Menaka Wilhelm is our favorite kind of intern. She’s quick, she knows her stuff, and she likes our pizza. “When I interned at Wired, they had a chef who’d worked for Chez Panisse making lunch,” she said, “but I really like the pizza here.” And she likes interviewing Santa Barbarans, too. Her interviews had been over Skype and the phone when she interned at Wired and also D.C.’s NPR (they have a cafeteria), often to other time zones. “Talking to people in person is so much nicer,” she said, having enjoyed the variety of people she talked with at the Platform Holly meeting, “from a fishing captain to all the activists.” She wondered aloud: “How do the platforms get their names? And what happened to the male names?”

Endorsements California Propositions Vote Yes on Proposition 68

Brown agreed to add his name as the only way to get the needed Republican votes to continue the state’s cap-and-trade program, which otherwise would have expired. Conspicuously lacking are the names of any other environmental advocates. If passed, Prop. 70 would require the legislature to secure a two-thirds supermajority before the next cap-and-trade plan is enacted in 2024 — which would bog the program down in gridlock. This is what happened when such two-thirds majorities were required to pass a budget some years ago. California became fiscally dysfunctional. Since abolishing this requirement, California’s budget process has improved dramatically. Let’s keep the cap-and-trade program working. Vote No on Prop. 70.

Parks and Water Protection Bond If passed, Prop. 68 would set aside $4.1 billion to fund programs designed to enhance neglected urban parks and various water conservation and underground aquifer cleanup efforts. Of this, $2.83 million would go to parks and the remainder to water projects. The need for both is immense, and the State Legislature already approved this measure by more than a two-thirds supermajority. The bulk of the parks funding would go to “parkspoor,” highly urbanized areas — for example, Isla Vista. The water projects would fund water-recycling efforts, buttress the Sacramento and San Joaquin delta levees, and clean up contaminated aquifers. Divergent groups such as the Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters support Prop. 68 because it offers small-scale solutions that can help make a real difference.

Exempts Rainwater-Capture Systems from Property Taxes

Every little bit helps, and if Prop. 72 is approved, it will exempt new rainwatercapture systems installed on residential and commercial properties from being taxed as a property improvement by county assessors and tax czars.

We don’t pretend Prop.

72 will spark a stampede for new such installations — though it would be nice if it did — but it will take out some of the sting. Currently, such exemptions are allowed for solar panels, fire sprinkler systems, and earthquake safety upgrades. This would expand the list, but for that to happen, state voters must approve changes to California’s Constitution. Not a single legislator voted against this measure, and more impressive, no one bothered even writing an argument against it. Enough said. Vote Yes on 72.

Vote No on Proposition 70

Prop. 71 reflects the relatively recent reality that about 60 percent of state voters cast their ballots by mail. Ballots cast by mail often straggle in several days after the election date and often take many more days — often weeks — to count. Under existing law, statewide ballot and bond measures take effect the day after the election date. That may have made sense in 1970, when around 200,000 voters cast their ballots by mail, but it doesn’t today, when the number is closer to eight million. Under Prop.

71, county elections officials would be given more time to count ballots and victorious measures would go into effect no later than six weeks after the election dates.

PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTO

Extends Date New Ballot Initiatives Take Effect by Six Weeks

Locks Gas-Tax Increases into Transportation Projects

The oil industry helped design Prop. 70 in an effort to hobble California’s successful and historic cap-and-trade program. Enacted to reduce greenhouse gases over time, “cap-and-trade” describes an auction where California “sells off ” pollution credits to major polluters. The money raised has been used to invest in new emissionreducing technologies. Prop. 70 would restrict this. Even though Governor Jerry Brown, a recognized environmentalist, is listed as a supporter, do not be confused.

California Governor: Gavin Newsom

Vote Yes on Proposition 71

Vote Yes on Proposition 69 Last year, the State Legislature voted to increase gas taxes by 12 cents a gallon and diesel taxes by 20 cents a gallon, thus generating roughly $5.2 billion in revenues earmarked for desperately needed road repairs.

Prop. 69 closes those loopholes that could allow the Legislature to siphon these revenues into the state’s general fund. Again, this bill enjoys across-the-aisle support. To be clear, Prop. 69 is not a tax increase. It simply mandates that funds generated from last year’s gas-tax increase be spent the way the legislature promised.

In order to add new numbers to most of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties, and part of Monterey County, the Public Utilities Commission is assigning 820 as the new area code. However, because the new code for new numbers will be sprinkled along the 805 region — a choice made to avoid forcing people in geographic swaths to switch to a new number — as of 6/2, all telephone users must add 1-805 or 1-820 to the number they dial.

Efforts to restore native grasses, shrubs, and trees to Hammond’s Meadow — known to the Chumash as Shalawa and recognized by the National Register of Historic Places — have been revived

by Channel Island Restoration. The nonprofit proposes to further abate weeds with organic citrus and clove-oil spray, restore native vegetation, and maintain the beach trail. A public meeting on 5/18 (pictured above) on the county-owned open space included nearly a dozen people of Chumash descent, who suggested that the existing ceremony circle be slightly expanded and moved to a higher vantage point.

Kim Sorensen, a PPCCC health-care provider, called the new rule an attack on morals and ethics. Medical providers being forced to withhold medical information from their patients denies patients the right to make informed decisions about their health. Full access to information is fundamental to women’s health care and rights, and the gag rule directly challenges access to information. “Politics shouldn’t —Blanca Garcia be above the need of our patients,” she said.

CANNABIS

Beauty Pageant for Pot Shops Legal Cannabis Outlets Remain More Myth Than Reality, for Now pot consumers hoping to buy recreational weed on State Street. This Friday morning, no fewer than six cannabis operators will be put through their paces at a beauty pageant for pot shops hosted by a team of City Hall administrators who will be selecting the top three. Earlier this year, the City Council decreed there would be no more than three cannabis retailers within city limits pursuant to rules adopted in the wake of Proposition 64, the 2016 ballot initiative legalizing recreational marijuana cultivation, distillation, manufacture, and retail sales. But even when the final winners are announced a couple of months from now, the victors must still endure the time-consuming process of getting building permits approved and certificates of occupancy issued.

In the meantime, he said, competition between the six candidates for recreational

dispensaries has grown sharp and intense.

“We’ve reached the stage where the cannibalistic process is starting to take place in order to preserve or replace those in line,” Wagner said. “This is the beginning of the nasty phase of things.”

City Hall has picked up the enforcement of its sign ordinance after receiving more than 80 complaints along State and Milpas streets. Violators will receive a warning, followed by a fine, and finally a criminal complaint if the offense is not corrected.

“Signs are an integral part of the cityscape and, as such, can enhance or detract from the City’s image and character,” said Acting Senior Planner Jessica Grant. “The City has a Sign Ordinance in place in order to maintain the charming character of Santa Barbara and provide a fair playing field for merchants and business owners.”

reka Oil & Gas of Santa Maria just got slammed with a $12.5 million fine from the state conservation department’s Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) for 1,500 operating violations at an oil field located in Orange County. It was the highest fine ever levied in DOGGR history. Among other things, DOGGR accused Greka of falsifying records in at least 350 reports. Citing Greka’s longstanding history of abuses — most of which took place in the Santa Maria area — DOGGR also denied company requests to drill a new injection well.

In recent weeks, Greka was also hit with a $2.1 million penalty by the Environmental Protection Agency for cleanup costs associated with the company’s Santa Maria facilities. At one point, criminal charges had been contemplated against Greka, but a private investigator hired by the company provided evidence that some of the company’s problems were the result of industrial sabotage caused by a terminated supervisor.

During the height of its troubles — about 10 years ago — Greka hired former county supervisor Mike Stoker to provide political advice and function as company spokesperson. Stoker has since been appointed director of federal EPA’s western regional offices

While the number and severity of the company’s violations have dropped in Santa Maria, Greka was consistently among the county’s biggest and most frequent offenders, according to county records tracking such matters from 2013 to 2017.

Greka did not return multiple calls for comment. According to DOGGR, the company has filed an appeal of the $12.5 million penalty. That appeal will likely be heard this —Nick Welsh fall.

Water Torture in Pini Case PAU L WE LL M A N FI LE P HOTO

T

he legal showdown between landlord Dario Pini and City Hall over the squalid conditions of Pini’s vast rental empire has come to approximate water torture.

City Attorney Ariel Calonne repeatedly told Judge Colleen Sterne last Friday he was not the least bit interested in Pini’s mental state as he berated the landlord for housing conditions that Sterne deemed a health threat to tenants. Pini’s attorney Paul Burns repeatedly blamed City Hall for refusing to give Pini the permits required to bring his units up to code. At one point, Judge Sterne tersely cut off Burns with “Mr. Burns, I don’t want to hear another word about whether the city is being the Big Bad Wolf.”

Last month, Sterne ruled that seven of Pini’s downtown rental properties needed to be taken away from his control and placed with court-appointed receiver William Hoffman. In court, Hoffman explained he’d gotten off to a slow start and that Pini had interfered as he tried to change locks at one property. Hoffman added that Pini failed to provide him any financial records. And most important, he charged, there was no money in the bank accounts.

During the trial leading up to the receivership, Pini said he had $10 million in cash to help get the job done. Initially, Hoffman

Burns said as soon as Hoffman submits a detailed request, Pini would evaluate the reasonability of it. Judge Sterne said she’s expecting from Hoffman a detailed description of needed work, a timeline, and anticipated cost.“We’re going to work toward success rather than continued bickering,” the judge said.

udge James Herman admonished attorney Brett Morris to liven up his questioning of a key witness for Plains All American Pipeline Company, lest Morris—a prosecutor with California’s Office of the Attorney General—put the jurors to sleep.

Thus far, the court case against Plains — facing 15 counts of negligence in connection with the Refugio Oil Spill of 2015—has been an exceptionally slow slog as the prosecution lays out its case. Did the pipeline company’s conduct leading up to the spill — during which 144,000 gallons of crude from a burst Plains pipeline got into the ocean — and failure to contain it afterward qualify as criminal?

Just two days into the trial, one juror expressed confusion as to what the actual charges against the pipeline company were.

Two weeks into it, Judge Herman wouldn’t allow prosecution witness Dr. Takashi Wada — Santa Barbara County’s former public-health director —to testify, finding that anything Wada had to say about the spill’s impact on human health was utterly irrelevant to any damage inflicted on sea creatures. Plains has been charged with killing sea creatures, not harming human health.

Even so, the prosecution team, which includes county prosecutor Kevin Weichbrod, managed to score points, painting Kathy Randall, the senior Plains administrator at the scene of the accident, as less than on top of things. Morris — whose laborious questioning of Randall sparked Judge Herman to warn against lulling jurors to sleep—got her to testify that she never called either of the state or federal agencies to which such spills should be reported. (Ultimately, Plains employee James Buchanon would notify the National Reporting Center more than two hours after the spill, exceeding the two-hour legal requirement for such

notifications. Since then, the law has been tightened to require notification within an hour.) Randall testified that she tried calling Clean Seas, an oil-spill emergency-response crew established and funded by the oil industry, but that she had the wrong number.

Ultimately, Randall would have to get the correct number from Elsa Arndt, then a senior emergency planner with the county’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM).

Arndt testified she asked Randall to call, noting that the agency placing such calls to Clean Seas often got tagged for the costs involved. She testified she called Randall back to make sure the call had been made.

Randall told Arndt that she tried but that she had the wrong number. Only after she gave Randall the correct number, Arndt testified, did Plains contact the cleanup crews directly.

By then, however, other agencies — OEM included—had already done so.

Arndt noted that Plains had held two “tabletop” emergency-response drills for an oil spill along Refugio before, once in 2012 and another in 2009. The 2012 drill bore an uncanny resemblance to the spill that actually occurred, flowing out to the ocean from the north side of the freeway through a culvert. In neither instance, Arndt testified, were any county emergency-response agencies invited; county emergency planners only found out about the drills after they had occurred. In neither instance, Arndt added, was County Fire invited. Instead, she noted, the Santa Maria Fire Department had been asked to participate. The site of the Refugio Oil Spill lay far outside the Santa Maria department’s service area. County Fire, by contrast, was the first agency to respond to the spill. None of this looked good for Plains; whether it qualifies as criminal negligence, however, will be up to the jury to decide. The trial is expected to last several months. n

El Centro Building Red-Tagged

R

ed flyers went up two weeks ago on the windows of the El Centro Building, which sits between Marshalls and the Lobero Theatre on East Canon Perdido Street, commanding construction to cease immediately. City officials had issued a permit for interior demolition in March, but according to Chief Building Official Andrew Stuffler, demolition work had ended and the project’s contractor, SkyeLine Construction, had started rebuilding without necessary authorization. Stuffler said that SkyeLine operator Skye McGinnes “has a history of working beyond the scope of his building permits and/or without any building permits.” Sources familiar with the El Centro situation said construction was taking place at night and over the weekends. McGinnes did not respond for comment.

According to Jason Jaeger of commercial real estate firm Jaeger Partners, which manages the space and oversees construction, “The current owners are bringing the El Centro Building into compliance with ADA and city building codes.” Jaeger said the remodel should be complete by the end of 2018. Jaeger Partners purchased the property for $8 million in July and announced in September that rents would be tripling and quadrupling across its 28 suites. Many longtime tenants, including nonprofits, therapists, and a theater company, have since moved out. Jaeger Partners has stated it would like to bring in “wine tasting tenants” to occupy the building’s first floor, formerly rented by Voice Magazine.

against one operator and that another operator had been involved in a bribe scandal that led to the conviction of an IRS agent in Seattle two years ago.

(In that instance, the operator helped launch a successful sting operation against an IRS agent he claimed was trying to shake him down. He offered the agent $20,000, and when it was time to consummate the deal, the FBI was on hand.) Wagner said he’s conducted state and federal background checks on about 100 individuals — owners, principals, and representatives — associated with these operations. Excluded from consideration, he said, is anyone convicted in the last 10 years of a violent felony, a serious felony, fraud and embezzlement, or using minors to traffic drugs. Wagner added that the screening process is not quite complete.

Of the six proposals, three are located on State Street from the 900 to 1100 blocks. One is set for the 1000 block of Chapala, another for the former site of the last movie rental store in Santa Barbara, the Video Shop, located at De la Vina and Mission streets.Yet another still is on the 3500 block of State Street.

Wagner said the six proposed dispensaries scored at least 800 out of 1,000 points on a calibrated rating system. He said a total of 14 applications were submitted, but the other eight didn’t make the cut. Based on the results from this Friday’s public hearing, he said it was likely another round of evaluations would ensue; only those scoring 900 or above would proceed. The last criterion, Wagner said, was neighborhood integration. That consideration would be given extra weight.

Complicating the selection process is a requirement that no dispensaries be located within 1,000 feet of each other. With four bunched so tightly downtown, that could prove logistically challenging. On June 7 the same selection committee will hear from six additional cannabis operators seeking various permits for pot oil, from manufacture to home delivery. For those, there is no council-imposed cap as there is for retail storefronts.

Cannabis cultivators have been chomping at their collective bit for retail outlets to be permitted in Santa Barbara County, which leads the state in the number of temporary cannabis licenses. Currently cannabis cultivation exceeds demand by a factor of 800 percent, and the price per pound is falling faster than that of oil per barrel. Lack of sales outlets coupled with an intense regulatory regimen and sky-high taxes have prompted many industry observers to conclude legalization is increasing the size of the state’s marijuana black market, not shrinking it.

County supervisors approved the licensing of no more than eight new retail dispensaries throughout unincorporated Santa Barbara County.

Translated, that’s no more than two per supervisorial district, to be selected on a random basis. But before that process can even start, the California Coastal Commission has to approve the county’s cannabis rules and regulations for any district along the coast. That’s all but one. Translated, that means it will take at least a year before new retail outlets can be applied for in all but the 4th Supervisorial District, which happens to be landlocked. Of all the cities, only Santa Barbara and Lompoc have allowed for new recreational dispensaries. Lompoc has set no limits on number.

Sitting on the review committee for the City of Santa Barbara are representatives from the Community Development Department, the Police Department, the Fire Department, the City Attorney’s office, and the City Administrator’s office. Friday’s hearing begins at 9 a.m. and will take place at n 630 Garden Street in the David Gebhard Room.

Rich Dogs Keep All the Bones

EXCUSES, EXCUSES: As usual, the road to

national ruination runs right through the heart of Santa Barbara County. It’s become almost a law of nature. More specifically, if Democrats fail to flip the House this November and reclaim the majority, it will be the fault of one man from Santa Maria, Abel Maldonado, California’s former Republican lieutenant governor and longtime former assemblymember. Or at least, that’s the spin Democrats are putting on it. In some ways, that’s like blaming motor vehicles for all the car crashes caused by drunk drivers. But in other ways, they’re right.

For many years, Maldonado was that rare breed of cat: a genuinely Moderate Latino Republican. When Sacramento Democrats needed one Republican vote to pass the 2009 state budget, they turned to Maldonado, whom they then dismissed as a big old goofy grin wearing cowboy boots. Maldonado gave them the vote but skinned them alive later — along with the two-party system.

In exchange for his vote, Maldonado got an initiative on the ballot the following year to replace the state’s two-party voting system with a new-and-improved reform-minded model: the top-two vote-getter system. California voters—always looking for quick fixes and things too good to be true—voted for it. Since then, the candidates coming in first and second in California primary elections square off against each other in the subse-

quent Novembers, no matter whether they are from the same or different parties. That was 10 years ago. From the start, Democrats and Republicans have despised the rule; the Dems have never been abel to figure it out.

In a handful of key California congressional races that Democrats absolutely must take from highly vulnerable Republicans if they want the House, there’s been a stampede of Democratic candidates. In Orange

about seven are in California, and of those, as many as four could fall in the “Blame Abel” category.

In this light, I take dim pleasure in the bursting campaign war chest of our incumbent first-term Democratic congressmember, Salud Carbajal. According to the most recent campaign statements, Carbajal has about $1.4 million more than his closest rival, Republican Justin Fareed, who is now making his

Fareed has just been instructed he should smile more.

Based on the results, manifest in the two televised debates, I’d say this was bad advice.

County, Republican mossback Dana Rohrabacher should by all rights be a sitting duck;

he’s a right-wing, pro-Putin stooge who just alienated the entire real estate lobby by insisting that would-be home sellers have an inalienable right to discriminate against would-be home buyers if they happen to be gay. Going up against Rohrabacher is just one other Republican— Scott “Big Shoes” Baugh —and a horde of eight no-name Democrats whose own mothers couldn’t pick them out of a police lineup.

Barring divine intervention, it could be a showdown between Rohrabacher and Baugh in November. Little wonder Democrats are yanking out their hair and blaming Maldonado. Dems need to pick up 23 House seats in November to win the majority. Of those,

third and perhaps final unsuccessful bid for public office. Fareed has just been instructed he should smile more. Based on the results, manifest in the two televised debates, I’d say this was bad advice. When Fareed smiles, the results are scary. And not in a good way.

But because Morro Bay Republican Michael Erin Woody jumped into the race, there’s automatically going to be a runoff.

Right now, Carbajal doesn’t need the money.

He should have given it away to Democrats running in key swing districts crucial to flipping the House. When Carbajal faces off against Fareed in November, he won’t need it then either.

Fareed is still yammering about the “singlesubject rule,” an issue of interest only to those who keep Robert’s Rules of Order on

their bedside tables. To the extent there’s any campaign controversy, it’s why Fareed, who identifies himself in campaign ads as a “third-generation rancher,” has failed to list the family ranch — located in Kern County —or any income derived from it in federally mandated campaign finance disclosure forms. The expression “All hat, no cattle” springs immediately, if unkindly, to mind.

That might be unfair. I’m sure Fareed has put in time at the family ranch — which he “maintains a devotion to overseeing,” according to campaign materials. But according to Fareed’s attorney, Republican Party Hit Man Chuck Bell, the ranch is not a moneymaking operation, and there’s no income to be derived. I can relate to Fareed more than I’d care to admit. I myself “maintain a devotion to overseeing” the writing of the Great American Novel. I just haven’t gotten around to writing it yet.

In the meantime, the ever-congenial Carbajal continues to harass, dun, extort, and stalk campaign donors to make sure they’ve given the very last drop allowed under federal campaign law. He’s relentless. I’ve seen the bruises. I’ve seen the emergency room receipts. I’ve seen the restraining orders.

It’s okay to ask people to give until it hurts.

But make sure the money derived is spent where it helps.

The good news is whatever happens, we can always blame Abel Maldonado.

Barbara Marion Bowie (Tilley) 01/23/25-05/21/18

Mom was born January 23, 1925 in Oahu, Hawaii to William and Dorothy Tilley. She was the second generation born in the islands. Her grandparents arrived from the mainland (San Francisco) before the turn of the century and Barbara's grandfather became the first pharmacist in Hawaii. During her youth in the South Pacific she attended an all-girls Catholic school on one of the smaller islands because her mother died giving birth to what would have been another sibling, so she was sent away for her early education. Barbara had two older brothers Wade and Gordon, who preceded her in death.

On December 7, 1941 Barbara, a junior in high school, along with thousands of civilians and military personnel, took cover during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. She was unable to continue high school and went to work to support the war effort (graduating later with her first-born son in the audience).

During the war Barbara met and married Harry Janot (Sergeant, AF) and she had her first son, Harry. Later divorcing, she met and married Robert W. Bowie in 1949, and in 1951 Barbara Ellen Bowie was born. Moving to the mainland (San Jose) in 1951 Bob and Barbara continued to strengthen their family with hard work & big dreams. In 1953 the family moved to Southern California (Van Nuys) and Bob managed 3 dry cleaning plants until they moved to Santa Barbara in 1954. They bought the Vogue Clean-

ers on Milpas St. in partnership with Bob's father Ray. In 1955 Bryan Edward Bowie was born and the family was complete. Many good years with family and friends throughout Santa Barbara are remembered by all.

Mom was a member of the Women's Club and the Soroptimists and also a member of the Milpas Merchants. Later in life mom spent much of her time attending bible classes and providing decorations for the monthly senior luncheons at the Free Methodist church on the Mesa. She was an avid reader and Christmas was her favorite time of the year.

Her husband Bob preceded her in death in 1995. She is survived by her son, Harry Bowie (Carol), daughter Barbara Glass (Ron), and son Bryan Bowie (Elaine), grandchildren Joyce Brisby, Janice Bowie (Gary Lynd), Regan Livingstone (Chris), Michelle Margolies (Zach), Brandon Bowie, Josh Bowie and great grandchildren Chelsey Gold (Todd), Leah Brisby, Hannah Brisby, Easton Bowie, Ella Bowie, Jack Livingstone, Keaton Livingstone, Morgan Margolies and great great grandchildren Wyatt Gold and Bowie Gold.

Dorothy Jane Metro Marking 1919-2018

Our Mom Dorothy, affectionately known as "Dot," was a true Renaissance woman – beloved mother, talented lifelong musician, teacher, amateur botanist, volunteer docent at Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Lotusland, and enthusiastic birder.

She instilled in her children and others a sense of intellectual curiosity, precision in thought and writing, the value of education, and an appreciation for music, history and the natural world.

Her parents, Stephen and Anna (Flynn) Metro left Buffalo NY and moved to Los Angeles where she was born in 1919. Dorothy had two younger sisters, Ruth Horgan (d.

2016) and Katherine “Chick” McBride (d. 2000). She began studying piano at a young age, graduated from Los Angeles High school in 1937 and from UCLA in 1941. She married Lowell Paul Marking (d. 1970), a metallurgical engineer and Air Force officer, in 1944 and they had five children: Elizabeth Westen of Montecito; Paul Marking of Santa Rosa; Kate Marking of Gulfport FL; Steve Marking (d. 2005), and Tom Marking of Santa Fe NM. Dot took an early interest in the piano, a passion that she joyously shared with others and that nourished and sustained her through many difficult times. We kids have many fond memories of Mom playing her Knabe baby grand in the living room, and inviting other musicians to play together. She participated in many musical ensembles and accompanied many fine musicians in and around Santa Barbara, in addition to being an accomplished pianist in her own right. Dot was church organist, pianist, and accompanist at several parishes in the San Fernando Valley, and accompanied ballet students for many years at Sheila Rozann’s Dance Studio.

She played in the orchestra in a SB City College production of “Show Boat” in 1989.

She moved around the country following her husband’s Air Force assignments, until the family returned

to California in 1958, while raising five children. After obtaining her teaching certificate in 1965, she began teaching elementary school and raised her children alone after her husband’s death in 1970. Dot taught fifth and sixth grade in Thousand Oaks until her retirement in 1981. She moved to Santa Barbara in 1983.

Dot and Norm Stevens met through a local musical group, and they became close friends, fell in love and were devoted partners for 18 years. They often played clarinet and piano together, and lived for many years in peace and contentment, the last several years at Vista del Monte.

Norm passed away in 2015.

Dorothy used a variety of colorful expressions, some from her parents, including “Neat, but not gaudy”, “What can you do with weak coffee?”, “A little alcohol in the radiator”, “This meal is elegant!”, “My stars and garters!”, “Nice weather for ducks”, “Fish and visitors smell in three days”,“Egads!!!”, and “What a gas!”.

A memorial service will be held at Vista del Monte, 3775 Modoc Road, Santa Barbara at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 30. Friends are invited to join family for a celebration and remembrance of Dorothy’s life.

utility user tax for Isla Vista is a horrible idea. This will not fix any problems. It will just raise taxes on Isla Vista residents, making it even more expensive to live in this little town.

Choose Michael Vidal

W

ithout a doubt, Michael Vidal is the most qualified person running for City Council in the special election for District 3. Michael has 20 years of leadership and financial experience, both as volunteer and boardmember of local nonprofits in the community and as a financial planner and a successful businessman. He has done it all and would be an outstanding councilmember for Westside residents and an asset on the council.

Michael has a keen mind; he is a problem solver and a leader. He is also an independent thinker and will not be beholden to special-interest groups, politicians, or political action committees, unlike Oscar Gutierrez, who has received 73 percent ($12,500) of his campaign contributions to date from these groups.

We need Michael. The city needs Michael. To win, Michael needs your vote on June 5. Vote for him.

Reelect Brown

C

alifornia has only 58 sheriffs, and choosing the right person to lead the California State Sheriffs’ Association is a decision they take seriously. For 20172018, they elected Santa Barbara County’s Bill Brown to be their president. The California Police Chiefs Association did the same in 2005 when Bill was Lompoc’s chief of police. He is the only person ever to have served as president of both.

One of Bill’s opponents is endorsed by the deputy sheriffs’ union. The union’s primary interest is

increased pay and benefits, which is not the sheriff’s primary interest. His first priority is to protect public safety while extending his limited budget to the brink.

That is exactly what he has successfully done.

Bill succeeded in getting a much-needed new jail underway. He never let up on this multiyear effort, obtaining $80 million from the state to build the jail, which will be finished early next year. It will be a place of rehabilitation and learning a trade, a place for inmates to get a fresh start and become productive citizens again.

Sheriff Brown leads with his heart, not a heavy hand.

He is truly a special man. Please join me in voting to —Lad Handelman, S.B. reelect him on June 5.

Swayed by Hsueh

W

e have a chance to elect a sheriff endorsed by the county Democrats—Eddie Hsueh. Eddie not only has leadership experience but he has the soul of a progressive. He launched the Crisis Intervention Training program to teach officers how to deescalate confrontation and better deal with people with signs of mental illness. He believes in reasonable gun control.

He believes in equality for immigrants in our county.

In this era of Trump, with his anti-immigration rhetoric and not-so-subtle advocacy of violence, it is vital that our Sheriff’s department be led by someone whose tolerance and concern for well-being reflect the values of our county.

So if you are a Dem, vote for Eddie Hsueh, endorsed by the Democratic Party. And if you identify with another party or are undeclared, give Eddie a look —you’ll like what you see. —Sharyne Merritt, S.B.

Walter Elwood Zeni 10/09/31-05/18/18

Walter Elwood Zeni, age 86, went to meet his Lord and Savior on May 18th, 2018, at Serenity House, Santa Barbara, California.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Elgie Larsen Zeni; his son, Alan Zeni, and daughter-inlaw Kari Zeni, of Santa Barbara and his daughter, Kayla Bozoti of Kent, WA. He also had five grandchildren; Blaire Duffy.(Ethan) of Sacramento; Mattison and Alexa Bozoti of Kent, WA; and Alena and Harrison Zeni of Santa Barbara and one great-grandson, Declan Duffy.

Walter was born October 9th, 1931 in Scranton, PA, to parents Charles and Marianne Luther Zeni.

He graduated from Scranton Central High School with high honors in 1949 and a full scholarship to the University of Scranton, which he declined in order to begin working to assist in supporting his family. In 1953, he hitchhiked to Los Angeles with his best friend (an adventure of 100 hours with $100).

He began a position with Security First National Bank, solidifying his choice of career. His 45 year banking career grew from his initial role as a bank messenger in Scranton and ended when he retired from City Commerce Bank in Santa Barbara as a Senior Vice President.

Walter was a man of strong faith; a great family man and very loving father. An active man, involved in many volunteer positions for the majority of his life, where he contributed his management skills. He particularly enjoyed traveling and “making memories” for his family. His avocation and great love was also in his acting and commercial work, and he was thrilled when he received his SAG/ AFTRA membership.

His family, friends and associates will always remember him as an unfailingly honest, quietly generous man.

His family would like to thank all those who have prayed for him over the past challenging years A private graveside service was held at Goleta Cemetery on Thursday, May 24th. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at Community Covenant Church, on Saturday June 9th, at 2pm with a reception to follow at the church.

All are welcome to attend and celebrate Walter’s life.

DID YOU KNOW...

Because mosquitoes are known carriers of several diseases and a major health issue in summertime, people across the United States need to take precaution to help prevent mosquito bites. Experts at the CDC report no vaccine for Zika virus, Chikungunya virus or West Nile virus. Your best protection therefore is preventing mosquito bites, such as eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed and calling your pest control service to protect your family from these deadly disease carriers.

COVER STORY

Lucy and Herman Alvarado getting breakfast at Harding School

Hungry in Paradise F or all of our supposed wealth and tourist-serving glamour, Santa Barbara County is home to a staggering number of people living in poverty. At last count, more than 62,000 people — 14 percent of the population—were living below or near the federal poverty line, which for a family of four is defined as making less than $25,100 year.

One of the most concrete ways to grasp this reality is through studying our food networks, as finding the next meal is really where the rubber meets the road for those struggling to survive. In this week’s issue, we take a look at the various ways our community is tackling the issue, from the nonprofit sector to schools to federal food-stamp programs.

How Santa Barbara Helps More than 60,000 Residents Struggling for Their Next Meal

Reporter Blanca Garcia interviewed Santa Barbara Unified School District officials about their free breakfast and lunch programs, as well as the summer food-truck program, which kicks off next month. Executive Editor Nick Welsh spoke with county Foodbank director Eric Talkin, who spends much of his time educating people on how to eat better.

We also present a chart showing the rising number of people who rely on food stamps distributed through the state’s CalFresh program. This critical service is now under attack by Republicans in Congress, and Santa Barbara County stands to lose large n amounts of funding.

Lunch Before Learning generally classified as homeless, and in our ever-tightening rental market, this phenomenon is not uncommon.

Gina Cuevas, who coordinates the Federal Food Service Program in the SBUSD, believes that the number of homeless children is even higher than the 30 percent increase noted since 2017. That increase is only based on the application families must submit to qualify for free or reduced-cost meals.

Many families, she said, register with an online form that has some confusing language, and of course, increasingly some families are afraid to even return the application at all since it asks for the primary wage earner’s Social Security number. Even though that number is not required, and a student’s citizenNancy Weiss, director of SBUSD Food Services, ship status is not ever asked, the fear of provides an average of deportation is so great that the ques1,200 dinners a night to tion is enough to dissuade them from kids in need. returning the form. Nancy Weiss, director of SBUSD Food Services, estimates an additional thousand kids within the district qualify for the program but have not submitted an application.

Our county has also seen a 32 percent increase over the last five years in families enrolling for food stamps, officially known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) federally and as CalFresh in California. CalFresh serves an average of 19,000 families a month county-wide. To qualify, a family of four must make less than $49,200 annually, and only U.S. citizens or legal residents within the family can receive the benefits. All working-age adults must prove that they are employed a minimum of 30 hours a week. Families that fail to comply have benefits cut off, including those for children.

Skyrocketing rents are the cause of poverty in Santa Barfamilies are forced to live in extremely overcrowded and often bara County, not unemployment. Most children have at least unreliable housing.

alifornia has the fifth-largest economy in the world, with the highest rate of child poverty in the United States.

The largest percentage of hungry California children lives right here in Santa Barbara County — more than 28,000 children are at risk of not having enough to eat. This number has been rising steadily for almost a decade, and organizations from federal food services to public school cafeterias are trying to help.

McKinley Elementary School, for example, has a Schools Get Creative vibrant and vital program. to Address Highest Every midday, the cafetebustles as kids line up Childhood Poverty ria to receive their school Rate in California lunch. More than 90 percent of these children are from families living on or

by Blanca Garcia below the poverty line, and this cafeteria often provides the only free and wholesome meals they might receive all day. The kids are excited with their choices today — an incredible array of options including pozole, chicken and veggie enchiladas, and a colorful, inviting salad bar. It even has veggies covered with Tajín, a popular Mexican seasoning made of ground chili pepper, salt, and dehydrated lime.

McKinley Elementary is part of the Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD), which has one of the largest ongoing projects combating child hunger in the county. Within the district, approximately 7,400 of its 14,500 students qualify for the National School Lunch Program, which provides children of low-income families with meals at school each day. To have qualified for reduced-cost meals for the 2017-18 school year, the federal government required that a family of four make no more than $45,510 a year; for free meals, the income ceiling was $31,980. However, in Santa Barbara, as in other wealthy sections of the country, housing costs are so high that poor

This situation for many families in our county comes as no surprise to Michael Baker, chief executive officer of the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County. “I was one of those kids,” said Baker, whose own Folgers 8 oz.

Cash also connected Baker with Weiss. She offered to organize a supper program on the Westside, where 98 percent of students live on or below the poverty line. Through federal government funding, Weiss was able to send a food truck to the club Monday-Friday, providing free supper to every person age 18 or younger. Adults could pay $4 and join the kids. Baker estimates they serve 150-200 dinners a day. Toward the end of the month, he said, he sees parents splitting one meal in two.

Since the first supper program in 2015, Weiss has expanded to 13 other locations, providing an average of 1,200 meals nightly from Santa Barbara to Isla Vista. All year long, the SBUSD continues its free food services; in the summers, they have been serving more than 3,000 kids. In June, the mobile cafés will expand into Carpinteria and Buellton, two very-high-need areas. Carpinteria currently has 64 percent of its students qualifying for free and reduced lunches.

Children living in poverty have a higher likelihood of being malnourished and in poor health. Weiss’s mobile cafés and food services directly combat those statistics. Weiss’s insistence on using fresh, local, nutritionally rich food provides students with a balanced diet and the necessary nutrition for a strong immune system, making them less likely to need medical care. Weiss jokes,“If students eat with me from K-12, it’s like they’re being put through a natural immunization program.”

The food being served to our students is very unique to Santa Barbara, she said. Weiss partners with local farmers and small businesses to provide fresh, seasonal fruits and veggies. All the food is made from scratch, including sandwich rolls, granola, and salad dressings, avoiding high-fructose ingredients, hormones, hydrogenated oils, and other additives. And, in partnership with Hungry Planet, they even provide vegan options.

Weiss makes it a point to include culturally familiar foods such as pozole, quesadillas de rajas, tacos de adobada, and tostadas; “It gets them excited,” she said. Students are also exposed to vegetables they’ve never tried before and experience healthy, fresh food.

Weiss has a motto she tells the kids: “Eat to live, live to learn, and learn to eat.” Weiss and her service to the community are making that possible. n

Erik Talkin, Foodbank CEO, alleviates hunger with healthy, nutritious food.

Turning Hunger into health

E

rik Talkin celebrated the 10 years he’s spent running the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County by publishing a book titled Hunger into Health. About the same time, the federal government issued brandnew statistics showing Santa Barbara County has the highest rate of child poverty in California, a grim punctuation mark underscoring the urgency of the Foodbank’s mission.

signature hat always perched on top of his head. In person, he’s focused and to the point, almost bristly. He’s got things to do. He took a few minutes out of his schedule to discuss the changes he’s seen — and the changes he’s making — with Santa Barbara Independent

writer Nick Welsh. The following is an edited version of their talk.

In 10 years, how has the hunger picture in Santa Barbara changed? I think total numbers have

zigzagged over that time. In 2008 there was just a huge spike.

It began to tail off in 2010. But I think we’re seeing more and more now, just a systemic level of poverty and hunger that is very, very hard to break out of. Some statistics have just come out about child poverty rates; we’re looking at a 28 percent child poverty rate in Santa Barbara County.

How does that compare across the state? I

think we are the worst at the moment. We’re right up there. We’re past L.A. And then about 7 percent of those are people who are considered to be living in deep poverty.

What’s deep poverty as opposed to poverty?

Poverty is defined as $30,000, I believe, for a family with two kids in Santa Barbara County. Deep poverty is half that. If we have 400,000 people in the county, then we’re looking at about 150,000, 160,000 who are living on very little money.

And how about the number of people you see?

How has that changed in 10 years? Over the

last six or seven years, it’s remained relatively static, but that’s about one in four people that we’re serving on a regular basis. So that’s a significant number.

How has the food that you get changed? We

made a large transition from what was just classic food-bank food; that was dried goods or canned goods and generally very unhealthy food. For an organization that was trying to end hunger, we discovered it was ironic that the food we were providing actually created hunger in the short term.

How so? Anything that’s high in added sugars, or junk food, it creates an insulin spike where

Others were more borderline, and Hein wanted to keep the hall as true to its roots as he could. “The bear cub was in pretty bad shape, and we could have gotten a new one,” he said of the highly involved process to track down another specimen. “But this is our bear cub.”

Over in Bird Hall, the newly laid snow of the condor exhibit glistens next to an interactive sandhill crane diorama set in the Carrizo Plain, where visitors try and mimic the birds’ courtship dance to hilarious and educational results. Simple touchscreen monitors offer more information on the exhibits without going too high-tech.

That minimalism is by design, said Hein. “We wanted to be authentic to this place,” he said, “A bunch of bells and whistles would screw that up.”

Whether California’s wildlife diversity ‘ increases or decreases over time will be decided by us, the Human Mammal, and the choices we make.’

Hein explained the museum opted to design all the improvements itself rather than farm out the work to a big-city firm. “We wanted to make sure it still felt like Santa Barbara’s museum.” Visitors are invited to dive deeper in conversations with staff naturalists or via the museum’s new website.

Really, the exhibits are just a base camp for further exploration, said Swetland, standing in front of a panoramic diorama that shows off the possums, skunks, and bobcats of our own backyards. “The museum is not meant to be a final destination,” he explained. “It’s meant to give you the tools and get you excited to learn more about the nature that’s all around you.”

I

Secrets of a Very Catholic Daughter

thought my dad saddled me with some psychological baggage.

He used to leap around naked in front of thousands of people weekly while touring the nation in Hair, a rock musical about sex, drugs, and draft dodging. On my first day of 9th grade at a snooty prep school, my 70-year-old history teacher proclaimed to the class that my father had sat naked on her lap during a matinee in Baltimore. I never quite recovered.

But then I met Tina Alexis Allen and discovered I had it easy.

Really easy.

Tina was the youngest of 13 kids in an extremely Catholic family.

Her father was knighted by the pope and led religious tours to the Holy Land. “If you didn’t know better, you’d probably say he was the holiest man you ever met,” she told me last week. But at home, he drank and raged; his children feared him.

Tina was terrified he’d discover her secret: She was gay. But when she was 18, he flabbergasted her by revealing not only that he knew her secret—but that he himself had a history of sexual relationships with men, including clergy members.

“On the one hand, it’s shocking, and it’s my father,” says Tina, an actress who tells the story in her new memoir, Hiding Out: A Memoir of Drugs, Deception, and Double Lives. “But there’s also an excitement that someone knows— and for the first time I’m not feeling completely different and alone, lying to my family. I’m sure on some level he probably felt the same way.” email: starshine@roshell.com Even more shocking? She and her dad began secretly clubbing together—dancing, drugging, and having sex with strangers at underground gay nightclubs in Washington, D.C., and Europe. She was thrilled to share a secret identity with the father she had never been close with … but she was also plagued with guilt about their continued deception of the family—especially her mother.

“It wasn’t a perfect father-daughter relationship!” she freely admits, “but there was some beauty in sharing something vital that we didn’t get to share anywhere else.”

However, while working for her dad’s travel business, she discovered more secrets that made her question him on a deeper level: He had multiple passports. A briefcase full of cash turned up at one point.

And he was traveling half a million miles a year. Tina could never get him to come clean about what was going on but believes he was doing secret work for his high-level connections at the Vatican.

Years of pretending to be someone she wasn’t paid off for Tina. After working as a New York City fashion executive, she felt called to the stage and began an acting career at age 29. She wrote and performed a solo show called Secrets of a Holy Father, in which she portrayed her dad and his double life. “It was a compassionate exploration of how he compartmentalized who he truly was,” she says.

Though the whole family eventually learned the truth, and Tina’s parents are both deceased — and though she has changed all names in her memoir (Allen is her stage name) — some of her siblings disapprove of the book.

“There are people in my family that would prefer things remain a secret,” she says. “But it’s not a revenge book. It’s not out of anger; I’ve been way past that for a long time. The legacy I want to leave in my family, even if half don’t want to talk to me, is to be a truth teller. Family, to me, works best when you really let each other be who you are.”

So I suppose this is overdue, then: Dad, if you and your altogether needed to conduct a groovy solo love-in on old Mrs. McConnell’s lap, then who am I to begrudge you?

But I swear to god, if I find out you sat naked on the pope, we’re done.

THE COMEBACK KIDS Three High School Teams Make Miraculous, Late-Inning Wins • The Dos Pueblos Chargers, up against nationally ranked Huntington Beach in a CIF Southern Section Division 1 baseball playoff, were losing 5-0 in the bottom of the seventh inning. It’s over, right? Wrong. After a game-tying grand-slam home run by Evan Kling, the Chargers won 6-5 in the eighth on Charlie Cuykendall’s RBI single.

• The Bishop Diego Cardinals were stung by a three-run homer in the top of the seventh that put Savanna ahead 4-3 in the Division 6 playoffs. But this one was not over until Bishop came back in the bottom of the seventh and won on Jake Koeper’s single, 5-4.

• In the Division 4 softball playoffs, the San Marcos Royals trailed Chaffey 7-3 with two out in the bottom of the seventh. Game over? Nope. The Royals rallied to send the game into extra innings, and Megan Cunnison’s bases-loaded single in the eighth ended it, 8-7.

ZANT

San Marcos continued its quest for a championship Thursday, defeating San Dimas 5-2 in a quarterfinal game.

The Royals, who were runners-up in last year’s softball championship, were set to face Royal High in the semifinals Tuesday.

Dos Pueblos and Bishop Diego had to hit the road for the baseball quarterfinals Friday, and both saw their seasons

come to an end. The Chargers suffered a wrenching 3-2 defeat to Capistrano Valley, which tied the score 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh and got a walk-off home run with two outs in the eighth. Pomona left no doubt in a 10-1 victory over the Cardinals.

NO SWEAT: San Marcos carried a 5-0 lead over San

Dimas into the last inning of the softball game, but the Royals’ fans began to squirm when a double, a walk, and a single by the visitors made it 5-1. Could there be a swing in comeback fortunes? Coach Jeff Swann strolled to the mound to talk things over.

“We had to get three outs,” Swann said.“Just keep it simple. One play at a time.”

Senior pitcher Aliyah “A.J.” Huerta Leipner blithely proceeded to induce three infield groundouts — one of which produced a harmless run — to extinguish the rally.

“A.J. has a great level of maturity,” Swann said.“She keeps it light and loose.”

The southpaw had reason to pitch with confidence, knowing that the defense had her back. Outfielders Claire Early, Maddy Leung, and Kyla Robbins tracked down several hard-hit balls.

CARDINAL WINNER: Nick Katzenstein saw his Bishop Diego Cardinals win two playoff games in the bottom of the seventh.

SUPER YEAR: George Hedricks coached a Dos Pueblos team that went 25-4 and reached the quarterfinals of CIF Division 1.

against Huntington Beach. “I tell them you play for seven innings; you play to the last out,” he said. “You can’t back off up by five; you can’t give up down by five. We’ve all seen it [an improbable rally]. We’ve all read about it. Now we’re part of it.”

Although the Chargers were shut out for six innings by a premier pitching staff, Hedricks said, “I see our hitting in practice every day. Our offensive numbers are ridiculous.” Kling, one of their hottest hitters, came up at the right time with the sacks full in the seventh. “Evan is strong, with quick hands,” Hedricks said. “He got a good pitch to elevate.”

Dos Pueblos was elevated to Division 1 after proving itself in Division 2 — an appearance in the semifinals two years ago — but the Chargers never got a mention in this year’s CIF’s top-10 poll despite going 23-3 in the regular season. “We’re too far north to get any respect,” Hedricks said.

“People underestimate us.” At the same time, he respects the challenge of competing in the top division. “It’s mind-blowing,” he said. “Everybody’s going to be good. But we’re not afraid of it. We’re going to embrace it.”

Hedricks is a sheriff’s deputy who has been the Dos Pueblos resource officer for six years. He coached the DP pitchers before taking over as head coach three years ago. Senior starters Isaac Coffey and Dylan Kelley, along with junior relief specialist Nico Martinez, have given the Chargers a strong rotation.

Nick Katzenstein, Hedricks’s predecessor and a former Dos Pueblos player, is now coaching at Bishop Diego. He was nurtured as a player by the late Chargers coach Scott O’Leary, whose name adorns the DP ballpark. “He was a special guy who taught you to always do the right thing when no one was looking,” Katzenstein said. “I SWEEPING DELIVERY: Aliyah Huerta Leipner, a scholar athlete who has been wish I had the opportunity to know him as an recruited by Boston University, pitches the San Marcos Royals into the CIF adult.” semifinals.

There will no cars for him to worry about this Sunday, June 3, when he runs in the State Street Mile. “I read about it on Facebook and thought, ‘Yeah, that sounds like fun,’ ” he said. An SBCC student at the time of his accident, he suffered several broken bones and a brain injury. Santa Barbara police tracked down the driver, who was convicted and sentenced to six years in prison. Daly, 24, now attends Cal State Northridge. He said he’s “like 70 percent” recovered from his injuries, but the mile does not intimidate him: “After all, I lasted four hours on Cabrillo.”

Preschoolers Present Mindful Tea Party

Despite contributing her self-developed tea recipe to the charitable cookbook Cooking Up Trouble, 8-year-old Lulu Robana often falls back on the simple combination of fresh mint tea with ice and honey. “Sometimes we have tea and dessert before bed,” says Robana of one of her favorite rituals. “It’s really relaxing.”

However, when she goes big and invites her pals over, she likes to serve her sophisticated, caffeine-free chai pick-me-up. “Take your time,” she advises party imbibers.

“Don’t chug the tea down.”

Luckily, this fan of competitive swimming, reading, and tea is sharing her recipe with us.

ad & Vin, which translates to “food and wine” in Danish, pays proper respects to the Scandinavian style of Solvang, where it steadily serves both daytrippers and overnight tourists as The Landsby hotel’s restaurant and bar. But with an innovative menu of seasonally inspired farm-to-table fare developed by Chef Beto Huizar, who puts his own worldly spin on each dish, Mad & Vin is now a go-to destination for locally residing food lovers as well.

“I like to play with classic French and give it my twist,” said Huizar. His attention to detail fits well with the restaurant’s sophisticated midcentury-modern aesthetic, Chef Beto Huizar which is enhanced with Ups the Game at celebratory touches, like The Landsby Hotel’s the beautiful “Smile There’s Restaurant & Bar Wine” omen painted over the bar and perky yellow flowers on each table.

BY REBECCA HORRIGAN From the first bite of complimentary pita bread served with handmade romesco dip and starring stellar ingredients such as roasted peppers and marcona almonds — it’s like a cool older sister to hummus—it’s apparent you’re in for something special.

“We try to do as much local as we can,” Huizar explained. “Every Wednesday we go down to the farmers’ market here in town.” The restaurant also relies on Harvest Santa Barbara, which sources regionally grown ingredients and delivers them in bulk to the restaurant.

The farmer salad was revelatory on its own, while standout entrées included their lamb porterhouse with mint-pesto yogurt. The fresh carbonara-like pasta stole the show, a thick, handmade buca1576 Mission Dr., tini with applewood Solvang; 688-3121; bacon, egg yolk, cream, thelandsby.com smoked cheese, and herbs. Its richness was counterbalanced by an easy-drinking, bright cabernet franc by Brave & Maiden. The seasonal fruit cobbler with McConnell’s vanilla bean ice cream rounded out the unpretentious and entirely satisfying meal, leaving us wishing that we’d booked a room to really make ourselves at home.

But food and wine are just part of the Mad & Vin equation, as their zippy cocktails, like Rose Margarita with a grapefruit sugar rim, invigorate the palate as well. The easiest way to enjoy them is during the restaurant’s happy hour, which happens seven days a week.

This summer, Mad & Vin is also featuring a Locals Night on Tuesdays, with 20 percent off food in the dining room, as well as a $25 three-course menu for Solvang’s 3rd Wednesday event, with complimentary corkage so that guests are encouraged to purchase wine at the nearby tasting rooms. n

VOTED SANTA BURRITO 26 YEARS

breakfast, brunch, and hangover cures to students and locals alike for years, but it’s really spreading its wings at its newest restaurant.

Located on Calle Real in Goleta, the location feels like an old vintage diner, with interior booths and a quaint outdoor patio, and Cajun’s creole-meets-Americana menu is as good as ever, more than 30 years since opening its first location.

Catching the eye of this self-professed breakfast aficionado was the Fried Chicken Benedict ($12.75). A delicious piece of buttermilk fried chicken sits atop a traditional biscuit, smothered in tasty homestyle gravy and topped by a couple of thick slices of bacon as two perfectly poached eggs nestle on high. Served with your choice of home fries, hash browns, or grits, it is a monster of a breakfast.

But thinking this dish is simply a piece of fried chicken and a couple of eggs would be a grave mistake. The fried chicken served piping hot is the star of the show, but with all the other accompaniments and washed down with a fresh coffee or juice, this brunch option is a no-brainer.

Be warned: This dish is not for the faint of heart, though my heart may have skipped a beat as I —Gareth Kelly finished every morsel.

SPIRITUAL ENGAGEMENT LOTUSLAND PRESENTS PHOTOGRAPHER MANJARI SHARMA’S DARSHAN

project, which is represented by the Sanskrit word darshan,, meaning “glimpse” or “apparition.” In India, Hindu shrines containing sculptural renderings of the gods provide believers with powerful yet intermittent experiences of metaphysical connection through the sense of sight.

It was Sharma’s intent with this series to use the camera, which she refers to as her “one medium of worship,” to “study, construct, and deconstruct the mythologies” of her native land. In the process, she invites her audience to consider whether a photograph can be a means of spiritual engagement.

Darshan can be seen as part of the regular garden tours at Lotusland. Those interested to learn more about the spiritual and cultural aspects of this exhibit are invited to attend a panel discussion titled Intersections: Creativity & Spirituality that will take place in the gallery on Tuesday, June 5, at 4:30 p.m., featuring the artist, scholar Bridget Bray from the Asia Society in Houston, and author Pico Iyer. The exhibition was organized by Crista Dix, curator of wall space gallery and a longstanding champion of great photographicrelated art in our community, Seattle, and beyond. And, as if all of this were not enough, Manjari Sharma, her husband, and her two children are new arrivals to Santa Barbara, so this spectacular exhibit extends a warm welcome to them.

SUMMER SOLSTICE WORKSHOP OPENS Earth is nearing its maximum tilt toward the sun in the Northern Hemisphere, signaling the run-up to the summer solstice. Here in Santa Barbara, we like to celebrate this change of season with three days of festivities that include a spectacular parade. But before the jubilee begins, all manner of floats and costumes must be created. This year’s theme is Heroes, and folks who want to participate in the procession, which takes place Saturday, June 23, can pop round to the Summer Solstice Workshop (631 Garden St.) and unleash their visions. “We have a team of Solstice artists in residence, float builders, mask and costume makers to help you bring your ideas to life for the 44th annual parade. Join in on an existing ensemble or come with an idea and a team to build your own,” said Solstice Executive Director Robin Elander. The workshop is currently open Wednesday-Friday, 3-8 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, noon-6 p.m. The Summer Solstice Festival, which includes art, music, food, and activities, runs Friday-Sunday, June 22-24, at Alameda Park. See solsticeparade .com.

n the past five years, Montecito’s Lotusland has established a reputation as not only one of the world’s greatest gardens but also an institution with a serious commitment to exhibiting contemporary art. First in 2013 with a group show about bees called Swarm and then in 2015 with Flock, an exhibition about birds, Lotusland showed that it could compete with museums in terms of the quality of the work on display and the thoughtfulness of the curatorial approach. That’s one reason that there’s excitement around Darshan, the upcoming solo show there featuring the work of photographer Manjari Sharma that will run June 1-July 21.

The other reason that Darshan is one of the season’s most anticipated shows is Sharma. An outstanding, internationally recognized artist who was born and raised in Mumbai, Sharma was recently featured “Maa Laxmi” by Manjari Sharma in a much-praised 2017 group show, Talking Pictures: CameraPhone Conversations Between Artists at large (4x5), vividly colorful images of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

MUD AND FIRE COMMUNITY PROJECT The Thomas Fire and the devastating mudslides affected nearly everyone in our community. Even with the massive cleaning and recovery efforts, returning to day-to-day life can feel impossible for some. Inspired by the rehabilitation programs Japan offered following the 2011 Fukushima disaster, Carpinteria native hatched the Mud and Fire Community Project, a free art therapy program taking place June 23. “Art can fill that void of sorrow and help to spur on healing,” explained Foley.

The event, which came together with help from the Carpinteria Woman’s Club and the American Art Therapy Association, consists of a six-hour workshop led by teams of fine artists and trained post-trauma art therapists that will “give families a chance to reflect and talk to a trained art therapist,” said Foley. The group will also create a collective art piece that will be displayed in the Carpinteria community at a yet-to-be-determined space.

Foley said that she wants the project “to plant a seed of creativity for our participants so they can start taking the challenges of their fire and mud experiences and alchemize them into art to gain a better understanding into the overwhelming event they just endured.”

The workshop is free and still accepting sign-ups, although participants must be older than 5 years of age and children must be accompanied by their parents.

Participants will get to take home their creations, and Foley hopes that everyone will “produce some art that is transformative, healing, beautiful, hopeful, raw, and deeply creative.”

The Mud and Fire Community Project takes place Saturday, June 23, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. (workshop); 4-5:30 p.m. (reception), at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club (1059 Vallecito Rd., Carpinteria). For more information, see maureenfoley.com/events or email redhencannery@gmail.com.

T

he student exhibition can be a pivotal moment in the life of an artist. Being in it teaches pupils that being an artist requires more than just creating work. From framing and mounting to writing text descriptions and artist statements, the process of putting on a show is paramount to art’s reception. And while some student shows are simply a learning process for the amateur aficionado, others, particularly at the graduate level, can be the moment when an artist’s career is launched.

At UCSB’s Art, Design & Architecture Museum, seven graduating MFA students are presenting The Chess Club through June 3. Curated

by Bruce W. Ferguson, president of Otis College of Art & Design, the exhibition considers the “move” in art, acknowledging the students’ transition to professional artists and the strategies that must inevitably take place to make their work seen.

Standouts of the cohort’s work “Marriage” by Jennifer Lugris include Carlos Ochoa’s virtual realities that immerse you in a sensorial landscape of color, sound, and abstract geometries. Visitors are invited to put on headsets and navigate their way through the bright-pink landscapes with oculus controllers — experiencing three-dimensional forms and ambient sounds in a manner that feels exploratory and futuristic but still rooted in recognizable shapes. The work is fresh and exciting, making you wonder what ideas Ochoa still has up his sleeve.

Toni Scott’s installations are impactful. Her dramatic, large-scale sculpture “The Empire Strikes Black,” made of painted palm fronds, rope, and wood, feels like a deserted island of memories and struggle. Painted entirely black, the sculpture has a depth of texture that invites you to consider the relationship between geography and history, the palm fronds appearing as sharp machetes rather than an organic material symbolizing tropical leisure. Casting large shadows on the white wall behind, the piece also conjures ideas about protection and foreshadowing, creating another powerful dimension in shades of gray.

Jennifer Lugris’s paintings are playful deconstructions of ordinary domesticity. Bright and colorful, the works

depict tidbits of a scene among various-sized canvases, your eyes reconstructing the full visual as you slowly scan the wall. One canvas shows a pair of boots, another a kitchen table; a lamp and a window pane are revealed, as well as a human form. Considering the relationship between the ordinary and extraordinary, Lugris shows the everyday world as vibrant and alive, while challenging us to consider how reality is visually constructed.

The other graduating artists are equally compelling. Daria Noor Izad creates minimalist drawings on canvas, ceramic sculpture, and assemblage works inspired by her nonverbal understanding with horses. Social-practice artist Robert Huerta works in prints, installation, and new media to take on urgent issues including the U.S./Mexico border, immigration, and masculinity. Lucy Holtsnider’s practice addresses the impact of climate change in collages made from beautiful handmade paper, while Jimmy Miracle paints colorful landscapes in various scales. Perhaps the most traditional of the cohort, Miracle also painted portraits of his fellow classmates and professors, the canvases hung at the entrance of the exhibition reminding us of the relationships that are forged during two intense years of study and art-making.

The Chess Club is exemplary of what an MFA show is all about — a diverse group of artists working across a range of media, but with the shared intent to create works of art that allow us to look at the world through new perspectives and, hopefully, to reveal something about contemporary life. n

ART MFAS PRESENT THEIR GRADUATE WORKS IN THE CHESS CLUB

by Rachel Heidenry

SBCC AND WESTMONT STUDENT EXHIBITIONS In April through early May, student exhibitions also took center stage at SBCC and Westmont, with significant pieces highlighting Santa Barbara’s emerging artistic talent.

“Droplets” by Carlos Ochoa

SBCC

The Annual Student Exhibition took place April 13-May 11 at Santa Barbara City College’s Atkinson Gallery. The show was juried by writer and independent arts curator Yasmine Zodeh and featured 49 artworks by 27 student artists. Ceramics, drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture were all showcased — representing a range of the art department’s offerings. A standout work of the show was created by artist Alberto Lule, who also received the Frederick and Ursula Perl Endowed Art Scholarship. In an intimate drawing done in graphite on paper, Lule depicts himself crouched down in front of prison stacks.

While direct and confrontational, the drawing is also poetic and full of sensitivity. It feels like the first chapter of an open book — one that you’ll want to keep turning the pages to.

Westmont

At Westmont College, 14 graduating seniors presented in Degrees of Separation: Westmont Graduate Exhibition from April 5 through May 5. Working in media ranging from yarn bombing to stop-motion animation, the students tackled themes including mental health, environmentalism, gender stereotypes, and faith. Some took inspiration from narratives and personal relationships, selecting portraiture as their medium of choice. The most successful works were ones that took a concept and worked through it in multiples, offering manifold perspectives of the same theme.

CLEAN SPILL, CLEAN SLATE

by Richie DeMaria I PUT A SPILL ON YOU: Clean Spill (pictured) is adding a little more turf to its surf.With its newest single,“Doctor,” produced by Hanni El Khatib, the local treasures continue to shine, but this time, it’s with a rougher, tougher kind of luster.“He helped us find the grit,” guitarist Cameron Crabtree said of the band’s new recording, out June 6.“Before him, we were overproduced, more radio friendly; but that’s not what we sound like live,” bassist Geoff Shea said.

“He made us sound like we sound like live.”

Rock fans, you’re in luck: You’ll get to catch Clean Spill for real on Thursday, June 7, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) starting at 9:30 p.m. Long Beach’s psych-pop dream-weaver Rudy De Anda opens, and there will be deejay sets by S.B.’s Peitzke and Jack Roy. Clean Spill’s oceanic octaves resonate good vibrations, and their personalities are like glassy waves: chill, peaceful, inviting.

The band’s newest release hints at “a darker kind of sound,” Crabtree said.

“We tried to go spooky.” The four-piece has a string of singles out in June, culminating in a new summer EP, Nothing’s on My Mind, flush with new gear at play. “Hanni has an endless amount of vintage equipment — it’s rare that we used a guitar from this millennium,” said drummer Charlie Fawcett.

When I met with the band, they were just returning from Surf Ranch in Lemoore, where they played at Kelly Slater’s inaugural Founders’ Cup wave-pool competition. Rincon surfers since the elementary school days, they’re now exploring and expanding what it means to be surf rockers for the community at large. The band is just hopping off an exciting pair of years that included opening slots for El Khatib, The Drums, The Buttertones, and Phantogram, plus European shows. “We’ve learned so much in the last two years, and now we’re able to come back, go a completely different route, and innovate from there,” Crabtree said. The band aims to make “the most Clean Spill music out there, and we’re still searching for what that is.”

“We’re all starting to sing now,” reports singer Pat Curren. Expect harmonies aplenty in songs ahead, plus some Stratocaster dissonance. On the side, Curren is also getting into running (he’s a fan of Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run), Crabtree is drawn to yerba mate gourds, and they’re all developing a passion for environmental science. Future visions for the band include a solar-powered van with pop-up performance equipment and secret side escapes to Big Sur. Catch them in the midst of their rising fame at SOhO — you’re in for a great show.

STATE FLOWER POWER: But that’s next week, and great shows are just around the bend. Also at SOhO, S.B.’s State Flower celebrates the release of its new EP on Friday, June 1, with an opening set from the soulful Lois Mahalia. Something of a Santa Barbara supergroup, State Flower features the contributions of Austin Beede, Todd Capps, Dean Dinning, Zach Madden, Michael Madden, and Mahalia. The late, great Erik Herzog laid the foundation for State Flower material before passing away last year. The show, which comes with a free download of the band’s new EP, is at 8 p.m.

SLANTED AND ENCHANTED: That same Friday, June 1, S.B.’s Slanted Land brings the psychedelic blues to Carpinteria and Linden Pub (4954 Carpinteria Ave., Carpinteria) at 9 p.m. for the city’s First Friday event. Led by singer Tova Morrison, Slanted Land stands for all things groovy and good feeling.

SUMMERTEETH: Easter Teeth will play what may be one of its last shows for a while, maybe forever, this Saturday, June 2, reports bassist/keyboardist Tim Eymann. The brotherly hardcore-rock duo will play an all-ages show at the Hard to Find (7190 Hollister Ave., Goleta) with Long Beach’s Struckout, plus S.B.’s The Internet and Oxnard’s Late Bloomers, who just released a split EP n together. The show begins at 8 p.m.

Action Point (84 mins., R) Johnny Knoxville stars in this Jackassstyle action/comedy as D.C., the mentally unsound owner of a rundown, unsafe, notoriously debauched amusement park. When a corporate-run mega-park opens nearby, D.C. and his motley crew go to extreme lengths to keep their business afloat.

Vitali. Zierra’s film is generously loaded with precious behind-the-scenes footage from The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and other archival material, which may appeal more to committed Kubrick fans than a general audience, but ultimately, Filmworker applies an aptly neurotic and loving attention to detail. Kubrick Riviera would approve. (JW)

Camino Real/Metro 4

Adrift (120 mins., PG-13) Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin star in this story of survival based on the true, harrowing tale of Tami Oldham and Richard Sharp’s 1983 ocean crossing. During their voyage, they sail into a hurricane that leaves them broken and stranded in the Pacific Ocean.

(94 mins., NR)

Tony Zierra’s documentary Filmworker offers an intriguing and oblique angle on the story and mythos of cine-master Stanley Kubrick through the lens of his assistant and creative ally on the side Leon Vitali. Though appearing (impressively) as an actor in Kubrick’s 1975 film Barry Lyndon, Vitali moved behind the camera and wound up spending 30 years working directly alongside Kubrick. After three decades, Vitali realized that his exhaustive hours and multiple roles (including a small part as a masked man in Eyes Wide Shut) amounted to a generic, self-identified job description as “filmworker.” Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket) observed that Vitali was “like an Igor character—‘Yes, master.’” “It was a real roller coaster ride, every day,” Vitali explains. “I could never handle Stanley. I handled myself so I could exist in Stanley’s world …. Everything you ever did was a full-time job.” Kubrick, he recalls, could be gentle and affable but often “went apeshit” over details, and “his temper was so vitriolic, and he was so sarcastic.” But Kubrick’s genius prevailed and left a remarkable body of work, partly thanks to the dedication of

Ocean’s 8 (110 mins., PG-13) The ladies are doing it for themselves in this offshoot of Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy. Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett star as Debbie Ocean and Lou, respectively, two criminal masterminds who put together a crack team of thieves to pull off a heist of New York’s annual Met Gala. Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter also star.

Among the doc’s highlights: Ginsburg’s friendship with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, a segment on her damnation of Trump (and subsequent apology), and the general sense of getting inside the story of a remarkable, opera-loving seeker of justice—who happens to be a woman.

O A Quiet Place

(90 mins., PG-13)

Audiences dare not make a sound. John Krasinski shows mastery of the horror genre, despite A Quiet Place being the first horror film he’s directed. In the film, a species of blind creature hunts humans using hypersensitive hearing.

The Abbott family—husband Lee (Krasinski), wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt), deaf daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and sons Marcus (Noah Jupe) and Beau (Cade Woodward)—must live silently in order to hide from these mysterious monsters. The script, setting, and production are original and fantastically constructed. Krasinski and Blunt are married to each other in real life, and Simmonds is also deaf in real life, all of which gives a strong sense of believability to the hauntingly realistic performances. A Quiet Place has reinvigorated modern thriller storytelling, hopefully putting to rest lazy jump-scare tactics and ushering in the return of creativity and suspense in horror. (NS) Fiesta 5

➤ O Solo: A Star Wars Story (135 mins., PG-13)

Disney’s blockbuster reboot of the Star Wars universe reaches a peak level of fun and adventure in its newest release, Solo: A Star Wars Story. The film boasts some big names, being directed by Ron Howard and featuring Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) as Qi’ra and Donald Glover (Atlanta) as Lando Calrissian.

Alden Ehrenreich (Beautiful Creatures) as Han Solo does a great job of depicting the character without trying too hard to emulate Harrison Ford’s version.

The film suffers a bit from some predictable plot points and not-so-subtle references; however, that is to be expected from a story following a character as iconic as Han Solo. Overall, the mesmerizing action scenes and cheesy-ness may not be exactly what die-hard Star Wars fans originally wanted, but they make Solo an exceptional beginning to a new look at a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF MAY 31 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): A critic described Leonardo da Vinci’s painting the “Mona Lisa” as “the most visited, most written about, most sung about, most parodied work of art in the world.” It hasn’t been sold recently, but is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Today it’s kept in the world-renowned Louvre museum in Paris, where it’s viewed by millions of art lovers. But for years after its creator’s death, it enjoyed little fanfare while hanging in the bathroom of the French King François. I’d love to see a similar evolution in your own efforts, Aries: a rise from humble placement and modest appreciation to a more interesting fate and greater approval. The astrological omens suggest that you have more power than usual to make this happen in the coming weeks and months.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): These days, many films use CGI, computer-generated imagery. The technology is sophisticated and efficient. But in the early days of its use, producing such realistic fantasies was painstaking and time intensive. For example, Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park featured four minutes of CGI that required a year to create. I hope that in the coming weeks, you will summon equivalent levels of oldschool tenacity and persistence and attention to detail as you devote yourself to a valuable task that you love.

Your passion needs an infusion of discipline. Don’t be shy about grunting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On February 17, 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev had an appointment with a local cheese-making company to provide his expert consultation. But he never made it. A blast of inspiration overtook him soon after he awoke, and he stayed home to tend to the blessed intrusion. He spent that day as well as the next two perfecting his vision of the periodic table of the elements, which he had researched and thought about for a long time. Science was forever transformed by Mendeleyev’s breakthrough. I doubt your epiphanies in the coming weeks will have a similar power to remake the whole world,

Gemini. But they could very well remake your world.

When they arrive, honor them. Feed them. Give them enough room to show you everything they’ve got.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ninety-five percent of your fears have little or no objective validity. Some are delusions generated by the neurotic parts of your imagination.

Others are delusions you’ve absorbed from the neurotic spew of other people’s imaginations. What I’ve just told you is both bad news and good news. On the one hand, it’s a damn shame you feel so much irrational and unfounded anxiety. On the other hand, hearing my assertion that so much of it is irrational and unfounded might mobilize you to free yourself from its grip. I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to wage a campaign to do just that. June can and should be Fighting for Your Freedom from Fear Month.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): During the next four weeks, I’ll celebrate if you search for and locate experiences that will heal the part of your heart that’s still a bit broken.

My sleep at night will be extra deep and my dreams extra sweet if I know you’re drumming up practical support for your feisty ideals. I’ll literally jump for joy if you hunt down new teachings that will ultimately ensure you start making a daring dream come true in 2019. And my soul will soar if you gravitate toward the mind-expanding kind of hedonism rather than the mind-shrinking variety.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Everyone has a unique fate that’s interesting enough to write a book about. Each of us has at least one epic story to tell that would make people cry and laugh and adjust their thoughts about the meaning of life. What would your saga be like?

Think about what’s unfolding right now, because I bet that would be a ripe place to start your meditations.

The core themes of your destiny are currently on vivid display, with new plot twists taking your drama in

novel directions. Want to get started? Compose the first two sentences of your memoir.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Oracle: I find myself in the weird position of trying to decide between doing the good thing and doing the right thing. If I opt to emphasize sympathy and kindness, I may look like an eager-to-please wimp with shaky principles. But if I push hard for justice and truth, I may seem rude and insensitive. Why is it so challenging to have integrity?

—Vexed Libra.”

Dear Libra: My advice is to avoid the all-or-nothing approach. Be willing to be half good and half right.

Sometimes the highest forms of integrity require you to accept imperfect solutions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have waited long enough to retaliate against your adversaries. It’s high time to stop simmering with frustration and resentment. Take direct action! I suggest you arrange to have a box of elephant poop shipped to their addresses. You can order it here: tinyurl.com/ElephantManure. JUST KIDDING! I misled you with the preceding statements. It would in fact be a mistake for you to express such vulgar revenge. Here’s the truth: Now is an excellent time to seek retribution against those who have opposed you, but the best ways to do that would be by proving them wrong, surpassing their accomplishments, and totally forgiving them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Marketing experts say that motivating a person to say yes to a big question is more likely if you first build momentum by asking them smaller questions to which it’s easy to say yes. I encourage you to adopt this slant for your own purposes in the coming weeks. It’s prime time to extend invitations and make requests that you’ve been waiting for the right moment to risk. People whom you need on your side will, I suspect, be more receptive than usual — and with good reasons — but you may still have to be smoothly strategic in your approach.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I bet you’ll be offered at least one valuable gift, and possibly more. But I’m concerned that you may not recognize them for their true nature.

So I’ve created an exercise to enhance your ability to identify and claim these gifts in disguise. Please ruminate on the following concepts: (1) a pain that can heal, (2) a shadow that illuminates, (3) an unknown or anonymous ally, (4) a secret that nurtures intimacy, (5) a power akin to underground lightning, (6) an invigorating boost disguised as tough love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I was a kid attending elementary schools in the American Midwest, recess was a core part of my educational experience. For 45 minutes each day, we were excused from our studies so we could indulge in free-form play — outdoors, if the weather was nice, or else in the gymnasium. But in recent years, schools in the U.S. have shrunk the time allotted for recess. Many schools have eliminated it altogether. Don’t they understand this is harmful to the social, emotional, and physical health of their students? In any case, Aquarius, I hope you move in the opposite direction during the coming weeks. You need more than your usual quota of time away from the grind. More fun and games, please! More messing around and merriment! More recess!

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): For many years, actor Mel Blanc provided the voice for Bugs Bunny, a cartoon character who regularly chowed down on raw carrots. But Blanc himself did not like raw carrots. In a related matter, actor John Wayne, who pretended to be a cowboy and horseman in many movies, did not like horses.

And according to his leading ladies, charismatic, macho film hunk Harrison Ford is not even close to being an expert kisser. What about you, Pisces? Is your public image in alignment with your true self? If there are discrepancies, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make corrections.

Homework: Each of us has a secret ignorance.
