Los Padres Hot Shots, an elite wildland fire crew based out of Los Prietos Ranger Station, are on-site at Rough Fire, which has caused evacuations in Kings and Sequoia national parks. On the fire line since August 27 — not long after an assignment to the Lowell Fire, at which their captain suffered burn injuries — the Hot Shots arrived to 105-degree weather and unpredictable winds, rugged terrain, and skies sometimes too smoky for air support.

But, he added, FlameSncan detect fire, smoke, and excessive heat, and if it does, it snaps a pic (or, at night, a thermal image) and instantly shoots it via text and email to the county’s emergency dispatch center and a handful of fire chiefs. FlameSniffers can also relay weather readings, including wind speed and direction, plus—with GPS-syncing beforehand — pinpoint firefighters on the ground.

Installed in the spring through a coordinated effort between the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, Southern California Edison (which owns the power poles), and FlameSniffer reps (who provided the equipment free of charge), the sensors are the latest in frontline firefighting as Santa Barbara’s drought-parched front country enters peak fire season.

overgrown brush, low-hanging branches, and other fire fuels surrounding structures in the danger zones where civilizations share space with flammable wilderness.

After inspecting some 12,000 parcels countywide, firefighters’ goal each year is to have property owners in compliance with state brush-clearance laws by August. After a few rounds of courtesy reminders early on, delinquent property owners get a final warning before the department comes in with its own manpower and equipment, according to Captain Tim Himmelrich, a county vegetation management coordinator. The bill — not cheap — shows up on an offender’s property tax statement.

This season, full compliance met a few delays in absentee property owners with overgrown vegetation behind locked gates, but all was sorted out just last week. “Last year we had this done earlier,” said Captain Dave Zaniboni, county fire’s public information officer.

Whenever a vegetation fire flares up, it’s critical to jump on it as quickly as possible, said Andrew Madsen, information officer with the Los Padres National Forest, which covers roughly half of Santa Barbara County, about 2,000 square miles. “They will pull resources off an existing fire to get on a new start as soon as possible, especially if it’s threatening structures,” Madsen said.

“Initial attack is also very important to keep overall costs down,” he added. At the peak of the recent Cuesta Fire, which burned 2,446 acres in 12 days and forced evacuations in San Luis Obispo County’s Santa Margarita and Miller Flat, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) had 1,800 personnel assigned to the fire at the cost of $1.7 million per day. cont’d page 10  Mic hae l Dyer /sBcoFD

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

KCOY news anchor Paula Lopez (pictured), 50, was arrested the night of 9/6 for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and assaulting an officer after she drove her silver Toyota Prius the wrong way on Highway 101 near El Capitan Road. She was booked in County Jail, and her bail was set at $5,000. In July 2013, Lopez was arrested for public intoxication. Earlier that year, she went missing in a separate incident and was found after the Sheriff’s Office dispatched a helicopter and two K-9 units in a quickly mobilized search effort. Lopez is married to former Judge Frank Ochoa, who stepped down from the bench in January.

Richard Farr, the son of Santa Barbara County Supervisor Doreen Farr and her former husband, Goleta City Councilmember Jim Farr, was arrested last month on drug and weapons charges during a welfare check at his Shamrock Avenue home. Farr, 30, was found in possession of more than 50 pounds of marijuana, firearms, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, Sheriff’s officials said. Authorities also recovered lab equipment used to make concentrated cannabis. At the time, Farr was living with his father, who soon after suffered a stroke and remains in medical care. Farr pleaded not guilty last week.

The trial is underway for two former Santa Barbara County Jail guards allegedly caught on camera assaulting a handcuffed inmate with kicks and knee strikes.

Christopher Johnson and Robert Kirsch were indicted on federal excessive-force and obstruction-of-justice charges last year shortly after the Sheriff’s Office concluded an internal investigation and fired the two.

The trial began Tuesday in Los Angeles and is expected to conclude Thursday.

Jackson endorses Schneider

$15 an hour?

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson announced her endorsement for City of Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider in her bid to replace nine-term congressmember Lois Capps after she concludes her term next year. Jackson cited Schneider’s “unwavering” support for women’s reproductive choice and women’s equality, recounting in an effusive campaign statement how she and Schneider have stood “shoulder to shoulder” on women’s issues for the past 20 years. For Schneider, a two-term mayor who finds herself running as a “shake up the status quo” outsider, Jackson’s is by far the biggest-name endorsement she has received to date. Schneider was equally effusive in her gratitude, praising Jackson as “our beloved State Senator” and “a fearless leader on behalf of women.”

Although five candidates are currently running for the 24th Congressional District seat now occupied by Capps, the most intense drama has centered on the showdown between Schneider and County 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal, both moderate liberal Democrats. To date, Carbajal has raised far more money than Schneider and has also secured the lion’s share of major political endorsements.

Backing Carbajal is Capps herself, not to mention California Attorney General Kamala Harris, current House minority leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and former Santa Barbara mayors Marty Blum, Hal Conklin, and Sheila Lodge. This week, it was announced that Santa Barbara councilmembers Gregg Hart and Cathy Murillo have endorsed Carbajal, as well.

Jackson’s endorsement, however, helps bolster Schneider’s campaign narrative highlighting her lifelong commitment to feminist values and gender equality, which flagged after she failed to win the endorsement of the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, the organization out of which she emerged politically.

Carbajal — who is highlighting his history as the son of immigrants and migrant workers — failed to win that endorsement, as well. None of the candidates could — Nick Welsh secure the votes needed according to the committee bylaws.

The typical mudslinging and sign stealing that accompanies most Santa Barbara City Council elections reached a new level of intensity this week with council candidate Sharon Byrne and incumbent Councilmember Cathy Murillo trading allegations of assault and theft. Byrne says a Murillo supporter assaulted one of her campaign workers; a police report has been filed. Murillo says Byrne’s campaign workers are stealing her signs all over the city.

Calling for a 10 percent increase to California’s developmental disability services, a large gathering of Santa Barbarans marched from Alameda Park down State Street on 9/3 in a rally hosted by the Alpha Resource Center.

They carried handmade signs reading, “People with Disabilities Matter” and “Services Matter” and chanted slogans imploring Gov. Jerry Brown to honor the 1977 Lanterman Act, which guarantees quality-of-life services to people with developmental disabilities, and to delegate increased funding to those services in the state budget.

COuNTY The California legislature has ratified a gaming compact between the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians and the state. The agreement, which replaces one signed in 1999 and will be in effect for 25 years, allows the tribe to operate 500 more slot machines at no more than two casinos on the reservation as it exists today. “This is a good compact not just for the tribe, but for the entire community,” Chair Vincent Armenta said.

Isla Vistans made noise 9/2 at a County Planning Commission hearing and convinced Santa Barbara officials not to move forward with an update to the Isla Vista Master Plan, in part because parking is too crammed, especially when the surf is up. Citing large apartment complexes and crowded streets, residents gave testimony denouncing a 2013 county study that stated just 78 percent of parking is in use. County officials will host an upcoming meeting to gather community input. The I.V. Master Plan returns to the Planning Commission on 11/4. cont’d page 11 

fter months of preparation and quiet agitation, a number of labor unions and activist organizations associated with the Democratic Party unveiled plans to launch a ballot initiative for the November 2016 election that would increase the minimum wage within the City of Santa Barbara to $15 an hour. Organizers say the wage hike would be phased in over time, though the details remain to be worked out. The current minimum wage is $9 an hour.

The same unions leading the campaign — Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) — are already collecting signatures to qualify an almost identical statewide initiative for the same election.

According to a recent Field Poll of 1,555 registered voters, 68 percent of the respondents either strongly supported or somewhat supported bumping the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

About 150 people showed up to a Labor Day rally held in front of the bandstand at Pershing Park near Santa Barbara’s harbor — selected because of the proximity of so many waterfront hotels and restaurants — to demonstrate support for the initiative. Spearheading the effort are organizers with the group CAUSE (Central Coast United for a Sustainable Economy), politically progressive grassroots organizers with active field operations in Ventura and Santa Maria who often work in conjunction with the Democratic Party.

CAUSE director Maricela Morales said as of 2013, one in four workers in Santa Barbara earned less than $15 an hour. Of the city’s 51,000 employees, CAUSE said 8,000 now make just the minimum-wage. In the meantime, Morales added, real wages have dropped since the Great Recession, while average rent for a two-bedroom apartment jumped from $1,500 a month to $2,400. Morales noted that 92 percent of employees making less than $15 an hour were adults, not teens. Of those, 42 percent are raising children.

Speaking in Spanish, a woman introduced as Angelina told the crowd she worked for a local hotel from 32-40 hours a week earning minimum wage; her husband, she said, worked two minimum-wage jobs, but together they didn’t make enough to afford their own place. As a result, she said, they share an apartment with another family. Reverend Julia Hamilton, representing the Santa Barbara Unitarian Society, said those struggling to make it in Santa Barbara must contend independent.com

with the dueling voices of hope and fear. The proposed wage increase, she said, represented hope.“We’re only talking about the basics,” she added.“We’re not talking about the extras.”

Even conservative economists — hostile to such ballot initiatives — concede that wage increases have been conspicuously absent from the economic recovery both nationwide and in Santa Barbara. That’s been especially true for food workers and those working in the tourist industry. Efforts to increase the minimum wage federally have been effecpau l wellm an

based on their content. The high court found that rules distinguishing between temporary signs and permanent ones, for example, could cross the allowable line. The court found merely categorizing signs differently was problematic, as was regulating signs based on political or ideological speech. In response, the City Council voted to appoint an 11-person committee to evaluate the city’s existing sign ordinance. Less clear is what happens in the meantime regarding enforcement of the current sign ordinance.

tively stymied, as have various statewide campaigns. In response, SEIU has pushed aggressively in city-by-city efforts. New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles have all enacted pay increases. Many smaller cities have done the same.

CAUSE organizer Lucas Zucker argued the initiative would put $63 million into the pockets of people who would spend it locally, which would prove beneficial to the local economy.“We hear a lot about job losses and economic collapse, but economic studies don’t bear that out,” he said. Ken Oplinger, head of the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce, acknowledged such studies existed, but wondered whether employers would trim their workforces in response. He added, “It certainly hasn’t escaped the notice of the business community that this announcement comes one month before City Council ballots are in the mail. I would be shocked if this doesn’t become the number one issue in the campaign, which would benefit the proponents and certain council candidates.”

Attending the rally were city councilmembers Cathy Murillo — now running for reelection — and Gregg Hart. Not present were Mayor Helene Schneider or 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal — now running against each other for Congress. Both were campaigning in San Luis Obispo at the time, but both have endorsed the minimum-wage increase. Zucker said the signature gathering n would begin in earnest early next year.

BIG GUNS: Fire retardant drops from air tankers are the first line of attack in Santa Barbara County.

Often, first attacks in Santa Barbara originate from the Forest Service’s air tanker base at Santa Maria Airport.

The base, which leases space from Central Coast Jet Center, is equipped with three fire-retardant filling stations, or “pits,” where 50,000 gallons of retardant — sometime described as pink snot — is ready to pump; plus there’s enough dry mix on hand to whip up another 98,000 gallons if need be. Turnaround time for refueling and topping off retardant runs 12-20 minutes, depending on the size of the plane.

Madsen explained that tankers are like flying gypsies, moving around the state to wherever they’re needed but always ready to change course to a new destination. And because the planes’ constant whereabouts and readiness is available via real-time networks, “we can see planes here [in Santa Barbara] in 35-40 minutes,” he said, regardless of the intensity of firefighting going on elsewhere.

This time of year, that’s more common than not. For example, the Rough Fire,

started on July 31 by a lightning strike, has burned more than 100,000 acres in Fresno County and, even with nearly 2,000 firefighters in action, remains only 31 percent contained.

“Historically, the Los Padres experiences wildfires at any time of the year,” Madsen added. “However, we regard September and October as being our two prime months for fire starts.”

“For the last couple years, we’ve been calling it fire season all year round,” said the county’s Capt. Himmelrich. “It just varies between low fire season and high fire season.” n

evangelical rock Star arrives

Bishop Robert Barron, described in media accounts as an “evangelical rock star,” was ordained as the new auxiliary bishop for Santa Barbara at a service presided over by Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez this Tuesday, replacing longtime Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Curry. Barron was ordained at the Los Angeles Cathedral with two other auxiliary bishops for the Los Angeles archdiocese in a ceremony cocelebrated by 500 priests.

Barron — who was named a new bishop by Pope Francis on July 21 — was ordained as a priest in 1986, served as a pastor for a parish outside of Chicago, and functioned as a visiting professor at a Catholic seminary and at Notre Dame. Mostly, he’s known for his energetic use of social media as a tool for evangelizing, producing regular commentaries and documentaries for YouTube via his WordOnFire.org website. According to press reports, Barron claims more followers than any other Catholic leader except Pope Francis.

Curry, whom Barron replaces, has served the archdiocese since 1992, but his tenure was marred by accusations by law enforcement that he thwarted investigations into three allegations of sexual misconduct by priests. Curry, though never criminally prosecuted, has been named in litigation and apologized for his actions, “which in hindsight, appear to be inadequate or mistaken.” When Los Angeles diocese’s cardinal Roger Mahony was replaced in the scandal, Gomez took the unusual step of barring him from presiding over confirmations, among other things. Groups and attorneys who track Catholic priests for their role in such scandals say they — Nick Welsh know nothing about Barron. independent.com

OPEN WIDE: An inmate receives dental work at the County Jail.

Jail care on life Support?

Health Provider Faces Criticism

T

by K e l S e y b r u g g e r

he difficult issue of medical services in County Jail moved forward Tuesday when the Santa Barbara supervisors decided to extend the Sheriff’s Office contract with Corizon Health, Inc. for a year and a half —but not before spanking Sheriff and Corizon representatives alike for about three hours.

Amid contention near and far about health care in county jails and pushed by activists fighting to keep the mentally ill out of custody, the supervisors decided in June to think twice about renewing a two-year, $10 million contract with Corizon, one of the country’s biggest correctional healthcare providers that has contracted with Santa Barbara County for 20 years.

In June, the supes deemed the one-page agreement summary given to them inadequate, and they gave Sheriff’s personnel two months to provide evidence of Corizon’s performance; they asked for metrics about the screening process, the time it takes for inmates to receive psychiatric drugs, and details on complaint procedures, among other statistics. That frustration swelled two weeks ago when a bureaucratic mishap caused hundreds of pages of information —filling three fat binders—to go directly to the supervisors rather than to the ClerkRecorder’s Office, where it would have been entered into the public record, and stalled the matter until Tuesday.

In his presentation, Undersheriff Barney Melekian, standing in for Sheriff Bill Brown, urged the supervisors to renew the contract for two years — rather than one — so the department could identify and establish benchmarks for best practices during the first year. In preparing for Tuesday’s hearing, Melekian said, he found no clear standards exist nationally. After a study, Melekian went on, the department could go out to bid in 2017 and use the study as the foundation for the competing bids.

But most of the supervisors flatly rejected 12

that logic and decided to take a middle-ofthe-road approach, extending the contract for 18 months, setting up a grievance coordinator to report regularly to the board and looking at other providers. The County Jail has seen its inmate population creep up — it was at 964 inmates on Tuesday—to levels that existed before the passage last year of Proposition 47, which reduced some theft and drug offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. In the past, it has risen to more than 1,110 people.

The undercurrent of the bitterness between the supervisors and the Sheriff’s Office has been serious confusion about the new North County Jail slated to open in 2018. In recent months, all five supervisors threw sticks at Sheriff Bill Brown for being elusive about the operating cost required for the $120 million project, which will hold 376 beds as well as a 228-bed STAR (Sheriff’s Transition and Reentry) complex.

On Tuesday, Melekian — who has impressed friends and foes of the Sheriff’s Office since he came on as Brown’s number two in January— January made a brief reference to the North County Jail when he described challenges the department faces in the current jail, which was built in 1971, added onto in 1987, and holds wings that look as if they could exist on Alcatraz Island. “I was trying to stay away from that,” he said, “but we do need a new jail.”

At a tour of the jail last week, Commander James Meter, who has worked in the jail for 25 years, told me he refers to the facility as the Winchester Mystery House, an architecturally haphazard mansion in Northern California. Custody staff are now in the process of creating a new exam room out of what is currently a broom closet.

Separate from the strains between supervisors and sheriff, a number of long-term mental-health advocates — with Families ACT! and CLUE (Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice) — have flooded the board with horror stories about friends and family who they claim suffered in jail.

ON DEFENSE: Corizon executives Dr. Harold Orr (left) and Michael Miller

Melekian acknowledged criticisms surrounding treatment of inmates, adding perception always trumps data. “I could stand up here and show numbers and charts and all of those things, and at the end of the day if someone’s loved one is in custody and there is a perception they are not receiving the health care to which they are entitled,” he said,“that is a problem.”

Melekian said there were 555 medical grievances from 2013-2015. Of those, he said, 58 percent of services were actually already in place but for some reason had not connected with the inmate. And for a quarter of the grievances, Melekian went on, steps were taken immediately to resolve the problem. A grievance is a formal process, whereas a “kite” is an informal request.

Melekian did not know the number of kites that turned into grievances, but he said staff acts on all of them.“They do not vanish into the ether,” he said.

In initial deliberations, Supervisor Salud Carbajal said he found it “a little bewildering” the Sheriff’s Office did not know how Corizon’s services stacked up against other counties in California. What’s more, Carbajal went on, Corizon executives at the hearing could not say what percentage of county jails in the state had been accredited by either the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) or the state’s IMQ (Institute for Medical Quality).

In fact, the County Jail was IMQ certified until 2007, though no one from the department could answer why the decision was made not to continue that accreditation process. In 2014, the department started discussions about the NCCHC accreditation—said to be a more stringent process in some aspects than IMQ — but the application was never completed.“We’re just not there,” Melekian said, noting many facilities are not accredited, because it is a significant and costly staff undertaking. “It’s not a failure that we don’t have it. It is a worthwhile goal to get to.”

Currently, custody officials and Corizon staff meet to discuss shortcomings. For instance, so far this year, 90 percent of all inmates were fully evaluated (beyond an initial screening) within 14 days, which is considered the industry standard. Ninetyfive percent is the goal. Last year, 88 percent were seen in two weeks, and in 2013, 93 percent were.

About a dozen commenters, most with Families ACT! or CLUE, were not satis-

fied with the presentation that eventually included a number of Sheriff’s personnel and Corizon execs. They urged the board to extend the contract one year, calling it the better of two evils. One public commenter, who said she had only been arrested for drinking in public, said she was left in a small compartment soiled with feces and blood for 24 hours after being tackled by two female cops. “When I am not on meds, I feel like I am being tortured,” she said.

The jail has four safety cells, commonly called “rubber rooms,” for inmates who are believed to be suicidal.

James Robertson, who volunteers in the jail, said he had the utmost respect for the employees working in the jail, but he did not believe inmates were receiving adequate health care. One issue, he said, is people are not receiving their meds.

When inmates who are on medication are booked in jail, according to Corizon exec Harold Orr, their doctor is contacted. Orr said an on-call psychiatrist is also available, and PharmaCorr—the pharmacy owned

by Corizon that took over distributing prescriptions last year— year can provide the meds as soon as the next business day. ADMHS (Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services) director Alice Gleghorn, who was called to the podium to weigh in, said the discontinuation of particular medications is a concern to her, and she is working with the Sheriff’s Office to ensure there is no disruption of service. “Some meds are not covered under the jail formulary,” she said, adding there are reasons based on the incarceration setting.

Supervisor Peter Adam, who hammered the speakers about the accreditation issue, said he did not have the psychiatric expertise to second-guess Corizon staff. But Supervisor Janet Wolf, who voted against the Corizon contract in 2006 and submitted several detailed questions to the Sheriff’s Office, said she heard from ill inmates who have not received their psychiatric meds for the last two weeks. “Somewhere it just feels like the ball is being dropped,” she said.

Currently, there are ombudsmen working sporadically in the jail to handle complaints, but Melekian said custody officials were not receiving any information from them. “We are hearing [from them],” Carbajal said.“Maybe you are not.”

The supervisors will discuss the cost of the grievance coordinator at a future date; Corizon and the Sheriff ’s department agreed to split the bill. n

Diary of a Teenage Dog

IT’S COMPLICATED: I opened my mailbox

last week to discover a political mail bomb ticking away. It wanted to blow up Das Williams, our state assemblymember. The timing seemed premature. Williams won’t be on the ballot again until next November. The brochure—printed on expensive, glossy card stock paper—came courtesy of a group new to me, the California Driver’s Alliance. It featured a color photo of the aforementioned Williams, slumping off to the side and looking blithely unconcerned beneath a headline blaring, “His vote hurts many … and helps one.” All this was superimposed over a hazy black-and-white, shot-from-behind photo showing a heroically beleaguered soccer mom and four kids pushing their minivan down the road. Williams, the Driver’s Alliance explained, supports a bill that gives unnamed members of an obscure state agency powers to “levy surcharges” on minivans like the one pictured, thus harming “families with small children.” But that was nothing; the Driver’s Alliance charged Williams was also out to get farmers, workers, working families, air travelers, and commuters by supporting a bill that would increase the price of gas. In fact, it would mandate nothing less than gas rationing by the State of California. The only group Williams is, in fact, positively looking out for, the Alliance charged, are “wealthy Tesla owners.”

The Driver’s Alliance, I quickly discovered, was a front group concocted by the West-

ern States Petroleum Association (WSPA).

That’s pronounced “Wis-pa.” And when you have as much money and as many lobbyists as WSPA does, that’s as loud as you ever have to speak. The oil industry has been doing a whole lot of heavy “wispa-ing” in Sacramento the past couple of months, trying to put the terminal kibosh on SB 350, a landmark environmental bill written by State Senator Kevin de León that would mandate California cut gas consumption by 50 percent, increase the amount of electricity provided by renewable energy sources to 50 percent, and increase the energy efficiency standards of new buildings to 50 percent. Conspicuously missing from the bill—despite multiple assertions to the contrary by the oil industry—is any language having to do with gas rationing. Or minivan surcharges. Mostly, it’s a road map with a lot of urgent lofty goals. How those goals get met is left to the divine genius of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to suss out. For those leery of CARB, that’s a huge problem.

To call this bill “the whole ball of wax” and “all the marbles” would be a vast understatement. It’s the unified field theory of environmental grooviness. It’s the 800-pound gorilla and the elephant under every rug. Backing the bill to the hilt are Governor Jerry Brown, de León, the Pope, all the bishops not under indictment for sexual abuse, and actress Halle Berry. And Williams, course. On the other side is the oil industry. The oil industry doesn’t need friends or allies. If Brown,

famous for almost becoming a priest, manages to get God on his side, SB 350 might have a chance.

Failing that, Brown needs to persuade a significant number of moderate, businessminded Democrats — known in the parlance of Sacramento as “Mods”—to sign on.

Many represent districts less affluent than Santa Barbara and worry SB 350 might push energy prices higher than their constituents can handle. Either that or they’re on the oil industry payroll. Or maybe both.

To convince the “Mods” to vote for SB 350, Brown, de León, and Williams— de Leon’s “floor jockey” in the Assembly—were willing to go to such lengths that local environmentalists with the Community Environmental Council (CEC) had sent out action alerts late last week expressing their opposition.

They felt Williams had tossed them and the highly wonkified eco agenda they care most about under the oncoming wheels of political expediency. Ultimately, both sides managed to work things out, and CEC—focused almost exclusively on climate change and greenhouse-gas emissions for the past 10 years—is now back on board with SB 350.

That there was such suspense is, as they say, noteworthy.

For CEC, the Holy Grail has long been clean energy production and more specifically something called “Community Choice.”

Translated, this means cities and counties are freed from the monopolistic straitjacket imposed by mega utilities like PG&E and SoCal Edison and are allowed to buy and

sell much greener and cheaper electricity on their own to their residents than utility companies either can or will on their own.

Only three places now do it, and their track record is mixed. One relies way too much on renewable energy that exists only on paper.

Another delivers the goods, providing significantly greener and cheaper juice to its customers. Either way, it’s a radical change, and the utilities hate it. It threatens the long-term reliability of their revenue streams. Last year, Williams supported a bill — backed by the union representing utility company workers — that would all but kill Community Choice.

CEC freaked out. The bill would never make it to the governor’s desk, and Williams would mend fences with CEC by actively lobbying City Hall and the county supervisors to spend half a million on a feasibility study needed for the South Coast to pursue a Community Choice option. But to win “Mod” support during the showdown over SB 350, Senator de León proposed amendments that would make Community Choice significantly more expensive and more cumbersome for local governments to pursue. It would be Williams who introduced that language in the Assembly. CEC freaked. So did others of their ilk.

“Come to Jesus” talks ensued through tightly clenched teeth. The offending amendments got softened. Community Choice is still going under the bus, but at least helmets will be provided. Whether that’s enough to get any “Mods” on board for SB 350 remains to be seen. But for the time being, that’s how sausage gets made in Sacramento. Or not.

care and compassion.

She will be deeply missed by her family, all of her friends and students around the world and by her beloved dog, Renard. She is survived by her mother, Dorothy W. Angwin (Jeffrey), sister Wendy, and brothers Bill (Ruth), Tony and Brooks, and niece and nephew, Guinevere and Ben. A private service will be held at a later date.

Frank Dorenkamp Susan Elizabeth Allen died on Sept. 7, 2015, at Evergreen Hospice Center in Kirkland, WA, of cancer. Susie was born on May 10, 1951, in Monrovia, CA, to George H. and Dorothy (Wheeler) Allen.

The family moved to Santa Barbara in 1952, where Susie attended Montecito Union, Santa Barbara Jr. High, Santa Barbara High and Laguna Blanca School.

She found her life’s passion at the age of 12 when she discovered the harp and spent the rest of her life as an artist, composer, teacher and author. Susie studied and performed locally at The Music Academy of the West and with the Santa Barbara Youth Theater.

After high school, Susie attended the New England Conservatory of Music and California Institute of the Arts, where she receieved a BFA in music performance in 1973.

Susie spent her career championing new and contemporary music for the harp, with countless performances, master classes and seminars around the world. She has given solo concerts at Carnegie Recital Hall, Lincoln Center for the Arts and the Smithsonian Institute, and appeared, recorded and toured with artists such as Philip Glass, Pierre Boulez, John Cage, L. Subramanium, and Roman Stoyler.

Her most recent solo album was released last April, titled “Postcard from Heaven.” In 1983, she returned to California Institute of the Arts as a faculty member, and served for a number of years as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs until her retirement earlier this year.

As a child, a psychologist once said Susie was perfectly normal, but had a rather “bizarre” sense of humor—bizzare, maybe, but definitely dry and witty, and even to the end of her life always ready with a zing or two for whoever happened to be around.

Shortly before she died, Susie moved to the Seattle, WA area to be closer to her family. The family wishes to thank the staff at Evergreen Hospice Center of Kirkland, WA, for their excellent

And yet despite his mischief, Graham was a deeply thoughtful and observant person. He could sense the sadness of a friend or the neglect of a flower and did whatever was possible to cheer the environment around him.

On Sunday, September 6th, Graham died in his home in Santa Barbara. He was 35 years old.

His parents John and Pamela Bury and sister Nicole would like to thank his many friends who gathered ’round him for his last few days with songs and stories and love, friends from childhood at Waldorf school, from San Marcos High School, Brooks Institute of Photography and beyond, and especially his beloved friends from the “Joy Luck Club”—young adult cancer survivors who know how to enjoy life and feel lucky to be alive.

Graham Bury

Jose Angel Medina “Pepe,” 52, passed away on Thursday, August 27, 2015, at the Serenity House in Santa Barbara, California, after a long battle with cancer. Joe was a Santa Barbara native and was born on December 26, 1962. He attended Franklin Elementary School, Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High School.

Joe worked in construction all his life and was known for his talented work in his trade. He was a multi-talented artist and was known for his beautiful artwork, which was his passion throughout his life. In the end he left his drawings, rock sculptures, and wood carvings to his family and friends, which will be treasured forever. His other interest was photography; one of the things he liked to do was to go to the Dons football, soccer and basketball games and take pictures of the games, family and friends. His other joys in life were camping, fishing and having barbecues with family and friends. Joe had a great sense

Graham Bury was an enchanter of animals, classical guitarist, novice sailor, expert watercolorist, and traveler. He raised orchids in a hand-built greenhouse and took aerial photos of agricultural fields while hanging out of a prop plane. Graham was an adventurer both in life and in mind. He spent a lot of time thinking about the cosmos and researching the odd shapes of sand grains under a microscope. He paid homage to those adventurers who came before him, writing once about a man who risked his life in the Amazon rainforest to discover a small blue orchid, Aganisia cyanea, named after the lover of the god Apollo. These were his heroes—what made him an autodidact and inventor of

In Memoriam

Karen sinsheimer 1942-2015

M

Influential Photography Curator

bara but also throughout California and beyond, will sorely miss Karen Sinsheimer, who died on July 28 of pancreatic cancer at age 73. As a result of her 25-year tenure as curator of photography at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the public enjoys a legacy that’s grounded in the thousands of exemplary artworks she collected there, yet transcends these images to embrace culture and humanity in the broadest sense.

With more than 120 exhibitions to her credit, including milestone explorations of California photographers, 19th-century travel photography, Hollywood studio portraiture, the intersection of photography and science, the photography of the civil rights era, and the emerging photographic traditions of such Pacific Rim countries as Japan, China, and South Korea, Sinsheimer consistently extended the boundaries of the curator’s art in ways that were prescient, imaginative, and socially conscious. Her acumen in discerning and cultivating new talent was legendary, as demonstrated by her early championing of such major figures as John Divola.

The roots of these achievements go deep and extend in multiple directions; every aspect of Sinsheimer’s extraordinary life led to the high degree of expertise she demonstrated in her profession. Born Karen Beatrice Keeton in Denver on April 23, 1942, she graduated from the University of Redlands with a BA in art history. After serving in the Peace Corps in Thailand, she met and married her first husband, the photographer William Current. Together they settled in Pasadena, where they collaborated on several books of photography. As an employee of Caltech, Karen rose to become the executive secretary of the school’s president, Harold Brown. This coincided with some of the most consequential years in the history of that institution and of science in America. By the time Brown left to become secretary of defense, she was separated from her husband and looking for a change.

That change came rapidly and in two parts. First, she left Caltech for another executive secretary position, this time at 20th Century Fox, where she worked for the chairman of the board Dennis Stanfill. At the same time, she began seeing Robert Sinsheimer, a talented scientist she had known at Caltech, where he was chair of the department of biology. Sinsheimer had recently accepted a new position of his own and was facing some monumental challenges as the new chancellor at UC Santa Cruz. The two endured a longdistance relationship for four years, until 1981, when they were married.

What looked at first like withdrawal from the active life of her busy Hollywood routine developed quickly into a full-time role that called upon every one of Karen Sinsheimer’s considerable repertoire of skills and interests. Her early writings on Pasadena architects Greene and Greene led to an invitation to join the board of the Santa Cruz Historical Society, and her contact with the community began to flourish.

Faced with all the formal expectations placed on the chancellor’s spouse, she turned obligations into opportunities. The stress of living in a house that was open to official visitors on a daily basis became, through hard work and imagination, the joy of bringing an entire academic community to a deeper knowledge and appreciation of itself. The conversations at her dinner parties, which famously blended interesting people from the community with scholars and stu-

IN ACTION: As a curator, Karen Sinsheimer took a hands-on approach, always wanting to meet, know, and work with photographers, from Santa Barbara to Seoul.

dents, and the excitement of her legendary Halloween teas contributed not a little to securing a solid future for what was at the time a somewhat precariously situated institution.

All this would have been enough responsibility for an ordinary person, but for Karen Sinsheimer, it was just the start. When Professor Audrey Stanley of the UCSC theater department approached her about the university’s Shakespeare festival, Karen helped get it off the ground by raising money and its profile through her constant support. In a period when science was king of the UC system, she found a way to fund and perpetuate what has become one of the coast’s best theater festivals.

The list of Karen’s accomplishments as the spouse of the chancellor could go on, as she was successful in virtually everything she undertook in that role, up to and including securing an official title — associate of the chancellor — and health and retirement benefits for the spouses of all UC chancellors, an acknowledgment that went some way toward addressing the gender imbalances everywhere in evidence at the time.

When the Santa Barbara Museum of Art was looking for someone to organize an exhibition of California photography for its 50th anniversary in 1990, Therese Heyman, the founding curator of photography at the Oakland Museum, recommended they bring in Sinsheimer as a consultant. Many Santa Barbarans still remember the impact of that show, and none of us who knew the woman who curated it will forget her style, her intellect, or her supreme generosity of spirit.

If you would like to make a donation in Karen’s memory, please consider the Karen Sinsheimer Memorial Photography Acquisition Fund or the Lorna Spencer Hedges Annual Photography Lecture at SBMA or Santa Cruz Shakespeare at UC Santa Cruz. n

Historic Breakthrough or Blunder?

T

he Iran deal is touted by supporters as a success for delaying, by a few years, the time needed for a hostile country to achieve the industrial-scale facilities required to produce nuclear weapons plus delivery capabilities via ICBM. In the broader picture, this agreement puts an end to the nonproliferation regime painstakingly built over decades by the UN Security Council, the U.S., and allies by legitimizing uranium enrichment and plutonium-producing heavy water reactors for any country able to develop or purchase the technology.

If approved, we can expect to see more nations clamor to build up their own enrichment facilities and reactors, particularly in the volatile Middle East but elsewhere, too. How can we deny them what has been conceded to Iran? Can we impose the same intrusive regime that is, absurdly, claimed by Obama and Kerry to guarantee Iran will not break out to a bomb? Will we have sufficient intel to make sure not one is extracting plutonium from reactor rods on the sly?

It is ironic that President Obama once expressed a dream to rid the world of nuclear weapons. In fact, his policies will usher in an age of unchecked proliferation.

God help our children.

—Dan Some, S.B.

•••

hank you to Sen. Feinstein and Boxer and Rep. Capps for coming out early in supporting the Iran deal.

After more than 13 years at war, I’m glad that Congress is turning toward diplomacy and peace. The Iran deal looks like it will move forward through Congress, and I support all 41-plus senators who have spoken out in favor of the deal.

The Iran deal dramatically shrinks Iran’s nuclear program, gives international inspectors unprecedented access, and could open diplomatic channels for the U.S. and others to finally end enduring conflicts in the region.

Now is the time for peace. Now is the time for diplomacy. Now is the time for Congress to support the Iran deal.

What is a root canal?

A root canal is treating a tooth that has become infected or has died due to a cavity, crack or trauma.

It is a reasonable option to save a tooth that would otherwise have to be removed.

Root canals involve the process of removing the nerve tissue inside the root of the tooth and thoroughly cleaning and shaping the canals. The canals are usually accessed by making a small hole through the top of the tooth. The canals are then filled and sealed to try to prevent re-infection.

The roots of the tooth remain and since root canal treated teeth are more brittle and prone to fracture, a crown is often placed on top to avoid further injury.

While root canals have a horrible reputation, the procedure should be comfortable from your standpoint and not feel much different than having a routine filling done.

Many dentists perform root canals in their office or they may choose to refer you to a root canal specialist, or an endodontist.

New Synagogue on Upper State

Text and photo by Caitlin Fitch This weekend, a new synagogue opened inside Grace Lutheran Church at 3869 State Street, and the new community welcomed their Torah into the space with a ceremony. The procession, which started at the nearby Macy’s, was led

by Rabbi Eliyahu Gevirtz, who walked under a wedding chuppah to bring the Torah into the new temple for the first time. This Torah, which was handwritten in Russia 70-90 years ago, is the centerpiece of Zimrat Yah, a shul that will focus on music and singing from the Sephardic tradition of Judaism. “What I find is that singing is one of the main ways into the experience of the divine,” said Gevirtz, who cofounded the synagogue. “To me this particular type of music feels like it is our indigenous music and is really moving to me and to others.” Zimrat Yah, which will remain inside Grace Lutheran Church for as long as the building stands, will begin with high holiday celebrations of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in the coming weeks and then offer regular Friday and Saturday services starting in October. See zimratyah.org.

Education

The Workout of

David Sobel

Becoming a Parent

on Nature’s Place in Learning

I

courtesy

n our techno age, where most kids’ noses are pointing at digital screens, David Sobel is loudly preaching the gospel of going outside, arguing that the exploration of nature should be a critical component of education. He brings that message to town on Saturday, September 19, when he’ll discuss Why Young Children Need Nature as part of In Bloom in Santa Barbara, a 9 a.m.-4 p.m. program at the Open Alternative School about nature-based education put on by Antioch University, the Academy of Forest Kindergarten Teachers, and the Wilderness Youth Project.

Registration is $75; email msmeltz@antioch.edu or call (603) 283-2301.

Sobel answered a few of my questions via, ahem, email.

Why integrate nature into learning? Children’s lives are becoming too digitalized and indoor-ified.

Elementary-aged children spend eight hours a day interacting with screens and a half-hour per day outside. Nature-based education is more physically active, so it’s healthier for children. And nature-based education is more concrete and compelling for children, so it makes them more engaged, motivated, and therefore successful.

FAMILY FITNESS: Mom and baby both dig the view when Indy editor Amy Smith takes Marie along for a hike.

Are schools accepting of your suggestions? There’s a bur-

geoning Green Schools movement that embraces much of this approach. New nature preschools and forest kindergartens are cropping up each week. Many schools embrace a place-based education commitment. So yes, many schools are accepting of this.

There’s a sense that our kids are already too far down the road of digital living. Can we fix that? Yes. As Tom Robbins

said, “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.”

How does Santa Barbara measure up in teaching kids about the outdoors? There was unusual

enthusiasm demonstrated by the audience who came to my talk in April. I talked to at least two principals implementing innovative place-based education in their schools, and both Antioch Santa Barbara and UCSB have faculty committed to this kind of education. There’s an unusual number of nonprofits, including the Wilderness Youth Project, the Museum of Natural History, and Wild Roots Forest School, committed to nature-based education. Santa Barbara is fertile ground for creating a healthy, nature-based education community.

E

xpecting? Buy a Bed Buddy. It’s one of those long, narrow sacks filled with rice that you heat up in the microwave and apply to sore muscles and minor injuries for pain relief. I already had one from my running days, but it sure comes in handy now that my life is one big weight-training session!

For some reason, in all the excitement of pregnancy, chatting with family and friends who love to share the touching, scary, gross, painful, and surprising realities of having a baby, no one ever mentions how very physically demanding it is — after the baby comes. Magazines and websites like Parents and babycenter.com love to perpetuate the, in my opinion, myth that it will be difficult to return to your prepregnancy weight, to feel in shape again and to achieve that (to me, icky) cultural obsession of fitting back into your skinny jeans. I say you’d have to really try to keep the weight on! From the minute your baby comes, you will find yourself constantly carrying, cuddling, rocking, dancing, feeding, and entertaining your little one in one never-ending, musclebuilding workout routine.

First, it’s little things like maintaining a comfortable breast-feeding hold that challenge your arms and back. And it’s things like standing up and being awake so much that your core can’t wait for the sweet relief of just lying flat for one moment. Next, it’s dancing, rocking, swaying— while singing— swaying singing to comfort your little bundle to the point of sleep. With very little muscle tone, the baby relies on you for stability and security at every second. Even when you skip forward to a more stable age, babies still love to be held as they surpass 20 pounds.

Try leaning down to pick up a toy (or phone or keys or …) while holding a squirming bowling ball, or holding an 18-pounder in one arm and grocery bag in the other, with a fully stocked diaper bag on your back— back be sure to have a nice full, heavy water bottle, too. Try leaning over to change a diaper while a little person kicks her legs excitedly and attempts to roll away with a giggle, some 20 times a day.

As I sit here applying heat to my knee — I carried my 11-month-old for an hour-long hike yesterday in a front-pack— front-pack I’m grateful for the physical challenge that my babe has provided me, along with all the other great rewards, of course. And I’m also thankful for my Bed Buddy.

Love Makes You Fat.

“

Here’s Proof.

L

ove makes you fat,” my adage-spouting grandmother

always said. Now science proves it.

European researchers discovered earlier this year what anyone with eyeballs and a few married friends could have easily told them: that couples are generally heavier than single people.

It’s been proved before — by a study in 2013 that showed the happier people were in their marriages, the more weight they gained. And by yet another one the year before that.

(Okay, lightweight social scientists, time to find a new subject. Might I suggest 7 Ways That Listicles Are Making Us Stupid or Why Are We Still Talking About Donald Trump?)

So what’s the reason for this now officially undeniable link between mass and matrimony? There’s the obvious answer, of course: that once you’ve found a partner, you stop working so hard on your appearance.

You skip a spinning class here and there, stop spending mornings wrestling with your straightening iron and — oh, what the hell — buy your first-ever pair of elastic-waist pants.

The most recent study, published in Social Science & Medicine magazine, calls this the “marriage market hypothesis,” i.e. we make more of an effort when we’re “on the market” than when we’re “off.” Supporting that notion is this fascinating fact: In countries with a high divorce rate, couples are slimmer than in countries with a low divorce rate; in other words, married people work harder at maintaining their weight when they think there’s a chance they may eventually be single again.

But call me a romantic; I have to believe there’s more to this phenomenon than the cynical “I bought the cow; now gimme my free milkshake” explaby Starshine nation. In my experience, falling in love pries your senses wide open, and it’s just a damned pleasure to, er, fill them with delightful new indulgences. Sure, dirty email: starshine@roshell.com Berties, sometimes that comes in the form of wild monkey sex. And sometimes it comes in the form of poking warm brownies into one another’s pie holes out of the pan and washing them down with red wine while curled up on the couch watching Bloodline in your criminally soft, indisputably ugly jammies.

Or so I’ve heard.

I asked my friends why they think we put on heft when we get hitched.

One said it was a strategy for fighting off other would-be suitors.

“Once you find the love of your life, you have to fatten them up to keep the competition away. … It’s more fun than peeing on them to mark them as yours.”

Another swore it was the pressure of marital mealtime. “When you’re single, a bowl of Cap’n Crunch and six olives is a perfectly acceptable dinner. When you’re married, there must be a protein, a starch, a vegetable, and a friggin’ roll on the side. Why? Because marriage.”

Everyone knows the way to a partner’s heart is through his or her flapping jaws.

“Food is love,” confirms a married friend of mine — a nutritionist, actually, who sees it this way: I made you this great meal. (Translation: I love you.)

I made you this great meal. (Translation: I’m sorry you had a bad day.)

I made you this great meal. (Translation: I’m trying to be a supportive spouse.)

“Let’s face it,” she says. “Doing the laundry isn’t a delicious way to say those things.”

But if you’ve put on pounds since you put on your wedding ring, don’t worry. Long as we’re studying studies, it’s worth noting that happily married folks — while potentially plumper — are likely to live longer than singles.

Married for over 50 years, having just turned 90 and still erupting in axioms at every turn, my grandmother would have to agree with that. Turns out that fat or otherwise, love makes you live.

Barbara Nwaba’s Heptathlon Hurdles Determination Powers UCSB Grad; Plus Pier to Peak, Water Polo, and More

by John Zant

John Zant’s

Theisen-Eaton, Ashton’s Canadian

michael stout

A

fighter can get knocked down twice in the first round and still come back to win the bout.

But for Barbara Nwaba of the Santa Barbara Track Club, the two-day heptathlon at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing began with a knockout blow. In the 100-meter hurdles race, she lost her rhythm in the run-up to the first hurdle, crashed into the second hurdle and fell, regained her feet, but fell again over the fifth hurdle. She did not receive a score, leaving her an insurmountable 1,000 points behind the world’s best all-around women in track and field.

“It was not a good moment for me,” Nwaba said. “My family and friends were there. I was disappointed in myself.”

There may not have seemed much point in continuing, but that thought never entered Nwaba’s mind. “I didn’t come all that way to do one event and quit,” she said. “My mother said, ‘At least you’re not injured.’ I came out of it without a scratch.” Barbara made the most of her situation, competing strongly in the remaining six events, even outscoring another finisher and placing 27th out of 28.

“I had two PRs [personal records: 48´½˝ in the shot put and 152´10˝ in the javelin],” the former UCSB athlete said.

“I was happy. It was an awesome season. My main goal was to get to the Worlds.”

Nwaba started the year by winning the Sam Adams heptathlon at Westmont College; she set a new PR of 6,342 points while finishing 11th against an international field in Götzis, Austria; and she earned her trip to Beijing by winning the U.S. championship in Eugene, Oregon, with a milestone score of 6,500 points.

Three-and-6/7s out of four wasn’t bad.

Nwaba can use her experience to drive her to her ultimate goal, the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

She confessed to being a bit overwhelmed in the Bird’s Nest (Beijing’s Olympic stadium). “I was super nervous,” she said. “People looked around and said, ‘Wow, this is big.’ I was not comfortable [at the start of the hurdles]. After that, I settled down and did my own thing.”

The World Championships were a great meet for other multi-event athletes who did their spring training at the Westmont track this year. Ashton Eaton improved his world record in the decathlon to 9,045 points. It was a noteworthy accomplishment that deserved more media attention than it received. The Oregon Elite athlete had set his previous record of 9,039 in comfortable surroundings at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. Eaton ran the 400 meters in a sensational 45.0 seconds. Taking the silver medal with a score of 8,695 was Canada’s Damian Warner. He was another member of the Westmont troupe, as was Brianne

wife, who also brought home a silver medal, scoring 6,554 points in the heptathlon. Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill of Great Britain won the seven-eventer with a score of 6,669.

PEAK EXPERIENCE: There is perhaps

no other athletic event in the area that ends in a more joyfully shared sense of accomplishment than the Pier to Peak Half Marathon. It’s hard on the body (“Pier to Puke” is an alternate moniker) but elevating to the soul.

The 308 men and women who completed the run last Sunday relished the view from the summit of La Cumbre Peak. They could see the entire South Coast, including — almost 4,000 feet below and 13.1 miles distant (by winding road) — Stearns Wharf, from where they started their uphill trek.

Matt Dubberley, a 34-year-old Santa Barbara engineer, was the first to finish in one hour, 40 minutes, 53 seconds. His dominance was not unexpected, as a month earlier Dubberley had set a speed record to the top of Mount Whitney. Runner-up Annie O’Donnell’s time of 1:46:49 was a new women’s course record, and three more female runners — Dani Moreno, Andrea McLarty, and Sara Kida — finished in the top eight.

Three women from our fair city played on the gold-medalwinning U.S. team at the FINA World Championships at Kazan, Russia. Kiley Neushul scored the go-ahead goal in the championship match, a 5-4 victory over the Netherlands. Neushul (Dos Pueblos High/Stanford) had eight goals in the tournament, while Kami Craig (S.B. High/USC) scored five. Sami Hill (Dos Pueblos/UCLA) had five saves in a 13-2 victory over Japan as a backup to Ashleigh Johnson, the outstanding goalkeeper of the tournament.

Game of the Week

9/11: High School Football: Channel Islands at Santa Barbara The Dons are rolling into their home opener Friday night after two lopsided road victories against winless teams (64-8 over Hueneme and 42-0 over Santa Maria). Channel Islands is also 2-0, and Santa Barbara coach JT Stone expects the Raiders from Oxnard to give the Dons a dose of hard-hitting football. Santa Barbara’s offense showed speed and finesse last week, as senior quarterback Brent Peus passed for 356 yards and five touchdowns. Ten of his 12 completions — averaging almost 30 yards — went to Mason Bigelow, Blake Kelley, and“Tic”Jellison. 7pm.

sister) and Jewel Roemer helped the American girls win the title, defeating Canada in the final, 9-7. Miles Cole (son of this newspaper’s publisher) was a key player on the national boys team that lost a heartbreaker to Brazil, 11-10, in the gold-medal match.

Cole is a returning player on the San Marcos High water polo team that will be defending its Channel League championship this fall. The Royals, ranked No. 4 on the CIF Division 2 preseason poll, will be tested this weekend at the Santa Barbara Boys Invitational, which features the top five teams in Division 1: Harvard-Westlake, Mater Dei, Loyola, Orange Lutheran, and Huntington Beach. Santa Barbara High and Dos Pueblos also are among the 24 competing schools. Final matches determining the top eight places will take place from 1:20-5:30 p.m. on Saturday at DP’s Elings Aquatic Center.

GOLD ON THE DIAMOND: Santa Barbara pitcher Kevin Gowdy provided some strong work in relief for the U.S.

National Team at the World Under-18 Baseball Cup in Osaka, Japan. Against Cuba in the semifinals, Gowdy threw two scoreless innings, as the Americans rallied to score a 6-5 victory. They defeated host Japan in the final, 2-1, to win their third consecutive championship. Gowdy, a righthander, is entering his senior year at Santa Barbara High.

RIP SANTOS: “There goes another icon,” a Santa Barbara High old-timer said at the memorial mass for Santos Escobar, who died two weeks ago at 87. Escobar dispensed miles

of training tape and uncountable supplies of friendship and support to the Dons during his 40 years as their athletic n trainer. independent.com

carpinteria

A

s dynamos go, Chef Nikki Dailey seems pretty grounded. “The first time I came to Carpinteria, I saw kids playing, you know, kids on bikes,” she recalls. “I saw a girl running around in a princess gown on the streets. There was something very real about it. So I told my husband, let’s open a cooking school here.”

Today, not quite a year later, she has, if not a school, at least a small empire. “The cooking classes, a team-building seminar at Deckers, a catering service, and, oh yeah, the food truck. Do you think,” she asks in all earnestness, “I should do a restaurant?”

It might hinder her. Dailey, an attentive listener as well as a gregarious talker, comes to these accomplishments from globe-trotting experiences very near the top of the cooking universe. It helps to have kicked off at an early age. “When I was 4” she laughed, “I used to do a cooking show for my stuffed animals. I’d line them all up with plates and forks and cook for them.”

It didn’t end there, to the chagrin of her protective Sicilian grandfather: Dailey insisted on working in real restaurants in Orange County, where her family had moved from the East Coast, well before she reached the technically employable age of 16. “I was a weird kid,” she admitted.

After excelling at El Dorado High, Dailey made a real run on college and a career her single mother (and grandparents) would appreciate: premed. But chemistry only reinforced the real love of her life: kitchens. Between sessions, she traveled the world. “Maybe you don’t know this,” she divulged, “but every year Virgin Airlines offers a $250 ticket to anywhere. So I would just wait.”

She learned international foodways, like how to cook (though not savor) monkey brains, in restaurants from Israel to Fiji. Along the way, she attended the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park and, ever the dynamo, staged (pronounced “stodged,” aka working for no money) under the best chefs in America, including Thomas Keller of The French Laundry and Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin, who was her favorite because his skill is matched by passion.

On a recent hot August night, 10 of us gathered in the Heat Culinary kitchen for a class on American barbeque.The menu was ribs baked with a rub and served

/sbindyfood

r

with a sauce, roasted corn with a four-alarm fiery sauce, warmly spiced corn bread, and slaw.

Dailey began with a funny fast rap about how things ought to go, asking for lots of questions from the two D.J. PallaDino cooking stations—teams, it turned out—followed by a quick flow of anecdotes and unorthodox tips. I’ve cooked all my life and learned a few great tricks, including better knife technique and how to look at a recipe (guidelines more than rules, she implored of her recipes).

At the end of the class, a meal happens, with the two teams crowded around one table and the pass-the-salt camaraderie high. For the reasonable price of $60, all the ingredients, know-how, and venue are provided—you bring your own wine and beer. It’s a much more delicious version of the nearby Palms Restaurant, which I also love, where you cook your own steak. There were lots of leftovers, too.

But this all-out evening is only a small part of Heat Culinary. Dailey’s successful catering biz combines Italian love with professional know-how, and her food truck —featuring burritos and chicken and waffles—is currently navigating our town’s Byzantine rules and starting to spread out from corporate stops. An Isla Vista experiment is being considered, and the Funk Zone has yielded some big nights.

In all of this dynamism and fun, it’s easy to lose track of Chef Dailey’s depth of experience. “She was a saucier at The French Laundry,” said an older man at the class, clearly a devotee. “Do you know what that means?!?”

Later, eating scones with espresso in a Mesa café, I tell her about the aside. “Well, he’s almost right,” she said.

“But that’s not what I’m all about. I have some people come to the classes who say, ‘I don’t know how to boil water.’ And they’re intimidated. But hey. That’s not me.

I’m fun. I’d love to teach you how to boil water.”

sandwich & salad Combo @ Park Place deli Sorry, fellow Santa Barbarans in the know. I’ve been sitting on this secret for at least three years now, and the guilt is getting to me. The Park Place Deli on Pueblo Street across from the main entrance to Cottage Hospital is the best place for a cheap, healthy, and tasty lunch (and probably breakfast and dinner) in all of Santa Barbara. Owned and essentially subsidized by the hospital, it sells well-considered sandwiches like five-spice pork, fish po’ boy, and “ultimate” turkey along with flavorful deli salads filled with smart grains and snappy veggies for a mere $6. The threesalad combo with a protein is also a solid choice, and then the doors really swing open for dinner, where nightly specials like crab-stuffed salmon and roast chicken with romesco and wasakaka sauce turn up the juice. In a town ruled by $12 sandos and $30 dinner entrées, this admittedly sounds unbelievable. Do don’t believe me. Stay home. Please.

TURNPIKE RUSTY’S EXPANDING: Readers Cris and SBMizzou let me know that a new sign for Rusty’s Pizza has appeared at 4880 Hollister Avenue in Goleta, in the Turnpike Center parking lot. The building, next to Cody’s Restaurant, was constructed last year and has been rumored to become everything from a sandwich shop to a bank. I spoke with the staff at Turnpike Rusty’s (at the other end of the same parking lot), which has always primarily been a to-go location with just a few tables. I was told that the new location will be a full-sized pizza parlor in the Rusty’s tradition. Rusty’s hopes to open the new location by the end of the year, at which time the current Turnpike Rusty’s will close.

POTEK WINERY NOW OPEN AT THE MILL:

Readers tell me that Potek Winery is now open in The Mill, 406 East Haley Street. Justin West, co-owner of restaurant Julienne at 138 East Canon Perdido Street, plans to open Wildwood Kitchen on the property, offering smoked meats and Southern-style American barbecue with a Santa Barbara ranch influence. Indoor and patio seating will be available. Other future tenants at The Mill include high-end craft beer maker Third Window Brewery, with 18 stainless-steel fermentation tanks. Rumor has it that Wildwood Kitchen and Third Window Brewery hope to open by November.

his newspaper’s executive arts editor Charles Donelan reports that Timbers restaurant plans to host the Goodland Supper Club. Timbers is the longclosed iconic eatery at 10 Winchester Canyon Road in Goleta that is planning a comeback in the near future. Donelan says that the dinner theater will be run by David and Susie Couch, members of the Santa Barbara theater community since 1991.

As producers of the now-defunct Circle Bar B Dinner Theatre, 2004-2014, David and Susie created one of the region’s most ambitious small theaters, presenting one world premiere, two West Coast premieres, and 11 regional premieres.

Recognition in the form of 12 Indy Awards, for acting, directing, costume design, and career achievement, cemented their company’s place among Santa Barbara County’s performing arts organizations. Presenting “comedy with heart,” David and Susie make everyone a part of their theater family. Patrons from as far away as Orange County have grown to love David and Susie’s Seriously Fun Theater.

Tickets for dinner and the show are $49 for general admission and $45 for seniors, students, and tickets purchased as a three-show package.

Contact the Goodland Theater Box Office for reservations at 705-9598.

wanted to focus on small wineries that didn’t have tasting rooms, but over the past eight years, many of the producers the bar once featured became big enough to open their own. That meant Wandering Dog, which is named after a beloved family labrador, was competing with friends, so the couple decided to evolve their strategy.

As a result, Wandering Dog now boasts a private label composed of small-batch and one-off wines made by some of the region’s brightest winemaking stars, many of whom were first poured publicly there. The first Wandering Dog wine was a 2005 pinot noir by Flying Goat winemaker Norm Yost, which the Williams named Leila, after CT’s childhood Newfoundland labrador. Today, the Wandering Dog label encompasses 14 wines, each made by a handpicked vintner and each about 40 cases, or roughly two barrels, of wine.

“Our Wandering Dog label is a way for us to support and promote local winemakers,” said Jody Williams. “We’ve kept many of the same winemakers from year to year and produce small quantities of these one-off wines that are only available in our wine bar.”

Across their lineup, the Williams place as much emphasis on the winemaker as they do the vintage, vineyard, and grape variety, and they hope to eventually produce wines from every AVA in Santa Barbara County.“We really wanted our label to appeal to the general public,” said Jody. “Our customers are very loyal and really

trust us, so we are dedicated to bringing them the best wine in our opinions.” The couple also hosts industry nights every Tuesday and offers blind tasting flights on Thursdays.

Refugio Ranch Ineseño 2012: As summer winds down, or warms up, as it tends to in Santa Barbara, it’s good to have a different white to enjoy.

Ineseño comes to the rescue. A rich, luscious blend of roussanne (59 percent) and viognier (41 percent) that bursts with tropical, roasted fruits and exotic spices yet is not flabby in the slightest, this wine is a treat for white Rhône lovers and will certainly convert more to that tribe. Its big flavors still match well with meals—think mahimahi with a mango salsa, or it could even sub as your quince paste for a creamy goat cheese. Bonus points if you knew the name is one of the extinct Chumash languages. See refugioranch.com.

Bill Bolton captures French crossing signs in his book in search oF piétons

What inspired you to turn your observations of pedestrian crosswalk signs into a sort of research project? I always observe

things. I’m curious, and when I realized, in my walks during those two years in France, that not all pedestrian crossing signs were alike, I thought, “This is interesting, I wonder if there are more than a couple of dif different ones?” In the end, I found two dozen.

I took my camera with me and started to

What was involved in photographing the rather unusual subject of street signs? I first had to clean off the signals to get a clear photo — they had dirt and leaves and things on them. So here’s this guy with cleaning materials and a ladder; I spent easily a half hour at each signal, and that would draw a crowd, and sometimes the police would be circling. They didn’t stop, just circled around. When passersby asked questions, I made it sound like a secret mission.

Most of the signs are simply schematic figures of humans, vaguely male. But at least one seems to be fully dressed, in outline.

The one you’ve named “Victor” is wearing what appears to be a suit and a porkpie hat. I named each photograph more

recently, when I started to really put the book together and market it. I had it in my mind then that I had seen a sign somewhere that was a Man with a Hat. That kept niggling at me, and finally I found one, Image 12, and named it after my favorite author, Victor Hugo.

Your book includes not only the street names and cities where you took each photo but also QR bar codes that lead to a Google map, pinpointing the exact spot where you took each photograph. What did you have in mind with that? I wanted to desig-

nate where the photos were taken, the street, and city name. Of course these photos were taken 23 years ago.

So being able to actually locate these things adds to the validity of the proj project. Of course, some changes have occurred since then. For instance, with No. 12, Victor, the brasserie in Montreuil where I was when I saw him is still there. But they took the street-crossing sign down. A lot of streets have been changed into roundabouts, so the signs aren’t needed anymore.

It’s getting a little easier [to roam and see the world] with the new urbanism; there are more footpaths, smaller confined buildings, maybe fewer cars. Getting people out and walking about is a good thing, something I want to encourage. Be a flâneur. I love that word. It describes me perfectly.

PuBlic enemy

Banditos

Chuck D proves once again why he is the poet laureate of consciousness-expanding, socially relevant hip-hop packed with substantive lyrics on Public Enemy’s latest masterpiece, Man Plans God Laughs. “No Sympathy from the Devil” opens the record righteously as Chuck D comes out swinging. “Me to We” is a funky call-and-response solidarity-invoking number.

On the title track, Professor Griff rocks the mike, and “Honky Talk Rules” deconstructs the Stones’ classic “Honky Tonk Women” and reimagines it as a biting critique of hegemonic honky hypocrisy. Throughout PE’s oratorical odyssey, Flavor Flav remains the hyped-up clown prince of rhyme and one-man Greek chorus. Old-school sonic gurus Chuck, Griff, Flav, and co. remind us that it’s still time for everyday heroes to fight the power — and that Public Enemy’s music matters!

— Sean Mageean

The press release for Banditos describes the music as “populist choogle,” a self-reflexive autonym of CCR invention referring to a wild and rockin’ good time. Thinking of how choogling Banditos are, I thought of other verbal expressions to describe their music. This is music for the getaway car post-Bonnie and Clyde shootout, with raucous rollickers like “The Breeze” and “Still Sober (After All These Beers).” It’s music for moonshine-addled lunar howls issued from a rickety porch in the sullen Joplin soul of songs like “No Good.” It is music as hot and crackling as a lightning bolt rumbling and rambling across a Southern sky.

ON VIEW: Charlie Mitchell’s gallery offers a quirky, visual experience full of works by artists with lesserknown names and big talents.

“For me what makes a really great painting [is] one you want to visit over and over again, day after day,” said Charlie Mitchell, owner of the recently opened Mitchell Estate Gallery. A full-time electrician, Mitchell has been amassing art for his dream gallery for 27 years and now has finally unveiled it to the public. The space offers a quirky visual experience full of works by artists with lesser-known names and big talents.

Mitchell moved from L.A. to Santa Barbara nearly three decades ago and found his passion strengthened when he discovered myriad area artists who had talent for creating striking images. He decided right then that their works needed to be shared with the community.

Mitchell explained that “seeing the artist’s work initially and imagining how I could present it” is one of his favorite aspects of being a gallery owner.

Mitchell is staunch in his opinions and doesn’t answer to anyone’s ideas of what art should be. “If I don’t love it, it doesn’t go on the wall. Period,” he stated. “I am not interested in names — I don’t really care who the artist is. I am interested in the images,” Mitchell continued, adding that he wishes for the customers coming into his space to find pieces that talk to them and interact with them visually. “They don’t have to want to have it; they don’t have to own it,” he said. “I am in the business of selling art, but it is not essential that they buy it. But I think the most important thing is to see if they love it or like it or dislike it.” Thanks to that philosophy, the Mitchell Estate Gallery offers a unique, genre-varied visit with something for every kind of art lover.

The warehouse gallery has three rooms: One has alternating exhibits — Leonardo Nuñez is on display now. The second is full of vivid colors, bold sculptures, and high ceilings. The third, the salón, is still under construction but is already ordained with hundreds of paintings that are sure to impress any viewer. The latest show features area artist Ed Moses. For more information, call 568-1700 or see themitchellestate.com.

COMING ALIVE: On September 12, conductor Carl St. Clair will lead the USC Thornton Symphony through Russian musical repertoire using cutting-edge animation technology.

T

“

hey are like a Juilliard orchestra,” said USC Thornton School of Music professor Daniel Pollack, speaking proudly of the group that he will be joining at the Granada Theatre for two concerts this weekend, September 12-13. “They are that superbly trained and confident.” And Daniel Pollack should know. In addition to his post at USC, he has held teaching positions at Juilliard, Columbia, and Yale. But his musical heart belongs — as does this program — to Russia. He will be playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, a work with which he has been associated for decades and which he has performed on several important anniversaries with the top orchestras and conductors in Russia. “Along with Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, it’s probably Tchaikovsky’s best-known work,” Pollack told me, “and it is certainly my favorite for its wonderful pathos, flavor, and color.”

With such a distinguished musician on the bill, little else would be needed to make this an important concert to kick off the classical season at the Granada, but there’s considerably more to this special event. Also on USC ThornTon orCheSTra the program is Modest Mussorgsky’s most famous composition, Pictures at an Exhibition. In 2010, 13 artists from animaTion TeChnology USC’s School of Cinematic Studies John C. Hench Division of Animation and Digital Arts embarked on an ambitious

by Charles Donelan project to bring this great piece of music to life, Fantasia-style. Working with the legendary conductor Michael Tilson Thomas at the New World Center with the New World Symphony in Miami, they exhibited this work for the first time.

Since then, two important things have happened. The first is that a new technology called Muséik has been developed by Ion Concert Media, and it will revolutionize the way that orchestras perform live with animation.

Instead of synchronizing the music to the image, Muséik allows a human player to control the tempo of the images to match with what the orchestra is doing. For these performances, Scott Wilson, the founder of Ion Concert Media, will be in the pit “playing” the images along with the other musicians under the baton of maestro Carl St. Clair. The second development is the installation of the Granada’s state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind rear-projection screen, which will allow this to be done in glorious color and at a high resolution. Together these innovations promise a unique experience that’s unavailable anywhere else in the world at this time.

Under the direction of USC faculty members Candace Reckinger and Michael Patterson, the animation students have employed a broad range of techniques to realize their visions — CG, digital hand-drawn, analog handdrawn, rotoscope, long-exposure photography, green-screen live action, and practical VFX are all represented in the work, which is by Emily Henricks, Andy Lyon, Elizabeth Willy, Ryan Kravetz, Cecilia Fletcher, Melissa Bouwman, Seong Young Kim, Steven Day, Alesandro Ceglia, Ria Ama, and Santa Barbara’s own Carolyn Chrisman.

In addition to the Tchaikovsky concerto and the Mussorgsky, the program will also include the overture to Glinka’s opera Ruslan and Lyudmila. Starting with great music, adding imaginative animation, and then finishing the offering by introducing innovative technology, USC and the Granada have come together to present something very special to Santa Barbara.

NO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE: Headless Household celebrates the release of its new album, Balladismo, at Center Stage Theater this Saturday, September 12.

I SHALL BE RELEASED

by Richie DeMaria

RELEASE ME: The weekend rings in a pair of release parties celebrating new homegrown music. Tonight, Thursday, September 10, Goleta’s Cory Sipper invites all to dine and enjoy the gentle sounds of her new album, Make Your Magic, from which she will play songs with a full band at SOhO (8pm, $8, 1221 State St.). In a July 2 interview with me, she said her new album is about listening to your inner voice and trusting your inner drive. Go to SOhO Thursday, and be spellbound with encouragement.

On Saturday, September 12, the eclectic Headless Household hosts a release “wingding” for their new album, Balladismo, at Center Stage Theater (8pm, $17 general, $12 for students and seniors, 751 Paseo Nuevo), where the band has played ever since the theater’s founding 25 years ago.

Fans and newcomers can expect the unexpected, with numbers pulled from Headless Household’s many-headed beast of a back catalog, nine albums and counting. Present will be some of the great jazz and experimental musicians of the area. It’s sure to be a celebration not just of the new album but of all off-beat and free-form rhythms strongly rumbling just under the glossy Santa Barbara radar.

SKATE AND SHOOT: On the theme of bands throwing parties, consider putting on your calendar the ¡La Vasa! Video Shoot and Show on Sunday, September 20, at the Dos Pueblos Orchid Ranch (10:30am-8pm, free admission) for the filming of the resident punk speed-rawkers’ newest music video. The event promises a Powell Invitational Skate Contest and access to a private beach, petting zoo, half-pipe, and indoor skate park, with a free party bus from downtown S.B. to Goleta. Even better, the $10 VIP ticket gets you free beer provided by Pabst Blue Ribbon and free tri-tip and BBQ. Slow Children, Defeating the Purpose, Courtney and the Heathens, and The Olés will provide some musical accompaniment to the day’s surely wild and crazy proceedings.

CALLING ALL BANDS: A new company is hoping to broadcast 805 music to the world at large, and they’re looking for musicians to help heed the call.

Central Coast Live! is a start-up beginning a quest of local exposure, fixing its lens on regional acts to stream live performances on Friday and Saturday nights. The organization has already hosted acts like Rio Salinas, ZZAH, and Prestige and is looking to expand its roster of performers. In an era when localization is the new globalization, this sounds like a great way to showcase the shockingly huge number of acts created within the Tri-County region. Interested artists can submit via centralcoastlive.com.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Of all the ways to spend your last night on Earth, a night enjoying area electronic and hip-hop sounds like a pretty good way to go. On Saturday, September 12, Velvet Jones hosts its Last Night on Earth 2015, featuring Kids of the Moon, Dash Positive with Chapsworth and Chaye Tione, Putrid, Aryeh Cohen, and Tsujigiri (9pm, $10, 423 State St.).

Kids of the Moon make lovely astronomically inspired techno, spacey and beautiful. Dash Positive, meanwhile, goes for a more down-to-earth (or down-to-beach) vibe, rapping with simultaneous confidence and chill.

Putrid will get things bumping with his instrumental hip-hop, and the lovable Aryeh Cohen assures nothing but smooth sailing with his inventive, trumpet-tinged electronic compositions. Tsujigiri rounds out the night with glitchy electronica.

In a town where guitar music usually shapes the status quo, it’s great to see a venue hosting a night of music like this. Spend your last night on Earth at Velvet, and help raise these musicians’ profiles beyond Soundn Cloud and into the wider listenership they deserve.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of septembeR 10 ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “More and more I have come to admire resilience,” writes Jane Hirshfield in her poem “Optimism.”“Not the simple resistance of a pillow,” she adds, “whose foam returns over and over to the same shape, but the sinuous tenacity of a tree: finding the light newly blocked on one side, it turns in another.”

You have not often had great access to this capacity in the past, Aries. Your specialty has been the fast and fiery style of adjustment. But for the foreseeable future, I’m betting you will be able to summon a supple staying power — a dogged, determined, incremental kind of resilience.

(June 21-July 22): Why grab the brain-scrambling moonshine when you may eventually be offered a heart-galvanizing tonic? Why gorge on hors d’oeuvres when a four-course feast will be available sooner than you imagine? According to my analysis of the astrological omens, my fellow Crab, the future will bring unexpected opportunities that are better and brighter than the current choices. This is one of those rare times when procrastination may be in your interest.

seems to take forever. You’re so close to home; you’re imagining the comfort and rest that will soon be yours.

But as you cross the “wheady mile,” you must navigate your way through one further plot twist or two. There’s a delay or complication that demands more effort just when you want to be finished with the story. Be strong, Libra. Keep the faith. The wheady mile will not, in fact, take forever. (Thanks to Mark Forsyth and his book Horologicon.)

LEO

SCORPIO

(July 23-Aug. 22): As I hike up San Pedro Ridge, I’m mystified by the madrone trees. The leaves on the short, thin saplings are as big and bold as the leaves on the older, thicker, taller trees. I see this curiosity as an apt metaphor for your current situation, Leo. In one sense, you are in the early stages of a new cycle of growth. In another sense, you are strong and ripe and full-fledged. For you, this is a winning combination: a robust balance of innocence and wisdom, of fresh aspiration and seasoned readiness.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trying improbable and unprecedented combinations is your specialty right now.

You’re willing and able to gamble with blends and juxtapositions that no one else would think of, let alone propose. Bonus: Extra courage is available for you to call on as you proceed. In light of this gift, I suggest you brainstorm about all the unifications that might be possible for you to pull off. What conflicts would you love to defuse? What inequality or lopsidedness do you want to fix? Is there a misunderstanding you can heal or a disjunction you can harmonize?

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “The fragrance from your mango groves makes me wild with joy.” That’s one of the lyrics in the national anthem of Bangladesh. Here’s another: “Forever your skies … set my heart in tune as if it were a flute.” Elsewhere, addressing Bangladesh as if it were a goddess, the song proclaims,“Words from your lips are like nectar to my ears.” I suspect you may be awash with comparable feelings in the coming weeks, Taurus — not toward your country, but rather for the creatures and experiences that rouse your delight and exultation. They are likely to provide even more of the sweet mojo than they usually do. It will be an excellent time to improvise your own hymns of praise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There have been times in the past when your potential helpers disappeared just when you wanted more help than usual. In the coming weeks, I believe you will get redress for those sad interludes of yesteryear. A wealth of assistance and guidance will be available. Even people who have previously been less than reliable may offer a tweak or intervention that gives you a boost. Here’s a tip for how to ensure that you take full advantage of the possibilities: Ask clearly and gracefully for exactly what you need.

Homework: What are five conditions you’d need in your world in order to feel you were living in utopia? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I hope it’s not too late or too early to give you a slew of birthday presents. You deserve to be inundated with treats, dispensations, and appreciations. Here’s your first perk: You are hereby granted a license to break a taboo that is no longer useful or necessary. Second blessing: You are authorized to instigate a wildly constructive departure from tradition.

Third boost: I predict that in the next six weeks, you will simultaneously claim new freedom and summon more discipline. Fourth delight: During the next three months, you will discover and uncork a new thrill.

Fifth goody: Between now and your birthday in 2016, you will develop a more relaxed relationship with perfectionism.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A “wheady mile” is an obsolete English term I want to revive for use in this horoscope. It refers to what may happen at the end of a long journey, when that last stretch you’ve got to traverse

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Is feeling good really as fun as everyone seems to think? Is it really so wonderful to be in a groove, in love with life, and in touch with your deeper self? No! Definitely not! And I suspect that as you enter more fully into these altered states, your life will provide evidence of the inconveniences they bring.

For example, some people might nag you for extra attention, and others may be jealous of your success.

You could be pressured to take on more responsibilities. And you may be haunted by the worry that sooner or later, this grace period will pass. I’M JUST KIDDING, SAGITTARIUS! In truth, the minor problems precipitated by your blessings won’t cause any more anguish than a mosquito biting your butt while you’re in the throes of ecstatic lovemaking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In this horoscope, we will use the Socratic method to stimulate your excitement about

projects that fate will favor in the next nine months.

Here’s how it works: I ask the questions, and you brainstorm the answers. (1) Is there any part of your life where you are an amateur but would like to be a professional? (2) Are you hesitant to leave a comfort zone even though remaining there tends to inhibit your imagination? (3) Is your ability to fulfill your ambitions limited by any lack of training or deficiency in your education? (4) Is there any way that you are holding on to blissful ignorance at the expense of future possibilities? (5) What new license, credential, diploma, or certification would be most useful to you?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The story of my life features more than a few fiascos. For example, I got fired from my first job after two days. One of my girlfriends dumped me without any explanation and never spoke to me again. My record label fired me and my band after we made just one album. Years later, these indignities still carry a sting. But I confess that I am also grateful for them. They keep me humble. They serve as antidotes if I’m ever tempted to deride other people for their failures. They have helped me develop an abundance of compassion. I mention this personal tale in the hope that you, too, might find redemption and healing in your own memories of frustration. The time is right to capitalize on old losses.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It’s never fun to be in a sticky predicament that seems to have no smart resolution. But the coming days could turn out to be an unexpectedly good time to be in such a predicament. Why? Because I expect that your exasperation will precipitate an emotional cleansing, releasing ingenious intuitions that had been buried under repressed anger and sadness. You may then find a key that enables you to reclaim at least some of your lost power. The predicament that once felt sour and intractable will mutate, providing you with an opportunity to deepen your connection with a valuable resource.

Legals Administer of Estate NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: GORO TAKEUCHI NO: 15PR00313 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of GORO TAKEUCHI A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: MICHAEL G. TAKEUCHI in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that (name): KAREN K. TAKEUCHI and MICHAEL G. TAKEUCHI 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 10/22/2015 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O. Box 21107 Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Probate 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: James P. Griffith 1129 State Street Suite 3 Santa Barbara, CA 93101 ; (805) 805‑962‑5821.

Meet Naugiemae Naugiemae just came from the shelter so she is still a little frightened. After a day or two she really comes around.

She just needs love.

Meet Angel

Angel is 7 years old, neutered, up to date on shots, and best of all housebroken. He came to us because his family could no longer care for him.

Meet Princess Princess is cute as can be. She has lived in an apartment all her life and unfortunately has been bred many times. She is due for a break and a happy home.

Meet Melody

Melody is 7 years old but full of life.

She was turned in because her owner could no longer take care of her. She is spayed, has all shots, and best of all is housebroken.

T

he movie’s title translates literally to “a rooster with many eggs,” and after you see it, you will know that the pun was intended. (A rooster with lots of huevos; get it? Oh, never mind.) Fans of contemporary world cartooning got a taste of first-rate Mexican animation work last winter with the American release of Jorge R. Gutiérrez’s The Book of Life, dubbed and released here with deserved fanfare, although the spectacular art overwhelmed the long, circular plot.

The same critique applies to Un gallo, except the tedium is confined to the mandatory training scenes in the middle of this tale of goofy-rooster-versus-corporatemonster clucker.

Most of it is fun. The audience deeply, boisterously appreciated the many double entendres and fart jokes ladled on top of this inspirational story. The best part is swooping “camera-work” employed by animator Gabriel Riva Palacio Alatriste, whose imagery includes long pans, arresting close-ups, and an extended canyon chase flight scene that screams Star Wars. Presented with English subtitles, it’s also rich in in-joke allusions to Bruce Lee, The Karate Kid, and The Godfather.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS: A would-be rooster must defend his home and family from an evil rancher in Un gallo con muchos huevos.

So why didn’t it get a wide release? The answer may not be obvious at first, since the cutesifying process is so thorough, we don’t realize the climax refers to cockfighting. In a satirically sanitized way, granted, but inside the borders of this country, that’s basically taboo material — just ask NFL quarterback Michael Vick.

Rest assured; there is nothing too graphic. Hollywood cartoons dish out just as much sex and (cartoon) violence. Yet this is promising stuff; the stylishness and sheer audience appeal suggest more of the Americas might get involved in animation’s future.

This one might not be eggs-actly right for gringo toonlovers, though. n

A Walk in the Woods. Robert Redford, Nick Nolte, and Emma Thompson star in a film written by Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman, based on the book by Bill Bryson, and directed by Ken Kwapis.

Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

i

n a just universe, where the good are rewarded and bad chastised, nobody but Nick Nolte should have walked away from this film with legacy intact. The worst offender? Robert Redford, a supposed beacon to young filmmaking talent via his Sundance Institute.

How a discerning man could let this beloved book get such mediocre treatment is shameful. And it’s not like he didn’t have time: Redford sat on this project for a decade, weathering the disappointment that Paul Newman could not (or would not) costar. Why this hackneyed film when so many young moviemakers live waiting for Redford to call?

Most of the film rings false. Transposed from its 1990s setting (it’s based on real events), the screenwriters introduce us to a world with laptops but no cell phones—we’re in the past and the present simultaneously, watching travel writer Bill Bryson attempt to walk the Appalachian Trail with his out-ofshape, recovering-alcoholic friend Stephen Katz (Nick Nolte). In order to accommodate the aging Redford, writers Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman decided to make this an aging-boomer bromance. (Bryson was 40-ish when he took the real walk). But the writers’

BOOMERS GONE WILD: Robert Redford (left) and Nick Nolte star in A Walk in the Woods.

real mistake was excising Bryson’s punchy humor and turning the film into a sitcom starring goofy walk-ons: a self-obsessed woman, two bears, and a horny large woman. Whenever anything starts to look like genuine conflict, the hikers attain some lofty peak and look down on woody nature. It’s easy cinematic epiphany time. The writers turned touching humor into snack cheese.

Maybe it’s not a great book. Bill McKibben’s The Age of Missing Information is a better-written American nature manifesto from the same era. Yet Bryson’s book touched nerves, and Redford ought to have honored it. Instead, only Nolte seems authentic, wheezing like a truly suffering man who expects natural salvation despite large self-doubts. Some of his humility might have helped Redford traverse this muddied dreck. n

Metro 4 (2D)

O The Gift

(108 mins.; R: language)

The Gift is a genuinely creepy tale spun with adult themes: domestic intruders, cuckolding fears, and awkward reunions with ghosts from the past. Unnervingly tense and paced with surprising character twists, it’s a deeper and more relatable horror than others this summer. It’s refreshing to have a thriller about the monstrosity of everyday life. (RD) 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) Fairview (2D) The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (116 mins.; PG-13: action violence, some suggestive content, and partial nudity)

Guy Ritchie directs this action/adventure comedy about CIA agent Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer), who team up to fight a mysterious criminal organization trying to proliferate nuclear weapons.

Fairview/Fiesta 5

O Meru

(87 mins.; R: language)

Filmed at death-defying altitudes of more than 20,000 feet, with long glacial valleys hanging below, Meru puts viewers right in the climber’s harness on the face of one of the Earth’s most challenging climbs. While a mostly straightforward telling, the film is also interesting for its spiritual element — the way in which lives reorganize and settle upon a path after a destabilizing cataclysm.

(RD) Paseo Nuevo

Phoenix (98 mins.; PG-13: some thematic elements and brief suggestive material) A disfigured concentration camp survivor who becomes unrecognizable after facial reconstruction searches postwar Berlin for her husband, who may have betrayed her to the Nazis. Plaza de Oro Pixels (105 mins.; PG-13: some language and suggestive comments) Intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and use them as models to attack Earth. The president calls upon 1980s champions — who are all grown up — of each game to defend the planet.

O Straight Outta Compton

(147 mins.; R: language throughout, strong sexuality/nudity, violence, and drug use)

This is a well-made if unchallenging biopic about the pioneering hip-hop group N.W.A and its founding fathers, Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell), Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins), and Ice Cube (played by his son, O’Shea Jackson Jr.). This flick feels soft and tame in its ways, but it’s still a great watch. It reminds us of the rappers’ fiercest days and why their legacy remains so vital — the endurance of their great music, their undefeatable willingness to be uncompromising, and their poetic call for justice. (RD) Camino Real/Metro 4

O Trainwreck (125 mins.; R: strong sexual content, nudity, language, and some drug use) In Trainwreck, Amy (Amy Schumer) crashes through a variety of dating wreckages en route to a happier partnership. But the film isn’t just about the disasters but also the grace to recover from them, and reminds us that if there’s a light at the end of this crazy tunnel, it’s through the redemption of laughter. The result will be remembered as one of the funnier risqué adventures of the summer. (RD) Paseo Nuevo

scolded for tracking in a little sand. While it’s not rustic by any means, it’s certainly not fancy. It’s a sturdy, beautiful two-story beach house with huge windows, decks, and doors that all take advantage of the amazing panoramic ocean view.

It turns out that this property has been in the same family for generations. It was part of an original 30-acre parcel with a home called Rosewood Mansion, which still exists near the Beach Club.

In the late ’50s, the 30-acre parcel was subdivided into various-sized lots and sold, but the owners kept this two-acre parcel and built this home in 1965. It has remained in the family ever since and has never before been on the market.

I thanked Jasmine for the history lesson. It was time to head back to the office, but I couldn’t resist one more walk along the ocean bluff. I may never live in a

straight through the high-ceilinged living room, out the glass-walled veranda, to the edge of the cliff. The view is incredible. From the left, you can see all the way past the distinctive white roofs of Santa Claus Lane to Loon Point. To the right, there’s more sweeping coastline and crashing waves out to Surf Point.

Truth be told, I was somewhat intimidated going to visit a $14 million property. I confessed as much to Jasmine, who was showing me the house that day, but she encouraged me to make myself comfortable and look around. She pointed out the separate guest house that was open and available to tour, as well, so I decided that if I had to tear myself away from the ocean view and go inside, the smaller sister might be the less nerve-racking starting point.

The little one-bedroom/one-bathroom guesthouse is light, airy, and casual. It feels like an informal vacation home. I relaxed a little more.

Feeling bolder, I toured the main house, finding four bedrooms and three bathrooms that were just as comfortable and inviting.

he summer we turned 15, my best friend,, Juli, and I went to the beach almost every day. We kept a calendar to track our escapades. If we made it to the beach, we marked the calendar with a big X. If we didn’t get there, we recorded the explanation: “It was cloudy; went shopping.” By the time school started, almost every day was crossed out. It was a glorious, golden summer. We swam, body surfed, and pretended we were on our own private island.

Fast-forward more than a few years to the present. Juli and I are still best friends and still pretty beach-obsessed. Families and careers have overshadowed some leisure time, but last year we vacationed together right here in Santa Barbara and visited five beaches in five days. It was as close to that 15-year-old summer as we’ll likely get in the foreseeable future.

I still try to get to the beach every day, and I still harbor the dream of my own private island.

When I visited 3111 Padaro Lane last week, I knew it would be a special property, but I had no idea just how special. As I walked toward the house, I could see through the open door to the wall of windows looking out on the backyard and the ocean beyond. I was drawn

Women in Construction?

The National Association of Women in Construction has approximately 100 chapters scattered across the country.

Many of these provide training opportunities for women wanting to enter the field or advance up the ladder to a more challenging, responsible, lucrative position.

dog in a pickup truck, low-slung pants, a swagger, a loud mouth, and a can-do attitude have long defined the construction worker.

Of course, hammers (now pneumatic nailers), saws (power miter saws), drills (cordless drills), and levels (laser rangefinders) have always been a part of building, but equally if not more important today are iPhones, iPads, computers, and electronic prints. These demand additional skill sets. The benefits are numerous, among which are more organized projects, better communication, and less waste.

An even bigger change, in my opinion, is the opening of construction to women, or, more accurately, women demanding access to good jobs in the industry. It has not been easy. The pioneering women have endured pervasive denigration, belittlement, intimidation, and sexual harassment. These behaviors still exist in the field but with less frequency. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2010 report, women currently make up 9 percent of the construction work force, or more than 800,000.

Women still do not generally think of construction as a career, but it is an option and truly a good one. It offers a ticket to the middle class. Wages range from $15-$80 an hour or even more. Perhaps the most satisfying aspect is being a part of creating something tangible: beautiful structures out of seemingly nothing. The field has a shortage of workers of either gender with good skills and qualifications. Many of the jobs are not physically hard, though some are, while many are mentally demanding. A good brain is often the best tool.

eal Mexicans eat real chiles and make real salsa. That’s in our cultural DNA. Not

only did the ancient Aztecs ritually rip the hearts out of their conquests, but they also stone-ground chile-peppers and tomatoes to make a condiment that has endured the Spanish conquest and become an American staple. In this week’s column, Gustavo the Gardenator shares his wisdom of this ancient art form of what he calls “being a real Mexican.”

The fastest way to get your honorary Mexican citizenship is to buy three different five-gallon chile pepper plants. Gustavo recommends chile de árbol as your go-to chile plant, chile campana as a nice complement, and chile habanero to add the heat. Be careful because “el habanero es bravisimo” (it’s really, really hot).

Mix your soil with organic fertilizer, and make sure you water them two to three times a week, especially when first planted. Chiles like the warm sun and will ripen in the summer.“En dos meses, dan chilitos,” says Gustavo, meaning that, in two months, you’ll get lots of peppers. If you want to sundry your chile de árbol, you can leave them in the sun and wait another two months. The total cost for this path to dual citizenship: $150 bucks.

So what to do with these peppers?

Here is Gustavo’s quick and simple salsa recipes. This is your medium-heat house staple using a blender. You can experiment and vary this recipe to your heart’s content.

—3 jitomates (red tomatoes), boiled —10 tomates (small green tomatoes with husks, what

by Gustavo Uribe your gringos call tomatillos), boiled —6 dried chiles de árbol —Garlic clove and salt

Put the stuff in the blender with a little bit of water.

And here is Gustavo’s Aztec warrior salsa recipe using a molcajete (Mexican stone mortar and pestle).

First add a clove of garlic, and mash that up in the molcajete.

Wrap the jitomates and tomates in aluminum and roast them on comal (Mexican iron griddle). Remove skin and pulp and then add them to the molcajete. Toast the chiles and add those, too. Add salt and a tiny bit of water, and bam!

Grab chips and beer, and start the fiesta music with Vicente Fernández or Eydie Gormé and Los Panchos’ version of “Sabor a Mi.” Gustavo Uribe is a fifth-generation agricultural specialist who has worked as a professional gardener in Santa Barbara for more than 30 years.

Fill toilet t tank t e

ven the 1.6-gallon-per-flush toilets that are considered conservation-minded will flush just fine with about a gallon, and many older models in homes and businesses use far more than that. In our home, we’ve developed a free and easy way to conserve water with every flush.

Save some tall and narrow glass jars and bottles that fit in the toilet tank. Soak off the labels, because they tend to come loose, and submerge the jar in the empty space at the end of the tank away from the flushing mechanism. The toilet will now save water equal to the volume of submerged jars with every future flush.

—Mark Butterfield Remember, every bit counts!

We invite readers and businesses to send us their water-saving strategies to share by emailing WaterSaver@independent.com.

Since you’re Mexican, can you tell me what chiles to plant for salsa?

efore Mother Teresa, there were the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. In 1857, two courageous women, Andrea Gibbs and Mary Mullane, took a ship from Maryland to the Isthmus of Panama and then embarked on another ship to San Francisco, only to complete their journey on a third boat ride down to Santa Barbara. Their mission was to open a school and help the less fortunate.

Arriving in Santa Barbara on January 5, 1858, the Sisters initially lived and began their school in an old adobe near the corner of Carrillo and State streets that is believed to have been the headquarters of General Frémont (for which the city near San Francisco is named). Within a few years, the Sisters moved their school to 360plus acres of farmland on the Cieneguitas Ranch near the intersection of today’s San Marcos Pass and 101 freeway. There, they established the first English-speaking school in the region, naming it St. Vincent.

By 1868, the Sisters acquired property near Carrillo and De la Vina streets, where a two-story brick building was constructed, only to be torched by fire within a few years. In 1874, under the direction of Peter S. Barber, architect A. Marquis designed a three-story Italianate Victorian with a basement. For the next half-century, the Sisters’ school took in a wide diversity of lessprivileged children.

In 1925, the great Santa Barbara earthquake caused structural damage to the De la Vina property. It was subsequently decided that the building’s third story would be removed. Today, it serves as private offices and has been recognized by the late architectural historian, Dr. David Gebhard, who wrote,“Due to its size and design, this is unquestionably the most important late 19th century building still standing in Santa Barbara.”

Area highlights The Neighbors: Families of all shapes

and sizes, plus students, professionals young and old, and retirees.

Market: Single-family homes and

quiet and quaint, with the beach or hiking always on the mind.

You’ll Love: Picnics at Tucker’s Grove, watching hang gliders at More Mesa, a quick round at Hidden Oaks Golf Course, country karaoke at the Creek Side, and breakfast at Cody’s.

Perfect For: Families wanting to break in

with a condo or win big with some elbow grease on a big lot.

Around the Area Quite a unique mix of open space and density, Noleta is the semirural mix of residential and commercial properties sandwiched between the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara. The housing types are as varied as anywhere on the entire South Coast, ranging from large estates and modest single-family homes to upscale townhomes and affordable condos. Properties come in all manner of conditions, as well: turnkey suburban tract homes, large properties with old ranch-style homes needing TLC, and condos priced low enough for young families to enter the market.

Cody’s at Turnpike and Hollister to beers at the Creek Side Inn, award-winning barbecue at Woody’s, and arguably the best fast food burger in the world at the Santa Barbara area’s only In-N-Out. Java Station and Goleta Coffee Company hold down the cup o’ joe crowds, while Del Pueblo Café and the Bourbon Room promise great eats at reasonable prices.

Perhaps the best part of all is that a dedicated bicycle trail runs through Noleta, connecting Santa Barbara to Goleta and UCSB and providing an easy, relaxing way to enjoy a weekend day.

Noleta offers everything you need, but with peace, quiet, and lots of space to truly enjoy life.

San Roque (CONTiNUED)

CONTiNUED

Aside from the main thoroughfare of Hollister Avenue (which is what State Street turns into at Modoc Road), the streets tend to be very quiet, and leisure time is often spent hiking the trails at Tucker’s Grove park, walking down the More Mesa bluffs to the secluded sands below, or playing a laid-back round at the executive-sized, nine-hole Hidden Oaks Golf Course. There is plenty of true urban agriculture scattered amid the developments, as well, and Lane Farms, in particular, serves as a farming hub, each year hosting the region’s most popular pumpkin patch.

There is plenty of commercial activity, too, from the beloved breakfast spot

condo complexes abound, but gold can be found in the large lots with fixerupper ranch homes.

Lifestyle: Relaxed and semirural, so it’s

independent real estate

Sandwiched between the cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, this unincorporated swath of Santa Barbara County land is a mix of suburban developments, semirural neighborhoods, and some of the last stands of true urban agriculture in Southern California.

Properties range from ranch-style homes with horse stables to modest singly-family dwellings to townhomes, condos, and a few apartment complexes. Strip malls serve most commercial needs—but they’re home to gems like the Creek Side Inn bar and Cody’s Restaurant—and outdoor recreation abounds, thanks to the bluff tops of More Mesa, the trails of Tucker’s Grove, hidden parks around every corner, and bike paths through it all.
