Despite some outright begging, only a select handful of Santa Barbara Independent staffers got to visit Huguette Clark’s Bellosguardo estate for our cover story, namely Columnist Barney Brantingham (pictured left), Executive Arts Editor Charles Donelan (who took this selfie plus one), and the third lucky one, Paul Wellman, our ever-on-duty photography editor. The late-afternoon tour of the house included an electric-cart circuit of the grounds and its ocean view, which all pronounced “breathtaking.” The story starts on page 29.

THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
Ban Fracking. Vote YES on P
Hi, my name is Bob Burgess and I am funding this message about a YES vote for Measure P. As you know the Big Oil Bully has come to Santa Barbara County and is flooding the media markets with millions of dollars — to make profits. It turns out that Santa Barbara County is different. It is said that we are elite environmentalists. Well that is a title I can proudly accept. To battle the Big Oil Bully’s millions of dollars, our weapons are bake sales, beans and from our armory we are using live people, registered voters in Santa Barbara County. Yes, that is you, my neighbors and others like me and we have the chance to be the first in the nation to kick the Big Oil Bully in the butt. The whole nation is watching and waiting to see if our bake sales, beans and live humans can turn back Big Oil. This is a once in a lifetime chance to vote against Big Oil. It is vital for you, your family, friends, loved ones, co-workers, neighbors and all the rest of us elitists to stand up to protect our county’s water and air resources and economy by turning out to vote Yes on Measure P.
Recommends YES – PROP 2:
Rainy Day Fund – State Budget Reserves Prop 2 takes an important step toward fiscal discipline in our state government.
YES – PROP 47:
Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act Prop 47 will ensure that prison spending is focused on violent and serious offenses and will maximize alternatives for non-serious, nonviolent crime.
YES – Measure P 2014:
Ordinance Prohibiting Certain Petroleum Operations Measure P will help protect the county from risks to air and water quality and water supply.
It appears to me that the only winning strategy for the Big Oil Bully is a campaign of Fear Mongering.
No Recommendations On The Other Measures On This Ballot The LWV is neutral on Prop 1. Because League positions do not cover the issues in Propositions 45, 46, and 48, the LWV is taking no stand on these measures.
Pay attention and you will see abundant evidence of this in their ads. Measure P only applies to NEW HIGH INTENSITY oil and gas projects. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO EXISTING PROJECTS. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO CONVENTIONAL OIL AND GAS PROJECTS EVEN IF THEY ARE NEW.
Vote with the League on noVember 4! 965-2422 • www.lwvsantabarbara.org
The list of such clear statements is long and continues to be ignored repeatedly by the Big Oil Bully’s Fear Mongering campaign.
Paid for by The League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara
If Measure P does not apply to any existing projects, why would their property taxes drop significantly the next year? I am so deeply concerned that our county fire fighters and public safety officials cannot figure that out and lend their organizations’ names to such an intellectually bankrupt Fear Mongering campaign. I suggest you make a short term hobby of seeing Big Oil’s ads and see if they have anything besides Fear Mongering as a part of their campaign.
ALL DECIDUOUS
FRUIT TREES
Please clip, copy and distribute this message throughout Santa Barbara County, so like Mother Nature’s law of exponential growth, the number of people seeing this message will grow and grow.

I’ll have another message in next week’s SB Independent, Oct. 30, 2014 about the rogue technology the Big Oil Bully is trying to foist upon the residents of our county. Bob Burgess

State Elections Governor: Jerry Brown
Come on, is there any debate? We don’t agree with Brown on everything, but in the world of Sacramento, he’s distinguished himself as a rare and refreshing grownup. The results speak for themselves. The state is extricating itself from chronic budget-meltdown mode, money is being spent with restraint, and gridlock dysfunction is no longer the only game in town. Sacramento is now addressing real issues, like underfunded schools and overcrowded prisons. Some of that’s because Brown happened to be in the right place at the right time. But more it’s that he was the right person at the right time.

Lieutenant Governor: Gavin Newsom
Newsom, an engaging opportunist, showed both recklessness and courage by opening the door to gay marriage while mayor of San Francisco. As a result, California is much further down the road in pursuit of civil rights for all than it otherwise would have been. For that, he is to be applauded.
U.S. State Representative, 24th District: Lois Capps
Capps has been around long enough to engender grumbling from even her supporters, but really, what’s not to like? She’s a solid, sensible, pro-choice, pro-education environmentalist who can still brag that she was one of the few in D.C. not to sign the blank check giving George W. Bush the ability to wage war against Iraq.
Regional Election
Goleta Water District Board: Meg West
Once upon a time, the Goleta Water District was the hottest ticket in town, and with the drought upon us, it could get that way again. Meg West has long practiced water conservation in her own landscape business and has a thoughtful understanding of the Goleta community.
Regional Bond Measures Measure Q: Yes
Montecito Union School District is asking for a $27 million bond, 71 percent of which will go to deferred maintenance.

Carpinteria Unified School District is asking for a $90 million facilities bond for improvements, including replacing 68 portable classrooms and technology upgrades. They are necessary.

PRESCRIBING CALM: She said Santa Barbara County has plans in place, but Dr. Charity Thoman (above), of County Public Health, criticized the CDC’s handling of Ebola preparedness: “There is a lot of mistrust with the CDC and the general public.” Infectious disease specialist Dr. Alan Sugar (below) said people would be more likely to win the lottery than catch the virus.

The Ebola Scenario Preparing for the Unlikely Event It Lands Here
I
BY LY Z H O F F M A N f you’re freaked out about Ebola coming to Santa Barbara County, place the virus much further down on your worry list than both lightning strikes — which killed 29 people nationwide in 2010 — and the flu, responsible for 50,000 deaths every year. But if you’re still freaked out, area health officials said, agencies across the county are readying for the unlikely possibility that the disease — which has claimed the lives of 4,500-plus people in West Africa and one in the United States — could land here. Contracting the disease requires making direct contact with the bodily fluids of a symptomatic person, a high bar avoided by the live-in relatives of the man who died in Dallas and so far the passengers who flew alongside one of the two infected nurses, stressed Dr. Alan Sugar, an infectious disease specialist at Sansum Clinic. “People need to put everything in perspective,” he said, sighing. “The risk of getting seriously ill and dying is of a greater magnitude for influenza, auto accidents, and cigarette smoking. Why aren’t they getting panicked about all this stuff? This is the stuff that’s going to kill them.” Still, Sansum, Cottage Hospital, and Marian Regional Medical Center — with County Public Health serving as the lead agency — all have plans in place should someone test positive here. County Health Officer Dr. Charity Thoman, who said her department assembled a five-person, all-volunteer “Ebola team” months ago, used a hypothetical scenario of a man who just returned from Liberia and was vomiting at a Santa Barbara–area bus stop to describe how first responders and medical facilities would handle the situation. Fire and ambulance services would arrive first, Dr. Thoman said, adding that Emergency Medical Services personnel are now trained to screen patients for their travel history. They would then call a Public Health official, who 12

could “pull the trigger” for the Ebola team to intervene. A perimeter would be created around the bus stop — possibly with help from law enforcement — and, if the patient were stable enough to wait the 90 minutes it would take, the ambulance would be outfitted with a protective plastic lining before transporting the patient to an area hospital, which would likewise need
an hour’s notice to prepare an isolation unit. At that point, Thoman continued, team members would begin contacting people who may have interacted with the man and would quarantine those people for 28 days. The hospital, she said, would work at replacing the victim’s fluids, as a typical Ebola patient produces up to 12 liters of diarrhea per day. The amount of soiled clothes and sheets presents a “huge issue,” Thoman said, as contaminated medical gear can’t be incinerated in California and would have to be burned in a different state. Public Health has a limited supply of protective body suits and hoods for medical staff — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this week recommended fullbody coverage, in the wake of the two Dallas

nurses getting infected — but acquiring more gear could prove difficult, Thoman said, as the equipment is not only back-ordered but also not budgeted. Thoman — and Sugar, too — didn’t mince words in describing how the Ebola scare in America has highlighted problems with the country’s public health system. They pointed to slashed budgets in the wake of the recession that have weakened the system’s overall infrastructure. Thoman singled out the CDC, saying the organization has “fumbled it over and over” with Ebola, a “problematic” occurrence given the overall system’s reliance on area public health departments being responsible for their own contingency plans. Thoman and her colleagues have been working closely with health officials at UCSB, Santa Barbara City College, and Westmont, should any members of those campus communities contract the virus; none of the colleges reported having students or staff who have traveled to the affected countries since the outbreak. Tracy Lincoln, operations manager for the Santa Barbara Airport, said there isn’t a “big elevated level of concern” among passengers, airlines, or security staff but that the airport is “getting its checklist together.” While stressing the county’s preparedness, Thoman — like County Fire Chief Michael Dyer, who noted the flu and enterovirus, which has been afflicting children across the country, and Santa Barbara City Fire Chief Pat McElroy, who painted hepatitis C and tuberculosis as “far more dangerous for us on a daily basis”— placed more stress on easing people’s panic. “People should not be worried,” she said. “Don’t worry about Ebola — get a flu shot. If there was a real Ebola situation here, trust me, everyone would ■ know.”
news briefs LAW & DISORDER
A 29-year-old alleged Santa Barbara gang member was arrested at a San Diego border crossing on 10/12 on a $1.7 million warrant issued for charges of conspiracy to commit extortion. Edgar Cordova had fled to Mexico after posting bail on other criminal charges but was located with the help of the California Department of Justice and a Mexican police unit. His arrest comes on the heels of the arrests earlier this month of four other reported area gang members also facing charges connected to extortion — known as “collecting taxes” — of county residents on behalf of the Mexican Mafia prison gang. The upcoming sentencing of Julio “Candyman” Diaz — the former Santa Barbara doctor charged with overprescribing narcotics and sedatives to his patients, 11 of whom died of overdoses in a five-year span — will hinge on whether a federal judge allows him to withdraw his guilty pleas, which Diaz’s attorney has indicated he will do, at a hearing in December. Diaz pleaded guilty in January, two years after his arrest. Since pleading, his sentencing has been repeatedly postponed, including when Diaz — currently in federal custody — acquired a new lawyer. His sentence could be as stiff as 200 years in prison and $10 million in fines. Prosecutor Ann Wolf said the case would move to trial if the judge grants Diaz’s request.

With the horrors of Halloween in the raucous streets of Isla Vista just over a week away, UCSB and other agencies are planning to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to control the monstrous annual party. Last year, the Sheriff’s department picked up more than three-quarters of the $380,000 tab, but this year, the UCSB Police Department is planning to contribute just under 50 percent of the total cost — which is expected to clock in at $410,000 — and to borrow about 65 officers from other UC campuses. In the last few years, Halloween has been considered successful by Sheriff’s officials because there were no major incidents (though there were hundreds of arrests and citations). And it has definitely been tame compared to the rioting that plagued Deltopia last spring. But the fact that five sheriff’s deputies have been injured by assaults ranging from kicking to arm twisting in the eight weeks since late August doesn’t bode well for the community recovering from a troubled year. (Last year, there were two assaults in the same eight-week time period.) UCSB has also shelled out a few thousand dollars (from donation funds) for ads appearing on Pandora and area buses; images of unhappy teens dressed up in costumes — with hashtags that read “Not Worth It” and “Keep IV Safe” — spread a clear message: If you break the law, you will suffer the consequences. The efforts also seek to deter “outof-towners” — invited or not — from entering Isla Vista. To that end, California Highway Patrol will set up a DUI checkpoint at the entrance to I.V. on Thursday, October 30, and will add 35 officers to its force, though the agency does not anticipate any additional costs. In the other arm of law enforcement, District Attorney Joyce Dudley secured branding expert Ken Berris — a Santa Barbara resident who has worked on several presidential campaigns — to launch pro bono public service announcements on TV and in newspapers, including in this one. Dudley said she is also having additional prosecutors trained to file cases to get them through the court quicker. In Goleta, the City Council voted two weeks ago to prohibit nonresidents from parking in neighborhoods surrounding Isla Vista from October 31 to November 2, a pilot program — Kelsey Brugger that is estimated to cost a few thousand dollars.

headed the area organization for the last 25 years. Rollings, who started her career with Planned Parenthood 36 years ago, announced her plans to retire this time last year, and her last day will be 11/20; candidates for her place are being interviewed. Her work has included helping establish the political arm of the tri-counties branch in 1991. Rollings — the organization’s Administration Building will be named after her — released a statement on her tenure: “I can’t imagine a more meaningful and fulfilling way to have spent my life.”
COUNTY Descending from space after 674 days in orbit, the U.S. Air Force’s autonomous, reusable space plane — the X-37B — touched down at Vandenberg Air Force Base at 9:24 a.m. on 10/17. “I’m extremely proud of our team for coming together to execute this third safe and successful landing,” said base commander Colonel Keith Balts of the entirely remote-control mission. “Everyone from our on-console space operators to our airfield managers and civil engineers take pride in this unique mission and exemplify excellence during its execution.” The test flight “performs risk reduction, experimentation, and concept of operations development for reusable space vehicle technologies,” Vandenberg officials said. The fourth X-37B mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in 2015.

The Board of Supervisors made a unanimous decision in closed session on Tuesday to not sue the Chumash over the tribe’s resort expansion plans, which include the imminent construction of a 12-story hotel tower. County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni (pictured) — reiterating comments he made earlier this month when a small group of Santa Ynez Valley residents implored the supervisors to look into a lawsuit — said the county, not being party to the tribe’s compact with the state, wouldn’t be successful in litigation. Instead, per Ghizzoni’s recommendation, county officials will pursue talks with the Governor’s Office. Third District Supervisor Doreen Farr said an update on those conversations will come soon. cont’d page 15
BY T Y L E R H AY D E N wo years ago, an angry crowd of Milpas Street neighbors “one step away from pitchforks and torches” descended on a city Planning Commission meeting to complain about Casa Esperanza and the bad behavior of its homeless clients, remembered Commissioner Addison Thompson. But at the biannual review of the shelter’s permit that took place last Thursday, no one showed up to air what had been consistent grievances of trespassing, camping, public intoxication, and other nuisance crimes. Instead, the commissioners heaped praise on Casa leaders for regaining control of their operations and finances after years of acrimony. “This is a tremendous turnaround,” said Thompson, “and I’m very happy to see it.” In his presentation to the commission and in a later interview, interim Casa director Joe Tumbler pointed to a few key changes that set the stage for what he’s called the shelter’s “new lease on life.” It adopted new sobriety rules and eliminated free lunches for nonresidents, moved detox beds off-site, implemented a 100day housing program, created a trash-collecting team, ramped up neighborhood patrol and outreach, laid off two top directors, and started prioritizing services for Santa Barbara residents. The moves refocused energies on clients most serious about making life changes, and they reingratiated the facility with nearby residents and business owners, Tumbler said. They also reduced Casa’s annual spending from a $2.8 million rate to $1.6 million. “We had a bigger heart than our pocketbook,” he said. Tumbler stepped into his director’s role as an unpaid volunteer two months ago. He took over for interim director Bob Bogle, who filled in for embattled director Mike Foley after he was laid off in March. A former vice chair of SunAmerica, Tumbler has been instrumental in balancing Casa’s books. “Numbers are my bag,” he explained. The shelter was saddled with $4.6 million in debt, but a major lender has forgiven $1.1 million of that as of June 30, and in September, the city and county forgave $1 million in mortgage debt, which
was a contractual agreement from the time the Cacique Street building was built 15 years ago. Tumbler said Casa hopes to have the rest paid down in 10 years. After a six-figure loss, the shelter produced a modest but significant $28,000 surplus this fiscal year. They’re not out of the woods, Tumbler went on, noting ongoing fundraising pushes, but are at least in the black. Casa has hired a new permanent director but is holding off on making an official announcement until she can relocate to town. Saying only that she’s “remarkably young and remarkably capable,” Tumbler stated his successor has run facilities more complicated than Casa and imparted valuable ideas even during her interview. Of concerns that Casa will have burned through three leaders in less than a year by the time the new exec starts in November, Tumbler assured that their promised direction remains steady and that “there is not another shoe that is going to drop.” Sharon Byrne with the Milpas Community Association (MCA), which has long toiled to curb neighborhood nuisance behavior associated with Casa Esperanza, agreed the situation is much improved. “Who would have thought that four years ago we would get to this place?” she said. “I’m stunned.” Byrne pointed to the dramatic reduction in calls for police service in the area and credited business owners for stepping up and working well with law enforcement. Officer Keld Hove with the Police Department’s restorative policing detail said Casa’s new sobriety rules allow service providers to use the shelter “to a more successful degree,” and he explained the environment inside has become a “much safer place for the vulnerable and fragile who wouldn’t have been able to make changes in a free-for-all.” He also said though some feared that the new guidelines and the loss of the free lunch program would lead to fresh problems in other areas of town, those concerns do not appear to have been borne out. “I have seen no drawbacks whatsoever,” he said, also complimenting markedly improved relations between the MCA and Casa.“This was a change I didn’t expect to see.” ■

After 20 years of federal protections as an endangered species, the arroyo toad (pictured) — which lives in countless Santa Barbara County creeks — is doing a bit better, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is considering whether to downlist the species to merely “threatened.” That’s because there isn’t much new dam construction (which grossly harmed the species), there are plenty of invasive species removal efforts (from tamarisk to bullfrogs), and both federal and non-federal jurisdictions have enacted management plans for the species in various regions. See regulations.gov to comment by November 17. A smooth transition is expected for Michelle Greene, Goleta’s new city manager, who beat out 69 applicants for the job in a unanimous City Council vote. She’s held the interim position since April, the second-in-command spot since 2013, and worked for the city for a decade. A three-year contract gives Greene $222,500 annually — a bump from her predecessor Dan Singer’s $202,284. Before working for Goleta, she was the city clerk/personnel manager for Grover Beach and the assistant city manager in Escalon.

Six cases of pertussis, or whooping cough, have been diagnosed at The Waldorf School of Santa Barbara. Four cases are in its preschool program, and two are in its grade school. Seventy-two percent of children at the Waldorf preschool program opted out of some or all vaccinations, according to state records. This school year, 31 percent of children at the preschool are not immunized against pertussis, and 16 percent are partially immunized against pertussis, according to the school. There have been 78 cases of pertussis in the county so far this year, which translates to a 17.9 case rate — lower than the statewide rate of 22.9 (per 100,000 population). As of October 7, there have been 8,749 cases reported in California, which is about three times higher than it was in the same time frame last year. County Public Health Director Dr. Takashi Wada said with some concern that the optout rates are getting higher, and some prominent area pediatricians are deciding not to accept children who have not had all of their shots. Public health experts say that the threshold “herd immunity” requires 92 percent of children to be vaccinated. A child can be diagnosed with the disease even if he or she has been immunized. Unless a parent files an exemption form for personal or medical reasons, state law requires children at the pre-K, kindergarten, and 7th grade level to be immunized against a number of infectious diseases including pertussis, hepatitis B, and measles. State law that went into effect this year requires parents be informed about the benefits and risks associated with vaccinations by a physician before submitting this form. Across the country, Waldorf schools tend to have high personal-belief exemption rates. North County schools tend to have lower personal-belief exemption rates while South County has pockets of high opt-out rates. “That’s a concern for us,” Wada added. To promote immunizations, public health officials have launched campaigns, partnered with schools, and publicized info online. Pertussis can be very dangerous, especially for infants and one-year-olds. It is also cyclical, and public health officials see an uptick every three to five years. For instance, four years ago, County Public Health officials saw a rise in cases, 66, and two years ago — Kelsey Brugger the number was down to 11 cases. Last year, there were 28 cases.

BUSINESS Members of the public could soon get their own bite of The Habit, as the restaurant chain last week announced plans to go public under ticker symbol “HABT.” If approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the IPO is expected to yield the Irvine-based company $86.2 million. Company revenue last year was $120 million. The company expanded across four states this summer and anticipates 28 new restaurants in 2015. Brothers Brent and Bruce Reichard, who started working at the Goleta stand as teenagers and then bought it and started the franchise, continue to operate the Santa Barbara locations. In July, Consumer Reports deemed The Habit burgers the best in the country, as did Independent readers in our Best Of county contest.
ELECTION As of the 10/20 deadline, 194,819 people registered to vote in the November 4 election, a figure that County Elections said could jump a bit as some last-minute applications are counted. That number is a slight increase from those signed up to vote in this year’s June primary (193,900) but a decrease from the November 2010 midterm election (198,457). In June, only about 37 percent of voters cast ballots, while November 2010 saw a nearly 68 percent turnout. (The numbers spiked for the November 2012 presidential election, when 203,994 county residents were registered and nearly 81 percent voted.) According to Assemblymember Das Williams, volunteers working in Isla Vista since UCSB started on 10/2 and helped 7,152 students register by the deadline; about 7,800 students registered in the 2010 midterm. As of Monday, County Elections had received 14,939 absentee ballots, or 7.6 percent. ■

Winners, Losers in Gang Injunction NO DOUGH: Tara Haaland-Ford (pictured) worked 400 hours to defeat the gang injunction, but Judge Colleen Sterne ruled she’s not entitled to attorneys’ fees.
S
BY N I C K W E L S H anta Barbara Judge Colleen Sterne denied any attorneys’ fees to the team of lawyers who successfully beat back a four-year effort by the District Attorney and Santa Barbara City Hall to secure a gang injunction in the City of Santa Barbara. Sterne, who ruled against the gang injunction after a month-long trial, said her verdict did not confer a benefit on a large enough class of persons to justify the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party. “The court’s focus was on the community at large, not those who would be subject to the injunction,” Sterne ruled.“While not insignificant, these issues alone are not questions of great societal importance.” Sterne acknowledged the existence of criminal street gangs, but she ruled that their conduct constitutes a public nuisance that could not be adequately remedied via traditional law-enforcement methods. Initially, the prosecution named 30 alleged gang members in the proposed injunction. By the time trial started this spring, that number had been reduced to 11. Of those 11, one was ruled not to be an active gang member any longer.
Attorney William Makler sought to persuade Sterne that the multiple constitutional rights — travel, expression, and assembly — that would have been abridged by anyone named over the life of the injunction, plus their families, benefited. Given that law enforcement acknowledged the injunction would be used on other known gang members, Makler argued this number was far greater than 11 or 30 and could easily have exceeded 100. Had he, Tara Haaland-Ford, Steve Dunkle, James Crowder, and Neil Levinson not intervened and worked on behalf of clients without the resources to otherwise afford attorneys, Makler argued, the injunction would have not been opposed. Attorneys’ fees are awarded so that private attorneys have incentive to take cases of significant public controversy and benefit. Makler intimated he was considering an appeal. Tom Shapiro, who argued for the injunction on behalf of City Hall, countered that Sterne’s ruling did not result in the preservation of any important public rights. “Simply put,” Shapiro argued, “there is no right to create or maintain ■ a nuisance.”

ith Santa Barbara experiencing not just backbreaking drought but record-setting temperatures, county fire officials are putting residents on notice that this year’s high fire season is far from over. Sundowner winds typically flare up at this time of year, scouring Santa Barbara’s especially hot and dry backcountry. Water levels at Lake Cachuma — the major source for 150,000 South Coast residents — is down to about one-third. The City of Santa Barbara is hoping to entice water customers to begin sprouting yard signs proclaiming, “Gold Is the New Green,” where their lawns once were. Other locales have used “Brown Is the New Green,” but Madeleine Ward, the city’s new water conservation czar, said “gold” had a “nicer, friendlier spin to it.” In the meantime, she said, the city’s $1,000 rebate program to persuade customers to shift from lawns to drought-tolerant landscaping has seen a four-fold increase in rebate preinspections from the previous year, jumping from 122 this time last year to 504.
Since January, Ward said, her department has received 889 complaints from residents about violating Stage II drought admonitions against daytime irrigation. At this point, Ward said, no fines have been imposed. “We have found that education and one-on-one contact with people have been very effective.” For Montecito, however, even conservation rates in excess of 45 percent aren’t enough. Next Wednesday, the Montecito Water District will hold its first informational hearing on installing a desalination plant of its own in the waters off its coast. Although the cost involved will be far in excess of the $32 million it will cost the City of Santa Barbara to reactivate its long-mothballed desal plant, public interest in such a plant is high in Montecito, which has no groundwater basin to speak of, a tiny dam, and no state water upon which it can rely. The report should also outline the significant permitting and environmental hurdles such a plant would inevitably ■ encounter, as well.

WHEEL DEAL: Tikes, trikes, and bikes thronged Cabrillo Boulevard during last year’s Open Streets celebration. Organizers have upped the ante for this Saturday’s car-free extravaganza.
Bike Hoedown, Not Throwdown Good News for Two-Wheelers?
S
BY N I C K W E L S H anta Barbara City Councilmember Frank Hotchkiss has never been shy about his skepticism that bicycles can ever play more than a marginal role in getting commuters to and from their jobs. So when Hotchkiss teamed up with fellow car advocate Councilmember Dale Francisco to discuss his own unofficial survey results on bicycles and cars this Tuesday, members of Santa Barbara’s Bicycle Coalition and Community Environmental Council showed up, expecting the worst and ready to do battle. Instead, they discovered their longtime adversary sounded very much like he’d taken a deep drink of their very own Kool-Aid and was asking for seconds. More people would ride bikes, Hotchkiss said, if they felt safer on city streets. And they’d feel safer, he said, if there were greater separation between cars and bikes. Hotchkiss showed slides of various ways different cities throughout the country accomplished this separation. In some cities, there are physical barriers; in others, bike lanes are elevated a few inches higher than the roads designated for motorized vehicles. Earlier this year, Hotchkiss had written an op-ed that appeared in most area media outlets, expressing concern that city traffic planners were eager to cannibalize on-street parking to create new bike lanes as part of the new Bicycle Master Plan that City Hall has in the hopper. In that piece, Hotchkiss stated cyclists made up only 3.5 percent of all vehicular traffic, describing much of that as recreational. Hotchkiss also asked readers to send in their thoughts, and more than 200 did. Of those, 30 said they wanted bikes and cars to be treated equally, 55 supported converting on-street parking into new bike lanes, and 145 said they opposed any such conversion. Ed France of the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition pointed out that the numbers cited by Hotchkiss were 10 years old and inaccurate. For the last four years, he said the Census has reported that 6-7 percent of all vehicular traffic within city limits is made up people riding their bikes to and from their job sites. That num-
ber, he stressed, did not include all the recreational riders. Despite these differences, France expressed both relief and appreciation that Hotchkiss took the initiative to launch a genuine dialogue over what could easily become an intractable debate between warring factions. Many of the solutions Hotchkiss cited in the slideshow he presented are ideas that France and other bicycle advocates have long embraced. In an interview, France noted that Santa Barbara is the third most dangerous city in California for cyclists based on the high number of car-bike collisions. “That’s because we have so many cyclists but so little infrastructure,” he said. Underscoring all this is the yearlong series of community workshops and stakeholder meetings City Hall hopes to sponsor prior to rewriting the city’s Bicycle Master Plan. City traffic planner Rob Dayton had warned several months ago that “all the low-lying fruit had already been picked” and nothing but tough decisions lay before them. Since that time, initial efforts to solicit bids from consultants specializing in public outreach failed to bear results, and another request for proposals had to be sent out for a job budgeted to cost $200,000. Dale Francisco expressed concern Tuesday that the results of such outreach efforts would be both skewed and predictable. He said if the council placed a premium on rock climbing and then held a similar outreach effort, the meetings would be dominated by rock climbers. “It would be like the tail wagging the dog,” he said. He then added to the bike advocates in attendance,“I’m not calling you tails.” Tuesday’s oddly uncontentious deliberations took place three days before this Saturday’s second annual Open Streets celebration — a Santa Barbara riff on Los Angeles’ CicLAvia bipedal celebrations — in which a 2.2-mile stretch of Cabrillo Boulevard will be declared off-limits to cars. In their place, event organizers are hoping to draw even more than the 10,000 who participated in last year’s, providing more organized events — music, dance, yoga, basketball, skateboarding, a 5K run through the zoo, lots of cycling, and food ■ booths.

Confl ict of Interest? Strange Bedfellows Have Emerged in Freeway-Widening Debate
BY N I C K W E L S H t was not merely a case of politically strange bedfellows hooking up; the new couplings — emerging from the persistent debate surrounding plans to widen Highway — qualify as downright kinky. Improbably teaming up on one side was Sara Miller McCune — outspoken lefty-liberal publisher and behind-the-scenes political potentate — and Andy Caldwell, the right-wing mouth forever roaring on behalf of conservative watchdog group The Coalition of Labor, Agriculture & Business (COLAB). And if you include the conservative outrage expressed by Joe Armendariz with the Santa Barbara County Taxpayers Association, it could even be considered a ménage à trois. The target of their combined wrath last Thursday was Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider, who they demanded should resign from the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) because of a purported conflict of interest. Not only has Schneider consistently opposed the freewaywidening plans that the SBCAG board voted to support, but she also recently led an unsuccessful effort to have City Hall file a lawsuit challenging the adequacy of the project’s environmental review. After Schneider’s efforts failed, she coauthored an op-ed announcing her support for a lawsuit filed on similar grounds two weeks ago. Coming to the aid of Schneider — at one time the darling of Santa Barbara’s moderate, feministleaning, lefty-lib machine — was none other than Supervisor Peter Adam, the most bombastically outspoken conservative elected to public office in Santa Barbara County in the past 20 years. Adam, it should be noted, cast the only other vote against the freeway-widening project in May, and he has been the focus of conflict-of-interest objections similar to the ones filed against Schneider. Although the melodrama content of Thursday’s throwdown was high, the legal issues were so sufficiently narrow that the outcome was all but preordained. At issue was whether Schneider could participate in closed-session deliberations to discuss how SBCAG should respond to the lawsuit. Fellow boardmembers Salud Carbajal, Steve Lavagnino, and Janet Wolf all expressed reservations about having Schneider in the same room as they discussed the matter. But because Schneider has no material interest in the outcome of the lawsuit, nor is she a party to it, assistant county counsel William Dillon argued quietly and emphatically that no conflict of interest existed and that her freespeech rights should be considered paramount. Lavagnino, Carbajal, and Wolf — all strong supporters of the freeway-widening plans — suggested Schneider recuse herself anyway. Schneider declined. She insisted the comments she made in the op-ed are consistent with what she’s been saying about Caltrans’s freeway-widening proposal for the past two years and in no way prejudiced what she might say or do in closed session. On the procedural merits, Dillon’s argument prevailed. “This is basically a matter of free speech,” he said. “You don’t lose your right to free speech if you happen to be a member of the minority.” The broader question of what damage Schneider may have inflicted on herself and her cause has
yet to be seen. That McCune would send a delegate to the meeting to read a scathing letter denouncing Schneider suggests the fence-mending between the two would be a major construction project. McCune has supported Schneider in the past. Given the considerable money she commands and her role in a wide array of civic ventures, McCune’s alienation from Schneider could have large implications for Schneider’s plans for future office when she’s termed out as mayor three years hence. In fact, there are unconfirmed rumors circulating that McCune is considering a recall campaign against Schneider.
in the EIR have been consistently echoed by former city administrator Jim Armstrong and also by every member of the city’s Planning Commission. They all insisted the Caltrans project should have been amended to include a roundabout at Olive Mill Road and that the Union Pacific Railroad bridge by the Cabrillo Boulevard bird refuge be widened. More centrally, however, they objected that the environmental document failed to adequately acknowledge the additional traffic jams that Caltrans admitted the freeway widening would create.“We were told all along that Caltrans would rather be sued than recirculate the docu-
could experience divided loyalties because he worked both for SBCAG and served on the City Council. As a result of this advice, Hart was forced to recuse himself from any council participation on highway-widening matters. Schneider’s critics contend that it’s hypocritical for the mayor not to recuse herself for the same reason. But she insisted her circumstances are qualitatively different from Hart’s. Unlike Hart, she said, she doesn’t serve two masters, only one. Based on Thursday’s debate, it remains uncertain how persuasive such arguments will be. COLAB’s Andy Caldwell expressed outrage that Schneider would violate a deal laboriously hammered out between North County and South County interests. The north, explained Caldwell, agreed to hold its collective nose and support a deal that included funding for expanded rail service, even though they believed the transit component was at best a utopian fantasy of alternativetransit advocates. If Schneider wanted to turn her back on the deal, Caldwell argued, SBCAG should call her bluff by disavowing its commitment to rail transport. On free-speech principles, Supervisor Adam thoroughly had Schneider’s back. Elected officials, he said, were elected to represent the people who put them in office.“If we don’t have debate,” he cautioned,“we’re not doing our job.” But Adam’s support proved to be a double-edged sword. He explained that he, too, voted against the freewaywidening plan because it required the expenditure of $170 million in gas taxes that would otherwise have gone to road repair and infrastructure maintenance, issues close to Adam’s heart. He expressed interest in Caldwell’s suggestion that “the lane and a train agreement” be revisited. Increasingly, there’s been murmuring that the commuter-train component of the spending deal is untenable because it relies on cooperation from Union Pacific, which owns the tracks. According to Supervisor Carbajal, Union Pacific has proved to be an exceptionally difficult dance partner and that negotiations with the company could best be described as “three steps forward and four steps back.” But at this point, Carbajal said, it appears there’s reason for optimism that Union Pacific might be persuaded to change the Amtrak arrival and departure schedules so that they coincided with the work schedules of the thousands of commuters making the daily trek from Ventura to Santa Barbara. Throughout all the simmering insider-baseball melodrama, Hart has insisted Schneider would be better served by working collaboratively with her SBCAG colleagues to pursue the Union Pacific bridge widening and the Olive Mill roundabout. By pursuing litigation — and then supporting it as she has — it’s been suggested that Schneider is biting the hands that could feed her. She, in her op-ed, charged that she’s been subjected to notso-veiled threats for pursuing what she deems the city’s best interests. Given the seismic impact of McCune’s letter, it’s questionable whether it’s possible for she and Schneider to kiss and make up. Schneider said she saw McCune briefly at a recent fundraising event. “She told me, ‘I’m mad at you,’” said Schneider. “I said,‘Let’s talk about that.’ And since then, she’s left town.” ■ PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTOS

AT ODDS: Mayor Helene Schneider (left) and political heavyweight Sara Miller McCune (right) have long been fellow travelers but came to a confrontational parting of the ways over plans to widen Highway 101.
In a letter read by actor Bobby Lesser — spouse of nationally renowned journalist Ann Louise Bardach, herself a vocal supporter of the freeway-widening project — McCune expressed “dismay and outrage” that Schneider would oppose a project endorsed in 2008 by 79 percent of the electorate and again this May by 11 members of the SBCAG board. “We do not live in a dictatorship, nor in an oligarchy,” she scolded Schneider. McCune described the mayor’s support of the lawsuit as a “jaw-dropping solicitation directly at odds with the overwhelming number of voters and their elected representatives in the county.” By so doing, McCune charged, Schneider was putting at risk $450 million in funding for a project that will relieve the daily misery of gridlock for tens of thousands of motorists. In an interview after the meeting, Schneider rejected as “ridiculous” the notion that she’s jeopardizing $450 million. “That’s simply not true,” the mayor asserted. She said 79 percent of the voters approved a 2008 bond measure that set aside $140 million to underwrite the cost of widening the freeway from Milpas Street to Mussel Shoals. In addition, she said, another $170 million in gas taxes was set aside by SBCAG that would otherwise have gone to South Coast road repairs and infrastructure maintenance. The rest of the money needed to complete the project has not been identified or secured. “It doesn’t exist,” she said. “I’m not against freeway widening. I’m for it. But I want it to be the best project it can be,” she insisted. By making sure the environmental review document is as accurate as possible, Schneider said, she’s attempting to do just that. It’s worth noting that many of the arguments Schneider is making about alleged deficiencies
ment to make it better,” Schneider said. “They’ve been sued. They could have avoided this.” Schneider’s posture with regard to Highway has been seriously clouded by the role played by her longtime campaign manager and political confidant, Jeremy Lindaman. Up through this January, Lindaman also worked as a paid consultant for Common Sense , a group of Montecitans insistent upon keeping Montecito’s existing left-lane on-ramps and off-ramps. When Schneider showed up in Sacramento last year to threaten the coastal development permit Caltrans will ultimately need from City Hall, she flew up with a contingent of Common Sense activists. Ironically, it was Schneider and Lindaman who urged David Landecker into last year’s City Council race because, they claimed, then-candidate Gregg Hart had a fatal conflict of interest. Hart, who works by day as a political strategist and spokesperson for SBCAG, has been an energetic supporter of the freeway widening as proposed. He’s also been critical of what he’s termed Schneider’s obstructionism. Hart prevailed in that election despite Schneider and Lindaman’s strong support for his opponent. Throughout the campaign, Schneider repeatedly objected that Hart should be precluded from participating in the City Council’s key decisions involving Highway because as an SBCAG employee, his paid job was to secure approval for the freeway widening. At the time, Hart took exception, citing legal advice from then–city attorney Steve Wiley that his employment with SBCAG did not technically qualify as a conflict of interest. Wiley has since been replaced by Ariel Calonne, who advised Hart’s conduct was also bound by a common-law interpretation of conflict of interest. In that, Hart

Have You Kicked Your Inner Poodle Today?
PEED OFF: I woke up this morning wanting very
much to smash something. Last night was the same, only more so. Perhaps like Bruce Banner, I’d been exposed to incidental gamma radiation that left me transformed into the Incredible Hulk. Sadly, I would discover, I’d morphed into the human manifestation of irritable bowel syndrome. Violently opposed to any form of self-examination, I sought external forces to blame. Public Enemy Number One on my scapegoat list is Measure P, the countywide ballot measure that will ban fracking, cyclic steam injection, and a whole host of other high-energy extraction techniques. The debate over Measure P calls to mind two books that I loved way back in the day. The first is the Ross Thomas caper thriller The Fools in Town Are on Our Side. The other is Shoot Low, They Might Be Crawling. In this context, the “fools” are the heedless do-gooders who hatched Measure P in the first place. Their tactical recklessness in pursuit of a ban on fracking — a good idea — and other high-energy oil extraction techniques — definitely cause for serious concern — calls to mind a stampede of lemmings leaping off the nearest cliff. This anger, however justified, needs to be balanced against the chronically criminal behavior of the oil industry here in Santa Barbara County. Perhaps the $7.6 million and mounting advertising jihad unleased by the Oil Industry is the gamma radiation triggering my unsettled condition.
All this calls to mind perhaps the central global policy question of our time: Is the enemy of your enemy your friend? Let’s first dispense with the Water Guardians, midwives of Measure P. In their zeal to draw a bold line in the sand against Climate Change — who can argue with that? — they concocted Measure P. Against the vehement advice of every environmental activist within 250 miles, the Guardians collected 16,000 signatures in amazingly short order to qualify P for the November’s ballot. Most people thought they were signing an anti-fracking initiative. Never mind that there’s no fracking now taking place in Santa Barbara. Or that the county supes already passed an ordinance — not perfect, but okay — to control fracking. My real beef, however, has always been tactical. Why would anyone with the sense God gave a jackass put such an initiative on the 2014 ballot? This year’s election promises a record low voter turnout. Democratic strategists are freaking out for good reason. Young women, blacks, and Latinos are threatening to stay away from the polls in droves. If ever there was a time not to declare war against Big Oil, 2014 was it. Wait until the presidential election of 2016, the Water Guardians were repeatedly urged. That’s when Democratic turnout could trump Big Oil’s megabucks. But the Water Guardians, intoxicated by a cosmic sense of urgency, would not let such parochial details get in the way. Without even a campaign manager, they marched blithely into battle. As infuriating as the Guardians are, the Oil
Industry is clearly worse. When the dust settles, $10 million will have been spent spreading the Big Lie that Measure P will forever shut down all oil exploration and extraction in Santa Barbara County. Just not true. If the price of oil justifies the investment, the industry will find a way no matter how many hunka munka firefighters say otherwise. Subscribing as I do to the “distrust but verify” school of history, I find it useful to remember how Unocal president Fred Hartley famously opined in the aftermath of Santa Barbara’s infamous Oil Spill of 1969, “I am amazed at the publicity for the loss of a few birds.” Unocal sprang out of the Orcutt oil patch, qualifying Hartley, I suppose, as one of our neighbors who we are told would never allow such things to happen. Yet somehow they do. The 1969 spill — ancient history to some — was the product of gross negligence in the first degree. It was not an “Act of God” or “Shit Happening.” In flagrant, cost-cutting defiance of emerging industry standards, Unocal left all but 350 feet of the 3,500-foot-deep well shaft uncovered in protective concrete casing. That deliberate decision was directly responsible for the 1969 blowout. That’s why Unocal settled the day the case was scheduled to go to trial with Attorney Barry Cappello for $9 million, a huge amount in those times. Lesser known is the 40-year underground spill that Unocal knew about and covered up that released as much as 20 million gallons of highly toxic oil-thinning chemicals, known as diluents, at its Guadalupe operations. Over the
years, 17 toxic plumes migrated hither, thither, and yon offsite, with at least one making its way to the Santa Maria River and the Pacific Ocean. Over a four-year period, anywhere from 55-90 barrels a day leaked underground. Criminal charges were filed, search warrants issued, records seized. Although charges were dropped, Unocal agreed to pay $65 million in fines. The once sweet town of Avila Beach was razed and rebuilt. And 800,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil, 45,000 dump trucks’ worth, had to be hauled off and dumped — insanely — in a landfill located on the banks of the Santa Maria River. There, underground water levels rise to such heights that they are said to “tea-bag” with landfill contents, raising uncomfortable waterquality questions that the Grand Jury assures us we should not be troubled by. Lastly, I mention Greka, another of our North County “neighbors” whose hostility to environmental safeguard was so thoroughly documented the company was forced to change its name. In a 10-year period, county hazardous-material teams were called out to various Greka operations no less than 400 times. Greka’s cleanup and compliance efforts were marked by such chronic bad faith that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was forced to take over cleanup operations. One EPA superfund official noted at the time, “This is the worst oil company I’ve ever seen.” Is the enemy of your enemy your friend? I have no friends. Maybe that’s why I want to smash things. — Nick Welsh

y property-tax bill shows that I pay $78/year for an existing “SBCC Bond 2008.” We voted for that one. The additional bond issue, Measure S, would raise our SBCC Bond taxes to $230/year. Capital projects, however, were not chosen until after the dollar amount of the new bond measure was drafted. This sequence is not needs-based. Most of us, including government entities, prioritize what needs doing and then quantify. Should SBCC be exempt from such rudiments of good planning? Would it bode well for completion? Staying within budget? Measure S is not ready for prime time. — Donna Lewis, S.B.

Shirley and all of their children rolled up their sleeves and made it a huge part of their family. To this day you can’t mention Bike N Hike without striking a great memory of an era with anyone that grew up in Montecito between the s and s! It was an icon in the community. People grew up there. Bill was known as a kind and generous man. Bill never forgot community. Coast Village was quite different in the early s. He bought meals for many of the homeless, fixerd bikes for free or gave rides to people in need of someplace they needed to be. He started the original Santa Barbara Bicycle Club, The Coast Village Association, Montecito Days and later began and presided as president of the Montecito Rotary Club, which helped out the Friendship Center for aging adults, which his mother Katherine attended. The s brought illness to his wife, Shirley that led Bill to search for an answer to help her survive a rare liver disease. He set an example for his family of what going the distance for someone you love really is all about. All of Bill’s tireless efforts blessed Shirley and the family with another years together. He and Shirley enjoyed trips and seeing the growth of grandchildren Ian, Lauren and Weston. After Shirley’s passing in , dementia caught up with him among other things that slowed him down. He always surprised us with a great attitude and a good sense of humor. He loved all of his family and all the great people that assisted and helped him live happily over these past years. His smiles and “good wishes” will be missed but never forgotten. A private celebration of his life will be held Saturday /. Any memories or thoughts you would like passed on we would love to receive. You can email to moceankayak@earthlink.net. Any gifts may be made in his memory to Buena Vista Hospice Care.

William K. Olson, better known as Bill or WKO, passed away peacefully on September , , at years of age. Born July , , in Great Falls, Montana, to Katherine and Erie Olson. He and his younger brother Ed grew up in Montana loving to fish and be outdoors, helping their father in his diner and café. He earned a degree at Montana State University and served in the Navy during the Korean War. Soon after, he moved to California where he met Shirley Simon, whom he married and raised his family with over the next years. They had children: Laura Lynn, Mark and Teresa. The s arrived, and he moved the family to Santa Barbara from Huntington Beach. This brought the Olson clan together with his Mother, Brother Ed and his family. Looking for something to support his family during the era of downsizing and the gas crisis, he bought into Roy’s Family Bike Shop with his neighbor, Roy Simon. Building on his interest of the outdoors and an early view toward environmentalism, this became Bike N Hike on Coast Village Rd. in Montecito. Bill, 26

On September , , just weeks shy of his th birthday, Samuel Sullivan Osterhage passed away in Los Angeles after a long and courageous battle with cardiomyopathy. Sam was born October , . Sam had tremendous spirit and drive. Supported by his family, loved ones, and friends, Sam fought valiantly over the past year. Through humor, strength of character and a can-do attitude, Sam rallied to beat numerous medical odds before finally succumbing to complications of his condition. Always one to push himself, Sam was a GATE student at Washington Elementary school, La Colina Jr. High School and Dos Pueblos High School. Even when Sam’s health challenges prevented him from continuing at DPHS, he began independent study through Alta Vista High School. Sam was very active in the community. He had a passion for swimming and water polo. He excelled on the YMCA swim team, in Jr. Life Guards, and on both his Club and DPHS water polo teams. Sam’s other passion was music and his guitars. He spent much of his time at the local Rockshop Academy. He was actively involved in the local program for aspiring musicians. Sam was elected to the Academy’s Youth Advisory Board and wrote and received a grant from Generations United for a project in which young people would play music with senior citizens. Sam was larger than life and embodied the definition of zest and exuberance. To meet him was to love him instantly and become fast friends.
october 23, 2014
If a person’s life is gauged on how many friends he had, Sam led a full and wonderfully rich life. The community rallies around Sam creating Team SamO. SamO is a favorite nickname. Sam is survived by his biggest fan, his -yearold brother, Jesse Osterhage, his parents Judy Sullivan Osterhage and Steve Osterhage, and many cousins, aunts and uncles. Sam joins family, his deceased aunts Noreen Hays, Vicki Mayer, and Mary Sullivan, and grandparents Florence Osterhage, Peg and John Sullivan, in heaven, where we know he is playing his music and bringing laughter and love to all. Thank you Sammy for your laughter, your music, your smiles, and your hugs. We will always remember and love you.

Inside Bellosguardo
Exclusive Look Inside Huguette Clark’s East Beach Estate
photos by Paul Wellman
Upon being offered the first chance of any publication in the world to explore the inside of the late heiress Huguette Clark’s mysterious Bellosguardo estate for the first time in at least a half-century, we jumped at the opportunity, despite a few curious strings attached (like not immediately releasing it on independent.com). One illuminating three-hour tour led by Mayor Helene Schneider later, we present this package of Paul Wellman’s photography, Barney Brantingham’s walking tour, and Charles Donelan’s insightful analysis of what challenges the Bellosguardo Foundation’s newly announced board of trustees will face in making this estate a landmark fit for Santa Barbara.
y HANDCRAFTED, THEN CRATED: Bellosguardo’s intricately carved paneled rooms (pictured above) were removed from the William Andrews Clark mansion on Fifth Avenue and 77th Street and shipped to Santa Barbara after that house was demolished in 1925.
What Will Become of Bellosguardo?

ANALYSIS
by Charles Donelan
ayor Helene Schneider greeted us at the front gate, which is only a few steps from the humble path leading to the volleyball courts on East Beach, and just like that we were inside, privileged early visitors to Santa Barbara’s mosttalked-about long-term vacancy: Huguette Clark’s Bellosguardo. The house, a formidable U-shaped structure, sits atop the bluff facing west; the view from its pebbled stone mosaic parking area offers an incredible panorama of the city. Our sneak preview was timed with the announcement of the Bellosguardo Foundation’s board of trustees, the 19 people chosen by the mayor at the request of the New York State Attorney General’s office, which is closing the estate of Clark, who died at age 104 in 2011. Headed by television producer Dick Wolf, the group will supervise the transfer of the property — along with the proceeds from an estate auction and a substantial collection of art, furniture, and valuable dolls — to a charitable foundation formed
at a bequest of Huguette Clark, who wished via her will “to foster and promote the arts.” Given the unusual bequest, and the colorful history of both Huguette and her father, former Montana senator and “Copper King” William Andrews Clark, this project will require bold thinking on the part of Wolf and his team. While several appealing components are already in place, including the spectacular, one-of-a-kind location, the high degree of public curiosity, and some important works of art, key questions about the future of Bellosguardo will have to be answered if adequate funds are to be raised to support the operation. Touring the property in the company of Mayor Schneider, it was easy to feel her excitement about the potential of Bellosguardo. Looking more closely at both the property and its history, it was a little harder to see exactly how this project will coalesce into something that’s both historically plausible and productive of coherent public benefit. october 23, 2014

Mission Quest
The board of trustees thus faces a challenge in defining the mission of this new public institution. When asked if the estate could be understood and presented as a symbol of Santa Barbara, Mayor Schneider hesitated before offering the observation that Bellosguardo “could only happen here.” She added that the difficult task of raising enough money to bring it up to code and provide public access was also something that “could only happen here,” presumably because of
cover story the extraordinary resources and generosity of our community. The first observation is belied by the house itself. Based strictly on its style and content, this mansion could have happened anywhere that late-19th-century American fortunes were displayed, from Newport, Rhode Island, to Asheville, North Carolina. As such, Bellosguardo stands as an elegant but not particularly chic emblem of late-19th-century American identity in crisis. As the historical benefactor of a 21st-century nonprofit, William Andrews Clark has at least three conspicuous strikes against him. He might be forgiven in a contemporary context for apparently never marrying Anna La Chapelle, but the circumstances of his “rescue” of her from out of the Butte red-light district when she was a 15-year-old girl and he was in his late fifties are somewhat harder to reconcile. Nevertheless, this minor indiscretion pales in comparison to Senator Clark’s twin achievements in politics and industry. Many historians consider his campaigns for the senate to have triggered the 17th Amendment, which took the power of electing United States senators out of the hands of state legislators, after Clark was reputed to have bought every vote in not one but two Montana senatorial elections. Even this would not make Clark unusual in a period, the Gilded Age, defined by such colorful behavior. What does continue to stand out, and to distinguish Clark as an extraordinary American entrepreneur, is the literally incalculable damage his businesses did to the environment. Butte is home to the Berkeley Pit, the country’s largest Superfund site and a deadly pool of toxic waste that still threatens to contaminate groundwater for hundreds of miles around the old copper mines. What kind of museum would be appropriate to memorialize such achievements? Dick Wolf, with his commitment to the environment, extensive experience imagining grand narratives that end with justice being served, and familiarity with the seamy underbelly of New York City, might be just the man to take up this story, which continues to be “ripped from the headlines,” and give it a happy ending. ■

by Barney Brantingham
here’s nothing remotely like it anywhere else in Santa Barbara:
Huguette Clark’s Bellosguardo mansion sits serenely on an East Beach hilltop, looking just the way it did the day the copper heiress walked out the door forever, six decades ago. Since moving here in 1960, I’d often wondered what lay behind those iron gates on East Cabrillo Boulevard, guarding a lofty mansion so mysterious in juxtaposition to frolicking sunbathers on the sand 60 feet below. Since Huguette and her mother, Anna, decamped from their summer getaway to New York in the early 1950s, few people have been allowed inside. But last Friday, Mayor Helene Schneider gave The Santa Barbara Independent an exclusive tour of the two-story, 27-room home looking out on the Pacific Ocean on one side and city and mountains on the other. Coming up the long, curved driveway, you see Bellosguardo, bright against the sky and clad in light Indiana limestone, dominating a 23.5-acre hilltop. Tall cypresses ring the property, along with lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit trees. Walking in, you notice that, if covers were whipped off the furniture and the rolled-up carpets unfurled, the place would be ready for a party. Before leaving, Clark ordered that her beloved home be kept in “first-class condition” and in “as original condition as possible.” The lights work, but the aged plumbing operates on a septic system and isn’t used. There’s no indoor sprinkler system. Lawns are drought brown.

to many objects in the house, such as this light fixture. The painting of General John J. Pershing was done by Tade Styka, a well-known portrait artist and one of Huguette Clark’s closest friends.
cover story In the first-floor music room, you almost expect to come upon Anna strumming the gold, custom-made Paris harp that still stands in the huge room and Huguette playing one of her Stradivarius violins. There are two Steinway grand pianos. Anna died in 1963. Although Huguette’s will called for Bellosguardo (“beautiful lookout”) to be devoted to fostering and promoting the arts, her extensive collection of rare paintings remained in her New York City apartment and are being sold off to settle the highly contested $300 million estate. Those left on Bellosguardo’s walls are mostly of Huguette, her older sister Andrée, and their father, copper magnate Senator William Clark. After Andrée died at 16 of spinal meningitis, Huguette donated $50,000 to the city in 1928 to create the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge across East Cabrillo Boulevard as a memorial. In the library, books lining the shelves range from I Was Hitler’s Doctor to French author Voltaire. The white marble fireplace is exquisitely carved, as is the knotty pine wall paneling. A large portrait of Andrée hangs over the mantel, lighted by a huge crystal chandelier. Judging from the paneling in many rooms, it must have taken a small army of craftsmen to create the elegant carvings. The home is comfortable looking but by no means ornate or jammed with furniture. Behind closed doors in the 1904 carriage house, the 1933 Cadillac limo and 1933 Chrysler convertible, apparently not driven for decades, await their fate. Oklahoma oilman William Miller Graham and his wife, Lee, built the first home here, a 25,000-square-foot Italianate villa in 1903. After the Grahams’ divorce, Senator Clark paid Lee $300,000 in 1923. After Clark died in 1925, the year that an earthquake damaged the place, Anna wanted it replaced with a strongly built home with a French-influenced design. She had the place razed in the mid-1930s and paid Santa Barbara architect Reginald Johnson $1 million Depression dollars for a new summer home. Bellosguardo is in city limits but not, as some assume, a city-owned property. What will become of it largely depends on how much money is left after the IRS decides whether to waive $18 million in tax penalties and on decisions by a 19-member board of directors whose names were released this week by Mayor Schneider. (See sidebar of names.) But until the estate is settled in about a year, Bellosguardo will remain pretty much as is, according to Schneider. Resident estate manager John Douglas oversees the property. Since the city has placed the property in historic landmark status, the exterior must remain the same. There cannot be Clark Condos. (Thanks to research by Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell Jr., authors of the book Empty Mansions.) ■

We’re talking a police lineup. Because if you break the law, you will be arrested. We’ve added over 250 peace officers, added thousands of cameras with the help of students, and brightened everyone’s night with new street lights to help protect you. But it’s up to you to behave like the adult you want to become. An arrest or a DUI can jeopardize your dreams and ruin your future. You may be fined or thrown out of school.

Nonprofit
5K for Abuse Awareness
For the past several years, Goleta native Maura Mitchell has sat on the board of Domestic Violence Solutions, a countywide organization offering shelter, educational programs, and counseling — among other services — to women and their kids. Ahead of the organization’s firstever 5K Run/Walk for Love at Goleta Beach on November 1, and in the wake of a University of Michigan study where nearly 20 percent of men admitted to abusing their partner, Mitchell chatted with The Santa Barbara Independent. She talked about how, after being abused by her ex-husband, she is now living her “happy ending” — enjoying a successful career and a 20-year marriage to (and two kids with) one of the friends who supported her in extricating herself from that scary situation.
Your advocacy comes from firsthand experience. I dated an absolutely amazing man in high school. Six months after we got married, he became violent. I didn’t even know what domestic violence was. It certainly didn’t happen to people like me and by people like him. He told me all the right things: It was a total aberration; it would never happen again. A year and a half later, I woke up one morning and realized that the next time he got angry, I was going to end up in the hospital. Something awful had happened to me the night before because I hadn’t marinated the pork chops correctly. What is the biggest misconception? That leaving an abusive man is like breaking up in a normal relationship. Abuse is about control. When you leave, you have to get away from somebody who will go to great lengths to control you. I was able to leave for two reasons. I had my own income. I had an amazing support system.
In many cases, domestic violence seems like a learned behavior. How can that change? The number one risk factor for people becoming violent is having seen violence between their parents as a child. When they turn into adults, they replicate those patterns. We need to educate our young men as to what a healthy relationship is. We need to educate our young women about the signs that start to show up when a relationship is likely to become abusive. Domestic violence has been in the closet for so long that it’s going to take us a while to become comfortable talking about it. We have to continue to destigmatize it and talk about it.
What role has the Ray Rice video played in that conversation? The video made all the difference in the world. All of a sudden people said, “Oh my gosh; this is our problem.” Here’s a football player who’s a hero to his hometown and to his team, and this is what’s happening behind closed doors. What is he doing to make sure that never happens again? How are we as a community rallying around the victim to help her? The 5K Run/Walk for Love takes place at Goleta Beach on Saturday, November 1, at 8 a.m. For more information, visit dvsolutions.org. —Lyz Hoffman

Wright Mills, author of The Power Elite, he’s really in town on a stealth mission to convert more skeptical intellectuals to his particular brand of gloves-off engagement with contemporary culture.

Welcome to Parenting,
I
the Original Extreme Sport
have a friend I adore. She’s smart, compassionate, funny, openminded, and operates power tools. Correctly. So when she told me last week that she’s going to have a baby, I was ecstatic. More delightful people like her in the world? Huzzah! We squealed and hugged and spoke of Storkish matters, the way girlfriends do: Nausea. Maternity leave. Glass of wine or no glass of wine. Modified yoga poses. And the alarming way her belly is widening in multiple directions — all at once. But I left feeling that there should have been more to our chat. I wished we’d bounded — for just a few minutes — right over gestation and delivery to talk about actual harsh-light-of-day parenthood. Because making a baby is about more than making a baby; it’s about raising a child — which is Way. Exponentially. Huger. So here’s what I wish I’d told my friend. Let’s call it What to Expect After You’re Expecting: Having kids is, in every way imaginable, an extreme sport. Rife with dramatic contradictions, it’s the most draining and fulfilling thing you’ll ever feel utterly unqualified for. First, expect a visit from the Ghost of Judgments Past, forcing you to revisit those pre-parenthood moments when you thought you knew it all, when you tisked other parents for their lack of discipline, control, and foresight: the father whose toddler throws a tantrum in the cereal aisle, the mother who hands her child an iPhone to play with at a restaurant table. Because you will be those parents. Both of them. More than once. by Starshine We react to our children physically — not just as they’re growing inside of us but forever after. Before I had kids, email: starshine@roshell.com I never understood the term “worried sick” or knew what people meant when they said their hearts ached with love; I thought it was hyperbole, bad poetry. But then you lie beside y our baby, watching him sleep, feeling his moist breath on your skin, and your ribcage swells to near explosion with your attachment to this person. We like to think that our children are ours. But from the moment they spring to life inside you, you belong to them. You are their tool for sustenance and protection, for comfort and guidance. Also for your jacket. Your ride to the movies. Your money. Your signature on permission slips. Your ability to make the sandwich the only way they like it. And even for your rules, which they quietly crave and loudly resent. When they are angry, they will rage at you because you’re closest and safest. Because you can forgive them. And you will. Watch your child closely — watch her discover something she’s passionate about — and you’ll see in her face unmistakable evidence of the promising future you dreamed you could create. “By god,” you’ll think, “I’ve done it. I’ve created someone so thoughtful and curious that the world is already a better place for her existence in it.” Just then, as others look on, your child will unapologetically dismiss your most cherished values and assert her own — which deep down you know is exactly what she should do but which does make you wonder whether you’ve really done a mitzvah for the universe. And finally, know this: Your child’s early cries will pierce you. They will cleave your brain in two and make your earlobes sweat. Then — I swear this will happen — you’ll get so you can stare at her almost emotionless as she cries. Like you’re looking at a drier whose buzzer is stuck in the “on” position; sure, it’s irksome and inexplicable, but you’re certain it will stop eventually and in the meantime no one will die. But there will come a time again when her pained sobs will gut you hollow — worse than before, for now they’re the wrenched sobs of mature human anguish. And you can’t fix what caused them. So will your life be better now that you’re a mother? Immeasurably. Will it be worse? Unfortunately. Welcome to parenthood, my dear friend. Your life just widened in several directions. All at once.

Santa Barbara High athletes Junior Garcia (pictured bottom) and Dane Miller are proof that the best offense
can sometimes be a good defense. The outstanding defensive performances of Garcia and Miller played a big part in helping their respective teams win rivalry games against Dos Pueblos. Garcia, a linebacker/running back for the Dons football team, recovered a fumble and was in on numerous tackles against DP. He also answered the call on offense in overtime, rushing for the winning touchdown in a 28-21 victory. Miller did her magic on the volleyball court. The senior libero picked up 23 digs — many of them coming on crushing hits — and provided excellent passing to spark Santa Barbara to a three-set sweep at first-place Dos Pueblos.

Chef ALESSANDRO
CARTUMINI
When
UNIatMET The Biltmore D
BY MATT KETTMANN
accolades — including a 2013 Foodie Award from this paper — Cartumini was one of a handful of Four Seasons chefs from around the country invited to cook at the famed James Beard House in New York City on September 30. And since his best trait may be his down-to-earth friendliness, Cartumini graciously invited us into his kitchen to see how the dish he created for N.Y.C. is prepared.
UNI with Sweet Corn, Tortilla–Lime Salt, Abalone,
Finger Limes, and Avocado PAUL WELLMAN PHOTOS
on’t be surprised when the world’s culinary kingmakers recognize Alessandro Cartumini as one of today’s best chefs. Hailing from Italy’s Piedmont region, the bespectacled son of a pastry chef came to the Four Seasons Resort Santa Barbara (a k a The Biltmore) in 2010, immediately delivering a boost of exciting energy by blending traditional, Old World techniques with cutting-edge, Californian creativity.

onist, but Cartumini uses it sparingly. “I’m kind of a wussy when it comes to sea urchin,” he admitted. Thinly sliced abalone, from the Cultured Abalone on the Gaviota Coast, also plays a big role. Unlike the softer abs from Hawai‘i, the locals are a little tougher, Cartumini says,“like beef cheeks compared to tenderloin.” He braises it slowly “so it holds its size” and cuts the abalone on the same board where he sliced limes, giving it some citrus kick. The supporting cast: While panroasting corn with tarragon, Cartumini crushes up tortilla chips with lime zest and sea salt as a topping, explaining,“You want something with a little crunch in there.” He then lays down a fascinatingly snappy microgreen called petite seagrass, mixes up some avocado with crème fraîche, throws the caviar lime beads into oil before dispersing, and drops dollops of his two purées, a sweet corn that fills the gaps and a Meyer lemon that gives it zing. The review: The as-stunning-as-it-sounds dish is primarily a study of texture — creamy, crunchy, chewy, snappy, and smooth — and disappears rapidly. “One dish and 1,500 ingredients,” laughed Cartumini.“That’s how we like to do it!”

BLOOD SUCKING
JAKE SHIMABUKURO
n aura of inherent AT boyishness infuses ukulele star Jake Shimabukuro. He has the gee-whiz adventurousness of an extreme skateboarder, game to go for the impossible, coupled with a disarming humility and genuineness that wonders at his skyrocketed popularity. The Hawaiian resident, Japanese-American by birth, shuns sophisticated framings of his virtuosity, insisting that the essence of music is the communication of feelings and that the ukulele is essentially a child’s voice. Since the age of 4, he has regarded the seeming limitations of 4 strings and two octaves as an attractive challenge rather than a deterrent, just itching for defiance. Shimabukuro is a rebel, but a rebel with causes that reach beyond his own career and even the immeasurable extension of the ukulele universe. His nonprofit Four Strings Foundation is picking up where underfunded public music education is failing, providing ukuleles, materials, and training to teachers nationwide. The master performer and string wizard, renowned for his jaw-dropping covers of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and
“Bohemian Rhapsody,” returns by popular demand, after his hit Arts & Lectures show in 2011. He plays UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Thursday, October 23, at 8 p.m. Shimabukuro took a few minutes out of his crammed Uke Nations Tour to field a few questions from The Santa Barbara Independent.
UCSB’S CAMPBELL HALL
You owe your big break to a viral YouTube video, and yet your art is so unplugged. What do you think about this paradox? The ukulele is a unique musical instrument. It’s one of the few instruments that doesn’t intimidate newcomers. You don’t feel like you have to be a musician to play the ukulele. It is affordable, portable, and, above all, user-friendly. Children and adults can maneuver their arms and fingers around the body and neck of the instrument quite easily, leveling the playing field for both tiny and large hands. In 2006, a YouTube video completely changed my life after going viral. I am eternally grateful to the group of supporters who posted it almost a decade ago.“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is still my favorite song to play night after night, and it’ll continue to evolve as time goes on.
DRAMA
Jake Shimabukuro
Recently, much of what I do onstage appears to be unplugged and acoustic, but there’s a completely different side to the ukulele that relies heavily on amplification and electronics. Experimenting with effect pedals to alter the tonal characteristics of the two-octave instrument can be quite satisfying when used in the proper context. There’s no greater thrill than stepping on that distortion pedal and ripping through a 32-bar solo like Jimi Hendrix. Your covers of pop classics are more than cultural reminiscences. They seem to extract the essence and cast it in a new simplicity and intimacy. Do you choose the song, or does the song choose you? There are so many songs that I think would sound fantastic on the ukulele — especially the ones with a bit more complexity and obscurity. The ukulele has the natural ability to cut through the sophisticated outer layers of a composition and bring out the 2-year-old toddler in a song. Arrangements on the ukulele will often make you forget how old you are, and suddenly you’re smiling and wanting to go — Joseph Miller on a three-month vacation.
THOM YORKE TOMORROW’S MODERN BOXES
In a post-In Rainbows world, releasing an album can mean any number of things. At the top of the industry ladder especially, it seems everyone is (still) scrambling to find a solution to The Internet Problem, with good (Beyoncé) to near career-destroying (U) models being created and destroyed on a nowregular basis. So, when Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke quietly unleashed his first solo album in eight years via file-sharing website BitTorrent earlier this month, the move seemed less about big statements and more about the ongoing fight to put record sales back into the hands of the artists. Retail tactics aside, Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes is noteworthy for a handful
of reasons. For one, it’s the shortest full-length Yorke has ever released, clocking in at just over 30 minutes. It also marks a notable move into more electronic zones. From a fan’s perspective, Boxes is far more interesting (and listenable) than any of the straightforward electronic music Yorke has unveiled of late (see: Sisi BakBak). But it also doesn’t hold a candle to 2006’s The Eraser. What that record and Boxes do have in common, though, is significant: Both navigate icy landscapes, both gravitate toward glitchy beats, and both reward a concentrated ear. While nothing on Boxes immediately grabs — the melodies are few and far between here — the textures and tones that
Yorke creates are impressive in their scope and hypnotizing in their execution. It’s no Radiohead album, but Boxes is certainly worth its paltry 6 sticker price. Welcome to the future. — Aly Comingore
Have you had enough of vampires yet? If you answered “yes,” then don’t worry, Kit Steinkellner, the director of this upcoming stage version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, feels the same way. “We have been using the word ‘monster’ more often than ‘vampire,’” Steinkellner told me in describing the rehearsal process. “Ever since Twilight, it seems like vampires have become a little SINK YOUR overexposed.” FANGS INTO But if she feels that way, why bother with Dracula? “I love the novel,” Steinkellner explained. “I feel like it’s perfect. I’m not a horror person normally, but Bram Stoker has this amazing facility with geometrical storytelling — every character is so well-defined that you can’t resist wondering who they really are and what they will become.” Along with codirector Jessica Hambright of the Santa Barbara School of Performing Arts, she has gathered a cast of 14 young actors who are now very much caught up in the dark and scary Victorian world conjured by Stoker’s masterpiece. When the show goes up — for two nights only, on Saturday, October 25, and on Friday, October 31, at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara ( Santa Barbara St.) — it will mark the second site-specific work that these two have created. (The first was an excellent and well-received take on The Tempest that was done on East Beach back in August.) Combining her skills as a director with her abilities as a playwright comes naturally to Steinkellner, who has won national awards for her original plays, several of which have received full professional productions in Los Angeles. Speaking of the challenges posed by this material, she said that “it’s a risk to take Dracula seriously, but that’s exactly what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to do anything campy. For example, Dracula (Malcolm McCarthy) will have an accent, but it won’t be like Count Chocula.” Ultimately, the book, and this theatrical version of it, is about something that should actually scare all of us — the monster within, the monster that crouches in your heart and that you are afraid to show to anyone. That’s what’s really sucking your blood. For more on Dracula, or to purchase tickets, visit aretedracula.brownpapertickets.com. — Charles Donelan

rchitecture is more of a team sport than the kind of artistic output you would usually find inside a museum. The architect is the coach whose team of draftsmen, renderers, model makers, and photographers create the artifacts of their trade, which lead up to the final structural achievement. A beautiful selection of such artifacts from the work of architect Barton Myers is on display at UCSB’s Art, Design & Architecture Museum from now until December 12. Starting in the late 1960s, Myers established himself as one of the pioneers of a design philosophy that opted for the creative reuse of existing historic structures through frequently abrupt juxtapositions of old and new architectural elements. While the results could have been jarring, Barton managed to create a beautiful balance of respect for historic preservation and a deep concern for the experience of modern urban living. Today we call this kind of urban planning interesting and intelligent; in 1968, it was revolutionary. As Myers’s reputation grew, so did the size of his projects. Myers has completed eight theaters and performance halls around the country, including the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, which features interior hydraulics that can radically change the interior space from a 2,000-seat concert hall to a 1,000-seat black box. In addition to these art centers, Myers has taken on many large civic projects, many of which feature the creative adaptation for which he is best known. Whether large or small, the unifying quality of Myers’s work is not so much an aesthetic similarity as it is a philosophical dedication to the harmonious combination of diverse themes with a goal of creating a dramatic and functional public space. That said, the four private homes featured here are also some of the most exciting factions of the exhibit. Perhaps because the revolutionary elements of Myers’s public buildings have become so widely adopted in the intervening 40 years, they don’t seem to have quite the impact of his more recent glass and steel homes. Starting with the design of his own home in the Toro Canyon area in the late 1990s, Myers began a series of ultramodern homes that feature rollaway aluminum walls that allow for an entire side of the structure to be retracted, blurring the distinction between indoor and outdoor space. Having been fortunate enough to tour one of these homes, I can say it is an incredible and unforgettable experience. It’s an idea that is simultaneously mind-blowing and yet so intuitively simple that you can’t believe it hasn’t been done before. The problem with architecture exhibitions has always been that you can never get this experience in the exhibition itself. No matter how well anyone describes their familiarity with a building, it will never be the same as being there yourself. While this is certainly true in this current exhibition, the collection of drawings, schematics, photos, and models is impressive in its own right. It is a relatively large show that is beautifully curated, and there is an immense amount to be learned about Myers and his career from the didactics that accompany the displays. Take your time, and soak it all in; it’s a very rewarding education. ■

CRACKING EMOTIONAL SHELLS The Heiress, presented by The Theatre Group at SBCC. At SBCC’s Garvin Theatre, Saturday, October 18. Shows through November 1. Review by Joseph Miller
T
his autumn offering by The Theatre Group at SBCC is a powerful drama by Ruth and Augustus Goetz, based on Washington Square, Henry James’s 1880 novel that focuses on the relationship between a wealthy New York physician, Austin Sloper (Tom Hinshaw), and his shy, plain, and awkward adult daughter, Catherine (Avery Clyde). Director Judy Garey makes terrific use of dramatic talent and scenic know-how in this engaging, psychologically involved, and visually impressive work. To be sure, The Heiress is a notable piece of heavy lifting, with mid-1800s period costumes and sets and a script that clocks in at over two and a half hours. Patricia L. Frank has designed an exquisite parlor room for the Sloper residence, with marble columns, a staircase with a runner, daylight-lit windows with damask draperies, a crystal chandelier, and wall sconces. And Pamela Shaw’s costumes are the perfect complement to the ambiance. Dr. Sloper is an emotionally distant father whose heart has been closed ever since his wife died during childbirth. He harbors resentment toward Catherine because she is the child that “killed” her mother, and at the same time he wastes no opportunity to criticize her for her shortcomings. Sloper’s oppressive influence on his daughter manifests out of his idealization of his late wife, against whom he is compelled to measure Catherine. Not believing Catherine is inherently lovable, he is suspicious of the intentions of a suitor, Morris Townsend (Josh Jenkins), with whom Catherine falls in love. Hinshaw’s Sloper is a quietly forceful patriarch, certain of his opinions. Ambiguity in Morris’s motive is one of the most important engines driving the drama forward, and Jenkins does a fine job keeping us guessing. Equally important is the slow emancipation of the inner being of Catherine, and Clyde gives a convincing performance as the suppressed heiress progressively struggling to find her own voice and identity. Leslie Gangl Howe is superb as Lavinia Penniman, Catherine’s meddling aunt. Leslie Ann Story turns in a strong performance as the other aunt, Elizabeth Almond. Marion Freitag is a compelling presence as Maria, the maid. The cast also includes Evan Bell as Arthur Townsend, Katherine Bottoms as Marian Almond, and Kate Bergstrom as Mrs. Montgomery. ■

o one can accuse Rodney Gustafson of being forgetful when it comes to great dancers and great ballets. Gustafson, whose State Street Ballet company celebrates its 20th year of continuous operation with a performance this Saturday at the Granada, first heard about Scheherazade some 15 years back. The world-premiere ballet by Autumn Eckman, which State Street Ballet will perform this weekend, was an idea that the company’s managing director, Tim Mikel, first OPENS SEASON WITH A FULL-LENGTH COMMISSION kicked around when Eckman was a young dancer by Charles Donelan who had then just joined the State Street ranks. Since then, Mikel had the chance to expand on his thoughts by composing a complete libretto, and Eckman has become one of the top choreographers in Chicago, a hotbed of modern dance and contemporary ballet. Over the years, Eckman and Mikel stayed in touch, and Gustafson followed Eckman’s rise, which eventually led her to a position as the assistant artistic director and resident choreographer of Giordano Dance Chicago. When State Street Ballet’s 20th-anniversary season appeared on the horizon, Gustafson took advantage of the occasion to make this long-standing dream of collaboration a reality. By commissioning Scheherazade, he realized multiple goals in a single, bold move. For Eckman, it’s a chance to return to a city she loves to show what she has learned and what she can do. For Mikel, it’s the reward for sticking with his vision, which brings a new approach to the renowned Tales of the Arabian Nights, one in which the focus is primarily on the Queen of the Desert and the Traveler. For Gustafson and his talented troupe of dancers, it’s an opportunity to demonstrate both the deep resources of creativity that exist within their organization — after all, the work is entirely the product of two of their own members, plus the beautiful and mesmerizing music of Rimsky-Korsakov — and a chance to revel in a style of dance they have pioneered, one which is physical, sensual, and modern yet firmly rooted in the discipline of classical ballet. “I know the company,” Eckman told me by telephone last week as she was preparing to leave Chicago for Santa Barbara.“I know their strengths, their versatility, and above all, I know what they are capable of.” In regard to the balance of ballet technique and contemporary dance moves that runs throughout Scheherazade, Eckman says, “I have an equal background in both, from set design to steps, and I feel like this piece demonstrates the fact that I have developed my own distinctive movement vocabulary within that range of expression.” For this production, she and Mikel agreed that the emphasis should be on making something that’s new but not necessarily modernized. “This is a new chapter, and a completely new story created from the text, but it’s definitely still a fairy tale,” said Eckman, who will be giving a pre-show talk immediately before Saturday’s Granada performance. Eckman arrives in the wake of several recent triumphs in Chicago, including premiering an entirely different work back in March 2014. “Mist,” which pairs dancers with a large vocal ensemble that sings contemporary classical compositions onstage during the performance, was rapturously received on a program that paired it with another recent Eckman dance, 2012’s “Jolt,” which celebrates her love of coffee. “I’ve been fortunate that a lot of things I’ve done recently have been firsts,” Eckman told me. On Saturday, expect a vibrant first that’s been 15 years in the making.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC
YOUTHFUL SOUNDS: Teens gather at the Eastside Boys & Girls Club’s MusicBox Studio to make some beautiful noise. From left: Alvaro Jaimes, Dalia Kahn, Jamey Geston, Jose Jimenez, Notes for Notes program director Kris Ehrman, Casmali Lopez, Ella Garcia, and Chimaway Lopez
S.B.’S NOTES FOR NOTES IS BROADCASTING ITS TUNE THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
ou’re gonna want to put in earplugs for this,” the teens told me before two of them launched into a song of their own creation that featured crunchy guitar licks and hard-hitting drum patterns. It was infectious rock ’n’ roll, and those of us listening bobbed our heads and tapped our feet to the driving beat. This musical excerpt was courtesy of Jose Jimenez and Casmali Lopez, but spontaneous performances are a common occurrence in this venue, a small studio within the Santa Barbara Boys & Girls Club on Canon Perdido Street. The afternoon I visited, teens were exchanging musical ideas in the gigging area, singing karaoke in the engineering space, and laying down tracks in the recording studio. It was a typical afternoon in the three-room space that exists thanks to the nonprofit Notes for Notes. Started in Santa Barbara eight years ago, Notes for Notes formed with the idea of giving kids free access to musical expression. “It was just the one little idea,” explained CEO and cofounder Phil Gilley. “We started at the Teen Center [on Chapala and Victoria], and then the S.B. Bowl got involved.” The seed for Notes for Notes was Gilley’s, but it was Rod Hare, who sits on the S.B. Bowl’s educational outreach board, who helped grow the idea into a far-reaching nonprofit model. “Notes for Notes’ [formation] is essentially a buddy movie,” Gilley said of his partnership with Hare.“We consider each other cofounders in this because it really was just a roomful of gear and us hanging out before [Rod] stumbled upon us and got the Bowl involved. He saw the national implications of how we could spread.” What started as a “roomful of gear” in 2007 has grown exponentially with no evidence of slowing down. Early on, the decision was made to take MusicBox Studios on the road, so to speak.“We thought we can just creep down the coast, or we can plant our flag and establish ourselves nationally,” Gilley explained.“So that’s when I moved to Nashville and launched these two out here.” With its presence secured in the U.S.’s country-music capital, Gilley and Hare set their sights on expansion in California.“Now we are actually creeping down the coast to Ventura,” he said. “We opened in Santa Monica last year; West San Gabriel opens in about six weeks. I think Ventura will open in the beginning of 2015. And then San Francisco in January. … We have five clubs now, and by the end of next year we’ll have at least 12,” said Gilley. New sites include Detroit, Brooklyn, Austin, and Atlanta, thanks in part to a generous recent partnership with the Country Music Association, whose assistance will help set up the next five MusicBox locations.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS It’s easy to understand why Notes for Notes is achieving such success. For the past decade, public education arts programs have been squeezed out due to budget cuts, the tragic result being that many kids Phil Gilley do not get introduced to music and the magical outlet of expression it offers. Notes for Notes remedies that with the space and gear for kids to explore their creative curiosity — for free. “There are no fees, so there’s no competition in our eyes,” said Gilley.“A member does not represent a dollar. … So there is no need for scholarships for those who can’t pay, which would otherwise create a one-up, one-down dynamic, and young people are really sensitive to that. The moment they feel like they’re one place and another youth is in another, it makes it really hard to start a conversation.” Another critical aspect of the formula is building relationships; each MusicBox location has a director who imparts their knowledge, dedicates their time, and sets the tone of the space. “It’s really the program director who is in the studio every hour, who makes those facilities what they are,” Gilley explained. “At our core, we’re a relationship organization, and music is the conduit. … It is the starting point either to a relationship that is built on learning music together, creating music together, learning something about someone else, and, most importantly, learning something about yourself.” In addition to careful staffing, Gilley and his team have caught the eyes and ears of a number of established musicians. Here at home, Jack Johnson and Glen Phillips have both popped by the Notes for Notes studios to play a few songs, jam with the kids, and answer questions. (Both Johnson and Phillips are on the nonprofit’s advisory board, which includes other luminaries such as Jeff Bridges, Joe Bonamassa, Slash, David Crosby, Martin Gore, and Seymour Duncan). In its latest incarnation, Notes for Notes has kids getting to record — in absentia — with well-known bands. Gilley
Notes for Notes hosts its annual fundraiser featuring Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Vivino of the Basic Cable Band, and special guests on Friday, October 24, 7 p.m., at the Lobero Theatre (33 W. Canon Perdido St.), with a VIP pre-party at 5:30 p.m. For tickets and information, call 966-4946 or visit lobero.com.

explained,“It’s still in the works, but we’ve been working closely with the band Capital Cities. We did a project this past summer at Bonnaroo, where we actually brought a mobile recording studio down to the festival. We had produced half a dozen songs in the [MusicBox] studios, which featured the kids, then we went on-site and started reaching out to artists to come in and lay something down on these tracks. Our goal over time is to actually sell a track, with all the proceeds being split between Notes for Notes and a scholarship fund for the kids on that track.”
THE MUSIC IS ME Back in the Box, unaware of the details of the project, a group of teens obligingly play every request I throw at them. Carpinteria-based Jamey Geston busts out a great rendition of “Fever” with budding singer Ella Garcia joining in on harmonies. Dalia Khan, who started coming to the MusicBox when she was 14 and now goes to UCSB and is part-time director of the studio, delivered a soulful version of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” accompanied by Chimaway Lopez on guitar. All the while, Eastside Notes for Notes program director Kris Ehrman watches over his young charges with benevolent calm. He brings a cordless mike to Garcia (“It’s like my birthday,” she squeals in response to the new equipment) and unobtrusively puts instruments back in their rightful place. Ehrman is part of the “lifeblood,” as Gilley calls the directors, of the Eastside studio.“There’s a vibe, and it’s almost not qualitative,” he said of the environment the directors create.“How do you describe the vibe other than it just feels like it should? It’s a place where you can go and be yourself. That feeling is nothing you can put in a program book and then pass off; it’s about finding the right person for the studio, our program, and, most importantly, our vibe and culture.” And it is that culture that keeps the kids coming back, like Kahn and Jimenez, who graduated from Santa Barbara High last June and now works at Just Play Music record store.“I started coming about a month ago,” Geston said,“and I’ve already made a new friend,” speaking of Garcia, whom she met two days prior. It’s an environment that is alive and dynamic and full of possibility.“The studios present the opportunity to educate on more than just performance and learning an instrument; it [introduces kids to] tons of different careers all the way up to and beyond engineering and production,” Gilley said.“It’s something we’re all proud of, and because [we work as a] team, we all get to look at it and know we put our hands on it in some way.” While Notes for Notes is something for those involved to be proud of, for sure, it’s more than that for the cofounders.“For [Hare], it’s a labor of love, and for me, it’s my career and my pas■ sion and hopefully our legacy,” said Gilley. october 23, 2014

IT’S A SMALL WORLD: Saharan blues rockers Tinariwen bring their sprawling, affecting, sobering sounds to UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Sunday, October 26.
DESERT SONG: Looking back on my musical upbringing, it seems inevitable that I’d end up drawn to that sweet spot where psych rock and blues collide. As the resident music buff in my young life, my dad wore his love of Jimi Hendrix on his sleeve. He also still has his 1969 Hollywood Bowl ticket stub, framed, no less. Today, I’m surrounded by more music makers, facilitators, and fans than I know what to do with, and yet those fatherly founded style guides still ring true. He taught me that good music can be loud or quiet so long as it has soul. And it’s always better if the guitar does the majority of the heavy lifting. Thinking about it now, I’m almost beside myself that I haven’t introduced my dear old dad to Tinariwen yet. Since forming in 1979 around the music of Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, this malleable group of multigenerational players from the deserts of northern Mali has been stirring the pot in nearly every sense of the word. On the sociopolitical front, Tinariwen was built within the Tuareg rebel community as a protest band, and many members of its rotating cast of characters have fought firsthand in rebel armies against the Mali government. Musically speaking, Tinariwen’s sound is a potent and affecting melting pot of styles, with influences ranging from Moroccan protest music to Algerian pop to American rock à la Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, and, of course, Jimi Hendrix. Somewhere between that interplay of worldly touchstones and unfathomable personal strife, Tinariwen has crafted a model that defies cultural lines and defines the human condition. While harmonies and lyrics factor in prominently, the deliveries easily transcend the band’s Tuareg language barriers. Add in a love of resonating guitar chords, psychedelic sonic washes, and that blurry space where vocal melodies and guitar melodies combine, and you can begin to understand the fully immersive experience that is the music Tinariwen makes. This Sunday, October 26, the band pulls into UCSB’s Campbell Hall, thanks to the fine folks at Arts & Lectures. No matter your musical leanings, cultural background, or political allegiances, I highly recommend snagging a ticket to this rare, sure-to-be-mind-expanding performance. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to invite your dad. For tickets and info, call 893-3535 or visit artsandlectures.sa.ucsb.edu. GOOD DEEDS: Also this week, beloved folk-rock icon Jackson Browne returns to the Arlington Theatre for a special night of music to benefit Sanctuary Centers. The community-based nonprofit has been serving adults living with mental illness in Santa Barbara since 1976 and providing all manner of programs and assistance, ranging from residential and outpatient care to offering low-income housing and drug and alcohol therapy. As for Jackson, who calls Santa Barbara home and has long stayed active in myriad charity organizations, this month marks the release of his 14th studio album, Standing in the Breach. The record marks Browne’s first collection of new material in six years, and it’s sure to factor prominently into the Arlington show, which features the singer/songwriter in full-band mode, with a number of still-to-be-announced special guests slated to make appearances. The show takes place Saturday, October 25, at 8 p.m. For tickets, call 963-4408 or visit ■ thearlingtontheatre.com. ocTobEr 23, 2014

WAKE UP: Kerry Candaele’s documentary Following the Ninth looks at the impact Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony has had on people around the world. The film screens as part of the Awakened World International Film Fest.
SATORI CINEMA
S
tatues and paintings can be sacred; texts like the Bible and the Tao Te Ching can be, too. As far as we know, though, no movie has gained similar acclaim. Barbara Fields believes there are sacred issues that can be accessed best via cinema, and next week she and the Association for Global New Thought will try to rectify this shortcoming — or at least draw an emphatic arrow pointing toward film’s potential to invoke sacred values. The Awakened World International Film Festival Retreat wasn’t originally supposed to be so fancy. Fields, the executive director of the area chapter of Global New Thought, a spiritual INTERNATIONAL FILM FEST RETREAT DEBUTS movement that dates back to 19thcentury American transcendentalby D.J. Palladino ists, originally meant to throw some films into the mix of her group’s big retreat, so she gave a mini-presentation to her board. “I just had the idea that we could show some films instead of just asking people to be there giving live presentations. They listened, and then they said, ‘No, let’s put together a whole film festival.’” That was a year ago, and Fields, who studied comparative religion at UCSB in its 1970s heyday, had never started a film festival before. She began by investigating what was out there.“I had these criteria that the films had to be socially relevant and spiritually responsible,” she said. What that mostly means is no New Age or religious exploitation — nothing that either lures the gullible or claims to have a monopoly on truth. “You know people are very hungry for answers,” she said, and unfortunately there are lots of people who want to manipulate belief, using what Fields calls “spiritual materialism.” “The surprising thing was that I was immediately overwhelmed with great films,” she recalled. She quickly assembled 40 people across the country to act as reviewers. The results were so good that a daunting number of very worthy projects had to be turned away. “What’s even better is that we got nearly 100 percent involvement,” said Fields, proud that virtually all of the films will be accompanied by the director and several other key players. Among those appearing are two Santa Barbara–based celebs. “You know Jeff Bridges and his wife, Susan, are very involved with the End Hunger Network,” said Fields, and the longtime Montecitan has made himself very available for discussions after the screening of A Place at the Table. Newer S.B. arrival Michael Imperioli (of The Sopranos fame) may be Fields’s fave of the fest. “You’ve probably heard that Michael is the nicest person you’ll ever meet, counter to his gangster image,” said Fields, whose Chicago upbringing brought her close to real mob folk.“He’s also a dedicated Tibetan Buddhist.” His contribution, The Hungry Ghosts, which he wrote and directed, is subtle in its religious implications, she said,“with dialogue that I swear is almost Shakespearian. And I don’t say that lightly.” Another former Santa Barbaran, Kerry Candaele brings back his film about Beethoven and interconnectedness, Following the Ninth. The festival retreat will proceed along more didactic lines than say the Santa Barbara International Film Fest. Screenings will open with meditations, followed by the actual film, a question-and-answer period, and then a workshop, to ensure the film’s import isn’t lost in popcorn and idle chat afterward. But Fields wants it to be enjoyable, too. “I want to see people floating in and out of the energy these films create,” she said, speaking like a bard herself. “I hope it can be this rich so you can swim in it and it heals you.”

WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? Fury. Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, and Logan Lerman star in a film written and directed by David Ayer. Reviewed by D.J. Palladino
F
ury ’s director David Ayer is so intimately connected with Training Day that it seems almost rude to point out that he did not actually make that film. Though Ayer wrote the culty Denzel Washington/Ethan Hawke vehicle, directing credit goes to Antoine Fuqua. Ayer’s directorial work in the shark-jumping world of Hollywood-studio filmmaking has been almost phenomenally bad, including the somnolent handheld-camera melodrama End of Watch and this year’s Sabotage, which many people consider to be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s worst film. And that’s saying something. The overall technical improvement reflected in this movie is Fury’s most phenomenal aspect. Fury is not a great film, but it has a great nucleus. Roughly halfway through the nonstop horror of tank warfare behind German lines, our four antiheroes led by Wardaddy (Brad Pitt), a case-hardened tank commander, enter a small German town and get a debauched bivouac. Wardaddy takes Norman (Logan Lerman), a newbie who he has just brutally initiated into war’s privilege of slaughter, into the home of an elegant townswoman and her young niece. We know most of what’s possible but can’t guess which way it might go. Just when we relax into Wardaddy’s seemingly innocent intentions, the rest of his murderous crew shows up. Great war movies ride a razor’s edge, the thin line between exhilaration and horror, and this movie does
HISTORY OF VIOLENCE: Fury features Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead) as Grady, one of five American soldiers on a deadly mission behind enemy lines near the end of WWII.
that well — it’s hard to get out of your head afterward, too. The film’s perfect emblem is Grady (Jon Bernthal), who comes off both crudely demented and soulfully polite — he embodies the American soldier. What’s missing here is any resolution to either embrace the horror or make a final stand for war as an unjustifiable evil. Instead, Ayer takes another path to the end that has to do with heroism and fear. But the best line in the movie belongs to Wardaddy: “Ideals are peaceful; history is violent,” he says. It’s too bad that this very good movie didn’t run with its own terrifying assessment. Soldiers aren’t heroes or cowards; they’re people forced into horrible actions who sometimes come ■ home knowing way too much about history.

f you were of draft age in 1975, you might be excused for not feeling more than an abstract sadness for the South Vietnamese that were left behind when American troops left that country as Saigon fell. More likely, though, there were mixed emotions: great relief that this stupid war was over (and you would not have to go fight it) and shame that your country had not only misrepresented what it was doing in Indochina but failed at its mission. Meanwhile, 3.1 million people died violently. There was little left over for the faraway people on the nightly news. As you might imagine, this fine, engaging documentary is meant to make us feel more for those who were stranded in the chaotic withdrawal — Vietnamese who had worked with or for American forces and (at the very least) spent subsequent years in reeducation camps. Rory Kennedy’s film does de-desensitize us, but what’s even better is that this profusely illustrative doc also makes some sense of the tragic farce. Why, for instance, when the peace treaties were signed in 1973, did it take two years for the North to invade and the debacle to come down on all of our heads? Kennedy believes they didn’t move sooner because they feared Nixon (they thought he was a madman, imagine) and that Watergate set them free. The film also devotes a lot of time examining the persona of U.S. ambassador Graham

Martin, whose politics, temperament, and personal stake (his only son was killed there) delayed a more sensible withdrawal. There were plans in place. At the very least, we learn how disconnected the country’s fate was from even Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger and how the disaster blossomed in those disconnections. We meet a number of unexpected heroes, too. But Kennedy’s real triumph is showing us that world and not just chronicling it: refugee-crowded ships, helicopter escapes that defy imagination, and an army of characters who never got acknowledged in those bad old days. We meet people who acted compassionately. Most of all, we see yet another war entered in hubris and abandoned ■ in shame.

MOVIE GUIDE
“ONE OF THE BEST ACTION FILMS OF THE YEAR!” SCOTT MENDELSON, FORBES
Edited by Aly Comingore
The following films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, OCTOBER , THROUGH THURSDAY, OCTOBER . Descriptions followed by initials — DJP (D.J. Palladino) and KS (Kit Steinkellner) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com. The symbol ✯ indicates the film is recommended.
FIRST LOOKS The Book of Life (95 mins.; PG: mild action, rude humor, some thematic elements, brief scary images)
Like The Boxtrolls, this film has spectacular technical aspects supporting a dozeinducing storyline. On the other hand, it serves a majorly neglected audience, using deep cuts from Mexican mythology to flesh out a version of the Orpheus story. In the town of San Angel, two boys named Manolo and Joaquin fall in love with the fiery-spirited Maria. Two gods, La Muerte and Xibalba take notice, and as the kids grow up, their youthful passions turn into a love triangle that sends musicloving Manolo down into the Land of the Remembered. It’s a complicated story and a chatty script but filled with zingers and witty musical numbers like “The Apology Song.” Mostly, though, The Book of Life is a display case for the art of Jorge Gutierrez, who also directed. The style is a nice cross between traditional folk art, with a heavy emphasis on Day of the Dead iconography, and the trendy look of contemporary illustrators — it’s postmodern Picasso with 1950s-jazz-album flavors transposed south of the border. For the most part, it is breathtaking. The problem is that the story stalls out so many times into preachy conversations, and we get lost in the drawings instead of the plot.

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF OCTOBER ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): The driest place on the planet is the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It gets about a half inch of rain per year. And yet in 2011, archaeologists discovered that it’s also home to a site containing the fossilized skeletons of numerous whales and other ancient sea creatures. I’m detecting a metaphorically comparable anomaly in your vicinity, Aries. A seemingly arid, empty part of your life harbors buried secrets that are available for you to explore. If you follow the clues, you may discover rich pickings that will inspire you to revise your history.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): Businessperson Warren Buffett is worth $66 billion but regularly gives away 27 percent of his fortune to charity. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates owns $79 billion and donates 36 percent. Then there are the members of the Walton family, owners of Walmart, where 100 million Americans shop weekly. The Waltons have $144 billion of which they contribute 0.04 percent to good causes. You are not wealthy in the same way these people are, Taurus. Your riches consist of resources like your skills, relationships, emotional intelligence, creative power, and capacity for love. My invitation to you is to be extra generous with those assets — not as lavish as Buffett or Gates, perhaps, but much more than the Waltons. You are in a phase when giving your gifts is one of the best things you can do to bolster your own health, wealth, and well-being.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): You have two options. You can be in denial about your real feelings and ignore what needs to be fixed and wait for trouble to come find you, or you can vow to be resilient and summon your feistiest curiosity and go out searching for trouble. The difference between these two approaches is dramatic. If you mope and sigh and hide, the messy trouble that arrives will be indigestHomework: I invite you to carry out a prank that makes someone feel really good.

ible. But if you are brave and proactive, the interesting trouble you get will ultimately evolve into a blessing.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22): Astronauts on the International Space Station never wash their underwear. They don’t have enough water at their disposal to waste on a luxury like that. Instead, they fling the dirty laundry out into space. As it falls to Earth, it burns up in the atmosphere. I wish you had an amenity like that right now. In fact, I wish you had a host of amenities like that. If there was ever a time when you should be liberated from having to wash your underwear, make your bed, sweep the floor, and do the dishes, it would be now. Why? Because there are much better ways to spend your time. You’ve got sacred quests to embark on, heroic adventures to accomplish, historical turning points to initiate.
LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): What are those new whisperings in your head? Are they messages from your inner teacher? Beacons beamed back through time from the Future You? Clues from the wise parts of your unconscious mind? Whatever they are, Leo, pay attention. These signals from the Great Beyond may not be clear yet, but if you are sufficiently patient, they will eventually tell you how to take advantage of a big plot twist. But here’s a caveat: Don’t automatically believe every single thing the whisperings tell you. Their counsel may not be 100 percent accurate. Be both receptive and discerning toward them.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): In the English-speaking world, a sundae is a luxurious dessert that features ice cream topped with sweet treats like syrup, sprinkles, and fruits. In Korea, a sundae is something very different. It consists of a cow’s or pig’s intestines crammed with noodles, barley, and pig’s blood. I expect that in the coming week you will be faced with a decision that has metaphorical similarities to the choice between a sundae and a sundae. Make sure you are quite clear about the true nature of each option.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): The average serving of pasta on a typical American’s plate is almost 480 percent bigger than what’s recommended as a healthy portion. So says a research paper titled “The Contribution of Expanding Portion Sizes to the U.S. Obesity Epidemic” by Lisa R. Young and Marion Nestle. Muffins are 333 percent larger than they need to be, the authors say, and steaks are 224 percent excessive. Don’t get caught up in this trend, Libra. Get what you need, but not way, way more than what you need. For that matter, be judicious in your approach to all of life’s necessities. The coming phase is a time when you will thrive by applying the Goldilocks principle: neither too much nor too little, but just right.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): “Children are the most desirable opponents at Scrabble,” declares Scorpio author Fran Lebowitz,“as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat.” I don’t wholeheartedly endorse that advice for you in the coming days, Scorpio. But would you consider a milder version of it? Let’s propose, instead, that you simply seek easy victories to boost your confidence and hone your skills. By this time next week, if all goes well, you will be ready to take on more ambitious challenges.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): You are entering a phase when you will have more luck than usual as you try to banish parasitic influences, unworthy burdens, and lost causes. Here are some projects you might want to work on: (1) Bid farewell to anyone who brings out the worst in you. (2) Heal the twisted effect an adversary has had on you. (3) Get rid of any object that symbolizes failure or pathology. (4) Declare your independence from a situation that wastes your time or drains your resources. (5) Shed any guilt you feel for taking good care of yourself. (6) Stop a bad habit cold turkey.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Are you ready to be as affable as a Sagittarius, as charismatic as a Leo, as empathetic as a
Cancerian, and as vigorous an instigator as an Aries? No? You’re not? You’re afraid that would require you to push yourself too far outside of your comfort zone? Okay, then. Are you willing to be half as affable as a Sagittarius, half as charismatic as a Leo, half as empathetic as a Cancerian, and half as inspiring an instigator as an Aries? Or even a quarter as much? I hope you will at least stretch yourself in these directions, Capricorn, because doing so would allow you to take maximum advantage of the spectacular social opportunities that will be available for you in the next four weeks.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): In the coming weeks, I hope you will find practical ways to express your newfound freedom. All the explorations and experiments you have enjoyed recently were fun and provocative, but now it’s time to use the insights they sparked to upgrade your life back in the daily grind. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. I love it when you are dreamy and excitable and farseeing and would never ask you to tone down those attractive qualities. But I am also rooting for you to bring the high-flying parts of you down to Earth so that you can reap the full benefits of the bounty they have stirred up. If you work to become more well-grounded, I predict that you will be situated in a new power spot by December 1.
PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): The heavy metal band known as Hatebeak broadened the definition of what constitutes music. Its lead singer was Waldo, an African grey parrot. A review by Aquarius Records called Waldo’s squawks “completely and stupidly brilliant.” For Hatebeak’s second album, they collaborated with animal rights’ activists in the band Caninus, whose lead vocalists were two pit bull terriers, Basil and Budgie. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I’d love to see you get inspired by these experiments. I think you will generate interesting results as you explore expansive, even unprecedented, approaches in your own chosen field.

Beer of the Week Surf Brewery’s Mondo’s Blonde Ale:
Missed our Best of Santa Barbara ® Readers’ Poll?
independent.com /bestof2014

THE INDEPENDENT
october 23, 2014
As Santa Barbara’s brewery balloon continues to inflate with quality quaffers, a slow, steady tide keeps rising from down south in Ventura, where Surf Brewery reliably pumps out creative yet clean craft beers. Mondo’s Blonde Ale, which is named after the newbie‑friendly wave south of La Conchita, is one such example: crisp and sessionable in the American cream ale style, yet malty, unfiltered, and tweaked with a bit of corn. The 22‑ouncer, which can be found at most grocery and liquor stores in town, goes down way too easy, perfect with sandy beaches, sunny barbecues, or spicy tacos. See surfbrewery.com.

Barbareño
Opening Downtown
B
arbareño, a new restaurant located at West Canon Perdido Street, the former home of D’Vine Café, will hold its grand opening on Wednesday, October 29. Coowner/chef Julian Martinez and chef de cuisine Owen Hanavan will serve a menu focused on Central Coast cuisine, with an emphasis placed on contemporary interpretations of regional specialties and traditional dishes. Co-owner/general manager Jesse Gaddy and floor manager Ryan Springmeier will oversee the dining room and service. All the ingredient sourcing will be Californian, working primarily with ingredients from the Santa Barbara Farmers Market. The highly seasonal menu will have a selection of small plates like the ranch salad with little gems, house-cultured buttermilk, parsley vinaigrette, and sun gold tomatoes; larger plates include pork belly and loin with caramelized whey, strawberry nectar, and savory black walnut granola. Gaddy, Lenka Davis, and Kris Brown are behind the beverage menu, which will focus on wines and beers solely from California, with a particular emphasis placed on the Central Coast. Wines will be offered by the bottle or by the glass, and three beers will be on tap, along with a selection of bottled brews. Coffee will be sourced from Santa Barbara–based Handlebar Coffee Roasters. With a contemporary ranch-style design, the restaurant space is rustic yet refined. The main dining room holds approximately 30 guests. A heated outdoor patio area, highlighted by a wood-burning Santa Maria grill and smoker, will accommodate an additional 25 guests. “Growing up here, I always felt that the Central Coast was a really special place,” said Martinez.“With Barbareño, we hope to celebrate this area, bringing the culture and its environment to life. This will be a restaurant that could not exist anywhere else, a place that embodies where we are, how we got here, and the moment in which we’re living — where the food is not only locally sourced, but also locally inspired.” Barbareño will be open for dinner service Wednesday-Sunday, 5:30-10 p.m. See barbareno.com or call 963-9591.

BARBAREÑO BOYS: Barbareño co-owners chef Julian Martinez (right) and general manager Jesse Gaddy are opening their new restaurant in the former home of D’Vine Café.
Flower Street in Los Angeles. The official business name is Caffe Primo , LLC. Caffe Primo offers house-roasted coffees and a variety of dining options. Specialties include paninis made with fresh artisanal breads, such as the Roasted Tomato, Fig, and Goat Cheese Panini; fresh salads like the Signature Chop Chop with salami, turkey, provolone; and individual pizzettas such as Prosciutto & Arugula and Pizza Margherita. Caffe Primo also offers premium gelato and sorbettos from Primo Gelato, which was named among the “Best of L.A.” by Los Angeles Magazine and one of the “top five ice creams in the city” by Angeleno. Breakfast, which is served all day, includes items such as the Crab, Swiss, and Tomato Frittata and house-baked pastries, muffins, and cookies. See iloveprimo.com. Thanks to readers Matt and Brendan for the tips!
CAFFE PRIMO X 2? Reader Brendan also pointed out that the website for PDC Capital Group — an organization involved with the renovation of the old Greyhound station at Carrillo and Chapala — offers the following announcement, dated December 2013: “The lease for Caffe Primo has been fully executed and assigned to the project company. The project company is awaiting landlord approval before store build out can commence.” Does that mean two Caffe Primos will be opening downtown?

COFFEE CAT’S CORNER? There’s a listing on the LoopNet.com real estate website for a lease at Anacapa Street that reads: “First time available in 20 years! The iconic Coffee Cat location has been a mainstay of the Santa Barbara Central Business District. This highprofile corner location is suitable for retail, financial services, or office users. Located a block off State Street, the building serves a high daytime population of office workers, including the County Administration complex, the County Courthouse, and the central branch of the Santa Barbara Public Library.” I called Coffee Cat and was told that they have no plans to move or close. That’s great news. Coffee Cat is one of my favorite places for business meetings downtown.

auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 277‑4845 or visit this Internet Web Site www.usa‑foreclosure. com, using the file number, 14CA00188‑1, assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to
the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell.
