Discover Your Paradise

Welcome to Adulthood, Graduates Life is full of surprises. Many of them are pleasant, others not so much. And while we can’t predict the future, we can plan for it.

Young adults should meet with an estate planning attorney early in life to gain an understanding of their rights and the steps they can take now to plan for every stage of life’s journey. Everyone who turns 18 should have, at minimum, the following planning documents: • Health Care Power of Attorney • Living Will • HIPAA Release • Financial Power of Attorney GRADUATES: Your parents can no longer make your healthcare or financial decisions, so it is important that you have these documents to protect yourself and them.

PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS: Your young adult loved ones may need a “nudge” to have these vital documents created.

I hope you’ll give them that nudge, for their sake and your peace of mind.

For a complimentary consultation call: 805-946-1550.

Mention this ad and Graduates receive 15% off their documents!

Job Title: Marketing & Promotions Manager Contribution to Burger Week: Creator and overseer What’s your favorite style of burger? I truly believe less is more when it comes to a burger’s anatomy. It’s really all in the details. What differentiates a good burger from a great one? Fresh ingredients and a tasty bun.

Do you have a home burger recipe? Ironically, some of my favorite burgers in town and to make at home are veggie! My go-to at-home creation consists of a grilled veggie patty topped with crisp little gem lettuce, a slice of heirloom tomato, and spicy mayo, all sandwiched between a toasted brioche bun.

vigil. But once the group gathered, a person started chanting, and it became a vocal protest as attendees made their way over to the Sunken Gardens. Demonstrator Jatzibe Sandoval comes from a family of immigrants. “I cried a couple of times,” she said.“It’s beautiful knowing we have allies. This is an emotional topic for a lot of us.”

ven though Trump had signed an executive order ending his administration’s policy of separating migrant families at the Mexican border, well over 300 people showed up on June 20, filling the four corners of State and Anapamu streets downtown. Ralph Armbruster-Sandoval, a UCSB Chicano studies professor and one of the rally organizers, said that while ending family separation is good, “There is still so much wrong that it would be ridiculous to call off the event.” The protest was originally planned to be a quiet, peaceful

CHILDCARE: Speakers, including Jarrod Schwartz (top, left) of Just Communities and Diana Collins Puente (above) with Associated Students of UCSB, address hundreds gathered downtown to protest President Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration policy that has separated more than 2,000 children from their families as they crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without documentation.

said; contact Congress and “put your money where your mouth is,” she told the crowd.“We are nowhere near the end of this struggle.”

Frank Rodriguez with the Central Coast Immigration Rights Coalition and Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy is working to diminish ICE’s presence in the Santa Barbara community. “The issue is here, not just at the border,” he said. “Criticize ICE here, in Camarillo, Santa Maria, in our jails — no one from our 805 community should be taken away from us.” The overarching theme of the protest was that immigrants deserve a place in the community. “The goal is not to defend our community,” said Vicente Garcia from Future Leaders of America. “It’s to love our community.”

Another demonstration is scheduled for 11 a.m. on June 30 at De la Guerra Plaza in conjunction with nationwide protests against Trump’s immigration policies.

Hollister Ranch Public-Access Deal Under Heavy Fire

A

by Keith Hamm t first glance, the closed-door deal struck

between Hollister Ranch property owners and the State of California bodes well for environmental educators, at-risk youth, disabled veterans, and other traditionally underserved groups seeking to discover seaside marvels and untrammeled serenity along the gated community’s mostly undeveloped 14,500 acres. And, for the first time in the Santa Barbara County ranch’s history, the deal would also open to the public a 3,880foot stretch of dry sand, at Cuarta Beach, where visitors can lounge and play during daylight hours. To some, particularly members of the Hollister Ranch Owners’ Association (HROA) who voted overwhelmingly in favor, it sounds like a good deal. But according

to hundreds of Californians who’ve written to the California Coastal Commission, the state agency that recently settled with the ranch after five years of litigation, the deal falls flat on several fronts.

First up, critics contend, the settlement abandons a nearly 40-year-old irrevocable offer to dedicate public access along the main ranch road. Instead, it would allow the public to reach Cuarta Beach on personal watercraft, such as kayaks or paddleboards, or soft-bottom boats. Cuarta is located about three miles west of Gaviota State Beach, through waters often rendered dangerous by wind and waves.

Cuarta Beach

With the 6/1 retirement of Channel Islands National Park (CINP) Superintendent Russell Galipeau (pictured), an acting superintendent, Ethan McKinley, starts on 7/9 to oversee the roughly 250,000 acres that make up Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara islands. Galipeau worked for the National Park Service for 40 years, the past 15 at CINP headquarters in Ventura. McKinley arrives from Delaware’s First State National Historic Park, where he’s served as superintendent since 2015.

The Santa Barbara City Council approved spending $1.9 million to make over a 1,440-foot-long stretch of Arroyo Burro Creek alongside Las Positas Road.

The project is to rid the creek of Arundo donax — a notoriously stubborn plant originally harvested to make saxophone reeds — expand the creek’s channel, stabilize its banks, improve water infiltration, and create a more inviting riparian experience for the public. The plan complements the recently funded effort to build a Class I bike path along Las Positas from Modoc Road to Cliff Drive. About $1 million of the creek restoration money comes from state grants; the remainder from voter-approved Measure B revenue.

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson cast the sole dissenting vote from the dais of the Senate Judiciary Committee against a bill — AB 813 — that would bring California’s fragmented power-transmission system under the regulatory sway of a unified 14-state system presided over by the federal government. Environmental activists, including Food & Water Watch of Santa Barbara, lobbied against the bill, arguing it would facilitate the importation of coal-powered electricity and other dirty sources to California. Proponents, including Gov. Jerry Brown, argue that California’s regulatory system is the most fragmented in the nation, making it prohibitively cumbersome and expensive for smaller green-energy providers. The new federalized approach, proponents added, would make it easier for such providers to pack the power lines with unspoken-for solar energy. The Judiciary Committee voted 5-1 to approve the bill.

LAW & DISORDER “If you’re not in top physical shape, you can’t get there [under your own power],” said Santa Barbara resident Susan Jordan, executive director of the nonprofit California Coastal Protection Network. “The general public has been left out of this equation.”

The Presbyterian camp and conference center at Rancho La Scherpa, located near the top of Refugio Road, is now facing three lawsuits related to the Sherpa Fire, which started on 6/15/15, and burned 7,474 acres and destroyed a state-owned water facility. Eric Hvolboll of nearby Rancho La Paloma

In the continuing fallout from the embezzlement of $2.1 million from the county’s Public Works department, seven of the nine charged have pleaded guilty. Two were dropped from the case.

Lynn Hogan, who diverted the funds as a longtime accountant for the department, was given a nineyear sentence. On 6/27, Michael Anzivino, who was perceived as the ringleader behind the scheme, was sentenced to 13 years and eight months.

The Downtown Organization of Santa Barbara is still searching for a new executive director, five months after its former director, Maggie Campbell, abruptly resigned. Campbell’s departure reportedly followed several heated arguments with councilmembers over last year’s holiday parade.

During her four years with the organization, Campbell had frequently clashed with city leaders, particularly over the presence of homeless people on State Street. With 1,400 dues-paying members, the organization is a million-dollar nonprofit that oversees the marketing and promotion of Santa Barbara’s central business districts.

That case is ongoing. Losses were also reported

by El Capitan Ranch, which sued on 6/14, the day after a complaint was filed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, suing to recover suppression and investigation costs. The multiagency effort to extinguish the blaze reportedly topped $16 million. A resident of the ranch is blamed for accidentally starting the wildfire by dropping hot embers on the ground while moving a smoky fireplace log outside to hose it down.

After more than 20 years and 600 episodes, outspoken and curmudgeonly civic crusader Ernie Solomon (pictured), 83, announced he will no longer produce his public-access talk show Ernie Solomon Live. Famous among Santa Barbara reporters for his blistering emails, Solomon was typically both outraged and outrageous, saying things out loud that few dared even think. Big-hearted, angry, and on occasion even sweet, Solomon took pride in predicting Trump would win the presidency back when he was still fighting for his party’s nomination. “I’m an immigrant, but you have to control the borders,” said Solomon, who arrived from Austria in 1939. A centrist Democrat by inclination, Solomon had a passion for railing against stupidity and ineptitude. He takes greatest pride in his shows that highlighted various diseases. “That helped people,” he said. “If I saved one life, it was worth the whole 20 years.” He added, “It’s time to let someone else carry the ball.

hen the Republican Congress passed its tax reform bill last year, it was only a matter of time before Santa Barbara’s Neighborhood Clinics felt the ripple effects.

According to clinic CEO Dr. Charles Fenzi, that time is now, and the clinics have lost about 8 percent of annual operating revenue, roughly $1.1 million. Included in the tax reform package was language abolishing the penalty imposed for individuals who opted not to sign up under the Affordable Care Act. Without that penalty, Fenzi said, the clinics experienced an increase in the number of uninsured patients, from 19 percent to 31 percent, a spike that has prompted the clinics to bridge the gap through private fundraising. Some patients — especially those pursuing preventative care — have stopped showing up, Fenzi said.

Meanwhile, Texas is challenging the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with regard to its protections for patients with preexisting

conditions. About 5.8 million Californians are estimated to have preexisting conditions. Without ACA protections, patients may see premium hikes or insurance carriers may simply not offer coverage. For people with chronic conditions, like diabetes, that’s of special concern, Fenzi said, as it qualifies as a preexisting condition. Of the Neighborhood Clinics’ 22,000 patients, about 1,000 have diabetes.

Representatives with Covered California, which administers the Affordable Care Act in the state, declined to speculate how much premiums will rise, stating the matter is currently the subject of intense negotiations. That announcement is expected in July. Given the high premiums and high deductibles of many plans—and Santa Barbara has only one provider—more people will be inclined not to sign up. And for Dr. Fenzi, that’s of serious concern.

espite the forensic audit of former Santa Barbara County Public Works accountant Lynn Hogan’s ability to steal $2.1 million over 10 years, the Grand Jury report released last week indicates it could happen again, easily.

But Auditor-Controller Theo Fallati disagrees, saying that after the embezzlement, his team met with all 26 county departments to go over policies on internal controls, and every quarter they meet with the chief financial officers for updates on the finance information network (FIN) and discussions of any issues.

In particular, the Grand Jury was concerned that the county had no requirement to Theo Fallati change passwords periodically for FIN and that no second signature was needed to create a temporary vendor when issuing checks—which is how Hogan stole $1.7 million. Among numerous other faults, it noted only 2.5 persons existed in the five-person internal audit division and that its software fell short. [The full version of this story is at independent.com.]

Fallati replied that the password problem had been fixed and that a requirement for a second approval on temporary vendor checks was put in place almost immediately after Hogan’s thefts were discovered. The problem with Hogan’s situation was that so much trust had been placed in her, and she was willing to abuse it, Fallati said.“The same person who takes checks in shouldn’t reconcile bank accounts and write checks out.”

Regarding his staff shortage, Fallati acknowledged,“Internal audit is half its size.” He said he didn’t ask for more personnel in the last budget round “given the county’s situation

PAU L WELLM AN

Grand Jury Report Disputed

…. If it came down to another custody deputy or an internal auditor, which would you choose?”

The Grand Jury also suggested that FIN be replaced with an “enterprise resource planning” system, or ERP. That swap could be done, Fallati said, with an audible shrug in his voice, but Marin County just spent $30 million on an ERP that failed. The county’s FIN is unique, developed by four employees in the 1990s and upgraded over the years.

Among those employees were newly elected Auditor-Controller Betsy Schaffer and her former husband, Rick Schaffer, whom Fallati called a brilliant computer-science architect.

That close connection became an issue in June’s unexpectedly acrimonious race for the office. “The beauty of having [FIN] selfdeveloped is that our [own] people can fix bugs or make enhancements,” Fallati said.

Cannabis Regulation Growing in Fits and Starts Countywide

n the still very theoretical world of legalized recreational cannabis, the City of Goleta could theoretically become the epicenter of the most intensely licensed cannabis county in the entire state of California. Last week, Goleta’s City Council voted to allow as many as 15 dispensaries. What this means in reality, however, remains far from clear. Goleta officials are not certain that 15 permit-friendly locations actually exist within city limits, nor is it clear exactly where the number 15 came from.“The Planning Commission pulled that number out of its pocket,” explained city spokesperson Valerie Kushnerov.

Many in the cannabis trade question whether Goleta has the population necessary to sustain more than two storefront operations, assuming that voters approve the city’s proposed cannabis tax this November. By contrast, the City of Santa Barbara is poised to allow three storefront adult recreational dispensaries, and the County of Santa Barbara is allowing eight throughout its unincorporated territory. Before any applications for county permits can be submitted, however, the California Coastal Commission has to sign off on the county’s pot ordinance, and that’s not expected to take place until sometime between next January and June.

The City of Lompoc appears to be the most accommodating to the new industry, at least on paper, and is not proposing to impose any numerical cap on retail storefronts at all. Lompoc officials expect that space and distance requirements — from schools, parks, and other dispensaries—will limit the number, as will market constraints.

Even so, Lompoc is also the only municipality to propose allowing cannabis clubs —the pot equivalent of wine-tasting rooms — where on-site consumption is permitted.

Initially, the Lompoc City Council had voted not to impose any tax on the new industry, but last week, the council changed its mind and is expected to place a schedule of various cannabis taxes to the voters for approval this coming November.

To date, the legalization of recreational cannabis has managed to generate a flurry of new rules, regulations, fees, and taxes, but so far no actual storefronts where actual legal pot can be purchased have materialized.

Currently, there are only two legal dispensaries countywide, both operating in Goleta

and both operating as medicinal dispensaries rather than recreational. Those two operations will undergo a major regulatory sea change, effective July 1, when new state rules and regulations take effect governing how cannabis — whether recreational or medicinal—is tested, packaged, and labeled, indicating potency and the presence of pesticides or other adulterants. Edibles must be labeled to indicate how much can be eaten safely within certain time parameters. Any pot not tested, according to the new rules, must be destroyed. Currently, there are 18 licensed testing facilities in California, none in Santa Barbara County.

Meanwhile, the City of Santa Barbara is winding up its retail dispensary application process. Unlike any other jurisdiction in the cannabis game, Santa Barbara has created an elaborate application gauntlet in which applicants are rated. Six applicants managed to make the first cut, three on downtown State Street. Of all six, no more than three can be chosen. The winners are slated to be announced July 9. In addition, City Hall is reviewing the application of two manufacturing operations, one on Reddick Avenue and one on Gutierrez Street. According to Santa Barbara Police spokesperson Anthony Wagner, no date has been scheduled for announcing which of the manufacturingdistribution-and-delivery proposals will be approved.

In Santa Barbara, weed has traveled from growers to consumers via a vast fleet of home-delivery drivers, none of which are specifically licensed, according to state records. Wagner described the home-delivery industry as “porous,” adding, “What draws the ire more than anything else is that they’re tax cheats.” Wagner intimated enforcement actions could soon take place.

One operator, he said, has already received a cease-and-desist letter from the state’s Bureau of Cannabis Control.

Dennis Bozanich, the County of Santa Barbara’s de facto cannabis czar, said he’s currently coordinating enforcement actions against unlicensed growers with the county Sheriff’s Office. “At this point, you’re either licensed or you’re not,” Bozanich said. He advised unlicensed operators growing more than the six plants allowed by law for personal cultivation “to find a new place to live.”

Those who don’t, he said, “are about to meet n some of our friends.”

lready down four jurors, the criminal trial charging Plains All American Pipeline with criminal negligence in the wake of the 2015 Refugio Oil Spill excused another alternate juror this week. An attorney was also shown the door: Judge James Herman removed Deputy Attorney General Ross Hirsch, who’s been observing the case in preparation for future civil proceedings.

Hirsch was removed for speaking with a juror, an action Judge Herman deemed “totally inappropriate.” Hirsch has a broken foot; he said the juror, during a break outside the courtroom, commented on his knee scooter and the courthouse palm trees.

Hirsch said his limited mobility prevented him from ending the interaction. The Plains team was more concerned that when defense attorney Gary Lincenberg pressed for more details, it was revealed Hirsch apparently also told the juror he was an environmental lawyer.

The case for Plains’ negligence rests as much on what the company did as on what it didn’t do. Either way, details have been elusive. Plains employees who have been testifying have rarely recalled specifics concerning pipeline activities, especially when they’re asked to remember as far back as 2007. One morning, Judge Herman grew seemingly frustrated with both legal teams, asking the defense team to limit interruptions and objections.

Herman also advised the prosecution to ask questions of the right witness, which, considering Plains’ middle-management structure, could prove problematic — the ruptured pipeline was supervised by an operations manager, who reported to a district manager, who reported to a division manager. The jury has heard each of these employees answer nearly identical questions.

Hollister Ranch cont’d from p. 9 The general public, she continued, is also not part of the settlement’s commitment to expand the ranch’s existing educational programs—which invite teachers and schoolchildren to go tide-pooling with ranch-appointed docents — and increase the number of nonprofit groups allowed to lead beach outings for disabled vets, for example. While Jordan appreciates the importance of what’s being called “managed access,” especially for underserved youth, she testified before the Coastal Commission on June 6 that “chaperoned access” is a more fitting term—and she has warned that private property owners in other hotly contested public-access battles are already looking to model their own solutions after the Hollister settlement.

At the same June 6 meeting, Coastal Commission Executive Director Jack Ainsworth explained that the cost of expanding the ranch’s group-access programs could be funded through special inlieu development fees that have been collected since the 1980s. As an amendment to the Coastal Act, the state requires a Hollister Ranch owner pulling a development permit to pay $5,000 into a fund earmarked to establish ranch access “for the public at large,” according to Marc Chytilo, an attorney representing the nonprofit Gaviota Coast Conservancy (GCC). To spend that money on beefing up the ranch’s narrowly focused access programs “is an inappropriate use of those fees,” he said.

The settlement stems from the offer to dedicate, recorded in 1982, an overland public-access easement to Cuarta Beach that the Coastal Commission required of the Metropolitan YMCA of Los Angeles as the Christian youth group sought to build an overnight facility on ranch property it owned at the time. Though the YMCA sold the property to the HROA before the camp could be realized, according to court records, the easement is “irrevocable … in

perpetuity … [and] a covenant that runs with the land … binding the applicant and their successors.” The ranch, through attorney Steve Amerikaner, has been attempting to legally extinguish the offer to dedicate for decades, and the HROA promptly sued the California Coastal Conservancy when the agency picked up the offer five years ago.

In an unusual move during a settlement hearing in May, Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne stipulated that outside parties may be allowed to intervene in the case, a ruling praised by Jordan, Chytilo, and GCC boardmember Phil McKenna, among others. Sterne had asked both sides if the public ought to be notified of the settlement because it “abandons disputed rights of public access.” Both sides said public notice was not required by law, and in a brief to the court, the state Attorney General’s Office said giving the public a headsup about the settlement was “unwarranted” and “simply unnecessary.” Sterne disagreed.

Interested parties have until July 23 to file a motion to intervene. In the meantime, the Coastal Commission is holding an informational meeting on the settlement at its July 13 hearing in Santa Cruz.

At last count, the Coastal Commission had received nearly 800 letters criticizing the settlement for not going far enough to provide public access to the coveted shores of Hollister Ranch. A handful, however, praise it for limiting the reach of the general public and its tendency to overwhelm and trash the places it cherishes the most.

“Hollister Ranch is a world-class example of ‘private conservation,’” wrote David Levine of Southern California. “It is expensive, awkward, and always contentious — but this model protects California’s coastal resources better than any other mechanism in the history of conservation. If the public wants to enjoy the Gaviota Coast, there are three awesome State Parks. Finalize the n settlement. It’s a gift.”

$28 Million Down the Drain

E

ven in the midst of the nation’s worst opioid crisis, Addiction Medicine Services managed to lose so much money so fast that it was forced to pull the plug on its Lompoc detox and rehab center last year after less than two years in operation. The Santa Barbara County Grand Jury found this failure left the Lompoc Valley Medical Center—the state’s oldest public hospital district—holding the bag on $10 million in operating losses and an $18 million loan that costs about $1 million a year to service. The Medical Center owned Lompoc’s old hospital, which it leased out to Addiction Medicine Services in 2014. The Grand Jury concluded the hospital district failed to pursue basic due diligence before entering into the deal. It also failed to establish the licensing necessary to secure contracts with major insurers. These failures, coupled with the absence of any marketing plan, led to occupancy rates of less than 40 percent.

This horror story of eyes-wide-shut financial planning is of keen public interest because county supervisors have been in negotiations with the hospital district to acquire the recently renovated hospital property to transform it into an 80-bed acute-care psychiatric facility for those with long-term needs. Currently, no such facility exists in Santa Barbara County, forcing the Department of Behavioral Wellness to export such patients at the cost of millions of dollars annually. Behavioral Wellness Director Alice Gleghorn, who has long argued for the county to invest in the creation of longterm acute care, said she could not discuss real estate negotiations, which the county supervisors authorized April 3 in a closed-door session, and would not comment on rumors that the asking price for the hospital was $10 million.

Unreasonable Dog

FIGHTIN’ WORDS: As a general rule, I don’t

take it particularly well when someone tells me — as has been known to happen — “Be reasonable.” First, it presumes I’m not. Second, it presumes they are. By framing it in these terms, they — whoever they are — have already claimed the argumentative high ground. That leaves me occupying the lowland terrain reserved presumably for hysterics, mystics, and those who argue with themselves on State Street and lose.

The only thing worse is people who smoke pipes.

I mention this particular bugaboo because a brand-new political organization has burst upon the Santa Barbara scene, purporting to usher in a new age of sweet reason. Naturally, it calls itself Reason in Government, and promises to become “The Voice for the Radical Center.” Why do I smell pipe smoke?

To give the new group props, they’re already hitting way above their weight class. You may never have heard of them; you might not ever.

But they’ve already changed the way The Game will be played in terms of county elections and which way the teeter-totter of power tilts at the County Board of Supervisors. While most people have busied themselves frothing at the mouth, Reason in Government has been quietly collecting signatures — more than 16,000 — to place an initiative before voters to create a new independent commission empowered to redraw the boundary lines for each of the five supervisorial districts.

THE INDEPENDENT

JUNE 28, 2018

Next Tuesday, they and their signatures go before the county supervisors, who have no choice but to place the matter on this November’s ballot. (There is talk, however, of getting a competing ballot measure on too. We’ll see.)

In exactly the same way most trials are won or lost with the selection of the jury, the political outcome of most elections is preordained by the drawing of the boundary lines. Whosoever draws the lines picks the winners.

Every 10 years, we are required to redraw the boundary lines based on the latest Census results. The idea — at least on paper — is to draw the lines so that each district has the same number of people represented and communities of interest are kept intact. In reality, it’s all about stacking the deck and rigging the game so that your side prevails. It’s called gerrymandering.

If I just used the word “rig,” I did so advisably. The acronym for this new group — Reason in Government — happens to be RIG. RIG? Redistricting? Really?

For the record, everyone hates gerrymandering. Everyone loves independent commissions to prevent it. That’s because the abuses are legendary and they’re real. For 10 years, Lois Capps — Santa Barbara’s nearly saintly Democratic ex-congressmember — represented a district known as “the ribbon of shame” that was drawn specifically to give her a 12 percent advantage in registered Democrats over registered Republicans. Capps’s district was a narrow blue band of the coast

INDEPENDENT.COM

200 miles long and so skinny that it was said to disappear at high tide.

RIG was started by Bob Collector, a former filmmaker and a longtime community agitator who’s lived in Montecito and Summerland. Joining him on the board is a guy who used to be head of the Federal Communications Commission under Ronald Reagan.

Collector, usually not shy with his insights or opinions, said he was not yet prepared to talk on the record as he and his posse were “caught flat-footed” that the supes would be taking up their ballot initiative so swiftly.

My North County Republican friends tell me RIG is really all about splitting UCSB and Isla Vista into separate districts so that more conservative candidates have a better shot at winning the 3rd District, long the key swing district that determines the balance of power at the Board of Supervisors. To be fair, they say Collector insists the only agenda is fairness. They’re skeptical for a number of reasons.

The first is the money. To date, RIG has raised more than $100,000 to collect signatures. Of the $42,000 itemized in the latest campaign filing statement, every cent of it came from North County ag, business, and Republican interests long exasperated by the eco-friendly,

union-dependent tilt of the county supervisors. Conspicuously missing from campaign filings was any South Coast — or even centrist — money.

That may be because the signature-gathering effort was spearheaded by Bob Nelson — who did return my phone call — who happens to be 4th District Supervisor Peter

Adam’s right-hand man and political consigliere. Adam may be a whole lot of things, but a centrist has never been among them. He is and always has been exuberantly radical in style, tactics, and his conservative ideology.

To the extent the board has an odd man out, it is Adam, who plays the role to the hilt with gleeful and outrageous abandon.

Four years ago, Adam floated a ballot initiative — Measure M — designed to starve the tapeworm of county government. On paper, it would have required the county to maintain all roads and infrastructures at their current levels of repair, a modest if reasonable-sounding proposition. In reality, Measure M would have required the diversion of $20 million to $30 million from other county departments and programs. In one respect, Measure M succeeded beyond its wildest dreams. It managed to unify every other county supervisor — liberals and conservatives — department heads, special interests of all stripes, and union bosses in opposition. By contrast, a homeowners’ rights organization that Collector was then leading — the Neighborhood Defense League of California — backed Measure M to the tune of $40,000. That was the biggest single donation received by either side.

In an interview back then, Adam described his measure as the political equivalent of a “temper tantrum.” I get temper tantrums.

But I don’t pretend I’m being reasonable when I throw one. And I don’t ask others to pretend I am, either. When other people do, I smell pipe smoke.

about Tom Urbanske, who passed away peacefully on May 17 at age 88: his kindness, inclusiveness, and advocacy for those on the edges of the community’s mainstream; his multiple tenures on the Santa Maria school board, City Council, and County Board of Supervisors. But his children, Thereece, Veroneka, Stan, and Moneka (to whom I am married), remember so well how much he loved Santa Maria. He spent the majority of his life in this community, in a valley he considered the greatest place on earth.

Tom would wax eloquently about Santa Maria’s geography, Los Padres Forest to the east, and the mostly peaceful, but at times raging, Santa Maria River, which wraps around vast tracts of agricultural land as it journeys west to the Pacific Ocean. Even the climate, including the strong afternoon breeze, he found just right: not too hot and not too cold.

This is not to say that Tom felt Santa Maria was perfect. He was always disappointed that the city had ripped out its core and link to its historic heritage by constructing the Town Center Mall at Broadway and Main. In fact, this is what led to his career in local politics and what compelled him to run for City Council in 1971. He won his election but lost on stopping redevelopment. He was never bitter about it, remaining the optimist he always was.

Tom was never a man to appreciate flash and glitz. Always frugal, a necessity for a teacher with a family of six, he would take the family on the occasional vacation to places like Disneyland (and the nearby Busch Gardens with free beer samples!).

More frequently they would all hop into the station wagon for romps on the beach at Oso Flaco Dunes or for moody walks along windswept Point Sal. Then there were always visits to farmers’ markets to stroll around sampling fresh fruits and vegetables —and strawberries, always strawberries — with Tom extending a handshake and flashing his broad, warm smile to everyone. The Urbanske household was typically devoid of store-bought cookies or potato chips but always rich in oranges, plums, apricots, or whatever was ripening in the season at hand.

Of course, he’d often covertly slip his wife, Barbara, an Almond Joy candy bar for a latenight snack when the kids were sleeping.

Over the years, they took numerous cross-country treks in the family hauler with everyone aboard, their flatulent Weimaraner, Ricky, included, to Kansas, St. Louis, and Arlington, Virginia — where Tom was born — to visit family. Tom would make a

point of taking everyone on field trips to Washington, D.C., to see the (free!) museums and to visit their local congressmember.

The kids were always agog at the accessibility of elected officials, which imprinted on them the firm notion that these people of power worked for them.

Tom was a natural storyteller. The more ribald ones I’ll have to leave to his daughter Veroneka (you can find her working at the Santa Maria airport), including stories about the “striptease” he would perform at the Vocational Training Center’s annual fashion show (he just swung his jacket overhead a few times, but it always brought the house down). Tom had a pungent opinion about KFC’s Colonel Sanders, too, but that’s all I’m willing to say about that.

His favorite stories were about going to baseball games with “Pop” and how he learned the art and strategy of the game. Tom loved the game so much that during one particularly lousy Padres season, Thereece recalls, they would have to stay to the very last pitch, no matter the score, even if the Padres were behind 9-1 in the bottom of the eighth on a hot Sunday afternoon in August. I was always impressed at Tom’s ability to distinguish a fastball from a curveball, or split-finger, or other junk pitch. Mind you, this was not from the comfort of the living room sofa and a television camera placed behind home plate, but live, at the ballpark, in the nosebleed seats.

Stan says he always wondered if his father was demonstrating his storytelling ability during these commentaries. I was never quite sure.

Tom’s passion for sports was matched by his dedication to staying physically fit. Tom was a runner, a bicyclist, a swimmer, and a prolific walker. Even in his eighties, he could get on the ground and pop off 15 credible push-ups. The Urbanske household always had a football, baseball, or basketball game booming from the television. When the splitscreen picture-in-picture feature arrived, Tom would watch two games simultaneously.

He loved that. Sports were as central to his day-to-day existence as reading staff reports in preparation for City Council or county supervisor meetings.

Tom Urbanske’s life was long and rich.

Through the GI Bill, Tom earned advanced college degrees and then enjoyed a productive career representing the community he treasured. He and Barbara, his true love, remained married for more than 65 years.

They raised four children, who are all successful in their own lives, and he witnessed the birth of numerous grandchildren and even great-grandchildren. Who would not agree that this is ultimately what is important in life? Tom Urbanske, you will be missed.

Sylvia Camiel

07/14/41-05/14/18

Sylvia Camiel, Cultivator of Children and Gardens, Dies at 76 Sylvia Camiel, a passionate educator who championed students from elementary school through college over the course of a dynamic and accomplished career, has died after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. She was 76.

Sylvia was born in Mexico City, Mexico, on July 14, 1941, the youngest daughter of Jewish immigrants from Poland, Rebecca and Yidl (Juan) Sierota. Yidl owned a general store in the town of Navojoa, Sonora, where he traded with the Yaqui Indian tribe.

At the age of nine, Sylvia left Navojoa with her mother for the United States. She always remembered the trip north by train to Denver, Colorado, where she and Rebecca lived in a boarding house until Yidl arrived. Sylvia, whose first language was Spanish, mastered English and excelled academically.

In 1960, she was admitted to UC Berkeley.

At Berkeley, Sylvia developed a love of American history—her major—that would stay with her throughout the years. Berkeley was also the setting for Sylvia’s introduction to the great love of her life—her husband Jack Camiel, whom she met on a blind date and married in 1961 at the age of 19. Though cash was in short supply in those early years, the hallmarks of their 57-year marriage—deep love and partnership, a mutual set of values, a shared moral compass, and a great sense of humor—were abundant.

Two children, Jeffrey and Deborah, came along as Jack and Sylvia completed their bachelor degrees and moved to Santa Barbara to pursue graduate work. Sylvia earned 18

THE INDEPENDENT

an MA in counseling psychology at UCSB and took a job as a guidance counselor at Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta. Ever a staunch advocate for students, she encouraged her counselees to aim high in their pursuit of a university education. Decades later, former students would still reach out to seek advice or thank her for the impact she’d had on their lives.

After 22 years at DP, Sylvia returned to school to pursue a master’s of educational administration at California Lutheran University.

She served as vice principal of Ventura High School before taking a position close to her heart: principal of E.P. Foster, an elementary school in Ventura. Among her achievements at E.P. Foster, Sylvia expanded the free school breakfast and lunch programs, established a computer lab, modernized the playground, restored the school’s Spanish-style architecture and introduced a peer mediation program that reflected— and taught—her kind, communicative and inclusive educational philosophy. Throughout her career, Sylvia won the respect and affection of her colleagues. After retiring briefly in 2001, she returned to counseling at Santa Barbara City College before finally stepping back from her career so she could be free to help take care of her young grandson.

Sylvia and Jack were active members of Santa Barbara’s Jewish community for half a century and were instrumental in founding pivotal local Jewish organizations. Embodying the “Woman of Valor” described in the verses of Proverbs 31, Sylvia helped her family all the days of her life: she was creative and skilled with her hands—sewing, knitting, crocheting and designing elegant jewelry in her spare time; she was a wonderful cook and a wise investor; she was a voracious reader, transmitting that passion and a love of learning to her children and grandson; and she was generous, philanthropic, and forthright. A single approach was fundamental to everything Sylvia undertook: she gave it her all.

The heart of Sylvia’s life was family, and she and Jack built a loving and devoted one, including their beloved dogs and cats. Sylvia doted on her grandson Ariel and often made the trek to Israel and then New Jersey to take care of him.

Her insatiable appetite for life and seemingly limitless energy carried Sylvia, Jack, Jeffrey, Deborah and Ariel to innumerable cultural experiences and fabulous trips around the globe that were scrupulously planned labors of love. Sylvia had a special connection to Israel, which she visited some 20 times, and she described Del Mar, California, where her family vacationed annually, as “paradise with beautiful light.” Most of all, Sylvia loved her unique Santa Barbara home and the lush unstructured garden where she spent so many happy hours.

Sylvia’s memory will live on through those who love her so dearly, those she touched with her special grace, and the legacy of her exemplary life.

There are stars whose light reaches the Earth Only long after they themselves are gone.

There are people, the glory of whose memory shines Though their time with us is done.

interested in professional clowning, and with her trusty accordion, developed her persona as “Squeezy the Clown”, and was often seen busking at the local farmers’ market.

She said “It’s my privilege to make people laugh.”

Undaunted by anything new to her, Nena in recent years became active with Toast Masters, and truly enjoyed giving speeches on everything from clowning, to a clear eyed prospect of death.

She is survived by her mother Lavonia, brother Mario, sister Marta, nephew Matt, nieces Nora, Xia, Zarina and Ariel, her loyal and caring companion Rob Lane, and her pug Picasso.

Many thanks to her wonderful neighbors Karen, Ellwood and Kathyrn, and Nena’s numerous friends for their frequent visits.

Special thanks to Lotte, RN, of Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care for her support.

A gathering will be held to celebrate Nena’s energy on July 28, 2018 adjacent to her home in Santa Barbara.

Nena Quiros

A Life Well Lived.

(A Life Lived Without Boredom?)

Born the middle child of 3, to Mario and Lavonia Quiros, Nena’s formative years were spent on the beaches of West Malibu, where she frequently took long cold ocean swims, to quench her incredible energy. Music, art and exercise would remain central to her active lifestyle.

In 1974, she arrived in Santa Barbara…and never left. She studied music and graduated from UCSB in 1976, and taught piano for decades. Her career as a graphic artist spanned 36 years, the last 19 with Central California Health, where she made many lasting friendships.

Her free time was never idle, as Nena engaged herself in swimming, bicycling, hot yoga, and raising Pugs, which she showed with good success.

On a whim, her husband Chris Carson, bought an old inoperable accordion. After thoroughly cleaning the instrument, Chris presented it to Nena, and another passion took hold. She soon joined the local Santa Barbara Accordian Club, and over the course of more than 20 years participated in the Solstice Parade with the Club, and many other music festivals. Nena became

Kim Angelo Christiansen 04/22/45-06/08/18

Kim Angelo Christiansen (aka Kimbo) a prolific artist, lover of family, and consummate free-spirit, passed away in his sleep on June 8, 2018, succumbing to his delicate yet loving heart at his home in Sunapee, NH. He was only 73.

Born in Bakersfield, CA in 1945 to Jens and Clara Christiansen, Kim grew up in Santa Barbara, CA with his older brother, Kit. He was active in student theater and music, and became a cheerleader so he could hang out with all the female cheerleaders. He went on to attend Berkeley and UCSB, during which time his passion for activism, fairness,

equality, and free speech were exercised liberally: he led student protests against the Vietnam War, and proudly participated in the Isla Vista riots of 1970. In his post-collegiate years, he was briefly self-employed in an emerging import-export market between California and Mexico, but eventually shifted gears and worked with his father in their gas station in Goleta, CA. In 1978, Kim settled down and happily married. In the early 80s, he worked in the insurance business during the weekdays, and on the weekends he would make cottage cheese pancakes for his kids, throw pottery, write poems, play the bongos in the nude, sing his own (now legendary) songs, and clear brush from his home, necessitating trips to the dump – wherein he’d return home brimming with joy with his newfound treasures. Always a tinkerer and inventor, Kim’s portfolio ranged from an oil spill clean-up system using cork to Braille jewelry. In 1992, the family moved to Hanover, NH, during which time he focused his attention on his jewelrymaking, which included the prestigious honor of having a pair of his earrings placed in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. In the late 90s, Kim, now divorced, further explored his artistic endeavors. Inspired by charcoal rubbings of ancient gravestones in England, he looked around – and down – and was struck by the diversity and beauty of manhole covers.

His keen eye quickly sought to elevate the oft-overlooked into art.

Quickly learning his new art also required an ability to dodge cars, he raised the mundane contours of manhole covers into an aesthetic in-and-of-themselves, developing a rich series of striking rubbings from all across the US, Canada, England, and France.

In 2007, Kim bought a home on Perkins Pond, near Lake Sunapee, NH, where he made many close friends, several who became like family to him. He was grateful for his friendships at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Upper Valley, and was a kind soul who found beauty and happiness in everything: fresh cookies, the laughter of children, the reflection in a window, the stars in the nighttime sky, the mist at sunrise on the pond of his home, the way the kingfisher birds would leave stones on his dock. In his final years, Kim published a book on happiness, in which he reminds us that “happiness is not what happens to us; it’s about what happens in us.”

He is survived by two children, Amber Rouleau (Scott), and Jeff Christiansen; step-children Erin Hovan (Keith), granddaughter Reya Hovan, and Gabe Crane; his brother Kit Christiansen (Nada) and his niece and nephews, Leif, Neila, Brett, Erik, and their children.

The family will be holding a private memorial at a later date.

obituaries Ethel Scar

Ethel Scar, of Casa Dorinda, Montecito passed away on June 20, 2018 in the Casa Dorinda Medical Center. She was 80 years old and had been fighting cancer courageously and gracefully for 25 years.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, she moved when she was nine with her parents, Rose and Philip Schechter, and her younger sister, Myrna, to a small chicken farm in Malaga, NJ. After graduation from Clayton High School in 1955 she moved to Philadelphia and worked for the United Jewish Appeal. She married Howard Scar of Moorestown, NJ in 1958 and they moved to the San Fernando Valley the same year. Her son Michael was born in 1959 and her daughter Susan in 1960. Always eager to learn, Ethel went back to school and earned a Bachelor’s degree at Cal State Northridge.

When her children started school she returned to work as a social worker. For many years, she worked at the Motion Picture and Television Fund. She had been star struck all her life and was thrilled to be able to meet and help actors and film professionals who were in financial need.

Upon retirement Howard and Ethel moved to Montecito in 1994, and to Casa Dorinda in 2010.

They made many good friends at the Newcomers Association and became active in the community.

Ethel took acting lessons and realized a lifelong goal when she appeared in several local productions, including a two-person play at Casa Dorinda. Ethel was a member of Vistas Lifelong Learning, a docent at both Casa del Herrero and the Santa Barbara Courthouse where she conducted tours. She organized and participated in several book clubs and salons, walked daily with the Walkie Talkies, traveled extensively, and loved to dress up for costume parties. She enjoyed playing Shanghai and was always up for a dinner with friends.

Ethel was proud of her childrens’ success in business. She willed herself to live long enough to see her grandson receive a law degree and her granddaughter a master’s degree in education, which they did just weeks before her passing Ethel had a big heart and a beautiful smile. She had that rare combination of kindness, intelligence

Upon retirement in 2007, David returned to his beloved Santa Barbara where he was born, raised and lived all but seven years of his life.

David’s enthusiastic, wholehearted embrace of life could be infectious. Where others griped about obstacles, David saw challenges to gleefully surmount. He was extraordinarily capable, competent, reliable and imaginative.

He built his own airplane, boat and house. He never lost his love of learning.

David is survived by his wife of 41 years, Vickie; his mother, Jerry; and his twin sister, Deborah. He was preceded in death by his father, Bud Harvey.

There will be no services, but a celebration of his life will be held at a future date.

Sylvia J. Karczag Lopez-Negrete 1924-2018

David Harvey, among the most enthusiastic lovers of life one could ever meet, peacefully left this life after suffering a sudden coronary attack during a motorcycle road trip in the mountains with his best friends — one of the many outdoor activities David loved doing.

Raised in a family that loved the outdoors, David, early on, acquired a love of boats and motorcycles— passions that would stay with him throughout his life. He was an extreme enthusiast. If he was interested in something, he was all in. As well as motorcycle trail and road riding, David enjoyed flying, water skiing, fishing, scuba diving, snow skiing, and sport shooting.

David financed his outdoor passions with an outstanding career in the newspaper business that began as a young production worker with the Santa Barbara News-Press where he adroitly adapted and significantly contributed to the many technological and process advances that automated newspaper production.

When the New York Times Company purchased the News-Press in 1985, David’s genius for finding better ways of doing things was soon noticed by the New York Times’ executive team who promoted him up the management ladder, culminating in his becoming the Production Director of the Sarasota Florida Herald-Tribune, the largest newspaper in the Times’ regional group, where David spent the last seven years of his long career, and where he quickly became the goto-production-guy for the entire

Sylvia J. Karczag Lopez-Negrete passed away on May 23, 2018, at age 93, surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren. She was born in San Antonio, Texas, on July 15, 1924, after her Mexican immigrant parents crossed the border at the Rio Grande shortly before her birth. Her family returned to Mexico when she was a few months old where she lived and traveled throughout until school age, returning to San Antonio, with her mother.

She attended the Ursuline Academy in San Antonio, a year of pre-med in Mexico and then moved at age 19 with her mother to Santa Barbara, California, where she met and married Dezso (“Dennis”) Karczag, co-founder of the Direct Relief nonprofit organization. They met while he was managing and supervising the construction of the Presidio shopping Center which included renovating the original Chapel and opening the famous Eaton’s restaurant. She came in his office to sign a lease for a small Mexican import shop in the Presidio called “The Tourist Shop.” The story passed down was that as soon as Sylvia walked into the management office to inquire about renting the shop, Dezso said to himself “I’m going to marry that woman.” They were in love for the 53 years of their marriage, Dezso passing away in May of 2000 at age 96 after a brief illness.

Sylvia, like her husband, was a

beacon of light in the Santa Barbara community and for her children.

She did everything with grace and style. There was nothing she could not accomplish and her heart was generous. She had a love of singing opera, acting and provided healthy meals for her family from the vegetables she grew and the chickens she raised. She was an excellent and adventurous cook. After every trip out of the country she would return with new recipes, whether it be Italian, Brazilian or Korean. She played leading roles in many productions at the Repertory and Lobero Theaters including “12 Angry Women” “The Women” “Silence” and “The Sound of Music” among others.

After raising her five children while volunteering at Direct Relief, singing in the Mount Carmel choir, sewing vestments for the Altar Society and serving on the board of Planned Parenthood and as President of the local United Nations chapter, Sylvia returned to school yearning for a professional career.

She had a natural grace that resulted in an offer from Marymount School in the 60’s, at that time, a girls private Catholic K- 12 school, where her daughter, Anna, attended, to teach Speech and Charm to the middle school girls. She attended SBCC and then transferred to UCSB where she obtained a B.S. in cultural anthropology. She then attended Cal Lutheran and obtained her Masters in Counseling and Guidance. She began accumulating her required hours to obtain her license in Family Therapy under the tutelage of Alicia Dondero. However, she had always been a fierce advocate for the underprivileged and was at ease in extemporaneous public speaking, so it was a natural step for her to be interested in law.

She aspired to become an attorney, took and passed the first year Bar Exam and attended 3 years of Law School at Ventura College of Law before undergoing multiple surgeries for glaucoma that eventually left her blind in one eye and foiled her aspirations.

Undaunted by the setback of her glaucoma, being bi-lingual, she became a lecturer in Multi-Ethnic communication throughout southern California conducting in-service teacher training in multi-ethnic group relations. She also became interested in educating the children and parents of children of migrant Farm workers, teaching them health and nutrition at the same time giving them hope to aspire to higher goals. She traveled to the broccoli fields in Guadalupe, strawberry fields in Santa Maria and Oxnard and as far as Fresno, Yuba City and Hanford, conducting Migrant Education workshops for parents and teachers both in English and INDEPENDENT.COM

Spanish, her native language. She also wrote and obtained grants that enabled her to conduct workshops all over California, sponsored by the Department of Education. Parents, students, teachers and administrators packed into school rooms and auditoriums to hear her message of hope.

After raising five children through the tumultuous 60’s, she became interested in helping those with alcohol and drug addiction.

She was the chief evaluator for the Santa Barbara County Schools Drug Abuse Intervention Project (DAIP).

She was also a member of the Board of the National Council on Alcoholism and then was elected to serve as President of the Board of Directors.

Sylvia’s inspiration to help others came from her father, who was a doctor in Mexico and traveled with his family to treat the poorest of the poor in rural areas with his wife and young daughter, Sylvia, in tow. Later, her inspiration was her husband, Dezso Karczag’s, life work as the co-founder of Direct Relief.

Throughout her life she was consistently a presence and volunteered at Direct Relief serving as President after her husband Dezso, resigned at age 80. Sylvia was the recipient of the Santa Barbara News Press Lifetime Achievement Award in 1991 honoring her accomplishments and devotion to the underprivileged.

She is survived by 4 of her children, Christian, John, Anna and Stephan, eight grandchildren, Justin, Alex, Lauren, Marina, Stefanie, Johnny, Megan and Ryan and 5 great grandchildren, Wilder, Julian, Evelyn, Mason, and Athena. Her 6th greatgrandchild, Olivia, will be born any day. The memory of her generous and indomitable spirit and unfailing love for this community will live on.

Her last years were spent surrounded by the wonderful and loving staff at Casa Dorinda to which the family shall be forever grateful.

While she could, she continued to attend events at Direct Relief and also loved participating in the productions at Casa Dorinda singing in a beautiful opera voice that astounded all. There will be a Memorial celebration of her life at Direct Relief ’s new Headquarters at 2:00 pm Saturday, June 30th where all are welcome. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Direct Relief.

City Priorities

W

hy is the City of Santa Barbara contracting out work that they historically did themselves for a lot less? For instance, why can’t city maintenance workers do the Stearns Wharf handrail jobs themselves? [independent.com/guardrailsplanned] Hands-on maintenance and structural work on the wharf is how workers stay on the pulse of the “living,” ever-changing wharf, as well as remaining visible and aware of what’s going on among the public.

Right now I am living in Georgia, but my heart still resides in Santa Barbara. I grew up there and worked for the City of Santa Barbara’s Waterfront division at Stearns Wharf under Cmdr. Paul Nefstead, David Meyerson, and Judd Conley from 1980-86.

On a hot, sunny day in late June, with President Reagan helping Fess Parker dedicate his resort and the USS Enterprise anchored offshore, I was replacing handrails halfway up the causeway when I noticed smoke and fire coming from the back of the Museum of Natural History’s Sea Center.

Having city employees as the maintenance workers doubles as a security force. They are the heart of Santa Barbara’s Stearns Wharf and needed to maintain a busy, visible, and vigilant presence on deck.

in 2015 and in the more recent effort to hold a special election in the Westside’s District 3 and place a charter amendment on this November’s ballot that will result in future vacancies being filled by election. Jacqueline Inda served as leader of the special election effort, and she was assisted on the District Elections Committee by Sebastian Aldana.

The wisdom and perseverance of retired judge Frank Ochoa were also essential. Other plaintiffs in the original lawsuit against the city that established district elections were Frank Banales and Ben Cheverez. They were represented by legal mastermind Barry Cappello and supported by former city councilmember Leo Martinez.

There is no question that district elections are leading to greater diversity on the Santa Barbara City Council.

Map and Evac Worries

I

f the FEMA map was created based on January 9, 2018, why do all the mountains still have chaparral plant growth on them? [independent.com/FEMAmaprevealed] It seems amazing to me that they did not present this interim flood zone map on the latest photos and LIDAR of the area.

The terrain has changed from all the flooding and boulder movement, and the new water paths created by the flood are influenced by the land stripped of all vegetation from the Thomas Fire. So I wonder exactly how accurate this new FEMA flood map truly is. There should be no second guessing in the future as to precisely which areas are voluntary versus mandatory evacuation zones as we face two to three more years of debris-flow danger.

Plastic Grass

R

egarding “The Evolution of Synthetic Grass” [independent.com/syntheticgrass], synthetic grass has“evolved” to look more realistic, but it is still made of petrochemicals. It was disappointing to see your uncritical article promoting a local company’s product as ecological and “safe” for children.

Synthetic turf is bad for the environment.

This plastic stuff is made from petroleum and shipped from far away, which gives it a huge carbon footprint. It contributes no oxygen to the atmosphere through photosynthesis, and because it usually replaces living plant material (lawn or drought-tolerant ground covers), it often removes a source of oxygen from the earth.

The effect of synthetic turf on human health from off-gassing and the microparticles it sheds remains to be seen. Recent research has shown that microparticles from

polyester clothing are contaminating our water supply and the oceans. Eventually the current generation of synthetic turf will end up in the landfill like worn-out carpet as the product ages out, just as the less realisticlooking synthetic turf of just a few years ago and Astroturf have. What’s “beautiful” about that?

Scooter Hooters and Refuters

I

live in Santa Barbara but work in Venice Beach.

About 10 months ago, the scooter company Bird started dumping electric scooters all over our sidewalks. In Santa Barbara recently, I saw my first Lime scooter, Bird’s smaller, more garishly colored competitor. A guy with no helmet was riding it, ran a red light, and made a left turn from Santa Barbara Street into oncoming traffic on Figueroa.

The companies’ pitch is that they help solve parking and traffic problems, are fun and convenient for quick trips, or are “last mile” devices to get from public parking or transportation to a destination. Riders use a phone app to locate a scooter, activate it, and be billed for the ride ($1 plus 15¢ a minute), then park it in a convenient spot for the next rider. The rules say riders must be over 18, have a driver’s license and a helmet, and follow all traffic rules—no riding on the sidewalk, no riding double, no obstructing sidewalks, driveways, doorways, etc.

In reality, these rules are largely ignored.

I see them dropped on the sidewalk, abandoned in bushes, lying in alleys, blocking service access and doorways. I have been hit while walking, had them run off the sidewalk and into my car. I’ve seen them hit each other. Kids will ride them two or three at a time, scooting while on their cell phone.

With a top speed of about 15 mph, they are too fast and erratic to be safe for bike paths and too slow to be safe in traffic. You can carry very little on them, so they’re mostly used by visitors for very short hops of a block or two. The riders don’t live or work in the area and have very little incentive to be responsible.

These scooters are no solution to any transportation problem. They are a menace and an impediment. As we see in Venice, they are nothing more than a vehicle for a tourist selfie before they abandon them in your driveway.

—Bruce Dobrin, S.B.

A

•••

re electric scooters an urban scourge, or the latest innovation in personal transportation? I’m leaning toward the latter.

“I don’t think you can stop them.” That’s what one friend said as we discussed the phenomenon — I’d never thought about them much at all, least of all as inevitable. Then all of a sudden, there were 100 scooters on State Street.

I came upon one after lunch, unlocked it, and pushed off. Not ready to ride on State Street, I turned onto Arlington Avenue and immediately encountered the Public Works impound crew: “People are riding them on the sidewalk.”

“People ride bicycles on the sidewalk,” I countered.

I set a record for the shortest scooter ride.

Some think scooters are great fun, and I suspect tourists will love them. Scooters aren’t bikes, so, as a boardmember of the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition, why should I care? Some of my bike pals are quite cool toward scooters, but to me they have value, even though you don’t get any exercise.

Here’s my theory: If the city were to embrace the scooter, more people would try them. Then the next time there’s a discussion of bike lanes at City Council, there’ll be more people participating, hundreds more possibly. Why am I so sure?

If you ride a bike or a scooter, you know: The automobile, which is operated in an increasingly distracted manner, is a threat to your ability to get home safely.We need more bike lanes, like the new one on Cota Street.

The more people who ride scooters, the fewer car trips there will be, especially in the downtown core along State Street. That means less congestion, less pollution, and more parking spaces for those who do drive.

Let’s keep an open mind. Scooters represent a step toward the Santa Barbara of the future, where people get around without having to own an automobile.

Ann (Annie Trout) Garcelon 02/23/43-06/05/18

We have lost a witty, vivacious and talented writer and member of our Santa Barbara community in Ann “Annie” Garcelon, who passed away on June 5, 2018, at the age of 75. The Boston native, who grew up in Memphis, was a graduate of The Hutchinson School in Memphis and Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. She stumbled into her career in journalism at the Pompano Beach (FL) Sun-Sentinel.

With almost no experience, she dazzled in her interview and eclipsed many other writers with long resumes for the position of features writer.

In 1966 she moved to New York City and joined the Associated Press, becoming a feature writer in the Living Today department.

There she first worked with Lynn Sherr producing educational film strips. “Her soothing Tennessee accent belied a piercing curiosity and wicked humor,” Sherr recalls.

In 1970, the “Mod Squad” was INDEPENDENT.COM

launched and Annie was one of six women AP reporters, covering the counter culture. She became the group’s fashion reporter, a freespirited southerner who tracked everything from love beads to midi-skirts, and wore them all.

Other interviews included a 1973 piece about the Alice Cooper band, then making a comeback tour. She described Alice as “more specter than superstar in Ming the Merciless makeup on pale skin, experiencing a mock decapitation after singing ‘I love the Dead’.”

She also interviewed chess wizard Bobby Fischer in September 1971, before his record-shattering victory over Boris Spassky during the height of the Cold War. After challenging Fischer to a game, Annie described the encounter.

“Bobby Fischer slams his chessmen across a plastic fold-up board with the intensity of a boxer training on the heavy bag.”

Annie left the AP in the early 1970s and worked as an editor at The New York Times, then Variety magazine in Los Angeles. She moved to L.A. in the 1980s when she decided to try her hand at screenwriting, and was accepted into the American Film Institute graduate program. With best friend and fellow ‘Mod Squad’ writer Jurate Kazickas, she wrote a script “Will You Marry Me?” that grabbed the attention of agents at renowned Creative Arts Agency.

In the early 2000s, she visited Santa Barbara. It was love at first sight. The town became her home and the base for her freelance writing. As a valued member of the Christian Science church, she brought intelligence, enthusiasm, and warmth to local church activities and events. She was also a treasured member of Mesa Writers, where the wit in her short personal essays brought smiles, if not outright guffaws. Adding to her roster of skills, she also studied songwriting with Nicola Gordon. One of her favorite songs, based on her personal experience, was “No One Looks Good on a Walker”.

Her fellow writers in the Friday Writers’ Group appreciated her enthusiastic encouragement and support for our efforts. Her effervescence and creativity will truly be missed by friends and colleagues.

A memorial is planned sometime in the coming months. If you want to be notified of the details, please email: susanmats@aol.com with your contact information.

Donations in her name can be made to Girls Inc. of Carpinteria and New Beginnings in Santa Barbara for homeless veterans.

BURGER WEEK! Our Second Annual Celebration of America’s Favorite Food

LEGEND

ast year, the Santa Barbara Independent launched our region’s first-ever Burger Week, with a dozen restaurants across the region offering their best patties for just $6. This year, we’re at it again, and although inflation jumped that price up to $7, it’s still a screaming deal for a mouthful of deliciousness.

To coincide with such an affair, we’ve assembled a wide-ranging menu of hamburger tales, from McDonald’s Santa Ynez Valley connections to finding the best meat-free options in town. We’d suggest pairing our stories with a burger of your own at one of this year’s “Patty Partners.” See our Burger Week special section starting after page 42 and independent.com/burgerweek for a complete list.

MEAT-FREE PATTY POWER Plant-Based Burgers to Find

by Indy Staff s much as we love a good, red-meat-stacked hamburger, we’re

not immune to the understanding that beef isn’t the healthiest choice for everyday consumption, whether we’re talking arteries or the environment. But until recently, veggie burgers pretty much sucked, being all grainy and stale and cracker-like, unable to char appropriately, bad at holding heat, texturally just wrong.

And then came the new wave of meat-free, plant-based burgers, namely the Impossible Burger, the Beyond Burger, and the Hungry Planet Burger. So we sent ourselves out into the Santa Barbara restaurant scene to sample all three from various establishments, and this is what we found.

Impossible Burger @ Finney’s

The Impossible Burger is “for meat eaters who want to eat an alternate protein,” said Eric BosRau, executive chef at Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen, of the plant-based patty that’s causing a stir among discerning diners. The recently opened lower State Street restaurant is one of only two in the area that currently offers the Impossible Burger — Borrello’s Pizza & Pastaria on Santa Claus Lane in Carpinteria is the other — although the “ground round” sandwich has been popping up on menus across the country since it became available in 2014.

I’m not a vegetarian, but I am a persnickety meat eater, consuming mostly fowl. And while I love the salty goodness of a hamburger, if I see pink or find gristle, my experience is ruined. So I’m the sort of omnivore to whom the Impossible Burger is geared.

The Spot is one of those iconic Southern California, just-fell-out-of-bed, shortsand-sandals, beach-shack burger joints that, for 60 glorious years now, has defied the march of time. Whether The Spot’s burgers are as good today as they were in 1958 — when Cecil and Garnet Hendrickson converted a six-stool joint named Sheri’s that then catered to workers at the lemon packing plant across Linden Avenue — is frequently the subject of considered debate among the BEACHSIDE BITES: Marissa Putnam (left) and Kellie Polak enjoy classic cheeseburgers and masses in line. milkshakes on a recent afternoon.

Al punto translates to “to the point,” but it also describes the point between medium and medium-well, a popular meat temperature among Spaniards. With Spain versus Iran in the World Cup on the screen, those were the words that came to mind when seeing Lucky’s “range free” vegetarian burger. It was prepared “al punto,” the patty a darker brown on the outside with a hint of the familiar meaty pink in the center.

But more than that, the burger is to the point.

Served on a soft D’Angelo roll with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and lots of pickles, this burger doesn’t mess around. There are no special sauces or tricks trying to make the burger more than it is. “It’s served like all our other burgers,” said Executive Chef Leonard Schwartz.

The burger was introduced about a year ago after many requests for a vegetarian option, said Schwartz, who’d been searching for such a patty when a Montecito resident brought in a Hungry Planet Burger to taste. “I was impressed,” he said.

The burger is proving more popular than he expected, and while Schwartz can tell in a heartbeat that it’s not meat, some customers don’t have as easy a time telling it apart. “There was one customer who was almost kind of angry with me,” said Bruno, a server at Lucky’s.

“She really thought it was meat.”

Spain won the match against Iran with a score of 1-0. Lucky’s also scores a goal with its to-the-point, range-free vegetarian burger.

Thanks to this meat-free burger search, I’ve found a fast-food chain to admire: Luna Grill. (In-N-Out doesn’t count.) Founded in 2004, the Greek-Persian fast-casual concept was solely a stand-alone restaurant in San Diego for 10 years but has expanded across Southern California and into Texas since 2014, now sporting more than 40 locations.

meat burger but without so much environmental impact. The newfangled burger’s trick is an ingredient called heme, which the Impossible people say is “the basic building block of life on Earth, including plants, but is uniquely abundant in animal muscles’ meat.” Plant heme mimics the texture, density, and other properties of muscle heme, but there’s also leghemoglobin, a legume-based protein that, like myoglobin in animals, carries oxygen throughout the living organism.

When Chef BosRau brought the freshly cooked, steaming-hot Impossible Burger to our table, it could have fooled me. It looked like a regular burger, even when cut in half. The clincher was that taste — honestly, I couldn’t tell it wasn’t a meat burger. The texture held up with each bite, the cheese and condiments proving lovely complements.

The only difference I could discern was that the Impossible Burger isn’t as heavy or greasy as a beef burger. In the end, the Impossible Burger experience, for me, was equally as satisfying palate-wise as eating a meat patty, and much more pleasing to my eco-conscience.

Right now, the Impossible Burger is Finney’s most popular offering, according to BosRau. Perhaps hard-core meat eaters will find nuanced dissimilarities that I did not, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

THE SLIDER’S SLIPPERY PAST New Burger Trend Is Old-School

ins

ig or

by Nick Welsh

T

he reemergence of the humble slider

as a respected member of the burger family suggests the human race might have finally discovered the brake pedal in its pell-mell dash to drive off the cliff. The modestly sized slider — do we really need to eat a whole half a cow in one sitting? — marks a necessary cul-tural antidote to the massively oversized and overwrought mega-burgers popularized by the cholesterol lobby and gluttony industry.

Adherents and high priests of the gastro-foodie faith are to be excused for believing they “discovered” the slider, but in fact, the slider and the hamburger were virtually indistin indistinguishable for decades. The supersized dimorphism that characterized the evolution of the burger didn’t really start until the late 1970s.

By the ’90s, we were all eating the burger equivalent of the SUV. By contrast, when I was a kid growing up outside of Washington, D.C., Sunday-night dinner was a big bag of what I would learn later were sliders, courtesy of Little Tavern, a localized knockoff of White Castle, the chain credited with “inventing” the slider in 1921.

They were skinny little patties topped with grilled freeze-dried onions and topped generously with sliced pickles and slathered in ketchup. We frequently wondered whether we were eating a cow or a horse, but such

questions never slowed us down. The burgers were quick, fast, cheap, and good enough to go back for seconds. No cooking was required; no dishes needed doing.

In recent years, the slider started creeping back into the equation. I like to credit happy-hour dining for the develop development, but I can’t swear I’m right.

Most happy-hour food is insufficient to qualify as real eating, let alone to offer the necessary ballast to accommodate the quantity of alcohol consumed. In this context, the slider provides real heft without becoming full-on “food.”

As gastropubs and tapas bars increasingly dominate the ecosystem of barbased grazing, greater attention has necessarily been paid to the quality of meat. It’s no accident that Alcazar on the Mesa—part tapas bar, part gastropub, part happy hour —has some of the best sliders in town, both lamb and beef.

This trend has been accentuated further by the less-is-more minimalism that defines the slider aesthetic. As a rule, sliders are not gussied up with sideshow flourishes and lots of condiments. Cheese, for example, is not really an option for any self-respecting slider.

Like the plain doughnut, a slider either speaks for itself or it doesn’t. All of this brings us to where we are today: the golden age of the slider. Enjoy. n

not in either camp.” She’s also getting hit with questions about the recent Michael Keaton–starring film The Founder. “No, it’s not based on my book,” she said, “and no, it’s not accurate.”

How fascinating, and fitting, that this highly personal legacy of philanthropy has roots in Santa Barbara, where nonprofits outnumber fast-food franchises and where people who have made it elsewhere often come to begin another chapter, one more about giving than receiving. Here’s a fun fact about recent McDonPOWER PAIR: Together, Ray and Joan Kroc ald’s history: In 2004, were a formidable presence, and their Kroc just one month after Foundation archives are housed at UCSB. Morgan Spurlock’s documentary Super Size Me picked up the directing award at the Sundance Film Festival, McDonald’s abandoned the ordering category known as “supersize.” Two months later, in May, they introduced, for a short time, the “Go Active!” adult Happy Meal, a salad in a box that came with a pedometer and a pamphlet offering exercise advice. Although the company has always denied that it was in any way influenced by the Spurlock film, there’s no question that the “adult Happy Meal” would have been a welcome development in Happy Canyon.

Barbara’s Luna Grill opened at Five Points last September and now serves a steady stream, especially at lunchtime, in a sleekly styled, indoor-outdoor space.

They started serving the Beyond Burger about three months ago, said manager Jessica Jimenez, who explained, “It’s based on chickpeas, and the coloring is beet juice.” Indeed, upon arrival, it looked bloody in a mediumrare style, and the texture was incredibly familiar, as was the moist density.

It’s served with a quite tangy sauce and feta cheese, among the usual burger accoutrements, and made for a very tasty meal, alongside feta-topped potato chips and a lemon chicken soup. I can’t quite say that I’d be tricked into thinking it was beef, but for a healthy, protein-rich, un-fatty option, I’ll certainly return.

FAKE IS GREAT: Natural Café founder Kelly Brown readies for a bite into his Hungry Planet Burger.

hungry Planet Burger @ Natural Café

This year is the 25-year anniversary of the Natural Café, founded on State Street in May 1993 and now a small chain of seven restaurants (once there were 13, and two more are coming soon). Founder Kelly Brown still runs the show and was talking kitchen politics when I arrived at the Hitchcock Way location to try out his latest menu offering: the Hungry Planet burger, whose parent company is partially based in Santa Barbara.

After Brown sampled all three options on the market, he began selling the Hungry Planet version as a Friday special in January. It became a menu regular in May and is now the top-selling sandwich, and customers can order it pretty much any way they like.“Seventy percent of our orders have modifications,” said Brown proudly. That kind of demanding service makes me cringe a little, though it’s a reason why my wife and other picky-ish eaters find so much solace in the Natural Café.

I ordered as the pros suggested, with vegan cheese, grilled onions, and avocado, and I was quickly impressed. Like many beef burgers, the plantbased burger is a vehicle for its toppings, yet unlike historic veggie burgers, it doesn’t get in the way. It’s got a “good chew,” said Brown, and it maintains temperature through the eating experience. The flavor is slightly salty, like meat, but otherwise rather innocuous, and it’s packed with 21 percent of your daily fiber needs in just four ounces. The first ingredient is water and the second is soy protein powder.

“This is great,” said my wife as she bit into hers, and that’s all the evidence I needed.

Entertainment patio, all my hesitation was immediately washed away by the groovy sounds of DJ Persian House Cat and Last Resort Forever joining forces behind a sleek, custom-built booth by area carpenter Nordic Woodcraft.

Crisp beverages were served by Captain Fatty’s and Welcome Coffee Cart with tasty bites from Satellite and Bibi Ji. People of all ages took to the dance floor, and friends struck poses behind a photo booth. I still wasn’t sure what we were celebrating, but it didn’t matter.

Elia and Picciuto met at The French Press four years ago, and as their relationship and inspirations evolved, they were able to combine Elia’s dedication to deejaying and Picciuto’s uncanny ability to connect people into Party Proper. “In January we launched Party Proper, in the oddest of times, right in the middle of the mudslides,” she explained. “The fires and mudslides really brought home the importance of fully showing up for one another and of the power of healing.” Picciuto described this as one their main motivations: “To bring people together in uplifting, embracing spaces — to dance, to smile, to feel free … this is healing; this is community.”

Speaking with Elia about his goals as a deejay, it’s clear it’s more than a hobby. Referencing composer Richard Wagner’s aesthetic philosophy of Gesamtkunstwerk,“total work of art” or “universal artwork,” Elia explained his dedication to “read rooms and read places and fill them in totality with sound and art.”

To get in on this artistic synthesis, check out Party Proper’s next event on Wednesday, July 4, 4-8 p.m., on The Canary Rooftop (31 W. Carrillo St.).

e’re telling stories with sound,” Kayla Picciuto, cofounder of Party Proper, the new luxury deejay and sound service company specializing in weddings, parties, and corporate events, told me with a smile over a glass of wine at Satellite. Picciuto’s partner in love and business, Andrew Elia (aka DJ Persian House Cat), spun the perfect funk soundtrack in the background.

“Through music we see ourselves as deeply connected to a bigger story, one of people coming together in celebration, in the spirit of togetherness,” Picciuto said. “Where there’s proper sound, magic happens.” Fortunately for Santa Barbarans, it’s a nonexclusive kind of magic, as the two masterminds of fun are now holding free pop-up events around town.

I attended their first event on a Tuesday night, entirely unsure of what to expect. Walking into Sama Sama’s back 36

Mender’s

Central Coast CBDs

W

hile Santa Barbara and other California municipalities figure out how to regulate the THC side of the recreational cannabis business, the nationwide market for products infused with CBD — or cannabidiol, a cannabinoid that science is showing to be beneficial in myriad ways, without getting you high — is growing like crazy. There are teas, treats, and vapor cartridges loaded with CBD, but one of the strongest segments is skincare, as the oils infuse well into lotions, salves, and so forth.

Mender is one Central Coast company exploring that realm. It was recently launched in San Luis Obispo by April Worley, a former wine branding expert who is using what she learned in that industry to raise the profile of cannabis.

How are your products made? We design and formulate our products in San Luis Obispo County using full-spectrum, non-GMO CBD oil derived from hemp that we purchase from a trusted American manufacturer who provides third-party potency and toxicology testing. In our oil-based products, we source olive oil from an organic farmer in the Templeton Gap AVA [American Viticultural Area], and the beef tallow we use in our body butter comes from a cattle farmer in the Midwest. We use only highquality organic essential oils. We use these products on ourselves and families — so we literally have skin in the game.

Tell me about a couple of them. Two of our favorites are the serum and the body butter. The serum is designed to leverage CBD’s ability to promote cellular regeneration to reverse skin damage from sun. But my husband loves it because it makes an incredible aftershave and beard balm.

Our body butter is in a whipped tallow base. We use tallow because there is not a single moisturizer on Earth that our skin can fully utilize like tallow due to its symbiotic chemical structure. I use it on my son’s eczema [and] before spending time in the ocean, and I even use it as my night cream on my face. Plus, I love the “whole animal” concept.

What products can these replace? CBD products offer us an incredible alternative to the chemical-packed products we slather all over our largest organ every day of our lives. We have had great results using our pain salve for reducing inflamed muscles after a workout, surgery, or injury, which eliminates or reduces the need for taking over-the-counter painkillers that can be hard on your liver. Our deodorant uses CBD’s antiviral qualities to eliminate odor naturally without artificial colors or aluminum. I also have a friend who says our headache roller can reduce the pain enough to function normally and sleep without taking the medication that makes — Matt Kettmann her feel awful.

LET THEIR CUP RUNNETH OVER This American Patriot Is Happy to See Other Countries Win

T

he World Cup is the greatest sporting event in the world, a grueling, month-long spectacle that teases and torments and titillates players and fans alike. Every four years, this tournament commands global attention like nothing else. Football—“soccer” if you must—is a game of “we,” as in “We’re playing today” or “We’re through the group stage.” Football brings out our tribal passions, our fears, our hopes, and our longing; it makes grown-ups act like children and bestows on children memories they will talk about for decades.

Football got under my skin years ago and metastasized like a virulent cancer. Now I’m smitten, forever in thrall to this beautiful game played all over the world. I love America, despite its flaws and blemishes and contradictions, but I’m glad America doesn’t dominate world football as it does other sports. The U.S. has plenty of opportunities to strut on the global stage, to pump out its chest and throw its weight around. I find it refreshing that the U.S. is only a bit player where football (the real kind) is concerned. Let Peru and Egypt and Tunisia enjoy a moment in the limelight.

The athletic talent on display during the World Cup is astounding. Gape at the speed and control of individual players such as Cristiano Ronaldo; the now-you-see-him, nowyou-don’t magic of Lionel Messi; the balance and agility of Neymar; or the brute strength of Romelu Lukaku. Football’s elite teams, such as Germany, Spain, Brazil, Belgium, and France, boast squads loaded with talented players, but even these Lionel Messi giants cannot afford to take lesser nations lightly.

This is the World Cup; anything can happen. As the pundits always say, football is a game of fine margins, inches, seconds; one lapse of concentration can spell the difference between success or failure, exaltation or despair.

Which teams do I pull for? Belgium is first because my favorite player, Eden Hazard, who plays his club football for my beloved Chelsea, is a Belgian; France because of the wonderful midfielder, N’Golo Kanté, who is also a Chelsea man; and, finally, for sentimental reasons, Argentina, because I’d love to see Messi — who has tasted so much success with his club team, Barcelona—shrug the international monkey off his back and lift the most coveted trophy of them all. n For football fans, nirvana arrives every four years.

hat’s the best thing to serve to a beachside paradise with

summer just around the corner? Spicy Chinese soup, of course.

With the grand opening of 212° Hotpot, Isla Vista feels more and more like the Asian hubs of San Jose and Rowland Heights, bringing trendy Taiwanese food to the town’s otherwise lackluster gourmet scene.

Before I.V.’s residents left for the summer, lines were out the door at the latest restaurant addition at 6533 Trigo Road, which was formerly home to Kol’s Café and Crushcakes Café. Inside at the counter, you put your name, party size, and phone number down before you head outside to wait. Once called, it’s another wait inside to order at the same counter, and then you hunt for an empty table.

On the menu are individual hot pots, so named for the gas stoves or charcoal flames underneath each bowl of soup as it’s brought out to the table.

The broth — which can be customized to four levels of spice between non-spicy and Isla Vista Now Home flaming hot — bubbles with to the Hottest meat, dumplings, mushrooms, mung-bean-based vermicelli Restaurant in Town noodles, peanuts, tofu, corn

BY GWENDOLYN WU on the cob, leafy greens, or seafood, depending on which of the 11 hot pots you order. A meal will run you anywhere between $13.99 and $17.99, depending on the size and type ordered.

You eat it by ladling out the boiling broth, meat, and vegetables into the provided empty bowl, giving it enough time to cool in a smaller vessel. (Spoiler alert: No amount of time is enough to keep it from burning your tongue.)

Buyer beware: Come when you’re hungry. These pots look like your usual portions, but upon first slurp, you’ll realize that you’ve gotten yourself into something you can’t possibly finish.

All hot pots come with a bowl of noodles or rice.

The curry hot pot is full of delicious, authentic Chinese curry flavor, while the beef hot pot comes loaded with fish balls and veggies. All the accoutrements are excellent at absorbing the flavorful broth, which begins in a giant stockpot in 212° Hotpot’s kitchen. For vegetarians, there is the healthy veggies hot pot, which comes in two flavors.

Their meat-based broth, when kicked up a few spice notches, is plenty spicy. Those unsatisfied with the tears-in-your-eyes level of spice that the hottest level can bring, though, are welcome to the chili oil and chili garlic paste sitting on each table.

If it gets too spicy, rest assured that the only other things on the menu—which is entirely liquid—are soft drinks and imported Chinese teas, including Jia Duo Bao, a sweet herbal tea in a golden can. Drinks come with their lunch offerings.

There are still a couple of kinks to iron out before 212° Hotpot is the best it can possibly be. For one, the service (as is the case with most new places overwhelmed by a rush of customers) is lackluster. With wait times exceeding an hour over the last month, management has seemed scattered and in need of more waitstaff. The summer exodus of UCSB and SBCC students from I.V., though, means that there will be far fewer people in line and more staff to tend to your soupy needs.

Its staff also hasn’t figured out an effective way to manage the wait. Despite requiring a phone number, the only people who get seated are the ones who hang around the front. Texts or calls have yet to be seen.

Stick around, though — it’s clear that 212° Hotpot isn’t going anywhere, and you shouldn’t go anywhere but for a soup for the soul.

COAST VILLAGE CUISINE: Construction is underway at Bettina, opening this September next to Vons in Montecito.

R

eader Peter passed the word that Bettina is

coming to the Montecito Country Mart in the space occupied decades ago by a restaurant named Fred C. Dobbs. Bettina will be the brick-and-mortar location for the mobile pizza oven service Autostrada Wood Fired Pizzeria.

“Rachel Greenspan and Brendan Smith are on a mission to bring the finest pizza and naturally leavened breads to Santa Barbara County,” says their website. “They spend their days nerding out at farmers markets and hand-pulling mozzarella cheese. Although they’re obsessed with ingredients, you don’t need to know the difference between pecorino and parmesan to enjoy Autostrada’s food — they’re devoted to honest, everyday cooking that is approachable and easy to love.”

Bettina hopes to open this September.

For updates, sign up for the newsletter at autostradapizza.com.

SPYGLASS BISTRO RENAMED: Reader Cris sent me

Embarcadero del Norte after four months in business, and is being replaced by California Taco, which is not related to the CalTaco on Hollister. And while the popular Rincon Brewery in Carpinteria continues to be open for business as usual, their second location, which opened in July 2017 at 6583 Pardall Road in Isla Vista (replacing former longtime tenant Giovanni’s Pizza) has closed.

CHICKEN IN A BARREL UPDATE: After reader Bill

inquired about the status of Chicken in a Barrel BBQ at 5711 Calle Real in Goleta (formerly Petrini’s), I stopped by and saw that the Chicken in a Barrel sign is indeed gone but also saw that there were construction workers inside installing the air ducts. They told me that Chicken in a Barrel is still planning to move into that spot. Reader Eureka says that there are job postings on Craigslist looking for employees for the “Chicken in a Barrel Calle Real location.”

an update for Spyglass Bistro and Bar on the fourth floor of the Hilton Garden Inn at 6878 Hollister Avenue in Goleta. “Sitting here in Subway and noticed the ‘Spyglass’ in Spyglass Bistro and Bar is covered up on the Hilton,” writes Cris.

“According to Yelp, they renamed themselves The Rooftop Bistro and Bar.”

BRICKLAYER COMING DOWNTOWN: Reader “Insure It” tells me that an ABC permit application has been filed by Taylor Melonuk of Bricklayer LLC to open a beer/wine/eating place at 18 East Cota Street, the former home of 18 East, Globe, The Pan, Café Luck, and Mousse Odile. Reader Lily says that Melonuk was the sous chef at Epiphany and the executive sous chef at The Lark.

ISLA VISTA CHANGES: Coinciding with the end of the school year, there’s a slew of Isla Vista food news. An ABC permit application has been filed by Cheng An of V Series Inc. to open a beer/wine/eating place at 901 Embarcadero del Mar in Isla Vista, the former home of Sorriso Italiano, which closed last month. Word on the street is that it will serve Mongolian BBQ. Reader Sarah R. also tells me that the Grilled Cheese Truck—which wasn’t a truck —closed at 956

805 DELI UPDATE: The 805 Deli at 135 East Carrillo Street closed in early January of this year with a sign that said they would reopen February 1, but that didn’t happen. Reader Mike noticed a new sign, announcing The 805 Hazy and Deli. Reader Jose M. reports, “805 Deli restarted its renovation last week, first time since January. It will now be called 805 Hazy and Deli. However, as of today, 06/12/18, there was a big red city notice on the door telling them to stop all work.”

Walker Brewing Co. has been brewing Double Barrel Ale (DBA) for 22 years now.

Take that, 805, not to mention Union Jack IPA and the Luponic Distortion IPA series.

But DBA is akin to Chuck Cunningham, Richie’s older brother on Happy Days — only instead of being written off the show after the first season, Chuck, er, DBA, has been enjoying its off-screen time in its own backyard: Central California.

In late May, brewery founders and brothers-in-law Adam from left: Adam Firestone, Frank Ostini, Miguel Ibarra, and David Walker Firestone and David Walker hoisted pints of the unfiltered version of DBA (ostensibly livelier and more not a beer for these times.

OPERA’S CAMPUS TAKEOVER and rancorous baritone.

Braiding two myths into a single story, the 30-min-ute opera imagines that Proserpina, the lover of Pluto and queen of the underworld, is “the other Euridice,” as in the lover of Orpheus, whose music famously allowed him to lead souls back to life. In this ingenious adaptation, Pluto sits alone in the dark, complaining of the infidelity of his lover and the treachery of the outside world in baroque cantata form, accompanied by strings and theorbo, while offstage a saxophone wails in an evocation of Orpheus and Euridice living it up topside. It’s a clever reference to Monteverdi’s Baroque opera L’Orfeo, and pits the baroque underworld against an unseen, but very 20th century, sax.

All of this leads to everyone taking a deep breath, and then entering Hahn Hall for Trouble in Tahiti, Bernstein’s exhilarating dissection of suburban ennui. The Los Angeles Opera’s music director, James Conlon, will conduct Figaro, with Darrah directing, in August. Start listening now to these talented young singers, and you will perhaps enjoy what promises to be a revelatory production of the Mozart classic even more.

EASTER TEETH SAY FAREWELL (FOR NOW) This summer, Goleta’s Easter Teeth will go out with a bang before going on an indefinite hiatus. The experimental punk duo of brothers Tim and Joshua Eymann will play their last shows for the next while and then focus on their families and solo efforts.

Fans can catch a Whiskey Richards farewell show with Pookie and Gunpowder Empires on June 29. Tim (guitarist) discussed nearly a decade of music.

Looking back, what are you most proud of?

We’re very proud to say that we’ve made friends all across the country and even overseas. That the stupid music we write has allowed us to do that — it blows our minds. Sure, we like what we write and think it’s original and all that, but it’s more important for us to connect with people than fuss over the music.

What was one of your memorable shows?

Opening for Peelander-Z …. We opened for them at the Beauty Bar in Vegas …. The best part of the night was when they pulled me up onstage during their set to play guitar. Imagine me fumbling around on Yellow’s Flying V while they are in the crowd playing human lawn bowling. Surreal.

What’s a new quality or qualities you saw in one another as brothers that maybe you didn’t see before? Graying, thinning hair? I can

ANIMAL MAGNETISM IN OJAI Hailing from Montana, wildlife artist Ivanie Finsvik had the unique opportunity to paint the critters that roamed right outside her studio window. “I often watched elk jumping the barbed wire fence,” Finsvik describes on her website. “Bears, mountain lions, wild turkeys, and an occasional passing badger or skunk modeled for me.” In addition to the free-roaming animals Finsvik has captured on canvases, domestic critters such as sheep, dogs, and horses are also part of her repertoire. And, since her move to Santa Barbara in 2013, the painter has added coastal dwellers such as sea lions and sea otters to her catalog. Check out Finsvik’s ode to nature, titled Animal Magnetism, at the Ojai Arts Center (113 S. Montgomery St., Ojai). The show runs until July 5. See ivaniefinsvik.com.

o anyone who has ever sat in the audience at a traditional opera performance and wondered, “What if this were ‘choose your own adventure’?” or even just, “What if I could get up and walk around?,” there’s good news — your wishes have been granted. On Saturday, June 30, at 2 p.m., and again on Monday, July 2, at 7 p.m., the Music Academy of the West will present an innovative program of scenes and short operas, half of which will take place outdoors in various locations on the Miraflores campus. As devised by direcDirector James Darrah tor James Darrah, the first portion of the program, titled “Opera Takeover,” will consist of six ond production of Mazzoli’s work, Proving extraordinary selections, all from 20th- and Up, a portion of which will be included in 21st-century works and only one of which, this MAW program.

only speak for myself and what I’ve seen in Josh. He’s proven that he really doesn’t give a Flying V what people think. He sticks to what he believes and who he is, no matter what. It’s hard for a lot of people to do that in the punk scene, but he makes it look easy.

SUMMER NOCTURNE

outinely slandered as the airhead middle child between the radical 1960s and the greedy 1980s, the 1970s were a lot more than just a smiley face. In Summer Nocturne: Works on Paper from the 1970s, a group exhibit on view now through September 23 at the Santa Barbara Museum

by Charles Donelan of Art (SBMA), the ’70s show up in all their complex glory, combining celebration with criticism and offering a lot to consider for the present moment. Fittingly for a time that mostly went its own way, curator Julie Joyce has imposed few rules. The 10 artists represented — Robert Beauchamp, Huguette Caland, Richard Dunlap, Dane Goodman, Luchita Hurtado, Tom Marioni, Marie Schoeff, Michelle Stuart, Joan Tanner, and John M. White — were all born outside of California, yet all spent at least some time living here. Several have settled permanently on the Central Coast, and some have been shown before at the museum, while others are making their SBMA debut.

The title for the show is taken from Dunlap’s 1977 construction “Summer Nocturne,” a giant black sun mandala, eight feet in diameter, that was created with tarpaper on the floor of the artist’s studio in Santa Barbara approximately 40 years ago. It’s an intensely evocative work that harnesses the macho energy of UCSB alum Richard Serra’s grease crayon “process” drawings to an image that’s emblematic of sunny Santa Barbara TUMBLERS: “Mustafa Acrobate” by Huguette Caland by negation. Nearby, negative space reappears in striking fashion through a large drawing on yellow pole. Unexpected connections abound, like the one between paper that Marioni produced in the Santa Barbara Museum Stuart’s “#5 Moray Hill, NY” (1973) and Schoeff’s drawings of New York City’s Murray Street from 1979. The exquisite of Art as part of a live performance in 1979.

For “The Results of a Theatrical Action to Define Non- textures that Stuart explores through employing her frottage theatrical Principles,” the artist sat on a chair in bright light and technique on bare ground reverberate both with the way that used vigorous, rhythmic arm gestures to shade the area outside Schoeff draws attention to the physical interaction of paper of his shadow with a large pencil. What’s left is a large rectangle and pigment in her drawings and with the strokes that define of yellow paper hanging loose to the floor within which the Marioni’s absence in his aforementioned work, which hangs figure of a seated man appears, his shape defined by the collec- on a nearby wall. tion of strokes that surround the space his shadow once occuCaland, Hurtado, and Beauchamp all represent new attipied. For Marioni, the founder of San Francisco’s Museum of tudes toward portraiture and the body. For Hurtado, that Conceptual Art, these ’70s performances manifested the collective sense of Pacific Rim Zen that he felt bound the artists and poets of the Bay Area together. The show’s physical organization puts Marioni’s work in dialogue with Dunlap’s in a great conversation about the West Coast, art history, Northern and Southern California, and the influence of East Asia.

White, a similarly performance-oriented artist with connections to both San Francisco and greater Los Angeles, contributes “Golf Course Notations,” a series of drawings completed between 1975 and 1979 that depict various aspects of White’s mental process as he plays golf. An Otis graduate who participated in Yvonne Rainer’s experimental dance pieces in Los SUMMER CENTERED: Two works by Luchita Hurtado flank Richard Dunlap’s “Summer Nocturne.”

Angeles in 1969, White began his “notations” drawings in order to track the interactions of clients in a means nude self-portraits drawn from eccentric points of group therapy session he was running. These works, with their view, such as looking straight down. These mesmerizing semi-legible inscriptions and loose, airy construction, suggest images seemingly belong as much to the aesthetic of video and photography as to any existing tradition of draftsmanship. that golf is a metaphysical, as well as a physical, challenge.

Tanner’s “9 Spaces by 10” (1976) displays a related interest in mapping and hybridity, blending wire, beads, and insect Summer Nocturne: Works on Paper from the wings in a grid to dazzling, subversive effect.

Beauchamp and Caland conjure social reality through distortions of the figure, successfully predicting a whole school of later work that includes genre-smashing artists like Grayson Perry, Cecily Brown, and Dasha Shishkin.

For curator Joyce, the impulse for the show came in part through a coincidence. After researching all the important contemporary art exhibitions staged by the museum for a recent anniversary volume of SBMA history, she knew that Dunlap had done a major solo installation and performance piece at the museum in the 1970s. “Summer Nocturne,” however, was stored in a part of the vault that was completely inaccessible until work began on the museum’s renovation. One day, as items were being removed from the newly accessible vault area, Joyce saw this giant work go by in its storage container. Putting it on display this summer embodies a strategy that the museum has been employing for some time in regard to living area artists. As Joyce put it, “Artists who happen to be local, if and when we show them, we try to provide a context that puts them on the same stage as artists from elsewhere.”

Goodman, for example, came to live in Santa Barbara from Sacramento by way of New York City, and created “Sunday Papers” in dialogue with the hard edges and straight lines of minimalism.

Critical of the uniformity he sensed in otherwise inspiring figures such as Josef Albers and Ad Reinhardt, Goodman made his series of squares appear regular at a distance, only to reveal nuance and complexity in the layering of different colors and the attention lavished on the blurs and blends occurring at the shapes’ edges upon closer inspection.

Schoeff, who was living in downtown New York in the late 1970s, and coincidentally meeting and marrying Goodman at that time, sees the grease pencil drawings by which she is represented in the show in relation to photography. “Like a souvenir,” said Schoeff, “it’s the attempt to do something impossible, to freeze a moment.” For all these artists, the challenge of the period, regardless of one’s approach, was to find a subject matter and a way of handling it that was purely one’s own.

One unspoken aspect of the exhibition’s appeal is that it represents a time when the artists involved were first discovering the range of possibilities available to them in the newly expanded field of artistic expression. The museum’s education program has set out to recapture this excitement in two ways. First, they have invited the Grammy-winning composer and jazz musician Ted Nash to take up residence in July and to conduct a pair of workshops, one for musicians that will lead to a public concert on July 7, and another for teens to explore multimedia collaborations that will result in a performance on July 12. And then, on Thursday, August 16, critic and musician Josef Woodard will moderate a panel discussion featuring Richard Dunlap and Joan Tanner talking about “The Santa Barbara Art Scene in the ’70s” at 5:30 p.m. in the museum’s Mary Craig Auditorium. By at once looking forward and looking back, Summer Nocturne explores the ongoing creative energy of Santa Barbara in the 1970s. n

CAN’T WAIT: Nu Shooz (pictured) will be joined by Taylor Dayne, Stevie B, The Jets, Lisa Lisa, Exposé, and Debbie Deb at the S.B. Bowl next Saturday, July 7.

FREESTYLE EXPLOSION

W

hen I spoke with Valerie Day and John Smith of the group Nu Shooz by phone last week, it was 39 years to the day since their first live appearance, a gig at Colonel Summers Park in their hometown of Portland, Oregon. Coming from Portland and making dance music at that time was a long shot. There were plenty of other bands in town, but no one else playing around with the beat-making potential of the new Roland synthesizers the way that Smith was or adding Latin percussion to the mix as Day did. “Portland didn’t have a lot of funk at that point,” said Day, but the duo stuck with it, and each other, eventually getting married and issuing the first Nu Shooz LP in 1982. Through the support of Portland’s top radio deejay, Gary Bryan of KKRZ “Z100,” the group scored a regional hit with a catchy dance number called “I Can’t Wait.”

Things might have ended there if not for the intense demand in nightclubs from New York to Miami, Los

by Charles Donelan Angeles, and beyond for dance music that appealed across a cultural spectrum that included both hip-hop and Latin. A “Dutch mix” of their song made its way from Amsterdam to New York, and the next thing they knew, Nu Shooz had an international hit, a full band, and a recording contract and were dancing and singing “I Can’t Wait” on the syndicated television program Solid Gold.

That distinctive sound, with its slinky synth bass lines, perky pop vocals, and irresistible conga clavé rhythms came to be known as “freestyle,” a catchall term for dance tracks that follow a similar sonic pattern and fit comfortably in the 125-132 beats-per-minute (BPM) range. On Saturday, July 7, when the artists on the Freestyle Explosion tour hit the stage at the Santa Barbara Bowl, the audience will be up and dancing from the opening notes until the last synthesized snares and skittering drum samples have faded away.

For Taylor Dayne, the recording artist, actor, and reality TV star, being on the Freestyle Explosion tour represents another stop on a 30-year journey that includes everything from a top-10 smash with “Tell It to My Heart” in 1987 to “Born to Sing,” a powerful TED talk examining her intimacy issues in 2016.“It’s no yellow brick road,” Dayne said of the route she took to creative success,“but through my voice, I have connected with other people, and by adapting over the years, I’ve been able to continue to feel more and more connected.” Fans of this versatile woman should keep their eyes out for a memoir in fall 2018.

Every one of Dayne’s hits has either the word “heart” or the word “love” in the title, and that’s a good indicator not only of her feelings but of the whole emotional vibe of the freestyle scene. These songs, with their searching, minor-key melodies and thundering bass lines, revel in the kind of lovelorn adolescent energy that fills dance floors and teen hearts with equal consistency. Anyone who has seen such classic ’80s hip-hop films as Beat Street that feature B-boy battles by dance groups like the Rock Steady Crew will recognize the sound and appreciate the way that it moved all kinds of people to take chances and do things with their bodies that they had never done before.

In addition to Taylor Dayne and Nu Shooz, Saturday’s bill includes Stevie B, The Jets, Lisa Lisa, Exposé, and Debbie Deb. In the words of Debbie Deb’s 1987 track, “Lookout Weekend.”

CELEBRATE: S.B.-born reggae band Rebelution returns to the Bowl on September 9 in support of its new album, Free Rein.

STAYING POSITIVE ON STATE

by Richie DeMaria REGIONAL REGGAE REBELS: From sea to shining sea, Americans are soon to celebrate the Fourth of July in some form or another. It’s safe to guess that not all parties will be rosy, or proud, as our alabaster cities seem to gleam with the stain of children’s tears. But for now, freedom of speech and independence of thought may still find a safe haven in our songs and sounds.

This summer, two longtime regional greats are back to remind us that we can rebel in our own way, and music’s often the best way to do it.

First, the Mad Caddies from Solvang debuted their new reggae covers album, Punk Rocksteady, on June 15. Featuring reggae renditions of songs by acts such as Bad Religion, The Misfits, Descendents, and Against Me!, the group naturally pairs punk propulsion and ska spirit, inflecting some of your favorite back-in-the-day punk bangers with that infectious Mad Caddies lift and 805 groove. NOFX’s Fat Mike hand-selected the tunes, and the collaboration was a dream come true. Many have declared punk dead more or less since its inception, but the irrepressible Caddies and Fat Mike together remind us of that other declaration: Punk rock will never die.

Neither, either, will reggae itself, being of course a soundtrack itself to rising up and rising again. S.B.’s Rebelution, famously, has planted those reggae roots to worldwide success and adoration, growing them in Santa Barbara soil and seeing what blooms. Free Rein, the band’s new album, also released on June 15, pops with positivity, per usual for the peacemaking music mavens. But this time the joy runs deeper, tempered with growth.

Saxophonist Mike Eyia tragically passed away in February of this year, and lead single “Celebrate” commemorates his life through a celebration of life itself. In dark times, sometimes the best rebellion is a defiant positivity: claiming that sun that strikes your skin and shakes you awake from the fog. With its new album, Rebelution aims to do just that. The band plays at the Santa Barbara Bowl on September 9 with special guests Stephen Marley, Common Kings, and Zion I, so watch these pages for future coverage.

ARTISTS OF INDEPENDENCE: The start of summer also sees solo efforts from Santa Barbarans, including Kyle Nicolai. Rock fans may remember Nicolai as the leader of Beware of Darkness, who scored a top-10 rock hit, appeared on Conan, and toured with bands such as the Smashing Pumpkins, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Cage the Elephant, and Soundgarden. Now, Nicolai is putting forth his solo voice in the form of “American Hymns,” an exciting development for the area singer/songwriter. Consider it for your Fourth of July playlist.

FOLLOWING THE FOURTH: But wait, there’s shows! Over at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.), reggae fans will be pleased to hear that Soul Majestic is back at it on Friday, July 6, at 9 p.m. The following day at SOhO, funksters Killer Kaya open for Sugar Candy Mountain, who plays at 9 p.m. Fans of Tame Impala will enjoy Sugar Candy Mountain’s tropicalia psychedelia.

KCSB presents the show, so come on and out and support local art, local radio, and local love.

Over at the Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave.), Lauren Barth and Matt Nice and the Derls play at 9 p.m., also that Saturday. Barth’s music resides in the hazy glow of American neon, a dreamily poppy kind of Americana, while Matt Nice and the Derls are a six-piece sonic exploration into psyche-Derl-ic territory. The Mercury Lounge’s resident tastemaker Mariah Moon predicts this will be the sort of show you’ll one day feel lucky to have attended, when both acts are bigger and you recall the cozy Merc setting. n Catch them while you can.

LOS LOBOS

jai’s magically inviting Libbey Bowl has been hiding in plain sight pretty much since it was first built in 1957 and then fixed up eight years ago. Last Friday night, Los Lobos happily stumbled onto this outdoor stage for the very first time in their 40-year history as one of the greatest rock-and-roll bands America has produced. Perhaps it wasn’t Los Lobos at their exceptional best, but the melding of place and music made everyone — even those who’ve At the Libbey Bowl, long forgotten — believe in the Fri., June 22. possibility of summer all over again.

David Hidalgo, the band’s driving musical genius, lead singer, lead guitar player, and all-around man mountain, showed signs of physical erosion. Still, he positively tore it up on such crowd-pleasers as “Let’s Say Goodnight,” “Don’t Worry Baby,” and “Will the Wolf Survive?” When Hidalgo invited the audience to

roll godfather Neil Young would play our majestic and rather tiny Lobero Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday as a warmup for his headlining slot at the Arroyo Seco Weekend in Pasadena the following Saturday, June 23. I was out of town both days, so didn’t bother hustling for tickets. But then I caught intel that he’d also play a Thursday show from a friend of mine who’d secured second-row tickets (albeit with a slightly partial view from the far right side), and I was in.

We arrived right after I judged At the Lobero the Indy’s cocktail competition at Theatre, Thu., El Paseo, running into a steady June 21. stream of friends all giddy about the evening, including Jack and Kim Johnson with their oldest kid in tow, now nearly the family’s tallest.

Once we all filed inside, Young started promptly, and the crowd stood at attention immediately, with most audience members out of their seats for the entire show.

Young played an unrelenting stream of guitar-heavy hits, such as “Love to Burn” and “Walk On,” backed up by Willie’s captivating kid Lukas Nelson and his band, Promise of the Real, who brought extra energy to Young’s two-hour onslaught. Though it was clearly Neil’s night, the highlight of Thursday was a new song

by Nelson called “Turn Off the News,” in which the

crowd enthusiastically embraced a message of tuning out the constant hate of modern media and tuning into such things as planting a garden and teaching our kids to live in love. (And the dude sounds so much like his dad, though sweeter.)

It was a much-needed salve for our currently troubled society and a reminder that, even amid this American-caused chaos, we reside in a special community that chooses to unite over the holy music of a rock star redeemer. Thanks for that, Mr. Young.

rush the stage and dance, audience members happily obliged. Conspicuous by their absence was the blessed lack of security personnel. Bags were not checked and asses not plastered to the seats. Old men, middle-aged women, and very young kids took to the stage to shake it to the throbbing syncopation of “Más y Más.”

Los Lobos’ genius is a group effort, Hidalgo’s brilliance notwithstanding, and the band melted the crowd with a searing blast of tropical humidity with “Chuco’s Cumbia” and “Cumbia Raza.” The show was short but very sweet. No new tunes were unveiled, but it was a chance to reacquaint oneself with one of the most overlooked songbooks ever, plus a few covers. No one does “Bertha” better than the Grateful Dead, and even that’s debatable. And sure, “La Bamba” may have been overplayed a bit over the years, but Friday night, Los Lobos reminded the crowd why, including it in a closeout medley with “Good Lovin’,” the Young Rascals’ monster hit from the mid-’60s. Good loving indeed.

he Humans is an oddly generic title, but it perfectly fits Stephen Karam’s Tony Award–winning play, currently making its Southern California debut at the Ahmanson Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.

This taut tale of three generations of an unremarkable American family who gather At the Ahmanson to share Thanksgiving dinner Theatre in L.A., Sat., is, in the deepest possible sense, June 23. Shows humane. The characters’ feelings through July 29. for each other — a constantly changing combination of affection and resentment — will strike a chord in nearly everyone, as will the underlying emotion they all share: an overwhelming sense of disappointment with life.

Brigid (Sarah Steele), not long out of college, is starting to doubt she will achieve her dreams. Her older sister, Aimee (Cassie Beck), having broken up with

her lover and failed to make partner at her law firm, is girding herself for a life of frustration. Their taciturn father, Erik (Reed Birney), is watching helplessly as the fruits of his own modest achievements slip away.

And his mother (Lauren Klein), suffering from old-age dementia, is a mass of confusion and fear, only snapping to life during the pre-meal prayer.

Her unexpected recitation of those familiar words is an extremely moving moment—one of many. But there’s also much humor here, mainly in the acidic retorts of Brigid and Aimee’s mother, Deirdre (Jayne Houdyshell), who is deeply wounded, annoyingly dogmatic, and impressively determined to push through life’s obstacles. The superb cast, under the subtle direction of Joe Mantello, conveys the tough truths of Karam’s writing with startling effectiveness. “We’re okay,” Erik keeps repeating, and as Birney’s devastating performance makes clear, he isn’t convincing anyone, including himself.

Reynolds played a key role in writing and producing the film, and it’s easy to see how much energy he put into it. Deadpool 2 continues the series with just as much action, comedy, and cursing as one has come to expect from Fiesta 5 Deadpool. (NS) Hereditary (127 mins., R) The world in miniature fills the home studio of artist Annie (Toni Collette), the horror genre’s latest mom to take on otherworldly forces for the sake of her children. Annie creates unsettling, dollhouse-like dioramas, her recent fixation being reenactments of her mother’s illness and death. These works establish a suffocating domesticity that gives this spectral drama much of its eerie mood. Also disquieting is Milly Shapiro, the actor who plays Annie’s daughter, Charlie, and whose face startles with the gravity of one who is 10 years old and 40 at the same time.

But mood is the key to Hereditary, because plot and character motivation fall flat after the first half hour. The four leads—Alex Wolff and Gabriel Byrne costar—seem to have played their parts with the other actors absent; the individually strong performances never capture the intimacy of a family, even a distant one. Hereditary’s conclusion comes as a relief after two hours, with a laughably literal explication of the family’s haunting. It’s not that the movie is bad. It’s that it starts out aspiring to be good and ends aspiring to be bad enough to be good, but it fails at both. (AT) Fiesta 5

“WACKILY ECCENTRIC” – NEW YORK TIMES

STARRING

ROBERT PATTINSON MIA WASIKOWSKA

SHOWING JUNE 29 - JULY 5

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Incredibles 2 doesn’t disappoint. It is a fantastic film whose breadth of story and concepts match perfectly with its characters and imagination.

Taking up where the original story left off, Incredibles 2 answers the original film’s dangling questions, continues plot themes, and interweaves the Parr family’s (aka the Incredibles) challenges and humanity seamlessly into the story. This iteration dives deeper into the larger implications and politics of reintroducing “Supers” into society and is exactly the sequel that this series deserves. Incredibles 2 is a must-see Pixar classic—but definitely watch the original first. (NS)

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (128 mins., PG-13)

Three years after the dinosaurs ran amok on Isla Nubar, a mercenary team returns to the abandoned island to get DNA from a T. rex’s carcass, which lies inconveniently at the bottom of a lagoon where a Mosasaurus lives. One thing leads to another, and, after retrieving one of the T. rex’s bones, the DNA extractors flee from the attacking Mosasaurus and forget to close the gate, thus releasing the monster into the sea. Mayhem and destruction follow. Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, B.D. Wong, and Jeff Goldblum reprise their roles.

O 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 (Danny Ocean’s sister) and Lou, respectively, two criminal masterminds who put together a crack team of thieves to pull off a heist at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Met Gala. The film gets off to a bit of a slow start as Debbie and Lou assemble their crew, but once the plan is put into action, the plot clips along nicely. The actors in the talented ensemble, which also includes Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter, do an expectedly fine job in their roles, all of them infusing appeal and humor into their characters.

James Corden gives a delightful turn as an insurance investigator, and Hathaway is absolutely delightful as a shallow movie star. Cameos abound as guests arrive to the party, and clever plot twists keep the audience engaged until the end. Overall, Ocean’s 8 does a nice job of staying true to the previous films’ formula while introducing a whole new cast of characters who are just as cunning and charming as Soderbergh’s originals. (MD) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

O RBG

(97 mins., NR)

In this illuminating and warmhearted doc about longstanding Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen blend archival and modern footage to capture the diminutive, deceptively calm powerhouse—aka her rapper handle, “Notorious RBG”—in midstream, still going strong and adhering to her critical left position at age 85. 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.

(JW) Riviera

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 cheesiness 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.

(NS) Camino Real/Fiesta 5 The Seagull (98 mins., PG-13) Saoirse Ronan, Annette Bening, and Corey Stoll star in this film adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s play of the same name. When Irina (Bening) and her lover Boris (Stoll) visit her brother on his country estate, they get more than they bargained for as the neighbor girl Nina (Ronan) falls in love with Boris.

The Hitchcock

➤ Tag

(94 mins., R)

Jeff Tomsic’s Tag, based on the true story first covered in the Wall Street Journal, is an entertaining film with a stellar cast.

The story follows a group of friends who have continued the same game of tag for 30 years. They travel all over the country during the month of May every year to surprise each other and make the next person “it.” Starring Ed Helms (The Hangover), Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Hannibal Buress (Neighbors), Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), Jake Johnson (New Girl), and Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), Tag has a perfectly eclectic cast to tell an amusing story. Plenty of creative license is taken, and the story is over-the-top at times, but if you’re looking for a simple movie to watch with friends, Tag fits the bill nicely. (NS) Camino Real/Metro 4

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF JUNE 28 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Your best ideas and soundest decisions will materialize as if by magic while you’re lounging around doing nothing in a worry-free environment. So please make sure you have an abundance of relaxed slack and unhurried grace. Treat yourself to record-setting levels of comfort and self-care. Do whatever’s necessary for you to feel as safe as you have ever felt. I realize these prescriptions might ostensibly clash with your fiery Aries nature. But if you meditate on them for even two minutes, I bet you’ll agree they’re exquisitely appropriate for you right now.

brisk possibilities that were previously off-limits or invisible to you. To ensure you remain in top shape for this delightful development, I think you should avoid entertainment that stimulates fear and pessimism.

Instead of watching the latest flurry of demoralizing stories on Netflix, spend quality time summoning memories of the times in your life when you were unbeatable. For extra credit, pump your fist 10 times each day as you growl, “Victory is mine!”

it to you. I realize it’s a flamboyant, even extreme, declaration, but in my opinion, that’s what is most likely to motivate you to do the right thing. Here’s another splashy prompt, courtesy of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre: “We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made us.”

SCORPIO

(Apr. 20-May 20): “It is always what is under pressure in us, especially under pressure of concealment — that explodes in poetry.” Taurus poet Adrienne Rich wrote that in an essay about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was describing the process of tapping into potent but buried feelings so as to create beautiful works of literature. I’m hoping to persuade you to take a comparable approach: to give voice to what’s under pressure inside you, but in a graceful and constructive way that has positive results.

(July 23-Aug. 22): It’s not so bad to temporarily lose your bearings. What’s bad is not capitalizing on the disruption that caused you to lose your bearings.

So I propose that you regard the fresh commotion as a blessing. Use it as motivation to initiate radical changes. For example, escape the illusions and deceptions that caused you to lose your bearings. Explore unruly emotions that may be at the root of the superpowers you will fully develop in the future. Transform yourself into a brave self-healer who is newly receptive to a host of medicinal clues that were not previously accessible.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): André René Roussimoff, also known as André the Giant, was a French actor and professional wrestler. He was seven feet, four inches tall and weighed 520 pounds. As you might imagine, he ate and drank extravagantly. On one festive occasion, he quaffed 119 bottles of beer in six hours. Judging from your current astrological indicators, Scorpio, I suspect you may be ready for a binge like that. JUST KIDDING! I sincerely hope you won’t indulge in such wasteful forms of “pleasure.” The coming days should be a time when you engage in a focused pursuit of uplifting and healthy modes of bliss. The point is to seek gusto and amusement that enhance your body, mind, and soul.

GEMINI

TAURUS

LEO

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(May 21-June 20): Introductory offers are expiring.

The bracing thrills of novelty must ripen into the cool enjoyments of maturity. It’s time to finish the dress rehearsals so the actual show can begin. You’ve got to start turning big, bright fantasies into crisp, nononsense realities. In light of these shifting conditions, I suspect you can no longer use your good intentions as leverage but must deliver more tangible signs of commitment. Please don’t take this as a criticism, but the cosmic machinery in your vicinity needs some actual oil, not just your witty stories about the oil and the cosmic machinery.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s my list of demands: (1) Avoid hanging out with people who are unreceptive to your influence. (2) Avoid hanging out with people whose influence on you is mediocre or dispiriting.

(3) Hang out with people who are receptive to your influence and whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating. (4) Influence the hell out of the people who are receptive to your influence. Be a generous catalyst for them. Nudge them to surpass the limits they would benefit from surpassing. (5) Allow yourself to be deeply moved by people whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating.

CANCER

LIBRA

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): On her 90th birthday, my GreatAunt Zosia told me, “The best gift you can give your ego is to make it see it’s both totally insignificant and totally important in the cosmic scheme of things.”

Jenna, my girlfriend when I was 19, was perhaps touting a similar principle when, after teasing and tormenting me for two hours, she scrawled on my bathroom mirror in lipstick,“Sometimes you enjoy life better if you don’t understand it.” Then there’s my Zen punk friend Arturo, who says that life’s goodies are more likely to flow your way if you “hope for nothing and are open to everything.” According to my analysis of the astrological rhythms, these messages will help you make the most of the bewildering but succulent opportunities that are now arriving in your vicinity.

(June 21-July 22): In the coming weeks, you will have an excellent chance to dramatically decrease your Wimp Quotient. As the perilously passive parts of your niceness toughen up, I bet you will encounter

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” Activist author Audre Lorde said that, and now, in accordance with your current astrological and psychological needs, I’m offering

as your guiding meditations during the next seven weeks. You might want to write them on a piece of paper that you will carry in your wallet or pocket.

Here’s the first, from businessman Alan Cohen: “Only those who ask for more can get more, and only those who know there is more ask.” Here’s the second, from writer G.K. Chesterton: “We need to be happy in this wonderland without once being merely comfortable.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ecologists in Mexico City investigated why certain sparrows and finches use humans’ discarded cigarette butts in building their nests. They found that cellulose acetate, a chemical in the butts, protects the nests by repelling parasitic mites. Is there a metaphorical lesson you might draw from the birds’ ingenious adaptation, Aquarius? Could you find good use for what might seem to be dross or debris? My analysis of the astrological omens says that this possibility is worth meditating on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I suspect that sometime soon you will come into possession of an enchanted potion or pixie dust or a pouch full of magic beans — or the equivalent. If and when that occurs, consider the following protocols: (1) Before you use your new treasure, say a prayer to your higher self, requesting that you will be guided to use it in such a way as to make yourself wiser and kinder. (2) When you use it, be sure it harms no one. (3) Express gratitude for it before, during, and after using it. (4) Use it in such a way that it benefits at least one other person or creature in addition to you. (5) See if you can use it to generate the arrival of more pixie dust, magical beans, or enchanted potion in the future. (6) When you use it, focus on wielding it to get exactly what you want, not what you sort of want or temporarily want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In accordance with the astrological beacons, I have selected two pieces of advice to serve
