Monarch butterflies flitter on both sides of the Rockies, and that mountainous divide is where things got interesting in the wake of last week’s “Tropical Milkweed” article. Immediately after Carolina Starin’s piece warning of parasites in the tropical variety ((A. curassavica) appeared, Ward Johnson, of Minneapolis’s Save Our Monarchs, posted a comment offering eastern milkweed seed ((A. incarnata). An exchange about natives, native-to-where, and tropical milkweed followed between Johnson and Bob Danziger, a composer in Carmel whose Brandenburg 300 Project — dedicated to Bach’s concertos — supports the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History’s California milkweed ((A. fascicularis) program.

Inside the ICe Machine Media Tour the Debated New Building in Santa Maria

F

by T y l e r H ay d e N

our months ago, after intense community resistance to its opening, Santa Maria’s new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) headquarters quietly began operations. In that time, agents working in the nondescript gray building on Century Street between a towing yard and porn distributor have processed approximately 200 migrant offenders on their way toward likely deportation. Celso LeonGarcia is one of them.

On Tuesday, the 74-year-old native of Guanajuato, Mexico, was sitting in one of the facility’s three holding cells opposite a tattooed gang member from Cuba. Leon-Garcia had just been released from the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo after serving a 30-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. He said matter of factly that he shot a man near Fresno who was threatening his son and that he was excited to reunite with family in Tijuana.

ICE officials later stated Leon-Garcia entered the U.S. illegally in 1971 and was deported before once again making the journey north. They said the Cuban gang member, who declined to be identified, possessed both a green card and lengthy rap sheet. Within a matter of hours, both would be driven to the Los Angeles area for deportation hearings, at which they could petition for asylum. Mexican nationals ordered back across the border are handed off through a special gate at the San Ysidro crossing, explained David Marin, an ICE deputy field office director out of L.A. After that, it’s up to Mexican authorities where they go. If they have no clear home base, they often return to the U.S., Marin said.

During Tuesday’s media tour, Marin made repeated efforts to dispel concerns that the Santa Maria facility is a long-term lockup 8

or militarized headquarters for deportation sweeps. Those worries were aired during Santa Maria City Council and Planning Commission hearings last year that drew hundreds of demonstrators arguing ICE’s presence would strike anxiety and fear among the area’s large Latino community.

Congressmember Lois Capps expressed her own reservations at the time.

“This is not a detention center,” Marin said.

“It’s office space that just has a processing area.”

He pointed to the bank of cubicles that fill the building’s main room and noted how the holding cells, which can house up to 13 people total, occupy just a tenth of its floor plan.

Marin explained the building mostly acts as a temporary waypoint for detainees who have completed their prison or jail terms but are candidates for deportation.

The 10,000-square-foot structure replaced 40-year-old trailers on the Lompoc prison grounds and serves that penitentiary, the Men’s Colony, and San Luis Obispo County Jail. Offenders picked up from the Santa Barbara County Jail are processed at ICE’s Camarillo office, though if and when the North County Jail opens in the next three years, the Santa Maria center would handle those cases. It is budgeted for 12 field agents and has desk space for a number of additional officers should federal funding become available.

Agents also make arrests on the street at a rate of 15 or so a month, mostly for DUI and domestic-violence offenses but also for more serious drug- and gang-related crimes. On a daily basis, area residents stop by to report suspicious activity or individuals they think are in the country illegally. One woman recently gave the identity of her husband’s girlfriend.

ICE supervising agent Steven Finn said that, overall, 95 percent of people processed through Santa Maria are Mexican nationals.

Others come from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and the Philippines. The office, Marin went on, doesn’t have the desire or resources to conduct indiscriminate raids in neighborhoods and workplaces, as critics have claimed it would. “We don’t go out into the community and just target anybody,” he said. “Anybody we go after is someone we know has a criminal conviction, has been previously removed, or is a serious threat to the community.”

Prompted by lingering confusion over some of ICE’s detainment policies, Santa Barbara County supervisors recently requested more detailed information from the federal agency on how many undocumented individuals are being held in the County Jail, how many detainees are deported each year, and how many high-priority offenders remain free. Members of Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), who recently took their own tour of the Santa Maria building after a request from Rep. Capps for more dialogue between the group and ICE, have called for greater transparency from the department.

ICE agents last month made 49 arrests in Santa Barbara during a 30-day enforcement effort that covered multiple jurisdictions.

That sweep came on the heels of a four-day operation in seven Southern California counties that resulted in 20 arrests in Santa Barbara. ICE officials said they targeted individuals who fell into the agency’s Priority I or Priority II classifications — meaning they were convicted of felonies, or multiple or significant misdemeanors — and the busts came in response to the state’s prison realignment measure that resulted in more inmates being released from county jails. In both sweeps, most of the arrests were made in Santa Maria.

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Registered sex offender Genise Gomez (formerly Genise Schu) was denied permanent spousal support from her ex-husband at the conclusion of a highly charged trial last week. Gomez, 53, served three years in prison for engaging in a long-term sexual relationship with her son’s 13-year-old friend. Her attorney argued that his client was not abusive in her roles as mother and wife, before or during her seven-year affair with the victim. Judge Colleen Sterne disagreed. “The three Schu children and their father were subjected to unease and emotional abuse for years,” she said. Read more at independent.com.

The District Attorney’s Office announced on 10/1 that it has filed six misdemeanor charges against TV anchor Paula Lopez after her DUI arrest last month. Lopez kicked two officers, resisted arrest, and refused to take a Breathalyzer test, according to the CHP. Her blood-alcohol content was allegedly higher than 0.15. Deputy District Attorney John Savrnoch is handling the case, which will be heard in South County.

Planned Parenthood’s Thousand Oaks health clinic was set on fire by an arsonist late on 9/30. No threats were called in that day, and no one has since claimed responsibility. No one was hurt in the incident, and the building’s sprinkler system quickly doused the flames, but significant water damage was inflicted to first-floor offices.

The clinic was closed until 10/5. Jenna Tosh, CEO for the tri counties’ Planned Parenthood, said no threats have been made against the Santa Barbara office, though picketing and protests have escalated there in recent months.

CITY Even with three burst water mains causing mayhem in the past two weeks, Santa Barbara city staff contend they’re not seeing an unusual spike in problem pipes. Public Works official Cathy Taylor said there are, on average, 60-80 burst mains a year. Thus far, there have been only 53. “I think people are more sensitive because of the drought,” she suggested. Taylor said 44 percent of the city’s water mains — ranging from two inches in diameter to 36 — are made of poor-quality cast iron, having been installed in the boom time of the 1950s and 1960s.

Santa Barbara is the second-drunkest city in California — topped only by Santa Monica — according to a ranking released by RoadSnacks, an editorial and data aggregation website. The site took into account number of bars and liquor stores per capita, divorce rates, and Tweets including the words #Drunk, #Party, and #Cocktails. According to RoadSnacks, Santa Barbara has the thirdhighest bars-per-capita ranking and the fifth-highest liquor-stores-per-capita ranking in the state, as well as an 11.09 percent divorce rate.

The Kids are (Mostly) alright a a pau l wellm an

The dropout rate among students Superintendent David Cash across Santa Barbara Unified School District is nearly one out of 10, a number superintendent David Cash described as “horrible” at his recent State of Our Schools address.

Cash also lamented the stark inequity between elementary schools countywide, where budgets range widely between $8,000 per student on the low end and as much as $24,000 per student on the upper.

However, those sobering statistics were among the very few pieces of bad news Cash delivered at the $45-per-plate breakfast held earlier this month at the DoubleTree Resort and hosted by the Santa Barbara Education Foundation.

Mostly, Cash was upbeat, focusing on technology advancements in the classroom, ongoing transitions to new teaching standards, and the district’s effort to become what he called “culturally proficient.” On this latter point, he explained that an ideal teacher is one who has grown up in Santa Barbara and speaks Spanish. At the same time, he pointed out that 1,017 students became “English proficient” last year, up from 377 the year before. On top of that, SAT scores topped 1600, bettering the statewide average of 1487. Meanwhile, critics contend Cash failed to talk about lackluster reading levels and challenges associated with special education.

A free State of Our Schools presentation and Q&A will take place at 6 p.m., October 20, at Franklin Elementary.

In related news, Nancy Weiss, the district’s food services director, received the Golden Carrot Award from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Since taking over in 2008 — and with help from the Orfalea Foundation — Weiss has transformed the food program from a doling out of highly processed heat-and-serve meals to an offering of made-from-scratch dishes of fresh and local ingredients. “The once faltering program — which was operating $200,000 in the red prior to Weiss’s arrival — is now thriving financially,” according to a press release. “Since 2010, the program has made a profit — Keith Hamm every year and now operates fully in the black.”

Nine out of the 12 candidates competing in the Santa Barbara City Council district election attended a health-focused youth forum on 10/5 at the Louise Lowry Davis Center.

The evening began with a meet and greet between candidates and area youth and provided a space for students to ask candidates how they would advocate for the health and needs of the young people. The forum, moderated by Dos Pueblos High School Activities Director Scott Guttentag, was hosted by the Santa Barbara Youth Council, Future Leaders of America, and the Coalition of Youth Advocates.

COuNTY Outside Santa Barbara city limits, the shortterm rental market has exploded, particularly in Los Olivos and Montecito. On Tuesday, growing concerns about noise, traffic, and the loss of long-term rentals prompted the Montecito Association’s land-use committee to reinforce its position that vacation rentals of less than 30 days have no place in its residential neighborhoods. The committee voted unanimously to recommend that such sentiment ascend the bureaucratic food chain as county planners tackle the nuances of any

new regulations. The issue goes before the Montecito Planning Commission next month.

The ill-fated Haggen grocery chain asked District of Delaware Bankruptcy Court on 10/5 for approval to sell 36 stores in California and Nevada to Gelson’s Markets and Smart & Final. Under the proposed sale, two Haggen locations in Santa Barbara County on upper State Street in Santa Barbara and Linden Avenue in Carpinteria would be sold to Smart & Final, a warehouse-style grocery chain with two stores already on South Broadway Street in Santa Maria and East Gutierrez Street in Santa Barbara.

STATE & fEDERAL Sheriff Bill Brown took exception to an antiracial profiling bill signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown that requires law enforcement agencies to keep records of the age, race, and gender of people stopped and questioned.

Brown objected the bill would impose additional burdens on law enforcement, diverting funding from more immediate public safety needs. “In Santa Barbara we’ve made it clear racial profiling will not be tolerated any time it rears its ugly head,” cont’d page 10 

Office of Emergency Management Facing Hard Questions over Leadership and Finances

W

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

ith October the official start to high fire season and El Niño storms looming, the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management finds itself the focus of intense scrutiny. In less than a year, four of its five experienced managers have left the department. One filed a fair-employment complaint with the state, and a lawsuit against the county appears inevitable. In addition, the department has been subject to an unprecedented months-long audit by County Auditor-Controller Bob Geis after accusations arose that grant reimbursements were not billed correctly.

At the helm of the department is Ryan Rockabrand, who worked in the city of Chicago and Los Angeles County and took over a department already awash in turmoil two years ago. Though there was an expectation change was coming, observers noted his first days resembled those of a bull in a china shop.

According to several sources, collaboration with local jurisdictions has suffered in recent years. Further, the Orfalea Foundation, which donated $8.1 million to disaster readiness in the county, expressed frustration with departmental leadership.

The four certified emergency managers who left, Joe Guzzardi, Jay McAmis, David Flamm, and Richard Abrams, had collectively worked for the department for 55 years, and their expertise in the field was widely known.

Currently, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is looking to hire three people and plans to rotate positions between its headquarters and a new office in Santa Maria.

For his part, Rockabrand said the turnover reflects a changing workforce and that the profession is evolving. With baby boomers retiring, he said, there are more vacancies and more opportunities. With five managers at the same level, he said, the structure was “flat.” In January, he created an at-will deputy director position and brought on Bob Troy, whom he worked with in Chicago, to be his Number 2.

He also created eight new part-time positions and three internships. “While we have had people move on in their careers, we’ve also increased our capacity,” he said.

NuTs aNd bolT ol s olT

Little is popularly understood about what the department does. Emergency managers function like forecasters: They draft contingency plans for natural or man-made tragedies; they work behind the scenes to facilitate policy choices; and they participate in disaster drills.

For instance, where should the debris go after a mudslide? How should resources be put in place after a big storm? They are not first responders. independent.com

County OEm chief Ryan Rockabrand

In Santa Barbara, the county department has long had its critics. A Grand Jury investigation in 2006 found the department was ill equipped to handle a major disaster, faulting its public information dissemination, medical care and shelter, and its emergency operations center. A separate report found county department heads had no motivation to prioritize emergency management for their employees. Two years later, the emergency operations center was still housed in trailers in a parking lot in the county campuses off Calle Real; the Grand Jury found it would probably not withstand even a moderate earthquake.

In 2011, OEM moved into its nondescript —but state-of-the-art—11,000-square-foot building surrounded by metal fencing and 24/7 surveillance cameras. The Orfalea Foundation chipped in $2 million for the project, and the building boasts solar panels, a generator, a helicopter landing space, conference rooms, and a central room filled with modular workstations.

“I came in and added the bells and whistles,” Rockabrand said during a recent tour of the space. Just outside sits an Earthquake Early Warning System that could detect a 7.8-magnitude earthquake on the San Andreas fault three and a half minutes early, explained Rockabrand, who frequently speaks in acronyms. “That’s enough time to open elevators and stop trains,” he added. His passion for emergency management, and his fondness for equipment, is evident. The department is expected to complement its Nixle notification system with a more user-friendly platform next month.

Plays Well WITH oTHers?

Ten years ago, Hurricane Katrina epitomized catastrophe associated with deficient emergency management, and the devastating storm proved the need for effective planning nationwide. That storm in part prompted the Orfalea Foundation, a dominant phil-

Cops on Warpath

Expressing frustration that none of the candidates now running for the Santa Barbara City Council are adequately addressing issues of public safety, the Police Officers Association (POA) sent a mailer to voters conveying their exasperation with leadership of the department over the past 14 years. It lamented the decline in morale, not to mention the number of cops on patrol. The flyer did not mention Chief Cam Sanchez by name, but given that he’s been chief the past 14 years — the longest of any police chief in California — it didn’t need to.

The POA mailer took issue with the mold, asbestos, and lead found by Cal/OSHA inspectors at police headquarters earlier this year. Although the City Council has budgeted for 144 sworn officers, the actual field strength is closer to 130. That’s because several cops have been injured, some have retired, and many have transferred to other departments closer to their hometowns. POA leader Sergeant Mike McGrew said poor morale was to blame, insisting it’s never been lower. Sanchez was not available for comment, having sustained injuries when a tire smashed into his windshield while he was driving toward LAX this past Sunday.

City administrators acknowledge the department is experiencing chronic recruitment and retention issues but added that those are common to departments throughout the state. Since public attention has become more focused on issues of police brutality and racial profiling — the so-called Ferguson effect — departmental brass say fewer qualified recruits are interested in signing up for the police academy. McGrew also said calls for service have hit record levels and that officers have been forced to respond without backup. Likewise, he contends there’s been a seven-fold increase in the number of assaults on officers.

McGrew said with 30 days left before the election, it remains possible the union could still endorse candidates. If it doesn’t, it will be the first time in 30 years the POA — normally a significant endorsement — has not backed candidates in a City Council race. In the meantime, the Firefighters Association has not yet decided — Nick Welsh which, if any, candidates it will endorse.

he said. “In that way, it’s kind of a solution in search of a problem.” Brown’s criticisms were echoed by Santa Barbara Assistant Police Chief Frank Mannix, who noted that the bill will not apply until 2023 for an agency the size of the Police Department.

In a new campaign filing, County Supervisor Salud Carbajal reported raising $405,000 in the latest three-month period of the election cycle, bringing his total contributions to over $1 million in the competition for Santa Barbara’s 24th District congressional seat.

Mayor Helene Schneider, Carbajal’s chief Democratic rival, reported raising $145,000 in the quarter, bringing her total to $370,622.

On the Republican side, Justin Fareed raised $207,000, bringing his total to more

than $376,000. Figures for Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian of San Luis Obispo County were not available as of press time.

Gov. Jerry Brown held a rare bill-signing ceremony for State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson’s gender-based pay equity legislation, using the Rosie the Riveter park in Richmond as the photo-op backdrop. Jackson’s bill protects employees from retaliation by their employers when they seek information on what other workers doing “substantially similar” jobs are paid. Jackson’s bill requires companies to pay the same amount for “similar” jobs. Enforcement of the bill goes to a state employment agency, which has yet to determine what jobs are similar to others. In California, women earn on average 84 cents to every dollar earned by a man. n

More Pini Problems

Attorneys at City Hall have grown exasperated with landlord Dario Pini and the stipulated judgment by which they can crowbar Santa Barbara’s best-known building-code violator into compliance. Since the agreement was signed in July 2013, deputy city attorney John Doimas estimates inspectors have issued more than 100 notices of violation involving some of the 100 or more properties Pini owns within city limits. In that same time, Doimas estimated Pini has been fined up to $200,000.

Doimas and his boss, City Attorney Ariel Calonne, say they’ve seen little behavior change by Pini since City Hall initiated the legal action. Under the stipulated judgment, both sides meet once every four months in front of court-appointed Special Master Stan Roden. But both sides agree that this process isn’t working and should be modified to focus on just a handful of the worst Pini properties, set strict deadlines by which compliance must be met, and agree on fine amounts in advance. Judge Colleen Sterne must sign off on the new arrangement first, and no court date has been set.

Pini’s attorney Larry Powell estimated that one-third of the violations involved overflowing trash containers. Doimas said Pini’s biggest problem was doing construction work without permits, thus creating health and safety issues. Powell acknowledged that Roden may have recommended $200,000 in fines, but he said only Judge Sterne has the authority to levy such sanctions. To date, he stated, City Hall has made no effort to get Sterne to order the payments. That’s because Pini and City Hall have always worked things out, he said. As another indicator of City Hall’s impatience, however, police are compiling a list of all calls for service either about or originating from Pini’s units. In the past, such information gathering preceded — Nick Welsh major enforcement actions.

Supes Demand More Info About Mental-Health Programs in Jail

*Quantity is limited to availability and prices are subject to change

SHOW ME THE MONEY: Sheriff Bill Brown said the only alternative to treating the jail’s mentally ill is to do nothing and make the problem worse.

In the course of the meeting, it emerged that 113 of the jail’s 1,011 inmates had prescriptions for psychotropic medications.

Of those, 22 were participating in some mental-health program; 44 percent were deemed stable enough to be assigned to the jail’s general population. Supervisor Janet Wolf said she thought these numbers were low. Supervisor Salud Carbajal wondered how the “tiny pieces”— how he described the existing mental-health programs—were woven cohesively together. He bemoaned “the lack of strategy,” adding, “We have not cracked this nut.”

The supervisors noted they’d never heard of some of the mental-health programs Brown described in his report. For Brown and the board, such surprises seem to be an abiding bone of contention. Brown acknowledged several of the programs remain on the drawing boards.

In the STAR complex, 32 “special use” beds would be set aside for those in dire medical need and the mentally ill. As to the funding, Brown said, all programs would be paid for out of the Inmate Welfare Fund, a $1.2 million pot comprising revenues generated by commissary sales and inmates’ phone calls.

One critic suggested food servings at the jail have become strategically smaller to encourage commissary sales.

The Federal Communications Commission appears poised to limit the ability of local jails to charge inmates high phone fees.

Should that occur, Santa Barbara’s Inmate Welfare Fund will be out $400,000. That, in turn, would eat into programs.

Brown described the STAR complex as the single best chance the county had to turn people around.“We have a captive audience,” he noted. “The alternative is to not do anything meaningful that will help the mentally ill. The result is people will get worse, not better.”

The alternative, at least to Supervisor Adam, was find another place to divert the mentally ill: “We’re trying to do two things at once, and we may not do either one very well.” Trying to create a therapeutic environment for the mentally ill in a county jail, he said, was akin to fusing “a tractor store with n an auto dealership.”

THE LAST SONATAS

by N I C K W e l s H f County Jail has become Santa Barbara’s de facto mental institution—as pretty much everyone agrees it has — Sheriff Bill Brown found himself on the hot seat Tuesday as the county supervisors relentlessly demanded to know what kind of mental institution he planned to operate when he builds a new jail in North County.

Mostly, the supervisors wanted to know how much the mental-health programs there were going to cost, but they were also curious how many mentally ill inmates get locked up and how often they come back as repeat offenders. Brown and Commander Julie McCammon scrambled to come up with answers, but to the questions most on the supervisors’ minds, the reply was mostly, “It depends.” As for the data demanded, Brown pointed out that the jail’s current system is antiquated and that the supervisors had nixed his funding request this year for a more modern info-dredging system.

For his efforts, Brown got little purchase from the supervisors, who’ve grown increasingly impatient with the sheriff and his North County jail complex, which will cost millions of general fund dollars a year to operate. “For $40 million, I don’t think I can rely on ‘If you build it, they will come,’” said Supervisor Peter Adam, adding, “which is what I’m hearing you say.”

The $40 million to which Adam referred is the cost of adding a 228-bed annex to the bigger 376-bed North County jail, dubbed the Sheriff’s Treatment and Recovery (STAR) complex. The STAR annex is supposed to come equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities, designed and programmed to reduce recidivism, treat the mentally ill, and get addicts clean and sober.

Because the current jail is a crazy quilt of buildings and wings built over time with no design coherence, Brown pointed out custody officers have to escort inmates to mental-health programs, often located inconveniently across the campus, and back again. All this costs lots of money. In sharp contrast, Brown insisted, the new facility has been designed to incorporate treatment space in every pod.

anthropic force that will sunset at the end of this year, to take on disaster readiness in the Santa Barbara area. In 2008, the foundation launched its Aware & Prepare Initiative, which trained thousands of people, including 600 in Spanish, and brought together volunteer organizations. “It all happened in spite of OEM leadership and vision,” said Barbara Andersen, who was the director of strategic partnerships for Orfalea and worked with the department for eight years.

In fact, in 2011, under the leadership of former OEM director Michael Harris, the foundation rescinded a half-million-dollar grant after the department failed to set up an oversight committee or comply with reporting requirements to manage the funds. The foundation is still seeking a recipient for that grant before it shuts down.

Disasters know no boundaries, and collaboration and trust are essential. To what extent a lack of collaboration significantly affects emergency readiness in Santa Barbara remains to be seen. “An incident that spans multiple jurisdictions will stress our emergency management system because the relationships between the county and city jurisdictions have been weakened over a decade,”Andersen said.“The new leadership has not strengthened it.”

Rockabrand took exception to the characterization that cooperation has waned. He said the building regularly hosts trainings for other entities. He listed a number of local collaborative efforts, including Emergency Public Information Coordinators, Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, Aware & Prepare, Community Emergency Response Teams, and American Red Cross.

He added that leadership could be defined by an organization sustaining itself in the absence of high officials. Creating an environment with a shared vision and commitment is a top priority, he said, “so I know that whether I’m in the area or not, OEM and its partners can be effective.” He travels often and sits on federal and state committees. His LinkedIn profile is exhaustive, but his critics worry his connections command a cost to local relationships. “Santa Barbara is very close-knit,” said one former employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “It’s been acrimonious.”

His supporters acknowledged Rockabrand’s inclination to make swift changes but argued the working environment at the department today is better than it was in the past.

in the area. The county determined most of them would be reclassified to “program/ business leader.” According to Human Resources Director Jeri Muth, most of the employees received just under a 25 percent raise but lost their union representation.

Before Rockabrand was hired, it should be noted, two of the former managers applied for the director position, but neither was offered an interview. One of the former employees, Joe Guzzardi, filed an administrative complaint in April, alleging age and physical disability discrimination since July 2013.

Guzzardi, who previously ran for county supervisor and city councilmember, contended he was falsely accused of insubordination, faced unwarranted and burdensome changes in his work schedule and location, and was retaliated against after reporting discrimination and harassment. Guzzardi has retained an attorney, Janean Acevedo Daniels, and said he could not comment on the matter. The parties could settle in the near future, but if they don’t, Guzzardi is expected to file a lawsuit.

County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni declined to comment.

To the extent Rockabrand has weathered a Santa Barbara emergency, the Refugio Oil Spill was it. During that event, the notion that Santa Barbara is a unique place was painfully obvious. Environmentalists and others within the community objected that the official response was slow from the start and that the public was left in the dark.

In the early days, the decision was hastily made to set up the Unified Command post at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). With hundreds of people from federal, state, and local agencies, along with Plains All American Pipeline executives, crammed into the county EOC, the space proved to be problematic.

The reason the county was able to be at the table in the first place, Rockabrand said, dates back to a Memorandum of Understanding the county has long had with the state. He noted the daily written briefings and telephone conferences to area partners. Of the argument raised that the county did not play a significant enough role in the response, he said, “I would challenge anyone who brings that to me.” A disaster council will convene later this month to debrief about the spill.

It remains to be seen if the internal audit will find whether any grants were mismanaged. Part of the difficulty is that the managers who left held crucial information. Geis’s office is expected to report to the Board of Supervisors next n month.

he oil industry may not, in fact, be the “dirty, dangerous, and destructive” business that its alliteration-loving critics have been claiming in recent months, but the last few weeks have proved exceptionally tough on an extraction industry rocked by plunging prices and the political radioactivity spawned by the Plains All American Pipeline spill this May. That exceptionally high-profile spill promises to evolve a multimillion-dollar cottage industry for entrepreneurial litigators, but, in the meantime, Plains has just written its first claims check to the County of Santa Barbara for $386,500.81 to cover costs incurred and damages suffered. While the county has yet to release an estimate for the total amount it will claim against Plains, it’s expected many future claims will be filed, and the price tag will hover somewhere in the high sevendigit neighborhood.

While the May spill has receded somewhat into the rearview mirror of Santa Barbara’s popular political consciousness, its aftershocks are still being felt. When federal oil-pipeline regulators ordered Plains’ defective pipelines 901 and 903 shut down in the wake of the spill, they effectively called a halt to three major oil and gas operations along the Gaviota Coast for an indefinite period.

In response, ExxonMobil — by far the largest of the three —met with Santa Barbara County oil and gas regulators this week to discuss its plans to truck out the 400,000 barrels of oil currently being stored in the company’s two massive storage tanks. The term used by company officials to describe this work is “de-inventorying.” ExxonMobil officials explained they wanted to empty the tanks to do maintenance work. Empty tanks, they pointed out, are less prone to the ravages of corrosion and pose less of a risk in the event of an earthquake.

County planner Dianne Black said ExxonMobil representatives explained they intended to move the oil to an unspecified location to the north and that the effort would require 30 trucks a day for four months. To date, she said, ExxonMobil has discussed moving only the oil in the tanks.

If the company were to include oil currently held in the pipeline running from the company’s offshore rigs to the facility in Las Flores Canyon, far more oil would be involved. How much that would be, she said, ExxonMobil officials have yet to specify.

Likewise, she said, no clear permitting path has been identified.

Venoco — also shut down and shut in by the spill — recently trucked about one-tenth the volume of oil proposed by ExxonMobil from its operations off the coast by Ellwood in order to conduct maintenance work. That

entailed an exodus of 34 trucks daily for 17 days. That work took place, said Black,“without incident.”

In other oil patch news, rumors abound that Santa Maria Energy — the North County oil company most responsible for triggering an anti-fracking backlash among south coast environmental activists in recent years — has shut down and issued layoff notices to its workers. Repeated phone calls and emails to company executives have gone unanswered.

Meanwhile, the federal regulatory agency, PHMSA, responsible for the safety of pipelines that transport liquids — as opposed to gasses—has just issued new safety rules designed to address mounting public concern over the growing number of high-profile oil spills. PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) has been under intense attack from all sides of the political spectrum for the timidity and torpor of its response to growing safety concerns.

Before the ink was dry on the 150-page document, Congressmember Lois Capps issued a sharply worded statement dismissing the effort as inadequate. In an interview Friday, Dianne Black said she had not yet had time to “absorb” the new rules, but she noted that conspicuously missing from the lengthy document was anything requiring oil-pipeline companies to equip new—or retrofit existing—pipelines with automatic shut-off technology. Black testified before a congressional committee in Washington, D.C., that Plains All American was the only major pipeline operator in Santa Barbara County not to avail itself of such technology.

Plains officials have objected the technology is prohibitively expensive and can make spills significantly worse by causing serious backup problems. Because interstate pipelines like Plains’ are subject to federal pipeline controls but not state regulatory authority, Plains has thus far been able to resist county pressure to use such equipment. n

by J e r r y r o b e r t s n 1949, the great historian Carey McWilliams portrayed Californians as blessed with “a spirit of great independence and a self-reliance bordering on truculence.”

That independent spirit was demonstrated anew this week, when Governor Jerry Brown signed a watershed “death with dignity” law, making California just the fifth, and by far the largest, state to adopt such a measure.

More significantly, it is notable that long before Brown’s action, Californians favored strongly the right of mortally sick and suffering people to receive life-ending medications — in sharp contrast to the contemporaneous views of most Americans.

A glimpse into the files of the benchmark Field Poll shows that as early as 1979, twothirds of Californians supported so-called physician-assisted suicide; about the same time, 60 percent of those across the nation believed a person did not have “a moral right to end one’s own life,” the Pew Research Center reported, even if “faced with great pain and no hope of improvement.”

Eureka, indeed.

É Immigration: PPIC’s report shows that 75 percent of Californians believe that immigrants here illegally should have a legal pathway to citizenship — including 53 percent of Republicans — and 65 percent say immigrants are a benefit to California. In the CNN survey, however, a minority of 46 percent said the government’s top immigration priority should be crafting a plan for those here illegally to become legal residents.

As Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump sounds nativist themes, a 52 percent national majority favor building a fence along the entire Mexican border; 65 percent of Republicans and 82 percent of Trump backers hold that view.

Opinions LAST RIGHTS: It was deadline day, and I

was slammed, but it was my next-door neighbor on the horn. He’s the neighbor everyone wishes they had, and if he calls — ever — you simply take it. He’d been seized by an idea how to re-brand suicide, though the idea of “re-branding” anything was precisely the sort of abomination that would never cross his mind, let alone pass his lips.

At the time, the state legislature was debating a medically assisted suicide bill sponsored by a former hospice social worker turned state pol named Susan Talamantes Eggman.

Governor Jerry Brown had not yet signed the bill, and the chances of Eggman’s bill making it out of the legislature appeared remote in the extreme. Members of the predominantly Roman Catholic Latino caucus had gotten their arms twisted and ears bent by anyone wearing a collar. The Church wanted this bill killed. Like most people with any mileage on planet Earth, my neighbor had either done his own dance with a deadly disease or watched a loved one forced to foxtrot their way to the bitter end. “The language is all wrong,” he exclaimed of the rhetoric used by the bill’s proponents. “No one wants to hear about ‘assisted suicide.’ It’s a loser.”

His solution? Call it something else. His suggestion? “Call it ‘Youdecide,’ ” he said.

“Or if you want to be hip, you can spell it ‘Udecide.’ ” I chuckled, said something vapidly encouraging, and quickly found another call to take.

Dog Star Rising

But he was not to be fobbed off so easily. In his youth, he’d successfully led a group escape from a Mexican prison —all captured in a recent National Geographic documentary —their only digging tool being an old butter knife. Two days later, he was back, this time armed with a song he’d written for the new campaign. Among his many talents, my neighbor plays trumpet, keyboards, and bagpipes. As part of political propaganda campaign, he’d appropriated a crying-n-dying Louisiana swamp pop song that hit number one for two weeks in 1963, “I’m Leaving It Up to You,” by a duo that split up more than they stayed together named Dale and Grace.

My neighbor, it turns out, also sings and left a rendition of the refurbished tune on my answering machine.

In subsequent weeks, I somehow found other things to write about. But I watched the debate over assisted suicide unfold both in Sacramento and in Santa Barbara. Assemblymember Das Williams —who opposed the bill on religious grounds—explained that proponents intentionally wrote the measure in such a way the legislature couldn’t pass it; the point all along, he said, was to put it to voters in 2016 as a statewide ballot initiative.

Williams expressed reservations about language stipulating medical assistance would be rendered only if the patient had six months or less to live. Williams’s own grandfather, diagnosed with prostate cancer, had been given six months to live nearly five years ago. If

the bill had been on the books, would Williams’s grandfather have pulled his rip cord prematurely?

Everyone has a story.

Even though polls showed assisted suicide had 70 percent approval ratings, proponents felt compelled to yank the bill to avoid certain legislative annihilation this summer.

Williams took serious heat for his opposition and from people who’d long been happy cogs in his political machine. More than 50 of them showed up to demonstrate outside his downtown offices. Across town, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson made it clear she and Williams were poles apart; in 1999, during her first stint in Sacramento, Jackson pushed an assisted suicide bill of her own. When her mother was diagnosed with leukemia, she made it clear she didn’t want to die alone and she wanted to die with dignity. She wound up getting half her wish, but for Jackson, one out of two wasn’t good enough.

Everyone has their story.

One of my uncles, terminal cancer, got a mercy shove by a next-door neighbor who happened to be a doctor. His kids were grateful. A remote relative with terminal cancer shot himself in the head to escape the pain.

Out of consideration for those cleaning up the mess, he went outside first. Even so, the mess was considerable. Another relative helped his father, stricken with Alzheimer’s, overdose. They’d made a pact before things got bad that if and when they did, the son

independent.com

would take action. Although charges would eventually be dropped, the son was charged with murder. That, too, proved to be a considerable mess.

Opponents worry assisted suicide will be used to pressure the sick and handicapped to take a long walk off a short pier by greedy relatives and insurance providers looking to cut costs. I get it. But the experience of Oregon, where assisted suicide has been legal since 1997, doesn’t bear such fears out. The vast majority who have availed themselves of medical assist there have been white, educated, affluent, and well into their seventies.

Ultimately the bill got to the governor’s desk during this year’s special session. Everyone agrees it took the ugliest political route imaginable. The governor made it abundantly clear he disapproved of the process. Still, he voted for the bill.“I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain,” wrote the former Jesuit seminarian. “I am certain, however, it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by the bill. And I wouldn’t deny that right to others.”

That’s good news for my next-door neighbor but bad news, it turns out, for local sharks.

If the bill hadn’t passed, he had a backup plan to make a Velcro-encrusted vest and cover it with large bloody slabs of chum and other shark bait. The end, he acknowledged, might be violent and terrifying. But probably it would be fast. In the meantime, I can’t get that terrible song out of my head.

Jim Eby passed away Monday evening, September 28, 2015, after earning his wings and going to a better place under a full moon. He was born November 30, 1946, in Glendale, California.

The beloved husband of Jennifer for 42 years, he was a good, ethical and loyal person—an absolute one-of-a kind.

Jim’s inviting smile, great patience, laughter and warm heart were the foundation of lifetime bonds with innumerable family members, friends and acquaintances. He had a self-deprecating nature and acerbic wit as well as tremendous intelligence, about which he was always humble.

He loved working with people creating and building things, skills he applied diligently in his long career, particularly the past 3 years at Valencia Technologies, a medical device startup. There, a place he loved going to work, he was chief of operations for implantable medical devices. Jim found it gratifying to have his work improve the lives of others.

He is remembered by co-workers and friends as “a great leader and even greater person,” with exceptional “strength, integrity, and insight.”

He accepted people for who they were and was able to bring out the very best in them.

An outstanding family man, Jim loved dressing up as Santa Claus and carving elaborate, stunning Halloween pumpkins, among other avocations.

He believed every day possible should be a celebration. One of his favorite activities at home was working in the garden under the supervision of Kate and Gracie, the family’s two black labs.

Jim died of metastasized melanoma. The family wishes to thank the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Visiting Nurse and Hospice

Jim was born in Chicago, IL, to George Ernst and May Hochel Fuller, joining brother Ronald. He attended St. Philomena’s School and Lane Tech before his family moved to California, settling in Altadena, CA. He graduated from Elliott Junior High and Pasadena High School. Like his father and brother, he joined the Electrical Union, becoming a journeyman electrician and working in this trade and as a contractor for over 40 years. But his real interest was classic cars. He restored hundreds of cars to mint condition. He was a part of the local car scene, showing his Buicks, Cadillacs, Fords, and race cars. He also became a remarkable chef, enjoying French cooking tri-tip barbecues, and inventing his own recipes. Jim was a kind, gentle man with a dry sense of humor and many friends.

Jim leaves his wife of 55 years, Barbara; three sons Chris, Gary, and John; their wives; 11 grandchildren; a sister-in-law; 1 niece; and 8 nephews. He loved his family.

Sojourner Café 1978-2015

Veggies, with a Side of Nonconformity

aybe it seems quaint nowadays, but the

Sojourner Café was once the edible vanguard of late-1970s revolution. In those times, kids were fed up, so to speak, with the unhealthy conformity urged upon them by their sometimes insufferable Greatest Generation parents. Some people sought alternatives to meat-and-potato post-war culture and found it on Canon Perdido Street in 1978 when the Sojourner opened. Mostly a coffeehouse with music, board games, and a frisbee wall, the Soj fed our utopian dreams with veggies, brown rice, and tamari sauce.

It wasn’t nouvelle cuisine, but it was healthier than what our martini-marinated parents ate. To be fair, the Sojourner served a lot of other dishes, too, like the Conehead salad. Tuna melts and chicken tostadas graced the vegetarian chic of the place since the beginning.

The funky coffeehouse created by Wally Marantette and Bob Stout served coffee and chamomile tea and was affordable. Better yet, they built it on the ruins of the worst place in Santa Barbara — the American Opinion Bookstore run by the John Birch Society, the sign for which hung in the restaurant until the 1980s. Take it back further, and it was once the parade grounds of the Spaniards’ military headquarters. It was a big step up revolution-wise.

Other joints served health-conscious, sprout-festooned grub — the Tea House and Sun and Earth, for instance — but the Sojourner was the institution we all knew for the greening of downtown Santa Barbara.

And it kept evolving. An arson-caused fire in 1988 drew the community together for fundraisers. Good will helped spread the cozy little joint into the laundry next door, and it became the three-room circus it was in the end, the Sojourner as Phoenix, always hopping at night.

More eventful change happened when Marantette (Stout moved over to Zelo and then the Wildcat) sold the place to employees Donna Mudge and Edie Robertson in 1999.

Robertson, better known in those days as a skateboarding rock goddess (The Generics, Nancy Drew and the Clues), changed the direction of the kitchen from health to slow food, expanded the menu, and unleashed flavors while maintaining high standards for the ingredients. The restaurant’s desserts won this paper’s Best Of competition for a decade running. It had come a long way from brown rice.

But some basics remained the same. Women had an important role in the Sojourner from the beginning. “Wally liked to hire misfit talented women,” said Robertson. “Everybody who worked there was a misfit,” laughed Marantette, “including myself. We always thought of it as a home away from home for people. And for ourselves.” Remember Stella, who wore a beret and talked Jersey shores? And Rebecca, who rode up Canon Perdido on a big Harley? It was the alt journalists’ other office in the 1980s. It was where Summer Solstice art shows and parties took place. On dress-up Fridays, the staff wore all plaid, or something weirder.

The Sojourner, in the end, might have seemed a throwback to some. The neighborhood now leans toward artisanal coffees and pork belly sliders. Maybe the customer base thinned; maybe the business plan wasn’t sound. But after 35 years, it was much the same as in its beginning, a real Santa Barbara place that served veggies with a side of nonconformity.

“After I sold the place, I used to think it was the end of an era for me,” said Marantette. “Now it just seems like the end of an era.”

POLKA-DOT DAYS: In lighter times, the Sojourner crew, which included onetime owners Donna Mudge (below left) and Edie Robertson (below right), played with their uniform — and with their food: On “Garni Day,” customers might be served meals garnished with Peeps or gummy worms.

W

hen I left college and decided to “pursue a

career in journalism,” I needed jobs. Lots of them. I freelanced and worked part-time for this very paper. I folded clothes and graded papers and waited tables. While my UCSB friends trickled off to grad schools and bigger cities, I found myself working 70 hours a week and wondering where the hell my social life had gone. Then I took a hostessing gig at the Sojourner Café.

To this day, that job remains the biggest anomaly on my résumé. Sure, I had worked in other restaurants and knew the basics of front-of-house etiquette, but “the Soj,” as my coworkers so lovingly called it, was not your average mid-priced diner.

In many ways, taking that job was like entering a special little Santa Barbara club. There was a lingo and a vibe and a very particular kind of clientele: old-school Mountain Drive types and their new-school compatriots. First-wave vegans and third-wave hippies, fire-spinners, Burners, longtime S.B. locs, young families, and devoted solo diners. The Soj was about as far removed from Del Playa keg culture as Santa Barbara got.

And when I first walked in there, I was as intimidated as all the Yelpers who say the Soj’s vibe was its downfall.

Despite all this, I opened up to it, partly because I needed the money, but mostly because it opened up to me. In a matter of hours on that first training shift, I started to understand what the appeal of this bizarre-o throwback health food joint was. For starters, the place glowed with warmth (and soup) hours after almost every other kitchen downtown called it quits. The bar acted like most bars did — except instead of thumping bass and cheap beer, it served beet juice and lively conversation. We not only knew our customers; we could anticipate their moves (and quirks) before they ever even sat down. It was kind of like Cheers, but with more salads.

Perhaps most importantly, though, the Soj opened me up to a group of friends who didn’t look at me as some fresh-out-ofcollege out-of-towner with not an ounce of hippie street cred; that staff welcomed me into the other side of Santa Barbara. It was in their company I saw my first meteor shower at Lizard’s

Mouth, attended my first secret — and totally illegal — bonfire on Hendry’s Beach, watched my first Solstice Parade, and made my first trek to Muddy Waters.

These were the type of coworkers who would not only cover for you when you were sick but also bring you some ungodly healing concoction after they were done. Under their watch, I was taught to float a roll and some butter to the homeless folks who came through our door, and help out artists and environmental activists looking to get their foot in.

I continued working at the Soj long after I took over as music editor of The Santa Barbara Independent. On any given night, I would wait on a politician, a doctor, a spiritual healer, a college student, or a yoga instructor, and play friend and/ or therapist to any and all of them. I often told people that I enjoyed the mix of having a desk job during the day and a social, person-to-person gig at night, where I could witness first-hand what was going on in the community, rather than just writing about it. The reality was I didn’t want to lose the connections that came with the territory.

I now live a few hours’ drive from Santa Barbara and can’t speak to the Soj of the past few years, but I think it’s safe to say its loss is palpable. Blame the economy or the menu or the new vibe of downtown S.B. for its demise, but don’t forget the Soj for what it was: an independently owned, community-first, Santa Barbara-pride-filled little establishment.

They made a damn fine pumpkin-chocolate-chip cookie, too.

Earl William Clayton 05/15/32-09/19/15

Earl William Clayton, Jr., 83, of Goleta, CA, passed away Saturday, September 19, 2015. Earl was born in Cedar Vale, KS, May 15, 1932.

He moved to Arkansas City, KS, as a child where he lived during his younger years, attended the local high school and the Cowley County Community Junior College.

In 1952 he joined the air force and served in Korea working as an announcer for the Armed Forces Radio Network. After the service, he worked as a radio newscaster and sports announcer for various stations in Arkansas City, Phoenix and then lastly in Denver where he doubled as the announcer for the University of Colorado Buffalos football team.

While working in Denver as “The Voice of the Intermountain Radio Network” he became acquainted with U.S. Senator William Armstrong, who was at that time running for his first term in Congress and his career took a turn. Earl served as his press secretary in Washington D.C. during then Rep. Armstrong’s first two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Earl subsequently decided to work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he was the anchorman for the Agriculture Update morning show. In 1981 he joined the U.S. Forest Service as public information officer for the Los Padres National Forest in Goleta, CA, where he served until his retirement in 1994.

Earl was delighted and honored to marry Susan Barnhart Hatfield in 1982 by the Chaplain of the United States Senate and immediately moved her to Goleta, CA, where they have lived ever since. Earl could not believe his good fortune to live in the Santa Barbara area where after his retirement he pursued his passion for golf and was able to play almost every day of the year for nearly two decades. His intelligence, dedication to golf, passion for politics and the ability to tell a joke for any occasion will be remembered by most. But it is “The Voice”, now stilled, that will be remembered fondly and missed perhaps the most by his family.

Earl is survived by his wife of 33 years, Susan; his daughter Kristyn Clayton and her children, Dani, Kevin, David and Teresa; his

son, Kent Clayton and wife Junko and their daughter, Sara; and his stepson Jeff Hatfield and wife Jeanette and their daughters, Cassidy and Emily.

A memorial service will be held 2 pm on Saturday, October 24, at Santa Barbara Community Church, 1002 Cieneguitas Rd., Santa Barbara. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lewy Body Dementia Association, lewybodydemetia.org.

Jerry Allen Zimmer 1938-2015

On Wednesday, September 2, 2015, Jerry Allen Zimmer took his last breath in the comfort of his own home, surrounded by his three daughters and his dog, Jack. Though his death gives us tremendous sadness, we also celebrate an amazing life that was lived to the fullest. Allen, aka “Zimmer,” was born in 1938 in Burbank, California, of modest and humble beginings. He found his way to Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo, where he cultivated his passion for design, earning a B.S. degree in architectural engineering in 1962. After graduation, and quite by happenstance, he answered an ad for a draftsman in 1963 and moved to Santa Barbara with his new wife, Holly Principe Joseph, to begin their new life. Ten years later, he established his own architectural firm—Architects West—where he would design countless award-winning professional, municipal and residential properties in and around the Santa Barbara area over a 40-year career.

Among his proudest accomplishments was the remodeling of the Santa Barbara Public Library in 1980. This achievement propelled his career forward and paved the way for his design of many other notable buildings, including the Santa Barbara Golf Course Clubhouse, the Goleta Library, two City Fire Stations, recreational buildings at Chase Palm Park and MacKenzie Park, several buildings at Samarkand Retirement Community, several downtown City Parking structures and the award winning parking structure at Santa

Barbara City College, to name a few. Allen was a past president of AIA Santa Barbara and was instrumental in establishing the Domingo Walking Tour for the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara.

In addition to designing many beautiful buildings around the Santa Barbara area, Allen also realized another of his dreams in 1977 when he built his own home in the hills of Santa Barbara where he raised his family.

Allen later purchased Las Casas Arellanes—a Historic Adobe dating to the 1840s in 2002 and soon completed an ambitious effort to repair and preserve the Adobe to its original historic style. He loved this sacred space and regularly enjoyed opening it up to friends, family and the community.

A measure of a man’s life can never be fully expressed in words, nor can it be described the same way for each person who knew him or was touched by him.

Allen’s life is no different. He loved and lost. He laughed and cried. He succeeded and failed.

He had moments of pure joy and moments of painful sorrow. He was compassionate and he was judging. He was free and he was burdened. But always, Allen was giving and passionate about life.

Allen was known for incredible timing. He could offer staggering wisdom, political insight or a corny joke that would make you laugh despite yourself. He was an avid golfer and spent many happy years playing with the Los Paisanos at the Santa Barbara Golf Club. Allen was a bridge player, a lover of theater and all types of music, particularly jazz and blues.

In his later years, Allen was also a voracious traveler and visited places all over the globe.

Allen’s retirement enabled him to expand his eclectic interests in a variety of fields. He was proud to serve on the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury for three years, and he joined a writing class in which he reflected on his life in often humorous and sometimes poignant stories. His decades-long subscription to the New Yorker Magazine led to joining the New Yorker discussion group, where his quiet remarks following a vigorous and noisy debate by the other participants, would often bring a stunning light of insight to the proceedings.

Allen’s membership in Vistas for Lifelong Learning introduced him to numerous opportunities he would have not attempted otherwise. Allen was a long-time member of the Humanist Society of Santa Barbara and an active pacifist.

Allen is survived by his three daughters: Kirsten Zimmer

Deshler, Maud Zimmer and Augden Zimmer; his two sons in law Terry Deshler and Bob Demmerle; his former wife, Holly Principe Joseph; his sister, Judy “JJ” Jappay; his five grandchildren, Grace Etta, Calvin Joseph, Griffin Allen, Ibarra Isabella and Zetana Audrey; and, his dear friend and partner in all things, Shirley Diamond.

Allen believed that life was not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away. He lived his life this way, and he continues to take our breath away with the legacy he left behind.

We would like, most profoundly, to thank Assisted Home Health and Hospice Care for their kindness and expert care during the final month of Allen’s life and the great support they have provided the family. We especially thank Tejsvie Pattani, RN; Kitty Glanz, MSW; and Robert Becerra, a steadfast and dedicated caregiver. We also thank Dr. Daniel Greenwald of the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara and Dr. William Koonce for their care.

We would also like to express our immense gratitude to Holly Principe Joseph. Her experience as a hospice social worker for over 30-years enabled her to provide enormous support to Allen and her daughters.

A memorial service will be held for Allen Zimmer on Thursday, October 15, 2015, in the Mural Room at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. The memorial will begin promptly at 3pm followed by a nearby reception. For details on the reception, please call: (805) 963-4800 or email his daughter Maud at maudz@att.net.

Shane Conran

08/15/59-09/20/15

Shane Michael Conran of Santa Barbara, CA passed away on September 20, 2015, after courageously battling brain cancer.

Shane’s optimism was inspiring.

He would comment during the past year that “Many other people are suffering more than I,” which is a testimony to his compassion. He was a wonderful, kind and caring person, always ready

and willing to help in any way he could.

Born in Laredo, TX, on August 15, 1959, Shane was the eldest child of Philip and Margaret Conran.

He attended Milford High School in New Hampshire and graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1982 with an Air Force Reserve commission.

After moving to California and while employed at Ventura Valve & Fitting, Shane completed his MBA at Cal Lutheran University and obtained his instructor pilot’s license. Finishing a successful career at VV&F, he helped found Superior Fluid Solutions. He married Donna Drean in 1990, and they settled in Santa Barbara, CA. In 1997 their beautiful daughter, Michelle, was born.

Shane loved nature, traveling and adventure, whether it was flying cross-country in a Cessna or hiking Mount Whitney. After his diagnosis, he was asked if he wished to visit anywhere in the world. He replied, “No,” because he was already in the place he cherished, and he was with family he treasured.

Shane leaves behind his wife of 25 years, Donna (Drean) Conran, and their daughter, Michelle Conran. He is survived by his parents, Ret. Col. Philip and Margaret (Tierney) Conran; his sister, Kelly Berlo; his two brothers, Patrick and Michael Conran, and their wives; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. in St. Raphael’s Church, 5444 Hollister Ave., with a reception following in the church hall.

In lieu of flowers, the family has set up a trust fund for Shane’s daughter, Michelle. Donations are much appreciated and may be made by credit card via https:// www.youcaring.com/michelleconran-439203 or by check made payable to The Michelle S. Conran Trust and mailed to P.O. Box 6523, Santa Barbara, CA 93160-6523.

Shane devoted his life to Michelle and would be very humbled by your kindness.

Kicked Down and Rejected

economic growth and prosperity. If Santa Barbara can’t keep up, we’ll lose our smartest, hardest-working citizens, not to mention the office-job schlubs like me who want to date them, to one of those cities.

I

really can’t deal with how we talk about mass shootings anymore. Every time, everybody gets completely riled up. Immediately we reenter the endless debate: inadequate mental health care versus inadequate control on firearms. Is it such a big mystery? We live in a world where children (particularly young boys) grow up playing games that encourage them to shoot people in the head all day. They turn on the radio and listen to songs about getting wasted, treating women like trash, and resorting to deadly violence to solve issues. This is not fringe culture; this is American popular culture today.

Even more disturbing, culturally, we don’t address men’s issues at all. We tell boys that to have feelings is wrong, that they must be strong and stoic for fear of being labeled a pussy; they are not allowed to vent frustrations and emotions; sadness and pain eats away at their soul until a ball of anger and hate eventually explodes in horrible ways.

The men who have committed these atrocities may not have been inherently evil, though what they did most definitely was. I think they were young men who had been kicked down, rejected, and told that they were inadequate for too long. Though I can’t imagine doing what they did, I can identify with the feelings I think they felt. The sickness in these men’s hearts is the same sickness in the heart of our collective society. The world bombards us with messages to compete, dominate, and take others down. It also constantly tells us we are inadequate, but buying Product X will make us okay.

Mass shootings are a symptom of a societal ill, the same ill that is producing environmental collapse, wealth inequality, depression, cancer, and others in a long list. Yes, we should make mental health care more accessible and guns less so. However, looking at the way we all live our lives and examining our thoughts and feelings can begin to create a world focused on cooperation and acceptance of others, but even more — Nathan Silverglate, I.V. importantly, for ourselves. It is the harder path, but it’s the one that actually gets at the root of the issue.

A Real Candidate

H

as Donald Trump morphed into a real candidate? Political experts, establishment politicians, those running against him, and the media have ignored him, mocked him, called him a racist, smeared him, and lied about him. (He does not endorse single-payer health care.)

And yet, Trump is still standing and has methodically turned into a legitimate candidate. He has released three serious papers on policies. They include taxes, immigration, and guns. His papers are detailed and principled.

Not only is he getting wall-to-wall coverage, but he is also tackling issues important

to everyday Americans, conservatives, and independents.

I, for one, will seriously consider voting for him. He may be the only one with the business knowledge to improve our economy and have the strength to save our republic by standing up for America.

In 2015, minimum wage is the new normal, and it’s not enough to get by, let alone try to get an education, start a business, or find love.

Wages in America, adjusted for inflation, have been stagnant since the ’70s, while the cost of living has continued to rise. We’ve waited for the labor market to self-correct, but it hasn’t, and it won’t. This is what legislative action is for.

Not only did most receive “equal” pay, but over half were paid more than I was. I’ve asked several employed ladies if they were being financially abused, and they’ve all said they made as much as their male counterparts. But they agreed many females were generally less reliable in some professions than men. From my own experience, females took more sick leave, took longer lunch hours, and did more socializing on the job.

Equal pay for equal work is talked about, but the fact is this is a free country, and wages are dependent on the economy, work-force reliability, education and experience, and skill levels. Trying to equate a janitor with a housekeeper is ridiculous. It’s like equating a baby sitter with a brick mason.

Hannah-Beth Jackson’s bill puts the onus on a new enforcement agency to determine what is and is not “equal.” So far, the culture and economy have done that quite well. If a housekeeper wants to make more money, he or she can get a better-paying job at a different company or in a different profession. That

Peaker Plant Plight

S

outhern California Edison (SCE) is proposing to refurbish the Ellwood “peaker plant,” situated less than 1,000 feet from Ellwood Elementary and amid residential tracts. The plant houses two gas-fired jet-engine turbines that emit excessive carbon pollution and cancer-causing fine particulates. The plant is supposed to operate only when demand exceeds SCE’s capacity, but residents nearby report it also runs at night.

SCE has another problem with its aging towers in the foothills. Should one topple in a natural disaster, it would take months to replace due to the remote, mountainous terrain. The Ellwood plant would then become our primary source of electricity and run 24/7.

Refurbishing the plant means we would be stuck with this outmoded, fossil-fuel-burning, polluting technology for the next 30 years. Local organizations are advocating that SCE partner with government to invest in clean, renewable electricity instead. As a 13-year resident of Ellwood, I favor “Santa Barbara Resilient, Reliable, Renewable,” a plan to supply locally generated electricity and create jobs installing and maintaining solar panels and battery storage systems — John E. Douglas, Goleta in microgrids.

I

f anything good comes out of the maddening, bogus “debate” about climate change, perhaps it will be that Republicans are finally identified as the party of stupid. While this is certainly not the only such indicator, listening to an idiot like Senator Jim Inhofe pontificate about global warming being a huge hoax would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic given his prominent Senate role as chair of the environment committee. He’s not alone, but the Republican leadership must bear responsibility for putting him in this position.

Regarding the lunacy of the climate deniers insisting that the current data is not conclusive, I urge you to see Merchants of Doubt. I think it is the perfect com-

panion to An Inconvenient Truth, which presented the science; this second one cuts through the propaganda attempting to obfuscate that science. Merchant presents a brilliant history of how corporate America has misled the public and the politicians for over 50 years, beginning with the debate about tobacco.

Recycled and Green

W

e’d been driving on campus for AYSO games and noted the greenness of UCSB lawns. We asked the U, what water savings if lawns were let to go brown? Water efficiency manager Matthew R. O’Carroll answered fully, and this is just a part: “UCSB has made it a priority to reduce water consumption since the early ’90s. Despite campus growth, UCSB reduced its potable water consumption by half since ’96; within the last three years, potable water consumption is down 30 percent. A student living on campus uses approximately 20 gallons per day, while Goleta Water District shows residents use around 60.

UCSB’s potable water consumption accounts for less than 10 percent of Goleta Water District water.

“It is very important to note that recycled water is entirely different than potable water and most importantly is an unstressed source of water. Goleta Sanitary District produces 3,000 acre-feet/year of recycled water. UCSB and Glen Annie Golf course are the largest users, and together we use less than onethird of the supply. As UCSB has used recycled water on most landscaping, potable water consumption now accounts for one percent of our total water use.

“The UC has a goal to reduce potable water consumption 20 percent by 2020, which UCSB met in 2012. Our new water goal is to reduce potable water consumption 12 percent by March 1, 2016. UCSB is the only college/university in California to announce — Susan Lawton and Darryl York, such a goal.”

At 56, Woody looks back at the time when no one would hire him to when he worked from dawn to sundown just to satisfy those Montecito car owners, to when he was turning away up to 15 cars a day.

very r year, The Santa Barbara Independent puts its ear to the ground to hear the newest and best acts of ry Santa Barbara’s music scene, and boy did we like what we heard this year. From folk to flute, this issue’s roundup features a mix of strong soloists and exciting group acts, and some of the artists have already garnered worldwide acclaim. Whether in their entrepreneurial spirit, their precocious talent, or their sheer ability to rock, what these acts all have in common is an uncanny eye- and ear-catching quality, all with the inviting spotlight shine that comes with being up-and-coming and on the rise. So while fame, fortune, and other factors may draw these acts to bigger cities in only a matter of time, for now we are proud to showcase these homegrown artists in their current state as flag-bearers of new Santa Barbara County sounds.

AzEEm mW WArd C “

heeky Nandos” is apparently a U.K. flame-

grilled-peri-peri-chicken restaurant turned pop-catchphrase describing the greatest thing you can have. Internet meme— and UCSB student— flute sensation Azeem Ward has become student a musical metaphor of the Cheeky Nandos and has launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to help fund his U.K. tour with music collaborator Timmy Linetsky, aka DJ Underbelly. The pair raised more than $3,000 for tour expenses, including airfare, transportation, and accommodations, for the Azeem X Underbelly tour and is currently performing at various U.K. universities, including University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and Leeds College of Music, Oxford, as well as in Manchester, Bath, London, Liverpool, Nottingham, Birmingham, Durham, Bristol, and Cambridge.

Linetsky, a third-year UCSB film student, approached Ward after an open-mike-night display of his flute beat-boxing. Jamming together ever since, the duo has established a unique mix of jazz, hip-hop, and trap, with DJ Underbelly providing the beats and Ward improvising on top of them. Their set consists of about 50 percent covers and 50 percent original material, and they play either chilledout, jazzy hip-hop for traditional music venues or more upbeat hip-hop trap for club venues.

They made their first music video, which was featured on KEYT, in the Pardall Tunnel, which links Isla Vista to UCSB. Gaining momentum, they decided to reach out to presidents and event managers at student unions in Great Britain and were able to book gigs for many a university welcome-back week, known as Freshers. Their U.K. fans have been appreciative and supportive, always taking selfies with Ward. Check out their music video collaborations with U.K. artists on YouTube. — Gustavo Uribe

risy Watt is a nonstop adventurer. The outdoorsy folk singer and

Cabin by the Sea series founder came westward as a teen to attend UCSB in a horizon-broadening move to look beyond the river rope swings and Smoky Mountains of her Tennessee youth. Though she arrived a stranger, Watt quickly found a new home and purpose in the surf, sand, and skies of Santa Barbara. It’s here she first discovered her songwriting abilities and made her debut at a UCSB open-mike night as a freshman. “I thought, No one knows me, so I’m gonna give it a go,” said the former dancer, who took up guitar at 17 after too many injuries.

Her daring spirit led to her hosting a regular open-mike night, and last year, while completing her environmental studies degree, Watt pioneered a whole new SOhO concert series: Cabin by the Sea, which has hosted acts like Mångo Mångo, The Dustbowl Revival, and the T Sisters. For each concert, SOhO is festooned with cabin coziness, and the proceeds of each show go toward a different area environmental nonprofit. Watt was inspired to found the series by her love of the land. “My day would be to wake up, jump in the ocean first thing, make an amazing breakfast, then go trail running or camping in the mountains at night. I’m never not grateful for it,” she said.

When not singing or fundraising for world betterment through music, Watt can be found digging in the dirt and teaching kids at Fairview Gardens or promoting access to green transportation for the Coalition for Sustainable Transportation (COAST). Who knows how far her adventurous spirit will take her next? But for now, Watt seems quite happily — Richie DeMaria situated in her newly made home by the sea.

ooking to follow in the footsteps of established reggae bands Iration and Rebelution,

The Olés have emerged from Isla Vista as a genre hybrid, ready to take the West Coast by storm. Led by cofounders Matt Tweed (lead vocals) and Cole Leksan (lead guitar), the band is on the verge of releasing its second full-length album, Strictly Speaking Speaking, the follow-up to 2012’s Sabado Sessions.

Composed mostly of former Gauchos, the band identifies strongly with the UCSB community, which is where it drew the inspiration for its name. “It is great to hear the [UCSB] olé chant at sporting events because the word is always being used to show support for our squad,” said Leksan. “Similarly, when we can get the crowd chanting ‘olé’ at our shows, it is always an awesome experience.”

Having established a dedicated following in the Santa Barbara area, the band is hopeful that it can schedule a tour to promote its style and sound in other parts of the state and country.“Right now we are in the process of looking for a band who is touring the whole U.S. and opening for them,” said Leksan. “It would be amazing to have our shot at playing music around the country. We are ready to travel and play music anywhere and everywhere, on big stages and at small bars.”

With a wealth of talent at their disposal and high-energy live shows, expect for The Olés — Austin Murphy to cash in on their early exposure before long.

Barbara County’s ears first perked up to the sound of Buellton teen Dylan Ortega, age 16, when he competed in Santa Barbara’s Teen Star, but he’s distancing himself from the competitive circuit now.

“Everybody was phenomenal, and I really don’t think that it’s appropriate to name one person as Santa Barbara’s one star when there’s such a wide range of talent with every genre,” he said.

Get to know Ortega, and it’s clear his humility and grace are of a caliber uncommon for teens. His father raised him until a fatal heart attack struck while the two vacationed in Wyoming, when the 13-year-old Ortega had to drive his father to a hospital. The tragedy forced the Santa Ynez native into an early maturity, but it’s that old soul, channeled through a voice of gold, which helps make Ortega so appealing.

Not swayed by the pickup-truck-and-girls lyrical trends of modern country, Ortega and his band hark back to the sounds of yesteryear.“The older country resonates with me more.

It tells a story,” he said. He upholds courtesy and mutual respect as some of his chief values and feels that respect shared between neighbors and strangers has been largely lost to the anta

Ortega does have his sights set on the big stages of Nashville someday, but for now he is feeling “really lucky” to have a great band to work with — they are currently writing their next single and hope to play in a few county fairs and festivals in the upcoming year. Though Ortega has already had greater setbacks and challenges than most his age, the future looks bright for the big-hearted boy from Buellton and his band.

SUN, NOV 8 / 3 PM / UCSB CAMPBELL HALL $16 / $12 children (12 & under)

he Santa Barbara music scene recently gained a stronger foundation with the addi-

tion of Layovr. Its unique version of reggae, pop, and rock that they call “trop rock” refreshes the senses with classic reggae roots sprinkled with “’80s rock shredding,” according to the band’s drummer, Evan Monroe. Songs featuring dueling guitar and saxophone solos, spacey keyboard synths, and an in-the-pocket percussion section entertain the brain and leave the audience with big grins.

The quartet is made up of Kevin Harvey (guitar and vocals), Thomas Semow (bass), Joe Farey (keyboards and saxophone), and Monroe. Layovr likens their reggae influence to that of The Police, who often used reggae rhythms in their songs, but don’t consider themselves as solely a reggae or rock band but rather something in between.

Formerly, the band performed as the Advanced Jazz Combo at UCSB and as members of the popular UCSB band The Fire Department. However, recently the band went through a metamorphosis, ditching a style that catered to the Isla Vista party scene while keeping its tight sound and energetic showmanship.“[The Fire Department] was just a total party band — full horn section, three singers—and it was just for fun, and it was hard to move up and be more professional,” said Farey.

Layovr’s new single “Dusk ’Til Dawn,” which is slated for release October 19, features Harvey on vocals, which is something new for the band.“We’re all instrumentalists first, so this [song] is kind of our first crack at that. We’ve been recording a lot, and that experience … has made me much more comfortable as a singer,” said Harvey. Layovr will be playing several shows around town in the near future, so look out for this band that is “bridging the —RD gap between indie rock and reggae,” said Semow.

wo years ago, The Blues and Greys made their debut at Muddy Waters, the recently shuttered coffeehouse. Composed of core members Lindsey Waldon (vocals), Joey McDermott (drums), Zach Wallace (synth), Michael Million (bass and vocals), and two “silent partners,” Thom Flowers and Jon Miller on guitars, The Blues and Greys have already proved to be a band on the rise. Last May, for example, they opened for indie folk-pop band Of Monsters and Men and shared the Bowl stage with other renowned artists, including Banks, Walk the Moon, and Family of the Year. Since their Bowl appearance, they have headlined their first show at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club along with L.A.-based band Hunny and have recorded with producer Eric Palmquist at Infrasonic Sound. By day the band members are working their music-based jobs at Seymour Duncan, S.B. Middle School, and Girls Rock S.B., but by night, they are practicing “in a tiny

room with no air conditioning, just jamming,” said McDermott.

Drawing influences from romance, books, and relationships, the group’s new music, which it will premiere at its New Noise gig, “goes a lot deeper and darker,” explained Waldon. “It has a drive that isn’t shown so much on Bright Lights,” its debut EP released in 2013.

She said Bright Lights is “soft and hits the surface,” and it is nothing like what they’re working on now. The band’s new music can be compared to that of The Strokes and Interpol but with a twist. “We’re finally figuring out who we are as a band and our aesthetic,” Waldon said.

Having recently recorded a new song, “Black Spring,” these musicians are over-the-top excited to share their art and to perform what they’ve been rehearsing and polishing. Be on the lookout as they bring their dark music with easy-to-listen-to tones and soft lyrics to a — Ginny Chung venue near you.

rAndALL SEnA o cannot speak of a Lompoc music scene without mention of Randall Sena. Though the Goletaborn Sena has always felt like a bit of a foreigner in Lompoc, where he has lived since the 2nd grade, he has certainly made it his own.

Known as the go-to music man in his town, Sena is the cofounder of Certain Sparks Music, a Lompoc music-lesson and recording-studio hub founded in 2006 with friend Brandon Bridge. Since it opened, Certain Sparks has been a high-gravity body around which the Central Coast’s musicians revolve — Dante Elephante, Tall Tales and the Silver Lining, King Cole, and Royal Suns are among the bigger-named acts that have recorded there. “These days, I’m just setting up a situation for a band to sound their best, using my experience to keep things moving, and staying out of the way,” said Sena.

A modest man, Sena has a knack for humor and a bounty of kindness. There’s a reason some call him the Musical Mustafa.

“I try to be the dude I wish I would have met when I started making music,” he said.

Sena started writing music upon the urging of a friend in high school, who suggested Sena pen his own tunes after he learned to cover every Nirvana song. This year, he released A Form of Prayer, an absolutely beautiful collection of dramatic power-pop and thoughtful soft rock. It’s a stirring record fit for Cat Power to some day cover, meant for nocturnal

listening. “I like to walk around Lompoc very late at night, and I’ve never seen another person walking around when I do. That gives you an idea of the kind of solitude that leads to an album like mine,” Sena said.

Though Sena may be in a state of relative solitude, a songwriter this strong will not go unrecognized for — RD too long.

mE & dinoSAur i the members of Me & Dinosaur could time travel, they would go back to Rome in 300 bce.“I think the Romans would have great appreciation for indie-rock music,” said singer Sean McClure. There is, perhaps, something Roman in the music of Me & Dinosaur — in its brawny, workman-like, bluesrock heart and innovative twists on classic forms, as well as in its widespread allegiances. Like an empire, Me & Dinosaur has claimed the hearts of many in town; hear the group’s newest single, “Smile,” and it’s easy to understand why.

These live favorites bridle with true upand-coming energy, an already strong band sitting on untapped potential.

Me & Dinosaur is composed of McClure (lead vocalist/guitarist), Erich Tomkinson (keyboardist/vocalist), Cole Baviera (guitarist/vocalist), Sean Renken (bassist), and Kris Pitzek (drummer), forming during their UCSB years when they all shared a house together. With bands like Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, Dr. Dog, and The Band constantly rotating on the record player, the five-piece built a sound saturated in the tradition of some of classic and indie rock’s strongest acts. No wonder, even with only an EP to its name, the band already sounds so polished and professional. This was due in part to the assistance of Elliott Lanam at Hidden City Studios, who helped with the EP’s recording.

Santa Barbara Premiere

Never Givin’ Up delivers contrasting threads of strength, love, reason and outrage to the stage and shares the potency – and timeliness – of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s seminal text, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.”

Since it sold out its EP-release event, the band has been booking more shows, enjoying craft beer, and “continuing to play the music we want on our own terms,” said McClure. When pressed to identify with dinosaurs, here is what the bandmates chose: McClure, an ankylosaurus; Renken, Spike from The Land Before Time; Baviera, a T. rex; Tomkinson, a prehistoric bird; and Pitzek, a different kind of dinosaur, the septuagenarian Bernie Sanders. Here’s hoping extinction is far off for this just-gettingstarted band. May they reign long and mightily.

Drawing upon past and current cases, he will also examine the issue of hate crimes and the need to teach tolerance, love and respect for one another.

Dees co-founded the Southern Poverty Law Center in 1971 to handle lawsuits involving civil rights violations, domestic terrorism, and hatemotivated crimes. Since then the Center has successfully battled and dismantled a series of hate groups, including the Aryan Nation and Ku Klux Klan, and has secured huge criminal, civil, and financial judgments against them.

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!

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!

he Sierra Nevada may get all the headlines and tourist traf traffic, but just to its east lies an absolute gem of California’s storied ecology: the White Mountains, a slowrising, chaparral-studded range that bookends the eastern Owens Valley.

Remote, seldom traveled, and notoriously dry, this range—home to one of the 39 locations in the University of California’s Natural Reserve System, now celebrating its 50th anniversary—is among the best in the west for stargazing and home to several CELEBRATE RESERVES: UCLA’s White Mountains are just one of groves of bristlecone pine trees, the the UC-run reserves, which are being fêted by UCSB this month. oldest known trees on the planet.

or me, it was the absolute silence. No chatter, traffic, or texts — just onshore breezes softly whishing past me and my wing. I savored that fleeting solitude of my first time in the air as a still Hendry’s Beach glinted in the distance and rolling Elings Park turf stretched below. But I was more than thankful when my walkie-talkie crackled to life to steer me back on course. “Turn to the right a bit. …

There ya go. … Good. … Now keep that line. … And enjoy yourself up there.”

Paragliding two springs ago ranks among my top adventures, and though I haven’t flown much since, I think about that day a lot, especially when a neon canopy in the sky catches my eye. So for rookies like me to seasoned soaring vets, the upcoming USHPA Free Flight Film Festival promises another dose of good memories from above.

Hosted for the first time by the Santa Barbara Soaring Association (SBSA), the October 10 film fest, which travels around the country, will feature six handpicked movies that showcase the best of what hang gliding and paragliding have to offer. “There’s something for everyone,” said SBSA leader Rob Sporrer.

There’s a film about pilots who “sky-camp” across Utah and Wyoming, one about a nonprofit that raises funds for third-world communities where they fly, and another that features eye-popping footage of Big Sur captured by the fancy Cineflex camera system. “There’s so much footage that will just open the world up to people who haven’t seen it like this before,” said Sporrer.

Thanks to the prime training hill at Elings, Sporrer and his friends are constantly welcoming new fliers, but Santa Barbara is also home to the handful of guys who started hang gliding in the 1970s, with nicknames like Lil’ John, Hammer, and Sundowner.“They’re still out there, setting the margin,” said Sporrer, who also explained that gliders come from all over the country in the winter months to take advantage of the South Coast climate.

The film fest is free, but organizers are requesting donations to help paraglider Krysten Pratt King, a Fillmore resident and frequent Santa Barbara flier who recently suffered a series of devastating medical emergencies. She’s on the mend with a new heart and prosthetic leg and wants to get back in the air, said Sporrer.“She wants to get that part of her life back.”

Is it true my oral health can affect my overall health?

Yes! There are more and more studies that show a correlation between periodontal disease and an increased risk for diabetes, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and stroke. Up to 90% of systemic diseases can have oral manifestations.

One of main reasons behind this is thought to be a chronic inflammation in your body, which can begin with gum disease in your mouth. Pathogenic bacteria from your mouth can enter your blood stream and travel throughout your body. Periodontal bacteria has been found in the plaque and arteries of heart patients.

It has even been shown that bacteria from your mouth can be aspirated into your lungs, which can result in upper respiratory problems and pneumonia.

in Cuba

es, you can legally travel to Cuba. The Carib-

bean country was “opened” by President Barack Obama’s 2011 decree. I have been there twice since, once by boat in 2013 and last year by plane.

There are 12 different “general licenses” you can get to clear the United States’ red tape and legally visit Cuba. People to People is popular for those who can afford a $3,000 price tag and be on a tour, but I chose the religious license. You do not even have to be religious to qualify — just download the form and have a priest, rabbi, imam, reverend, nun, or other religious person sign it.

Now book a trip to Cancún, Mexico, CUBAN FUN: The author rolland arrange a conerblades near Havana, and a nection to “Habana” horse-drawn carriage reflects the older style of Cuba. with Aeroméxico or Cubana. From Los Angeles, I paid a little over $800 for all airfare. You’ll also need a $25 visa at the airport, and this slip of paper is put into your passport for the duration of your stay. When you leave the country, Cuban Customs will take the paper visa out, so there is no record of your visit.

With the embargo still in place, you need to be selfsufficient. You will not be able use your credit or debit card (though that may change soon) or checking account, and your cell phone won’t work, either. So bring lots of cash, prepare to buy prepaid phone cards for local and international calls, and search out “telepuntos” if you need the Internet, which costs about $6 per hour.

There are two monetary systems in Cuba: the CUCs (convertible currency) for the tourist (which is 89 CUCs for a $100 bill), or the national peso, which is the local currency. I was able to get 24 nationals for one CUC. But you will need the CUCs for any tourist place, so don’t exchange them all!

Havana can be very inexpensive if you want to be frugal.

Avoid the big hotels, tourist restaurants, bars, or any place Hemingway ever visited. Other restaurants may charge a buck for a beer and five bucks for a plate of food. But when I converted some CUCs to nationals, I spent a nickel on a big egg sandwich and 15 cents for a big plate of food.

I was able to find good lodging at a “casa particular,” which is a family-run guest house, for $15-$35 a night. I paid $25 at one place on a second floor with an uninterrupted view of seven miles of coastline west of Havana.

Clearly, the time to visit Cuba is now, before the sight of U.S. business blight and increased tourism ruins the charm and increases the prices. Make sure to have a Cristal Cerveza or try a rum-based mojito. ¡Salud!

Stone Roshell:

Lessons Learned from the Pit

I

t was the second night of the school play. The show was called Crazy for You, a collection of jazzy Gershwin tunes, and I was on drums. I was ready. There was only one problem: I felt sick.

Somewhere in the acidic underbelly of my fleshy bits, my BBQ ribs from lunch churned a little. I excused it as nothing and strode over to my flashy drum set in the orchestra pit as the lights dimmed for the beginning of the show. I sat down and felt a little wave of nausea again.

I turned to my orchestra buddy and whispered, “Bro, I feel kinda sick.” He whispered back, “You’d better not throw up on me, man,” and the show began.

I don’t mean to flip my own sticks, but the first act was great, both up onstage and down in the pit. It was like I was a drumming Buddha. But as the house lights brightened for intermission, my nausea was overwhelming.

I found my dad in the audience and blurted, “I’m feeling really sick.” He dashed to the drugstore across the street and brought me Pepto-Bismol. If you’ve never tried Pepto, imagine that someone took gum off the bottom of every subway handrail on earth and smelted it down in a boiling vat of broken dreams and slapped a cheery pink label on it. It should speak to just how nauseated I was that I chugged that stuff like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would a protein shake. As the lights dimmed for Act II, my band director slid a wastebasket beside my drum set …“just in case.”

I had never been scared while

by Stone playing drums before; I had performed in front of crowds hundreds strong dozens of times. Yet I was genuinely worried I would ruin email: starshine@roshell.com the show by vomiting everywhere and letting my dad, the orchestra, the actors, and the entire audience down. I felt out of control.

The Pepto was more useless than Benedict Arnold was to the Revolutionary Army, and (spoiler alert) it ended up stabbing me in the back just like Arnold. The contents of my stomach had started a revolution, and the BBQ ribs were General Washington riding through my intestines on a corn-bread steed. The Pepto soon defected and joined the revolt, making me sicker than before I drank it. Vomit was imminent. The only question was how long I could hold it off.

The answer: until the absolute quietest, most meaningful moment of the play, as beautiful flapper girls sang “Nice Work If You Can Get It.” I snatched up the trash can and threw up into it.

In my mind, the audience was staring at me, the spotlight operators had swung their lights over to shine on me, and a small village somewhere in Kenya shook a little with the resonating sound of my vomit.

In reality, though, only the two people closest to me in the orchestra noticed — because I kept the drumbeat going the whole time with my feet. Then I set down the wastebasket, picked up my sticks, and found my place in the sheet music again.

After the show, I stumbled to the car but couldn’t avoid all the orchestra members and the show’s director — who surprised me by telling me how “rock and roll” that was. I had expected to be ridiculed and called “barf boy” for the rest of my high school days. Instead, I became known not as the kid who threw up during the school play, but as the kid who threw up and kept playing.

At the end of the year, I was honored by my band director in front of 300 parents and students and received the school’s prestigious Orchestra Award. My name is engraved on a plaque that hangs in the band room for future students to see.

While we all hope things go as planned, it’s the times when things go completely unexpectedly that make us who we are. Yes, I threw up in a trash bucket in front of an audience, but in exchange for the embarrassment, I got a great story, a reputation of resilience, and a lesson: When failure is imminent, don’t back down. Just keep on going. n Maybe in the end, that’s worth a little Pepto-Bismol.

Ice in Paradise Skates to Reality

Goleta Welcomes Santa Barbara Region’s First Ice Rink in Three Decades

F

by John Zant

dise. Then there were plans in paradise, fundraising in paradise, and construction in paradise. Now, finally, there is Ice in Paradise.

Two rinks on the floor of Ice in Paradise, the longawaited skating facility adjacent to Girsh Park in Goleta, received their first coats of ice this week.

Steve Heinze, a Santa Barbara resident and retired National Hockey League (NHL) player, watched the lines being painted on the NHL-sized (200 feet by 85 feet) main rink on Monday. “I’m getting heart palpitations,” he said.

A twist of an oft-quoted expression explains how this project came about: “If they come, it will be built.” People from colder climes who came to live in Santa Barbara while retaining their passion for ice hockey became prime movers in bringing Ice in Paradise to reality.

The 46,500-square-foot arena needs some finishing touches before the grand opening takes place in November, but it will have a full-fledged opening day on Saturday, October 10.

LOST AND FOUND: There was ice skating in Santa Barbara between 1975 and 1983 at the Ice Patch on Cliff Drive.

It struggled financially. The last owner kept it open so his daughter, a promising young figure skater, had a place to practice. After it closed, the building was sold and converted into office spaces.

Visions of an ice-skating facility in Goleta sprung up in 1997 when plans for the Camino Real Marketplace were approved. Developer Mark Linehan set aside 1.3 acres for the potential project. In 2010, he donated the land to the nonprofit Greater Santa Barbara Ice Skating Association (GSBISA).

In the meantime, Minneapolis native Jack Norqual and his wife, Gretchen, moved to Montecito. Norqual, a retired businessman, is a lifetime hockey player and a boardmember of the U.S.A. Hockey Foundation.“I skated on ponds,” he said. “I’d never lived in a place without a rink.” He got connected with the GSBISA. Besides being a major benefactor, he said, “I set out to meet people who could help us.”

He called on Ed Snider, another Montecito resident, the founder and owner of the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers. Snider

BlueBerries, Pinot noir, MulBerries, and More thrive at sandra newMan’s ForBidden Fruit FarMs near lo l MPoc

You can taste them with an appointment at the farm, or just head to Isabella Gourmet Foods on Figueroa Street in downtown Santa Barbara, where Cebada wines are poured upstairs and Newman’s jams, teas, and other products are also sold. To get the most bang out of your $10, try them during Thursday and Friday’s Classy Hour, when sips come with small food pairings from 4-6 p.m.

Newman also makes a blueberry wine, further evidence that those tiny berries remain the core strength of Forbidden Fruit Orchards. She’s currently tending to bidding wars over the recent harvest, since her bushes reach their prime when the market is most desperate. “We hit a really nice window,” she said, “because Chile is not in and the northern hemisphere is done.”

It’s certainly not a stress-free existence, and with so many fruits in the air, Newman admits that “sometimes you just have crazy days.” But she’s happy with her 100 acres of sand and the evolving cornucopia of trees, vines, and shrubs. “I just love farming,” said Newman. “I love being able to grow and pick the fruit. It’s just a passion.”

Its website, ilikeikesplace.com, describes the business this way: “Ike’s Place first opened its door on Halloween of 2007. The man behind the sandwich, Ike Shehadeh, always puts his customers’ happiness first. That is what sets Ike’s Place aside from the rest. When you come to Ike’s Place it is our goal to make you feel like the unique individual that you are. If that isn’t enough to set us aside, did I mention that the bread is baked fresh to order? And our soon to be patented ‘Ike’s Dirty Secret Sauce’ is spread on every sandwich and baked right in the bread, and another layer is spread on afterwards to give it that extra flavor.”

BAKERY COMING TO FUNK ZONE: This just

in from reader Jonathan: “Hello. I was in The Wine Collective [131 Anacapa Street] yesterday.

The space has been split in half. According to the employees, the other half is going to be a cheese and bakery shop. It doesn’t look like it will be opening any time soon.”

STARBUCKS REOPENS: Reader Carol tells me that Starbucks on the Mesa is open. Several readers had previously passed word via this column that the business was being remodeled.

LAS BRASAS CLOSES: Las Brasas Mexican Grill

at 5915-B Calle Real in Goleta has closed. Rumor has it that it may become a Chinese restaurant, which is funny because until August 2009, that address was the home of Fortune Garden.

THE INN CROWD RETURNS: Season six of

The Inn Crowd food and wine television show has returned to KEYT Channel 3 on Saturday nights at 9:30 p.m. and also at tv.newspress.com.

Starring Chef Michael Hutchings, The Inn Crowd features new culinary delights, along with a special celebrity guest each week. In addition to learning new dishes, The Inn Crowd audience will be shown the relationship between food and wine and suggested wine parings to enhance the dining experience.

EXTENDED HOURS: Lilac Patisserie at 1017

State Street is now serving breakfast 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and lunch 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Lilac Patisserie closes at 7 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday and at 8 p.m. FridaySunday. Visit lilacpatisserie.com.

WINGS CLOSES: Reader Suzette shares some Noleta news: “Wings Chinese restaurant at the corner of Hollister and Nogal is closed. Cardboard is covering the windows. I heard that the owners wanted to retire and no one else in the family wanted to run it. I remember when it opened around 1978 or so. We lived on Cuna, right around the corner.”

eader Cris tells me that a sign for Lucky Dragon has popped up in the Kmart Shopping Center next to Sam’s To Go. The address is 6831 Hollister Avenue, Suite B, Goleta. I live in the area, and for as long as I can remember, Ming Dynasty, at the other end of the parking lot, has been the only Chinese restaurant in this neck of the Good Land, so I look forward to trying it.

BRASIL ARTS CAFÉ ASKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT: Brasil Arts Café at 1230-C State Street is

facing tough times and asked me to share this message with you: “Brasil Arts Café has been serving the highest quality authentic home cooked Brazilian food, drinks and açai bowls on State Street for two wonderful years and despite enormous customer loyalty faces possible closure. So many restaurants and small music venues have been closing, and the Brasil Arts Café is struggling with many of the same difficult conditions.

Owners Daniel and Jennifer Yoshimi have been amazed at how many Santa Barbara residents have rallied over the last few weeks by coming out to try fresh new specials, discounts, and rent rally events, hoping to help this unique Brazilian establishment stay open. The Brasil Arts Café is not only Santa Barbara’s only Brazilian restaurant, it is a hub for the arts and one of the last few small alternative musical and performance venues in Santa Barbara.”

Truly quite hidden and truly a gem, the Book Ends Café serves a steady line of mostly grad students and faculty on the second floor of Antioch University in downtown Santa Barbara, right atop the corner of Cota and Anacapa streets. The menu is manageably tight but packed with gourmet goodness, and this sandwich of slow-roasted brisket, pickled carrots and radishes, cilantro, smoked aioli, and jalapeño vinaigrette is the hands-down highlight: fresh, savory, healthy, and not heavy at all. And half is plenty, so for $10, order that with half a deli salad, which changes frequently but usually features greens mixed with some legume, grains, and tangy fruit. Not feeling beef? The pickled beets sandwich with feta cheese, Kalamata olives, market lettuce, and smoked aioli is a great veggie option, and the chicken salad, with peas, yogurt, chives, and parsley dressing is equally awesome. 602 Anacapa St., 963-3222, bookendscafe.net.

Sesame-Crusted Ahi with Pickled Fennel Need a quick, easy way to make a good first impression on houseguests with a dazzling appetizer course that can be done ahead of time? Buy about a pound of sashimi-grade ahi (Goleta’s Nikka Fish Market almost always has it), trim to steaks about 3/4 inches thick, douse in a teriyaki-lemongrass-paste-sesame-oil sauce, and then crust the soaked steaks with a mix of black and white sesame seeds. Get a cast iron pan quite hot with a sesame-canola oil mix, sear each piece for only about a minute per side, and rest on a wire rack. Once cool enough, wrap in plastic wrap, put in the fridge to chill, and then make a dipping sauce of teriyaki, sesame oil, fish sauce, wasabi, sriracha, and more lemongrass paste. Before guests arrive, pull from fridge, slice carefully, and organize on a plate. Garnish with pickled fennel and dots of wasabi and lemongrass, and serve with the spicy-sweet dipping sauce. — MK

FORCE YOURSELF TO RELAX

Sip This

Standing Sun Wine Art Music Sky Rocket Syrah 2012: Welcome to a special project — a select syrah from Rodney’s Vineyard chosen by Standing Sun winemaker John Wright, artist Felipe Molina, and Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz — that you can purchase in a new special place: The Bodega, the original wine cellar of Casa de la Guerra in the historic heart of downtown Santa Barbara.

Each bottle of the wine, which features Molina’s enchanting artwork on the label, is hand-signed by the threesome and also utterly delicious.

It starts with vanilla on the nose, runs through a full-mouthed bramble of blackberry on the palate, and then leaves with a slightly cocoa finish.

Wright was a preservation architect before becoming a winemaker at his facility in Buellton, where he frequently hosts nationally touring musical acts, including Roem Baur and Dan Rodriguez on October 13. He couldn’t have asked for a better tasting room in Santa Barbara than the rustic, adobe-walled Bodega. It’s like sipping with the city’s founding ghosts.

CORNell HigHer trutH

Chris Cornell’s newest single, “Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart,” ensnares you like a musical lasso, but it’s the strength of Higher Truth in its entirety that holds you tightly.

Cornell approached this album, stripped of heavy production, with the sensibility of a back-porch storyteller spinning yarns both sweet and salty. Gorgeous guitar fingerpicking laces the majority of the songs, with standouts including “Murder of Blue Skies” and the stunning “Worried Moon.” It’s difficult to parse out which of the 16 titles on the album deserve special praise, as every song on Higher Truth is compelling. For this go out, Cornell has created an intimate aural space for listeners to settle in and get lost in the stories he tells. — Michelle Drown

iRATiON HOttiNg up

The Isla Vista–birthed band just released its latest album, Hotting Up, in August. An accompaniment of keyboards, a laid-back beat, and youthful lyrics creates a relaxed vibe for which Iration is known. However, unlike on previous albums, Hotting Up’s sound is more a blend of reggae and punk, with stronger vocals and guitar. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a beach campfire or a late night at the skate park. Standout tracks include “Reelin,” “Midnight,” and “Guns Out.” — Arianna Irwin

Rosemarie Gebhard was awarded first prize for “On the Road Again & Again”

Top of the Heap When artists and eco-warriors converge on Saturday, October 10, at Art From Scrap, Explore Ecology’s outpost on East Cota Street, they will be celebrating both the organization’s pioneering efforts on behalf of environmental education and one of our city’s most characteristic indigenous art forms: assemblage. On September 23, a highly qualified judging panel that included Jeremy Tessmer, Nathan Vonk, Greg Corso, and Kerry Methner met at the upstairs gallery to sort through more than 60 entries in this year’s edition of the Explore Ecology’s annual contest for mixed-media art. The show’s title, Lost in Scrap, refers to maps, which provide the theme of the 2015 event. Contributors were asked to submit only assemblage works that contained or created some kind of map.

Rosemarie Gebhard was awarded first prize for “On the Road Again & Again.” Second prize went to Sharon Nigh for “Map to Yosemite,” and third prize went to Joyce Wilson for “The Oldest City.” “Assemblage is such an important tradition in Santa Barbara, going all the way back to the 1950s,” said Tessmer of Sullivan Goss, an American Gallery. “ Seeing the latest works and hearing what the other judges thought was both a lot of fun and really interesting as a curator.”

All the works submitted, including several more which were cited with Honorable Mentions, remain on view and will be up for auction until the event on October 10. The evening’s silent auction will also have other items available for bids, such as dinners at top area restaurants, trips to Sayulita, Mexico, and Santa Cruz Island, and even a brood of baby chicks. For more information, contact Art From Scrap at 884-0459 x13.

n many ways Twyla Tharp is the quintessential New York City artist.

Having begun her career as a “downtown” figure in terms of audience and context, she proceeded to blast through every boundary, conquering Lincoln Center, the movies, television, and Broadway, all without losing her hard-earned reputation for intellectual rigor The same urge and fierce iconoclasm. She taught America to love ballet again at a moment when the pivotal advances of George Balanchine began to wane toward the ideal that’s in the popular consciousness. Perhaps most importantly, she opened the evident in Tharp’s attivocabulary of classical ballet to the gestures and stances of modern life, tude toward “The One incorporating movement from sports, social dance, and the street into Hundreds” gets reflected in distinctly contrasting ways in what had been a guarded and self-referential domain.

The 45-minute “Preludes and “Preludes and Fugues” as her Fugues” is a tour de force of choreographic invention set to selections from vision of “the world as it should J. S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier. The darkly comic “Yowzie” uses the be” and “Yowzie” as the world rhythms and melodies of early jazz to advance a distinctively humorous “as it is.” The inspiration for “Preaesthetic influenced by silent film and cartoons.

Chris Hardwick

AND THE JOkes keeP COMinG

eek one of the S.B. LOL Comedy Festival started Thursday, October 8, and lasts all weekend long.

You got the inside scoop on three renowned comedians (Kira Soltanovich, Brad Williams, and Eric Schwartz), and now it’s time for a sneak peek with some of next week’s headliners: Cheech Marin, Chris Hardwick, and Andy Daly.

CheeCh Marin The use of humor to shift human perception is its highest function. Cheech Marin, who got his start as part of the Grammy Award–winning comedy duo Cheech and Chong, understands how to use comedy for the highest good—because, of course, he’s in favor of occasionally getting high—that is,“as long as it’s legal,” he told me recently in a phone interview. Cheech and Chong’s classic film Up in Smoke invented the genre “stoner comedy,” and its influence still permeates the film industry today. Now, the legend himself is on his way to the LOL Festival to host Legally Brown Tu/2.0 at the Arlington Theatre on Friday, October 16, at 8 p.m.

Up in Smoke grossed more than $100 million when it was released in 1978, and Cheech and Chong created an electric popularity with hippies and the youth. Marin shared his thoughts on the current relaxation on marijuana laws in California: “[The police] just don’t have the time to deal with it anymore, because it’s not a big crime and the number of people is so large now.” In addition to advocating for legalization, Marin acts as a godfather to Chicano comedians, many of whom will be at Legally Brown Tu/2.0.“It’s a voice that needs to be heard, and these guys are funny,” he said. “And what better way [to promote them] than to put a bunch of them onstage and to get all sides of the Latino experience, and that’s the mainstream experience now at this point,” Marin said.

But still one question remains: Where is Chong? Recently, Cheech and Chong toured the country for their Get It Legal

tour, but it had to be cut short because Chong was diagnosed with cancer. “It looks like he’s going to be okay; he’s fighting it really well,” Marin said.

—Ryan Mandell

andy daly In the funny business since the early ’90s, Andy Daly is a seasoned comedian. He is currently best known for his role in Comedy Central’s Review as writer and main character Forrest MacNeil. “On the show, I play a life reviewer who reviews life experiences, no matter what it is,” he explained.“What is it like to be a cult leader? What is it like to kill somebody? Forrest will go do it, come back to the office, and rate the experience from one to five.” In addition to being on television series such as Eastbound & Down, playing Teddy Roosevelt on Comedy Central’s Drunk History, and featured in movies such as Semi-Pro, Daly can be heard on various podcasts where he introduces different characters — a sneak peek into his Santa Barbara show.

Daly’s comedy shows are unlike the ones you’ll see during the rest of the festival.

Rather than one-liners and jokes, he will perform different character monologues, first originated in his podcasts. You can surely expect appearances by Cowboy Dalton Wilcox and Theat Theatrical Director Don DiMello. Oh, and be ready for some costume changes. “I try to keep the costumes as simple as possible.

There’s no artifice; I change onstage,” he said. The many characters he personifies come from random places. “I went to an equestrian show, and a guy in a cowboy hat came out and put on a routine. I had to learn more about him. Turns out, his name is Baxter Black, nation’s most famous cowboy poet,” he continued. Although he can’t fully explain where the humor comes from, it works.

Daly doesn’t like to travel much, and so doesn’t perform very often, so don’t miss this chance to see him. Excited for his family trip to Santa Barbara, he concluded and warned, “I’ve got two young daughters, and they will be nowhere near the venue where I’m performing.” — Ginny Chung

FINAL WEEKEND

Chris hardWiCk Whether it’s Nerdist Industries, @midnight with Chris Hardwick, voice-overs, stand-up comedy tours, or writing books, Chris Hardwick is always up to something. “Comedy is not something you do if it’s not in your blood, because then it’s just too time consuming,” he said recently in a phone interview.

Since he saw his first skit featuring Dean Martin, who was part of the 1946 comedy duo Martin and Lewis and host of The Dean Martin Show and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast Roast, Hardwick has been obsessed with comedy: “If I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t pursue it every weekend.”

He started performing stand-up in dorms during college and then graduated to comedy clubs. “[At that point] anything I did was not in clubs but coffeehouses, bars, laundromats—anywhere where I can get up in front of people.” And now? He’s initiated the nerd culture with a passion to understand things on a grand level.“Historically, these things involve science fiction, fantasy, imagination,” but a nerd doesn’t just like these things—it’s about how you engage with them. Hardwick founded the Nerdist Podcast Podcast, a comedy-based conversation series; collaborated with Peter Levin of GeekChicDaily and started Nerdist.com, an editorial, nerd culture news site; and hosts @midnight with Chris Hardwick, a comedy game show about social media with stand-up comics as contestants. “It’s sort of like a news show,” he said. “We pick up news and anything found online and express it through games.”

Hardwick enjoys talking with the audience, so he will incorporate a Q&A into the show for people questioning the nerd culture—or the TV show The Walking Dead. He won’t drop the f-bombs 50 times or come up with 100 euphemisms for genitals, but he will talk about embarrassing, and possibly filthy, life stories. Rating his stand-up show as TV-MA (Mature Audience Only), he said, “I wouldn’t bring a 9-yearold to the show, but I don’t think your ears will bleed if you’re a teenager.” As the last act of the LOL Comedy Festival, Hardwick’s set will leave S.B. in laughter until next year’s festival.

Chris Hardwick performs with Andy Daly at 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, at the Arlington Theatre.

The ancient tree of folk music will bear its musical fruit this weekend once again in Goleta for the 44th Annual Old Time Fiddlers’ Convention and Festival, when a star-studded lineup of folk, bluegrass, and Americana performers descend upon the Rancho La Patera & Stow House for a day of impromptu jamming, competitive fiddling and strumming, sing-alongs, and all manner of family-friendly activities. Founded in 1972 by renowned musician Peter Feldmann, the event, now run by the Goleta Valley Historical Society, has grown to be a community favorite in its reverence for skilled musicianship and good old-fashioned fun. This year’s lineup includes the talents of the Grammy Award–winning Kathy Kallick Band, as well as groups like Front Country, the Joe Sands Fontenot Cajun Creole Band, and area acts the Salt Martians and The Ventucky String Band, who kick off the festival the night before at the Goodland Hotel.

This year marks the first time the Ventucky String Band will be one of the featured acts at the festival, though their reputation precedes them as one of the premier bluegrass acts in the 805 since forming in 2010.You may have seen them before, either sharing a playbill with some of the biggest names in country and folk — Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, Asleep at the Wheel — or soundtracking a raucous wedding or birthday party. “We played a birthday party for a really sweet Russian ex-pat in San Fernando earlier this year,” Styles said of an epic party at which he and the band performed. “We had a blast, but I realized I’m a rookie when it comes to hanging with a Russian birthday party.”

The band released its newest album, The Band Plays On, this year.

The Ventucky String Band plays Saturday, October 10, at 6 p.m. at the Goodland Hotel, 5650 Calle Real, Goleta (all ages, free), and Sunday, October 11, 10:30 a.m., at the 44th Annual Old Time Fiddlers’ Convention and Festival at Rancho La Patera & Stow House, 304 North Los Carneros Road ($20 adults, $15 seniors, $5 students, free for kids). Call 681-7216 or visit goletahistory.org.

HOME RUN: Tommy Alexander, who returns to his hometown of Santa Barbara on Sunday, October 11, as an opener for Michael McDonald at the

Lobero Theatre, didn’t become a musician until he was 21. The originally stage-frightened youngster initially took to sports, growing so accomplished at bat that he was a draftee of the Atlanta Braves in 2005.

But the competitive world of baseball wasn’t for him, and Alexander found a much truer calling in the collaborative realm of creativity. He moved to Vermont in 2009, where he cofounded Jenke Arts, a community arts and education center with a calendar packed with donation-based classes. This year, he moved to Portland, Oregon, where the collaborations have continued. Alexander finds himself working with one of his musical heroes, M. Ward producer Mike Coykendall.

His debut solo album, Basement Soul, earned praise from the Huffington Post for being “downright mind-bending” and “strikingly truthful,” and certainly Alexander cuts right to the tender parts of the soul with his poignant lyrics and deep voice, which, like many greats, is tinged with a timeless melancholy.

“This journey has helped so much with my life, relationships, and an understanding in what dreams really are,” he said. He’s returning the favor, too: Sunday’s concert will benefit Youth Interactive, helping underserved youth realize their dreams, too.

Tommy Alexander plays with Michael McDonald and Ambrosia on Sunday, October 11, at 6 p.m. at the Lobero Theatre, 33 East Canon Perdido n Street ($75-$175). Call 963-0761 or visit lobero.com.

The Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UCSB

Yoram Peri The Second Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the Cultural War in Israel Sunday, October 18 / 3:00 p.m. / Free UCSB Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall

Twenty years after the tragic death of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Yoram Peri reflects upon his life as politician, statesman and general, his dedication to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, his leadership in signing the Oslo Accords, and his assassination by a right-wing Jewish extremist. Rabin’s deeply contested legacy – hero versus traitor – reflects the mounting cultural war between liberal, secular Israelis who place great emphasis on Western, democratic values and religious Israelis who believe that Torah and traditional values should guide everyday life.

Yoram Peri, former political advisor to the late Prime Minister, is the author or editor of Generals in the Cabinet Room: How the Military Shapes Israeli Policy, The Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, Between Battles and Ballots: Israel Military in Politics, Telepopulism: Media and Politics in Israel, and Brothers at War: Rabin’s Assassination and the Cultural War in Israel. He holds the Abraham S. and Jack Kay Chair in Israel Studies at the University Maryland at College Park.

Our Favorite Martian

Joe Morgenstern,

The Martian. Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, and Jeff Daniels star in a film written by Drew Goddard, based on the book by Andy Weir, and directed by Ridley Scott.

Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

Y

ou wait for The Martian to get gripping: The plot moves deliberately at first despite the action, and then zooms to the end with narrative jumps and fast-forwards. But suspense isn’t really the point. Unlike Gravity, 2013’s unrelenting stuck-in-space drama, The Martian feels more like a NASA procedural, more like Apollo 13, and it takes place on a number of never-dull planes at once, some of them astral and the others cosmically bureaucratic. In it, Matt Damon, who was a creepy space loner in Interstellar, plays accidentally marooned Mark Watney as a noble science-guy survivor with stalwart heavy breathing and knowing jokes spoken into a recording camera that can’t talk to Earth.

He’s often riveting (pun intended).

Meanwhile back on Earth, Space Administration honchos struggle awkwardly between a pseudomilitary self-image of commands and missions, boyish idealism about scientific exploration, and the political need to be funding-transparent in a media age. Jeff Daniels has a little too much starch in his acting chops but is nicely counterbalanced by the ubiquitous Kristen Wiig. The camera keeps consulting her after every bigboy argument.

LAST MAN ON MARS: The Martian stars Matt Damon as an astronaut accidentally marooned on Mars.

But the real fun happens on Hermes, the aptly named spacecraft with a chiseled, good-looking crew helmed

by Jessica Chastain, who keeps mulling and insisting on responsibility.

The film isn’t deep or groundbreaking in either storyline or look. If anything, Ridley Scott has rolled back his mannerisms. But it is thought-provoking; my family talked all the way home about what the same movie made in the 1950s might have been (a monkey in the cast, maybe a creature), the 1970s (gratuitous death, insisting on the ultimate futility of space), or the 1990s (evil corporate character). The Martian is a movie built for our times, our idea of the present day projected forward. Today’s Earth, we feel, would step up and save lonely victims despite all the politicians holding us back with secrets and lies. And by the end, we feel good about where we are going, even if we never get there. n

Walking On a DreaM The Walk. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in a movie written by Robert Zemeckis and Christopher Browne, based on the book To Reach the Clouds by Philippe Petit, and directed by Zemeckis.

Reviewed by Richie DeMaria

t

he Walk is Robert Zemeckis’s new movie about French tightrope walker Philippe Petit (played by a very charming Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who in 1974 walked between the two Twin Towers on a high wire with the assistance of a team of collaborators.

Painterly and brimming with joie de vivre, The Walk is a celebration of Petit’s grand performance and of grandiose dreams generally. In a nod toward the whimsical, boundary-defying Frenchman and the artful spirit of his country, the film’s heart is light, its spirit soaring, and its color palette dreamy and diffuse.

“All artists are anarchists, in some way,” says Petit’s photographer friend, Jean-Louis (Clément Sibony), and, indeed, for a major motion picture, this one boasts an unusually artful sheen. The visuals are reminiscent of Zemeckis’s picture-book The Polar Express in their softness and polarity, albeit in a more comforting and less nightmarishly cuddly, uncanny-valley style. For those who fear the three-dimensional cinematography, it is mostly used to suggest an almost cell-shaded spatial depth between people and scenes, though I suppose those with

MAN ON WIRE: Joseph Gordon-Levitt (right) plays tightrope walker Philippe Petit in The Walk.

vertigo or fear of heights may experience some nauseating personal dolly zoom of their own. I maintained my composure, despite being motion-sickness prone; the disorienting effects of this film are overstated.

The film falls into two halves, with the first following Petit from childhood dreamer to adult daredevil and the second focusing solely on the tense moments of his coup. As you watch Gordon-Levitt pace deftly back and forth on the high wire, the movie really does instill a sense of inspiration. Those who remember the 2008 documentary Man on Wire may be somewhat surprised by the uniformly happy tone of the film, as it does not explore the ways in which Petit’s obsession corroded his closest relationships.

But as James Marsh withheld any hint of future terrorist disasters from his documentary, Zemeckis similarly does not obscure the beauty of Petit’s performance with the less-charismatic sides of his ambition. The Walk is meant to celebrate, and it does—not just the Towers (even French dreams, it turns out, are American), but the fulfillment of impossible dreams. n independent.com

struggles in the last half-century. And it does it without much preaching at all.

(DJP) Metro 4 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.

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

Meet the Patels (88 mins.; PG: thematic elements, brief suggestive images, and incidental smoking)

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/

This documentary tells the true story of Ravi Patel, who is nearly 30 years old and not married. He meets the woman of his dreams and enters into a battle with his parents.

Plaza de Oro

Paseo Nuevo

Everest (121 mins.; PG-13: intense peril and disturbing images) Everest 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 choose to climb Everest. Most reply some version of: “Because it’s there.” That seems to be more or less why this movie was made and describes the style in which it’s told.

The mighty mountain, on screen as in off, somehow winds up a bland motivational metaphor to service commercial interests, with a blindness toward the less convenient truths of why. (RD)

Program

Beethoven: Piano Sonata in C Major, op. 2, no. 3 Ravel: Gaspard de la nuit Debussy: Selections from the Preludes Brahms: Variations and Fugue in B-flat Major on a Theme by Handel Handel, op. 24

In this French film, a young woman makes startling discoveries about her best friend’s husband after the friend dies.

Plaza de Oro Pawn Sacrifice (114 mins.; PG-13: brief strong language, some sexual content, and historical smoking)

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, fussy-pants chess player Bobby Fischer. 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. (DJP)

Winners will be revealed on October 15!

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of octobeR 8 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): If I warned you not to trust anyone, I hope you would reject my simplistic fearmongering.

If I suggested that you trust everyone unconditionally, I hope you would dismiss my delusional naïveté. But it’s important to acknowledge that the smart approach is far more difficult than those two extremes. You’ve got to evaluate each person and even each situation on a case-by-case basis. There may be unpredictable folks who are trustworthy some of the time, but not always. Can you be both affably open-hearted and slyly discerning? It’s especially important that you do so in the next 16 days.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): As I meditated on your astrological aspects, I had an intuition that I should go to a gem fair I’d heard about. It was at an event center near my home. When I arrived, I was dazzled to find a vast spread of minerals, fossils, gemstones, and beads.

Within a few minutes, two stones had commanded my attention, as if they’d reached out to me telepathically: chrysoprase, a green gemstone, and petrified wood, a mineralized fossil streaked with earth tones.

The explanatory note next to the chrysoprase said that if you keep this gem close to you, it “helps make conscious what has been unconscious.” Ownership of the petrified wood was described as conferring “the power to remove obstacles.” I knew these were the exact oracles you needed. I bought both stones, took them home, and put them on an altar dedicated to your success in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): George R. R. Martin has written a series of fantasy novels collectively called A Song of Ice and Fire. They have sold 60 million copies and been adapted for the TV series Game of Thrones. Martin says the inspiration for his master work originated with the pet turtles he owned as a kid. The creatures lived in a toy castle in his bedroom, and he pretended they were knights and kings and other royal characters.

“I made up stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and fought for the kingdom,”

he has testified. I think the next seven months will be a perfect time for you to make a comparable leap, Gemini. What’s your version of Martin’s turtles? And what valuable asset can you turn it into?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The editors of the Urban Dictionary provide a unique definition of the word “outside.” They say it’s a vast, uncomfortable place that surrounds your home. It has no ceiling or walls or carpets, and contains annoying insects and random loud noises.

There’s a big yellow ball in the sky that’s always moving around and changing the temperature in inconvenient ways. Even worse, the “outside” is filled with strange people that are constantly doing deranged and confusing things. Does this description match your current sense of what “outside” means, Cancerian? If so, that’s okay. For now, enjoy the hell out of being inside.

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I could give you a birthday present, it would be a map to your future treasure. Do you know which treasure I’m referring to? Think about it as you fall asleep on the next eight nights. I’m sorry I can’t simply provide you with the instructions you’d need to locate it. The cosmic powers tell me you have not yet earned that right. The second-best gift I can offer, then, will be clues about how to earn it. Clue #1: Meditate on the differences between what your ego wants and what your soul needs. Clue #2: Ask yourself, “What is the most unripe part of me?” and then devise a plan to ripen it. Clue #3: Invite your deep mind to give you insights you haven’t been brave enough to work with until now. Clue #4: Take one medium-sized bold action every day.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have been flirting with your “alone at the top” reveries. I won’t be surprised if one night you have a dream of riding on a Ferris wheel that malfunctions, leaving you stranded at the highest point. What’s going on? Here’s what I suspect: In one sense you are zesty and farseeing. Your competence and confidence are waxing. At the same time, you may be out of touch with what’s going on at ground level. Your connection to the depths is not as intimate as your relationship with the heights. The moral of the story might be to get in closer contact with your roots.

Or be more attentive to your support system. Or buy new shoes and underwear.

SCORPIO

(July 23-Aug. 22): We all go through phases when we are tempted to believe in the factuality of every hostile, judgmental, and random thought that our monkey minds generate. I am not predicting that this is such a time for you. But I do want to ask you to be extra skeptical toward your monkey mind’s fabrications.

Right now it’s especially important that you think as coolly and objectively as possible. You can’t afford to be duped by anyone’s crazy talk, including your own. Be extra vigilant in your quest for the raw truth.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Galway Kinnell’s poem “Middle of the Way” is about his solo trek through the snow on Oregon’s Mount Gauldy. As he wanders in the wilderness, he remembers an important truth about himself: “I love the day, the sun … But I know [that] half my life belongs to the wild darkness.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Scorpio, now is a good time for you, too, to refresh your awe and reverence for the wild darkness — and to recall that half your life belongs to it. Doing so will bring you another experience Kinnell describes as “an inexplicable sense of joy, as if some happy news had been transmitted to me directly, by-passing the brain.”

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

LEO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do you know about the ancient Greek general Pyrrhus? At the Battle of Asculum in 279 bce, his army technically defeated Roman forces, but his casualties were so substantial that he ultimately lost the war. You can and you must avoid a comparable scenario. Fighting for your cause is good only if it doesn’t wreak turmoil and bewilderment. If you want to avoid an outcome in which both sides lose, you’ve got to engineer a result in which both sides win. Be a cagey compromiser.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The last time I walked into a McDonald’s and ordered a meal was 1984. Nothing that the restaurant chain serves up is appealing to my taste or morality. I do admire its adaptability, however.

In cow-loving India, McDonald’s only serves vegetarian fare that includes deep-fried cheese and potato patties. In Israel, kosher McFalafels are available. Mexicans order their McMuffins with refried beans and pico de gallo. At a McDonald’s in Singapore, you can order McRice burgers. This is the type of approach I advise for you right now, Sagittarius. Adjust your offerings for your audience.

Go to RealAstrology.com to check out Rob Brezsny’s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES. The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 1-877-873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I haven’t planted a garden for years.

My workload is too intense to devote enough time to that pleasure. So eight weeks ago I was surprised when a renegade sunflower began blooming in the dirt next to my porch. How did the seed get there?

Via the wind? A passing bird that dropped a potential meal? The gorgeous interloper eventually grew to a height of four feet and produced a boisterous yellow flower head. Every day I muttered a prayer of thanks for its guerrilla blessing. I predict a comparable phenomenon for you in the coming days, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): The coming days will be a favorable time to dig up what has been buried. You can, if you choose, discover hidden agendas, expose deceptions, see beneath the masks, and dissolve delusions. But it’s my duty to ask you this: Is that really something you want to do? It would be fun and sexy to liberate so much trapped emotion and suppressed energy, but it could also stir up a mind-bending ruckus that propels you on a healing quest. I hope you decide to go for the gusto, but I’ll understand if you prefer to play it safe.

Filled with today’s amenities for the discriminating homeowner, quality and comfort are assured. Newly landscaped grounds surround the home with lush beauty, while multiple patios and decks add indoor-outdoor allure to approximately 3,000 +/- square feet of living space.

Every aspect of this exacting restoration is deliberate and well thought out – the beauty, romance, and quality undeniable. Live in paradise on Mission Ridge.

Border Patrol for yyour Vegetable Garden

in 2002 with obvious quality craftsmanship and details. The uptown location is extremely walkable. With Gelson’s, Jeannine’s, and Chaucer’s all within a few blocks, what more could one need? I could call this peaceful retreat my home sweet home and live here happily ever after.

OctOber 8, 2015

gray countertop offered plenty of room for meal preparation, dining, or socializing.

The home boasted a formal dining room, too. As I moved through the rooms, I noticed that although it’s situated on a busy corner, it’s quiet inside the house.

Dual-paned windows keep it serene, and there’s no traffic noise at all.

Throughout the house, the fanciful details continue. The skylights and windows are wood-latticed and framed, and there are built-in shelves and nooks and three tempting fireplaces. Curved windows echo arched doorways, and beamed cathedral ceilings soar overhead. French doors lead to multiple charming outdoor areas, including a brick patio in the backyard with a raised six-person Jacuzzi.

I had the feeling that I was in a luxurious yet comfortable hotel or resort, so I wasn’t surprised to learn that the house, aptly named La Casa Dulce, has been used most recently as a vacation rental.

Whether for a few nights or many years, I could certainly imagine making myself at home here.

While the neighborhood is full of 1930s-era houses, and this house itself was built in 1936, it was completely remodeled

independent real estate

nce upon a time, there was a sweet house in the San Roque neighborhood of Santa Barbara. The home was set on a big corner lot on a beautiful tree-lined street with other charming houses that were all built in the 1920s and ’30s. It was a neighborhood right out of a storybook.

On a recent sunny day, I walked up the flower-lined walkway through the front door of this home. Much like a storybook character, I was amazed at what I saw.“My, what high ceilings you have. My, what large rooms you have. And my, what beautiful details you have,” I was tempted to exclaim.

I pinched myself to ensure that this was no fairy tale and stepped across the threshold into the deluxe interior. It was much larger than I had expected from the street.

All three bedrooms were oversized, each with its own bathroom. My favorite bathroom featured both a deep inset Jacuzzi tub and a dual-head, glass-enclosed shower separated by a glass brick wall.

The kitchen stood out as one of the most stylish parts of the house, with gleaming appliances and quality cabinetry. A huge island with a hefty curving,

to put the garden.

2) Use wood 4x4s on the corners “pa’que se macizo”—so that the vegetable box is strong. Nail 8 wood tablets to the sides to complete the rectangle.

3) Use “alambre chiquita,” which is small-grid wire mesh, on the bottom. Cover the bottom surface, and nail it every three inches to the sides of the 8 wood tablets.

4) Use wood 2x4s as posts, and wrap 25 inches of chicken-wire mesh around your rectangle.

5) Fill your box halfway to the top with dirt, and then add good soil. Gustavo uses Kellogg Garden Organics Topper. A vegetable fortress the size of a full-sized mattress is about three to four sacks.

6) Mix your soil with a shovel, and plant your seeds or little plantlings.

Gustavo says May is a good time to plant because it is a “tiempo de calor.” He also mentions that it’s a good idea to install a drip system because of the drought. You can grow whatever you want, from tomatoes and zucchini to eggplant and cilantro, and go to sleep assured that your green little children are safe.

Lawn-Removal Rebates The state rebate requires at least 25 percent of the lawn to be replaced with droughttolerant plants at maturity, and at least one new or existing tree. It allows fruits and vegetables, too. The lawn can even appear dead as long as turf is still visible. YDP youth will do the sheet mulching and planting while contouring the soil to retain as much rainwater on-site as possible.

Summer is usually slow for YDP because the weather is hot and the young members are otherwise busy.“Fall is when we get more active again,” said Smith. “If you’re a young person age 15-25 or part of leadership in a youth or environmental organization, school or college, or the landscape industry, we’d love to work with you.”

And those interested in the rebate program better act fast.“The sooner homeowners apply, the better their chance of getting the funding before it runs out,” said Smith.

“Even renters can get the rebate with permission from their landlords. We help people through the easy online process.”

he nonprofit Youth Drought Project (YDP) was started in 2014 to provide volunteer and job opportunities to young people creating climate-friendly landscapes in the Santa Barbara area. Thanks to a recently launched state rebate program, all or most of the cost of hiring YDP to replace lawns with drought-tolerant plants and mulch will be covered. YDP members will also help customers apply for the State of California rebate, which covers up to 1,000 square feet or $2,000 and lasts until funding runs out.

YDP’s specialty is sheet mulching. “Sheet mulching applies de-taped cardboard boxes and a thick layer of mulch to smother lawns, build soil, and retain moisture,” according to YDP coordinator Brad Smith. “Fall is the best time because coming rains awaken dormant seeds and grass roots, which then die off because they can’t get through the cardboard and mulch.” Over time, the cardboard decomposes into the soil. Smith says other techniques, such as hand removal, chemicals, or plastic sheeting, are less effective and more costly, toxic, labor intensive, or unsightly.

Youth Drought Project

n an ideal natural ecosystem, no major inputs come from outside sources. Think about an old-growth forest. The natural forces of birth and decomposition require no guiding human hand. Seeds sprout; trees and herbs grow and die in accordance with their own genetic timetables and subject to the forces of weather and the seasons. Organic elements are recycled by fungi and bacteria and decompose to feed the roots of the remaining members of the forest. Can we emulate this process in our own landscapes? The answer is a resounding yes.

The lesson is to recycle organic material from the landscape right on site. We’ve been lulled into the thought that this is waste instead of a resource.

If you must rake up those leaves, don’t put them in a (nonrecyclable) plastic bag, compost them yourself; they make the best mulch you can imagine. Is your lawn mower a mulching mower? If not, don’t discard those clippings; compost them. Other fodder for your composting operation: vegetable scraps from the kitchen and dinner table, even newspapers, small amounts of fireplace ash,

Recycling Your Garden Waste:

algae from your water garden, and those stinky stems that were last week’s flower arrangement. Large, woody material may need chopping or grinding, but softer vegetation can be easily composted in a minimum of space.

Composting is not hard. It relies on natural partners (fungi and bacteria) that are already in place. They complete their life cycles using organic detritus and leave a useful product to enhance our garden plots. The ultimate goal of all this recycling is to return the elements necessary for plant growth to the soil. By composting and returning these organic materials to your particular piece of the earth, you will have succeeded in reducing the need for some outside inputs to the system.

little as a fraction of an inch) can heavily impact performance. It’s not uncommon to see R-30 insulation act like R-5 insulation — all because of building air leakage and small installation gaps.

While it takes skillful work by a meticulous contractor to get all the details right, the impact of a thorough job is impressive. Between air sealing and insulation, we gain desirable control over the indoor environment. The range of conditions in which the house can be kept comfortable using passive measures (requiring no energy at all) is greatly expanded. If we do need to use heaters or air conditioners in a tight, well-sealed house, the equipment can be smaller and use significantly less energy to maintain comfort.

Home-performance contractors implement many other measures in pursuit of energy efficiency, but air sealing and insulation almost always end up being part of the mix. Other measures

means insulation. Because of our mild climate, insulation only started being routinely installed in the late 1970s, when California changed its building codes to require it. Although a positive development, the amount of insulation required back then was insufficient. Furthermore, the industry didn’t have the scientific understanding of how insulation really worked, so its installation often led to other problems, such as mold or wood rot.

The ability of insulation to block the transfer of heat— heat whether into or out of the home — is called R-value. The higher the R-value, the less unwanted heat loss or gain. R-30 insulation, for example, is typically required in attics in our region.

(Requirements vary widely throughout the state due to California’s many microclimates).

Building science has shown that insulation doesn’t work well when air is moving through it; thus air sealing the home is the most important step for making insulation work well. Furthermore, insulation is highly susceptible to installation flaws. Small voids in the insulation (as

n a previous article, I discussed “home performance,” the practice of improving the energy efficiency of existing homes by applying the principles of building science, a data-driven approach to energy improvements. Home-performance contractors test each house using sophisticated equipment, analyze the data, and only then make recommendations as to which solutions are right for the house.

Air sealing the home is usually the top priority because most homes are leaky.

The benefits from tightening a house’s shell are numerous: reduced energy use, comfort, better health, and lower utility bills.

Controlling indoor temperature is often the second priority — and that

Original Owner: Charles W. Gorham Year of Construction: 1883 Architect: Unknown

rofiled this week is the former home of Mr. Charles W. Gorham, manager of the Santa Barbara Lumber Company, where he and his family lived for 40 years. The property is one of very few in the city to maintain Second Empire architecture, also called the Mansard style, which can be attributed to the work of famed 17th-century French architect François Mansart. This style gained popularity in the United States in the 1870s and 1880s, primarily in smaller Californian cities. Second Empire’s hallmarks include a symmetrical square block with a projecting bay window, tall windows on the first floor, and steep, narrow roofs with fish-scale and shingled overlays. This property also features interesting “dormer” windows poking out from the roof.

In December 1939, the Santa Barbara News-Press published an advertisement celebrating the lumber mill’s 50th anniversary. The ad read, in part,“In 1889, a group of local businessmen recognized the need for a better lumber and millwork service to a rapidly growing community and founded the Union Mill Co. This group included pioneers of the construction and lumber industry of the west. … J.H. Richardson and C.W. Gorham were associates … Wages shall in no case be less than $3 or more than $4 per day.” By 2015, the wage equivalent would be close to $80 per day— day quite a living wage!

The property changed hands multiple times since Gorham passed away. In a sign of the vacation rentals-by-owner era to come, a resident who was advertising the property as a bedand-breakfast in 1984 was ordered to stop. Today, it houses six units and was most recently assessed at $1.7 million.

Thompson was born in Maine in 1797. His brother, Francis, would later captain the brig Pilgrim, made famous by Richard Henry Dana’s book Two Years Before the Mast. An uncle, Dixie Wildes, helped found one of the most important companies engaged in the China trade in the 1820s and 1830s. The China trade was a complex mercantile system involving the movement of goods among the U.S., California, Europe, China, and the Pacific Islands.
