THR ING ISLA VISTA IS

It’s about an outdoor yoga class with spectacular views of the Pacific. It’s about a meditative walk through a serene labyrinth just steps from the UCSB campus. It’s about a bike ride along the ocean cliffs. And it’s about IV’s walls, parks, and art installations.

Our vibrant world food culture reflects our diverse population. Family friendly Estero Park and the Isla Vista Food Co-op are welcome staples of this community. Thanks to a collaborative relationship among peace officers, residents, and visitors, IV has grown to show the world

that it’s a beautiful environment in which to live, study, and enjoy. But it’s up to all of us to do our part. Let’s be vigilant, keep it local, and make it safe. Strive to be your best. Live a life that makes you proud. Give back to your community. Viva IV. Let’s keep it safe.

Let’s keep Isla Vista safe.

‘You can’t leave it to neighbors tattling on neighbors.’ — Joshua Haggmark, city water director, on the need for enforcement officers should Santa Barbara impose a ban on lawn watering

IN CAse OF eMeRGeNCY: A plane-crash emergency drill was staged Tuesday morning at the Santa Barbara Airport, where dozens of firefighters

and paramedics rescued 70 actors with make-believe injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening. An MTD bus fitted with smoke machines doubled as the downed plane. Here, Montecito Fire Captain Evan Skei tends to Bonnie Elliott, a regular Community Emergency Response Team volunteer. Her wheelchair for the day added a layer of unpredictability for first responders, who were gauged on their readiness and quick thinking. The FAA requires the full-scale drill, the most comprehensive of its kind in the country, every three years.

No Water Cops Yet Council Votes Down Lawn-Watering Ban

by Nick Welsh

esperate times may call for desperate

measures, but for a slim majority of the Santa Barbara City Council, California’s drought has not gotten grim enough to warrant enacting a ban on lawn watering or creating the new cadre of water cops needed to enforce it. Three councilmembers and Mayor Helene Schneider expressed serious reservations about Big Brother enforcement scenarios— no drones in backyards, the mayor said—or a belief that city residents would conserve even more if told rather than asked. Conversely, three councilmembers argued the shortage had grown so dire that a water ban, a building moratorium, and new drought impact fees were necessary.“Our margin of error is gone,” declared Councilmember Bendy White, the self-described Cassandra of the council on

water issues. “We’re talking about wanting to do nice things. We don’t have any more slack in the system.” The “nice things” to which White alluded were stepped-up voluntary conservation measures accompanied by a robust “branding” effort. White, a water commissioner during the last drought, insisted that tougher enforcement was needed even while acknowledging what a “PR disaster” it proved to be 20 years ago. In the past month, City Hall suddenly and unhappily discovered it had access to 800 fewer acre-feet of water from Lake Cachuma — now 93 percent empty— empty than anticipated. It also discovered that it would have to release substantially more to restore remnant populations of federally endangered steelhead trout. City wells, White added, had been pushed hard enough to give rise to concerns about saltwater intrusion into the groundwater

basin. During the last major drought, he said, it took city basins 20 years to recuperate. City water czar Joshua Haggmark argued Santa Barbara residents needed to make do with 800 fewer acre-feet of water a year, or a jump in conservation from 35 percent a year to 40. A lawn-watering ban, he argued, could save 500-1,200 acre-feet. That, he said, would cost the city $3.2 million in revenues. That could be made up, he added, by the imposition of a new drought impact fee. Haggmark argued some kind of enforcement staff would be necessary. “You can’t leave it to neighbors tattling on neighbors,” he said. Haggmark argued the economic disruption inflicted by a moratorium on new development would not be justified by the negligible amount of water saved— roughly 27 acre-feet a year. saved Councilmember Frank Hotchkiss opposed the lawn-watering ban because, he said, only

Former Lompoc Man of the Year, city councilmember, chaplain to the Lompoc Police, and CHP officer Anthony Michael durham (pictured) was arrested on charges of sexual abuse against a child under the age of 14. Durham had also functioned as a crime-prevention specialist with the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office and taught classes about not drinking at the local high school. Bail was set at $1 million. Lompoc Police spokesperson Sgt. Kevin Martin said Durham had been brought in for questioning Sunday afternoon based on allegations of sexual molestation. “Based on what was said in that interview, he was taken into custody and booked in the County Jail,” said Martin.

Carbajal and Caruso ttoo Cozy?

There’s nothing like Australia! “The Wonder from Down Under”

Wednesday, September 28 th, 6-8pm TravelStore, 1324 State St, Suite C, in the Arlington Plaza To RSVP for this exciting event call TravelStore today! Tanya Bryant 805-963-6521 or Tanya.b@travelstore.com

his fall’s congressional race spilled into the county supervisors’ meeting on Tuesday as three members of the public availed themselves of the open-mike portion of the meeting to accuse county supervisor and Democratic congressional candidate Salud Carbajal of accepting bribes from Miramar hotel owner and developer Rick Caruso. A film crew working on behalf of Carbajal’s Republican opponent Justin Fareed was present to record the exchange. Carbajal asked County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni whether the line separating free speech from defamation had been crossed. Ghizzoni replied that so long as matters of legislative action were targeted, speakers are given wide latitude. Carbajal has received $10,800 in congressional campaign donations from Caruso and his wife. In 2011, Caruso donated $15,000 to Carbajal’s reelection campaign. Supervisor Doreen Farr disputed that any process had been expedited for Caruso, noting that each of his multiple permits had been vetted and approved by the Planning Commission as well as the Board of Supervisors. She added that the Miramar has been a project of intense community concern for at least 15 years and predated Carbajal’s tenure on the board.

Rick Caruso (left) and Salud Carbajal

Caruso’s hotel efforts have come under scrutiny recently as members of the Montecito Association have suggested the developer might be dragging his feet. Caruso currently has all discretionary permits to begin construction, they noted, yet ground breaking has not begun. In 2012, Carbajal took up Caruso’s proposal for the county to waive transient occupancy taxes — worth an estimated $18 million — in order to expedite construction of what was then, and remains, a long-dormant hotel development plan. Caruso complained he needed relief from the crushing costs of construction. Ultimately, Caruso declined to pursue the benefits, citing requirements he deemed objectionable. Reports about the proposed deal feature prominently in the opposition research dossier compiled by the National Republican Congressional Committee on Carbajal. — Nick Welsh

The city’s finance department reported on 9/20 that for fiscal year (FY) 2016, Santa Barbara paid $24.3 million to CalpeRs for employee pensions, which represents around 8 percent of the city’s total operating expenses. As of June 30, 2014, there were 999 active city employees who are members of CalPERS, and 1,182 retirees receiving benefits. During FY 2015, 45 employees retired. Their combined salaries averaged $89,065. The report was compiled as City Hall drafts its FY 2017 budget. Finance Director Robert Samario noted that CalPERS is increasing its contribution rates over a five-year period to chip away at unfunded pension liabilities created by investment losses during the 2008-2009 recession.

A traveling exhibit of 1,100 backpacks (pictured above), representing the number of students who die each year by suicide, came to Santa Barbara City College on 9/20. Passersby were invited to walk among the exhibit, called Send Silence Packing, which featured memorial letters by friends and families.

Santa Barbara wine country’s future became clearer when the County Planning Commission approved an updated winery ordinance on 9/19 following nearly five years of discussion. Among the new rules is a provision to allow small wineries in rural zones to have 300 square-foot, appointment-only tasting rooms. The vote also eliminated the proposal that new winery production be at least 20 percent from grapes grown on the property; instead, new owners would have 30 days to comply with the applicable ordinance provisions. The sole dissenting vote came from Commissioner Cecilia Brown, who said, “I’m just hopeful that what is cont’d page 12 ~

Mother of All Gun-Violence Concerts Organizer Donna Dees

by Nick Welsh

ixteen years ago, Donna Dees cel-

ebrated Mother’s Day by organizing the Million Mom March on the nation’s capital to protest gun violence across America. Dees must have fallen short. Only 750,000 mothers showed up, no laws got changed, and the lead keeps flying. Dees and her co-conspirators did manage to extract one small consolation prize; in 2007, Congress declared September 25 the annual Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims. This year, it just so happens September 25 falls one day before the first presidential debate between candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It also happens to be the day that Dees has organized a 300-city musical event—dubbed the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence—to call yet more attention to the issue. In New York City, Eddie Vedder and Jackson Browne will be headlining the concert; in Santa Barbara it will be Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Zach Gill, and Ozomatli at the ever-redoubtable Arlington Theatre. Dees was available for a quick exchange beforehand, and the following is an abbreviated version. what was the lightbulb moment for you? It was the night of President Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address, just a few weeks after the Newtown shooting in Connecticut. Two women I had never met approached me and

Then, in August 2015, two bright young journalists were fatally shot live on TV in Roanoke, Virginia. I wrote “How to Organize the Mother of All Protests.” I have found that mobilizing with music can be more powerful than just a march with a bunch of speeches.

eduCAtION The painful conversation has begun at hope elementary school district about the $800,000 hole in which the district now sits. The debt was due to rapidly rising costs in special education and “a critical update” missed last year by the district’s former business manager, said school boardmember Chris Gallo, speaking to a few hundred concerned parents and teachers recently. Where cutting will occur is the focus of the district’s two-year recovery plan, approved by the Santa Barbara County Education Office. So far, suggestions have ranged from slashing classroom assistants and custodial and library hours, and even closing one of the district’s three elementary school campuses. The challenges of early childhood services in Santa Barbara, from health care to child care to pre-K programs — and achievement-gap issues for those without — are up for discussion at a town hall meeting tonight, September 22, from 5-7 p.m. at Santa Barbara High School. Hosted by Common Sense Kids Action and the Right Start Commission, the gathering will feature several speakers, including Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and UCSB’s Matthew Quirk.

Venoco announced last week it would plug lower lease wells and shut down Platform Holly and the Ellwood Onshore Facility (EOF) in 25 years should the State Lands Commission approve its lease line Adjustment, a proposal to extend drilling operations thousands of feet beyond its lease. The result could triple Venoco’s oil reserves to about 60 million barrels. Venoco’s lease has no termination date but is estimated to lose economic viability in 40 years or so. Environmental Defense Center chief counsel Linda Krop dismissed Venoco’s “grand compromise,” stating, “They want to drill into what is protected as part of the California state sanctuary.” Production remains shut since last May’s Refugio Oil Spill.

A settlement agreement between the county and environmental watchdog group Santa Barbara Channelkeeper over water pollution in Atascadero Creek went into effect this week. Sampling by Channelkeeper had revealed rain runoff from the county’s seven-acre recycling facility on Calle Real was depositing fecal indicator bacteria, sediments, and metals into the creek, where federally endangered steelhead live. The lawsuit was filed late last year and was quickly resolved. Channelkeeper’s Executive Director Kira Redmond said the county was “extremely cooperative” in developing ways to stop polluted runoff and contributed $43,000 toward a habitat restoration project. A bill coauthored by Assemblymember Das Williams that aims to reduce atmospheric methane, hydrofluorocarbons, and soot — all of which are relatively shortlived but have even higher global warming potential than CO2 — was signed into law 9/19 by Gov. Jerry Brown. Under SB 1383, which was introduced following the Paris climate change summit, emissions of soot pollutants would be reduced by 50 percent from 2013 levels by 2030. Methane emissions from dairy farms would be subject to a 40 percent reduction in the same time period. n

30 percent of city residents own lawns, meaning a small minority of the population would have to shoulder the additional conservation burden. Hotchkiss said he didn’t want people “to go around town talking about ‘those damn lawn people,’” adding, “The idea of driving around looking for violations is equally repugnant.” Councilmember Gregg Hart declared city residents appeared to have already met the new conservation targets delineated by Haggmark, noting Santa Barbarans used 42 percent less this August than last year. But to hit the 40 percent mark year-round, Haggmark said, residents would need to cut back by 45 percent or more in the summer months when most water is used. Haggmark, traditionally lukewarm to water bans and enforcement schemes, expressed serious concern Santa Barbara might not have enough water to get through the hot months of next summer if it doesn’t rain. The city’s new desalination plant is scheduled to come online late January—several months later than initially expected—and he cautioned that further delays remain within the realm of possibility.

As a result, he said, Santa Barbara could only bank on half that water arriving. Former mayor Sheila Lodge urged the council to take more dramatic action and supported a building moratorium. The past 15 months, she said, were the hottest 15 consecutive months in recorded history. Art Ludwig, a conservation consultant, noted that since the drought started, city residents had poured 14,000 acre-feet of water on their lawns. If a lawn ban had been enacted, he said, 5,400 acre-feet could be parked in Lake Cachuma. Although the councilmembers were clearly split, they directed Haggmark to lay the groundwork for a ban that could be adopted early next year if it doesn’t rain this winter, likewise for a drought impact fee. n

A total of more than 1,000 firefighters from federal, state, and local agencies are fighting the blaze, which began Saturday afternoon in a remote canyon on the U.S. Air Force property. Its cause remains under investigation. Ventura firefighter Ryan Osler, 38, was killed early Wednesday morning in a rollover crash on Highway 246 near Purisima Road as he and another firefighter drove a water tender toward Vandenberg. The extent of the other firefighter’s injuries are unknown. On Sunday, the fire delayed the launch of an Atlas V rocket and its commercial satellite. Culturally significant Chumash sites, wildlife habitats, and watersheds remain under threat, base officials said. As of Wednesday morning, no structures had been damaged, and several base buildings lost power. Smoke continues to impact much of the Central Coast, with onshore breezes expected to carry it farther inland.

On the Rey Fire, declared fully contained on September 16, U.S. Forest Service aerial crews had dropped more than 1.3 million gallons of retardant and nearly 1.5 million gallons of water, according to federal officials, adding that those numbers do not include water drops by Santa Barbara County Fire Department. At its peak, 2,020 personnel were assigned to the wildfire, which started on August 18 in White Rock Day-Use Area on Paradise Road and burned for four weeks across Rancho San Fernando Rey and the Los Padres National Forest. While the cause remains under investigation officially, witnesses at the fire’s origin site said an oak tree fell across power lines. The fire cost a total of $27,639,760. Also in the Los Padres, the Soberanes Fire in Big Sur on September 19 became the federal agency’s most costly suppression effort, now approaching $200 million. With one fatality and 57 homes in its wake, the Soberanes has burned more than 121,000 acres since July 22. Officials said it was caused by an illegal campfire. As of September 21, the fire was 71 percent contained, with more than 2,000 personnel assigned. — Indy Staff

murdered each year that a day was needed to remember the loss. We’re still waiting for Congress to actually do something about the murder rate. how many people have been killed by gun violence since that day was enacted? There are nearly 12,000 gun murders a year. Check my math, but that’s 108,000 murdered by firearm since 2007. Despite falling crime rates, that annual number has barely changed since the late 1990s. Aside from good intentions, what bills have had impact in reducing gun violence? I’m not a policy expert, but the experts all agree on the immediate need to strengthen the Brady background-check law to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers, and the dangerously mentally ill. Most also agree on the need for safe storage laws to keep guns out of the hands of children. In America your chance of being shot by a toddler far exceeds the chance you’ll be killed by a terrorist. where do you think progress is being made?

Every Dog Has Its Day

THE AUDACITY OF ARROGANCE: It’s come to this. Republican congressional candidate Justin Fareed and I, it would

seem, are not talking. Maybe it’s not 100 percent official but close enough for government work. Given the signature tag line for most of Fareed’s TV commercials is Justin promising, “We’ll talk more later,” this is a striking turn of events. It’s even more striking because Justin and I never spoke in the first place. Yes, I sat in on his endorsement interview for the primary. But other than that, not one syllable. Perhaps I ruined things a couple of weeks ago when I asked Fareed’s camp for comment on the sudden and abrupt retirement announced by Justin’s political godfather and mentor, Kentucky Congressmember Ed Whitfield, shortly after Whitfield had been rebuked and reproved by the House Committee on Ethics for long-standing ethics violations involving his wife, a professional and registered lobbyist. To the extent Fareed—campaigning as swaggering Dude-Brah millennial outsider, storming the corrupt barricades of the status quo — has any meaningful experience, it’s the 15 months he spent working as legislative aide for Whitfield between July 2012 and September 2013. To the extent the sperm of public service and the egg of political ambition have collided fruitfully inside of Justin Fareed, it was under the guidance and tutelage of Ed Whitfield, a soft-spoken conservative hard-liner with 11 terms under his Inside-the-Beltway belt.

Fareed — a brash, fresh-faced, 28-year-old Montecito upstart unencumbered by any relevant experience in the local political trenches— surprised a lot of us on election night this June by beating GOP favorite Katcho Achadjian —a former S.L.O. County supervisor and three-term state assemblymember much beloved by the party’s older establishment. When representatives for The Independent made our election-night rounds, we were denied entrance to Fareed’s victory party. We had not, we were told, submitted RSVPs in a timely fashion. This went down in my book as another punk-ass move. Lastly, Fareed blew off a debate The Independent had hoped to host between him and his Democratic rival Salud Carbajal. We thought we had verbal commitments from both candidates for a September 8 date. But then, inexplicably, we found out from the Fareed camp we didn’t. In this context, let’s just say I was “surprised” to read a Fareed campaign email, dated September 16, complaining that Carbajal “won’t agree to a forum or debate until after the ballots drop.” For the record, Carbajal was ready, willing, and able to make the September 8 debate. Returning to Whitfield, that he had fled office under taint of scandal, I figured, seemed legit grist for any reportorial mill. To the extent Justin may have played a supporting role—however unwittingly—in that ongoing ethics violation seemed likewise relevant information that might illuminate his much-trum-

WHAT, ME WORRY? Fareed’s mentor Ed Whitfield abruptly left office this year under the cloud of an ethics scandal.

Lobbyist spouses are not to be given special access; it doesn’t look good. Fareed, according to transcripts released by the committee, worked on a bill backed by Whitfield’s wife that would abolish certain barbaric practices designed to make Tennessee Walking Horses walk in a fancy-prancy style. It was hardly the crime of the century, and the cause was just. But when Whitfield was called to answer for crossing a very clear line, his excuse was he didn’t know his wife had been a lobbyist for the Humane Society. Really? Whitfield’s chief of staff was sufficiently aware of the situation that he testified he contacted congressional rule-making bodies twice a month to make sure ethical lines weren’t being crossed. It was hardly an isolated event. Whitfield and his wife were also real estate partners with a high-powered lobbyist—and close personal friend—whose clients, according to investigative reporters in Kentucky, would donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to Whitfield’s campaigns over the years.

But nobody in Sacramento called Santa Barbara to offer a heads-up. Assemblymember Das Williams responded with a piece of legislation giving the district first dibs on the armory, at fair market value. While Governor Brown signed the legislation into law just last week, the school district has been prepping its bond measure since the spring, and an appraisal of the armory is now in the works by Alison Moore, a longtime Santa Barbara resident and former Santa Barbara Bank & Trust chief review appraiser now in private practice. “It’s a complex appraisal, in terms of historical significance and development options,” she said.

Arthur “Jerry” Boyd Ward (4/9/1932-9/14/2016) grew up in Darien, CT and attended Phillips Academy Andover, MA followed by two years at Johns Hopkins playing lacrosse. He completed a two-year tour in the Air Force in Lubbock, TX and eventually graduated from UC Berkeley in 1958. He married his “other half ”, Patricia Green and had been married for 53 years. His joy was to make people smile and laugh, which he accomplished everywhere he went. Jerry loved the New York Jets, dogs, Johnny Walker Red, good food, anything Italian, and having morning coffee on the front stoop listening to Pat read the New York Times to him after he could no longer read. His local haunts were Harry’s, Brophy’s, and the Santa Barbara Sailing Center. Jerry joined Veterans for Peace and for a decade helped erect the crosses at Arlington West. His clothes have been and will be donated to homeless veterans and he would encourage others to donate theirs as well at the Veterans Memorial building (ask for Carmen).

Grace Merriman Thompson Altus

01/06/24-09/13/16

Grace Merriman Thompson Altus died on September 13, 2016 after an extended illness. She was born at home on Paterna Road in Santa Barbara on January 6th, 1924, the youngest child of former State Senator James Roderick Thompson and Mary Merriman Thompson. Grace attended the Santa Barbara Girls School until it closed in 1938 and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1940. She was Valedictorian of the class of 1944 at Santa Barbara State College. After briefly working as a mathematics teacher at a junior high school in Redlands, CA, she went on to earn a PhD in Psychology from U.C. Berkeley in 1949 at the age of 25. At Berkeley, Grace lived at International House -- an experience she treasured that led to life-long friendships. She completed post-doctoral training at Columbia University and went on to a career as a school psychologist, first as the head of guidance for Santa Barbara County schools and then for Goleta Union School District. Grace married William (Bill) David Altus, a psychology professor at UCSB, in 1951. While nepotism laws prevented her from getting a faculty position, she enjoyed mentoring university interns in her school psychology job and co-authoring papers with her husband. Her research interests included the study of factors that influence school achievement and test patterns in children. As a result of this work, she was named a fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Psychological Association, and was listed in Who’s Who of American

Women. Bill and Grace had three daughters: Martha Altus-Buller (Lewis Buller), Elizabeth "Betty" Willis, and Deborah Altus (Jerrold Jost); and three grandchildren: Geof Geoffrey Willis, Gwendolyn Willis and Elijah Jost. Grace was always quick to say that being a mother brought her the deepest happiness in her life. Once her children were grown, she turned to competitive master’s swimming in her spare time, eventually setting a national age-group record for the hour swim and a world age-group record for 1500 meters at age 75, the latter earning her recognition in Sports Illustrated. She was also part of a national record-setting relay team and was a devoted member of the Santa Barbara Swim Club, greatly enjoying the many friendships she made in the pool. In retirement, she served as a docent for the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum, an escort for Planned Parenthood, a volunteer for Transition House, and delivered meals for Meals on Wheels. She was a member of the Santa Barbara Unitarian Society and a life member of the Sierra Club – her fondness for the Sierra developed during backpack trips she took with Bill before her children were born and the many summer vacations she spent hiking in Little Lakes Valley (near Mammoth) with her family. Sundays often found her doing the Times crossword puzzle and comparing progress with friends, taking brisk beach walks with her sister Jean, tending her garden, and identifying birds that she loved to watch in her yard. She was a voracious reader, always with a book nearby, and delighted in taking her children and grandchildren to Chaucer's Bookstore for a gift when they came to visit. A lover of words, she enjoyed reciting poems from heart that she learned at the Girls School, enthusiastically participated in creative writing classes in retirement, and did the Jumble in the morning paper up until days before her death. Though growing up in the Depression with a father who was incapacitated by an early heart attack did not leave resources for music lessons, she had a natural ear for music and was known to break into song as she went about her daily tasks. In her typically thoughtful and generous fashion, she nurtured her children's musical interests and ensured that they had access to the lessons for which she had yearned. Grace was preceded in death by her husband and her three siblings, James Roderick Thompson, Jr., Elizabeth Thompson Estes, and Jean Thompson Leonard. The family is deeply grateful for the care provided to Grace during her final illness by Delcher Jarman, Lorna Ross, Marisol Lorenzo and Delores (Lola) Falcon. Memorial contributions may be sent to Planned Parenthood, The Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara, or a charity of your choice. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

state of Play he cage match campaign for the White House remains Hillary Clinton’s to lose. Less than 50 days before the election, she seems equal to the task. A new rash of scary polling for Clinton followed a late-summer series of unforced errors by the Democratic nominee (most asinine: trying to keep secret the fact she had pneumonia — really, Hillary?). Combined with the success of Donald Trump’s Campaign Team 3.0 to make him appear mildly sane for periods of up to 48 hours, the new numbers predictably induced a new round of political bed-wetting by Hollywood lefties and other liberal types (“I’m freaked out,” one prominent pro-Hillary producer bawled to the TMZlite website The Wrap). In a polarized nation, however, the presidential contest inevitably was bound to tighten by autumn: Clinton’s post-convention bulge in the polls was a news-driven blip, and legions of erstwhile Never Trump Republicans since decided to hold their noses, trudge back home, and cast an Anyone but Hillary GOP vote. Four key factors will determine if Hillary ultimately blows it on November 8. PEEVY EVs: Presidential races, of course,

are not national plebiscites, but 51 separate state elections (don’t forget plucky D.C.). So while Clinton still holds a small but significant lead in the projected popular vote, it is her recent slide in key toss-up states — Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, and North Carolina — that most troubles Team Hillary. Still, her worst-case scenario at the leading interactive electoral vote forecast outfits (best bets for Clintonites who wish to torture themselves daily: Google “538,”“270 to Win,”“Real Clear Politics,” and/or “Sabato’s Crystal Ball”) shows how she could lose all five and still win the presidency. thiRD PARtY MiLLENNiALs: Crucial

slices of the electorate currently favoring Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson (8.5 percent) or Jill Stein of the Green Party (3 percent) suggest third parties in 2016 could play their most consequential role since 2000 (hello, Ralph Nader!). Their support comes mostly at the expense of Clinton, according to most surveys. Hillary’s worst news here is that armies of 18- to 34-year-old voters, a key part of the Obama coalition, are meh, at best, about her candidacy, after overwhelmingly favoring primary rival Bernie Sanders; one major poll shows 44 percent of millennials support Johnson or Stein. The fact that a substantial majority of the entire electorate presumes that Clinton is not honest is bad enough. However, that belief is magnified strikingly among the munchkin class: According to the respected

Quinnipiac Poll, the 18-34 cohort judges her dishonest by an extraordinary ratio of 77 percent to 21 percent, “There’s something deeper, and darker, about millennial opposition to Clinton and the attendant blitheness toward the prospect of a Trump presidency,” millennial political writer James Kirchick asserted last week, in a contentious piece at The Daily Beast. “It’s best described as a mix of moral relativism, historical ignorance, and narcissism … “[The] main reason for millennial apathy toward the possibility of a Trump victory, I suspect, is a lack of historical understanding,” he added. “Millennials, particularly American ones, are too young to have any memories of the Cold War, never mind World War II, when fascists ruled Europe and millions of people died as a result. Trump’s echoes of fascist movements past has no resonance with us.” UNFit FOR sERViCE: Perhaps it’s merely a failure of benighted imagination, but it’s hard to envision Americans electing as president a person they overwhelmingly agree is unfit for office. Over at Vox, an excellent analysis of Quinnipiac’s national survey yielded these numbers: just 38 percent of those surveyed said Trump is qualified to be commander in chief (compared to 62 percent for Clinton); about 70 percent said he lacks the experience for the job (about 70 percent said she has it); nearly 70 percent said The Donald is “not levelheaded” (more than 60 percent said The Hill is); more than 60 percent said “the way Donald Trump speaks appeals to bigotry.” thREE ROUNDs FOR thE ChAMPiONshiP: Of course, the Republican has

a splendid opportunity to prove those perceptions wrong: the three upcoming, 90-minute presidential debates. If such a thing is possible, Trump needs to check his Wild Man instincts with a performance that convinces people he is a plausible president. By contrast, Hillary’s challenge is to present a positive rationale for her candidacy that goes beyond I’mnot-Trump and fires up key factions of the Democratic base now tepid about her campaign. Round One is Monday, September 26. Hillary needs to clean his clock. n

Dubious About Prop

y first instinct was to write this anonymously; there is no telling when the marijuana issue will flip back like mass deportations of Mexican immigrants historically does. And the public discussion about the issue is harder when the sides have bottom lines they protect. The sheriff is concerned that advertising will lead our children to a life as pot zombies. A decade or so ago, I asked my high-school-age daughter if the survey I’d read was true; did 50 percent of high school students smoke pot? She rolled her eyes and said, “Dad, everyone smokes pot.” She’s a 33-year-old wife, mother, and business owner now. I’d like to see America quit jailing poor people for marijuana, but I don’t know if legalizing it, with regulations to protect corporate profits, is something I can vote for. My community doesn’t permit dispensaries, but for the past 50 years, if someone in the community is sick and needs help, they get it. If need be, it’s free. By the way, my high is that early-morning, deep, full breath of fresh air. It’s my normal today, but once upon a time my normal sucked, and I would do anything to escape it. Maybe the issue isn’t the pot but what’s missing in people’s normal. But if pot helps them, it’s a hell of a lot better than what our civilization has thus far —John Moyer, S.B. legalized for them.

Foolish Disrespect

or the Pierre Claeyssens Veterans Foundation, I am responding to Starshine Roshell’s uninformed response to Colin Kaepernick’s display of dishonor to the flag and the United States of America [independent .com/kaepernickers]. She obviously didn’t research the history of the anthem, the flag, and honoring the U.S. military. Just a Google search would have answered her questions, but as an old soldier, I will try. First, her question “When did the NFL begin French kissing the armed forces?”: These recognitions

are nothing new. There is tremendous respect for our fallen non-veteran citizens — look at the Oklahoma City Memorial or the 9/11 Museum. However, it seems quite natural that paramount recognition goes to veterans who wore the uniform when they died. Her question of “Who decided” about displaying the flag is recorded in history — declared by Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and by Congress in 1931. Being reminded, occasionally, that men and women served and continue serving to defend our freedom is appropriate. And they don’t do it for the high pay. In our country, anyone can display dissent at any forum. But, the protest must be based on the facts of what that symbolic sit down/fist in the air/unwillingness to cross your heart during both the Pledge of Allegiance and the Viewing of the Colors means. It shows a lack of respect for your country, and your flag. Think that’s okay? Go do it. But understand that this is the only country in the world that tolerates this, and you don’t get arrested or even harassed. Winston Churchill said: “Where there is a great deal of free speech, there is always a certain amount of foolish speech.”

—John W. Blankenship, S.B.

Jazzy State Street at Night

BARS ARE SWINGING: Saturday night in

downtown Santa Barbara, the bars are raging, the noise is deafening, college-age kids are dancing and pouring down rivers of booze, and the tourists are slouching along, bug-eyed at the bizarreness of it all, leading wide-eyed, thumb-sucking children out a lot later then they’re used to. Taxies are lined up, waiting to take survivors home to their beds or someone else’s. Bouncers and age-checkers in black T-shirts guard the club entrances. Many Santa Barbarans dare not get near this end of State Street on a weekend night, fearing for their safety or eardrums or mental equilibrium in this vortex of vertigo, flashing lights, swirling crowds, and the danger of being run down by a runaway stroller. It was not always this way. Back when I moved to town in the 1960s, the joke was that you could fire a cannon down State Street and not hit anything or anyone except a lone wino. These days, Joe’s Café, once the place to go, faces competition from a new, throbbing crop of neon dance-drink-and-hook-up night spots whose fickle clientele swarm from one club to another like restless birds at nesting time. But amid the madness, there’s at least one oasis of sanity. There, as one patron put it, people come for the music, not the alcohol, though that’s available, too. I speak of

the James Joyce. There on Saturday nights, beginning at 7:30, the band Ulysses Jasz (that’s the traditional way they spell it) plays songs mostly from the 1920s and 1930s to a bouncy New Orleans beat. They’ve been doing it at the James Joyce for 18 years, with changing personnel. My daughter/designated driver Wendy and I set off to arrive well before 7 p.m. to assure ourselves of good seats. But as we walked along Cota Street, we heard a joyous burst of sidewalk music and came across the musicians that play for patrons waiting to get into the Palace Grill, 8 East Cota Street. The food is Cajun-Creole, and the music fits. If you get there around 6 p.m., the Zydeco Zippers are playing hot music that evolved from French Creole speakers. J.T. Whitney is the leader. His dad, Ralph, plays washboard.

his year year,, when we polled our staff, concon tributors, and trusted cadre of restaurantloving friends, more than 30 nominations poured in for our seventh annual Foodie Awards, from the priciest places in town all the way to tasty, much-easier-on-the-wallet much taquerías. To us, that’s strong evidence that the restaurant scene continues to evolve, expand, and excite in Santa Barbara, where the culinary culture shows no signs of abating. After much discussion, we trimmed that list of 30-plus down to these 10 Foodie Award winners, which represent a wide variety of dining cuisines, service styles, and price points. Enjoy reading, and then start eating!

Funk Zone FavoriTe award a

moNy’s y’s mExica xicaN Food

hen it first opened three years ago, Mony’s

Mexican Food was a Funk Zone secret, a tiny taquería hidden inside of a nondescript building on lower Anacapa Street, around the corner from the strip joint and next to the adult bookstore. But as the neighborhood’s winemakers and artists started spreading the word about tasty taco meats and refreshingly inventive salsas, the low buzz grew into a tidal wave of popularity. Today, drive by Mony’s during lunchtime, and you’ll find a line out the door and tables packed with smiling faces, juices dripping off their chins. The visionary is Mony Diaz, the native of Colima, Mexico, who began driving and cooking on a food truck 16 years ago. She and her husband, Jose Diaz, first used the building for the Hidden Dolphin Café, but primarily used its kitchen for catering. Then in July 2013, the Diaz family reopened the space as Mony’s, where you can find al pastor, asada, cabeza, buche, and other meats, both familiar and exotic, as well as peanut and pistachio salsas. “When I cook, I cook for my family,” said Diaz, whose husband and kids are integral to the operation.“You can taste it in my food. As a family-run business, we are all part of the process.”

pon opening with the rest of the Santa Barbara Public Market

in April 2014, Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bar was the immediate superstar, serving up hot bowls of noodle soups and curries, as well as larb lettuce tacos, family-recipe pot stickers, and much more. It all came together because owners Jerry Lee and Emre Balli convinced their friend Nui Pannak, a longtime waitress at Zen Yai, to start cooking commercially for the first time. “She always cooked for me at her house, and it was delicious,” said Lee. “I thought, ‘We gotta do something about this.’ ” The result was a contemporary and fresh spin on Thai comfort street food, based on meticulously sourced ingredients that are hand prepared each day before landing in popular dishes such as the Northern Thailand Curry Noodle “Khoa Soi,” Bangkok Street Noodle, and the Hangover Noodle. “We’re just trying to do clean, natural, organic, nice food,” said Lee, who likes that his mom’s pot stickers remain a favorite and that even vegans can find plenty to enjoy. “I wanted something fresh and lively, so much that you could taste it.” 38 W.

Raul Gil

no need For Lunch award

El ZarapE’s

BrEakFast Burrito

ome people are known to jog in the mornings just to feel righteous while eating an El Zarape breakfast burrito afterward. It packs the simple deliciousness of egg, rice, and beans, but then they leave it on the griddle for some extra crispy flavor. “The secret is that so much can be done in a breakfast burrito, such as adding beans and pasilla pepper, to make it even better,” confesses owner Raul Gil. “We recently had an order for 450 breakfast burritos ranging from bacon, ham, and potatoes all the way to a carnitas and chorizo asada. For the first time, we even included a gluten-free burrito.” Breakfast is just the start for this Westside institution, where neighbors come in with their own pots and bowls to haul out family-sized helpings of menudo and carnitas. Then there are delights such as the shrimp quesadilla and salsas that rival any in town. “Some readers may be surprised to know that we do quite a bit of catering, from Funk Zone gatherings to wedding rehearsals,” Gil adds. “It is so rewarding to be part of many events where food is such a focal point.” 1435 San Andres St.; 899-2711

have excelled on the national stage as prominently as The Habit Burger Grill, which originally started in Old Town Goleta as the Hamburger Habit. Brothers Bruce and Brent Reichard, who began working there at age 16 in 1976, purchased the restaurant in 1980 and slowly grew it into a national chain, now with more than 160 franchises across the Brent (left) and Bruce Reichard country. The company went public in 2014, raising $90 million on the first day, and then Consumer Reports called it the best burger in America that same year. Better yet, when the Reichards sold most of the business to an equity firm in 2007, they maintained direct ownership of the Habits in Santa Barbara County, including the original spot and the ones at La Cumbre Plaza and on State and Milpas streets. “We have so many great employees, some who’ve been with us for 32 years, and we didn’t want anything to happen,” said Brent. “And we get to do our own thing, which is really cool.” That’s why the Goleta location is the only one that sells the chili burger, which was one of The Habit’s three original items. Brent credits hard work and good luck for their success, as well as not moving too fast.“We took our time,” he said. “The most important part of the business is hiring and training the right people to deliver consistent quality and reasonable prices. That’s what we’re all about.” 628 State St., 216 S Milpas St., 3890 la Cumbre Plaza, 5735 hollister Ave., goleta, and 888 embarcadero del norte, isla Vista; habitburger.com

lenty of restaurants sponsor the occasional fundraiser, but Kyle’s Kitchen builds charity

into every transaction, donating proceeds to a different nonprofit each month. Since Jay and Deena Ferro opened the restaurant in Goleta in December 2014, they’ve raised more than $80,000 for nearly 20 different causes, all in the name of their 12-year-old son, Kyle, who was born with a brain injury. “What we really wanted to do is honor our son,” said Deena.“He’s always had this social nature about him. He can really reach people and touch them. He doesn’t hesitate to go out and give anyone hugs.” The idea for Kyle’s Kitchen emerged when the Ferros, who first founded Silvergreens in Isla Vista in 1995, wanted to combine a new restaurant with giving back. They developed an affordable yet sustainably sourced menu around burgers and salads, which are Kyle’s favorite foods, and then they started inviting special-needs organizations to benefit from the cash and, more importantly, the attention raised. “Our community has opened its arms to us, and we are so appreciative of that,” said Deena, who expanded the concept to their downtown Silvergreens, as well.“Just the amount of love that Kyle receives from every person that comes in the door is really overwhelming, and it touches my husband and me deeply.”

rostini of seasonal mushrooms — that’s all the menu says, but the

plate tells so much more. First, they will be the best mushrooms available for the time of year you are dining — they really do mean seasonal. Second, the stock will be rich, wine-laced, and reduced. Third, the bread will be crustily worthy of the sopping you’ll want to do. That’s just one delightful dish at hidden gem Petit Valentien, modestly serving up some of Santa Barbara’s best traditional French fare for nearly a decade. “While we offer both classic French as well as a more modern cuisine,” owner Robert Dixon said,“people love the classic dishes for the comfortfood quality.” And what’s wrong with comfort? I know people who go to Petit Valentien just to have their salads because they love their dressings so. And that’s not even mentioning the value, with most entrées clocking in at under $20. That leaves you more money to explore the well-curated wine list of French and regional producers, including Jaffurs, La Fenêtre, Fiddlehead, and The Hill). Then there’s the La Arcada location. “We have become a restaurant geared more to the locals,” said Dixon.“Being off State Street gives us a quiet outdoor dining experience without cars zooming by.”

Killer croissant — you got it. Scrumptious scone — no problem. Eggin-a-jar — poached perfection. “We look at Bob’s Well Bread as creating something nurturing for our community,” said Bob, “certainly for Los Alamos, but beyond our little town as well. Many a casual drop-in guest has turned into a loyal customer. Baking is absolutely a hard but satisfying profession. Feeding people’s souls is the best reward, especially seeing the look of joy on so many faces.” The Oswaks, along with head baker Eric Henning and chef de cuisine Wayne Pratt, make magic out of the best basic ingredients, a riotous delight of essential tastes.

elcome to the wine bar where, even if you ask pretty please, you won’t get charcuterie and cheese.“Our wine list and menu are already so unique, so people don’t expect the ‘normal’ standbys,” said Jeremy Bohrer, co-owner with Sayward Rebhal of Five & ¼. “We’ve worked hard to come up with a menu of small plates from around the world, with flavors that pair well with wine but in unexpected ways. We also feature local, seasonal produce, and I think people really appreciate that.” You might get a savory chickpea flour pancake or Sri Lankan curry hot pocket with your Safer, Stranger, Geeky, or Daredevil wine (those are the actual, helpful categories). This weekend pop-up in the Pacific Crêpes space has a European yet hip yet homespun vibe, so people will be sipping a Masseria Li Veli Susumaniello from Puglia while shouting “Yahtzee!” (Game playing is encouraged.) “We found ourselves wishing for a place where we could just chill in a relaxed atmosphere and try funky, weird wines — but not have to spend an arm and a leg,” Bohrer said. “So that’s the place we opened. We want to encourage people to try new things, and that’s why we keep the list at $7 to $12 per glass. Our wine is for everyone!”

But for the past year, they’ve been serving some of that bounty of the sea themselves from their casual restaurant downtown. Go no further than their tacos, which range from a sort of California traditional crispy beer-battered fish to a Korean take with kalbi-marinated salmon, kimchi aioli, pickled cucumber, cilantro slaw, and red chili sesame salsa to the Pacific, which is swordfish, poblano peppers, onions, cabbage, pico de gallo, and house salsa. “We wanted to have a little fun with the tacos and take them to the next level, beyond your basics,” said Randee Disraeli, who owns Kanaloa with her husband, Don Disraeli. “We’re trying all kinds of flavor profiles and taking cues from around the world — from Asia to the Mediterranean and beyond. Everyone loves tacos, and we hope to continue satisfying those cravings!” They’re enjoying the shift to prepared food service, though they still sell fresh seafood, as well.

OceanFest celebrates Ucsb’s reeF

Paddling for ethan e “ H

by Paul Wellman

suits me well. Firefighter John Ford paddled the entire trip when his wife, Tara Haaland-Ford, was the beneficiary in 2013, but I get winded just getting to a boat anchored five minutes from shore. Supposedly, our relay shifts are just 20 minutes long every couple of hours, but 20 minutes feels like two hours when you’re lying on your stomach and lifting your chest and head off the board while paddling a freestyle stroke. I’m anxious for Saturday, with compounding concerns about my capabilities, the wind, ocean tankers, and curious (read: curiously hungry) wildlife. And no matter how much you get in the water, when you’re in the middle of the Santa Barbara Channel on a 12-foot board, you feel as if you’re in over their head. But that’s the point, as it gives at least slight insight into what Ethan and so many others with cancer are going through. With fear, hope, struggle, mortality, and, most importantly, support, it’s a team-building trust fall in 4,000-foot ocean waters, and everyone has skin in the game. It’s also a fundraiser, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the honoree. That can be spent on anything, be it frivolous or practical, but nearly every dime has or will be spent attempting to cover the cost of health care required for survival. Even just preparing for the event has commandeered my thoughts and made me reflect on life’s priorities. The thought of Ethan; his extended family; his amazing wife, Anna; and beautiful, destined-for-greatness daughter, Sawyer, brings hair-trigger tears. I want to do this right. I hope to pull my weight. I need to make a difference. We will all make a difference. jesse ferreira

ey, how would you like to be part of my Friendship Paddle on September 24?” asked my good friend and longtime colleague Ethan Stewart a couple of weeks ago. “I’m in,” I quickly replied, envisioning kayakers and surfers cruising around the Channel Islands for a fun afternoon. I had no idea what was in store: Since then, my neck, mid-back, and rotator cuffs haven’t found anything friendly about it. The paddle began in 2003 when friends and family of Doug McFadden, who had inoperable brain cancer, decided to raise money and spirits by paddling on prone and stand-up paddleboards 30 miles or so from Santa Cruz Island to the mainland across the Santa Barbara Channel. Donations and goodwill flowed in. Doug’s life expectancy was doubled, and, every year since, the Friendship Paddle crew honors a new person from Santa Barbara County. This year they chose Ethan, who’s written about his pancreatic cancer and major, exhausting operations on these pages. He’s a natural choice since his connections to the ocean and the environment are deep and span continents, including work as a journalist on climate change, ocean acidification, natural resources, and the Gaviota Coast. Despite the physical challenges coming, I was honored to be asked by Ethan, who also enlisted Indy senior editor Matt Kettmann. We’re part of the West Coast relay team, but there’s also an East Coast team, comprising Ethan’s Cape Cod connections; as of last count, there were nearly 100 people planning to take part in the paddle. We start at dawn this Saturday and should hit Miramar Beach in Montecito between 2 and 5 p.m., depending on the weather. With just weeks to prepare and not being a surfer or paddler, the fish-out-of-water analogy

DAWN OF HEALING: The author is participating in this year’s Friendship Paddle, which leaves from the Channel Islands at dawn on Saturday, to honor his friend and colleague Ethan Stewart, pictured below with his wife, Anna, and daughter, Sawyer.

ucked between the sandy bluffs, tranquil lagoon, and waves of Campus Point, UCSB’s REEF is where more than 10,000 Santa Barbara schoolkids are introduced to the underwater world each year. Designed and developed 13 years ago by Scott Simon, who was hired in 2003 as outreach coordinator for the Marine Science Institute, the REEF, or Research Experience and Education Facility, teaches STAR STUDENT: Scott Simon shows Madeline, kids about the more than 200 4, a sea star. types of organisms that live right off the coast, from swell sharks, moray eels, and octopus, to abalone, sea cucumbers, and limpets. And it does so all through the lens of various studies underway on campus, where students and faculty analyze everything from the die-off of anchovy and abalone fisheries to ocean currents, acidification, climate change, and kelp forest ecology. “We connect the community with the research that is going on at UCSB,” said Simon, who believes that focus sets the REEF apart from the Sea Center on Stearns Wharf, where he once worked. Though younger students are the primary audience, all ages of the public can visit the facility each weekend, and UCSB undergrads also frequent the REEF, including writing, art, oceanography, and environmental studies classes. Throw in summer camps, and about 20,000 people a year touch these tanks, many, if not most, surprised to learn how much wonder hides just a few yards offshore. “A lot of people only see the ocean from the surface,” said Simon. “They don’t realize that the kelp forests and rocky reefs can be just as beautiful as a tropical sea.” There is, however, a tropical tank, as well, reflecting UCSB’s ongoing projects on the coral reefs of Mo’orea. It houses, among other colorful species, the colorfully named humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Since it’s also called the Picasso triggerfish, one art teacher recently used it to explore cubism with her students, just one example of the REEF’s multidisciplinary reach. Another is that while most of the 30 undergrad volunteers that work for Simon each year are aquatic biology majors, some are from political science, psychology, and other fields. “A passion for the ocean and the environment is the minimum criteria,” he said. Many of Simon’s past volunteers have gone on to work in aquariums and as teachers, including San Marcos High’s Kate Standerfer, who was chosen from a national search to board Robert Ballard’s E/V Nautilus expedition this past summer. The REEF also teaches teachers and is able to localize, for instance, the nationally developed 6th grade curriculum on ocean science. “Not only are we having the schools bring the kids here, but we’re bringing the ocean to their classrooms,” said Simon. After more than a dozen years flying under the sonar, it’s about time that the greater Santa Barbara community knew more, which is why the REEF is hosting an OceanFest this Sunday. “This is one of the best-kept secrets,” said Simon, somewhat sheepishly, as if he still doesn’t want too many to know. “This is really for the locals.” —Matt Kettmann

This Sunday, September 24, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., the REEF and UCSB Sustainability are hosting OceanFest, a free event that includes tours, tide pooling, face painting, surfing, kayaking, beach walks, live music, and more. See msi.ucsb.edu/reef.

Crushing on

MoMMy Tonk

ou guys, I found my soul mates, and they’re two ballsy broads who sing about parenting, shopping, and recreational drugs. The vulgar vixens in question are Stacie Burrows and Shannon Noel of the comedy musical duo Mommy Tonk—and if I played guitar and grew up in Arkansas singing in the church choir, then I swear to you we’d be a damned trio. Like me, these flippant females each have two sons, recognize Target as the Holy Land, and channel the myriad frustrations of motherhood into their craft with bracing honesty, in the hopes of making people laugh. To quote one of Mommy Tonk’s own songs:“I’ve got a mom crush.” Naughty mommies, if you haven’t noticed, are having a moment. There was Betty Draper and those saucily captioned vintage 1950s postcards. (One on my fridge features a grinning, aproned housewife addressing her child:“What am I making for supper? Why, sweetie, I’m making whatever the hell I want served with a side of eat it or starve.”) There are the popular blogs Rage Against the Minivan and Moms Who Drink and Swear. There’s the “being a good mom is impossible” movie Bad Moms in theaters now, and its more promising sister-wife Fun Mom Dinner, set to release next year. And this Sunday evening at Center Stage Theater, there’s Mommy Tonk and their gorgeous harmonies — backed by the bluegrass band the Assless Chaps — bemoaning their resentment for moms with hired help, for people who think their dogs are babies, and for school auctions that peddle anything other than “Booze and Weed” (“Sell us something that we need / Sell us something we can use”). “We’ve been called the Tenacious D for Moms,” Stacie told me. Raised in Texas, she did stand-up comedy in New York before moving to Los Angeles, where she was a student at the email: starshine@roshell.com famous Groundlings comedy workshop. Shannon hails from Kentucky, and toured the country with a traveling children’s theater before doing sketch comedy with L.A.’s Second City. They met seven years ago when both were doing funny bits in the show Expressing Motherhood. “Shannon goes onstage wearing literally nothing but a breast pump and some pajama pants,” Stacie recalled.“And I’m like—well, who the hell is this ray of sunshine?” “We hit it off instantly,” Shannon said. “We both have a country flavor to us, and we have a ridiculous amount of fun. You know that surgery they do on conjoined twins to separate them? We’re going to have the opposite. We’re going to be joined.” Together they riff on the hilarity of raising children in Tinseltown, turn their venting into tunes, and record the ditties on their iPhones. “We have an impressive catalog of music,” Stacie said,“that can’t be sung anywhere near children.” For example, she wrote a love song to her husband called “Get Off Your ---, You ----ing ---hole.” He enjoyed it so much, he surprised her by showing up at one of her gigs with his own guitar — and his own rendition of the lyrics, which he sung to her on the spot: “Get Off My Back, You ----ing Nag.” While their audience is mainly moms, they often notice the husbands and boyfriends laugh loudest.“And we’ve had 20-year-olds who are just rolling,” Stacie said. “They’re like, ‘I never thought my mom was thinking those things — but now I realize she probably was!’” So if you’re a bad mom … or you had a bad mom … or you ever wondered what my column would sound like set to country music, you might get a chuckle out of the Mommy Tonk show this Sunday night. “I hope their stomachs hurt from laughing. I want to make them physically ill,” Shannon said.“And hopefully they have a buzz because there’s a bar there, too.”

Full-Moon touchdowns very once in a while, like a golden full moon rising

over the harbor on a clear Friday night, something spectacular happens in a high school football game. It was under just such a moon that Bishop Diego running back John Harris electrified a La Playa Stadium crowd by streaking 91 yards for a touchdown. Harris, a 62, 205-pound junior, is a runner of power and finesse. Taking a deep handoff or a pitchout, he surveys the wreckage along the line before picking a path through it. He runs with a forward lean, and defenders almost never stop him cold. A typical Harris run finishes with a pile of players being driven several yards beyond the point they first hit him. When Harris finds open space, it’s another story. In the second quarter of the Cardinals’ game against the St. Joseph Knights last Friday night, Harris broke loose on a carry from Bishop’s nine-yard line. He made a cut that left a defensive back gasping for air and took off down the left sideline. Another St. Joseph defender tried to run him down from behind, but the unyielding Harris won the frantic race to the end zone. It was the second big play of the night for Bishop Diego, as Isaiah Veal sped 88 yards to score on a kickoff return in the first quarter. But those haymakers were not enough for the Cardinals to win the showdown against their small-school counterparts from Santa Maria. St. Joseph handed them just their second defeat in their last 25 regularseason games, 21-17. Needing a first down to keep a potential game-winning drive alive in the final quarter, Bishop called Harris’s number on a pass pattern. He was open on the right sideline, but the instant the pass reached his hands, Knights cornerback Mason Biely drilled him, and the ball slipped away. “He got me,” Harris said.“It was a good hit.” Biely, also a junior, said,“It was pure joy knowing I helped my team. I knew they’d take a big shot at [Harris]. He’s a good player. He runs real hard and never gives up.” Expect both the Cardinals (3-1) and the Knights (2-2) to be contenders come November in the CIF Division 5 play-offs. “Both teams are super physical,” Bishop lineman Michael Agnoli said. “We’re resilient. We’ll bounce back.”

ix one former musician with a winemaking veteran, add a dash of entrepreneurship, and shake. Then serve up a glass of Brothers Spirits, the newest distillery to grace Buellton’s Industrial Way. That’s where the Lockwood brothers make liquor in the old-world way, one batch at a time. With Jeff’s background in winemaking at Bella Cavalli Farms and Jay’s in contracting (he’s also an accomplished musician), the two have created a space that perfectly blends industrial and elegant. A self-taught visionary with a penchant for tequila, Jay is the master distiller and a one-man assembly line, spending 12 hours a day in their space, doing it all from distilling to bottling to labeling. The brothers transformed a former garage into their tasting room, where visitors can enjoy leather seats, work by regional artists, and views of the BRO NO. 1: Jay Lockwood (pictured) and his brother, Jeff, are now distilling on Industrial Way. copper still. “We are bringing back quality and an old-world attitude,” said Jay. “This is our life, this is our passion, we do everywith a barley sweetness.

tales of the CoCktail tales

’ve been at the 14th Annual Tales of the Cocktail (TOTC) in New Orleans for less than three minutes and am already tasting Woody Creek Bourbon and looking through a gift bag based on the survivor’s kit Slim Pickens opens in Dr. Strangelove, complete with hand lotion, breath mints, and a condom whose tagline reads, “It’s the wood that makes it good.” This cocktail conference, which is put on by the New Orleans Culinary and Cultural Preservation Society and this year featured “more than 200 brand-new seminars, tastings, competitions,

networking opportunities, and other spirited events,” is headquartered in the Hotel Monteleone, famed for its slowly rotating Carousel Bar that’s been graced by such notable imbibers as Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams. That’s New Orleans and TOTC in a jigger: respect for history, eye to art, weakness for decadence, and hope that commerce can help us carry it off. This year’s panels included “BIG GIN Small Gin,” where even the small producers made nice to the guy from Tanqueray and everyone praised the martini; less brand-oriented events such as the one about Frank Meier, the decades-long

Tracy Morgan ‘pieces’ together his life

4•1•1

iT’s cyndi lauper’s TiMe Time after time, Cyndi Lauper continues to be a vital figure in the pop-culture sphere. Whether it was the time she broke into the national conscience with her 1983 debut album, She’s So Unusual Unusual, with its revolutionary single “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” or more recently, such as when she took a country Detour with old-timey covers on her newest record, Lauper remains an emblematic icon, standing for individuality, self-assuredness, strength, inclusivity, and off-beat good humor. Lauper will come through town on Wednesday, September 28, playing the Arlington Theatre, and this time she will be going back to her roots. Though nominally a departure, her new set of songs actually finds Lauper returning to her earliest musical influences. “I felt like I was going backwards to my

rockabilly days,” she said. “The early country artists have always affected me; I wore a Patsy Cline button, right next to a button that said ‘Nearly Famous’ or ‘Almost Famous,’ way before the movie.” She recalls watching the “beautiful ladies in sparkly dresses” on TV as a young girl —“Big clothes, big hair, big everything always attracted me” — and blues, rock, and country were big influences in her musical education. Though things have changed in many ways since the ’80s, Lauper is still waiting for the day when women experience true equality. “The time hasn’t happened yet. We still don’t get equal pay for equal work, and it’s still very hard for women to get proper childcare for kids,” she said. She sees herself as continuing the many-generation fight by women for greater equality. “All of us as women have been working hard. I stand on the shoulders of the women that came before me and made and paved the way — we stand on the shoulders of the first suffragettes, and all they frickin’ wanted was a vote.” But Lauper won’t stop fighting, whether for women or the LGBTQ community, even if time after time equality seems once again threatened or thwarted. “I believe in equality for everybody, not just for some,” she said. “You’re born the way you’re born. You are the way you are.” Cyndi Lauper plays Wednesday, September 28, 8 p.m., at the Arlington Theatre (1317 State St.). For tickets, call 963-4408 or see thearlingtontheatre .com. —Richie DeMaria

regard to the material for Picking Up the Pieces. “Some of my best creating is done live onstage. Things happen from millisecond to millisecond,” he said. His act will cut to the bone in a way that other comedians can’t, he said, “because [everything] was almost taken from me. It’s deeper than that.

racy Morgan is back. The garrulous East Coaster, who played the exasperating Tracy Jordan on the Tina Fey–led sitcom 30 Rock and was a longtime Saturday Night Live cast member (1996-2003), has spent much of 2015 recovering from a 2014 six-vehicle accident caused by a Walmart truck driver that claimed a friend’s life and nearly his own. Morgan received an undisclosed, substantial settlement from Walmart but of course that pales in comparison to the emotional and physical suffering the 47-year-old comic actor has had to endure. Santa Barbara’s 85-year-old Arlington Theatre will be the third stop on the comedian’s Picking Up the Pieces tour — his first creative endeavor since the accident sidelined him from the entertainment business. “I’m really grateful to be doing this tour!” said the excitable Morgan. “I feel funnier than ever. It feels good to be back onstage. I didn’t know whether I was going to have a tour; it was bigger than show business.” On a recent Howard Stern interview, the shock jock satellite radio host inquired about his recovery: everything from his spiritual experiences exiting a coma to using his penis again. Morgan laughed, Morgan cried, Morgan shared many explicit sexual details … but don’t suggest that Stern may have been exploitive.“Howard [is] a friend,” Morgan said. “He wasn’t pushing my buttons. This was a different interview. I was ready to talk about it with Howard because he’s my friend!”

KaraoKe goes live wiThh

The selecTions

For one shining moment, karaoke crowns us with the spotlight — we feel like the stars we are deep down, permitted to let free our innermost confident rocker with as much gusto as we can muster. On Wednesday, September 28, S.B.’s very own live karaoke band The Selections will stand behind you in your shining moment at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, fueling your favorite song of choice with the added oomph of live instrumentation to make your rock-star rendition all the brighter and you all the cooler. With their huge repertoire of songs (more than 350, and counting), it’s likely they’ll have your go-to pop song on roster. The immensely talented band — John Whoolilurie (keys, guitar, saxophone, backup vocals), Austin Beede (drums), Rob Moreno (bass), Joey Fior (guitar) — first started playing weddings before moving onto regular shows at Seven Bar, Dargan’s, and Blind Tiger. With the help of iPads to display the chords, the band can nail everything from Toto’s “Africa” (their most popular song) to the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” and everything in between. “I am continuously impressed by the way the band handles, remembers, and pulls off all these tunes,” Whoolilurie said. No sweat if a tricky Bon Jovi guitar solo flies their way after a many-month “Wanted Dead or Alive” dry spell, and no worries if you happen to stumble over that Left Eye Lisa’s verse in TLC’s “Waterfall”; the band’s got you on this. Having a live band makes a huge difference for karaoke singers, Whoolilurie said. For karaoke lovers, there’s nothing more exciting. Participants “get to feel the power of the drums and bass rocking behind them, and the thrill of a standing next to a burning virtuosic guitar soloist. They get to feel the support of the back-up vocalists that are there to harmonize their lead or get them back on track,” he said. “We are here to back you up.” The Selections play SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Wednesday, September 28, 8:30 p.m. Ages 21+.

DANCEworks rEturNs

or the past month, there’s been something strange going on in the Lobero Theatre. Visitors to the venue during the day, including members of the DANCEworks Friday Club, have encountered a very realistic campsite covering most of the stage, including tents, sleeping bags, and a Christmas tree. The most authentic element of the set, however, is also in a way the least natural because the luscious six-inch layer of dark brown earth the whole thing sits on is not dirt but recycled rubber mulch. Three tons of it. The NuPlay product was created to keep kids safe on playgrounds; it has one of the highest shock-absorption ratings of any playground covering. Put down six inches of this stuff, and your hyperactive 4-year-old can safely dive from a height of 16 feet — it’s that resilient. But this is no playground, or if it is, it’s a playground of a very different sort. Shannon Gillen, the choreographer and founder of Vim Vigor Dance Company, was chosen by Dianne Vapnek for this year’s DANCEworks residency at the Lobero, and she was the one who ordered up this exceptionally fallfriendly and bouncy surface because it’s a great match for the setting of her piece Future/ Perfect, which takes place at a campsite in the woods, and because she knew that her dancers would have a ball using it as a trampoline, a safety net, and an all-around aid in defying gravity. The mulch “amplifies the story,” according to Gillen, and although she means that its resemblance to soil makes the wilderness setting look more genuine, she’s also alluding to the outsized daring its forgiving physical properties encourage in the performers. The five young dancers in the company — Laja Field, Martin Durov, Jason Cianciulli, Emma Whiteley, and Rebecca Diab — are leaping, rolling, diving, and sliding around in this stuff in ways that they could not safely do on any other surface. Vapnek created DANCEworks in 2009 to see what happens when innovative choreographers are given a shot at the one thing they almost never get: a chance to work in rehearsal on the same stage on which they

will perform. The vast majority of dances are dose of Gillen’s own wonderfully idiosyncreated and rehearsed in studios that bear cratic personal vision. Her considerable talent little or no relation to the spaces in which as a dancer in this remarkable idiom is the they will be shown to an audience. Dancers tool through which she communicates what must imagine what it will be like when they she wants to see from the cast. In rehearsal she finally get onstage, and choreographers must moves as much, and as wildly, as anyone, even count steps and measure movements against though she’s not in the piece. It’s this process of demonstration, experian image in their heads mentation, and repetition of where that stage actually begins and ends. Ask as much as anything else any experienced dancer, that defines the intensely personal nature of her and they will tell you the same thing: “It’s never artistic expression. And, of the way you pictured it,” course, don’t forget about and “There are always all that bouncy shredded last-minute adjustrubber.

sometimes they even pair off and disappear inside the tent for a while. At one of the Friday open rehearsals I attended, the atmosphere during these acted sequences reminded me of a horror movie, and there are some deep resonances with that genre. These characindependent.com

ters will all eventually confront a numinous presence that will change them irrevocably, and when they do, they are going to show that transformation through the ecstatic movement of their bodies. There are touches of hip-hop in the athletic floor work of the Vim Vigor dancers, and there’s plenty of the precision required to safely catch and release the hurtling body of a high-flying partner — the kind of heart-stopping grace that you only really see in trained, committed career dancers. Beyond that, the work is harder to categorize, except perhaps to say that there’s an emotional release in the gestures and poses that’s much closer to great acting than it is to the steps of a conventional chorus line. When Gillen teaches these movements by doing them herself, she engages the dancers in exchanges that may involve as many as three repetitions of a particular segment in the space of one minute, and in extended oneon-one sessions that may go on for an hour or longer.“We stack and accumulate intimacies,” said Gillen to the audience assembled for the open rehearsal series known as the DANCEworks Friday Club. “The overarching theme of Future/Perfect is how we engage walkabouts,” she continued, adding that the work explores “how we sometimes perceive signs from the universe” that have the power to tell us that we must change our lives. When asked how she felt about the progress that was being made, Gillen paused and then admitted that creation is always at least somewhat “painful and stressful” because she is “never satisfied,” but that she and her team are determined to “push it.”“We are constantly asking ourselves how can we elevate and open what we do to the audience so that they fall into this world the way that we have fallen into it.” And, with such a heavenly soft landing surface waiting for us, we can all look forward to taking this plunge.

Megan Mullally’s suMMer oF 69

ans of small-screen hits Will & Grace (1998-2006) and Parks and Recreation (2009-2015) spent myriad seasons delighting in the antics of Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, the talents who brought Karen Walker and Ron Swanson to life. Although their respective sitcoms have wrapped, the pair are still making audiences laugh, touring the country with their variety show Summer of 69: No Apostrophe. Married for more than a decade, both Mullally and Offerman are top-notch funny folk; together they are a combustible comic duo for the ages (Ron and Tammy 2, anyone?), and their stage show reflects their witty, wry take on their relationship. Expect campy songs, ribald humor, and lots of laughs as the pair give us a peek behind the curtain of their union. I recently spoke with the easygoing, personable Mullally about their tour, music, the media, and what’s next for the duo.

eTC takes on maCbeTh TheaTer Company brIngs shakespeare’s Tragedy To lIfe By Charles Donelan

david bazemore

n a 2007 essay called “Shakespeare and the Uses of Power,” the distinguished literary critic and Harvard professor Stephen Greenblatt tells a funny story about meeting Bill Clinton at the White House. It takes place in 1998, just a few weeks before the Monica Lewinsky scandal would wreak havoc on the remainder of Clinton’s second term. Greenblatt is among the guests at a black-tie dinner honoring then-poet laureate Robert Pinsky. In his remarks, President Clinton recalls being forced to memorize passages from Macbeth for a high school English class. When Greenblatt reaches Clinton in the line to shake hands after the speech, he hits the president with what he thinks is a zinger. “Mr. President,” says the Harvard professor, sticking out his hand, “don’t you think that Macbeth is a great play about an immensely ambitious man who feels compelled to do things that he knows are politically and morally disastrous?” Clinton looks Greenblatt in the eye and replies without hesitation, “I think Macbeth is a great play about someone whose immense ambition has an ethically inadequate object.” With Hillary Clinton, who has a history of being compared to Lady Macbeth that goes back decades, knocking at the White House gate this fall, it would seem that Macbeth — including her husband’s clever take on it — is very much back in season. Add the fact that she is hotly pursued BOLD AMBITION: Tony Award–nominated actor Kathryn in her quest for power by Donald Trump, another Meisle portrays the conniving noblewoman Lady Macbeth, immensely ambitious man, and you’ve got all the who becomes Queen of Scotland. makings of a powerful Shakespearean drama.

NArcos rcos ’ seductivesecoNd seAsoN Netflix Show Combines Artful Action and Blood-Lined Suspense

t the end of Narcos’ first season, the epic antihero and Medellín Cartel mastermind Pablo Escobar had just escaped his posh prison. Come time for Season 2 of Netflix’s somewhat perversely seductive series, and Escobar (played by Brazilian actor Wagner Moura) is ready for more law dodging, high-stakes coke dealing, gazing at clouds with his children, commanding the slaughter of 30 policemen, and embarking on other adventures on his slow path to an untimely end. Whatever most people know about the man who made Colombia the world’s cocaine capitol and who became one of the most mythic and richest criminals, the expansive canvas of a close-up, serialized account fills in a lot of information gaps. Maybe more than we want, at times. Hollywood writer Chris Brancato is responsible for the project, although the second season has passed to other writers. Narrative-wise, it follows the story both inside and around the enterprises of Escobar and his allies and foes. We are led inside the story from the perspective of our dogged but usually frustrated DEA heroes Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook) and Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal) while also being privy to the inner workings of the drug traders. Brazilian director José Padilha, who was behind the award-winning film Elite Squad and the RoboCop redux, is well-suited to the job. He brings artful action and blood-lined suspense to the series — which is set and filmed in Colombia—establishing the tone and sweep in the first two episodes, which he directed, laying out the historical backstory of what became Escobar’s brutal reign and the choke hold of the Medellín Cartel. What began as a business smuggling TV sets before “pivoting” to cocaine in the late ’70s grew to epic proportions in the 1980s, to the point where Escobar had more money and power than he knew what to do with. Moura, who starred on the other side of the law in Elite Squad (about Brazil’s SWAT-like contingent), brings a new level of suave menace to his role as Escobar. He coolly dispenses his retaliatory justice but is also a family man with a gentle manner at home, who proudly tells an interviewer that, despite the mayhem

BLOOD MONEY: Wagner Moura returns as Pablo Escobar in Season 2 of the netflix series Narcos.

around him, he “sings in the shower.” But he doesn’t mess around when it comes time for doing business, which can result in severe consequences. Toward the end of Season 2’s second episode, after a raid by the law that nearly ends the massive manhunt for Escobar, his revenge impulse is piqued (as we hear in DEA agent Murphy’s voice-over narration, “Close doesn’t count, and Pablo is never more dangerous than when you almost have him”). In a montage sequence with nods to The Godfather Godfather, Don Pablo dances romantically with his wife while his minions perforate the bodies of 30 policemen with machine-gun fire, the rat-a-tat in stark contrast to the sway of the music. Cut to end credits. The story of Pablo Escobar, a supremely, efficiently evil man with the charisma to become a folk hero and even (briefly) win a seat in the Colombian congress, seems too strange to be true, and the sure appeal of Narcos illustrates our capacity of curiosity and even empathy with this cool agent of transgression. We want to hate him but can’t quite manage. The Netflix series Narcos’ second season premiered September 2; the show is confirmed for a third and fourth season, as well. —Josef Woodard

Wildlife Educator and Advocate after her second miscarriage, a live baby washes up on the shore in a small boat, and the couple decides to keep her. Then the director loses his nerve and ends it as a twitchy forgiveness lesson. It’s a tear-jerking but frustrating film; a better director might have made this great. (DJP) Plaza de Oro

O No manches Frida

The Hollars music by great and haunting Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki), by director Marcin Wrona, who hung himself shortly after the film’s release. (JW)

Sun.-Wed., Sept. 25-28, Riviera

nOW SHOWing 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)

Metro 4

Blair Witch (89 mins., R) Adam Wingard seemed the best possipossi ble director to succeed in the impossible task of updating The Blair Witch Project Project, inarguably the most influential horror movie since Night of the Living Dead. He knows and respects horror traditions, is willing to contemporize, and is a master of the bizarre slow build. But Wingard’s nice twists (a campsite where the sun never rises, a drone), don’t deliver even mild justification for rebooting the “found footage” minimalist classic that was great because it knew what not to show. Less was always enough. (DJP)

Camino Real/Metro 4

Bridget Jones’s Baby (122 mins., R) It’s been 12 years since her last quandary, and now Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is stuck in another pickle. This time, she’s having a baby, and she’s not sure who the daddy is — now ex-flame Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) or new beau, Jack (Patrick Dempsey). Fairview/Fiesta 5 Complete Unknown (94 mins., R) In this twisty mystery, Rachel Weisz plays Alice, a woman who continues to reinvent her identity, and Michael Shannon is Tom, the man who is determined to uncover who she really is.

(100 mins., PG-13)

This Mexican studio’s remake of a German film is a nicely askew take on The Asphalt Jungle and To Sir with Love. There are lots of funny slapstick skits, some politically incorrect, that veer into a plot, eventually, and a lot of weird lessons learned. (DJP) Fiesta 5

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

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

O Hell or High Water

(102 mins., R)

This grim-toned tale of two bankrobbing 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 soundtrack and starkly southwestern cinematography, the film has enough gravitas and emotional ambiguity to give it an air of greatness. (RD)

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

The Hollars (88 mins., PG-13) John Krasinski directs and stars in this comedy about a man who returns to his hometown when he finds out his mother needs brain surgery. Dysfunctional family mayhem ensues. It also stars Anna Kendrick, Richard Jenkins, and Sharlto Copley. Plaza de Oro 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.

Fiesta 5 (2D)

The Light Between Oceans (133 mins., PG-13)

Alicia Vikander plays a lighthouse keeper’s wife on an island called Janus in between two oceans. Immediately

O Snowden (134 mins., R) Oliver Stone’s Snowden, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a convincing imitation of the NSA whistleblower himself, is the kind of venerable and moderately thought-provoking political piece one would expect from the director of JFK. JFK Though some scenes verge on Hollywood cliché, and the film’s critical incisors are not especially sharp, the film nonetheless achieves an honorable characterization of the man and an indictment of our government.

O Sully

(96 mins., PG-13)

In Sully, Tom Hanks plays Chesley Sullenberger, the beloved pilot who in 2009 crash-landed a U.S. Airways flight in the Hudson River, saving all aboard. Much of the humbly tempered movie concentrates on Sully’s behind-the-scenes wrangling with PTSD and insurance suits who grill him on his competency. In the end, heroism triumphs in a gently inspiring if crowd-pleasingly dull way, and Sully is a welcome reminder of unambiguous human goodness. (RD)

Media Sponsors: The fun starts early! Bring your kids an hour before the event for balloons, face painting and crafts.

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

Family Fun series sponsors: War Dogs (114 mins., R) 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.

Don’t Breathe (88 mins., R) Thieving young rapscallions get more than they bargained for when the owner of the home they invade turns out to be a man with a sixth sense for murder. Though well-made and well-acted, it’s essentially a long chase scene. (RD)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of septembeR 22 ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Even if you are a wild-eyed adventure-seeker with extremist views and melodramatic yearnings, you’ll benefit from taking a moderate approach to life in the coming weeks. In fact, you’re most likely to attract the help and inspiration you need if you adopt the strategy used by Goldilocks in the fairy tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”: neither excessive nor underdone, neither extravagant nor restrained, neither bawdy, loud, and in-your-face nor demure, quiet, and passive — but rather just right.

(June 21-July 22): The next four weeks will be a favorable time to come all the way home. Here are nine prompts for how to accomplish that: (1) Nourish your roots. (2) Strengthen your foundations. (3) Meditate about where you truly belong. (4) Upgrade the way you attend to your self-care. (5) Honor your living traditions. (6) Make a pilgrimage to the land where your ancestors lived. (7) Deepen your intimacy with the earth. (8) Be ingenious about expressing your tenderness. (9) Reinvigorate your commitment to the influences that nurture and support you.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here’s my translation of a passage from the ancient Gospel of Thomas, a gnostic text about the teachings of Jesus: “If you do not awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will damage you. If you do awaken and develop the potential talents that lie within you, they will heal you.” Whether you actually awaken and develop those talents or not depends on two things: your ability to identify them clearly and your determination to bring them to life with the graceful force of your willpower. I call this to your attention, Libra, because the coming months will be a highly favorable time to expedite the ripening of your talents. And it all starts NOW.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I propose that you and I make a deal. Here’s how it would work: For the next three weeks, I will say three prayers for you every day. I will ask God, Fate, and Life to send you more of the recognition and appreciation you deserve. I will coax and convince them to give you rich experiences of being seen for who you really are. Now here’s what I ask of you in return: You will rigorously resolve to act on your core beliefs, express your noblest desires, and say only what you truly mean. You will be alert for those times when you start to stray from the path with heart, and you will immediately get yourself back on that path. You will be yourself three times stronger and clearer than you have ever been before.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Some of my readers love me but also hate me. They are drawn to my horoscopes in the hope that I will help relieve them of their habitual pain, but then get mad at me when I do just that. In retrospect, they feel lost without the familiar companionship of their habitual pain. It had been a centerpiece of their identity, a source of stability, and when it’s gone, they don’t know who they are anymore. Are you like these people, Taurus? If so, you might want to avoid my horoscopes for a while. I will be engaged in a subtle crusade to dissolve your angst and agitation. And it all starts now with this magic spell: Your wound is a blessing. Discover why.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In my dream last night, bad guys wearing white hats constrained you in a canvas straitjacket and then further wrapped you up with heavy steel chain secured by three padlocks. They drove you to a weedy field behind an abandoned warehouse and left you there in the pitch dark. But you were indomitable. By dawn, you had miraculously wriggled your way out of your confinement. Then you walked back home, free and undaunted. Here’s my interpretation of the dream: You now have special skills as an escape artist. No cage can hold you. No riddle can stump you. No tangle can confuse you. (P.S.: For best results, trust yourself even more than you usually do.) Homework: Name the one thing you could change about yourself that would improve your love life. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What tools will work best for the tasks you’ll be invited to perform in the coming weeks? A sledgehammer or tweezers? Pruning shears or a sewing machine? A monkey wrench or a screwdriver? Here’s my guess: Always have your entire toolbox on hand. You may need to change tools in mid-task — or even use several tools for the same task. I can envision at least one situation that would benefit from you alternating between a sledgehammer and tweezers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m confident that I will never again need to moonlight as a janitor or dishwasher in order to pay my bills. My gig as a horoscope columnist provides me with enough money to eat well, so it’s no longer necessary to shoplift bread or scavenge for dented cans of beets in grocery store dumpsters. What accounts for my growing financial luck? I mean besides the fact that I have been steadily improving my skills as an oracle and writer? I suspect it may in part have to do with my determination to cultivate generosity. As I’ve become better at expressing compassion and bestowing blessings, money has flowed to me in greater abundance. Would this strategy work for you? The coming weeks and months will be a good time to experiment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can’t completely eliminate unhelpful influences and trivial saboteurs and debilitating distractions from your life. But you’re entering a phase of your astrological cycle when you have more power than usual to diminish their effects. To get started in this gritty yet lofty endeavor, try this: Decrease your connection with anything that tends to demean your spirit, shrink your lust for life, limit your freedom, ignore your soul, compromise your integrity, dishonor your reverence, inhibit your selfexpressiveness, or alienate you from what you love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Work too much and push yourself too hard, Sagittarius. Eat corn chips for breakfast, ice cream for lunch, and French fries for dinner — every day, if possible. And please, please, please get no more than four hours’ sleep per night. If you have any extra time, do arduous favors for friends and intensify your workout routine. JUST KIDDING! Don’t you dare heed any of that ridiculous advice. In fact, I suggest you do just the opposite. Dream up brilliant excuses not to work too much or push too hard. Treat yourself to the finest meals and best sleep ever. Take your mastery of the art of relaxation to new heights. Right now, the most effective way to serve your long-term dreams is by having as much fun, joy, and release as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you loosen yourself up by drinking an alcoholic beverage, don’t drive a forklift or ride a unicycle. If you have a hunch that your luck at gambling is peaking, don’t buy lottery tickets or play the slot machines. If you’re drawn to explore the frontiers of intimacy, be armed with the ancient Latin maxim, Primum non nocere, or “First, do no harm.” And if you really do believe it would be fun to play with fire, bring a fire extinguisher with you. In presenting this cautionary advice, I’m not saying that you should never push the limits or bend the rules. But I want to be sure that as you dare to experiment, you remain savvy and ethical and responsible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I invite you to explore the healing power of sex. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to do so. You are also likely to generate good fortune for yourself if you try to fix any aspect of your erotic life that feels wounded or awkward. For best results, suspend all your theories about the way physical intimacy should work in your life. Adopting a beginner’s mind could lead you to subtly spectacular breakthroughs. (P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner to take full advantage of this big opening.)
