PAID FOR BY COLD SPRING COMMUNIT Y MEMBERS Dear Concerned Community, Recent stories have been shared by the press which portray our beloved Cold Spring Community as a war-torn battlefield, the casualty of infighting between the parents, teachers, School Board and administrative staff.

Although that narrative is interesting, entertaining and presumably sells papers and gets clicks, it is also hurtful and grossly inaccurate. The far less exciting reality is that the majority of families get along and are regularly seen enjoying all that Cold Spring School has to offer. The teachers and staff are wonderfully supportive, effective, and do an amazing job of raising the next generation of thoughtful and courageous little humans. The board regularly conducts meetings, full of ordinary and sometimes mundane tasks, to a typically vacant auditorium. However, their stories aren’t told because they are filled with gratitude rather than drama. They are respectful of people’s privacy and are shared internally rather than blasted on social media or other outlets that shamefully fuel falsities and encourage those armed with rumors and gossip to make a name for themselves by making noise. And sadly, they are silenced by the fear of retaliation and the retribution of one neighbor.

Recently, a letter written anonymously and attached below, was circulated by text message and email from one parent to another. There was no mass publication, agenda or fanfare. Its intention and result was simply to show support for those working for, and at, Cold Spring School. Over 90 signatures were submitted anonymously within days. This current letter was similarly circulated and received over 150 signatures within days, by individuals wish to now show their public support and many additional community members privately support this message. Clearly, we, the majority of families, love and support the community, the teachers, and the school.

We are tired of the noise and need to take action to change the narrative and ensure the teachers who go above and beyond, are not ostracized by the antics of one. Truthfully, most of us work at least one job, take care of our children, our parents, volunteer where we can, and have responsibilities that prevent us from effectively countering the baseless attacks on our community. They may be the loudest, but they do not represent us. And so, although the fight isn’t fair, and we are not at fault, we the community, find ourselves saddled with this problem of skewed narratives and personal vendettas. When the dust eventually settles and the teachers have finally reached a breaking point, it is the children who will be left paying the price. If you support and appreciate the teachers, staff, board, administration, and even parent volunteers, it is time to show them that support.

Place supportive signs in your yard or on your fence. Wear your school spirit around town. Appreciate them for the difficult and often thankless work they all do. Write and send your opinions to outlets like the Montecito Journal, Independent, and Noozhawk, but be mindful that some publications choose which opinions to publish, and often, our voices are silenced. Come to board meetings so that you are informed of the facts and can base your opinions on the truth, rather than what you have been spoon-fed by those that take comments out of context or refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. Board meetings are published on the school’s website and listed on the marquee in the parking lot. Please get involved by volunteering and participating where you can.

those teachers, who are being targeted. Most of all, be mindful of the fact that most of us don’t have all of the information, and never will.

I leave you with the previous letter anonymously supported by many families: Dear Fellow Parents and Community Members of Cold Spring School, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today in hopes of gathering your names as a show of support for our incredible school, its teachers and staff. Most of you are aware of the well-deserved and fantastic reputation of Cold Spring School. Our little haven of education manages to outperform larger and better funded schools year upon year. It offers a profound educational foundation for our children, while instilling in them the basics of good citizenship. Yet, the school itself is just a building made up of bricks and mortar. The real success of Cold Spring is due to the teachers and staff who work there.

The men and women who often spend more time with our children, than their own. These people love our children and shed blood, sweat, and tears for them. They are giants among us. These giants are under attack. By now, many of you have seen the article in the Santa Barbara Independent on March 29, 2021. How did it make you feel? Were you surprised and angry that our teachers are feeling so stressed from the bullying caused by one parent/community member that they required medical attention? Are you upset that our school has had to pay a whole teacher’s salary to defend against the constant and frivolous litigation produced by this same person? This additional senseless expense could mean that there may be one less classroom that can be split next year. What about the fact that our administration has to waste countless hours of their time dealing with this nightmare and the constant and excessive requests for public and private information that is either confidential or has been disclosed? The school should be able to focus on our children during a public crisis, not on one person who has decided to target the school for their own vendetta! Personally, I am livid that my children are not getting the best education possible because one parent is having a tantrum. I am angry, saddened, and concerned for our giants. The teachers and staff that we all love and appreciate need our support now more than ever. I would like to show them my support and am asking you to do the same. By signing this form, you are telling Cold Spring School teachers and staff that you believe in them. That you support them and appreciate them, especially during these difficult times. That you agree no one should have to withstand the bullying that has occurred and want it to stop. That you thank them for their hard work during this year and for doing their best in educating our dearest possessions. We are Cold Spring Strong.

In order to ensure this majority opinion would be published, we’ve purchased ad space. We love and support the teachers and want the baseless rumors, vexatious litigation, and attempt to rip apart the community to end.

With concern and love, Cold Spring Families

US AND OUR ARROW For years, even before the death of their very old king snake, Ferocious Kai, Mason Kettmann, who is 11 years old, and his 8-year-old sister, Madeline, were pining for a puppy. Last month, their dream came true when Joanna and Matt Kettmann — our longtime senior editor, who’s worked at the paper since 1999 — brought home a Goldendoodle, whose longer hair leans more toward the golden retriever side of things. It’s Matt’s first dog since Lollypop, the dachshund/terrier he adopted on his 5th birthday and lived with until he left home for UCSB. The Kettmanns named their dog Arrow, and the 10-week-old pup is “very sweet and smart,” according to Matt, who explained, “He’s already sleeping through the night, though still peeing a bit inside.”

Arrow’s current hobbies involve exploring the backyard, following Joanna around, chilling under the avocado tree, and chewing on iris, kangaroo paw, and other plants that he shouldn’t be.

Madeline loves playing fetch and chase with Arrow and is excited to take him on walks and go to the beach when he’s fully vaccinated, but she doesn’t like “watching him when I don’t want to”— lesson in responsibility, check! As for Mason, “He licks and bites me in a gentle way — no, a majestic way! We’re learning about strong words in class.”

Residents Turn Out to Save Ortega Park Murals Bilingual Saturday Event Organized by One Community Bridge Project, Bienestar Latinx, and City Officials IGN AC IO ‘N ASH’ MOR EN O/B I EN ESTAR L ATI N X PHOTOS

T

his Saturday, a throng of Santa Barbara residents turned out to Ortega Park to voice their ideas for the future of the park’s murals. The murals — colorful depictions of Aztec, Chumash, and Chicano imagery—were originally slated for removal as part of a city-funded redevelopment plan meant to bring new amenities to the space, such as sports fields, a heated swimming pool, treelined promenades, and more.

“We have to hold each other accountable,” she said, “and that’s how we can [begin] this changing process, and also [begin] to heal.”

At the helm of the mural preservation effort is Mark Alvarado, director of One Community Bridge Project and a former city staffer. He said if the city allows the project to move forward in a “truly communitycentered effort, then I think it’ll be a win-win.

“If this doesn’t demonstrate to the city that [effective community outreach] is important, then they’re not listening,” Alvarado said.

NEWS BRIEFS CORONAVIRUS CORONAVIRUS Along with the rest of the nation, the county gave the all-clear for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on 4/26. Six cases of women developing blood clots, one fatally, had caused federal health authorities to “pause” the coronavirus medication, also called the Janssen vaccine, on 4/13. Centers for Disease Control and Food & Drug Administration officials lifted the advisory, saying a review of the cases and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System led to the determination that the benefits outweighed the risk. (Read the full story at independent.com/j&j-resumes.)

Both the UC and CSU systems announced a proposed policy to require COVID-19 vaccinations for all students, staff, and faculty who will be working or studying on campus this fall. Under the proposal, students planning to be on campus would have to update their immunization documentation or provide an approved exception or medical exemption. The vaccination requirement would also allow for the further reopening of campuses, along with continued safety requirements of physical distancing and mask wearing.

Public Health Director Dr. Van Do-Reynoso attended President Joe Biden’s first joint address to Congress on 4/28 as the virtual guest of Rep. Salud Carbajal. The honor, which was also extended to S.L.O. Public Health’s Dr. Penny Borenstein, recognizes their key leadership during the pandemic. Normally, the 535 congressmembers can invite one in-person guest each, Carbajal’s office said. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in whose chamber the speech is held, limited attendance to about 200 lawmakers with no in-person guests, following COVID protocols and amid high post-1/6 security.

COMMUNITY Montecito resident Oprah Winfrey will be the keynote speaker for UCSB’s commencement ceremony, Chancellor Henry T. Yang announced last week. An in-person graduation processional will take place the week of 6/7, allowing graduating students and also Class of 2020 grads to cross a stage and pose for photographs in front of the campus lagoon; the online commencement ceremony featuring Winfrey will take place on 6/12. Both events will be livestreamed so friends and family can share in the celebration.

The electric shuttles serving Santa Barbara’s downtown and waterfront — which were suspended last April — might not make a post-pandemic comeback. The shuttles provided frequent service for just 50 cents a ride, made possible through a contract between city Public Works and its bus company. Without Public Works’ $1 million subsidy or the city’s financial help, Metropolitan Transit District (MTD) doesn’t have the resources to continue the shuttle. The shuttle termination is one element of MTD’s proposed annual service change for August. MTD is currently taking comments via a public survey at sbmtd.gov/servicechanges and at its next virtual community meeting on 5/11.

High fire season begins 5/3, meaning no more burn permits will be issued and individual departments will be increasing resources. The 2020-21 rainy season yielded just 47 percent of our normal rainfall, explained County Fire’s Daniel Bertucelli, resulting in significantly drier fuels. County Fire is in the process of applying for some of the $165 million the state is giving out for fire-prevention projects. For now, residents are urged to maintain vegetation clearance around structures, review their Ready! Set! Go! wildfire action plans, and be cautious in wildland areas. See sbcfire.com.

“We need to treat vaccinations like college, that level of excitement,” said Boardmember Wendy Sims-Moten about the vaccination buses. The district will be taking students from the three traditional high schools first and the alternative high schools in the coming weeks.

Wageneck also said that the district has seen an overall net decline of 217 students since August 2020.

The district also moved one step closer to building a summer learning program that will help students make up for any learning loss stemming from a tumultuous past academic year in the pandemic. Read more on that at independent.com/summer-learning.

officers’ request to drop the knife and made an advance toward them. The officers were eventually able to talk Ortiz down and get him to surrender the knife. Ortiz was charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine and a fixed blade over three inches. He is booked in County Jail on $10,000.

The County Jail won accreditation by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, putting it on par with incarceration facilities nationwide for higher standards of safety, training, health care, and special needs and services. The road to accreditation started in 2017 when county supervisors contracted with Wellpath to take over the jail’s medical services from a provider highly criticized by inmates, their families, and mental-health organizations. Ironically, in the same week the accreditation was announced, the new provider was sued in the death of a mentally ill inmate in Ventura County’s jail.

City Council Gives Itself a Raise

T

he Santa Barbara City Council voted to give itself a 2.6 percent pay increase when City Hall’s projected budget for the new year is $7.5 million in the hole, mostly due to the impacts of the COVID pandemic on local tourism.

The uncomfortable optics of the decision notwithstanding, the amount involved is less than $2,500. The mayor will see a $62 a week pay bump and the councilmembers an increase just shy of $50.

In Santa Barbara, the council pay is dictated by city charter, not by the council itself.

It goes up or down automatically based on fluctuations of the Area Median Income.

The council vote ratifies those fluctuations.

Last year’s increase of 10 percent, however, elicited significant discomfort among councilmembers, many of whom pledged to donate all or some of their raises back to the general fund or to nonprofits such as the Santa Barbara Library Foundation.

Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez inquired whether that option was still available to

councilmembers, and he was told it was.

Even though the City of Santa Barbara is slated to receive $22 million from the American Rescue Plan—$11 million this year and $11 million the next—City Hall has incurred $25 million in revenue losses because of COVID-19. City Administrator Paul Casey said Santa Barbara has been hit harder than any other local government in the tri-counties, citing the intensity with which the Santa Barbara economy relies on the tourist dollar.

This week, the council’s Finance Committee voted unanimously to recommend the rescue revenues be used to replenish badly depleted reserves, now $14 million less than what council policy dictates. Even so, Councilmember Meagan Harmon questioned the wisdom of putting all the federal windfall into reserves. “Is there something important that our neighbors need to help them get through this moment that these funds can provide?” When the matter gets to the council as a whole, that debate will begin in earnest.

veryone alive today will be 24 years older when California stops pulling oil from below the ground in 2045. This ambitious goal was a coda to Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement last Friday that the state would stop giving permits for fracking in 2024.

Environmental groups such as the Sierra Club and Food and Water Watch immediately found Newsom’s bans insufficient. Sierra Club’s Brandon Dawson called for a shorter timeline on both “to confront the climate crisis.” Alexandra Nagy, head of Food & Water Watch, called the action a dodge by Newsom to put the burden on the state’s permitting agencies.

task was more to perform an analysis that would give the state facts on which to base decisions, rather than to provide solutions.

A third study specifically on a changing workforce is due in the fall. (More at independent.com/frackban2021.)

“We want to be part of the solution,” said Kevin Slagle of the Western States Petroleum Association of his members’ efforts to make their carbon footprint smaller, invest in biofuel production, and transition to solar. The ban order was the wrong approach, he said: “When they say we want to eliminate your industry, they’re saying we don’t need you as part of the solution.”

California has led the world in curbing emissions, which the Biden administration recognized this week in reversing Trump’s attempt to stop enforcement of the state’s rigorous regulations.

But Newsom’s fracking ban announcement has its skeptics: “It’s curious that a year ago he couldn’t do it,” said Slagle.

DDT Dumping Worse Than Once Thought

M

arine scientists with Scripps Institute have discovered that a much larger swath of the Pacific Ocean between Los Angeles and the Catalina Island was used as an industrial dumping ground for tens of thousands of barrels laden with the pesticide DDT or sludge from the DDT manufacturing process.

“It’s much, much bigger than anything we had thought,” said UCSB Professor David Valentine, a marine scientist who’s been studying the DDT dumping for more than 10 years.

According to Valentine, new mapping of the ocean floor reveals that dumping took place in an area of more than 50 square miles. Before that, he said, the understanding was that dumping occurred within a three-mile circle. According to best estimates, at least 27,000 confirmed barrels were dumped overboard in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. In addition,

Valentine said there are more than 100,000 other human-made objects on the ocean floor that may or may not be barrels. Some of the barrels, he noted, were still intact; others had decomposed.

“There is so much we do not know,” he added. To date, he said, not one of the barrels has been retrieved from the ocean floor.

Valentine said much research is needed to determine the biological consequences of DDT in the marine environment; its adverse consequences to dolphins and sea lions have been documented, he said.

Valentine is too young to have run and played in DDT clouds sprayed throughout neighborhoods across the United States as a mosquito control measure—as countless children did in those decades. But he cited a research paper released last week demonstrating how the granddaughters of pregnant women exposed to DDT showed —Nick Welsh traces of it.

Jalama Canyon Ranch Sells for $6M White Buffalo Land Trust to Turn Property into Regenerative Farming Center

by Matt Kettmann n a bold move for both land conservation and the future of earth-friendly farming, the Summerland-based White Buffalo Land Trust just purchased the 1,000-acre Jalama Canyon Ranch for $6 million, with plans to turn the property into a center for regenerative agriculture. Located on Jalama Road close to Highway 1, about eight miles north of Point Conception and a 10-minute drive south of Lompoc, the ranch was best known for years as an event venue and home to JCR Vineyard, which was the name of a wine brand until recently.

“It was an Earth Day gift for sure,” said Ana Smith, the director of programs and engagement for White Buffalo. “We’re really excited about this opportunity to begin the development of this center for regenerative agriculture that will be an important hub for this region and beyond.

It’s really a beacon for the power of regenerative agriculture and how we can grow out food, fiber, and medicine in a way that restores the ecosystem.”

Quickly gaining steam in farming communities across the world—including in the region’s vast wine industry—regenerative agriculture, according to Regeneration International.org, “describes farming and grazing practices that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity, resulting in both carbon drawdown and improving the water cycle.”

The $6 million was raised as part of a “blended capital effort,” with funding coming from the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County as well as foundations, individual donors, and conservation lenders. The next step will be raising another $4 million by May 2022 to pay for infrastructure development and bring the programs to life. White Buffalo plans to kick that campaign off in June. The grand dream is laid out in detail at tinyurl.com/campaign-for-jalama.

ciples and practices of regenerative agriculture, that focuses on the links between those practices and the positive ecological outcomes on the land, that focuses on training the next generation of land stewards as well as current land stewards,” said Smith of their ambitions, which will emphasize educational opportunities for all ages.

A nonprofit founded by Steve Finkel to honor the work of his late wife, Lyndsey McMorrow, White Buffalo Land Trust already owns a 12-acre farm behind Summerland, where the staff of about eight people are already practicing regenerative farming. The flagship farm is “our living laboratory,” said Smith. “Jalama Canyon Ranch is our opportunity to show regenerative agriculture at scale and to work with others who have those types of land holdings to show how a transition to regenerative agriculture is possible.”

“Throughout history we have struggled to live in balance and harmony with the earth and with each other; yet our shared future rests on our expanding awareness and ability to do so,” said Finkel in a press release. “The community coming together to do this work at Jalama Canyon Ranch is a resounding step forward on this journey.” n

45 YEARS LATER: “I can’t believe this is happening,” said John Ornelas. “Now I’m getting caught back in the moment. Man, this is crazy.”

Then June 21 happened.

John Ornelas remembers the Westside party. At the time, he’d been out of the camp just one week. His brother Paul—out on leave—was to be released one week later. They were celebrating freedom. He remembers going out to use the restroom. When he came back, Paul was just taking off.

“I’ll be back,” Paul Ornelas declared.

John would spend the night at his sister’s house in Santa Barbara. Their mother would show up the next morning from Oxnard. Another sister was there, too. John remembers the knock on the door and the Sheriff ’s deputies showing up to deliver the bad news.

“I was devastated,” he said, but for his mom, it was even worse. “It took everything she had and just broke her,” he recalled. “I’ll never forget the look on her face. They may as well have grabbed her heart right out of her rib cage. They never put it back.”

Pauline Ornelas was 40 years old the night her son was killed.

John credits his older brother Vincent for keeping the family together. At the time, John Ornelas—fresh out of boys’ camp—figured he’d be living with friends in Goleta. His big brother Vincent brought Ornelas back to earth, making him part of his own family.

—John Ornelas, on how his brother’s murder “‘This is your home,’ ” he told John. affected his mother, Pauline Ornelas Jaramillo Four years later, John graduated from Santa Barbara High School.

He was on the football team. He was focused. “I was the only one in my immediate family to graduate,” he noted.

Ornelas’s brother Vincent died suddenly in 2015. Today, only two of the eight Ornelas kids are still alive. The other surviving sibling, a brother, suffers from dementia. John Ornelas is the last Ornelas standing.

“I made a promise I was going to find out what happened,” he said. “I made a promise we would find answers, that we would see justice done.”

Closure, like grief, comes in many forms. “Their grieving has affected the family for years,” said Detective Maxwell. But even when crimes gets solved, “sometimes, it’s a big weight lifted,” he said, “but sometimes it’s never quite enough.”

For John Ornelas, it all remains very much an open question. He’s still not sure what got the case reopened, but he is hoping it’s because the detectives have something. If they do, they still can’t tell him. But he’s confident they mean business.

Forty-five years ago, he noted, there was no social media. Now the echoes are coming back on him with a vengeance. “I can’t believe this is happening. Now I’m getting caught up in the moment all over again,” he said. “Man, it was crazy.”

To keep himself grounded, John Ornelas prays. “I just ask God to give me the strength and courage to keep going so we can see justice for this family.” n

Dog Chasing the Czar

WHAT’S IN A NAME: Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be “czar?” It’s a title

so powerful that it doesn’t need—nor would it tolerate—an “a” in front of it. One simply is czar, which decidedly is not to be confused with its syphilitic kissing cousin “tsar,” a title that reeks of aristocratic inbreeding and mothballs. The issue came to a head this Tuesday when City Councilmember Eric Friedman asked Kimberlee Albers whether what is really needed is a “homeless czar?”

At the time, they were discussing an impenetrably dense report — 104 pages long — that Albers was presenting on the county’s latest plan to address homelessness. Albers, being the county’s de facto

homeless czar—though without the furs and scepter — all too predictably answered no.

Santa Barbara, she said, already has a stakeholder group that has 27 members guiding

the 180 groups dealing with homelessness

one way or the other.

Also, another such commission is made up of elected officials from each of the eight cities and the County of Santa Barbara. This Tuesday, for example, the council voted to appoint Mayor Cathy Murillo and Councilmember Alejandra Gutierrez to serve on it.

In other words, yes, we absolutely need a Homeless Czar.

Albers is endowed with a rare sense of mission, a bulletproof optimism that is contagious, and an uncanny ability to juggle 19 plates while doing somersaults and some-

how still keep smiling. She is, in other words, utterly invaluable. But she is totally incapable of uttering simple declarative sentences, such as “Let there be light.”

We need a Homeless Czar. Hope is good.

Fear might be helpful, too.

The subliminal reality to which Albers alluded throughout her remarks—though she will swear she didn’t—is the crushing

need for a new bed tax, sales tax, or property tax to create a sustainable year-in-year-

out revenue stream upon which we can rely when all the millions in one-time state and federal dollars starts drying up this coming June. The political cognoscenti tell us now is not the time. Wait a few years, they say.

Only Councilmember Michael Jordan, onetime mouthpiece and representative for hospitality industry and downtown merchants, has been so foolhardy as to stick his neck out on favor of this. Jordan, an enthusiastic but impatient mansplainer, has the urgent energy possessed only by Johnny-come-latelies to the cause. Even before there was ink on the documents, Jordan came out loudly and preemptively in favor of a plan to transform the abandoned youth hostel at the bottom of Chapala Street into transitional homeless housing.

And he represents the district where this will happen.

Prior efforts to build much-needed homeless housing — one on Alisos Street and another at the Castillo-Carrillo street

parking lot —died on the vine, the victims

of bureaucratic self-immolation, stupidity, and NIMBY outrage.

To get any tax passed, voters will need to perceive progress is being made. Despite what appears to be overwhelming evidence to the contrary on the streets, it is. As Albers noted, in the past two years, 585 people have gotten housed, and 20,000 bed nights of shelter have been provided; 270 households have gotten rental assistance; 173 homeless people—those at highest risk—have gotten emergency housing in hotels. Of those, 80 have found permanent housing.

Two weeks ago, the council approved half a million bucks on a similar “hoteling” plan. Within one day, all 15 beds were fully occupied.

Even so, the fastest rising homeless subpopulation are people living in cars and vans. New Beginnings’ Safe Parking Program —started in 2004—is by far the cheapest, safest, most practical, and most necessary program that addresses this need. Yet the program’s sparse inventory of 150 parking spaces is holding stubbornly steady.

Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez asked Albers a great question Tuesday: What are

the churches and corporations doing?

When it comes to parking spaces, not nearly enough. In fact, many of the churches that were once mainstays of the program have pulled out. No doubt they have their reasons.

But what about Sears and Costco, with their

vast oceanic parking lots? How many car campers could they accommodate?

Short answer? A whole lot more than they do.

Ask city functionaries, and they suck in their breaths and note ruefully how the Sears lot has many owners. Maybe a call from a Homeless Czar—making them an offer they can’t refuse—would simplify things. Maybe City Hall has some tit to exchange for Sears’ tat, some quid for the churches’ quo. Maybe if we had a Homeless Czar, City Hall would not embarrass itself passing “neutral” ordinances regulating feral shopping carts or banning oversized vans from parking on city streets.

The good news is not that Nomadland —a movie about older people forced by death and economic displacement into vans and RVs—just won the Oscar for Best Film. The good news is that Congressmember Salud Carbajal saw fit to introduce a bill—named after his former boss, mentor, and ultimate political mamma bear supervisor Naomi Schwartz — to create new federal funding opportunities for programs like Safe Parking.

Under Carbajal’s proposal, local governments could apply for up to $5 million to fund such programs. Such funding would go a very long way to help defray the costs of running these programs. It would not, however, make parking spaces magically appear. Maybe some private property owners now threatening to create an armed militia of private security cops on State Street could help out.

Did you know “czar” is a Slavic bastardization of the word “Caesar?”

We need a Homeless Czar. —Nick Welsh

Rita Perez Rojas passed away peacefully on the morning of April 13th with her husband Roberto Rojas by her side as she took her last breath.

Rita leaves behind her loving husband Roberto Rojas, Son Richard Rojas (Luci Rojas), daughter Rita Rojas Sanchez (Gilbert Sanchez), Grandson Rick Rojas, Granddaughters Ramona Rojas, Nicolle Sanchez, Great Grandchildren Robby Rojas and Holly Rojas. Rita has been reunited in the afterlife with her son Robin Rojas, Mother Ruth Perez, Father Rito Perez, and sister Angie Contreras.

She was born in Phoenix Arizona on March 10th, 1926.

Rita spent her childhood in Arizona with her family. In 1953 she met the love of her life Roberto Rojas who was stationed at Luke Field Air Force Base, shortly after they married, they had their first son Robin Rojas. After her husband was discharged from service they moved to El Paso, Texas where she had her 2nd son Rich Rojas and years later her daughter, Rita Sanchez. The family enjoyed their time in El Paso, Texas but when a job opportunity presented itself Rita and her husband uprooted their family to California. They made Santa Barbara their forever home. With the beautiful weather in Santa Barbara, Rita loved to spend time in her garden, and enjoy all the beauty that Santa Barbara had to offer.

She enjoyed taking her grandchildren to the beach to hunt for shells. Becoming a Great Nana was an exciting time for Rita, she really enjoyed every moment spent playing with her great grandchildren and making memories.

Rita was an amazing Wife, Mother, Daughter, and Nana.

She was the family Matriarch, an advice giver, and the glue that kept The Rojas family together, she will be greatly missed.

Burial services will be held at Santa Barbara Cemetery on Friday April 30th 2021 at 3pm

Brett Gourley was born at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California on September 17,1938 to Jean Ballantyne Gourley and Phillip Nordli. On April 12, 2021, he passed away after a two year battle with cancer. His life was not defined by how he died but by how he lived.

His passion for the ocean and beach was apparent from early in his life, including fishing with the local Italian fisherman, surfing at Hendry’s and playing volleyball at East Beach. However, after graduating from SBHS in 1956, Brett served in the army instead of heading to surf Hawaii with his buddies. He left the army and went on to complete his AA degree in landscape horticulture from SBCC and then attended Cal Poly Pomona.

Returning to Santa Barbara, Brett started his own landscaping business.

In 1961, he married his first wife, Judy Ann Johnson. They had two girls, Gwynn Ellen and Lesley Jean. They moved to Pacific Grove, where he started work for CalTrans as a tree surgeon, arborist and lead foreman covering all of Monterey County. Part of his responsibilities were to trim and care for giant redwoods in Big Sur. Prior to his retirement from CalTrans, he set the standard of tree work protocol which is still used today. Ultimately, he was drawn back to the ocean and spent the rest of his working life as a commercial fisherman. He fished many areas off the Central Coast from San Simeon to Half Moon Bay. Although his marriage of 22 years with Judy ended, they continued a lifetime of friendship and a shared love of their daughters.

In 1984, Brett married Lesley Keil and adopted Asia Keil as his first son. Soon after, they had twins, Steven and Keil Gourley. He shared his love

of fishing and hunting with his sons who have avidly continued his passion. Although Brett and Lesley’s marriage eventually ended in 1993, their friendship endured.

After some time had passed, Brett reconnected with a longtime friend, Christie Ford who became his third wife and the love of his life, in February of 2003. Her three children from a previous marriage quickly became members of Brett’s large and extended family.

During their marriage, they shared a passion for the written word, history, politics, a prolific garden and their dog Nellie. They also enjoyed traveling, fishing, hunting and the meals they shared with so many friends and family.

Brett was a man of countless talents and attributes, as a builder, wood carver and master craftsman. By the end of his life, he had constructed seven boats from a 12- foot Pirogue to a 20-foot Alaskan Skiff.

Although he lived a simple life, he was anything but simple.

Distinguished, kind hearted and gentle to some; rough edged, untamed and rugged to others. His love was shown through deeds, not words. As a deep thinker and man of few words, when he spoke, everyone listened and when you spoke, he always listened.

Brett was preceded in death by his parents and maternal aunt Marjorie. He is survived by his wife Christie, his beloved sister Jill Ryan, two daughters, Gwynn (Martin) and Lesley (Andrea); three sons, Asia (Heather), Steven and Keil (Melissa); eleven grandchildren; nine nieces and nephews; two previous wives; Christie’s children, Peddrick (Johanna), Max (Maria) and Beth (Bruce) and his two cousins. Cindy Reed (Jim) and Brian Clare.

Due to COVID restrictions, at this time there will be no public memorial.

Chong A. Song

4/28/1950 - 3/21/2021

The Lord Jehovah’s angels peacefully lifted Chong A. Song to heaven on March 21, 2020.

She was known as Song, Songie or Songie-Doll to her many loved ones, friends and work colleagues. The country was in the first stages of its lock-down from COVID19, when her heart gave way to her lengthy and valiantly fought battle with metastatic cancer through which she maintained her dignity to the end.

She was born in Pusan, South Korea, April 28, 1950 to LiHwan Song and Kim Song and grew up with three brothers. Eventually, she married Won Ho Yun and had a son, Won Dong Uk. Being very poor, she decided to emigrate to the United States in 1985, to follow a desire to work in Health Care. Her husband and son chose not to follow her.

One of Song’s most proud moments was when she became a citizen of her beloved, adopted country, the United States of America in October of 1994.

She became one of our community’s most beloved and respected care workers working without ever calling in sick, for twenty-five years at Valle Verde and twelve years at Samarkand. Her career as a CNA and Med Tech, working with the elderly and terminally ill, with a kind and loving heart and caring compassion was often held up as an example to others.

Among her many awards were: The Circle of Excellence Award in Recognition of Outstanding Performance from Valle Verde for 2001, the Certificate of Appreciation for 20 years of service to the Valle Verde Retirement Neighborhood on December 16, 2005, and the Certificates of Appreciation for her 5 years and 10 years of service at Samarkand.

Every person she met became her best friend. “A heart is not judged by how

much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.”

The Wizard of Oz She leaves a large family in South Korea and a half-sister, Eun Ju Song in New York.

A Year is a Day. A Day is Forever. In my quiet and solitude, she often comes to my mind. Song had a strong faith, was truly dignified, and kind-hearted while also being reserved. She had a joyous and gracious nature. She was a complex soul and I; Edwin Perales, was fortunate enough to be her friend, her roommate and her Life Partner for twenty-four years. It was my honor to know her.

I want to acknowledge a few of many of her beloved friends: Mr. David Back, Mr. Roy Handleman, Mr. Lad Handleman, Mr. NuNo A. deSena, Mr. Frank Hernandes, Ms. Rhoda Magllasang, Mr. Clore Magllasang, Rev. Jaiko Lee, Roxanne Zamarron, her longtime beloved neighbor Jeanie Schneider, and posthumously, Mr. Michael Stackpole.

Song’s belief in her journey with the Jehovah’s Witnesses was shared by the loving and comforting visits from Paul and Martha Ledesma, and Karlene Hays. Song said, “Jehovah’s Witness is the true path to God.” I wish to thank many caring people starting with the compassionate doctors and staff at The Ridley-Tree Cancer Center, and Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for their care of her during her long fight with cancer and the merciful, warmhearted doctors and staff at Channel Islands Post-Acute/ Alto Lucero Transitional Care where she stayed until her death under the excellent care of VNAHealth hospice, and finally, the Neptune Society.

Because of COVID 19, distribution of her cremated remains in Pusan, South Korea is still being planned as is her memorial for her loved ones and friends in Santa Barbara, CA.

To submit obituaries for publication, please call (805) 965-5205 or email obits@independent.com Ronald is survived by his wife Carolyn and by his children, Dana, Jan, and William; grandchildren, Milo Dubinsky, Daniel Meller, and Leah (Jake) Olins; and great-grandchildren, Oscar and Abe.

Barbara Dominguez Holguin 2/3/1929 - 4/15/2021 Born in Atlantic City, Ronald grew up in his mother’s hotel near the famous Boardwalk and worked as a lifeguard on the city beaches every summer until completing medical school at Temple University in 1953 – experiences that would inspire him to write three novels after retiring from his career as a psychiatrist at the age of 84.

In 1953, Ron moved to Los Angeles to begin his medical residency. He met Carolyn Vick at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, where she worked as a pediatric nurse.

With a first date at a car show, and another for a road rally through the streets of Venice, they then married in 1955 and embarked on an adventurous honeymoon, driving his Triumph TR2 as far as Acapulco. Ron then spent over 30 years working in Los Angeles, including psychiatric residency, research psychiatrist, and associate clinical professor at UCLA, director of the Frederick Douglass Child Development Center, and director of the Center for Urban Education at Mount St. Mary’s College, chairman of the American Montessori Teacher Training Program in Los Angeles, chief of Children’s Services at Central City Community Mental Health Services, and director of the psychiatric resident training program at Olive View Hospital.

In 1987, Ron and Carolyn moved to Santa Barbara, where Ron worked at Santa Barbara County Department of Mental Health, and considered himself fortunate to enjoy the camaraderie and support of his co-workers both before and after he retired at age 84. A lifelong aficionado of the pun and prodigious writer of scientific, educational, literary, and historical articles, he devoted his remaining years to writing historical novels set in Atlantic City.

Barbara Dominguez Holguin, 92 of Santa Barbara, passed away on April 15, 2021 in Santa Barbara. Born on February 3, 1929 at St. Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara to Paul and Mary Dominguez of Santa Barbara. Barbara was raised in Santa Barbara where she attended Elementary School thru High School.

When Barbara was 18 she met Frank Holguin and they were married a short time later. She was a stay at home mom until her youngest child was able to attend school. She then worked for the Santa Barbara School District as a Teacher’s Aide at Lincoln Elementary School and Roosevelt Elementary School. Barbara then began working at Santa Barbara City College as the Women’s Athletic Equipment Manager for several years until retiring. After her retirement she and Frank moved to Weed, CA where they lived for 16 years, eventually moving back into the area and settling in Solvang.

Barbara was an Elder Tribal Member of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. She loved to work in her garden, along with working on crafts and puzzles. She enjoyed fishing, going for long drives, watching the cowboy channel and watching wrestling. One of her favorite places to be was at the Chumash Casino. Most importantly Barbara loved to be with her family, whether it was watching her grandchildren play sports, going to barbeques, or just simply visiting with family. Being with family is what made her happiest. She was a strong, kind, generous

woman. She had a big heart and always put everyone else first. Even at the age of 92 she would give up her seat for someone else.

Barbara is preceded in death by her parents Paul and Mary Dominguez, husband Frank Holguin, son John Holguin, brothers Manuel and Robert Dominguez. She is survived by her children George (Esther) Holguin, Richard Holguin, Mary (Mark) Mazzoni, Polly (John) Sanchez; grandchildren George Jr, Denise, Tommy (Rose), Joe (Nicole), Melanie (Gardy), Jeanette (Ali), Anthony (Brett), Daniel “Mo”, Monique, Eric (Crystal), Keela (Scott), Brian (Britt), Barbara; 11 great grandchildren; siblings David (Sherry)Dominguez, Alex (Rose) Valencia, Richard (Barbara) Valencia, Carmelita Cordero also including many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Dr. Sim, Dr. Thorsell for all the great care they gave to Barbara. We also would like to thank Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital MICU for the loving care they gave Barbara in her final days. As a family we would like to thank our brother Richard Holguin for his dedication in caring for our mom for over 20 years. He always put her first and cared for her to ensure she had a long and happy life. The family will respect Barbara’s wishes and hold a private service.

Robert Manuel Carrillo 1/19/1936 - 12/12/2020

It is with great sadness that the family of Robert Manuel Carrillo announces his passing on December 12, 2020. He was born in 1936 to Lupe Echevarria and Manuel Carrillo in Ventura, CA. His father passed away when he was 7 years old.

His mother lovingly raised him along with her brothers. Robert (Bob as most of us know him) started out working in the fields throughout Santa Barbara County.

Bob attended Santa Maria

and Santa Barbara schools.

He was married at the tender age of 19 and fathered 3 boys: Jack, John and Robert Carrillo Jr. The three boys grew up in the Santa Ynez Valley, as their father worked for the Alisal Golf Resort. Many fond memories grew from living and growing up there.

Bob had many goals and many jobs throughout his years. His boys tagged along and remember helping him clean the wine bottles and vacuuming the old Solvang Windmill Restaurant as well as sweeping and dusting the Farmer Boy Restaurant in Santa Barbara. When the boys were growing up, one of his favorite things to do was give them the “Bowl Hair Cut” or the BUZZ cut. They still remember when the cutters hit the bowl near their ears.

In 1967 Robert packed the family up and moved to San Bernardino to attend Barber College and become a certified barber. Bob had a few jobs in San Bernardino cutting hair to make ends meet. In 1970 Bob packed up his family again and moved back to the Santa Barbara area where he eventually landed his dream job working for Danny Ramirez’ Barber Shop “Dannys” in Loreto Plaza.

Bob eventually, with great pride, bought his own shop in Goleta, CA. He later moved to a larger space a few doors away and then to the Costco shopping center in Goleta. Many great barbers and hair stylists worked with him throughout the years. Eventually he moved back to Ventura and opened a shop there. Numerous customers followed him to Ventura and he was always thankful for their loyalty.

Bob loved his barbering until the day he passed. There was a special warmth about him that endeared him to relatives and friends alike. Bob is survived by his wife of 41 years, Diane, his brother Alex Southgate (Debbie), his sons, Jack Carrillo, John Carrillo (Susie), Robert Carrillo Jr. (Donna), his step-son, William Toliver III, 13 grandchildren and 6 greatgrandchilldren. His mother preceded him in death. Robert, you are missed.

Danny Scott (Robert Daniel Scott) 4/6/2021

Danny Scott (Robert Daniel Scott), “Danny Boy” to most, passed suddenly on April 6, 2021 at the age of 59. Born in Detroit, Michigan, a diehard Lions fan “next year will be our year”. Since 1985 he lived mostly in Las Vegas and also resided in Santa Barbara throughout the years. Danny was a kick-ass bartender and welcomed you as a friend whether meeting for the first time or one of his many “regulars”, and always kept an immaculate bar and made sure you received a tasty drink in a spotless glass. He was one one of the funniest guys you ever met, his laughter was contagious and his repertoire of jokes was endless, if you could tell him a joke he didn’t know, he would buy you a drink! He was a “force” when he entered a room and would cause a raucous working the crowd, walking right up to anyone with “have you heard the one about…”

When not working he spent his time with the love of his life “Tiny” as he called Elizabeth Grinder, often referring to her as his wife & adored their little dog Mona “Baby Girl”.

Danny was loved by many, and will be truly missed everyday by Elizabeth, his parents William & Connie Scott, sister & brother-in-law Kim and Jeff Harris, nephew Zack Harris, niece Jessie Harris and so many friends and family that loved him.

“Danny Boy you touched so many hearts and quite a few livers, you were our laughter, we will miss you so much & love you always”.

Throughout Joanne’s time on earth, she learned early on how to be independent and responsible as she managed to rent her own apartment and be employed while still in high school. Needless to say, she made many friends who popped over to share her pad and party like there was no tomorrow. Whether she worked as an efficient waitress (locally Garretts and The Solvang Restaurant) , persevering hardware cashier, or diligent English tutor/college instructor (SBCC, CSUN, Ventura CC), Joanne maintained her purposeful demeanor with an upbeat personality that made others feel comfortable.

Even though she had to overcome several of life’s heaviest obstacles, Joanne maintained her zany sense of humor and generous soul.

In keeping with Joanne’s philosophy, let’s gather to share our fond, inspirational and musing stories for a unique woman who modeled a courageous and fighting life spirit to the end.

5/5/1955 - 3/9/2021

Joanne Martin, our beloved friend, partner, daughter, sister, Mom, Grandma, aunt, teacher, and colleague was taken to a better place during the early morning hours of March 9.

A timely celebration of her life will take place tentatively on her birthday, Wednesday, May 5 with time/place to be determined. Call/text Christina Hale for updated details at (434) 531-1952.

Joanne was born May 5, 1955 in Paso Robles, CA. She was the fourth child of six children born to Alice Bolinger of Paso Robles, CA, who survives her, along with her siblings Sharon, Kathy, Mary (Lee), and Michael (Megan). A brother Gary predeceased her in 1954.

Joanne is also survived by her boyfriend, Jim Anderson.

Joanne’s newest joy was the birth of her grand-daughter Dylan born July 2020 to Joanne’s daughter, Christina and husband Doug Hale of

Roger H. Davidson 1936 - 2021

Roger H. Davidson, of Santa Barbara, died suddenly on April 14. He had a long and illustrious career as a professor and author on American government, especially Congress and the presidency.

Professor Davidson was born in 1936 in Washington, DC, to Ross and Mildred Davidson. He spent his early years in Arlington, VA. As he was entering ninth grade, the family moved to Fort Collins, CO, where he graduated from high school.

He was a brilliant student at the University of Colorado, graduating with high honors and being voted outstanding senior

man. Fifty years later, at his class reunion, he led the class in its procession into the stadium.

He received his doctorate from Columbia University and began his teaching career at Dartmouth College. He moved to the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1968, where he served as chairman of the Department of Political Science and associate dean of Letters and Science. In 1980 he moved to Washington, DC, where he was a senior specialist at the Congressional Research Service.

He was also a visiting professor at Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, American, and George Washington University, and later joined the political science department at the University of Maryland.

In 1999, he retired, and with his wife, who was acquisitions editor at the Brookings Institution, moved back to Santa Barbara. He was active in local cultural affairs in Santa Barbara, serving on the board of the Architectural Foundation and Opera Santa Barbara, and on a committee of the Music Academy of the West. He was also a docent at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. In 2002 he was John Marshall Professor at the University of Debrecen, Hungary, awarded by the Hungarian Fulbright Commission.

Professor Davidson was the author or coauthor of numerous books, including Congress and Its Members, of which the 18th edition is about to be published.

He established the first opportunity for UCSB students to spend an academic quarter in Washington, DC, working as interns in Congress and other government agencies and interest groups. This was the precursor to UCSB’s popular UCDC program.

Roger was a loving and supportive husband to his wife, Nancy, of almost 60 years, and a proud father and grandfather of his sons Douglas (Victoria) and Christopher (Theodora), and his six grandchildren (Elizabeth, Thomas, James, Alexander, Emily, and Olivia).

Roger and Nancy shared a love of music and theater, but in particular they loved to travel.

They visited over 50 countries, on every continent except Antarctica.

A memorial service will be held when large gatherings are allowed. Gifts in his honor may be made to the Music Academy of the West, Opera Santa Barbara, or the UCDC Public Service Scholarship program at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

OPINIONS CONT’D

The Perils of Parking

W

hen my wife and I arrived at the Hot Springs trailhead on a Friday at 9:30 a.m., there was not a single legal space anywhere in the area. Every space on Mountain Drive either had boulders placed in it or No Parking signs. There was even a stretch of hundreds of feet with yellow tape. I am quite sure these boulders and signs are illegally placed by local residents.

Even the tiny number of “legal” spaces right at the trailhead are not legal. Our hike took three hours.

Those signs restrict parking to two hours.

The situation at the Tunnel trailhead faced similar battles over the years. But eventually there was a compromise that has worked relatively well, which was to restrict almost all parking to one side of the road. And to have a total ban on parking on red flag days of fire danger.

The difference with the two trails? Tunnel is a dead-end street with no other access. The Hot Springs area has far more access and no dead ends.

I would propose these changes:

1) Make Riven Rock Road one way downhill. Allow parking only on the right (downhill) side.

2) Residents on Mountain Drive have been placing boulders in the public right of way to keep people from parking in front of their houses. These obstructions need to be removed.

3) The tiny parking lot in front of the trailhead has absurd signs limiting parking to two hours. Most hikes take more than two hours. Those signs should be removed.

4) Additional parking areas should be created and designated. Just as there is at the Cold Spring trailhead and at the Tunnel trailhead.

5) Ban all parking on red-flag high fire-risk days.

No one should be hiking on those days, anyway.

I will add one more point: Literally thousands of vehicles from outside our area enter our residential Goleta neighborhood every hour of every day. Is there some reason we are treated differently than people in Montecito? —Robert Bernstein, Goleta

A Remedy to the Situation

F

or decades, Hot Springs Trail hikers parked on upper Riven Rock Road, but that parking is being eliminated.

Residents on Riven Rock complain of a seemingly endless number of hikers since the pandemic.

CHRISTOPHER WEYANT / THE BOSTON GLOBE

Letters

Hikers’ cars now go way down the road, including where it narrows to 18 feet. This creates a potential problem in the event of an emergency if cars are parked there: A fire truck is eight feet wide.

The residents voted to paint white lines on both sides of the road; under the Vehicle Code, cars parked over the line can be ticketed. The justification is fire safety and allowing room for emergency vehicles, which is very important.

After the white lines were painted in early April, hikers parked over the line, not realizing the problem. Cars with tickets on them still pose a problem Curator of Photographs, for emergency vehicles. A more effective solution Smithsonian, National Portrait Gallery would be signs prohibiting parking or painting the curb red.

So where are hikers to park? The trailhead can Revisiting “One Life: Marian Anderson” hold nine cars. Residents of nearby roads have Thursday, May 6 blocked the shoulder where hikers traditionally parked with rocks and private property signs.

3 pm Assessor maps indicate the public right of way for Mountain Drive is 60 feet. Are residents illegally using public property? Could the county hire a surveyor to determine the right of way and restore it?

Or create a new shoulder on Riven Rock to get cars away from the road?

Why not encourage hikers to carpool or bicyFree via Zoom, register at tickets.sbma.net cle? It’s easy to get to the trailhead with an electric bicycle.

Donations welcome.

Enough parking is needed for a reasonable William H. Johnson, Marian Anderson (detail), ca. 1945, oil on paperboard, amount of cars, one equivalent to the pre-pandemic Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of the Harmon Foundation. level. It’s not fair for the neighborhood to be overrun with too much traffic and parked vehicles.

But it’s sad that neighbors are being so un-neighborly toward hikers. One sign on Hot Springs, which happens to be a public road, says “No Hot Art Matters ad_APR22.indd 1 4/22/21 Springs Trail Access or Parking.” I wish the sign were replaced with one saying, “Welcome to our neighborhood. This is a public road, but hikers, please use the trail.”

here’s a certain lightness in the air, and it feels like hope. As the vaccine has rolled out more and more widely, those who’ve gotten the shot in the arm can venture to speak and laugh more easily with friends and strangers. We’ve come a long way in the past year.

“What will you do when released from COVID captivity?” we asked our readers, and they replied with stories of joy delayed, future plans aplenty, and images of their last get-togethers. What a relief to be able to look forward again.

It’s a new world — likely to still be a masked and careful one — but we’ve never been so happy to celebrate “normal”!

CELINA GARCIA

Just a few short months before the pandemic lockdown, my brother moved to Louisville. There are many places I’d rather travel once it’s safe to do so, but I haven’t seen him in over a year and a half! I’m so relieved my family and I have been able to get vaccinated. I’m one step closer to being able to actually embrace them. I’m Latinx — we’re very affectionate.

Before the pandemic changed everything, my college bestie had recently moved back to S.B. We went out on the town and ate bomb food and drank fancy cocktails at Cubaneo and then went and played games at The Cruisery. Somebody had a very adorable puppy I couldn’t stop petting despite everyone telling me to leave the poor dog owner alone, although he didn’t seem to mind.

ANA PAPAKHIAN It felt weird to start crying in the CVS makeup aisle, but the relief and joy after getting the vaccine couldn’t be held back! As the pandemic wore on, our family was so tired of cooking and cleaning that we invented “Fend for Yourself Night,” where you only have to figure out something to eat for dinner and not have to cook for the whole gang.

I work at Music Academy of the West, and on March 10, 2020, the Solo Piano Competition Winner Elliot Wuu (pictured) gave a recital. About half the audience we anticipated showed up, as we were near lockdown. I had no idea that would be my last live concert for over a year. Once this is over, it will be so great to go to a live concert, opera, ballet, play, lecture, or anything cultural again in person!

WARNER ANDERSON

Our friend Misty’s wedding at the Rosewood Miramar has stuck with me throughout the pandemic, as it was one of the last times we were able to get together with a large group of our close friends. A three-person New Year’s Eve party was definitely a break from the norm, but we made it work!

I got the vaccine more for my family, friends, and community than myself, because I want to be a part of the solution of getting us back to whatever was considered normal. But once that happens, I want to travel somewhere far away and then throw in a music festival on top of that.

DOMINIQUE SMITH The first thing my husband and I are doing now that we are vaccinated is the last one we did before the shutdown. We were on a trip to Costa Rica in March 2020, blissfully unaware of what was ahead. We’d had a wonderful trip in a spectacular country, with beautiful national parks and beaches, fun activities, good food, and very nice people — and came back home a couple of days before flights were canceled and airports closed.

What better way to close this difficult time, now that we have gotten our vaccines, than to go back to Costa Rica to visit our grandchildren 42

(and great-grands). Planning our trip did wonders for my gypsy soul. The hope of exploring the world again is what kept me sane during the dark months of 2020. My introvert husband supported Chaucer’s all by himself!

Getting the shot reopened so many possibilities; most important was feeling the anxiety of the past year start to diminish. Sometimes I think I want to forget 2020 ever happened, for it’s been frustrating, often painful, and hard on everyone. But it’s taught me a lot: about myself, my family and friends, our country, and the world. So maybe it served at least some purpose?

INDEPENDENT.COM

KAREN S. LYTLE By taking the vaccine, I’m helping the community stop the variants and protecting myself from COVID (cancer treatment reduces immunity). I’m going to my uncle’s 100th in Virginia and seeing my family once I can! Hugging will be sooo nice to do again!

I’m so looking forward to playing with my band for an audience and being with live music, but I’ve been jamming with friends outdoors rather than in my studio. Our last singer showcase was on February 8, 2020. I love producing at SOhO, which is now closed — but I have a live, no-audience recorded showcase I hope to air soon to raise $ for SOhO. The photo here (Lytle, left, and Brandi Redman) was an event to support my favorite venue, the Lobero Theatre. Miss that!

AMANDA MAFFETT Thanks to the wonderful folks at Cottage and my employment at UCSB, I am now fully vaccinated — huzzah! I feel safer in my daily life and protected from serious illness or death due to COVID. I also wanted to protect the people near me, whether it’s strangers at my local Dune Coffee shop or elderly folks out walking their dog. I want to protect my community as well as my loved ones.

Last year was my first time not visiting my family for Christmas, so my husband and I celebrated at home together. I cooked a whole Christmas feast as a distraction, and I realized what a pain the holiday cooking has been for my mom over the years.

I look forward to eating her cooking this Christmas.

In February 2020, I celebrated my niece’s 8th birthday with a fun hotel sleepover.

PAYGE BELLINI

To be “normal” is to go to a concert! Obviously, that will have to wait ’til more people are vaccinated, but that is what I miss the most. And my Grammy’s hugs! I can’t wait to get the vaccine so that I can be a part of the solution to keeping people healthy and ending this chaos. I’m the cautious one in my family, and we’ve just been doing the immediate-family-only, outdoors kind of holiday and making sure people were safe.

My fiancé and I canceled our wedding and decided to elope in October. We realized that big fancy gatherings aren’t our style, and we will likely keep a small, close-knit circle even after COVID. But the last thing I did before the shutdown was go wedding-dress shopping in San Luis Obispo with my mom, Grammy, and girlfriends, followed by a hotel stay and girls’ night sleepover party. We didn’t yet know the severity of the virus back in March.

powerofyourom: Host a prom dance party

TONI WELLEN We are “older folks” and have serious health issues. We were anxious to get the vaccine and hope everyone will eventually be vaccinated.

Normal means being able to have family and friends exchange visits, share meals, and celebrate events. We were able to celebrate birthdays and Thanksgiving virtually with lots of planning.

The second normal thing will be to have the house cleaner return and have all the windows washed!

anta Barbara has two very successful but very hungry college teams.

“It’s our turn,” said Ken Preston, speaking on behalf of UCSB men’s volleyball, a program that knocked on the door of the NCAA championship five times in the past 50 years but never broke through.

“We don’t want a stinking runner-up trophy,” said Ruth McGolpin, who took Westmont women’s volleyball to the brink of the NAIA title in her first year as the Warriors’ head coach but had to settle for second place.

Now, each team gets a crack at makTHE WARRIOR’S WAY: Westmont’s Lexi Malone, an all-conference ing history. Westmont goes first. The honoree who led the team in kills Warriors, who went 14-1 in a shortened room with Lauren Tsuneishi, the basketball team’s Golden State Athletic Conference season, are ranked No. 3 among 24 teams battling in lone senior starter, who won the Hustle Award at the NAIA women’s nationals this week at Sioux the championships.

“Lauren played with a fierce mentality,” Moore City, Iowa. The champion will be crowned on said. “When it’s your last shot, you go out and go Saturday, May 1.

UCSB won a pressure-packed Big West tourna- for it.”

UCSB men’s volleyball coach Rick McLaughlin ment last Saturday to earn a bid to the exclusive NCAA men’s championships at Ohio State. The sees the same intensity in his four seniors—setter third-ranked Gauchos will face Pepperdine on Casey McGarry, outside hitter Roy McFarland, Tuesday, May 4, the winner going to a semifinal middle blocker Keenan Sanders, and opposite hitter Randy DeWeese—who stuck around after matchup against top-ranked Hawai‘i on May 6.

Preston’s fingerprints are on both teams. He their 2020 season ended prematurely.

They breathed life into the Gauchos at crucial coached the Gaucho men for 30 years, including the 1988 season that ended with a five-set loss to USC in moments in last week’s Big West tournament at the NCAA final. He was Patti Cook’s assistant coach Hawai‘i. In the semifinals, they came back from with the Westmont women for an additional eight years, helping them go as far as the NAIA quarterfinals. Slowed down by Parkinson’s disease, he retired for good in 2018, his dream of bringing a national title to his hometown unfulfilled.

by John Zant McGolpin, who shared assistant duties with Preston, was promoted to Westmont’s head coach in 2019. It’s a dream job for the Goleta native, a three-sport star at Dos Pueblos High and a Hall of a first-set loss to Long Beach State, the two-time Fame volleyballer at Northern Arizona. She had defending national champion, taking the match by coaching gigs at NAU, South Carolina, and Colo- scores of 16-25, 25-17, 25-18 and 25-15.

That win seemingly assured the Gauchos would rado Mesa before landing back where she came receive at least an at-large NCAA bid, as they from. “I feel lucky being here,” she said.

Buoyed by their stunning run to the 2019 NAIA anticipated playing Hawai‘i in the final. But UC final, McGolpin’s Warriors had to wait through the San Diego upset the Rainbow Warriors, who were postponement of the fall 2020 season because of still an NCAA shoo-in—meaning UCSB had to the COVID pandemic. They got off to a 7-0 start beat the red-hot Tritons or its season would be in January but then had to go into quarantine for over.

San Diego continued its Cinderella run by winsix weeks when half the roster tested positive for ning the first set of the final, 25-22, and leading the the virus.

“We learned to be present with each other in every second, 23-20. The Gauchos teetered on the edge moment, live every day, and appreciate every oppor- of a crevasse.

Gardening

A Rose by Any Other Name I

love growing roses because they are a challenge. Often there is no rhyme or reason to what they do. They can be high maintenance and finicky, and their success or failure is dependent upon a “perfect storm” of weather, watering, fertilizing, disease and pest resistance, luck, and a little bit of skill and knowledge.

It’s a thrill when all of your gardening efforts pay off like lemons lining up on a slot machine. The rewards are grand, astonishingly beautiful, and often fragrant. Maybe if roses were easier to grow, the successes wouldn’t seem so significant and sweet.

Even though I care for many roses, I feel like I know and recognize each one as a friend. Not only does every variety differ in vigor, resilience, and performance, but individuals within a given variety can also vary.

I can rely on a ‘Julia Child’ grown in Montecito to have a sunny disposition and an abundance of butter-yellow blooms. Her twin sister over in chilly Hope Ranch may surprise me and have so much rust and black spot that she throws a tantrum and drops all her leaves.

I know that I may need to stand on a bucket to deadhead a ‘Princess Charlene de Monaco’ or a ‘Francis Meilland,’ because both are extremely enthusiastic and

by Randy Arnowitz very vertical.

All of my newly planted ‘State of Grace,’ ‘Burst of Joy,’ and ‘Big Momma’ roses have exceeded my highest expectations, and I enjoy watching their progress when I check in with them each week.

And did I tell you about my ‘Coretta Scott King,’ ‘In Your Eyes,’ ‘Honey Dijon,’ ‘Koko Loco,’ ‘Passionate Kisses,’ and ‘Marilyn Monroe,’ and how every time I go into my garden, I have to take yet another picture of my ‘Flutterbye’ as it changes from yellow to tangerine to orange to everything in between? I mean, how many pictures of the same rose does a person need? Seemingly, a lot.

To do well, roses need lots of sunshine, warm weather, adequate irrigation, and plenty of food. If you don’t keep them happy, they will disappoint. But even if you supply them with all of their basic needs, they sometimes fail to perform. Not only is this discouraging, but their optimistic, whimsical, and often romantic names can be misleading and seem to promise gifts that they’re sometimes unable to deliver.

For example, when I welcomed the popular yet temperamental ‘Double Delight’ into my garden, I soon began to address it as ‘Mildew Magic.’ I couldn’t resist the ivory pink hues of ‘First Prize,’ but after one gloomy spring, she turned into ‘Last Place.’ And finally, after being seduced by the strong citrus scent of ‘Chrysler Imperial,’ I realized that this Chrysler was just not so imperial.

All of this got me thinking, and so allow me to suggest some new, more appropriate names for a few popular roses for when you’ve done all you can do and your gardening efforts go unappreciated.

The Successes Are Glorious, but the Failures Can Be Major Bummers

May 2 Milpas Street Event Will Feature 28 Local Vendors

by Camille Garcia ence but also encouraged cross-cultural exchange and empathy, especially among women.

What they got was the Mujeres Makers Market, a pop-up market that showcases the work of local women of color, who range in cultural and racial backgrounds.

Once the team posted the call for participants in March, they received hundreds of applications, along with an “overwhelming sentiment of gratitude,” said Aguirre, event co-creator and owner of AURA, a handmade candle business.

“The other main sentiment was how Santa Barbara lacks representation of people of color,” she said, “and this is an event that is really working toward highlighting these vendors and giving them a safe space to share what they make, share what they do, and share their passions with the community.”

The market is slated for Sunday, May 2, from 11 a.m.4 p.m. in the parking lot of Big Brand Tire & Service on Milpas Street. It will feature 28 vendors from the Santa Barbara area selling a variety of items, including handmade jewelry, vintage wares, baked goods, bath products, ceramics, and more. There also will be music, snacks for sale, a photo booth, and a raffle.

“In today’s context, representation is so important,” said Jan Hunter, one of the vendors and owner of handmade jewelry brand UA Atelier. “As a Filipinaowned business, UA Atelier was born in memory of both my grandmothers.… I think they both would have wanted this business to thrive while also having the maker behind it all being recognized as a woman of color, the daughter of immigrants, and a proud Filipina-American.”

There are about twice the amount of white, maleowned businesses than non-white, women-owned

businesses in Santa Barbara, according to 2019 census data.

The Mujeres Makers Market organizers want to help address this disparity, said Muñoz, event cocreator and owner of Latin-American artisan shop Colibri. Having personally experienced barriers, such as expensive entry fees or long waitlists, to participate in pop-ups and similar events, Muñoz and her colleagues intentionally set a low vendor fee and encouraged first-time vendors to apply.

“It’s hard going into markets sometimes if you’ve never participated in one,” she said. “We want to give the underdogs the opportunity to participate.”

Their mission to foster and celebrate community has guided their process from the start. All five organizers—born and raised here—have witnessed their city change. Amid shifting demographics and growing costs of living, they’ve watched neighbors leave for more affordable areas and local businesses and cultural institutions struggle to keep their doors open.

Some of the women are from the city’s Eastside, an ethnically diverse neighborhood that includes people of Black, Indigenous, and Asian backgrounds. Hosting the market there is no coincidence, Muñoz said.

Milpas Street is iconic for facilitating business and culture, especially among communities of color. Even Big Brand Tire & Service, where the event will be, serves as a gathering space for everything from vintage car shows to the beloved Tacos Pipeye food truck.

Flores and Guillen, fellow event co-creators and owners of Sol Vintage y Mas and La Segunda Goods, respectively, want to pay homage to the area. “It feels like going back to your roots,” Flores said. “Milpas has changed so much,” Guillen said, “but I think the location we have is a perfect spot.”

Community markets have been around for centuries, but many have disappeared as cities, neighborhoods, and economies evolve. The Mujeres Makers Market team hopes their endeavor can stand the test of time and expand to include more vendors and offerings not limited by the size restrictions they’re facing in their first iteration.

“With how many people that applied, it shows that people really wanted this, and needed it,” said Ortega, event co-creator and owner of Ortega Vintage Goods.

For Chelsie Hood, a Black business owner from Santa Barbara, this opportunity to share her bakery business, Baked by the Hoods, is much appreciated—and long overdue.

“Centering events around safe places for women of color is a beautiful thing,” Hood said. “We need places to heal, speak, and learn from each other, with nothing but support surrounding us.”

With this shared desire, Santa Barbara locals Lili Muñoz, Leah Ortega, Maritza Flores, Daniela Aguirre, and Elysia Guillen collectively dreamed of creating a marketplace reminiscent of the ones they knew growing up: vendors selling their goods in English and Spanish. A live grupo performing over radio chatter in the stalls. Lines for raspados, fruit cups, and esquites that snake through the aisles.

These gatherings are at the convergence of culture and commerce, intertwined with vibrant colors, smells, and sounds. As Latinas, the women took this inspiration and reimagined it to create their ideal event: something that evoked a similar sensory experi-

MAMA LIDIA’S LEGACY: “Our purpose is for our family to keep traditions,” said Silvia Franco-Comer, whose mother’s recipes live on in reimagined form in Casa de Comer’s Smokin’ Good Salsas.

CASA DE COMER’S

FOOD & DRINK

Smoking Salsas Sean and Silvia Comer Craft Fresh Salsas in Goleta

BY MATT KETTMANN

T

he California story is syncretized in the origins

of Casa de Comer salsa, in which an immigrant woman from Tepatitlán, Jalisco, named Mama Lidia teaches traditional Mexican recipes to her new son-in-law, a white man of Irish descent raised in the San Fernando Valley. He can barely handle the heat, but enjoys the process of charring tomatillos and chili peppers on the comal and combining all of the ingredients into a condiment that’s used on everything from eggs at breakfast to chips ’n’ salsa at lunch to marinade for chicken dinner.

But given his knowledge of grilling tri-tip Santa Maria–style over red oak in that classic Central Coast way, the son-in-law brings his own flavor to the party. He figures out how to naturally impart those smoky essences into the salsas, and Casa de Comer’s Smokin’ Good Salsas are born. The name plays on the word “comer,” which means “to eat” in Spanish, but it’s really just the last name of founders Sean Comer and Silvia Franco-Comer, the daughter of Mama Lidia, who passed away a decade ago before seeing her reimagined recipes in official action.

“Our purpose is for our family to keep traditions,” said Silvia, who is the mother of four kids, ages 3 to 12, all of whom she’s homeschooling during the pandemic.

“Quality time with our family usually revolves around food,” she explained, to which Sean quickly added, “We’re always at the dinner table.”

“The salsa is part of that,” continued Silvia, who believes the smoke element fires up memories of campfires and family barbecues. “When people try it, they have reminiscences of their childhoods.”

The couple met in Santa Barbara, where Silvia had come to study at UCSB in the late 1990s and

Sean had moved to take care of his grandfather while working in the restaurant business. His jobs at Starbucks, Anchor Woodfire Kitchen, and various catering gigs led to the creation of a food truck called Street Level Café in 2012. It didn’t last long — the food-truck craze was short-lived in Santa Barbara due to lack of volume and unfriendly regulations — but the truck is where Comer perfected his tri-tip and tested out other ideas. “That’s where we validated the salsa,” said Silvia.

Fast-forward to 2018, and Casa de Comer’s fresh salsas are being sold at about 10 markets around Santa Barbara, including Tri-County Produce, Gladden & Sons, and I.V. Food Co-op. Then, in August 2019, as part of Silvia’s enrollment in SBCC’s Scheinfeld Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, they participated in a pitch competition — and won. Gelson’s agreed to stock Casa de Comer in all 27 of its Southern California grocery stores, tripling demand overnight.

“We weren’t ready for it, but we were able to hustle and scale from 10 stores to 40 stores,” said Silvia. They bought new equipment for their commercial kitchen on Aero Camino near the airport in Goleta and signed a distribution deal, and their product landed on those new shelves within two months. Most proudly, they didn’t change the ingredients or small-batch process despite the growth.

Though other ideas are in the works, Casa de Comer currently produces three flavors, which usually cost $6.99 for a 12-ounce tub. There’s the original, Signature Red, which they describe as bold and rich.

“The vegetables are filling, so people feel like that can have a meal of chips and salsa,” said Silvia. “It’s fulfilling.” The tomatillo-based Golden Green zips with a citrus character, and the Salsa Taquera Ahumada

packs the most kick. “It’s hot, but you can’t stop eating it once you start,” said Silvia. “You start to feel your nose running.”

All three show the smoke influence in varying degrees, but that doesn’t come from the use of liquid smoke, a curious ingredient often used in barbecue sauces. “It’s 100 percent natural,” said Silvia, who gets the liquid-smoke question a lot.

Though the pandemic presented the usual trials and tribulations for the young company, it seemed to trigger even more growth, as new customers found the salsas when other products were missing from the shelves. They’re facing some growing pains right now, needing more space and equipment to meet increased demands. “The stores are asking us,” said Sean. “They want new products.”

As the name implies, Casa de Comer is a full-family affair, with their four kids pitching in to husk tomatillos at the crack of dawn, wash hundreds of pounds of vegetables, package salsas, and serve as the faces of the brand on social media. “Instead of a lemonade stand, they had a salsa stand,” laughed Silvia, whose son Jude also started his own company, Hammer Head Hand Planes. “It’s taught them this amazing work ethic,” said Sean. “And we get to spend time with them, too, which is really awesome.”

There’s plenty more to do before Casa de Comer becomes a household item across California, but the Comers already feel like a success. “I honestly can say we’re proud of this,” said Sean. “Time is meaningful, and this gives us purpose,” said Silvia. “It’s okay to work hard because you feel satisfied at the end.” n See casadecomerfoods.com.

M

ost people don’t know how

special we are,” explains Libbie Agran, co-author with Heather Muran of the new book San Luis Obispo County Wine: A World-Class History. “I wanted people to realize there had been a long history of very talented people here, because Prohibition didn’t destroy our wine industry,” she said, pointing to the many pioneer families who still have ties to the region today.

“We have a consistency that most counties don’t have.”

The 190-page paperback — which is broken into numerous short but detailed chapters that go from the 1700s to today and are full of archival photographs — is the culmination of years of research that began when Agran founded the Wine History Project of San Luis Obispo County in 2015. She met weekly with vintners and other experts in the region’s agricultural history for a year; compiled a list of 202 significant people, places, milestones, and events; and worked for two years on a timeline.

“There was an interesting story to tell, and I was surprised that no one had written it, except in fragments,” said Agran. “We had to figure out who had shaped the history and what their footprints were.”

Muran, the former director of the S.L.O. Coast Wine Collective, came onboard in 2018 to help with the histories of South County hotspots such as Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande. “It’s like detective work,” said Muran, a San Diego State journalism grad whose dad was a detective for the LAPD. “As you start to unravel one story, you just keep going down rabbit holes.

BY MATT It’s hard to stay focused, KETTMA NN because there are so many ways you can go.”

Agran sees the book as the first in a series — she’s working on one about the county’s more than four dozen wine-grape varieties right now — and it’s really just a sliver of what the Wine History Project is up to. The nonprofit is producing and/or promoting a number of documentaries both short and long, showcasing the impacts of the Dusi family, Tom Myers of Castoro Cellars, and Tobin James, among others, now available to see for free on their website.

BOT & BATRLES RELS

Their office in downtown San Luis Obispo is home to a library of 500-plus books, plenty of tools, old labels, and wine bottles, as well as a growing digital archive that will one day be open to the public. (It’s actually open by appointment already.) In addition to roving displays at tasting rooms around the county, the project is also curating a rotating exhibit about wine history inside the prominent brick building of the Paso Robles Historical Society, located in that city’s central park.

“She’s really done a dynamic job of promoting the region’s history,” said Muran. “It’s coming full circle, being able to tie that knot between the past and the present.”

Agran believes her work can also have impact for the county’s modern wine industry, which is really split between those north of the Cuesta Grade in Paso Robles and those to the south in the Edna and Arroyo Grande valleys. “There was more communication between these two extremes of distance than there is today,” she said. “I hope I can help rebuild those connections.”

She’s not planning to stop anytime soon.

“There are a lot of stories to tell,” she said. “We would love to tell many more.” n See winehistoryproject.org.

THE I IS AN OTHER SHANA MOULTON’S ART OF THE ALTER EGO

A

rtists have long known the usefulness of having an alter ego, someone who, while they may occupy the same body as you, can manifest impulses that you prefer not to own in propria persona. Musicians love them — think of Ziggy Stardust, Sasha Fierce, Slim Shady, and Hannah Montana — and so HER SELVES: “Tower 1” by Shana Moulton do some visual artists. For example, there’s Shana Moulton, a pink tower. Over the course of the installawho just opened a show called The Invisible tion’s six-and-half-minute loop, we see video Seventh Is the Mystic Column at the Museum of Cynthia negotiating a stone labyrinth on of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara. Her the UCSB campus, pricking her finger on a character Cynthia (just Cynthia) has been pink spinning wheel, and ascending via the around since 2002, when Moulton began expanding legs of an adjustable desk through producing videos, installations, and per- the levels of the screens as though they were formances starring this solitary, wellness- one continuous space. This multi-monitor obsessed, mystical version of herself. In a magic trick proves something about Cynseries of videos named Whispering Pines thia that’s important to the whole enterprise: after the senior living mobile home park She’s real, or at least fictional in a way that in Northern California where she grew up, transcends the boundaries of any individual and in ancillary projects and installations, frame that tries to hold her. Through extenMoulton has elaborated an increasingly sive deployment of green-screen technolcomplex, fantastic, and evolving universe ogy, Cynthia flies through space and time, an where Cynthia performs a wide range of Alice in Wonderland figure whose gestures activities in pursuit of some elusive goal of echo those of Charlie Chaplin and Buster transcendence. It’s a brightly colored world Keaton. full of surprises that’s at once parallel to our In the large central piece, 2021’s “The own and distinctively out of kilter.

Invisible Seventh Is the Mystic Column,” The show at MCASB contains just four video of Cynthia is projected on multiple surworks, but within these multimedia pieces, faces while some of the objects in the videos visitors will find material for hours of rapt are arranged on either side of a freestanding contemplation. To the left as one enters the wall. As Cynthia works out with an isometspace, there’s “The Pink Tower V2,” a stack of ric band device or does breathing exercises, traditional flat screens housed in (what else?) background projections of mountains and

lakes alternate with geometric and matrix-like shapes.

Cynthia’s eccentric activities in “The Invisible Seventh” follow a general pattern: They start out purposeful and relatively familiar, then get progressively more resistant and weird. The isometrics give way to twirling the rubber band device, and the breathing exercises cause her to absorb the knickknacks that occupy her home shelves into her body, eventually requiring an operation that’s playfully made to resemble the old battery-powered children’s game of that name.

“Whispering Pines 10,” the longer video installation in a side room, is the show’s most ambitious work. At a little over 35 minutes, it’s a mini-opera with original music by Moulton’s collaborator Nick Hallett. Based in an oblique way on the famed redwood-tree sitter Julia “Butterfly” Hill, it’s a sprawling investigation of consciousness, spirituality, and the mystical effects of smearing your entire body with peanut butter. Like everything in Cynthia’s fascinating universe, “Whispering Pines 10” overflows with portents of some apocalyptic transformation, yet when she’s eventually devoured by birds (they’re attracted to the peanut butter), you get the feeling that she won’t be gone for long. This show is an outstanding example of the kind of thing that MCA Santa Barbara does best, and it’s a matter for rejoicing that the gallery is open again for in-person visits.

(America Never Was America to Me),

by Rick Benjamin

a riff-off of Langston Hughes but it was to you? & him, too? Who am I to say what was, wasn’t, or, for that matter what is or isn’t true? I will say nothing’s new, that freedom’s just for a chosen few, also that it won’t do, this promise long past due, & so many singing the blues, bop, Bach & Bessie too. You, me, then America will be.

UNTOLD: WESTMONT GRADUATE EXHIBITION Walking into the actual, ever-inviting art haven of the Westmont RidleyTree Museum of Art recently to behold Untold: Westmont Graduate Exhibition — my first step into a museum in a year and a month — was akin to visiting a friend after a lengthy illness: a warm sense of homecoming uneasily mixed with innate wariness.

Reminders of pandemic nervousness entered the picture quickly through fine realist portraits by Madeline Lush that chronicle ostensibly “normal” student life on campus — but with masks attached, natch. Deeper into the museum, amid a healthy diversity of voices and media, Daniel Staples’s graphic comic-style narrative deals with the historical mythology of the “Plague Doctor,” renewed and retooled for current COVID-19 realities.

Last year’s student show had to go virtual, whereas this year’s event, though limited, enjoys living in the material world. That “real space” factor makes a difference, especially with sculpture. Corban Bañez’s canny, money-themed blend of ceramics, plaster, and found objects and Caroline

Wyckoff’s installation of sculpted hands, from open to clenched, embedded in plants and nails both benefited from being seen in person.

Emily Bark’s “Daily Rites” screen prints celebrate surfing, as culture and as meditative practice, while Evelyn Thoen’s screen prints crossstitch memories and impressions of her time spent in Cairo. Sophia Gutierrez’s mixed-media collages nod to the influence of graffiti, but with subtle washes and poetic vapor intact.

Imagery varies greatly in the show, from Rachel Elliott’s mystical, hermetic oil portraits of endangered species to Charlotte Westburg’s Prismacolor odes to everyday tools. Valerie Angulo’s “And Then It Was Good” offers a

COURAGE OF ART: Panel five from the series “And Then It Was Good” by Valerie Angulo INDEPENDENT.COM

metaphorical tableau in seven panels dealing with her trauma following a rape in Bali.

Other works capitalize on the museum space. Elisabeth Lee’s digitally printed banners allude to “spiritual warfare imagery” in the Hebrew Bible, and Sharon Ko’s “The Undoing” fills a wall with video, photography, objects, and personae. Jared Clarke’s gentle tune “Footsteps” wafts through the museum as the soundtrack to Ceci Amboy’s simple tale of self-searching, rendered in painstaking stopmotion animation.

Great to be back, in an actual, art-packed “somewhere.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny CANCER

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Poet Allen Ginsberg despairingly

noted that many people want MORE MORE MORE LIFE, but they go awry because they allow their desire for MORE MORE MORE LIFE to fixate on material things— machines, possessions, gizmos, and status symbols. Ginsberg revered different kinds of longings: for good feelings, meaningful experiences, soulful breakthroughs, deep awareness, and all kinds of love. In accordance with astrological potentials, Aries, I’m giving you the go-ahead in the coming weeks to be extra greedy for the stuff in the second category.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): In her poem “Mirror,” Taurus poet

Halina Poświatowska wrote, “I am dazed by the beauty of my body.” I applaud her brazen admiration and love for her most valuable possession. I wish more of us could genuinely feel that same adoration for our own bodies. And in accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you do indeed find a way to do just that right now. It’s time to upgrade your excitement about being in such a magnificent vessel. Even if it’s not in perfect health, it performs amazing marvels every minute of every day. I hope you will boost your appreciation for its miraculous capacities, and increase your commitment to treating it as the treasure that it is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini poet Buddy Wakefield writes

that after the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami of 2004, “the only structure still standing in the wipedout village of Malacca [in Malaysia] was a statue of Mahatma Gandhi. I wanna be able to stand like that.” I expect you will indeed enjoy that kind of stability and stamina in the coming weeks, my dear. You won’t have to endure a metaphorical tsunami, thank Goddess, but you may have to stand strong through a blustery brouhaha or swirling turbulence. Here’s a tip: The best approach is not to be stiff and unmoving like a statue, but rather flexible and willing to sway.

(June 21-July 22): No educator had ever offered a class

in psychology until trailblazing philosopher William James did so in 1875. He knew a lot about human behavior. “Most people live in a very restricted circle of their potential being,” he wrote. “They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul’s resources in general, much like a person who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using only his little finger.” I’m going to make an extravagant prediction here: I expect that in the coming months, you will be better primed than ever before to expand your access to your consciousness, your resources, and your potentials. How might you begin such an adventure? The first thing to do is to set a vivid intention to do just that.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Someone in me is suffering and struggling toward freedom,” wrote Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis. To that melodramatic announcement, I reply, good for him! I’m glad he was willing to put himself through misery and despair in order to escape misery and despair. But I also think it’s important to note that there are other viable approaches to the quest for liberation. For example, having lavish fun and enjoying oneself profoundly can be tremendously effective in that holy work. I suspect that in the coming weeks, Leo, the latter approach will accomplish far more for you than the former.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo novelist Agatha Christie

sold hundreds of millions of books and is history’s most-translated author. While growing up, she had few other kids to associate with, so she created a host of imaginary friends to fill the void. They eventually became key players in her work as an author, helping her dream up stories. More than that: She simply loved having those invisible characters around to keep her company. Even in her old age, she still consorted with them. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because

now is a great time to acquire new imaginary friends or resurrect old ones. Guardian angels and ancestral spirits would be good to call on, as well. How might they be of assistance and inspiration to you?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “To hurry pain is to leave a classroom

still in session,” notes Libran aphorist Yahia Lababidi.

On the other hand, he observes, “To prolong pain is to miss the next lesson.” If he’s correct, the goal is to dwell with your pain for just the right amount of time—until you’ve learned its lessons and figured out how not to experience it again in the future—but no longer than that. I suspect that such a turning point will soon be arriving for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her poem “Every Day,” Scorpio

poet Denise Levertov wrote, “Every day, every day I hear enough to fill a year of nights with wondering.” I think that captures the expansive truth of your life in the coming weeks. You’ve entered a phase when the sheer abundance of interesting input may at times be overwhelming, though enriching. You’ll hear—and hopefully be receptive to—lots of provocative stories, dynamic revelations, and unexpected truths. Be grateful for this bounty! Use it to transform whatever might be stuck, whatever needs a catalytic nudge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I hope you’re not too stressed these

days. There has been pressure on you to adjust more than maybe you’d like to adjust, and I hope you’ve managed to find some relaxing slack amid the heaviness.

But even if the inconvenience levels are deeper than you like, I have good news: It’s all in a good cause.

Read the wise words of author Dan Millman, who describes the process you’re midway through: “Every positive change, every jump to a higher level of energy and awareness, involves a rite of passage. Each time we ascend to a higher rung on the ladder of personal evolution, we must go through a period of discomfort, of initiation. I have never found an exception.”

WEEK OF APRIL 29 CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): We can safely say that Anaïs Nin

was a connoisseur of eros and sensuality. The evidence includes her three collections of erotic writing, Delta of Venus, Little Birds, and Auletris. Here’s one of her definitive statements on the subject: “Sex must be mixed with tears, laughter, words, promises, jealousy, envy, all the spices of fear, foreign travel, new faces, stories, dreams, fantasies, music.” In response to Nin’s litany, I’m inclined to say, “Damn, that’s a lot of ambiance and scaffolding to have in place. Must it always be so complicated?” According to my reading of upcoming cosmic rhythms, you won’t need such a big array of stuff in your quest for soulful orgasms—at least not in the coming weeks. Your instinct for rapture will be finely tuned.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “One is always at home in one’s past,” wrote author Vladimir Nabokov. I agree. Sometimes that’s not a good thing, though. It may lead us to flee from the challenges of the present moment and go hide and cower and wallow in nostalgia. But on other occasions, the fact that we are always at home in the past might generate brilliant healing strategies. It might rouse in us a wise determination to refresh our spirit by basking in the deep solace of feeling utterly at home.

I think the latter case is likely to be true for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “Not everything is supposed to

become something beautiful and long-lasting,” writes author Emery Allen. “Not everyone is going to stay forever.” Her message is a good one for you to keep in mind right now. You’re in a phase when transitory boosts and temporary help may be exactly what you need most. I suspect your main task in the coming weeks is to get maximum benefit from influences that are just passing through your life. The catalysts that work best could be those that work only once and then disappear.

Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 5:00 P.M.

LOCATION:

Teleconference Meeting Given the local, state, and national state of emergency, this meeting will be a teleconferenced meeting (with detailed instructions for participation included on the posted agenda)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: The Project components include the following: 1. A General Plan Amendment (14-049-GPA) to remove a designation of Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) on the Open Space Map (Figure 3-5 in the Open Space Element of the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan) and on the Special Status Species and Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas Map (Figure 4-1 in the Conservation Element of the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan).

2. A Vesting Tentative Map (14-049-VTM) to allow the subdivision of the existing 17.36 gross acre (16.2 net acres) project site from 13 lots to 4 lots (2 lots for the Affordable housing complex, 1 lot for the market housing, and 1 lot for the public park). The subdivision map would also abandon two unused roads (Via Maya and Via Luisa).

3. Development Plan (14-049-DP) pursuant to GMC § 35-317 to allow construction of 332 rental units with associated recreational facilities. The rental units would be broken into two “neighborhoods” as follows: 104 up to a 100% supportive-units comprised of both senior affordable housing and family affordable housing units with separate recreational facilities; and 228 market-rate rental units with separate recreational facilities including a swimming pool.

4. Streamside Protection Area (SPA) buffer reduction in the northeast corner of the project site, varying from 0’ to 33’.

5. Vacation of portions of right of way and landscape easements adjacent to Los Carneros Road per Streets & Highway Code Section 8324 (b).

Also proposed is a two-acre neighborhood public park to be dedicated to the City in the center of the site and three above ground bio-retention basins including a 15,000 square foot bio-retention basin in the southeast portion of the site. The site would be served by three access points onto Camino Vista. Preliminary raw earthwork volumes are estimated at 178,000 cubic yards of cut and 15,500 cubic yards of fill and 115,000 cubic yards of export.

The project was filed by FLT Heritage Ridge TG, LLC in partnership with the Towbes Group of Towbes, LLC. In addition, the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara would be the developer for the supportive/affordable housing unit component.

Location: The project site is located in the Inland area of the City and is situated on unaddressed parcels located on the north side of Camino Vista between Aero Camino and Calle Koral Roads in the City of Goleta, Santa Barbara County (APNs 073-060-031 through -043). Access to the Heritage Ridge site is from Camino Vista Road. The 17.36 gross acre (16.2 net acres) Heritage Ridge site is bounded on its north by Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks, on the east by industrial buildings on Aero Camino Road, on its south by Camino Vista Road and Willow Springs II apartments, and on its west by S. Los Carneros Road/Overpass. The Project site had a General Plan land use designation of Medium-Density Residential (R-MD) with an Affordable Housing Overlay and had a Zoning designation of Design Residential (DR-20) prior to April 3, 2020. Since April 3, 2020, the property’s zoning designation is Medium Density Residential (R-MD). As the project was deemed complete prior to September 1, 2019, the development is being consider using Article III, Inland Zoning Ordinance.

CHANGES REQUIRING RECIRCULATION AND ORGANIZATION OF THE REVISED DRAFT EIR A Draft EIR was circulated for public review in 2016 and the administrative draft Final EIR was completed in 2018. Since that time, the project has been revised to include the conversion of the senior component to an affordable housing component (targeting low/very low senior and family residents), reduction in the total number of housing units from 360 to 332 units, changed the mix of units from market rate and senior units to market rate (228 units) and affordable units (104 units) for senior and families, and to provide increased right-of-way along Los Carneros Road, resulting in a building setback shift along this roadway. The affordable unit component maybe up to 100% supportive housing if necessary funding is secured. Finally, the application was revised to remove the request for a parking modification because, as an affordable housing development, the project would qualify for reduced affordable housing parking requirements in accordance with Gov. Code Section 65915.

These changes required revision to the EIR Project Description as well as updated analysis in the following issue areas: air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, noise, public services, transportation, and utilities and service systems. The proposed revisions to the project do not substantially change the overall development footprint or the project footprint relative to identified tribal cultural resources on the project site.

Moreover, since completion of the prior Draft EIR for the prior design iteration of the project, new regulatory requirements and updated CEQA guidelines and thresholds (updated in late-2018), as well as changes to the project-level environmental and cumulative setting in the vicinity of the Project have occurred. As a result of these changes, additional analysis of topics, including air quality, greenhouse gas emissions transportation impact (thresholds have changed from Level of Service to Vehicles Miles Traveled), energy demand, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire risk, were added to the EIR. Therefore, revisions to the prior Draft EIR are reflected in Section 2.0, Project Description, Sections 4.2 (air quality), 4.4 (cultural and tribal cultural), 4.6 (Greenhouse Gas), 4.9 (Land Use), 4.10 (Noise), 4.11 (Public Services), 4.13 (Transportation), and 4.14 (Utilities) of the Draft EIR. The cumulative setting/baseline has also been updated in Section 3.0, Related Projects. Further, new sections 4.16 and 4.17 have been added to the Revised Draft EIR in the areas of energy and wildfire, respectively, that were not included in the original Draft EIR. This recirculation also includes the relevant portions of appendices as originally contained in the Draft EIR and supplemented, as necessary, as a result of updates to the Project.

PUBLIC REVIEW OF THE REVISED DRAFT EIR The Recirculated Draft EIR is available for a 45-day public review period from April 29, 2021 to June 14, 2021. The Limited Recirculated Draft EIR is available on the City’s website at https://www.cityofgoleta.org/city-hall/planning-and-environmental-review/ceqa-review. Reviewers of this recirculated document should limit their comments to those that relate to the following chapters and sections of the Draft EIR that have been revised or added and recirculated: • 2.0 Project Description • 3.0 Related Projects • 4.2 Air Quality • 4.4 (Cultural and Tribal Cultural) • 4.6 Greenhouse Gas Emissions • 4.9 Land Use • 4.10 Noise • 4.11 Public Services • 4.13 Transportation/Circulation • 4.14 Utilities and Service Systems • 4.16 Energy • 4.17 Wildfire Significant and unavoidable project specific and cumulative impacts (Class I) are identified in the areas of; cultural resources (cumulative); noise (short construction noise impacts); and utilities and service systems (solid waste project and cumulative).

Potentially significant, but mitigable, impacts on the environment (Class II) are anticipated in the areas of: aesthetics and visual resources (building heights/massing compatibility & lighting); air quality (exposure of sensitive receptors); biological resources (nesting/foraging birds, indirect habitat impacts/ wildlife linkage); cultural resources (impacts on Native American Site #CA-SBA-56); geology and soils (liquefaction potential, expansive and erodible soils); and hydrology and water quality (alteration of drainage patterns/increased impermeability).
