Been there, don that Naomi Zaldate is a Don of a different color. It’s been four years, but our intern flew under the blue, white, and gray of El Rancho High School Dons — though her favorite color is green — before trading them in for UCSB’s gold and blue and a major in English with a minor in professional writing. She’s become proficient at pitching stories while writing for HerCampus.com, so much so that she charmed the Indy editors instantly when she sent over her piece on hiking by bus. In between classes and writing assignments, Naomi is a lead teacher for language arts at Isla Vista Elementary’s after-school program, probably passing on her pitch technique to the 6th graders. One of her next assignments is to advise readers on how to squeeze into a tiny home, which all gets discussed — large and small — in our upcoming Home & Garden issue.

news Briefs LAW & DISORDER Jesus Ayala Flores, 36, was charged with residential burglary and attempted murder after he violently fought with arresting officers on the rooftop of a home in the 100 block of East Ortega Street on 5/19. During the struggle, Flores allegedly kicked one of the officers in the chest, “forcing the officer dangerously close to the edge,” according to a police statement, and tried to strangle another officer. He was eventually subdued and placed in a WRAP device that bound his legs, wrists, and torso. Both he and officers received minor to moderate injuries.

Sheriff’s investigators discovered 90 gallons of fuel in an abandoned 30-foot panga boat along with five bales of marijuana in nearby bushes about a mile north of Refugio State Beach on 5/19. A nearby resident had observed the suspicious boat and reported it to the Sheriff’s Office.

Although no suspects were identified on scene, Homeland Security officials continue to investigate the vessel for evidence.

Fire departments throughout Santa Barbara County declared high fire season on 5/22. In the previous few days alone, fire agencies fought several fires, the largest a 190-acre blaze near New Cuyama, which was started by a bird arcing a power line. Earlier, a hay barn caught fire at Hearts Therapeutic on 5/18; a six-acre fire near Rancho Oso in Paradise Canyon on 5/19 was extinguished the same day. Two fires on 5/20 started above the City of Santa Barbara, one behind a home near Parma Park caused by landscaping operations and another in Mission Canyon when a hiker’s car fire was extinguished by residents, as well as a two-acre fire off Cat Canyon Road near Santa Maria.

THERE’S NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN: A great lover of theater, Towbes got sent off with a rousing dance-along to the Village People’s disco classic “YMCA.” the Community Dividends program started

by Montecito Bank & Trust in 2003, in which Towbes and the bank made 100 donations of $10,000 each to different organizations right around Thanksgiving. “Some donors make massive gifts to one or two major institutions; others spread it out to lots of different groups,” commented Geoff Green, now with the City College Foundation, on whose board Towbes served. “What was so uniquely Towbsian is that he did both; he made massive gifts over the years both ways.”

Tuesday’s event reinforced much of what people already knew about the man; he grew up the descendent of Jewish immigrants from Russia in Washington, D.C., attended Princeton, went to MIT for one year, and joined the U.S. Navy as a civil engineer in 1952. Accomplished and dashing, he was assigned to Pt. Mugu, where he met his first wife, Gail Aronson, then an aspiring dancer.

In 1956, he partnered with Eli Luria—whose parents were friends with Towbes’s —and began building homes. Luria would develop much of the housing around City College, and Towbes would move to Santa Maria, where he bought lots for $7,000 on which he built homes that he sold for $30,000. In 1960 Towbes went out on his own and began building shopping malls, tract homes, and rental housing, many in Goleta. His eye was on the market.

Even as Goleta became engulfed by the slow-growth, no-growth environmentalism of the 1970s, Towbes managed to stay above the fray and below the line of fire. His reputation was that of a tough, smart businessperson—formidable but fair. Towbes, whose father was a lawyer and a developer, was not reluctant to push. But he kept his word, unlike some. Builders, he would say, were not responsible for all the babies being born. But unlike many developers, Towbes did not waste his breath excoriating the environmental review process.

Part of the Michael Towbes on display at the Granada Theatre was the epically energetic work fiend of Towbes lore, the compulsive editor famous for the ubiquitous red pen he always wielded. There was a frisky, playful side, too —the Mike Towbes who showed up at a black-tie fundraiser for the Pacific Pride Foundation with his second wife, Anne Towbes, wearing a studded dog collar and leash. He went to Burning Man. He took his nephew to the Indianapolis 500 with Andy Granatelli, donned leather racing gear, and sped around the banked track at 180 miles an hour.

His first wife, Gail, after 42 years of marriage, died from multiple sclerosis in 1996.

Not long after, he struck up a romance with Anne Smith, whose husband — then the owner of KEYT and Santa Barbara Magazine — had recently died of cancer.

She called him her “silver fox”; he called her his “child bride.” As a couple, they traveled the planet. In photos, they appear strikingly content. Towbes’s wife said goodbye by belting out, in convincing fashion, “What Matters Most.”

It was later in life that Towbes emerged as a major patron of the arts. He donated $500,000 to the Lobero Theatre in honor of Gail. He donated a shopping center in Ventura to keep KDB 93.7 FM (now KUSC) on the air as the last exclusively classical musical station in the country. Towbes was a diehard theater fan, taking as many shows as he could in New York City. For each one, he would render a carefully thought-out grade. He promoted affordable housing. And when Pearson, while still head of the Housing Authority, sounded the alarm over the

Peter Jordano loss of housing caused by vacation-rentals, he enlisted Towbes to the cause. When the Santa Barbara City Council was deliberating over a proposed vacation-rental ordinance, Towbes weighed in with a letter urging a ban. It made a difference.

Towbes’s real genius, however, was not his wealth nor his drive. It was, according to former Santa Barbara mayor Hal Conklin and many others, an impulse to reach out and connect. “He was the consummate networker in the most positive way possible,” said Conklin. He was persistent bordering on relentless — but quietly so. He asked questions; he listened to the answers. He heard. He knew everybody. He knew what their passions were. He made it his mission to help when possible. He made sure they knew his passions, too. Through a lifetime of energetic reciprocity, Towbes got a lot done. Sitting in the nosebleed seats of the Granada at Tuesday’s event was Vanessa Bechtel, former director of the City College Foundation. Bechtel met Towbes when she was 22, just out of college, at a Chamber of Commerce function. She sat across the table from Towbes; he made her a little nervous. He was, after all, Mike Towbes. As she cut into a grape, it squirted across the table and landed in his lap. He returned it and put Bechtel at her ease. Later, he made a point to introduce her to people in the room.

“When Mike Towbes introduces you,” she said,“you’re somebody.” n

On 5/23, the three-year anniversary of the Isla Vista killings, UCSB suffered a bomb scare as Campbell Hall was evacuated after a student reportedly confronted a lecturing professor in an aggressive manner and then stormed out of the auditorium, leaving his large, black backpack behind. The incident was reported by The Tab, an online news source, which stated that before the student left, he shouted to the professor, “Remember when you called me a socialist?”

UCSB officials continue to investigate.

cOuNTy “Your voices made a difference,” County Supervisor Janet Wolf wrote to her Goleta-area constituents in an email blast about library funding in South County. The City of Santa Barbara, which administers all seven branches, decided not to reduce Goleta’s share after hundreds of Goletans packed City Hall on Monday. Changes could have cost the Goleta branch as much as $200,000. For now, funding allocations will remain status quo.

Next year, a consultant will review the South County maps. In a separate matter, the issue of library service fees will return to the Santa Barbara City Council on June 12.

EDucATION Pending the formal approval of a comprehensive employment contract, Dr. Donna Lewis is on track to become the new superintendent of Goleta Unified School District. Leaving her post as Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources of San Mateo-Foster City School District, Lewis arrives at Goleta Unified with an educational background that includes teaching, student services, special education, human resources, finance, and facilities. She has served in large urban school districts, Title I schools, affluent districts, and in large student bodies of English learners. She replaces William Banning, who retires next month.

he Trump administration’s budget con-

tinues to go for deficit reduction by increasing defense spending and reducing all other discretionary federal programs except for Homeland and Veterans. In Santa Barbara County, the losses to education, the arts, and the poor would affect thousands.

The proposal, however, has yet to wind through Congress.

Poverty program cuts would have an immediate effect in Santa Barbara County, said Fran Forman, head of the Community Action Commission (CAC). The elimination of community block grants means $500,000 lost toward 2-1-1 information services, and senior and youth services. Seniors living in poverty or who are disabled will have to choose between eating and buying medications, she said, with the loss of CAC’s Senior Lunch program. Head Start programs, which serve 1,300 children and their families in the county, are cut by 17 percent.“Being poor is tough,” Forman said.

“It will get tougher.”

Social Security and Medicare, which consume the lion’s share of the federal budget, remain untouched, but disability benefits drop by $72 billion nationally over 10 years. Medicaid, which provides care for the poorest Americans, is hit by a total $1.4 trillion in cuts over the decade. Anti-poverty programs lose $274 billion during the next 10 years. As expected, climate-related satellite programs are cut, as is the National

Science Foundation, which accounts for 24 percent of research at American colleges and universities.

How the deficit gets reduced when Trump says he’ll be lowering taxes on individuals and businesses, too, remains a mystery that the budget attempts to bridge with optimism and what economists are calling a double-accounting error. Trump’s budget projects that economic growth of more than 3 percent will in itself raise $2 trillion over the decade even though average growth has been 1.3 percent in recent years. The widely reported error lies in using the $2 trillion economic gain twice — once to make up for tax decreases and a second time to count toward balancing the budget. White House budget director Mick Mulvaney told reporters on Tuesday that they chose the number to make Trump’s yet-to-be-announced tax proposal deficit neutral, rather than an increase or decrease.

The “cruel” budget — a label affixed by Robert Reich, President Bill Clinton’s labor secretary — has already encountered stiff resistance from Democrats, whose votes Republicans might need to pass any budget bill, given some of their members’ reluctance to take away food stamps or agree to $38 billion in Farm Bill cuts. Forman plans to resist: “We ask the community to join us in advocating for children, teens, families, and seniors living in poverty in Santa Barbara County,” she said. —Jean Yamamura

By law, City Hall is required to sell off all land once owned by the Redevelopment Agency, and bids must be submitted in the next two weeks. Given that the property is hemmed in by industrial uses, it’s unclear how much interest the parcel will elicit. If the city’s Water Resources Division succeeds in buying the property, the $5 million purchase will cause a bump in the water rates paid by water customers.

over and the city’s new $70 million desalination plant poised to start, the Santa Barbara City Council just authorized water czar Joshua Haggmark to spend up to $5 million to buy 2.4 acres of land by César Chávez and Quarantina streets for what may one day be the site of a toilet-to-tap water recycling plant. The land in question — owned by the city’s successor to the Redevelopment Agency that was dissolved five years ago by the State Legislature — abuts the railroad tracks and is located across Calle César Chávez from the waste-water treatment plant. As such, the site might prove ideal if and when City Hall were to pursue waste-water recycling as a future water supply.

To date, the statewide regulatory thresholds for that technology have not been proposed, let alone adopted, and water quality issues remain a subject of public controversy.

Champions of water recycling contend the technology requires less energy than desalination and is less harmful to the marine environment and that the water is cheaper to produce. But that site is also coveted by many in the area commercial fishing industry, who showed up last week to explain the land could provide much-needed storage

Cold Spring Canyon Bridge

Cold Spring Barrier Five-Year Checkup

I

t was five years ago this March that construction was completed on the Cold Spring suicide barrier. In that time, three people have leapt from the bridge; during the previous five, before the barrier was in place, 14 people committed suicide there.

The project generated considerable controversy. Shortly after the barrier was proposed in 2007, a small but vocal group of critics headed by retired UCSB professor Marc McGinnes complained it would deface the historic bridge and block views of the Santa Ynez Valley below. They staged public demonstrations and launched legal challenges that succeeded in delaying construction. During the delay, a 58-yearold man jumped to his death. Ultimately, Caltrans prevailed and erected nine-foot, seven-inch-tall fencing along both sides of the span.

Dr. Lisa Firestone, director of research and education at the Glendon Association, called the barrier “a big success” that nearly eliminated an accessible and lethal means of escape for those in temporary crisis.“It’s a moment-in-time phenomenon,” she said of

the impulsive decision to take one’s life. The barrier, she went on, “has made everybody safer,” describing an incident where a female Sheriff’s deputy was nearly dragged over the edge by a jumper.

Last month, construction began on a stainless-steel suicide-prevention net under the Golden Gate Bridge, Firestone said, also describing an ongoing push to install a barrier along the George Washington Bridge.

The efforts come at time when suicide rates are increasing throughout the country, including in Santa Barbara, where suicides are on an upward tick from a 15-year low in 2007. “That’s the reality we’re dealing with,” Firestone said.

Sheriff Bill Brown, whose department argued strongly in favor of the Cold Spring barrier, said it “provides a form of intervention in a would-be suicide that can prevent tragedy and buy time for desperate people to obtain help.” He said he was proud of the major role his agency played in bringing the proposal to fruition, singling out Commander Dominick Palera for his efforts.

Pot Fears Grow in Carpinteria

marijuana

Smell of Buds in Bloom and Quantity of Cash Worry Neighbors Carpinteria’s Boys & Girls Club, an unmistakably fresh stench of cannabis flowers can be whiffed from the greenhouse next door. At the high school across the street, teachers must show up early to air out their classrooms. One teacher said the odor is pungent three days a week. “It’s like someone is smoking in the classroom,” she said. “It’s very distracting.”

Cannabis crops have increasingly augmented Carpinteria greenhouses, which had become less profitable in recent years. Growers estimate 20-30 acres of weed plants are currently cultivated in greenhouses out of 280 acres total “under glass.”As more cannabis is grown, the smell of ripe buds has become more pungent. Created by the plant’s essential oils, known as terpenes, the odors are strongest when cannabis flowers are budding, which happens virtually all the time because planters stagger growth cycles.

In the first week of May, there were 12 odor complaints in Carpinteria logged with the county’s planning department. By contrast, from January to May, there were zero. A small group of women affiliated with the Carpinteria Valley Association (CVA) are likely the root of this recent spike.

Longtime community activists Anna Carrillo, Sally Eagle, Sandy Kuttler, and others are gearing up to push back against marijuana odors drifting throughout their neighborhoods.

By many accounts, they are a force to be reckoned with.“I have yet to see them lose a battle,” said longtime Carpinteria resident and nationally renowned journalist Annie Bardach.

“Well, maybe a battle but not the war.” Bardach, who has occasionally jumped into the fray with them, said their successes include preserving the Carpinteria Bluffs, preventing development at Rancho Monte Alegre, and taking down the old Carpinteria water board. (CVA president Mike Wondolowski has also sent letters to city and county government, urging officials to stringently regulate the industry.)

They say they are not totally anti-pot. In fact, two of them voted for Proposition 64, the state bill to legalize recreational marijuana, because they don’t believe low–level drug users should be thrown in jail. And they realize Santa Barbara County is poised to permit cannabis like wine grapes.

As the state and county prepare to implement laws regulating and taxing the cultivation (and perhaps production) of cannabis, Carpinteria appears to be growers’ new haven.

In this rustic beach town, vacant and sometimes dilapidated greenhouses are increasingly valuable real estate.

Whether they like it or not, everyone is talking about it. But many seasoned Realtors, attorneys, and growers declined to publicly discuss the burgeoning market, citing confusion and sensitivities. Even school officials in Carpinteria declined to comment about marijuana odor complaints well-known throughout the small town. Several growers in Carpinteria have retained public relations firm California

Strategies and Democratic campaign strategist Mollie Culver and Cory Black.

Fifteen years ago, the county placed restrictions on the development of greenhouses in the Carpinteria Valley. It’s an even bigger question how many contain pot plants. So far, 110 operators — who grow marijuana or intend to — have signed the county’s voluntary registry. Weed map websites, though, show hundreds of cannabis operators exist throughout Santa Barbara County.

Sitting around a kitchen table one recent late afternoon, the women spoke frankly about the piercing smell they first thought was actually new litters of skunks. Others describe the odor as a minty, sage-like smell rather than burning pot.

But no one refutes it exists. “It hangs in the air,” Eagle said.

They recently started posting to social media site Next Door and informed neighbors how to complain about odors through the county’s zoning website. A key obstacle is determining the exact address where smells originate as changing winds make them difficult to track down. Of the 12 complaints county officials received from May 3-11, just one letter was sent to the property owner. The other locations could not be pinpointed, according to the county CEO’s office.

Professionals in the cannabis industry, however, say that if odors are the biggest problem, it’s a good one to have. Odor control technologies such as carbon scrubber systems and air filters can be highly effective, they say, but large-scale installations can cost anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000.

Some growers hesitate to make such an investment until they are assured county officials will permit their operations next year after the ordinance is approved.

“It should be required,” said Graham Farrar of Elite Garden, which manufactures equipment to grow cannabis and represents some growers.“Conversely, you need to give that operator some comfort his business won’t be shut down in four months.”

Medical marijuana is currently the only legal cannabis grown in Carpinteria. Operating as a collective, growers can only have a certain number of plants for each patient with a marijuana card or a letter from a doctor. In other words, each plant is matched to a specific patient and tracked through a computer system.

Pot grown in Carp is shipped to Los Angeles for processing.

In January 2016, the county supervisors adopted a ban on all new medical marijuana cultivation. This created a fuzzy landscape because county officials don’t know “undEr GLaSS”: The amount of marijuana grown in Carpinteria greenhouses remains amorphous; grower estimates range from 20 to 30 acres out of roughly 280 acres total. who is growing and when they

started. Speculation abounds that many now growing medical marijuana were not doing so prior to 2016.

Another wrinkle, these “nonconforming” structures could be in a catch-22: Growers fear installing large air ventilators would alter their structure, meaning they would no longer be “nonconforming” and could be targeted by county inspectors and angry neighbors.

Prices of these structures have increased by as much as 60 percent, compared to five years ago, Realtors say. Some have recently changed hands without agents; prospective buyers just show up and make an offer to owners. Interested growers have come in from out of the area, looking to offer high prices for these existing structures.

Carpinteria’s sea of greenhouses make the area uniquely situated to capitalize on this market, which could translate to millions of dollars in tax revenues for strapped county coffers. (A consultant hired by the county is in the process of studying many issues.)

Cannabis professionals claimed negative publicity about wafting odors could deter capital investors interested in this area. And residents, they say, will just get pot grown throughout California.

For Carrillo and the others, it’s all about being a good neighbor. They are beginning to distribute petitions at book clubs and farmers’ markets. Specifically the group is seeking to expand the legal distance marijuana can be grown from schools and youth centers. They argue it should be 1,000 feet, not 600 feet as has been considered. If they get their way, many greenhouses along Foothill Road, near Carpinteria High School, the Boys & Girls Club, and Girls Inc., could be shut down. They also want to mandate odor-control devices.

The Carpinteria high school teacher, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, asked,“How much worse is it going to get?” Marijuana industry professionals say it won’t; in fact, it’ll get better because odor-abatement technology will be the norm.

Neighborhood critics are also worried about security, as these operations deal almost exclusively in cash. Growers are driving to appointments at the IRS offices with hundreds of thousands of dollar bills to pay their quarterly taxes.

No Santa Barbara banks currently take these clients, out of fear the feds will go after them and because they are labor intensive.

Although U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has “certainly raised the temperature a little,” as Farrar put it, most in the marijuana industry dismissed his harsh words. Plus, Congress, through a recent spending bill, is prohibiting the Drug Enforcement Administration from using federal dollars to target medical marijuana operations in states where pot is legal. As for California, Farrar said,“There is no indication of things slowing down.” n

El Perro Loco

BLOWBACK: All politics, we have long been

told, are local. In recent months, that equation has been reformulated as “All politics are loco.” With President Donald Trump’s proposal to cut every penny out of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, clearly both are true. In the context of Trump’s $4.1 trillion budget, the $3.3 billion saved by gutting CDBG doesn’t qualify as even dead skin flakes harvested from the president’s sock drawer. But the pain inflicted by its evisceration will be massively disproportionate to the dollars and cents involved. For those Santa Barbarans who believe State Street has been occupied by zombie hordes of brain-eating homeless, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The CDBG program is the federal straw from which local governments fashion the bricks that make up various housing and social service programs designed to help the poor. In the City of Santa Barbara, the numbers are not dramatic. This year, City Hall gets about $800,000 in CDBG dollars. Next year — when the cuts would go into effect, assuming Congress doesn’t get its head out of Trump’s gas oven — it will be more like $625,000. Of that, the lion’s share is slated for infrastructure projects, with about $150,000 going to programs for the poor in the form of small but essential grants. Those limited dollars are used to leverage matching funds many times over. Without them, a big hole will be ripped in the safety net — letting many of our

neighbors fall onto the cement of State Street sidewalks. Trump’s latest budget relies heavily on massively bad math and the rhetoric of restoring greatness again. In reality, it’s a multitrillion-dollar attack on programs helping the bottom half in order to subsidize a couple trillion in tax cuts for those who have already won the lottery.

With a mayoral and city council election just about 150 shopping days away, the issue of homelessness will burn front and center.

Downtown merchants —reeling from high rents, greedy and indifferent landlords, burdensome city regulations, a seismic shift to online shopping, a mass migration of flesh-nblood shoppers out of the retail core and into the so-called Fun(k) Zone, and the onslaught of empty storefronts caused by all of the above — are hollering for relief. Specifically, they want more city cops to do more stuff to roust the bums on State Street. They want the State Street benches — on which the aforementioned bums perch—removed. State Street, it turns out, is dramatically over-benched and under-copped compared to similar cities.

Hence we are over-bummed. And that’s why, we are told, downtown is significantly more empty-storefronted than the national average.

Last week, more than 100 tired and frustrated downtown business owners squeezed into the Louise Lowry Davis Center for an early-morning confab hosted by Mayor Helene Schneider in hopes of venting

some spleen on all of the above. But in fact,

those hopes were thwarted. The meeting was designed so various city officials could explain why the solution was not so simple and how much more was already being done to solve it than met the bare-nekked eye.

Being such an egregiously lapsed Catholic, I can’t remember if it’s the teaching of St. Francis or Pope Francis, but I’ve always gravitated toward another way when it comes to the shopping cart brigade and people hanging on by their cuticles. But it was the remarks of Daniel Burnham at last week’s gathering of merchants that really got my attention.

Burnham happens to be the former CEO of Raytheon. He also happens to live on the 12th floor of the Granada Building and has for many years. And instead of focusing on rousting the bums and the disoriented, he had some suggestions that actually seemed effective ways of curing the downtown blues.

In other cities, he noted, empty storefronts are not allowed to fester like empty maws.

Landlords are required to maintain shop window appearances. Big “For Lease” signs send subliminal messages of economic decrepitude; they must be taken down.

Landlords who let their properties remain vacant for months on end — insisting on rental rates at odds with all common sense — should be called out and penalized. Owners need to work with City Hall and merchants. Murals should be painted. All of this

can be done by order of the City Council.

State Street’s woes are serious, and they go beyond street benches. My sources tell me that the recent Downtown Organization’s study suggests that beyond the very real threat of Amazon.com über alles, State Street might be an unsustainably long retail corridor. That same study shows that State Street rents are too damn high.

It also indicates the State Street retail mix tilts excessively toward the tourist dollar.

I got no beef with selling trinkets to the cruise ships. But where are the goods and services that a person living here actually needs and wants? The bums don’t keep me from shopping downtown. The fact that there’s nothing being sold downtown that I either need or want is the reason I don’t shop there.

Do we want apartments where Macy’s used to be? That’s a big change. Should cars be banished from downtown State Street?

Should it become a big pedestrian promenade? What about pulling out the red carpet for some of the software companies incubating out at UCSB? Downtown workers making more than the minimum wage might be good for business. Hopefully, CDBG funds will survive the Trump budget. Maybe they won’t. Maybe street benches will be removed. Maybe they won’t.

Either way, there will still be bums. So let’s talk about something else. — Nick Welsh

earl Chase had a vision for Santa Barbara back in the late 1920s after the big earthquake — all buildings would not be higher than three stories so that everywhere you went you could see the mountains.

Signage was to be a certain size, no billboards, etc. What happened to the rule about the three-story limit? The AUD [Average Unit-size Density] ordinance experiment (eight years and 250 units) is now a freight train with no brakes, barreling down on us. We need another Pearl Chase! What’s happening here is not affordable — Ria Marsh, S.B. housing. It is developers’ greed.

R

ecently, I went with a small group from a retirement community to one of the marketplace restaurants. I wish we had known beforehand the restrictions for individual orders and checks. We ordered what we wanted, but the restaurant’s rigidly enforced rule for the bill required each check to cover at least four people, regardless of their relationship with each other.

This restriction caused enormous confusion and annoyance, not only to diners but also to waitstaff and our organizer. Finally, to avoid more delay, our organizer had to list each person’s order, check price, and pay for the entire group with a credit card. He later had to divide all the individual charges. (By the way, there were a number of empty tables during the entire visit.)

No member of this group will probably want to return to this restaurant either individually or as a group. Now, before we go to any restaurant, we’ll have to ask if they want groups like ours to dine with them, and if so, what special conditions they would invoke.

M

ayor Helene Schneider held a meeting last week with downtown merchants, commercial property owners, and brokers “to discuss the current framework and system for addressing homelessness and transient issues downtown.” Several city officials described programs, budgets, and accomplishments.

The city is fortunate to have such capable and dedicated professionals.

But, the real issue downtown is its deterioration caused largely by the retail revolution: Blame Amazon (and your own shopping behavior), not the cops.

The solutions are not rocket science, but they require leadership, coordination, and the attention of the community. Some are easy: Eliminate “for lease” signs; obligate empty storefront owners to maintain to high standards; fine land owners if they do not rent out properties over an extended time (the retail space to the left of the Apple Store has been empty for several years); remove the benches; establish business-friendly policies to attract the UCSB startups that now go to Goleta.

But the sustainable solution is hard: Increase home ownership along the State Street corridor. People living and working downtown will draw sustainable retail.

Elections are coming in November. We should expect those running to address these issues directly with concrete programs: no avoidance with friendly nonresponses.

Jesus Mendoza Ortega 06/05/35-05/03/17

Jesus Mendoza Ortega, known to his family and many friends as “Guero,” passed away peacefully at his home in Santa Barbara on May 3, 2017, surrounded by his family. Guero is survived by his wife of 56 years, Mary Ortega, daughters, Nancy, Terry and Kathy, grandchildren, Mia, Gabriel and Miranda, sons-in-law Brian and Roderick, and Chula, his adored Shih-poo.

Born in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, in 1935, the youngest of six children, Guero emigrated to the United States in 1950 at the age of fifteen.

After settling in Santa Barbara, he worked in a local lemon packing house, bussed tables at the Coral Casino, served in the US Army from 1959 to 1961, and eventually landed a job with the City of Santa Barbara as a heavy equipment operator, in the street and then water department, a position he held for 35 years, becoming in that time a magician on the backhoe. In those early years, when he wasn’t working or doing things with his kids, Guero played futbol at Dwight Murphy Field. After retirement, Guero became a full-time grandfather, a role he relished.

Hitching up their Jayco trailer and going camping was a favorite pastime for Guero and Mary, as were cruises to the Caribbean, Mexico and Alaska.

Guero’s life is a testament to the openness and acceptance of America at its best, to the confidence that enabled America to embrace people from many countries, asking only that they work hard, obey the law, and make a contribution. Guero did all of these things during his long life, raising a family, owning a home, paying his taxes, and giving more than he took.

He read National Geographic cover to cover and studied maps of the world. He was husband, father, grandfather, friend, lifelong Los Angeles 18

Raymond Munoz 03/04/37-05/16/17

It is with great sorrow that Raymond, "Uncle Ray," passed away peacefully with his family at his side at the young age of 80.

He was a true Santa Barbara Native, and 1st generation from immigrant parents who came to the US looking for a better life. He spent his childhood living with his family on Vine Ave. and graduated from SBHS in 1956, then joined the Navy Reserves. Shortly after being discharged he started a career with GTE, which lasted over a period of 25 years. After retiring from the phone company he started a business called RM Refinishing.

His passions in life were hunting and fishing with his sons and nephews. He also enjoyed playing horseshoes and was part of the Chicken Georges Gang at Oak Park.

Throughout his life he bowled on several leagues, could cut a rug with his dance moves, loved to cook and BBQ while enjoying a beer or two.

He enjoyed life and always greeted you with a smile.

He is survived by 4 children, Jennifer Coffman, Raymond Paul, Jason Paul and Christopher Paul Munoz. Along with 4 grandchildren, Daniel Gon-

son Pruden (James Pruden), Karl Grey “Bear” Erickson, and Nico Naretto, and a great granddaughter, Payton Anderson.

A Memorial Funeral Service will be held at 2pm on Sunday, June 4, 2017 at Loper Funeral Chapel in Ballard, California.

Born November 21, 1923 in Mount Pleasant, Michigan to parents Frances and Sherrod Noe, Mary Virginia Erickson passed away on May 4, 2017 in Solvang, California.

Virginia will long be remembered for her independent thinking, strength of character, sense of humor, and love of life. There was always room for one more at her table, not only because of her great cooking, but also for her joy to be surrounded by family and friends, and her many pets.

In their early years together, Virginia helped her husband Rod in his construction business. They built a number of homes for their family in the San Fernando Valley and Lake Arrowhead, eventually settling at “the ranch”, their beloved home In Solvang.

Virginia was always active and athletic. She was a champion water skier, showed Welsh Ponies, and was a member of both the Santa Ynez Valley Hunt Club and the Sage Hens.

Many friends will remember her for the delicious homemade jams that she made in vast quantities, a tradition that she lovingly passed on to her great-granddaughter. This truly expresses the wonderful spirit and generous nature that we will all remember her for.

She was preceded in death by her husband Eric Roderick Erickson. She is survived by her 3 children; Eric Roderick Erickson (Neil E. Korpinen), Gregory Standfill Erickson (Annie Erickson Yakutis), and Lisa Kristina Erickson, 3 grandchildren; Jennie Ander-

It's been 5 years, that you went to the house of the Lord.

The pain never goes away. Not too many friends remember you, because everybody has their own life to live, but I am close to you spiritually. I wish I could say one more time that I love you. I wish you would come through the door calling me "ma" but I know that's impossible. I know that you can feel my tears run down my cheeks. When you left, my heart was broken. It's still a painful hole in my chest because you had to die. I pray to God to give me the strength that I need I struggle on a daily basis with this heartache. I love you, I miss you.

Rest in peace my sweet baby.

Love ma.

Jody Lynn Kaufman 1952-2017 Beautiful and Brilliant

M a R t i e L e v y, Pat S h e P Pa R d , and R i c h a R d S i Lv e R

A

ny remembrance about Jody

Lynn Kaufman has as its hallmark the excellence Jody brought to every aspect of her life. Her husband describes her as brilliant and beautiful. Her children talk about what an incredibly supportive and nurturing mother she was. Everyone who knew her would speak about her impressive ability to figure out how to build anything, design fabric art, and create beautiful gardens. We are writing this as her very close friends. Some of us have known Jody for more than 30 years, and all of us count ourselves extremely fortunate to have had her as such an important part of our lives.

Jody grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, the second child of Michael and Shirley (Danielson) Comstock.

After her father left her mother with four children to raise, it was a hard time for the family. Jody started babysitting at an early age. By the time she was 16, she was working 40 hours a week or more. Even as a full-time college student, she worked 20 hours a week. Jody majored in business and was brilliant with numbers, but she was also an artist. It was in college that she met and married the love of her life, Scott Kaufman, a love that lasted more than 45 years. When they were first married, since Scott loved music and it was the 1970s, they headed to California after college, settling in Santa Barbara.

While Scott pursued his dream of a career in music, Jody, ever practical, got a job at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she became an extraordinary administrator. As executive director of Academic Affairs, Jody provided a continuity and keen insights that guided a succession of six executive vice chancellors at a period of unprecedented growth in the campus’s academic programs. In addition to managing the resources for UCSB’s largest division, she oversaw capital and long-range planning, and the division’s technical infrastructure.

She was extremely collegial, mentoring and advancing staff all over campus. Professionals from all divisions came to her for advice, and she always generously provided her ideas and creative solutions.

Jody and Scott were blessed with two children, Rachel and Connor. Jody loved being a mother. As Rabbi Steve Cohen said of Jody, “For both of her children, Jody was not just mother. She was their friend and mentor. She had a brilliant gift for bringing out the best in a person and did that for so many of us, but first and foremost for her

own kids, Rachel and Connor. And as she saw her own children beginning to make a real contribution in the world, nothing gave Jody more pride and joy than talking about those two, and their lives, and especially seeing them both following so brilliantly in her footsteps.”

Jody welcomed son-in-law Jordan into the family with open arms and was so happy when she became a grandmother to two adorable little girls, Ella and Lyla. She was very hands-on and interacted with the girls every day, providing much appreciated support to her daughter’s burgeoning family.

After Conner’s graduation from UCSB, Jody was proud to see his success in building a technical career on the campus. She welcomed his girlfriend Melia into the family and enjoyed special outings into the wine country while the two of them got to know and appreciate each other.

Jody welcomed so many friends into her family, embracing each person with graciousness and warmth. She was an especially talented chef who took the time to develop memorable occasions for her family and friends. From Passover dinners to Fourth of July picnics to Halloween block parties, she created festive affairs with detailed decorations and always plenty of her superb cooking. Over the years, she created many photo albums for her friends, marking important milestones in their lives. We have continued her tradition with our own families.

Jody was a mainstay of the Jewish community, serving for many years on the Board of Directors for both Hillel and Temple B’nai B’rith. She was especially respected for her sage advice regarding finances and capital planning.

After retiring from UCSB, Jody volunteered as a math tutor for 3rd graders at El Camino Elementary school. She was dedicated to reaching each child — finding out how each one learned and then tailoring her teaching to fit. She gained great satisfaction every time she saw a child grasp a new concept and move ahead. The children loved her and would call out for “Mrs. K!” whenever they needed help.

Jody was an extraordinarily talented, creative, supportive, and loving person. We will remember her smile, her wit, her laugh, and, most of all, her generosity. We have lost an amazing woman much too soon, but she will always hold a place in our hearts and we will never ever forget her.

G

In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to El Camino School PTA, 5020 San Simeon Drive, Santa Barbara 93111, in care of Jody’s Fund.

a futile effort. Similarly, Trump underestimating the value of scientific information could result in unforeseen and undesirable outcomes. Major businesses in the U.S., from auto industries to real estate companies, depend on information from the EPA. Even other countries rely on our government’s scientific data to predict and plan for natural disasters and agricultural risks. Trump’s suppression of scientific data could compromise the operations of both domestic and international entities.

As for international relations, the U.S. government—as the self-proclaimed leader of the free world — has a moral responsibility to keep its science publicly available.

Despite Trump’s denial of climate change, the closest allies of the U.S. (e.g., Canada, Europe) have been tackling the issue for over a decade; their scientists rely on data provided by the EPA, NASA, and other U.S. scientific research bodies. Removal of the EPA’s climate change data not only undermines

ast month, the EPA quietly removed all climate-change-related information from its website under orders of new director Scott Pruitt.

Though a “snapshot” links to the old webpage at an archive outside the Environmental Protection Agency, a statement also indicates the agency is “updating language” at epa.gov. The decision to remove climate change information is not only scientifically unethical but also censorship, a form of political coercion through the control of publicly available knowledge. Trump may think these actions are a show of power, but censorship instances like this one will discredit his administration’s competence, if it hasn’t already, in all fields of governance.

Obstruction of science isn’t new. Under President George W. Bush, federal agencies were advised against using the terms “global warming” or “climate change” in governmental reports. Even more restrictive practices happened in Canada until The decision to Justin Trudeau took office; under remove climate change the previous prime minister Stephen Harper, governmental policies obfusinformation is not only cated communication between federal scientists and the media.

Welcome to hanoi 2005 A Return to Vietnam Brings Unexpected Gratitude

by RichaRd GRaham

nock knock. I walk over to the hotel room

door. My wife, Nancy, and I have just arrived in Vietnam for a two-week tour of the north and south.

Standing in the doorway, a young Vietnamese woman offers a chilled silver bucket with champagne and crystal glasses. “Welcome to Hanoi, Mr. and Mrs. Graham,” she greets us. “We hope you enjoy your stay and appreciate your tour of our country,” I am speechless as I take the champagne from her.

Thirty-five years before, my fellow Americans and I were at war with Hanoi, and today I am greeted with champagne and a warm smile on our first day in-country.

Nancy and I have traveled to many countries around the world, but I have never wanted to return to Vietnam.

The memories of that war from my service in 1967-68 kept the idea of returning far from my mind. My fellow soldiers had suffered and fought so hard to help Vietnam be free of tyranny. We left before we could finish the job.

Most of us came home humiliated and frustrated, and most of us had no desire to see what happened once the Communists moved in and took over the country.

For some reason, all these years later, Nancy convinced me that this trip might be healing. I agreed to go and try to have a good attitude.

We had landed in Hanoi that afternoon. On the way to our hotel, our tour guide paused by the small lake where John McCain had been shot down. He had ejected from his damaged jet and parachuted safely into the shallow waters. The tour guide went on to explain that within minutes of seeing McCain land in the water, the villagers living around this lake waded in. They grabbed any kind of tool or weapon they could find, and they began to beat John McCain horribly, maiming him for life. We were at war, and they took out their vengeance on the only enemy they had access to.

My only other recollection of Hanoi was when Jane Fonda visited the North Vietnamese capital in 1972. She was such a huge star; many of us young GIs had those famous pin-ups of her hanging in our tents or barracks.

The national news showed “Hanoi Jane” with an enemy helmet on, seated on an anti-aircraft gun pointed to the sky where American planes flew. On that trip she berated our POWs on TV for all the world to see, and we felt betrayed seeing her posing in the midst of the North Vietnamese army.

I was not sure how this trip was going to be healing for me. The champagne and cute smile helped a little, though, as I prepared for the rest of the trip.

FOREIGN WARS: After pulling all-night guard duty during the Tet Offensive in 1968, author Richard Graham (top) recalls a beautiful morning after at the 815th Engineers base in Pleiku, Vietnam. He stands before Hoa Lo Prison (bottom), better known as the Hanoi Hilton, during a 2005 visit; the prison housed POW Lt. Commander John McCain for five torturous years.

ost of the next two weeks, actually, was excit-

ing and interesting. We met so many kind, friendly people and visited some wonderful cultural and historical sites. Like many third-world countries in 2005, Vietnam was part of an economic boom, with multinational companies building factories and hiring low-cost Vietnamese labor to build goods for world consumption.

Departing Hanoi and North Vietnam, we landed in Da Nang in the middle of the country. Our new guide was a middle-aged Vietnamese woman named Mai, who spoke passable English. We were only with her for a few days but got to learn a lot about her life.

I do not usually reveal my military years, especially to strangers, and had not planned to while I was in Vietnam. But I soon trusted Mai and her gentle nature. As we conversed,

Mai was surprised to learn that I was a veteran. “You are the first U.S. war veteran I have ever met.” She began to tell a terrible chapter in her family’s experiences during and just after the war years.

Mai’s father was in the South Vietnamese Army, the U.S. ally in the fight to free his country. He was stationed not far from my base in Pleiku. Her dad was serving with the American

infantry and believed that his country could remain free with U.S. help. As JFK and Lyndon Johnson escalated the troop numbers, he was hopeful for his family. He felt that together, we could rout the enemy forces of the north and free his nation from tyranny. But that day never came. When the U.S. forces were called home in humiliation, Mai’s father was captured and sent to a reeducation camp. He was tortured and not fed very well.

Her family had to move near the prison so they could bring food and medicine to him. Mai described to us his final years in that prison camp, where he eventually died, despite his family’s efforts to help him.

Mai was emotional telling her story to us. She said, “My dad died too young, and I miss him so much.” She felt she needed to tell me how grateful she was to the young American GIs who came from so far away to try to free her country. Her father never said a bad word when the U.S. finally gave up and went home. Mai said to me, “I know your countrymen treated you with disrespect when you went home. I am sorry your countrymen did not understand the war. I am sorry your countrymen did not understand why our nation wanted to be free like the United States. If you could speak Vietnamese and ask most people in Da Nang today, they would thank you for trying.”

After the war, Mai said she decided to stay in Vietnam to care for her aging grandmother. Her mother and brothers and sisters escaped the Communists in the famous Vietnamese boat migration. They immigrated to America, and she proudly said, “My family owns some 7-Eleven stores in your country.”

“You must tell your friends that under the Communists, we have done well for these past 10 years. We can now save money, buy a motorcycle, [and] go to the movies, and we have the Internet, so we are more content now.” I could not fathom the degree of misery she and her countrymen endured both during the 15-year war and the Communist takeover for the next 40 years. For me, it was a 12-month commitment and back to the comfort and luxury of living free. Mai was so brave in telling her story. She could have gotten in trouble for sharing this information with us, and the bus driver reminded her a couple of times to tone her rhetoric down. Mai was relieved to be able to share this story of her family struggles. She even said, “When you visit Saigon next week, you say, ‘Saigon,’ even though the communists changed the name to Ho Chi Minh City.”

Mai’s story was touching. And it became the healing chapter my wife had hoped for.

As we parted, my wife asked Mai if she believed in divine intervention. She replied,“I don’t know what those words mean.” Nancy explained, “I believe that you were sent to tell your story to my husband. Your kind words have lifted our spirits and made this trip a highlight of our lives.”

I finally realized that my service and that of all two and a half million American servicemen and servicewomen of the ’60s and ’70s was not in vain and that we were appreciated by the people of Vietnam, who wanted to live free, even if our n own country failed to help them achieve it.

They started out in neat rows on a table onstage, but by the end of each evening, the bright green statuettes representing the 2017 Independent Theater and Dance Awards dotted the room like fresh shoots of spring plants growing in fertile soil. Thus distributed, the shiny lower case i ’s made an apt metaphor for the fertility of our beloved creative community, and served as a reminder that art, like nature, is perpetually renewed by life.

theAter On Monday, May 22, the hands that grasped the 2017 Theater awards belonged to a remarkably diverse group of people engaged in a wide variety of theatrical endeavors. They ranged from eager high school musical performers such as Michael-Anthony Claytor and Nicole Trujillo, two of the stars of the Dos Pueblos High School production of The Addams Family Musical, to hearty veterans such as Kitty Balay of PCPA, who won for her role as Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, and James O’Neil of the Rubicon, who was honored for his portrayal of the title character in Clarence Darrow.

The Indy Awards exist to acknowledge all aspects of theatrical creation, not just acting and directing, and this year, two artists associated with Ensemble Theatre Company received recognition for their contributions to the look and feel of that organization’s polished, professional shows. They were Dianne K. Graebner, who designed the costumes for Fallen Angels, and Sara Ryung Clement, who created the fantastic plantation house set that housed Baby Doll.

Multiple award winners included Lizzie, the Lizzie Borden musical produced by Out of the Box, and I’m Alive You Bastards and Always Will Be, the Roxie Perkins play put on by On the Verge summer festival.

facetite FaceTite provides dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck, which was previously only attainable through a surgical procedure such as a facelift. FaceTite utilizes radio-frequency energy, that is minimally invasive in order to melt fat and tighten skin.

fractora The Ultimate Non-Invasive Skin Renovation Without Surgery Fractora delivers targeted bipolar RF energy to various selectable depths in the skin. Fractora meets and exceeds the results of fractional CO2 without the associated downtime, prolonged redness, and pigmentation drawbacks. Fractora achieves full-scale treatment depths with customizable fractional energy to improve superficial skin tone problems (photo damage) to deep textural concerns (rhytids and tightening). Clinicians can select between variable depths, densities and energy levels for results that were previously unattainable without excisional surgery.

Truth Along the Camino de Santiago

he kids heading up the annual Random Acts of Kindness Challenge in teacher Leon Lewandowski’s classroom at Franklin Elementary School brainstormed, produced, and delivered bags of necessities to about 25 homeless women and men in Santa Barbara last month. From bath soap and toothbrushes to granola bars and sleeping bags, Lewandowski’s 3rd and 4th graders rallied fellow students, area businesses, and big corporations for donations and then packed up everything into Sacks of Hope

for distribution by the Central Coast Collaborative on Homelessness.

“The majority of students [at Franklin] live in poverty, are second-language learners, and come from families who have not had the opportunities for higher education,” said Lewandowski, who’s been teaching for 20 years, the last five at Franklin. “Yet these kids have worked all year to help others who are in more need than they are.”

n a difficulty scale of one to five, the hike on our week-long pilgrimage was rated a four or a five. Looking out the window of the bus to the trailhead, the intimidating mountains of northeastern Spain gave us reason to worry. Since I had done little research on our walk starting in San Sebastian, we turned to our guidebook’s description for this section of the Camino de Santiago: “The most physically demanding stretches of the Northern Caminos are the opening stages.”

My husband and I were wrapping up a three-month, around-theworld trip celebrating our joint retirement and 60th birthdays. The pilgrimage was a time to reflect on our lives as retirees. I knew I wanted to write but not what to write — or even why. The pilgrimage, I hoped, would provide some divine insight.

My first revelation came early— early I knew I was not doing this again. At 60, my joints were too worn to handle long stretches in the Cantabrian Mountains. No one day in the first week of October stands out. They were all 8-10 hours of hiking on cloudy, rainy, sunny, or windy days. Our route skirted around towns, winding instead through forested areas.

Shave & a Haircut: Wolf’S head annex paul wellman

L

ast fall, when 27-year-old Isaac Alvarado (pictured) opened his first barbershop, his grandfather, Manny Moreno, passed along a family heirloom — a Koken barber chair that Moreno put to use in the 1960s at the now-closed Valley Barbers in Old Town Goleta. Koken chairs were revolutionary when they debuted in 1891; they were the first to hydraulically move up and down. Welcoming customers with a clean, vintage look, Alvarado had his grandfather’s chair rechromed and reupholstered before opening day. “It looks brand-new again,” Alvarado said. “Just like an old car.”

Along with that chair, Alvarado inherited an aptitude for shears and style. His mother, too, was cutting and styling at Shear Image Hair Design in the Magnolia Shopping Center, where Alvarado would walk every day and hang out after school at San Marcos High. That’s where he got his start, just soaking up technique and aesthetic as kids tend to do. (His mom now works at E Salon, also in Goleta.)

Eventually, Alvarado set out on his own, enrolling at Lu Ross Academy in Ventura, where he studied during the day before cutting hair each afternoon and evening at Top Hat Barber & Beauty Shop in Oxnard. Earning his certificate three years ago, he headed back to Santa Barbara, cutting at Magnolia Barbershop near his mom’s salon and concurrently at Wolf’s Head, located downtown on State Street. He did that seven days a week for eight months straight, he said, before shifting to Wolf’s Head full-time. Then the opportunity presented itself to open his own

place. “I jumped on it,” he remembers. “It just happened— it just manifested— because I was working so hard. That’s the way I look at it.”

It didn’t hurt, either, that the landlord of the Wolf’s Head building had just purchased the Victoria Street spot and was looking for another barber to fill the 190-square-foot space vacated by longtime tenant Members Only Barber Shop, which has since relocated. Along with his own décor, Alvarado added a second chair, a fully restored Theo A. Kochs from the 1920s. “Lots of shops are going for that old-school theme,” he said.“These chairs are getting hard to find.”

We met only six other walkers in six days of trekking. I decided to hike a few days in silence—that would, I thought, get the divine inspiration flowing. But the only clarity that pierced the low-grade discomfort in my muscles and grinding joints was a nearly constant prayer for another rest stop with food and wine.

Strangely, the few other pilgrims we met didn’t seem to be struggling.

An American in his forties wasn’t even tired. A 60-year-old Australian lady and her walking mate, 62, had done this Camino twice. Three older Spaniards we met walked the Camino de Santiago annually. They were joyful, full of life, and, by the time we reached lunch spots, they were already there with wine in their hands and a toast for us.

My second revelation came on the last day. At the end-of-the-trail marker in Bilbao, we bumped into the three Spaniards again. It turns out there were five of them; one was a relief hiker and the other a driver.

I had discovered some misrepresentation.

My final revelation came a year later. Sitting at my keyboard, the thrill of a long-sought insight rang true. I can’t claim the pilgrimage brought me divine inspiration, but it did clear my mind of clutter. I realized seeking out truth in your writing, if only for a travel article, is a valid pursuit.

Lessons from a Bike accident CycleMAYnia Reminds Us to Stay Safe on the Roads

by John

Zant

paul wellman

W

ith knees too worn down to absorb the shock of running, I turned to cycling as my primary physical activity. It served a practical purpose — as a healthy way to get around town running errands, and it also gave me the sense of a sporting challenge. I succeeded in meeting the perils of the road until a year ago, when I rode into the wet and rutty Castillo Street underpass. The resulting crash put me on the DL (disabled list) for three months with two cracks in my pelvis.

During my recovery, I encountered a young woman on crutches and asked her what happened, and she described the same thing that happened to me. An experienced cyclist, she was setting out on a ride to Ventura and took the bike lane on Castillo Street toward the waterfront. She entered the underpass slowly and carefully, she said, but her bike went down on the slippery cobblestones. Her helmet was cracked as well as her pelvis.

The condition of the underpass, which sits below the water table, has been a chronic problem. Caltrans is responsible for the road and has failed in all its attempts to remove water from the surface. The cobblestones have proved to be the least satisfactory solution, being downright dangerous to cyclists. The agency is said to be addressing the issue in the near future. In the meantime, there is a sign advising cyclists to dismount their bikes and walk through the underpass. I choose to avoid it entirely, with a skull-and-crossbones sign in my mind. State Street is a safe detour.

During this month of Cycle­ MAYnia, I commend the safety tips recently put out by the police department, for both cyclists and motorists: Ride and drive focused; expect the unexpected; always wear a helmet or seat belt; know the rules of the road; show mutual respect.

I learned a long time ago the danger of being distracted while riding a bike. I was on my way to a class at UCSB when a comely coed (aren’t they all) caught my eye. The next thing I knew, I was flying over the handlebars, as my front wheel made a direct hit on a post in the middle of the bike path.

“Are you all right?” she asked. Instead of lying there, accepting her ministrations and getting to know her better, I leaped to my feet and pedaled off on my bike, its frame now bent, and my forearms bleeding. I made it to my class and never saw her again.

I did thereafter always focus on the road ahead of me, taking special care to steer clear of the stanchions that divided the lanes at the entry points of area bike paths. In recent years, the county has removed those obstacles, which seemed more hazardous than useful.

There are plenty of other obstacles to watch out for.

Sharp-edged debris is common at curbsides throughout the town: broken glass, nails, screws, nuts, bolts, razor blades, fuel caps, tools, rocks. I sometimes stop to remove them, like the paring knife I recently claimed.

The most clear and present danger on city streets is motor-vehicle traffic. I’ve seen enough drivers on their cell phones behind the wheel to be wary of every vehicle around me. I implore them to use their signals before turning in front of me. If they have the right of way at an intersection, I want them to take it, keeping the traffic flow orderly and predictable. Not so predictable are cars exiting driveways and doors opening on parked cars.

Of course, cyclists bear their share of responsibility. I hate to see them running red lights in the absence of cross traffic. I take issue with groups of riders who refuse to travel in single file on narrow bike lanes, forcing drivers to slow behind them lest they violate the three-feet clearance rule.

An oncoming cycling club recently took up the entire width of the Goleta Beach bike path and forced me to the edge of the pavement to avoid a head-on collision.

I might have taken such incidents as a sporting adventure in the past, but now I’m getting too old for it.

TOUR OF PAIN AND GLORY: Riders in a professional cycling race like the Amgen Tour of California can enjoy

racing on roads that are closed to normal traffic, but they face other risks related to speed and close contact with their competitors. I felt the pain of Latvian rider Toms Skujins when he crashed during a rapid descent in Stage 2, resulting in a concussion, severe road rash, and a collarbone broken in five places. It happens to the best of them.

Stage 4 got off to a smooth start on Cabrillo Boulevard last Wednesday. It ended 99 miles later in Santa Clarita with America’s Evan Huffman striking a blow for the little guys.

John Zant’s Game of the Week 5/28: Polo: Ramsey Asphalt Pope Challenge The father-son combina-

tion of Luis and Nico Escobar plays for the U.S. Polo Association Team, winner of the first 12-goal tournament of the season at the Carpinteria polo fields. The Pope Challenge, the second of four tournaments leading up to the 16-goal competition in midsummer, wraps up this Sunday. Other contenders are Farmers & Merchants Bank, Klentner Ranch, and Antelope. “Derby attire” is suggested but not required.

98 MILES TO GO: The riders were just getting warmed up when they followed a pace car up Hot Springs Road, a mile into Stage 4 of the 2017 Amgen Tour of California.

Riding for Rally Cycling, which did not have the prestige of being a World Tour–classified team, Huffman led a breakaway group across the finish line, much to the surprise of the big-name riders in the pursuing peloton. Usually, the peloton stalks the early leaders like a hungry beast, inevitably catching them in a state of exhaustion, chewing them up and spitting them out.

Amazingly, Huffman pulled off another victory Saturday in the tour-ending Stage 7 in downtown Pasadena. The overall champion, New Zealand’s George Bennett of Team LottoNL-Jumbo, stayed in the pack during the final stage to protect the lead he had gained in a time trial at Big Bear Lake the previous day.

LOVE AND BASKETBALL: Ten new members of the Santa Barbara Court of Champions gave insights into their

journeys on and off the basketball court at their induction banquet Sunday night. They were a diverse group — from retired coach George Terzian, who played at Westmont College 60 years ago, to NBA player Alan Williams, just two years out of UCSB — but all were bonded by a game in which building relationships is paramount. Interviewed in seven-minute segments by John Moore, the Westmont men’s coach, each honoree expressed love and gratitude in some way: to their families, to their teammates and coaches, to a supportive community, and to a divine presence in their hearts. Former UCSB star Lucius Davis brought the house down by bursting into a song. You couldn’t find three stronger women than Kayte Christensen, an NBA sideline reporter and talk-show host; Kristin Knapp Cole, a Division 1 college coach; and Lisa Willett Fry, a schoolteacher.

Old-school coaches Terzian, Bill Odell, and Ron Mulder — all of them former Westmont players — dispensed their wisdom, while Phil Sherman is still coaching the girls’ team at Dos Pueblos after a stint with the boys, and UCSB grad Josh Merrill is a “sports pastor” in the San Fernando Valley. “Big Al” Williams wrapped it up by saying he was honored to be in such company, and he hoped to return in n 15 years with kids of his own.

usual wine-accessory pitches I get regularly— regularly stain remover! plastic beach glasses! the next game-changing app! — I simply ignored the first couple of emails from a publicist advertising a vial full of crystals that was supposed to make your wine smoother. The Vino Vial was the latest product from a German company called VitaJuwel, whose founder, Ewald Eisen, believes that certain crystals can make water healthier.

But persistence pays off, so a few weeks ago, I was in our conference room, sipping on a glass of Dunn Vineyards Howell Mountain 2012 cabernet from Napa — $150 a bottle and, yeah, damn good — while waiting about seven minutes for the magic gems to do their stuff on the second glass of cab.

I was trying to come up with a way to politely but firmly tell the Vino Vial’s American distributor, the very nice and professional longtime luxury jewelry dealer Anjanette Sinesio, that the whole thing was wacko.

And then, when the time was right, I sipped the crystal-enhanced Dunn.

“Huh!” I immediately uttered in that universal “wow” tone.

“I know!” replied Sinesio.

“It’s pretty obvious,” I admitted sheepishly. As you’d expect from a young Napa, the original wine was firmly structured with chalky tannins, a bit too tight for pure enjoyment right now but sure to be excellent for decades to come. The crystal-treated one, though, was remarkably smoother, allowing the fruit and spice flavors to take cen-

ter stage with a bit more ease. I was shocked.

So is mostly everyone else.“People have been freaking out,” said Sinesio, who’s been bringing the vials to wine stores and other retail outlets around the country since she began selling them last November. “It really enlivens the wine, softens the tannins, and gives you a window into the future of what a young wine could be. When people taste it, it is pretty evident.”

The vials, which are hand-blown in Bohemia, contain amethyst, white quartz, and a tiny bit of garnet suspended in an alcohol-water solution, and apparently have the same effect as just dropping actual crystals into your glass (which wouldn’t be safe for a number of reasons). Sinesio said that gems are known to lower the pH in water, and he points to quartz-powered wristwatches when people scoff at energy-crystal-connection claims. “People have been using gems in water for millennia,” said Sinesio. “Ewald just modernized it.”

I’m not sure of the quantitative realities of this practice—and, to be honest, I haven’t tested the vial again, as it doesn’t really fit into my personal wine flow—but I know that, qualitatively, something happened to my cab that afternoon. So if you’ve got some massive wines that need immediate smoothing, it’s worth a shot. And at the very least, it’s a fun party trick.

See vitajuwel.us. It’s $60 for the by-the-glass droplet, $144 for the decanter-sized vial, and $210 for the — Matt Kettmann decanter.

SECRET MENU: Thrifty Denny’s diners can order biscuits and gravy without the biscuits and gravy, a cheaper alternative to ordering a side of eggs and hash browns.

NOTHING FOR BREAKFAST: While traveling in

Northern California last week with my family, we stopped at a Denny’s restaurant for breakfast.

When I go to Denny’s, I almost always order the same thing: two eggs and hash browns. Unfortunately, Denny’s has never had this as a package breakfast option, so I order it as a series of side dishes for a total of $7 ($3 for hash browns, $4 for two eggs). As I was ordering, a smart and friendly waiter told me of a secret way to save money on my favorite Denny’s morning meal. Instead of ordering two eggs and hash browns as side dishes the waiter told me to order “biscuits and gravy without the biscuits and gravy.” When I told the waiter that it sounds like I am not ordering anything, he replied that the biscuits and gravy meal comes with two eggs and hash browns and that the whole meal costs just $4. So from now on, whenever I make an early run to Denny’s, I’ll be n sure to order nothing for breakfast.

Brian Wilson BrinGs Gs Pet sounds to Bo Gs BoWl PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

S

anta Barbarans will celebrate Brian Wilson’s poetry, a harmonic manifestation of endless summer that’s been in the public ear for three generations, this Memorial Day weekend at the Santa Barbara Bowl with the 50th Anniversary Pet Sounds Tour. Widely considered an iconic masterwork of the American pop-music canon, Pet Sounds, first released in 1966, is a pop symphony that pairs sound effects and electronic manipulations with orchestra-inspired musical constructs. A critical darling for a half century, the Pet Sounds narrative offers waning naiveté on the brink of cynicism in the face of a less innocent age. This psychedelic exploration, layered with Wilson’s wistful lyrics and bright harmonies, set the tone for a young generation of postwar adolescents struggling to find footing in the tumultuous social structure of the late ’60s.

In contrast to Pet Sounds’ angsty illustration of an evolving viewpoint, Wilson, it seems, has found peace. A youth lived in the public eye, followed by a decades-long struggle with drug use, mental illness, and over-medication, has left Wilson a different man than the one whose masterwork of record production has inspired musicians for three generations. In a recent interview with The Santa Barbara Independent Independent, Wilson, now in his seventies, spoke contentedly of a career that continues to delight listeners old and young. A man of few words, Wilson has straightforward impressions of his body of work: He calls the 50th Anniversary Pet Sounds Tour a joyful experience for all involved, because “… we love the album and we like to make people happy.”

Pet Sounds was a unique musical endeavor for the time. Recorded with classically trained studio musicians known as The Wrecking Crew, the album is seen as a triumph of studio production. The Wrecking Crew also played with Phil Spector, one

Brian Wilson

of Wilson’s prominent musical influences.

Wilson also names Little Richard, The Four Freshmen, and Rosemary Clooney as musical inspirations, though when I asked if he likes the sound of any contemporary artists, his response was a succinct “no.”

Despite a strained, chemically altered mind, Wilson has made a career out of creating pop music. After producing the Pet Sounds masterwork by age 23, and a mid-life hiatus from recording, Wilson returned his energy to his musical narrative in the last 15 years. And while his latest album, No Pier Pressure (2015), features the recognizable Wilson sound, he admits that the recording process has changed.

“We took a lot longer time to record the No Pier Pressure album,” Wilson said. “Pet Sounds took about a month; No Pier Pressure took a year. So we’re slowing down a little bit.”

Advanced age aside, his voice retains the recognizable intonation from the early

Beach Boys records, even if the depth of consideration that one would expect from the architect of such a complex and layered sound is absent. Wilson, along with the remaining living Beach Boys, are no longer the long-haired youths on the Pet Sounds album cover, and this 50th Anniversary Tour is a particular type of musical experience. Wilson says the audience can expect the music to do what it always does: move and groove; but the Beach Boys experience five decades after the summer of love means most of that move and groove will be vocal.

Yet for fans of the Pet Sounds album, Wilson is certainly an act to see before he’s no longer unable to tour.

I grew up listening to Pet Sounds, it being one of the flagship albums of my father’s collection. I related to the album through the filter of Dad’s nostalgia, but also through my own experience finding solid ground through the tremors of adolescence. At the intersection between accessibility and artistry, Pet Sounds offers an easy-listening experience with a layered intricacy that becomes more apparent with each successive listen. Wilson said that the melodies and the harmonies stick with people, and the lyrics are intimate and personal — but he never elaborates beyond an expression of gratitude for the ability to make his audi audience happy with his sound.

“It’s always great to see that people like the music,” he said of the current tour, leaving his music, and the legacy of a great album, to speak for him.

— Maggie Yates

animals: a to Z at Wildling African saddle-billed storks, wolverines, horses, zebras — these are just a few of the beasties represented in the Wildling Museum’s upcoming exhibit Animals: A to Z. Myriad artists have contributed to the show — some from out of state, some from S.B. — including Marc Muench, John Iwerks, Joel Sartore, and Katie Upton. The media used to capture the animals vary from photography to abstract painting to pencil drawings; pieces that portray endangered species will have a notation next to them, informing viewers of the crisis the animal is facing and providing information about what they can do to help.

The exhibit will also feature artwork created by several residents from the Santa Barbara Zoo, which has partnered with the Wildling; it will have a companion show in the Volentine Family Gallery in the Discovery Pavilion featuring pieces created by students from Solvang School and Montessori Center School of Goleta.

An opening reception takes place Saturday, June 10, 3-5 p.m. The show runs through October 9 at Wildling Museum (1511-B Mission Dr., Solvang). For more information, see wildlingmuseum.org.

Parry GriPP

Gets an emmy

Santa Barbara native and original Nerf Herder Parry Gripp has won the 2017 Daytime Creative Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song. His winning composition, “I’m Not Very Nice,” from the animated Disney series The 7D, was written for the character Hildy Gloom, who is voiced by actress and former reality star Kelly Osbourne. It’s a pop-punk anthem about a woman who won’t fit in and includes the lyrics: “Some girls don’t like making faces / Their brothers know they never fight / But I’m not one of those girls / I’m not very nice.”

Hildy and her husband, Grim, cause constant trouble in Jollywood, the hometown of the 7D, as Snow White’s buddies are known in this prequel to the original 1937 Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Created

by Tom Ruegger, The 7D lasted two seasons before its final episode aired in November 2016. Gripp has been involved with The 7D from the beginning and received two Emmy Award nominations in song categories in 2015 when the show premiered.

Many of you will remember the work he did with Nerf Herder on the live-action series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Since then, Gripp has conquered more worlds as both a successful composer for animation (StoryBots, Ben 10, Marvel Super Hero Squad Squad) and a massively popular artist on YouTube, where such Gripp-authored memes as “Yum Yum Breakfast Burrito,” “Hamster on a Piano (Eating Popcorn),” and the unforgettable favorite “Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom” have earned his channel an astonishing 28-million-plus views.

“I’m Not Very Nice,” which takes the form of a music video for Hildy, has appeared in multiple episodes including “Hildyrella,” “A Royal Pain in the Castle,” and the series finale, “A Sneeze in Time.” Osbourne, who sings “I’m Not Very Nice,” compares Hildy to Beyoncé’s alter ego, Sasha Fierce, saying that Hildy is “bad with the best intentions.” For Gripp, Osbourne was the ideal collaborator; he said, “She’s great on the show and she’s great in the song.” Congratulations to Gripp on continuing to make punk rock that appeals to both Emmy voters and kids under 12.

Four visiting artists and I found myself having this craving to get — Danielle Garrison from Boulder, Elizabeth back off the ground until finally I just went Stich from Salt Lake City, Jenna Ober from into the backyard and hauled myself up into Minneapolis, and Allie Cooper from Santa a tree,” she said. “That’s how much I missed Cruz — join Santa Barbarans Rachna Hailey, the feeling.”

DRUMMING UP SUPPORT: The Zogfest, in memory of percussionist Erik Herzog (above), will benefit his surviving son, Lucas.

RemembeR the Zog

by Richie DeMaria

GOOD DAY FOR A MEMORIAL: Memorial Day is soon to arrive, a day on which we all have a chance to relax and unwind. It’s also a good time to remember those who are no longer with us, whether they were battling with foreign foes in far-off lands or simply battling that same struggle we all call life and soldiering on until the end.

Whether you knew him or not, you can head on down to SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State Street) to remember Goleta drummer Erik Herzog on Sunday, May 28, at 7 p.m. The celebrated percussionist who was known for his work in dozens of bands sadly passed away in November 2016 at the age of 47. The event will benefit his surviving son, Lucas Herzog, age 12, a musician who carries on his father’s legacy on the drums and on the stage.

The lineup for Zogfest — as it has been deemed — is great. There’s Bad Astronaut (featuring Joey Cape of Lagwagon and Marko DeSantis of Sugarcult, plus Todd Capps and Thom Flowers), Buellton, Cory Sipper, MOAB, Sean McCue (of Summercamp and Old Man), Hughes & Wagner, Railer, The Distractions, and Anti War Heroes (with Zach Madden, Dean Dining, and Todd Capps).

More importantly, it’s for a meaningful cause: helping a young musician grow. It’s also a chance for all those who loved and played with Herzog to continue playing in his spirit. There are few more enduring legacies than in the power of song, and this weekend will be a great time to memorialize the music.

SOAK UP THE SUNSET: Also at SOhO, the night prior, the lovable duo of Erisy & Raff will serenade with beer specials from the Greatland’s esteemed brewery M.Special and free tastings from rum brand Bacardi. The free event will start at 4 p.m. and last until sunset.

A PRESIDENT COMES TO TOWN: Thankfully, not the president, or else we would all have to wear hazmat suits to endure that toxically blinding and skinmelting glow of fake tan and bad reputation. No, I mean Prezident Brown, the conscious roots-reggae artist from Clarendon, Jamaica. Even from an early age, the rock-steady reggae emcee would grab the mic at school-yard dances and unleash his rhymes, earning a moniker from his mother: Junior Ranking. Now he’s top ranking, as they say in reggae, having worked with reggae producer legends such as Jack Ruby. See the Prezident at Velvet Jones (423 State Street) on Saturday, May 27, starting at 8 p.m.

SATURDAY, JUNE 24 AT 8PM

GOOD TIMES WITH BAD SUNS: Also at Velvet Jones, on Wednesday, May 31, L.A.’s Bad Suns will give us a good time with Field Medic. The show is already sold out, and for good reason, with anthemic music burning bright with fullthrottled emotion. But you know the thing about plans: Some people cancel them, so ticket-holders-to-be have hope.

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL: On Thursday, May 25, UCSB’s Black Student Union (BSU) and KCSB radio will present (93)106 & Park, an event offering a variety of performances with the stated goal of acknowledging all cultures within the black diaspora. The Storke Plaza festival comes as the penultimate event of BSU’s Black Culture Week, which also includes movie screenings, art showings, and a pool party. Celebrate the rich musical and creative expressions of the black experience in its endlessly wide spectrum. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate millions and millions of people and their histories, without whom our country — and world and souls — would be nothing, to say the n least.

he Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra (SBCO) closed its 2016/17 season with an all-Schumann program and acclaimed soloist Alessio Bax on piano. The slate featured At the Lobero Schumann’s Symphony No. Theatre, Tue., 2 in C Major, famous for May 16. its scherzo composed of rapid-fire violin refrains and a slight baroque influence, performed with excellence under the precise direction of Maestro Heiichiro Ohyama. The evening’s most noteworthy selection, Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A Minor, ostentatious with sweeping melodies, magnificently showcased Bax’s skills as a pianist. The composition appears challenging in that it requires near constant movement from the soloist, and the various melodies themselves are irrefutably emotionally demanding; the piece is evocative of today’s most gripping film scores.

Allesio Bax The scaled-back size of the orchestra and the Lobero Theatre’s intimate setting greatly enhanced the sound of the piano, putting the audience at the center of the melodic circulation. It’s rare to see a talent as virtuosic as Bax approach a piece of unparalleled complexity with obvious enjoyment. As the SBCO prepares for a postponed 2017/18 season, we as an audience can recognize the merit of the group and anticipate more high-quality chamber music in the future.

SOhO lent intimacy to what might have been a larger production on a larger stage, as Deni premiered unreleased material featuring a fuller, pop-centered sound. Still, much of the set was dedicated to older jams. Highlights included spins of Geographer’s dazzling 2010 release Animal Shapes, and renditions of “Original Sin,”“Kites,” and “Paris” hypnotized the crowd. Deni also played lo-fi and more delicate numbers such as “I’m Ready” and “Lover’s Game,” which spoke for themselves.

Opener Nine Pound Shadow was stunning with its Fleet Foxes–esque, bucolic folk, its harmonies glistening amid stripped-down ’70s melodies, the best B-sides from the best B-bands. Longtime fans greeted the bands after the show. Nobody was staying in the green room; nobody was going home early.

Trower has attributed his musical inspiration to both Jimi Hendrix and James Brown, and both genres — rock and funk — were present in his technique.

Trower’s 10-minute solos and various “guitar faces” resonated with the predominantly baby-boomer audience, which gave standing ovations after each number and, in the case of an inspired few, rose from their seats to dance in front of the stage. Fans who chose to remain seated expressed their enthusiasm by head-banging and/or making the familiar universal hand signal for “rock on.”

Although Trower, who has been around since the 1960s, is still producing good new records such as 2017’s Time and Emotion, his

Brittany Harter was suitably charismatic and shifty as Webster, while Taylor Gannon as the populist Fangirl and Alesha Claveria as the hard-case Journalist brought plenty of conflict and righteous sass to the mix. Interesting implications for contemporary culture cascaded from these hyperarticulate characters.

“AMAZINGLY FUNNY.”

Minnesotan Gothic Translates Delectably to the Small Screen

-A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES

NORMAN

I

admit to being part of a sizable public posse who avoided TV’s Fargo like a plague, or at least some suspicious cultural rash. We avid fans of the Coen Brothers’ darkly comic yet disarmingly elegant gothic crime saga on the big screen might have smelled exploitation and sad opportunism, regardless of the glowing reviews and insistence that this new TV progeny was both of itself and respectful of the mothership. But I ask you, how could anything replace the film’s crisp yet layered dimensions, dark comic twists, and memorable characters — the indomitable cool of detective Frances “you betcha!” McDormand, the in-over-his-head frantics of plot-launcher William F. Macy, or the virtuosic sinister sleaziness of Steve Buscemi?

Finally and belatedly, however, I have seen the light, and the third season currently underway is a grubby cool charm of generous proportions. Most importantly, the transition from large to small screen is not exactly a diminution or watering down of the treasured host film, but an expansion therefrom to a larger canvas (or canvases — each season being its own creation).

The “small”-screen Fargo relies on what’s good about television, especially in the New TV era, with its fluidity of narrative design and freedom to riff (as long as the cancelation hobgoblin is kept at bay).

While all of a piece and with various tendrils back to the Coen Bros’ vision (they serve as executive producers), each season of TV’s Fargo is a separate work, with a different cast, different era, and different sordid tale to tell, but always some connection to both the original film — and the good, flat, mythic land of Minnesota (the Coens’ home turf) as a common ground. In Season 3, the particulars include a dual role played (with a decent but self-acknowledged quirk of a Minnesota accent) by Ewan McGregor, who, like Zach Galifianakis in the goofily loveable Baskets, plays two diverse brothers. One McGregor is a parking lot magnate, suddenly running afoul of some loathsome criminal types — just as Macy’s character quickly escalated into a malevolent underworld — led by one of the screen’s scariest people, David Thewlis (think back to his unconscionable character in Mike Leigh’s Naked). The other McGregor is a much-less-hygiene-conscious, bumbling parole officer who hooks up with a beautiful, manipulative woman

SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and is himself drawn into criminal scheming, revolving around a valuable stamp 1 col x 3" THUR 5/25 in his brother’s possession. From that basic premise, the season — essentially an episodic 10-hour film — is off and running and detouring, with McDormand cop ~ Transformational Life Counseling ~ surrogate Carrie Coon steady and spidery on the case.

Certain Coen-esque hooks in the story will natuRelationships • Occupation and Career • Meditation rally jump out for infamy. In the cinema’s Fargo, we had Grief and Loss • Major Life Transitions • Anxiety the grisly wood-chipper scene (more grisly by implicaSpiritual Issues • Communication • Conflict tion than explicitness, like the bear-trap scene in Straw Dogs). In Season 3, a certain ex-con — with a fascinating backstory, suitable for one episode’s detective work — meets his grisly end via “misadventure by modern Transpersonal Counseling Psychology appliance,” as in an air-conditioning unit shoved out of a high apartment window, a winking nod to the Counseling From a Buddhist Perspective old cartoony trope of dangerous falling anvils and grand pianos. When the greasy-haired McGregor tells 805 698-0286 his fiancée, “I gotta be honest — I got some remorse,” about the killing, she deflects his feelings, dismissing their victim as an “unfathomable pinhead.” That’s entertainment!

Other Coen-ish touches are embedded in TV’s Fargo, including a juicy role for Coen alum Michael Awaken the Artist Within Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man), dimensions of visual awareness and clever camera work not often seen even on the “New TV,” and a keen, surprising use of music.

NOW SHOWiNG ➤ O Alien: Covenant

(122 mins., R)

It’s what we didn’t see in Ridley Scott’s first Alien, the film that made the sci-fi monster so exquisitely scary. The deadly game of hide-and-seek between mystery predator and the hapless space crew played on our nerves to incredible effect.

But with each sequel, that power of omission has suffered serious diminishing returns, culminating in Alien: Covenant, which has nothing left to hide. Still, Scott succeeds somewhat in keeping his suspense mojo moving with new types of critters — parasitic, plant-like spores and a smooth, white, humanoid version of the classic black and scaly killer. Settings in foggy wilderness and dark ruins add legitimate spookiness. And imminently watchable Michael Fassbender as two versions of the same “synthetic” is the gravity that holds the whole bloody thing together. (TH)

(NW) Paseo Nuevo Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (90 mins., PG) The fourth installment of the Wimpy Kid series, this film sees Greg and his brother Rodrick convincing their parents to take a family road trip to their grandmother’s house for her 90th birthday. The boys, however, have ulterior motives.

➤ Chuck

(98 mins., R)

A little bit of success can be a dangerous thing. Just ask boxer Chuck Wepner, the great white hope who managed to last 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali in 1975.

Wepner, a human punching bag known as the Bayonne Bleeder, is the quintessential big, messy mook from New Jersey for whom we are supposed to root because he’s got a big heart. He also happens to be the true story behind Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa. Wepner, we learn in Chuck, failed to make a dime off Rocky, mostly because he was on one of those Hollywood cocaine binges that so many movies about the ’70s seem to be about. The train wreck that was Wepner’s life — at least until he got out of prison and hooked up with the toogood-to-be-true, foxy, heart-of-gold bartender with a sharp tongue played by Naomi Watts — is as interminable as it is inevitable. Elisabeth Moss steals the show as Wepner’s not-going-to-take-itanymore wife, but Chuck ain’t Requiem for a Heavyweight nor does it hold a candle to American Hustle, the greatest cinematic celebration of New Jersey mook-dom ever. It does, however, capture that wonderfully naturalistic gritty graininess of ’70s movies; the same is true for the wardrobe. Jim Gaffigan goes against type, playing a whiney, unctuous slime ball and Wepner’s best bud.

Moments before the end of the movie, Wepner — played with sweaty hair and lots of blood by Liev Schreiber — says

(96 mins., PG-13)

Amandla Stenberg (Rue from The Hunger Games) stars as Maddy, a girl who must live in a “bubble” with filtered air due to a rare disease. When a new family moves next door, Maddy meets Olly (Nick Robinson). The two strike up an email relationship and soon fall in love.

How to Be a Latin Lover (115 mins., R) Ken Marino directs this comedy about a man, Maximo (Eugenio Derbez), who seduces older, rich women for their money. Then one day, his billionaire, 80-year-old wife dumps him for a younger man. Maximo goes to live with his estranged sister (Salma Hayek) and her son in their tiny apartment while he schemes to land his next sugar mama, Celeste (Raquel Welch).

Fiesta 5 King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (126 mins., PG-13) Here’s the expensive but easy-to-make recipe for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword: In an unconvincing CGI knockoff of Merlin’s cauldron, take two cups of costumes, sets, grime, and gore from Game of Thrones (include a few identical actors and accents for good measure), stir in three tablespoons of Guy Ritchie’s signature whiplash-inducing directing style (think Snatch and Sherlock Holmes), and finish it off with a big, fat, bloated budget of $175 million to rival those of epic box office flops Heaven’s Gate and John Carter. Pour the runny mess in a reusable tin the shape of Charlie Hunnam’s face, and bake for two and a half hours (but make sure it feels longer).

Serve with a garnish of wilted Jude Law, and pair with a forgettable goblet of Eric Bana. Best not eaten at all.

O Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (136 mins., PG-13) Sequels can be dodgy, the majority of them coming up way short of the original’s quality and appeal. Not so for the Guardians franchise, however. Vol. 2 evokes the same viewer delight as Vol. 1 while still managing to differentiate itself from its predecessor thanks to a strong script and the casts’ comic chops. The opening scene, for instance, is awash in cheeky humor as Peter Quill (a k a Star Lord), Rocket, Gamora, and Drax engage in a fight to save the Sovereign people — a genetically engineered perfect and literally golden race — from attack. Time and again, Baby Groot steals the show with his impish and innocent ways, but all of the characters are captivating to watch; Drax’s deadpan deliveries are some of the most uproarious moments in the film. Amid the glut of superhero movies coming out these days, Guardians sets itself apart with its decidedly antihero characters and irreverent humor. (MD) Camino Real (2D and 3D)/Metro 4 (2D)

O Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer (117 mins., R)

“Trust me” — those are always fraught words. But when followed by “something good will happen,” oh, look out.

Norman, written and directed by Joseph Cedar, is either about a boundless optimist or a thick-skinned operator, but whichever way you take him, Norman, played by Richard Gere, is never short of charming. When the quintessential back-scratcher befriends an aspiring politician (Lior Ashkenazi) on the mean streets of New York, the storyline’s hapless humor tilts, which soon begins twisting around Norman’s attempts to “help.” With the refreshingly unpredictable plot comes a readily recognizable cast — from Harris Yulin and Steve Buscemi to Dan Stevens and Michael Sheen, with a delicately cold-blooded performance by Charlotte Gainsbourg — not to mention some jaw-dropping split-screen editing. (JY) Plaza de Oro Snatched (91 mins., R) Comedian Amy Schumer teams up with Goldie Hawn in this comedy about a mother and daughter who take a trip to an exotic location and are forced to sort out their differences.

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “Sin” is a puerile concept in my eyes, so I don’t normally use it to discuss grown-up concerns. But if you give me permission to invoke it in a jokey, ironic way, I’ll recommend that you cultivate more surprising, interesting, and original sins. In other words, Aries, it’s high time to get bored with your predictable ways of stirring up a ruckus. Ask God or Life to bring you some really evocative mischief that will show you what you’ve been missing and lead you to your next robust learning experience.

(June 21-July 22): In your mind’s eye, drift back in time to a turning point in your past that didn’t go the way you’d hoped. But don’t dwell on the disappointment. Instead, change the memory. Visualize yourself then and there, but imagine you’re in possession of all the wisdom you have gathered since then. Next, picture an alternative ending to the old story — a finale in which you manage to pull off a much better result.

Bask in this transformed state of mind for five minutes. Repeat the whole exercise at least once a day for the next two weeks. It will generate good medicine that will produce a creative breakthrough no later than mid-June.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As long as you keep Syria, South Sudan, and North Korea off your itinerary, traveling would be food for your soul during the next 28 days.

It would also be balm for your primal worries and medicine for your outworn dogmas and an antidote for your comfortable illusions. Do you have the time and money necessary to make a pilgrimage to a place you regard as holy? How about a jaunt to a rousing sanctuary? Or an excursion to an exotic refuge that will shock you in friendly, healing ways? I hope that you will at least read a book about the territory that you may one day call your home away from home.

LEO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): By now I’m sure you have tuned in to the rumblings in your deep self. Should you be concerned? Maybe a little, but I think the more reasonable attitude is curiosity. Even though the shaking is getting stronger and louder, it’s also becoming more melodic.

The power that’s being unleashed will almost certainly turn out to be far more curative than destructive. The light it emits may at first look murky but will eventually bloom like a thousand moons. Maintain your sweet poise. Keep the graceful faith.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “There are no green thumbs or black thumbs,” wrote horticulturalist Henry Mitchell in a message you were destined to hear at this exact moment.“There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who get on with the high defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way.’ You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners.” Happy Defiance Time to you, Aquarius! In the coming weeks, I hope you will express the most determined and disciplined fertility ever!

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Life is inviting you to decode riddles about togetherness that could boost your emotional intelligence and earn you the right to enjoy lyrical new expressions of intimacy. Will you accept the invitation? Are you willing to transcend your habitual responses for the sake of your growthinducing relationships? Are you interested in developing a greater capacity for collaboration and synergy?

Would you be open to making a vulnerable fool of yourself if it helped your important alliances to fulfill their dormant potential? Be brave and empathetic, Sagittarius. Be creative and humble and affectionate.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I believe it may be the right time to tinker with or repair a foundation; to dig down to the bottom of an old resource and consider transforming it at its roots. Why? After all this time, that foundation or resource needs your fresh attention. It could be lacking a nutrient that has gradually disappeared. Maybe it would flourish better if it got the benefit of the wisdom you have gained since it first became useful for you. Only you have the power to discern the real reasons, Pisces — and they may not be immediately apparent. Be tender and patient and candid as you explore.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Attention, smart shoppers! Here’s a special spring fling offer! For a limited time only, you can get five cutesy oracles for the price of one!

And you don’t have to pay a penny unless they all come true! Check ’em out! Oracle #1: Should you wait patiently until all the conditions are absolutely perfect?

No! Success comes from loving the mess. Oracle #2: Don’t try to stop a sideshow you’re opposed to. Stage a bigger, better show that overwhelms it. Oracle #3: Please, master, don’t be a slave to the things you control. Oracle #4: Unto your own self be true? Yes! Unto your own hype be true? No! Oracle #5: The tortoise will beat the hare as long as the tortoise doesn’t envy or try to emulate the hare.

(July 23-Aug. 22): You’re being invited to boost your commitment to life and become a more vivid version of yourself. If you refuse the invitation, it will later return as a challenge. If you avoid that challenge, it will eventually circle back around to you as a demand.

So I encourage you to respond now, while it’s still an invitation. To gather the information you’ll need, ask yourself these questions: What types of self-development are you “saving for later”? Are you harboring any mediocre goals or desires that dampen your lust for life? Do you tone down or hold back your ambitions for fear they would hurt or offend people you care about?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Generation Kill is an HBO miniseries based on the experiences of a reporter embedded with American Marines fighting in Iraq. Early on, before the troops have been exposed to any serious combat, they’re overflowing with trash talk. A commanding officer scolds them: “Gentlemen, from now on we’re going to have to earn our stories.” Although you are in a much less volatile situation right now, Gemini, my advice to you is the same: In the coming weeks, you’ll have to earn your stories. You can’t afford to talk big unless you’re geared up to act big, too. You shouldn’t make promises and entertain dares and issue challenges unless you’re fully prepared to be a hero.

Now here’s my prophecy: I think you will be a hero.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Dear Dream Doctor: I dreamed that a crowd of people had decided to break through a locked door using a long, thick wooden plank as a battering ram. The only problem was, I was lying on top of the plank, half-asleep. By the time I realized what was up, the agitated crowd was already at work smashing at the door. Luckily for me, it went well. The door got bashed in and I wasn’t hurt. What does my dream mean? —Nervous Virgo.” Dear Virgo: Here’s my interpretation: It’s time to knock down a barrier, but you’re not convinced you’re ready or can do it all by yourself. Luckily, there are forces in your life that are conspiring to help make sure you do it.

It is now forty years later and I will be closing my current clinic, The Rook Family Tree Chiropractic Clinic “Helping to Grow Healthy Families” on Independence Day 2017. I have loved every minute of it and would do it all over again if given the choice to turn back time.

I encourage our patients to come by the clinic for their farewell adjustments. All health and financial information of patients will be properly protected and passed on to our referral of fine local Chiropractors. ‑ Remember ‑ All healing comes from the Innate Intelligence within. The body knows how to be well and gravitates to balance and homeostasis. It is Natural Law that water flows downhill, that night is followed by day and that healing currents glow when allowed to flow. It has always been, is now and forever will be.

Yours in Health and Wealth, Thomas W Rook D.C.
