Celebrating Life In the fall, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art hosts an annual community celebration of the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos—Day of the Dead. The Dia de los Muertos celebration at the Museum is about the intersection between art and the community. It is about a centuriesold tradition that comes alive and is reenacted in exciting ways. So come join us in October to celebrate life. Think of a museum that is committed to moving far beyond its walls to engage people and change lives.

Jeff Bridges in a Food Fight Against Childhood Hunger
33124
People can be forgiven for thinking Trixie the Angry Poodle is The Indy’s totemic icon, but we’re really mostly in a Homer Simpson frame of mind, and we like to think we’re all “mostly balanced,” too — well, except when it comes to donuts and oil spills. But it’s nothing like N’awlins, our copy editor Diane Mooshoolzadeh found out, where the mood is all voodoo, jazz everywhere, bars, bars, bars, cops on horseback, the best food ever —including beignets at the Café Du Monde—and this water that fell from the sky! Oh, yeah. Rain!

NO TRACTION: Supporters of short-term vacation rentals, wearing green ribbons, packed City Hall in record numbers, hoping to persuade the council to regulate, rather than ban, the new Internet-based mom-and-pop hospitality industry.
crammed, rammed, Jammed, and slammed Council to Lower Boom on Vacation-Rental Market

oting with unusual unanimity, the Santa Barbara City Council made it emphatically clear Tuesday night it will not be legalizing the booming shortterm vacation-rental market anytime soon. Instead, the council indicated it would initiate a wave of enforcement proceedings against home-hospitality entrepreneurs operating outside the confines of City Hall’s zoning codes. Those hoping the council would yield to the popularity and seeming inevitability of the sharing economy—by choosing to regulate rather than to ban—left disappointed. So, too, did those hoping the council would mull the matter over in a year’s worth of deliberations. In an accommodating gesture to what’s become a large and lucrative cottage industry, the council indicated it would explore zoning changes to allow “home sharing” operations. Those are short-term vacation-rentals in residential homes occupied by the owner, not to be confused with “vacation-rentals” in which the owner is not present. This broad policy direction came at the end of an intense and grueling four-hour meeting that surpassed council attendance records in decades. At one point, the meeting was interrupted by order of the Fire Marshal; too many people were crammed into the council chambers, not to mention the adjoining room, the hallways outside the chambers, and even the City Hall balcony. Though not all spoke, no fewer than 90 people took out speaker slips to testify.
How many short-term vacation-rentals have sprung up throughout the South Coast remains a matter of conjecture. Community Development Director George Buell suggested the number may be as high as 1,000. But to date, only one has applied for and received all the necessary permits from City Hall. (Under existing law, short-term vacation-rentals may be permitted in neighborhoods zoned for apartments, motels, and hotels, but only after a host of other rigorous regulatory hurdles have been overcome.) About 350 have taken out business licenses and have been paying bed taxes to City Hall. Of those, 248 were doing business in neighborhoods specifically zoned to not allow such commercial activity. Almost every councilmember expressed serious concern that City Hall had sent dangerously mixed messages by accepting taxes for business operations that were not legal. This year, for example, City Hall took in $1.2 million in transient occupancy taxes from vacation-rentals; the year before, it was $800,000. Next year, it is projected to be $1.6 million. Industry enthusiasts told councilmembers vacation-rental bed-tax revenues could hit $3 million if and when City Hall figured out how to legalize—and regulate—such businesses. They showed up in force wearing green ribbons on their shirts. Many were younger professionals struggling to secure a toehold in Santa Barbara’s notoriously expensive homeownership market; many spoke movingly of being laid off or laid low by serious illness, and how the vacation-rental market saved

them from economic ruin. Many told the councilmembers that without the income generated by such rentals, they could not afford to stay in Santa Barbara. While theirs was clearly the dominant message the council received, it was not the only one. Showing up, as well, were many vocal residents aggrieved by changes to their neighborhoods inflicted by steady streams of short-term strangers. There was much mention of bachelorette parties in particular, rowdy barbecues, and humming hot tubs. But advocates of vacation-rentals pointed out that only 10 complaints had been filed against such operations this year, and Buell noted that since 2004, only 67 have been shut down based on such complaints. Numerically underrepresented in the room were many of Santa Barbara’s long-struggling tenants, but their plight was described by Rob Pearson and Geoff Green, both with the Housing Authority. With vacancy rates less than one percent and rents increasing 30 percent in the last four years, they testified, the burgeoning vacation-rental market has succeeded at the expense of the monthly rental market. With City Hall investing so heavily in affordable housing —with time, policy, and capital—did it make sense, they demanded, to allow an illegal business that only exacerbated the gap between supply and demand? Champions of short-term vacation-rentals countered that most of their units would never revert to long-term rentals and that prohibition would not solve the city’s housing shortage. Many noted their properties were cont’d page 11

The Oscar-winning composer for Titanic, James Horner (pictured), was killed when the small turboprop plane he was piloting went down near Cuyama on 6/22. No passengers were on board. The crash caused a one-acre brushfire that was quickly contained. One of Hollywood’s most respected film composers, Horner, 61, won two Oscars in 1998 for Titanic’s original score and song “My Heart Will Go On.” Horner was nominated for Oscars for his work on Braveheart, Apollo 13, Aliens, A Beautiful Mind, and Avatar. His other credits include 48 Hrs., Field of Dreams, The Perfect Storm, Legends of the Fall, and many others. “CarMax is playing recalled-car roulette with its customers’ lives,” said Rosemary Shahan, president of Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, talking about her group and CALPIRG’s charge that the usedcar chain sells vehicles with open federal safety recalls. She called on the Department of Motor Vehicles and Attorney General Kamala Harris to investigate the practice. For CarMax’s part, Casey Werderman, a company spokesperson, said the resale giant provides every customer with a VIN-specific recall report, which the customer must sign off on along with their sales documents. Encountering strong currents and offshore winds, a Solvang man in his late fifties was carried away from shore while kayaking, with the Gaviota Pier a mere 100 yards away. The unidentified man was rescued by the Coast Guard Halibut crew around 3:30 a.m. on 6/20, nine miles off the Gaviota Coast, suffering from mild hypothermia after spending 14 hours in the water wearing shorts, a T-shirt, and life vest. His wife had contacted Gaviota park rangers and lifeguards, and they and the Sheriff’s Office, Search & Rescue, County Fire ocean rescue, and a Coast Guard helicopter helped in the search.

exxon orders full stop SITTING IDLE: ExxonMobil’s Heritage platform, along with its Harmony and Hondo platforms, are out of commission after the Refugio Oil Spill killed the pipeline that transports their crude.
mi c ha e l stout
County officials anticipate ExxonMobil will submit a standard application to truck oil out of its Las Flores Facility to a refinery up the coast, an approval process expected to take upward of 10 months. Last week, Exxon exhausted its Las Flores Canyon storage capacity — 400,000 barrels — and shut down its operations at three offshore platforms. Shortly after the Refugio Oil Spill, Exxon had cut its production from roughly 30,000 barrels a day to about 8,500. On June 9, the county’s Planning and Development department denied an ExxonMobil emergency permit to allow as many as 192 trucks each day to travel on Highway 101 to a refinery on the grounds the request did not constitute an emergency as defined in county zoning codes. Whether or not the county would grant a standard application after environmental review would be up to the Board of Supervisors and could be appealed to the California Coastal Commission. According to county Energy Division Deputy Director Kevin Drude, the ultimate destination has not been proposed and no other modes of transportation have been discussed. Venoco and Freeport-McMoRan also shut down production — 8,000 barrels a day combined — shortly after the spill. As of press time, the companies had not submitted trucking permits. Currently, Exxon’s facilities are in standby mode, Drude explained, and the company has provisions in place for routine maintenance known as “turnarounds,” which typically occur for a week or so each year. If Las Flores’ storage facilities were to ever rupture — a question Drude has fielded recently — big open ponds around the tank could hold 100 percent of the spilled oil. On Monday, officials announced that samples of tarballs that washed up about 130 miles south on Manhattan Beach shores matched sources from crude oil spilled out of Line 901, which also expands the financial implications for the spill. A man from the South Bay filed a claim with Plains All American Pipeline for about $2,100. — Kelsey Brugger

COunTY The Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to support a bill coauthored by State Senator HannahBeth Jackson, similar to a bill proposed last year, to ban offshore oil drilling in state waters along Tranquillon Ridge. SB 788 would eliminate a state exemption that allows drilling when state reserves are being drained by federal operations; T-Ridge is the only oil
field where this occurs. Though some public speakers defended the oil industry, others lobbied for more protection. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino called it “a little ironic” that Jackson and environmentalists not long ago advocated to allow an oil company to tap T-Ridge. The bill passed the Senate and now faces Assembly committees. A highly anticipated NASA mission to study ocean salinity, which blasted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in 2011, came to an end 6/8 when the spacecraft carrying NASA’s Aquarius instrument malfunctioned. But officials say the joint NASA and Argentinean Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales mission achieved its goals. Aquarius proved ocean salinity can be measured from space, and the satellite sent data useful to understanding ocean activity and change, El Niño, and how precipitation and evaporation processes affect salinity.

ON SHAKY GROUND: The fate of the historically significant but long-condemned Franceschi House, situated on 15 acres of city parkland, could be decided in six months’ time.

Will Franceschi House Be Saved or Bulldozed?
C
by k e i t h h a m m ommanding one of the finest views across Santa Barbara and far out to sea, the Franceschi House is the dilapidated centerpiece of city parkland high on the Riviera. For decades, conversation has gone back and forth between restoring the 5,800-square-foot historical building and razing it. That debate filled City Hall Tuesday afternoon, as Parks and Recreation Department staff recommended that councilmembers call off efforts to restore Franceschi and call in the wrecking ball. Easier said than done. For one, the demolition would be expensive—a precise number has yet to be calculated—and second, the city would have to grace the site with an all-new homage to Dr. Francesco Franceschi and his many contributions to Santa Barbara’s horticultural heritage. “Do you want to start us down that road—to look at what’s feasible?” Parks and Recreation Director Nancy Rapp asked the council. With a 6-1 vote, councilmembers said yes, and they also kept the Franceschi restoration dream alive, officially giving the Pearl Chase Society — which has headed up preservation efforts for the past 15 years—six more months to secure funds for a full-blown rehab of the elegantly vintage but semi-crumbling four-story residence. Arriving in Santa Barbara in 1893, Franceschi began establishing nurseries in the area, purchased the lot in 1903, and finished construction of the family home two years later. In 1927, his son sold the 15-acre property to philanthropist Alden Freeman, who donated it to the city as parkland in 1931. Over the years, the city has entertained numerous restoration projects for the house—condemned in 1963—and two formal recommendations to demolish it. In 1971, councilmembers green-lighted a Franceschi plan that, while emphasizing preservation of horticultural resources, recommended razing the house because it had “little architectural merit, and restoration independent.com
would probably be impractical.” Fast-forward to 1986, when a report, initiated by the Santa Barbara County Horticultural Society, called for a phased restoration that got nixed because of financial constraints before it even got off the ground. In the mid-1990s, the city’s newly assembled Franceschi Park Visioning Committee concluded that restoration wasn’t cost-effective and recommended demolition. Then, around 2001, the property’s grandest plan envisioned classrooms and a library downstairs, event space on the main level, upstairs residence for a horticultural college student or two, and a parkland docent program. The Pearl Chase Society, which specializes in the preservation of historic sites, took over the endeavor—with a city commitment of $300,000—to lovingly restore Franceschi and endow it with $250,000 for ongoing maintenance. By 2007, the society had secured more than half of the $2 million restoration price tag as the city dedicated $450,000 in state grant money to roadway, parking, and drainage improvements. But this upward trajectory took a few nearfatal hits. Estimates to stabilize the hillside homesite — a precursor to any buildingpermit issuance—and update access per the Americans with Disabilities Act breached $1 million. At the same time, the original maintenance endowment was deemed insufficient. Making matters worse, both the city and the society were feeling the squeeze of tough economic times. Now, with a deadline set for six months, the old house has received a reprieve of sorts. Its fate is now in the hands of the Pearl Chase Society. Meanwhile, Rapp and crew are tasked with figuring out how much it will cost the city to prep the site for improvement or get rid of Franceschi House altogether. “I don’t see the city being able to upgrade and maintain that house,” Mayor Helene Schneider said. “And people are … really wanting to save [it] because once it’s gone, it’s n gone.” June 25, 2015

The protest-borne shutdown of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project on the summit of Hawai‘i’s Mauna Kea volcano will come to an end Wednesday as the TMT International Observatory Board, chaired by UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang, commences construction on the 18-story telescope and observatory. Since groundbreaking last October, environmental and cultural groups — concerned about desecrations across sacred native land — have demonstrated against the $1.4 billion project, effectively halting construction more than once. In a statement, Yang said this latest work stoppage allowed his board time to reflect. “In an effort to be sensitive to … the native Hawaiian host culture,” he said, “we will deepen our knowledge of the cultural, ecological, and spiritual aspects of the mountain and … learn how to better respect and appreciate [it].”

Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) director Alice Gleghorn told the Board of Supervisors her department’s liabilities to the state have dropped from $9.5 million in late 2013 to $7.5 million as of last month, in part because settlements with the state were finalized after a lengthy appeals process.

Facing a contract expiration date on June 30, the Santa Barbara supervisors unanimously voted not to renew a roughly $10 million, two-year contract with Corizon Health Inc., a medical and mental-health provider at the County Jail and Probation Department that has provoked serious controversy in the county and across the nation. Corizon executive Harold Orr (center) The central issue for the supes was the scarcity of information about Corizon’s current contract and recent performance data. “I don’t know how we’re expected to approve a contract that we haven’t even seen,” Supervisor Doreen Farr told Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Laz Salinas, who presented to the board. Relations between the supervisors and the Sheriff’s Office have grown prickly in recent months over budget issues for the proposed North County Jail. Corizon recently came under fire in New York City, where officials decided this month to terminate their contract with the for-profit company at the end of the year after an investigation revealed employees might have contributed to the death of a mentally ill inmate. In the County Jail, about 10 Corizon employees work during peak hours (and a handful during late hours) to deliver services to inmates after they are booked. But the exact percentage of inmates who are screened in a timely manner and then receive treatment or pharmaceuticals remained unanswered on Tuesday. A number of people have complained to the supervisors that meds are not provided to inmates. Corizon exec Harold Orr said the only study his company completed was in Alameda County, where they found 98.2 percent of written orders were given to inmates in a timely manner. “I think it’s consistent through all of our contracts,” he said. Salinas later added that Sheriff personnel “meet monthly if not weekly to make sure Corizon is meeting our metrics.” But the supervisors weren’t sold and opted — with Corizon’s consent — to extend the existing contract for 120 days. Everyone will return to the board on August 25, when a detailed evaluation will be presented. — Kelsey Brugger

maintained better than some long-term rental properties nearby and that their guests — carefully screened, prepped, and warned to be on their best behavior—were better “neighbors” than some of the actual neighbors. Several warned the council that a ban would function only to chase the business underground, where oversight and accountability — not to mention tax revenues—would be beyond the grasp of regulators. Joining the choir of critics for the shortterm vacation industry were political and economic heavyweights Michael Towbes, Sarah Miller McCune, and Steve Amerikaner. If council liberals resonated most obviously
to concerns about Santa Barbara’s tenants, the conservatives were equally moved by arguments about wholesale zoning violations and neighborhood character. Councilmembers agreed that City Hall was partially responsible for encouraging an essentially illegal industry by accepting tax revenues from some in the business. Because of that, they argued, some amnesty period needed to be allowed for operators to either wind down their business ventures or try to get legal. How long that will be remains to be seen. City planners will return to the council with a menu of more specific actions. But in the meantime, the handwriting is on the wall. n

CRUDE AND RUDE: Timing isn’t everything, the late, great Vince Lombardi famously
never said. It’s the only thing. Someone might mention that to Tim Marquez, the beguiling CEO of the Venoco oil company, headquartered in Carpinteria. By all accounts, Marquez is irresistibly nice and smart and has what the professional spin doctors are fond of calling “a compelling narrative.” According to company lore, Marquez started Venoco back in 1992 in all but the proverbial log cabin, humbly maxing out his credit card for $3,000 to do so. Three years ago—after many convoluted corporate gyrations in between—Marquez took Venoco private, buying out major stockholders by borrowing nearly $1 billion. It didn’t help Venoco’s bottom line that oil prices worldwide tanked almost immediately, prompting the company to make significant layoffs and sell two of its major facilities elsewhere in the state. The oil patch — like old age—ain’t for sissies. All that’s preambulatory explication for Venoco’s big play this week. This Wednesday marked the first of what will be many environmental hearings for Venoco’s proposal to extend the reach of its oil drilling operations from Platform Holly —located a couple of miles off the coast of Isla Vista by Coal Oil Point —to about 5,000 feet beyond the boundary lines of its current lease. If this project — dubbed with strategic blandness a “Lease Line Adjustment”— is approved, Venoco will expand its proven reserves at
Coal Oil Point by 60 million barrels. That’s not chump change. If the State Lands Commission approves this deal, Venoco’s portfolio of proven reserves triples in size overnight. Venoco quietly initiated this process about a year ago. The first environmental meet-ngreet was initially scheduled for May 26. There was just one hitch. On May 19, the Plains All American Pipeline sprang a major leak at Refugio, and we’ve been perseverating about it ever since. In deference to the raw nerves, high dander, and resurgent anti-oil spirit thus unleashed, the first State Lands meeting was delayed a month until this Wednesday. It wasn’t nearly enough. Environmental activists showed up en masse—some dressed as oil derricks — for a combination open mike, political karaoke, and piñata pummeling at the Goleta Valley Community Center, with Venoco invited to play the role of piñata. It’s difficult to conjure a worse possible time for Venoco to seek approval for such plans. Hard, but not impossible, especially given Venoco’s recent history. In 2010, Venoco wanted to install 35 new onshore slant-drilling wells — not to mention a 175-foot drilling rig dressed up to look like a Spanish colonial tower — onshore just spitting distance from both City Hall and Carpinteria’s much-beloved seal haul-out and rookery. In a bold, creative, aggressively in-your-face move, Venoco sought to bypass Carpinteria’s sacrosanct planning process by taking its case — via Measure J —directly to
ing. All three expressed various cautionary quibbles, questions, criticisms, and qualifications but agreed that done correctly—assuming the right subsurface geological conditions — drilling in that area could reduce seep volumes because of the unique geometry of seep beds, oil reservoirs, and earthquake fault lines found near Platform Holly. Based on past experience, the greatest and most reliable reduction has been on the quantity of natural gases released. Less clear and predictable, however, has been the impact of such drilling on the proliferation of big gooey tar gobs. Giving new and serious urgency to this question is the heightened freak-out factor rightfully attending climate change and attendant weather weirdness. In case you missed it, more than 800 Pakistanis died this week as temperatures hit 113 degrees. According to the
city voters. The company asked voters to support massive changes to the city’s zoning and planning bible needed to make such an industrial project conform with the city’s general plan. Under the best of conditions, Venoco was pissing up a very steep rope on a windy day. But conditions were far from ideal. On April 20—in a galaxy not far enough away— a natural-gas explosion rocked BP’s now infamous Deepwater Horizon production facility in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 oil workers, injuring 17 more, and letting loose the worst maritime oil spill in U.S. history. With the BP explosion dominating news coverage, Measure J was toast, and on election night, 70 percent of Carpinteria’s civic-minded voters told Venoco to take a long hike off a short pier. When history repeats itself, I find it interesting. But what makes Venoco’s current proposal genuinely intriguing—rather than merely operatic—are company claims that by drilling 3,000 feet below the ocean floor into these adjacent reserves, it can reduce the subsurface pressure giving rise to one of the biggest natural seeps in the United States, if not the entire universe. These arguments, it should be noted, get trotted out about every eight years by oil-industry stooges and apologists with an embarrassing penchant for grossly overstating their case. But according to three UCSB geologists with whom I’ve recently communicated — albeit in limited fashion—this theory might actually apply by Platform Holly. The three—professors David Valentine, Bruce Luyendyk, and James Boles —have all studied the connection between Coal Oil Point seep volumes and oil drill-
Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, oil seeps in the channel release about
24,000 metric tons of methane gas every year, the equivalent, by the way, of 247,000 cows. Given that methane is 25 times more devastating a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, that’s 247,000 cows that might matter when it comes to climate change. Whether tripling Venoco’s drillable reserves is the best or only way to contain them, however, is a horse of another color. That argument has yet to play out. But when it does, it could prove genuinely interesting and disturbing. Regardless, where Venoco is concerned, history has a way of repeating itself. For those of us not paying attention the first time, that’s awfully convenient. For Tim Marquez, I’m not so sure. —Nick Welsh

Martha Jean Shore changed her family forever when she arrived at their home in rural Coats, Kansas, January 24, 1919. She joined her mother and father, Helen and Howard Shore, and four brothers: Howard Jr., Bill, David and Dick. A fifth brother, Paul, joined the tribe several years later. As the only girl among six siblings, she learned at an early age how to hold her ground and to work through or around obstacles. Following her father’s death when she was three, Martha and family moved to a log house near Cody, Wyoming, to homestead. One of her earliest claims to fame was taking second place in the county spelling bee as a third grader; another was learning to ride bareback, even if under duress. She was also very proud of playing for her high school basketball team. After graduating from Powell High School in Wyoming in 1936, Martha moved to Seattle where she attended business school with the goal of attending college and becoming a librarian. A blind date changed those plans. She met Percy Wallace Rairden, Jr., on that date, and the two were married several weeks later, shortly before he shipped out to the Pacific with the U.S. Navy. Martha and Wally had three children – Tony, Martha and Kathy – as the family moved from Seattle to China Lake, San Francisco, Corvallis, Honolulu, Charleston, S.C., Los Angeles, Monterey and in 1952 to Santa Barbara. Friends and family describe her as caring, clever, opinionated and funny. She was known for her sly humor, joy in being silly, determination, independence, and love of animals, especially her dogs Sam, Annie and Daisy. She loved babies, fireworks, kite festivals, honky-tonk piano, Christmas and the zoo. She delighted in school performances, recitals, local theatre and the piano performances at Heritage House as well as the weekly Happy Hours there. Martha had a knack for knowing exactly what young grandchildren would enjoy including flashlights, dress-ups from the thrift store and purses filled with mirrors, chap stick, tissues and other treasures. She regularly raided her son-in-law’s cast-off wardrobe to dress Charles, her driving buddy. Charles was, technically, a handsome mannequin, who rode in her passenger seat for safety, not the carpool lane. His preferred attire was seersucker blazer and a snappy tweed ascot hat. A community leader, Martha was active with Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, PTAs and Mended Hearts, which she served as president. She traveled quite a lot with her second husband, George Riel, seeing much of the state, country and some of Europe with him. An avid reader with an accomplished green thumb, Martha worked in the insurance industry and as a county administrative secretary. In retirement, she devoted many hours to Mended Hearts and to neighborhood activism. In her 80s she acted on two of her longtime goals – a ride in a hot air balloon and a flight in a glider, which she found exhilarating. Her son, Tony, and her four older brothers predeceased Martha. She is survived by her brother Paul, daughters Kathryn Rairden and Martha Lannan, grandchildren Leslie, Michael and Hillary Lannan and Lindsey Rairden and several nieces and nephews. In honor of Martha, contributions may be made to the local chapter of Mended Hearts c/o 14

Graham Ferrier Mackintosh 04/13/35 – 05/09/15
Graham Ferrier Mackintosh, fine printer and publisher. Born April 13, 1935 in Salt Lake City. He lived most of his life in San Francisco, and died May 9, 2015 in Santa Barbara. His father, who had emigrated from Scotland to Salt Lake City, soon moved the family to San Francisco, Jean Ferrier his wife, and two sons, Graham and Ron. He bought a house in the inner Sunset District. At the time, their house was the last in the development, and from their front door on 10th Avenue, sand dunes stretched to the ocean beach. This home was a touchstone for Graham his for life. He loved the house, and his history there. Graham and his brother were close and enjoyed being kids and teens in San Francisco, with fast cars and freedom. Graham loved going to the Tanforan and Golden Gate horse tracks with his father. He learned the knack of winning at the track from him. He summarized this skill as knowing more than the other fellow about the race variables. Graham attended Lowell High School. He loved learning, but saw class and race based bullying- which he despised. He developed a lifelong disdain for conscious and unconscious cruelty and pompousness. He was always an interesting person. He attended a high school dance with two of his friends. One was in full drag. The ruse was discovered, and prompted a marathon questioning session in the principal’s office. Graham told them that he had been fooled and unaware his friend was in fact not a girl. No matter how much he was pressured to admit that his story was preposterous, he stuck to it. He always would go to great lengths for his friends. Graham was in the Marines high school ROTC and slated to go to Korea upon graduation, but that conflict ended just as he graduated. Free of this obligation, he started to attend the California School of Fine Arts (now SFIA), where he met his first wife Kathy Knight, an artist. Just a few months later, he was drafted by the Army. He married Kathy and left for basic training. He was able to attend basic training with one of his best friends from high school, David Flattery. Kathy joined him in at his permanent post in Ft. Eustis in Williamsburg Virginia. Graham was able to find position of part time caretaker of a prerevolutionary historical house there; Providence Hall. Graham and Kathy had a daughter, Caitlin;

after Graham was discharged, he and Kathy returned to the bay area. Living first in a large flat in the Fillmore, they then moved more or less permanently across the bay in Piedmont. Graham enrolled in UC Berkeley and continued his involvement with the literary and poetry world of the Bay Area. Graham began printing and publishing in a small home shop in Piedmont. His wife, Kathy, and daughter Caitlin did the binding and stapling for the early books. He then moved to San Francisco to a shop off Jones on Steveloe Place in the Tenderloin, then moved to south of Market to a much bigger shop on Natoma St. There, Caitlin, Daniel and Julia Brooke played gleefully among paper palettes and type cases. They were privileged to play in the street at will. Graham enjoyed working the friends and meeting all the characters that revolved around the printed arts, but he especially loved the open door to the street life of San Francisco. In 1967 Graham and family moved to Los Angeles for a year while Graham worked for and learned from the fine printer Saul Marks. After, he moved to Santa Barbara to set up shop with Noel Young: First at Noel’s shop on Canon Perdido, then to State Street and the Fithian Building. Graham and Noel continued to work on projects - splitting their business eventually. Their shop was situated between the 100 year old Gutierrez Pharmacy with window full of giant glass bottles containing strange concoctions, and the old Azteca restaurant. The shop was a thriving business and social place. Lynn Stark, Jim Jimenez, Joe Babine, Sasha Newborn, Aaron Young Linda Benet, and Caitlin Mackintosh all worked with Graham in different times and ways. During this time, Graham and Kathy lived on Westside with their daughter Caitlin in a turn of the century bungalow. They entertained many poets and artists: James Liddy, Jim Chapson, an many other writers, as well as Gerry Haggerty and Linda Benet – both artists who lived across the street and became very close friends. He had many interests: languages, Chaucer, Busby Berkeley, Samuel Johnson, Sanskrit, automobile design, motorcycle-sidecar racing, alpha feedback, beer making, banjo and model airplanes are a few examples. Gerry said “We knew Graham well enough to realize that he was the embodiments of Dickens truism about the best times and the work of times [as alcohol took its toll] but at his zenith Graham was the wittiest man in the world.” Jim Chapson said: “I often thought Graham would have felt at home in the Scriblerus club –Swift, Pope, John Gray, and Robert Harley, the Earl of Oxford. Like them, he had a sharp eye for the absurdities of the age, and like them, a remarkable integrity.” He and Kathy experienced almost a decade with friends and rich happenings in Santa Barbara. In the late 70’s Kathy divorced Graham; as he had been overtaken by his unsupportable drinking. He then moved shop to the Andalucía building at State and 101, where he gradually came to terms with is divorce. He stopped drinking in 1982. After a few years of recovery he met Janet Thormann, whom he had known in the 1950’s, meeting in an English class taught by Alain Renoir at UC Berkeley. Graham married Janet in 1986. He then traveled back and forth between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. He did larger production jobs in doing Santa Barbara, where he spent time with his daughter, her spouse Ellen and his grandchildren Annelle and Tali. He eventually sold his large equipment and moved his Heidelberg Windmill letterpress and Vandercook proof press to Raoul’s Fine Fabric. There, his good friend and designer Sally McQuillan gave him space to work for many years. He resumed publishing the White Rabbit Press in San Francisco. He worked from the basement at 10th Avenue. He worked at the with his heavy Colt letterpress which chugged on reliably, while he the printer fought the steady disappearance of cast type and fonts from the world. Gabrielle said “The garage door at Tenth Avenue open to the street his tool bench visible. Graham made friends of the passing neighbors sharing comments and humors. Graham did
handyman jobs in the house, made wood furniture and did repair work on his care, motorcycle, framed pictures and enjoyed waxing Janet’s; 1982 Mazda rx7. He spent Sent Francisco early mornings chatting in local coffee shops on Irving or on Clement or at this favorite Chinese pastry shop on 9th Ave. Graham sober, was hard working level headed clear seeing patient affable while still ready with quick wit and speculative candor. He was happy with his wife and friend Janet. He continued his long term friendships.” He frequently saw his brother Ron whom he relied on and loved, and who supported Graham selflessly. Ron was there helping with the first shops and at the end with Grahams many health issues. Graham thought of Ron as a prince, the best brother anyone could ever have. Graham and Janet shared common interests, especially the loves of literature, poetry and history. They enjoyed life in the City and traveled extensively together, including New York, Scotland France, Israel and Italy. Graham supported her through a lengthy battle with cancer. At Janet’s death Graham told Gabrielle Thormann, who visited and chatted with him regularly as well as his brother Ron, that he and Janet were great buddies. After Janet died, Graham had some good times at a medical care center in San Francisco. He had a circle of smoking friends. A visiting friend at that time Dale Holt commented “I had so much fun with him when we were planning to fleece the other residents with a harmless game of poker, when was quite mischievous and was also getting very good at close up magic.” Graham was also a friend and caring stepfather to Gabrielle. Graham himself faced serious and debilitating health issues and through these years and was supporting by at different points by Ron, Gabrielle, Caitlin Ellen, Annelle and Tali. Graham then moved to Santa Barbara for additional care. His granddaughters often entertained him with Mr. Toad wild wheelchair rides (which he often initiated) and they learned pool from him the hard way, by scathing criticism of their barely acquired new skill, they also had great ice cream parties, ad hoc parties and different excursions, and of course always: trips to smoke on the roof. Graham made friends even in the midst of loss which weighed on him. He was always complicated but incredibly interesting, amazingly strong and settled in his own thinking. His daughter Caitlin visited often especially after work, and tried to keep his life interesting and pleasant and fun while keeping discomfort and shades at bay. During these visits he talked to me about the people he had known in his life. He marveled at the idea that he had known them, and asked me how it was possible that he had such wonderful luck in his life to have met them. Graham is survived by many friends and family. Caitlin Mackintosh, Ron and Vicki Mackintosh, Gabrielle Thormann, Ellen Ratcliffe, Annelle and Tali Mackintosh-Ratcliffe. Sally McQuillan, Lynn Rollins, Joe Babine Linda Benet, Lynn Stark, Harry and Sandra Reese, Alistair Johnson and many more. All will miss him and his unique way of seeing life, his love, his unexpected revelations which were his gifts to his circle and his time
California. She was 88. She died at the same age as her late husband, Norbert Schiller Sr., but a quarter of a century later. Mary was born in San Rafael, California, to Minnie Stangeland (formally Minnie Peterson) originally from Taopi, Minnesota, and John Stangeland, an immigrant from Stavanger, Norway. In her youth, Mary was an avid dancer and performed in a professional dance troupe. Besides dance, she loved to ride horseback and rode all over Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Mary held various jobs in her 20s, which included modeling and working at the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco. Later in life, she worked for the artist Judith Sutcliffe making mosaic tiles, many of them botanical paintings sold in the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden gift shop. After an early marriage and divorce, which produced her eldest son, David, Mary moved to Ojai, California, where she met Austrian-born stage and film actor Norbert Schiller. They married on June 14, 1956, in Los Angeles California. Mary and Norbert lived in a stone tower that Norbert built on the east end of Ojai, that reminded him of Europe. Later they moved to Santa Barbara. She discovered the teaching of Rudolf Steiner and became an active member of the Anthroposophical Society. Besides her spiritual side, Mary was very down-to-earth and loved taking long walks, spending time with loved ones, cooking, and reading. She loved all animals, especially cats, particularly Abyssinians. Her early embrace of organic and vegetarian principles put her ahead of her time, and she excelled at cooking, sewing, and all domestic arts. Keeping a beautifully immaculate home and providing healthy, delicious meals was something she enjoyed and made look easy, and yet she was as far as possible from a traditional woman of her time in other ways. She traveled extensively throughout the world, visiting her son Norbert wherever he was posted as a journalist in the Middle East and Africa. After her husband passed away in 1988, she took her daughter, Daniela, on a trip around the world. Her beauty and simplicity will be remembered by all who knew her. Survivors include her sons David Raphael (formerly David Gibson) and Norbert Schiller Jr, stepdaughter Claudia Schiller, and daughter Daniela (Schiller) Johnson, as well as four grandchildren: Skyler Johnson, Alexandra Schiller, Jordan Johnson, and Tamer Schiller. Mary had one brother, Roy Stangeland, who passed away in 2011, and is survived as well by niece Hazel Gober and Hazel’s two children, Daniel and Christina. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held on Saturday, September 5, 2015, at 801 Cold Spring Road at 4:00 p.m.

outh Carolina—when are people in this country going to wise up and see that we need to restrict guns? It is so very simple. Only allow stores to sell guns, and if a customer wants to buy one, they have to get a background check. I have had many background checks, my first to work in a bank, second to work with preschool children, and then to volunteer. None of these are as dangerous as owning a gun. Also, People, read the 2nd Amendment. It does not say the right for anyone to carry guns; the right is for the army to carry guns, and it was written back when America was much more dangerous. Now it is dangerous here because too many people carry guns. I was born in the U.K. It is very hard to purchase a gun there, and even police do not carry them daily. We — Sue Smiley, Goleta need to change the law.

hy do shootings of black people only get media coverage when a white person is the shooter? Case in point: Chicago. On Chicago’s bloodiest weekend last year, 82 blacks were shot and 16 killed. The shooters were black. Where was the nonstop coverage? All black lives should matter. The recent shootings at a church were a tragedy; however, the death toll in Chicago is ongoing. Why is there selective coverage and outrage by the media? The answer: politics and promoting the liberal agenda (gun control and racism). — Don Thorn, Carpinteria

tion issues. With the Association of American Medical Colleges predicting a nationwide shortage of 90,000 physicians by 2025, these problems will not go away anytime soon. Fortunately, health care is closer than it appears. Nearly all Americans—95 percent—live within five miles of a community pharmacy. As a pharmacist, and the owner of Hometown Pharmacy in Santa Maria, I believe it makes sense to utilize pharmacists to alleviate some of the pressure created by physician shortages. We are ready to help seniors with services such as immunizations, health screenings and tests, and chronic disease management. Right now, Medicare Part B does not recognize pharmacists as health-care providers. That is why a bipartisan group in Congress is working to give pharmacists provider status, which would allow us to be reimbursed for the care we provide Medicare beneficiaries in underserved areas. We ask Congressmember Lois Capps to support S 314 and HR 592, the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act, a sensible, cost-effective plan to ensure that our seniors have access to the care they need no matter where they live.

NO PULITZER: You’ve got to hand it to the
Texans running Plains All American Pipeline. They not only besmirched our beaches but seem to be doing their best to sneakily manipulate the resulting news coverage. If Plains were a newspaper, it would never win a Pulitzer by trying to put a positive spin on an ecological mess. Big Oil meets Big Brother meets Brave New World. In a secret memo leaked to The Santa Barbara Independent, Plains, along with representatives of the U.S. EPA, Coast Guard, California Fish & Wildlife, and Santa Barbara County’s Office of Emergency Management signed off approving the targeting of six journalists and invited them to a private press conference in apparent hopes of generating positive coverage of the May 19 Refugio Oil Spill. As soon as a critical commentary on the sub rosa scheme written by The Independent’s Kelsey Brugger hit our website last week, county tempers raged. Janet Wolf, 2nd District Supervisor, called me to report that the county had pulled out of the United Command’s Joint Information Center and called for the county to divorce itself of the tainted United Command group that’s in charge of the spill cleanup. Both Wolf and 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr told me that they felt it wrong for Plains, as perpetrator, to be part of the United Command’s decision-making and information dissemination.
“My confidence is not enhanced” when you have Plains “embedded” in the United Command structure, Wolf said. She found the secret selection scheme “horrible” and “degrading to reporters.” Wolf also said she found it “very disturbing” that a retired county fire official signed the memo while filling in with the Office of Emergency Management. Representatives of Plains and the other public agencies all signed their names approving the dubious scheme, but who actually wrote the memo remains a mystery. Whose idea was it to evaluate various journalists, select the six, produce one-page bios and photos of each, and recommend them? Someone went to a lot of trouble to do all this. But so far, no one is claiming authorship. When I asked Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow of the Coast Guard, PIO out at the United Command’s Joint Information Center (JIC), he said it was “a combined effort,” developed by various members of the JIC. In other words, it’s a whorehouse bastard where many had a hand in the conception but all shrink back from signing the birth certificate. In my experience, signed governmental memos do not write themselves. Wadlow may not know exactly who spawned the child. But there it sits, crapping all over the place. He didn’t sign the memo, but the question remains: Where does Plains, the EPA, Coast Guard, state Fish & Wildlife, and the county rep get

off putting their stamp of approval on this transparent effort to target journalists for a controlled, invitation-only press conference and whatever else they have in mind? When I asked, Wadlow said the six were selected based on who had requested the most information about the spill. Really? Sorry, Kip, CLUB ZED: The JIC decided to be less than politic and handpick but I do not buy this. their newspeople. “Our goal is to be as transparent as possible,” Wadlow said. If so, why have a private press Plains, always sitting at the table as though they session with a limited few, carefully vetted are a partner with the county, state, and fedjournalists?

The Dude Provides Jeff Bridges Gets into Food, Ending Childhood Hunger
J
by Nick
eff Bridges isn’t squeamish about the bizarre. In fact, he
embraces it, though in a decidedly low-key, under-thetop way. The famously cool — yet down-to-earth — Hollywood actor, garage bandleader, and longtime Montecito resident managed to outdo himself in the world of weird this February. That’s when he starred in a Super Bowl TV ad for an ambient sound-sleep album called Sleeping Tapes. In it, he hovers over the bed of a sleeping couple, making a highpitched tone by running a stick slowly around the rim of a mediation bowl. Bridges is no stranger to TV ad campaigns, having functioned as the voice of Hyundai for several years, but his Super Bowl Ad has become a cult classic. Months later, Bridges is still chuckling.“Wow! ‘Tapes!’ Such an archaic word,” he mused. The drone-heavy sonic-wallpaper tape Bridges was peddling is a far cry from the reverb-infused twang favored by his band The Abiders. Not everyone liked it. Some even complained it exacerbated their insomnia. But sleep was never really the point. As Bridges explained in a recent interview, the idea was first “to show there’s no idea too bizarre that you can’t build a website for it.” But the real point, Bridges stressed, was to find a way to raise both money and awareness about childhood hunger. Bridges, it turns out, has been involved in various anti-hunger efforts for the past 35 years, and his sleep tape, it appears, helped move the needle on both fronts. According to Billboard Magazine, the tape ranked second in New Age sales for several months running though, in fact, it’s free to download. Those opting to donate to No Kid Hungry, the national organization for which Bridges has served as chief spokesperson and pitch-meister the past five years, receive a couple of bonus tracks for their generosity. And in agreeing to appear in the ad, Bridges insisted half the donations for No Kid Hungry be funneled to Santa Barbara County to combat what’s known in the lingo as “food insecurity.”

And when contemplating the bizarre, what could be weirder than hunger in so famously a wealthy community as Santa Barbara? But Bridges understands that Santa Barbara is home to the very poor as well as the very rich. And he also understands Santa Barbara is home to a Milky Way of nonprofit organizations just itching to do some good. With so many nonprofits, he reckoned, there had to be a solution to the problem. At least locally. This summer, Bridges has lent his obvious star power to helping solve a pressing problem on the South Coast. A majority of Santa Barbara children who receive free or reducedpriced meals during the school year are not accessing food programs available to them in the summertime. On paper, the numbers are sobering. Countywide, approximately 30,000 students obtain free or reduced-priced meals through their schools. (That number would be 30 percent higher, according to California Food Policy Advocates, if everyone who qualified actually signed up.) In summer months, however, those numbers plummet to 4,100 — that
No Kid Hungry
means 85 percent of families must find enough food for their children elsewhere. That’s worse than the statewide gap of 82 percent. Bridges is shooting to bump up the summertime number of kids who get fed to 12,000. That would reduce the gap to 60 percent. “My goal is to make Santa Barbara County the first No Kid Hungry county in the state,” Bridges said. To that end, he’s teamed up with Laura Burton Capps —daughter of Congressmember Lois Capps —a freelance consultant and organizer affiliated with No Kid Hungry’s parent organization, Share Our Strength. Not only are they bringing their star power to illuminate the issue, but they are also working with a variety of organizations that have long addressed the problems of hunger in the community: Chief among them are the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, the Community Action Commission, and the Santa Barbara Unified School District. Three years ago, Bridges and Capps began collaborating with City of Santa Barbara neighborhood coordinator Mark Alvarado to launch a summer musical concert that would introduce the South Coast’s meals program. This May, they did it again, at Bohnett Park by the Westside Boys & Girls Club, where the gravitational impact of Bridges’s celebrity was very much in evidence. There were lots of kids having a great time, but it was also a definite political see-and-be-seen event. Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider and County Supervisor Salud Carbajal—now locked together in a down-and-dirty contest for the congressional seat presently occupied by Lois Capps—took to the stage, cheerleader style, exhorting the crowd of young kids happily and obliviously munching their hot dogs. Capps herself was there —recently off an ACL surgery—moving about gingerly with a crutch.
SHINING A LIGHT: (from left) P!nk, Jeff Bridges, and Laura Burton Capps aren’t providing any additional food; they’re exploiting their celebrity wattage to generate attention and their organizational smarts to focus limited resources to hungry kids.
In a ll Nutshe
Despite numerous claims to the contrary, there is, in fact, such a thing as a free lunch. There are also free breakfasts and a few free dinners. To address the issue of summer hunger in Santa Barbara County, No Kid Hungry is attempting to provide such free meals to as many “food insecure” minors as possible. No paperwork is necessary, and no forms need be filled out or intrusive questions answered. If you’re younger than 18 and hungry, just show up at one of 40 sites throughout the county. The sites have to qualify, not the guests. Sites are selected based on the percentage of minors receiving free or reduced meals during the school year. Seven different organizations that have long fed the hungry are collaborating with No Kid Hungry to make this happen. All provide a myriad of other programs at other sites, but all No Kid Hungry sites operate on a no-questions-asked basis for anyone under 18. Some sites will sell meals to those older than 18; others won’t. The Santa Barbara Unified School District — in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department — maintains nine sites, the Foodbank 12, the Community Action Commission eight, the Carpinteria Unified School District two, the Eastside Boys & Girls Club one, the Lompoc Unified School District seven, and the Guadalupe Union School District one.

The number of white people in attendance was by far the most Bohnett Park had experienced in the past 30 years. A series of up-andcoming groups — all teenaged girls — took to the stage, courtesy of Girls Rock Santa Barbara. Notes for Notes, which runs a musical program for teens at the Westside Boys & Girls Club, introduced the crowd to more stage-savvy bands, including Rico & Nico. But it was a 9-yearold named Sophia Guerra who upstaged everyone, belting out songs with an astonishingly big voice reminiscent of Janis Joplin minus the sandpaper. Bridges’s speech was short and sweet: There would be 40 meal distribution sites throughout the county this summer, up from 33 the previous year. “There are no papers to sign, no forms to fill out,” he said. “If you’re hungry and under 18 years of age, you just show up and get a meal.” He then introduced P!nk, the alt-pop celebrity, who’d recently moved to Santa Barbara and is now also involved with No Kid Hungry.

Bridges always takes pains to stress he’s only helping out; the real heavy lifting, he’s quick and careful to note, is done by the Foodbank, the Santa Barbara school district, and the Community Action Commission. No Kid Hungry merely shines a light on their efforts. It also helps better coordinate who’s doing what, where, and when. Representatives from groups who have long histories of serving the hungry now sit down on a regular basis to plot logistics. This in itself is an improvement. At one point, for example, the Foodbank proposed opening a meal distribution site at the Ladera Apartments on the Lower Westside. But it turned out that the school district was already serving meals at McKinley Elementary School, just a quarter mile away. It’s a little thing. But little things matter. On a good day, getting nonprofits to cooperate is akin to herding cats. Especially among those with similar objectives, competitive tensions must be carefully navigated. The days of the hair-netted cafeteria ladies ladling out peach halves from syrup cans may be long gone, but differing food agendas among the nonprofit groups definitely exist: fresh and locally grown, for example, versus pre-prepared and warmed up. And all the participating organizations operate under serious financial pressures that mandate they fly their flags loud and proud. In the context of economic survival, subverting individual organizational identity to a new group endeavor doesn’t come easily. Much of this gets hashed out at the group meetings. At times, the hashing gets uncomfortable. But it gets done.“This has forced us to work together,” said Fran Forman of the Community Action Commission.“That’s been positive. We now coordinate more, and we speak with a more unified voice.” Very coincidentally, Bridges got his first introduction to anti-hunger activism around the same time he got his first serious taste of Santa Barbara. In the late ’70s, he attended a world hunger symposium and came away convinced that the problem was political in origin, not technological. “Politicians are supposed to represent our individual will, so I had to ponder what I was going to do about it individually,” he recalled. One option was “to walk away and do nothing.” Another was “to pay $10 to scratch my guilt itch.” Ultimately, Bridges used his star power to start an organization called End Hunger Network, which, among other things, produced a 1996 film on hunger and poverty called Hidden in America. He had spent significant time in Santa Barbara while shooting perhaps the grimiest film ever set in this little paradise, Cutter’s Way. In it, Bridges played a B-minus gigolo who tries to blackmail the Fiesta Parade’s El Presidente after discovering he’d murdered a young woman and left her body in a downtown dumpster. But Bridges was staying at El Encanto in its earlier incarnation of affordable shabby-chic and formed a good impression of the town. Then several years later, when the Northridge Earthquake happened, the Bridges family decided to leave Los Angeles and move to Santa Barbara. Since arriving, Bridges has consistently — but quietly—volunteered to work with a number of organizations helping those down on their luck. The problem of hunger in Santa Barbara, of course, is much broader than just hungry kids. Poverty, Bridges noted, is a “very complicated subject.” People are more “comfortable,” he said, talking about feeding kids. Or, as Erik Talkin of the Foodbank put it, “People tend to freak out when you start talking about ‘systemic poverty.’ Food is a good way to start talking about those other issues.” Demand for Foodbank services rose 36 percent during the recession and has not gone back down. Of the 110,000 people who indirectly rely on the Foodbank — one out of every four county residents — 65 percent live in households with at least one
CovEr story intent on preaching the gospel of “food literacy” interspersed with lots of activities. Food literacy is all about teaching people how to shop and prepare their meals in a healthy and economic way. By itself, Talkin said, it won’t redress the economic inequalities that make services like the Foodbank so urgently needed.“But it starts with the food,” he said.“It’s a good way of leveraging change.” Adults older than 18 are not served as part of the Foodbank’s summer program. Within all three organizations, there’s a wide range of opinions as to how big the unmet need really is, MOTORIZED EATS: Six food trucks operated by the Santa Barbara Unified School District hit specified sites six days a week, offering organic, homegrown meals — free of but everyone agrees that the probcharge — to anyone under 18, no questions asked and no paperwork required. lem is much worse in North County. Unfortunately, as yet, the Santa member working, he said. “A very large number of Maria-Bonita School District has not jumped in to people who work cannot support themselves on what fill the breach. No Kid Hungry is now entering into the second they earn, no matter how hard they work.” What difference No Kid Hungry’s efforts have made week of this summer’s program.

(See “Text-A-Free-Meal” below.) Each of the 40 sites offers free food, but not all sites offer the same program. The school district, for instance, runs nine sites — six of which are operating out of mobile café food trucks. For those younger than 18, the school district meals are free; for those over 18, it’s $4 a plate, making it easily the best deal in town. Most of the food is locally grown and organic.

With seven nonprofit organizations involved and 40 free-meal food sites located throughout the entire county, Laura Burton Capps wanted to make it as easy as possible for families looking for free food under the Summer Food program. “You don’t want people having to call seven different organizations to figure out where to go,” said Capps. “If you have to get your driver’s license renewed, you know where to go. If you have to go the hospital, the same thing. That’s what we’re trying to do here.” To that end, Capps and No Kid Hungry have launched a texting service to make finding a food site as simple as possible. Text “SUMMERFOOD” to 877-877. You should then get a prompt asking for your address. Text in where you are at that moment. It will then provide the location of the three nearest sites. ~

ne step inside Fox & Goss Antiques is a trip down memory lane. The little shop on upper De la Vina Street houses a charming assortment of vintage ornaments, art, furniture, and tableware, making your search for that perfect collectible much easier.
“This neighborhood needed something like this,” Fox said.“We want to be a place where people can nip into the store without having to go far like downtown and pick out something that nobody else has.” There’s even a “man cave,” with shot glasses and pet-dog figurines, and customers can request items, as well. “If someone says we need some chairs or some end tables, we write that down with their name, phone number and look for those things,” said Fox. “That’s personal service.” The owners have been collecting and restoring for years but didn’t take the leap into starting their “upscale thrift store” until November when the right spot opened. They signed the lease two days after it was posted and immediately began moving their personal collections inside. “It’s been a complete whirlwind since then,” Goss said. NEW FACE FOR OLDER STUFF: The Fox & Goss team of (from left) With prices ranging from Lauren Goss, Tina Anderson, and Ashley Fox sell curated antiques on De la Vina Street. $3-$300, this little business started by stay-at-home moms Co-owners Ashley Fox and Lauren Goss, along prides itself in giving customers more bang for with partner Tina Anderson, make sure to house their buck. “So often if you go to IKEA or some more than just cute stuff.

A Star Wars Solstice
is making it easier to play fantasy football free of charge and still win big with the click of a button. RotoLimbo, founded by Tommy Lutz Jr., Sam Dolan, and Mark Magid, is a pick-’em game where users pick the over-under on a fantasy player’s scoring projection and win points for each correct selection. Users with the most points earn cash prizes. Unlike other popular fantasy sports sites like DraftKings and FanDuel that charge to play, RotoLimbo runs on a “freemium” business model. The site is funded by ads and in-app “coin” purchases used as credit to unlock more ways of gaining points or moving lines of players to up the chances of picking right. “I knew that the fantasy sports industry was going kind of crazy. I THE APP FRONT LINE: Santa Barbara sports wanted to see if I fans (from left) Mark Magid, Tommy Lutz Jr., could turn it into a and Sam Dolan invented an app to make fanfree-to-play game,” tasy football less time-consuming to play. Lutz said. “It’s kind of evolved into a free pick-’em game where I’m now going to try to sell users to other sites.” Fantasy players provided in the game are based on the top 60 highest projected players for that week. The formula is intended to eliminate the headache of researching numbers on the obscure third-string running back, a common turn-off for casual users and beginners playing in more traditional fantasy sports leagues. “I was trying to make the gameplay simple, where you don’t have to know who Marquess Wilson on the Chicago Bears is to win,” Lutz said. “The gameplay is easy. When you think about it, it’s a 50-50.” RotoLimbo is set up so users win prizes through weekly and seasonlong campaign modes with the same over-under formula used. Weekly users pick from a maximum of 60 players with points won going toward a weekly and season-total leaderboard. For season-long campaign modes, users earn points by completing challenges in eight different levels that act as an NFL division. Levels unlock over the course of the season, but users can access levels sooner by sharing the game on Facebook or by using coins. “One of the advantages of opening levels early with coins or sharing is each week you have every chance to get those picks right,” Lutz said. “You give yourself 12 weeks rather than eight weeks to get the picks right.” Lutz plans to release the game in late July or early August to coincide with the start of the NFL season. The goal right now is to give away $2,000 per week and $25,000 at season’s end, but that estimated prize money will only increase with more prelaunch signups. More signups equals more prize money. “It’s a good introduction to fantasy,” Dolan said.“It’s not hard to play, it’s fun, and you win free stuff. There’s no point not to play.” See rotolimbo.com — MS independent.com

n the first Saturday of June, nearly
60 women of all ages came together for the second annual Occupy Beauty event at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where they embarked on a day of community, playful exploration, and yoga. (See independent.com/living for a report.) The event was designed by Melanie Elkin, founder of Yoga’licious (melanieelkin .com), who helps women discover their own unique beauty by giving them the tools to practice selflove in a world that often encourages the opposite. “Occupy Beauty is a model for the way women can come together and be in such sweet and delicious support of each other,” explained Elkin, who offered these thoughts during and after the event. What beauty means to her: Beauty to me is a feeling, and living from my essential self and expressing her to the world and to myself. It’s also lovability and knowing that all parts of me are lovable. What to change about culture’s perception of beauty: Less focus on beauty being only one

Foresters Find Spunk in
Hitting Coach Dmitri Young
Former Major Leaguer Now Serving as ‘Hype Man’ for Santa Barbara’s Semipro Baseballers
A
s each starting player for the Santa Barbara
Foresters was introduced by the public-address announcer, Dmitri Young voiced his approval in the Foresters’ dugout.
“Yay!” “Yee-haw!” “Oooh-yeah!” “Hey-yah!” Young then leaped to his feet and slapped hands with every Forester player and coach along the bench and the dugout railing.“Ass-whuppin’ … Ass-whuppin’” he repeated over and over. “I’m the hype man,” Young said when he settled back down to watch the first pitch. “That’s what I was when I played. We get to play ball. What could be more fun than that?” In his first year as the Foresters’ hitting coach, Young brings an animated energy that makes longtime manager Bill Pintard seem subdued. He also brings a wealth of experience. “I didn’t have a cup of coffee in the major leagues,” he said. “I had a career.” Young played in 13 major-league seasons with the Cardinals, Reds, Tigers, and Nationals. He was a two-time All-Star (2003 and 2007). Among his memories are the three home runs he swatted on opening day in 2005 and the two-homerun, two-triple game he had in 2003. He also had a single in that game and would have hit for the cycle if he’d shortened the second triple to a double. “It was the ninth inning, we were tied, and I took third,” he said.“The last thing you want to do is dog it.” Young was one of the heaviest players in major-league history (nicknamed “Da Meathook”), sometimes topping 300 pounds. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2006, he seriously addressed the condition in recent years and has shed 100 pounds through diet, exercise, and sobriety. “I’m living Part Two of my life now,” he said. “But I have no shame, no regrets about the past. It’s called living.” Pintard tagged Young to replace his great friend and longtime hitting coach Gary Woods, who died in February. “Bill Pintard sold me on the Foresters,” said Young, who lives in Camarillo. “We have quality college kids. There’s no egos here. I don’t walk around like, ‘Hey, I’m Mr. Baseball.’” He said that much of his coaching concerns “how to prepare yourself mentally.” Maintaining a playful attitude is a big part of Young’s approach to the game. “Dmitri is the funniest guy in the world,” pitcher Troy Cruz said.“He’s not afraid to say what’s on his mind. He’s always jumping around.”
Paul wellman Photos
by John Zant MAJOR-LEAGUE EXCITEMENT: The Santa Barbara Foresters are already one of the best semipro teams in baseball, but now former major leaguer Dmitri Young (top right) is bringing more energy and experience to the dugout. That will only boost the play of pitchers Elliot Surrey (top left) and Troy Cruz (below) and their teammates.
Cruz is one of six players returning from last year’s Foresters, who brought the club’s fifth National Baseball Congress (NBC) championship trophy to Santa Barbara. Cruz pitched the last 2⅔ innings of the final game in Wichita, a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Studs in 12 innings. “It was the highlight of my baseball career for sure,” said the righthander from UC San Diego.“I was at the bottom of the dog pile after the last out. I was so amped up. I couldn’t see anything, feel anything, smell anything. It was pure joy.” On the mound, Cruz might be called “The Small Unit.” He’s listed generously at 58 and 160 pounds. He has the quality that Pintard values most: “a big heart.” The Foresters will return to Wichita in August to defend their NBC title. “I’m looking forward to the bus ride and 10 days in the hotel,” Cruz said. “There are a lot of stories to be told.” This season is shaping up rather nicely for the hometowners. After sweeping the South Bay Saints last weekend, the Foresters had a 14-2 record. In their 9-3 victory on Saturday, a pair of sluggers from Tulane University — catcher Jeremy Montalbano and pinch hitter Lex Kaplan — made sweet, sharp sounds with their wooden bats as they drove balls over the outfield fence at UCSB’s Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. Before Sunday’s game, which they won 8-0, the Foresters retired Gary Woods’s number 41.

quaff a brew at the Dutch Garden. I would have liked to watch the Dodgers-Giants game, but there is no TV in the restaurant — which makes it an ideal place to hang out when the Dodgers are playing a game that you couldn’t see anyway. DRAFT INFLATION: Dmitri Young was the fourth overall pick out of Rio Mesa High in the 1991 major-league draft. He received a signing bonus of $385,000. His brother Delmon Young, 12 years his junior, was the No. 1 pick out of Camarillo High in 2003 and signed with Tampa Bay for $3.7 million. Delmon now plays for the Baltimore Orioles. UCSB’s junior pitcher Dillon Tate was the fourth player chosen in this year’s draft. He received a signing bonus of $4.2 million — reportedly below market value — from the Texas Rangers. Tate has been assigned to begin his professional career with the short-season Spokane Indians. The Gauchos had nine other players named in the draft, including junior pitcher Justin Jacome, who went in the fifth round (146th overall) to the Florida Marlins.

hat journey to the ends of the Earth seeking enlightenment you had planned won’t be necessary — profound answers to your deepest questions about the multiple meanings of life are soon to be available at Campbell Hall, the Granada Theatre, the Music Academy of the West’s Hahn Hall, and the Arlington Theatre. Through the 12 series subscription plans available for its recently announced 201516 season, UCSB Arts & Lectures brings an entire year’s worth of fantastic events well within reach. Although the five-concert Marquee series, which includes the Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma at the Granada on Sunday, February 21, or Monday, February 22, 2016, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear Renee Fleming sing in a space as intimate as Campbell Hall just a week later, on Sunday, February 28, tops the list, the cost for one subscription to all five events is still comparable to the check for one dinner for two at many of our city’s fine-dining establishments. The season kicks off with a party, as New Orleans phenomenon Trombone Shorty makes the transition from Campbell Hall, where he has appeared in the past, to the Granada on Friday, September 18. If you have ever wondered what the Granada would be like if it were in the French Quarter on Mardi Gras, here’s a way to find out. Watch out for false fire alarms, because it is going to get hot in thurr. A&L’s musical offerings are richer and more varied than ever this year, with seven different subscription series all devoted to sound.

Up Close & Musical is the title for A&L’s series of concerts at the Music Academy’s Hahn Hall.

Na e Ruess grand romantic NaT The “Fun.” might be over, but the aftermath comes in the form of former Fun. lead singer Nate Ruess’s first solo album, Grand Romantic Romantic, which features his distinct — bordering on theatrical — vocals and his new supporting group, the Romantics. The musical influences from previous bands Fun. and the Format are evident in Grand Romantic. For example, “AhHa” incorporates faint but detectable traces from Fun.’s “Some Nights,” and the words “It’s for the best we keep our distance” can be heard. Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions to assume that the lyric alludes to the band’s hiatus, but regardless, “AhHa” is a memorable homage to the Fun. days as well as a toast to new musical beginnings.
“Nothing Without Love” and “Great Big Storm” make good use of choir vocals, and comparing Ruess to Queen’s Freddie Mercury remains as valid as ever. “Take It Back” strays from indie-pop and delves into a ’50s doo-wop as Ruess croons for his beloved to “Just take it back / Take it back / What we had.” “You Light My Fire” is a more forgiving (and upbeat) tune that keeps to the doo-wop style. Ruess’s duet with Beck, “What This World Is Coming To,” explores regret, nostalgia, and our significance on a cosmic level; listeners may be reminded of Ruess’s existential lyricism from Fun.’s “Carry On.” Grand Romantic is a thoughtful, musical manifestation of a love story Ruess has been carrying
with him throughout the conception and writing process of his solo project. While taking a professional musical leap can often be precarious business, Ruess’s debut seems to indicate that the leap will be well worth it. — Caitlin Trude

Is There a dry
drunk In your lIfe? To truly forgive someone means breaking the mindforged manacles of emotion and accepting life on life’s terms, rather than one’s own. For Carole Bennett, a substance abuse counselor at familyrecovery solutions.com and the author of Reclaim Your Life, a book written to help people who are living with an alcoholic and/or addict, this step toward greater selfawareness and away from the blaming of others is an essential one not only for recovering alcoholics but also for their partners. Whether we are talking about a husband and wife or a parent and child, it takes two to untangle. And that’s what Bennett’s excellent and insightful secsec ond book is about. Is There a Dry Drunk in Your Life? picks up where Reclaim Your Life left off, with the newly sober partner adjusting to life without drinking, and the significant other frequently left to continue the battle to reclaim his or her life. Through a combination of sharp, well-organized exposition, including lists like “9 dispositions of the dry drunk,” helpful processing questionnaires, and many case histories derived from her clinical practice, Bennett has delivered something like a comprehensive manual for the afflicted. While the sections on establishing boundaries and writing a recovery contract necessarily revisit ideas from Reclaim Your Life, those concepts resonate differently in this context and remain relevant and necessary for understanding the big picture. What’s new in Dry Drunk is the more complex and nuanced portrait it draws of the audience for whom the book was written — the rescuers/enablers who may justly take pride in having steered a loved one toward sobriety but who are still a long way from their own goals of personal fulfillment. Every day, many people face a profoundly painful decision; having stuck with someone who has battled alcoholism or addiction through the worst of it, they must then make up their minds about whether it is best for them to stay or to go. This book offers plenty of sound advice and ample opportunity for reflection to those feeling trapped by this dilemma without tilting the argument toward one side or the other. “Is it time to throw in the towel?” is the kind of question that will drive you crazy if you let it. Bennett breaks it down into logical steps so that you can answer it with confidence before it eats you alive. And that’s something to cheer about. — CD

HIS NAME IS LANCELOT: Royals theater alumni present the musical comedy Spamalot on June 26-27. The event serves as reunions for nostalgic former students and also raises funds for San Marcos’s Performing Arts Department.
T
he success of performing arts education programs, especially those in public high schools, should not necessarily be judged by the number of theater professionals they put into the community but rather by the enthusiasm for the craft that they engender in their students. Within that framework, the San Marcos High School Performing Arts Department is certainly effective: SMHS produces two main-stage shows a year, and alumni have formed the SMHS Alumni Foundation Theater Group (AFTG) to produce annual fundraising shows. David Holmes, who taught in the SMHS Performing Arts Department for many years, has achieved a somewhat legendary status among devoted SMHS graduates; last year, Holmes retired amid fanfare, with students from as far back as the 1970s united to produce The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a play Holmes hadn’t been able to mount during his years in the department due to the show’s inappropriateness for a high school cast. The production was wildly successful. This year, the AFTG, headed by foundation chair Kelli Martony-Doering, will mount the musical comedy Spamalot. Based on the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot features book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by Idle and John du Prez. Nominated for 14 Tony awards (including best new musical) in 2005, Spamalot has been a popular comedic show for the past decade. This impish spoof of the Arthurian legend features Brian Wankum (class of ’87) as King Arthur, Jamie Chamberlin (’96) as the Lady of the Lake, Kurt Robbins (’95) as Sir Galahad, Natalie Padrick Rodrigue (’93) as Patsy, Matt Doohan (’11) as Sir Lancelot, Sean Jackson (’01) as Not Dead Fred, Willy Voigt (’92) as The Voice of God, and Holmes as Sir

Not Appearing. Ainsley Gionfriddo (’99) will direct the show and play the role of the Mayor, and Martony-Doering (’01), aside from producing the show and running the Alumni Foundation, will play Brave Sir Robin. These productions are certainly entertaining, and they serve as reunions for nostalgic former students. But the most important aspect of the foundation’s mission is its fundraising efforts. Rocky Horror was initially
San MarcoS aluMni FoundaTion TheaTer GrouP Presents SPaMaloT by Maggie Yates considered to be a one-and-done endeavor, but Martony-Doering was inspired to keep the venture alive.“A little voice inside my head told me, ‘This cannot die — the show must go on,’” she said. So she formed the Alumni Foundation Theater Group with the intent to produce annual shows to raise money for the current SMHS Performing Arts Department so the teachers and students can spend more time in the classroom and less time soliciting money. “The Performing Arts Department molded me into the woman I am today,” Martony-Doering said.“It gave me something to love and cherish. Now, my friends who are educators have shared with me the strain that constant fundraising has placed on them and their students. The SMHS Alumni Foundation Theater Group can make a difference for these students and teachers.” If last year’s Rocky Horror Picture Show is any indication, Spamalot will offer a lively performance that embodies a passion for the arts — an enthusiasm that was piqued in high school and continues to flourish in adulthood.
Spamalot plays Friday-Saturday, June 26-27, at 7:30 p.m. at San Marcos High School, 4750 Hollister Avenue. For more information, see smhsalumnitheater.org. All proceeds directly benefit the San Marcos High School Performing Arts Department.

OUTLAW COUNTRY: The Reverend Horton Heat (center) and his band honor the Man in Black at Roadshow Revival, a tribute to Johnny Cash.
CASH GETS CREDIT: One of the greatest bits of Johnny Cash lore takes place
during his Ojai Valley days. Cash moved to Southern California in the late 1950s, where he eventually settled with his family for a time in Casitas Springs between Ojai and Ventura. In 1965, Cash’s truck caught aflame near today’s Sespe Wilderness, turning the forests of Los Padres into a veritable ring of fire, condors and all. Ever the outlaw, Cash spat at the hefty settlement, saying, “I don’t care about your damn yellow buzzards.” Though his 805 days were famously among his darkest, the Man in Black shines now in history as one of country’s deepest poets, bard for the underdogs and under-loved. The 7th Annual Roadshow Revival: A Tribute to the Music of Johnny Cash (roadshowrevival.com) celebrates the man and his music this Saturday-Sunday, June 27-28, at Mission Park in Ventura. Featured acts include Reverend Horton Heat (reverendhortonheat.com), the Texan champions of rockabilly, punkabilly, psychobilly — any damn -billy you could imagine, really; Billy Joe Shaver (billyjoeshaver.com), a whole different kind of Billy, the outlaw legend hailing from the same country glory days as Cash; and The Blasters (theblasters.com), who many may know from their hit “Dark Night.” Along with them play country mile after country mile’s worth of area and traveling bands, all to revere one of this past century’s greatest musicians.

On June 27, Standing Sun Winery, out in Buellton, welcomes California country cowgirl trio Calico the Band (calicotheband.com) — nice music to soundtrack the sweeping ranch landscapes of the Santa Rita Hills. With an admittance price lower than many restaurants’ corkage fees, it’s more than worth the trip to the Santa Ynez Valley.

action and rude humor)
LEGO construction worker Emmet and his pals set out to save their universe from the evil Lord Business. Tue., June 30, 10am, Paseo Nuevo
Pather Panchali (119 mins.; NR) This film tells the story of a young boy named Apu and his impoverished family as they try to eke out a life in a small village in India. Wed., July 1, 5 and 7:30pm, Plaza de Oro
PREMIERES Magic Mike XXL (115 mins.; R: strong sexual content, pervasive language, some nudity, and drug use)
This sequel sees main character Mike and his hard-body buddies head to Myrtle Beach for one last blowout performance. Camino Real/Metro 4 (Opens Tue., June 30)
Max (111 mins.; PG: action violence, peril, brief language, and some thematic elements)
A German shepherd serves with the U.S. Marines in Afghanistan and is then adopted by his handler’s family after they experience a trauma. Fairview/Fiesta 5
Ted 2 (115 mins.; R: crude and sexual content, pervasive language, and some drug use)
In this sequel, Ted must prove in a court of law that he is a person in order to qualify to be a parent along with his new wife, Tami-Lynn. Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo
Terminator Genisys (125 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of sci-fi violence and gunplay throughout, partial nudity, and brief strong language)
The year is 2029 in this series’ fifth installment, and John Connor must send his friend Kyle Reese back to 1984 to save his mother’s life and ensure his own existence. Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D)/ Fiesta 5 (3D) (Opens Tue., June 30)
NOW SHOWING Entourage (104 mins.; R: pervasive language, strong sexual content, nudity, and some drug use)
The boys are back! Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Fer-
rara, and Kevin Dillon reprise their roles for this big-screen premiere of the popular HBO series. Fiesta 5
O Far from the Madding Crowd (119 mins.; PG-13: some sexuality and violence)
Director Thomas Vinterberg’s film maintains the pastoral gentility of the period-piece genre without drowning it in sappy sentiment. Thomas Hardy wrote of a tragic universe stitched with sad happenstance, and Vinterberg does well to maintain both the more shadowy elements of Hardy’s style as well as his lyrical sweetness. (RD) Plaza de Oro I’ll See You in My Dreams (92 mins.; PG-13: sexual material, drug use, and brief strong language)
This comedy-drama tells the story of a widow (Blythe Danner) who begins her life anew. Costars include June Squibb, Rhea Perlman, Mary Kay Place, Sam Elliott, and Malin Akerman. Riviera
O Inside Out
(94 mins.; PG: mild thematic elements and some action)
This Pixar film’s inner journey is a blast, especially the map of consciousness provided: A train of thought takes viewers from long-term memories, through the Unconscious, and down to a scary pit where memories go to die. We believe a silly premise and feel the war between regrets and happy days raging in a world of animated change. (DJP) Camino Real (2D and 3D)/ Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)
O Jurassic World (124 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril) Forget the giant box-office take and noisy buzz — there are plenty of thrills but no quantum leap in either the fearfactor or special-effects departments. In the end, there is running, munching, and artillery, and T. rex gets some awesome roar time. It isn’t brilliant. It’s vintage. (DJP) Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D and 3D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D)
O Love & Mercy (120 mins.; PG-13: thematic elements, drug content, and language) This is a sweetly over-baked biopic, melodramatic and full of beauty, meant to make us all feel guilty we ever mocked Brian Wilson. The film has great vibrations, and, besides, we know there’s no line between madness and genius and only accomplishments matter in the long run. We ought to stop to admire Wilson’s. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo
Paseo Nuevo Cinemas | Santa Barbara Paseo Nuevo Shopping Center | State Street www.metrotheatres.com
O Mad Max: Fury Road (120 mins.; R: intense sequences of violence throughout and disturbing images) George Miller’s fourth Mad Max film is a masterpiece. The movie is an escapist odyssey that nonetheless passes hard judgments on humanity, a detailed descent into hell made with sure rhythms by a director who understands when to apply full throttle and when to ease up so we can think over all we have seen. (DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D) San Andreas (114 mins.; PG-13: intense disaster action and mayhem throughout, and brief strong language) Easily the worst disaster in this film is Paul Giamatti’s performance as a Caltech professor. Outside of that, though, the film isn’t terrible, just a cheesy exploitation of popular fears. Director Brad Peyton seems to be paying homage to Roland (Independence Day, 2012) Emmerich. (DJP)

O Spy (120 mins.; R: language throughout, violence, some sexual content including brief graphic nudity) Spy is the newest comedy for Melissa McCarthy to shine. It’s an outrageous ride filled with great characters, goofy gore, and more twists than any windy rue de Paris. If laughs are your mission, then see the hilarious and energizing Spy and consider the mission accomplished. (RD) Fairview/Metro 4 Testament of Youth (129 mins.; PG-13: thematic material including bloody and disturbing war-related images) A British woman remembers coming of age during WWI in this film about young love and the futility of war.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of June 25 ARIES
CANCER
LIBRA
CAPRICORN
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): During my regular hikes along my favorite trails, I’ve gotten to know the local boulders quite intimately. It might sound daft, but I’ve come to love them. I’ve even given some of them names. They symbolize stability and constancy to me. When I gaze at them or sit on them, I feel my own resolve grow stronger. They teach me about how to be steadfast and unflappable in all kinds of weather. I draw inspiration from the way they are so purely themselves, forever true to their own nature. Now would be an excellent time for you to hang out with your own stony allies, Aries. You could use a boost in your ability to express the qualities they embody.
(June 21-July 22): In its early days, the band Depeche Mode had the infinitely boring name Composition of Sound. Humphrey Bogart’s and Ingrid Bergman’s classic 1942 film Casablanca was dangerously close to being called Everybody Come to Rick’s. And before Charles Dickens published his novel Bleak House, a scathing critique of the 19th-century British judicial system, he considered 11 other possible titles, including the unfortunate Tom-all-Alone’s. The Solitary House that was always shut up and never Lighted. I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, as the seeding phase of your personal cycle gets underway. The imprints you put on your budding creations will have a major impact on their future. Name them well. Give them a potent start.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your symbolic object of the week is a magic wand. I recommend that you visualize yourself as the star of a fairy tale in which you do indeed have a wand at your disposal. See yourself wielding it to carry out a series of fantastic tricks, like materializing a pile of gold coins or giving yourself an extraordinary power to concentrate or creating an enchanted drink that allows you to heal your toughest wound. I think this playful imaginative exercise will subtly enhance your ability to perform actual magic in the real world.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Man’s being is like a vast mansion,� observed philosopher Colin Wilson, “yet he seems to prefer to live in a single room in the basement.�Wilson wasn’t just referring to Capricorns. He meant everybody. Most of us commit the sin of self-limitation on a regular basis. That’s the bad news. The good news, Capricorn, is that you’re entering a time when you’re more likely to rebel against the unconscious restrictions you have placed on yourself. You will have extra motivation to question and overrule the rationales that you used in the past to inhibit your primal energy. Won’t it be fun to venture out of your basement nook and go explore the rest of your domain?
TAURUS
LEO
(Apr. 20-May 20): “Everyone is a genius at least once a year,� wrote German aphorist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. “The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.� According to my astrological analysis, Taurus, your once-a-year explosion of genius is imminent. It’s even possible you will experience a series of eruptions that continue for weeks. The latter scenario is most likely if you unleash the dormant parts of your intelligence through activities like these: having long, rambling conversations with big thinkers; taking long, rambling walks all over creation; enjoying long, rambling sex while listening to provocative music.
(July 23-Aug. 22): One summer afternoon when I was 7 years old, my friend Billy and I grabbed an empty jar from my kitchen and went looking for ants. Near the creek we found an anthill swarming with black ants and scooped a bunch of them in the jar. A little later we came upon a caravan of red ants and shoved many of them in with the black ants. Would they fight? Naturally. It was mayhem. Looking back now, I’m sorry I participated in that stunt. Why stir up a pointless war? In that spirit, Leo, I urge you to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Don’t do anything remotely comparable to putting red ants and black ants in the same jar.
GEMIN
VIRGO
(May 21-June 20): “I think if we didn’t contradict ourselves, it would be awfully boring,� says author Paul Auster. “It would be tedious to be alive.� But he goes even further in his defense of inconsistency, adding, “Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do.� This bold assertion may not apply to everyone all the time, but it does for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. You should feel free to explore and experiment with the high art of changing your mind. I dare you to use it to generate extravagant amounts of beauty.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In order for everyone in your sphere to meet their appointed destinies, you must cultivate your skills as a party animal. I’m only slightly joking. At least for now, it’s your destiny to be the catalyst of conviviality, the ringleader of the festivities, the engineer of fun and games. To fulfill your assignment, you may have to instigate events that encourage your allies to leave their comfort zones and follow you into the frontiers of collaborative amusement.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The taskmaster planet Saturn wove its way through the sign of Scorpio from October 2012 until the end of 2014. Now it has slipped back into your sign for a last hurrah. Between now and mid-September, I urge you to milk its rigorous help in every way you can imagine. For example, cut away any last residues of trivial desires and frivolous ambitions. Hone your focus and streamline your self-discipline. Once and for all, withdraw your precious energy from activities that waste your time and resist your full engagement. And if you’re serious about capitalizing on Saturn’s demanding gifts, try this ritual: Write either “I will never squander my riches� or “I will make full use of my riches� 20 times — whichever motivates you most.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “An obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pasture-land from the overgrowth of cactus,� writes biologist Edward O. Wilson. “A Madagascar ‘weed,’ the rosy periwinkle, provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood leukemia,� he adds, while “a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery,� and a “Norwegian fungus made possible the organ transplant industry.� I think these are all great metaphors for the kind of healing that will be available for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius: humble, simple, seemingly insignificant things whose power to bring transformation has, up until now, been secret or unknown.
SAGITTARIUS
PISCES
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The advanced lessons on tap in the coming days are not for the squeamish, the timid, the lazy, or the stubborn. But then you’re not any of those things, right? So there shouldn’t be a major problem. The purpose of these subterranean adventures and divine interventions is to teach you to make nerveracking leaps of faith, whether or not you believe you’re ready. Here’s one piece of advice that I think will help: Don’t resist and resent the tests as they appear. Rather, welcome them as blessings you don’t understand yet. Be alert for the liberations they will offer.
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “She is hard to tempt, as everything seems to please her equally,� said artist Anne Raymo in describing a hedonistic acquaintance. A similar statement may soon apply to you, Pisces. You will have a talent for finding amusement in an unusually wide variety of phenomena. But more than that: You could become a connoisseur of feeling really good. You may even go so far as to break into a higher octave of pleasure, communing with exotic phenomena that we might call silken thrills and spicy bliss and succulent revelry.

Wine of the Week Meiomi Chardonnay 2013
SanTa BarBara Winery, 202 Anacapa St. 963‑3633. Open Sun‑Thurs 10a‑6p & Fri‑Sat 10a ‑ 7p, small charge for extensive tasting list. 2 blocks from both State St & the beach. This venerable winery is the county’s oldest‑ est.1962, and offers many internationally acclaimed wines from their Lafond Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills. Try some of Winemaker Bruce McGuire’s small production bottling. www.sbwinery.com
A blend from coastal vineyards (meiomi comes from a Native American word for coast) in Santa Barbara (49%), Sonoma (30%), and Monterey (21%), this chardonnay will please lovers of bigger styles of the varietal even though the fruit comes from cooler climate vineyards. Think of this bottle as a bit of a throwback to when butter was better (the wine does go through 100% malolactic fermentation) and when the fruits lean to the tropical and stone more than citrus.

Meiomi is part of the large Wagner Family group of wineries — just the Meiomi/Belle Glos portion of the empire makes over a quarter million cases a year — led by Chuck Wagner of Caymus. Joseph J. Wagner makes the Meiomi wines (there’s a popular pinot, too), and he is committed to blending across California to get what he sees as the best aspects of different grapes. See meomiwines.com.

annual Santa Barbara Wine Festival is Saturday, June 27, 2-5 p.m. “This is a wine-focused festival,” said the museum’s Meredith Moore.“However, we have a large array of top-shelf food purveyors, many of whom are especially paired with wineries that complement one another.” See sbnature.org/winefestival.

A
new Japanese restaurant named Yoichi’s will open at the end of June at 230 East Victoria Street, the former home of Spiritland Bistro. Serving kaiseki cuisine as well as traditional sushi, Yoichi’s will feature seasonal nigiri and sashimi, but not rolls. Chef/owner Yoichi Kawabata has 25 years of experience working in kitchens from Japan to America, most recently at Nobu in Tokyo, and he specializes in kaiseki. Kawabata calls kaiseki the most refined form of Japanese cuisine. “Traditional multicourse meals are prepared from the freshest seasonal ingredients, and it is prepared by highly skilled chefs in ways to enhance their original flavor,” he explained. “Each course follows the next in precise sequence, paced perfectly for maximum enjoyment.” Kawabata said that the most important part of kaiseki is that it reflects the seasons.“Both ingredients and tableware are selected carefully to evoke profound awareness of the time of year,” he said of the style, which originated in the 16th century and began with Sen no Rikyū, the pioneer of tea ceremony. Today there are two ways to enjoy kaiseki: with saké or as part of a formal tea ceremony.“Japanese people like to sip on saké while eating small portions of a number of different types of food,” said Kawabata.“Kaiseki is the most refined version of that style of meal. In modern times, it is served in high-end restaurants and traditional hotels known as Ryokan.” Yoichi’s will be open Tuesday-Sunday, 5-10 p.m. Call 962-6627.
