Affordable Housing Proposal Rejected

A

proposal to require that developers seeking approval for high-density rental housing projects rent up to 10 percent of their units at below-market rates —affordable to middle-income earners— went nowhere fast at City of Santa Barbara’s Planning Commission last Thursday. The commissioners rejected what’s known as the “inclusionary housing requirement” by a vote of 6-1. The commissioners found fault with a consultant’s report that indicated such requirements would be financially feasible and that developers would still be able to reap earnings of 5 percent. Developers and their agents said the report failed to accurately reflect the cost of construction, the cost of labor, the cost of land, and the cost of permitting.

The inclusionary requirement was proposed to ensure that the benefits of developments allowed special high densities and 10

relaxed parking requirements would accrue to a broader socioeconomic spectrum including the so-called “missing middle.”

Typically such developments, known as Average Unit-Size Density developments— AUDs — in the parlance of planning wonks, have targeted higher-income tenants making up the city’s upper middle class. Developers have complained such requirements would not be economically feasible. Some planning commissioners worry the requirement was in reality a political Trojan horse concocted by critics of the AUD program to cripple it. The commissioners demanded new and better information that better reflected the costs of doing business in Santa Barbara.

They also objected that discussions about inclusionary housing requirements should be part of a broader discussion about getting more high-density housing built downtown.

Pini Tenants Face Eviction After Flooding Toxic Mold Growth Sends 40 People to Motel Housing

by Jean Yamamura unlight streamed into Judge Colleen Sterne’s courtroom as attorneys gathered for convicted slumlord Dario Pini’s monthly compliance report, a stark contrast to the early-morning downpours of February 2 that flooded two of Pini’s properties. Five of his units on West Valerio and three at West Cota developed serious mold. Wet-couch-stuck-to-thewall mold, said the court-ordered property manager. When the mold tested toxic, the manager, Nancy Daniels, moved about 40 tenants to Motel 6 at a cost of roughly $4,000 per day. It may be late March before the walls are repaired; the moldy drywall has already been removed. Motel bills and ripping out drywall cost $283,000. Putting the walls back will cost even more.

Ever since Judge Colleen Sterne assigned William Hoffman the responsibility for upgrading eight of Dario Pini’s properties to code standards—and collecting the rents on them—an aggrieved Pini and his dogged attorney Paul Burns have counted the pennies being spent. Burns frequently complains Hoffman has “burned through” the $1.5 million or so Pini has had to hand over in rent, and of Hoffman’s fee and costs that Pini must pay. But the nearly $300,000 price tag shocked even the court. Sterne alternately praised Hoffman’s team for swiftly rehousing the tenants and berated them for not telling anyone until a month had passed. When the properties ran out of cash, Hoffman put it on his corporate credit card.

Hoffman is squarely in the middle of an epic 25-year battle between the City of Santa Barbara and Dario Pini, who owns more than 95 properties in the city. Pini has succeeded in outmaneuvering the city and its inspectors for decades, an agility perceptible at the receiver hearings since last spring.

City Attorney Ariel Calonne had succeeded last April in getting Hoffman appointed to handle the worst properties, after a protracted trial presided over by Judge Sterne.

She determined the abject condition of the properties posed a significant health threat.

A receivership like this one, imposed for Health & Safety Code reasons, means tenants get relocation benefits.

S

Hoffman, a 40-year veteran in the field, is accustomed to evicting tenants when extensive repairs mean an apartment must be emptied. It’s clear that Hoffman has been feeling his way through the new relocation practice. In court on Friday, arguments ensued over relocation costs: Who was a tenant versus a casual lodger under the Health & Safety language? Should tenants get a 60-day eviction? Or was that neither just nor fair?

Ultimately, Judge Sterne ordered Daniels to compile by next Friday a tenant report to determine who could receive relocation compensation. She similarly ordered Daniels to inform the tenants on this Friday that they could not continue to live at Motel 6 and to start making plans for other housing. Sterne stated, “We cannot put the receivership estate in charge of finding housing for all the tenants and send all the properties into the red with tenant issues.”

Six other properties are in the receivership, and Daniels, who has handled many for Hoffman, said more than once that the city’s permit process was unduly complicated. She’d had three meetings with the city on the Mission Street property, the first to undergo reconstruction; only recently had she learned that full architectural drawings were needed. Pini has always objected that a receiver from San Diego was appointed, and this was an “I told you so” moment for Burns.

The warring sides struggled through the other five properties; the sunlight left the courtroom as noon approached. On Los Aguajes, the construction bid is almost final, which prompted Burns to protest that only one bid was made and the same builder was being used on three properties. Matthew Moriarity, attorney for lender U.S. Bank, jumped in, tired of being quiet, saying this had “worn on so long.” The lender was ready to pay the contractor if Pini wouldn’t. “He shouldn’t be able to stop the receiver’s progress every step of the way,” Moriarity said.

Sterne told Hoffman to get multiple bids, including from Pini’s suggested contractors.

It was a matter of good faith to try, she said, though she couldn’t stifle a rueful laugh as she said it. n

Immigration has become a major political issue in the United States and a significant divide between the two major parties. The same is true in many other countries. Why? Historian Alister Chapman will explore this question, looking at the economic, political and geopolitical reasons why immigration has become so important for contemporary debate. He will compare the situation in the United States with that in the rest of the world and provide historical background that will help us understand not just the immigration question but also the way our world is changing under our feet.

n Santa Barbara’s ongoing cat-and-mouse campaign targeting homeless people, the City Council voted to remove two waterless fountains now adorning the 500 block of State Street because they constitute an “unattractive nuisance” by giving homeless people a place to perch. The council’s 6-0 vote came despite strong opposition from the Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC), which had voted 6-1 in support of the fountains, which commissioners deemed to be in keeping with the city’s historic character. The sole dissenting vote among the HLC—Commissioner Bill Mahan—opined that the homeless people who congregate by the fountains distract from the character of the Hotel Santa Barbara, which Mahan maintained was also historic.

The move to remove the fountains originated with Santa Barbara’s Downtown Parking Department, which also runs sev-

eral of the programs designed to discourage loiterers. Those efforts were stymied by the fountains by Hotel Santa Barbara, filled with dirt since the drought. A hotel security guard told councilmembers that homeless people smoke marijuana, curse, and congregate by the fountain, annoying hotel guests.

Independent photographer Paul Wellman encountered two congenial fountain folk, one of whom offered him some pot while the other lounged on the sidewalk. Two police officers approached, asked questions, and took names. No citations were issued.

In response to escalating complaints about homeless people, City Hall has been quietly rearranging the street furniture — bus-stop benches, downtown benches—to either remove resting spaces altogether or to reorient the benches to face the street as opposed to passersby on the sidewalk.

NEWS BRIEFS CONT’D FROM P. 9 The sciences at UCSB got a boost this week from U.S. News & World Report, which ranked two of its graduate programs among the top 10 in the country for 2020. Number one among public colleges was UCSB’s graduate research program in materials; it earned third place overall, only surpassed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Northwestern University, both private colleges. UCSB’s graduate chemical engineering program was ranked sixth among public schools, and number 10 overall. Its parent College of Engineering got a number 13 placement among public universities.

LAW & DISORDER Five people received citations for buying alcohol for a minor in a Sheriff’s Office sting conducted in Goleta and Isla Vista on 3/9. Standing outside a store, a “decoy” aged between 18 and 21 asked an entering customer to buy for them, informing the

individual that they were underage. Among the 67 asked, only five agreed, resulting in a ticket from awaiting deputies. The Santa Barbara program was paid in part through a grant from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control, which conducted the sting throughout California.

United States District Court Judge Stephen V. Wilson dismissed all six of Fair Education’s counts against Just Communities and the Santa Barbara Unified School District on a technicality.

Among other things, Fair Education alleged that Just Communities’ material is anti-Caucasian, anti-Christian, and anti-male. However, the group failed to identify an individual in their suit who suffered harm because of the alleged reverse-racist materials. The court also denied Fair Education’s motion to temporarily freeze the contract between the school district and Just Communities. Fair Education has until 4/8 to n submit an amended complaint.

proposed. In terms of regulatory burden and discretionary review, it’s night and day. It’s all but an over-the-counter permit.

Rotman and her fellow cannabis warriors clearly won the battle Tuesday, but the outcome of the broader war remains far from resolved. The ordinance conceptually endorsed by the supervisors jettisoned or weakened almost all the environmental mitigations called for in the environmental report for the hoops ordinance. The supervisors voted to allow hoops on much steeper terrain than even the planning commissioners recommended, and three times what environmental attorney Marc Chytilo had demanded. Chytilo is a very significant player in this melodrama because it was the mere threat of a lawsuit from Chytilo that

Rotman noted that her immediate neighbor grows broccoli, which she contended, ‘smelled like a big fart.’

stampeded the supervisors into conducting an environmental-impact report (EIR) in the first place. That EIR outlined eight significant impacts from hoop houses. Mitigations for all but one have been rejected, either by the supervisors or the planning commission.

Based on new information presented Tuesday by Sharyne Merritt, a farmer, marketing professor, and member of the county’s Agricultural Advisory Commission, that EIR drastically understated how much cannabis will be grown under hoops in Santa Barbara County. According to the EIR, there would be 67 acres of cannabis under hoops.

In reality, Merritt charged, there are county licenses for 689 acres’ worth of cannabisinfused hoops. In Sacramento, she said, there are license applications for 264 additional acres of hooped cannabis. County supervisors wondered whether this made the EIR vulnerable to legal challenge. They were told it was based on the best information available at the time and that no one really knew how many licensed acres would ever be planted.

It remains to be seen whether Chytilo throws a legal monkey wrench into the gears of the county’s gathering cannabis machine. With Santa Barbara County poised to become the epicenter for cannabis cultivation in the state of California — with nearly one third of all cultivation licenses in the state — the stakes n are nothing if not enormous.

Laurie Lynn Richardson was born in Walnut Creek, CA, the oldest of six children. She often helped with her younger siblings, a skill-set that served her well in her decades-long career as a teacher. Laurie graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education from California Lutheran University (then CLC) in 1980 and began teaching preschool in Santa Barbara.

Laurie and her first husband met soon after her move into town. They gave birth to twin girls in 1982. The family moved to Goleta just before the girls began grade school, and Laurie began her 32-year career at Good Shepherd Preschool. She also began attending Trinity Lutheran Church, where she was an active member, teaching Sunday School and volunteering at Transition House and Trinity Gardens. Her faith in God was expressed by caring for her wide community, be it in prayer, feeding, clothing, or teaching.

Laurie loved to travel. Lifetime highlights include Rome and taking the train to Chicago. She was an avid camper throughout her life. She loved to dance, swim, walk, and do yoga. Laurie participated in liturgical dance groups throughout high school, college, and as a young woman. She participated in races and triathlons through her forties and rode her bike to work into her fifties. She loved a long walk on the bluffs over the beach. She enjoyed water and could swim before she could walk, making the ocean one of her favorite places. Laurie was a prolific reader and writer throughout her life. She wrote poetry, journaled, and anyone close to her could count on regular cards and letters.

Celebrating retirement in May of this past year, Laurie was thrilled to travel and spend more time with her granddaughter, Iris.

Sadly and unexpectedly, Laurie passed away at the age of 60 after a brief illness, on December 29, 2018. Laurie is remembered with love by her daughters, Nicole (Aaron) Biergiel Laferriere and Jody (Renny) Biergiel Colclough; her granddaughter, Iris; her exhusband, Jim Biergiel; her mother, Shirley; her siblings, Dana Hart, Erika Valdivia, Matthew, Christopher, and Katrina RichardsonKeller and their partners; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Shawn was passionate about life, friends and family. He enjoyed deep sea fishing, mountain biking and the outdoors. He spent most of his days thinking of others and wondering when the next bar-bque would be. A celebration of life will be held by the family at a later date to be determined.

William Daryl Dominguez

01/27/49-03/07/19

William Daryl Dominguez (better known as Willie), 70, died Thursday March 7, 2019 at Cottage Hospital from his fourth bout with cancer. Willie was born January 27, 1949 in Santa Barbara, CA. Willie leaves behind his wife, Nancy Dominguez, and his son, Daniel Dominguez. He joins his mother Dorothy Dominguez and Father Joe Dominguez in paradise.

Although having his one biological son, many of his son’s friends considered him a father to them as well. He served in Vietnam as a helicopter mechanic and door gunner. Many would call him a curmudgeon, often due to his straightforward honesty and gruff speech, but to those who knew him best he was very loving and sincere. He was always ready to help a friend and support his family. Willie worked for the Goleta Union School District for 22 years as head mechanic. A celebration of life will be held at the Elks Lodge 150 N Kellogg Ave from 12:00pm to 4:00pm on Friday, March 15. It is with great sadness that the family of Willie announces his passing.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara in his memory.

Fire ant stings very distinctive, Entomologist Mike Raupp said. Mosquito bites usually go unfelt and only are noticeable when they begin itching. Fire ant bites are noticeable immediately. The bites begin as little red marks that turn into white pustules or blisters, Raupp said. They go away after several days unless they become infected. Some people have died from their bites.

Those who knew Marty and those lucky enough to have had the pleasure and honor to work with him might have predicted a much more grand, theatrical end — and loud — and funny somehow.

ased on Facebook responses, nothing energizes readers like housing issues.

Here we run a few of the many comments posted, edited for brevity. The Real Estate architecture column “Who Gets to Live in Santa Barbara?” elicited the following: Kendra Duncan O’Connor Once a munici-

pality loses local control over its planning & zoning you can kiss your quality of life goodbye. Santa Barbara will no longer be recognizable. There are resource constraints and there are access constraints that cannot be overlooked. If no one can afford to live here then who are all these people living here?

There will always be commuters because it will always be cheaper somewhere else.

We need to get over the notion that all these future residents are going to ride bikes or take public transportation. People are not going to stop driving cars because Santa Barbara is too spread out. • Teri Evans The economic realities of Santa Barbara revolve around it being a beautiful coastal town with a, usually, mild climate. There is a demand for that, and that demand sets the housing costs. There are other places with lower demand and lower housing costs. • Conrad Metzenberg Increasing housing density will only partially solve the problem. Current construction costs are $400/sqft; kitchens and baths are expensive square feet. A 250sqft unit (this is ridiculously small) will cost $100,000 to build at $400/sqft. This would have to rent for $950+.

Leslie Lausch Should be a housing village, á

la Hundertwasser’s in Vienna’s center, attracting students and grads who don’t want a car and prefer to bike and take public transportation. The sunken parking lot can be a transit hub, park and ride under the eco-centric village, with gardens, small businesses on the ground level and dense housing on top, promoting communal gardens and public facilities and rooftop parkland. A new modern vision is desperately needed in S.B. to promote and attract a younger generation to own their own businesses, live healthy, and promote community and diversity. • Bill Golgert Too much high density already! Will not bring down housing costs until such time as Santa Barbara is so congested, dehydrated, and deforested that no one wants to live here.

Ken Volok It’d make a great disco. • Melissa Herzog Don’t confuse high-density with low-income. A fancy pants grocery store is going in across the parking lot. Expensive condos are already built across the parking lot. Regardless, city needs to straighten out freeway access at La Cumbre now. Can’t have all that increase going through the light at State. • Luis Garcia Mixed use would be a great solution to the housing shortage in S.B. For anyone who thinks “it’s just not S.B.,” well, that ship has sailed. Make it a design competition, and open the challenge to Santa Barbara’s talented pool of architects.

• Anaisel Ramos Ugh. I’m tired of all these new expensive apartments that end up staying empty. Our retail out here is declining, and y’all want to bring in more wealthy

people and kick out the existing population.

y thanks for a cartoon that speaks volumes about the Roman Catholic Church’s protracted dithering over how to counter endemic clerical sexual abuse. As a “recovering Catholic,” my lapsed status may not entitle me to pray that the Church somehow survives its existential crisis. Still, I hope that Pope Francis soon confers with God, perhaps along these lines: Francis: “Holy Father, can you ever forgive me for having ignored rampant clerical molestations of minors?”

God: “Well, when you learned of these horrific crimes, why did you not take remedial action to prevent future violations of innocent youths?

Francis: “That would have made for bad press and soiled the Church’s divine image.”

God: “But your inaction abetted systemic cover-ups that trashed the Church’s credibility. What with our sacred tenets ever more doubted, where might we find enough credulous believers to carry on the faith?”

Francis: “Good question. Just one solution comes to mind: Open the priesthood—and the papacy — to upstanding women. Start with my successor.”

God: “Great suggestion. Your resignation is accepted. Go and sin no more.”

DACA Once More

W

hen President Trump terminated the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in 2017, Gerardo, a Santa Barbara resident, wrote to me, saying that “repealing DACA would take away the hopes and dreams that America represents.”

Gerardo has lived on the Central Coast for 14 years and works as a computer engineer—he is also a DACA recipient.

This week, House Democrats introduced the DREAM Act to renew that lost hope and provide certainty to thousands of families left in limbo after the president’s deeply misguided decision. HR 6, the Dream and Promise Act, grants DACA recipients a path to citizenship. It includes protections for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders. Even with their future in this country in question, 7,200 DACA-eligible Central Coast

Notice of Intent to Adopt Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration For the Classroom Building Project

residents continue to study and work every day as teachers, first responders, and small-business owners.

Most DACA recipients immigrated to this country at a young age, and it is the only home they’ve known.

I share a similar story, having immigrated to the United States with my parents as a 5-year-old boy.

My father was part of the Bracero Program, working in the fields of Oxnard to support our family. I remember very little about my time in Mexico, but I do remember my summers working alongside him.

I’ve felt with my own hands the value our agricultural workers bring to the Central Coast.

This country has given me the opportunity to serve my country in local government, our military, and now, as your representative in Congress. I hope we can give DACA recipients the same opportunity for progress that I was presented by this great nation.

Immigrants have long contributed to the strength and vibrancy of America. The DREAM Act will continue to uphold the invaluable promise of the American Dream.

he Disaster Prep Guide in the Independent last week compiles important community resources

and information. One of our most vital resources for those struggling with stress after a disaster is emotional support. It’s important to note that a critical contact number in the Mental Health section of the English version was printed incorrectly. The number for the County of Santa Barbara Department of Behavioral Wellness 24/7 Access Line on page 8 is (888) 868-1649.

While the shock experienced by our entire community in the aftermath of the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow may still feel like yesterday, our community has come a long way in our healing process.

Symptoms of stress experienced in response to a natural disaster, and in the case of our community, the many evacuations that have followed, may include anxiety, sadness, depression, and irritability. Stress can impact sleep, concentration, work, and relationships. We all respond differently to trauma and may have different levels of need and recovery time. And our situation is unique with the multiple evacuations continuing to assure safety. Different responses are completely normal.

Emotional support remains available. Whether it’s the anticipation of another evacuation, continued recovery from the impact last year, or the arising tax season that brings more stress to those affected by disaster, getting support is critical. Connect with family, friends, and others in the community. Take care of yourself and each other, and know when and how to seek help. The Behavioral Wellness Access Line is always — 24/7 — available: (888) 868-1649.

The Santa Barbara campus proposes to construct a new classroom building on the Main Campus at UC Santa Barbara south of the Davidson Library.

The project is to construct a four-story building with 53,700 assignable square feet and 95,250 gross square feet of floor area. The building would provide lecture halls and classrooms of various sizes, and associated support and accessory uses. Other elements of the Project include the removal of Temporary Building No. 408, the relocation of a bicycle path that crosses the project site, and the construction of new bicycle parking areas.

The Classroom Building IS/MND is available for public review at https:// www.facilities.ucsb.edu/departments/campus-planning-design/currentprojects under Current Projects, Main Campus, or upon request at the UC Santa Barbara Office of Campus Planning and Design.

THE WOLVES G

“

ood ideas come from everywhere,”

says Mark Booher, associate dean at Allan Hancock College and Artistic Director of the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts (PCPA). He’s talking about choosing plays, but he might just as well be expressing the mind-set of the great playwrights, past and present, whose scripts have earned enduring places in the repertoire.

Because nothing human is alien to the stage, theater, an art form that’s thousands of years old, continues to evolve. In recent times, that evolution has meant more stories by, for, and about women.

Take The Wolves, the fascinating new play that’s at PCPA’s Severson Theatre in Santa Maria through March 24. Sarah DeLappe’s award-winning 2016 drama follows a girls’ club soccer team through six weeks of a tumultuous indoor season. Each scene occurs in the warmup area of a bubblecovered playing field, where the performers stretch, practice, talk, and grow up. The script identifies cast members by number rather than by name, a deliberate artistic choice on the part of the playwright that has important consequences.

According to director Karin Hendricks, DeLappe “wanted it to be a huge choice,” adding that “it works very well.”

Bright-green synthetic turf covers Jason Bolen’s eyecatching set, and Elisabeth Weidner’s sound design pumps punkish riot-grrrl rock during the changeovers. The Wolves takes place in the present, somewhere in the American

New Play Meets Girls on Their Turf

suburbs. With its all-female cast and a fearless approach that depicts these nine young women as at once tender and profane, harsh and vulnerable, The Wolves quickly became the hottest new play to hit the American stage in recent years.

In order to better understand how one of the most talkedabout shows of the 2016 Off-Broadway season became a nationwide phenomenon, I traveled to Santa Maria to see what the excitement was about.

FROM THRUST AND PARRY TO DRIBBLE AND KICK

As a prelude to observing The Wolves in rehearsal, I met Dean Booher in PCPA’s Marian Theatre on a Saturday afternoon to watch a pre-matinee fight call for Shakespeare in Love. When a script calls for actors to fight, the cast continues to practice the scene before every day’s performances.

Even after the show has opened and ordinary rehearsals have ended, fight call goes on. It’s a way for the actors to keep their reflexes sharp; it’s also a chance for the director to notice if someone is off form, or if something is out of rhythm.

The Shakespeare in Love fight call was wild and wonderful. Overlapping skirmishes sent actors scrambling around the elaborate two-tiered set in a bravura action sequence requiring advanced training in stage combat. To no one’s surprise, all the fighters were men. The scene’s lone female

character, Viola de Lesseps, flees the male melee without looking back. In Shakespeare’s day, of course, Viola too would have been played by a man. At the turn of the 17th century, boy apprentices played all the women’s roles.

Wild and wonderful, yes, but it wasn’t what I came to Santa Maria to see. Across the street, in a brightly lit rehearsal studio, I found another cast working hard to perfect a different set of physical skills. There were no swords this time, and no men either. Instead, there was an all-female directing team and 17 young women (including understudies) who began by talking among themselves as they stretched and warmed up. What

followed was a heady mix of theater and choreography unlike anything I had seen before. These actors were really playing soccer, not miming it, and they were doing it while running complex lines of dialogue.

Director Karin Hendricks clearly relishes her role as the leader of the wolf pack. She’s been working on The Wolves for eight months, and the intensity she brings is mirrored in her description of the experience as “like a tornado.” Asked to express her feelings about the material, Hendricks answers swiftly and with conviction, saying, “It’s exactly the kind of play that I want to see. I would fly to New York to see a play like this,” adding that “working on something I love so much is amazing.”

It’s a collective project, and Hendricks; sees that most ineffable of qualities, team spirit, as not only essential to the success of the production, but also as the heart of the play’s subject. The Wolves is “not just brilliantly written,” according to Hendricks; it’s “a feminist piece.” “Giving the spotlight to a group of 16and 17-year-old girls, people whose voices are usually disregarded—that’s already a feminist statement,” says Hendricks. The play represents a major advance over the Bechdel test, and over all other measures of how dependently women have been portrayed in literature of the past. These young women achieve their identities through the context of their team.

When times are tough, you need strong representation.

THIS WEEKEND!

THIS WEEKEND!

No opposing players appear in The Wolves, and we never see any games. What we do see is the borderline space of warmup, a transitional realm where life and sports rub up against one another.

For these characters, warmup provides a forum where they can test out new personae, share information, and even wage internecine emotional warfare. Hendricks sees the playwright’s decision to use numbers instead of names as an aspect of the play’s naturalism, and as a call to develop characterizations through direct contact with the others in the ensemble. “We don’t call people by number in life, and so they don’t do it onstage, except in relation to positions,” she told me. “It feels naturalistic to not have names sprinkled through the text. The choice has to do with letting their identity be defined by their place as part of this ensemble, as part of this pack.”

In her preface to the reader’s edition of The Wolves, DeLappe writes that she “thought of the play like a war movie. Instead of a troop of young men preparing for battle, we watch a team of young women. … There’s a captain, a rebel, an innocent, a recent recruit, a common enemy.

The arc follows an escalation of blood and viscera, both in the content of their speech and the actual sustained injuries and traumas.” The traumas in The Wolves follow the typical pattern of sports-related injuries, such as concussions and torn ACLs — until they don’t. DeLappe understands that adolescence is a time when “the stakes of everyday life could not be higher,” and that these girls “are desperate to understand themselves and the world around them, but they can only see so far.” For Hendricks, this means that The Wolves is “a coming-of-age story,” where the young women begin by talking about fearful and gruesome events such as mass murders “somewhat glibly, and then we see how they react when tragedy strikes in their own lives.”

As DeLappe indicates through her comparison of the team to a troop in battle, each character comes with a set of expectations. The captain, #25, is played by Katie Fuchs-Wackowski, a resident artist and teacher at PCPA. She’s the only Wolf who is not a PCPA student, and with her lean, athletic frame and awesome buzz cut, she embodies the dead- serious, do-or-die spirit that has kept the team on top of their league. 25’s poise and intensity remain intact to the end, but beneath her tough exterior, one glimpses conflicting emotions struggling to emerge. #7 (Holland Davenport) and #14 (Michaela Ferroggiaro) begin as inseparable best friends, until 14 discovers that being 7 x 2 means settling for second place. #13 (Charlotte Baldiviez) is the team’s goofy rebel. She loves to turn things upside down. For her, 13 is a lucky number, and nothing is taboo. #46 (Victoria Sanders), the thoughtful new girl who lives with her travel-writer mom in a yurt, may “just want to fit in” as DeLappe specifies in the cast list — and in all the important

THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION

Over the course of the show’s brilliant and moving opening-night performance on Saturday, March 9, it became apparent that the marriage of overlapping dialogue with synchronized movement is essential to the impact of The Wolves. DeLappe has written that her play is “not really about soccer,” and that’s true, but bringing the necessary soccer skills to the stage nevertheless represents a new and remarkably original innovation for the actors. Observing the fight call and the soccer rehearsal back to back clarified the fact that onstage, a live ball poses as much of a risk as a sword.

With the audience only steps away, an errant pass could break the fourth wall and derail a scene. Spacing, always an issue in any show, becomes a safety concern when a player has to enter the stage blind while everyone else has a partner and with exercise of her own occupying her full attention.

Where DeLappe’s writing really dazzles is in those sequences when the intensity of the physical activity gives rise to unfiltered expression.

Conversations that begin in gossip and giggles can quickly escalate into tangible aggression. Along with the players’ heart rates, their interpersonal heat also rises. As the night goes on, moments when anger and jealousy slip out from beneath the veneer of friendship accumulate, setting everyone on edge.

None of this would matter as much as it does if DeLappe were not interested in something that’s not only “not soccer,” but that’s also not a familiar theme in the theater, which is the gnawing ambivalence that comes with living inside a bubble. These sheltered young people are literally inside one, and they know it. The play opens with a conversation between two of the girls about the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia, and their limited knowledge of history lends poignancy to the fact that they are talking about it at all. When a second, overlapping conversation about menstruation begins between two other players, two key points are made: These people are young, barely past puberty, and blood is still blood. Their bubble is permeable; they are not yet able to escape their green and gilded cage, but information about what’s outside, however distorted and potentially unreliable, inevitably trickles in.

OPENING NIGHT

What’s most striking about The Wolves in performance is the degree to which every character leaves a strong impression. Led to assume the predominance of 7, 14, 25, and 46 by the story arc, I was stunned by how definite and absorbing I found the characters portrayed by Madison Davis as #2 and Willow Orthwein as #8, to name just two. Sanders said that she too had this revelation, but much earlier in the process and from the point of view of an actor. “I’ve never been in a show where the girls are all so relatable. When I read it, I could identify with at least five of the nine characters, and could imagine playing any one of them,” she told me. Another distinctive aspect of the way that this play works has to do with the fact that the characters take on their unique personalities through interaction with one another.

Fuchs-Wackowski said that her “character became more clear” as she got to know the other characters better. Sanders and Fuchs-Wackowski agreed that in this play, the women are “defined by what they do.”

And by what they say. There’s a reason for every little “like,” “so,” and “um” in DeLappe’s script, and in this excellent production, the cast has found them.

Hearing this symphony of teen speak, and seeing it set to such an exquisite WOLF PACK: Brooke Johnson (11) and Charlotte dance, one appreciates anew the beauty Baldiviez (13) lead the charge. and irrepressible vitality of the language as it lives in our ears and mouths. In the show’s heart-wrenching finale, PCPA artist and teacher Kitty Balay appears as the Soccer Mom, and her speech, which I won’t spoil, concludes with a parent’s remorse over resisting the underrated appeal and significance of oft-maligned adolescent speech patterns. Although The Wolves leaves overt moralizing to the audience, it ends with a powerful message, which is that it’s, like, never too late to love n your girls.

Whether you love the elegant French classics or grower Champagnes, you’ll love this sale!

A Show of Color T

he Ides of March will soon be upon us, as will the upcoming annual Santa Barbara International Orchid Show. The weekend, March 15-17, marks the 74th year for enthusiasts to come together from around the world.

The show is the longest running in the United States and is considered one of the best due to the wide variety of flowers. Visitors will be able to meet international and local growers, including Cal-Orchid and the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate.

Santa Barbara is an epicenter for orchid growers due to its Mediterranean, nearly frost-free climate, according to show president Wayne Ferrell, adding that when nursery growers arrived regionally, property was relatively affordable. Today, the plant is nearly ubiquitous in the area, sitting in many residents’ backyards and kitchen windowsills.

The show theme this year is Orchid Magic. Ferrell explained that the orchid family’s beauty is an outcome of the plants having competed for pollinators over millions of years, leading to ever more colorful and intricate blooms. Many of the flowers don’t trace their adaptation to natural factors alone, however.

Today, most of the orchids that you see are hybrids. For orchids, hybridization may actually be a saving grace.

Since the plant family is threatened by the conversion of forests to grazing lands, hybridizing actually helps

reduce a lot of the pressure on harvesting orchids in the wild. This is also a good thing for orchid connoisseurs — it means a nearly endless pool of variation in size, color, and bloom time to choose from.

For those who want to have an even more magical experience at the show, the Orchids After Dark event will take place 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Friday. For more info on that (and tickets), visit sborchidshow.com.

General admission tickets cost $14, seniors and students (with ID) $12, and kids 12 and younger get in for free.

senior program director. Grossman said money remaining after program expenses is reinvested back into the company through education and other needed areas. “We are about patients, not profits,” she said. “We don’t answer to shareholders; we answer to the public.” Their goal is to increase the accessibility of effective contraception for women because, Grossman explained, unplanned pregnancies are often associated with lifelong health, economic, and societal difficulties. Women benefit on multiple levels from access to affordable contraceptives, which can create a positive ripple effect in their communities and local economies.

After the presentation, men and women filed into the warehouse to assemble 2,000 “dignity kits” containing hygiene and toiletry products to be sent to women around the world. Ospina said, “In the future, Direct Relief hopes to expand this [program] and offer other needed maternal health products as well.”

he Kirchmaier Volunteer Center at Direct Relief was standing room only on Friday, March 8, as more than 150 people gathered in honor of International Women’s Day to celebrate achievements and acknowledge remaining hurdles, including the lack of global access to affordable maternal health care. This year’s theme was “balance for better — the better the balance, the better the world.”

“I couldn’t agree more,” said Dr. Jessica Grossman, CEO of Medicines360, “There’s no better way to create balance than to give women access to affordable contraception.” The event was hosted by Direct Relief Women, a volunteer group formed nine years ago to focus on championing maternal and child health-care programs. It highlighted Direct Relief’s unprecedented partnership with Medicines360, a pharmaceutical nonprofit focused on women’s health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hormonal IUDs are 99.8 percent effective. Medicines360 has developed the hormonal IUDs Avibela and Liletta, which cost about $50 — $950 less than their competitors. Due to their innovation, the most effective contraception is now no longer the most expensive.

However, as Direct Relief CEO Thomas Tighe said, “Inventing a product does not create access to a product.” More than 19 million American women live in “contraceptive deserts,” where they have no access to clinics providing the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive methods. Direct Relief has collaborated with Medicines360 to distribute their patented IUDs for free to select clinics around the U.S. that serve women who could not otherwise obtain it.

“This is the first time we have had the ability to do a long-term, sustained program for women’s reproductive health,” said Paulina Ospina, Direct Relief ’s

Women Scientists, Teen Engineers @ MOXI

J

ust within the last few weeks, two new temporary art installations at MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, near Santa Barbara’s waterfront, became open for viewing. Upon first glance, the two have nothing in common, but in truth, they deliver the same ultimate message: Anyone can be a scientist.

The first installation, DPEA Showcase, can be found on the second floor and features the work of high schoolers in their last year at the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy (DPEA). The products of these students’ labor are impressive. One wouldn’t guess that they were entirely designed and produced by 17- and 18-year-olds. Each exhibit is interactive, taking advantage of touch-screen technology to connect with museum-goers. On display is an infinity mirror that can be manipulated to reflect different angles, a metal ball that appears to draw hexagonal shapes in the sand all on its own, and a station that feels like a real-life arcade game.

The other installation takes quite a different form. Women in Science is a photo exhibit that lines the hallway leading to the Exploration Lab on the first floor of the museum.

As community artist at the Squire Foundation and artist in residence at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), the artist Nicole Berry was able to bring her project to life. The series of portraits features female scientists, each image with a different color hue. Five of the portraits have accompanying audio, which gives the viewer the opportunity to listen in on Berry’s interviews with her subjects. In these sessions, she asks the women if they always knew they wanted to be scientists. She receives a unique, personal answer each time. The women also provide other insights.

One points out that you don’t need a PhD to be a scientist, while another sees being a scientist as getting to be “professionally curious.”

It makes sense that these two installations are taking up temporary residence at MOXI, which classifies itself as a “destination for families and curious minds of all ages.” While the DPEA Showcase presents what curious minds can accomplish, Women in Science shows what those curious minds may look like. Altogether, it is made clear that there is no one particular way to be a scientist.

— Maya Chiodo The DPEA Showcase shows through April 14, and Women in Science shows through August 25. See MOXI.org.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: The Miramar merges the ultra-luxury of a top-tier resort with the comfortable touches of a private home.

NEW MIRAMAR RICK CARUSO’S RITZY ROSEWOOD MIRAMAR BEACH OPENS IN MONTECITO

by Tyler Hayden and Matt Kettmann

E

There’s no one way to describe the Miramar’s architecture; verywhere you look in the new Rosewood Miramar Beach resort, there’s Rick Caruso, from his family crest it borrows from a handful of influences. The property feels set in black marble flooring and wide windows overlook- vaguely Cape Cod–ish, makes obvious nods to surrounding the Pacific to photos of his four kids hanging in the chic ing Montecito estates, and reflects design choices by revered Manor Bar to the man himself, on February 28, hovering California architect Paul Williams when he redid the Beverly above in a helicopter before touching down and toasting Hills Hotel in the 1940s. The sweeping curved staircase in the the luxury hotel’s highly anticipated opening with a lawn foyer of the Manor House, where guests check in, was made full of invited guests. The Los Angeles real-estate magnate, using one of his 1933 blueprints for a Southern Colonial–style dressed in a sleek blue suit and checkered tie and sporting a estate. The hand-drawn plans are framed nearby.

This residential aesthetic starts at the Manor House’s black very non-wintery tan, spent nearly an hour shaking hands before Managing Director Seán Carney introduced him to lacquered front door, continues through the living room area with its piano and fireplace, and spreads to all four corners the crowd. “Hi, Rick!” they responded.

The majority of the 161 rooms are ing the project through the 12 long and often cantankerous multi-bedroom bungalows set along stone paths that meanyears it took to get approved and built. “But as I look back, der under oak trees, while 26 suites with personal balconies it’s probably been the best 12 years of my life, and I really and complimentary cocktail service sit right over the sand.

Set right next to Highway 101 and bisected by train tracks, The large amount of personal and financial capital Caruso invested in the project feels reflected in all those familial the Miramar somehow retains the serenity expected from a touches, capped by the family apartment he built on the seaside resort. The roar of cars is largely blocked by tall walls second floor of the mansion-style main building. “We plan to and dense landscaping while the entire property was raised spend a lot of time up here,” he added. “Seán may be horrified a few feet to sit level with the tracks so trains wouldn’t loom over everything. Rooms are installed on “base isolators” to to hear how much time we’re gonna spend up here.”

cut down on vibrations, and the buildings incorporate the same noise-cancelling technology used in super yachts. The area has also been designated a “quiet crossing” by railroad operators, meaning fewer horn blasts.

This is the first hotel venture for the 60-year-old Caruso, who Forbes says is worth $4 billion and who bought the property from Beanie Babies tycoon Ty Warner in 2007 after Warner gave up on the contentious planning process. Before Warner, there was Ian Schrager of Studio 54 fame. Schrager bought the Miramar in 1998 and closed it in 2000 to make renovations, but work stopped when the economy went south and the patch of land, full of half-demolished buildings, was left as a festering eyesore for years to come. Caruso received a fair amount of criticism during the approval process as he haggled hard with county officials over parking requirements and tax concessions, but those memories have been largely washed away with the opening.

Caruso declined to talk about how much the Miramar cost to rebuild, but early estimates put it in the $200+ million range. Rooms start at $800 a night, with a grand suite costing more than $5,500. His team notes the business has created more than 300 full-time jobs and generates a considerable amount of tax revenue for the County of Santa Barbara. The operator, Rosewood Hotel Group, is a Hong Kong–based chain with luxury resorts in 15 countries. The Miramar is its third in California, and it has 22 more in development across the globe. It’s Caruso’s hope that the Miramar receives the five-star and five-diamond ratings that all top-level hoteliers crave.

That’s a far cry from Miramar’s original accommodations, which date back to 1876, when a young couple — landowners Josiah and Emmeline Doulton — built a few small cottages on their property to house visiting friends and family. The Doulton’s named the place Miramar, or “behold the sea” in Spanish. The cottages grew in number over the years until the Doulton family sold the slice of Montecito shoreline in 1939 to Paul Gawzner, who built it out as a resort and added a pool.

THROWBACKS: All around the property are homages to the original resort.

For the last half of the 20th century, it remained a modest getaway for newlyweds and working-class families.

Already, there’s been a Leonardo DiCaprio sighting and a handful of big weddings. Despite the Miramar’s price points, Caruso and his staff insist on retaining its reputation as a family-friendly and community-orientated destination for travelers and locals alike. Upcoming programming includes a kids’ nature class and “Mommy and me” events. “Because that’s what I have learned over 12 years,” Caruso said. “The people who live here love having the beach, and they love being together. I feel so lucky, and my team feels the same way.”

Rosewood Miramar Beach is now open at 1759 South Jameson Lane in Montecito. Call 900-8388 or visit rosewoodhotels.com/en/miramar-beach-montecito.

JUICE IT GOOD: Juice Ranch-er Darla Chenin serves at the Coast Village Road location.

JUICE RANCH Serves Positivity and Passion L

ooking for a detox plan, a lifestyle change, or even just a snack with a natural pick-me-up? Juice Ranch is the place to be.

This haven for health-food seekers sells a plethora of cold-pressed juices, superfood smoothies, hot healing tonics, and probiotic-rich toasts. Founded in 2013, Juice Ranch developed a loyal following and now operates three locations: Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and Montecito, which opened its doors on New Year’s Day, 2018, just days before the devastating mudslide.

According to owner Scott Walker, the business he started with his wife, Erin Gomez, was born out of Grow Juicing Empire to Three passion and good intenSouth Coast Locations tions. Their ideology and

BY DANIELLE RICCARDO lifestyles were so integrated into the juicing culture that celebrating it became “like a full-time job,” he explained, “so [they] made it one.” They believe there is power in high-vibrational foods, which are those that have a greater level of light than density, providing nourishment to the body and assisting with detoxification.

Their positive outlook has been helpful this past year.

Just three days after the Juice Ranch’s Coast Village Road grand opening party, the 1/9 Debris Flow struck. The tragedy was a major setback for the business, but the customer flow is finally starting to normalize a year later. “This has affected our cash flow severely, and we have had to get family loans to survive this long rehabilitation process,” said Walker. “We are not alone in this — many other small businesses have been hit as well.”

It’s also forced the business to evolve. “We are growing up,” said Walker. “We have expanded our offerings so that people on the go can get healthy, high-vibration, nutritionally complete meals. We have found our authentic selves, and our intentions are focused on every aspect of our business: a new seasonal menu, the store dress, the store experience, video marketing showing our customers how to use our products, the eco-friendly packaging, and our business sustainability and longevity.”

Popular items on today’s juice menu include the Yoda, an energizing and alkalizing organic medley of kale, romaine, celery, cucumber, and spinach. The vegan-friendly Raw Cashew Cream Cheez Toast is a hit, and customers also enjoy the avocado toast with cilantro-almond pesto.

As the community rallied around following the mudslides, the Juice Ranch wanted even more to support their neighbors. “We want to heal ourselves and the community using the food we treasure and love,” said Walker. “We are looking to separate ourselves from the food establishments that are just looking to make a buck by cutting corners on quality.”

2017 ESTATE SYRAH A

HAPPY HOUR

just got a whole lot happier!

fter years of buying great grapes from others

to make his wines, Doug Margerum signed a long-term lease at Honea Vineyard a couple of years ago so that he could better create his own estate wines.

Honea had long been planted to Italian varietals—mostly providing the backbone for Palmina’s production—but Margerum grafted his favorite Rhône grapes onto those vines instead. Now it’s finally time to taste the first results from this prized, hilly site on Alamo Pintado in the Los Olivos District AVA. Based on this powerhouse 2017 Syrah, Margerum certainly chose his site wisely. Serious juice, its inky pour hints at the bright, bursting fruit of blueberry and blackberry. Yet there’s not a hint of flab on this well-structured, mouth-filling delight. You’ll want to drink it now, but hang on to a few, as it’s sure to age gorgeously. You’d want to call it an “über” syrah if Margerum didn’t already make one of those, too.

Written by Santa Barbara– based author Avalon Jenkins and illustrated by her wife, Genevieve Mahoney, the lovingly hand-drawn story is the first in a series based on Jenkins’s true-life experiences of her days raising her family in a motor home on a homeless encampment.

THE DEATH OF KINGS:

SEIZE THE CROWN

William Shakespeare wrote eight extraordinary history plays that contain some of his most memorable characters and some of his greatest poetry. In 2016, UCSB theater professor Irwin Appel unleashed an epic two-part adaptation of these plays called The Death of Kings that managed to cover the entire story in just six hours.

The production, which ran for several weeks at UCSB’s Hatlen Theater, brought together a dream team of actors, designers, and musicians to create an unforgettable experience for those who were lucky enough to see it.

This Saturday, March 16, at 8 p.m, and Sunday, March 17 at 2 p.m, The Death of Kings returns to UCSB, only this time you won’t need to cancel the rest of your weekend plans to see it. A new, 90-minute version called Seize the Crown, which Appel created for the 2017 Prague Shakespeare Company’s Summer Intensive, has been chosen for inclusion in the 2019 season of Shakespeare Southwest in Scottsdale.

As a warmup for those performances, the cast will provide these two shows free of charge to the public in UCSB’s Theater Dance West Studio 1507. Get there early if you want to find a seat — these amazing productions are often very popular.

—Charles Donelan

Amadeus S.B. SYMPHONY PRESENTS

AMADEUS LIVE

For pianist Natasha Kislenko, the 1984 film Amadeus is a distant memory that’s about to become a very immediate challenge. “Honestly, I haven’t seen it since it came out,” Kislenko told me, adding that she remembers “enjoying the Hollywood style, but being a little uncomfortable with the inaccuracies.” Based on the Peter Shaffer play, Amadeus does in fact play up the silly side of Mozart’s personality, as well as exaggerating the envy of his rival Salieri in order to achieve a more dramatic effect, yet the dazzling miseen-scène remains a potent reminder of the ability of motion pictures to create alternate worlds. When the Santa Barbara Symphony takes the stage this Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17, they will do so with Kislenko at the keyboard and a full chorus, all of them ready to play along with a giant 4K projection of the film. Through the generosity of the Chrisman family, the Granada is one of the few theaters in the world that is properly set up to achieve this level of musical/ cinematic synchronization, and so far at least, audiences are finding they enjoy it.

Any reservations about the veracity of the film quickly vanish when my conversation with Kislenko turns to Mozart’s music. “He’s perfect in every way,” she said. “Mozart is by far the hardest composer to perform because the ordinary rules of interpretation don’t apply with him. Every note is like gold, or diamonds; nothing is questionable, so you have to play it exactly right.” Asked about the film’s depiction of the Salieri-Mozart rivalry, she admits that envy is not unknown in the music world. “It’s true, there is jealousy, as there is in every field,” she said. “There are always people who advance who shouldn’t, and there are always going to be those who, like Mozart, seem to find it easy to do things that others find difficult.” Here’s hoping that the ease of Amadeus rubs off on everyone who attends either of these special concert events this weekend. Call 899-2222 or see thesymphony.org.

by Richie DeMaria

SOUNDS OF SAINT PAT’S: ‘Tis the season to raise a dram to the fabled Saint Patrick of Ireland, and local venues are rolling out the traditional musical best in celebration. With hills radiantly green from recent rains, it’ll be hard not to feel inspired to celebrate all things shamrocking.

At Dargan’s (18 E. Ortega St.), Dannsair will liven things up in Irish style, playing a full day of traditionals and contemporary compositions. Last year, the band released Celtic Meditations, a peaceful set of songs meant for relaxation; this event is likely to be quite a bit more enlivening.

Over at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.), Spencer & The Worried Lads host their Annual St. Patty’s Bash, beginning at 5:30 p.m. A marker of the seasons himself, Spencer (of Spencer the Gardener) continues his role as maestro for many a Santa Barbara celebration. With his band The Worried Lads, the trio combines a self-described mix of Irish, pirate, and Tex-Mex sounds. The event is all ages, and kids under 11 get in free.

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS FISH: Start the festivities early with Goleta’s Glitter Fish on Thursday, March 14, at 7 p.m. at Velvet Jones (423 State St.). The band plays psychedelic rock pleasingly awash in reverb and phasers. Often seen pictured in a dreamily verdant Ellwood forest, the band evokes psychedelic reveries winding through the sunny bluffs. Supporting acts The Advocates and Modern Genre have started making names for themselves locally as rising indie-rock and pop acts.

GENE ON THE SCENE: Joshua Tree’s Gene Evaro Jr. is back in town on Saturday, March 16, at SOhO, this time with support from S.L.O.’s Próxima Parada and Lily Waters. Word on the State Street is that Evaro Jr. and company kicked up a great show last time they came by in October with their funky-fresh high desert melodies.

Próxima Parada, meanwhile, have earned millions of listens across the globe for their wonderful take on contemporary soul. Fans of Leon Bridges would likely enjoy the sound of this excellent Central Coast band. Lily Waters, from L.A., will open the night with stomping indie rock, starting at 8 p.m.

GOIN’ GUTHRIE: In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the film Alice’s Restaurant and Woodstock — and a half-century of flower power ever since—Arlo Guthrie is bringing a multi-media experience to Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido) on Tuesday, March 19, at 8 p.m. Joining Guthrie will be a few musical friends and family, including kindred performers Sarah Lee Guthrie and Abe Guthrie, plus Terry A La Berry, and Steve and Carol Ide. The folk singer has inspired generations of singers with his storytelling and enduring messages of peace and love. The ’60s may have been a while back, but the doves are still flying strong.

HEAD OF THE HEADLESS: S.B.’s jazz fusion band par excellence, Headless Household, plays SOhO on Wednesday, March 20, at 7:30 p.m.

Describing itself as “hopelessly eclectic,” the band will mark the 25th anniversary of its debut album, Inside/Outside USA. Released in 1987, the album marked the beginning of a long and unique musical journey through genres and modalities. Here’s to honoring musical eclecticism and eccentrism in all its joys.

COSMIC COUNTRY: Promising to play “the dusty country classics of your dreams,” Chris Robinson’s Green Leaf Rustlers invite you to take a trip down their country-rock roads at SOhO on Friday, March 22, at 9 p.m. With jams aplenty, plan to kick up your boots in most happy fashion. Expect the band to hit all kinds of high notes, if you catch my drift.

he Kid inhabits a world of pariahs, all men, all convicted sex offenders, and like his fellow occupants of the concrete island under the Causeway, the Kid wears an ankle bracelet that monitors his movements. He can’t live near a school or daycare facility or use the internet.

No landlord will rent to him, and even if one did, the Kid doesn’t have money; he got sacked from his job as a busboy.

Russell Banks deserves his reputation as one of our finest storytellers. His novels and short stories usually revolve around characters who occupy the drab outskirts of society. In Lost Mem-ory of Skin, the characters live in the shadows. To survive in this world, the Kid — the reader never learns his true name — tries to make himself as small as possible, to become almost invisible. Being unremarkable and forgettable got him through high

school and a calamitous stint in the army. Degradation and failure are the Kid’s second nature, reinforced by a neglectful mother and too many hours holed up in his bedroom watching porn on the internet. The central irony of the Kid’s forlorn life is that when he was arrested for soliciting sex from a minor he met online, he had never kissed a girl, let alone had sex with one.

The Professor is a prisoner of a different sort. A brilliant polymath trapped in a morbidly obese body, he’s as much a misfit as the Kid. As he always does, Banks gets to the human humanity at the core of these flawed, kindred characters, slipping the reader inside their skin; we see and feel what they see and feel. The Kid becomes the one person the Professor trusts, while the Professor helps the Kid see himself in a different light, not as a terminally bad, irredeemable person, but as an inherently decent one who did a bad thing.

W

hen I Get Home, Solange’s follow-up to her 2016 critically acclaimed A Seat at the Table, is an ode to her hometown of Houston, Texas. Its neo-soul style has a refined aural beauty — thanks to the minimalist recording approach — that allows the singer’s delicate harmonies to shine. On the nostalgic, celestial track “Dreams,” Solange recalls her youth, singing, “I grew up a little girl with dreams, dreams, dreams.”

Interludes and instrumental breaks

smooth transitions between narratives about self-empowerment and iden identity politics. The Pharrell-produced “Almeda” showcases the surprising compatibility between rapper Playboi Carti’s adlibs and Solange’s ethereal vocals. Although When I Get Home transports the listener to a heavenly soundscape, it doesn’t have the same magnitude of metaphorical lyricism or personal revelations that its ambitious predecessor offered.

GARY CLARK JR.

S

ince the release of his first album, Blak and Blu, in 2012, Gary Clark Jr. has been championed as a savior of the blues. But blues is a rigid genre of just three chords and 12 bars; Clark, who as a teen idolized Boyz II Men as much as Hendrix, was never meant to just stick to blues. The singer’s latest release, This Land,, is his biggest genre leap, pairing his most substantive lyrics yet with an eclectic mix of sounds ranging from rock to hip-hop.

The album’s title track, “This Land,” exemplifies Clark’s sophistication. Over heavy electronic synth and angry guitar bends, Clark responds to living in Texas as a black person. The song references an incident in which a neighbor approached Clark at his comfortable new home and refused to believe that the property could be his. “Paranoid and pissed off now that I got the

money,” Clark sings. “Fifty acres and a Model A right in the middle of Trump country.”

On tracks such as “What About Us,” “Pearl Cadil Cadillac,” and “When I’m Gone,” Clark continues to seamlessly blend styles with compelling tales about hostile country communities, fatherhood, and love. The album does get confused at times, how however, like the oddly rocked-out reg reggae swing in “Feelin’ like a Million.”

Thankfully, though, he graces each song with his signature fierce guitar licks, which are as tumultuous as they are melodic.

Steadily breaking out of the blues mold and growing as a lyricist, Clark shows that a combo of vocals and lead guitar can still create a fresh new sound. Clark plays the Santa Barbara Bowl on September 27.

Can we really have our meat and eat it too? The consumption of meat by early humans has been argued to be a key factor in helping humans evolve to become who we are today. At a time when environmental pressures are at their highest and the environmental footprint of animal protein production is significant, how might we continue to include protein in our diets and meet our needs without putting the health of the environment at greater risk?

O Green Book

(130 mins., PG-13)

Green Book is an uncommonly welltold tale of bodyguard Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) and classically trained pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), thrown together on a concert tour through the Deep South in 1962.

Dr. Donald Shirley was a child prodigy, Russian-trained, and imbued with a dignity that suffered under the shortening of his name to “Don” by his record label. The film’s greatest transformation comes from Mortensen, who put on 25 pounds before the film began and added another 20 while playing Tony Vallelonga, a k a Tony Lip. His son Nick Vallelonga wrote the script, holding off until after Don Shirley had died, as requested. It’s a restraint that Green Book plays with so well that the usually blasé Santa Barbara film audience couldn’t help but erupt with applause at film’s end.

Fiesta 5 Never Look Away (188 mins., R) Director Henckel von Donnersmarck, who dropped moviegoers into the paranoid landscape of East Berlin with his Oscar-winning 2006 film The Lives of Others, stirred controversy with his new film about another slice of German life, Never Look Away, loosely based on the life; times; and fascinating, mercurial work of Gerhard Richter. Richter, 87, a recluse considered one of our most important living artists, was none too pleased. Opening with a “degenerate art” show in Dresden, circa 1937, and moving through Communist bloc life, studies with Joseph Beuys and his “blurpainting” breakthrough, the three-hour film feels tame and glossy compared to the challenges of Richter’s art over the decades. Still, it conveys a compelling, polished tale, a portrait of an artist who filtered troubled times into a suitably complex, blurry, layered aesthetic voice.

Richter deserves better. (JW) Riviera Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral (109 mins., PG-13) For the 11th Madea franchise film, matriarch Madea (Tyler Perry) and her family convene for a reunion that turns into a nightmare in the backwoods of Georgia when the get-together becomes an unexpected funeral gathering.

Kenya, where it never snows except on the very top of Mount Kenya. Yet he represented his country in the cross-country skiing events at the Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. How did he do it? He trained up north in snowy Finland. Meanwhile, Kwame NkrumahAcheampong competed for Ghana in the slalom in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Since there was no snow in his homeland, he practiced his skills in the French Alps.

These two are your role models for the coming months, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to achieve success in tasks and activities that may not seem like a natural fit.

acquire a flamethrower. It would come in handy if you felt the urge to go to a beach and incinerate mementoes from an ex-ally. It would also be useful if you wanted to burn stuff that reminds you of who you used to be and don’t want to be anymore, or if you got in the mood to set ablaze symbols of questionable ideas you used to believe in but can’t afford to believe in anymore. If you don’t want to spend $1,600+ on a flamethrower, just close your eyes for 10 minutes and visualize yourself performing acts of creative destruction like those I mentioned.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus aphorist Olivia Dresher writes that

she would like to be “a force of nature,” but “not causing any suffering.” The way I interpret her longing is that she wants to be wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure —all the while without inflicting any hurt or damage on herself or anyone else. In accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, that’s a state I encourage you to embody in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling extra smart—which I suspect you will—you could go even further. You may be able to heal yourself and others with your wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure energy.

(May 21-June 20): In some major cities, the buttons you push at a crosswalk don’t actually work to make the traffic light turn green faster. The same is true about the “Close Door” buttons in many elevators. Pushing them doesn’t have any effect on the door. Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer says these buttons are like placebos that give you “the illusion of control.” I bring this phenomenon to your attention, Gemini, in hope of inspiring you to scout around for comparable things in your life. Is there any situation where you imagine you have power or influence, but probably don’t? If so, now is an excellent time to find out—and remedy that problem.

Eric Lawes used his metal detector to look for a hammer that his farmer friend had lost in a field. Instead of the hammer, he found the unexpected: a buried box containing 15,234 old Roman silver and gold coins worth more than $4 million today. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something different from what you’re searching for. Like the treasure Lawes located, it might even be more valuable than what you thought you wanted.

HOMEWORK: Upon waking up for the next seven mornings, sing a song that fills you with feisty, glorious hope.

neglected sense. We see, hear, taste, and feel with vividness and eagerness, but we allow our olfactory powers to go underused. In accordance with astrological omens, I hope you will compensate for that dearth in the coming weeks. There is subtle information you can obtain — and in my opinion, need quite strongly — that will come your way only with the help of your nose. Trust the guidance provided by scent.

AQUARIUS

LEO The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher considered selecting A-list actress Scarlett Johansson to play the heroine. But ultimately, he decided she was too sexy and radiant. He wanted a pale, thin, tougher-looking actress, whom he found in Rooney Mara. I suspect that in a somewhat similar way, you may be perceived as being too much something for a role you would actually perform quite well. But in my astrological opinion, you’re not at all too much. In fact, you’re just right. Is there anything you can do — with full integrity — to adjust how people see you and understand you without diluting your brightness and strength?

as the role of the lover,” wrote author James Baldwin. “If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” To fully endorse that statement, I’d need to add two adverbs. My version would be, “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to kindly and compassionately make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you Libras enthusiastically adopt that mission during the coming weeks. With tenderness and care, help those you care about to become aware of what they’ve been missing — and ask for the same from them toward you.

ancestors were able to get some of the food they needed through a practice known as persistence hunting. They usually couldn’t run as fast as the animals they chased.

But they had a distinct advantage: They could keep moving relentlessly until their prey grew exhausted.

In part, that’s because they had far less hair than the animals, and thus could cool off better. I propose that we adopt this theme as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks and months. You won’t need to be extra fast or super ferocious or impossibly clever to get what you want. All you have to do is be persistent and dogged and disciplined.

Native American woman of the Mohegan tribe. According to her description of Mohegan naming traditions, and reported by author Elisabeth Pearson Waugaman, “Children receive names that are descriptive. They may be given new names at adolescence, and again as they go through life according to what their life experiences and accomplishments are.” She concludes that names “change as the individual changes.” If you have been thinking about transforming the way you express and present yourself, you might want to consider such a

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb says

humans come in three types: fragile, robust, or antifragile. Those who are fragile work hard to shield themselves from life’s messiness. The downside? They are deprived of experiences that might spur them to grow smarter. As for robust people, Taleb believes they are firm in the face of messiness. They remain who they are even when they’re disrupted. The potential problem? They may be too strong to surrender to necessary transformations. If you’re the third type, antifragile, you engage with the messiness and use it as motivation to become more creative and resilient. The downside? None. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt the antifragile approach in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In 2014, NASA managed to place its

MAVEN spacecraft into orbit around Mars. The cost of the mission was $671 million. Soon thereafter, the Indian government put its own vehicle, the Mangalyaan, into orbit around the Red Planet. It spent $74 million. As you plan your own big project, Pisces, I recommend you emulate the Mangalyaan rather than the MAVEN. I suspect you can do great things — maybe even your personal equivalent of sending a spacecraft to Mars — on a relatively modest budget.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: RUTH P. BERNHARDT aka RUTH BERNHARDT Case No.: 19PR00051 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of RUTH P. BERNHARDT aka RUTH BERNHARDT A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: PETER BERNHARDT in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: PETER BERNHARDT be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 03/21/2019 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O Box 21107 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative

appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Steven F. Barnes; CA Bar #101561 (805) 687‑6660 Barnes & Barnes, 1900 State Street, Suite M, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, Published Feb 28. Mar 7, 14, 2019.
