Cover STORY
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Indy Big Shot Paul Wellman’s photos are worth millions. Our favorite photographer heads to all points of the county, often on the same day, in search of just the right image for our stories and always comes back with trophies. A sunny fall Friday found him in Pt. Mugu with the Breitling Jet Team, squeezing into the copilot’s spot — complete with control stick, rudder pedals, emergency hatch release, and live ejection seat — of an Aero L-39 Albatros that ripped along doing stunts at 500 mph. A GoPro documented the trip, but, ironically, no SLR or even iPhone use was allowed in flight. “All the controls and levers are live,” his pilot said. “It’s best to just hold onto your straps and enjoy the ride.” Which really is good advice for most everything.

Dana Marie O’Neill 1958-2015
Too young. Too full of life. Our dearest, sweet, beautiful, intelligent, zestful, restless, caring, indefatigable, force-of-nature Dana Marie O’Neill was pulled from our arms on the rain-soaked evening of December 13th. The foe was breast cancer, an adversary she had seemingly vanquished over the course of an eight-year battle, but one that recurred two years ago and to which she finally succumbed at the youthful age of 57. Over the span of her bustling life, Dana accomplished more than most can even dream. Hailing from Santa Cruz and San Jose, she migrated south to attend UCSB, graduating with a degree in psychology. After college, Dana moved to Steamboat Springs, where she led whiney packs of troubled teens out for weeks at a time through the Colorado Rockies. There in those rugged climes she became a proficient kayaker, fearless climber and expert skier, and developed something of an insatiable lust for adventure. The latter soon tugged her along a meandering, eighteen-month solo trip through Central and South America wherein she immersed herself in the Brazilian Mardi Gras, got robbed at knifepoint in Rio, hitched boat rides with indigenous people up to the headwaters of the Amazon, and got utterly lost in the flooded rainforest for several days, taking shelter from a downpour in an abandoned lean-to before being found and led to safety by shepherds. She then pushed further south to Patagonia, then back north along the Andes where she was the only woman on two climbing expeditions, each summiting peaks of over 20,000 feet. Later she crawled through the centuries-old, unmapped silver mines of Potosi, paying her guide in the local currency of coca leaves and dynamite. In Ecuador she came close to dying of pneumonia in a dank traveler’s hovel but, once recovered and reinvigorated, pushed overland through the murderous region of Medellin, trudged north up the unpaved isthmus of the Darien Gap, parked for a few months to hone her Spanish skills in Guatemala, then went on to Mexico where a rip current dragged her out into heavy Pacific surf and nearly drowned her.

ing swim to shore during which she vowed to settle down and return home, which she promptly did only to run out of gas en route in a rental car at 2:00 a.m. in South Central L.A. She moved back to Santa Barbara in 1991, adding to her scholastic résumé an MFCC degree from Cal State Northridge and writing her thesis on—what else?—wilderness therapy. After working as a translating mediator for Ventura County Superior Court, she repurposed her skills into a successful real estate career here in Santa Barbara. Then, in 1997 she married her longtime and patient fiancé and promptly launched headlong into the next phase of her adventurous life by giving birth to her two sons—verily the joys of her life—who she then began dragging along on her seemingly endless secession of further adventures including Canada, Mexico, Kenya, and even an arduous climb up to the top of Half Dome, and all in just the past year. Dana is survived by her mother and father Beverly and Bill O’Neill, siblings Rory, Kirk and Steve, uncle Jack O’Neill, cousins Janis, Bill and Rio Spicer, husband Robert Johnson, and sons Luke and Dane Johnson O’Neill, as well as an expansive bevy of friends and admirers and fellow “Burners” the world ’round.

Nels Fridjof Lee
03/08/14-12/23/15
Nels Fridjof Lee passed away December 23, 2015, at Sarah House in Santa Barbara, surrounded by the love of many family members. He was born in Jevnaker, Norway, on March 8, 1914. He grew up with six older brothers on a farm that his parents homesteaded near McGregor, North Dakota. He remembered clearing rocks from three quarter sections of land, plowing and hauling water with a team of horses, and making the 7-mile trip to town in a sleigh during many blizzards. He and his brothers were baptized and confirmed in the Norwegian Lutheran Church. He attended one year of college but had to move back to the family farm to help his father in the 1930s, losing 4 years of crops to drought, hail and grasshoppers. After moving to Shelby, Montana, in 1937 to work in the oil fields, he married his first wife, Lilah Irgens, in 1940. His son Jerry and daughter Sharon (Moniot) were born there. His second marriage, to Helen Rittenhouse, took place in Great Falls, Montana, in 1951, and they soon moved to Santa Ynez. Daughters Christy (Weir) and Jennifer (Seymour) were born in Santa Barbara. He always said the best decision of his life was settling in Santa Barbara to work for the California State Lands Commission as a petroleum production inspector. Working outdoors on the oil platforms and coastal oilfields was always a fulfilling adventure for him. The house he bought in 1959, near Hendry’s Beach, was his home for 56 years. What he loved the most was his garden, riding his tractor and digging in the soil, pruning fruit trees and canning fruit sauces. He could be found every weekend in his garden or workshop, constructing furniture and fixing tools and cars. He could build anything, repair anything and grow anything. Always comfortable in the kitchen, tri-tip, pea soup and lefse were his specialties. A member of the Elks Lodge for over 70 years, Nels enjoyed many bowling and golf trips with his “brother Elks.” He was very thankful to his regular poker-playing friends for so many “donations” over the years! One of his favorite excursions up to the age of 100 was to the Chumash Casino to play blackjack. Nels was also an intrepid

cross-country driver, taking his family on many long road trips to explore the U.S. He was always generous with his time and money and loved helping his children and grandchildren in any way he could. His family and friends admired Nels for his determination, integrity and strength. He is survived and will be greatly missed by his four children, 8 grandchildren (Tammy Moniot Hamilton, Michelle Moniot Meir, Rick Moniot, Tisa Moniot, Erin Weir Bancroft, Jeremy Weir, Katie Seymour Piper, Kori Seymour Cohen), 15 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
Jeff Matthew Reece 10/31/46-12/26/15
Jeff Matthew Reece died on December 26, at age 69, after a fiveyear battle with melanoma. Jeff was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on October 31, 1946, the first year of the post-war Baby Boom. As a boy, he lived with his parents, older sister, and younger brother in the Chestnut Hill section of Brookline. He attended the local elementary school through sixth grade and then the Roxbury Latin School in Boston. During the summers, he attended Camp Young Judea in New Hampshire. In his teens and beyond, he enjoyed singing folk songs and playing his 12-steel-string guitar. Picking up on an affectionate nickname used by his father, he changed his first name from Jeffrey to Jefferson, although he always preferred to be called Jeff. After graduating from Roxbury Latin, Jeff attended MIT, where he majored in chemical engineering. During college summers he combined work with travel around Europe and the Middle East, participating in research at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel. After graduating from MIT, he earned Masters degrees in both chemical and civil engineering at UC Berkeley. In 1970, he married Trudy Sanders, and the two of them went into the Peace Corps in Santiago, Chile, where Jeff was involved in research aimed at incorporating protein from fishmeal into a milk supplement for malnourished infants. While there, he met the Chilean president Salvador Allende. When Jeff and Trudy returned
to the States, they settled in Bos Boston, where Jeff worked at the civil engineering firm Faye, Spofford and Thorndike on the design and development of wastewater treatment facilities as well as other projects. Their son, Ethan, was born there in 1972. In 1979, they moved to Santa Barbara, where their daughter Naomi was born. During his 37 years in Santa Barbara, Jeff worked on a wide range of environmental projects, mostly for HDR Engineering and SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation). Jeff had many interests beyond his work; he was a true Renaissance man. He was an avid reader, a film and music buff, and an early computer enthusiast. He enjoyed traveling and loved learning languages. He was fluent in Spanish and French, but he also had a working familiarity with several other languages. For many years, he was an active member of Le Cercle Francais, a French discussion group in Santa Barbara. Throughout his life, Jeff made it a point to keep in touch with his friends around the world. He corresponded with his French pen pal, Gérard Lachêvre, from the time they were both 12 until Gérard died a few years ago. He also remained close to his older aunts and uncle who did not have children of their own; he was like a son to them and was actively involved in their lives as they aged. He was a lifelong supporter of the State of Israel and had been a member of both Young Israel of Santa Barbara and Congregation B’nai B’rith. Jeff will be fondly remembered as a sweet, gentle, soft-spoken, kind, generous person who was an exceptionally good listener. He never learned to drive because of poor eyesight, but he knew how to use the Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit System like no one else. (His Santa Barbara grandkids called him Grandpa Bus.) Jeff and Trudy remained good friends after they divorced, and he was a devoted father and grandfather. He is survived by his son Ethan Reece and his wife Hsingyi Lin; his daughter Naomi Anafi and her husband Ron; his five grandchildren Lila, Ari, and Joshua Anafi, and Levi and Rose Reece; his sister Jane Reece and her husband Paul Ossa; his nephew Daniel Gillen and his partner Maria Parlante; his sister-in-law Molly Reece; and numerous cousins and loving friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Rose Long Reece, and his brother Michael Reece. A graveside funeral service for Jeff will be held at the Santa Barbara Cemetery on Tuesday, December 29, at 2 pm. Contributions in Jeff’s memory can be made to Water for People or the Jewish National Fund. cont’D

Full of cheer, joy, laughter and love until, literally, the last moment of her life, Hilda (Shanta-Ma) Densmore passed away on December 26 at Sarah House. Her memorial will be at the Vedanta Temple, Sunday, January 17, 4pm, followed by reception in the convent. She is survived by her son, Robert Densmore, and Andree Laval of Rancho Cordova, CA; her daughter, Pravrajika Vrajaprana, a nun at Santa Barbara’s Vedanta Temple; and granddaughters Nicola Densmore of Minneapolis and Lesley Densmore Anderson and Jordan Anderson of Portland. She is also survived by the throngs of people for whom she was a surrogate mom or, alternately, a loyal, loving friend (and fiendish card shark). The original “hugging mother,” Hilda was eager to love, embrace and hold in her arms all those who came into her considerable orbit. She specifically instructed that no one grieve at her departure, but rather “share the love,” as she so often said, and respond to life’s difficulties with strength, gratitude and inveterate cheerfulness. In lieu of flowers, please donate to either Sarah House, where she joyfully lived during her final nine months, or to the Vedanta Temple, which was her spiritual home.
Gina Disparte
03/24/60-12/24/15 Gina Disparte was born in Los Angeles on March 24, 1960 and died in the Santa Ynez High Valley on December 24, 2015. She graduated from Santa Ynez High School in 1978 and attended Southwestern University in Texas.

Animals were with her throughout her life; hamsters, guinea pigs, and turtles at age 6, rabbits at age 12, her first horse “Windy” at age 13, many dogs over the years and during her last years her beloved horse “Kiwi”. As an adult Gina became an expert breeder of exotic birds. Her specialty was hand rasing rare birds from hatchlings to maturity. Gina was twice married: ten years to Arthur Root and eight years to Mark Quiroz Sr. She is survived by sons Jacob Root, Cody Root, David Quiroz, Mark Quiroz Jr., daughter Raeanna Quiroz, her father Charlie independent.com

Do I have to have my wisdom teeth taken out? It depends. Although most people do have their wisdom teeth removed, if you have adequate room for the teeth to come in you may be able to keep them. In cases where your wisdom teeth are impacted, or you do not have room in your mouth for them, they can cause problems if you choose to keep them.

Without space for the teeth to erupt properly, you can end up with infections, jaw pain, decay on the teeth and damage to the adjacent teeth. They are also very difficult to keep clean and maintain properly. Wisdom teeth surgery does not have to be incapacitating. With our modern anesthesia techniques, IV sedation and PRF therapy, most of our patients are back to work or school within a day or two. We would be happy to see you for a consultation if your wisdom teeth are concerning you.

GAVIOTA COAST’S OIL NIGHTMARE: The nation tuned in to Santa Barbara in May when a pipeline burst along the Gaviota Coast and the Refugio Oil Spill became our region’s news story of the year. The images of oily ducks, struggling pelicans, and hazmat suits that ensued sparked protests at Platform Holly (top) and will continue reverberating in economic fallout and environmental policy for years to come.

ince the year 2001, The Santa Barbara Independent’ Independent’s pages have featured the ever-evolving work of photographer Paul Wellman, who celebrates his 15th year with this newspaper in April. Given that we are in the midst of the newspaper’s 30th anniversary, simple math reveals that Wellman’s tenure covers half of this publication’s entire existence, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
That’s good news for all of us, as Wellman knows the players and places that make Santa Barbara tick better than even some of the region’s sharpest observers. Every day, he’s in the courtrooms, the concert halls, the stadiums, and everywhere else that visual stories are underway, diligently capturing the news as it happens. Here’s some of his best stuff from 2015, so please enjoy this look back at the past 12 months as you ring in the New Year. independent.com

The Gibraltar Fire, which consumed 21 acres of steep and dry backcountry behind Montecito this fall, was the bullet the South Coast dodged thanks to a massive and almost instantaneous deployment of air tankers and helicopters. As many as 10 planes — including the telegenic DC-10 — and 10 copters were engaged in what proved to be a picture-perfect campaign bolstered by dozens of dozers, engines, and hand crews. Not long after the first call came in at 5:16 a.m. on October 29, the teams had battled back 30-foot flames fed by 40 mph winds. Just the day before, fire departments in the region raised fire-danger alerts ahead of predicted sundowners. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation. The Solimar Fire (bottom right), which scorched more than 1,200 acres and shut down Highway 101 traffic between Carpinteria and Ventura in both directions, started late Christmas night by arcing power lines in high winds. Concerns now are that, should El Niño storms arrive soon, mudslides could cause the same closures.

(1) In one of the most celebrated concerts of the year, Steven Tyler (right) and Joe Perry showed the thousands of fans at the Bowl why their band, Aerosmith, has been selling out stadiums for decades. (2) Sufjan Stevens created a feeling of familiarity and a strong sense of catharsis during his stop at the Arlington in October while on tour for his album, Carrie & Lowell Lowell, a record inspired by the loss of his mother in 2012. (3) Still a firebrand after half a century of making some of the most unapologetic rock of all time, Neil Young played loud and long at the Bowl, breaking the 10 p.m. noise curfew and delivering a promise of a better world. (4) Lindsey Stirling created a spectacular spectacle of sights and sounds that provided one wow-ing moment after another during her Bowl appearance. (5) The Scorpions celebrated their 50th anniversary making music with a stop in Santa Barbara. (6) Alabama Shakes’ singer Brittany Howard wielded her titanic voice like a flamethrower, filling the Bowl with wholehearted fervor and unforgettable soul. (7) Chris Cornell kept things intimate and relaxed, intermingling stories and self-deprecating humor between new songs and old during his dynamic solo acoustic set. (8) At her summer Bowl show, Aretha Franklin delivered volleys of vocal play, improvising, stretching, and bending notes as a Queen of Soul should.

FINAL PREPARATIONS: Pictured is the inside of Lure Fish House a few days before opening.
O
n August 15, 2013, I published a rumor that Lure Fish House was coming to Upper State Street. After writing 18 follow-up stories since then, I am very happy to report that Lure Fish House opened last Tuesday in La Cumbre Plaza, in the space formerly occupied by Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Lure offers lunch and dinner, though it will only be open for dinner the first five days as the staff comes up to speed. Santa Barbara is Lure Fish House’s fourth location, with other restaurants in Ventura, Camarillo, and Westlake. Lure Fish House was created with the goal of providing a top-tier seafood experience featuring fresh and sustainable seafood from trusted sources. The restaurant strives to provide locally caught seafood, organically grown local produce, and wines from local vineyards whenever possible. Lure also features a full bar with specialty cocktails, and an oyster bar serving a variety of fresh items that can vary daily. Lure specializes in mesquite charbroiled seafood while also providing prepared selections by its chef. Menus are printed daily to reflect availability and guarantee freshness. The menu typically includes Wild Rock Fish, Wild Yellowtail, Wild Pacific White Sea Bass, Wild Ono/Wahoo, Wild Mahi-Mahi, Loch Etive Steelhead, Icelandic Arctic Char, Scottish Salmon, Wild Local Halibut, Wild Pacific Swordfish, and Jumbo Wild Gulf Shrimp. The menu also includes a variety of oysters (Kumai, Chef Creek, Lure Charbroiled, Hama Hama, Blue Point, Fanny Bay, and Crystal Point) and pastas (Linguini & Clam Sauce, Spicy Seafood, Spicy Tequila Lime Shrimp, and Lobster Ravioli) along with soups, bread bowls, salads, crab cakes, calamari, and more. The lunch-only menu includes tacos, sandwiches, and fish and chips. A kids menu is available. Hours are 11:30 a.m. to close, usually around 10:30 p.m. Thanks to reader Travis for the tip.

Union Ale at 214 State Street will close at the end of 2015, and it will become a new restaurant named Brewers and have an all-new menu. I am told that Brewers is going to focus on delivery and remove most of the TVs. As always, this rumor might be completely false or a brilliant forecast of future events. Your call.
MAMA LU CLOSES: Mama Lu, which opened at 415 North Milpas Street in September 2009, has closed its doors. STONE AGE OPENS: Stone Age Restaurant has
opened at 415 North Milpas Street, the former home of Mama Lu. Like its predecessor, Stone Age offers Chinese cuisine. PADARO GRILL SOLD: Businessperson Will
Ramsone has purchased Padaro Grill at 3765 Santa Claus Lane from Brent Reichard, cofounder of the popular The Habit Burger Grill. NECTAR DEALS: Nectar Eatery & Lounge, at 20
East Cota Street, formerly Blue Agave, now offers nightly specials. Sweet Sundays feature a free dessert for every two entrees ordered. Meatless Mondays offers several specially-created vegetarian dishes, in addition to the full menu. On Tequila and Tamale Tuesdays, all tequila drinks are 20 percent off, and Nectar offers a rotating selection from S.B. Tamales to Go. And Wine Wednesdays will waive corkage for every entree purchased. Hours are 5 p.m.-1:30 a.m. daily. Call 899-4694.
2015 Year in review My foodie duties for the year wouldn’t be complete without summarizing activity at food and drink destinations on the South Coast. In 2015, there were 55 openings and 57 closings of food and drink venues across the South Coast. The most openings were in April and June (seven) while the most closings were in June (six). This year saw both the most openings and closings in a calendar year since I started tracking restaurant statistics in 2007. Only one other year (2011) saw the number of closings exceed the number of openings. FOOD STORY OF THE YEAR: Without a doubt, the biggest food news stories of 2015 in Santa Barbara were the openings and quick implosions of numerous Haggen Food & Pharmacy grocery stores. In June, Haggen opened at 3943 State Street and 2010 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara, 163 South Turnpike Road and 165 North Fairview Avenue in Goleta, and 850 Linden Avenue in Carpinteria, replacing Vons and Albertsons. Public displeasure with prices, firings, and a variety of other issues,
FALLEN ICONS: Santa Barbara lost two longtime area eateries: Esau’s Café, 721 Chapala Street, which has been open in the downtown area since 1961, and Sojourner Café, 134 East Canon Perdido Street, serving since 1978. Speaking of icons, the Summerland space occupied for decades by The Big Yellow House, which has been closed for years, will reopen as Pace restaurant in 2016. MOST POPULAR STORIES: Based on the stats

Acinum Valpolicella Ripasso DOP 2014: If people know valpolicella, a red grape from the Veneto in northern Italy, it’s usually the “standard” version, a pleasing, fruit-forward light wine. But when it’s a ripasso, or “repassed,” version, things change quite a bit. In the case of this Acinum, that means there’s a second fermentation with the marc, which are the leftover skins, stems, and so forth from the production of the dried-grape-wine style called amarone. That addition makes this wine heartier, brawnier, and higher in alcohol (14 percent) than the usual valpolicella, even as it lacks the deep pruney quality one finds in the yet stronger amarone. The result is a wine offering dried cherry and spice flavors that goes with a wider range of food, from porcini risotto to porchetta. Acinum, which means “grape” in Latin, is a new Italian wine line by Vias Imports that gives the company a chance to oversee its own winemaking. Based on this bottle, they’re onto something, especially when the suggested $23 price means you can find this wine in the mid-teens. See viaswine.com. — George Yatchisin

1/2: College Men’s Basketball: Point Loma at UCSB The prodigal sons return. UCSB has not played on its home court since a December 3 loss to USC. The Gauchos traveled as far away as South Dakota and Vermont during a stretch of out-of-state games. At one point, they had suffered five consecutive losses until securing an 80-76 victory over Iona at a tournament in Las Vegas, thanks to Michael Bryson’s careerhigh 29 points and Mitch Brewe’s late tip-in.

Movie Guide
The Danish Girl (120 mins.; R: some
Edited by Michelle Drown
The following films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, through THURSDAY, JANUARY 7. Descriptions followed by initials — RD (Richie DeMaria) and DJP (D.J. Palladino) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com. The symbol O indicates the film is recommended.
FIRST LOOKS O Carol
(118 mins.; R: a scene of sexuality/ nudity and brief language)
Based on the Patricia Highsmith novel The Price of Salt, Carol is the story of Therese (Rooney Mara) who falls in love at a glance with an older, more experienced woman, Carol (Cate Blanchett). Their experience of America is far more constricting than most melodramas set in the 1950s. Not exactly revolutionary in dimensions, Carol and Therese’s fate feels like a liberation in real-world gay role making but also promises a possibility that subtle layers of seemingly automatic shame might disappear from future movies about lesbian lovers. (DJP). Plaza de Oro The Hateful Eight (187 mins.; R: strong bloody violence, a scene of violent sexual content, language, and some graphic nudity) The Hateful Eight is certainly majestic, often slow but never boring. Despite the grandeur and the expensive cameras, the movie then shuts itself inside for the duration in a rustic outpost called Minnie’s Haberdashery, which sounds more like Disneyland than Boot Hill. And after all the existential snow, the big empty, the conclusion veers closer to Agatha Christie than Zane Grey. Hateful is a Cinerama approach to the spaghetti Western splotched onto a gory whodunit. (DJP) Riviera
SCREENINGS O Frozen (102 mins.; PG: some action, mild rude humor) Anna and Kristoff unite on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister, Elsa, and rescue their kingdom from an endless winter. Besides its long-overdue bow to feminist hopes, Frozen strikes a nice balance between expectation and surprise; we’re on safe (if frigid) terrain, but the plot keeps you guessing. (DJP) Sat., Jan. 2, 3pm, Plaza Playhouse Theater, 4916 Carpinteria Ave., Carpinteria
In the Shadow of Women (73 mins.; NR)
This French film tells the story of two documentary filmmakers whose lives are turned upside down when they meet young trainee Elisabeth. Wed., Jan. 6, 5 and 7:30pm, Plaza de Oro
The Revenant (156 mins.; R: strong frontier combat and violence including gory images, a sexual assault, language, and brief nudity)
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a frontiersman who sets out on a campaign of revenge on those in his hunting party who left him for dead after being mauled by a bear. Tom Hardy and Domhnall Gleeson also star. Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo (Opens Thu., Jan. 7)
NOW SHOWING Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (92 mins.; PG: some mild rude humor)
When Alvin, Simon, and Theodore think that Dave (Jason Lee) is going to dump them after proposing to his new girlfriend, the trio flies into action to stop it from happening. Fairview/Fiesta 5 The Big Short (130 mins.; R: pervasive language and some sexuality/nudity)
Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell reunite on-screen for this film based on Michael Lewis’s best-selling book about four people who predicted the implosion of the credit and housing bubble and bet against the big banks, thus profiting from the financial crisis. Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo
O Brooklyn
(111 mins.; PG-13: a scene of sexuality and brief strong language)
The film begins visually in dowdy monochromatic tones with a surprisingly drab Saoirse Ronan as Ellis, an Irish girl with no prospects on the eve of her departure for America. As Ellis sets sail, however, the film’s colors brighten and deepen and the story accumulates glories of composition and striking period details. Brooklyn is indeed a strong woman’s film, but it’s also a glowing testament to America’s meaning. (DJP) Fiesta 5 Concussion (123 mins.; PG-13: thematic material including some disturbing images and language)
Will Smith stars as forensic neuropathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu, a U.S. immigrant from Nigeria who discovers football-related brain trauma called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and fights against the NFL to have his findings known. Fairview/Metro 4
sexuality and full nudity)
The Danish Girl tells the story of Lili Elbe (Eddie Redmayne), one of history’s first sex-reassignment patients, and her partner, Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander). It’s another tale of private suffering told with delicate dignity, albeit at the expense of more daring storytelling. The acting is superb and the set pieces exquisite, but the film is normative on the whole. (RD) Paseo Nuevo
O The Good Dinosaur (100 mins.; PG: peril, action, and thematic elements) A budding young sauropod named Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa) goes on a quest to find his homeland and befriends a feisty cave-boy along the way. The movie tackles themes of parental loss, fear, and loneliness through the timeless medium of dinosaurs traveling on a brave odyssey. Depending on your age group, it is a sweet and cute movie or a poignant visual poem or some combination of both. (RD) Fiesta 5 Joy (124 mins.; PG-13: brief strong language) Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence team up again with director David O. Russell for this film based on the true story of Joy Mangano, who invented the Miracle Mop. Allies become adversaries and vice versa as she rises in the business world and becomes matriarch to her family dynasty. Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo Point Break (114 mins.; PG-13: violence, thematic material involving perilous activity, some sexuality, language, and drug material)
This remake of the classic 1991 film starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze tells the same story — a young FBI agent infiltrates a team of extreme sports athletes who also pull off corporate heists. Camino Real/Metro 4
Sisters (118 mins.; R: crude sexual content and language throughout, and for drug use)
Fri., Jan. 1, 7pm, Plaza Playhouse Theater, 4916 Carpinteria Ave., Carpinteria
PREMIERES The Forest (95 mins.; PG-13: disturbing
O Creed
(133 mins.; PG-13: violence, language, and some sensuality)
Sylvester Stallone steals this movie from its presumed star, Michael B. Jordan. It’s his world, after all. What energizes the movie, however, is director Ryan Coogler, who made the great tragic independent film Fruitvale Station with Jordan and now turns this shopworn material into something daring and flashy, particularly the first big boxing match of the film. (DJP) Fiesta 5 Daddy’s Home (96 mins.; PG-13:
Natalie Dormer and Taylor Kinney star in this supernatural horror film. Sara (Dormer) travels to the base of Mount Fuji in Japan to find out what happened to her twin sister who mysteriously disappeared. Fiesta 5 (Opens Thu., Jan. 7)
thematic elements, crude and suggestive material, and language)
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star in this comedy that pits father against stepfather. Fairview/Fiesta 5

O Spotlight
(128 mins.; R: some language including sexual references)

The story begins in 2001 when new Globe editor Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber) reads an alarming column in his own paper that alludes to a priest sexually abusing children with a church apparatus apparently covering for him. Baron directs the Spotlight staff to look into allegations, and the story keeps expanding in horrible dimensions. (DJP) Fiesta 5

O Star Wars: The Force Awakens What’s best about the new Star Wars movie is that it isn’t just for white boys anymore. The new maestro, J.J. Abrams, puts a strong, principled woman and a black man equally gifted in the morally awake department in the central roles. Yet it never feels like some quota of inclusiveness was invoked. But my favorite aspect of the new Star Wars universe is that it’s funny again. It’s also dark enough to fit the Lucas cosmology. (DJP) Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D and 3D)/Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

CANCER
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): John Koenig is an artist who invents new words. Here’s one that’s applicable to your journey in 2016: “keyframe.” Koenig defines it as being a seemingly mundane phase of your life that is in fact a turning point. Major plot twists in your big story arrive half-hidden amid a stream of innocuous events. They don’t come about through “a series of jolting epiphanies,” Koenig says, but rather “by tiny imperceptible differences between one ordinary day and the next.” In revealing this secret, I hope I’ve alerted you to the importance of acting with maximum integrity and excellence in your everyday routine.
(June 21-July 22): Be alert for an abundance of interesting lessons in 2016. You will be offered teachings about a variety of practical subjects, including how to take care of yourself really well, how to live the life you want to live, and how to build the connections that serve your dreams. If you are even moderately responsive to the prompts and nudges that come your way, you will become smarter than you thought possible. So just imagine how savvy you’ll be if you ardently embrace your educational opportunities. (Please note that some of these opportunities may be partially in disguise.)
people rode them, and others sat in carriages and wagons that horses pulled. But as cities grew larger, a problem emerged: the mounting manure left behind on the roads. It became an ever-increasing challenge to clear away the equine “pollution.” In 1894, a British newspaper predicted that the streets of London would be covered with nine feet of the stuff by 1950. But then something unexpected happened: cars. Gradually, the threat of an excremental apocalypse waned. I present this story as an example of what I expect for you in 2016: a pressing dilemma that will gradually dissolve because of the arrival of a factor you can’t imagine yet.
TAURUS
LEO
SCORPIO
(Apr. 20-May 20): The coming months look like one of the best times ever for your love life. Old romantic wounds are finally ready to be healed. You’ll know what you have to do to shed tired traditions and bad habits that have limited your ability to get the spicy sweetness you deserve. Are you up for the fun challenge? Be horny for deep feelings. Be exuberantly aggressive in honoring your primal yearnings. Use your imagination to dream up new approaches to getting what you want. The innovations in intimacy that you initiate in the coming months will keep bringing you gifts and teachings for years to come.
(July 23-Aug. 22): The silkworm grows fast. Once it hatches, it eats constantly for three weeks. By the time it spins its cocoon, it’s 10,000 times heavier than it was in the beginning. On the other hand, a mature, 60-foot-tall saguaro cactus may take 30 years to fully grow a new side arm. It’s in no hurry. From what I can tell, Leo, 2015 was more like a silkworm year for you, whereas 2016 will more closely resemble a saguaro. Keep in mind that while the saguaro phase is different from your silkworm time, it’s just as important.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In ancient times, observers of the sky knew the difference between stars and planets. The stars remained fixed in their places. The planets wandered around, always shifting positions in relationship to the stars. But now and then, at irregular intervals, a very bright star would suddenly materialize out of nowhere, stay in the same place for a while, and then disappear. Chinese astronomers called these “guest stars.” We refer to them as supernovae. They are previously dim or invisible stars that explode, releasing tremendous energy for a short time. I suspect that in 2016, you may experience the metaphorical equivalent of a guest star. Learn all you can from it. It’ll provide teachings and blessings that could feed you for years.
VIRGO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The longest river in the world flows through eastern Africa: the Nile. It originates below the equator and empties into the Mediterranean Sea. Although its current flows north, its prevailing winds blow south. That’s why sailors have found it easily navigable for thousands of years. They can either go with the flow of the water or use sails to harness the power of the breeze. I propose that we make the Nile your official metaphor in 2016, Scorpio. You need versatile resources that enable you to come and go as you please — that are flexible in supporting your efforts to go where you want and when you want.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The sky calls me,” wrote Virgo teacher and poet Sri Chinmoy. “The wind calls me. The moon and stars call me. The dense groves call me. The dance of the fountain calls me. Smiles call me, tears call me. A faint melody calls me. The morn, noon and eve call me. Everyone is searching for a playmate. Everyone is calling me,‘Come, come!’” In 2016, Virgo, I suspect you will have a lot of firsthand experience with feelings like these. Sometimes life’s seductiveness may overwhelm you, activating confused desires to go everywhere and do everything. On other occasions, you will be enchanted by the lush invitations and will know exactly how to respond and reciprocate.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In many cases, steel isn’t fully useful if it’s too hard. Manufacturers often have to soften it a bit. This process, which is called tempering, makes the steel springier and more malleable. Car parts, for example, can’t be too rigid. If they were, they’d break too easily. I invite you to use “tempering” as one of your main metaphors in 2016, Sagittarius. You’re going to be strong and vigorous, and those qualities will serve you best if you keep them flexible. Do you know the word “ductile”? If not, look it up. It’ll be a word of power for you.
LIBRA
CAPRICORN
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the 19th century, horses were a primary mode of personal transportation. Some
SAGITTARIUS
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his essay “The Etiquette of Freedom,” poet Gary Snyder says that wildness “is

perennially within us, dormant as a hard-shelled seed, awaiting the fire or flood that awakes it again.” The fact that it’s a “hard-shelled” seed is a crucial detail. The vital stuff inside the stiff outer coating may not be able to break out and start growing without the help of a ruckus. A fire or flood? They might do the job. But I propose, Capricorn, that in 2016 you find an equally vigorous but less disruptive prod to liberate your dormant wildness. Like what? You could embark on a brave pilgrimage or quest. You could dare yourself to escape your comfort zone. Are there any undomesticated fantasies you’ve been suppressing? Unsuppress them!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Frederick the Great was King of Prussia between 1740 and 1786. He was also an Aquarius who sometimes experimented with eccentric ideas. When he brewed his coffee, for example, he used champagne instead of water. Once the hot elixir was ready to drink, he mixed in a dash of powdered mustard. In light of the astrological omens, I suspect that Frederick’s exotic blend might be an apt symbol for your life in 2016: a vigorous, rich, complex synthesis of champagne, coffee, and mustard. (P.S. Frederick testified that “champagne carries happiness to the brain.”)
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): My Piscean acquaintance Arturo plays the piano as well as anyone I’ve heard. He tells me that he can produce 150 different sounds from any single key. Using the foot pedals accounts for some of the variation. How he touches a key is an even more important factor. It can be percussive, fluidic, staccato, relaxed, lively, and many other moods. I invite you to cultivate a similar approach to your unique skills in 2016. Expand and deepen your ability to draw out the best in them. Learn how to be even more expressive with the powers you already possess. Homework: If you’d like to enjoy my books, music, and videos without spending any money, go here: bit.ly/LiberatedGifts.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

make myself at home by Sarah Sinclair
California Cottage with style Galore M y dog Scout is a little bit quirky.
Address: 415 West Sola Street Status: On the market
There’s even a secret panel in the study that hides a mysterious cubby space behind one wall, and a covered pass-through window between the dining room and the kitchen. The property is almost a quarter acre, and is zoned R-4, so the new owner may be able to add another unit or expand the house even more. But whether one sees this four-bedroom, two-bath home as a quirky fixer-upper or a treasure from
a bygone era just waiting to be restored to its former glory, I hope that someone who appreciates this home’s storied past and current charm, as well as its future potential, will decide to buy it and cherish it. Scout and I will be walking by regularly to watch and see.
415 West Sola Street is currently for sale in Santa Barbara, listed by Tim Johnson of Keller Williams Realty. Reach Tim at 403-6323.

tillo, next to the freeway. And that’s how I discovered 415 West Sola Street, which is actually on the corner of Sola and Euclid. It has a white picket fence surrounding its large lot, with the front door on Sola Street but the side gate and garage on quiet little Euclid. Walk through the gate up to the front door, and you’ll find plenty of surprises. The house was built in 1918. It’s a California cottage with the wide front porch of many craftsman bungalows and plenty of details reminiscent of that era such as built-in bookshelves, charming fireplaces, gleaming hardwood floors, and original ice-box-style shelving in the kitchen. It also offers many bonuses that have been added over the years: a large enclosed porch on the back of the house, a stairway up to a huge finished attic, and a big basement that adds two extra rooms that can be used as workshops, studios, or whatever your imagination allows. The current owners of this home have lived in the house for 50 years, so there are also many subtle touches that were lovingly added by their family: stained glass windows, a unique embellished fireplace screen, vintage wallpaper, and more.

Well, okay, maybe more than a little bit. One of her idiosyncrasies is that she won’t “go” in the yard. I suppose she would if she really had to. But she much prefers to do her business elsewhere. I humor her in this regard. We walk on the beach a lot, as any of my Instagram followers will confirm. But we also take a lot of walks around our neighborhood. We live downtown, so depending on the direction we amble, we can cruise State Street, hit Alice Keck Park gardens, or just travel in circles on the streets near our house. Maybe she’s spoiled, but there are worse hobbies for both of us than walking around the neighborhood. That’s how I discovered Euclid Avenue, a quiet, hidden one-block street between Victoria and Sola, tucked behind the Westside Community Center, off Cas-

ter Gothic Revival–style cottage of shiplap construction with an asymmetrical design is one of only two residences in the Santa Barbara area using this architectural style. Located a few steps from City Hall and De la Guerra Plaza, this property has undergone few changes in its 129-year history. The Carpenter Victorian Gothic style in the United States was popularized from 1860 to 1890 by the unbound use of artistic details in which the builder and craftsman were given freedom to challenge the status quo by experimenting with various design motifs. To do so, they used foot-powered and handcranked jigsaws, which became available in the United States during the construction boom of the 1800s, powered by the abundance of North American timber. The new tools sparked an architectural renaissance of sorts that combined the simplicity of farmhouse-style architecture with decorative scroll trim work. These “new” architectural elements included pointed arches, pitched roofs, steep gables, wall dormers, tracery, and mass-produced wood moldings. For many Americans, what had previously been viewed as traditional farmhouse style was now updated with more freedom and imagination in which the barriers to entry had now become accessible and affordable for the everyday artisan-craftsman. The property’s more established architectural motif is found in the decorative scrollwork in and around the triangular pediment above the front porch. Additional areas of ornamentation include the Gothic trim along the bargeboard of the gabled roofline, which provides additional harmony in maintaining the home’s Victorian flavor. Between 1915 and 1978, the property changed hands at least nine times. It’s been on and off the market a few times since 2013, most recently listed for sale in March 2015 for $1.3 million.
