How’d the day go? Sunday was like a dream, almost lake-like conditions and warm water, in between a rough Saturday swell and the weird rainbows and rains of Monday morning. That made paddling relatively easy and kept every one in positive spirits. There was a brief shark situation that forced a few people out of the water, but then that was quickly forgotten.

Our longtime senior editor Matt Kettmann stepped away from his laptop this past week end to join the 20th anniver sary of the Friendship Paddle, this time raising money and support for his close friend, the popular plein air artist Chris Potter, who is fighting a rare and aggressive cancer. It was Matt’s second time on the paddle the first was in 2016, to support longtime Indy writer Ethan Stewart, who is doing well and was also out there this weekend.

How much money did the event raise? We raised more than $200,000 for the Potters to deal with the challenges to come.

Burrito Week STORYCOVER

Where to Enjoy Seven Days of $7 Burritos by Indy Staff 23

Also on the ballot are two measures, one of which, Mea sure B, is the most critical decision Goleta voters will have to decide this year. The other is a no-brainer on the subject of flavored tobacco vapes.

LOMPOC Jenelle

Running against Kyriaco is Sam Ramirez, whom Kyriaco appointed to the Goleta Planning Commission a year and a half ago. Both Kyriaco and Ramirez are card-carrying Democrats. Kyriaco snagged the endorsement of the local party.Having served eight years on the city council of his hometown, Delano, Ramirez clearly has political chops. But even with his time with SEIU Local 620 and working at Santa Barbara City Hall for the City Clerk his depth of Goleta experience doesn’t match that of Kyriaco’s.

Ramirez opposes the proposed sales tax increase, say ing Goleta has not exhausted all efforts to negotiate a new deal with the county. We don’t buy it. Goleta has, in fact, worked hard to strike a better deal. Given the overwhelm ing need for massively expensive infrastructure and capital improvement projects, now is the time to act, not some day over the rainbow.

COURTESY

Perhaps one of the wonkiest of elected officials on the South Coast, Kyriaco went über-granular, pushing obscure zoning ordinances that rewarded developers by including childcare facilities in their projects. He pushed legislation to relieve day care providers of some of the onerous devel opment costs and mitigation fees that can price them or their families out of the market.

Check our daily website at Independent.com for continuing information on other candidate races, city measures, and state propositions. As always, the Independent only endorses in races that we have researched carefully. In this, our first installment, we are focusing on the Lompoc mayoral race and the City of Goleta.Thank you for considering our suggestions.

Endorsements So far CONGRESS ASSEMBLY

This year’s ballot offers two highly competitive races between qualified candidates all richly steeped in govern ment experience. With three Latinx candidates who are fluent in Spanish, it’s also the most diverse group Goleta has ever seen, thanks in great part to the city switching to district elections.

Nominally, both are Democrats, though Aceves whose family dates back to the founding of Santa Barbara some times casts himself as the curmudgeonly voice of more conservative opposition. Both are dedicated to the com munities they serve. Both are formidable.

City Council District 2: James Kyriaco

ver the next few weeks, the Santa Barbara Independent will be rolling out our endorsements for the November 2022 election.

City Council District 1: Luz Reyes-Martín

Kyriaco qualifies as a progressive middle-of-the-roader. He grew up in Santa Barbara and cut his teeth working on the political campaigns of such elected officials as Brian Barnwell, Roger Horton and Susan Rose, also progressive middle-of-the-roaders. On the council, he’s been an ardent advocate for the one percent sales tax increase; as propo nents point out, that’s a 50-cent surcharge on a $50 dinner.

the only councilmember to vote against the sales tax, and he actually wrote the ballot argument against it. If Goleta residents had to make do with less, he argued, so too should local government. We don’t agree.

ome, famously, was not built in a day. The City of Goleta has been at it for 20 years now, after years of languishing in the hands of Santa Bar bara county government. Back then, such jokes as “What’s the difference between Goleta and a bowl of yogurt? Yogurt has culture” were plentiful. This joke, by the way, was told by a former county supervisor who actually represented part of the Goleta Valley.

37th District: Gregg Hart GOLETA City Council, District 1: Luz Reyes-Martín City Council, District 2: James Kyriaco Measure B (One Cent Sales Tax Hike): YES Measure C (Ban on Sale of Flavored TobaccoYESProducts):

Of course, every origin story has a snake in the grass. In

his race is a classic matchup between a candidate from the old school and one from the new era. Incumbent Roger Aceves, a 16-year city coun cilman, a former Santa Barbara city cop, and the first Spanish-speaking Latino to hold elected office in Goleta, is running against the first Latina Luz ReyesMartín, a young mom who served eight years on the Goleta Union School Board.

When elected officials actually try to do what they say they’re going to do, and then deliver the goods, you endorse them. How could we not?

Since 2002, when Goleta voted to incorporate as a city, its government has effectively built a panoply of services residents would reasonably expect from any competent municipal entity. But more importantly, it has begun to offer the Goodland’s 55,000 residents an existential center of gravity where grievances can be heard and some sem blance of collective self-determination can take place.

ncumbent James Kyriaco can honestly say he has moved the needle to expand child care opportuni ties in Goleta. Long before other politicians “dis covered” that the lack of affordable quality childcare posed a palpable danger to mothers, children, families, and workplaces across America, James Kyriaco had been beating that drum ever since he was first elected four years ago . It was an effective political move, but so what? It is a desperately needed service and one that only he seems laser-focused on.

COURTESY

24th Congressional District: Salud Carbajal STATE

U.S.

City of Goleta

Goleta, it’s the much-reviled Revenue Neutrality Deal that voters effectively ratified back when they voted for city hood. It actually mandated the County of Santa Barbara to eat up an outsized slice of Goleta city’s sales tax revenues. Right now, Goleta charges a sales tax of 7.75 percent. Of that, the county and other special districts collect the 7 percent, and Goleta gets the remaining .75. Measure B must pass if the City of Goleta is going to keep roads paved, build new bike paths, expand homeless services, and criti cally, build a much-needed new fire station on the west end of town.

H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H

Ultimately, we concluded, Reyes-Martín brings more of what’s needed in the years ahead for the City of Goleta. A child of Mexican immigrants, she grew up in Downey, attended Stanford and USC, and earned two master’s degrees one in land-use planning and public adminis tration. She and her husband have lived in Goleta where they are raising their young child, for 10 years. During that time, Reyes-Martín spent three years with the City of Goleta working with emergency services and the parks, another six as communications director for City College, and now works in a leadership role at Planned Parenthood.

Within the local Democratic Party, she’s long been regarded as a rising star. No surprise. She has an open, friendly manner and speaks her mind but strives for coop eration. On the school board, she radiated an ease and civility during stressful public events. Politically, she’s both book-smart and street-smart, a genuine policy wonk with a shrewd sense of opportunity and of strategy: a pragmatic progressive.Reyes-Martín opted to sit out Measure B, the proposed sales tax increase, deferring to the will of the voters rather than staking out any position. We wish she had been bolder. But Aceves always refreshingly candid was

talgia to be indulged in. While incumbent Jenelle Osborne a Texas transplant who runs an accounting firm is not nearly so colorful or confrontational, she has brought a degree of competence and collegiality to City Hall, seeking consensus out when possible.

approved, Measure B won’t take effect until 2024. Exempt from the new tax will be gas, prescription medi cations, grocery food, and rent. Without the $42 mil lion worth of road maintenance work, road quality will continue to deteriorate to the point it will cost $78 million 10 years from now.

In response, Mosby had designed a custom-made bumper stinker featuring a pile of cow manure accompanied by the headline, “Fink Happens.” In the post-Mosby world, however, Lompoc is finding its way. New businesses are opening up and new industries being courted. A new wind is blowing through town. Please cast your vote for Jenelle Osborne. And lest you forget, “Mosby Happens.”

LOMPOCOFCITY

those with a taste for self-destructive right-wing anarchism, the mayoral candidacy of Lompoc’s Jim Mosby will come as a welcome breath of fresh air. For everyone else, Mosby’s bull-in-a-china-shop, pokethe-bear style of government all anti-taxes, anti-regulation, and let-the-free-market-run-amok is not an exercise in nos

Since Mosby a former city councilmember lost to Osborne in his last mayoral bid four years ago, Lompoc has been able to creep back from the precipice of financial ruin on which it was so precariously perched. When Mosby served on the council, he held uncommon sway. During those years, new taxes were violently rebuffed even if it meant losing one-third of the sworn officers serving on Lompoc’s police department. Ironically, the Mosby regime was all about defunding the police if from a right-wing perspective long before any Minneapolis cops put their knees on George Floyd’s neck.

City of Lompoc Mayor: Jenelle Osborne

Measure C is approved, Goleta would effectively ban the sale of flavored tobacco products in retail outlets. Those who sell vape products would be liable for admin istrative penalties up to $250. This measure mirrors a statewide ballot initiative Prop. 31 that seeks to do the same thing, though not quite as strictly. Despite protests by the tobacco industry that minors are already legally prohibited from buying such products, evidence abounds that flavored

Goleta’s sales tax rate is currently the lowest among Santa Barbara cities. It’s one percent lower than Santa Barbara’s and Santa Maria’s. Given the large influx of out-of-town shoppers who visit Goleta’s Calle Real Shopping Center home to Costco and Home Depot it’s estimated that 44 percent of the higher taxes will be paid from non-city residents.

Residents of Lompoc had to overcome the passionate opposi tion of Mosby and his confederates on the council to finally get a cannabis tax on the ballot, where it passed overwhelmingly.

Four of the five Goleta City councilmembers are support ing Measure B. The one-cent bump in the city’s sales tax will allow the city to totally bypass the Revenue Sharing Deal with the county. The council has put together a wish list for the funds, should Measure B prevail. The biggest chunk $3.3 million a year would go to road maintenance, with $1.9 million going to childcare and affordable housing, $600,000 to homeless programs, and $800,000 to creek restoration and watershed. Without Measure B funds, it will be a cold day in hell before the community center gets the rehab it desperately needs.

Mosby’s idea of urban revitalization was to allow an unlim ited number of cannabis dispensaries to open and then charge them absolutely no taxes for the privilege. The theory was to allow the cannabis industry to secure a toehold without gov ernment interference and then flourish. Currently, there are 14 dispensaries, more than the number of 7-Elevens. But in prac tice, this large number has helped to drive down the price of cannabis below the threshold required for economic survival.

Kurin, the daughter of noted cultural anthropologist Richard Kurin, the Smithso nian Institution’s Distinguished Scholar and Ambassador-at-Large, has previously been accused of misconduct. In 2016, she was placed on a three-year administrative leave from UCSB after an investigation found she had retaliated against students who reported her partner at the time for sexual harassment.

Expert Punches Holes in Cantin Debris Flow Report

SCIENCE

CITY

Three forensic expert sources have now disputed the claim made by a former UCSB anthropologist that she positively identified the remains of missing 17-year-old Montecito debris flow victim Jack Cantin.

COURTS & CRIME

Multiple attempts to reach Kurin directly were unsuccessful. Her attorney, Dave Scher, based in Washington, D.C., said Monday he would provide a written statement on Kurin’s behalf, but he did not do so by press time.

In addition, for an age-of-death estimate, Kurin used an unfused epiphysis the expanded end of bones in animals that becomes fixed to the shaft when full growth is attained to provide a range of 16-19 years. “However, typically, only a maximum age can be estimated with this information,” Pilloud said, “as individuals under 16 could also have an unfused Moreover,epiphysis.”Kurinfails to offer sound rea soning to explain how she knows the bones are of human origin, Pilloud said. The toe bone and unfused epiphysis could have hypo thetically come from another mammal. “The report correctly describes how histological analysis can differentiate human from nonhuman bone,” Pilloud said of the method that studies the microscopic anatomy of biological tissues. “But it appears no histological analysis was done on these remains.”

The comments by Pilloud, who regu larly consults on forensic casework and coauthored the book Ethics and Professionalism in Forensic Anthropology, mark the third direct challenge to Kurin’s findings. DNA test ing on the eight small bone fragments Kurin submitted last summer failed to confirm they belonged to 17-year-old Cantin, and a sepa rate outside expert determined they had been in the ground far longer than the few years since the 2018 debris flow.

by Tyler Hayden

At the time last summer, Kurin was applying for tenure at UCSB, which she was granted. However, in January, as pointed questions started being asked about her role in the Cantin investigation, she abruptly resigned her position.

‘Confusing,’ ‘Unclear,’

The techniques Kurin used to determine the remains’ antiquity and origin were often “confusing” and “unclear,” and portions of her published findings were outright “disingenu ous,” said Dr. Marin Pilloud with the Univer sity of Reno, Nevada, who reviewed a report prepared by Kurin in the case at the request of the Independent, which obtained the 31-page document through a public records request.

board certification, or even membership in professional organizations,” said Pilloud. “I am unfamiliar with any such publications by Dr. Kurin. Further, she is not a board-certified forensic anthropologist, nor am I aware of her involvement in professional organizations such as the Society of Forensic Anthropolo gists or the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.”Concerns have been raised since the begin ning of the case over how and when Kurin notified the Santa Barbara County Coroner’s Bureau of her discovery, as well as the manner in which she publicly announced through the media alongside a grieving Kim Cantin that the teen’s remains had finally been unearthed after three long years of searching.

NEWS

Digging into the specifics of Kurin’s report, Pilloud noted that Kurin estimated the stature of the person the remains allegedly belonged to based on metatarsal (foot) measurements. “Yet no metatarsal bone was recovered,” Pilloud said. “Instead, a pedal phalanx (toe bone) is noted as being recovered, and as far as I know, there are no methods to estimate stature from a toe bone, and none are cited in the “Thereport.”antiquity of the remains is also slightly confusing,” Pilloud continued. “When remains are skeletonized, it can be difficult to provide a maximum age, as once bones are

skeletonized, they can stay skeletonized for decades, centuries, or even much, much lon ger.” It was not clear from Kurin’s analysis how she determined the bones had been buried for only two to three years, Pilloud said.

In the latest, perhaps last, and certainly most shocking decision amid a career of traditionbucking moves, Yvon Chouinard (above) is donating his ownership of Patagonia to fund environmental causes. The decision to move his family’s estimated $3 billion in ownership value to the Patagonia Holding Trust and the Holdfast Collective was announced by the company to employees and in the New York Times on 9/14. The company itself will remain a for-profit entity, but each year’s dividends estimated at $100 million annually will further empower efforts to save the planet from climate change.

‘Disingenuous’

Pilloud lastly wondered about Kurin’s qualifications to carry out such an investiga tion, given her professional background in bioarchaeology, the study of skeletal remains in historical contexts. Forensic anthropolo gists, meanwhile, work with modern cases that fall within the scope of law enforcement inquiries.“There are several ways to demonstrate expertise and qualifications within forensic anthropology through publication record,

UCSB assistant professor Dr. Danielle Kurin was acting far beyond her expertise when she declared the remains of missing Montecito debris flow victim Jack Cantin had been found, and she conducted analyses “that did not seem to be based in scientific methods,” a leading forensic anthropologist opined this week.

A false alarm call that there was an active shooter on the loose at Bishop Diego High School in Santa Barbara was one of five hoax calls made 9/14 involving California schools. The FBI is investigating these calls as part of a possible coordinated action, but no such determination has been made. S.B. Police spokesperson Sgt. Ethan Ragsdale said nearly 100 law enforcement officers were immediately dispatched to Bishop Diego when the 9-1-1 call came in shortly before 1 p.m., alerting dispatchers that an active shooting was taking place. It took law enforcement about half an hour to inspect the school’s interior and exterior to determine that no active shooter was, in fact, present.

“The report does not broadly follow best practices within the field, and it is difficult to understand how these conclusions are being made,” Pilloud said.

Email exchanges between Kurin and the Coroner’s Bureau obtained by the Indepen dent also reveal Kurin falsely claimed to investigators that her work had been peerreviewed by a colleague with a doctorate and a professorship at Washington State University. In reality, that individual was a graduate stu dent and adjunct instructor on whose PhD committee Kurin sat.

OFFICESHERIFF’SBARBARASANTA

The earlier DNA testing, conducted by a genome sequencing laboratory in Santa Cruz, found no evidence to substantiate Kurin’s claim that the bone fragments were human. In fact, the lab said, it was more likely they came from a cow.

Cantin’s mother, Kim, remains convinced of Kurin’s conclusions and is in a protracted dispute with the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office over possession of the bone fragments. She has claimed the department is unfairly deny ing her the ability to declare her son deceased and officially bury him. Kim’s attorney, Barry Cappello, did not return a request for com ment for this story.

While not quite the Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the healthy spike in city revenues bed taxes and sales taxes combined have many in City Hall salivating on where the unexpected revenues might best be spent. Bed taxes collected in the month of August ($3.59 million) came in nearly 20 percent higher than budgeted, and sales tax revenues for the fiscal year 2022 ($28.5 million) are 22.7 higher than anticipated. The higher-than-expected bed taxes reflect the enduring strength of tourist demand for hotel beds and the high rates currently being charged.

Dungan was found guilty of three felony counts of second-degree murder on August 2, following an emotionally charged trial that recounted the events leading up to and following the fatal collision on October 25, 2019. The prosecution team led by dep uty district attorneys Megan Chanda and Stephen Wagner originally sought three counts of first-degree murder and built a case that a suicidal and homicidal Dungan purposely plowed his car into Bley’s Chevy Volt, ejecting her from the vehicle and kill ing the two children trapped inside.

His mother, Niki Gleason, said the idea of “lumping their lives together” as a con current sentence would be hurtful, and his sister, Callie Gleason, said that Dungan’s actions were representative of “young men across the country killing without regard.”

N early three years after intentionally swerving his Chevy Camaro into oncoming traffic at nearly 120 miles per hour in October 2019 smashing head-on into another vehicle and killing 34-year-old Rebecca Vanessa Goss Bley and her two children John Dungan was sentenced to three consecutive terms of 15 years to life by Judge Thomas Adams in Santa Barbara on Monday.

The prosecution closed by reminding the court of the evidence brought forward during the seven-week trial: Dungan was by all accounts a mentally troubled indi vidual, who was found guilty of stalking an ex-girlfriend months before the incident. After that, he was found in possession of numerous rifles and thousands of rounds of ammo, and he was placed on a GPS-mon itoring program. Minutes before crash ing on Highway 154, Dungan removed the ankle monitor and threw it into the bushes on the side of the road. Then, when approaching Cold Spring Canyon Bridge, he veered into the opposite lane gas pedal to the floor and removed his seatbelt, intent on killing himself and whoever he happened to hit.

Judge Adams read the pre-sentencing report, detailing its findings that Dungan’s actions were intentional and that he “posed a danger to the safety of the community” if released. His ruling followed the recom mendations of the report, sentencing Dun gan to 15 years to life for each of the three counts, to be served consecutively. He will serve 45 years to life. n

Deputy District Attorney Wagner said these actions displayed “aggravation and callous disregard,” and that Dungan “never once asked about the victims.”

Dungan sat quietly through the com ments, eyes locked on the judge’s bench.

In June, the Supreme Court voted to abolish the “good cause” clause, used by local governments to limit concealed weapons permits only to those who show a good cause for such protection. Judges and jewelry store salespeople fit the profile.

Under the Supreme Court ruling, Sheriff Brown has 90 days to process application. Given the high volume of applications and staffing shortages, Brown’s department may struggle to meet the court-imposed dead lines. Applicants can also submit applica tions to the Lompoc and Santa Maria Police chiefs. Prior to June 22, the Sheriff’s Office had issued 93 concealed weapons permits.

He suggested more dis cussion take place before the ordinance was passed and more thought should be given to reopening certain State Street blocks with few to no parklets to car traffic. “A lot of peo ple want their Santa Barbara back,” he said.

MENTAL HEALTH

arlier this month, a Santa Barbara County inmate with serious mental health challenges and awaiting transfer to a state psychiatric hospital for treatment died at Santa Barbara’s Northern Branch Jail. According to mental-health advocates, the woman was just one of dozens of mentally ill inmates left to languish in county jail while awaiting transfers and treatment.

In response to protracted treatment short ages in state psychiatric hospitals, jail officials had launched a competency restoration pro gram of their own inside county jail. That program has 10 patients. Competency not to be confused with sanity indicates an ability to assist with one’s own defense. Those deemed IST cannot.

COURTESY

Chermak was one of 38 individuals serving time in Santa Barbara County Jail facing such mental health challenges that they’d been deemed by the courts to be Incompetent to Stand Trial (IST) on felony charges, accord ing to mental health advocates. Typically, such individuals are transferred to state psy chiatric hospitals, where their competency is restored, but the waiting list has become so long that many inmates languish in their respective county jails, awaiting transfer and treatment. Of the IST inmates in county jail,

The waiting list for IST inmates to get into the Jail Based Competency Treatment Pro gram is typically two weeks to two months, said Zick. By contrast, it typically takes three months to a year to get placed in a state hos pital. Zick added that the jail-based program gets faster results. Competency, she said, is typically restored in the jail-based program in 51 days. In state hospitals, she said, the average is 90Santadays.Barbara judges like Brian Hill have noted in past interviews that many of the inmates found IST have been neither tried nor convicted, yet they have spent more time inside county jail awaiting restoration of their competency than they would have had they served out the sentence for the crimes for which they’d been charged. This, said Hill in a previous interview, constituted a significant civil rights issue.

“I think it’s absolutely beautiful,” said Com missioner Cass Enberg, who praised Meaney’s team for addressing development priorities such as adaptive reuse of existing structures, creating four buildings spread throughout the space instead of one big mass, and adding walkable paseo and arcade spaces. “It’s just quintessential Santa Barbara,” she said.

three- and four-story mixeduse developments in a Spanish Mediterranean style seem to dominate the most recent attempts at tackling housing in Santa Barbara, one project stands out as doing it “the right way” — at least according to the Historic Landmarks Commission, which gave a glowing review last Wednesday, September 14, to the proposed 39-unit adaptive reuse project on the corner of Chapala and Ortega streets.The project sits at the site of the former Volkswagen dealership, at a property with a deep family connection spanning more than 70 years. The Van Wyk family opened the dealership in the ’50s, and it was operated by family members well into the ’90s. The family still owns the property, and enlisted architect Tom Meaney to design a pedestrianfriendly development that would perfectly fit the character of downtown Santa Barbara. Tom Meaney is the grandson of founder A.C. Van Wyk and the son of Greta Van Wyk and Jack Meaney; the late Garry Van Wyk ran the dealership for decades.

At first glance, the proposed design fits the mold of a string of similar mixed-use hous ing developments making their way through the city’s review boards: three to four stories tall, with the ever-present elements of white stucco, sandstone, and red-tile roofs. But Meaney — who has a background in both architecture and fine art and was driven even more by the fact that this project is a family operation — took it a step further, incorpo rating new ideas and details into a visually striking take on Santa Barbara’s classic archi tectural style.

While

That’s when Minerva reached out to the Cottage Center for Weight Loss Surgery.

“Mr. Meaney, I consider you to be a mod ern master, having a firm grasp on the lan guage of Santa Barbara’s architecture, and this is a great example of that work,” said Commissioner Robert Ooley. Both Ensberg and Ooley went as far as to say the design had potential to become a “future historical landmark.”Inacity that typically picks apart new developments in drawn-out back-and-forth battles, the Chapala Street project is an exam ple of how planners and city boards can work together to achieve a common goal — even in the strict El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District. While the project received a height exemp tion, the designers chose to space out the units, offering 39 rentals spread over 30,000 square feet and an additional 5,000 square feet of commercial space. They were also able to provide 27 parking spaces, despite the zon ing code not requiring residential parking in theCommissionarea.

The project design was unanimously approved and will return for a final hearing, though the only directions given to Meaney were to address noise mitigation, balcony materials, and detailing on wrought-iron and tile design. Finally, the commission gave a rare green light on creative freedom and encouraged Meaney to feel free to add “even more of a personal touch” to the project.

“I cannot make those findings for a modification. I don’t see this as a public benefit,” Benefield said. “Retail is nice; retail is good, but it doesn’t measure up to being a public benefit. I like this project, but we don’t let other people off the hook with a parking modification.”

The development team is headed by a group of local families led by Andy Morris, Matt and Jim Taylor, Whit Hollis, and Jack and Jeff Theimer who were handpicked because of their connection to the community and willing ness to create something more than just a money grab. Each family has experience with hospitality and real estate, with the Theimer family being known for developing Storke Ranch in Goleta, Ennisbrook in Montecito, and Beaver Creek in Colorado.

Nick Bobroff, principal planner with the City of Car pinteria, said the development is currently in the process of receiving permits, and the project’s developers are looking to hold off on beginning construction until after the annual Avocado Festival on October 1. The project could break ground by the end of this year.

64 spaces, then 48. Eventually, the final approved plans included a 20-space parking lot.

The project which was designed by architect Kevin Moore, who serves as chair of Santa Barbara’s Architectural Board of Review was scheduled for its first conceptual review with the Carpinteria Planning Commission earlier this month, but the hearing was postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date.

be a step toward sustainable tourism, based around the com munity and walkable areas, as opposed to out-of-town devel opers dropping in and creating a big-city tourist trap.

The project is fully approved through Carpinteria’s Plan ning Commission and Architectural Review Board, where it received near unanimous approval despite concerns over the size of the development and parking modifications granted due to the “public benefit” provided by the project.

“This is the people’s property,” Mulford said. The same letter alleges numerous “violations to Carpinteria’s General Plan,” citing that the land was acquired for public use and should remain that way.

Early designs show a ground-level lobby and reception area with a bar and restaurant, along with six rooms facing the surrounding street. The upper level would include the additional 11 rooms.

Hearing that the hotel would be built on what is consid ered by city residents to be “community space” raised the eyebrows of many locals, who crowded public hearings and criticized the idea of public land being used for commercial purposes.InNovember

City residents will vote on Measure T in November. If it fails, the project returns to the regular city review process for approval.

The space will be more of an “urban park,” intended to draw people into “the heart of Carpinteria,” with sev eral local businesses reportedly already showing interest in leasing space, including owners of Santa Barbara hotspots Corazón Cocina, Milk & Honey, and The Blue Owl.

During the same July meeting, Carty encouraged those opposed to the hotel to take a step back, referring to social media posts calling for the recall of city leaders over the issue. “I don’t appreciate that. I urge everybody to be respectful and take it from there,” he said.

Much further along the development pipeline, and by con trast more widely accepted than the Surfliner Inn, is the 700 Linden Avenue project a full city block of adaptive reuse retail and commercial space that will house a hodge podge of eateries, coffee shops, markets, and a rooftop bar.

small-town identity may be going through some big changes soon, with three big-thinking developments slated to reshape the look and feel of the main strip on Linden Avenue.

Since then, more than 1,000 city residents signed a peti tion to put the matter to voters in this November’s election in the form of a ballot initia tive: Measure T. The initiative was backed by the nonprofit YES! Save Our Downtown Open Space, and it places the future of the two city lots to a vote if Measure T passes, the two lots will be zoned as open space/recreation, which could kill the future of the Surfliner.Fourmembers of the city council including Mayor Wade Nomura and coun cilmembers Carty, Natalia Alarcon, and Roy Lee have since singed their own “Argu ment Against Measure T,” in which they say the measure is a “misguided” attempt to sidestep the usual city review to stop the hotel. “The Surfliner, like any other project, is required to go through public review,” the letter reads, “but that will not happen if Measure T passes and your voice on the hotel project may not be heard.”

2020, a group called the Coalition Against the Railroad Hotel, led by locals Judy Mulford and Marla Daily, penned a letter to the city council, worrying that the project had “grown in size” to the point of overtaking the corridor south of the railroad tracks and a portion of a community garden adjacent to the property.

Since then, the opposition to the project has grown stron ger, despite several attempts by the developers to work with the city’s residents, reduce the size of the project, and even adjust plans to keep the community garden untouched.

“We stripped buildings to their bones and revealed their original hardware and architectural foundations,” the description reads. “We then enhanced these features with new architecture that echoes the shapes and geometrical designs of the original buildings.”

Despite attempts to extend an olive branch to the opposition to no avail, the developers have won over city staff and leadership who say Carpinteria needs to adjust to growing trends up and down the coast.

The only member of either board to vote against the project was Planning Commission Chair Jane Benefield, who was concerned that the board was being too generous with its concessions because they were all in favor of the development. The project was initially required to provide

3. How much treatment will your condition require? Don’t Hesitate to Act Now!

We can objectively measure the severity of deficit in both small and large nerve fibers prior to start of care.

Nearly 60% of Peripheral Neuropahty patients are Diabetics. ref: The foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy. June 2018

The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Santa Barbara that offers you new hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neuropathy severity consultation at the end of this article).

Large nerve fiber = numbness • Small nerve fiber = pain

Santa Barbara, CA Diabetes along with age, smoking, exposure to chemotherapy, post surgical and motor vehicle accidents are all risk factors for peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes is the largest cohort, making up nearly 60% of all peripheral neuropathy cases. Among diabetics, up to 50% have measurable evidence of peripheral neuropathy but no symptoms. Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is the most common long term complication of Diabetes. This can progress from sensory complications to leg/foot ulcers and ultimately gangrene and amputation. Nerve fibers affected with neuropathy include large nerve fibers which are principally associated with numbness and small nerve fibers seen with pain and burning symptoms.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy, three factors must be determined.

1. What is the underlying cause?

The cell signaling therapy is like watering a tree. The treatment will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

“Our office treatment program is covered by Medicare or other insurance coverage. It will be determined as free of charge, have co-payment, or not be covered prior to start of care.” Santa Barbara Regenerative Health Clinic 1919 State Street Suite 302, Santa Barbara CA. Call 805-450-2891

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes electronic cell signaling delivering modulating energy wavelengths at both low and middle frequencies. The signaling improves cell-to-cell communication among small nerve fibers.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

Now, they’re working to make sure all of our elections go their way in the future, whether we vote for them or not.

’m grateful to our Congressmember Salud Carba jal for supporting military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. I urge him to continue to support both. I grew up in Santa Barbara but have spent the last six years living in Ukraine. Russia’s invasion forced my family to relocate and we were the fortunate ones. My wife’s family is from Mariupol. While I grew up celebrating my childhood birthday parties at Goleta Beach, my wife spent her childhood enjoy ing the beaches around Mariupol. The difference is that while I can still return to bring my little son to Thousand Steps to explore the tidepools, the beaches in Mariupol are now a mined wasteland, my wife’s childhood home is a pile of rubble, and many of her friends and family are dead.

How it would be possible now and for decades to increase California’s zero-carbon elec tricity production fundamentally and simultaneously to eliminate 17 percent of existing zero-carbon elec tricity is an open question. Now is the time to expand, not diminish, use of nuclear energy. Retention of Diablo Canyon Power Plant is part of the answer to a reduced fossil-fuel future.

Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Legislature deserve kudos for the decision to keep Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant operational for another five years past its originally scheduled closure in 2025. It is undoubtedly the case that, when the new closure date is closer in another five years or so, this vital, environmentally friendly component of California’s comprehensive energy delivery system

As a young dad, his smile was often under wraps, closed mouth and quiet. When he became Gramps, his smile opened up and often ended with a laugh. Toward the end of his life, that big toothy smile and deep hearty chuckle had been given freely and easily to his family and many friends.After his diagnosis, Ken decided he wasn’t going to “fight cancer”. Anyone who knew his true char acter, knew he wasn’t one for a fight. Instead, he lived with cancer, savoring time with those he loved. And in the end he even learned to “two-step” to maneuver about. After 84 years of life, he finally learned to dance.Ken modeled godliness for his family, showing us that everyone is important and worthy of love, atten tion and care. He lived every aspect of his life unto the Lord and he was humble in his successes, giving glory to God the Father. He made sacrifices so his daughters, Donna and Teresa, could have music les sons and go to summer camp. He made time for his grandkids, Joshua, Jacob, Jessica, Harrison and Christine, and their projects. He always saved some bacon or turkey for his good dog, Charlie. He taught us to love God, love others and love

Mr. Orton, a man from church, was so impressed by Ken’s block print, popular among architects, that he went on to ask Ken to draw up some plans for a house. And although Ken ultimately failed at this project, he later became a suc cessful architect, designing for over 40 years, providing architectural and planning services in many dif ferent types of work, from small additions and remodels to major commercial projects.

After his career in architec ture, Ken focused on his hobby of woodworking and boat making. As a boatwright, he was precise and exacting, turning humble pieces of wood into a beautiful masterpiece.

To him there were no obstacles, only opportunities.Theirdaughter Jennifer Devi was born in 1982, and son Dan iel Bailey completed the family in 1986. The children were Jack’s pride and joy. He never missed a chance to attend Jennifer’s musical performances or Daniel’s baseball games, or learn how to use a new tech device. In 2007 he welcomed Justin Stuler into the family as a new son-in-law, and was blessed over the years with three precious granddaughters. Last year he hap pily met his future daughter-in-law, Shaunah Stolaroff, and was looking forward to their wedding next year.

After working in Hong Kong for 10 months, Jack came to the U. S. and traveled throughout the country taking orders for men’s suits and shirts. Less than two years later (in 1972) he decided to open his own business with his best friend, Hiro Nasta, and Fashion Tailors was begun in Santa Barbara. Leading into a retail store, Fashion Tailors and Imports, opened down town in December 1973.

But over the years, his career was more than successful. This wasn’t how Ken measured the worth of a man, though. He believed in being kind to strangers, loving his family well, investing in the lives of others, often those that society had writ ten off. He would see the potential in another, nurture and encourage it until that person would come to know and believe in their own strengths and worthiness. In turn, those friends would walk away a more complete person.

world.Ken was known all over town and was loved and respected for his quiet, contemplative presence, thoughtfulness, and great kindness.

Jack was a people person, tak ing a genuine interest in anyone he met. Family and food (it will bring us together) were very important. Taking time to connect—along with offering enough to eat—was his true generous nature. Encour aging others with Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds—plus Action—was a lifelong motto he excelled at. Since 2014, attending the Santa Barbara Vedanta Temple was an important connection to his upbringing. Traveling, hiking, tak ing long walks at Shoreline Park, studying economics and reading were a few of his other passions.

Kenneth O. Minor passed away peacefully, at home with his family on September 6, 2022. He lived a full life, following Jesus and lov ing others. He led by example and shared life lessons. In his last days, he told us this story:

Orton later got Ken his very first job, as a draftsman. When one of Ken’s friends commented on the importance of seeing potential and investing in a teenager’s life, Ken nodded and said, “That’s my point.”

In 1973 Jack unexpectedly met Susan Bailey at a local grocery store. After becoming friends, they were inseparable. Married in 1974, they began an extraordinary jour ney together. He was a jack-of-all trades and an entrepreneur, and throughout life his curiosity led to many interests.

In 1963, the Daily family moved to a home they bought on Middle Road. Less than a year later, the Coyote Fire burned through the Mountain Drive community, and their Middle Road house served for weeks as the evacuation hub for the Mountain Drive–rs, with families, friends, children, and several dozen cats, dogs, and horses spread out over the property. At age 7, Brian delighted in being the morning doughnut passer-outer.Withthemove to Middle Road, Brian began surfing at Hammond’s and attended Montecito Union followed by Laguna Blanca. When it came time for high school and with her elder daughter at UCSB the now-divorced Natalie Daily decided her sons should be bicultural and bilingual, so in 1968 she packed her children and a AAA road map into her blue 1965 Mustang and drove to Guadalajara, Mexico, where she rented a house and enrolled the boys in summer school. This routine continued until the summer of 1973 when she kept on driving to San Jose, Costa Rica. Natalie had learned of an incredible, private high school called Country Day, run by the finest teachers imported from the U.S. and financed by the American criminal financier Robert Vesco to educate his children. Gordon and Brian were enrolled as soon as they arrived. Two years later, Natalie and Gordon returned to Santa Barbara, but Brian chose to stay and live with a local family. At school he assembled and sold Italian submarine sandwiches to the students at lunchtime to finance his weekend bus tickets in search of surf spots. Costa Rica’s “pura vida” was infused into his veins.

There will be a dedicated mass for him at Our Lady of Guada lupe on Friday October the 7th at 12 noon, & a celebration of life reception to follow

Brian began building his dream a relaxed jungle adventure lodge that was home to monkeys and macaws, coatis and sloths, with a front yard expanse of exceptional surf. For more than 30 years, Brian shared his love of the jungle and his simple Costa Rican way of life Pura Vida

Ramon Zarate Angel Jr. 10/16/1952 - 9/18/2022

Ramon (aka: Ray, Angel, Car dine, High Booty, and Poppy) was a dedicated family man, an avid fisherman and a lover of old cars. He spent much of his life fishing for the “Big One” in many desti nations but loved Lake Cachuma (he rarely missed a trout derby) and the Santa Barbara Waterfront above all. Upon his retirement from the union in the 2000’s he fulfilled a lifelong dream of own ing a bait shop on Stearns Wharf which he named ANGEL’S BAIT AND TACKLE and built his dream home in Mexico.

BY MARLA DAILY

In October 1987, a friend asked Brian if he would “sit in” for him on a dive to San Nicolas Island his wife was expected to give birth. Always one to help a friend, Brian agreed. While returning from the island in heavy seas, Bounty’s load shifted and the vessel sank midway between San Nicolas and Santa Cruz islands with three divers aboard. One mayday went out at 6 p.m. It was picked up by the Vail & Vickers crew aboard Vaquero II while on a cattle run down

It was in 1988 that Brian bought his first of sev eral parcels on the Osa Peninsula in Cabo Mata Palo, Costa Rica, home to the premier surf spot Backwash Bay. Thus Encanta La Vida was born. Spanish for “enchanted life,” it literally translates to “loving life.”

Burial at Calvary Cemetery and Reception following at the Veteran’s Hall 112 W. Cabrillo Blvd. all are welcome!

Next came Brian’s Wilson dive boat Ysleña. After years of service, he towed the boat north to dive near Fort Bragg. With Brian underwater gathering urchins, the boat dragged anchor, his air hose wrapped around the propeller, and Ysleña went on the rocks. Brian swam to safety, and the vessel was salvaged. Brian moved on to purchase Deborah Ann, an aft-cabin Radon. He sold the vessel when an opportunity came up to buy his most recent dive boat, Jan Marie

The following Halloween morning, with private aircraft arranged by Brian’s siblings from Channel Islands Aviation, Aspen Helicopters, and fish-spotter pilot Johan Huelman, two of the three Bounty divers were spotted treading water in heavy seas just before noon the following day. Brian had tied a bright hotpink swordfish buoy on a long rope to his ankle, which led to their discovery. Green dye packets were thrown from the spotter plane, the location was relayed to a Coast Guard helicopter, and within the hour, the two survivors were lifted from the water. The third diver was never found. Through binoculars, Brian’s siblings anxiously watched from separate circling planes as the helicopter lifted two men out of the heavy seas in a hoist. When Brian’s blonde hair reflected in the mid day sun, we knew Brian had survived. The Coast Guard said it was an unprecedented rescue 16 hours after a mayday.

1957-2022

Ramon was always restoring or buying and selling classic cars and rarely owned less than 5 vehicles at a time. He was a classic just like his cars; animated, funny and full of life. He loved life, people and was known by many. But the greatest joy in life were his loving daughters, 5 grandchildren and 2 greatSadlygrandchildren.andsurprisingly he was taken from us too soon due to health complications from a kidney transplant earlier this year. He passed away at the home of his sister Martha Angel surrounded by family and loved ones. A spe cial thank you to Martha and her family for providing her home in those final days, Pueblo Del Rey for funeral arrangements, Visiting Nurses for assistance and most specially for round the clock care by his devoted daughters and eldest granddaughter. It was an amazing expression of love.

rian Ellis Daily was born on June 26, 1957, in Allison Park, Pennsylvania, the third child behind his siblings, Marla and Gordon. Two years later, the fam ily moved to Santa Barbara where his father, a research psychologist, had been transferred. Unbeknownst to the family, the house they rented sight unseen at 226 East Mountain Drive was the central hub of Bobby Hyde’s Mountain Drive Bohemian community.

Richard was born & raised in Santa Barbara, the eldest child of Richard Sr. & Barbara Avila.

INDEPENDENT.COM $7 SECONDBURRITOSBURRITOSANNUALSEVEN-DAYSTRETCH

Our second annual edible affair, which runs from September 22-28, includes 10 restaurants from western Goleta to Santa Claus Lane, each stuffing burritos with homemade formulas featuring birria, sausage gravy, falafel, zucchini, pasilla chile, or, for purists, simply beans, rice, and meat.

Santa Barbara Food Connection is now open where the old Dave’s Dogs was located near the top of Milpas Street’s commercial corridor. Joe Silva started the Connection as a food truck and ran it for six strong years before moving into a brick-and-mortar location this summer. He now serves authentic Mexican cuisine as well as bacon burgers and fully loaded fries.

Available during normal hours. 626 W. Micheltorena St., (805) 962-4028; and 2030 Cliff Drive, Ste. 1A, (805) 966-3863; supercucasrestaurant.com

Full disclosure: I have eaten more El Zarape breakfast burritos than any other to-go item in Santa Barbara, only partially because I live on the Westside. Usually, I opt for the straightforward egg, rice, and beans, so this Burrito Week variation is kind of like trading in your Hyundai for a Lexus.

Gone are the plebeian if deliciously filling rice and beans, replaced by potatoes that would delight as home fries all on their own. But the #7 burrito has more than just starch ballast on its wellplancha-ed tortilla. It stars pasilla chiles, grilled, but still giving that good green crunch. Then there’s a heaping helping of avocado, offering lots of nutty creami ness, and a healthy melt of cheese guar anteed to goo into strings. Egg also gets grilled and woven into the mix; El Zarape always serves its burritos portioned so you get a bit of every ingredient in each pleasing bite.

BIRRIA BURRITO

BURRITO (THE #7)

When I came in to try the delicious Super Cucas Week Burrito, it was during a wave of unusually high temps. The humidity was thick, rain was in the forecast, and a gray apocalyptic feeling hung in theDuckingair.

SUPER WEEKCUCAS:BURRITO

—Rebecca Horrigan

The Birria Burrito came with the stewed meat’s traditional partner of consommé which is the birria broth as well as freshly fried chips and salsa. Silva wraps up his deliciously tender birria with a hefty amount of fried cheese plus rice, beans, cilantro, and onion into a tortilla that’s crisped on the griddle. The key to pairing the burrito’s light crunchiness is dipping it into the warm consommé, squeezing fresh lime wedge, and dolloping on some salsa de aguacate. Enjoy it with one of the ice-cold aguas frescas that Santa Barbara Food Connection regularly sells.

into Super Cucas on Micheltorena with the familiar side porch teeming with locals fresh off work and in for their favorite Mexican fare, I was instantly comforted. Even more so when I took a bite of their massive burrito spe cial filled with rice, beans, onions, cilantro, and carne asada. The tender carne asada is my favorite, but you can choose from any of their mouth-watering meat options, including pastor, pollo, or carnitas. Whatever you choose, I definitely recommend slathering this beautiful creation in their perfectly balanced salsa verde.

HOME PLATE GRILL TRAINWRECK & G-TOWN BREAKFAST BURRITOS

BURRITO WEEK!

—Xavier Pereyra

Available Mon-Fri, 7-11 a.m. and Sat-Sun all day. 1435 San Andres St.; (805) 899-2711; elzarapesantabarbara.com

Home Plate always participates in both Burger Week and Burrito Week, and this year’s two breakfast burritos are the Trainwreck a peppery, creamy mix of eggs, bacon, sausage gravy, tater tots, and cheddar cheese that goes great with their orange salsa and the G-Town, an avocado- and meat-forward combo of eggs, tri-tip, Italian sausage, Ortega chilis, grilled jala peños, and cheddar cheese.

Hidden behind a 7-Eleven in the west ern Goleta neighborhood of El Encanto Heights, the Home Plate Grill is an elemental American diner. The kitchen’s sizzling griddle is not hidden from the smattering of tables and booths, nor are the extra napkin dispensers, shelves of condiments, and bulletin board of com munity flyers. There’s a sports twist too, with live games and/or highlight reels flickering on the TVs as ’90s rock music provides the soundtrack.

The formula feels perfectly functional as the restaurant approaches its seventh year in business. A former construc tion professional, Ken Johnston opened the restaurant in 2016 to be close to his brother, Rusty Johnston. Back in 2008, Rusty and his wife, Amanda, renovated The Falls, a longtime dive bar in the same strip mall, into the Roundin’ Third Sports Bar. But then Rusty died right after Ken opened Home Plate, leaving Amanda to run the bar.

“That one’s more for hangovers,” Ken told me, pointing to the Trainwreck, and then aimed at the G-Town. “And that one’s more spicy.” Loaded with proteins, carbs, big flavors, and complex textures, they’d both work for hangovers, or just for starting your day deliciously, with no need for lunch.

PHOTOSKETTMANNMATT

Owner Raul Gil and his team won a Foodie Award way back in 2016 and have been open for two decades, so their well-loved local joint isn’t the trendiest or prettiest spot. But if you want to kick off your day with a sigh of contentment, start here. And while all the salsas are stellar, the kicky green tomatillo matches the color and flavor profile of the #7 best. —George Yatchisin

As I continued to indulge, a tropical drizzle began to fall. Was the humidity breaking? Although I can’t predict the weather, of this I am certain: A Super Cucas burrito is sure to satisfy. The tasty taqueria opened in 1991 and now has three Santa Barbara locations. Winner of the Indy’s Best of Santa Barbara® Burrito year in and year out, Cucas remains a nourishing constant in a changing world.

SANTA BARBARA FOOD CONNECTION:

—Matt Kettmann

The only vegan selection on our roster of Burrito Week entries made my mouth water before I even arrived. I’ve had Foxtail’s falafels before, and knew I was in for a non-traditional treat. Savory falafel balls coalesce with tahini sauce (tahini, tomato, cucumber, and lemon juice), hummus, romaine lettuce, and cucum ber, all wrapped up in a super-sized pita that’s grilled for a touch of extra crunch. Served with extra tahini and super-spicy habibi sauce on the side, the falafel burrito is a vegan delight that will satisfy the hungriest of palates.

It isn’t every day you take a first bite that effectively arrests all of your senses at once rarer still to indulge in a burrito that manages to capitalize on that first-bite feel with every sub sequent offering. Enter: Los Agaves’ Garden Burrito. The beloved Santa Barbara establishment (with loca tions on De la Vina, Milpas, and in Goleta) has turned out another note worthy, tortilla-wrapped delicacy that deserves the highest praise from herbivores like myself.

LOS GARDENAGAVES:BURRITO(PLUSMEATOPTIONS)

As its name suggests, the Garden Burrito is full of veggies that walk the fine line between taste and texture. Grilled zucchini, green and red bell peppers, and carrots, all perfectly prepared, lend this burrito the utmost flavor with a subtle crunch to boot. Add pinto beans and Monterey Jack cheese to this melty medley and witness a burrito that is truly and transcendentally greater than the sum of its parts.

Nestled between the Palace Café and Rascal’s on Cota Street, Foxtail Kitchen sits on one of the hippest little side streets in Santa Barbara, just around the corner yet worlds away from the hustle and bustle of State Street. When you step into Foxtail Kitchen, you know you’re in a locals’ joint, with twinkling lights, wood-paneled walls, and friendly bartenders. While they specialize in Mediterranean fare, there’s something for everyone on the menu, from the Make N Bacon burger to a variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free items.

This Burrito Week, one thing is unmistakably clear: Los Agaves understood the assignment. —Don Brubaker

LOS RUNAWAYARROYOS:BURRITO

It’s no surprise that the chicken and al pastor burritos are the most popular specialties served at the original Los Arroyos Restaurant on Figueroa Street so much so that they’re known simply as the Runaway. Chef/founder Tony Arroyo prepares the classical Mexican meal-in-one with a perfect mixture of grilled chicken or grilled pork, paired with brown beans, rice, Jack cheese, onions, cilantro, and guacamole.Besureto accompany your burrito with at least one of the three salsas, made fresh daily: a mild pico gallo, the smooth avocado, or the spicier quemada. I would also recommend ordering one of their great salads. The Mama Ensalada is my favorite, full of seasonal veggies and refreshing flavors. It goes great with either of the burritos.

KETTMANNMATT

It’s always a joy to eat at Los Arroyos. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the kitchen crew turns out an amazing variety of dishes quickly and beautifully presented. But this is Burrito Week, so take a friend, order one of each chicken and al pastor and share. Whether you eat inside the pleasant, tiled dining room, or al fresco at the outside parklet, you will leave happy and satisfied. —Marianne Partridge Any time of the day, only available at 14 W. Figueroa St.; (805) 962-5541; losarroyos.net

At Yona Redz, the line goes out the door and down to the corner on busy nights.Expect no different during Burrito Week, when they’re serving an outstanding Birria des Res burrito from 5 p.m. until closing or earlier, if they run out. The popular restau rant is on the State Street Promenade block anchored by Joe’s Café on one end and Hana Kitchen on the other. On a breezy September afternoon, the flowers and leaves from a tree overhead drifted down onto a savory example of what slowcooking can do for a cut of beef shoulder.

In this secret family recipe from his mother’s mother, owner Jonathan Estrada would only admit to guajillo chiles, California chiles (a k a Anaheim chiles), “and some spices” as making up the deep-red broth where the beef simmers for hours. Peruano beans, Spanish rice, melty cheese, leaves of cilantro, and crunchy onions are tucked into the burrito, all wrapped in a tortilla, saffron-colored from being dipped in the broth. If you order consommé on the side for another few bucks, you’ll get a helping of the broth the meat was braised in for dipping. Out of this world.

veggie, bean and cheese, etc. hasn’t caught on as a more common menu item. The only other place that has one, at least that I can think of, is Taco Bell, and to say Padaro Beach Grill’s version is better is a criminal understatement. When asked if they would consider keeping it on their menu after Burrito Week ends (it’s that good), Padaro manager Javier said with a shrug and smile they’d see how popular it proved. So for all of us, go get one. Get two and save the other for dinner. Just don’t make us go to Taco Bell.

Sitting outside on Taqueria Santa Barbara’s curbside patio on State Street, watching people shuffle down the red-bricked sidewalk on a sunny afternoon, their sig nature marinated pork al pastor burrito somehow tastes even better than usual.

Ever since the family-owned restaurant opened its doors across the street from The Granada Theatre in 2020, it’s been one of my go-to spots when my al pastor craving kicks into high gear. The spit-roasted, spicy bits of freshly sliced pork stuffed inside a warm tortilla alongside beans, rice, cheese, cilantro, and onions comes with your choice of homemade salsas, but the must-try is their smoky, sweet, and silky pineapple-based salsa. Its slightly sweet but subtly spicy bite and creamy texture is a perfect contrast to the deep all pastor marinade, and a testament to the fact that pineapple and pork belong together forever.

It’s

rarity is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but over the years, birders have learned a few tricks that at least help narrow down which corner of the haystack to look in. The most important factor is to find where the food is that the birds need to replenish themselves on their migration. Birds will flock to the most readily available and nutritious food source. You might think that our local creeks would be the place to look, and at one time this was true. In recent years, however, birders have discovered other places to search, and interestingly, these have changed over time.

So once you’ve found a lerpy euc full of warblers, tanagers, and vireos, how do you go about sorting through them to look for a rarity? At this time of year, birders develop a specific ache known as warbler neck. Iden tifying these birds is truly a challenge, for many of them are feeding in the topmost limbs of the trees and are nothing but quickly moving silhouettes. The birder has a potent weapon in her arsenal: pishing. If you’ve ever been around birders, you may well have observed this practice in action. Pishing is the sound made by blowing air through your teeth, sort of like the sound you might use to attract a cat, but as loudly and obnoxiously as you possibly can. Indeed, on many occasions while I have been pishing, I’ve been surprised

he time has arrived that many birders anticipate for long months: fall migra tion. There are a number of reasons the season is regarded with such fondness. With so many birds on the move, the diversity of what can be seen is huge. It’s also a time to brush up on skills. Many of the vireos, sparrows, and warblers passing though are look-alikes, so you really have to be alert as to which features are crucial for identifica tion, for views are often brief. Lastly, the odds of finding something truly rare are much greater than at any other time of year, and this possibility drives many a birder to check likely

Pishing for Fall Warblers the Time of Year for ‘Warbler Neck’

In the 1970s and ’80s, tamarisk trees, a non-native often planted as windbreaks in campgrounds and on farmland, would become infested with leafhoppers, which are

The reigning monarch of bird-attracting trees, however, is the red gum eucalyptus (that’s right, another non-native). Many of these trees are infested with a psyllid that exudes a protective white sugary substance known as a lerp. Birds go crazy for these lerps. Birders tend to have a language all their own, and the phrase “lerpy euc” is a recent addition to the lexicon.

an irresistible snack to migrating birds. For one reason or another, most of these rows of trees have been removed in Santa Barbara County. A few years ago, another non-native, the Tipuana tree, widely planted as a shade tree in parking lots, was found to be attract ing large numbers of birds because of a pest, the Tipu psyllid, which was infesting the leaves. Indeed, one of the local hotspots attracting birders is the parking lot of a Goleta business park.

to find a cat rubbing up against my legs.

One place with a few produc tive lerpy eucs is at the south end of the grassy area at La Mesa Park. I’ve spent the last few mornings birding there. It’s still early in the season for the chance to find the rare warblers from the east, but it’s fun going through the flock and brushing up on my warbler skills. If you were the woman who stopped to ask if I was looking at “a hawk? ... A peregrine?” and I answered “no” to both questions without elaborating in a seemingly curt way, I honestly wasn’t being rude or standoffish. I was so intently focused on keeping track of a tanager in the treetops I hadn’t yet identified that I was in a world of my own.

In fact, Santa Barbara historian Walker Tompkins calls the day Cabrillo anchored off Los Dos Pueblos the “day history began” for the future rancho. But for the Chumash, it was really the begin ning of the end. Learn a little more about the locals who called this unique location their home for generations before that fateful day. The story is titled “Dos Pueblos Chumash,” which can be read in full at independent .com/GoletaHistory and at GoletaHistory .com.

Author Tom Modugno has been dedicated to bringing Goleta’s past to life through an impres sive collection of images since 2013, and his Go leta History column makes its debut this week, starting appropriately with the Chumash, who were the first to live along the South Coast. Area history buffs will already know Modugno’s work from GoletaHistory.com, where this and many more tales of the past can be found.

area Dos Pueblos because there were two Chumash villages right next to each other. They were called Mikiw and Kuyamu, and they were here long before any Europeans came along and gave them a generic name.

The warbler that most readily comes into pishing is the orange-crowned warbler, a locally common bird whose numbers

greatly swell during migration. Don’t expect to see an orange crown on these birds, though; the males only reveal this feature when very excited. The other two greenish-yellow warblers com mon in lerpy eucs are the Wilson’s and yellow warblers. It’s a good idea to learn the features of these three before making efforts to find the rarer birds.

For some reason, the pishing sound makes birds curious, and they will fly down lower to investigate, often coming within inches of the observer’s head. If you try it and you should give it a go be mindful not to over-pish. It does distract the birds and takes them away from their important job of building up fat reserves.

Tiger restaurants, Clayton comes from a longtime orchid-growing family and now rents out his five acres of Carpinteria land as stor age to fishermen and others.

by Matt Kettmann

AN OKTOBERFEST GOODBYE

He believes the transition to new ownership should be “fairly seamless,” especially on the brewing side, as Casey Smith, who’s handled the day-to-day brewing for years now, is staying on board. “There will be no drop-off in quality,” said Johnson. “It will probably get better if he gets me out of the way.” If anything, Danely wants to increase distribution of the Brewhouse’s beers to off-site locations, perhaps even the Santa Barbara Bowl.

“I’ve been in restaurants my whole life,” said Danely. “It’s something I feel really good about and love doing.”

Aside from sprucing things up and focusing on expanding beer distribution, Danely, who spent recent days making chili as a prep cook in the kitchen, plans to keep everything the same, including the staff. He and Clayton have some money set aside for improvements, but not tons, and they’d welcome an equity partner. No matter what, they intend to reinvest the next four years of profits right back into the business. “It’s the oldest brewery in town,” he said. “We’re just breathing life into the place.”

“It’s going to be a different life suddenly to not be thinking about the Brewhouse constantly,” said current co-owner Pete Johnson, who joined as the restaurant’s brewmaster soon after Gary Jacobson and Barbara Long founded it in 1998. “I’m 67 and I’m the youngest of the three of us. The place could use a little more support. Hopefully the new guys are gonna keep it pretty much the same, keep it a cool place, and fix up a few things that have been neglected for a while.”

The annual Oktoberfest celebration complete with tuba bands, schnitzel, bratwurst, and lederhosen is one of the restaurant’s crowning achievements, even though other establishments around Santa Barbara now host their own. “We were the original,” said Yapur of the tradition that started about 20 years ago.

CHEERS TO PETE: Co-owner Pete Johnson (right) joined The Brewhouse as the brewmaster soon after it was opened in 1998. He’ll be toasting longtime customers and employees during Oktoberfest next month.

put us on the map: The food was really good,” said John son. “I didn’t have to figure out what kind of beer would draw people in. We already had a full house.”

When asked why the Brewhouse became so popular years ago, Johnson couldn’t exactly say. “None of us really knew what we were doing we were just having fun,” said the former rocket scientist for NASA whose home-brew ing hobby turned into his second act. “Maybe that was part of it. We were having fun, and so was everyone else.”

Longtime manager Maria Yapur, who first worked there 19 years ago and has been there for 11 years straight, said that the sale comes after a tumultu ous period for the restaurant. The troubles began in April 2017 with a fire that shut down operations for a couple of months, then came the Thomas Fire that December, followed by the debris flow in January, and the pandemic in 2020.

n A Goodbye Oktoberfest Being Planned as Popular Brewpub Changes Hands

A part-time real estate agent, Danely worked in tile and stone construction prior to his job at the Coral Casino, but he started in restaurants when he was just 12 years old, working for Rick’s Pizza on the Mesa, Mesa Café, and Cliff & Co.

TRANSITION TIME

Johnson thinks he is ready for retirement. “Who knows?” he pondered with a tinge of reluctance. “I’ll prob ably wake up in the middle of the night after closing the deal and wish I still owned the Brewhouse.”

At least he can still enjoy it as a customer, right? “I get free beer for life as part of the deal,” he replied with a chuckle. It didn’t sound like he was joking.

INDEPENDENT.COM SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 THE INDEPENDENT 37 p.37

Original Owners Selling the Brewhouse

Yapur confirmed that the Brewhouse remains a busy place, even as the nearby Funk Zone and multiple brew eries lure away some of the younger crowds. “We’re still the only brewery that has a full bar and kitchen,” she said.

FOOD & DRINK

The food cooked by co-owner Jacobson, who devel oped the restaurant after being a chef at the Brewhouse Grill on State Street, was an early calling card. “That’s what

“It’s gotten to the point where we don’t really have money in the bank to fix things,” she said. “It’s getting harder and harder.”

Enjoy Oktoberfest at the Brewhouse (229 W. Montecito St.; [805] 884-4664; sbbrewhouse.com) on October 7 and 8, or just come say goodbye to the original owners while enjoying specials all month.

Regardless of how much stays the same, this sale repre sents real change for Yapur. “It’s the end of an era for all of us,” she said. “Let’s have one last big hooray for Oktoberfest and go out with a bang.”

He dreamed of one day open ing a taqueria in New Zealand, until he realized that the Brew house ownership seemed to be losing interest. He approached Johnson in December, and they started to negotiate. Danely and Clayton expect to take hold of the license soon, although escrow isn’t expected to close until next month.

“Our goal is just to refresh it and keep it going for another 24 years,” said Danely, who started working at the Brewhouse more than a year ago after being let go from his Coral Casino bartending job during COVID. “Hopefully we’ll be in our seventies then and just give it to somebody else.”

They’d like to start cleaning up the outdoor spaces right away and then may close briefly during January’s slow season to do indoor renovations. But they won’t close during the transition in fact, they ordered the full NFL package for the season and may even bring back Monday Night Football specials. “We want to make hay while the sun shines,” said Danely.

On a personal note, the first food and drink article that I ever wrote more than 20 years ago was about the Bre whouse. I was a regular in those post-college days, often feasting on macadamia-nut-crusted halibut and gorgon zola salad while others devoured filet mignon enchiladas and stroganoff. I interviewed Johnson soon after he started brewing beer and wrote about how co-owner “Barb” Long would hit the stage with her guitar to sing some tunes. “You called us ‘The Hub of Hip,’” recalled Johnson.

Buying the brewpub are Grant Danely and Joal Clayton, who both grew up just miles away and have been going to the restaurant since it opened.

fter nearly a quarter-century of brewing beers, serv ing burgers, and showcasing bands, the original owners of the Brewhouse are selling their beloved restaurant and brewery on West Montecito Street in Santa Barbara. The new owners both longtime custom ers raised on the Mesa, one a current employee plan to bring renewed energy and much-needed investment to the establishment, which is the oldest brewery in town.

The original owners aren’t going out with a whimper. They’re hosting one last Oktoberfest on October 7 and 8, expecting numerous former employees to make appear ances in a grand goodbye. “We’re going out on a high note and see if we can get some gemütlichkeit going,” said Johnson. “It’s a German word that doesn’t have any direct translation, but it means a feeling of happiness and good times and coziness. It’s a key part of Oktoberfest in Ger many. Nobody here has any idea of that word, but they’re all experiencing gemütlichkeit.”

Without a doubt, Suzanne Vega born in Santa Monica but a New Yorker from toddlerhood has thoroughly celebrated and been celebrated in and far beyond her destination home.

Upon a Jagged Maze closes on an eyesoothing grace note, relatively speaking. The museum’s back gallery hosts three large, warmly painted and semi-abstract canvases, in which rippling and interlacing patterns pay homage to the ancient Native American arts of basketry and weaving. Glinsky mixes traditional painting methods with spray painting, adding a sheen of mystique and contemporary patina to the gestural palette. In effect, the back room conjures up a sensu ous and congenial last impression, in a gen erally fascinating and thought-provocative exhibition.

“Raining Warriors” by Ishi Glinsky

COVID-19 virus in America. The city also proudly faced off the scourge and set a paradigm for recovery (for a time). Fittingly, Vega’s N.Y.C. songs usually embedded with minimalist storytelling address the romanticism, resiliency, paranoia, edginess, and complexities of life in the Big Apple.

If the notion of a western-themed fine art show at a storied thoroughbred horse ranch makes you kick up your heels in delight, you won’t want to miss the uniquely charming SLOPOKE, September 23-25.

irst impressions, subtle and other wise, matter when it comes to the delicate art of museum exhibition design. In the case of Ishi Glinsky: Upon a Jagged Maze, the dynamic opening exhibition of the new season for UCSB’s Art, Architecture and Design Museum (museum.ucsb.edu), the immediate impact is multifold, subtle and otherwise.

While the jacket epic is the most inten tionally scale-related statement in the show, a selection of paintings, sculptures, weavings (fashioned from chain link metal), and other

Next Wednesday, September 28, Vega will steer her current tour through the Lobero Theatre for an evening of songs and stories mostly about her hometown of New York in the heart of Santa Barbara.

forms coheres into a broad and persuasive set of works and series-with-a-cause. The gen erous expanse of a show consuming most of the museum’s galleries allows his work to breathe and reflect the significant diversity of Glinsky’s artistic fruits.

One of the lesser-known but special songs on the new album addresses the mythic phenom of an aspiring small-town-based artist going Gotham with big dreams, in the form of “New York Is My Destination.” The artist in question is Southern gothic novelist Carson McCullers, the subject of Vega’s 2016 one-woman play Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers. Full-circle timeline trivia: The first version of the play was created while Vega was a humble, aspiring student at Barnard.

Held at Flag Is Up Farms the 100-acre Solvang horse ranch owned and operated by Monty “the real life horse whisper” Roberts and his equine sculptor and equestrian wife, Pat Roberts — in an open-sided but roofed 30,000-square-foot riding arena with white museum-like walls set up in an open floor plan with led lighting for the art , this museum-quality art show is the brainchild of Tom Burgher, a former Central Coast art gallery owner.

Vega, who studied literature at Barnard and started out in folk clubs in Greenwich Village, had her dramatic rise into public consciousness and a wholly original niche of the singer-songwriter scene beginning with her debut album in 1985. A creatively restless soul, she ventured into more experimental territory on her 1992 album 99.9F°, gamely accepting the implicit songwriter challenge of turning a thermometer reading into a quirky hook.

Vega’s newly released album was recorded in a landmark New York venue, Carlyle’s, in 2019, before the city infamously fell victim to one of the most perilous attacks of the

Other series are colored by ulterior expressive motives, often craftily deploying found objects. Seemingly innocent baskets are made from oxidized rebar wire in chainlink loops (nodding to incarceration and being “fenced in”) and ceremonial neck laces made from shards of ceramic plates from thrift stores. Seemingly colorful and cheery wall-relief sculptures enlist cartoon figures we know and love Snoopy, Bugs Bunny in tragi-comic setups.

“Ridin’ Crawdad” by Glenda Stevens

By nature, Glinsky’s art is multi-layered, inviting multiple points of entry and inter pretation. In “Spitfire,” the reference point is Native American beadwork, transformed into a punk/skateboard culture framework (Spitfire is a brand of skateboard wheels). The largest representational (also allegori cal) piece in the show is “Dead Weight,” a vibrant example of his “ledger art” works. In this series, Glinsky imitates the resourceful yet tragic tradition of reservation-era native people capturing aspects of their fading and stolen past lives on lined ledger paper, a symbol of the white invaders’ world. “Dead Weight” is a vintage, pre–Manifest Destiny vision of buffalo hunting, in mythic, dreamlike terms.

“We’re going to spotlight 37 artists from all over the western half of the country,” said Burgher. “The furthest away is from Duluth, Minnesota.” Artists from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Minnesota, Louisiana, Montana, and California are featured in the juried show, judged by California artist Michael Obermeyer, who is also the featured guest artist. Obermeyer, whom Burgher described as “beloved by other art historians as perhaps the best plein air painter in the United States,” serves as the President of the prestigious California Art Club, and his paintings can be found in the U.S. Air Force Historical Art Collection at the Smithsonian Institute and the

Solvang’s SLOPOKEART SHOW ISHI GLINSKY: UPON A JAGGED MAZE

This large, loaded sculpture boldly intro duces us to the general milieu of Glinsky’s art, juxtaposing and mashing up references to his Native American roots and a hybrid contem porary aesthetic all his own. At age 40, this is the Arizona-born and Los Angeles–based Glinsky’s first official museum exhibition, and the result is enthralling and culturally engaging. Smartly curated by museum direc tor Gabriel Ritter, Upon a Jagged Maze, on view through January 22, 2023, surveys more than a decade of the artist’s evolving work in multiple media, colored by his cultural heri tage as a Native American artist (he is part of the Tohono O’odham tribe).

Entering the museum’s foyer gallery, we are greeted by the awesome sight of “Coral vs. King Snake,” a monumental, iconic sculpture towering just over 10 feet tall, takes the form of a punky black leather jacket, festooned with patches celebrating Native American issues and calls to radical action, including AIM (American Indian Movement) and the logo for the organization Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. On one sleeve, the phrase “Yosemite means those who kill” an indictment of genocidal white expansionism is prominently scrawled.

HarlemShuffle

(July 23-Aug. 22): For 15 years, Leo cartoonist Gary Larson created The Far Side, a hilarious comic strip featuring intelligent talking animals. It was syndicated in more than 1,900 newspapers. But like all of us, he has had failures, too. In one of his books, Larson describes the most disappointing event in his life. He was eating a meal in the same dining area as a famous cartoonist he admired, Charles Addams, creator of The Addams Family. Larson felt a strong urge to go over and intro duce himself to Addams. But he was too shy and tongue-tied to do so. Don’t be like Larson in the com ing weeks, dear Leo. Reach out and connect with recep tive people you’d love to communicate with. Make the first move in contacting someone who could be important to you in the future. Be bold in seeking new links and affiliations. Always be respectful, of course.

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Even when your courage has a touch of foolhardiness, even when your quest for adven ture makes you a bit reckless, you can be resourceful enough to avoid dicey consequences. Maybe more than any other sign of the zodiac, you periodically outfox karma. But in the coming weeks, I will never theless counsel you not to barge into situations where rash boldness might lead to wrong moves. Please do not flirt with escapades that could turn into chancy gambles. At least for the foreseeable future, I hope you will be prudent and cagey in your quest for interesting and educational fun.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet William Stafford wrote, “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk. Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.” Those ideas are always true, of course, but I think it’s especially crucial that you heed them in the coming weeks. In my oracular opinion, you need to build your personal power right now. An important way to do that is by being discriminating about what you take in and put out. For best results, speak your truths as often and as clearly as possible. And do all you can to avoid exposing yourself to trivial and delusional “truths” that are really just opinions or misinformation.

ARIES

VIRGO

(June 21-July 22): I’m getting a psychic vision of you cud dled up in your warm bed, surrounded by stuffed ani mals and wrapped in soft, thick blankets with images of bunnies and dolphins on them. Your headphones are on, and the songs pouring into your cozy awareness are silky-smooth tonics that rouse sweet memories of all the times you felt most wanted and most at home in the world. I think I see a cup of hot chocolate on your bedstand, too, and your favorite dessert. Got all that, fellow Cancerian? In the coming days and nights, I suggest you enjoy an abundance of experiences akin to what I’ve described here.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tips for making the most of the next three weeks: (1) Be proud as you teeter charismatically on the fence. Relish the power that comes from being in between. (2) Act as vividly congenial and staunchly beautiful as you dare. (3) Experiment with making artful arrangements of pretty much everything you are part of. (4) Flatter others sincerely. Use praise as one of your secret powers. (5) Cultivate an open-minded skepticism that blends discernment and curiosity. (6) Plot and scheme in behalf of harmony, but never kiss ass.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are an extra-authentic Aquarius if people say that you get yourself into the weirdest, most interesting trouble they’ve ever seen. You are an ultragenuine Aquarius if people follow the twists and pivots of your life as they would a soap opera. And I suspect you will fulfill these potentials to the max in the com ing weeks. The upcoming chapter of your life story might be as entertaining as any you have had in years. Luckily, imminent events are also likely to bring you soulful lessons that make you wiser and wilder. I’m excited to see what happens!

SCORPIO

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: (1) Use your imagination to make everything seem fascinating and wonderful. (2) When you give advice to others, be sure to listen to it yourself. (3) Move away from having a rigid conception of yourself and move toward having a fluid fantasy about yourself. (4) Be the first to laugh at and correct your own mis takes. (It’ll give you the credibility to make even better mistakes in the future.) (5) Inspire other people to love being themselves and not want to be like you.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Mary Oliver wrote, “There is within each of us a self that is neither a child, nor a servant of the hours. It is a third self, occasional in some of us, tyrant in others. This self is out of love with the ordinary; it is out of love with time. It has a hunger for eternity.” During the coming weeks, Scorpio, I will be cheering for the ascendancy of that self in you. More than usual, you need to commune with fantastic truths and transcendent joys. To be in maximum alignment with the good fortune that life has prepared for you, you must give your loving attention to the highest and noblest visions of your personal destiny that you can imagine.

(Apr. 20-May 20): In 1946, medical professionals in the U.K. established the Common Cold Unit. Its goal was to discover practical treatments for the familiar viral infection known as the cold. Over the next 43 years, until it was shut down, the agency produced just one useful innovation: zinc gluconate lozenges. This treatment reduces the severity and length of a cold if taken within 24 hours of onset. So the results of all that research were modest, but they were also much better than nothing. During the coming weeks, you may experience comparable phenomena, Taurus: less spectacular outcomes than you might wish, but still very worthwhile.

SectionBackground:3of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, (“Section 3”) requires that economic opportunities generated by certain U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) financial assistance for housing and community development programs are, to the greatest extent feasible, directed to low and very low‑income persons. The priority of assistance should be to those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and business concerns which provide economic opportunities to low and very low‑income persons. The Section 3 program was created to ensure that persons living in communities where HUD assisted programs are funded could economically benefit from the resources being provided. This would improve the overall socioeconomic condition of not only the community, but also offer opportunities to the low and very low‑income residents who reside within the neighborhoods.
