“When you get $300,000 for sitting on the couch, you model that lifestyle to the next generation.” –Former 3rd District Supervisor Gail Marshall

Chumash Diligence “Tribal members own their own businesses, they work in fulfilling careers, they serve diligently in tribal government.

A generation ago, only a few tribal students had attended college. Today, nearly 100 tribal students are in colleges and universities all across the country.

Nobody is sitting on the couch.”

–Nakia Zavalla Culture Director Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians

Camie Barnwell (pictured with her husband, Brian) has written about Fiesta for nearly 20 years and says her unflagging interest comes from a love of most all things Spanish. To keep things fresh, she’s dug for the elusive and the unusual: Why is Fiesta no longer celebrated under the full August moon?

Who was Jose Manero? Where, oh where, is the best margarita in town? And of course the memorable “Fiestamama” piece with its eight-Camie Photoshop image in The Indy’s 2013 edition. This issue, she brings us stories of Fiesta romance through the decades — a tribute from a writer who grabs the heart of every story she tells.

law & disorder Mother Nature is to blame for the woes of this oiled cormorant that struggled to take off from Goleta Beach last Wednesday, Coast Guard officials said. After two kayakers reported a large oil slick — three miles long and half a mile wide — 1,000 feet off the pier, the Coast Guard conducted flyovers and collected samples to determine if the crude came from a fresh spill or natural seep, or if it was leftover from the May 19 Refugio Oil Spill up the coast. Lab results released this Wednesday confirmed what local seep experts had predicted, that the sheen arose out of an unusually large burp of Coal Oil Point seep oil from the — Tyler Hayden sea bed.

Bring Out Newcomers Incumbent Murillo Flexes Big with $33,000 War Chest

T

hirteen candidates have already taken out papers to run in this November’s Santa Barbara City Council election, in which candidates — for the first time in 50 years—will be elected by districts rather than at large. The extent to which conventional political coalitions hold sway under the new manner of elections remains very much an open question. Likewise for how much district elections will open the door of political opportunity to Latino candidates and other candidates pushing more narrowly tailored neighborhood-centric agendas. But with the filing deadline for council candidates still a few days away, the lineup of so many first-time candidates—nine—and the large number of Latino-named candidates — seven — suggests this year’s election will deviate considerably from the political same old, same old.

In this year’s race, three of the six newly created districts are up for grabs, two of which have a majority-minority population of Latino voters. Of those, the Eastside district —also known as District 1—appears to be the most wide open. That’s in part because there’s no incumbent seeking to hold onto his or her seat. It’s also the area of town from which the fewest number of successful council candidates have come over time. Currently, five candidates are vying for this spot, and only one—Cruzito Cruz—has run before.

Although Cruz has run many times, he’s never 8

sought to raise campaign cash and has been seen more as a protest vote. Cruz was also one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed against City Hall that led to the adoption of district elections. He ultimately experienced a severe falling out with his fellow plaintiffs and their attorney, and he was effectively “fired” from the litigation.

Another plaintiff suing for district elections in that same case, Jacqueline Inda, is also running for the council. Although this is Inda’s first bid for public office, she achieved prominence fighting the gang injunction proposed by the City of Santa Barbara and subsequently defeated in court. Inda is also involved in a bitter fight among Milpas Street business owners over rival business improvement district proposals. Of the two, hers is by far the smaller and cheaper, and it appears to be backed by a much larger number of Latino shop owners. The rival improvement district is backed by the Milpas Community Association, which is headed by Sharon Byrne, who, not coincidentally, is running for the council’s Westside district. Inda reports having raised $8,400. Of that, at least $2,500 comes from key supporters of the district elections lawsuit.

The Democratic Party has thrown its lot behind Andria Martinez Cohen, who has lived in the district for about two years and just outside district boundaries for eight years before that. Although Cohen has not been involved in local political campaigns, she’s been active with Women’s Economic Ventures and the Santa Barbara Housing Authority. To

date, she has raised $10,300. Also running for District 1 are Jason Dominguez — onetime director of the Legal Aid Foundation—who reported no campaign donations thus far, and Michael Merenda, a longtime resident of the New Faulding Hotel, free-thinker, and vocal critic of government-funded programs treating the mentally ill and those with addiction issues. Likewise, Merenda has not reported raising any campaign cash. Rumors abound that the Republican Party is seeking to field a candidate it can back for District 1, but thus far no candidate has surfaced.

Leading the field for the council’s second district — which encompasses most of the Mesa and the upper Westside—is incumbent councilmember Randy Rowse, now seeking his second full term. A business-minded moderate-conservative and downtown restaurant owner, Rowse has strong ties with the business community, the Downtown Organization, and various real estate organizations.

Initially, it appeared Rowse might run unopposed, and his campaign coffers — $9,000 — reflected that. Since then, however, a number of candidates have emerged from the woodwork, though none have reported raising any money and none have run for office before in Santa Barbara. The best known is Robert Burke, a military vet given to poetic Zen koans when addressing the council as a member of the public. Burke has been an advocate of sobriety programs and civil discourse, and he only demonstrates an edge of anger when complaining about the cont’d page 10 

Following the theft of valuables from cars in Goleta’s Kellogg Avenue and Berkeley Road area on 7/6, the police in Santa Paula arrested a man driving a stolen car, and containing the stolen property, on 7/16. Santa Barbara Sheriff’s detectives subsequently learned that William Carroll (pictured) of Santa Paula had been dropped off in Goleta, and they believe he then staged a one-man crime spree, stealing property from seven cars he found unlocked and testing the doors on many others.

city Food vendor carts will come under scrutiny during Fiesta, warned the Santa Barbara Police Department this week. Such roving vendors face arrest, citation, or confiscation of their property if found around parades and Old Spanish Days venues. Ever since the City Council outlawed street vendors decades ago, pushcarts, food carts, and other mobile vendors have not been allowed to operate on Santa Barbara streets. Pushcarts are sometimes permitted for special events or nonprofit events, Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Riley Harwood said.

But such dispensation has not been sought for Old Spanish Days.

This fiscal year, which ended in June, nearly a million more dollars came to the City of Santa Barbara than expected from its transient occupancy tax (TOT), or bed tax.

The city netted a total of $18.5 million, surpassing the expected $17.6 million. The year was marked by a 10.3 percent growth in bed taxes, which derive from a 12 percent surcharge on the cost of hotel, motel, bed and breakfast, vacation rental, or other temporary visitor lodging; 10 percent is unrestricted revenue, and 2 percent goes to restoring creeks and improving water quality. Altogether, the city got $1,785,905 from TOTs in June, an increase of 6.7 percent over the previous June.

Who’s Makin’ the Big Bucks?

couNty A gaggle of Santa Barbara officials gathered at the Courthouse Sunken Gardens on Friday to announce the relaunch of the county’s 2-1-1 Helpline, which is operated by the Community Action Commission and connects residents with counseling, health care, housing, food, and a wide range of other nonemergency services. The directory had been essentially offline for two years because of funding issues. As Mayor Helene Schneider put it, “[It’s] one stop where anyone can go to get good data about everything that is happening right where they live.”

The University of California’s recent announcement that the school system will soon begin increasing its hourly minimum wage to $15 by October 2017 was followed by an annual payroll report detailing that system-wide, UCLA’s athletic coaches and doctors make the most.

The top earner for 2014 was UCLA football head coach Jim Mora, who earned $3.5 million. Since taking over the Bruins in 2012, the former Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks coach has gone 29-11 and last year came within a game of reaching the PAC-12 championship matchup. Also on UCLA’s payroll, highrisk pregnancy obstetrician Khalil Tabsh earned $2.3 million last year, while liver transplant surgeon Ronald Busuttil made $2.2 million, according to the report.

Closer to home, UCSB’s longtime men’s soccer coach Tim Vom Steeg — who’s led the Gauchos to several Big West titles and a 2006 NCAA Division 1 championship — made $151,000. In women’s soccer, Paul Stumpf, the winningest coach in Gaucho history, earned about $70,000.

Basketball coach Bob Williams made $336,760 in 2014, and departing women’s basketball coach Carlene Mitchell earned $155,000.

On the academic side, Norwegian economist Finn Kydland, who founded UCSB’s Laboratory for Aggregate Economics and Finance, topped the campus payroll with $452,000. Kydland was a corecipient of the 2004 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, the same year he joined UCSB. Longtime UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang earns $324,000 annually, while UC’s highest-paid chancellor, San Francisco’s Sam Hawgood, makes — Keith Hamm $750,000.

lagie Jammeh first came to the United States from his native Republic of the Gambia in 2014 to attend UCSB. He had been awarded a Gambian state-funded scholarship to complete a degree in global studies. At first things went well. His grades were good, he made friends, and his family seemed proud of his success. Suddenly everything changed. Around Thanksgiving he received a phone call from Gambia telling him his scholarship was immediately revoked and that he was to return home to apologize. Apologize for what? For posting a Facebook status in support of a gay friend.

Now he is afraid he will not be able to stay in school, afraid he will lose his visa, afraid he will be deported, and, most importantly, afraid he will be forced to return to Gambia, where gay people and their supporters face intense persecution.

The post that caused all his troubles read: “No one should be denied their fundamental human rights because of their sexuality.” Jammeh wrote this because a gay friend had invited him to attend San Francisco’s Pride celebrations. His studies prevented him from going, so instead he decided to use social media to show his support. It was important to Jammeh to declare this because since coming to the United States, his views about gay people had changed substantially: “They’re not different.”

In Jammeh’s home country, to be gay is a serious crime. Even to vocalize support for gay rights is forbidden. Homosexual activity is currently punishable by life in prison and, in some cases, by death.

Even though his own family taught him to respect all people, at the same time he absorbed cultural ideas that were taught in independent.com

Gambian schools, including that homosexuals are “evil.” But he never knew openly gay people until he came to this country.“When I got here,” he said, “I got helped by gay people. They gave me a ride. They talked to me.

We went to the bar together. You know, we had fun.”

Commenting on the controversial post, Jammeh said,“I was just doing what I believe is right.” Essentially, Jammeh believes that homophobic laws are part of a culture that denies human rights to everyone: “All I’m saying is treat people equally.”

As a youngster growing up in his home village, he always dreamed of becoming a lawyer. After receiving top marks at the best high school in Gambia, Jammeh is the first person in his family to go to college. His dream was to return to Gambia, practice law, help his mother, and serve as an example to his 17 siblings that they, too, can follow their dreams. His goal has always been for other Gambian young people to hear about his path to education and say, “If he could do it, I could do it, too.” Now he wonders what would happen to him if he were forced to return. “I love my country,” he said, but he also believes that to return now would be dangerous.

In the meantime, he has found a temporary family within the Gaucho community: the university administrators who are helping in any way they can and his friends who have come together in support. Jammeh started a GoFundMe page to pay for his tuition, which has already raised over $10,000 in 10 days. But it’s the supportive messages he has received that are keeping him going. “I don’t want people to see me as a hero for this or for anything,” he said, “because I’m not.” n

city elections cont’d from p. 8 administration of certain affordable housing programs. Also running for District 2 are Colleen Ford and Luis Esparza. The last to take out papers is K. Missy McSweeneyZeitsoff, who served on the Malibu City Council before moving to Santa Barbara.

She has indicated she intends to run strictly grassroots, meaning no money will be raised.

The fight for District 3 — which encompasses Santa Barbara’s Westside and constitutes the second “majority-minority district” carved out as a condition of the district elections lawsuit settlement — could prove intense. Incumbent councilmember Cathy Murillo — who holds down the left side of the political aisle on the City Council — faces off against Sharon Byrne, a longtime community activist with the Milpas Community Association. Byrne and Murillo ran against each other four years ago, and since then the two have sparred over the Casa Esperanza Homeless Shelter — Byrne was outspokenly critical that shelter operations were taking a toll on the Milpas neighborhood, Murillo more supportive of the services the shelter provided — and the business improvement district spearheaded by Byrne and the Milpas Community Association. Although Byrne is best known for her work on the Eastside’s Milpas area, she lives near Haley and Castillo streets, where she agitated for more city services after a well-publicized slaying several years ago.

Of all the candidates, Murillo has amazed with by far the biggest war chest, reporting $33,000 thus far. Murillo enjoys strong backing by the Democratic Central Committee and her campaign donations — from labor unions public and private, $2,000 from herself, and former mayors Hal Conklin and Marty Blum. Santa Barbara Independent

Publisher Joe Cole — currently lobbying against a tougher proposed city newsstand ordinance — donated $500 to Murillo, a former reporter for The Independent. Although Byrne reported only $1,100, the reporting deadline fell before a campaign kickoff and fundraising event held at El Zarape restaurant, so that amount understates her reserves. Also running for the third district is Cristina Cardoso, about whom little is known yet and who has raised no campaign cash.

Campaign organizers are still trying to get their bearings on how to wage districtwide campaigns as opposed to the citywide races of years past. The relatively small size of the districts — and even smaller number of likely voters — seems to favor candidates who can mount effective door-to-door campaigns as opposed to media blitzkriegs.

Already, a few weird wrinkles have become apparent. Although the district elections lawsuit was argued and won on grounds of ethnic exclusion, some of the most active supporters of district elections are backing Sharon Byrne against Cathy Murillo, the only Latina or Latino elected to office in the past 20 years. Murillo — like most elected officials in good standing with the Democratic Party — never embraced district elections, though she has since reconciled herself to playing the role of district representative and is campaigning accordingly. Despite the race-based arguments needed to prevail in court, district elections proponents contend the real issue was always neighborhood representation, and those involved with the lawsuit contend Byrne has been a stronger advocate of neighborhood concerns than Murillo. This is an assertion — not surprisingly — that Murillo strongly disputes. n

haggen still taking heat

Haggen Food & Pharmacy has received substantial community backlash since The Santa Barbara Independent reported last week that the Washington-based grocery chain laid off 14 developmentally disabled courtesy clerks in southern Santa Barbara County. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) disclosed this week additional information about the scope of the layoffs — several hundred other workers throughout the company similarly lost their jobs when the entire courtesy clerk position was eliminated.

UFCW President Ricardo Icaza said Haggen cut the hours of most checkers, as well, after acquiring 146 Albertsons and Vons locations throughout California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada as part of a merger deal between Safeway — Vons’ parent company — and Albertsons. “While we understand that Haggen is struggling in some locations,” he said, “we are totally opposed to their decision to reduce most full-time food and general merchandise clerks.” The moves were a violation of bargaining agreements, Icaza claimed, and the union has submitted a grievance with the state. A class-action discrimination lawsuit was filed Friday on behalf of the disabled workers.

Bill Shaner, CEO for Haggen’s Pacific Southwest division, admitted the company’s growth into new markets has been “challenging,” and he said the decision to implement layoffs was painful but necessary. He said employees were let go based on job classification and seniority, in compliance with collective bargaining agreements.

“Having to implement layoffs has been extremely difficult,” Shaner went on, “and I am especially disheartened by the fact that our associates with developmental disabilities were impacted by these changes.” Haggen is already helping former employees find other jobs, he said. The company has declined to disclose exactly how many layoffs took place.

In an interview, Craig Renn, a disabled PathPoint client and Southern California native who worked for more than two years as a courtesy clerk at the Fairview Vons before Haggen let him go, said he “loved everything” about his old job and will miss “the people” most of all. He is currently unemployed and seeking work with assistance from PathPoint. Commenting on his layoff, Craig said, “It’s not good for — Léna Garcia me” and that his job had given him a sense of “purpose.”

hen he was in the 4th grade, Rex Stephens plopped his BMX bike into a shopping cart and rolled it over to a machine shop called Meeker’s Tweekers near his home in Concord, California. Once there, he told the guys at the shop that he wanted them to chop the bike in two and weld the front half to the cart so that he and his friends would have a new contraption on which to bomb the biggest hill in town.

“Did they do it?” I asked him a couple of weeks ago as we sipped coffee at Muddy Waters, just across Haley Street from his own fabrication studio, the home of Santa Barbara Cruisers, where he and fellow craftsman Shawn Ramirez crank out single-speed sculptures. It’s also the location of a juried cruiser show prior to the annual Fiesta Cruiser run, the unofficial closing ceremony of Fiesta weekend where hundreds of revelers on onespeed bikes with 26-inch wheels head off from Stearns Wharf and ride to Goleta Beach.

“Yes,” he replied, and we both cracked up laughing. Stephens is a throwback to an era when we hadn’t yet become so alienated from our material world that we needed to invent a term like “DIY.” Doing it yourself is just what you did.

Especially when it came to bicycles. Now, the cycling industry peddles products for

every subniche imaginable. Stephens, however, grew up during—and participated in— a distinct history where those who wished to push bike technology’s capability to conquer new terrain had no choice but to experiment with home-cooked modifications.

This was especially true for downhill mountain biking, Stephens’s second love after BMX racing. In order to fly down slopes in the Santa Barbara backcountry — by some accounts the birthplace of the term “mountain bike”—Stephens and his cohort would affix motorcycle handlebars to their bikes, swap in moped shocks, or heat tires in ovens to change their durometer (which refers to hardness).

The first geared offering from Santa Barbara Cruisers, available in the fall, will pay homage to the Frankenstein-like “klunkers” cobbled together in the ’70s by mountain biking pioneers in Marin County who attached road-bike derailleurs to pre-WWII newsboy bikes.

Stephens’s experimentation with bike frames flourished when he began hanging out at Bikesmiths (then in Santa Barbara but now in Carpinteria) in the early ’90s. Owner Jim Hopperstad would let Stephens use his welding equipment, joking that “I was there to clean up his mess.” The two still collaborate on projects, and recently, Hopperstad gifted Stephens a Kennedy toolbox that includes, among other mechanical artifacts, the acety-

Holiday Parties,

When his furniture orders started to dry up with the onset of the Great Recession, he decided to follow his dream of fabricating cruisers from the frame up.

A multicultural mash-up of lowrider, BMX, and beach culture, the cruiser scene is a distinctly California phenomenon. As Stephens watched the Cruiser Run grow in popularity every year — he first joined in on the fun during iteration 13 of the 36-year-old tradition —he came to believe that quality cruisers provided an untapped market.

Santa Barbara Cruisers’ burgeoning operation offers unfinished frames for $650 and chromed or painted frames and forks for $1,000, an unqualified steal in the world of handmade bikes. Stephens has diversified into multiple frame designs, including a women’s step-through model, as well as beautifully finished components like stems and handlebars.

At the age of 19, John flew in the right seat of Caroll Shelby’s DC-3.

His love of aviation drew him to a career as a professional pilot and flight instructor. In 1987, John flew Twin Otters for Trans World Express, then in 1988, he flew with Wings West Airlines (an American Eagle commuter) where as captain, he flew the Metroliner, Jetstream and Saab 340, retiring as chief pilot in 2001. John owned and flew his own Cessna 182 and RV-8 and was active in the general aviation community for decades.

John was chairman of the Santa Barbara Airport Commission (2006, 2007 & 2012) and served on the board from 1991-1997; his tireless service helped create the new Santa Barbara Airport Terminal building and many other improvements to the Santa Barbara Airport.

He is survived by three cousins, Linda McGinnis, Loris Clark, and Linda Lee, as well as many dear friends near and far. John will be remembered and missed for his laughter, passion for beautiful cars and fast airplanes, love of life and appreciation of beauty, and mostly for his deep and abiding friendship and for always taking the high road.

It would not be unusual for Katie to bring groceries for neighbors who were unable to shop for themselves. She never forgot a birthday and she could always find the perfect gift for any occasion. She was a dear friend to many and those who received Katie’s compassionate generosity received a gift indeed.

Above all else, Katie loved her children and her family. They will treasure many memories of Katie’s loyalty and kindness. She will be missed beyond measure.

Katie was preceded in death by her parents, Ben and Annabel and her beloved brother, Richard Burkard. She is survived by her son, Andrew (Wilmington, NC), her daughter, Leah Dallas (Santa Barbara) and her former husband, Ken Gaston. She is also survived by her sisters, Patricia Burkard, Martha Briare (Vince), and Dorothy Olivera, her brother, Michael Burkard (Paula), and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at San Roque Catholic Church on Monday the 10th of August at 1:00 pm. A celebration of Katie’s life will be held at Steven’s Park following the service.

On July 21, 2015, we unexpectedly lost our mother, sister, aunt, and friend. Katie Burkard Gaston, a Santa Barbara native, died suddenly at her home in North Carolina. Born to Ben and Annabel Burkard at Saint Francis Hospital on March 4, 1952, Katie was the youngest of six siblings who grew up in the San Roque neighborhood. She attended San Roque Catholic School and graduated from San Marcos High School in 1970. She married Ken Gaston in 1985 and they joyfully raised their two children, Andrew and Leah, on the Westside of Santa Barbara.

Katie could always be found at Monroe Elementary School where her children attended. She volunteered for everything! Often in the background, she offered tireless support wherever she was needed.

Andrew and Leah followed in their mother’s footsteps, both graduating from San Marcos High School.

Stanton died May 14, 2015, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital from complications of a fall. He had been undergoing treatment for a rare form of leukemia since January. He was 78 years old.

Stan was born January 23, 1937, in Indianapolis, IN, the youngest of five children born to Robert F. and Edith Mae Murphy Peale. He attended schools in Southport, IN, and graduated from Southport High School in 1955. In 1959 he received his B.S. degree in Engineering sciences with highest distinction from Purdue University.

Stan received an M.S. in 1962 and a Ph.D. in 1965 from Cornell University. He met Priscilla L. Cobb in 1959 at Cornell, and they were married in Boston, MA, on June 25, 1960. Sons Robert and Douglas were born in Ithaca, NY, in 1961 and 1963 respectively.

In 1964 he was a research associate at Cornell’s Center for Radio Physics and Space Research. In September 1965, he became an assistant professor in the Department of Astronomy and the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCLA. He transferred to the Department of Physics at UCSB in September 1968, and retired from UCSB as professor emeritus in 1994. He continued as a research professor mentoring postdoctoral fellows and actively doing research until his death. His last paper was submitted to a scientific

journal for publication on May 11, just three days before his death.

His research included the prediction of widespread volcanism on Jupiter’s moon Io, the derivation of a general theoretical framework that governs the rotational states of bodies subject to tides, the study of tidal evolution in satellite systems, and the development of an ingenious procedure to determine the size and state of Mercury’s core. He was also a pioneer in the study of extrasolar planets, both in terms of their dynamics and their detection by microlensing. Stan’s work illustrated the power of physics to probe the interiors of planets.

He was honored by being named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1981, Fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 1988, and by having an asteroid named Peale 3612 also in 1988.

His research was recognized by the Newcomb Cleveland Prize of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1979, the NASA medal for exceptional scientific achievement in 1980, the James Craig Watson award of the National Academy of Sciences in 1982, the Dirk Brouwer Award of the Division of Dynamical Astronomy of the American Astronomical Society in 1993, and membership in the National Academy of Sciences in 2009.

Stan was preceded in death by his parents, sister Wilma Mills, and brothers Robert J. and John C. Peale. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Priscilla of Goleta, son Robert E. Peale, daughter-inlaw Melinda A. Wright, grandson Christian Alexander Peale all of Winter Park, FL, and son Douglas A. Peale of San Jose, CA. Other survivors include his sister Virginia of Indianapolis, IN, sister-in-law Mildred Peale of Thousand Oaks, CA, two nephews, and three nieces.

On Friday, August 14, 2015, there will be a graveside service at Goleta Cemetery, 44 S. San Antonio Road, Santa Barbara, CA, at 2 p.m., and a celebration of life reception will follow at the family home at 3 p.m.

Fast Times at Fiestas Past

VIVA VAQUEROS: More than 600 horses clop through Friday’s Fiesta Parade, which featured longhorns and a burning blacksmith’s float one time.

My mixed memories of yesteryear’s Fiestas include longhorn cattle rumbling up State Street, wild-looking horses, rowdy crowds at El Paseo, and a blacksmith float rolling along afire.

I never saw actor Leo Carrillo ride his horse into a downtown bar, but old-timers swear he did it more than once. One day, they say, Leo got in a fight with a man who took exception to Carrillo’s flirtation with the man’s wife. Leo got punched out.

Things have tamed down now, a virtual pony ride down the primrose path compared with the sometimes raucous Fiestas of past Old Spanish Days.

There was the day when Sam Smisher, a giant of a man, stogie clamped in his jaws, drove his prize mules pulling an old blacksmith float up to the starting line, not realizing that it was on fire. “We kept yelling at him, ‘You’re on fire,’ ” recalled longtime Fiesta honcho Wayne Powers. But Sam was deaf and couldn’t hear. Finally they got Sam’s attention and the fire out. A Goleta teenager, aboard because of some honor, got off and refused to get back on.

rOwdy wranglers:

One year Clarence Minetti was allowed to haul a dozen or so of his longhorns to town for the parade. Once here, the fearsome beasts refused to get out of the trailer. Men had to build a dirt ramp to get them out.“They looked like menaces,” recalled Powers. “But they were extremely docile.”

But I’ll tell you, when I spotted the herd lumbering through downtown, kids sitting on the curb just a few feet away, I did a double take. One firecracker, I figured, and there’d be a stampede. But the creatures behaved themselves all the way to Earl Warren Showgrounds for the rodeo.

Party people always made it a practice to jam El Paseo on parade day, music booming, a mariachi band on hand, margaritas flowing, and screaming girls dancing on the tables.

Fiesta, with that big romantic moon hovering over Santa Barbara, is a time for short-lived romances that fade with the Fiesta moon.

One year, 1964 I think, News-Press photographer Ray Borges and I covered the parade on roller skates. Not sure why, but I have a photo of us somewhere. Like the longhorns, it was a one-time thing. In fact, Fiesta was full of one-time things.

Tony Avis would bring his wild-looking backcountry packhorses over from La Conchita and rent them out for the parade. I rode one year and got astride as ragged-looking a specimen of horseflesh as I ever saw. But it was perfect, even with a greenhorn aboard.

Sad to say, Tony was killed at just 53 years old in the 2005 La Conchita landslide. I think his herd survived.

One year I climbed on another horse, which refused to answer the reins. Kids came up to pet it, which frightened me more than the horse did. I promptly traded it in for a nice old granny.

Skip Shalhoob proudly rode his horse on parade day, bare-chested and dressed as an Indian.

Hard to believe, but years ago the CHP blocked off the 101 at State Street to give the

parade the right of way and rerouted freeway traffic through town. Finally the State Street underpass was finished, and that’s the way the parade goes now, horses slip-sliding down and back up.

I’ll never forget the year we dressed the kids up in their Fiesta finest for the Children’s Parade. For some reason we decided that one of the kids should hold our white cat, Big Frisky. What was I thinking? The parade kicked off with a bang and a drum thump that frightened poor Big Frisky and sent him scampering off.

With the kids sobbing, we searched all over downtown but couldn’t find Big Frisky.

Ruined the day. Much later, near dusk, we made one last pass. There, on Chapala Street, someone spotted Big Frisky cowering near a building. What joy reigned on our household that night!

Today, Fiesta is largely devoid of the roughand-ready characters of yesterday. One calming influence came when the city banned drinking on the street some years ago. Times have changed, and people have changed. The main attractions now are little girls in ruffled dresses and boys with painted-on mustaches, herded along to dance at De la Guerra Plaza by proud mamas.

Is Fiesta more fun these days? What do you think?

I applaud Vons, Albertsons, and Ralphs for their long history of providing employment and promotional opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities.

I understand that businesses make decisions based on profitability goals, but the impact of a layoff on the people we support is so much broader than Haggen has considered. The unemployment rate for workingage people with disabilities is nearly double the rate of those without a disability: 21 million out of 26 million people with disabilities are not even in the labor force, though the vast majority of them want to work.

Regardless of the individual’s circumstance, abilities, or disabilities, we believe that steady employment is the foundation of a healthy and fulfilling life in the community.

Video Deceit

P

lanned Parenthood’s top priority is providing confidential, compassionate care. Our doctors and nurses provide essential health services, including life-saving breast and cervical cancer screenings, birth control, STD testing and treatment, and well-women exams. We also offer safe and legal abortion, which makes up less than 10 percent of our health services and is a critical component to reproductive health care.

Planned Parenthood is no stranger to harassment and political attacks. The recent deceptively edited videos targeting tissue donation programs are just the latest in an ongoing campaign of harassment to ban

abortion and eliminate funding for access to birth control and lifesaving cancer screenings.

Although our Planned Parenthood affiliate has never participated in tissue donation programs, we value women’s contributions to lifesaving medical research. Women’s personal decisions should be respected, not attacked. The health centers that offer the opportunity for women to donate fetal tissue rigorously follow all state and federal laws, obtain full consent from their patients, and adhere to the highest ethical and legal standards.

The outrageous allegations made in these videos are simply not true. Neither Planned Parenthood nor the women making tissue donations profit in any way.

It’s clear that the discredited activists behind these videos will stop at nothing to prevent Planned Parenthood from providing critical reproductive health care to the millions who rely on us.

They will not be successful. We will not let that happen. — Julie Mickelberry, VP Planned Parenthood of S.B., Ventura & S.L.O. Counties

I’m in the Mood for …

Old Spanish Days Goes Romántica

by Camie Barnwell

inspiration and opportunity. Fiesta serves up both on a moonbeam. From the fleeting El Paseo tryst and Casa de la Guerra first kiss to marriage proposals and vows exchanged, Old Spanish Days has united countless couples whose paths might not have otherwise come together. This year’s El Presidente, Cas Stimson, knows this to be true, as he met his wife, Kathleen McClintock, at a Fiesta party in 1989 and for that reason chose Fiesta Romántica as this year’s theme.

“It was like a rocket,” said Stimson of the cupid’s arrow that pierced them. Stimson homed in and played a fullcourt press. After a bit of prodding, McClintock fell hard — and then head over heels. “I was usually very conservative about my feelings,” McClintock confessed.“But we were dancing and having a great time, and all of a sudden, I looked at him and blurted out, ‘I’m going to marry you.’ He said, ‘I know.’”

With romántica in mind, I started to casually ask around: “Do you have a romantic Fiesta memory, and

do you mind sharing it in a very public way, like, to the tune of 40,000-plus readership?” The stories slowly surfaced and then, suddenly, gushed in. After weeks of listening to love stories, I finally sat down to review my interviews and write, which made me reflect on one of my most savory Fiesta moments: the time I serenaded my husband at Casa de la Guerra, where we were married the year prior.

I’m no singer, but the mariachi trio filled in the blanks, and I belted out one heartfelt Spanish love song about the suffering that comes from truly loving someone: “Usted es la culpable, de todas mis angustias.”

My husband rose and kissed me with a dip as the Casa Cantina crowd howled in delight.

I will never forget the look on his face—enraptured joy.

Stimson and McClintock believe that the true “spirit” of Fiesta is not about a dancer or competition but rather “about a force of nature, the way we chose to live our life,” Stimson said. “Over all these years, Kathy has just filled me with the passion and romance that we feel in this town toward Fiesta, and I knew that had to be my theme. There is something unusual happening this year, something in the air, and people want to be part of it.” courtesy

ian said. “We were both surprised by how well we matched once our lips connected, and we were fused together as soul mates. This may sound a little cheesy, but that’s the best way I can describe it.”

Two years later, Rahimian and Koenig were mar married at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, followed by a reception at El Paseo Restaurant.“We had friends and family come from all over the world, including Iran, Aus Austria, Germany, and Italy,” said Rahimian, who was born in Iran but has lived in Santa Bar Barbara singe age 9. “What makes our story incredibly romantic is that we are from different parts of the world but some somehow we both ended up in Santa Barbara, fell in love, and got married. Fiesta will always remind me that true love and friendship will always win, and that I am fortunate to have fallen in love with a man who moved from across the world to establish a life with me in beautiful Santa Barbara.”

t was 1987, and Rosa Chavez was 16. A few of the roommates in the Hope Ranch house she helped take care of invited her to the Fiesta mercado at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish on the Eastside. “When we got there, I thought ‘I’m going to dance tonight,’” she said in Spanish, remembering that the party was packed with handsome young men around her age. Then one caught her eye.

“He was shy. So was I. He asked me to dance. I liked him,” Chavez confessed, speaking in Spanish.

The two exchanged phone numbers.

“But when I got back to my room, I threw the phone number away because I already had a boyfriend back in Colorado,” Chavez explained. “The next day, I thought, ‘I know very few people here in Santa Barbara. It would not be bad to have another friend here.’”

Chavez’s instincts told her to dig the number out of the trash and beg the woman of the house to allow her to use the phone.

She called Ernesto Cardenas. “I told myself that if he answered the phone, then it was meant to be,” she said. In a time before cell phones, Chavez saw it as fate that Ernesto Cardenas had just walked in the door from work and was able to take the call.

“We set it up to meet back at Guadalupe,” she said. “But when I got there, it was so crowded, I looked and looked and couldn’t find him anywhere. I thought maybe he changed his mind,” she said.“When I got back home, he called me and told me he had looked everywhere for me and couldn’t find me either.”

The two shy souls persisted. They set a plan to meet back at GuadaGuadalupe for the last day of the festivities. “When we saw each other, it was cupid’s arrow,” she said.“We’ve never been apart since then.”

Married with two daughters, Jocy and Erandy, the Cardenases have faithfully participated in Fiesta every year. You’ll see the couple in full charro, silver-studded regalia, riding together in the horse parade.

Blind Date turns to Love at First Sight t

I

les was about to pull into the Santa Barbara station. A young college chap and Santa Barbara native, Ben Burkard hid behind a pillar at the station, waiting to see what his date would look like when she stepped off the train.

See, Ben was being set up with his college roommate’s girlfriend’s best friend, Annabel. The girls came up on the train to join the college roommates at a new festival called Patricia Burkard Old Spanish Days Fiesta.

“My dad tells the story that he was so worried, hiding behind a pole, wondering what she’d look like and whether he’d be stuck with someone he didn’t like the whole Fiesta weekend,” said Patricia Burkard, telling the story of how her parents met, and she and her five siblings later came to be. “The train pulled in, and off come the girls. And there she was, my mother, a real beauty with pretty red hair, gregarious, a smile on her face, looking like she was ready to have fun. It was instant love for my dad. He was just smitten by her. My mom always said that she thought he was pretty nice, too.”

Ben and Annabel — who have both passed away—spent a wonderful Fiesta together, strolling along the shore, dancing by moonlight, watching the parade. They were engaged by Valentine’s Day of 1930, and married that August.

Although she and her friend were already 22 years old, there was much discussion as to whether the two girls should be allowed to make the trip to Santa Barbara at all.“There were many letters that went back and

forth before the parents decided that it was okay for the girls to come to Santa Barbara without a chaperone,” Patricia said.“It was decided that the girls could come, as long as they were chaperoned by Ben’s parents.”

Obviously, Fiesta always held a special place in her parents’ hearts.

“Fiesta always brings back memories of them for me,” Patricia said. “They watched Fiesta grow over the years but liked to remember the old days, always under the full moon. It was all very romantic for them.”

Dunn was both humbled and proud to see the strong Spanish influence Santa Barbara has preserved so well. “It brings out a great feeling of pride in my culture seeing the Spanish flag hanging everywhere and how much Santa Barbara embraces that part of their history,” he said. “I cannot wait for my family from Spain to experience Fiesta for themselves and celebrate the greatest day of my life, marrying my best friend in her beautiful hometown, which also feels like home to me. ¡Viva la Fiesta!”

Barney Brantingham has written about the celebrations for five decades. No wonder that he had his own story to share: a romantic turning point one warm Fiesta day when he was courting his now wife, Sue De Lapa.

Barney was the dashing News-Press reporter; Sue the paper’s trusted archivist and librarian with the sweet smile. “It was Fiesta, and hearts were as warm as the afternoon,” said Brantingham.“Sue looked so delightful in her gorgeous dress that

I couldn’t resist inviting her for an afterwork drink. We settled down at an openair café just off De la Guerra Plaza. Just as we began chatting, I spilled a beer all over her brand-new Fiesta dress. Sue just laughed.‘It’ll dry.’”

De Lapa now recalls,“I was having such a lovely time I didn’t mind.”

Barney said his date’s lighthearted nature in that stunning dress made him realize what a gem he had uncovered.

“Today, years later, we’re still together, and I’m more careful with my beer,” he said. n

My Life My Great-Grandmother

Josefa Erro’s Fiesta Legacy

Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch

Lifelong Santa Barbara resident Erika Ronchietto (pictured above right with longtime Reina del Mar Parlor member and 1965 Saint Barbara Mary Louise Days) has been involved in Fiesta activities since childhood and this year has the honor of portraying the city’s patron saint. Each year, Saint Barbara is chosen by the Reina del Mar Parlor, which has been sponsoring the corresponding float since 1926. Ronchietto is a mother, owner of an area preschool, and very active in community events and organizations. You can see the newest Saint Barbara in traditional garb carrying a palm frond and golden chalice in this year’s Historical Parade (El Desfile Histórico) on one of the few horse-drawn floats.

Memories

Fun at

Fiesta Pequeña place in my family’s heart, as he did for so many in Santa Barbara, and Fiesta always ushers in fond memories of his calming presence presiding over the evening’s festivities.

But the memories I treasure most are of watching the joy on the faces of my children and grandchildren throughout the evening as we watched and cheered on the dancers, ate the wonderful food, and cracked colorful cascarones over each other’s heads.

Fiesta is truly a cultural treasure of Santa Barbara. It reminds us of our community’s heritage while bringing generations and neighbors closer together to celebrate.

T

hinking about O l d Sp a n i s h Days Fiesta, I am always brought back to memories of the evening festivities outside of the Mission for Fiesta Pequeña. When my children were growing up, Walter and I would round up the family and walk from our house up past Roosevelt Elementary School to the Mission steps to join hundreds of our friends and neighbors gathering outside in celebration.

As night would fall, I’ll always remember Father Virgil welcoming the crowds with his gentle voice. His Fiesta Pequeña 2014 presence provided a collective sense of belonging, not just in the celebration of Fiesta, but in the overall spirit of Santa Barbara. Father Virgil held a special

I

never met my only Spanish-speaking great-grandmother, Josefa Erro, because she died in 1925, six months after the first Fiesta. But as a kid in the 1960s, I watched carefully for her in the parade every year.

My grandmother ensured we arrived early to find a place in the shade. She created a contest— contest who would first spot the Blacksmith Shop float coming down the street? A real blacksmith working his real forge with a real fire, pulled by mules — right there on State Street!

She’d exchange waves with Jim Smith, the iconic Goleta blacksmith.

She knew him because he’d crafted bean cutters, branding irons, and other farming tools for her coastal ranch at Refugio, where for decades her husband relied on horse-drawn implements and summer’s fog drip for his dry-farmed lima beans and tomatoes.

We, too, stood up to wave and to see where Jim Smith had branded the hind end of his wooden float with our family’s cattle brand, the conjoined initials “JE” — for our greatgrandmother, Josefa Erro. That burnt JE brand was the parade’s highlight for us.

Ninety years after she died, Josefa’s traditions continue in our lives.

I live in a simple board-and-batten ranch house she and her Basque husband, Miguel, built over 100 years ago on the leeward side of Refugio Pass. Their portraits watch down on the front porch. The old JE branding iron Jim Smith made hangs under Josefa’s portrait — agrarian idolatry? We’ve always had Josefa’s egg enchiladas at cattle roundups, made the old Californio way, with flour tortillas and sliced hard-boiled eggs. My mother still sings the same Spanish folk songs that Josefa sang in the same ranch kitchen in which we make her enchiladas for family fiestas.

My mother taught us to be proud of our mixed ethnicity and to always — always— check the “Hispanic” box on census-like forms so we’d remember Josefa’s heritage, a legacy emulating the Santa Barbara story which Fiesta celebrates.

Josefa’s life telescopes Santa Barbara history. She was born here in 1859; her maternal grandparents, Josefa Guevara y Cota and Leandro Gonzales, were born here in 1805 and 1792. Their parents were born in the mid-1700s in the then-Spanish provinces of Sinaloa, Sonora, Querétaro, and Baja California— California in fact, most of the original colonists came to California in the 18th century from Sonora and Sinaloa, in today’s northwest Mexico. One of Josefa’s own great-grandmothers left Álamos, Sonora, in February 1781 to walk to Santa Barbara with the Rivera expedition.

While mission church records refer to Josefa’s forbears as mulata, negro, mestizo, india,, and español, modern DNA research suggests that most of her maternal makeup was from indigenous people, much of it likely from the Cáhita, who live on the Sonoran and Sinaloan coastal plains.

I don’t know how Josefa would identify her ethnicity today nor how our racially politicized society would construct her multiple “races.”

Our family has white skin now, and we no longer speak a Cáhitan language or even Spanish. But we still live in Josefa’s house, hear her songs, eat her enchiladas, and pay our JE brand registration fees to the Bureau of Livestock Identification. Our multiple and dynamic ethnicities illustrate Santa Barbara’s diverse heritage — and we are proud to check “Hispanic” on census forms.

Chewing the Cud with Goats at Homesteading Class

B

leating, butting, and kidding around are all part of a great day at the Poco Farm in Ojai, where Grace Bueti Malloy hosts a class on tending goats for the Ojai Valley Grange’s summer homesteading series.

“We are trying to give people access to traditional skills that might have gotten lost in the generation above us,” says Malloy, whose goat course is part of an all-ages summer homesteading series that includes training on such skills as bow making, hide tanning, cheese making, and wild pickling. Malloy personally aims to produce most of her own food and was already growing fruits, grains, and vegetables on her Ojai plot before she decided to add goats for meat and cheese to the table.

“Goats are a lot more appropriate for this climate than cows,” said Malloy, explaining that the browsing ruminants can eat dry leaves, shrubs, and cactus and are often used to clear brush in fire-sensitive areas that would otherwise require extensive human labor and machinery. And adult male goats are gaining popularity as pack animals for their ready attitude and ability to haul as much as 50 pounds over treacherous mountain terrain.

In the class, Malloy offers an extensive reading list to beginners and suggests they first learn the proper methods from a seasoned tender, which includes an emphasis on starting a herd with good genetics from a high-quality breeder and acquiring a decent understanding of goat-specific veterinary medicine. She believes that if neighborhood relations are good, then goats are a plausible livestock choice even in urban areas because they are not overly smelly or noisy.“If you make really good cheese and ice cream,” she advised, “you’ll find that people are really excited about your goats.”

But before deciding to go the whole hog, Malloy suggests to first chew the cud about the daily requirements of dairy goats. “It is a big time investment,” she said.

“This is on the scale of a decades-long commitment for your family.”

She also feels our culture tends to lead people to do things for the way it will look on Instagram and Facebook and warns that productive livestock is not about having cute pet goats. “The reality of this whole homesteading and farming lifestyle is a lot of manure, long hours, and frustration,” she said. “That’s what produces the reward of the satisfaction of growing your own food.”

Malloy hopes more families will take advantage of all the Ojai Valley Grange has to offer because learning where food comes from is one of the most valuable things both kids and grownups can learn.

See ojaivalleygrange.com for a schedule of upcoming classes, including pickle fermenting on August 8 and cheese making on August 15.

The Lost Key

oday I spent an hour standing in a Buellton parking

lot with my hand on a supermarket cart whose grocery contents included melting ice cream. It was my shopping cart, a home base in a world of shifting sands, but I hoped this wasn’t a foreshadowing of my future.

Somehow in the brief distance and time between exiting my car and shopping for groceries, I had lost my car key. I had lost it so entirely that retracing my steps through every aisle of the store, poring through the produce, peering into my car windows, and even poking around beneath the car all yielded not a trace. I asked store managers, checkout people, random employees, and customers.

Absolutely no one had seen my key. I searched until I could no longer reimagine myself tucking it into my purse or even recall what it felt like in my hands. I would have doubted its very existence if not for its essential role in my automobile’s undisputed presence in the lot.

I know. These things happen. But lately they have been happening to me too often. Objects vanish into thin air.

Attention and intentions meander. Commitments slip between cracks. Things go bump in broad daylight. Words and facts elude me. There’s so much losing, so much loss.

It fills my heart with new compassion for how my mother used to be. I would wonder, how in God’s name does she lose her teeth? Or how can she not remember that she ate lunch just an hour ago? Or … seriously? Her hearing aid is missing again? I’m afraid my general posture was often one of exasperation. But how disoriented and vulnerable she must

living cont’d

have felt, and how brave she was, the way she always tried to smile it away, the way she kept on moving through the fog.

Now I am the one veering off course, forgetting, losing, getting in the way of folks who know what they’re doing.

Whether this is a temporary condition or the beginning of a steeper decline, I hope it will render me more patient and forgiving forevermore.

Living is hard, even for the privileged.

There’s so much to understand, so little time to do so.

And I’ve been holding tight to a block of sadness since my mother’s death, all the while losing keys and actual moments, the very present in which the universe exists. Maybe it’s time to ponder what Thích Nhat Hanh advises: Let go of the stream of distress and embrace life fully in your arms.

Let’s face it: Things disappear. People leave.

The step is lower than we thought, the wall much nearer to the nose, the rise in the pavement stumblingly abrupt. Certainties we counted on turn out to be sketchy.

I resolve to slow down and pay attention, as my husband advised when he rescued me with a spare key.

Afterward I had a wedge of coconut cake, and I stopped by to say happy birthday to a gentleman who just turned 95, and I heard the canyon wren, my favorite song. Life is very lovely sometimes when we’re not rushing through it, especially if we recognize our own ridiculousness and remember to be kind.

Handwritten Histories

A

t one of their first meetings, they paid someone $7 to place irons on Guadalupe Sanchez, a man who had been on the lam. The next few meetings were sporadic and somewhat less spicy, with three judges deliberating over ways to bring in tax revenue. The three judges were the Board of Supervisors of their day: It was the early 1850s, and Santa Barbara County — and the State of California — had just been formed.

From November 18, 1850 — the first day of the county’s recorded history— history to August 5, 1907, clerks of the board handwrote history in 16 hardbound ledgers. From September 3, 1907-April 4, 1977, the minutes were documented with a typewriter, spanning 199 similar hardbound books.

(After 1977, the Board of Supervisors’ minute books took the microfilm route, before going online in 2000.) Across those 215 books and 90,000 pages, the early days of Santa Barbara County played out.

In the early days, most meetings dealt with disbursement of money for orphans, “half-orphans,” people with disabilities, “needy aged persons,” and, after the Depression, people seeking unemployment benefits. During those times, illnesses like leprosy and tuberculosis were all too real, and Solvang was simply referred to as the “Danish-American colony.”

Yet as much as things have changed since, they have stayed the same. There are passages that touch on controversy over oil drilling, bids to widen roadways, and scuffles between the supervisors and the sheriff. Then there are the passages that note the purchase of the first county building, to rebuild the

courthouse after the 1925 earthquake, and to buy the County Bowl.

Now, in 2015, the county’s current clerk of the Board, Mike Allen, is working to ensure that history stays in shape for decades to come. Along with 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr, the UCSB Library, and the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission, Allen is digitizing the information and restoring damaged books. There’s also now an exhibition of the project in the Channing Peake Gallery on the first floor of the County Administration Building (105 E. Anapamu St.) that will hang until September 28.

“I’m excited about making this record available online, and I’m hopeful that others will find the passages as interesting as I have,” said Allen. “I believe it’s important to take the time to look back at how we started in order to understand who we are today.”

Rowing Miss Doris

D

courtesy photos

Britain’s Coxless Crew Berth in Santa Barbara

by John Zant

oris was hard to miss if you walked around

Santa Barbara Harbor during the second week of May. She looked like a small submarine that had been converted into a rowboat.

She was pink in color. Speaking for her were four women with British accents.

“Taking her out to sea?” you ask.

“Yes, to the islands.”

“Across the channel to Santa Cruz?”

“No, across the ocean to Hawai‘i.”

“Really?”

“Well, really, we intend to row all the way to Australia.”

Kenny Kieding, owner of The Chandlery yacht brokerage, also had his doubts when he first saw Doris upon her unexpected arrival at the harbor.“Such a little boat,” he said.

Then he met the plucky foursome who call themselves the Coxless Crew. “They’re great girls,” he said. “I wanted them to make it.”

They had rowed Doris from San Francisco to Santa Barbara, no small feat, but that was not what they had planned.

They were supposed to make a straight line to Hawai‘i, but a few days out to sea, the solar power connection to the boat’s batteries went blotto. Rather than proceed in the hopes the batteries would be able to power their electronic devices (desalinator, navigation and communication systems) most of the way — handheld backups were in reserve — they turned around and headed for the nearest California port, arriving here on May 8.

“It was frustrating and disappointing,” said Natalia Cohen.“At the end of the day, we were lucky. Our safety was paramount.” Cohen, 40, is the senior member of the crew, a self-described nomad who has walked across Spain, trekked in the Andes, and sailed across the Pacific, but in anticipation of six months of rowing, rowing, and more rowing, she said,“I’m not sure that anything can really prepare you for a challenge of this enormity.”

They undertook the challenge to muster support for two U.K. charities, Breast Cancer Care and Walking with the Wounded (injured servicewomen). They also aim to be the first female crew and first four-person boat to row across the Pacific.

Doris (named after a sea nymph in Greek mythology) was built for maximum seaworthiness. She is 29 feet in length, with two rowing seats flanked by watertight cabins fore and aft, and is designed to pull herself upright if she were to be swamped.

John Zant’s

While Doris was berthed in the harbor, Kieding helped her onshore support crew find a marine electrician to fix the battery-charging problem. Everything was shipshape when Cohen and her fellow oarswomen — Laura Penhaul, 32, a physiotherapist; Emma Mitchell, 30, an expedition manager; and Isabel Burnham, 30, a solicitor — headed back out to sea on May 14. Until reaching Hawai‘i, they would row without stopping, two at a time, in two-hour shifts.

“We began anew as experienced ocean rowers [because of the detour from San Francisco],” Cohen said.“It was a silver lining to our journey. Everybody in Santa Barbara was so supportive and helpful.”

Kieding was glad to see that they were initially sticking to the coastline. “It was smart they went up to Point Conception,” he said. If they had turned toward Hawai‘i farther south, he said, the boat might have been overtaken by unfriendly winds.

On the evening of Monday, July 20, Doris glided to the docks at the Honolulu Yacht Club. The women had rowed 2,158 nautical miles — actually more, accounting for deviations from the course — during 68 days at sea.

“It was quite difficult walking and keeping our balance,” Cohen said by telephone the next day. Her first priority, she said, was a warm shower. Then she reflected on the first leg of their journey.

GAME of the WEEk

8/8-8/11: Pro Football: Dallas Cowboys Training Camp: The defending NFC East champions opened their 2015 camp last week in mild Oxnard weather. This weekend, the Cowboys have scheduled three public practice sessions and a scrimmage in preparation for their first preseason game on August 13 at San Diego. While their top quarterback-receiver combination (Tony Romo and Dez Bryant) is set, there is a competition to replace running back DeMarco Murray, who signed with Philadelphia. The training camp will continue until August 27. Sat.: 3:45pm practice; Sun.: 2:30pm scrimmage; Mon.: 3:45pm practice; Tue: 10:30am practice. River Ridge Playing Fields, 2101 West Vineyard Ave., Oxnard. Free. Parking: $10.

DETOUR: On their way to Hawai‘i from San Francisco, the Coxless Crew — (above, from left) Natalia Cohen, Laura Penhaul, Emma Mitchell, and Isabel Burnham — rowed into S.B. Harbor to fix the battery on their rowboat, Doris (pictured left). They undertook the voyage to support two U.K. charities and to be the first female crew and fourperson boat to row across the Pacific.

“It seems like a dream, surreal, what we accomplished,” she said. “It’s so overwhelming; you have to stay in the present moment and get through what you have to get through.

We believe in each other and have complete faith in Doris.

We had to deal with monotony. It was continuously cold and wet. [As Mitchell wrote in their blog; ‘A dry bum is a happy bum.’] We were moving slowly, fighting to keep the boat on track. It helped to crack jokes and make each other laugh. There’s nothing between the West Coast and Hawai‘i — nothing — but this never-ending, giant infinity pool.”

They did see some “amazing wildlife,” like a pod of whales a few feet away. And there were flying fish that became pests.

“Every night, flying fish would hit you,” Cohen said. “There were stinking dead fish all over the boat.”

Doris was clean and fresh last Wednesday, July 29, as Penhaul and Mitchell took the first shift at the oars, and the crew began Leg Two of their journey, heading south for Apia, Western Samoa. It’s expected to take another two months, and then after a brief respite, the women will set off for their final destination at Cairns, Australia. Their progress can be followed at coxlesscrew.com.

ON THE ROAD: Moninda Marube, two-time winner

of the Santa Barbara Marathon (2010 and 2011), has set off on another epic undertaking, running more than 3,000 miles from Auburn, Maine, to Santa Barbara. His mission is to draw attention to human trafficking. The native of Kenya said he was victimized by an agent who confiscated his earnings as a professional runner. He started on July 1 with a minimal support crew and a vehicle that tended to break down. He was ready to abandon his quest three weeks later when a sponsor came through with a cargo van. On Monday, July 27, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine met with Marube at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. He was heading for Richmond, Virginia, his last stop on the East Coast before turning west. He will have to average almost 30 miles a day to reach Santa Barbara on November 7, when he plans to finish his journey by running the Veterans Day Marathon. The website for his run is monindamovement .com. n

Fun with

Cabernet Franc

I

f you have yet to reach for cabernet franc, now’s the time to try the lighter, crisper, and more aromatic cousin to cabernet sauvignon.

Santa Barbara County’s producers are making some wonderful examples, ranging from the lighter, high-acid, and low-alcohol style of France’s Loire region, which are among California’s best, to Bordeaux’s bigger, more opulent approach, again with a number of top-quality wines also being made. No matter what, cab franc should never be too heavy, and it’s quite nice to drink the lighter ones a little on the cool side.

Here are a few worth your attention:

Halcyon Rosé Templeton Gap 2014: Okay, a bit

north of the county line, but this pinkie is bright, fruity, and crisp with fresh wild strawberry on the nose. A dry rosé with a perfect light pink shade, this makes a great brunch wine and would match sublimely with eggs benedict and smoked salmon. Halcyon is a new Paso Robles cab franc project from S.B. native Tyler Elwell. $25.

Enchanted Chef

navigates new diets

H

aving a doctor hand down a set of new dietary restrictions is hard enough, but figuring out how to recalibrate your cooking and shopping regimen can be even more challenging.

That’s where The Enchanted Chef comes in. As a personal chef, Ronald Lee Relyea comes to the aid of those who are recovering from illnesses and health struggles that demand dietary restrictions with which they don’t necessarily have experience.

From cancer to diabetes to obesity, from vegan to gluten-free to macrobiotic diets, Relyea offers a variety of services to clients depending on their needs. Once a week or so, he’ll visit clients at their homes and assist them with the myriad considerations that play into adjusting to a new diet, including meal preparation, menu planning, and grocery shopping. Much of Relyea’s work is educational and instructional, and he sees himself as facilitating an often-difficult transition period in his customers’ lives. “It’s all inclusive with shopping and education for them,” he said of his work, “and basically taking the burden off of trying to eat correctly while they’re trying to recover from either illness, or becoming well.”

Here are a few of Chef Relyea’s universal tips.

Avoid sugar: As pervasive as it is, it exacerbates a wide

variety of ailments.“If you’re not well,” said Relyea,“whether

/sbindyfood

@sbindyfood

it’s overweight, whether it’s cancer, whether it’s just unwell in general without a diagnosis — sugar feeds on that. And sugar is very addicting. If you’re in a chronic state of illness, stay away from sugar.”

Water is imperative: Not

drinking enough of it hurts our bodies’ internal functions.

According to Relyea, this can be especially harmful to children, who can develop allergies and other health issues without enough water. “We are chronically dehydrated,” he said.

Be mindful of where you shop: “Farmers Market

first,” he said. “Shake the hand of the farmer.” These and food cooperatives have fresh, organic produce and are your best choices. Traditional, large supermarkets come at the end of the list but are often fine for the “clean 15”— 15” produce with skin thick enough to prevent pesticides from seeping in (as opposed to the “dirty dozen,” whose skins are thin enough to necessitate them being exclusively organic).

Be balanced: From what we eat to where we shop, balance in all aspects of consumption is key.

Roark Wine Company Santa Ynez Valley 2013: From Texan Ryan Roark, who spent some time living in the Loire, this intense wine is more on the savory autumn side with red-berryand pencil-shaving flavors, but there’s a forestfloor quality, as well. Quite intellectual, this wine will have you daydreaming. Have it with andouille or wild boar sausage — it’ll handle game. $28.

Lieu Dit Santa Ynez Valley 2013: Bright raspberry

and autumn leaf, deliciously crisp, direct and to the point, Lieu Dit is the Loire-style project of winemaker Justin Willett and sommelier Eric Railsback. The crispy acidity and lingering berry flavor would match well with Peking duck, but go light on the hoisin. $30.

Lo-Fi Coquelicot Vineyard 2014: It starts off like a bursting lightbulb of red currant, olive stone, tobacco, and herbs, then fades to woodchips and flint. This wine has seen no added sulfur and is made by S.B.’s most dedicated natural winemaker, Mike Roth. Perfect with a baguette, butter, and charcuterie. $28.

Foxen 7200 Tinaquaic Vineyard Dry-Farmed Santa Maria Valley 2012: An herbally fragrant wine

with lavender, pine, raspberry, and smoky redwood. Very stylish. A perfect pairing with pork chops, apple sauce, and sage-and-onion stuffing. $48.

Carr Vintners Camp Four Vineyard 2012: With cherry pit and vanilla pod, this is an extremely smooth wine, soft, and velvety, reminiscent of merlot. Have it with thincrust, Italian-style pizza — buffalo mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and prosciutto — which you can take along to Carr’s tasting room. $30.

Buttonwood Estate Santa Ynez Valley 2011: A

slow burner: gamey, savory yet elegant, with mulberry, plum, thyme, and rosemary. Will improve with every sip. A Sunday wine, to accompany lamb and roasted potatoes. Buttonwood is one of the region’s earliest cab franc producers. $26.

Happy Canyon Vineyards Piocho 2010: Tart berry

jam with a toasty finish. There’s no holding back with this full-on wine. Big, yet balanced, this is a Bordeaux blend with about 18 percent of cab franc. It’s a steak wine, through and — Louis Villard through. $32.

Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé

If you like your champagne celebratory, it’s hard to beat this bottle. Gorgeous packaging? Check: An elegant box reveals the unique, rounded bottle. Lovely looking wine? Indeed, from its salmon color to its very persistent bubbles (at first pour they tornado in the flute spectacularly). Fine tasting? But of course, made from 100 percent pinot noir grapes, mostly grand crus. Think bright berry/cherry fruit that dances on the tongue and a silky finish.

Think of it this way — it’s so good, Laurent-Perrier is willing to make it non-vintage and charge $99 a bottle for it. On their website, they suggest serving it with foie gras or pata negra ham, but just humble Humboldt Fog on the best bread you can afford is an elegant match.

1114 State Street #24, 805-884-1938 For Stephen Lewis, landscape photography has always been his preferred mode of artistic expression because it offers the opportunity to share travel, nature, and the world around him in a creative and visual way. A Santa Barbara resident since he was 3, Stephen first made photographs in elementary school with a waterproof 35mm point-and-shoot film camera. As digital overtook analog, he became fascinated with the intersection of photography, post-processing, and digital effects which he puts to use in his “painterly” landscape style.

4•1•1

A lot of people are talking about your upcoming performance at the Bowl. It’s your first time performing there, right?

Yeah, it’s my first time performing there. I’m very excited about this whole tour, to go to different places, to give the best for the audience. So yeah, I’m very happy.

How did you link up with Ximena Sariñana for your tour? I met Ximena in Mexico years ago. I just fell in love with her music. I think she is a really cool artist, a really cool star. She is very fresh, her style, the music she is making. She is a real refresher for Latin music. I respect her a lot, and she is very talented. We

Can you talk about your songwriting process? Yeah, well normally, I always travel

with my guitar. I always travel with my computer. So if I have an idea, I try to record it.

After I record it, I start to persist, like in my mind. Most of the time I improvise, like a chord progression kind of thing. And then over that I start to sing melodies, and then the last thing I do is I put words to those melodies.

Or sometimes I just have an idea or a concept, something I want to talk about. Then I write a couple of lines, and then later on I try to build the song from that with melody,

alpine Yuck There must be something in the water surrounding Australia, besides, of course, infamously venomous and horrific creatures. The Aussies’ electronic pop always seems so bright and polished, so eternally summery (see Cut Copy, Anna Lunoe). Alpine’s sophomore album, Yuck, Yuck continues this trend with shimmery explorations dancing on the outer edges of pop composition. Ear candies like “Foolish” and “Jellyfish” are especially sweet and sumptuous, with enough slight sonic twists to keep things interesting. Some songs have a broken-record quality — “Damn Baby” feels too long — but overall it’s a great electro-pop album for the season.

Hear before summer expires.

— Richie DeMaria

chords, and stuff like that. But most of the time, it’s just improvised. It’s crazy—sometimes I think to myself, “Wow, I don’t even know how I do this, but the way it comes, it’s just like magic, man.”

How long does it take for a song to go from improvisation to more or less finished?

There are songs that I wrote in 20 minutes or half an hour. There are songs that took me like three months, four months, even a year.

It’s kind of different all the time. Sometimes the idea is so clear, it’s so fast. Sometimes you want to make it happen so natural, no pressure, organically. Depending on the song of the moment, of the vibe you have or whatever.

What was it like writing your autobiography Chasing the Sun? Well, it’s not like a biogra-

phy; it’s more like a photo album. We wanted to have a photo album. I have pictures from when I was a kid to these days. I wanted to have some stories to tell to the fans. I wrote about different moments of my life that really touched me at some point. So that’s what I did, and I really like this book. I did it with a lot of heart, obviously, and as a way to give back to the fans — for them to see what it’s like and to know more who is behind the —Gustavo Uribe songs, ya know?

Janet Jackson “No Sleeep” SiNgle

Since her not-so-successful 2008 album Discipline, Janet Jackson had yet to release new music … until this past June, when she shared her new single, “No Sleeep,” featuring rapper J. Cole, and announced her 2015 Unbreakable Tour. Starting with the sounds of falling rain and thunder, and with a chorus full of seductive lyrics, this song is a strong and sultry return for Jackson. She’s made a turn from the pop, disco, and R&B in best-selling album All for You to smooth R&B. Turns out she can still do it all, and based on her music video for this track, it’s safe to assume the fierce, sensual Janet is back.

Ballet Folklórico de Los Ángeles For one day each August, the bright strains of horns, harp, and guitars waft from the open-air stage of the Santa Barbara Bowl when top-notch mariachi groups come to town to perform at the Mariachi Festival as part of Old Spanish Days. The 20-year-old tradition continues on Saturday, August 8, with a stellar lineup not to be missed that includes singer/actor Pablo Montero and the following acts:

Ballet Folklórico de Los Ángeles: Founded by Kareli Montoya in 2011, Ballet Folklórico de Los Ángeles combines Mexican and American folk dancing choreography in their shows. The troupe has made a name for itself in a relatively short time, already having performed with such venerable musicians as Grammy Award–winning Mariachi Los Camperos and world-famous Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán.

Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar: In 1994,

Jaime Cuéllar founded Mariachi Garibaldi as a privately run community youth group, which quickly became popular in its hometown of Bakersfield. Since then, Mariachi Garibaldi has evolved into an ensemble led by Cuéllar’s son Jimmy “El Pollo” Cuéllar, performing with such luminaries as Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán and Mariachi Imperial de México.

Mariachi Divas de Cindy Shea: Trumpeter Cindy

Shea spent years playing myriad musical genres before falling for mariachi in the 1990s. Sixteen years ago, she established Mariachi Divas, an all-female group that has won multiple Grammy Awards and released numerous CDs. Since 2003 they have been the official mariachi band of the Disneyland Resort.

Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, with special guests Alicia Villarreal and Ana Barbara:

Originally assembled in 1897, the group is now in its fifth generation of musicians. Bridging past and contemporary styles, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán gives a nod to its roots by playing traditional Mexican songs, but the group — which comprises two harps, one vihuela, one guitar, one guitarrón, three trumpets, and six violins — also includes classical works in its repertoire.

THE COX BUNDLE

SILO RISING: above: Michael Armour (left) and Chantal Wunderlich have opened the doors to their grain silo on Mason Street, which serves as an art studio for the pair. After a decade of working in the big room, the space is now part of the Funk Zone’s free-flowing open scene. below: Armour’s painting “China Moon” is just one of his works currently on display at the silo.

GALLERIES IN FUNK ZONE MULTIPLY: Friday

night’s Funk Zone Art Walk on July 24 saw the opening of two new galleries and a marked overall increase in attendance. Whether the heavy foot traffic was a simple function of the warm summer evening or a consequence of the concerted effort of the neighborhood’s arts community, the result was the same —packed openings up and down the block, especially on Gray Avenue, which is fast becoming the epicenter of a Santa Barbara painting boom. While it’s too soon to tell what kind of impact these new spaces will have on the scene, one thing is certain: The Funk Zone continues to grow as an arts district.

Before we get to the new galleries, it’s good to remember that new things are always happening in the area’s older locations. The Arts Fund, for example, has a delightfully enigmatic exhibit that opened on July 24. Curated by John Aaron, it’s called How I See It and paradoxically focuses on work that’s designed to be touched. Eleven area artists have contributed tactile works that they are comfortable allowing visitors in the gallery to handle. From the smooth dolphin sculptures of Bud Bottoms to the always-surprising assemblage of Sue Van Horsen, these objects and images represent the seemingly effortless eclecticism and vigor of our community’s artists, especially when called together to make something a little different.

Around the corner and up Gray Avenue, Skye Gwilliam continues to use his GONE Gallery to demonstrate a prolific sensibility that crosses back and forth between fine and street art. His latest show is a dense series of

new paintings that teem with organic shapes and anthropomorphized figures. It’s a style that’s perhaps best understood as “Skye vs.

Skye,” as in one artist’s ongoing battle to reveal the dualistic nature of his own consciousness.

Plus it’s fun.

Next door to GONE, at 219 Gray Avenue, is the new gallery known as GraySpace.

For its inaugural show, the directors have chosen three distinguished artists, two of whom live and work in Ojai. Carolyn Fox is represented by her Roller Paintings, which are just one of the many ways she has found to express her fascination with landscape, tension, color, and balance.

Steven Gilbar’s abstractions are similarly concerned with discovering the joys of mark-making unimpeded by the domination of a bounding line. Charlene Broudy ’s expansive and painterly abstractions in acrylic receive the most real estate, and they will likely resonate with fans of the movement sometimes termed chromaticism.

On the other side of Yanonali at 118 Gray, Michael C. Armour and his partner Chantal Wunderlich have thrown open the doors to what is perhaps the most speculated-about property in the Funk Zone, the grain silo on the corner of Mason Street that was once part of the now-defunct Weber’s Bread Company.

Armour’s top-notch work spans a range of styles from cool realism to bold geometric abstraction. He’s been working in the big room of the silo for a decade now, and, with the help of Wunderlich, he has determined to allow this mystery spot to become part of the Funk Zone’s free-flowing open scene. The pair plans to take things one step at a time, but expect to see other artists showing in the n dramatic space soon.

SpiriTS of FieSTa 2015

hough Old Spanish Days starts this week, it’s already been a long haul for the Spirit and Junior Spirit of Fiesta, the two young dancers who’ve worked much of their lives to reach this pinnacle of performance. Ysabella Yturralde, 10, and Alexandra Freres, 18, went through a rigorous audition process back in April to win these honored titles and have continued to practice the dance routines that they will premiere at Fiesta’s many stages. They’re responsible for embodying the spirit of the annual festivities and providing entertainment through the art of flamenco dancing.

Junior Spirit of Fiesta Name: Ysabella Yturralde Age: 10. She will be in 6th grade this fall.

in Santa Barbara Style: Flamenco. “I just really love the passion of flamenco,” she said.

“I did try ballet when I was like 2½, but flamenco, it had attitude and passion and was just made for me.”

Audition process: “I was really nervous when we were all onstage. They were going to announce the winners, and there were three Isabellas — and I’m an Ysabella! But it was me.”

What she’s excited about: “Definitely

by Caitlin Trude every girl’s dream to dance on the Mission [steps],” she said. “It’s nighttime, and all the lights are shining on you, and it’s a moment I’ll never forget.”

What she’s nervous about: “As the Mission day comes closer and closer, I’ll probably get more nervous.”

How she became a Junior Spirit: “I was with my mom [at the 2014 Fiesta], and I saw one of the junior spirits in her white dress,” she recalled.“I looked up at my mom and said,“I want to do that! I want to be the girl in the white dress!” While taking flamenco lessons, Yturralde was encouraged by her teachers to audition for Junior Spirit.

The most challenging part of her experience: “It’s mostly practicing your dances and getting it down perfectly — that’s the most complicated part,” she said. “Also right after the audition, it was my first interview on TV. I was really nervous … I’d never done anything like that before.”

Role models: Her teacher Linda Vega. “She runs the studio and made my dreams come true, and I want to grow up and

DANCING DREAM: “I just really love the passion of flamenco,” said 10-year-old Junior Spirit Ysabella Yturralde (left) of why she enjoys the dance style. Yturralde, along with the Spirit, 18-year-old Alexandra Freres, will open Old Spanish Days at La Fiesta Pequeña. “I’ve watched many Spirits over the years, and now that I’m the Spirit, it feels like it’s come full circle for me,” said Freres of the honor.

be just like her,” said Yturralde, who also looks up to the 2014 Spirit of Fiesta, Talia Ortega Vestal.

“Someday I want to be the Spirit of Fiesta,” she said, “so I definitely look up to her.”

Spirit of Fiesta Name: Alexandra Freres Age: 18. She will be a freshman at Chapman University as a business administration major.

Years dancing: Since age 3, when she performed in her first Fiesta

Studio: Zermeño Dance Academy Style: Jazz, ballet, hip-hop, tap, and flamenco.“I’ve done hip-

hop and jazz the last four years,” said Freres, who competes nationally as captain of the Varsity Marquettes, a jazz and hip-hop dance team at San Marcos High School.

Audition process: “When I was maybe 9 through 11, I tried out for Junior Spirit,” she explained.“I went through the audition process and won runner-up in my last year … It didn’t really feel real, because I had wanted it for so long … I still don’t feel like I’m totally the Spirit, because it’s been such a dream of

mine. When I found out, I was shocked. Right before I went on [to audition], I was so nervous I thought I was going to throw up backstage. It’s been very surreal for me.”

What she’s excited about: “I’ve just been a part of it for so long that I’m so honored that I can represent the city this year,” she said.“I’m really excited for La Pequeña, which is the opening night of Fiesta. … I’ve watched many Spirits over the years, and now that I’m the Spirit, it feels like it’s come full circle for me. I’m just really honored to be in this position.”

What she’s nervous about: “I actually have learned seven dances including my group dances,” she said. “Performing dances that are so new to me … is a little scary. As a soloist, you just kind of go with the flow, and if you mess up, no one really notices because you’re the only one on the stage.”

The most challenging part of her experience: “You tend to forget what you’re doing at times because there’s so much on your mind,” she said.“I’m just trying to take it all in and relish every moment because it will be over before you know it.”

Role model: Dance teacher Daniela Zermeño. “She is a phenomenal dancer,” said Freres. “I’ve really watched her style and kind of became my own dancer by watching her be n herself onstage.”

be downright unavoidable in the coming week, as the open airs of plazas and the conditioned airs of clubs alike will be alive with music of various fiestas, fests, and fêtes. For those who prefer to hustle-bustle indoors, away from the hustle and bustle of outSTICKMAN: In 1969, jazz musician Emmett door stages, a few venues Chapman modified his nine-string guitar are hosting some great acts to create an instrument more suited to his over the Fiesta days.

“Free Hands” tapping method of playing. The As the Old Spanish result was the Chapman Stick, a 10-stringed Days wane into Old Spanguitar that he’s been commanding ever ish Nights, the Santa Barsince. bara Museum of Art will celebrate the in-between with a First Thursday (Aug. 6) appearance by Emmett Chapman, inventor of the Chapman Stick, at 5:30 p.m. For those who haven’t heard of the Chapman Stick before, imagine a 10-stringed guitar neck without a body, one capable of producing surprisingly stirring and complex compositions in the hands of its player. Chapman will join two masterful stickmen, Bob Culbertson and Don Schiff, who together will improvise avant-garde compositions to accompany a video projection of Moholy-Nagy’s kinetic light sculpture “Light Prop for an Electric Stage.”

Later that night, the wily Los Angeles dance duo Coyote Kisses will drop many beats in SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, along with some chopped vocal samples and wubby bass lines. Considering how many confetti eggs are likely to drop upon the floor, as well, the SOhO staff may have quite a cleanup with all the colorful sounds and streamers strewn about. In a week stuffed with lively performances, the naturally neon pair’s smiling, shining dance tracks could make for one of Fiesta’s most festive shows. They will be joined by Choice and remix-makers of the moment Louis the Child, who produce music for the endearing cause of “simply making people happy.”

Johnny Miller and the Bakersfield Boys will have a busy Fiesta week ahead of them, as they bake up some Johnny Cash–inspired tunes and covers at Benchmark Eatery on Thursday, August 6, at 8 p.m., and then the following night at Seven Bar & Kitchen (Fri., Aug. 7, 9:30pm). The dapper Miller and his well-dressed Boys have been seen round these parts before at Hoffmann Brat Haus and Pure Order Brewing Company, so they are clearly in demand for their ability to pair their tunes with brews. Must be a good sign. The same can be said for Jason Campbell and band, playing on Friday, August 7, 6 p.m., at Carr Winery. Being only a few blocks from Milpas, Campbell’s country-rock set shall be a nice, oaky palate cleanser before it’s time to enjoy some area food specialties.

You’ve heard of Noches de Ronda, but come the weekend, SOhO will welcome a pair of rootsy acts in what I deem Fiesta’s unofficial Noches de Rasta. On Friday, August 7, Los Angeles’ Arise Roots will lift alreadyheightened spirits with their classically inspired reggae. Arise have shared the stage with greats like Don Carlos, The Wailers, and Public Enemy, and draw much inspiration from the golden days of ’70s reggae. Aiding Arise in the pressure drop will be Aloha Radio. On Saturday, August 8, Cornerstone will radiate some musical sun upon SOhO’s tastefully dark brick interior.

Cornerstone has become one of the, well, cornerstones of the present-day reggae scene in town, having laid its up-tempo roots down in town since forming a decade ago.

And should you find yourself out and about on State Street on Saturday, August 8, at 10 p.m., Dargan’s Irish Pub & Restaurant will keep the citywide dancing going with funky bunch The New Vibe.

was to hear during Fiesta. Nothing like a little hair of the dog to spruce them back up. Chicago’s Lil Durk visits Velvet Jones on Monday, August 10, having just recently released his single “Lord Don’t Make Me Do It.” Last but not least, SOhO gives tribute to rhymin’ Paul Simon on Tuesday, August 11, with performances from CV Wells, Thomas Gardner Jr., Jim Conroy, Michael-Ann, Jody Mulgrew, Shane Alexander, Karen Tyler, Gary Foshee, Sonny Mone, Pi Jacobs, and Bear Market Riot.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of august 5 ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): Charles de Lint is a novelist whose stories are influenced by folklore, myths, and science fiction. In his book Yarrow, a wizardly character named Toby is skilled at conjuring. He can make small objects appear and disappear, for example. But Toby yearns for more. “I want to be magic,” he says. “I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.” If you have ever wished for a comparable upgrade, Aries, now is an unusually favorable time to work on it.

(June 21 - July 22): Here are some tips on being the best Cancerian you can be: (1) Cultivate your sensitivity as a strength. Regard your emotional vulnerability as a superpower. (2) Nurture yourself at least as much as you nurture others. (3) Learn to know the difference between your golden hunches and the glimmering delusions that your demons stir up. (4) Be kind, but don’t be exorbitantly nice. (5) Remember that others’ unhappiness is rarely your fault or responsibility.

(6) Keep reinventing the way you love yourself.

In practice it means that you and I and our allies get together voluntarily to help each other achieve a shared goal. It may also be an agreement to provide mutual aid: I help you do what you need to have done, and you help me with my task. Gotong-royong also implies that we enjoy working together. The emotional tone that we cultivate is affection and care. By sharing a burden, we lighten the load that each of us has to bear. I bring this to your attention, Libra, because it’s the gotong-royong season for you and yours. Be the ringleader who initiates and sustains it.

TAURUS

LEO

SCORPIO

(Apr. 20 - May 20): An imaginative Welsh man named Liam Bennett has developed a “dausage,” which is a blend of a doughnut and sausage. One of his most requested treats is pork meat stuffed with strawberry jelly. Even if this novel blend doesn’t appeal to your taste buds, it serves as a good prompt for my advice: The coming weeks will be a favorable time to expand your notion of what types of nourishment are fun and healthy for you. I mean that in the metaphorical as well as the literal sense. Experiment with new recipes, both with the food you provide your body and the sustenance you feed your soul.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): “What are the best things and the worst things in your life, and when are you going to get around to whispering or shouting them?” This question was posed by Leo author Ray Bradbury in his book Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity.

Even if you’re not a writer yourself, you will benefit from responding to his exhortation. It’s one of the best things you could possibly do to activate your dormant creativity and intensify your lust for life. This is one of those times when working with your extremes is not only safe and healthy but also fun and inspirational.

So do it, Leo! Get excited and expressive about the best and worst things in your life.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): In one of his poems, Jack Gilbert mentions “the incurably sane,” who are “uncrippled by beauty” and “unbutchered by love.” When I read those lines, I felt a surge of protest. Is there a single person on the Earth who fits that description? No! I was miffed by such starry-eyed idealism. Later, though, as I studied the astrological omens for you Scorpios, my attitude softened. I realized that the coming weeks may be a time when many of you will at least temporarily be incurably sane, uncrippled by beauty, and unbutchered by love. If you’re one of these lucky ones, please use your blessed grace to spread an abundance of blessed grace everywhere you go.

GEMINI

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(May 21 - June 20): In the woods, living matter isn’t segregated from the decaying stuff. Rotting tree trunks are host to teeming colonies of moss. Withered stems of ferns mingle with cheerful saplings. Audacious mushrooms sprout up among scraps of fallen leaves.

The birds and beetles and lizards and butterflies don’t act as if this mix is weird. They seem to be at peace with it. I suspect they thrive on it, even exult in it.

That’s the spirit I suggest you adopt as you enjoy the paradoxical mélange of your life in the coming weeks, Gemini. Celebrate the mysterious magic that emerges as you simultaneously fade and flourish, decline and increase, wind down and rise up.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): It’s time to leave behind the golden oldies. You’d be wise to tiptoe away from tradition and give the ghosts of the past one last kiss goodbye and wean yourself from nostalgia for the good old days.

Frankly, my dear, you’ve got numerous appointments with the future, and it would be a shame to miss them because you’re mucking around with memories. In the coming weeks — for that matter, in the coming months — you’re most likely to thrive if you become an agent of change. And the most important thing to change is your relationship to the person you used to be.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): If you’re not skirting the edges of the forbidden zone, you’re playing it too safe. If you’re not serving as a benevolent mischief-maker for someone you care about, you’re shirking your duty. Your allegiance should be with X factors and wild cards.

You will thrive to the degree that you cultivate alliances with mavericks and instigators. Are you shrewd enough to mess with time-tested formulas? Are you restless enough to rebel against habits that stifle your curiosity?

Homework: Would it be possible to turn one of your liabilities into an asset? How? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): In Indonesia, the term gotongroyong is defined as the “joint bearing of burdens.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): How to be a Capricorn, according to my Capricorn reader Sadie Kennedy: When you are younger, take yourself too seriously. Look and act older than you actually are as you serve what’s most

practical. Sacrifice fun and frivolity, working doggedly to achieve the goals you yearn for until you reach some level of accomplishment. Then realize, as if struck by a thunderbolt, that fun and frivolity have practical value.

Begin to age backward like Benjamin Button as you balance work with play and discipline with leisure.

Enjoy the fruits of your intense efforts as everyone tells you how relaxed and supple and resilient you are becoming.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Cracking open the shell of a softboiled egg is a tricky task. You must be firm enough to break the shell but sufficiently gentle to avoid making a mess. If you live in Germany, you have access to a metal instrument that provides just the right measure of soft force. It’s called an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher, translated as “soft-boiled egg shell cracker.” Your assignment in the coming weeks is to cultivate a talent that is metaphorically similar to an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. I believe you will need that blend of sensitivity and power on numerous occasions.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Americans often regard Cuba as impoverished and backward. There is an element of truth in their prejudice, primarily because the U.S. has imposed a stifling embargo on the Caribbean nation for over 50 years. That’s why, for example, many Cubans drive cars that were manufactured in the 1950s. But I wonder how my fellow citizens would respond if they knew that in some ways Cuba’s healthcare system is better than America’s. The World Health Organization recently congratulated Cuba for being the first country on Earth to eradicate the transmission of syphilis and HIV from mothers to babies. Can you identify a metaphorically similar situation in your personal life, Pisces? Are there people you regard as inferior or undeveloped who could teach you an important lesson or motivate you to grow? Now is a perfect time to benefit from their influence.

CROW and KATHLEEN CROW A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: LAUREN MARIE JEWELL in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that (name): LAUREN MARIE JEWELL be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 8/27/2015 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special form is available from the court clerk.

Green your Crib

by Dennis Allen

Color Rendering Index (CRI): Look for a CRI of 90 or higher. While 80 is most commonly available, this rating is linked to uneven quality and harshness of color.

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Most residential customers prefer 2,700K, which most closely emulates incandescent coloring.You may encounter 4,000K and 5,000K LEDs advertised

as “daylight.” This may sound appealing at first glance, but most users find LEDs in this “whiter end” of the color spectrum too stark for residential use.

If the replacement bulb does not have a “Lighting Facts” label, that should be a warning of a product to avoid.

Energy Star, however, is a label that helps with quality.

Most, but not all, LED replacement lamps are dimmable. If dimming is desired, be sure to check for a “dimmable” symbol on the packaging.

One line of LED lamps that has proved to offer both high-quality light

and good long-term durability is the Cree TW Series, but check the CRI rating, because now many are only in the low 80s; 90+ CRI LED lights at EarthLED.com is another excellent source for highquality LEDs. You should buy one LED and try it out for color quality in a place where the light is on four or more hours a day. The payback time will be about six months.

On a final note, be advised that many inexpensive and “off-brand” LED lamps often burn out prematurely and fall short of their advertised life span. The guidelines above should help avoid these pitfalls.

rent in the past but is less so today. Many LEDs can now be purchased for between $10 and $20. The technology continues to improve, the price to decline, but quality is being sacrificed in a price race to the bottom. Many people are purchasing LEDs on price alone but are buying inferior quality.

When selecting an LED replacement lamp, the best advice I can offer the consumer is this: Learn how to read and understand the “Lighting Facts” label. (See the image to the right.) The two most important specifications to review are the following:

here are many suggestions I could make about saving energy, water, and dollars to reduce toxins, waste, and anxiety while improving comfort and well-being in your home. But let’s focus on one important area around which there is much confusion: lighting.

We all know that CFLs (compact fluorescents) save energy but also contain mercury, a not insignificant environmental drawback. How about LEDs (light emitting diodes)? These save even more energy than CFLs and have claims of longevity equal to or greater than CFLs. Change is occurring rapidly in the LED field, some of it good, some not so good. If you tried an LED two or more years ago and were not happy with the results, I suggest you give this technology another go.

Today, most LEDs are made in China, making quality considerations paramount if a bulb is to last for its advertised life expectancy. Price has been a deter-

Make Myself at hoMe

by Sarah Sinclair

we love reading, we don’t all read every book every time, so each monthly meeting is really an excuse to relax, laugh, and share wine, food, and lively conversation with a great group of women. Each month, one of us acts as hostess, opening her home to the group.

As I walked down State Street to Kristy’s house last month, it dawned on me that even though we’ve been friends for years, somehow I’ve never been to her house.

Walking through the gate and into her immaculately restored Craftsman bungalow, I had a hunch that we’d wind up discussing the house as much as books.

Built in 1924, it was the first house on the block where the Flying A Studios were located, at the corner of Mission and State Street. In 1930, a basement bedroom and bathroom were added. Kristy’s GreatAunt Frieda and GreatUncle Gustav bought the home in the early 1940s, and they sent flour and other rations to Kristy’s grandparents in Germany from this address during the war.

Frieda and Gus worked for a wealthy matriarch named Mary Isham, who lived on the corner of Anacapa and Constance. Frieda was the maid and cook, Gus the butler and chauffeur, and they also had a son, Henry, born in 1944. In 1956, Kristy’s mother emigrated from Germany at the age of 24 and moved into the base-

ment bedroom. Kristy has happy memories of visiting her family in the house, explaining,“I always loved the house.”

After Gus and Frieda and then Henry passed away, the house was left to Kristy’s mother. In 2010, when her mother passed away, the house was left to Kristy, who began restoring the vacant home in July 2011 and moved into it in August 2012. The work is a labor of love and still not done.

“Literally no surface was left untouched,” she said with both pride and a hint of exhaustion while walking through the home. “I did a large part of the restoration myself, spending hours here daily for over almost a year.”

When she began, the house was essentially in its original condition, both a blessing and a curse. The hardwood floors had been waxed but never refinished, so the buildup was severe. All of the wooden surfaces had many layers of paint, including latex on top of oil, so the latex was just peeling off like a skin. Windows were painted shut, and window sashes were broken, as were many panes of glass.

Her cousin Mark helped “tremendously,” camping out in the home for nine months as he restored the property.

He restored the redwood siding, replaced ropes in the sash windows, stripped every wooden surface, put drywall in place of old lathe and plaster, and repainted most

Address: 2000 block of State St. Status: Not for sale everything, except for some interior walls where specialized Vasari Venetian plaster was applied. The electrical system was a particular challenge. “There was knob and tube wiring with a Frankenstein-style lever with live wires sticking out of it,” said Kristy.“We can laugh now, but every electrician and contractor who saw it said it was a miracle that it hadn’t caught fire.”

Kristy likes to show off the original built-in trundle bed in the den, backed by a hidden closet with built-in mirrored vanity. Her décor features a mixture of treasures from Mrs. Isham’s travels, family photographs including Frieda, Gustav, and Henry, and her parents’ candelabra chandelier hanging in her bedroom.

Kristy was also fortunate to have a Craftsman-restoration expert as a neighbor. “I would watch for him to get home from work in the evenings and flag him down with a new question just about every day,” laughed Kristy. But she clearly figured a lot of things out on her own.“I soaked every hinge and every piece of hardware in a bakingsoda solution in a Crock-Pot,” she said. “I just googled it, bought a five-dollar Crock-Pot at the thrift store, and experimented.”

The novel we discussed at our book-club meeting at Kristy’s house that night was Beautiful Ruins. I hadn’t finished reading it, but it didn’t really matter. I learned all sorts of great stories that night.

Kristy’s house on State Street near Mission is not for sale and likely won’t be for a very long time.

Barbara, and many established garden plants are simply not acclimated to increased solar radiation in addition to the stress of less moisture. There are some temporary, or even permanent, solutions to give them some relief.

There are some remarkably effective fabrics to help grow healthier, more productive, and better-looking plants. One of the newest on the scene is not really a woven fabric, but rather a thin layer of spun polyester. These floating row covers, as they are called, are also advertised as protection from insect pests. The fabric comes in one or two widths (6 feet is common) and in lengths from 20 feet to 250 feet.

This fabric is easily cut to fit a particular need, whether it is shading one prize rose or a long row of cabbages that need protection from the cabbage moth. They can just be laid gently over the tops of plants or draped over simple frames constructed from PVC pipe or other stakes. To keep out insect pests, be sure to secure the bottom edge with soil staples (U-shaped pieces of steel wire), old timber, or rocks. Sprinklers (and rain, should that arrive) will still filter through to water the garden, as will light and air.

The lightest weight fabric transmits at least 90 percent of the sunlight striking them, providing a 10 percent shade factor. Heavier weight products are also sold, so consult the packaging for information. One potential drawback: Poly row covers will also keep out any insects that might pollinate the flowers and vegetables they cover.

More well-known, probably, is shade cloth. The sole purpose of this fabric is to cut down on the solar radiation reaching the ground. The choices for this particular cloth are pretty wide. They are rated to

provide as little as 15 percent to as much as 80 percent shade. Usually, the fibers of the fabric are black, although green shade cloth is also fairly common. Lay it over a permanent structure, stretch it

Congratulations between posts on the southern side of a vulnerable young plant, or prop it up temporarily over a small patch of newly planted veggies. Even bird netting, with its more open mesh, will provide some shade, especially if it is doubled over.

Somewhat controversial is spraying sensitive plants with an antitranspirant such as the products Cloud Cover or Wilt Pruf. These can help in extreme cases. They don’t actually shade plants, but they form a thin, transparent layer of a polymer that reduces the water lost through transpiration (the process by which leaves release water through their stomata). They should be used carefully, if at all, and only according to directions on the product.

To cool and protect trunks of woody trees (and perhaps large shrubs), paint or spray on a coat of whitewash. There are products specifically formulated for this purpose, but a very dilute solution of white latex paint can do the trick, as well.

Container plants are a little easier to deal with. Simply move them to a shadier, cooler spot. Keeping plants a little cooler will help reduce their water requirements, so give a thought to some extra shade during hot, dry weather.

Tension between Lucy and Annie worsened until Annie delivered an ultimatum: Either Lucy had to go, or she would leave. Caught between two strong-willed women, Hollister hatched an unusual plan. He built a second, larger house for his wife further up the canyon. The “Upper Ranch” became the Hollisters’ social center, while Lucy looked after ranch business at the lower house.

Her husband’s penchant for womanizing was a source of pain and humiliation for Annie.

Tongues wagged about the affairs, and in one case, a question of paternity ended up in court.

len Annie Road is named after the Goleta Valley ranch of William Welles Hollister. Hollister christened the ranch in honor of his wife, Hannah Annie James Hollister. The couple’s union was at times tumultuous, and when Annie left the ranch in 1890, she left behind a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

Annie James was born in San Francisco in 1841. She met Hollister in the early 1860s. Hollister was building his empire that would eventually make him one of the wealthiest ranchers in the state. Hollister often visited San Francisco to conduct business with two of his partners, Albert and Thomas Dibblee.
