I used to feel lost.

I went to courtrooms a lot, but I didn’t understand what the grown-ups were saying.

They used scary words, like “abuse” and “neglect.”

I felt like I was all alone.

But then, someone found me.

One of America’s Most Treasured Artists Takes Her New Company of 12 Dancers on Tour

– Twyla Tharp

50th Anniversary Tour FRI, OCT 9 / 8 PM / GRANADA THEATRE Tickets start at $40 / $19 UCSB students A Granada facility fee will be added to each ticket price

“Nonstop, fierce bravura, delivered with mind-boggling stamina.” The New York Times An American original, Tharp takes a new company of 12 dancers on a national tour with a new set of works that showcases her signature style – bold, brash and painstakingly precise – set to an equally diverse soundtrack with music by John Zorn, J.S. Bach, Henry Butler and Steven Bernstein.

Don’t miss this special community event!

Twyla Tharp’s The One Hundreds SAT, OCT 10 / PUBLIC PERFORMANCE AT 3 PM ALAMEDA PARK / FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC “The One Hundreds, an experimental work from 1970, a moment when ordinary people, doing ordinary moves, had transfixed the dance avant-garde.” The New Yorker Twyla Tharp brings her groundbreaking work The One Hundreds to Santa Barbara. 100 dancers and non-dancers perform 100 movement phrases at 11 seconds each. This must-see spectacle is a dynamic display of order in breathtaking chaos. Bring a picnic blanket or a low-backed lawn chair and see performance art history in the making!

it’s a Dog Fight

Sorting Out the City Council Race District by District IN THE RUNNING: A candidate forum sponsored by the Arts Alliance featured nine of the 12 running for City Council seats in Districts 1, 2, and 3. Districts 4, 5, and 6 will vote in the next city election.

A

by N i c k W e l s h

nyone tuning into this year’s Santa Barbara City Council elections could be excused for thinking there’s an avalanche of abandoned mattresses being dumped on city streets and curbs. This is the year of the micro issues: midnight mattress dumpers,“outsiders” parking on other people’s streets, and speedsters transforming small neighborhood thoroughfares into drag strips.

Hugely absent is the usual rhetoric about public safety, the homeless, and city budgets.

To the extent candidates running for office are tackling big-picture problems like the excruciatingly high cost of Santa Barbara’s housing, it’s by way of comment on vacation rentals.

(No one’s for them.) There’s almost no talk at all of the drought or of City Hall’s $450 million in unmet infrastructure needs. And for obvious reason.

For the first time in 60 years, Santa Barbara voters are electing their candidates according to geographical districts, not at-large seats.

With the arrival of district elections, candidates are focusing far more on district problems and district solutions. If all politics are local, Santa Barbara’s just went hyper-local.

Ballots for the city’s all-mail election go out October 5. Given the compressed geographic size of the freshly drawn districts, the candidates should have to spend significantly less to wage credible campaigns, thus making City Hall—at least theoretically—more politically accessible to a broader cross section of the community. But conversely, in some districts with histories of very low voter participation, City Council candidates — who would vote on matters affecting the entire city — could win with just 750 votes. That’s in stark contrast to the 8,000 votes typically needed to secure victory under the old at-large system.

City Hall shifted to district elections earlier this year to settle a lawsuit alleging Santa Barbara’s traditional at-large election system 8

tHe INDePeNDeNt

violated California’s Voting Rights Act. It will take a few election cycles to determine if the new system will deliver more ethnically diverse councils, but that being said, the skin tone of the 10 candidates showing up at this year’s forums is decidedly more bronze than usual. (Technically, there are 12 names on the ballot, but listed candidates Robert Burke and Michael Merenda have either withdrawn or are simply not running.)

Seven of the 10 have Latino-sounding last names, five speak Spanish fluently, and one can get by okay. One was born in Mexico. Another, Murillo, is an incumbent, and another, Luis Esparza, has served on two city commissions.

Three — Jason Dominguez, Andria Martinez Cohen, and Cristina Cardoso — are brand new to city politics, and one, Jacqueline Inda, has a long history of community involvement.

Ultimately, politics is a group endeavor.

In this year’s race, an improvised coalition of Republican Party activists, business movers and shakers, and activists involved with the Milpas Community Association have joined together to back candidates Randy Rowse, Sharon Byrne, and Jason Dominguez. It’s a de facto slate. Typically, this coalition’s members support public safety but not public-safety unions, opposes increased housing densities, and likes fewer regulations.

On the flip side, the Democratic Party has combined with CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy) and Service Employees International Union to endorse and fund incumbent Cathy Murillo for the Westside seat and Andria Martinez Cohen for the open Eastside seat.

This crew supports public-employee unions and minimum-wage hikes, and is willing to push increased housing densities in hopes of achieving some modicum of affordability.

Both are backed financially by Russell Trenholme, a wealthy, crusty, outspoken, behindthe-scenes player who actively opposed the proposed gang injunction and who supports neighborhood-centric Latino leaders not beholden to political parties, even if that means the Democrats.

A man walking his dog on the morning of 9/28 spotted a panga boat washed ashore at San Onofre Beach in Gaviota State Park, which authorities confirmed to be a drugsmuggling boat. Sheriff’s deputies and State Park personnel discovered two marijuana bales, fuel barrels, and other items abandoned at the boat. Two suspects found nearby — Francisco Soltero, 32, and James Pierce, 38, both of the Riverside area — were booked into County Jail on alleged charges of moving and selling marijuana and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

Just days after raising $66 million in a public offering, Goleta-based breast implant manufacturer Sientra is facing multiple class-action lawsuits that allege violations of federal securities laws. On 9/23, the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency suspended the sale of Silimed-brand implants after a safety inspection at one of the company’s manufacturing plants revealed that the surfaces of some devices — including silicone breast, pectoral, calf, and facial implants — were “contaminated with particles.” The lawsuits claim Sientra executives knew of the Silimed contamination issues but hid the information from investors before the public offering. cou rtesy

District 1

Of all the districts, the Eastside’s District 1 boasts the fewest number of councilmembers who’ve lived there or run from there. Of all the races, it’s the most up for grabs. With low turnout and no incumbent vying to stay in office, anyone could win.

All five of the candidates qualify as genuine outsiders, novices, or both. One of the five— Michael Merenda— Merenda has yet to show up for a single forum, and Cruzito Cruz— Cruz a perennial candidate now on his fourth campaign—is not raising cash or engaging in the rigors of conventional electioneering.

JACQUELINE INDA: Of the three remaining, Jacqueline Inda is banking on her homefield advantage; she was born and raised, and works, on Eastside turf. Inda, now 36 and a single mother of three, grew up the hard way.

At age 12, she was declared a foster child and spent time in more foster homes than she cares to recall. Along the way, many “angels” came to her rescue, which she says has inspired her to “pay it forward.”

As an adult, Inda became a foster parent herself and has since become immersed in countless nonprofits seeking to create safe havens for at-risk teens. When suicides spiked among young gang members several years ago, Inda—a former Red Cross worker—was among activists who sought to cobble together a meaningful response within the Latino comcont’d page 10 

A Santa Barbara woman sentenced to prison for engaging in a long-term sexual relationship with her son’s 13-year-old friend is now suing her ex-husband for spousal support.

Cottage Hospital crept one step further in its ongoing campaign to merge with Sansum Clinic, announcing it had found a prospective purchaser of its outpatient surgical center located on the 2400 block of Castillo Street by Oak Park. The Federal Trade Commission has insisted that Cottage divest itself of the surgical center as a necessary precondition for approval of the merger out of concern about a medical monopoly and chilling effect on surgical competition. Both Cottage and Sansum have such centers, and if the two merge, no entities will exist that can provide competitive services.

Cottage issued a press release naming United Surgical Partners International as its prospective partner. The company was recently purchased by Tenet Healthcare — formerly headquartered in Santa Barbara — and boasts 249 “ambulatory” surgical clinics, 18 short-stay surgical hospitals, and 20 imaging centers in 29 states. According to business news, United Surgical Partners typically partners with existing hospitals and offers management expertise in running the lucrative surgical clinics. It’s not clear whether Cottage intends to sell its clinic outright to United Surgical or allow the company to run it. Cottage officials state it will take five months to conduct the due diligence necessary to determine whether the — Nick Welsh transaction passes muster.

Santa Barbara County — in addition to the 27 stores already scheduled to shutter. On a brighter note, the Federal Trade Commission announced on 9/26 it approved Albertsons’ application to hire back most Haggen workers — except pharmacy staff — dissolving the antitrust restriction prohibiting Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions from employing former workers until a year after Haggen’s acquisition of their stores.

Three area Vons stores are being sued on behalf of 500 past and present employees for labor-code violations. The class-action lawsuit — filed by Anticouni & Associates on 9/25 in Santa Barbara Superior Court — alleges Vons managers for four years failed to pay overtime, required employees to work on their lunch breaks, and falsified time sheets so it appeared employees took regular breaks. Plaintiffs are seeking four years of unpaid wages — estimated to exceed $4 million — and attorney’s fees, among other compensation.

CIty A beloved Santa Barbara institution of 37 years folded this week with the closing of Sojourner Café, the hip and healthy eatery on East Canon Perdido Street. Expressing thanks to “all those who have been a part of keeping the vision of the Sojourner going for all these years,” owner since 1999 Donna Mudge said in an email to reporters, “It’s been a great run and there are many memories. May we all have such great adventures.

We’ll see you in the next chapter.” She didn’t go into details on reasons for the closure but had unsuccessfully searched for a partner or investor to keep the business afloat.

Popular Santa Barbara seafood spot Arch Rock Fish announced 9/29 on Facebook that it’s closing down. Last year, the well-known Bennett family, which owns and runs Brophy Bros., Benchmark Eatery, Farmer Boy, On the Alley, and The Cliff Room, took over the Anacapa Street restaurant in part, they told Restaurant Guy John Dickson, to provide a stable tenant for landlord Hutton Parker Founda-

tion. Arch Rock’s good-bye message said, “[W]e retained most of the staff, improved service, remodeled, restructured management, and stayed committed to the loyal customer base. Unfortunately Arch Rock Fish wasn’t able to be saved.”

Poor preplanning and too few security guards led to slow lines and long waits at the Glass Animals show on 9/20 at Earl Warren, according to Earl Warren CEO Scott Grieve.

“Maybe we’re not as well-oiled as the Bowl, but we’re experienced enough that this shouldn’t have happened,” Grieve said. And so, Earl Warren and promoters The Goodland, RedEye Presents, and Music Is Love discussed improvements for next time, when concertgoers can expect earlier entry times and that they will not undergo airport-level security.

The Santa Barbara News-Press building, located in De la Guerra Plaza kitty-corner from City Hall, was declared an official city landmark this Tuesday by a vote of the City Council. News-Press owner Wendy McCaw, a historic preservation enthusiast, did not oppose the designation. The News-Press was built in 1922 and designed by architect George Washington Smith. Only those portions of the building and its tower that were built at that time are covered by the landmark designation. Also landmarked Tuesday was the San Marcos building, located at 1129 State Street, and Peter Grant House, located at 1804 Cleveland Avenue.

To help jump-start car sharing in downtown Santa Barbara, the City Council voted to set aside as many as 10 parking spaces — six downtown and four in the outlying neighborhoods — for car-sharing companies. City traffic engineers cited statistics provided by the car-share industry indicating one carshare vehicle can eliminate as many as 15 vehicles on streets and roads. Car sharing is taking place in and around City College and UCSB in hopes of providing for the transportation needs of students while minimizing actual ownership. cont’d page 10 

Few gestures express appreciation as loudly as a $10,000-a-year raise, and this week, the Santa Barbara City Council did just that for City Attorney Ariel Calonne, celebrating his first year on the job after replacing Steve Wiley, who received $115,000 in other pay and benefits on top of his $240,000 salary as of 2013. For Calonne, who now will earn a base salary of $238,000, the honeymoon at City Hall remains an ongoing affair. Only Councilmember Gregg Hart expressed qualms about the size of the raise, noting that many city employees are not getting anything as substantial.

The moon ran red Sunday night in a supermoon eclipse (pictured), the first one since 1982 and the last one for another 18 years.

The rare event takes place when the sun, Earth, and moon line up in a row when the moon is at perigee, the spot in its oblong orbit that brings it closest to the Earth. The lunar eclipse was also the last in a series of four spanning two years, a phenomenon called a tetrad. Those can happen a couple of times a century or just once in a few hundred years.

Tap water in Solvang, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Orcutt, and Santa Maria tastes odd of late, but that’s a regular outcome of a

long, hot summer and the leisurely currents lazing through the State Water Project canals. The increase in blue-green algae and resulting musty taste and odor out of North County taps pose no danger to health, assured Matt van der Linden, director of Solvang’s Public Works, and is actually not as bad as it was last year when the algae bloomed in July and August.

EDuCAtION In response to growing community concern about large numbers of international students attending schools that teach English, the Santa Barbara Community College Board of Trustees voted 4-2 not to extend its contract with Kaplan International English to lease campus space. The Kaplan lease expires 2017, and the school currently has 220 students enrolled. Kaplan is one of a handful of English-language schools that have drawn the ire of community activists concerned that the presence of so many international students was pushing rents up and local families out.

ENVIRONmENt The tiny goldspotted oak borer, which feeds under the bark of red oak varieties and can kill them, has now moved from San Diego to Los Angeles County. It’s been found 100 miles from Santa Barbara in Green Valley near Lancaster, according to the Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office. No chemical or pesticidal controls exist to fight the beetle. Limiting the invasive bugs’ spread is the only pest management strategy, and the public is asked to use local firewood and not move wood between areas.

Bug sightings can be reported to the UC Cooperative Extension website (gsob.org) or the county ag office at 681-5600. n

District elections cont’d from p. 8 munity. When City Hall announced in 2011 its intentions to pursue a gang injunction, she was among the first to hold community forums in opposition.

Two years ago, Inda became one of five plaintiffs to sue City Hall for district elections. She shrugs off criticism that the lawsuit violated the democratic spirit that should have guided so momentous a change, insisting it was filed as a last resort only after City Hall failed to act multiple times. If elected, Inda’s pledged to make City Hall more accessible by using her Milpas Street campaign headquarters as a council office.

She’s also been in the forefront of the campaign against the Eastside Business Improvement District (EBID) pushed by Sharon Byrne (herself a candidate) and the Milpas Community Association (MCA).

Inda argues the EBID would accelerate the gentrification now underway on the Haley and Milpas corridors and that MCA failed to consult with many of the smaller Latinoowned businesses before announcing its plan. Inda has since unveiled a competing business improvement plan of her own.

Inda’s role in the anti-EBID effort went radioactive this February when she participated in a Sunday-afternoon demonstration, led by PODER (People Organized for the Defense and Equal Rights of S.B.Youth), targeting the owner of El Bajio restaurant, who supports the EBID. The owner contended protesters, picketing and chanting outside and later going inside, intimidated his staff and customers. Police were called twice. Inda claimed she participated to provide a calming presence but that she regretted her involvement.

Inda’s participation in that event is frequently cited by mainstream activists of both the left and right for their political discomfort with her candidacy. Likewise, many in the Democratic activist community, generally suspicious of district elections, expressed bewilderment that Inda and other district-election plaintiffs accepted consultant money from the oil industry to speak out against Measure P, the ill-fated anti-fracking ballot measure in 2014. Inda argued the ballot measure would have reduced revenues that might otherwise go cont’d page 13 

INTERNATIONAL SERIES AT THE GRANADA THEATRE

A scathing inspection report released this week by the county’s Public Health Department states Dr. Allen Thomashefsky — who is believed to have infected five people with hepatitis C on the same day — reused syringes, did not wear gloves or wash his hands, and kept sloppy records at his Bath Street practice.

Two weeks ago, after working with Thomashefsky to set up protocols to address health risks at his office, Public Health rescinded an order that closed his office for six months, but the status of his state medical license is still unclear.

Public Health conducted three inspections, two of which were unannounced, on Thomashefsky’s office, where he practiced prolotherapy, a regenerative injection therapy lauded by some patients who want to avoid surgery. The visits came after Public Health investigated all medical practices seen by a patient of Thomashefky’s who acquired hep C. Thousands of letters were sent to his previous patients, and seven patients tested positive for hep C; one case was believed to be a prior infection.

The report states Thomashefsky told inspectors “his regular practice is to re-use syringes between injecting a patient” and that “he did not believe blood got into the syringe.” He failed to label all multidose vials with a date, the report found, and used single-dose vials for multidose purposes. Thomashefsky, who worked part-time in Oregon with another doctor, has a solo practice in Santa Barbara. His daughter is reportedly his receptionist, who “played a significant role in processing all specimens for re-injection” but did not have infection control or medical training, the report states. She squirted leftover patient plasma and fat down the sink, aiming “for the little holes in the drain” to avoid splattering. She did not label syringes with patient info, the report states, even though multiple procedures were performed on the same day. When asked, “she stated she just keeps them straight,” the report states.

A state medical board spokesperson said she could not discuss complaints but was aware Thomashefsky’s Oregon license had been suspended. Public Health is expected to release a full investigative report in December. A former patient retained attorney Barry Cappello and filed a neglected-medical-care complaint — Kelsey Brugger against Thomashefsky last week.

ANDRIA MARTINEZ COHEN: Instead, the party hitched its wagon to the brand-new star of Andria Martinez Cohen—a loan officer for a private nonprofit agency that extends funds primarily to targets women and minority businesses — who readily concedes her lack of involvement in Santa Barbara politics prior to this January. Martinez Cohen moved to Santa Barbara 10 years ago, settling into a downtown household with three classmates from UCLA. Like Dominguez, her mother is Anglo and her father Latino, and she comes from a family of teachers. Both candidates learned Spanish while in Mexico: Martinez Cohen while working in the hospitality industry and Dominguez while attending a Mexican law school.

Once in Santa Barbara, Martinez Cohen worked for years for Women’s Economic Ventures—located on the city’s Eastside—arranging microloans for small start-up businesses run by women and minorities. After that she took a position with the National Development Council, arranging bigger loans for similar enterprises by leveraging municipal funds made available for such purposes in 10 Southern California

JASON DOMINGUEZ: Dominguez is touted by supporters as “the rational” candidate. Of anyone in the race, he clearly boasts the most gold-plated résumé. Not only did he graduate from Stanford and later UC Berkeley Law, but he also worked for both the Los Angeles City Attorney and District Attorney offices, ran once for Los Angeles City Council, and then toiled three years for Santa Barbara’s County Counsel office, where he was nicknamed “Dweezil”—after Frank Zappa’s son—by his boss.

Having spent a few months in East Germany right before the Berlin Wall was torn down, Dominguez said he started politics as a Reagan Republican. In addition, he spent time in Yugoslavia and Mexico during his college years, mastering along the way three foreign languages and achieving functional proficiency in two more. After working for Santa Barbara County, Dominguez moved to The Hague, where he worked for the International Criminal Court and was involved with the team prosecuting, among others, Yugoslavian warlord Slobodan Milošević. After that, Dominguez taught law at an all-black college in Texas, put in a stint with California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA), and most recently served as director of the Santa Barbara Legal Aid Foundation.

There he lasted just eight months, leaving, he explained, after a disagreement with the board. Legal Aid was in dire financial straits at the time, and during his brief tenure, painful layoffs were made. If bruised memories persist, Dominguez said he left the organization on firmer footing than when he started. He has since embarked on the creation of a new nonprofit, the Santa Barbara Justice Center, which will target affordable legal services for seniors in need.

For much of his time in Santa Barbara, Dominguez has lived just outside the boundaries of District 1. While he supports MCA’s proposed Business Improvement District, he took no position on district elections or the gang injunction.

At candidates forums, Dominguez comes across polished and professional, and he answers many questions by referring to his astonishing quilt of professional experiences. As for the strong skepticism he elicits from Santa Barbara’s progressive community, Dominguez points out his work with CRLA and Legal Aid, not to mention his new nonprofit. “It’s never been about the money,” he said.“It’s always been about the service.”

Dominguez, like Inda, sought the Democratic Party endorsement but didn’t get it.

cities. That experience, Martinez Cohen says, gives her an upclose-and-personal vantage point for how cities can stimulate economic development.

Where such stimulation is concerned, she says, City Hall could do more than it currently does. Two years ago, she and her husband bought a home — their first — in the Eastside district. Her neighborhood, she said,“has always been underrepresented,” and she vows to bring the same “passion for empowerment” to the council as she now does to her job.

Earlier this year, Martinez Cohen attended a forum featuring three women holding public office—Cathy Murillo, County Supervisor Janet Wolf, and school boardmember Monique Limón. She was inspired.

About the same time, Martinez Cohen enrolled in an Antioch class on women’s empowerment taught by former supervisor and Democratic mover and shaker Susan Rose.

That inspired her, as well. It would be Santa Barbara City Councilmember Gregg Hart who pressed her into running for office. As Martinez Cohen jumped in, her Antioch class project would become her political campaign.“It’s not necessarily a bad thing being so new,” she said. “I can bring a fresh perspective, and I don’t have so much baggage.”

District 2

RANDY ROWSE: Unless City Councilmember Randy Rowse is abducted by aliens in the next five weeks, he should win the first race for District 2 without breaking a sweat. A decline-tostate moderate with a pro-business agenda, Rowse has relentlessly pushed for safe, clean streets and budgetary restraint during his five years on the council. Rowse successfully led the charge to deploy Community Service Officers to protect State Street shoppers from panhandlers and street people. His mantra over the years has been “Perception is reality,” meaning visitors and residents need to feel safe.

As one of the council’s three reliably “conservative” votes, Rowse has taken pains to avoid ideological rigidity. He declined to attend the Republican Party’s pre-Labor Day event this year, wondering why he’d want to hang out with Donald Trump supporters, right-to-lifers, and anti-gaymarriage advocates. On tax-and-spend issues, Rowse demonstrated an openness to a new sales tax to help address City Hall’s backlog of $450 million in unmet capital improvements. Rowse showed up at numerous community forums to gauge public sentiment for such an increase, and he was uncharacteristically angry when the council failed to vote to put the issue to city voters this November.

Behind the scenes, Rowse is frequently on the horn to city administrators, acting as unofficial bee in their bonnet for people and businesses caught up in City Hall’s red tape.

Missy McSweeney-Zeitsoff — might have gotten Democratic support if she hadn’t declared it was against her principles to take anyone’s money or put up yard signs.

McSweeney-Zeitsoff is now starting her first term on the city’s Fire and Police Commission, which makes sense given one of her brothers is chief of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Bureau and one of her sons works as a firefighter for Montecito Fire.

Now a substitute teacher for Notre Dame School and Carpinteria School District, she has also worked at the county’s juvenile hall, not to mention a statewide lockup for juvenile offenders. McSweeney-Zeitsoff tempers her gospel of public safety with concerns about social justice. As for government experience, she served on the first Malibu City Council as a slow-growth environmentalist, campaigning against the installation of sewer laterals for their growth-inducing propensities.

During a recent forum hosted by arts advocates, McSweeney-Zeitsoff stood up and announced she had to leave to see the movie Black Mass with her son. He’d just gotten back from fighting one of the major fires engulfing Northern California, she said, and he wanted to see the movie.“Sometimes you have to make tough choices,” she explained, garnering a round of applause on her way out the door.

LUIS ESPARZA: While Luis Esparza is not as fussy about not taking other people’s money, he may as well be. Having amassed a campaign war chest of only $2,148, Esparza, an attorney in private practice for 12 years, harbors few illusions of election-night upsets.

he grew up in, attributes his renewed sense of public service to the birth of his son a year ago. He’s currently a member of the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury. Before that, he served on an obscure city commission overseeing a small handful of pensions for retired police officers and firefighters. And before that, he sat on a commission created to ensure marijuana possession was assigned the absolute lowest priority by city cops.

In person and at forums, Esparza speaks softly, choosing his words slowly and carefully, not feeling the need to fill his allotted time limit. He espouses a point of view gently infused with libertarian sentiment. Of all the candidates, Esparza is the least inclined to support an outright ban on vacation rentals. To do so, he cautioned, would only push them underground, thus denying City Hall the revenue they generate. Besides, he added, there are market forces driving the demand for short-term rentals. “We need reasonable regulations,” he said,“not prohibition.”

The same holds true, he said, for medical marijuana dispensaries. City Hall may have shut the door on storefront outlets, he said, but at least 50 home-delivery services have sprung up in their place. That may suit certain out-of-sight, out-of-mind sensibilities, he said, but it deprives those in genuine need of being able to select the medical marijuana varietal that best suits their purpose.

With a statewide ballot measure looming to legalize recreational pot use, he argued, City Hall would be well advised to position itself accordingly.“It’s all about reasonable regulation,” he said.

District 3

On paper, this should be incumbent Councilmember Cathy Murillo’s election to lose.

Four years ago, Murillo — then running as an upstart, outsider candidate — picked up 65 percent of the votes in the precincts making up the new Westside district and confounded the experts by placing second citywide. Today, Murillo finds herself running for the second time against Sharon Byrne, the moving force behind the Milpas Community Association (MCA) — not to mention forceful newcomer Cristina Cardoso, whose yard signs run a full paragraph long.

Murillo and Byrne are both tough, scrappy, streetwise advocates who lead simultaneously with chin and heart. Both campaign incredibly hard. Neither is averse to throwing an elbow. Over the years, both

have thrown more than a few at each other over a host of issues. When Byrne was complaining how management of Casa Esperanza homeless shelter failed to contain the unruly elements congregating nearby, Murillo — who spent three nights there while covering the shelter as a reporter for The Santa Barbara Independent—jumped passionately to the shelter’s defense. When Byrne launched a campaign to start the Eastside Business Improvement District, Murillo went into red-alert mode, warning affected businesses that Byrne and the MCA were going to gentrify them out of existence.

At times, it’s seemed more personal than political. Among City Hall insiders, the race is often described as “a cat fight.” A more apt description, Byrne countered, is “dog fight.”

The real question is, she said, “Who’s going to work the hardest? Who’s going to work ’til they drop?” Thus far, it appears they both are. And so, too, is Cardoso, an energetic personality in her own right, having moved to Santa Maria from Mexico at age 16 to attend school and pick strawberries on land her family rented there.

CATHY MURILLO: There’s rarely any ambiguity about where Cathy Murillo stands.

At council meetings, she’s typically the first one to express her thoughts and is quick to make a motion. A pro-union, pro-fish environmentalist even during the drought, Murillo has been exceptionally attentive to the needs of the Santa Barbara Democratic activist community. She was the first councilmember, for example, to oppose the gang injunction, arguing it unfairly stigmatized Latino neighborhoods and Latino teens. She demonstrated earlier this year in front of the Santa Barbara News-Press when the daily paper insisted on blaring the inflammatory word “Illegals” on front-page headlines. And Murillo effectively killed a ballot measure pushed by Mayor Helene Schneider because it conflicted with the pro-union values she inherited from her grandmother in East L.A. where she grew up, the daughter of a gangbanging drug dealer.

Among her more conservative colleagues, Murillo frequently elicits eye rolls and stifled groans.“You need radicals like Earth First to make the Sierra Club look reasonable,” said one progressive strategist.“Cathy’s played the

role of Earth First.” Murillo’s quick to point out she also gets stuff done. She pushed to get cut hours restored to the downtown and Eastside libraries. Mindful of her role as the council’s sole Latina, she held office hours at the Franklin Center, as well. She supported funding to study how to create a year-round field at Bohnett Park, lobbied City Hall to extend the contract with the Boys & Girls Clubs, and was instrumental in bringing a Westside neighborhood committee back to life.

When asked about her interest in running for mayor two years hence, Murillo bristles.

“That’s so rude to both me and the mayor,” she exclaimed. When asked how she’s evolved in four years, she said, “I think I’m a little more pushy now, but nicely though.”

SHARON BYRNE: Taking Murillo on in her own backyard is Sharon Byrne, a downtownWestside resident who made her bones as an Eastside agitator with the Milpas Community Association. (Ironically, it would be plaintiffs in the district-elections lawsuit who would lobby Byrne to run against the only Latina ever elected to the council.)

The consummate neighborhood activist, Byrne — who supported the gang injunction—triggered the change of management at Casa Esperanza while simultaneously working hard to find housing for the 10 most problematic street people on Milpas.

She can point to the artwork produced by local schoolkids, now adorning the trash cans along Milpas Street. Byrne insists her candidacy has nothing to do with Murillo’s aggressive opposition to the EBID. “I like to get stuff done,” Byrne said. “It’s what I do.”

CRISTINA CARDOSO: Attacking Murillo from the left is Cristina Cardoso, a Housing Authority employee who connects lowincome families with a diminishing number of affordable units. A life coach who mentors 23 young women, Cardoso used to work for the school district, focusing her passion on Latino students struggling to make it. Her campaign is largely self-funded, and when she knocks on doors, she walks alone. She’s running to get representation that the Westside has been lacking, she says. “I’m a leader.

If I want things to change, I have to be the n one to make it happen,” she said.

Lois Lindt

09/29/1915 – 12/23/13

Lois Lindt died December 23, 2013, in Santa Barbara, at the venerable age of 98 years. After playing classical music—from Bach to Debussy—for most of those years, and charming just about everyone she met, Lois’s heart gave out, and she died peacefully in her sleep.

But this week is her 100th birthday.

Lois was born 100 years ago on September 29, 1915, in Chicago, IL, to Sam and Mabel Keck, while Sam was studying at Chicago Theological Seminary. The family then moved to Deadwood, SD, in the Black 16

tHe INDePeNDeNt

Hills, where Sam had his first parsonage at the Congregational Church. Lois’s younger siblings,“the twins”—Elinor and Sam, Jr., were born a few years later. The family moved to Watertown, SD, and then to Huron, where Lois grew up and graduated from high school in 1933.

Childhood summers were spent in the beautiful Black Hills, and Lois related so many fond memories, including her as a teen sitting on a hillside watching the building of Mt. Rushmore. She continued to spend many wonderful vacations there with Elinor’s family and friends from the Black Hills Playhouse, right up until the last few years of her life.

Lois studied classical music from a young age and deeply loved the piano.

While she loved her musical studies at Yankton College, she ultimately took a minor there in music performance. Lois had an empathetic heart and a practical bent, and chose to major in social work.

She then earned her masters degree in social work at Washington University in St. Louis.

It was there that Lois met a handsome young German Jewish immigrant, Hendrik Lindt, who by all accounts swept her off her feet. Lois Elaine Keck married Hendrik Lindt in 1941 in Huron, South Dakota, the ceremony officiated over by her father, Dr. Keck. Over the years the couple raised three children, John born in 1946, Josephine born in 1951, and Peggy in 1955.

From wildly different backgrounds, somehow the couple’s worldviews seemed to mesh, and their children followed suit, pursuing paths in the arts, medicine, and public policy. John reports, writes, and publishes on current environmental and business concerns in California, Josephine works with families and children as a developmental pediatrician, and Peggy has become an accomplished artist and illustrator.

The family lived in all parts of the United States, but in 1966 they were thrilled to settle in Santa Barbara, where they had bought a cozy, oak-studded home; Hendrik was also able to indulge his lifelong love of sailing. Lois loved the house’s birdfilled canyon setting and lived out most of her life there.

Both Hendrik and Lois were involved in the helping professions. Lois did social work, centered on helping children through work in the fields of adoption and developmental disabilities. Before retirement from work with the County of Santa Barbara in 1976, Lois was involved in creating state programs and services for those with developmental disabilities as a member of the Area Board for the Santa Barbara region. Hendrik’s career was deeply involved in the development of group therapy services; in Santa Barbara, he worked as a psychiatric social worker and therapist for the County and had a private psychotherapy practice.

But Hendrik passed away in 1969. Lois soldiered on, with the two girls still in their teens at home and John away in graduate school. Thankfully, Lois’s sister Elinor with husband Leroy (Hap) Haberman and their son Jim had also settled nearby in Ventura and provided much needed love, fun, and support through the years.

A trip to England together in 1976 was a dream come true for everyone. Mom lost her dear sister Elinor in 2012; brother Sam had passed away many years earlier—too early!—in 1972.

In retirement, Lois was free to pursue her deep love of music, and she continued to play the piano. She stayed involved in community affairs through her work with the League of Women Voters, as well.

Adventures and road trips to the Sierras, the redwoods, and to the Black Hills with family and friends were frequent throughout the years. Being out in nature

october 1, 2015

meant the world to Lois, and even as the drives into the country became shorter and shorter throughout the years, they nourished her soul.

But music was her passion. Lois was involved in chamber music groups and enjoyed the thriving classical music scene of Santa Barbara for the past 40 years. She never missed the Music Academy of the West’s summer programs, particularly loving Jerome Lowenthal’s piano masterclasses. Even in her last summer, she attended the Pianofest there, and was able to attend one more master class, despite increasing weakness and fatigue. Her last years were spent at Maravilla retirement community, where she was able to give Christmas Carol recitals for her fellow retirees, up until her last Christmas there.

Lois’s children and grandchildren still mourn her loss and find so precious the memories of her playing Debussy’s Claire de Lune—a favorite—as well as Bach, Beethoven, and Dvorak. Best for us, though, was being awakened on our birthdays by her playing Happy Birthday on the piano, or on a wedding day, hearing Mendelssohn’s Wedding March played along with our morning coffee. Singing carols around the piano on Christmas Eve was the most delightful tradition of all.

Now on the 100th Anniversary of her birth—we salute you, Lois! We miss you, and love you always, darling!

- Jo and Mark, Peg and Eric, and John and Marge, grandkids Berkeley (Meghan) and Rachel (Kevin), and Hap, Jim, and Sharon Haberman, our dearest uncle and cousins.

George White

02/27/32 – 09/10/15

George White, a computer entrepreneur whose companies helped first The Boston Globe, and then newspapers across the U.S. and internationally, move from hot-metal to electronic pre-press production, died September 10, 2015. He was 83.

Mr. White, who was a Boston native and a lifelong die-hard Red Sox fan, was a member of the Harvard Class of 1953, earning his BA in mathematics and later a Master’s degree, also at Harvard, in 1955.

He was an early computer advocate. Following two years of army service, where he worked with Werner Von Braun on satellite development, he joined IBM as a sales representative and sold IBM’s first transistor-based computers for use in the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System. He served as a long-time director of Cullinet Corporation, the first computer software company to go public on the New York Stock exchange. He then worked for a number of smaller computer companies before co-founding Camex, Inc. in 1974.

Camex was sold to DuPont in 1989.

Mr. White then founded ACI, Inc., which allowed advertisers who made up their own ads to transmit them electronically via the Internet to the newspapers where they were to run.

Mr. White retired in 1998, and he and his wife, Gail, continued living in their

homes in Waban and West Chatham, Mas Massachusetts, until moving to Santa Barbara in 2014 to be closer to their sons Stephen, of Goleta, and Michael, of San Francisco. A daughter, Linda, died in 1979.

Mr. White died from prostate cancer.

He leaves his beloved wife, sons, and his dear granddaughter, Lydia.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in George’s memory to Serenity House, 930 Miramonte Drive, Santa Barbara, CA 93109 or the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123-1718.

Spencer Allen Conway 09/27/45 – 09/17/15

Spencer Allen Conway died peacefully at his home in Isla Vista on 9/17/2015 surrounded by friends and family just days before his 70th birthday. The cause of his death was congestive heart failure secondary to Becker Muscular Dystrophy with which Spencer demonstrated a valiant lifelong struggle. A counselor, artist, musician, and dear friend, Spencer was exceptional in many ways and will be missed by many.

Born September 27, 1945, in Long Island, New York to Helen (Binnie) and Everett (Connie) Conway, Spencer’s family moved to California in 1951. Spencer attended Mira Costa High in Manhattan Beach, graduating in 1963. There he formed lifelong friendships with a funloving group of surf buddies who brought joy and laughter to Spencer throughout his life. With their help and friendship, Spencer enjoyed many quality years. Thanks to Danny Berry, Jim Calhoon, Johnny Leinau and Wes Herman!

Spencer graduated from UCSB with a degree in geography in 1970 and earned a Master’s degree in clinical psychology from Antioch in 1996. He worked as a counselor for several nonprofit social service agencies, including Domestic Violence Solutions and Project Recovery. Spencer retired in 2014 from the Department of (Vocational) Rehabilitation and had served on the State Rehabilitation Council in Sacramento for many years. He was a compassionate and insightful counselor, colleague and friend to many. Thanks to dear friends and coworkers at the DOR for their support and friendship through the years!

Spencer loved music and worked in earlier years as a professional drummer.

Living in the Goleta area since 1963, he was a member of 20+ bands, including The Tridents (1964-1965), The Alexander’s Timeless Bloozband (1966-68), and The Jack McVoutie Band (1978-80). The ATB opened for The Doors, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, and Iron Butterfly, among other noteworthy bands.

Spencer will be especially remembered for his beautiful watercolor paintings and later photography that he sold at the Cabrillo beach show and Yes Store for many years. Most of his subjects included the ocean he so loved, beautiful sunsets, and local Santa Barbara landscapes.

Spencer was remarkable in so many

ways. His grit and determination helped him achieve many life goals despite his increasing physical challenges. He spoke up famously for what he believed, whether at work staff meetings or city council meetings. He struggled fiercely to maintain his independence to the end. Spencer lived by his own terms and was ready to walk when he did.

Family members were special to Spencer and held a dear place in his heart.

Survivors include Spencer’s wife Karen, nephews Eddie (wife Julie) and Mike (wife Kim) Conway, and niece Salli Conway.

Spencer was preceded in death by his dear brother, Tim Conway, and his parents.

Many thanks to Spencer’s Isla Vista neighbor friends and his team of amazing caregivers for all their help! Spencer had a tenacious spirit but could not have accomplished all he did without support.

Although Spencer’s friends are deeply saddened by his passing, they find joy in knowing that, after so many years of physical struggle, Spencer can finally walk again.

Spencer cared deeply about the health of our oceans, forests, and wildlife. His passion for surfing was a measure of his love and respect for nature, particularly the ocean. Spencer was fearlessly outspoken when it came to defending the environment. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: S.B. Community Environmental Council (cecsb.org), S.B. Channelkeeper (sbck.org), S.B. Environmental Defense Center (edcnet.org), or SaveTheRedwoods.com. A memorial service will be held at a future date TBA.

Denny Alexander Gaston 11/11/40 – 07/19/15

Denny Alexander Gaston, loving husband and father, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, July 19, 2015, at age 74 in Ventura. He was born in Santa Monica on November 11, 1940 to the late Donald Gaston and Audrey Ruth Mecca.

He achieved his degree of Juris Doctor from southwestern University in 1974.

Denny met his wife, Denia Arvizu while serving with a group called World Health Volunteers, which used to fly to Sonora, Mexico, providing medical services to Indian Yaquis.

Denny enjoyed traveling, which included Alaska, Canada, Hawaii, Mexico, and almost every state in the United States.

He used to own Brown’s Mission Pharmacy in Santa Barbara until 1993 when he moved with his family to Ventura and began working at Rite Aid for the following 20 years.

He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Denia Gaston; son, Denny Alexander Gasdton II; and daughter, Marlo Denise Gaston. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2015, 3:00 P.M. at Ted Mayr Funeral Home, 3150 Loma Vista Road, Ventura.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Ted Mayr Funeral Home. Condolences may be sent to TedMayrFuneral Home.com.

In Memoriam

Rosa Margaret Pace 1929-2015

Celebrated Chumash Elder and Tribal Advocate

T

that Rosa Margaret Pace lived is an inspirational example of the impact one person can have on a family and community. My grandmother led an incredible life. In many families, grandparents are somewhat of an anomaly, but not in ours. I had the good fortune of living three doors down from one of the most amazing women I have ever known.

Everyone who came to know Grandma Rosa received her welcome. She was gracious not only with her family and friends; her generosity extended to all she came in contact with. Described by friends and family as a gentle and thoughtful matriarch, Rosa spent her life achieving many important triumphs for her family, friends, and Chumash tribe.

For our family, her work ethic created a very stable home environment —without the need for fancy bells and whistles. We had everything when we had nothing. The wealth of love and family shielded us from ever feeling we were without. And Grandma Rosa was always there when we needed her. If we were down or had a bad day, we could always count on her motherly charm and precious smile to make us feel better. Whether we were hungry or not, she loved to feed us —as soon as we walked through Grandma Rosa’s door, she would start cooking.

Rosa Margaret Pace was born June 27, 1929, to Juanita Grand and Timothy Ortega, and raised on the Santa Ynez Chumash Indian Reservation. Her mother gave birth to her in an old adobe, just 150 feet away from where she passed on peacefully into the heavens at age 86. It was a humble home with no electricity or running water. My grandmother and her family had to harvest and catch their food.

From a very early age, Rosa had an appreciation and love for others, and she developed this trait fully, empowering our family to love freely and unconditionally and to take care of others and ourselves. She attended grammar school at Santa Ynez College School and then high school at Sherman Indian Boarding School in Riverside, where she won the hearts of her peers and was elected homecoming queen her senior year. Rosa was awarded a Daughters of the American Revolution scholarship to the Sage Memorial School of Nursing, and she later received specialized training in obstetrics at Los Angeles Presbyterian Hospital.

For many years she was a nurse at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and Lompoc Community Hospital, and served as head nurse at Santa Ynez Hospital.

One of Rosa’s most effective achievements was the founding of our Santa Ynez Tribal Health Clinic. In 1974, Rosa opened the doors of the clinic’s then-singlewide trailer, diligently writing grants to get funding and recruiting local volunteer doctors. She went on to direct and run the health clinic until her retirement in 2000.

During this era, Rosa was appointed as a California representative to work closely with then-congressmember Robert Lagomarsino. Today, our tribal health clinic provides medical, dental, and behavioral health services to the local population and sees approximately 17,000 patient visits annually. Grandma Rosa also started the first Urban Indian Health Clinic on Milpas Street in Santa Barbara.

Ultherapy DETERMINED: From homecoming queen (inset) to Chumash elder, Rosa Pace set the bar high, working for better conditions at the Chumash reservation.

Her career as a health-care professional was only the beginning of her journey to provide for her community.

With the skills she developed in nursing and passion for her tribe, Rosa served in various elected and nonelected positions beginning in 1950. She held numerous tribal leadership roles from 1965 to 2000, which included vice-chair, secretary, treasurer, and health director.

She helped bring domestic water and a sewer system to the Reservation. She also was instrumental in bringing the reservation’s first campground, community hall, health and housing programs, and casino.

She worked alongside her husband, James Pace, also a member of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. They married in May 1955 and together had four children, nine grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. The love Rosa had for family and community set the stage for our success today.

It’s heartwarming how many people who have never met my grandmother say to me how much they appreciate what she has done.

Grandma Rosa was an incredible model for her faith and family. She really did magnificent things with her life. She was a loving sister and wife; a nurturing mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother; a devout woman of God; a leader in her community; a humanitarian; and a celebrated Chumash elder, and she was able to achieve all of this in a way that was quiet, kind, and determined.

My grandma had class and was one sharp dresser.

She loved to get dolled up to go to church, have a meal out, or head out on the town shopping. Grandma Rosa did all of this with her partner in crime by her side — her sister Bea. They were inseparable and did everything together. They were so close that they even built their homes next to each other.

I see a part of my grandmother’s values, integrity, and compassion in each and every one of my family members. She was very proud of her family. Her faith guided her through life, just as our faith will guide us.

She was able to go peacefully, knowing we have each other. We have her strength, and what she has taught us we will pass on to our children and their children’s children—generation after generation. Her legacy will continue to inspire us all. n

n decades past, certain U.S. entrepreneurs became alarmed at a growing underclass of mostly minorities who were uneducated, unproductive, often ill, jobless, or homeless. In a brilliant maneuver, the larger, productive society was convinced of a need for greater security from this underclass. Taxes were raised to house them — often in jails and prisons.

he 29th California Avocado Festival is upon us, a festival that has put Carpinteria on the map. As a guacamole maker of some little reputation, I’m particularly anxious to sample contest winners. Why not publish the recipes of the top two or three contestants and allow general tasting access? I understand the keen interest in the safety of open-air food sales, but a recipe composed of off-market avocados and garlic salt — sans tomatoes, onions, and peppers because of concerns with food temperature — is not the rallying cry out-of-town visitors are expecting. “Glop!” should never be confused with “Guac!”

rea leaders recently affirmed that Planned Parenthood is a key public health partner in our community. Planned Parenthood supports sex education in schools and provides critical services for teen pregnancy prevention. It offers a wide range of health care to primarily low-income women, including annual exams, cancer screenings, birth control, and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases. And, yes, it offers safe and legal abortions, which are not supported by federal funds.

Opponents have long attempted to control the personal reproductive decisions of women. They now threaten to shut down the government and defund Planned Parenthood. They harass women and their trusted health-care providers, release selectively edited videos, and repeat blatant falsehoods on the campaign trail. The great irony is that limiting access to Planned Parenthood will likely result in more unintended pregnancies. Meanwhile, the fetal-tissue research that opponents decry has resulted in life-saving medical treatments.

We can trust women to know when they have the family support, emotional strength, and financial means to nurture a child from infancy to adulthood.

Decisions about whether to raise a child, choose adoption, or end a pregnancy are personal moral and medical decisions best made by a woman, in consultation with her family, her doctor, and her faith.

The journey for women toward reproductive freedom has been long and hard-fought. As has often been noted, the arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice. We rely on elected leaders to ensure we do not — Susan Deacon, Vice Chair, waver on this path.

Vast expenditures for buildings, maintenance, staff, services, policing, paroling, probating were needed for the ever-expanding industry. The formerly nonproductive became highly productive — a single individual might generate expenditures of $20,000-$70,000 per annum. They produced jobs.

The end result is the U.S. has the largest number of incarcerations in the world, and demand grows for larger, newer, more effective warehousing of citizens.

Santa Barbara County is programmed to fund a state-of-the-art new North County Jail. The Board of Supervisors will decide the matter momentarily. Let’s not be duped by a failed incarceration industry, regardless of the obsolete promises of its promoters.

Beat the Heat with a Whodunit

TAKE YOUR PICK: So whatya do when

the hot hand of humid heat grips Santa Barbara, and you don’t feel like doing anything?

Not even moving.

My solution: Find the coolest spot in the house or someplace shady and breezy outside and open a whodunit.

With luck, my mind is so engrossed with the dead-o and who killed him or her that I tend to forget the dead air. If that doesn’t work, I toss the book aside and rummage around for another with hotter action and more of a mind-twister.

So who to pick?

First, let’s go local. I recall running into Kenneth Millar (Ross Macdonald) and his author-wife, Margaret Millar, prowling the courthouse’s echoing corridors, sniffing out plots or maybe just atmosphere.

Once, after Ken’s keen mind was captured by Alzheimer’s and he died in 1983, I asked Margaret what was the biggest murder case she’d ever seen. Her answer came quickly: “the murder of the English language.”

More local names pop up: Sue Grafton, of course, of alphabet crime books (X currently new in the bookstores). The late Dennis Lynds wrote under eight names, most famously as Michael Collins, whose protagonist was one-armed Dan Fortune.

LEADER OF THE PACK: Ross Macdonald, aka Kenneth Millar, took the hard-boiled detective genre beyond the standard twists and turns.

Dennis won a Purple Heart as a World War II infantryman. His wife, Gayle Lynds, writes best-seller spy thrillers (The Assassins).

I met Julie Smith when she worked briefly on the News-Press copy desk amid turning out a series of mysteries set in New Orleans (where she now lives), including New Orleans Mourning and Crescent City Kill.

When I’m hooked on an author, I reread — after a decent lapse of time. That’s the case with Alan Furst, for me the best of the current crop of novels set in pre-World War II Europe (Dark Star, Red Gold). His books are gritty (no James Bond nonsense) and stylishly written — always a love affair and usually doomed. Pre-war is hell, eh?

Louise Penny is one of the hottest current mystery writers, probing the murderous goings-on in a small Canadian village, testing the smarts of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. The Nature of the Beast is her latest.

Donna Leon is an American who lives in Venice and has a long list of crime novels to her credit (Suffer the Little Children). She usually digs into a corrupt Italian society, and perhaps that’s why, although her books are published in many languages, she allows no Italian translations. Fewer street confrontations, perhaps? This is not the romantic, tourist-based fiction that fills the bookstores.

Her tough exposés are mixed with life in the household of Commissario Guido Brunetti; his sharp-tongued, loving teacher-wife, Paola; and their children.

Scandinavian crime novels are the rage, and I’ve become fixed on the dark, introspective world of Swedish police detective Kurt Wallander (The Pyramid). Henning Mankell’s creation was also the troubled star of the TV series Wallander. You might wish for him to

have a happier love life, but in Scandinavian literature, it doesn’t always seem to work out that way.

In Devil in a Blue Dress, Walter Mosley follows the troubled path of a decent man, Easy Rawlins, a black World War II vet fired from his defense plant job. He’s broke and wondering how he’ll pay the bills. It’s L.A., 1948, and he’s drinking in a friend’s bar when a white man in a linen suit walks in, offering good money. All Easy has to do is find a blonde beauty who hangs out in black jazz clubs. Trouble awaits?

Since that 1990 debut, Mosley has turned out a series of some of the best hard-knock crime novels I know of.

A rabbi, a monk, a nun, and an Episcopal priest are invited to a mystery writers’ conference. They hate the featured speaker, a sleazy evangelist, and when he’s found dead, all four become prime suspects. The late William X. Kienzle, himself a former Catholic priest, tells the story in Masquerade, featuring, as usual, Father Koesler.

Last but not least, as the cliché goes, we can’t forget Agatha Christie, “the most popular writer of detective fiction who ever lived,” according to The Black Lizard Big Book of Locked-Room Mysteries.

Read her masterpiece And Then There Were None, and forget the heat.

The SanTa BarBara IndependenT’s sixth AnnuAl Ode tO OuR edible CultuRe

T

hough we love the outdoors, Santa Barbarans are quick to sacrifice sunshine time to head inside for a great bite of food. And we’ve never enjoyed more ways to fill our bellies than today, with options ranging from inventively creative to inspiringly authentic.

In 2010, The Santa Barbara Independent started celebrating this bounty of cuisine by launching the Foodie Awards, which shine a light every fall on the people and places cultivating this culture. This week’s issue also kicks off the month-long ode to Santa Barbara’s dining and drinking scene known as Epicure.SB. See epicuresb.com for a full list of events.

This year, for our sixth annual Foodie Awards, we celebrate the usually varied slate of establishments, including “The Izzy” Lifetime Achievement Award, named after Isidoro Gonzalez of La Super-Rica fame and this year going to Paradise Café. But to satisfy your intellectual hunger, as well, we’re also diving a bit deeper into one particular chef’s story and also focusing on a company that’s connecting restaurants to the regionally grown produce that diners crave.

All of the awards will be presented at the Wine Cask on Monday, October 5, at 5:30 p.m., so please join us for the brief ceremony.

DOUBLE TROUBLE: Justin and Emma West, who together run the popular Restaurant Julienne on East Canon Perdido Street, are upping the ante by showcasing West Coast barbecue at the soon-tobe-opened Wildwood Kitchen in The Mill on East Haley Street.

A Cook’s Cook

So what happens to a kid that grows up steeped in every aspect of food preparation? He becomes a cook’s cook.

Certainly his fellow chefs think so.“Julienne is all about the ingredients, not the image,” said voluble master chef Charlie Fredericks, formerly of bouchon, now the head of the SBCC School of Culinary Arts. “He’s doing what people say they’re doing.”

West’s dad owned five restaurants in Eugene, Oregon, none under 80 seats. At one time or another, Justin West has been a prep chef, cook, bartender, dishwasher, assistant GM, and beverage director. He met his wife, Emma West, while attending the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. She is Julienne’s wine buyer, bookkeeper, general manager, HR

e’s quiet until he starts talking, but spend a few moments with cherub-faced Justin West — chef and co-owner of the highly acclaimed Julienne on Canon Perdido and soon-to-open Wildwood Kitchen at The Mill on Haley Street — and you know right away this guy was born to be a chef. Restaurants are in his blood.

After all, he was hanging out in restaurants before he knew what a restaurant was. The son of a chef specializing in barbecue, West spent his early years riding skateboards through their dining rooms and cracking wise with line cooks in the kitchen. His first primal fears include being trapped in the walk-in freezer or sucked into industrial bread mixers. Maurice Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen was his waking dream.

He’d already been picking beans and peeling potatoes in the prep line for years when, at the age of 13, he became the “smoker boy.” The dirtiest job in the restaurant, it meant crawling inside his father’s industrial smoker, which cooked 500 pounds of meat per day, to remove all the grease and rendered fat. Eventually he figured out how to renegotiate his $5-anhour fee for a better deal with his formidable, workaholic dad.

His father, Mike West, wasn’t easy to get along with. They were very close but very professional. “He was an everything ’coholic,” West recalled of his dad, who worked in the restaurant seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. “Knowing him at all was to be working with him. Work ethic was what got his respect.” His father designed what’s become Julienne’s logo, a circular nexus of cooking tools. When his dad died four years ago at just 51, West tattooed that logo on the inside of his right arm.

director, and concept developer. Said West, “Nothing would be possible without her.”

Together, they’ve made the rounds in the Santa Barbara scene: Wine Cask, Hungry Cat, Bacara Resort & Spa, San Ysidro Ranch. West even did a short stint at the famed Gigetto restaurant near Venice, Italy.

Today, with comfy booths and dark wood tables, art-lined Julienne is a paradigm of intelligent design and streamlined charm, the jewel of the Presidio Neighborhood. Like many restaurants in town, the menu is seasonally driven and farmers’ market derived, but without extraneous ingredients, nothing more than the dish demands. Every taste is distinct yet harmonizes with the others.

EvErything but thE squEAl

Despite claims otherwise, few restaurants can legitimately say they ascribe to the “tailto-snout philosophy” practiced at Julienne, where the crew modifies cuts and cooking techniques to utilize lesser-known parts of an animal.

“If the whole animal has to die, why not use the whole animal?” asks West, who recently fed 60 people off of a whole lamb. “If we were selling only lamb shanks, many, many more lambs would have had to be slaughtered to feed those people. And what happens to the rest of the animal? It’s a more sustainable way to cook.” Everything but the squeal, as some cooks say.

“He’s an American progressive, always looking at what’s new and cutting-edge from a farm-to-table perspective,” said Corazon Cocina’s Ramon Velazquez, another celebrated chef, who plans to open a new restaurant soon in Montecito.“He takes risks. He makes the food that is delicious for the soul.”

Recently, I sampled a strangely addictive roasted eggplant and burrata with an unexpected squirt of mint pesto. Also a revelation was the grilled street corn tossed with jalapeño, queso fresco, and Tapatío, altogether earthy and unpredictable. Then there’s the sneakily sophisticated joys of oxtail soup with bok choy, green beans, and whey-based dashi or pork belly served on kimchi coleslaw. Even the burger ground in-house and dressed with horseradish mustard is satisfying yet surprising.

Another delight of eating at Julienne is that you can see West and his team at work, especially if you sit at the bar. Chef de Cuisine Mia Dittman and line cooks P.A. Tremblay, Jesse Shaw, Ethan Aoki-Walsh, and Jonathan Haikkala appear in motion, as if choreographed, preparing each meal in the small, open kitchen, poised and ready to cook for anybody who walks in the door. It’s the way his dad did it, and West’s never liked working in those restaurants where he didn’t see a single face of the people eating his food.

“Justin is the most enthusiastic of the young chefs that I sell to,” said fifth-generation farmer Tom Shepherd.“Julienne has that feel; the team has real enthusiasm. He’s competitive in a good way.”

bring on thE smokE

Justin West is only beginning to make his mark on California’s culinary landscape. This fall inside The Mill, a new food-and-drink hot spot under construction at 412 East Haley Street, West will open Wildwood Kitchen. Offering Southern-style American barbecue with a Santa Barbara ranch influence, Wildwood is not just a bold risk—it’s a homecoming.

Let’s be clear about what kind of barbecue we’re talking about. This is the culinary tradition of cooking meat low and slow over indirect flame that has traveled across the Barbecue Belt from Virginia through Texas. The true definition of barbecue, there’s something about the smell of oak smoke that draws us in, welding us to the dreams of summer and the gospel of comfort food that utterly fits with West’s whole-hog philosophy.

And he’s got a lot of history behind his ’cue. Before opening their West Bros. BBQ in Eugene, West’s dad and uncles spent weeks driving in a ’65 Mustang convertible through Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas, learning about barbecue.“There’s been a melting of all those styles together,” said Justin,“and now it’s mine.”

A recent tasting trip to Texas reaffirmed how authentic and good his flavors were.

“Mine’s a truly West Coast barbecue,” declared West. “Why can’t West Coast barbecue be a contender?”

So he’s merging Julienne’s snout-to-tail impulse with the traditional barbecue discipline, cooking mouthwatering, crunchy, smoky, addictively delicious meats in a massive 250pound Southern Pride smoker. Seafood and sides will not be an afterthought. With shrimp and grits, chicken fried trout, jambalaya, braised market greens, honey poppy seed slaw, and basil mashed potatoes, everyone will find something to feast on. There’ll be to-go family packages and weekend specials for slap-up dinners at home that you can grill yourself. It’s all something his father would have been amazed to see.

“It’s going to be a lot from the West Bros., a lot from the farmers’ market, and a lot from my dad,” West explained.

And the smoker? Who’s going to clean that?

“I’m sure, in the beginning,”West admitted,“I will be the one cleaning it … for nostalgia.”

Hilarious Musical Improvisation for Kids

Putting the “To” in Farm-to-Table Award hARvest sAntA bARbARA (696-6930; harvestsantabarbara.com)

by Matt Kettmann

I

t’s quite easy these days to preach the almost mandatory restaurant mantra of “locally grown farm-to-table,” but actually making that happen in a steady fashion is a whole lot harder. Even if chefs know their neighborhood farmers as friends, the logistics of getting fresh produce into kitchens on a daily basis is costly and time-consuming. Try scaling that philosophy up to grocery stores and institutions such as UCSB, and the entire concept becomes nearly impossible to pull off.

Harvest Santa Barbara is working farm by farm, restaurant by restaurant, and campus by campus to change that. Started by Jasper and Brook Eiler in June 2012 on the roots of the Farmer Direct Produce Network — which started distributing Santa Barbara Farmers Market produce in 2005 — Harvest Santa Barbara is connecting more than 30 different farmers from Ojai to Santa Maria with more than 100 different establishments and institutions from the Santa Ynez Valley to Los Angeles with farm-to-kitchen deliveries six days a week. That includes 25 percent of UCSB’s produce needs to feed 8,500 people daily, as well as servicing school districts from Goleta to the Conejo Valley, companies like Patagonia and LinkedIn, about 10 grocery stores, and restaurants from Industrial Eats to Scarlett Begonia.

“I realized distribution was the missing link in our food system,” said Jasper, who grew up exploring his grandparents’ S.B. orchards, worked at Fairview Gardens from 2000 to 2003, got a graduate degree in food systems from UC Davis, and taught at Berkeley before getting back into farming with the legendary Tom Shepherd in 2009.“Without it, there is a whole range of companies that would not otherwise buy local fruit and vegetables.”

He and Brook built a dream team of ag-savvy employees, including produce buyer Shawn McMahon (formerly the Isla Vista Co-op produce manager and also a Fairview alum) and sales manager Micah Elconin, a UCSB alum and U of Oregon MBA who’s spent a decade in food system education and development. “This job is really exciting because I get to take it to another level and really help the people who are helping our community,”

said McMahon. “We’re buying and selling what I think is the best stuff ever.” Added Elconin,“People come to us when they really want to know what the product is, where it came from, and that it is of superior quality.”

Business is brisk, almost doubling each year, so a big part of the job is helping farmers identify which fruits and vegetables are needed when.

“The prices to us change every day,” said McMahon, who must provide a consistent supply while also taking risks on new farmers to continue growing a regional agricultural base that’s diverse and sustainable.

“There’s a decent amount of room to grow, so we’re looking to make more in-depth relationships with growers to meet that demand.”

Most of the produce comes from Santa Barbara County with some from Ventura County and occasional stone fruit from Fresno, and the company’s three trucks are strategically picking it up from farmers and dropping it off at clients along the same routes. “We have the least food miles traveled out of anyone,” said Brook.“Those avocados are not going for a long ride first.”

And, yes, supporting your neighborhood farmers does cost more. But if we’re lucky enough to be in a region where we can truly support farmto-table over industrial-sized agribusiness, then we’d better be ready to pay for it, too. Said Elconin, “The customers requesting local will drive the growth of our business long-term.”

That neon sneaked through ever-persnickety City Hall decades ago because, as Paradise owner Randy Rowse explains, one councilmember remembered how “dark and ominous” Santa Barbara seemed during the blackouts of World War II.“It was reassuring to him when the red and green lights flickered back to life,” said Rowse, himself a councilmember today. “It made it seem like everything was going to be all right.”

Those lights have burned bright for 32 years since its days as La Paloma, and now Paradise offers the hidden hipness of being off State Street, as well as perhaps the best burger around. “Our customers have been loyal friends over the years, and we do not take that for granted,” says Rowse, who also prides his establishment on promoting Santa Barbara wine country since its earliest days. “We feel honored and very lucky to still be going after all of these years, through all of the changes and all of the new places that have opened. Big-time thanks are due to all the people who have kept us going.”

eemingly fully formed the day it opened, Barbareño took what’s become almost trite—locally sourced, farm-to-table — and revived the concept. “To keep pushing our own creativity, we limit ourselves,” explains GM Jesse Gaddy, who started the restaurant with Head Chef Julian Martinez. “Staying true to our concept of exploring what is historically and culturally relevant to Santa Barbara and the Central Coast, we delve into ingredients and dishes that we hope can tell part of the story of the region we live in.”

Cue their eggamuffins, Santa Maria tri-tip, quail à la

Spanish, and so forth. By working closely with growers, Gaddy continues, “We are constantly learning from others about what makes our region special and discovering the living stories of the incredible people who make this culinary culture possible.” Believing that notions like farm-to-table are “thrown about in a lackluster manner nowadays,” Gaddy and crew choose “to focus on stories to create food that is inspired rather than contrived.”Add attentive, knowledgeable service, and it’s no wonder Gaddy and Martinez have a huge hit on their hands.

T

he boutique-chic Kimpton Hotel chain gambled big in refurbishing a rundown motel along Goleta’s strip mall row. But as the immediate then steady rush of crowds confirmed upon opening in September 2014, they played their cards right by including the Outpost — a stylish-casual indooroutdoor restaurant run by Chef Derek Simcik — and Goodbar, a smart cocktail lounge run by lead bartender Chris Burmeister.

“It’s just been nonstop from day one,” says Simcik, who estimates Santa Bartender Mitchell Lee Barbara County residents make up about 90 percent of the business.“This area wanted some place that’s cool to hang out and not pretentious, where you can chill and, before you know it, you’ve had a couple cocktails, a couple bites, a great conversation on the patio, and three hours have gone by.” Such bites may include the popular tacos and bao buns on the “1-2-3” section of the menu, as well as small plates like the crispy artichoke and brussels. “We have a relaxed kind of feeling with a quality product and great service,” says Simcik.“It’s the individuality of the experience.” — MK

paul wellman photos

estaurant work can be a grind, but when you find a place that embraces you, where people really know your name, it can be a whole lot like family, too. That’s the case for two longtime employees of the iconic Harry’s Plaza Café in Loreto Plaza: Ruben Rosas, who’s been a busboy for 43 years, and Renee Donati, who’s waited tables for 35.

When he came from Guanajuato, Mexico, Rosas first worked on a farm near Patterson Avenue but started at Harry’s in 1972, working for Harry himself, whom he called “a good boss.” Everything is pretty much the same today, said the father of three and grandfather of seven, explaining, “I like it here. The people, they know me.”

Donati, meanwhile, came to Santa Barbara from Chicago with her three kids and was lucky to get a job at Harry’s in 1980. “It was hard to get because nobody wanted to quit — that was the place everyone wanted to work at,” recalled Donati, who arrived one morning when one employee happened to be leaving town. “That’s how I got the job.” Today, her regulars have standing reservations at Donati’s tables from Tuesday to Saturday —“every day that I work,” she said proudly.“I love my customers. They are more like family to me, and that’s why I’ve stayed,” she said.“They’re loyal. They’re really good people.”

fter a dismal stretch both half-baked and overdone, the patio at State and Anapamu is again alive with chatter and chowing down thanks to Benchmark, brought to you by the Bennett family’s benevolent empire of eats, which includes Brophy Bros. and On the Alley. “We would like the patio to be a clear representation of Santa Barbara: casual, simple, and fun,” says John Bennett. “Our family is grateful to have had the opportunity to bring this genuinely local operation to the theater district. Every restaurant launch has its challenges, and we are pleased that we have ironed out the wrinkles and found our footing.” That footing features the scrumptious fried garbanzos instead of table bread, designer cocktails at cornerbar prices, and a menu that runs from pozole to pan-roasted salmon. And the perfect urban patio.

inDustRial eats (181 Industrial Wy., Buellton; 688-8807; industrialeats.com) Upon opening in December 2013, Industrial Eats in Buellton became the hottest meal ticket in Santa Barbara wine country, its wood-fire-loving clientele a who’s who of vintners and their adoring fans. Owners Jeff and Janet Olsson, who were already beloved for their New West Catering Company, attribute this to offering “generous portions of very straightforward, honest food cooked in a wood-burning oven—the most primal way possible — at reasonable prices.” They do so by cutting out the fancy linens, glassware, menus, and even traditional table service, as visitors order from the cashier off of hanging butcher-paper sheets (“Pizza” and “Not Pizza” are the categories) and then sit down. “It confuses some people,” admits Jeff,“but we tried to cut out what I felt was unnecessary so we could get the best quality product at the lowest price.” The same goes for their affordable on-tap wine list.“The $18 glass of wine was beginning to bother me,” he laughs.

Chef Greg Arnold

mesaveRDe (1919 Cliff Dr.; 963-4474; mesaverderestaurant.com) Forget soy masquerading as meat, and welcome Mesaverde and modern plant-based cuisine. “After the first year, we are just super excited to have made such strong and amazing connections with all the local farmers,” says Chef Greg Arnold.“We can’t wait to see what they have for us this year. The menu is basically written around what becomes available seasonally at the market. The farmers are my muses!” Arnold is also influenced by bands such as Can and painters such as Anselm Kiefer, which explains the dash and drama of his exciting plates, adorned with slashes of shishito puree or salvitxada. “It maybe took a minute for people to become familiar with some of the Middle Eastern and North African influences,”Arnold admits, “but I think that was mostly just vocabulary—food is food, around the world!” It’s not always this tasty, though.

Wanna Get Away?

(without leaving town?)

Evolutions Day Spa offers an escape from life’s everyday stress. A 60 or 90 minute massage, facial, body scrub or wrap can be an amazing “mini stay-cation.” Come in with a friend or loved one, relax together, and you both will receive discounts on your treatments (call for more info). What are you waiting for? You deserve a little break!

Evolutions’ Mini Stay-cation Idea #3: Signature Salt Stone Glow Rinse your cares away with Evolutions’ signature body treatment! It starts with a hot stone massage on your back, legs, and feet and continues with a full body exfoliation under the warm, rain-like flow from the Vichy shower.

If you have never had a treatment with the Vichy shower, you need to! It is a unique spa experience that consists of a “rainbar” located over the treatment table plus a hand wand controlled by your therapist. The hydrotherapy of the soothing, warm water adds another level or relaxation to your treatment. During a Salt Stone Glow your tension will melt away and your skin will be left feeling totally refreshed and new. Before or after your treatment spend a little time detoxifying in our dry sauna too! (complimentary with your treatment)

Children Sign MOXI’s Beam Text and photo by Caitlin Fitch

This past Friday and Saturday, more than 150 Santa Barbarans came out to sign a beam that will be displayed in MOXI: The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, which is the children’s museum being built at 125 State Street and scheduled to open in late 2016. “I’m excited to give an opportunity to kids who wouldn’t otherwise be able to see the inside of a museum like this unless we bring it to them,” said Nancy Sheldon, who, along with daughters Kate (left) and Eve (center), added their signatures to the beam that will rest atop the second floor staircase once the museum’s construction is complete. Sheldon, who’s served on MOXI’s board as campaign cochair for eight years, is just one of many people who have worked for decades to bring a world-class children’s museum to town. “This is such a neat moment for a lot of folks who have been working on this for 25 years to be acknowledged,” said MOXI CEO Steve Hinkley, who came from Dallas, Texas, to lead the team this past March.

Meet FACE Africa’s

Saran Kaba Jones

S

aran Kaba Jones, who founded FACE Africa to improve water access and sanitation for communities across sub-Saharan Africa, is coming to Santa Barbara on October 6 to discuss such issues in her home country of Liberia. She’ll be speaking to the Global Neighborhood Fund, a Santa Barbara‒based organization that’s donated about $35,000 to FACE Africa since 2011.

Jones founded her organization in 2008 after a visit to Liberia revealed a country destroyed by civil war, shaky infrastructure, and displaced communities. She initially focused on education — FACE stands for Fund a Child’s Education — but quickly realized access to clean water and the time it took to find it WATER WORKS: Saran Kaba Jones (below was more problematic. with camera) is improving access to Today, FACE Africa water in her native Liberia. aims to provide 100 percent water coverage for each community it targets, with the current focus on providing 250 water-access points for the 60,000 residents of Liberia’s Rivercess County.

In the United States, Jones — who’s also presented at Harvard and the Department of State — is hoping to raise awareness on this and other global issues within the younger generation. She recently started a college ambassador club that is finding students to act as educators and promoters to raise awareness for the issues plaguing Liberia.

“Our hope is that we can eventually invite these college ambassadors to come to Liberia, spend some time there, and really see firsthand, one, the issues on the ground and, two, the impact that FACE Africa is having,” Jones said. The program is currently working with 12 colleges in the Boston area, and Jones is hoping these programs will launch in November around Thanksgiving. “By next year,” Jones hopes, “we will have targeted about 50 college campuses around the country.” She finds social media as the “best way to reach out to the young generation.”

Stylish Salon Adventure

I

in Sichuan

was recently invited as a guest artist to teach and style hair in Chengdu with a Beijing salon group named Hair Code that runs more than 70 salons across China.

The offer was extended through Weiheng DU, who came to live with my family in Santa Barbara as an exchange student at Santa Barbara City College. “Duke,” as he now prefers to be called, ended up living with us for three years and became like a son to me. Most of the young Chinese that I encountered also preferred English names like Walter Claudio Zungri Snow, Shine, and Sky that they had picked up from English-speaking rock bands and movies. The names were all a bit funny and cute when not too naïve.

Duke returned to his hometown of Chengdu more than a year ago and insisted that I visit.

He found several salons CUTS ABROAD: The renowgroups that were interned stylist reports from ested in my work, and after China. some research, we chose Hair Code as the best mutual fit.

I don’t speak Mandarin, and the thought of doing hair on clients without speaking Chinese was both exciting and frightening. Due to the creative nature of styling hair, I knew having a nuanced interpreter was to be part of my success. I carefully selected an outgoing interpreter named Nora, who had lived in Mexico for a year and had an artistic outlook on life. I thought she would be able to translate my humor, if nothing else.

The location of this particular salon was in an outdoor lifestyle mall, which reminded me of The Grove in West Los Angeles, with cool space, great lighting, and a minimalist look and feel. Chengdu is full of skyscrapers, but this mall was unique in that it surrounded a one-story Buddhist monastery with interesting rooflines. The mall was built around the temples with the same architectural themes in mind and had outdoor cafés, with some offering trendy California cuisine.

Following a short conversation with one of the Hair Code partners, I was promptly asked to do a client’s corrective blonde-on-blonde color. The staff surrounded me, obsessively taking photos and videos of my every move. I believe they found my cutting style unusual because theirs is mostly robotic and mine is rooted more in a feeling and connection I get from the client consultation. Although they are technically very strong, I do not think they have yet developed their eye for unorthodox shapes.

The rush of attention I received in the salon prepped me for my next challenge: an impromptu appearance on a soap opera being shot on the floor below! My scene involved a couple fighting while I styled a client’s hair in the background. From the looks of it, I can only assume that they were the two stars of the oddly translating Tale of the Taming of the Husband.

That evening I was invited to dinner with Hair Code’s senior team. We had an amazing traditional Sichuan meal, and I enjoyed all the choices, except for the chicken feet, which I did not find appealing either in thought or texture.

My visit lasted another two weeks, and every day was an adventure, for events in China happen quickly and sometimes without warning. I hope to return with a more formal education program and bring some of their staff to Santa Barbara for a tailored curriculum. — Walter Claudio Zungri

Braving Icy Bay in

T

he calving glaciers and congested ice sounded like cannon fire and gunshot blasts bellowing across Icy Bay in WrangellSt. Elias National Park of southeast Alaska. A friend and I were well within earshot, tents pitched behind the first row of spruce, willow, and alder trees, and nestled in a patch of fragrant Nootka lupine that offered a reprieve from piercing winds whipping across the iceberg-choked bay.

Wolf Wigo Lives Water Polo

UCSB Men’s Coach Competing at High Level, Attracting Lower-Income Interest in Sport

W

paul wellman photos

by John Zant olf Wigo, a three-time Olympic water

polo player, continues to strive at an intensely competitive level in his 11th year as coach of the UCSB men’s team.

The Gauchos take on powerful teams every week in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. The MPSF boasts the top nine teams in the national rankings, including the Gauchos, who are No. 6 with a 9-2 record.

They take a five-game winning streak into their home match at noon on Saturday, October 3, against the No. 4–ranked California Bears.

Three days a week, in the early evening, Wigo takes a break from training muscular college men. He spends time in the pool with children who never would have dreamed of playing water polo a year ago, because most of them did not even know how to swim. In starting up the introductory swimming and water polo program for low-income youths, Wigo said he wanted to combat the perception that water polo is “a rich white people’s sport.”

NCAA ASPIRATIONS: “We aim to be the best,” said Chris Whitelegge,

UCSB’s senior goalkeeper. Water polo is a sport in which UCSB can realistically compete for national titles. The Gauchos went all the way in 1979, winning the first of UCSB’s two NCAA Division 1 team championships (the other being men’s soccer in 2006). It’s a big challenge because the foursome of UCLA, USC, Cal, and Stanford are always loaded. The Gauchos had a strong lineup last year, but their hopes were dimmed when three players went out with concussions.

Whitelegge, a three-year starter, is one of the mainstays of this year’s team. In an 11-9 win at Pepperdine last week, he blocked 15 shots. He does not have a big reach at 6´1˝, but Wigo said, “Chris has a magnet in his head. He has a knack for following the ball.” The goalie had 13 more saves Sunday when UCSB defeated Navy, 13-7, and Loyola Marymount, 8-5.

The Gauchos also have two of the best players to come out of hometown high schools: senior Derek Shoemaker (Dos Pueblos) and sophomore Shane Hauschild (San Marcos).

They are part of a balanced scoring attack that makes it hard for opponents to scout.

“We have talent,” Hauschild said. “We’re not way below teams like USC, Cal, and Stanford.”Whitelegge added,“We’re good friends. We’re super tight.” Last week, the day before the start of classes, they finished a month’s worth of daylong training. The schedule: 6-10 a.m. in the pool; 10-11 a.m. in the weight room; and 2-5 p.m. in the pool.“You get a little loony after a while,” Whitelegge said,“but after I graduate, I’ll miss grinding it out with these guys.”

SCISSOR KICKS: UCSB water polo players (from left) Derek Shoemaker, Shane Hauschild, and Chris Whitelegge are thriving under coach Wolf Wigo (at left). Wigo is also serving as an ambassador for the sport to kids like Daniela Vargas (far left) and Wendy Figueroa, who wouldn’t otherwise be so comfortable in the pool.

Cal has been a nemesis of the Gauchos, handing them both their losses this season by 12-5 scores in tournaments at San Diego and Palo Alto. The Gauchos are counting on UCSB’s ancient Campus Pool to make the Bears less than comfortable Saturday. “We were hoping for a new pool by now, but things happen,” said Shoemaker, a fifth-year senior.

In the meantime, there’s a unique atmosphere at UCSB’s home games. “The bleachers are packed with fans,” Hauschild said. “People are right on the water screaming and yelling. If I was another team, I’d hate playing here.”

FUN AND REWARDING TIME: Wigo expanded the youth program of the Santa Barbara Premier Water Polo Club

to include novice swimmers from low-income families last spring. “If you qualify for a reduced or free lunch at school, you play for free,” Wigo said. “It can open up a new world to kids who normally don’t have a chance to get involved in aquatics. We want them to have fun. We want them to play other sports, too. I’m confident they’ll love water polo.”

The response has been so great that the club’s coaching staff had all the newcomers they could handle and had to turn people away.

Sam Mladjov, a Gaucho women’s team member, said it’s rewarding to work with the youngsters.

“They don’t have it easy,” 10/2: High School Football: Carpinteria at Dos Pueblos Carpinteria’s Warriors meet their Goleta countershe said. “Sometimes, it’s parts on the gridiron for the third time. Dos Pueblos won their previous encounters in 2000 and 2001. Friday’s kind of sad if they don’t game does not figure to be one-sided. The Warriors (0-4) are seeking their first win.

Game of the Week

got started in the program. “I was afraid of the deep water,” she said. “I felt like I was going to go down instead of up.

When I learned to swim across the pool, my parents were proud of me. I learned the eggbeater [a kick water-polo players use to elevate out of the water]. I started passing and shooting.”

Luis Vargas, one of the parents, said it is a relief that he can take his children to the beach and not worry about them playing in the water.

Wigo, who has three children of his own, said the effort can only help his favorite sport. “Brenda Villa got started in a community program,” he said. Villa started playing in the city of Commerce and became an outstanding national team player. She was named Female Water Polo Player of the Decade for 2000-2009 by the FINA Aquatics World Magazine.

YOUNG SKIPPERS: The Santa Barbara Sea Shell Association (SBSSA) has just completed its 67th year of teaching

children to sail their own boats around the harbor. Boys and girls ages 8-15 have benefited from the April-September program. To help keep it going, the SBSSA holds an annual fundraiser, a wine tasting, and yacht tour that will take place Saturday, October 3. For information, visit sbssa.org.

OLD SKIPPER: The 11th time proved the charm for John Demourkas of Santa Barbara, who sailed Groovederci to

the 2015 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship over an international fleet of 16 other boats. Demourkas finished second in the final race at Long Beach to win by one point over defending champion Alex Roepers on Plenty. It was the first podium finish for Demourkas, the second-longest member n of the Farr 40 design class.

avocado tRuffles @ carp avo fest It took three years for French chocolatier JeanMichel Carré to develop his top secret for transforming avocados into a rich, seasonal chocolate treat.

Carré is the world-renowned chocolatier and owner of Chocolats du CaliBressan, with locations in both Santa Barbara and Carpinteria. This avocado truffle is available in celebration of the 29th Annual California Avocado Festival, and for a limited time only.

Carré’s recipe blends avo flesh into a creamy white chocolate ganache that gets covered in a layer of rich dark chocolate. Having never before tried an

taly is home to more than 1,000 grape varieties, and a handful of the lesser-known have found a happy home in Santa Barbara County. These off-the-beaten-path varieties, most of which are native to Northern Italy, are hard enough to find outside of their native region, so the opportunity to taste homegrown versions should prove irresistible to wine geeks.

Freisa, for example, is indigenous to Piedmont and has suffered a tarnished reputation ever since Robert Parker described it as “totally repugnant.” While there’s no way around the grape’s rusticity, it can also produce delicate and expressive wines that pair well with food. Lucas & Lewellen grows the grape in their Los Alamos Vineyard and bottles it under the Toccata brand.

Palmina’s Steve Clifton, meanwhile, works with a number of Italian varieties, as does Mosby Winery’s Bill Mosby, who produces teroldego (native to Alto Adige in northeastern Italy) and sagrantino, long used to make sacramental wines that St. Francis of Assisi enjoyed. Foxen Canyon’s Tres Hermanas Winery grows refosco from Friuli, unlike anything you’ll taste around here, and the Joughin Vineyard in Los Olivos produces a lagrein that Santa Barbara Winery’s Bruce McGuire turns into a rich, gulpable red.

So while everyone else is chasing pinot noir and chardonnay, tap into these bottles for a rewardingly unique sipping experience.

avocado truffle himself, Carré said the tricky part was finding the balance between the two very rich ingredients of chocolate and avocado.

The confection is now one of the festival’s hits, alongside Island Brewing’s Avocado Honey Ale, avocado ice cream, and, of course, guacamole.

“People love them,” said Carré. “People are always surprised and ask me to make them all year round, but I want to keep it a specialty for the festival.”

Carré started making these truffles in 2012 and plans to make 3,000 for this weekend. They sell at $1.80 apiece and will also be available in a variety of assortment boxes.

fter taking over several Albertsons and Vons supermarkets earlier this year, Haggen filed for bankruptcy last month and plans to close all locations in California, Nevada, and Arizona. The company based in Bellingham, Washington, announced last week that it would close at least 100 locations across the southwest, with 67 in California. That follows the August closure of 27 outlets, including 16 in the Golden State. Haggen will keep open 37 stores in Oregon and Washington, which is its home base.

“Although this has been a difficult process and experience, we will remain concentrated in the Pacific Northwest where we began,” said Haggen’s John Clougher. The grocer will liquidate merchandise and furnishings and warned that it was unlikely a new company would buy the stores “as a going concern.” But analysts predict most locations will remain supermarkets, given the stores’ sizes and equipment inside. Planned South Coast closures include 3943 State Street, 2010 Cliff Drive, 163 South Turnpike Road, 175 North Fairview Avenue, and 850 Linden Avenue.

It’s called 5¼ (Five and a Quarter), and it’s open Thursday to Saturday 5:15 p.m. to 10ish. They only serve Old World wines—nothing in S.B. like it, no joke —really great, rare stuff from Greece, Lebanon, Italy. They also serve small plates: a popcorn of the week (last week was Ethiopian spiced), warm cashews with rosemary, a savory chickpea pancake with mushrooms, onions, and avocado, and a couple more I can’t remember. They have a red and a white house wine for $5.25, by far the cheapest in town.

The ultra cool part is that they share space with Pacific Crepes! I’m hoping this unique place really takes off!”

SOJOURNER CLOSES: After 37 years in business,

the Sojourner Café at 134 East Canon Perdido Street has closed. “I would like to thank all those who have been a part of keeping the vision of the Sojourner going for all these years, including, but not limited to, customers, staff, and friends,” said owner Donna Mudge.

Morgan Cotes du Crow’s Syrah/Grenache Monterey 2014: This 53 percent grenache and 47 percent syrah blend is from vineyards in central and south Monterey, where it does get hot enough to grow fine Rhône grapes. Morgan’s owner, Dan Lee, who is a pioneer of Monterey’s pinotpumping Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, has been on the board of the Rhone Rangers for a dozen years, so he knows his way around this delicious fruit.

Full of blackberry and raspberry notes and a lovely wild edge of spice and earth, this is a great bottle for its price, which is suggested at $18 but often found on shelves for cheaper. It pairs particularly well with a bit of char from the grill — not just meats but hearty veggies like roasted eggplant rolled around goat cheese, too.

As for the punning name, they wanted to call it Crows Hermitage, but the feds nixed that idea. Cote du Crow’s it is!

Real J.O.B. ExposurE

Classic rocker? Bizarro busker? Auteur extraordinaire? Just who the Real J.O.B. is has been a beguiling question since the enigmatic UCSB-based musician debuted on YouTube some years ago. His newest record, 2014’s Exposure, exposes the ever-revealing man as one of a kind. In fact, It’s completely insane, and I mean that in a good way. Songs like “Downtown” and “I Wanna Rock ’N Roll” are imbued with a wild rock spirit, while “Home” and “YLM” feature inventive twists colored in an Ariel Pink hue. What the entirely self-made singer/producer may lack in technical proficiency he makes up for with unbridled passion, a singular vision, and songwriting of rare originality. Flying to the sun, he ends up on another planet altogether, and it is a fantastic view.

DEssErts Ep

In the business together for just four years, Sebastian Furrer and Alexander Björklund, the duo known as Cazzette, prove to be more notable in their new EP, Desserts, than other EDM deejays that have been around for years. Drifting toward more house-dominant feels, Cazzette plays around with various progressions and musical phases. Track “Solo Para Ti” particularly shows the difference between last year’s work and the pair’s new direction, while “Dancing with Your Ghost,” featuring singer/songwriter/producer Sterling Fox, displays their fully reinvented sounds. Other noteworthy tracks include “Together” and “Genius.” As it should be, Desserts is filled with savory and sweet songs.

Pa n PaTTO OSwalT wal walT

It’s an unusual altar at which to worship — the darkened, run-down movie house. But that’s where comedian Patton Oswalt takes communion and offers up reverence, with the New Beverly serving as the Vatican of Los Angeles’ film theaters. Between 1995 and 1999, Oswalt attends “church” with the fervor of a fanatic, and in his latest book, Silver Screen Fiend Fiend, he reflects upon his time in the “glow pulsing off of the movie screen” with piercing wit and sharp insight.

By keeping the narrative conservational in tone and in the present tense, Silver Screen feels like a storytelling session. Oswalt deftly correlates his cinematic viewing with the two-steps-forward, one-step-back rise of his career, both as a comedian and actor. The fledgling comic begins as a teenager working up an act in Washington, D.C., venues before taking his shtick to the wild west of San Francisco’s scene. It’s in the City of Angels, however, that Oswalt really finds his niche at the Largo within the “alternative comedy” community.

Despite his successes — he has a day job as a writer for MADtv and gets small parts in film (e.g., Stingray Radioman in Down Periscope) — Oswalt becomes increasingly obsessed with watching films until he finally becomes a self-proclaimed addict whose twodimensional life interferes with his three-dimensional one.

Although Silver Screen Fiend is a slim tome pagecount-wise, it is hefty with humor and wisdom and observational gems. With popcorn and red vines in tow, Oswalt gives readers a glimpse inside the darkened theaters of his formative years where, it turns out, he learned invaluable life lessons.

Ross has just installed Isolated, his new exhibition on the solitary confinement of juvenile offenders. The show consists of another set of Ross’s astonishing prison photographs, but at its center there’s something else, something three-dimensional and immersive: a scale model of an isolation cell.

Inside it, and above the standard featureless cot that is the tiny room’s only furnishing, a loudspeaker wired to the ceiling pours forth a soundtrack of young men and women baring their souls in the process of explaining and justifying their wrecked lives.

The photos Ross takes are ordinarily designed to protect the privacy of his subjects, but his new installation was designed with an eye to invading the privacy of someone else—the viewer. “I like it that it’s distracting,” Ross says to me as the sound of taped testimony interrupts our conversation.

“It should be distracting because that’s what life is like for these kids.”

Ross was once lauded for the elegance and rigor of his images of museums, and the transformation that brought him to his current obsession with the justice system occurred in stages. After a project documenting nuclear fallout shelters came out in 2004, Ross followed it with Architecture of Author Authority in 2007, which featured images of everything from the holding cells at Guantanamo

Bay to the office of the assistant principal for discipline and attendance at Santa Barbara High School. Clearly something clicked for Ross around this time because ever since, he has been working like a man possessed, and the results he has achieved are truly extraordinary. It’s safe to say that in Ross, Santa Barbara can lay claim to being the home of one of the world’s most important — and fearless—documentary photographers.

Every image is the result of an arduous process of negotiation, one that begins with the various officials who must approve his entry into the prisons he visits, and that only ends when he establishes a connection of trust with his subjects. That last step is clearly a doozy, and one that very few people attempt. Ross outlined the way he does his interviews like this: “When I get to the cell, the first thing I ask for is permission to enter.

No one else who comes to them asks the kids for that, so right away I’m signaling that this is going to be different. When I get inside, I take off my shoes. They usually don’t have shoes on, so neither should I. Then I sit on the floor; that’s where I go before I ask any questions.”

This routine, which Ross has developed by trial and error over the last eight years, is what makes his life-changing work possible.

It’s also what makes this unforgettable show so worthwhile. I recommend it to everyone who visits the Atkinson between now and December 4. Look at the images and then enter the cell. Take off your shoes. Sit on the floor. Listen to the voices. As Ross says, n “These are our kids.”

GEt rEady to lauGh

uess what made its way back to town? The LOL Comedy Festival, which made its S.B. premiere last year. Once again, the organizers have booked renowned comedians to complete the purpose of this comedy festival and have you laughing—no, roaring—out loud. The roster includes reputable big names such as Cheech Marin, Andy Daly, Chris Hardwick, and many others. The Santa Barbara Independent staff had a chance to talk to some of the headlining comedians coming to town: Kira Soltanovich, Brad Williams, and Eric Schwartz.

Kira Soltanovich

The voice of the photo booth on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, a regular on Girls Behaving Badly, and a cast member of truTV’s How to Become a Grown Up, Kira Soltanovich answered my first interview question— “What’s up?”—with a deadpanned, “I just had a baby six weeks ago, so I have no life. Interview’s over!” Raised

by Russian parents, who are “still scary when smiling,” Soltanovich finds humor in every aspect of life. At 15, she would sneak into comedy clubs with some friends and her mom, who would claim to security, “Yes! They’re all 18 and all my children,” Soltanovich said, “and it would be me, my Asian friend, and my Mexican friend.”

She slipped in jokes to every part of our conversation, making it easy to see why she got into comedy, which comes to her so naturally. “It was court ordered,” she said.

After her first Showtime comedy special, Here Comes Trouble, Soltanovich decided to self-produce her next one to preserve creativity and originality. (Unfortunately, it won’t be available before the festival, as it is currently being finished.)

Making a TV special is expensive, so how did she raise money to do this? A couple of months ago, she used her pregnancy to crowd fund, an idea collaborated on with comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla. Basically, anyone willing to pay a certain amount could make a permanent imprint on her life and

that of her child’s. “For $20,000, they can choose the middle name,” explained Soltanovich. “Middle name, because you know… Let’s not be complete lunatics. And for $25,000, they can cut the umbilical cord.” (The people who paid for the first option graciously gave Kira rights to her daughter’s middle name. The second choice did not happen.) Clearly, Soltanovich treasures creative control beyond normal standards, a recipe for a good show.

You may have caught her at the Set List shows at Telegraph Brewing Co. or at Comedy Hideaway, but she will be bringing something totally different to S.B. this time around: “Head lice from my 4-year-old, 30 extra pounds, and hormones,” she warned.

Returning from last year’s festival and named “Most Likely to Become Famous” in his high school yearbook, Brad Williams recorded his first television special, Fun Size, at the Lobero Theatre during last year’s LOL. “Since then, my whole life changed. Now I’m really excited to come back to S.B., where it all began,” he said. And according to Williams, Santa Barbarans really know how to rally. So maybe this year’s show will end with another lap dance with an audience member. Who knows?

Williams has done shows for junior high school kids and for the rowdiest drunks at a midnight show in Baltimore. He’s experienced a girl throwing her head back from laughter and accidentally lighting her hair on fire, someone having a heart attack, and a man proposing to his girlfriend during his show, so he knows exactly how to adapt to audiences and situations. “I’m always ready. I’m ready for anything to be thrown at me, sometimes literally,” he explained. And for those who saw Williams’s show last year, don’t worry about hearing the same jokes for this time out; Williams challenges himself to constantly write new material— for his own sanity, as well as that of the audience material — thanks to the esteemed Louis C.K., who set the bar high by vowing to do a new hour of comedy every year. Since the

S.B.

Brad William WilliamS

moment Williams was brought up onstage as an innocent bystander at a comedy show for being a dwarf, he knew comedy was it. “The laughter I caused was a shot of adrenaline … or heroin, depending on what you prefer.”

With hopes that the audience trusts him to choose the right comics, he will be presenting some “who haven’t gotten their share yet” at this year’s Next-Up Stand-Up. When he’s not on the road 15 weeks a year, Williams performs at improv and comedy venues to stay sharp—it’s no wonder he’s constantly meeting a lot of talented people. And, in case the show is boring, he has the answer: “If a bad thing happens, ask someone for a dwarf. It just makes everything better.”

Eric Schwartz always brings a madman’s bag of comedic skills to LOL Fest. His stand-up features music, brainy nerdiness, and multimedia displays, in a form he calls “multi-comedia.”

“I spent all my bar mitzvah money on deejay equipment. I was a deejay in college, and I just started mixing my music into comedy from there,” he said.

Schwartz produces an original and exciting experience with a winning mix of charisma, lanky physicality, and innovation. While the Thousand Oaks–born Schwartz’s show is multifaceted, with a background in journalism, he keeps his joke-writing classically funny. His quick wit and journalism skills came in handy when he reported on the scene for LOL Fest last year. “I was the man on the street for LOL Fest last year and handled all of the post-show interviews. That was really fun, to interview my friends, who I know well and have good rapport with,” Schwartz said humbly.

Schwartz is often featured at the Laugh Factory and has a solid YouTube following. Videos such as “Crank That Kosha Boy” have garnered millions of views, and several of his parody videos have been acclaimed by media networks like E!, BET, and Forbes.com. Schwartz will be performing on Chris BET Hardwick’s The Nerdy Show this year at LOL Fest. “I know I’m a nerd because I’ll be out in public, and I’ll see a font and say, ‘Oh, oh, oh, I know that font. That’s Futura, that’s Rockwell, that’s Veranda,’ because I’m a font savant.”

entura’s Kyle is the most popular rapper from the 805 in the world today because he never quite fit in. Raised in the San Fernando Valley in a white household and a student at a mostly Hispanic and black school before moving to Ventura at the age of 12, Kyle mixed and mingled with all manner of communities and incomes, a part of each but belonging to none exclusively. Without a clear category for self-definition, Kyle found commonality in them all. “I understand how similar we are. We’re all confused; we think we’re different,” he said.

And so while bloggers, industry executives, and other rappers have dismissed him for his

Dante elephante

F

ans have waited a long time for S.B. indie rockers Dante Elephante’s debut album, Anglo-Saxon Summer, but its gestation has been longer than anyone may realize: The title has been around since leader Ruben Zarate was a senior in high school, reading Anglo-Saxon poetry in English and daydreaming of releasing an album.

Jubilant with verbed-out verve and nostalgic melodies, the band’s debut showcases them as spiritual successors to the Pixies. On wistful songs like “Yung Gurls,” Dante is a maestro of the reveries and ardors of teen life and the sibling feelings that follow into young adulthood. Though sometimes pegged as surf music, it’s surf music in the Beach Boys sense, wistful for summers and crushes bygone and a little afraid of the waves.“We don’t care what the people say,” said guitarist and singer Kevin Boutin.“Rock ’n’ roll is here to stay.”

The band will be celebrating the release of its new album on Friday, October 2, at Velvet Jones with support from Clean Spill,

positivity and pastel colors — he wasn’t tough enough, wasn’t thug enough, wasn’t enough like the others — the fun-loving, videogaming Kyle has won a severalmillion-strong spectrum of fans for being himself. “I’ve had to take a lot of backlash and questions from those types of people just ’cause of the person I am,” he said of his detractors in the hiphop world. But he’s not stressing.

“Being yourself is only hard if you’re afraid of what other people are gonna say about you. I’m not really worried about that. As long as I’m improving a life somewhere, that’s all that’s important to me.”

His newest album, SMYLE, in which fans “can expect complete happiness,” is all about life improvement, about smiling through the tough times as well as the good ones. Kyle lost his father-figure grandfather at an early age, and the profound loss taught him how to create an inner light when none seemed to wait at the tunnel’s end. It’s with an inner light that Kyle continues to shine upon crowds of every color, categories be damned, and he hopes his shows awaken a similar force in his fans.“There’s a superhero in everybody,” he said.

I Dream a HIgHway

by Richie DeMaria

B

eing an American, I have trouble imagining music without America.

After all, what subject matter has proved so fruitful to so many folklorists, rockers, rappers, and other musical romancers of this great and sprawling land mass? Are there not more songs written about the American experience than about the lived experience of any other nationality? You don’t exactly see Canadians like Neil Young (who plays here at the Bowl next week) and Joni Mitchell running to Russia to become honorary lyric laureates of their new homeland. Historians and the aliens who discover our ashes will no doubt note what a powerful influence the idea of America had on the lyrics of all rebels, vagabonds, and dreamers worldwide. And like many things American, time has proved what an incredible shelf life the idea of America has.

Indeed, time’s a revelator, sings Gillian Welch, who plays tonight at the Lobero Theatre with her great guitarist, David Rawlings. While time reveals some things to be false, it also preserves those things that are enduringly true. In that way, Welch and Rawlings can make music that gets called, time and time again,“timeless.” Though contemporary in time and place, the pair continues to win accolades for the way they reimagine music styles from olden times. The duo plays to the time-tested tune of Americana folklore, in which Welch sings of the famines and harvests of the heart, the seasons of sorrow that sweep across its temperamental plains.

She sings also of American history. Abraham Lincoln and Elvis Presley are both subject matters, as are the nameless folk of rural and rugged times gone by: coal miners’ daughters, barroom girls, morphine addicts.

So classic are their tunes that just this month, the Americana Music Association awarded Welch and Rawlings a Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting.

Meanwhile, down at the Funzone, an up-and-coming young voice from Arizona delivers her take on American themes. R.Ariel, recently named by music mastermind Brian Eno as one of his favorite new artists for the “elusive serenity” of her minimalist pop compositions, plays the same night as Welch. Given that R.Ariel will have just released her new book, In North America, this musical patriot can’t help but feel a certain cosmic coincidence in the dueling gigs.

In North America is a stream-of-consciousness recounting of her recent trans-American and Canadian tours spent in a 1990 Oldsmobile “always on the verge of breaking down.” In the book, she writes of her experiences on our continent’s highways, as well as her experiences growing up poor in Phoenix.“What poverty does is create a very odd sense of displacement and isolation, and a lot of ostracizing feelings of not belonging,” she said in a phone interview. Playing the DIY circuit poses some real struggles for the “essentially homeless” R.Ariel, as the often-meager compensations fail to cover gas expenses.

But music, she says, “is the glue that holds people together,” and a lack of resources has forced her into new creative realms. Working with few instruments, R.Ariel creates inventive mood music with haunting guitar and her spellbinding voice. Her newest album, This World, promises a lonely dreaminess.

Indeed, if there’s another natural resource our country may lay a claim on, it is the boundless solitude that springs from our open landscapes. On those empty roads, the sparse music of R.Ariel, like the sparse music of Gillian Welch, would be a great accompaniment.

verest is based on journalist Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air, the former Outside writer’s eyewitness account of the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster that killed eight people. In one scene, the movie version of Krakauer (Michael Kelly) asks the climbers why they chose to climb Everest. Most reply with some version of “Because it’s there.”

That seems to be more or less why this movie was made, and it describes the style in which it is told. The movie was made to recapture the action and drama of that fateful day and provides a “just so” explanation of events with about the same amount of depth and bland you-can-do-it sentiment as one of those black-framed office motivational posters. Viewed to the tune of the usual cinematic orchestra, these death-defying heights look and feel ordinary and factory-made. It’s the age-old Hollywood tale of how masculine heroism can outlast even the harshest of storms and how if you just never let go, you’ll get back to your wife in one piece.

Which is to say, as an adventure film, it suffices. It’s true that outdoor adventure often finds its explanation in silence, and in a way, the movie does a very respectful job of honoring the wordless reasons for expedition.

The cinematography is beautiful, of course, but that’s sort of an easy win on the camera crew’s part, given

ELEVATE ME LATER: Starring Jason Clarke, Everest is a serviceable but not deep retelling of the 1996 disaster that took eight lives.

that the Himalayas are some of the most spectacular mountains on earth. The blizzard scenes are gritty, and the suffering is believable.

But Everest does nothing to explore why the disaster happened beyond “because it happened.” There’s a line about the $65,000 price tag but little to suggest how competitive commercialization added to disastrous conditions. And there is, classically, barely a word about the Sherpas, who, despite aiding almost every expedition and despite accounting for a third of the bodies on the mountain, remain the invisible unmentionables of Everest in Western eyes, underpaid and unacknowledged. For now, the mighty mountain, on-screen as off, somehow winds up a bland motivational metaphor to service commercial interests, with a blindness toward the less convenient truths of why. n

hen a big movie has been made about a big enigmatic person, you want to know pretty quickly why you should watch it. In most feature films, we meet a hero or maybe even an attractive evil creature. This is a big movie with historical context smeared all over it, but it takes a long time to figure out why we should care about its topic, fussypants chess player Bobby Fischer.

For the first two-thirds of this movie, we watch Fischer (Tobey Maguire) throw tantrums, make absurd demands, and just not show up. He has great talent, we learn, though only in newsreel montages. He also has a strange cadre of enablers like Paul (Michael Stuhlbarg), who might be CIA, and Father Bill Lombardy (Peter Sarsgaard), a chess-loving priest whose relationship to Fischer is never explained. The sidekicks are far more watchable than the hissy-fit hero.

In fact, little about this historical drama is made clear, even for those of us who remember it. There are hints about Watergate, 1970s narcissism, and Cold War posturing that suggests we are in a cockeyed world.

What we never learn about is chess. The only time this film ever comes fully alive is when Fischer is playing.

rules, or even funny stories would have helped us care.

Remember Salieri’s music lectures in Amadeus? They made that film’s high jinks and tragedy resonate. In this film, we read on a title that game three of the SpasskyFischer duel was the greatest chess game ever played, but not why.

Hollywood dreads engaging the intellect, but it’s hard to imagine people not interested in chess heading out for the multiplex. I feel like I know less now. This movie has a final, dark monologue that spells out a profound sense of futility. Nice move. But that and a few tense games are all we get to counter the image of a brat from Brooklyn who commandeers the news cycle.

Justin Bieber looks good by comparison. n

This animated adventure comedy tells the story of two friends who attempt to rescue their pal after he’s dragged to Hell.

Fiesta 5 99 Homes (112 mins.; R: language including some sexual references and a brief violent image) Dennis Nash (Andrew Garfield) struggles to get his home back after being evicted by going to work for a diabolical real estate broker (Michael Shannon).

Paseo Nuevo (Opens Thu., Oct. 8)

Ladrones (105 mins.; PG-13: some violence, language, and suggestive material) This is the sequel to the 2007 film Ladrón que roba a ladrón, about two thieves who reunite to fleece a television mogul. Now the pair must reclaim land stolen from a hardworking community by a ruthless family of crooks.

Fiesta 5 (Opens Thu., Oct. 8)

(98 mins.; NR)

PREMIERES

iceinparadise.org

Hell and Back (84 mins.; R: pervasive strong crude and sexual content, language, and some drug use)

This documentary reveals the events leading up to the attack on young Pakistani girl Malala Yousafzai by the Taliban for speaking out about girls’ education.

Riviera (Opens Thu., Oct. 8)

The Martian (141 mins.; PG-13: some strong language, injury images, and brief nudity) Matt Damon stars as an astronaut who becomes stranded on Mars after a storm separates him from his crew. Presumed dead by NASA, he must find a way to signal to them that he is alive.

Camino Real (2D and 3D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

Pan (111 mins.; PG: fantasy action violence, language, and some thematic material) In this prequel, Peter Pan (Levi Miller) is a 12-year-old orphan who is spirited away to Neverland, where he encounters pirates Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman)

Just added free events from Arts & Lectures and Hook (Garrett Hedlund), Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara), and other characters of this fantastical world.

Fiesta 5 (2D)

(Opens Thu., Oct. 8)

Sicario (121 mins.; R: strong violence, grisly images, and language)

Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro, and Josh Brolin star in this film about the escalating drug trade on the border between the U.S. and Mexico.

Camino Real/ Paseo Nuevo

The Walk (123 mins.; PG: thematic elements involving perilous situations and some nudity, language, brief drug references, and smoking) In 1974, French tightrope walker Philippe Petit attempted to walk on a wire between the World Trade Center towers. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Petit in this adventure film directed by Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Cast Away, The Polar Express). Arlington (3D)

NOW SHOWING O Black Mass

(122 mins.; R: brutal violence, language throughout, some sexual references, and brief drug use)

This is a realistic film, proclaim the skin details, based on the very real life and times of James “Whitey” Bulger (Johnny Depp) and the way he manipulated a hometown friend in the FBI (John Connolly, played by Joel Edgerton) into giving him free reign as South Boston’s crime mastermind. Black Mass is a powerhouse of a movie in its entertainment value, acting strengths, and decade detail. Depp’s performance skyrockets his Whitey instantly into the ranks of a Norman Bates or Hannibal Lecter, transcendent in its terror. The fascinating film will still make you cower in its portrayal of individual evil and the coldest reaches of the soul. (RD) Fairview/ Paseo Nuevo

O A Brilliant Young Mind

(111 mins.;

NR)

From Rain Man to The Imitation Game, the industry seems obsessed with the doomed and the gifted. But this is the one that finally gets the pathos and excitement levels set just right. Scripted with intelligence, flirting cleverly with the clichés, this film chronicles the upbringing of an emotionally constipated math genius kid (he’s Spock as English boy) raised by a single mother (Sally Hawkins) after the death of an unconditionally loving father. (DJP)

Plaza de Oro

O Grandma

(79 mins.; R: language and

some drug use)

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. And it does it without much preaching at all.

(DJP) Riviera The Green Inferno (100 mins.; R: aberrant violence and torture, grisly disturbing images, brief graphic nudity, sexual content, language, and some drug use)

In this horror film, a group of dogooder students traipse into the Amazon jungle to save the rain forest and find themselves hunted by cannibals.

Fiesta 5

Hotel Transylvania 2 (89 mins.; PG: some scary images, action, and rude humor)

It’s hard to get enthusiastic about anything in this mediocre sitcom love story.

The main problem is its simple abandonment of rational discourse. In the end, all the problems are solved with a big war, and monster hugs are ridiculed.

It’s a good-looking movie; it’s kind of a funny, scary Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein for a more cautious age.

This is just slapstick and easy satire.

SAT, OCT 3 / 3 PM / UCSB CAMPBELL HALL

“Essential reading… The Prize may well be one of the most important books on education to come along in years.” The New York Times

The Intern (121 mins.; PG-13: some suggestive content and brief strong language)

Robert De Niro stars as a widowed retiree who decides to get back into the workforce by becoming an intern at an online fashion site. Anne Hathaway costars.

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo Learning to Drive (90 mins.; R: language and sexual content)

Their meeting changes both of their lives in unexpected ways.

Plaza de Oro Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (131 mins.; PG-13: extended sequences of violence and action, some thematic elements, substance use, and language)

In this second installation of the Maze Runner saga, Gladers hunt for clues about the mysterious, diabolical organization called WCKD. Full-blown wars and lightning bolts more than compensate for forsaking the author’s intentions or fan expectations. (DJP) Camino Real/

One of today’s finest writers in science and nature, Diane Ackerman is a Pulitzer Prize finalist D author of The LEthe NCEand CAZookeeper’s Wife and A Natural History of the Senses. Her latest book explores how humans have become the single dominant force of change on the planet.

Metro 4

Sleeping with Other People (101 mins.; R: strong sexual content, language including sexual references, and some drug use)

A serial cheater and a womanizer form a platonic friendship that helps them each change their ways.

Metro 4

O The Visit (94 mins.; PG-13: disturbing thematic material including terror, violence, and some nudity and brief language) What makes M. Night Shyamalan’s assertive comeback so amazing is its restraint. At the same time, the film seduces us with an audacious blend of comedy and terror. This is not an examination of family terror; it’s something more peculiar and cool, containing the elements of ghost stories, fairy tales, and trauma fables. But it works because the director has newfound confidence in his real skill set, keeping us frightened ’til we laugh out loud. And vice versa. (DJP)

Metro 4

War Room (120 mins.; PG: thematic elements throughout)

Despite their seemingly perfect façade — great jobs, dream home, perfect daughter — Tony and Elizabeth Jordon are actually at each other’s throats most of the time. With the help of a wise new friend, Miss Clara, the couple uses prayer to transform their lives.

Are early relational experiences really that important to the development of a person? Do the bonds we form in childhood make a difference in later intimate relationships such as our marriages?

Beginning with animal studies conducted in the 1950s, Gurney will present classic and revolutionary research in the field of attachment and child development and discuss the development of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Internal Working Model (IWM). As a practicing clinical psychologist, Gurney will discuss the four different attachment styles and the ways they affect relationships in childhood and adulthood.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of octobeR 1 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The next seven weeks will NOT be a favorable time to fool around with psychic vampires and charismatic jerks. I recommend you avoid the following mistakes, as well: failing to protect the wounded areas of your psyche; demanding perfection from those you care about; and trying to fulfill questionable desires that have led you astray in the past. Now I’ll name some positive actions you’d be wise to consider: hunting for skillful healers who can relieve your angst and aches; favoring the companionship of people who are empathetic and emotionally intelligent; and getting educated about how to build the kind of intimacy you can thrive on.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You may have seen websites that offer practical tips on how to improve your mastery of life’s little details. They tell you how to de-clutter your home or how to keep baked goods from going stale or why you should shop for shoes at night to get the best fit. I recently came across a humorous site that provides the opposite: bad life tips. For instance, it suggests that you make job interviews less stressful by only applying for jobs you don’t want. Put your laptop in cold water to prevent overheating. To save time, brush your teeth while you eat. In the two sets of examples I’ve just given, it’s easy to tell the difference between which tips are trustworthy and which aren’t.

But in the coming days, you might find it more challenging to distinguish between the good advice and bad advice you’ll receive. Be very discerning.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On a windy afternoon last spring I was walking through a quiet neighborhood in Berkeley. In one yard there was a garden plot filled with the young green stems of as-yet unidentifiable plants.

Anchored in their midst was a small handwritten sign.

Its message seemed to be directed not at passers-by like me but at the sprouts themselves. “Grow faster, you little bastards!” the sign said — as if the blooming things might be bullied into ripening. I hope you’re smart enough not to make similar demands on your-

self and those you care about, Gemini. It’s not even necessary. I suspect that everything in your life will just naturally grow with vigor in the coming weeks.

once, you will suddenly tune in to facts, situations, or influences that had previously been invisible to you.

That’s a good thing! But it might initially bring a jolt.

CANCER

LIBRA

(June 21-July 22): “I am rooted, but I flow,” wrote Virginia Woolf in her novel The Waves. That paradoxical image reminds me of you right now. You are as grounded as a tree and as fluid as a river. Your foundation is deep and strong, even as you are resilient in your ability to adapt to changing circumstances. This is your birthright as a Cancerian! Enjoy and use the blessings it confers. (P.S. If for some strange reason you’re not experiencing an exquisite version of what I’ve described, there must be some obstacle you are mistakenly tolerating. Get rid of it.)

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The 20th century’s most influential artist may have been Pablo Picasso. He created thousands of paintings, and was still churning them out when he was 91 years old. A journalist asked him which one was his favorite. “The next one,” he said.

I suggest you adopt a similar attitude in the coming weeks, Libra. What you did in the past is irrelevant.

You should neither depend on nor be weighed down by anything that has come before. For now, all that matters are the accomplishments and adventures that lie ahead of you.

LEO

SCORPIO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Should I offer my congratulations?

You have corralled a gorgeous mess of problems that are more interesting and provocative than everyone else’s. It’s unclear how long this odd good fortune will last, however. So I suggest you act decisively to take maximum advantage of the opportunities that your dilemmas have cracked open. If anyone can turn the heartache of misplaced energy into practical wisdom, you can. If anyone can harness chaos to drum up new assets, it’s you. Is it possible to be both cunning and conscientious, both strategic and ethical? For you right now, I think it is.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A windbreak is a line of stout trees or thick bushes that provides shelter from the wind. I think you need a metaphorical version: someone or something to shield you from a relentless force that has been putting pressure on you — a buffer zone or protected haven where you can take refuge from a stressful barrage that has been hampering your ability to act with clarity and grace. Do you know what you will have to do to get it? Here’s your battle cry: “I need sanctuary! I deserve sanctuary!”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let’s say you have walked along the same path or driven down the same road a thousand times. Then, one day, as you repeat your familiar route, a certain object or scene snags your attention for the first time. Maybe it’s a small fountain or a statue of the Buddhist goddess Guanyin or a wall with graffiti that says “Crap happens, but so does magic.” It has always been there. You’ve been subconsciously aware of it.

But at this moment, for unknown reasons, it finally arrives in your conscious mind. I believe this is an apt metaphor for your life in the next week. More than

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your fellow Sagittarian Walt Disney accomplished a lot. He was a pioneer in the art of animation and made movies that won numerous Academy Awards. He built theme parks, created an entertainment empire, and amassed fantastic wealth.

Why was he so successful? In part because he had high standards, worked hard, and harbored an obsessive devotion to his quirky vision. If you aspire to cultivate any of those qualities, now is a favorable time to raise your mastery to the next level. Disney had one other trait you might consider working on: He liked to play the game of life by his own rules. For example, his favorite breakfast was doughnuts dipped in Scotch whisky. What would be your equivalent?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): October is Fix the Fundamentals Month. It will be a favorable time to substitute good habits for bad habits. You will attract lucky breaks and practical blessings as you work to transform overwrought compulsions into rigorous passions. You will thrive as you seek to discover the holy yearning that’s hidden at the root of devitalizing addictions. To get started, instigate free-wheeling experiments that will propel you out of your sticky rut and in the direction of a percolating groove.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Have you made your travel plans yet? Have you plotted your escape? I hope you will hightail it to a festive playground where some of your inhibitions will shrink, or else journey to a holy spot where your spiritual yearnings will ripen. What would be even better is if you made a pilgrimage to a place that satisfied both of those agendas — filled up your senses with novel enticements and fed your hunger for transcendent insights. Off you go, Aquarius! Why aren’t you already on your way? If you can’t manage a real getaway in the near future, please at least stage a jailbreak for your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Pablo Neruda’s Book of Questions consists entirely of 316 questions. It’s one of those rare texts that makes no assertions and draws no conclusions. In this spirit, and in honor of the sphinx-like phase you’re now passing through, I offer you six pertinent riddles: (1) What is the most important thing you have never done? (2) How could you play a joke on your fears? (3) Identify the people in your life who have made you real to yourself. (4) Name a good old thing you would have to give up in order to get a great new thing. (5) What’s the one feeling you want to feel more than any other in the next three years? (6) What inspires you to love?

Dream Home lives Up to Its Name

riving the winding route to the appointed address, my excitement grew as our elevation rose. A majestic view has always been high on my priority list when describing my dream home. Also on the list are a great outdoor living space, a sumptuous bathroom, a big and inviting kitchen, and an overall comfortable atmosphere. My dream home should be classy but not intimidating. I want to be able to relax and feel like, well, like I’m at home.

A bit lower down the priority list are a few nice-to-haves, such as a library, a fireplace, and a walk-in closet. Oh, and did I mention the pool? My dream home has to have an awesome pool—and I wouldn’t mind a great BBQ area near that pool, either.

Being invited to tour the dream home for the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara’s (MCASB) 2015 Dream Home Raffle conjured up all sorts of images. The website calls the house “a newly built California Resort style home,” which leaves a lot to the imagination. As we arrived at the designated location, we could tell the house was special as we approached the front door. The frontyard landscaping is new, drought-tolerant, and beautiful. The neighborhood is quiet and secluded but not remote. And that number one priority—the view—captivated us through the glass-fronted entryway before our host even opened the door.

I’m no feng shui expert, but I love being able to look through a house into its backyard and the vista beyond. It makes the house itself feel like a meal promising a delicious dessert soon to come. The dream house teased us, pulling our attention through to the view and then back to our surroundings as we stepped in. One foot into the foyer and we were enchanted. The living room/dining room/kitchen combination typifies the concept of a great room. I wanted to hang around, breathe it all in, and just relax. It’s an inviting house with modern angles mixed with natural materials. It flows well and feels good.

There are two bedrooms and two baths on the main level.

All the rooms have a spacious, open feeling with lots of windows yet still lots of privacy, and there are plenty of special details throughout the house. The striking master bath has a gorgeous, white raised bathtub with a gravity-defying open shower, all tiled in marble. The kitchen has a separate wine bar, the master bedroom has a gorgeously appointed walk-in closet, and there is even a library with an honest-to-goodness rolling ladder. Downstairs there are two more bedrooms, two more bathrooms, and even another living room.

The home’s outdoor space just might overshadow the interior. The master bedroom has French doors opening out onto a balcony that wraps around the house and leads to the huge outdoor living room, complete with a separate outdoor kitchen, all overlooking the pool. The yard itself has three separate levels, lending to the feel of distinct outdoor rooms.

Although the neighbors are not far away, there’s an air of separation and seclusion.

Yes, the home meets all of my dream criteria and then some: The hardwood floors are beautiful, natural wide planks. The

staircase leading downstairs has an amazing picture window. There’s a fireplace outside. The view encompasses the ocean and islands. And there’s a black-bottom pool. Did I mention the pool?

The dream house is the grand prize in the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara’s Dream Home Raffle. The winner gets to choose between this amazing home and three million dollars. Other prizes include a trip around the world, a Tesla, a Mercedes-Benz, and a laundry list of exotic vacations, computers, audio equipment, other electronics, and more. Single tickets are $150, and the chances of winning a prize are one in 20. The proceeds go to fund and expand the efforts of the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara. The museum provides education and outreach programs, which are primarily free of charge. The Dream Home Raffle is their main annual fundraising activity.

The grand-prize drawing will take place on December 6, but there are bonus early-bird drawings that start as soon as October 2. The earlier you buy your ticket, the more chances

Address: Undisclosed Status: Not on the market, but available to win. you have to win. Historically, the grand-prize winner has chosen cash rather than the dream home, but depending on your own priority list, it may be impossible to turn this home down.

Whether you wish upon a star, blow out your birthday candles, or buy a raffle ticket, this dream home just may fulfill your heart’s desire and make all of your dreams come true.

The MCASB Dream Home is not for sale, but raffle tickets are available by calling 1 (888) 402-9222. For more information and more photos of the dream home, visit sbhomeraffle.com.

“This year’s Annual Awards Ceremony celebrates 50 years of recognizing those who go the extra mile to keep Santa Barbara Beautiful,” said Jo Ann Mermis and Ricardo Castellanos, who were cochairs of the annual awards gala, which featured food, wine, beer, live jazz, and redcarpet interviews.
