NEWS BRIEFS CITY Jari, the 5½-year-old white-handed gibbon who arrived at the Santa Barbara Zoo in January 2017, died 7/11 after becoming tangled in a net, zoo officials announced. The net had been in Jari’s exhibit for “several months” and is a common enrichment tool for primates who climb, zoo officials said. The incident will be reported to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees licensed exhibitors that hold animals, and to the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.

500 Rally Against Detention Centers

I

n a three-block-long, 500-person-strong procession on Friday evening, the community of Santa Barbara joined the nationwide Lights for Liberty movement, calling for the closure of detention centers housing immigrant children and demanding an end to family separation. The diverse crowd gathered under the arches of the courthouse, where different organizations were handing out candles and manning sign-

making stations. After brief comments from Pastor Art Stevens and organizer Jacqueline Inda, the group marched to City Hall, where they heard emotional testimonies and messages from more than half a dozen other community members and local officials.

The two-hour rally ended with Inda calling for action from the crowd. “From here on out, get involved, go to meetings. Act!” said Inda.

CANNABIS

Curing Cannabis-Induced Anxiety County Supes Pass Cap on Total Cultivation Allowed

A

by Nick Welsh

fter months of bitterly acrimonious deliberations over cannabis policy — interspersed with frequent personal attacks — the tone and tenor of this week’s Board of Supervisors meeting was jarringly cordial. County Supervisor Peter Adam noted with considerable relief, “I wanted to say how nice this discussion has been.”

It was also unusually productive. In a couple of hours, the supervisors managed to pass a hatful of measures designed to tighten the screws on cannabis cultivation in response to growing backlash against a newly legalized industry. The votes were often unanimous or 4-1.

For starters, the supervisors voted to impose a cap on the total acreage of cultivation that could take place at any one time.

That’s a big deal because until this week, Santa Barbara was the only coastal county without such an upper limit. Supervisor Joan Hartmann — who represents the 3rd Supervisorial District and is up for reelection next year — pushed for the cap, arguing it would

UCSB’s Green Initiative Fund awarded 20 “green”oriented projects more than $190,000 during the 2018-2019 school year, a fund first created by students in 2006. This year, the fund provided for grounds equipment, an Isla Vista Theater lighting upgrade, a “carbon sequestration study,” a sustainable technology repair pop-up, and construction of new solar panels, among other projects. In its lifetime, the fund has given more than $2 million in grants to dozens of projects, including the ZipCar project and the Edible Campus farm.

Actor Jeff Bridges appeared at Bohnett Park during lunchtime on 7/11, giving an upbeat talk about the growing number of locations offering free summer lunches in the county. With the children present in mind, he described the ICE sweeps announced

by President Trump that morning as a “challenge” they all faced; a similar announcement in midJune is blamed for drastically reducing the number of children receiving food through the program.

In an effort to reduce the amount of alcohol sold to minors, the Sheriff’s Office conducted several decoy and “shoulder tap” operations through an Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) grant. On 7/10, statistics released by the office for fiscal year 201819 showed that in 20 sting operations, 43 offenders were cited. Of those cited, 15 were vendors, and the other 28 agreed to get alcohol for an underage decoy outside various stores. The 15 cited vendors were reported to the ABC for license action.

Famous chef Larry Forgione was sentenced to 60 days in jail on 6/25 for killing Gilbert Ramirez, 90, during a February 2018 accident on State Street.

The chef — who’s been hailed as the “godfather of American cuisine” and appeared on Iron Chef — also must complete three years of probation, do 200 hours of community service, pay $345 in fines, and lose his driver’s license for three years.

Forgione had been facing a 12-month maximum sentence.

Ynez Valley in 2017 and $16,000 to Supervisor Steve Lavagnino of Santa Maria in 2018.

The total amount for Williams is closer to $23,000 and represented about 17 percent of his $127,000 total raised in those two years.

The percentage of Hartmann’s and Lavagnino’s money from cannabis concerns was about 12 percent for each.

Hartmann was the only sitting supervisor supported by an outspoken cannabis foe; she received $1,000 from Sharyne Merritt, an avocado grower in Carpinteria and Santa Ynez Valley.

The Independent’s tally of records for 201718 showed no cannabis money to Supervisor Peter Adam, who will step down in 2020.

Though a review of county records showed no cannabis money to Supervisor Gregg Hart, a look at his 2017 run for reelection to Santa Barbara City Council listed $10,000 in contributions from CARP (Cannabis Association for Responsible Producers) growers and a consultant out of a war chest of about $187,000. — Jean Yamamura

estimated to cost $5 million and $32 million, respectively. The district’s annual budget is $20 million.

Once the rate study is complete, officials said, the board will hold public hearings and vote on whether to buy a long-term share of Santa Barbara’s water supply. If the project gets a green light, the city would have to build a $12 million “conveyance” pipeline to help carry desalinated water to a buried tank at the Cater Water Treatment Plant off San Roque Road, said Joshua Haggmark, city water resources manager. From there, the water would be mixed with other city supplies and shipped to Montecito through the South Coast Conduit, a pipeline that goes to Carpinteria.

Because Montecito has not yet voted on the project, the city this week withdrew its application for a $1 million state grant to help pay for the conveyance pipeline, Haggmark said. The deadline is in August, he said, but the city can apply again next year.

Whether Montecito purchases city water or not, Haggmark said, “we’re good with it, either way. … It’s not going to be a windfall for the city. It’s a fair deal.” —Melinda Burns

Helistop Proposal Draws Neighbors’ Fire

COUNTY

by Delaney Smith ultimillionaire hotelier and polo padrone Patrick Nesbitt’s recent permit application for a private-property helicopter landing site has sparked fury among some of his Carpinteria-area neighbors. Nesbitt claims that helicopters have been taking off and landing on his $65 million Lambert Road property unpermitted for 25 years with no issues until two years ago.

Although Nesbitt was out of the country and unable to be interviewed by press time, he said in a letter to the Padaro Lane Association that he was legally able to fly from his property without a permit because permits for helistops — which the Federal Aviation Administration defines as formalized helicopter landing areas without fueling or support facilities—are “not required on agriculturally zoned property” such as his. But the county says otherwise.

“Historically, a lot of helicopters have been landing in the area for years,” said Rey Harmon, the South County planner overseeing Nesbitt’s permit application. “None of the helicopters have permits, though, so they are all in violation.” Harmon said she is still researching exactly how long the conditional-use permit has been required, but she confirmed that it’s been required for “at least a decade.” Harmon said Nesbitt’s helicopter was red-tagged — meaning he will be fined if it is spotted taking off or landing in the area — two years ago after the county received a complaint about his helicopter flying too close to homes, which led him to seek a permit.

On June 26, county planning commissioners were prepared to hear Nesbitt’s permit proposal and potentially approve it until more than 170 letters from the public came in on the matter — most in opposition to it — prompting Nesbitt to ask commissioners to delay the hearing until he could personally address the concerns with neighbors.

“It is not fair to allow someone with significant financial means to obtain a convenience for a few people, at the vast majority of the affected public’s expense,” said neighboring residents Valerie Hoffman and Ron Noe in a letter to the commissioners. Their sentiments about the loud noise and disruption caused by helicopters were largely echoed in many of the comments and letters opposing the helistop.

Nesbitt saw the noise issue differently, though. “These homes are bordered by Highway 101 with over 100,000 cars and trucks passing by every day, to say nothing of the 10-12 trains creating over 110 dB of noise at grade within a couple hundred feet of every home on Padaro Lane,” Nesbitt argued in his letter. “Beautiful and exclusive, yes, but ‘peace and rural ambience’ not so much.”

NOT CLEARED FOR LANDING: Patrick Nesbitt is seeking a permit for a helicopter landing at his Lambert Road property.

Nesbitt also said his helistops would be beneficial to the community in case of emergencies like the recent Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow. He proposes two separate landing zones on his property—one for personal use up to two times a week and another for emergency personnel to use as needed. “Many of our neighbors were taken to emergency hospitals in Ventura County and as far as L.A. in helicopters [during the 1/9 Debris Flow] operating off of my property and will again if there is a recurrence of that situation,” Nesbitt said.

Harmon said emergency personnel are the only ones who don’t require permits for landing on private properties, though. When first responders used Nesbitt’s property at the time of the debris flow, they did not have a permit, nor did they need one. In his letter to Kaye Walters, communications director of the Padaro Lane Association, Nesbitt asked, “How about the hundreds of our neighbors north of 101 who had to be evacuated during the recent Thomas Fire/Flood event? … It seems in your mind those people don’t count as long as you are safe.”

Walters said with an airport just 15 minutes away, it wouldn’t be inconvenient for Nesbitt and others to land their helicopters there and then commute by car to their residences.

“Once you allow one, you open the Pandora’s box,” Walters said. Nesbitt claimed at the June 26 hearing that there was a total of 11 helicopters landing on private residences in the area, although the county was unable to substantiate the claim.

The delayed hearing is set for September 25. Harmon said any residents who spot helicopters landing in the meantime should call the county’s zoning enforcement line at (805) 568-3558 and try to obtain footage of the helin copter to help verify the complaint.

Three days after Solstice, he noted, confetti deposits lay thick and deep in State Street gutters. Any that gets into waterways leading to the ocean constitutes a violation of the federal Clean Water Act. The growing popularity of the plasticbased Mylar filling, he said, is of particular environmental concern. “Cracking a casacrone egg over someone’s head is one thing,” he said, “but dumping a bag of confetti on someone’s head is something else. It’s gotten to the point of overkill. We need to dial it back a bit.” How exactly this works out has yet to be seen.

Benson stressed that the problem was confetti, not the decorated eggs. “I don’t view this as an attack on cascaron vendors any more than the ‘don’t drink and drive’ campaign should be seen an attack on bar owners,” he said. City officials will meet with Old Spanish Days later this week to hammer out the details.

Throat Slasher One Step Closer to Release

A

SantaBarbara man who believed he was Jesus Christ and had been found guilty by reason of insanity for nonfatally slashing the throat of a woman at his uncle’s dinner party six years ago moved one step closer toward the legal restoration of his sanity on Monday morning. “You’ve done well, and you’ve made progress, and I hope and wish this progress continues,” Judge Brian Hill told Sam Wellington Maphis V as he approved Maphis’s transfer from maximum-security Patton State Hospital to a less-secure psychiatric facility in Sylmar.

There, he would be eligible for regular outings to movies, restaurants, and bowling alleys and, in as little as two years, intensely supervised outpatient release.

Prosecuting attorney Marguerite Charles argued against the transfer, highlighting a pattern of violent behavior starting at age 17, when Maphis was seized by paranoid delusions and loud, frequent auditory hallucinations that didn’t let go until a year ago. What happens if he stops taking his medications again, Charles asked, as he did in 2013?

Hill, however, was persuaded by Dr. Steven Galarza, staff psychiatrist at Patton, and by Dr. Scott Stella, a forensic psychologist at Sylmar, who both testified that Maphis—thanks to higher dosages of psychotropic medications—had stabilized considerably over the past three years and was far less susceptible to what were described as “hyper-religious” delusions and hallucinations.

Although Maphis resembles popular depictions of Jesus Christ, Galarza said Maphis is no longer inclined to preach when that resemblance is remarked upon.

Instead, he’s avidly pursued all therapeutic opportunities offered at Patton, taking his meds without issue and displaying a sharp awareness of his mental-health condition.

At Sylmar, Maphis will be placed in a forensic wing with 20 others convicted of serious crimes and trained in how to manage his mood fluctuations and function in a less-restrictive setting. Should Maphis refuse his meds or relapse, Hill was told, he’d be sent back to Patton.

cultivation. Right now, there’s about 1,000 acres actually planted in the soil. And that doesn’t count the cap the Carpinteria Valley has had: no more than 186 acres. There are 207 acres’ worth of applications submitted.

Obviously, not all applications will make it.

For 1st District Supervisor Das Williams, a strong champion of a regulated and taxed cannabis industry, the past few months have been searing. Williams lives in and represents Carpinteria, where residents have complained bitterly about intrusive odors emanating from greenhouses growing cannabis. Williams, a political professional with deep roots in the Democratic Party and environmental establishment, was seen as all but unbeatable in political contests until recently. But in the past few weeks, it’s appeared increasingly likely that Williams might face a well-funded challenge from school boardmember Laura Capps, also an accomplished political pro and scion of a beloved political clan. (Last week, Williams secured the endorsement of the Democratic Central Committee for a supervisorial election that takes place next year.)

This Tuesday, Williams was emphatic about passing measures that would require the installation of odor-control systems in the greenhouses. One measure would require that the systems be installed and proven effective before the county issues a grower a land-use permit. Now, odor-control systems are required only after landuse permits and business licenses have been issued. To put that in perspective, to date, only two cultivation applications have thus far managed to secure both. Likewise, Williams successfully pushed for a measure that will allow the county to file nuisance complaints against cultivators who do not install odor-control systems in a timely manner

and will require meteorological and wind studies for greenhouse applicants in order to ascertain where anticipated smells originate.

The thorniest issue to confront the supervisors was that of buffers between rural and urban boundaries in communities such as Goleta, Buellton, Solvang, and Los Olivos.

Supervisor Hartmann, who represents these communities, pushed for 1,500-foot buffers, arguing such gaps are necessary to prevent odors wafting over from larger cannabis operations. The existing buffers, she said, are inconsistent, irregular, and ineffective.

Hartmann didn’t have the votes to pass such a measure outright and pushed instead to refer the idea to the planning department for consideration. Supervisor Gregg Hart at first argued against this plan but ultimately voted for it. In his opening remarks, Hart alluded to a line from the Rolling Stones, whom he called “a couple of famous British philosophers” — “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you find n you get what you need.”

SPACE P ORK

DEEP SPACE MINE:

Vice President Mike Pence wants to lock and load the U.S. military into orbit.

He watched the moon landing as a kid and now chairs the National Space Council, which was disbanded in 1993 under H.W. Bush and reestablished in 2017 by Donald Trump.

Will Santa Barbara Get a Taste of Space Force Funding?

S

by Tyler Hayden alud Carbajal can’t get no respect. Not from the Trump administration, anyway.

For two years, Santa Barbara’s congressmember couldn’t get a simple callback from Ryan Zinke, the Secretary of the Interior and a fellow South Coast resident, and just last Wednesday, he suffered yet another serious diss. Vice President Mike Pence pointedly didn’t invite Carbajal—a former Marine and current member of the House’s Armed Services Committee, no less—to his rahrah American military might rally at Vandenberg Air Force Base. “Very sneaky, very partisan,” Carbajal complained.

Pence gripped the podium and spoke for 25 minutes to more than 400 cheering troops about asserting U.S. dominance in space. The “heavens above,” he proclaimed, are a “warfighting domain.” Pence reiterated Trump’s promise to establish a Space Force to wage battle against off-world adversaries, but, like the president, he didn’t let his lightsaber rattling get bogged down by details. He only explained that this new division would be the “natural evolution of American military supremacy” and that its creation was all but a done deal. “Get ready, folks,” he thundered, “the United States Space Force is gonna be here before you know it.”

No, it won’t, but let’s take this opportunity—which just happens to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing—to separate the rhetoric and realities of a

potential Space Force, and how it might impact Vandenberg and Santa Barbara County.

Let’s first dispense with what a Space Force won’t be. It won’t be astronauts with assault rifles. At least, not yet. It’ll be men and women in fatigues staring at computer screens and speaking to their commanders through headsets. Their main mission will be to protect U.S. satellites from foreign aggression, whether by hacking or actual attack. Russia and China have been building missiles powerful enough to take out a satellite, and in a show of force not long ago, China even shot down one of its own aging weather stations.

The concept is nothing new. Pentagon officials have long been pushing for some kind of space-focused division of the military as GPS technology became critical for guiding weapons and gathering intelligence. There’s also the billions of dollars locked up in private hardware beaming data to every American’s smartphone. The fact that a Space Force is now grabbing public attention has more to do with Trump’s bombast than anything else, Carbajal said.

“It’s in keeping with his vanity approach,” he said. “This is something that’s been explored in Congress and Armed Services for decades.”

Trump’s initial directive called for an entirely new branch of the armed forces that he described as “separate but equal” from the Air Force. It would have its own four-star general who would become the eighth member of the Joint Chiefs

of Staff. Cost estimates came in at $3 billion up front and $1.3 billion annually. Since then, both houses of Congress have jammed the brakes on the White House proposal and instead sought to nestle a Space Corps within the Air Force, similar to how the Marine Corps falls under the purview of the Navy.

As the Congressional approval lumbers along, Vandenberg remains on a short list of military facilities that might house what would become the U.S. Space Command, the operational headquarters for the Space Force/Corps, whatever name or form it ultimately takes. Carbajal is lobbying hard for the Santa Barbara base. “It would be great for the local economy,” he said. He recently sent a letter cosigned by senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris to Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson arguing Vandenberg’s advantages over the other finalists. It’s difficult to say how much money a U.S. Space Command would bring to the Santa Barbara region, but if the price tag to just set it up is any indication—$83 million—it could be a whole lot.

In truth, Vandenberg looks like the best option. It’s basically a Space Force already, serving as the West Coast launch site for the Department of Defense, tracking the thousands of pieces of debris orbiting the Earth, and coordinating with the National Reconnaissance Office on spy missions.

It’s situated in a state with some of the country’s best and brightest aerospace brains and was even selected, before the final U.S. Space Command location was named, to house a key component of the command that will steer groundbased troops and warn them of incoming missiles. “It’s a natural fit,” said Carbajal. The decision will come down later this summer.

But living as we do in a fiercely partisan, post-truth era, none of that may matter. The other bases lie in districts with representatives friendlier to the president, and the space pork might very well be served to them as a reward. And as with all things Trump, the avenues that would normally guide such a big government undertaking are clogged with chaos and controversy.

Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, who promised Carbajal at a Pentagon retreat that the decision would be based on “national security, not politics,” has since stepped down amid allegations of domestic abuse.

Secretary Wilson recently quit after clashing with White House officials and Shanahan over the Space Force plan.

Her heart was never in it. “The Pentagon is complicated enough,” she told reporters. “If I had more money, I would put it into lethality, not bureaucracy.”

Then there’s the pesky question of what the public actually wants. Turns out, it’s not a Space Force. Only 19 percent of respondents in an Associated Press-University of Chicago poll conducted in May said the U.S. should focus its space activities on military means. By contrast, 68 percent said we should use our resources to monitor asteroids, comets, and other things that could hit Earth. Even a poll of veterans, the majority of whom support Trump, revealed most don’t want a Space Force. It was the only one of his policies they disapproved of.

Whatever happens, Pence’s speech on Wednesday will remain memorable for a couple of reasons. First, it doubled down on a promise made by Trump that immediately spawned a Netflix comedy series starring Steve Carell. The show, its trailer says, will follow the men and women tasked with upholding the Space Force mission to “defend satellites from attack” and “perform other space-related tasks.” “Or something.”

Second, Pence’s address served as a quasi-campaign stop for Trump 2020. He invoked the president’s name often, assuring the troops that their commander in chief was proud of them and that he’d continue fighting for more defense spending to “restore the arsenal of democracy.” Earlier in the day, Pence hosted a “Trump Victory” luncheon at a naval air base in Fresno. The American tradition of an apolitical military was tossed out with the n leftovers.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

NONBLINKING LIGHTS: The last time I wrote

about the city’s Sign Committee, I think the Berlin Wall was just falling down. I remember wondering what the hell I was doing with my life. I didn’t have a good answer then. I still don’t.

Sometimes when reality overwhelms—as it is so loudly now—I seek refuge on top of mole hills rather than the mountain tops. The views aren’t as nice, but I’m less likely to sustain bodily harm if I trip and fall.

Such is the case now with City Hall’s narrowly defensible but utterly unfortunate decision to pick a fight about the neon sign hanging on the wall inside Institution Ale, which opened up shop on the 500 block of State Street just a few months ago. Institution Ale comes from Camarillo, where its mother ship launched about six years ago right next to the former Camarillo Psychiatric Hospital, which inspired its name and that of many of its drinks, to the consternation of some. It’s famous for brewing classic, in-your-face West Coast IPAs, the sort of over-amped fare that make my eyeballs seize in their sockets after half a glass. Personally, I’m not big a fan of beer that tastes how old basements smell. I’d rather chew a wrung-out bar rag. Give me a crisp lager or a pilsner instead—both of which, it turns out, Institution Ale serves—something superficially breezy and pleasant but still neurotic enough to be interesting.

But that’s not the point.

About a month again, Jaime Limón, a new

member of the city’s Sign Committee, was walking down State Street when he noticed that Institution Ale’s admittedly large yet still graphically understated interior neon sign might be closer to the front window than city code allows. Limón—who retired a year

ago after having worked 15 years as chief staff officer for the multitude of city sign review boards and should have known better — called in his concerns to city code enforcement workers, thus triggering an inquest which determined the sign encroached, though just barely, into the 10-foot set-back required of all interior neon from the shop’s front. “Just barely” doesn’t much count when it comes to horseshoes, being pregnant, or, it turns out, city sign ordinances. Hence, the owners received an official notice they could be fined as much as $200 a day for their sign’s disruption of our civic tranquility.

I can’t remember if it was Sun Tzu or Von Clausewitz who said “Pick your battles,” but clearly Limón—undeniably conscientious, dedicated, and hardworking when he was a cog in The Machine—was not listening. Similarly, Limón must have been otherwise distracted when Bill Clinton famously issued the 11th Commandment: “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Likewise, for the sage admonition “Let sleeping dogs lie,” first popularized by Sir Robert Walpole, Great Britain’s first prime minister back in the 1700s. Perhaps Limón knew Walpole said as much when the 13 colonies were erupting in revolution. That, we all know, didn’t end well

for Great Britain, and perhaps Limón did not wish to repeat that history.

Either way, he stepped in it. He should have stepped around it.

In 2011, the city’s sign ordinance was amended to deal with a proliferation of ticky-tacky, brick-brack string-light signs then popping up, installed by fly-by-night operators. By contrast, Institution Ale’s sign is art-house austere. Its building, which boasts the coolest expanse of curved, unreinforced window pane in town, has been designated as “streamline modern.” Its outdoor seating area is a great spot to watch the world go by.

While there, you forget that State Street is desperately trying to unflush the toilet it currently finds itself in. That’s because the 500 block—due to places like Institution Ale—is popping. In such a setting, Alfred E. Neuman of Mad Magazine might well have wondered, “What, me worry?” The 600 block of State Street, in sharp contrast, is all tumbleweeds, vacant storefronts, and real estate signs. It’s so dead panhandlers avoid it. The 400 block is a case study of attention deficit disorder on steroids. If it weren’t for the dirty bookstore —which notably holds Santa Barbara’s record for the longest surviving business in the same location—that block would have no defining anchor.

The owners of Institution Ale sought an exception from the Sign Committee and were shot down 2-1. Michael Drury, a contrarian and landscape painter, cast the sole dissenting vote.

“There is a need to balance the sign ordinance with reality,” he said. “And the reality is State Street needs all the help it can get.”

Joe Andrulaitis, architect for Institution Ale, said his clients will appeal it all the way to the City Council if need be, where I suspect it will ultimately be granted an exemption. Every step of the way, City Hall looks worse. If the appeal fails, the sign can be moved to a back wall where, counterintuitively, it would intrude far more aggressively in the faces of passersby.

Little wonder the first draft of a consultant’s report—paid for by City Hall—reportedly painted a grim picture of rigid fetishism

inside City Hall where red tape is concerned.

Limón, in an email, cited fairness and equity among his concerns. How can we expect other businesses to follow the rules if the city turns a blind eye to Institution Ale? “How can you say ‘no’ to other similar signs if this sign is allowed to remain?” he asked.

Fair question. Maybe the answer is there aren’t many—or any—similar signs.

It’s also that anyone walking down State Street can see a host of other signs that obviously violate the sign ordinance. Andrulaitis provided a photo slide show for the Sign Committee showing at least eight. Conspicuously, no enforcement actions have been initiated against any of them.

The good news? The Berlin Wall is no longer falling down. The bad news? Everything else is.

In the meantime, Institutionalize yourself.

How to Help

M

any are searching for ways to move beyond dismay and outrage over the treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers. The recent, horrific image of the drowned immigrant father and daughter is a call to action.

Want to do something in our own community to help stop the separation of families and the jailing of children? Please support our local S.B. County Immigrant Legal Defense Center (ILDC) to give its volunteer lawyers vital resources to keep families together pending deportation hearing appeals.

Since opening in 2018 the ILDC has: received almost 300 calls for help; trained more than 20 local attorneys and law students in the basic procedures for obtaining affordable bond and defending against deportation; represented people at bond hearings and in instances with reasonable bases to oppose deportation, such as asylum, juvenile status, and hardship; presented 166 “Know Your Rights” workshops and legal orientations in our community; and presented 30 workshops for families and undocumented minors in partnership with the S.B. Unified School District.

ILDC’s Director Julissa Pena received 42 calls from fearful residents on the same day she was interviewed on Radio Bronco. Many had a sound, legal basis for relief from deportation.

ILDC vitally needs funding now for at least one full-time lawyer devoted to removal defense. That will keep Santa Barbara families together and provide their rightful access to justice and due process.

To help, please send your tax-deductible donation payable to ILDC at 601 East Montecito St., Santa Barbara, CA, 93103. The Immigrant Legal Defense Center is a 501(3)(c) organization. And tell your friends.

Eviction Distinction

T

he stories about Dario Pini’s properties and tenants being given 30 or 60 evictions are not using the correct terminology. Unless the tenants have not paid rent, violated their rental agreements, and so on, they are being given a 30- or 60-day notice of termination of tenancy, which is different from an eviction.

An eviction is a legal action against a tenant. The

other is a notice. The difference is that an eviction goes through the court and into a database, much like a bankruptcy would. Landlords can run an eviction search, and it will come up and flag the tenant’s application. Or, if a rental application asks, “Have you ever been evicted?” most landlords will choose a prospective tenant with no record of evictions.

You have to take care in how a story is reported, and by using incorrect terminology, you are further — Loy Beardsmore, S.B. hurting the tenants.

What I Like About Being Old

What is best about being old?

I no longer need to do what I’m told.

Younger people open doors and smile at me when I visit stores.

Nobody tells me I must clean my plate I can sleep until noon and go to bed late or spend all day just reading a book.

I can go out to eat if I don’t want to cook.

I get a senior discount when I go to a show but if I don’t want to, I don’t have to go.

My grandkids think I’m a saint without sin though my children barely hide their chagrin.

I’ve pretty much made every mistake drank too much vodka, ate too much cake danced until dawn and lost the next day paying the price most revelers pay.

Best of all — no more nine to five and I’m constantly grateful I am still alive.

He is survived by his parents Alan and Polly Lipsky, his twin sister Shelby, his grandmothers Lyliane Bittner and Sue Lipsky, numerous aunts and uncles and dozens of cousins. He also leaves behind his most cherished dog Lou. Along with his beloved sister, Shane was born in Santa Barbara on July 14, 1999. Shane found solace in nature – pine trees and rivers were among his favorite places to be. Shane loved animals which was evident in some of his choices of employment: working at Dioji Canine Resort and Athletic Club and as a dog walker. Anyone who met Shane knew that he also had a passion for music. He loved the guitar and although he couldn’t read notes, he taught himself many of his favorite songs. People were always amazed at his eclectic music collection, never knowing what they were going to hear blaring from his room.

Shane was a sensitive soul who was caring and empathetic. He was funny and he kept us on our toes with his sarcastic, witty sense of humor. Shane will be greatly missed by his family and friends. We will forever hold him in our hearts. Rest in peace, sweet Shane.

A celebration of Shane’s life will be held at 12:00 p.m. at Kiwanis Meadows on Sunday, July 21. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Santa Barbara Humane Society.

Through the 70’s and 90’s, he was a primary mover in the Victory fleet and Santa Barbara Sailing Club. During that period he also rekindled his love for sailing along the eastern seaboard taking three more trips down the Intracoastal Waterway to Florida, the last single-handedly at the age of 70.

After retirement, he took on a parttime position as a City of Santa Barbara tennis court monitor at the Las Positas and Municipal Tennis Center, where he put to use his training at the Coast Guard Academy by sewing up countless tennis court nets.

His life will be celebrated on Saturday, July 20th, 3 PM at the Villa Santa Fe apartments, community room.

Fierce, funny, ment at Casa Dorinda is as vivid as the inte interior of her imagination. You have to look closely to spot the three James Beard Awards she’s won, dangling from the frames of paintings and photographs that mosaic nearly every inch of wall space. A wall-to-ceiling bookcase sags with the weight of her collection, including her own books of more than a dozen titles alongside her ex-husband’s and children’s publications.

Her shelves are strewn with artifacts: handmade pottery, costume jewelry, exotic feathers, knickknacks from a lifetime of international travel. There’s a diorama, a hand-felted quilt, a bundle of dried chilis, woven baskets. Completing the look, Southwestern artisan rugs spun with ochre, turquoise, and sienna render Fussell’s home a Technicolor dream.

“It’s a lot like my apartment was in New York City,” Fussell tells me. “Except the kitchen is much, much smaller here.”

She had to get rid of a lot of her belongings when she moved to Casa Dorinda, a retirement community in Montecito where fellow food writer and trailblazer Julia Child also lived. Fussell’s method for unloading before moving was to throw a party and invite all of her friends. The price of admission? “They had to take at least one item with them before leaving, one that meant something to them,” said Fussell.

All of the artifacts in Fussell’s home are connected to particular people or places. She surrounds herself in memories.

This depth of meaning given to ordinary, everyday objects is steeped in her writing, too. For Fussell, everything is a metaphor.

“We think if we just look close enough, dissect each thing, and see what it’s made of, the cells and particles, then we’ll understand it. Wrong. Just like you can’t cut open a person and know who they are. The story is hidden, invisible.” She means it’s impossible to truly know something or someone 20

In her sophomore year, the war ended and veterans returned to Pomona College. “Overnight, we were busted,” Fussell writes in My Kitchen Wars. “Not from officer to private, but to comfort women. We listened to their war stories, their tales of comic snafus, their broken laments, and never once dreamed of asking for equal time. We were not equal.”

She fell in love with a veteran who had served at the Battle of the Bulge, Paul Fussell, while at The Educated Wife Pomona College.

“It feels like we’re catapulting toward a conclusion of our own inevitable doing,” she comments at one point in our interview. “But let’s play with the narrative anyways.”

T

he interior of author Betty Fussell’s apart apart-

Frank

PAUL WELLMAN

This was far from satisfying for Fussell. She enrolled at Rad Radcliffe College while they lived in Princeton to receive her master’s degree in English, focusing on drama to avoid trespassing into her husband’s professional territory as an author.

In 1970, after having raised a daughter, Rosalind “Tucky,” and son, Sam, and having traveled widely with her husband, Fussell returned to school again to pursue her PhD in literature at Rutgers University. “Secretly, I think I wanted validation for all those years spent as an academic wife with no identity tag of my own, no credit given and none taken,” she explained. While her husband taught and published award-winning works, Fussell toiled away at her own thesis on “English Tragicomedy in the Renaissance.”

Paul was less supportive of her writing than she had been of his, describing her attempts at professional writing as “silly.” His opinion was common to the time, but all over, women like Fussell were staking their claim on creative and intellectual pursuits and redefining the possibilities for art along the way.

Betty and Paul divorced in 1981. Alone for the first time in decades, Fussell ventured to New York City to try to survive as a writer. “I was learning to think for myself, without fear of contempt … I could think any way I wanted, say anything I wanted. I was on my own.”

Fussell knew just what to do with her newfound freedom: She wrote. Her first book, Mabel: Hollywood’s First I-Don’tCare Girl, an in-depth biography of silent-film star Mabel Normand, was published in 1982. Fussell also pursued work as a journalist, writing articles for newspapers and magazines such as the New York Times, The New Yorker, Vogue, Saveur, and the Los Angeles Times.

Focusing on food journalism, Fussell was nothing short

for Survival. The book, a nod to M.F.K. Fisher’s How to Cook a Wolf, conveys Fussell’s history of food writing and her intimate experiences of aging.

“The thing that was major about M.F.K. Fisher,” she tells me, “is that she was really gorgeous, glamorous, beautiful. A seductress, a siren. A deliberate siren. So she, a seductress, said, ‘Don’t think of the wolf as your enemy. Invite him in.’

The wolf being whatever you are so afraid of. In my book, it’s a coyote instead of a wolf, but I also say, ‘Invite the coyote in.’ ” Fussell’s coyote is the sly, mischief-making cousin to Fisher’s wolf as she navigates her “rebirth following divorce in 1981 through a second rebirth at a retirement community in the present,” all writ in her zesty prose. “How to Cook a Coyote,” says Fussell, “is an ironic half-smile turned to a grin.” The kind of wide, toothy grin she gives me as she talks about it.

I ask Fussell how Fisher’s book plays into her own, and she tells me, “I loved the recipe for ‘sludge’ from Fisher. This was throwing everything in the icebox into a bowl and mixing it all up. She was all about recycling and making it tasty.

Whatever you have, you take it and you use it and you make it fun.” Throughout her life, Fussell has embraced the principle of making what she could with what she had—whether it was dealing with her challenging stepmother as a teenager, throwing a last-minute dinner party for dozens of literary denizens, or embarking on a new chapter after her divorce.

“Here’s the thing: You are what you are. You better find out what that is fast, and use it.” It’s another Betty-ism to add to an already long list, and like so much of her, it’s both unflinchingly honest and unapologetically playful. For Fussell, the coyote in her own book embodies wily cunning along with an insatiable hunger for life that she has found within herself. Both Fussell and the coyote are survivors — and tricksters — at heart.

When she began work on this new book 10 years ago, she’d termed it “A Manual for Survival in N.Y.C.,” but her move to Santa Barbara in 2012 expanded the book’s scope.

Survival on the West Coast, Fussell explains, was a different matter altogether from survival in the city. She had to write about both.

of a trailblazer. She avoided the traditional recipes and tidbits of yore and focused instead on the history and heritage of food. In the preface to her most recently published essay collection, 2016’s Eat, Live, Love, Die, Fussell writes, “When food is the lens, you can see all the contradictions of self and time right there on your plate. … Eating is the great connector.

Of fellow creaturehood. Chewing to the waltz of past, present, future. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Repeat. Laugh between bites.”

Fussell published a dozen more books and a hefty number of essays and articles over the next two decades. Her most successful, The Story of Corn, was published in 1992 and heralded as “hypnotic, alluring, and sustaining,” by the Los Angeles Times, and as being written “with zest and romance and hordes of gorgeously costumed extras” in the New York Times. The book made an indelible mark on food writing and culture across the country, leading to more opportunities for Fussell to teach, lecture, and continue to travel the world.

She’s a passionate and generous supporter of Santa Barbara arts, attending as many musical and theatrical performances as she is able, and participates in events at Casa Dorinda too.

Goleta Man Races to Alaska

G

(1) Get a Boat Without an Engine: Size or type doesn’t matter, but there can be no mechanical power, and you must remain on the same vessel throughout the race.

(2) Start in Port Townsend: The first 40 miles are through the infamously rough Strait of Juan de Fuca. After that, there are no specified stops or routes; go any way you want.

(3) Travel Unsupported: You may accept help from strangers, but no prearranged help is allowed, including no food drops or support boats.

(4) Finish One of Three Ways: Option 1 is to complete the “short” 40-mile course in Victoria. Option 2 is to finish the long course in Ketchikan. The third is finishing with the Sweep Boat. However, if it passes you, you are automatically disqualified.

COURTESY

oleta resident Alex Potter and his team of three other SoCal watermen recently finished 11th in the Race to Alaska, sometimes known as R2AK. A 750-mile-long, windand human-powered race from Port Townsend, B.C., to Ketchikan, Alaska, is the longest of its kind in North America. This is the fifth year the race has taken place, and 30 brave teams took on the full 750-mile challenge. “I’ve had my eye on the race since the 2nd year it took place. I turned 40 last October, and my wife said, ‘So, what’re you gonna do for your 40th?’” This was it.

The race has only four rules:

NO FEAR: Alex Potter celebrated his 40th with a challenge.

Triceratops, a name given to the boat by Potter’s kids. Despite running into some difficulty in the early stages of the race, including a broken rudder, Givin’ the Horns was able to pedal, row, and sail themselves to the finish line in just 10 days. “We have all really missed the race since we finished. It was an amazing experience. Seriously, amazing,” said Potter.

Givin’ the Horns has decided to participate in the race again next year and has created a Go Fund Me to help sponsor the endeavor. To donate to the team, visit gofundme.com/get-Triceratops-sailingagain.

Fashion

ny successful new business has a story of hard work behind it. Some also have luck. Kevin Mahany and Ata Sari have both. The UCSB graduates launched their kids fashion store, Mama Luma, in Paseo Nuevo in 2017 and just announced the brand’s first international franchise in Abu Dhabi.

Mama Luma’s clothes, explained Mahany, are inspired by designs created by Sari’s mother, who stitched dresses for her daughter back in their home city of Istanbul. “[Sari’s mom] is like a mom to me too, and to be able to spread her art around the world is such an amazing opportunity,” said Mahany of the pair’s decision to merge the elegance of European tradition with the beauty of Santa Barbara’s surroundings.

Two annual collections turned into a singular style, as the brand is “more about expressing yourself individually the whole year,” said Mahany. “Even if fashion is not something valuable in your life, it’s still an opportunity for you as an individual and for your child to experience another color on the palette of expression.”

The Abu Dhabi franchisee found Mama Luma while traveling from Dubai and approached Mahany last January. After months of negotiations, the store officially opened on May 22. The company plans on growing its customer base online but will always put THE INDEPENDENT

Front and Center for Executive Order

A

Santa Barbara family took center stage last Wednesday, July 10, during Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order to overhaul the country’s kidney treatment industry. Andrew and Jamie Nash, holding their one-year-old son, Hudson, who was born with significant damage to both of his kidneys, stood behind the president as he announced a sweeping set of reforms aimed at lowering care costs, developing new treatments, and improving the donor system.

But before Trump planted a kiss on Hudson and placed pen to paper, Jamie was invited to speak at the podium at the Ronald Reagan building. “Kidney care is very dear to our hearts,” she said, describing Hudson’s medical condition and the constant care it requires. “To keep him going, he takes numerous medicines, receives multiple shots, blood draws, and more doctors’ visits than I can count.” Hudson will go on dialysis until he’s big enough to receive a transplant, Jamie said, hopefully in the next year. Even after that, it’s a disease he’ll deal with forever, “never going more than three months without a blood draw and multiple medicines twice a day.”

Wednesday’s announcement was a “game-changer for what Hudson’s life could be like,” Jamie told the Independent. She ticked off ff the ways it could help her son and the 37 million other Americans who struggle with chronic kidney disease, which costs Medicare $113 billion a year, a staggering one-fifth of all Medicare spending.

Among the White House’s initiatives are increasing the supply of donated kidneys by allowing reimbursement of lost wages and other expenses for living donors, making it easier for patients to receive dialysis in the comfort of their own homes, changing Medicare to provide a financial incentive for doctors and clinics to help patients stave off ff end-stage disease, and prioritizing the development of an artificial kidney. Many of the changes are taking place through Medicare’s Innovation Center, created under the Obama-era Affordable ffordable Care Act. ff A main goal of Trump’s order is to improve detection and diagnosis of kidney disease and reduce the number of kidney failure cases by 25 percent by 2030. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 96 percent of people with kidney damage or reduced function don’t know they have a problem. The order also incentives treatment centers to modernize the organ-transplant system. Right now, there are more than 94,000 people on the national organ waiting list in need of a kidney. Last year, only 21,000 received transplants.

Jamie said the event was a rare and refreshing bipartisan effort ffort to ff address a medical issue that affects ffects so many Americans. Politics didn’t ff feel part of it, she said, and you have to admire the White House for taking such an important step, no matter how you feel about the president. The administration said it was the first kidney-focused executive order since the 1970s. “It was long overdue,” Jamie said, “but I’m glad they’re making such a huge change now.”

The Nash family has also created a Facebook page sharing Hudson’s story and asking for volunteer donors. Find it at facebook.com/akidneyforhudson/.

Laughs at Getting Old

Books

A

fter a career as an entrepreneur, author of seven “serious” books, New York Times staffer, ffer, and organizer of Santa Barbara’s Jewish ff Film Festival, Barbara Greenleaf keeps taking creative turns into her mid-seventies. She just published a book called This Old Body: And  Other Reasons to Laugh at Life, and tells us a little about why.

What inspired you to write this book? One day I noticed that all of my parts were falling apart. Aliens from Mars had captured my arms and inserted jiggles in them, minmin iscule construction workers had gotten inside my eyelids and made them droop like wilted lettuce, and someone had hung a “Vacancy” sign where my brain used to reside. The only way I could fight back was by making fun of these frightening developments. I jotted them down, read them aloud, everyone laughed— laughed and This is Old Body was born.

Why is humor so important as people age? If nothing else, it’s good for your health. Laughter releases all those feel-good endorphins. I read that people who laugh a lot have 66 percent less inflammation than those with no sense of humor. It’s also good for your looks — laugh lines are so much more attractive than frown lines. Finally, instead of bemoaning the betrayals, humiliations, and everyday aggravations that come with the passing years — and aging ain’t for sissies, as we know— know you might as well make up your mind to treat them with the humorous disdain they deserve. It puts you in charge.

What are some funny anecdotes? As I recount in “Hair: The Reality, Not the Musical,” one night my husband took a look at my scalp as I bent down to cut into a lamb chop, and he blurted out, “My God, you have a bald spot!”

When he saw my stricken look, he quickly said, “Not to worry, it’s only a small one; no one will notice,” and the makers of Rogaine for Women have been grateful ever since.

Recently, too, at my annual physical, I did that calculation peculiar to middle-aged women: Take off ff your shoes and weigh a half pound less or put them on and be a half inch taller. I put them on, fluffed ffed up my hair, ff and practiced my very best posture — yet still I had shrunk a stunning one and a half inches. I’m now applying to the Little People of America, since it’s clear where this is going.

Who should read this book? Any man or woman over 50 who still has enough breath to fog a mirror and/or needs a chiropractor, massage therapist, dermatologist, Pilates instructor, nutritionist, physical therapist, and orthopedist to prop up their old body.

The farm business started almost by accident. We purchased chickens for Grandpa to enjoy and started selling the extra eggs. From there we began selling chickens, more eggs, and then coops. As we continued to grow and scale the business over the last five years, we added produce, livestock, and farm events.

Why did you start hosting dinners on-site?

MR: In 2015, we funded a Kickstarter project for our

farm’s cold storage building, and as a thank-you to our biggest backers, we hosted two private farm dinners for them and up to eight guests. The dinners were a huge success, and we found that they were a great way to get our bearings for hosting special food-centered community events that reconnect people with their local farms. Since then we’ve hosted two to three dinners per year, featuring local winemakers or breweries.

What can visitors expect when they come to a dinner?

JR: The best and most authentic farm-to-table

dinner money can buy! Guests arrive and enjoy an appetizer and a glass of wine or beer, and then embark on a brief farm tour. I lead the tour and explain the history behind the farm, how we’ve grown over the years, and most importantly, what the future holds.

After the tour, a specially curated farm-to-table dinner will commence. The cows and goats they

ORGANIC GANGSTER RETURNS PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

SPENCER THE GARDENER RELEASES SECOND ALBUM ABOUT FOOD AND FARMING

YOUNG AT HEART: Spencer “the Gardener” Barnitz recently unveiled Organic Gangster Vol. 2.

S

pencer “the Gardener” Barnitz remains a fixture of Santa Barbara’s homegrown music scene, which the Mesaraised singer/songwriter entered back in the 1980s. A decade ago, after years of playing sunshine-kissed, Latin-infused, utterly unique pop-rock-jazz-funk, he busted into a brand-new genre — children’s music — by releasing Organic Gangster, a fun-loving, singalong album of catchy tunes about food, farming, nature, and more.

This year, Barnitz unveiled Organic Gangster Vol. 2, and has been hitting the familyfriendly circuit hard. Here, he reflects on this unlikely evolution.

What prompted you to record music for kids?

When I released the first Organic Gangster in 2009, I had no idea how many bands and solo artists had recorded kid and family-type records. Almost everyone! If I would have looked into it, I might not have continued.

So it was lucky I didn’t, as it was a beautiful mistake that opened up a whole new territory in subject, songwriting, and audience.

It was also timely because California was at the forefront of the organic movement, at least in the United States, and, basically, “Old Macdonald” had a brand-new farm.

What led to the second album? I started playing in lots of schools throughout the 805, which is a surprisingly big area when you change the way you look at it, and every short distance is brand-new. So after the continued success of Organic Gangster, I knew it was only a matter of time before I

recorded OG Vol. 2.. The process ended up being a bit longer, but I was in no hurry.

It’s the same time frame with OG Vol. 3 — no hurry. And Old Macdonald’s farm is still brand-new and constantly changing.

What’s different about Vol. 2? This new record has an even more eclectic feel and there are no rules, at least for me, in this genre. I’m not even sure if this is a kids’ release. That being said, there are more songs about food—“Sweet Potato,” “Ballad of the Strawberry,” “Fruits and Vegetables,” “Granola” — as well as the natural world: “Hey Whale,” “El Niño,” and a song by Shawn C. White called “Riding my Bicycle,” which suits any age. I feel that way about all these songs.

Who else is on the album? It was produced

by Tom Lackner, who also played on all the tracks in one way or another, and features the many talents of Jim Connolly as well as the vocal talents of my sister, Liz Barnitz, who goes on a little scat-singing jazz journey on “Fruits and Vegetables.”

How does it feel to be the OG OG? I feel extremely lucky that I stumbled into this Organic Gangster world. Playing schools and shows for kids is always surprising in one way or another and it gives back intangibles: smiles and questions and ways of looking at things that I hadn’t thought about. It’s whimsical for sure and I often leave laughing!

—Matt Kettmann

Spencer the Gardener will be playing songs off of Organic Gangster Vol. 2 during Old Spanish Days on July 31, 8 p.m., at Casa Cantina and on August 3 in De La Guerra Plaza. See facebook.com/ spencerthegardener.

MICHAELKATE GALLERY Years before the Funk Zone got its name, the neighborhood’s future as an arts destination was predicted

by MichaelKate Interiors, the showroom at the corner of Santa Barbara and Yanonali streets where Michael McColm and his staff display the best in contemporary, modern, and transitional furnishings. From the beginning, the store has been more than a place for furniture.

Amid the masterpieces of modern design, MichaelKate has always hung work by the county’s top artists in tableau designed to envision how their art might look in a beautiful Santa Barbara home.

MichaelKate was recognized as a forerunner of the Funk Zone art scene by Santa Barbara Beautiful with the City of Santa Barbara Arts Advisory Committee’s Business of Art Award in 2013. On the heels of that success, and with an eye to developing a curatorial program that gives artists the highest level of support and recognition, the

“Variegated Covered Jar #3” by Patrick Hall space was reimagined this summer as the MichaelKate Gallery, and six artists have been chosen to represent the gallery’s core mission. Patti Post, Douglas DaFoe, Brad Nack, Patrick Hall, Adam Brown, and Tom Post all now have major works on display there in an exhibit that will run through 2019 and beyond, with new pieces deployed at intervals to freshen and supplement the initial grouping.

The mix of new artists with new work by familiar names makes this show particularly appealing. DaFoe’s elegant modernism manifests through marquetry, the use of painstakingly prepared geometric shapes in wood to create complex, highly pleasing designs. Post’s “PostModern” paintings employ figurative devices to achieve bold abstract effects. Hall’s extraordinary ceramics deploy bold shapes and distinctive surfaces to create strong statements. Brown’s photographs are printed in a High Dynamic Range process on aluminum panels to achieve a kind of brilliance and translucency ordinarily associated with painting. There are several major recent works by Nack that show the well-known reindeer man breaking boundaries and revealing the intensity he can achieve when working at a large scale. The overall impact of the show, and of the new gallery initiative, once again puts MichaelKate at the forefront of the Funk Zone scene. — Charles Donelan

REFRESH YOUR

SUMMER PLAYLIST Summer, more than any other season, requires music.

What matters when it comes to filling one’s longest days with ear-ravishing splendor is to keep it fresh. In that spirit, here are three new releases sure to bring on summertime bliss.

MASAKI BATOH, NOWHERE

Japanese experimental rock pioneer Masaki Batoh brings his mastery of acoustic guitar improvisation together with his considerable producing chops on this mesmerizing session of psychfolk from Tokyo.

Check out the multilayered rocker “Sundown” for the latter, and the inventive acoustic guitar workout “BoiTaull” for the former. Batoh sings in English, Japanese, and, on one track, Latin!

AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS, S/T Feisty punks from Melbourne, the Sniffers are a group featuring charismatic lead singer Amy Taylor. Taylor’s “non coy” persona (her words) works perfectly in the context of the band’s noisy, in-your-face approach to the classic punk genre. At just under 30 minutes, this is summer 2019’s tightest, most energetic musical statement.

J BALVIN/BAD BUNNY, OASIS Put this on to start the fiesta and you will be immediately transported to the summer’s loosest, most troublefree VIP section.

Bad Bunny and J Balvin are reggaetón stars from Puerto Rico and Colombia, respectively, and on this collaboration they’ve hit the jackpot, not only commercially — the record is already a huge club hit — but also groove-wise. So what if the lyrics are all about the high life? It’s still July, and we are just getting started.

fter a three-year hiatus, The Head and the Heart is back with a new record, Living Mirage. Formed in 2009, the band has a decade of experience in the music industry, giving them plenty of time to reflect, grow, and find their identity. Living Mirage shows the band as lively as ever, while feeling more confident in their emotional musical groundings.

Ahead of the group’s 38-stop North American tour, I spoke to vocalist, songwriter, and instrumentalist Jonathan Russell to learn more about what’s to come for the band.

their own and existing on fringes that sometimes sucked the literal life out of its scenesters (e.g., Angie Xtravaganza’s tragic story). The milieu was also rife with possibilities for a good documentarian’s intimate, very much in-house investigation.

This film is that, as well as an important contribution to contemporary documentary cultures, and it gains an added layer of exoticism through the retro filter. (JW) Riviera

(71 mins., NR)

Aptly, the theme song of Jennie Livingston’s powerful 1990 doc (recently restored and re-released) is Cheryl Lynn’s 1978 disco-pumped, ecstatically vocalized “Got to Be Real.” The film deposits us in the alternate universe of drag queens and the gay “ballroom” scene of N.Y.C. in the mid- to late ’80s, out of which the fleeting, Madonna-flamed “voguing” fad was born. Contestants vied for trophies and “a fantasy of being a superstar,” and also for attaining “realness,” with fashion-dance categories such as “Executive Realness,” alongside “Pretty Girl,”“Luscious Body,” and “Butch Queen First Time at a Ball.”

It was a sub-scene full of passionate and charismatic outcasts, as the film amply demonstrates, living large on terms all-

Metro 4

(91 mins., PG)

Perhaps the biggest triumph at this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival was The Biggest Little Farm, a fascinating documentary on the humble beginnings, struggles, and ultimate success story of Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark. Urban refugee filmmaker John Chester rolled camera(s), extensively and obsessively, on the project he undertook with his wife, Molly, tracing the radical transformation of a neglected plot of land in Ventura County into a wildly diversified farm— now a model of sustainability worthy of visitor tours. Sidestepping the “dry doc” syndrome, the film depicts their so-far seven-year adventure and arc of selfeducation with seductive visuals and an engaging dramatic moxie. On the sonic front, Jeff Beal’s Disney-fied orchestral music seems all wrong for such a literally organic tale, which cries out for something acoustic and rootsy. That quibble aside, The Biggest Little Farm charms and inspires with an epic DIY story from deep inside the 805. (JW) Riviera Crawl (87 mins., R) When a Category 5 hurricane hits a Florida town, Haley Keller (Kaya Scodelario) goes against the evacuation orders and stays to find her father Dave (Barry Pepper), who is trapped in a crawlspace basement. They battle rising waters and alligators as they try to escape the raging storm.

Echo in the Canyon (82 mins., PG-13) This documentary explores the L.A.’s Laurel Canyon 1967-69 music scene, which produced iconic groups such as the Byrds, the Beach Boys, and Buffalo Springfield. Great interviews with Roger McGuin, Ringo Starr, and the late Tom Petty, among others.

O Rocketman

(121 mins., R)

Dexter Fletcher’s Elton John biopic is an engaging representation of the legendary artist’s rise to fame and struggle with drug abuse. The film has some issues with a scattered narrative and shaky dialogue, but remains striking nonetheless. Through a powerful performance from lead Taron Egerton and a flamboyant visual aesthetic, the film captures unique nuances of Elton’s career such as his outrageous costumes and wild sense of humor. However, some tropes of the music biopic stick out with elements like an overly dramatic first artistic breakthrough scene and a stereotypical record agent. Despite this, Rocketman is a must see for any music fan as the musical and aesthetic nostalgia of the film is very much worthwhile. (MPG) Fairview/Paseo

WAITING GAME: Hunter Breault (top left) sits next to Brad Demco (10) in the bullpen of the Santa Barbara Foresters. On the diamond, lead-off hitter Eric Kennedy (3) triggers the offense with a triple against the Arroyo Seco Saints.

FORESTERS’ BULLPEN FULL OF ZOOKS Pitchers Star This Season for Santa Barbara’s Best Baseball Squad

win, 5-1. For setting the tone in that inning, Breault was named Most Valuable Player — shades of Shane Bieber, who pitched a perfect inning before his hometown fans in Cleveland and was named MVP of the Major League All-Star Game.

“I didn’t think it was possible,” Breault said of his award. He pointed out that two other Foresters pitchers, Cole Quintanilla and Ryan Bergert, combined for three strikeouts in the ninth.

“Good, young, live arms come to Santa Barbara and always do well for the team,” said Breault, who came back for a second summer with the Foresters. “This is a place you have a great time and get better as a baseball player.”

Demco, who formerly pitched for Sam Houston State, said he soon expects to land an offer from another Division 1 school.

During the Prospect Game, Pintard was interviewed by Fox Sports West and explained why he has spent the last 25 summers fielding the Foresters.

“It’s really easy for me,” he said. “I love to do it. I tell them, ‘I get to watch you guys play baseball, and I don’t have to buy a ticket.’”

He does have to help raise funds to send them to Wichita every August for the National Baseball Congress World Series, but that’s another attraction. The Foresters won a record seventh crown last year in the nation’s oldest amateur baseball tournament. Pintard said, “The thrill of being the last team standing — I get bumps to think about it.”

Through last weekend, the Foresters had a record of 989303 since Pintard took over in 1995. Nine games remain in the regular season, and with the CCL playoffs at Thousand Oaks and their next trip to Wichita, they could conceivably win No. 1,000 before this summer is out.

While the pitching has been solid, Santa Barbara’s bats have been making noise lately as well. Eric Kennedy, a speedy outfielder, is hitting .380 in the lead-off spot. Generally known for putting the ball in play and flying around the bases, the Foresters have legitimate power-hitters in Fresno State’s Zack Presno, Stanford’s Nick Bellafronto, and Cal-Berkeley’s Quentin Selma.

Santa Barbara’s last weekend homestand at Pershing Park will be this Saturday, July 20, against the Saints (6 p.m.), and Sunday against the Academy Barons (2 p.m.).

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK 7/20: Flag Football: Blondes vs. Brunettes It’s a bruising nineon-nine women’s football game for a cause. Proceeds from this sixth annual fundraiser will support the California Central Coast Chapter Alzheimer’s Association. The first five games raised almost $400,000. The squads include many active soccer players, but watch out for old-school quarterback Leanne Ledbetter, captain of the Brunettes, who throws spirals like her idol, Johnny Unitas.

Tailgate: 11:30am; Kickoff: 2pm. Garden Street Academy, 2300 Garden St. $20-$25. (VIP tickets $75). Visit act.alz.org/blondesvsbrunettessb.

damper on his sensational season. As of Sunday, he led the major leagues with his .349 batting average. In an era of the long-ball, the 27-year-old infielder/outfielder slaps the ball around in the fashion of Wade Boggs or Ichiro Suzuki.

McNeil grew up in Santa Barbara, learned to swing a bat at Batty’s on Milpas, attended Foresters baseball camps, and played in the Goleta Little League. His family moved to Nipomo, and after graduating from Nipomo High, he came to play for the Foresters in 2010. “I weighed 145 pounds,” he recalled when he was inducted into the Foresters Hall of Fame.

McNeil was an impactful player out of Long Beach State when he played for the Foresters in 2011, helping them win their third NBC World Series crown. He made his debut for the Mets last year and swung his way into the hearts of their fans.

McNeil has gotten his weight up to 190, thanks to his wife, Tatiana. As he told the Hall of Fame gathering at the Carriage Museum in February, “I ate her chicken parmesan every day for a year.”

McCann also was a Goleta Little Leaguer and a catcher at Dos Pueblos High and Arkansas. He had an eventful game for the winning American League All-Stars, lacing a single in his only at-bat and making a lunging catch of a pop fly for the last out of the eighth inning with the potential tying and winning runs in scoring position.

When McCann was still a DP student, he accompanied teammate Chris Joyce, a Foresters pitcher, on a road trip to San Luis Obispo in 2007. It was his 17th birthday, and Pintard put him behind the plate for an inning. Although he never took an at-bat for the team, the Foresters can lay claim to McCann as n one of their 48 players who have gone to the big leagues.

FORESTERS PLAYERS OF THE WEEK JIM BUCKLEY

T

he bullpen is one of baseball’s distinctive features. At Pershing Park, it is a fenced enclosure along the left-field line that resembles a cage. This summer’s occupants are a gnarly bunch of pitchers assembled by Santa Barbara Foresters manager Bill Pintard. “Bill calls us the Zooks,” said Brad Demco. “We’re a bunch of animals down here. You can’t tame the Zooks.”

Demco and his fellow flingers do the taming. The pitching staff ’s earn-run-average is 2.63, a big reason the Foresters had a 23-7 record through last weekend and were well on their way to another first-place finish in the California Collegiate League (CCL).

Careful not to wear out the arms of still-developing college players, Pintard sends waves of hurlers into each game.

Twenty-four men have taken the mound for the 2019 Foresters. Luke Taggart, logging 28 innings in six appearances, has put in the most work.

Foremost among the relief pitchers are Demco and Hunter Breault, a pair that has yet to allow a run in 261/3 combined innings. They have limited opposing batters to five hits.

Demco had a stretch of nine hitless innings. “A bullpen nohitter,” he said.

Pintard called on them to finish off last Sunday’s 9-4 victory over the Orange County Riptide, the Foresters’ stiffest rival this season. Demco, a southpaw, struck out the side with one walk in the seventh inning. The righthander Breault put a couple of batters on in the eighth but induced an inningending double play off a comebacker, and he concluded a 1-2-3 ninth with strikeout.

In last week’s CCL Prospect Game — a display of the league’s talent at the Major League Academy in Compton — Breault started for Pintard’s Nationals. The fireballer from Oregon mowed down the top of the Americans lineup, striking out two of them, then sat down and watched the Nationals go on to

ALL-STAR STUFF: The All-Star Game in Cleveland was replete

with Santa Barbara connections. Bieber was the big story. He was a UCSB walk-on out of Laguna Hills, went on to pitch the Gauchos into the 2016 College World Series, and made a meteoric rise into the major leagues after being drafted in the fourth round by Cleveland.

Two Santa Barbara natives, Jeff McNeil of the New York Mets and James McCann of the Chicago White Sox, made their All-Star debuts.

McNeil flied out in his only at-bat, but that hardly put a

The slugging third baseman from Stanford smashed a home run and double in Santa Barbara’s 6-4 victory over the visiting Arroyo Seco Saints, three days after hitting a homer and triple against the Saints in Pasadena.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I want to do things so wild with you that I don’t know how to say them.” Author Anaïs Nin wrote that in a letter to her Capricorn lover, Henry Miller. Is there anyone you could or should or want to say something like that? If your answer is yes, now is a good time to be so candid and bold. If the answer is no, now would be a good time to scout around for a person to whom you could or should or want to say such a thing. And if you’d like to throw in a bit more enticement, here’s another seductive lyric from Anaïs: “Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.”

email. “I was afraid I was getting too bogged down by my duties,” he said, “too hypnotized by routine, too serious about my problems. So I took drastic action.”

He then described the ways he broke out of his slump.

Here’s an excerpt: “I gave laughing lessons to a cat. I ate a spider. I conducted a sneezing contest. I smashed an alarm clock with a hammer. Whenever an elderly woman walked by, I called out ‘Hail to the Queen!’ and did a backflip. I gave names to my spoon (Hortense), the table (Beatrice), a fly that was buzzing around (Fallon), and a toothpick (Arturo).” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aries, you’d be wise to stage a comparable uprising.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Welcome home, homegirls and home-

boys. After observing all your homesteading in homes away from home, I’m pleased to see you getting curious about the real home brew again. I wonder how many times I’ll say the word “home” before you register the message that it’s high time for you to home in on some homemade, homegrown homework? Now here’s a special note to any of you who may be feeling psychologically homeless or exiled from your spiritual home: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to address that ache and remedy that problem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The world is full of eternally restless

people who seethe with confused desires they don’t understand. Fueled by such unfathomable urges, they are driven in unknown directions to accomplish fuzzy goals. They may be obsessed in ways that make them appear to be highly focused, but the objects of their obsession are impossible to attain or unite with. Those objects don’t truly exist! I have described this phenomenon in detail, Gemini, because the coming months will offer you all the help and support you could ever need to make sure you’re forever free of any inclination to be like that.

fornia mom who started a series of forest fires so as to boost her son’s career as a firefighter? She is an apt role model for behavior you should diligently avoid in the coming weeks. It’s unwise and unprofitable for you and yours to stir up a certain kind of trouble simply because it’s trouble that you and yours have become skilled at solving. So how should you use your problem-solving energy, which I suspect will be at a peak? I suggest you go hunting for some very interesting and potentially productive trouble that you haven’t wrangled with before — some rousing challenge that will make you even smarter than you already are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The heroine of Alice in Wonderland

and Through the Looking-Glass is curious, adventurous, and brave. First, she follows a well-dressed rabbit down a rabbit hole into an alternate universe. Later, she slips through a mirror into yet another parallel reality. Both times, with great composure, she navigates her way through many odd, paranormal, and unpredictable events. She enjoys herself immensely as she deals with a series of unusual characters and unfamiliar situations.

I’m going to speculate that Alice is a Pisces. Are you ready for your very own Alice-in-Wonderland phase?
