Foreign Oil: Another Reason to Vote NO on Measure P CALIFORNIANS

ALREADY

IMPORT

MORE THAN 63% OF THE OIL WE USE 1 Measure P is a step backwards for energy independence

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

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

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

Newspapers across the County say NO on Measure P Newspapers across Santa Barbara County have joined a broad based and growing citizens committee of over 3,000 people in recommending a NO vote on Measure P, a flawed measure that would cause the loss of thousands of jobs, the loss of hundreds of millions to our local economy each year, and would increase our dependence on foreign oil.

“Measure P leaves much to be desired… A voter initiative, such as this measure, should only be used as a last resort. And it certainly should not be written in a confusing and potentially litigious manner.

This is the principal problem with Measure P: It is susceptible to costly legal challenges.”

“Measure P is a death sentence for the oil industry in Santa Barbara County, and when the oil industry is finished, so are thousands of direct and indirect jobs, as are the tens of millions in tax dollars paid to local governments, schools and publicsafety agencies.”

VOTE YES ON P: HERE’S WHY Hi, I’m Bob Burgess. Last week my self-funded ad spoke of the Big Oil Bully spending millions of dollars on an intellectually bankrupt strategy of Fear Mongering. This week I will describe rogue technologies since we are witnessing a classic example of one, “well stimulation treatments”, a quote from the County Council. This includes fracking, acid well stimulation and water and steam injections.

BUT NOTE THAT MEASURE P DOES NOT APPLY TO EXISTING PROJECTS, NOR TO CONVENTIONAL OIL AND GAS PROJECTS EVEN IF THEY ARE NEW. I am an engineer and have observed many, many cases of rogue engineering in my long life. I, and I am sure many of you, have noticed in the last couple of years how fracking and the other new, aggressive “well stimulation treatments” in oil and gas extraction are now in the news on an almost daily basis. For example, earthquakes in Oklahoma, Ohio, Colorado and elsewhere, cancers caused by fracking and victims compensated in Texas, kitchen faucet drinking water with combustible natural gas coming out in Pennsylvania, petroleum industry trucks crowding rural roads in Texas and being involved in accidents, increased use of railroad tank cars carrying oil and involved in fiery accidents causing deaths recently, and the list goes on and on. THIS IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF A NEW AND ROGUE TECHNOLOGY. Normally these rogue technologies make corrections and evolve into more mature and acceptable industries and we call that progress. But we, in Santa Barbara, do not need to be at ground zero of the oil industry’s trial and error experiments.

WE CAN VOTE YES ON MEASURE P AND AVOID THAT. Closer to home, a couple weeks ago the California State Water Resources Control Board confirmed that in Kern County, the next county over from Santa Barbara, at least nine fracking wastewater injection wells were shut down in July for having dumped wastewater contaminated with fracking fluids and other pollutants into aquifers protected by state laws and the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. You can Google it and read the letter sent by the State to the EPA’s Regional Administrator.

Did you see or hear anything about that incident? Do you wonder why it was not a front page story in the daily newspapers in drought suffering Santa Barbara County?

In Santa Barbara County the voters have a rare opportunity to prevent such technical misbehavior here by voting YES on Measure P. That will force the Big Oil industry to clean up its act.

VOTE YES ON MEASURE P AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO. This can be our finest hour as an electorate, the voters of Santa Barbara County, to stand up to the Big Oil Bully and say, “NOT IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, DAMN IT. I’M VOTING YES ON MEASURE P”.

Please clip, copy and distribute this message throughout Santa Barbara County to help stop the Big Oil Bully here and now – in our Santa Barbara County.

Thanks for reading some of this engineer’s observations on rogue technologies and their history. Bob Burgess • VOTE YES ON MEASURE P

RACIALLY POLARIZED: With changing demographics, attorney Barry Cappello argued that white voters will soon need district elections for white candidates to get elected. For now, he argues the change in voting schemes is mandated by state law to rectify lack of Latinos on the council.

Tempers Flare over District Elections

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

A 39-year-old Santa Barbara man is in custody after officers responded to reports of a domestic disturbance early Wednesday morning and found a 39-year-old woman dead in an apartment, according to SBPD spokesperson Sergeant Riley Harwood. At around 1:40 a.m., officers went to the 500 block of West Los Olivos Street after a neighbor called about yelling and pounding at a nearby residence. When officers went to that apartment, they found the man inside and the woman deceased inside, Harwood said. Police also found a 2-year-old present but unharmed; the child is now being cared for by Child Welfare Services. Harwood said the man and woman weren’t married and had ties to the apartment but may not have both lived there. Additional details surrounding the incident were not released by press time.

Gregorio Agustine, 26, Arturo Granados, 22, and Yesenia Granados, 24, were recently charged by the District Attorney’s Office in connection to the August murder — which authorities believe is gang-related — of Javier Limon, whose body was found with several gunshot wounds near Guadalupe Dunes. All three, who were arrested in September and booked into County Jail without bail, are next due in court on 10/31. Agustine and Arturo Granados both face charges of murder and special allegations of lying in wait, kidnap, torture, and committing murder for gang purposes. Yesenia Granados, Arturo’s sister, faces a count of being an accessory after the fact and a gang allegation.

Council Opts to Put Issue to Voters Next Year

F

BY N I C K W E L S H acing all-but-certain legal annihilation in the courts, the Santa Barbara City Council voted unanimously — though unhappily — to put the question of district elections before city voters next November. To the extent this declaration of surrender was made in hopes of appeasing former city attorney Barry Cappello, who represents the handful of Latino advocates now suing City Hall to change from at-large elections to district elections, it failed miserably.

On Sunday afternoon, Cappello emailed a scorching missive to current city attorney Ariel Calonne, charging that Calonne’s written recommendation to the council “is no different than the former Soviet Union recreating and re-writing history.” He lambasted Calonne’s recitation of recent council actions taken, regarding district elections as “a carefully crafted pack of lies,” not to mention a “calculated subterfuge done to deny Latino voters their lawful rights.”

Such rhetorical histrionics notwithstanding, Cappello and his clients clearly hold the winning hand. By that, it appears City Hall’s own experts have concluded that the disparity between white and Latino voters over the past 10 years constitutes “racially polarized voting.” Under California’s Voting Rights Act, the only legal remedy to such polarization is for cities with at-large electoral systems, like Santa Barbara’s, to change to district elections. Since 10

THE INDEPENDENT

1968, when at-large elections were last adopted by city voters, only five Latino candidates have been elected to the City Council. Currently, Latinos make up 38 percent of the city’s population and 19 percent of its voting-age adults. The only Mexican American to be elected in the past 20 years is Cathy Murillo.

Stylistically, Cappello objected that Calonne’s council report greatly exaggerated the degree of openness, engagement, and initiative the current councilmembers have shown toward district elections. “We’ve dragged you kicking and screaming to this issue,” he said. “And you don’t like it.” Certainly, Cappello is correct that the councilmembers could have placed the matter on this November’s ballot had they heeded district-election supporters. Given that there are no district-election supporters on the council, that deadline was allowed to lapse after the council deadlocked 3-3 over the issue. Councilmembers blamed their not pursuing the matter further on deadlines imposed by county elections, but county supervisors insisted no one from City Hall ever approached them to see if any accommodations could be made.

More crucially, Cappello has insisted City Hall need not place the matter before city voters at all, and that by doing so, the council is merely dragging its feet in an effort to forestall the inevitable. “We are not going to pass this off on the voters,” he hectored. But Calonne countered that, legally, the council could not adopt district

elections without first going to a vote of the residents. The only other option would be for the council to do nothing and allow a judge to issue such an order. And no one on the council was willing to go that route.“I’m not really interested in what a judge tells me. I’m interested in what the people of Santa Barbara think,” said Councilmember Dale Francisco. “That’s not because I’m a racist. It’s because I believe in democracy.”

Even more outspoken was Councilmember Murillo, who urged Cappello to be more gracious in victory. “Take it down a notch, okay?” she pointedly implored the legendary litigator.

Although Murillo is the most open member of the council to district elections, she hurled so many pointed remarks directly at Cappello — about the attorneys’ fees he stands to be awarded under state law — that Mayor Helene Schneider admonished her several times to direct her comments to the council not to Cappello. (During his time at the podium, Cappello had addressed that issue, stating,“That is an insult.”)

Murillo insisted the voters should be given first crack at the issue. In the 1990 race, district elections narrowly lost by just 400 votes. She speculated Cappello was worried about losing at the ballot box and then having to pursue the matter in court. “You don’t want to be the bad guy, but maybe you’re going to have to own it,” she said, adding, “You sued us; okay, I’m trying ■ to be cool about it.”

Sheriff Bill Brown spoke last Saturday afternoon at an ACLU-hosted discussion on the militarization of law-enforcement agencies, acknowledging the similarities between the military and the police but noting “very distinct differences” between the two. “We are in a defensive versus an offensive role,” Brown said, adding that “the rules of engagement are much stricter.” When asked if his department — which has received numerous pieces of surplus military equipment through the Department of Defense — has received any drones, Brown said no but that the Sheriff’s Office has been “experimenting” with, but hasn’t used operationally, one that is owned (and could be bought in a “hobby shop,” Brown said) by a deputy. The department also has a MRAP (mine-resistant ambush protected) vehicle, but it hasn’t been deployed and serves as a backup to the department’s armored BEAR (pictured). An itemized list of the department’s surplus equipment spans 58 pages; most of the pieces are helicopter- and medical-related.

Though gasoline prices dipped below $3 per gallon in 19 states this week, Santa Barbarans paid around $3.45, the lowest it’s been since early 2011. The cost to fill the tank has been declining since about July, according to MarketWatch.com, reflecting the decreasing price per barrel of oil from a high of $114 to its current dip into the $80s. Unleaded regular gasoline dropped by about 30 cents a gallon since last month, according to gasbuddy.com, moving down further since last week by about 10 cents to a statewide average of $3.39. On average, gas prices are about 35 cents lower than they were this time last year.

Defrocked Pastor Reinstated

Frank Schaefer (pictured), the Isla Vista Methodist pastor who was defrocked last year for officiating a wedding for his gay son in Pennsylvania, was formally reinstated by the highest court of the church on Monday. “It’s a strong signal by the Methodist Church that we will care for you,” said Schaefer, explaining that thousands of people in the LGBT community had eagerly awaited the ruling. “That is the real victory in it all.”

Schaefer learned of the decision Monday afternoon when he turned on his cell phone after landing in Denver from Wisconsin. “My phone lit up with all kinds of congratulatory messages,” he said.

He had appeared before the judicial council last Wednesday, which upheld an earlier finding to restore his credentials.

Schaefer has been in Isla Vista since July.

The decision is final, but Schaefer said the church has a long way to go in fully accepting the LGBT community. “It’s not done,” he said. “It’s far from being done.” Now, Schaefer is on his way back to Isla Vista, where he hopes to turn the little church located at 892 Camino del Sur into a blossoming parish. He also expressed gratitude for his family, supporters, and the LGBT community. “Without them, I couldn’t have done it,” — Kelsey Brugger he said.

Council Cracks Down on Street People

A

BY N I C K W E L S H s business on State Street pops with uncommon vitality, the Santa Barbara City Council this Tuesday was all about protecting the downtown cash cow from unseemly intrusions of at-times belligerently ill-mannered street people. In response to a mounting lobbying effort led by the Downtown Organization, the City Council agreed to spend $150,000 on a new cadre of not-quite police officers, who will be empowered to issue citations and wield pepper spray and Tasers — though only in self-defense — and carry police radios.

These new Community Service Officers will be paid $20 an hour to walk State Street, wear a uniform akin to those donned by animal patrol officers, and serve as the eyes and ears of the Police Department. If need be, they will be imbued with the training and legal authority to issue citations. But unlike sworn officers, they will not be allowed to use force to detain suspects.

The council’s actions came after protracted complaints leveled by Downtown Organization (DO) leaders past and present at the occasionally profane and violent behavior of young travelers. Longtime DO boardmember Michael Jordan objected that residents and visitors alike had been “conditioned to ignore abusive vulgar comments.” Maggie Campbell, the organization’s new executive director, opined, “There’s something wrong on State Street … a degree of unacceptable behavior occurring in our community’s living room.”

Even though the outcome of Tuesday’s deliberations was all but preordained, Councilmember Cathy Murillo — more inclined to support restorative policing approaches than muscular displays of police presence — chafed at the rhetoric. Responding to Campbell’s remarks, Murillo shot back, “There’s a lot right with our downtown, and I would like to hear about that, too.” She added, “I don’t appreciate exaggeration. I get it — you’re trying to argue a point, but it’s important to stick to the facts.”

But the fact is that during the last budget deliberations, the City Council had set aside $150,000 for greater police presence on State Street at the instigation of Councilmember Randy Rowse, a former member of the DO. Rowse and the DO wanted the money spent to hire private security officers, as is done in cities like Long Beach and Santa Monica. But

the politically influential Police Officers Association (POA) objected to the contracting out of a function typically the domain of the department.

The other problem was finances. A sworn officer costs $72 an hour. By contrast, a renta-cop costs $25. If private security wouldn’t fly with union-friendly councilmembers and brand-new cops were too expensive, the council instructed Police Chief Cam Sanchez in September to come up with a menu of other alternatives. Out of those planning gyrations the Community Service Officer concept emerged. This approach can provide up to 7,500 hours of patrol, at least on paper. It’s unclear the extent to which the $150,000 earmarked would cover the cost of bulletproof vests, Tasers, pepper spray, uniforms, and radios, or whether such additional expenses would eat into the one-time funds.

Earlier on Tuesday, the council’s Ordinance Committee hammered out more restrictive measures to limit active panhandlers from coming within 50 feet of people withdrawing cash from ATMs and extend the hours during which lying or sitting on city streets or sidewalks is banned. The current ordinance bans sidewalk sleeping from 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. The new language — if adopted by the council — would extend the ban to 2 a.m.

Longtime homeless rights advocate Peter Marin lambasted the “new war against the homeless.” Advocate Deborah Barnes dismissed as “ridiculous” further efforts to solve the problems of homelessness with law enforcement. She contended 79 percent of the targeted “young travelers” actually live in Santa Barbara and expressed doubt at any plan to chase them out of their hometown.

Such concerns did not hold much sway this Tuesday, and a 4-3 majority of the council voted to initiate authorizing the hiring of a new police officer. Mayor Helene Schneider and councilmembers Dale Francisco and Bendy White argued that such a decision should take place during budget deliberations, not in the heat of the moment. But Councilmember Gregg Hart led the charge for the new hire and won support from councilmembers Murillo, Rowse, and Frank Hotchkiss. A new police officer costs $150,000 a year, and the funds would have to come out of the city’s reserves. Currently, the department is authorized to maintain a 143-member force.

election

or one of the first times this century, the congressional race to represent the Central Coast might be just that — a race. During the first decade of the 2000s, the district was so gerrymandered that Democrats had about 22 percent more registered voters than Republicans did; it was dubbed the “Ribbon of Shame,” a narrow strip that stretched along the coast from Oxnard to Monterey. But since California redrew its congressional map a few years ago, the Dems now make up 37.5 percent of voters, just 3.4 percent more than Republicans. The rule of thumb is that a party needs a 5 percent or more advantage to be safe in an election.

Distinctive this year is that it’s a midterm election, and with a lackluster gubernatorial race, voter turnout is expected to be low.

That’s cause for concern for Representative Lois Capps, an unwavering Democrat who has represented the region since 1998. A longtime Santa Barbara resident and former school nurse, Capps won a special election after her husband, Walter Capps, suddenly died while in office. She defended her seat in a general election later that year and has been jetting to and from D.C. ever since.

In her eight victories, just three were considered competitive, based largely on the district’s demographics. Even so, in 2012, she crushed her Republican challenger Abel Maldonado — former lieutenant governor and Santa Maria mayor — by 9 percentage points.

This time around, Capps is challenged by Republican Chris Mitchum, a firm conservative who is backed by the Tea Party, a label Capps has highlighted. Mitchum has distanced himself from the Tea Party, contending that it is not a national organization but actually 3,000 different grassroots groups in the country. “I am a constitutional republican,” Mitchum said, clarifying he was referring to the “republic,” not the Republican Party. The Tea Party Express, a California activist group and political action committee, endorsed Mitchum this week.

Mitchum is perhaps best known for his acting career and his movie-star father, Robert

Mitchum. The younger Mitchum appeared in a number of Westerns, including Rio Lobo and Chisum. Following in the footsteps of actors who jump into Republican politics, Mitchum ran a tight race for the State Assembly in 1998.

He ran for the House in 2012 but lost in the primaries to Maldonado, who was criticized for voting with the Democrats in 2009 to implement the biggest tax hike in the state’s history.

“The party was not willing to unite behind Abel,” said GOP chapter chair Gregory Gandrud, but he claimed this race has been a “complete 180.” Others have seriously questioned the degree to which Mitchum will be able to attract moderate voters or those who declined to state a party preference, which makes up about 23 percent of voters in the district.

A week before the election, Republicans have a 3 percent lead over Democrats in voters who have already cast their ballot by mail.

Recent polling released by Mitchum, from the GOP polling firm Probolsky Research, indicates he leads the race by about one percentage point with a 4.9 percent margin of error. Capps does not release her polling data, though she said it’s going to be close.

Most critical may be San Luis Obispo residents, who comprise 43 percent of registered voters in the th District, with Dems making up 33 percent of the electorate to Republicans’ 39 percent. Twenty-one percent indicated no party preference. Perhaps that’s why both candidates spent time at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo last Friday — Capps at a talk with former White House press secretary Mike McCurry and Mitchum at a fraternity house barbecue.

On Monday, Mitchum was endorsed by House Majority leader Kevin McCarthy (who is from Kern County) at an event held at the Fess Parker DoubleTree attended by several dozen people, including Santa Barbara City Councilmember Dale Francisco and County Supervisor Peter Adam. McCarthy and Mitchum then moved on to attend a fundraising lunch in Montecito.

Santa Barbara County, which makes up 55 percent of the th, has 11 percent more registered Democrats than Republicans. The dis-

trict includes all of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties and roughly 5,700 voters in Ventura.

In fundraising, Capps, with $2 million in the bank, has outpaced Mitchum, who has just under $400,000. The difference is even more pronounced considering that more than $200,000 in Mitchum’s campaign piggy bank came from his own pocket.

Even before Mitchum won the Republican primary, Capps lit up the airwaves with television ads attacking him, contending he is an extreme Tea Partier who wants to abolish Social Security and Medicare. Mitchum, in turn, argued people are tired of negative advertisements, though he has consistently bashed Capps on Twitter, claiming she has done nothing in 16 years and almost always voted with Nancy Pelosi — creating the hashtag “PelosiPooch.” The two candidates have not publicly debated, though they disagree on perhaps every issue.

As for energy, Mitchum said drilling for oil is good for the economy and the ecology, pointing to low unemployment in North Dakota due to the state’s oil boom. He further contended drilling takes the pressure off of natural oil seepage. “Each year, we re-create the [1969] oil spill,” he said.“Year after year.” Regardless of the damage produced by the spill, Mitchum argued we haven’t had an accident since 1969.

“Wouldn’t you think we’ve figured out how to do it right?”

Capps, on the other hand, has consistently voted against oil drilling. When Republicans have introduced bills to expand offshore drilling — including off Santa Barbara’s coastline — Capps has offered amendments to study the impacts of drilling on the marine environments and to make the regulatory agencies more transparent. Such Republican bills have been proposed in the House each year since 2011, but none has passed the Senate.

Capps has not taken an official position on the county fracking and acidizing ban, or Measure P, calling it a “local issue,” but she said she is concerned about the impacts of fracking, particularly on the groundwater, on a federal level. Mitchum contended unconventional drilling occurs too far below the groundwater basin to be problematic. While Measure P has ignited progressives, it has also united conservatives and could motivate them to vote.

Concerns about greenhouse-gas emissions that are produced by cyclic steam injection have emerged because of Measure P. When asked

CLOSE CALL? Rep. Lois Capps is defending her seat from rightwing former actor Chris Mitchum.

Many question Mitchum’s ability to beat Capps, but others highlight incumbent fatigue occurring across the country and low turnout rates, which would favor Republicans.

about his stance on climate change, Mitchum said the climate is changing constantly and that we are going into another ice age. “To me it’s arrogant to say that mankind has influence over weather,” he added.“One volcano eruption puts more crap into the air than mankind does in a year … To talk about this being our fault, I seriously question that.”

Conversely, Capps has called climate change “one of the most serious environmental and economic challenges we face as a nation.”

Capps has three bills in the pipeline to address it, including grant funds for coastal regions and money to prepare for changes such as modernizing water infrastructure.

Mitchum is a strong advocate for state’s rights. He argued that universities, with their large endowments, should pick up the tab for students’ tuition. Then the Department of Education, which he argued has no constitutional foundation, should be eliminated. Capps disagrees. Of the $15 billion that the federal department gives to California each year, half goes to the federal student loan program. The other half provides for Pell Grants, special education monies, Title I grants, and others.

The list of differences goes on. Social Security? Capps wants to protect it from budget cuts. Mitchum calls for a quasi-privatized model in which young people could have the option of opening a private account. Immigration?

Capps, should she return to Washington, hopes to work on comprehensive immigration reform in the lame-duck session. Mitchum argues we have zero border protection, worse than in 1986 when the Immigration Reform and Control Act was passed. The Affordable Care Act? Capps supports it. Mitchum argues it must be repealed.

“Voters have a really clear choice,” Capps said. “We have such different priorities.” The media highlights that this Congress has been one of the least productive. “It’s not broken; it’s constipated,” said Mitchum, blaming Senate Majority leader Harry Reid for blocking bills. “The House is doing its job; when they go to the Senate, they hit a stone wall.” Capps acknowledged the “partisan atmosphere” but was proud of the fact that of the 53 bills that were signed into law, three were hers, including provisions to the bipartisan Farm Bill that strengthened organic labeling standards and the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act, which allows for research for organ transplants for people with HIV. ■

Lynne Dana Merenbach, Petersen // – //

Lynne passed away peacefully the morning of October , .

She was born in Hoosick Falls, New York, on November , , to Thomas and Jocelyn Petersen.

She was the eldest of six children and at an early age, stepped in to help her parents and beloved grandmother Esther raise her two younger brothers and the triplets, two girls and a boy who blessed the family in . This early responsibility surrounded by her loving family defined Lynne’s warmth, generosity and lifelong love of family celebrations.

In , the family moved to Goleta, and Lynne graduated from San Marcos High School in . Following high school, Lynne joined UCSB to pursue an administrative position in the office of the Chancellor. The role of Administrative Assistant proved to fall short of her desire to travel and see the world, so in  her father drove her to an interview for a job as a flight attendant for TWA. Of the many applicants, Lynne was the only candidate from Santa Barbara who was offered a job.

After completing her training in Kansas City, Missouri, she was stationed in San Francisco, where she launched a glamorous and exciting -year career of flying to some of the most exotic places on earth. Lynne loved her job, and

Death Notices Rose Marie Pedersen, , passed away in Santa Barbara on October nd, . Service information is pending.

Dominica A. Lombard, , passed away in Goleta on October th, . Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday at : am at St. Raphael’s Church, followed by interment at Calvary Cemetery.

traveled all over the world, visiting every important sight in every major city of the world. As a Flight Attendant, she would go on to log so many miles flying across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that she could have traveled to the moon and back ten times.

On one of her visits home in , Lynne met the love of her life, Dennis Merenbach. They married November , , in Santa Barbara, where they lived a happy and exciting life together filled with travel, adventure and a love of life.

Lynne developed a passion for sports and shared Dennis’ commitment and passion for his alma mater, USC. Together, they embraced the USC motto “Fight On”, attended many Rose Bowl games together and lived the USC motto to the fullest during the challenges that life inevitably presents. She also loved the NFL’s San Francisco ’ers and went to two of their most exciting Super Bowl games.

Not content with field sports alone, she also developed a love for sports cars and Formula One racing, having traveled to see races in many exotic cities of the world, including twice to the ne plus ultra of Formula One, Monte Carlo. When not enjoying the excitement of watching Formula One with Dennis, they were often found touring in their Corvette and spending time with their good friends in the Santa Barbara Corvette Club.

But Lynne’s greatest passion was for her family. She dearly loved her husband, his children, her parents and her three brothers and two sisters. She loved to have her family close and host celebrations of life’s big events.

Being the most gracious hostess and gourmet cook, Lynne loved to entertain and decorate her home during the holidays. One of Lynne’s happiest times of the year was when her family and all their children gathered to celebrate Christmas together. Her Christmas trees decorated in all their splendor with beautiful ornaments from around the world always delighted the children and made their anticipation of opening presents that much sweeter.

Lynne was most loved, had the biggest, most generous heart, and always wore a smile that was full of Life.

Lynne passed away on October , , one month before her th birthday and her th wedding anniversary.

“Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings in the heavens through which our loved ones pour out their love and let us know they are happy.”

Lynne is survived by her husband, and her two stepchildren, Michael William Merenbach (Vickie) and Ogden Susan Merenbach; her brothers, Leif Petersen (Dana), Lloyd Petersen (Helen) and Thomas Petersen (Jennifer); her sisters Tina Perkins (Rick) Thea Townsendj and her many nephews and nieces, Brett Townsend, Britta Petersen, Cole Petersen, Addison, Andrew and Samantha Hunter, Louisa Petersen Breakey (Matson), and Kirstie Petersen Miller (Robert).

In celebration of Lynne’s life, there will be private memorial, and her ashes will join her father and mother off the coast of their home in Santa Barbara.

In lieu of flowers, the family humbly requests a memorial donation be made to the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara.

Politics and ‘Paper Terrorism’ Pair of Sovereign Citizens on Trial for False Lien on Judge’s Home

D

BY T Y L E R H AY D E N

emocracy may not be on trial, but Tom Murphy and Jeff Lind are. The two have ties to the antigovernment “sovereign citizen” movement and are accused of conspiring to file a false lien against the Solvang home of a Santa Barbara County judge in a lengthy and bizarre series of legal challenges and political protests that dates back to 2010. They each face felony counts and maximum sentences of three years and eight months in prison, and their trial is scheduled to start this week.

The saga began when Lind, a marketing executive who lives in Orcutt and works in nearby San Luis Obispo, allegedly threatened a police officer who had arrested his son for driving under the influence. Lind was charged with witness intimidation and ordered to appear before Judge Kay Kuns. Claiming to

phy and Lind’s defense that they truly believe the court has no jurisdiction over them, pointing to a 2008 case in which Lind pleaded to a “wet and reckless” charge — a reckless driving charge with minor drug or alcohol involvement — and accepted a probation sentence.

Their intent all along, he argued, was simply to distract and deflect with “spurious gibberish.”

Cota also noted that the names of dozens of people with bare involvement in the case — from Sheriff Bill Brown to county administrative staffers — appear in filings and online postings created by the pair. Some of the documents are labeled with assault weapon models, and many contain veiled threats, Cota said. On Monday, Murphy and/ or Lind distributed fake arrest warrants for Cota, DA Joyce Dudley, Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, and others. The warrants were issued by Murphy’s fabricated organization,

‘I perceive it as a witch hunt.’

— Defense attorney Robert Landheer, arguing his client is being prosecuted because of his political beliefs. not recognize the court’s authority over him, Lind — with help from Murphy, a dogged sovereign citizen crusader living in Los Osos at the time — loosed an avalanche of filings and paperwork claiming $77 million in damages against Kuns for violating his rights.

Authorities in similar cases around the country have termed the tactic “paper terrorism” meant to harass and frustrate court systems and county counsel offices and used to retaliate against what sovereign citizens perceive as governmental overreach. No matter how ridiculous the documents may read, they still must be vetted for legal significance or potential liability. Just two weeks ago, a 44-year-old Chicago woman who had joined the movement was sentenced to 10 years in prison for filing a series of bogus liens against a number of the city’s judges and prosecutors.

In September, a Georgia sovereign citizen was convicted for the same crimes. On the issue of liens, which can be filed by anyone under the Uniform Commercial Code regardless of validity, the target often takes a hit on his or her credit rating and must endure a painstaking process to have the lien removed.

In this case, Santa Barbara prosecutor Brian Cota contends that Murphy and Lind tried to file the lien against Kuns’s home in an “extortion-like attempt” to get Lind’s witness intimidation charge case dismissed, not because they thought they had a legitimate claim over the property. Cota dismissed Mur-

the National Standards Enforcement Agency out of Missouri that purports to convene its own Grand Jury.

During pretrial motions this week, Judge Jean Dandona ruled that because of the pair’s “extraordinary history” of perceived harassment, jurors would be referred to not by name but by number. Such unusual restrictions are normally reserved for gang trials. Defense attorneys Jeff Chambliss, representing Lind, and Robert Landheer, representing Murphy, objected to the decision, saying their clients pose no threat to jurors or anyone else. While neither defendant has a history of physical aggression, the sovereign citizen movement’s reputation for occassional violence has prompted a security increase in the courtroom and at the DA’s Office.

In his comments to Dandona, Landheer often suggested that the trial could — and indeed, should — include discussion around his client’s political ideology as it would be central to the legal argument over intent. He said his client has been unfairly labeled by the DA’s Office as a “domestic terrorist” and that he believes Murphy’s prosecution is a “witch hunt.”“It is a political case,” he declared, “and I will say it as many times as I can.” Dandona disagreed, ruling Landheer must stick to addressing the specific charges and that he can’t bring politics into the proceedings.“The issues are narrow,” she said. “I don’t believe democracy is on trial.”

Sleep with Dogs, Wake with Fishes

MINDING YOUR P’S AND S’S: It may well be

the case that money can’t buy love — or even happiness — but in the field of politics, it can be counted on to secure the next best thing: elections. As reporter Lyz Hoffman chronicles elsewhere in this issue, the fight over Measure P — the anti-steam-injection oil-drilling ballot measure — has set new land speed records when it comes to campaign spending. If area obscenity laws still had any teeth, California’s oil industry would have been found guilty of pornography a long time ago, having shelled out nearly $8 million thus far in a relentless campaign exaggeration, misinformation, and other variants of the wet-your-pants hysteria. The Oil Industry insists that Measure P is part of a creeping global conspiracy to shut down all oil production everywhere, starting right here in Santa Barbara. If only that were true. Sadly, it ain’t. The Big Irony is that if the Oil Industry had agreed to spend even a small fraction of its antiP campaign budget to mitigate and offset the greenshouse gases produced — in alarming profusion — by cyclic steam injection wells, there would never have been a Measure P. When you cast your ballot, keep in mind that cyclic steaming generates about four times the volume of greenhouse gases that traditional oil-extraction technologies do. That’s why the Climate Change crowd is so up in arms. But in the first test case, Santa Maria Energy — that’s the company with the honeycomb corporate logo whose mucketymucks likens the energy-intensive technology

to popping one’s honey into the microwave so it can be smoothly spread onto one’s toast — had unleashed a fecal firestorm of Biblical proportions when county supervisors required such mitigations take place. The total cost of such offsets, if I recall, was a few hundred thousand bucks. In the context of the massive industrial operations envisioned by Santa Maria Energy, that doesn’t qualify even as chump change. If Pratt et al really want to squawk about paying a marginal amount for cleaner air, then maybe he shouldn’t produce honey so hard it has to be nuked first. If Measure P loses as prognosticators predict, proponents should figure out what they could have done better, lick their wounds, and then prepare to do battle two years hence when the presidential contest will bring to the polls vast numbers of environmentally minded voters.

The other ballot measure giving me fits is Measure S, a $288 million construction bond for City College. In a more perfect world, The College — as it’s known — would have waited two years before unleashing this on South Coast voters. In that time, Lori Gaskin — the whirling dervish running The College — would have made a much clearer case how that money will be spent, why it’s needed, and far more importantly, how she and The College will be reaching out to the surrounding neighborhoods to address the serious negative impacts the school’s dramatic growth is inflicting. Measure S, I am told, will probably pass. City College is, after

all, a genuinely awesome educational operation, and Gaskin is likewise a genuinely awesome administrator seized by a genuine zeal for City College’s educational mission. I worry, however, she’s only just beginning to genuinely understand the hardships her college is causing. Gaskin is to be applauded for restarting the Neighborhood Task Force to explore these issues. But given the serious magnitude of the problems involved, the public rollout should have been a much grander production, more on the scale of a full symphony orchestra on speed rather than a few folky hipster street musicians playing for spare change. Hey, it’s a start. In the meantime, owners of apartment complexes near The College wake up every day having just won the lottery. Where the norm used to be two tenants sharing a room, each paying about $500, the new reality is now three beds to a room at $750 per bed. Ka-Ching! With a vacancy rate hovering at 0.6 percent, that’s a serious ouch.

That a number of large rental complexes on the lower West Side have been taken over entirely by international students enrolled at the Kaplan foreign language school, which, it turns out, pays City College $600,000 for campus space, only exacerbates the town-n-gown tensions. According to Task Force member Beebe Longstreet, police reported 160 calls for service from one of these complexes in the past 18 months. Most involved late-night loud parties. The noise ordinance in San Luis Obispo carries fines as high as $350. Maybe Santa Barbara should follow suit.

Maybe it’s also time, as longtime housing agitator Mickey Flacks suggested, that City Hall require landlords to pay relocation assistance for tenants forced to move because of escalating rents. When Longstreet asked a couple of City College students living next door to cool it with the free-flowing profanity when grandkids were around, they reportedly dropped the C-bomb on her. Not good. Not good, either, when Task Force member Mark Taylor came home one night to discover that a City College student living down Oceano Avenue from him had chucked a rock through his front window. The student, it turns out, was miffed because he’d been braced earlier that day by other neighbors pissed about his reckless driving. Having to get to class on time, the student didn’t have time for a throw down.

So he came back later armed for bear. Turns out he thought the person confronting him about his driving lived in Taylor’s home. Oops. Wrong House. Hey, to err is human, right? Clearly, City College can’t fix everything alone. But Gaskin needs to be as passionate about finding shared solutions as she is about her school’s mission. I’d suggest she use some of the $288 million in Measure S Prize Patrol Money to launch a major Reach Out campaign. For starters, she should hire a big hall somewhere downtown and invite everyone to a Big League gripe fest. If nothing else, it could be a helluva party. Maybe there’d be so much noise we’d have to call the cops. In the meantime, see you on Election Day, and don’t — Nick Welsh forget to vote.

Proposition 1: Yes

W

hen Heal the Ocean read The Indy’s recommendation for a “no” vote on Prop. , the $7.5 billion Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act (“Water Bond”) on the November 4 ballot, it nearly broke our hearts.

We agree that building new dams is no good for the environment, but the proposition includes water storage in reservoirs, which we need to hold fresh and recycled water, and reservoir expansion, including de-silting Gibraltar and Jameson so they can hold more water

when the rains finally come. When it comes to dams, the bond does not say they will be built, and Heal the Ocean believes any proposed dam will fail to get past CEQA. Maybe we are naïve, but saying “no” to Prop.  throws $7.5 billion down the drain, a loss of desperately needed funding for conservation, reuse, and recycling. The $725 million for recycling projects in this bond is crucially needed to convert wastewater into recycled water for use on land! And it also keeps wastewater out of the ocean.

The rest of the bond goes to improve water quality; reduce and prevent drinking water contaminants; ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration projects; regional water management plan projects; and cleaning up contaminated groundwater. How can we say “no” to this? Heal the Ocean urges a “yes” vote on Proposition !

ep. Lois Capps, some questions as to your seeking a ninth term: Are you the person for us? As a member of the constitutional body that approves and controls spending and debt, what efforts have you made to stop deficit spending? Our growing national debt, now $17.865 trillion, is imposed on us, our children, grandchildren, and future generations. We are the greatest debtor nation in history.

Respecting the growing unfunded mandates (Social Security, $15.110 trillion; Medicare, $80.010 trillion; prescription drugs, $20.101 trillion: total $115.221 trillion), how are they going to be protected and paid for? Do you understand the Affordable Care Act’s negative results to our nation’s health-care system respecting cost, affordability, accessibility, quality of care? Are you aware that the unemployed work participation rate, 62.7 percent, is at its lowest level in 30 years and that a record 44.4 million citizens are living in poverty? And 46.3 million are receiving food stamps, and middle-class family income is at 1997 purchase value levels.

What are your plans for increasing economic growth and high-paying, full-time employment, with real benefits, for both men and women? Our youth, with their record-high unemployment rates, especially college students, have student loan debt that exceeds $1.3 trillion.

The Bellosguardo Foundation should deliberately throw open the doors of this magnificent estate to interested Santa Barbarans via a time-limited series of afternoon open houses. The public could be “crowd sourced” for a much wider range of suggestions and ideas. Ms. Clark assigned this property to function as a public trust, and it is most appropriate that the public next be consulted before further strategies and decisions on its uses —Richard J.

Keeping Our Promises to Fix Highway 101 Delaying Widening with Lawsuits Will Cost Millions

E

BY S A L U D C A R B A JA L , JA N E T W O L F, M I C H A E L B E N N E T T, AND A L C L A R K

very day, tens of thousands of South Coast residents are negatively impacted by the gridlock on Highway . Some sit idly for hours in frozen traffic; others endure the resulting congestion on our neighborhood streets, while our county suffers as a whole from the negative air quality and restricted flow of goods and services. This situation has become intolerable in recent years and is one of the few downsides to life in our beautiful community.

In response, in 2008, the voters of Santa Barbara County passed Measure A by a whopping 79 percent to widen and improve the . Following the passage of Measure A and its related funding, it became incumbent on us as elected officials to implement this vitally needed public works project.

Significant progress has been made, but a recent lawsuit will likely delay and increase the costs of the widening project — possibly by tens of millions of dollars. There has also been a recent op-ed by the mayor of Santa Barbara that has encouraged such lawsuits.

It is important to clarify that the state and federal gas-tax funds that are being used as a portion of the funding for the widening cannot be used for local road maintenance. They are for regional transportation improvements, and their specific use must be approved by the state.

It is also untrue to suggest that we cannot continue the design and permitting process until the final phase of the project is fully funded. The process and manner in which our local  widening is being funded and implemented is consistent with how ALL major transportation improvements are done throughout our state and nation.

Where we are today is the result of 12 years of community conversations and planning, beginning with a stakeholder process called  In Motion that was initiated by the Santa Barbara Association of Governments (SBCAG) in 2002 and involved a diverse range of interested parties throughout the Central Coast. Eventually, consensus was reached to widen Highway  to three lanes in both directions between Ventura and Santa Barbara, implement commuter rail service in the corridor, and enhance existing commuter bus service. In 2005, the SBCAG board voted unanimously to adopt this plan. In 2008, the SBCAG board, every city in the county, and a wide array of stakeholders agreed on a balanced plan to renew our local transportation sales tax as a match to fund a range of transportation improvements, including local road maintenance, commuter rail, and bike paths — with $140 million dedicated to the  widening as the highest-priority project.

Phase  of the widening from Santa Barbara into Montecito was completed ahead

of schedule in 2012. Phase  of the widening from Ventura County to Casitas Pass in Carpinteria is currently under construction using a state grant that our two counties secured. In fact, we recently celebrated the completion of the dedicated bike lane from Mussel Shoals to Carpinteria, and the new third lane between the two counties is also partially open, with the whole project scheduled to be completed next year. Next up are improvements to the interchanges in Carpinteria, which, pending resolution of some remaining issues, are scheduled for construction in 2016. Finally, the preliminary design and environmental review process has been completed for the critical widening of the remaining 10-mile gap between Carpinteria and Montecito.

The design and environmental review process of this last part was put on hold for almost a year to allow the design team to analyze and provide feedback on alternatives proposed by some residents in Montecito that would have retained left-hand-lane ramps. Ultimately, the director of Caltrans and Governor Jerry Brown’s office ruled that these were not viable. In January, our SBCAG board voted 11-2 to move forward while continuing to address concerns that had been raised.

Given the history of process and promises made in regard to widening the , it is impera-

tive that we continue to move forward in a spirit of cooperation. Delays will result in raising costs exponentially and cause unnecessary hardship to residents, businesses, visitors — and our local economy.

That is why our SBCAG board has hired an independent consultant to work through any remaining design issues with Caltrans. We also realize that related local infrastructure challenges continue to exist and need to be worked out to everyone’s satisfaction, and we have initiated parallel projects, including improvements to the San Ysidro Interchange, a roundabout at Olive Mill/Coast Village Road, replacement of the Cabrillo Railroad Bridge, and Phase III projects.

We remain committed to working with all stakeholders to move the  widening forward as quickly as possible in a way that resolves remaining issues, maintains the character of our community, and finally addresses the traffic congestion that so adversely impacts all our lives.

The authors are all members of the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG): Salud Carbajal, 1st District county supervisor; Janet Wolf, 2nd District county supervisor; Michael Bennett, mayor of the City of Goleta; and Al Clark, councilmember for the City of Carpinteria.

Donʼt Be Fooled!

Big Oil has a hidden agenda. It isn’t schools, jobs or firefighters they are worried about.

They have spent over $7 million to defeat Measure P because they want to drill ten times the number of oil wells we have in Santa Barbara County.

They are counting on unlimited access to our precious fresh water for fracking, acidizing and steam injection, without regard for the devastating health and environmental consequences when, not if, things go wrong.

Measure P will prevent an oil boom that would employ these wasteful, high-intensity extraction methods.

Measure P will keep oil and gas production in check, and protect our water, air, health and climate.

Measure P will help us focus on clean energy and preserve our agriculture, tourism and quality of life.

Only your Yes on P vote will keep Santa Barbara County from becoming another casualty of Big Oil’s greed.

Measure P: Anti-Fracking and HighIntensity Extraction Initiative — Yes

hough we can certainly talk ourselves out of a vote for P, the mea-

Now available at independent.com

sure is a positive way forward while a vote against it is nothing more than a ringing endorsement of the status quo. And we all know where that is going to get us: extinct. Flawed though it might be — and, gasp! even if it is written by out-of-towners — Measure P moves in the right direction of what we must do to stop the rising temperatures and sea levels of climate change — a policy sorely lacking from our elected leaders.

No matter how perfectly crafted a measure like P might be, a billionaire industry that feels itself in peril will mobilize legal challenges. We must not let the possibility of lawsuits deter us — not when the stakes are so high. Laws like Measure P have always been necessary to force changes that industry resists: The Clean Air Act was written in the 1960s, spurred by the legislation of local governments. Even today, when the Environmental Protection Agency issues Clean Air Act regulations, industry lawyers file suit to tame them. But legal cases and lawsuits have shaped our world today, and often the greater good wins — the Civil Rights Act, Roe v. Wade, sexual preference rights, and other essential laws, for instance, have all been challenged in court and prevailed.

Smoggy brown skies during the ’60s and ’70s were visual proof of what the burning of oil produced — and still produces. Dangerously elevated ozone levels blanketed the county one hot weekend early in October, making it hard to breathe, even here in our seaside town. Less visible is the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by our industriousness. The warming of the Earth from increasing CO2 has been measured at Mauna Loa Observatory since 1958 — 315 parts per million (ppm) in the air back then. On a day in May 2013, it surpassed 400 ppm. Then, for the first time, an entire month was above 400 ppm — April 2014. Carbon dioxide is accumulating far faster than scientists thought it would; the planet is warming faster, too.

Measure P addresses those concerns by blocking new cyclic steam injection projects, the oil-extraction method of choice here. Cyclic steam injection produces four times the greenhouse gases of conventional oil drilling. Waiting until 2016 to act, as some counsel, is yet another in a multitude of delays to deal with this man-made crisis. The statistics are scary. If we continue to put off until tomorrow the end of our carbon dependence, within a couple of decades, rising global temperatures are expected to reach a tipping point for polar ice that will lead to irreversible climatic changes. The effect on food production, which often relies on seat-of-the-pants weather forecasts, is unimaginable.

Oil has peaked, giving ever-diminishing returns and demanding evermore-complex methods of extraction. Here in Santa Barbara, we don’t produce that much petroleum, not compared to Saudi Arabia or Mexico.

But even here, where profits are measured in millions, not billions, those profits that oil companies reap would be far better spent on a clean-energy moneymaker. The many issues surrounding Measure P — clean water, greenhouse gases (GHGs), the lack of clean energy sources — focus attention from beyond county borders on the dire needs that face all of us — if not fossil fuels, what will provide electricity for future generations? When we vote for Measure P, what will we each do to reduce our fossil-fuel dependence?

The European Union, representing countries heavily dependent on foreign oil, just agreed to a 40 percent reduction in GHGs by 2030. It’s on track to meet its 2020 goal of 20 percent less than 1990 emissions (the international standard). The second biggest polluter in the world — that would be us, the United States — had emissions in 2012 that were 4.3 percent higher than 1990’s. Not only is Europe outstripping us in reducing emissions, but their 2030 target is expected to reduce foreign imports of oil by €285 billion.

Countries like Germany single-handedly push their economies into wind and solar. Where is the Manhattan Project to brainstorm clean energy into affordable existence here in the U.S.?

But first, let’s make sure there’s clean water and air for the coming generations. Let’s support this most minimal of efforts to curb the changing weather patterns that alarm us. We do not stand to lose very much from the rising seas, not compared to Bangladesh or the Marshall Islands. But we know — it is on our conscience — that there is a connection between what we do here in our county and what happens globally. It was like that in 1969; it’s like that today.

“Yes” on Measure P is the only option worth voting for if you care about ■ the future.

Dead On Milpas

Santa Barbara Bowl and Its Día de los Muertos Revival bby

COVE STORR Y

SLEEP WHEN YOU’RE DEAD: The S.B. Bowl is holding its second annual Día de los Muertos celebration this weekend with a culturally rich observance of the holiday, complete with legendary Latin rockers Café Tacvba and a long list of pop-up performances and art installations around the venue like traditional Aztec dancers (pictured above during last year’s show) and the Day of the Dead coffee drawing (below) by Michael Matheson.

F

OR those in attendance, last November 1 at the Santa Barbara Bowl got weird — truly and wonderfully weird. The sandstone-studded castle of rock ’n’ roll atop Milpas Street was transformed that night into an otherworldly version of itself.

The shadows grew darker as a creepy air of unexpectedness settled in. Employees and volunteers alike donned sugar-skull face paint, sculpted skeletons more than 20 feet tall rose up from the floor, Aztec dancers mystically gathered in the courtyard, a flash mob of zombies and calaveras broke into a rendition of “Thriller” near the main stage. Then, of course, there was Tame Impala and the Flaming Lips, the two bands delivering power-packed and stirring psychedelic performances, the latter taking things to a whole new level of spooky when frontman Wayne Coyne kicked off his set by “giving birth” onstage and being showered in blood by a Miley Cyrus lookalike riding a man in a bear suit just before having cannons blast the entire place with a pink confetti blizzard. It was the Bowl’s first ever celebration of Día de los Muertos, and it was a fantastic and stirring success.

I will never forget winding my way out of the show that night, drifting along as if in a spell, and coming upon the warm glow of a large ofrenda in Jerry’s Glen. The altar, which featured photographic tributes to all the artists who had played on the Bowl’s stage at one point in their careers but had since moved on to that big music venue in the sky, had a small and solemn crowd around it. Alf and a few skeletons and a Jamaican bobsledder stood alongside a handful of other more normally dressed people, the eclectic gathering universally transfixed.

The heavy quiet of the scene was mesmerizing, the world feeling eerily new and comforting all at once. It was then, pausing ourselves to take in the display, that my wife squeezed my hand and spoke softly in my ear, “Wow, this is incredible. I hope they do this again.”

SOWING E SEEDS OF TRADION What often gets overlooked in the Bowl’s annual lineup of music and the scores of area and interloping concertgoers buzzing around it is the fact that the venue itself was never intended to be what it is today. More than 75 years ago, a team of visionaries, working to help rebuild Santa Barbara in the wake of the devastating 1925 earthquake, handpicked the location, then an otherwise nondescript 17-acre swath of creek-kissed and oak- and sycamore-dappled hills known as Quail Canyon, to be built out as a community gathering place and epicenter for the then-fledgling Old Spanish Days Fiesta celebrations. Eventually money from President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal made it possible, and in 1936, the Bowl was built. Soon enough, the open-air, coliseumlike structure with a large rotating wooden stage at its center was the home of Fiesta. And so it went for the early years at the Bowl that torch-toting men on horseback would ride into the amphitheater during elaborate bacchanals at the close of Fiesta each year. The community was invited to the celebration, and numerous others like it throughout the year. It was a far cry from the sold-out $150-a-ticket shows that attract deep-pocketed music lovers nowadays, accounting for much of the Bowl’s annual lineup.

“The Bowl was created to be the home of Fiesta, a true community gathering place,” explained Moss Jacobs in between bites of a fish taco while sitting on the outside patio of The Shop Café on Milpas Street a few weeks back. As the VP of talent for Nederlander Concerts, the outfit that books all of the Bowl’s shows, Jacobs is one of the masterminds behind the venue’s second annual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebra-

tions. “The idea is to put on a show that gets back to that, to those roots and the community we are in,” added Jacobs with a motion of his hands, gesturing toward the bustling and largely Latino Eastside neighborhood that surrounded us. To that end, he teamed up with longtime friend and part-time S.B. resident Nicole Alejandra Pierpont to organize last year’s inaugural event, Jacobs providing the muscle power and industry savvy to make the concert possible while Pierpont maintained the heart and soul of the operation.

Born on November 1 to an El Salvadorian mom and Mexican-American dad and raised throughout Central America, Pierpont has long known the wonders and importance of multigenerational remembrance and celebration.

“The holiday has always had a lot of meaning for me,” said Pierpont with a smile and a marked hint of understatement during that same lunch.“I think I have been talking to Moss about trying to do something like this here at the Bowl since I met him 15 years ago.”

And so, with Pierpont living in the southernmost parts of Baja, Mexico, the duo co-conspired to celebrate the Day of the Dead with last year’s Flaming Lips/Tame Impala show. The bands were booked, and with less than four weeks’ notice, Pierpont arranged for all the other elements to come together, from the facepainting and dancing to the skull-bedazzled lowrider bicycle display and the altar in the Glen.“I was still living in Mexico, so last year was more of an experiment than anything, to see if people would actually be interested in participating,” she said.

“This year we are taking all of that magic that happened and turning it up. Way up.”

First off, while Tame Impala and the Lips (the latter especially) were more than game to play up the Día de los Muertos vibe, the two are not necessarily the first bands that come to mind when booking talent for a proper Day of the Dead show.

october 30, 2014

This year, however, Jacobs was in perfect step with the cultural bend of the holiday when he signed on legendary Mexican rock outfit Café Tacvba to headline this Saturday’s show, a group that not only has a musical relevance over the past three decades that is surpassed by few others in the international industry but also is considered, by those in the know, as quite a coup to be playing a venue as intimate as the Bowl. Joining them on the bill is Los Angeles–based Chicano folk rockers Las Cafeteras, an act that purely captivates and motivates some serious ass shaking (no matter your language barrier), as well as the always energetic and genre-busting, multicultural dance party makers Ozomatli and Ventura’s Veracruz harp-led ambient rockers Hy Brasil (led by Xoco Moraza of Rey Fresco fame).

And, as if that weren’t enough titillation for your ears, longtime KPFK disc jockey Carlos Niño will be spinning his trademark blend of mystical Día de los Muertos beats (he has been hosting an annual Day of the Dead radio show for years) in the Glen during set breaks.

“This is definitely a dream lineup for the occasion,” said Jacobs, something I considered to be a throwaway sort of qualifier from a promoter until just a few days later when, while waiting to order some late-morning eats at Tacos El Rey on Haley Street, I watched a man and a woman both break into disbelieving joy after reading the lineup out loud to each other off a flyer on the restaurant’s wall. I cannot be certain, but I suspect that was the first time that couple had been screech-outloud-in-public excited about a Bowl show.

SKULLS and WHISTLES

But the music is only half of it. Since the end of last year’s show, Pierpont has been working overtime to elevate the 2014 edition into a full-bore cultural event.

The Bowl will once again be decked out in traditional Día de los Muertos decorations thanks to artists like Eric Lehman, Michael Matheson, Armando de la Rocha, and a few of Solstice’s big hitter puppeteers. Face painting will be available for those wishing to be transformed. The altar paying homage to musicians past will be back in the Glen, along with several others made by a variety of area organizations such as the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Mariachi Festival, KCSB . FM, Casa Dolores, Art from Scrap, and the Adelante Charter School. (As an added bonus — and as means to make the event more accessible to those who may not be able to afford the cover charge — the Glen and the baker’s dozen of custom-crafted community altars will be open to the public free of charge on the afternoon of Sunday, November 2.)

A seldom-seen collection of larger-than-life Fiesta masks from the mid-20th century will be on display thanks to the Profant Foundation. Ben Aparicio will once again be bringing a team of fully costumed Aztec dancers, and there will also be a traditional Los Chinelos de Morelos dance performance. Even the zombies of World Dance for Humanity will be back for a surprise show at some point in the evening, along with wandering mariachi bands and a handful of other undisclosed potentially magic g moments.

MAGIC AND MAYHEM ABOUND: From celebrated harpist Xoco Moraza (bottom) and his band Hy Brasil to surprise dance performances and wandering mariachi bands and a Glen full of carefully curated oferendas, the Bowl’s Día de los Muertos event promises to deliver art of all kinds for people of all ages while properly celebrating those who have left us too soon.

4•1•1

“The performances aren’t just limited to the stage on a night like Día de Los Muertos,” said Pierpont.

P erpont.“They can happen Pi anywhere. aan nywhere.”

Also planned is a costumed costumeed bike that bikke ride à la Bike Moves tha at will start s art at 3 p.m. at Vera Cruz Park st Paark and and finish in the Bowl parking parkin ng lot just ju ust prior to the concert’s kickoff kickkoff.

The haunted pedal will feature featu ure a rolling escort from the Brawlin’ Brawllin’ Betties and free tickets to thee show for the best three costumes in attendance. Santa Barbara High School’s S hool’s Don Riders will also be Sc on on the the scene with a display of custom, tricked-out lowrider rider bicycles, complete with welded skulls, Day of the Dead–inspired paint jobs, and a large coffin and mirror display that has to be seen to be truly appreciated.

The involvement of the Don Riders, a popular skill-building and mentor program for at-risk students, is the perfect example of what Jacobs, Pierpont, and company are trying to accomplish with the event.

“We did a small presentation last year, just threw a couple bikes up and made things looks eerie,” said the Riders’ faculty liaison Pedro Menchaca.

“The kids had a blast showing off their work and being at the Bowl, Bowl so we decided to take it to the next level this year. They are pretty excited. … Lots of these kids know about the Bowl, walk by it every day, and hear music coming out of it at night, but they’ve never actually been inside. Now they get to go there and be a part of it. It’s a pretty cool thing. I mean, we’re already working on next year’s.”

And the Riders aren’t the only ones eyeing Día de los Muertos 2015. Even Jacobs and Pierpont, though still very much in the throes of putting this year’s event together, have focused their attention on the next phase of this fast-forming Bowl tradition “Our vision for 2015 is to have a return of the torch-light processional. Can you imagine that?” beamed Jacobs as he finished his tacos.“A parade of skeletons and hundreds of torches coming up Milpas toward the Bowl on the Day of the Dead — how cool would that be?”

The Santa Barbara Bowl’s second annual Día de Los Muertos Celebration featuring Café Tacvba, Ozomatli, Las Cafeteras, Hy Brasil, Carlos Niño, and DJ Tropicaza takes place Saturday, November , at  p.m. For tickets and info, call - or visit sbbowl.com.

BOUGHT? The oil industry is spending a record $7.7 million in an effort to defeat Measure P and misinform voters. Listen to trusted local experts instead: Jobs are safe: “Existing operations will not be impacted by Measure P. Any new regulation only operates prospectively, and cannot apply to operations that are currently legal and permitted. Therefore, Measure P will not affect existing jobs or revenue.” –Linda Krop, Chief Counsel, EDC

Revenue is safe: “Measure P will not affect the Fire Department’s budget. Measure P only prevents the drilling of new wells using fracking, steam injection, and acidizing, so it doesn’t affect current oil revenue. Furthermore, oil industry revenue is a very small part of the county budget.” –Wes Herman, Retired County Fire Captain, Petroleum Review Officer

Water is at risk: “Contamination to above-ground and belowground water supplies has happened in every part of the country where these operations take place.”

–Lauren Hanson, VP, Goleta Water Board & President, Cachuma Operation & Maintenance Board

Thousands of risky wells: “The easy oil is long gone. Extraordinary measures like cyclic steam injection and even horizontal well fracking are needed to expand. If we don’t pass Measure P, I foresee uncontrolled industrial havoc in our county.”

–Bruce Luyendyk, Professor Emeritus, former Chair of the Department of Earth Science, UCSB

Oil is a global commodity: “What happens in Santa Barbara county alone will have none or negligible effect on US imports of oil or oil products.” –Charles D. Kolstad, Ph.D., Professor, Stanford University & UCSB Dept of Economics

Climate Change IS a big deal: “My endorsement of Measure P is based upon my commitment to support the county’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and use of fossil fuels.”

Science

Finding Energy from the Sun

Researchers have recently discovered a new material that has promising solar-cell properties. It falls into a class of inorganic compounds called perovskites, and its discovery has prompted an explosion of solar-cell research at institutions all over the world, including UCSB. Many factors go into making a good solar cell.

Ideally, it should be inexpensive, made of safe and environmentally friendly materials, high performing, durable, and easy to install. Producing a commercially viable solar cell is a balancing act between all of these different factors, and perovskite solar cells show potential for achieving this equilibrium.

The perovskite that has shown the most promising results is made of common, inexpensive materials. Two of these chemicals — methylamine and hydriodic acid — may be familiar to Breaking Bad fans as they are found in the makeup of meth.

While these chemicals are regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency, they are not expensive and, when combined with lead chloride, produce a perovskite material for solar cells rather than an illegal drug. (If only Walter White and Jesse Pinkman had made solar cells instead of drugs.)

To create solar cells, the perovskite starting materials are dissolved in common solvents (non-water-based liquids) to form an ink that can be printed as a film onto a roll of solar panels. To produce the ink, methylamine and hydriodic acid are first mixed to form a salt. This salt is combined with lead chloride powder and one of

several solvent options to form the ink. Changing the amount of material used and the solvent causes the solar cell properties, such as the thickness of the printed film, to change. Solar cell films must be sufficiently thick to absorb the maximum amount of solar energy and achieve high performance. Printed perovskite layers are very thin (less than one millimeter), making them lightweight and flexible and therefore easily installed on rooftops or even tents without adding any extra structural support.

Solar cells also have to perform effectively, which is measured by their efficiency in converting light into electricity. Recently reported efficiencies (~17 percent) for this new material match those of commercially available silicon solar cells (14-19 percent).

More work is necessary before perovskite solar cells reach the mainstream market. For example, while they are anticipated to be durable, they currently decrease in performance in humid environments. One solution is to encapsulate the material to keep out any moisture; another approach involves altering the perovskite structure to provide increased resistance to water.

In the two years since these particular perovskites were determined to have desirable solar-cell properties, solar-cell efficiencies have risen from 4 to 17 percent.

There have been numerous academic research papers published and multiple patents filed as the field pushes forward. If research continues at this pace, it may not take long before perovskite solar cells reach the mainstream market.

above: To promote awareness of the importance of bees and support organic garden pollination, Westmont senior and Beekeeping Club president Daniel Erickson (right) sets up a new top-bar bee hive on Westmont campus with James Wigle, a beekeeper with Super Bee Rescue (super beerescue.com). “I was coupling a legitimate interest and fascination in how bees work with a problem (i.e., bees dying) compelling enough to do something about,” said Erickson of his reason for starting the club.

hen Medicare put out a call for innovative ideas from the nation’s health-care providers, the doctors at Santa Barbara’s Palliative Care Consultants recalled what their senior patients had been telling them. “What we were hearing over and over was that seniors were dissatisfied with their health-care options, particularly in a hospital setting, but they were going there because it’s the only place where they can access care when they get sick,” said Dr. Michael Bordofsky, a partner in the practice. “We believed there was a big population of seniors who would prefer to get care in their home, and if they were given an option to get rapidly accessed care when they got sick, they would utilize it.”

That was in 2012, and since then, Bordofsky and his partners, Drs. Dennis Baker and Eric Trautwein, with the help of Dr. Nancy Rikalo, devised a template for an on-call team of rapid-response nurses and palliative care professionals who would attend to immediate medical needs of seniors without the cost, discomfort, or embarrassment of an ambulance or a trip to the emergency room. Their program, Doctors Assisting Seniors at Home (DASH), won an award of $4.2 million from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. DASH has so far proved very successful, reporting more than 1,600 responses to date with an average of a 40-minute wait time; a 38 percent drop in visits to the emergency room; and a 41 percent reduction in hospitalizations among enrollees.

The service is open to seniors living in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, and Summerland, and Bordofsky hopes to expand the idea, either countywide or by inspiring similar programs across the nation.

He cites the low cost — $60 per month for an individual subscriber, $90 per month for a couple, and free for low-income or MediCal seniors — as an incentive for insurance companies to invest in the program.

DASH addresses medical needs that are too pressing for an appointment but not severe enough to warrant an emergency room visit.

Richard Arbagay, 91, and his wife, Rosita, have used the service eight or nine times since enrolling, and they reported a higher quality of care. “It wasn’t a matter of putting a thermometer and two minutes later backing up and leaving the house; it was a very thorough investigation,” Richard said.

“We were extremely happy with it. I hope that it will continue,” — Richie Demaria Rosita said.

imaging measures natural radiation (heat) in the infrared spectrum and requires no light at all. The displays typically come through in color gradients; the cameras can’t see through clothes, walls, or even glass as they only detect surface temperatures.

Acker said Seek’s smartphone camera’s core has been in the works for about two years, and credited Raytheon and Freescale with helping them figure out how to make the unit’s chip and its thermal sensors small enough and light enough to fit in such a tight package.

Acker, a former head of marketing at XM Satellite Radio, employs some 20 people in Goleta and said Seek Thermal will likely grow over the next year. “It’s exciting because we’re launching a whole new industry.”

By early 2015, the company will release a software development kit so third parties can create their own specialized apps for the cameras.

Industry experts have predicted that the market for thermal devices, which was fairly flat between 2011 and 2013, will double to nearly $4 billion by 2019.

Turning Air into Water Skywell Hopes to Hydrate Your Office

purposes. It’s also the hottest and coldest water available on the market, according to the Skywell team.

In addition to bringing a more eco-friendly and cutting-edge type of water to the masses, Carson believes this technology can help what he calls a “disturbing … global water crisis.” That’s because Skywell can both create water in places where it is physically scarce and, perhaps more impactful, bring a clean source of water to places where cholera and other water-borne diseases frequently erupt.

Carson claimed that there is more water in the atmosphere than in all the rivers on Earth but also admitted that how much water can be created in a given day depends on the climate. For instance, Carson said that in his Santa Monica office on a typical day, the Skywell will produce five gallons of water, but in super-dry Las Vegas, it might not be able to produce any. When the air does allow water collection, the resulting liquid is treated inside the device with ultraviolet lighting in a three-step filtration process. When not in use, the water is shifted between tanks to keep it from getting stagnant.

There are a handful of other companies with this technology, but Carson believes Skywell has the most market-ready model and the grandest global vision for the possibilities, such as the 100-gallon unit that could even be used for irrigation. The basic model is now available in Southern California for $2,795 a unit (or one can be leased for $85 a month), with plans to expand elsewhere. So it may be only a matter of time before you too can, as Carson suggested in his concluding remarks, “pour yourself a glass of fresh air and enjoy the taste of innovation.”

hough it sounds assuredly space age, turning air into water isn’t really a new technology at all. Refrigerators rely on the basic concept of chilling the nearby atmosphere into a liquid form, and even ancient peoples were known to employ massive sails in harvesting H2O from their seemingly arid skies. But by fine-tuning the filtration process and developing a slick, user-friendly device, the Los Angeles–based company Skywell plans to turn the technology into an everyday drinking-water solution for the office, if not a way to help save the world’s water woes.

“Nineteen-seventy sci-fi has become 21st-century reality,” explained co-founder Jonathan Carson, who unveiled the company’s “air water dispenser” during a recent event at the Hotel Indigo, where he reminded that Luke Skywalker’s character in Star Wars was a “moisture farmer” before becoming a Jedi.

Along with cofounders Ron Dorfman (who invented the technology over the past decade) and Eric Kurtzman (Carson’s former partner at a renowned tech consulting firm), Carson’s goal is “to be positively impacting our global water crisis through focused entrepreneurship.”

During the September 10 event, Carson gave a TED-like talk to about 30 people in attendance as they sipped on Skywell water, flavored with blackberry and sage, strawberry and Meyer lemon, or grapefruit and rosemary. Most were from Santa Barbara businesses interested in buying the device, which can track how many plastic bottles are being saved and how much individuals are hydrating themselves. Plans for a mobile app are also forthcoming, and companies can post their own logos on the front screen for branding

hat was once a super-expensive technology reserved for soldiers, firefighters, and Predator aliens is now available to the masses via smartphone add-ons developed by two Goleta companies.

The thermal imaging cameras released by FLIR Systems (in July for $349) and Seek Thermal (in September for $199) convert heat energy into glowing images that, reps say, have a variety of practical applications. Users can scan a dark parking lot before heading to their car, find leaks, check BBQ temperatures, and so on. “There are tons of things that consumers will come up with,” said Seek Thermal CEO Robert Acker.

Commercial heat-detecting cameras have been around since the 1960s, but back then they cost around $100,000 and needed to be cooled to 300 degrees below zero. As the technology was refined, they became more accessible and, in the last decade, have been deployed into commercial industries. Still, before this year’s smartphonetargeted launch out of the South Coast, stand-alone units cost a minimum of $1,000.

Longtime thermal imaging giant FLIR is based in Oregon but has about 400 employees in Goleta. Its new consumer gadget, the FLIR One, is a camera-equipped case that fits an iPhone 5 or 5s and runs on its own battery. By contrast, the lightweight Seek Thermal unit plugs into the data ports of iPhones and Android phones. Both devices capture still and video images and run through apps, but Acker claims Seek’s camera has seven times as many pixels (32,000) as FLIR’s. He also said Seek’s camera can read temperatures between -40 and 440 degrees Celsius, whereas FLIR’s can only pick up a range of zero to 100 degrees.

here are two female authors in Santa Barbara who have reached advanced ages, but have no intention of going gentle into that good night. They both want to live their lives to the fullest, and this means taking risks and getting out of their comfort zones. One way they have done this is by compiling an anthology of stories from seniors throughout the country called Let the Clock Run Wild: Wit and Wisdom from Boomers and Bobbysoxers.

Judy Warner Scher and Jewell Reinhart Coburn said that the title of their book is key to understanding the message they wanted to convey. When you get older, you have two choices, they said: “You can give up and be dead before you are dead,” or you can “let the clock run out and live life.”

A writing class offered through the SBCC Adult Education program provided the inspiration for the book, according to Scher. In class, she said that older people had expressed the idea that they “felt marginalized and invisible.” One morning, she “got up at 7, sat bolt upright, and said, ‘Maybe I should give voice to these people.’ ” Choosing the more than 50 stories and poems featured in their book wasn’t an easy task. They put out a nationwide call for submissions, and the stories and poems poured in on a variety of subjects, including love, family, taking risks, dying, and sex. While some of the stories might not tap into your personal experiences, most of those in the anthology have universal appeal.

Not only did Scher and Coburn edit the anthology, but they also wrote stories for it.

Scher wrote one titled “A Moving Experience.”

After her husband died, she decided to move from Charlottesville, Virginia, to Santa Barbara. In her sixties, and with no family nearby, people questioned her decision. She said in her story, “Everything is new: the sights, the smells, the people, and, of course, my experiences. I feel alive and alert … I realize that it’s not about choosing to move, it’s about listening to your heart so that when it’s your time, change just happens.”

Coburn’s story “Everyday Alchemy” explores the way a family learns to forgive one another. It starts with a scene everyone can relate to: family members bickering with one another. However, the story ends with an insight that can be useful for everyone.

There are three stories in the anthology written by a former hospice nurse that are particularly moving. Doris Thome writes about death in a way that is both beautiful and inspiring. She describes the experiences of three people dying: a young woman, an older man, and her father. Her take on death is unforgettable.

Scher said that getting older should be a liberating experience. “Often people get more fearful. They get protective, and their world gets smaller.” She added, “As you get older, you need to do the opposite.”

The authors will sign copies of their book Tuesday, November 4, 7 p.m., at Chaucer’s Books, 3321 State Street. Call 682-6787.

‘What is the history of the Coral Casino?’

by Michael Redmon

Michael Redmon, director of research at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, will answer your questions about Santa Barbara’s history. Write him c/o The Santa Barbara Independent, 122 West Figueroa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

COURTESY S.B. HISTORICAL MUSEUM

ince its opening in 1937, one of the jewels of Santa Barbara’s social scene has been the Coral Casino. Set next to the Biltmore hotel, the casino has been the venue for magnificent parties and events attended by area luminaries, European dignitaries, and Hollywood stars.

The Biltmore opened in 1927 and, after a few years of success, was in deep financial difficulty by the early 1930s. In 1936, PARTY CENTRAL: The Coral Casino the Pacific States Savoffered guests games such as ings and Loan Company shuffleboard (pictured) and was also purchased the hotel. The famous for its fabulous parties in company’s majority owner the 1940s. was Robert S. Odell, who brought to the hotel new ideas and major changes.

The forerunner of the Coral Casino was the Biltmore Beach Club.

For a yearly fee, families could rent one in a row of 40 cabanas on the beach across from the hotel. Nearby was the swimming pool, surrounded by a verdant lawn, and the two-story Biltmore Beach House, in which dances were held several times a week.

Construction of the Santa Barbara breakwater in the late 1920s caused serious erosion to the beaches east of the harbor, threatening to wash away the cabanas. Odell decided to scrap the club and start afresh.

The Beach House was replaced by the Moderne-style Coral Casino, designed by San Francisco architect Gardner A. Dailey. A new pool was emplaced, one foot longer than Olympic size, reportedly Odell’s way to ensure it did not become the scene of sports events. The saltwater pool and the strip of glittering white sand next to it were both heated with steam pipes. The pool was flanked by new cabanas.

Membership in the casino cost $300 in the mid-1940s, and required approval by Odell, who ruled his stretch of Channel Drive with an iron hand. Ladies had to wear dresses or skirts to events; men with haircuts that, in Odell’s eyes, were not sufficiently short were denied admittance.

Employees unfortunate enough to wear inappropriate shoes or fail to chill the champagne properly could find themselves unemployed, although often hired back the very same day.

The casino became famous for the fabulous parties thrown under the watchful eye of Biltmore manager Gilbert “Icky” Outhwaite: a Hawaiian luau complete with a 60-foot waterfall attached to the diving platform; a night in Venice with gondolas bobbing in the pool; the “Blessing of the Shrimp” affair in which the pool area was transformed into a Louisiana bayou dock. In the 1950s, the Music Academy of the West began holding its annual debutante ball in the casino ballroom.

This necessitated replacing the room’s retractable canvas roof with a permanent one; apparently the debutantes objected to periodic soakings and dancing around milk cans placed to catch the water from the leaky roof.

Hollywood soon discovered the casino. Tyrone Power and Charles Laughton relaxed poolside while performing at the Lobero Theatre.

Johnny Weissmuller and Errol Flynn both performed stunts off the diving platform, and Lana Turner was featured when Look Magazine shot a photo montage at the casino. The list goes on and on, and presiding over it all was Odell, often in his private cabana engaged in one of his intense poker games.

Since Odell’s day, the casino has had a number of owners. In 2002, what architect Dailey called his “Gem of the Pacific” was designated a County Landmark.

ALL HAIL THE COACH: Rusty Fairly (center) gives a wave to the Vaquero football team at last Saturday’s game against L.A. Pierce College. Fairly coached SBCC baseball for 17 years, leading them to win the Western State Conference title in 1972.

Rusty Fairly Stirs Appreciation, Memories in Old Friends

R

by John Zant

usty Fairly reflexively raised his hand when prompted to

share a high five. But when his hand met yours, he clasped it in a firm grip. You could feel the innate strength of a man who was a college football and baseball star, who moved to Santa Barbara to become a football assistant coach at UCSB, who dabbled in everything from soccer to volleyball as a P.E. teacher, and who was a fiery head baseball coach at Santa Barbara City College for 17 years.

Steve Fairly brought his father back to SBCC last Saturday. Seated in a wheelchair at the top of La Playa Stadium, Rusty waved at the Vaquero football team that had taken a 23-0 halftime lead over L.A. Pierce College. The players saluted him back with a tip of their helmets. It was just as Steve had intended. He pulled his father out of an Alzheimer’s care facility for a few hours, out into the brightness of a breezy fall day, so he could be surrounded by people who loved and appreciated him.

There was a more intimate gathering after the stadium appearance — about a dozen former Vaquero baseball players had an early dinner with their old coach. He guided SBCC to a 255-160 record (.614 winning percentage) from 1965 to 1981. They won the Western State Conference title in 1972.

Gary Woods, who made it to the major leagues, was there, along with his brother, Clancy Woods. There was a contingent who came from Lompoc to play for Fairly — Leroy Grossini, John Lizarraga, and Dave Aragon among them. There was Dave Fredrickson, a catcher like his coach. Fairly smiled pleasantly as they recalled what a red-headed firebrand he was.

“One time he smashed all our bats. We had to borrow bats from Ventura to finish the game.”

“At L.A. Valley, Rusty got tossed in the third inning. A van appeared behind a fence near the on-deck circle. Rusty was in there sending out signals.”

“He was passionate. He had that fire inside him all the time.”

Fairly has been inducted into the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table as a coach, and he’s also in the halls of fame at Long Beach City College and the University of Denver. He did it all for Denver’s Pioneers in their 1954 Sun Bowl championship season — quarterback, defensive back (he led the nation in interceptions), punter and placekicker. He was nicknamed “the Mad Magician.” Denver scored a 28-20 victory over Utah, then coached by “Cactus” Jack Curtice, who later had Fairly on his staff at UCSB. Steve Fairly related a source of his father’s athletic ability: “He grew up on a chicken ranch. He said,‘Those damn roosters will kill you.

When I went out to feed the chickens, I had to run for my life.’”

Rusty Fairly devoted himself to community service after his career in sports. He was elected to the Santa Barbara City Council. His political strength resided in his openness and friendliness. He was a

member of the coffee party. He liked to meet with people early in the morning at Mel’s Cocktail Lounge. It served his inclination for thrift.

The coffee was free.

Alzheimer’s has taken a toll on some of the most vital people I’ve ever known. Dave Gorrie, a UCSB Hall of Famer as an all-around athlete and baseball coach, is in a memory-care facility in Texas. Yet as they fade away, these men’s inspiration to others remains strong.

MAGIC SHOW: Roaming up the aisles of the Arlington Theatre as

assuredly as he once led the Lakers’ fast break at the Forum, Magic Johnson gave a commanding performance last Friday in his lecture titled The Magic of Winning. Addressing the audience as “young people,” he stressed the importance of practice. Before the 1986-87 season, he had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar teach him the sky-hook, and it was his “junior sky-hook” that beat the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals.

Johnson applied the same diligence to his business ventures, making Starbucks profitable in the inner city by substituting sweet potato pie for scones and beefing up the concessions at his movie theaters because his people don’t do dinner and a movie; they do dinner at the movies.

Asked to pick an all-time NBA team, he started with himself, joined

by Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, and Kobe Bryant as the sixth man.

Magic said Bryant may have surpassed his five championship rings but for his parting with Shaquille O’Neil. “I’m still mad at Shaq,” he said.“Can you imagine if those two stayed together? You’re splitting up because of a disagreement of whose team it is? Are you serious?”

Even though new Lakers coach Byron Scott was his teammate, Magic called the Lakers’ failure to bring back Phil Jackson “a critical mistake. We blew that. He doesn’t belong in New York.”

As a team owner, Johnson is more involved with the Dodgers now.

He expressed confidence that the wrangling over TV money will be resolved next season, and their telecasts will return to homes throughout the Southland. If that doesn’t happen, we ought to bring Magic back. He’ll have some ’splainin’ to do.

GAUCHO COMEBACK: Cal Poly had UCSB on the ropes — a 2-0 lead

in the second half and Wade Hamilton, the Big West’s top goalkeeper, crouching between the pipes, as imposing as Madison Bumgarner on the mound. It looked as if most in the crowd of 14,345 at Harder Stadium, second-largest on-campus crowd in NCAA soccer history, were in for a huge disappointment. The Gauchos moved the ball skillfully but couldn’t get a finishing touch … until Ludwig Ahl made it 2-1 with a well-timed connection in front of the goal … and then Nick DePuy tied it up, flicking the ball over the goalie after a brilliant pass from Axel Mendez. Hamilton withstood a sustained barrage in overtime, but the 2-2 draw felt like a UCSB victory. The teams will meet again on ■ the Mustangs’ turf at San Luis Obispo on Sunday.

Wilson, an outside hitter on the girls volleyball team, and Coffey, a kicker, linebacker, and fullback for the football squad, were named the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Athletes of the Week for their big-time performances against their crosstown rivals in Channel League games.

Wilson posted 10 kills and nine digs in a sweep over Santa Barbara and followed that up with a 24-kill performance in a five-set win at Dos Pueblos.

Coffey was all over the field in San Marcos’s 27-10 victory over Dos Pueblos — the first league win for the Royals in five years. The linebacker recorded three quarterback sacks and was in on several tackles; he served as a lead blocker for Ivan Reyes, who ran for two touchdowns; he gave the Royals good field position as a kick returner; and he booted two field goals.

What does your book have that others do not?

JZ: We’ve noticed that a lot of the allergy-free cookbooks still

have sugar in them and meat. That’s always startling to us.

SZ: So we incorporated the whole vegetarian aspect because we

believe so strongly in a plant-based diet. And we also brought up GMOs early on.

JZ: We were way ahead on that. We felt there was a connection with food allergies and GMOs, and there is, because a Monsanto herbicide called glycophosphate is a chemical that causes people to get allergic reactions to their food.

SZ: We’re not afraid to say this: Shame on Monsanto and Roundup. Seriously. When you start fiddling with Mother Nature and start making frankenfoods, how do you expect us to digest this properly? The wheat that is GMO has more gluten in it, so it’s even harder for people who have an intolerance to digest that. And 90 percent of all corn and soy is genetically modified. You’re slowly but surely having more people who are allergic to corn.

What else do you like to do in Santa Barbara?

SHARI AND JUDI ZUCKER

WRITE THE ULTIMATE ALLERGY-FREE COOKBOOK

I

t’s hard, at first glance, to take seriously a cookbook on the wildly trendy topic of allergy-free foods written by two strikingly blonde, middle-aged sisters who’ve been proudly calling themselves the “Double Energy Twins” since they were 16 years old.

But when you open the book to find straightforward explanations of food allergies, handy guides to the eight usual culprits (milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nut, soy, fish, and shellfish), and, most importantly, very easy-to-follow recipes that still sound tasty, you think twice. Then you realize Santa Barbara residents Judi and Shari Zucker have already graced the stages of Good Morning America and the Today show, and an interview sounds worthwhile.

And the cake gets iced during that conversation when you learn that the Double Energy Twins are actually quite down-toearth, self-deprecating, and impassioned about helping others lead healthy lives, which they’ve done over the course of six books. What follows is our telephone conversation, edited for clarity and length. (For a longer version, see independent.com /food.)

How’d you get into cookbooks?

Shari Zucker: We wrote our first book when we were 16

years old, How to Survive Snack Attacks … Naturally. It started because we were running cross-country and track at Beverly Hills High School, and our mother was our total inspiration: She’s the worst cook in the world, and it was survival. We took her old Betty Crocker books that she never used and started revising the recipes. We would make a pie, and instead of using white flour and Crisco, we would use olive oil and whole grain

BY MATT KETTMANN flour. We came up with recipes, stuck them in a drawer, and in our senior year, our father said, “What are you gonna do with the recipes?”

Judi Zucker: We wanted to call the book Snack Attack, but our father, who is a public relations man, said, “You need a catchier title, like How to Survive Snack Attacks … Naturally, and we’ll call you the Double Energy Twins.” Of course, Shari and I were thinking, “How corny…”

SZ: Then we ended up having that trademarked. Even as we got married and became parents, we are still the Double Energy Twins. That’s us: Bing and Bang.

What brought you to Santa Barbara?

SZ: When we were growing up, my parents would come and

vacation here, and I said, “I’m going to college there.” We never thought we would go to the same college, so Judi went up to UC Davis to major in nutrition, and I went to UCSB. This is the truth: The guys were so hot at UCSB, I said to Judi, “You’ve got to come down here.”

JZ: And I got an immediate transfer.

Why did you shift to allergies?

JZ: There were two things that inspired us: The publisher asked us if we would consider making it allergy-free, and my son was having headaches. After I started writing the last book, I thought, “You know what? He has a food allergy.” Food can heal

4·1·1

JZ: We are very health conscious. At the crack of dawn, when

the animals and the vermin are up, you can see Shari and I running in the morning. We exercise every day.

SZ: Judi lives in her home, and I live in my home, and we are married and have our own children and live our own lives. But every day, we get up and run about an hour and 15 minutes, and after running we swim for 45 minutes a day. So we run, we swim, and we walk every day. We consider that our cup of coffee. If we did drink coffee, you would really have trouble keeping up with us.

JZ: We don’t really watch TV, so when people are watching TV at night, we exercise.

SZ: The proof is in the pudding. I have twins that are 25 now, and they not only run marathons; they run ultramarathons. We raised our kids as vegetarian and teaching that you only have one body in this life. If there is anything we can tell the younger generation, it’s that it will catch up to you — if you think you can lead a certain lifestyle that’s not so healthy, you will feel it. We sit here in the ripe age of 53 — we’re 106 together — and we feel pretty darn good. We’re able to do what we’re doing because we take care of ourselves.

JZ: To us, beautiful is healthy. When someone says you look healthy, we take it as the best compliment ever.

Do you think we are moving in the right direction overall regarding nutrition?

SZ: Judi and I are cockeyed optimists, so you’ll never hear us

take the negative aspect. We are just innately positive people.

JZ: But I do definitely believe that, while we’re bombarded by

big companies that have a lot of money to advertise sugar, cereals, and meat products, people are smarter than that. I’m giving people more credit, especially in Santa Barbara. People are buying healthier food and making healthier choices.

SZ: This is a different era than when we grew up. We’re in a fast-response society. People just want things instantly. But I’m optimistic because we do have an epidemic of health crises, and people are starting to realize that they can’t just keep giving themselves a pill.

JZ: They’re sick of being sick.

SZ: They’re sick of feeling like crap. People want to feel good.

JZ: That was Shari. Shari has the bad mouth. Judi uses more discretion.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add bacon, a fried egg, or avocado.

lex Noormand and Tracy Clark, who have been friends since age 7, could never quite find a restaurant that had both tasty food and a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

“There are so many cool places in Santa Barbara,” said Noormand, “but we never found that exact place.”

The solution? Opening their own restaurant called Yellow Belly (2611 De la Vina St.; 770-5694; yellow bellytap.com) earlier this month, and it’s quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite for craft beers, filling eats, and a friendly vibe.

The name was inspired by the yellow-bellied sapsucker, a bird native to Yosemite, and was going to be Yellow Belly Tap Sucker until they shortened it. Both Noormand and Clark believe that outdoor seating is necessary, so the location — next to Jedlicka’s and former home of TAP Thai — boasts a large back patio and newly built front patio along with plenty of places to sit indoors, too. The menu relies on fresh, locally grown ingredients and hometown vendors, including coffee from Handlebar, ice cream from McConnell’s, and beer from Telegraph. The fare is heavy on comfort foods with modern additions, and the options for mains and beers are at almost a 1:1 ratio.

“We’ve created a pretty small menu and really perfected each item rather than doing a large menu,” Noormand explained. “We’ve put a lot of time and thought into each menu item.” Clark interjected, adding, “And beer and cheese and love!”

It’s true. With 10 beers on tap and a menu full of items smothered with cheese, Yellow Belly is already filling excited bellies every evening. And if you find yourself hungry during the day, the space also doubles as a

MITCHELL EXPLAINS IT ALL CLARISSA CREATOR TAKES FANS BEHIND THE SCENES

Last week, we sat down with Kriegman to discuss the event, as well as Clarissa’s fabled origin story.

“I wanted to take all the crazy ideas that I couldn’t do at Saturday Night Live and I couldn’t do at the Comedy Channel and put it in the mouth of a girl who was charming and sweet and wonderful,” Kriegman laughed as he recounted the show’s conceptual vision.“I was convinced she would be able to get away with way more than me.”

JESSIE WARE TOUGH LOVE

In a post-Ashlee Simpson world, there seems to be an almost unquenchable thirst for real-deal powerhouse female singers. In the years since that fated Saturday Night Live snafu, the Billboard charts have embraced Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Adele, Florence + the Machine, Ellie Goulding, and Lorde with open arms and knowing smiles — and the ranks only seem to be growing. Take Jessie Ware, for example. The young English songstress calls to mind a sumptuous hybrid of Sade, Robyn, and Mariah Carey (before she went nuts), and her latest album is not to be missed. Tough Love, Ware’s second studio offering, careens between the worlds of disco, pop, and R&B with a casual smoothness and carefree sense of empowerment that can be traced right back to the singer’s early career. Even before her stunning

he year was 1991, and if you were a kid between the ages of 10 and 17, you were probably watching Clarissa Explains It All. As one of the first wave of Nickelodeon-branded sitcoms, Clarissa was a lot like the network she belonged to: kooky, flashily dressed, and, in hindsight, way ahead of her time. The show, which went on for five glorious seasons, revolved around Melissa Joan Hart’s Clarissa, a highly loveable, refreshingly sarcastic, and slightly overreactive young teen as she navigated through life’s major problems (i.e. blind dates, driving, and an incorrigible younger brother).

This Friday, Clarissa’s creator (and Santa Barbara Independent contributing writer) Mitchell Kriegman heads to Isla Vista Theater as part of the Magic Lantern film series, where he’ll screen clips from the show, field audience questions, and talk about the ins and outs of creating a sitcom.

He was right. But Clarissa also did a lot more — like set the foundation for female-led, young-adult programming — which is why Kriegman feels now is such a great time to revisit the show and its impact.

“There are big questions about Clarissa and diversity that are worth answering and discussions to be had about how important diversity was in those beginning days of Nickelodeon — and how important it still is today,” he said. “The controversy around Clarissa creates another opportunity to talk about all the issues that she started talking about back in the ’90s.”

Kriegman appears at Isla Vista Theater to discuss Clarissa and sign copies of his new book, Being Audrey Hepburn, on Friday, November 7, at 7 p.m. Admission is $5. Visit facebook.com/magiclanternfilmsiv — Aly Comingore for info.

The HIVE, a group of choreographers and self-proclaimed “busy bees,” will premiere Buzz: A Collaborative Dance Concert on Sunday, November 2, at Center Stage Theater. While emphasizing contemporary dance, the show will feature an array of art forms, including music and physical theater, offering audiences a chance to see a diverse range of Santa Barbara and Southern California artists dedicated to creating and fostering performance close to home.

As HIVE’s premiere event, Buzz will provide Santa Barbara with its first chance to see new choreographers, as well as some familiar faces, working together under a new artistic model of creation and production.

A truly collaborative effort, members of the HIVE not only create performance material but also share in the costs and tasks of production, investing their own money into making the performance possible. This year marked the unfortunate end of Kinesis (formerly New Works), an area choreographers’ showcase put on by Santa Barbara Dance Alliance. With Kinesis disbanded and funding for dance programs in short supply, Maria Rendina-Frantz stepped up, sending out a call to other area artists to develop new work for a new collaboration. Melissa Block, Meredith Cabaniss, and Misa and Stephen Kelly responded, and the HIVE was formed, with the hope “to create a streamlined, self-sustaining model,” as Redina-Frantz puts it.

While investing personal money and divvying production tasks among so many people may seem like a challenging feat, the collaboration appears to have paid off. HIVE member Stephen Kelly admits, “With so many cooks in the kitchen, some things have taken more time than might be the case with a single director, but the HIVE carries with it the spirit of working together toward creating the sweet sustenance artists need to manifest their life work.

Choreographers and dancers need to create and to share their creations with their communities as food for the soul, refreshment and fulfillment for the spirit.”

Buzz’s program includes 12 different pieces, all of which will be making their Santa Barbara premiere at Sunday’s show. Contributing S.B. artists include ArtBark International/Future Traditions Foundation, Melissa and Sarah Block, Weslie Ching, DramaDogs– A Theater Company, Kaita Lepore, Lamara Heartwell and Timothy Tillman, Mindy Nelson, Motion Theatre & Artists, and SELAH Dance Collective. Visiting Southern California companies include Jessica Kondrath | the movement, KIN Dance Company, Rubans Rouges Dance Company, and Watson Dance. “It is a really tight and diverse show of dance and physical theater,” says the group, “with contributing artists ranging in their careers from emerging to mid-career to well established.”

Area supporters of the arts, as well as dance and theater enthusiasts alike, will surely find something to enjoy in this diverse evening of performance.

Buzz runs one night only, on Sunday, November 2, at 7 p.m. at Center Stage Theater. For tickets and info, call 963-0408 or visit centerstagetheater.org.

ive a stellar group of artists a show, and you are bound to get something good.

Give them a show with heavy constraints, and you may get something great. That’s what happened here, as curator Philip Koplin rallied some of the area’s top talent with the premise of a show including four works apiece, none of which was to SIZE MATTERS: Virginia McCracken specializes exceed four inches in in miniatures (above), while clown prince Keith any dimension. Thus Puccinelli excels at accentuating the gesture (below). followed the title, inch4inch, and a flurry of invention as the artists interpreted these directions in myriad ways. For natural-born miniaturists such as Virginia McCracken, the show offered the chance to go little-toe-to-little-toe with some heavyweights. Her idiosyncratic assemblage boxes — “Rose Wylie,” “A Glimpse of the Tiny Queen,” and “Dame Ethel” — feature quirky mini-mice inhabiting fanciful interiors. While McCracken shares a certain vocabulary with such avatars of twee as Beatrix Potter, her execution is informed by contemporary art and even abstract expressionism. It’s a delightfully ironic mix, like William Burroughs reading bedtime stories.

Hilary Brace (who has an important new show at Craig Krull Gallery in Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station that’s up through November 22) is also in inch4inch with a quartet of exquisite drawings that defy belief in their magically detailed rendering of liquids and atmospheric gases. These little creations are tremendous, and there’s no one else like her. Gail Pine contributes four Intersections, ink-and-white compositions on Aquaboard that feature red and black dots dancing with a line. Pine uses her background in creating typologies for snapshots to ground her abstract images in a consistent gestural geometry, proving that there’s such a thing as mini-minimalism.

‘EXCEPT YOU, KEITH.’ Some men are showing here, too, including the ever-antic Keith Puccinelli, whose little Keith makes an unexpected appearance on the wall around the corner. Koplin’s drawings anchor the show in his gloriously enigmatic sensibility.

Mark Lozano contributed four delicate Window Views, each of them revealing a previously undetected aspect of the everyday. Rollin Fortier’s elegant and distinctive untitled white objects express yet another instantly recognizable yet hard-to-pin-down persona. And Catherine Gee’s nudes and fashion paintings take on an unexpected vibrancy when they are broadcast on this tiny frequency.

The long wall facing the Arts Fund doorway got the show’s most radical treatment, as Koplin invited each of the artists to put one of their works on it as they arrived to drop off their contributions. “Put it anywhere you want,” Koplin is reported to have told them, “except you, Keith.” One contributor who really took full advantage of the dimension imposition was Dane Goodman.

His series of four Dark Pillows used modeling compound to amazing effect, creating delicately smushed faces out of puffy black-gray rectangles that were animated to an extraordinary degree. Goodman’s sure touch, both in craftsmanship and in tone, gave these goofy little guys an oversized emotional impact.

O P E N H O U S E Wednesday, November 5, 2014

y newsfeed and the chatter of the circles in which I travel have both been rather heavy on topics related to the male/female divide. Perhaps I saw State Street Ballet’s 20th anniversary concert through that lens, but for me, the whole evening was a commentary on the balance of masculine and feminine power.

This hit me about halfway into the evening’s opening work, William Soleau’s elegant Tango Rain, a piece created by longtime State Street Ballet collaborator Soleau in honor of the company’s 20th year. Tango Rain featured seven men and seven women in duets, trios, and ensemble sequences. Set to the music of Astor Piazzolla and overlays of sounds of thunder and rain, dancers joined, parted, teased, flirted, rebuffed, stole hearts, effortlessly glided through clockwork canons, and deftly manipulated umbrellas. Just like the tango, this piece celebrated the dance of male and female offering and receiving, desiring and responding. It was a wonderful vehicle for State Street Ballet’s dancers. Not only are they beautifully trained, with clear mastery of both contemporary and classical ballet technique, but every one of them also possesses vibrancy and joie de vivre. They love to dance, and they love to dance with each other.

The second work of the evening, Scheherazade, threw back to a much less modern view of male-female balance of power. Based loosely in the ancient literary work that gave us characters like Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sinbad, this tale centered around a story told by the titular character (Brittney Deptuch) to the decadently costumed, turbaned Sultan (Gary Mackenzie) to avoid being put to death the next day. This commissioned work by former State Street Ballet dancer Autumn Eckman melded strong classical and modern influences.

Music by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov created a backdrop to a complicated tale of sirens rising from desert sands, a village being sacked by evil Saracens, a seduction, and lots of incredibly virtuosic, high-flying dancing — most notably by the Traveler (Ryan Camou), who, in his buff toga, looked like he’d just walked off a Greek frieze; Leila Drake, the Siren Queen who turns out to be the most powerful character in the whole story; and the stunning pas de deux work of Jack Stewart and Kate Kadow as the village leader and his beloved.

The story of Scheherazade only makes sense in a world where women have no power: a world where women survive by manipulating the men who might control them but who are easily fooled. I much prefer the cool, clockwork polarity and melding of the tango: male and female, celebrated for what they ■ are, and balancing one another with extraordinary grace.

C

lassical ballet is all about showcasing the ladies, with male dancers often acting as courtly partners to the ballerinas and taking a backseat, aside from a solo here and there. But BalletBoyz, coming to UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Saturday, is something entirely different. This U.K.-based company has gotten lots of attention for its innovative all-male makeup since its founding in 2001 by Michael Nunn and William Trevitt.

After nearly a decade of success with BalletBoyz, they reenergized the company’s dynamic by selecting and training a corps of 10 young male dancers they call the TALENT, who won the U.K.’s prestigious Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards earlier this year for Best Independent Company.

“We had danced for 12 years with The Royal Ballet and then with our by Justine Sutton own company, and we could feel that we were approaching our ‘best before’ date,” Nunn and Trevitt said.“But in 2009, we saw a group of young male dancers and were inspired by their enthusiasm, their hunger, and their lack of fear. It seemed possible that if we could channel all of that raw potential and combine it with top-class choreography, we might have something very fresh and exciting.”

Those of us who are accustomed to traditional, female-predominant dance companies might wonder — is it different working with all men?

“In terms of the work dynamic, there is still simply a determination to make the work as good as it can be,” they said.“They are extremely driven and professional, and I don’t think that has to do with gender.”

Nunn and Trevitt enjoy working with guest choreographers, and BalletBoyz incorporates partnerships with acclaimed composers, artists, designers, filmmakers, and photographers.

“It has always been our aim to involve ourselves and the dancers in as many new collaborations as possible and to make an evening with us as varied as it can be,” they explained.

Saturday’s program opens with “Serpent,” Liam Scarlett’s first commission for BalletBoyz and his first use of contemporary dancers, with an original score by acclaimed U.K. composer Max Richter. The evening closes with “Fallen” by Russell Maliphant, with a score by French cinema composer Armand Amar.

Much of ballet and modern dance has very serious overtones, but there is also a movement by some companies to incorporate humor and lightness into their work. BalletBoyz falls somewhere in between.

“The choreography is serious, and we take our work very seriously,” they said. “But we have always frowned upon the branch of contemporary dance that takes itself too seriously, often leading to performances that feel like the dancers were the only ones to get the meaning or any satisfaction out of it. We never want to be one of those companies where you feel like you’ve just had to take some medicine. We want to entertain!”

As for how they select their dancers, Nunn and Trevitt seek out stars — dancers that will light up the stage in a way that often supersedes talent or training.

“Of course, technique, skill, and physicality are very important,” they said, “but what we are usually looking for is that certain something that means that you can’t take your eyes off a particular dancer, some kind of irresistible charisma. A combination of those attributes is very rare, but obviously we have found all 10 of them!”

Nunn and Trevitt both live in West London with their families. Ambassadors for Prince Charles’s charity Children and the Arts, they were made officers of the British Empire in 2012 for their services to dance.

“Of course, we hope audiences will love the Boyz,” they said,“but we also like to think that they will appreciate seeing choreography that is new and exciting.

It would be great if they would look us up online and check out some of the films that we have made with the company and tell all of their friends.”

a&e | POP, ROCK & JAZZ PREVIEW TRUCKIN’ ALONG: Husband and wife Derek Trucks (third from left) and Susan Tedeschi (fourth from left) copilot the many-membered Tedeschi Trucks Band, which pulls into the Arlington on October 30.

NEW BEGINNINGS

W

hen I catch up with Derek Trucks from his New York City hotel room, he’s in an especially amiable mood. One night into his final six-night run with The Allman Brothers, the guitarist is looking back with a renewed sense of self and slowly setting his sights on the next chapter.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect coming into it,” Trucks said, referring to the beginning of his end with the Allmans.“There are a lot of different emotions flowing around for different people, but so far so good. I think everyone’s head is in the right spot.”

Following the band’s Beacon Theatre blowout, Trucks will be a one-band man for the first time in over 15 years, turning his attention to his other long-running project, Tedeschi Trucks Band, which he copilots with wife Susan Tedeschi. Next week, they hit the road for a series of West Coast dates, which includes a stop at the Arlington Theatre on October 30.

I’ve been told to give you music-shop recommendations; your publicist says you’re quite the record collector. [Laughs.] Yeah, we try to keep new music flowing on the bus all the time.

Do you want to talk a little bit about four records that made an especially big impact on you growing up? Oh, man. The first records were the records my parents were spinning — At Fillmore East, Eat a Peach — those two Allman Brothers records were the first music I ever heard where it wasn’t just background noise or entertainment.

It felt like something different. That was the first time I was ever really moved by music. I think that was kind of the start.

Later on, I remember a friend of mine, Colonel Bruce Hampton, buying me John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme. That was one of those life-changing records. I think I was 14 or 15 at the time, and it just reinforced that if you’re going to do this, you might want to dig deep and try to find people that put everything they had into what they did — and not for career or financial reasons but just for the music, the art, just to try and see how far it could go.

So that was a pretty big record for me, conceptually and musically.

DEREK TRUCKS TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

by Aly Comingore Elmore James’s records were always around my house as a kid.

Him and Duane Allman were the two that got me really locked in on slide guitar.

And then later on, I think in my mid-teens, I got into all of those 1970s Stevie Wonder records, from Where I’m Coming From to Songs in the Key of Life, Talking Book, Fulfillingness’ [First Finale], Innervisions — those were the first ones I ever really dug into with headphones, just listening to every note where the more you hear, the more you can pick out of it. The way he made records there for a while was, I think, probably the best string any modern artist has ever had. It was just one amazing album after the next.

Was there an insane amount of pressure stepping into The Allman Brothers? Yes and no. I’ve always been of the mind-set that you should be applying all of the pressure yourself and not really worry about the outside pressure. I try to surround myself with people that are their own worst critics, and that’s the way it’s always been.

But I had so much respect for that music. I certainly wanted it to be right. When I joined the band, instead of listening to what they were doing in the late ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, I went back to the very beginning and just listened to those records again and tried to start steering it back to where it was, what it was about in the beginning. In doing that, you’re not trying to photocopy what happened; you’re trying to maintain that mind-set and that spirit but throw everything you’ve learned in the mix. It’s always

been kind of one foot in the past, one foot in the future with that band. I think now with these last six shows I’m going back to that mind-set. I’m up here listening to those early records and trying to recapture that spirit a bit.

The Tedeschi Trucks Band is a beast of a lineup. How do you approach a project with that many players? With an 11-piece band, you certainly have to [take charge], whether it’s by being really obvious as a band leader or just by over time people learning what you want.

You have to kind of steer the ship. The great thing about that band is that it’s a lot of people, but there [are] two drummers, and they do kind of act as one unit. The three horn players really think as one unit; the two backup singers really think as one unit. It kind of feels like a six- or seven-piece band. When the chemistry is right, it really is a lot easier than it should be. [Laughs.]

Throughout this summer, I feel like a lot of my friends were coming back from music festivals and saying that you guys put on one of, if not the best show they saw. That’s good. That’s how the band has been feeling lately. Everyone’s real excited about it. It’s been a lot of work getting it to this point, making sure you have the right people in place and everybody is on the same page and after the same thing. But in the last six months, eight months, I feel like the band really is in a spot now where you just have to feed it — the more time and energy you give to it, the more material we bring to the band, the better it gets. It’s not pulling teeth, and I haven’t been in that place with many bands. [Laughs.] With this band, everybody’s taste and musicality is so strong and so locked in.

Everyone knows what this band should and can sound like, and everybody’s after that. It’s a nice place to be.

a&e | POP, ROCK & JAZZ PREVIEW FOLK TALES: Patty Griffin is on tour for her latest albums, American Kid and Silver Bell.

BELLE OF THE HALL A

udiences were introduced to Patty Griffin’s intimate songwriting and compelling voice in 1996 with the release of her debut album, Living with Ghosts, a raw acoustic record that remains her best-selling to date. It was the beginning of an illustrious career that has seen Griffin collaborate with such musical icons as Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, and the Dixie Chicks. She’s also garnered accolades in the music industry that include a Grammy Award and an Artist of the Year title from the Americana Music Association.

In 2013, Griffin released two records — American Kid and Silver Bell. While Kid comprises all new material, Silver Bell was

by Michelle Drown originally recorded in 2000 as a follow-up to Flaming Red (1998) but was shelved due to record company red tape. Legendary producer Glyn Johns remixed Silver, stripping away some of that era’s musical context to great effect. I recently spoke to Griffin by phone from Waco, Texas, where she was kicking off the tour that will bring her to Santa Barbara on November 2.

SINGER/SONGWRITER PATTY GRIFFIN COMES TO UCSB

The material on Silver Bell is more than a decade old. Is it odd to have work you did 13 years ago just being released? Well, it’s not exactly new to a lot of people, because somebody had [put a pretty good] bootlegged version of it out there, so a lot of people already have it. Some things are rerecorded, some things are covered by people — a lot of it has made its way around. But some of it I’d forgotten about, and that was kind of nice. I didn’t really want to go back and listen to it. Once I’m done, I kind of move on, but it was Glyn Johns’s mix, and I think he did a really great job sort of peeling back the ’90s and finding a lot of beauty in it. It forced me to listen to the music, which I hadn’t listened to in a long time, and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. [Laughs.]

WIN BIG WIN MINI 10 MINI COOPER GIVEAWAYS 2 Giveaways Every Sunday In November + Free Play drawings starting at 5pm

American Kid seems like a very personal album. Well, in a way it’s all kind of fiction because you’re making up stories, but hopefully the emotional stuff is true. A lot of it was written around my father passing away. … He was a major portion of my life and still is.

I think American Kid is one of your best albums. Did you feel like you nailed it with this one?

I don’t trust it when people think they’ve nailed it. [Laughs.] I never feel like I’ve nailed it. I think it’s good enough. I think it’s got a lot of heartfelt, much-labored, much-loved-over pieces of music on it. … I’m not ashamed of it at all.

Has your songwriting process changed throughout the years? You know, what I find discombobulating is that writing is just as hard as it’s ever been. It’s hard work.

[Laughs.] And it’s very time-consuming, and it’s a lot of your life energy that goes into that. The older I get, [songs] feel like a bigger undertaking, but they also seem an important way for me to sort out the truth from untruths in my own life, so that’s not a bad thing.

The end results seem effortless. I think also for a lot of writers they have a thing they do — like they have to take a nap at 2 p.m. and work in this room with this typewriter. I don’t have anything like that. However it works, writing is a moving target for me. That being said, we will be in the studio in January to start [a new project].

50% OFF ENTIRE STORE ONE DAY ONLY • SUNDAY NOV. 2 400 STATE ST. LOCATION

DRESS TO IMPRESS: Rapper Cam’ron (pictured right with gal pal JuJu) will kick off Halloween weekend on Thursday, October 30, at Velvet Jones.

FEAR FACTOR: Oh, Halloween. Bizarre, divisive, sloppy Halloween. As a UCSB

alum, my connection with this weekend’s festivities is an especially peculiar one. But truthfully, my mostly love, sometimes-hate relationship with Halloween goes waaaayy back. With a birthday that falls the day before (that’s today, ghosts and ghouls!), Halloween always had the added benefit of providing me with ridiculously elaborate, high-stakes dress-up parties — not to mention enough sugar to rot the teeth off five small kids. Growing up, Halloween was my holiday. And you’d better bet I dressed like every Disney princess in the book when it came time to celebrate.

Come college, that tradition continued. Except instead of cakes made out of gummy worms and floor-length gowns, I was taking orange Jell-O shots and championing the “shorter the better” costuming rule. In those four years, Halloween crossed over from child’s play to the one night a year when grown people let their freak flags fly — and still, for whatever reason, I remained dutifully attached.

Nowadays, many years removed from chaotic drunken stumbles down Del Playa Drive, I realize that College Halloween and Adult Halloween are not all that different. The day still goes hand-in-hand with copious sugary consumption. And women are still running around in getups that barely constitute clothes. Most importantly, though, Halloween still marks that one day of the year when folks joyously step outside of the norm, embrace their inner weirdo, and don’t have to worry about getting strange judgmental looks for it. As such, Adult Halloween has brought with it some of my all-time-favorite music-going experiences because what goes better with crazy outfits and pure abandon than good, floor-thumping live tunes?

If you’re headed out of the house this weekend, the options are practically endless as far as events and parties are concerned. (Just check out that list of Day of the Dead celebrations on page 33.) But if you’re hoping for your tricks and treats to be served with a side of amplification, I’ve got you covered.

On Friday night, FUNZONE ( S. Milpas St., located in the East Beach Batting Cages) hosts a six-band lineup featuring some of my favorite budding S.B. talents, as well as Baltimore passers-through Outer Spaces, who craft adorably lo-fi, shoegaze-y folk rock that calls to mind my all-time personal fave, Rilo Kiley. The show starts at 6 p.m. and also features Santa Barbara’s own Cave Babies, Internet, Maru, Nap, and Venturans Soul Hex. The show is all-ages.

Drugs and alcohol are prohibited, but arts, crafts, and free batting cage time is included in the $5 (!!) ticket price. Visit facebook.com/funzonesantabarbara.

Also Friday, Playback Recording Studio ( E. Gutierrez St.) hosts a Halloween bash that features live sets from some of its most loyal customers. On the bill are Colin and Kaleto Erisy Watt, Eric and Madeline, Pacific Haze, and Grooveshine. Tickets are $40 and include beer, wine, and a costume contest with prizes. For info and tickets, call 730-7529.

And if you’re in the mood for a little pre-game action, this Thursday, October 30, Velvet Jones is playing host to Harlem hip-hop giant Cam’ron. Killa Cam may best be known for his feuds nowadays, but I’m not holding it against him.

(Anyone willing to stand up to Kanye is okay in my book, am I right?) Plus, how often do you get the chance to throw on a costume and dance to “Oh Boy” live? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

The 18+ show starts at 9 p.m. with openers Chalk B Music, Yung Deem, Elliot Niezel, and DJ Hecktik. Visit camronsb.nightout.com for tickets and info.

John Wick (101 mins.; R: strong and bloody Keanu Reeves stars as a retired hit man who returns to work to settle a score with the gangsters that ruined his life.

The Judge (141 mins.; R: language, including some sexual references)

A big-city lawyer (Robert Downey Jr.) returns to the small town that he grew up in and where his father, the town judge, is suspected of murder. What this movie needs is some literary equivalent of the rule of law; what we get is emotional gunk worthy only of unequivocal objections.

U.K. gay activists stand behind a group of miners during the 1984 National Union of Mineworkers strike. Despite its bleak backdrop, Pride is a heavyweight contender for the most uplifting, heartwarming, straight-up joyous film of 2014. (KS)

A young man takes off on an adventure that spans three fantastic worlds and forces him to face his greatest fears. The Book of Life is a nice display case for the breathtaking art of Jorge Gutierrez, who also directed. The problem is that the story stalls out into preachy conversations.

73

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF OCTOBER ď˜ťď˜š ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): If you live in Gaza, you don’t have easy access to Kentucky Fried Chicken. The closest KFC restaurant is 35 miles away in the Egyptian city of El-Arish.

But there was a time when you could pay smugglers to bring it to you via one of the underground tunnels that linked Egypt to Gaza. Each delivery took four hours and required the help of two taxis, a hand cart, and a motorbike. (Alas, Egypt destroyed most of the tunnels in early 2014.) I recommend, Aries, that you be as determined and resourceful to make your longed-for connections as the KFC lovers in Gaza were. Halloween costume suggestion: smuggler, bootlegger, drug dealer, black marketeer.

CAPRICORN

(June 21 - July 22): Native American hero Sitting Bull (1831-1890) was a renowned Lakota chief and holy man.

He led his people in their resistance to the U.S. occupation of their land. How did he become so strong and wise? In large part through the eorts of his doting mother, whose name was Her-Holy-Door. Let’s install her as your exemplar for now. May she inspire you to nurture beauty and power in those you love. May she motivate you to be adroit as you perform your duties in service to the future. May the mystery of her name rouse you to ďŹ nd the sacred portal that ushers you to your next big gift. Halloween costume suggestion: a sacred portal, a divine gateway, an amazing door.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): “The egromenious hilarity of psychadisical melarmy, whether rooted in a lissome stretch or a lusty wobble, soon deďŹ sterates into crabolious stompability. So why not be graenbent?â€? So said Noah’s ex-wife Joan of Arc in her interview with St. Crocodile magazine. Heed Joan’s advice, please, Libra. Be proactively saximonious. I’M KIDDING! Everything I just said was nonsense. I hope you didn’t assume it was erudite wisdom full of big words you couldn’t understand. In oering it to you, I was hoping to immunize you against the babble and hype and artiďŹ ce that may soon roll your way. Halloween costume suggestion: a skeptic armed with a shock-proof bullshit-detector. (For inspiration, check out these visuals: bit.ly/bsdetector.)

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): You are at a point in your astrological cycle when you deserve to rake in the rewards that you have been working hard to earn. I expect you to be a magnet for gifts and blessings. The favors and compliments you have doled out will be returned to you. For all the strings you have pulled in behalf of others’ dreams, strings will now be pulled for you. Halloween costume suggestion: a beaming kid hauling around a red wagon full of brightly wrapped presents.

TAURUS

LEO

(Apr. 20 - May 20): It’s urgent that you expand your options. Your freedom of choice can’t lead you to where you need to go until you have more possibilities to choose from. In fact, you’re better o not making a decision until you have a wider selection. To playfully drive home this point to your subconscious mind, I suggest that this Halloween you consider disguising yourself as a slime mold. This unusual creature comes in more than 500 dierent genders, at least 13 of which must collaborate to reproduce. Here’s a photo: bit.ly/yellowslime.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): This is one of those rare times when it’s okay for you to just throw out the dirty dishes that you are too lazy to wash. It’s also permissible to hide from a diďŹƒcult person, spend money on a supposedly foolish indulgence, eat a bowl of ice cream for breakfast, bingewatch a TV show that provokes six months’ worth of emotions in a few hours, and lie in bed for an extra hour fantasizing about sex with a forbidden partner. Don’t make any of these things habits, of course. But for now, it’s probably healthy to allow them. Halloween costume suggestion: total slacker.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): In the animated sci-ďŹ TV sitcom Futurama, Leela is the mutant captain of a spaceship. In one episode, she develops an odd boil on her hindquarters. It has a face and can sing. The actor who provides the vocals for the animated boil’s outpouring of song is Gemini comedian Craig Ferguson, whose main gig is serving as host of a late-night TV talk show on CBS. Telling you this tale is my way of suggesting that you consider going outside your usual niche, as Craig Ferguson did, to oer your talents in a dierent context.

Halloween costume suggestion: Kim Kardashian as a nurse wearing ebola protective gear; science educator Neil deGrasse Tyson as a male stripper; a cat wearing a dog costume, or vice versa.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Our evolutionary ancestors Homo erectus loved to eat delicious antelope brains. The fossil evidence is all over their old stomping grounds in East Africa. Scientists say that this delicacy, so rich in nutrients, helped our forbears build bigger, stronger brains themselves. These days it’s harder but not impossible to make animal brains part of your diet. The Chinese and Koreans eat pig brains, and some European cuisines include beef brains. I’m conďŹ dent, however, that your own brain will be functioning better than ever in the coming weeks, even if you don’t partake of this exotic dish. Be sure to take advantage of your enhanced intelligence. Solve tough riddles! Think big thoughts! Halloween costume suggestion: a brain-eating Homo erectus.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): In AMC’s famous TV drama, a high school chemistry teacher responds to his awful luck by turning to a life of crime. The show’s title, Breaking Bad, refers to what happens when a good person cracks and veers over to the dark side. So then what does “breaking goodâ€? mean? Urbandictionary.com deďŹ nes it like this: “When a criminal, junkie, or gang-banger gets sweet and sparkly, going to church, volunteering at soup kitchens, and picking the kids up from school.â€? I’m concerned that you are at risk of undergoing a similar conversion, Scorpio. You seem so nice and kind and mild lately. I guess that’s ďŹ ne as long as you don’t lose your edge. Halloween costume suggestion: a criminal with a halo, a sweet and sparkly gang-banger, or a Buddhist monk junkie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): I’ve got two possible remedies for your emotional congestion. You might also want to make these two remedies part of your Halloween shtick. The ďŹ rst remedy is captured by the English word “lalochezia.â€?

It refers to a catharsis that comes from uttering profane language. The second remedy is contained in the word “tarantism.� It means an urge to dance manically as a way to relieve melancholy. For your Halloween disguise, you could be a wildly dancing obscenity-spouter.

PR OFE SSION$L MASSAGE

@

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Two physicists in Massachusetts are working on technology that will allow people to shoot laser beams out of their eyes. For Halloween, I suggest that you pretend you have already acquired this superpower. It’s time for you to be brash and jaunty as you radiate your inuence with more conďŹ dence. I want to see you summon reserves of charismatic clout you haven’t dared to call on before. Costume suggestion: The X-Men mutant named Cyclops or the legendary Native America creature known as the thunderbird, which emits lightning from its eyes.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): The African nation of Swaziland has passed a law prohibiting witches from ying their broomsticks any higher than 150 meters above ground.

That will be a big problem for Piscean witches. There is currently an astrological mandate for them to swoop and glide and soar as high and free as they want to. The same is metaphorically true for all Piscean non-witches everywhere. This is your time to swoop and glide and soar as high and free as you want to. Halloween costume suggestion: high-ying witch, a winged angel, the Silver Surfer, or a mythic bird like the Garuda.

Wine Film of the Week American Wine Story:

ELECTION DAY Tuesday, November 4 76

THE INDEPENDENT

october 30, 2014

The path of many American winemakers borders on cliche: with corporate and/or conspicuous consumption‑ driven life getting them down, a certain bottle of wine or special trip to Europe produces a great epiphany that sparks a walk down the road less traveled, that of ditching the traditional, more lucrative career in favor of risking it all on wine. Thankfully, this documentary, which came out online this month, puts a compelling if tragic spin on this saga, mixing fresh insight from winemakers in Washington, Missouri, Arizona, Virginia, and NorCal with the untimely 2004 death of 38‑year‑old Oregon winemaker Jimi Brooks, and how his young son and sister deal with his legacy. The cinematography is stunning, the energy of those interviews, including former quarterback Drew Bledsoe, GrapeRadio.com guy Jay Selman, and Oregon/Arizona pioneer Dick Erath, is inspiring, and the end result is a good doc for those who love the romance of wine. Buy it on iTunes or at americanwinestory.vhx.tv.
