IT’S SO HARD TO GET INTO IV ON HALLOWEEN, THEY’RE ALREADY LINING UP. That’s right. A police lineup. Because if you break the law, you will be arrested.

The community of IV is built with brilliant minds and educational opportunities. Today, we continue to make improvements to keep IV safe. Like adding extra peace officers, and new better lighting.

We want IV to take its place in our great community.

But, it’s up to you to behave like the adult you have become. An arrest or a DUI can ruin your entire future. With your help, we can work together to show the world that IV is a beautiful setting to live, study and enjoy.

Let’s keep Isla Vista safe.

Paid for by IV Safe Committee. Use of paintings provided gratis by Chris Potter. Studio provided gratis by TVSB. Special thanks to: Santa Barbara County, City of Goleta. SBCC, UCSB, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s and District Attorney’s Offices, KEYT, Cox Communications, SB Independent, Dajen Productions, and Berris Communications.

dark side out

The haunting began when the unrelenting heat of September bled into the humid days of October.

Giant spiders gathered first, hunkered in corners, straddling their webs. A tacky, sweet smell permeated the air, chocolatetinged. Walls and windows lay back for skulls and black-cape-clad bones to creep in and hang out in doorways. But the laughter spilling out of Terry Ortega’s office just meant Día de los Muertos, the most important holiday of the year, was prime, an annual remembrance of Nana and Tata, who left the world so long ago.

Murillo

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.

All Vote-By-Mail election

Please make sure your ballot is postmarked

by November 3rd.

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.

Endorsements City Council Andria Martinez Cohen, Randy Rowse, and Cathy Murillo

THU, OCT 29 / 7:30 PM / UCSB CAMPBELL HALL $15 / $10 UCSB students and youth (18 & under)

DISTRICT 1:

Andria Martinez Cohen

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.

Yes, we have questions about Martinez Cohen. 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.

DISTRICT 2:

Randy Rowse

With five years of council experience under his belt, Randy Rowse has established himself as a congenial, right-of-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 the way 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.

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:

14 FILMS A six-senses experience of art, adventure, culture and the environment in an eclectic and exciting program of 14 short films, animation and digital media. Subjects include everything from extreme mountain biking and adrenalinepacked feats of athleticism to drainage ditch kayaking!!

An Evening with

Alex Honnold Alone on the Wall

SUN, NOV 22 / 7 PM (note special time) UCSB CAMPBELL HALL $15 / $10 UCSB students and youth (18 & under)

“From time to time we come across someone who can do something so remarkable that it defies belief and, in this case, defies gravity.” 60 Minutes Honnold pushes the limits of rock climbing beyond anything previously attempted. In Alone on the Wall, he recounts some of his most astonishing career achievements. Illustrated presentation.

Books will be available for purchase and signing

Cathy Murillo

District 3 makes up Santa Barbara’s Westside and lower Westside neighborhoods. Murillo has lived there for 15 years, and as a councilmember, she 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.

Also running for District 3 is Sharon Byrne, Murillo’s longtime nemesis 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.

Kenneth Kasten Rasmuson, the first “sexually violent predator” to be released in Santa Barbara County after he raped an 11-yearold boy in 1981 in Santa Barbara and raped a 3-year-old boy in 1987 in Los Angeles, was charged last week with a second murder of a 6-year-old boy. Earlier this year, new DNA evidence connected Rasmuson to the 1981 rape and murder of Jeffrey David Vargo, 6, from Anaheim Hills. Rasmuson was facing extradition from Idaho to California when new DNA findings linked him to the 1986 murder of Miguel Antero, 6, from Agoura Hills. He is scheduled for a court hearing 10/28 in L.A.

As stated in the ruling, one of Warner’s managers reportedly told Boyle upon eviction, “You don’t understand. I work for Ty Warner. Ty Warner can do what he likes.” Read more at independent.com.

DRIP DROP: Even if El Niño rains hit, it appears water districts drawing from Lake Cachuma will have to make do with substantially less.

Some district managers, like Charles Hamilton from Carpinteria (below), are pushing greater regional cooperation.

by N i c k W e l s h ven if this winter’s much heralded El Niño delivers several rivers’ worth of rain, there was little hope expressed this week by a multitude of Santa Barbara waterdistrict managers and water-board members that there would be any returning to the predrought days of indiscriminate lawn irrigation and car washing.

Setting the tone at the Association of California Water Agencies confab was ACWA chief and Sacramento lobbyist Tim Quinn, who stated, “We are living through a millennial drought. We’ve experienced the driest sequence of years in more than 1,000 years in California, and it’s hotter than it’s ever been.”

Obviously, Quinn said, strong rains would help replenish groundwater basins, but he stressed, “We can’t assume El Niño will bail us out.”

The good news, he said, is that California water agencies have collectively spent $20 billion on infrastructure since the great drought beginning in 1987. Thanks to that investment, he said, California has absorbed the worst the current drought has to offer without sending the economy into a tailspin. The bad news is that more than 2,000 private wells in California’s Central Valley have gone dry, and more than 100 small water systems are now on the verge of collapse. Hydroelectric production statewide is down to the lowest levels since 1977, and more than half-a-million acres of agricultural fields have been fallowed. Eighteen

species of fish, Quinn said, are threatened with extinction, water birds are struggling to make do without the flyway stopovers provided by rice farms, and the state’s coniferous forests are experiencing unprecedented die-offs.

After a sluggish start, California residents now are taking the drought seriously, cutting back consumption by 27 percent, 31 percent, and 27 percent, respectively, this June, July, and August. But the drop in sales volumes is taking a serious toll on the financial health of water districts, forcing managers to jack up rates and strip-mine their reserves.

“People are getting pretty tired of this stuff,” Quinn said.

And living in the paradise of the South Coast offers little protection from the withering effects of the drought. Lake Cachuma — the single biggest water supply south of Santa Maria— is down to 16 percent of capacity. For Maria the first time since the dam began operating in 1953, there will be absolutely zero water allocated from the reservoir this year. Even large groundwater basins — like Carpinteria’s — are slammed and need years of rest. Half the Santa Ynez Valley water district’s wells were recently shut down after the federal government

adopted more stringent water-quality thresholds for chromium. The fix, it was announced, would cost $17.5 million.

The crucial subtext to the two-day event — the first was spent on an all-day tour of Lake Cachuma—was to bring water-district managers and boardmembers together to talk about common problems with the conspiratorial hope of fomenting a more regional response. As such, it functioned as a premature Thanksgiving dinner for a large, extended, and sometimes dysfunctional family.

ACWA, in this vein, provided the venue — at Buellton’s Marriott Hotel— Hotel and the turkey sandwiches.

Accurate Aviation general manager and Vietnam War veteran Bob Trimble, 71, was returning from the Palm Springs Air Museum, where he had donated a fellow soldier’s POW/MIA (prisoner of war/missing in action) bracelet, when his small plane crashed in the San Bernardino Mountains, killing him and 50-year-old Terri Day, an Accurate Aviation employee, the Desert Sun reported. A prepared statement from Accurate Aviation attributed the crash to poor weather conditions.

The biggest donations in this year’s Santa Barbara City Council elections are being made in the fight for the newly created District 3 with incumbent Councilmember Cathy Murillo raising $59,000 and second-time challenger Sharon Byrne reporting $40,000. Of the candidates vying for District 1, Jason Dominguez raised nearly $33,000, Andria Martinez Cohen nearly $31,000, and Jacqueline Inda just over $25,000. In the race for District 2, incumbent Councilmember Randy Rowse raised nearly $30,000, while Luis Esparza raised almost $3,000 and K. Missy McSweeney-Zeitsoff declined to raise any money in keeping with her objection to the way political campaigns are financed.

UCSB student Andres “Andy” Sanchez (pictured) died in surgery October 11 at Cottage Hospital two hours after he punched through a window in his Isla Vista apartment and severely lacerated his arm.

When Sheriff’s deputies found Sanchez at approximately 4:40 a.m. on the 6700 block of Abrego Road, they said he was bleeding profusely, acting combatively, and displaying signs of being under the influence of a synthetic drug, possibly LSD or K2.

Sanchez, a 19-year-old pre-biology major from Poway, California, was transported to the hospital, where doctors attempted life-saving measures. He was pronounced dead at 6:51 a.m., and the official cause of death will be announced pending autopsy results.

In the weeks following the incident, a group of five UCSB and SBCC students who encountered and tried to help Sanchez that night have made repeated allegations of negligence and misconduct against the first responders. They’ve stated that a 9-1-1 operator failed to take their call seriously, paramedics and firefighters took too long to arrive and displayed a lack of urgency once at the scene, and Sheriff’s deputies acted in a hostile manner toward Sanchez and themselves because of their race.

The Sheriff’s Office and the county’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency, which reviews emergency medical care given by firefighters and paramedics, have strongly rejected those claims. “The notion that any of the first responders, from dispatchers to paramedics to deputies, in any way did not care about this UCSB student and did anything but try and do the right thing given the circumstances to get him the medical care he needed is absolutely not true and goes against what it means to be a first responder and the true intentions of everyone involved,” said Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover.

The EMS Agency said the 9-1-1 dispatcher acted appropriately and professionally and that the arrival times for both firefighters and paramedics fell within the county’s standards. “Every effort was made to provide the very best care and life-saving measures for this young man,” said County Fire spokesperson Captain — Tyler Hayden Dave Zaniboni.

EDUCATION UCSB enrolled 4,473 new freshmen this year, bringing its total undergraduate population to 20,607, according to final figures. Per a deal between UC and state legislators, 5,000 new California undergraduates should be added to nine campuses next fall in exchange for an additional $25 million of state funds.

UCSB spokesperson George Foulsham said it is too soon to say how many more undergrads will be added to the campus. UCSB’s longrange development plan, meanwhile, calls for an additional 5,000 undergrads over the next decade. But Foulsham said their latest projections call for just 150 new undergrads each year, and they do not expect the university to reach 25,000 undergraduates until 2031. cont’d page 12 

Mayor Helene Schneider (left) and Supervisor Salud Carbajal

endorsement wars Women Dems Back Carbajal

T

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

he Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County endorsed Salud Carbajal earlier this month rather than his key Democratic challenger Helene Schneider, causing serious tension in the county party’s biggest club. The vote comes months after the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, which Schneider once led, did not have enough votes to take a position. And Emily’s List, a political action committee that backs pro-choice Democratic women, has yet to put its stamp on Schneider but said it is closely watching the race.

It’s no secret that 1st District Supervisor Carbajal boasts an impressive list of endorsements and has raised more than double what Santa Barbara Mayor Schneider has. Though it is not the first time the Democratic Women endorsed a man over a woman, the decision is a significant loss for the mayor, especially since some of her key supporters sit on the board.

The vote reportedly came down to one person; 11 votes were needed for an endorsement. On October 11, Carbajal, Schneider, and candidate Bill Ostrander completed a questionnaire and gave a 45-minute interview with the organization. On October 15, the elections committee reported to the board, and some members made comments before a secret ballot was taken. After the vote, a few boardmembers argued the process was haphazard and that the decision was reached without thoughtful discussion.

Though the two Dems hold similar positions on national issues, boardmembers reportedly argued Carbajal already appears likely to win one of the top two spots in June. The highway-widening project, which Schneider has vocally opposed — arguing, among other reasons, that it would congest city street traffic—came up briefly.

In 2013, Dem Women supported three men in the City Council race. “Our main thing is that we always try to support the best candidate there is,” said President Gail TetonLandis.“We have supported men, and we have supported women, and we have endorsed both Helene and Salud before.” In terms of women backers, Carbajal’s key endorsements include Congressmember Lois Capps, District Attorney Joyce Dudley, Attorney General Kamala Harris, and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, among others. independent.com

On Tuesday, Schneider announced Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom had endorsed her. Last month, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, who lauded Schneider for her time with Planned Parenthood and other accomplishments, announced her support, as well. Schneider has also secured endorsements from National Women’s Political Caucus, Women’s Political Committee of California, National Organization for Women (NOW) PAC, and Barbie Deutsch, former president of Democratic Women of Santa Barbara. Schneider noted that her recent polling data showed her 8 percentage points ahead of Carbajal.

At the close of the latest campaign finance reporting period last week, Carbajal had raised more than $1 million; Schneider had raised just $370,645. But Schneider stated she has enough to get her message out. “I think right now this race is very competitive,” she said.

Many have expressed surprise that Emily’s List has yet to jump into the race given Schneider’s strong record on women’s rights.

The group does not endorse men. Emily’s List spokesperson Rachel Thomas said they are committed to keeping the 24th Congressional District seat in the hands of a pro-choice Democratic woman. “Helene has been an outstanding champion for women and families in California,” Thomas said,“and we have no doubt she would continue that work in Congress.”

Schneider has been in communication with Emily’s List, and she took exception to the idea it is unusual they haven’t supported her.“It’s not even 2016 yet,” she said.

In practical terms, the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara endorsed her now—more than seven months before the primary election in June — because the state party’s preendorsement process takes place in January.

About 100 people are expected to vote, and the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara will send 12 delegates. If one candidate secures 70 percent or more of the vote, he or she will likely receive the endorsement.

Republicans Justin Fareed and Katcho Achadjian are also in the race for the 24th District. At the end of the October reporting period, Fareed raised $432,062 total, with $374,266 cash on hand. Achadjian has raised a total of $258,537, with $208,106 cash on hand.

Edythe Kirchmaier (pictured), beloved Direct Relief volunteer and likely the oldest Facebook user in the world, passed away Saturday surrounded by family. She was 107.

Born in 1908 in Ohio, Kirchmaier was introduced to Direct Relief 40 years ago when she and her husband moved to Santa Barbara and responded to a newspaper ad looking for volunteers. In the decades since, she packed countless relief boxes for the Goleta-based organization, more recently writing thankyou letters to donors. “I think if we can just love one another, there will be less pain, less fighting, more harmony,” Direct Relief quoted her as saying. “I think we can win over all of our adversities with love.” n

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) limited the amount inmates can be charged for making phone calls while incarcerated, terming the current rates charged by prisons and county jails “excessive” and “egregious.” The FCC argued such rates effectively promote recidivism by impeding communication between financially challenged inmates and their OTHER END OF THE LINE: An inmate makes loved ones. As a result of the a call from jail. new limitations, the Santa Barbara County Jail could lose as much as $387,000 a year in telephone revenues. This money now goes into the Inmate Welfare Fund, which pays for many of the antirecidivism programs now offered at the jail.

For the past five years, the County Jail has charged inmates between $4.50 and $5.00 for calls up to 15 minutes long. Of that, $3.50 is deemed a connection fee.

On top of that, the jail has charged 10 cents a minute. Under the new system, no connection fees can be charged, and jails can charge up to 11 cents per minute.

Sheriff Bill Brown said the ruling will be appealed and that if upheld would take six months to take effect. He speculated the reduction in fees could spark an increase in call volumes, thus offsetting some of the loss in revenue. But assuming call volumes remain the same, the FCC ruling will reduce phone revenues by 60 percent.

Currently, a little less than half the $1.6 million Inmate Welfare Fund comes from phone calls. Brown said that loss would have to be made up from the general fund — Nick Welsh or by cutting services.

cheaper calls from Jail

score one for steelhead

When average citizens kill federally endangered steelhead trout, they can be fined up to $10,000 per fish. But when the federal Bureau of Reclamation accidentally killed an alleged 393 juvenile trout two years ago along a short stretch of creek right below Lake Cachuma, the bureau got off by agreeing to do what it had already been mandated to do 15 years before: keep enough water in the creek to prevent the fish from croaking. To that end, the bureau agreed to install two electric pumps to keep Hilton Creek flowing with two cubic feet of dam water a second, and two diesel backup pumps whenever the main pumps fail, which they reportedly did at least nine times in 2013, transforming the mile-long stretch of creek into viscous mud.

A settlement deal was announced this past week in response to a lawsuit filed by Cal Trout, a steelhead-advocacy group represented by the Environmental Defense Center (EDC). “It’s an important victory, but it’s only a part of a bigger puzzle,” said EDC attorney Nicole Di Camillo. “Obviously, Bradbury Dam screwed up the whole watershed. This addresses a part of that.”

In 2000, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued a “Biological Opinion” decreeing that Hilton Creek be kept wet and cool enough to sustain juvenile steelhead so they can grow large enough to make their ocean journey. For the past several years, NMFS has been threatening to release an updated opinion that will regulate water released on the Santa Ynez River and require greater sacrifices by water agencies.

The settlement modifies the biological opinion drafting process in small but significant ways. Now, when NMFS gets around to issuing its new draft, Cal Trout will have 45 days to respond. In addition, it requires that all the water agencies that qualified as intervenors in the dead-steelhead lawsuit — Cachuma Conservation Release Board and the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District ID 1 — be — Nick Welsh afforded the same preview.

interests,” explained Hamilton.“We need to get out of those silos.”

To that end, Hamilton and Fayram enlisted James Stubchaer, who for aeons reigned as Santa Barbara County’s unofficial “godfather” of all water engineers. Stubchaer delivered a quick yet comprehensive history of South Coast efforts to secure a reliable, sustainable supply of water, ending with the vote to import state water.

Whether Hamilton et al sparked the critical mass of collective good needed for regional cooperation or not, several very interesting factoids did emerge. For example, the county’s contract with the federal Bureau of Reclamation—which owns and operates the Lake Cachuma reservoir — expires in four years, but, it was quietly revealed, was finally paid off in full on September 25. For a reservoir with a capacity of 225,000 acre-feet of water, South Coast water agencies wound up spending a total of $43 million over the past six decades.

Currently, the dam is calibrated to operate on the expectation of seven-year drought cycles on par with the drought that started in 1947. The new reality hitting the hardest is the recognition that it may not be enough in the face of increasingly hot, dry weather patterns. To make it through the long haul of the new, more violent droughts, water customers may have to make do with 20,000 acre-feet a year, a significant cut from the 25,000 acre-feet the dam traditionally delivers annually. Also on the table will be heated discussions as to when water agencies must cut back use even farther once drought conditions are established. Had Cachuma’s member agencies agreed to cut back sooner—in accordance with a 1997 agreement — Fayram said Cachuma would have 20,000 acre-feet

for distribution instead of nothing. Because there was no consensus among members, those cutbacks did not happen.

In contrast to Lake Cachuma’s price tag, the City of Santa Barbara is now spending $55 million just to rebuild its desalination plant. To double the anticipated capacity of that plant—necessary for the Montecito and Carpinteria water districts to avail themselves to that water — would cost another $20 million. While no decision has been made about such cooperative arrangements, the City of Santa Barbara will clearly be under considerable pressure to keep running the desalination plant—at a cost of about $5 million a year — even after the drought is over to compensate for anticipated losses from other key water sources.

Lastly, the cost to install all the pipes, pumps, and treatment facilities needed to hook the South Coast into the State Water Project — completed in 1997 — was $590 million. Although that system — which costs $50 million a year whether any water is provided or not — delivered only 5 percent of its contracted obligation last year, the system proved essential in moving water from Northern California rice farmers to Santa Barbara’s parched and desperate water agencies.

Many in attendance — and certainly ACWA’s Quinn—argued state government needs to remove regulatory obstacles making the marketing of water more difficult and expensive than it needs to be. State law allows, for example, water transfers but not outright sales. That means every acre-foot of northern California water “purchased”

by South Coast agencies has to later be given back—often on a two-to-one basis —in addition to the money paid. n

Health Education Classes NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2015 PAYING THE PIPER: Cleanup workers bag oily sand right after the spill.

Plains dragging feet?

Santa Barbara prosecutors filed a petition in court earlier this month after Plains All American Pipeline — the company responsible for the Refugio Oil Spill — allegedly failed to comply with the demands of the civil investigation. In early August, prosecutors requested Plains produce within 30 days “any and all” documents connected to the May rupture, including analysis of crude leaked, seven years of maintenance records for the pipeline, data from the smart-pig inspections, and efforts to safeguard culverts that allowed spilled oil to enter to the ocean, among other demands.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Kelly Scott said she has not yet received any materials. “Plains has not shown any good-faith effort to answer the Santa Barbara community,” she said. “We do not accept that answers to our requests should occur at some point convenient for Plains.”

Plains spokesperson Meredith Matthews said in a statement that the company is in discussions with officials regarding the terms of a protective order — that would prohibit the DA’s Office from sharing the materials — “that will facilitate document production.” In court files, Scott alleged Plains attorneys failed to produce a draft protective order on the agreed-upon date, October 9. Separate from civil penalties, both county and state prosecutors might file criminal violations against Plains executives by late spring. Commercial fishermen filed a civil suit against Plains earlier this month, alleging, among many things, the spill will continue to damage lobster fishing for up to seven years after the spill, when the young lobsters killed off by pollution would have reached market size.

The spill aftermath was discussed Tuesday at a disaster council convened by Supervisor Janet Wolf, who had previously expressed frustration that the county did not assert enough control during press conferences, as they were told the Unified Command had to speak with one voice. On Tuesday, Environmental Defense Center Chief Counsel Linda Krop argued the county should better pre-train volunteers, contended an after-action review should have happened 30 days after the spill, and called for better public participation. Office of Emergency Management Director Ryan Rockabrand conceded volunteer-training efforts could be better but — Kelsey Brugger disagreed about the immediacy of the after-action review.

restoring kids and canyons

Since its inception three years ago with a pilot program at Santa Barbara Junior High School, the general sentiment toward the Santa Barbara Unified School District’s so-called restorative approach to student discipline and behavioral issues has been positive. However, the warm feelings produced as traditional punishments are replaced by dialoguing, problem-solving, respect, and reparation haven’t been quantified. That’s about to change. Starting next month, focus groups on 10 campuses will tally attendance, suspension, and expulsion rates while gathering feedback from students, teachers, and administrators about the boons and challenges of the program. The evaluation is slated to take about three months.

Meanwhile, for the first time in 11 years, what to do with the district’s slice of the Santa Barbara backcountry was up for discussion at this week’s board meeting. Surrounded by the San Rafael Wilderness, the district has owned the 100-acre Happy Canyon for more than 50 years, but according to testimony Tuesday night, the property has gone mostly untouched. The Board of Education’s day trip to the land last summer has prompted a range of ideas, from campgrounds for troubled youth to partnerships in outdoor learning with neighboring districts. While some lamented Happy Canyon’s remoteness and 75-minute drive from town, Boardmember Pedro Paz pointed out that the district is sending a student group all the way to Vietnam for 12 days in June. Owning Happy Canyon, he added, “is an incredible —Keith Hamm opportunity.”

EUREKA! For Sir Isaac Newton — the father of modern physics — all it took to achieve his eureka moment was an apple hitting him on the head. For Santa Barbara Police Chief Cam Sanchez, a more violent revelation proved necessary. On October 2, as Sanchez was driving south on the 101 to pick up one of his three daughters at LAX, a wheel from a truck heading the opposite direction mysteriously came loose, flew over the freeway divider, and smashed into the windshield of Sanchez’s car.

Aside from a few stitches and bruises, no one, amazingly, was hurt. Had the wheel planted itself a few inches further in either direction, the outcome would have been considerably more gruesome. For people in their midsixties like Sanchez, that qualifies as a bonafide wake-up call. Not everybody listens. To Sanchez’s credit — and to the relief of many in City Hall —he did. A week after, Sanchez announced his retirement, effective February.

To abuse the physics metaphor a little bit more, Sanchez — with 15 years at the helm of the SBPD—qualifies as the immovable object breathlessly postulated by theoreticians in the field. Most chiefs have a shelf life of five years. Those who don’t leave voluntarily are run out of town shortly thereafter. In that context, 15 years is an amazing accomplishment.

Sanchez is not the longest-serving chief in California — contrary to popular misconception—but he is the longest-serving chief in Santa Barbara’s history. Over much of his

tenure, Sanchez has found himself locked in perpetual political combat with Sergeant Mike McGrew, head of the Police Officers Association (POA). In person, McGrew — very much the irresistible force in this melodrama — is the sweetest, most soulful grizzly bear you ever saw. But when riled, it’s a smart idea to cross the street to avoid contact with such bears. Or as McGrew’s friends say of the former state wrestling champ, “Mike needs a fight.” Had the truck wheel not intruded on the chief ’s windshield when it did, it’s clear McGrew was gearing up to force Sanchez to step down. With Sanchez’s protectors and benefactors at City Hall recently retired — and the City Council eager for a change of leadership — the chief’s days were clearly numbered.

Among his admirers, Sanchez is praised as a pioneering pathfinder when it comes to community-oriented policing, dealing innovatively with the mentally ill, and making sure his cops go the extra mile in providing a genuinely high level of service. Cops afflicted with short fuses and even shorter tempers, they say, have a habit of not sticking around.

And crime rates—the ultimate yardstick— have been way down. But Sanchez’s detractors insist the chief has grown tired and removed over the years, delegating key responsibilities to Machiavellian hatchet men and a coterie of incompetent yes-men who were promoted to positions of authority that obvi-

ously exceed their competence. Depending on one’s sources, the department’s three captains either affirmatively can’t stand each other or are merely incapable of speaking to one another. The department, the critics say, has become a place where good ideas go to die and where the drag of friction, gravity, and inertia have become overwhelming.

Earlier this year, McGrew fired the opening salvo, complaining to Cal/OSHA that the police headquarters — built 60 years ago as a cross between Cold War bomb shelter and rat warren — was a dangerous place to work. The chief, he said, didn’t move fast enough to address department-wide concerns that theirs was a “sick” building. Cal/ OSHA inspectors found several violations and fined the department a few thousand bucks. McGrew made sure the media knew long before city administrators got the word.

About the same time Sanchez encountered the mysterious wheel projectile, McGrew launched his second strike, an election-season letter bomb mailed to every registered voter in town bemoaning the steady decline in leadership that’s taken place the past 14 years. McGrew’s timing seemed a little insensitive, but then grizzly bears are not known for the sensitivity of their attacks. Morale, McGrew charged, was at an all-time low.

McGrew didn’t mention Sanchez by name.

He didn’t have to.

Cops, for the record, are the biggest complainers on the planet. But in this case, that doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Complaints about low morale — call it malaise, call it exhaustion—are hardly confined to the rah-

rah choir of the POA. In recent years, the City Council set aside more money to hire more cops. The department, however, has been unable to fill existing positions, let alone the new ones. In the past year, 17 cops have left the department, eight to retire, nine to take jobs elsewhere. Five have become UCSB cops.

Another 14 are either injured, on disciplinary leave, or otherwise out of action. According to departmental brass, the SBPD is operating with only 93 percent of the number of sworn officers budgeted. According to the union, the real number is 75 percent. Nerves get raw, tempers frayed. In response, five specialty cops — including one focusing on the homeless — have been reassigned to patrol. In the wake of Ferguson and a tsunami of other excessive-force scandals, all departments are having a hard time recruiting. But even Sanchez supporters privately acknowledge the chief made a bad situation worse by putting the captain least able to perform in charge of so vital a function.

Sanchez did himself few favors two weeks ago when he addressed the City Council.

“Morale,” he said,“is a choice.” That, I’m guessing, did little to assuage the feelings of officers anxious about reduced troop strength.

Probably, in fact, just the opposite. Nor, I’m guessing, when the chief took issue with the “personal agendas”—and all the negativity he had “no more room for”—waged by certain officers he said were so few he could count them “on one hand.”

In the meantime, chief, congrats for 15 years of service. And when apples fall on your head, make apple cider.

Dan Abbott Schwab went to be with the Lord on October 18, 2015. He was born in Augusta, Kentucky, in 1935, the oldest of six children, of Fenton and Mary Ellen Schwab. He graduated from Augusta High School and attended Campbellsville College before coming to California where he joined the air force.

Danny was stationed for four years at Oxnard Air Force Base during which time he met his future wife, Alyce, who was in the USO. They were married in 1961 and had two children, Kristen Lynn and Ryan Keith. They moved to Santa Barbara where they built a home and lived for 37 years before moving north to Orcutt, California.

Dan worked with computers while in the air force and went to Sawyers Business School after his discharge. He then worked for Tidewater Oil Co. in the Los Angeles area until his move to Santa Barbara. He was employed

by UCSB for two years and by the County of Santa Barbara in the data-processing department for 22 years until he retired as a shift supervisor.

Dan and Alyce traveled extensively from 1980 until he developed Alzheimer’s. He loved gardening, travel, and playing basketball; Dan was a lifelong fan of the University of Kentucky basketball team. He loved music, especially Brazilian jazz, and passed that love on to both of his children. He also loved the Lord and attended Grace Church and Bethany Congregational Church in Santa Barbara, and Christ United Methodist Church in Santa Maria, developing church families in both places.

Dan is survived by his wife, Alyce; his children Kristen McIntyre (Bob) and Ryan (Teri); his two grandchildren Sarah Pipkin (Alex) and Anna Williams (Michael); his three brothers Steven, John and Budd; and nieces and nephews and their families.

He is predeceased by his parents and two sisters, Susan and Betsy.

A memorial service and homecoming celebration will be held at Christ United Methodist Church in Santa Maria on January 16, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. The family wishes to thank the caregivers at Alejandro’s Care Home, his doctors and their staffs, and the compassionate people at Marian Hospital who attended him in his last days there. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Christ United Methodist Church.

Dale Patrick Sullivan, 41, of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away suddenly on Friday, October 16. He was born in Santa Barbara on June 17, 1974, to Sylvia (Sears) Sullivan and David Sullivan.

Dale attended local schools, from Monte Vista through San Marcos. He worked as a journeyman carpenter and took great pride in his work as a foreman on large-scale construction sites in the Los Angeles area. Dale loved being around people and sharing a good laugh. He had a wonderful sense of humor, was an excellent cook and, a faithful fan of the Steelers football team.

Dale was welcomed into the arms of his father, David, who preceded him in death many years ago. He is survived by his daughter, Hailey, and son, David Sullivan. He loved his children dearly, and was immensely proud of them. He is survived by his mother Sylvia Sullivan, his brother Kyle Sullivan, and sisterin-law Anna Rodriguez Sullivan.

Uncle Dale will be missed by his nephews, Jonathon Rodriguez and Patrick Sullivan, and niece, Aaliyah Sullivan.

He will be missed greatly by his cousins, Peter Moreno, Jerry Barnes, Michele Marquardt (Wade), Grace Smith, Erik Frierson (Claudia), Sean Ferries and Erin Ferries (Kimberly). Dale had a special place in his heart for his aunts, Elaine Sears, Lila Wilbarger (Ed), Maddie Smith (Larry), Bev Roddy, Anne Sears, and Jessielee Ferries (William).

He will be together again with his cousin, Lisa Sears, and her father, Ted Sears, and uncle Allan Sears, who also preceded him in death.

Dale leaves many wonderful, caring friends and extended family members, who are heartbroken at this sad time. He will be remembered as a good friend, always ready to help whenever he could.

Dear Dale, we love you, and we will miss you always. Your struggles are over; may you rest in eternal peace.

Harry P. Gelles, brothers Paul H. Gelles and Harrison H. Gelles, sister-in-law Iliana Gelles, and five nieces and nephews.

There will be a celebration of Carrie’s life at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 1, at the Vineyard House, 3631 Sagunto Street, in Santa Ynez.

Carrie adopted her last dog, Charlotte, from Old Yeller Ranch Rescue, a nonprofit that she strongly supported. If you wish to make a donation, please make it in Carrie’s name to OYRR, P.O. Box 372, Los Olivos, CA 93441.

Michael Margaret Stewart 12/28/52-10/22/15 Born in Phoenix, Arizona on May 5th, 1961, Carrie died in a singlevehicle accident on October 1st, 2015. She was 54 years old.

Carrie will be remembered by all who knew her as a vivacious and adventurous person who loved connecting with people.

Put her anywhere and she would quickly have five new friends. She also had a special place in her heart for animals. Growing up with cats, dogs, goats, and horses in Palos Verdes, California, Carrie would ride her pony, Sweet Pea, saying, “Hi, I’m Carrie” to everyone she met. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved telling stories. And she was a great listener, caring deeply for friends and family and always ready to do a good deed for strangers.

Carrie was also an outstanding athlete. Barely standing five feet tall, she was the only girl at her high school on the boys’ varsity baseball team, throwing a hardball as well as any of her teammates. She combined her athletic ability with a bold spirit and involved herself in skiing, river rafting, hiking, backpacking, and sky diving. She loved travel and was always up for the next adventure. She lived in Australia for a year and visited South America, China, and the Middle East, as well as made several trips through Europe.

After graduating from Occidental College and later finishing graduate work at Antioch University in Santa Barbara, Carrie became a psychotherapist with a strong practice in the Santa Ynez Valley, and, over the last year, in Santa Barbara. Both as a therapist and as a caring friend to many, Carrie helped a multitude of people with their problems over the course of her life. She always had her dog by her side and was one of the early innovators of Animal-Assisted Therapy.

She is survived by her mother, Carolyn Humphreys, father

Michael Margaret Stewart succumbed to ovarian cancer on the evening of October 22, 2015, at Serenity House in Santa Barbara.

When her doctor told her on April 15, 2015, that she had “two to three months, maybe six at the most” to live, in typical feisty style, Michael outlived the longest prognosis by a week.

Michael burst into the world on December 28, 1952, in Paris, France, to Margaret and William Stewart. Her American-born father, Colonel William Stewart, was stationed as a military attaché in Paris at the time, having met and married his British wife in 1950.

Returning to the U.S., now with two younger children, the Stewarts moved to Santa Monica, California, where Michael would spend her formative years attending Lincoln Jr. High and Santa Monica High school, forging early friendships that would last throughout her life.

Michael’s grandfather founded an orchid business as a hobby and had a vacation home that later became her father and mother’s home in Hope Ranch.

Now living in Santa Barbara, Michael met and married her first husband, Justin Hodges.

They later divorced.

Michael met Steve Cowper at a New Year’s Eve party at Nipper’s in Montecito in 1984. They married and moved to Alaska where Michael helped him run and win his Democratic campaign for Governor of Alaska

in 1986. Michael was active as First Lady and launched a reading program, “Look to a Book” to encourage reading, especially in underserviced native villages throughout the state.

It was there, that their beloved son, Wade Cowper, was born on August 29, 1986. After Steve finished his term as governor, the family returned to Santa Barbara.

When they divorced in 1991, Michael raised Wade here and practiced law.

Initially, Michael worked with Jackie Misho and Anna Karczag and later forged a nearly 10-year partnership with Marty Cohn, specializing in family law up until a few months before her passing.

Michael lived her life with passion and conviction. She exercised daily, loved riding her bike, and took bike trips through Europe and wine country while savoring gourmet cuisine and fine wines. Her son, Wade, often accompanied her. A gracious hostess, she loved gathering her friends for dinner parties at her home. In her later years, she enjoyed the companionship of her trusted friend, Norman Colavincenzo, sharing fine meals and wine with him.

Michael is survived by many loyal friends (you know who you are), an incredible team offering Michael exceptional support these past few months. Friends visited, brought flowers, helped with daily tasks, kept her company during her last months and held her hand.

Wade and friends extend profound gratitude to her caregivers — the angel nurses and aides at Serenity House who were extraordinarily patient and caring including Kathy, Anne, and palliative care physician, Dr. Michael Kearney. A particular thank you to Marsha Goldman of Visiting Nurse & Hospice and Radhule Weininger. Both provided many months of exceptional emotional support to Michael as her health declined, but her fighting spirit never failed.

Donations in Michael’s memory can be made to Planned Parenthood of Santa Barbara or Serenity House.

Lucile Graham Beasley, a woman of dignity and faith, slipped away peacefully on her way to heaven, surrounded by family and friends, on Monday, October 5, at 6:15 PM. She had been courageously and graciously navigating her gradual decline from Frontal Lobe Aphasia and always had a smile on her face for those around her. In the words of a dear friend and colleague, “She was a beautiful person and a great artist with a huge heart.”

Lucile was born into a family of Methodist and Quaker ministers in Tacoma, Washington, on January 28, 1927. Piano studies began early with her mom, Helen Graham, and by third grade, she was playing with the school orchestra. Private lessons and accompanying continued on through high school and at church. Her first church organist position began when her dad, the Reverend Olin M. Graham, was transferred to Chehalis First United Methodist, which was in need of an organist as well as a minister! From then on, she studied organ in junior college and transferred to the Music Conservatory at the College of the Pacific in Stockton. There her musical foundation in classical organ literature and performance was shaped.

Lucile met her husband, William Beasley, in Vancouver, Washington, when her dad was transferred to First United Methodist Church where Bill sang in the choir and she was the organist. They were married there by her dad in August 1952. In 1953, the couple moved to Santa Barbara, where she taught piano and organ at Westmont College for 29 years. This began a full 55-year span for Lucile as teacher, professional accompanist, church musician, and concert organist.

Early in her career, she had six years of intensive and fulfilling graduate study on the organ, giving annual recitals.

Lucile had the opportunity to play the organs at The Church of St. John the Divine in New York City, Woolsey Hall at Yale University, and the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. For 20 some years, she was the organist for the Christmas season Mesindependent.com

siah sing-a-long performance in Santa Barbara. She ministered through her music as organist/ choir master at First Christian Church for 10 years, as organist at St. Mark Methodist Church for six years, and concluded at First United Methodist Church from 1984-2005, where she established the Lenten Organ Recital Series, now in its 21st season, and was named Organist Emerita.

Lucile was equally passionate about her family and friends, loving consistently and unconditionally. She was a loyal and devoted wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend. She was always there without fail in times of need for all of her family. She adored having and helping raise her four grandchildren. And she had a special concern for those who were alone at the holidays and always made room at her Thanksgiving table for friends who were in need of a loving family at that time.

Finally, when Lucile’s dementia caused her to lose her keyboard abilities, she transferred all of her passion into loving. All relationships brought her great joy whether it was someone new or a well-known friend. Another friend, during this time, said it so well: “I can think of no greater legacy than to have been loved so well by so many.” Lucile’s legacy of faithfulness, love, and family will live on.

Lucile is survived by her husband Bill, married 63 years, daughters Carolyn (Mac), Susan (Paul), and Sharon (Raul) and grandchildren Nicole, Danielle, Megan and Paul as well as one great-grandson, Braylin.

The family would like to thank the staff at Friendship Center Montecito for filling her days with joy from 2012-2014, the caregivers in the Garden and staff at Heritage House during her last year, and the staff with Assisted Hospice during her last days.

A Celebration of her Life and Memorial Eucharist will be held on Saturday, November 28, at 2:00pm at Trinity Episcopal Church in Santa Barbara with a reception following. All are welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Friendship Center in Montecito or the Trinity Episcopal Artist Series.

Councilmember Jim Farr said to the developer, “I’m going to shake you down.” He then demanded $100,000. In that the previous meeting showed a 2-2 tie on the project, it was apparent Farr’s pro-vote was for sale.

In a backroom meeting between the city attorney and City Ventures, the terms of the payoff were made though no direction was publicly given by council for this to occur. The public was led to believe the $100,000 solicited was for a new path, but in the end it was earmarked for a city slush fund. I filed a Brown Act complaint because the path was not on the agenda and/or because we do not know if any elected officials entered the conference room.

The local businesses serve the surrounding community’s needs. Attempts to gentrify the area will only drive rents up and businesses out, but there is no place else for them to go. What is wrong with having a part of Goleta that is not suburbia? Why did Farr say, “This will help renew the area so capitalism can take root and some people can make some money”? Which people?

Old Town merchants are making money now! The area may be unattractive, but it’s a vibrant community where locals walk more than elsewhere in town.

If the city makes Old Town into Brentwood, we will soon see certain councilmembers and their crony developers demand zoning changes so they can raze bungalows and put up unaffordable, high-density three-story condos.

We have learned the council’s going price to tear up — Richard Foster, Goleta the general plan.

Shark-ed

Y

our shark cover story [independent.com/shark attack] does a grave disservice to both the planet’s dying oceans and their dwindling stocks of large fish such as sharks and tuna. The story embraces a Jawstype mentality and ignores harsh realities.

The article’s quoted expert, for example, states shark populations “might” be recovering. Recovering where exactly? The unconditional, and unexamined, comment promotes the impression of sea-life bounty and plentiful marauding predators. Wow. Look at that heroic diver and those hearty fishermen. And be scared.

According to world-renowned marine biologist Sylvia Earle, large ocean predator populations have declined 90 percent in the past 70 years. Also, due to poaching and overfishing, swordfish, cod, tuna, and grouper will soon vanish. “Eating these fish is like eating the last Bengal tigers,” according to Earle.

Endless rounds of sushi-bar gorging? Think again, readers. Independent writers? Stop pursuing sensational, poorly researched cover stories. This feature was as deceptive and misleading as Exxon’s global warming cover-up.

DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS IN THEIR HONOR: For this year’s Day of the Dead bash, the Bowl has kicked it up a notch, making the event bigger and better. The culturally rich event includes roaming dance troupes, giant lightup skeletons, art installations, and some of the best Latin music artists around.

I

The DeaD Do Dance

f , as the saying goes, the third time is the charm, then this Friday night at the Santa Barbara Bowl promises to be a celebration not to be missed. Once again, our beloved openair amphitheater of rock will play host to an all-out Día de los Muertos hootenanny, complete with roaming dance troupes, 20-foot light-up skeletons, costumed ushers, more than two dozen communitymade ofrendras, face paintings, jumbo-sized puppets, art installations, custom decorations, and, of course, a stacked lineup of Latin artists new and old. “Basically, the idea was to take what we have done the past two years and make it bigger and better,” said the event’s primary visionary, Nicole Alejandra Pierpont, before adding, with a laugh, “but to try and not go totally crazy in the process.”

Working with family friend and Nederlander bigwig Moss Jacobs (Nederlander books all of the shows for the Bowl, and Jacobs is their VP of talent) as well as a large network of area nonprofits and youth-serving art programs, Pierpont has managed to put together an evening jam-packed with rock and roll, culturally rich and relevant goings-on, living art, and just the right amount of mysticism and spook for the entire family. “We try to balance all the fun aspects of the holiday — the music, the art, the dance — with the reality of what Día de los Muertos is really about, [which is] honoring the people and our loved ones that are no longer here,” explained Pierpont, who shares a birthday with the holiday.

To that end, this year’s edition of the annual celebration will include some 30 remembrance altars in the Bowl’s glen area, roughly twice the amount of custom-made ofrendras made in years past. Groups such as the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, UCSB’s Chicano Studies Department, Franklin Neighborhood Center, and Santa Barbara High’s Don Riders are but a few of the folks making installations this year. There will also be a communal altar, said Pierpont,

Día De los MuerTos Celebration Turns Three

in case you want to bring something to add yourself. Drawing from her own Mexican heritage, Pierpont has long celebrated the multifaceted and deeply layered spiritual holiday.“There is just something about taking the time to think about where you come from and connect with the family that came before you,” offered Pierpont.“Each year, I learn something new.”

And while the music acts are always the main draw (with this year proving no exception, thanks to long-standing icons such as Kinky and current darlings of Los Angeles such as La Santa Cecilia and Chicano Batman all sharing the bill), the Bowl’s Día de los Muertos festivities are perhaps best distinguished by the dance performances and the expect-theunexpected pop-up feel. This time around, some 100 dancers, from six different troupes, will be performing throughout the venue from the entrance gates to the stage to basically everywhere in-between.

Whether it is the stirring Ballet Folklórico de Los Angeles, the exquisitely costumed Los Chinelos de Morelos, the traditional Aztec dancing of Kalpulli Huitzilin Ihuan Xochitl, or a pack of stiff-limbed zombies, the assorted dance action truly makes the entire Bowl come to life, keeping you on your toes and entertained whether you are in the front row of the pit, waiting for a beer, or simply on your way to the bathroom.

“Some people might look at this lineup and say,‘I don’t know who these bands are,’ and I get that,” admitted Pierpont.“But if you want to go to a good party and experience a full evening of living culture and creativity, then the Bowl is exactly where you will want to be.”

n Reginaldo Salcedo’s hometown of San Juan del Cesar, La Guajira, Colombia, he didn’t honor his dead ancestors by donning calavera face paint or placing pan de muerto at the base of an ofrenda, or altar, like Mexicans do on Día de los Muertos. On November 2 in Colombia, his family celebrated the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (a k a All Souls’ Day), a religious holiday he describes as “the union” of indigenous and Catholic traditions.

Reginaldo Salcedo In Colombia, his family cleaned the tombs of their beloved deceased, adorning their graves with flowers and candles to represent the resurrection of Christ. They prepared food and drink — sometimes alcoholic, Salcedo said — to quench the dead relatives’ thirst and hunger as they travel through purgatory. They celebrated mass in the cemetery, listing the names of their loved ones on paper for the priest to bless. In place of an altar, Colombians create a mosaic of photos, which families pray for and bless together. Despite the regional differences between ancestor-worship events in Latin America, Salcedo said they are all connected. “In reality, they’re the same celebration,” he said. They are about people “saying we love you and we never forget you.”

Salcedo’s own mother died when he was 12. “When she died, I wasn’t crying, but I went to my room and felt the necessity to write something,” Salcedo said. He can’t remember what he wrote down, but only that it was the beginning of his journey to becoming a Catholic priest. After attending seminary in Colombia and university in Argentina, and becoming an ordained minister in Ecuador, he joined colleagues in Saginaw, Michigan, in 2001, where he worked as a pastor for many years before moving to Carpinteria.

Now in his fifties, Salcedo serves as an interfaith chaplain at Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Santa Barbara County, where he provides spiritual end-of-life care to elderly and younger terminally ill patients, many of them Spanish speakers, who are experiencing the final stages of life. After they pass, he visits the homes of the families they left behind to give grief counseling. Always focusing on “respecting” and “honoring” the religious backgrounds of those he serves, Salcedo said he feels comfortable doing his job. “I understand this is a special time in the life of the people when they are close to death,” he said.“They need support. They need warmth, understanding, and love.”

Many of his patients, he said, believe in life after death. Yet Salcedo visits Latin Americans and non-Latin Americans who follow Christian religions different than Catholicism, as well as those who are Jewish, Buddhist, and agnostic. His duties include reading from the patient’s chosen religious text, telling stories, and guiding the patient as they reflect on life and transition into death.

He acknowledges that to care for patients spiritually,“to provide comfort, consolation, happiness in the middle of suffering — it’s not easy.”

But by loving and respecting those who are approaching death, Salcedo accepts death as another honorable phase of life. He remains close to his Catholic and indigenous Colombian heritage of celebrating life after death. He said he receives his payment when he sees a patient smiling in the midst of death.

he dead will dance this Friday, October 30, when Kinky, Bomba Estéreo, La Santa Cecilia, and Chicano Batman head the third annual Día de los Muertos Celebration at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Joined by Conjunto Zacamandu and DJ Carlos Niño, the lineup will feature some of the most innovative, daring, and groundbreaking Latin acts of the moment. Here’s a look at three of them.

KinKy

The members of Kinky are known for being electronic music pioneers, and in 2015 they pushed the envelope yet again by unplugging their electronic instruments. Using bicycle spokes, trash cans, and toy machine guns, the Monterrey, Mexico‒based band pushed boundaries into almost avant-garde territory in its quest to try new things — hence the band name.

“Kinkys are very exploring, very experimenting, and that’s what we love to do,” said keyboardist Ulises Lozano.

The band has gained worldwide acclaim for straddling and intermixing musical and cultural borders.

They are currently work-

os ni l r a c j D

ing on new material inspired by the more melodic approach offered through their MTV Unplugged performances. “Of course we love our electronica, but we will enhance it with what we have learned from Unplugged,” Lozano said, adding that “always expanding, always being open to new stuff” has given the band such longevity.

“We are celebrating life and death, and we are happy to be able to be a part of a cycle,” Lozano said of the upcoming performance at the Bowl. With a song like “Despues del After,” about the big party that awaits in the afterlife, Kinky will get all kinds of bones shaking with its techno-funk grooves.

la sanTa cecilia

The video for La Santa Cecilia’s newest single, “Calaverita,” is 100 percent Día de los Muertos, with the skeletally painted band members playing their instruments from inside coffins. They’re a group that’s always had a close relationship to the spirits of the dead, said percussionist Miguel “Oso” Ramirez.“This is a beautiful tradition for us to practice every year,” he said, mentioning the multiple times they have played at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and the altars the four members have built for bygone loved ones.

to prove it, the Grammy-winning La Santa Cecilia is one of the most buzzed-about acts to emerge from L.A. in recent years. Blending the Latin and Afro-Cuban folk music with the styles and bravado of rock ’n’ roll, they’re a band proudly proclaiming their place in the new century as hybridizing innovators with firm respect for the past.

La Santa Cecilia is most powerful in its ability to use classical sounds to approach contemporary issues, such as immigration on its megahit “El Hielo (ICE).”“All of us are either immigrants or children of immigrants, and we were living that firsthand,” Rodriguez said.

Their upcoming album, Buenaventura, will feature songs on the 2014 mass kidnapping in Iguala, Mexico, and on police brutality.“It’s important for us to tell those stories,” Rodriguez explained. “We never started out as a group that had political intentions; I think we feel more so that if we don’t say something, we don’t know if someone else is going to.”

Rodriguez said that the spirit of their Día de los Muertos show will be a celebration of life and death alike.“We want to honor the dead by being joyful and grateful for the life we have by dancing and feeling and singing as much as we possibly can.”

chicano BaTMan

Chicano Batman (pictured) looks and sounds as if it’s made up of time travelers from the Summer of Love or ’70s Brazil, visiting our era to teach the world about love and revolution through the power of music.“We’re all of us caught up in the rat race, and as musicians we’re trying to get out of that. Playing music and being creative as an artist is part of that process and trying to liberate your mind,” said lead vocalist Bardo Martinez, mentioning greats like Bob Marley and John Lennon.

This year has been the most mind-opening yet for the band; they’ve reached a wider audience than ever before, first touring with Jack White and then appearing at Coachella. The group worked independently, securing all shows with the help of a small management team and without any major representation.“We’re proud of a lot of the things we’ve accomplished this year with the resources we’ve had,” guitarist Carlos Arévalo said.

The members of Chicano Batman, in their revolutionary spirit, hope to overthrow the old molds that have so long oppressed the underrepresented. “The name Chicano Batman itself comes from the legacy of the struggle of people trying to get a piece of the pie. But the pie is bad, folks; we gotta find a new way of living,” Martinez said.“I think we all have to don a new mask.”

Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch If commercially produced candies aren’t your thing, head over to Chocolate Maya at 15 West Gutierrez Street for your chocolate fix this Halloween season. “We try to educate people about chocolate here,” said owner Maya Schoop-Rutten (right). “We tell people about how it’s grown and made, about the farmers, and why it’s expensive. When you buy a $2 chocolate bar, just imagine what the farmer gets.” Originally from Switzerland, Schoop-Rutten opened Chocolate Maya in 2007 when she realized there was an absence of high-quality chocolate in the area.

Along with Day of the Dead– and Halloween-themed chocolates, Chocolate Maya also serves up a spicy, Mexican-inspired chocolate drink. The 70 percent cacao beverage is mixed only with water, which turns it into a thick, delicious, and dairy/soy-free beverage. It’s topped with a habanero, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg—you’ll definitely want to sit back, relax, and enjoy some cocoa in celebration of Día de los Muertos this weekend.

n Sunday-Tuesday, November 22-24, professional festival organizers from around the country are converging at the Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort to discuss the state of the fest biz. On Thursday, November 5, 5-7 p.m., coorganizer Laurie Kirby is hosting a free public event at the Wayfarer Hotel (with Lagunitas beer!) to let Santa Barbarans know why they should attend. She answered some questions in anticipation.

What is FestForward? FestForward is a conference and convergence of music/film/food/wine and beer/other genre festivals that will examine the industry in areas such as new technology, sustainability, innovation, safety, and collaboration. The discussion will focus on solutions, trends, and resources in the marketplace and how to improve the fan/ attendee/talent experience.

Why should everyday Santa Barbarans want to attend? Have you ever wondered what goes on

behind-the-scenes at a music/film/food and wine festival? We are pulling back the curtain so those who wish to work for or volunteer for a festival can meet icons from SXSW, Coachella, Lollapalooza, San Francisco Film Festival, Vans Warped Tour, L.A. Food & Wine, and more in one spot!

Is the events industry a viable career? Absolutely. Many festival workers travel and work at different festivals, and the individuals that come to FestForward make a living running these events.

What makes a fest great? Establishing an authentic identity, proper organization, adequate funding, quality programming, great staff, and volunteers.

What is your favorite fest? I’ve really enjoyed

Outside Lands, the Toronto International Film Festival, and Casa Pacifica. As for my favorite that I ran, I loved running the Newport Film Festival. It reminds me a lot of Santa Barbara as a beautiful coastal town.

Do you have a fest nightmare? So many …

alifornia’s steepest coastal range, the Santa Lucia Mountains, plunges directly into the ocean at Big Sur. Here, Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve spreads across steep canyons and forested ridgelines an hour’s drive south of Monterey. Composed of largely undisturbed wilderness, this landscape experiences extreme climatic differences between ridgetop and shoreline. Offshore kelp forests and rocky reefs guard the coast, while submarine canyons drop a third of a mile deep directly offshore. The result is a dramatically compressed series of habitats bordered by massive redwoods above and tide pools below.

The reserve spans three watersheds that drain the western flanks of Cone Peak in the Ventana Wilderness. The peak rises 5,155 feet from the ocean in just 3.3 miles, forming one of the steepest coastal gradients in the contiguous United States. The hills rise in a tapestry of mixed hardwood and evergreen trees interspersed with grasslands and dense stands of chaparral. Cutting through the hillsides are cool, moist canyons carved by rushing streams and shaded by groves of coast redwoods and big-leaf maples. Higher slopes are clothed in pines and manzanita, descending through mixed oak and grasslands to coastal scrub. Steelhead trout ply the clean, clear waters of Big Creek to spawn in gravel riffles. Because of its remoteness, Big Creek offers excellent habitat for sensitive species such as the California condor and spotted owl. The adjacent 22.5-square-mile Big Creek State Marine Reserve harbors a multitude of marine life, from rockfish, kelp, and abalone to sea otters and humpback whales.

The abundance at Big Creek attracted native Esselen and Salinan people to the area for more than 6,000 years. Through the late-19th and early-20th centuries, homesteaders drove cattle over the mountains and logged coastal forests. Since 1978, eight conservation-minded families along with The Nature Conservancy and Save the Redwoods League have designated their properties into what is now 8,000 acres of Big Creek Reserve. Thousands of scientists, teachers, and students now use this living laboratory to explore all aspects of natural history observation, research, teaching, and conservation practice.

Living in this landscape can be both physically and psychologically challenging— but for those pursuing interaction with nature, it is rich challenging with rewards. The best part of being the director of Big Creek Reserve is my work with scientists and students. The goal of the reserve is to learn as much as we can about the ecosystems and organisms here.

Research feeds the curiosity of the students, which then directs and intensifies the learning process. Everyone benefits from the wildness of Big Creek, which inspires inquiry in both scientists and artists. One of the greatest rewards is witnessing a connection with nature wash over someone’s face and knowing that moment will stay with them for a lifetime. How fortunate we are that certain people had the forethought to provide this opportunity for generations to come.

Smashing Sisters of Volleyball On the Court with San Marcos High’s Chloe and Emily Allen

sisters who could have taken up any sport and achieved a degree of success. That they both became volleyball players can be attributed to their parents’ choice of babysitters.

“We wanted the kids to see positive, female role models,” said Ken Allen, their father. “Our neighbor was a good friend of [former UCSB coach] Kathy Gregory. We hired her volleyball players. They were really good babysitters.”

The sitters included Brooke Niles and Erica Menzel, who were really good hitters, too. They played on one of UCSB’s best volleyball teams (30-3 record) in 2002. That made an impression on the Allen girls. A decade later, Chloe joined her sister, who’s a year older, on the varsity volleyball team at San Marcos High. Their coach: Erica Menzel-Downing.

Chloe, a powerful six-footer — she throws the discus and shot on the San Marcos track-and-field team — has a knack for hammering the ball, usually off the other team or the floor. “I’m more aggressive,” she said. “Emily keeps the ball in and slows things down.” Together, they led the Royals to a share of the Channel League championship last year. Emily, a 5´8˝outside hitter, is now at UC Davis. Chloe has asserted herself as the senior leader at San Marcos, which is again battling it out with Santa Barbara and Ventura in the league.

“Chloe does everything for us,” said Downing, who has taken a page from the playbook of Allen’s parents. “She babysits my boys,” the coach said.

On the court, Chloe Allen is such a go-to player that Downing worries about wearing her out. “She takes 60 swings a game,” Downing said, “and plays a lot of defense.”

Compare what she does to a baseball pitcher’s work load: 60 deliveries a game is a manageable number, but what if he has to field a bunt or a comebacker for every two pitches he throws?

Downing tried to give Allen a break last week when the Royals hosted Santa Ynez in a non-league match, but when the visitors jumped out to a 12-5 lead, Allen came off the bench and played the rest of the way, leading San Marcos to a sweep. “I tried,” Downing said, “but it’s so comforting when she’s on the court.”

Allen had a terrific double-double of 22 kills and 22 digs in the next match, a hard-fought sweep of Arroyo Grande.

She’s expected to draw plenty of attention in the Royals’ last two league matches: Tuesday of this week at Santa Barbara and next Tuesday, November 3, against Dos Pueblos. On the weekend, the Royals will play in Santa Barbara High’s Tournament of Champions.

John Zant’s

“The Santa Barbara match is so emotional,” Allen said. “My freshman season, I was so nervous, I could barely stand still. I try to be calm now and help the younger players.”

Santa Barbara coach John Gannon professed admiration for Allen even as he concocted plans to make her nervous again. “Chloe is a unique talent,” Gannon said. “She wasn’t consistent as a freshman, but she’s progressively gotten better. She’s such a forceful hitter, people don’t notice other parts of her game.” Gannon’s Dons, who have a pair of skilled senior hitters in Jessyca Beksa and Lourda Weger, lost a four-setter at San Marcos in their first league meeting.

Allen has learned not to be one-dimensional in her attack, like a fastballer who develops an effective changeup. “I’ve gotten more points on tips,” she said. “I’ve worked on going down the line, playing angles, and reading the block.” She also mixes up her serves from hard and deep to soft and short.

She has announced her commitment to play at UCSB. That would put her across the net from her sister next year. The Gaucho women, who will host UC Davis on November 6, have struggled this season under third-year coach Nicole Lantagne Welch. “It will change when she has more time with her recruits,” Chloe said.

Allen surprised herself when she decided to stay in town. “I never wanted to go to UCSB until I thought about life after college,” she said. “I hope to play volleyball overseas. That will be my chance to get away.”

Barbara’s J.R. Richards Gym. It’s so strong that San Marcos and Santa Barbara will have to pull upsets to advance in the championship bracket. The Royals are up against Mater Dei, ranked No. 10 in the state, while the host Dons face No.w Great Oak of Temecula. The state’s No. 1 team, Torrey Pines of San Diego, and No. 2 Archbishop Mitty of San Jose hope to meet in the final at 6:15 p.m. on Saturday.

hard frescos Are easy to sip fter a few millennia of human booze making, developing a brand-new hooch might seem pretty impossible. But Santa Barbara–raised Peter Stearns spent more than two years putting his Cal Poly food science degree to work in creating Hard Frescos, an alcoholic soda made by fermenting the ingredients typically found in Mexican aguas frescas, such as the hibiscus flowers of jamaica and tamarind pods of tamarindo.

“There is no category for this,” said Stearns, explaining that the federal government mandated including a tiny bit of malt so it could classified as a malt beverage, like other entries in the emergent “hard soda” genre. “It’s like fruit wine,” said Stearns, who uses so little malt that it’s considered gluten-free, “but made like beer.”

Stearns, who graduated from Santa Barbara High in 1994 and Cal Poly in 1999, spent the first part of his career developing recipes for healthy food companies like Balance Bar, Tanka Bar, and Annie’s, where he worked on the popular Cheddar Bunnies. But he was always working on “crazy mad scientist” ideas in his free time and got an MBA from Golden Gate University in 2012.

After visiting his sister Grace (S.B. High class of ’99) in Mexico City—where she’s lived for nine years, teaching art and running a bar/restaurant—Stearns realized how popular the fresh-squeezed fruit juices were in the country, served from the urban streets to sandy beaches and mountain towns. It was a stark contrast to the sugary, artificial

4·1·1

Hard Frescos can be found across California and in Santa Barbara at Whole Foods (which is hosting a tasting on Nov. 12, 4-7pm), The Bottle Shop, 805 Deli, Mesa Liquor, Keg ’N Bottle, Riviera Market, Westside Market, O’Malley’s, The Nugget Downtown, Cesar’s Place, and Wahoo’s Fish Tacos. They will also be served on Saturday at the S.B. Bowl’s Día de los Muertos Celebration after-party at Sama Sama and The Good Lion. See hardfrescos.com.

sodas that are peddled strongly to the Mexican-American community, where obesity and nutrition problems are rampant.“They’re basically marketing crap to people, with artificial flavors and fake ingredients,” said Grace Stearns of the American formula.“Mexico City is not like that. They’re into fresh-pressed juices. We know what people in Mexico like for real.”

Stearns found inspiration for his own project but didn’t want to replicate the usual hard-soda recipe of combining “white lightning”—basically grain alcohol—with artificially flavored pop. “I wanted to go and ferment the real ingredients,” said Stearns, who then began figuring out how to turn kola nut, guava, and other exotic ingredients into alcohol with fermentation experts at UC Davis’s Robert Mondavi Institute, where he won the support of Mondavi’s grandson Carlo Mondavi. “Each one is completely different,” he explained of the process, in which some fruits use ale yeasts and others use pilsner yeasts to ferment.

in those specifics also produced many “funny stories of exploding bottles,” as well.

This summer, after more than two years of trials, 42 label changes, the establishment of a production facility in Washington State, and the creation of a distribution network that involves tortilla delivery trucks, the Stearns and their partner, Luis Cerón, launched Hard Frescos in Southern California. They’re targeting Texas and Mexico next and are announcing a new national distributor on November 9.

The first flavors are Citrico (citrus-guava), Tangy Tamarindo, Juicy Jamaica, and Cola Buena, and they can be drunk cold, straight from the can and bottle. But they’re most refreshing on ice and also make for interesting cocktails, especially cutting the smoke of mezcal or heat of tequila.

“It’s pretty versatile, and we’re still figuring out the brand,” said Stearns. “We see the concept as between Jarritos and n Corona. We’re trying to be right in the middle.”

Harmony: what a beautiful word and an even better idea.

Ever notice how applicable that word is to the betterment of pretty much everything we hold dear? Whether it be family, friends, nature, or flavor, the great respect for balance creates a thirst for one’s most beneficial counterpart. With that in mind, here’s a tasty tincture that will hopefully keep the balance. Cheers!

ot long ago, my son Zac floated a theory about food. “People love protein wrapped in carbohydrates,” he proclaimed (and I boldly paraphrase), “which explains why people love tacos, ravioli, sandwiches, and dim sum.”

Hangar 1 Straight Vodka: Yes, it’s a new Hangar 1. The

backstory: Originally created by St. George Spirits in Alameda, the brand was such a success the artisanal makers sold it to the bigger Proximo Spirits (makers of 1800 Tequila, The Kraken rum, etc.) in 2010, producing it for them until 2014.

Now Hangar 1, version 2.0, as it were, is all Proximo’s baby, and a fine premium vodka it is, smooth yet rich.

Tasting side-by-side against the original version, it’s got more nose — a floral, perhaps even olive scent — so perfect for a vodka “martini” (I’m a gin stalwart, myself). The older style was cleaner and leaner, if you’re wondering.

To complicate matters, the noncompetition period is over, so there’s St. George vodkas again, too. So many choices! (Particularly the Green Chile.)

Chilean Mine Disaster

I was really impressed with your ability to distill the mounds of information you gathered down and make it a human story. I had

written two novels before tackling this book … and there’s something to be said for experience. [Chuckles.] I think that what especially the novels taught me is how important characters are. I mean, in this case, they are real people, but you’re describing to the reader their desires and their fears and their foibles, and not to be afraid of that terrain. … So having that experience allowed me to enter the emotional world of these men and their families. … [This] story had so many brilliant and unexpected and strange scenes in it and so many really compelling men and women in it.

Did you get a chance to go down into a deep mine? I went a lot of times to San Jose mine,

33 different memories of it, and each adding a little extra tale.

which is a really fascinating, desolate, empty place. But I went to another mine, and I went down into it, and the people we were with said, “Okay, turn off your lamps, now,” and we [did], and we were in total pitch-black darkness. … And then someone showed me this abyss that exists inside the mine, which just totally blew me away that you could just shine your light into this space, and it just wouldn’t hit anything. That helped me tremendously [with writing the book].

Héctor Tobar

As a reader, you definitely get the sense of being inside the mine with them. Imagine

what it’s like to be in 90-degree weather and high humidity for a couple of days, but imagine being trapped in that, in the dark, for 10 weeks … and then to have experienced this collapse underground. That in itself is pretty scary. … It was a very physically demanding experience, and it was part of my job to render that on the page, and my job was aided because I had all these 33 different guys with

hurt a lot of these guys were. How hurt they were by what they had suffered underground. … It was the physical torture of starving for two and a half weeks, 17 days, and then there was the emotional [nightmare] of being trapped in your grave. And having time to reflect on how you’ve lived your life, and what your passing will mean to the people who loved you. And that became the central thing of what we talked about, when I talked to these guys was, we talked about the hurt and the time that they reflected on how they had led their lives, and just how hard it was. And then the things that sort of brought them together and then tore them apart. …

And then just to have this whole thing really revolve around family, and that to me was the hardest part—how do I render the families of these men? … I felt like I could have done so much more with that, but that to me was a revelation, like, “Oh my god, at the heart of all this is family.” … So that’s what this taught me … You want to go back to family, you want to go home to the routine. … People think of the routine of the home as something trite, you know, dinner on the table. But it’s a healing, life-giving thing. So yeah, that’s my big takeaway from this—how important [family] is to all of us.

Arturo o’FArrill and the AFro lAtin JAzz orchestrA Cuba: The Conversa ConversaTion ConTinues The members of the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra (ALJO) were in Havana rehearsing for this record on December 17, 2014, when the news broke on Cuban television. After 53 years without diplomatic relations, Raúl Castro and Barack Obama came together to announce that the United States and Cuba would begin the process of normalization.

The double CD that resulted from that session, Cuba: The Conversation Continues, fully realizes the spiritual intensity of that historical moment.

That’s because, in addition to being a remarkable composer and musician, ALJO leader Arturo O’Farrill

lives the legacy of Cuba’s embrace of American jazz. His father, Chico O’Farrill, in collaboration with such legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo, and Charlie Parker, put his heart and soul into creating the Afro-Cuban style and tradition. For the son, continuing this famous “conversation” in music that his father began more than 50 years ago has become a life’s work. The quality of the playing here, both by the ALJO and by guest soloists and composers such as Michele Rosewoman, is extraordinary; the whole project shines with the radiance of a new era.

n the afternoon of August 5, 2010, 33 miners became trapped 2,300 feet below the earth’s surface when a massive section of Chile’s 121-year-old San José copper/gold mine collapsed. The disaster quickly made international news as the Chilean government mounted a rescue attempt. It took 17 days of drilling down to reach the men below. By then they were filthy, hot, and nearly starving but all alive. But their ordeal was far from over.

In his bestselling book, Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Héctor Tobar takes the reader inside the dark, sweltering mine and compassionately conveys the emotional and physical suffering that the men endured during their 69 days beneath the tonnage of rock. I recently spoke with Tobar over the phone about writing Deep Down Dark and what he took away from the harrowing story.

The ArTisT reTurns To Devereux In 1956, an autistic student named Gregory Blackstock (pictured) enrolled in Devereux School at the age of 10 years old. One of his teachers, Dege Donati, remembers meeting Blackstock in her class, which was held in a metal bicycle-repair shed. The two fell out of touch as the years went by, but Donati did not forget her former student, who went on to become a worldrenowned artist and accordionist. Last week, Donati and Blackstock reunited in person for the first time in 50 years, when the rare savant came to revisit what is now the Devereux Center and share his artwork on Thursday, October 22.

Blackstock began drawing in his mid-40s, when he started creating categorical collections. With uncanny precision and impeccable spacing, Blackstock has drawn roughly 175 visual lists of everything from kinds of stringed instruments to garden-pest-control beetles, shoes, bells, and saws, all recalled entirely from memory. When asked how he picks his categories, he said simply, “There’s so many!”

In their methodical accuracy and sweet spirit, Blackstock’s works are an expression of a uniquely brilliant mind that sees the world with unusual creative clarity. What’s more, Blackstock’s work and success is a testament to the capabilities and gifts of individuals with developmental or mental disorders, a historically underrepresented and underfunded segment of the population.

The art world has taken note, with gallery shows around the world, including a permanent collection in the prestigious Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland. A famed impressionist and musician as well, Blackstock has entertained hundreds in his present home of Seattle, playing Sousa marches on his accordion outside baseball games and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 4 outside symphony shows, sometimes both in the course of a night.

Blackstock fondly remembered the sensory details of his Devereux days. “I loved watching freight trains and airplanes from a distance. I loved watching the pilots fire up the engines,” he said, imitating the rumble and whir of revving planes. Donati said it was “just awesome” to be reunited with her old friend, who she said is “the most amazing person.”

Following his presentation, the two went around Isla Vista, which back in the 1950s was just an open field. The area may be different now, but Blackstock will always belong. As a Devereux Center member told him, “You’re one of us.”

Poetic thoughts

uddhist, “deep ecologist,” and Pulitzer Prize‒winning poet Gary Snyder is, as Eliot Weinberger wrote in the Paris Review, “a rarity in the United States: an immensely popular poet whose work is taken seriously by other poets.”

The Santa Barbara Independent caught up with Snyder over the phone ahead of his Santa Barbara appearance An Evening of Poetry and Conversation, Wednesday, November 4, 8 p.m., at UCSB’s Campbell Hall.

In one of your earlier poems, “Axe Handles,” you quote a folk song in the Shih Jing, the Classic of Poetry: “ ‘In making the handle / Of an axe / By cutting wood with an axe / The model is indeed near at hand.’” The poems in your new collection, This Present Moment, vary considerably in form from poem to poem. Can you talk a little about how the form of a poem decides itself for you or is decided by some model “near at hand”? I have written several times over the years that my approach to poetic form is to, in part, allow the poem to find its own form.

This is of course not entirely literally applied. Most of my poetry is what is sometimes called “open form” poetics, which can include an occasional sestina or rhymed iambic-pentameter couplets. But the truly open-form strategy is one of leaving the colloquial “spoken language” to find a voice which is compressed and lightly musical without calling too much attention to itself and has an energy that carries the narrative devices straight on through. I like strong endings, too — endings which move the whole perspective out to a larger scale.

A witty raconteur with the singer-songwriter chops to share the stage with Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt, actor Jeff Daniels is a bona fide Americana roots musician, garnering comparisons to John Prine for his humor and musicianship. He’ll perform songs from his new album Days Like These.

In “Fixing the System,” you write, “every valve / leaks a little / there is no / stopping the flow.” Do those lines have a larger significance for you? I should ask, “Do they have a larger significance for you?” I simply wrote the poem, but I need not show my hand. As an artist I am setting up little lures or traps and then want to see what gets caught.

Then you’ve caught me! I suppose I was moved to ask the question here because, like William Carlos Williams, you make the rhythms of everyday speech sound magical. I wish I knew how it happens!

It doesn’t always.

When that transformation does occur, do you feel it taking place? I do. It’s partly my respect and love and appreciation for ordinary speech that keeps me attuned to those rhythms. I’m not against high-flown literary writing, but in poetry in general, I find poets to be too literate — they sound too much like they’ve been reading other poets’ books.

4•1•1

by David Starkey The penultimate poem in This Present Moment, “Go Now,” describes the death and cremation of your wife in unflinching detail. Then the collection ends with the brief title poem: “This present moment / that lives on / to become / long ago.” That seems like an important pairing. It would be odd if a poet ended a book of poems with a title and a final poem that did not throw light on the whole collection. I will make the point that many people who are perfectly aware that they live in the present moment always — that we are all, always, in the “present moment”— may sometimes overlook that their “long ago” once consisted of present moments. As a position, it is very clearly Buddhist but also just common sense.

Buddhism and common sense are two qualities in your work that I see from the very beginning right up to the new book. As you look back over a lifetime of poetry, how has your work remained consistent, and in what ways do you see it evolving? Early on I was influenced not only by colloquial speech but also classical Chinese poetry. My other poetic influences have been from the classical world, particularly the Greeks and Sanskrit and the vernacular poets of India. I’ve been reading and listening to poetry and prose all my life, and along the way I’ve picked up little pointers and possibilities from lots of other literatures.

An Evening of Poetry and Conversation with Gary Snyder takes place Wednesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. at UCSB’s Campbell Hall. For tickets and more information, call 893-3535 or see artsandlectures.sa.ucsb.edu.

Other standouts becoming too dense. This Hound has some in the large cast include George Coe as James teeth, but he’s a bit more bark than bite. n

A FArcicAl ExiStEncE Mad & a Goat. At Westmont College’s Black Box Theatre, Friday, October 23.

Reviewed by Maggie Yates

D

iana Lynn Small’s Westmont-mounted production of Mad & a Goat is a brutally funny depiction of one woman’s increasingly harried attempts to pay off crippling student debt. Paige Tautz and Heather Johnson give commanding, utterly in-sync performances as the shared main character, as well as hilariously biased representations of the other characters in the story. An exhaustingly physical show, Mad & a Goat is told in equal parts narration and movement.

The Woman, who borrows $100,000 to pursue the assumed entitlement of a college education, feels the weight of her excessive loans. Tautz and Johnson play the type-A millennial who schemes to erase her debt and manifest the stylish life she deserves. She tries to donate her eggs to make a fast $8,000 but discovers that her blood contains traces of mad cow disease. Her parents awkwardly explain that she was adopted from a cult on a north-prairie goat farm, and the disease is most likely the result of a childhood goat bite.

The Woman is unsettled by the news but titillated by opportunity when she learns that her reward for living in the cult for a year is inheriting the farm, valued at $1 million.

She moves to the farm and finds herself amid a culture in uproarious contradiction to her extravagant materialism. Tricked into marriage by an attractive cult member, she loses sole ownership of the property. She secretly has a baby, which she sells to the father for half the farm’s worth, and moves back to the city — debt-, child-, and fancy-free. Yet, despite the seeming lack of consequences, there are hints of emotional growth: The Woman wonders if she loves the goats and recognizes a fondness for the rube husband she’s been bamboozling.

Aware of each other within the same experience, Johnson and Tautz display the subtle evolution of a character unwilling to change. The Woman’s situation becomes increasingly bizarre with each desperate act as she attempts to erase the past by paying off her debt. The performers make a delightful mess of the stage and their character’s life, and escape it by covering it with a tarp, a cleanup job that doesn’t really clean. Mad & a Goat is a crisp, innovative production in which nothing is wasted or superfluous — the show has driving intensity of purpose, delightfully wicked humor, and nonstop physicality. n

The Art All Around Us: Illustration and Visual Culture in America Scott Anderson, Associate Professor of Art, Westmont

5:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 4, 2015 University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street Free and open to the public. For information, call 565-6051.

Our society understands that art shapes culture.

But people may be less aware of the specific role the niche of illustration plays in affecting the world around us, from creating pop culture iconography to influencing political opinion.

An award-winning illustrator with clients including The Wall Street Journal and Variety, Scott Anderson will discuss the working life of the contemporary illustrator and present a slideshow of powerful imagery that celebrates various milestones of illustration. Anderson will contend that the collective impact of illustration on our culture, while often subconsciously unnoticed, is nonetheless profound.

ROCK ’N’ SKULL: If you’re uncertain how to spend your Halloween week-

end, Santa Barbara’s music venues offer many opportunities to get your ghoul on. Over at Velvet Jones on Friday, the comical rocker/rapper and all-around prankster Smoov-E will deliver both tricks and treats with hits like “Mr. Biscuits” and “Dick Like Mine” (423 State St., 8pm). A few blocks farther north at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St., 9pm), the 15- to 20-piece act Vaud and the Villains kick off the weekend with its theatrical take on New Orleans big-band jazz. Billed “American Noir meets Moulin Rouge,” the flamboyantly dressed assortment of musicians will be the perfect musical accompaniment to all of us costumed in sexier versions of someone else’s day-job uniform.

If EDM is more your style, We the Beat hosts the summery sounds of Viceroy for its Freak the Beat dance night at El Paseo (813 Anacapa St., 9pm), where the Indian summer heat shall rise once more in the form of dancefloor perspiration. Elsewhere that night, over at Center Stage Theater (751 Paseo Nuevo, 8pm), Zombie Rock: Open Mic Night for the Undead, a rock musical written by members of indie-rock band The Agreeables, continues its run through Halloween.

On Halloween itself, The Olés play at Pure Order’s Halloween Party (410 N. Quarantina St., noon-7pm). We at The Santa Barbara Independent recently deemed them one of the area’s best up-and-coming bands, and we can think of few better ways to ease into the night than by enjoying some free-flowing, reggae-inspired vibes with a side of good beer. Having gotten a little tipsy, one could glide like a ghost over to SOhO for The Molly Ringwald Project that evening—recommended especially for those who are going for an ’80s costume (9:30pm).

Having no doubt sweated through your kit on the dance floor, you can also find a musical cleansing on Sunday at SOhO when Pure Bathing Culture soaks us through with their Portland-brand indie synth-rock (9pm).

They have a song called “Pray for Rain,” which hopefully will encourage a wet and watery winter ahead.

ROCK ON WATER: Speaking of water, CEO/musician/philanthropist Pete Muller rocks for a cause on Wednesday, November 4, at SOhO when he

plays a dual album release and fundraising benefit show for MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation (7:15pm). Sales for his newest album, Two Truths and a Lie, are helping fund charity: water, an organization dedicated to providing accessible water to villages and communities around the globe. He and his eight-piece band are playing a string of concerts around the nation in support of the new material, with each concert also raising funds for a different charitable cause in each city.

An early supporter of MOXI along with his wife, Muller felt the upcoming science museum was a natural fit for his charitable musical quest. “We love living in Santa Barbara, and we’re totally excited to be able to perform in support of an institution that’s going to make Santa Barbara a better place,” he said.

The title of his newest album points to the songwriting process. “Songwriting needs to be centered in truth, but sometimes the truth needs a little help. Sometimes it’s okay and desirable to embellish a bit,” he said. He hopes his music helps others find their inner truths. “If you pick up my message, it’s to figure out what your passion is about and to do it with your full heart. n Life is great when you do that.”

Rock THe kaSbaH Bill Murray, Leem Lubany, and Kate Hudson star in a film written by Mitch Glazer and directed by Barry Levinson.

H

ow can a movie with this kind of daring premise and multigenerational hipster cast—Bill Murray, Zooey Deschanel, and Kate Hudson—turn so gloppy and patronizing? Easy. Barry Levinson directed it. It was almost guaranteed that the Levinson touch would dull the satiric edge of this alleged comic romp through the country today beset with American meddling, the Taliban, skirmishes on the Pakistan border, and an earthquake. Now Afghanis must endure scrutiny by the man who made pacifism boring with Toys. Sure, Levinson in his prime made Good Morning, Vietnam, bundling war’s miseries and cozy humanism under an antic façade. (Would Rock the Kasbah have been good if Robin Williams starred in it?)

But Levinson hasn’t been memorable for a long time, and even with anarchic Murray, he’s lost in vast sands here.

Murray himself hasn’t exactly been glorious lately (Wes Anderson films excepted), and this one is more like St. Vincent than Zombieland.

He stars as a desperate agent named Richie Lanz tricked into taking his latest find, Ronnie (Zooey Deschanel), to Afghanistan to entertain

the troops. Sordid misadventures ensue, until Ronnie deserts Richie, taking his cash, wallet, and passport, stranding him in downtown Warzonia with only a pair of sleazy American arms dealers to help out.

Maybe it sounds like the grist for 100 satirical mills, but all Levinson and his screenwriter Mitch Glazer (Scrooged) can manage is a halfhearted wrestling match between a beautiful and talented Pashtun woman and her warlord papa to allow her to perform on the Afghani version of The Voice. In executing said plot, Murray and company manage to score a few points about Islamic sexism and the futility of war, but not before making the people of the country seem buffoonish and American culture seem infinitely superior. Maybe the country that successfully resisted Alexander the Great, the Mongols, and British, Russian, and American imperialism for thousands of years is not immune to satire.

But its living people deserve something less arid than this.

GET SOMETHING BACK THIS HALLOWEEN...

Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, and Seth Rogen star in a film written by Aaron Sorkin, based on the book by Walter Isaacson, and directed by Danny Boyle.

YOUR CANDY FOR CASH...

T

echnically this may be a Danny Boyle film, but this movie belongs to Aaron Sorkin: It’s his masterpiece. Some critics have complained that this is a talking movie, a backstage drama. They couldn’t be more right. It’s a soaring, engaging, intricately choreographed film crammed with conversations, fights, and even touching exchanges. It’s thrilling talk, so much so that at one point Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender, the only leading man who matters) spells the programming out self-consciously.Why is it, he asks, that just before every product unveiling, everybody goes to the bar and comes back and tells me exactly what they think of me? The film is so self-assured that after explaining the main joke, we laugh and the movie keeps rolling beautifully forward.

Sorkin’s thefts and methods are Shakespearean in scope. He’s taken a larger-than-life real person, drawn directly from Walter Isaacson’s popular biography, like the Bard stole from the novels of his day, and then bent real events to fit his needs. Then, like Shakespeare, he’s opened up a field of themes rather than beat some single horse to death. He’s made Jobs both despicable and amazing — though it’s

iTALK: Michael Fassbender portrays the glorious tyrant in Steve Jobs.

ultimately a sympathetic portrayal of the man.

The three-act screenplay tries to square the egotism and cruelty of Jobs against an abiding drive to make a difference in the world. He’s both large and grotesquely tiny in his concentration—at least until people, like his longneglected daughter, Lisa, show him something he wants to see.

Boyle’s directorial methods are mostly disciplined. His cameras rove when they need to, and he uses CGI and some weird subliminal foreshadowing, just because he can’t help imitating the mannerist 1970s directors he admires, such as Nicholas Roeg; Boyle famously used three formats—16 mm, 35 mm, and digital cameras—to shoot the film.What’s genius about it, though, is that it doesn’t get in the way of great actors talking with heat, managing to convey occasional sweetness during this brief chronicle of a glorious tyrant. — DJP

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of octobeR 29 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): On a January morning in 1943, the town of Spearfish, South Dakota, experienced very weird weather. At 7:30 a.m. the temperature was minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit. In the next two minutes, due to an unusual type of wind sweeping down over nearby Lookout Mountain, thermometers shot up 49 degrees. Over the next hour and a half, the air grew even warmer. But by 9:30, the temperature had plummeted back to minus 4 degrees. I’m wondering if your moods might swing with this much bounce in the coming weeks. As long as you keep in mind that no single feeling is likely to last very long, it doesn’t have to be a problem. You may even find a way to enjoy the breathtaking ebbs and flows. Halloween costume suggestion: roller coaster rider, Jekyll and Hyde, warm clothes on one side of your body and shorts or bathing suit on the other.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): How dare you be so magnetic and tempting! What were you thinking when you turned up the intensity of your charm to such a high level? I suggest you consider exercising more caution about expressing your radiance. People may have other things to do besides daydreaming about you.

But if you really can’t bring yourself to be a little less attractive — if you absolutely refuse to tone yourself down — please at least try to be extra kind and generous. Share your emotional wealth. Overflow with more than your usual allotments of blessings. Halloween costume suggestion: a shamanic Santa Claus or a witchy Easter Bunny.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the last 10 days of November and the month of December, I suspect there will be wildcard interludes when you can enjoy smart gambles, daring stunts, cute tricks, and mythic escapades. But the next three weeks will not be like that. On the contrary. For the immediate future, I think you should be an upstanding citizen, a well-behaved helper, and a dutiful truth-teller. Can you handle that? If so, I bet you will get sneak peaks of the fun and productive mischief that could be yours in the last six weeks of

2015. Halloween costume suggestion: the most normal person in the world.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Members of the gazelle species known as the springbok periodically engage in a behavior known as pronking. They leap into the air and propel themselves a great distance with all four feet off the ground, bounding around with abandon.

What evolutionary purpose does this serve? Some scientists are puzzled, but not naturalist David Attenborough. In the documentary film Africa, he follows a springbok herd as it wanders through the desert for months, hoping to find a rare rainstorm. Finally it happens. As if in celebration, the springboks erupt with an outbreak of pronking. “They are dancing for joy,” Attenborough declares. Given the lucky breaks and creative breakthroughs coming your way, Cancerian, I foresee you doing something similar. Halloween costume suggestion: a pronking gazelle, a hippetyhopping bunny, a boisterous baby goat.

LEO

entertains. Furthermore, use the same approach to round up any other experience you yearn for. The way you play with language will be crucial in your efforts to fulfill your wishes. Luckily, I expect your persuasive powers to be even greater than they usually are. Halloween costume suggestion: the ultimate salesperson.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I encourage you to be super rhythmical and melodious in the coming days. Don’t just sing in the shower and in the car. Hum and warble and whistle while shopping for vegetables and washing the dishes and walking the dog. Allot yourself more than enough time to shimmy and cavort, not just on the dance floor but anywhere else you can get away with it. For extra credit, experiment with lyrical flourishes whenever you’re in bed doing the jizzle-skazzle. Halloween costume suggestion: wandering troubadour, street musician, free-styling rapper, operatic diva, medicine woman who heals with sound.

SCORPIO

(July 23-Aug. 22): “A very little key will open a very heavy door,” wrote Charles Dickens in his short story “Hunted Down.” Make that one of your guiding meditations in the coming days, Leo. In the back of your mind, keep visualizing the image of a little key opening a heavy door. Doing so will help ensure that you’ll be alert when clues about the real key’s location become available. You will have a keen intuitive sense of how you’ll need to respond if you want to procure it.

Halloween costume suggestion: proud and protective possessor of a magic key.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I expect you to be in a state of continual birth for the next four weeks. Awakening and activation will come naturally. Your drive to blossom and create may be irresistible, bordering on unruly.

Does that sound overwhelming? I don’t think it will be a problem as long as you cultivate a mood of amazed amusement about how strong it feels. To help maintain your poise, keep in mind that your growth spurt is a natural response to the dissolution that preceded it.

Halloween costume suggestion: a fountain, an erupting volcano, the growing beanstalk from the “Jack and the Beanstalk” fairy tale.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The ancient Hindu text known as the Kama Sutra gives extensive advice about many subjects, including love and sex.“Though a man loves a woman ever so much,” reads a passage in chapter four, “he never succeeds in winning her without a great deal of talking.” Take that as your cue, Virgo.

In the coming weeks, stir up the intimacy you want with a great deal of incisive talking that beguiles and

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.” So says Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield. Can you guess why I’m bringing it to your attention, Sagittarius? It’s one of those times when you can do yourself a big favor by sloughing off the stale, worn-out, decaying parts of your past. Luckily for you, you now have an extraordinary talent for doing just that. I suspect you will

also receive unexpected help and surprising grace as you proceed. Halloween costume suggestion: a snake molting its skin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Speaking on behalf of your wild mind, I’m letting you know that you’re due for an immersion in revelry and festivity. Plugging away at business as usual could become counterproductive unless you take at least brief excursions to the frontiers of pleasure. High integrity may become sterile unless you expose it to an unpredictable adventure or two. Halloween costume suggestion: party animal, hell raiser, social butterfly, god or goddess of delight.

Every one of us harbors a touch of crazy genius that periodically needs to be unleashed, and now is that time for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I hope you will choose a Halloween costume that emboldens you to feel powerful. For the next three weeks, it’s in your long-term interest to invoke a visceral sense of potency, dominion, and sovereignty. What clothes and trappings might stimulate these qualities in you? Those of a king or queen?

A rock star or CEO? A fairy godmother, superhero, or dragon-tamer? Only you know which archetypal persona will help stir up your untapped reserves of confidence and command.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It’s time to stretch the boundaries, Pisces. You have license to expand the containers and outgrow the expectations and wage rebellion for the sheer fun of it. The frontiers are calling you. Your enmeshment in small talk and your attachment to trivial wishes are hereby suspended. Your mind yearns to be blown and blown and blown again! I dare you to wander outside your overly safe haven and go in quest of provocative curiosities. Halloween costume suggestions: mad scientist, wild-eyed revolutionary, Dr. Who. Homework: What is your greatest fear? Make fun of it this Halloween. Tell me about it at FreeWillAstrology.com.

Original Owner: Harry & Eliza Ellen Hawcroft Year of Construction: 1889 Designer: Ralph Kinton Stevens Contractor: William Nickelson

T

his simple one-and-a-halfstory Victorian house with high gabled roof, shiplap siding, and fish-scale shingles was designed by owner/builder Ralph Kinton Stevens and contractor William Nickelson in 1889. Several years before construction began, Stevens and his wife had acquired a Montecito farm at the corner of Sycamore Canyon and Cold Springs roads and used the property as a commercial nursery. In later years, this property became the botanical wonderland of Madame Ganna Walska, now known as her legendary Lotusland estate.

The Stevenses’ son, Ralph Kinton Stevens Jr., became a well-celebrated landscape architect in Santa Barbara, for whom Stevens Park in the San Roque neighborhood is dedicated. His noted gardens include the Peabody estate, the 1949 master plan for UCSB, Casa del Herrero, Lotusland, The Biltmore hotel, and Franceschi Park on the Riviera.

In the summer of 1889, shortly after construction finalized, the house was sold for $800 to Eliza Ellen Hawcroft and her husband, the noted blacksmith who was known as “Lord Harry” because of his deep English accent, stately bearing, and immaculate appearance. The couple resided at the property until Harry’s death in 1933. Since then, the home has had a select few owners, all of whom have taken part in maintaining the residence to its original charm and character.

M

y friend Stephanie has a loud, distinctive laugh that makes me smile just thinking about it. She also has strong opinions on topics as varied as politics, literature, and beer. Steph doesn’t hold back on either her laughter or her opinions. So when she said to me last week, “I’ve got a bone to pick with you,” I wasn’t sure what the topic would be, but I was ready for a lively exchange.

It turns out that Stephanie, like many Santa Barbara residents, can’t afford to buy a $14 million house, and she’s tired of reading about them in my column.“It’s depressing” she complained. “What about the rest of us?”

We all know that Santa Barbara will never make anyone’s top-10 list of most affordable cities in which to buy a home. There are a lot of high-end properties, and I try to share a variety of styles, locales, and price ranges in this column. However, I figured it might be smart to pay attention to Steph’s complaint rather than debate her. So this week we’re visiting a one-bedroom Goleta condominium priced near the bottom of the available area listings at $339,000.

It turns out that being at the bottom of the price range doesn’t mean one has to sacrifice. This cute condo has it all. It’s a corner unit at the back of The Grove, surrounded by a tall, cool forest of eucalyptus trees. Walking down the path to get to its front door is a magical few minutes of quiet solitude in dappled sunlight.

Once inside, you’re in your own private retreat. Everything’s bright and clean: light walls, white carpet, and light-wood cabinets. You’ve got a blank canvas to create your own sweet space. This home is about 700 square feet, so there’s nothing spacious about it, but the condo is open and airy and makes smart use of the space. The kitchen is efficient and has a small dining room adjacent. The bedroom is much larger than many I’ve lived in, and it surprised me with a walk-in closet. The living room is big enough to get creative, and it even has a fireplace. The unit has its own washer/dryer and carport: luxuries that not all area houses offer. The patio provides a private spot to enjoy the eucalyptus grove views. Possibly the best features of all are the pool, hot tub, and community gym that are part of the complex.

Located near Citrix and Dioji on Hollister Avenue and across from the Ellwood Bluffs, The Grove seems like an ideal location to enjoy the good life of the shops, restaurants, and amenities of the Good Land. This cute, quiet corner unit is priced to be within the realm of imagination of a single professional or maybe a couple who’s looking to downsize and simplify. I walked out happily considering the options that this compact condominium provides, and hoping that my friend Stephanie would agree.

by Dennis Allen less than $30 and some much less. A popular WaterSense 1.5 gpm model

by Niagara has received stellar customer reviews and costs only $8, yielding a payback of less than a year from savings on water bills. These calculations do not even factor in the energy savings from not having to run the water heater as much.

The County of Santa Barbara and most municipalities here have a free showerheadexchange program—bring in an old showerhead, and you will receive a new 1.5 gpm gratis. If you haven’t already installed a 1.5 gpm WaterSense showerhead, the time is right: Save money, water, and energy, help the environment, and enjoy your showers more than ever. As we move ever deeper into drought cycles in California, imagine what the 7,300 gallons of shower water saved per family could mean for the water supply in our community as well as other communin ties throughout the state.

f you have an old toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush, apply for the statewide toilet rebate at this website: saveourwaterrebates .com/toilet-rebates.html.

WAter-SAvinG tip of the Week

OCTOBER 29, 2015

I

n 1992, the federal government changed the maximum showerhead water flow from 5.5 gallons per minute (gpm) to 2.5 gpm, thereby cutting showering water use to less than half. In 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency created a voluntary labeling program to conserve water called WaterSense. It is similar to the Energy Star program, which promotes energy savings in home appliances and equipment. Both programs use independent, third-party labs for testing.

For a showerhead to qualify for a WaterSense label, it must use no more than 2 gpm, plus meet strict user-satisfaction standards; specifically, that means a spray pattern that ensures complete, even coverage and an intensity or pressure delivery for effective rinsing of soap or shampoo. Fortunately, recent technologies have introduced air induction and vacuum booster components into showerhead designs so as to avoid the “low flow” feel. In fact, low gpm showerheads that used to be called “low flow” are now referred to as “high efficiency.”

Showers account for 17 percent of residential indoor water use, or about 40 gallons per family per day on average. Based on average usage and the federal standard 2.5 gpm showerhead, shortening your daily shower by one minute will save 550 gallons per year. Switching your showerhead to a WaterSense label (2 gpm), however, cuts water consumption by 20 percent, or 2,900 gallons per year. Even better are the numerous models rated at 1.5 gpm and 1.25 gpm (some carry the WaterSense certificate) with respective water savings of 40 percent and 50 percent.

Although the price tag can run as high as $80 for these water misers, the majority are

Around the Area

An understated elegance permeates the wealthy, semirural enclave of Montecito, where towering trees and exotic flora do a good job of hiding the opulent mansions that rest behind stately hedgerows and ornate gates. Aside from the Chumash people who lived off the creeks and coastline for millennia, the first settlers were retired soldiers from the Santa Barbara Presidio, and their comparably spartan adobes can still be seen in what locals call “Old Spanish Town.”

The town first attracted the moneyed class with the development of the Hot Springs Resort in the 1860s, built upon a spring that the Chumash believed contained magical healing waters. The resort

(pictured). The town is indeed home to some of the richest and most famous people on the planet, but there are also more modest residents who choose the area for its great schools and rural way of life.

In addition to the coastline, which stretches down toward Summerland along Hammond’s Beach, the soon-to-be-rebuilt Miramar Resort, and Shark’s Cove at Fernald Point, hiking trails wind up into the mountains behind Montecito and beyond.

The rare-plant-filled gardens of Lotusland are also worth exploring at length, and the Casa del Herrero estate is a historic landmark that does great justice to explaining the origins of Santa Barbara architecture. n

was popular until 1962, when the Coyote Fire claimed its wooden structures. By then, the San Ysidro Ranch was already established as one of the most peaceful places to stay on the West Coast, with Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy (who honeymooned there with Jackie) as some of its more prominent fans.

The influx of well-off Yankees from the late 19th century onward led to the development of the more than 200 grand estates (with names like Bonnymede, Riven Rock, and Arcady) and myriad churches as well as golf courses, equestrian trails, tennis courts, and polo fields. The community fought against overt commercialization at every opportunity, though, banning billboards and couching retail shops and restaurants into only select corners.

Today, public life in Montecito revolves around the eateries and shops of Coast Village Road and the Upper Village, as well as along the coastline at Butterfly Beach across from the Four Seasons Biltmore resort and the Coral Casino private club

Long considered one of the wealthiest communities in the country, Montecito is home to sprawling, meticulously landscaped estates owned by the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Rob Lowe, but the roughly 9,000 residents are mostly cut from a more modest cloth, willing to pay a bit more to enjoy the semirural lifestyle and amazing schools like Cold Spring and Montecito Union. The entire community feels like one big park, with hiking trails and equestrian paths that travel between towering oak, sycamore, palm, and eucalyptus trees from the rocky mountains to the sandy beaches. The hubs of Coast Village Road and the Upper Village provide all the restaurants, markets, salons, and other modern creature comforts required.

Gustavo the Gardenator

by Michael Redmon

Leaf Blowing 101

named for its poisonous reptiles?

There are three different types of leaf blowers that are used, so here are the pros and cons of each.

Gas-Powered: These

by Gustavo Uribe are affordable — handheld versions run $150$400, while backpack ones are $250-$500—and they work extremely well. But as the city’s rules indicate, they are noisy and not as environmentally friendly.

Corded Electric: These are really affordable—only $50-$100. However, as Gustavo notes,“Son muy baratas, pero no me gustan usarlos porque el p***** cordón.” (They’re cheap, but the power cord is a pain in the butt.)

Battery-Powered (Cordless Electric): The handheld versions aren’t too much, $60-$350, but the backpacks are very expensive, like $600-$1,200.

Gustavo likes those, explaining,“Están chingonas, son como bazucas—tienen buen power.” (They are pretty badass, like bazookas—very powerful.)

Despite the city’s rules, Gustavo says most gardeners use gas blowers and corded electric blowers. The city itself uses a lot of battery-powered blowers, but they only work for about an hour before needing a recharge. He uses all three types, but it really comes down to economics. The more the batterypowered blowers come down in price, the more gardeners will use them.

Keep in mind that there is a difference between doing homeowner backyard work and being a professional gardener in the field: There can be multiple job sites lined up in a day or there can be huge job sites, such as schools or Montecito houses, that need to be cleaned up in a certain amount of time. A gardener will be trimming hedges, cutting grass, and doing landscape maintenance prior to leaf blowing, so he needs to take into account arm fatigue and speed. The professional gardener is mostly concerned with getting access to the most powerful, practical, and cost-effective leaf blower to finish his job quickly.

Gustavo Uribe is a fifth-generation agricultural specialist who has worked as a professional gardener in Santa Barbara for more than 30 years. His son, Gustavo, Jr., writes this column. Send your gardening questions to Gustavo@independent.com .

Soon after his arrival, Skofield began construction of a large house off of presentday Gibraltar Road.

The 1929 stock market crash halted construction of the home. In 1931, Skofield’s son, Hobart, arrived to manage his father’s properties. Hobart had left his New York banking career in 1926 to indulge his love of books and had gone to work for William Edwin Rudge, owner of one of the largest fine printing houses in the country.

Hobart remained a life-long bibliophile.

He eventually gave his collection of 13,000 books to the library at UCSB. Ray Skofield, a founding member of Rancheros Visitadores, set aside part of his property for the group to use on their annual trek over the Santa Ynez Mountains. In 1950, Hobart oversaw the sale of this 35-acre parcel to the Rancheros for $15,000. Housing development in the ensuing years made the site less useful to the Rancheros, and in 1964, the group sold the land to the city, which christened it Skofield Park.

In 1947, Hobart entertained an offer from the Holy Cross Episcopalian Monastery Order for his father’s still uncompleted canyon house. The order was looking for a West Coast retreat to complement their retreat in New York. There the order was housed until wildfire in 2008 destroyed the compound and the order moved to the 500 block of East Los Olivos Street.

Toward the end of the 1960s, Hobart and his sister, Ermine, decided to offer the balance of the family holdings to the city as parkland. In 1970, with a combination of city, county, and federal funds, the transfer of more than 450 acres was completed—a gift to the thousands of hikers who enjoy the area annually.

professional gardener in the Santa Barbara region for more than 30 years, Gustavo the Gardenator has lots of tools in his backyard (where this picture was taken). He also works part-time on the weekends for the City of Santa Barbara, so he knows the rules and knows the business. And thanks for the questions, because it’s about time Gustavo schooled us all in the sacred gardening art of leaf blowing.

attlesnake Canyon is one of the most popular hiking and recreational areas in Santa Barbara. The Spanish first “developed” the canyon in the early 1800s, evidence of which can still be seen today.

The Spanish called the canyon Las Canoas (The Canoes), for reasons that remain a mystery. In the second half of the 1800s, the canyon came to be called Rattlesnake, again for unknown reasons, for there is no evidence that the canyon ever harbored more of these reptiles than any other local wilderness area.

Around 1808, Chumash laborers constructed a dam and an aqueduct to connect the canyon creek to the rest of the Santa Barbara Mission water system. The dam and part of the aqueduct are still extant.

In the 1870s, one of the first settlers was Mattias Reyes, who lived in an adobe in the lower portion of the canyon.

In 1900, William O’Connor took out a 160-acre homestead in a meadow in the upper reaches of the canyon. By law, he had to put up some kind of structure to lay claim to the land; he gathered five-gallon kerosene cans, crushed them, and used them for the roof and sides for his “Tin Can Shack.” It was destroyed by wildfire in 1925.

Another interesting feature of the canyon is the stone bridge built by mason Peter Poole in 1919. At the behest of County Supervisor Sam Stanwood, Poole used rounded stones for the bridge façade, as Stanwood believed it would better blend the bridge into its natural surroundings.

Owen O’Neill, longtime County Surveyor, was the designer.

Ray L. Skofield, a New York City stockbroker, purchased the canyon in 1927. In the mid-1920s, his family moved here, hoping the climate would help Skofield’s ailing wife.

Why does this column show a gasoline-powered blower when these machines have been banned in the City of Santa Barbara since 1997?

Why “advertise” this polluting and now-illegal-to-use blower?
