ALL THE PRETTY HORSES

Name: Katie Upton Title: Cover artist Tell us about your love affair with horses: I have been drawing and painting horses since I was very young. I grew up with horses. I started riding when I was about 3. I have lived in Mission Canyon my whole life. I spent my childhood riding with my friends, exploring our backcountry. I probably wasn’t aware of it at the time, but I have studied horses as far back as I can remember. I think I kind of absorbed them.

When did painting them become your focus?

When I first did some of my large-scale horse drawings in the late ‘80s, it felt really natural and honest. I finally could pull from all the absorbed knowledge of horses I had stored up.

I could express, in a sense, who they are to me.

What do you hope your work conveys? I hope my work expresses a total sense and spirit of the horse.

Bike Riders Beware

T

he Santa Barbara Police Department has issued a heads-up to participants in the annual Fiesta Cruiser Run, an Old Spanish Days tradition drawing hundreds of bike riders of all ages to the foot of Stearns Wharf on Sunday morning to cycle all or part of the round-trip to Goleta Pier. Additional police officers will be deployed to monitor the ride, according to SBPD’s Anthony Wagner. “Expect enforcement of all bicycle-related traffic laws.”

Blowing through a stop sign or red light, for example, can result in a $237 or $490 fine, respectively. Breaking the lesser-known law of riding as closely as practicable to the righthand-side curb can carry a $190 fine. Riding under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol can lead to jail time and cost $10,000 or more in fines and fees. Wagner said only a handful of citations were issued last year. “We were bemused by how law-abiding everyone was,” he said, adding that the department’s beefed-up “enforcement posture” probably had something to do with it.

—Keith Hamm

FIESTA Downtown curb parking normally limited to 75 or 90 minutes will be suspended 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on 8/3 to better accommodate spectators during the annual Fiesta Historical Parade. Above Highway 101, the perimeter includes Valerio Street to the north, and east to west from Laguna to Bath streets, respectively. Below 101, including Cabrillo Boulevard, it stretches from Garden to Castillo streets. City parking lots will be business as usual.

LAW & DISORDER The County Coroner’s Bureau continues to investigate decomposed human remains discovered last week on the Isla Vista shoreline. On 7/24, emergency responders retrieved an adult-sized torso and head off Camino Pescadero Park; two days later, a femur, fibula, and tibia washed up near Campus Point.

Preliminary comparisons of dental records indicated that “the decedent does not appear to be the missing 17-year-old [Jack Cantin] from the 1/9 Debris Flow,” according to the Sheriff’s Office, which is working with the Department of Justice to compare DNA evidence with regional missing-persons cases.

Santa Barbara a ‘Hub’ for Sex Trafficking Number of Victims Increased Over the Years

ENVIRONMENT

PAU L WE LLM A N

by Blanca Garcia alifornia has the highest number of human trafficking cases in the United States, with San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco labeled by the FBI as cities with high-intensity child sex trafficking.

While Santa Barbara isn’t among the top 10, its position along Highway 101 between major cities makes it a “hub” for sex trafficking, according to the agency. A large majority of the victims found in the county are children, so many identified so frequently that a safe house has been created for them.

In 2013, the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office created the Human Trafficking Task Force, and in 2016, they joined forces with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office to enhance the effort with $1.34 million from the U.S. Department of Justice.

As the task force learned more about child sex trafficking and the range of crimes called “commercial sexual exploitation of children,” or CSEC, the problem grew in scope. The difficulty in mapping the scale of the problem is that victims—more than 90 percent are female in the county—do not self-identify.

“Even when they know we know, and we have seen pictures of them on [a website] or have a known pimp name on their body, they will still not say,‘I was exploited,’” said Lisa Conn, supervisor of the county’s Resiliency Interventions for Sexual Exploitation (RISE).“That can be for a number of reasons,” Conn added.

“Two big ones are shame and fear.”

NEWS BRIEFS

C

Rita McGaw, supervisor of the District Attorney’s Victim-Witness Program

“A lot of people being identified [as victims] are getting caught up in crimes,” said Lt. Brian Olmstead, who heads up the task force. Once identified, the kids get placed in Juvenile Hall, where they are screened and flagged as CSEC victims.“The more outreach we do and education we do, the numbers keep getting bigger and bigger,” said Olmstead. Rita McGaw, the District Attorney’s Victim-Witness Program supervisor, is the first point of contact with survivors, connecting them with immediate services. The ultimate goal is to identify and arrest traffickers, but “it’s not at

the top of the list,” said McGaw. “First is getting the child back to a place where they’re not traumatized.”

On average, it takes about two years before a victim is located, said Conn.“That’s thousands of rapes before they’re identified—unimaginable.” Yet, the relationships the girls have with their traffickers are complex. “Not only is there a lot of fear; at times, there is also a lot of love,” said Jennifer Karapetian, a prosecutor in Santa Maria. “There is a desire to not betray the pimp.” It can appear as if the girl is complicit, said Conn, but as a child, there is

A meeting on the Strauss Wind Energy Project was held last month in Lompoc to allow public comment on environmental concerns. The similar Lompoc Wind Energy Project (LWEP) was approved at the same site in 2009. However, the LWEP was never built. The new project includes fewer but larger wind turbines. The potential biological impact of birds and bats colliding with the turbines was voiced at the meeting. The environmental impact of widening the roads is also being considered.

If approved, the project would produce up to 102 megawatts of electric power, enough power for 44,700 homes.

Sign-ups are being taken at spottinggiantseabass .msi.ucsb.edu in a photo endeavor to identify giant sea bass (pictured), also called black sea bass and known to grow to more than seven feet in length, weigh more than 500 pounds, and live longer than 70 years. A recent study by two UCSB undergrads, Katelin Seeto and Conner Jainese, found that each bass has a unique spot pattern. The Spotting Giant Sea Bass project is using pattern-recognition software developed to read star constellations in order to identify the fish, which are found from off Baja California to the northern Channel Islands. The spotting project hopes to answer questions about where and when the fish roam, and their recovery n from overfishing in the 1980s.

Maldonado Going to Pot

A

mong the many people jumping into Santa Barbara County’s burgeoning cannabis industry is former lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado, who for a while was mentioned as a strong contender to be appointed secretary of agriculture by President Donald Trump.

Maldonado confirmed that he is leasing four acres of Santa Maria farmland to a medical marijuana cultivation operation licensed by the State of California. Before embarking on a successful political career as a moderate Republican—he started as the mayor of Santa Maria in 1996, served 12 years in the State Legislature, and was Abel Maldonado appointed lieutenant governor by thengovernor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2010 —Maldonado was part of a large family agri- that my thinking has evolved,” he said. “For cultural operation in North County. many years I did the Republican Party twoMaldonado said he’s leasing the land to step where cannabis was concerned.” Mala veteran from the Gulf War who is repre- donado said he has no quarrel with Trump’s sented by Maldonado’s former chief of staff position on legalized marijuana but said he and campaign manager Brandon Gesicki. disagrees strongly with Trump’s attorney It is Gesicki’s name on the state and county general, Jeff Sessions, who has been outspodocuments, and like many political consul- ken in denouncing pot, legal or otherwise. tants, Gesicki has jumped into the cannabis Maldonado said he’s been impressed by the industry feet first and represents many clients medical benefits and pain relief he’s seen that throughout Santa Barbara County. cannabis can offer and expressed optimism County administrators estimate cannabis that his anecdotal understanding would be is currently a $200-million-a-year crop, put- borne if systematic research and developting it behind strawberries and substantially ment were allowed to take place.

Town Hall: Wildfire and Drought

W

hat are the odds that a fuel break will stop a fire? According to a 2011 study, it happens about 46 percent of the time.“Forty-six percent may not be too good for shooting free throws, but if you live on the other side of that fuel break, I would say it’s pretty good odds,” Nic Elmquist, a deputy fire manager with Los Padres National from left: Nic Elmquist (Los Padres National Forest), Eric Peterson Forest, told an audience of (County Fire), Representative Salud Carbajal, and Tom Fayram more than 100 people at a (County Water Resources) town hall meeting on drought and wildfire held on Monday.

Affordable Housing Development Gets Out the Gate

by Nick Welsh ignitaries and political big shots donned white ceremonial hard hats under a blazing Monday morning sky, picked up 20 gold-plated ceremonial shovels, and dug up 20 spades of ceremonial sand hauled to the site just for the occasion. The actual ground is way too hard for anything less than jackhammers. If all goes according to plan, the site—a triangular parcel of nearly two acres, located on Hope Avenue along the backside of La Cumbre Plaza — will soon be occupied by 90 new lowincome rental units affordable to tenants with incomes ranging between $17,000 and $35,000 a year.

Studio units at what the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara has dubbed “The Gardens on Hope” will be small — about 330 square feet — but rents will be decidedly low, ranging from $474 to $938.

The project, developed by the Housing Authority, will target low-income senior citizens. Residents can be provided three meals a day, transportation, and housekeeping services, though they will cost extra.

To hear Housing Authority czar Rob Fredericks tell it, The Gardens on Hope managed to dodge a few serious bullets along the way. Other affordable housing projects might not be so lucky. First there are Santa Barbara’s escalating land costs to contend with. Fredericks said the Housing Authority managed to buy the land for $2.5 million in 2013. Just a few months ago, Fredericks said the same chunk of rock-hard dirt was appraised at $5 million. Partially responsible for this manic market is City Hall’s AUD —Average Unit-Size Density —program, which rewards rental-housing developers with sky-high densities. This in turn has sparked such a frenzy for AUDeligible parcels that the Housing Authority now finds itself priced out.

While other AUD developments have generated significant controversy — the higher densities, fewer parking spaces required, and smaller unit sizes have not yet translated into the “affordable-by-design” rents the program’s supporters promised— Fredericks stressed that 100 percent of the

D

units built on Hope Avenue will be affordable. They will also be intensely subsidized.

Without such subsidies, Fredericks said he’d have to charge $2,000-$2,500 a month just to break even.

And since Donald Trump has occupied the White House, Fredericks said, these lowincome-housing subsidies have come under sustained attack. The tax-reform package Trump signed last year, Frederick said, seriously undermined investor interest in low-income-housing tax credits. Without wealthy investors buying these governmentsanctioned tax credits, he said, there’s little capital to build affordable housing. Fredericks said tax-credit sales generated $16 million of the $29 million it will cost to build the new Hope Avenue units. When Trump signed the tax reform package last year, the value of tax credits tanked and the Housing Authority’s then–financial partner, Union Bank, bailed. Union has since been replaced

by Enterprise Community Investments, which Fredericks praised to the sky. The Trump administration and its housing secretary, Dr. Ben Carson, have proposed other significant cuts to other federal affordablehousing subsidies. Carson, for example, has proposed stiffer work requirements for Section 8 housing vouchers. He’s also proposed changes that would require recipients to pay more of their housing costs out of pocket, in some categories tripling it.

Congressmember Salud Carbajal, one of the event’s featured speakers and a vociferous critic of Trump, took delight in reporting that Congress successfully rebuffed Trump’s efforts to cut back such housing programs.

He took even greater delight reporting Congress actually voted to increase funding by 10 percent.

According to Fredericks, the average household costs for the average South Coast senior are $2,400 a month, 20 percent higher than the statewide average. Many seniors, he said, are forced to make do on only $910 a month, their Social Security stipend. Of the 1,300 people on the Housing Authority’s waiting list, he said, 933 are seniors. The new housing project is scheduled to take 14 n months to construct.

Judge Orders Pini to Pony Up

T

he cat-and-mouse game landlord Dario Pini has been playing with city inspectors for decades seems to be now played with the court-appointed receiver, William Hoffman, assigned by Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne to take control of eight of Pini’s rentals, along with their incomes, to bring them up to code. Hoffman’s receivership reports for June contain a 211-page-long list of violations — 1,950 in all. A handful of contractors are expected to submit their bids for repairs by August 6. Hoffman’s company, Trigild, is also acting as property manager, which Pini and his attorney, Paul Burns, have taken great exception to, accusing Hoffman of charging 400 percent the going rate. Hoffman is charging $500 per “door” for the apartments and hotels under his receivership, totaling about $5,600 per property. Burns insists any reputable Santa Barbara property manager would charge 5 percent of rents, or about $9,000 per month total.

Sterne formally noted her disappointment in the receiver’s slow progress on repairs. Attorneys for the lenders jumped in to agree, one asking the judge to require Pini to pay $50,000 per property to kick-start repairs. Thomas Van, an attorney for the lenders, said the court should “un-handcuff” the receiver and fix life, health, and safety issues now, and “ask forgiveness rather than permission” regarding permits. Sterne heard

him out, and then made it clear she would not allow a $50,000 “slush fund” without transparent bidding on the work. At one point, the judge indicated to attorney Burns that he couldn’t have it both ways. Burns had repeatedly expressed how much he preferred working with Hoffman’s attorney Fernando Landa while stating Hoffman’s billing was too high. Sterne pointed out the attorney’s hourly rate was higher than Hoffman’s. She ordered Pini to pay Hoffman’s bills and added that no one should assume she was happy with the amounts. The judge then diagrammed the steps to challenge them at the next hearing on August 22. Until then, she stressed, it was the receiver who was “driving the bus” on property repairs and that she wanted to see more progress.

When Dogs Collide

STRAW MEN: Like pornography and beauty,

a whole lot of fake news lies in the eye of the beholder. That’s what makes it so irresistible.

Some, obviously, is manufactured solely as cynical clickbait to drive revenues. Some is the work of certain foreign governments to destabilize the geopolitical world order.

But a whole lot of what gets tarred as fake news reflects nothing more than differences of political opinion—profoundly and radically felt—as to what makes the world not go ’round. It’s in this latter camp that I’d place last week’s eruption of “fake news” that heaped upon the City of Santa Barbara more free and unwanted publicity than it could ever afford to buy.

Santa Barbarians relying upon the national media for news of the City Council’s vote to ban drinking straws last week might well believe police SWAT teams will soon be shutting down all noncompliant restaurants in which customers are equipped with illegal plastic straws.

Leading the media stampede was tiny Reason magazine — must reading for snarky-minded libertarians equipped with a sense of humor to accompany their perpetual outrage. Reason reported that plastic-straw outlaws—even first-time offenders—could face six months behind bars and fines up to $1,000. Later, Reason would point out in a corrected version that such harsh discipline might be meted out only to repeat offenders

and plastic-straw recidivists. It was not an insignificant change.

But by then, the horses were out of the barn.

The story was then seized upon by the National Review—sniffier and boarding-school highbrow in its brand of conservatism — and from there, Forbes and Fox News. When the dust settled, everybody from Newsweek to People had weighed in, all with headlines riffing on the use-a-straw-go-to-jail meme now alive and well in the People’s Republic of Santa Barbara.

As if.

Eventually, even Donald Trump the junior weighed in, there apparently being a paucity of Russians with whom he could collude this time of year. The straw ban, Junior tweeted, was all about the evils of evil immigrants.

Naturally. “If only Democrats cared as much about curbing MS-13 gang violence,” he tweeted, “as they do straws.”

When, I wondered, would Oprah’s other shoe drop?

What about Ellen’s?

More to the point, was this sudden media blitz bringing more shoppers downtown? Or would greedy landlords chase them away with their obscenely high rents and then blame it on the homeless?

Most important, where could I get one of the plastic gummy wristbands for the heroic survivors?

Having watched and reported on this particular City Council meeting, I was upset.

Could I have missed something so basic?

Turns out I hadn’t. But in the universe of real but practically irrelevant facts, I actually did.

Here’s how. In the fine print of the proposed ordinance—it’s still not adopted, by the way—violators can be charged with either an infraction or a misdemeanor. It’s up to the city attorney to decide. This is generic default language, by the way, and is true for every offense written into the city’s administrative code. If he were to choose the latter, then yes, six months of jail time would be within the realm of possibility, as would $1,000 fines.

As a practical reality, however, that’s never going to happen. To the extent City Hall enforces this ordinance at all—and I’m betting it won’t—it would be to issue warnings to first-time offenders. After that, shops catering to hypochondriacs and germophobes insisting on their right to plastic straws would face fines ranging from $100 to $250, depending on the number of priors. It should be noted, the ban excludes people who genuinely need straws to sip their nutrition. It should also be noted, I am not relying on City Hall to behave fairly enforcing the ordinance, just in its own self-interest. If it chose to prosecute violators on misdemeanor charges, the defendants would be entitled to jury trials. No matter how such trials played out, City Hall would look ridiculous. And police states can’t afford to appear silly.

This default language in Santa Barbara’s ordinance, by contrast, reportedly does not

exist in any of the anti-straw ordinances passed by Seattle, Miami Beach, San Francisco, 10 other California cities, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or even in the edict issued by Queen Elizabeth II for all royal properties. So it is technically factual—if only theoretically so — to report Santa Barbara has the most severe and draconian straw ban on the books.

For publications that regard straw bans as empty, rhetorical, feel-good gestures concocted by environmental elitist activists teaming up with Hollywood personalities and insufferably cute kids to enact new laws to solve problems that either don’t exist or won’t be fixed, the mere existence of this boilerplate lingo is further grist for their mill. I would put Reason into this category.

And I get their point. But from my vantage point, plastic straws qualify as unnecessary evils, so ubiquitous yet so utterly unessential for the vast majority. Some rhetorical gestures are worth making, however empty they may seem in isolation. Among the many habits we need not cling to, the mindless consumption of single-use plastics seems egregiously heedless, elitist poseurs notwithstanding.

In a more perfect world, we’d all stop just because. What I’ve discovered is that when city councils pass stupid laws that will never be enforced, a whole lot of people “discover” the meaning of “just because” sooner.

Given this mindset, is it any wonder I missed the story?

Meg Fraser

04/12/36-07/26/18

Meg Fraser died early Thursday evening, July 26th, after a brief illness, holding her two daughter’s hands. Her 11-year-old son, Michael, and her two sisters, Lois and Gale, preceded her in death.

Born Marilyn Ellen George in Lexington Massachusetts on April 12th, 1936, she was the oldest of five children. “Meg” had a love of life that included a passion for everything: dancing, swimming, hiking, music, art, theater, and especially poetry. She met Marcel Fraser at a dance hall in Boston. They married in 1957 and had three children. Their lives were full of culture and adventure. The family moved to Santa Barbara in 1971 where continued her love of writing and authored three books of poetry.

Later in life she divorced and met her longtime companion, artist Jack Schumaker, who shared her love of dance, music and travel.

He preceded her in death.

Loved dearly by friends and strangers alike, Meg was known for her Boston accent, and her colorful outfits punctuated by flowered hats. Knitting was an important part of her life, and she always wore her latest creations. She was curious and interested in everyone she met, and conversed with anyone who crossed her path.

A life-long learner, she was a prolific scrabble player, an avid reader of the classics, philosophy, poetry, and nature. She repeatedly told her daughters and grandson that she would be everywhere when she died; in the plants, the trees, the birds, the flowers, and in the magnificent hawks The last 5 months of her 16

life were spent at Garden Court where she fell in love with Sean Donovan. A celebration of her life will be held there in the future.

Meg is survived by her two daughters, Bren and Lisette, her grandson, Jake Michael, and her brothers Robert and Alan.

Thanks go to Garden Court, the sweet and gentle nurses on the Wood Claeyson’s third floor at Cottage Hospital, and the extraordinary angels at Serenity House where she spent her last 24 hours.

Please honor her life by wearing something colorful today. She is missed.

Vincent Cavallero 11/08/22-07/18/18

A 95-year resident of Santa Barbara, Vincent Cavallero peacefully passed away surrounded by his family on July 18, 2018. He was born on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada on November 8, 1922 to Cecilia Becchio Cavallero and Frank Cavallero, immigrants from the Piedmont region of Northern Italy.

At the age of four months,

he and his parents moved to Santa Barbara. He and his younger brother, Raymond grew up speaking the Piemontese dialect. He was proud of his Italian heritage and encouraged his daughters’ bilingualism, travel to Italy and to maintain their Italian family connections.

He attended Franklin and Jefferson Elementary Schools, Santa Barbara Junior High School and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1940.

While at SBHS he and other students walked up the Riviera to take classes with Francesco Franceschi, which inspired his love of gardening and nature. He played violin at an early age and continued through high school. His love of music made him a great dancer and he later taught his daughters to dance. His mechanical ability was evident as a young boy.

Following welding classes at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he took his skills to work on the liberty ships preparing for WWII. He was drafted into the Army Air Corps and spent 27 months in the Pacific Theater; the Philippines and the jungles of New Guinea.

Later, he witnessed the surrender of Japan. Upon his return from WWII, he married Cristina Tonietto and together they had two daughters. He joined the Santa Barbara City Fire Department in 1947 and due to his keen mechanical aptitude was promoted to Master Mechanic and the rank of Captain. He served the SBFD for 37 years, during which time he designed and wrote the specifications for new fire equipment. Upon his retirement he was called back to consult for the City.

He was a 70-year member of Santa Barbara Masonic Lodge #192, Scottish Rite, SB Shrine Club, SB Elks Lodge and was a charter member of the SBHS Alumni Association.

He is survived by his two daughters Diana Rheinisch, Gloria Cavallero (Bruce Belfiore);

grandchildren, Erik Rheinisch (Sorya), Cristian Rheinisch, Siana Belfiore (Bruna), William Belfiore; great-granddaughter, Scarlette Rheinisch and brother, Raymond Cavallero (Lois) and three nephews. His parents and son-in-law, Frank Rheinisch, predeceased him.

Vince’s family wishes to thank the caregivers at Oak Cottage, the entire professional team at Heritage House for their loving care and the extraordinary team of Assisted Hospice of SB. A funeral service will be held at the Santa Barbara Cemetery Chapel on August 9, 2018 at 11 am with interment following.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to SBHS Alumni Association for campus horticultural beautification, P.O. Box 6121, Santa Barbara, CA 93160 or Assisted Hospice of SB.

yler Hayden’s terrific article on the downtown dilemma taught me a lot. (“The Fight for State Street” [independent. com/fightforstatest]) Still, it was long on one-off stories about process woes and city nastiness but short on the many silk purses created from submitted sows’ ears after city review.

A notable exception to most comments — that the problem was someone else’s — was the anonymous city employee who acknowledged, “The first step is to even admit we have a problem.” The others had some excuse: inadequate policing, size and shape of spaces, onerous permit process, the Funk Zone.

They had plenty of stories about how much easier and cheaper it is to do business somewhere else. Nevertheless, applicants continue to fill the agendas of designreview boards with new projects. Thank goodness for the Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC)!

Two consistent themes arise at HLC meetings. First: transparency. Design guidelines are published and available to applicants. Second: the audacity of some architects with unacceptable designs. It’s little wonder HLC members get exasperated by overzealous developers. HLC is one of the bulwarks against Santa Barbara’s architecture resembling just another beachside town with a Spanish mission, like Oceanside, Ventura, or Santa Cruz.

One business supporter said it’s up to City Hall to lead the charge with relentless buy-in from the rest of the community. Be careful what you wish for. That community actually lives and votes here, unlike absentee landlords and out-of-town developers.

We don’t like the downtown deterioration, but we definitely will not turn over control to commercial interests.

travel by motorcycle to Santa Barbara for business, but no longer for fun. Though the city’s policy of free parking for motorcycles in city lots is a fantastic safety measure, regarding the decline of State Street, there are crazy jaywalkers who practically dare vehicles to hit them. Three such events in one day cemented the Santa Barbara brand in my mind — illustrated nicely by the Porsche SUV blaring its horn at a proudly unfazed woman crossing State and Anapamu streets on the diagonal — a place of crazy poor people and careless rich people.

I’m not proud to have found the limits of my compassion. I know that most homeless mentally ill people mean no harm, but some are unpredictable, and unpredictability breeds anxiety, and anxiety makes strolling or riding or driving through downtown Santa Barbara a hassle to be avoided.

I don’t know if professionals in the psychology field do pro bono work like lawyers, but I’ll bet there are enough of them to adopt all of the homeless people in S.B. I wish I could offer a better solution.

RF Riff

I

want to express my appreciation for the information in the Angry Poodle Barbecue last week [independent.com/you cantgetthere] regarding the unusual number of ripped-up streets in downtown Santa Barbara lately. I’ve been wondering what the heck is going on with all the work along Bath and Micheltorena streets. I’m glad to learn that Edison is continuing their efforts to increase reliability of their grid system. As for the new “mini cell towers,” all I can say is, well, whatever.

As for your apprehension about the health effects of electromagnetic radiation, don’t be too concerned. And please don’t sound the public-safety alarm. No one is going to be “cooked.” One must be very, very close to the source of any radio frequency (RF) radiation to be in danger. RF energy radiated by any transmitting antenna falls off substantially just a very short distance from the antenna.

To understand more fully, just do an online search of “inverse-square law and attenuation of EM waves.” Actually, the cell phone you hold in your hand and next to your ear is exposing you to more RF radiation than the cellular antenna mounted up on a tower.

Even your phone, though, isn’t anything to worry about, really. — Dave Williams, S.B.

Stop the Torment

T

here is an old saying: “The show will stop when the audience is gone.” That is why I am asking others to join me in boycotting the Fiesta rodeo. If the city won’t put a stop to this needless tormenting of animals, maybe it will end when it is no longer profitable.

Rodeos are thought by many to be great family fun until you look closely and see the brutality in this “great American tradition.”

Horses, cows, and calves experience pain, pleasure, desire, hunger, anticipation, and fear. They seek companionship and love their young as we do. Believing mistakenly that exploited animals are treated well, many people accept current attitudes.

Enjoy Fiesta by attending the parade and enjoying the dancing and mercados. Just be aware, because something is a tradition, that doesn’t make it acceptable. While you are at it, have a nice day. Rodeo livestock never do!

RNA Rip-Off

S

ince incorporation in 2002, the City of Goleta has paid 50 percent of its property tax, 50 percent of its retail sales tax, and 40 percent of its Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) to Santa Barbara County because of the Revenue Neutrality Agreement (RNA) cityhood voters had to accept from the county as the cost of our cityhood.

The good news is that TOT sharing ended in 2012-2013, and the sales tax paid has decreased to 30 percent. Unfortunately, Goleta must give the county half of our property tax and 30 percent of our sales tax forever!

Goleta Valley has attempted to incorporate at least five times since the 1970s. When voters were given a chance for cityhood in 2002, they accepted the worst RNA in the history of the state of California. It was that or no city of Goleta.

Now, 16 years later, it is time to amend the Goleta– Santa Barbara County RNA. By the end of our 2018-19 budget, Goleta will have paid the county $109.1 million.

These payments, nearly $6 million a year, will continue until the City of Goleta makes the county change this agreement.

The Goleta City Council should vote to amend this RNA with a 25-year “sunset.” If the county doesn’t like that, it can offer a compromise, or sue.

Health-Care System Collapsing

H

ealth-care costs, including deductibles and copays, have greatly increased, not just because of the coverage of people with preexisting conditions, older persons, young people not participating, and the collapsing of state Obamacare exchanges. It’s due to drugs and medical providers, with their high costs for doctor fees, medical services, lab work, and hospitalization. All are the major cost contributors.

Costs need to be justified. The present Republican plans will not increase affordability, accessibility, and quality of care, or subject the health-care providers and drug companies with cost exposure and competition. It will greatly increase the federal debt, now $21.2 trillion, a $1.23 trillion increase since the start of the Trump administration.

The Democrat- and socialist-advocated national single-payer system will not result in affordability or increase accessibility or quality of care, but it will greatly increase the national debt, as well as state debt.

There are approximately 28 million who have no health coverage of any type. Medicaid recipients, presently about 74 million, are expanding at an unsustainable, debt-increasing rate. Obamacare is collapsing, especially with the elimination of the tax against those who do not sign up, which includes those who cannot afford the high premiums and high deductions and those who find out the coverage is not accepted by their desired medical providers. Insurance companies are pulling out and/or seeking taxpayer bailout. Affordable Care Act exchanges have collapsed, with more to follow, including California’s.

Our national health-care system, close to 18 percent of our national economy, is in danger of collapsing, with disastrous consequences to our people and their medical needs. A solution is needed. It will not come from our politicians, insurance companies, drug companies, and medical providers. Citizen leadership is needed.

.T. Bryan’s description of the health-care crisis is correct. However, his dismissal of single-payer as a solution is not.

An enormously well-funded opposition prevents the single-payer solution from being enacted, led by those who are reaping huge profits from the current fragmented system of multiple insurers and monopolypriced drugs. A share of those profits is spent, legally, to influence the general populace and our elected representatives to oppose single-payer and to finance campaigns against those politicians who support single-payer.

The rest of the world’s industrialized democracies spend considerably less on health care than we do, grant comprehensive care as a right, finance health care by distributing the cost fairly among its people, and have better outcomes.

There are several health-finance models to choose from that would save money while improving quality. It doesn’t have to be single-payer, but single-payer has the lowest administrative cost, among other advantages.

I recommend that those interested in this subject view a free video called Fix It, produced by a businessman (fixithealthcare.com) The conclusion that citizen leadership will lead to the necessary change is spot-on. But citizens must have accurate information on what works and what doesn’t.

For the Record

¶ In last week’s news story “Trail Alliance Enters Hollister Ranch Lawsuit,” we inadvertently left the Gaviota Coast Conservancy off the list of participants in the Gaviota Coastal Trail Alliance, the group of nonprofits that has filed to intervene in the public-access settlement. ¶ Last week’s news article “Judge Fast-Tracks ‘John Connor’ to State Psych Hospital” overstated the degree of consensus between prosecutors and defense attorneys. While both sides agreed that Brent Fox — diagnosed with acute schizophrenia when he was charged with assaulting a peace officer—needed to be removed from County Jail and hospitalized, the two sides strongly disagreed on the nature of the charges initially filed against Fox. He was initially charged with felony counts; defense attorney Erica Sutherland fought to have them reduced to misdemeanors. Ultimately, Judge Patricia Kelly ruled Fox should be charged with misdemeanors and not felonies.

VA N D E N B E R G A I R F O R C E B A S E he United States brought nuclear weapons into the world. It is the

only country to have used them, and it did so on innocent civilians.

Nuclear weapons are now many times more powerful than the fission bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They make no nation safer but imperil all nations and the planet we all live on. Nuclear weapons are intrinsically immoral.

Fifty years ago, the United States signed the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. We joined the four other nuclear countries in 1968 to promise to work “in good faith” toward “complete disarmament,” while other nations that signed the treaty agreed to never obtain them.

The current nuclear arsenal of the United States, however, and its plans to modernize its nuclear weaponry over the next 30 years (at a cost of $1.2 trillion, according to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, cbo.gov/publication/53211), radically belie the promise our nation made when it signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Our country’s current deployment of more than 1,500 nuclear warheads in its triad of intercontinental ballistic missiles, strategic bombers, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles endows us with monstrous nuclear capacity and supremacy over all other nations.

In February of this year, the 50th anniversary of our signing the NonProliferation Treaty, the Pentagon released its “Nuclear Posture Review” (NPR). In his preface, General Jim Mattis (ret.) states: This review confirms the findings of previous NPRs that the nuclear triad — supported

by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) dual-capable aircraft and a robust nuclear command, control, and communications system — is the most cost-effective and strategically sound means of ensuring nuclear deterrence.

And further: This review affirms the modernization programs initiated during the previous Administration to replace our nuclear ballistic missile submarines, strategic bombers, nuclear air-launched cruise missiles, ICBMs, and associated nuclear command and control. (tinyurl.com/NuclearPosture2018)

So, 50 years after promising to help purge the world of nuclear weapons, our nation insanely believes the best way to prevent the use of nuclear weapons is to assure that they are ever more effective. Moreover, we have the audacity to demand that other nations such as Iran and North Korea not have such weapons.

Has there ever been a greater and more dangerous hypocrisy in the history of civilization?

We are people who have protested at Vandenberg Air Force Base against nuclear weaponry. We protest at Vandenberg because our nation tests its intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) by firing them from the base to Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, degrading the environment, health, and economic welfare of the small country’s indigenous peoples.

We also protest at Vandenberg because the soldiers assigned to launch our nation’s nuclear ICBMs are trained at the base.

Many of us have protested at Vandenberg for decades. We are old and young. We are Asian, black, brown, Native American, Pacific Islander, and white. We are agnostics, atheists, Buddhists, Catholics, Jews, Protestants, and Quakers. Some of us are military veterans of wars; others are lifelong pacifists. Many of us have been arrested during our peaceful protest at Vandenberg. Some of us have gone to prison; one of us went before the U.S. Supreme Court.

We are all one in our opposition to the possession of nuclear weapons by any nation, foremost our own. We are also one in our love for humanity, and we hope that our nation will one day rid itself of its nuclear arsenal and authentically lead other nations to join it.

Until that day, we continue our protest.

The 91 cosigners of this commentary have all protested at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

They come from 11 states (and the District of Columbia) and both coasts of our country, and include such notable national figures as Daniel Ellsberg, actor Martin Sheen, peace activist Sister Megan Rice, author Father John Dear, and David Krieger, founding executive director of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.

founding fathers of the first Fiesta parade in 1924, at El Paseo courtyard

anta Barbara’s longest-reigning spirit of Fiesta has never twirled a flamenco skirt or fluttered a Spanish fan.

It is the horse, with its head held high, its coat gleaming under the August sun, that has always captured the deeper meaning of the Old Spanish Days celebration — an ode to the Californio culture, where horses were loved second only to family. As one historian of Santa Barbara’s Fiesta explained it, Old Spanish Days was never meant to be an exacting reproduction of that time between the Chumash civilization and the arrival of the Yankees, but instead “an attempt to capture the essential spirit of the time”— the time when California was controlled

by Spain and then Mexico, when Spanish was the language spoken, and when Santa Barbara was a close-knit pueblo where people dressed with flair, where music and singing were heard in every home, and where horses were honored and glorified.

And that honor is well deserved, considering the remarkable evolutionary history of the horse, which originated in North America about two million years ago, long before any conquistador, señorita, or vaquero ever stepped foot here.

Heading into Fiesta’s 94th annual Desfile Histórico — one of America’s largest and most breed-diverse equestrian parades — ponder this thought: Modern humans originated in Africa about 300,000 years ago and first made their way to this continent between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago over the Bering land bridge between Russia and Alaska. But the horse — Equus caballus by its scientific name — is actually from here, a true native, and has managed to successfully adapt and survive on this planet for almost two million years despite great odds.

That’s one spirited animal.

world-class equestrian parade in the first Fiesta in 1924 — would not have known that the horses they so revered were actually native sons and daughters. Science had not quite pinned down the evolutionary lineage of the horse by then.

But fossil records for the horse are among the most well-documented and well studied in the world. When mitochondrial DNA analysis showed up on the scientific scene in the 1970s, things got even clearer.

Researchers say that about 1.8 million-2 million years ago, a threetoed “proto” horse in North America evolved into the first modern horse, Equus caballus, which essentially looked and behaved like the horses we know today. Single-hoofed herd animals grazing on the vast, open grasslands, they were built for speed.

During that two-million-year span, some horses — including a long-headed Equus species endemic to the area we now know as California — decided to pack it up, perhaps looking for greener pastures, and migrated north, over the Bering land bridge into Eurasia.

Good thing they did, because that wanderlust saved the horse species.

Paleontologists determined that about 8,000-10,000 years ago, a massive extinction took place in North America, wiping out the horse and other mammals, such as the wooly mammoth and camel, possibly due to a changing climate or the impact of newly arrived human hunters. Those horses that had hiked across the Bering land bridge were the only Equus caballus survivors. They went on to build Alexander’s empire, to fight battles with the Romans, and, through up-breeding, to evolve into the fine breeds we know today.

‘The Spaniards wanted to keep the power of horses for themselves — and with good reason. When Native peoples acquired horses … they quickly became superior riders and used their horses to fight off the European invaders for years.’

Some of them would become protein for the European and Asian diet. Some pulled the farmer’s cart to market for thousands of years.

And some would come back home.

The Spaniards brought many things with them on their voyages to the New World. In their arsenal: their religion, language, culture, and weapons and the mighty horse. In Spain, both the Christian and the Moor doted on their horses. Later explorers like Columbus and Cortés relied fiercely on their steeds, using them for work and transportation and to dominate the indigenous people they encountered living here, who had never seen a horse. According to multiple accounts describing the conquest, the Spaniards spread rumors that horses were magical beasts to be feared.

It’s no wonder Old Spanish Days’ first presidente and parade chair, Santa Barbara pillar Dwight Murphy, insisted that the horse be cast in the spotlight during the opening festivities.

In Edward A.

COVER STORY

Graham Goodfield’s grandmother Catherine Rogers Goodfield on her horse, Nelly, prepping for the Fiesta parade in 1928

he knows one very important rule about horses in parades: “Don’t freak them out!”

“Some people think of horses as big dogs, but horses are flight animals, and they’ll take off if they get spooked,” said Powers. “This parade is a mile-long trek, uphill, with the road narrowing in on them, and lots of noise and chaos and big crowds. They have to be able to handle the terrain.”

They may all belong to the same species, but Powers said horses are often unique in their personalities and dispositions.

“Horses start to emulate their owners’ personalities: You’ve got the divas, the sweethearts, the shy ones, the proud and stubborn ones,” said Powers, who will have a team of 75 volunteer marshals along the parade route, and 40-plus outriders who are expert equestrians who come to the rescue if the horses get spooked or sidetracked.

William Luton Jr., an avid horseman who was presidente in 1988, is a ninth-generation Santa Barbaran and a descendent of the first commander of the Spanish Presidio, José Francisco Ortega. Luton’s appreciation for the horse is deep-rooted.

“They used to say, ‘Good horse, good dog, good wife; you can’t ask for any more in life,’” Luton said with a chuckle. Growing up here, he said, Fiesta felt like one big, long, successful family gathering, with all the colorful stories and occasional shenanigans to keep things interesting. “We used to have a group of Texas longhorns in the parade. We’d load them up in the morning and dump them down on the beach,

by Fess Parker, and they’d lumber up State Street, with their massive horns swaying.

It was quite a sight to see. That was a long time ago. We had to stop that. Back in the day, you’d see a rider take his horse into a

bar and order a margarita. Me, I’d never do that. I met my waitress at the door.”

It’s true. Some things have changed.

“Horses used to be a way of life here, but they are more of a hobby for people now, an outlet for recreation,” commented Graham Goodfield, owner of Los Padres Outfitters, whose grandmother rode in the first Fiesta parade. Goodfield’s Carpinteria operation will provide 30-40 horses that we’ll see in Friday’s event, including a buckskin quarter horse ridden by this year’s presidenta, Denise Sanford.

Goodfield, a voting member of the Rancheros Visitadores, and his wife, Hannah Goodfield, are working to keep many of the early equestrian traditions alive, and that starts with appreciation of the special relationship between humans and horses.

“A true horseman respects his horse and treats him with the utmost care. Santa Barbara was really the mecca for a kind of horsemanship that spread all over the country, and it’s really something worth preserving today.”

From the scientific perspective, horses can teach us many things, Hoffman said.

“The horse has given so much to our civilization, and it’s a bit ironical that some don’t realize the complexity of their contributions,” Hoffman said, explaining that along with helping us build our communities, excellent, complete fossil records have helped us understand how our planet has evolved.

Early scientists who had attempted to solve the puzzle of the horse’s true evolutionary history made a few blunders along the way. As Williams explains in The Horse, it was once thought that “the horse was a gift from the Old World to the New”; the horse, however, was actually a gift to the Old World from the New. n

buoys. It’s in a classroom on the dock, but don’t worry, you will get plenty of time on the water during day two.

Once out of the harbor, we began the core exercises that would turn us from landlubbers into fledgling sailors — man overboard and docking. In ASA 101, you learn to tack, jibe, and trim your sails, but you don’t practice them all by themselves. As with knots, everything you learn comes in the context of an exercise that shows how it is used. For coming about and sailing on a specific course, there’s the man-overboard “figure eight.” For tacking, jibing, and knowing the rules of the road, there’s docking. Each drill presents a particular challenge, and neither is easy. Fortunately, manoverboard drills, which are conducted at sea, do not require that anyone leave the boat. The “man” is an orange lifejacket, and Quincy keeps throwing “him” overboard until you are ready to say, “Forget it; let him swim.” I found the manoverboard drill the most deeply satisfying thing we learned.

Here’s why.

If you can’t consistently go back and get someone who fell overboard, sailing ceases to be a recreational activity and becomes Those are all totally different from watching someone else more like aquatic roulette. The figure-eight technique we tie one and then following their instructions. That’s why you learned requires discipline and teamwork. Like many of the most important things in sailing, it’s both counterintuitive practice.

A lot of things have changed since my days hiking to — you have to sail directly away from the person for a sigwindward on Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay, and one of nificant distance in order to eventually save them — and is the most impressive improvements is the electric outboard unforgivingly precise. Skip one step and you risk not only motor. Nearly silent, relatively tiny, and easy to master, it failing to recover 1MOB; a false move could easily result in made launching from our tight inside slip a pleasure instead the catastrophic 2MOB.

Learning to Sail Sailing 101 at the Santa Barbara Sailing Center

T

he inspiring crescent of our city’s shoreline is one of the signature symbols of Santa Barbara; a great week of sailing instruction at the Santa Barbara Sailing Center turned my mental image of the waterfront upside down and inside out. Participating in one of Santa Barbara Sailing Center’s rigorous American Sailing Association (ASA) certification courses also taught me something new about the joy of encountering excellent instruction and the thrill of acquiring difficult new skills.

Skipper and Crew In order to earn the ASA certification that allows you to charter from Santa Barbara Sailing Center, along with many other such centers around the world, you have to take at least 20 hours of in-person instruction and pass both written and “road” proficiency tests. In practice, this means devoting three full days to learning to sail — two six-hour instructional days followed by an eight-hour final with the written test in the morning, the “road” test at noon, and your group solo sail from 2 to 5 p.m.

The course is taught in groups of four, and that’s important because you must become a crew. Fortunately, I could not have been blessed with either a better skipper/instructor than Quincy Briscoe or a more able crew than my friend Wade Graham and the two young people we met through this experience, Michael, a recent Berkeley grad who manages a ranch in Goleta, and Annika, an undergraduate at Cal Poly and a whiz at all things nautical.

Although both Wade and I had done a significant amount of sailing as youths, Wade in particular having grown up windsurfing off Leadbetter Beach, we agreed that starting the ASA certification process from the beginning was the right choice. Hearing Quincy lay things out helped me remember what I had forgotten, and having him guide me through my first attempts in decades at handling a boat allowed me to relax and enjoy my turns at the helm. In 101, the object is to come out of day three capable of rigging and sailing anything up to 27 feet. Our vessel for this week of lessons was a classic J-24 sloop with a small electric outboard motor.

Day One: Knots and Landings

Knots are to sailing what code is to computing — there’s more to sailing than knots, but without them, you can’t do it at all.

Tying a knot correctly once or twice does not mean that you’ll tie it right the next time, and tying a knot under pressure, or without looking, or when you are in any way distracted?

Talking Old Spanish Days with La Presidenta of Santa Barbara’s 94th Fiesta

What is your greatest extravagance? That would be the dresses I have made each year for Fiesta. I have grown obsessed in recent years of looking at photos and having my dressmaker try to re-create them from a photo.

What is your current state of mind? At this moment, as we get closer to the week of Fiesta, I’m amazed at how fast time has gone, and in a few short weeks Fiesta will be over.

I’ve had so much fun and have met so many new people and made so many new friends.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

That is easy: my two boys, Connor, 25, and Kirby, 23. There is nothing I’ve done or

“I

had to find something that was important to Santa Barbara and to Fiesta but that I could also speak about from the heart,” explained Denise Sanford about this year’s Old Spanish Days’ theme, “Celebrate Traditions.”

As this year’s La Presidenta, Denise is the leader of the 94th edition of Santa Barbara’s most enduring cultural festival, commonly just called Fiesta. She acknowledges the importance of this year’s event after the recent tragedies and felt that the theme needed to be hopeful. “Fiesta shows the resilience of our community,” she shared. “We need to have something to look forward to.”

After 16 years on the Old Spanish Days board, Denise was tapped for the top role.

“I don’t like to be in the limelight, but at a certain point, it’s about the organization,” she said. “It’s an honor to do it, and this year is more important than ever.”

Denise is a VP and community banking manager for Community West Bank and is active in several nonprofit boards around Santa Barbara. Becoming the president of Fiesta is a three-year process. The first step is becoming the second vice president, which puts you in charge of fundraising, and then comes being the first vice president, in charge of operations. “We all mentor each other,” she said.

For many years, Denise was heavily involved with the dancers, watching their rehearsals closely. But this year, the dances will be a complete surprise for La Presidenta.

She’ll also be atop a horse in the parade this year; she explained, “I’ve been seriously learning how to ride.”

could do to top the achievement of being a mother and raising two incredible men.

What is your greatest fear? Losing one of my children.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Being afraid of failing. I suppose I would have tried to be a bigger risk-taker in certain aspects of my life and been more assertive.

What is your most treasured possession? I actually have four. My grandmother gave me a diamond cross necklace along with a strand of pearls with a letter she wrote about how she came to get them before I got married.

They were special gifts given to her by my grandfather, who passed away when I was a baby, so I never got to meet him.

Another treasured possession is my other grandmother’s sterling silverware, and, lastly, my most recent treasured possession is a diamond necklace my late father had designed and made for my mother one Christmas as a surprise. She knew how much I loved what my father had done for her and how beautiful the necklace was; she gifted it to me recently at Christmas.

On what occasion do you lie? I will always lie not to hurt someone’s feelings unless the truth would add value. I once heard if what you have to say doesn’t bring value to someone, you shouldn’t tell them the truth about whatever it is.

Celebrate Fiesta, Loquita-Style

he trendsetting cuisine of today’s Spain is certainly much evolved from when José de la Guerra left his hometown of Novales near Santander in 1792 and started his trek to becoming one of Santa Barbara’s founding fathers. Yet he’d likely find nostalgic similarities, from the fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables that are so central in modern Spanish cuisine to the sherries and zesty wines from his homeland that are again catching popularity across the world.

As Old Spanish Days kicks off this week, we turn to Loquita (202 State St.), the only adamantly Spanish restaurant in town, for some suggestions on how to celebrate Fiesta. “Old Spanish Days Fiesta in Santa Barbara brings everything home at Loquita since our restaurant is inspired by the colorful Spanish heritage of our beautiful city,” said the restaurant’s GM, Cassie Foster. “This festival gives us an opportunity to celebrate with paella, tapas, sangria, and so much more. Plus, the flamenco dancing really gets the party going!”

She shares the restaurant’s recipe for Verduras Paella (veggie-style) and a couple of sangrias below. And if you’d rather let the Loquita team do the work for you, buy a $75 ticket ($25 for kids 12 and under) to watch the Fiesta parade from the restaurant on Friday, August 3, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m., while eating paella, sipping on sangria, and watching your kids make casacarones. And if you’d just like to see some Santa B arbara dancing with a glass of vino, Loquita’s own’s Sole ers are again hosting the Zermeño Dance Academy in free performances that Saturday at 1 and 5:45 p.m. outside the Santa Barbara Wine Collective (131 Anacapa St., Ste. C), which will be selling wine by the glass. See loquitasb.com.

“I’m convinced it was the honey that won the contest for us,” Graham said. “Over 75 percent of our crops depend on honeybees. After the fire, the bees are bringing Santa Barbara back to life with their pollination. We definitely couldn’t do it without them. That’s why we won, the bees.”

But the Fuerte is not just a one-hit wonder for the Biltmore, whose rejuvenated cocktail menu features an ensemble of new cocktails.

There’s the Purple Rain, with butterfly pea teainfused Cutler’s gin, lemon juice, and bitters; the Tamarind Margarita, with El Silencio mezcal, tamarind pulp, and sweet-and-sour mix; and the Jalapeño Blossom, with jalapeño-infused Casamigos Plata, pineapple juice, cucumber, and homemade grenadine syrup with a chililime salt rim. One of their popular cocktails does remain on the menu—as Graham said, they “simply couldn’t get rid of” the Raspberry Smash, with Beluga Noble vodka, muddled raspberries, sparkling wine, and a sugared rim.

“It’s nice for us to come back strong and see that we’re running with it, a silver lining,” said Graham. “We’re going to take anything positive from this we can. It gave us a chance to spruce some things up and reinvent and redesign and restore and just come back stronger than ever.”

SANTA BARBARA

FOOD & DRINK

Official Drink of Santa Barbara, as the mixology team from the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore won the second annual cocktail competition sponsored by Visit Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Independent. The drink — which combines Cutler’s bourbon, strawberry purée, lemon juice, and Thomas Fire honey, garnished with a sprig of fresh lavender from the hotel chef ’s garden — was created by Ty Lounge bartender Sam Graham. A surprisingly light and refreshing drink, and not bourbon heavy, the Fuerte has been sold more than 500 times since winning the contest and is being exceptionally well received.

“Fuerte is the Spanish word for ‘strong,’ and with the #Montecito[Strong] and #805Strong hashtags going around, that was our inspiration for the name,” said Graham, whose drink complies with the rule of including a landmark in the title. “We celebrated our 90th year last year and have been a landmark in the community for a very long time.”

When the Thomas Fire closed the resort, Graham spent her downtime researching seasonal produce and learned about Nick Wigle of Super Bee Rescue in Carpinteria. Together, they found a source of honey made by bees rescued from the fire, and Graham believes that special ingredient tipped the contest in their favor.

This lager fittingly skanks along smoothly with just a hint of thrilling malice; the malts are just a bit maltier than an actual Mexican beer, and while someone with taste buds blown out by über-IPAs might go “meh,” there’s a bit more hop bite than is typical for the style, too.

Honest Poetry GSM 2016

W

Sip This

hat pours from the bottle is certainly

honest, but the claim “bottled by Swordplay Wines, Buellton” is at the least a tad deceptive, for the winemaker is the über-talented Doug Margerum.

Therefore you could cheekily consider his latest project M2.04, if you wanted to fit it into his usual line of Margerum Wines vino — it’s 74 percent grenache and 25.96 percent syrah, with that remaining dash of mourvèdre just enough to call it a GSM. Given the grapes come from what’s reputed to be a noted but legally unmentionable Santa Ynez Valley vineyard, it’s little surprise this is a Rhône lover’s delight, bright yet dark fruit (something cherry-raspberry, say) but with lots of grip and spice. It has a true sense of balance and control and is perfect to pair with pretty much anything from your grill, from T-bone to eggplant.

It’s available for purchase at Savoy Wines — George Yatchisin (18 W. Anapamu St.).

ONTHEATRE THEFESTIVAL VERGE blind” and that create space for a diverse group of performers to take on dignified roles that explore the world beyond white, middle-class, coastal folk. Company member and performer Terry Li described this artistic choice as “something that’s been a part of the OTV mission since day one. OTV creates the opportunity for this work by not just bringing in playwrights we want to hear from but by creating an opportunity for actors of color, like myself, to have a space to say what I want to say. I can’t find that anywhere else.”

After three successful years, this community-based theatrical festival keeps going strong. “It’s intrinsic to our mission to have a company that reflects and engages with the community,” said Artistic Director Kate Bergstrom. “This year’s company is full of students, actors, and makers of all ages from local schools, alumni traveling back, new professional actors, the awesome CAW team, and more.” Bergstrom added that this year’s festival is smaller and more focused than years past, with only two works. “We aren’t adding any frills this year and looking forward to the unique season—we think the work will be extraordinary.”

Bergstrom, who graduated from Brown University and Trinity Repertory Company with an MFA in directing, looks forward to continuing the On the Verge Festival in Santa Barbara, her hometown, in the future. The team has already begun considering the details of their next season. “OTV is [my] home base,” she said.

“We look forward to building it stronger and more glorious than ever before once I’ve had a year out of graduate school to prepare.”

NEW PLAYS AND FRESH PERSPECTIVES BY UP-AND-COMING THEATER PROFESSIONALS

uring the doldrums of the theater “off-season,” the annual On the Verge Festival brings a burst of late-summer artistic vitality to the time of year usually reserved for drunken cascarón fights. This is the company’s fourth year in town presenting new plays and fresh perspectives written, directed, produced, and performed by area up-and-coming theater professionals. On the Verge (OTV) is aptly named—its mission is to find hot-offthe-press, provocative plays that discuss the current social moment. This year’s selections include a reading of the play Athena by Gracie Gardner (directed by Kate Bergstrom), about the competitive Kate Bergstrom friendship/rivalry between two fencing students, and a production of Trouble in Kind by Caridad Svich (directed by Josiah Davis), about a working-class community recovering after a horrific (and personal) trauma. The productions will take place at the Community Arts Workshop (CAW) on Garden Street.

The mainstage production, Trouble in Kind, is one of seven plays written by Svich in the last year. The series, titled American Psalm, explores the blue-collar American experience from a numAthena ber of cultural viewpoints throughout the country. “That’s the seed of where these different plays are coming from,” said director Davis. “Caridad is pinpointing the emotional landscape of working-class Americans around the country and doing it in a way that is poetic and mythological.” Davis said Trouble in Kind, which takes place in the bayou, explores the aftermath of a hate crime, the ripple effect it has in the surrounding community, and how people heal and move forward. “Caridad’s play does a very good job of having a message that we don’t hear every day—a message of hope that breaks through the trauma we’re all feeling,” said Davis.

On the Verge’s artistic team opts to proJosiah Davis duce playwrights’ works that aren’t “color-

Richard Schloss Fiesta offers folks a chance to celebrate the Spanish and Mexican influences in our town — including flamenco dancing, ethnic food and drink, history, and horses. The weeklong event is also a good time to celebrate the beauty of the landscape and architecture that make Santa Barbara such a beautiful place to live.

On 1st Thursday (Aug. 2), the newly opened gallery Santa Barbara Fine Art is offering an artistic look at the town and culture. “[The show] is in the spirit of Old Spanish Days, and we will have paintings of Santa Barbara and surrounding areas as seen through local artists’ eyes and in their work,” said Julie Schloss, who owns the gallery with her husband, Richard Schloss, a well-known plein air artist. Called Viva Santa Barbara, the show features Richard Schloss, Marsha McDonald, John Wullbrandt, Arturo Tello, Michael Enriquez, Heather Gordon, and Carrie Givens.

Pop in to the gallery for a peek at fine-art representations of Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara Fine Art is located at 1324 State Street. Call 845-4270.

Guided by respected area artist Dane Goodman, who works in myriad media, folks will get tips on how to freehand a picture of the artwork in front of them. The event is Thursday, August 9, 5:30-6:30 p.m., and has space for 10 people. All materials will be provided.

Meet at “SundayPapers”(1975) in the exhibitionSummer Nocturne: Works on Paper from the 1970s.

OJAI

PLAYWRIGHTS CONFERENCE 2018

I

n recent years, we tend to think of digital media as the fastest, most immediate form of communication, and in most ways we are right.

Yet live theater delivers something that no digital experience can match — a living, breathing human presence right in the room with you — and can rival even viral videos when it comes to responding in real time to the outside world. Take, for example, Vicuña, the 2016 drama by Jon Robin Baitz. In August of that year, the play was part of the Ojai Playwrights Conference, and on October 23, it premiered at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles.

With its tight focus on a blustering real estate tycoon turned reality television star who improbably winds up becoming his party’s candidate for president of the United States, Vicuña was one play in August 2016; another in October, when audiences outside Ojai got a look at it; and yet a third, very different show just two weeks later, after the current occupant of the White House was elected. Same words and actions throughout, but with an entirely different, some would say more ominous significance as history progressed around it. Try obtaining that kind of resonance with a tweet.

The theme of this summer’s Ojai Playwrights Conference New Works Festival, which runs August 5-12, is “Breaking Light,” an image that festival director Robert Egan chose because he sees this year’s playwrights as “breaking through the darkness of division, despair, and polarity and lighting the way toward compassion, inclusion, and hope.” It’s an aspirational, even optimistic message, but don’t mistake this for a sign of any softening in the material.

OPC remains as tough-minded, as confrontational, and as irreverent as it has been from the beginning, and as it was in 2009, when Stephen Adly Guirgis showed up with something he

called The Motherfucker with the Hat — which, by the way, went on to Broadway and picked up six Tony Nominations in 2011.

Baitz is back in 2018, as is Ojai stalwart Bill Cain, whose Road to Glory will be featured as part of an evening titled “Ignition: New Work for a New World,” which will take place in Ojai’s Matilija Auditorium on Thursday, August 9. Other elements of that evening include the acting talents of Suits star Patrick J. Adams and a musical performance by the East L.A. Chicano rock group Quetzal.

The rest of the OPC programming will be presented in the intimate Zalk Theater at Besant Hill School, a great space for becoming totally absorbed in the language and action of new work. The festival culminates in a long weekend of readings that runs from 6 p.m. on Friday, August 10, through the same time slot on Sunday, August 12, with shows beginning as early as 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Egan takes particular pleasure in the representation of women playwrights that’s been achieved this season, with returning artists Alice Tuan presenting Cocks Crow, a new play about Americans trying to do business in China, and Ruby Rae Spiegel, whose Dry Land, a 2014 OPC project, went on to major success off-Broadway, introducing Blue Green, her latest exploration of the unlikely alliances and seemingly irreparable divisions that cut through contemporary culture.

In Steph Del Rosso’s 53% Of, a cast of women plays three distinct groups of people. In the opening scene, they are a group of women in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, awaiting the imminent arrival of the president, while in the next they are the husbands of those same women. In the final scene, they become a bunch of young people in Brooklyn preparing for some kind of protest.

It’s this kind of innovative thinking in theater that keeps the Ojai light breaking free.

(Due to Fiesta activities, there will be no Friday screening)

by Richie DeMaria TAKE ME TO THE MERCADOS: Viva la Fiesta! What a wonderful phrase —it means “no worries” for the rest of these old Spanish Days, translation notwithstanding. Worries shall be few for the music seekers of the town, as our famed mercados will be overflowing with the sounds and styles of Santa Barbara’s summer spirit.

Whether you prefer your mercados downtown or uptown, the stages of Mercado De la Guerra, Mercado del Norte, and Casa Cantina feature exciting evening lineups throughout the week. Following daytime dances from some of the best teams and troupes anywhere in the state, many 805 rock, soul, and cover band favorites will keep the party going at prime-time hours.

On Wednesday, August 1, Casa Cantina’s (15 E. De la Guerra St.) Official Unofficial Opening Night of Fiesta, per tradition, will get the party started at 5 p.m. with some of S.B.’s musical favorites: DJ Darla Bea, Mezcal Martini, DJ Zac Pike, and Spencer the Gardener. Kicking the week off at Mercado De la Guerra (De la Guerra Plaza) across the street, there’s KTYD’s Viva La Free Concert, which features S.B. rockers the Traveling Hurtados, Out of the Blue, and the The Tearaways, from 5 until 10 p.m. Up at Mercado del Norte, the Bryan Titus Trio and Redfish will start the Fiest-ivities off amid the swirling amusement rides and colorful booths at MacKenzie Park (State St. and Las Positas Rd.) on Wednesday, from 6 p.m. until close. If you get there earlier, be sure to check out the acoustic stage, where folks like the abundantly talented young Sofia Guerra (playing Wed., 3pm) will lend a soothing vibe throughout the mercado.

As the week goes on, Mezcal Martini brings the Latin jazz and the Heart & Soul Band brings the funk to De la Guerra on Thursday night, and Friday features surf rock and soul jazz from The Rincons and Heavy Hitters, respectively. As well, earlier that Friday, be sure to check out a set from 9-year-old Melody Hope and the Teen Star performances to follow, and catch a glimpse of some of S.B.’s brightest young talents. At Mercado del Norte, Thursday will get you dancing with the Soul Cats and Area 51, and Friday night will keep you smiling to the ever-rhythmic Anthony Prieto Band. Should you find yourself back at Casa Cantina, you’ll be pleased to hear King Zero’s reggae grooves on Friday at 6 p.m.

Saturday closes things out in grand style, with Cornerstone, the Kinsella Band, and The Bomb fueling the festivities until the perennial master of concert ceremonies Spencer the Gardener ensures the week ends on a high note over at Mercado De la Guerra. You must certainly not unlace your dancing shoes on Saturday night, as the week-ending sets of the UpBeat, La Boheme, and Elements will make for plenty of good grooving at Mercado del Norte.

Wherever you wind up, you’ll be sure to have a great time. See a full list of entertainment on the Old Spanish Days website, sbfiesta.org.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: For the many of us who will likely feel like zombies post-Fiesta, KCSB-FM will offer a movie we can relate to in a way we’ve never seen or heard it before. On Tuesday, August 7, at SBCAST (513 Garden St.), the community radio station welcomes to town famed cinephiles Morricone Youth, who will perform a live, reimagined soundtrack to the landmark horror flick Night of the Living Dead. Hailing from New York, the underground rock band has been reinterpreting and rescoring movies and television shows for years. We, the lucky viewers, get to enjoy this live rescore of the George Romero classic in SBCAST’s large courtyard, making it a perfect midweek movie experience. Best of all, it’s free and open to all. n Showtime is 8 p.m.

SECOND LIFE: This suspenseful British series takes viewers into the virtual world of Azana through a lonely video-game addict named Leila (Tallulah Haddon).

KISS ME FIRST

Narratively Stimulating Series Explores Technology and Escapism

I

t’s been bemoaned that the extreme accessibility of a practically endless stream of entertainment media has watered down the overall quality of available content, but there are shining examples to the contrary.

Take British cyber thriller Kiss Me First (available on Netflix), for instance. The series takes viewers into the virtual multiplayer role-playing-game universe of Azana, where people from all over the world plug in and participate in a consequence-free pseudoexistence. This six-episode arc is aesthetically and narratively stimulating and offers a viewpoint on addiction to technologies of escapism that is responsible yet provocative.

The point-of-entry character into this universe is Leila (Tallulah Haddon), known in Azana as Shadowfax. Leila escapes into her virtual life to cope with the difficulty of caring for her terminally ill mother, and then to mute the grief of her mother’s death.

She discovers a small coven of players in a mysterious, previously inaccessible sector of the game and tentatively joins the pack of self-described misfits. These characters hold the burden of trauma and come to Azana for solitude and companionship rather than the simulated ultraviolence enjoyed by the rest of the Azana players.

The hidden sector, called “Red Pill,” was apparently conceived as a peaceful place of lush beauty for like-minded gamers, but the small community is dangerously cultish. The leader, Adrian (Matthew Beard), bestows upon his chosen disciples a gift: a piece of technology, worn like a collar, that the player wears in the real world when they log into Azana, allowing the wearer to feel emotions and sensations to an extreme degree in both the real and VR worlds. Adrian has promised his followers an ultimate reward, a real-life version of Red Pill where they can all be together after abandoning the encumbrances of their “real” lives.

Shadowfax isn’t convinced and reaches out to other members of the group in the real world, including Tess (Simona Brown), known in Azana as Mania, a young woman

disturbed by mental illness and cast out by her family. Shadowfax desperately tries to convince the group to abandon their allegiance to Adrian and seek help for the emotional turmoil that has brought them to follow a dangerous sociopath — especially after Adrian begins manipulating players to their death in an attempt to turn his followers against Shadowfax. As the idyllic honeymoon of Red Pill fades into a dangerous game with a murderous puppet master, the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred, prompting consideration about the nature of existence in a world of online avatars.

At least half of each episode is spent within Azana, a vivid fantasy world that illustrates the comfort and seductive appeal of this particular type of escapism, especially for these characters, who suffer from mental illness, grief, antisocial tendencies, or having survived abuse. By comparison, the real world is depicted as grungy and oppressively urban, with the glaring disquiet of true consequences in every scene.

Kiss Me First addresses mental illness and addiction, specifically to escapist technology, in a conscientious, genuine way, and offers a judgment-free exploration of a culture of self-medication through diversion. And while the show uses the problems associated with dependence on technology to fuel the story’s narrative tension, it also sends a positive message about the importance of real-life connection in the non-virtual world. The characters, especially Leila/Shadowfax, experience an emotional awakening in the end that suggests an equally strong second season, in which the temporarily vanquished Adrian promises fresh terror on the horizon.

Kiss Me First is a beautifully constructed thriller with intriguing characters who feel authentic, even when presented as virtual characters in a computer-generated universe.

A charismatic thriller with room to run, the series offers commentary about finding pleasure and mitigating pain through the lens of society’s ever-increasing obsession with and dependency on technology. — Maggie Yates

➤ O Blindspotting

(95 mins., R)

Movies about friendships between black people and white people have a hard time not being full of platitudes, but Blindspotting is no The Blind Side. The movie centers on Collin, who is black, and Miles, who is white, longtime friends living in their hometown of Oakland. Played by cowriters Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, respectively, the two men are waiting out Collin’s last three days of felony probation amid a city transforming with an influx of young white professionals. Diggs and Casal take up the strands of ongoing popular dialogues about racial justice and its relationship to spatial struggles and render them in freestyle verse to craft an operatic cat’s cradle. There’s tragedy, there’s farce, and there’s a moral to the story: In Blindspotting, true racial solidarity finds its limits in friendship and its economy of gratitude, and it’s made apparent that only white people win in the politics of respectability. (AT) Fiesta 5 Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot (114 mins., R) Gus Van Sant directs this film about the late John Callahan, who became a renowned cartoonist after a car accident left him a quadriplegic.

O RBG O Incredibles 2

(118 mins., PG)

Finally, 14 years after Pixar unleashed The Incredibles, the paragon animation studio has released the long-awaited sequel, Incredibles 2. The high expectations for the follow-up to such an iconic film — especially after more than a decade — can be both its bane and its attraction. Fortunately, 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) Fiesta 5

Leave No Trace (109 mins., PG) Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie star in this survival story about a veteran and his daughter who live off the grid in a park in Portland, Oregon, until one day they are discovered.

The Hitchcock

➤ Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (114 mins., PG-13) Taking place five years after the original film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again brings us back to the island of Kalokairi for round two of the ABBA-inspired musical. Directed by Ol Parker (Now Is Good), the film gathers most of the original cast for its continuation story, plus Lily James (Baby Driver) as young Donna and Cher in a small role. The sequel tells its story through a combination of present-day characters and their past, younger counterparts, showing young Donna’s journey on Kalokairi before the birth of her daughter, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) and, in the present, Sophie’s attempt to rebuild her mother’s hotel on the island. At times characters and events filter in and out of the story for the novelty of relating to the music. While this adds some aha! moments, it often feels jolting and distracts a little bit from the story. Still, while Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again maintains the silly, happy style of the original movie, it’s probably most enjoyable for diehard Mamma Mia! and ABBA fans. (NS)

(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, operaloving seeker of justice — who happens to be a woman. (JW) Riviera (Sat.-Sun., Aug. 4-5, 12:30pm)

O Sorry to Bother You

(105 mins., R)

Words are not enough to describe Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You. The director manages to spin a hurricane of strange, gripping, dada-esque events into a stirring spotlight on the problems prevalent in our capitalist culture. The film follows Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield, Get Out) as he lands a job as a telemarketer in Oakland, California, and lives off the meager commission he earns. However, he hopes to one day move up to the top floor of the office building and make the big bucks as a power caller. His dream begins to come true when he learns a vocal trick from a fellow African-American colleague. After modulating his voice, Stanfield’s sales drastically increase. Sorry to Bother You turns a simple premise on its head, creating a gripping and entertaining story. And although it seems paradoxical, the strangeness of the film is all too realistic, making this a film you should not miss. (NS) Paseo Nuevo Teen Titans Go! to the Movies (88 mins., PG)

The superheroes from the TV series move to the big screen in this animated comedy. Distraught by the fact that every DC superhero has their own film, the ragtag crew searches for a director who will make a film about them.

Fairview/Fiesta 5

➤ O Three Identical Strangers (96 mins., PG-13)

On his first day of college, Robert Safran was mistaken for Eddie Galland.

That same night, Robert drove all the way to Eddie’s house to discover that they were, in fact, twins. They connected immediately, and when a news-

paper ran their story, a third stranger, David Kellman, came “out of the woodwork” as the third triplet. And they were delighted and inseparable — at first. The documentary portrays the adult lives of the three men who discover by chance that they are identical triplets who were separated at birth. In the 1980s, the brothers’ heartwarming reunion became an instant and well-chronicled media sensation, which turned disturbing when they realized they were part of a group of identical siblings separated by an adoption agency as part of a psychological study that remains unpublished to this day. Using archival footage, dramatic reenactments, and investigative interviews and research, the documentary poses the “nature versus nurture” question and explores the enduring consequences of institutional overreach through the adult lives of the reunited triplets. Like Diane Arbus’s unsettling photographs of identical siblings, this film refracts the inherit uncanniness of the triplets and their story and complicates our notion of the conditions that make us who we are.

O Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

(93 mins., PG-13)

No contemporary American media personality has attended to the special needs of children with the singular respect, tenderness, and tenacity that Fred Rogers did in the three-odd decades that Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood aired on PBS. With Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, director Morgan Neville and his team capture the potency of Rogers’s voice through touchstones from his series, behind-the-scenes footage, and recent interviews with his family, friends, and collaborators. The documentary is a fluid blend of biography and cultural history. Incidentally released with the aggressive expansion of immigrant family separation, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? incites viewers to reflect on the integrity and vulnerability of childhood. How a society treats children—all of them, regardless of origin—is a hallmark of its overall moral and ethical orientation.

Neville’s film reminds us that Fred Rogers would no doubt have crumbled at the notion that some children’s well-being must be sacrificed for the future of others’. And in its measured portrait of Rogers’s philosophy, it nudges us toward a framework for thinking otherwise. (AT) The Hitchcock

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny CANCER

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I predict that August will be a Golden

Age for you. That’s mostly very good. Golden opportunities will arise, and you’ll come into possession of lead that can be transmuted into gold. But it’s also important to be prudent about your dealings with gold. Consider the fable of the golden goose. The bird’s owner grew impatient because it laid only one gold egg per day; he foolishly slaughtered his prize animal to get all the gold immediately. That didn’t work out well. Or consider the fact that to the ancient Aztecs, the word teocuitlatl referred to gold, even though its literally translation was “excrement of the gods.” Moral of the story: If handled with care and integrity, gold can be a blessing.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus socialite Stephen Tennant

(1906-1987) was such an interesting luminary that three major novelists created fictional characters modeled after him. As a boy, when he was asked what he’d like to be when he grew up, he replied, “I want to be a great beauty.” I’d love to hear those words spill out of your mouth, Taurus. What? You say you’re already all grown up? I doubt it. In my opinion, you’ve still got a lot of stretching and expansion and transformation to accomplish during the coming decades. So yes: I hope you can find it in your wild heart to proclaim, “When I grow up, I want to be a great beauty.” (P.S. Your ability to become increasingly beautiful will be at a peak during the next 14 months.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Manage with bread and butter until

God sends the honey,” advises a Moroccan proverb.

Let’s analyze how this advice might apply to you. First thing I want to know is, have you been managing well with bread and butter? Have you refrained from whining about your simple provisions, resting content and grateful? If you haven’t, I doubt that any honey will arrive, either from God or any other source. But if you have been celebrating your modest gifts, feeling free of greed and displeasure, then I expect at least some honey will show up soon.

(June 21-July 22): Don’t worry your beautiful head about praying to the gods of luck and fate. I’ll take care of that for you. Your job is to propitiate the gods of fluid discipline and hard but smart work. To win the favor of these divine helpers, act on the assumption that you now have the power and the right to ask for more of their assistance than you have before. Proceed with the understanding that they are willing to provide you with the stamina, persistence, and attention to detail you will need to accomplish your next breakthrough.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Sometimes, I feel the past and the

WEEK OF AUGUST 1

Not really. In the coming days, life will be a good ride for you even if you fail to procure those indulgences.

But here are further questions and answers: Do you deserve the orchids, elixirs, and the rest? My answer is yes, definitely. And would the arrival of these delights spur you to come up with imaginative solutions to your top two riddles? I’m pretty sure it would. So I conclude this horoscope by recommending that you do indeed arrange to revel in your equivalent of the delights I named.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t try to steer the river,” writes

future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.” A character named Julia says that in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited.

I bring it to your attention as an inspiring irritant, as a prod to get you motivated. I hope it will mobilize you to rise up and refuse to allow your past and your future to press so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present. It’s a favorable time for you to fully claim the glory of being right here, right now.

Deepak Chopra. Most of the time, I agree with that idea.

It’s arrogant to think that we have the power to control the forces of nature or the flow of destiny or the song of creation. Our goal should be to get an intuitive read on the crazy-making miracle of life and adapt ourselves ingeniously to its ever-shifting patterns and rhythms.

But wait! Set aside everything I just said. An exception to the usual rule has arrived. Sometimes, when your personal power is extra flexible and robust — like now, for you — you may indeed be able to steer the river a bit.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m not an ascetic who believes all

our valuable lessons emerge from suffering. Nor am I a pop nihilist who sneers at pretty flowers, smiling children, and sunny days. On the contrary: I’m devoted to the hypothesis that life is usually at least 51 percent wonderful. But I dance the rain dance when there’s an emotional drought in my personal life, and I dance the pain dance when it’s time to deal with difficulties I’ve ignored. How about you, Virgo? I suspect that now is one of those times when you need to have compassionate heart-to-heart conversations with your fears, struggles, and aches.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you absolutely need orchids, sweet elixirs, dark chocolate, alluring new music, dances on soft grass, sensual massages, nine hours of sleep per night, and a steady stream of soulful conversations? No.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Dear Astrologer: Recently I’ve been weirdly obsessed with wondering how to increase my levels of generosity and compassion. Not just because I know it’s the right thing to do, but also because I know it will make me healthy and honest and unflappable.

Do you have any sage advice? —Ambitious Sagittarius.”

Dear Ambitious: I’ve noticed that many Sagittarians are feeling an unprecedented curiosity about how to enhance their lives by boosting the benevolence they express. Here’s a tip from astrologer Chani Nicholas: “Source your sense of self from your integrity in every interaction.” Here’s another tip from Anaïs Nin: “The worse the state of the world grows, the more intensely I try for inner perfection and power. I fight for a small world of humanity and tenderness.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time does not necessarily heal all

wounds. If you wait around passively, hoping that the mere passage of months will magically fix your twists and smooth out your tweaks, you’re shirking your responsibility. The truth is, you need to be fully engaged in the process. You’ve got to feel deeply and think hard about how to diminish your pain, and then take practical action when your wisdom shows you what will actually work. Now is an excellent time to upgrade your commitment to this sacred quest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The questions you’ve been asking aren’t bad or wrong. But they’re not exactly relevant or helpful, either. That’s why the answers you’ve been receiving aren’t of maximum use. Try these questions instead: (1) What experience or information would you need to heal your divided sense of loyalty? (2) How can you attract an influence that would motivate you to make changes you can’t quite accomplish under your own power? (3) Can you ignore or even dismiss the 95 percent of your fear that’s imaginary so you’ll be able to focus on the 5 percent that’s truly worth meditating on? (4) If I assured you that you have the intelligence to beautify an ugly part of your world, how would you begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): A scuffle you’ve been waging turns

out to be the wrong scuffle. It has distracted you from giving your full attention to a more winnable and worthwhile tussle. My advice? Don’t waste energy feeling remorse about the energy you’ve wasted. In fact, be grateful for the training you’ve received. The skills you’ve been honing while wrestling with the misleading complication will serve you well when you switch your focus to the more important issue. So are you ready to shift gears? Start mobilizing your crusade to engage with the more winnable and worthwhile tussle.

HOMEWORK: What was your last major amazement? What do you predict will be the next one?
