Another Reason to Vote NO on Measure P Oil produced in California is subject to the most rigorous, strict environmental regulations in the world. Unfortunately, to meet the rest of our needs, California must also import in tankers oil from Russia, Iraq, Angola and other countries with weak or no environmental safeguards at all.

Under Measure P, many conventional production techniques, used safely for decades, would be banned.2 In fact, Measure P is so broadly written, even many routine maintenance methods would also be forbidden.3 As a result, one of the consequences of Measure P would be to shut down nearly all oil production in the County within the next five years and ban all future production, increasing our reliance on foreign oil.

1. Source: Energy Almanac, California Energy Commission 2. Measure P, Section Two 3. Routine well maintenance and well servicing activities including substances commonly used to clean water wells and prevent algae in swimming pools are banned.

MEASURE P WOULD ONLY INCREASE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL “As long as people in Santa Barbara County drive cars that use gas and need oil to meet our energy needs, we should make the most of the resources we have here in California. It just doesn’t make sense to bring in costly foreign oil by rail and tanker.”

RICCARDO MAGNI Teacher of the Year Recipient of the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators “We rely too much on imported foreign oil from countries with little or no environmental regulations. We need a balanced approach to our energy policy – not Measure P, which will only make us more dependent on foreign oil imports.”

DR. STACEY E. ZECK-BOLES, PHD University of California Santa Barbara Geological Sciences* “Measure P would result in closing nearly all oil and gas production in Santa Barbara County in the next few years. That means we will need to import even more oil from foreign countries that don’t have the same strict environmental protections in place here in California.”

While on a visit to Spain’s Costa Brava, Susan Billig (left), Lynda Van Patter, and Holly Joseph took a copy of The Santa Barbara Independent along for a group photo. Their tour included Mallorca, Menorca, and Madrid, with stops at all the Gaudí buildings in Barcelona and walking tours of many World Heritage sites. They didn’t have a chance to compare the rental housing costs there to Santa Barbara’s, but they noted a number of similarities to home, like warm, humid weather.

Most envious experience?

n 11th hour and 59th minute legal challenge was filed by a brandnew organization attacking the legal credibility of Caltrans’s Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the much-debated freeway-widening and carpool-lane plan between Santa Barbara and Carpinteria. While the Transportation Futures Committee may draw blanks among the environmental community, the group’s attorney, Marc Chytilo, is exceptionally well-known and has enjoyed a remarkable string of successes attacking the adequacy of such documents.

Chytilo explained he put the organization together himself last week and linked to an existing legal entity known as the Committee for Land, Air, Water, and Species. He declined to reveal the identities of the organization’s three principals — explaining he needed to clear it with them first — but said they all reside in the City of Santa Barbara, and all had submitted letters of protest in response to the project EIR, which Caltrans deemed complete a month ago.

By law, any challenge had to be filed within 30 days. That was Monday. As of last Friday, it was unclear if any major challenge was in the offing.

Common Sense , the high-profile Montecito organization that had taken its opposition to the freeway-widening plan all the way to the governor’s office, had bowed out after this May when their concerns were rejected by a vote of 11-2 by the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG). Common Sense  spokesperson Ron Pulice said any such appeal should properly be filed by a governmental entity.

Two weeks ago, the Santa Barbara City Council voted 5-1 in closed session to launch such an attack, but the following week, the council changed its mind and stood down. Councilmember Cathy Murillo cast the lone vote not to sue in the earlier meeting, and Councilmem10

ber Gregg Hart — a high-ranking official with SBCAG, a cosponsor of the freeway widening — recused himself.

Chytilo’s unhappiness with the EIR does not reflect all of City Hall’s concerns, but it focuses on a key issue raised by Mayor Helene Schneider and a majority of councilmembers, its chief traffic planner Rob Dayton, City Administrator Paul Casey, and all of its planning commissioners. All have expressed alarm at the increased congestion that will be created when the additional traffic carried by the new and wider freeway backs up in downtown Santa Barbara between Mission Street and Las Positas Road.

Nine intersections that are already operating at substandard levels will be adversely affected by the new traffic volumes, Chytilo charged. At that point, many motorists will seek refuge by taking to the city’s side streets, causing them to become more crowded and dangerous. While much of this is acknowledged in the EIR, he said, it was not formally denoted as an adverse environmental impact. Instead, the document concluded that the localized impacts will be vastly outweighed by the much broader benefit the project will create in reduced drive times.

That response, according to Chytilo, is the Achilles’ heel of the $450 million project. Under California environmental law, he said, the EIR had to identify project alternatives that minimize such adverse impacts. But if such impacts are not listed, then presumably Caltrans doesn’t have to address them. The same logic, he said, holds true for the legal requirement that adverse impacts be mitigated to the maximum extent feasible. Only after those options have been tried and exhausted, Chytilo declared, can governmental entities make findings of overriding consideration. Caltrans, he claimed, effectively made such findings, though without examining mitigations or alternatives.

Aside from such procedural legalities, Chytilo said his substantive beef with the project is

CRAMMED: A new environmental group says the analysis of the freeway widening project is seriously deficient and filed legal action to make changes.

when all the construction is complete by 2040 — and all the money spent — traffic will be worse, not better than it is now. Any money that could have possibly gone to alternative transportation solutions, he charged, will have been gobbled up by the most massive — if not most expensive — construction project to hit the South Coast in decades.

Moments after Chytilo confirmed he had filed his last-minute challenge, Mayor Schneider along with Councilmember Bendy White issued a joint communication announcing their support for the lawsuit.“We fully encourage and will be publically supporting private parties who have filed the lawsuit,” they said. In her written comments, Schneider denied being a member of the new organization.

After last May’s SBCAG vote in favor of the Caltrans project, many thought the opposition had been put to rest. “We know that for some, our position is frustrating,” Schneider wrote.

“We’ve heard more than once, ‘Just build it.’ ” She said she was acting out of a sense of fairness.

“This project as proposed is unfair to the constituents in the City of Santa Barbara. It is unfair to county taxpayers, it is unfair to residents of the South Coast, and it is unfair to the commuters who use Highway .”

Schneider’s was a bold and confrontational move sure to antagonize many elected officials eager to see the project move forward. Adding additional intrigue, her longtime political advisor Jeremy Lindaman worked as a paid political consultant for Common Sense . That group was most intent on retaining the left-lane offramps. Caltrans chief Malcolm Dougherty flew to Santa Barbara twice in one year to declare that under no circumstances would he allow left-lane off-ramps to remain. They were, he said, inherently confusing to drivers, hence more unsafe. cont’d page 12

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

In a dramatic about-face last Thursday, accused Montecito con artist David Prenatt disavowed a 10-year plea deal he struck with prosecutors just two weeks earlier, arguing that he’d been denied “effective assistance of counsel.” In so doing, Prenatt — charged with bilking $13 million from investors by operating a classic Ponzi scheme — has effectively fired his attorney Robert Sanger and is now seeking representation from the Public Defender’s office. No details were provided in court as to how Prenatt was given ineffective legal advice.

A 26-year-old man will spend more than three decades in state prison after he pleaded guilty to molesting two girls under the age of 11 years old. Hugo Mendoza — charged with four felony strike offenses — was sentenced this week to 31 years behind bars. He will also be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, abstain from contacting the children or their families for 10 years, and pay for the victims’ therapy sessions.

Thievery in the Mission Canyon neighborhood over the last four months allegedly occurred at the hands of Cody Clark, a 22-year-old resident of the area whom authorities arrested on charges of grand theft and possession of stolen property. Residents’ efforts, including video footage and photographs, helped identify Clark as a suspect. When detectives searched his house on the 1100 block of Edgemound Drive, they found 50-plus pieces of stolen goods, including jewelry, computer parts, cell phones, cameras, wallets, and a bike. Authorities believe Clark committed the alleged thefts at night and from unlocked cars.

Downtown Santa Barbara has its first “bike corral” (pictured) located on the bike-intensive stretch of East Canon Perdido Street by Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens and the Three Pickles sandwich shop. At the instigation of nine nearby businesses, city traffic engineers agreed to try out the new form of bike parking — seven large steel hoops painted dark green in a row — to see how well it works. The new corral cost $3,000 to install and was achieved at the loss of one net parking space for cars. At least two bikes can park on one of the hoops, creating a maximum parking potential for 14 cyclists.

COUNTY In the wake of Chumash leadership awarding approval to their resort expansion — and only partially yielding to some of the county’s requests — 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr last week told constituents that the County CEO’s Office will continue to ask the tribe to discuss concerns, which hover mainly around the planned 12-story hotel wing and the expansion’s effect on County Fire, the Sheriff’s Office, and water use. Farr, who wants another supervisors hearing on the matter, will also be working with the California State Association of Counties to bolster counties’ input when tribes with 1999inked compacts renegotiate those contracts with the state, as the Chumash will do in 2020.

The Water Guardians recently sent around an email from actor and environmentalist Robert Redford urging supporters to “chip in $10 or $20” in light of $1.6 million given to the anti-Measure P campaign by an “oil front group largely funded by Chevron.” The letter states, “Chevron destroyed Santa Barbara with the 1969 oil spill. We can’t let them do it again.” Guardianin-chief Katie Davis explained that Measure P has drawn attention beyond Santa Barbara and that Redford has supported Santa Barbara causes before.

The 72 homes perched near the epic waves of Rincon Point are now all connected to the Carpinteria Sanitary District, as a 15-year-old project to convert their septic systems to sewage is finally complete. The controversial $6 million project, which was pushed into reality by the advocacy of Heal the Ocean, was aimed at end-

Approximately 500 veterans are expected to attend the event, at which they can receive haircuts, showers, medical and dental treatment, PTSD counseling, clothing, toiletries, and breakfast and lunch; nearly 150 organizations and county departments are pitching in this year.

Entering the race right ahead of the filing deadline was former Goleta councilmember Ed Easton, who left the council position earlier this year after moving outside city limits. Also on the ticket are attorney Beverly Herbert and Phebe Mansur, who owns a printing company in Old Town. The five will debate on 10/8 at noon at the Glen Annie Golf Club.

Cop Shop Slated for Westside Club

With negotiations for a new lease heating up between the City of Santa Barbara and the Westside Boys & Girls Club, it appears all but certain that city police will soon begin operating a substation there, similar to the one now open at the Franklin Community Center. The new digs would provide a place for officers assigned to the Westside to fill out paperwork, and, more importantly, park themselves and their cars in a highly visible spot conducive to greater community interaction.

Given the Boys & Girls club is located in Bohnett Park — long the focus of community concern both real and imagined — the police presence might allay some parental concerns about the safety of the facility. The club’s 50-year lease with City Hall expired this August, but concerns over the high rate of leadership turnover gave city Parks and Rec officials significant pause. (In the past year, the Westside has had three different directors, as has its parent organization, United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County.)

Initially, City Hall offered the club a three-year lease; the club countered by demanding 25; the city is now offering five. The matter went before the council in closed session this Tuesday, but no action was reported. United director Dianna Starr Langley said her organization has been forced to weather the same financial storms afflicting all nonprofits. She insisted all the youth-serving programs remain intact and that 4,500 kids throughout the county are still getting adult supervision from 140 full- and part-time employees at bargain-basement rates.

City Parks chief Nancy Rapp expressed concern about the level of turnover but also noted that in the past 18 months, the level of supervision at the Westside campus has improved, as has care of the facilities. In addition to the police presence at the Westside club, Rapp said she’s looking forward to the installation of a Food Bank distribution center there, as well as a health information and screening outpost of the Neighborhood — Nick Welsh Community Clinic.

Hunt for Bear Called Off

Carpinteria Woman Recuperates from Attack

C

BY N I C K W E L S H alifornia Fish and Game authorities have ended their hunt for the 300-pound black bear that attacked and injured Emily Miles, a 65-year-old Carpinteria woman, last week. Two bear trackers were dispatched last Monday into the remote backcountry above the Carpinteria canyon where the attack occurred, but they were called off Friday night after they and their tubular aluminum traps came up empty.

Had they succeeded in catching a bear, Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Janice Mackey said, its DNA would have been checked with the samples taken from Miles’s leg — punctured by the bear’s four incisors. If the fur and saliva matched, the bear would have been “humanely eutha- DON’T MESS: When Emily Miles got bit and nized.” When asked how bears are eutha- swiped by a back bear, she hollered and kicked nized, Mackey replied, “Let’s just stick with until the bear went away. that.” She characterized the attack on Miles — who was hiking with her two dogs about a Miles and the bear made eye contact.

STATE The third Ocean Health Index created by scientists at UCSB’s National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis and nonprofit Conservation International scored the world’s seas a 67 out of 100. The healthiest bodies of water are the Western Indian Ocean and the Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean, both at 79; the Northwestern Pacific Ocean fared the worst, with a score of 53. The index’s first two iterations only examined waters within 200 miles of coastlines, while this year’s looked at the high seas, for which fewer analyses exist. Metrics were assigned based on factors including food production, tourism and recreation, coastal protection, clean water, and biodiversity.

Governor Jerry Brown signed into law a bill allowing Carpinteria’s famed Hot Dog Man, Bill Connell (pictured), to be compensated for sales taxes levied that by law he should not have had to pay. Connell, a Vietnam-era veteran, has been waging a one-man war with the state comptroller’s office on behalf of veteran street vendors for 21 years, insisting they were legally exempt from such taxes. In 2009, the legislature concluded Connell’s interpretation of the law was correct. This year — thanks to a bill authored by Assemblymember Das Williams — the legislature voted 175-1 to set aside $50,000 to compensate Connell and any other veterans who may have been taxed on sales proceeds from vending cart operations. Connell estimates he has up to $30,000 coming.

Although Schneider’s position at times got confused with that of Common Sense ’s, she had other fish to fry throughout the long and tortuous debate taking place earlier this year.

She — and all of City Hall — insisted that the railroad bridge by the Bird Refuge needed to be widened as part of the freeway project. If not, she contended, the narrow bridge would create a significant pinch point for traffic on Cabrillo Boulevard seeking to get on the freeway.

Likewise, she argued that the project should include a new roundabout for the Olive Mill Road on- and off-ramps. Caltrans balked at both, insisting these should be regarded as separate projects. SBCAG offered to help push for the bridge widening and to look for funding. Schneider objected no funding for either exists, and given the overwhelming expense of the freeway widening, there’s not likely going to be. In her letter, Schneider accused unnamed members of the SBCAG staff of threatening such funding if the council “dared to challenge the EIR.” Privately, many in City Hall have expressed concerns about waging war with Caltrans over the widening plan, especially in light of the May vote. At that time, State Senator HannahBeth Jackson and Assemblymember Das Williams came out and strongly endorsed the Caltrans plan. In addition, Sara Miller McCune — a major mover and shaker in left-leaning political and philanthropic circles — also came out in favor of it.

Attacking the environmental document could only antagonize political leaders upon whose support the ancillary projects depend.

No one has been more outspoken in their criticisms of the Caltrans plan than traffic planner Rob Dayton, not even Schneider. Dayton declined to comment on anything said behind closed doors, explaining to do so would be a

violation of the law.“But if someone were to ask me, do I think it’s a good idea to challenge the EIR? I would say no,” he said. “It won’t accomplish any of our goals.”

Caltrans fully expected a challenge from the outset, given the heat attending the public debate. Now that the lawsuit has been filed, Caltrans has clammed up. Spokesperson Jim Shivers did, however, release the following comment: “Caltrans has not yet seen the lawsuit but stands behind its recently completed Final Environmental Impact Report on the U.S.  South Coast HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) Lanes Project.

BY K E L S E Y B R U G G E R ollowing Elliot Rodger’s shooting rampage in May, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblymember Das Williams quickly announced they had coauthored legislation that would allow family members or law enforcement personnel to petition courts to keep guns temporarily away from persons believed at risk of harming themselves or others. The bill was one of the last Governor Jerry Brown signed on September 30 — the last day he could do so — and brought the total number of bills he has signed to 930. He vetoed 143.

It appears Jackson and Williams had a productive year. They each authored more than a dozen bills; Brown did not veto any of Williams’s and just one of Jackson’s. That bill would have given franchisees more freedom in their contracts with corporations.

Here’s a sample of Jackson’s bills that Brown signed:

GUNS AND WELFARE: Law-enforcement

officers will be required to search the state database of gun purchases before performing “welfare checks.”

YES MEANS YES: As colleges grapple with

how to address sexual violence, this law makes California the first to adopt a standard for consent on campuses. It also mandates that resources be available for victims and that staff be trained to handle assault cases.

SIGN ’EM UP: Teens will be allowed to pre-

register to vote at age 16. They will still not be able to vote until they turn 18, but they can fill out applications to prepare — online, by mail, at the DMV, or in civics classes in high school.

GETTING BACK TO WORK: People who have

been unemployed for six months or longer will be given special consideration for the 7,750 state grants that are set aside for job training; priority will be given to training for booming industries with high demand for workers and higher wages.

FORCED STERILIZATIONS: After media

reports revealed forced or coerced sterilizations were occurring in California prisons or correctional facilities for the purpose of birth control, Jackson authored this bill to outlaw the practice.

Other notable bills sponsored by other state legislators included those to limit suspensions for disruptive students, to ban plastic bags, to provide $3 million in legal aid for unaccompanied immigrant children from Central America, and to allow 15 community colleges to experiment with granting bachelor’s degrees.

Brown vetoed a bill that would have required law-enforcement agencies to obtain warrants before using drones.

Avoiding the ‘I’ Word

Thrown into Deep End of Deferred Maintenance Pool

A

BY N I C K W E L S H mong government wonks, the word “infrastructure” has long enjoyed perverse sex appeal, but for mere mortals, it’s a certified buzzkill.

This is the dilemma confronted by the City of Santa Barbara’s Nina Johnson, whose assignment has been to alert city residents over the next month the extent to which streets, sidewalks, buildings, and parks are teetering on the precipice of disrepair.

“I’m trying not to use the word ‘infrastructure,’” she said. “I don’t know if I’m making it any sexier, but these are the places we all use.

They’re part of the Santa Barbara legacy.” Likewise, Johnson has made it a point to avoid such phrases as “general fund,” explaining, “I’m trying to make this accessible to people who’ve never attended a government meeting before.”

Writ large, the problem is huge. City Hall has a backlog of more than $500 million in infrastructure improvements that need to be made sooner rather than later. To keep the city streets in reasonable repair, Johnson said, costs $14.5 million a year; currently City Hall spends $3 million. And deferred maintenance comes with a steep price, she went on. The more repairs are delayed, the more expensive they become.

For instance, the city’s police station — vintage 1950s construction — will cost $54 million to rebuild to modern seismic standards. Thus far, there’s been little public support for rebuilding the station house, but, Johnson cautioned, the interim nickel-and-dime solutions aren’t cheap, either. She said City Hall has already spent a couple million dollars moving dispatchers from their basement dungeon to new digs in the Granada Parking Garage.

In the meantime, Johnson — a 15-year vet of the City Administrator’s Office — is taking her show on the road, holding eight public meetings and a host of other engagements targeting key neighborhood and business groups.

“We want to know what people are comfortable with,” she said. “Are people comfortable shutting down certain pools and parks? What levels of street repair do they feel is necessary?

Right now, the library roof terrace is off-limits because it’s not safe. Is that okay?”

Even though City Hall is currently spend-

ing millions a year on high-profile projects, many of those efforts — bridge replacements especially — are largely underwritten by federal grants. “There are no federal grants for the Thousand Steps stairway to the beach,” Johnson said. That, she said, would cost $1.5 million to $2 million. And that money, she added, does not currently exist. Based on the response from a meeting with community movers and shakers, Johnson said there’s a recognition that City Hall can’t do it all.“People understand a certain amount of triage will be involved.”

Johnson spent the better part of two months culling through archival photos contrasting the city’s assets in their prime with how they look today. What the public makes of this will have substantial weight on how a committee made up of Mayor Helene Schneider and councilmembers Bendy White and Randy Rowse decide to proceed. In addition, Johnson said she hopes her road show inspires people to talk about new technological possibilities they’d like to see explored.

Public discussions about infrastructure and deferred maintenance have a tendency to evolve into prickly debates about spending priorities. And lurking in the background is a possible half-cent sales-tax increase that city administrators have been eyeballing since the state abolished redevelopment agencies. For Santa Barbara, that constituted a loss of about $16 million a year. A half-cent bump in the sales tax would generate roughly $10 million a year.

While that’s not enough by itself to make an appreciable dent in the $500 million repair backlog, it could generate a big-enough income stream, allowing the city to sell a sizable bond to finance such repairs.

Any such tax increase, however, would be inherently controversial and require a vote of city residents. That topic will not be included in Johnson’s presentation. “If people are okay with where we are, then there won’t be any Phase II,” she said, “let alone a Stage III.” Johnson’s next presentation takes place Saturday, October 4, at 2 p.m. at Our Lady of Guadalupe church, and at the downtown library on Monday, October 6, at 6 p.m. See independent.com /events and search “infrastructure” for all seven ■ meetings.

• Measure P would ban extraction processes currently used in every oil well in Santa Barbara county.

• Santa Barbara county benefits much economically from the production of oil and gas, especially northern Santa Barbara county.

• Oil and gas operations in Santa Barbara county generate tens of millions of dollars per year in tax revenue for local governments and the state of California, including funds for schools, law enforcement, fire fighting, parks, and roads.

• There are many environmental and economic costs of tankering oil and gas to the United States and to California.

To a Distant, Vengeful Dog

FOWLING ONE’S NEST: That loud beating

sound you’re hearing is that of all the chickens coming home to roost. Normally such infestations of flying fowl are handled by the proverbial foxes hired to guard the proverbial henhouses. But in Fresno County, where push comes to shove with sudden violence, they’ve found another solution. There this week, a man broke into a Foster Farms facility armed with a golf club. By the time he finished impersonating Arnold Palmer, 920 birds lay dead.

The assailant remains at large, and police are looking for a middle-aged white male wearing golf shoes and sporting bloody feathers in his hair.

In Santa Barbara, the roosting chickens are manifesting differently. This week, for example, was the drop-dead date for anyone to sue Caltrans over its behemoth plans to widen highway 101 and install an HOV lane. At the last minute, someone did. Whether this goes down in the history books as an act of courage, folly, or crass pandering, I don’t really care. It will slow the project down. When you’re talking about a half-a-billion-dollar construction project, then maybe a second look isn’t the worst thing in the world. When all the construction dust settles — many years from now — the traffic congestion then will be pretty much what it is now, only more so. On my planet, half a billion qualifies as real dough. If we’re going to spend like drunken sailors, shouldn’t we at least get a decent buzz to show for it?

I get that there’s a serious problem on the freeway. But we are told we need this fix to accommodate the drivers from Ventura and points south — all 13,000 of them — who make the trek north every day to work in Santa Barbara and Goleta. It’s true they experience gridlock hell, and I sympathize. But I’m also struck that so many of the better-paying jobs on the South Coast happen to be taken by people who live elsewhere. Hey man, I’ve read the reports. Santa Barbara’s actual inhabitants — fed by a steady flow of out-of-town students and immigrants — toil in what’s been dubbed “The T-Shirt economy” and are forced to cobble together a handful of minimum-wage gigs so they can cram together in broom-closet apartments on the lower Westside.

All this makes me really curious why no one with political ambition in Santa Barbara is even whispering about increasing the minimum wage. It’s become the hot and trendy thing to do all over the state. Every city with a Greyhound bus depot is looking into it. Strangely, we’re not.

Why is it you can never find a good opportunist when you need one the most? Economists will tell you this is a bad idea, that it will chase jobs away. Maybe so. But then, they’ve said that every single time the minimum wage has been raised, and yet we have prospered. I do wonder why these same economists are so strangely silent when it comes to spending half a billion to build a wider freeway that won’t fix congestion so that out-of-towners can more conveniently drive to

Santa Barbara and take the best-paying jobs.

This, of course, is nothing new. But for whatever reason, it’s achieving critical mass. Maybe it’s because of Elliot Rodger, Isla Vista’s latest sicko-psycho, one-man crime spree. Or maybe it’s because the vacancy rate has gotten so small that only UCSB’s Department of Nanotechnology has the tools to measure it anymore. As UCSB is forced to confront its own long legacy of neglect in Isla Vista, campus officials there increasingly complain how their efforts to ameliorate matters have been steadily undermined by the onslaught of new arrivals to I.V. from City College. And they have a point. Since 1989 — when UCSB launched its first Long Range Development Plan — the number of UCSB students has grown roughly by 1,500. In that same time, the number of City College students has grown by nearly 10,000. More than half of City College’s enrollment comes from outside the school district. Why wouldn’t they? It’s a great school. But it takes a serious toll on our nano-housing supply. Toss in the exponential growth of schools teaching English to wealthy foreign students, plus the vast sums being made

by Empty Nesters converting what could have been rentable space into vacation rentals, and Houston, we have a nightmare.

Into this maelstrom walks City College’s CEO Lori Gaskin, asking voters to shell out $288 million for her campus in this November’s election. Bad timing. None of that money has been earmarked for housing. Unlike UCSB,

City College is neither charged nor funded to address its housing needs. Traditionally, it hasn’t bothered to even try. It should be noted, however, the City College Foundation made a legitimately valiant effort this year to buy the biggest apartment complex on Cliff Drive, only to be outbid by $3 million. It was a nice gesture and good start. But Gaskin and her bond measure will need to do more if they hope to convince voters to support her Measure S. The local Democratic Party machine — as knee-jerk a pro-education, just-throwmoney-at-it bunch of tax-and-spenders as you can hope to find — declined to endorse the bond measure. It was the housing issue that tied them up. Gaskin can say Measure S is nonpartisan, but she doesn’t have the Dem machine going into what promises to be an abysmally low-turnout election; she has serious problems. Ideally, Gaskin should scrap Measure S, start over, and come back next year. But she can’t. That’s because the City of Santa Barbara wants to put a half-cent sales tax increase on the ballot then to help raise the half a billion bucks needed to pay for its own deferred infrastructure needs.

And the school district has bond plans of its own. They all have to take turns; you can only ask voters for money so many times in one election.

Like I say, the chickens are coming. And coincidentally, they all weigh half a billion bucks.

Tough Tactics on 101 Widening Project

I

BY MAYOR HELENE SCHNEIDER AND C O U N C I L M E M B E R B E N D Y W H I T E

t’s been relatively quiet these last nine

Planning Commission held a public hearing on the  Widening Project and unanimously voted to send a letter to Caltrans that included the statement, “Based on the inadequacy of the Draft EIR, we anticipate that Caltrans’ responses to comments will result in the disclosure of significant new information necessitating recirculation of a revised Draft EIR to allow for meaningful public review and comment.”

Since then, Caltrans has continued to change the project, including the Cabrillo interchange, in such a substantial way that a normal EIR process would require recirculation. But Caltrans, rather than working as a true partner to the local community, refused to do so.

Furthermore, according to Caltrans’s own analysis, the project as currently designed will cause delays and backups on the  northbound from Garden Street all the way to Patterson Avenue. This will result in increased congestion on city streets, further reducing our ability to adequately maintain our infrastructure and provide new alternative transportation options.

was paid for entirely with state and federal dollars, and it included needed bike path and pedestrian amenities as part of the project.

Contrast that to the widening project in Santa Barbara County. Not only are county residents paying $140 million off the top from the 2008 Measure A half-cent sales tax, but the South Coast communities of Goleta, Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, and the unincorporated areas are

months regarding the  Widening Project, but that is about to change. One month ago, Caltrans certified the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) the agency produced, and this document has subsequently been challenged in court.

We fully encourage and will be publicly supporting private parties who have filed lawsuits.

The City of Santa Barbara is not a party to a lawsuit. We are dismayed that information pertaining to recent closed sessions apparently was leaked to the press and others. At the very least, this appears to be a breach of ethics. Worse, during the last two weeks, statements made in writing via a letter to City Hall, and verbally by Santa Barbara County Association of Governments staff, basically threatened the city by saying if the council dare challenge the EIR, then perhaps important mitigations our residents deserve will never get funded.

We know that for some our position is frustrating. We’ve heard more than once “just build it.” Our decision to speak out publicly about the inadequacies of this EIR is due to our fundamental sense of fairness. This Project as proposed is unfair to our constituents in the City of Santa Barbara, it is unfair to county taxpayers, it is unfair to residents of the South Coast, and it is unfair to the commuters who use Highway .

also sacrificing an annual $13 million that used to be for local street maintenance and repairs.

Now, through at least 2040, 100 percent of that money is diverted to the  Widening Project.

The Measure A ballot language never said that 100 percent of South Coast gas-tax funds would be sacrificed.

It gets worse if the Project moves forward as proposed, as more and more of what the voters thought Measure A would fund over 30 years — local street repair, safe-routes-to-school funding, bike and pedestrian improvements, to name a few — is actually going to be siphoned off to pay for necessary components of the project that should have been included but are not.

In addition, applications for funding toward components we know are necessary, specifically replacing the Union Pacific Bridge and creating the Olive Mill Roundabout, will now compete with other local projects.

Caltrans’s response to these needed mitigations is this: Trust us. According to Caltrans, mitigations can be done as “parallel projects,” yet the agency offers zero funding, which means if local communities want the mitigations, we’re going to be stuck footing the bill.

It would be nice to have a level of trust that everything will all somehow work out; however, we believe that past performance is indicative of future behavior. One only needs to remember that the current State Street/ underpass is designed the way it is because Santa Barbara residents fought with Caltrans, who insisted for years on an elevated freeway over the city, totally cutting our now-vibrant downtown core in half.

History has shown us that it is in our best interest to fight for good projects and oppose bad ones.

Caltrans makes a mockery of not only the South Coast but the entire California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process. How can we require private projects to abide by the requirements of CEQA when Caltrans, a state agency, openly violates it? Until Caltrans comes to the community and actually works as a true ■ “partner,” we have to oppose this Project.

Timothy Mortimer Rochlitzer // – //

The unimaginative would say Timothy Mortimer Rochlitzer entered this world on June th, , and left it behind September th, . What a lame gloss over that would be for a man whose life was spent poking holes in the impossible and the improbable. Driving his own hand-built race car to a speed of MPH on the pristine Bonneville Salt Flats gives you an idea of the man’s skill and determination.

A Vienna native, at age four, Tim and his parents fled Austria to escape the war and settled in what became their beloved Santa Barbara, California. A graduate of Santa Barbara Catholic High School in , Tim earned a degree in mechanical engineering at Gonzaga University.

Rochlitzer served his country as an officer in the th Airborne Division from -, as he put it, “jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.” In civilian life, he found work with Lockheed at Vandenberg Air Force Base and became the country’s youngest “Launch Conductor” tasked with blastoff responsibility of numerous Cold War-era space projects.

It was at work that he met the love of his life, Dorothy Ann Taylor. They were married in  in Yakima, Washington. The newlyweds settled in Santa Bar-

bara and began a family, happily raising sons Brad and Brian until Dorothy passed away at age  in . As a single parent, Tim brought both boys into manhood, teaching them the value of hard work and living life with integrity.

Infatuated and fascinated with all things mechanical, Tim had a teenage love of cars that grew into a vibrant, lifelong obsession.

Proud as he was pleased to be called a “hot rodder,” the Santa Barbaran added “land speed racer” in  after his inaugural trip to the salt flats.

He earned membership in the Bonneville MPH Club recording a MPH land speed record in  and then later worked relentlessly to help his two sons, Brian (MPH) and Bradley (MPH), join the prestigious racing club.

Entranced by the ultimate rush of unlimited speed and enduring camaraderie, Rochlitzer’s passion laid the foundation of his business life fabricating racecars. In , he hung the True Radius Bending shingle and began a tube bending and metal fabrication business that remained in continuous operation until .

Stories abound about “there was never a racer that he wouldn’t help,” which ate away at the profit margin and regularly dented the successful business model. Tim Rochlitzer always did things his way, in his time, regardless of what anyone or any business model had to say.

You either admired or could be driven crazy by this single, enduring attribute.

He served for many years as President of the Gold Coast Racing & Roadster Club that is responsible for the founding and perpetuation of the Dry Lakes Racing Hall of Fame (DLRHOF) that recognizes the astonishing

achievements of land speed racers. His peers voted him into the DLRHOF in .

An avid dirt bike rider, he spent countless weekends riding in the backcountry giving his sons an early appreciation of nature and the art of two-wheel drifting. “You go where you look and keep your feet on the pegs,” was an oft-repeated phrase that is now a metaphor for life that his boys value.

Tim was preceded in death by wife Dorothy, brother Joseph, parents Catherine and Joseph as well as so many of his Bonneville racing extended family, so a reunion for the record books must be going on as you read this.

Sons Bradley (Bess), Brian (Sarah), and three grandchildren Avery, Jade and Bo mourn his passing knowing that the future has a hole in it where dad and grandpa should be.

A celebration of this largerthan-life character will be held on October th, , pm, at the Mendenhall Museum in Buellton, CA.

As an infant Ann suffered from prickly heat, and in  her father, Felix, on the advice of the family’s physician, moved his family from Taft to Santa Barbara in search of a cooler climate. Ann grew up in Santa Barbara, attended local schools, and as a young teenager during WWII worked in her father’s grocery store, The Barbara Store, at the intersection of Chapala and Ortega streets.

She was a graduate of Santa Barbara Catholic High School and also attended the Santa Bar-

bara College of the University of California. At age  she first met the young man who would later become her husband, Lewis Goodier, while on a horseback riding outing with friends at Hendry’s beach. On August , , Ann and Lew were married at the Santa Barbara Mission. They had three children and were married for  years.

In addition to being a loving wife and devoted mother, Ann pursued a long career in fashion and clothing sales at I. Magnin and Saks Fifth Avenue department stores. She attracted a devoted clientele who came to her because of her sense of style and her gentle but uncompromising honesty. Ann was a consummate professional; her greatest reward was in knowing she helped her clients look their best, and she cultivated friendships with some of Santa Barbara’s most prominent citizens through her work.

They found in Ann a timeless classiness, discretion, and a sympathetic ear. She retired at age . The time spent at work did not detract from Ann’s devotion to her home and family. Ann cultivated a beautiful garden and adorned her home with flowers, ornamentals, and fruit trees. She was an ambitious cook and her home was often filled with the aroma of prime rib on Sunday evenings when the family would gather for dinner. In addition to her devotion to her husband, children, and extended family, Ann was a lover of animals: she delighted in the covies of quail that dashed about her property and in stroking her beloved cat.

Ann’s gentle sweetness, grace, wry humor, and unassuming integrity will be sorely missed.

Ann was preceded in death by her parents; her brother and only sibling, Louis F. Hengehold; and her husband, Lewis E. Goodier III. She is survived by her children Lewis E. “Ward” Goodier IV of Santa Paula, CA, Nan G. Mills and her husband, David of Santa Barbara, Jon L. Goodier and his wife, Robyn, of Austin, TX, and by her grandchildren, Kai Mills and Kate, Anabelle, and Lucy Goodier. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, with whom she was very close. At Ann’s request, no formal services are planned. In lieu of gifts, donations may be made to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara or Serenity House, both of whom the family wishes to thank for their expert care during Ann’s final days.

Measure S Consternation

A

fter decimating probably the best Adult Education program in the country, Santa Barbara City College has its hand out, asking for almost $300 million plus interest from the very taxpayers who benefited from Adult Ed. They say they need Measure S to upgrade and maintain the facilities. Measure V was supposed to do that!

They plan to tear down the Wake Center that they stole from Adult Ed, turn it into another SBCC campus, add students, put more pressure on housing, and push rents even higher. SBCC enrollment already exceeds UCSB’s; local high school enrollment is declining.

Please vote “no” on Measure S. — John Powell, S.B.

ou Segal’s Voice last week against Measure S was wrong on one important factual detail. The likely future annual rate of property-tax increase under Measure S in the district is projected to be 3.75 percent, a conservative number considered smaller than the likely increase. Also, property-tax revenue increases grew faster than what was projected for Measure V; the future tax rate for Measure V may be decreased as a result. Vote “yes” on Measure S. — Lanny Ebenstein, S.B.

any recommend Santa Barbara County become a center of high-technology and alternative-energy business. To have a truly vibrant and resilient economy, the county must take full advantage of its natural resources, including petroleum, an economic backbone for over a century, with an excellent record of safety.

Supporters of Measure P want to severely restrict the oil industry and lose future economic expansion. The harm would be greatest in the North County, where most of the oil company and oil service employees, and their families, live. Vote “no” on Measure P. — Franziska Shepard, Santa Maria

he county may already be losing money from Big Oil because of the costs of road maintenance from heavy truck traffic, environmental contamination from extraction, and other impacts. In the last 15 years, County Fire has responded to over 400 waste leaks and spills from oil production.

Other counties have an oil-extraction tax to compensate taxpayers for the high costs of this industry. We don’t. The only direct revenue the county gets from oil companies is property taxes. Those taxes account for only 0.6 percent of our total county budget and would continue regardless.

Measure P stops a boom in thousands of new oil wells using risky and polluting oil-extraction techniques, which will result in declining property values and waste and pollution of our irreplaceable water supplies by toxic chemicals. Stand up to Big Oil. Pass Measure P.

Rent Control No Solution

T

he “No Vacancy” cover story on September 18 [independent.com/news] quoted Bob Bartlein comparing San Francisco rents, saying, “the rents in Santa Barbara are considered dirt cheap.” I live and own rentals in Santa Barbara, and I also have rented an apartment in San Francisco for over seven years: Mr. Bartlein is absolutely correct.

I also noted the “anonymous city official” who stated “some form of rent control is probably one of the few ways that the large increases in the rents are going to stop.” Today, San Francisco is one of the most expensive rental markets in the U.S. The city adopted rent control over 30 years ago, an event that — for reasons beyond the scope of this letter — has exacerbated virtually every problem discussed in the article, including poorly maintained rental units, a dwindling supply of rentals, sky-high rents, and more. Also, with rent control comes yet another governmental agency to administer the ordinance with its employees, retirement and healthcare plans, offices, vehicles. If you think administering rent control is inexpensive, take a look at the number of employees the San Francisco Rent Board has and review — James H. Smith, S.B. their budget.

A T IS V A L IS IN E P A R D AN E R PARTY CULTU N U C SB ot much time has passed since I lived and breathed Isla Vista. I drank sweet rum in paper cups. I walked through the streets at night, sometimes alone, shivering from the coastal chill. With a blood-alcohol content that certainly exceeded the legal limit, I flew down Pardall on my rickety, red bike. I lived for Thursday nights and for the mix of excitement and ease, wandering into neighbors’ houses, often finding doors open but no one home.

Freshman year, I showed up to the Santa Cruz dorms with an IKEA hamper, a Pottery Barn quilt, and a boyfriend. It didn’t take long for some of the 18-year-old women on my floor to let me know that boyfriends hold you back from the college experience expected to be so wonderfully wild. While eating at long tables in the dining commons on Sunday nights, my dorm mates would brag about their weekends in Isla Vista. One girl was always so exhausted when she picked at her penne doused with parmesan; I started to wonder if fatigue was the sole indicator of real fun.

I was not dead tired. I had spent the weekend at Lizard’s Mouth, rock climbing and having picnics with my boyfriend.

Soon I realized that the idea that boyfriends curtail rambunctious college behavior is not entirely false. The beginning of my college experience was simply a different one, filled with respect and affection, mostly lacking excessive partying.

As the year progressed, I got to know my dorm mates better.

We ventured to the Ortega dining common, which was smaller and funkier; somehow the geeks and jocks (surfers) mixed, and it all felt right. It was a better version of Mean Girls.

Sophomore year, I moved to the  block of Pasado Road into one of those double duplexes that define Isla Vista. I grew up in that apartment. One fall night, 15 or so people packed into our

kitchen and poured out onto our balcony. For some reason, I made everyone an individual margarita with the Magic Bullet. Twice.

It was tame.

After two years, my boyfriend and I broke up, and I jumped headfirst into the madness I had witnessed from afar.

I drank cheap beer on Thursdays, sometimes straight from the “Flabongo” beer bong my friends and I made by stabbing a pink plastic flamingo we found in our backyard. Late one summer night, I climbed over the no-beachaccess sign and jumped into the ocean with a dude who I had gawked at for the better part of a year.

Many weekends, I bounced from house to house, without a care in the world, warmed up with liquid courage. Driving, designated drivers, even designated walkers — all entirely unnecessary. I watched guys pee off rooftops and skateboard over bonfires. I wore at least one Halloween costume I’d rather not divulge.

Also, I studied a lot, worked at the bookstore, wrote a column for this paper, and completed a senior history thesis about the Prohibition. After one long weeknight at Davidson Library,

BY KELSEY BRUGGER PHOTOS BY PAUL WELLMAN

while riding my bike home around 2 a.m, I ran into my roommates streaming off of Bill’s Bus on Embarcadero del Mar after an evening at the Old Town Tavern. I thought I had hit rock bottom. The day I turned my paper in, I invited 30 friends over to re-celebrate the repeal and the end of my library confinement.

During my four years, I met some of the greatest women I’m sure I’ll ever know. On Sunday mornings, my roommates and I would powwow in our living room, with smudged eye makeup and messy hair, laughing harder than we had the night before.

I had lived the beautiful nightmare.

And when I returned to Isla Vista as a reporter, viewing the town through a new lens, I felt nostalgic for the experiences I had had in this place that taught me how to have fun and, eventually, how to be strong. But in the past several months, I have been speaking with students who have reminded me of the darker elements I do not miss: the grimness of a party culture fueled by alcohol and charged with testosterone.

HOW MUCH SEX IS TOO MUCH SEX?

Freshmen are required at the start of the school year to take a two-part tutorial known as Gaucho FYI. If you think two hours of online instruction followed by a student-run seminar is exactly what a bunch of hormonal 18-year-olds need to get up to speed about sex, you are mistaken.

A few years ago, a group of UCSB freshmen was asked how many sex partners they thought the average college student had each year. The kids threw out numbers like six, eight, 10. The correct number, on average, is one. The expectation that sex is to be had freely and often is certainly prevalent in Isla Vista. The misogynist ravings of Elliot Rodger, who went on a killing rampage in I.V. in May, highlighted this belief.

Clear boundaries often do not exist between men and women on and off campus. After a long night of drinking, a friend of mine crashed at a party, passing out in a bed with three dudes she had known from elementary school. Hours later, she suddenly awoke when the guy lying next to her started to shove his hand down her pants.

She freaked. Though she knew it was not sex or penetration or rape, she knew it was a violation, and she made sure he knew it, too.

These violations are all too common in an atmosphere drenched in liquor. Yet many activists contend that discussions about sexual assault should not revolve around the use of alcohol or drugs, because it could suggest women are to blame for the violence they experience. And worse, it gives guys the excuse that they were too drunk to know what they were doing. Even the UC task force on ending sexual misconduct

mix precariously every weekend, we do need to talk about them in the same conversation.

Nearly every major player grappling with this problem across the nation says we need to better educate our young men. That’s a no-brainer. But we also need to realize these guys can be dangerous when they are extremely drunk. Teaching young women to be safe while consuming alcohol — don’t put your glass down at a bar, for instance — does not guarantee they will not find themselves in a very bad situation. And it certainly does not blame them if they do.

But what is sexual assault and is it even a legal term? No, it is not, but sexual battery and rape are legal terms. Sexual assault is a commonly used catchall for the following: “Unwanted sexual contact by one person against another, without consent, under circumstances of force or fear, threat of force, or the inability to consent or resist due to the intoxication or unconsciousness.” Legally, for rape, a penis has to penetrate a vagina. Rape by intoxication occurs when a victim is too intoxicated to consent and the perpetrator knew she was in that state.

A law signed by the governor on September 28 specifically targets college campuses. It requires, among other things, that they adopt a policy specifying an affirmative “yes” for sexual activity to be consensual. The idea is rather simple. If a woman does not clearly express to her partner she wants to engage in sexual behavior, the act is not considered a consensual one. The absence of a “no” or “stop” is not enough. Only yes means yes.

released a report two weeks ago specifically stating that education about the two topics should not be conflated. The intention is to stop young men from harming women rather than telling women not to drink because they might get raped.

The reality is that young men are at risk of making very bad decisions when they partake in a party culture so established it practically mandates taking three shots of tequila before leaving the house. Sixty-nine percent of cases reported to the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center involve alcohol. And that’s for the entire county; records for student populations are not available.

In Isla Vista, where alcohol and testosterone

When the legislation was first introduced by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson in February, I must admit, I was skeptical. How would a new law mandating specific behavior that takes place behind closed doors actually force a young man to stop to ask a young woman if she’s down to get down? If the government tells young dudes what to do, aren’t they most likely going to do the opposite?

Here’s where I was wrong: If enough buzz can be generated about this new law, and it certainly will, young men will start to take the issue more seriously. That way, doubters like me (the old me) will shut up from arguing that the law is unnecessarily intrusive and artificializes

WHEN GUYS START MAKING IT CLEAR TO ONE ANOTHER THAT

HAVING SEX WITH INCAPACITATED WOMEN IS NOT COOL, THEN THE FRAMEWORK THAT SUPPORTS SUCH BEHAVIOR, IN ISLA VISTA AND AROUND THE WORLD, WILL BEGIN TO BREAK a private experience. Plus, the woman doesn’t explicitly have to mutter the word yes. She just has to be conscious enough to make it clear she is equally as interested. That sounds fair.

ISLAND FEVER AND CAMPUS NEGLECT

Living in Isla Vista is sort of like living on an actual island, one from which you can easily escape. Some refer to I.V.’s square mile as Animal House. I prefer Lord of the Flies. Isla Vista exists as a self-contained bubble, a no-man’s land, widely reputed to be the most densely populated unincorporated area in the United States. Despite numerous attempts to form its own government by becoming a city, or becoming part of another city such as Goleta, Isla Vista has no formal government except at the county level. (On October 7, there will be a town hall meeting to discuss self-governance at St. Mark’s church.)

Most of its limited funding must come from the county’s already over-burdened general fund. Except for the 34 members of the university police who work with the county’s sheriff ’s station, little funding comes from the UCSB budget — this despite the fact that I.V. would probably be little more than a beautiful swamp without the university.

Historically the university has turned a blind eye to Isla Vista troubles, claiming it does not have jurisdiction in those trenches. Even after the four-hour mêlée of Deltopia last spring, the university had a hands-off policy. Its spokesperson, George Foulsham, emailed The Santa Barbara Independent explaining that students convicted of misdemeanors or felonies do not receive automatic discipline, because its jurisdiction extended only to campus property. For incidents off campus including sexual assault,

abuse, hazing, or harassment, he said, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Seventy-eight colleges are now under federal investigation for the ways in which they investigated sexual assault. UCSB is not on that list — yet. But if the university wants to maintain its reputation as a top research institution, it better think twice about the activity it ignores.

Contributing to the problem is that thousands of the roughly 25,000 who live in Isla Vista attend Santa Barbara City College, many with the intent of transferring to UCSB. The exact figure is unclear.

To be fair, Chancellor Henry Yang has begun a campaign to bring a more authoritative presence to Isla Vista, including appointing Assistant Vice Chancellor George Thurlow to focus on Isla Vista, increasing police visibility, adding more police officers, and publicizing a tough stance on sexual violence.

About a year and a half ago, the UC system conducted a campus climate survey, which included questions about “unwanted sexual conduct.” In the 250-page report, only two pages were devoted to assessing this problem.

At UCSB, 8 percent of the students, faculty, and staff indicated they had experienced such misconduct — the highest percentage reported from any of the UC campuses. It’s not difficult to find students who will talk about these things; in fact, it is somewhat difficult to imagine that it was only 8 percent of the campus population who admitted to such experiences.

“civil unrest.” She was with a group of mutual friends who stopped by for a watermelon margarita in my backyard before heading to the streets on the bright Saturday. It was fun. No one got hurt.

Abby is an English major who had transferred to UCSB from San Diego last year. It turned out she had already had plenty of experiences to share — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The most disturbing one happened at a house party on a warm Saturday night during spring quarter. Abby had had too much to drink and decided to go home. She needed sleep. When she woke up the next morning, alone in her room, she found a used condom in the trash bin next to her bed. She had spent much of the evening, like she often did, at a party with a group of close friends, so she asked them what happened. They told her Sean had come over after the party.“You don’t remember that?” they asked. She texted Sean. He replied, “I think we had sex,” and that he was drunk at the time and did not really know what was going on.

Was it rape? According to the law, it could be. In court, a prosecuting attorney would have to prove that Sean knew Abby was too drunk. But the morning after, Abby shrugged it off. If it weren’t for the condom in the trash, she never would have known it happened anyway. (Condoms do not typically first come to mind when thinking of rape.

His remembering to put on a condom raises the question, just how drunk was he?)

Abby continued to see Sean, who she had known since high school, at get-togethers around town. But he was becoming increasingly more aggressive each time. One night at a party, when she was walking out of the bathroom, Sean grabbed her and threw her onto the bed. She pushed him back; he stopped and said he was sorry. But one week later, at another party when they were standing with a group of friends, Sean suddenly pinned her up against the wall. His friends had to intervene. “Sean felt that since we had already had sex once, he could start pushing it more,” Abby believes. “And it never happened when we were sober.” This whole experience with Sean began to make her increasingly disenchanted with Isla Vista. One night around 11 p.m., after getting off work at a downtown restaurant, Abby slowly drove through I.V.’s congested streets, watching dozens of people stumbling down the block. She thought to herself,“I look like that.”

It took Abby about a month to come to terms with the reality that she had been raped. Like so many of these assaults, she did not report the incident to the police. She did not go to the university with a complaint. “How do I know the state of mind he was in at that point?” she asked.

She still believes Sean is a good person despite his recent behavior and does not think he should be academically or criminally punished.

She did tell the story of that night to a few mutual guy friends, who were shocked and repulsed. Sean never has admitted guilt for that night. Conceding guilt would suggest he was aware of the things he did when he was very drunk. Abby used to hang out with him and their friends every weekend. Now, she almost never does.

NAVIGATING THE AFTERMATH

Sexual-violence victims often blame themselves. In fact, the majority of women (and most are women) who walk into or call the UCSB advocacy center do not want to consider what happened to them rape. The majority of the 84 women who did contact the center in 2013 reported they were totally incapacitated at the time of the incident.

Many don’t exactly remember what happened. Sometimes women worry that the guy might be severely punished.

That might appear mind-boggling — from a status-quo point of view. A woman was just assaulted, and she doesn’t want to see the rapist in jail? Well, first of all, she might not have just been raped. Often six months go by before the woman goes to the CARE (Campus Advocacy Resources & Education) offices. And, usually, she has some form of prior relationship with the man.

What women most often do want are relatively personal things, such as help in changing their class schedule. Maybe she cannot bear sitting in a small discussion section with the same guy every Monday evening. Maybe she wants to switch to another dorm. And these are just the practical matters. Forget the decision to report or not report to the police or Judicial Affairs. Forget the self-blaming. Forget the trauma. Forget the anger, fear, and uncertainty. Forget the denial or equivocation. Just think of the bureaucratic bullshit that comes with trying to change one class.

Currently there is no way to know how many Isla Vistans are victims — or survivors — of sexual assault.

Only 16 students filed such complaints at Judicial Affairs in the 2012-2013 school year. And only about 20 called the Sheriff ’s Office each year.

Jill Dunlap, the director of CARE who has worked closely with survivors for 12 years, often hears: “I want to get [a medical] exam done, but I don’t want to tell anybody.

I don’t want to cause a big stir, and I don’t want my friends to know.”

As the center for resources available on campus, Dunlap’s offices offer a one-stop shop, connecting students to Judicial Affairs, law enforcement, deans of students,

housing administrators, and Title IX coordinators. This is an essential service.

But for students who might want to establish a legal case against the predator, they have to go off campus to have a forensic medical exam, also known as a rape kit. These exams collect evidence from swabs taken from many body parts. It takes four hours. It is not pleasant. Thirty-one students from the South County’s colleges got the medical exam last year. Taking a rape kit does not oblige a victim to enter an investigation. But they can be useful in prosecuting these drunken incidents.

The majority of victims are not attacked by strangers in an alleyway. The most high-profile exception was the brutal gang rape that occurred near the Rec Cen on campus last February. News of the violent act shook the entire community, prompting Chancellor Yang to add five new university police officers and to install large surveillance cameras.

Most acts of sexual violence in Isla Vista have not garnered as much attention. They usually occur behind closed doors after a night of heavy drinking, creating murky memories for those involved. If they do end up in court, they are incredibly difficult to prosecute and are often just one person’s word against another’s. Sexual-assault cases typically do not have outside witnesses, making it difficult to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt.

One of the oldest claims against women who charge they have been raped is that they are lying. So-called men’s rights campaigners contend that a woman who wakes up the morning after a drunken hookup would be in such denial that she would falsely accuse her partner of rape. They worry that these recent efforts to fight sexual assault on college campuses will empower women, prompting them to file false reports. Though there was one case a year ago of a young woman who was convicted of filing a false rape report, Dunlap said this is very rare: “I don’t think the majority of women who wake up after having casual sex say I’m going to cry rape. We just don’t see that.”

JUST SAY STOP

For a growing number of students, there is something much more troubling that they do see, and that is how few students step in to help very drunk women from being sexually abused. Advocates are calling for bystander intervention, which has become a focal point in recent discussions. One thought is that the best person to intervene when a woman is too drunk to know what she is doing is a man. When guys start making it clear to one another that having sex with incapacitated women is not cool, then the framework that supports such behavior will begin to break.

At her second party in I.V., a student named Natalie saw a guy holding the arm of a woman so drunk she appeared to be on the verge of throwing up.

When Natalie went to intervene, asking the guy to let her go, others at the party took issue. It became awkward quickly. Even though she was able to get the intoxicated girl to a safe place, her close friend told her to stop putting her nose in other people’s business. “This is a hookup culture,” her friend told her.

“People want to sleep with each other.”

If you are a victim of sexual assault and would like to speak with an advocate, call the Rape Crisis Center at 564-3696 or UCSB’s CARE at 893-4613.

Why are oil companies from Texas and China spending millions to stop Measure P? • Because their real goal is to drill 10,000+ new wells in Santa Barbara County using risky techniques like Fracking, Acidizing and Steam Injection.

• These techniques waste and pollute millions of gallons of water, trigger earthquakes and would double emissions, making climate change worse.

• The County has confirmed Measure P would have no impact on current oil production. Oil is less than 1% of our economy, but this massive expansion puts the other 99% of our economy in ag, tourism, tech at risk.

right: “Things were getting out of hand at home, so I decided to move out here and turn my life around,” said Colleen Talavera while looking out at the ocean from the harbor. Talavera is currently six months into her treatment for alcohol addiction at Casa Serena and plans on staying in Santa Barbara for a full year before returning home to Lompoc for good. “I come out near the water to meditate because it’s soothing and serene. It gives me a chance to absorb everything from the weekend,” she said.

Festival

This weekend, in the heart of Carpinteria, more than 80,000 guacamole-loving people will assemble to celebrate arguably the world’s most fabulous fruit — the avocado. (To be fair to the other fruits out there, we are biased around these parts). This year marks the 28th edition of the annual California Avocado Festival, a raucously fun, full-family good time with dozens of bands, vendors, and, of course, avocado everything.

But often overlooked in the smiley swirl of avocado ice cream and avocado beer and small car-sized vats of guacamole is the fact that the festival itself is essentially as green as the flesh of it’s namesake fruit. As Avofest boardmember and head of operations Gregg Carty said, “The greenest thing at the festival are still the avocados, but taking care of the environment that they come from has been a priority of ours for over 20 years.”

Thanks in large part to their partnership with Channel Islands Janitorial, this year’s festival will once again be a zero-waste event with more than 98 percent of the weekend’s trash diverted from the landfill. “Basically, the only sorts of things that end up going in the trash are baby diapers. I mean, we don’t really even have many trash

cans,” said Carty. This is achieved by, among other things, refusing to use Styrofoam (a policy they implemented two decades ago!), being a known “No Confetti Egg” zone, using only recyclable utensils and plates for all the food vendors on hand, offering ample composting bins, and selling reusable commemorative Avofest beer cups in the drinking areas.

As if that weren’t enough, they also power the whole thing with biodiesel generators, collect and recycle all the grease, use only LED lighting in vendors’ areas, and block off all the storm drains on Linden Avenue during the event to prevent unwanted downstream impacts. Perhaps most impressively, all of the unused food and avos are donated to the Foodbank of Santa Barbara. In fact, last year alone, the festival gave nearly 1,300 pounds of grub to the Foodbank in addition to 876 pounds of guacamole. As Carty put it, “Every year, we are always looking for ways to make the festival better.”

The Avocado Festival takes place Friday-Sunday, October 3-5, at 800 Linden Avenue. For info, call 684-0038 or see avofest.com.

he fronds rustled in the gentle breeze as I reclined in the shade of a palm tree. With my skin still tingling from a spa treatment and my belly full of turkey sandwich and fresh fruit smoothie, I soon fell into slumber. I was in paradise, but I wasn’t on a tropical island vacation — I was at the Bacara Resort & Spa. Anchoring the northern entrance to Goleta, the 14-year-old Bacara has long been a favorite with tourists, and on a recent visit to its spa, I discovered why. I was invited to select a treatment from the extensive, recently updated spa menu and chose their signature facial, the Bacara SeaCreation. As the name suggests, the skin product used — BABOR (us.babor.com) — comprises microorganisms harvested from the ocean depths, anti-aging proteins, and other scientificsounding ingredients. The treatment promised (and delivered) a “dramatic improvement” to my skin. (Added bonus: A portion of the proceeds from this particular selection goes into the Gaviota Coast Conservancy coffers.)

For 80 minutes, a delightful and knowledgeable spa employee named Holly cleansed, plumped, peeled, and toned my epidermis while I sunk into deep relaxation. When time was up, I was given the bottles of BABOR used on my face — eye cream, serum, and rich cream — and sent on my way to enjoy the rest of the 42,000-squarefoot luxury spa’s amenities.

I chose to forego the sauna and whirlpool and headed to the Spa Café for lunch. From the nutritionally conscientious menu, I ordered the aforementioned sandwich, which I ate on the outdoor patio overlooking the saline spa pool. While I dined, the sky alternated between foggy and sunshiny, the cloud cover abating completely by the time I made my way poolside, where I spent the next two hours between sleep and wake.

I’d come to the resort frazzled from a long work week. After five hours at the Bacara, I was in a state of calm, rejuvenated by the facial, food, and fabulous location. The tourists definitely have it right.

nside the foyer of The Oaks at Ojai spa, it was pleasantly dark after the bright afternoon sun of outside downtown Ojai. Down the main hallway toward the gardens hung a selection of area artists’ work and an activity board listing everything from Aquarobics to an assisted bike ride to Ventura. At various spots, eyeglasses hung, and it seemed odd that that so many people had left their glasses behind. Then we realized the specs were placed specifically where information was meant to be read so farsighted guests didn’t have to include cumbersome glasses in their spa outfits — amazingly thoughtful.

We wandered out to the pool, where a handful of ladies bobbed like apples in the water, chattering away. “Work your core,” said the instructor, reinforcing the apple image. We took the spa tour next, and though the building was semi-historical, built in 1920 as the Hotel Roblar, the woman who fashioned it into a spa is arguably more historical.

Sheila Cluff, a renowned Canadian figure skater, hails from the old school of fitness boosters like Jack LaLanne. Though less famous, she is credited with inventing what she called “cardiovascular dance,” better known as aerobics today. At 78, she still leads classes and offers support and encouragement to her visitors, who are mainly women The spa has all the amenities you want: massages, skin treatments, hair and beauty, sauna, pool, and secluded gardens. But it also includes nutrition counseling. Many of our new spa friends said they came more than once a year to “jump-start the diet.”

Our room was so restfully nice that we worried about preferring the comforts of private patio, spa tub, and fireplace. But the activities seemed too exciting not to try. Wife attended a yoga session; husband went to the pool. Dinner was tables set for four, and you could sit anywhere. The menu was a salmon quiche with a carrot mouse, salad, and a cranberry tart with a yogurt sauce for dessert. It was all delicious and already pre-portioned.

Evening included an after-dinner stroll through town, a movie, and a demonstration of portrait drawing by an area artist. We skipped the walk but enjoyed the sauna (both steam and dry) before the depths of bed.

The full spa experience day began with fruit, yogurt, and a hardboiled egg, a gentle stretch wakeup class, then aqua aerobics. Wife enjoyed an “Ojai pixie scrub” consisting of a semi-abrasive salve of tangerines. Then it was on to a step class, a facial, and another yoga class, while husband sat in the peaceful room and read.

The next day, relaxed and glowing, core and calves a little sore, wife imagined returning herself and, when she later looked, had lost two pounds — a gift even more thoughtful than reading glasses on the wall.

Two Chicago Couples Rewrite the B&B Story

E

motional revenue” isn’t something you plug into a

business plan. But for the two married couples who run Santa Ynez’s ForFriends Inn — a camaraderie-cultivating, seven-room bed and breakfast located in the middle of that tiny wine country town — those frequent moments of pleasing their guests mean much more than the bottom line.

“We wanted to create a really wonderful experience for people, and, by extension, we would feed off of that,” explained co-owner Dave Pollock, who opened the inn in June 2012 with his longtime friend, Jim Campbell. Along with their wives, Katie Pollock and Debbie Campbell, they’ve been reaping such happy rewards since day one, said Campbell, who explained, “That’s what makes us want to come here every day.”

The two successful corporate executives — Campbell in marketing, Pollock in business development and management — first met when Pollock moved his family into a home on the same suburban Chicago street as Campbell, who’d actually grown up on the same block. They clicked immediately and together raised families, built careers, brainstormed business plans, and jammed regularly on guitars for years until Pollock was transferred to Los Angeles. “That left a huge whole in all of our hearts,” said Campbell. “It sounds corny, but it’s true.”

As their kids approached college age, the families plotted how to get the band back together, even hosting an “ideation session” one weekend where they all sat around proposing and dissecting projects like they’d done in boardrooms. “We might have freaked our wives out,” laughed Pollock, who said they were very close to settling on a sporting goods company for senior citizens but realized the “people component” was missing.

After a particularly memorable day at Riverbench Winery, they examined the hospitality scene of the Santa Ynez Valley. “Through purely market research,” said Campbell, “it became evident that this place was trending, but there weren’t enough beds for heads.”

By January 2012, they were ready to make a move. Santa Ynez’s Edison Street Inn was on the market but far too expensive. Then

the price dramatically dropped a week later, just before they moved onto a new idea. The banks loved their business plan — which also aims for more properties in the future — so they closed escrow at the end of May and opened as ForFriends in June. It’s been steady since, with about 70 percent occupancy compared to the 15 percent pattern they inherited, and they also host corporate retreats (with use of their tech-ready meeting room) and “turnkey” wedding packages — Pollock is even ordained — ranging from easy elopements to full property takeovers.

But the real magic happens daily, from Debbie’s homemade granola, goat cheese quiche, and rosemary popovers for breakfast to the happy-hour jam sessions on the deck, where the husbands prompt guests to join in on their renditions of an impressive array of classics, from “Help Me, Rhonda” to “Psycho Killer.” Said Pollock, “So much of what you see here that we try to deliver every single day, especially on the deck, is what we used to do back home.”

Mono Lake

A

ncient Mono Lake was the stately body of water on which we chose to christen a spiffy new green polyethylene canoe with backrests: a birthday gift from me to my son, Karl. Though the origin of the word is uncertain, Mono (pronounced mō-nō) is believed by some to be a Yokuts word for “fly eater,” referring to the regional Native Americans who would harvest fly pupae for tasty snacks they called kutsavi.

The lake covers about 60 square miles and is one of the oldest in North America. Its present-day topography was molded by millions of years of volcanic activity: slipping, sinking, and tilting until a bowl-like basin filled with water and became Mono Lake.

Salts and minerals traveled with Sierra streams into Mono Lake over the years. Lacking an outlet, the lake became two and a half times as salty as the ocean as freshwater evaporated. There are no fish in Mono Lake due to the harsh alkaline water, but it’s still very much alive. Alkali flies and half-inch-long brine shrimp thrive, providing food for more than a million migratory birds that visit each spring and summer. For some species, this is their only rest stop between Canada and Central or South America. For others, like the California gull, it is a nesting site for thousands of chicks — one of the largest colonies in the world.

Now my white-haired self needs a helping hand to climb aboard, but I remember a skinny girl, with long dark hair, pushing a canoe with both hands into a Midwestern lake. Karl and I drift in his canoe, as silent as a moccasin tiptoeing across a mirror, suspended on the horizon. Mother Earth uses upward-moving

freshwater springs that provide calcium with just the correct portion of carbonate-rich alkaline water to sculpt her mystical limestone tufa (too-fah) towers. They form forever-changing art around the mouth of a spring, flourishing with life while serving as safe platforms for large osprey nests.

We are trapped in time, between a real and reflected world, oblivious to the lone, dark cloud swiftly moving across the sky in our direction. As sprinkles hit my face, I sit up straight and transfer as much power as I can muster into the now-vertical paddle.

With each pull through inky water, years of images bubble past me. Karl expertly maneuvers around partially exposed rocks until we reach shore and I can easily climb out. When I glance back from the car, though, I’m sure there is a young girl with long, dark hair pulling her mother’s green canvas-covered wooden canoe safely onto that long-ago misty beach.

Foresters Coach Bill Pintard Makes Major League Baseball Predictions

B

by John Zant of Adam Wainwright. “If Kershaw loses Game 1, I don’t think the Dodgers are going to win [the series],” Pintard said.

“Something in the back of my head says they’re in trouble.

The problem is the pressure. The Dodgers are going to be uptight, all the way up to their new owners. They’ve got a lot invested … the highest payroll in baseball. St. Louis is very grounded, no Hollywood hype. They’re the defending league champions. They slow the game down and make you sweat.

What’s [L.A. outfielder Yasiel] Puig going to do under pressure? I’m going with the Dodgers, but it won’t be easy.” The Washington Nationals, with the best record in baseball, will be a heavy favorite against the wildcard winner in the other NL series. “They’re ready to rock and roll,” Pintard said.

“Their pitching is good, and they’re exciting on the field.

ATHLETES of the WEEK

It was an exciting week on the tennis court and football field for Santa Barbara High, and Madison Hale and

about baseball play-offs. His Santa Barbara Foresters have won five National Baseball Congress (NBC) World Series titles in the last nine years. That is a few notches in baseball talent below the big-league World Series, but from a competitive standpoint, the NBC tournament — played in the August heat of Wichita, Kansas — is a humdinger. It begins with 30 teams, and when you lose two games, you’re done. The Foresters took a loss three games into this year’s tournament and had to sweat it out the rest of the way, but they prevailed all the way to the championship, a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Studs in 12 innings.

Before the major league postseason got underway this week, Pintard, who moonlights as a scout for the New York Yankees, was asked to put on his cap and assess the chances of the last 10 teams standing.

Hale rallied from a 5-1 deficit in her first-round set against CIF Division 1 fourth-ranked Corona del Mar and won 7-6, sparking the Dons to a 10-8 road victory. Coach Greg Tebbe said the senior’s comeback win gave the Dons a psychological edge for the rest of the match.

On the football field, “Tick” Jellison became a big-play threat for Santa Barbara. The sophomore caught 10 passes for 167 yards and three touchdowns as the Dons won their third straight game, 35-28 over Royal at Peabody Stadium.

He has surfed, sailed and fished on the California coast most of his life. His art is based on these experiences and is oceanic/nautical in nature. To help protect the dwindling fisheries in our state, he has given up sport fishing, and now makes art that draws from time on the water. It is his hope to convince other people to love fish as much as he does by creating art about the sea that is lifelike and beautiful.

Contemporary/Modern: Selections from the Permanent Collection: This exhibition brings together a selection of painting and sculpture from the Museum’s permanent collection dating from 1958 to 2014. Recent works inventively reference and reinterpret the past—including both popular and obscure forms of painting, architecture, and design.

Earlier works, each part of significant movements in abstract painting, articulate reductive forms suggesting a distinctively utopian view of the future. By sampling and mixing substantial works of the present with the past, this installation aims to provide a glimpse into an ongoing and dynamic dialogue between the two. Featuring eleven works by eight artists of national and international renown: Helen Frankenthaler, Guy Goodwin, Frederick Hammersley, Josiah McElheny, John McLaughlin, Jorge Pardo, Larry Poons, and Lucas Samaras.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O. found herself falling in and out of love and crushing hard with alarming frequency back when she was 27. Mid-twenties crises being what they are, and not feeling sure if she’d ever fall deeply in love again, Karen therapeutically penned the bulk of the songs which have finally come to fruition (now that she is 35 and married) on her debut solo album, the beautifully lo-fi Crush Songs. On the whole, the album has the felling of a series of spontaneous sketches, replete with longing and mixed emotions, which seems appropriate in reflecting the ephemeral nature of crushes. On the first track, “Ooo,” Karen’s art-damaged voice

Before we released it, all of that music felt like a big secret. Over the last year it’s become something that has gone from feeling like a personal possession to something that is owned by anyone who wants to listen to it and get something out of it. The songs become the property of the people that like to hear them. The first time I ever had that experience was with the release of Impersonator. At first it was strange, but now it feels amazing.

Being a former religious studies student, would you be willing to make any book recommendations? I studied religion at

McGill University. Most of the books I read for school were pretty dry and not anything I’d recommend to someone who wasn’t studying religion academically, but I can comes accompanied by only an acoustic guitar: “Don’t tell me that they’re all the same / ’Cause even the sound of his name / Carries me over their reach / Back to some golden beach / Where only he remains,” she warbles, like a deconstructionist, soul-tortured torch singer. “Rapt,” by contrast, finds O. opining that, “Love is soft / Love’s a fucking bitch / Do I really need / Another habit like you?” Further on, “Body” finds Karen advising, “If you love somebody, anybody / There will always be someone else / So make it right for yourself.” Then there is the gleefully jejune “King,” on which O. sings, “King of Pop is dead and gone away / No one’ll ever take his place / He’s in his castle in the sky / Watching over you and I / And with his single sparkling glove / He blows us kisses to show his love / Is he walking on the moon? / I hope I don’t find out too soon.” Is this the expression of a genuine Michael Jackson tribute/crush or

recommend some of the books I’ve read over the past year or so that I got a lot out of: Andy Kaufman Revealed! by Bob Zmuda; I Will Never Be Beautiful Enough to Make Us Beautiful Together by Mira Gonzalez; The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood by James Gleick; How Proust Can Change Your Life by Alain de Botton; The White Album by Joan Didion.

How does performing change if/when you’re unable to connect with an audience? If

you’re a performer, and part of what you do involves performing to an audience and not just for an audience, you have to reach out to whoever is listening and hope they return the favor. When that doesn’t happen, it just makes performing harder and less fun because it feels like you’re talking to someone who doesn’t want to hear what you have to say. A show will always be somewhere on the spectrum; it’s rare that an audience is either 100 percent committed or 0 percent committed to what is happening onstage, but we’ve been grateful to have good audiences — Jake Blair for the most part.

a farcical reflection on the cult of personality as applied to “Saint Michael”? Either way, it’s a gem of a tune on a diamond in the rough of a record that just might leave you crushing on Karen O. — Sean Mageean

ost people seem to like the music of Majical Cloudz the first time they hear it, though a few thoughtful listens can leave folks a little unsettled. Like most things that feel ostensibly good, the music of the Montreal band stares convention in the eye, uninterested in delivering easy hooks or lyrical puns. Instead, words like “intimate,” “minimalist,” and “gut wrenching” are thrown around to describe Impersonator, the first release from Devon Welsh and multiinstrumentalist Matthew Otto since Majical Cloudz signed with Matador Records in 2013.

“Childhood’s End” and the album’s title track feel like the seminal moments on Impersonator, with Otto’s unconventional sonic sensibilities almost luring Welsh’s stripped-down, unassuming catharsis.

Indeed, the whole of Impersonator speaks for itself (and not just literally). It’s frank and beautiful, straightforward and soaring; it’s no wonder that anti-pop star Lorde tabbed the Canadian duo as openers for her current world tour, which hits the Santa Barbara Bowl (1122 N. Milpas St., 962-7411, sbbowl. com) this Thursday, October 9. We recently checked in with the band via email about what to expect.

SPOTLIGHT ON …

ANGÉLIQUE KIDJO Those who believe success necessitates versatility could easily point to Angélique Kidjo for proof. The West African–born songstress has long been heralded for her powerful command of the mike, but after three decades of music making, she’s become known for so much more.

A Grammy Award winner and UNICEF ambassador, Kidjo is practically synonymous with activism and women’s rights. While she left home in 1983 to pursue music in France, Kidjo has returned to Africa countless times over, wearing any number of hats. In 2014, Kidjo also added published author to her list of accolades with the release of her memoir, Spirit Rising: My Life, My Music, for HarperCollins.

This Saturday, October 4, Kidjo heads back to Santa Barbara for a concert at UCSB in support of her latest musical effort, Eve, a stunning 20-track collection dedicated to her mother, which features an awe-inspiring collection of collaborators and African voices, handcollected from her homeland.

“When I went to Kenya in 2012, the situation was less dire than when I went with Oxfam to the refugee camps in Chad in 2005,” Kidjo recalled recently via phone. “The inspiration [for the record] came from those trips, in the smiles, and the beauty and determination of those women to not be deprived of their humanity. They take a huge pride in being mothers, culture keepers — they are the backbone of my continent.”

Armed with a six-track recorder, Kidjo returned to her mother’s home country of Benin, teaching and recording the traditional women’s choirs there as she traveled.

The result is a record that practically explodes with life and stretches the gamut of Kidjo’s multipronged musical career, thanks to guest spots from the likes of Dr. John, the contemporary classical Kronos Quartet, and Vampire Weekend guitarist Rostam Batmanglij, just to name a few.

As anyone who’s seen Kidjo perform can attest, her presence is unlike any other. But armed with this new, vibrant output, she’s sure to exceed even fans’ expectations this time out.

Arts & Lectures brings Angélique Kidjo to UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Saturday, October 4, at 8 p.m. For tickets and info, call 893-3535 or visit artsandlectures .sa.ucsb.edu.

BEST FRENEMIES LYNDA BARRY AND MATT GROENING TALK LOVE, HATE & COMICS

by Lynda Weinman

S

ome of you may know me as Lynda, the co-founder of lynda.com, the website where you can learn digital skills, and the season sponsor of UCSB’s Arts & Lectures. What you might not know is that I went to college with The Simpsons creator Matt Groening and cartoonist/author Lynda Barry and that we’ve all been friends for well over 40 years.

In anticipation of Matt and Lynda’s upcoming talk, Love, Hate & Comics: The Friendship That Would Not Die, I spoke with them both about their shared history and long-lasting relationship as two of the funniest and most unapologetic frenemies I’ve ever known. Together, their improv will make you laugh, cry, and long to live your life in its most creative mind-set.

LYNDA BARRY Has Matt’s work had any influence on yours? Yes. Years pass where

we won’t talk, but it’s like he’s always in my head and his way of looking at the world has always had a big influence on me. It’s his mind that is so badass and hilarious.

Has your relationship changed since college? It’s still the same

relationship: completely based on wanting to irritate the other.

When he took over the editorship of our college paper, he made a proclamation that he would print anything that anyone submitted. I remember thinking, really? It became my joy to try to find something that he would not print. I wrote really crazy shit like how the media department at our college was now checking out guns, and I was complaining about that. And he published that when of course they weren’t.

Your latest book, Syllabus, us, is about your work as a teacher. Describe the trannsition from being an arttist, writer, and cartoonist st into being an instructor, r, or if it’s all just the samee thing to you. The state off

mind that I have when n I’m teaching is identical to that I have when I’m making a comic or writing a novel or working on a play.

I applied to be an artist-in-residence at the University of Madison; d they h were going to give me one semester with one class. After that I was hooked. Suddenly I had an experience with my students where I could see how images moved through the individual

and through a classroom. I could see a transformation that people underwent, particularly those who felt in the beginning that they were in a deficit because they stopped drawing when they were younger. Observing this process was just fascinating to me, and I started to get really interested in teaching.

Will you tell us about your latest book? Will it be available at the lecture? Syllabus is the notes that

I kept during my first three years of being what I call an “accidental professor” at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It includes the actual assignments that I gave my students. The book is about a kind of drawing that’s very different than representational drawing. It’s the drawing that’s kind of HUG IT OUT: Simpsons creator Matt Groening (left) and cartoonist Lynda Barry have known each other the language of comics; I’d even since their days at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. “The student population was made up of every creative weirdo in the Pacific Northwest,” Groening joked of his undergrad days. The pair put it before comics—more like appears together at the Arlington Theatre on October 10. the drawing we did when we were little and learning the alphabet.

My publisher, Drawn and Quarterly, did a beautiful job; it looks had parallel careers, and we stayed in touch with each other all and feels exactly like a composition notebook. What I wanted those years. We used to stay up late on the phone while we were with all my heart is that it would feel just like the comp books that inking our strips to keep each other company. we use in the class. So physically, it’s a really sweet book.

Has her work influenced yours? What I like about Lynda is that she follows her passion wherever it goes, and whatever she’s working on is just for her pushing herself into areas of risk and uncertainty.

Tell us about your friendship with Lynda and what it means to you. I find that very inspiring. Her work has such huge variety, but at I met Lynda at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash- its core I think it’s very personal, pro-individual, and trying to give ington, a small progressive school with no grades or required voice to people who are usually overlooked. courses. The student population was made up of every creative weirdo in the Pacific Northwest. Lynda was one of them, and I What do you hope that people get out of seeing the two of you? It was another. I think that we knew that we weren’t going to make will be really fun. We read aloud; we’ll do some comic strips that our livings with college credentials but that we were going to live we perform for the audience. We’ll talk about our friendship and some of the funny stuff that happens there. We’ll have some by our wits. And the school was full of people who felt that way.

Lynda was one of the great cartoonists, even back in college, embarrassing photos from our past, and then we’ll talk about and at the time she did little scratchy comic strips that I thought creativity. The rest is up for grabs … I guarantee the audience were hilarious. I liked drawing cartoons, as well, and I don’t know will be diverted. if we influenced each other so much as far as content goes; we just liked the idea of making comics. After graduation, she headed Okay, important last question. Where do you like to eat in Santa to Seattle, I headed to L.A., and we both continued to do comic Barbara? They are all taquerías: La Super-Rica, the most famous strips, which, for both of us, turned into weekly comic strips in place; Lilly’s; La Colmena; and Los Agaves. Three of those are the alternative newsweeklies around the country, and books. We right on Milpas, which is the most magical street in all of Santa Barbara!

his beautifully written and richly suggestive play sets a new standard for the portrayal of the hybrid cultures of the Pacific Rim in the 21st century. Through a skillful mixture of suspense, romance, literary allusion, and aesthetic philosophy, playwright Naomi Iizuka has arrived at a drama that lives up to its title, which aligns the play with a series of woodblock prints by the Japanese artist Hokusai. These images, known collectively as Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, include what is perhaps the single most famous image in all of Japanese art, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa.” Like WHEELER DEALER: Andrew Philpot plays Darius Wheeler, and Jully Lee her inspiration, Iizuka is interested in is Setsuko Hearn — or possibly the turbulence and in the undersides of great spirit of an anonymous 11th-century waves, although in her instance the wave Japanese writer — in Naomi Iizuka’s in question is cultural rather than aquatic. 36 Views.

Andrew Philpot is excellent as Darius Wheeler, a swashbuckling and unscrupulous dealer in East Asian antiquities.

Having made his fortune raiding the Orient like some kind of Indiana Jones, Wheeler provides a fulcrum for the dramatic shift that sweeps through the play’s 36 short scenes, leaving everyone affected in a different place as part of its wake. Jully Lee plays Setsuko Hearn, a rising young star of academic art history and a specialist in 11th-century Japanese literature. When Wheeler’s young assistant, John Bell (George Walker), leaves a fragment of a translation of what appears to be an undiscovered “pillow book” by an anonymous 11thcentury woman lying out in the gallery’s offices, the subsequent investigation sends shockwaves through both the scholarly world and the personal lives of the characters.

Leah Anderson plays the clever and resentful young artist Claire Tsong, and Karin Hendricks is Elizabeth Newman-Orr, an investigative reporter.

Under Risa Brainin’s sensitive and alert direction, 36 Views manages to be both believable and resonant, a satisfying contemporary mystery and an insightful reflection on the complex legacies of East Asian art and morality in the modern world. The character Setsuko Hearn would appear to be a reference to the legendary Japanese film actress Setsuko Hara, and Jully Lee’s impressive portrayal of this intelligent and passionate woman has to be considered one ■ of the year’s most seductive performances.

oeing Boeing was slated for production at Circle Bar B (CBB) long before fate dealt an eviction notice to the quirky and beloved dinner theater a few months ago. And now it seems only fitting that CBB should stage for its swan song a 50-year-old farce that centers on that modern symbol of dislocation: the airline.

I can promise you that with Boeing Boeing, Circle Bar B is ending with a bang, not a whimper. This second-week matinee locked in the attention and the laughs of a sold-out audience, as a cast of some of Santa Barbara’s finest actors pulled out all the stops. The chauvinistic premise of Boeing Boeing may be as silly and shallow as the notion of manhood peddled in a 1960s issue of Playboy magazine, and its successful revival (London in 2007, Broadway in 2008) may owe something to the nostalgia of the aging boomer generation.

But the kicker is in the hilarious dialogue, the skillful buildup of absurdity, and the way this cast carries the material to soaring altitude. Raymond Wallenthin, Tiffany Story, Jenna Scanlon, UCSB’s Gerry Hansen, Susie Couch, and understudy David Couch (for Dillon Yuhasz) starred.

The short drive to the Ranch has always felt to me like 30 miles out and 50 years back. From the sentimental comedy Wally’s Café to the slapstick spoof The Fox on the Fairway, CBB has been a country refuge, where business wears a personal face, patrons are on a first-name basis, and the foibles of life and love are figured in simpler outline. All theater misrepresents life, but in a culture that competes in lowering the bar for shock and viciousness in the name of ■ humor, CBB has always stood for an innocent alternative.

RATTLE THEM BONES

Tony Bennett with very special guest

Antonia Bennett THU, OCT 2 / 7 PM / GrANAdA THEATrE Tickets start at $50 / $25 UCSB students

“The epitome of cool.” Rolling Stone Characterized by his husky, burnished voice and ebullient sense of swing, legendary crooner Tony Bennett is a master whose interpretations have shaped the great American songbook.

SWING KIDS: Ventura’s Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has been championing a mix of jump blues and jazz for more than 20 years.

“F

or years, we just never went off the road,” said Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (BBVD) frontman Scotty Morris of the band’s morethan-two-decade-long history. “So

by Charles Donelan this time out, we handpicked the places we are going to play,” he continued, “and for us, that’s like going on a vacation.” When the band rolls into the Granada on Saturday, October 4, the festive crowd that will greet them is guaranteed to make anyone feel as if they are on holiday.

Initially made famous by the 1996 film Swingers, these hep cats from Ventura have since gone on to worldwide acclaim, both for their highly danceable retro stylings in rhythm and blues and for the curatorial care and musicianship they bring to such projects as How Big Can You Get?, their 2009 album devoted to the music of jazz great and “hi-dee-ho” man Cab Calloway. When I spoke with the hard-working Morris from the band’s Philadelphia tour stop last week, he characterized BBVD’s balance of jump blues and jazz by saying,“We’re not jazz purists, but after 11 albums, anyone who has been paying attention knows that we can play jazz. Our Cab Calloway album brought us a whole new set of fans, but we have kept them happy with what we do on our own.”

When asked what the audience at the Granada should expect this weekend, Morris replied, “Every few years, we overhaul the show. Live is where we testdrive the next thing, but it’s also where we give the people what they want by way of our biggest hits. We’ve gotten pretty good at doing both.”

The band formed in the wake of the 1980s post-punk fascination with real American underground music and staked its claim on a permanent place in Los Angeles music history with a legendary Wednesday-night residency at the Derby in Silverlake. For anyone who was there, the image of that room packed to the rafters with swing-dancing guys and gals dressed in vintage suits and dresses is indelible — one of the most amazing nightlife phenomena of the last few decades. Just as amazing in a different way is the fact that the Daddy’s lineup has remained stable for 21 years, a remarkable achievement for any kind of musical group, never mind one that tours constantly and travels all over the world. Recent BBVD triumphs include a stint on Dancing with the Stars and a pair of successful albums, Rattle Them Bones (2012) and It Feels Like Christmas Time (2013), the band’s second holiday-themed record.

Appraising the band’s current drawing power, Morris reckons that they are among the only acts on the road today that “bring in all four generations. Everyone from the grandparents to the little kids will find something to love at one of our shows. We entertain everybody.” Their broad-based, intergenerational appeal becomes even more interesting when one considers their origins in what Morris refers to as the “punk independence” of Los Angeles in the 1980s.

“Phil Alvin [of the Blasters] really inspired me,” Morris said.“Before I heard the Blasters, I never felt like I belonged to a music scene,” he continued, “but through being exposed to what they and some of the other bands back then were doing with American music, I found my voice.”

Today that voice reigns as one of the most enduring sounds to have come out of the era, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy retains a deep connection to their roots in the independent music world. “Record store people love us,” Morris said, “all our releases come out on vinyl, as well, and we love doing in-stores.”

UP FROM BELOW

The Boxtrolls. Ben Kingsley, Jared Harris, and Nick Frost star in an animated film written by Irena Brignull and Adam Pava, based on the novel Here Be Monsters! by Alan Snow, and directed by Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi.

Reviewed by Kit Steinkellner

f Charles Dickens, Roald Dahl, and Tim Burton all teamed up to make a feature-length, stop-motion animation, the results would probably look a lot like The Boxtrolls. And that’s a compliment of the highest order. Set in the fictional turn-of-the-century European town of Cheesebridge, The Boxtrolls tells the story of a bunch of sweet and curious creatures who wear discarded boxes over their midsections, live in a cavern of industrial wonders below the city’s cobblestone streets, and sneak up to the surface through manhole covers to go digging through trash for troll treasures once all the humans go to sleep.

In this story, one of the treasures they bring home is an infant, whom they name Eggs, after the egg crate the trolls give him to wear as his “box.” Eggs grows up with no idea that he is human, believing himself to be a boxtroll, too.

Unfortunately, Eggs’s disappearance as a child gives villain Archibald Snatcher the perfect excuse to turn the town of Cheesebridge against the benign boxtrolls, convincing citizens that these below-ground creatures prey on humans.

Snatcher strikes a deal with town leader Lord

FUN FOR ALL: The Boxtrolls is a pitch-perfect treat for kids and adults alike.

Portley-Rind: If he exterminates every last boxtroll in town, Portley-Rind will induct Snatcher into “The White Hats,” Cheesebridge’s most elite echelon. When Eggs’s boxtroll guardian, Fish, is abducted by Snatcher and his henchmen, Eggs ventures out into the human world to save the trolls and, over the course of his adventure, uncovers the secrets of his past and the direction of his destiny.

The Boxtrolls is one of those pitch-perfect animated films that fires on all cylinders for its pint-sized audience and works like gangbusters for accompanying adults. The visuals dazzle at every turn, the jokes come fast and furious (and are genuinely funny), and even if the moral of this story (“be yourself”) isn’t exactly groundbreaking, the film still manages to spin off in compelling and complicated directions when it deals with the darker leanings of human nature (cowardice, greed, outright fascism). The Boxtrolls should come with one of those boardgame box stickers because it really is fun for all ■ ages.

WHAT’S THE SKINNY? The Skeleton Twins. Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and Luke Wilson star in a film written by Mark Heyman and Craig Johnson and directed by Johnson.

Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

SLIM PICKINGS: Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader star as suicidal siblings in the lite melodrama The Skeleton Twins.

o, it isn’t the Olsen Family Chronicles, but the press is making us think The Skeleton Twins is an emotional rollercoaster. In reality, it’s actually hard to imagine what people love about it. The performances are good, but isn’t it more than a little patronizing to be surprised that these talented comics could portray marginalized people? Wiig was much more pathetic and funny in Friends with Kids and far more amazing in the under-respected Paul, where she played the repressed daughter of a wacko fundamentalist. And Hader played Andy Warhol with both brio and restraint in Men in Black . Those roles required acting. This film is shtick by comparison, though each has fine moments and mostly in scenes where the confrontations are fraught.

The Skeleton Twins isn’t a dark comedy; it’s a lite melodrama. The film opens with the fraternal twins poised to commit suicide simultaneously, 3,000 miles apart. They haven’t spoken in 10 years, and because Milo (Hader) ends up

in the hospital first, Maggie (Wiig) takes her wayward gay brother home to her burly, sweet husband, Lance (Luke Wilson), to recuperate. As he comes out of his funk, Milo starts reopening wounds. It’s not trite, but it is easy to guess where each scene will conclude and what fresh hell will grow out of any fun these reunited siblings have. Just to be sure we know they are kooky and were once happy, there’s a long lip-synching dance scene.

Twins are great cinema fodder. A clever director would employ mirroring, repetitions, and coincidences to make the creepy charm of being a twin — alone but never really alone — seem real. Director Craig Johnson settles for emotional revenge, which just seems too obvious. This script leaves too much crucial stuff in limbo: What does the title mean? What happened to daddy? Why do goldfish keep getting killed? It’s hard to laugh or cry when the actual ■ story is so thin. october 2, 2014

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19) : As I hike through the wilderness at dusk, the crickets always seem to be humming in the distance. No matter where I go, their sound is farther oďŹ&#x20AC;, never right up close to me. How can that be? Do they move away from me as I approach? I doubt it. I sense no leaping insects in the underbrush. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how this pertains to you: My relationship with the cricketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; song is similar to a certain mystery in your life. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experience that calls to you but forever seems just out of reach. You think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drawing nearer, about to touch it and be in its midst, but it inevitably eludes you. Now hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news: A change is coming for you. It will be like what would happen if I suddenly found myself intimately surrounded by hundreds of chirping crickets.

(June 21 - July 22) : In the wild, very few oysters produce pearls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about one in every 10,000. Most commercial pearls come from farmed oysters whose pearls have been induced by human intervention. As you might expect, the natural jewel is regarded as far more precious. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use these facts as metaphors while we speculate about your fate in the next eight months. I believe you will acquire or generate a beautiful new source of value for yourself. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small chance you will stumble upon a treasure equivalent to the wild pearl. But I suggest you take the more secure route: working hard to create a treasure thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a cultivated pearl.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): When Jimmy Fallon was a senior in high school, he received a weird graduation gift: a troll doll, one of those plastic ďŹ gurines with frizzy, brightly colored hair. Around the same time, his mother urged him to enter an upcoming comedy contest at a nearby club. Jimmy decided that would be fun. He worked up a routine in which he imitated various celebrities auditioning to become a spokesperson for troll dolls. With the doll by his side, he won the contest, launching his career as a comedian. I foresee the possibility of a comparable development in your life: an odd blessing or unexpected gift that inspires you to express one of your talents on a higher level.

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Years ago, you experienced an event that was so overwhelming you could not fully deal with it, let alone understand it. All this time it has been simmering and smoldering in the depths of your unconscious mind, emitting ghostly steam and smoke even as it has remained diďŹ&#x192;cult for you to integrate. But I predict that will change in the coming months. You will ďŹ nally ďŹ nd a way to bring it into your conscious awareness and explore it with courage and grace. Of course it will be scary for you to do so. But I assure you that the fear is a residue from your old confusion, not a sign of real danger. To achieve maximum liberation, begin your quest soon.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) : â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear So-Called Astrologer: Your horoscopes are worse than useless. Mostly they are crammed with philosophical and poetic crap that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to my daily life. Please cut way back on the fancy metaphors. Just let me know if there is money or love or trouble coming my way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like what regular horoscopes say! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Skeptical Scorpio.â&#x20AC;? Dear Skeptical: In my astrological opinion, you and your fellow Scorpios will soon feel the kind of pressure you just directed at me. People will ask you to be diďŹ&#x20AC;erent from what you actually are.

My advice? Do not acquiesce to them.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) : This is prime time to do things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly easy and relaxing, but that on the other hand arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually painful. Examples: Extend peace oďŹ&#x20AC;erings to adversaries. Seek reconciliation with valuable resources from which you have been separated and potential allies from whom you have become alienated.

Try out new games you would eventually like to be good at, but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet. Get a better read on interesting people you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand very well. Catch my drift, Aquarius? For now, at least, leaving your comfort zone is likely to be invigorating, not arduous.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Tomatoes are a staple of Italian cuisine now, but there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any tomatoes in Europe until the 16th century, when Spanish explorers brought them from Central and South America. Likewise, Malaysia has become a major producer of rubber, but it had no rubber trees until seeds were smuggled out of Brazil in the 19th century. And bananas are currently a major crop in Ecuador thanks to 16th-century Portuguese sailors, who transported them from West Africa. I foresee the possibility of comparable cross-fertilizations happening for you in the coming months, Sagittarius. Do you have your eye on any remote resources youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to bring back home?

(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) : Your oracle is built around the epigrams of conceptual artist Jenny Holzer. From her hundreds of pithy quotes, I have selected six that oďŹ&#x20AC;er the exact wisdom you need most right now. Your job is to weave them all together into a symphonic whole. (ď&#x203A;&#x153;)â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial to have an active fantasy life.â&#x20AC;? (ď&#x2DC;ş) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ensure that your life stays in ďŹ&#x201A;ux.â&#x20AC;? (ď&#x2DC;ť) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have every kind of thought, and that is no embarrassment.â&#x20AC;? (ď&#x2DC;ź) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animalism is perfectly healthy.â&#x20AC;? (ď&#x2DC;˝) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding extreme pleasure will make you a better person if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re careful about what thrills you.â&#x20AC;? (6) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Listen when your body talks.â&#x20AC;?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): In three years, you will comprehend truths about yourself and your life that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the capacity to grasp now. By then, past events that have been confusing to you will make sense. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know what their purpose was and why they occurred. Can you wait that long? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather not, I have an idea: Do a meditation in which you visualize yourself as you will be three years from today. Imagine asking your future self to tell you what he or she has discovered. The revelations may take a while to start rolling in, but I predict that a whole series of insights will have arrived by this time next week.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) : The journey that awaits you is succinct but epic. It will last a relatively short time but take months to fully understand. You may feel natural and ordinary as you go through it, even as you are being rather heroic. Prepare as best as you can, but keep in mind that no amount of preparation will get you completely ready for the spontaneous moves youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be called on to perform. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be nervous! I bet you will receive help from an unexpected source. Feelings of dĂŠjĂ vu may crop up and provide a sense of familiarity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though none of what occurs will have any precedents.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22) : In June 2012, a U.S. senator introduced a bill that would require all members of Congress to actually read or listen to a reading of any bill before they voted on it. The proposal has been in limbo ever since, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely it will ever be treated seriously. This is confusing to me. Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be a fundamental requirement that all lawmakers know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the laws they pass? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a similar error, Leo. Understand exactly what you are getting into, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new agreement, an interesting invitation, or a tempting opportunity. Be thoroughly informed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) : Oliver Evans (1755-1819) was a proliďŹ c Virgo inventor who came up with brilliant ideas for steam engines, urban gas lighting, refrigeration, and automated machines. He made a radical prediction: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time will come when people will travel in stages moved by steam engines, almost as fast as birds ďŹ&#x201A;y, 15 or 20 miles an hour.â&#x20AC;?We may be surprised that a visionary innovator like Evans dramatically minimized the futureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possibilities. In the same way, I suspect that later in your life, you might laugh at how much you are underestimating your potentials right now. In telling you this, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping you will stop underestimating.

Wine of the Week Stella Rosso:

Though not a great fit for lovers of dry wine, this semi‑ sweet red wine — best served chilled — is the next white zinfandel, opening up massive new demographics for the wine industry, particularly the urban and minority markets. That’s especially true in Southern California, as this wine — made in the Italian village of Santa Stefano Belbo in Piedmont — is a product of the Riboli family’s San Antonio Winery, a downtown L.A. producer since 1917. When they asked loyal consumers of their Stella Rosa line of moscatos what they wanted, the response was something sweet but red, so the Ribolis and their Italian partners developed this entirely new category of wine. The soaring popularity already triggered a copycat legal case against a corporate winery, and is spinning off an entire series of accompanying bottlings, from drier proseccos to bolder reds to whites and pinks flavored with berry and peach.

T

ri Tip Company is a new restaurant-bar opening Saturday, October 4, at 11 a.m. in Santa Barbara’s waterfront Funk Zone district. The owners, brothers Matt JamesonChrestenson and Ben Chrestenson, wanted to bring something different and new to the area that is getting to be known for great wine, great food, and great fun.

“Tri Tip Company is a place for people to come, sit, and enjoy some traditional and not so traditional barbecue flavors with some very unique crafted elixirs, shots, punches, cures, and tonics for everyone from the non-alcoholic drinker to the most discerning palated cocktail aficionado,” says Jameson-Chrestenson.“The atmosphere is simple, appealing, and classy with bench seating and an open patio.”

The food menu offers a variety of traditional Santa Maria–style and more creative barbecue sandwiches, focusing on tri-tip, chicken, barbecue pork, ribs, and unique side dishes. The drink menu offers unique blends of house-made concoctions of spirited and non-spirited drinks either in barrels that have been aged for months or on draft. Ice selections and fresh botanical garnish will round the drinks off.

Tri Tip Company is located at  State Street. The building has been split into two separate restaurants with Union Ale in the back and Tri Tip in the front on State Street. Tri Tip Company, which will not have TVs in its location, will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner starting at 11 a.m.

The menu includes: BLTrip: tri-tip, bacon, guacamole, mayo, tomato and fresh basil leaf, $11  Philly: thinly sliced tri-tip, bell pepper, onion, pepper jack cheese, $10 Gryk: tri-tip, cucumber garlic tzatziki, tomato, onion, $11 Classic American: tri-tip, cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, $10 Pho ᾽ Di: tri-tip, citrus hoisin, sambal mayo, basil, mint, cilantro, bean sprouts, onion, pho broth, $12 Santa Maria: tri-tip, pico de gallo, smoky BBQ, mayo, $10 Korean Pork Shoulder: house kimchi, chili mayo, cilantro, lime, $11 Deep South: barbecued pork, Carolina mustard sauce, pickles, BBQ onions, $10 Cubano Panini: sliced pork, ham, dijonnaise, garlic pickles, swiss, $12 Chickichetta: grilled chicken breast, caper mayo, chimichurri, $11 Smoked Chicken Salad: chicken, smoked almonds, jalapeños, apples, red onions, arugula, basil mayo, $12

PIZZA HUT COMING TO GOLETA: Pizza Hut’s website now lists jobs available for a new restaurant coming to -A Calle Real, the former home of YoYumYum frozen yogurt. Positions offered include shift manager, team member, delivery driver, general manager, and assistant restaurant manager. This new Pizza Hut location is right down the street from the future Rusty’s Pizza and a few blocks away from Papa John’s. Thanks to reader Cris for the tip!

ROCKET FIZZ: Reader Primetime let me know that a new store named Rocket Fizz, with the tagline “soda pop and candy shop,” is coming to  State Street. iGRILL UPDATE: The now-closed iGrill Korean BBQ

at  State Street has a change of ownership sign out front, indicating that the space is being taken over by the family that owns Nikka Fish Grill and Nikka Market. I don’t know what their plans are for the space.

GRATUITY INCLUDED? A new IRS rule could end,

or at least curtail, the practice. NPR reports that the Internal Revenue Service has begun classifying automatic gratuities as service charges that are taxable as regular wages and subject to payroll tax withholding.

Currently, automatic gratuities are considered tips, and it’s up to the wait staff to report the amount as income.

NPR says that the original rule went into effect in June 2012, but the IRS pushed back enforcement until last January to allow restaurants time to comply. The rule change stipulates that a tip is defined as “something given without compulsion” and that a customer must have an “unrestricted right to determine the amount,” according to the California Restaurant Association’s website.

John Dickson’s reporting can be found every day online at SantaBarbara.com.
