28-Page Special Report on Santa Barbara’s Quietly Booming Tech Sector

adventure time Independent ads work, we say modestly. For Tech-Topia, something like 80 companies answered the survey at the issue’s advertisement, just for starters. Then Senior Editor Matt Kettmann (center) collected about 40,000 words’ worth of notes on more than three dozen high-tech companies, talked with more than 30 experts, and sorted through 1,000-plus emails. Once he’d whittled it all down, he realized, “We hadn’t ever really covered our tech scene in a substantial way, and once I started poking around, it became the longest article I’ve ever done.”

All the applied-science biz starts at our centerfold.

city

historic elections, ho-hum Turnout

Incumbents Roll, and Jason Dominguez Crushes NEW KID: The big winner was Jason Dominguez (center) shown celebrating with Councilmember Bendy White (left).

T

by N i c k W e l s h

hough this year’s Santa Barbara City Council elections were nothing less than historic—the first time in 60 years city voters have elected their councilmembers by geographic district—the turnout was less than awe inspiring as only 35 percent of registered voters cast ballots. Typically, that percentage hovers between 38 and 42 percent citywide.

Incumbent Councilmember Randy Rowse — now representing District 2’s Mesa and upper Westside neighborhoods — beat his nearest opponents (Luis Esparza and Missy McSweeney-Zeitsoff) by a margin of five to one, but that outcome was all but preordained.

Rowse —a popular moderate-conservative, decline-to-state candidate—faced no viable opposition despite the three names stacked against him on the ballot. He was expected to cakewalk to a sweat-free victory, and he did exactly that. This notable lack of suspense might explain why turnout was lowest in Rowse’s district even though it’s populated with some of the highest propensity voters within city limits. Even Rowse’s victory party, held at his restaurant, the Paradise Café, was a desultory affair; about 15 self-described “old people” squinted at the wall-mounted TV in the bar for election results as waves of Santa Barbara City College journalism students washed in and out looking for quotes for their class assignment.

No fan of district elections — forced on City Hall by a lawsuit alleging Latino voters have been effectively disenfranchised by ethnically disparate voting patterns — Rowse expressed concern the new council would not care as much about “the whole city.” That being 8

said, he pledged to continue pushing for a new and improved police station, while throwing himself into the hyper-localized politics of pothole filling and mattress removal.

The other incumbent to win by an impressive if predictable victory margin was Westside resident Cathy Murillo, running for District 3. Murillo beat rival Sharon Byrne, a community activist best known for her work on the Eastside with the Milpas Community Association (MCA), by a margin of two to one. Murillo celebrated by hosting an alcoholfree “tacos and cake” party at Super Cucas by San Andres and Micheltorena streets on the Westside. The only Latina ever elected to the council, Murillo pledged to double down on such micro-neighborhood issues as speeding, parking, stop signs, and street-beautification efforts. Frequently mentioned as a potential mayoral candidate two years hence, Murillo —who holds down the political left on the council—told reporters at City Hall, real and J-school students alike, she was committed to serve “not just the next four years but forever.”

The big news of the night was not just that Jason Dominquez won his bid to become the first councilmember representing the Eastside’s District 1 but the extent to which he utterly squashed his two main rivals, Andria Martinez Cohen and Jacqueline Inda. (Inda, a grassroots community activist, was one of the litigants in the district-elections lawsuit.

Martinez Cohen was strongly backed by the Democratic Party, public employee labor unions, and CAUSE [Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy], otherwise known as “The Machine.”) In the one district with no incumbents, Dominguez—a lifelong Democrat — won despite strenuous opposition from his own party and with

NovEmbEr 5, 2015

equally enthusiastic support by Republican Party leaders like Central Committee Chair (and outgoing councilmember) Dale Francisco. (Party bylaws preclude the Republican Party from officially endorsing candidates of opposing parties.)

Dominguez, by far the oldest of the District 1 candidates, boasted a résumé that included stints with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s and county District Attorney’s offices, and the Santa Barbara County Counsel’s office, not to mention eight months as executive director of the Legal Aid Foundation. Such credentials stood him in good stead with moderate voters of both parties, big shots within the downtown business community, and activists associated with the Milpas Community Association. In stark contrast, Martinez Cohen —who placed second—had no prior political experience and had been enlisted to run by councilmembers Gregg Hart and Cathy Murillo after attending a forum about women in political power.

Dominguez held his victory party at El Bajio restaurant on Milpas Street, a politically charged statement. El Bajio’s owners took intense flak earlier this year for supporting a business improvement district proposed by the MCA and denounced by Councilmember Murillo, smaller Latino-owned businesses in the area, and a handful of Latino activists. On election night, Dominguez said he chose El Bajio “for its great Mexican food,” but in the months to come, he’ll have to decide between the MCA plan and a competitive but much smaller proposal hatched by his campaign rival Jacqueline Inda.

Almost universally, the explanation given for Dominguez’s success is,“He worked his ass off.” According to aneccont’d page 11 

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Victoria Harris, 67, of Cambria was killed in a hit-and-run on Hollister Avenue west of Arboleda Road on the night of 10/30. Eileen E. Fox, 50, of Santa Barbara was driving her 2013 Nissan Murano westbound on Hollister, where Harris had parked her 2015 Toyota Corolla on the road’s shoulder.

The CHP reports Harris stepped out of her car and was hit by the Nissan. She died due to injuries at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Fox fled the scene but was later arrested at a Goleta residence for alleged felony hitand-run and involuntary manslaughter. She was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on $100,000 bail and bailed out.

The streets were quiet this Halloween in Isla Vista, with only about 500 partygoers roaming Del Playa compared to 12,00015,000 in 2013. Pending final numbers, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover said 16 people were cited, and 28 were arrested for misdemeanors over a two-day period. Last year, I.V. saw 40 Halloween weekend citations and 40 arrests; 250 citations and 200 arrests were made during 2013’s three-day operation. Only seven partyers were taken to the hospital this year, which the Sheriff’s Office said is much lower than in years past.

The county supervisors took steps this week to strike the word “dangerous” from Santa Barbara’s so-called dangerous dog ordinance. Current law requires such dogs to be euthanized. Last year, Animal Services put down 300 dogs (without request). The number has steadily decreased since 2011, when 939 dogs were euthanized. (Santa Maria had the highest percentage.)

CITY Noting the downgrade of Saks Fifth Avenue on the corner of Carrillo and State to its discount store, Saks Off 5th, Michael Martz, a founding partner at Hayes Commercial Group, stated last week that demand has dropped for downtown’s prime shopping blocks. Martz attributed the “tepid” interest among potential tenants to the arrival of low-end retailers such as Marshalls and H&M, which he sees as diminishing State Street’s appeal as a boutique shopping area. Nonetheless, the overall retail vacancy rate in the area is 2 percent, compared to a forecast 13 percent nationwide for 2015’s third quarter.

Authorities believe 21-yearold Max Pappas shot his mother, Lori Wolf-Pappas, at her Santa Ynez Valley home before fatally shooting himself in the head. They are the son and estranged wife of Steve Pappas, who ran for 3rd District county supervisor in 2008 and lost and then spent years in court contesting the outcome.

Sheriff’s officials and California Highway Patrol officers discovered Max Pappas’s body in a car crashed on the Lori Wolf-Pappas (left) and Max Pappas 1500 block of Refugio Road at about 2:10 p.m. on October 31. Authorities believe he shot himself while driving. At the house associated with the car, Sheriff’s deputies found Wolf-Pappas, who was 57, dead.

Max Pappas had no guns registered to his name, according to Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover, and no firearms were found in the house. Hoover said the department is working to determine where the handgun came from. Max, who has a younger brother, had reportedly moved in with his father. Hoover said the deaths are under investigation and declined to release further information.

Pappas had been in a recovery home, where staff observed significant mentalhealth issues. Since January 2014, three disturbance calls were reported at his mother’s house. In the last year, two domestic-disturbance calls and three noise complaints were made at his father’s Los Olivos home. No guns were found in either home, and neither parent has guns registered to their names.

On September 2, Max Pappas was charged with attempting to “commit a violent injury” against his father, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Steve Pappas had made a citizen’s arrest for assault after Max allegedly threw a towel hanger and other items at him during an argument. Steve was not injured. Max spent the night in jail. He pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge. In 2012, Max was charged with an alcohol-related misdemeanor.

Friends recalled Max Pappas as friendly and outgoing in high school but said he had not been doing well recently. His demeanor had changed entirely, one friend said. He appeared emotionless and was reportedly in therapy. Many people have posted “Rest in Peace” messages on social media accounts.

This is the second murder-suicide in the Santa Ynez Valley in a few weeks. Last month, Gregg Hamilton shot and killed his wife, Kimberly Hamilton, before taking his own life. In the Sheriff’s Office jurisdiction, no other homicides have been reported this year; last year, there were five, and one in 2013, excluding murder— Kelsey Brugger suicides.

The total cost has been estimated upward of $800,000.

OPEN ARMS: Foster parent Jamee Baker (center), who adopted her first child last week after taking in 15 foster kids during the past five years, was recognized for National Adoption Month.

Home Sweet Home Hundreds of Foster Children Need a Family

very time Jamee Baker and her husband bring a new foster child into their Orcutt home, they go to HomeTown Buffet. It’s a ritual they began after three little girls — ages 3, 9, and 11 — arrived at their doorstep, reunited for the first time in several years. Unfed and unwashed, they were scared to death. Baker’s first instinct, as it often is, was to wrap her arms around them. But they were not receptive. “They could not even tell us what kind of food they wanted to eat,” she said. At the buffet, Baker could see what foods they chose to eat.

Baker, who is just shy of 50, was one foster parent recognized by county supervisors this week for the 15 kids she has brought into her home in the past five years. Last week, she and her second husband, Ronnie Baker—whom she married after she lost her husband to cancer 10 years ago—adopted a 14-year-old boy, Egan. Next month, they will adopt Jonathan, who is 10. They also have five biological adult children between them.

Fifty-six foster homes exist in the county, most in North County. At any given time, about 450 county kids are in foster care, spending an unknown amount of time in a home, sometimes several in one year. In the past five years, an average of 90 kids were adopted annually.

Currently, more than 100 foster children are waiting to be placed in permanent homes through adoption, and 133 children have been placed out of the county. Some have specific needs—due to substance abuse or mentalhealth problems—are living with relatives, or are older and in transitional housing (whether they prefer it or not). Foster parents receive $500-$900 a month per child based on age.

On November 18, juvenile court will finalize seven adoptions. Supervisor Doreen Farr, who has three adopted adult sons and sponsored the county recognition, recalled the county placed her first child with her family nearly 34 years ago. At a foster-care stakeholders meeting Tuesday, social services professionals talked about reducing the number of children in group homes—there are 37 children now —because a state law going into effect in 2018 only allows short-term group homes. independent.com

When a child enters a foster home, the parents are often unaware of the trauma he or she has experienced.“I think a lot of families, if they [knew] everything up front, they wouldn’t want to do it,” Baker said. “You are not going to get a foster care kid who doesn’t have baggage. You are not even going to get a regular person who doesn’t have baggage.” At least five of her foster kids, Baker said, asked if they had to shut their bedroom door at night.

She could never figure out why.

Baker recalled she would find those little girls tucked into one bed. Later, she learned all three had slept together in one bed in a trailer at their grandmother’s house. There had been no running water; they had slept in their clothes. The two little ones had no clue how to take a shower. The youngest spoke little English. “We made it through it,” Baker said, before the three were adopted.

Baker knew she wanted to be a mother by the 2nd grade. She became a foster mom one week after she married Ronnie, who had never met his father and was in and out of his mother’s home as a child. They never imagined they would adopt a child, but that changed shortly after Egan, who was 11, and his older brother, 13, arrived. “They were just itty-bitty,” she recalled. The older brother suffered from mental illness and ultimately needed to be placed in a group home for safety reasons. The decision, Baker expressed, was difficult. She decided to adopt Egan in part so he could stay close to his older brother, who is now 17, has a job, and is doing well.

Finding permanent homes for older children is often more difficult. Baker’s decision was made one day when she was touring a house she was looking to buy.“Egan was with us, running from room to room,” she recalled.

“He stops, and he goes,‘Hey, if this house is for sale and we’re buying it, does this mean it’s our forever home?’” Baker, who is a devout Christian, knew she was “supposed to be adopting him.” Egan, Baker said, still wonders,“Why do you want me?”

In accepting her award, Baker told the supervisors: “If we had a bigger house, we would take more.”

By 9 a.m., just as the fire reached a critical tipping point between some semblance of control and genuine catastrophe, “We had nine tankers in the air, and 10 helicopters,” Nunez said. A 10th plane, the venerable DC-10, arrived around 9:30 a.m.

“Because the fire was burning in two drainages, we wouldn’t have had the resources to stop it if it had started moving downhill in both canyons simultaneously,” Nunez said. The assessed property value within the Montecito Fire Protection District — which maintained evacuation warnings for its neighborhoods north of Highway 192 for 25 hours—is more than $8 billion, according to district spokesperson Geri Ventura.

By noon, promises of averted disaster started to take shape, but crews remained vigilant as the forecast called for another blow of afternoon sundowners.

The collective sigh of relief came Friday morning, after a long night without any flare-ups.

The general sentiment among firefighters is that the multiagency coordination was an exemplary effort combined with favorable alignment in the heavens. While Thursday’s sundowners—though nerve-racking—didn’t live up to their ominous forecast, Gibraltar crews had also enjoyed the operational ease of not having to compete for aircraft, engines, and boots on the ground, as no other major fires were burning in the state. Add that good fortune to the fact that firefighters have been in training for a worse-case scenario. After all, firestorms are Santa Barbara’s most common natural disaster.

Back in April — as the region entered its fourth year of severe drought, with all its attendant dead or dying grassland, shrubs, and trees—a multiagency caravan of firefighting shot-callers toured three major South Coast wildfire sites — Gap, Painted Cave, and Tea—to revisit access points, lines of attack, and lessons learned. After that, an incident management team was selected from firefighting agencies countywide and trained to be ready at the drop of a hat.

On the day before the fire, fire departments raised firedanger alerts for the coming sundowners as chiefs powwowed via conference call to discuss getting more men at the ready.

County Fire, for example, up-staffed with two extra brush trucks, a water tender, a 20-man hand crew, and a battalion chief, according to Captain David Zaniboni.

by K e i t h h a m m fficials have no word yet as to the cause of last week’s Gibraltar Fire, but it is clear that smoothly coordinated attacks from both air and ground crews snuffed the wind-driven wildfire before it grew to catastrophic proportions. Officially, the blaze burned roughly 21 acres of steep and rugged chaparral between Montecito Peak and Cold Springs Saddle on the mountainside above Montecito.

Emergency dispatch operators received the first 9-1-1 call at 5:16 a.m. on October 29 as 40-mph gusts whipped flames 30 feet skyward and the smell of smoke infiltrated neighborhoods below. Within three minutes, the first engines hit the road, and 40 minutes later—after the long, dark climb up Gibraltar Road and eastward on East Camino Cielo— crews pulled over just north of the blaze to cut access roads and call for air support. Four tankers and three helicopters were set in motion.

First responders in the air arrived around 7:40 a.m., a pair of water-toting helicopters belonging to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department just ahead of a twin-engine Commander piloted by Forest Aviation officer Mark Nunez, 44, an air attack supervisor with the Los Padres National Forest, the fire’s lead agency. An hour earlier, after assessing the conditions —sustained 25-30 mph winds out of the north-northwest, with gusts to 40—Nunez had called Southern California’s interagency emergency command center, based in Riverside, and ordered more air tankers. Make it an even dozen, he told dispatchers, and make it fast.

Federally contracted tankers normally aren’t online until 9 a.m. or so, Nunez explained, unless they get an emergency wake-up call. Planes would arrive from Santa Maria, Paso Robles, Porterville, Merced, San Bernardino, and Fresno.

To Nunez — whose first big Santa Barbara firefight was 1990’s Painted Cave, which left 5,000 acres, 400 buildings, and one fatality in its wake — the Gibraltar Fire had the potential to become the front country’s next Tea or Jesusita fire, back-to-back blazes that occupy recent memory with terrifying clarity.“Our plan was to hit it as soon as possible with everything we had,” Nunez said.

As helicopters buzzed back and forth between the blaze and two refill zones—a few scooped from San Roque’s Lauro Reservoir while the rest filled up from tenders parked on Westmont College’s Lovik Field—the first three tankers (two from Santa Maria and one from Paso) dropped retardant just after 8 a.m. Nunez choreographed the rapidly growing aerial dance from 2,500 feet above the mountaintops.

As unified commanders showed up at daybreak on Thursday, their briefing room was plugged in, well lit, and ready for action, with freshbrewed pots of coffee close at hand.

It’s too soon to put a precise figure on the cost of knocking down and cleaning up the Gibraltar Fire, according to Andrew Madsen, a Forest Service spokesperson.

“Typically, once the fire is contained, we sit down with our cooperators and discuss cost-sharing to determine who pays for what,” Madsen said.“Because this fire was entirely on National Forest land, we’ll pay the lion’s share. [At this point,] it’s safe to say the fire cost more than $1.5 million.” He added that the trace of rain at the burn site on Monday did not hamn per the investigation.

The wheels of justice have churned exceedingly slowly for Linda Louise Archer, the homeless woman found beaten to death in a culvert by the Castillo Street off-ramp back in 1997. It took Santa Barbara investigators 18 years to arrest Manuel Salmeron Manzanares (pictured) earlier this summer for Archer’s murder. And it took another three hours of waiting around in Judge Clifford Anderson’s otherwise unused courtroom on October 30 for Manzanares to plead guilty to seconddegree murder, a process that took no longer than 10 minutes. Garbed in County Jail blue with slippers, orange socks, and a locked chain cinched around his waist, Manzanares answered “Yes,” with the aid of an interpreter, to a series of questions from county prosecutor Arnie Tolks.

Manzanares, 37, will spend at least 16 years in state prison before becoming eligible for parole. The procedure was utterly devoid of any trace of courtroom melodrama. None of Archer’s relatives were on hand, nor was the city detective Andy Hill, who got Manzanares to confess to the crime by confronting him with a last-minute DNA match.

At the time of the killing, Manzanares was a quasi-homeless youth barely north of age 18. Born in Mexico, he immigrated to the United States as a child with his family and grew up in Santa Barbara. According to court records, he would amass an extensive record of petty street crimes associated with his drug addiction.

There was little evidence of the violence used to kill Archer, then a 43-year-old mentally ill street person with two kids. Even in his confession, Manzanares was skimpy on details. He and Archer had agreed to have sex, but Archer reportedly wanted a beer first. Manzanares objected. That seemingly minor disagreement escalated into a violent fight. Evidence suggests that Archer fled her homeless camp and that Manzanares caught her and beat her to death with a tree stump.

In 2012, city police detectives sent dried skin taken from underneath Archer’s fingernails to a national DNA lab to see if it matched anyone behind bars. It belonged to Manzanares, who was being held in the Lompoc federal prison for having re-entered the U.S. illegally. For whatever reason, Manzanares came clean to Hill and another detective. The only question was whether he’d be convicted of second-degree murder — no evidence indicated the premeditation required of first-degree murder — or manslaughter. He won’t be sentenced for the killing — Nick Welsh until December 1.

tor moves on,” said Perez. “That’s a concern.”

Perez estimated that 65-75 percent of the vets his office serves suffer from PTSD. More and more, Central Coast communities are picking up the slack, as well, Perez said. “Santa Barbara has been amazing the last two years,” and San Luis Obispo, which has its own Vet Center, is “becoming a model for veteran care.” Perez said that running the VA gauntlet can be a daunting task but the resources are out there. “I personally feel loved and supported by the VA,” he said. “I would encourage all veterans to not give up.

Even if you get a few ‘Nos,’ keep looking.”

Dr. Larry Decker agreed the Central Coast safety net is a strong one.“I think there are quite a few options here,” he said, pointing to the new Veterans Choice Program that allows patients to see a private practitioner if VA wait times are too long, no specialists are available, or if the closest clinic is located especially far from a vet’s home.

Hazel Blankenship with the PierreClaeyssens Foundation said the same thing.

“It’s better than it was. There’s a lot more available compared to just a few years ago.”

The New Beginnings Counseling Center, Vista Del Mar, Jewish Family Services, Oxnard Family Circle, Catholic Charities, Casa Esperanza, UCSB’s Veterans Resource Team, and the Veterans Treatment Court have all been routinely praised for their good work.

Decker cofounded the Ventura Vet center (which was originally located in Santa Barbara until it moved south to be closer to a bigger vet population), and he now contracts with it through his Garden Street practice. He specializes in PTSD and wrote a book on the condition. “If you’re in combat and trying to kill people, and people are trying to kill you, that changes who you are,” he said. “Combat soldiers really know something that we civilians don’t know. And for the most part, civilians don’t care. Vets recognize that easily.”

That inability to relate, which Stout described in detail upon his return home, isolates, saddens, and angers many veterans, Decker said. “People go to movies and read books, and they think they know what these guys go through,” he went on. “That’s total crap.” Studying PTSD, as he put it, is a moral opportunity for the rest of the U.S. population to become more sensitive to what men and women endure on the battlefield and what they deal with stateside. Decker and

others remembered the case of Eddie Van Tassel, an Iraq war veteran with PTSD who waved an American flag and brandished an unloaded pistol on the La Cumbre overpass in 2008 to bring attention to veterans’ issues.

The Wounded Warrior Project publicized a survey this week of 23,000 injured soldiers who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. More than three quarters of them — 76.2 percent —said they are struggling with PTSD, and 35 percent said they’ve experienced difficulty getting mental-health care. Defense Department estimates put the number of veterans with obvious physical injuries from the wars at around 52,000 but more than 10 times that figure as suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

New government research shows that between 2000 and 2010, 43,208 veterans committed suicide. Among men 18-29 years old, the annual number of suicides per 100,000 people was 83.3 for veterans and 17.6 for nonveterans. A total of 6,840 U.S. service members have been killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Stout said sharing his inner demons has helped soften the effects of PTSD. He’s stopped drinking, as well, and he recently turned a corner where the future doesn’t seem so dim. “I’m really glad I feel that way,” he said with obvious relief. His advice for other veterans is to let it out.“Talk to another vet,” he said.“Try to connect. Talk about anything and everything so you can start putting words to your thoughts.”

So he can help fellow soldiers help themselves should they need support, Stout wants to become a social worker. “The system is structured well, but it often doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to,” said Stout, who even after volunteering at a veteran resource center has had a hard time navigating his healthcare options. His roommate, also a veteran, just received a $600 bill from Cottage Hospital for services he was incorrectly told were covered by his VA benefits.

Stout understands changes at the VA need to happen on a national level for there to be any big impacts here in Santa Barbara. In the meantime, he declared, “They need to put a lot more effort into the front end and have as many people as they need to see vets adequately.” It can be hard for marines like him to ask for a hand, so when they do, it should be there, Stout said. “We’re not broken, but we are different.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs maintains a hotline for veterans in crisis that operates 24 hours a day. Call 1 (800) 273-8255, go to veteranscrisisline.net/chat, or send a text to 838255.

Like a Dog on Fire

THANK YOU, WILLY: Every time I see

smoke on the horizon, I freak. I’m squirrelly that way. With that in mind, I was beyond relieved that firefighters managed to wrestle last week’s Gibraltar Fire into submission so quickly. A big and belated thanks goes out to former county supervisor Willy Chamberlin, who died of cancer a few months ago. More than anybody else, Chamberlin got our air tanker base reestablished in Santa Maria after a few years’ hiatus. That base proved absolutely critical for loading and reloading the 10 planes deployed and armed with chemical fire retardant. Without Santa Maria, the tankers would have had to fly in from much farther away. That translates to fewer drops and a less concentrated attack. That matters.

Chamberlin was the proverbial tall drink of water who favored cowboy hats, blue jeans, and platter-sized belt buckles. He was elected county supervisor in 1992 as the voice of ranchers and farmers railing against the environmentalist majority. He got on our bad side early, boasting he’d been endorsed by every newspaper on the South Coast. We hadn’t, and when we pointed that out, he explained he meant “reputable” papers. Relations went south from there. If we ever managed to get under Chamberlin’s skin—and we tried—he made a point to never let it show.

Ultimately, Chamberlin managed to lose the same election he won—after a grueling recount fight took place in several court-

rooms. He left office, and we lost track. In 2011, he called out of the blue as if we were the best of friends. He was on a mission, and he needed a journalistic stooge.

At the time, Santa Barbara had barely escaped three massive back-to-back wildfires in 18 months. Compounding the problem, Santa Barbara found itself without an air tanker station, which had existed from 19582007 at the Santa Barbara airport. But it was too small, so it was shifted up to Santa Maria, which boasts one of the biggest airports in California. Two years later—in 2009—bean counters with the cash-strapped U.S. Forest Service determined they could save $200,000 a year if they shut down Santa Maria. Instead, we were notified, we could rely on “call-whenneeded service” that would be provided out of bases in Lancaster or Paso Robles.

Not cool.

Local fire chiefs were kept out of the loop.

By the time they knew what hit them, they were on their backs. Initially, Forest Service officials insisted they could have tankers in the air within 30 minutes. That got pushed back to four hours. But with the onslaught of the Jesusita Fire in 2009, we found out it was really between 36-48 hours. Early on during Jesusita, it turns out, three air tankers had been deployed out of Santa Maria. But Forest Service administrators grounded them.

It wasn’t fire season yet, and no contract had been signed between the Forest Service and the private contractors loading retardant onto

the planes. Thirty-six hours later, sundowners kicked in. What seemed like a punk-ass

fire raged out of control. Eighty homes went up in smoke. By the time air tankers were activated, it was already too late.

In response, Congressmember Lois Capps worked to get the tanker base reestablished but met with limited results. Chamberlin, a Republican, went to work on the other side of the aisle. Chamberlin and the fire chiefs got resolutions of support from every city council on the South Coast. He got former Ventura County congressmember Elton Gallegly to set up a meeting with top brass from the Forest Service. He worked his connections for all they were worth.

Behind the scenes, Forest Service officials subtly suggested Chamberlin might be a tool for fire privateers who made money by selling retardant. They pointed out that the Zaca Fire of 2007—the second-biggest in the state — cost $120 million to put out though not one structure was ever threatened. Even so, the Forest Service picked up the tab for 1,700 flights and 2.5 million gallons of retardant.

On the flip side, it turned out one of the Forest Service administrators most responsible for shutting down the Santa Maria base had recently retired and gone into business with a private firefighting-equipment contractor. He contacted the Santa Barbara Fire Department about leasing a massive super-scooper air tanker capable of dropping 28,000 gallons an hour. Given that the Santa

independent.com

Maria tanker base was shut down, he noted in his sales pitch, Santa Barbara might need one. Local firefighters went ballistic. Media stooges got called.

In response to the political pressure Chamberlin helped generate, the Forest Service announced it would reopen a tanker base in Santa Maria. In exchange, the locals agreed to pony up some of the resources needed to keep the base open. From what I’m hearing, that’s not happening. Given the escalating costs associated with front-country firefighting, that’s not cool, either. This summer, the Forest Service issued an official fatwa, noting that 52 percent of its budget is now spent fighting forest fires. In 1995, it was only 16 percent.

In 2015 alone, California has experienced 5,225 fires, consuming more than 217,000 acres, and chasing 23,000 people from their homes. Five years ago, there were 2,400 fires and the acreage consumed one-quarter as much. Nationally, fire season is now 78 days longer than it was in 1970. In places like California, it’s somewhere between 300-365 days a year. In just the last year, the cost of fire suppression increased by $115 million. Since 1998, the number of firefighters hired by the Forest Service jumped from 5,700 to 12,000.

Because of this, the Forest Service can’t do a lot of other things it’s required to do. Among the programs shortchanged are a host of fireprevention initiatives designed to limit the intensity of fires once they start.

The punch line? The Santa Maria tanker base was, and is, invaluable. Thanks a bunch, — Nick Welsh Willy.

Michael Stephen Denton 08/15/52-09/23/15

Rich Gagnon was born on September 10, 1925, in Woodland, Maine. He graduated from St. Croix High School at age 15.

After one year at the University of Southern Maine, he enlisted in the navy. Later he enrolled at the University of Maine, graduating with a B.A. in education. He started teaching biology in Casa Grande, AZ. He then attained his master’s degree in counseling from the University of Arizona.

While in Casa Grande, he met and married a most wonderful lady — Betty Jane Dean. In 1954 the Gagnons moved to Corona, CA, where he taught biology. In 1958 they moved to Ventura, CA, where he taught physiology and oceanography at Ventura High School and algebra at Ventura College. He then attended Oregon State University, earning his second M.A., this one in biology.

After twenty years of teaching in Ventura, Rich decided to change his life. He separated from Betty, although they maintained a loving relationship until Betty’s death in 2009. Rich had many talents, and he used them to enter each new job with a spirit of enthusiasm and complete immersion. He waited on tables at the Biltmore Resort, Alisal Guest Ranch, Marianne’s, and others. He then worked for a year as a psychiatric assistant at Cottage Hospital. Consequently, he became the activities director at Patterson Gardens (now Buena Vista) where he was awarded a certificate from the Area Agency for the Aged for making improvements in the activities department.

Finally, he became a caregiver for a gentleman with mental-health problems.

In 2003 Rich met Juan Cruzado. They have had a close relationship ever since and have done considerable traveling together in the U.S. and Europe. In addition to Juan, Rich is survived by his four children: Rick, Dennis, Michele, and Timothy. He also leaves seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Special thanks to the nurses at Hospice and Visiting Nurses of Santa Barbara. Memorial services will be held at Unity Church, 227 E. Arrellaga in Santa Barbara at 2:00 p.m., November 7. Memorial 16

Michael Denton transitioned to a softer place on Wednesday September 23, 2015. His last moments were on the beach, where he had found peace and solace from childhood to his final days on earth. He always believed that when it was your time, it would be revealed to you. And so it was, surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the Pacific Ocean, that he left us.

Michael was born and raised in Santa Barbara. He spent his formative years on the Mesa, living across the street from Mesa Lane.

It was a simple time of building forts, riding bikes, backyard sleepovers, and early-morning dawn patrols in search of waves.

In 1962, his family moved to the San Roque area where he made new friends who would remain a part of him the for rest of his life. Michael’s sense of humor and sense of fun led him into theater arts in high school, and while he was in the air force managing weather devices in southern California, he established an off-base company to put on plays for the local community.

After his honorable discharge from the air force, he spent an entire year traveling from Santa Barbara to South America with Tulum Dothee, with whom he was married from 1983-1988.

Michael was a graduate of both San Marcos High School and Santa Barbara City College. He was part of the Marine Technology Program, which provided him with the skills for challenging worldwide work, allowing him to be in and around the ocean that he was so connected to. His band of “fraternity brothers” still continues on from that time.

After leaving the diving community, Michael was employed by Robert Mondavi as their master landscaper, caretaker and maintenance supervisor for all the Mondovi Corporation holdings in Napa Valley, as well as for the family’s private estates. When he moved back to Santa Barbara in

2006, he worked both in Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez as an independent contractor. He also donated his time to the Trinity Garden rebuilding a greenhouse, maintaining the mechanical equipment and putting his ability to grow anything to good use. The garden was a perfect fit for his knowledge and creative spirit.

Michael is survived by his mother, Margaret “Peggy” Denton; his sister, Sandra Denton and two nephews, Philip Scheid IV and Owen Scheid.

To his family he was a loving son, brother and uncle. Anyone who knew Michael remembers him as a big man with a kind and sensitive heart, a wicked sense of humor, a musician, a rescuer of dogs and a planner of adventures.

He was always ready to roll at a moment’s notice. His was a heart that would give his last dollar to a stranger in need. He was a multi-talented master gardener and tradesman, a prankster with the best of them who always left the room with a good-natured wink and a lasting and endearing friendship to all he met. He will be missed tremendously by all whose lives he touched. His spirit will live in our hearts and souls forever.

A memorial service will take place in the spring of 2016, leaving from the Santa Barbara Harbor, where family and friends will gather to release his ashes, as he requested, into the sea, which he loved so much.

and joined the L.A. Thunderbirds roller derby team, known to TV fans as “Sweet Sue.” Following that she took advantage of her City College journalism training to work in the News-Press library, eventually becoming head librarian. While traveling with Brantingham, she photographed many foreign countries during their travel-writing trips abroad. Her photographs often accompanied Barney’s News-Press travel stories and columns in The Independent. She became an avid cook, inspired by TV food shows and a vast library of cookbooks she collected. Her neighbors and family looked forward to tasting the complicated dishes she delighted in sharing. She spent much of her time working on their home in San Roque and could often be found on her front porch reading and listening to KUSC classical music station. Each weekend she would set out with friends to visit thrift shops, delighting in returning home with a trunkful of treasures, fun at the cost of about $10. She also delighted in three cats that adopted the house. She is survived by her husband and two brothers: Paul, of Ojai, and Peter, of Santa Barbara. She was preceded in death by her parents, Peter and Vivian, and her brother David. She asked that donations be made to Planned Parenthood.

Lillian Winnikoff was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and passed away peacefully, surrounded by family in Santa Barbara, California, on the morning of October 14, 2015, at the age of 83. Lillian was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Albert, son, Joel, and sisters, Deanna and Rita. Lillian is survived by her son, Marc; daughter-in-law, Meryl; and grandchildren, Jacob and Sophia. Lillian, in addition to being the consummate wife and mother, opened a residential real estate firm in Malibu with her husband, Albert. From their kitchen table they conducted an admirable volume of business selling and leasing homes, condominiums and land. Her work ethic was unparalleled, doing whatever it took to get a job done.

However, her real passion was family, and she relished the time

when three generations of her family were under one roof celebrating birthdays, holidays or just being together. Lillian’s care was complex and difficult at times. We would like to thank Dr. Gerald Svedlow, Dr. James Moghtader and Dr. Natasha Marsten for their heroic efforts and compassionate care. We would also like to thank the entire staff at the Samarkand and Serenity House for making her comfortable. The family also thanks Cantor Mark Childs, who provided Lillian and her family with thoughtful and compassionate spiritual guidance.

II. During the war, Vince worked in the military aircraft industry at Bendix Aviation as a draftsman. After the war, he resumed his career as a building contractor. He was an artistic master of custom modern homes, which were ahead of their time in their simplicity, beauty and utility.

A daughter Mary Lynn was born in 1938. A son Joseph France was born in 1948. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Hermosa Beach. Attacks of asthma and hay fever from the pollens of the valley trees forced the move. There he continued to build in Hermosa, Manhattan, and Redondo beaches and Palos Verdes. Many of the people he built homes for remained lifelong friends.

He loved being with his family. He enjoyed coming to Mary Lynn’s and her husband Mike’s (Mallen), where he enjoyed Mike’s roses and the quail which roamed the yard. He also looked forward to lunches at his favorite Santa Barbara restaurants with Mary Lynn. He loved to travel to Joe’s and his wife Anne-Marie’s house in Tucson, Arizona, where he was pampered with Anne-Marie’s cooking. He and Joe both shared a love of sports and cars.

Grandchildren include: Michele (Todd Pappas) Mallen, Kevin (Yuko Okumura) Mallen, Pamela (Bill) Poehler, David (Patti) Mallen, Thomas Pickett, Cambria Pickett (AJ McLean), and Sara (Katie Horlander) Pickett). Great-grandchildren Malin Pappas, Alexia Pappas, Lily Poehler, Kiara Mallen and Simone McLean were very dear to him.

He was looking forward to the arrival of Simone’s new brother or sister in the spring.

Vincent and Helen both enjoyed travel around the U.S. and Canada and made many memorable trips to Spain and Portugal. Vince loved to BBQ steaks, and both loved to entertain. He was known for his love of great food and drink.

After Helen’s death, Vince moved to Santa Barbara from Hermosa Beach to be closer to Mary Lynn and Joe and their families. In his nineties, he moved to Vista del Monte retirement home. He received excellent care at Vista del Monte and was one of their favorite residents.

They, his family and friends who knew him, will miss this very gentle man.

As he wished, there will be a private family party in his honor in late November.

Donations in his memory can be made to the University of Arizona Cancer Center, Development Office, P.O.Box 245013, Tucson, AZ 85724 or The Fact Foundation, which supports members of the Vista del Monte community, at kchurch@front porch.net.

Dan Abbott Schwab

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.

About Those Firefighters

O

n the mid-Riviera, we woke up last Thursday to helicopters flying overhead and fire truck sirens.

After checking InciWeb, The Indy’s updates, and Ray Ford’s ever-reliable reporting, we realized our city could be facing another hellacious wildfire. Our family members lost their house in the Tea Fire, and their neighborhood was warned to evacuate on Thursday.

By Sunday, it looked like firefighters had prevented the worst-case scenario. We are so full of gratitude for every firefighter we saw drive by, tired, with the battle against smoke and fire in their faces. They worked extremely hard to save our city.

My family wants to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to all the firefighters and pilots who fought this fire. For your bravery, you deserve a ticker-tape parade on State Street; you should also be supported by our community with affordable Santa Barbara housing, a pay increase, and our deepest respect and gratitude!

What’s $50 Million Buy?

A

s last week’s “Grim and Grimmer” explained [independent.com/grimmer], the State Water Project (SWP) costs our county $50 million-plus a year and delivered only 5 percent last year. But if we had the desal plant that was voted on in 1991, and not state water, desal (total cost $34 million) would be running and would have been upgraded as new environmentally friendly technology came online. All of Santa Barbara would have a reliable supply of water at a fraction of the cost we are shelling out now.

We never needed both desal and state water. And the state water that isn’t there is costing us dearly. Wouldn’t it be sounder to get rid of the SWP contracts and just rely on desal? I can think of better ways to spend $50 million a year than on pipes that don’t supply water when we need it; when they do have water, we have no place to put it all. State water was a bad idea in 1991 and is still a bad idea today for the very same reasons laid out in 1991.

And then there are the Twin Tunnels; the huge expense they would add for no more water is insane.

But as long as we are locked into the SWP contracts, we will be responsible for our share of costs on whatever projects the state’s Water Resources department — Carolee Krieger, S.B. chooses to pursue.

Exhausting

I

n last week’s Gustavo the Gardenator column [independent.com/leafblowers], we learned that illegal gas leaf blowers are fast and cheap. No surprise there —from litterers to negligent pipeline operators, many scofflaws and polluters justify their actions as necessary to save time or money. But no matter how efficiently performed, blowing clouds of dust from one property to the next often seems ridiculous.

These machines are sufficiently noisy and noxious to have been banned in over 20 California cities. In one hour, they release more disease-causing hydrocarbons and particulate matter than hundreds of miles of driving.

With gas blowers, the savings accrue to the landscaper, with the costs borne by the ears and lungs of neighbors. The quickest and easiest step to lessen household environmental impact is to get rid of gas-powered tools, especially blowers.

I want to be put to sleep for my treatment. Can you do that?

We can certainly help with that! Many patients prefer to be sedated for their dental work and find it helpful to make their dental visits much more tolerable. While we can certainly prescribe anti-anxiety medication for you prior to your appointment, a more effective method is IV sedation.

This form of sedation allows us to treat you more efficiently, complete any amount of dental treatment at one time and administer less anesthetic than we would need to otherwise while you remain completely relaxed throughout the procedure. You will be back to your normal routine by the next day and will have eliminated the stress often associated with a dental appointment.

All-Age Fun

Text and photo by Caitlin Fitch “It’s always been on my bucket list to run a half-marathon,” said John Gavin (pictured). “I was out running barefoot one morning, and I figured if I’m gonna do this, I might as well do it as a fundraiser.’” So he’ll be running all 13.1 miles of this Saturday’s Veterans Day halfmarathon, from UCSB to Leadbetter Beach, completely barefoot to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Barbara, where he volunteers his time. “My wife calls me a caveman,” admitted Gavin, who’s been running, skateboarding, and doing most other things without shoes for years now. “I just like it; I really do.” With the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, as a main sponsor, Gavin is raising money quickly, but you can chip in yourself by visiting: tinyurl.com/barefootathon.

Story Pirates

Give Life to Kid Tales

F

or more than a decade, the Story Pirates have given theatrical life to tales written by children, teaching creative writing and performing for more than 100,000 kids in more than 250 schools since 2003. This week, they spent time doing workshops and running assembly performances at both Isla Vista Elementary and the Crane School, and will be presenting even more of those students’ sagas this Sunday at UCSB’s Campbell Hall. Here’s Producing Director Gabe Jewell on what to expect:

What’s the Story Pirates formula? Our mission is to celebrate the

words and ideas of kids, so a lot of the work we do involves teaching kids creative writing and then taking their writing and turning it into a big, ridiculous sketch-comedy musical to celebrate their work.

Do you have a set performance, or is it a blank slate each time? We have a large collection of stories that we call our great-

est hits, so we choose from those, and then we use a couple stories from kids in the community as new material. Every show also has an improvised portion, where we’re creating a story on the spot from suggestions that kids in the audience give.

And there’s lots of puppets and costumes and colorful stuff?

Yeah, it’s a pretty wild and silly costume setup.

What’s the appropriate age? All ages, honestly. We say 3-12, but we

also pride ourselves on 5-year-olds and 95-year-olds being able to sit next to each other and laugh at the same joke.

What’s the reaction of kids seeing their stories onstage?

They love it. We hear a lot of the time from kids, from teachers, and from parents that bringing their stories to life makes the kids more confident writers and learners and more excited about their education in general.

Why is it so powerful? Anytime that a writer can see his or her words performed by someone professionally talented is affecting, even for adults. So when kids get to see their ideas celebrated, it’s special for them.

Do you see the organization as providing some of the arts education that has been cut? It varies. We go into a variety of

schools, and a lot of them do not have any arts funding or programming. It’s a refreshing experience for the kids and also for the teachers.

We do think that arts are a really important part of a complete education.

Dream Foundation Prepares for

T

he Dream Foundation will honor its corporate partner Gentiva Hospice Foundation and acknowledge supporters of the newly launched Dreams for Veterans program at its 14th Annual Celebration of Dreams Gala on November 7. The Dream Foundation is the only national organization that grants wishes to adults facing life-threatening illnesses. Founded in 1994, the organization, which is headquartered in Santa Barbara, served its 20,000th dream in 2014.

“For families who have been financially devastated by medical expenses, a dream is the comfort of knowing the heating bill will be paid,” explains the foundation’s website. “For those with young children, it’s creating happy memories and having fun. For young adults, a dream can be meeting a personal hero. And for children facing the impending loss of a parent, a dream is receiving support and compassion.”

Two notable attendees at Saturday’s gala will be Sheri and Jimmy Malone, wife and son of dreamer James “Jim” Malone, who passed away on June 24 from adenocarcinoma, one day before fulfilling his dream of visiting Washington, D.C. Malone was a U.S. Navy veteran who served 1977-1981. He received his wish from the Dream Foundation through the newly launched Dreams for Veterans program, which serves terminally ill vets.

“This is such an important program,” said Sheri Malone. “Our veterans are an underserved part of our population, and it’s disheartening to me that I’m starting to hear stories again about how a lot of these veterans are coming home and they’re not feeling like they made a difference. They’re not feeling like it mattered, and their service matters so much to this country, and the Dreams for Veterans program and the Dream Foundation is such a good way to give back to these veterans.”

The gala’s honorees include Gentiva Hospice Foundation, which has helped serve more than 9,000 final dreams; CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc. and its president/CEO Andy Puzder; John Paul DeJoria, CEO/ cofounder of John Paul Mitchell Systems; and The Patrón Spirits Company. There will be performances

by American rock band OAR, country singer Natalie Noone, and classical singer Sara Stevens. Santa Barbara’s Andrew “The Bachelor” Firestone, and his wife, Ivana, will host a live auction.

There will also be a surprise cameo appearance, promised the foundation’s executive director, Kisa Heyer.

“I’m not allowed to say who will be doing it, but we are very excited about that, as well,” said Heyer, who also explained that the foundation will unveil a new logo and mission statement at the gala.

The gala will be held on Saturday, November 7, at Bacara Resort & Spa. See dreamfoundation.org.

Child Yogis Practice Blissful Living

K

idding Around Yoga recently spread its happy tot karma at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center, introducing children and parents to their transformational children’s yoga training. “Kids have said to me, ‘I found myself; I remember who I am,’ ” explained Haris Lender, founder of Kidding Around Yoga and 16-year veteran of her craft.

Lender’s instruction is geared toward helping children self-sooth with breathing instruction, relaxation techniques, stretching and strengthening, and imagination. She feels that all children should be practicing yoga daily. “Kids take on the stress of their parents,” she said. “They need this more than we understand.”

Here are her best tips to help little yogis connect to their inner selves.

Adults and kids can learn yoga together.

Meet children on their level: “They don’t always

know how to follow the rules,” said Lender, who allows kids to make a lot of noise, jump around, and speak out of turn.

Use mindful techniques: It’s important to give kids

some time to “just be” when they are free from competition, academic pressures, and busy schedules. Lender explained, “I love it because parents show me videos of how they snuck up on their kids sitting in their bedrooms meditating.”

Talk to kids during a pose: If it is a boat pose, for example, she suggested asking children what kind of a boat they are and then allowing them to play out being a canoe, kayak, sail boat, or pedal boat. Meanwhile, they will not

notice that they have been holding a pose for 45 seconds and have been strengthening their core muscles.

Make it playful: It’s taken Lender years to perfect her series of original kids’ yoga songs, which teach kids about acupressure points, peaceful living, and practicing on their own. She also includes games and activities that focus on relaxation, balance, and movement.

Follow traditional yoga routines: Offer children

everything that would be in an authentic yoga class. “If you forget your meditation, or your pranayama, they are not going to float out the door,” she says. “And if kids aren’t floating out the door, then we haven’t done our job.”

Those elegant-looking bottom-feeders sure love the ebb and flow of the tide. They shimmy beneath soft muddy sand, fluctuating between the salt marsh and the ocean, but so do unsuspecting beach walkers who unknowingly tread into their gritty aquatic territory.

A strike by a ray can bring a grown man to his knees, and transporting injured folks from the mouth of the marsh to the lifeguard tower for the scalding yet effective hot-water treatment usually means a half-mile hobble for a lifeguard with an Zealand–born race car designer Ron Butler, who’s spent countless hours working on the Ford Shelby Cobra.

No One Cares About

Your Hymen

T

radition deems that a bride should give a few gifts on

her wedding day. She might give jewelry to her bridesmaids and chocolates to her guests. She might bestow a monogrammed hankie on her mother, and will likely present her groom with a little sumpn special back at the hotel ifyouknowwhatimsayin.

But here’s a nuptial-day trinket you don’t often see a bride offer up in 2015: a note from her gynecologist to her father avowing that her hymen is thoroughly, virtuously intact. A Maryland bride did just that recently, posing with her dad, a big ole virginal grin, and a physiciansigned “certificate of purity.”

Let’s review: Her wedding. Her gyno. Her father. Her hymen. The situation is wrong on so many levels. Here are just four of them.

1) What the hymen is: a stretchy membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening. What the hymen is not: remotely relevant to a woman’s value.

In centuries past, when daughters were brokered out to husbands like so much cattle, a virgin bride was expected to stain the marital bed sheets with blood from the inaugural straining of her hymen. (Think of it like the tamper-proof seal on a bottle of Tylenol; once it’s prodded out of the

by Starshine way, there’s no putting it back.) These sheets are a plot point in Shakespeare’s Othello, and even Yentl. But the notion email: starshine@roshell.com dates back to the Bible, which states that if the marital sheets are clean, the bride must be returned to her father’s house and stoned to death by the men of her village. Seems fair.

But modern-day Maryland is neither that time nor that place. And behaving as though it is—as though a woman is a less valuable partner for having unapologetically, even frequently explored her sexuality before promising herself to one person for the rest of her life—is an insult to all women. As Othello’s poor Desdemona says, “By heaven, you do me wrong.”

2) A woman’s daddy and her vagina should have less than nothing to do with one another. They shouldn’t even have both been mentioned together in the previous sentence, and I apologize for that.

The notion that a woman’s sexuality is any of her father’s business is fostered by rituals like “purity balls,” prom-like events held throughout the U.S. at which young Christian girls formally pledge to their fathers to abstain from intercourse until marriage. Though the phrase “purity balls” makes me giggle and I pledge to snicker about it with my own dad the next time I see him, it’s messed up to put a prepubescent girl on her father’s arm dressed up like a woman — so that he can tell her how much he dreads her becoming one.

3) Where was the groom’s certificate of purity? How would he vouch for his chastity — if anyone even cared about it? How would his mommy figure into the equation? Discuss.

4) The integrity of a hymen is no measure of sexual experience. It can be stretched and bleed from riding a bicycle or even inserting a tampon. Some girls don’t have much of a hymen to start with. So any doctor who’d associate this trifling anatomical flap with “purity” isn’t worth his speculum.

Roshell

Look, if you want to “save yourself ” for marriage, go for it. Personally, I think it’s unwise: How will you know if you’re hetero? What if you and your spouse have wildly different sexual temperaments?

But if you truly believe that public vows will make your first hayroll more pleasurable — and believe it enough to remain chaste for the years (and dates) leading up to it — then they probably will make it so. Sexual pleasure generates as much from the mind as anywhere else, and if your Big Dirty Fantasy is to be deflowered by your spouse, then sure, that’s a schtupp worth waiting for.

But cut the cake already, and get on with it.

living | Sports GENERATIONS OF GRIDIRON: Tim Jimenez Jr. (right) is carrying on the Carp High football traditions of his family, including his uncle Tony Jimenez Jr., who played for Coach Lou Panizzon (center) in the 1970s.

11/7: Running: Santa Barbara Veterans Day Half Marathon Dwindling participation led organizers to cancel the Santa Barbara International Marathon after a six-year run, but all energies are focused on its offspring, the 13.1-mile half marathon. There is a new starting line on the UCSB campus. A two-mile straightaway on Highway 217 will tempt runners to go out fast; they may regret it when they encounter the climb from Las Positas Road up Cliff Drive in the 10th mile. The last two miles will go downhill to “the world’s most beautiful finish line” at Leadbetter Beach. The cutoff time is four hours (18:18 per mile). The fastest time on the old course was 1:06:24 by Julian de Rubira in 2010. Alvina Begay’s 1:15:00 in 2012 is the women’s record. 7am start. University Plaza, UCSB. Visit sbmarathon.com.

Jimenez Football legacy Family of Stars Keeps Scoring as School Celebrates 40th Anniversary of First Championship Season

T

im Jimenez Jr. could have stayed in Vegas, a

city teeming with very big and very fast young men, and perhaps he’d be playing football with them on a powerful high school team. But that would have defied more than 60 years of tradition in Carpinteria, the hometown of his grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.

So after Tim completed the 7th grade, his family moved to Carpinteria. His dad, Tim Sr., kept his job at a club in Las Vegas, commuting every Tuesday and returning home Friday. Why go to all that trouble? “Tim had to live up to the Jimenez legend,” his father said. “He got the triple whammy: my father, myself, and especially my brother.”

The Jimenez boys have been good-luck charms for Carpinteria High football. Tony Jimenez Sr. was the first, an All-CIF running back as a senior in 1953, when the Warriors went undefeated in the regular season but lost to Hawthorne, a vastly larger school, in the play-offs. His two sons, Tony and Tim, helped take the Warriors several steps further.

Tony Jimenez Jr. was a Carpinteria linebacker and running back in 1975, a season that will be remembered this week and forever, because, as they say, “Warrior Spirit never dies!” Those Warriors went all the way to the school’s first CIF football championship. The community will gather for a 40th anniversary celebration on Saturday, November 7.

Tim Jimenez Sr., Tony’s much younger brother, came along at the tail end of Carpinteria’s run of three consecutive CIF titles (1987-88-89). A linebacker and running back like Tony, he was a key player on the team that brought the school its fifth CIF trophy in 1991.

Tim Jimenez Jr. grew up hearing about those gridiron heroics. Other family members, like his father’s cousin Alex Jimenez, who scored four touchdowns in a game, had their moments under the lights at Carpinteria Memorial Field, which until 1999 was located at the Middle School in the heart of the town. Tim saw his own cousin, Tony’s son J.P., play for the Warriors in 2006.

Another reason young Tim’s parents wanted him to experience his high school years in Carpinteria is the character of

the town. “You walk down the street, and you know everybody,” his father said. Instead of Facebook images, residents see real faces.

“In Las Vegas, there are more places to go and things to do,” young Tim said. He could have vetoed the move, but he saw Carpinteria’s positives: the beach, the sense of community, and a quaint Foster’s Freeze.

Tim, a six-foot, 170-pound senior, was appointed a captain of this year’s Warriors, as his father had been 24 years ago. He is a safety and linebacker, a hybrid defensive position that’s called “Warrior.” He also returns kicks. During the October 16 game against Cantwell-Sacred Heart, he scored a touchdown on an 82-yard punt return.

That was the day that all roads leading to the South Coast were jammed with traffic because of the closure of mudswamped Interstate 5. Tim’s father was stuck somewhere on Highway 150 while the Warriors were romping to a 54-0 victory. “That’s the only game I’ve missed since my son was 6 years old,” he said.

The Warriors went through a tough nonleague schedule, and despite a 3-6 record, they should reach the CIF play-offs if they take care of Fillmore at home Friday night, November 6. But the play-offs are not promising. The Tri-Valley League, comprising four small schools, has been thrown into a postseason grouping of gridiron giants. Not even Bishop Diego, the TVL leader with a 9-0 record, is expected to go far against such teams as Camarillo, Lompoc, and Arroyo Grande.

Ben Hallock is in his second tour of duty as Carpinteria’s head coach. Both of the Tim Jimenezes have played for him.

“I couldn’t ask for a more supportive community,” Hallock said. “Even when things aren’t going well, people tell me, ‘Keep after it. Hang in there.’”

Things went very well in 1975, the debut season of alumnus Lou Panizzon as Carpinteria’s coach. After going 7-1 in the regular season, the Warriors took down Santa Ynez, 25-6; Valley Christian, 10-6; and in the semifinals, they stopped Paso Robles for the first time in 27 years, 6-0. In the title game, they defeated L.A. Lutheran, 9-6, on Walter Requejo’s 11th field goal of the year.

Panizzon, who retired as coach after the 1989 championship, will preside over Saturday’s 40th anniversary celebration at the Veterans Memorial Building. Last week he dropped by the campus field, where Tony Jimenez was watching his nephew practice. “Mr. Panizzon!” he said reverently.

“It took me a while to get across town,” Panizzon said.

“There used to be just two stop signs.” He reminisced with Jimenez, who was 56 and 175 pounds back in the day and still appears to be about the same. “He was one of those little guys who can hit, like a little baseball player who hits home runs,” Panizzon said. “He had a nose for the ball. He forced a fumble against Paso Robles.”

Carpinteria’s first CIF champions were very much a team, with 11 All-TVL and six All-CIF players. They included Jay Canton, who rushed for over 1,000 yards; Requejo, who made a 50-yard field goal; Doug Pauley, a receiver who went on to play for Woody Hayes at Ohio State; and quarterback Keith Bell, the league MVP. Tony Jimenez, a junior in 1975, returned the next year and made All-CIF, thus completing the first father-son combination at Carpinteria to attain that honor. They were later joined by Henry and Aaron Gonzales. Quarterback Steve Perez, who played a part in the 1975 title, also made All-CIF. But the 1976 team was knocked out of the play-offs by an old nemesis. “Paso Robles ended my career,” Jimenez said.

“Damn those guys.”

There are plenty of sweet football memories in Carpinteria, but a few lemons have dropped along the way, even on n the Jimenezes.

Ramenfest

A

merican chefs are fascinated by the magical art of ramen, the Japanese soup that drops alkaline, hand-cut noodles into a savory broth usually made by boiling beef or pork bones, dried kelp (kombu), and fermented fish flakes (katsuobushi) together for 18 hours or so.

“It’s a twist on comfort food,” explained Derek Simcik, chef of Outpost at Goleta’s Goodland Hotel and an aficionado who was introduced to ramen while attending high school in Japan.“People just relate to it, from the ramen you ate as a kid to having legit ramen. It’s Asian-style chicken soup in a way.”

Last November, upon returning from a ramen-rich New York City trip—“It’s always my go-to when I’ve been drinking,” he divulged, “just a little something late at night to put in the stomach”—Simcik looked at a bunch of extra ingredients in the Outpost kitchen and decided to make ramen for that Sunday night. “It was such a huge hit that we just ran with it,” said Simcik.“It just became our Sunday thing.” Since, he’s done all range of traditional ramen, but also explored Texas-barbecue ramen (with smoked ham hock, brisket, corn relish, and braised greens), seafood and

vegetarian bases, and even “mostly dry ramen,” with more of a sauce than soup as the liquid. This past Sunday, for instance, Simcik went completely vegan, using a paragraphlong list of vegetables, from mushrooms and seaweed to eggplant and bok choy, to concoct a stunningly rich broth that easily pleased this meat lover.

Restaurants across Santa Barbara are also playing with the format, so Simcik decided to gather the ramen-istas under one roof for a friendly competition called Ramenfest on Saturday, November 14, noon -4 p.m. Participants include Outpost, Sama Sama Kitchen, The Black Sheep, Hungry Cat, Julienne, Barbareño, Finch & Fork, and Wildwood Kitchen, and the winning chef, as voted by the public, will be deemed “Ramen King of Santa Barbara.”

“I’ve been with Kimpton eight years, and I am always participating in everyone else’s charity events, so I wanted to do my own,” said Simcik, explaining that the winning chef will donate proceeds to the charity of his or her choice. “This was the perfect combo of bringing everyone together and having a really fun day.”

ive years ago, when Stewart McLennan and Douglas Minnick started a festival focused on small winemakers, no one could pronounce “garagiste,” the French word used to describe hobbyists who made wine in their garages. Today, the Garagiste Fest, which happens this weekend in Paso Robles, is not only pronounceable; it is one of the most anticipated events on the Central Coast wine calendar, even boasting offshoot events in Los Angeles and the Santa Ynez Valley.

Here’s a brief look at just five of more than 70 producers participating, all of which make an intimate 1,500 cases of wine a year or less, and many of which don’t have tasting rooms of their own.

Tech-topia Inside Santa Barbara’s Quietly Booming Tech Sector

I

grew up in the Silicon Valley, attending high school in the early 1990s just down the road from places such as Santa Clara, Cupertino, and Palo Alto, where the world’s digital revolution was ablaze. Both of my parents worked for tech companies, most notably my mom, who went from being one of Intel’s first receptionists to a respected executive during her 40 years there.

Granted, I was just 18 when I left San Jose for college in Santa Barbara, but I had a pretty good idea of what a booming tech scene felt like.

So when I graduated from UCSB 16 years ago, started reporting for this newspaper, and sporadically heard that Santa Barbara was on the verge of its own tech boom — that the arrival of “Silicon Beach 2.0” was imminent, a notion that hit headlines every few years — I’d mostly just scratch my head. Sure, there were a few companies here and there, but there was no noticeable scene that affected the overall community, no “ecosystem,” as techies are prone to say.

Then the rumors started again a couple of years ago, but this time, there were glimmers of truth. Sonos had Super Bowl commercials, people I knew worked at Yardi and Citrix, I’d been to events at QAD, and Lynda.com started sponsoring the film fest. Then I found myself writing about start-up weekends and hackathons, interviewing executives from companies such as AppFolio, and walking by places such as Invoca, where big open windows showed off colorful, buzzing offices full of young-ish employees — you know, what you think the inside of Google or Facebook headquarters looks like. As IPO became a more familiar abbreviation, I also noticed residual effects: more people in their twenties, thirties, and forties were living in town, supporting good restaurants and wineries, and getting involved with music and the arts — collectively contributing to a more interesting and eclectic Santa Barbara.

“Could it be?” I began to consider. “Could Santa Barbara really be experiencing a tech boom?” About six

months ago, I got tired of wondering, put on my reporter cap, and started calling around to find the answer. It turned out that executives were eager to talk, thankful for the attention, and resounding in their response: Not only is Santa Barbara’s tech sector buzzing, but our relatively small region is becoming known nationally as a hub for quality start-ups. According to many experts, when it comes to doing tech in California, Santa Barbara is actually considered number three — albeit a distant third — behind Silicon Valley and Santa Monica (which, by the way, took that “Silicon Beach” moniker and ran with it).

There are challenges, of course, much like the ones we all face: Cost of living, especially housing, is high, yet wages struggle to compete with bigger cities. The talent pool is not especially deep. Physical growth is constrained by lack of available building space, which means companies must consider expanding elsewhere when they reach a certain size. Air travel from our pretty airport can be an expensive pain in the butt. (Though subscription-based airlines like Surf Air are helping.)

But the advantages of basing your tech firm here are myriad, as well — again, much like the ones we all enjoy.

The quality of life here is unparalleled. Traffic doesn’t really exist, so commutes are usually 15 minutes or less, and that’s often on foot or bike. You can surf on your lunch break and catch a world-class concert after dinner.

Renowned computer science, engineering, and entrepreneurial programs at UCSB, SBCC, and even Cal Poly up the coast — not to mention more of an engineering and STEM focus at schools like Dos Pueblos and Santa Barbara High — translate to a steady flow of marketable brilliance flowing into our streets with every graduation ceremony. And thanks to a reliable track record for bright people and quality companies, luring people from Silicon Valley to Santa Barbara is easier than ever before — if only because there are now more opportunities to explore if that first job doesn’t work out.

So after speaking with more than 30 executives and getting survey questions answered by nearly 100 companies and organizations, it’s quite clear to me that Santa Barbara is well on its way to becoming a digital paradise by the sea. And that’s something we’d all benefit from supporting because these are generally very clean, good-paying jobs that don’t require tons of space to employ smart people. Those who complain that there’s no way to keep their kids in town should take note.

What follows is just a sampling of the histories, people, and trends pushing this new reality, as well as the results of our first-ever survey.

Welcome to Tech-Topia.

tarted a half century ago, Santa Barbara’s original

BRiAn CoRyAt, local Market launch In a nondescript office building just behind The Press Room on Ortega Street, Brian Coryat oozes start-up optimism. As the successful visionary behind ValueClick, he’s a second-generation entrepreneur who’s back at it again with all the experience, wisdom, and, yes, money to make his next vision come to life.“The start-up experience is pretty radical,” said Coryat, who now runs Local Market Launch, which gives companies a way to manage their online presence, from Yelp reviews to regional white pages.“It’s a roller coaster, and you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.”

He came to town to work for Raytheon in 1991 and found many challenges in building his own company.“It was really hard to recruit anyone who knew anything with any kind of experience,” he said. “But it’s getting richer by the minute,” said Coryat, who laughs at the thought of first meeting Kevin O’Connor in suits on New York’s Madison Avenue — now they’re surfing buddies.“I ride my bike here and wear shorts,” he said.“There’s a lot of creativity, and people do work hard, although they may not work a grind.”

Woody Rollins moved to Santa Barbara from Boston 11 years ago and was quickly impressed that Santa Barbara tech focused on “the hard stuff,” like cloud computing. He cofounded Eucalyptus Systems, which raised $5.5 million from Benchmark Capital in 2009 and sold to Hewlett-Packard in 2014.

“Santa Barbara as a community is very collaborative,” said Rollins, who now runs AppScale, which lets users manage data seamlessly across different cloud systems.“It’s different than Silicon Valley and different than Boston. People are willing to help, folks who have been successful and [are] happy to share their knowledge. That is very, very unique.”

As for challenges, Rollins said it can be hard to find mid-level executives in Santa Barbara and traveling for work can suck. “We have the most wonderful airport,” he said, “but it doesn’t always provide us with great connectivity.”

tech scene was quiet by design: Places like Delco and General Research set up shop near the airport in Goleta, working on top-secret defense projects for the government. That industry still thrives in whispered ways, with companies like Raytheon, Santa Barbara Focalplane (a division of Lockheed Martin), and Tecolote employing hundreds in various research and development capacities.

UCSB’s computer science program simultaneously got serious, thanks largely to the work of Glen Culler, who fostered the first tests for what would become the Internet. “He was way ahead of his time,” said longtime UCSB professor Dick Kemmerer, who recalled more than two dozen small companies, usually with three-letter names such as ACC, spinning out of UCSB in the 1970s and 1980s. “There were booms caused by people,” said Kemmerer, citing other former professors such as Virgil Elings, who built a vast fortune on microscope technology.

By the early 1990s, John MacFarlane had arrived for postgraduate work at UCSB, only to leave and start Software.com, which built the early nuts and bolts of email.

That merged with Phone.com to become Openwave in a 2001 deal valued at $6.4 billion, money that spread into various facets of Santa Barbara life and fertilized the start-up scene. There was also a wave of online advertising companies, such as Commission Junction (now called Conversant, but still headquartered in Santa Barbara) and the “Clicks” of ValueClick (acquired by Conversant in 2014) and DoubleClick (acquired by Google).

In 1997, UCSB professor Klaus Schauser — supposedly media shy and the only person to decline an interview for this issue — launched Expertcity as a means of connecting confused computer users with trained technicians. Schauser soon realized that the remote desktop interface he’d created, which became GoToMyPC, and the conference-call-like technology, which became GoToMeeting, were more valuable than the service itself.

Expertcity “pivoted” its focus and was acquired by Citrix in 2003, reportedly for $225 million.

That began Citrix’s increasingly strong presence in Goleta, where more than 300 people are now employed by the Santa Clara–based, multinational company’s online division. Citrix’s belief in Santa Barbara’s potential was hammered home this year when it hosted one of its Startup Accelerator programs in town, incubating eight start-up companies. “The Innovator Program is a way to place a lot of small bets,” said Citrix Online CTO Bernd Christiansen (an Expercity alum) at the program’s finale inside the Deckers rotunda on September 16. “It’s not about Citrix. It’s about Santa Barbara cultivating an ecosystem to keep more people here.”

sing their experience, reputations, and own newfound wealth, the leaders of these early companies all went on to start more businesses in Santa Barbara. Schauser scored another success when his AppFolio went public this June, raising $74 million; John MacFarlane runs Sonos, the digital audio company that’s taken over many buildings downtown and across the world; ValueClick’s Brian Coryat now runs Local Market Launch; and DoubleClick’s Kevin O’Connor started FindtheBest.com, which recently pivoted into a company called Graphiq. Other executives from these firms went on to start RightScale, LogicMonitor, Riptide IO, and other companies that are moving toward IPOs or other “liquidity” events.

Here’s a look at some of those second- and third-gen entrepreneurs.

steve FRAnCis, logicMonitor Steve Francis moved to the United States with his wife 22 years ago, worked in IT at UCSB, and then joined Expertcity before it was sold to Citrix. In 2007, he started LogicMonitor, which allows companies to monitor their entire “technology stack” (from networks and servers to apps, company storage, and cloud) through one portal.

“There is still a perception that Santa Barbara is a small town without much of a tech scene, but that’s just not true anymore,” said Francis. “Anyone working in tech in Santa Barbara has lots and lots of opportunity, from big companies like Yardi and QAD, as well as the little start-ups. There is an ecosystem.”

The small-town vibe can be helpful, too. “There’s a lot less job hopping,” he said.

“Employees don’t tend to work for six months and then get a bigger offer.” That also goes for the reduced capital-raising opportunities.“If LogicMonitor had been in the Bay Area, we probably would have raised more funding in our life cycle up to this point,” he said.

“But I don’t think that necessarily would have been a good thing.”

In the world of start-ups, the eventual goal, especially after taking on investors, is a “liquidity” event in which equity and stock value is exchanged for cash. Most often, this means an initial public offering (IPO) on a stock exchange like NASDAQ, a k a “going public,” or being acquired by a bigger company.

For being a traditionally male-dominated tech sector, it’s intriguing that three of Santa Barbara’s most inspiring success stories involve women leaders.

lyndA WeiMAn, lynda.com In April 2015, Lynda Weiman and Bruce Heavin sold Lynda .com to LinkedIn for $1.5 billion, one of the biggest deals for a Santa Barbara company in years. “It will be such an amazing accelerant of our idea,” said Weiman of the instructional web video company, which moved from Ojai to Carpinteria in 2010. The deal “came out of left field,” said Weiman, who is no longer involved with the company but hopes having LinkedIn here will only make recruiting employees to Santa Barbara “more appealing.” She explained, “A lot of Silicon Valley companies hire out of UCSB. It would be wonderful to grab more of that brain trust and keep it here.”

‘Entrepreneurs are guys that work 80 hours a week so they don’t have to work 40 hours a week.’

When Pam Lopker graduated in mathematics from UCSB in the early 1970s, she took a job at a defense firm but had to quit when, as a female, she couldn’t go on the military ships. Instead, seeing her husband’s computer woes in running Deckers, the shoe company he cofounded, she started building software programs for global manufacturing companies. Today, QAD employs 1,600 people around the world, with 220 in Santa Barbara at their hilltop headquarters overlooking Summerland, and went public in 1997.

Lopker, who remains very involved in QAD, believes Santa Barbara can be a tough place to do business because of the high taxes and lack of space — once you get above a couple hundred people, other places make a lot more sense — and thinks that more could be done to foster tech growth regionally. Most of her Summerland employees live in Ventura County, actually, due to Santa Barbara’s expensive housing.

But she gives much credit to her alma mater.“The tech companies now in Santa Barbara are directly attributed to the growth of the engineering department at UCSB,” said Lopker.

Idea Stage: Come up with an idea.

Cofounding: Develop team to implement idea.

Boot-Strapping Stage: Funding the idea with your own savings.

Seed and Angel Round: Getting investments from friends, family, and angel investors, who are accredited investors but using their own money, usually in exchange for ownership equity.

Series A Round: The first call for significant venture capital, in exchange for stock in the company.

Series B, C, and Onward: More calls for venture capital in exchange for stock. No limit on rounds, but too many rounds with too much cash scare investors, indicating a delay in the actual business profitability or functionality.

Liquidity Event: Merger, purchase, or initial public offering of company. How to get to this point is called a company’s “exit strategy.”

Start-up Funding Made Very Simple

After selling DoubleClick, Kevin O’Connor came to Santa Barbara to escape 80-hour work weeks in New York City.“I just wanted to raise my family in a great place,” he said.

“I didn’t come here to do a tech company.”

But he was soon building a data-aggregation site called FindtheBest.com, which he just morphed into Graphiq, a company that puts the data into visualizations used mostly by media. Such a pivot is a move second-generation entrepreneurs like O’Connor aren’t afraid to make.“They have that experience and credibility if you’re going to raise outside money,” he said of folks like himself.“And they also have money so they can invest in their own companies and take more risk.”

He fends off notions that Santa Barbara is not a hard-working place, arguing that his employees do have more fun time because they don’t commute for hours each week. “My joke about this area is that we may have as much technology as Silicon Valley per capita — we just don’t have any capita,” he laughed. “But we’ve probably recruited more people from Silicon Valley than we’ve lost to Silicon Valley. It’s gonna kill it here.

The companies that exist right now are doing extremely well.”

‘When I was a kid, it was Raytheon, and that was the only tech company here.

Suddenly, you can go downtown and stand at State and Figueroa streets, and you’re within spitting distance of 10 different companies.’

— dax gulje , RighTs Cale

As an economics major at UCSB, Ali Bauerlein realized that her grandmother’s reliance on immobile, loud, cumbersome refillable oxygen tanks to survive was a problem that needed solving. So in 2001, as a sophomore, Bauerlein teamed with two friends and developed a much more portable solution that concentrates the ambient oxygen.

“None of us had the skills, but we had the problem,” she said of her team, which built a strong business around the new product, now protected by 27 patents, under the name Inogen. “It provides a lot more freedom and mobility for patients,” said Bauerlein.“They never have to worry about running out of oxygen again.”

The Goleta-based company went public in 2014, raising more than $75 million in an IPO, and now shows a market cap of more than $815 million. And they’ve only tapped about 2 percent of the oxygen market so far, which they do through direct sales and marketing in TV infomercials, as well as in AARP magazine, Parade, and other publications. Last year, they did more than $112 million in sales.

Invoca looks like a place you want to work. The Chapala Street office building’s interior walls are vibrantly colored, boasting both the logos of serious clients, as well as company values like “Be Agile.” Bikes and scooters huddle near the lobby, Nerf guns are peppered amid standing desks, a rooftop patio has Wi-Fi and a barbecue, and a bar with a piano, foosball, darts, and draft beer awaits happy hour in the basement.

Formerly known as RingRevenue, Invoca licenses software to companies that sell and market through the telephone. The company employs about 160 people in downtown Santa Barbara, has hired key folks away from Oracle, Microsoft, and Salesforce, and Scott Herriman is reportedly inching toward a 2017 IPO, recently hiring a new CEO in preparation.

Financial ambitions aside, the company, much like Sonos down the street, is bringing to Santa Barbara that youthful, work-hard/play-hard culture that is so famous in Silicon Valley. “Collaboration is the culture that drives that,” said Invoca’s Scott Herriman. “On one hand, people want a quiet space to get work done, but the value of knowing what’s going on around you has been tremendous. Teamwork suffers from being segmented.”

MAx dRuCkeR, social intelligence Max Drucker’s career started at Apple in Cupertino almost 20 years ago, but he came to Santa Barbara in 2001 to run his own software company called Steel Card, which he sold to ChoicePoint (now owned

by LexisNexus) in 2006. Why Santa Barbara? “That’s an easy one, man,” he said. “Anyone’s that’s ever been to Santa Barbara knows why.”

Today, Drucker runs Social Intelligence, which uses social media data to help people get better prices on life insurance, higher credit scores, and even identify insurance fraud.“Millennials have the lowest credit scores of any generation largely because they don’t use traditional forms of credit,” said Drucker.

“Social Intelligence is really about giving people the power to leverage and monetize their own data.”

He’s happy that a major talent-sucking gorilla like Facebook or Google isn’t yet in town and proud of the employees that are here. “You have a talent pool that’s equally focused on the lifestyle and the job,” he said. “That makes for a great employee base.”

Starting out as a Wall Street investment banker, Landon Ray came to Santa Barbara because he didn’t like New York. His web marketing company for the real estate industry didn’t work out but made him realize that the world needed a suite of digital tools to power sales and marketing efforts. In 2006, he launched Ontraport and then cried in his beer and continued upgrading his services until 2009, when it finally caught traction.

Last month, Ray was onstage at the Lobero Theatre and at the Canary Hotel running Ontrapalooza, a conference that Forbes deemed a must-do for entrepreneurs. “Really, it has a lot to do with the experience of the people around us,” Ray told the Lobero crowd in 2014. “If you’re going to devote yourself to a vision that is anything less than totally inspiring, you can expect to be surrounded by people who are willing to do the same. We as a group are a little bit of a different bunch. We’re sort of natural builders … What we think is that we can make the world a better place.”

JACQues hABRA, Noospheric Jacques Habra arrived in Santa Barbara from Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 2006.“I felt like I was the only tech entrepreneur in the area,” he said. “The focus was on tourism and real estate. That certainly has changed.”

Habra’s incubator Noospheric helps take companies like TrackR from idea to market and believes more should be done to foster such growth. “Planning officials should be thinking about software and the kind of tech companies that take up much less space,” said Habra. “They don’t need to manufacture anything. It’s more about people, and it doesn’t take a huge amount of people to build a powerful, worldwide-impact kind of start-up.”

John GReAthouse, Rincon venture Partners

thursday, november 5, 2015

John Greathouse broke into the Santa Barbara scene with Computer Motion when robotics was hot at UCSB and has made wise investments of time and money since then in Citrix, RightScale, Eucalyptus, and Invoca.

“Hopefully there’s nobody left who thinks we can’t build world-class companies in town,” said Greathouse, who is a partner at Rincon Venture Partners, a real homegrown venture capital firm, and also teaches in UCSB’s Technology Management Program.“That was something that held people back like five-plus years ago. But we’ve arrived.”

He sees start-up companies as dandelions, with seeds blowing in the wind to start more little companies.“That takes time,” he said. “You can’t just flip a switch and have all those conditions manifest themselves. I definitely feel it here these days. But it’s taken 20 years.”

kyle AshBy, impact hub & startupsB

When Goleta-raised, UCSB-educated web designer Kyle Ashby returned to town in 1999, he saw a lot of opportunity for tech in Santa Barbara but not much support, like what he’d witnessed for filmmakers and musicians back in his Isla Vista days. “The arts community has been doing this for a long time,” he said. “But nobody had wrapped their heads around how that could work for the tech community.” After working on his own for nearly a decade, Ashby was inspired by the start-up buzz from around the country and hosted the first StartupSB weekend in November 2011, when teams went from concept to prototype in about 72 hours. The fifth one will be sometime next year.

But Ashby’s primary goal today is opening the Impact Hub on State Street. An 11,500-square-foot building, the hub — one of nearly 80 nationwide focused on incubating socially progressive and beneficial businesses — will house small offices for start-ups and nonprofits, co-working space, programming for all to learn, and much more.

“There are a lot companies doing the right thing and making the right impacts in our communities that we can learn from,” said Ashby, who plans to open by December 1.

As with any industry, tech needs a support system to thrive. Santa Barbara now enjoys quite a healthy network of educational and experiential programs, as well as venture capital to support the best ideas. Here’s a rundown.

There are a number of younger start-ups to keep an eye on, ranging from still in development to well-funded.

They’re expanding the typical business-to-business, software-as-a-service scope of Santa Barbara tech, entering the Internet of Things, consumer electronics, and even virtual reality. Here’s a brief list.

CoMpAnIES To wATCH

dAve AdoRnetto, uCsB’s tMP and GeM Dave Adornetto left the private sector a few years ago to run UCSB’s Technology Management Program (TMP) and the associated New Venture Competition, which just celebrated its 16th annual affair. “TMP was developed to give highly technically trained STEM students at UCSB a broader background in business,” said Adornetto, “so that when they hit the job market, they can be much more valuable and advance quickly.”And it works: Almost every executive credits TMP’s impact as one of the major reasons Santa Barbara tech is thriving.

Adornetto recently took the reins of another promising initiative called GEM, or Goleta Entrepreneurial Magnet, a collaboration started in 2012 between the City of Goleta, Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce, and UCSB. “The goal is really economic vitalization,” said Adornetto, who manages the shared office space and mentorship program in Old Town Goleta. “Hopefully when the teams graduate from the program, they set up shop in Goleta or Santa Barbara and they feed back, mentoring other teams. It’s a whole ecosystem that self-feeds over time.”

MelissA MoReno, sBCC & Mit enterprise Forum Santa Barbara City College is making an impact on the start-up scene, as well. In 2008, Melissa Moreno cofounded the Scheinfeld Center for Enterprise & Innovation, which teaches students how to build a marketable business while also inspiring them with lectures by successful entrepreneurs such as Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia, Pam Lopker of QAD, Doug Otto of Deckers, and Wayne Rosing, former VP of engineering at Google.“We’ve been discovering that not only is there a hotbed of tech activity,” said Moreno,“but this is a place where entrepreneurs like to retire.”

Moreno also recently started Enterprise Launch, where students have a single semester to take a product from concept to reality.“We’re more about, what skills do these students have that they can draw from to create their own jobs immediately?” said Moreno, noting that FuelBox started in this program and is now worth an estimated $4.5 million.“It gets students thinking in a different way.”

Moreno is also on the board of the MIT Enterprise Forum, which hosts monthly panels of experts in specific sectors, including recent ones on the audio industry and disaster relief. “It’s a simple model that keeps us going,” said Moreno, whose chapter spans from San Luis Obispo to Thousand Oaks and is one of 20 nationwide.

“We’re just trying to keep connected to what’s happening in technology.”

TrackR cofounders Chris Herbert (left) and Christian Smith TrackR: TrackR, which makes a device that affixes to your keys or other easily lost items and tracks their location on your smartphone, recently received $8.7 million in funding. “The market likes the product, so right now we need to increase sales and expose the company as quickly as possible,” said CEO Chris Herbert, who’s attracted most capital from out of town.“It takes a lot to get the initial start-up going, but once you get that momentum, it builds rapidly and exponentially.”

CoMpAnIES To wATCH conTInued Milo: This company, which is developing a Fitbit-like wristband to monitor blood-alcohol

levels, won UCSB’s New Venture Competition this year, participated in Citrix’s Innovators Program, and earned the support of Matt Dies, whose daughter, Mallory, was killed by a drunk driver. “In Santa Barbara, there was a huge amount of respect and validation for our idea,” said cofounder Evan Strenk. “We would have gotten a little buried within the thousands of companies coming out of San Francisco. That’s allowed us to get buzz around our product. People want to help, and we instantly had angels. There is a really good scene.”

ShipHawk: When Westmont grad Jeremy Bodenhamer bought a packing/shipping shop

and realized it would cost $4,800 to deliver a wooden rocking horse, he realized there was a problem. ShipHawk is his answer — a digital platform that makes it easy for e-commerce businesses to ship oddly sized packages and everything else to customers. Today, Bodenhamer could have shipped that horse for $300.

Smartstones: Andreas Forsland’s invention may improve

the lives of the elderly, developmentally disabled, and others who have trouble communicating — and perhaps change culture for the rest of us. Called Smartstones, his handheld, rock-like devices allow people to communicate with preprogrammed gestures, so college kids could say hi to mom with a quick swipe, older people can check in with their kids the same way, and autistic people can better “talk” to each other. “We have big populations of people who live in the shadows,” said Forsland. “We could be introducing something that might help them have a more diverse social environment, where people who have felt isolated can comingle with everyone else.”

World Viz: Getting an undisclosed amount of funding from Intel in April, World Viz is using virtual reality to expo-

nentially save costs on the design of airplanes, hospital rooms, and other places that typically require expensive foam models. But the possibilities are endless, with VR value expected to exceed $150 billion by 2020.“We’re really focused on putting the rubber on the road,” said CEO Peter Schlueer, a former music journalist who’s helped the company double in size over the past year.“We definitely have a strong technology road map that will keep us busy for a while.”

‘The Silicon Valley commute was crazy, but there are still things I miss about it.

Santa Barbara doesn’t have the tech energy that’s up there—and frankly, it really is difficult to recruit engineers for a start-up here—but we’ve got a better lifestyle balance.’

Tech Survey 2015 apEEl SCiENCES Welcome to the nuts and bolts of Tech-topia.

What follows is a listing of every company and organization that responded to our widely publicized Santa Barbara Tech Survey.

We won’t pretend that this is a 100 percent bulletproof list of every single outfit working with any form of technology in Santa Barbara today. But with nearly 100 entries, we do believe it to be the most comprehensive effort to identify the players in Santa Barbara’s tech scene.

And yes, we are using the word “tech” incredibly broadly, including everything from SaaS (software as a service) and cloud computing companies to biomedical firms and defense companies. We’ve tried to break them up into meaningful categories, though realize many could fall under multiple titles.

Additionally, we have included a list of “Resources,” which are all the folks working in the various roles, from marketing to office rentals, required to keep our burgeoning tech sector healthy.

If we missed you, please visit independent.com/tech to ensure that we get you next time!

LIFE SCIEnCES Though Santa Barbara doesn’t pack quite the dense punch of the biomed/pharmaceutical complex of San Diego, there are quite a few companies, usually with UCSB ties, that are involved in improving our health and well-being. This category also includes companies that serve the life science industry itself.

iNogEN, iNC

Founded: November 2001 Employees: 411 Estimated worth: Market cap: $815 million (as of 10/28/15) Stage of growth: IPO in February 2014; NASDAQ: INGN Inogen is a medical technology company that primarily develops, manufactures, and markets innovative portable oxygen concentrators used to deliver supplemental long-term oxygen therapy to patients suffering from chronic respiratory conditions. Traditionally, these patients have relied on stationary oxygen concentrator systems for use in the home and oxygen tanks or cylinders for mobile use, which must be delivered regularly, have a finite amount of oxygen, and require long, cumbersome tubing. The Inogen One systems concentrate the air around the patient to offer a single source of supplemental oxygen anytime and anywhere with a portable device weighing approximately 4.8 or 7.0 pounds. That reduces reliance on stationary concentrators and scheduled deliveries of tanks, thereby improving patient quality of life and fostering mobility. inogen.com

lege’s first wine release. Called Captain’s Reserve after Captain Allan Hancock, the brand includes 11 wines that will soon be released.

“Our college is very unique in the sense that it’s not expensive, you don’t have to commit to four years of study, and the courses are similar to what you see in other institutions,” said Koch, whose esteemed list of instructors include such well-known vintners as Michael Larner (Larner Vineyard & Winery), Doug Braun (Presidio Winery), Norm Yost (Flying Goat Cellars), and Wes Hagen (Clos Pepe Estate and now J. Wilkes). They teach everything from basic introductory courses to more focused classes on plant nutrition, sensory evaluation, and marketing strategy. There are also satellite classrooms in Lompoc and Solvang, which attract would-be winemakers from Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and even San Diego.

And the college also offers internships in the field and credit for students who are working on projects in a winery or vineyard.

“We have international students from Canada, Croatia, Japan, China, Mexico, and Argentina, and some from other states, too, like Massachusetts and Michigan,” said Koch, who taught at the University of Bordeaux in France this past summer in order to grow Allan Hancock’s global network. “But most students are from the Central Coast.

Many work in the industry and just want to learn more, some want their associate degree and certificates, and many would like to transfer, by starting at Allan Hancock and then going to Cal Poly, Davis, or Fresno.”

Koch knows that many Santa Barbara County winemakers started their careers by working rather than studying, but while he values learning on the job, he suggests taking some basic instruction first.“I strongly recommend starting with a course, even some online courses, said Koch. “Then you understand a lot more. It’s fast, it’s better, and it’s not too difficult.”

CIELITO MERRY SPECTACULAR

Want to Work in Wine? ineyards and wineries together directly contribute more than $200 million and 5,000-plus jobs to the regional economy. But when combined with the booming tourism market of hotels, restaurants, and tour companies whose explosive growth is rooted in the popularity of Santa Barbara wine country, it’s quite possible that the wine business — with an overall impact estimated to be $1.7 billion annually, according to a forthcoming study commissioned by the Santa Barbara Vintners’ Association — is indeed the county’s number one economic engine.

Alfredo Koch at Allan Hancock College wants to keep it that way. As coordinator of the Santa Maria–based community college’s agribusiness program, Koch offers two-year tracks in viticulture, winemaking, and wine business — altogether attracting about 500 associate-degree-seeking students per year—as well as a variety of affordable classes for newcomers to the industry and working professionals alike to continue honing their skills.

“In order to remain competitive and keep our very nice industry, it’s very important to invest time and resources into education and research,” said Koch, who worked on his family’s vineyards in Argentina from age 5 before heading north for graduate degrees from Cal Poly and UC Davis.“It’s essential, I would say.

Nowadays, you cannot afford to damage the wines or make wrong decisions in the vineyard. You realize many years later, and it could be really expensive.”

Hired away from a teaching job at UC Davis in 2007, Koch replanted most of the college’s four-acre vineyards — exploring clones of pinot noir and chardonnay but also testing out five vines of 50 different varietals from around the world—and also launched a winery in an old building in 2008. That was torn down a couple of years ago, but today students enjoy a brand-new winemaking facility, complete with the latest equipment. And after nine years of trying, the campus winery was also bonded last fall, which paved the way for the col-

Campo Viejo 2013 Tempranillo: At right around $10 retail, it’s easy to think of this Spanish charmer as “Temptranillo.” Even easier is the common quandary of, how do European winemakers make and ship us such tasty values when it’s so hard to get a tasty bargain from California?

This medium-weight red offers plum and berry flavors underscored with a bit of earth; it’s far from being as rustic and rich as many riojas, but that makes it an even better food wine — especially this time of year, when we get to start roasting vegetables and braising meat.

Think of it as an Old World grape using New World methods — it’s fermented in stainless steel and then aged in American oak for four months. That leads to a very approachable wine.

+ prOmiSe Of The real The MonsanTo Years

Neil Young’s latest project is a reality-inducing album, which asks listeners to wake up and respond to the ecological destruction that threatens our common home. The controversial Monsanto Company — which formerly produced DDT, Agent Orange, PCBs, and bovine growth hormone, and currently represents a huge threat with its GM seeds and patents — is the chief villain of Young’s harvested song cycle. “A New Day for Love” is a call to arms, while the poignant “Wolf Moon” finds Young paying reverence to nature, despite big industry’s misuse of her. On “People Want to Hear About Love,” Young and the band address the moral torpor of the apathetic masses. The acerbic “A Rock Star Bucks a Coffee Shop” calls out Starbucks and Monsanto for suing the state of Vermont to block GMO labeling, and “Workin’ Man” tackles Monsanto’s egregious lawsuit against Indiana farmer Vernon Bowman. In the tradition of the late, great legends John Lennon, Bob Marley, and Joe Strummer, Young urges us to imagine and make manifest a world where we stand up for our rights against those who would impose complete control.

—Sean Mageean

meG mYerS sorrY

Meg Myers has no reason to apologize for the release of Sorry Sorry, except that the haunting singer/songwriter’s first fulllength album should have dropped years ago. Having already scored two radio hits with singles “Desire” and “Sorry,” the Tennessee native’s first album was a long time coming. Sorry is 10 tracks of raw and eerie storytelling, falling somewhere between alternative rock and Goth pop. Dark and passionate almost to the point of being disturbing, Myer’s vocals range from soft, broken, and gentle to frenzied growling and screaming in the span of a four-minute song — think Alanis Morissette meets Marilyn Manson. Myers brings in the fullfledged darkness with the lyrically feverish “Desire” and “I Really Want You to Hate Me,” with lyrics such as, “I gotta hunt you / I gotta bring you to my hell,” and, “There’s no love for the wicked.” Pairing violins and harpsichords alongside rock electric guitars, Myers creates a slew of catchy could-be radio hits contained in an album filled with ominous undertones.

Opera S.B.’S DOn GiOvanni

W

hat does it take to play the world’s most legendary seducer? If you said extraordinary good looks, an imposing sense of masculinity, and an air of being more than a little dangerous, you’d be correct but incomplete, at least if we are talking about playing the lead role in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. For that, you’d need all of the above, plus a brilliant yet creamy baritone singing voice. Fortunately for us, and for Opera Santa Barbara, Mark Walters, who will star in this weekend’s production at the Granada Theatre, has it all. Walters is fresh off of a number of operatic triumphs, including successful performances as Don Pizarro in Beethoven’s Fidelio (with Kentucky Opera in 2014 and Opera Omaha in 2015), Scarpia in Tosca with Sarasota Opera, and Don Giovanni with Seattle Opera almost exactly one year ago.

In Seattle, Walters came onstage riding a motorcycle; this production will be more traditional than that, but it still has a contemporary feeling. The setting and design are based on the genre of film noir, and Walters, whom I spoke with over the phone recently, described it as “a little different — starker and more dramatic.”

His take on the character of Don Giovanni is something that has developed over time, and that is in part based on his apprenticeship with the legendary baritone, Sherrill Milnes. Walters said that, apart from his image as a master manipulator, there’s also “a certain impetuousness to Don Giovanni’s behavior. He feels immortal, and he doesn’t really care about the consequences of his actions, but in this particular situation, his recklessness takes him somewhere he hasn’t been before, and as a result he gains a new perspective.”

Asked what is the most important effect that an actor/singer must create when playing this legendary role, Walters replied without hesitation, saying, “You can humanize him along the way, but the audience must approve wholeheartedly when he is dragged off to hell.”

Opera Santa Barbara’s Don Giovanni is Friday, November 6, 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, November 8, 2:30 p.m., at the Granada Theatre, 1214 State Street.

EVERYDAY OBJECTS: Photographer Raúl Corrales’s “Fishing Nets/La atarraya” (circa 1950) captures a lone fisherman from the village of Cojimar, Cuba, flinging a white net, its light fabric floating improbably far into the air. This is just one of the 47 works created since the 1930s by artists living and working in Latin American countries being shown in the SBMA exhibit Looking In, Looking Out.

A

good photography survey exhibit explores the medium and its function in society simultaneously. For Looking In, Looking Out, Karen Sinsheimer selected 47 works that were created since the 1930s by artists living and working in Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, and other nations. All the photos are from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s extensive and significant holdings in Latin American photography, and, in fulfillment of the title’s promise, they allow us to look inward at how these artists think and feel, and outward at what they find when they point their lenses at Latin American life. Thanks to the myriad uses for photography outside gallery walls and to the innovations of photography’s fine art practitioners, the medium never stands still. Documentary and aesthetic objectives merge in these photos, resulting in a sense of a shared practice that nevertheless encompasses a multitude of styles and subjects.

Without adhering to a single identifiable school, the images in Looking In, Looking Out evoke an identifiable and coherent point of view.

The first thing to know about this shared perspective is that the photographers never forget to connect people to the land. In Juan Carlos Coppel’s “Sin título” (2014) from the series Siete cerros, the wide-open spaces of an agricultural site in Mexico render humans, their tools, and even their vehicles as tiny specks on a long and distant flat horizon line, making it appear as though civilization is a thin layer of glue attaching the land to the sky. “Carpoolers,” a color photo taken

by Alejandro Cartagena from a bridge over the highway in Monterrey, Mexico, shows workers sprawled out in the back of a pickup

truck. Again, through a change in perspective, the human figure is redefined—and rehumanized—in relation to the earth below.

Another powerful current flowing through the collective consciousness on display is one that cultivates the transcendence in everyday objects. Erika Diettes submerges garments that once belonged to Colombian citizens who have “disappeared” during that country’s political upheaval. Her crisp color images capture the sensuality of bright cloth, moving water, and the light that flashes through it, all the while asserting the poignant absence of the humans who once wore the clothes, many of them presumably drowned in these same turbulent rivers.

Looking backward in time at the earlier images in the show, it’s easy to see that lyricism has long been a palpable part of the tradition embodied by such modernist black-and-white photography pioneers as Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Raúl Corrales.

It’s heartening to see that the SBMA owns an image that’s at once as iconic and as humble as Alvarez Bravo’s “Dog Number 20” from 1958. Likewise, it’s hard to imagine a more pure display of the black-and-white photographer’s art than Corrales’s magnificent “La atarraya” circa 1950. In the picture, a lone fisherman from the village of Cojimar, Cuba, where Hemingway found his “old man,” flings a white net, its light fabric floating improbably far into the air. The simplicity of the fisherman’s gesture underscores the sense of something miraculous in the flowing spread of his net. As with the photographer’s finger on the shutter button, there’s a deep connection between the precise moment of human action and something larger that n emanates from it.

COURTESY UCSB THEATER/DANCE

a&e | theater PreVIeW

empyrean records presents VENUS IN CHAINS: SuzanLori Parks’s play explores the alienation and exploitation of women in colonial times.

Feminine Form

U

CSB kicks off the 2015-2016 academic year with Suzan-Lori Parks’s Venus, the Obie-winning play about the exploitive sexualization of Sarah Baartman, a sideshow performer known as the Hottentot Venus.

Directed by Tom Whitaker, Parks’s work reinvents the life and adventures of Baartman, a South African woman sold into the European sideshow circuit in the early 19th century. Venus’s full figure (a probable case of steatopygia, a genetic quality in which women develop substantial gluteal tissue, resulting in a curvy physique uncommon to women of European decent) earns her a degree of fame throughout Europe as a living curio. Shown through the degrading quality of human trafficking (Baartman sold to the sideshow) and the subsequent objectification of Baartman’s unusual-looking body, Venus examines some of the many damaging effects of imperialism

by Maggie Yates and the commoditization of colonized populations.

Venus’s “act” in the sideshow consists mostly of displaying her exotic features, including her buttocks and genitals, for the purpose of entertaining attraction attendees. Her unusual physical traits garner wide interest from the public, and Venus is paraded before fascinated audiences from all over Europe. Venus’s popularity brings her a heightened sense of worth, but the objectification of her physical form seals her fate as a subject for constant examination and study. The Baron Docteur, a European doctor of means, purchases Venus as a mistress, though his true intent is to study her body post-mortem. Venus accompanies the Baron Docteur to Paris as a lover and contracts gonorrhea from him. Knowing her condition, he denies Venus treatment for the malady and instead conspires to have her jailed until her death, when he can collect the body for his intended analysis. While not a historically accurate portrayal of the genuine Baartman’s life, Parks’s work is a provocative look at the degrading practices of slavery and human ownership, the perverse thrill of infamy, and the gross objectification of women in the colonial era (especially women of color).

While Parks’s drama is certainly driven by the contrast between Venus the person and Venus the object of fascination, Parks’s Baartman is not necessarily written as a repressed character who embodies victimization. The suggestion of Venus’s implicit involvement in her captive lifestyle insinuates that this complex character is, among other things, subtly opportunistic despite her limited control over her situation. Venus isn’t merely a play that scrutinizes society’s obsession with “the outsider” or “the other”; it’s the story of a woman’s rise to and fall from fame within an alien culture. While Venus has little choice in most of her life decisions due to her position as property of the sideshow, she uses what influence she has to maintain her celebrity.

Venus’s stardom is a point of leverage — and, ultimately, the key to her ruin.

Featuring UCSB undergraduate student performers and live music directed by the UCSB Jazz Ensemble’s Jon Nathan, this fictionalized account of Baartman’s experiences as the Hottentot Venus portrays the racism, sexism, and objectification common in the colonial era and challenges audiences with unfettered views of celebrity, survival, and the portrayal of sex and the human form as oddity commodities.

Lise de La saLLe’s Life in Music

W

LYNN GOLDSMITH

hen I caught up with the Parisian piano phenomenon Lise de la Salle, she was getting ready for a nice lunch in New York City. Now a permanent New Yorker since February, she will be performing her Santa Barbara recital debut on Sunday, November 8, at Hahn Hall via the UCSB Arts & Lectures Up Close & Musical series. I spoke with her about her favorite piano players, her technique, and the importance of support.

You played with the L.A. Phil at the Granada Theatre in May. Can you tell us more about your L.A. connection? I’m lucky to have this

relationship with the L.A. Phil.

The first time I played with them, I was 20-21 [now 27]. My first time I played with them, it was a big deal to debut with them, but it was also my debut at the Hollywood Bowl, playing Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in front of 15,000 people.

CLOSE TO THE MUSIC: Pianist Lise de la Salle emphasizes emotional connection above technicality in the pieces she selects.

Who are some of your favorite piano players? I have always loved

27-Year-Old Pianist talks

support and styLing

Sviatoslav Richter; growing up, I listened to all of his recordings.

For me, the most remarkable thing about his playing is his honesty; he gives 100 percent of himself through his music. You can feel that he is not a show-off player; he is not trying to demonstrate or trying to play the way that the audience wants. He does an incredible job of getting and staying close to the music.

What do you think makes your styling of playing piano unique? What are some of your strengths? That is a difficult question. I don’t consider my way of playing special or unique.

I just play the way I play, and I have the most incredible time playing for an audience. Their answer and reaction is there, so my relationship with the audience is the emotional link that we have developed over the years. I’m a very emotional player, and I think the most important thing is to create a mutual feeling that we can share during the performance.

What do you do outside of music — what do you do for fun? [Chuckles.] For fun, I do lots

of things like, you know, “normal people.” I love good food, and I like to explore the nice restaurants. Living in New York, it’s a great place to do that. I love to go to museums when I have time because I was really influenced by my upbringing. Music and painting were the two big focuses in the family. I grew up around art — I think I got the virus. You know, when you have little time with the people you love, your family and friends, you just want to sit in a nice area, drink and talk — to do things that are important in a very simple way that gives you things to think about and grow as a human being. I think too many players today forget that music is not a science. It’s not like if

4•1•1

by Gustavo Uribe you put the right amount of time and practice you can just play; it’s about emotion and the message you want to share.

What do you look for in music that speaks to you and brings out the connection with the music? I think we pianists are extremely lucky because we have the widest repertoire, but I don’t play music unless I have an emotional connection.

Lately, I have been playing a lot of Beethoven and Brahms because I feel very close to the German romantic composers.

When you’re playing their music, do you feel that you’re bringing your voice to them, or do you feel like the music tells you how to play it? Yeah, that raises the question, “What is supposed to be first?” But if you feel that you understand the music, and you have that inner voice that tells you in a way what to do, that is a good sign, a good beginning. Music is primarily about emotion and instinct.

What are your future goals; what do you have planned for us? I’ve had a very exiting trajec-

tory career-wise, but I would be very happy to perform with orchestras that I haven’t played with yet, play in new venues, and develop new musical relationships. You know, this is a very difficult and intense life if you’re not careful and don’t have the right people around. If you don’t take care of yourself, you can be overwhelmed and eaten by the system in a way.

I am very thankful because I feel that I have the best people around me — a great team that loves and supports me.

Lise de la Salle performs at the Music Academy of the West’s Hahn Hall on Sunday, November 8, at 4 p.m. Call 893-3535 or visit artsandlectures.sa.ucsb.edu for more information. independent.com

ManDolin DaD New father chris thile loves Bach aNd the loBero

by Charles Donelan

D

uring his last concert at the Lobero in February 2014, mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile thrilled the audience by segueing from Bach to bluegrass — sometimes in the middle of a piece. Don’t be surprised if similar transitions occur when Thile is onstage at the Lobero this Sunday, November 8, for another passionate solo performance. Thile has been on a wild ride since his last visit. He and his wife, Grimm star Claire Coffee, welcomed their first child, Calvin Thile, into the world in May 2015, and in July, Thile announced that he would succeed Garrison Keillor as host of A Prairie Home Companion in the fall of 2016.

With that much going on, most mortals would take some time off from touring, but not Thile, who has more than two dozen gigs scheduled between now and New Year’s Eve, with the month of November devoted to solo shows and December set aside for getting back with his group Punch Brothers.

When I caught up with Thile by phone from his home in Portland last week, he was hanging with Calvin, and he had the kind of morning-sun warmth in his voice that the fathers of 5-month-olds get sometimes.

About the Bach sonatas, Volume 1 of which he released in 2013, he said,“the second half is coming — I’m getting ready to record it now.” When I asked him what it took

to decide he was ready to record Bach in the first place, he told me that he “learned about Bach by performing” and that he “finally felt up to” recording the sonatas after having played them often enough at theaters like the Lobero, which he praised as “one of the greatest halls in the world.” As for what to expect this time, Thile promised “spontaneous calls set-list-wise — I’m trying to be lighter on my feet.” Something tells me that won’t be hard for this fleet-fingered master musician.

Beatnik talking richarD thoMpson Makes folk Music for today

i

n the welter of releases that flood the music market weekly, it’s rare to find an artist who manages to remain both original and reliable. Richard Thompson, who made his recording debut with Fairport Convention in 1967, has since surpassed all expectations on both counts. From the moment he began, it was obvious that he was one of the great guitar players in the history of rock, right up with Clapton, Hendrix, and Page.

What has only become clearer with the passage of time is that he is also one of music’s greatest singer/songwriters, as well. With Still, his 2015 release produced

by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Thompson delivers a sterling performance that ranks in the top five of the more than two dozen records he has made under his own name.

When Thompson hits the stage at the Lobero on Friday, November 6, he will open with an acoustic set and then set things ablaze on electric guitar in a trio format with Taras Prodaniuk on bass and Michael Jerome on drums. I spoke with Thompson from his home in Los Angeles last week about the new album, the tour, and what keeps him sounding so good.

You’ve worked with two strong producers on your last two albums, Buddy Miller for Electric and Jeff Tweedy for Still.

You’ve got the experience to produce yourself — why go into the studio with someone else? It’s possible to get tired of your own ideas, and with someone else, you have a different kind of filter. I can’t necessarily hear what’s not working, but a good producer can tell you that a song is a verse too long, and you may not agree, but oftentimes he’s right.

You get a lot of attention for your guitar playing, but I want to ask about your voice. You sound so authentic and sincere to me. To what do you attribute that quality? Thanks. I think my voice has improved over time, and the sincerity is because I’m a folk musician. With traditional music, you tend to sing in an authentic way. I also sing in a British accent, and not too many people do that.

ALL IS FAIR: Hope and Justin will debut songs from their new album, Love & War, Saturday, November 7, at Plaza Playhouse Theater in Carpinteria.

Good Music, Good PeoPle

by Richie DeMaria

MUSIC BETWEEN FOLKS: Hope and Justin, the Carpinteria folk band centered around songwriting husband-and-wife duo Hope and Justin Schneir, are unafraid to tackle some of the larger questions of existence.

On their upcoming album, Love & War —for which they will host a pre-release party at Carpinteria’s Plaza Playhouse Theater on Saturday, November 7 — they adapt traditional styles and instruments to craft contemplative, contemporary folk-pop. The title track collapses together the personal and the political. “This song was really written about a friend going through a relationship split, trying to work things and make peace,” Hope said. “I wrote it in light of how the world was seeming so charged with aggression and war, on how to find peace on a large scale and on a small scale, and wondering if it’s even possible.”

It’s that wondering that adds a special gravity to Hope and Justin’s music.

The Schneir duo strives to write music that’s honest and openhearted. Spiritual without being preachy, they grapple with questions of doubt and faith through reimagined roots music. Yet at the music’s heart is a level of joyousness, a music born of love — Hope and Justin have been playing music together since the first time they met. The pair began initially as a duo but morphed into a six-piece after calling upon a group of friends to perform earlier material live. Love & War is their first release as a full-on band, and if the lead single is any indication, it’s going to be a very strong one.

The band gained recognition in years past, being voted New Folk finalists in the Texan Kerrville Folk Festival, semifinalists in the International Songwriting Competition (beating out more than 20,000 contestants), and winners of Best Folk Song in the West Coast Songwriters Competition. What began as a shared hobby has become a bigger project, one still gaining momentum, but their folk music has not strayed from its roots. “I love that at the base of it, folk music is very simple and easy to re-create and share, and I think with fame-or-nothing shows like American Idol, we’ve gotten away from what music is supposed to be,” she said.

Sharon Silva of The Wild Reeds similarly appreciates the approachable quality of folk and American-roots music. “I haven’t seen anything in the Americana scene that’s too good for anyone else,” said one of the singers of the L.A. folk outfit, which plays SOhO on Thursday, November 5, with Hot Buttered Rum. Americana musicians, she said, “are trying to make something real that’s in their heart, and there’s something so wonderful and authentic about that.”

NPR recently picked up on The Wild Reeds’ own authenticity when they declared the three-female-fronted band one of the Top 10 Americana bands of the moment in September. On a recent East Coast tour, where the band visited the ancestral home of the music they make, the band was so true to form that “a lot of people thought we were from Nashville,” Silva said.

Yet make no mistake: The Wild Reeds are certainly progressive. Deeming their sound “heavy folk,” the group sings deep from the heart with a big and sometimes inventive, rule-bending sound. Besides their obvious talents, The Wild Reeds stand out with their dedication to kindness. Though the newfound fame has thrown their way the difficulties of a more hectic schedule, Silva said the band is focused chiefly on remaining grateful and kind amid the new attention. “I would say that above all, between the five n of us, we’re just trying to keep being good people,” Silva said.

Hilarious Musical Improvisation for Kids

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE: Cate Blanchett stars as journalist Mary Mapes opposite Robert Redford (left) as Dan Rather.

SomethIng About mAry

Truth. Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, and Topher Grace star in a film written and directed by James Vanderbilt and based on the book by Mary Mapes.

Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

I

t’s not that much about Truth actually. A far better title for this TV-news melodrama would be Clearing Mary Mapes, who was the CBS producer whose story about George W. Bush’s Vietnam military “career” led to her and Dan Rather’s downfalls. The movie prompts us to be indignant with Viacom, the parent company of CBS News, who threw Mapes and Rather under a bus, and such anger deserves airing, but maybe not with all the journalistic self-sanctification this movie exudes. A final disclaimer, standard in motion-picture credits, acknowledges that the film is based on real events, though narrative liberties were taken.

movIe guIde

That kind of misrepresentation, slight though it may be, has enormous bearing on the film’s self-righteousness.

Toward the end, Mapes (Cate Blanchett) makes a pretty speech to a panel of Viacom stooges about her absence of political bias, the clearheaded goal her 60 Minutes piece maintained: investigating whether Bush faked details of his time in the Texas National Guard. Her critics were trying to discredit her news team with accusations of bias and incompetence leading them into conspiracy webs.

The story was all that ever mattered, she claims.

But that story is missing from this reenactment, too.

This is a movie about ambition; I don’t doubt Mapes and company were onto something. Perhaps they were misled and then crucified. But the film, beautifully shot and directed by James Vanderbilt, and based on a book

by Mapes, tucks Bush behind Mapes’s saga, including a father-daughter story about physical abuse. She talks about her critics “hitting” her frequently.

This is not, as you might have assumed, a Dan Rather saga and is not much of a Robert Redford movie, either.

Worse, it isn’t ultimately concerned with what Bush did.

Mapes, the movie tells us, has not held a job since 2004 but apparently hasn’t pursued the story further on her own. All we know is that her career took a big hit, and n that’s the most truth we ever learn.

Burnt (100 mins.; R: language throughout) There is a kind of screenwriting working in this film, more sitcom than cinematic, that paints itself into a tough corner of predictable surprises. There is one nice twist in the film, but most of the surprises owe more debt to Fawlty Towers than O. Henry. The problem lies in the simple fact that this is a weirdly overwrought story about a jerk chef (Bradley Cooper) who wants redemption and somehow finds nice people who enable it. It’s hard to get enthusiastic about the chef, who quit drinking, drugs, and sous chef seductions but still throws kitchen hissy fits that make Gordon Ramsay look like a Zen monk.

The cooking scenes (the food porn) are pretty good, and the kitchen

emerges as one of those easily accessed high-drama zones like high school or a police department. The demands of cuisine perfection and the ambiguities of taste contrast nicely against the scrubbed stainless steel and the sizzling pans. The metaphors practically cook themselves. Also, Burnt offers a fine rogues’ gallery of European actors: Sienna Miller (Factory Girl), Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds), and Matthew Rhys (The Americans) among them.

And, of course, there is Cooper, ascendant mostly due to the films he made with David O. Russell. This isn’t a Cooper revelation or even a thoughtful parsing of kitchen professionals. You don’t learn how to clean sweetbreads or keep a sauce from separating in Burnt, but the drama of a predictable loser’s

O Steve Jobs

(122 122 mins.; R: language)

Technically this may be a Danny Boyle film, but this movie belongs to Aaron Sorkin: It’s his masterpiece — a soaring, engaging, intricately choreographed film crammed with conversations, fights, and even touching exchanges. It’s thrilling talk. 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 long-neglected daughter Lisa, show him something he wants to see. Boyle’s directorial methods are mostly disciplined.

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 novembeR 5 ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): In 1978, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield began selling their new ice cream out of a refurbished gas station in Burlington, Vermont.

Thirty-seven years later, Ben & Jerry’s is among the world’s best-selling ice cream brands. Its success stems in part from its willingness to keep transforming the way it does business.“My mantra is ‘Change is a wonderful thing,’ ” says the current CEO. As evidence of the company’s intention to keep re-evaluating its approach, there’s a “Flavor Graveyard” on its website, where it lists flavors it has tried to sell but ultimately abandoned. “Wavy Gravy,” “Tennessee Mud,” and “Turtle Soup” are among the departed. Now is a favorable time for you to engage in a purge of your own, Aries. What parts of your life don’t work any more?

What personal changes would be wonderful things?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): Before he helped launch Apple Computer in the 1970s, tech pioneer Steve Wozniak ran a dial-a-joke service. Most of the time, people who called got an automated recording, but now and then Wozniak answered himself. That’s how he met Alice Robertson, the woman who later became his wife.

I’m guessing you will have comparable experiences in the coming weeks, Taurus. Future allies may come into your life in unexpected ways. It’s as if mysterious forces will be conspiring to connect you with people you need to know.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Small, nondestructive earthquakes are common. Our planet has an average of 1,400 of them every day. This subtle underground mayhem has been going on steadily for millions of years. According to recent research, it has been responsible for creating 80 percent of the world’s gold. I suspect that the next six or seven months will feature a metaphorically analogous process in your life. You will experience deep-seated quivering and grinding that won’t bring major disruptions even as it generates the equivalent of gold deposits. Make it your goal to welcome and even thrive on the subterranean friction!

CANCER

LIBRA

(June 21 - July 22): Here’s the process I went through to create your horoscope. First I drew up a chart of your astrological aspects. Using my analytical skills, I pondered their meaning. Next, I called on my intuitive powers, asking my unconscious mind to provide symbols that would be useful to you. The response I got from my deeper mind was surprising: It informed me that I should go to a new café that had just opened downtown. Ten minutes later, I was there, gazing at a menu packed with exotic treats: Banana Flirty Milk … Champagne Coconut Mango Slushy … Honey Dew Jelly Juice … Creamy Wild Berry Blitz … Sweet Dreamy Ginger Snow. I suspect these are metaphors for experiences that are coming your way.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): In the mid-19th century, an American named Cyrus McCormick patented a breakthrough that had the potential to revolutionize agriculture. It was a mechanical reaper that harvested crops with far more ease and efficiency than handheld sickles and scythes. But his innovation didn’t enter into mainstream use for 20 years. In part that was because many farmers were skeptical of trying a new technology, and feared it would eliminate jobs.

I don’t foresee you having to wait nearly as long for acceptance of your new wrinkles, Libra. But you may have to be patient.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): The Beatles’ song “You Never Give Me Your Money” has this poignant lyric: “Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go.” I suggest you make it your motto for now. And if you have not yet begun to feel the allure of that sentiment, initiate the necessary shifts to get yourself in the mood. Why? Because it’s time to recharge your spiritual battery, and the best way to do that is to immerse yourself in the mystery of having nothing to do and nowhere to go. Put your faith in the pregnant silence, Leo. Let emptiness teach you what you need to know next.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Should a professional singer be criticized for her lack of skill in laying bricks? Is it reasonable to chide a kindergarten teacher for his ineptitude as an airplane pilot? Does it make sense to complain about a cat’s inability to bark? Of course not.

There are many other unwarranted comparisons that are almost as irrational but not as obviously unfair.

Is it right for you to wish your current lover or best friend could have the same je ne sais quoi as a previous lover or best friend? Should you try to manipulate the future so that it’s more like the past? Are you justified in demanding that your head and your heart come to identical conclusions? No, no, and no. Allow the differences to be differences. And more than that: Celebrate them!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Is it possible to express a benevolent form of vanity? I say yes. In the coming weeks, your boasts may be quite lyrical and therapeutic. They may even uplift and motivate those who hear them.

Acts of self-aggrandizement that would normally cast long shadows might instead produce generous results.

That’s why I’m giving you a go-ahead to embody the following attitude from Nikki Giovanni’s poem “Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why)”: “I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal / I cannot be comprehended except by my permission.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Regard the current tensions and detours as camouflaged gifts from the gods of growth.

You’re being offered a potent opportunity to counteract the effects of a self-sabotage you committed once upon a time. You’re getting an excellent chance to develop the strength of character that can blossom from dealing with soul-bending riddles. In fact, I think you’d be wise to feel a surge of gratitude right now. To do so will empower you to take maximum advantage of the disguised blessings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): You are slipping into a phase when new teachers are likely to appear. That’s excellent news, because the coming weeks will also be a time when you especially need new teachings. Your good for-

tune doesn’t end there. I suspect that you will have an enhanced capacity to learn quickly and deeply. With all these factors conspiring in your favor, Capricorn, I predict that by January 1, you will be smarter, humbler, more flexible, and better prepared to get what you want in 2016.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): American author Mark Twain seemed to enjoy his disgust with the novels of Jane Austen, who died 18 years before he was born. “Her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy,” he said, even as he confessed that he had perused some of her work multiple times. “Every time I read Pride and Prejudice,” he wrote to a friend about Austen’s most famous story, “I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.” We might ask why he repetitively sought an experience that bothered him. I am posing a similar question to you, Aquarius. According to my analysis, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to renounce, once and for all, your association with anything or anyone you are addicted to disliking.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): The Sahara in Northern Africa is the largest hot desert on the planet. It’s almost the size of the United States. Cloud cover is rare, the humidity is low, and the temperature of the sand can easily exceed 170º F (80º C). That’s why it was so surprising when snow fell there in February 1979 for the first time in memory. This once-in-a-lifetime visitation happened again 33 years later. I’m expecting a similar anomaly in your world, Pisces. Like the desert snow, your version should be mostly interesting and only slightly inconvenient. It may even have an upside.

Saharan locals testified that the storm helped the palm trees because it killed off the parasites feeding on them.

energy use exceeds direct building energy use by more than 200 percent.

During the past few decades, tremendous effort has gone into making buildings more energy efficient but almost no energy to where we locate the buildings, especially in relation to where workers live. Building location, it turns out, has a huge impact on the total energy use.

Interestingly, some cities in Australia give tax incentives to businesses that hire workers who live within a mile of the workplace. This simple policy has changed the energy transportation factor significantly.

The above analysis argues strongly for increased emphasis on access to public transit, the walkability of neighborhoods, safe pathways for biking, and zoning changes that permit more mixed-use development. It is encouraging that millennials are starting to break the American love affair with the automobile by

intensity of a building (energy consumed per square foot per year) has been a useful calculation for evaluating and comparing buildings. Unfortunately, there is not a comparable metric for transportation use.

A close approximation can be created using federal government data on commuting workers: their average distance to work, mode of transportation (76 percent single-occupancy vehicle), average fuel economy of vehicles (21 mpg), and building square footage per office worker.

This data yields the average energy use for transportation for an office building per square foot of space.

Using these admittedly crude assumptions, office-building energy use for commuting averages 121 kBTU/sf/yr. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that the average energy intensity of office buildings is 93 kBTU/sf/yr.

november 5, 2015

he only disappointment I experienced when I visited 790 Mission Oaks Lane last Sunday was that I did not meet the resident cat. Pets are not usually prominent features at open houses, but this cat is noteworthy because he was a gift to the owners from Julia Child. Julia was a frequent visitor, cooking and dining alongside the home’s longtime owner and renowned chef, the late Don “Skip” Skipworth. When Julia passed away, Skip inherited her cat, Minou. Now that Skip has passed away, too, this residence—minus the cat—is on the market, looking for a new chef to enjoy the kitchen and the unique residence that it inhabits.

I’m not sure whether to wax more poetic about the exterior or interior of this magical Mission Canyon home.

Outdoors, I could have spent all afternoon sitting on the stone bench beside the koi pond, watching the colorful fish swim in the sunlight, and listening to the rush of the waterfall as I admired the central rose garden and the bamboo that surrounds and embraces the property. I learned later that Skip was an expert on bamboo, and there are over 35 different varieties used throughout the property’s thoughtful landscaping.

There are at least six different outside seating areas on multiple levels, and with varying views, taking advantage of the meandering pathways and lush plantings all over the property. One such area features a hot tub shaded by a pagoda, while another pagoda graces one of several outdoor living rooms. I was drawn magnetically from one level to the next, admiring the details everywhere I turned: garden statuary, tropical palms and ferns, beautiful wooden fencing, and custom lighting fixtures. However, as many details as I noticed, the overall impression is open, simple, and far from cluttered.

Not to be outdone, the interior is just as striking. Entering the main house, one is tempted up the custom mahogany and teak staircase constructed with mortise and tenon craftsmanship. The upstairs holds the master bedroom, bathroom, and an office overlooking the gardens. Back downstairs, there’s a great room encompassing a living and dining room in one grand expanse, with windows, skylights, and sliding doors bringing the greenery inside. On the other side of the wall is the most amazing kitchen you’ve ever seen. In 2007, the home underwent a major remodel, and Viking designed and sponsored the kitchen and culinary area as a teaching space for Skip.

He and his partner, Carlos, taught Pan-Asian and French cooking classes over the years for up-and-coming chefs and varied groups of students and friends. The house radiates a warmth reminiscent of the happy, nurturing times spent there.

In addition to the main house, there is a two-bedroom, two-bath guest house and a separate one-bedroom, one-bath “tea house.” The Asian influence is found throughout the entire property, with bamboo flooring, sliding shoji screens, and spare geometric lines. The whole place exudes an ambience of calm and serenity that I carried with me down the pathway, past the koi pond, and back out into the real world.

Elegant, single-level ocean view condo in mixed-use building conveniently located to shopping, transportation, restaurants and ocean. Impeccable upgrades throughout completed by current owner. High beamed ceilings, travertine flooring and fireplace. Spacious rooms. Large patio for entertaining. Two-car garage.

Elevator to unit for easy access. A rare offering.

Original Owner: H.G. Crane Year of Construction: 1875 Architect: Peter J. Barber (attributed)

realestate.independent.com

n the 1860s, the section of land encompassing the 1400 block of De la Vina Street belonged to J.E. Goux, a prominent merchant who was involved with many real estate transactions.

Between 1869 and 1886, the land ownership was held

by H.G. Crane, who was employed as a lawyer and a justice of the peace. During his tenure, it was believed that Crane retained the noted Santa Barbara architect Peter J. Barber to design and build a Victorian-Italianate-style home.

In the mid-1890s, the residence was purchased by the Hoover family, of which E.B. Hoover was principal of the Santa Barbara Business College, located at West Arrellaga and Anacapa streets.

In 1902, Mary Wright and her relatives acquired and converted the property into a boarding facility known as De la Vina House. As its popularity grew, the property became an informal gathering place for employees of the Flying A Studios, located a few blocks uptown on West Mission Street. Its most identifying feature is the “Flying A Boarding House” sign that hangs from the front porch.

The Wright family maintained the domicile until 1930, and various landlords have owned the De la Vina House since then, with each proprietor protecting the home’s original architectural character. A fire broke out in an apartment complex on the same lot in 2011 but did not affect the historic structure. Today, with 16 units inside, the De la Vina House continues to be one of the longest-operating apartment buildings in Santa Barbara.

lthough officially known as Arroyo Burro, this stretch of coastline between Hope Ranch and the Douglas Family Preserve has been called Hendry’s Beach for decades. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, William N. Hendry and family farmed in this area.

A native of Scotland, Hendry was 24 when he set sail for the U.S. out of Liverpool in 1872. It was not an easy passage. Rough seas, seasickness, theft, and fights among the crew and passengers were just some of the problems. Tragedy struck when a young girl stopped eating due to illness; she eventually died and was buried at sea.

After a journey of two months, Hendry arrived in Santa Barbara and went to work for Ellwood Cooper on his Goleta Valley ranch. Hendry worked from sunup to sunset, six to seven days a week. Entries in his journal often just read,“Ploughed all day.”

Eventually Hendry saved enough to lease a piece of ground of his own in an area now occupied by UCSB. In 1881, he married Annie Stronach, also a Scottish immigrant, and three years later he leased over 360 acres at Arroyo Burro, which included Veronica Springs and a good portion of Hope Ranch. Hendry primarily grew hay, oats, and barley, selling much of his yield to stables in Santa Barbara. He later diversified, with lima beans becoming an important crop. One year the family earned around $4,000 just from the bean crop alone.

The Hendrys had 12 children, and the latter often invited friends to swim off the beach at the mouth of the creek; gradually the beach became known as Hendry’s to locals. Around the turn of the century, where the Douglas Family Preserve is today, Chinese farmers raised watermelons.

Hendry retired in 1914, and four years later he sold the farm for $80,000, as his children did not follow their father’s footsteps into farming. The family moved into town to a house at 509 Chapala Street.

A number of William and Annie Hendry’s sons had gone into the blacksmith trade. In 1906, son William bought the business of Harry Hawcroft at 20 West Cota Street, moving it to 25 West Cota in 1915. Eventually four brothers worked in the shop: William, Allan, Bruce, and Nicol. Nicol moved on to start his own blacksmith and machine shop. Another brother, Walter, became a carpenter in Santa Barbara.

Hendry Bros. was a fixture in Santa Barbara until the shop closed its doors for good in 1975. During its run of close to 70 years, the firm adapted to the transition from horse and buggy to automobile as it went from making farm tools, brands, and wagon wheels to fashioning auto and truck springs. Ornamental ironwork also became a lucrative specialty. Among their customers were the Loughhead (Lockheed) brothers, founders of the aviation firm.

As for the beach, 30 years of sporadic negotiations with the county came to an end in 1947. For $15,000, Santa Barbara County purchased, with state help, five and a half acres with 500 feet of oceanfront at the mouth of Arroyo Burro Creek for a park. An additional 100 feet of beach was deeded over to the county as a gift.

Today, Arroyo Burro County Park, aka, Hendry’s Beach, is one of the most popular beaches on the South Coast.
