“My understanding is the tribe members are now making half a million dollars a year.

I don’t make anywhere near that… and I work a lot harder than they do.”

–Greg Shipper Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors Meeting

Chumash Strength “I’ve worked since I was a teenager. At one time I worked two jobs to support my family.

My story is similar to many tribal members who have worked their entire lives, often taking on multiple jobs at once.

The success of our enterprises is a direct result of this work ethic we’ve developed.

We have always worked hard and will continue to do so.”

–Richard Gomez Tribal Elder Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians

We’re glad Léna Garcia, whose mother found her name on a gravestone in Paris, didn’t shred her passport in the Netherlands this summer because we needed her to come back to run the newsroom, which she did without flinching after only three weeks on the job. Freshly graduated from UCSB with a professional editing minor and literature major, our assistant news editor started writing creative nonfiction crayon memoirs in preschool in her hometown of Santa Cruz. Now, she says, she finally feels like a reporter on House of Cards.

law & disorder Victor Ramirez and Jose Villagomez, the men accused last month of raping, strangling, and beating 64-year-old Marilyn Pharis of Santa Maria, have been charged with first-degree murder and may face the death penalty. Pharis was attacked at home while she was sleeping after working a night shift as a satellite tracker at Vandenberg Air Force Base. She died in the hospital eight days later due to injuries from the attack. The case has gained national attention because Ramirez is an undocumented immigrant with a history of small crimes.

Police say Fiesta celebrations this year seemed to attract a lighter crowd, and fewer citations were issued than last year. From 8/5 to 8/9, 10 felony arrests were made (mostly for warrants or drug possessions), 86 misdemeanor arrests, 12 DUIs, and 224 traffic citations. Also, 26 citations were issued during the cruiser ride on Sunday that had an estimated 500 participants.

Vacation-Rental Crackdown

cou rtesy

City and County Tell Owners to Be Prepared

BED TAX: Fueled with extra funding, Community Development Director George Buell (right) and staff will team up with the City Attorney’s Office to shut the door on illegal short-term rentals.

T

by K e i t h h a m m he takeaway from Tuesday night’s Santa Barbara City Council meeting was clear: Those who operate shortterm vacation rentals in neighborhoods not designated for such business ventures ought to prepare for a beefed-up crackdown by municipal zoning-code enforcers.

Even more clear was why councilmembers voted unanimously to bolster these enforcement efforts with an extra $180,000. It all came down to Santa Barbara as a world-class dart on the vacation map and an even better place to call home.

“Our history of very strict zoning has helped create this very desirable place,” Councilmember Dale Francisco said, as he explained adverse impacts to residential neighborhoods if the city continues allowing homeowners to add their houses to the burgeoning short-term rental market. Councilmember Randy Rowse added that when he bought his Mesa home, he did so with the expectation that the residential neighborhood would never legally tolerate, for example, a moped repair shop in his next-door neighbor’s garage. The city has places for businesses and places for family homes, he said.

The councilmembers’ motion also provided a transition period, until the end of next year, for existing vacation-rental providers who’ve played above the board—securing business licenses and paying transient occupancy taxes —but who, through no fault of their own, can’t legally operate in neighborhoods zoned residential. In fact, the city has issued permission and collected taxes—$1.2 million last fiscal year—at the same time its zoning code prohibited those short-term rentals. “We are not of clean hands,” said Councilmember Gregg Hart.

Zoning-code enforcers have been directed to first lower the boom on the city’s worst 8

offenders—unlicensed tax dodgers—while the City Attorney’s Office has been tasked with subpoenaing dozens of online shortterm rental middlemen — such as Airbnb and VRBO —for location and income data on Santa Barbara–based vacation-rental hosts. “The door is closing on vacation rentals,” Councilmember Frank Hotchkiss said.

Elsewhere along the South Coast, Carpinteria’s council tackled the issue Monday night.

Traditionally, the beach town has prohibited short-term rentals in single-family residential areas but allowed them in multifamily and commercial zones. Currently, Carpinteria licenses 271, most concentrated along the beach and downtown. More than half have on-site management.

To clarify its stance, council directed staff staffers to draft an ordinance that reflects its existing position of allowing short-term rentals in multifamily zones but restricting them to beach and downtown areas. They’re also going to kick around the idea of putting a cap on the total number allowed. Homestay housing—where an on-site homeowner rents out vacation rooms —will not be affected.

Meanwhile, within Goleta city limits, residential short-term rentals are allowed to licensed homeowners who also provide a nuisance plan and a $1,500 surety bond.

The big question remaining is what will happen within unincorporated neighborhoods throughout Santa Barbara County. In Montecito, for example, “This has been an issue for a long time,” said Victoria Greene, executive director of the Montecito Association, adding that the association’s 17-member Board of Directors has differing opinions on the matter.

quil streets drowned by late-night revelry and traffic overflow.

Another vacation-rental hotspot is the Santa Ynez Valley. In particular, Los Olivos has been hit hardest, according to Bob Field, former chair of the valley’s Planning Advisory Committee. “Los Olivos has already lost its downtown to wine tasting,” he said. “Their little Mayberry is gone. And now they’re losing their neighborhoods. We need to stop [shortterm rentals] in residential neighborhoods.”

Field added that, as written, the county’s zoning ordinance is up for interpretation.

On the one hand, it states homes in residential neighborhoods are intended for use by a single family on a non-transient basis. On the other, and more precisely, “short-term rentals are currently not defined in our code,” explained Jessica Metzger, an associate planner with the county. She added that in 2007, the county’s zoning administrator determined that “short-term rentals are allowed in legal dwellings.”

Field hopes the ongoing workshops hosted by the county will eventually produce an ordinance that’s not so ambiguous.

Greene expressed that the county needs to take a hard look at commercial uses of residential homes, but “we haven’t taken a position on what an ordinance should look like.”

It’s too early to tell how comprehensive the ordinance might be, Metzger said. But it’s reasonable to assume that houses that have historically been marketed as vacation rentals —such as those fronting Montecito’s Miramar Beach — won’t be targeted by the new law.

Homestay housing will also be addressed.

A pair of short-term-rental workshops for the new county ordinance are scheduled for August 18 and 20, at the Santa Ynez Valley Marriott and Westmont College, respectively.

Lawmakers Chant ‘No Drill No Spill’

City Hall Floats Drinking-Water Proposal to Public

Santa Barbara politicians in the drawn-out battle over drilling for oil off Vandenberg Air Force Base advocated this week for a state bill to end the possibility once and for all. SB 788 — coauthored by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblymember Das Williams — is functionally identical to a bill Jackson sponsored last year that died in the Assembly. But supporters hope this year’s bill will succeed in the Assembly in coming weeks with the Refugio Oil Spill still in the forefront of people’s minds. Last week, Plains All American Pipeline announced that as many as 143,000 gallons could have been released in its May 19 spill, a 40 percent jump in volume from its official 101,000-gallon estimate.

The new bill would prohibit oil companies from drilling in waters three miles off Tranquillon Ridge — labeled a protected area in 2007 — ending an exception in state law that permits drilling in state waters if the federal operations are already tapping the reservoirs. The idea was thought to be practically dead until last year when air force officials reopened the notion of sinking up to 30 wells — using extended-reach technology — from the base.

“It’s do-or-die time,” Jackson said Monday morning, with Environmental Defense Center (EDC) lawyers, elected officials, and supporters carrying “No Drill No Spill” signs behind her. Critics note Jackson and the enviros supported a deal between oil company Plains Exploration and Production (PXP) and EDC in 2009 that would have allowed the company to drill up to 17 wells with the condition that it would terminate in 2022. When asked, Jackson said no other company has agreed to such a plan.

At the close of the press conference, a heckler walking by told the group to drive home in their petroleum-fueled cars. “Oil helps this economy, and it shouldn’t just be denigrated,” the woman charged. Jackson responded, “… we now can learn because of technology to wean ourselves off of it so that we no longer impact the planet.” The commenter countered, “Well, we haven’t done it yet.” And Jackson — Kelsey Brugger added, “We will make our best efforts.” cou rtesy

goleta Venoco submitted last month an emergency permit application to the City of Goleta to transport 34 truckloads of oil over 17 days from its Ellwood Onshore Facility to a location about 50 miles north. The letter argues that 5,500 barrels of stored crude must be removed due to “time-sensitive inspections and maintenance” necessary for the “safety” of its equipment. Goleta spokesperson Valerie Kushnerov said there is no prescribed timeline within which city staff must grant or deny the permits. A public comment period takes place at City Hall on 8/13 at 6 p.m.

Cottage Health will open its new Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital at the end of August and demolish the old one in October. Built to withstand an earthquake 6.0 in magnitude, the 180,000-square-foot hospital, built at a cost of $126 million, is double the size and expects approximately 25,000 pawtients annually. A 50,000-square-foot building to house medical offices is going up on the corner of Hollister and Patterson and set to open in early 2016. The new hospital plans a public behind-the-scenes tour on 8/15.

panel of high-tech Big Brains held the first of four public workshops last Wednesday at City Hall to discuss converting into potable water the six million gallons of treated sewage water the city flushes out to sea daily. The panel of experts will also explore whether more sustainable seawater-intake technology could be used at the city’s soonto-be-refurbished desalination plant, rather than the approved surface intake valves that will lie along the ocean floor, sucking in more than 15,000 gallons of seawater per minute. Attending the event was a bountiful showing of tight-jawed engineers, uniformly serious of mien, paying grim attention to the proceedings.

When the Regional Water Quality Control Board bestowed its blessing on City Hall’s desal permits this January, its members were of many minds and hearts. It turned out the existing permits, for a plant that opened in 1992 and shut down 419 acre-feet later in 1994, were issued without a key finding that the impact on surrounding sea life had been mitigated to the maximum extent feasible. Lawsuits were threatened, first by City Hall, which made it clear it would go nuclear if the water board interfered, and second by environmentalists, who rattled sabers against insufficient environmental review. The outcome is this study, conducted by the National Water Research Institute, which must go to the water board by June 2017, about half a year after the desal plant is set to begin production. Yet if any feasible alternatives are identified, there’s no requirement for City Hall to do anything but consider them. City water czar Josh Haggmark stressed how necessary the plant’s resurrection would be next year should El Niño not dump bucketsful as predicted.

Tapping the city’s treated sewage water and eventually injecting it into the city’s groundwater basins for eventual consumption — in engineer-speak, “potable reuse” — comes in two distinct flavors: direct and indirect injection. Some panelists expressed disquiet that the two study subjects were so segregated. If they could be studied in a complementary fashion — in which one compensates for the shortages of the other — a feasible alternative might be crafted. Haggmark stressed deadlines, cautioning that exploring new wrinkles would make it all but impossible to meet them.

A couple of panelists questioned wasting time on alternatives that are impossible for economic or political reasons, such as building a seven-mile pipeline to push treated wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant to the Laurel Canyon treatment facility in the San Roque foothills. And desal critics like Channelkeeper’s Kira Redmond asked, why look at a 10,000 acre-foot water-production maximum when the city is only thinking of 7,500 at most? And just because subsurface intake pipes are more expensive than surface independent.com

ENVIRO-CONSCIOUS: Channelkeeper’s Kira Redmond advocated for subsurface intakes.

intake pipes, she said, the former should not automatically be deemed “infeasible.”

The panelists will evaluate “feasibility” according to 13 separate standards, one of which involves seismic intrusion. Santa Barbara’s desal plant escaped the state’s mandate of subsurface intake technology because of its existing permits. But City Hall has agreed to install fine mesh screens over the intake valves to soften the impact on microscopic marine life and fish larvae. Likewise, the city has pledged to run the pumps at relatively low velocities to reduce the number of small fish “impinged” on the screens. The study will also examine some Santa Barbara beaches to see if subsurface wells could produce water in drought-busting volumes.

According to Santa Barbara Water Commissioner Barry Keller, federal seismic studies since 1984 indicate a significant fault may lie 2,000 feet off the coast. The same reports, if accurate, indicate solid rock sits below the surface strata, suggesting that subsurface well drilling is technically impossible. Keller believes test holes could determine the studies’ accuracy.

Raising general concerns were Dr. Edo McGowan, a former environmental health officer with the United Nations who questioned the public health risks if antibioticresistant bacteria spawned by the sewage treatment plant were sucked into the desal plant, and UCSB environmental filmmaker Mariah Brennan Clegg, who argued climate change contributed significantly to the drought and questioned using an energyconsumptive technology like desalination to solve its effects.

The potable-reuse study will be completed first, the panel of experts decided. Currently, the state allows “indirect” application of treated sewage water at rivers and creeks, where it slowly filters into groundwater basins. Santa Barbara’s groundwater basins, however, are relatively shallow, and there’s not much room to store treated water. Nor is there much free space at the city’s wastewater treatment facility to house the necessary pipes, pumps, and infrastructure. A more direct injection method is being discussed, but no state guidelines or safety thresholds exist.

According to conventional wisdom, those guidelines are at least five years away. n

Eugene Custer Baum passed away on June 17, 2015, at his home in Santa Barbara with his wife beside him. Gene had suffered from prostate and metastatic bone cancer without remission for over a decade.

His limitations were complicated by the effects of Parkinson’s disease and cardiovascular disease.

Gene was born on August 8, 1941, in San Francisco to astrophysicist parents, Custer Charles Baum and Persis Eugenia Fell Baum, who preceded him in death. He was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1967 after graduating from Our Lady Queen of Angels and St. John’s Seminary. After ministering four years at St. Joseph’s Parish in Carpinteria, Gene left active ministry and taught religion and algebra at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in San Bernardino where he met his beloved wife, Sandra Ruth Johnson, who taught biology and math and later became a registered nurse.

Gene will always be remembered for his warm, compassionate, non-judgmental manner, intelligence, humor and sharp wit as exemplified by his April Fools’ Day proposal to Sandra in 1972. Gene remained in Highland, raising their two daughters, and later earned an MFT license and a PhD degree in psychology. He provided clinical care and supervision at the Child and Adolescent Treatment Services (CATS) Clinic, Department of Behavioral Health, County of San Bernardino. After his daughters went to college, he concluded his career as director for Children’s Services, Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services, County of Santa Barbara, retiring in August 2003.

Gene’s deep concern for helping others was modeled in all of his actions. He lived his faith daily by serving others in many kind and gentle ways. His passion most of his life was orchids and grew about a thousand plants. Through his friendship with the owners of the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate, he helped plan and managed their Summer Orchid Fairs during his years of retirement.

bara region. Frani spent much of her childhood at La Vega and at age 13 was one of the youngest girls to win 4-H with her Hereford cow.

Frani’s parents were Dulce de la Cuesta and Earl T. Jensen, both from the Santa Ynez Valley. Frani went to boarding school at the Dominican Convent in San Rafael and later graduated from UC Berkeley, where she was a Kappa Kappa Gamma. At Berkeley, Frani met her husband, Leland M. Crawford, with whom she had a loving marriage of 63 years.

Frani was a very beautiful person inside and out: She was fun and would do anything for her family and her many friends. She loved to garden; play tennis, golf, and bridge; and loved to dance with her husband. Frani and her husband traveled extensively with their friends, with whom Frani enjoyed organizing and hosting golf trips for all over the world. She was involved with the Jr. League, Music Academy, Little Town Club, Santa Barbara Historical Society, and Garden Club.

Frani never gave up and always lived with a smile on her face. Frani is survived by her husband Leland; daughter Paula Emmens and husband Bruce; son Leland Crawford and wife Stacey; granddaughter Sophia Crawford; and grandson Robert Emmens. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Parkinson’s Association or the Santa Barbara Historical Society.

John S. Clark On July 27, 2015, after a 6-year battle with Parkinson’s, Francesca (Frani) Crawford passed away peacefully at home with her family. Born June 30, 1929, Frani was a 6th-generation Californian. She took great pride in her Spanish heritage, being from two of the oldest Spanish families, the Cotas and Carrillos, in Santa Barbara. Her Danish roots go back to her father and grandparents, who were amongst the earliest settlers in Solvang. Frani lived her early years in the Santa Ynez Valley before settling in Santa Barbara, where she and her husband, Leland, raised their two children.

Frani’s ancestry goes back to her great-great-great-grandfather, Sgt. Pablo Cota, who came up with Father Serra in 1769, and Frani’s grandmother Elena Pollard de la Cuesta, tracing Frani’s lineage to 1260 in Spain through the Raimundo Carrillo family. By 1788, Sgt. Cota had settled the Santa Barbara Presidio and supervised much of the work on Mission San Buenaventura and La Purisima. Sgt. Cota’s son, Frani’s great-great-grandfather Francisco Cota, owned the Santa Rosa land grant which he gifted a part (later becoming La Vega) in 1851 to his daughter Michaela Cota for her marriage to Dr. Roman de la Cuesta, a graduate of the University of Salamanca in Spain.

The Donald’s Demagoguery Flows Naturally from Tea Party Republicanism

M

by J e r r y r o b e r t s

oments after the Republican presidential debate last week, a Fox News personality reported what a focus group had to say about the BarScene-from-Star Wars event.

One guy, identified as “Anthony,” said he liked Donald Trump pre-debate but revised his view after listening to the real estate/reality TV big shot.

“He was mean, he was angry, he had no specifics, he was bombastic,” the man said.

Well, stop the presses for Anthony.

The prime-time spectacle of Trump’s toxic mixture of malevolence, testosterone, and narcissism, masquerading as a political program, surely did not surprise anyone who’s actually watched as he’s surged to the lead over the 17-person GOP field.

Beyond Trump’s singular brand of plutocratic populism, sexist slander, and nasty nativism, however, his short-term success also seems an evolutionary consequence of the politics of resentment peddled by candidates pandering to the rightwing Tea Party faction in the Obama era.

“He is the middle finger. He is the fist on the table,” Christine Matthews, a Republican consultant, wrote in a postdebate memo, widely read in Washington.

“Trump has found this group of voters —the angry, alienated hard liners who are not seeking solutions,” she said, adding that they are “looking for disruption and that’s what Trump delivers.”

CLIFFS NOTES: A quick review for fiesteros who shrewdly pursued happy-hour tequila specials instead of joining the 24 million other Americans who watched last week’s debate: His rivals walked a fine line between disapproval of Trump’s tone and courtship of his voters, as the front-runner played defense against tough questioning by three Fox moderators, most prominently superstar Megyn Kelly, who confronted him about his history of crude comments about women (post-debate, Trump suggested her aggressiveness was due to menstruation).

Among 18,502 words spoken, according to CNN’s debate transcript, there were two mentions of the “middle class,” and “climate change,”“gun violence,” and “student debt” were not referenced.

Despite a widely panned performance, Trump still leads the pack in early afterdebate polling, with steady 20-or-so percent support. (In another poll released this week, 10 percent of Republicans said they believe Elvis is still alive, and 7 percent said they aren’t sure.) While he clearly benefits from posing as an outsider, he also apparently benefits among GOP voters from aligning politically with

standard Republican positions on issues affecting three key constituencies.  Women. No contender joined Kelly in challenging Trump over his record of vulgarities about women. True fact: The only topic affecting women was abortion rights, as Trump and the others took Taliban-like positions favoring a government ban on the procedure, amid several calls for prohibition even in cases of rape, incest, and endangerment of a mother’s life, and much Planned Parenthood bashing. No appeals for pay equity or family leave were sounded.  Latinos. Trump’s demagogic hobbyhorse is immigration, and his sole policy proposal has been construction of an impenetrable wall along the U.S.Mexico border, a fantasy that most other wannabes share. This is likely to alienate further Latino voters who have backed Democrats in recent years. Many polls show that while immigration is not their No. 1 concern, it is the threshold issue: A candidate opposed to a path to legal status for immigrants is disqualified in Latino voters’ minds, regardless of stances on the economy, jobs, defense, or anything else.  middLe CLass. Trump and the others endorsed three economic ideas: a) cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy; b) revoking the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, passed during the Great Recession; c) repealing Obamacare, in which 16.4 million previously uninsured Americans have enrolled. No word on minimum wage increase.

WHAT HE’S FOR: “We have to make our country great again, and I will do that,” Trump said, summing up his platform.

For now, his strongman promises are enough to command the overcrowded GOP field, but don’t bet the house on him quite yet. Four of five Republicans aren’t behind him, and his numbers remained stalled after they heard directly from him.

Trump’s coarse, mercurial, and volatile style is unlikely to wear as well as that of more substantive candidates with better campaign organization, more personal discipline, and thicker skins. He has made clear that if he is not “treated fairly” by Republicans — whatever that means — he may well launch an independent candidacy.

“A campaign is not a reality TV show.

It’s a very tough exercise,” ex-Ronald Reagan strategy veteran Ed Rollins, who “managed” Ross Perot’s 1992 third-party campaign, told the Washington Post.“You don’t have the privilege of just saying,‘I’m a billionaire, I’m going to build a wall and n screw you.’ ”

DMV Rules and Other Fiction

NO COP, NO STOP: I’m reading this fantastically funny work of fiction titled the California Driver Handbook. (My edition is subtitled Does Not Apply Within City Limits of Santa Barbara.)

True, the DMV booklet lists all these laws one must obey, or else, such as stopping at stop signs and even (surprise!) for pedestrians. But our Santa Barbara–only edition adds asterisks to the rules: “Suggestion Only.” We’re different.

I’ve been in Third World cities with safer streets. In Moscow, for instance, I watched Mafia gangsters roar around in big black limos while everyone else pulled over the way we would for a honking fire truck or ambulance. I saw no accidents because everyone knew his or her place—or else. Besides, Putin might be in that other car.

When I was in Havana a few years ago, there were few cars on the streets. Owners of 1950s American-made autos were fanatically careful of their precious Detroit iron. The average speed was about 10 miles an hour.

After all, Fidel might be in the other car.

Here in Santa Barbara, it isn’t that we all drive as if we’re on the Indianapolis Speedway; it’s that we just don’t like to obey the law, especially the ones involving stopping for anything. Get out of the way, you moms with strollers! Stopping is for sissies or Montecito matrons in 1955 Rolls-Royces.

For basically relaxed people, we’re always in a hurry for some reason. We know that if we come to the required full stop at a signal, a driver coming the other way will see this as weakness. He or she will take advantage of this to dart across our path.

This, of course, is assisted by the well-known “rolling stop.” Your wheels just keep turning until you notice even a moment’s hesitation by the opposing (enemy) motorist.

Then you hit the gas. This maneuver is associated with the famous Santa Barbara “no cop, no stop” DRIVE LIKE A RUSSIAN: Moscow follows its own rules when it comes to automobiles, not unlike tradition.

Speaking of scofflaws, Santa Barbarans consider it their right to get their licenses from other states. I even know a Californian without a country who only packs an international license. Here, we normally have to agonizingly renew licenses every five years or so, depending.

My wife, Sue, facing a renewal crisis, is driving me crazy, fretting about passing that quiz. So she’s pestering me with all those questions from the DMV handbook that don’t even apply in Santa Barbara.

I went into the DMV office the other day and watched a roomful of miserable-looking folks hunched over handbooks, facing the prospect of all those trick questions. But if they somehow got an Arizona license, they wouldn’t have to renew it until they were 65 years old. I am not making this up. They’d have to go in every 12 years for a new photo and vision test, however.

Years ago, when I started driving the mean streets of Chicago, we didn’t have seat belts or car phones. Texting hadn’t been invented.

Sex had only recently been invented. Today, I see drivers up and down State Street with cell phones clamped to their ears or punching away texting or sexting, whatever that is.

Illegal, yes, according to the DMV. But these folks have the attitude: Hey, catch me if you can. I’m a Santa Barbaran.

hirteen years ago, in trying to make a different point, I made a poorly expressed comment about the next generation of the Chumash. I quickly apologized for the comment.

What is remarkable to me is that the Tribe would choose to use that negative remark to promote their dedication to educating their young people. Why would they want to do that?

Clearly the successful efforts to provide Tribal youth with a good education should stand on its own and should be applauded on its own merits.

ecently, I read that you plan to rename our main post office in Santa Barbara. I was and am a pacifist and an ardent opponent to war as a solution … in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, or anywhere. To name such a prominent building after a military person is an affront to the many people of Santa Barbara who got out and protested Saturday after Saturday, week after week, before our government decided to send our soldiers into harm’s way in Afghanistan. You yourself even opposed this decision.

What are you thinking?! Please do not rename the post office without a chance for local public comment. Find another way to give tribute to the soldier, — Ann Brode, S.B. if you must.

his alert is for all non-Hispanic whites whom we Latinos now outnumber in California.

First, we expect you to learn Spanish. We will no longer tolerate side discussions in English we cannot understand. Spanish was spoken here long before you arrived. Either attend language school or move on.

Second, if you wish to remain, we expect you to assimilate. We can no longer accept you living in all-white segregated communities with no intent of integrating into our way of life. Either fit in with the rest of us or move on.

Third, your white-collar crimes are far out of proportion to the percentage you represent in the general population. These include corporate safety and environmental violations, bank fraud, stock manipulation, embezzlement, and tax evasion—all of which bring heavy costs to those of us who work hard to earn an honest living. Either change your ways, go to jail, or move on.

Fourth, we Latinos tend to be somewhat more religious than non-Hispanic whites. Many of us still believe God is an active force in our lives. Meanwhile, non-Hispanic whites have led the way to secular priorities, non-belief, and even atheism. Whatever your religious or spiritual inclination, either return to the strong family values we Hispanics value highly or move on.

As a new minority in California, non-Hispanic whites have an opportunity to become valued citizens of our state, but the demographics have shifted and expectations are higher. Just remember, exciting changes are within your reach, and we are here to help!

n the summer, Isla Vista is perfect.

The cool coastal breeze softens the heat rays bouncing off the asphalt, and the feeling of camaraderie among the college students who stayed in town for the three warm months is great. An un-crowded beach town during the summer— summer who would want to be any place else?

We all know I.V. is the opposite of light during the remaining nine months of the year. To call Isla Vista a densely populated unincorporated area is a bureaucratic buzz phrase that dulls the image of thousands of students packed into shabby apartments.

We all know about the house music that blasts from open-door parties on Del Playa where keg stands and Gaucho Ball last until the beer— or “plastic handle” vodka— vodka runs out. We all know about the skinny-dipping, the shoppingcart racing, and the rooftop dancing. We all also know about the violent elements — the rapes, drug deals gone bad, and the tragic falls from the bluffs.

But most of us would like to pretend the chaos does not exist. At least not to the degree we can do anything about it. But Elliot Rodger changed that, at least for a while. When Rodger’s brutal rampage took the lives of six young college students, the collective consciousness determined it was time to wake up — as it did 14 years ago after David Attias struck and killed four students one horrific night.

Last summer, the UCSB Board of Trustees — operating independently from university administrators— administrators funded an extensive study on how to fix I.V. It produced a laundry list that included UC buying student housing and other solutions addressing the overcrowded conditions. But at the top of the list was the establishment of a local governing structure.

That might seem like a no-brainer, but for the last 40 years, as the UCSB student body grew and grew, no one was really running the show— show not the university, which has no legal responsibility over the Isla Vista area, nor the County of Santa Barbara, which is technically in charge but financially stressed.

The only elected authority is the I.V. Recreation & Park District, which was formed in 1972 but only after a bitter battle pitting outraged students against just about everyone with authority. Even its next-door neighbor, Goleta, which had also long been an unincorporated area of tens of thousands, would repeatedly refuse to accept cityhood if I.V. was to be part of the plan.

When Goleta did incorporate in 2002, it did so without bringing along 15,000 college kids and their bicycles. Isla Vista and truly became an orphan left out in the cold. Enter State Assemblymember Das Williams. A son of Isla Vista and an unorthodox, ambitious politician, he launched an assbackward approach to the problem. The great part about assbackward approaches is that they sometimes work.

can das williams

bring a voice to isla vista? by kelsey brugger

Das Williams sponsored a bill, AB 3, which offers a form of self-governance for Isla Vista. His ass-backward approach is that he completely skipped the usual method of creating a voice for the politically disenfranchised. He bypassed working with LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission), a group made up of regionally elected officials who have repeatedly refused to grant separate status to I.V. Cityhood attempts failed in the 1970s and 1980s because it determined the area lacked the tax revenues to support the amenities included in a city.

Also, property owners lobbied against it with a vengeance, fearing a city could implement rent control. Others worried parking control would obstruct beach access.

To take this unorthodox path, Williams risked political capital. And a lot of people asked why. Why would a politician well known for his ambition take on a project that does not appear to aid his immediate political goal? Williams has announced that he will be running in 2016 to represent the county’s 1st District, which encompasses Carpinteria, Montecito, and much of the City of Santa Barbara— Barbara decidedly not Isla Vista.

When Governor Jerry Brown, looking to fund education, abolished the state’s redevelopment agencies in 2012, Isla Vista took a $6 million annual hit— hit money that had been intended for sidewalks, landscape, and new housing. Williams had been a strong advocate for their dissolution. He said at the time,“… if I have a choice between schools and redevelopment agencies, I’m taking schools.” Perhaps this stance, in part, explains why he has gone out on a limb for Isla Vista.

I heard you have a procedure that can help me heal faster after surgery. What is that?

We are excited to be using Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (or L-PRF) therapy in our office now and have seen great results with it speeding up the recovery process for our surgical patients. What we do is take a small amount of blood from you and place it in our in-office centrifuge. Once the blood separates, we are left with a fibrin matrix that can be formed into any shape to fit the needs for your specific surgery. The presence of these platelets, white blood cells and proteins help jump start your body’s healing and clotting process.

Or one can argue Williams’s Isla Vista activism is in his blood. Certainly that is the position of his father, Malcolm Gault-Williams, who was part of the last failed attempt to establish cityhood, led by the longtime activist Carmen Lodise. Gault-Williams recently said that though he might still hope for an eventual I.V. cityhood, it is obvious something must be done now, and this is Isla Vista’s best shot: “… [the bill] is being spearheaded by a man who grew up in Isla Vista, who knows its complexities and understands its problems, personally.”

The best part is that there aren’t any foreign materials or chemicals involved-it all comes from you! This type of therapy can be useful in everything from extractions to grafting procedures.

In addition to helping you recover faster, L-PRF virtually eliminates risk of having a dry socket and increases overall success of the surgery. If you are in need of dental surgery, please stop by the office and we would be happy to discuss the benefits of this procedure with you.

In recent years, students had seriously studied the possibility of creating a community services district, a practical model for Isla Vista residents to speak to the county and UCSB. The notion is to create a nucleus for the crammed, jammed, and lawless place that is boxed in by the Pacific Ocean, Devereux Slough, the UCSB main campus, and the city of Goleta.

Boiled down, AB 3, if signed by the governor, would place an initiative on the 2016 ballot allowing Isla Vista residents to vote on establishing a community services district, a quasi-city with an elected board of five members, and two appointed seats, one by county supervisors and one by the UCSB chancellor. The district would be funded by taxes from utilities, allowing for a planning commission, tenant-landlord mediation, augmented police officers, a parking district, and other services.

When the bill was first introduced, Williams stressed the process was just the beginning and its language would be drafted based on the community’s needs.

Since January, a group of students and homeowners have met more than 50 times to go over particulars so many times it left observers dizzy.

In 1971, 18-year-olds received the right to vote, and everything changed. Already a political hotbed of student activism against the Vietnam War, Isla Vista became radioactive, eventually turning the county’s 3rd District, which included I.V., into the swing district.

The Democratic machine set up shop in the college town and, for the most part, was able to register enough campus voters to determine the balance of power at the Board of Supervisors.

The rub has always been that the thousands of Isla Vista voters could not exert any real local political will of their own. There is simply no vehicle for it. “I’ve always held that it’s only when residents have responsibility that they will pay attention to the rules,” Lodise said last fall.

The establishment of a community services district, champions argue, could eventually strengthen enforcement of overcrowded apartment complexes. Four beds in a garage are not uncommon. But this raises an uncomfortable question: Where would forced-out tenants even go?

Nevertheless, the special district, ultimately, could begin to change the sense of anarchy that makes I.V. wild and free, and dangerous.

independent.com

That said, there are a host of issues opponents raise. For starters, the process of setting up a district usually requires petitioners to complete a fiscal study. Williams decided that was initially unnecessary and charged forward. Since then, various groups have chipped in the funds for a study to determine which services a newly formed district would even be able to realistically support.

Others wondered why Williams did not push forward a bill that’s been lingering in the halls of Sacramento, authored by former state senator Robert Lagomarsino in 1972 and signed by governor Ronald Reagan, that would create an I.V. community services district. But when the bill passed, community activists were so gung-ho about cityhood the initiative never got enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Williams did not revive that bill, he said, because it would have required the approval of LAFCO, that intergovernmental agency he has long distrusted, blaming the 45 years of I.V.’s lack of self-governance solely on LAFCO boards. Critics who charge his bill takes the matter outside of local control—and to Sacramento— fail to see that it was those authorities who have denied Isla Vista residents the ability to create their own destiny, Williams said: “That seems not to be what local control is about.”

nothing funny aBout lafco If you have never heard of the acronym LAFCO (pronounced laugh-co), consider yourself lucky. Williams’s public frustration toward the agency intensified in the last year, calling the situation in Isla Vista an “emergency.” He seemed to take personally what he saw as the commission’s long-term negligence. “People are being hurt by the fact that Isla Vista does not have adequate local services. There is something that can be done about it,” Williams said in April. “I think that frankly outweighs LAFCO’s opposition.”

LAFCO commissioners have insisted that it is not a proactive agency; it can only respond to received applications. AB 3, a bill they discussed ad nauseam at their monthly meetings, is, according to most of them, essentially an undemocratic, blank-check, bypassing process.

coveR stoRy As the bill is written today, LAFCO would be allowed limited input — it could review the proposed district and could recommend whether or not it thought the district should go to a vote of the people. It would not, however, be able to prevent the vote outright.

Third District Supervisor Doreen Farr, who chairs the LAFCO board, has deviated from her fellow commissioners, calling the bill the “best chance” for the community, noting that if a district proposal went through LAFCO, only property taxes could be collected, but AB 3’s utility tax would be paid by all residents. Also, she admitted that the county is strapped for funds, so even though this year the supervisors were able

munity. For the most part, it looked like a love fest, but when he asked I.V. Rec & Park staff, which maintains 25 parks throughout the area, why the park district was not consolidated into AB 3’s community services district, he was told it was because Rec & Park had existed for decades. That did not sit well with Hertzberg, who noted that the governor does not want to establish new districts that would clutter government.

LOVE FEST: Three weeks ago, state senators Hannah-Beth Jackson (top right) and Bob Hertzberg (below left) attended an AB 3 meeting held by Williams. The group talked about how a community services district would serve the unique needs of Isla Vista.

to allocate more than a half-million dollars to improving Isla Vista, it is not part of a guaranteed annual budget.

Aside from LAFCO, Williams and his district director, Darcel Elliott, have relentlessly lobbied every elected official in the region for support. And the efforts are working.

heRtzBeRg comes to town State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, despite being a longtime political and personal comrade to Williams, has shied away from taking a position on the bill before it gets to the senate for a vote. When asked, she said she is “anxious to see how the feasibility study comes out.”

Even more surprising was the support given the bill by political heavyweight State Senator Bob Hertzberg, who chairs the senate local governance committee. In the past, he has worked to strengthen LAFCO’S powers yet appears to be shepherding the bill through the Senate. It has already zipped through his committee. Three weeks ago, Hertzberg made a trip up to Isla Vista “to understand” the com-

Since then, concern has grown about the fate of the park district, an agency receiving $1.4 million from I.V. bed and property taxes.

The crux of the matter may be that the park district’s nine fulltime employees are members of SEIU (Service Employees International Union) Local 620, the local chapter of a public employee union. Williams, who has had long, close ties with the union, assured an SEIU rep earlier this year that AB 3 would not undermine union contracts. If passed as presently written, that might be true. The bill specifies that the special district would not provide the same services currently offered through the park district. But if Hertzberg is correct, and the governor would veto a bill that creates another entity to a relatively small population, Williams would have a tough decision to make. “Which direction he would go is anyone’s thought,” Rodney Gould, general manager of the park district, said.

Williams does not see it as either-or: dissolving the park district and angering his union allies or risking a veto. “There may be other options to satisfy the governor’s opinion to simplify government,” he said. “The only reason this has become an issue is because Hertzberg was asking good questions,” Williams told me. “And we want to be able to answer … any questions that the governor will pose to us.” The bill is expected to be on Brown’s desk later this summer, as it looks like it will pass off of the Senate floor by September 11. Williams, in an act of faith, noted that of his 40 bills that have reached the governor’s desk, Brown has only vetoed one.

ROCK THE BUS: As a 17-year-old high school dropout, Williams lived during the summer months in a 1970 Volkswagen bus.

BaBy das Faith plays a part in William’s life, past and present. As a kid, Williams said he was a skeptic. He would spar with his grandfather, an Indonesian member of the Dutch Royal Navy during World War II, who had developed a deep belief in God witnessing the horrors of Japanese prison camps. Young Williams would pick apart every line in the Bible, just to annoy him, saying science was his only religion. But by the time he was 17 and “had lived more of life,” he began to embrace Christian teachings.

As a teenager, his upbringing was far from stable, moving between his evangelical mother’s house in Ventura and his Maoist father’s in Isla Vista. “I wasn’t one of those kids who thought, ‘I don’t understand why my parents aren’t together anymore,’” he said.

In 4th grade, Williams moved in with his father on the 6600 block of Del Playa Drive, or the “war zone” as he called it, referring to the street’s infamous party culture. The young Williams would stand outside of the Isla Vista Food Co-op, selling newspaper articles his dad had published in the Guardian. He walked everywhere, always had a job, and would methodically deposit his earnings into the credit union.

At the time, there was hostility between the counterculture kids and the families who attended St. Athanasius Church, once located at the top of the Embarcadero loop. Williams tried to straddle both worlds. “It was an early lesson in politics,” he said. For a year in high school, he lived with his best friend’s parents, who were churchgoers. The next year he was sent to his mom, who had moved to Paso Robles. There he quickly learned to hate suburbia and to realize that most poor kids do not get to grow up at the beach. He started fights with bullies and “had no tolerance for injustice.” He dropped out of high school at age 16.

He returned to Isla Vista to live — during the warm months — in a Volkswagen bus he

parked at Leadbetter Beach while attending Santa Barbara City College. Hand painted across the side of the bus was the phrase “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité,” and what he described as “obnoxious anti-cop” bumper stickers were stuck to the back.

In 1992, Williams got his start in politics by working on supervisor Bill Wallace’s campaign for the 3rd district. Wallace — a veterinarian by trade and the champion of slow-growth politics — spearheaded aggressive door-to-door, get-out-the-vote efforts in Isla Vista.

Later Williams transferred from SBCC to UC Berkeley, taking a short detour to South Africa when he learned that Chris Hani, the communist, anti-apartheid activist, had been killed. He worked on Nelson Mandela’s ANC campaign in 1994. Williams returned energized, deciding American politics were not as “icky” as he once thought because you don’t have “to be tortured or kill people to create change.”

Four years later, Williams joined HannahBeth Jackson’s campaign for the Assembly, and their relationship grew from mentormentee to familial. It was from her he learned to “rage against the machine.”“If you ever hear one of her speeches,” he said, “you are ready to go to the barricades.” Williams was “sort of like a puppy with lots of enthusiasm” who needed to focus his energy, Jackson recalled.

“I think he’s done that.” Their positions on matters are often—but not always—aligned.

Williams’s own political career started around the time he became active in PUEBLO, the community organization that received its first grant and office space from the SEIU. Over the course of his political career, the national union would be one of his top contributors, chipping in more than $57,000 to his Assembly campaign coffers.

Williams champions, along with SEIU, the living-wage campaign, an effort to deter governments from contracting out public jobs.

In 2003, at 29, he was elected to the Santa Barbara City Council. In 2010, he was elected

Many homeowners have long feared transient youth voting for higher taxes and leaving them with the long-term bill. Landlords have similar concerns. Chuck Eckert, chair of the property owners association, called the bill a “huge disappointment.” But, at a recent meeting, the association failed to take a formal position on the bill.

Historically, the university snubbed the unruly town, acting as if its jurisdiction ends where the campus hits the pavement. George Thurlow, UCSB’s alumni association’s executive director, has attended the meetings regularly as Chancellor Henry Yang’s appointed Isla Vista czar. Though Williams cut the UCSB campus out of the district’s boundaries, the chancellor would be able to appoint someone to sit the board. That fact caused some community DAWN PATROL: Williams repairs his surfboard at age 18 on Sabado members to object. “No representation withTarde in Isla Vista. out taxation,” they argued. After meetings with university administrators, Williams believes the to the Assembly, and he hired his 1st District director school will likely contribute some amount of money.

While some have suggested the university’s recent Jeannette Sanchez from the SEIU management staff.

Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch “I just want to give a big thank-you to Santa Barbara for all their support since 1947,” said Alan Hazard, who is closing the doors of his Santa Barbara Radiator shop at the end of the month after selling the building at Chapala and Gutierrez streets to a businessperson who plans to convert it to offices. Like his father before him, Hazard did custom work on cars and trucks for decades and says his shop is the last of three radiator shops to survive inside the city limits. “It’s just time for me to retire—I’m going to do whatever I want,” said Hazard. “Anyone that needs work done better get their cars in here soon!”

hen my father started Johnson Family Dental back in 1963, he instilled hard work and service in my eight siblings and me. When I bought my father’s practice in 2000, I knew we needed to do everything we could to give back to our community.

So for the seventh year in a row, we are hosting our annual kids’ free dental day this Saturday, August 14, when kids aged one to 12 can have their teeth cleaned, receive a fluoride treatment, and get a quick exam. Called Little Hearts, Big Smiles, this is the perfect event to The author educate both parents and children on how to brush, floss, and create healthy habits. That education is critical because parents play a very important role in a child’s oral hygiene. For my own three kids, we made toothbrushing fun by turning on their favorite song and making them brush until the song was over. But I tell all my patients that children should see a dentist around their first birthday and then come back twice a year to make sure things are growing correctly and teeth are staying clean.

The event can also lead to more dramatic results.

Last year, I remember a little boy of about eight years

Why We Do Free Dentistry

whose parents thought that he was brushing and flossing his teeth daily. However, when we took a closer look, we saw that many of his baby teeth had cavities due to lack of flossing. Just asking our kids to floss isn’t always enough, which is another reason why this free dental day is critical for many.

We would love for you to join us. This year’s participating offices are Johnson Family Dental in Solvang, Ventura, and Camarillo (626-8828) and Alegre Dental and Braces in Santa Barbara (456-5078).

Opens Trim Shop “ S

urf shops are cool, but this is more of a surfboard store,” explains a very tired-looking Ryan Lovelace, who’s shirtless, dirty, sweaty, and surrounded by power tools and surfboards in his nearly finished retail space called Trim Shop. But after listening to him wax philosophic about what Trim Shop will be when it opens this Saturday, August 15, it’s clear the goal goes beyond the simple sale of surf craft. This place, with its record player, couches, art-covered walls, refrigerator of healthy snacks and drinks, and general air of kicked-back stoke mongering, has all the makings of a primetime clubhouse for surf sliders of a certain ilk.

After a mostly ocean-deprived upbringing outside of Seattle, Washington, Lovelace started leapfrogging up the steep surfboardshaping learning curve after moving to Santa Barbara a decade ago. Now with more than 3,500 boards under his belt— belt the majority hand-built and artsy affairs — the soft-spoken regular foot is respected on the international surf scene for prioritizing both form and function. But Trim Shop, which is on Parker Way where Chapala Street hits the 101, is the first time his boards are available on a rack in Santa Barbara. For someone who lives in an old school bus in the hills behind Rincon and shapes boards in half-falling-down hideouts, Trim Shop marks, in Lovelace’s words,“growing up, I guess.”

Sharing the Trim Shop space is the clothing/lifestyle company Psychedelic Honey, run by Lovelace’s girlfriend and artist-of-alltrades, Katie McLean, as well as saltwater sleds from underground South Coast shapers Greg Tally (of White Owl fame), Drew Fletcher, and Connor Lyon. Australian board builders Mick Mackie and Neal Purchase Jr. are also planning on delivering boards to the racks later this year. There are fins, many by Goleta’s True Ames, surf films new and old, a carefully curated selection of books, and various hipster knickknacks. There’s also one big Plexiglas-pyramid-rocket-ship thing in the center of the store, perhaps the most cosmic board display rack ever conceived.

“To be honest, I thought having a store of my own was still a few years away,” admitted Lovelace. “But then this place became available, so I figured, why not now? Let’s get people together, sell some surfboards, show some films, have some parties, sell some art. Why not have some fun and see what happens?”

Top Eight Things You Never Knew About the 88-Year-Old Lakers Coach from Santa Barbara

by John Zant he eights were all lined up for Bill Bertka last

Saturday. He turned 88 on 8/8. To mark the occasion, here are eight things to know about this 55-year resident of Santa Barbara.

and played against older men at the YMCA in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. He made the high school varsity in his senior year, and after building his strength in the army, he returned to play at Kent State. Willing to take any head-coaching job in the country, he was hired at Midland School in the Santa Ynez Valley in 1952. The small boarding school had no gym and no uniforms when he arrived. After two years, he coached at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, winning a state JC championship in 1957, and had a four-year stint at Kent State.

courtesy

1) Basketball is in his blood: He shot baskets for hours

2) He was a fitness pioneer: Bertka came

to Santa Barbara in 1961 as superintendent of recreation for the city.“All I wanted to do was create activity, get people moving,” he said.

“We started physical fitness programs for men and women at Dwight Murphy Field and the Carrillo Gym. We brought [famed heart specialist] Paul Dudley White here to talk about cardiovascular conditioning.”

Bertka still practices what he preached, speed-walking laps around the La Playa Stadium track and working out in the pool. He held his recreation job for 11 years. “The worst thing that happened was losing Pershing Park,” he said.

The downtown ballpark was torn down after the Dodgers removed their minor-league team from Santa Barbara in 1967.

3) He ran the nation’s top college basketball scouting service: He started Bertka Views to maintain his con-

nection to basketball. It grew into a nationwide network of scouts who evaluated the upcoming opponents of Bertka’s clients. “The biggest challenge was getting the reports to them on time,” he said. Once he drove to San Francisco to deliver a report to the Tennessee coach whose team was on its way to a tournament in Hawai‘i.“I couldn’t mail it to him on time,” Bertka said.“I sat in the bathtub of his hotel room and typed up the report.” Bertka’s wife, Solveig Bertka, took over the business in 1974 when he became general manager of the New Orleans Jazz. “She’s the only woman in history who did what she did,” he said. “John Calipari scouted for her. Roy Williams scouted for her.” Bertka Views lasted until the early ’90s. Bill and Solveig Bertka are in their 60th year of marriage.

John Zant’s

BILLY BE FIT: Even after turning 88 years old on 8/8, Bill Bertka is the epitome of health, swimming regularly in his pool and walking on the beach with Solveig Bertka, his wife of 60 years.

4) He was the first scout to work for an NBA team: The

L.A. Lakers hired Bill Bertka in 1968 to scout college talent.“The GMs would send out questionnaires to college coaches,” he said.“Nobody had a scout at the games.” He started working full-time for the Lakers in the 1971-72 season as an assistant coach. He was responsible for scouting their opponents.

Bill Sharman, the head coach, recalled in a 2011 interview, “I liked to use film footage, which was a new concept, and the great Bill Bertka would stay up all night and splice films together so that we could show them at practice the next day … During the 33-game winning streak, we needed a new projector, and [owner] Jack Kent Cooke didn’t want to spend the money on one … Bertka had to show the film holding a pencil and his finger in the reel to make it work.”

5) He has 10 NBA championship rings: The Lakers

won their first title in L.A. in 1972. A key player, Jim McMillian, was drafted out of Columbia on Bertka’s recommendation. He left the Lakers to become the first GM of the Jazz, a franchise started by Santa Barbara’s Sam Battistone. Pat Riley lured Bertka back to L.A. when he became head coach of the Lakers in 1981.“Riley called me ‘the administrator of all things,’” Bertka said. He sat on the bench next to Riley with clipboard in hand. “I have a chart for every game we played in the ’80s,” Bertka said. Their team won four NBA titles, most memorably in 1985 when the Lakers finally took

Santa Barbara’s U17 boys team has claimed two titles in the U.S. Youth Soccer Championships and reached the semifinals this year. Tim Heiduk (Dos Pueblos High/Westmont College) is one of three college-bound players on the home team. Other standouts include Santa Barbara High’s Brandon Sanchez, Chairat “Lucky” Puengrod of Buena, and Francisco Arroyo of Carpinteria. 5pm.

down the Celtics in Boston.“I was on a knee during Game Six praying for a win,” Bertka said. During the Phil Jackson years, when the Lakers collected five more titles, Bertka was employed as the director of scouting, a role in which the Lakers continue to maintain his services.

6) He drilled three of the most dominating big men in history: Bertka’s specialty on the Lakers’ practice floor

was monitoring the post moves of the centers. He worked with Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O’Neal.“Without a doubt, Kareem was the best of all time,” Bertka said.“Shaq could have been the greatest. From 1999-2002 he was the strongest, quickest big center I’ve ever seen, but his longevity fell short of Kareem’s.”

7) He was busy on NBA draft day for the 48th consecutive year: Bertka was in the “war room” at the Laker

headquarters during the 2015 draft. “There was a lot of deliberation and discussion about the No. 2 pick,” he said.

The Lakers passed up a shot at Duke’s big man, Jahlil Okafor, and chose Ohio State point guard D’Angelo Russell. It was a nod to the increased importance of skilled guards — like MVP Steph Curry of the champion Golden State Warriors — in the evolution of the game. “You must have a solid point guard, people who can shoot three-pointers,” Bertka said. “In the ’80s, six three-pointers a game was a lot. Now, they shoot 20 or 30.” With Russell, the Lakers have three young players whom Bertka describes as “gifted”— the others being 2014 draft picks Julius Randle, the Kentucky forward who missed last season because of an injury, and guard Jordan Clarkson, who made the NBA all-rookie team.

8) He’s the father-in-law of two coaches: The Bertkas

have two daughters — Britt, married to Jim Eyen, an NBA assistant coach since 1988, who joined Byron Scott with the Lakers last year; and Kris, married to Bill Pintard, who has been head coach and manager of the Santa Barbara Foresters baseball team for 21 summers. A loss in the semifinals last week ended the Foresters’ quest for a sixth National Baseball Congress championship. n independent.com

Pairing Fire with Wine paul wellman file photo

ike much of the greater wine world, Santa Barbara County is hitting a saturation point with events in which the wine itself can no longer be the only star of the show. Folks in the Sta. Rita Hills realized this back in 2006 when they started the annual Wine and Fire celebration, which pairs their world-class pinot noir and chardonnay with food cooked over open flames.

This year’s 10th annual affair— affair which kicks off with a party at the Sanford & Benedict barn on Friday night, peaks at the La Purisima Mission tasting on Saturday, and includes open houses all weekend— emphasizes the fire more than ever end before, thanks to the BBQ Blast. Taking the place of the usual Saturday-morning seminar, this grilling demo features five teams of vintners, chefs, and their supporters showing off their chops and tips and assorted bits. They’ll pair finished dishes with their wines and explain which morsels go best with which sip and why.

To get a taste, I asked a few participants what to expect.

County. With SRH fruit in particular, it is the acidity and the smoky, earthy, gamy characters that work so well with grilled food.

Cargassachi: Not all fire is created equal. A lot of our competitors will be using “strike anywhere” fire. Their fire has no soul. Our fire will be authentic paleo fire. We are bringing it from a lightning-strike-initiated forest fire.

Everyone else’s fire has no sense of place — soul-less junk fire — it could be from anywhere.

Is a BBQ battle treading on the toes of your friends up in the Santa Maria Valley, where tri-tip was supposedly invented?

Ostini: Born in Santa Maria, and

now living in the Santa Ynez Valley, I figure I’m rather bi-valley— bi-valley as a chef and as a winemaker. And my family has been grilling in Casmalia outside of Santa Maria for 60-plus years. I have tons of respect for that, and my brother respects what we have done in Buellton.

Cargassachi: Tri-tip and oak grilling is a ranchero tradition. It’s authentic to all of Santa Barbara County. And as a matter of fact, the last woolly mammoths that existed were here on the Channel Islands. What could be more fitting than eating woolly mammoth in the last area that it freely roamed?

The common element is the smoke flavor derived the smoky, earthy, gamy through the acidity of the Sta. Rita Hills chardonnay, from the wood fire.

The crispy chicken sandwich is one of the more reliable lunches on American menus these days, for it’s hard to screw up something with such a tasty morsel of crunchy protein at the core. But Montecito’s newish Honor Bar — run by the Hillstone Restaurant Group, purveyors of casual upscale since 1977 — raises the fried-fowl bar to the roof with this combination of buttermilk-coated chicken, baby Swiss cheese, and spicy Asian slaw served on a pillow-soft bun. One bite is equal parts snap, savory, and sizzle, and eating two wouldn’t be a problem. Being Coast Village Road, it’s not anywhere near cheap, especially since the sandwich is à la carte, so with a state-fair potato salad or handcut fries and Scrimshaw, Matilda, or Oberon beer to wash it down, you’re easily dropping $40.

Caprese Frittata

Sunny, hot summers might not be good for the drought, but they’re great for tomatoes, so much so that many Santa Barbarans can’t keep up with the bounty from their own yards or gifts from friends and neighbors. Here’s an easy way to use them in the morning. Take a wide pan that can be covered, toss in olive oil, and simmer a small diced yellow onion. Turn to medium-low heat, dump in some scrambled eggs (more whites than yolks), and cook uncovered for about five minutes. Then layer sliced tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese, cover, and cook ’til the cheese starts to melt and the liquid starts to evaporate. Toss in basil chiffonade, and cook ’til the bottom is crispy and the liquid on top is mostly gone. The toughest part is transferring to a cutting board or plate without breaking it, so good luck with that!

Then finish with sea salt and pepper, slice like pizza, and dive in.

TAQUERÍA BUEN GUSTO CLOSES: Reader

Cynthia shares some thoughts from Carpinteria: “Just curious to see if you had any information about the space where Taquería Buen Gusto on Carpinteria Avenue in Carp was. It was so strange because one week the restaurant was closed and tented due to some kind of infestation, then it looked open for a couple of days, then it closed for good. I noticed some people working in there a couple weeks ago so thought it may have been sold? I’m praying for a great place to go in there.”

Westland Peated American Single Malt Whiskey: For

those who relish the rich, smoky flavor peat brings to whiskey, the magic spot is Islay in Scotland, home to the likes of Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and Ardbeg.

Islay’s got some competition now, though, from the U.S. of A., specifically Westland in Seattle. While they make a variety of high-end whiskey, the Peated is most striking for its depth of smoke that still is well balanced by grain fruitiness and oak aging in both bourbon and sherry barrels.

Add it up, and this is as complex a postprandial treat as one could indulge in: that smoke, but also oak, a nutty mid-palate coated in a toss of pepper, and a long warming finish. A cigar whiskey, if people are bad; perfect alongside the last aromatic embers of a barbecue for those nobler.

more than rape, not only crisis

pera Santa Barbara (OSB) has a new artistic director. As just the fourth music director in OSB’s 21-year history, Kostis Protopapas (pictured) steps into a coveted position as the organization’s primary creative force. He has directed Tulsa Opera for the past seven years, and, as is common practice among artistic directors in the classical world, he will retain that role while expanding his career to include his responsibilities in our city. Protopapas has also served as assistant conductor at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Los Angeles Opera, and Santa Fe Opera. Known for his boldness in championing new work, Protopapas is equally at home with opera’s standard repertoire. His recent and upcoming schedule spans a remarkable range of periods and genres, from La bohème to Of Mice and Men. Asked about his decision to take the job with Opera Santa Barbara, Protopapas praised the rigor of the selection process and touted the company’s reputation as a magnet for young and talented singers. With degrees in art history and archaeology from the University of Athens in his native Greece, the maestro clearly frames music in a larger cultural context. In describing his goals for Opera Santa Barbara, he said, “the future of the art form is really the most important thing. Although some people think opera is a sound museum of old music, it’s actually a living, breathing art and one that has, in the 21st century, become very American.”

His interest in serving the community goes beyond programming and performing, as he believes strongly that “opera has the potential to reach everyone, but to do that itt has to be out there. We have to bring it to the schools and where people are.”

As artistic director, Protopapas sees listening and learning about Santa Barbara as his first task. He’s glad to have this year, which is already programmed and begins with Mozart’s Don Giovanni at the Granada on November 6 and 8, as a time to hear what

people have to say about what’s being done now.“Every community is different,” he said, “and the first thing on my mind is how to reach as many people as we can and how to do it in a substantial way.” Asked if we should expect to see some newer works or even some premieres as part of his tenure, the maestro demurred, implying that it’s too early for him to say. What he did say was, “I will certainly always remain interested in new works, but the real challenge is to achieve a valid mix and to say something with the standard repertoire.” For Steven Sharpe, the dynamic general director of OSB, this appointment is a big step toward an even brighter future. Sharpe said that “given Kostis’s remarkable record of achievement,

Owl CityMobile orchestra

Adam Young, the electronica mastermind behind Owl City, returns to the music scene with Mobile Orchestra, his first full-length album since his 2012 The Midsummer Station. Young’s ability to play with a wide array of melodies, beats, and instrumentals underlying uplifting, kid-friendly lyrics is what makes his work unique.

Mobile Orchestra includes several artist collaborations, the first with Aloe Blacc in “Verge,” a steady pop track that celebrates being “on the verge” of some sort of adventure. “Thunderstruck,” a duet with Sarah Russell, seems to echo his 2012

collaboration with Carly Rae Jepsen, “Good Time.”

“Thunderstruck” similarly has a ’70s dance disco vibe with multiple music breakdowns and could be comparable to a dance anthem appropriate for a preteen club.

There is nothing covert about Young’s musical faith statements, “My Everything” and “You’re Not Alone” (featuring Britt Nicole), as Young decides to “never wander on my own,” thanks to his belief in a higher being. “Unbelievable” (featuring Hanson) is a nostalgic nosedive into a ’90s pool party of Star Wars memorabilia, jelly beans, and the VHS system.

it’s as well as the respect he justly commands in our industry, we are confident that he will contribute significantly to our artistic and educational efforts. This appointment marks an important and exciting milestone in the evolution of our company.”

Marilyn’s house A brass ensemble located in the second-story windows of the Music Academy of the West’s main house on Wednesday evening, August 5, serenaded the organization’s assembled supporters and five golden shovels.

After brief remarks by board Chair Marge Cafarelli and MAW president Scott Reed, Marilyn Horne stepped to the microphone to acknowledge the honor of having this beautiful building at the crest of the school’s Miraflores campus named for her. A the group of five, including Horne, Reed, Cafarelli, and donors Shirley and Seymour Lehrer, then stepped forward to dig, breaking symbolic ground on not only the renovation of the main house into the Marilyn Horne Main House but also on the Academy’s Finale Capital Campaign. Envisioned as the concluding stage in an ambitious development process that has now spanned more than a decade, the Finale Campaign aims to draw to a conclusion in 2016, when new rehearsal studios will be built on the site of a disused practice building and new Steinway pianos are moved into those remodeled spaces. The total fundraising goal of the Finale campaign is $17.5 million, with $11.7 million already raised, and $5.8 million remaining. The Music Academy of the West has had a historic summer, capped by an unprecedented sold-out performance by the New York Philharmonic at the Santa Barbara Bowl.

MusiC ACAdeMy breaks ground on renovations

All in all, listening to Mobile Orchestra is akin to taking an imaginary rocket ship ride into the Barnes & Nobles kids’ section — one can either embrace the catchy happy-go-luckiness of the album or nix it in favor of more raw music. There is certainly truth to some of the critics who have described Mobile Orchestra as more or less a sugary child’s creation.

But perhaps this unusually Positive Polly–tinged album could be considered a welcome change from the many mainstream artists’ need for edgy selfreinventions for the sake of more downloads.

Reviewed by Charles Donelan udiences at the Santa Barbara Bowl have been captivated by an extraordinary range of music and stage effects in recent years, from the multi-costumed antics of Katy Perry to the driving rhythms and mind-blowing light shows of rock bands like Radiohead and the Flaming Lips. On Monday, August 3, a capacity crowd sat enthralled as the Music Academy of the West presented the New York Philharmonic orchestra in what is certain to go down in Bowl history as one of the most exciting and exotic spectacles yet. More than 100 of the world’s top musicians were arrayed from one end of the stage to the other around maestro Alan Gilbert, resplendent in white dinner jackets and joyous in their consummate execution of a program full of familiar and unfamiliar musical thrills.

Music Academy of the West president Scott Reed introduced the evening by acknowledging perhaps the most encouraging of the many signs on this evening that classical music has a big and enthusiastic audience in our city — the fact that 4,000 of those present had bought their tickets and paid just $10 to be there. The Music Academy’s ambitious four-year partnership with the New York Philharmonic has been made possible by the generosity of Linda and Michael Keston, and the concert at the Bowl was sponsored by the John C. Bowen and Shelby C. Bowen Foundation.

Through these grants, and through the hard work and ingenuity of the Music Academy’s board and staff, one of the world’s great orchestras became, for a night at least, the center of attention for a truly democratic crowd composed not just of veteran Music Academy subscribers, but rather of average Santa Barbarans of every age and level of interest.

Gilbert kicked things off with an overture by Samuel Barber, and then put the orchestra through its paces on one of America’s most beloved works, Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, thus reminding midsummer listeners that the “Spring” in Copland’s title does not refer to the season but rather to the source of the Appalachian, and by extension American, creative spirit.

An inspired medley of songs from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story featuring tenor Ben Bliss and soprano Julia Bullock took the enchanted crowd “Somewhere,” and then to the intermission.

The second portion of the program swung between feel-good pops material and more romantic Americana, beginning with a spirited rendition of John Philip Sousa’s The Washington Post and the comic gem Fiddle Faddle from pops perennial Leroy Anderson, before pairing a lush Gershwin Lullaby for Strings with Richard Rodgers’s The Carousel Waltz.

Careful not to keep everyone out too late, or send everyone home too early without a rousing song to hum, Gilbert led the Phil through Sousa’s The Stars and Stripes Forever as an encore. This unimpeachable choice raised a great question: How often does the big solo of the encore at a Bowl show n go to the piccolo?

FIND THE GROOVE: Eight-piece Canadian band KC Roberts & the Live Revolution bring their funk music to Blind Tiger on Friday, August 14.

KC and His Fun-Times Band

FRIDAY NIGHT!

FRI / AUG 14 / 8:30 PM / SB COUNTY COURTHOUSE SUNKEN GARDEN

by Richie DeMaria

FUNK, EH? Hailing from Toronto, KC Roberts & the Live Revolution aren’t

your typical Canadian act. While many of their fellow countrymen try to re-create the hip heights of indie rock bands like Broken Social Scene, Roberts and his eight-piece ensemble groove to a different, funkier beat.

Joining headliners True Press on Friday, August 14, at Blind Tiger, they vow to wow with a blast of northerly funk. I interviewed KC via email to discuss his current tour, funk music, and the homogeneity of indie rock.

How is the tour going so far? Any highlights? The tour has been a blast so

far. Ridiculously scenic. From the big Alberta sky, driving into the mighty Rocky Mountains, the whole band is on a cloud of inspiration and purpose, as we move through these old giants. Every town has a different personality. We’re playing for a lot of new faces, and it’s nice to watch the surprise drift through the crowd when we start playing. The first couple songs start out with people really trying to figure what we are musically. Then they just give in, and soon we’ve got ’em dancing, singing, and having a time.

Calgary was a definite highlight. It was a full-on, raging dance party from start to finish.

For a tried-and-true genre like funk, where does inventiveness come in for you guys? We have solo sections in at least half of our music. We try to give

everyone a feature a couple times a night. It’s fun to give everyone a chance to speak. We have nights when we’ll just completely change moments in a song, and enter some jam and pocket that makes us all smile. We are not funk “purists” in that we are not interested in only looking back and recreating a particular vintage sound. To us, this is an artistic and creative endeavor moving the genre forward. I discovered funk more through bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jamiroquai as a teen, and also filtered through electronic D&B. That hit me more at first than Earth, Wind & Fire and James Brown, but we’ve made our way back, and have a deep reverence for the lineage.

Your new album is called From the North. Are there ways in which the band is a uniquely Canadian take on funk? I was born and raised in Toronto.

Toronto is a very multicultural and diverse city. I feel like I grew up in a hotbed of culture. Canada is changing, but I feel like I am a reflection of my past, the way the light we see in our sky is just a picture of the past. We are coming from the Canada we love, and I think to us it’s in the lyrics, the music, the diversity of our record.

What makes Toronto such a great and diverse music scene? Where do you guys fit in as a funk piece — are you outliers, or is there a strong funk scene up there? Toronto has become very known for its “indie rock” scene, but I’m personally not so into that “indie rock sound.” To me it’s very homogenous, and sounds a little lazy, like it’s putting style ahead of heart. It seems these days it’s not cool to care too much about anything, or to say anything stark. I can’t stand music like that, that’s so self-contained.

We have built a huge following in Toronto, and pack venues, but we are a part of a fringe group of bands that are starting to emerge. We have been getting a lot of support from CBC Radio, who dig our music and play us a lot. For the most part, though, the Toronto music industry ignores bands that are too far from a pre-established archetype.

Esperanza Spalding Presents: EMILY’S D+EVOLUTION DUBSTEP VIOLIN: Lindsey Stirling brings her unique blend of classical and EDM to the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday, August 15.

sponTaneous she T

he term “self-made artist” has never applied more than it does to Lindsey Stirling, who got started by taking a class on how to create a career on the web.

When Stirling then posted her first original song and video, “Spontaneous Me,” on YouTube under the username “lindseystomp” — an homage to her high school rock band, Stomp on Melvin — she never expected to get over 22 million views. But her independent path to success should not have been too surprising, as Stirling delivers high energy and music that’s not like anything else out there: violin meets electronic dance music. Based on fan requests, she posts vidby Ginny Chung eos of cover songs partnering with artists, such as John Legend and Macklemore, and theme songs from Game of Thrones and The Phantom of the Opera, all with choreographed dancing.

It is no wonder Stirling’s career has gone beyond that of the average musician. Commonly compared to Paramore’s Hayley Williams — a musical hero of Stirling’s—both in looks and personality, she is a “firecracker onstage.” Her YouTube channel also includes hair tutorials and dance lessons, and she’s in the middle of writing a book, The Only Pirate at the Party, which will be released this January. We spoke via phone to discuss her career, religion, and upcoming Music Box Tour.

Fiddle Star

How do you incorporate other instruments into your songs?

Sometimes I’ll add guitar or featured vocalists or background vocals to the track. But I write the lead violin lines, which is always the main feature.

PlayS MuSic For dancing

How has YouTube affected your life? YouTube — holy cow! — I can do my career at my own pace. I didn’t have anybody to tell me I wasn’t ready, and I learned

GRAMMY® award-winning singer-composer-bassist Esperanza (Emily) Spalding’s newest project, Emily’s D+Evolution, delves into a broader concept of performance, embracing her interests in theater, poetry and movement.

how to self-market and how to strategize. “Spontaneous Me” had already been up on iTunes, but besides my mom and grandma, no one bought it. Once it was up on YouTube, it went crazy.

Lindsey sTirLing

Why electronic music? I tried so many different musics. I kind of burned out on classical and wanted to make it fun again. I started playing with indie bands and country bands and finally realized electronic music brought my style to life.

AUGUST 19

Have you ever taken professional dance classes? Nope, no dance classes.

Over the last two years and for music videos, I hired choreographers. It’s made me a much better dancer and gives my music what I’m looking for.

I understand you’re a Mormon. Does that restrict your lifestyle and/or career? I still follow the lifestyle of the Mormon church. I try to go to church every Sunday even when I’m on tour. It’s not only my upbringing, but it helps me stay sane. It helps me remember my purpose and the overall picture of what is important to me and what makes me happy. People call it a restrictive lifestyle, but it keeps me very safe. At the same time, that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

What happens after this tour? I’m actually jumping in the studio next week to write a new album, which is … ahh … daunting and scary! I’m gonna be making a lot of music videos this fall and will be doing a book tour in January.

Speaking of that, how did you come up with the title of your book? As a kid, I was creative and unique, and I’ve had that my whole life. One time, I went to a costume party, and I was the only pirate there.

You can catch Lindsey Stirling with openers Lights and Olivia Somerlyn at the Santa Barbara Bowl, 1122 North Milpas Street, on Saturday, August 15, at 7 p.m.

A Very Special Solo Evening with

Jerry Douglas AUGUST 28 Dobro master and 14-time GRAMMY® winner Jerry Douglas is to the resonator guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar: elevating, transforming, and reinventing the instrument in countless ways.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of august 13 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): To ensure the full accuracy of this horoscope, I have been compelled to resurrect an oldfashioned English word that isn’t used much any more: “gambol.� It means to cavort and frolic in a playful manner, or to romp and skip around with mad glee, as if you are unable to stop yourself from dancing.

The astrological omens seem unambiguous in their message: In order to cultivate the state of mind that will enable you to meet all your dates with destiny in the coming weeks, you need to gambol at least once every day.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Do you remember your first kiss?

How about the first time you had sex? Although those events may not have been perfectly smooth and graceful, they were radical breakthroughs that changed your life and altered your consciousness. Since then, there may have been a few other intimate rites of passage that have impacted you with similar intensity. No doubt you will experience others in the future. In fact, I suspect that the next installments are due to arrive in the coming months. Get ready for further initiations in these mysteries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two-thirds of us don’t know what our strengths and talents are. That’s the conclusion of a study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology. One reason for the problem is what the report’s co-author Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener calls “strengths blindness,� in which we neglect our real powers because we regard them as ordinary or take them for granted. Here’s the good news, Gemini: If you suffer from even a partial ignorance about the nature of your potentials, the coming months will be a favorable time to remedy that glitch. Life will conspire to help you see the truth. (Read more: bit.ly/truestrengths.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1504, Michelangelo finished his sculpture of the Biblical hero David. But he hadn’t been the first person to toil on the 17-foot-high block

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

of marble. Forty years earlier, the artist Agostino di Duccio was commissioned to carve David out of the stone. His work was minimal, however. He did little more than create the rough shape of the legs and torso. In 1476, Antonio Rossellino resumed where Agostino had stopped, but he didn’t last long, either.

By the time Michelangelo launched his effort, the massive slab had languished for 25 years. I see parallels between this story and your own, Cancerian. I suspect that you will be invited to take on a project that has been on hold or gotten delayed. This may require you to complete labors that were begun by others — or maybe instigated by you when you were in a very different frame of mind.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Great Balancing Act of 2015 doesn’t demand that you be a wishy-washy, eagerto-please, self-canceling harmony whore. Purge such possibilities from your mind. What the Great Balancing Act asks of you is to express what you stand for with great clarity. It invites you to free yourself, as much as you can, from worrying about what people think of you. It encourages you to be shaped less by the expectations of others and more by what you really want. Do you know what you really want, Libra? Find out! P.S.: Your task is not to work on the surface level, trying to manipulate the appearance of things. Focus your efforts in the depths of yourself.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have been slowing to a crawl as you approach an exciting transition. But I’m here to advise you to resume normal speed. There’s no need for excessive caution. You have paid your dues; you have made your meticulous arrangements; you have performed your quiet heroisms. Now it’s time to relax into the rewards you have earned. Lighten your mood, Capricorn. Welcome the onrushing peace and start planning how you will capitalize on your new freedom.

LEO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Muslims, Jews, and Christians are collaborating to erect a joint house of worship in Berlin. The building, scheduled to be finished by 2018, will have separate areas for each religion as well as a common space for members of all three to gather. Even if you don’t belong to any faith, you may be inspired by this pioneering effort to foster mutual tolerance.

I offer it up to you as a vivid symbol of unity. May it help inspire you to take full advantage of your current opportunities to heal schisms, build consensus, and cultivate harmony.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Many people harbor the unconscious bias that beauty resides primarily in things that are polished, sleek, and perfect. Celebrities work hard and spend a lot of money to cultivate their immaculate attractiveness, and are often treated as if they have the most pleasing appearance that human beings can have. Art that is displayed in museums has equally flawless packaging. But the current astrological omens suggest that it’s important for you to appreciate a different kind of beauty: the crooked, wobbly, eccentric stuff. For the foreseeable future, that’s where you’ll find the most inspiration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “No tree can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell,� wrote psychologist Carl Jung in his book Aion. My interpretation: We earn the right to experience profound love and brilliant light by becoming familiar with shadows and suffering. Indeed, it may not be possible to ripen into our most radiant beauty without having tangled with life’s ugliness. According to my understanding of your long-term cycle, Virgo, you have dutifully completed an extended phase of downward growth. In the next extended phase, however, upward growth will predominate. You did reasonably well on the hellish stuff; now comes the more heavenly rewards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Most people reach the top of the ladder of success only to find it’s leaning against the wrong wall.� Aquarian actor Paul Sorensen said that.

It’s no coincidence that I’m bringing this theory to your attention right now. The coming months will be a good time to determine whether the ladder you have been climbing is leaning against the right wall or wrong wall. My advice is to question yourself at length.

Be as objective as possible. Swear to tell yourself the whole truth. If, after your investigations, you decide it is indeed the wrong wall, climb down from the ladder and haul it over to the right wall. And if you’re satisfied that you are where you should be, celebrate!

SCORPIO

PISCES

SAGITTARIUS

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): When he served as Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi denigrated the cuisine of Finland.“Finns don’t even know what prosciutto is,� he sneered. At best, he said, their food is to be “endured.�

He mocked the “marinated reindeer� they eat. But Finland fought back against the insults. In an international pizza contest held in New York, their chefs won first prize for their “Pizza Berlusconi,� a specialty pizza that featured marinated reindeer. The Italian entry finished second. I foresee you enjoying a comparable reversal in the coming months, Pisces. And it all begins now.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In some phases of your life, you have been a wanderer. You’ve had a fuzzy sense of where you belong. It has been a challenge to know which target you should aim your arrows at. During those times, you may have been forceful but not as productive as you’d like to be; you may have been energetic but a bit too inefficient to accomplish wonders and marvels.

From what I can tell, one of those wandering seasons is now coming to a close. In the months ahead, you will have a growing clarity about where your future power spot is located — and may even find the elusive sanctuary called “home.� Here’s a good way to prepare for this transition: Spend a few hours telling yourself the story of your origins. Remember all the major events of your life as if you were watching a movie.

Homework: What’s the best thing you could give right now to the person you care for the most?

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.

Attorney for Petitioner: Jeffrey B. Soderborg 1900 State Street, Suite M Santa Barbara, CA 93101; (805) 805‑687‑6660.

GhoulinG Brandos

Listen to Me Marlon. Marlon Brando stars in a documentary written by Stevan Riley and Peter Ettedgui and directed by Riley.

Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

T

his is a gunky movie, a creepy attempt at an art-house docu-biopic. Even its methods are morbid—director Stevan Riley, who made the fine James Bond documentary Everything or Nothing, got hold of hours of audiocassette tapes Marlon Brando left behind, a combination of talking journals and selfmotivating pep talks. Riley also discovered that Brando’s face had been scanned and digitized, so the filmmakers were able to sync and construct a psychedelic version of Brando “reading” the tapes, like Max Headroom from beyond the grave. This is actually the good part of the movie, though.

What’s disturbing is the sordid way Riley framed the life. We know Brando’s life courted deep tragedies and astonishing triumphs, and not all of it was onscreen.

But Riley’s movie begins and ends at Brando’s Los Angeles compound, the site of two disasters involving his children, and then cuts to the man himself weeping.

When you begin and end like this, it’s hard to credit the considerable genius Brando displayed, roles that defined the history of cinema: stevedore, motorcycle delinquent, Nazi soldier, Mafia don, Superman’s dad, Colonel Kurtz, and more. Even though that’s all chronicled here, it feels too deeply lost in shadows. One of the high points of the footage Riley grabbed was a television interview with a beautiful woman that Brando turned into a seduction.

Every charming aspect is turned sleazy.

LAST TANGO WITH BRANDO: Documentarian Stevan Riley’s morbid Listen to Me Marlon summons the ghost of Marlon Brando through the actor’s self-recorded audio journals.

You could argue that any good Brando profile would come to this conclusion. But Riley hasn’t built a nuanced newsreel here as much as a tabloid autopsy. There are invigorating moments—the A Streetcar Named Desire scenes and discussions where Brando airily dismisses Francis Ford Coppola and Bernardo Bertolucci. But the documentary feels superficial and leaves out so much (his directorial one-shot One-Eyed Jacks, for instance).

For all that, Marlon is still an opportunity to spend some weird time —as usual —with the greatest cinematic actor ever. Even though it might make you feel crummy afterward, you shouldn’t miss it. n

Shaun the Sheep is living proof that great artists of wacky vision are best left to muck about in those visions.

Originally spun off from Aardman’s most famous creation, Wallace and Gromit the farmer’s head that re-creates him as a celebrated (“Chee-eese, Gromit!”), Shaun the Sheep became its hairdresser.

Straight Outta Compton (147 mins.; R: language throughout, strong sexuality/ nudity, violence, and drug use) This film tells the story of the revolutionary hip-hop group NWA — which included Dr. Dre and Ice Cube — which emerged in the late 1980s from the tough streets of Compton.

Camino Real/Metro 4

PREMIERES American Ultra (96 mins.; R: strong bloody violence, language throughout, drug use, and some sexual content)

Camino Real/Fiesta 5 (Opens Thu., Aug. 20)

O The End of the Tour

(106 mins.; R: language including some sexual references)

It’s hard to imagine a wide audience for this excellent film, yet it would be a shame to miss this expertly layered portrait of writer David Foster Wallace as a recluse. This is a brave film that finds memories and ghosts driving through snowscapes. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo Hitman: Agent 47 (96 mins.; R: sequences of strong violence and some language) Rupert Friend stars as an elite, genetically engineered assassin who is tasked with taking out the leaders of a megacorporation who plan to create an army of killers more powerful than even Agent 47.

Straight Outta Compton

NOW SHOWING Ant-Man (117 mins.; PG-13: sci-fi action violence)

Had Ant-Man been a Marvel superhero version of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids with visual wit and a healthy sense of microcosmic wonder, it would have been a great movie. But what should have been fun ended up overinflated with too much awkward Disney moralizing.

(DJP).

Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D) Fantastic Four (100 mins.; PG-13: sci-fi action violence and language)

Fantastic Four feels like two films — a dark brooding story about how four young scientists get turned into mutants by a science project gone astray; then, three quarters of the way through, the movie changes gears as the four amigos battle an egotistical colleague whose powers exceed theirs. Marvel stories are goofy with a side of tragic yearning, but this film seems more like Kafka’s The Metamorphosis with a kick-butt ending.

(DJP).

Camino Real/Metro 4 The Gift (108 mins.; R: language) When Simon (Jason Bateman) and his wife, Robyn (Rebecca Hall), bump into an old high school acquaintance of Simon’s, sinister secrets emerge from the past that send their world into a harrowing tailspin.

Metro 4

O Inside Out (94 mins.; PG: mild thematic elements and some action) This film’s inner journey is a blast, especially the map of consciousness provided: A train of thought takes viewers from long-term memories, through the Unconscious, and down to a scary pit where memories go to die. We believe a silly premise and feel the war between regrets and happy days raging in a world of animated change. (DJP) Fiesta 5 (2D)

O Irrational Man

(95 mins.; R: some language and sexual content)

unfunny ones that have to do with murders or violence. This is one of those bloody movies, and in it Joaquin Phoenix plays Abe, a tempestuous popular philosophy professor who is in a funk.

The “solution” to his problem provides fine sinister impetus. (DJP) Riviera

This is the first of five Mission: Impossible movies not helmed by a big-name director (the illustrious past equals Brian De Palma, John Woo, JJ Abrams, and Brad Bird), and it feels the most like my dad’s favorite TV show. The best part of the movie is Sean Harris, who is rapidly becoming the greatest villain in screen history, and it’s his banal evil figure that makes this plot so much better than fancier-directed installments.

Trophy Ranch Estates in Santa Ynez Valley

and there are hardwood floors throughout. Since the living space is all upstairs, you look down on your neighbors, with mountain views as a backdrop, for an almost treehouse feel. Completing the grown-up dorm-room atmosphere is the huge oversized garage. This space is just begging to be used as a massive playroom, the perfect open office space for your startup, or to fulfill your creative fantasies as an art studio for collaborating with your housemates.

The backyard is fenced high enough to be completely private, with a roomsized patio and a grassy area ready for a game of horseshoes while you wait for the barbecue. The location of this home is perfect, too. You’re on the very edge of the Westside, offering a quick hop onto the freeway or a straight shot to the beach in a couple of different directions. Whether you all walk downtown together or go your separate ways for the day, you’ll be happy to be back home with your besties at the end of the day.

Walking through 1219 Chino Street, I could almost feel Chandler or Joey lurking in the next room. This home is billed as a condo but sure doesn’t feel like one. We enter through a dramatic foyer with a winding staircase up into the main room, which is a huge combination kitchen and great room with soaring ceilings and a commanding feel. This is where the family — or in my fantasy, the friends — would congregate. Unless they’re sleeping, they’re hanging out right here. The home has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Each bedroom feels like a master, with plenty of space and separation from the others.

By Santa Barbara standards, this home is brand-spanking-new, built in 2006, but feels solid and has quality treatments and amenities. The bathrooms are beautifully tiled with well-chosen fixtures. The kitchen has custom built-ins,

t’s not just me. I’m sure plenty of us have had conversations with our best friends at various stages in our lives that revolved around moving in together and pursuing our various dreams while coming home at the end of the day to our cozy common living space. We would compare notes on our separate professional escapades while preparing elaborate meals together.

We would hang out in our living room enjoying our collaboratively amassed entertainment equipment. We would play games in our dream rec room together. We would envision the perfect combination family-yet-all-grown-up lifestyles. These fantasies were fueled by Friends and plenty of other TV shows where the buddies all bunk together.

Downtown santa barbara Area Description

Santa Barbara sizzles with a unique mix of big-city cosmopolitanism and smalltown hospitality, and downtown is the epicenter of this culture, where you can eat at a world-class restaurant, walk a few minutes to catch the opera or a rock concert, and see 10 of your best friends along the way. The city offers the widest array of housing options, from mansions on the Upper Eastside to modest single-family homes and affordable condos, all within a 15-minute walk of good food, great entertainment, historic landmarks, and a vast mix of retail shopping options.

Around the Area

When the Spanish colonists arrived to establish the Santa Barbara Mission and Presidio in the late 1700s, they found the Chumash people enjoying one of the West Coast’s most thriving native economies and cultures. Santa Barbara quickly became one of New Spain’s most important cities, and the unique mix of Spanish, Mexican, and Yankee cultures gave rise to the Californio lifestyle. As such, a reverence for a shared history that is unrivaled by other West Coast towns runs through the soul of Santa Barbara, where the traditions and styles of yesteryear are beloved.

The city would have probably become just another Southern California beach town with traditional Craftsman and Victorian architecture were it not for the earthquake of 1925. With much of the town decimated, civic leaders decided to rebuild with a Spanish Colonial theme, giving rise

The bulk of residents live on the grid of streets that make up downtown Santa Barbara, which runs roughly from the Mission down to the waterfront, cradled by the Eastside and Westside neighborhoods, and with the Mesa and Riviera districts rising higher in elevation on the edges. Home to an eclectic array of restaurants and bars, numerous theaters and performing-arts venues of all sizes, and a lively energy usually reserved for cities 10 times the size, downtown Santa

Barbara forms the heart of coastal California culture, a place where cultural sophistication meets small-town life.

Given the iconic setting and history as a gathering place for the Chumash, Spanish, and Yankee settlers, it’s no wonder that Santa Barbara is home to so many annual parties. There’s the vividly colorful Solstice Parade every June; the five dancing, eating, and drinking days and nights of Old Spanish Days Fiesta each August; and a major civic event nearly every month, from the renowned Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February to Earth Day in April to the holiday parades on land and sea in December.

Santa Barbara also boasts the best weather on the planet, never getting much hotter than 85 degrees and never much cooler than 65. Because of that, the city attracts people involved in active, healthy lifestyles, so expect to see countless joggers, bicycle riders, and other outdoor sports enthusiasts throughout the region.

It’s also a hotbed for the farm-to-table movement, and many residents strive to live as sustainable, local, and organic a life as possible, made easy by multiple Farmers Markets weekly. Being surrounded by an amazing wine country and lively agricultural community doesn’t hurt either.

Original Owner: St. Mark’s Episcopal Church

riginally built by renowned architect Peter Barber at the corner of Micheltorena and Anacapa streets, which was far outside of downtown Santa Barbara at the time, this church housed four different congregations in three different locations. First was St. Mark’s, a spin-off of Trinity Episcopal, but then they ran out of money.

So in came the First Baptists until they outgrew the space in 1910, followed by the Seventh-day Adventists, who moved the building to De la Vina and Anapamu.

It survived the quake of 1925, then the Adventists moved it to 2020 Chapala in 1932, taking over a lot that was once part of Flying A Studios. That church remained the owner until 1964, when the Central Church of Christ moved in. Next came a series of secular owners—including current owners Patricia and Richard Levee, who began leasing to McDermott-Crockett Mortuary in 2010.

“With offices located conveniently in the back and the beautiful chapel functioning as the business’s storefront, not a day goes by when we don’t find ourselves overwhelmed by the sheer awesomeness of the chapel’s idiosyncrasies,” says the McDermott-Crockett website. “The regally preserved arches in the main hall frame a breathtaking display of light which pours through the stained-glass windows in the afternoon, filling the entire chapel with a deluge of warm and peaceful rose-colored light. The place truly glows when touched by the sun.”

Prynce Hopkins was born in 1885.

While attending Ojai’s Thacher School, he demonstrated his fascination for the new flying machines by designing a working model for a helicopter. He earned degrees from London University, Yale, and Columbia and spoke five languages.

Hopkins loved to travel, and he became deeply interested in Asia and eastern philosophies. In 1913, he returned to Santa Barbara to open a boy’s school.

Purchasing 13 acres on Mission Ridge, he built a large Swiss chalet, surrounded by vegetable gardens and a working miniature railway with a 200-pound locomotive. Hopkins was one of the earliest practitioners of the Montessori method of education. He felt play was just as important in the learning process as classroom work. Students attended class from 6 to 11 a.m. and spent the rest of the day in various pursuits, usually outdoors. As enrollment grew, Hopkins began to look for a new site to allow for expansion.

In 1915, Hopkins bought 32 acres above Oak Park, where the Samarkand complex is now, and built his new school. Many of the buildings were done in a Persian architectural style. Riding stables, a fully equipped gym, formal gardens—all were built with the idea of the importance of

outdoor activities in mind. The outstanding feature of the grounds was the 1.5-acre artificial lake with a topographic map of the world. The continents had volcanoes that belched smoke and running rivers. Students could climb into a raft or rowboat and sail across the Pacific to San Francisco Bay or sail from New York to the Mediterranean in shipping lanes mapped out with wire. The boys, in effect, took part in a living geography lesson.

Opening in 1917, the innovative school was short-lived. Hopkins was a confirmed pacifist, an unpopular view especially when the U.S. entered in World War I. In April 1918, Hopkins was jailed and fined $20,000 under the Espionage Act for written works that purportedly gave aid to the enemy. One of his books, titled More Prussian Than Prussia, decried the U.S. penchant to enter the war and criticized what he perceived to be an erosion of civil liberty in this country.

Hopkins’s stance spelled the end of Boyland. In 1918, the grounds were used as an emergency hospital during the deadly influenza epidemic. Prynce’s mother shortly thereafter transformed the school into the Samarkand Hotel, thus giving the surrounding neighborhood its name.

Hopkins spent a number of years teaching in Europe and traveling, but he eventually returned to Santa Barbara. He lived in the family home until 1956, when he built a house in the International style at 1920 Garden Street. A founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union and the local United Nations chapter, Hopkins remained active until his death in 1970, celebrating his 85th birthday that year with a trip around the world.

his house at 1900 Garden Street was home for many years to Prynce Hopkins. His father, Charles, had the house built in 1897 as a summer home for the family. Charles was from San Francisco and was a major stockholder in the Singer Sewing Machine Company. Francis Wilson, architect of the city’s train depot, originally designed the house. Mrs. Hopkins had the house redone in the popular Spanish-Colonial style in 1931.

in many of its flowers. It is the bromeliad family, of which the most famous member is the familiar pineapple Ananas comosus. This is not to say that all members of the family have gaudily hued inflorescences. There are groups of gray-leaved species, such as Dyckia that have monochromatic orange (suitable for Halloween) flowers.

The fairly common (often on offer at supermarkets and discount houses) Aechmea fasciata, gets a little more outrageous with a truly astounding flower stalk bristling with spiny bracts the color of strawberry ice cream, this inflorescence will eventually support dozens of tiny tubular flowers. Each flower pushes its way out from among the scurfy bracts, at first a clear red bud that expands and fades to violet That’s just one scenario; black, lapis, verdigris, chromium yellow, and scarlet are just as likely in the fantastic blossoms of other species in this genus. Not only are their flowers composed of a series of colorful structures, but their leaves may vary from the deepest maroon to grass green and Puya alpestris sport stripes and spots of gold or red or purple. The genus Vriesea also employs both mottled and striped leaves as well as some awesome flower spikes.

The bracts carry the show, supporting mostly pale yellow flowers.

Other genera such as the family’s namesake Bromelia have nondescript flowers, but the center of each plant may turn fire-engine red when in bloom.

Popular as potted plants, as well as in the landscape, are colorful members of Neoregelia. Instead of lifting their flowers aloft, these plants form a “tank” around the inflorescence. This tank is designed to catch rainwater and house the tiny blue-violet flowers. The modest flowers are not what draw a crowd of potential pollinators, but with their bases ranging in shades of pale pink through scarlet and purple, the enticement remains.

A third group of bromeliads inhabit some pretty unforgiving country high in the Andes Mountains. These terrestrial species are covered with silvery trichomes that snatch whatever moisture is to be had and reflect the harsh rays of the sun to protect against sunburn and keep the plants cooler. Of these, the genus Puya is the most widely known in horticulture, and there are some stunning examples to grow. Puya alpestris is one such species. It forms a rosette of spiny-edged leaves that can be several feet across, from which a spectacular flower stalk rises. Hundreds of tubular flowers in the wildest iridescent shade of green-blue open a few at a time over a period of weeks. So prolific is the nectar production of these flowers that the sweet stuff literally drips from the plant.

Many bromeliads grow happily in our area either as potted plants or in garden beds. Most nurseries won’t have a big selection, but there are specialty nurseries and mail-order sources available online. The Bromeliad Society International web pages (bsi.org) bsi.org) have lots more information about their natural history and culture, too. bsi.org
