We didn’t know that Héctor Sánchez Castañeda worked for an escort service when we took him on as a news intern; it was more his writing style that appealed to us. But much to our astonishment, we learned that this mild-mannered English major had the wee-hours shift as a CSO (community service officer) with the UCSB Police Department. When he’s not escorting coeds through Isla Vista late at night, Héctor confessed he loves to read Game of Thrones and is a fan of nonfiction. Fluent in Spanish, the third-year UCSB student prefers to read in the author’s original language, and he took up the memorization of Japanese characters these past few quarters.

Manga in English, however, has been an exception.

Brooks Bites Dust

Fabled Photography School Will Close October 31 SO LONG: Kayse Crandall (left) and Torrey L. Thomas hug during the last portfolio show at Brooks Institute.

A

by K e i t h h a m m

mix of stunned disbelief and orchestrated scrambling surrounded the sudden closure late last week of Brooks Institute, a photography, film, and graphic design private college founded 71 years ago in Santa Barbara.

On August 11, school officials announced the ousting of President Dr. Edward Clift, prompting most of its Board of Trustees to resign. The next morning at the school’s Ventura campus, a lawyer representing Brooks’s parent company, gphomestay, announced to faculty and staff that doors will close on October 31, citing “changes in economic and regulatory conditions.” The student body was informed a few hours later.

Since then, Brooks administrators and teachers have rallied behind their students, many just a few months shy of graduating.

On August 17-18, Brooks hosted a college fair with visiting representatives from Santa Barbara City College, San Francisco’s Academy of Art University, and Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design, among others. According to Professor Bill Robbins, the school’s academic units are transferable, and foreign students with active visas will be accommodated, as well: “[Provost Toni Johnson and Registrar April Reyes] are now making arrangements with other schools.”

On August 16, Robbins joined 18 of his graduating students and their friends and family for “a celebration that they stuck with it and made it through” to earn their Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography. “It’s awkward for some of them,” he said, “because some of their classmates would have walked this December.”

Reflecting on the sudden shuttering, Robbins opined that “the problem was putting the cart before the horse.” While he appreciated the school’s vision of relocating from its leased campus site, located on unincorporated prop8

erty off North Ventura Avenue, into the heart of the city’s downtown, the transition might have come easier if it had boosted enrollment numbers first. Earlier this summer, Brooks took on lease agreements with four downtown buildings—two of them owned by the City of Ventura—that would need significant renovations before classes started in the fall. From a certain perspective, according to sources familiar with the school’s ambitious plans, it’s reasonable to see how it became overextended financially.

‘it’s a real tragedy.’

— Ernest H. Brooks Jr.

But that doesn’t entirely explain what happened, said Leigh Eisen, Ventura’s manager of economic development. “Their plan looked good,” she said. “We thought it was a really good fit — integrating into the urban fabric —and we vetted their financials.” Eisen added that Brooks seemed to be making progress toward opening its downtown spaces by the start of classes next month. It was “pretty shocking” to hear of its closing, she said.

The school now owes the city more than $60,000, she said. “We sent a notice of predefault and demand for cure. And as far as we know, they haven’t paid any of their contactors.”

Jeffrey Burke, a former chair of the school’s Board of Trustees, explained that Brooks had been in trouble for several years, dealing with changes in educational, business, and industry norms. “You don’t necessarily have to have a photography degree to get a job,” he

said during a recent conversation with newly resigned Brooks Board of Trustees chair, Fred Van Johnson, for a forthcoming podcast for Johnson’s This Week in Photo website. Burke added that the founding Brooks family selling to Career Education Corporation (CEC), a for-profit higher-education corporation, in 1999 “was a major turning point,” for better or worse. While CEC did inject Brooks with much-needed capital, he said, “the beginning of the decline” dates to the 2005 multimillion-dollar settlement of a class-action lawsuit alleging that Brooks had increased enrollment by willfully misleading prospective students. CEC also expanded the school’s moviemaking program to a film studio in Ventura while maintaining several sites in Santa Barbara and Montecito. But the school never recovered enrollment drops suffered during the Great Recession, and, according to Burke, “was priced out of Santa Barbara.” Last year, Brooks relocated entirely to its North Ventura Avenue site.

Burke also said that CEC could see the writing on the wall last year, with the coming of new restrictions on for-profit schools and greater protections for students attempting to borrow excessive amounts of money for an education that may not deliver its projected income upon graduation. In June 2015, CEC sold Brooks Institute to gphomestay, a company that specializes in finding homes for international students studying in the United States.

Calls to Brooks administrators were not returned before deadline. Ousted chair Edward Clift and Christine Lin, gphomestay founder and the school’s interim chair, could not be reached for comment.

“The way they are going about this is wrong,” said Ernest H. Brooks Jr., whose father founded the school in 1945.“You don’t just shut the door. It’s a real tragedy. If I wasn’t 82 years old, I’d come back and take it over again.” n

news briefs law & disorder Santa Barbara city fire and police personnel responded around 9 p.m. on 8/9 to an accident on Cliff Drive in which a white 1997 Lexus sedan — described by an eyewitness to be traveling 85-100 mph — lost control and struck the curb, a fire hydrant, a power pole, and a tree. It flew through the air before landing in a large shrub in a front yard, killing driver Angel Flores, 24, and passengers Benjamin Rubio, 28, and Daniella Hearn, 19, all of Santa Barbara. Michael Mendoza, 29, survived the crash and was transported in critical condition to Cottage Hospital. A single parent, Hearn had been featured in numerous news articles about young homeless people and was in a relationship with Rubio.

Juana Holzer, the mother of two Goleta kids allegedly murdered by their father, Nicolas Holzer, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against her ex-husband and his family’s trust, seeking an undetermined amount of money. In the August 2014 killings, authorities have charged Nicolas Holzer with stabbing his sons and parents to death. He has been in County Jail while the courts await a report from psychiatrists regarding his insanity plea last fall. The Holzers were divorced in 2006, and those papers document a chilling story of drinking, abuse, and violence. In a separate suit, Nicolas’s brother and sister, Scott and Suzanne, filed to prevent Nicolas from profiting from his parents’ deaths.

Santa Barbara Police Chief Lori Luhnow spoke at La Casa de la Raza on 8/10 about her efforts to connect her department with minority groups. Accompanied by several of her officers, the chief spoke with many of the attendees one-on-one before and after her brief public presentation. “What’s important to me as a chief and what’s important to my officers is what’s important to you, and we can’t determine what that is unless we talk,” Luhnow said. With eight new officers graduating the police academy by the end of October, two of whom are Hispanic and bilingual, Luhnow said she plans on starting a shift within her department to embrace community policing.

CoUNTY The county’s effort to regulate short-term rentals on unincorporated properties inched closer to fruition on 8/10 as the Planning Commission voted in favor of a draft ordinance that prohibits the practice in residential neighborhoods but allows it in mixed-use and commercial areas and on agricultural parcels that are at least 40 acres in size. The new ordinance would also require rental units be equipped with smoke detectors and other safety fixtures, and it would establish quiet hours and yetto-be-determined occupancy limits. The Montecito Planning Commission will review the draft ordinance on 9/21 before it reaches county supervisors, perhaps before the end of the year.

Firefighters face even deadlier risks than burning homes and flaming hillsides — cancer and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are killing them at alarming rates, new studies show. According to the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), which hosted its annual summit this week in Las Vegas, attended by Captain Tony Pighetti and Engineer Kevin Corbett with Santa Barbara City Fire, cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the United States — about 60 percent of career firefighters will die this way, “with their boots off,” as they call it. The rising number of casualties has been linked to noxious smoke from modern homes — newer furniture is routinely made with plastics, foams, and coatings laden with chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, and hydrogen cyanide — and prolonged exposure to wildland fires for days at a time.

“There are just a plethora of toxic things that kill firefighters,” said Corbett, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer in March 2014 and was out for 18 months. He’s now back to full duty. He said he’s aware of four other current and retired City Fire members with cancer and counts himself lucky to have survived. “I’m in a very exclusive club and don’t want any more members.”

Smoke exposure is a recognized hazard of the job, Corbett said, but for many years the risks weren’t well understood or even talked about — guys wore their uniform pants thick with toxic chemicals around the station, and diesel-burning fire engines often idled in their closed bays. City Fire has discontinued both practices, said Corbett, and has taken a proactive approach to the issue. But more study is needed, he went on, and the IAFF is pushing for additional funding into research and outreach. Last spring, Congress introduced a bill to create a national registry of firefighters with cancer.

Like combat veterans, firefighters — in addition to police, paramedics, and dispatchers — are susceptible to the effects of post-traumatic stress, said Pighetti.

Repeated exposure to death and violence can weigh heavily on the mind, which may lead to anxiety, depression, drinking, or drug abuse. Pighetti said fatal car accidents, like the triple-fatality on Cliff Drive last week, are especially hard. The IAFF estimates around 20 percent of firefighters and paramedics struggle with PTSD; a 2015 Florida State University study revealed 46.8 percent of the 4,300 firefighters surveyed thought about suicide, and 15.5 percent had attempted it.

“I know people in the department struggling with [PTSD],” said Pighetti. “It’s so hard to help.” In the past, firefighters would come back from a difficult call and not talk about it, he explained. They would sleep it off and then go to the next one. Now, departments like Santa Barbara’s are encouraging more dialogue and training its firefighters to notice signs of post-traumatic stress in one another. Pighetti said he and others are also looking to create a regional support group among first responders throughout the county; it’s much more effective to speak with someone who understands the job and its troubles than a therapist with no relatable experience, he said.

All their efforts are aimed at one thing, said Pighetti: “We want to help prevent every — Tyler Hayden unnecessary death.”

In the race to represent the 3rd district — encompassing Isla Vista, the Gaviota Coast, and Santa Ynez Valley — candidate Bruce Porter reported $30,466 cash on hand as of 6/30 compared to Joan Hartmann’s $6,508.

In the first half of 2016, Porter spent $259,571 whereas Hartmann spent $281,830. A political committee for Porter — Keep Santa Barbara County Working — sponsored by oil companies raised $60,000, of which half remains.

Santa Barbarans interested in learning more about the new area code destined for the 805 can meet on 8/22 at 7 p.m. at the Eastside Library, 1102 East Montecito Street, with reps for the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The area code is expected to exhaust available combinations in about a year’s time, and the new set of numbers will roll out June 2018 for most all of Santa Barbara and its surrounding counties. The new area code will

not be determined until the CPUC decides whether to impose it for a small area of existing numbers or create new numbers with it.

St. George Pleads mea Culpa Developer and Critics Both Get Slammed

andlord and developer Ed St. George stood in front of the Santa Barbara Planning Commission last Thursday afternoon — hat firmly on his head and not in hand—and took his lumps. “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize,” said St. George, who in recent months has become both a charismatic and polarizing force on the Santa Barbara Mesa. “What I did was wrong.”

St. George was referring to the 39 trees he cut down without city permits at the 97-unit apartment complex he purchased two years ago by the intersection of Loma Alta and Cliff Drive, now known as Beach City. Of those, 36 were eucalyptus trees used by monarch butterflies as a winter roosting habitat. Many were part of an officially designated environmentally sensitive habitat.

St. George explained he cut the trees down because they provided cover to multiple homeless encampments on the sprawling property abutting Honda Creek. He worried about fires, he explained, and whether some of the squatters posed a potential physical threat to his tenants, almost exclusively outof-town City College students.

St. George found himself squarely on the hot seat last week — and facing up to $91,000 in possible fines — for planting a row of palm trees without permits, expanding the parking lot by 25 additional spaces, building a bocce ball court, installing a concrete ping-pong table, and making numerous changes of a visually spiffy nature to the exterior of his apartment complex. In all the many public meetings held over the past five months to discuss St. George and his ambitious plans —since withdrawn—to transform the once bedraggled apartments into massive new City College dorms, this was the first time he has ever apologized.

For the most part, St. George’s contrition played well with the planning commissioners, who lauded his plans to restore the habitat he destroyed—planting 240 new trees and creating what he called the biggest oak woodland in city limits. They also liked his five-year monitoring plan. What will become of the $91,000 fine, however, still remains to be seen. Less persuaded was the legion of neighborhood activists who came unglued when St. George announced he hoped to transform his apartments — now home to roughly 500 City College students — to dorms capable of holding 1,500. One critic noted with quiet disapproval that St. George never took off his hat, even while inside a government building. Others were less muted.

Ed St. George “Beach City was not built on ignorance,” exclaimed Diane Greenwood.“It was built on greed.” St. George, she charged, owns 50 rental buildings throughout the South Coast and knows full well what permits are necessary.

“He knows the rules all too well,” she said.

Beebe Longstreet, a 20-year member of the city’s Parks and Recreation Committee and longtime advocate for the lower Westside, said St. George was happy to apologize for things he should have sought permission in the first place. “I don’t want others to see this as an alternative for going through the process,” she said.

Most outspoken of all the planning commissioners was Michael Jordan, who castigated both St. George and his critics.

Jordan said he still found St. George’s transgressions “disgusting,” but that’s better than “obscene,” which was how Jordan said he felt before St. George finally apologized.

For too long, Jordan complained, St. George insisted on defending his actions. Jordan also directed sharp disapproval at St. George’s critics for attacking him on so personal a level.

St. George announced two weeks ago he was holding back on his grander plans for a few years in response to sharply personal attacks to which he said he’s been subjected.

Some of the targets of Jordan’s wrath felt unfairly criticized and took their concerns to other planning commissioners. They were being penalized, said one, for availing themselves of the public process. Another said Jordan’s remarks brought her to tears.

Jordan, known for a rough-hewn bluntness at times, lives on the Mesa and is the most immediately familiar of all the commissioners with the problems between City College and surrounding neighborhoods. By demonizing St. George, he explained later, he worried the neighbors had blown any opportunity to engage St. George in dialogue over the real issues. He insisted that these issues—highdensity housing springing up in residential neighborhoods — are not going away no matter what Ed St. George does or doesn’t do n at Beach City.

trout rescue afoot

One classroom at a time

A handful of California Fish and Wildlife workers, armed with rods and reels, launched the first of several backcountry rescue efforts targeting the genetically invaluable trout now struggling to stay alive in the Juncal Reservoir — a k a Jameson Lake — 10 miles from Montecito. “There’s not enough water, and what there is is too hot,” declared Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Andrew Hughan.

Although the trout landlocked in the dam are not technically steelhead — steelhead have to be able to go from creek to ocean to creek again — they are genetically identical. In fact, the fish held captive at Jameson, isolated from the reproductive dilutions of stocked trout, are among the most genetically robust.

With water levels plunging from 80 feet to 20, the temperature, turbidity, and oxygen levels of Juncal are reaching critically dangerous levels. Although the Montecito Water District has been testing the water on a weekly basis, there’s no established threshold demarking when such rescue efforts need to be initiated. Privately, some district personnel say the rescue campaign should have been launched this May, pointing out a number of dead trout found floating with some regularity on top of the lake.

This week’s effort is a trial run, with the target being 50 pounds of fish, to be hauled away in a refrigerated, oxygenated truck to a fishery in Fillmore. The second rescue, slated to take place a couple of weeks hence, will target a few hundred pounds of trout and involve as many as 50 people.

Steelhead were declared a federally endangered species in 1994, and in Southern California, there are about 500 adults from the Santa Maria River to the Mexican border. Efforts to keep the steelhead alive throughout the current drought have proved problematic. Various water agencies have been spending up to $2 million a year to remove obstacles keeping steelhead from migrating up South Coast streams, but there’s little expectation those efforts will pass muster with federal officials now working on a revised “Biological Opinion” of efforts to keep the steelhead alive.

The expectation among water agency leaders is that the new Biological Opinion — a powerful regulatory instrument expected to be released within the next several months — will find area efforts to be woefully inadequate. Giving greater urgency to efforts to save the steelhead at Juncal is widespread anticipation the feds will issue what’s known as a “jeopardy opinion,” meaning local steelhead — Nick Welsh remain in jeopardy because of existing practices.

State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson is taking a skeptical wait-and-see approach toward a handful of amendments forcibly added to a bill she introduced to prevent members of the California Coastal Commission from being privately lobbied by individuals with a financial interest in large coastal development projects. One amendment would allow developers and their agents to meet privately with coastal commissioners during on-site visits. Others would require telephone or video access to any such meetings. Jackson first saw the fine print of these amendments early this week. “I am concerned several of them may have departed from the intent and purpose of this bill,” she said.

The island fox (pictured)— the largest land predator on the windswept northern chain of the Channel Islands — is being removed from the Endangered Species List after facing near-extinction by nonnative golden eagles at the turn of the century. The removal is the quickest recovery of a land mammal in the history of the Endangered Species Act, which was established by Congress in 1973. “This is super exciting,” said Ashley Spratt with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “It’s a real success story.”

Former major leaguers Roger Clemens and Tim Hudson pitched in the 82nd National Baseball Congress World Series, but after 30 teams played ball for two weeks in Wichita, it was the Santa Barbara Foresters who brought home the trophy for a record-tying sixth time. They scored a 6-2 victory over a Kansas team, the Hays Larks, in the championship game on 8/14. The Foresters actually won two games that day. They rallied for three runs in the bottom of the 12th inning to oust the San Diego Force 7-6 in a semifinal that ended at 4:26 a.m., after the Larks had outlasted Hudson and the Kansas Stars in 17 innings. n

Isla Vista Pushes Back Against Proposed Noise Ordinance

campuses, he added. “We’re kind of the oddball.”

But students Tuesday stressed that District Attorney Joyce Dudley recently reported that crime overall dropped by 20 percent in the last two years, according to data released by the I.V. Safe committee. In an interview, Dudley said she would perhaps support the ordinance if the nexus between noise and crime could be demonstrated. “I just don’t know if I’ve heard of one,” she said, noting an exception could be, for instance, parties of 50 people jumping on a deck. She is bringing the issue to I.V. Safe next week. pau l wellM an

by K e l S e y B r u G G e r n what promised to be a maddening discussion about changing Isla Vista’s weekend noise curfew from midnight to 10 p.m. did not disappoint on Tuesday night, when about 100 people filled Embarcadero Hall. For two hours, students approached the microphone to criticize three Isla Vista Foot Patrol officials about the proposed ordinance amendment, which surprised just about everyone when it was announced last week at the Isla Vista Community Network meeting.

The rule — which would prohibit residents from playing music or making noise within earshot of their property’s edge after 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — would impact all unincorporated areas in the county. But so far, just Isla Vista residents have complained.

Lt. Ruben Cintron, who took over the Foot Patrol in June, was conspicuously silent onstage at the town hall meeting, deferring mostly to South County Commander Kelly Moore and community liaison deputy James McKarrell.

Functioning as the scapegoat, Moore nodded and absorbed grievances from young people, who argued the rushed move lacked transparency and would do little to curb I.V.’s party culture.

“I would rather we use the resources we have toward something more pressing,” said one student. Others spoke about Isla Vista’s burgeoning music subculture, which thrives in the before-midnight hours. Noise is hardly a big deal, another speaker said, especially compared to sexual assault. And many said the change could drive people to drink more in a shorter period of time.

“This isn’t meant to increase or decrease binge drinking,” Moore responded. “That’s a whole other social issue.” He replied to each speaker and apologized multiple times that the matter “came to the public the way it did.”

He thought community feedback already happened, he said.

Last year, former Foot Patrol Lieutenant Rob Plastino received data —compiled by the county CEO’s office — showing that a tremendous amount of crime was being committed on weekend nights from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. In fiscal year 2013-2014, he said, there were more than eight times the number of Priority 1 calls for service on Fridays and Saturdays — 325 and 284, respectively —than there were on Mondays and Tuesdays—40 and 31. “It’s insane,” he said in an interview.

“I have no clue why we allow loud music to go on until midnight,” he said, noting cities such as Lompoc, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo prohibit loud music past 10 p.m. every day of the week. The same is true for neighborhoods around other UC

Commander Kelly Moore A few years ago, the county implemented the Social Host Ordinance, which implicates anyone knowingly serving alcohol to five or more minors. The purpose was to deter parents from turning a blind eye to underage drinking, but the rule was dramatic for Isla Vista.

To be implemented, the proposed noise ordinance must be approved by the county supervisors. Exactly when the item would be placed on their agenda is still unclear. Commander Moore expressed some openness to delaying such action.

In any case, the issue functions as a political hot potato for candidates Bruce Porter and Joan Hartmann, who face off in November for the open 3rd District supervisor’s seat.

After the meeting Tuesday, both shied away from definitely saying whether or not they supported the proposed noise curfew. Both, likewise, called the process deeply flawed.

The meeting was hosted by Spencer Brandt and Ethan Bertrand, who are two of eight candidates vying for a seat on the proposed Isla Vista Community Services District (CSD), which would be created should I.V. voters approve the district in November.

The others in the CSD race are Jay Freeman, Natalie Jordan, Jon-Stephen Hedges, Michael Kile, Joel Ruiz, and Andrew Pragin.

Confusing the matter is that there are three separate races for five positions: Two seats are four-year terms and one position is a two-year term. Two seats are temporary twoyear terms (and will turn into staggered fouryear positions). Efforts to defeat the CSD, meanwhile, have already begun. n

LET’S TALK: Some slights are a matter of

choice. You can take them personally if you want. Or not. With others, choice is not an option. Given the unrequited silent treatment I am now enduring at the hands of the Montecito Water District, both responses are clearly mandated.

Whenever I run into Nick Turner, the water district’s new general manager, he’s congeniality personified. “Call me,” he says.

When I do, all I get is nothing, the connubial combination of radio silence and crickets.

If the Montecito district were as tightfisted with water as it is with basic info, it would not have to be preparing customers for significant service reductions. But with Montecito customers guzzling water at twice the rate of everyone else—and that’s better by more than 100 percent than it was just a few years ago — little wonder no one wants to talk.

Hey, man, I’m just doing my job. I call up.

I ask questions. On occasion, I actually listen to the answers.

So, yes, my nose is out of joint. And I admit that colors my reaction to last week’s battle at the Coastal Commission over a private well permit sought — and obtained — by Channel Drive resident, mega-developer, philanthropist, big-league political mover and shaker, all-around nice guy, and UC Regent Hadi Makarechian so he could water his lawn and irrigate his nonnative plants during the worst drought in recent history. Although sanity

would ultimately prevail—and Makarechian’s well permit would be unanimously denied —a whole lot of people, private citizens and government bureaucrats alike, were forced to work much harder than they should have to make the obvious happen.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is that none of this effort would have been required had the people running the Montecito Water District availed themselves of power they clearly have to enact rules that would have prevented the desperate run on Montecito’s groundwater “banks”—by a whole lot of people just like Makarechian— that’s been accelerating over the past five years.

Because the district diddled when it should have fiddled, Montecito’s groundwater basins are now in serious overdraft. Don’t take my word for it; that’s the professional sky-is-falling opinion rendered by UCSB hydrogeology professor and Indiana Jones/Buckaroo Banzai character Dr. Hugo Loaiciga, who was

hired by the Coastal Commission to study the matter. Likewise, Loaiciga expressed serious concern that the large number of private wells sucking water from under Montecito’s ground have created a serious risk of seawater intrusion in Montecito’s most productive groundwater basin. Once that happens, you can kiss your aquifer good-bye. And that’s forever.

Back in 2014, California’s drought had grown so Saharan that the Montecito district felt compelled to enact a rationing

ordinance, albeit one that still allowed consumption levels unheard of in other districts.

For those exceeding designated allotments, there would be fines. This created a fullemployment act for professional well drillers. In 2014, there would be 278 well permit applications submitted by Montecito property owners with the county’s Environmental Health Services. Since the drought started, there have been 490. That brings the total number of private well permits issued in Montecito since the 1970s to 1,000. Not all get built. Still, that’s a lot of straws sucking from a pretty shallow saucer. By the way, these are no-questions-asked applications. To ask is to receive. Only those sought in the coastal zone are subject to any regulatory oversight.

Because Makarechian’s property is 400 feet from the beach, he qualified. County planners rejected his application, dismissing it as a flagrant effort to circumvent Montecito’s wateruse restrictions. He appealed to the Montecito Planning Commission, which, in its ineffable wisdom, voted 4-to-1 to approve the well. In response, two coastal commissioners personally intervened to challenge the permit.

Late in 2014, the Montecito district asked the county supervisors to enact a ban on new water wells in Montecito. How could they manage the basin with all these private wells?

Private wells, district officials estimated, were sucking 700-1,000 acre-feet a year of water out of the ground. Wells owned by the water district itself were sucking another 500. But in an average hypothetical good year, Montecito’s groundwater basins could safely produce only 409 acre-feet. That’s called overdraft. At

Montecito’s request, 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal brought the matter before the county supes. It was embarrassing in the extreme. Carbajal couldn’t get a single supervisor to support a single change in how waterwell permits are doled out. Making matters even worse, not one person from the water district—staff or boardmember—bothered to show up to the meeting they asked for.

At last week’s Coastal Commission meeting, acting director John Ainsworth excoriated the County of Santa Barbara, terming its lack of action on Montecito’s wells “absolutely irresponsible.” His outrage would be more compelling had Montecito ever lifted as much as a finger in defense of its own groundwater basins. Other water districts routinely require property owners to surrender any claim to drilling private wells on their land in exchange for a new water hookup. It’s not perfect, but this policy has effectively limited the number of well permits sought and the number of wells actually drilled. This is not remotely an issue in the City of Santa Barbara, for example, for just this reason. And until 1997, Montecito had the exact same policy in place.

Only when the South Coast hooked up to the State Water system after the last drought did Montecito drop it. Anytime since then, the water board could have voted to reenact this policy. It still can. For reasons beyond my ken, it has never seen fit to do so. It has never seen fit to even try. Or so I’ve heard.

If that’s not true, I’d like to know. I’d call and ask if I thought it might do any good.

Maybe Nick Turner can pick up the phone and call me. I’ll be waiting. —Nick Welsh

Frances Soulé 02/06/36-07/06/16

Long-time Santa Barbara resident Frances Soulé passed away at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on 6 July 2016 at the age of 80 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

She was born Frances Anne Colborn to an Irish-American family in New York in 1936, and grew up in Michigan. She relocated to Santa Barbara with her family in the 1950s, where she met and married her first husband, the late Jude Blau, with whom she had six children. Her second marriage, in 1975, was to John Soulé. Together they raised Fran’s six children and John’s two daughters in a tumultuous but loving family. Her 40-year partnership with John was truly an inspiration to their eight children and all those who knew them.

The warmth of her voice in conversation, the joy in it when she sang, and the uninhibited sound of her laughter have all passed from this world now, but those of us who knew and loved her still hear it in the deep heart’s core.

Fran is survived by her husband and her siblings, Frank and Melissa Colborn, and all of her children, about whom she once said, “I consider them my life’s greatest achievement.” A private memorial will be held at La Casa de Maria. Donations may be made in her memory to Valley Churches United Missions, www.vcum.org.

Peter Becker, 70, passed away peacefully at home in Santa Barbara on August 1, 2016, surrounded by people who love him. He was born on July 23, 1946, in Honolulu, Hawaii, the only child of James Milford and Mary Opal (Layne) Becker.

The family moved to La Jolla in 1956 where Peter grew up. They spent many wonderful summers in London and traveled the world as much as they could. He attended Webb School in Claremont as a freshman and sophomore, and then transferred to La Jolla Country Day School, graduating in 1964. It was during his adolescent years in La Jolla that he designed his first house, which his parents built and which became the family home.

In 1968 Peter graduated from UCSB as a rhetoric and public address major. He spent the next ten years in Santa Barbara working in residential construction; it was during that time he decided to pursue his dream of being an architect. He attended the University of Colorado in Denver and was granted a master’s degree in architecture in 1981.

After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles and worked closely with Charles Moore, his architectural hero. After that he worked two years with Frank Gehry, and then spent four more formative years as a senior associate at Lehrer Architects.

Eventually he felt the call to move back to Santa Barbara and start his own architectural practice, which he did in 1990. Peter moved his office to the historic Flying A Studio in 1998, where he continued to practice residential architecture with great passion until his passing.

Peter approached all he did with joy and enthusiasm, and was an incredibly kind and loyal friend to very many people. He was a man of rare wit, intelligence, spirituality, generosity, and style. He will

be missed terribly by all who were touched by his remarkable character and energy.

Peter is survived by his loving wife, Julie, with whom he spent sixteen happy years; countless close friends and family members; and his loyal collie, Ned. There was a memorial service for Peter at the Santa Barbara Cemetery, on Sunday, August 7. The service was held in the cemetery chapel designed by George Washington Smith, one of Peter’s favorite architects.

In lieu of flowers, it was Peter’s wish that a donation be made to one of his two favorite charities, the Seva Foundation or SEE International.

Rita Doreen Hammel 11/21/28-08/07/16

Rita Doreen Hammel reunited with her husband, Melvin, on Sunday morning, August 7. According to her wishes, she was at home, surrounded by family.

Born in Tofield, Alberta, Canada, on November 21, 1928, she went to work with her mother for the U.S. Army in the Yukon during WWII. She began writing to Melvin C. Hammel who was serving in the U.S. Coast Guard.

They wrote for three years without meeting and fell in love through the mail. The day after they met, they were engaged. A year later they were married in Vancouver, B.C., and came by train to Santa Barbara, CA, where they lived for 33 years. It was there that their four children were born: Susanne HammelSawyer (Benjamin), Thomas Charles Hammel (Judy), Sally Jane Hammel (Mark Glass), and Trudy Bilodeau (John).

Pre-deceased by her parents, husband, brothers and sister, she is survived by her children and sister-in-law, Dolly Sierra. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Cameron, Adam, Jeremy, Melissa, Gwendolyn, Joseph, and Elizabeth; eleven great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren (so far). She also has many surviving nieces and nephews.

While in Santa Barbara, she was a florist, worked for the county assessor, and volunteered for various organizations. Always a LADY, she was known as the “wagon-master” and was a people-gatherer.

She never needed an excuse for a party and always welcomed company generously.

While she was proud of her Scottish and Canadian heritages, she was even more proud of having become a U.S. citizen.

Rita and Mel moved to Silver Lakes (Helendale), CA, in 1978. They spent ten summers

working in Yellowstone and seven summers working at the Ponderosa Ranch at Lake Tahoe. She developed a passion for Native American art and jewelry. She was a member of the women’s golf club and was thrilled to have made a hole-in-one. She and Mel were part of an R.V. group that traveled all over the U.S. and Canada. She loved to travel and to meet new people, especially children, everywhere she went. A wonderful hostess, she could always be counted on as a true friend.

Late in life, her two dogs were her beloved companions.

A celebration of her life will take place at her home in October. Donations can be made, in her name, to your local Salvation Army, the Helendale Fire Department, or your local animal shelter.

You taught us to laugh and to hug and be close to family, be true to our country, and have a good relationship with God. It has been 15 years, and the loss is all ours. For wherever a beautiful soul has been is a trail of beautiful memories.

Your children: Rafael Jeannie, Catherine Gil, Louis, and your grandchildren: Delphina, Raphael, Tristan, Edward, Alexandra, Nicolas and Donna.

Desperate Times

A

s someone who is completely disenfranchised by the state of our presidential election, I’ve come to understand the importance of electing representatives into office who will amplify our voices, regardless of who wins the Oval Office.

We need congressmembers who are willing to make bold decisions and take on the political elite by pushing for reform. Deciding on who was best fit to do this for our district was hard for me in the primary, but this year’s general election has made it easy.

Justin Fareed is a genuine candidate who has the common sense and leadership skills desperately needed in Washington. He will push for real solutions to our nation’s problems. He’s someone we can trust to listen to our voices and deliver on his promises because, unlike his opponent, he’s running for the people, not special interests.

He’ll wake up Congress, and I look forward to seeing the great things he accomplishes for our com— Andrew Kent, S.B. munity.

Support Jill Stein

W

ould Hillary Clinton be a less dangerous president than Donald Trump? She is a militarist who promoted the Iraq war and the toppling of Gaddafi in Libya, which has led to death, chaos, and ISIS in the Middle East. Let’s not forget her support of the military coup that ousted the democratically elected president of Honduras; it became one of the most violent places in the world. Among the dead was internationally acclaimed human rights activist Berta Cáceres. And the no-fly zone over Syria Clinton wants could get us in major conflict with Russia, a nuclear power.

Most are planning to vote against Clinton or Trump out of dislike. Why support them when there’s a better alternative? Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president, is running an inspiring grassroots campaign.

with

Those afraid of Trump can support Stein, and if she doesn’t poll high enough, they can go back to Clinton. They can use their bargaining power with Clinton, who gets most of her campaign money from Wall Street and other wealthy interests. Voters can demand she stop taking this dirty money, that she release her paid speeches to Wall Street, and that she stop promoting fracking.

Let’s support Stein, who’s for the people, the middle class, and the environment.

Tons of Tiny Homes

R

egarding the volume of small-apartment construction the city has “incentivized” in hopes of creating affordable workforce rentals, the first completed project under the popular AUD [Average Unit-size Density] program, The Marc, seems to indicate that, contrary to the key underlying assumption of the program, small units do not necessarily spawn “affordability”— not surprising in one of the most attractive places to live on the planet. It is very difficult, probably impossible, to achieve affordability when people from virtually everywhere are willing to bid up the prices.

Many are willing to tolerate these new apartment projects if they provide workforce living space. The Marc serves as a sober warning that they might not.

The risks if the programs do not deliver as hoped include impacts on limited resources without the benefit of affordability. Santa Barbara has retained its character due to a 40-plus-year tradition of stringent growth management. Are we willing to unwind that with incentives that literally leave the door open to unlimited apartment development? The AUD is a perfect example of “giving away the store.” A thorough assessment must be made to assure its goals are being achieved.

The Dodgers Struck Out

HEADLINE FANTASY: “Dodger Great Mike

Piazza Voted into Hall of Fame” “No. 1 Slugger Catcher Leads L.A. to World Series Win” (Sorry, but none of this ever happened.)

This is how the Dodgers screwed up big time. Mike Piazza was wearing a New York Mets jersey instead of a Dodgers shirt when he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame the other day.

In what’s considered the worst trade in Dodger history by far, a young power-hitting Piazza was dealt to the Miami Marlins in 1998

by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Group. (Yep, Fox bought the team.) A week later he was traded to the Mets, where he became a career superstar and powered them to the 2000 World Series. Upon retirement in 2007, Piazza had racked up 427 home runs, been voted into 12 All-Star games, and finished with a .308 batting average. He also collected 10 Silver Slugging awards for his power hitting.

Piazza is hailed as the greatest slugging catcher, though he was never a great defensive player.

But to Fox, Piazza was just a prima donna kid who wanted too much money. The Dodgers flipped Piazza for some young, cheap players.

Wrote Los Angeles Times sports columnist Jim Murray:“… they traded away part of their soul.”

The trade was “devastating to the Dodgers on a couple of counts,” said general manager Fred Claire, who wasn’t even consulted on the deal. Not only was a great player lost, Claire said, but the whole team structure was turned around, which led to “other events.”

Claire was soon fired, along with shortstop manager Billy Russell, catcher Mike Scioscia, and most of the coaches.

Piazza, an Italian-Slovak from Pennsylvania, was a good high school and junior college hitter, but so were countless players around the country in 1988.

In the draft that year, 1,389 players were picked ahead of him, even with father Vince Piazza pushing hard and yelling loud, and pull from manager Tommy Lasorda, Vince’s boyhood pal and quasi-“goombah” (godfather) for the boy.“I kept telling our guys,‘I want him drafted,’ ” Lasorda wailed.

They finally did, but for two months, Piazza heard nothing from the Dodgers. Seems as though the team only drafted Piazza as a favor to Lasorda. A “courtesy” pick. Favors like that are common. A kid may not be able to hit a beach ball, but someone with team connections wants his kid to at least get drafted.

Lasorda finally got the Dodgers to give Piazza a tryout. They reluctantly signed him for $15,000 and sent him to a Dominican baseball school to learn how to catch. He’d been a first baseman but didn’t have major

league chops and was too slow. One day he caught a pitch thrown by a skinny 17-year-old Dominican kid named Pedro Martínez. It came in so hard that Piazza gasped, “I thought I’d broken my hand.” More about Martinez later.

Piazza was named rookie of the year in 1993 and after hard bargaining signed a two-year contract for $15 million.

But in 1998 Dodger ownership switched from Peter O’Malley, whose father, Walter, had brought the Dodgers from Brooklyn to the West Coast, to Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Group.

Piazza was looking for a seven-year contract for over $100 million, according to his book Long Shot (Simon & Schuster, 2013).

What he got was a ticket to Florida. One day he went into the shower a Marlin and came out a Met.

ANOTHER MISTAKE: The aforementioned Pedro Martínez and his brother Ramón were raised in a dirt-floor Dominican house. His

LEGENDARY: Mike Piazza has called his autobiography Long Shot, which he was.

father did odd jobs; his mother washed clothes for rich folks. Both boys went on to become pitchers in the Dodger organization.

But Lasorda thought that at 135 pounds, skinny Pedro was unlikely to withstand the rigors of the major leagues. After a 1993 season as a setup man in the Dodger bullpen, with a good 10-5 record and 2.61 earned-run average, Lasorda traded Pedro to the Montreal Expos for second baseman Delino DeShields, a name still grumbled about as one of the worst trades ever.

DeShields hit .214 over three years with the Dodgers, then bounced around the majors.

Pedro Martínez, on the other hand, became an eight-time all-star, with the fourth best earned-run average in modern baseball and recorded over 3,000 strikeouts. He’s in the Hall of Fame, too, but not as a Dodger.

t 28, Kelsey Sullivan is fearless and determined, but she always has a twinkle in her eye. After graduating from Dunn School in Los Olivos, she traveled to Ghana to volunteer for the Right to Dream Academy, a school for talented West African soccer players. There she met 11 boys from Sierra Leone who had been sponsored by the Craig Bellamy Foundation (CBF), a similar program started by the Welsh soccer player.

Athletic and goodnatured, Sullivan was a good fit. As a child in Wyoming, her first love was dogsledding, but she’s also boxed, danced, run track, and, of course, played soccer. She was DUNN TO AFRICA AND BACK: Dunn School alum especially drawn to the Sierra Leonean kids, Kelsey Sullivan (center) is hosting 14 students/ soccer players from Sierra Leone this year, who were “honest, direct, including Sahid Conteh (left) and Mohamed and a little bit cheeky Kargbo (right). … like me.” Today, she is the primary sponsor, advocate, and den mother to 14 Sierra Leonean boys who are living, playing soccer, and attending high school in the Santa Barbara area.

“We look at maybe 4,000 kids in Sierra Leone and ultimately whittle it down to 16,” she said. “For those who are chosen, it’s huge.”

The players get room and board, running water, electricity, the only grass field in the country other than the national stadium, and fiveyear scholarships.“We start to see who the stand-out leaders are and who has really strong character,” said Sullivan, “and these might be chosen to come here to California.”

Dunn School has been especially receptive to the CBF boys: Seven will begin at Dunn this year, and Dunn’s first CBF graduate, Sahid Conteh, is about to start college at Loyola Marymount. There are also two boys at Cate this fall, and two at Laguna Blanca. The students have full scholarships and play for Santa Barbara Soccer Club.

“Hopefully some will play pro, and some will get degrees, and we’ll see where it goes,” Sullivan said. In 2020, when the current group graduates, she plans to move back to Sierra Leone and expand the program to girls.

Except for the Cate boarders, the students live with Sullivan. “It’s just me and the boys, but we figure it out,” she said. “We talk about things. We learn things culturally. Everyone comes away with a better understanding.”

Though the annual trips to Sierra Leone are complicated, her love for the country is palpable. “There’s so much poverty, but so much hope and spirit,” she said. “One of the fathers sells newspapers in Freetown. He works so hard, and he has so little, but he’s so happy and grateful for life. It makes me rethink my own life.

“I read somewhere that if you find what breaks your heart, you find your passion,” she continued. “It’s true for me. How can we share? What would bring communities and cultures together? That would help the world so much. The dialogue, the learning experience, even just to have a real conversation … It breaks my heart when you can’t do that. So how can I bring these things together? I found my exact purpose. This is what I was supposed to do.”

A DDAAy Ay for the Dogs

The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden always allows leashed canine companions on its grounds, but once a year, the gates open for a day dedicated to the dogs. This past Saturday, the sixth annual Trails ’n’ Tails event saw more than 200 dogs enjoying the Mission Canyon property. Each pup and their human got one free admission and the chance to be part of a pet costume parade, a doggie kissing booth, and a mid-afternoon pack walk with K-Nine Solutions.

s.B. soccer cluB Wins national Championship

P

enalty-kick shoot-outs deciding the outcome of a soccer match can bring out the worst in somebody — we heard you, Hope Solo — but when the Under-18 Boys National Championship came down to PKs last month, it brought out the best in Lalo Delgado, the strapping goalkeeper of the Santa Barbara Soccer Club.

Santa Barbara’s shoot-out with FC Golden State was tied 3-3 after the teams played to a 1-1 deadlock in the title match at Frisco, Texas.“I kept my cool because my team was making their kicks,” Delgado said. “I wanted to win for my brothers after they ran in that horrible heat.”

Delgado dove to his left and stopped Golden State’s fourth attempt.

Francisco Arroyo then stuck the ball in the back of the net to give Santa Barbara a 4-3 edge, and Delgado smothered another shot to clinch his team’s third national championship.

“This one was our most emotional win,” Delgado said.

“We really, really wanted it.” The team, which has had the same core group of players for the better part of a decade, won its other titles in 2012 (U-14) and 2013 (U-15). The next two years, they lost in the semifinals. “It was painful seeing other teams win,” said Tim Heiduk. “This championship brought out a lot of tears and people hugging each other.”

Heiduk was unable to play because of a broken foot, but he flew to Texas to be with the team. “Tim’s a good leader; he and I rallied the troops,” Delgado said. “Coach wants us to be on our best behavior. We stayed away from junk food, stayed away from the pool.”

by John

Zant

Delgado won the Golden Glove award as the tournament’s best goalkeeper, and defender Juan Pablo Alvarez, a fellow Carpinteria native, took home the Golden Ball.

“He hits the ball with power and precision,” Heiduk said of Alvarez.“He scored on a beautiful free kick in the semifinal.”

The head coach is Rudy Ybarra, whose dedication to the game has been a unifying force in the Santa Barbara area. It composes one of the smaller populations in the youth soccer universe but turns out teams that consistently outplay the big metropolitan aggregations. Ybarra made his name as a Santa Barbara High striker in the 1970s and later played professionally.

“He’s been with some of us since we were 9,” Heiduk said. “He teaches little details on the technical side. As we get older, our dribbling and passing are technically sound.”

Alvaro described Ybarra as “a role model, my second dad.”

Ybarra has exchanged ideas with other coaches, including UCSB’s Tim Vom Steeg and Westmont College’s Dave Wolf.

He recently joined Wolf ’s staff.

“It’s going to be a fun adventure,” he said about this Saturday night’s exhibition game at UCSB. Delgado is in Westmont’s freshman class, while Heiduk is a sophomore with the Warriors.

Alvarez flew to Mexico last week on his 18th birthday to begin a professional career with Irapuato FC. He intends to rejoin his friends next summer. “We’ve got one last championship to win, the U-19,” he said. That would put their names on the James P. McGuire Cup, the oldest youth sports trophy in the nation. Winning it would also make these Santa Barbara boys the only team to win four national championships.

THREE-TIMERS: They won at 14 and 15, and now (from left) Tim Heiduk, Lalo Delgado, and Juan Pablo Alvarez of the Santa Barbara Soccer Club are national champions at 18 years old.

Their victory is due in part to longtime coach Rudy Ybarra (below left), who has worked with some of the players since they were 9 years old, according to Heiduk.

exit from the Rio Olympics after losing a shoot-out to Sweden was disheartening, but the goalkeeper showed abysmal sportsmanship by calling the winners “cowards.” She was not paying attention two years ago when Steve Coburn spewed sour grapes after California Chrome lost its Triple Crown bid. He asserted the handlers of the Belmont Stakes winner, Tonalist,“took the coward’s way out.” Coburn later apologized.

Meanwhile, many other Americans are taking care of business in Rio. Of special interest is the women’s water polo team, which includes three players from our area.

Kiley Neushul could not have had a more auspicious debut, scoring the team’s first goal in the opening victory over Spain. She also scored on a dazzling spin move and driving shot against Hungary. Sami Hill saw action in the goal, saving all three Hungarian shots in the final minutes of an 11-6 win. Kami Craig, aiming for her third Olympic medal, continued to be a force in the center. She opened the quarterfinal against Brazil with a slam-dunk goal, and she occupied the defense as eight other players — twice including Neushul — added goals in the 13-3 victory. Barring an upset in their semifinal rematch with Hungary, the U.S. women will be playing Italy or Russia for their second consecutive gold medal Friday, August 19.

Over at the track stadium, U.S. heptathlon champion Barbara Nwaba of the Santa Barbara Track Club struggled in her first Olympic experience, but she finished strong and wound up in 12th place, which was her ranking coming in.

“She competed with everything she had,” said her coach, Josh Priester. The drawn-out schedule made it tough, he said.“It’s not your typical meet where you just get to go from one event to the next. There were hours and hours between events. The fatigue factor is off the charts.” Canada’s Brianne Theisen-Eaton, who has trained in Santa Barbara with Nwaba, managed to grind out a bronze-medal performance.“She was a good fighter,” said Harry Marra, who coaches Theisen-Eaton and Ashton Eaton, the favorite in the decathlon. “That is what the multis are all about. Keep coming back in each event.”

MORE CHAMPIONS: The 805 Santa Barbara Water Polo Club may have future Olympians in its ranks. At the

National Junior Olympic Championships at Stanford, the club won titles in the girls 16U and 14U divisions. Two other teams, 12U and 18U, advanced to the semifinals.

Cathy Neushul was a coach of both championship teams, and Ryann Neushul was MVP of the 16s — that’s Kiley’s mother and younger sister, respectively.

Kayla Day, Santa Barbara’s 16-year-old tennis phenom, reached the girls semifinals at Wimbledon this summer, but she won’t be playing the juniors at the U.S. Open because she earned a wildcard entry in the grown-up show at Flushing, New York. That was Day’s prize for winning the USTA Girls’ 18s National Championship in San Diego. She defeated Nicole Frenkel of Massachusetts, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.

john Zant’s Game of the Week 8/20: College Men’s Soccer: Westmont at UCSB This annual exhibition game kicks off a new season and celebrates what Westmont coach Dave Wolf calls “the best college soccer town in America.”

Wolf’s Warriors will be going up against two of the best players in the country, Gaucho striker Nick DePuy (an NCAA-leading 15 goals last year) and midfielder Kevin Feucht. 7:05pm. Harder Stadium. $8-$10. Call 893-UCSB (8272) or visit ucsbgauchos.com.

CATCH ZOO TRAIN TONIGHT: The next Summer Sips at the Santa Barbara Zoo is tonight, August 18, so head down to try wine, eat small bites, and learn about alcohol’s interesting history with speaker Wesley Hagen.

T

What made you interested in speaking about animal intoxication and how that relates to humans? Intoxication is basically how nature attracts animals to fruit that was missed in its fresh form. [Nature] wants animals to eat fruit, put the seed in their gut, travel, and drop the seed. Now if that doesn’t work, the fruit basically has coevolutionary relationship with certain fungi and bacteria that will ferment the fruit within the skin, kind of like a beer can. In the end, not only do almost all animals seek intoxication, but to me, that also brings up a really interesting philosophical question: Does a reasonable level of safe intoxication give us insight into what nature wants for us? It wants us to relax, eat delicious things, be with the people we love. ... What I

find, in my own life, is that the greatest moments that I’ve had all involve three things: a table, delicious things, and someone I care about. Wine just extends that experience.

Can animals process alcohol like people do? Yes. There is an evolutionary process in most animals’ liver that produces the enzyme dehydrogenated four (DH4). Without DH4, fresh baked bread could keep you drunk indefinitely, since it has about 1 percent alcohol by volume that it blows off as it cools. An animal or human will drink alcohol, and the DH4 detoxifies it so it can be used as an energy source.

What is the best story you have about an animal becoming too intoxicated? I would say it’s the yearly orgy of drunkenness on the African plains with the marula fruit, which is pretty epic. But there is also an island somewhere in the South Pacific where the macaque monkeys come grab your drink and climb up a tree and slowly sip a cocktail ’til it’s done.

Or there is a great story about a little Madagascar tree shrew, which consumes the equivalent of its body weight a day, which is upward of 30 drinks.

It basically lives on booze and does so extraordi—Tricia Paulson narily successfully.

But the August 18 speaker is inimitable winemaker Wesley Hagen of J. Wilkes Wines, who wants to educate people on what animals ingesting alcohol tells us about humans and intoxication.

his past May at the new Hollister Village Plaza in Goleta, Zizzo’s opened its third location, but this time presented a new concept to the Central Coast: a restaurant that serves as a coffeehouse in the morning and then converts to a full-on sports bar and brew pub in the evening. While continuing to offer coffee and breakfast items in the morning hours and throughout the day, this Zizzo’s will focus on the large wraparound bar, multiple TVs, and 10 craft beers on tap in the afternoon and night.

The grand-opening celebration kicks off at noon on August 20 and continues through Sunday, August 21, complete with beer tastings, barbecued tri-tip, live music, giant Jenga, and a competitive corn hole tournament. Attendees will have the chance to win a free flight anywhere in the United States through a raffle that will be going on throughout the weekend, among other prizes. This grand-opening event will be an opportunity to officially introduce the community to Zizzo’s Coffeehouse & Brew Pub and have the residents experience an establishment that can be a coffee fix in the morning and a community gathering place in the evening.

The Brew Pub menu includes Garlic Knots, $5; Nacho Madness, $7.95; Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers, $6-$12; Chicken Wings, $9.95; Quinoa & Baby Kale Salad, $7.95; Chicken Caesar Salad, $9.95; Mediterranean Salad, $8.95; Hummus and Flatbread, $6.50; Spicy Mac & Cheese, $9.95; Cuban Sandwich, $11.95; Pulled Pork Sandwich, $10.95; and Carnitas Tacos, $9.95.

As part of the deal, Jaffurs will remain in the winery for at least the first year and serve on a new board of directors probably indefinitely; Green expects Jaffurs to be quite involved for at least five years. There will be no changes to the winery or staff, according to both men, meaning winemakers Matt Brady and Stephen Searle will remain in charge of the cellar and Dave Yates will continue as GM. “I cultivated this great team who does it the Jaffurs way,” said Jaffurs.“They’re the defenders of our holy grail at this point. Part of the deal is that these guys all stay and we keep this culture we

built alive.” Confirmed Green,“It’s a good model.

The short-term is about learning what they’ve done to make things go so well.” Green will likely move his Conarium brand down into the East Montecito Street facility in the near future, as well.

As for the long term, Jaffurs hopes that his great wines will get even better with Green’s infusion of energy and that his legacy will continue to remain relevant in the decades to come. “This is a really good thing for the winery and for me,” said Jaffurs.“It means the winery and everything we’ve worked on will live to fight another day, and that’s just terrific.” n

Sip This RIVERBENCH 2013 RESERVE CHARDONNAY HARDONNAY: Of the delicious handful of chardonnays that Clarissa Nagy makes for Riverbench, nothing pleases quite like this reserve. Their goal was to add some oak (50 percent new French) for flavor and structure yet not create a butter bomb, and Riverbench nailed it, creating a luscious, creamy white with enough acidity to make this a perfect food wine, too (think anything from fetfet tuccine alfredo to lemon-caper sole).

This bottle argues for the glories of Santa Maria Valley chardonnay: complex (think nutty notes, a bit of baking spice), fruity (pear edging to apple), and perhaps even a salty hint of the not-too-distant Pacific. It’s anything but ordinary and enough to convert even die-hard red wine drinkers.

Voices of Where

10 West Gallery T

a New approach to showiNg art oN aNapamu

he Santa Barbara Arts District welcomed a new gallery at 10 West Anapamu Street this spring when Jan Ziegler and 20 other artists, many of them members of the city’s Abstract Art Collective, pooled their resources and took over the lease of a spacious storefront that formerly housed a travel store. In a departure from the dealer-based business models of some other galleries nearby, the approach at 10 West involves artists directly. Rather than having to negotiate for inclusion in various themed group shows or wait for that elusive and perhaps inefficient solo exhibition, the artists in the current group of 21 exhibiting members each get to show a significant number of works on a regular basis throughout the year. “Some artists show every other month,” Ziegler told me, “while others show every third month.” Although guest artists are also represented from time to time, the primary goal is to give consistent exposure to the people who have made a commitment to the enterprise.

While it is a cooperative gallery, Ziegler reports that at the first meeting, the group

voted unanimously to resist being associated with anything less than the highest professional standards when it comes to the use of the space and the design of the exhibitions.“Our vision was to be an ‘anti-cooperative’ with the look and feel of a clean modern gallery,” Zielger told me, emphasizing their goal to showcase work that is both abstract and representational, 2D and 3D, but always contemporary in style and presentation.

Ziegler, who also curates the MichaelKate showroom in the Funk Zone, is a secondgeneration Santa Barbara artist. Her dad, Bill Ziegler, was a working cartoonist who was for many years responsible for drawing the Mary Worth syndicated comic strip.

Bill Ziegler shared a studio on State Street with Bud Bottoms and worked closely with another prolific painter and printmaker, Gary Chafe. Growing up around such talent gave Jan Ziegler the confidence to make her living as a graphic designer in Austin, Texas, for 20 years before returning to her hometown with the hope of following in the family tradition by contributing to the city’s arts community.

Current members of the 10 West group include Karin Aggeler, Sophie MJ Cooper, Marilyn McRae, Karen Zazon, Madeline Garrett, Pat McGinnis, Laurie MacMillan, Rick Doehring, Beth Schmohr, Mary Dee Thompson, Maria Miller, Iben G. Vestergaard, Stephen Robeck, Pat Calonne, Marlene Struss, Joan Rosenberg-Dent, Diane Giles, Stuart Ochiltree, Henry Rasmussen, and Penny Schuchman Arntz. Followers of the Santa Barbara art scene will recognize many of the names here, as the list reads like a page torn from a who’s who of our elite contemporary artists. Whether you are looking for one of Rosenberg-Dent’s marvelous geometric/kinetic tabletop pieces or an earthier, fossil-like abstraction by Arntz, now there’s a place to see and acquire the work of great contemporary sculptors like these on a regular basis. The range in painting is equally large and compelling, with Vestergaard’s shimmering abstractions sharing this month’s harvest with Cooper’s realistic New York cityscapes and undulating images from the brushes of Struss.

Good CharloTTe

There’s something refreshingly low-tech about the Washington group’s 24th album. Vocalist Buzz Osborne and drummer Dale Crover remain the only constants across 33 years. Basses boasts several bassists, including Red Kross’s Steven Shane McDonald and Nirvana’s Kris Novoselic (also on accordion!). The sludge rock doesn’t get sludgier than on the dirge-y opener “The Decay of Lying” and “Beer Hippie,” nor more melodic than their cover of the Beatles’ “I Want to Tell You” (ending with in-joke lyric, “The walrus was Steven”). Opening with a Cowboy Junkies “Sweet Jane”–quality percussion, the trippy “Planet Destructo” segues from The Brian Jonestown Massacre outtake to bebop. They also goof on old chestnuts “Shaving Cream” and “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Traversing between punk and metal yet handcuffed to neither, King Buzzo’s band still delivers something fun and alive.

—Michael Aushenker

While nothing beats raw, unadulterated punk, there are few genres worse than pop punk, which, at its lowest, resembles whiny emo rock.

Youth Authority doesn’t plunge Good Charlotte that low, but comes close after opener “Life Changes.” Nostalgic for Snoop & Dre, “40 Oz. Dream” delivers a sarcastic, AutoTuned assessment of today’s boring selfie culture (“Rappers were singing and rockers deejaying / There was no guitar on the songs that they’re playin’”). Yet Charlotte’s soft heart beats within sappy relationship songs (“Stray Dogs,” “Life Can’t Get Much Better”).

The introspective “Reason to Stay” (boasting bombastic “whoa-oa-oa-ho” choruses) sounds readymade for the Bill & Ted 3 soundtrack. “Now all the punk rockers are over 40 / They’re coaching Little League and reading stories,” Joel Madden laments. If this anthemic, anemic album should be believed, hardcore was unsustainable; pop-punk, inevitable.

Youth authoritY

Santa Barbara native (and Independent staffer) Richie DeMaria has been making ambient-plus electronic music in the tradition of Brian Eno and Harold Budd for several years now. But it wasn’t until he spent all of January, the darkest month of winter, in Haukijärvi, Finland, that he put his tracks together into two separate releases now available on Bandcamp under the artist name Voices of Where.

Vast and Dawns & Dusks reflect both a longstanding practice of modular composition involving the recording and archiving of hundreds of synthesizer samples and the unique atmosphere that DeMaria encountered as a residential fellow of the Arteles Creative Center, an interdisciplinary Finnish think tank with the suggestive motto “Silence Awareness Existence.” More than 220 kilometers north of Helsinki, and with the nearest town of any size being Nokia, which is still more than 30 km to the south, Haukijärvi is in many ways about as far as you can get from Santa Barbara. Yet through the recommendation of his musical collaborator, the Los Angeles–based interdisciplinary artist Geneva Skeen, DeMaria was asked to spend a month there working on his music, meeting with other artists also in residence at the center, and enjoying some of the most unusual climate conditions on the planet. “In an average day, there was about six hours of real daylight sandwiched between these prolonged periods of dawn and dusk,” DeMaria told me.

And how cold was it? “One day the temperature hit 25 degrees below zero Fahrenheit,” he said.

The resulting music, while redolent of the snowbound mystical state of timelessness one imagines coming out of such circumstances, is nevertheless somehow also viscerally tactile and saturated with humanity (his brother Anthony and friend Sarah Hopkins contributed live instrumentation remotely).

DeMaria describes the Voices of Where sound as bringing an improvisatory aesthetic to electronic music so that it “reflects lived experience rather than the digital grid” of 21st-century recording technology. The goal, which after multiple listenings I can attest has been achieved, is to make “songs that evoke peace.”

Voices of Where’s Vast and Dawns & Dusks are available on Bandcamp to stream or purchase as a digital download. Visit voicesofwhere.bandcamp.com. —CD

Views from the NorTh At the Arts Fund Gallery. Shows through September 17.

T

his exciting show curated by Allan Hancock College professor John Hood makes a strong case for Santa Barbara’s North County as a burgeoning multimedia art scene. Ranging widely in geography, style, and subject matter, these eight artists —Larry Delinger, Felicia Kincaid, Angelina La Pointe, Connie Rohde, Robert C. Perry, Jonas Tucker, Mark Velasquez, and Luis Ramirez—nevertheless exhibit certain common interests and tendencies. As can be seen in all three of Kincaid’s superb paintings, “Circus Train,” “Amusement Park,” and “Carnival,” as well as several of the other artists’ pieces, there’s a shared commitment to an abstraction which allows for the deconstruction of complex, multilayered experiences, presenting familiar graphical elements in new ways. Kincaid, who has distilled the essence of cubism into a distinctive personal language, is a worthy heir to the artistic spirit of Channing Peake.

Rohde offers some of the show’s most visceral moments with her gorgeous, irresistible amplified brush strokes on Dura-Lar panels.

Rohde’s thoughtful calibration of media to image lends pieces like “One Stroke Swirl in Red” an unusual piquancy. These paintings are as spicy and fresh as the most delicious peppers in a Los POT WITH POINTS: This black walnut pot Alamos garden. featuring ornamental silk floss thorns is one of the Speaking of wellworks by Robert C. Perry included in Views from the North at the Arts Fund. integrated matches between materials and matter, don’t miss the three touching portraits of farmworker “Cara” by Ramirez. Ramirez, who was born in Mexico and grew up a part of the agricultural community in rural Santa Ynez, brings an insider’s eye to these intimate acrylics painted on wood. La Pointe’s beautiful and clever linoleum block print series of Guilty Pleasures offers another fine example of how viewing things “from the North” seems to involve ironic juxtapositions between retro media filters and hyper-contemporary content. Who could possibly deny the status of “Guilty Pleasure #1” to the “Selfie,” complete here with an iPhone seen in the mirror?

Perry’s contributions are both so consistently excellent and so different from one another that at first I was reluctant to believe they were all the work of one person. From the marvelous abstract oil painting “Ironwood” to an exquisite watercolor rendering of the “Southland Hotel” façade, complete with aging neon sign, Perry has clearly achieved considerable mastery on both sides of the abstract/representational divide in two dimensions. But that’s not all — as Perry has also brought his painstaking attention to detail to bear on a pair of extraordinary turned black walnut vessels, “Black Walnut and Silk Floss Thorns I and II,” that would be proud additions to the cabinet of curiosities in the most mystically fantastic of castles.

Velasquez already has an avid audience for his dynamic color photography, and it seems as though the young draughtsman Tucker is developing one, as both were hot items among the buyers who attended the opening. Finally, distinguished musician/composer Larry Delinger’s mesmerizing collages were a personal favorite. These little books are full of some of the most delightful composite images since Max Ernst, and, as they each contain dozens of individual works, they constitute quite a bargain. Congratulations to the Arts Fund and in particular to Hood for producing such an eye-opening exhibit.

teLL it Like it iS N

ow entering its second decade, the Naked Shakes program UCSB’S Naked ShakeS at UCSB continues to offer PlayS exciting and innovative work that expands the range of what languagewith a LatiN tiNge driven, textually faithful Shakespeare productions can be. Following last

by Charles Donelan season’s monumental, Indy Award– winning The Death of Kings, Much Ado About Nothing, which opened this week, extends Naked Shakes director Irwin Appel’s vision of Shakespeare’s writing as a platform for creativity in the contemporary theater. Working closely with composer and pianist John Enrico Douglas, Appel and his student cast have crafted a show that’s more than just accompanied by live Latin music; it’s saturated with the sound and feelings of the global dance floor. A program note on the play’s location says it one way—“Setting: Messina (could be Cuba, could be Argentina, could be Miami, could be L.A., could be anywhere…)”— while in conversation, Appel put it in another, telling me that the show “starts with dancing, which then goes throughout,” adding that “the set is a dance floor, and one of the big scenes is a masquerade ball.” Credit this aspect of the production to another collaborating artist, UCSB professor Christina McCarthy, who provided the choreography for the whole show and designed the masks for the ball scene.

At the core of Much Ado About Nothing stand the bickering lovers Beatrice and Benedick. While it’s likely, given human nature, that without Shakespeare ever having created these characters and their technique of flirtation by insult, men and women would still be hitting on each other by KISSING CUSSERS: Maddie Martin portrays Beaputting each other down, trice and Zach Macias plays Benedict in the Naked there’s nevertheless no Shakes production of Much Ado About Nothing. question that Beatrice and Benedick bear significant responsibility for the fact that we feel obliged to do so with some style.

With senior BFA candidates Zachary Macias as Benedick and Maddie Martin as Beatrice, we are sure to get the full range of thrills out of some of Shakespeare’s most sparkling prose. Like Falstaff, the lovers speak in prose rather than iambic pentameter, and the unusual ratio of prose to verse in the play (70 percent of it is prose) is another thing that distinguishes Much Ado from Shakespeare’s other comedies.

This formal characteristic of Much Ado reflects something about the play’s themes, as well. Prose is associated with plain speaking and getting to the point, rather than talking in versified, metaphorical circles, and in his comedies, according to Appel,“Shakespeare liked to depict comic characters who tell it like it is; this is another way in which both Beatrice and Benedick are like Falstaff.” Ultimately, the story’s center of gravity resides with Beatrice, the trash-talking orphan whose gift for repartee comes with an edge of menace that’s not always hidden behind a humorous façade.

Consider her expostulation in the opening scene of Act IV upon learning that Claudio has broken off with his fiancée, Hero, over an unsubstantiated (and false) accusation of infidelity:“O God that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the market-place.” That Beatrice should be frustrated by the degree of dependency forced on women in a male-dominated society is to be expected; the ferocity of her response nevertheless takes one by surprise. It’s just this wild imaginative freedom, closely allied to but also distinguishable from her anger, that makes Beatrice one of Shakespeare’s most compelling figures. Trapped in a culture that gives her few options, she backs into love, cursing and insulting her partner all the way to the altar. When at the end Benedick succeeds in finally closing her scandalous mouth with a kiss, it’s still not clear that she has submitted to a system in which the men make all the rules, and this is why Much Ado About Nothing remains an iconic and even a proto-feminist classic.

Brandi Rose Not yet finished with high school, Brandi Rose already has a voice beyond her years. Her stirring vocals remind some listeners of Adele (her chief inspiration), and her singing has both graced S.B.’s recent Fourth of July celebrations and reverberated through the city’s parking lots — Rose has begun recording videos in them. Rose is in a state of developing her creative voice, embarking on a songwriting trajectory, and she credits the very community that shaped this show as her greatest teachers. “My mentality has really grown from all my elders in the music community,” she said. The stunningly talented Rose is evidence that Perry’s hard work has paid off.“Roger has been a really, really helpful guy; he’s put on many shows and helped me to get out there and be who I am today,” she said, also citing Spencer the Gardener as a mentor.“I’m very excited to see how this is all gonna be.”

’m falling hard for Diane Coffee. He’s the genreand gender-busting singer who completely absorbed the Napster zeitgeist of ’60s and ’70s music and is descending on Velvet Jones on August 23 with his new Bloomington, Indiana–based band to fearlessly perform his new album, Everybody’s a Good Dog, a unique mash-up of psychedelia, Motown, and pure ecstatic theatrical flamboyancy.

Diane Coffee, aka Shaun Fleming, drummer of Foxygen and former Disney child voice actor, mines a double-edged persona that flips genders mid-voice at a drop of a hat. His singing effortlessly moves from feminine to masculine styles.

“I’ve always been heavily influenced by people who have multiple voices, multiple stylings. Like Tom Waits has three or four different voices; even Bob Dylan has a few,” he told me in a recent interview.

Fleming is kind of local, born just north of Los Angeles, hung out in Ventura and S.B., and then moved to Bloomington, Indiana, the mid-America musical capital and a new cultural oasis in the middle of a lot of corn.

“I’m a child of the theater, and the fluid gender thing is something I’ve been interested in for as long as I remember. It’s just a part of who I am, so it doesn’t come across as being campy. I like to play in that world, explore both the masculine and feminine, not as a crutch or a shtick. I don’t think about it too much,” he said.

Fleming has developed a creative space to write and perform in that resets our expectations about love songs. His lyrics treat sex as role and persona.

His inherent open-gender approach freshens our understanding of male-female relationships.

I guess I already got my crazy experimental every genre and every category. That’s why my styling record out of the way,” he said.

And what about the name, Diane Coffee? Well, it’s is so eclectic.”

None of that prepares you for the sheer fun of his part of Flemings’s goal to honor unknown cultish singer/ performances. “I have the most fun playing live. It’s songwriter Nathan Pelkey’s song “Mr. Coffee.” There’s an always strange to me seeing people who seem so down odd, free-form partial documentary on YouTube about onstage. I love bringing emotion to people,” he said. He’s Pelkey if you care to check it out.

I might be one of a handful and I want everyone else to have as much fun as I’m of people who have these recordings.” having,” he said.

Eclectic, flamboyant, joyful, and fresh, Fleming’s pure Because of his early background as a voice actor joy and madcap love of performing are guaranteed to in films and television series such as Kim Possible, he’s make Diane Coffee worth watching.

Tv, ChesTnuTs, and RubbeR MOnsTeRs Walk Down Memory Lane with Nostalgic Television

O

n the Fourth of July, not everybody went to the beach.

The sun-averse among us assembled snacks and binged indoors, replacing sol, surf, and fireworks with television nostalgia.

We had choices: The Syfy channel offered a whole day of The Twilight Zone episodes, while Fox had The Simpsons reruns; another cable channel showed The Three Stooges all day, while the wildcard El Rey Network, owned by Tarantino comrade Robert Rodriguez, gave a full day to Godzilla, leaping nimbly from the men-in-rubber-suits era to the slightly less campy CGI-monsters-over-Tokyo battles, poorly dubbed from the lands where kaiju and mecha-monsters first nurtured children’s dreams. Giant Robot, I need you.

To explain why networks picked these particular shows would take a media sociologist or at least a fanboy philosopher, though I’d argue that The Twilight Zone and The Simpsons are among the best written television ever made, including The Wire. But really, you don’t have to wait for big holidays to relive the past glories of TV’s long, strange trip. Cox Cable offers at least four channels dedicated to television’s weird and golden past, while networks like Syfy pull together new programming and old. TV Land, for instance, services every generation of viewer with boomer titles such as Gilligan’s Island, Bonanza, and the strange, all-white southern town of Andy of Mayberry. Prefer more contemporary oldies? Hallmark, besides showing its own brand of inspirational family drama, gives us just that with Frasier, Home Improvement, Cheers (where everybody knows your name), and the ageless joys of I Love Lucy. Some channels, such as INSP, offer more square Americana like The Waltons

and Little House on the Prairie nearly 24 hours a day. The 1970s?

You’re soaking in it, honey.

Yesteryearing now includes the Clinton era, just in time for their rerun with America.

Both Seinfeld and its pallid derivative, Friends, can be seen daily on The Twilight Zone TBS. But the real proof of 1990s re-relevance emerged this month when VH1 Classic became MTV Classic, eschewing video for its old reality shows, but, even better, Beavis and Butt-Head and the pitch-perfect, teen-girl cartoon Daria — which is also slated for a live-action movie debut. It’s Gen Ecstasy.

For me, however, the weirder the better. Why not bring back the true cult shows of the past like Soupy Sales, Land of the Lost, and Time for Beany all on one channel? Call it “Captain Video and the Lost Airwaves” — Lost TV for short. But the cables do okay, and you can Gilligan’s Island find bizarro treasures. MyNetworkTV offers reruns of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in its entirety (that show reboots on Netflix this year). Doctor Who reruns, from the era when Tom Baker was the Doctor and Douglas Adams wrote the scripts, are on there, too. But the most stoner-resonant nostalgia is on the El Rey Network.

Robert Rodriguez’s channel always features kung fu, sword and sorcery, bad horror, and Japanese monsters.

What’s best about El Rey, however, are the contemporary commercials brought from some other quadrant of space-time. Maybe this is a golden age for new shows, but the ages that preceded it weren’t exactly made of coal. You can fall asleep in your Barcalounger with this stuff, dreaming of a world where Lucy could meet Louis C.K. and Godzilla might do Seinfeld battle with HBO dragons.

O Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World (98 mins.; PG-13) The world according to Werner Herzog — as maverick documentarian — is a thing of genuine awe and curiosity, plus an endless source of wry bemusement, whether dealing with Antarctica, Death Row, Grizzly Man, prehistoric caves, or, in his captivating new take on the virtual world. Taking on the massive subject of the Internet and its effect on daily planetary life, Herzog performs a dervish dance, from the “prehistoric” origins of the net to interviews with early adopters, visionaries and crackpots, and radio wave avoiders; a wary encounter with Elon “life on Mars” Musk; and big-picture observations from a cosmologist.

With more twisted flair than usual, Herzog ventures wide and weird, with his unique dry humor and soft-yet-intense Germanic voice as a familiar off-screen tour guide to a world gone both connected and frighteningly disconnected.

Don’t Think Twice (92 mins., R) Comedian Mike Birbiglia wrote, directed, and costars in this film about a popular New York City improv troupe whose dynamic is disrupted when one of their members gets a big break.

Pete’s Dragon (102 mins., PG) In this Disney remake of the 1977 film by the same name, forest ranger Grace Meacham (Bryce Dallas Howard) happens upon a young boy who has been living in the woods with a dragon named Elliot. When Grace tries to find out who Pete really is, dragon hunters make plans to capture Elliot.

Florence Foster Jenkins (110 mins., PG-13)

Real-life New York heiress and socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (1868-1944) dreamed of being an opera star— star despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune or sustain a note. Audiences turned up to be amused by the unwitting Jenkins singing. Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant star.

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo Gleason (110 mins., R) In 2011, former NFL safety Steve Gleason was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease and was given one to five years to live. Despite doctors’ predictions, Gleason is still alive today. This documentary was filmed during a five-year period while Gleason was living with the disease.

Plaza de Oro

Sausage Party (89 mins., R) In this spoof of Pixar films, one sausage sets out to discover the truth about how he came to be. It stars the vocal talents of Seth Rogan, Kristin Wiig, James Franco, and Jonah Hill, among others.

O The Secret Life of Pets

Anthropoid (120 mins., R) Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy star in this historical thriller based on the real-life mission — called Operation Anthropoid— to assassinate the Third Anthropoid Reich’s Final Solution architect SS General Reinhard Heydrich. Paseo Nuevo

O Bad Moms

(87 mins., PG)

A ragtag gang of pets go looking for their lost comrades in the big city, running away from dogcatchers — it’s a wonder that Disney didn’t get around to suing on behalf of Oliver & Company or Lady and the Tramp. But The Secret Life of Pets is a lot better than its derivative premise thanks to great animation, a swift-moving plot, and great character voices like Louis C.K., Jenny Slate, and Dana Carvey. (DJP) Fiesta 5 (2D)

Bad Moms

(101 mins., R)

It’s funny because it’s true, this comedy about the immense pressure of responsibilities and expectations facing modern mothers, starring Mila Kunis as an overworked, under-joyed mom who decides to live a little more freely. The jokes are good-natured if a little ordinary, and what it lacks in creative edge it makes up for in the pertinence and timeliness of its much-needed comic takedown of domestic inequalities.

(RD) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo Café Society (96 mins., PG-13) The pressing question with any new Woody Allen film: Where does it register in the ranks of his massive filmography? Café Society is neither a dazzler nor a dozer in the oeuvre, but it rewards a look-see, especially as a rare example of a period piece in sync with his obsessive ’30s-era musical tastes (e.g., Rodgers and Hart’s anthemic “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was”), flitting from the pre-World War II Hollywood scene to the gangster-ized N.Y.C. nightclub scene with a beauteous visual glow, and wildly varying degrees of dramatic-comic focus. It’s also a tale of three in love with Kristen Stewart— Stewart her mid-lifer agent boss (Steve Carell), his New Yorker nephew (Jesse Eisenberg), and Allen’s unabashedly smitten camera. (JW) Riviera

Captain Fantastic (118 mins., R) Viggo Mortensen returns to the screen in this drama about a man who has been raising his six kids to live off the land using intellect and physicality.

Conveniently Located • Free Parking • Outdoor Patio Friendly Service • Generous Portions Home of the worlds best ice cream & yogurt Indignation (110 mins., R) Based on the novel by Philip Roth, the story follows a working-class Jewish student (Logan Lerman) who attends a small Ohio college and experiences a sexual awakening when he meets a wealthy fellow student.

Plaza de Oro Jason Bourne (123 mins., PG-13) Welcome back to the gray-green world of Paul Greengrass’s mighty moneymaking Bourne franchise. This time our reluctant murdering semi-automaton and title hero has been fished out of obscurity by Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) so he can disrupt the cowardly CIA from corrupting an idealist of the Silicon Valley persuasion. The plot is as murky as the director’s vision: Even Las Vegas seems like an existential destination, though the car chase through downtown and The Strip livens up the Bourne self-repeating plot mechanism.

(DJP) Camino Real/Metro 4 Nine Lives (87 mins., PG) Kevin Spacey plays Tom Brand, an uptight, workaholic businessman who buys a cat for his daughter’s 11th birthday. It turns out the cat is magical, and soon Tom finds himself trapped inside the kitty and learns what a wonderful family he has. Jennifer Garner and Christopher Walken also star. Fiesta 5

O Star Trek Beyond

(122 mins.; PG-13)

Something is amiss in deep space, and it isn’t the trouble with Tribbles. Kirk and Spock are suffering existential doubts. Kirk thinks his life has become “episodic”; Spock wants off to pursue his Vulcan-ness. That is until the USS Enterprise is drawn into a tricky nebula inhabited by a new evil and unexpected technologies. Written in part by Simon Pegg, who also plays Scotty, this one has an action scene worth the price of admission — it’s so wild Spock even laughs. (DJP)

Suicide Squad (123 mins., PG-13) What hurts the most about this muchanticipated anti-superhero movie’s abject failure is that it was made by David Ayer, who directed the tense, thrilling Fury. This is all flab: despite some great work by Margot Robbie and Will Smith, Suicide Squad feels like a long, discursive intro followed by a prolonged preface, until we realize this gunk is going to be the movie. By then it’s all over with no winners or losers, a genre deconstruction that (to put it politely) makes everything worse. (DJP)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of august 18 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Can you imagine feeling at home in the world no matter where you are? If you eventually master this art, outer circumstances won’t distort your relationship with yourself. No matter how crazy or chaotic the people around you might be, you will remain rooted in your unshakable sense of purpose; you will respond to any given situation in ways that make you both calm and alert, amused and curious, compassionate for the suffering of others and determined to do what’s best for you. If you think these are goals worth seeking, you can make dramatic progress toward them in the coming weeks.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): As I tried to meditate on your horoscope, my next-door neighbor was wielding a Weedwhacker to trim her lawn, and the voices in my head were shouting extra loud. So I decided to drive down to the marsh to get some high-quality silence. When I arrived at the trailhead, I found an older man in ragged clothes leaning against the fence. Nearby was a grocery cart full of what I assumed were all his earthly belongings.“Doing nothing is a very difficult art,” he croaked as I slipped by him, “because you’re never really sure when you are done.” I immediately recognized that his wisdom might be useful to you. You are, after all, in the last few days of your recharging process. It’s still a good idea for you to lie low and be extra calm and vegetate luxuriously. But when should you rise up and leap into action again? Here’s my guess: Get one more dose of intense stillness and silence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My readers have a range of approaches for working with the counsel I offer. Some study the horoscopes for both their sun signs and rising signs and then create do-it-yourself blends of the two. Others prefer to wait until the week is over before consulting what I’ve written. They don’t want my oracles to influence their future behavior, but enjoy evaluating their recent past in light of my analysis.

Then there are the folks who read all 12 of my horoscopes. They refuse to be hemmed in by just one fore-

cast, and want to be free to explore multiple options.

I encourage you to try experiments like these in the coming days. The moment is ripe to cultivate more of your own unique strategies for using and interpreting the information you absorb — both from me and from everyone else you listen to.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Have you been drinking a lot of liquids? Are you spending extra time soaking in hot baths and swimming in bodies of water that rejuvenate you? Have you been opening your soul to raw truths that dissolve your fixations and to beauty that makes you cry and to love that moves you to sing? I hope you’re reverently attending to these fluidic needs.

I hope you’re giving your deepest yearnings free play and your freshest emotions lots of room to unfold.

Smart, well-lubricated intimacy is a luxurious necessity, my dear. Stay very, very wet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my opinion, you need to bask in the glorious fury of at least one brainstorm — preferably multiple brainstorms over the course of the next two weeks. What can you do to ensure that happens?

How might you generate a flood of new ideas about how to live your life and understand the nature of reality? Here are some suggestions: Read books about creativity. Hang around with original thinkers and sly provocateurs. Insert yourself into situations that will strip you of your boring certainties. And take this vow: “I hereby unleash the primal power of my liberated imagination.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you were a child, did you play with imaginary friends? During your adolescence, did you nurture a fantasy relationship with a pretend boyfriend or girlfriend? Since you reached adulthood, have you ever enjoyed consorting with muses or guardian angels or ancestral spirits? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are in a good position to take full advantage of the subtle opportunities and cryptic invitations that are coming

your way. Unexpected sources are poised to provide unlikely inspirations in unprecedented ways.

LIBRA

Your desire to solve a knotty dilemma or shed a bad influence is admirable. Just make sure you choose a strategy that actually works.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you were born, you already carried the seeds of gifts you would someday be able to provide — specific influences or teachings or blessings that only you, of all the people who have ever lived, could offer the world. How are you doing in your quest to fulfill this potential? Here’s what I suspect: Your seeds have been ripening slowly and surely. But in the coming months, they could ripen at a more rapid pace. Whether they actually do or not may depend on your willingness to take on more responsibilities — interesting responsibilities, to be sure — but bigger than you’re used to.

CAPRICORN

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I suspect that you will soon be culminating a labor of love you’ve been nurturing and refining for many moons. How should you celebrate?

Maybe with some champagne and caviar? If you’d like to include bubbly in your revels, a good choice might be 2004 Belle Epoque Rose. Its floral aroma and crispy mouth-feel rouse a sense of jubilation as they synergize the flavors of blood orange, pomegranate, and strawberry. As for caviar: Consider the smooth, aromatic, and elegant roe of the albino beluga sturgeon from the unpolluted areas of the Caspian Sea near Iran. But before I finish this oracle, let me also add that a better way to honor your accomplishment might be to take the money you’d spend on champagne and caviar and instead use it as seed money for your next big project.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect that in the coming months you will be drawn to wandering through the frontiers and exploring the unknown. Experimentation will come naturally. Places and situations you have previously considered to be off-limits may be downright comfortable. In fact, it’s possible that you will have to escape your safety zones in order to fully be yourself.

Got all that? Now here’s the kicker. In the coming weeks, everything I just described will be especially apropos for your closest relationships. Are you interested in redefining and reconfiguring the ways that togetherness works for you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some species of weeds become even more robust and entrenched as they develop resistances to the pesticides that are designed to eradicate them. This is one example of how fighting a problem can make the problem worse — especially if you attack too furiously or use the wrong weapons. I invite you to consider the possibility that this might be a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming weeks.

Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES. The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 1-877-873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to compose an essay on at least one of the following themes: (1) “How I Fed and Fed My Demons Until They Gorged Themselves to Death.”

(2) “How I Exploited My Nightmares in Ways That Made Me Smarter and Cuter.” (3) “How I Quietly and Heroically Transformed a Sticky Problem into a Sleek Opportunity.” (4) “How I Helped Myself by Helping Other People.” For extra credit, Capricorn — and to earn the right to trade an unholy duty for a holy one — write about all four subjects.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): If you’re playing the card game known as bridge, you’re lucky if you are dealt a hand that has no cards of a particular suit. This enables you, right from the beginning, to capture tricks using the trump suit. In other words, the lack of a certain resource gives you a distinct advantage. Let’s apply this metaphor to your immediate future, Pisces. I’m guessing that you will benefit from what may seem to be an inadequacy or deficit. An absence will be a useful asset.

Homework: What’s the situation in your life where it’s hardest for you to be loving? Practice being a master of compassion there in the coming week.
