When Ray Ford writes about wildfire in Santa Barbara’s backcountry, the landmarks he refers to don’t come off a map. No matter how distant or hard to get to, they come out of his memory of hiking through, around, or over mountains, peaks, ridges, canyons, pools, and watercourses over the decades. Far from being as relaxed as he seems, after this photo was taken, Ray climbed back into his truck to gather more for his firsthand reports and photographs of the Rey Fire, all posted at independent.com. For any who wonder about typos, we can confirm that the fire was not meant to be named after Ray Ford.

A man arrested for suspected car burglary worked his way out of his handcuffs three times on the way to County Jail on 8/20. Sheriff’s deputies responding to Franciscan Court in Carpinteria arrested Sage Wyttenberg, 33, after locating him with stolen property in a creek bed. When Wyttenberg (pictured) was free of his ’cuffs, he struck the deputies with a large industrial fan shroud and a pipe.

The deputies used a Taser and “impact weapons” as Wyttenberg ran. Believed to be high on stimulants, the suspect was restrained after more deputies arrived. He was treated for multiple injuries at Cottage Hospital and booked at County Jail with $500,000. sbso

FORMIDABLE QUIVER: As incident officials call on more resources to protect the Santa Ynez watershed (including Upper Oso Campground, pictured) from the Rey Fire and its aftermath, the effort now includes 88 engines, 43 hand crews, 32 water tenders, 27 dozers, six air tankers, two VLATs (Very Large Air Tankers), and two lead planes.

across Old Man and Little Pine mountains, and to the east past Indian Creek. “They’re hoping to hold the east flank at Mono Creek,” said County Fire spokesperson Captain Dave Zaniboni. It’s also closing in on Ogilvy Ranch, where, on Tuesday, a Santa Barbara County Fire Department crew wrapped the historic house and outbuildings with protective fire foil.

To the south, incident commanders aim to keep the blaze well away from the Santa Ynez

AUGUST 25, 2016

River and Paradise Road, where more than 300 people from dozens of homes, campgrounds, recreation areas, and Los Prietos Boys Camp, a teen probation facility, have been evacuated.

Paradise Road remains closed. On August 21, officials also closed East Camino Cielo Road to the general public as firefighting teams travel the narrow roadway to backcountry battle lines east of the fire.

“The priority is protecting the Santa Ynez watershed,” Los Padres National Forest Supervisor Bob Baird said at an August 23 press conference, where he announced that a Type I federal management team would take the reins that evening, as the fire grows bigger and more complex.

Tom Fayram, Santa Barbara County’s deputy director of water resources, explained that come rainy season, mountainsides and canyons destabilized by wildfire will send considerable sediment loads into Cachuma, a critical source of drinking water for the South Coast. After the 2007 Zaca Fire—the state’s fourth largest on record, at 375 square miles—sediment infill during wet winters drastically shrank the holding capacity of Gibraltar Reservoir —upstream from Cachuma—by “thousands of acre-feet,” Fayram said. He added that ashladen rain runoff is also more difficult for water-treatment facilities to process.

“In terms of priority statewide, we’re number two right now,” said Fire Information Officer Richard Hadley with the newly installed Type I team. Only the minimally contained Cedar Fire, which threatcont’d page 10  pau l wel lm an

by K e i t h h a m m ince the inception of the Rey Fire on August 18, seasonal weather patterns — morning winds out of the east and southeast that reverse direction each hot afternoon — have blown up the blaze as it advances across Santa Barbara County’s rugged backcountry, brittle from five years of historic drought. By the morning of August 24, the wildfire had consumed 31,255 acres, all of them north of the Santa Ynez River as it parallels Paradise Road. Containment is at 34 percent, and the number of personnel assigned to the fire has grown to more than 1,700. One injury — a case of dehydration — has been reported, and no structures have been damaged. The estimated suppression cost so far is $8.6 million.

Investigators with Los Padres National Forest have pinpointed White Rock picnic area as the fire’s starting point.

From there, the wind-driven blaze quickly spread into adjacent private property belonging to Rancho San Fernando Rey. Unconfirmed estimates hold that the fire has burned roughly a third of the ranch’s 30,000 acres. Calls to ranch headquarters were not returned.

As bulldozers and hand crews work the chaparral, and aircraft drop water and retardant, firefighting efforts have held the western flank at Horse Canyon, just northwest of Lake Cachuma. The remaining uncontrolled line is burning deep in the backcountry northward

‘it iit used to be we had a fire season.

Now it’s 24/7, 12 months out of the year.’

When an odd-looking object appeared on the doorstep of a house on North Oleander Place in Lompoc, the resident called police for what looked like a pipe bomb. Streets were closed and residents were evacuated or asked to shelter in place until a Sheriff’s Bomb Squad robot determined all was safe.

Officers later learned the object was a fastpitch training device that a softball coach had left at the wrong address.

city Sansum Clinic’s Urgent Care center is moving from Hitchcock Way to Pesetas Lane at the junction of Calle Real and Highway 154. The move on 8/28 is part of Sansum’s plan to expand its primary and urgent care services at the Pesetas Multi-Specialty Clinic, said Sansum CEO Dr. Kurt Ransohoff, and “better serve our patients’ needs.” The new space will offer more parking and easier access to bus lines and the freeway, he noted. Urgent Care’s hours of operation will remain the same: Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

One side effect of the city’s ongoing cleanout of its pipe system in these drought times may be dirty-looking water coming out of the tap. The flushed water — to remove accumulated sediment and mineral deposits — customarily flows onto the streets, but the city has hired ValveTek to first filter then recirculate the water back into the system to minimize loss. The brownish water is not a health hazard, the water department reassures. To eliminate it, the city advises running an outdoor hose onto thirsty landscaping — or otherwise capture it for future use — until the water runs clear. Call City Water at 564-5413 if it doesn’t.

Goleta Council a-Go-Go

The City of Goleta’s five-member City Council has two seats going empty in December, as Tony Vallejo and Jim Farr’s terms lapse. Vallejo has filed to run again in the November election for the four-year seat, but Farr has decided against it. By email, Farr explained that a stroke last year “laid me low,” and his recovery has been slower than expected.

In the first contested election in Goleta in six years, incumbent Vallejo is running alongside Kyle Richards, a budget analyst for the UCSB Academic Senate and Goleta Parks and Recreation Commission member; Dave Haws, a real estate broker who worries about water, overdevelopment, and Old Town; Stuart Kasdin, a consultant on public policy and administration issues; and Aaron Swaney, a businessperson who runs a print shop at UCSB and in Goleta.

Also on the ballot is a measure to decide whether to vote directly for mayor, which would change the number of councilmembers to four. Usually, but not always, the mayor and mayor pro tem are nominated by fellow councilmembers at their first meeting in December based on who got the greatest number of votes. The ballot also asks voters to choose whether the mayor would be in office for two or four years.

The Goleta Council seats nonpartisan members, but the state recently released figures dissecting voter enrollment, which has risen since January. In Goleta, registered voters went from 15,463 to 16,436, with Democrats registering the largest increase — about 12 percent (to 7,597 voters) compared to the Republican 3 percent increase (4,255). In Santa Barbara County, registration rose about 6 percent to 202,262 total voters, with Democrats increasing by about 13 percent (to 86,401 voters), and Republicans about 4 percent (58,632). In both areas, independent and Green voter — Jean Yamamura numbers decreased.

More than two years after vintner Blair Pence (pictured) of Pence Ranch requested that the boundary of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation be shifted east to incorporate his vineyard and two others — a move that angered many winemakers already within the famous region — the federal government approved the expansion this week, adding 2,296 acres to the existing 33,380 acres. “Obviously we are pleased with the outcome, but not surprised,” said Pence, whose grapes can now fetch a higher price. Wes Hagen, who helped create the Sta. Rita Hills initially in 2001, was one of the most vehement critics of the expansion in 2014. But he’s mellowed considerably since, explaining, “I hope we can move forward and continue to make great wine that brings people together at table.”

environment Following the May decision by two federal agencies to approve offshore fracking, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) filed on 8/22 a notice of intent to sue the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement for violating the Endangered Species Act. A statement from the CBD claims both bureaus failed to consult with expert wildlife agencies about the dangers to coastal species from fracking. CBD attorney Kristen Monsell acknowledged the notice hopes to persuade the bureaus to assess fully the effects of fracking chemicals and industry support vessels on marine species, including Santa Barbara’s snowy plover population.

As the deadline for pulling school board candidacy paperwork closed on 8/17, all three candidates were assured a position with the Santa Barbara Unified School District. Starting in December, the new board members will be Laura Capps, Wendy SimsMoten, and Jackie Reid. Stepping down are Ed Heron, Pedro Paz, and Gayle Eidelson. A fourth seat on the five-member board will open up if Monique Limón wins her bid for State Assembly; Limon is widely considered a shoo-in to replace outgoing Assemblymember Das Williams. Her replacement will be appointed by the new board after the first of the year. The election is 11/8.

The California Supreme Court refused to review a controversial teacher tenure case, granting a victory for the state’s teachers’ unions. “This was a just decision by the California Supreme Court,” Karen McBride, president of the Santa Barbara Teachers Association, said in an email. “Educators’ employment rights were upheld today as there was no connection established that these rights harm students.” The lawsuit’s plaintiffs, a Silicon Valley–backed group called Students Matter, argued tenure laws protect bad teachers. They vowed to keep fighting.

people The Federal Reserve Board has chosen Janet Garufis, president and CEO of Montecito Bank & Trust, as president of the national Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council (CDIAC) for 2017. That council is composed of reps from the 12 regional Federal Reserve Bank CDIACs; in 2015, Garufis chaired the one for the 12th District, headquartered in San Francisco and representing a nine-state area. The national CDIAC she will preside over advises the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve on lending conditions, the area economy, and other issues relevant to community banks in meetings held twice annually in Washington, D.C. n

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY: Nick Turner, new general manager for the Montecito Water District, has his hands full.

No bite, No trout Rescue Effort Comes Up Empty; Montecito Waters Roil

A

by N i C K W e l s h

n emergency rescue effort of rainbow trout in Jameson Lake — owned and operated for the exclusive use of the Montecito Water District—came up with zero fish last week despite the best efforts of 12 trained personnel with the U.S. Forest Service and California Fish and Wildlife.

Rainbow trout are genetically identical to — though different from — the federally endangered steelhead trout, and the protosteelhead of Jameson are considered among the least adulterated representatives of the species in the county. (Steelhead are distinguished by the trek they make out to sea and back to the coastal creeks and rivers where they were spawned; rainbow, by contrast, remain landlocked their entire lives.)

With Jameson’s water level plunging, dissolved oxygen levels have dipped below what’s minimally acceptable for the trout. The rescue squads were equipped with rod-andreel fishing tackle and barb-free hooks. They used no bait. There were a few nibbles, but no bites. Perhaps it was the lack of bait, the abundance of minnows in the water for the trout to chomp on, or the low oxygen counts, said district manager Nick Turner, but the fish were notably less active than expected. They were, however, present and detected. Turner said the two agencies would figure out what to try next — netting, low-level electroshock stunning, or more fishing but with bait.

Turner also took exception to statements made by UCSB hydrologist Dr. Hugo Loaiciga, who said the Montecito Water District’s groundwater basins were in overdraft and experiencing seawater intrusion. Loaiciga’s report had been commissioned by the California Coastal Commission and was relied upon two weeks ago when the commission unanimously rejected a private well application sought by Montecito resident and UC Regent Hadi Makarechian.

Turner said he had not read the report but noted that recent well tests showed the level of chloride—an indicator for seawater presence —is well below regulatory thresholds. As far as overdraft is concerned, Turner said studies from the 1990s established the safe yield— the average amount that could be withdrawn independent.com

annually from the district’s three basins — to be 1,640 acre-feet a year. The district, he stated, only pumps 500 acre-feet of water a year.

According to Loaiciga, the safe yield for Montecito’s Basin Three, the district’s most productive, is 409 acre-feet a year, not the 700 cited by Turner for an earlier report. In addition, Loaiciga estimated that private well owners are sucking up 700-1,000 acre-feet annually. Turner said it’s all but impossible to estimate the total amount pumped by Montecito’s private wells because they’re not metered, and most are used only occasionally for landscaping purposes.

In the meantime, the drought has exacted a political toll on the Montecito Water District.

Earlier this year, rumors abounded of a possible campaign to recall incumbent boardmembers. That never materialized, but for the first time in many years, there will be a genuinely contested election for the two seats up for grabs this November.

Incumbent Charles Newman, a successful attorney from the Midwest before settling in Montecito, is seeking reelection. Boardmember Jan Abel surprised many last week by announcing she would not seek reelection. Equally surprising was the announcement by Turner’s predecessor, former district manager Tom Mosby, that he was running.

So, too, is Tobe Plough, a private investor and longtime civic activist with politically conservative, government watchdog inclinations, and Floyd Wicks, a professional water consultant.

In response to some of the hot water in which the district has found itself over the drought, rate hikes, and rationing, a subcommittee of the water board met Monday and voted to spend up to $30,000 a year to hire a part-time public information coordinator.

Longtime community activist and Montecito resident J’Amy Brown showed up to oppose the idea.“There are all of three media in town, and the staff can’t handle the workload you three present?” Brown exclaimed.“You’ve got to be kidding me.” For that money, she added, the board could deduct the $82 monthly drought surcharge she and all water district customers are now paying for as many as 353 n months.“Give me a break,” she said.

Across the state, according to CalFire reports, 10,000 personnel are battling six major wildfires, including the active Chimney Fire, which has charred 65 structures and more than 40,000 acres near Lake Nacimiento in San Luis Obispo County. On August 22, firefighters reached full containment of the Blue Cut Fire, which burned for seven days in San Bernardino County. Scorching 36,274 acres and destroying 321 structures, including 105 homes, the Blue Cut now ranks as the 20th most destructive wildfire in California history, at an estimated cost of $12.3 million, as of August 23.

Close to home,“This has been a very challenging fire season for Los Padres,” Baird said. The Rey Fire is the fourth wildfire to ravage Los Padres lands this year, after Santa Barbara’s Sherpa Fire (7,474 acres), Ojai’s Pine Fire (2,304 acres), and Big Sur’s ongoing Soberanes Fire, which has burned nearly 90,000 acres. With more hot and windy days

Los Padres officials have not released the cause of the Rey Fire, but they did surround White Rock picnic area with bright yellow “Fire Origin” tape. Within, a large oak tree lay across power lines, and two power poles n were down.

A curious kid, he would wander into strangers’ houses on the Westside. By age 13, he was shooting up. Today, the 48-year-old, who has been clean since last December, has a plaque on his wall of the 40 or so people he knows who died from an overdose.

That painful reality has gotten worse in recent years in Santa Barbara County.

This year, Santa Barbara is on track to match 2015’s figures, with 29 confirmed overdose deaths through June, plus a handful of cases still pending coroner’s reports.

Fueled by the mass marketing of OxyContin beginning in 1995, the U.S. has become obsessed with the idea of pain and a pain-free existence, said John Doyel, the county’s alcohol and drug expert. For decades, doctors were undertreating pain, but in the past 15 or so years, the pendulum has swung the other way, and opioids started to be overprescribed. That trend, coupled with the rising prices of these pills and the availability of cheap heroin out of Mexico, created the country’s heroin epidemic.

Hoisting the Top Beam; $33 Million Raised

I

by N i C K W e l s h t became the custom during Scandinavia’s pagan past for builders to place a tree on the top beam as a finishing touch for whatever structure they were erecting, to appease any natural spirits disturbed by the work. This week, a gathering of Santa Barbara movers and shakers assembled to watch 12 burley construction workers invoke that tradition.

The workers flipped a 45-foot-long steel beam — inscribed with the signatures of those assembled — on its side, planted an evergreen tree into a ceremonial aluminum bucket attached on one end with an American flag on the other, hoisted the whole thing skyward, and bolted it to the top of what will soon become Santa Barbara’s new Cancer Center.

The event marked the completion of the new three-story medical facility’s steel and concrete exoskeleton that was inspired, at least visually, by the sweeping stone walls and tall windows of Yellowstone National Park’s iconic Ahwahnee Hotel. It also marked the end of an ambitious “silent” fundraising campaign that generated $33 million.

When all is said and done, the new cancer center — to be named after philanthropist Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree—will have cost $68 million to buy, build, and equip with stateof-the-art radiation machines that will be safely ensconced behind concrete walls eight feet thick.

The top floor — commanding the best views — will be reserved for those undergoing the miraculous tortures of chemotherapy, the bottom floor set aside for those absorbing the precise bombardment of radiation therapy. The middle floor will be occupied by offices for oncologists and surgeons, though no surgery will take place on the premises. The second floor will provide space for genetic counseling; the sale of wigs, hats, and prosthetics; and a host of social services and alternate treatments, such as acupuncture, yoga, massage, and painting.

Cancer Foundation executive director Rick Scott said the idea for a new facility had been germinating since 2001, inspired in part by a dramatic shift in cancer treatment away from in-patient care to outpatient medicine.

In that same time, Scott said, medical spe-

cialists who previously worked in isolation began collaborating more. For example, the treatment of women with breast cancer now starts with group meetings involving oncologists, surgeons, and radiologists. Such active integration has not always been the case. Once the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara begins operating out of just one location—as opposed to three sites now—the hope is to expand that approach from breast cancer to prostate and colorectal cancers, and beyond.

Fifteen years ago, Scott said, the center discovered 60 percent of its patients were pursuing alternate wellness therapies. “And about 60 percent of our patients were not telling their doctors about this,” he added.

Given the potential for incompatible treatments, he said, that could prove problematic. In response, the center conducted research on the most effective “alternative” approaches and has integrated them into its offering. Medical marijuana, however, is not on the menu and won’t be anytime soon.

Also driving the need for space are projections that the over-65-year-old patient population will grow by 35 percent in the next decade. In addition, the Cancer Center —which merged with Sansum Clinic in 2012 —is positioning itself as a regional treatment hub, drawing clients from far beyond the immediate environs.

Making it all happen thus far are the $33 million in donations. Leading the charge for the new facility has been businessperson and philanthropist Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree, whose deceased husband, Paul, had been a patient of the Cancer Center. Sansum CEO Dr. Kurt Ransohoff recalled first visiting Ridley-Tree to explain the new plans for the Cancer Center. “Are you going to ask me for money today?” he recalled Ridley-Tree asking.“No, not today,” he replied. She shot back, “No, I think you should ask me for money today. I think you should ask me for money now.” “And I did,” he told the small crowd.

“I’m not that stupid.”

Initially, Ridley-Tree pledged $5 million.

Then she jumped it to $8.2 million. Ultimately, she donated $10.7 million. RidleyTree kept her remarks brief. “It will help to n give comfort,” she said.

Larry McMullen

04/20/49-07/23/16

A loving father and husband, Larry McMullen passed away from early-onset Alzheimer’s on July 23, 2016. Born on April 20, 1949, Larry was a Santa Barbara native and graduate of Santa Barbara High.

His presence will be remembered in the Santa Barbara Harbor where he spent much of his life as a commercial fisherman. As we look upon the oceans and seas of this world, our love for him will forever fill our hearts. He was brave, strong, and loyal, and had a good heart. Larry is survived by his wife, daughter, and three half sisters. He will be deeply missed by everyone he touched in his life. If you choose to do so you can make donations in his memory to the Alzheimer’s Association and/ or Heal the Ocean.

John Robert (J.R., Bob) Haller 09/21/30-08/17/16

John Robert (Bob) Haller, renowned California botanist, inspirational teacher, and mentor to so many, died on August 17, 2016, at home in Goleta, California. He passed peacefully in the presence of his beloved wife, Nancy Vivrette, while holding a pine cone and listening to music. Bob was internationally recognized for his work on pines but may be most remembered for the way he joyfully shared his love of the natural world with the rest of us – inspiring generations of botanists and avid naturalists.

Bob was born on September 21, 1930, in Santa Monica, California, to John and Wilhelmina Haller, parents who were enthusiastic about nature, camping, and gardening, and who encouraged independent thought and exploration. Bob and his younger brother, Norman, took trips with their parents all over the Los Angeles area during his early years, camping, driving, exploring new canyons and parks. Music was also an integral part of family life and remained a source of joy and solace to Bob throughout his life.

Bob attended UCLA, where he studied with such renowned 16

tHE INDEPENDENt

biologists as Dr. Mildred Mathias, Dr. Harlan Lewis, and others. During his graduate school years, Bob explored many of the highest Sierran peaks with the UCLA Geographic Society, meeting with the group on an annual basis over a 60-year period.

Bob obtained a PhD in 1957 after completing his dissertation on Pinus.

Immediately out of graduate school, Bob joined the faculty at the University of California at Santa Barbara as a professor of botany, a position he held until his retirement in 1994.

A generation or more of botanists owe their inspiration and careers to Bob (aka J.R.) Haller and his undergraduate course, Plants of California (Botany 103). Across the country and even the world, college professors, regulators, consultants, and field biologists continue to wax glowingly about a one-of-a-kind college course that opened their eyes to both beauty and science.

Bob’s pine studies provide documentation of variations of Pinus ponderosa, Pinus jeffreyi, Pinus washoensis, and Pinus torreyana, throughout their geographical ranges. This work took Bob and Nancy all over California over a course of decades, as well as north to Canada, east to North Dakota, and south to Mexico and Guatemala in search of ancestral populations. His work has been lauded as pioneering, providing essential collections and baseline data spanning almost 70 years in a changing world; his collection of over 5,000 specimens from 300 localities is housed in the John Robert Haller Pine Collection at UCSB in the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER). He also collaborated on one of the first vegetation classification systems in California and was instrumental in helping to establish the acclaimed University of California Natural Reserve System that now protects approximately 130,000 acres of land in the state and is used for educational and research purposes.

Bob was a gifted photographer with a magnificent aesthetic sense that filled those lucky enough to view his multimedia presentations of the plants of California and other regions with awe and joy.

After retiring from UCSB, Bob served as the education botanist at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden along with his wife and botanical colleague, Dr. Nancy Vivrette, teaching classes, leading field trips, and continuing to inspire a new audience with a love of California’s floral splendor. While at the Botanic Garden, he and Dr. Robert Muller published Trees of Santa Barbara. He was honored as a Local Hero by The Santa Barbara Independent in 2001.

Bob had a long battle with Parkinson’s disease, amazing his doctors by forestalling the debilitating effects for so long through sheer force of will. Even in this, Bob has proved to be an inspiration to all who knew him.

Bob is survived by his brother, Norman Haller, and his wife, Nancy Vivrette, along with many nieces and nephews. A celebration of Bob’s life will be scheduled in the coming weeks at the Santa Barbara Botanic

Bill Shinn passed away August 17, 2016, at his home in Goleta, CA. Bill was born February 1, 1934, in Des Moines, IA, to Leroy Shinn and Mary Ellen (McCarthy) Shinn.

He graduated from Dowling High School and attended Drake University. Bill was a sergeant in the Marine Corps and served during the Korean Conflict. After being discharged, he worked for Union Oil Company and later went to barber school.

He then married his one true love, Janis, and they embarked on a life full of adventure. They moved to Goleta, CA, in 1961 where he established Fairview Barbers. He also served as facilities manager for the Fairview Shopping Center for many years.

Bill was the 1988 Goleta Man of the Year, and served his community in many ways. He was past president of Goleta Valley Community Center and served on the board for 27 years, and he was a member of Santa Barbara Elks #613 for 47 years, an optimist, a member of the Goleta Valley Historical Society and the Goleta Valley Railroad Museum, and one of the originators of the Goleta Valley Lemon Festival. Bill never met anyone he did not want to help.

He and Janis loved to travel and take the back roads, snow and water ski, play tennis, and spend time at the beach. They cherished their time with family and friends at their Lake Nacimiento cabin.

Bill spent time building cars and boats and creating his own artwork.

Bill is survived by his wife, Janis, his 5 children: Vicky Derscheid (Ken), David Crocker (Lucille), Tom Crocker (Dee Dee), Kathy Morales (Martin), and Patrick Shinn; his 12 grandchildren: Kristen Derscheid, Mark Derscheid, Bryant Crocker, Erick Crocker, Emily Crocker, Melissa Pruden, Dustin Crocker, Maggie Crocker, Matthew Morales, Marcus Morales, Nathan Shinn, and Brandon Shinn; and 13 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by four sisters: Mary Therese Oliver of Katy, TX; Coleen Clark of Des Moines, IA; Maxine Olsen of Marquette, MI; and Patty Jo Hall of Ventura, CA. In 2013 Bill was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). He battled this disease with grace and dignity, and with the love and sup-

Jerry Thede passed away peacefully August 7, 2016, in Santa Barbara from complications of Parkinson’s Disease after a decades-long battle.

He was a devoted family man, a truly generous and loyal friend, and a professional of the highest integrity, compassion, and skill. He just wanted to be thought of as a “good man.”

Born in the small town of Dinuba, California, to Harry C. Thede and Nell Sewell Thede, Jerry was 3 when the family moved to the nearby metropolis of Madera where Jerry lived through high school.

Jerry and his older brother, Bob, (who died in 2007) were the first members of the family to attend college. Both attended Stanford University and Stanford Law School. Jerry was awarded his BA “with distinction” in 1950. Having commenced law school in his senior year, he graduated from Stanford Law School in 1952 and was elected to the Order of the Coif, a national honorary scholastic society that invites the top 10% of each graduating class to membership. Also in this class were future U.S. Supreme Court Justices William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O’Connor.

Upon graduation, Jerry accepted a position with the Santa Barbara law firm of Price, Postel and Parma, which traces its history back to 1852.

He practiced mainly in the area of estate planning and administration, and retired as the firm’s senior partner in 1998.

Jerry is survived by his wife, the former April Ravelle, whom he married in 1966 and with whom he was fortunate to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary earlier this year. He was the father by a former marriage of two sons — Eric, who was killed while attending the University of Oregon in 1976, and Jeff, who is also an estate planning attorney, practicing in Portland, Oregon. Jeff is married to Jan, and they are the parents of Justine (a third-generation estate planning attorney working with her dad in Portland) and Carsten (who works in advertising in San Francisco).

Opinions

obituaries continued Over the years, Jerry supported many nonprofit organizations by serving on the boards of Girls Club of Santa Barbara, Boys and Girls Club of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Association for Old Age Care, Montecito Retirement Associates (Casa Dorinda), Foundation for Santa Barbara City College, Music Academy of the West and Rotary Club. Lastly, he was an outstanding mentor for a child through the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.

As a man with many interests, Jerry was an instrument-rated pilot and flew on many tours with the Aviation Country Club of California and was a member of the Santa Barbara Club, Birnam Wood Golf Club and La Cumbre Golf and Country Club.

There will be a celebration of Jerry’s life from 4 to 6 pm on Sunday, September 18, 2016, at the Santa Barbara Club, 1105 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara. Contributions in Jerry’s memory may be made to Boys and Girls Club of Santa Barbara, 632 East Canon Perdido Street, Santa Barbara 93103.

hildren need a viewpoint of the world that is bigger than they are. Parents focus on the physical, mental, spiritual, and financial health of children, and I think we should be concerned equally with the health of our community. Parents model good eating habits, help with schoolwork, encourage outside activities, and share religious beliefs. When we teach and model how to build better communities, it not only creates a better to place to live, but children who learn how to build stronger communities gain the feeling that they can affect their futures—it’s the gift of self-responsibility and self-determination.

Involving children in volunteer work is the most effective way to teach them about a world that does not revolve around them. I volunteer for the Dream Foundation and the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation.

My daughter joined me on Flower Empower, a Dream Foundation program that prepares and delivers flower arrangements to homes, hospitals, and hospices.

Volunteer work need not be “heavy” to be meaningful. Children should choose what they do.

They’ll be happier, and their tenure will be longer.

Is your child interested in music? Sea life? Sports?

Reading? An Internet search will yield many possibilities. Volunteer work need not be with an organization. There’s bringing in the trash cans for a neighbor or participating in the food train for a family in mourning.

Volunteering gives a real feeling of joy. My 14-yearold and I still volunteer together, and she has branched out into activities of her own choosing. Watching her help create the world she’ll inherit is probably the most joyful feeling of all.

—Wells Hughes, S.B.

My sympathy goes for anyone who lives beside a noisy house. Whether short-term rentals create more noise problems is a different story, and one that is very easy to research. Are there many more complaints from neighbors of short-term rentals? I believe research already done on the subject showed no impact. If we do not trust the source of the results, the data exists and can be mined with ease.

Regarding the lack of long-term rentals in Santa Barbara, do we think that it is the responsibility of individual homeowners to solve the problem? This is an issue that needs more discussion, and more solutions need to be brought to the table. We no more can ask people to open their houses to others on a long-term basis so the city problems abate than we can demand from part-time residents to rent their houses while they are unoccupied.

I urge the City Council to have all citizens’ concerns in mind, to refrain from giving preference to Big Influencers, and to look creatively for solutions to the long-term rental problem. — Ruth Bar-Shalom, S.B.

egarding the issue of Airbnb and other shortterm rental permits in Santa Barbara, I understand that there are two issues at stake: (1) Potential problems of noise around the household’s short-term rentals; (2) How short-term rentals affect the availability and cost of long-term rentals in our city.

Geoffrey R. Johnson passed away on July 26, 2016, in Santa Barbara surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Braddock, Pennsylvania, June 30, 1936, the only child of Milburn and Anna Rose Johnson. He attended Wilkinsburg High School and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with honors. Directly out of college, North American Aviation hired him to work in the simulation laboratory. He developed software for flight-testing of early space programs. He knew many of the test pilots that flew the X-15 and other newly developed planes. At NAA he met his future wife, Patricia. They were married in 1960. He worked at Raytheon in Orange County until moving to Santa Barbara in 1969. Jeff and fellow co-workers Bob Danford and John Foondle founded Acroamatics in Santa Barbara in 1971. Originally located in what is now known as the Funk Zone. This company is still in existence after 45 years. Aside from his family he loved backpacking and travel, especially to Australia and Hawaii. He would recite poetry with just a bit of encouragement and often could be found humming classical music. He shared his love of reading, literature, theater and the outdoors with his wife, children and grandchildren. Geoffrey inspired all of us

Born in Santa Barbara her mother was a purebred Weimaraner, and her father was a Catahoula who climbed over a fence to reach his love. The parents of her mother were not amused, so Sandy and her siblings were placed into an adoption agency.

Raised in the town of Isla Vista for her first year, she then moved to Santa Ynez Valley to live at what some describe as “Dog Heaven,” Midland School. She lived a life of chasing squirrels and taking independent journeys with best pal Coulter, coming home looking like the two were up to no good, tails a wagging. She would often travel to students’ cabins looking for pats and treats and would on occasion take naps on their beds. In the summer when the rez was full, she would dive off the dock to swim after the floating tennis ball just thrown in. She journeyed across the country on an epic road trip as well as took small adventures to Lizard’s Mouth while her human companion climbed. In town, most would know her name, but not her human companions...

Always a fan of car rides, always sitting in the front seat. Dog is my co-pilot.

In her last few months, she dined on chicken, steak, red salmon, and the occasional filet mignon accompanied by long naps throughout the day.

FALLING BEHIND: Santa Barbara has a plan-

ning pipeline jammed with an astounding 1,000 proposed apartment rental units, but unlike 85,000 other California cities, it’s reluctant to levy fees that would lighten the impact on current residents.

While some members of the City Council scoffed recently that an impact fee wouldn’t raise much, Councilmember Bendy White estimates that perhaps $10 million-$20 million could be raised over the next five or 10 years to help offset effects of the rental building surge.

When the council on August 9 decided to table the impact fee issue until spring, Councilmember Jason Dominguez protested that even if a yearlong rate study were approved in 2017, the city wouldn’t see the revenue until sometime in 2018, by which time another 1,000 units might be in the pipeline.

Under the trial AUD (average unit-size density) developer incentive program, the city will be jamming units into neighborhoods but without fees that would offset the higher-density burden on current residents, Dominguez argued.

When the AUD program was approved a few years ago, the intent was to stimulate creation of smaller, presumably more affordable units. But city officials say they were surprised at the resulting avalanche of applications. The city’s longtime average has been about 100 units a year.

Sherry Villanueva began treading down this food-hall-esque path in 2011 when she started envisioning The Lark and its surrounding establishments, which redeveloped what was once a fish-processing warehouse.“Reuse of these large industrial spaces lends itself to multiple concepts,” she said.“Any one of these independent ventures can’t carry the burden of a large space on its own, so you need partner tenants to make it work.” Plus, customers like it. “We want our guests to feel that sense of discovery,” she said of visitors moving, for instance, from lunch at the Lucky Penny to sips at the Wine Collective.“It’s like a little treasure hunt.”

John Goodman and Barrett Reed, the young developers behind The Waterline, see a strategic advantage to having multiple tenants rather than just one. “When there are options and it all works together, the odds of people coming to the property and enjoying it are higher,” said Goodman.

For The Mill, owners/developers Darrell and Kirsten Becker did “vast” research to determine what to do with the property. They considered a food truck court, entertained the idea of a single tenant, and nearly dedicated the site to multiple manufacturers but kept brainstorming.

“How do we bring people back down to Haley?” thought the Beckers.

“How do we enliven this corner?” The result was a mix of beverage production by Potek Winery and Third Window Brewing paired with Wildwood Kitchen barbecue and their own interior design showroom.

More openings are on the way soon, including The Mill Annex across the street.

Despite their community-minded decision, the Beckers — and most every other business owner interviewed for this article — quickly ran into hurdles rather than applause at City Hall. “They did not have open arms. They told us all the things we couldn’t do,” said Darrell Becker.

“They should give you a playbook and say, ‘Here is what you need to do.’

This was not that. It was a lot of work.” They spent more than a year on parking schemes alone.

The Waterline guys float in a similar boat, most recently having to remodel the second phase — and delay its opening — because of the city’s parking concerns. Due to the traffic and parking pressure caused by the Funk Zone’s popularity, Goodman and Reed think that the city is tightening its interpretation of parking rules in the bustling waterfront neighborhood. “They narrowed their scope,” said Goodman, who says these last-minute delays cost his tenants lots of money.

City Councilmember Randy Rowse, himself a restaurateur, confirms those suspicions. “In The Funk Zone, we have a tiger by the tail,” he said.

“We let the genie out of the bottle on that one because it moved so much more explosively than we could have guessed. Now we have a problem with parking and circulation down there.”

He’s tired of the argument that “millennials don’t drive cars,” a common refrain by those who want parking rules to be relaxed. “If I have to hear that one more time, I might just go off on something,” said Rowse, who is “fearful” of approving projects without proper parking. “Is there nobody on this planet besides millennials?”

At first glance, the city’s parking rules are simple: They mandate a certain number of parking spots be included on-site based on a project’s square footage. But different zonings allow for different formulas — a “working” brewery needs less spaces than a beer bar, for instance — and restaurants can also be calculated based on seating rather than square footage. Throw in historical credits for on-street parking, which were allocated nearly 40 years ago based on a building’s then-use, and the downtown core’s “zone of benefit”— benefit” where businesses pay fees to fund the parking garages used by their customers — and the permitting grows complex.

“Parking is one of the highest concerns for Santa Barbarans,” said City Transportation Planner Rob Dayton. “It’s more of a tool to regulate what the community needs. Sometimes that’s more on the parking end, and sometimes it’s more on the economic end.” For instance, the Funk Zone was born out of the Great Recession, so the city leaned toward development over parking, and the recent shift to mandate less parking for rental units quickly spurred the building of more apartments. Now, with a more thriving economy, the city wants to get the parking right.

That’s been especially challenging for The Lark, The Waterline, and The Mill, all outside of downtown’s zone of benefit. “All three of them proposed to take old industrial buildings and convert them from uses with very low parking requirements to uses with very high parking requirements,” said Senior Planner Danny Kato. “If they need to provide

Food Hall Frenzy

Dr. GreGory S. Keller rejuvalaSe MeDi Spa Food HAll Frenzy Southern California’S MoSt aDvanCeD MeDi Spa

35 parking spaces, but they only provide nine, that means the demand for 26 parking spaces are going to be out on the street. That can impact the neighbors who used to have tons of parking available on the street. Their customers could easily come in, but now it’s more difficult to find a place to park.”

Though it took time, all three properties achieved the required parking, and the Beckers even purchased a property across the street from The Mill, where they will put 17 more spots. But the process has left them feeling as if the city doesn’t support creative business or do much big-picture thinking, preferring instead to focus on granular issues. Many also wonder why there isn’t a business development office that helps ease the process, like those that exist in other municipalities. “The city [staffers] are trying their hardest to enforce zoning and building restrictions that have been placed on them,” said Villanueva.“Unfortunately, those rules are broken, so they’re having to enforce rules that don’t make any sense. I have a lot of empathy for them.”

The city is hearing at least some of these concerns, and it is trying to streamline the parking rules as part of the New Zoning Ordinance process, which will be discussed at an August 29 hearing. Specifically, Kato and his colleagues want to remove the per-seat rules for restaurant parking and base it strictly on square footage, which is easier to calculate.“You can’t bargain over that,” said Kato. “That will make things go a lot faster.”

Additionally, the Funk Zone will be affected by the city’s ongoing update to its Local Coastal Plan. Both landlords and tenants would love for the city to build its own parking lot down there, but that’s unlikely given the expense. So Goodman, Reed, and their neighbors have hired consultant Suzanne Elledge to determine what it would take to create a zone of benefit in that area and possibly a privately funded lot. “With all of the changes down here, the need for parking solutions, and the Coastal Plan being rewritten, we believe the parking standards will change,” said Reed.

Despite the gripes, all of the folks spoken to for this article do appreciate the city’s role and don’t want to be seen as, in Darrell Becker’s words, “bellyaching.”

Explained Goodman, “They are just trying to make sure development is sustainable and does not affect neighbors too dramatically. We understand that.” He even admits that the rules may make their business better. “Every problem forces us to be more creative and leads to what, ultimately, is probably a better solution,” said Goodman, who believes the arduous process protects the town’s authenticity. Added Reed, “You really have to be good at navigating the city politics and process. That creates barriers to entry that are unique to Santa Barbara.”

collABorAtion & evolution

Approval doesn’t guarantee immediate success, especially for a concept new to town, which Public Market developer Marge Cafarelli learned soon after opening in April 2014.“This was big for Santa Barbara,” she said.“It was like a museum. People walked around like they were afraid to touch anything.”

A number of her original tenants did not succeed — one even sued her— her but some, such as Empty Bowl

Join us for our In-House CoolSculpting Event Marge Cafarelli in The Garden at the S.B. Public Market

Gourmet Noodle Bar and Rori’s Artisanal Creamery, have thrived. Cafarelli recently unveiled her 2.0 version of the market— market see page 25 for more on that— that and realizes that success in this shared-space game means continual evolution. “We need to sharpen our edges in every business,” she said. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

Finding the right mix of tenants is critical for each of the properties, and that often means accepting overlap. Acme’s Les Marchands Wine Bar & Merchant is right next door to its S.B. Wine Collective, for instance, and Topa Topa Brewing Co. and Blair Fox Cellars are about to open in The Waterline, which also has Lama Dog, a beer and wine bar. But the owners believe the communal nature will trump any cutthroat competition and that there is enough differentiation to entertain customers.

People walked around like they were afraid to touch anything.’

Over at The Mill, competition and collaboration will hopefully work hand in hand, as Third Window Brewing and Potek Winery can share space and equipment when necessary. “That’s our biggest challenge: How do we all coexist and thrive and have different offerings that are unique?” explained Dave Potter, Potek Winery’s owner. “I don’t think we’ve hit our stride yet. We’re still trying to find our groove a little bit.”

But visit any of these properties in the late afternoon or on the weekend, and you’ll see that success is knocking loudly on their shared doors. The crowds are coming, eating, and imbibing with glee, with families, older folks, and, yes, plenty of millennials mingling together.

“This is really about the urbanization of our town — we’re becoming more like a real city that has room for these entrepreneurs that are more independent, small, and creative,” said Villanueva.“We’re connecting with foods that are handmade and locally sourced and sustainably farmed and all those things people are resonating with. We built this thing to have a place for local people to go that was fun and different and very in tune with what the market was looking for. I believe we are successful because the locals are behind it.” ●

the Garden

lays roots for Public Market 2.0

by Matt kettmann

W

Hen Marge Cafarelli opened the Santa Barbara Public Market in

April 2014, she thought the community would support a small grocery store in the front of the building, like the ones she’d seen in Madrid and elsewhere. She was wrong.

“Santa Barbara didn’t adopt it,” said Cafarelli, who now feels Santa Barbarans are more suburban in their grocery style.“We couldn’t change people’s shopping habits.”

By the end of last year — and following the less-than-amenable departure of a few other tenants, including one who sued her— her Cafarelli knew change was needed.“It’s become more of a destination food place,” she said of the whole Public Market. “My responsibility was to give the store enough of an opportunity to succeed. When it didn’t, I had to pivot.”

She decided the place needed a beer garden, so she started working in January of this year toward that goal. Sourcing from hometown entrepreneurs such as Make Smith Leather Co. (tap handles and bench straps), Brothers of Industry (the woody interior design), Raoul Textiles (furniture fabrics), Mission Audio/Video (TVs), and herself (one of the chair models), Cafarelli recast the front of the market as The Garden, which opened last month. Today, rather than shelves of goods that dominated the old store, the front of the Public Market is a vibrant, buzzing place, looking out onto Victoria Street and, especially at night, beckoning passersby. It’s an airy atmosphere with five televisions, 41 beers and eight wines on tap (which can be ordered from your table), a variety of seating, and a casual walk-up food counter decorated with photo-wallpaper of Hollister Ranch.

“We’re really trying to bring the outside in,” said Cafarelli of the 125-seat establishment, which sbpublicmarket.com is family-friendly. “We think it will be something that enlivens the market.”

She and Chef Michael Blackwell (from the Montecito Country Club) are also striving to keep prices down. “We’ve got to be sure that we’re priced right and giving tremendous value,” she said.“Santa Barbara is very discerning in that regard.”

In addition, Cafarelli shifted the I`a Fish Market & Café to focus primarily on poke, which doubled revenues; put a grab-and-go station in the front of the building, which was the most popular part of the old grocery store; and got all of the tenants to expand their liquor licenses to include the common areas, thereby allowing more unrestricted flow. She’s also brought in Corazón Cocina as a new tenant (see story at left), and said that there is much interest in the three vacant spots, not to mention the larger restaurant across the patio.“We’re taking our time, and we’ll get the right tenant,” she said of that vacancy.

And Cafarelli, who’s lived partially in Santa Barbara since graduating college here decades ago, plans to keep tweaking as needed.“It’s a legacy project for me, and we’re gonna get it right,” she said.“Public Market 1.0 is working with the great tenants that have survived and evolved. We think that 2.0 is just gonna make things better.” ●

He latest venture for The Lark complex is Helena Avenue Bakery, for who doesn’t need some more scrumptious reasons to devour butter? “The need for a bakery became quickly apparent as the Funk Zone neighborhood unfolded,” explains Sherry Villanueva, managing partner for Acme Hospitality, which operates the entire property.

“We were excited to create a daytime, wholesome food venue that would serve the needs of our own businesses while giving people another reason to visit the area. We loved the idea of bringing more families down to the neighborhood and to tie our businesses more closely to the beach area.”

That means pastry chef Jeff Haines makes everything from artisan breads and bagels to baguettes and bâtards — and that’s just the b’s. There’s also stone-fruit galettes, flaky crust married with season-perfect peaches, and the gooiest, stickiest, yummiest peanut butter cookie.

And the picnic counter offers all sorts of takeout ways to fortify yourself for a trip through the Urban Wine Trail, from charcuterie house made by chef Weston Richards, to a couscous and farro salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and feta.

The goal is to make the Helena Avenue Bakery a kickoff spot, particularly since it shares space with the S.B. Wine Collective, which offers five of the region’s top wineries under one roof. “It’s the perfect place to start your wine-tasting adventure as our knowledgeable staff can guide you through a wine-tasting experience through the entire county,” said Villanueva.

“The bakery is the perfect complement to that experience, with a gourmet cheese board or savory pastry. After learning all about Santa Barbara’s unique geography, it’s fun to head out to the Urban Wine Trail to taste through other fine producers’ wines. At the end of the tour, land back at the Collective for a glass, and finish your evening off with dinner at The Lark, Les Marchands, or Lucky Penny.”

The bakery is perhaps the strongest argument against the Funk Zone becoming simply a buzzed playground for adults.“The Funk Zone is expanding into a dynamic and multilayered neighborhood with new restaurants, art galleries, and retail stores opening every day,” insisted Villanueva. “The focus of the Funk Zone is about passion and craftsmanship, and that theme is apparent in every aspect of the area. We love being a part of the collection of artists in our Anacapa St., immediate area and remain inspired by them every day.”

“They dip into Western swing and pop standards and real, straight hard-core country.” – Rosanne Cash

e expands les Marchands’ Menus

by Matt kettmann

c

HeF Weston Richards, who rose to regional fame by running the Spare Parts pop-up

dinners five years ago, is the red-bearded, tattooed mastermind behind the charcuterie, potted meats, and other wine-friendly cuisine at Les Marchands, where he’s run the kitchen since it opened in 2013.

Earlier this year, he started a brief run of lunch service at the wine bar. “There’s not a lot of lunch options down in the Funk Zone — you can’t eat at Mony’s every single day,” said Richards, referring to the popular taco joint around the corner. Today, his lunch creations stock the deli counter at the adjacent Les Marchands’ Shakshuka Helena Avenue Bakery. Highlights include the couscous and farro salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and feta (“my play on a Greek salad,” said Richards); the potato salad with whole-grain mustard and Castelvetrano olives (“my absolute favorite olives”); the brussels-sprouts Caesar salad (“a staple”); and the cold fried-chicken sandwich on ciabatta with blue cheese, dill pickles, and hot sauce, which Richards makes from fermented red chiles in the Tabasco-esque style of the South.

More exciting for the neighborhood, Richards will soon be taking Les Marchands into brunch-land. He, Villanueva, and team tested the concept this past Mother’s Day and will roll out every Friday and Saturday starting this fall. That menu includes smashed avocado, orange, furikake, radish, and scallion on sourdough; crispy fried rice, kale, poached egg, mushrooms, herbs, and fish sauce vinaigrette; fried chicken, buttermilk biscuit, sausage gravy, and sunny-side egg; shakshuka, with baked eggs, tomatoes, charred peppers and onions, feta, and cilantro; and a croissant with crab and shrimp salad, mint, celery, and jalapeño.

“We are constantly asked by guests to add brunch to our offerings, so we’re super excited to finally be able to do that,” said Villanueva.

“This is the perfect example of how a shared food space can ebb and Anacapa St., flow with guest demand.”

ASK THE DENTIST QUESTION: Are certain snacks better for my teeth than others?

Urgent Care New Location

ANSWER: Definitely! If you are snacking in between meals, you want to avoid foods that are high in sugar and starches, which can promote plaque build up on your teeth.

Some smart choices are: o Low fructose fruits, such as grapes and bananas o Raw vegetables, such as carrots and celery o Nuts o Low fat cheese or plain yogurt

Sansum Clinic Urgent Care is Moving from 51 Hitchcock Way to 215 Pesetas Lane on Sunday, August 28

If you can not brush after your snacks, rinse your mouth with water to help flush out any left over particles of food and keep your mouth fresh!

anta Barbara is blessed with long stretches of beautiful, easily accessible beaches, and as a Michigan native, I’ve done my best to enjoy them with my family each weekend since I moved here 12 years ago. But more and more frequently, our experience is marred by some less-thanresponsible dog owners.

I love dogs. I grew up with them, owned them most of my life, and worked in animal shelters since graduating college two decades ago. And I’m in favor of dogs having access to our beaches, but it’s important to note that not everyone likes dogs, and some are quite uncomfortable around them. Even dog lovers may want to relax at the beach without a dog pooping or peeing in their general area.

As such, Santa Barbara recognizes the need for both dog-free and dog-friendly beaches. According to the city’s animal control officer, Jeff Deming, dogs are really only allowed from the staircase at Shoreline Park up the coast to the Arroyo Burro Estuary; so, really, looking toward the ocean, the left side of Hendry’s Beach is it. The ticket for having a dog at a dog-free beach is $150; that’s doubled if it’s off-leash, and tack on another $150 if the dog isn’t licensed.

Hendry’s Beach

Unfortunately, many dog owners either aren’t aware of the rules or simply ignore them. For instance, when we went to Leadbetter Beach for the Fourth of July, I did a double take thinking we’d stepped onto Hendry’s. Within minutes of spreading our blanket and putting up the umbrella, an off-leash Chihuahua came trotting over to lay down in the shade. When my 6-year-old approached the dog, it tried to bite him. “Sorry,” said the dog’s apologetic owner, “he gets anxious around kids.” So why bring him to a dog-free beach on the Fourth of July? Minutes later, as my 3-year-old and I kicked the soccer ball, another off-leash dog kept trying to take the ball away, frightening her, so my husband told the owners to put it on the leash.

Okay, maybe they were tourists, but I can’t even count the times that my daughter has nearly been knocked over by a dog running on the beach or how often a dog has peed inches away from my kids’ sand castles — all on dog-free beaches. I can’t begin to think what non-dog-loving people are feeling.

As parents, we aren’t taking our kids to a dog beach and asking the dog owners to change. Dog owners should always make sure to exercise the same respect.

Modern Beachwear for Men David Malina (left) and Addison Proctor

S

altura,, a new men’s clothing brand, combines David Malina and Addison Proctor’s New York work ethic with Santa Barbara style.

Proctor and Malina, who met through their daughters’ preschool, both moved from New York to escape the “rat race” of the city for a more relaxing, beach-friendly lifestyle. The only thing the two avid surfers couldn’t find in Santa Barbara was modern beachwear for men, so they launched Saltura. A combination of the words “salt” and “cultura,” the clothing line intends to invoke a life inspired by the ocean, but they also wanted a brand that could be expanded into bags, apparel, furniture, and home goods.

“I have total designer’s ADD; I love just sinking my teeth into so many different topics,” said Malina. “Saltura is a platform for us, kind of a playground where we can throw all these creative explorations into the mix.”

They’re also trying to make clothing locally and from organic fabric.

“As a sailor and surfer and a person who is passionate about being out on the water, I don’t like sharing the water with container ships,” said Proctor. “We don’t like the idea of going to China or wherever and trying to navigate that side of the business. So we just decided we weren’t going to do that.”

Saltura recently launched its website (saltura.co), is currently on sale at Caravan Outpost in Ojai, and plans to be in boutique retailers soon, so you can expect to see some of the following products on beaches all around town.

Double Layer Hoodie: Composed of two layers of thin, organic cotton and available in four colors, this is meant for the typical gusty but sunny days at the beach. “It is … in between a T-shirt and a terry hoodie for perfect protection against wind,” said Malina. It is a flexible fit for all ages and comes in four different colors.

Jacket: Remnants of fabric from a run of another designer at a warehouse in Southern California make up this jacket. “It would have just gone into a landfill,” said Proctor. “Instead we found a company that salvages that fabric and we can use it to do limited editions.”

Rincon Boardshorts: These offer exactly what you need as a surfer:

a pocket in the back that won’t impede sitting on a board, a key chain, and thick, quick-dry fabric that won’t fade. “There is no detail on the shorts that you don’t need,” said Malina.

Everybody’s Favorite T-shirt: The T-shirts are composed of allCalifornia, pesticide- and herbicide-free, non-GMO certified cotton.

“They’re comfortable, and kind of tailored,” said Proctor. “They’re not very boxy or baggy, just super loose, lightweight, and relaxed.” They come in a variety of colors as plain shirts, or with a selection of three graphic designs on them.

One Fatal Rx, ROOm FOR CReam?

nce upon a time, ordering a cup of joe was a binary decision: Coffee? Or no coffee today? But stand in a Starbucks line today, and it’s clear we’re a nation obsessed with options—from a Grande in a Venti cup with three and a half scoops of nonfat foam to “two inches of room for cream” at exactly 140 degrees. With extra caramel drizzle.

Dripping with cable channels, drowning in apps, we demand choices at every turn and uphold choosiness as a virtue. Ordering coffee now is a public demonstration of meticulous preference—a declaration of druthers, painstakingly hewn. We will have it our way, damn it, or we won’t bother having it at all.

So tell me, then: Why are most of us still dying in the exact way we all dread — in pain, in fear, in open-backed hospital gowns, in metalsided beds, under fluorescent lights, with tubes protruding from us and machines beeping and ghastly nurses’ shoes squeaking from bustling nearby hallways as a teddy-bear-festooned Get Well! bouquet wilts on a rolling cart beside us? This, my friends, is not the end of a life well chosen.

There are now five states that offer another option for those dying of terminal illness. California recently joined Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Vermont in legalizing “death with dignity” or “physician-aided dying.”

(Advocates abhor the terms “assisted suicide” or “euthanasia.”) A 41-yearold Ojai woman with debilitating ALS recently took advantage of the law by inviting her friends and family to a right-to-die party. According to the Associated Press, it was two days of no-tears-allowed celebrating, ending with her swallowing a lethal Rx of morphine, pentobarbital, and chloral hydrate in a canopied hillside bed at email: starshine@roshell.com sunset. It’s the finale she chose when she had so few choices left.

And earlier this month, according to the Sacramento Bee, a 94-yearold Bay Area man—a former U.S. Marine with heart disease and colon cancer—knocked back a fatal dose of doctor-prescribed barbiturates with a whiskey martini, fell asleep at home, and died peacefully. The way he wanted.

This year, 20 more states are considering right-to-die laws, but it’s a tough sell. Should we be toying with such a profound — and profoundly irreversible — natural phenomenon? Is death supposed to be painless and (it feels rude to even type it) comfortable?? But I can think of no reason why it shouldn’t be. We spend billions testing and producing safety devices like air bags to prevent anyone from having to endure lives of pain and suffering; it’s outrageous we’ve invested so little to prevent deaths of pain and suffering.

Still, there are ethical concerns. Critics worry that disabled and elderly people could feel pressured to exercise their right to die— seeing it more as a duty to die—in order to spare family members the burden of caring for them. Or even that the medical community might one day begin pressuring economically disadvantaged populations to take advantage of the option.

And there are haunting anecdotes about patients who were diagnosed terminal but who chose to fight it and miraculously lived … but there are exponentially more stories about the loved ones we’ve all watched die in extended bouts of pain, and terror, as we stood by, unable to help at all.

Maybe the moment of death isn’t more significant than any other moment in life; in fact, maybe it’s less so, since we don’t get the opportunity to reflect on it, to savor its memory, make meaning of it and weave it into our story. What matters, then, is probably not how we die but how we anticipate dying. A full third of the people who request and fill these life-ending prescriptions never use them—but their families say it meant all the difference to them to know they had that choice.

No one’s asking for an array of options: no custom order, no room for cream. But we should have a say-so in the ultimate binary decision: Suffer? Or no more suffering today?

pieology opens sATurdAy

R

eader Cris gave me the heads-up that Pieology was getting close to opening in Goleta, so I stopped in to confirm the news. Indeed, this inventive pizza parlor, and Hollister Village Plaza’s newest tenant, is scheduled to open Saturday, August 27, at 7000 Hollister Avenue. This franchised location is run by Cotti Foods, which operates locations in Hawai‘i and California.

“The brand is about inspiration and customization where a guest can come in and tell us exactly how they want their pizza,” says Shane Gray, VP of marketing for Cotti Foods. “You want more mushrooms? No problem. Even more mushrooms? No problem! Making it the way you want it is what makes it special.”

Pieology, which has more than 100 locations across the U.S., offers more than 30 different topping choices at a fixed price, so hundreds of pizza combinations can be custom-made for each customer. Menu options include sauces such as herb butter, red sauce, or olive oil as well as a variety of cheese choices including mozzarella, parmesan, or gorgonzola. Toppings include meats such as chicken, sausage, or meatball and a variety of vegetables and more unique items like jalapeño or pineapple. Pieology also offers “after bakes” that can be added after the pizza such as roasted red peppers, dollops of red sauce, or pesto. Gluten-free crust is also available.

Pieology joins Smart & Final Extra! and Zizzo’s Coffeehouse & Wine Bar in the plaza.

Future tenants include Dickey’s BBQ, Pickles & Swiss, Sno-Crave, Poke Me, and Kyle’s Kitchen.

Hours are 11 a.m.- 9:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday, and 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

Sunday. Visit pieology.com.

squAsh BlossoMs @ ToMA

As foods that seem too precious to do at home go, squash blossoms are high on the list — they seem mighty sensitive and tender for a stuffing. So I like ordering them out, and there are none better than the ones that Toma is serving right now, for a host of reasons.

First, these are flash fried, as opposed to heavily battered; it’s all good squash-flower-power flavor and just enough crunch. Then the stuffing itself is a creamy goat cheese laced with preserved lemon, balancing richness with acid.

But the kicker is the sauce. Often this dish shows up with some marinara variant, and sure, tomatoes and summer, we get it.

Instead, Chef Nat Ely bathes the blossoms in an orange citronette that totally lifts the 324 W. C $14; dish to another dining plane. It connects with that lemon in the stuffing so the sauce isn’t abril just an afterthought. It’s light, bright, and very California, perfect for this attractive room 962-077 lo Blvd., 7, tomares across from the beach. That there are also fresh peas and pea shoots adorning the plate is taurant.c om both wonderful for the eye and a delicious way to provide a bit of bass note.

3D StuDio Gallery Turns 20

Twenty years ago, Charles Fazzino and his cousin Al Faro opened the 3D Studio Gallery in Santa Barbara. It was an improbable little place, not the metropolitan art mecca of New York or San Francisco, and galleries were known to come and go from State Street almost as quickly as passing tourists. Two decades later, the gallery still stands, and Fazzino himself will be there for a special reception honoring the gallery’s continued success.

According to Fazzino, the crosscurrent of international visitors to S.B. is one of the main reasons for his gallery’s longevity. “We have a lot of travelers. You’re not showing the work only to California; you’re showing it to the world — everybody comes through here,” he said. Fazzino’s biggest following is in European and Asian markets, in fact. “I think the Europeans and

Asians look at my artwork and see America. Believe it or not, many people around the world love Americans and love American art and really identify with it.”

Of course the gallery would not be such a draw were it not for the utter individuality of his work.

Fazzino’s pop art really pops: His silk-screen prints are hand-cut with an X-Acto knife and composed of multiple layers, with embellishment like Swarovski crystals or glitter also meticulously placed by hand. “People tell me my work is so different than anything they see,” he said. “I’ve been doing this since 1981, and people still tell me my work is cool, unique, and unusual.”

Charles Fazzino and the 3D Studio Gallery (529 State St.) will celebrate 20 years on Saturday, August 27, 2-5 p.m. For more information, call 730-9109 or visit fazzino.com.

Beats like a

Cholo

Do you have rhymes but not the beats to match?

Or do you have a deep love for hip-hop but a frustration with the trapinspired productions on today’s radio? Step into the digital mansion of Château Choló. It’s a palatial production and art platform and record label founded to pump out highquality West Coast hip-hop beats for aspiring rappers, with a wardrobe of edgy T-shirt prints, comedic kitchen series Cuisine Choló, and the vibrant personalities of two Indy Indy-affiliated content-creators: Gustavo Uribe, our irrepressible writer and administrative assistant, and Isaac Welsh, the similarly individualistic illustrator son of one of our most valued voices, Nick Welsh.

Château Choló’s biggest offering is its beats.

Coproduced by Uribe and Welsh, the beats are on sale for rising rappers to rhyme over, fledgling musicians to build over, and for filmmakers to lay over their visuals.

The beats, sleek and subtly textured, are organized by BPM and genre. Both Uribe and Welsh have shaped beats since high school, beginning with disparate methods — Uribe a drum machine and groove box, Welsh GarageBand cutups — before arriving at their collaborative sound, somewhere between Dr. Dre and Depeche Mode, said Uribe.

Uribe and Welsh first became acquainted when Uribe needed a cover art illustrator for his excellent new hiphop album, Cholo 2.0 (pictured), released this year via Bandcamp. The album is an exciting accomplishment, a visionary blend of West Coast hip-hop and merengue inspired by ’90s acts such as Proyecto Uno, with Uribe’s sun-bright, party-starting, and occasionally politicized persona, Brown Don Johnson, as the rallying emcee (see opening track of the same name, a takedown of Trump’s Mexican wall proposal).

But the album is but one pillar in the foundation of the Château Choló estate, which also serves as a platform for Welsh’s somewhat darkly leaning, urbanized, surrealist cartoon illustrations, now available on T-shirts (Welsh, it should be noted, drew our paper’s snarling mascot, the Angry Poodle.) The goal, ultimately, is to offer something different. “We’re trying to break away from the mainstream sound,” Welsh said. “Screw all this radio play garbage — we want to change up the game a little bit.”

The two mean business — and by the quality of their product and the uniqueness of their sound, it’s only a matter of time before the money starts to stack.

THIS PARTY’S POLITICAL: Sociopolitical critiques fuel the fire of The DTEASE’s rock showmanship, with every show a party of punk politics and musical liberation.

MAKING ROCK ROCK AGAIN

by Richie DeMaria ROCK THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY: A few young rock bands playing this week rock with a spirit of yesteryear, rocking in the old-fashioned way — and I don’t mean in the way of a peaceful old guard of ’60s songsmiths flanked fatherly and sagely around their shared acoustic legacies. I mean rock of the flagrantly disobedient or wildly spirited variety, when groupies were guaranteed and roads were open passages to eternal youth. Of these, S.B.’s The DTEASE, who play with Retrodemon at Whiskey Richards (435 State St.) tomorrow, Friday, August 26, at 10 p.m., like their rebellion full of glampunk showmanship, including stage combat, while The Wild Feathers, who open for Band of Horses tomorrow at 8 p.m. at The Arlington Theatre (1317 State St.) like it in road-trip style, unbounded, psychedelic, and anthemic.

Here is a look at both of them.

WHAT A DTEASE: Once upon a time, rock music was one of the most powerful and destructive forces known to man, capable of terrifying governments and concerned parents alike. That’s the kind of rock The DTEASE love.

“The DTEASE push things to where they feel like they are constantly on the verge of blowing apart,” says frontman Wilson Gil. Their stage shows have been known to include smashed instruments, scantily clad stage combatants, pyrotechnics, and bursts of glitter, with the high-powered energy that can make a venue seem ready to crumble in supplication.

The DTEASE lament the lack of rock ’n’roll showmanship in contemporary music and strive to bring a bit of spectacle back to the fray. “Nowadays there are no captivating live shows; the lead singer doesn’t give a fuck and is up there chewing gum,” says bassist Terry Luna. Theirs is a very participatory show.“We want the crowd involved as much as we are,” says drummer Mike Sharpe.

This means breaking rules and barriers. The group features its very own stage fighters, with Cate Imperio and Samantha Fairley dueling onstage as the riffs wreak havoc. “The dancers are there to be political. They are provocateurs and make everyone let their guard down,” Gil said. Their music aims for liberation. “It’s the politics of being completely free.”

No doubt, it will be a wild time. “I’m always slipping on greasy dog food, treading glow sticks in platform heels, glitter and feathers in my eyes, microphone swung to the head, broken toes — I love it all,” Imperio said.

WILD HEART: “The softer stuff always comes easier,” admits The Wild Feath-

ers’ bassist/vocalist Joel King. The band released its new album, Lonely Is a Lifetime, this year, a decidedly more rocking follow-up to 2013’s plaintive and highly praised self-titled debut. It’s something of an old-timey thing, he says, with the Nashville-by-way-of-Texas band naturally drawn to the barest of acoustic setups and the melodies that issue from them. With multiple singers, vocal harmonies are part of the picture regardless of tempo, but this time, they decided to pump up the energy, he says, thanks to their live show, with the touring life adding an invigorating effect to their already energetic personalities.

With a cover art collage of teens pointing over desert valleys into a starry infinity, their new album points to the kind of rock that paves new horizons, built for cross-country adventures and inter-dimensional explorations.“We love the kind of traveler spirit, the Kerouac spirit,” King said. “That classic, romantic, On the Road–type narrative is real to us.”

So, too, is the invisible side of life, with their “Help Me Out” video shoot at the celestially inclined glamping spot El Cosmico in Marfa, Texas. So did they see the famed Marfa Lights? “It was pretty freaky, but sure as shit, there n it was,” he said. “It was simply awesome.” independent.com

he world must be peopled,” says Benedick At UcSB Studio (Zachary Macias), the comic protagonist Theater, Wed., of Much Ado About Nothing, which is Aug. 17. Shows again currently playing at UCSB in a brilliant and zany Sept. 30-Oct. 2.

Naked Shakes production directed by Irwin Appel and starring many of the top students in the school’s BFA acting program.

Benedick is talking to himself at the time and seeking to justify his desire for the lovely Beatrice (Maddie Martin), something that does not, strictly speaking, require any justification but which does reflect, in part, the kind of global perspective that the play’s author, William Shakespeare, achieves in relation to the abundance of compromises, misadventures, and embarrassments that characterize human courtship in this, the most contemporary and perhaps the funniest of the Bard’s comedies.

Thanks to outstanding performances by the central couple and a host of expert turns by this splendidly able cast, the capacity audience of mostly UCSB students loved the Truly Polite (left) and Taylor Santos high jinks as the lovers dart in and out from behind the Studio Theater’s circular curtain, listening for and overhearing the rumors and lies that will eventually enmesh them in a romance neither can muster the wit to deny. Don’t miss the chance to laugh out loud at this perennially fresh story of love’s triumph over pretention and ego when Naked Shakes brings it back at the end of September.

Beck treated the audience to highlights resort, Thu., Aug. 11. from his kick-ass new album, Loud Hailer, as well as some of the greatest songs of his career. Beck and his red-hot band, composed of Rosie Bones (vocals), Jimmy Hall (vocals), Carmen Vandenberg (guitar), Rhonda Smith (bass), and Jonathan Joseph (drums), started the night off right with the bluesy jam/call to arms “The Revolution Will Be Televised,” before moving on to the frenetic fan-favorite instrumental “Freeway Jam” from his 1975 album, Blow

by Blow.

From there, the band proceeded with a rotation of new and old tunes, at first featuring Bones on lead vocals, including “Live in the Dark,” during which she danced voluptuously while Beck Fender-bended. This was juxtaposed with classic songs on which Hall got to shine, including “Morning Dew” and “Shapes Of Things,” plus Sam Cooke and Jeff Beck Stevie Wonder covers.

During the encore, Beck and company received a standing ovation from the rapt audience (a quarter of whom migrated right up to the edge of the stage to take pictures and receive communion in Beck’s holy rock ’n’ blues glory). As Beck and the band took their bows and thanked the crowd to thunderous applause, an ardent fan in the back proclaimed: “We love you, Jeff!” Well said.

f you didn’t come to party, don’t bother At the arlington knockin’ on Boy George’s door. That was the Theatre, Wed., Aug. 17. message Culture Club’s charismatic singer delivered during the band’s ferocious pop onslaught last Wednesday night at the Arlington Theatre. “Every night we encounter resistance, and every night we beat it down,” George said.

Indeed, Boy George and original band members Roy Hay, Mikey Craig, and Jon Moss (plus backup singers and brass section) killed it with 007-level accuracy and efficiency. Drummer Moss whipped the crowd into a frenzy with muscular, slammin’ beats that built up to “Church of the Poison Mind.”

The house exploded as George appeared in matching red hat and blazer, the first of three eccentric outfits, culminating in a green suit worthy of The Riddler.

“It’s a Miracle” and the tropicaltinged “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya” proved highenergy workouts in concert for band and audience alike. “Happy and sad in the same breath — that’s what we do,” George said, before performing “Black Money,” a deep cut from their biggest-selling album, 1983’s Colour

By Numbers. Performed live, “Black Money” dissolved into an E Street Band-ish instrumental session for the brass section as Boy George left the stage, doffing his coat. When he returned in a fluorescent rainbow cowboy hat and scarf, he set off “Time (Clock of the Heart),” with its sexy, sax-y breakdowns.

The sonically exciting “Like I Boy George Used To” proved that the recently reformed Club—they broke up in 1986, reunited in 2014—should continue penning new tunes. The London-formed group definitely re-energized the proceedings with the bouncy “Miss Me Blind” and their 1982 reggae-pop career-launcher, “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?” The band’s encore included “Karma Chameleon,” which went over big. A wicked version of T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong” (which George used to name-check all the band members plus wish the secondary drummer a happy birthday) closed the show.

MAGIC!

t

his lavishly illustrated four-volume encyclopedia from Schiffer Publishing represents the work of many decades for art historian Maurine St. Gaudens, and promises to promote significant advances in our understanding of the contributions women have made to the history of art in California. The books’ large format, remarkably vivid full-color illustrations, and St. Gaudens’s thoroughly researched biographical sketches of the artists make for delightful browsing while also answering the scholar’s need for accurate, up-to-date, and reliable information. As one reads through the entries, each woman’s story seems more fascinating than the last, and certain patterns emerge.

For example, women were particularly quick to grasp the imperative to absorb art traditions from elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. Bertha Lum honeymooned in Japan in 1903 and never looked back, returning to that country many times with and without her husband and staying for as long as six months to learn tradi“Struggle” by Ruth Miller Kempster tional wood-block techniques.

Emmy Lou Packard was so enthralled with the social activist vision of the Mexican muralist movement that she ended up living with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo for a year. Her “Brussel Sprouts Pickers in Half Moon Bay” is a stunning achievement. Ruth Miller Kempster, who lived her last years in Ojai and died in Santa Barbara, may be the greatest socially conscious magical realist painter of whom even the experts on California art have never heard. It will be a long time before the impact of this monumental work is fully absorbed, and that’s a good thing.

The GeT Down

Theatre Under the Stars BROADWAY’S TONY AWARD-WINNING BEST MUSICAL

Baz Luhrmann Brings His Origin Story of Hip-Hop to the Small Screen

AUG 26 - SEP 11

S

uddenly, New York in the 1970s— as explosive musical, sartorial, and pop-cultural landscape —is beaming and booming into America’s living room, in a vivid, less censored kind of way. Early this year, Martin Scorsese ushered in the wave with his pilot for the dark vision of music business excess, Vinyl, and as of last weekend, the long-anticipated, much ado-ed, and lavishly budgeted (at $120 million, television’s priciest adventure yet) The Get Down from Baz Luhrmann got down to its business of tracing (and reinventing) the rise of hip-hop out of the urban war-zone-like squalor of the Bronx.

Scorsese had no trouble putting the mean in the mean streets he has known; Australian fantasy man Luhrmann’s trip to the war-torn urban decay of the South Bronx has both requisite grit and a mix of musical energy, brewing violence and a glossified vision à la West Side Story and romantic music video kitsch.

Quibbles and questions of cultural credentials aside, The Get Down tells a compelling American story, and an important African-American story, in a period when films such as Straight Outta Compton tell the corollary West Coast saga of ’80s rap.

Leave it to Luhrmann, king of the enjoyable but sometimes shamelessly overstuffed cinematic experience — the postmodern-esque Moulin Rouge! and a lumbering The Great Gatsby, for example—to make his TV debut splash in an over-the-top way, with Netflix’s blessing and checkbook. Working on the script with Stephen Adly Guirgis (Pulitzer-winning playwright for Between Riverside and Crazy), Luhrmann sought to render an epic saga about the birth and eventual triumphant ascent of hip-hop alongside the changing face of N.Y.C. The canvas is wide but also zoomed in on the personal, with key characters, including the budding “wordsmith/rapper” Zeke Figueroa (Justice Smith), his love interest and ambitious wanna-be-astar singer Mylene Cruz (Herizen Guardiola, a new face), graffiti artist Marcus (Jaden “son of Will” Smith), and other characters ranging from Jimmy Smits as an

urban-renewal-championing politician to the sassy disco-nightclub queen Fat Annie (Lillias White).

In the first run of six episodes, Luhrmann directed only the pilot, which bustles, teems, and glitters with action and audiovisual bedazzlement, if skimping on narrative content. In a larger way, though, the pilot, subtitled “Where There Is Ruin, There Is Hope for a Treasure,” is a stage setter for not only the characters but also the cultural sea change. This is the origin story about the shift of the inner-city musical conversation from disco and ’70s soul (as represented by soundtrack gems like “Boogie Wonderland,” “Disco Inferno,” and “Bad Girls” as well as the R&B sung, in heartfelt tones,

by Mylene) to the revolutionary upending of hip-hop, which roughly coincided with the punk blast addressed in Vinyl.

A slow-reveal tactic is underway: Not until one hour and 15 minutes into the 90-minute episode does this awaiting hip-hop beast—the “get down”—emerge, at an underground party in the Bronx-ian “ruins,” with the guru Grandmaster Flash as mythic sage turntablist and cultural alchemist. The party, and the revolution, is just getting started.

In its Luhrmann-stamped pilot form, The Get Down jumps out at our senses while tugging at heartstrings and trying to get at least some of the history/milieu straight.

But it also expends so much energy and production heat trying to earn the qualification of being Baz Luhrmann’s The Get Down that the get-real factor loses some of its sting. Still, the story is one worth telling, in a big, epic, price-almost-no-object way.

He’s more a quiet force of fierce protective instincts and retribution in the slow-burning French-Belgian thriller Disorder, an impressive turn from writer/director Alice Winocour (who cowrote the Oscar-nominated Mustang Mustang).

“A STEAMY, SUSPENSEFUL TENSION-BOMB”

a&e | film & TV cONT’d frOM p. 53

Globe and Mail

Ben-Hur the imperiled wife (Diane Kruger).

Winocour embeds into a large, swanky house a chilling aura of suspense and psychological uncertainty, not to mention brewing romantic-sexual attraction.

Things do go bump in the night, but it’s the artfully implied lurking dread that keeps us tuned in. (JW) Sun.-Wed., Aug. 28-31, Riviera

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) Plaza de Oro

nOW SHOWing

Florence Foster Jenkins

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.

Plaza de Oro

O 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) Paseo Nuevo

Ben-Hur (125 mins., PG-13) Timur (Night ( Watch, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Killer) Bekmambetov is a flawed visual genius like Terry Gilliam: full of brilliant ideas but without much talent at narrative coherence. This time, however, he’s messing with something mainstream moviegoers used to cherish — the religious epic. Even though Bekmambetov builds a lot of visual power in the first third of the movie and sticks close to the 1959 version, the whole thing falls apart when he abandons plot logic. Minus Charlton Heston’s preposterous bombast, this feels corny and pointless. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Fiesta (2D)

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

(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

O Hell or High Water (102 mins., R) A modern-day Western tersely told, this grim-toned tale of two bank-robbing brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) and the sheriff (Jeff Bridges) who tries to stop them is something more than a shoot-’em-up. With a taut and tense violin soundtrack and starkly southwestern cinematography, the film has enough gravitas and emotional ambiguity to give it an air of greatness — a meditation on how all of us might be a little bit good, a little bit bad, and a little bit ugly.

(RD) Paseo Nuevo 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) Metro 4 Kubo and the Two Strings (101 mins., PG)

The stop-motion-animated feature follows a young villager named Kubo (Art Parkinson), who is thrown into an adventure when he accidentally summons an ancient and vindictive spirit and must uncover his samurai legacy.

Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)

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.

O The Secret Life of Pets

(87 mins., PG)

Sunday August 28 @ 2:00pm Monday August 29 @ 7:30pm Tuesday August 30 @ 5:00pm W ednesday August 31 @ 7:30pm at the Rivier a T heatr e 2044 Alameda Padr e Ser r a UPCOMING FILMS VOLCANO (IXCANUL) Guatemala’s entry for the Academy Awards LITTLE MEN From writer/director Ira Sachs, starring Greg Kinnear

WWW.SBIFF.ORG

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) Metro 4 (2D) 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) Camino Real (2D)/Metro 4 (2D)

War Dogs (114 mins., R) Todd (Road ( Trip, The Hangover) Phillips isn’t exactly a subtle director, and War Dogs doesn’t feel like an understated movie. Yet this Jonah Hill/Miles Teller vehicle works well as political satire. The true story of two young guys riding prevailing political winds into unlikely arms-dealing success feels a little The Wolf of Wall Street exploitative at times, but it springs an unexpected wallop at the end, proving yet again that petty crime may not pay, but outrageous white-collar infamy can be a lucrative gas.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of august 25 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t scream curses at the rain, demanding that it stop falling on you. Similarly, I suggest you refrain from punching walls that seem to be hemming you in, and I beg you not to spit into the wind when it’s blowing in your face. Here’s an oracle about how to avoid counterproductive behavior like that: The near future will bring you useful challenges and uncanny blessings if you’re willing to consider the possibility that everything coming your way will in some sense be an opportunity.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Oh how I wish you might receive the grace of being pampered and nurtured and entertained and prayed for. I’d love for you to assemble a throng of no-strings-attached caretakers who would devote themselves to stoking your healing and delight.

Maybe they’d sing to you as they gave you a manicure and massaged your feet and paid your bills. Or perhaps they would cook you a gourmet meal and clean your house as they told you stories about how beautiful you are and all the great things you’re going to do in the future. Is it possible to arrange something like that even on a modest scale, Taurus? You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you most need this kind of doting attention — and when you have the greatest power to make it happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you to dream about your true home … your sweet, energizing, love-strong home … the home where you can be high and deep, robust and tender, flexible and rigorous … the home where you are the person that you promised yourself you could be. To stimulate and enhance your brainstorms about your true home, experiment with the following activities: Feed your roots … do maintenance work on your power spot … cherish and foster your sources … and refine the magic that makes you feel free. Can you handle one more set of tasks designed Homework: What would the people who love you best say is the most important thing for you to learn? Testify at truthrooster@gmail.com.

to enhance your domestic bliss? Tend to your web of close allies … take care of what takes care of you … and adore the intimate connections that serve as your foundation.

unleash the refined potency of your emotional intelligence. (4)In meditations and dreams, ask your ancestors how you can more completely access and activate your dormant potentials.

CANCER

LIBRA

(June 21-July 22): It’ll be one of those rapid-fire, adjust-on-the-fly, think-on-your-feet, go-with-yourgut times for you — a head-spinning, endorphingenerating, eye-pleasing, intelligence-boosting phase when you will have opportunities to relinquish your attachments to status quos that don’t serve you. Got all that, Cancerian? There’ll be a lot of stimuli to absorb and integrate — and luckily for you, absorbing and integrating a lot of stimuli will be your specialty. I’m confident of your ability to get the most of upcoming encounters with cute provocations, pleasant agitation, and useful unpredictability. One more tip: Be vigilant and amused as you follow the ever-shifting sweet spot.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are not forlorn, shivery, puzzled, or obsessive right now — unless being in such a state will mobilize you to instigate the overdue transformations you have been evading. If that’s the case, I hope you are forlorn, shivery, puzzled, and obsessive. Feelings like those may be the perfect fuel — the high-octane motivation that will launch your personal renaissance. I don’t often offer this counsel, Libra, so I advise you to take full advantage: Now is one of the rare times when your so-called negative emotions can catalyze redemption.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): At the risk of asking too much and pushing too hard, my Guerrilla Prayer Warriors have been begging God to send you some major financial mojo. These fierce supplicants have even gone so far as to suggest to the Supreme Being that maybe She could help you win the lottery or find a roll of big bills lying in the gutter or be granted a magic wish by an unexpected benefactor. “Whatever works!” is their mantra. Looking at the astrological omens, I’m not sure that the Prayer Warriors’ extreme attempts will be effective. But the possibility that they will be is definitely greater than usual. To boost your odds, I suggest you get more organized and better educated about your money matters. Set a clear intention about the changes you’d like to put in motion during the next 10 months.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Suggested experiments: (1) Take a vow that from now on you won’t hide your beauty.

(2) Strike a deal with your inner king or inner queen, guaranteeing that this regal part of you gets regular free expression. (3) Converse with your Future Self about how the two of you might collaborate to fully

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): From what I can tell, your vigor is peaking. In recent weeks, you have been sturdy, hearty, stout, and substantial. I expect this surge of strength to intensify in the near future — even as it becomes more fluid and supple. In fact, I expect that your waxing power will teach you new secrets about how to wield your power intelligently. You may break your previous records for compassionate courage and sensitive toughness. Here’s the best news of all: You’re likely to be dynamic about bestowing practical love on the people and animal and things that are important to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The odds are higher than usual that you will be offered a boost or promotion in the coming weeks. This development is especially likely to occur in the job you’re doing or the career plans you’ve been pursuing. It could also be a factor at work in your spiritual life. You may discover a new teacher or teaching that could lift you to the next phase of your inner quest. There’s even a chance that you’ll get an upgrade on both fronts. So it’s probably a good time to check on whether you’re harboring any obstacles to success. If you find that you are, DESTROY THOSE

RANCID OLD MENTAL BLOCKS WITH A BOLT OF PSYCHIC LIGHTNING.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The cosmos seems to be warming up to your charms. The stinginess it displayed toward you for a while is giving way to a more generous approach.

To take advantage of this welcome development, you should shed any fear-based beliefs you may have adopted during the recent shrinkage. For instance, it’s possible you’ve begun to entertain the theory that the game of life is rigged against you, or that it is inherently hard to play. Get rid of those ideas. They’re not true, and clinging to them would limit the game of life’s power to bring you new invitations. Open yourself up wherever you have closed down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are any of your allies acting like they’ve forgotten their true purpose? If so, you have the power to gently awaken them from their trances and help them re-focus. Is it possible you have become a bit too susceptible to the influences of people whose opinions shouldn’t really matter that much to you? If so, now is a good time to correct that aberration. Are you aware of having fallen under the sway of trendy ideas or faddish emotions that are distorting your relationship with your primal sources? If so, you are hereby authorized to free yourself from their hold on you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Now would be a favorable time to reveal that you are in fact a gay socialist witch who believes good poetry provides a more reliable way to understand reality than the opinions of media pundits — unless, of course, you are not a gay socialist witch, etc., in which case you shouldn’t say you are. But I do advise you to consider disclosing as much as possible of your true nature to anyone with whom you plan to be intimately linked in the future and who is missing important information about you. It’s high time to experiment with being more completely yourself.
