Editor-at-large Ethan Stewart is no stranger to fans of this newspaper, having been a staff member and contributor for about 20 years now.

He’s never stopped writing, but he has become a nomad in recent years with his daughter, Sawyer, and wife, Anna, who is due to have another kid any day now.

“We rented out our house in Santa Barbara starting in January of 2017 and began a pretty hefty seasonal migration routine, split time between the coast of New England, the mountains of Montana, and good old Santa Babylon,” said Stewart, who wrote this week’s cover story about Renny Yater, John Comer, and their surf-history-art exhibit at the Maritime Museum. “Currently, we are hanging in the Bridger Mountains in southwest Montana. Huckleberry season is coming.”

A lifelong surfer, Stewart was pretty fired up to interview Yater.

“Look, Renny Yater is an absolute legend,” he said. “We use that word way too much these days but, in the case of Yater, ‘legend’ is a spot-on descriptor. His life arc very much connects the beginning of surfing in California to the modern-day madness that surrounds the sport.

His perspective is paramount and so rich with hard-won wisdom.

Getting to talk a little story with someone like that is an honor and a privilege.”

PUBLIC SAFETY Three motorcycle riders went down in three separate incidents last week, all fatal accidents that the Buellton Office of the California Highway Patrol is investigating. Among the victims were Miguel Angel Salas, 26, of Lompoc; Frank Butcher, 69, of Santa Barbara; and Peter “Ace” Angeloff, 70, a beloved science teacher and athletics coach at Laguna Blanca. Continuing the unsettling trend in motorcycle incidents, a stolen car pursuit on 6/28 in Carpinteria put a motorcycle CHP officer in the hospital. Full story at independent.com/motorcycle-incidents.

CITY City Council pushed through some two dozen interviews on 6/29 to select members for the State Street Advisory Committee who will be tasked with reshaping downtown’s iconic center by overseeing a master plan. City Hall received roughly 95 applications for the 10 open positions on the 15-member committee, and the council had already interviewed 19 people last week before Tuesday’s meeting. The council will make the appointments on 7/20. Full story at independent.com/state-st-advisory.

CANNABIS In the wake of a court order, and on request, the County Executive Office is releasing the applications and scoresheets of the teams that competed for five out the six cannabis dispensaries that will be allowed in unincorporated Santa Barbara County. The release of documents that had been kept under wraps for months was ordered by Superior Court Judge Colleen Sterne beginning 6/11, in a lawsuit filed against the county by Natural Healing Center Orcutt 405.

UCSB Way Behind on Building Housing Shortage Contributing to Regional Squeeze

by Tyler Hayden vidence of Santa Barbara’s extreme housing shortage can be seen everywhere—fastclimbing rent rates, a median home price that just jumped from $1.5 million to $2 million, and long commutes for those who can’t afford to live where they work. Efforts to address the scarcity also abound—higher densities, more granny flats, and new state laws meant to expedite development by limiting local control.

While the reasons are complicated and date back decades, the root of the problem is simple. There is just not enough construction of new housing supply to meet current demand. And here on the South Coast, there is perhaps no bigger contributor to the present-day housing crunch than our world-renowned university.

That revelation is contained in a searing June 18 letter sent by a coalition of community groups known as SUN, or Sustainable University Now, to UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang. SUN accuses UCSB and Yang of breaching a legally binding 2010 Long Range Development Plan in which the university pledged to cap its enrollment at 25,000 students through the year 2025, to build dormitories for the 5,000 students it planned on adding, and to construct 1,800 new units for its growing ranks of faculty and staff.

Since then, SUN says, UCSB has already exceeded its cap, built enough dorms to house only 1,500 new students, and provided a paltry 263 faculty units. A recent estimate suggests more than 14,000 people attending or working at UCSB now live in Isla Vista, Goleta, and elsewhere on the South Coast.

As a point of reference, the City of Santa Barbara managed to add only 500 units to its housing stock in the last five years.

“The University’s failure to comply with [our agreement] has resulted in significant and negative impacts on our County,” states the letter, which was written by SUN’s attorney, Marc Chytilo. “It has exacerbated the already dire regional housing crisis, increas-

BEHIND ON UNITS: There is perhaps no bigger contributor to Santa Barbara’s present-day housing shortage than its world-renowned university, which has repeatedly reneged on a 2010 agreement to build more units for students and staff.

ing the cost of housing and overcrowded living conditions throughout Santa Barbara County. It has also resulted in excessive amounts of commuting, causing congestion and compromising the quality of life for all residents of the County.”

Chytilo and SUN—composed of heavy hitters in Santa Barbara’s citizen watchdog community, including the Citizens Planning Association (CPA), Coalition for Sustainable Transportation (COAST), League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara (LWVSB), and Santa Barbara County Action Network (SBCAN) — demand that Yang provide them a detailed plan by July 18 for how the university will resolve its housing shortfalls.

The threat of litigation, while not explicitly stated, is heavily implied.

In response, UCSB spokesperson Andrea Estrada said this week that “while the University is not in agreement with the assertions contained in the SUN letter, we continue to make progress and are working through the requisite processes. The University remains committed to sustainability and to its ongoing efforts to develop and maintain sustainable practices and initiatives campuswide.”

SUN’s shot across UCSB’s bow, it turns out, was a long time coming. In November 2019, the group had first outlined its concerns, which the university acknowledged were legitimate. The two sides had enjoyed an amicable and productive working relationship dating back to the creation of the 2010 long-range plan, and Executive Vice Chancellor David Marshall said he recognized “the need to identify and communicate our path forward to deliver student, faculty, and staff housing.” But no pathway was ever articulated.

SUN backed off during the pandemic, but when they followed up with Marshall this March—as restrictions were lifted and UCSB announced students would return to in-person instruction in the fall — the group felt brushed off. “There are too many CONT’D ON PAGE 10 

No Voter Fraud at UCSB Dorms

T

he Republican Party for Santa Barbara County announced on Tuesday that the rumored 3,000 ballots sent to empty UCSB dorms was “not true.” The issue was raised by the Cole campaign at the turn of the year, and the charge was answered for county Republican leaders during a meeting with the Elections Division on June 17.

Charles Cole had campaigned for the 37th Assembly District, losing to Steve Bennett by a wide margin of 29 percent to 71 percent, or more than 50,000 votes.

According to Thomas Cole, who ran his son’s campaign, the precinct that held the dormitories had a 75 percent turnout rate, which he thought suspicious, as he claims some were locked and empty due to the pandemic.

The March 2020 primary saw 3,612 ballots mailed to UCSB dormitories, the GOP press release stated, but nearly all students had left the dorms by the time of the November general election due to the pandemic. Renee Bischof, deputy of elections for the county, explained to GOP leaders that the majority of students had changed their voting address by the time ballots were mailed in October. Only 122 ballots were sent to UCSB dormitories.

Bobbi McGinnis, who chairs the party in

POLITICS

the county, said the issue had taken on a life of its own after a local daily ran the allegation: “The Santa Barbara Republican Party got so many phone calls from literally across the country.” McGinnis had also visited the polls in November, talking with supervisors about the rules. And she talked with UCSB’s mail carriers, learning that only six ballots were returned to the Elections Division as wrong addresses, which she found reassuring. From what she’d seen and learned, “We felt we had to send a press release. … We wanted Santa Barbara County to know they had a well-run elections office and that their vote counts,” McGinnis said.

Cole was not at the June 17 meeting and continues to be dissatisfied; the Elections Division had let him know a recount was possible at a cost of $20,000, but he didn’t trust them for the job. The only way to know was to go over the ballots and account for every vote. “I’m not saying that I’m going to do it, because I’m not,” Cole said. “But I raised the alarm, and I was completely shunned.”

McGinnis also remains concerned for voter identification and verified signatures.

But in this election in Santa Barbara, “No candidate lost because of voter fraud,” she —Jean Yamamura affirmed.

the caveat that he be allowed to personally draft the designs. His blueprints currently feature suites of eight single bedrooms surrounding large common spaces. Most of the bedrooms, he has said, would be fitted with artificial windows modeled after portholes on Disney cruise ships. Customized lighting would mimic daylight.

Munger, 97, is a longtime business partner of Warren Buffet and has in recent years developed a sideline of sorts financing and constructing unconventional but highly efficient buildings at major universities. In 2013, he put $110 million toward a student housing project at the University of Michigan, which also lacked windows.

During a 2016 interview, Munger told the Independent the new UCSB dorms—a massive undertaking that could house up to 4,000 students—might replace and expand on the two-story Anacapa and Santa Cruz dorms near Campus Point. But sources with knowledge of the pending project said it is now more likely that an entirely new structure or structures will be built closer to the Harder Stadium side of campus.

For more than a year now, Yang has promised county officials that approval by the UC Regents is “imminent.” But those same officials—who have also historically enjoyed a good rapport with the chancellor—are running out of patience and note that even if the regents green-light the proposal, it still needs to pass muster with the California Coastal Commission. It doesn’t appear UCSB has any new housing plans outside the Munger venture.

“As you can imagine,” said spokesperson Andrea Estrada, “projects of this magnitude are extremely complex, and the University continues to navigate the process.” Representatives of Munger did not respond to requests for comment for this story.

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Munger declared that his UCSB vision for modern student housing “will be widely regarded as the best in the world,” even if he doesn’t live to see it completed.

“Now, I’m not going to try to die early just so that’ll happen,” he said, “but I’m OK with n it if it does.”

NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D

Montecito Elite Battle in Court

A

ngelo Mozilo, a wildly controversial former financier, is set to face off against American billionaire and Beanie Babies tycoon Ty Warner. This week, Judge Thomas Anderle issued a tentative ruling on Mozilo’s request for a temporary restraining order against Warner’s Montecito Club to prohibit the club’s operation of its Sports Complex.

Mozilo is no stranger to the courtroom.

He served as the CEO of Countrywide Financial, and his behavior while holding this title contributed significantly to the subprime mortgage crisis. After profiting greatly from lucrative trading practices, the SEC charged him with securities fraud and insider trading and fined him $67.5 million, the largest SEC individual settlement connected to the 2008 housing collapse.

The Montecito Club is directly adjacent to Mozilo’s home. In early 2021, the country club expanded its outdoor facilities by converting its sports court into an outdoor Sports Complex. This complex includes two pickleball courts, a basketball court, a beach volleyball court, a badminton court, a sledding hill, and baseball batting cages. The club did not obtain the required building permit for the Sports Complex and failed to obtain the required planning permission from the City of Santa Barbara, Anderle’s tentative ruling noted.

According to Mozilo, since the club’s reopening in April, the noise from the

*Terms and Conditions Apply

COURTS

Sports Complex has destroyed his ability to enjoy his home. Mozilo described the disturbance from the Sports Complex as “constant and extremely disruptive,” and he reported the noise has caused him stress and anxiety detrimental to his health.

Mozilo’s complaint states that the value of his property is “permanently and irreparably diminished by the continued existence and use of the unpermitted Sports Complex.”

Mozilo requested that the club stop all use of the Sports Complex until it would remove and relocate the facilities elsewhere on the more than 100-acre property.

Although the club agreed to take measures to limit the noise from the pickleball courts, they refused to close the complex.

Warner’s legal team argued that its mitigating efforts to limit the noise from the Sports Complex are more than sufficient. These efforts included sourcing and implementing noise-dampening equipment for the pickleball courts and restricting the hours of operation of the Sports Complex.

Judge Anderle’s tentative ruling grants the temporary restraining order requested

by Mozilo, who lives next door to the club, and schedules for December 14 an order to show cause as to whether the club can continue operating its Sports Complex.

PUBLIC NOTICE THE CITY OF SANTA BARBARA NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY AND REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS UNDER THE CDBG-DR MHP PROGRAM NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, starting Friday, July 2, 2021, the City of Santa Barbara will be accepting applications for grant funding under the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery/Multifamily Housing Program (CDBG-DR MHP) through the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The City’s CDBGDR MHP funding is intended to fund projects related to addressing the unmet rental housing needs in the City following the Thomas Fire, a federally declared disaster in December 2017.

Accessibility Matters

F

or businesses facing uncertainty in 2020 surrounding a global pandemic and the related stay-at-home orders, a key determining factor in their survival was location. Some who were lucky enough to have access to outdoor space, and funding, could provide outdoor dining in the public right-of-way in a “permit-less” process, virtually free of any regulatory oversight. Among the few caveats was the inescapable fact that all new construction and alterations must conform to all federal and state accessibility requirements.

The public right-of-way easement creates a responsibility that the city must ensure access is maintained for everyone under civil rights laws.

By removing regulatory oversight, our municipality seems to have effectively subverted California Building Code and Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements but may find that to be an untenable position.

The series of ever-changing guidelines issued by the city frequently contradicted state and federal accessibility requirements, but many restaurant owners completely ignored such guidance. Varying levels of awareness and empathy most certainly are factors in the lack of access, which should include ramps, access openings in perimeter barriers, tables —at least 5 percent of seating should be accessible to people with disabilities — and clear access aisles.

Legalities aside, most reasonable minds would agree that a policy of inclusion is the morally and ethically correct one. Anticipating a post-COVID future, we need to decide as a community what we want our downtown to look like, whom we choose to include, and how. Expanding the city’s existing Sidewalk Dining Program to include all dining in the public right-of-way would require more effort but would seem to be a natural evolution to provide a more equitable solution.

The disabled members of this community seem to be largely empathetic to the need for leniency throughout the crisis, despite being subjected to discrimination. As the world begins to celebrate a welcome return to normalcy, that empathy is waning, as disabled persons are realizing they weren’t invited to the party. It is becoming increasingly difficult to side with the plight of a struggling business that openly discriminates against you.

Whether the impetus of policy change comes from public outcry, municipal actions, or civil liti-

gation, we will get there. Inclusion is the inevitable outcome, and we’d all be better off if we can get there quickly and amicably.

Not a Subjective Smell

I

read the letter “Subjective Smell” in last week’s Independent. I strongly disagree with what Mary Perez of Lompoc wrote.

I live outside of Carpinteria city limits, where one cannabis greenhouse after another is lined up. And I smell cannabis every day when I drive into town.

As far as the smell from cannabis, let us be honest.

The smell is not subjective. It is real and smells like a skunk. The smell is also nauseating and nasty. It harms the health of some and certainly is not good for children.

As a concerned citizen, my main concern is the smell, as I am not against growing cannabis in Santa Barbara County. However, I do believe some areas have been over-burdened with the cannabis industry. And the main reason is money and greed.

—Diana Thorn, Carpinteria

The State of D.C.

H

undreds of thousands of people living in the District of Columbia are being denied congressional representation. And this denial is no accident. D.C.’s lack of voting power and representation is deeply rooted in racism. After the Civil War, white men in power didn’t want Black men to build power for Black communities by voting, so D.C.—where the majority of the residents are people of color — was a threat in their eyes.

D.C. residents couldn’t participate in presidential elections until the 23rd Amendment was ratified in 1961—just 60 years ago! And it took until 1970 for Congress to give D.C. a delegate in the House of Representatives, but this person cannot vote on legislation. Now, in 2021, residents still can’t control their own laws or their budgets through the local representatives that they elect.

We can change all of this by making Washington, D.C., the 51st state. It would finally give D.C. long overdue representation in Congress and begin to unravel the harmful, racist laws of our country’s past and present.

I’m urging my senators to support making D.C. a state as soon as possible. —Ann Dusenberry, S.B.

obituaries Edward Tafoya

6/1/1933 - 6/2/2021

Edward Tafoya passed away on June 2, 2021 at home at the age of 88. Edward was born on June 1, 1933 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was the middle of three children. He graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Albuquerque then pursued advanced degrees in religious studies (a B.A. and M.A.) from Spring Hill College, Louisiana. After graduate school, he began his lifelong career as an educator and served for a time as Dean of Students at the University of California San Diego before pursuing a PhD. He later taught high school English, Latin, and Spanish.

In 1974, Edward and his wife, Elvira, moved to Santa Barbara for Edward to pursue a Ph.D. in Religious Studies at UCSB with Raymundo Panikar. For his studies, Edward learned to read Greek and Latin to better understand the great philosophers and religious leaders of the past. He insisted that accessing religious texts in their original languages brought him closer to authors and to the spirit of God. Although deeply academic in his studies, Edward was also the house Master of Trivial Pursuit. He was a loving father, a witty orator, a scholar of 14

theology and philosophy, a devout Catholic and an all-around consummate educator.

In the last years of his life, he enjoyed being with his family, eating paletas, and holding your hand. His daughters provided for his personal care the last few months of his life.

In retirement Edward reveled in caring for his two grandchildren, taking them on daily visits to Chase Palm Park and the Santa Barbara Zoo. On his last visit by train to his hometown of Albuquerque and Santa Fe he reminisced fondly of his childhood, of swimming in the Rio Grande River and watching his Aunt make Lemon Meringue Pies just for him. His life was spent deep in religious texts and prayer. He loved to talk and to laugh and he will always be remembered for sharing joy over long family dinners and deep conversations.

Edward is survived by his wife Elvira, two daughters; Gabriela Dodson and Xóchitl Tafoya, and their spouses; Steve Dodson & Nicole Koger as well as his beloved grandchildren Ysabella and Eddie Dodson.

He is also survived by his elder sister, Stella Tafoya Leikem who lives in Houston Texas.

A funeral mass will be held for Edward on Friday, July 9th at 11 am at the Old Mission Santa Barbara. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Friends of the Eastside Library in Santa Barbara.

Katrina Biddle Kujan 6/21/1963 - 5/31/2021

Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Watt, age 79, of Goleta, CA, passed away on Sunday, June 20th, 2021.

Born August 13th, 1941, while her father served with the U.S. Navy in the Philippines. When the war broke out they were captured and separated.

Her father survived the Bataan Death March and was a POW for the rest of the war. Betty went with her mother and sister to Manila, where they were prisoners of the Japanese at the Santo Tomas Internment Camp. When the U.S. Forces liberated the camp, a soldier gave her a Hershey’s candy bar.

She loved chocolate ever since.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Conrad Watt Jr., who passed away in October 2020. Conrad was her next-door neighbor and high school sweetheart. They both attended Venice High School and moved to Goleta to raise a family. Betty is survived by her four children, Brian, Carolyn, Greg, and Phil, with seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

For over 40 years she owned Betty’s Flowers, providing arrangements for weddings, receptions, and countless high school dances – always at a reasonable price. Betty was a longtime member of the Orchid Society of Santa Barbara, entering her displays and arrangements in the International Orchid Show. In recent years, she displayed orchid-inspired artwork.

Katrina Biddle Kujan, 57, died peacefully in the presence of her loving family at their home in Montecito, California, on Memorial Day, May 31, 2021.

Katrina (Trini) was born in Philadelphia, PA on June 21, 1963 to Jack Fiedler and Mary (Polly) Griscom. Her family moved to New Haven, CT in 1966, where she attended Foote School and Hopkins Day Prospect School. She achieved her BA with Honors in History from Goucher College, 1985, and received her Master of Social Work from Columbia University, 1991. She worked fulltime at United Illuminating, while attending graduate school.

In 1991, Katrina moved to Los Angeles, CA where she began her 30 year career in social work. As she would say, she was a born social worker. She held various positions providing mental services in medical and psychiatric environments, hospice care and private companies.

She ended her career at CA Commercial Investment where she managed over forty service coordinators nationwide, most of whom viewed her as a “Mama

Bear” and a role model.

Beyond her professional career, she lived to give to others and causes. As a child and young adult, she would always champion the underdog. In the early 90’s, she facilitated support groups for Aids Project Los Angeles, during the emergence and height of that epidemic. Within the last decade of her life, she facilitated support groups for women with breast cancer, eventually helping establish a group called Sisters in Strength, focused on women with metastatic breast cancer. Katrina walked dogs for the Humane Society, fostered kittens for ASAP, delivered pastries to Veterans for Peace, tutored underserved children, taught Sunday school and volunteered at her daughters’ grade schools, these being only a few of the countless acts of giving throughout her life.

Her life’s mission was to make the world a better place.

Katrina was a deeply devoted wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. She married Dave Kujan in 1994, and they had two children, Mary and Laurel, who provided her immeasurable pride and joy.

She possessed immense internal strength, an infinitely courageous spirit, and a love-giving essence. Blessed with a keen intellect, she loved to learn and teach with equal enthusiasm. She was a truly unique individual who viewed the world differently and was a natural “connector”.

Despite Katrina’s courageous 13 year battle with metastatic breast cancer, she never let the disease define her. She possessed a beautiful

smile, infinite positivity and true “joie de vivre”.

She found great pleasure in music, singing and just playing. All of whom were fortunate to experience Katrina’s love will deeply miss her faithful and treasured presence.

Succeeded by her husband Dave, daughters, Mary and Laurel, parents Mary (Polly) Griscom and Jack Fiedler, sisters, Georgia Griscom and Alexandra (Ali) Fiedler, and brother, Jon Fiedler.

Family and friends are invited to attend a celebration of life gathering on Saturday, August 7 between 1pm-3pm at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara, California. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Planned Parenthood of California Central Coast or Wildlife SOS. Chuck Constantine Caroulis 12/6/1962 - 7/7/2020

Chuck passed away peacefully at Serenity House in Santa Barbara, CA on July 7, 2020 of natural causes at 57.

Born on December 6, 1962 to Elizabeth (dec) and Charles Caroulis in Upper Darby, PA. He had 5 siblings, George Caroulis (dec), Theodora Knight, Elizabeth French, Kathleen Caroulis (dec), and Katherine Mariotti.

Words cannot express the sadness shared by our family in the loss of our son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. Chuck, or as he later, playfully referred to himself as, INDEPENDENT.COM

Constantine, was taken from us too soon. He was an accomplished athlete in cycling, swimming, an ironman and marathoner, and proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force.

A common sentiment shared among family and friends stated the adventures and moments with Chuck have been some of the best times of their lives.

While Chuck lived an adventurous life, he also had a practical side where he worked hard, invested wisely and saved. He left a legacy to his family and his business name, C&L Heating & Air, continues to this day, run by his niece and her husband.

We’ve received an outpouring of love from his family, friends and clients. He was part of the fabric of Santa Barbara for many years. To quote one of his clients, “We could always rely on him, even during fires, mudslides and Covid19. Everybody was crazy about him”. It’s a comfort to know Chuck was loved and held in high esteem by so many people in all walks of life.

Due to Covid-19, an intimate blessing ceremony was held shortly after his passing with his family members and close friends. We are forever grateful to Serenity House for their excellent care and blessings. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to Serenity House via VNA Health.

Love to all, The Caroulis Family

Kathee Marie Christie

William Charles Kaska, beloved husband, father, and grandfather died May 31 from complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. Bill was born in the Panama Canal Zone, the first child of Albert and Jessie Kaska (nee Gaskin). The jungles, the Panama Canal and the military activity during WW II surrounding this strategic area were memories he cherished.

He attended Canal Zone schools and graduated from Balboa High School.

After receiving his Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Michigan and a year of post-doctoral research at Pennsylvania State University, he joined the chemistry faculty at the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1964. He and his wife Debbie Drew made their home in Goleta for the next 57 years raising 4 children, teaching, traveling, and living around the world. He especially enjoyed his graduate students and his many friends and colleagues who shared his passion for Chemistry. Bill retired from the University in 2004. He is survived by his wife, Debbie, his son Serge, his daughters, Kathleen Perez (James), Marya Darabont (Tibor), Kristin Woolley (Douglas), and seven grandchildren. Services will be private.

The family would like to sincerely thank Marina Morales for years of dedicated caregiving, Abundant Care, an exceptional residential home, Assisted Home Health & Hospice, San Roque Church and Karen Aldenderfer from the Alzheimer’s Association of Santa Barbara and our Maravilla group for their invaluable support.

Kathee Marie Christie was born in Kansas on 12/18/1957. She passed away in Lompoc California on 5/25/2021.

She attended grade school at St Joseph’s, followed by Shawnee Mission North High School.

Afterwards, she went to the University of Kansas, to study art, and later studied improv comedy in L.A with the Groundlings.

Kathee had a variety of careers while following her inner compass. Her first dream was to become an improv comedian because she loved to make people laugh and had an amazing wit. She finally found her vocational passion with working outdoors by getting into the landscaping business after earning a certificate in Environmental Horticulture at Santa Barbara Community College. And for many years worked at Steve Hansen Landscaping as Director of Maintenance.

True to her spirit she was always the artist. Having participated in many art shows both in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara She would spend days and hours thinking about what she would paint. Her inspiration being the outdoors.

She belonged to the Santa Barbara Art Association and the Santa Barbara Mesa Artists Group. Her work could be very colorful and inspiring or reflecting her thoughts about the times we lived in.

She was always a positive influence on children, any who crossed her path she would take them under her wing. Kathee is adored by all the nieces and nephews, and her passing leaves a big hole in the family. Her love for dogs, cats and all wild-

life was apparent as she always left food for birds and raccoons as if they were her own pets. Kathee was also an avid reader and always had a book at her side. She loved history and traveled to Europe to visit many of the places she read about. She was also an avid baker of cakes and cookies and an amazing cook.

Kathee is survived by her spouse Joyce Fryer, her parents Bill and Irma Christie, sisters Nancy Chalmers and Sharon Gidumal, and brothers Joe Christie and Michael Christie. Her passing leaves an unfillable (or vacant) hole in the Christie and Fryer families.

In her final days, she was surrounded by family and friends. Kathee will always be a beacon of light for us on the other side and will be forever missed.

A celebration of life gathering will be held on July 16 th between 1-4pm at the Santa Barbara Veterans Memorial Building.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to: Visiting Nurses Association of Santa Barbara/Community Pallative Care.

Judy Pearce

8/5/1941 - 9/14/2020

Judy was born on August 5, 1941. She grew up on her family’s homesite next to the Miramar Hotel which was purchased in 1907 by her great-grandparents. Her fondest memories of growing up in Montecito include taking off in a plane from the lawn of Bonnymeade, and riding her horse from her home to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School. In the early 1950s, Father Cook built a corral so that she and

her best friend, Bunny Schmitter (now Smith), could have their horses safely and comfortably waiting for them to get out of school. Judy said that one of the best views in the world was looking between the ears of a horse while riding down a quiet Montecito trail. As teenagers, Judy and Bunny were often riding their horses over the mountains and camping at Pendola and various other locations in the backcountry. They could also be found riding their horses into the ocean for a swim, participating in gymkhana events, and occasionally as riders in ostrich races.

Judy’s first participation in the Old Spanish Days parade was in 1946 at age 5. In her youth she rode her horse down a torch-lit canyon for the Fiesta ceremonies held at the County Bowl. She spent a lifetime sharing the Fiesta experience with family and friends by providing costumes to countless numbers of people each year. For the very fortunate she offered entry with her into the parade where she was always found on horseback in a dress she made herself. She loved confetti and used it to recreate her childhood memories of Leo Carrillo sprinkling confetti from his horse along the parade route.

One cannot envision Judy without seeing a flower in her hair. It began in 1968 when her horse, Jingles, took a bite out of her favorite daisy bush at home. She placed the daisies in the horse’s mane and bridal, and in her own hair. As she rode down East Valley Road she encountered her brother, Owen Guitteau, who commented, “Here comes my sister, the flower child.” She decided he was right and wore a flower every day from that point on.

Judy was a highly respected horsewoman,

local historian, and writer. Her writing career began in 1984 with a weekly equestrian column in the Santa Barbara News-Press which continued through 1987.

She was a regular contributor to Montecito Magazine, and Montecito Journal. Through her astounding memory of details and dates, and her relationship to so many long-standing families in Montecito and Santa Barbara she was a valued source for many local historians.

Friends were always welcomed into her home, and most became family. While raising her own children she often took on “extra” kids for extended periods of time.

She loved to cook and often would go into her garden to gather the ingredients for a given meal. Her homemade bread was legendary. It did not matter if it was a Monday or a holiday, if a person was at her house at dinnertime, they were more than welcome and strongly encouraged to stay. She moved through the world with love, truly supported her loved ones in the choices they made, and embraced diversity.

She touched many people with her uniquely bright spirit. As a friend once wrote about her, “She is the last one barefoot and dancing, ...forever with a flower in her hair.”

Judy passed away peacefully at home in Carpinteria on September 14, 2020. She had been undergoing treatment for cancer for nearly a year. Her husband, Steve, was holding her hand when she took her last breath.

Judy is survived by her husband Steve Pearce; her children Kathy Gregory, Tom Poulos, Karen Latter, and Sara Killen; her brother Owen Guitteau; and eight grandchildren.

those early years, and so his youth is better documented than many in a series of charming vignettes, always captured with that smile we all knew and loved. There is also a photo of him at a very tender age, dressed as a cowboy, with a plastic Mickey Mouse guitar. Not only one of the most delightful captured memories, but possibly the most prophetic ever.

The crucible that was the Hurricane Band took our individual talents to incredible levels, and, because the foundation of that music was the driving, powerhouse mandolin, Jeff was free to develop a rhythm style that explored patterns and voicings, danced his way through the chords, and accented the rhythm instead of just laying it out. This served him well. Many rhythm guitarists and solo guitarists never get so adept or so expressive. He also learned to sing, very well, and then began to write his own songs, beautifully constructed pictures of life that moved you and stayed with you.

After that band moved on to other colleges and towns, Jeff turned his attention from the reggae and rock ’n’ roll we played so much of, and excelled at picking out the best of the best from the country music that he truly loved.

His distaste for the dreck available on the jukebox, when so much incredible music was available, was well-known.

There’s so much more, such as the time he insisted that his birthday party be at a Dodgers game, and we piled into every available car and drove to Los Angeles.

I’m sure every one of you reading this is polishing a treasured moment in your memories of him right now.

And I know that we already miss him more than n we can say.

met Jeff Levy at the bus stop in Isla Vista, in 1976, with Scott and Alan, the afternoon that they ran into each other and played together for the first time. It was the first time I tried out the tub bass.

I had seen them all at events, such as the Ecology Action potluck meetings, but we didn’t really know each other before that day. After many hours of tunes, as we packed up, Scott said, “So, are we gonna be a band, or what?” and we were a band.

So, first, we were bandmates, and then we became friends, which is, I believe, what happened with anyone and everyone who met Jeff. They became his friend. That was what he was like, more than anything else. He had over 1,400 friends on Facebook

California Surfing Shaper Renny Yater, Artist John Comer, and Others Showcase History at Maritime Museum

and week that typically offers a reckoning of some sort. The phone rings once. Twice.

I start considering the absurdity of my task: coldcalling a man in his 90th year on the planet on his “work phone” before 9 a.m. on a Monday. There is no way he is answering.

But, before the third ring is done, the line clicks and a voice picks up, strong and clear with a touch of gravel: “Morning. Yater Surfboards.” There is no feigned pleasantry in the greeting. Zero bullshit.

I know immediately who I am speaking with, but respect demands a certain tact. Inquiring about the man who has been commercially shaping surfboards longer than anyone else alive, I ask, “Is Reynolds Yater there, please?”

A simple “Yeah” fires back at me, landing like a challenge. It is followed by an extended silence that speaks volumes — there is no room for pomp in this exchange; there is work to be done.

LEGENDS HONORING LEGENDS

A historic art show is currently hanging on the walls of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Just a stone’s throw from the still waters of the harbor, the lifeblood of a sport and the underpinnings of a culture have been laid bare for all to celebrate. It is the origin story of surfing in California.

Told by foam and fiberglass and paint, it is also the story of

how modern beach culture was born along our coast.

Indeed, there would be no beach blanket bingo as we currently know it if not for the pioneering misfits that first started sliding waves more than a century ago on our side of the Pacific.

Nearly 15 years in the making, the show, officially titled Heritage, Craft & Evolution: Surfboard Design 1885-1959, is a collaboration of the highest order among a small group of aged surfers, all of whom happen to be world-class artists. At the helm of the effort is Santa Barbara’s Reynolds Yater, a man uniquely prepared for the task.

“The point of this whole thing is to give respect to those who made the sport of surfing what it is today, to honor the people that were there in the beginning,” explains Yater. “Surfing created the beach culture in California, but I’m not sure young surfers today know that. It’s important to remember how that happened.”

To be clear, Yater, known ubiquitously as “Renny,” is an undeniable legend in the surf world. His bona fides are peerless at this point, with a résumé that directly connects the nascent days of the once-fringe sport to the billion-dollar and beloved mainstream industry that it has become today.

Born in Los Angeles in 1932, Yater has been “doing stuff with surfboards since I was in diapers.” His first board was a used 10-foot wooden plank weighing over 75 pounds, ridden in the shorebreak at

POINTS OF JOY: Yater (left) and Comer check out a couple of their finished surfboards, which depict important surf breaks from around California. The exhibit also celebrates history, such as the early days of Yater’s career (below).

Yater relocated to Santa Barbara in 1959 and has called it home ever since. Something about our collection of cobblestoned, right-hand point breaks will do that to a regular foot. The fishing in the channel was equally magnetic for the young man from Laguna Beach.

Yater Surfboards opened its doors that same year on Anacapa Street but bounced around in the decades since, making stops in Summerland as well as on State Street, Gutierrez Street, and Gray Avenue. Models like the Yater Spoon, the Pocket Rocket, and the Nose Specializer made Yater a sought-after shaper for many of the world’s best during the halcyon days of the sport in the 1960s and ’70s. Regular customers included royalty of the sport, including Miki Dora, Joey Cabell, Kemp Auberg, John Severson, and Bruce Brown. A Yater board, and one of his Santa Barbara Surf Shop logo T-shirts, famously made an appearance in the film Apocalypse Now thanks to Robert Duvall’s character.

surfboards for customers who know the timeless value in getting a board from a master. The wait list is long. Yater started shaping before the advent of electric hand-tools and now works in the age of boards shaped more by computer software than by human hand. He has worked with all manner of wood and foam and has had a front-row seat for every change, big or small, in surfboard design from the very beginning. His life story has run concurrently with the story of surfing. There aren’t many left who can say the same. In fact, there might not be any at all.

Double Feature

ORIGINS OF AN ART SHOW

As originally conceived, Heritage, Craft & Evolution was an art show meant for another time and place. In the early 2000s, Yater partnered with a relatively underground fine artist named Kevin Ancell to make a series of high-end, balsa-wood surfboards laminated with abalone inlays in the fiberglass. Ancell was a rough-around-the-edges character from the extended surf world with some major league art chops.

From oil paintings to sculptures and wood carving, Ancell’s art runs along a diverse spectrum that is all its own. A hyperrealistic and heavily symbolic oil painting of Jesus healing the kooks of the world slots in right next to a robotic mannequin hula dancer with a machine gun.

He is a weird wizard of his own making, and his collab with Yater was exceptionally potent. Their first show in West Los Angeles sold all eight boards that they offered, each one going for many thousands of dollars.

“That was a rewarding experience for me on a lot of levels,” recalled Yater. “We really stumbled onto something.”

The duo set to thinking about what they might do next together, deciding to make more collectible, art-minded surfboards. They wanted to celebrate the “wood era” of surfing in California, when redwood, pine, and balsa boards were the norm—a time when surfing-as-industry was a laughable notion. They wanted to follow the evolution of the sport

BEACH CHUMS: Yater and Comer hope the exhibit helps younger generations realize how integral early surf culture was to the rise of California’s globally renowned beach lifestyle.

in California from its introduction in 1895 through to the end of World War II via the lens of surfboard design and specific surf spots that made it all possible.

Ancell suggested that they bring in a third artist to fully realize the concept, a pleinair painter with roots in the 805 named John Comer. The idea was to have Comer come into the board-making process and paint landscapes of specific surf breaks on the boards to better capture the moments being celebrated. Yater was in full support, so the seeds were sown for an exhibit that, unbeknownst to them at the time, wouldn’t bloom until nearly two decades later.

“I was stoked just to be asked,” said Comer of his role. A longtime member of Santa Barbara’s fabled Oak Group and former studio mate of the late Ray Strong, Comer, who currently has a solo show hanging at the Santa Barbara Museum of Contemporary Art, has been friends with Yater for the better part of the last 50 years. He even worked a few seasons on Yater’s commercial fishing boat back in the day.

“Both those guys are experts at what they do,” said Comer. “As soon as they explained the idea to me, I was in.”

The plan was to build out a collection of boards, each shaped by Yater to match the style of the moment being remembered.

Ancell would then use paint to painstakingly transform the white foam into visually exact replicas of whatever wood material the boards were originally shaped in, at which time Comer would paint a landscape on the deck, memorializing a specific surf break.

The first three created offered quite an introduction to the eventual eightboard collection: an early 1930s Tom Blake paddleboard with faux redwood and metal rails and a vignette oil on gesso painting of Palos Verdes Cove; a 10'6" Pacific System Homes faux balsa board with abalone inlays from the early 1930s with a painting of the lineup at San Onofre; and an early 1950s Hobie Balsa Board with Dana Point on the deck. They generated immediate buzz, the trio’s combined skills proving almost too good to be believed.

“I remember going down to the Laguna Art Museum and showing those first boards to some of the staff,”

COVER STORY

C OV E R S T O R Y said Comer. “We pulled one out of a bag, and they were just stunned. They couldn’t believe it wasn’t real balsa wood. I mean, jaws dropped.” An opening was booked for the following year to run in tandem with a retrospective on illustrator Rick Griffin’s career.

But fate had different plans. The economy cratered in 2008, putting the project largely on hold, and both Ancell and Comer ran into life challenges for wholly different reasons. The trio opted to cancel the Laguna show.

But Yater kept shaping the remainder of the collection to hold up his end of the deal.

“It was easy for me to continue. It became natural,” said Yater. “I lived through these board designs and had ridden and shaped them all before at some point, so I enjoyed going back.”

But without his two partners in crime, the project eddied out in that liminal space where so many ambitious projects go to die. “Everything just sort of stopped,” said Comer. “We all went on to other things.” The boards began collecting dust.

REVIVAL TIME

The resurrection began a few years back when Comer’s partner, Suzette Curtis, started pushing John to bring the project back to life. A designer by trade and former art director at Patagonia and Islands magazine, Curtis recognized that the trio’s project was special.

After Ancell opted out of the hopeful revival, Yater and Comer recruited another surf-world artisan, Peter St. Pierre, to help them finish the collection.

A maestro with the airbrush, St. Pierre stepped in to reprise Ancell’s role, albeit with his own personal flair, turning Yater’s foam shapes into replica wood planks

and balsa decks. Comer then took all the boards south of the border to his studio in Baja and finished the collection, painting scenes like George Freeth at Redondo Beach, the Kawananakoa Brothers at the San Lorenzo Rivermouth in Santa Cruz, and Bob Simmons at Rincon.

Once the nine-piece Heritage Collection was complete — comprising seven boards and two paintings — Comer and Yater also made the “Channel Collection,” featuring plein-air paintings on wall-mounted surfboards of Santa Barbara–specific touchstones such as Refugio, Rincon, El Capitan, and Point Conception. Not only had the original idea been saved and finished, but it had become more impressive in the process.

In fact, there was even a beautifully done, perfect-bound 40-page book to go with it, thanks to Curtis. It was time to show the world.

Plans for the current show at the Maritime Museum began to take shape in the months before COVID hit. Passing on the opportunity to open their show in Santa Cruz and San Diego, Comer and Yater needed the right spot to honor this truly unique thing they had done.

“It was tricky to find a gallery that fit,” said Comer. “This is not just an art project. And it’s not just a history project. It requires a certain amount of respect.”

When they stepped into the Maritime Museum, they knew they had found the spot. And after nearly 15 years of waiting, not even a pandemic could stop them.

“Surfing has given me a lot in life.

When I started out all those years ago, we had no idea where it was going — none of us did,” explained Yater with a very matter-of-fact wistfulness. “It’s nice to give back to the tradition and honor how it began here in California.”

One-Stop Shopping

anta Barbarans can now support a variety of local businesses from the comfort of one store with the Locals’ Collective, located on 931 State Street. The new retail experience, which opened on June 11, features a collection of more than 20 area businesses and artists and will run through September 11.

Mary Beth Larkin, creator of (IN)LARKIN; Anna Janelle Cardenas of Anna Janelle Jewelry; and Fernando and Andres Vega of Lacalle Studio founded the Locals’ Collective with the mission to provide a special shopping experience for customers and business owners alike.

“The Locals’ Collective is a marketplace for special items that take your breath away. Our mission is to connect with consumers through all their senses with a curated assortment,” Cardenas said.

“Our goal is to inspire and empower. Inspire our customers with a unique experience and empower our local sellers with exposure to the local community.”

The collection of brands appeal to a diverse array of interests and include Anna Janelle Jewelry, (IN) LARKIN, Lacalle Studio, Menchaca Chocolates, Lineage Botanica, S.B. CBD,

by Rebecca Horrigan and Notecards by Rita Barton, to name a few. Art from Rod Lathim, Haber Fine Art, Masha Keating, Marilyn McRae, and others is also available.

Larkin and builder Nils Larsen of Larsen Fine Homes reinvented the spot on State Street to create a welcoming and modern shopping experience with exciting displays in a calming, fresh space.

The Locals’ Collective is open 11 a.m.-7 p.m Wednesday-Saturday and noon-6 p.m. on Sunday. Guests can reserve a private shopping appointment for a more personalized experience. Community events are on the horizon as well.

“We plan to partner with local charities and host private parties for their organizations throughout the summer,” Cardenas said. “We want to connect with the community and give back in as many ways we can!”

Visitors can get a taste for the Collective on Thursdays during the State Street Promenade Market put on by the Downtown Organization.

“We set up a booth with a sampling of what is inside the store and invite passersby to come inside,” Cardenas said. “It’s a really fun atmosphere and a great way to connect with the community.” n

Those menus were whipped up by general manager David Shinn, who features such signature beverages as “The Mamba,” a vibrant concoction of Empress 1908 gin, lemon, simple syrup, and passionfruit foam providing a purple and yellow hue in homage to the late Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Kobe Bryant. Shinn relied on his experience as assistant division manager for Young’s Market Company to build a wine list, with such gems as Tooth & Nail’s new red blend from Paso Robles and crisp sauvignon blanc from Sancerre in France. Microbrew taps rotate regularly, most recently offering the crisp Czech pilsner by Draughtsmen.

The decor is simple yet sophisticated, with bright flowers atop each table, allowing for the mountain views and ocean air of Coast Village to do the talking.

Olive Mill Road on the ground floor of the Montecito Inn, Coast & Olive aims to be the upscale yet approachable restaurant that nearby residents have wanted for years.

Run by the brothers Jason, Jim, and Danny Copus, Coast & Olive occupies the space previously held by the Montecito Café and The Monarch. The Copus family has owned the Montecito Inn since 1989, but this is the first time that they’ve taken the restaurant into their own hands.

“Although we’re sure people from everywhere will enjoy Coast & Olive, we’ve geared our restaurant to please the tastes of our locals,” Jason said. “Over countless conversations, we’ve listened to guests and learned what

For dessert, try the Meyer lemon tart with Ojai Valley honey, homemade meringue, and thinly sliced apricots.

I can’t wait to try the Galvin Farms peach tart, which recently snagged a spot on the menu.

The restaurant also serves brunch on the weekends, with a little bit for everyone. There’s a Greek yogurt and granola bowl with avocado honey, a California niçoise salad, and a Snake River Farms burger dripping with Gruyère cheese.

During our chat, I asked Jason of his hopes for the new space. As he looked out on the bustling parklet full of joyful diners sipping signature martinis and sharing tasty bites, he smiled. “I think our hopes are already happening,” he said. “We can’t ask for anything better.”

MAN FROM MOLDOVA: After spending his childhood working on harvests in his native Moldova, Adrian Bolshoi is now the winemaker at Brick Barn Wine Estate in Buellton.

ADRIAN BOLSHOI RUNNING ESTATE JUST WEST OF BUELLTON

“

hat makes Moldova Mol-

dova?” Adrian Bolshoi asks rhetorically as we stand in a brick-lined breezeway between Brick Barn Wine Estate’s tasting room and production facility.

“Wine, for sure.”

Bolshoi was born in the former Soviet republic in 1987, when the small, landlocked state — sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine—used to compete with Georgia to quench the wine thirst of the entire USSR. Four years later, the Soviet Union crumbled.

“I don’t remember much,” said Bolshoi of that time. But his wine memories are vivid, as he usually worked two harvests each year: one for his mom’s parents, who lived in the north, and another for his dad’s more centrally located parents. “I’ve been helping with homemade winemaking for as long as I can remember,” he explained.

Today, Bolshoi is in charge of winemaking at Brick Barn, which sits just west of Buellton, rising from the flatlands up into hills that extend all the way north to the Pea Soup Andersen’s sign you see on 101. It’s owned by Kathleen and Norman Williams, who purchased the 1,100-acre ranch back in 1968 from the Buell family and developed it into a renowned Arabian horse farm.

In 2012, the Williamses decided to give wine grapes a try, hiring John Belfy of Buona Terra Farming to plant about 35 acres. There’s a mix of the red grapes pinot noir, cabernet franc, syrah, and grenache grown on the benchland overlooking Buellton, and, on the flatter area alongside Highway 246, white grapes of chardonnay, albariño, grenache blanc, viognier, and vermentino. That’s Santa Barbara County’s first — and perhaps still the only—planting of vermentino, which is most popular in Sardinia. The vines are overseen by vineyard manager Six Puentes, in consultation with Bolshoi, and contribute to about 8,500 or so cases of estate wine each year.

Though the fall of the Soviet Union still fires up mixed feelings in Moldova, where graft and bribery reign, the country’s independence certainly opened international doors for folks such as Bolshoi, who speaks five languages.

When he completed his winemaking degree at the University of Moldova in 2011, Bolshoi was hired from across the globe as an intern at the large Terravant winemaking facility in Buellton. (His hilarious and heartwarming story about arriving at LAX without a clue of where to go next is worth a listen.)

Bolshoi worked three harvests there and then headed north to work

With a career working for numerous wineries across the Central Coast since 2005, Dadosky said that the energized spirit of Brick Barn feels much like Curtis Vineyard did when she worked there in the mid-2000s. The estate is now a hangout for locals, she explained, and they’re just now kicking off a series of public events to run through the summer, including live music, stand-up comedy, and movie screenings.

A jolly bear of a man who speaks to his mom back in Moldova every day, Bolshoi seems right at home in this role, perhaps because he’s allowed to take deer, pigs, and quail from the large ranch. “I get to make wine,” he said with a broad smile as we drove around the hillside, “but I also get to hunt.”

While bartending at The Landsby in Solvang—Bolshoi was a renowned “flair bartender” during his college days in Moldova—he found an assistant winemaking job at Montemar with Steve Arrowood, who encouraged Bolshoi to start his own label before dying from cancer last year. On May 1, 2019, Bolshoi was hired at Brick Barn, and became the top winemaker just two months later, putting his own label on hold for the time being.

To toast this scene, we’re kicking off our first-ever monthlong beer crawl that starts on July 1 and runs until July 31, featuring seven breweries/taprooms that pour at 10 locations around town.

Under the banner of “Indy Hops,” we’re encouraging beer lovers to collect stamps for each pint consumed at these participating businesses on their passports, which can be found on page 31 of this issue as well as online at independent.com/indyhops.

On July 31, those passports can be turned in during a drop party at The Brewhouse, but beer buddies will be sharing their selfies and pint pictures on social media the entire time

I N D Y B O O K C L U B J U LY S E L E C T I O N : EIGHT PERFECT MURDERS

A puzzling string of murders, an unreliable narrator, fun bookish themes, and classic murder mystery references galore all come together to form a delightfully twisting tale in Peter Swanson’s Eight Perfect Murders. The story is narrated by bookseller Malcom Kershaw, who, years prior, wrote a blog post highlighting what he considers eight of the most perfect murders in crime fiction. This list comes back to haunt him when FBI Special Agent Gwen Mulvey enters his life. List in hand, she explains her theory that a killer is working their way through his list, copying the “perfect” murders, and she enlists his help in strengthening this connection as fiction bleeds into reality. As Kershaw looks deeper into these murders, he finds that they are littered with clues that lead back to his own life, launching him into his own investigation of the crimes. And then there’s the kicker that pushes this novel into thriller territory. Kershaw has a secret of his own, a secret that is slowly revealed as Swanson breaks the fourth wall and has Kershaw speak directly to the reader. As the story goes on and Kershaw’s psyche suffers and his paranoia grows, the pace of the story shifts too, jerking readers around on a wild ride. Swanson’s writing is clever and accessible, starting slow and building up in a way that makes the reader want to ingest the book in one go.

Eight Perfect Murders is a true tribute to the murder mystery genre, with the page-turning urgency of the thriller genre. Join us for an Indy Book Club discussion of Eight Perfect Murders on Thursday, August 5, at noon at the Courthouse Sunken Gardens.

PEOPLE AS MACHINES’ HOTEL QUARANTINA

Few album titles speak to the past year better than Hotel Quarantina, which the Santa Barbara band People as Machines released in April. The entire album — which is all original songs, save for one creatively catchy cover of Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”— was recorded by bandmates Matt Molloy and Chuck Hammel during the COVID-19 quarantine, and then treated to mastering by Howie Weinberg, who’s worked with Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The White Stripes. (Keyboards were handled by Andrew Manos.) It’s a slickly produced rock album, layered in powerful drum and guitar licks, with occasional interludes toward bluesier edges and thoughtful songwriting throughout.

Born at Cottage Hospital and educated at UC San Diego and the Los Angeles College of Music, Molloy is probably best known as a music teacher — both for his guitar, bass, and drum students of all ages at his Made for More Recording studio and at the Music Academy of the West, where he teaches as part of the Musicology S.B. program. Molloy was given a guitar for his 12th birthday soon after his father, Paul, who taught at SBCC, died. “I’ve never looked back since,” said Molloy, though his first go at lead vocals is in People as Machines.

A musician since age 18, Hammel hails from Cleveland but came to Santa Barbara in 2009 to work at places like Inogen and Yardi. He’s played drums in such bands as No Simple Highway, GrooveShine, Claude Hopper, and the Goodland, but his first gig ever here was on the 50-yard-line at La Playa Stadium playing backup drums for the band Sprout in 2010. His first with People as Machines? Playing the brass pineapple.

“There is currently more music available to the general public than ever before,” said Molloy of the musician’s modern plight. “This is a blessing as well as a curse. The best music is readily available to anyone.

However, with the vast quantities, it is often difficult to get your music heard by the masses and much easier for it to get lost in the overwhelming crowd. Hard work, persistence, and quality will help most great artists rise to the top.”

D.J. MACINTYRE’S SLC-6 MUSIC

E

lectronic music artist D.J. MacIntyre’s recent remixes and updated version of “The Great Simoon” pay homage to that day more than 150 years ago when Santa Barbara recorded the highest temperature ever on the planet: a whopping 133 degrees, though contemporary scientists have disputed the claim.

“It’s a whirling burner of a track, which, like its namesake, rises like scorching wind, leaving the landscape singed in its wake,” explained MacIntyre of his updated release, which he named “June 17, 1859” after the date of the incident. The three remixes feature Uruguay’s Alex Efe, Argentina’s Francisco Castro and Derk, and Paraguay’s Casper Keys.

LOMPOC-RAISED ELECTRONIC ARTIST PAYS HOMAGE TO GREAT SIMOONS AND SPACE LAUNCHES

BY MATT KETTMANN It’s just the latest from this globe-trotting producer, who was raised in Lompoc and attended UCSB while launching his career, set off by his 2017 debut album, Tandava. He’s since played Burning Man, Moscow, Playa del Carmen, Siberia, and all across the United States, from Oakland to New York, finding himself “equally at home in a dark basement club as in an open-air festival.”

His label SLC-6 Music is another tribute, this time to Vandenberg Air Force Base’s Space Launch Complex, which the City of Lompoc believed would become home to the Space Shuttle program. “When

plans changed, Lompoc was left with disappointment and a lot of underused hotels,” said MacIntyre.

“For many years, SLC-6 symbolized the dashed dreams of those looking to push the limits of our human reach, and those of a small California town.”

The complex reemerged in the 1990s to launch Delta IV rockets. “SLC-6 came again to symbolize progress, hope, and a reach for the sky,” said MacIntyre, who said his label embodies resilience, progression, and technological advancement by featuring the many deejays he meets on his travels. “We hope the music brings you the same sense of wonder and mystery that one experiences when observing a rocket launch into space.”

Today he lives in the Santa Ynez Valley. “I’ve lived in various places around the world but seem to always find my way back home to Santa Barbara County,” he said. “The label concept has its roots at home, yet the futuristic and space themes are ones that people from all over the world are able to connect with, and they align with electronic music well.”

He’s made the best use of his time during the COVID era. “The pandemic, in large part, has been a musically productive time for me, during which I’ve been able to finish quite a bit of music,” said MacIntyre, though he said it has been hard to stay motivated. “The isolation is taxing, and there isn’t much energy coming back at you. Some artists seem to have been able to turn lemons into lemonade, but there have been quite a few who have really struggled mentally and creatively.” Like many musicians, he’s ready to be back on a live stage.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Columnist Linda Weltner says that

there’s a dual purpose to cleaning your home, rearranging the furniture, adding new art to the walls, and doting on your potted plants. Taking good care of your environment is a primary way of taking good care of yourself. She writes, “The home upon which we have lavished so much attention is the embodiment of our own self love.” I invite you to make that your inspirational meditation for the next two weeks.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “For peace of mind, I will lie about

any thing at any time,” said author Amy Hempel.

Hmmmm. I’m the opposite. To cultivate peace of mind, I try to speak and live the truth as much as I can. Lying makes me nervous. It also seems to make me dumber.

It forces me to keep close track of my fibs so I can be sure to stick to my same deceitful story when the subject comes up later. What about you, Taurus? For your peace of mind, do you prefer to rely on dishonesty or honesty? I’m hoping that for the next four weeks, you will favor the latter. Cultivating judicious candor will heal you and boost your intelligence.

enlivening passions. They also deemphasize and suppress any energy-draining passions that might have a hold on us. I’m hoping you will take full advantage of this in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You will generate good fortune and sweet breakthroughs as you highlight desires that uplift you and downgrade desires that diminish you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author Wendell Berry suggests, “It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.” Although there’s wisdom in that formulation, I don’t think it’s true a majority of the time. Far more often, we are fed by the strong, clear intuitions that emerge from our secret depths — from the sacred gut feelings that give us accurate guidance about what to do and where to go. But I do suspect that right now may be one of those phases when Berry’s notion is true for you, Leo. What do you think?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1750, more than 250 years after

WEEK OF JULY 1

tual in every ordinary thing that you do every day.” You have to work at it a bit, he says; you must have it as your firm intention. But it’s not really hard to do. “Sweeping the floor, watering the vegetables, and washing the dishes become holy and sacred if mindfulness is there,” he adds. I think you Libras will have a special knack for this fun activity in the coming weeks. (Thich Nhat Hanh wrote a series of Mindfulness Essentials books that includes How to Eat, How to Walk, How to Relax, and How to Connect. I invite you to come up with your own such instructions.)

an unwarranted generalization. It may sometimes be true, but is often not. Genuine beauty may also be elegant, lyrical, inspiring, healing, and ennobling. Having said that, I will speculate that the beauty you encounter in the near future may indeed be disruptive or jolting, but mostly because it has the potential to remind you of what you’re missing — and motivate you to go after what you’ve been missing.

SCORPIO

Buzz Aldrin was the second human to walk on the moon. It happened during a spectacular astrological aspect, when transiting Jupiter and Uranus in Libra were trine to Aldrin’s natal Sun in Aquarius. But after this heroic event, following his return to Earth, he found it hard to get his bearings again. He took a job as a car salesman, but he had no talent for it. In six months, he didn’t sell a single car. Later, however, he found satisfaction as an advocate for space exploration, and he developed technology to make future trips to Mars more efficient. I hope that if you are now involved in any activity that resembles Aldrin’s stint as a car salesman — that is, a task you’re not skilled at and don’t like — you will spend the coming weeks making plans to escape to more engaging pursuits.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): My unexpected interpretation of the

current astrological omens suggests that you will be wise to go naked as much as possible in the coming weeks. Being skyclad, as the pagans say, will be healing for you. You will awaken dormant feelings that will help you see the world with enhanced understanding. The love that you experience for yourself will soften one of your hard edges, and increase your appreciation for all the magic that your life is blessed with. One important caveat: Of course, don’t impose your nakedness on anyone who doesn’t want to witness it.

SAGITTARIUS

CANCER

Columbus first visited the New World, Native Americans were still a majority of the continent’s population.

But between 1776 and now, the United States government stole 1.5 billion acres of land from its original owners — 25 times the size of the United Kingdom.

Here’s another sad fact: Between 1778 and 1871, America’s federal administrations signed over 500 treaties with indigenous tribes — and broke every one of them.

The possibility that these sins will eventually be remedied is very small. I bring them up only to serve as possible metaphors for your personal life. Is there anything you have unfairly gained from others? Is there anything others have unfairly gained from you? The next six months will be prime time to seek atonement and correction.

(June 21-July 22): Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said

LIBRA

Tartt, born under the sign of Capricorn, writes, “Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming.” In my view, that’s

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In her essay about education, “Don’t

Overthink It,” philosopher Agnes Callard reminds us, “No matter how much we increase our investment at the front end — perfecting our minds with thinking classes, long ruminations, novel-reading, and moral algebra — we cannot spare ourselves the agony of learning by doing.” That will be a key theme for you in the next four weeks, dear Gemini. You will need to make abundant use of empiricism: pursuing knowledge through direct experience, using your powers of observation and a willingness to experiment.

that when our rational minds are working at their best, they inspire us to cultivate our most interesting and

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh advises you and me and everyone else to “seek the spiri-

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you analyzed the best-selling songs

as measured by Billboard magazine, you’d think we were in the midst of a dangerous decline in population. The vast majority of those popular tunes feature lyrics with reproductive themes. It’s as if there’s some abject fear that humans aren’t going to make enough babies and need to be constantly cajoled and incited to engage in love-making. But I don’t think you Sagittarians, whatever your sexual preference, will need any of that nagging in the coming days. Your Eros Quotient should be higher than it has been in a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On July 21, 1969, Aquarian astronaut

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Astronomers say the Big Bang birthed

the universe 13.8 billion years ago. But a star 190 light years away from Earth contradicts that theory. Its age seems to be 14.5 billion years, older than the universe itself. Its scientific name is HD 140283, but it’s informally referred to as Methuselah, named after the Biblical character who lived ’til age 969. Sometimes, like now, you remind me of that star. You seem to be an impossibly old soul — like you’ve been around so many thousands of lifetimes that you too predate the Big Bang. But guess what: It’s time to take a break from that aspect of your destiny. In the next two weeks, you have cosmic permission to explore the mysteries of playful innocence. Be young and blithe and curious. Treasure your inner child.
