Power of Art The

As Joan Davidson walks through the galleries of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, she sees many familiar paintings.

“I have an emotional attachment to some of the works in the Museum because they were donated by my parents,” says Davidson, who serves as co-chair of the Campaign for SBMA. “I grew up with them sitting over my shoulder at a desk or over my bed or in the living room and there they are on the wall here now.“ For Davidson, the campaign represents an important new chapter in the life of the Museum. “The facility is in great need of repair and at the end of the campaign, more gallery space and community space will be available for everyone in the region,” she says.

We are asking those who believe in the power of art to invest in our renovation and expansion efforts. You can go to campaign.sbma.net to make a gift and learn about the campaign.

SAY THEIR NAMES: A gathering for Alton Sterling and Philando Castile drew 150 community members to a “holistic healing space” at the Anacapa Street courthouse.

LAW & DISORDER

The county’s Criminal Grand Jury on 7/8 indicted 17 alleged members of the MS-13 gang in Santa Maria on charges that include first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Two separate indictments accuse men and women ages 18-32 of 57 felonies committed from January 2013March 2016. Fifteen of the defendants were named in Operation Matador, a federal and local investigation into Santa Maria homicides; they are in custody pending their 7/22 arraignments.

Twenty men were arrested on 7/7 and 7/8 for attempting to solicit prostitution at a Goleta hotel. After placing an advertisement at a popular escort site, Sheriff’s personnel, police, and prosecutors collaborated on the two-day sting for two weeks. Arrestees included the CEO of Santa Barbara Essential Foods, a few college-aged students, and a number of people over 50 years old. All but three were from the Santa Barbara area.

Activists and Law Enforcement Officials Speak of Three Tragedies

A

by L é N a G a r c i a

s the nation watched in horror the July 7 tragedy in Dallas, reactions poured in from Santa Barbara activists and law enforcement officials, who found themselves reeling from two police killings of African-American men earlier in the week.

Alton Sterling was the first to go. Early on July 5, outside the Triple S convenience store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Sterling, 37, was shot to death when police responded to a report of a “black man with a red shirt selling music CDs,” who had reportedly threatened the caller with a gun, reported the New York Times. At least two cell-phone videos taken by bystanders depict two officers pinning Sterling to the ground, where he was shot six times — twice in the chest.

The next evening, 32-year-old Philando Castile was stopped for a broken taillight by two police officers in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota. His girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, livestreamed his death to Facebook in a 10-minute video in which she says Castile informed police he was licensed to carry before they asked him for his ID card. When he reached for his ID, she said, he was shot four times.

The shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota brought the death toll of African Americans at the hands of law enforcement officials to 136 this year, according to a project by the Guardian. That number has since climbed to 144 as of press time.

Then, on Thursday, July 7, five Dallas police officers were killed when Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, fired on them with a rifle at the end of a peaceful demonstration to protest police killings of black men. In the ensuing exchange

of fire, seven officers and two civilians were injured. Johnson, an African-American man and a United States military veteran who had reportedly been planning the attack for some time, was killed hours later with a bomb carried by a robot after a standoff with police in a downtown parking garage.

Santa Barbara’s interim Police Chief John Crombach, whose department’s flag flew at half-staff on July 8, as did government offices’ across the country on President Barack Obama’s orders, called the Dallas shootings “unprecedented” in his 37-year career. “This is actually an ambush and open civil warfare on law enforcement in a major U.S. city.” The cities of Dallas, Baton Rouge, and St. Paul, he said, “have a big hole to dig out of,” an effort he believes begins with officers — when they interact with civilians—“taking the time to explain to people what [they are] doing and why.”

In an email to The Santa Barbara Independent, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown dent said, “Let’s not lose sight of the fact that every day there are, literally, millions of encounters between American law enforcement officers and members of the public. If the media, and we as a society, choose to focus disproportionately on the tiny fraction of times when things go bad, we lose sight of the overwhelming majority of times when the police get it right — and when lives, property, and our way of life are protected.”

With the statement “standing up to police abuse does not mean you are anti-police,” the youth-oriented activist group PODER (People Organized for the Defense and Equal Rights of S.B. Youth) spread the word via Facebook for a Sunday vigil to “[d]emand that Santa Barbara Police commit to protecting Black and Brown lives.” (The group

declined to comment on the incidents, citing insufficient time.) Organized by community leader Jordan Killebrew, SBCC’s Black Student Union President Chiany Dri, UCLA law student Dyne Suh, and UCSB sociology graduate student Zachary King, the peaceful gathering drew 150 people to a “holistic healing space” at the arch the Anacapa Street courthouse, said Killebrew.

Community members on Sunday held black-and-white pictures of black men, women, and children killed by law enforcement officials, which they placed—after each name was spoken—between paper-cup candles at the center of the group. The event, said Killebrew, in which attendees also spoke the names of the slain police officers, conveyed the following message: “We will stand up for justice, and we will protect our people.”

The day before, area activist Lizzie Rodriguez, Killebrew, and Dri had met with Santa Barbara City Mayor Helene Schneider, City Councilmember Cathy Murillo, city police Captain Bill Marazita, and Lieutenant Marylinda Arroyo to address racially biased policing in Santa Barbara County.

At a Tuesday City Council meeting, Rodriguez, Murillo, and Cheif Crombach said they are keeping open lines of communication, which incoming police chief Lori Luhnow reportedly intends to maintain. During public comment, a handful of community members — among them representatives of the Coalition Against Gun Violence (CAGV) and Just Communities—expressed support for “racial-ethnic disparity training” for city police officers.

Keith Terry, executive director of YStrive for Youth, Inc., said in an interview the “atcont’d page 10 

Kyle Richards (pictured), an Old Town Goleta resident for eight years and a commissioner and chair of Goleta’s Parks and Recreation Commission for three, announced his candidacy for Goleta City Council on 7/11. With a crowd of more than 30 supporters behind him on the steps of the Goleta Valley Community Center, Richards stood next to Margaret Connell, Goleta’s first mayor, who kicked off the announcement ceremony with a personal endorsement.

school district logo schmogo During their July 12 meeting, all five members of Santa Barbara Unified School District’s Board of Education took turns politely criticizing the district’s new logo, its accompanying communication plan, the manner in which they coevolved, and the price tag attached to the effort. “I think the process was atrocious,” said Boardmember Ed Heron, “and Old Logo it’s already cost us $50,000.” With that, boardmembers expressly slammed the financial brakes on any forthcoming logo applications — letterhead, apparel, equipment branding, etc. — as Boardmember Monique Limón added, “I might go so far as to say stop using this new logo now.”

Boardmembers also expressed frustration that they New Logo hadn’t been able to review the image — a multicolored shield with a new font for the existing motto, “Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day” — before it was rolled out on June 28. And besides, they added, paying Simon Dixon’s Idea Engineering marketing firm $5,250 to create a new logo wasn’t mentioned as the district originally conceptualized its communication plan as a tool to better connect with the community. The plan itself in document form was not attached to the meeting agenda, and Dixon was not in attendance. “There’s a lot of good in [the plan],” said board president Pedro Paz. “But we need to take it in the direction we intended.”

The irony of a communication plan coming to life under such disconnect wasn’t wasted on newly hired Superintendent Cary Matsuoka, who was on his second day on the job and attending his very first board meeting. “The idea of a communication plan is much more than an image, a logo,” he said. “What I’m hearing is, ‘Who are the unreached audiences [in the community], the ones we’re not reaching because we’re not on the right channel or speaking the right language?’”

Matsuoka added that there seemed to be “no alignment from the board down to a staff member.” Heading up the effort for staff is Todd Ryckman, the district’s chief edu— Keith Hamm cational technology officer. “We’ll make the changes,” Ryckman said.

Dead and Dry Trees Force Campground Closures

till-standing dead environment and dying trees in and around Figueroa Mountain camping and recreation areas have forced closures in Los Padres National Forest. The temporary shutdown includes the Pino Alto and Cumbre day-use areas, Lookout Road (also referenced as Forest Service Road 8N16), and all 33 sites at Figueroa Campground.

A dead tree that fell on an unoccupied Figueroa campsite on July 6 prompted Forest Service officials at the Santa Lucia Ranger District to close the area until the hazardous trees —killed by five years of record-setting drought and a bark beetle infestation —can be removed. At Figueroa campground alone, Forest Service personnel have counted more than 120 dead trees “within striking distance of a campsite,” said Ranger Nathan Rezeau. “I don’t like closing campgrounds, but it’s just not safe to let people in right now.” He added that there have been no injuries or property damage from falling trees.

Rezeau had no estimate as to when the area would reopen.

For the past 16 years, Omar Belazi drew in customers by selling some of the cheapest gas on the South Coast from his independently owned American Fuel service station on De la Vina Street. But Belazi kept them coming back by dispensing advice, banter, good cheer, and more than BOWING OUT WITH A BASH: After 16 years, Omar Belazi occasionally a song — all is hanging up his gas pumps at American Fuel, holding a for free. This idiosyncratic farewell party this Sunday afternoon. oasis, however, is coming to an end as of July 23, when Belazi’s lease expires. To say both good-bye and thank you, Belazi is hosting a farewell bash — live band included — for himself and customers this Sunday afternoon. “It’s not so much the store and the money I’m upset about,” said Belazi, “It’s that I’m going to lose a lot of friends.”

Mark Wells, owner of Suds and Duds on the Westside has been an American Fuel regular the past seven years. He and Belazi talk kids, business, family, life, and, of course, basketball. Belazi, Wells said, predicted the Cleveland Cavaliers would come back to beat the Warriors for the NBA championship even though they were down three games to one. Of Wells, Belazi said, “When he came here, he was grumpy and mad. I say, ‘What’s up?’ Now when he leaves, he leaves with a smile on his face.” Sandra Tollefson started showing up about four years ago to buy cigarettes. Belazi, she said, has talked her down to just two smokes a day. She added Belazi — who was born in Libya — sings to her in his native language and reads her passages of the Koran in English. “It’s not like any other station,” she said. “Or any other place.”

Belazi, now in his late fifties, grew up in Tripoli, where he began working at age 6 in his grandfather’s supermarket. He moved to Santa Barbara 40 years ago and got a degree in electrical computer engineering, a field he emphatically decided not to pursue. In the 1980s, he owned a gas station where American Fuel now stands, sold it, and began working for RadioShack, where he distinguished himself as one of the chain’s most productive managers. He also led a successful class-action lawsuit, alleging store managers were grossly overworked and underpaid. They settled in 2002 for nearly $30 million and benefited 1,300 RadioShack managers statewide.

Many years later, Belazi was back in business pumping gas on De la Vina Street, operating a garage, and selling snacks, drinks, and packs of cigarettes. Relations between Belazi and his landlord were cordial and constructive for a long time. What happened after that, Belazi said he doesn’t want to talk about. A new gas station will be sprouting up when Belazi vacates the premises. What Belazi will do next he doesn’t know.

“One chapter of my life is closed,” he said, “and another will open up.” — Nick Welsh

Doubling Down on ‘Dirty merf’

Dallas reactions cont’d from p. 8

Jor dan anthony Ki lleb r ew

With gusto, the county supervisors approved Tuesday the final environmental review of the Tajiguas Resource Recovery Project, the $122 million high-tech project to extend the life of the coastal dump by 10 years to 2036. The project — presented more than 140 times in over a decade — would separate recyclables and compostable items from the trash, and capture methane gas to create electricity. Known as the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and the Anaerobic Digestion Facility, the project would recover 60 percent of garbage in the dump.

But environmentalists, generally balking at development on the Gaviota Coast, have long called for county officials to examine alternatives to the Santa Barbara County–owned project. “It’s our request that today you hit the pause button,” said attorney Marc Chytilo, noting he supports the ultimate goal of reducing landfill dependence and cutting greenhouse-gas emissions. He and his staff argued the environmental review failed to examine alternatives to the MRF — aka the “dirty merf” — and merely gave alternate locations. In addition, Chytilo said, it is unknown whether anaerobic digestion — which breaks down organic matter into soil — will yield quality compost that could actually be sold. Moreover, the price of “recycling is tanking,” which is worrisome because it would drive up costs of the “tipping fee,” he said, giving taxpayers the bill.

The project is expected to increase such fees to $105 per ton from $84 per ton.

Though the project was once intended to be privately financed, a public financing model, involving a number of area cities, was proposed last year after tipping fees came in higher than expected. MSB Investors LLC — formerly Mustang Renewable Power Ventures LLC — was selected for the project.

The county supervisors all expressed confidence in the environmental findings presented Tuesday. “This is something just for the public’s benefit,” said Supervisor Steve Lavagnino. After the hearing, Chytilo said he has no current litigation plans, but that cities will hold hearings on the proposed dump this fall so “it’s not over.”

Reverend Dr. David Moore, Jr., lead pastor at State Street’s New Covenant Worship Center, wrote on Facebook the night of the Dallas shootings: “My heart is breaking. My 29-year-old son just texted me, ‘Is there a war between police and blacks?’ Then I remembered: when he was four years old he walked in to see me watching Rodney King being beaten.

He asked, ‘Daddy, are they going to do that to you?’ I thought my kids would inherit a better world.”

Moore said in an interview,“Society needs the police as an institution, but we need them to be humane. We respect their badge; we want them to always respect their own badge.” He added, “Blue Lives Matter,” and that it’s important to keep in mind “it was the protesters who pointed out the location n of the shooter.”

Chumash Expansion Bill Moves Ahead

W

by K e L S e y B r u G G e r

ith an action sure to strain an already bitter relationship between Chumash leaders and Santa Barbara County officials, the House Committee on Natural Resources on Wednesday moved forward a federal bill that would allow the tribe to immediately annex Camp 4. Camp 4 is a 1,400-acre land the tribe bought outside its current reservation boundaries, on which they say they want to build housing. Representative Lois Capps was the only vote against the legislation, which is sponsored by Rep. Doug LaMalfa, who represents a congressional district 400 miles from Santa Barbara.

“Why would Congress interfere with the process now?” Capps said Wednesday at a hearing in Washington, D.C. “These are issues between neighbors.”

Three years ago, Chumash leaders filed an application to annex Camp 4, which would free it from the county’s strict permitting process and remove it from property tax rolls.

If this bill, HR 1157, were passed by the House and Senate and signed by President Barack Obama by the end of the year, the Chumash could proceed with their plans immediately.

“From the tribe’s perspective, we’ve been very patient,” said tribal chair Kenneth Kahn, who took over last month after Vincent Armenta unexpectedly stepped down.

“Today is later than we hoped.” In May, Kahn told the Washington Times the tribe was “certainly working behind the scenes on this bill.”

The issue has been the subject of hostility between neighbors and tribal leaders for years. The bill’s movement this week angered opponents of reservation expansion, given that seven public meetings have occurred in the past year between county supervisors Doreen Farr and Peter Adam and the Chumash.

But Kahn argued, “HR 1157 is the only reason that Santa Barbara County sat down and negotiated with the tribe.” At a congressional hearing last year, Rep. Don Young, chair of the Subcommittee on Indian and Alaska Native Affairs, threatened to move the bill forward unless county officials negotiated with tribal leaders. Three months later, monthly meetings commenced, and initially, attempts at congeniality existed on both sides. But a sense of progress dissipated at the March meeting, and the county supervisors decided to take a summer break.

“These meetings—despite the tribe’s best efforts—appear to be a stalling tactic,” said Kevin Eastman, a spokesperson for LaMalfa.

“They are not addressing the issues in a timely fashion.”

Farr and Adam, however, said in a June 5 letter that the break was intended so attorneys on both sides could hash out pertinent legalese — and “should not be construed to be the end of formal discussions.” They urged the House committee to defer consideration of the bill.

A LIFE-CHANGING WORKOUT STRENGTH | POSTURE | FLEXIBILITY

Tribal chair Kenneth Kahn

Asked why the bill was coming back now, Eastman said, “It never left.” The bill could make it to the House floor as early as September and then “will be sent to the Senate in a fairly timely fashion,” he said.

Valley resident and realtor Mike Brady, who has been outspoken in his opposition of the Chumash annexation plan, contended 10 out of 20 of LaMalfa’s top contributors this election cycle are Indian gambling interests, according to a letter he sent to the Red Bluff Daily News.

Though many county issues defy party politics, this one does so to a striking degree.

County Supervisor Salud Carbajal, who is running for Congress as a Democrat, has consistently voted in support of tribal matters. Earlier this year, he opposed a motion to appeal the tribe’s annexation for a twoacre property known as Mooney-Escobar, and last year, Carbajal voted against sending a county official to Washington, D.C., to oppose HR 1157.

The tribe has not endorsed anyone in the congressional race, but Kahn personally gave Carbajal $3,200, according to federal finance reports. When asked for an interview about his position on HR 1157, Carbajal was unavailable Tuesday, citing the Board of Supervisors meeting. Mollie Culver, his spokesperson, said Carbajal believes “it’s important that we allow negotiations between County and the Chumash Tribe to continue without interference from Washington.”

Asked again about his specific position on HR 1157, Culver said, Carbajal “has always felt and continues to feel that these decisions should be reached working through government-to-government negotiations.” The previous vote against the county formally opposing HR 1157, she said, was prior to the current public meetings.

In an interview, Republican candidate Justin Fareed was more outspoken in his opposition to the bill, calling it a “classic example of political insiders overstepping their [bounds].“This is something that needs to be dealt with at the local level,” he said.

Fareed, who recently traveled to D.C., said he has had many discussions about this issue.

When asked whom specifically he met with, Fareed replied,“Just about anyone you could imagine.” Though the negotiations have stalled for certain parameters, he said he was “optimistic.” n

Fredric August Fucci 1926-2016

hold due to his wife’s declining health; Elda died in 1995. When he was ready to begin traveling again in 1996, Fred invited Carol Peterson to join him on his adventures.

Fred never let age or infirmity slow him down as he traveled, by cruise ship and RV, throughout the world. In February 2016, he celebrated his 90th birthday with a huge party attended by the many friends he’d made while conducting aerial surveys, managing property, working for Michael Towbes, and cruising the world.

While Fred had no children of his own, he counted among his family Elda’s and Carol’s children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He was preceded in death

by Elda (1919-1995), his stepdaughter Vicky (1994-2003) and son-in-law Norman (19442001). He is survived by Carol; her children Brian, Karen, and Gary; and grandchildren Chrystalyn, Toby, Maria, Jaedyn and David.

He is also survived by his stepdaughter Phyllis; grandchildren Norm, Steve, Ted, Tony, Tracy, and Tim; and great-grandchildren Matt, Mike, Teighlor, and TJ. He will be greatly missed. Memorial donations may be made to Direct Relief or Hospice or your favorite charity.

Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.

The dean of the School of Medicine at the University of North Dakota summed up young pre-med Greg’s personality well in 1942 when he wrote to the Navy stating he “… has a good personality, and is very modest and unassuming but not timid.

He gets along well with others. So far as we know and believe he is straightforward and reliable and is the kind physically, intellectually and morally that should be thought of as officer material.” Accurate words, indeed.

He is survived by his four children: Monica Dahlen, Gregory Dahlen III, Lisa Dahlen, and Annika Dahlen; by his granddaughter Rebecca Reid (James); and by his great-granddaughter Sonja Reid. He was preceded in death by his wife Virginia Dahlen, his brother Graydon Dahlen, his sister Carolyn Olson and his companion of 20 years, Nan Burns.

A private funeral has been held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Santa Barbara Symphony or the lovely people of Santa Barbara Hospice.

Dr. Gregory Dahlen Jr. 07/23/19-01/14/16

Fredric August Fucci was born February 28, 1926, in Brooklyn, New York, to Federico Fucci and Edythe Anderson. He died June 26, 2016, at his home in Goleta, where he lived with Carol Peterson. A memorial service will be held July 18, 11:30 a.m., at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Santa Barbara (Truls Nelson and Russ Gordon officiating); a reception will follow at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. His ashes will be scattered at sea, per his request.

Fred attended Brooklyn Technical High School, specializing in engineering, and spent his summers working at a Boy Scout camp, where he eventually became an Eagle Scout and Scoutmaster to 40 children. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy after graduation, hoping to become a pilot, but was stationed with other duties in Florida for 2 years. He was finally able to realize his dream when Mark Hurd Aerial Photography of Santa Barbara put him to work in 1948 as a photonavigator mapping the United States.

In 1952, Fred married Elda Anna Heyden, daughter of Erdman Heyden and Leona Lamb, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

In 1954, Hycon Aerial Surveys offered him the opportunity to do some high altitude flying in South and Central America, so the family packed their bags and spent the next 3 years living in Chile, Peru, and Ecuador.

Returning to Santa Barbara in 1968, he began purchasing and building duplexes near the beach and university in Isla Vista, beginning a new career in property management. He took college classes to learn the building trade and went to work for Michael Towbes Construction. In 1970 he purchased a home in one of their developments, and then built a vacation cabin in Lake Nacimiento’s Laguna Vista Boat Club.

Fred retired from Towbes Construction in 1992, but vacation plans had to be put on 14

William Cress Alexander 10/20/20-06/30/16 Doctor Gregory Dahlen Jr. died of natural causes on January 14, 2016, in Santa Barbara, CA, at the age of 96, surrounded by his family.

Greg was born on July 23, 1919, in St. Paul, MN, to Gregory and Edna Dahlen. He excelled in school, both academically and athletically, and served as president of his high school class in Bismark, North Dakota.

After graduating from University of North Dakota, Greg enrolled at the Bowman Grey School of Medicine, Wake Forest University.

Upon graduation he joined the Navy, where he completed his surgical internship at Norfolk Naval Hospital. He then served as the medical officer on the USS Mattaponi on a tour in the Pacific theater during and immediately after the Second World War. During his time in the Navy, Greg met surgical nurse Virginia Lee Wethern – it was love at first sight, and they were married in 1949. They began their married life together in San Francisco, CA, while Greg completed his urology residency at Stanford. In 1957 the family moved to Santa Barbara, and Greg joined the practice of Sansum Clinic. Greg began his own practice shortly thereafter in 1959. He was well respected and loved in the community, always making sure that no patient was denied treatment for lack of the ability to pay.

After Greg’s retirement, he traveled the world extensively, visiting all seven continents. He was an active member in the art community, served on the board of the Santa Barbara Symphony, and also donated 2,000 hours of his time to the organization

professional business life. After Bill joined the firm of Lionel Mayell Enterprises, a firm pioneering the concept of cooperatively owned apartments, Bill and Betty moved with their children, Jeffrey, Dana, and Nancy, to Santa Barbara, where he built his first condominium project in 1953. Bill’s work for Mayell was so successful that he soon went into business for himself as president of William Alexander and Associates. His award-winning projects in Santa Barbara include Villa Capri Aire (State and Padre,) Villa Constance (State and Constance), Villa Miradero (Alamar Street), and his crowning achievement, Coronado Circle on Eucalyptus Hill in Montecito.

Bill was committed to architectural design that respected the site and integrated structures that were site specific. He designed around existing trees and boulders, often importing them as the landscape required. On the Eucalyptus Hill project, for instance, he built 10 fewer homes than the 44 permitted on the 20 acre property and planted 300 oak trees. This care for the environment, and ultimately the community, earned him many local and national citations, including the prestigious Santa Barbara Beautiful Award.

Bill had a well-deserved reputation for honesty, generosity, creativity, and amazing energy. His commitment to the Santa Barbara community and its institutions is abundantly evident in his years of service and dedication, having donated thousands of hours of his time throughout the years.

He was very involved in Christian Business Men all his life, serving on the International Board of Directors.

He served on the boards of the Samarkand Retirement Community (where he was a founder and board chair for 17 years) Santa Barbara Community College, Westmont College, Valle Verde Retirement community, the Rescue Mission, Channel City Club, Santa Barbara Club, Memorial Rehabilitation Foundation, Las Positas Park, and the long range planning committee of the Santa Barbara Foundation. His memberships included the Board of Realtors, University Club, The Santa Barbara Club, the Montecito Country Club, and the Birnam Wood Golf Club.

He was a lifelong member of the Rotary Club where he was given the Paul Harris Fellow Award in honor of his service to the organization, and in 1999 was honored by the Santa Barbara News-Press with a Lifetime Achievement Award. He was a founder of the Santa Barbara Community Prayer Breakfast, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Bill’s church affiliations were fundamental to his life, actively supporting Calvary Baptist Church, Montecito Covenant (as a founding member) and El Montecito Presbyterian Church, where he valued the pastoral care of Rev. Harold Bussell. He and Betty provided generous donations to the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, United Way, El Montecito Presbyterian Church, and The Stony Brook School, to name a few.

In addition to his impressive lifelong accomplishments and generous service, Bill Alexander will be remembered and missed as a true lover of the Lord, his family, beauty, travel, music, and education. With his wife, Betty, he helped create a household environment that celebrated healthy food, art, music (particularly classical), and a love of learning: gifts his children will always

cherish.

Bill’s last years were spent in complete contentment due to the tender, loving and excellent care at Valle Verde and Villa Alamar. The family will be forever grateful to these residential care facilities as well as to Assisted Hospice of Santa Barbara.

Preceded in death by his wife, Betty, William is survived by his son Jeffrey (wife Teri) of Versailles, KY, his son Dana (wife Dorothy) of Santa Barbara, and his daughter Nancy (husband Arthur, deceased) Simpson of Ventura. He has 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held in the Theatre at Valle Verde Retirement Community, 900 Calle de Los Amigos, on July 30, 2016, at 3pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission.

Marjorie Fuller 1932-2016

Marjorie Fuller went to be with our Lord May 20, 2016. She was 84. She had two sons Durwin (Paula) and Douglas (Debbie), one " adopted" son Michael and one daughter Rebecca (Fred). Marjorie was blessed with 5 grandchildren. She was married to Delbert, her most precious love.

They met at an Odd Fellow's dance. Dance was a love they shared throughout their marriage. One time driving along rural 15, they heard a great tango. They pulled over and danced the tango on the side of the 15.

She loved her husband, children, grandchildren, extended family and the Lord. The Eucharist was a very important part of her life. Marjorie was a devoted Catholic. She enjoyed art, painting and drawing. Every time family gathered, she would have us draw in her "book of drawings." Marjorie loved her hats and always wore one when out. She had many friends and enjoyed her gatherings with them. She belonged to the "Golden Girls," "Daughters of Charity" and a group through her friend's church. Marjorie was very kind and giving. She always put others' needs first. Her concern for others needs was deep. Wherever she went, she left a wonderful impression on everyone she met. The Mass of Christian Burial will be Saturday, July 16, at 9:30 am. It will be at San Roque Catholic Church, 3200 Calle Cedro (off of San Roque Rd), Santa Barbara, CA.

angry poodle barbecue

NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE: As coincidence would have it, I happened to be in Austin, Texas, last week as yet another human

hand grenade decided it was time to pull his own pin and start picking off as many white cops as he could. The sniper — a militarytrained vet — began firing into the thick cluster of cops assigned to contain a Black Lives Matter rally, then winding down in Dallas.

Before the shooter was suicide-droned into his next reincarnation, five officers would be killed and nine more people wounded. In the days that followed, law enforcement officers would be targeted for ambush in places such as Bristol, Tennessee, Ballwin, Missouri, and Valdosta, Georgia. For all the talk of unity and healing, we keep on killing. Last year, police officers throughout the United States shot and killed 990 people. Last year, 26 cops died from terminal lead poisoning administered by hostile parties. The numbers this year — even in the glare of nonstop media attention — continue to surge.

While in Austin, we visited Voodoo Doughnut, a gaudy, gimmicky place that sells glazed crullers carpet bombed with enough sugar-encrusted Fruit Loops to put a room of 30 8-year-olds into hypoglycemic shock. No Austin cops were present. They were otherwise preoccupied, keeping armies of out-oftown recreational drunks from the potential predations of homegrown street drunks for whom the magical municipal mantra of

Dog Is My Autopilot

“keeping Austin weird” lost its sparkle long ago. Most striking in the moment were the large number and large size of signs obliterating the doughnut shop’s front window: No one carrying a concealed firearm — or openly carrying one — would be allowed to enter.

Austin, it turns out, happens to be the birthplace of the mass-shooter phenomenon, and these signs have something to do with that. On August 1, it will have been 50 years since Charles Whitman rode the University of Texas elevator all 27 stories to the top of the Tower and for 90 deliberate minutes sprayed the surrounding area with hot lead. By the time Whitman was killed, he’d shot 49 people, 16 fatally. The Texas legislature celebrated this anniversary last year by passing a law allowing concealed weapons to be carried into college classrooms and public buildings. It passed another allowing citizens to openly carry any firearm, including AR-15s. Fifty years ago, open-carry advocates contend, armed Austin citizens helped police pin Whitman down in the Tower, thus minimizing the carnage he could inflict. Even among Whitman’s survivors, this interpretation remains the subject of fierce debate.

Three University of Texas professors — two teach English, the other sociology — sued, charging they should have the option of maintaining gun-free classrooms. State Attorney General Ken Paxton made it clear he will smite them down. Government agencies that post the no-gun signs I saw at Voo-

New Rule The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the freedom of expression. Yet, there are limits - defamation and endangering public welfare is not allowed. You cannot call a person a criminal unless he or she is. You cannot yell “Fire” in a crowded theater.

Obscenity, child pornography, and “fighting words” are also denied. Commercial speech is given a lower standard of protection. Free speech is not unfettered.

The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. Whether this applies to an individual right or a collective right of a militia is the debate.

Either way, there is no right to unfettered use and possession of any arm, any where, and at any time.

To possess a car, or other vehicle of transportation for individual or commercial use, is a constitutional right.

To drive the vehicle is not a right, but a privilege granted by the state after a test of competency of rules of the road and demonstration of driving skills. Limits and requirements demand adequate brakes, lights, and other safety proscriptions.

One must pass various tests for various licenses - bus, truck, and motorcycle.

To possess a gun for personal or professional use is a right. To use the weapon should not be a right, but a privilege granted by the state after a test of mental and physical competency. One must pass various tests for various categories - pistols, rifles, shotguns, or other

doo Doughnut will face fines up to $10,500 a day, he threatened. That’s true for zoos, he said, and it’s doubly true for several city halls around the state — Austin’s included — where concern about angry wing nuts is hardly hypothetical.

The open-carry crowd has embraced NRA Guru Wayne LaPierre’s formulation that the “only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” infamously hatched in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre. It’s well worth noting that as many as 30 individuals attended the Dallas Black Lives Matter rally wearing gas masks, camo pants, and bulletproof vests and armed with military-style assault rifles, including a handful of AR-15s.

The question must be asked; did they help?

The answer is emphatically not. Like everyone there, they scattered in panic. At the time, police believed there were multiple shooters.

Many cops worried the open-carry protestors were accomplices in the carnage. Three were detained. One was arrested. In hindsight, their presence contributed only chaos and confusion. When afterward it was argued open-carry laws should not apply to protests, Dallas’s Open-Carry Czar C.J. Grisham retorted his 14-year-old daughter could tell the difference between good guys with guns and bad guys. “If you can’t ID a threat, you shouldn’t be wearing a uniform,” he spat.

In the current context, it should be clear to everyone cops need to reexamine when and how they use force — and the threat of force —

categories that may arise.

Your ancestor’s flintlock over the fireplace that is never used, like a treasured relic car in the back yard, needs no permit.

As cars cannot carry extraneous material, such as a mast of a sailboat, wheels with stick out gouging spear heads, balloons trailing into the sky, and some cars are banned from the roadways, such as stock cars, dragsters, and Formula V racing cars, so guns with extraneous material, such as excessive magazines and rapid fire and reload capacity and some with proven public destruction be banned as well from the highways of commerce, banned altogether from public use, such as assault weapons.

As a car is mandated to carry insurance, so the New Rule is - guns, too. As the car you use must carry insurance, so must independent.com

to maintain what’s clearly a most precarious peace. The “good” news according to recent studies, if you can call it that, is that people of color are not more likely to be killed by cops than are whites. The bad news, however, is that they are far more likely to be stopped, frisked, searched, and detained. They’re also more likely to be on the receiving end of nonlethal police force. The people who cops kill tend to be carrying concealed weapons, tend to run away, and tend to be mentally ill.

The bad news is that cops — as a rule — don’t kill white people until they’ve crossed the ultimate shoot-me line and pulled a weapon. Blacks, on the other hand, are killed for far less threatening behavior. Although black males makes up only 6 percent of the population, they make up 40 percent of the unarmed population killed by cops. You do the math. Some cops, it needs to be said, show ridiculous restraint. I know one who confronted a deranged old man — furious he couldn’t collect insurance on the house he’d torched — pointing a .44 handgun at him. Somehow, he just knew the man’s gun — a cannon — couldn’t fire. Had it been, there would have been one dead old arsonist. Some cops — such as Santa Barbara Sheriff Bill Brown — insist only an infinitesimal percentage of cop-citizen interactions lead to deadly conclusions. That’s true. But when only 11 cops have been convicted of felonious charges in the past 10 years for wrongful deaths — and only 65 charged — it’s also beside the point.

Meanwhile, next time I visit a doughnut shop in Austin, I’ll be ready to duck and cover.

the gun you use.

Since the public, the voters, have been ineffective in exerting their majority opinion on the Congress, let the insurance companies enter into a contest with the gun folks. Two titans of influence at odds with each other where there was none before. The gun lobby will continue to advocate no limits.

The insurance industry would advocate for limits to limit their liability. Both are deep pocket contributors whose lobby influence is present and heard at the Congress.

The public assassinations that occur regularly in our country by mentally incompetent people violates the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

No corpse knows why it died.

For further information on this celebration, email RicksCelebrationofLife@gmail.com or call (805)729-6124.

A Memorial Service will also be held on Wednesday, July 27, at 5:30 pm at Congregation B'nai B'rith at 1000 San Antonio Road.

Beatrice “Mamala” Antenore 04/02/24-07/05/16 Our beloved husband, father, and friend passed away in June. Rick lived a long, full life enriched by his taste for adventure, curiosity, and love of learning.

Born in New York City in 1934, he spent his earliest years in New England, attending Fessenden School and Taft School. At age fourteen, he began traveling back and forth to Reykjavik, Iceland, staying in a Quonset hut with his mother and her new husband during school holidays — the first of many adventures. A few years later he left school to join the Navy, his choice of service reflecting a lifelong love of the ocean and sailing. That interest became the center of his life in his early twenties, when he moved to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands to work around sailing boats. An encounter with an expatriate New Zealander, Bill Mangan, led to Rick’s most fondly remembered adventure. Together, the two men sailed a 21-foot, homemade sailboat named Takiau-Tahi through the Panama Canal to New Zealand.

In the late 1950s, California became Rick’s home. He remained there for the rest of his life, although he continued to love travel. After a brief stint as a telephone lineman, he used his newly acquired college degrees from UCLA and UCSB to become a teacher. First at San Marcos High School and then at La Cuesta continuation school, he taught a wide range of subjects from English and history to life sciences and math. He held a particular fondness for students he described as “survivors”— children from difficult family circumstances who found a way to make meaningful, productive lives for themselves. He also earned a series of pilot’s licenses in his spare time, eventually taking a leave from teaching to become the Chief Flight Instructor at Apollo Aviation in Goleta.

Throughout his adult life, Rick pursued a wide range of passions ranging from the outdoor to the spiritual. His interest in mountaineering led to membership in the Las Padres Search and Rescue team as well as climbs and hikes in the Sierra, Cascades, Himalayas, and mountains of Alaska. He twice rode a bicycle most of the length of the West Coast. In his fifties, he converted to Judaism, ending a long search for a spiritual home. Characteristically, he learned Hebrew so that he could read the texts of his new faith in the original language. He will also be remembered for his fondness for books, sense of humor, and willingness to help others.

Survivors include his wife of 36 years, Susan Maxey Mohun, and two daughters from a previous marriage, Arwen and Rowena Mohun. In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Visiting Nurses & Hospice, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, or Santa Barbara Audubon.

Born April 2, 1924, in New York, New York, she proudly attended Music and Arts High School. She died July 5, 2016, in Long Beach, CA, her home for over 60 years from where she traveled to Santa Barbara regularly to be with family and friends.

Bea survived the love of her life, Demmy, her husband of almost sixty years who passed in 1998, and her daughter-inlaw, Marjorie, who passed in 2002. Mamala is survived by her sons, Dennis and Jim (Fran) & daughter Angela (Ben), grandsons Jeff (fiancé Emily), Jonathan (Hava) & Rob (Nora) and great-grandsons, Leo & Luca.

An avid community volunteer, she spoke truth to power, stood up with and for diverse communities and helped provide a voice to the underserved. Bea was a passionate advocate for children and was proud of her successful fight in Long Beach to reestablish crossing guards citywide after the program fell victim to budget cuts. Her community service included chairing the anti-poverty program of the Long Beach Office of Economic Opportunity, serving as chair of the City of Long Beach Parks & Recreation Commission, chair of the oversight committee for the City’s Strategic Plan for Older Adults, and a PTA District President. A dedicated leader in the League of Women Voters, she moderated many voter forums and stayed educated and informed about local, state, national and international issues. Her motivation and goals included encouraging people to vote and to participate in the community.

Mamala’s enduring focus on family and community never wavered, as evidenced by these words to her family hours before she died: “Just remember wherever you go and whomever you meet, everyone has a story to tell. Listen to what they have to say.”

Regarding family/relationships, she said, “Be patient, be loving and have a sense of humor. You are all different. Be close to one another.”

In lieu of flowers, please vote! If you wish to make a donation in her name, the family suggests either of these organizations that Bea loved: Long Beach Community College Foundation - the Senior Studies Lifetime Learning Program or League of Women Voters. Services will be private.

Death of Innocents

F

irst, let me just say that my heart goes out to all the loved ones of innocents who are killed by law enforcement, as well as the loved ones of law enforcement who are killed.

In the past, it has been painful enough to know about the deaths of innocents by law enforcement without seeing the videos. Had I not heard it discussed on NPR that a young woman had posted a livestream aftermath of a shooting while remaining composed, I would not have viewed that video either. I now have several questions about the handling of the situation.

I have no idea what transpired before the man was shot, but the video was 10 minutes long and yet there were no paramedics on the scene. Is it normal for medical attention to take so long to arrive when a suspect has been shot? Is it normal to shoot someone seated in a car? If so, even if the man had a gun, are four shots within normal limits to protect the officer?

Am I naive to assume that shooting a man once at such close range would prevent him from doing grave harm to the officer?

I have heard that police officers would rather be judged by 12 than carried by six, but in how many cases have officers been murdered or attacked by people in a car with a small child in the back seat? Do officers have no other options, such as pepper spray, clubs, or Tasers, if they are fearful for their lives? — Simone Byers, S.B.

1791 vs. 2016

regulated militia being necessary to the “A well security of a free State, the right of the people

to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” What were “arms” or “weapons” in 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified? A single-shot musket, rifle, or pistol; a bomb, a canon, a sword, a knife, an ax, a spear, a club, a crossbow, a bow and arrow, and farm implements?

Did our forefathers’ “Right to Bear Arms” intend to give citizens the right to mass kill and injure with semiautomatic rifles and pistols with multiple-shot capabilities? What kind of arms do citizens really need?

As stated in the Second Amendment, is not being a member of a “well regulated militia” a precondition of the right of a citizen to possess and bear arms? In present times, are not a citizen-authorized city, county, or state police force, National Guard, and our federal Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard considered to be well-regulated free-state protection? Do the thinking and needs of citizens in 1791 really correspond to 2016?

As to self-defense and hunting, how much killing power is needed? The time has come to consider the consequences and unintended consequences of the right of citizens to bear arms, as well as intelligent limiting regulations in respect thereto. The unconscionable gun deaths and injuries cannot go on—2015: 13,286 killed and 26,879 injured; 2016: so far, 6,949 killed and 14,322 injured. What price our people?

mer star entertainment industry columnist, has welcomed another Hollywood icon, David Geffen, to support Barrett’s longtime dream of a Santa Ynez Valley affordable housing center for low-income seniors.

The David Geffen Foundation, created by the record producer and film studio executive, is joining valley residents David Crosby and his wife, Jan Dance, in support for Barrett’s community-based Golden Inn & Village, which she terms the valley’s first of its kind.

The 7.3-acre campus now nearing completion is located on the southeast corner of Refugio Road and Highway 246. It’s across the street from the YMCA, which offers senior programs, and diagonally from Santa Ynez Valley High School and a public transportation stop.

The Golden Inn & Village will include 60 apartments, community rooms, and

AFFORDABLES: Rona Barrett’s Golden Inn & Village in Santa Ynez Valley nears completion.

other facilities in partnership with the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara and Surf Development.

Located nearby are a grocery store, restaurants, and other community facilities.

The Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital is a little more than a mile away.

The $45 million project includes a planned Phase II that will provide assisted living, memory care, and adult day care — “a place where seniors will never have to move from again as they age in place,” Barrett said.

It’s “a big step forward in making Hollywood and other billion-dollar foundations aware of the need for greater support to solve a nationwide crisis in how we house and care for the very population that helped build this country,” said Barrett, who for 20 years since retiring to the valley has been a strong advocate for seniors.

BeaSt S

ummer reading, traditionally associated with lighter fare and school assignments, has grown up in recent years. Once the preserve of blockbuster novels like Jaws or The Bonfire of the Vanities, publisher’s spring and summer lists now often spawn unexpected best sellers such as Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century, 700 pages of erudite economic analysis that flew off the shelves from Memorial Day to Labor Day in 2014. Despite this appetite for seriousness in a significant segment of the audience, it’s likely that most summer readers still look for the literary equivalent of a holiday when selecting something for the summer— summer a book that will give them a break from more routine concerns and take them to places they haven’t been before.

In an effort to capture some of the wildest new books on offer in the summer of 2016, what follows charts the rise of an interesting new form of radical nature writing in which authors document their attempts to become more like animals, or, as the popular meme has it, enter into “beast mode.”

Two major new nonfiction releases, GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human (Princeton Architectural Press)

by Thomas Thwaites and Being a Beast (Profile Books) by Charles Foster, both involve what Foster in his subtitle calls “Adventures Across the Species Divide.” They offer detailed accounts of a variety of experiments designed to allow the authors a kind of privileged access to what it is like to be an animal.

Apart from a fascination with what’s on the other side of the species divide and a dedication to using real science to seek answers, the two books and their authors’ approaches to the task could hardly be more different. Foster is a Fellow of Green Templeton College, University of Oxford, and a qualiquali fied veterinarian with a doctorate in law and medical ethics from Cambridge. He’s also a married father of six and the author of previous books on biology, law, philosophy, travel, and spiritual experience. For the past several decades, Foster and his family have been participating in a variety of schemes he has invented to simulate the experience of being such animals as a badger, a red deer, a fox, an otter, and even a swift.

By contrast, Thwaites comes to his GoatMan project from the world of design, and in particular from his own relatively short history as an expert on sustainability and technology.

Foster, or at least his persona as a writer, knows a lot about

nearly everything. He’s as comfortable with tracing etymologies to Old Irish as he is citing the latest research from such journals as Applied Animal Behaviour Science, and he writes like a dream. Thwaites, on the other hand, plays his youthful naiveté for laughs, offering half a dozen stories about how shocked some expert or other was by his frequently abrupt and seemingly absurd inquiries. Yet once he’s gotten a cloven hoof in the door, Thwaites proves to be a remarkably persistent researcher, and most of the people who scoff at him in the beginning end up becoming part of his team.

by Charles Donelan Perhaps most importantly, the two writers idealize the animal states they seek in fundamentally different ways. For Foster, being a beast is in many ways better than being a human because animals, or at least the ones that interest him, tend to perceive more and differently than humans do. Foster relishes the keen sensitivity that acting like a badger or a fox brings to his sense of smell, and delights in the uncanny feeling of slipping silently down the course of a night-darkened river like an otter. Animal senses, according to Foster, are typically both more and less acute than human ones, and many of the best

passages in Being a Beast describe his painstaking attempts to reconnect with the world using his nose, his ears, and the surface of his skin more than his eyes and his hands. Thwaites, on the other hand, approaches the problem of becoming a goat as a designer would, and relishes the challenges of invention and physical effort that his GoatMan project presents. Yet all this is not to say that there aren’t some major overlaps in areas of concern. With food in particular, both men grapple with the dilemmas posed by the differences between human digestion and that of animals.

In GoatMan, the designer and author offers an account of his latest project, which was to create and occupy an exoskeletal apparatus that would allow him to pass as a goat— goat not among people, who would be quick to spot the prosthetic limbs and crash helmet, but rather among goats, who would presumably judge him by other criteria, such as “Does he eat grass?” Thwaites has a track record of success with awkward and ridiculous projects that are nevertheless informative and thought-provoking. In his Toaster Project Project, he built a working kitchen appliance from scratch by smelting iron ore in a microwave among other DIY moves. His TED talk about the toaster project is funny and fascinating and has received more than 1.2 million views.

Thwaites’s GoatMan project began with the urge to take “a Holiday from Being Human,” as his subtitle has it, but the process turned out to involve something considerably more challenging than even the most ambitious vacation. After his initial proposal to become an elephant and cross the Alps was accepted by the Wellcome Trust’s Medical Humanities and Engagement Grants division, a trip to South Africa and a short safari convinced him that, primarily due to issues of scale, a human-powered artificial elephant would not be possible. Returning to Western Europe, he sought the aid of Annette, a Danish shaman, who laughed at him for wanting to be an elephant, but who nevertheless took his desire to become an animal seriously— seriously seriously enough to suggest that his best choice would be to become a goat.

The book, which is richly illustrated with dramatic color photos, is mostly concerned with the various veterinarians, ethologists, biological scientists, and prosthesis designers who Thwaites convinces to help him pursue the scheme.

Readers of GoatMan learn a lot about comparative anatomy, the biochemistry of ruminative digestion, the mechanics

of prosthetic limbs, and even current research into using high levels of magnetism to induce temporary loss of language functions in the human brain. They will also laugh out loud repeatedly as Thwaites arrives at one institution or another to make some request that those in authority find equal parts alarming and absurd. Because his vision of what constitutes success in this endeavor includes the ability to eat grass, something human stomachs cannot do, Thwaites becomes involved in some quite risky activities requiring the use of experimental compounds for breaking down cellulose into digestible sugars. He’s on the verge of this when Wellcome finds out about it and threatens to pull the plug on his grant.

In a thoroughly satisfying climax to the mounting pressure of the GoatMan project, Thwaites arrives in Switzerland and ascends the Alps to don his GoatMan prostheses and suit alongside a herd of actual goats.

After a harrowing early-morning trip down the steep side of a mountain, Thwaites manages to join the herd. That night, he cooks up a batch of the grass that he’s been ripping out of the ground with his teeth and cooks up a disgusting but edible stew.

The next day, while grazing alongside his now fellow creatures, he finds that he has a female goat companion, and she is the one who helps him overcome a moment of terror after he inadvertently takes a dominant position on high ground in relation to the alpha males of the group.

I spoke with Thwaites by phone from his home in London last week, and he filled me in on some of the context for his GoatMan escapade.

TO BUILD A BETTER BEAST: This early proto“Part of the fun for type was one of several unsuccessful attempts me,” he said,“was in to create a maneuverable exoskeleton. the way that I got to know so many dif different versions of what a goat was, and what nature was, from talking to different types of experts. From that point of view, Annette (the shaman) was really interesting, because she made it so clear to me that what you learn determines what you see in the world around you.” It seems there are different goats for different folks.

Asked what, beyond wanting a vacation from being human, motivated him to do this, Thwaites revealed another layer of meaning to the project by saying that “actually, because I spend so much time in my career as a designer and a consultant thinking about the future, I had become dissatisfied with this clichéd version of where we are headed as a species, which is supposedly into some kind of virtual reality, touch-screen paradise. I’m not sure that’s how the Anthropocene is going to play out. In a way, the point of the project was to contradict that idea that we are all going to become these plugged-in digital cyborgs. I wanted to show an alternative to that, one that recognizes a fact that came up over and over as I met with all these scientists and doctors, which is that the high-tech future will not be evenly distributed.”

Responses to the project thus far have been largely positive according to Thwaites, although there have been some who

Megg, a witch, and Mogg, a cat and her “familiar,” through a series of drugged-out episodes that typically cause their roommate Owl to experience some kind of painful humiliation.

Owl’s not exactly wise, although he is the voice of reason in this toxic little world, and that, as one learns over the course of these clever deadpan adventures, is not a good thing to be.

Hanselmann’s feeling for the mindless cruelty that so often accompanies a hard-partying lifestyle is uncanny, and when their weed-dealing single-dad buddy Werewolf Jones arrives, watch out, because, well, “he’s an animal.” Let’s leave it at that. As Werewolf Jones likes to say,“I do n what I can.”

ist’s Guide to the Santa Barbara Region

(Heyday Press, in collaboration with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History). What was once a reference book now looks like a catalog of potential identities — what will it be, dolphin or mountain lion? This charming and beautifully illustrated volume tackles the taxonomy of our region ecosystem by ecosystem, building along the way a powerful understanding of how climate, weather, and geology determine the flora and fauna with which we share our coastal homes. Pick up a copy—it it will make you a better citizen, or a better goat, if that’s your thing.

Even if you’re not interested in going the whole way with species invasion, summer is a great time to get in touch with your primate roots by climbing a few trees. In The Tree Climber’s Guide: Adventures in the Urban Canopy (HarperCollins), author Jack Cooke http:// www.letterheadfonts.com/ and illustrator Jennifer Pitchers document several hundred of the trees that Cooke has climbed in London, where he lives.

From Wormwood Scrubs to the St. Paul’s Cathedral Churchyard, Cooke has shimmied and scrambled and clung his way up a bewildering variety of trees, and he uses the perspectives thus gained to deliver a refreshingly unconventional vision of one of the world’s most written-about cities. Along the way he makes a strong case for the life aloft and offers plenty of tips on how to top out without cracking your noggin.

Ed from Chaucer’s probably knows more about current books than anyone in Santa Barbara, and his top summer reading pick happens to involve horses, even though none of the humans in The Sport of Kings by C.E. Morgan (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) would appear to harbor fantasies of becoming the race

horses they tend to and breed. Ed was particularly impressed by the way Morgan handled the legacy of slavery in this sprawling American epic set amid Kentucky bluegrass.

Another book that Ed recommended highly was Lab Girl (Knopf), a memoir by biological scientist Hope Jahren. In a compelling mixture of personal narrative and behind-the-scenes, “science confidential” insight, Jahren displays admirable determi determination in a world still dominated by men and an equally intense passion for her chosen subject of study, which is trees. That’s right, Jack Cooke, we’ve got another tree hugger here.

For sheer beast-mode lunacy, Ed says the craziest book in the store may well be Crap Taxidermy by Kat Su (Ten Speed Press). With images taken from the popular (and disturbing!) website crappy taxidermy.com, this picture book challenges the mind and the stomach with a wild selection of stuffed animals that no one would want to cuddle, much less become. It’s among the most perused books on Chaucer’s shelves, says Ed, but not as many people leave the store with a copy.

While we have been contemplating the consequences of humans invading the animal kingdom in disguise, animals have been breaching our species walls through their traditional point of entry, the comic strip. Mice (Mickey), dogs (Snoopy), and cats (Garfield) have all picked up human traits by way of the pen, and lately they’ve been joined by a new generation of anthropomorphic characters. For a walk on the wild side of contemporary comics, nothing compares to what Simon Hanselmann offers with his series Megg, Mogg and Owl. These brilliant and utterly depraved strips are not for the kids. The latest, Megg

s

question the validity of his receiving funding from a health organization for what looks to them like performance art. Other than that, and what Thwaites called “the usual general Internet scorn,” most of the messages GoatMan has received have been fan letters, or else invitations from people with goats askask ing if GoatMan wants to suit up again and come join their herds. Will Thwaites be taking up any of these offers?

Although he’s not entirely sure at this point, I thought I heard the beginnings of a “yes” in the fact that he has “already remade the back legs,” and believes there are “several ways to make the suit work better.”

One of the unexpected benefits of reading these two highly entertaining books back to back is that I now have a new way of reading another recent favorite, Joan Easton Lentz’s A Natural Natural-

QUESTION: I can’t take time off to take out my wisdom teeth.

ANSWER: With our modern techniques, you do not have to be incapacitated after having your wisdom teeth removed. Most of our patients just take off a day or two and then they are back to their regular routine. We recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise for the first few days, stick to a soft diet and be gentle to your mouth to help speed your recovery.

In our office, we also offer: • Complete wisdom tooth surgery under IV sedation, ensuring you remain completely relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure. The best part-you will not remember the surgery!

• PRF therapy in which we use your own white blood cells, platelets and proteins to jump start the healing process and prevent dry sockets without any additives.

If you do not have room for your wisdom teeth, they can lead to infections, damage other teeth and are nearly impossible to keep clean. We would be happy to see you for a consultation to discuss your options!

Kardboard KayaKers Compete

I

Last Saturday, 28 teams paired creative engineering with sheer bravery to compete in the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum’s annual Kardboard Kayak Race. “We’ve done this four years in a row now and have won first and second place before,” said Brad Penkala while he and his son, William, carefully crafted their vessel (right). Using only two sheets of cardboard, a yardstick, a roll of duct tape, and a utility knife, teams had to create a seaworthy craft in one hour, which they then raced to a buoy. The winners of each heat got a trophy and, of course, glory.

hildren and families will get to spend some quality time in the great outdoors on Saturday, July 16, at the Neal Taylor Nature Center’s Free Kids’ Fishing Workshop up at Cachuma Lake. From 8:30 a.m.12:30 p.m., experienced fishers will be teaching children, youth, and their parents different fishing techniques, such as fly-fishing, how to figure out when and where the fish will bite, what bait they’ll take, and so on. The event is free, although it costs $10 per vehicle for parking.

“The biggest part of the workshop is appreciation for what we have here,” explained Julie McDonald, the nature center’s executive director. “The expert fishermen and women have to understand the different kinds of fish in the lake. It’s important to understand the wildlife at Cachuma.”

If you’re 16 or older and planning to come back and fish at the lake, you must have a fishing license, but one is not required for this event. Parents may

stay and listen or return at the end of the workshop.

It will be hosted on the lawn by the lake, and all of the necessary equipment will be provided. All you really need to bring is a hat, water bottle, sunscreen, and a healthy appetite for learning. Happy fishing!

n 2008, Allan Langdale starred in and directed a documentary called The Stones of Famagusta, about a “forgotten” city on the island of Cyprus, and next week he’ll be speaking in Santa Barbara about Petra, the ancient city carved out of a desert mountain in Jordan. The two don’t have much in common, admitted Langdale, “except for the fact they’re fascinating places and not often visited by Americans.” It’s one sign of what he sees as an unfortunate trend of Americans “contracting the extent of their travels” due to concerns over international terrorism.

But Langdale hasn’t slowed his explorations. Upon completing his PhD at UCSB in 1996, he became one of those twenty-somethings who “bought a backpack and a one-way ticket to Europe.” He lived in Cyprus for two years, has been to Petra three times, and today, as a travel writer and educator, enjoys an itinerant life, rife with yearlong travel. In August, Langdale heads to Turkey (the subject of his next book, In a Land of Empires), where he’ll join an expedition ship on the Black Sea. With a mailing address in Santa Ynez and belongings stored in Goleta, Langdale Allan Langdale considers Santa Barbara his home base; he also lectures during the winter session at UCSB as an adjunct professor.

Why’s he attracted to such far-flung destinations? Growing up in Vancouver, British Columbia, Langdale loved leafing through the pages of National Geographic as a kid. “I was just fascinated by ruins of ancient cities,” said Langdale, who has since contributed to the magazine himself. “It was something that I continued having interest in.”

Rock-cut architecture has always fascinated him. “The best rockcut architecture in the world is in India,” said Langdale of the caves in Ajanta and Ellora. “But Petra is a close second, a sculpted city where buildings were carved rather than constructed.”

No one knows exactly how many people lived in Petra— Petra some say 25,000 — but the city was a bustling stop “on the silk and spice route,” said Langdale, so frankincense and pepper passed through there.

Another interesting topic he will discuss is the ancient hydrological systems that the residents used to preserve water in the desert.“It’s quite germane to our present situation,” said Langdale of the aqueducts that he says are both simple and impressive for “a civilization that flourished over 2,000 years ago.”

Of his lecture, Langdale promised, “It’s not an academic thing; it’s a travelogue.” He’ll also be showing images that he snapped with his Nikon D7100, and he wants to make the presentation experiential for attendees. “If no one is going to go there, I least I can take them there in a lecture,” he said.

— Michael Aushenker Allan Langdale’s lecture Petra: The Ancient Stone City will be Thursday, July 21, at 7 p.m. at the Architectural Foundation of S.B. (229 E. Victoria St.). Suggested donation is $10. See afsb.org. independent.com

Conquers Condor trail

T

hough Brittany Nielsen wasn’t the first to challenge the chaparral-choked terrain that composes much of the Condor Trail — a 411-mile-long route from Lake Piru in Ventura County to Bottcher’s Gap near Big Sur in Monterey County— County the petite hiker was the first to ever thru-hike it all, reaching the end on June 18, 2015, after 37 days. To do so, she endured numerous hardships that had turned back others, including badly blistered feet, bear scares, and impossibly overgrown trails.

When Los Padres Forest Association (LPFA) executive director Bryan Conant first picked her up at the train station in Santa Barbara, he was skeptical that she’d make it very far. “She stepped off in an outfit more suitable for exploring State Street than challenging some of the most difficult parts of our backcountry,” remembered Conant, who’s championed this trail through the Los Padres National Forest for years. “She had on a little skirt and a lightweight top. I was thinking, ‘Where’s your armor?’ and wondering if she really knew what she was getting into.”

With the help of an indomitable spirit and support from LPFA members who dropped off needed supplies along the way, Nielsen fought through the occasional urge to quit, even once begging Conant to come take her back to the train station. “There were times when it didn’t seem like there was any reason for her to continue on,” said Conant, “but she had the grit to keep pushing on.”

Nielsen will talk about her Condor Trail trek on Thursday, July 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the Santa Barbara Veterans Memorial Building (112 W. Cabrillo Blvd.). The talk is free for LPFA members and $10 for guests, and it includes happy half hours both before and after the talk. See lpforest.org. lpforest.org — Ray Ford

Kids bowl Free at Zodo’s

Z

odo’s Bowling & Beyond is partnering with the Kids Bowl Free (KBF) Summer Bowling Program for the fourth year in a row to offer children younger than 17 years of age two free games a day, every day from 8:30 a.m.4:30 p.m., until September 4. The KBF program, which parents must sign up for via the website kidsbowlfree.com, gives kids a chance to get a little exercise, learn the game, and socialize in a stimulating environment. In 2014 alone, Zodo’s gave away more than 16,000 games to 6,000 kids, making it one of the top 10 bowling alleys for KBF in the nation.

“I had a dad and two kids come in the other day with their own shoes, and it didn’t cost a dime for about an hour and a half of bowling. They had a great time,” said Zodo’s General Manager Steve Davis, who also enjoys a slight revenue boost from the program, including more birthday parties, but said that’s minimal.“Kids Bowl Free Program gives us a chance to work on building additional foot traffic in the off-season,” he said. “And it just reminds people that Zodo’s is a great place.”

Davis also just finished training employees on a brand-new scoring system that allows the customer to completely individualize their experience. BES X gives bowlers a chance to interact with a hundred different options for cartoons and animations as well as games

and scoring capabilities.

In addition to the free bowling, Zodo’s nominates every elementary school in the area for the Bowling to Schools’ grant, which gives away a total of $50,000 among 50 selected schools. A few years ago, Isla Vista Elementary won $1,000 as a result of the nomination. “We do a lot of school bowling,” said Davis. “We donate bowling to several different schools for events like jog-a-thons and raffles and things, and we’re always happy to help.”

— Tricia Paulson Kids younger than 17 years old can bowl up to two games per day free from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. until September 4 at Zodo’s Bowling & Beyond (5925 Calle Real, Goleta). Call 967-0128 or see zodos.com and kidsbowlfree.com

oniraCom Launches lagoon l distriCt

S

taging an innovative livefeed backdrop for Jack Johnson’s concerts, creating a visual showcase of the Goodland Hotel’s hip and breezy rooms, showcasing Lilac Patisserie’s gluten-free delights — all of these digital designs were hatched from an East Haley Street building with a colorfully coated interior and a stylish elephant logo.

This is Oniracom, the ever-growing marketing, content-creation, and web design firm that, for 15 years, has been working alongside the artistic development of major homegrown artists, businesses, projects, and dream realizations.

Now, with a spearheading role in creating the Lagoon District, a branding initiative for the blossoming neighborhood between Anacapa, Milpas, Montecito, and Cota streets, they are poised to shape the future face of downtown Santa Barbara, as well.

Cofounder and CEO Jacob Tell launched Oniracom with friend and CTO Sean Campos while he was still a student at UCSB in 2001. With no social media or smartphones to speak of at the time, websites were a new and growing means for artists to promote their work. When a then-lesser-known singer and UCSB grad named Jack Johnson needed a website for his debut album, Oniracom stepped in.

“Our aesthetic is modern organic. We love authentic brands and storytelling,” said Tell, adding that the hometown-proud company strives to “integrate our breezy beach vibes to our interactions.”

Santa Barbara clients have included real estate company Live S.B., Playback Recording Studio, Duo Catering, and Santa Barbara Bar, plus nonprofits such as Heal

the Ocean, the Foodbank, and Braille Institute. Bigger national names on the Oniracom roster are Goldenvoice’s Desert Trip festival, David Lynch’s Festival of Disruption, comedian Craig Shoemaker, and Bishop Lamont. But one of Oniracom’s more exciting selfpowered projects is Storywall, a social-media-fueled audience-engagement platform to connect artists, businesses, and organizers directly with fans and, more importantly, fans-to-be. The S.B. Bowl and Earth Day Festival have both used the technology with success.

Most recently, Oniracom launched the Lagoon District initiative as a branding revitalization effort intended to bring “energy, commerce, and recognition” to the neighborhood of arts organizations, tech companies, wineries, and breweries that are uptown of the Funk Zone. With such aesthetic aims, the neighborhood could very well see a cultural revolution of its own.“We feel honored to be a part of the Santa Barbara community and love giving back to the positive teams and companies in town,” said Tell.

The Wide Lens of

I

World-Schooling

’m spending the week with three charming gentlemen who regale me with tales of their epic world travels. They describe the sheep on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, the vegetarian sharks in Belize, the sugar in Costa Rica, and the beaches in Cannes.

From grown men, it might be braggy, but because these are my nephews—a 14-year-old and twin 10-year-olds—it’s sort of astonishing.

They’re bopping around the globe with their parents full-time and gleaning their education from the sights, cultures, and adventures they encounter. It’s called world-schooling, and it’s a thing now (see the 12,000 members of the We Are Worldschoolers Facebook group).

Three years ago, my brother-in-law Rich and his wife, Jen, were your average Bay Area homeowners. He worked long hours as a tech company director, she was PTA secretary at the kids’ elementary school, and the family had frequent homework battles. On a vacation in Hawai‘i, the kids became jazzed about sea life and the Polynesian culture — and it sparked an idea.

“We’d never seen them so excited about what they were learning in school,” said Jen. “We thought, wouldn’t it be amazing if we could travel all the time and let them learn from life experiences that piqued their curiosity rather than be bored in classrooms?”

Then Rich’s company was acquired, and he was laid off —with six months’ severance.

It was now or never. They rented out their house, researched secular homeschooling options for the road, put all of their belongings in storage, and hit the trails, meandering across Europe and staying in houses they rented on VRBO from Ireland to Austria to Monaco to Malta. The kids did online school a couple of hours a day between visby Starshine iting forts, museums, castles, caves, and stone circles.

“They were a lot more receptive to learning because they were really excited about email: starshine@roshell.com the places we were going,” Jen says.

There were misadventures, of course. They got lost a lot. Like nocell-service, no-GPS, beg-a-roadside-innkeeper-for-directions lost.

They started with 10 suitcases but began leaving them behind when they couldn’t fit them in their tiny rental cars, and ultimately the five of them whittled their possessions down to a scant few necessities.

They fell so in love with their new lifestyle that they decided to stay on the road indefinitely, selling their house and car and giving away most of their things in storage back home. Rich got a job working remotely and now can work anywhere there’s Wi-Fi. That includes Mérida, Mexico, where they visited Mayan pyramids.

“The workers made their own tools, but the conquistadors came and brought disease,” Miles, 10, tells me before advising me never to chew fresh coffee beans in Costa Rica. “They taste horrible.”

He and his twin, Aidan, started a blog to document the 72 types of ice cream and gelato they’ve sampled all over the world, from Rome, Italy, to Charlotte, South Carolina.

Over the last year, the family has driven 6,000 miles through 36 of the United States from California to Florida, up to Maine and down to Illinois. They don’t know where they’re headed next — but it won’t be back to Manhattan, if Aidan has his way.

“It was too dirty,” he says, “and people bumped into us and didn’t say sorry or excuse me.”

Though Jen says traveling together has made the family closer than ever, they do miss their friends (and pets!) back home. And their grandfather misses them terribly. “Our families were together since the kids were born and then—cold turkey,” he says. “It’s been hard.”

But they’ve met new friends around the globe, including many others in the close-knit world-schooling community. The kids often Skype with pals in England and Romania.

Plus, it’s fairly easy to entice friends to come visit when you have a rental house on Cozumel, where a man comes by every morning with a churro cart.

Beats the hell out of homework battles.

To learn more about world-schooling, Jen recommends the blog raisingmiro.com. You can follow her family at ourfamilytravel adventures.com.

living | Sports BARBARA GOES BIG: Barbara Nwaba (left, training at Westmont in April) will be the top American woman in the heptathlon at the Rio Olympics this summer thanks to a first-place finish in Oregon last weekend. She’s on the podium below with Heather Miller-Koch (center) and Kendell Williams (right).

Agony and Ecstasy During Last Weekend’s U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in Oregon

C

ome hell or polluted water, the urgency to compete in the 2016 Olympic Games drove some athletes to extreme measures. At the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials last weekend, runners were throwing themselves across the finish line to finish in the top three and win a ticket to Rio de Janeiro. Many who missed out collapsed in tears. The 10-day trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, were the best show the sport has to offer.

It comes along only once every four years, the opportunity to perform on the Olympic stage. For athletes in track and field, it is a quest fraught with uncertainty. An injury or sickness at the wrong time, or a mishap in the competition, can shatter one’s dreams. By contrast, the U.S. team trials in swimming are predictable. Katie Ledecky is not going to hit a hurdle, or be boxed in, or bumped around during her races in the pool.

Some of the strongest favorites in the track trials were bounced out by misfortune. The most heartbreaking exit was

by Alysia Montaño in the women’s 800 meters. She tumbled to the track during a collision on the final turn. Brenda Martinez, also knocked out of contention by the incident, came back Sunday and dove headlong at the finish of the 1,500 final to place third by three-hundredths of a second.

It was only slightly comforting to Barbara Nwaba, the defending U.S. champion in the hep-

tathlon, that her score of 6,500 points was the best U.S. performance in the past three years. She had to achieve that level again, with no second chances, to make her first Olympic team. It was something she had been pointing for since 2012, when she finished fifth in the trials for the London Games a month after graduating from UCSB. Gaucho assistant coach Josh Priester groomed Nwaba, out of University High in Los Angeles, for the heptathlon.

He gave her and other heptathletes the opportunity to continue training by starting the nonprofit Women’s Athletic Performance Foundation. It later became the Santa Barbara Track Club (SBTC), embracing the men’s decathlon, as well, and secured the sponsorship of Abeo footwear. Workouts take place at Westmont College, where Priester is now coaching.

“I was freaking out where I was going to go [after college],” Nwaba said. “Josh Priester made this whole thing happen.”

Nwaba proved she was up to the challenge last weekend at Hayward Field. She started out by recording the 10th fastest time in the 100-meter hurdles, but that was a race she just wanted to complete safely and smoothly. A shining moment occurred in the second event, the JOhn high jump. Nwaba was one of three competitors to clear 1.84 meters (6½), but she was the only one to make the next height and then face the bar at 1.90 (62¾), higher than 7/17: Polo: USPA Maserati Silver Cup Every Sunday from now until August 28 she had ever gone before. Priester will feature agile horses and skilled ball-strikers during the high-goal season at the polo fields told her to visualize: “See it and in Carpinteria.

Defending champion Farmers & Merchants Bank includes Argentine player attempt. After the shot put and Lucas Criado, rated at eight goals (the highest rating is 10). The father-son combination of Paco 200-meter dash, Nwaba finished and Francisco de Narvaez (FMB Too!) and brothers Facundo and Geronimo Obregon (Klentner the first day on top of the scoring Ranch) were also bred in Argentina’s polo tradition.

place in the overall standings. She rebounded with a huge toss of the javelin (1614) to seize the lead for good. A solid finish in the 800 meters (2:11.71) gave the 27-year-old a victorious score of 6,494 points, just six off her best. Runnersup Heather Miller-Koch (6,423) and Kendell Williams (6,402) both scored big personal records. Williams, a 21-yearold Georgia athlete, was totally exhausted after running her fastest 800 to make the U.S. team. “My brother told me the pain would go away, but being in the Olympics will last forever,” she said.

Nwaba’s emotions poured out when she saw her mother, Blessing Nwaba, in the stands during her victory lap.

“That’s when the waterworks came down,” said Barbara, who did not anticipate her mother’s presence. “She didn’t want to distract me. She wanted me to be focused and not worry about where she was. When I saw her, I was like, ‘Oh, my goodness.’”

Lindsay Schwartz, a SBTC member from Wisconsin, had a fan club including both her parents, sister, brother, and 20 others wearing pink “Team Schwartz” shirts.“It was awesome,” said Schwartz, who set a PR of 6,036 points while finishing ninth in the heptathlon. Also representing the Santa Barbara club were Lindsay Lettow (10th, 5,960 points) and Chari Hawkins (15th, 5,720).

One competitor who made the finals and was not at all disappointed to fall short of making the U.S. team was 18-year-old Michael Norman. “It was a good experience for me. Honestly, my body’s been telling me I’m getting tired,” said Norman, the California high school champion in the 200 and 400 meters. The USC-bound sprinter placed fifth in the 200 at the Olympic trials in a time of 20.14 seconds, just behind another prep phenom, Florida-bound Noah Lyles of Virginia, who set a national record of 20.09.

Coley Candaele coached Norman at Vista Murrieta High with an eye toward assuring his success over the long term. “We didn’t come with the intention of making the [U.S.] team,” said Candaele, who was the state champion in the mile at Carpinteria High in 1990.

“We didn’t train Michael like he’s a professional athlete. My job is to develop him as a high school athlete. … Going from a young man to a man, he’ll be able to handle more. There’s plenty more to work on. I’m not going to jeopardize what’s possible later in his life.”

The honors in the 200 went to two gold-medal-winning sprinters who passed their 30th birthdays, Justin Gatlin (a blazing time of 19.75) and LaShawn Merritt, and Ameer Webb, 26, who persevered through ups and downs after winning the NCAA championship in 2013. Webb’s advice to the high schoolers: “Stay humble, and your time will come.”

Gatlin said some profound words in the spirit of the Olympic trials: “There’s been a lot going on in America the last couple days, and it’s sad that it happens around the Fourth of July when we should all be proud to be Americans. … [T]here has been so much love in the stadium the last couple days. Take that love with you, and just give it to somebody you never loved before, and just go up to them n and say, ‘I love you for being an American.’ ” JULY 14, 2016

Pacific HealtH foods Celebrates 25 Years

C

arpinteria’s Pacific Health Foods is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with exciting renovations, including a new website featuring customizable orders, a remodeled storefront, and, most exciting, the beach town’s first and only organic bak bakery. But while the market is evolving, the husband-and-wife ownership team of Nathan and Whitney Noll are keeping consistent with the family mission of advancing good health. “We really want to promote clean eating and a healthy lifestyle,”said Whitney.

Nathan’s parents, Chuck and Millie Noll, opened Pacific Health Foods in 1991 with a passion for nutrition that was inspired by their family history.

Chuck was really sick as a boy and, according to Whitney, nutrition “pretty much saved his life through natural medicine.” So Chuck and Millie founded the market to showcase regionally sourced produce, ethically raised and hormone-free meats, whole-food-based vitamins and supplements, probiotics, and cruelty-free and chemical-free household essentials.

The store has tripled in size with an organic juice and smoothie bar that also serves sandwiches, açai bowls, vegan soups made daily, salads, coffees, and teas. Stand-out smoothies include the Cinnamon Flax Monkey, a nourishing blend of coconut water, freshly ground almond butter, honey, cinnamon, banana, flax, chia milk, and gluten-free granola from Ocean Ranch Organic Granola in Goleta, and their home-brewed kombucha features fruit from the Carpinteria farmers' market. Careful ingredient selection is evident across the menu, such as in the turkey and avocado sandwich, which includes house-made sourdough, stone-ground mustard, vegenaise, lettuce, tomato, turkey, Swiss cheese, creamy Sage Hill Farm avocados, and a flavorful nut-free pesto.“It’s made with sunflower seeds, so that way anyone with nut allergies can have it,”Whitney said.

The secret weapon to all of their breads and pastries is Paul Macias, who bakes everything fresh daily. The unmistakable taste of homemade bread infuses all of his goods, including the rosemary garlic bread, which is baked in a cast-iron pot to maintain moisture. “It’s how bread is supposed to be,” said Whitney.

All baked goods are organic, except for the fluffy gluten-free blueberry scone and gluten-free paleo bread. The quality food speaks for itself, but Whitney explains that Nathan’s personality truly sets the store apart. “He really does care about helping people,”she said, noting her husband’s vitamin knowledge, insightful advice, and desire to listen to the community about products they want in the store.

“We really try to find staff that is living a healthy lifestyle so they can contribute to providing for the community,”Whitney said.

Dish she digs: For the health-conscious, try the fish fillet with crispy bean sauce. Made with ground-up soybeans, pan-fried garlic, green onion, and ginger, the dish is popular with regulars (and doctors alike).

Another top seller is their spicy beef, fish, or tofu hot pot, served with napa cabbage, chili oil, garlic, and ginger. Tired of tofu? For vegetarians, the restaurant offers a wide selection of meat alternatives, cooked with the same level of attention to flavor.

The scoop: Because all of her chefs come from mainland China and Taiwan, the food represents the truest flavors of Chinese cuisine, including her special non-translated Chinese menu, featuring home-country staples such as sliced pork belly sautéed with spicy chili, salted duck, pigs’ feet, and fresh steamed whole fish.

estaurateur Larry Mindel and Chef Peter McNee will be opening Convivo restaurant and bar on Monday, July 18, at the newly remodeled Santa Barbara Inn, 901 East Cabrillo Boulevard. Convivo (the name means “to come together”) is the root word for the Latin term for “feast.” Unlike previous restaurants at this location, Convivo occupies the bottom floor and includes a large outdoor patio.

McNee described his style of food for Convivo as “Nomad Italian” with influences from Morocco, Portugal, Spain, and a little bit of France.

“The foundation—our soul—is Italian, but our destination is Santa Barbara, and the menu draws from different styles and traditions along the way,” said McNee, whose menu will feature cicchetti (small plates served in bite-sized portions), shareable antipasti, house-made pasta, wood-fired pizza, and Santa Barbara’s bounty of seafood and meats roasted over a wood fire.

Many dishes are served family style, and everything can be shared.“Great meals are ones shared with friends and family,” said McNee, who is especially excited about the spit-roasted chicken rubbed with harissa chermoula.“Conviviality is a central theme of the restaurant and the seasonally changing menu.” Convivo is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hours are 7-10 a.m., 11:30 a.m.2:30 p.m., and 5-10 p.m. Brunch is available on weekends from 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Call 845-6789 or visit convivorestaurant.com.

Sip This Panther Creek Pinot Noir 2014: This Willamette Valley winery doesn’t lack for history: Founded by Oregon legend Ken Wright in 1986, more recently it was bought by Bacchus Capital Management — the same firm that invested in Qupé in 2011 — and they installed Tony Rynders from Domaine Serene as consulting winemaker.

What that means in the bottle is well-tended fruit, plus some serious barrel-aging in 47 percent new oak — so a wine more fruitforward and bigger than your typical Oregon pinot. Yet it still has that earthiness you might expect from Willamette Valley and a lot of bass notes for a pinot. It’s a bit young, so let that bottle breathe, or hide it in your cellar for a few rewarding years.

ciplines. The films were judged by dancer and teacher Julie McLeod, who is an original West Side Story cast member, and filmmaker Daryl Henry, writer of the TV series Emergency!

Fittingly, Holley chose a setting that’s as creative and inspired as the pieces projected therein. With its open-air, freely collaborative spirit of flow and modular architecture,

Jermy Light

anta Barbara, it is well known, has a bit of a bohemian heartbeat. Beyond the balm of beaches and balustrades, there’s always been a healthy appreciation here for the thought-provoking, the complex, the offbeat, and the unusual. For those who ride those counterculture currents or admire them from afar, the S.B. Fine Arts Film Festival has returned with an eye’s feast of films on multiple art disciplines.

From powerfully wordless movement pieces to new illuminations on historic subjects to perspectiveshifting assortments of visual gestures and halfminute bursts of abstract beauty, the works of this festival are guaranteed to pique curiosities and spark imaginations.

This year’s festival, back The Funk Zone after being staged in Venice Beach last year, will take place at the S.B. Center for Art, Science and Technology (SBCAST) on its first two nights and at the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara on the third. The festival was curated by writer and resident SBCAST curator Lynn M. Holley, who said she conceived the festival as a film lover’s festival.“It’s a combination of education, reflecting, and enjoying,” she said of the roster.

Whereas other film festivals of note, like Sundance, have become corporatized and popularized to the point of being indistinguishable from theme parks, or focus solely on the celebrity statuses at hand, the S.B. Fine Arts Film Festival focuses its lens on the most filmic and artistic of qualities, Holley said. From 70 submissions sent from all over the world, Holley curated a schedule of 28 independent films covering the topics of visual art, dance, and experimental dis-

the SBCAST grounds will make for a perfect venue for the first two nights of festivities, to be held outdoors in the residence’s courtyard. Unbounded by stuffy rules and dynamically receptive, the space, said Holley, is “the ultimate cool” for a film festival.

“It’s something you can’t experience at the Arlington Theatre,” she said.

The remaining films will be shown on Sunday afternoon in the intimate, enclosed setting of the Bronfman Family Jewish Community Center (JCC), another artistic hub of downtown S.B., with its gallery currently exhibiting abstract works. The JCC will host one of the standout films of the whole festival, Kantor’s Circle, a documentary on the underground theater and arts youth in Kraków, Poland, under the occupation of the Nazis. Codirector Adrianna Ksiąźek will be present to introduce her work. Holley says

the piece sheds new light on an under-told story of arts thriving during the oppressive occupation.

Other films of note include September Sketch Book, composed of 5,400 individually drawn frames, a refreshing reminder of visual arts in a pre-digital world; Molat & Molat, a dance film about San Francisco Ballet principal dancer Pascal Molat, narrated by his 5-year-old son; and Catherine Bennett’s short piece The Funk Zone, featuring dancer Lisa Beck. “I like films that can say everything with little to no narrative,” Holley said.

On Saturday afternoon, the festival will host The Art of the Trailer, a panel discussion on Trailer movie trailers. “Some trailers offer you exactly what you expect to see; others are so off the point you don’t know why they bothered to bother you.

We need to explore the purpose of a trailer; there are different reasons,” Holley said in a statement.

With so many film festivals now mechanized by profit margins and celebrity swarming, the S.B. Fine Arts Film Festival will offer a chance to expect the unexpected and explore the purpose of festivals, as well as films, and those who make them. It will be a very eye-opening event.

The S.B. Fine Arts Film Festival plays at SBCAST (513 Garden St.) Friday, July 15, 9-11 p.m., and Saturday, July 16, 8:45-11 p.m., with a panel discussion on Saturday from 12:30-2 p.m., and on Sunday, July 17, at the Jewish Federation of Greater S.B. (524 Chapala St.) noon-3:45 p.m. Tickets cost $20$80. Call 450-3799 or see fineartsfilmfestival santabarbara.org for more information.

Blink-182

Still Brazy

California

YG’s second full-length Still Brazy (lyrics replace Cs with Bs to show allegiance to Bloods over Crips) exists very much in the moment, and that moment is immersed in L.A. gang culture. “I got trust issues!” says the 26-year-old rapper and assassination-attempt survivor on “Who Shot Me?” as he unloads paranoid thoughts about the incident.

“Bool, Balm and Bollected” bounces like a remake of Tupac/Snoop Dogg’s gangsta-swagga classic “America’s Most Wanted.” Alongside Latino rapper Sad Boy, YG urges street solidarity on “Blacks & Browns,” while his impressive speed-rhyming enlivens the muscular title track and “I Got a Question” (featuring ubiquitous Lil Wayne spitting the bridge). As anthems “FDT” (“Fuck Donald Trump”) and “Police Get Away wit Murder” underscore, YG is more defiant and anti-authority than ever.

—Michael Aushenker

Much has happened to pop punk since its late-1990s/ early-aughts heyday: Green Day went Broadway, The Offspring probably went and had some… Blink-182 and Sum 41 imploded amid personal issues. In Blink’s case, the trio lost coconspirator Tom DeLonge, who just wasn’t feeling it. So Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker now rage with newcomer Matt Skiba to mixed results.

Despite its expansive title, California covers narrow terrain. Like past Blink efforts, the record balances serious sentiments with immature interludes (i.e., jokey, fleeting “Built This Pool”). “Bored to Death” launches with sonic chemtrails and fierce Barker percussion before reaching its Blink-typical, cascading chorus (“Life is too short to last long”). Infectious “Rabbit Hole” and crunchy “San Diego” kill, while “No Future,” not as Sex Pistols as its title suggests, arrives leavened by “na-na-nas” and skeletal breakdowns that Sum 41’s harmonics could’ve executed better.

MuSic AcAdeMY live STreAMing Some nights — okay, many nights — the best seat in the house is on the sofa in your own home. Thanks to the Music Academy of the West’s intensive live streaming and archiving of the 2016 Summer Festival, there are more than two dozen chances to see and hear concerts and masterclasses without leaving the house.

Don’t feel like getting dressed and going to the Granada on Saturday, July 16, to hear the New York Philharmonic’s legendary maestro Alan Gilbert conduct Beethoven? No worries — the Music Academy has got you covered. Set up your computer screen and speakers for optimal viewing, or, even better, use your favorite console to throw the image onto your flat screen and send the music through your surroundsound system. Then make some popcorn, open a bottle, and settle in for Saturday’s concert at 7:30 p.m. on the Academy’s website, musicacademy.org.

No doubt many serious wind-instrument aficionados all over the world will be doing likewise on Wednesday, July 20, when the stream from the Music Academy’s Hahn Hall will carry an exciting flute recital featuring Mosher guest artist Emmanuel Pahud, principal flautist with the Berlin Philharmonic and a world-renowned chamber musician. In some instances, such as the hugely popular PercussionFest recital on Saturday, July 30, live streaming will be the only way to access the concert unless you are one of the lucky ticket holders to this long-sold-out event.

Daytime viewing options include 1 p.m. masterclasses in flute, clarinet, solo piano, harp, and violin. For a complete and updated version of the live-streaming schedule, which is subject to change, visit music academy.org. The Music Academy’s website and YouTube channel also feature many archived performances from past seasons, so if you want to get a feel for what the live streams are like and it’s not time for a performance, you can check those out, as well.

SenSe and SenSibility: PCPA presents Sense and Sensibility, the popular Jane Austen novel, adapted for the stage. It’s late-18th-century England, and sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are seeking suitors. Elinor, the elder, represents a generation of rationalists: She seeks a longlasting, amiable partnership. Marianne, however, disdains her sister’s practical approach to the vetting of suitors and yearns to be swept up in a romantic affair.

Despite existing in the past, Sense and Sensibility offers a relatable tale of young women endeavoring to find fitting partners for stable and satisfying marriages. Director Roger DeLaurier, who also directed Pride and Prejudice, another Jane Austen adaptation by Sense and Sensibility adapters Joseph Hanreddy and J.R. Sullivan, is attracted to Austen’s forward-thinking work. In preparation for Sense and Sensibility, DeLaurier reread all of Austen’s work to immerse himself in the period of the stories. DeLaurier points out that while Elinor’s logical personality is played as a foil to romantic-minded Marianne, Austen’s ultimate conclusion is that both traits are necessary for creating and luis escobar reflections photography studio

fostering successful partnerships.

“It’s not sense versus sensibility,” DeLaurier said, “but sense and sensibility. It has complex characters and a relatable plot. It’s about finding the person to spend the rest of your life with.”

Designed with the elegance of the Regency period, Sense and Sensibility will be at the Marian Theatre July 21-30, and then at Solvang Festival Theater August 5-21. The playing space is a simple but ornate palace of marble and parquet. Carved columns are moved throughout the set to create the various playing areas of the production. Simple and stylish, Sense and Sensibility is an example of classic literature brought to the stage with an eye for accessibility to a modern audience.

Sense and Sensibility will be at Marian Theatre in Santa Maria July 21-July 30 and then at Solvang Festival Theater August 5-12. For tickets and information, visit pcpa.org or call 922-8313.

Vanya and Sonia and MaSha and SPike: It’s impossible to ignore the magnitude of dramatist Anton Chekhov’s impact on modern theater. His ideas still echo through the theatrical landscape, and his plays are popular both in earnest reproduction and in adaptation. In the latter vein, on July 15, the Theatre Group at SBCC opens Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Christopher Durang’s contemporary play that pays homage to the essence of Chekhov’s canon in a way that’s consistent with a modern sensibility.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike brings audiences a comedy of family drama. Stepsiblings Vanya and Sonia live together in the family home off an allowance sent to them by their sister Masha, a wealthy actress. They live in predictable stasis until Masha arrives unexpectedly with her most recent young paramour, Spike, to attend a high-society party.

Audiences can certainly expect love, lust, and familial competitiveness, but Durang’s Chekhovian derivation also offers a wild, comedic air and a sincere sense of affection among the characters. Director Katie Laris said, “I don’t see this play as a black comedy … I don’t feel that it is cynical or satirical.

It has a genuinely happy and hopeful ending. Our task has been to make the characters believable, to FAMILY TIES: (from left) Leslie Ann Story, get to that happy ending in Jay Carlander, and Anne Guynn star in Vanya a credible way — through and Sonia and Masha and Spike. courageously making personal changes, by losing something they’ve been hanging onto, by taking risks.”

Laris elucidates further that Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike isn’t a parody; rather, it’s a play based in the playwright’s love of the characters and concepts in Chekhov’s work. Laris assures that the references to Chekhov’s work “will be funny for people who know the plays but won’t leave anyone feeling left out.” A modern play that salutes the classics, ultimately Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is a comedy about the clash of strong personalities and familial affection.

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is at SBCC’s Garvin Theatre July 15-30, with performances Thursday-Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., with a preview on July 14 at 7:30p.m. n

hey never expected to last this long, but three decades after their formation, Buffalo’s Goo Goo Dolls will headline the S.B. Bowl with guests Collective Soul and Tribe Society on Saturday, July 16. Since their breakout hit “Name” charted in 1995, they’ve become one of the biggest and long-standing names in alternative rock. I spoke with lead singer Johnny Rzeznik about how he and bassist Robby Takac have kept a Goo thing going for so long.

You guys have been doing this for decades. Does it feel different now than it did when you started?

Yeah, very much so. It feels like we’re doing it for ourselves more than it has in a long time.

I always sort of relate it to us listening to the mixes in the studio in L.A., saying, “Dude, we won! We won!” It didn’t matter if we sold 30 copies; we won because we persevered and we did the work, and how many guys from our generation can still do it and still do the work? It’s not that they’re not good — how come we still get the opportunity? That’s what blows my mind.

You’ve been pretty emotionally revealing on some songs, like “Broadway.” In the new one, you seem to be finding strength in admitting your vulnerabilities and moving past them… Yeah, that’s sort of the paradox, right? If you’re really gonna live, you have to be vulnerable. If you’re gonna be strong, you have to take the risk. If you don’t have the balls to take the risk, the nature of life is being vulnerable enough to touch it, to feel it, to be present for it. I wasn’t present for my own life for a long time. I wasn’t there; I wasn’t in my relationships; I wasn’t in my band; I wasn’t in my soul — I was disconnected from all of it. I would let myself live in a miserable situation forever, mostly of my own making.

I made my own misery and made the people bob mussel

Johnny RzEznik talks longevIty, sobrIety, and the Past

by Richie DeMaria

What would you credit to your longevity and endurance? I really honestly gotta think a lot of it is growing up in Buffalo and having that very sort of blue-collar work ethic that was instilled in us. You don’t quit; you never quit, you know? The only way you fail is if you quit. That has always sort of been pounded into my head.

I’m curious about your new song, “Souls in the Machine.” Can you tell me about the inspiration behind that one? I’m one of these guys who always feel like the outsider, you know? I’m always longing to be part of something, you know? And that song was definitely me going, “Hey, let me in!”And it was also sort of a comment on the music business. People tend to forget that this is a content-driven business, and the soul of this business is the people who create. Without people who create, there is no business. It really saddens me to see the creative people get shit on again, and there’s nothing new about it.

around me miserable. I created a surplus of misery, and I decided I was gonna get my shit together and clean up my house, metaphorically speaking, and then things started to click again. It’s fucking scary to be alive, and it’s scary to be a grown-up, but man, it feels really good.

How do you feel about your ’90s output and it being the main thing people remember you for? I’m okay with it. I think that was the apex of our commercial arc. That was the peak of our sort of curb, and everybody looks at the biggest commercial period and automatically thinks that was the best. We’ve never been the huge band.

We’ve never been the biggest band ever in our career, and I’m fine with that, you know? But here we are 30 years later, and we’re able to make a living, and we’re still making albums and still touring. I can count on one hand the number of bands that can still do that, and I feel incredibly blessed and lucky.

The Goo Goo Dolls play the S.B. Bowl (1122 N. Milpas St.) on Saturday, July 16, at 6:30 p.m. with Collective Soul and Tribe Society. Call 962-7411 or see sbbowl.com. independent.com

NO REGRETTES: Lydia Night (second from right) says her band is all about being true to yourself and your beliefs, no matter what others think.

Unapologetic Self

by Richie DeMaria

TRUE AND BOLD: This week, State Street will listen in on some inspiringly

bold self-declarations from three rising acts led by women: L.A.’s teen rockers The Regrettes, who play with Tacocat and Hayley and the Crushers at Velvet Jones (423 State St.) on Saturday, July 16; Cardiknox, also from L.A., who opens for Phoebe Ryan at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Wednesday, July 20; and the Good Land’s own Slanted Land, who release their eponymous EP tonight, Thursday, July 14, at SOhO with El Jefe.

Lydia Night, whose band The Regrettes are catching accolades left and right with their rocking, slightly retro tunes, said her band stands for staying true to yourself, even if it’s the unpopular thing to do.“I think that what our band is really about, and what people need to hear, is that getting to know yourself and figuring out what you’re about and what you stand for and what you like and what you don’t like is completely okay and acceptable,” she said. At 15, it’s a powerful message, when most others in her age group are struggling to fit within the confines of the status quo. “People are so scared and nervous all the time about speaking out about anything that they believe in.”

It’s a message Cardiknox echoes in its hit “Wild Child,” which has excited ears across the globe, especially since they started touring with Canadian megastar Carly Rae Jepsen. Singer Lonnie Angle said the song is about being your “boldest and truest self.”“In a culture that’s constantly telling us to be someone or look like something, when you lean up against that and lean up hard enough that you’re able to find who you really are, that’s really maybe the wildest thing to do today,” she said.

Raised on musical theater and formerly composing more operatic pieces before turning to pop music, Angle said being onstage allows her to embrace her inner wild child. “You get to do and be your boldest self, your craziest self; you can continue to push and push and push the envelope —because you’re the only person setting those boundaries,” she said.

Unfortunately, being a young woman in a rock band still has some boundaries—comments from doubters, downward-lookers, and sexists.

But Night said rock by women is on the rise for good reason: “When it comes down to it, rock music is about honesty, and it’s about speaking people’s truth, and women have a lot to say. I’m not saying that men don’t, of course, but women have had to go through their fair share of shit, and now it’s coming to the point where they can actually speak out about it.”

“We all want to hear, appreciate, and relate to the feminine side of the human experience, too, no matter what gender you are,” said Slanted Land founder Tova Morrison. “Because rock artists in the recent past were (and still are) primarily men, and the rock industry is just getting over its androcentrism, then maybe women artists today are getting an affirmative-action type of promotion to the stage, as well as stepping up their game.”

Morrison mentioned challenges — as a mother, parenting always takes priorities over rocking for Morrison, and she points to other cultures where women are still forbidden to drive as an example of cultural impositions still in place elsewhere. But in her music, Morrison exudes a sense of peaceful contentedness and acceptance, as in new song “You Do Your Thing I Do Mine.”“This song is an assurance that the pace of life as it is is good — that people in your life have their own things going on which are parallel, and equal in importance, to your thing. It’s also about bonding with people,” she said.

Ultimately, bonding is what Slanted Land’s music— and all of these shows — are all about. “I think we are traveling into a time of diversity, of loving acceptance in general, and I think the art world has been there already a long time,” Morrison said. “If a dude is ripping it up onstage or a chick is killing it in her performance — I, for one, am going to have a great n time being a witness to, and creator of, the rock.”

“A WHITE KNUCKLE THRILLER”

a&e | FILM & TV

Vice PrinciPals

- Variety

Favorite Antihero Danny McBride Returns to TV

W

hen Eastbound & Down, starring Danny McBride, arrived on HBO in 2009, the politically incorrect series filled the edgy comedy void left by Larry David’s oft-hibernating Curb Your Enthusiasm. The series ended in 2013, but Eastbound & Down’s creative team —actor/cocreator McBride, cocreator Jody Hill, and director David Gordon Green —have reunited for a new show, Vice Principals, which jumps off July 17 on HBO. While Vice Principals revolves around a fictitious high school and the incompetents who run it, Eastbound saw major league baseball player Kenny Powers (McBride) downgraded in life (thanks to his big mouth) to mere middle school PE coach, rendering Powers broke and famous. Powers is his own worst enemy, his outsized ego the source of his misery. His insatiable ambition to get back on top strains his relationships with patient love interest April (Katy Mixon), put-upon brother Dustin (John Hawkes), and even servile lackey/closeted crush Stevie Janowski (Steve Little).

Across four years, the over-the-top Eastbound managed to improve each year, pitting Powers against bizarro car dealer Ashley Schaeffer (Eastbound executive producer Will Ferrell). Season 2 saw ugly American Powers (cornrows!) endure his lost year south of the border, simultaneously sending up American arrogance and Mexican culture with mucho gusto).

There was no better kickoff than Season 3’s, when Powers goes on a mission to infiltrate Schaeffer’s compound to save a humiliated Janowski (guised as a geisha to be ogled and fondled by visiting Korean businessmen) but ends up getting trapped with Janowski and condemned to die by cannonball fire before Janowski’s overweight bride, Maria (Elizabeth De Razzo), rescues them.

Season 4 topped everything, opening with Powers struggling to start anew at a car dealership. A chance run-in with fellow athlete Guy Young (Ken Marino) leads to Powers’s salvation. Unlike Powers, Young is a picture of success. His first mistake is giving Powers a spot on his cheesy Sports Sesh talk show as Powers quickly transforms from a gig-jeopardizing, flop-sweat generator to dominating the program and masterfully

getting Young fired.

True, not everyone digs McBride, the obnoxious embodiment of the worst parts of American culture.

Yet Kenny “F*ckin’” Powers may be the most lovable racist/misogynist/homophobe since Archie Bunker.

Sure, we don’t support his antisocial sentiments, but, as with Carroll O’Connor’s bigoted All in the Family patriarch, neither does Powers. Deep down, he’s a decent guy. Although it takes him damn long to circle around his ox-headed stubbornness and do the right thing, he eventually does (in spite of himself).

Vice Principals appears pregnant with potential.

McBride and Walton Goggins play titular douchebags Neal Gamby and Lee Russell, intensely toggling in unfriendly competition for the high school’s top job. (Bonus: Bill Murray plays the pilot’s departing principal.) They shout, spit, bust furniture, and draw weapons.

Will Vice Principals top Eastbound? Dunno. I’m just happy to see the asinine, subversive, and always ridiculous McBride persona —misguided arrogance intact—back in action.

Vice Principals premieres July 17 on HBO. — Michael Aushenker

(120 mins., PG-13)

Expect a big-budget B movie. You will not be disappointed. The first Independence Day — released way back in 1996 — was ridiculously derivative and yet inexplicably enjoyable, a cult film despite mixed reviews. This movie has all the same corny beats — action, emotion, and spectacle overload — and features Santa Barbara star and former kiteboarder Maika Monroe (It Follows), who steals the show. You will not learn anything about yourself or the nature of reality. You will see a gigantic alien queen chase a busload of kids across the Salt Flats. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo (2D)

The BFG (117 mins., PG) Steven Spielberg helms this animated screen version of Roald Dahl’s beloved kids’ book. The giant is an outcast from his kind because he is kindly and refuses to eat children.

Fiesta 5 (2D)

The Infiltrator (98 mins.; R) The year is 1986, and federal agent Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston) must risk his life in a ruthless criminal underworld of drugs and money laundering.

Central Intelligence (114 mins., PG-13) Former classmates Bob Stone (Dwayne Johnson) and Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) brave shoot-outs, espionage, and betrayal on a CIA mission after reconnecting at a high school reunion.

The Innocents (115 mins.; PG-13) In this French-Polish drama about crises of faith following wartime, a Red Cross doctor (Lou de Laâge) attempts to help a group of pregnant Benedictine nuns at a convent in post-WWII Warsaw, Poland.

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): Upcoming adventures might make you more manly if you are a woman. If you are a man, the coming escapades could make you more womanly. How about if you’re trans? Odds are that you’ll become even more gender fluid. I am exaggerating a bit, of course. The transformations I’m referring to may not be visible to casual observers. They will mostly unfold in the depths of your psyche. But they won’t be merely symbolic, either. There’ll be mutations in your biochemistry that will expand your sense of your own gender. If you respond enthusiastically to these shifts, you will begin a process that could turn you into an even more complete and attractive human being than you already are.

(June 21 - July 22): If you are smoothly attuned with the cosmic rhythms and finely aligned with your unconscious wisdom, you could wake up one morning and find that a mental block has miraculously crumbled, instantly raising your intelligence. If you can find it in your proud heart to surrender to “God,” your weirdest dilemma will get at least partially solved during a magical three-hour interlude. And if you are able to forgive 50 percent of the wrongs that have been done to you in the last six years, you will no longer feel like you’re running into a strong wind, but rather you’ll feel like the beneficiary of a strong wind blowing in the same direction you’re headed.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): The latest Free Will Astrology poll shows that 33 percent of your friends, loved ones, and acquaintances approve of your grab for glory. Thirtyeight percent disapprove, 18 percent remain undecided, and 11 percent wish you would grab for even greater glory. As for me, I’m aligned with the 11 percent minority. Here’s what I say: Don’t allow your quest for shiny breakthroughs and brilliant accomplishments to be overly influenced by what people think of you.

TAURUS

(July 23 - Aug. 22): How often have you visited hell or the suburbs of hell during the last few weeks? According to my guesstimates, the time you spent there was exactly the right amount. You got the teachings you needed most, including a few tricks about how to steer clear of hell in the future. With this valuable information, you will forevermore be smarter about how to avoid unnecessary pain and irrelevant hindrances. So congratulations! I suggest you celebrate. And please use your newfound wisdom as you decline one last invitation to visit the heart of a big, hot mess.

LEO

(Apr. 20 - May 20): I’ll name six heroic tasks you will have more than enough power to accomplish in the next eight months. (1) Turning an adversary into an ally. (2) Converting a debilitating obsession into an empowering passion. (3) Transforming an obstacle into a motivator. (4) Discovering small treasures in the midst of junk and decay. (5) Using the unsolved riddles of childhood to create a living shrine to eternal youth. (6) Gathering a slew of new freedom songs, learning them by heart, and singing them regularly — especially when habitual fears rise up in you.

VIRGO

GEMINI

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): My friend Athena works as a masseuse. She says that the highest praise she can receive is drool. When her clients feel so sublimely serene that threads of spit droop out of their mouths, she knows she’s in top form. You might trigger responses akin to drool in the coming weeks, Virgo. Even if you don’t work as a massage therapist, I think it’s possible you’ll provoke rather extreme expressions of approval, longing, and curiosity. You will be at the height of your power to inspire potent feelings in those you encounter. In light of this situation, you might want to wear a small sign or button that reads, “You have my permission to drool freely.”

(May 21 - June 20): Your life has resemblances to a jigsaw puzzle that lies unassembled on a kitchen table.

Unbeknownst to you, but revealed to you by me, a few of the pieces are missing. Maybe your cat knocked them under the refrigerator, or they fell out of their storage box somewhere along the way. But this doesn’t have to be a problem. I believe you can mostly put together the puzzle without the missing fragments.

At the end, when you’re finished, you may be tempted to feel frustration that the picture’s not complete. But that would be illogical perfectionism. Ninety-seven percent success will be just fine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): You are at the pinnacle of your powers to both hurt and heal. Your turbulent yearnings could disrupt the integrity of those whose selfknowledge is shaky, even as your smoldering radiance can illuminate the darkness for those who are lost or weak. As strong and confident as I am, even I would be cautious about engaging your tricky intelligence. Your piercing perceptions and wild understandings might either undo me or vitalize me. Given these volatile conditions, I advise everyone to approach you as if you were a love bomb or a truth fire or a beauty tornado.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Here’s the deal: I will confess a dark secret from my past if you confess an equivalent secret from yours. Shall I go first? When I first got started in the business of writing horoscope columns, I contributed a sexed-up monthly edition to a porn magazine published by smut magnate Larry Flynt. What’s even more scandalous is that I enjoyed doing it. Okay. It’s your turn. Locate a compassionate listener who won’t judge you harshly, and unveil one of your subterranean mysteries. You may be surprised at how much psychic energy this will liberate. (For extra credit and emancipation, spill two or even three secrets.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): What do you want to be when you grow up, Capricorn? What? You say you are already all grown up, and my question is irrelevant? If that’s your firm belief, I will ask you to set it aside for now.

I’ll invite you to entertain the possibility that maybe

some parts of you are not in fact fully mature, that no matter how ripe you imagine yourself to be, you could become even riper — an even more gorgeous version of your best self. I will also encourage you to immerse yourself in a mood of playful fun as you respond to the following question: “How can I activate and embody an even more complete version of my soul’s code?”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): On a summer day 20 years ago, I took my 5-year-old daughter, Zoe, and her friend Max to the merry-go-round in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Zoe jumped on the elegant golden-maned lion, and Max mounted the wild blue horse. Me? I climbed aboard the humble pig. Its squat pink body didn’t seem designed for rapid movement. Its timid gaze was fixed on the floor in front of it. As the man who operated the ride came around to see if everyone was in place, he congratulated me on my bold choice. Very few riders preferred the porker, he said. Not glamorous enough.

“But I’m sure I will arrive at our destination as quickly and efficiently as everyone else,” I replied. Your immediate future, Aquarius, has symbolic resemblances to this scene.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Early on in our work together, my psychotherapist confessed that she only works with clients whose problems are interesting to her. In part, her motivations are selfish: Her goal is to enjoy her work. But her motivations are also altruistic. She feels she’s not likely to be of service to anyone with whom she can’t be deeply engaged. I understand this perspective and am inclined to make it more universal. Isn’t it smart to pick all our allies according to this principle?

Every one of us is a mess in one way or another, so why not choose to blend our fates with those whose messiness entertains us and teaches us the most? I suggest you experiment with this view in the coming weeks and months, Pisces.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. 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.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730‑2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site ‑ www.servicelinkASAP.com‑ for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 124787.
