Murder City

January Killings in Santa Maria Unprecedented

THE INDEPENDENT

pau l wel lm an Fi l e photo

I

by K e l s e y B r u g g e r n just last month, Santa Maria saw more murders than all the cities of Oakland, Sacramento, and San Jose combined. On January 25, Carlos Perez, 14, and Israel Cruz, 19, were found hiding in a dried-out patch of the riverbed after allegedly killing 15-year-old Marcos Ramos with a meat hook near Pioneer Valley High School. Just before 10 p.m. that night, a few blocks away, two men riding in a car were shot to death. On January 13, two 23-year-olds were shot on the corner of Main Street and Oakley Avenue. One was pronounced dead at the scene; the other died at the hospital.

Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin, who came from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 2012 to take over a divided department, called the recent killings “unprecedented,” and the gang-related crime in the past year “a huge uptick.” In recent years, the city of about 110,000 people averaged three to four gang-related murders, but the January deaths marked the 14th gang-related homicide and 19th death since the start of 2015. Since then, just Perez and Cruz have been arrested; the rest are open investigations.

Last week, Martin’s officers initiated a lowprofile gang sweep, also known as a “compliance check.” Teams of law enforcement officers looked up parolees and arrested five people. Up to 1,400 gang members or associates live in Santa Maria, according to police.

Only five arrests were made.

It is impossible to overstate the magnitude of the recent carnage. The weapons of choice run the gamut—machetes, knives, guns. The reasons for the spike are not largely under-

Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin

stood. Unlike most cities, two established street gangs — West Park and Northwest — operate in undefined territories. They are intermingled; sometimes members of opposing gangs live on the same street. When city officials looked into implementing a gang injunction a number of years ago, there were multiple street gangs, and the geographic areas were even more unclear.“It doesn’t work at all,” city spokesperson Mark Van de Kamp said of an injunction.

It is no secret that if the city of Santa Barbara experienced gang crime of a similar magnitude, the citizenry would be up in arms, demanding action. After all, fewer murders ignited the three-year legal battle for a gang injunction, which a judge ultimately threw out.

So why the surge in Santa Maria now? Several sources not usually media shy offered educated speculation but asked that their names not be used. Below is a summation of their theories:

february 11, 2016

independent.com

Theory number one is that the violence stems out of a struggle between Los Angeles and Northern California gangs to control the drug trade in Santa Maria. Though the city is largely considered to be in Southern California, a dozen or so admitted Norteño gangmembers wind up in County Jail each year. Hundreds associated with the Sureños are booked each year. These numbers have stayed the same in recent years.

Most gang violence tends to occur on the city’s northwest side, where overcrowded, rundown apartments generate more crime and more calls for service. But of late, other random parts of the city have been crime scenes, as well. Theory two suggests the bloodshed erupted out of those conditions.

In addition, the two street gangs exist in cyclical retaliation.

Theory three says the violence isn’t that unusual. Last year was also an anomaly in homicides for Bakersfield, Oxnard, and Salinas. A Salinas police spokesperson said multiple-death incidents contributed to an increase as well as a surge in domestic violence.

Santa Maria has seen an increase in heroin overdoses in the past year, police say, a noticeable addition to cocaine and meth.

Whatever the explanation is, getting witness accounts proves difficult. A distrust of the system is especially pervasive in Santa Maria’s lower socioeconomic Latino families.

Undocumented people might fear going to the police to report crime.“I understand that,” Martin said. People can remain anonymous, he said. Last week, Martin went before the city council to plead with the community for cooperation. City officials have put in 10 or so cameras; they plan to add 30 more.

Peter Flores of One Community Action, an outreach group, said the elephant in the room is hatred. “When you see things [online] like, ‘Just let them kill themselves’ … When you say ‘they’ and ‘them,’” he said, “that’s us; that’s our community. There is something to be said about discrimination.” One law enforcement official agreed that sentiment exists.

When asked if some kids have a choice in joining gangs or if they must join, Flores said the issue is complex. “It’s obviously very hard being brought up in that environment to get out of it,” he said.

“Kids want barriers,” said Gabriel Morales, who has worked with underrepresented youth for three decades. “They want direction.” He just learned with dismay the city no longer has a youth commission.

Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino — who grew up in Santa Maria the son of the city’s mayor — expressed anguish and shock over the murders. He married a Latina whose mother worked in the fields; she has nine brothers and sisters.“Every single one of those kids is a productive member [of society],” he said. “There are people all over that area that went on to do great things. I don’t know where that’s gone or what’s happened.”

To the degree Santa Maria is segregated, he said, does not explain the explosion of violence. Seventy-two percent of his district is Hispanic. “Right now I’m concerned about two things: suppression and, number two, the long-term outlook on what is going on with n our families,” he said.

After three months of trial and just two days of jury deliberation, Eastside gang members Joseph Castro (top) and Isaac Jimenez (bottom) were found guilty this week of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Ventura gang member Kelly Hunt in 2013.

They were also convicted of conspiracy and lying in wait, and will be sentenced to life in prison without parole, pending any appeals.

“I truly believe justice was served,” said prosecutor Kim Siegel. “Everything we saw showed this was a gang murder planned in advance,” said Detective Brian Larson. Read more at independent.com.

After his single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza airplane lost power mid-takeoff from the Santa Barbara Airport, a Goleta-based pilot made a solo emergency landing at the edge of the Goleta Slough on the evening of 2/8. He glided onto a brush-covered area and walked away with minor lower-back pain. The six-seater aircraft came to rest on land with its fuel storage intact. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the accident.

Three teenagers were arrested in connection with a 1/28 Isla Vista robbery. UCSB student Carissa Garcia and Palm Springs resident Kenyatta White, both 19, allegedly entered an apartment on the corner of Madrid and Camino Pescadero, got into a verbal altercation with the residents, and demanded property. White allegedly attacked one victim with a baseball bat before fleeing the scene. A third suspect, 18-year-old UCSB freshman Breanna Kromer, was reportedly waiting in the car. Sheriff’s deputies arrested Kromer and Garcia; two days later they arrested White and a 17-yearold male whose involvement is unclear. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for 2/24.

To date there’s no evidence that the two mosquito species that carry the Zika virus have been found in Santa Barbara County, but Mosquito and Vector Management chief David Chang said it’s only a matter of time before they arrive. Chang said the closest either of the two Aedes species —​ aegypti and albopictus​— have been found is Los Angeles and Kern counties. “We expect them to get here,” he said. “It’s serious.”

Two years ago, Chang’s department put out traps that came up negative. In about two Aedes aegypti female mosquito weeks, he said, his agency will set out double the number. The Aedes mosquitos are small, dark, and marked by white stripes. They’re more aggressive than indigenous mosquitoes and bite all day long, not just at dawn and dusk. A.​aegypti in particular, Chang said, targets humans as its prime source of food. As a peri-domestic species, the bug thrives in densely packed populations and in hotter, wetter tropical climates. This poses new challenges given that the Mosquito and Vector Management District traditionally targets pests found on the outskirts of human populations. “We’re going to have to be getting into neighborhoods,” Chang explained, “and in the cities.”

Chang said his agency traps most mosquitoes using dry-ice baits, which give off carbon dioxide that mimics human breath. These two, he said, are more drawn to bait that mimics human scent. Eradication procedures for the two new species will be identical to that of other mosquitoes. Residents will be asked to drain fountains and bird baths. The district will pass out, as it always does, mosquito fish.

Several of the fabled More Mesa beach caves collapsed this weekend, ending neighborhood concern over the late-night bonfire spots. Upon discovering the cave-ins on 2/6, firefighters used sound devices and probing cameras to search the area but found no one trapped or injured beneath the rocks. But, they said, the bluffs remain very dangerous. In 2014, an 18-year-old UCSB student suffered head and chest injuries when a cave partially collapsed above his group of friends. In 1989, 17-year-old Hugo Cruz of Goleta was killed in a sudden collapse.

Tobacco prevention efforts are weak in Santa Barbara County, according to the American Lung Association’s (ALA) annual report. Santa Barbara and Buellton were given overall tobacco control grades of “D,” while Guadalupe, Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Solvang each received an “F.” Goleta earned a “C,” Carpinteria and unincorporated county areas a “B.” The rankings are based on the ALA’s evaluation of municipal laws.

COuNty Unseasonable warm weather blanketed Southern California this week, producing a record high in Santa Barbara. At Santa Barbara Airport on Sunday and Monday, the highs got within a few degrees of the 1956 record of 84.

Then Tuesday, the afternoon high at the same location hit 85 degrees, two degrees hotter than the record set in 2006. Unofficially, temperatures peaked in the upper 80s downtown.

On the wet side, since the start of the 2016 water year — which runs September 1, 2015, to August 31, 2016 — downtown has received a trace over seven inches of rain, about 70 percent of normal.

In response to accusations that representatives of Plains All American Pipeline — the

giant oil company responsible for the Refugio Oil Spill — overstepped their bounds during the cleanup, the Santa Barbara Grand Jury found they were in compliance with federal, state, and local laws. In its four-page report, the Grand Jury dismissed allegations Plains unduly “took over” the county’s Emergency Operations Center.“The Jury learned that in this case, the County EOC was acting as a ‘landlord’ to the Unified Command that was formed in response to the oil spill,” the report stated. Meanwhile, the department’s director, Ryan Rockabrand, is leaving the county this month.

TALKING POINTS: Congressional candidates Matt Kokkonen (R) and Helene Schneider (D) debate at Cal Poly.

a they’re off and First Congressional Debate a Lively One

I

by K e l s e y B r u g g e r n the highly anticipated first debate in the Central Coast’s wide-open congressional race, moderator Randol White with KCBX aptly summed up the evening in his closing remarks: “It’s a crowded table.”

Vying to replace Congressmember Lois Capps, who has held the seat for nearly two decades, nine candidates separated themselves mostly along party lines while injecting healthy doses of their personalities to a packed auditorium on Thursday at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.

The four front-runners — Democrats Salud Carbajal and Helene Schneider and Republicans Katcho Achadjian and Justin Fareed—rarely deviated from their respective blue-red talking points. The district, comprising San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and a sliver of Ventura counties, is one of the most competitive in the state—with just 3.4 percent more registered Democrats than Republicans.

The event initially ran like a forum, with participants allowed 90 seconds to answer four questions drafted by Cal Poly’s political science department. The other five candidates — Steve Isakson, Jeff Oshins, Bill Ostrander, John Uebersax, and Matt Kokkonen — proved more willing to interrupt the rigid format.

Oshins — frank, funny, and unassuming—snapped at his conservative counterparts at the table: “I want to ask you if you are going to sign [Grover Norquist’s anti-tax pledge].” Achadjian rebutted: “Are we going to stick to the questions we have, or are we going to get [off topic]?” White, who seesawed between reeling the candidates in and letting them run wild, agreed to stick to the prescribed questions.

In that vein, Carbajal and Schneider — Santa Barbara county supervisor and city mayor, respectively — sounded remarkably similar on nearly every issue: college loans, minimum wage, the Affordable Care Act, Big independent.com

Pharma, climate change, etc.

When asked about the federal government’s role to improve higher education, both proposed the same list of solutions (albeit in a different order): reduce student debt, increase federal loans and grants, and support President Barack Obama’s plan for free two-year community college.

Schneider added combating sexual assault.

She mentioned the state’s new “Yes Means Yes” law, authored by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, who is her key local endorsement.

Schneider said her experiences working in human resources at Planned Parenthood and as mayor would be useful on the federal level.

Early on, Schneider sought to distinguish herself as the only woman at the table. “I am not a yes man,” she said. Her royal blue jacket stood out next to the line of men in gray and black suits.

Carbajal, who leads the pack in terms of fundraising and Democratic endorsements, told the crowd his father was a farmworker in Oxnard. He was the first in his family to go to a four-year university and is now a father of two. “I know what it’s like to cobble up resources,” he said. “The two most pressing challenges [in higher education] are accessibility and affordability.”

Ostrander — the self-proclaimed campaign-finance crusader — asked the audience, “How many people think there is too much money in politics?” Lots of hands went up. He pulled out his iPhone, took a photo of the crowd, and promised to give the picture to whoever wins the election. He deemed reforming political fundraising as the easy fix to end gridlock in Washington: “Most of us are wired to be in the center,” he said.“Take the money out of it, and you will not have the polarity.” Ostrander made a point to stand up from the table when he spoke: “I feel more comfortable,” he said.

Achadjian, who represents San Luis Obispo in the State Assembly, meanwhile, appeared less than enthused. Putting on reading glasses, he simcont’d page 13 

UNITY: Teachers stood up as Karen McBride delivered the union’s comments on curriculum control.

Curriculum Control

Troubled and overworked by what they are calling disjointed resources and a lack of structure in carrying out national educational standards, upward of 100 Santa Barbara Unified School District teachers turned out at Tuesday night’s board meeting to request that the district reinstate the monthly Curriculum Council teacher meetings that were eliminated during 2007’s budget crunch.

Teachers in the packed boardroom stood up as Karen McBride, an 8th-grade social studies teacher and chair of the Santa Barbara Teachers Association organizing team, delivered the union’s one-page resolution. “Teachers must have a voice in curriculum and resources,” she read before running through a list of concerns, including poor prioritizing on the district’s part and that teachers, without foundational support, often spend personal time and money developing disparate lesson plans. A reestablishment of Curriculum Council, teachers contend, would help them pilot and vet teaching material and essentially operate from the same wheelhouse district-wide. As McBride’s testimony was delivered during a general public-comment period and not as an agendized item, boardmembers were not required to respond. They didn’t.

The district and the union continue to lock horns over salaries as collective bargaining has again reached an impasse. Negotiations were bound for a stateappointed mediator last month, but the Public Employment Relations Board instead sent both sides back to the table. After another brief round, the union again declared an impasse, on February 2, when the district stood by its offer to bump salaries 2 percent retroactively and another 2 percent this coming July. The union wants a 6 percent raise, retroactive to July 1, 2015. Both sides did agree to tentative language that brings more fairness and confidentially to a special account to help — Keith Hamm teachers on catastrophic sick leave.

Mtd’s Mardi gras Blues

Most of the Metropolitan Transit District (MTD) Board of Directors and staff assembled this Tuesday with Mardi Gras beads wrapped around their necks in honor of the legendary New Orleans celebration of “Fat Tuesday,” the day before practicing Catholics give up something they cherish for Lent. In this case, the MTD boardmembers were notified they’d have to make do with a $460,000 (or 9.5 percent) drop in fare box revenues over the last year, reflecting a decline in bus trips by half a million.

In the weeks to come, the MTD board will do some serious soul searching — what bus lines might get more frequent service and which ones could be reduced. One boardmember, Bill Shelor, hinted about the possibility of a fare increase, asking how many riders MTD lost the last time fares went up. The answer is not that many, ridership being what economists call “inelastic.” But boardmember Roger Aceves objected it was too soon to start talking about fare hikes.

MTD’s drop in ridership mirrors what’s happening throughout Southern California. As gas prices have dropped, ridership has, too, while motor vehicle registration increased. (In the wake of AB 60, 636,000 immigrants have secured driver’s licenses; a rough estimate for Santa Barbara County is 6,360.) With the county’s median home sale price increasing 50 percent since 2010, a number of low-income families have migrated out of the South Coast, where the total number of households dropped by 1,400. Enrollments at English-language schools have declined 19-25 percent as the euro fell in value against the American dollar. Their students rely on mass transit so heavily that MTD planners estimate that decline alone accounted for 23 percent of the dip in ridership.

Boardmember Olivia Rodriguez wondered whether mass transit systems could still meet the needs of people who increasingly had to be many places the same day. “People have life changes,” she noted, expressing doubt whether the cause of the decline could ever be understood. “How do we measure some of this stuff?” Such angst notwithstanding, the MTD board will spend the next two months eyeballing —Nick Welsh these big-picture questions. .

bus of Santa Barbara environmentalists traveled to San Luis Obispo on Thursday to oppose the controversial Phillips 66 rail spur project.

For two days, they joined hundreds of activists who packed S.L.O.’s government center, spilling into overflow rooms and staging protests out front.

Protesters from all over California urged the San Luis Obispo Planning Commission to uphold its staff’s recommendation to deny the project—a modification to the existing rail spur at the Nipomo refinery to allow for the unloading of crude oil. The project was proposed in summer 2013 and has since gone through exhaustive environmental review. So far, nearly 25,000 written comments have been submitted. Of those, just 150 support the project.

Two days before the hearing, Phillips 66 attorneys proposed to reduce the number of trains unloaded per week from five to three (from 250 trains per year to 150). This would decrease air emissions and lower the cancer risk to just below S.L.O.’s Air Pollution Control District’s threshold, according to county staff. Phillips 66 attorneys argued federal regulators oversee “robust enforcement” of laws pertaining to a host of locomotive issues. Phillips also contended the oil is heavy crude, not light crude associated with past high-profile accidents.

But attorneys with the Environmental Defense Center (EDC) tore apart the project piece by piece. “Attorneys and scientists have analyzed this project, and in each case our conclusions were the same. The project must be denied,” Owen Bailey, EDC’s executive director, said. “We have an opportunity

to say no.” S.L.O. county planners found the project’s benefits do not outweigh its environmental impacts. Further, they found, the project is inconsistent with land-use ordinances and coastal plan policies, and the final environmental review found negative effects to air quality, biological resources, and water resources.

In the minority, a number of automotive industry workers supported the project. Mike Brown, former Santa Barbara County CEO and current COLAB representative, said the Public Resources Code allows the commission to approve a project even if there are large, unmitigated problems. “We all have a responsibility to support industry processes to support our standard of living,” he said.

A third hearing date for continued public testimony and staff presentations was scheduled for February 25, though the commission is expected to continue the meeting to n March 11.

by t y l e r h ay d e N immering tensions between Santa Barbara environmentalists and county waste managers jumped a few degrees this week with dueling letters exchanged on a $110 million proposal to extend the Tajiguas Landfill’s lifespan. The Community Environmental Council (CEC) wrote that the current plan for a materials recovery facility (MRF) and anaerobic digester—which would extract recyclables and compostable material from the waste stream and capture methane to generate electricity—will cost around $50 million more than it should, is based on soon-to-be-outdated technology, and was put in the hands of an untested and unreliable developer.

Three years ago, CEC director Sigrid Wright noted in her January 28 letter, the county hired San Luis Obispo–based Mustang Renewable Power Ventures with an agreement Mustang would secure private financing to construct the facilities. That hasn’t happened, and Mustang—newcomers to the waste-management game—is now seeking public financing, which is “a major red flag,” Wright said. In a later interview, Wright explained the CEC doesn’t want to derail the entire project but wants the landfill-using county and cities to slow down and take another hard look at the project before

final approval. She said she’s somewhat surprised that didn’t happen sooner. “We really thought common sense would prevail somewhere along the line.”

In response, Mark Schleich, deputy director of County Public Works, stated the county’s direction is based on nine years of research and due diligence—not to mention 139 public presentations and more than halfa-dozen site reviews of other dumps—and that third-party experts concur with the technology choices and pricing models.

Schleich said it isn’t true Mustang couldn’t assemble private financing—the choice to go public “was solely based on a desire of public jurisdictions to minimize costs to ratepayers.” It currently costs $84 per ton to dump at Tajiguas. County staff and Mustang initially hashed out a deal that would bring the fee to $146 per ton, but with public financing, Schleich said, that figure will drop to $116. During previous meetings, project critics complained that amount greatly exceeds what most California dumps charge.

Schleich expressed a desire to continue conversations with the CEC and others about the project, stressing the importance of transparency and public involvement throughout the process. He said the supervisors will take n up the issue sometime before May.

Capping off two years of debate over the intrusively loud — and occasionally violent — behavior of SBCC students on the Mesa and lower Westside, the City Council voted Tuesday to amend its residential noise ordinance with stricter terms and steeper fines.

The new rules were crafted by the SBCC Neighborhood Task Force after a similar San Luis Obispo County ordinance that successfully reduced Cal Poly–related complaints by nearly a third.

Noise disturbances are now defined as any sound audible more than 50 feet from the source that travels across property lines between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., city staff explained. Those sources could be televisions, speakers, instruments, or even pets.

Offenders could get a warning or fine of up to $350 for the first violation. The second would be $750 and the third $1,000. The Task Force was motivated by a desire to not criminalize offenders with misdemeanors, so the fines will be administrative, though public-nuisance charges could be pursued, City Attorney Ariel Calonne said.

Neighbors expressed gratitude that after so much sweat to get them written, the ordinance amendments were finally on the books. An SBCC spokesperson offered the school’s support for the new rules, as did a manager of Beach City, the massive student housing complex on Cliff Drive. Lower Westside resident Beebe Longstreet was similarly pleased but lamented how much her neighborhood has changed over the last 30 years. “It’s a transient population,” she said. “When you know your neighbors over several years, you respect each other. When it changes every six months, it’s really hard.”

Two SBCC students, Emily Gribble and Lexi Valas, both members of the school’s Student Senate, told the council the new fines were “absurdly” steep for “playing music at 10:30 on a Saturday night.” Gribble asked the councilmembers to reflect on their college days and suggested, “There is just a lack of communication between students and families.” Valas said she and others were unaware noise-ordinance discussions were even taking place before this week’s vote.

A few speakers — and some councilmembers — suggested the law could expand to other parts of the city, including Elings Park and the State Street corridor. But for now, — Tyler Hayden they agreed, the neighborhoods deserved the attention.

HUNGRY: Pacific Pride Executive Director Colette Schabram stands in the food pantry that will soon be closed due to budget cuts.

Pride Cutting services

T

by N i C K W e l s h he Pacific Pride Foundation announced it will be cutting its case management program for people with HIV and the two countywide food pantries they use to obtain healthy meals once a week free of charge. The two programs combined cost $920,000 a year; of Santa Barbara’s 500 HIV patients, about 200 are signed up. No date has been set for the cessation of these services; the plan is for Santa Barbara County Public Health to take over Pacific Pride’s caseload as seamlessly as possible.

Given that Pacific Pride employs four case workers and one nurse, it’s expected Public Health will need to hire new employees.

HIV centers throughout the United States have been struggling financially in recent years. For Pacific Pride, the trouble started in 2009 when its federal funding — through the Office of AIDS — was cut by $700,000.

Subsequent years were marked by smaller but consistent cuts, as well, said Pacific Pride Executive Director Colette Schabram, while

the price of doing business increased. Going into this year, Pacific Pride was staring at a $200,000 shortfall for the two programs. On top of that, the Office of AIDS sharply shifted its funding priorities, declaring prevention and early treatment most urgent. And with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, more people previously uninsured are now covered. In this new context, organizations like Pacific Pride are no longer considered the most direct source of info about new HIV patients; traditional doctors are.

Since 2012, the number of new HIV cases jumped around from 17 to 8 to 15. No numbers for 2015 are available. Schabram said there’s been a spike in HIV cases among people ages 18-24. Pacific Pride, she said, will still be involved in education and prevention efforts, citing the availability of drugs known as “pre-exposure prophylactics” that prevent the spread of HIV 90-95 percent of the time when infected individuals engage in unpron tected sex.

ply read from notes several times during the two-hour event. He acknowledged he was a little “wobbly,” as he arrived just an hour before the debate after driving from Sacramento. (Achadjian, who owns several gas stations in the area, has pointed to his busy assembly schedule as the reason he lags in campaign fundraising.)

Still, Achadjian’s home-court advantage was clear. When asked if he wanted to rebut Ostrander’s assertion that health care should be a right —“not a privilege”— he said, “No, I want to give him my applause for pronouncing my name correctly.” The audience laughed.

The crowd booed, however, after Republican Kokkonen said the United States has the best and most sophisticated medical care in the world. Defensively, he said, “I stand by that.” Kokkonen, a San Luis Obispo–based financial adviser who emigrated from Finland in 1945, has run a number of times for federal and state offices.

For the most part, Republican Fareed — a young, ambitious, second-time congressional candidate — stuck to his narrative. “I’m running for congress because career politicians have broken this political system,” he said, “and it doesn’t work for you.” He worked as independent.com

an aide for Kentucky Congressmember Ed Whitfield from 2012-2013.

Fareed, who works for his family’s Montecito sports medical device business, noted more than once he wanted to “reduce the bloated size of government.”“I’ve seen regulation … that made it difficult for businesses like ours to survive, let alone thrive,” he said.

He proposed to “get bureaucrats out of the way” to promote business owners. “When they succeed, we succeed,” he said.

Ostrander swung back: “That is the Republican playbook we’ve heard for the last 34 years, and it has not worked very well, has it?” Fareed and Ostrander also got into a testy back-and-forth over the Affordable Care Act, which Fareed called “the largest federal boondoggle,” adding, “Most people literally passed it without reading it,” he said.

Oshins got the last word, standing up and walking to the front of the table. “Students, I’m doing this for you guys.” He promised to organize meet-ups for parents about loan debt and to keep talking until the issue takes off.

The group is expected to debate again soon; exactly when and where has not been decided. n

CUT TWICE, MEASURE ONCE: It couldn’t

have been a simpler question. The answer was anything but. Little wonder. The county’s everembroiled Department of Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) was involved.

It was late Tuesday afternoon, and County Supervisor Steve Lavagnino was asking ADMHS czar Alice Gleghorn why she could not state with certainty how many “faceto-face appointments” her staff clinicians schedule per day with those in need. Gleghorn, tough and gruff, was hired a year ago to impose order on a department mired in chaos. Gleghorn’s answer? She’s “working on it.”

Just a few minutes earlier, the supervisors officially rechristened Gleghorn’s shop the “Department of Behavioral Wellness.” The name change emerged out of a yearlong, topto-bottom, $100,000 “rebranding” effort conducted by Idea Engineering, a private consulting firm. The hope is to boost morale among the department’s 377 employees, shed negative baggage that’s long dogged the department, and project the warm, caring competence its 15,000 desperate clients —both addicts and the mentally ill —long to experience.

Many mental-health advocates take a dim view. One described the new name as “a merengue” designed to euphonize the harsh realities of mental illness and addiction, thus adding to the stigma. Others objected the

new name projects a happy-faced optimism that masks a blame-the-victim mindset; if only those in need “behaved” better, they’d get well.

Personally, when I hear words like “rebranding,” I reach for my gun. But as bureaucratic acronyms go, I also have to admit ADMHS is a mouthful of broken teeth.

Maybe the new name will give the department a regenerative jolt of “fake-it-’til-you make it” therapy. Or perhaps another effort at slathering lipstick onto the face of a recalcitrant pig. Time, presumably, will tell. Or not.

In the meantime, the county supes want Gleghorn to report to them twice a year with a short list of crucial “metrics” showing whether the multimillion-dollar, threeyear effort — dubbed “Systems Change”— to reform the department actually translates to improved care. It’s a good idea, hatched by area mental-health agitators. They wanted to know how many mentally ill wind up in county jail, how many get stockpiled in emergency rooms, how many get shipped out of county for hospitalization, and how long it takes them to be seen by a psychiatrist. This Tuesday, Gleghorn came back with a list of 14 metrics of her own, which — with a few tweaks — got the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval from the supes and all assembled.

As for Lavagnino’s question, the search for answers highlights serious tensions within the department — whatever it’s called — that threaten to undermine any effort to make things better. For example, there’s an ADMHS internal document produced last December

concluding that the average county shrink sees on average only 4.1 patients a day. On its face, that seems an astonishing number.

Sansum’s shrinks see nearly three times that many, but their patients are not nearly so distressed. Other county mental-health departments — that serve comparably challenged populations — reportedly see 8. When asked about this, Gleghorn said a more accurate number is closer to 6.

In recent negotiations between the union representing county shrinks, doctors, and dentists, this issue became a serious bone of contention. County negotiators pushed for increased productivity; the shrinks objected they were not widgets and that patient-perday stats were inherently meaningless given the very different assignments — clinic hours, crisis care, team treatments, and hospital rounds — county psychiatrists routinely handled. Ultimately a contract was approved giving ADMHS administrators unilateral authority to set productivity guidelines at a later date. This contract was approved last fall over the strenuous objection by the county shrinks, but they were outnumbered by doctors and dentists working for the Public Health Department for whom such targets were not so inflammatory.

Last October, 12 county shrinks signed a blistering letter and mailed it to the Mental Health Commission accusing ADMHS leadership of bad planning and bad faith, leading to bad blood, bad morale, and high turnover. The shrinks’ metric of choice was the loss — by resignation, retirement, or transfer — of 10 psychiatrists in the past 12

months. For a department budgeted to have 21, that seems like a lot. Even so, the department’s own numbers indicate only 77 percent of the authorized psychiatric positions are “occupied.”And of the five private shrinks the county had hired on a contract-out basis, one is now on the job. Department officials say it was only nine and that six new psychiatrists have since been hired. And the shrink shortage, they note, is a nationwide problem.

It’s pretty typical for such Joe Hill gripes to emerge during collective bargaining.

What’s most striking is that one of the letter’s signatories was Leslie Lundt, then medical director of the county’s 16-bed psychiatric hospital. That would put Lundt squarely in the executive administrative class. Since then, it’s worth noting that Lundt was rewarded with a job promotion and a $25,000-a-year raise.

Lundt’s schedule was sufficiently slammed, she said, so she didn’t have time to comment. The other shrinks I contacted declined to comment, saying they feared retaliation.

The metric I have heard from Lundt, however, is that a county Santa Barbara’s size needs a psychiatric hospital — for people at danger to themselves or others—with at least 40 beds. To the extent ADMHS is growing faster than 0any county department in terms of costs—by 139 percent over the last 14 years—it’s because Lundt is forced to ship our acutely ill patients to out-of-county facilities.

But that’s an old story, one dating back at least 40 years. Why nothing has been changed in all that time remains the simplest of questions. But the answer, as always, is anything but.

Rasmussen, passed 02/02/16; 85, Petaluma, CA. Suzanne R. McKay, 03/19/2302/08/16; 92, Santa Barbara, CA.

Nancy Elizabeth May de L’Arbre passed away peacefully on January 26, 2016. She was born on November 3, 1923, in Pasadena, California, to Ernest Crawford May and Margaret Mortenson May. She was educated at Westridge and Polytechnic Schools in Pasadena before graduating from Katherine Branson School in Ross, California. She obtained her BA in fine arts from Mills College and a graduate degree from the California Institute of Fine Arts.

In 1951, she married Albert (Bertie) de L’Arbre d’Estaing with whom she had three fine sons, Charles, Frederick and David. Bertie was the owner of Santa Barbara Travel Bureau, and he and Nancy traveled the world together. But Nancy’s true travel passion was always for the outdoors. She loved to hike and camp and was a lifelong member of the Sierra Club.

She hiked the Sespe, Santa Paula Gorge, Manzana River, and the Sierras. She was great friends with Dick Smith, Rod Nash and many other Santa Barbara conservationists and outdoorsmen. And Nancy was a committed environmentalist before that term was fashionable. She cleaned birds and beaches in the 1969 Platform A disaster and rafted down the Stanislaus River to protest the building of the New Melones Dam. She cleaned up remote campsites and packed out trash. She cut and maintained trails in the Santa Barbara backcountry. She was a donor to the Nature Conservancy and keenly aware of the need to protect open space from development.

Nancy was also a passionate artist and was always learning new techniques and mediums.

She was an accomplished sketch artist in pencil, and her diaries contain both the verbal and visual accounts of her travels.

She loved to work with natural materials and cast-offs, which led her on an odyssey across the

western United States, digging through dumps and searching for artifacts. Her antique bottle collection was inspiring. She could envision art from items that no one else could possibly conceive – carbon battery cores, fish vertebrae, antique square nails, bottle stoppers, pine cones, seed pods, stones and just about anything else one could imagine.

She had diamond saws, tumblers, polishers, bellows, wood tools, planes, draw knives, rasps, throw wheels, clay tools, kilns, blow torches, soldering irons, jeweler’s tools, needles and threads, and books on almost every art form that she worked on or was interested in. The depth and breadth of her artistic skills was truly remarkable.

Some of her artwork is on permanent display at Mills College.

Nancy was very involved in her community and was a member of the Junior League, attended services at All-Saintsby-the-Sea and, later in her life, at the Unitarian Society, where she did the flower arrangements.

She was an adamant supporter of Planned Parenthood and women’s rights. She supported several organizations, including the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, Santa Barbara Historical Society, the Museum of Natural History, and the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden and was a devoted member of the Garden Guild.

She was also a member of Pearl Chase’s Scorpio Club and was well-known as one of “Pearl’s Girls.”

Above all, Nancy was known for her extraordinary kindness, generosity and her love for her family. She was not only an inspiration for her children but in many respects was a second parent for her grandchildren, to whom she was completely devoted. She supported their educational needs and provided guidance and support whenever and wherever needed. She was always proud of their achievements and understanding of their shortfalls.

She is survived by her sons, Charles (Barbara), Fred (Theresa), and David (Liz); 7 grandchildren; her sister, Virginia; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to her caregivers, including her grandson, Philippe de L’Arbre, and the staff at Oak Cottage where she lived the last 6 months of her life.

A memorial service and celebration will be held on March 4, 2016 at 10am, at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara at 1535 Santa Barbara Street.

In lieu of flowers, memo-

rial gifts may be made to Santa Barbara Historical Museum, Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, or Planned Parenthood in Nancy’s name.

of Palo Alto, and Teddy King of Newport Beach, along with the children and grandchildren of his wife, Verna King. Paul and Verna were residents of the Valle Verde Retirement community in Santa Barbara, where they enjoyed the friendship of many fellow residents.

Jimmy Page 11/16/46-01/20/16

Paul Daniel King was born to Guy Le Ray and Margaret Honora Buckley King on February 18, 1928, in Portland, Oregon. He had an older sister and brother: Mary Patricia King and Thomas John King. In 1934, the family moved to Los Angeles to provide relief to his father’s health. Paul attended parochial school and Cathedral High School. He then enlisted in the U.S. Navy, and spent most of his Navy time in the Far East, China and Japan aboard the USS Chicago. Following discharge, he attended several colleges, graduating with honors from California State Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo in 1952.

His initial employment was in the Computer Department at Lockheed Aircraft, getting into the computer field in its early infancy. He was then employed by a number of computer firms in design and development of large-scale computers. During this time he was granted seven patents on computer design.

At this point, he shifted over to startup companies developing computer-based services involving international reservation services, and electronic banking.

In addition, he served as a consultant to several major financial institutions in the implementation of home banking and point of sale services. He spent the final 15 years at Citicorp, ultimately in the Corporate Technology Office overseeing the use of computers and telecommunications in the many Citicorp subsidiaries.

Paul King is survived by his wife, Verna M. King; his brother Thomas King; by children from a previous marriage, Paul King Jr. of Newport Beach, CA, Jonathan King of Venice, CA, and Stephanie King of Palo Alto, CA, and grandchildren Jonathan, Ginevra and Spencer Rojahn

In Loving Memory: James (Jimmy) Benson Page, formerly of Santa Barbara, passed away on January 20, 2016, in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he had had been living the past 20 years.

Jimmy was born on November 16, 1946, at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara. He was the son of the founder of Mission Linen Supply, Mr. George Benson Page, and his wife, Marian (Fahey) Page.

Jimmy attended Roosevelt Elementary School and Santa Barbara Junior and Senior high schools, graduating in 1965. On December 1, 1966, he joined the U.S. Army and completed his basic training at Fort Ord, California. He spent most of his military career in South Korea.

He graduated and obtained a business degree at Woodbury Business College in Los Angeles, California, and then went on to work in the family business of Mission Linen Supply, where he traveled extensively and loved walking through the locations and visiting with all the employees. In 1995 he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, and ran Mission Industries using the same guiding principles his father used.

He retired in 2011 when he sold Mission Industries.

He was a sun-loving energetic man who loved water sports and especially scuba diving, which he did in many countries all over the world. He kept his diving boat “Papillion” many years at the Santa Barbara harbor and spent every weekend he could with friends and family on it. He also had a house in

E

Homeless Rights Advocate, Street Person

streets and once a mainstay of the homeless rights community, died last Monday after crashing on his bike in “a freak, random accident,” said his attorney Robert Landheer. Mannon had bought the bike just hours before the crash and never woke up from his injuries. Had he lived, he would have turned 63 this week.

In person, Mannon was frequently loud, blustery, and relentlessly profane, carpet-bombing his conversations with multiple F-bombs. But lurking behind Mannon’s ever obstreperous and always outspoken façade was an acute intelligence and perceptive student of the political scene.

While Mannon’s closest friends conceded he was often a nuisance, they saw him more as a fiercely independent soul whose spirit could not be confined by standard guidelines.

“He was honest, loyal, and protective,” said Nancy McCradie, a longtime homeless advocate who met Mannon when she first hit the streets in 1980.“And that’s kind of rare.”

When homeless activism really took off in Santa Barbara during the mid-1980s, Mannon was at its epicenter. He was a fixture at the Legal Defense Center, which led the charge to secure for homeless people the right to register to vote even though they had no “fixed domicile,” as election law then required.

For many years, Mannon was a regular speaker at City Council meetings, inveighing against the campaign of harassment he charged the police were waging against the homeless. He had a keen eye for injustice, said Landheer, and was never one to look silently the other way. Mannon frequently hung out at the Moreton Bay Fig Tree by the railroad depot. When police were about to arrest or cite his friends, Mannon reportedly would unleash his pit bull, Spot, as a distraction.

Police returned the favor by “arresting” Spot for biting two men who Mannon insisted had tried to steal his radio.

Spot faced being euthanized because he had bitten before, but several prominent attorneys came to the dog’s defense.

The case became a cover story for the Wall Street Journal and garnered considerable national coverage, none of it to the city’s advantage. Ultimately Spot got a reprieve.

Mannon and his dogs again became the subject of media attention when one dog — Sarah — bit Brian Barnwell, then a city councilmember. Barnwell had been patrolling Eastside homeless camps, among them Mannon’s, with a local developer. Accounts vary, but at some point, Sarah, who had puppies, rushed Barnwell, and Barnwell kicked at Sarah.

The councilmember wound up with several bites in the exchange of legs and teeth, not to mention wounded pride.

Mannon sustained several blows by Barnwell, then wielding a folding chair, while trying to get his dogs under control. The camp would be razed.

Mannon was a child of privilege, his father a successful corporate attorney near Orinda, California. The oldest of six, Mannon was bedeviled by significant mental-health and behavioral challenges from an early age. Whatever Mannon’s diagnosis, McCradie said her friend — nicknamed “Crazy Ed” on the streets — experienced lifelong difficulties controlling his adrenaline. In hopes of getting treatment, his parents sent him to the Devereux school. After that, he would go back north to visit his family, but Santa Barbara became his home.

McCradie remembers Mannon as a talented musician who could play saxophone and clarinet. He took to hanging out at Folk Mote Music, soaking up everything he could learn about traditional Irish music. He took up guitar, though with his beat-up, weatherworn fingers, the instrument posed challenges. He enrolled in guitar classes at Adult Education, only to be told he needed to clean up to attend. Mannon did just that, even getting dentures.

STREETWISE: Honest, loyal, and something of a dichotomy, Ed Mannon championed homeless rights and became friends with Casa Esperanza critic Sharon Byrne. In the photo at right, he stands back row, left, celebrating the Legal Defense Center’s victory giving homeless people the right to vote even though they lacked a legal domicile.

Mannon, however, did not stay well scrubbed for long, squatting with friends and sleeping under bleachers by the zoo, on abandoned front porches, or in well-concealed encampments. He did not drink much, but he smoked copious quantities of marijuana. Along the way, he received many citations. In the 1980s, Mannon and attorney Landheer challenged the city’s illegal camping ordinance, availing themselves of the “necessity defense.” As long as the city’s shelters were full, they argued, and there was no place else for Mannon to go, City Hall could not legally ticket him for illegal camping. The trial jury in two Mannon cases wound up finding in his favor on one count and against him on the other. Regardless of the verdicts, Mannon remained uncompromisingly defiant of such rules to the very end.

Life on the streets is notoriously rough. At various times, Mannon packed a handgun, carried a 14-inch knife, or kept the company of loyal watchdogs. McCradie remembered Mannon once led about 30 street people armed with sticks to the home of a drug dealer, demanding that he return a camera he’d acquired from an addict who’d stolen it for drugs. The camera was returned without incident. For all his toughness and bluster, Mannon appears to have been stalked and beaten by a street person with whom he’d had a bad falling out. He once was beaten so badly an eyeball had to be stitched back into its socket. Mannon would not divulge the name of his assailant to the police and expressly forbade anyone else from doing so.

About three years ago, Mannon let it be known to Sharon Byrne of the Milpas Community Association that he wanted to come in from the cold. That the two were on speaking terms is remarkable. Byrne had led the effort to run homeless people like Mannon off the Cabrillo ball field, a popular

roosting spot. To the extent they spoke, it was when Mannon yelled at Byrne from across the street. By coincidence, the two adversaries share a birthday, and three years ago, Byrne made a point to give Mannon a piece of the cake her daughter had made. As the two talked, they discovered they shared similar personality traits — they were both headstrong, stubborn, and outspoken. Both were critical of how the Casa Esperanza shelter was run. While Mannon was a firebrand for the politics of homelessness, overall he was pretty conservative.

Byrne said he described himself as a “radical conservative.”

McCradie described him as “a Republican from way back,” adding, “Come on, he’s a millionaire homeless person.”

Thanks to the intervention of Santa Barbara Police Officer Keld Hove, Mannon got a room in the New Faulding Hotel.

“He loved it,” Byrne said.“He liked having a warm room and a warm bed.”About that time, Mannon intervened aggressively when two elderly tourists were being harassed by a young urban traveler on State Street. Whether Mannon “beat the crap” out of the young man as he claimed is not clear. But he kept the man from leaving until police arrived. For this, he was nominated for a medal of commendation by some of the same officers with whom he’d feuded over the years.

Ultimately, Mannon left the Faulding. He wanted to smoke pot in his room, and house rules forbade it. In the meantime, the unlikely friendship between Mannon and Byrne deepened. He was a frequent — and mostly unannounced — visitor at Byrne’s downtown home. Byrne’s daughter liked Mannon. Byrne’s dog positively loved him. “He was like the crazy uncle we adopted. Yes, he’s eccentric and irritating at times, but I love him,” Byrne said.“I know that if I ever needed anything, Ed would have killed himself trying to make that n happen.”

especially his family and friends.

Before moving back to his native Pacific Northwest, Gary and his wife, Eva Sharlene, spent 20 years in Santa Barbara, where they shared their home generously with friends and where Gary served as a real estate broker. Their Santa Barbara legacy includes the two beautiful houses they built on Hot Springs Road and several new business enterprises, including the Pacific Grill on Santa Claus Lane and the Santa Ynez Nursery. It also includes the founding of the William T. Colville Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting nascent fine artists.

While living in Santa Barbara, Gary met Bill Colville, a native of Montecito and a fine watercolorist. The two shared values and a silly sense of humor; they grew close enough to develop a surrogate fatherson relationship, something Gary, who had grown up fatherless, sought and cherished.

In addition to his beloved wife, Gary has left behind his daughter, Rachel Peters Bleck (Brad), of Spokane, Washington; his son, Hayden Peters, of Pacific City, Oregon; his grandson Tobias Bleck, of Spokane, Washington. Gary was so intensely proud of his children that his eyes would fill with tears speaking of them. His family and friends will grieve his untimely death as long as memory serves, and the world will be poorer for the loss of one who cared so much.

Declan Goudet Gloster 05/03/03-12/28/15

Gary Lee Peters, age 69, succumbed to cancer this past Christmas Eve at his home in Neskowin, Oregon, on the Pacific Coast. Up until the very end, Gary retained his wit, his equanimity, and even his business acumen. Born in Spokane, Washington, on June 6, 1946, Gary was a gentle, funny, and ever-observant man who loved using his cameras to preserve simple but timeless moments of daily life. Nature, beauty, art, animal life, relationships, and human creativity were all sources of wonder and joy for him. His cameras were an extension of his own eyes; his ability to express humanist values through captured images touched and influenced all those exposed, but, of course,

Declan Goudet Gloster (12 years), second son of Catherine and Paul Gloster, brother of Yannick and Eoghan.

Together with a sparkle in his eyes, Declan always had either a big smile or a determined look on his face.

He was eager to start school.

As a toddler, when collecting his older brother Yannick from Navy Door at Montessori Cen-

ter School, he always wanted to be early so he could spend time in the class. He was so happy for the three years he was a student in the class himself; he loved the atmosphere of the classroom, with his teachers and friends there.

After graduating from Navy Door, he went to Vieja Valley Elementary School. There, it was “knockout” on the basketball court and books, always books. He wanted to be dropped off early and picked up late, to bike on “Bike to School Day,” and generally to participate in whatever was going on. Getting that bit older, he nurtured his sense of humor sometimes it was sarcastic, sometimes he saw things as funny when not everyone else did.

He was not only serious and good at school, but he also excelled at many outdoor activities. He was an avid sailor with S.B. Seashells, loved the ocean and learned to kite board in Ireland. During his summers in France, he enjoyed horse riding, swimming, fishing, surfing, biking and kayaking with friends.

He felt a special connection when visiting family in Ireland and France every summer.

When snowboarding in Mammoth, he’d take the first lift up in the morning and the last lift up in the evening to make most of the day.

A few years ago, an outreach from the S.B. Symphony brought musical instruments to his classroom, and the cello enthralled him. It turned out to be more challenging to learn than he thought it would be, but true to form, he persevered and developed a genuine appreciation for the instrument. His music community brought him great pleasure.

Over the years, all who knew him could see he was kindhearted, smart, determined, sometimes naughty, and mostly funny and easy to talk to.

When a rare spinal cord tumor was detected in January 2015, it wasn’t a surprise to see that he just worked very hard to regain his health and strength.

With his positive outlook, he saw every medical procedure as a pathway to get better, and his hours and hours of occupational and physical therapy, as enabling him to live life to the fullest. He could no longer play cello, so he took up piano; he switched boats from one that required physical dexterity to one that rewarded subtle judgment. He traded his regular bike for a sleek recumbent. He learned to play cards.

From late August, with his cancer metastasized and his body failing him, he continued to show his focus, drive and an incredible courage. He just never gave up and maximized every moment. He trusted the love from his family and friends until the very end. He died peacefully in his sleep at home.

Declan lived his short life to its fullest. His contagious energy and overall enthusiasm will be remembered by his many friends. Eoghan asked to say that “Declan was the greatest brother that one could have.”

A private funeral took place on Thursday, December 31, 2015 at Goleta Cemetery. A public Memorial Service to celebrate Declan’s life will take place on Saturday, February 27, 2016, at 4:30 p.m. at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club. Friends are invited to share their memories of Declan and to celebrate his life.

Declan was an astute judge of character. We would like to pay tribute to his many friends from Montessori Center School, Vieja Valley Elementary, cello and from the Seashells for their kindness and meaningful friendship during his illness.

His cancer tissue was donated for research to Stanford so his fight against pediatric neurological cancer goes on in a new form. The cell line of his cancer cells will help in the understanding of this terrible disease and the development of future therapies.

In Declan’s memory, please consider making a tax-deductible financial donation to support pediatric brain cancer research by going to Declan’s Webpage: my.supportlpch.org/ declan

Santa Barbara High School and then went to serve as an Army Paratrooper from 1954-1962.

He worked 34 years for the City of Santa Barbara Water Dept. and was a much-respected Lead Person. During retirement he enjoyed and excelled in gardening, landscaping, and building many wood projects for his home. He took pride in helping family and friends with his handiwork.

Tag, You’re It

C

ertainly you remember playing Tag? It’s a great game, but there’s a different definition of the word.

It’s near-synonymous with “graffiti,” but tagging seems more a signature than overarching expression. Hiking down the Santa Ynez River corridor, sure enough, I find graffiti, or something like that, on the 101 overpass.

But if the bridge is the taggers’ canvas, the river is their backfill.

As my son and I walk upstream, we see so much trash it’s unconscionable—empty spray paint cans, used toilet paper, empty vodka bottles, water bottles floating adrift. Through the eyes of a 7-year-old, the colorful tags on the bridge are intriguing, but hiking farther he became solemn upon seeing the cost of the expression, the disrespect of a place he loves, the river.

The 28 miles from Buellton to the estuary above Surf is one of the most beautiful stretches of real estate in our county, and everything flows downstream. I am not ragging on the graffiti under the bridge, but this “studio” also happens to be a sacred waterway; it deserves the respect of any other holy place. Maybe the next tag should be a two-color throw up in bubble lettering that reads,“If you pack it in, pack that shit out!”

— R. Ska Tay, Santa Ynez Valley

Trump Leads the Pack

T

he 2016 election will be a landmark event. Americans are fed up and angry. We no longer have a border, we are being invaded by illegals and Middle Easterners, Americans are losing jobs, our military is being diminished, and politicians in both parties do not care about the welfare of our nation. It is a disgrace.

Thankfully, a populist, nationalist movement is brewing. This is why we see an outsider like Donald Trump leading the pack. The survival of our Republic will depend on whether or not he is elected president.

From EOF to Park?

V

enoco’s Ellwood Onshore Facility (EOF) has been operating as a “nonconforming use” since 1991 when the zoning changed from industrial to recreational, a use that can be terminated after the owner recoups a reasonable return on investment.

The county’s 2001 analysis concluded Venoco would recoup just that by 2016.

Goleta began to update the county’s analysis in December 2014. I request that Goleta finish the analysis, make the results public, and discuss them with the public.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to turn the EOF into an open space or park for all?

For the Record

¶ To clarify last week’s news article on the Coastal Commission [independent.com/CCCdrama], part of this story could be interpreted to imply that Hollister Ranch Owners’ Association (HROA) has taken a position on Charles Lester’s employment at the commission. That interpretation would be incorrect. Nor has the association taken a position on the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary. Independent of HROA, David James of the Forest Preservation Society represents a handful of Hollister Ranch landowners opposing the proposed marine sanctuary. ¶ Congressional candidate Jeff Oshins states that he hasn’t actually been known as Colonel P. “Bigdaddy” Compo, as last week’s Angry Poodle, “Notorious DOG,” indicated but rather as Colonel J.T. Cornpone.

We stand corrected. ¶ We incorrectly identified J.J. Hollister’s law partner as Bob Brace in last week’s In Memoriam [independent .com/inmemjj]; his name is Bill Brace. ¶ The Voices piece in last week’s paper [independent .com/illadvised] incorrectly stated the tenure of former Coastal Commission executive director Peter Douglas to have been 35 years; it was 25 years.

s the 31st Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) dawned upon the city, I approached the intimidatingly loaded schedule with a mixture of awe and trepidation, as one might a superior platter of nachos. After all, strategy is paramount when facing down a week and a half of films and tributes, schmoozing, and late nights — generally in orthopedically ill-advised footwear.

Then again, when life gives you a gut-buster of indulgence, sometimes it’s best to simply dive in.

Energy crackled on opening night, which brought the U.S. premiere of The Little Prince to the packed Arlington. S.B.’s favorite dude, Jeff Bridges, who voiced the part of The Aviator to epic effect, was on hand, as were director Mark Osborne and star Mackenzie Foy. As is tradition, SBIFF director Roger Durling welcomed the crowd by inviting us to get to know our neighbors, but the real bonding happened as the film drew to its close, loosing tears and inspiring new kinship built upon a need for Kleenex. The party migrated to Paseo Nuevo for the Opening Night Gala, and as befits an after-party for a movie whose theme is the importance of remembering the wonder of childhood, the grown-ups partied like kids — or at least like grown-ups who’d forgotten that the details of their grown-up lives would be waiting come morning.

The spirit-of-childhood game remained strong the following evening, at the Maltin Modern Master tribute to Johnny Depp. The gloriously weird Black Mass star arrived late, to a swirl of rumors (he’s not coming!) and a houseful of peeps taking proper advantage of the newly installed lobby bars. Depp, dressed in black and heavily inked, bejeweled, and golden-toothed, did not disappoint. The scent he gave off was less actor than medium, and the various personae he’s inhabited — Hunter Thompson and Captain Jack, Ed Wood and Scissorhands — seemed to hum precariously close to the surface. Speaking in a slow, roundabout, oft-hilarious, and oddly hypnotic stream of consciousness, his “answers” to moderator Leonard Maltin’s questions often meandered so far afield that I’d find myself laughing at some random crack only to snap out of it and wonder, Wait, how did we get here? It was impossible not to be charmed by this delightful oddball of a man — nor to leave without wishing for entrée to the cartoony parallel universe from which he sprang. And while it appeared that the shape-shifting Depp skipped the after-party, it’s difficult to say for sure: I did see a pirate loitering e Foy by the taco bar.

The following night brought the American Riviera Award tribute to Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, and Mark Ruffalo, stars of the heavily Oscar-nommed Spotlight, which tells the true story of the Boston Globe journalists who uncovered the staggering, systemic sexual abuse of the Catholic Church. While Ruffalo could not attend (oh, woe), McAdams, Keaton, and Durling, who moderated the conversation, delivered a discussion that bounced from serious to silly and back again. The stunning McAdams was measured, Fluke and Doug Sk ipper-Dotta thoughtful, and quick to credit her real-life counterpart, Sacha Pfeiffer, who was in attendance, as instrumental in her performance. Keaton waxed romantic about journos, whom the self-described curious-to-a-fault news junkie clearly views as kindred spirits, and deflected Durling’s compliments about the importance of movies in demystifying scandals like this one, insisting instead that real change is owed to survivors, such as Durling, coming out and telling their stories.

Saturday night brought the Virtuosos, which boasted a roster of seven people, including Elizabeth Banks (Love & Mercy), Paul Dano (Love & Mercy and Youth), O’Shea Jackson (Straight Outta Compton), Géza Röhrig (Son of Saul), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina and The Danish Girl), Jacob Tremblay (Room), and Joel Edgerton (Black Mass), who wasn’t lie chelle Prestage, Ju able to attend. The 9-yearSummer Calvert, Mi lvert, and Kate Kadow Ca old Tremblay handily stole DeAngelis, Jessica the show: when asked if he was allowed to see Room, he said yes and that it wasn’t too scary, because “if you’re a mom, you understand this is like the worst thing that ever happened. But to a kid, it’s like… whatever.” When asked if he could do a movie in any foreign language, what it would be, he said, “Mongolian. But I can’t tell you what, because that would be a spoiler.”

And while the next day may have brought a certain bloated sporting event to TVs everywhere, my personal SBIFF halftime report shows an impressive dent in that proverbial platter of nachos and the wonder of childhood running away with it. 

Rooney Mara

I

n this film adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt, Rooney Mara plays the role of Therese Belivet, a submissive yet daring shop girl who, during a time when homosexuality is a moral taboo, finds herself infatuated with the older, sophisticated Carol, played by Cate Blanchett.

In the film, mastermind director Todd Haynes retraces and preserves the love story of Carol and Therese, admirably defining the inevitable gamble we take when it comes to following your heart. Maybe it helped that Haynes previously worked with Cate Blanchett on the 2007 film I’m Not There, a compilation of Bob Dylan’s life epitomized by six characters, and that he is familiar with filming this time period of the ’50s when racial tensions soared (as seen in his 2002 film Far from Heaven) and homosexuality was banned. Still, Haynes outdid himself with Carol — throughout the movie, we are in the heads of both Carol and Therese, experiencing the emotional uproar of this romance.

Last month, I spoke with Rooney Mara via phone to discuss the movie and her return to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, this time as the receiver of the Cinema Vanguard Award. Two festivals ago, Mara presented Cate Blanchett

by Ginny ChunG the SBIFF’s Outstanding Performance of the Year Award for her role in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine. The award presentation was the first time Mara met Blanchett, as they had yet to start work on Carol. Of their later pairing, Mara said: “Working with your heroes is sometimes scary — you might find out they don’t live up to your expectations. But Cate? She definitely lived up to mine.”

Similar to her character on-screen, Mara was bashful yet powerful as she humbly explained that she couldn’t take credit for the character of Therese: “I had the book, perfectly translated into a screenplay by Phyllis Nagy, on set. Because there is a wealth of information about Therese and her thoughts, I didn’t have to find the character.”

Eliciting strong emotion and empathy with viewers, Carol “[was] a very personal experience,” Mara said. “It’s one that stays with you after you watch it.” The Cinema Vanguard Award, which Mara will be receiving, was created to recognize actors making a big impact and contribution to film and is a befitting honor to bestow on Mara, a young actress who has already made her impressive mark on screen.

“

I

think all of my movies sound like they’re scary when you just hear about them, and I think it’s just as true about Room, too,” said Irish director Lenny Abrahamson. “But I also like to think that all of them have great warmth, as well.” Recently turned 49, Abrahamson has made five films, each creating a bigger splash than the movie before it. Room, the story of a mother and child who escape from a shed where they were imprisoned by a sexual predator, was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Abrahamson is being honored with the SBIFF Outstanding Directors of the Year Award, as well.

It begins mysteriously and scary, turns creepy, and then becomes triumphant as mother and son escape. Then as Ma (Brie Larson) comes to see the terror of their confinement through the eyes of Jack (Jacob Tremblay), it becomes unexpectedly beautiful. “It was the strong emotional connection that drew me to the material in the first place,” said Abrahamson, one late Saturday afternoon in El Encanto’s bar. “When I read Emma’s novel [Emma Donoghue, who also wrote the screenplay], I was very moved, but what particularly sold me on the material was how all these emotions illustrated deeper themes about love and parenting. It was ultimately very uplifting.”

The birth of his son also brought Abrahamson, who was a philosophy grad student at Stanford before he dropped out and returned to Dublin and filmmaking, to a way of seeing. “Movies should be a lot like the way Jack sees things [after leaving the room]. You know, that glass there on the table, it leaves a little pool of water. It has beautiful reflections. We take all that for granted,” he said. At the same time, Abrahamson wanted to use Jack’s point of view to obscure the horrible things that were happening around him.“The novel is told from his point of view, so things don’t get so horrible for the viewer.”

He admitted to a deep love of manipulating audience feelings.

The Academy nomination was a grand surprise, said Abrahamson. “I can’t pretend I’m not happy.

For once, I’m not worried about what I’m going to do next. And people give you things — it’s amazing.

Burberry sent me a tuxedo to wear to the awards.”

He laughed explaining that the best tailor in Dublin also sent him an invitation for a fitting.“That means you’ve arrived. I’m trying to enjoy all of this without letting it go to my head.”

Abrahamson has a television project coming up, filming the California novelist Kem Nunn’s recent detective thriller Chance, starring Hugh Laurie. He wants to work again with Domhnall Gleeson, who starred in Frank, his film about a rock star with a huge papier-mâché mask, another film with emotions both huge and hidden, and all about point of view. “And Domhnall’s been in five movies this year — he’s great.”

A lot of people say the same thing about Abrahamson: I told him that Brie Larson said in a recent interview that he loved all living things and protected his actors well. “It’s a nice thing she said. I like actors, and I like to take them along with me rather than push, you know, like others do,” he explained.

“But all this other stuff comes from walks Brie and I use to take. She said I couldn’t pass a dog without petting it.” (This comment was followed by five minutes of sharing camera-phone pet pictures.)

“All my earlier movies are about people on the absolute fringes, people you would see and pass by — a gas station attendant, two drug addicts, and in What Richard Did, the story of a person who has it all and then loses it. They may sound ‘scary’ like you said, but I really try to find the humanity in people like this. And if you can’t find it there, where can you find it?”

Lenny Abrahamson, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Tom McCarthy, Adam McKay, and George Miller will receive the Outstanding Directors of the Year Award on Thursday, February 11, at the Arlington Theatre. See sbiff.org.

“o

ur first job is to make an enterby MiChelle Drown taining film, but secondly, when we can have an impact like this, it’s pretty gratifying,” said Spotlight director Tom McCarthy during a recent interview with The Santa Barbara Independent.

Nominated for five Academy Awards, McCarthy has achieved both objectives with this enthralling film, which follows a team of Boston Globe reporters that uncovers a sex-abuse scandal within the Catholic Church in 2002. Amiable and thoughtful, McCarthy answered a few questions ahead of his appearance at the SBIFF, where he will receive an award for Outstanding Directors of the Year.

How hard was it to get Spotlight made? We kept joking that we weren’t greenlit until we wrapped. And there was a lot of truth in that. I think in this particular marketplace, it’s always difficult to get something like Spotlight made … the subject matter, having an ensemble [cast]. Even when we had all the pieces in place, we were never certain. There were a lot of times we thought we were dead. Especially down at the stretch.

We were running out of time, and the window on shooting and actors was tough. Fortunately, we pulled it off.

The team spent several years investigating the story, and you had to get all that information in your heads relatively quickly. That must have been a challenge.

Well, keep in mind that everything they had reported on we had access to, but we didn’t have access to the investigation. So we could read what they reported pretty easily, though that took time, but understanding how they got there, that’s what we had to ask the questions about, and the only way we could do that was by going back again and again and again.

I like the way you portrayed the realism of a newspaper investigative team. It was a direct result of chatting with them and realizing they weren’t fist-pumping people. Occasionally they’d get mad like anybody else when their collaboration was difficult, but they are pros; they do their job. And it felt like we wanted to capture that. Then as we started to really lean into that, it felt like it was creating a style and a tone that was both original and exciting. We had this great end, but it was the procedural, the investigation — so totally how we addressed that was the next big question.

Was there any backlash regarding the subject matter? No, not really. They pretty much left us alone, and now that the movie has come, what is most exciting is the response. I just received an email from a producer that said two Australian cardinals are urging the parishioners to go see Spotlight.You hear things like that from halfway around the world, and you know we are connecting somewhere.

Which is the goal of all of the films you’ve made, I imagine. I think so, but you can’t always count on it. This movie has certainly a special relevant impact. And here, 12 weeks in and now expanding internationally, we are really starting to feel that. We are feeling that this movie is really moving the needle in some small way.  continued>>> independent.com

AdAm McKay

Director Brings the Financial Crisis of 2008 to the Screen

by MiChelle Drown

I

n 2008, the global economy was rocked by an egregious Wall Street blunder that involved the creation of questionable subprime loans which led to the housing market bubble bursting — to summarize it in ridiculously simplistic terms.

Eight years later, the financial institutions’ doublespeak explanations of the economic collapse and its cause have left many still wondering what the hell happened. In his gripping film The Big Short, director Adam McKay clearly lays out the big banks’ horrifically unscrupulous actions that precipitated the crash. The film is based on Michael Lewis’s best-selling book of the same name, and McKay, known primarily for helming satirical, ribald comedies starring Will Ferrell (Step Brothers, Talladega Nights, Anchorman), deftly brings this equally outrageous story to the screen with a sense of mission. I recently spoke over the phone with McKay about his multiAcademy Award–nominated film.

Below is an extremely abbreviated version of our conversation.

Michael Lewis’s book The Big Short is a complicated story, and I thought you did a fantastic job of making it accessible. Did you find translating the book to the screen difficult? I was so excited by the book. Even though, yes, I agree, there were complicated elements to it, by the end I felt like I got the shape in a fairly clear way. I got it in a way that was so exciting; my goal was just to make sure a filmgoing audience was as excited as I was. I just knew it was a matter of, “How do you do it?” So then you look at the story, and you say, “Well, what do you need to do?” Because the story always tells you, and I was surprised when the answer was,“You need to break the fourth wall with this.” In this case, it was just screaming for it; this is a story where it’s all about looking behind the curtain. Once I hit on that, it was like,“Oh, all right; now there’s a spark going on.”

It’s a technique that can be jarring, but the fourth-wall breaks in your film were fluid. Oh, thank you.

I think sometimes people see fourth-wall breaks and they’re afterthought fixes. In this case, the movie was built around the idea, and that’s why it didn’t jump out at people. We designed the movie around it, and I think that’s why you still feel that flow when you’re watching it.

This is a bit of a departure from your other films. How did you rein in your comedic bent? I never thought of it that way.You just start doing it, and you know, you’re cooking something, and you don’t really think, “Oh, I’m making tacos instead of an omelet?” I was just so excited by it and just felt like it needed to be made. That having been said, as far as the differences go, the biggest was that we just do loads of improv on the comedies, and we did not do nearly that much with this. There’s probably about a fifth as much, a sixth as much, improv on this one. So in some ways it was like everything just got a lot more subtle, and then because we weren’t improvising so much, [the days] weren’t quite as exhausting. [Chuckles.] Comedy is very tiring! Because your mind is working nonstop all day, especially as a writer/director, and kind of driving the improv, and the actors will tell you: They’re just as exhausted at the end of the day.

Have you had any blowback from this film by anybody in the finance world? These movies have a lifespan of like a year to two years, so I think the story’s about half done as far as the impact the movie’s going to have. I think we’re still in the middle of it. Once these movies go on cable and on-demand, millions more people see them, so I think in about a year and a half, two years, I can sit back and think, “Okay, what was the reaction to that movie?” But it’s definitely been intriguing so far, and we’re getting, like, really strong reactions from audiences, too.

In my opinion, the film is a call to arms to the audience. That’s why we made it, yeah! That’s definitely the intention.“Wake the fuck up,” and,“You’re getting screwed harder than you realize.” Jump into the game. 

An Ode to Early Mornings at SBIFF by ethan Stewart

T

here is an intoxicating mental dissonance that sets in when you hit the movies before 8 a.m. Everything around you, from your bedhead reflection in the mirror and the traffic-free streets to the empty parking lots and the slowly brightening sky, suggests that the day has only just begun. But then there is your destination: the movie theater, a place we typically reserve for the end of the day or, on a rare occasion, a mid-afternoon treat. But that, my friends, is the magic of the Film Festival — it forces you to put movie watching front and center and just plain do things differently for a few days every winter.

I first got turned on to the wonders of early-morning movie-going during a SBIFF nearly 10 years ago. Despite having a press pass that allowed me special access, I had grown frustrated by the crush of crowds. My previous survival maneuver—the late-night screenings — had become panic attack inducing and fights over “saved seats” had started breaking out during screenings that, just a year prior, had been virtual ghost towns. Such is the shadow of emerging popularity. And so, armed with a strong cup of coffee and a strong desire for elbow room, I set my alarm one fateful night in the midst of a drunken bedtime grog that one can only get at an SBIFF after-party and their damned open bars. A few hours later, the sky colored gore by the bright red hues of dawn, I was up and getting ready for the movies. Already, my world had been changed.

What I found on my fateful first visit to the so-called “Breakfast Club” of the Film Festival was everything I had been longing for in my SBIFF experience: shorter lines, happier people, the high-quality cinema, and an introduction to the film by the man himself, Roger Durling. It turns out the Durls has a sweet spot for the breakfast crowd, and since he seems not to sleep during the festival, he often makes a point of attending the morning’s first films and doing the emcee duties himself. And, as any Film Fest veteran will tell you, when the Durls is introducing your film, you know you have chosen wisely. That day proved no exception; the film was excellent, and I was officially hooked. Movies for breakfast became my new Film Fest mantra almost immediately.

Walking out of a powerful film with your entire day still in front of you is a most exceptional feeling, and, well, you can’t watch movies all day if you don’t start in the morning. 

My front teeth are broken down. Is there anything I can do to fix them?

We have many options to help return your smile to its original beauty. If you would like to make changes beyond what some whitening or orthodontics could do, a great option is to consider porcelain crowns or veneers for your teeth. Working with our master ceramist lab technicians, we can customize porcelain work specifically for you. Modern day porcelain is extremely strong and can be made very thin so it is just like replacing the enamel on your teeth while removing a very minimal amount of tooth structure.

At your cementation appointment, our ceramist comes into the office to add the final touches to your new smile, eliminating the need for you to return for multiple appointments. This porcelain is then bonded to your teeth. Our porcelain work gives you a new, natural look so people will compliment your smile, not your crowns or veneers. Porcelain crowns and veneers are much longer lasting solution than composite bonding, which chips and breaks more easily, and achieves a much more aesthetic result. Our patients who have completed porcelain work like this only wonder why they did not have it done sooner!

Israelis and Palestinians: A New Paradigm?

Wednesday, February 24 / 5:00 p.m. / Free UCSB Campbell Hall As the Mideast chaos has focused elsewhere, the Israeli and Palestinian issue has been largely sidelined. Negotiated peace, the classic paradigm for the last few decades, has been put aside. What will take its place? What new paradigm can offer peace to both sides and put aside this tragic conflict? What can the United States do?

David Makovsky, Ziegler Distinguished Fellow and Director of the Project on the Middle East Peace Process at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is the co-author with Ambassador Dennis Ross of Myths, Illusions, and Peace: Finding a New Direction for America in the Middle East. His maps on alternative territorial solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict appeared in The New York Times. He is also an adjunct professor in Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies. He served as a Senior Advisor to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry during the Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations (2013-2014).

He also held various positions within the Palestinian Authority, including Director of the International Relations Department in the Office of the Palestinian President, and advisor to former Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas. He has extensive experience in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, having been an advisor to the Palestinian negotiating team throughout the permanent status negotiations (1999–2001).

While most of the country watched pregame highlights and ate deep-fried snacks, Captain Mike and tour guide Milo (far left) of Land and Sea Tour’s amphibious Land Shark educated locals and tourists alike all about our seaside burg. With plenty of jokes and nuggets of historical information that even the most knowledgeable Santa Barbaran might be surprised to learn, the tour winds from the Funk Zone’s tasting rooms, around downtown, and into the harbor to view the city from the sea.

BEYOND CROSSFIT: Crossfit Pacific Coast cofounder Eric Malzone recently expanded his company into Gravitas Fitness, which is now hosting a creative Game of Life wellness challenge.

glitzy getaway vibe and tourist-serving infrastructure, there’s a rising wave of Santa Barbara entrepreneurs who are crafting high-quality products coveted by people around the world. That surge goes from Goleta, where Stinner Frameworks makes to-shelf bicycles right around the corner from the skateboard industry titan Skate One (including the Aera Trucks CRAFTY CREW: Celebrating all things handmade this Friday will be (from left) Brian brand), to downtown S.B., Thompson of Telegraph Brewing; surfboard shapers Ryan Lovelace and Brad Martin; home to surfboard shapers Kevin Reimer from Aera Trucks; Aaron Stinner from Stinner Frameworks; and Aaron such as Ryan Lovelace and Olson of Handlebar Coffee. coffee roasters like Handlebar.

So on this Friday afternoon at The makers will have plenty of products on hand 5 p.m., Telegraph is hosting a free Makers Showcase to celebrate that craftsman spirit and celebrate these to show off and will also speak for a short while on a casual Q&A panel around 6:30 p.m. or so. “I’m companies.

“The whole purpose is to give a face and an expe- hoping that people who come are going to have an rience to these things that we see in magazines or on experience with someone that they did not previInstagram,” said the brewery’s Trevor Scoggins, one ously know was there,” said Scoggins. “Everyone is mastermind of the event. “There’s this really cool ultimately trying to have a big group hug.”

The Makers Showcase is on Friday, February 12, at intersection between all the parts: the beer, the coffee, the cycling, the surfing, the skate community— community these 5 p.m. at Telegraph Brewing (418 N. Salsipuedes St., 963-5018, telegraphbrewing.com). — Matt Kettmann are all the things I was geeking out about as a kid.”

E

ric Malzone, who recently evolved his Crossfit Pacific Coast gym into Gravitas Fitness, won’t hesitate to explain that the multibillion-dollar marketing amalgamation of exercise and nutrition is among the most dubious on earth, promising everything from abdominal washboards in just minutes a day to tropical-berry breakthroughs in humankind’s ongoing battle against belly fat. In other words, he said recently to women and men gathered at Gravitas’s downtown headquarters, there’s a lot of BS out there.

When it comes to life-enhancing food and fitness, Malzone said, real change takes baby steps: Show up, do the work, set reasonable goals, and celebrate wins, however small. It’s really about creating better habits, which is the point of Gravitas’s newest challenge: the Game of Life, a five-week program where participants earn points daily for simple accomplishments (eat a vegetable, take a 20-minute walk) and bigger efforts (keep a food journal, perform a random act of kindness) designed to create a routine shift that’ll stay with them for the long haul. The program also includes nutrition, cooking, meditation, and mobility workshops by guest speakers, and weekly prizes for high scorers.

About 10 years ago, Malzone abruptly left the Bay Area and a lucrative career in sales when a CrossFit colleague texted him out of the blue: “hey man, u want to start a gym?” Since childhood, Malzone had always enjoyed competitive athletics, and had done some coaching, too. Besides, he felt unfulfilled professionally, and a Santa Barbara–based sea change sounded appealing. “I just decided to go for it,” he said.

Though we weren’t packing up to roll the job dice in a new town, I and the other 38 Game of Life participants took his story to heart as the program debuted on February 8. Personally, I’m babystepping off the blocks toward a long-haul shift away from outdated sleeping habits and copious coffee consumption. Why not just go for it?

The WaiTing is The hardesT ParT

W

hen my firstborn son was a toddler, I used to wonder if he would become a bouncer someday because he was big for his age — and fixated on doors. Opening them, closing them. Letting some in (the dog), keeping others out (the dad). He’d station himself in a doorway and take charge, wielding his power like Excalibur: You? Yes, by all means, enter. But not your friend. She waits out here with the others … until I say.

It was cute unless you were carrying groceries.

Now the tables have turned. He’s standing at the doorway of more than a dozen universities, waiting to see if he’ll be admitted. We’re staggering around in the three to four aimless months (110+ days!) between applying to colleges and hearing back from said colleges. The kid is handling it just fine — but for me, this limbo is anguish.

I check the mailbox three times a day, mistaking boring ole tax documents for promising acceptance packets. I hunt for buried treasure in my email spam folder. I’ve sat on university Application Status websites hitting refresh … refresh … refresh, hoping for news that wasn’t there three seconds ago — and still isn’t. I am a confused and slightly ashamed spectator to the grappling matches taking place in my head: What on earth was he thinking applying to such an elite school?! …

How dare they judge this funny, compassionate child based on a handful of test scores and a disinterest in field sports! … email: starshine@roshell.com If it were me? I’d have done Mock Trial.

But whatever …

Look, the kid is careening toward high school graduation. This is happening, people. Why is no one else PANICKING APPROPRIATELY that we have no idea what comes next? It feels like we’re planning a wedding and hoping he’ll find a suitable bride before the big day arrives.

Somewhere in an ivory tower above a picturesque quad, at some point when they damn well feel like it, admissions folks will decide whether there are too many male applicants this year or too many from our hometown or too many other history-nerd, CrossFit-competing jazz drummers to deem my son a “good fit” for their campus.

So forgive me, but as someone who interviewed multiple pediatricians before the child was even born and read every stinking opinion ever published on circumcision, the idea that his fate will now be chosen so randomly, and soooooooo fricking leisurely, borders on outrageous.

The “where” of college is huge; it can portend where he’ll live out the rest of his days. Our family keeps trying to keep things light: “This time next year, when your big brother’s gone … when he’s off at …”

But we don’t know how the story ends. And as a storyteller, I don’t mind telling you I hate that.

Mostly, though, I don’t like how useless the waiting makes me feel.

So suddenly, newly useless. It’s always been my job to help my son get what he wants, and now there’s literally nothing I can do but wait.

And … well, refresh.

Sitting and waiting while relative strangers judge you — employers, lenders, even dates — is good practice for real life, I suppose. And I know the boy will hear “no,”“I’m sorry, but,” and “I’m afraid not” plenty in his life, just as I have in mine and you have in yours.

But for 17 years, we gave this kid the keys to any doors he wanted to open. And I gotta tell you: It hurts to know that life will slam some in his face and we won’t even be able to sneak him in through the back.

At least if the whole college thing doesn’t pan out, he can always find work as a bouncer.

Celebrating FemAle Athletes

30th Annual Women in Sports day; Plus Foresters, tennis, and Good-Bye hot dog Man Vostok bernal

T

itle IX, passed almost 44 years ago, paved the way for exponential growth in the participation of women and girls in college and high school athletics, putting their opportunities and benefits almost level with males’. But the law does not apply to professional sports leagues, where the gap is huge between women (average WNBA salary: $75,000) and men (NBA average: $4.5 million).

That’s not entirely a bad thing, in that it encourages women to stay in school, get a degree, and pursue a profession — meanwhile, using the lessons of teamwork, perseverance, and confidence they learned in sports to help them along the way.

Alison Bernal and Jill Deering are two women who followed that path. They took part in a panel discussion in front of 400 female athletes who attended Monday’s 30th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day Luncheon sponsored by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table. Both women are in the legal profession, Bernal as a litigator and Deering as an in-house counsel.

Bernal, who swam for two years at UCSB before concentrating on her studies, said that courtroom combat is comparable to competitive athletics. “There are winners and losers,” she said. “You have to prepare and practice.” She would put in 80-hour weeks preparing for a trial. She took time out to go through childbirth twice, making her 5:45 a.m. swimming workouts seem easy by comparison.

Deering said she was guided by the slogan “Winners win.” She explained it as “the mentality of looking at what you’re doing, wanting to succeed, and taking steps to get there.”

Both women still achieve empowerment through athletics. Bernal has jumped back into the pool and competes in Masters Meets for the S.B. Swim Club. Deering, who ran cross-country at the University of the Pacific, is one of

Santa Barbara’s top distance runners with aspirations of qualifying for the Olympic trials marathon.

“I’m better now than I was in college,” she said. Then, echoing a chant that fitness zealot Jenny Bill Connell Schatzle prodded the entire audience to shout at the luncheon, Deering said,“I am awesome.”

Hall of Fame inductees Fred Warrecker and Cameron Rupp were separated by a half-century as players for the Foresters. Warrecker played for the original version of the semipro team, sponsored by the Foresters Lodge, in the 1950s. He was head baseball coach at Santa Barbara High for 42 years, retiring after last season. Three of his sons — including Donny Warrecker, who has succeeded him as coach of the Dons — played for the latterday Foresters, who were revived in 1991.

Rupp was a catcher on the 2008 Foresters who brought home the

Lure Fish House is located in La Cumbre Plaza, 3815 State Street. Call 618-1816 or see lurefishhouse.com.

give the Acme Oyster House in New Orleans a run for the money. “It’s just the liquor from the oyster with parmesan butter and garlic. And what doesn’t that improve? That even makes snails taste good,” said Cortina, who is immensely proud of his oyster chef, Mikey Robb.

Patricia accepts the blame for the delayed opening. “It was the bathroom,” said David. “Did you ever go into Ruth’s Chris?” he asks, referring to the prior steak house tenant.“It had the most beautiful bathrooms.” They tried to design the new place around the bathrooms but darkened the feel of the place. “And one day, my wife came in and said the bathrooms have to go.”

“I did,” Patricia said. It cost them but ended up looking how she wanted it: bright and accommodating.

Patricia and David met in college. David was learning to be a pilot until he realized how small airline paychecks are. A surfer who grew up in Malibu, he got his first job shucking oysters at the Nantucket Light, where Nobu is today. They pursued various restaurant partnerships between Carlsbad and Los Angeles, but eventually wound up opening in Camarillo, where Patricia’s parents live. They hired a lot of people they met in earlier restaurants, and a lot of those people are still with them. Then came Ventura, Westlake, and Santa Barbara. “Five restaurants is the most I will do,” said David. “I swear.”

Meanwhile, the Santa Barbara tidal wave still churns, though less threateningly. Cortina has time to experiment now, with culinary discoveries like mixing the two chowders, a kind of fishy Arnold Palmer that works. The place is simultaneously chain and mom ’n’ pop somehow, and Cortina feels that people get the Lure idea.“There are places like Ruth’s Chris that you only go once in a while — for your birthday. Or Kentucky Fried Chicken. I hardly ever eat there, but sometimes it’s exactly what you want,” he explained. “I wanted Lure to be a place where you can always go. When we first opened here, some customer walked up and said,‘This place is great. I’ve already eaten here three times.’ But I said, ‘We’ve only been open two days.’ He said, ‘Yeah.’ ”

Dining Out Guide

hen we first opened Lure here,” said David Cortina, who owns the small but fiendishly popular chain of seafood restaurants that just arrived in La Cumbre Plaza, “I felt like a kid out surfing and here comes a tidal wave. Ahhh!”

The opening, a few days after Christmas, came none too soon for folks used to driving down to Camarillo or Ventura for their fresh-fish fix. The debut was widely rumored and then delayed, Cortina admits, not by zoning and code problems, but because he and his spouse, Patricia Cortina, kept reworking the design. He knew the wait wasn’t sitting well here and feared repercussions, which came in a funny way.“I was working just before we opened,” said David,“and this guy comes up to me and says, ‘You the boss here?’ I said, ‘Yeah, sort of.’

Then the guy says, ‘Can I tell you something? My wife and I planned to have our rehearsal dinner here last year. And now we’re divorced.’” Cortina felt bad, but the guy was laughing.

You may wonder why Lure Fish House inspires such ardor, why its guests seem more like fans than customers. The original Camarillo place was eureka-like, perfect for a refuel on a midday drive to Los Angeles or to crown a return trip, right off the freeway and near the Camarillo IMAX movie theater and outlet stores. But it was more than convenient. Lure serves great fish—fresh and cooked to sweet perfection— with absurdly good sides included for about the same price you would pay for just the halibut (or sea bass, or sand dabs, my favorite) at any other nice fish joint. All the Lures are bright and bustling, the staff efficient and the kitchen fast. And now it’s here.

“I have this great financial officer named Micah Thomas,” said Cortina as we slurped raw and grilled oysters. “He likes to stir up the staff. And the other day, he said to them, ‘Do you know why we sell so much fish?’ They said no.‘Because we sell so much fish.’ You know what I mean?” It’s fresh, in other words, because it doesn’t stay long in our refrigerators.

Cortina believes that cooking fish on a plancha (a thick metal plate) rather than on a grill leaves it more succulent. Even more unorthodox? He believes in tartar sauce, which he knows is considered déclassé. “We call it lemon dill aioli,” he laughed. Speaking of heresy, the grilled oysters

t the risk of sounding like a pompous wino, it’s highly probable that I taste more Central Coast wine than anyone else on the planet these days. Between the stories I do for this newspaper and the steady stream of reviews I write as a contributing editor for Wine Enthusiast, I am regularly tasting more than 200 new wines every month and easily more than 2,000 each year.

That’s why I get so excited every time the Garagiste Festival rolls into Solvang for its annual Southern Exposure event, which brings the tiniest of boutique brands to the Veterans Memorial Hall this weekend. There are always new faces, but the wines tend to be handcrafted and honest. From the list of nearly four dozen, here are five that I’ve never heard anything about and am excited to try.

he new “Art Deco Train Station” Rusty’s Pizza has opened at 5934 Calle Real in Goleta, completing the move from its longtime home just down the street on the opposite side of Fairview Avenue.

Fairview Rusty’s closed in January after renting the space for decades. Rusty’s purchased the 5934 Calle Real property in the 1990s and rented to a variety of tenants, most recently to Takenoya Japanese restaurant. They started developing the new building over a year ago and just completed construction. The new Calle Real Rusty’s Pizza is open daily from 11 a.m.-midnight. Delivery is available until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Meanwhile, Pascucci has opened at Camino Real Marketplace in Goleta, inside the building previously home to Holdren’s Grill. This new Pascucci is run by the folks behind the everpopular Pascucci restaurant at 729 State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, and they share the exact same menu. Chefs from downtown Pascucci have been brought in to train new kitchen staff to ensure the food remains consistent across locations. I’m told that the prices at the Goleta location are slightly lower than Pascucci on State Street. The only other Italian restaurant in all of Goleta is Petrini’s Pizza & Pasta on Calle Real, so Italian cuisine coming to the Good Land is a rare and welcome event.

COSTCO TACO TUESDAY? Periodically I

receive tips that Costco will be offering a Taco Tuesday. I am a huge taco fan, so I was of course thrilled when I first heard the news. But when I spoke with Costco, I was told that the rumor is false. While shopping at Costco recently I discovered the source of this mysterious rumor: A large sign on the wall near the cash registers says “Taco Tuesday.” This sign is an example for their poster print offerings, and not an indication of impending cuisine from south of the border.

READER ANNIE: In recent columns, you may

have noticed tips credited to “reader Annie.” This is my new code word for tips that are submitted anonymously. Two syllables flow much better on the printed page than five. So if you submit an earth-shattering anonymous tip and discover that Annie gets all the credit, rest assured it’s really you.

Snow Leopard Vodka: Named after an elusive, endangered creature (and with 15 percent of each sale going to preservation efforts), this spirit is also unique as it’s distilled from spelt, an ancient grain that’s a cousin to wheat. That’s enough to help it stand out from the premium vodka pack, in addition to the gorgeous frosted bottle featuring the titular cat.

Six times distilled (that’s a lot), it’s quite pure as a neutral spirit, as vodka should be. That doesn’t mean there are no flavor notes — a bit of vanilla, a hint of spelt’s nuttier characteristics — and what might be most striking: an almost creamy mouthful when it’s sipped neat and unchilled.

That heartier weight means it’s a delightful backbone for cocktails. I whipped one up with tangerines, Grand Marnier, vanilla bean, and chocolate bitters, and the vodka made everything shine.

Fallen Officer Memorial Project The Santa Barbara Police Department’s Fallen Officer Memorial Project will honor the five S.B.P.D. Officers – H. Thomas Guerry, Henry Evans, Clarence Jensen, Ronald Wainscott, and Richard Williams – who have given the ultimate sacrifice protecting the safety and freedoms of our community.

The Fallen Officers Memorial will include a life size bronze sculpture (depicted above) designed by renowned Santa Barbara artist Bud Bottoms, symbolizing commitment, service, sacrifice and community, and will be engraved with the names of the five fallen officers. The Santa Barbara Police Department front walkway was selected as the site for the memorial so that everyone who walks up the steps will pass by the honorary location.

This project is 100 percent privately funded, so donations are needed to help to bring the Fallen Officer Memorial to fruition. Donor names will be added to an honor roll inside the police station. Those giving $1,500 or more will have their names displayed with the memorial and those contributing $5,000 or more will also receive a special gift: a bronze centerpiece replica of the sculpture.

Please visit www.gofundme.com/sbpdmemorial for details and to contribute online.

The new release from Jacob Edward Cole (of King Cole and Saint Anne’s Place) is six songs of breezy guitar beauty.

Recorded in Lompoc and Buellton, Cole’s pretty guitar work evokes his climes like a wintry Gaviota wind, sun-kissed and shiver-shook both. Highlights include “Trouble” and “Too Much Too Soon,” which in their rock-and-lull swings remind one of the blue-bruised moods of Freedy Johnston and Chris Isaak. See Cole live this Friday, February 12, at the Ojai Deer Lodge; Thursday, February 18, at Los Globos in Silverlake; and Friday, February 26, at Bombay Bar & Grill in Ventura.

Darlene Love is a powerhouse vocalist who Bruce Springsteen has referred to as “an inspirational joy” and “a one-woman wall of sound.” As the lead singer of The Blossoms, Love nailed it on the 1962 number-one hit single “He’s a Rebel” (credited to The Crystals). She sang backing vocals on The Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” and Shelley Fabares’s “Johnny Angel,” among other classics, and she performed her signature song “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on Letterman’s show for decades. Additionally, Love was one of the singers featured in the Academy Award–winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. Produced by Steven Van Zandt, resplendent with horns, Hammond B3 organ, and drums, and featuring songs written by Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and Jimmy Webb — as well as great gospel covers — IIntroducing Darlene Love is an album to love!

Birth of a Zine Next Thursday, February 18, a group of multitalented, artistically inclined surfers — including Indy writer Ethan Stewart — will celebrate the release of their new, pocket-sized surf zine, Wild True Now Now, at M. Special Brewing Company in Goleta at 8 p.m. The zine is a new frontier for the gang of Rincon surf buddies, who memorialized in their Moleskine-sized zine a powerful soul-surfing excursion the group shared in Central America and Australia during the summer of 2014.

The content of Wild True Now began as a joint piece for international surf magazine Slide, which hired Stewart and writer Donnie Hedden to document the group’s spiritually healing quest for waves. The friends sought surf to commemorate new life chapters, with half combing Central American beaches and half searching Australian ones. Stewart was, at the time, recovering from a bout of pancreatic cancer, and surfed to reclaim the waters the disease had so painfully withheld from him for years. Another was hitting his 40th birthday; another had his first child due in three weeks; and one simply wanted to taste his first proper barrel.

Additionally, the trip came at a time that S.B. was in year four of a lackluster surfing season. “There was this real sense of a crust building over your surf life here in S.B. Things were just dry and dead, and you needed to get away … In a way, our trips were representative of this larger exodus away from S.B.,” Stewart said.

But before Slide could publish Stewart and Hedden’s pieces, the magazine folded. The group found themselves with a meaningful body of work but no pages to host it — so they decided to make their own, with designer and fellow surfer Leo Basica commandeering layout. “We started to play with the idea of, wouldn’t it be fun to be in charge of our own destiny?”

Stewart said. “It was a completely self-produced affair.

The people in the stories are the people who made the magazine.”

The release party will feature both live music and photos courtesy of the zine’s co-creators. “It’s a product of everyone bringing their talents together in this sort of concert of creation,” Stewart said of the zine and its upcoming release party.

California 101: Art from the Collection.

At the UCSB Art Design & Architecture Museum. Shows through May 1.

Reviewed by Charles Donelan

nterest in the postwar art of California has been running high, at least since the Getty Institute’s Pacific Standard Time initiative that began in 2011. This current exhibit at UCSB, which primarily draws on the Art, Design & Architecture (AD&A) Museum’s permanent collection, delivers a sharp, informative, and thought-provoking version of what California has contributed to the art world since 1940. Curated by Rebecca Harlow at the request of art history professor Jenni Sorkin, who is teaching a course called Art in California: 1949-2016, California 101 travels the length of the state in pursuit of objects that represent the engagement of artists who have lived and worked here for a substantial period of time with the major issues and movements of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Car culture permeates the show, as only befits an exhibition whose title conflates our main coastal freeway with the idea of an entry-level college course. One concatenation of artworks in particular succeeds in articulating a vision of the automobile as cultural avatar. Audrey Simokaitis Sanders and her husband Jeff Sanders traveled up the 101 from Los Angeles to Ojai in the early 1970s. Audrey Simokaitis Sanders’s “Open March Zebra,” a painting-like construction from 1974 consisting of chicken wire wrapped in cloth and then dappled with black paint, hangs on the far side of the main space, propped at a slight distance from the wall in order to take full advantage of the way the dense weave of shadows it casts interacts with its crumpled, painted surface. An image drawn from nature — Sanders sees it as embodying the texture of sunlight through a

latticework of moving leaves —“Open March Zebra” nevertheless partakes of the same black-and-white sensibility evident in Ed Ruscha’s “Main Street” (1990), which hangs elsewhere in the same room.

At the center of the room sits a vitrine full of scale model cars built by Jeff Sanders, Audrey’s husband. These “Plush Hummers,” as Sanders titles them, come in Mandarin Orange, Tangy Lime, and Delicious Apple, among other colors seemingly derived from the marketing of candy. Sanders served for many years as a chief fabricator in the atelier of Ed Kienholz, and the two magnificent examples of the Kienholz oeuvre in this exhibit are both on loan from the couple’s private collection of his work.“Sawdy” (1971), a car door modified to present a gruesomely ambiguous scene on the inside of a functioning roll-down window, presents Kienholz at the height of his powers, dictating the direction of a crucial stream of California art that continues down to today, most prominently in the grind-house Guignol sensibility of filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.

Curator Harlow has echoed this current in her choice of an image to represent the entire exhibit on posters and flyers. “Isle of California — Lunch Brake for V. Henderson and T. Schoonhoven” (1973) is a lithograph that’s all that’s left of a mural created by the Los Angeles Fine Arts Squad that once occupied a wall at the corner of Sawtelle and Santa Monica Boulevard. This postapocalyptic image of a fractured freeway overpass, which predates the Northridge quake by more than two decades, provides a telling reminder of the degree to which our concrete California reality is built on so much superficial sand. n

lla in The Producers has to be one of Broadway’s most challenging roles, and young Jessica Ernest loves playing her. “It’s an awesome part,” the ingénue told me last week by phone from her hotel in Albuquerque. “The production has been going for almost an hour, every other character has been introduced, and you have to come on fresh, with no introduction, and stop the show with one number — I love it!” That number is a song called “When You’ve Got It, Flaunt It,” and it requires, according to Ernest, “singing, dancing, doing an accent, and wearing a wig.” And that’s not all.

For “Flaunt It” to work, the performer has to have splitsecond comic timing and extraordinary stamina just to get through all the wild changes Mel Brooks has thrown into this loving send-up of big Broadway showstoppers of yore.

When The Producers arrives on the stage at the Granada this Tuesday and Wednesday, February 16 and 17, Ernest and the rest of the cast will have been performing it in all kinds of venues all over the United States for four months. As one of Broadway’s all-time most successful shows (12 Tony Awards), The Producers has been on a lot of people’s must-see lists for years,

and this touring production has now given thousands of fans their first taste of the wacky world concocted

by Brooks and Thomas Meehan out of Brooks’s earlier, nonmusical film of the same name from 1968. Between the show-biz in-jokes, the outrageous camp musical numbers, and the dancing Nazis, it has everything any laughter-loving theatergoer could ask for, and this production is sure to hit all the right wrong notes.

Shows through February 21.

T

he ongoing proliferation of solos in the theater has generated a powerful wave of innovation. Not so long ago, audiences could expect wide variations in subject matter, but in form, not so much. Whether the part was Mark Twain or Huey Newton, Emily Dickinson or Lenny Bruce, the performer would typically impersonate a single individual and stay put in that role for the entire night. I Am My Own Wife, Doug Wright’s fascinating deconstruction of the tangled lives that converge around the historical figure of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, at once subverts and exceeds the expectations established by the traditional one-person show.

The playwright’s sophisticated deployment of various extended theatrical techniques adds to the pleasure of this richly layered account of a life spent in the shadows of first the Nazis and then the communists of East Berlin.

Instead of a unified point of view delivered entirely in the first-person singular, I Am My Own Wife strings together more than two dozen perspectives into a glittering kaleidoscope with an engaging enigma at its constantly shifting center. The brilliant actor John Tufts handles the show’s frequent shifts in time frame and in format with remarkable tact and dexterity. Thanks to Jenny Sullivan’s inspired direction, even the most unexpected changes arrive from within a fully articulated dramatic design. From the chapter titles projected on the set to the dollhouse-sized furniture Charlotte uses to illustrate a description of her Gründerzeit Museum,

A SINGLE HUMAN: One actor, John Tufts, plays every role in I Am My Own Wife.

all the separate pieces of this performance puzzle consistently add up to something more interesting and tantalizing than the sum of the parts.

The plot hinges on the inclusion of the playwright’s perspective, which details his discovery of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a cross-dressing antique collector whose “museum” served for decades as a key meeting place for LGBT citizens of the repressive East German state. As the character “Doug Wright” gets closer to finishing his proposed play based on what he perceives as a heroic example of gay resistance to fascism, the selfserving account he has received from Charlotte begins to crumble. Perhaps she has been lying about how she behaved, especially when the Stasi came and asked for cooperation in rounding up other homosexuals. At one point, the voice of a psychiatrist announces that Charlotte’s autobiography may be something she has come to believe because “the repetition of these fantasies is palliative.” Faced with a fundamental uncertainty about his source, the playwright in the play must in turn confront his own motives. It’s in this last, final act of selfconscious reflection that I Am My Own Wife achieves n its ultimate moment of liberation.

Congratulations!

Erandi Sharmila De Silva Nominated for The Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Boston, MA SANTA BARBARA,CA Erandi Sharmila De Silva, at San Marcos High School of Santa Barbara is a Delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Lowell, MA on June 25-27, 2016.

The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

Erandi Sharmila De Silva was nominated by Dr. Robert Darling, the Medical Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent California based on her academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.

During the three-day Congress, Erandi Sharmila De Silva will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what to expect in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learned about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.

“This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical scientists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” said Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. “Focused, bright and determined students like Erandi Sharmila De Silva are our future and she deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give her.”

The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy offers are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more.

The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C. and with offices in Boston, MA, the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists.

Zoolander 2 eve of her departure for America. As Ellis sets sail, however, the film’s colors brighten and deepen and the story accumulates glories of composition and striking period details. Brooklyn is indeed a strong woman’s film, but it’s also a glowing testament to America’s meaning.

Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer star as small-town neighbors whose love is tested when tragic events intervene.

The Finest Hours (117 mins.; PG-13) This historical drama tells of the true story of two oil tankers that are split in half by a severe nor’easter in 1952 and the rescue that followed. Casey Affleck, Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Eric Bana star.

Fairview (2D)/Metro 4 (2D) Kung Fu Panda 3 (95 mins.; PG) Po the Panda (voiced by Jack Black) is back. This time he is reunited with his long-lost father, who takes him to a secret panda village. There, Po must train the fun-loving bears into a fighting force.

The Lady in the Van (104 mins.; PG-13) The incomparable Dame Maggie Smith stars as a woman living in her van who makes an unlikely connection with the man whose driveway she decides to park her car in.

Plaza de Oro Pride & Prejudice & Zombies (107 mins.; PG-13)

Based on a book by Seth GrahameSmith, this movie melds seemingly unmatchable highbrow and lowbrow motifs, with florid feelings-talk following fight scenes. Like the title alone, the movie itself is patently hilarious, an absurd concept initially delightful to behold. However, the joke can only go so far until it proves no richer than a title, a misfortune perhaps especially weighty given Jane Austen’s emphasis on the concealing power of countenances.

What you see is what you get: Pride and Prejudice, and also a zombie film, yoked together by circumstance but not wedded as one. (RD) Camino Real/Fiesta 5 The Revenant (156 mins.; R) The Revenant opens thrillingly with a quasi-military fur-trapping march suddenly invaded by Indians we barely see.

O Star Wars: The Force Awakens (135 mins.; PG-13) What’s best about the new Star Wars movie is that it isn’t just for white boys anymore. The new maestro, J.J. Abrams, puts a strong, principled woman and a black man equally gifted in the morally awake department in the central roles. Yet it never feels as if some quota of inclusiveness was invoked. But my favorite aspect of the new Star Wars universe is that it’s funny again. It’s also dark enough to fit the Lucas cosmology.

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): “Love is a fire,” declared Aries actress Joan Crawford. “But whether it’s going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.”

I disagree with her conclusion. There are practical steps you can take to ensure that love’s fire warms but doesn’t burn. Start with these strategies: Suffuse your libido with compassion. Imbue your romantic fervor with empathy. Instill your animal passions and instinctual longings with affectionate tenderness. If you catch your sexual urges driving you toward narcissists who are no damn good for you, firmly redirect those sexual urges toward emotionally intelligent, selfresponsible beauties.

(June 21 - July 22): “No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved,” wrote author Mignon McLaughlin. I think that may be true. The gap between what we yearn for and what we actually get is never fully closed. Nevertheless, I suggest that you strive to refute McLaughlin’s curse in the coming days.

Why? Because you now have an enhanced capacity to love the people you care about in ways they want to be loved. So be experimental with your tenderness. Take the risk of going beyond what you’ve been willing or able to give before. Trust your fertile imagination to guide your ingenious empathy.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): “Only love interests me,” declared painter Marc Chagall, “and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.” That seems like an impossibly high standard. Our daily adventures bring us into proximity with loveless messes all the time. It’s hard to focus on love to the exclusion of all other concerns. But it’s a worthy goal to strive toward Chagall’s ideal for short bursts of time. And the coming weeks happen to be a favorable phase for you to do just that.

Your success may be partial, but dramatic nonetheless.

TAURUS

(July 23 - Aug. 22): Here’s the counsel of French writer Anatole France: “You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.” What he says is always true, but it’s especially apropos for you Leos in the coming weeks. You now have a special talent for learning more about love by loving deeply, excitedly, and imaginatively. To add further nuance and inspiration, meditate on this advice from author Aldous Huxley: “There isn’t any formula or method. You learn to love by loving — by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.”

(Apr. 20 - May 20): Fifteenth-century writer Thomas à Kempis thought that real love can arouse enormous fortitude in the person who loves. “Love feels no burden,” he wrote. “It attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.” As you might imagine, the “real love” he was referring to is not the kind that’s motivated by egotism, power drives, blind lust, or insecurity. I think you know what I mean, Taurus, because in the past few months you have had unprecedented access to the primal glory that Thomas referred to. And in the coming months you will have even more. What do you plan to do with all that mojo?

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Gemini novelist Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) was fascinated in “life with the lid on and what happens when the lid comes off.” She knew both states from her own experience. “When you love someone,” she mused about the times the lid had come off, “all your saved-up wishes start coming out.”

In accordance with the astrological omens, I propose that you engage in the following three-part exercise.

First, identify a part of your life that has the lid tightly clamped over it. Second, visualize the suppressed feelings and saved-up wishes that might pour forth if you took the lid off. Third, do what it takes to love someone so well that you’ll knock the lid off.

LEO

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): “I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you,’” said author Maya Angelou. She concludes: “There is an African saying: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” With this in mind, I invite you to take inventory of the allies and relatives whose relationships are most important to you. How well do they love themselves? Is there anything you could do to help them upgrade their love for themselves? If their self-love is lacking, what might you do to protect yourself from that problem?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love,” said Mahatma Gandhi. “It is the prerogative of the brave.” That’s my challenge to you, Scorpio.

In accordance with the astrological currents, I urge you to stoke your uninhibited audacity so you can press onward toward the frontiers of intimacy. It’s not enough to be wilder, and it’s not enough to be freer. To fulfill love’s potential in the next chapter of your story, you’ve got to be wilder, freer, and bolder.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): “It is not lack of love but lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages,” said Friedrich Nietzsche. He believed that if you want to join your fortunes with another’s, you should ask yourself whether you will enjoy your conversations with this person for the next 30 years — because that’s what you’ll be doing much of the time you’re together. How do you measure up to this gold standard, Sagittarius?

What role does friendship play in your romantic adventures? If there’s anything lacking, now is an excellent time to seek improvements. Start with yourself, of course. How could you infuse more camaraderie into the way you express love? What might you do to upgrade your skills as a conversationalist?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): “Love isn’t something you find,” says singer Loretta Lynn. “Love is something that finds you.” Singer Kylie Minogue concurs: “You need a lot of

luck to find people with whom you want to spend your life. Love is like a lottery.” I think these perspectives are at best misleading, and at worst debilitating. They imply we have no power to shape our relationship with love. My view is different. I say there’s a lot we can do to attract intimate allies who teach us, stimulate us, and fulfill us. Like what? (1) We clarify what qualities we want in a partner, and we make sure that those qualities are also healthy for us. (2) We get free of unconscious conditioning that’s at odds with our conscious values. (3) We work to transform ourselves into lovable collaborators who communicate well. Anything else?

What can you do to make sure love isn’t a lottery?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): “We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime,” writes Chuck Klosterman. “It’s easy. But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. You’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years.” He concludes,“A lover like this sets the template for what you will always love about other people.” I suspect that you have either recently met or will soon meet such a person, Aquarius. Or else you are on the verge of going deeper than ever before with an ally you have known for a while. That’s why I think what happens in the next six months will put an enduring stamp on your relationship with intimacy.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Sixteenth-century Italian poet Torquato Tasso described one of love’s best blessings. He said your lover can reunite you with “a piece of your soul that you never knew was missing.” You Pisceans are in a phase when this act of grace is more possible than usual. The revelatory boon may emerge because of the chemistry stirred up by a sparkly new affiliation.

Or it may arise thanks to a familiar relationship that is entering unfamiliar territory.

Administer of Estate NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ALEXANDRA JANE NOBLE aka JANIE NOBLE NO: 16PR00049 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of ALEXANDRA JANE NOBLE A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: MICHAEL DITMORE in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA BARBARA THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MICHAEL DITMORE be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 03/17/2016 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

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

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

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

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

Status: On the market

FEBRUARY 11, 2016

here is nothing conventional about the house for sale at 2507 Mesa School Lane.

If you prefer formal or predictable surroundings, you don’t need to spend any time on this listing. But if, like me, your preferences tend toward quirky abodes with interesting details, then take a look. You’re going to love it.

This house is 1,044 square feet small. The word cozy is often used to describe houses of this size. It has two bedrooms and one bathroom. We made do with one bathroom all the years that my sons were growing up, and as the only “girl” in the household, I’ll admit that there were times that some additional makeup and prep space would’ve been a niceto-have. But we made it through all those years just fine. It was — there’s that word again — cozy.

This home has enough style to more than make up for the lack of space. It feels like a hideaway, partly because it is literally hiding behind a hedge. Knotty pine paneling features prominently in both bedrooms and the kitchen, giving it a woodsy cabin feeling. The living room has a brick fireplace along one wall with a heavy custom-wood mantel above it. An adjacent wall contains a collection of windows of various sizes grouped together to artistically frame and showcase the view into the backyard. In addition to the windows that bring the outside in, there are skylights throughout the house, including a large one in the bathroom. The bathroom is tiled in a bold gold and blue motif straight from the ’70s.

The backyard is a private haven complete with a fenced koi pond and a large area made up of slate stepping stones with grass peeking through in between. As inviting as the yard is, you’re just steps away from one of the best backyards in Santa Barbara: The Douglas Family Preserve is less than a block away. Some of us locals will insist on calling it the Wilcox Property for years to come, but by any name it’s one of the most picturesque open spaces in town. Mesa School Lane dead-ends at the park’s back entrance, providing miles of walking trails, a dramatic view down onto Hendry’s beach, and a place to socialize with the neighbors. Having the great outdoors as your other backyard somehow makes this cozy home feel plenty big enough.

ermany, the powerhouse of Europe, has led the clean-energy transformation through carefully drafted laws and regulations. California, the Golden State, has powered its renewable energy transformation through a culture of experimentation and entrepreneurship. And while Germany and California have very different cultures, they both share one overarching goal: to develop climate-friendly solutions and programs to curb carbon emissions. Recognizing this common goal, they have become close collaborators, sharing their ideas, successes, and best practices with each other and others around the world.

With nearly 83 million people, Gerby Dennis Allen many has more than twice the population of California. Both are expanding their clean power, especially from wind and solar, to ensure that it accounts for more than a third of all energy generated by 2025. Both want to slash their carbon emissions to 80 percent of 1990 levels by 2050. In spite of these similarities, there are profound differences that reflect their unique cultures, the makeup of their power grids, and the role of government in determining energy policy.

The Germans are amazed at the boundary-pushing culture in California, where risk-taking is almost the norm, supported by navigable corporate laws and abundant venture capital, all of which have created the playing field for the state’s energy transition. Such a laissez-faire approach would be unthinkable in Germany. Policy makers in California, on the other hand, must sometimes envy the amount of control Germany has over renewables and the grid.

The German transformation has been led by detailed government policy.

Starting in 2000, the German energy program (called a feed-in tariff) began offering generous payments to anyone generating power through solar, wind, or biomass. But by law, that power had to be fed into the grid. This program is widely viewed as having created a big push to make renewables attractive and more affordable on the global scene. Renewable generators have to share information about how much power they plan to generate so that utility operators can forecast and plan accurately.“Smart” meters that gather and relay energy information are common in Germany and will be required as of this year.

Germany’s policies, however, have come at a price to its citizens: Household monthly power bills have more than doubled since 2000. California, by contrast, has avoided a steep jump in customers’ utility bills through stringent conservation measures and by inclusive planning involving industry, utilities, and the Public Utilities Commission.

In spite of differences in approach, Germany and California have closely shared their lessons and are serving as learning laboratories for the rest of the world. Perhaps most impressive, both have managed to grow their economies while moving aggressively to transform their energy sectors.

in California. The city’s new public library receives prominent mention. He also includes a map of the county.

As may be expected, Wood promotes the healthful benefits of the region’s climate.

What is most curious to modern-day readers is his touting of the oil slicks floating off offshore being of medicinal value as they are “acting as a disinfecting agent with prevailing sea breezes.” Agriculture gets much play, as Wood compares the region to Palestine, quoting from Deuteronomy to make his point. He boasts of the richness of the soil, which supports everything from walnuts to grain to grapevines to silkworms.

He includes a fairly lengthy discussion of earthquakes, pointing out that tremors do occur but that hardly any damage is ever inflicted.“The destruction of life in the whole state cannot be compared with that caused by eating … that American compound called pie.” He goes on to point out to Easterners that dying from sunstroke in New York City is a much greater threat than death due to earthquake.

The booklet sold for 50 cents, and today there are only a handful of copies extant.

Although hardly objective in tone, this rare item gives a fascinating glimpse into South Coast life as it was lived more than 140 years ago.

his simple, one-story, Italianate-style cottage with drought-resistant landscaping blends well into the friendly, mixed residential district near Santa Barbara High School, where Italian stone pine trees form a canopy over the street.

In 1867 the City of Santa Barbara sold Lot 13 in Block 121 to laborer Martin Feliz. Sometime during the next 17 years, the property was bought by A.B. Williams, secretary and manager of the gas and electric light works. Williams then sold it in 1885 to real estate and fire insurance agent Clio L. Lloyd and his wife. It was either the Lloyds or the new owner, Mary C. F. Hall-Wood, an editor for Santa Barbara’s Daily Independent (which was in publication 1883-1901), who built the cottage in 1888. Records from the Santa Barbara County Assessor’s Office in 1888 indicate that Hall-Wood lived in the home and that the total cash value of all improved property on Lot 13 was $1,900. Upon her death in 1900, the home was acquired by Alfred C. Hall, proprietor of the Santa Barbara Electrical Works.

It is challenging to verify ownership between 1900 (Hall) and 1961 (Anna Raich), as the county title records have missing gaps. However, city directories during the time span indicate a variety of people residing at the property, and it is speculated the home was used as a rental during this 61-year period. One of the occupants during this time was Calvin Long, who operated his tool-sharpening business from the site.

In 1975, ownership changed hands from Raich to Emma Hubbard. The following year, 1976, it was acquired by Edwin Quackenbush, yet within a few months, it was purchased by Chester and Margaret Lockhart of Santa Ana, whose plans were to use the home as a rental until they retired. Margaret Lockhart’s estate sold the property in January 2006 to Joseph Laranetta for $849,000. Nearly three years later, in December 2008, the present owners acquired the home for $755,000 from CitiMortgage, Inc. Although the residence has had various owners in its 128-year history, it has not had any significant alterations.

small booklet appeared toward the end of 1872, Guide to Santa Barbara, Town and County by E.N. Wood, printed

by E.N. Wood and A.W. Sefton, Job Printers. Not only was it the first book published here, but it was also one of the earliest promotional books for any town in Southern California.

The 1870s were an important transitional period in our city’s history. The economy became more diversified and more tied into the national economy with the completion of Stearns Wharf in 1872.

The importance of tourism grew; the city’s first luxury hotel, the Arlington, opened in 1875. Wood’s booklet reflected these trends, aimed at visitors, both those passing through and possible settlers.

Wood was a transplanted Vermonter who had served for a time as a surgeon in the navy.

He then slowly began working his way west, finally settling in Santa Barbara in 1870. He had come here, as so many did, for his health, just the sort of person for whom he would write his book.

Wood dropped the practice of medicine and went to work as an editor for the Santa Barbara Press. In August 1872, Wood left the Press and, with Sefton, founded the Santa Barbara Index, a partisan journal of the Democratic Party featuring poetry penned

by Wood’s wife, Mary. This new venture was short-lived, for on October 14, 1874, Wood died of consumption; the healthful benefits of this area were of no avail.

Wood’s unabashed tone of boosterism reflects the optimism of the 1870s. He describes the city of 3,500 and the county of 10,000 souls (which included presentday Ventura County) in glowing terms. The county had doubled in population in the last five years. He points out that Santa Barbara is one of the most inexpensive places to live in a state that is one of the most inexpensive in the union. Times have indeed changed.

Wood lists the lodging amenities the city has to offer, including the Upham, now the city’s oldest hotel, then a boardinghouse.

Wood also mentions the St. Charles, which, as the Alpheus Thompson adobe, had been one of the first Monterey-style adobes built

One of the more iconic communities on the entire California coast, Summerland rises like a knife blade out of the sea, its steep ridge covered in colorful, cute bungalows that stare directly at the ocean.

At the bottom of the ridge, along Highway 101, is the commercial corridor of Via Real, where a few restaurants, coffee shops, garden stores, antique shops, and bed-and-breakfasts serve locals and tourists alike. A quick walk through Lookout Park drops onto the sprawling Summerland Beach, while a two-minute drive down the coast reaches the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, home to exciting polo matches all summer long.

A container-based project in the Funk Zone that adds features for retail, wine tasting, and galleries, and the MOXI Santa Barbara children’s museum, which will be the first LEED museum in Santa Barbara n County.

Perfect For

Retirees, professionals young and old, vacation homeowners, and anyone seeking a small-town beachside vibe.

Around the Area

A small grid of streets that cling to the a seaside ridge overlooking Highway 101 and the Pacific Ocean, Summerland was founded as a community for a religious sect known as Spiritualists in the 1880s.

Because of that, the tiny town retains a somewhat mystical vibe and attracts those who are open to the more magical ways of the world. Of course the cute bungalows, small-town setting, and twominute walk to the beach tend to attract most everyone else, as well, and everything you need can be found along the rather thriving commercial hub of Via

“Our battle cry has been exceeding all expectations,” explains Josh Blumer. “We are highly interested in what is good design. We all have to struggle with what that is and then try to get there.”

The Funk Zone area where The Lark complex now exists was previously fenced off and ignored before AB Studio designed an adaptive reuse plan to create the feeling of new life in a curated retail space. “We really wanted to bring a lot of richness to the project,” said Blumer, who aims to have each project he works on find its own voice without it being the byproduct of an egotistical point of view.

He credits that project’s developer for putting a lot of thought into what would work to create a “scene” around the new space.

“Each different component and lease had an impact on the overall success of the

project,” said Blumer. “There was no accident in how the place turned out.”

As for “container urbanism,” Clay Aurell said that the firm has been playing around with the idea of using large shipping containers in urban designs for years. The studio has had several clients request such designs, which Aurell says often save money and naturally add a sustainability concept into a project. “The trade deficit has caused there to be a lot of containers in the United States that do not have a destination,” said Blumer, explaining that these containers are plentiful throughout California.

In collaboration with CubeDepot, a Santa Barbara company that supThe Lark plies containers, AB Design created an office project with a patio for the Dwell on Design show in Los Angeles. “It being built from is easily recyclable,” said was a lot of fun, and we got a lot of great Blume about another bonus to this design. response from it,” said Aurell. “Ultimately “Most buildings get recycled, which isn’t we’d like to find a way to market and sell really on people’s radar.” That’s especially them.” He said the modular containers are true as new construction materials are inherently fun for architects to play with, dwindling, so these adaptive reuse conexplaining, “They are very sturdy, strong, cepts are a sustainable step in the right and regular.You can stack them and do all direction.

Situated geographically between Montecito and Carpinteria, Summerland shows off the best parts of those two adjacent communities, offering the walkability and beach access of Carp along with the swanky, artsy sentiments of ’Cito’s Coast Village Road — but it wasn’t always that way. From the 1890s until the 1920s, the entire stretch of Summerland’s coast was dominated by oil rigs. Though

they are far offshore today, these “crystal ships,” as The Doors’ Jim Morrison called them, are still visible, twinkling somewhat magically at night.

Today, about 1,500 people live in roughly 700 households; about 20 percent are families, and another 20 percent are retired. A great debate would be whether one’s money is better spent on a burger at The Nugget or a glass of pinot noir at Summerland Winery, but all would agree that the polo matches at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club just down the street are worth at least one summer day. n
