RYAN CRUZ CRUISES FROM CHEF TO JOURNALIST Our new news reporter Ryan Cruz was born and raised in Santa Barbara, where he’s lived his entire life, aside from a couple of years of school in San Francisco. He comes to the Independent from The Channels at SBCC, and he penned — and photographed — this week’s cover story about the wheelie kids of State Street. He tells us more about himself below.

TABLE of CONTENTS

volume 35, # 815, Aug. 26-Sept. 2, 2021

What made you want to be a journalist? I’ve wanted to write since I was young. I can remember growing up reading interviews with skateboarders, athletes, or artists in magazines and just falling in love with this glimpse into their lives and thoughts. I love the idea of telling people’s stories and sort of serving as a historian for a moment in time. When I was working in kitchens, journalism was always this itch that I still wanted to scratch. Once I got the opportunity to return to SBCC and write for The Channels, I jumped all the way in and knew I wanted this as my career.

What do you hope to bring to the paper? I hope I can continue to tell the stories of the community where I grew up. Santa Barbara has a rich historical culture of Chicano and Indigenous people with amazing stories, and I want to keep exploring that.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? I love to cook. I worked locally under some great chefs at Sama Sama Kitchen and Revolver, and being in the kitchen taught me so many valuable life lessons.

Vote No on Recalling Governor Newsom

C

alifornia, birthplace of the recall vote, proves yet again that just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

If recent polling is to be believed, the winner of this September 14 election to recall Governor Gavin Newsom could well be the right-wing radio personality and ardent anti-masker Larry Elder, a man totally unqualified to run California.

To state the obvious, this year’s recall effort — so flamboyantly ill-conceived — beggars any pretense at self-preservation and common sense. We urge all voters — regardless of party affiliation or ideological inclinations — to vote no.

The only reason California faces such a fate is that a group of fringe Republican malcontents, upset that Governor Newsom has done what he said he would do when he ran for office four years ago, were able to raise enough money and garner enough signatures to qualify for this special election, which is estimated to be costing taxpayers at least $276 million.

Even if you find Gavin Newsom’s positions objectionable, his term expires in little more than a year. Presumably in the intervening time, the Republicans might find someone with a modicum of competence to run against Newsom then. But not now.

To be clear, this election is not about whether you like Newsom or not. He might not be the sort of guy you’d want to sit down to have a beer with — or more precisely, to sit down with at a fancy French restaurant to enjoy a $500-a-plate

birthday dinner celebrating the state’s über-lobbyist, as Newsom did earlier in the pandemic.

That, most certainly, was foolish.

But it’s also not grounds for impeachment.

Or recall.

To the extent Newsom deserves blame for mistakes undeniably made, he also deserves credit for the successes for which we’ve all sacrificed so hard. The stakes involved could not be higher. We are urging our voters to vote emphatically no on the recall. It’s not about saving Newsom’s bacon; it’s about saving your own.

Polls have been wrong, and winds do change. But as it stands now, Elder — a contrarian and energetic provocateur — is reportedly way ahead of all the other 45 candidates now running to replace Newsom.

It’s worth noting at this historical moment that Elder has never held elective office during his 69 years on planet Earth and that he’s pledged to repeal all the mask and vaccination requirements that Governor Newsom has approved. As a Black man, Elder has carved out a successful career as a multimedia pundit trivializing, minimizing, and denying the consequences of racism.

Just what we don’t need: a gratuitously selfdestructive incompetent at the helm of the fifth-largest economy on the planet as the worst public health crisis in the past two centuries goes into overdrive.

Even those voters who dislike or disapprove of Newsom’s policies should nevertheless be concerned that the man most likely to become governor should they vote for recall will be Elder, whose ex-fiancée accused him of pull-

ing out a revolver in the middle of a heated domestic dispute to ensure that it was loaded.

Elder declined — in his words — to dignify such accusations with a response. Unfortunately, he’s also refused to dignify with a response questions posed by any reporter other than a few representing a Chinese news agency.

When it comes to essential details — like how he’d handle the COVID crisis — the voters deserve less dignity and more information.

Governor Newsom, on the other hand, has proved to be uncommonly effective navigating a host of natural and unnatural disasters.

Has he been perfect?

Absolutely not. But in his brief tenure, Newsom has been forced to deal with droughts of geologic scale, infernos that rival anything in the Old Testament, and, of course, most immediately debilitating, COVID-19. And until this year, Newsom had no federal partner upon whom it was safe for Californians to rely.

No, we are not remotely out of the woods.

But look at states such as Texas, Florida, and Alabama — all led by such stridently antimasking governors that their school districts have been forced to rise up in revolt to impose the most rudimentary of safety precautions.

Consequently, their hospitals are overflowing with COVID patients, their ICUs engorged with bodies of people who can’t breathe without the aid of a machine.

In California, our hospitals have been greatly strained and our health-care workers maxed out. But they are still standing, still caring for our sick.

Although registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 2-to-1 margin in the state and no Republican has won a statewide office since 2006, the smart money is betting that Newsom could still lose because of what the pollsters refer to as “the enthusiasm gap” and voter fatigue.

Are Democrats and Independent voters really so tired of voting they can’t mail in their ballots? We hope not.

By now, any registered voter reading this should have received a large envelope courtesy of the Santa Barbara County Elections Department. In it is enclosed the recall ballot. It asks two questions. The first is whether you support the recall. Circle the No box.

The second question on the ballot asks which of the 46 contenders you would select to replace Governor Newsom should he be recalled. As a matter of tactics, strategy, and, above all, simplicity, we urge you to keep the second line blank.

If this sounds like a singularly undemocratic process, you are correct.

If more voters cast ballots against Newsom than for him, the candidate with the most votes of the 46 in the running will become our next governor. In such a scenario, Newsom will all but certainly have slightly less than half the total votes cast. But the next governor — having had to split votes with 45 other candidates — will have won with far fewer votes than Newsom.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Vote No on the Recall. And be sure to vote.

CORONAVIRUS

ELECTION 2021

by Nick Welsh t’s not every day an elected county official accuses members of the public who testified against the county’s COVID vaccination effort of behaving like members of a cult. But that’s exactly what County Supervisor Steve Lavagnino did this Tuesday morning, after listening to more than 90 minutes of public comment from 20 militant anti-vaxxers who frequently compared the county’s proposed vaccination plans to something straight out of Nazi Germany.

Lavagnino, it turns out, knows something about cults. He grew up in one, he declared from the supervisors’ dais. His parents divorced when he was a kid over religious differences; his mother moved into a religious cult in Northern Idaho, and Lavagnino went with her. The theology was all about “conspiracy, catastrophe, and persecution,” he recalled. At age 10, Lavagnino said he first encountered a barcode scanner while shopping at a supermarket. Church elders, he said, wasted no time denouncing this new technology as a “mark of the Beast.”

Lavagnino said the same type of thinking was evident in the speakers at this meeting.

When one speaker described his recent time in Florida, a state with no mask or vaccine mandates, as a “breath of fresh air,” Lavagnino said that dishonored the grief experienced by families of the 43,000 people recently killed by COVID in Florida.

Lavagnino has personal knowledge of the COVID virus as well as cults. He contracted the virus around Christmas, and though he recovered, he passed it on to his father, now 86. “I almost killed my dad,” Lavagnino said.

“If that had happened, I never would have been able to live with myself.”

Lavagnino, a lifelong Republican until Donald Trump’s election, ultimately voted against a measure that would require the county’s 4,300 employees to be vaccinated or subject to regular testing. He wasn’t against the vaccine, he said, but he wasn’t comfortable mandating it.

Now that the Federal Drug Administration just gave final approval—as opposed to the emergency clearance—to the Pfizer COVID vaccine, Lavagnino said the vaccine-hesitant “stragglers” should be given time to make good on their word: that they’d get vaccinated once final approval was issued. In Santa Barbara County, that number is estimated to be 43,000, or one out of every three Santa Barbara residents eligible for vaccination.

No member of the public showed up to speak on behalf of the county’s efforts, but Fred Sweeney, an architect who was there

on another matter, took exception to the anti-vaxxers. “This is scary,” Sweeney said, noting that none of the people in the meeting had been vaccinated.

“Shame on you.”

Some speakers disputed that COVID was a medical crisis at all. Heart disease, one speaker argued, killed far more people than COVID. Others insisted that the vaccines didn’t work, or that their long-term consequences were still unknown.

Dr. Henning Ansorg, the county’s Public Health officer, had composed a list of myths and realities to counter what he’s termed dangerous misinformation, but it had little appreciable impact on the SPEAKING PERSONALLY: Responding to comparisons between the county’s proposed vaccination plans and Nazi Germany, Das Williams — whose speakers.

CARPINTERIA “Historic” is how one of the biggest cannabis operators in the Carpinteria Valley — Headwinds — and the chief attorney representing Carpinteria residents against that industry’s odor issues — Marc Chytilo — described an accord reached this week. It will bind 20 area greenhouse growers to use the best available technology for detecting and mitigating cannabis odor leaks.

That technology includes carbon filters — long sought by the Coalition for Responsible Cannabis and long resisted as infeasible by many cannabis growers affiliated with CARP Growers. The new deal is between these long-feuding entities.

COUNTY Four people died in two separate accidents on the 101 through southern S.B. County on 8/25.

One person died in an accident near Winchester Canyon, and a second accident near El Capitan and Dos Pueblos Canyon Road involved multiple cars and killed three. The accidents closed the 101 in both directions for about six hours. County Fire responded to both accidents to put out fires and to extricate victims. That same morning, a sedan was pinned beneath a communications truck on the 154, closing San Marcos Pass and sending three to the hospital, one in critical condition.

Mandatory Vax Debate Gets Personal

In California’s history, 55 attempts have been made to recall a governor, and only two have qualified for the ballot. One of those is set for 9/14 — to attempt to recall Governor Gavin Newsom. Voters have until 8/30 to register to vote in this historic election, which can be done at registertovote.ca.gov and also through the County Elections offices. County Elections czar Joe Holland advised registering early: “I highly recommend that voters register by the August 30 deadline,” he said. “It ensures that the voter has the opportunity to receive, review, and mark his or her ballot safely and securely at home.”

The Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying the motorcyclist who drove onto San Marcos High School’s campus on 8/19, narrowly weaving through crowds of students on their lunch break.

Police Shoot at Suspect, Kill Bystander DOJ Investigating Death of Man Shot by Guadalupe Police While Sitting in His Car

by Ryan P. Cruz he Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is helping with an investigation of an officer-involved shooting in Guadalupe, in which a Guadalupe Police officer opened fire during a pursuit of a wanted suspect and struck a civilian sitting in a car, killing him.

According to a statement from Sheriff ’s Office Public Information Officer Raquel Zick, Guadalupe Police officers recognized a suspect known to have an “outstanding no-bail felony arrest warrant” shortly before 10 p.m. on Saturday, August 21.

Though details on the incident are sparse, as the investigation is ongoing, authorities say an officer “fired his service weapon at the wanted suspect” but instead struck 59-year-old Juan Luis Olvera-Preciado, an uninvolved resident who was sitting in his car just two blocks away from where the suspect was originally spotted on Obispo Street.

“The sequence of events that transpired after officers contacted the suspect is currently under investigation by the California Department of Justice (DOJ),” said Zick.

The identities of both the suspect and officer involved have yet to be released. “The suspect with the felony warrant was ultimately arrested at the scene. Neither the officers nor the suspect were injured.”

Guadalupe Police Chief Michael Cash requested Sheriff ’s detectives and forensics technicians to respond to the scene, and detectives found the incident fell under the criteria of the newly chaptered Assembly Bill 1506, a state bill approved a year ago that requires the Attorney General’s Office to “investigate incidents of officer-involved shootings that result in the death of an unarmed civilian.”

The DOJ investigators will lead the criminal aspect of the investigation, with help from the Sheriff ’s Office, while the Santa Maria Police Department will conduct an administrative investigation,

T

as requested by Guadalupe Chief Cash.

According to the statement, Cash met personally with the Olvera-Preciado family to offer his condolences and to “coordinate support services.”

Cash’s appointment as head of the police force was met with some scrutiny in 2018, due to a string of incidents in his career—as the head of the Southwestern College campus police, he was placed on a two-month leave after he discharged his service Glock and the bullet flew into a nearby room where three people were, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

An earlier report in the Los Angeles Times said that Cash received a four-day suspension for use of excessive force after allegedly punching a suspect who was already in a chokehold. The cases were handled through internal investigations, and final reports remain confidential.

The new law, AB 1506, although passed last August, was effective starting in July of this year, and this is the first case of an officer-involved shooting in Santa Barbara County that fell into the DOJ jurisdiction.

Attorney General Rob Bonta released a “guidance for implementation” on July 7.

“One of the most important tasks ahead for public safety and our society is building and maintaining trust between our communities and law enforcement,” said Bonta.

“Impartial, fair investigations and independent reviews of officer-involved shootings are one essential component for achieving that trust. Today, California is strengthening our state’s mechanisms for accountability and transparency in investigations of officer-involved shootings. These cases are never going to be easy, but the California DOJ will follow the facts and seek to ensure every Californian is afforded equal justice under the law.”

Guadalupe Police and city councilmembers did not respond to requests for comment. More information will be released when made available. n

SBCC Reopens with New COVID Protocols

S

anta Barbara City College’s fall semester started Monday, and with Dr. Kindred Murillo in negotiations to become the new interim superintendent/president in September and a recently approved COVID19 vaccination mandate, this year looks to be a different on-campus experience than those prior to the pandemic. [For more on Murillo, see independent.com/kindred-murillo.]

School spokesperson Victor Bryant released a “coming to campus” guide, detailing the ins and outs of SBCC’s newest health and safety protocols — developed by SBCC’s three new COVID-response coordinators — and ensuring students taking in-person classes know what to expect.

All employees and students arriving on campus will need to check in at tables set up to verify their “green” status (i.e., no COVID symptoms or exposure) on the Healthy Roster app and distribute daily wristbands and surgical masks.

After October 1, everyone will also have to show either a school ID with a vaccine-verification sticker or a weekly negative COVID test, as required by the school’s recently adopted vaccination mandate. Unvaccinated individuals with exemptions will be provided with a “highlevel” (N95 or higher) mask every day.

The guidelines require that SBCCapproved masks be worn “covering nose and mouth” when inside facilities. People are encouraged to physically distance and wear masks when unable to do so outdoors, Bryant said.

Some of the rules are not quite mandated but heavily encouraged.

“Eating in class is not advised and may increase classroom exposure risk,” Bryant said. “With instructor permission, students may drink beverages in class, but they must replace their face covering immediately after putting their drink down.”

An “exposure management” prevention plan is included in these guidelines and states anyone who tests positive for COVID “must self-isolate, especially from individuals in the same household.” Anybody living with somebody who tested positive should “wear a mask, quarantine, and not report to campus until allowed to do so by a COVID-19 Response Coordinator.”

SBCC is hosting vaccination clinics three times a week at its three campuses, and oncampus testing will be available for everyone, students and public included. See sbcc.edu.

Council Endorsements Defy Expectations

I

f there were any doubt this year’s City Council elections would defy any paintby-numbers prognostications, this week’s round of endorsements from three of the South Coast’s most politically influential women’s organizations proved it. Incumbent mayor Cathy Murillo, now running for a second term, failed to secure an endorsement from the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County or the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, though both organizations had endorsed her when she ran for mayor four years ago.

The Women’s Political Committee didn’t endorse any of the six candidates vying for the mayoral post. Democratic Women threw its weight behind mayoral challenger and longtime planning commissioner Deborah Schwartz, who’s campaigning as a cando Democrat who knows how to reform the city’s design review system.

Murillo managed to secure the coveted endorsement of Planned Parenthood, and she noted she’s already been endorsed by the Democratic Central Committee and the Sierra Club.

Democratic Women also backed council challenger Nina Johnson over incumbent Meagan Harmon in the battle for

the downtown’s District 6. That’s a bona fide shocker in Democratic Party circles, given the enthusiastic support Harmon enjoys from the local Democratic Party organization for her outspokenly progressive views.

All three organizations, however, endorsed incumbent Kristen Sneddon against challenger Barrett Reed, a planning commissioner and downtown developer in the race for District 4, which encompasses much of the Riviera and Mission Canyon.

They also endorsed incumbent councilmember Eric Friedman, who is facing no opposition for the district representing San Roque.

Planned Parenthood, it should be noted, is endorsing all of the above: Murillo, Sneddon, Harmon, and Friedman.

Three of seven seats are up for grabs in this November’s election during unprecedented turnover at many of the top administrative posts, including that of Paul Casey, who will be stepping down as city administrator on September 10 after eight years at the helm and 24 years at City Hall.

One of the paramount decisions facing the new council will be the selection of a new —Nick Welsh administrator.

Anonymous Gun Buyback Nets 238 Weapons

he Coalition Against Gun Violence and its partners did their part to remove firearms from Santa Barbara households on Saturday morning, collecting 238 weapons during the Sixth Annual Anonymous Gun Buyback. Five assault weapons were among the firearms exchanged for Smart & Final gift cards. In the six years of the volunteer program, 1,407 weapons have been relinquished.

Removing weapons from households has been among the goals for the coalition since it formed in 1994. Guns accounted for 37 percent of total deaths in the U.S. in 2019, and 60 percent of those were suicides, according to the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program.

Researchers see the trend increasing during the pandemic, which has added stressors like finances, anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness. The Davis program estimated 2.1 million more gun purchases were made in March-May 2020—64.3 percent more than the expected volume. At the same time, an additional 776 fatal and nonfatal firearm injuries were recorded in the U.S. over the number expected had there been no increase in purchases.

In Santa Barbara, the gun buyback depends on anonymity for the people who give up their firearms, said Catherine Swysen, event chair for the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, which partnered with the coalition, S.B. Police

BUCKETLOADS: The Sixth Annual Anonymous Gun Buyback received 238 revolvers and long guns this year, including five assault weapons that will now be destroyed.

Department, Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County, City of Santa Barbara, and others to put on the event. “Anonymity is the cornerstone of the entire program,” she said. “No questions are asked. The Police Department does not care who is turning in the weapon. What’s important is to get firearms off the street.” Participants received $100 for every handgun and long gun turned in, and $200 for an assault weapon.

SBPD sees that the guns are destroyed after being turned in.

“It’s a very positive event,” Swysen added.

Some people don’t know how to get rid of a weapon and were appreciative that this was a way to do it safely. Above all, she said, “Working together as a community with the Police Department at this event makes the community safer.” —Jean Yamamura INDEPENDENT.COM

he street corner outside Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital was the scene for one of many California protests on Saturday against Governor Newsom’s vaccine mandate for health-care workers. Flyers advertising the Medical Freedom rallies had circulated around Southern California during the week and attracted about 100 people to the Goleta event to decry a state requirement that medical workers be fully vaccinated by September 30.

Many types of protesters were on the sidewalks at Patterson and Hollister Avenue—families, former political candidates, nurses, and supporters of the anti-vaccination and anti-mask movements—holding signs and cheering when cars honked in support Among the protesters was a Santa Barbara nurse who said of the new vaccine mandate: “We were good enough for the past year and a half to keep people safe and keep people going. Why aren’t we good enough now?” The nurse, who asked for anonymity, said she has been pro-vaccine in all her 15-year career, but she regarded the COVID-19 vaccines as an experiment.

“There’s not a whole lot of long-term safety data,” she said. “It’s really concerning that it’s getting pushed and forced on so many people.”

The rally took place the weekend before the Food and Drug Administration approved the Pfizer vaccine on August 23 for people above 16 years old. Trials are ongoing for young adults between 12 and 15, who are currently approved under emergency-use status. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are still under emergency-use authorizations.

Other protesters agreed that they didn’t feel comfortable receiving a vaccine prior to full FDA authorization. Most were willing to speak with the media, but one individual used a bullhorn to yell at an Independent

reporter. “That’s a bad question,” she advised when asked how she’d heard about the rally.

She then followed the reporter around the intersection, occasionally chanting, “We are not the new Jews in Germany.”

According to Grace Wallace, a former Goleta City Council candidate who was attending the rally with the group Make America Free Again, “[We are] standing up for the medical community, the doctors and nurses who do not want to get the COVID shot,” she said. “As we know, if it’s a vaccination, then you shouldn’t be able to get reinfected. It’s supposed to be a cure, and it is not,” she said, referring to breakthrough infections.

“Eyes are being opened,” Wallace said.

“It’s not about being Republican or Democrat. It’s not about Trump. It’s about us, as Americans, standing for our rights as citizens of the Golden State and citizens of Santa Barbara County.”

Among Cottage employees, 89 percent were vaccinated as of August 13, and 97 percent among its medical staff. Though the protest took place near the Goleta hospital, Cottage spokesperson Maria Zate said, “The rally was not on our property and was not endorsed by our health-care organization.

We encourage anyone with questions about COVID to seek information from their medical provider.”

COURTS & CRIME

UCSB Student Charged with Rape

A

n investigation by UC Santa Barbara police into accusations of rape resulted in felony charges against a 19-year-old UCSB student by the District Attorney’s Office on August 16. Arian Eteghaei, identified as a second-year pre-biology major by the Daily Nexus, was booked into County Jail and is currently out on bail.

Detectives and investigators for UCPD and the DA’s Office located three victims of alleged crimes committed this past June, and also last October or November. UCSB held nearly all classes online for most of that time due to the pandemic, and both on-campus and Isla Vista housing were less populated than normal. Investigators believe other victims or survivors and witnesses are among the community.

UCSB was aware of the charges but could not disclose student information, said spokesperson Shelly Leachman. It

was possible that the student could be put on interim suspension as the university assessed safety and health for Eteghaei and the campus community, Leachman said.

“The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office is well aware that survivors of sexual assault and abuse are often reluctant to come forward for a variety of reasons,” District Attorney Joyce Dudley stated. Nonetheless, other victims and witnesses are asked to contact district attorney investigator Judith Hall at (805) 568-2360 to help the prosecution.

Dudley also noted that victim and witness advocates in her office provide support to ensure their needs are not overshadowed by the legal proceedings. Any victim or survivor can contact the Victim-Witness Assistance Program at (805) 568-2400 or (855) 840-3232.

UCSB Faces Major Housing Shortage

Incoming Students Worry About Car-Living, Long-Distance Commutes

U

by Tyler Hayden

C Santa Barbara is facing a significant housing shortage for incoming students this fall, with online message boards and social media platforms alight with hundreds of desperate first-years and transfers looking for places to live. Many fear they will be forced to sleep in their cars when the quarter begins on September 27 or commute long distances to reach the Central Coast campus.

A Change.org petition started August 12 —lambasting UCSB for leaving its students high and dry and calling on the university to negotiate bed space with local motels—has generated more than 1,600 signatures. Its creator, Dino Vicencio, said he’s been looking for off-campus housing since May with no luck. “There’s just nothing out there,” he said.

An incoming transfer from Los Angeles Valley College, Vicencio said he started the petition once he began connecting with other students facing the same challenge.

“This isn’t something new,” he said, referencing recent reports that UCSB has fallen dramatically behind on building new housing. “They’ve known about this for years.

That’s what got me really upset.” If he can’t find a place soon, Vicencio said, he’ll likely commute to campus via the Surfliner train from his home in L.A. to Goleta, a fourhour round-trip.

Sarah Jochum said she’s in the same boat.

“As happy as I am to be admitted,” she said, “the university admitted more students than there is housing in Santa Barbara, and that’s a problem.” Jochum said she was informed last Tuesday by a UCSB representative that she is one of 900 students on a waitlist for university housing, and that there is a very limited availability of off-campus housing due to the pandemic.

While the number of on-campus units has not changed from pre-pandemic years, she was told, COVID-19 has pushed many

incoming students to room alone or with just one other person in Isla Vista — the adjacent community where the bulk of UCSB students reside—as opposed to the normal-year routine of cramming three or four bodies to a room.

“There is a large group of students who have money in-hand but are planning on living in their cars because they can’t find an apartment,” Jochum said. “We really need the community’s help in pressuring the university to come up with solutions.”

Things have gotten so bad that UCSB’s Community Housing Services department even put out a call to faculty and staff this week asking them to consider opening their homes to incoming students. “Please also spread the word to your non-UCSB community contacts,” the message reads.

Shelly Leachman, a spokesperson for UCSB, said the university is aware of the problem and working on it. “Currently,” she said, “we are planning to maximize our campus housing and are exploring several options to assist students who are having a difficult time finding housing as a result of several factors in the community, including a tight rental market in the Santa Barbara area and many reports of I.V. residents choosing lower-density living situations.”

Leachman noted that UCSB is not alone in the current housing crunch. “Many campuses are experiencing similar circumstances,” she said. “As we have done in past years, we communicate with our campus community to explore options for students seeking housing accommodations.”

Those assurances, though, have been cold comfort to students who are still unsure what the fall will hold. “My friends and I have been searching for an apartment for months but can’t find one,” wrote Romina Aratesh on the petition. “We are legitimately considering taking a quarter or two off due to lack of housing. UCSB needs n to do better!”

and, most importantly, how it is worn. The CDC recommends masks that have “two or more layers of washable, breathable fabric” and “completely cover your nose and mouth.” Properly worn masks were found to be 79 percent effective in preventing secondhand infections, according to a 2020 Beijing study that tested households that had at least one member test positive for the virus.

According to the FDA, during the height of the pandemic, in September 2020, states with no mask-wearing policy or mandate reported a higher COVID-19 rate than those without any policy. Case rates for states with “at least 75 percent mask adherence” in the previous month was 109.26 per 100,000 compared to 249.99 per 100,000 for those with less adherence.

Fighting the Dixie Fire with S.B. Strike Team Videographer Ethan Turpin Documents Fire Behavior and Human Bravery

E

Story by Tyler Hayden Photos by Ethan Turpin

than Turpin always feels the itch this time of year to get out in the field. As a Santa Barbara video artist and documentarian who collaborates with scientists to study wildfire, every day spent at the office is a day he could have been in forests or on mountains collecting valuable footage.

So when the massive Dixie Fire ignited last month — burning 740,000 acres and counting, leveling the town of Greenville, and threatening dozens of communities — he prepared for another grim but important assignment. “It’s a historic event I wanted to have some perspective on,” he said.

Turpin recently returned from a four-day trip north, where he embedded with a Santa Barbara County fire crew — the 20-member Strike Team Charlie — and tested new equipment, including a fireproof camera box he set directly in the path of the blaze. The film was the first he’s captured at night and in a conifer forest (as opposed to Central Coast chaparral) and will be used by a fire behavior assessment team with the U.S. Forest Service.

After a 10-hour drive and an uncomfortable night in his truck at a rest stop, Turpin rendezvoused Sunday with the Santa Barbara team, one of many local crews dispatched to help with the colossal containment effort that’s drawn 5,800 personnel from around the state. Temperatures at the time were nearing 100 degrees with winds blowing 25 mph. The sheer scope of the inferno, now nearly three times the size of the Thomas Fire, is difficult to imagine, Turpin said. “It’s

modern Paul Bunyan folklore, with a lumber company copywriter there the first to name the blue ox “Babe” and depict Bunyan in impossibly tall proportions.

Most of Charlie had already been stationed there a week.

Some even longer. They worked 16-hour days with eight hours to “sleep,” though much of that time was spent commuting back and forth to their motel in Reno. “They’re exhausted,” Turpin said. Any spare moment the team got — whether it was waiting for a dozer or a new set of orders — they’d drop to the ground on their packs and steal a few minutes of rest, immediately snapping back to action when duty called.

The crew was conducting a series of back-burns, setting small and controllable fires at the base of slopes that would slowly climb and consume fuel before the beast could reach their location and roar down the mountain. Their line was just three miles from Westwood. They worked mainly at

a multi-headed beast,” he said, “with claws stretching north and east across entire mountain ranges.”

Strike Team Charlie had been assigned to protect Westwood, an old logging town of 1,600 residents not dissimilar to Greenville. Established in 1913 as the operations center for the Red River Lumber Company, Westwood’s homes and businesses were constructed with wooden slats and shake roofs, “way before people thought about fire building codes,” Turpin explained. Westwood would later become the birthplace of

night, when the weather was cooler and calmer, and at the time were trading point and support positions with a hotshot crew from the Zuni Indian Reservation in New Mexico.

Battalion Chief Adam Estabrook led the strike team and talked openly with Turpin about how poor forest management and global warming are contributing to California’s ever-growing fire seasons. The conversation was noteworthy, as firefighters are typically loath to wade into policy debates.

But that’s starting to change.

DIXIE DUTY: Above, Santa Barbara County firefighter Tony White shovels embers away from equipment during a back-burning operation on the Dixie Fire. Below, the Dixie Fire claims another home (left), and while cooling down hotspots, S.B. County fire engineer Alfred Gonzales (right) checks for burned branches that could fall and injure someone.

“He really thinks climate change is an important force that people need to talk about,” Turpin said. “He’s seen it with his own eyes.” Estabrook and Turpin’s late father, Bill, a 31-year county firefighter, served alongside each other on the Painted Cave Fire, which reached 5,000 acres and was at the time a career-defining event. Now, firefighters are battling blazes that are many orders of magnitude larger and are doing so on a much more regular basis. As tough and brave as they are, Turpin said, “These guys get burnt out.”

As of press time, it appears Strike Team Charlie’s efforts have paid off. Westwood has been spared and evacuation orders lifted. The fire got to within a mile of town and left a burn scar that nearly boxed it in. When Turpin parted ways with the crew, they were chasing the Dixie Fire down Highway 395, trying to stop its southern advance. All along the way, commanders were deciding which houses and ranches to protect, and which ones were too far out of reach. So far, 1,262 structures have been destroyed, including 679 homes.

“When I’m out on fires, I often see homes that really could have been made safer with preparations,” said Turpin, who’s made videos on defensible space for the Santa Barbara County Fire Safe Council (sbfiresafe council.org/get-ready). “It’s just not realistic to expect firefighters to be at every home that’s in the path of the fire or being showered by embers.”

Even though much of Santa Barbara’s front country has burned recently, Turpin noted, many of our more destructive fires, like the Tea Fire, started in extreme conditions near the wildland-urban interface and gave very little time for response. “And a lot of that chaparral is old enough to burn again,” he said. “To me, the antidote to anxiety is preparation.” Turpin also reminded residents to sign up for mobile alerts at readysbc.org.

A Dog for No Reason

NEWS OF THE WORLD: I woke up Tuesday

morning with a red sun burning high in the sky, its color the optical byproduct of a few billion trees burning in what promises to be another record-setting year. I’m not a religious person, but running around my brain was a searing blues song “John the Revelator,” sung in a voice to peel the skin off one’s back.

It was to be one of those days. I tried to read the comics. But Afghanistan — where 20 years of chickens were coming home to roost — kept intruding over my bowl of cereal.

It took the United States two decades to understand what the Soviet Union figured out in one: that Afghanistan is, was, and remains the graveyard of great empires. Lost in the avalanche of I-told-you-so outrage is any appreciation of how many Afghans prematurely met their makers fighting a war we are told they refused to fight. At last count, 75,000 Afghan soldiers and police officers bought the farm; 71,000 civilians went with them.

I tried to catch up on the Dodgers, but the din of all the instant experts blaming Joe Biden got in the way. No doubt he’s got it coming. But where were they back in August 2001, when George W. Bush steadfastly ignored intelligence reports that Osama bin Laden was about to attack? Where were they two years later, when Bush et al. opted to declare premature victory and attack Iraq too? Did that second war divert resources that could have prevented the first from ending so disastrously?

We Help You Grow.pdf 5 8/24/21

That’s way more chickens than Colonel Sanders could hope to fry.

Welcome to Afghanistan, where, I’m told, the price of a burka has just gone up 100 percent.

But I had to get to work, so I tuned in to the County Board of Supervisors meeting, where I caught up on all the bad news about COVID. But much to my great surprise, I walked away from the meeting strangely uplifted. And — dare I say it — encouraged.

On some small micro-local-hyper artisanal way, government was working the way government should.

Stop the presses.

Maybe it’s because all five county supervisors were sitting at the same dais in the same room — all wearing masks — actually talking to one another. Maybe it’s because County Executive Officer Mona Miyasato had spiked their Kool-Aid and threatened to quit if they didn’t get along.

But for whatever reason, the lions and the lambs — three liberal-enviro “south” county supervisors and two conservative northern supervisors — were making a serious goodfaith effort at working things out.

Special props need to go to Bob Nelson, the most conservative supervisor who represents the 4th District, the most conservative in the county. Nelson’s predecessor — Peter Adam — believed that government can’t work and made sure his worst expectations were realized.

11:27 AM

By contrast, Nelson has been genuinely engaged during his first six months. When

he reaches out across the proverbial aisle, it’s not with an olive branch but with his hand.

A small case in point. On Tuesday’s agenda was a ministerial item to give county CEO Miyasato a 7 percent pay hike. This would bring her base pay to $309,000. Issues like this — high-paid county bureaucrats — tend to be red meat for Andy Caldwell, the rightwing watchdog who has been railing against county government since he founded the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business in 1991.

Over the weekend, Caldwell — who can accurately be described at times as shrill — sent out a missive decrying Miyasato’s proposed pay raise. Presumably, a fellow red-meat conservative like Nelson could be expected to jump on that bandwagon.

Instead, Nelson took on the loudest conservative voice in the county — though without mentioning Caldwell by name. The information in Caldwell’s dispatch was not accurate, Nelson said. Miyasato would not be taking home the $403,000 that Caldwell had written.

“It’s really easy to tell half the story,” Nelson said. “But it depletes trust in this board.”

Nelson heaped mountains of praise on Miyasato for keeping the county on an even keel during the craziest of times, navigating a $1.3 billion organization with 4,300 employees and 22 separate departments through nonstop crisis and catastrophe.

Miyasato, he also noted, was paid considerably less than executive counterparts elsewhere and had opted to not take a raise

many years when she could. Nelson described the pay increase as “one of the most fiscally responsible decisions” he ever made.

Caldwell took to the podium to defend his good name even though it had not yet been mentioned. If Nelson wanted to hammer him for “distorting the facts,” Caldwell said, then Nelson shouldn’t distort the facts himself.

Caldwell insisted the $403,000 figure was correct, because it included insurance and benefits. “The point here is that these things are too high,” he added.

That’s when Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, the board’s second most conservative member, jumped in and credited Miyasato with cultivating the board’s culture of civility and collegiality. (Rumor has it that Miyasato has threatened the supes with her resignation

if the board descended into dysfunction.)

Lavagnino mocked the notion that maybe the county could do better with a private industry CEO. No chief exec in Santa Barbara, he said, made less than $800,000 a year. And none ran an organization one-tenth as complex and challenging as the county.

Caldwell quickly changed the subject, launching into a tirade about environmentalists being two-faced for not getting more agitated about a recent Toro Canyon oil spill.

They only care about attacking oil companies, he charged, not protecting the environment.

Caldwell can accurately be described at times as shrill; this was one of them.

Some people see what they want to see. I see what I need to see. Hope.

At the Board of Supervisors?

Entitlement

W

ow, yet again, a man has decided that it’s his right to tell a woman how to live her life. Specifically, Ed St. George, a local developer, felt entitled to tell Santa Barbara City Councilmember Meagan Harmon to “take a five- to seven-year pause” to focus on her children and husband.

The Women’s Political Committee put out a statement pointing to the persistent sexism and misogyny behind those comments. The 40+ current and former elected officials and 70 or so other public leaders who signed on showed their integrity. So where are the three people running against Councilmember Harmon—one of whom is a woman herself? Their names are not on the list of signatories.

Public officials need to walk their talk. Failure to do so tells me either that these challengers don’t believe in women’s autonomy or that they don’t have the courage to speak up if it might mean alienating a powerful man and potential donor. Either way, they are not the kind of leader we need in this or any community.

Thanks to all who speak out against sexism and for the rights of all women to determine their own —Margaret Lazarus, S.B. lives.

Vote Yes

T

hroughout the last decade, Governor Newsom and his predecessor effectively nullified laws that were passed to get tough on crime and to make us safer. Three-strikes has been gutted, truth in sentencing has been eliminated, and certain crimes have been downgraded and recategorized.

Newsom offered early release to 76,000 existing prisoners, including 63,000 serving time for violent crime and at least 20,000 prisoners serving life sentences.

Homicide and property crimes are spiking in California:

• Homicide in California increased 31 percent between 2019-2020 • Homicide in Los Angeles County increased 34 percent between 2019-2020 and is up another 186 percent so far this year • Homicide in Oakland has increased 52 percent over the same time period last year • Homicide in the Bay Area’s 15 largest cities has increased by 35 percent over the same time period last year • In California, car thefts are up by 19.6 percent, and commercial burglaries have risen by about 26 percent

KEVIN SIERS

Letters

• Residential burglaries in San Francisco have increased by 78 percent • Property crime in San Francisco is so out of control that Walgreens has closed 17 stores, and Target is closing its stores early I call into question the integrity and character of a governor who promises to do more for crime victims, only to arrange the early release of tens of thousands of violent criminals as crime surges in California. You may accuse me of cherry-picking isolated incidents, but you’d be wrong. Gavin Newsom has a storied history of obscuring deeds with words and offering apologies for morally challenged decisions.

It’s time to vote Newsom out and elect a new governor with integrity who will be tough on crime.

—Gregory Gandrud, Carpinteria

Time Out, Occidental

O

kay, let me get this straight: Occidental Petroleum, a Fortune 500 company whose revenue in 2020 was $17.809 billion (with a B), was not held accountable for cleaning up the oily mess their uncapped, seeping well caused in Toro Canyon?

The leak was discovered in August 2020 and “… an EPA study in late 1990s determined it would be unfeasible to cap the well.” They estimate that 420-630 gallons of oil have leaked since, polluting our waterways and killing wildlife. That estimate is undoubtedly low given that county staff determined the pipe was damaged during the Thomas Fire in 2016, nearly five years ago.

As Representative Katie Porter recently stated, every parent knows that if your child wants to dump her Legos all over the floor, the child must clean up the mess.

Companies like Occidental, ExxonMobil, and their subsidiaries gain enormous profits and dump oil all over our collective floor, yet they manage to escape the cleanup and stick us—the county and the taxpayers—with the tab. When will we stop allowing this? We need to demand they use their profits to pay the social and environmental costs of drilling.

I think they need a “time out,” don’t you?

—Rachel Altman, S.B.

2/27/1946 - 7/28/2021

10/8/1941 - 8/17/2021

Bill was born on Balboa Island, hence his love of the ocean. Bill called S.B. his home for over 55 years. After attending UCSB he had many adventures. Driving the Alcan Highway in his V W bug, crewed on a LCU in Alaska, designed and built his own home in Oregon, and completely restored our 1936 bungalow in Palm Springs.

Employed by the City Santa Barbara for 28 years. Some of his many projects were developing the Seismic Retrofit program and refurbishing our main library. He also built the first Hot Dog cart in the city; it was located at the base of the wharf. He was always ready to lend a helping hand wherever needed. Bill married Trish, his wife of 43 years, on Valentine’s Day on a cliff above the sea.

They had a charmed life, living in some of the most magical places in Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Palm Springs. Bill loved sailing, being a member of the SBYC he had a great time on the water. Some of his most memorable times were spent on East Beach playing Volleyball with a great group of guys. This is just a small insight into Bill’s life. He lived a life of kindness, respect for his fellow man and cared deeply about our planet. Honesty and good friends meant everything to Bill. More to share at his Celebration of a life well lived. I would like to thank Dr. Greenwald, Dr. Rosenbloom, Dr. Gelberg, Dr. J. Hadsall and all of the doctors and nurses at Cottage Hospital ICU and the Infusion Center. Just remarkable angels and so kind. This will be held at Mt. Carmel when it is safe to gather. Always in my heart. bdavisharmony@aol.com 18

Virginia Elaine Stewart Jarvis

2/19/1933 - 5/31/2021

Virginia Elaine Stewart Jarvis, beloved mom and dear friend passed away at age 88 in the comfort of her home in Santa Barbara on May 31, 2021.

Born in Stockton, California to Harry and Alyce Stewart on February 19th, 1933, Virginia was raised in Danville, California where she helped to run the family business, The San Ramon Valley Lumber Company.

An important part of her adolescence was the study of the violin from which evolved a lifelong love of classical music.

Virginia’s education was shaped by attending San Domenico School in San Rafael, California, where she made lifelong friends and later Stanford University where she graduated with degrees in Speech and Drama.

She married Charles Henry Jarvis and together they moved to Santa Barbara in 1958 to start their family while Charles practiced law at Schramm & Raddue and later at Jarvis, Hartloff and Simon.

Bright, strong, kind, stubborn, opinionated, creative, patient, conservative and open minded, Virginia could be a force as quiet and powerful as the tides. From her parents she inherited a love of people and her distinctive business sense, which blended astuteness and resourcefulness with fairness and a nurturing quality. Her ownership for many years of a small plaza in Sacramento was motivated as much by a desire to give

family businesses a helpful push as it was by the modest profits that resulted.

She also keenly watched the markets and invested wisely. But she would say that her greatest investments were always her children, Cynthia and Dow; and her numerous friends to whom she loved to offer guidance, or lend an ear. A voracious reader, her book collection was as much about the books she loved as it was about the books she hoped to share.

An enthusiastic planner and organizer of extended family trips, she was also something of a cat whisperer, turning a succession of shy felines into outgoing and gregarious extroverts.

Affliction seemed only to make her spirit stronger, intensifying her curiosity, empathy with others and love of life. After the tragic loss of her daughter Cynthia, in December of 1993, Virginia carried on a deep connection to Cynthia’s friends and pursuits, creating an endowment for dance students at the University of Georgia at Athens. For many years, Virginia purposefully kept her advanced stage of emphysema at bay through diligent adherence to a series of dietary and health practices; for she simply had no time to surrender to a disease when there were so many things to accomplish, books to read, friends (young and old) to appreciate and projects to start. Ever the daughter of a lumber yard owner, she lived her life to build with quality and character. Her light continues in those lucky enough to have been graced by her friendship and love.

A celebration of Virginia will follow. For information, please contact Tapiola47@gmail.com In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Direct Relief

She always had a kind and encouraging word to say. She spent time volunteering with the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Hospice of Santa Barbara, and the Brain Tumor Support Group.

Joan and David were longtime, active members of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and enjoyed singing in the choir together.

Livin’ That Bike Life Pedaling On with Wheelie Kids and World-Saving Moguls

by Indy Staff

I

t was no accident that bicycles became almost impossible to buy in the early days of the pandemic. Biking was one of the few safe things you could do. Luckily, stocks have been replenished and the enthusiasm for two-wheeling never went away. In fact, the pause gave new trends and new ideas room to grow.

In this installment of our annual Wheels Issue, you’ll read about the Lords of Dogtown–like rise of a new sport, the corporate leader of a biking behemoth who has the brains and bankroll to change the world, and a homegrown shop that’s quickly becoming the cultural nexus of a new generation of rider.

Enjoy, and please pedal responsibly.

Full Speed, Wheels Up

S

Meet Santa Barbara’s Wheelie Kids Text and photos by Ryan P. Cruz anta Barbara’s next generation of bikers

has burst on the scene in the form of highenergy teenagers swerving through the city on their big-wheeled rides, turning heads with an aggressive style of wheeliepopping bravado and drawing both praise and criticism from residents and officials.

You can’t miss them. Since State Street was closed off to car traffic in 2020, they’ve turned the small strip of road in front of the old Macy’s building into an impromptu practice ground. Nobody organized this pop-up wheelie spot; it just happened, with the kids organically taking their place in the center of a bustling downtown.

“We’re just trying to have fun,” said Angel Reyes. He’s out on State Street most days with his friends, living the “bike life,” as they call it.

It’s early August, and they’re out again, enjoying an early Friday afternoon, soaking up as much summer as possible before school begins. Reyes takes a quick pedal, turning around in front of a couple walking their dog and a family eating ice cream, all watching him intently.

He accelerates and hunches down before leaning back, pulling up his front wheel. He finds his balance point, then hops up, taking both feet off the pedals and landing with one foot on his seat, the other raised up behind him. Reyes looks 10 feet tall, holding the pose for a couple of seconds before dropping back down and rolling away with a smile.

His friends all whoop and high-five each other and are soon speeding up for their own tricks, always trying to one-up one another.

Javier Rojas, a San Marcos High School student, has been riding for about 10 months, picking up the bike life during the pandemic, like most of the crew.

“I was into skating first, but I sprained my ankle,” Rojas said. “I didn’t want to be stuck at home doing nothing, so I took a bike out and I started riding.”

Each rider has their own style. Rojas is quiet, but his tricks speak for themselves. He lies back effortlessly, rolls along, and sticks his right leg up over and across the bike’s frame. He points to the camera, making it look too easy. He says riding has introduced him to friends from different schools and neighborhoods he might not have met otherwise.

“It’s just really fun, riding out with your friends,” he said.

Isaac Molina is the youngest of the crew that day. The 13-year-old is full of energy, riding a bright-yellow SE Flyer peppered with “BIKE LIFE” stickers. He hops on his back pegs, lifting up his front wheel and doing “combos,” switching between his knees and feet on the seat and turning himself into a corkscrew.

The kids themselves shrug off the criticism that they are too aggressive or dangerous. “They just get mad ’cause we’re taking over,” Molina said. “We’re just taking over at this point.”

This taking-back of spaces is an almost unconscious action by the historically marginalized group against a system that often doesn’t include them in decision-making processes — they are left out of the conversation, so now they’re fighting back by simply existing and being themselves.

Santa Barbara’s biking policies are often drafted to meet the needs of businesses and pedestrians; when patio seating popped up on State Street in the place of the traditional bike lanes, cyclists

were pushed to the middle of the road. But business owners and residents complained to City Hall that kids on bikes were disturbing the peace with their one-wheeled antics.

During a July 2020 meeting, City Councilmember Mike Jordan called the teens “obnoxious,” claimed that they were “terrorizing” people, and even said that downtown ambassadors should ram a “stick in their spokes” to stop them.

City Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez pushed back on Jordan’s comments, reminding the council that a safety task force recently found crime among Santa Barbara youth had dropped “significantly.”

“Maybe it’s because they’re biking and staying active and staying out of trouble,” Gutierrez said.

“To make comments about having city staff put sticks in their spokes … these are children we’re talking about. I’m not a parent, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want someone, especially an elected official, talking like that about my children.”

There have been reports of altercations involving teenagers on bikes, but in many of these cases, the juveniles are actually victims of adult offenders. In the past month alone, two teens have been struck by vehicles, with the drivers fleeing the scene in both cases and later being arrested for hit-and-run.

Herrera to create Wheelie Wednesdays at Santa Barbara City College.

Herrera is somewhat of a “godfather” figure to the younger wheelie generation. He started in the late ’80s and early ’90s in California’s thriving BMX scene, but it wasn’t until 2017 that he picked up a bigwheeled SE Bikes Big Ripper — the “grown-up” version of his childhood dream bike, SE’s PK Ripper.

“It just changed my life,” he said.

Herrera runs a popular Instagram page, @santabarbarasefamilia, with more than 7,500 followers. Through the page, he organizes and promotes community ride-outs, as well as group trips across the state.

“I’ve traveled a lot, all through California,” he said. “I’ve ridden bikes through Los Angeles, San Francisco, Stockton, San Diego — I’ve met a lot of cool people.”

The rides, and social media, are a way of networking and finding other riders with the same lifestyle. “You meet kids, you meet older people — they all have a different style, all have a different way of looking at it, and it just builds friendships,” Herrera said.

For the first couple of years, the participants were mostly his age.

“There weren’t too many kids riding,” he said.

But something happened during the pandemic. Everything shut down. Maybe the kids were restless; maybe they were looking for an outlet. However it happened, Santa Barbara’s youth started picking up the now ubiquitous, big-wheeled SE bikes.

And just as Herrera looked up to “OGs” in bike culture, like his friend Tom Lopez and Santa Barbara bike legend Jesus “Chuy” Reyes — the man locals say used to ride up and down State Street entirely on his back wheel—the new generation looks up to him.

At SBCC, in the parking lot across from Ledbetter Beach, the kids are enjoying the open space used by roller skaters, scooter-ers, and now the wheelie riders on Wednesdays.

John Burke, and you’ll hear how cycling can save the world: how the bike can drastically reduce the greenhouse-gas emissions stoking the raging inferno of climate change, and how it can un-choke urban arteries now strangled by automobile congestion.

You’ll hear from Burke how the bicycle can help fight heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, and how during the pandemic, bike riding has offered the sanctuary of safe and socially distanced exercise. In the context of the Black Lives Matter movement, you’ll hear how the bicycle offers law enforcement a tool to connect more meaningfully with the communities they’re charged with serving.

And all that’s aside from moments of random joy the bicycle can inject into the mundane passages of daily living.

Burke’s not wrong.

I’ve long thought all the same things.

The only difference is that Burke — a part-time resident of Santa Barbara for about 15 years now — happens to own and run Trek Bicycles, the largest bike

Burke doesn’t just sell bikes; he rides them, pedaling no less than 5,000 miles a year. In fact, he estimates he’s ridden up Santa Barbara’s famously grueling and intoxicatingly scenic Gibraltar Road approximately 50 times now. He’s very precise, however, when it comes to how many times he managed to get to the top before his wife, Tania Burke.

Just once.

On the Fourth of July this year, the two of them rode their bikes from their home in Montecito past the city’s waterfront and up State Street. “When they took State Street and closed it off to traffic, I think that was a brilliant decision,” Burke said via Zoom. The idea that some people might want to exclude bicycles from the new promenade simply did not compute.

“We rode down the street and had a wonderful time doing it,” he said. “There were no problems.”

Last month, Burke announced the creation of his new Trek Foundation, which is making substantial donations to two mountain bike trail projects in Santa Barbara County, another one in Ventura, and

NOT ROCKET SCIENCE: “People need to feel safe on the road,” said John Burke about cycle-friendly changes Santa Barbara ought to make to encourage more riding. “It’s pretty simple.”

one more in Arizona. The foundation is giving $200,000 to expand the trails crisscrossing the ridiculously scenic Rancho Alegre campgrounds located in the Santa Ynez Valley from three and a half miles to 10. “Ten thousand kids a year from public schools use this site for various reasons,” Burke explained. “I wanted to make mountain biking an option for kids from all walks of life.”

To expand beyond the cycling stereotype of affluent white people, Burke has launched a number of scholarship programs to get mountain bikes into the hands of kids of color. Likewise, he’s funding an initiative to open up bike shops in “bicycle deserts” — typically poorer and ethnically identified neighborhoods. Likewise, he’d pledged to train 1,000 people in the art of bicycle repair and sales so they can work in these shops.

Closer to Santa Barbara, Burke’s Trek Foundation is donating $100,000 to help restore the six miles of mountain bike trail that snakes up and down the semi-wild hillsides of Elings Park. “This is right in the heart of Santa Barbara. It’s very accessible,” Burke said. “And this is just the start.”

And of course, Burke is the Wizard of Oz directly and indirectly responsible for the flotilla of white electric bikes — all rentals — now whizzing up and down State Street.

BCycle, the bike-share company that landed the city franchise, is owned by

Trek. The company’s other flagship operation is in Madison, Wisconsin, just spitting distance from the small town of Waterloo, where Trek famously originated in a red barn.

Right now, BCycle has 130 pedal-assist e-bikes and 272 docks stationed throughout the City of Santa Barbara. As of July’s end, the company reported, 30,000 bikeshare trips had been taken, 133,000 miles ridden, 5.3 million calories burned, and 125,000 pounds of carbon offset.

The extent to which Burke’s electric bikes are providing a meaningful transportation alternative to the automobile, however, has yet to be determined. City traffic engineers caution that the system is still only halfway “cooked.” Another 120 bikes and 228 docks need to be installed before the total system as envisioned is actually in place. Given that BCycle started operation in the teeth of the pandemic and when State Street suddenly went car-free, BCycle’s launch did not go exactly as planned or expected.

Adding spice to the company’s arrival was some head-butting with the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission and an appeal to the California Coastal Commission, which BCyle won by a unanimous vote.

The real test, traffic planners say, is whether the bikes are embraced by locals, not just tourists and visitors.

Right now, the numbers are mixed but appear encouraging. Fifty-eight percent of the rides have been taken by people signing up for monthly or annual memberships, suggesting longer term residency;

New Shop Gives Old Mountain Bikes a Second Shot at Life

by Tyler Hayden Opened five months ago by De la Vina Street’s new power couple — Alex and Erin Guerena, who own and operate Haven Barber Shop right next door — Boom Boom took the place of Cajun Kitchen after it shut down.

The bright-green-blue shop is now filled with beautifully tailored rides and a growing family of friends and customers, two groups that often overlap.

Boom Boom’s stock is almost exclusively 1990s-era mountain bikes that Erin tracks down (she refuses to reveal her sources) and that mechanic and day-to-day manager Chris Totten then refurbishes with a signature, head-turning flare. Each build is totally unique, with Chris always happy to work with buyers on exactly what they want. “I’m like a kid in a candy store,”

he said, motioning to a banana-yellow Specialized on its kickstand and a Klein the color of Nickelodeon Gak mounted on the wall.

Boom Boom favors those classic brands, as well as Diamondback, Nishiki, and Bridgestone, and often connects with sellers unaware of the potential gathering dust in their garage.

“People think they’re just old, junky bikes,” Erin said. “A lot of the time, it’s your dad’s old bike.” Their customers run the gamut, from weekend warriors to commuters to wheelie kids (see page 21) to those wanting to get down and dirty and enjoy what the mountain bike was designed for. Every week, the shop hosts a trail ride through Elings Park, More Mesa, and Modoc Road that never takes the same route twice.

But the real beauty of the Boom Boom Bike Room, explained Alex — a consummate hobbyist who’s also into cars, rode BMX as a kid, and did bike repair work out of his truck during the pandemic to make ends meet — is that it’s open to all and closed to none. “We saw a need for a space like this,” he said, “a space that’s accessible to everyone.” And they’ve succeeded. The intimidation factor — quite high at some other Santa Barbara shops — is nonexistent, with Chris always on offer for guidance and service. “We want to attract anyone who’s ever been turned off by a bike shop, who’s ever been afraid to ask questions,” he said. “Really, we just want to help anyone who wants to have fun on a bike.”

As if on cue, one of their customers zipped by on a cherry-red Giant and flashed the three

a smile and a peace sign. The scene reminded Alex and Erin, now expecting their first child, of a moment that helped inspire Boom Boom. They were closing Haven one night and looked up to see a young teen popping a wheelie down De la Vina Street.

All on his own without a care in the world. “Just killing it,” Erin remembered. They wanted that vibe for their store.

“If you’re curious what we’re all about,” said Alex, “just come on down. We want the family to get bigger and bigger.

The more the merrier.”

There, they can go full speed, trying trick variations they can’t on State Street, without fear of being hassled. Herrera is their unofficial coach and mentor. He calls the boys “mijo” and their female crew member, Leianna, “mija.” He says seeing them out there in their element, having fun and staying out of trouble, makes him proud.

“It feels great. I love it,” Herrera said. “It encourages these kids to do something positive. You’re in the street, but you’re not in the street.

You’re still out there doing your thing and people are seeing you, and you’re still getting that street credibility, but without the violence.”

There are no cit y-sanctioned areas for the wheelie riders, but Herrera is hoping they can change that.

“Our goal is to actually get a spot for them locally, here in Santa Barbara,” he said. Herrera also wants to change the way people see the kids and said it hurts when he hears them being judged.

ONE OF THE FIRST: SE Bikes team rider Feliciano “It ’s toug h Herrera is a godfather of the fledgling sport. because a lot of these kids are really good kids,” he said. “If you took the chance to see what they’re doing, and the positivity they’re putting into it … they could be doing a lot worse things in their lives right now.”

For now, at least on Wednesdays, they have a space to ride. As for the future, Herrera said, the goal is to keep the scene strong.

“Keep the ride positive and keep these kids in a positive lane, where n they can do their thing and just enjoy the bike life.”

War Over Berlin?

S

ixty years ago, August 1961, East Germany began constructing the Berlin Wall that became the most evocative symbol of the Cold War. We did not know how things would end, but I clearly remember how the symbol began in a whirlwind.

I was stationed in Germany in 1960-61, an artillery lieutenant in an “Honest John” rocket battalion equipped with nuclear warheads. Our combat mission was to disrupt Warsaw Pact troops if they crossed the inter-German border, but for more than a year, I scarcely imagined war.

The World Was on the Brink 60 Years Ago

by Gaines Post Jr. The atmosphere changed in the spring of 1961 as Nikita Khrushchev stepped up Soviet demands for an end to the four-power control over Berlin that dated from 1945. At summit talks with President John F. Kennedy in Vienna in June, the Soviet leader declared he would resolve Berlin’s divided status by December. Having been humiliated by the Bay of Pigs fiasco in April, Kennedy felt “savaged” by his summit adversary, and he came home determined to prepare America for the “cold winter” he promised Khrushchev.

Both sides escalated their rhetoric and military preparations in July. Stars and Stripes used the word “crisis,” and letters from home grew anxious. Kennedy spoke to the nation on July 25, comparing West Berlin to Bastogne and announcing he would call up reserves and extend tours of active duty. The Pentagon considered using nuclear weapons to defend West Berlin, from tactical warheads against ground forces to a pre-emptive attack on the Soviet Union.

Khrushchev warned that war over Berlin would become a thermonuclear holocaust.

East Germany’s main worry was migration; around 30,000 of its citizens fled to the West in July, 32

THE INDEPENDENT

AUGUST 26, 2021

Stationed in West Germany, Gaines Post Jr. in a state of suspense during the stand-by alert of August 20, 1961

the highest monthly total since 1953. On August 13, the East German government closed the border between East and West Berlin to keep its own people in, and soon barricades appeared that became a wall.

Surprised by these moves that fell short of what his advisers had feared, Kennedy sent a political mission to West Berlin on Saturday the 19th. On the 20th, an American battle group was dispatched by road to West Berlin to reaffirm Western rights of access.

With Washington on edge and my battalion on stand-by alert, the battle group warily traversed an armed gauntlet of East German autobahn.

The alert on Sunday, August 20, was the first time I thought the Cold War’s worst case might actually happen: A trigger-happy moment in Germany could initiate nuclear war. My platoon sergeant thought so, too, a weathered chain-smoker from Oklahoma who had fought under Patton in France. Many of the battalion’s faces were pale and fixed. I tried to visualize combat, and the prospect of “mating” warheads to rocket motors no longer amused me. The combined kilotonnage of our warheads far exceeded that of the atom bombs dropped on Japan. I was ready to obey orders for war in Germany, little more than 15 years after I had stockpiled cherry bombs in case the Wehrmacht invaded my neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin.

The battle group arrived in Berlin without incident, and we stood down, thankful but subdued.

Next morning, the Secretary of the Army said war was now unlikely: “If there were to be war, it would have started yesterday.” That is a bygone yesterday.

Today, Germany is united, NATO includes former members of the Warsaw Pact, and our armed forces have been fighting in the Middle East for 20 years.

Gaines Post Jr. is professor emeritus of history, Claremont McKenna College. A graduate of Cornell University, he served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army in Germany and attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar before obtaining his PhD in modern European history at Stanford University. A specialist on modern Germany and the origins of the Second World War, he is the author of Memoirs of a Cold War Son (2000) and Blue Bug, Red Road (2008). He has lived in Santa Barbara since 2018.

Geology

Prof. Jim Boles scaled a Hope Ranch cliff to take a measurement of the heat escaping during a spontaneous combustion event in 2006.

No Volcanoes Here W

hen smoke issues from the rocky cliffs at Hope Ranch, as it does every few years, the immediate thought is “Volcano!” or, for the cognoscenti, “Solfatara!” Well, both are incorrect, said Jim Boles, a professor emeritus at UC Santa Barbara who specializes in geology. It’s been about 30 million years since Santa Barbara saw any volcano action.

The correct answer lies in the folds of uplifted earth visible at the cliffs from the collision of tectonic plates over the eons. Compressed in those layers are the ingredients for spontaneous combustion—iron sulfides and hydrocarbons—when oxygen is added.

As the Hope Ranch cliff face slides from time to time, fissures open that expose the iron sulfides to oxygen. In reacting to the oxygen, they give off heat.

And if hydrocarbons are present — generally the offshore tars among the layers of uplift that created the cliffs—it can all

by Jean Yamamura go poof!

Boles’s research found that temperatures as high as 450 degrees Fahrenheit are generated in the oxidation process, more than enough heat to cause the tars to combust spontaneously. “If the heat is contained,” Boles said, “temperatures will build, and things will catch on fire.” Usually, persistent puffs of white smoke rise from the cliff, but in mid-July, vegetation caught fire, too, throwing billows of black smoke above the beach.

The same chemical reaction happens on the surface of the earth all the time, he said, but because the iron sulfide is not contained, the heat doesn’t build up. There’s no fire. He compared it to a compost pile.

“Things can get really hot inside a compost pile, which is an oxidation reaction,” he said. “But it’s surrounded by a pile of stuff ” and wouldn’t catch fire unless a crack fell open to let oxygen inside.

“Friction has absolutely nothing to do with it,” he cautioned. “A lot of people think the landslide is related to spontaneous combustion.”

What the landslide does is expose the iron sulfides to oxygen, generating heat and smoke in the presence of hydrocarbons, he summarized.

Boles, who retired in 2008, recalled his expeditions to Hope Ranch’s smoky cliffs. “Yes, the fire department wanted us down off of there,” Boles said, chuckling. “We told them, ‘We’re geologists. This is what we do.’ ” n

CHIN UP: “We’re a talented team,” said coach J.T. Stone after Friday’s tough 35-0 loss. “I’m not discouraged by any means.”

Football Food for the Soul W

eek zero of the high school football season is behind us, and beyond the results on the scoreboard, the pageantry, tradition, and excitement of a new season were on full display.

That was especially apparent last Friday at Peabody Stadium, where the crowd packed into the Santa Barbara High School stands and created a festive atmosphere that was nearly two years in the making.

I c e C r e a m & Yo g u r t

The Santa Barbara offense sputtered and only mustered 89 yards for the game. The Dons didn’t manage a first down until the 5:46 mark of the second quarter, and Renteria tossed a costly interception on his second throw. But more importantly, Renteria didn’t quit, cower, or retreat. He kept battling and improved as the game went on. For a sophomore with the weight of the world on his shoulders, that makes for a solid debut.

“We learned a lot,” Stone said. “There is some accountability that these kids need to have. When you’re on the field, it’s time to get the job done, and we did not do that tonight.”

The Dons will have an opportunity to pick up their first win when they travel to Thousand Oaks on Friday. The Lancers defeated Westlake 10-7 in their season opener, and while they don’t figure to be as tough as Saugus, Santa Barbara is in for another early-season test.

Despite Season-Opening Loss, Dons Are Happy to Play for a Crowd

by Victor Bryant “I think the best thing about tonight was seeing everybody here watching our football game,” said coach J.T. Stone. “Unfortunately, we didn’t come out with a win, but the atmosphere was great. This was definitely needed for the soul.”

Despite the boost of an enthusiastic home crowd, the Dons were no match for visiting Saugus in its season opener. The Centurions had the edge in experience, discipline, and confidence coming off of an undefeated spring season and punishing Santa Barbara for every mistake.

“Santa Barbara was a worthy opponent, but honestly, it’s just about us executing our stuff,” said Saugus head coach Jason Bornn. “If we do what we’re supposed to do when we’re supposed to do it, it really doesn’t matter what the other team does.”

Bornn’s confidence was warranted, as his team executed in crucial moments to secure the victory.

In the midst of the loss, all eyes were on Santa Barbara sophomore quarterback Abel Renteria, who has the unenviable task of replacing Deacon Hill, a hometown star now working his way up the quarterback pecking order at the University of Wisconsin.

Hill brought Santa Barbara to the cusp of a CIF Championship in 2019, but that’s not the only legacy Renteria must contend with. His father, Alfonso “Poncho” Renteria, was the last quarterback to lead the Dons to a CIF Southern Section championship in 1989.

Mission Street Featuring Mission Street

San Marcos Wins in Molina’s Debut Prior to the season, Ralph Molina made a bold declaration for a coach taking over a football team that hasn’t made the playoffs in 16 years. “This is our year,” he said.

It’s clear that Molina views San Marcos’s demotion from the Channel League to the newly formed Pacific View League as an opportunity. The team backed up his confidence in its season opener with a 25-14 victory over Morro Bay. There is considerable talent on the San Marcos roster with the return of Lance Bermudes and Jackson Murillo as well as the emergence of playmakers like Andre McCullough and Benji Rodriguez.

With Molina in the fold and his track record as a motivator and defensive tactician, it’s unlikely that we see the same old San Marcos football team this season.

“I was born and raised here, and I remember the days when San Marcos had a good football program,” Molina said. “We’re just trying to get back to that mentality.”

The Royals will travel to Santa Maria Friday in search of their first 2-0 start since 2013. n

UCSB SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL GOES VIRTUAL

PAGE 37

HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?: Milk Carton Kids Joey Ryan (left) and Kenneth Pattengale return to the Lobero on August 31.

CELLO POWER: The CRUSH duo of Katrina Agate (left) and Chenoa Orme-Stone performs on Saturday, August 28, at 5 p.m. with dancer Ahna Lipchik.

More broadly, with an eye to her own future, Jones relates to the DIY organizing impulse inspiring Llach’s initial creation of the festival. “I would attach music curation to my own ideals of composition,” she says, “which ultimately is to bring in all of these separate interests and inspirations and weave them into something.”

In the case of Under One Sky, she observes that “our own situation with coronavirus actually gave me the most inspiration for the program. I really wanted to focus on the fact that we are all ‘under one sky,’ and no matter how far we stretch, UCSB is still a community. That is the same musically. I really wanted to focus on music from all over the world and how Eastern music intertwines with Western to create our own community.”

The festival naturally also extends UCSB’s vibrant online concert life in the past year-plus, dispersed on its YouTube channel (youtube.com/c/UCSantaBarbara DepartmentofMusic) — also home to this weekend’s festival).

Frustrating as the lack of live music is for audiences, Jones suggests that “the largest toll this takes is actually on the performers. Live music pushes performers to their best and helps raise them to a performance mindset that just does not exist in the virtual world.”

“At the same time, virtual performances have opened so many opportunities for the festival,” she adds. “We now do not have to focus on performers who are right here in California and can bring in anyone from across the world. The same goes for our audience. A virtual festival opens up the possibility for the entire world to see our performers. With UCSB being so scattered throughout the world, we all can now enjoy this festival no matter where we are.”

Locally speaking, those yearning for a real time/real space experience can bring folding chairs to the lawn below Storke Tower, before retreating to our screens of choice for the rest of the fest.

ISABEL BAYRAKDARIAN,

ARMENIAN SONGS FOR CHILDREN Isabel Bayrakdarian’s richly textured voice has been heard in opera, on movie soundtracks, and in recordings featuring Latin American songs. On her new album, Armenian Songs for Children, the soprano — and UCSB associate professor of voice — does much more than demonstrate her musical versatility. With 29 tracks, she takes listeners on a pilgrimage that covers the musical heritage and lived experiences of the Armenian people, including the collective trauma of the 1915-17 genocide. The selected pieces come from various origins (even from historic villages long abandoned) and draw

s Delta-variant-inflamed pandemic conditions ratchet up angst surrounding live music’s return, at least one upcoming concert will be a model of distancing. On Saturday, August 28, at 1 p.m., UCSB carillonist Wesley Arai will take the “stage” of his lofty instrument, 175 feet above the scattered audience below, from high atop Storke Tower.

Welcome to the COVID-time realities of the sixth annual UCSB Summer Music Festival. Like the fifth annual, it will be almost entirely virtual, but despite this, it remains a valuable asset to the local “serious” music calendar—especially during August’s otherwise sparse offerings.

Founded in 2016 by enterprising UCSB alum Federico Llach, the festival serves up a willfully diverse range of sounds, including new music, varied global idioms, experimental and traditional classical sounds, and more. Many artists have links to UCSB and beyond. This untraditional tradition continues Saturday-Sunday, August 28-29, with a program including the double-cello CRUSH duo of Chenoa Orme-Stone and Katrina Agate, Daniel Ohara and Shashank Aswathanarayana, Duo Con Fuoco, and Gamelan Sinar Surya, as well as Professor Scott Marcus joining Aswathanarayana for a performance.

This year, directorial reins were handed to Alexandra Jones, who recently completed her first year as a graduate composition student. Jones quickly found herself grappling with inherent challenges in creating a festival online. But, she comments, “At the end of the day, the show must go on. At UCSB, it really seems like there is nothing that can get in the way of these musicians. Musicians everywhere have easily transitioned into being more online and have been ingenious in discovering new ways to get their music out to audiences.”

from different themes which Bayrakdarian skillfully evokes. In “The Little Wooden Horse” by Gomidas Vartabed, Bayrakdarian shapes her voice to the sprightly onomatopoeia of a child riding a toy horse, and in the “Cradle Song Lullaby from Ani” (unknown traditional), her mellow phrasing provides the gentle force that rocks the child’s cradle. Accompanists Ellie Choate on harp, Ruben Harutyunyan on duduk, and Ray Furuta on flute all provide expressive and compelling sounds that both supplement Bayrakdarian and stand on their own.

FOLK KIDS ON MILK “Getting back feels great because it’s been so long for everybody,” says Milk Carton Kid Joey Ryan, reflecting on the past year. For all artists, not being able to play live shows has been especially hard when their main passion is bringing people together.

Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale are the Milk Carton Kids, a neo-traditional folk duo from Los Angeles. Known for their harmonies and rootsy songwriting, they are also now known by their fans for their comedic, deadpan banter onstage. This is something they have been able to teach aspiring musicians who attend their songwriting camp, called Sad Songs, where they enjoy imparting the knowledge they’ve gained over the years.

“It’s been incredibly rewarding teaching at this camp because our regular job is: We get onstage and everyone else has to shut up and only we get a microphone. And you literally turn off every other light in the room except for a bright spotlight shining on us,” Ryan explains. “This camp is the opposite of that. All of the focus is on the students and their process, their songwriting, and their singing. All of the energy is going the other way. For once we’re not the center of attention, and that’s good.”

The Milk Carton Kids are also excited to be able to bond with others while on tour. “When you tour with somebody new, you develop this unique friendship or bond. I have really good friends that I’ve only ever spent 10 days with. It’s this intense experience, and you feel like you’ve known them longer than you have.” One of their new touring friends will be Haley Heynderickx, whom they will be playing with Tuesday, August 31, at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara.

“Touring with Haley was just a matter of us being fans of hers and getting connected in that way. Also, we feel a real connection to the Lobero Theatre. We come back as much as possible, and Santa Barbara is one of the places we’ve been playing the longest.”

—Kat Sophia

The Milk Carton Kids and Haley Heynderickx play Tuesday, August 31, at the Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St.). See lobero.org.

HERO’S JOURNEY: Not Going Quietly follows health-care activist and young father Ady Barkan as he’s launched into the national spotlight while coping with a debilitating neurological illness.

NOT GOING QUIETLY DEBUTS IN S.B.

S

anta Barbara activist Ady Barkan held a hometown screening at the Metropolitan Fiesta 5 Theatre on Sunday, August 22, for the documentary Not Going Quietly, a cohesive tale of his diagnosis with ALS, his subsequent loss of many major motor functions, and his fight for universal health care throughout the country.

Following the screening, Barkan shared his gratitude for his caregivers, not only for their personal sacrifices, but for also being a constant support in his life.

“You make my life possible,” Barkan said through his computerized voice box—the documentary details the slow deterioration and eventual loss of his natural voice.

The film itself was a tale of two concurrent journeys: Barkan being launched into the spotlight after confronting an Arizona senator and becoming a bird-dogging political activist, and his trials of coping with a debilitating neurological illness as a young father.

The documentary starts shortly after Barkan’s diagnosis and some time before his viral confrontation with former Arizona senator Jeff Flake, who Barkan famously pleaded with to save his life and “be a hero.”

That specific line launched a movement headed by Barkan and his associate Liz Jaff, who is heavily featured in the documentary as Barkan’s activist partner-in-crime. Barkan and Jaff created the Be a Hero campaign together before setting off on the Summer of Heroes road trip in 2018, which the documentary follows. The expedition involved Barkan, Jaff, and a group of activists traveling through 22 states in 40 days to confront members of Congress about their positions on preserving provisions for preexisting conditions in the Affordable Care Act. The documentary’s producer Amanda Roddy and Barkan’s wife, Rachael King, who is also an author and professor of English at UCSB, also attended and said a few words following the screening, echoing Barkan’s statements of gratitude for caregivers and emphasizing that activism can lead to real-life changes.

“Anyone can get involved in the election process to some extent,” King said.

Roddy said Jaff initially reached out to her and to the film’s director, Nicholas Bruckman, about Barkan. However, it wasn’t until Roddy and Bruckman, along with their New York–based production company People’s Television, created Dear Carl, a short film summarizing Barkan’s struggle with the health-care system, that they decided to do a full documentary on Barkan.

“We’re grateful he took the journey he did,” Roddy said.

More screenings for the documentary Not Going Quietly will be held across the country in the next few months, and a calendar of those screenings can be found on notgoingquietlyfilm.com.

ARTS LIFE

A

Leonard Cohen poem, “I Can’t Break the Code,” serves as the inspiration for local artist Claudia Hoag McGarry’s new production, Breaking the Code. McGarry wrote the play a year ago, but it was postponed due to the pandemic. Partnering with director Jordana Lawrence, McGarry is thrilled to see her first romantic comedy take the stage in Santa Barbara and Ventura in late August. “Each person in this story has a code by which they are living but are also having a hard time breaking through to move forward,” McGarry explained.

The play tells the story of Christy Pastence, a widow and playwright nearing 50 and living in New York City. When she meets a young Pakistani-American man, their Central Park bench conversation leads to romance.

Complications arise as her younger sister lands on her doorstep in need of a place to live and a sense of peace while wrestling with questions of her husband’s mysterious death. Supporting characters, including Christy’s 30-year-old daughter, bring their own humor and eccentricities to the uplifting story. “I wanted to write something family-centered, poetic, and both multigenerational and multicultural,” McGarry said.

McGarry has written three novels and more than 20 screenplays, features, and television pilots. Little details from McGarry’s life experiences filter into the play, coloring it with authenticity. “I taught in a community college for over 30 years and had students from so many varied countries and backgrounds. I knew that experience might serve me well in my effort to give a voice to my lead character who is from Pakistan,” McGarry said. “And I am an older woman, so the idea of having a leading lady who is middleaged or older appealed to me.”

Ashley Jones and McGarry’s husband, Paul McGarry, are behind the music, and the cast features all local actors. “I am just really grateful I can do this now that I have the time. I love every minute of it,” McGarry said.

Breaking the Code will be performed at Center Stage Theater on Saturday, August 28, at 3 and 7 p.m. and at the Namba Theater for Performing Arts in Ventura on Sunday, August 29, at 3 p.m. See centerstagetheater.org and nambaarts.com.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny CANCER

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Aries mythologist Joseph Campbell

advised us to love our fate. He said we should tell ourselves, “Whatever my fate is, this is what I need.” Even if an event seems inconvenient or disruptive, we treat it as an opportunity, as an interesting challenge. “If you bring love to that moment, not discouragement,” Campbell said, “you will find the strength.” Campbell concludes that any detour or disarray you can learn from “is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege!” Few signs of the zodiac are inclined to enthusiastically adopt such an approach, but you Aries folks are most likely to do so.

Now is an especially favorable time to use it.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The brilliant Taurus dancer and choreographer Martha Graham spoke of “a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action,” adding that “there is only one of you in all time.”

She added, “It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions.

It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” But even if you do this very well, Graham said, you will nevertheless always feel “a divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest” that will fuel you. This is the perfect message for you Tauruses to embrace in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There’s growing scientific evidence

that we make ourselves stupid by complaining too much — or even by listening to other people complain a lot. Excessive negative thoughts drain energy from our hippocampus, a part of our brain that’s essential to problem-solving. This doesn’t mean, of course, that we should avoid dealing with difficult issues. But it does suggest we should be discerning about how many disturbing and depressing ideas we entertain. According to my reading of the omens, all this will be especially useful advice for you in the coming weeks.

(June 21-July 22): Your brain contains one hundred

billion nerve cells. Each cell has the potential to be linked with tens of thousands of others. And they are always busy. Typically, your gray matter makes a million new connections every second. But I suspect your number of connections will increase even beyond that in the coming weeks. Your most complex organ will be working with greater intensity than usual. Will that be a bad thing or a good thing? It depends on whether you formulate an intention to channel your intelligence into wise analysis about important matters — and not waste it in careless fussing about trivial details.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You should have a sticky soul,” coun-

sels author Elizabeth Berg. “The act of continually taking things in should be as much a part of you as your hair color.” I especially endorse that attitude for you during the next four weeks, Leo. Your task is to make yourself extra magnetic for all the perceptions, experiences, ideas, connections, and resources you need most. By September 23, I suspect you will have gained an infusion of extra ballast and gravitas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I sing like the nightingale whose

melody is crowded in the too narrow passage of her throat,” wrote author Virginia Woolf. That was an insulting curse for her to fling at herself. I disapprove of such behavior — especially for you in the coming weeks. If you hope to be in alignment with cosmic rhythms, don’t you dare say nasty things about yourself, even in the privacy of your own thoughts. In fact, please focus on the exact opposite: flinging praise and appreciation and compliments at yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The blogger at www-wlw.tumblr.com

says the following are the top tender actions. (1) Fastening clothes or jewelry for your companion. (2) Letting them rest their head on your shoulder. (3) Idly playing

WEEK OF AUGUST 26

with their hands. (4) Brushing a leaf out of their hair.

(5) Locking pinkies. (6) Rubbing their back when you embrace. (7) Both of you wearing an item that belongs to the other. Dear Libra, I hope you will employ these tender actions with greater frequency than usual in the coming weeks. Why? In my astrological opinion, it’s a ripe time to boost your Affection Quotient with the allies you care for the most.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Naturalist Henry David Thoreau

wrote in his journal, “I feel slightly complimented when nature condescends to make use of me without my knowledge — as when I help scatter her seeds in my walk — or carry burs and cockles on my clothes from field to field. I feel as though I had done something for the commonweal.” I mention this, Scorpio, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to carry out good deeds and helpful transformations in nature’s behalf. Your ability to collaborate benevolently with plants and animals and elemental forces will be at a peak. So will your knack for creating interesting connections between yourself and all wild things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have never heard of Sagit-

tarian artist Baya Mahieddine (1931-1998). At age 16, she experienced a splash of acclaim with a show in Paris. Famous artists Pablo Picasso, Henry Matisse, and Georges Braque came. They drew inspiration from Mahieddine’s innovative use of color, elements from her Algerian heritage, and her dream-like images.

Picasso even invited her to work with him, exulting in the fresh perspectives she ignited. But her art never received the full credit it warranted. In accordance with astrological omens, this horoscope is a small way of providing her with the recognition and appreciation she deserves. It also authorizes you to go out and get the recognition and appreciation you deserve but have not yet fully received.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Who knows what is unfolding on

the other side of each hour?” asked Capricorn poet Juan Ramón Jiménez (translated by Capricorn poet Robert Bly). “How many times the sunrise was there, behind a mountain. How many times the brilliant cloud piling up far off was already a golden body full of thunder!” Your assignment, Capricorn, is to imagine what is unfolding just beyond your perception and understanding. But here’s the twist: You must steer your mind away from inclinations to indulge in fear. You must imagine that the events in the works are beautiful, interesting, or redemptive. If you’re not willing to do that, skip the exercise altogether.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Better than any argument is to rise

at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup,” wrote author Wendell Berry. I mostly agree with that sentiment, although I will also put in a good word for certain kinds of arguments. There are moments when it’s crucial for your psychological and spiritual health that you initiate a conversation about delicate issues that might lead to a dispute. However, I don’t think this is one of those times, Aquarius. In my astrological opinion, picking dew-wet red berries is far more sensible than any argument. For further inspiration, read this testimony from actor Natasha Lyonne: “I definitely would rather take a nap than get angry.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): For painter Vincent van Gogh, love wasn’t primarily a sentimental feeling. Nor was it an unfocused generalized wish for health and happiness in those he cared for. Rather, he wrote, “You must love with a high, serious, intimate sympathy, with a will, with intelligence.” His love was alert, acute, active, and energized. It was animated with a determination to be resourceful and ingenious in nurturing the beloved. For van Gogh, love was always in action, forever moving toward ever-fresh engagement. In service to intimacy, he said, “you must always seek to know more thoroughly, better, and more.” I hope you’ll make these meditations a top priority during the next seven weeks.

NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING (Electronically and Telephonically) September 7, 2021 at 5:30 P.M. Title 17 (Zoning) Amendments Case No. 21-0001-ORD ATTENTION: Pursuant to the Governor’s Executive Order N-29-20 dated March 17, 2020 and Executive Order N-08-21 dated June 11, 2021 authorizing local jurisdictions subject to the Brown Act to hold public meetings electronically and telephonically in order to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, the regular meeting of the City Council on September 7, 2021 will be conducted electronically and telephonically. It will be broadcast live on the City’s website and on Cable Goleta Channel 19. The Council Chambers will not be open to the public during the meeting. The City Council will be participating electronically and telephonically and will not be physically present in the Council Chambers.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of Title 17 Amendments (Case No: 21-0001-ORD). The date, time, and location of the City Council public hearing are set forth below. The agenda for the hearing will also be posted on the City website (www.cityofgoleta.org).

HEARING DATE/TIME: PLACE: Teleconferencing:

Tuesday, September 7, 2021 at 5:30 P.M.

Detailed instructions for participation will be included on the posted agenda

PROJECT LOCATION: The amended regulations would apply citywide, including all areas of the City within the Coastal Zone.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: On March 3, 2020, City Council adopted Title 17 (Zoning) of the Goleta Municipal Code. The proposed amendments to Title 17 include several “clean-up” amendments to Title 17 to address General Plan and State law consistency, remedy issues identified during early implementation, and provide clarity to the regulations adopted. On June 14, 2021, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the proposed Ordinance and adopted Resolution 21-06 to recommend to City Council adoption of the proposed Ordinance with one minor revision regarding permitting of canopies associated with solar energy systems. The topics for the proposed amendments include: • General Plan and State law consistency related to Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), Required Parking for Single-Unit Dwellings, and Noticing • Director Determinations • ADU Design and Historic Resources • Telecommunication Facilities • Application Fee Refunds • Zoning Exemptions for ADA Improvements • Permitting of Carports, Gazebos, Canopies, and Pergolas Associated with Solar Energy Systems • Processing of Applications in the Coastal Zone • Additional Definitions • Revised Definitions to Setbacks • Other Clarifying Revisions Environmental Review: This Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations) because the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378(b)(5) as an organizational or administrative activity by government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. The Ordinance is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because the activity is covered by the general rule which exempts activities that can be seen with certainty to have no possibility for causing a significant effect on the environment. In addition, Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning) exempt from further environmental review certain qualifying projects that are consistent with a community plan or zoning. Specifically, where a prior EIR relied upon by the lead agency was prepared for a General Plan meeting the requirements of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, any rezoning action consistent with the General Plan shall be treated as an exempt project pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines.
