Sears Out; Amazon In?

ometime this past Sunday, the plug was officially pulled on the Sears department store that had anchored Santa Barbara’s La Cumbre Plaza since it opened for business in 1967. Small clusters of customers showed up and tugged on the front doors but, finding them locked, walked away. Everything that could be sold on the first floor already had been sold — some for discount rates as steep as 90 percent. Sears’s days in Santa Barbara had been clearly numbered since last fall, when the corporate chain announced bankruptcy and said massive liquidations were on the horizon. Even so, the timing was telling. For decades, Sears had functioned as the Amazon.com of its time—the iconic Sears catalog offering landlocked consumers of rural America a passport to mail-order shopping. The store on La Cumbre Road has folded just as Amazon is preparing to take over the State Street property long occupied by Saks Fifth Avenue. Although no details of that transaction are “officially” known, real estate agents claim that an AI (artificial intelligence) subsidiary owned by Amazon will populate most of the building with 250300 workers; the bottom 5,000 square feet will reportedly become an Amazon outlet of some sort.

The Cearnal Collective, on behalf of the building owner—1001 State Street Partners, LLC, which is a subsidiary of Woodridge Capital Partners, LLC, the company that owns the Hotel Californian—has received both design-review and building-plancheck approvals. Architect Brian Cearnal said they’ll be adding large windows along the second floor “to create an exciting and light-filled workspace up there,” which should be completed by June 1. The tenant, Cearnal said, would then begin interior improvements. That will take at least three to four months. Ideally, he said, the tenant will move in by October 2019. The loss of Sears creates yet another gaping hole in Santa Barbara’s porous retail scene; even real estate professionals don’t pretend to know what happens next. At a time when market forces favor smaller retail operations, Sears offers a vast and unwieldy 147,000 square feet of rentable space. Complicating matters further, the ground underneath Sears is owned by a local family-based consortium of deed-holders; four different ownership groups own the rest of the mall. The land itself is zoned to allow high-density housing, but whether that’s a real possibility or merely a hypothetical dream remains to be seen. —Tyler Hayden and Nick Welsh

Twelve Apply for District 6 Vacancy

regg Hart left such big shoes to fill on the Santa Barbara City Council that no fewer than 12 applicants have filed paperwork seeking the council’s appointment to replace him on the dais. Hart was elected to the county supervisors in November with nearly four years left on his term. The council is scheduled to name a temporary replacement in two weeks. Voters will decide in November his permanent successor. Of the 12, only one — Grant House — has served on the council before. The others bring with them a rich and varied range of professional and political experiences. Gina Fischer works for 3rd District County Supervisor Joan Hartmann and has been active in Democratic Party field operations; Scott Wenz of Cars Are Basic has been a vocal critic of alternative transportation strategies that seek to de-emphasize the primacy of the automobile; Mark Whitehurst publishes Santa Barbara’s Voice Magazine; Bonnie Raisin, a longtime conservative activist associated with Republican causes, has run before and has a record of speaking before the

council dating back nearly 30 years; Connie Speight, a Realtor, has worked with the Rape Crisis Center and done elephant rescue work with the zoo; Brittany Heaton has a senior position with County Public Works and chairs the Neighborhood Advisory Council; Matthew Nehmer is executive director of the Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law; Julia Lara is a program director with the Foodbank and serves on the Behavioral Wellness Commission; Gabriel Escobedo works for UCSB as intramural coordinator; Meghan Harmon is an attorney; and Kate Carter founded LifeChronicles, a video production service that focuses on people in their later years. The council has scheduled a special evening session to hear presentations from the applicants on February 5; the appointment has been scheduled for the following week. Four votes are necessary. The appointment lasts only one year. Voters will select a permanent replacement during the November election in which three other council seats are up for grabs. —Nick Welsh

Offshore Oil: The Long Goodbye

Venoco walked away. Now they’re leaving us and other oil companies to clean up their mess. — Linda Krop, Environmental Defense Center “There are seeps along that stretch of coast that may become more active as we plug and abandon leaking wells,” Pemberton said. “We are committed to doing our best to ensure that oil on the beach is not coming from a legacy well.” In Goleta, the two wells on Haskell’s Beach near the Ritz-Carlton Bacara are remnants of the Ellwood Oil Field from the 1930s, before drilling at the water’s edge was banned. After these wells are plugged, Exxon will remove the rusting rectangular caissons around the wellheads. “The day they actually start demoing down the caisson walls is going to be a big day for celebration for this community and beyond,” said Wells, Goleta’s planning manager. “These wells are right in the surf zone, and we saw what happened in Summerland.”

the onshore plant and Platform Holly at a cost of $1.2 million per month so that Exxon can safely plug the platform wells. The cost over three years may be $83 million. That’s equivalent to half the $160 million in revenues from royalties and rents that Venoco generated for the state at Platform Holly. Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte is hoping her city will someday be able to create a park on the four acres where the former Venoco plant stands, a stone’s throw from Haskell’s Beach. “That’s the goal,” Perotte said. “It would be the city’s first park on the beach. We all want that facility to be gone.”

A 19TH-CENTURY BILL COMES DUE

Just up the coast in Summerland, no oil company can be held liable for the offshore legacy wells that are leaking onto the beach. The wildcatters that stampeded the area in the late 1890s are long gone. In a kind of gold rush for oil, they erected the first offshore oil development in the United States —14 wooden drilling piers and 400 shallow wells —and abandoned the mess after a big storm in 1902. In a 2018 report to the Legislature, State Lands estimates there are 200 “high-priority legacy oil and gas wells that could, depending on their condition, leak oil into the marine environment …” Of these, 192 are off Summerland and eight are off Goleta, near Haskell’s Beach.

beach. It kills me that it’s been going on for such a long time.” Last year, at a cost of $1.2 million, State Lands plugged a legacy well that was spewing globs of black oil onto the sand. Because of the complexities, it may be possible to work on only one well per year, said Sheri Pemberton, a spokesperson for the agency. State Lands also needs to conduct a geophysical study off Summerland Beach, she said.

PASSING THE BUCK

According to a January 10 State Lands report to the State Legislature, Exxon expects to spend as much as $350 million to plug 32 wells and remove Platform Holly. Plugging the offshore wells, one at a time, will take up to three years, and the platform cannot be removed until that work is finished. Exxon sold Platform Holly to Venoco Inc. in 1997. But in 2017, two years after the Refugio Oil Spill, Venoco declared bankruptcy and quitclaimed its offshore leases to the state, leaving behind a meager $22 million bond for decommissioning. A break in the Plains All American Pipeline, which transported Venoco’s crude oil to refineries, had caused the spill, dumping 140,000 gallons of crude into the ocean at Refugio Beach. The pipeline remains shut down. “Venoco walked away,” said Linda Krop, chief counsel at the Environmental Defense Center, a Santa Barbara–based nonprofit group. “Now they’re leaving us and other oil companies to clean up their mess.” Onshore, Exxon contends it is not liable for removing Venoco’s former oil and gas processing plant at Haskell’s Beach. Negotiations are ongoing; the state’s position is that the company has the responsibility to assume nearly all the costs related to the decommissioning work. But taxpayers are already shouldering some of the expense. Under an agreement with the bankruptcy court, the report to the Legislature says, State Lands is operating

PUT A CAP ON IT: Summerland’s Becker Wells gets plugged after a century of leaks.

In 2017, the Legislature authorized $20 million through 2028 to identify and plug legacy wells and remove coastal hazards, including old steel pilings and jetties. “We may not ever be able to cap all of the legacy wells,” State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, who authored the legislation, said last week. “They’re all inexcusable, but some are creating greater problems close to shore. The bill for the last hundred years is finally coming due, and it is sadly not being paid by those who have defiled the landscape, the seascape, and the coast. It will be paid by n taxpayers.”

For just under two hours last Thursday, Santa Barbara City College’s board meeting remained largely silent as students protested against the return of Vice President of Business Services Lyndsay Maas to campus. Maas was placed on unpaid leave in late November for using a racial slur during a gender and equity meeting. Students stood directly behind boardmembers, holding signs and occasionally stomping. Student Tiani Mora, a member of the Black Student Union, said during the public comment period: “I think it’s pretty clear that all of you are a little bit uncomfortable. What we’re doing today is letting you know. … You make us feel uncomfortable every single day. … We are silent-protesting because you silence us.”

The California State Lands Commission is in the finishing stages of surveying the high-tide line along the Hollister Ranch’s eight-and-a-halfmile beachfront. Started in early December, the survey aims to better define state-owned tidelands — shoreline below the mean hightide line — as state agencies revisit a longmothballed 1982 public-access plan for Hollister Ranch beaches.

ENVIRONMENT The stars of the environmental organizations came out Sunday afternoon to mark the anniversary of the granddaddy oil spill of them all. Michael Brune of the Sierra Club and Annie Leonard of Greenpeace met with leaders of Santa Barbara’s enviro stalwarts — the Community Environmental Council and the Environmental Defense Center — both of which were formed by citizens appalled by the dark devastation caused by the 1969 Union Oil Spill. The event was notable for vows to carry on the fight, this time in terms of climate change. On the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, Congressmember Salud Carbajal and Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson introduced legislation to prevent future spills off the California coast. Carbajal introduced HR 279 to ban future offshore oil and gas leasing in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf off the California coast. Jackson’s Senate Bill 169 strengthens pipeline safety requirements.

Students protest at SBCC’s Thursday board meeting.

LAW & DISORDER Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office deputies have now used naloxone hydrochloride, more commonly known by the brand name Narcan, 16 times since April 2017, when the program began, to save the lives of people overdosing on opioids. The last instance was shortly before 11 p.m. on 1/25 when deputies responded to a 22-year-old man reportedly overdosing at a sober living home in Goleta. They administered the Narcan nasal spray, which blocks the life-threatening effects of opioid overdose, including slowed breathing or loss of consciousness, and the man’s vital signs improved enough for him to be transported to Cottage Hospital for further treatment. Wells Fargo lost its ability to sell insurance in early January after the California Department of Insurance discovered the bank had placed 1,500 of its customers in policies without their consent or knowledge. Of those, 21 were in Santa Barbara County. After the department threatened to revoke the bank’s insurance licenses over the improper sales, the bank agreed to a $10 million settlement, though it did not admit guilt. Between 2008 and 2016, the Department of Insurance charged, Wells employees issued renters and life insurance policies when they had no license to do so. In some instances, Wells employees had told customers to fill out policy applications merely to get a quote. In reality, they later submitted the application to insurers, which n began to charge the customers.

The Battle of the Buzz: Biting Dogs Don’t Bark

SNIFF TEST: People offended by the aroma of

fresh chicken manure have been advised for centuries not to move to the country. For people living in and around Carpinteria, however, the problem is the exact opposite. In this case, we’re talking cannabis, not chicken poop. I have a friend who lives in downtown Carpinteria, just spitting distance from The Spot. Depending on how winds blow, she says, the smell can get brutal. Sometimes she’d swear someone was lighting up in her living room. Nevertheless, my friend takes pains not to take sides. She runs a small business; cannabis growers pay cash. Others in Carp, however, are seeing red over all the green. They’ve just created a new “Concerned Citizens” organization to vent their rage. They’re not so easily dismissed as the “just-sayno” pot puritans of a few years ago. This new crew seems to have a functioning sense of humor. They are passing out old-fashioned wooden clothespins inscribed with the words “Concerned Citizens.” It’s cute. This week, Carpinteria’s clothespin brigade teamed up with like-minded agitators from the Santa Ynez Valley, wine growers mostly, upset by the explosion of cannabis-infused hoop houses there, and stormed the county supervisors chambers. The only things missing were rakes and torches. It was the first round in what threatens to become a very protracted Battle of The Buzz.

Grapes in one corner, bud in the other. In the Valley, cannabis has followed pinot. Among Santa Barbara’s industries that create semi-altered consciousness, the competition for workers and warehouse space has grown intense. When bud’s in bloom—right before harvest—the aromatics of cannabis clash violently with the un-intruded needs of tasting rooms. A year ago, only chemists knew how to pronounce the word “terpenes,” the compounds giving cannabis its uniquely pungent smell; now, we’ve all become experts. (It remains unclear how well the expensive odor-control systems — installed by some operators — actually work.) This week, the supervisors looked at various ways to tweak the county’s cannabis ordinance, which they passed less than a year ago in hopes of midwifing into existence a new legalized industry so dripping with cash that no one would talk about oil revenues ever again. The conversation started this week remains far from over. In small town Carp — where everyone knows way too much about everybody else— things could get especially nasty. Both sides boast people who hark back to the days when the Chumash waterproofed their tomols with tar gouged from Carpinteria’s asphalt pits. Or close enough. Emerging as a semi-reluctant Joan of Arc in the anti-cannabis crusade is Maureen Foley, a young mom who lives on Foothill Road with her Irish novelist husband and young daughter. They sell their jams at the farmers’ market.

They raise avocados. She works for the Unitarian Society; he teaches high school English. She serves on the school board, where she’s

challenged donations made by the cannabis industry, objecting that Carpinteria is the only

district in the state to accept such donations. Foley is one of the Bailards, after whom Carpinteria’s Bailard Avenue is named. They moved to the valley in 1863 and never found a good enough reason to leave. Foley lives in an avocado-green house her family built in the 1930s. She happens to live next door to a property owned by Rene Van Wingerden, he of the operatically sprawling Van Wingerden clan who moved en masse from Holland to Carpinteria in the 1960s, where they all but singlehandedly created Carpinteria’s greenhouse flower industry. For 19 years, Rene’s wife, June, served on the

Carpinteria water board. When the cut-flower biz went kaput a few years ago, the Van Wingerdens—rock-ribbed Republicans though they are—found themselves embracing the new cannabis industry with a convert’s zeal. As Foley—who once worked at the Independent as an editor—tells it, she repeatedly asked Rene whether he intended to convert his next-door orchard into a cannabis operation. She claims he repeatedly said no. Then one day the chainsaws showed up and wiped out all of Rene’s avocado trees, eliminating the canopy her family had long enjoyed. Then came the security guards. Then the MarBorg trucks—at least once a week — to suck up the porta-potty slop generated by Rene’s workers. A couple

of sketchy-looking characters mistakenly showed up, Foley said, looking for work at “the pot farm,” and occasionally delivery trucks mistakenly pull into her driveway, bearing things meant for next door. Last November, one truck showed up to deliver a gun safe, she said. She flipped her lid. “I didn’t feel safe,” she said. The invoice indicated the delivery was destined for a company run by Ivor Van Wingerden, Rene’s son, and a guy named Kyle Hardy, a cannabis operator out of Nipomo. Hardy and Van Wingerden have teamed up with a Chicago-based cannabis company, Cresco Labs, which is so big that its stock is traded on the Canadian Securities and Exchange Commission. Foley discovered she wasn’t living in Kansas anymore. Some in Carpinteria would say she never did. Carpinteria, they contend, should not be forced to remain in the amber goo of Foley’s past. Times change. I called Rene; he told me someone would call back. They haven’t yet. Foley acknowledged Rene had tried to reach out to her. “I basically chewed him a new one,” she said. Cresco Labs has also contacted Foley, but she has yet to respond. Company representatives dispute a gun safe was ever delivered, insisting it was a fireproof file cabinet instead. They acknowledge that the words “gun safe” are part of the manufacturer’s name. It was an understandable misinterpretation, they say, but erroneous. Foley says both were delivered. It ain’t over but the shouting. And that’s just — Nick Welsh beginning.

Mark Hawtrey, lover of the sea, man of faith, adoring husband, father and grandfather passed away at home on Wednesday January 16th, 2019. Mark surfed his beloved point breaks at Hollister Ranch for 40 years. His journeys in the tidepools of the Gaviota Coast became a part of who he was, absorbing as much of the ocean as he could. Mark Charles Hawtrey was born on March 26th, 1954. He lived in San Diego as a child and moved to Santa Barbara in 1972. After graduating from UCSB with a degree in Economics he was hired by ExxonMobil to work as a plant operator. Popco eventually took over the Las Flores Canyon facility and Mark stayed on until his retirement in 2015. Mark will be missed by an abundance of friends from many parts of the community of Santa Barbara. His surfing partners, yoga friends, members of his church, coworkers at Popco, and the staff at Cottage Hospital Cancer Center knew Mark as a man who lived life to the fullest. Mark impacted the lives of the people around him as he shared his deep gratitude, joy and love of life. Mark is survived by his deeply devoted and loving wife Suzanne. Mark is also survived by his children Shannon and Shaun by former wife Sandy and the love of his life granddaughter Kenna. He is also survived by his brothers Bruce (Stephanie) and Eric (Polin) and sister Jill (Adaire). Most dear to his heart are Doug and Kirby the lab, who meant the world to Mark. Please join us in a celebration of his life on Friday February 15th, 2019 at 1:00 pm at Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara.

Bill Jackson, (Doc), a native Santa Barbarian, journeyed to heaven peacefully in his sleep on January 3, 2019. He was 95.

Loving father to Janette (Jan) Jackson, Caroline Merrick, David Jackson, Bob Jackson and step-children Debbie Dunn, Bryan Dunn and Michael Dunn, grandfather to nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren. He loved his family very much. As a veteran of the Air force, he returned to Santa Barbara to practice dentistry for many years. His hobbies included power boating, deep sea fishing, poker, collecting Model T cars, reading, growing cymbidium orchids and tomatoes, traveling the world with his wife Mary and countless friends, and entertaining family and friends at his beautiful home. He and Mary were members of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, Los Fiesteros Dance Club, and Santa Barbara Elks. He enjoyed a large and active life to the fullest, and on his journey to heaven, skidded in sideways screaming, “Wow! What a ride!” Bill's memory will remain in our hearts forever and we're happy he is reunited with his wife of 50 years, Mary Jackson.

Michael D. Pearl, 76, passed away on Monday, January 21, 2019 after an 18-month battle with prostate cancer. He was born on October 28, 1942 to Dugan H. and Cordelia Antoinette (Vokoun) Pearl in Oakland, California; then raised in Coquille, Oregon. After Mike graduated from Coquille High School in 1961, he attended Oregon State University where he played baseball. Baseball was a lifelong passion for Mike, leading him to coach his son, Joey from t-ball through varsity at Bishop Garcia Diego High School. He continued to coach both baseball and football at Bishop long after Joey graduated. Additionally, he was one of the founders and a Hall-ofFame inductee of the Santa Barbara Foresters, a semi-professional summer baseball league. Mike truly enjoyed coaching, mentoring youth, and watching them go on to succeed. In 1965, Mike enlisted in the Army and served overseas. After his service, while in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, he met his wife, Gail. They were married in 1974 in Illinois, and then traveled across the United States in their VW Camper, eventually settling in Santa Barbara. For over fifteen years, Mike owned and managed local gas stations for World Oil Company. He also managed properties for Westpac Shelter Corporation. In 1993, he joined his wife, Gail in real estate where they established themselves as the successful duo, “Pearl & Pearl”. Mike not only took pride in their business, but he truly valued the friendships he developed and helping others fulfill their dreams. Mike was an avid golfer and fisherman. He enjoyed spending time in his garden, tending the BBQ, reading and hanging out with his grandkids. Mike is survived by his wife of 44 years, Gail (Lee) Pearl; his son, Joseph Pearl and his wife, Domenica; three grandchildren, Savina, Audrey, and Micah Pearl; brother Matthew and his partner, David

Martha Lou Harper, age 89, passed away on January 22, 2019 Martha was born October 28, 1929 in Beggs, Oklahoma to the late Lannie Raymond Ruddick and Osha Edna Pinkston. She was also preceded in death by husbands Robert Carl Gross and Ira Lee Harper, son, Steven Carl Gross, and sisters Loreta Hilliard and Norma Jean Biscarro. Martha graduated from Santa Maria High School and soon after, married and started a family. In the early 1950’s the family moved to Santa Barbara, California. In addition to raising a family of four, she was an employee of Santa Barbara City Schools. She worked as a teacher’s aide at Harding Elementary School and also worked in the audio/visual department at La Cumbre Junior High School. Martha was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and aunt. She had a strong love for family, friends, and home. She was an excellent cook and she delighted in preparing meals for her family, especially during the holidays. Martha is survived by two daughters, Kathy Gross Jones of Raleigh North Carolina and Brenda Gross Jehle of Ojai, California, son, Bill Gross of Ventura, California, four granddaughters, and two great-granddaughters. A Celebration of Life service was held on Tuesday, January 29 at 10:00 am at Emanuel Lutheran Church, 3721 Modoc Road, Santa Barbara, California. A graveside service followed at 2:30 pm at the Santa Maria Cemetery, 1501 S. College Drive, Santa Maria, California. Special thanks to Valle Verde for the excellent care they have provided to Martha over the past few years. Also, thanks and appreciation to Assisted Hospice Care for the wonderful support and care they provided to Martha. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

In Memoriam

Michael Hathaway 1941-2018

Cofounder of the News & Review

a vagabond. Born on the eve of World War II, he grew up on a majestic Richard Neutra–designed estate in Ojai, then lived from age 17 until his death last week at 77 mostly in Santa Barbara — but also, for variety’s sake, in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Cambridge, Berlin, Hydra, Prague, and Kathmandu. After decades working as an environmental, anti-war, and gay rights activist, he focused in his final years on publishing several books, the last in 2018, a kaleidoscopic memoir he hoped “distilled,” he said, “the possible happiness of life.” The almost gravitational pull of Michael’s loving spirit, deep intelligence, and unstinting idealism — which so memorably so often quickly enveloped so many of the people he met — had its taproots in his mystical, German immigrant mother, his loving and erudite American diplomat grandparents, and his supremely unusual early schooling. His mother and stepfather chose to send Michael to Ojai’s Happy Valley School, an extraordinary experiment (certainly by 1950s standards) in “alternative education,” built around the teachings of Annie Besant, a founder of Theosophy, as well as Krishnamurti, Aldous Huxley, and potter Beato Wood, all prominent figures at the school. Happy Valley (now the Besant Hill School) in those Eisenhower years eclectically wed a rigorous curriculum to a thirsty, Eastern-spiritualist-inspired search for joyful encounters with the divine. The singularity of Michael’s early education served him well, though: Admitted to Stanford, he excelled at Russian language, culture, politics, and history (while also rowing varsity crew), went on to Harvard for graduate work, and then won prestigious fellowships to study at the Free University of Berlin as well as then-Communist Prague’s ancient Charles University. By his early twenties, Michael was master of seven languages and their cultures, an achievement that seemed to predict a life of teaching and writing — until the Vietnam War in 1967 led him away from Harvard to the peace movement, and soon afterward on to the national staff of Eugene McCarthy’s 1968 upstart presidential bid. Then in quick succession, McCarthy’s defeat, Michael’s painful wounding during the police riots at Chicago’s Democratic Convention, and Richard Nixon’s election pushed him on in new directions. For a time he morphed, he later recalled, into “a longhaired, VW-van-living hippie” — until, running out of money, he moved to Santa Barbara, where, through friends, he found work at the old Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, Robert Maynard Hutchins’s legendary liberal think tank, where he found himself mixing with Nobel laureates, heads of state, poets, anarchists, philanthropists, titans, and Hollywood legends. His sojourn at what a later wag dubbed a “proto-Davoson-the-beach” ended with his vacation visit to the magically beautiful Greek island of Hydra, where young Michael realized that the $2,000 he’d by then saved could buy the ruins of a handsome 400-year-old house on Hydra’s rocky hillside. For the next two years, he painstakingly restored the ruin with the help of his friend Yorgo and a pair of donkeys that quite grudgingly portered building supplies up the steep path from the port below. With the restoration complete, Yorgo suddenly prompted a new adventure by announcing that he was moving to Kathmandu. Michael, caught off balance but primed by Happy Valley and his mother’s mystical enthusiasms, quickly agreed to follow — with life-challenging results. “Besides wondrous experiences and shedding many illu-

high praise from the likes of Marshall McLuhan, Buckminster Fuller, Jerry Brown, and several brave members of Congress — and ended up on The Today Show, touted by an enthusiastic (but not-quite-comprehending) Gene Shalit. As the calendar’s sales took off, Michael, always restless, turned to the work of helping reshape Santa Barbara’s then-much-more-conservative political landscape. Most memorably, he cofounded the Santa Barbara News & Review, the Independent’s feisty predecessor, where he wrote, edited, designed, pasted up, and delivered the paper. By the late 1970s, though, the vagabond spirit had caught up with him again, this time tugging him north to San Francisco and two decades as an environmental activist. Working first with his beloved friend David Brower at Friends of the Earth, he soon joined Brower in cofounding Earth Island Institute, which is wildly successful today and sponsors nearly 80 different projects all over the world, supported by 100-plus staffers and multimillion-dollar budgets. In the mid-’80s, vagabond Michael moved once again — this time to the Russian River, an hour north of San Francisco, where he spent a rich decade writing, working in the renowned Occidental Gardens, hiking, making music and art, gardening, and hunting wild mushrooms. His love of cooking, he would later proudly tell friends, “reached entirely new levels thanks to West Sonoma’s farms and gardens — some of America’s most wondrous.” In the early 1990s, he returned for a final time to Santa Barbara — to help care for his mother. With her death at 96 as the century ended, he committed himself to crafting a connected series of memoirs whose central purpose was, in his words, “to show the possible happiness and satisfaction of life.” Entering middle age, he admitted recently, he sometimes briefly felt a measure of despair “as Cheney and Bush revealed themselves — as ever more astonishingly dangerous, destructive, and dishonest, more and more threatening to democracy, the world order, the environment, social justice, and more.” The Obama years restored a (qualified) measure of hope, which allowed him to rebalance his activism with more time for writing. Last year, after a decade of writing and rewriting, he completed and published his nearly 600-page The Possible Happiness of Life XXXXX, a majestic tour d’horizon not just of his kaleidoscopic life but the world in which he’d lived it, cross-cut by encounters with Aldous Huxley and Alan Watts, the mind-altering possibilities of both meditation and love-making, the centrality above all of the beauty and kindness and courage he unwaveringly believed exists in all of us (independent.com/hathaway). Shortly before Christmas last month, Michael flew to Seattle, and then ferried over to Vachon Island to spend the holiday with friends. Heading back a week later to California, he went down to the island’s ferry dock — where suddenly his chest constricted in pain. He called his friends to ask if he could come back for the night. Ten minutes later, they were driving him back to their home, where he said he was feeling better. They settled him in a big chair in front of their fireplace and fixed him a cup of tea. He took a sip, again said he was feeling better, then put the cup down — and as his eyes closed softly, his head rested forward. He was pronounced dead by paramedics shortly thereafter. A Santa Barbara memorial service will be announced shortly. DEBRA HATHAWAY

Inspired by his friend Ralph Nader and by the thousands of then-emerging social, political, and spiritual activists, he wrote and published a gorgeous, hand-illustrated, and intensely iconoclastic Calendar of Contemporary Saints, a book fully expressive of the eclectic early ’70s, that won him

Word Evokes Historic Hurt

anta Barbara City College has had many issues arise regarding constituents’ inequities in its history. This year has been especially difficult for many reasons: Women have been targeted and retaliated against on campus for filing Title IX reports. Black students, staff, and faculty continue to be harassed and discriminated against, impacting their retention and ability to succeed. On Wednesday, November 14, 2018, a high-level administrator, Lyndsay Maas, used the unabbreviated n-word at a meeting that had revealed several students were being called the word in the library and throughout campus. Rather than stopping to acknowledge her egregious use of such a harmful word, Maas continued to speak. When a faculty member of color stopped her to address the harm caused by the use of this racial slur, Maas expressed embarrassment and began to leave the room. Members of the workgroup asked her to stay to discuss the issue, but she chose to leave. Several members of the workgroup, which included students, staff, faculty, and administrators, were deeply impacted by this experience. As of January 25, Maas is back on campus. Moreover, the irony is not lost that this administrative decision to allow her return was announced the day after the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and with Black History Month approaching. We want to make clear that our concerns are much bigger than Lyndsay Maas. Her return is a symptom of the systemic racism on SBCC’s campus and the disenfranchisement of people on its margins. We encourage you to watch the board meetings, speak with those closest to the pain, and consider the following: Who has power in this situation? What privileges (race, gender, class, etc.) are at play? Who shares a similar background to the majority of those who will adjudicate the situation (e.g., the Board, — Chelsea Lancaster, Administration, etc.)?

onald Trump is like a monkey: The higher he climbs, the more revolting are the parts he exposes. The good news is that Trump’s days are coming to an end. He will be out by this summer. His strong suit has always been the systematic organization of American hatreds. Congressional oversight and the Mueller investigation, however, will deflect these xenophobic defenses. Most likely, he will make a deal to resign in exchange for protecting himself and his family from prison. This, then, brings us to the next critical issue facing our Republic: getting rid of the 48th Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence. Our vice president was not only a willing enabler of treason against our country, but he continually spoke before public gatherings, willfully repeating his master’s lies. A medieval adage sums up Pence’s predicament: “He who sups with the devil had better have a long spoon.” Leaving Pence to guide our ship of state would be an obscenity. It would reward one of the most effective spokesmen for the Benedict Arnold of our day. Therefore, all of us who have worked so hard to stem the tide of Trump’s evil poison must work just as hard to get rid of his cohorts, and that begins with the — David Obst, S.B. removal of Michael Pence!

EVERYONE’S GONE TO THE

MOVIES

hirty-four years ago, when Phyllis de Picciotto met with city officials and Metro Theatre owners Bruce and David Corwin about launching an annual film festival, I imagine all parties thought, “This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship” (Casablanca, Casablanca, 1942). And so it has been. You might even say Casablanca it’s “the stuff that dreams are made of” (The Maltese Falcon, 1941). Helmed by Executive Director Roger Durling since 2002, the wildly successful Santa Barbara International Film Festival is an 11-day gala is that infuses State Street with the wonders of all things cinematic — from actor tributes to educational seminars to panel discussions to heaps of films. On Wednesday, January 30, folks can shout, “They’re here!” (Poltergeist, Poltergeist, 1982) as Poltergeist the festival kicks off with its opening-night film, Deep Dive: The Life and Times of Mike DeGruy. The next 11 days offer a Tilt-a-Whirl of fun, taking folks inside theaters for mind-expanding cinematic experiences that demonstrate that “where we’re going, we don’t need roads” (Back to the Future, 1985). And while the SBIFF may be particularly satisfying for die-hard cinephiles, who wait all year for the event that makes them squeak, “You complete me” ((Jerry Jerry Maguire Maguire,, 1996, and Ice Age: The Meltdown, 2006), the breadth and depth of offerings make certain there is something for everyone to enjoy. In this week’s Independent, we take a peek at some of the exciting upcoming fare.

It’s creepy throughout. Fly by Night (Fei chang dao): Those seeking a crime-scene thrill ride through the backstreets of Kuala Lumpur will enjoy this Malaysian one-last-heist film, which also reveals the country’s multi-ethnic, class-delineated culture. Murderous Trance aka The Guardian Angel: A Danish thriller that’s based on a true story and all in English, this is a hypnotic portrayal of a post-World War II crime that’s tied to a hypnotic Svengali figure. The detective in charge must fight against the will of his supervisors and the understandings of science to get to the truth amidst a period-perfect setting. Guest Artist: This very theatrical film stars Jeff Daniels, who first wrote and produced it as a play, as a once-great, now-drunk playwright who’s invited to a small theater in Michigan only to disappoint the young man who eagerly awaits his arrival. My Own Good (Il bene mio): When an earthquake leaves a town devastated, only one man remains, too stubborn and stuck in the tragic past to move down into the larger city. This is a film about his struggles and a mysterious visitor, culminating in community catharsis. Loopers: The Caddie’s Long Walk: Who knew that a documentary about golf caddies — those guys who carry bags for amateurs and pros alike —could be so compelling? This weaves history with personality in telling a handful of specifically amazing golfercaddie pairings, and is great even for those who hate golf. FILMS TO SEE CONTINUED ON P. 27 ¢

Emma Peeters

For Belgium filmmaker Nicole Palo, the subject of aging and expectations are also at the center of her latest feature film, Emma Peeters, in which a young Parisian woman’s perceived inadequacies in her career and relationships lead her to the decision to commit suicide on her 35th birthday. “Emma Peeters, I must admit, is very close to my personality,” said Palo. “I summed up all my flaws and had fun giving her a hard time.” Through brilliantly dark humor and cinematic shots of some of the City of Lights’s most swoon-worthy neighborhoods, Emma befriends a quirky funeral home director and begins to take stock of all that life — and she — has to offer. “Suicide is to be taken for its symbolic meaning,” explained Palo. “Sometimes you have to kill a poor self-image to discover who you really are and accept yourself as you are.” In Aquí y ahora, Costa Rican filmmaker Paz León swirls around similar themes of

Survey the breadth and scope of this year’s female-driven festival selections, and it’s hard to miss the benefits of more voices at the table. From the painfully arresting life of a child bride in 19th-century Vietnam (The Third Wife) to the infectious mania of Tour de France fans (Holy Holy Tour Tour) or a genderbending Mexican wrestler (Cassandro the Exotico!), the themes and cultural overtones of each of the 68 films are as varied as the women who directed them — not to mention the characters themselves. “I think the problem of the image of women in films comes more from commercial cinema, which portray archetypes like the femme fatale, the servile mother, or the sexy girl with nothing in the brain,” said Palo. And she has a point. The women in Carmen y Lola, I Used to Be Normal, and Tell It to the Bees are visually stunning, but they’re more interested in grappling with their own sexual identities than seducing the viewer. And the mothers I encountered in some of these films? They also happen to be whistleblowers (Inside Lehman Brothers), environmentalists (Silent Forests), and humanitarian workers (Laila at the Bridge). Gallus drives the point home: “Cinema has the power to reflect and reveal society in a way that really resonates with people. Women’s stories are no doubt a fundamenn tal part of that conversation.”

For the eighth year in a row, SBIFF is showcasing films about food and drink in the Screen Cuisine sidebar. The 12-movie menu in 2019 is a mix of documentary, narrative, and short films, from examining the challenges faced by real-life female chef-owners to watching a hot-headed fictional chef devolve in a blaze of vainglory to a mysterious saga surrounding the death of an Italian prosecco producer. Here’s an alphabetical rundown.

The Biggest Little Farm: Using personal storytelling, great animation, beautiful nature filmmaking, and disaster drama, this multiyear doc tells the tale of a city-dwelling wildlife cameraman and a private chef who take over a dusty Moorpark property in hopes of building a traditional, nature-friendly farm with multiple crops and animals. Fighting against drought conditions, busted wells, hungry pests, and many naysayers, they turn Apricot Lane Farms into a viable place over many years, only to have it all threatened with wildfire. Despite the challenges, it’s a hopeful, inspirational film for all ages.

who’ve been financially and physically abusive to right-wing law enforcement and competing criminal interests. Each chapter shift clings to a cliffhanger moment, and just the scenes of nuns clipping kolas are worth the price of admission.

As Needed (Quanto basta): This is a great feel-good film for foodies. We start with an Italian chef who emerges from jail for his aggressive behavior and lands in a deferred-sentence program that involves teaching people with Asperger’s how to cook. One of the students is a super-tasting savant with the perfect palate who uses his skills to enter a famous cooking contest in Tuscany, forcing our reluctant and gruff protagonist to accompany him as a sponsor. Throw in a dash or two of romance and salt with melancholic mentoring, and it’s a solid trip to the movies, complete with culinary spice.

Breaking Habits: This doc is a compelling inside look at the Sisters of the Valley, a group of non-Catholic nuns in Merced, California, who grow and distribute cannabis for healing purposes. It’s a moving portrait of their controversial leader, Sister Kate, and the many enemies she meets along the way, from husbands

Harvest Season: Award-winning documentarian Bernardo Ruiz moves from covering attacks on journalists in Mexico (Reportero) to the Napa Valley, where he portrays the often-overshadowed lives of Latinos in the glitzy wine business. The deeply personal film traces a history from the Bracero program to modern-day success stories of immigrant workers turned vineyard owners, focusing on, with beautiful cinematography, the difficult choices that must be made with each passing vintage. The horrific fires of Broke 2017 also loom. The Heat: A Kitchen (R)evolution: The best documentary in the category, this unabashed film reveals, through intimate portraits of six chefs, how tough it is to run your own restaurant and how much more difficult that is for women, who are outnumbered and often overpowered in the male-dominated restaurant industry. With brash, honest, and shocking reflections of these globally respected chefs, who work in London, Boston, Toronto, New York City, and France, we learn of the steep climb they’ve endured to hit the top of the game, fighting against media bias, toxic work environments, and outright physical assault. It’s eye-opening but also entertaining, with plenty of food porn along the way. The Last Prosecco (Finché c’è prosecco c’è speranza): This is one of the better films in the whole festival, according to insiders. The fictional whodunit-type feature concerns the sudden death of a widely respected Italian count, who is famous for being an outspoken producer of natural organic prosecco in the stunning mountain villages north of Venice. As murders mount, a somewhat bumbling, slightly disheveled detective starts to piece the breadcrumbs together and learns about the count’s life and his own family along SCREEN CUISINE CONTINUED ON P. 29 ¢

FILMS TO FIND CONT’D FROM P. 23

Not Quite Adults (Tampoco tan grandes): From Argentina, this road-trip comedy follows a woman who is seeking to escape her forthcoming marriage and learns about the death of her estranged gay father, who she already thought was dead. Her ragtag team of her former lover, his suicidal sister, and her father’s lifelong lover must embark on a quest to deliver his ashes to the middle of nowhere.

WELCOMES THE 2019 FILM FESTIVAL PARTICIPANTS! SERVING FROM 11:00AM - 11:00PM

–

Peel: Starring Emile Hirsch as a somewhat slow, possibly autistic young adult who’s left all alone, this melancholy comedy follows Peel as a party-minded crew moves into his house and starts to open his eyes to the real world. There’s an amazing dance sequence that’s a must-see. Put Grandma in the Freezer ((Metti Metti la nonna in freezer freezer): ): This is an often-quite-hilarious black comedy from Italy about a woman who preserves her grandma’s corpse for tax purposes and the tax collector she starts to fall in love with. There’s flashes of Weekend at Bernie’s, but it’s much richer than that. The Young Fan (Il ragazzo più felice del mondo): This is a funny Italian film about filming a documentary about a supposedly real-life occurrence that concerns a cartoonist who is hell-bent on tracking down someone who sent letters to multiple artists many years ago. It traipses through multiple filmmaking styles and is an entertaining and inventive piece of moviemaking.

the way. It’s an excellent piece of positively populist, anti-corporate storytelling and a fun crime story throughout. Nose to Tail: The jerk chef isn’t a particularly new concept, but rarely has the archetype been portrayed so viscerally as in this feature film, which follows a troubled, up-against-thewall restaurateur as he fights to stay relevant and open in a world of food trucks and food bloggers. He’s had protégés jump ship, lease issues with the landlord, relationships stuck in workplace limbo, and the stereotypical problems associated with an all-consuming job. He’s not a likable fellow, but the foodie aspects of the film are on point, and for those who’ve worked in kitchens, the characters ring all too true. A Seed for Change: This DIY-style, autobiographical film follows a man from Greece as he leaves his advertising career amid the 2008 global recession and turns to a life tracking down heirloom plants and seeds. We travel throughout Europe and beyond as he gathers information about why ancient farming practices are much more resilient than so-called modernization and begins growing his own vegetables on the balcony of his Athens apartment. Virgin and Extra: The Land of Olive Oil (Jaén, virgen y extra): This is a must-see for any olive-oil enthusiast and worth a look for anyone who loves the connection between land and food. It’s a rather exhaustive meander through the regional production history of Jaen, where more than 60,000 olive trees grow, making it one of the world’s largest artificial forests and the so-called “lungs of Spain.” Starting from Roman history and running through more modern industrialization, the film follows the boutique-sized producers as they approach their annual competition to be named best in the region.

Shorts Opening the Earth: The Potato King: The potato is one of the planet’s most popular foods, and many forget that they all came from Peru and the surrounding Andes. This is a half-hour portrait of one man, known as the “Potato King,” and his family. As he keeps more than 300 different varieties of potatoes alive, his family and their mountain communities straddle the pull of the money-making modern world and the much-more-sustainable farming practices that their people have practiced for millennia. Salty Generations: This short doc focuses on well-known Santa Barbara mussel fisherman Bernard Friedman, a female-run NorCal seaweed farm, and the complex government policies regulating shellfish across California. Return: Native American Women Reclaim Foodways for Health and Spirit: This half-hour doc focuses on the efforts of Native Americans across the United States to reveal the nutritional benefits of indigenous foods and how embracing them can be both better for health and culturally empowering. It’s also a reminder of how colonization undermined traditional foods in favor of disease-causing Western cuisine. n

After failing to discover my passion through a decade of undergraduate studies in concert with military service, I realized that finding myself would require a major excavation of my life. I am thriving now at SBBTI-with new opportunities, a revived mindset, and renewed energy. SBBTI has empowered me to strip down to who I’m meant to be, unwinding free from the degrees and administrative positions that had imprisoned my mind, body and spirit. Thanks to SBBT, I feel confident to start over and begin to live the life that I’ve only ever imagined for myself.” - Brittani Hochstein

BY DESIGN: The components of comfort at Majorelle.

Majorelle Spa T

styles are fused well, thanks to the artistic sensibilities of top interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The design is particularly dazzling in the hotel’s spa, the Majorelle, where vibrant blue accent tones bounce off pristine white walls like reflections from an azure Mediterranean Sea. It’s an intimate space comprising four treatment rooms, men’s and women’s steam rooms/ changing areas, and a courtyard ringing a circular-columned waiting area. The spa has an appetizing menu including aromatherapy, skincare treatments, couples packages, and massages. I recently visited Majorelle and opted for the Relieve Muscle Aches and Pains signature experience — it was in all honesty the best massage I’ve ever had. My masseur, Anders, dug deep into my knotty muscles, breaking up fascia and relieving tight and sore tissue. After the 90-minute session, I emerged in a delightful fog of tranquility. A few days later, I spoke with Majorelle’s director, Emma Spencer, to learn about how this lovely spa came to be.

How many therapists do you have? In total, we have 15. And that’s including estheticians. … I wanted a core team because, energetically, I wanted to create a space that was safe and that was welcoming, and I was willing to take that extra step to get the right therapist for it. We have this beautiful, cultural sense here and we’ve been able to create that environment. I’ve worked in spas all my life, and I’ve worked with over 150 staff, and this is important to have a core group. I’m very proud of my team and we’re a little family.

Museum Begins Vertebrate

Preservation Project

he Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History has begun a six-month preservation effort for its Vertebrate Zoology collection. The project involves moving a 45,000-specimen collection from wooden conservation boxes to 37 metal conservation cabinets. The new containers prevent insect damage and acidic off-gassing present in the wooden boxes, which date to the 1960s. The critical renovations were made possible by a $73,000 grant from the California Cultural and Historical Endowment as well as donations from the Container Alliance and private donors. According to Krista Fahy, the museum’s curator of Vertebrate Zoology, the new cabinets cost a total of $230,000. The Container Alliance provided the use of a minus-20°F freezer unit, which allows the museum to freeze and remove pests from specimens before they are transferred to the metal containers. By summer, museum employees and volunteers will have moved 25,000 avian, 11,500 mammal, 36

and 6,000 fish and reptile specimens into the more chemically stable containers, allowing them to be better preserved and studied in the future. According to Fahy, “This project will ensure the conservation of this material for decades to come.” The new cabinets also make space for new collections and research growth at the museum. Further improvement projects are in the museum’s near future, including the renovation of Fleischmann Auditorium. —Amelia Buckley INDEPENDENT.COM

My Life

Stolen and Found:

The Tale of a Light-Blue Road Bike

hen miracles happen, no matter how small, a little rejoicing is in order. An IOU of gratitude needs to be paid. About a year and half ago, someone stole my bicycle. About a month ago, someone else found it. Now I have it back. To the universe writ large, I say thank you. To Joey Juhasz-Lukomski in particular, I say thank you many times over. Joey’s the one who found it. How he found it— and what he did to secure it afterward— it afterward goes far beyond the pale of Good Samaritan-ship. When my bike disappeared, it was a big deal. I’d had it more than 30 years. In fact, it had been custom made — by local frame builder Mike Celmins — to fit the idiosyncratic geometry of my torso-to-leg-to-armlength ratios. I’d just turned 30 and both my parents had recently died. I also happened to have just crashed my previous bike; the frame was pretzeled. The Celmins was a splurge. It also happened to be one of the last frames he would make. You wouldn’t know by looking, but it was a great bike. It was creamy to ride, the way steel-frame road bikes are, but also sturdy enough to be utilitarian. I rode it every day— day to work, on errands, over hills, and through valleys. I’d modified it over time, swapping out the traditional racing drop bars with upright mountain bike handlebars. I also let time and the elements take their toll, not to mention all the street poles to which it had been locked. The light-blue paint job, one of the touches for which Celmins was famous, had been scratched and scraped as if attacked by some fiend armed with a Brillo Pad. There had been a few accidents along the way, too, one bad enough to send the front fork to the dump and me to the hospital overnight. In that case, I’d benefited from the incredible generosity and magical skills of Bikesmiths owner and mechanic Jim Hopperstad, who all but performed mouth-tomouth resuscitation in bringing that bike back when every other mechanic in town had given it up for dead. Whoever stole it got a lot more bike than they knew. And I lost a whole lot more bike than they took. Nick Welsh I can’t say I had it coming, but I had been a fool. Instead of locking it up with one of those heavy-duty — emphasis on “heavy” — Kryptonite U-bolt locks, I’d tried a much lighter Kryptonite cable lock. Moron! Not all kryptonite, it turns, is the same, something Superman might be interested to learn. Cable locks are inherently inferior. Upon seeing that my bike was gone, I went into that state of suspended disbelief to which everyone succumbs when they get somesome thing stolen. I kept staring at the space my bike used to be, as if I could magically make it re-materialize. I walked around the block; it would be there when I came back. It wasn’t. I tried it again; the outcome did not change. I duly reported it stolen to the Santa Barbara Police DepartDepart

ment, which gets about 350 such reports a year. Of those, about seven or eight get recovered. The odds were not in my favor. I moved on, zipping about on a Trek LeMond, a bike quick enough to imbue slow-poke riders such as myself with the temporary illusion of genuine acceleration. Then one day my phone rang. It was a guy named Joey in Ventura. I didn’t know any Joey in Ventura. But he knew me. More to the point, he knew my bike. He had stumbled onto it while cruising pawn shops in downtown Ventura. There it was, a blue Celmins with the replacement black carbon front fork. Joey, it turns out, had been active with the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition. He’d risen to second in command. But nonprofits have a way of exploding, and Joey soon found himself in Ventura, starting his own version of the bike coalition. Lucky for Ventura. Lucky for me. Not only did Joey recognize my bike and call me, he put down $200 to get it out of hock. Who the hell does that? Joey Juhasz-Lukomski, that’s who. A Good Samaritan — and then some Now I got my old bike back. It fits the way it’s supposed to. It still rides creamy, with lots of glide. Maybe not as jumpy off the start, but there’s a lot less shimmy and wobble on the downhill runs. And I can take it for a stroll if I want. Miracles happen. Thank you, Joey. n

Is the spa meant mainly for hotel guests, or are you wanting to expand to the community at large? I want the community. … My goal is for it to be a space where locals can come. We do offer the local’s rate that works out to be a 20 percent discount. And we are going to be offering different locals packages. … We have a 30-minute facial we’re adding called Glow and Go. … And then we’re also going to do a 30-minute massage. We’re noticing the locals enjoy the hours, but they’re like, “Can I just pop in on my lunch break?” So I’m creating the ability for them to do that.

How do you make yourself stand Emma Spencer, director of Majorelle out? One, it’s the menu. Two is the therapists. [Also] we’re right downtown. It’s really easy to get here. … It’s very convenient. And of course, once they’re in here, it’s very intimate. … Another thing that’s very different with us is we offer 60-minute treatments. We don’t shrink it down to 50 minutes. You don’t feel rushed, and the therapists don’t feel rushed. … And then, we offer goat yoga once a month. Tell me about some of your treatments. We have our signature treatments; the Couture, which is either three or four hours, is a true made-to-measure experience. It starts with a preliminary consultation with our therapist. Once they understand your needs, then they curate the treatment based on whether you want three hours or four hours — it could be anything from a simple pedicure to a tarot card reading, or a psychic-energy clearing, or a chakra balancing, or a deep-tissue massage. It could also mean crude shiatsu massage or reflexology. … The aromatherapy is selected for that individual on that day, in that moment. And whatever product we create for them, the infused aromatherapy, you get to take that home with you at the end of your treatment, which is really special.

QUALITY CASUAL: Chef Daniel Palaima is drawing on his experience at restaurants in Chicago and elsewhere to serve up casual but quality Asianinspired eats at Tyger Tyger, including dishes such as Northern Thai curried pork noodles, chicken wings with caramelized fish sauce, and much more.

Chomping Southeast Asian Street Food at

Tyger Tyger

hat’s the next move when you’ve created a string of

successful restaurants, all in a two-block radius, from Californian, Italian, and Iberian in flavor to full-service, wine bar, bottle shop, and bakery in style? Walk-up Southeast Asian street food served in a colorfully casual cafeteria setting, alongside a gourmet ice creamery and small-batch coffee roaster, of course. So concluded Sherry Villanueva and her team at Acme Hospitality, whose quiver of Funk Zone eateries includes The Lark, Les Marchands, Loquita, Lucky Penny, Helena Street Bakery, and the Santa Barbara Wine Collective. Last fall, they added Tyger Tyger to their celebrated culinary crew, and lines immediately formed out the door for slurps of Northern Thai curried pork noodles, chomps of Vietnamese crêpes, and sweat-inducing bites of “Weeping Brisket” that’s slopped up with sticky coconut rice. Diners can follow up with exotically spiced cones from Monkeyshine Ice Cream or a pull of espresso from the Dart Coffee Co.; all are under the same roof surrounding the pink-lamped, open-windowed dining hall, although the coffee business is independently owned by David Dart and Erika Carter Dart. Leading the Tyger Tyger experience is Chef Daniel Palaima, a Santa Barbara–raised surfer, paraglider, and rock climber. He’s returned home after culinary school in San Francisco and jobs at top restaurants in the Santa Ynez Valley (including four-plus years at Root 246 under Chef Bradley Ogden), Lake Tahoe’s Martis Camp, and Chicago, where he moved in 2014 and worked under two of the world’s most respected chefs. He learned high-volume, all-from-scratch, modern Chinese cuisine under Stephanie Izard at Duck Duck Goat and then was rising up the ladder in Grant Achatz’s Alinea group when he got the Tyger Tyger call. “Driving down the road to work, seeing the mountains, seeing the ocean, I’m so happy to be back,” Palaima told me one day last fall about his commute from the Mesa down to the Funk Zone, where we sat on Tyger Tyger’s back patio.

PORK PARTY: The Pickle Room's Clay Lovejoy is serving up a classic sliced BBQ pork dish for the Chinese New Year.

Celebrate Chinese New Year with Sliced BBQ Pork

weet and salty, moist in the middle yet firm on the edges,

easy to eat with one hand, the perfect vehicle for spicy mustard—the sliced BBQ pork dish served for decades by Tommy Chung and his family at Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens was bar food at its finest. It’s just one of the Chinese-American classics that regulars have missed ever since Jimmy’s closed in 2006, Resurrects Tommy Chung’s Recipe and many feared those recifor pes were gone for good when Chung died in 2013. BY MATT KETTMANN But for two weeks starting on February 5, Clay Lovejoy will be bringing the dish back to life at The Pickle Room, the bar that he started with his late father, Bob Lovejoy, inside the former Jimmy’s location. The special occasion is the Chinese New Year, which celebrates the Year of the Pig, this time around the sun, making an excellent excuse to resurrect the bright-red plate of pork. “I was able to get Tommy’s old recipe,” said Lovejoy, explaining that it was handed down to a few people in town, including Skin Deep salon owner Tina Hasche, who passed it his way more than a year ago. “I just don’t want to mess it up,” laughed Lovejoy. “I want to make sure I honor the recipe. I can’t bring something half-assed to the table.” He’s practiced his version about six or so times on the hometown-heavy Monday and Tuesday crowds and will be serving it every night at the bar during the two-week New Year’s celebration. “It’s all about marinating it overnight and slow-cooking without overcooking,” he said. “You want to keep it moist. And it looks beautiful once it’s cut, with white meat on the inside and a bright-red outside.” Without divulging the specifics, Lovejoy said that the marinade includes hoisin, garlic, ginger, and red food coloring, and that he throws a smoke box in the oven to give it the barbecue kick. He uses the pork cushion (part of the shoulder) for the meat, cuts it on the bias, and serves it with “the Chinese mustard and the sesame seeds to dip it in, and a little bit of cabbage on the plate — some roughage for you.” Throughout the two weeks, Lovejoy will also be serving other pig dishes both at the bar and next door at Three Pickles Deli, including banh mi sandwiches, chile verde soup (like a green pozole), and, with the BBQ pork, perhaps some egg rolls and fried rice dishes. “We’ve come up with all kinds of pig recipes,” said Lovejoy, who’s adding to the fun by serving fortune cookies, selling a shirt featuring his dad’s “Pigs are people too” line, and offering a free drink to people born in other Years of the Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, or 1995) on February 5. But the easy money is on that sliced BBQ pork being the star. “It’s such a great thing for sharing at the bar,” he said. “Everyone can take a couple bites and pass it to their friends. It’s the perfect bar food.”

I would buy the BBQ sauce to take home if I could.” Reader Anne added, “Soul Cal Smokehouse is about to send Santa Barbara BBQ places to BBQ school. The best BBQ I have had in SB.” The menu includes smoked meats, baby back ribs, house-made sausages, chili, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and many sides.

term meaning “great growth,” it’s traditionally an indication that the grapes hail from the best land of an already-esteemed vineyard. And since there’s a saying, “Grapes make wine, people make beer,” it sort of follows that when a beer is designated as a grand cru, it’s an indication that the brewer is putting his or her best foot forward. So it’s a bit perplexing that Santa Barbara’s brand-new Night Lizard Brewing would put that name on one of their first-ever beers (in the grand scheme). Given that grand cru isn’t a specific style, brewer Chip Nasser made a 10 percent–alcohol beer that could be described as a Belgian strong golden ale or an imperial saison. It’s fermented with French saison yeast from the Senne Valley. Despite that region’s inextricable connection to funky, wild lambics, the result is not remotely lambic-y or sour. Consumed on draft, the beer opens with a great aromatic hit of pears and cloves and finishes with a taste of apples ’n’ honey. It’s also the first bottled release—with the bottle conditioned and wax-dipped for optimal maturation —making this ripe for buying now yet also for gift-giving if you’ve got any birthday parties coming up.

FALINE ENGLAND, JOE SPANO STAR IN BROADWAY DRAMA

aline England and Joe Spano have headlined some of the Rubicon Theatre Company’s most memorable productions, from classics such as All My Sons and Waiting for Godot to new plays like Gulf View Drive. But Indy Award winner England, a proud product of UCSB’s theater department, and Emmy Award winner Spano, a veteran television and film actor with credits running from Hill Street Blues to NCIS,, have never worked together. That changes beginning this weekweek end, when they costar in the Ventura

Is it true you met in Santa Barbara at Speaking of Stories? Joe Spano: That’s exactly right. It was May of last year. We read separate stories on the same night. She was so extraordinarily connected to the story she read. Afterwards, I went up to her and said, “You are the real deal.” I remembered there was a play called Heisenberg that was running in New York at that time. I called it up on my phone, showed it to Faline, and said, “We should do this.” Faline England: I had never heard of it. But I bought it quickly, and I read it. JS: You texted me, “Fuck — I love this play!” FE: But it was also a terrifying read. It felt like an impossible —Faline England feat.

She’s open; he responds to that openness. That affords him an opportunity to uncover some of his demons. What are the play’s deeper themes? FE: The exploration of the play is, “How do you live when you love so intensely, so deeply, that everything affects you?” JS: And how can you live if you have a vision of yourself as a very small figure in a large world? How can you reach out and be worthy of someone else? At 4 in the morning, we all sometimes come close to a really dark reality. How do you articulate those deep, and sometimes scary, perceptions? You two have been informally working on this for a few months. What’s the advantage of living with this material for a long time?

The challenge is making everything true— including the contradictions and the paradoxes. And the language is really hard. I never stop talking! —Tom Jacobs

TRACY K. SMITH Tracy K. Smith is the author of four books of poetry: Wade in the Water, The Body’s Question, Duende, and Life on Mars, which earned her a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She is also the author of a memoir, Ordinary Light, which was named a finalist for the National Book Award. Smith is a professor of the humanities and director and professor of creative writing at Princeton University. In 2017, she became the 52nd poet laureate of the United States. On January 31, UCSB’s Arts & Lectures presents an evening with Smith, who I recently interviewed via email.

Where do you see the intersection of poetry and politics in your current job? As I see it, poets are thinking in active and moving terms about questions of public and private politics—questions of how we relate to one another. In reading and talking about poems in different configurations of community, I notice that poems lead us not to a place of argumentation, but rather deep consideration and honest revelation. I’ve spent some of my most powerful moments in the past two years talking to people I’ve only just met about the things poems cause them to remember, wonder, wish, and realize. Does the geography of the place change your message in any way—are you reading the same poems and receiving similar responses in an affluent college town like Santa Barbara versus, say, rural Ohio? Of course, the chemistry in every room is dif dif-ferent. And so the conversations I’ve had from place to place have varied. That said, I’ll never forget discussing Steve Scafidi’s poem “For the Last American Buffalo” in a roomful of people in South Dakota who had a daily relationship with the buffalo. That animal, to them, isn’t mythic or fantastical; it’s big, danger dangerous, and you don’t get too close to it. You’re the editor of a new anthology, American Journal: Fifty Poems for Our Time. What qualities were you looking for in the poems you chose? I was looking for poems by contemporary American poets that shed light on different and diverse experiences of life in this country. I was also looking for poems that might welcome readers who are new to the art form, and delight readers who have loved poetry a long time. I hope that, reading the book from beginning to end, a reader’s notion of what poems are and what they do might expand. —David Starkey

ELEPHANTS ON PARADE: Ruben Zarate’s Dante Elephante plays a hometown show on February 1 before hitting the road for a national tour.

HAVE A FOLKY, FUNKY FEBRUARY by Richie DeMaria

KISS THE ABYSS: Big Thief ’s Adrienne Lenker steals us into February with a show at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.), and it’s kind of a big deal. Lenker spins haunting hypnoses of melancholy magic, a gentle force unto her own as well as when playing with her folk-rock group, Big Thief, from Brooklyn. She writes of life’s darkness with the light-speckled shadowing grace of migrant birds moving en mass. On her recent album, 2018’s abysskiss, she took a long, soft look at life’s great unknowns, to certified acclaim, garnering comparisons to everyone from Radiohead to Nick Drake. Fans of beautiful folk music ought to jump on tickets while they can. Opening for Lenker will be her longtime friend and collaborator Luke Temple. Temple shares a warm intimacy in his works. He transmits little folk wisdoms in his stories of uncovered secrets and latent domestic disturbances, broken homes, and broken minds. There’s lyrical drama, but it’s enrapturing in the way of a moving movie—and more lithe and lovely. The show starts at 9 p.m. DANTE RIDES AGAIN: Also at SOhO, the ever-excellent Dante Elephante commence the month with a hometown show on February 1 before they hit the wide-open road for a national tour. Those who’ve tracked the band since its performance at 2018’s KjEE Summer Round-Up have seen the band’s evolution from surf rockers to crafters of smooth funk-R&B hits; those who haven’t are in for a treat. Led by the irrepressible Ruben Zarate with a revamped lineup, the band has never sounded more at ease—or more sexy. Opener Walter Etc. hails from Ventura and picks up the surf-rock baton where Dante left off. The band’s tunes are confidently breezy and driving, the perfect kind of soundtrack for that oceanic stretch between Carpinteria and Ventura and back again. The show starts at 9 p.m. SHORELINE AND FEELING FINE: Alternatively, also on the night of Friday, February 1, The Shorelines headline a lineup at the Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave.) with S.B.’s Reef City and Nick Vaughn. Founded by multiinstrumentalists Maxton Schulte and Justin Kass, the Shorelines churn out grinding, grooving, drifting psychedelic rock that’s drenched in reverb and exciting on the ears and spirit. Expect smooth sailing through their rocking shores and enjoy. Reef City, meanwhile, takes the epic nature of 1970s glam and arena rock and brings it back with a refreshed coastal sound. If you missed The Shorelines at the Mercury Lounge, they play again on Sunday, February 3, also at the Cold Spring Tavern (5995 Stagecoach Rd.). But first, savor some tri-tip with the sounds of The Third Man, who will get the venue rollicking and happy with a blend of old-school country, surf rock, and even bohemian noir lounge. What a great way to spend Sunday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LESLIE: And if you’re back downtown Sunday night, Leslie Lembo, the namesake singer of Raw Silk w/Leslie Lembo, will celebrate her birthday with a concert at SOhO on Sunday, February 3. The night starts off with an intimate jazz dinner set at 6:30 p.m., followed by a dance party at 8 p.m. Reputed to get rumps shaking and toes tapping, the show will no n doubt have an extra flair with the festivities at hand.

This February the Santa Barbara Symphony returns to a work it co-commissioned more than a decade earlier, acclaimed composer Joseph Schwantner’s enchantingly delicate Chasing Light. The evening continues with Beethoven’s Triple Concerto, featuring three stellar musicians with a rich history of performing locally: violinist Paul Huang and cellist Ani Aznavoorian, both of Camerata Pacifica, and pianist Gilles Vonsattel, who regularly performs with the celebrated ensemble. Closing the evening will be Robert Schumann’s popular five-movement Symphony No.3, which is said to have been inspired by the history and spirit of Europe’s mighty Rhine river. Principal Sponsor

“Whether she’s photographing the famous and powerful – or simply the woman next door – Annie always captures something unexpected and deeply personal.”

A CARNIVAL OF LOSSES

oet and writer Donald Hall died last June at the age of 89, making this collection of very short essays — many just a page or two in length—all all the more relevant and haunthaunt ing. I read A Carnival of Losses when I had a bad cold, and the aching in my bones seemed to echo Hall’s descriptions of his many ailments and diminish-ing physical powers. Granted, wallowing in the punishments of old age might not sound like an especially fun way to spend a day, but Hall generally maintains a light touch with his material, highlighting the comedy of his situation far more than its pathos. Admittedly, A Carnival of Losses can be repetitive. Having to listen to someone talk on and on about his ancestors can be almost as dreary as listening to someone’s

dreams, and Hall never tires of recounting the yarns he remembers from long-gone relatives. Nevertheless, even when he is once again telling the story of moving to his 1803 New Hampshire farmhouse, where his “family has lived since the Civil War,” Hall lives up to his reputation as a demanding stylist. Though the subject matter is sometimes less than scintillating, the writ writing is always good, and the short essay form suits Hall’s aesthetic sensibilities. Donald Hall is convinced that when most poets die, their reader readership and their reputations almost immediately begin to fall off. It’s too soon to say if that fate will befall Hall — he believed that it would — but for now it’s well worth delving into his final, fiercely individualistic book. —David Starkey

Telling the tale of a beloved rockand-roll enigma, especially one so notoriously private, is a daunting task, but Bohemian Rhapsody tackles Freddie Mercury’s legendary story with flourish and fervor. Admittedly, the film adopts a convenient plot line ripe with meet-cutes and oversimplifications of Mercury’s complex relationship with his family and background. It struggles the most in addressing the oftendiscussed queerness of Mercury’s life, at times teetering toward bi-erasure and a less-than-delicate portrayal of AIDS. Rami Malek shines as the shy

The Upside (125 mins., PG-13) Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman star in this remake of the 2011 French film The Intouchables, which is based on the life of wealthy businessman Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, who became a quadriplegic following a paragliding accident.

O Green Book

(130 mins., PG-13)

Green Book is an uncommonly welltold tale of bodyguard Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) and classically trained pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), thrown together on a concert tour through the Deep South in 1962. Dr. Donald Shirley was a child prodigy, Russian-trained, and imbued with a dignity that suffered under the shortening of his name to “Don” by his record label. The film’s greatest transformation comes from Mortensen, who put on 25 pounds before the film began and added another 20 while playing Tony Vallelonga, aka Tony Lip. His son Nick Vallelonga wrote the script, holding off until after Don Shirley had died, as requested. It’s a restraint that Green Book plays with so well that the usually blasé Santa Barbara film audience couldn’t help but erupt with applause at film’s end. (JY) Paseo Nuevo

O Vice

(132 mins., R)

Adam McKay’s Vice may be the most pornographic film of the year that has nothing to do with sex. One part biopic of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney (Christian Bale), one part satire of the past half century of American politics, Vice contains plenty of moments where one might be inclined to look away (and perhaps can’t). The film sutures an array of disturbing content, including footage from the 9/11 attacks, torture scenes from the “War on Terror,” and a lingering vision of an anesthetized Dick Cheney mid-heart transplant. The VP’s cold, dead heart lies on a metal slab; his chest cavity is empty, awaiting a fresh occupant. Even for those who might find this negative portrait of Cheney and his politics cathartic, watching Vice feels like vice indeed. Part of this emerges from Christian Bale’s convincing performance as Cheney. Other cast members provide equally stunning renderings. Vice is intense, but it ultimately passes the litmus test of compelling biographical film: One walks out of the theater wanting to confirm whether multiple scenes were actual news footage. (KM)

SUPER FANS: There will not be any neutrality when Nancy and Kiki Garibay host a Super Bowl party at their home in Carpinteria. Kiki is wearing a Deacon Jones jersey from the 1960s, when he started following the Rams.

CHEERING OUR SUPER BOWL–BOUND

L.A. RAMS

Hard-Core and Newbie Fans Unite to Support Los Angeles Against New England

he L.A. Rams are in the Super Bowl. It’s happened only once before, 39 years ago—a drought that exceeded the longest gap between the Dodgers’ World Series appearances. I don’t count their two Super Bowls as the St. Louis Rams. When I was a kid, the Rams were L.A.’s original showtime team. Before the Dodgers and the Lakers arrived, they thrilled crowds in the Coliseum with such players as Crazylegs Hirsch, Jaguar Jon Arnett, The Dutchman, and Tank Younger. My favorite was Bob Boyd, a speedster whose over-the-shoulder receptions my brother and I mimicked while playing catch until it was too dark to continue. Season tickets were affordable in the early 1960s, which made us loyal fans of the Rams even as they suffered through seven straight losing seasons. As they collapsed one afternoon, the PA man announced that latest Rams yearbooks were on sale, and the crowd booed lustily. He followed up with: “It’s got nice pictures.” Then along came the hard-driving coach George Allen, the Fearsome Foursome led by Deacon Jones and Merlin Olsen, and the passing combination of Roman Gabriel-toJack Snow. “I was in the 3rd grade, and I had a pretty good arm,” said Kiki Garibay of Carpinteria. “Somebody called me Roman Gabriel. I’ve been following the Rams ever since.” The Rams made it to the NFL playoffs 16 times between 1967 and 1989, crashing the Super Bowl in 1980, when the Pittsburgh Steelers came from behind in the fourth quarter to pull out a 31-19 victory. They started playing in Anaheim

the following season, and Garibay would make frequent trips to watch Eric Dickerson’s dazzling runs. After the Rams made their confounding move to St. Louis in 1994, they lost a lot of their Southern California following, but not Garibay. “My wife [Nancy] and I are big-time fans,” he said. “We went to three games in St. Louis.” So they celebrated when the Rams defeated the Titans in the 2000 Super Bowl, and they were ready to shell out for season tickets when the team returned to Los Angeles three years ago. After a mediocre homecoming season, the Rams struck gold with the hiring of dynamic coach Sean McVay and the blossoming of quarterback Jared Goff. It was off to the playoffs last year, and now this Sunday’s Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta. Millions of football fans have jumped on L.A.’s bandwagon —because they don’t want to see the perceived Evil Empire of Coach Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots brandish another trophy. But the Garibays evince an authentic support of the Rams, going back decades. “It will be hard to take down that gunslinger [Tom] Brady,” Kiki Garibay said. “I see a last-second field goal, and I think [Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein] can do it.” An interested observer will be Laird Hayes, a San Marcos High and Princeton grad, who retired last year after 22 years as an NFL official. Hayes was a side judge at three Super Bowls, beginning in 2002, when the Belichick–Brady era was launched by a 20-17 upset of the St. Louis Rams and their “Greatest Show on Turf.” Hayes also worked at the Super Bowls in 2004 (Patriots 32, Carolina 29) and 2012 (New York Giants 21, Patriots 17). In the latter game, Hayes made one of the most famous calls in offici-

ating lore. He ruled that Mario Manningham was inbounds on a bang-bang sideline catch that set up the winning touchdown. Belichick challenged the call, but the replay upheld it. Also on the crew in that Super Bowl was Gary Cavaletto, another Santa Barbara native and one of those anonymous NFL black-hatted zebras until last week’s NFC championship game. With less than two minutes remaining, Cavaletto and two other officials were in position to call a blatant pass interference and/or helmet-to-helmet penalty against Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman, but they didn’t. Because of their misjudgment, not subject to review, the New Orleans Saints were deprived of a first down that would have enabled them to run down the clock and kick a winning field goal, rather than giving the Rams a chance to score an equalizer and win in overtime. Needless to say, if Cavaletto is ever seen in New Orleans again, he’d best have somebody else taste the gumbo when it’s brought to his table. Saints fans, a more deeply passionate constituency than L.A.’s, are still enraged. Cavaletto, a 16-year veteran in the NFL, is highly regarded among officials. But he’s human, and they all make mistakes. Hayes said, “What matters is: How big a mistake do you make, and when do you make it?” Hayes recalled a 2013 game when he ruled that Denver’s Trindon Holliday stepped out of bounds on a punt return. Replays showed that he had fumbled while still in bounds. Because Hayes blew the play dead, Sergio Brown of the Colts, who had picked up the ball and run into the end zone, was deprived of a touchdown. “All I could think was: ‘You idiot!’” Hayes said. “Fortunately, it was in the first quarter, and Indianapolis ended up winning the game.” By contrast, the blunder of Cavaletto and crew could not have come at a worse time. Jim Tunney, perhaps the NFL’s most trusted referee from 1960-90, writes a weekly column (tunneysideofsports.com) for the Monterey Herald. He offered an interesting explanation for what happened in New Orleans, a condition called “inattentional blindness.” Tunney wrote that “it causes us to miss something even if our eyes never look away. During a magic trick your eyes may never look away, but you still didn’t see what happened!” Hayes said the NFL may decide to subject potential passinterference incidents to replay reviews in the future. “It won’t be next year,” he said, because the league would not want to appear knee-jerk in doing its business. But such a provision would be consistent with the reviews that determine whether pass receptions or balls crossing the goal line were judged correctly. n

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ELSA ARNDT, also known as ELSA YOLANDA ARNDT and ELSA Y. ARNDT Case No.: 19PR00009 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of ELSA ARNDT, also known as ELSA YOLANDA ARNDT and ELSA Y. ARNDT A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: CORD ARNDT in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: CORD ARNDT be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 02/21/2019 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Jeffrey B.
