He returned to Jamaica a decade or so ago and started Jahhiya Travel Service, and Indy publisher Joe Cole met up with him on a recent visit to Fern Gully just outside Ocho Rios. He’s still making music and has a new CD, Blazing Hits Volume II, which became the roots soundtrack to their island treks. Irie vibe, mon.

Well-Orchestrated love Fest ith some members of Congress seeking to strip Planned Parenthood of half a billion dollars in federal funding—and hard-core Republican conservatives threatening to shut down the government entirely unless this happens—the County Board of Supervisors and Santa Barbara City Council both passed resolutions praising the organization for providing low-cost reproductive health services to thousands of city and county residents who otherwise might go without. Putting Planned Parenthood on the hot seat is the antiabortion group Center for Medical Progress, which has just released its 10th video showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of fetal tissues, obtained via abortion, to biomedical research labs. The video makers—posing as representatives of a fictitious biomedical lab seeking to buy such samples — contend they’ve exposed Planned Parenthood officials figuring out how to maximize revenues off the sale of fetal body parts while chatting with the bogus buyers over lunch at LESS IS MORE: Although antiabortion activists showed up in greater numbers, Planned a Pasadena bistro.

After four inmate fights within one hour at the jail’s Medium Security Facility on 9/9, the Sheriff’s Office is investigating who and what caused the brawls. The series of fights, involving 5-30 inmates each, occurred in pretrial housing areas and resulted in only minor inmate injuries. Due to the conflicts, 22 inmates were relocated to the Main Jail. sbso Photos

Planned Parenthood Gets Resolution Despite Heat from Antiabortion Crowd

LAW & DISORDER

Two juries returned guilty verdicts against Juan Carlos Herrera-Romero (pictured right), 31, and Gabino Andres Romero (pictured left), 27, the two cousins who raped a 64-year-old homeless woman at knifepoint on East Beach in July 2014. Next month, both will be sentenced by Judge Rick Brown.

Under California’s One Strike Law for sexual offenders, they are eligible for life in prison.

KCOY news anchor Paula Lopez’s 9/6 DUI and assault case is expected to be filed by the District Attorney’s Office within two weeks to a month. Lopez resisted arrest and kicked two officers, according to CHP Officer Jonathan Gutierrez. The results of a blood-alcohol test may not be available for several months, he explained. DA Joyce Dudley said the case will be handled by the North County DA’s Office to avoid any potential conflict of interest. Lopez’s husband is a retired South County judge.

Attorney Barry Cappello announced on 9/14 that he has filed a second class-action complaint against Plains All American Pipeline, this time on behalf of Richard Lilygren, a Santa Barbara resident and oil platform worker who was laid off after the 5/19 Refugio Oil Spill shut down oil production in the area. The complaint seeks an undetermined amount in damages for Lilygren and all others who lost their jobs, and a permanent injunction requiring Plains to install automatic shutoff valves on its pipelines in Santa Barbara County.

The problem-riddled medical offices of Dr. Allen Thomashefsky have been allowed to reopen, with the closure order rescinded on Tuesday by Santa Barbara Public Health Officer Dr. Charity Dean. A chain of hepatitis C infection that was linked to problems with the doctor’s sterilization procedures caused the office closure on March 19. The offices will operate under infection-control practices monitored by both a consultant and Public Health officials.

election 2015

Mirroring statewide trends, Santa Barbara Unified School District students produced lackluster scores on newly rolled-out standardized tests recently. But that wasn’t particularly surprising, considering the circumstances. Replacing fill-inthe-bubble traditions, the new tests — taken on computers for the first time — are designed to sync with Common Core teaching methods that focus more deeply on layers of critical thinking and problem solving. “[Initiated in 2013, Common Core] is a new way of thinking, and this testing reflects that,” said school board president Ed Heron. “Students must give and support their opinions. The test is a lot harder and more specific, a whole new system of judging success in school.”

At Santa Barbara High School, for example, 32 percent of 485 students tested met or exceeded standards in math. For English standards met or exceeded, the percentage was 52 of 518 students. Using the scores as the district’s “new baseline,” Heron added that educators can now zero in on improvements in the classroom as teachers continue to adapt to Common Core methods.

In related news, a Senate bill (SB 172) to suspend the California High School Exit Exam for three years while it gets a makeover sits on Governor Jerry Brown’s desk.

Another relict of pre-Common Core educational standards, the exit exam represents a hurdle students must pass before graduation. Brown has until October 11 — Keith Hamm to pass or veto the legislation.

The former manager of the North County jail project received $467,000 in a settlement with the county after he sued his former employer for wrongful termination and discrimination. Grady Williams, who is now retired as a condition of the settlement, was fired in 2013 while fighting severe cancer purportedly for using “PE” (professional engineer) in his title when he is accredited in another state. In January, Judge Donna Geck reinstated him to managing much more minimal jobs while maintaining his roughly $150,000 a year in salary and benefits.

CIty According to the latest statistics from Santa Barbara City College, 2,518 of the 18,340 credit and noncredit students enrolled this fall are either international or come from out of state. Another 4,230 come from California but outside the school district boundaries of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. Out-of-state and international students have become a growing community concern, given Santa Barbara’s exceptionally tight rental market, and school officials are under pressure from certain educational activists to lower the cap on such students.

Even though Santa Barbara is now weathering the hottest drought on record, Santa Barbara County flood-control workers are beginning creek cleanup efforts in anticipation of possible El Niño floods. Rattling City Hall’s cage has been Leo Martinez, a former city councilmember who owns property abutting Sycamore Creek. City public works officials state the creek can’t handle a 100-year flood but is better able now to handle flows of greater volume since three bridges have been rebuilt, creating greater height and width for any torrential waters to flow.

The Santa Barbara City Council gave the green light to engaging in talks with the Montecito Water District to operate Santa Barbara’s now-under-construction desalination plant as a regional facility. City water managers are still bristling at the millions of dollars they claim the Montecito district stiffed

them for when the desalination plant was first built in the 1990s, but clearly Montecito’s millions could go a long way in softening the $55 million cost to rebuild the plant and the millions more to operate it. The Carpinteria Valley Water District has also expressed some interest in participating in such a regional endeavor. How much water Montecito wants, when, and at what price remain questions with no answers.

COuNty Organizers with CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy) issued a nine-page report on the eve of California Agricultural Labor Relations Board hearings on farm field conditions throughout the Santa Maria Valley, detailing what they describe as prevalent wage theft, long hours, and substandard working conditions. According to surveys taken of 300 field workers in Santa Maria and Guadalupe between this May and August, nearly 25 percent reported getting injured on the job, and 72 percent of them said they continued to work despite the injuries.

Twenty-five percent reported a discrepancy in what they thought they should get paid and what they actually were paid. Many claimed having to work through their breaks.

Shortly after the county supervisors pressed the Sheriff’s Office about shortcomings in County Jail’s health care last week, the Ombudsman program, which hears inmate complaints, was put on hold temporarily.

Undersheriff Barney Melekian said they will meet with the volunteers, who work with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Southern California, to “sit down and develop protocol.” Ombusdman James Robertson, however, argued they have had several conversations and exchanged emails with jail staff about inmate concerns.

he City of Santa Barbara recently settled a lawsuit with Latino voting-rights advocates by changing from at-large to by-district elections, as a way to promote diversity on the City Council.

hotel on carp Bluffs?

The community of Carpinteria is girding for the grand unveiling of the biggest development proposal to hit the much-cherished bluffs in years, including a 154room hotel, 45 single family homes, and 40 units of rental housing, plus 11 units of live-work space. The development plans — slated for the 27-acre parcel now occupied by the driving range and farm fields between City Hall and the Venoco plant — are strictly conceptual with nothing submitted yet for environmental review.

A team of developers, including Jack Theimer along with architect Brian Cearnal and land-use agent Ken Marshall, hope to get a good read of the community response at a joint meeting of the Carpinteria City Council and Planning Commission. In addition, the conceptual plans call for an 8,000-square-foot hall for community meetings — much needed in Carpinteria — plus exercise and gym space and a 2.3-acre farm featuring “farm to fork” produce, not to mention a nine-hole “St. Andrews Himalayan” golf course. None of the structures would exceed two stories in height, and about 500 parking spaces would be provided underground.

Already the Carpinteria Valley Association has come out against the proposal, calling it too big and intense. The land in question is zoned primarily for residential, but the other proposed uses are allowed. City zoning is silent, however, as to how much of each is allowed, meaning it’s up to the discretion of elected and appointed decision makers to make the call. While Theimer is well-known in Santa Barbara development and political circles, the real developers are Neil Mehta out of Fullerton and Bradley M. Hall out of Beverly Hills. Three years ago, Theimer initiated efforts to develop a new hotel on another portion of the Carpinteria Bluffs, but that — Nick Welsh plan quickly fizzled.

Blackout Blues Edison Briefs City on Grid Repairs

T

by t y l e r h ay d e N

he timing couldn’t have been much worse for Southern California Edison. Just a few days before company managers were scheduled to update the Santa Barbara City Council on efforts to repair the downtown power grid following a yearlong spate of blackouts, Chapala Street went dark during the Friday evening dinner rush. Restaurants emptied, traffic crept through lightless intersections, and firefighters rescued 10 shoppers from Macy’s elevators.

This Tuesday’s council presentation marked six months since Edison, prompted by organized pressure from business owners and city officials, pledged to spend $12 million improving Santa Barbara’s aging electric system. District Manager Alicia Pillado said that so far Edison has replaced a number of vaults, put the Modoc substation back in service, created circuit ties, and replaced switches, among other projects. New transformers will soon be put in, she said, and automation systems installed.

Downtown Santa Barbara has experienced four unplanned outages in 2015 to date, Pillado explained. Three of those occurred along the same circuit, and two lasted approximately 24 hours. During Fiesta celebrations, Mayor Helene Schneider stated, an overburdened line nearly killed power for blocks. “Wow,” she said. “That really could have been quite a situation.”

Santa Barbara ranked among the worst performing of Edison’s 35 coverage districts in 2014 in terms of outage frequency and duration, records show. Since 2009, it has often fallen in the bottom 10. Equipment failure accounted for nearly 60 percent of blackouts last year. Councilmembers iterated more than once that the South Coast is at the end of Edison’s transmission line, and that the city’s 50-plus-year-old underground infrastructure is crumbling at an accelerating rate.

To address those concerns, Pillado said Edison is in the process of deciding on and implementing a “long-term reliability” project that would drastically improve the downtown grid. Edison is reviewing four possible plans of attack, she said. Two would involve “a lot of impact for a long time,” meaning large amounts of construction and longterm street closures. Final cost estimates were not yet available.

Schneider asked at what point the city

would be able to offer its druthers on what plan is chosen. Pillado responded that the final decision is up to Edison and Santa Barbara would only be informed after that fact, but that city staff could provide feedback on the phasing of the work, whether it would take 3-5 years or 5-10 years. Construction isn’t scheduled to begin until 2017, she said.

Schneider requested that staff be part of the discussions before the choice was made.

Councilmember Bendy White expressed worry that no one at City Hall seems to have a firm grasp of the ins and outs of Santa Barbara’s electrical system. The downtown outages are just a piece of the puzzle, he said, “and we don’t know how big the puzzle is. …

We’ve got some real deficits here.”White said he noticed a lack of transparency between Edison and the city. Ongoing communication, and more of it, would go a long way in solving the problem, he said.

Jerry Brown with the World Business Academy, a Santa Barbara–based think tank promoting renewable energy sources, spoke about Santa Barbara’s pressing need for local energy generation. He touted microgrid and storage systems that harness solar power and highlighted the South Coast’s “vulnerable” connection to the rest of the state.

Attached as an appendix to a 2014 presentation to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Edison describes “reliability concerns” with the two 220-kilovolt transmission lines that snake from its Santa Clara node to Goleta. Both lines run along towers located in terrain where landslides can be caused “by heavy rainfall (e.g.

1997-98 El Niño condition) and frequent fires,” the report says.

Should one of those towers fall or the lines otherwise be compromised, more than 80,000 South County customers would lose power until emergency sources kicked in, but such backup would not be enough to carry the area’s full load. “Long term outages could occur for several weeks” as repairs were made in inaccessible backcountry, Edison stated.

The utility is awaiting approval from the CPUC to begin replacing and retrofitting its backup lines and systems, including the “peaker plant” in Goleta, which is described by its operators as a land-based, watercooled jet engine that turns on during peak hours. That overall project is expected to cost more than $51 million. n

art or Obscene?

‘Buy Sexual’ Artwork Creates Controversy

F

by k e l s e y B r u g g e r

ollowing a stir among county insiders over a provocative piece of artwork that was taken down from the Betteravia Government Center in Santa Maria last week by Bob Nelson —chief of staff to Supervisor Peter Adam — the CAPP (County Art in Public Places) committee voted Monday to move the piece from the front foyer to a more discreet location in the county building.

Last Tuesday, under the direction of Adam, Nelson took down the Steve Olson piece — which reads “BUY SEXUAL” on top of red-wallpapered “69.99” price tags —and put it in a closet because he found it “obscene” and inappropriate for a government building. Late Friday afternoon, county staff put the piece back up, where it will stay until the commission makes the final decision at a special meeting on Thursday, before the exhibit’s opening reception on Saturday.

On Monday, John Hood, a fine arts professor at Allan Hancock College who coordinated the exhibit and sits on the Arts Commission, apologized to the committee because the artwork was not one of the pieces the members reviewed when they approved a sample of the exhibit. The piece is from LOVE + GUTS, a group of skateboarding-inspired artists whose work has been shown all over the world for the past decade.

Hood said he was a little shocked when he unwrapped the piece in question upon arriving in Santa Maria — after picking the pieces up in Los Angeles—because it was different from the one the committee approved. He said he realized people might take issue with the piece in such a public venue, but after a long day of driving, Hood decided to put the artwork up for the time being.

The piece, which was made a decade ago by skater icon and internationally recognized artist Steve Olson, is about the commodification of sex and its prevalence in TV and social media, Hood said. “We can’t avoid it,” Hood added. He went on to

say Olson believes “it’s just words,” but, he added,“we all know what words can do.”

LOVE + GUTS is also currently showing art in Spain, and Hood said he believed the exhibit would bring the work of wellknown artists, such as Pat Ngoho, Christian Hosoi, Peggy Oki, and Steve Caballero, to a small agriculture community.

A few committee members were adamant in their opposition to censorship but acknowledged they might not have approved the piece for the exhibit in the government building had it come before them in the first place.

To the surprise of at least one committee member, District Attorney Joyce Dudley showed up to the meeting of 20 or so. She didn’t speak, but in an interview after the meeting, Dudley said she thought the piece was a poor choice for the lobby because the concept of buying sexuality parallels human trafficking. Second, Dudley said she was concerned bisexual employees would feel the piece created a hostile work environment in the county building.

On the flipside, Arts Commission chair Gerardo Ayala reasoned art is sometimes controversial. He likened the issue to an incident earlier this year when SBCC art students took down a teepee that saw opposition from Native American campus members.“I am not denying the piece is offensive to people in the community,” Ayala said, but he argued that a conversation about the piece could be beneficial. After the vote, Ayala said he was happy the committee decided to keep the piece in the show.

Nelson, on the other hand, expressed disappointment. He hoped the Arts Commission would deny the committee’s recommendation on Thursday, but he would not comment about whether he would take further action if they did not do so.

Ginny Brush, the Arts Commission’s executive director, noted their guidelines needed to be updated so that only staff could remove a piece. The committee voted to create an ad hoc committee to review the bylaws. n

Of cats and dogs

Animal-lover volunteers congregated at the supervisors’ meeting on Tuesday to argue that their services are an essential component to Animal Services, known for its long-term troubles. Their input was part of an update to the supervisors about efforts to revamp Animal Services (operating under Public Health), which was picked apart by a third party earlier this year.

Thus far, Public Health Director Dr. Takashi Wada told the supervisors the department has set up an oversight committee — made up of county staff and volunteers with BUNS (Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter), ASAP (Animal Shelter Assistance Program), and CAPA (Companion Animal Placement Assistance), among other animal rescue groups — as well as started the hiring process for a vet technician, a director of shelter medicine, a behavior consultant, and an operations position.

Success varies considerably across the county’s three shelters. In Santa Barbara, there is a live-release rate of 95 percent of cats and 99 percent of dogs, whereas the Santa Maria rate is 76 percent for cats and 82 percent for dogs.

As far as the oversight committee, Supervisor Salud Carbajal said he has become aware of a paradox that exists where some volunteers feel they cannot speak candidly and critically of staff for fear of retaliation. He suggested they get a cup of coffee outside of the formal meeting.

Supervisor Doreen Farr brought up the possibility of privatizing — or partially privatizing — the department, which was at the top of the list of remedies. “I understand you are trying to grapple with it, but that’s something we need to have an update on,” Farr said. Public Health staff are to return to the board in January.

Angela Rockwell, who is the executive director of ASAP, thanked the supervisors for recognizing volunteer services potential is “limitless” and said she hoped the department would eventually have a model that considers volunteers as full part— Kelsey Brugger ners.

Montecito Fire check

T

by k e i t h h a M M hat trace of precipitation earlier this week certainly didn’t hurt droughtravaged Santa Barbara, but at a press conference Tuesday midmorning, just as the last few rain clouds dried up and blew away, Montecito Fire Protection District Chief Chip Hickman warned, “This is not the time to let our guard down because we’ve had a little inclement weather.”

Motioning to the desiccated mountainsides looming over district headquarters, Hickman said Santa Barbara’s front country and the Sierra foothills are the top two high-fire-hazard regions in all of Central and Southern California, as identified by federal wildfire experts.

Hickman then introduced James Rappuhn, a firefighter and field representative for AIG, an insurance company that provides extra layers of coverage for homeowners in neighborhoods where wildfire

potential is a fact of life or death. Hickman explained that since 2009, AIG—which has about 75 clients in the district—has been collaborating with Montecito Fire to “pretreat” high-traffic roadside areas — such as turnout hangouts and trailheads—with a “nontoxic and biodegradable” spray-on fire retardant called Phos-Chek. Crews then piled into AIG’s Wildfire Protection Unit truck—a Ford F-550 outfitted with a holding tank, hose, and generator—to douse the nearby Buena Vista trailhead with PhosChek. Hickman described the heavily vegetated area as “severely distressed,” with half its chaparral dead or dying.

In related news, Montecito Fire District has two of its engines and eight personnel in Amador and Calaveras counties fighting the Butte Fire. Also, in Northern California, Governor Brown issued a state of emergency in Lake and Napa counties for the Valley Fire. n

MARRIAGE

From Marriage Tune-up to Last Chance

Intensive Therapy

I WILL HELP YOU.

Opinions READ IT AND REAP: For reasons still unclear

angry poodle barbecue

to anyone but my therapist—and she’s not telling — I’ve always taken a dim view of special projects dedicated to “the children.”

Over the years, I’ve received thousands of press releases about various and sundry kids’ museum projects, and each one has activated my “bah humbug” button. Maybe I’m too in touch with my inner W.C. Fields, who got it at least half right with his,“Anyone who hates children and animals can’t be all bad.” Like many of you, I, too, was once a kid. But obviously unlike too many, I still retain the facilities to remember. Let’s leave it at this: If I was ever the “future” that we are repeatedly told the youth of today represent, few of us would ever have made it into the present. Given my Lord of the Flies proclivities, I consider myself lucky to have crawled out of my own past.

In a town where nonprofit fundraising is a high-stakes racket, I’ve long suspected such kid-focused projects have drawn a disproportionate number of individuals looking to feel way too good about themselves by doing way too little.

But this past Sunday, I and all my grumpy attitudes were given serious cause for pause.

I happened to pass by the downtown public library, where the movers and shakers were assembling to celebrate the grand opening of the new and improved downstairs kids’ wing in the offing since 2009. Yes, the obligatory giant scissors were on hand for the

Unchain Your Dog

ceremonial ribbon cutting. All the movers and shakers were milling about, sizing up the microphones and TV cameras with the

intense nonchalance of Olympic sprinters stretching and shaking their withers just

before crouching into their blocks. What made this event stand out, however, were the hundreds of kids on hand for the event. Did I say hundreds? By the end of the day, it would be thousands. And their families. Yes, there was free food, face painting, music, jugglers, and a sketch artist who allegedly draws the fastest caricature this side of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider — who boasts some seriously credible pipes—would belt out a few karaoke standards: “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” or the more contemporary “Let It Go,” from Frozen. Even more striking was the demographic spread of the crowd. It was decidedly not your typical Juan Crow assembly dominated by well-educated, civic-minded honkies. It was 50 shades of brown, pink, and white, with even some black thrown in, making it the most ethnically diverse gathering Santa Barbara has seen since Fiesta.

Admittedly, I’m a big sucker for libraries.

When I was a kid, I would go to the library with my father. It was one of the few things we did together with any regularity, and the trips there and back were uniformly terrifying. In person, my father was reserve, intelligence, and dignity wrapped into one intensely, quietly good-looking package. When Gregory

Peck played Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, it was my father whom Peck really

wished he could be. But with nine loud, hungry, out-of-control mouths to feed—never consulting with my mother on the matter, my father was always surprised the last one of us was not, in fact, the very last — my father had his demons. During the drives to and from, he would quickly slip into a white-hot reverie of the most soul-searing profanity I still have yet to hear equaled. There was plenty of blood, lots of Jesus, several more bodily fluids, a little bit of Christ, and a few obscure saints thrown in for good measure. Eventually, I would summon the courage to ask if “everything” was all right. About this time, he would also be driving down the middle of the oncoming lane, his theory being this made us more visible — hence safer — to unobservant motorists who might otherwise smash into us. It apparently worked; he never got in an accident.

In response, my father would fix me with an anguished rictus grin that was somehow meant to reassure. It never did. It was always a matter of huge suspense whether we’d make it to our destination. We always did. As a result, I am hardwired to regard libraries as places of death-defying sanctuary.

Like my father, I am a shameless reading addict, forever on some binge and bender.

Books remain very much my first drug of choice, though I’m still searching for number two. Reading and writing are mundane miracles, an amazing form of collective

magic by which otherwise arbitrary scribbles are assigned a range of prescribed — though equally arbitrary — sounds. These are then combined in a host of specific ways, conjuring forth a range of meanings that enable us all to read each other’s minds and to hopscotch through the centuries. Talk about sorcery. In this context, libraries function as the equivalent of time machines, and public libraries allow all of us free passage.

With this in mind, I was quick to extricate my head from my rectum on the matter of civic projects special to kids. The downstairs of the library — once the repository of old newspapers and microfiche machines and a resting place for those seeking solace from the din of their inner voices — has now been transformed into a tremendously inviting place for kids. It manages to be cozy yet expansive, four times the size of the previous upstairs kids’ section but filled with spaces intimately designed for play, discovery, and exploration. The bookshelves themselves seem lower and bigger, hence more aggressively accessible. Half a million people visit the library a year, probably making it the number one downtown destination. Of those, 40 percent are kids. Last year, 4,500 kids got help with their homework there. Think how many more it might be in the new digs this year. Anyone who hasn’t checked it out already should do so. Hopefully the ride there won’t be quite as hairy as mine.

Dana Golden

11/16/60 – 08/26/15

Dana Golden of Santa Barbara passed away peacefully on August 26, 2015. She was a light that shined bright throughout the community and was so absolutely loved and adored by all who knew her. Dana spread love, kindness, compassion, laughter, gratitude and grace everywhere she went.

Her beautiful soul has now joined her son, Derek Keller, as an angel in heaven. She is survived by her precious grandson, Daniel.

Please join us in celebrating Dana’s beautiful life on October 11, at 11am at Leadbetter Beach, Santa Barbara.

Judy Campbell-Clark 08/24/50 – 09/07/15

Judy Campbell-Clark, a longtime member of both the artist and Spiritualist communities in Santa Barbara and achieving much success in both worlds, passed away in Cottage Hospital on September 7, 2015, after being diagnosed with and treated for leukemia. She was surrounded by loved ones, and her passing was very peaceful. She will be greatly missed by the many people who knew and loved her.

Born to James and Janet (MacKellar) Clark, Judy was proud of being a fifth-generation Santa Barbaran and spent her whole life here in the city she loved so much. Her family history was very meaningful to her, and she spent many years living in the house built in 1925 by her architect grandfather, Alexander MacKellar. Even before graduating from Santa Barbara High School, she was drawn to working with leather and had apprenticed

with a local craftsman. Before long, the combination of innate skills and a passion to discover her own talents as a leather artist led her to a life of creating beautiful and useful works of art. From the days of the first Yes Store through the era of the Renaissance Faires and beyond, Judy continued to construct her unique handbags and belts, all beautifully designed and cleverly engineered.

Eventually, she was accepted into all of the nation’s most prestigious craft shows, including the Smithsonian Show in Washington, D.C., several times. As dedicated as she was to exhibiting her work at these events, while there she always made new friends with fellow artists and customers from various parts of the country who were charmed by her beautiful spirit and joyous sense of humor.

It was at one such show in San Francisco in 1996 that she first met a jeweler, Greg Campbell, who would become her husband.

They were married in 2000 and continued to work at their respective crafts, often traveling together to shows around the country.

Judy was by nature a seeker and loved to travel to new places and experience the world around her.

It was these very qualities that would allow her life to take a new direction.

While walking her beloved dog Seamus one Sunday eight years ago, she was invited into the Spiritualist Church of The Comforter.

She immediately felt that she had found her spiritual home and became very involved with the church. After a rigorous course of studies and exams, she became a licensed minister and was eventually appointed pastor.

In 2011, she was granted the titles of Ordained Minister and National Spiritualist Teacher by the National Spiritualist Association of Churches, and also recently became a Certified Medium. Both she and her congregation shared the joy, love, creative vision and uplifting energy that she brought to the church community.

Judy will always be remembered for her creativity and wonderful sense of humor and her great love of dogs, as well as for being a teacher, counselor and gifted medium.

She is survived by her husband Greg, brother Tim, her new dog Rennie, extended family and countless friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Spiritualist Church of the Comforter, 1028 Garden Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

A celebration of Judy’s life will be held at a later date.

Margaret Elizabeth “Betty” Gallow Bazzi 03/07/18 – 09/08/15

Margaret Elizabeth “Betty” Gallow Bazzi passed away in the early hours of September 8. She went, as she would say it, “to the next world” in the same way she lived her life in this world, with peace, compassion, love for all, zest for life and a deep spirituality that was an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She was born to Walter and Elizabeth Gallow in Winnipeg, Canada. She never lost her love of the “prairie” and to her last days fondly recalled her love of the winters she experienced as a child growing up. When her sister moved to Santa Barbara to marry, her mother encouraged her to follow. She did and eventually met Joseph Bazzi, the son of Italian immigrants. They had three children and were married for almost 57 years at the time of Joe’s death in 2007. Betty spent the remainder of her life in Santa Barbara.

Betty’s life was taken up with her family and the other great love of her life...her art.

A lifelong self-taught artist, her paintings have been exhibited around Santa Barbara and Goleta throughout the years. She was a charter member of the Goleta Art Association and participated in Gallery 113 since its founding. for over forty years, she attended art classes through the Adult Education, and made many lifelong friendships with fellow local artists. Her plein air watercolor landscapes of local scenes beautifully captured the scenic appeal of the Santa Barbara area.

Betty was an active person, iceskating and playing softball in her youth, swimming in the ocean in her adult years, riding her bicycle until she was 86, and making a daily loop around the block with her walker and regularly attending the Goleta Senior Center dances into her nineties. Above all, Betty was a beautiful and gracious soul who blessed all who met her with her warm heart, love of life and gratefulness.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Joseph; son, Dean Paul Bazzi; parents, Walter and Elizabeth Gallow; and sister,

Miriam “Myrnie” Boaden.

She is survived by her daughter Linda Bernson of Santa Barbara; son and daughter-in-law Craig and Gail Bazzi of Silverton, Oregon; grandchildren, Rachel Bernson, Jessica (John) Gill, Tyler Bazzi, Grace (Nathanael) Parson, and Julianne (David) Reeher; and great-grandchildren, Alexa Sanchez, Dillon Fogarty, Caitlin Gill, Lauren Gill, Solomon Parson and Rainer Parson.

In lieu of gifts/flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care of Santa Barbara, whose wonderful staff provided such compassionate care in her last days. Donate online at www. vnhcsb.org or by mail to VNHC Foundation, 509 East Montecito Street, Suite 200 Santa Barbara, CA 93103.

Martha Conant Karoff

Martha Conant Karoff died peacefully and with grace at her home in Santa Barbara, CA, on September 3, 2015, at the age of 79. Martha was supported during an extended period of declining health by the love of her family— seventeen strong—and her many, many friends in Santa Barbara, in West Newton and Boston, MA, and beyond. Martha was born in Keene, New Hampshire, to Kenneth G. Conant and Mary Ellen Hartnett Conant. Martha graduated with honors from Keene High School and attended Brandeis University (’58), where she met and married her husband of 58 years, Peter Karoff, who survives her.

Martha was the first woman president of the Neighborhood Club in West Newton, and the founding board chair of New Repertory Theatre in Watertown, MA. In 2014, to celebrate its 30th anniversary, New Rep established the Karoff Award for Lifelong Leadership, with Martha as its first recipient. Part of her New Rep legacy was its first-ever fundraiser, with a scene from A.R. Gurney’s “The Dining Room,” staged around Martha’s dining room table. Martha was known as the “unofficial Mayor” of West Newton Hill and served on the

board of the All Newton Music School and the New Arts Center.

In Santa Barbara, Martha was a member of the CAMA Woman’s Board and Social Venture Partners. She participated over many years in several spirited book and bridge clubs on both the East and West coasts.

For Martha, family was everything, and gatherings over Christmas and Thanksgiving—often with 30+ at the table—along with years of glorious summers on Martha’s Vineyard and Chappaquiddick, made for great joy and enduring memories. At one especially memorable night in 1985, Martha was given a surprise party celebrating her 100 Years of Motherhood. Other standouts were annual Halloween parties in West Newton, where, for 40 years, Martha and Peter served popcorn and cider to what grew to more than 700 trick-or-treaters. She will always be remembered by her children and grandchildren for demanding, but never getting, Christmas lists before Halloween.

Martha had a remarkable authenticity as a person who cared, listened to others, and was an empathetic and gifted friend, leader, and mentor. She will be deeply missed by Peter; her daughters Deborah Ann Karoff of Santa Barbara, CA; Lorinda Karoff of Brooklyn, NY; Rebecca Karoff of Madison, WI; and son Thomas Michael Karoff of Armonk, NY; and their devoted spouses, Anna DiStefano, Jef Jeffrey Younger, Brad Wolbert, and Pamela Furtsch. Martha was in awe of the accomplishments of her children and immensely proud of her seven talented grandchildren ranging in age from 7 to 23: Lauren, Sarah, Devon, Sophie, Jacob, Emma, and Kaeli. Martha also leaves behind her brother- and sister-in-law, Richard M. Karoff and Sandra Manzella, along with nephews, their wives, and children, and a sister, Betsy Conant Drouin, and brother-in-law Raymond Drouin, and their children.

She dearly loved her family, her home, her community, art, music, wooden jigsaw puzzles, and knitting gorgeous sweaters. Most of all she loved her life with her soulmate of 58 years, Peter.

We wish you, we wish you a merry, merry … life With hue and cry and joy, the floribunda of family And all those roses that tell of being and loving a wife.

A celebration of Martha’s life will be held on October 17, 2015, in Santa Barbara, and on

Support Planned Parenthood

I

was in my mid-twenties, fresh out of grad school, looking for my first job, when I suddenly discovered a lump in my breast. I had no insurance, no income, and I was terrified. I knew of Planned Parenthood from Take Back the Night, so I went there. I was treated with the utmost dignity by every staff person, examined by master of kindness Dr. Charles Bradley, and ultimately referred to a specialist.

I was fortunate; it turned out to be just a cyst.

But the biggest part of my good fortune was being able to go to Planned Parenthood. Ninety-seven percent of their services detect breast and cervical cancer; prevent unintended pregnancy; test for and treat STDs, including HIV; and educate youth and adults.

Make sure the next young woman who finds a lump in her breast has somewhere to go. Please support Planned Parenthood.

O

n August 25, with no warning, Governor Brown signed a 25-year gaming compact crafted over several years in closed-door negotiations with the Santa Ynez Chumash tribe. Two days later, the county learned this in a press release announcing the roughly 300-page compact.

One day later, the county was informed that on the following Tuesday the compact would be reviewed by Senate and Assembly committees. The county, allowed two minutes to comment, stated in part,“The County Board of Supervisors has not had an opportunity to fully review, analyze, or consider taking a formal position.” The next day, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson managed the approval of the bill on the Senate floor.

The public and the county were eliminated from input in this six-day railroading of the public process.

Government by the people, for the people? The public had no chance to understand this compact. Our state

government eliminated us. The principles upon which our government is formed were violated.

The governor and Hannah-Beth Jackson just sold us down the river. Will it happen again?

On a related issue, the tribe, in letters to the editor, advertisements, and at its website, stated the current expansion of the casino is not to increase gaming. In fact, the multiyear negotiations for this compact raises it from 2,000 to 2,500 gaming devices. The current casino expansion, from the day it was planned, is for — Mike Brady, Santa Ynez increased gaming.

¶ An Afternoon with Bill Moyers, set for the Granada Theatre on October 4, has been canceled. And the showing of Sideways in the Friday Nite Wine Flix series, noted in The Week last issue, took place on September 11, not the 14th. ¶ In the minimum-wage news story last week [independent.com/cityminwage], though Service Employees International (SEIU) and United Food and Commercial Workers unions support the city’s Raise the Wage Campaign, a separate SEIU local is affiliated with the statewide ballot initiative. ¶ Readers Annette and William Colbert wrote in to correct our “Evangelical Rock Star” news story from last week [independent.com/RobertBarron]. The new auxiliary bishop, Robert Barron, was rector of Mundelein Seminary and a visiting professor at Notre Dame University. He replaces Msgr. Michael Jennett, the episcopal vicar who is retiring. The word to describe the Ordination Mass is “concelebration.”

Louie Villegas passed away peacefully at his home on September 4 at the age of 94. He was born June 21, 1921, in Santa Barbara on E. Ortega St. to Romualdo and Patrocinio Villegas. Louie, the oldest of five children, grew up in Santa Barbara and Lompoc, where he graduated from Lompoc High School. In 1938, the family briefly returned to Santa Barbara but later moved to Chihuahua, Mexico, the hometown of Romualdo and Patrocinio.

After World War II broke out, both Louie and his brother Mike returned to the U.S. in 1942 to fight in the war. Louie enlisted in the navy, first serving as a gunner on the USS Gillespie. One of his first assignments was protecting a convoy of 100 ships that was heading to Africa to support General George Patton’s forces. On a later mission to Alaska, after delivering 900,000 gallons of gasoline, his ship was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and Louie was wounded and thrown overboard.

He was rescued from the freezing water by a Russian fishing boat that happened to be in the area.

Had he not been immediately rescued, he would have died within minutes. After he recovered from his wounds, Louie continued to serve in the war in the South Pacific campaign. He was discharged in 1945.

Louie returned to Chihuahua to propose marriage to Elvira Vega whom he had met before

independent.com

leaving to serve in the war. They married in 1946 and moved to Santa Barbara where they have lived ever since. Louie began working at Smardan & Hatcher Plumbing Supply as a truck driver and warehouse worker. His outgoing personality, organizational skills and bilingualism allowed him to eventually become the warehouse foreman. He retired from Smardan & Hatcher after a 30 year career.

Louie was a very friendly, social person. He was proud of his children and greatly enjoyed family get-togethers for special holidays, birthdays or barbecues along with annual family vacations to Mexico and other destinations. He especially loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were a constant source of joy. He had many friends, and he highly valued those friendships. During his retirement years, Louie could be found at McDonald’s every morning discussing sports and the world’s problems with an everchanging group of fellow retirees.

Louie is preceded in death by his brothers, Mike and Frank Villegas. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Elvira Villegas, his sisters Juventina Aranda and Rachel De Alba, his daughter Luz “Lucy” Villegas Buckelew (Pablo), son Luis A. Villegas (Tina), six grandchildren (Rebecca Borgioli (Andrea), Paloma Arnold (Matthew) Bianca Vega (Joey), Ariana Alvarez (Alfredo), Maritza Best (Sean), and Alessandra Villegas (Carlos), 10 great-grandchildren, numerous cousins, nephews and nieces.

Louie, the patriarch of the family, will be greatly missed.

The family wants to thank Dr. Michael Bernstein, for his 15 years of thoughtful caring for Louie, and Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice Care’s terrific services, especially those of Elizabeth Swede.

The Rosary will be held on Thursday, September 17, at 7:30 p.m. and the funeral Mass on Friday, September 18, at 10:00 a.m., both at St. Raphael’s Church, 5444 Hollister Ave., Goleta, CA. Arrangements are entrusted to McDermott-Crockett Mortuary.

Santa Barbara’s Pre-Trump?

NAME THAT POLITICIAN: Who does this

politician sound like? Loud, rude, boisterous, insulting, and given to ethnic slurs, but nevertheless commanding the political stage, backed by a strong following of voters, who saw him as a fearless gadfly, a champion of the people.

Some compare him to presidential candidate Donald Trump. But Trump, for all his bellowing, is nothing like a member of Santa Barbara’s City Council of the 1970s, Gus Chavalas.

Chavalas, born in Greece in 1894 and retired rich from his Bay Area car dealership, charged onto the Santa Barbara scene at age 75, full of accusations that the local garbage company was corrupt.

A gruff bear of a man, Chavalas shouted and shouted at the City Council in the late 1960s, sometimes ejected from the chambers

by Mayor Don MacGillivray, who called police.

Eventually, garbage officials got indicted.

The indictments were thrown out of court, but Chavalas got elected in 1969, and the city got a new garbage company. And he kept on shouting down anyone who had something else to say, whether it be fellow councilmembers or department heads.

He was known, during at least one City Council debate, to call fellow councilmember Leo Martinez a “dirty Mexican.” Martinez, now living in New Mexico, told me he just saw Chavalas as an angry old man and let it slide.

He was free with other ethnic slurs. But you crossed swords with him at your risk.

But beyond his supposed good-government blustering, there was a darker side to Chavalas, known only to few at City Hall.

This week I talked to several city officials I knew from that era. Chavalas, it seems, had a habit of going into City Hall when it was closed on weekends, and when he found one particular woman working overtime, “He would pinch her breasts, leaving dark bruises,” according to one former official, who learned about it much later from the woman.

I knew the woman, a sweet person, and it makes me angry to learn that she suffered abuse from this bully. She never reported it.

She’s dead now, and may she rest in peace.

He was well-known as enjoying hugging women workers at City Hall. Whether they enjoyed it is something else. But finally the stories of his behavior with women employees got to the point where some councilmembers decided that something had to be done, another former official told me this week.

Blow the whistle on the abuser? Turn him in? Well, no. “Mayor [David] Shiffman was delegated to take Chavalas for a ride and have a talk with him,” a former city official told me.

Shiffman asked city administrator Richard Thomas to come along.

So they picked up Chavalas. Shiffman, according to my informant, turned to Thomas and passed the ball. “Go ahead, Dick.”

I knew Chavalas, and it’s hard to imagine him meekly apologizing and promising to

change his ways. But maybe he did. Chavalas, Shiffman, and Thomas are dead, so I can’t ask them.

Chavalas finally decided not to run for reelection. But there was one last ugly chapter in his life before he left office in 1979.

While driving on upper State Street in 1976, he hit and killed a 69-year-old woman. Her family sued for a reported $2 million, claiming that despite poor eyesight, he was not wearing his required eyeglasses and was reckless and negligent. It’s not known the result of the suit.

Charged with misdemeanor manslaughter, he was fined $940 and gave up his license. He died in 1987 at 93.

As for Trump, can he really get the Republican presidential nomination? One party activist in Iowa quoted by the New York Times compared him to “the bad boy you date over the summer before returning to college.”

DANCE w o r k s

Does BroaDway way Choreographer Adam Barruch Reinvents Sweeney Todd

by Charles Donelan • Photos by David Bazemore

A

sk anyone in theater, and they’ll tell you— you audi-

ence is everything. Without people in the seats who get what you do, there’s no reason for the show to go on, and little or nothing to inspire you. On the other hand, once you find your audience and connect with them, everything flows from there.

On two recent Fridays, I joined a specialized and self-selecting dance audience of about 50 for Friday Club, a program of Dianne Vapnek’s DANCEworks residency project at the Lobero Theatre. Each year DANCEworks brings a major choreographer from the world of contemporary dance to set up in the theater and rehearse a new project onstage for a month.

At the end of the month, the company performs the piece as a work in progress in a pair of shows on Friday and Saturday.

This year’s performances are on September 25-26, and the project is an unusual one. As the members of the Friday Club have witnessed, choreographer Adam Barruch is a unique talent even within the highly eclectic context of contemporary dance, and his goal, which is to create a modern-dance version of Stephen Sondheim’s classic musical Sweeney Todd, straddles the boundary that divides contemporary dance’s sprawling universe from the typically more structured environment of professional musical theater. It’s an audacious move, and one that puts the young artist in an exposed position, vulnerable as only those caught between two worlds can be. Yet here in Santa Barbara, through DANCEworks and inside the Lobero, Adam Barruch has found his audience, and great things are flowing from there.

Like the folks who subscribe to master classes at the Music Academy of the West, the platinum pass purchasers at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, or the audience that attends the curator’s talks at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the DANCEworks Friday faithful are a highly informed, passionate bunch, and they usually know when something is really good. They are as excited as I have ever seen them about Barruch’s Sweeney, and the feeling must be quite contagious because it has spread as far as Canada. Margie Gillis, CM CQ, a legend in the modern dance world and a powerful advocate for human rights, has come to town as a mentor to Barruch and the dancers for the duration of the project.

Gillis met Barruch when he was at Juilliard, where she serves as an advisor to the choreography program, and her take on him is unequivocal. “I’m here because Adam is a genius, and I care deeply about the kind of emotion-based work that he’s doing in this project,” she told me, adding that she has “always been keen on movement that speaks to the inner soul while it forwards the narrative of character.”

According to Gillis, it’s her dedication to dance as a tool for humanity that drove her to fly to Santa Barbara and “get in the room with them and see what these dancers can do.” The effort that Gillis has made to be in Santa Barbara for DANCEworks 2015 may speak more loudly than her copious praise for Adam Barruch; her presence at rehearsal and then onstage with the performers during the Friday Club question-and-answer sessions sharpens the sense that we may be witnessing something that’s not only innovative but also potentially important.

SWEENEY’S COMPANY: Clockwise from left are Haylee Nichele, Jodi McFadden, Chelsea Bonosky, William D. Popp, Timothy Heck, Zachary McNally, Margie Gillis, CM CQ, Lily Ockwell, and Adam Barruch.

Sweeneymania HitS Santa BarBara So, the eyes of the dance world are on this project, but what about the theater crowd? Well, they seem equally fascinated by this particular Sondheim work this season. As many people already know, the DANCEworks project is not the only production of Sweeney Todd in Santa Barbara this fall. Ensemble Theatre Company’s artistic director, Jonathan Fox, will helm a fully staged theatrical version of the musical at the New Vic to open their season beginning on October 8.

It would be easy to read too much into what is essentially a happy coincidence, but one thing is certain: Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd is a bona fide masterpiece. There’s no more canonical work of American musical theater in the second half of the 20th century. Looking at Sondheim’s achievement as a whole, and leaving it up to the individual fan to choose his or her own favorite as his “best work,” it’s nevertheless inevitable to see Sweeney as the culmination of Sondheim’s major creative period of the 1970s. His string of five shows

from that decade—Company Company (1970), Follies (1971), A Little Night Music (1973), Pacific Overtures (1976), and Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1979) —strikes Ethan Mordden, the dean of Broadway historians, as “the only body of work to rival the Big Five of early Rodgers and Hammerstein.”

Long a favorite of musical theater aficionados, Sweeney even had a substantial Hollywood moment in 2007 when a masterful Johnny Depp performance in the lead ignited Tim Burton’s screen adaptation.

So how did a young choreographer like Adam Barruch get permission to completely reimagine such a valuable piece of intellectual property? There are two sides to the answer, and they meet in the middle, at the great composer’s New York townhouse. On one side, there’s Sondheim’s own predisposition toward innovative approaches to his work. The “Concept Production,” replete with “ghosts, narrators, and Bernadette Peters” is core enough to his sensibility to rate inclusion in

Curated by Jan Ziegler

Reception: Friday, September 18, 5–8 pm Panel Discussion: 6:30 pm A group exhibition of three local contemporary artists: Iben G. Vestergaard, Tom Post and Rosemarie C. Gebhart.

As the title Mood Swing suggests, each of the artists' work evokes a unique emotional response from the viewer.

From large abstract canvases verging on the edge of narration to ethereal and non-objective works, each is a commentary on our transitory moods from dark to joyful.

Barruch presented Sondheim with a synthesis of always ends after the initial production. The 2005 Broadway revival of Sweeney took place in a single three elements that cohere in what he refers to as the location — an insane asylum — and required that all show’s aura. These elements are: the actors play musical instruments. Leading man Michael Cerveris played guitar, Broadway legend Patti Abstract principles of movement drawn from LuPone played the tuba, and — wait for it, because contemporary dance this is the real kicker — the show made money. Lots of Psychology-based character development money. Enough to earn out a $3.5 million initial investthrough movement ment after just 19 weeks. It seems there is a potential “Phenomena,” which is Barruch’s preferred term for the representation of objects (like a razor), upside to letting new people run a little wild with your atmospheres (like smoke or rain), and physical reacpast work, at least if you are Stephen Sondheim.

taneously through a sequence of prone maneuvers as an experienced stage dancer might proceed through a series of steps. I think this is what Barruch is referring to when he says that he is bringing the abstract movement vocabulary of contemporary dance to the narrative demands of the Broadway musical. Where there were once steps to learn and “jazz hands” to flutter above them, there is now a whole new set of moves that go up, down, and sideways according to the emotional heat of the dramatic moment.

The danceworkS/ loBero mojo Seeing all this from a theater seat with the performers rehearsing on the Lobero stage reminds me that Dianne Vapnek conceived DANCEworks in consultation with the Lobero’s David Asbell as offering a special mojo that’s generally denied to choreographers — working the whole time in the theater space. When I ask if rehearsing onstage instead of in a studio makes a difference, the group’s collective “yes” resounds to the top of the fly tower.“There’s no adapting the piece to the space — that obstacle goes away,” said Barruch.“Ordinarily you work on a piece for a few weeks, and then you get to the theater and there’s this moment of ‘Oh no’ because things are never the way you imagine them from the studio.” The actors are eager to chime in on this subject, as well, citing the advantages of knowing exactly how much they will have to project to reach the rear of the room.

“We know it has to be big enough, and we develop a strong relationship to the energy of the room,” said Jodi McFadden, whose Broadway credits include Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, where she entered the stage on wires from the ceiling.

This development of the work on-site has been a part of Vapnek’s vision for DANCEworks from the beginning, and the impact on this particular production is already unmistakable. It also, according to Barruch, has a lot to do with Sweeney.“Sondheim wrote for the theater — that’s what his work is about, and that’s where it comes alive,” he said, adding that, “the warmth and scale of the Lobero are perfect for what we’re trying to do.”

For those intrepid theatergoers who plan to join the DANCEworks audience on Friday or Saturday night for Sweeney Todd at the Lobero, here’s what to expect. You will not get the whole play but rather a fair sample of its important musical numbers, including many songs you probably already know and love, including the beautiful “Green Finch and Linnet Bird,” the scary “Epiphany” of Fleet Street’s demon barber, and McFadden’s dazzling, fully sung and performed version of Barruch’s original “Worst Pies in London” routine, the bit that got the show rolling in the first place.

You will witness awe-inspiring movement and song from some of the most talented young performers in the world, and perhaps be present at the creation of a whole new direction for the musical, and that’s not an exaggeration. After all, Adam Barruch’s restlessness in the face of business as usual on Broadway is widespread, yet interest in the canon, as can be seen by the preponderance of revivals on Broadway this season, has never been greater. What DANCEworks has brought us could be the new way to reveal the depth of musical theater’s greatest compositions that everyone’s been looking for.

come from New York after appearing in a very unusual and successful show called Sleep No More. This immersive adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, which has been running continuously in New York’s McKittrick Hotel since 2011, may be the single most talked-about nontraditional theater event of the decade. Audiences enter the five stories and 100 rooms of the “theater” through a speakeasy and choose which characters to follow and which rooms to observe for themselves throughout the evening, with each spectator thus creating his or her own experience of the play.

Actors lucky enough to get caught up in the Sleep No More juggernaut of sold-out nights and ecstatic reviews were understandably eager to take more risks with form and presentation, and through Barruch’s preexisting creative partnership with Bonosky, who was also in the show, a new ensemble was born.

The actor playing Sweeney in this production, Popp, had a big hand in the creative process of Sleep No More, and he is just as excited about this role, citing the chance to “sing at full voice while moving at full velocity” as the opportunity that brought him to commit to Barruch’s project.

Popp’s enthusiasm reflects something larger that permeates the ensemble — a deep seriousness of purpose and authenticity that allows them to give Sondheim’s larger-than-life characters and fantastic mise en scène the kind of integrity required. Because, let’s face it, as great as Sweeney Todd is, no one wants to see a weak production of this difficult and often histrionic work. Talking to the Friday Club audience on September 11, Barruch cited the efforts of music director Kacey Link as key to the cast’s collective response to a situation that, in his words, “takes a challenging score full of trick notes, key changes, and tongue twisters and asks that the actors integrate singing it with the intense physicality of modern dance.”

Hybrid Cycad Love at Lotusland

Carpinteria

Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch “Some cycads are easy to grow, some are hard, but no matter what, they’re time-consuming,” said Paul Mills (pictured right) while repotting a rare hybrid cycad, which he’s grown from seed in Lotusland’s nursery. “It can take up to one and a half years for one leaf. That’s why there’s already folks lined up to pay over $1,000 for this plant!” A 20-year veteran of Montecito’s most amazing garden, Mills is assistant curator at Lotusland, where his job is to research and keep meticulous notes on all the plants in the collection.

This cycad will be one of many items at the annual Exceptional Plants: Lotusland Auction and Sale, happening this Saturday, September 19, 1:305:30 p.m. Other plants that will be auctioned or sold include giant euphorbias, rare aloes, and hybrid plants that are completely unique to Lotusland.

There will also be food, drinks, and, of course, the magical atmosphere.

“This is one of the best events we have here at the garden because it’s solely focused on the plants,” explained Mills.

Planned Parenthoood

Book Lovers of the World, Unite!

treasures are more expensive, and now that volunteers scan every new arrival for its resale value in the Amazon.com universe, fewer books are likely to fall through the cracks — like the $1,000 edition of Henry David Thoreau’s On Walden Pond that was retrieved after first getting chucked in the trash.

Great pains are taken to ensure no book meets its maker in the recycle bin until all efforts to find it a home have been exhausted. Some volumes, however, defy placement, such as encyclopedias and old law school papers.

Planned Parenthood has found itself in the hot seat in recent months over allegations — seized upon by political conservatives — of fetal-tissue marketing. That controversy, insistently denied by Planned Parenthood spokespersons, encouraged Santa Barbara’s supporters to donate even more enthusiastically than usual. “Many supporters have gone out of their way to express their support, solidarity, and gratitude for the vital health services we provide,” said spokesperson Julie Mickelberry.

F

or the last 40 years, book lovers, collectors, bibliophiles, antiquarians, page sniffers, and anyone remotely interested in books living within 100 miles of Santa Barbara have set their collective clocks to Planned Parenthood’s annual book sale. In terms of raw quantity, high quality, and ridiculously low prices, this 10-day event qualifies as the alpha and omega of used-book sales anywhere in California, let alone the South Coast.

Running September 18-27, the sale is now in year 41, with an openingnight celebration ($25 a ticket) taking place on Thursday, September 17, all at the Earl Warren Showgrounds.

To make this happen, finely honed teams of volunteers spend the better part of a year culling, categorizing, cleaning, and curating the roughly 100,000 books that get donated each year. Of that amount, about 50,000 wind up on the ocean of sales tables. There are more than 20 book categories, and the wares for each are painstakingly assembled by volunteers with a passion for the subject. Cookbooks and mysteries are perennial best sellers, but the local history table is usually overflowing with rare finds. Most trade paperbacks go for $1; hardcover best sellers are no more than $5.

t Whimsy Antiques in Carpinteria, a group of beginner and seasoned crafters are ready for some lively scissor wielding and hot glue gunning. They’ve gathered for the first class in a seven-month series of “creative retreats” curated by the store’s owner, Karen Clark, and will soon be creating a book-like sculpture called a “Petite Paper Garden.”

This week’s instructor, Julie Ippoliti, is a Los Angeles–based pro crafter who sells her work online and at craft shows. “A lot of art starts through crafts,” explained Ippoliti. “There are many artists that didn’t know they were artists until they started some small project and opened the door.”

Ippoliti met Clark through Instagram, where they have become fast friends through a mutual love of arts and antiques. “There has been a great and weird evolution of finding all these artistic people from all different backgrounds,” said Ippoliti. “We’re hoping these workshops will build that community.”

Clark credits social media with much of her success finding interested crafters. “I had no idea when I started Instagram that it was going to be a life-changer for our business,” said Clark, whose dedicated group of online followers often plans trips to her Whimsy store based solely on her profile postings.

“I’m an art educator in my heart,” explained Clark, who’s been teaching art and photography to kids and adults for 35 years. Her current series was inspired by similar creative retreats she’s attended around the country, some taught by crafting legends like Mary Engelbreit. “It’s such a nice experience to get together with like-minded women that just want to escape and have fun for an hour,” she said.

“We all need to nurture our creative sides.”

Annual BBQ

ontecito, Carpinteria, and Summerland boast many fine trails between them — the Cold Spring, Franklin, and Romero Canyon trails, to name a popular few.

While you’ve likely explored them, you may not realize that the clear tread and easy accessibility are thanks to the volunteer work of the Montecito Trails Foundation (MTF).

On Saturday, September 19, front-country footpath fans can show their gratitude for the 51-year-old organization by attending its annual fall BBQ at the Montecito Valley Ranch. The event kicks off at 7 a.m. with a trail run, followed by bike and horse rides in the morning, and a barbecue, dancing, music, and silent auction in the afternoon.

Formed in 1964 in the wake of the Montecito Riding and Hiking Trails As s o c i at i on ( w h i c h started in 1959), the MTF preserves history, improves and widens existing routes, and opens new ones. The donor-funded organization focuses much of its work on trails threatened by property disputes, encroaching foliage, or historical misuse and trashing. “People don’t realize how much effort it takes to keep the trails open,� said president Bobbi King. “The trails are part of our future and our kids’ future, and it really is something that we don’t want to lose.�

Recent projects included a major cleanup on the Cold Spring Trail, assistance in reopening Carpinteria’s Franklin Trail, and improving switchbacks on Montecito’s Buena Vista Trail, where Saturday’s trail excursions will take place. There’s also hope for making trails more equestrian-friendly in the future.

Tickets are $60 for members, $70 for nonmembers, and free for children 12 and younger. See montecitotrails foundation.info. —Richie DeMaria

Dons Win Big on Peabody Gridiron S.B. High Football Exerts Offensive Authority in 52-7 Rout of Channel Islands

C

paul wellman photos

by John Zant hristopher “Tick” Jellison did not run onto

the field at Peabody Stadium before the start of last Friday’s Santa Barbara High football game. He skipped. “That’s Tick’s personality,” Dons coach JT Stone said. “He’s skipping, or he’s doing backflips in the hallway. He’s our Energizer Bunny.”

Santa Barbara’s offense was ticking throughout the game, a 52-7 victory over the Channel Islands Raiders, and Jellison was involved from beginning to end. The 510, 175-pound junior returned the opening kickoff to the 41-yard line; he caught six passes, two of them for touchdowns; and he kicked the Dons’ last extra points.

“Tick’s definitely the best athlete we have,” said senior quarterback Brent Peus, who completed 20 of 27 passes for 244 yards. “He plays with a relentless energy that stays from the first quarter to the fourth. He’s a character, a funny guy, but he’s not rah-rah before a game. He’s very calm, and then his energy comes out on the field.”

Peus targeted several other reliable receivers during the course of the game. He launched other touchdown strikes to Mason Bigelow and Blake Kelley.“We have four very good receivers [also including Jeremiah Nicholson],” Jellison said. “We’ve been working together for three years. Try to double-team one of us, and somebody else is going to get open.”

The Dons also ran the ball effectively, alternating the straight-ahead action of Sean Babcock with the shifty scampers of Isai Figueroa. They averaged 53 points in their first two games, both victories on the road, and a sizable crowd came out to see if they could keep it going against Channel Islands. Tank tops were the fans’ garb of choice on a sultry evening, except for the football uniform that a junior-varsity player was too proud to remove.

“Before the game, we talked about how it was our last home opener at the stadium, and there’s been a long tradition to make everybody proud,” Peus said. Peabody Stadium, with its unique curving grandstand—it was built as a music bowl 90 years ago— is slated to undergo a $12.7-million makeover into a modern athletic complex. A drive is underway to raise the last $5 million in funding for the project.

Four more home football games remain during the 2015 regular season.

SCORES OF SCORES: Santa Barbara High’s quarterback Brent Peus (#16) tossed one of many completions (above) during the Dons’ rout of Channel Islands High, in which “Tick” Jellison (#20) scored two touchdowns (below), returned kickoffs, and kicked the extra points.

At halftime on Friday, the score was 33-0, and there was obvious evidence of deflation — not the footballs, but the visiting team. The Raiders coughed the ball up twice (interception and fumble) to set up Santa Barbara scores, and a center snap that sailed over their punter’s head gave the Dons another opportunity that they cashed in when Peus whipped a 23-yard pass to Jellison, who broke free on a corner route to the end zone.

Donovan Zavaleta, one of those spunky little guys (56, 150 pounds) who can find a place in prep football, made a nice kickoff return after Channel Islands scored early in the second half to make the score 33-7. The Dons had started to drive again when Channel Islands safety Frank Romero stayed down after helping stop a run. In a scene that’s hard on every parent and fan of the game, paramedics

Game of the Week

9/18: College Soccer: Montana @ UCSB women; College of Charleston @ UCSB men: The Gaucho women (4-2-1) bring a four-game winning streak into Friday’s opening match. First-year forward Mallory Hromatko has scored three goals, including a game-winner in overtime at Duquesne, and added three assists during the run. Junior striker Nick DePuy has scored five goals for the Gaucho men (2-2-1). They will be playing at home for the first time since their opener, a 1-0 win over Stanford. The following Friday (9/25), Akron will visit UCSB, the site of the Zips’ 2010 NCAA championship victory.

Women’s game: 5pm. $5-$8 (admission good for both games). Men’s game: 7:30pm. $8-$10. Harder Stadium. Call 893-UCSB (8272) or visit ucsbgauchos.com.

tended to Romero in the middle of the field. He was carefully immobilized and taken away on a stretcher. Raiders coach Gary Porter reported Monday that the player “has a deep bruise in his lower back, but there are no other signs of anything serious. He will miss this week’s game but should be able to return the following week.”

The incident put a damper on the game, but Jellison created more excitement when he streaked downfield on a post pattern and caught a 27-yard TD pass from Peus. “We needed that,” the quarterback said.“We can count on Tick to make things happen.” Jellison said,“You have to stay positive.

It’s football. That [Romero’s injury] is going to happen. You roll with the punches.”

Jellison wanted to play football for the Dons ever since he watched his brother Bradford, who was both a running back and a defensive back in the 2010-11 seasons. “He was fun to watch,” Tick said.“He was always exciting.”

The younger Jellison was ready when his time came. His nickname, by the way, was his own unwitting creation. As a toddler, he pronounced his name “Tickopher,” so his family began calling him Tick instead of Chris.

When Santa Barbara started the sport of lacrosse last spring, Jellison gave it a try and enjoyed it. “It’s like football with a stick,” he said.

Football is the sport of tradition at Peabody Stadium, and the Dons will try to keep things rolling in this promising season when they host the Rio Mesa Spartans on Friday, September 18. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

VAQUERO VIDEO: La Playa Stadium has a new scoreboard that was dedicated last Saturday before the SBCC Vaqueros’

football home opener, a 21-20 victory over Allan Hancock College. Funded by Union Bank, the scoreboard features a large screen that shows live video of the game in progress.

Replays will be introduced at a future time, SBCC Athletic Director Ryan Byrne said. The Vaqueros will play their next game at La Playa on Saturday, September 19, at 1 p.m. n against East L.A. College. independent.com

M. SPECIAL’S OPENING BASH: Goleta’s craft

lerin

Perhaps the most inventive fest in recent memory, this ShakeSBeer affair on Friday night, September 18, 6-10 p.m., at the S.B. Historical Museum pairs Shakespeare scenes with specially crafted ales that, according to co-organizer Zach Rosen, were “designed to represent the traits of their representative character and the scenes that the audience will watch.” Figueroa Mountain, for instance, aged their Lizard’s Mouth Imperial IPA in a cask with dragon fruit, jasmine, and cardamom to represent Queen Titania, the strong fairy queen from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. When she falls for man-turned-donkey Nick Bottom, attendees will shift to Island Brewing’s Paradise Pale Ale, aged in-cask with dandelion blossoms, wildflower honey, and Meyer lemons, representing Nick’s sweet, soft character. Telegraph’s White Ale, infused with pineapple, ginger, and scotch bonnet peppers, will match with two scenes of Julia from The Two Gentlemen of Verona and the fiery Katharine from The Taming of the Shrew. Yeah, it’s gonna be wild.

Tickets are $65-$85. See sbhustlers.org.

gone-pro Josh Ellis. Founded on a quest to make a tasty American lager — which should be ready soon — the brewery’s supercool warehouse tasting room, hidden deep in the Good Land’s tech-office sprawl, offers a solid slate of regular and rotating ales, from blondes to IPAs to saisons, all tasting quite clean already.

This weekend’s Friday-Sunday familyfriendly party will feature live music, Woodstock’s Pizza, games, and lots of ale. M. Special is located at 6860 Cortona Drive, Suite C. Call 968-6500 or see mspecialbrewco.com.

5TH ANNUAL FERMENTATION FEST: Want to learn to make

pickles, kimchi, ginger soda, tangy salsa, kombucha, kefir, coconut yogurt, or any of the myriad healthy foods that rely on fermentation? Or just wanna taste them all?

Then this fifth annual affair at Goleta’s Rancho La Patera & Stow House on Sunday, September 20, 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m., is your one-stop shop. More than 40 vendors will share nearly 100 different types of food, with many offering hands-on lessons from three stages, all for $35. Want a drink with that? Buy the $55 Farm-to-Bar ticket instead for access to more mind-altering fermentables. See sbfermentationfestival.com.

GHETTO SUPERSTARS: All right, so this is the fol-

lowing weekend, but the superstars of Lompoc’s Wine Ghetto are opening their cellars to barrel tastes, grape stomps, live graffiti art, and more on September 26-27.

Tickets and timing vary per event. The centerpiece of the weekend, which includes open houses at more than two dozen wineries, will be the $125 Farm-to-Ghetto La Paulee Dinner with Bell Street Farm. The $160 ticket gets you everything. See lompocwine.net. — Matt Kettmann

Excited shrieks, glasses of Bordeaux, and the aroma of lavender and pork flowed through the kitchen at The Food Liaison as a dozen enthusiastic cooking students gathered for an evening of a petit education in the art of preparing a classic French feast.

“We seem to be the flavor of the month,” said Nirasha Rodriguez, the chef who opened the catering/cooking class/lunch-counter business in Carpinteria two months ago with her husband, Jason. The couple personally designed every aspect of the new space, from the functional high tables to the geometric light fixtures and tiles, which gives it their signature style. “We are excited to bring people into our kitchen,” she said. “I want this to be a community space.”

Their upcoming lessons, which cost $75-$95, feature various techniques and styles, from the classics and appetizers to Southern and “super” foods. “I want the classes to be more of a story — I want to know the heart of the food,” said Rodriguez, who was a private chef to wealthy clients and celebrities in Montecito for the past decade. “It’s important to remember how intimate food is. You have to taste that love and special moment in the food.”

Though her hard work and sensitive palate certainly help, Rodriguez believes, “If you have a passion for something, it just comes naturally.” Such passion is contagious because for by the end of the night, some students were already signing up for the next installment on their iPhones for fear that they would will miss their chance to taste la vie en rose with Nirasha and Jason once again.

WHAT WE COOKED

Coq au Vin: “If you’ve ever had a rooster, it’s very tough, but the wine breaks it down and gives it flavor,” said Rodriguez, whose class used organic chickens from Sage Hill Farms in Carpinteria to make a savory French rooster stew with onions, carrots, bits of pork, and, of course, wine.

Radicchio Salad with Goat Cheese: “We Americans aren’t as used to it as the French,” said Rodriguez of this red-cabbage-like vegetable. This salad cleanses the palate after the heavy stew.

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes: The coq au vin is best served with potatoes, smashed peas, or another starch that can soak the stew’s wine and stock juices. “I like comfort food with a healthy twist on it,” said Rodriguez. “I cook rustic but beautiful.”

MONTECITO CRUSHCAKES BECOMING BREE’OSH BAKERY: Crushcakes, which opened

in May at 1150 Coast Village Road in Montecito, has closed its doors.

Owner Shannon Gaston sent this message: “Dear Crushcakes Montecito Customers, It is with a heavy heart that we must tell you that Crushcakes will no longer be operating from our Montecito location as of Monday, September 14. Since our purchase of Simply Pies, we have become increasingly busy. We want to focus on what we do well and in order to do that, we will be passing our Montecito shop to friends of ours. You will be in good hands with Pierre and Nelly, who are opening an exciting new concept called Bree’Osh Bakery.” Gaston explained that Bree’Osh will be an authentic French bakery and coffee shop, opening in early October and serving breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily, 7 a.m.-5 p.m.“Bree’Osh specializes in sweet and savory homemade French brioche with premium local ingredients,” she wrote. “You will enjoy the savory brioche buns with poached eggs, French cheese, and a delicious béchamel sauce and love the sweet brioches with chocolate, almond cream, or ‘praline rose,’ directly from Lyon.” She invites fans to visit Crushcakes and Simply Pies at their other three locations: 1315 Anacapa Street; 4945 Carpinteria Avenue, Carpinteria; and 5392 Hollister Avenue, Goleta.

KOL’S OPENS: Kol’s Café has opened at 6533

ALL-DAY BREAKFAST COMING TO McDONALD’S: Beginning October 6, McDonald’s will

serve breakfast all day long, instead of ending the morning meal at 10:30 a.m.“Serving all-day breakfast is likely the number one request we hear from McDonald’s customers,” said McDonald’s spokesperson Lisa McComb. Steve Easterbrook, who took over as CEO earlier this year, has promised to improve McDonald’s food, saying the company will experiment with new sandwiches and changes to how customers order.

NUANCE ADDS WEEKEND BRUNCH: Nuance,

which opened in late May at 119 State Street, now offers brunch every Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Chef Courtney Ladin puts the spotlight on fresh farmers’ market produce and house-made breakfast favorites that pair with cocktails. Main dishes include Carnitas Eggs Benedict, Fried Chicken & Waffles, Veggie Frittata, Greek Tomato Salad, Fried French Toast, and Open-Face Egg Sandwich.

FOOTBALL AT EUREKA! AND HOLLISTER BREW CO: Eureka! at 601 Paseo Nuevo now

offers Sunday football games. Doors open at 10 a.m. Menu highlights include the All Day Breakfast Burrito with carnitas, potatoes, pepper medley, and Monterey jack cheese wrapped in a tortilla and topped with ranchero sauce and a fried egg; Jalapeño Egg Burger with cheddar cheese, bacon, pickled jalapeños, and chipotle sauce, also topped with a fried egg. The Nacho Average Nachos are made with fresh tortilla chips, topped with Monterey jack cheese, smoked and shredded chicken, tomatoes, black beans, fresh jalapeños, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and finished off with guacamole.

Hollister Brewing Company at 6980 Marketplace Drive also shows NFL games on seven widescreen TVs with Sunday breakfast served 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The breakfast menu includes Chorizo and Egg Tacos, Hollister Scramble, Huevos con Chile, Bacon Egg Avocado Sandwich, Mushroom Goat Cheese Frittata, Breakfast Bowl, and Brioche French Toast.

loads of exotic roasting spices, this bottling from the heart of Valpolicella by Marchesi Fumanelli—an Italian family from Verona that’s been in the wine biz since 1470—is tremendously soft and lush on the palate. That’s thanks to the traditional amarone process, in which grapes are dried into essentially raisins over 120 days. This blend of the traditional grape varieties corvina, corvinone, and rondinella from the family’s Squarano Estate pairs the Old World’s well-structured elegance with the New World’s concentrated ripeness, proving a perfect bridge between our wine cultures.

It’s just one of the five bottles that proprietor Armando Fumanelli will share on Tuesday, September 29, at the Bacara Resort & Spa’s An Evening in Verona dinner, which will feature mozzarella and parmesan bars, three courses by Chef Vincent Lesage, and performances by Opera Santa Barbara. This 2008 Amarone will be paired with the main entrée — grilled rib eye, tortelli di zucca, mostarda, red wine sauce, and black truffle — which, with arias ringing in your ear, will be a very complex sensory — Matt Kettmann experience, indeed. Tickets are $150. See bacararesort.com.

Back-Porch Days

I

feel very fortunate to be in this situation where I can actually always be concentrating on what I love the most,” said singer/ songwriter Chris Cornell of the state of his career in a recent phone interview with The Santa Barbara Independent. “Getting up in the morning and [writing songs] — that’s exciting. It’s as exciting as it always was.”

Cornell achieved mega success in the 1990s as frontman for grunge rock originators Soundgarden and then later with the Grammy-nominated supergroup Audioslave. He has simultaneously carried on a notable solo career, recording several original songs for film and four records — from 1999’s Euphoria Morning to his latest, Higher Truth, which becomes available September 18. Higher Truth sees Cornell take a different sonic direction than his last studio album, Scream, which was produced

by Timbaland, and he explained that on this album there was “nothing labored over.” It’s closer to a demo, he added— added one that is also high in quality and musically dynamic.

Thoughtful and forthcoming, Cornell spoke of his vision for this project, working with producer Brendan O’Brien, and Johnny Cash. For the full interview, see independent .com/chriscornell.

the thing that nobody ever fucking figures out. Ever. And I think that that was happening with him. So you know, the weird trick … is to get what you think of as soft-sounding instruments and arrangements and lyrics and all of that, but allow it to sound live and let there be a certain amount of warts on it.

How was it working with Brendan O’Brien on the new album? He kind of seems like the most valuable player, really. As an engineer, and a producer, I knew that he was going to make it sound right. In terms of someone recording me singing, he’s really the only guy I let do that at this point; otherwise, I just do it by myself. … [Brendan]’s really amazing, particularly on the bass. He plays mostly the bass on the record, and it’s really fantastic, and it’s not a bass arrangement that we worked over for a week or two weeks, going over song after song. I [would] play an acoustic guitar, he would play the bass line, and I would sing over it, all within the first couple hours of the morning. And nine times out of 10, that was the performance.

That really helps the energy of these songs, to be able to play live and … nothing labored over in spots.

Chris Cornell Plays acoustic show at the Granada

I’ve been listening to “Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart” from your new album, and it has a sort of back-porch feel yet is really well done.

Is that what you were going for? Well, yeah, it’s a difficult one to describe. I guess one ref reference I have is being such a big John Cash fan, and the transition that he made when he started doing records with Rick Rubin at the end of his career; there’s something to that.

Here’s this guy who really doesn’t have to do anything except strum a guitar and sing a song. And it almost doesn’t matter what that song is; I’m gonna be completely bowled over by it. And what ends up happening for the most part in the music business is, that’s

I think that you were able to make it sound homemade and also make it very clean and professional, which seems a hard line to walk. I think you’re touching on something that is kind of the key point on why this works and how it works and what I was trying to get at— at a combination between having it feel live and having an edge to it, a little bit dangerous and a little bit homemade, is exciting. While by the same token, not having it feel like a lo-fi record, where it doesn’t sound great at any volume, or on any set of speakers.

Do you feel like you’re in a new resurgence of creativity or direction? Well, I live with ongoing daily efforts to try to figure out how to do it. Everything I’ve done, that’s just me trying to figure out how to do it. So one day, if I put out an album and I decide I did it, I figured it out, then that’ll be the last thing … and then I’ll have to go and do something else.

Well, I hope you never figure it out then.

[Chuckles.]

Falls

A surprise creative “genius” grant from the San Jose–based Belle Foundation sent prolific Santa Barbara composer Luis Muñoz, his band, and three great singers to one of New York City’s top recording studios for this project, and as a result, the work overflows with the warmth and gratitude that recognition can bring. In addition to collaborating with the musicians and singers, Muñoz, ever the connector of all creative types, brought three distinguished Latin American poets on board to cowrite Spanish-language lyrics, and area artist Mary Heebner to provide the cover art. As promised in the title, there are vocals on every track, and the sound is lush, varied, and deeply romantic. Muñoz has become a consistent favorite of the international music scene, landing on many critics’ lists of top composers. This enchanting effort should take him further than ever.

This duo from Sydney, Australia, offers a fresh voice to the alternative folk-rock genre. Their 13-track debut album, Omaha, presents a soft, sweet experience from beginning to the end, each song reflecting on falling in love, the angst of youth, and the overall inexplicability of life. The beautiful simplicity of matching strings to their dulcet voices shines throughout the record.

Standout tracks are “Beating Hearts,”“Don’t Ask,” and “Nothing Ever Comes My Way.” Omaha will be available October 2.

Matthew McAvene

Dreamers, inventors, entrepreneurs, and auteurs often have big ideas but lack the means to make them a reality. That’s why Jacob Tell, CEO of creative marketing agency Oniracom, helped to found Solutions for Dreamers (SFD), a mixer for creatively minded entrepreneurs and businesspeople and business-minded creatives, artists, and musicians.

SFD will hold its second event Friday, September 18, at 5 p.m. at Oniracom (720 E. Haley St.; oniracom.com), and Tell hopes this month’s meeting will make a roar.

Featuring brand-new tiger-themed artwork from Tiger Heroes artist and entrepreneur Matthew McAvene (the man behind Blind Tiger’s namesake glowing-eyed cat) and music from the Dylan Ortega Band and the Jonathan McEuen Trio, the night will go toward funding tiger conservation through the World Wildlife Fund and Panthera.

McAvene, with his activist artistry and civic-minded creativity, was a natural partner for the mixer, Tell said.

“We really feel that people respond, especially in this day and age of technology, with visual works of beauty and fine art that are on a large scale,” he said.

Dylan Ortega, the golden-voiced, country-singing teen from Buellton who was a recent finalist on Teen Star Santa Barbara, will be joined by a band at the SFD event on the heels of a busy summer schedule. Jonathan McEuen, meanwhile, is one of Santa Barbara’s top bluegrass performers, being among the few to claim genetic roots to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and possessing impressive string-plucking skills himself.

Tell hopes the event will facilitate a wider creative connectivity in town and reinject some health into a creative community that has undergone its share of “ebbs and flows.” He feels the Funk Zone has pushed out the availability of cheap and more accessible arts spaces for higher-rent boutiques, and he hopes this event will bridge the gap between creative minds and the funds or stakeholders they often seek.

Event partners also include the Impact Hub, a new State Street workspace and idea-sharing venue. Pure Order will provide craft beers, and there will also be a food truck and a s’mores fire pit. Ortega and McEuen’s music will provide a fine melodic backdrop to the pulse of area innovators thinking and connecting to the beat of their own drums.

The Prize: Who’s in Charge of America’s Schools?

by Richie DeMaria

SAT, OCT 3 / 3 PM / UCSB CAMPBELL HALL

NATURAL SOURCE: Songwriter/composer Jesse Rhodes tapped deep into the winds and rhythms of the outdoors for his newest album, Love Over Fear.

CHOOSE LOVE: Jesse Rhodes’s new album, Love Over Fear, features a pair of songs called “Forest” and “Joshua Tree.” It’s clear: Rhodes feels a deep connection to the outdoors. “To me, that’s the source, man. That’s where we all come from. And to me, that’s where the music comes from, when I’m able to tune in and get it and receive it,” he said.

The songwriter/composer, formerly of Stegosaurus, tapped deep into the winds and rhythms of the outdoors for his newest album, which opens with the sound of crickets singing. He has scored films on the outdoors before, including Above Santa Barbara and Above Yellowstone, and is working on West of the West, a new film on the Channel Islands currently in production.

Rhodes hunkered down in Glen Phillips’s studio with area drum wizard Austin Beede to lay down some initial rhythms before taking the rest of the material home for a three-year writing and recording process. He said he titled the album about the two opposing forces that motivate many actions: fear and love. “In every action, we can act out of fear or we can act out of love, and I have seen fear dismantle a lot of good loves. With this album, I want to say, ‘Choose love,’” he said. “I think if we can act toward love, we will be better off all around.”

A full band featuring Phillips as well as members of Rhodes’s former band, Stegosaurus, will perform at SOhO, and Rhodes promises a memorable and celebratory event. The Jesse Rhodes CD Release Party, with Zach Madden, is Sunday, September 20, at 7 p.m. at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). Call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com.

FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES: Renee Stahl, the tenderly voiced, recently relocated S.B. resident of Renee and Jeremy fame, has made a new album “for children of all ages,” Simpatico. The record by Renee & Friends was penned to give young (and young-at-heart) listeners a deeper, more thoughtful form of songwriting than the patronizing child singsong genre, said Stahl, who enjoys the deep and heady spiritualism of bands like Talk Talk and Radiohead. “We want to respect children and their intelligence; they’re so smart,” she said.

Stahl’s comforting music has grown up around children, as she wrote and recorded her first album with music (and not marital) partner Jeremy Toback in her soon-to-be-born baby’s nursery. For this one, Stahl called upon a talented roster of friends, including Lisa Loeb, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon, Colin Hay, Chris Ballew, and, of course, one of Santa Barbara’s no doubt busiest and nicest musical collaborators, Glen Phillips.

The album is out now.

LEAVE IT TO BEAVERSTOCK: Paso Robles wine country will receive a twonight jolt of folk rock and funk this weekend when Beaverstock rolls into the vineyards with headliners Dawes and War. Hosted by Castoro Cellars in Templeton, the festival, now in its third year, aims to bring Central Coasters together at summer’s close for a weekend of music, yoga, and wine. Proceeds of this year’s festival will help the Templeton Education Foundation. Beaverstock is Saturday-Sunday, September 19-20, 1-9 p.m. at 1315 North Bethel Road, Templeton. Call (888) DAM-FINE or visit castorocellars.com.

88 WAYS AND COUNTING: The founders of Keep Music Alive will host 88+ Ways Music Can Change Your Life, inspired by the book of the same name.

Featuring Erin Carere, Rose Kingsley, Vincent James, and Victoria DeMare, the event will help fund music education programs. Catch it at SOhO on n Saturday, September 19, at noon.

Santa Barbara Debut

A Brilliant Young Mind. Asa Butterfield, Sally Hawkins, and Rafe Spall star in a film written by James Graham and directed by Morgan Matthews.

ou’re likely thinking something like this: How many more movies about the misadventures of disabled boy geniuses must I endure? From Rain Man to The Imitation Game, the industry seems obsessed with the doomed and the gifted. Did Einstein pick his nose? Was Bertrand Russell naughty with the nanny? Let’s make a movie.

But this is the one that finally gets the pathos and excitement levels set just right. Scripted with intelligence and flirting cleverly with the clichés, this film chronicles the upbringing of an emotionally constipated math genius kid (he’s Spock as English boy), who is raised by a single mother (Sally Hawkins) after the death of an unconditionally loving father. Nathan (played with real skill by Asa Butterfield, who was Ender in Ender’s Game and Hugo in Hugo) is a real pain in the collective ass, too. He loves patterns, and he finds them while shuffling downtown and gazing at architecture or creates them while fiddling with his Chinese takeout.

But he’s not so great with people who want to shake his hand. And if the egg rolls don’t add up to a prime number, he freaks. Nathan’s mom has the usual problems of single parenting, compounded by the fact that she is “two standard deviations” beneath her brainiac boy.

and Dancers of India Spirit of India BOY GENIUS: Asa Butterfield (right) plays a math whiz lacking social skills in A Brilliant Young Mind.

Then we meet Martin (Rafe Spall), a former prodigy with his own crosses to bear. Nathan also leans about the International Mathematics Olympiad, and his obsessions become epic.

Maybe it still doesn’t sound promising, this film with the terrible title, but it was made with a tender attention to motivation and behaviors. It’s psychologically rich like a novel and beautiful, too. Director Morgan Matthews frames Nathan’s open and large face and eyes in carefully composed shots full of greens and blues and browns. We feel close to nature even when the topic is the troubling relationship of exceptional humanity trying to hang out with the rest of us normally tortured people. n

Johnny Depp stars as notorious South Boston Irish crime boss Whitey Bulger, who eventually ended up on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List only to evade capture for years.

Lily Tomlin represses her smarmy/ cutesy sides and acts the hell out of this movie. It may seem from previews like a laugh fest with a serious side for the one-time Laugh-In star, but it really sweeps across the history of women’s struggles in the last half-century.

In this second installation of the Maze Runner saga, Gladers hunt for clues about the mysterious, diabolical organization called WCKD.

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.

In The Second Mother, a maid named Val (Regina Casé) welcomes her long-lost daughter Jéssica (Camila Márdila) into the home of the family she tends to. The family takes an immediate liking to the confident, university-bound girl, and the more or less unseen Val must continue her toils and duties as maid while her daughter is fawned over. Tensions tighten and relations complicate as the boundaries between upper and lower class, mother and daughter, family and live-in servant begin to blur. The Second Mother is great in showing how social hierarchies can so subjugate and silence the unacknowledged. (RD) Paseo Nuevo

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) 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) Fiesta 5

(99 mins.; PG:13: suggestive content and sexual references)

The audience deeply, boisterously appreciated the many double entendres and fart jokes ladled on top of this inspirational story. The best part is the swooping “camera work” that includes long pans, arresting close-ups, and an extended canyon chase flight scene that screams Star Wars. (DJP)

Survey must be completed by October 15.

A Walk in the Woods (104 mins.; R: language and some sexual references)

In a just universe, where the good are rewarded and the bad chastised, nobody but Nick Nolte should have walked away from this film with legacy intact.

How such a discerning man as Robert Redford could let this beloved book get such mediocre treatment is shameful.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of septembeR 17 ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I won’t go so far as to say that you are surrounded by unhinged maniacs whose incoherence is matched only by their self-delusion. That would probably be too extreme. But I do suspect that at least some of the characters in the game you’re playing are not operating at their full potential. For now, it’s best not to confront them and demand that they act with more grace. The wiser strategy might be to avoid being swept up in their agitation as you take good care of yourself. If you are patient and stay centered, I bet you will eventually get a chance to work your magic.

(June 21-July 22): Now is an excellent time to close the gap between the Real You and the image of yourself that you display to the world. I know of two ways to accomplish this. You can tinker with the Real You so that it’s more like the image you display. Or else you can change the image you display so that it is a more accurate rendition of the Real You. Both strategies may be effective. However you go about it, Cancerian, I suggest you make it your goal to shrink the amount of pretending you do.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Many of the heroes in fairy tales survive and thrive because of the magical gifts they are given. Benefactors show up, often unexpectedly, to provide them with marvels — a spinning wheel that can weave a cloak of invisibility, perhaps, or winged shoes that give them the power of flight, or a charmed cauldron that brews a healing potion. But there is an important caveat. The heroes rarely receive their boons out of sheer luck. They have previously performed kind deeds or unselfish acts in order to earn the right to be blessed. According to my analysis, Taurus, the coming weeks will be prime time for you to make yourself worthy of gifts you will need later on.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Born under the sign of Leo, Marcel Duchamp was an influential artist whose early work prefigured surrealism. In 1917, he submitted an unusual piece to a group exhibition in New York. It was a plain old porcelain urinal, but he titled it “Fountain,� and insisted it was a genuine work of art. In that spirit, I am putting my seal of approval on the messy melodrama you are in the process of managing. Henceforth, this melodrama shall also be known as a work of art, and its title will be “Purification.� (Or would you prefer “Expurgation� or “Redemption�?) If you finish the job with the panache you have at your disposal, it will forevermore qualify as a soul-jiggling masterpiece.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The rooster is your power animal.

Be like him. Scrutinize the horizon for the metaphorical dawn that is coming, and be ready to herald its appearance with a triumphant wake-up call. On the other hand, the rooster is also your affliction animal.

Don’t be like him. I would hate for you to imitate the way he handles himself in a fight, which is to keep fussing and squabbling far beyond the point when he should let it all go. In conclusion, Libra, act like a rooster but also don’t act like a rooster. Give up the protracted struggle so you can devote yourself to the more pertinent task, which is to celebrate the return of the primal heat and light.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One of your key themes in the coming weeks is “grace.� I suggest that you cultivate it, seek it out, expect it, and treasure it. To prepare for this fun work, study all of the meanings of “grace� below. At least two of them, and possibly all, should and can be an active part of your life. (1) Elegance or beauty of form, movement, or proportion; seemingly effortless charm or fluidity. (2) Favor or goodwill; a disposition to be generous or helpful. (3) Mercy, forgiveness, charity. (4) A temporary exemption or immunity; a reprieve. (5) A sense of fitness or propriety. (6) A prayer of blessing or thanks said before a meal. (7) An unmerited divine gift offered out of love.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

GEMINI

VIRGO

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be good, but not necessarily wellbehaved. Be extra exuberant and free, but not irresponsible. Be lavish and ardent and even rowdy, but not decadent. Why? What’s the occasion? Well, you have more or less finished paying off one of your karmic debts. You have conquered or at least outwitted a twist from your past that had been sapping your mojo.

As a reward for doing your duty with such diligence, you have earned a respite from some of the more boring aspects of reality. And so now you have a mandate to gather up the intelligent pleasure you missed when you were acting like a beast of burden.

(May 21-June 20): We humans need nourishing stories almost as much as we require healthy food, clean air, pure water, and authentic love. And yet many of us get far less than our minimum daily requirement of nourishing stories. Instead, we are barraged with nihilistic narratives that wallow in misery and woe. If we want a break from that onslaught, our main other choices are sentimental fantasies and empty-hearted trivia. That’s the bad news. But here’s the good news: Now is a favorable time for you to seek remedies for this problem.

That’s why I’m urging you to hunt down redemptive chronicles that furnish your soul with gritty delight.

Find parables and sagas and tales that fire up your creative imagination and embolden your lust for life.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some people express pride in gross ways. When you hear their overbearing brags, you know it’s a sign that they are not really confident in themselves. They overdo the vanity because they’re trying to compensate for their feelings of inadequacy.

In the coming weeks, I expect you to express a more lovable kind of self-glorification. It won’t be inflated or arrogant, but will instead be measured and reasonable.

If you swagger a bit, you will do it with humor and style, not narcissism and superiority. Thank you in advance for your service to humanity. The world needs more of this benign kind of egotism.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Since you seem to enjoy making life so complicated and intense for yourself, you may be glad to learn that the current astrological omens favor that development. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you’re about to dive deep into rich mysteries that could drive you half-crazy. I suspect that you will be agitated and animated by your encounters with ecstatic torment and difficult bliss.

Bon voyage! Have fun! Soon I expect to see miniature violet bonfires gleaming in your bedroom eyes, and unnamable emotions rippling through your unfathomable face, and unprecedented words of wild wisdom spilling from your smart mouth.

SAGITTARIUS

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “I am the least difficult of men. All I want is boundless love.� That’s the mantra that Frank O’Hara intoned in his poem “Meditations in an Emergency,� and now I’m inviting you to adopt a modified version of it. Here’s how I would change it for your use in the coming months: “I am the least difficult of passion artists. All I want is to give and receive boundless, healthy, interesting love.� To be frank, I don’t think O’Hara’s simple and innocent declaration will work for you. You really do need to add my recommended nuances in order to ripen your soul’s code and be aligned with cosmic rhythms.

LEO

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Adamites were devotees of an ancient Christian sect that practiced sacred nudism.

One of their central premises: How could anyone possibly know God while wearing clothes? I am not necessarily recommending that you make their practice a permanent part of your spiritual repertoire, but I think you might find value in it during the coming weeks. Your erotic and transcendent yearnings will be rising to a crescendo at the same time. You will have the chance to explore states where horniness and holiness overlap. Lusty prayers? Reverent sex? Ecstatic illumination?

ger than I had imagined, with a tall wooden fence for privacy and a big tree offering shade and greenery. Down the long driveway, there’s a detached garage, which is another atypical extra for a house of this era.

I pulled myself away from this darling home, thoroughly charmed, back to my car and to the reality of my original errand—but not without those well-deserved adjectives, and thoughts of grandma, still lingering in my head.

Walking deeper into the living room, I discovered my favorite element of this house: The arched doorway between the living room and the dining room hides an honest-to-goodness sliding pocket door.

I learned that the home was built in 1932, so my original sensation of being in grandma’s house was right on the money. The two good-sized bedrooms have lots of windows to bring the sunshine in and provide peeks of the side and backyards. There are two full bathrooms, which isn’t always typical in a cottage like this. Not surprisingly, there isn’t a ton of closet space, but it does have the unexpected bonus of a separate laundry room.

I happened upon 927 West Valerio Street before I had heard anything about it, driving through the Westside on a different errand and spying the open-house sign. I walked up the front path, not having read the realtor’s narrative. So when the word “charming” popped into my head, it wasn’t in response to anything other than the thoroughly deserving details of this adorable cottage.

The pointed roofline caught my eye before I even left the sidewalk, the arched entrance held my attention as I reached the porch, and the built-in mail slot had me smiling as I approached the front door. Crossing the threshold, I had the feeling that I was stepping into grandma’s house as the hardwood floors and brick fireplace welcomed me into the cozy living room.

Telltale latches on the wood-framed windows and other original details in the front room reinforced my hunch that this home had seen a few genera-

ince the mid-’70s, I have been committed to building the best, most sustainable buildings. But over time it became clear that a town full of super green buildings was not necessarily a green community.

There are many other important indicators of sustainability: how citizens move about; the amount of trees and green spaces; where food is grown and processed; types of recreation; how water is collected, stored, and used; whether waste or even sewage is treated as a resource or not; and how and where electrical power is produced.

In California, we have put a lot of attention on efficient buildings; consequently, we have probably the best assortment of high-performance buildings in the world. Only recently have we started paying attention to some of these other factors.

A key principle of sustainability is finding an approach that solves multiple problems. El Estero, Santa Barbara’s waste treatment plant, has done this by setting up a cogeneration facility onsite. The collected solid waste is fed into a digester to produce methane, which then is used to generate 70 percent of the electricity needed to run the waste plant.

Moreover, the residual solids become safe, nutrient-rich compost that is used on city parks and gardens.

Another example of this sustainable principle is found in Scandinavia.

They have long built houses to stringent energy-performance standards.

Even more impressive, however, are the “fuel-flexible” power plants that they have constructed, which are capable of burning fossil fuels, biomass, trash, or biogas (mostly methane harvested from the sewage system). They are frequently located in urban neighborhoods so that

by Dennis Allen furnace and water heater like we have here in the States. We tend to think in terms of high-performance buildings; in Scandinavia, they tend to think in terms of high-performance neighborhoods, cities, and regions.

Because of the centralized efficiencies of these heat and power facilities and their easy ability to switch fuels, they reduce both the cost to consumers and carbon emissions. Stay tuned because we will be seeing a lot of these multifunction operations make more efficient use of resources and address climate change.

Dennis Allen is chair of Allen Construction, an employee-owned company committed to building and operating sustainably. He also serves as chair of the Dean’s Council at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at UCSB and as a boardmember of the Community Environmental Council.

Five-Gallon Bucket in the Shower K

eep a five-gallon bucket in the shower to catch the cold water that pours out before the hot. The easy steps are: Place bucket under faucet, turn on water until it’s hot enough, turn off water, remove bucket from shower, turn water back on, and jump in. When the bucket gets full, we use it to water our yard or add it to the washing machine when we start a load of laundry. We’ve saved 10-15 gallons a week in a two-person household for more than a year now. Multiply that by 52 weeks per year, and that’s 520-780 gallons saved each year, not to mention the water you’ve saved in the yard and the washer. The water savings are doubled.

of the willow. It does have graceful, almost weeping branches that are clothed in narrow, drooping leaves. Australian willow makes a nice rounded canopy and gets no taller than 30 feet. The peppermint tree, also called Australian willow myrtle (just to confuse things) does have aromatic foliage that is reminiscent of mint when crushed. It also has a weepy sort of grace

up to 25 to 35 feet tall. In spring, it is covered with tiny white flowers that shower down a confetti of petals: nice, but also a bit of a chore to clean up. There is almost no such thing as a “clean” tree; most drop leaves, seed pods, or something throughout the year. Site them wisely for ease of maintenance.

The bottlebrushes are also in this family.

Most of them are merely bushy, but one, weeping bottlebrush, (Callistemon viminalis), usually remains single-trunked up to 30 feet tall. It also spreads out a bit with pendulous branches. In late spring and early summer, the ends of the branches sport the bottlebrush flower structures of their name. Bright red bunches of stamens circle the branchlets. It may need occasional pruning and, especially when young, a sturdy stake will get it off to a good start. Maybe these smaller cousins of the hulking species of eucalyptus can make a difference in the landscape and public perception.

torquata). It also stays in the 20- to E. torquata 30-foot range (or a tiny bit taller). The flowers are a little smaller but still produce a nice display of coral red and yellow stamens in profusion. It may need some staking and training at first to create a more graceful shape.

Another decorative eucalyptus species is the silver mountain gum (E. pulverulenta). This one is known for its very silvery leaves. The young ones look like discs strung on a stick. In fact, some people keep them pruned back so that they are always producing new juvenile foliage.

In the same family, there are a couple of nice, well-mannered garden subjects. Australian willow is Australian, but no relative

ucalyptus have gotten a bad rap when, really, most of the ones that tower over homes and streets and drop limbs seemingly at will, those giants from Down Under that now and then just keel over, taking a car or roof with them, are just planted in the wrong place. No one would have thought to put a giant sequoia right next to the school yard or a bunya bunya in the courtyard of a shopping center. But many of the almost iconic eucalyptus trees around town were planted long before anyone knew just how big they would get and, to be frank, just how big the town would also grow around them.

There are many more eucalyptus species that maintain much more delicate forms and don’t tower over everything in sight. There is the very showy red-cap gum (Eucalyptus erythrocorys) that tops out below 30 feet. The flowers start out as bright red capsules until the cap pops off to reveal a multitude of bright yellow stamens. Another small eucalyptus that also has good floral color is coral gum (E.

almost exclusively.

the country club, and sunbathing at the private Hope Ranch beach.

You’ll Love: Sunrise walks through the

oak trees on dedicated trails, bloodorange margaritas down the hill at The Boathouse on Hendry’s Beach, and rural privacy just minutes from town.

Perfect For: Wealthy folks looking for

his antique Victorian is located on the street named in honor of Manuel Micheltorena, a Mexican governor of California in 1842-1845. Appointed by the president of Mexico, Antonio López de Santa Anna, Micheltorena fought for both privatization and preservation of the historic California missions.

This home was built for Frances Baxter, the widow of A. Sydney Baxter. Both of them come from colorful pasts: Mrs. Baxter is related to Governor William Bradford of Massachusetts, while Mr. Baxter’s ancestry stems from a well-to-do Vermont family whose members served on Ulysses S. Grant’s staff during the Civil War. Upon the war ending, the couple lived briefly in New York. Shortly thereafter, Mrs. Baxter became widowed and relocated to Santa Barbara in 1887.

After the Baxter family sold the property in 1918, it was home to osteopathic surgeon Frank Lynch, followed shortly by James Tucker, a fireman and freight-car inspector for Southern Pacific railroad who lived there for 40 years.

The two-story residence contains an especially intriguing architectural element: a doublepitched, Swedish gambrel roof. This is viewed in the roofline high point, which runs in both east-to-west and north-to-south configurations, where the two upper slopes protrude outward in shallow context from the center point. Other notable ornamentations include sweeping bargeboards; bay windows, dentils, and columns; and a tiny dash of fish scaling in the panel between the two windows over the porch.

Micheltorena Street

Equestrian estates are the heart and soul of Hope Ranch, an almost entirely residential community along the coast between Santa Barbara and Goleta full of multimillion-dollar mansions hidden behind ornate gates. La Cumbre Country Club sits at the heart of the area, as does the private and exclusive Laguna Blanca School, and horse/ hiking trails weave in and out of the wooded setting.Yet despite the country setting, the conveniences of Santa Barbara are just five minutes away.

horse trails. The median home price approaches $3 million, with the occasional $25 million sale, as well, so this is truly a community of elites and successful entrepreneurs, all willing to pay a little extra for lots of space hidden behind stately gates.

Though named after Thomas Hope, an Irishman who purchased the property for $8,000 back in 1861, it wasn’t developed into a residential area until the 1920s. That’s also when the existing homeowners association—which maintains the trails and private beach, maintains a private police force, and upholds architectural guidelines — came into being. Aside from the estates, most of which cannot be seen from the road through the dense foliage, Hope Ranch is also home to La Cumbre Country Club and Laguna Blanca School, both very visible from Las Palmas Road, which meanders through the community. You may also spot people riding their horses underneath the shade of majestic oak trees, as a large network of trails, which can also be hiked, explores the entire ranch.

Though secluded, Hope Ranch is quite close to town, particularly the La Cumbre Mall and Five Points Shopping Center along Upper State Street in Santa Barbara. On the other side of the community is Hendry’s Beach, officially known as Arroyo Burro, where dog-walkers can take a break by sipping on margaritas and chomping ahi club sandwiches at The Boathouse Restaurant.

Urban convenience mixed with utmost coastal California luxury does come at quite a steep price, and there are very few bargains to find, but if you can afford it, Hope Ranch just might be the best place to live on the planet. n
