Andria Martinez Cohen’s experience working with local governments throughout California on economic development, budget and finance is much needed on the Council. She is not afraid to ask the tough questions and has a passion for serving our community. Andria will be an effective leader in improving public safety in the first district and responsive government throughout the City.

Randy Rowse provides a level headed approach to critical issues. He studies the issues, understands the need to listen to all sides, and works to create consensus.

We are confident he will continue to balance the needs of his Mesa District while doing what’s best for the entire City.

Cathy Murillo has consistently shown her dedication to protecting public safety. She has fought to maintain staffing levels in the fire department, ensuring that first responders can maintain quick response times in the event of a fire or medical emergency.

NOVEMBER 6

DISTRICT 1:

Andria Martinez Cohen

“The finest rock songwriter after Dylan and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix.”

– LA Times

Of the three districts up for grabs, District 1—which encompasses the Eastside and a significant swath of the waterfront, including the Funk Zone—has traditionally been the least represented on the City Council and is undergoing

the most pronounced changes.

Of the five candidates on the ballot, three are serious contenders. Of those, Jacqueline Inda and Jason Dominguez have much to recommend them, but not enough to make us comfortable in endorsing either. Though Andria Martinez Cohen is clearly the greenest, her enthusiasm, optimism, and practical brand of political progressivism impress us.

Inda is by the far the most of, for, and by the disenfranchised population she seeks to represent. She also has the most extensive track record of grassroots community involvement. However, there have been a couple of incidents that make us wonder whether her political judgment can keep pace with her activist impulses.

Likewise, Jason Dominguez is exceptionally articulate and boasts the most dazzling résumé. Yet his last stint as director of the financially troubled Legal Aid Foundation proved rocky and, at eight months, notably short-lived. If elected, Dominguez, we suspect, would function as a skeptical moderate. But given the dramatic shifts in the political company he’s kept, we’re not really sure.

And yes, we have questions about Martinez Cohen, as well. Her lack of experience and strong support from the Democratic Party and public employee unions give rise to concerns she’ll function as “the stooge” for “the machine.”

We’re persuaded, however, that will not be the case. She brings an energetically independent mind and spirit. Her focus is on getting things done rather than promoting sterile gamesmanship and partisan posturing. Martinez Cohen has also worked with 10 Southern California cities in her job as a nonprofit loan officer to leverage private funds to promote economic development, so she comes equipped with some of the tools to figure out city finances.

CHRIS THILE NOVEMBER 8

“The most remarkable mandolinist in the world.”

– London’s Independent

DISTRICT 2:

DORADO SCHMITT

Randy Rowse

With five years of council experience under his belt, Randy Rowse has established himself as a congenial, rightof-center, pro-business moderate. Clearly, we disagree with him on certain issues. We never bought his insistence that homeless people are chasing visitors away from downtown in droves and take exception to his insistence that “perception is reality” where street people are concerned.

But Rowse brings a good-faith energy and common-sense style to the council. More often than not, his insights and arguments are steeped in actual experience rather than ideology. His presence helps keep the debate honest and real. Lastly, we were much impressed by how Rowse stepped outside his political comfort zone when he worked on behalf of a failed sales-tax increase to cover City Hall’s unmet infrastructure needs.

Rowse now finds himself representing a district that includes the Mesa and portions of the Westside. As a 30-year resident of the Mesa, he’ll have no problem taking care of his own neighborhood. But we hope he’ll expand the focus to include the Westside more than his campaign materials reflect.

Challenger Luis Esparza should be commended for the thoughtful intelligence he brought to the race; likewise, Missy McSweeney-Zeitsoff enlivened the forums with her straight talk and direct personality.

DISTRICT 3:

Cathy Murillo

District 3 makes up Santa Barbara’s Westside and lower Westside neighborhoods, home to some of the poorest, most densely packed households in town. Murillo has lived there for 15 years, and as the only Latina ever elected to the City Council, she has made it her mission to represent the city’s Hispanic community.

As a councilmember, Murillo has lent an eager ear to the city’s progressive activists. She was an ardent supporter of the plastic-bag ban and spoke out on behalf of endangered steelhead trout. During desalination discussions, she pushed to convert our wastewater into a potable supply. When it appeared the Metropolitan Transit District was about to inflict wholesale destruction on transit service funding, Murillo was the only councilmember attending MTD meetings.

Murillo used to work at The Santa Barbara Independent, and so some of us have a personal familiarity with her foibles as well as her strengths. What impresses us about Murillo is her passion and commitment, but sometimes there’s too much of a good thing. For her next term, we’d suggest less flag waving would go a long way. Likewise, we’re troubled by reports Murillo is already positioning herself for a mayoral bid two years hence. Her focus needs to be on building relationships with her council colleagues and familiarizing herself with the nuts and bolts of getting things done.

Also running for District 3 is Sharon Byrne, Murillo’s longtime nemesis and doppelgänger who runs the Milpas Community Association (MCA). Although the rhetoric of the MCA has frequently been too strident and polarizing for our comfort level — on issues like the homeless, the gang injunction, and medical marijuana dispensaries — it must be acknowledged that Byrne has been a highly effective neighborhood advocate.

Given that, we were disappointed by the lack of advance notice that she provided affected businesses when she and the MCA unveiled their plans to create a business improvement district along the Milpas corridor. That has since generated a race-infused debate that’s grown increasingly inflamed.

Byrne calls to mind Lyndon B. Johnson’s classic conundrum: whether it was better to have former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover “outside the tent pissing in or inside the tent pissing out.” Johnson concluded the latter. Where Byrne n — a formidable and creative force on the Eastside — is concerned, we favor the former.

One had just been carved for Kimberly Hamilton, a 45-year-old Los Olivos woman who police suspect was shot by her husband in a murder-suicide. The Hamiltons left behind three children. Advocates, family members, and friends of victims gathered in the plaza for a vigil and march organized by Domestic Violence Solutions, which hosted two other events this month.

Boom Times Booming 175-Unit Old Town Village in Goleta Wins Final Approval

C

iting the South Coast’s critical shortage of workforce housing and leaping at the chance to breathe new life into Old Town, the Goleta City Council on Tuesday approved a 175-unit mixed-use development for a farm field just below Hollister Avenue.

The 3-2 split vote came after significant debate over adding yet another project to what’s recently felt like a nonstop assembly line of new construction in the small city.

Neighbors arrived in force to express anxiety that the Old Town Village will suck up water and spit out traffic, and they worried the council is sacrificing the character of their beloved community.

“This is not the way we were supposed to be,” said one 35-year resident. “We don’t want to be L.A.; we want to be the Goodland.” “I feel like Goleta’s soul has been sold to the devil,” added another neighbor. “What you call housing I call an out-of-control urban nightmare.”

Former mayor Margaret Connell (an online columnist for The Independent) spoke on behalf of the Goodland Coalition and said 1,500 new residential units are already coming to Goleta. She stated the project’s market-rate homes will do little to address the low-income-housing need. Julia Crookston, who owns the Goodland Kitchen and Market nearby, said she’s lived through ill-advised expansions in San Francisco’s Mission District and Silver Lake in Los Angeles. “Unsupported growth is a disaster,” she said.

Those on the other side of the discussion — like the Goleta Chamber of Commerce and a recent UCSB graduate who said the 10

proposal will be good for people trying to take the step from student to young professional — noted how the project’s mix of townhomes, live-work units, and shopkeeper spaces is designed to attract workers who would otherwise be priced out of the area’s impenetrable housing market. Right now, they argued, the starting salaries of firefighters, teachers, Sheriff’s deputies, and city planners aren’t enough to keep them in town, forcing them to commute from North County or move out of the area altogether.

Bill McReynolds, vice president of Ventura-based development firm City Ventures, said 161 of the units will cost between $400,000-$600,000 and be marketed to locals earning 120-200 percent of the area’s median income, which is $75,400 for a family of four; 14 units are earmarked as affordable. City Ventures is certified to offer FHA loans, allowing buyers to put just 3 percent down, McReynolds also explained. He complimented the city on its GEM (Goleta Entrepreneurial Magnet) program and said Old Town Village fits nicely into Goleta’s unique vision for smart growth.

Project planners told the council that the 12-acre property, which sits next to Highway 217 by the Honda dealership on South Kellogg, has a water service agreement to use 86.3 acre-feet of water per year. Last year, it used 24 acre feet. The development will use 28. Traffic consultants said the new living and work spaces will generate an additional 1,100 car trips through the area per day.

Planning manager Lisa Plowman talked of the project’s green design that features a reclaimed water system, lots of glass for natural light, multiple open spaces, bike storage,

a community garden, and private yards or rooftop decks for each unit. McReynolds also stated that City Ventures agreed to give 2.5 acres of the property to the city, at a value of $2.75 million, so the city can extend Ekwill Street as part of a larger traffic-improvement scheme throughout the Hollister area.

During deliberations, Councilmember Michael Bennett said he opposed Old Town Village because it would generate far less tax-revenue than the hotel and conference center that had originally been envisioned for that site — $24,000 a year, which he described as “budget dust,” compared to $2 million a year. In its approval, the council agreed to amend the city’s General Plan to rezone the property from visitor-serving to residential-commercial.

Councilmember Tony Vallejo sympathized with those who complained of steady construction, but he said projects like the Village at Los Carneros and Hollister Village were approved many years ago.

“These things aren’t happening all at once,” he said. “Right now we’re overlapping, but we’re almost done.” Vallejo noted Goleta’s extremely low 0.99 percent vacancy rate when he gave his yes vote.

Councilmember Roger Aceves assented as well, excited at a new path that will be built between the property and Hollister Avenue, a five-minute walk away. The foot traffic will funnel directly toward a proposed new civic center and town hall in Old Town, he pointed out. “Assemblymember Das Williams sent a letter in support,” he summed up.“I don’t agree with him on a lot of things, but I agree with him on this.” n

Fresh Violence Before a Vigil

news briefs

The 10/17 crash of a small plane in the San Bernardino Mountains killed Santa Barbara residents and Accurate Aviation employees Bob Trimble and Terri Day (pictured above).

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials said their Piper PA-28 Cherokee was returning from Palm Springs when it went down in the harsh terrain of Morongo Canyon. While the incident continues to be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and NTSB, Accurate Aviation representatives said inclement weather is suspected to be a factor in the crash. “To Bob and Terri: ‘Blue skies and tailwinds,’” the company said in a statement. “The Accurate Aviation family will miss you both dearly.”

Actor Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, were released from a Vermont state prison on 10/15 after a judge dismissed fugitive charges against the couple. Judge Alison Arms ruled there was no legal basis to keep the Quaids — who fled Santa Barbara squatting and vandalism charges in 2010 — in custody in Vermont, thus allowing the couple to remain there unprosecuted. Randy Quaid told reporters that he looks forward to staying and joining the volunteer fire department in the small town of Lincoln.

Two Santa Barbara city police officers responded on 10/17 to a call of a man causing a disturbance at a wedding at the Carriage Museum. The man, Jorge Rodriguez, 22, of Goleta, had wandered into the reception uninvited and refused to leave.

Rodriguez reportedly punched one officer in the face and bit him on the shoulder. When a police K-9 latched onto Rodriguez, he bit the dog and wrenched one of its legs. Once released from the hospital, Rodriguez will be booked into County Jail on a number of felony charges.

Former KCOY news anchor Paula Lopez’s arraignment and her DUI and battery case have been postponed to 11/20. At a court hearing on 10/19, Lopez’s attorney Matt Conley said discovery is still taking place.

Because the six counts against her are misdemeanors, Lopez was not required to be in court. Later this month, TV reporter Melissa Mahan, who graduated from UCSB in 2002, will take over Lopez’s evening anchor position on KCOY 12 Central Coast News.

While new science shows incredible brain development within the first five years of life, it’s the same old story when it comes to high-quality early care and education countywide. Basically, there aren’t enough licensed facilities, and about 25 percent of existing spots are of low quality, according to Ben Romo, executive director of First 5 Santa Barbara County, which hosted a discussion Monday night on “the preschool and child-care crisis.”

More stats painted an even bleaker picture. Countywide, it’s estimated that 65 percent of children 5 years old and younger have both parents, or their present single parent, in the workforce, a situation that makes preschool more likely a necessity than a choice. But in that respect, Romo continued, only 11,000 licensed spaces exist for 20,000 kids in need. And lastly, preschool teachers — tasked with nurturing children during the most critical time of brain development — get paid the least, compared to K-12 instructors.

Governor Jerry Brown’s recent veto of AB 47, which would have set a timetable for providing state-subsidized preschool for 4-year-olds from low-income families, exacerbated Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson’s frustration with the issue. As part of Monday’s panel, she explained that investment in early education helps save money down the road, as better-educated kids tend to take paths that don’t lead to jail, for example. “This is not rocket science,” Jackson said. “But it’s been very difficult to get this message to the governor.” In the meantime, Jackson said she’s working on legislation that would provide corporate incentives for on-site child care.

She specifically cited Ventura-based Patagonia as a model program. — Keith Hamm

tate Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblymember Das Williams — political allies and personal friends — were distant on more than one issue this year. For instance, Williams agitated area Democrats when he abstained from the mandatory-vaccine vote, a bill Jackson coauthored. Likewise, Williams’s opposition to the so-called right-to-die bill put him at odds with some strong supporters. On Williams’s Isla Vista self-governance bill, Jackson was conspicuously silent until the bill made it to the Senate floor, where she ultimately cast a yes vote.

Yet the Santa Barbara legislators teamed up following the Refugio Oil Spill and coauthored legislation in response. One bill requires the State Fire Marshal to inspect all interstate pipelines every year. Another, the Rapid Oil Spill Response Act, allows commercial fishing vessels to respond to an oil spill and requires quick notification to the Legislature if dispersants are used. Williams also authored a bill that requires oil pipelines near environmentally sensitive areas to have “the best available technology,” including automatic shutoffs. The governor signed all three. Altogether, Brown signed nine of William’s bills and 14 of Jackson’s, and he vetoed three each.

Fair Pay: Attracting national attention

this year was Jackson’s Fair Pay Act, which strengthens existing equal-pay laws in California — home to 12 percent of the country’s women. The law prohibits employers from paying a woman less than a man for “substantially similar” work under similar working conditions unless seniority, merit, education, or training is a factor.“The real goal here is to get businesses to just reevaluate their pay schedules,” Jackson said. “I believe most employers do not intentionally discriminate on the basis of gender, but there have been such subconscious biases.”

The bill, supported by many Republicans and the California Chamber of Commerce, allows the filing of an administrative complaint through the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or legal action. In Santa Barbara, the state agency office is staffed with eight people to cover Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura, which attorney Bruce Anticouni believes is woefully understaffed.

“Things that traditionally years ago would take a matter of a few months now take six to eight months,” the employment-law attorney said. Jackson said her offices have been told the agency has the resources to handle more cases.“We’ll see how many there are,” she said.

Anticouni, who represents both employees and employers, said he is already getting calls from employers to audit their staff positions to determine similar duties when the bill becomes law on January 1, 2016. Larger firms, such as tech companies, might be more susceptible to class-action lawsuits while smaller independent.com

Refugio Oil Spill

employers could make the case each person does different types of work, he added.

Supporters say the bill strengthens strictly written equal-pay laws — beneficial given the abundance of skills and professions in today’s world. Employment attorney Janean Acevedo Daniels called the bill significant because it will shift the burden of proof from employees to employers. Employees fear complaining about working conditions out of worry they’ll lose their job, she said. Brown also signed Jackson’s bill to update child-care laws and prohibit an employer with 25 or more employees from discriminating against a parent or guardian with a child in day care or grade school for taking off up to 40 hours each year for school activities.

In a big loss for all employees, Anticouni said, the governor vetoed AB 465, which would have made it illegal for an employer to require employees to sign a waiver of rights as a condition of employment and would have prohibited employers from retaliating or discriminating against people who refused.

Opponents argued the bill would conflict with federal law and that arbitration resolves employment disputes without overburdening the judicial system.

Kibosh on Kardashian-sized Weddings:

Among the 133 bills Brown vetoed this year was one provoked by Kim Kardashian’s massive Montecito wedding in 2011. The more than 300 guests caused hours of congested traffic and neighborhood complaints, but the homeowner was fined $100. Williams’s AB 514 sought to allow counties to impose a fine more than three times the permit or up to $5,000. County Planning & Development Director Glenn Russell traveled to Sacramento to support the bill, saying the current state fines fail to deter “scofflaws.” Brown contended the bill lacked “the balance needed to prevent unintended consequences, especially on those with modest means and those who are unfamiliar with their local ordinances.”

Brown also vetoed Jackson’s bill making drones less than 350 feet above a persons’ property illegal without his or her permission. n

Villaraigosa for Gov?

Antonio Villaraigosa, Antonio Villaraigosa the former mayor of Los Angeles who is expected to run for governor in 2018, spent a hot Friday afternoon in Santa Barbara to talk about the state’s troubled criminal-justice system, environmental issues, and, with gridlock causing a commuter nightmare in Southern California that day, transportation. The gathering at La Casa de la Raza with State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson marked the 27th day of his “listening tour” that’s taken him to Salinas, the Central Valley, San Francisco, San Diego, and Coachella.

In beginning discussions, Chief Probation Officer Lupe Rabago brought up Proposition 47, which decreased some drug and theft crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. Data presented to the Santa Barbara supervisors last week showed that, since the enactment of Prop. 47, the percentage of people who fail to appear in court has increased by 45 percent and drug-treatment participation is down.

Villaraigosa, who supported the new law, said he endorsed the concept of reducing prison sentences and investing in prevention programs but suggested the matter needed to be carefully scrutinized to ensure Prop. 47 outcomes matched those intended.

On environmental issues, Villaraigosa noted the nexus of conservationism and social justice, remarking on the disproportionate impact of carbon emissions on poor people living in cities. “If you want the poor community to get behind this, there has got to be something for them,” he said. On what he called the “broken tax system,” Villaraigosa said he voted against Prop. 13, a property-tax reform originally passed in 1978, and called for the state to take up tax increases or restructuring — especially “as the state gets bluer.”

Villaraigosa’s Santa Barbara visit came the day after a new Field Poll showed he is among three probable candidates with early support; the others are Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti. Villaraigosa, who is a big Hillary Clinton supporter, has not said publicly if he plans to run for governor, but in closing remarks Friday, he said, “I think you’ll see more of me.”

NOT ALL CREATED EQUAL: Environmental attorney Philip Seymour told the board not all types of chaparral qualify as sensitive.

Valley of Thorns

S

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

even years ago, when the county started the Eastern Goleta Valley Community Plan process, no one thought the argument in the 11th hour would be about thorny brush.

But whether all types of chaparral qualify as environmentally sensitive habitat was one of two major issues discussed Tuesday, when the supervisors ultimately voted 3-2 to approve the plan.

While many acknowledged the longcontentious battles in the Goleta Valley —over development in a low-density area — had been largely resolved, several environmentalists took to the podium to dispute county staff’s determination that chaparral could be cut back 100 feet (or up to 300 feet with fire department approval) around structures so as not to fuel wildfires. Environmental Defense Center attorneys, who met with Planning and Development staff at the tail end of the lengthy process, argued chaparral supports sensitive species, protects watersheds, and that the ordinance limits the types of chaparral identified as sensitive, creating inconsistencies within the plan.

But Philip Seymour — the self-described “most biased speaker,” a firefighter turned environmental attorney who now lives near Painted Cave — said all chaparral that is

located in the area is not sensitive. Supervisor Janet Wolf, who represents the Goleta Valley, called the issue personally difficult because on one hand, she has been evacuated from her home twice since it burned down in the Painted Cave fire, but on the other, she appreciates the incredible chaparral-filled mountainside. She disapproved of unsanctioned clear-cutting.

The other main issue was an argument about rezoning properties along the Hollister Avenue corridor from commercial to mixed-use zoning. Supervisors Steve Lavagnino and Peter Adam, who argued that a rezone could be a death sentence for the businesses that are located on the 55 parcels and could be considered an economic taking, voted against the plan. “At the end of the day, we should be extremely reluctant to take … value out of our neighbors’ property,” Adam said.

County staff noted the rezone would not impact a business immediately; it would have to change its use. Wolf argued the rezone of the Hollister corridor is an “integral string that ties this whole plan together.”

Refuting the argument that the owners were in the dark about the change, Wolf said there were many opportunities for owners to voice concerns. n

ith California entering its fifth year of drought on October 1, rainfall totals remain the driest in the state’s recorded history. Even with a strengthening El Niño seemingly ramping up the likelihood of a very wet winter—perhaps even rivaling 1997-98’s record-setting deluge—the city’s water team on Tuesday reiterated the boon of its free low-flow showerhead exchange and toilet-leak test kit. So far, residents’ efforts have helped reduce demand by 33 percent in September alone, eclipsing the city’s target goal of 25 percent.

Such conservation efforts bode well in light of the unreliable rainfall predictions for the coming three months. While this winter promises to be warmer than usual, city water-supply manager Kelley Dyer said that,

according to National Weather Service forecasts, the chances of below-normal, normal, and above-normal rainfall are equal. Meanwhile, on October 12, Cachuma Reservoir checked in at a lowly 16.7 percent of capacity.

“We are approaching lake levels never seen before,” Dyer told councilmembers.

In related news, the Montecito Water District’s retiring General Manager Tom Mosby is anticipating Santa Barbara’s terms of agreement concerning future deliveries from the city’s long-mothballed desalination plant, slated to be in production in September of next year. Mosby added that several dozen applicants are vying for his position, and he’ll likely continue with the district until his replacement is trained. The n application period ends next week.

Beltway Chin Strokers Talk Up President Jerry Brown, but State Dems Are Less Enthused

O

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

nly three things stand between Governor Jerry Brown and the White House: (a) Hillary Clinton is still breathing, (b) he makes Methuselah look like a kid, and (c) his home-turf partisans turn thumbs down.

In a below-the-radar boomlet, East Coast pundits in recent weeks floated scenarios that foresee California’s venerable chief executive emerging from the tumult of the 2016 presidential campaign as the Democratic nominee.

“Why Aren’t the Democrats Trying to Draft Jerry Brown?” demanded the limousine liberal magazine Vanity Fair, while the usually sensible Washington Post published “The Case for Jerry Brown” and the staunchly conservative Weekly Standard posed the question, “Jerry Brown Considering Running for President?” Warhorse populist Ralph Nader even forecast a ticket topped by Brown and Elizabeth Warren, the progressive U.S. senator from Massachusetts.

“I know Jerry Brown,” Nader told the New Haven Independent. “And he’s just waiting. He’s not going to campaign. But if Hillary sinks before the primaries, if she gets in real trouble — he’s ready.”

President Brown? Really?

NOT A FAVORITE SON: As a practical

matter, the chances of Brown being nominated, let alone elected — sans any fundraising apparatus or an iota of national organization— are roughly equivalent to Dale Francisco becoming Secretary of Transportation.

The most recent data point highlighting the folly of the Jerry Option, as set forth by the Beltway bloviator brigade, is a brandnew Field Poll; although a huge 73 percent majority of registered Democrats give Brown high marks as governor (statewide, 56 percent of registered voters approve), only 39 percent of Dems think he should run for president.

“Despite Brown’s high overall standing with voters, likely voters in California’s Democratic primary next year are cool to the idea of Brown becoming a candidate for their party’s presidential nomination,” wrote survey director Mark DiCamillo, with characteristic understatement.

The 77-year-old governor, who blundered through failed campaigns for the White House in 1976, 1980, and 1992, until recently pooh-poohed the thought of another national race: “If I could go back in a time machine and be 66, I might jump in,” he told reporters last spring.“But that’s a counterfactual, so you don’t need to speculate on that.”

(Slight digression: How can you not treasure a pol who uses the word “counterfactual”?)

In a CNN interview last month, however, Brown himself ignited the recent speculation, offering an equivocal, murky answer when asked why he has yet to endorse Hillary, left-wing Senator Bernie Sanders, or anyone else in the Democratic field: “I would say, though, it is early,” he said.

“You could have a lot of big surprises, a lot of action between now and the first Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. A lot’s going to happen in the Republican primary, and I think some things could happen on the Democratic side, as well.”

HAMLET AND THE CLOWN CAR:

The mere sound of pundits blathering about Brown reflects the unsettled state of the ’16 campaign, which features both a clown car spectacle on the Republican side and frequent displays of frailties and foibles by front-runner Hillary Clinton, who generates lingering, restless anxiety among Democrats.

Despite Clinton’s recent surge following the first Democratic debate, a host of uncertainties still shape an unstable political environment: Washington’s obsession with drip-drip stories about her emails, her scary 2013 encounter with a life-threatening blood clot near her brain, the public’s current enthusiasm for political outsiders, the unexpected strength shown by Sanders, the endless political Hamlet act performed by Vice President Joe Biden as he mulls a run, for starters.

Amid these inconstant conditions, the interest in Brown among the Capitol’s chattering class is a tribute—not only to his strong performance as fourth-term leader of the nation’s largest state but also to his singular standing as a sui generis political lifer who, for five decades, has crafted and sustained a public role as an independent thought leader in a professional field routinely dominated by intellectual pygmies and craven dunces. “ … Brown’s case against Clinton is as serious as anyone this side of Biden,” wrote Chris Cillizza, the Post’s chief peddler of conventional wisdom. “And the threat he would pose to her is not to be dismissed.”

Except …

BOTTOM LINE: California-based polit-

ical media hucksters, including this one, for months have augured that Brown will not be in the picture when the presidential deal goes down.

A few days ago, we asked one of his most steadfast strategists if the recent national political prattle should change that prognostication. His advice: “Stand n pat for now.”

Joseph Avedis Ignatius

sister-in-law, four children, four grand grandchildren, and seven nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 21 at 11 a.m. at All Saints-By-The-Sea Episcopal Church in Montecito, CA. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to Serenity House in Santa Barbara; Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care (Santa Barbara); or The Ignatius Lecture FundStanford Department of Surgery.

Cinder Jean Nooney 09/21/58-10/05/15 Joseph Avedis Ignatius, general surgeon, founder of The Surgical Index, gifted athlete, and devoted husband and father, died from natural causes Sunday, October 4, at the age of 90 in Santa Barbara.

All who knew him felt elevated in his presence. He loved inclusive discourse, encouraging participation from all present. It was never about him but about you, finding out what your passion was, or simply how your day went. He loved politics, movies, and music — the jazz greats, but also the Beatles and Dylan.

He had a wonderful sense of humor and a love of life.

Born in Glendale, CA, in 1925, Joe was a first-generation American of Armenian heritage and the youngest of three children. He received both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Stanford University. Interrupted by service in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, he returned to Stanford to complete his surgical residency. Joe set up private practice in Los Altos, CA, and taught at Stanford Medical School and California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. He was an active contributing editor to the American College of Surgeons continuing medical education program and a member of the editorial board of the Archives of Surgery.

In 1950, Joe married his first wife, Virginia Eddy, with whom he had four children, Peter, Barbara, Michael, and Elisa. In 1978, he married his second wife, Cherie, with whom he happily enjoyed 37 years of marriage.

In the 1960s, he joined Concerned Physicians and Scientists Against the War and later was appointed by Dr. Phil Lee, then assistant secretary for the Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare, to help establish one of the first medical clinics to provide care for people in rural communities who had little access to quality medical care.

In 1972, Joe began The Surgical Index, which was perhaps his proudest achievement and most enduring legacy. Each month, his astute critical reviews of the surgical literature were an immense aid to practicing surgeons and surgical residents. More than 3,000 surgeons and universities subscribed worldwide.

In 2011, the Annual Ignatius Lecture in Surgery was established at Stanford University in his honor, acknowledging his contribution to the field of medicine and to the practicing surgeon.

A lifelong tennis player, Joe began to compete both nationally and internationally in his 40s. By the end of his competitive career, he had achieved a ranking of number five in the world and had represented the U.S. in multiple international senior Davis Cup-type competitions.

Joe is survived by his wife, brother, 16

Cinder Jean Nooney, 57, passed away on Monday October 5 2015, after a long battle with complications from leukemia. She was born September 21 1958, in Torrance, California, and lived in Manhattan Beach until she was 11.

Her parents, Jean Nooney Ill and Helen Marie Nooney, moved to Goleta in 1969.

She graduated from Dos Pueblos High School and attended Santa Barbara City College. She is now with her mother who passed away in August 2015. She is survived by her brother Ross Nooney, (Sue Nooney) her father Jean Nooney and the longtime love of her life, Robert Thomas Bucy. She is also survived by her niece Melissa Gutierrez (Armando), her nephew Robert Nooney (Kelli), her great nephew and nieces Blake and Madelyn Gutierrez and Reese Nooney.

During her early teen age years she discovered her natural talent for music, poetry, songwriting and singing. These talents sustained her throughout her life where she entertained, traveled, produced CDs and taught guitar lessons.“I have lived a very happy life and fulfilled so many of my dreams. Carry on please. In this life we are so resilient and can find our way back after loss. We can find new love and new friends. God designed our spirits to bounce back after a season of grief. Please hold me in your thought and minds. Don’t ever forget the fun times we have had together!

Put photographs on your walls and remember always.” She and Tom shared a common interest in music, songwriting and entertaining together and are well-known in the Santa Barbara area and the big island of Hawaii. She loved the ocean with all her heart and especially the crystal blue waters of Hawaii.

She was so grateful for the inspiration and love from the Big Island. She also shared the love and companionship of their four cats, Kimbe, Shelby, Pearl and Little One, who are like family.

“Remember, the music I have created in this world is who I am and needs to never be forgotten. Being a songwriter and performing my songs live on stage has given me the greatest joy in life and I know that’s why I was put on this earth.

Writing songs, recording songs and performing them for people has been the most amazing thing ever! I always want

ocTobEr 22, 2015

to be remembered as Cinder Jeavinger/ songwriter. My students are wonderful, and I love them all. Ask them to keep on playing guitar and singing and carry the seed of music to the next generation of children.” She is loved by many and will be deeply missed. A celebration mass will be held at St. Raphael’s Church, 5444 Hollister Ave. Santa Barbara, on Friday, October 23 at 10am.

Paul Jacobs

04/29/34-10/08/15

Musician, Engineer, Pun-Loving Tax Man Paul Jacobs, 81, passed away Thursday, October 8, 2015, in Santa Barbara, California, after a sudden illness.

Paul is survived by his wife, Barbara Logen, of Goleta, California; son Harold and wife Lynne and grandson Gerald of Texas; daughter Barbara and husband Sergio and grandsons Daniel, Gabriel, and Mateo; and daughter Nancy and granddaughter Taya.

This musical and mathematical man was born April 29, 1934, in the Bronx, New York, to Israel and Sarah Jacobs.

His background in music and engineering gave him a unique perspective of the world. His wicked sense of the absurd and mastery of the pun made his humor one of the important things his friends and family knew about Paul.

Also immediately apparent to those around him was his intelligence.

After graduation from the prestigious New York High School of Music and Art in Manhattan, he attended the City College of New York and received a degree in music, later acquiring a second degree in engineering. During his career as an electrical engineer, he worked at Honeywell, Raytheon, and Delco. Changing careers in the 1980s, he became a self-employed tax preparer and accountant and continued this work until his passing.

Paul was passionate about music.

He played French horn for the Santa Barbara Symphony from 1972-1979 as well as with Santa Barbara Civic Light Opera and other local orchestras. He also played oboe, piano, cello, bassoon, recorder, harpsichord, and the viola da gamba. His knowledge of composers, compositions, and funny stories about each was encyclopedic. He enjoyed playing music with Barbara and friends, and as the music filled the room it also filled his heart.

Paul and Barb explored many European countries together, learning the architecture, enjoying the museums, and everywhere finding good music.

A day was not complete without a New York Times crossword puzzle (always completed), his daily walk in the neighborhood, a movie on Netflix, and a gourmet meal. He was a Grandmaster of Chess, and had been an avid tennis

player.

On Saturday, November 7, there will be an Open House Memorial gathering at Paul and Barbara’s home in Goleta from 3-5pm. Donations in Paul’s memory may be made to: Santa Barbara Symphony, in care of the YS private lessons program, 1330 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Peter W. Ehlen

01/05/33-10/01/15

Peter W. Ehlen, beloved husband, father, respected Santa Barbara Structural Engineer and esteemed watercolor artist, passed away peacefully on Oct. 1, 2015, with his wife, Jean Clarke Ehlen, and immediate family at his bedside.

Peter had been courageously navigating his gradual decline from Parkinson’s Disease with Lewy Body Dementia.

During his illness he never complained and was always smiling and thankful.

Peter was the only child born to John Henry Ehlen and Paula Weller Ehlen in Pasadena on Jan. 5, 1933. He grew up in Pasadena but made many trips over the summer months to the Midwest to visit cousins and to Orange, California, to visit his paternal grandparents and cousins and the legendary Ehlen and Grote mercantile store started by his grandfather. During his youth, Peter was a member of the Pasadena Boy’s Choir and was chosen from 200 boys for a 20-boy choir that sang with the San Francisco Grand Opera Company in a production of “Boris Godounoff” in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

He also sang in “La Boheme” and “Carmen” at the age of 12. He was in school leadership and lettered in football and track in both jr. high and high School.

He envisioned starting his college career in Architecture at UC Berkeley but changed course to major in civil engineering when given the opportunity to attend Stanford University. Graduating from Stanford in 1955 in Civil Engineering, Peter then spent two years in Anchorage, Alaska as a private in the Army and was newly wed. After his service he and his wife moved to Santa Barbara and started a family. He was blessed with three children, Pete, Mark and Alison.

Peter leaves a strong structural engineering legacy in the City of Santa Barbara. Many of the Santa Barbara engineers currently in practice today worked for him and benefited from his mentorship and generosity. He began his career working for Don Shugart and Stan Mendes as well as being lead engineer at Arendt Mosher Grant Architects. In 1963 he returned to Stanford to pursue a Master’s degree in their new structural engineering program.

Upon graduation he returned to Santa Barbara with his young family and opened his own structural engineering

practice in 1966. The office and legacy continues to this day at 1119 Garden Street as Ehlen, Spiess & Haight, Inc. He will be remembered for his professional one-liners as well as the invention of the “System 1000” drafting system.

Peter was inspired by the natural beauty of our local environment and appreciated the history of Santa Barbara and the many historically significant buildings that are our treasured and protected structures. Being an avid enthusiast of California history, Peter loved to visit the Museum of Natural History and the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. He also appreciated the walking paths and beauty of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. With a keen eye for the beauty in older buildings, Peter joined the Victoria Street Group (Bill Mahan, Ed Lenvik, Fred Sweeney, Jack Dewey), a small group of Santa Barbarans who painted every Saturday and exhibited their work at shows.

Many of Peter’s paintings hang in private collections as well as the Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel.

Peter loved listening to Handel’s “Messiah,” cutting the grass while smoking a cigar, overnight hikes to Forebush Flat, riding his bicycle, buying a new bicycle, chocolate, The Awhanee Lodge at Yosemite, The Copper Coffeepot, Casa Blanca Restaurant, train rides, running, sailing, teasing architects, selling paintings, geology and the mystery of earthquakes.

Peter loved to sail on “Wet Wednesdays” with longtime friends Tom and Nancy Bollay. This friendship included trips from running the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco to masterfully building creations for the yearly sand castle contest on East Beach (making sure that the castles were structurally sound). They traveled to Italy and gained new inspiration for painting.

Week #6 at Stanford Sierra Camp on Fallen Leaf Lake near Lake Tahoe was an annual family tradition beginning when his children were young to years spent with his adult children and grandchildren. This will be forever a special place in all of his children and grandchildren’s hearts who were able to enjoy the magic of that week with their grandpa.

During his children’s high school and college years, Peter was a supportive fan of all of their sporting events, becoming a driver for many of his daughter Alison’s track team members for meets out of town. He visited their colleges and took great pride in his three children’s professional lives that would unfold after college graduation.

He always made an effort to see his children at least once a year, no matter where they lived.

In September of 2000, Peter married his beloved Jean Clarke in a beautiful ceremony in the courtyard of the Covarrubias Adobe surrounded by their closest family and friends. This marked the beginning of a time of great happiness and travel, shared watercolor painting interest, CAMA concerts and the welcoming of new family members and grandchildren. Thanks go to mutual friends Mary Jean and John Van Dyke for setting them up on a blind date.

Peter will be missed by his loving wife Jean, his son Pete (Vicki) Ehlen and their children Ryan, Heather and

Bernward Thorsch 04/27/20-10/11/15

Bernward Thorsch (Berny) was born in Dresden Germany on 27 April 1920, and he passed away on 11 October 2015, in Santa Barbara. His father Benno Thorsch (deceased) owned Kamera Werkstatten, a company that produced innovative cameras and photographic equipment. The Thorsch family left Germany in 1938 because of their Jewish ancestry. Soon after arriving in the United States, Berny was drafted.

After three rounds of boot camp and teaching German to the troops going to Europe, the Air Force discovered Berny’s mechanical expertise and photographic skills. Berny developed and designed air-reconnaissance equipment, which was tested and perfected on B-17 bombers during his deployment in Panama City, Panama.

After receiving an honorable discharge in 1946, Berny returned to the United States where he first worked at a photographic business in Denver, Colorado. In 1946, Berny and his wife, Doris Rhynard Thorsch (married 1945) and young son Ronald moved to California to work with his father, Benno Thorsch, at Studio City Camera Exchange on Ventura Boulevard. During 62 years as a business owner, Berny was active in the Studio City Chamber of Commerce and he was a 50-year member of the Studio City Rotary Club. His 50-year perfect-attendance pin was one of his most treasured possessions.

Berny was a mountain climber, glider pilot, sailor, bicyclist, photographer and adventurer extraordinaire.

Joining the Sierra Club in 1953, Berny loved the summer backpacking trips in the Sierras and throughout the western United States. Berny purchased one of the first Kelty backpacks when Mr. Kelty was selling them out of his garage.

The aircraft-aluminum framed pack was the only one Berny used on all of his adventures.

Berny moved to Santa Barbara to be close to his daughter Jennifer in 2008 after the death of his wife, Doris. His failing eyesight did not deter his desire for adventure and love of photography.

Soon after arriving, Berny joined the Braille Institute of Santa Barbara, which became a very important part of his life.

The stimulating classes, the dedicated teachers, and the enduring friendships he made enhanced his life beyond measure.

In 2010, at the age of 90, Berny and his family traveled to his place of birth in Dresden, Germany, and to Sankt Gallen, Switzerland, where he attended the Institute auf dem Rosenberg from 1934-37. While in Dresden, the family visited the Technische Sammlungen, a museum dedicated to local technology and photography. The Director

ocTobEr 22, 2015

and Curator of Photography pro proposed hosting an exhibition about the Thorsch camera factory in Dresden. In September 2011, the exhibition entitled “The Picture You Will Get opened. The exhibition and warm welcome the family received in Dresden was one of the most memorable and important life events for Berny.

Berny’s passion for photography took him all over the world from Africa to Tibet. Berny continued to take photographs (not pictures) with a Canon 35 mm film camera (no digital camera for Berny), even when his eyesight was nearly gone. Berny’s photographs demonstrate his unique sense of composition and ability to capture the moment when the light is perfect. In 2012, an exhibition of his work,“Insight: The Blind Photographer” was held at the Braille Institute.

Berny is survived by his daughter Jennifer Thorsch (Charles Kaska) and their son Benjamin (Cynthia); his two granddaughters from his son Ronald Thorsch (deceased), Brooke Yamamura (Brian) and Carrie Thorsch; and greatgrandchildren Dylan, Tyler, Presley, Autumn and Ashland.

The family wishes to thank the nurses and doctors at Cottage Hospital for their excellent care. Dr. Kyle Lemon dedicated his recent bicycle ride supporting the Arthritis Foundation California Coast Classic to Berny. We also thank Serenity House for exceptional care and compassion during his final days.

Memorial donations may be made to Santa Barbara Braille Institute, 2031 De La Vina Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93105.

Tomi Lin (“Tomi”) Bortolazzo, 53, who was born and raised in Santa Barbara and practiced medicine and surgery for 21 years, died October 13. She died unexpectedly of natural causes at her family home in Mammoth Lakes, CA. She was the daughter of Thomas Bortolazzo of Santa Barbara and Ara McDavid Fancher Croce of El Granada, CA. At the time of her death, Tomi was Chief of Staff at Mammoth Hospital in Mammoth Lakes and a member of the medical staff at Northern Inyo Hospital in Bishop. Before moving to

Mammoth, Tomi practiced for 11 years with the San Antonio Urology Medical Group in Upland. In 2002, she became the first woman and youngest person ever to serve as Chief of Staff at San Antonio Community Hospital.

In addition to her career in medicine and surgery, Tomi was an instrument rated pilot and gifted athlete, and a particularly fine skier. It was her love of skiing, the mountains and the outdoors that led her to move with her husband and children to Mammoth Lakes in 2005. Besides skiing, she and her family enjoyed hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, waterskiing and motocross.

Tomi was born on January 16, 1962, in Santa Barbara where she attended Cold Spring School, Marymount, and graduated in 1979 from Santa Barbara High School. She received her undergraduate degree in biochemistry and cell biology from UC San Diego in 1984, her medical degree from Chicago Medical School at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in 1988 and completed her residency in surgery and urology at Loma Linda University Medical Center. She was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and was certified by the American Board of Urology.

In addition to her parents, Tomi is survived by her husband Ron Malm; sons Randy and Russell; grandmother Joyce McDavid Douglas; stepfather Rich Croce; brother Aaron Bortolazzo; sister-in-law Yolon Bortolazzo and their children, Janelle, Patricia and Matthew and their families; sister Alessandra Bortolazzo; brother Keith Croce and sister Carolyn Cullins and their families; uncle and aunt Kenneth and Kathy Bortolazzo and their family; uncle Fred Rogers and his family; aunts Marcia McDavid, Marianne Daughty, Ehrin Abram and uncle Alex McDavid and their families; cousins Michelle Savoy and Ariana Barrett; and paternal relatives in Crespano del Grappa, Italy.

Beyond her personal achievements, she was very proud of her family and their successes. Her son Randy, a former member of the Mammoth Ski Team, is a recent graduate of Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Her son Russell was recently named to the United States Ski Team and will be participating in the Winter Youth Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, in February 2016.

A celebration of Tomi’s life will be held on Sunday, October 25, at 2:00 p.m. at the Main Lodge of Mountainside Conference Center, 10001 Minaret Rd., Mammoth Lakes, 93546. Rev. Fred C. Plumer will lead the gathering.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Mammoth Hospital Foundation, P.O. Box 660, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 (mammothhospital. com) or Mammoth Lakes Foundation, P.O. Box 1815, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 (mammothlakesfoundation.org).

All who knew Tomi recognized the purpose, clarity and decisiveness with which she filled her days. Friends, relatives and patients admired the cool calm and confidence with which she navigated the challenges of life. Time and again, seemingly oblivious to dif difficulties and hazards, she performed while we felt privileged to act as witnesses.

In all my half-century-plus in newspaper work, after many thousands of words, this is the hardest column I ever wrote and no doubt my last.

Sue was the happiest woman I ever knew.

She always woke up with a smile and headed out to feed her cats, put out the flag of the day, and uncovered the tarp from her curbside free library.

It had been a wonderful day. We had coffee at her favorite spot, shopped for food for one of her special dishes, and spent the rest of the day on the front porch of our San Roque home she loved so much.

She read on the sofa, cradled her cat, black-and-white Figaro, a stray that adopted her, and talked with her brother Peter about another of her front-yard projects.

Later, as we lolled on the deck in the gloaming, we decided that it was a perfect night for our annual martini: gin, a splash of vermouth, and a tiny onion.

Life seemed perfect. Sue waited until she was 50 to marry, and I was the lucky guy who’d come to do research in the News-Press library where she worked. She was impressed at the time and effort I spent, though I paid little attention to this kid in jeans.

Sue was a Bishop High grad and former journalism student at Santa Barbara City College, and she was a star athlete at both

to do the work alone, but she loved it until the day she resigned.

At first, Sue couldn’t cook, spoiled by the steaming Italian dinners her parents, Peter and Vivian De Lapa, served up. But gradually, thanks to her usual enthusiasm, TV shows, and dozens of cookbooks she collected, she became a highly skilled cook and tackled demanding French and Italian recipes.

The results she would happily share with friends, family, and neighbors, sometimes leaving a slice or two for me. She never forgot a birthday, even when people failed to remember hers.

And she always took time to respect the date of her parents’ deaths and that of her late brother, David.

Sue was generous, ready to give away something a person admired, so generous that I would tell her, “One day I’ll come home and the house will be bare.”

owned a home, but when it came time to sell and move on, we signed escrow papers with our friend, realtor Diane Waterhouse, and set out for a new place. Diane drove us to a San Roque home, and we got out. “That’s it,” Sue said.“A long driveway, a big garage, and a front porch.”

“Don’t you even want to see the inside before deciding?” I asked.

“No, that’s it.”And it was. She planted tomatoes, created a Sacred Space in the back with Peter’s help, and they later built a front-yard patio, complete with fire ring and a row of chairs, where she loved to sit and read, cat on her lap.

With an opera singer father, Sue grew up with the great arias in her ears. The classical music station, KUSC, played all day.

Sue was an amateur photographer, and her photos often adorned my column, although she was very modest about her work — and everything else.

Late that delightful day I described, Sue suffered a fatal heart attack. (Thanks to paramedics, firefighters, and police who responded and the caring people at Cottage Hospital.)

There are tears in my eyes as I write this and pain in my heart because I will never again enjoy life with this wonderful woman who relished every day. A celebration of her life may be announced later.

Appreciate the Coyote

I

object to The Independent’s scare tactics about the coyote [independent.com/coyotescare]. I have 20 years of experience living near them. They frequently walk through my property and live near my house. Wild spaces are around where I live and several walking trails that I use daily. I often see them on my walks, and I have never been harmed, bothered by them, or seen the least bit of aggression. Once I rounded a blind corner and surprised a pack of them. They quickly scattered off away from me.

I appreciate that they help the ecology in their diet of mice, rabbits, ground squirrels, other small rodents, insects, even reptiles, and the fruits and berries of wild — Nancy Hill, Summerland plants.

Jewish Lives Matter

H

ere we go again. Israel is once again being attacked by coordinated acts of violence encouraged by the leaders of Hamas and the U.S.-funded Palestinian Authority.

And what are President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry’s responses? It is Israel’s fault because of increased settlements. Nonsense. The Jewish people throughout the world and Israel are being attacked

by Jew-hating jihadists who want to annihilate them.

The bottom line: When innocent people are attacked, they have a right to defend themselves, whether in America or in Israel.

And why aren’t American leaders, especially the Jews, saying “Never Again”?

Not Randy Rowse

I

disagree with your endorsement of Randy Rowse.

His original appointment to City Council was the result of a messy process, the product of extremist views on the council, and at the behest of right-leaning activism. As usual, the liberal left on the council was agreeable to negotiate; the acerbic right wing would not negotiate.

Rowse had served “his” community in the appointed position of the very narrowly focused Downtown Parking Committee, which was a beneficiary of an easy slush fund of property tax diversions called the Redevelopment Agency.

Rowse vigorously supported traffic calming in his Mesa neighborhood while simultaneously voting against much-needed traffic calming in other more needy and less-represented neighborhoods. He flashed an M sign and said, “Go Mesa,” an insensitive gesture given the unjust and expensive gang injunction ongoing at the time.

Given Rowse’s selectivity, or his allegiances, I would not feel confident of his deliberations in the MesaWestside District 2 neighborhoods. He has a less-thanempathetic trait, something that you should not want for your district or for the city at large.

show that fault lines threatening the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant are more complex and interconnected than Diablo’s designers could have known. This complexity negates the seismic predictions used to justify the plant’s location. Unfortunately, we now know that the network of earthquake faults nearby and underneath PG&E’s nuclear facility could be activated by a mega-thrust earthquake far to the north, at the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Subduction-zone earthquakes are the most powerful quakes in the world and can exceed magnitude 9.0.

The Cascadia, which begins near Vancouver Island, is a 620-mile-long fault line that intersects the San Andreas Fault just off Cape Mendocino in Northern California. This region of powerful and unpredictable earthquakes connects directly to the Diablo Canyon site. After evaluating the U.S. nuclear power facilities in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently ranked the aging Diablo Canyon nuclear plant as uniquely vulnerable to unanticipated seismic activity, a “Group One … hazard.”

In the early ’60s, Pacific Gas & Electric first chose Bodega Bay as the site for its proposed nuclear plant. The company began excavating the foundation, but then a fault line was discovered on-site, and that nixed the plan for Bodega Bay. PG&E then proposed a spot fairly close to where the Diablo Canyon plant sits today. This second location also got crossed off the list because of faults. When, finally, construction of the Diablo Canyon nuclear facility began near Avila Beach, PG&E maintained that there were no active faults within 30 miles of the facility. The plant was originally designed to withstand a magnitude 6.75 earthquake but was later upgraded to weather a magnitude 7.5 shaker. Unknown at the time, the plants’ two reactors were situated near undiscovered faults.

For more than 30 years, seismologists have argued that the utility companies have underestimated the seismic threat to their nuclear facilities, especially Diablo Canyon’s redesigned structural supports. In 2011, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ranked Diablo Canyon as the nation’s nuclear plant most vulnerable to earthquakes. In 2012, Michael Peck, who for five years was lead NRC inspector at Diablo Canyon, argued that the plant was no longer operating within its license and that it should be shut down until PG&E demonstrated that the reactors and other equipment could survive earthquakes on the newly discovered faults. In a letter sent to PG&E on May 13, 2015, the NRC revealed that Diablo Canyon is classified as one of the nation’s two “Group One” nuclear facilities “that have the highest re-evaluated hazard relative to the original plant seismic design.”

Recognized only recently, the Diablo Cove Fault Line runs east to west directly under the Unit One Reactor and turbine building! The fault underneath the facility is connected to the entire network of faults. About a quarter mile west of the facility, the Diablo Cove Fault cuts across the seismically active Shoreline Fault, itself only recently discovered. The Shoreline is connected to the feared Hosgri Fault, a component of the San Andreas Fault System. Because this location is so tectonically active, and the system of faults is so complex, no one can predict safety with confidence. The Diablo Cove Fault, the Shoreline Fault, the Hosgri Fault, the San Andreas Fault, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone are all seismically linked, and the power stored within the combined network of fault systems could create n an earthquake sufficient to exceed Diablo Canyon’s safeguards.

sharks alive T he hammerhead struck from the deep blue, jaws agape,

blindsiding the spearfisherman across his left hip and forearm. For a split second, the blunt force of the impact made him think a jet ski or sailboat had hit him. When he turned to look, the narrow view through his dive mask filled with the hammerhead’s big black right eye. For another fraction of a second, he thought the eye was his own, as water often plays reflective tricks. But when the eyeball’s transparent membrane blinked, he knew exactly what he was facing. “Oh, no!” was his silent scream. Then came a violent swirl of bubbles, teeth, and blood.

This shark attack, which occurred on September 20 off the backside of Santa Cruz Island, is just one of several recent close encounters between humans and arguably the world’s most-feared predator. In the past six weeks alone, with the magnetic weather and exceptionally warm water, great white sharks have buzzed stand-up paddlers in Goleta Bay and flipped a kayak fisherman at Horseshoe Reef, off Summerland. Another kayaker, near Gaviota, repeatedly thwacked an aggressive hammerhead with an oar as the shark kept circling. This spearfisherman’s run-in, however, is the closest we’ve come to a fatality since October 23, 2012, when 39-year-old Francisco Javier Solorio Jr. was pronounced dead on the sand after getting bitten by a 15-foot great white while surfing at Lompoc’s notoriously shark-y Surf Beach.

Earlier this month, the spearfisherman, Matt (his last name has been withheld to respect his privacy), did agree, reluctantly at first, to tell his story to a few dozen, mostly younger spearfishermen gathered over slices and pitchers at a downtown pizza parlor.

Matt’s initial hesitation dissolved when he realized his talk could save lives. He also wanted to throw a wrench of truth into the churning rumor mill. Within a few hours of the attack, wild stories had already begun to spread. In Carpinteria, a group of fishermen declared Matt had it coming after they heard that he had deliberately stalked and speared the hammerhead. Meanwhile, in Hawai‘i, his friends had gotten word that the shark wasn’t a hammerhead, but a great white, one of the ocean’s largest known species of man-eaters. Back home others speculated about the speed and comfort of his water rescue and helicopter medivac back to the mainland, when in fact he’d returned to Santa Barbara Harbor on the boat in which he had been fishing.

The True sT sTory ory oF oa

haaMM MMerhead erhead aTT aTTack ack oFFFF san anTTTaa cruz ruz island by keiTh haMM

Free Fishing

Matt has been spearfishing and foraging coastally since the mid1970s, growing up along the prolific waters of Monterey Bay. In 1981, he enrolled at UCSB, where he was a Division 1 swimmer, and started beach and boat diving along the coast and out at the islands. Now 51, he’s become a highly respected badass in spearfishing communities at home and abroad, diving about 50 days a year, mainly going after lobster, white sea bass, yellowtail, and tuna and other open-ocean species. His peers call him pru prudent and bright, a quiet leader and mentor.

Like any self-respecting spearfisherman, Matt never dives with a tank of supplemental air (exhaled bubbles spook fish, anyway).

He holds his breath—or free dives—propelling through open water and kelp forests with elongated swim fins and wielding the underwater equivalent of a crossbow and its razor-sharp spear tip. Breath-hold spearfishing is a primitive form of hunting which puts a terrestrial species into otherworldly oceanic territories fundamentally adverse to a relatively hairless, blubber-less air breather. There’s something to be said about a form of hunting that forces a good diver to adapt to a foreign world and discriminate by species and size before firing a single shot. The stealth, patience, and accuracy of it all take a lot of practice, but eventually some big fish will get the point.

MeeTing The haMMerhead ha

About 10 minutes before the hammerhead changed Matt’s life forever, he’d dove on a school of yellowtail, abundant this year off Southern California, thanks to El You-Know-Who. Leveling off 20 feet beneath the surface, he drew on a nice 12-pounder about 15 feet away and released the stainless-steel arrow, known as the shaft. The pierced yellow died instantly—Matt had “stoned it”— it” and he pulled hand over hand on the shooting line, which attaches the shaft to the gunstock, to haul in his first fish of the day.

HUNT/CATCH: (first page) A hunter of shadows, himself a shade, a free diver scans the kelp for his next meal. Above, Ventura’s Terry Maas holds his 398-pound, world-record Pacific bluefin tuna, set during 1982’s El Niño.

He then made a decision he would soon regret. The boat, which belonged to a friend who was also hunting nearby, was anchored about 150 yards away, up current.

So instead of swimming the bloody yellow back to the ice chest, Matt strung it to his weight belt with a short length of cable called a stringer.

At that point, Matt was buzzing in the advanced stages of adrenaline and perceived immortality that comes with successful apex predation: He’s alone in the vast Pacific with a homemade speargun, and he’s just held his breath, immersed himself on the fringes of a bountiful kelp forest to stalk and dispatch his next meal with bull’s-eye precision. Fulfilling that genetic imperative put a smile on his face, and with the dead yellow dangling off his right hip, he reloaded. A few minutes later, another big school of yellows arrived.

Same drill, and he’d speared a second fish. But this one was still alive, swimming frantic circles tight against the shooting line as Matt ascended to catch his breath.

Then it happened.

shark repellanTs

Replaying the attack over and over again in the coming days on his couch at home — pushing through the post-traumatic stress — Matt was baffled why the hammerhead had not gone for the dead fish on his stringer. It charged in from the opposite direction and “tried to take me out,” he said.

During the first moments of the attack, Matt instinctually flipped through every trick in his mental book of shark repellants. Poke it in the eyes. Punch it in the gills.

Ram it with the butt of his speargun. Matt had firsthand experience with these normally successful techniques from when he’d been attacked a few years ago on a trip to the tropics. In one instance, he was swarmed by a half-dozen Galapagos sharks—but never bitten.

Fortunately, the hammerhead got a bigger mouthful of Matt’s wetsuit than of his flesh — he would only need a handful of stitches — but his instantaneous demotion from King Neptune’s court to someplace lower on the food chain shook him to his core — as did the crimson cloud growing around him. Like most spearfishermen, he’s used to blood in the water. But this time, it was his.

Jagged teeth snapping just inches from Matt’s upper body and face, the hammerhead kept lunging and lunging. During the struggle, Matt’s dive mask came loose and filled with water. Meanwhile, the freshly speared yellowtail below—still connected to the gun by 23 feet of shooting line — was slowly looping Matt’s legs in a loose hogtie. Now on his back, partially submerged, with the shark on top of him, its back arched and its broad tail slapping against the surface of the water, Matt didn’t dare drop his guard to reach for the knife strapped to his leg.

“I felt like I was being sucked in by the energy of the shark, that the whole ocean was against me,” he remembered. “Why am I so far from the boat? Why am I diving alone? Why did I put this dead yellowtail on my stringer? Why won’t this shark stop?”

That last question is a good one, answered in part by all the warm water we’re experiencing, according to Dr. Chris Lowe, director of the Shark Lab at California State University, Long Beach.“Historical records show that smooth hammerheads [common from northern Baja to Cabo San Lucas] come up here during warm-water events like the one we’re having now. But there’s less food for them up here. They’re great scroungers; they steal fish from fishermen all the time. And in almost every case where a fisherman or diver says that a smooth hammerhead was being aggressive, there was dead fish or blood in the water. But if you were just out swimming or snorkeling, it would be very rare for them to approach you.” conTinued

The recent uptick in shark encounters should come as no surprise, Lowe added. “Shark populations are going up, we think,” in no small part to fisheries management. A boon for sharks was 1990’s Proposition 132, an initiated constitutional amendment banning near-shore gill nets, which had been inadvertently killing all sorts of sharks.

Since 1994, great whites have been protected in California, and since last year, scalloped hammerheads have been protected under the Endangered Species Act. On top of that, during the past few decades, much more of Southern California’s offshore waters have been designated as marine protected areas off-limits to fishermen. And starting in 2012, our neighbors to the south shortened their historic 24-7, 365 shark-fishing season with an annual moratorium on commercial take between May 1 and July 31, when many species reproduce, according to Dr. Oscar Sosa-Nishizaki with the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education, in Ensenada, Mexico.

CourTesy of Terry Maas

JaMes forTe, turnerforte.com

c o v e r

SAVED FROM THE DEPTHS: Pictured is a simulation of Terry Maas’s Freedivers Recovery Vest, which automatically inflates if a diver goes too deep or too long.

The hammerhead kept coming at Matt, now floating on his back, dive mask down around his neck. Just as he was running out of retaliatory options, Matt felt a bump against his right side. It was the speared yellowtail. As the hammerhead’s teeth snapped toward his face, Matt grabbed the wounded fish and shoved it in the shark’s gaping mouth. And just like that, the hammerhead turned away. A wave of relief flooded Matt’s pounding heart. “I’m not going to die.”

Then things got really dangerous.

As the hammerhead dove with the speared yellow in its jaws, the shooting line — still pierced through the fish — tightened it’s hogtie around Matt’s legs. Realizing what was about to happen, on the verge of panic, he took a deep breath just a split second before getting dragged under.

Oddly, any signs of panic faded away in the absurdity of the situation. The skies were blue and the ocean calm, the early-afternoon light refracted gold through warm, clear, familiar water. Ten feet down, his chest tightening with the first signs of oxygen deprivation, Matt decided: “There’s no way I’m going out like this.”

With both hands now relieved of shark-defense duty, Matt’s impulse was to fetch his dive knife to cut free the line tightening around both legs. But he quickly realized he had made another potentially deadly mistake: The shooting line was not his normal rigging of standard fishing-pole monofilament but rather the braided steel cable more common to his adventures in Mexico. His knife wasn’t gonna cut it. At this point, he’d been holding his breath for nearly 25 seconds, which, considering the situation, was a very long time.

Matt tried kicking toward the surface, but his legs were bound together. He switched to a dolphin kick, both legs in unison, perfected long ago during Division 1 butterfly workouts.

As Matt ascended slightly, the shark’s head jerked sideways as the shooting line deep down its throat, still attached to the yellowtail, tightened. The shark fought against it, the back-andforth jerking of its head creating brief moments of slack where Matt was able to unloop wraps of shooting line from around his legs. He tried for another, but he was now desperately out of breath. Then, in a last push to survive, Matt spun his entire body, unwrapping himself just as the darkness of unconsciousness started to creep in from the edges of his vision. At last, he burst onto the surface, sucking sweet air.

Calming down, Matt grabbed his first fish off the stringer and held it by the gills, ready to shove it down another shark throat should the opportunity present itself. Then he swam as fast as he could toward the boat, screaming for his friend and any other divers that happened to be nearby to get the hell out of the water. It later occurred to Matt that this would have been a good time to blow on a whistle strapped to his wrist. Except he didn’t have it with him. Perhaps it was time for free divers — especially buddy groups — to start wearing them.

On the lifesaving front, veteran spearfisherman and Ventura resident Terry Maas, 71, has finally, after about 12 years in the works, created what he considers to be the latest and best version of a computer-controlled buoyancy vest that automatically inflates when a free diver has been underwater deeper or longer than his or her preset parameters. Sharks, Maas points out, are the least of a free diver’s worries.

The sport’s biggest killer is drowning caused by blacking out when divers stay down too long.

Often, the lights go out instantly.

In the struggle with a freshly speared fish or in the scramble for lobsters, a diver’s body, which until then has been in the Zen state of the patient hunter, begins to rapidly burn up oxygen. “Just focusing on a goal so intently, TABLES TURNED: Above, the 10-foot hammerhead is our normal body functions are photographed just before release. Below, spearfisherman Matt has a newly ventilated wetsuit. ignored,” Maas said.

Maas, who’s held the spearfishing world record for Pacific bluefin tuna, at 398 pounds, since 1982, lists drowning by line entanglement as the sport’s second-biggest killer.“A 30-pound fish can drag you under very easily,” he said. Boat strikes are the third culprit. Fatality by shark comes in a very distance fourth. Encounters are rare, and very seldom result in anything more than an accelerated heart rate. In the 56 years that Maas has been diving, he’s interacted with tiger sharks but never even seen a great white, though his best friend was killed by one in 1971 near Guadalupe Island, 150 miles off the west coast of the Baja peninsula.

“That tragedy actually made me a better diver because I was always looking around for predators after that,” Maas said.“I would say that Matt has a couple of really good years ahead of him, looking over this shoulder.“

hoMe FroM The sea

After a frantic sprint, Matt reached the safety of the boat. Small streams of blood pumped from his left hip through the jagged holes in his wetsuit. He yelled to his buddy to get out of the water. They motored to a nearby boat, frantically waving to a pair of free divers drifting nearby — a man and his 14-year-old son, who had just speared his first yellowtail.

With all divers out of the water and shock still numbing Matt’s mind to the psychic repercussions of the attack, he pointed the boat back toward the scene, hoping to retrieve his speargun. He had abandoned it during his fight with the shark, but he didn’t think it would be too hard to spot. He had rigged the butt of the gunstock with a long length of buoyant rope, to which he had fastened a small red buoy.

On the outside edge of the kelp forest, they spotted the buoy. Matt started hauling in the float line, effortlessly at first. Then he felt some weight on it. He looked down into the clear water. There was the hammerhead, alive, with the shooting line deep in its gullet, the swallowed yellowtail still strung by the cable and the attached spear shaft hanging out the other side of its mouth.

Matt got a good look at the now-listless hammerhead that had nearly killed him. It was about 10 feet long, bigger than your typical 8-footer but well short of the big guys — 14-footers —reported on occasion.

Carefully hoisting the hammerhead along the gunnel, Matt couldn’t help imagining how its jaws or even its entire head would look mounted on a wall at home. For a moment he stared into its big black eye, previously full of bloodthirsty aggression but now sedate and empty.

“Then a thought came to me,” Matt remembered. “He had me. Now I have him. Let’s call it even.” He asked his buddy to hand him the cable cutters. Matt snipped the shooting line and quickly retrieved both ends of the cable and the spear shaft. The hammerhead was free.

It turned away from the boat and swam slowly into the deep blue.

History

Seniors Spin Ceramics for Empty Bowls Text and photo by Caitlin Fitch “I know hunger in America is a terrible problem, even here in Santa Barbara, and this is just a great way to raise money and awareness,” said Betsy Kain (right) while she and other Samarkand retirement community residents glazed bowls that they lovingly crafted during a weekly ceramics class. The bowls will be donated to Empty Bowls Santa Barbara for its 18th annual benefit luncheon, which each year raises thousands of dollars for the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County. The goal of the group at Samarkand was to make at least 20 bowls, which they have already surpassed. The class is not only for a good cause; it’s also fun. “There’s nothing not to like about this,” said Julie Fisher (left), who’s lived there for 15 years. “It’s creative and not too difficult.” This year’s lunch is on Sunday, November 1, at Page Youth Center (4540 Hollister Ave.).

r Mike Libecki Antarctica

Climbs Untamed Lands

f there’s a remote rock spire or mountain unseeable on Google Earth and almost completely untouched by humans, chances are Mike Libecki climbed it. The intrepid National Geographic explorer specializes in first ascents, daring to be the first human on the world’s most isolated peaks. This Sunday, he comes to UCSB with Untamed Antarctica, the first in a series of UCSB Arts & Lectures’ National Geographic Live presentations, in which he will describe his experience scaling Bertha’s Tower, a nearly inaccessible rock spire in one of the coldest, windiest, farthest-from-anywhere locales on earth.

A consummate adventurer, Libecki has made 65-plus expeditions — with another 23 already on the way— that have taken him from Greenland to Papua way New Guinea. Though passionately, even obsessively, drawn to the thrilling allure of uncharted climbs, he is equally passionate about adventuring with a broader purpose, whether it be bringing solar panels to villages in Kyrgyzstan or conducting DNA research with Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation.

Libecki’s main partner in crime is his 12-year-old daughter, Lilliana, who’s already touched seven continents and 15 countries with dad, constantly learning

the value of optimism and faith in oneself. “You have to have belief, courage, perseverance, and you have to be patient,” said the elder Libecki. “All of these words apply to expeditions and everyday life.”

Libecki’s presentation will center on the joys and struggles of climbing in an environment as mysterious, unexplored, and harsh as Antarctica, but he says connecting with unknown cultures is just as important as connecting with unknown lands. “What’s more important than getting to know our planet, getting to know our people?” he asked. “There is the wild, but just as important are the cultures and the people of the world that you don’t know. Anything mysterious is real adventure and education.”

— Richie DeMaria

Mike Libecki’s Untamed Antactica is Sunday, October 25. Future Nat Geo Live talks at UCSB include presentations on forest canopies, big cats, and Spinosaurs. See artsandlectures

Lanny Ebenstein Pens

‘The Rise of UCSB’

L

anny Ebenstein, Santa Barbara’s long-serving education and economics buff, recently published a sweeping article called “The Rise of UCSB” in Noticias, the journal of the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. With a subdued tone pierced with some punchy language, the alum and now teacher at UCSB walks the reader through the university’s transformation from the late 1950s, when UC Regents purchased a former military base for $10 and moved the expanding Riviera campus nine miles west, to recent efforts in controlling Isla Vista, the place he believes could be a real hindrance to UCSB’s ability to attract increasingly high-caliber students.

“When the college was in [the city of] Santa Barbara, it really was a liberal-arts school,” explained Ebenstein. “It has kind of transitioned from the emphasis on the social sciences to an emphasis on the natural sciences.” Among other achievements, he notes its state-of-the-art stem-cell-research lab, the campus’s role in creating the precursor to the Internet, and its amazing collection of Nobel laureates.

In quick and breezy language, Ebenstein touches on the campus’s architecturally haphazard development, lamenting a “genuine architectural moment” lost, and argues the “lopsided, rushed, and inorganic growth that characterized the 1960s” continues to plague UCSB to this day. He tells short stories about the accomplishments and personal pitfalls of the university’s chancellors: Samuel Gould (talented leader whose autocratic style made him unpopular among faculty), Vernon Cheadle (credited for his academic vision but handicapped by Isla Vista eruptions), Robert Huttenback (whose arrival seemed promising but who was later convicted of using foundation funds to remodel his home kitchen), and Barbara Uehling (arrested for DUI on campus a week before her inauguration). By the time Chancellor Henry Yang showed up in 1994, which coincided with the college’s 50th anniversary, the campus community yearned for true leadership. Ebenstein paints a flattering image of Yang’s ability to attract exceptional faculty and advance knowledge, the school’s first priority.

Ebenstein leaves the readers with a sense of hopefulness about Isla Vista’s future. Last week, he expressed delight that Governor Jerry Brown signed special legislation to enable the notoriously lost and forgotten Isla Vista to morph into a special district. — Kelsey Brugger

Sofia Melograno Launches Beru Kids A

fter her first year of college, Santa Barbara resident Sofia Melograno traveled to Africa on a trip that would jump-start her humanitarian journey. “I literally booked a trip, without telling my parents, to Tanzania,” she explained. “I traveled over there for the summer, and I taught English in a little government school. It was a really short trip, but it really sparked my interest in development, particularly in East Africa.”

Melograno then spent much of her time at Trinity College engaging the student body in issues of African development and participating in humanitarian work. She helped start the campus’s African Development Coalition and worked on numerous projects, including building a village school in Guinea, a computer lab at a university in Sierra Leone, and a maternity ward in Tanzania for women without access to a hospital.

Today, Melograno runs Beru Kids, a children’s clothing line that’s dedicated to increasing educational access for girls in the rural region of Kofele, Ethiopia. Launched in October 2014, the young company sells clothes inspired by traditional African textiles and prints, and only made from dead-stock fabric, which is the unused material left over by larger brands.

To further its charitable goals, the company partners with the Tangible Hope Foundation, which is opening a community center in Kofele this fall that will provide necessary services for all residents. The center will also house the Beru Kids/Tangible Hope Women’s Sewing Cooperative, which will employ a number of women from Kofele to help create some Beru Kids products.

“I knew from working and living in east and southern Africa that unemployment is incredibly high, especially for women,” said Melograno. The workers, whose daughters are enrolled in the Tangible Hope program, will be paid a salary along with a cut of online sales.

The sewing center will make a number of Beru Kids items, but production for the main collection will remain in Los Angeles, where Melograno spends a lot of her time overseeing both quality and working conditions. “I really wanted to make sure we were not just focused on East Africa,” she explained, “but that we were also focused on the communities that are right here in Southern California.”

t 83, Setsuko Thurlow is still full of passion and principle, but she’s had enough. “We have waited 70 years,” she said of her fellow hibakusha (atomicbomb survivors). “I think the time has come.” Thurlow survived the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima when she watched her city of 350,000 shatter into heaps of bodies and rubble.

She’s since traveled the world, speaking about the terrors of nuclear weapons and fighting for disarmament.

For her lifetime of efforts, Thurlow will be presented this Sunday with the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation’s Distinguished Peace Leadership Award. Earlier this year, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She talked with me by phone from her home in Canada about why people aren’t more afraid of the big bombs, why they should be, and why the tide may finally be turning toward abolishment.

You’ve said the issue doesn’t get the attention it should. Why do you think that is? Generally, people

feel powerless, helpless. They think, “Even if I oppose it, the government will do what it wants anyway.” And because it is such a dreadful issue, people consciously and unconsciously put it out of their minds.

What in your message gets through to people the most? Sharing the massive destruction and death, the

skeletons and blackened corpses, that I witnessed with my own eyes — simply and honestly telling about my experience and thoughts. It never ceases to be painful. I have to brace myself every time. But I feel I need to provide a human face to the abstraction of nuclear weapons.

Setsuko Thurlow

create pressure to take action—write letters to politicians, to the president; stand up and be heard. Of the 16,000 nuclear weapons in the world, more than 90 percent belong to the U.S. and Russia. When Obama made his famous speech in Prague, he acknowledged that America … has a moral responsibility to lead toward disarmament. The world rejoiced at that, but since then, there’s been no action.

What makes you most afraid? I’m afraid a majority of people doesn’t realize we’re living in a nuclear age and what that means. First we have to inform ourselves. But there is a new movement around the world; a lot of young people and NGOs are involved. I see positive things on the horizon, and I am excited.

rlene Ramirez used to walk through the avocado orchards at the end of Poinsettia Way, where her dog was last seen, and call for Dakota through a bullhorn at three o’clock in the morning. She was determined to find the chocolatebrown Labrador retriever, a much-loved pet of her 14-year-old daughter, Marynicole, who was positive their dog was still alive though a month and a half had gone by since she’d bolted after being hit by a car.

Dakota had wiggled out the gate of her home on August 27 and was headed across Cathedral Oaks when she was struck by a small SUV, an accident witnessed by the youth football team practicing at Foothill School at the time. Their coach chased after Dakota but lost her up Poinsettia. September and October were terrible months for the Ramirez family, who tried to stay positive but couldn’t avoid thinking about the heat and the coyotes.

They plastered the neighborhood with posters, sent out a pet Amber alert, created Instagram and Facebook pages, and even consulted a pet psychic. A notice at the Nextdoor website resulted in several tips, but what Arlene remembers most is the concern people expressed and their assurances that they’d look for Dakota.

Then, Arlene recalled, they got a phone call from a man last Monday, who said he might have seen Dakota. Without telling their youngest, Arlene and her husband, Len Ramirez, drove to the Bosio Ranch.

While Arlene waited at the gate, Len and a ranch hand drove about four miles up a dirt road. The rancher waved toward the avocado orchard, and Len got out and walked toward the trees, calling for Dakota. He saw her buried under dried leaves, only her eyes and nose showing. She growled at him.

Len had been talking with Animal Control officers almost daily over the past weeks, asking if Dakota had been brought in. As the days passed, their conversations turned to why Dakota might not have just headed home, and Lisa Kenyon, a shelter supervisor, told Len that often a dog who’s been injured or traumatized will hide, only coming out at night, scared by the experience of a car accident and possibly distrustful of people.

Back in the orchard, Len took off his shirt and threw it to Dakota, hoping she’d recognize him by scent. She did. Dakota slowly stood up, very thin and weak, and came to him wagging her tail. Their 75-pound dog was down to 55 pounds and was missing some fur from her hind legs but had survived her “47 days in the wilderness,” as Arlene calls it.

The ordeal took a toll on Dakota. She’s become nervous and shy, and the family is working with a dog trainer. Time and Scooby snacks should do the trick, Arlene said, who added that for her family, the goodwill and help from people, businesses, and Animal Control were both amazing and humbling. “Everyone was a good neighbor, a good Samaritan,” she said. As for the man who sped off in his SUV after hitting Dakota, “We’re not mad,” Ramirez said. “We know it was an n accident. He probably feels horrible.”

W

My Awards Back Atcha

hat’s a writer without readers? That

is to say, if I write a column in the forest and no one is there to post rude comments after it … did I even

make a point?

Wired recently predicted the end of online comments sections, as Bloomberg, the Verge, the Daily Beast, and Motherboard have all eliminated the after-article comments features from their sites. I hope The Independent doesn’t follow suit. I often read the comments posted after my columns there to see what kinds of discussions are fueled, and if I’ve missed an important consideration in my thinking. Mostly, though, I find phrases like “giant turds” and “fat chicks” and comments like this one: “This is so stupid I could vomit.”

In the past year alone, anonymous commenters have called me a bitch, boob, creep, and “hysterically hateful feminist.” They’ve publicly speculated as to whether I’m trying to hide a weight problem, whether my marriage is falling apart, and what sort of lousy school system could dole out As to a child as dumb as mine must certainly be.

Even so, Santa Barbara readers named me Best Columnist last week, and I’m honored to pieces.

Thank you! In celebration, I’m doling out some awards of my own — to my Best Commenters over the past year.

The Touché Award for Making a Great Point Actual Name! Kate Johannesen After a column insisting that transgender people can’t claim the pronoun “they” as their own: “To me it feels like disapproving of ‘they’ as a genderneutral singular pronoun replacement is a lot like insisting that nobody end sentences with prepositions or split infinitives. … When it comes to ‘they,’ we’ve been using it this way for years and the younger generations show no signs of stopping, so it’s here to stay. We might as well get used to it.

Non-binary people aren’t really your biggest adversary there, anyway.”

Based on the idea that every child has a story to tell, this whimsical theater group uses stories written by elementary school kids as material for outrageous, side-splitting plays. (Approx. 60 min.)

Tracking Baseball Play-Offs, Sans Dodgers

Bill Pintard, Vin Scully, Jessica Mendoza, and More Highlights of the Major-League Season

T

ness, emotion, and passion — and without the L.A. Dodgers. They were all dressed up with the most expensive lineup in the game, but they have nowhere to go.

“The Dodgers are too pretty,” said Bill Pintard.“They’re the all-chrome team. My friend Mike Gillespie [a college coach] says,‘I want a player with a pickup-truck mentality. I don’t want a fancy car with all that chrome.’ ” Pintard looks for the same type of player every summer when he puts college ballplayers on the roster of his Santa Barbara Foresters, one of the country’s most successful amateur teams.

The Dodgers have not won the World Series since Kirk Gibson — the hardnosed former Michigan State wide receiver they acquired from the Detroit Tigers — unleashed a lightning strike with the Dodgers down to their last out in the ninth inning of the 1988 opening game.

In last Thursday’s deciding game of the divisional playoff series against the Mets, the Dodgers still had nine outs to go after they fell behind 3-2, but they meekly went down without a spark.

Pintard was impressed by the way Mets manager Terry Collins handled his team.“He deflected all the praise to his players,” Pintard said.“He didn’t let the [crude slide by L.A.’s Chase Utley into shortstop Ruben Tejada] become a distraction. He defused the controversy.”

In the National League Championship Series, Pintard said,“I like the Cubs, but I find myself rooting for the Mets.”

He has a soft spot in his heart for Collins, a fellow baseball lifer in his sixties, who weathered fierce criticism earlier in his managing career.

Pintard also has a soft spot for the Cubs and for the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, because of Gary Woods, the Foresters hitting coach who died last February.“Woody was my best friend,” Pintard said. “He was the opening-day center fielder in Toronto, and he spent most of his career with the Cubs. There’s a lot of Woody mojo in the play-offs.”

There was some wild mojo in Toronto last week in the seventh inning of the deciding game of the Blue Jays-Rangers play-off series: a catcher’s toss that caromed off a bat, allowing Texas to score a go-ahead run, followed by three Rangers errors in the bottom of the inning and a cathartic three-run homer by Jose Bautista.

“There are thousands of things going on,” Pintard said.

“That’s the beauty of baseball. You’re going to see things you’ve never seen before.”

UNFINISHED SYMPHONY: Maybe the Dodgers were destined to fail because Vin Scully was sidelined during

John Zant’s

the postseason by a medical issue. Could they really win the championship unless Scully was there to sum it up with a witty expression? Here’s hoping he recovers fully and his voice will resonate all the way through October in 2016.

I happened to listen to Scully’s play-by-play for a few minutes on August 28, when the Dodgers were playing the Cubs. It had been announced before the game that he would return for his 67th season. Between pitches, Scully playfully recited some lines he’d seen on a T-shirt displaying the “Top 10 lies told by Cub fans.” Number one was: “The Bleacher Bums drink in moderation.”

Others included “Wait ’til next year,”“We’ll never have lights,” and “Harry (Caray) is not drunk.” Then Scully — never failing to remind listeners of the score and the current situation — delved into baseball research and reported that “the most significant count of an at-bat is 1-and-1.” Who else could provide such entertainment and edification during five minutes of a baseball game?

MENDOZA’S LINES: Among Scully’s many admirers is Jessica Mendoza, who is making a name for herself

SOFTBALL TO BIG SCREEN: Onetime UCSB softball assistant coach Jessica Mendoza (seen here during the 2015 College World Series) was the first woman to broadcast from a nationally televised play-off baseball game when she was on ESPN during the Astros-Yankees Wild Card game.

in baseball broadcasting. Mendoza, an Olympic softball gold medalist and former assistant coach at UCSB, is the first woman to serve as commentator on a national telecast of a major-league play-off game. She worked alongside Dan Schulman and John Kruk while covering the Astros-Yankees Wild Card game on ESPN. “I grew up going to Dodgers games,” said Mendoza, a Camarillo native. “I listened to [Scully’s] beautiful combination of analysis and interesting stories. It’s an art. I never thought I would end up in the booth.”

Mendoza excelled on the softball diamond. She was a four-time All-American at Stanford and played left field for the U.S. team that won the championship at the Athens Olympics in 2004. As a part-time coach at UCSB, she helped the Gauchos reach the postseason in 2006.“I enjoyed it, but I learned you can’t coach people the way you did it,” she said.

“I had a ton of passion.”

ESPN producers recognized her enthusiasm, and she worked on the network’s coverage of college softball and baseball. She got a break in August when ESPN chose her to replace Curt Schilling as analyst on its Sunday Night Baseball

games. Her observations during Jake Arrietta’s no-hitter against the Dodgers earned her good reviews.

There were aspersions against her in social media, mainly objecting to her distinctly female voice. In various interviews, she deflected the criticisms as deftly as she slapped pitches away while batting .416 during her career at Stanford.

She would welcome substantive criticisms, she said, but most of the negative noise could be attributed to people’s resistance to change.

Mendoza will be back on ESPN’s baseball beat next season. She has appeared on SportsCenter during the play-offs.

After the Mets’ Game 5 victory over the Dodgers, she offered a detailed analysis of the second-inning at-bat of L.A. rookie Corey Seager against pitcher Jacob deGrom. With two men on, Seager might have blown the game open with a hit, but deGrom got him to whiff on a changeup when he was n expecting a 98 mph fastball.

GAme of the Week

10/24: College Men’s Soccer: Cal Poly at UCSB After his Cal Poly Mustangs defeated UCSB 3-2 in sudden-death overtime last Saturday, former national team coach Steve Sampson declared, “This has to be the best rivalry in college soccer.” A capacity crowd of 11,075 attended the match in San Luis Obispo, and this Saturday, the Gauchos and their fans get a chance to respond in kind. Last year’s match at Harder Stadium drew a turnout of 14,345, the second largest on-campus attendance in NCAA regular-season soccer history. UCSB is in need of a boost after two losses on the road last week reduced its lead in the Big West North standings to one point over the Mustangs. The teams’ strengths are represented by the Big West’s top scorer (Gaucho striker Nick DePuy) and leading goalkeeper (Cal Poly’s Wade Hamilton). 7pm.

Compiled by Tama Takahashi, photographed by Linda Blue, and featuring more than 70 new recipes from chefs and caterers around town, the 176-page sequel packs even more food porn and detailed gourmet recipes than the inaugural edition. And like last year, there’s a party at the Bacara Resort & Spa to celebrate the release, with more than 20 participating chefs, wine from Westerly and the Hitching Post, and more.

n a recent summer morning, the sun was strong above the rows of sangiovese that line the rolling hills of Ballard Canyon, where the earth between the vines is baked and cracked. The famous Italian wine consultant Alberto Antonini once declared that this spot “might as well be Tuscany,” but the fingers of cactus lining the roadway and a spatter of gnarled oaks are markers that this is most certainly California.

Sangiovese is a tricky grape to grow — even trickier, some argue, than pinot noir. Sangio’s thin skin makes it susceptible to sunburn, and it’s prone to over-cropping. So far, it’s suffered from a spotty reputation in the New World and doesn’t fetch anything close to the prices commanded by other varieties grown in Santa Barbara County. And yet, with a little more than 127 acres currently planted to the grape, there are a handful of Santa Barbara County producers who have not only stuck with this temperamental variety but have also come to love what it produces here.

“The grape is really happy here,” said Peter Stolpman, whose family has been making Ballard Canyon sangiovese for 20 years, now producing about 1,200 cases of it annually, including a carbonic version made from earlier-ripening fruit.

Light and refreshing, that’s best served with a chill.

Scott Cellars’ Peter Scott Fraser, who built his reputation on pinot, is also enamored. “I needed to find something I could specialize in when everyone else was already doing a great pinot,” explained Fraser, whose special attention to sangio’s reaction to different soil types is reflected on bottlings named for the dirt types rather than the vineyards.

Also producing sangiovese in Santa Barbara County are Mosby, Silver, Carr, Jonata, Toccata, Coquelicot, Buoni Anni, and Rusack, though 2013 will be the latter’s last vintage. Generally speaking, the wines are richer in flavor and endowed with a depth of structure not usually noted in their Tuscan counterparts, proving distinctly Californian. Here are some bottles to find.

armer Boy is back. Way back. Last year the family behind Brophy Bros. purchased Farmer Boy restaurant at 3427 State Street from Ralph Karleskint, who opened the eatery in 1958. After closing April 30, 2014, for a complete remodel, the Bennett family finally reopened the restaurant last week.

Regulars will be happy to know that Farmer Boy looks much the same: A counter is still the centerpiece. Even the original hanging lamps are still there. During reconstruction, crews removed the drywall and discovered 1950s-era wood paneling with silver-colored “bow tie” ornaments.

They decided to reproduce that look at the front and back of the restaurant. “We really tried to keep the integrity of what Ralph did in 1958,” said manager and co-owner Danny Quinn, who spent many years at Farmer Boy as a kid in the late 1980s and early 1990s while his mother worked at the counter.

Though the menu is new, one item made a triumphant return: the popular oversized cinnamon roll. The Restaurant Gal and I ordered one on their last day in business in 2014. I plan to return with her and the Restaurant Kid (who arrived while Farmer Boy was away) to let the little one give it a try.

I am told that former owner Karleskint has visited the restaurant a few times since it reopened.

Customer Claudia Lash was leaving as I arrived to check out the new digs, and she told me it was her fifth day in a row to eat at Farmer Boy. Lash told me to tell you that the Chicken-Fried Biscuit Sliders with Gravy are amazing and that she ordered it the last three days in a row. Lash’s friend Pat Lupo tells me that the Chicken Club Wrap is huge and terrific. Further down the menu is a hidden gem: You get unlimited refills of genuine Green Star Coffee for just $1.50.

SILVERGREENS UPDATE: Silvergreens res-

taurant at 791 Chapala Street just started serving Kyle’s Kitchen burgers, fries, and milkshakes.

“It has been great to see the community support for the Goleta restaurant,” said Jay Ferro, founder and president of Kyle’s Kitchen.“By offering Kyle’s menu, in addition to Silvergreens sandwiches, salads and bowls, we think it combines the best of both restaurants into a single location. Silvergreens has always been a destination for delicious food that’s both healthy for you and aligned with your values. We are just as passionate about REAL food as we are about supporting our local community and giving back.

“Now, every time someone chooses a Kyle’s menu item at Silvergreens on Chapala, we will donate a portion of the proceeds back to our special needs community. We think the extra donations from Silvergreens can really help the local special needs organizations. At Kyle’s Kitchen, we set a goal of giving back $50,000 to the special needs community in 2015 and are almost there!

“From a menu standpoint, we’re really excited about the options now available for our guests. In our quest for simplicity, we removed breakfast for the time being, lowered a lot of prices, and also make it very easy to add on proteins to different flavored salads and bowls. The old ‘Half & Half’ is now the ‘Pair It!’ like Kyle’s, but has more options.

Our beverage menu now includes milkshakes, which are a favorite at Kyle’s Kitchen. The new kids menu is a great combination of favorite items from both restaurants.”

n an age of online shopping and coupon hunting, most shops, restaurants, and grocery stores still offer deals every day that remain invisible outside of their building’s walls.

The new mobile app Seeker intends to bring these walk-in deals to customers who otherwise don’t have the time to go into a store and ask what discounts are being offered that week.

Santa Barbara resident Ryan Judy developed Seeker when he noticed that these deals, from happy hours to half-priced hamburger meat, were constantly changing but that he didn’t have an easy way to hear about them. “These retailers revolve their promotions on a constant basis, and the information on these promotions wasn’t making it online,” Judy said. “I realized that I wasn’t using anything that would allow me to find where to find a great two-for-one steak deal at either Vons or Albertsons.”

So he created a simple and efficient interface that store managers, restaurant owners, and anyone in retail can use to let Seeker users know a new discount is available. His growing list of partners can upload, manage, and schedule deals through Seeker, which also employs a back-end team to consistently touch base with vendors to ensure deals are timely and relevant. Seeker deals are generally posted within the last 24 to 48 hours.

The app became available in August, and those who download it will find deals organized by neighborhood and category. There’s also a “Deals

YELP WITHOUT YELPING: Barkback allows patrons to privately report problems in exchange for special deals from restaurants and other businesses.

I

f Yelp and Groupon had a baby, it would be a lot like Barkback. This new mobile app, which was developed in Santa Barbara, lets customers give private feedback to businesses in exchange for promotional offers, such as free tapas at Milk & Honey or ice cream at McConnell’s. In some cases, Barkbackers could even be rewarded with a free dinner for two at participating restaurants like Julienne.

Functioning like a “private Yelp,” according to Barkback’s Teddy Ho, the app launched in 2014 to provide a platform in which “all feedback goes directly to the owner, and it’s a two-way communication.” As opposed to Yelp’s public system, which is much maligned in the restaurant biz for a variety of reasons, Barkback lets a business owner resolve issues before they become a bigger problem.

“The owner can respond and build relationships with the customer that way,” Ho said. “It was really like a way for owners to get insights in a private and direct way and really help build their community of their users in a digital way.”

Barkback is now also offering a new loyalty program, which offers a digital alternative to that pesky paper punch card you always forget or lose.

Simply queue up the digital punch card on your phone, show it to the merchant so they can put in a pin code, and you’re done.

“We basically made a digital version so the consumer never loses it,” Ho said.“It’s all in one place, in their app, and goes wherever they go.”

Thousands now use Barkback, which notched hundreds of loyalty punches in just the first week of use. Up next for Barkback is a feature that allows users to access rewards for sharing the app with — G F friends or family.

Qupé Santa Barbara County Syrah 2012: Anyone who doesn’t know Bob Lindquist makes killer syrah simply hasn’t been paying attention for the last 30 years. This release is no exception.

Organic, biodynamic, dark fruit balanced with lots of pepper and accented by lavender, this is delicious from start to finish. With three quarters of the blend (98 percent syrah and 2 percent grenache) coming from Bien Nacido Vineyards in the Santa Maria Valley and the last quarter coming from the family’s Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard in the Edna Valley, this bottle makes a strong argument for cool-climate syrah.

For all its depth (pair it with pot roast, say), it’s only 13.5 percent alcohol, and while its suggested retail price is $30, you can often find it at a steal under $25.

Marsha de la O releases Antidote for night

M

Antidote for Night is so rich with imagery and characters and incident. It’s a beautiful book, but it’s also very dark. Thank you! Regarding dark material, I believe that any poet writes what he or she has been given. This is my material because this is what I was given. It’s important to regard the totality of your life as a gift, and important for me personally as a writer to feel that any experience can be rendered.

Along those lines, there’s a noir element to your poetry.

It’s easy to imagine a character in a Raymond Chandler novel holed up somewhere reading Antidote for Night Night, a cigarette burning in an ashtray, a glass of bourbon sitting next to a loaded .38. That’s funny! I love to imag-ine that— that maybe Marlowe him-self, preternaturally alert, the book open on the divan, waiting out a long, tense night for what he knows is coming. Of course, above all Marlowe loved T.S. Eliot, and there’s no displacing The Waste Land or The Four Quartets. As for noir, it’s a literary form indigenous to Southern California, which has since spread all over the world, so why not draw from it as a natural part of our heritage?

Anyone who has ever heard you read your poems aloud knows that your voice takes on

courTesy

arsha de la O (pictured) is the author of Black Hope, winner of the New Issues Press Poetry Prize, and the newly published Antidote for Night Night, winner of the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award. She and her husband, poet Phil Taggart, produce poetry readings and co-edit the literary magazine Askew.

an incantatory quality.

I almost feel as though you’re going into a trance. Do you imagine the poet as a kind of seer? Actually, I don’t so much imagine the poet as a kind of seer; I think the nexus of incantation is located in language, in the poem itself, and when the poet takes up and voices those words, we all might get to a differ different place. We’ve always asked language to perform in multiple ways, specific functions that differ from the ordinary. Magic is precipitated by special language, by magic words, by incantation. And what is incantation? Well, it’s related to song, related to the power of music; cantar is right there in incantation. However, when I was an ele-

mentary school teacher, I took a series of workshops on storytelling in which each of us had to present a tale, and the storytelling leaders said, “Oh, you’re a trancer …” And I asked if that was bad.

And they said, not necessarily.

It’s always interesting for me to think of you as a former schoolteacher. I don’t associate the startling immediacy and rawness that I find in your poetry with elementary school. But then again, maybe that’s shortsighted on my part?

There’s a real compassion in your work, and children can be pretty honest at times. It’s not shortsighted at all.

There is a fundamental contradiction between being a schoolteacher and pursuing a writing life. One subsumes the other. Teachers give 110 percent of themselves to their classrooms. It wasn’t until after I left that job that I was able to turn toward truly honing the manuscript into something that could become a book. On the other hand, I want to acknowledge that teaching g ave me insight into the courage and dignity of the lives of children and families in my classroom.

Can you talk a bit about the difficult business of selling a book of poetry? Poetry is a niche community, an aural art in a visual age, but it’s also an ancient art, one that connects us to our beginnings, one that still carries potential mythic power. Yet, with the disappearance of the bricks-and-mortar bookstore, the simple act of picking up a book of poetry, opening it to a page, realizing that something there speaks personally, that essential tactile encounter can’t happen as much. That’s why I’d like to acknowledge Chaucer’s Bookstore here in S.B. It’s a cultural treasure, supports local authors, maintains shelves of poetry, and everything else. Antidote for Night is available at Chaucer’s — what an honor!

Ventucky string Band

ellie gOulding

Ask members of the Ventucky String Band what they appreciate in the bluegrass and country legends who inspire them, and they will say the musicianship. The new Ventucky String Band album, the expertly woven tapestry of The Band Plays On, has musicianship in spades, in the staccato punch of plucked bass and the über-tight banjo harmonies. Songs like the peppy “Careful How You Catch ’Em” are so note perfect it’s hard to believe they weren’t pulled from a time capsule. But it’s also true to form in the deeply affecting lyrics, lovelorn and honest, like on “Buenos Aires Blues,” when singer Matt Sayles sings, “Time stretched me out, and I’m feeling like a sorry old fool.” Fun, succinct, and moving, too, it’s an accomplished work from a very talented bunch.

—Richie DeMaria

Since her 2010 debut album, Lights, Ellie Goulding has been a mainstay on the music charts. On November 6, the Brit pop star will drop her third studio album, Delirium, and the first track released, “On My Mind,” is already a hit. Now her second single from the upcoming record, “Something in the Way You Move,” is available for listening. The steady beat and delicate piano mixed with heart-wrenching lyrics make “Something in the Way You Move” the perfect power dance song for anyone battling recent heartbreak. Goulding encourages listeners to forget about the anguish and dance the pain away. Thanks to a catchy chorus, it is impossible not to sing along. If “On My Mind” and “Something in the Way You Move” are indicative of the album in its entirety, Delirium is sure to be another chart topper for Goulding.

Poetry of Life

Will rOgers’ aMerica at timbers Rich Hoag (pictured) owns Will Rogers in this entertaining, popular, and seriously profound show that had its premiere at Susie and David Couch’s Circle Bar B Dinner Theatre 10 years ago. Now, after a decade of living as Rogers onstage at theaters and festivals all over the country, Rich Hoag is reunited with the Couch crew for a weekend at their new Goodland Supper Club in the historic Timbers restaurant on Winchester Canyon Road in Goleta.

The stakes are high whenever an actor commits to portraying a historical figure, and they are even higher when the subject is someone like Will Rogers, who was himself an unforgettable performer. Fortunately, Hoag has the craft and the brainpower to go deeper than resemblance in order to open up the way the man Will Rogers thought and felt. It’s the uncanny degree to which Hoag captures Rogers’s characteristic habits of mind that allows the show to transcend mere impersonation and recitation. In fact, it’s when Hoag improvises, riffing on the latest news for example, that he seems most like the man he’s portraying.

For those whose knowledge of Rogers is limited to his oft-quoted maxim “I never met a man I didn’t like,” the experience will be a revelation. We don’t have a public figure of comparable influence in contemporary America. Rogers knew how to weave a coherent persona out of such disparate social roles as the cowboy, the entertainer, the skeptic, and the common man, and he did so with tremendous humility and generosity of spirit. If you crave an antidote to the vacuous rhetoric of contemporary culture, then Will Rogers’ America may be just what you are looking for. The buffet dinner before the show begins at 6:30 p.m., and the performance starts at 7:30 p.m. Although Friday, October 23, has sold out, there are still tickets available as of press time for the other three nights — Thursday, October 22; Saturday, October 24; and Sunday, October 25. For reservations, call 705-9598.

a&e | DANCE FEATURE WINNING MOVES: The competitionbased group brought home 16 trophies from the Las Vegas Hall of Fame’s National Competition this past July.

Championship steps momentum DanCe Wins Big in national Competition

by Olivia Davi

C

laiming its rightful place in the spotlight, Momentum Dance Company is making waves in the community. The competition-based group is gaining recognition as an authentic institution after bringing home 16 trophies from the Las Vegas Hall of Fame’s National Competition this past July.

Their success was greatly attributed to the woman behind the scenes, Betsy Ann Woyach.

A dancer, choreographer, and master instructor of 17 years, Woyach created Momentum Dance to inspire dancers to reach new levels in their art, set goals, build self-esteem, and demonstrate true teamwork. “In short, we went to Nationals really not expecting much … and we walked away with some pretty huge titles,” Woyach said. “Our teen contemporary duet won the title of Top Teen Duo/Trio, and our Junior Hip-Hop Trio made it into the Duo/ Trio showdown.”

After competing professionally for 10 years, Woyach went on to create the University of Georgia’s first hip-hop dance program while a student there. Upon graduating, she pursued dance professionally in Los Angeles, which ultimately led to her landing a job instructing the International Dance Academy in Hollywood.

Woyach created the Momentum Dance Company after moving to Santa Barbara in 2013. “I started teaching in S.B. five years ago and was baffled that there were no competition studios, that everything here was performance-based,” Woyach explained. “I think of Momentum as bridging that gap between the professional competition world in L.A. and the small town of S.B.” When asked how a competitive dance company is different than a performancebased one, Woyach responded,“[The dancers] are taking away such critical life lessons at these competitions that are just unparalleled to local performance-based companies.

Dancing in front of world-renowned dancerchoreographers, instructors, and performers and getting judges’ feedback and awards are just a whole other realm.”

She went on to explain that the goal of Momentum Dance is to empower young dancers through dance education to prepare them for life after they leave “the studio.” “It’s teaching these dancers to believe in themselves,” she said. “We are teaching them to set

goals and see that accomplishing these goals is possible with hard work, commitment, and self-confidence.”

Momentum Dance offers training for different ages and skill levels. “We offer classes starting at age 3 and 4, but you have to be at least 5 years old to be on the competitive teams. Our recreational classes go all the way up to adult tap classes, and we have a pro competitive co mpany comprised of dancers ages 19 and older,” Woyach explained. “Each team trains in jazz, contemporary, lyrical, and hip-hop with the opportunity to learn tap, as well. I love teaching hip-hop — it became my niche — but tap is very close to my heart, and I love getting lost in the emotions of teaching or setting a lyrical piece.”

Company members also have the opportunity to compete as a solo, duet, or trio if invited by Woyach to do so. “These are dancers in S.B. looking for the closest training to professional that they can receive. They train with guest instructors from L.A. that teach exclusively to the company.”

Not only does Woyach draw on her dense dance background to bring Momentum to life, but she also draws inspiration from her dancers, friends, and family. “As an artist, inspiration is everywhere. The dancers themselves and their stories inspire me so much recently,” she said. “What they face and the things they go through, they help me tell their story through dance. My son [also] inspires me on a daily basis. He has been the catalyst for so many of Momentum’s dances.”

Perhaps what makes Momentum Dance Company most special is that it is the product of a young girl’s fantasy. “I have dreamed about Momentum ever since I was a preteen and knew I wanted a studio,” Woyach said. “I talked about it constantly my whole life. There was never ‘if I have a studio’ but ‘when I have my studio.’ ” Momentum Dance was born 11 months after the birth of Woyach’s son.“Staying true to how I always said I would run my studio and not allowing anything but the sheer love of dance to be my guide has been my greatest accomplishment.”

A

n extraordinary season for lovers of dance in Santa Barbara continues this week as Moves, the touring company of the fabled New York City Ballet, arrives at the Granada for two nights, presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures. Each night will have a separate program, making this a kind of mini festival featuring some of the world’s greatest dancers in what is unquestionably a selection of the most interesting and important contemporary ballet choreography.

Ever since Lincoln Kirstein and George Balanchine founded the company in 1948, the name New York City Ballet has been synonymous with both innovation and achievement on the absolute highest level. In addition to employing an incredible roster of famous dancers over the years, the New York City Ballet has been home to a number of great choreographers. Jerome Robbins joined the organization just one year after it was founded, and after Balanchine’s death in 1983, Robbins and the great dancer, choreographer, and ballet master Peter Martins became responsible for the artistic direction of the company, which makes its home in Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater.

The new century has been a good one for New York City Ballet and for the art form of ballet more generally. The great choreographers of the 20th century, such as Balanchine and Robbins, have been joined by a new generation with fresh ideas and the ability to create tremendous excitement in venues on multiple continents. Several of these artists are featured on the upcoming N.Y.C. Ballet Moves programs, including Christopher Wheeldon, Alexei Ratmansky, Peter Martins, William Forsythe, Justin Peck, and the company’s other ballet master, Jean-Pierre Frohlich. I spoke with Frohlich by phone from the company’s headquarters in New York last week, and he enlightened me as to the purpose and goals of the touring group Moves and gave some useful ideas about how to enjoy the pieces to be presented in Santa Barbara.

The upcoming engagement in Santa Barbara includes two programs over two nights. Is that the way that you prefer to arrange things? In this instance, the primary reason for the two nights is that the

because on the one hand, you need to have him out there, and people need to perform his work in order that it live on. But on the other hand, you have to be careful about what kinds of productions you permit. It’s a bit like a marriage — the partners have to fit. One of the great things about Jerome Robbins’s work is how much dancers learn from doing it. Robbins was a master at going deep and creating dances in which the atmosphere and the intent are as important as the steps. Dancers need to experience that in order to grow as artists.

presenter, UCSB Arts & Lectures, wanted to put on both programs. I think that they are assuming that it will be essentially the same audience for both nights, and they have confidence that people who care about dance in Santa Barbara are interested enough to sustain that.

Can you say something about each of the programs? Of course. On Monday, October 26, the performance will open with “In Creases,” a new piece by Justin Peck, who is the N.Y.C. Ballet’s current choreographer in residence. He’s also a soloist with the company, and he will be premiering his first narrative ballet with the company in February of 2016. “In Creases” is set to music by Philip Glass, but you’d never recognize it as Philip Glass just from listening to it. The William Forsythe piece, “Herman Schmerman Pas de Deux,” is based on Balanchine, but it’s on a different level and goes to a different extent. The Jerome Robbins suite of dances was originally created for Mikhail Baryshnikov.

I understand that you are one of the people responsible for maintaining the legacy of Jerome Robbins. Could you talk about that? I was thrilled that he left this to me in his will. It’s an important job

What is the mission of N.Y.C. Ballet Moves? Well, to bring a whole company on tour is just too expensive. The intent with Moves was to create a touring annex that leaves the core elements of the company experience intact. That’s why we always have at least some dances on the program that use live music, because that is such an important element.

And really the idea is that when someone sees the MOVES group in their home city, in Santa Barbara or San Diego for example, and then they travel to New York, they will have the New York City Ballet in mind as one of the things they might want to do there.

What do you see as the future for ballet today? A lot of people seem to think that ballet is dead, but they are misinformed. It’s not, and there are many young people coming into the ballet world who are moving it forward. Dancers are young! They have to be, and that’s the future. Of course there are things we can do to help, like offering tickets at affordable prices and giving more lecture demonstrations and open rehearsals. But just come out and see what’s happening, and you will understand that this art form is very much alive in this century.

Carmina Burana

Reviewed by Gustavo Uribe

n the land described in the book The Hyborian Age by author Robert E. Howard, a Cimmerian boy, born on the battlefield to a blacksmith, arose to conquer, swearing to a deity called Crom. Conan, as he was named, eventually claimed vengeance on the evil sorcerer Thulsa Doom, infiltrating the Temple of Set as the cult indulged in cannibalistic orgy.

Incidentally, just as pulp-fiction writer Howard wove his tale in the 1930s of Conan — later to be portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger on the big screen — Carl Orff, music educator and composer, discovered the medieval sultry poem manuscript Carmina Burana, later to be turned into a 25-song epic masterpiece. Both Conan and Carmina Burana deal with themes of fate, merrymaking, love, warfare, religious worship, and satire. Musically, Orff’s Carmina Burana shares threads of Verdi’s Requiem and Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, and later in the 1982 film of Conan the Barbarian, film composer Basil Poledouris’s music score shares the epic choir and medieval soundscape inspired by Carmina Burana.

In 2008, State Street Ballet and the S.B. Choral Society premiered Orff’s full-scale masterpiece, choreographed

by William Soleau, at the Granada Theatre. The two groups reunited to again present Carmina Burana on that stage on Saturday-Sunday, October 17-18, but this time they were joined by the S.B. Symphony. To depict the 25-song set in its entirety and maintain storytelling unity is a difficult task; each piece must be able to stand alone and yet flow in stagecraft and narrative continuity.

This was achieved with the choir as backdrop, dressed in stage-lit multicolors; bench props rearranged for different utilities throughout the work (pillars, platform,

benches); the singing soloists dueting with solo dancers in spotlight; and exploiting the theme of the wheel of fate through clockwise choreography.

The production portrayed the lyrics of Carmina Burana with a Conan the Barbarian, medieval flavor that featured hooded monks emanating creepiness, court jesters, priests, frolicking court dancers, footballfield-length dance streamers, and, of course, the choir waving Roman-chariot-like celebration ribbons for the “O Fortuna” finale. The photo-finish highlight of the work, however, was a Théodore Géricault’s The Raft of the Medusa–inspired 12th movement “Olim lacus colueram,” where the beautiful swan glides with melancholy across the stage upon a bench-made-raft platform, to be swarmed, picked, and eaten by a bunch of savages. O n fortuna…

his recital focused on four “last” piano sonatas, all by essential composers — Franz Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Franz Schubert. Far from being a lugubrious affair of funereal final statements, the program showed Sir András Schiff at his most commanding, his most searching, and his most beguiling best. By the time he returned to the Lobero stage to play one of Bach’s Goldberg Variations as an encore, the audience had made a dramatic and monumental journey with him through the highest peaks of the solo piano repertoire.

Haydn never fails to restore my faith in the musical imagination, and Schiff’s deft, subtly expressive reading of Haydn’s Sonata in E Flat Major, Hob. XVI/52, L.62 was no exception. Bold, witty, and technically demanding, it foreshadowed the deeper shadows to come. Beethoven’s Sonata No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111 remains endless to contemplation. Hearing it again, especially in Schiff’s sure hands, is all the third movement any sane person could desire. Mozart started the Sonata No. 18 in D Major, K. 576 as a vanity piece for the princess of Prussia, but she never saw the score. As with all the other works on this program, it belongs solidly to the exodus of the sonata from within the reach of amateur pianists.

Schiff has been playing Schubert’s sonatas for decades, but in a recent series of concerts in London

and elsewhere in the spring and summer of this year, he has been using an extraordinary period instrument, the Brodmann fortepiano, a fully restored example of the kind of keyboard just coming into prominence when Schubert was composing this sonata in the 1820s. It’s impossible to know if this change of heart about period instruments — Schiff has in the past denigrated period “specialists”— has necessarily been the catalyst, but this performance of Schubert’s last sonata, the sprawling Sonata No. 21 in B-flat Major, D. 960, was extraordinary, and spiritual in the extreme. All kinds of new direction in music were explored, and we heard it played as well n as it is possible to be played. independent.com

rom the moment one lays eyes on Brian Bembridge’s masterful unit set for Ensemble Theatre Company’s terrific new production of Sweeney Todd, it’s clear that something special is about to happen. In director Jonathan Fox’s intimate interpretation, Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece of the macabre gains in intensity without losing any of the power more typically associated with grander spectacles. The 10 performers onstage and the five-piece band cunningly hidden beneath their feet combine to create an expert realization of the complex score and the darkly humorous script. Before the night is over, viewers are thoroughly immersed in this underworld where Sweeney moves beyond good and evil. Well, okay, maybe not beyond evil.

With his excellent voice and clear understanding of the character, David Studwell makes a great Sweeney. His love song to the razors he left behind is particularly chilling. When he announces that “my arm is complete again” when he holds the shining blade, you just know that he’s thinking about doing more than just shaving someone. Heather Ayers sings beautifully, as well, and balances neatly on the line between comedy and horror in her performance as the nasty baker Mrs. Lovett. Yet the real excitement generated by this talented pair of leads comes when they support and react to the other fine performances that surround them. Ayers, for example, is splendid in her scenes with Chris Kauffmann, who plays Tobias, the innocent young assistant to rival barber and initial victim the mountebank Pirelli (Justin Cowden).

Norman Large gives Judge Turpin the right leering insidiousness, and Craig McEldowney nails the role of Beadle Bamford. Michaelia Leigh and Karole Foreman, as Johanna and the Beggar Woman, respectively, both find new ways to bring life to these crucial roles. Ultimately, the real star of any good production of Sweeney Todd is the music itself, and musical director Matthew R. Meckes has done a remarkable job of preparing the cast and band for this highly challenging material. In the end, one is left to contemplate not only the evil of a serial killer but also the great beauty of Sondheim’s vision as a composer. What an achievement this show is, to have reimagined the Broadway musical so thoroughly, and yet to have adhered n so closely to its underlying form.

arefooted and beaming from ear to ear, the ageless Jimmy Buffett performed at the Santa Barbara Bowl on the evening of Thursday, October 15, with his famed Coral Reefer Band. While other artists might be content seeing their fans having the time of their lives, Buffett’s wild enthusiasm made it appear that he may have enjoyed the concert more than any audience member.

The 68-year-old entertainer is no stranger to Santa Barbara, and his show provided plenty of tributes to the city. With the stage decked out appropriately in cabana style, the screen behind the musicians cycled through still images and videos throughout the night — photos of the Santa Barbara Mission, the harbor, and Highway 101 popped up during select songs and proved that Buffett was happy to be back.“In the late ’80s, this was one of the biggest venues [to play],” said Buffett, “and we’ve remained faithful to the Santa Barbara Bowl.”

Buffett has long been known as a touring workhorse — he has embarked on a tour every year since 1976—and his live show was nothing short of a marathon as he blitzed through 25 different songs over the course of two hours. Only twice did he allow the energy of the Bowl to dim briefly: during Robert Greenidge’s “Steel Drum Medley” mid-show and at the end of the encore with the solo acoustic “Tin Cup Chalice.”

The show wouldn’t have been complete without the inclusion of the band’s most well-known hits. Guitarist Mac McAnally played the role of Alan Jackson on “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” early in the night, and “Mar-

garitaville” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise” both found their way into the set later on. Buffett also paid tribute to his musical contemporaries with covers of James Taylor’s “Mexico,” Crosby, Stills & Nash’s “Southern Cross,” and Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl.”

Though one might expect these songs to lose their luster after being played out over the course of a 46-year career, Buffett’s spirit and gusto kept young and old Parrotheads alike singing and dancing along all night, and he expressed his appreciation: “Thank you to all the people who raised your children on this music; it’s n helped us a lot.”

hen I entered high school, my mother brought me a tape from a coworker and said, “You gotta hear this.” It was the 1998 breakthrough album from the Buena Vista Social Club, and I couldn’t stop listening to it—“El carretero,”“Chan Chan,”“El cuarto de tula,” and, of course,“Dos gardenias.” The classic Cuban sounds of the ’40s and ’50s have never died in popularity. The resurgence of Buena Vista Social Club (BVSC) in the late 1990s carved another chapter in the story of Cuban music; however, with only a few living original members left, their current Adios Tour hits a bittersweet note in the international community. The generation of Classic Cuban musicians has officially passed the guard to a new epoch in Cuban music.

Santa Barbarans were lucky to see them perform for one last time. The Granada Theatre was sold-out, packed, and full of a raucously clapping, multicultured bunch, bursting with catcalls, cow-calls, and Arsenio Hall arm-cranking calls. It was refreshing to see the usually sit-down Granada transform into a sea of people all standing up, and with the corner aisles teeming with dancers.

The legendary version of “Chan Chan” sung by guitarist Eliades Ochoa, dressed in black with matching cowboy hat, was like a watching a Cuban Johnny Cash shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die—simply awesome. To see the diva Omara Portuondo sing her smoky piano duet in a spotlight, Casablanca-style, was life-changing. To bear witness to Barbarito Torres trilling his laúd like a boss and playing his Guajiro string machine behind his back was to know perfection.

The golden-age Guajiro style will remain classic and its generation legendary primarily thanks to the contributions of BVSC. Evident, however, was a hint of merengue and timba rifts creeping in through some percussion breakdowns. With the merengue-styled song “A la luna yo me voy” performed live and featured on the album AfroCubism, a musical collaboration between musicians from Mali and Cuba, it is evident that even the culturally pure BVSC has shown signs of the evolution. Yet we have only seen the tip of the iceberg; with the Cuban embargo being lifted, it will be interesting to discover what the new Cuban guard has n in store for us.

RAISE A GLASS: The famously fun Poor Man’s Whiskey promises to bring the party spirit upon returning to Santa Barbara this Saturday.

I WIsh I Could

Bottle up the tIme

by Richie DeMaria

BACK TO THEIR ROOTS: This has been a great, if somewhat rough and tumbling, year for Poor Man’s Whiskey, who will play on Saturday, October 24, at 9 p.m at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). Now 15 years into their career, the Isla Vista and Bay Area–based bluegrass/jam-rock band is enjoying a “wild ride” of a time, with ups and downs aplenty, says singing, keyboarding, banjoing harmonica man Josh Brough. The year has brought a career highlight in a sold-out performance at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, but also some difficult personnel shifts as parenthood has moved into the picture.

This year also sees the band debuting their newest cover record in their bluegrass-ified rendition of Paul Simon’s Graceland. Poor Man’s Whiskey won worldwide acclaim with Darkside of the Moonshine, an Appalachian take on Pink Floyd’s psychedelic ’70s masterpiece, which they have now performed across the globe, sometimes costumed as characters from The Wizard of Oz — they’re a wild and whimsical bunch, for sure.

Also this year, the band was inspired to lend their freewheeling spirit to Simon’s consummately crafted and joyful work, which Brough called “an iconic album” near and dear to the Whiskey boys’ hearts. He hopes to tour their folky performances of Dark Side and Graceland to the origins of folk music itself, upon the emerald isles of Ireland and England, and hints that one day they make take on a bluegrass Sgt. Pepper. “I think the idea of taking on any type of song that’s ever been written with these acoustic instruments is a challenge, and it’s a fun thing to do,” he said.

Fun is certainly a core value for the Poor Man’s Whiskey crew, who started as an Isla Vista jam band. “Our roots are in Isla Vista,” Brough said, reminiscing on the days when the band would soundtrack spontaneous keg parties. They don’t take themselves too seriously, and they’re known to take the stage in “circus show”–type performances with outlandish costumes or shirtless/short-shorts ensembles. Though they’re a little older now —“We’ve toned it down a bit,” Brough admitted—coming home reawakens that festive spirit they fostered in I.V. so many years ago.“It’s become a biannual tradition where it seems more like a college reunion of sorts; it’s packed, and it’s fun,” he said.“I just wish I could bottle up the time because I see so many friends I haven’t seen in so long; it’s almost sad leaving.”

Well, Josh, you will always have a second home here. Feel free to play well into the night on Saturday. And you, dear reader—feel free to join them.

It’ll be a rollicking good time.

THOUGHTS ON SUFJAN: Also on Saturday, October 24, 8 p.m., Sufjan Stevens plays at the Arlington Theatre (1317 State St.). I can’t help but recall

the time some friends and I formed a one-off seven- or eight-piece band (funny thing, memory) named The Shredded Wheaties, assembled to perform a rendition of Sufjan’s “Come On! Feel the Illinoise!” for a DP Jazz Choir fundraiser way back when. We brought the house down, but none of us really keep in touch anymore. It’s a memory now.

The memory inspires a nostalgia overdrive, for no one crafts songs of nostalgia and its associated woes like Stevens. His postcard-esque soundscapes and lyrics evoke bygone times and the delicate sorrows of childhood. His latest, Carrie & Lowell, explores new lyrical territory with further meditations on grief and spirituality. One wonders if he will wear those magnificent (or megalomaniacal?) bird wings he donned for his Illinois tour, although such flamboyance seems a little strange for such weighty n new material. All things go, all things go, even fun costumes.

areless is something you never think about describing Steven Spielberg. Corny, manipulative, middlebrow, overproduced, sure. But not sloppy.

This film opens with Tom Hanks as insurance lawyer James Donovan arguing in a bar against awarding insurance claims to accident victims who just happened to be in the car that Donovan’s client struck.

We’re meant to see him as a slimeball, which the rest of the movie takes anxious pains to disprove. Why bother with the misleading intro?

The movie that follows is engaging enough, opening with the capture of a Soviet spy in 1957 New York and then cutting to U-2 spy-plane pilots learning their mission and then drawing in Donovan, who, the film barely mentions, was also an attorney at the Nuremberg trials. Then it becomes a big Cold War comic book with little good to say about either country, though the little people on both sides have Spielbergian spunk.

The second half of the film takes place mostly in Berlin, where Donovan negotiates an exchange of spies that ultimately will take place on a bridge with

Instead of fun, we get detailed historicity. But as my son said afterward, just because a movie is slow doesn’t mean it’s burning. There are nice touches, such as twin scenes of people scaling walls in Berlin and Brooklyn, but there is no shiver in this version of Cold War legal life. n

n Sicario, Emily Blunt plays Kate, a by-the-rules FBI officer who is recruited to lend her efforts to the drug war in Juarez. She teams with Matt (Josh Brolin) and Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), two seasoned, severe government officials who have worked on the case for some time. Though she wants to help, her efforts are blockaded. Whenever she or partner Reggie (Daniel Kaluuya) question the methods or motives of the mission, they are dismissed, silenced, or threatened. She watches with futility as the higher-ups engage in a war with no clear rules and no clear heroes.

On surface level, Sicario is about an American quest to fell a powerful Mexican drug lord, and the film packs the unnerving tension and graphic violence one might expect from a journey through cartel land. What it offers, as well, is an indictment against our nation’s shadowy tactics on the ground, told through a beautiful ensemble of fine acting, visuals, and music.

Brolin and Del Toro, both excellently sinister in their gun-toting virility, upturn the usual Hollywood heroism tropes of the American soldier in their aggressively unquestionable authority and callously violent temperaments. Blunt’s simultaneously steel-strong and vulnerable Kate and Kaluuya’s admirable Reggie make great foils in their witnessing of cartel carnage and military-industrial phallus contests. And in one

of the best visual-musical companionships this year since It Follows, Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson contributes a battlefield of a score, sounding like an orchestra of warplanes and guns.

Villeneuve layers the film with deep visual and thematic cues of subjugation, from the posters of missing women in Juarez to Kate’s addiction to Indian Creek cigarettes. Kate is no idealized ass-kicking Katniss, conveying instead the more likely reality of helplessness and frustration as a woman in a covertly schemed and chaotically violent man’s world. It’s an important film, a brave and artful critique in our era of gun-toting, government-issue masculinities stomping upon lives without consequence. It’s a movie against puppeteering political forces and the heroes who begin to resemble villains in their blindly principled vendettas. It’s a movie of the times: one of abject futility. See it. n

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

NOW SHOWING O Black Mass (122 mins.; R: brutal violence, language throughout, some sexual references, and brief drug use) This is a realistic film, proclaim the skin details, based on the very real life and times of James â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whiteyâ&#x20AC;? 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 Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime mastermind. Black Mass is a powerhouse of a movie in its entertainment value, acting strengths, and decade detail. Deppâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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)Â Plaza de Oro Crimson Peak (119 mins.; R: bloody violence, some sexual content, and brief strong language)

You can tell that Guillermo del Toro is having fun with Crimson Peak just by reading the title. His ingredients bespeak a kind of mad enthusiasm, too: a little David Lynch, add some Stephen King, then Edith Wharton, Daphne du Maurier, and, as a crazy topper, the best of American slasher movies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there and richly coated in del Toroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undeniable gifts at design and beautiful horrific-ness. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less clear is whether the audience is having fun jumping through all these genre hoops and into who knows what. Del Toroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s women are the most appealing part, uncharacteristically strong for such brands of fiction. Mia Wasikowska is the writerly daughter of a New York plutocrat at the dawn of the 20th century, and Jessica Chastain is the spooky sister of Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), the baronet who wants to marry the moneyed American girl. Hiddleston is smooth and has a great

gross-out scene with a fountain pen, but it’s the women who run the forces of light and dark that play across this stilted (yet bloody) canvas. It isn’t scary, and the ghosts you saw so plentifully in the credits don’t get nearly enough screen time. “They are metaphors,” says Edith (Wasikowska), speaking of ghosts in her own fiction. You might wish that del Toro had spent more time on such a consideration — that he spent as much time on scary meaning as he did on chilling atmosphere. (DJP) Camino Real/ Metro 4

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)

Arlington (2D)

Freeheld (103 mins.; PG-13: some thematic elements, language, and sexuality)

This biographical drama tells the story of a New Jersey police lieutenant, Laurel Hester (Julianne Moore), who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. She and her registered domestic partner, Stacie (Ellen Page), fight to make sure Stacie will receive Laurel’s benefits when she dies.

Riviera Goosebumps (103 mins.; PG: scary and intense creature action and images, and some rude humor) Jack Black stars as Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, who, it turns out, has been keeping the monsters from his stories locked up in his books. When a fresh-faced teenager unleashes them, mayhem ensues.

Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)

He Named Me Malala (87 mins.; PG-13: thematic elements involving disturbing images and threats)

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

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

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

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

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

This is just slapstick and easy satire.

(DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D) The Intern (121 mins.; PG-13: some

O The Martian (141 mins.; PG-13: some strong language, injury images, and brief nudity)

Santa Barbara Recital Debut

Matt Damon plays 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. 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. 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. (DJP) Camino Real (2D and 3D)/

Pan (111 mins.; PG: fantasy action violence, language, and some thematic material)

This prequel to J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan begins with a woman skulking though London neighborhoods, crossing Kensington Gardens, and ending up outside a foundling home where she leaves a swaddled child. Skip forward a few years, and the abandoned baby is named Peter, and he’s a hellion in a hellish Catholic orphanage. The rest gets really dodgy with an aerial fight between flying pirate ships and British fighter planes and a slagheap in Neverland, where thousands of child miners greet the incoming ship chanting “Smells Like Teen Spirit” lyrics. Still there’s actually something quite exquisite nestled in all this improvising and theft. The movie withholds Pan’s magic until the very end. Director Joe Wright plays us to the edge of frustration and then exhilarates.

It’s weird and then fun. (DJP)

Fiesta 5 (2D)

O The Walk

(123 mins.; PG: thematic elements involving perilous situations and some nudity, language, brief drug references, and smoking)

The 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. 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. Watching Gordon-Levitt pace deftly back and forth on the high wire really does instill a sense of inspiration.

Painterly and brimming with joie de vivre, The Walk is a celebration of Petit’s grand performance and of grandiose dreams generally. (RD) Riviera

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): According to the online etymological dictionary, the verb “fascinate” entered the English language in the 16th century. It was derived from the Middle French fasciner and the Latin fascinatus, which are translated as “bewitch, enchant, put under a spell.”

In the 19th century, “fascinate” expanded in meaning to include “delight, attract, hold the attention of.” I suspect you will soon have experiences that could activate both senses of “fascinate.” My advice is to get the most out of your delightful attractions without slipping into bewitchment. Is that even possible? It will require you to exercise fine discernment, but yes, it is.

(June 21-July 22): Terence was a comic playwright in ancient Rome. He spoke of love in ways that sound modern. It can be capricious and weird, he said. It may provoke indignities and rouse difficult emotions. Are you skilled at debate? Love requires you to engage in strenuous discussions. Peace may break out in the midst of war, and vice versa. Terence’s conclusion: If you seek counsel regarding the arts of love, you may as well be asking for advice on how to go mad. I won’t argue with him. He makes good points. But I suspect that in the coming weeks you will be excused from most of those crazy-making aspects. The sweet and smooth sides of love will predominate. Uplift and inspiration are more likely than angst and bewilderment. Take advantage of the grace period! Put chaos control measures in place for the next time Terence’s version of love returns.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): More than any other sign, you have an ability to detach yourself from life’s flow and analyze its complexities with cool objectivity. This is mostly a good thing. It enhances your power to make rational decisions. On the other hand, it sometimes devolves into a liability. You may become so invested in your role as observer that you refrain from diving into life’s flow. You hold yourself apart from it, avoiding both its messiness and vitality. But I don’t foresee this being a problem in the coming weeks. In fact, I bet you will be a savvy watcher even as you’re almost fully immersed in the dynamic flux.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish author Oscar Wilde. I appreciate the wit but don’t agree with him. A plain old ordinary waterfall, with foamy surges continually plummeting over a precipice and crashing below, is sufficiently impressive for me. What about you, Capricorn? In the coming days, will you be impatient and frustrated with plain old ordinary marvels and wonders? Or will you be able to enjoy them just as they are?

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): One of the largest machines in the world is a “bucket wheel excavator” in Kazakhstan. It’s a saw that weighs 45,000 tons and has a blade the size of a four-story building. If you want to slice through a mountain, it’s perfect for the job. Indeed, that’s what it’s used for over in Kazakhstan. Right now, Taurus, I picture you as having a metaphorical version of this equipment. That’s because I think you have the power to rip open a clearing through a massive obstruction that has been in your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock did a daily ritual to remind him of life’s impermanence.

After drinking his tea each morning, he flung both cup and saucer over his shoulder, allowing them to smash on the floor. I don’t recommend that you adopt a comparable custom for long-term use, but it might be healthy and interesting to do so for now. Are you willing to outgrow and escape your old containers?

Would you consider diverging from formulas that have always worked for you? Are there any unnecessary taboos that need to be broken? Experiment with the possible blessings that might come by not clinging to the illusion of “permanence.”

Homework: Send pictures of your favorite scarecrows or descriptions of your dreams of protection to me at Truthrooster@gmail.com.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the coming weeks, you will have a special relationship with the night. When the sun goes down, your intelligence will intensify, as will your knack for knowing what’s really important and what’s not. In the darkness, you will have an enhanced capacity to make sense of murky matters lurking in the shadows. You will be able to penetrate deeper than usual and get to the bottom of secrets and mysteries that have kept you off-balance. Even your grimy fears may be transformable if you approach them with a passion for redemption.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): New friends and unexpected teachers are in your vicinity, with more candidates on the way. There may even be potential comrades who could eventually become flexible collaborators and catalytic guides. Will you be available for the openings they offer? Will you receive them with fire in your heart and mirth in your eyes? I worry that you may not be ready if you are too preoccupied with old friends and familiar teachers. So please make room for surprises.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you an inventor? Is it your specialty to create novel gadgets and machines? Probably not. But in the coming weeks you may have metaphorical resemblances to an inventor. I suspect you will have an enhanced ability to dream up original approaches and find alternatives to conventional wisdom. You may surprise yourself with your knack for finding ingenious solutions to long-standing dilemmas. To prime your instincts, I’ll provide three thoughts from inventor Thomas Edison. (1) “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” (2) “Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless.” (3) “Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some unraveling is inevitable. What has been woven together must now be partially unwoven. But please refrain from thinking of this mysterious development as a setback. Instead, consider it an opportunity to reexamine and redo any work that was a bit hasty or sloppy. Be glad you will get a second chance to fix and refine what wasn’t done quite right the first time. In fact, I suggest you preside over the unraveling yourself. Don’t wait for random fate to accomplish it. And for best results, formulate an intention to regard everything that transpires as a blessing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Years ago, I moved into a rental house with my new girlfriend, whom I had known for six weeks. As we fell asleep the first night, a song played in my head: “Nature’s Way” by the band Spirit. I barely knew it and had rarely thought of it before. And yet there it was, repeating its first line over and over: “It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.”

Being a magical thinker, I wondered if my unconscious mind was telling me a secret about my love.

But I rejected that possibility; it was too painful to contemplate. When we broke up a few months later, however, I wished I had paid attention to that early alert. I mention this, Aquarius, because I suspect your unconscious mind will soon provide you with a wealth of useful information, not just through song lyrics but other subtle signals, as well. Listen up! At least some of it will be good news, not cautionary like mine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): When I advise you to GET NAKED, I don’t mean it in a literal sense. Yes, I will applaud if you’re willing to experiment with brave acts of selfrevelation. I will approve of you taking risks for the sake of the raw truth. But getting arrested for indecent exposure might compromise your ability to carry out those noble acts. So, no, don’t actually take off all your clothes and wander through the streets. Instead, surprise everyone with brilliant acts of surrender and vulnerability.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 11/12/2015 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O. Box 21107 Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Probate Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special form is available from the court clerk.

Original Owner: Reverend Mrs. E.J. Scudder Year Built: 1888-1889 Architect: Believed to be Peter J. Barber

OCTOBER 22, 2015

B

efore the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission on East Yanonali Street, there was The Faith Mission at 409 State Street, where the Reverend Mrs. E.J. Scudder offered religious services, meals, short-term lodging, and other ways to help the less fortunate. Upon its opening in January 1890, the Weekly Independent wrote, “The Mission is doing a good work in Santa Barbara in reclaiming young men from their erring ways and pointing out to them the right path to follow to enable them to become good Christians and worthy members of society.”

Though it has never officially been confirmed, it is believed to have been designed by the celebrated Santa Barbara architect Peter J. Barber, who was involved with several early designs, including Santa Barbara College, the Upham Hotel, the second Santa Barbara County Courthouse, the Arlington Hotel, and the remodeling of the Lobero Theatre.

The Faith Mission was originally constructed from 1888 to 1889. The lower State Street address was centrally located in the hub of Santa Barbara’s commercial center, where the city was undergoing a building renaissance of many architectural styles. The property demonstrates a modest Victorian edifice with Eastlake overtones. That vernacular is named for Charles Locke Eastlake (1836-1906), an English architect and author whose designs flourished during the latter half of the 19th century, largely attributed to heavy ornamentation placed on sidings, doorways, windows, and ceilings.

One of the most unique elements is the horizontal axis of the roofline, which is covered in galvanized steel and stamped with a decorative ornamentation, giving almost a sculptural appearance. Additional features include ornamental mounts anchored above the windows and doorways, which evoke a massive and robust quality.

Within a few years, the financial constraints of running the mission proved too challenging, as Mrs. Scudder was unable to meet her current payments. In late 1895, Mr. E.H. Penfield foreclosed the mortgage, but with the aid of benefactors, the property was placed into a trust and Mrs. Scudder continued as operator. In the early 1900s, it was also home to the Associated Christian Relief Association. In years prior to World War I, the Hitchcock missionary family of Santa Barbara managed the facility.

By 1929, Kenneth Ahlman was the new owner and proprietor, and in 1931, the name Hotel Savoy appeared in the city directory. During World War II, the hotel was a favorite of servicemen who sought less-than-honorable services inside the upstairs suites. In recent years, the building has served as both office suites and as various restaurant-nightclubs, today known as the Blind Tiger. It is one of the few remaining 19th-century commercial buildings still intact that has not undergone noticeable structural or location changes, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

409 State Street

y first real road trip as an adult was during my sophomore year of college. My friend Tricia and I planned a long weekend, driving my VW bug from San Diego to the Bay Area. What should have been a pretty uneventful straight shot up Interstate 5 became interesting when an unseasonably early snow caused a closure of I-5 at the Grapevine. We could have canceled our plans and gone back home, but we were ready for adventure and not easily dissuaded by a little snow. In those pre-Google, precell phone days, we stopped, looked at our map, and traced what appeared to be the most logical alternate route: cutting up the coast on the 101.

This is how I first experienced Summerland. As Tricia and I trekked along, not quite sure how long this detour would take, Summerland arose before us: houses clinging to the side of the mountain, awash in shades of cute. Having grown up a sunshine lover, I pledged that I would one day live in this beach town called Summerland that we found because of snow.

Flash-forward some 30 years, and while I haven’t exactly made good on that pledge quite yet, I do live close enough to often enjoy the beachy allure of Summerland. I thought about this allure as I headed toward an open house on a recent Sunday afternoon. Summerland gazes toward the ocean, skipping details like sidewalks and focusing instead on the endless horizon view.

The home at 2521 Banner is on a large, prominent lot yet feels secluded. As you walk from the street toward the house, the hideaway feeling begins as you pass beneath a huge palm tree to reach the entrance. The front door itself features a speakeasy window, enhancing the impression that you’re about to step foot into a secret clubhouse.

Once you’re inside, every window and door opens onto that view. Stepping into the living room, huge doors invite you out to the patio. Even the built-in shelves are “backless” and use the ocean as their backdrop. If you can tear yourself away from the view long enough to notice the details, the living room offers a huge stone fireplace, Saltillo tile floors, a balcony, and super high ceilings. The formal dining room opens to the patio, as well, and the kitchen boasts a beautiful granite countertop, stainless-steel appliances, and windows over the sink.

You even get that view when you’re washing dishes.

From this main floor, staircases lead to bedrooms both above and below. The three floors of living space give this home versatility and options for shared living. Downstairs there are two bedrooms and a full bath that take advantage of lush landscaping, giving it a secret-garden feel. The two bedrooms and two full baths upstairs take advantage of— of you guessed it—the view. The top floor deck provides both bedrooms with a sweeping vista all the way from Santa Barbara to Ventura. If that’s not romantic enough, imagine sunsets and sea breezes next to your private fireplace in the master bedroom suite. It feels like you’re at the top of your own faraway tree house.

Snow may have led me to Summerland that first time, but now it beckons to me by sparkling in the sunshine, promising a feeling of summer vacation forever. I reluctantly left this three-story Santa Fe–style tree house and headed off to—where else?—the beach.

Caring for Backyard Grapevines

I have three grapevines in the backyard.

One is green, and two are red. Both fruited early this year and were eaten by raccoons. Lately, the leaves have started to turn color and fall, but all of a sudden, I’m getting new growth and tons of new fruit clusters! What’s up capcapcap with my dormant yet fruiting grapes?

Should I wait to prune them or give them therapy?

Gustavo the Gardenator

OCTOBER 22, 2015

any people still believe that a house can be over insulated and sealed too tightly. They are convinced that such a house will have unhealthy air and be contaminated with toxins. Such thinking confuses tightness and air quality. Houses need to be constructed as tightly as possible. However, as they become ever tighter, for energy-conserving reasons, mechanical ventilation becomes a necessity. Controlled ventilation is the best strategy for dealing with outgassing and inadequate air changes. A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is one device that provides automatic fresh air while exhausting stale air, thereby creating a healthy indoor environment.

Because the heat exchanger in these appliances transfers heat from one air stream to another, many people, even some builders, refer to these units as space heaters. They are not. During the winter, operating an HRV will actually lower the indoor air temperature as it pulls the warm, stale indoor air through the heat exchanger, transferring most of its heat to the cool, incoming fresh-air stream — but not 100 percent of it. The efficiency of the heat transfer is around 80 percent. An HRV, however, is much more effective than cracking a window in winter where any escaping air takes the maximum amount of heat with it

by Dennis Allen and the incoming fresh air is not preheated in any way.

While it’s true that an HRV recovers heat that might otherwise escape to the great outdoors, operating one will not lower your energy bills. The Panasonic units that I like service a home of about 2,000 square feet and cost about $350.

They use less electricity than a 40-watt lightbulb (actually 23 watts), are easy to install, and operate very quietly. They are typically installed in a hall ceiling and have two four-inch ducts that run in the attic to the exterior.

As a stand-alone device, an HRV uses a small amount of power, but compared to the cost of heating cold winter air that enters through a window in a home without mechanical ventilation, there is a big net saving on energy bills.

Another confusion is that because an HRV brings air in from the outdoors, people think it can provide makeup air for the kitchen range-hood fan that can cause depressurization problems. Being a balanced ventilation device — providing the same rates of incoming and outgoing air — it does not add any additional air and therefore does not rectify the negative pressure created by any appliance that sucks air out of the house.

An HRV can be a key component in making a tight house also a healthy one.

By providing a quiet, constant flow of preheated fresh air at low cost, the HRV is fast gaining acceptance.

no se les c***** los animales.” (Cover your fruited grapes with small wire mesh, so the animals don’t mess with you.)

3) “Sigue les regando.” (Keep watering like you normally would.)

4) “Podelas en enero o febrero.” (Prune in January or early February.)

And like that, your grapevines should be back to normal. Happy eating!

Mission Canyon

by Dusk Donahue

Extending from the Santa Barbara Mission up into the wild Los Padres National Forest, Mission Canyon is forested by ancient oak trees and dissected by winding country roads. Though just a few minutes from the convenience of downtown Santa Barbara, these single-family foothill homes range from small creekside cabins to mega-mansions with expansive views.

It’s like living the country life with a cosmopolitan city just a drive, bike, or hike away.

Area highlights

The Neighbors: Hippies, farmers, con-

You’ll Love: Walking through the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden at dawn, hiking up to Inspiration Point for sunset, picnicking at Rocky Nook Park, and biking at top speed right past the Old Mission to your downtown office.

Perfect For: Nature lovers, hikers, climbers, bikers, painters, and anyone who appreciates old oak trees.

Around the Area

The Chumash lived along what today is known as Mission Creek for millennia, and the Spanish quickly dammed up the creek in the late 1700s to develop the Mission and Presidio. People have been building homes there ever since, from the flatter lands near Rocky Nook Park to the hilltops along Las Canoas Road into the bohemian stretch of Mountain Drive. About 2,500 people live in the community today, including plenty of families, though many thousands more visit regularly to check out the museum,

Mission, Botanic Garden, and amazing hiking trails that start at the end of Tunnel Road.

There is a catch, though, and that is the threat of wildfires, which tend to roll through the region every couple of decades. That imbues the entire neighborhood with a palpable sense of living for the moment and forces all residents to remember what really matters in life.

Living alongside deer, coyotes, cougars, hawks, and the occasional black bear is just icing on this natural-lifestyle cake.

OCTOBER 22, 2015

Mission Canyon is so named because the Santa Barbara Mission sits at its mouth, and this “Queen of the Missions” provides quite a stunning transition from downtown Santa Barbara to this rural community that’s dotted with oak trees older than town. Just past the Mission is the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, a working research institution that formally celebrates the great outdoors, and then in the center of the canyon is the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, another amazing ode to nature. Taken together, the mission, museum, and garden paint a perfect picture of what to expect in Mission Canyon, where one can live in a place that blends a love of nature with the flavor of California history and pioneering homesteaders.

independent real estate

servationists, artists, architects, botanists, writers — pretty much any type of person who loves the great outdoors and is willing to deal with the threat of occasional wildfires in order to live comfortably amid nature.

Market: A wide range, from fixer-upper cabins on the low end to exquisite postwildfire rebuilds/remodels that fetch millions of dollars.

Lifestyle: With hiking and cycling trails starting in all corners of Mission Canyon, a love of nature and solitude pervades the Mission Canyon mindset.

OPEN HOUSES

Barbara’s best-known architect, to design an Italianatestyle residence to be built around the adobe Heath had built on the property 20 years before. Heath lived in this house the rest of his life, dying in 1911.

Three years later, after a disastrous flood that ravaged the South Coast, Heath’s son, James, sold the family farm. The property passed through the hands of a number of owners until the parcel that included the Heath home was sold for a housing development in 1968. In 1972, with the razing of the house imminent, the Carpinteria Valley Historical Society moved to save what was left of the residence. Today, two walls of the adobe structure, declared both a Santa Barbara County and a City of Carpinteria

advantage of his time spent working for a law firm back in New York, Heath was admitted to the California State Bar in 1852 and became Santa Barbara district attorney the following year. During the 1850s, Heath would also hold down the position of county sheriff and be elected to the State Legislature. He then filled one more term as district attorney before turning his full attention to farming in 1862.

In 1858, Heath bought 52-plus acres in the Carpinteria Valley for just over $300. He found clearing the land of the many oak trees a daunting task; in some cases, clearing one acre could cost up to $200. Heath persevered, and after a few years his farm boasted lemon and orange groves, thousands of grapevines, and one of the largest walnut orchards in the state.

Despite the time and energy devoted to his farm, Heath remained active on the local scene, serving on the first board of the Montecito School District and helping to push through the construction of a wharf at Serena— Serena roughly where the polo fields are today—to serve the Carpinteria Valley.

In 1881, Heath hired Peter Barber, Santa

or almost 60 years, Russel Heath played a prominent role not only on the local scene but on a statewide level, holding a number of public positions. Born in 1826 in New York state, he was drawn to the West Coast by California’s gold fields in the late 1840s and early 1850s. His journey was a difficult one.

First, he became seriously ill while crossing the Texas plains. Upon reaching the Pacific, he joined a group that chartered a ship to take them to San Francisco.

Cholera broke out on board, and the ship became lost for weeks because the captain had no navigation charts. With food running out, the passengers forced the captain to land them near Point Conception.

Heath and the others then walked to Santa Barbara, where they engaged overland passage to San Francisco, arriving there several weeks before their ill-fated ship.

Heath, after laboring for two years in the Mother Lode, returned to Santa Barbara in the early 1850s. Friends dissuaded him from following through on a plan to seek his fortune in Mexico, and he decided to make Santa Barbara his home. Taking
