIF individual quarterfinals. Vanderbilt recruit Adam Sraberg of HarvardWestlake defeated the four-time Channel League champion, 6-3, 7-5. Perera will continue his education at Stanford.

COACHING LEGENDS: As a UCSB basketball player, Gene Snyder scored the Gauchos’ first basket of the 1948-49 season against UCLA, in the Westwood debut of John Wooden as coach of the Bruins. Snyder, a true gentleman himself, went on to become a winning coach at Santa Barbara High and retired as the school’s principal. He died at

A fiery speech by Fletcher could make the most laid-back kid want to go out and tackle somebody. He n died at 84 in Alba, Texas.

Bacara Blast

W

hile Santa Barbara might like to show off, it still

puts its fancy pants on one leg at a time. On June 25, those festive, fantastic trousers are going to be at the Bacara as it celebrates the first anniversary of the remake/remodel of its main restaurant Angel Oak with a party called One Under the Sun. Guests will get to feast on special dishes, enjoy drinks from local wineries and breweries, and take in our coastline from a gorgeous site.

“We will have a wood-fire grill on the lawn with sliders, house-made porchetta, beer-can chicken, sweet corn salad, assorted flatbreads, a special ‘fryer’ station, assorted celebratory desserts, and more,” says Vincent Lesage, executive chef. “None of these items are on our regular menu. We are having fun with this event. It’s a special occasion to be adventurous and try new things while still representing [the] care and quality of our regular Angel Oak experience.”

That regular experience can feature items like abalone from neighbor The Cultured Abalone, served with house-made angel hair pasta, rainbow chard, lemon beurre blanc, or local vegetables from Winfield Farm and Ellwood Canyon Farms. Chef Lesage says, “Our goal is to deliver the very best ingredients, and luckily for us, the best ingredients are found right here in our own backyard.”

That local focus works for libations, too (don’t miss the Goleta emphasis)—at the party, one can sample drinks from Captain Fatty’s Craft Brewery, Cebada Vineyard, Draughtsmen Aleworks, Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard, M.Special Brew Co., Pence Ranch, Solminer, The Brander Vineyard, and Third Window Brewing Co. “Angel Oak is more accessible than you might think,” Lesage points out. “It’s not only for special occasions. We have several locals who come to the bar, have a glass of wine or cocktail, and enjoy the ocean views. We love that!”

Lesage also stresses, “This is just the beginning of many events that we have planned for locals.” — George Yatchisin

• Wine Guide

at the Museum of Natural History 30 years ago, the walk-around tasting format was a bit of a novelty, so there wasn’t much competition from other events. Today, not a weekend goes by without the opportunity to enjoy a wine-soaked affair, so even this three-decade-old stalwart must continually assess how to stay a top ticket on the social calendar, as it remains one of the museum’s primary fundraisers of the year.

For 2017, that meant adding “+ Food” to the festival’s official name, a recognition of how critical the culinary side of the equation has become.

At this year’s fest on June 24, there will be 30 food purveyors including the new additions Loquita, The Bear and Star, Pico, and Corazon Cocina, among others. Popular returnees include Barbareño, Via Maestra 42, Industrial Eats, and Ca’ Dario, whose sage butter ravioli has reached legendary status over the years.

“I’ve been to many wine festivals where there was either minimal food or the food booths were separate from the wineries and too crowded to get to,” explained Meridith Moore, the museum’s events manager and chair of the fest, who says that the food vendors are often treated as afterthoughts.

“Because we believe in promoting every vendor at the festival, we want to honor our amazing food vendors and make sure the guests get to enjoy the tastes and also meet the chefs.”

This year will also feature two popular components that were added in 2016 — Sparkling Way, a path full of tastings from a number of sparkling wine producers, and the Redwood Lounge, a VIP experience that allows guests to enter an hour earlier and experience private tastings from Margerum and Hilliard Bruce wineries.

But while the additional bells and whistles may attract some new attention to the festival, it’s what hasn’t changed in 30 years that keeps dedicated fans coming back. First of all, it’s minutes from

hen the Santa Barbara Wine Festival began

downtown Santa Barbara, which means walking or at least Uber distance for South Coast residents rather than having to figure out how to get to and from wine country safely and cheaply. Then there are the museum’s meandering trails through oak tree-shaded groves, which are much more charming and comfortable than the usual wine fest setting of a wide-open lawn or dirt lot.

And finally, there are the wineries, all 50 of which are directly invited by Moore and her team.

Though dominated by Santa Barbara brands, there are a few out-of-town participants, such as Tablas Creek from Paso Robles and De Paolo from Arroyo Grande, not to mention beer offerings from Third Window and Pure Order. But the real bonus is that many of Santa Barbara’s pioneers, such as Richard Sanford of Alma Rosa, Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat, and Bob Lindquist of Qupé, have personally participated in the event since its inception.

They’re almost always holding court at their booths, often with older vintages to share hiding beneath the tablecloths.

“I don’t do many tastings, but this one is special,” said Drake Whitcraft of Whitcraft Winery, whose late father, Chris, poured the first event. “It has more of a party feel while still having good tasters in the crowd.”

DINNER DILEMMA: The new hours at Cody’s Café are 6 a.m.-3 p.m. after the restaurant discontinued nightly dinner service on June 5.

drops nightly dinner Service

A

n alarm went off in my inbox last week from

nearly a dozen readers who were mourning the loss of nightly dinner service at the popular Cody’s Café at 4898 Hollister Avenue in Goleta. Dinner will be available by appointment for parties of 15 or more. While I visited the premises at about 6 p.m. to confirm the news, car after car drove up to Cody’s for dinner, and I had to let each of them know the news and encouraged them to come back for breakfast and lunch, which is still available, or schedule a group meal for evening hours. One of the regulars who drove up told me that Cody’s usually has a line out the door for breakfast, and that dinner, though not packed, usually had a healthy supply of customers.

There were many customers for dinner while I was there, though they couldn’t get in. Readers tell me that Cody’s liquor license is being sold and that they will continue to serve beer and wine.

A sign on the front door of Cody’s Café reads as follows: “Hello, and thank you for dining at Cody’s!

Some changes are happening here at Cody’s, and we are really excited about them. Starting today, Monday June 5th, our new hours are 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. We will continue to open in the evenings for parties of 15 or more. If you are interested in scheduling a fun dinner with us, please speak to the hostess or call and talk to a manager. We have some exciting new menu items as well, so please look over the menu and enjoy your meal. Thank you so much and we appreciate your patience and understanding during these changes. Thank you!

Cody’s Management and Staff.”

SAGE & ONION TO BECOME WORKER BEE CAFÉ: Reader Ted spotted a change of ownership sign at 5599 Hollister Avenue in Goleta, the current home of Sage & Onion, which continues to be open for business. I called Sage & Onion and was told that Worker Bee Café, which has a location at 973 Linden Avenue in Carpinteria, purchased the eatery in April. Worker Bee Café will retain a few menu items from Sage & Onion and complete the transformation in a few weeks.

DRIVE-THROUGH STARBUCKS UPDATE: Last week, I

Call Today to Get Started! – 805-419-0202 44

mentioned that a drive-through Starbucks is com-

ing to Santa Barbara or Goleta and that the location is unknown. Reader Alex says that Starbucks is building its new drive-through location on the vacant lot at the southeast corner of Turnpike and Calle Real, between In-N-Out Burger and IHOP. This information has not been confirmed, so it falls squarely under the “rumor” category for now.

This is the same location where a sign was posted briefly two years ago that read: “John’s Burger and Mixed Use Development.” If this rumor is true, you will someday be able to cruise Turnpike for a Double-Double and Frappuccino without ever leaving your car. Perhaps IHOP will consider adding a drive-through so we can complete a mobile trifecta with buttermilk pancakes.

LA HACIENDA UPDATE: Reader Fay gave me an

update about La Hacienda, which will soon be reopening at 298 Pine Avenue in Goleta. She said the doors were open at La Hacienda in Goleta recently and so she poked her head in to ask, “How soon is ‘coming soon’?” I am told that the lady inside doing cleanup said hopefully La Hacienda will open next week.

THE POKÉ INVASION: In 2008, we experienced “The

Cupcake Invasion.” In 2009, we had “The Frozen Yogurt Invasion.” In 2011, “The Food Truck Invasion” rolled into the South Coast. Then 2014 was officially the year of “The Build-Your-Own Pizza Invasion.” It now appears that 2017 is the year of “The Poké Invasion,” as numerous poké restaurants have popped up or are scheduled to arrive soon. Reader Don got a sandwich recently at Ike’s Love & Sandwiches of Isla Vista when he noticed that another poké place is coming our way. I’m told that the name of the restaurant will be Pokirrito and that the address is 6530 Seville Road, the former home of Shave It Nation. PokeCeviche will be opening nearby on Pardall Road in addition to a new location in Paseo Nuevo. HiWi Tropical Fusion of Isla Vista opened in January and includes poké on the menu. PokeMee now serves the popular dish in Hollister Village Plaza, as does the new Big Eye Raw Bar in Santa Barbara Public Market and Kanaloa Seafood on Chapala.

Punk and DisorDerly DisorDerly ConstruCt. at the arts FunD gallery. shows through July 16.

T

he title of this group show, DisorDisor

Inscrutable ink portraits of author John Fowles spread across the Arts Fund’s Gail Berkus wall in Karl Petrunak’s Daniel Martin project. Stuck without a studio to work in, the artist took a discarded copy of Fowles’s

ters, the font growing and shrinking like some lunatic optician’s chart.

While all the artists in the show reveal something sharp about their practice, Richard Ross applies the most pressure to his edge. He attributes the images on view to his father, an amateur photographer and admirer of the unclothed female form. Nearby, Nancy Gifford alludes to another set of “Crazy Times” with a large rear-view portrait of a faceless male, his back crisscrossed with the straps of a straitjacket and his bristly hair a dense and tactile forest of graphite strokes.

It’s unsettling, and adds a dimension of human physicality to the more cerebral smaller works by Gifford on display in the gallery’s opposite corner. Taken together, these complex and intricately interrelated images, inspired in part by Leonard Cohen’s final admonition to “Make It Darker,” constitute a heartfelt artistic response to the hard political times that are upon us. As one of Gifford’s titles has it, we are looking at “Heaps of Trouble.”

But that doesn’t mean we won’t make it through, and no one expresses that hopeful sentiment more fully— fully or more ruefully — than Maria Rendon. Her diptych painting on vellum is part of a series called “Two by Two,” and like the creatures on board Noah’s Ark, these lucky refugees shine from within with a life and a hope of their own.

derly Construct, puns on the idea that the work on display breaks the law, even if by “the law” we just mean the expectation that each of the eight artists involved will employ their usual “lawful” media and process.

What’s exciting about the criminal connotation of “disorderly” is how far some are willing to go to achieve what the invite describes as an “unexpected edge.” For curator/participant Giuliana Mottin, who organized the show along with Hugh Margerum, the urge toward disorder results in something of a paradox, as her contribution, a painting called “In My Womb” from 2017, abandons the paint-drop drip technique of her “Daily Candy” series in favor of complex and elegantly crafted hard-edged abstraction in the manner of Frederick Hammersley and Stuart Davis.

There’s paradox at work, as well, in the way that Hank Pitcher’s interest in classic Attic Greek “Heaps of Trouble” by Nancy Gifford and Roman ceramics led him to create small tiles and deck them with simpli- novel and drew his face over and over on its fied black and white images, details drawn pages from memory. Like a book read on from his familiar and large-scale full color a strange journey, the work is somehow at paintings. Pitcher’s ceramic surfers, beach once eerie and comforting. Across the space dogs, palm trees, and birds may have been and around the door, Linda Daniels has inspired by ancient Greece, but from another pinned hand-cut colored film to a wall drawangle they appear to have sprung from the ing in a sidelong, Lewitt-flavored homage punks of Venice Beach. Of course this is to Matisse.

UCSB Art ArtSS & LeCtUre reSS 2017-18 SeASon Arts & Lectures (A&L) likes to start things off with a rush, and 2017-18 will be no exception. In the first 10 days of programming alone, audiences will get a chance to see six spectacular performances: Lila Downs (Sept. 27), Lang Lang (Oct. 1), Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (Oct. 3), and Bill Murray (Oct. 6), as well as Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles (Oct. 4) and Samantha Bee (Oct. 5). Each of these shows represents the opening of an individual series within the larger scope of A&L’s offerings. For example, Bee is part of the Talking Heads series, which will also include Ira Glass, Trevor Noah, and Mike Birbiglia. Bill Murray and Lang Lang belong to the Marquee lineup, joining the Israel Philharmonic (Nov. 1), mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato (Apr. 15, 2018), and six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald (May 15, 2018) on that list.

On the lectures side, A&L will introduce a new series called Speaking with Pico, which the writer/ moderator kicks off with novelist Zadie Smith (Oct. 11).

Theater fans have a lot to look forward to, as well, with the West Coast debut of Michèle Anne De Mey and Jaco Van Dormael’s Charleroi Danses piece Kiss & Cry (Apr. 7-8, 2018). This innovative theater company from Brussels uses miniature sets and dancing fingers along with music and film to tell an emotionally charged story of love and loss. Later that month, the New York–based theater company Bedlam will arrive for a two-night stand, offering two separate programs: Trevor Noah George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan (Apr. 19, 2018) and William Shakespeare’s Hamlet (Apr. 20, 2018). Jazz piano prodigy Joey Alexander, who made his Santa Barbara debut last year, returns with his trio (Apr. 29, 2018) and anchors a healthy dose of jazz that includes the Squirrel Nut Zippers (Mar. 1, 2018) and Arturo O’Farrill (May 17, 2018). The dance programming will be rich, with seven shows including everything from Balinese gamelan to French hip-hop. Studding the list of major companies are Pilobolus and the Mark Morris Dance Group, whose piece, Pepperland Pepperland, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Finally, three special events that seem likely to provide the kind of spiritual uplift that all of us crave these days are the following: Bill Murray, who teams up with a chamber trio for an evening of classic American poetry and song (Oct. 6); former U.S. VP Joe Biden (Oct. 21); and perennial holiday favorite Pink Martini (Dec. 2).

WHERE’S THE DROP?: On Thursday, June 15, Dropout, the fun-loving, Santa Barbara–bred electronic duo of Ray Nowak and Ethan Davis, drop down to SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St., sohosb.com) in a We the Beat performance at 9 p.m. Known for their personnel overlap with acts FMLYBND and Candyland, the dance inducement of Dropout will surely follow their tradition of making some of the best and most widely known electronic music from the 805 today, but with a new twist.

This beat-dropping duo departs from their EDM foundations to take on a new form with live instrumentation. So far, they’ve already built up a successful sound — their song “Slowly” was a No. 1 viral Spotify track. For Davis, who has worked as one-half of Candyland and the drummer for FMLYBND, Dropout is about musical integrity. “We’re putting the integrity back into dance music, taking the energy of a dance music show and integrity of a live show to make the best of both worlds,” he said.

Candyland was a success, he said, but it didn’t fully satisfy his soul. He yearned to play something “that requires actual musical ability,” instrumentation beyond the laptop. It did, however, prove his dreams could come true.

“The commercial ability and success in Candyland made me believe it’s actually possible; I grew up with people saying it’s an amazing hobby but you can’t make a living off of it,” he said. Dropout, he said, is “more sustainable. I feel better about it and representing where my heart and head’s at, rather than just deejaying,” Davis partnered with Nowak, who helped envision a “more unique group not just restricted to one genre,” Nowak said. He saw in drummer Davis a frontman: “I’m really truly excited to see Ethan at the front of the crowd again, and potentially try to crowd surf, and potentially we’ll take all our clothes off.”

The two started Dropout to free themselves of expectations. Both college dropouts, Davis said the name “is more about dropping out of anything in life you think you’re settling to be a part of.” They were spurred to create the band after a fateful night spent doing dance tricks with a hat in the Camino Real parking lot. Nowak joked that their new project serves to fund not just musical dreams but aquatic ones: “I have this dream for Ethan — it’s not even his dream — that he gets crazy rich and famous and opens an aquarium and a vineyard and throws huge parties on his boat.”

They confess that while they love to start parties, it’s really their fans who are the craziest partiers. The two give an affectionate shout-out to their friend (and Nowak’s cousin) The Hurricane, a legendary Gaucho good-timer who recently placed 15th in a national javelin championship.

“He called me after he won, and said, ‘Ray, I left $3,000 worth of javelins on the field, and I’m drunk, and all I can think about is the Dropout show,’” Nowak said.

HALE MERRY: On Friday, June 16, at the Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St., lobero.org), Hale Milgrim returns with another series of carefully curated selections of rare rock concert footage and inside stories. From his start at Isla Vista’s Discount Records all the way up to his position as president/CEO of Capitol Records, Milgrim has lived a life fully immersed in music. This time he goes deep, with artists such as The Quarrymen, Glimmer Twins, You Two, YNSC, Jah Bob, CBerry, and The Warlocks, all on screen. (If you’re scratching your head at some of those, the event description online explains, “Please Note: Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

eopold Mozart sired two musical prodigies.

One, his son Wolfgang, made something of a name for himself. But the other, his daughter Nannerl, was never given a chance to fulfill her potential and has been largely forgotten. Playwright and actress Sylvia Milo remedies that historical oversight in her moving one-woman show The Other Mozart, Sylvia Milo which she is performing at the Rubicon Theatre after a successful offBroadway run. It’s not a subtle piece, but it will resonate with anyone who chafes at the still-robust barriers At the Rubicon Theatre, to women’s advanceWed., June 7. Shows ment. through June 18.

A highly expressive actress, Milo tells Nannerl’s story in the first person, focusing mainly on her adolescent years, when she and her younger brother toured Europe as a piano duo. Using Wolfgang and Leopold’s letters as source material (Nannerl’s were destroyed, along with all of her & entertainment compositions), she offers a vivid portrait of

has the chance to experience it. On “Peace of Mind,” for instance, the vocal harmonies backing up Tommy DeCarlo’s booming voice over the chorus were flawless. All parts that make up Boston — drums, guitars, keys, and everything else — were executed perfectly.

In the second half of Boston’s consistently spectacular set, Scholz introduced a gentleman waiting in the wings who planned to propose to his girlfriend, Melissa, who was in the audience. The stage crew darted the spotlight through the crowd until she was found.

Melissa went to the stage and said yes, and the newly engaged couple embraced while Pihl strummed the first chords on “Amanda.”

The stage was set for DeCarlo to substitute the name referenced in the song with, maybe, another recently mentioned, three-syllable name? That would have propelled Boston’s S.B. show into almost unbelievable fantasy.

For now, they remain just exceptionally good.

n online promo for Boston’s newest Hyper Space Tour states that the rock legends deliver song performances “faithful to their studio recordings.” After their show on Sunday, June 11, at the Santa Barbara Bowl, fans in attendance would consider that claim a massive understatement. Ironically, those studio recordings sound soothing, almost dreary, compared to the live versions’ searing-hot Tom Scholz energy and absurdly pinpoint musicianship. Backed by brand-new visual accompaniment that charmed and awed despite the occasional over-the-top silliness At the S.B. Bowl, (one scene depicted the Sun., Jun. 11. celestial journey of an electric-guitar-shaped spaceship), the band whipped the crowd into a state of fervor, proving that their face-melting capabilities have not diminished over their four-decade career.

The nearly two-hour set contained all the expected hits, a few deeper cuts, and generous fillings of jams that transitioned between songs. Tom Scholz and Gary Pihl took turns peeling off organ and guitar solos that were huge and technically impressive.

The highlight of their constant shredding was the harmonies they played off each other. Members of Boston have often proudly pointed out the lack of backing tracks in their live shows. This fact can be respected for its merits, but not fully understood until one

a high-spirited young woman. But over time, her palpable joy and creativity get crushed as Wolfgang’s career is prioritized and their parents insist she focus on finding a husband.

They are not monsters: The family’s financial health is not good, and they are genuinely fearful for her future. Rather, the culprit is the patronizing, patriarchal society, revealed with cutting clarity in sexist remarks from some of the greatest thinkers of the day. Nannerl’s virtual imprisonment is depicted visually, as the mound of fabric she romps around in is revealed to be a giant formal dress. When she finally puts it on, she morphs into a living music box—a striking image to conclude a poignant show.

Shades of Gothic Dramedy Akin to Fargo and Twin Peaks

a

Movie Guide

s irritating and ultimately depersonalized as the interweb’s invasive personal recommendation pushiness is (“If you like this, you might like this … or this, or this, or this … credit card info here”), it can admittedly be helpful, especially in an age of overabundant options in our quest for products and cultural diversions. In that spirit: If you like TV’s Fargo and Twin Peaks, you might well like Patriot (full series now available on Amazon), which shares with those other private-screen classics certain endearing qualities (if you’re a person who likes that sort of thing). Gotta love the eccentric plot mapping, characters who don’t necessarily come clean or readily explain themselves, and a dry, quirky humor mixed with occasional bursts of ultra-violence (or the hints of afterglow thereof), cohering into a particular and peculiar new brand of gothic dramedy on the tube.

For further practical consumer advice, I would suggest absorbing the labyrinthine Patriot creator Steve Conrad’s nine-episode series binge-style to avoid distraction. (Side note: As of episode six of Twin Peaks, I still don’t really know what’s going on and how the multiple plot strands will eventually come together, and that blissful confusion is part of the addictive beauty).

My own travails — and perverse pleasure — in trying to keep the Patriot story straight was hampered by two specific problems: watching episodes sporadically while also checking out episodes of Fargo and Peaks made for a dizzy swirl of characters and plot-tracking fog. Secondly, my dog, Harper, literally ate half of my notes (yes, she ate my homework, no doubt perturbed by the big, light-emitted rectangle in the living room robbing her of attention).

On the plus side, though, these elasticized plot experiments take advantage of New TV’s fluidity and can also foil TV/film writers (and makers of dreaded movie trailers) indulging in the increasingly distressing sin of plot spoilage.

Story matters, of course, in Patriot, but so do atmosphere, an implied forward/sideways momentum rather than a clear-cut, cliffhanger-goosed exposition structure, and a certain dark mystique that is all its own.

At the center is the wonderfully unlikely hero/antihero, the depressive would-be folk singer, John Lakeman (Michael Dorman, oozing laconic charisma, and

just generally oozing and artfully moping), who has pursued his “fallback” gig — in undercover CIA work, with assassinations as a side specialty, following in the family business footsteps of CIA veteran father (Terry O’Quinn). Along the way, from John’s fake job with a piping company out of Milwaukee to covert operations in Luxembourg (love those offbeat locations, coloring the loopy feel of the enterprise), he will dip into his old life as a folkie, singing potentially incriminating lyrics about his life, suicidal instincts, and other surreal, altindie subjects.

Scenes of note, starting in the first 10 minutes, include that of our man John pushing a competitor for his piping job into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

That character, Stephen Choo (Marcus Toji), works on a gradual recovery from a debilitating brain injury, and recall of his accident, one of many intriguing subplots here. Another scene finds an especially brooding and aimless John elegantly stewing in a large concrete tube while characters from his life and murky saga walk by — his Milwaukee life passing before him.

In true espionage-genre fashion, the person of interest on his tail is a deductive detective from Luxembourg, Lucie Prum-Waltzing (Sylvie Sadarnac), tracing his potential link to a murder case. Alas, we find that character at a crossroads in her own life, a woman on a train — to a new life? — while our man John stands on the platform, awaiting the next twist of fate or song lyric inspiration. Stay tuned: The series has been greenlighted for a second season.

Special ScreeningS

The Angry Birds Movie (97 mins., PG) You will get angry if you walk into this movie believing the advertisements that claim this is the next Lego Movie. Nothing like. The first half is a poorly orchestrated setup that takes anger-issues-challenged Red from outcast to hero fighting the invasion of Bird Island by green-egg-stealing pigs. But even the characterizations seem slapdash — birds keep shifting from imbecilic to genius with hardly any notification from the scriptwriters to the audience. The second half is slapstick, and your formerly bored kids will come alive to cheer the critters better known from the world of smartphone game playing. They, and we, should have stayed there. (DJP)

O Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (136 mins., PG-13)

Sequels can be dodgy, the majority of them coming up way short of the original’s quality and appeal. Not so for the Guardians franchise, however. Vol. 2 evokes the same viewer delight as Vol. 1 while still managing to differentiate itself from its predecessor thanks to a strong script and the casts’ comic chops. The opening scene, for instance, is awash in cheeky humor as Peter Quill (aka Star Lord), Rocket, Gamora, and Drax engage in a fight to save the Sovereign people — a genetically engineered perfect and literally golden race — from attack. Time and again, Baby Groot steals the show with his impish and innocent ways, but all of the characters are captivating to watch; Drax’s deadpan deliveries are some of the most uproarious moments in the film. Amid the glut of superhero movies coming out these days, Guardians sets itself apart with its decidedly antihero characters and irreverent humor. (MD) Fiesta 5

to cope in a world that can’t identify with her trauma. Although the film fails to give resolution to several storylines within the plot, it earnestly portrays the realities of war through a soldier’s eyes.

Mara’s emotional performance conveys a complex woman who refuses to give up, and the trials she faces to adopt her canine companion is guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings. (SM). Paseo Nuevo

(91 mins., R)

A psychological thriller not quite like the others, It Comes at Night is an intriguing film that asks what happens when a family shelters from a mysterious threat far off in the forest. Playing on fears related to strangers, domestic violence, and the apocalypse, this survivalist horror flick is a surreal piece whose monstrosities come in various guises and whose script and editing prompts interesting guesswork — we, like the characters, feel lost in the woods. In a world overrun with wearingly pedestrian walking dead and dull demons that jump all too predictably from the dark, it’s refreshing to have a dramatic thought-provoker like this one.

O Wonder Woman ➤ OIt Comes at Night

“Truly Enchanting!”

(141 mins., PG-13)

In the first live-action movie to depict the origin story of Wonder Woman, actress Gal Gadot does not disappoint in her fiery and dynamic portrayal of Princess Diana of the Amazons. Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins, offers a compelling tale of Diana’s evolution from a naive warrior to a courageous heroine after she feels compelled to leave her island and follow U.S. spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) into the real world where war rages. With a shield, a sword, and the Lasso of Truth in hand, Diana fights her way through World War I–besieged England and Belgium in hopes of ending the conflict. While Pine’s character has some cringe-worthy dialogue and the plot relies on a few common superhero tropes, Gadot’s Diana — at no time is she actually referred to as Wonder Woman — makes for a refreshing and optimistic story in the otherwise grim DC Universe.

Diana is never reduced to a damsel in distress, as she is the one to save herself and the other male characters time and time again. But the movie also doesn’t downplay her femininity and ensures that she is admired for her ability to lead with compassion and love in addition to her impressive skills in combat. This makes her an authentic heroine with whom real women can identify. Wonder Woman’s passionate spirit and epic fight scenes make the movie well worth seeing. (SMcG) Camino Real/Metro 4

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of june 15 ARIES

examples: a good habit is when you’re disciplined about eating healthy food; a bad habit is watching violent TV shows before going to bed, thereby disturbing your sleep; a neutral habit might be doing Sudoku puzzles. My challenge to you, Cancerian, is to dissolve one bad habit and one neutral habit by replacing them with two new good habits. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, cosmic forces will be on your side as you make this effort.

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): You have to admit that salt looks like sugar and sugar resembles salt. This isn’t usually a major problem, though. Mistakenly sprinkling sugar on your food when you thought you were adding salt won’t hurt you, nor will putting salt in your coffee when you assumed you were using sugar. But errors like these are inconvenient, and they can wreck a meal.

You may want to apply this lesson as a metaphor in the coming days, Aries. Be alert for things that outwardly seem to be alike but actually have different tastes and effects.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Dr. Astrology: Good fortune has been visiting me a lot lately. Many cool opportunities have come my way. Life is consistently interesting.

I’ve also made two unwise moves that fortunately didn’t bring bad results. Things often work out better for me than I imagined they would! I’m grateful every day, but I feel like I should somehow show even more appreciation. Any ideas?—Lucky Leo.” Dear Lucky: The smartest response to the abundance you have enjoyed is to boost your generosity. Give out blessings.

Dispense praise. Help people access their potentials.

Intensify your efforts to share your wealth.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Here’s a possible plan for the next 10 days: Program your smart phone to sound an alarm once every hour during the entire time you’re awake.

Each time the bell or buzzer goes off, you will vividly remember your life’s main purpose. You will ask yourself whether or not the activity you’re engaged in at that specific moment is somehow serving your life’s main purpose. If it is, literally pat yourself on the back and say to yourself, “Good job!” If it’s not, say the following words: “I am resolved to get into closer alignment with my soul’s code — the blueprint of my destiny.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Years ago, a fan of my work named Paul emailed to ask me if I wanted to get together with him and his friend when I visited New York.“Maybe you know her?” he wrote.“She’s the artist Cindy Sherman.” Back then I had never heard of Cindy. But since Paul was smart and funny, I agreed to meet. The three of us convened in an elegant tea room for a boisterous conversation. A week later, when I was back home and mentioned the event to a colleague, her eyes got big and she shrieked, “You had tea with THE Cindy Sherman?” She then educated me on how successful and influential Cindy’s photography has been. I predict you will soon have a comparable experience, Virgo: inadvertent contact with an intriguing presence. Hopefully, because I’ve given you a heads up, you’ll recognize what’s happening as it occurs and take full advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actress Marisa Berenson offers a line of anti-aging products that contain an elixir made from the seeds of a desert fruit known as prickly pear.

The manufacturing process isn’t easy. To produce a quart of the potion requires 2,000 pounds of seeds. I see you as having a metaphorically similar challenge in the coming weeks, Gemini. To create a small amount of the precious stuff you want, I’m guessing you’ll have to gather a ton of raw materials. And there may be a desert-like phenomenon to deal with, as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There are three kinds of habits: good, bad, and neutral. Neutral habits are neither good nor bad but use up psychic energy that might be better directed into cultivating good habits. Here are some

LIBRA

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your life in the coming days should be low on lightweight diversions and high in topquality content. Does that sound like fun? I hope so.

I’d love to see you enjoy the hell out of yourself as you cut the fluff and focus on the pith … as you efficiently get to the hype-free heart of every matter and refuse to tolerate waffling or stalling. So strip away the glossy excesses, my dear Capricorn. Skip a few steps if that doesn’t cause any envy. Expose the pretty lies, but then just work around them; don’t get bogged down in indulging in negative emotions about them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to go gallivanting so heedlessly into the labyrinth. Or maybe it was. Who knows? It’s still too early to assess the value of your experiences in that maddening but fascinating tangle. You may not yet be fully able to distinguish the smoke and mirrors from the useful revelations. Which of the riddles you’ve gathered will ultimately bring frustration and which will lead you to wisdom? Here’s one thing I do know for sure: If you want to exit the labyrinth, an opportunity will soon appear.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Inventor, architect, and author Buckminster Fuller lived to the age of 87. For 63 of those years, he kept a detailed scrapbook diary that documented every day of his life. It included his reflections, correspondence, drawings, newspaper clippings, grocery bills, and much other evidence of his unique story. I would love to see you express yourself with that much disciplined ferocity during the next two weeks. According to my astrological analysis, you’re in a phase when you have maximum power to create your life with vigorous ingenuity and to show everyone exactly who you are.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Over the years, I’ve read numerous news reports about people who have engaged in intimate relations with clunky inanimate objects. One had sex with a bicycle. Another seduced a sidewalk, and a third tried to make sweet love to a picnic table. I hope you won’t join their ranks in the coming weeks.

Your longing is likely to be extra intense, innovative, and even exotic, but I trust you will confine its expression to unions with adult human beings who know what they’re getting into and who have consented to play. Here’s an old English word you might want to add to your vocabulary: “blissom.” It means “to bleat with sexual desire.”

CAPRICORN

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll never get access to the treasure that’s buried out under the cherry tree next to the ruined barn if you stay in your command center and keep staring at the map instead of venturing out to the barn. Likewise, a symbol of truth may be helpful in experiencing deeper meaning, but it’s not the same as communing with the raw truth, and may even become a distraction from it. Let’s consider one further variation on the theme: The pictures in your mind’s eye may or may not have any connection with the world outside your brain. It’s especially important that you monitor their accuracy in the coming days.

AQUARIUS

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You have a cosmic license to enjoy almost too much sensual pleasure. In addition, you should feel free to do more of what you love to do than you normally allow yourself. Be unapologetic about surrounding yourself with flatterers and worshipers.

Be sumptuously lazy. Ask others to pick up the slack for you. Got all that? It’s just the first part of your oracle. Here’s the rest: You have a cosmic license to explore the kind of spiritual growth that’s possible when you feel happy and fulfilled. As you go through each day, expect life to bring you exactly what you need to uplift you. Assume that the best service you can offer your fellow humans is to be relaxed and content.

Homework: Do a homemade ritual in which you vow to attract more blessings into your life. Report results at freewillastrology.com.

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 07/20/2017 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 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 the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special notice form is available from the court clerk.

Attorney for Petitioner: Jeffrey B. Soderborg; 1900 State Street, Suite M Santa Barbara, CA 93101; (805) 805‑687‑6660.
