The Channel Islands offshore of Santa Barbara are places Matt Kettmann (below) and Tyler Hayden (above) know well, though both are Northern California natives. Matt gave his son the middle name of Carrington, in romantic memory of his proposal to his wife on Santa Rosa Island’s Carrington Point during one of many trips out there. Tyler’s visited several of the nearby islands, covering issues such as unexploded ordnance, panga boats, and rats.

This week they both look at the story behind the documentary West of the West.

OUT OF SIGHT: County Jail inmates with psychiatric disorders are frequently neglected, a new report claims.

‘subject to Neglect’

Report Says Mentally-Ill Jail Inmates Are Often Mistreated

L

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

ast April marked the first time an outside group inspected the County Jail since 2007. The highly anticipated — and largely damning — findings made public this week criticize the amount of time inmates are placed in small, windowless “safety cells,” or “rubber rooms,” as they’re known.

“The county is a real outlier in California and nationally with this practice,” said Melinda Bird, an attorney with Disability Rights California, the state-mandated advocacy group seeking to protect the rights of inmates with mental-health disabilities. Most jails do not hold inmates in a safety cell for more than a few hours, Bird said; Disability Rights found inmates with mental illness and behavior problems were housed in safety cells for “three days at a time on a repeated basis” and that custody staff confirmed placement was “not temporary.”

Other problems that the 26-page report stressed include out-of-cell time, access to mental-health medications, a high percentage of pretrial detainees, delays in responding to requests, and inmates sleeping on the floor, among others. It concluded there is “probable cause” that “prisoners with disabilities are subject to neglect.” Sheriff Bill Brown, whom the group called “forward-looking,” flatly disagreed.“We recognize there are areas for improvement,” he said in an email, “but to say that inmates are being neglected or abused is an unfair, unjust, and inflammatory statement.”

As for safety cell protocols, Brown said he is reviewing policy to decrease the time inside and provide more contact with mental-health professionals. He noted, however, they are in compliance with state law. (Brown added Crisis and Recovery Emergency Services is called 8

in within 72 hours for mentally-ill inmates.)

Regardless of state laws, Bird argued, her first priority is upholding civil rights.

Populations of county jails surged after realignment—state prisoners were relocated to county jails — was enacted in 2011, causing widespread overcrowding. That, coupled with the fact that the Santa Barbara County Jail has been haphazardly remodeled three times since it was built in 1971, makes for an infrastructure and operational nightmare. Brown often invokes the structural problem to argue for the new 376-bed northern branch jail project, slated to be up and running by 2018.

In the past three years, Disability Rights won legal battles against Fresno and Los Angeles counties for dangerous conditions in their jails, Bird said. Asked if she anticipated filing legal action against Santa Barbara County, she said,“I dearly hope not.” In March, the group will conduct more on-site visits as part of an “intensive targeted investigation.”

The grim report goes beyond blaming the building woes and faults people. During the April inspection, Bird said, a custody deputy did not even open the small Plexiglas window when he checked on an inmate who had been placed in a safety cell the night before.

The report states the officer stepped up to the clipboard, made a notation on the log hanging on the door, and walked away.“It reflected disgrace,” Bird said. “To me it suggested that this was pretty common.” (The log had “terse” notes on it such as “breathing” and “awake.”)

Brown said in a written rebuttal that mental-health staff evaluates prisoners in safety cells twice each day. (Disability Rights said that practice was not confirmed in the records they reviewed.) Brown added custody staff is made up of “caring, dedicated, hard-working professionals who provide a vital public safety

service.” He added,“While we are proud of the work being done at the jail, we always seek to improve.”

Disability Rights also had a poor review for Corizon Health Inc., the correctional healthcare firm scrutinized last fall by county supervisors and mental-health advocates, namely Families ACT! One inmate interviewed, the report found, had been placed in a safety cell four or five times in the past month. During that time, he did not see a mental-health provider or receive a response to his medication request.

Patients on a psychiatric hold — also known as 5150 holds—were left in the cells for the entire 72-hour duration of the hold without access to mental-health treatment, the report states; attorneys reported this happens frequently.

California Disabilities recommended protocol that identifies all prisoners who are on mental-health medication or otherwise require treatment during initial booking.

Under current policy, Brown said, inmates are seen by mental health or medical personnel if they answer “yes” to medical or mental health questions during intake. An additional nurse was recently hired to assist with medical screenings, Brown added.

Another problem identified was lack of out-of-cell time. Even though prisoners are offered three hours of recreation time per week and a few-minute shower every other day—in compliance with state law—that still amounts to solitary confinement for inmates.

“In the past,” Bird said, “you’d talk to people in jail, and they’d say ‘I can’t wait to get to prison.’ Why is that? It’s because there had been two lawsuits against the state prison system. We haven’t done that parallel work in n county jails.”

Saul Hernandez-Chavez (pictured), 22, of Santa Barbara, was arrested 2/17, one week after his DNA was matched with evidence taken after the rape of a female employee at a Goleta massage parlor on 11/17/15. A male client reportedly “overpowered” and “forcibly raped” the employee after she refused his demand for sex, said the Sheriff’s Office. CODIS — the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System — linked Hernandez-Chavez to the case.

A 5th grader walking to Kellogg Elementary School around 7:45 a.m. on 2/23 told school officials she saw a man “committing a lewd act” in the driver’s seat of a white Nissan Altima near Berkeley Road. Tracing the car’s license plate number, which the student had memorized, Sheriff’s deputies arrested its owner, Jose Figueroa, 43, at his home on the 100 block of Dearborn Place in Goleta for indecent exposure, committing a lewd act, and harassing a minor.

Alan Charles Hunterman, 57, a Santa Barbara street person and an Indiana native, died near the carousel at Chase Palm Park on the rainy afternoon of 2/17. Emergency personnel found Hunterman — who city police say had recently been treated for an illness at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital — dead inside his sleeping bag. His death is being investigated as due to natural causes.

The county’s Civil Grand Jury released a 2/16 report faulting the Sheriff’s Office parking-ticket program for its lack of easy-pay options. Stemming from an outdated contract between the agency and a private vendor tasked with processing the citations, the inefficiencies have caused an unknown number of paid tickets to be sent to debt-collection agencies. Calling for contract review, evaluation of the vendor, and a pay-by-cash option, the Grand Jury gave the Sheriff’s Office two months to respond.

UCSB Professor of Film & Media Studies Dr. Constance Penley testified against the state’s proposal to require the use of condoms, goggles, and rubber gloves in adult films at Cal/OSHA’s Standards Board meeting on 2/18. “I believe these regulations are akin to the draconian voter-suppression measure enacted to address the nonexistent problem of voter impersonation at polls,” said Penley, who since 1993 has

La Casa de Debt

Facing foreclosure and a mountain of debt, the Board of Directors of longtime community center La Casa de la Raza filed for bankruptcy last week. The strategy’s “immediate advantage,” according to attorney Matt Clarke, was to slam the brakes on efforts to foreclose on the nonprofit’s Lower Eastside multipurpose building while providing breathing room to sort out mounting money troubles.

Specifically, La Casa is trying to get out from under Tomas Castelo, who, through his company, MLG Leasing, Inc., purchased the struggling nonprofit’s loan note from Fidelity Mortgage Lenders last fall for approximately $525,000. Initially, La Casa reached out to Castelo, and, as one of its original founders 45 years ago, he was happy to help. Unfortunately, according to Clarke, Castelo promptly changed his tune, making unreasonable demands and making motions to replace the board. “Castelo is not anything other than a lender,” Clarke said. “He doesn’t get to dictate who’s on the board. Lenders don’t get to meddle.”

Castelo said he attempted to work with the board to make La Casa more fiscally responsible but was met with resistance, especially when he asked that the board open up its bookkeeping records and reveal any silent lenders who may have helped La Casa in the past. “[The bankruptcy] can actually be an advantage to the community,” Castelo stated in an email, “in that it will require that the board submit the detailed financial information that we have been trying to obtain all along in order to properly evaluate the true extent of their financial distress and other impediments to their fiscal revival.”

Castelo’s recent move toward foreclosure and public auction of La Casa’s 26,000-square-foot building, located at 601 East Montecito Street, was called a “hostile takeover” in a press release. “The property is worth a great deal more than the face value of the loan,” Clarke added. “In essence, [Castelo] is attempting to seize a landmark historic institution in our community for a tiny purchase price.“ Castelo said La Casa now owes him upward of $600,000. He added that the bankruptcy court could allow La Casa’s “major assets to come under the control of a more fiscally responsible entity that would … promote [its] mission statement [and] the self-sufficiency of the building as an asset for the entire community instead of the small group that currently controls it primarily for their own benefit.”

On top of La Casa’s battle with Castelo, the building itself, while upgraded in recent years, remains “a physical challenge,” said Board President Marisela Marquez, who’s been involved with La Casa since 2001. Making matters worse, she added, for years the property’s tax-exempt status remained in question, with tax bills mounting accordingly. Earlier this month, however, Santa Barbara County’s assessor’s office wrapped up its reevaluation of the property, and La Casa “will be reimbursed” for overpayments in the past, Marquez said. In the meantime, the bankruptcy filing “will not affect programming, and direct services offered through [La Casa] will continue,” Clarke said. In coordination with the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), La Casa is hosting an immigration forum February 25 at 6:30 p.m.

WHO’S TO BLAME? PHMSA’s Marie Therese Dominguez addresses the media with Congressmember Lois Capps and county officials.

Plain as Mud Report Suggests More Fault in Refugio Oil Spill

A

by k e L s e y b r u g g e r

long-awaited report on last May’s Refugio Oil Spill found Plains All American Pipeline workers waited 89 minutes after discovering the leak to notify the National Response Center (NRC), and that the company had drastically underestimated the amount of corrosion in the broken line. In addition, the feds found Plains failed to take precautions necessary to prevent its insulated Line 901 from deteriorating.

The preliminary yet detailed findings offer a glimpse into what went wrong on May 19, 2015, when an estimated 124,320 gallons of crude oil spilled near Refugio Road, with an estimated 20,000 gallons reaching the Pacific Ocean.

At the behest of Congressmember Lois Capps, Marie Therese Dominguez, top administrator for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), hand delivered the report to Santa Barbara media last Wednesday. Standing beneath the courthouse archway in misty rain with a number of PHMSA representatives, Dominguez said the report “contains the facts we have to date,” but declined to draw conclusions about the “ongoing investigation.” Upon further review, the 12-page report is chockfull of potentially significant details. The final version, expected in May, could fault its workers or impose hefty penalties.

As a practical matter, it is unclear if the 89-minute lag time contributed to a delay in cleanup response from the U.S. Coast Guard, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and state agencies. PHMSA believes the leak started at 10:55 a.m., according to Plains’ Midland-based control room’s SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system.

Two minutes later, SCADA reported a significant drop in pressure—about 500 pounds per square inch (psig)—at Las Flores Pump Station. But it was not until 11:29 a.m. that the Plains controller issued a stop command to the Las Flores pump. independent.com

Notably, at 11:22 a.m., SCADA registered that the pipeline-leak-monitoring system, which calculates the imbalance between volumetric meters along the pipeline, was turned off. The record is “still being investigated,” the report states.

At the time of the spill, federal law did not specify a time limit for pipeline operators to notify the NRC. About a month after the spill, PHMSA proposed a new rule that would require pipeline operators to notify the NRC “at the earliest practical moment following the confirmed discovery of an accident or incident” but “no later than one hour following confirmed discovery.”

PHMSA found an inspection made two weeks before the spill underestimated Line 901’s corrosion by half. The so-called “smart pig” test found 47 percent of the pipeline’s metal wall had worn away. But when PHMSA’s metallurgical experts extracted and studied the broken pipe, they found 86 percent had corroded.

Experts note smart pigs can be inaccurate for a variety of reasons. In fact, the first two-mile stretch of Line 901 “was found to be incomplete and not useable for [inline inspection] analysis,” the report stated. Oil companies will often run multiple inspection gauges each time they test pipelines, mandated every five years by federal law. Plains apparently ran only one.

“We’ve been pushing for more inspections,” said Environmental Defense Center (EDC) Chief Counsel Linda Krop,“but if they are using tools that aren’t accurate, [they are not useful].”

A Plains spokesperson declined to comment on the report, citing the ongoing investigation.“… We remain committed to working with PHMSA and other public officials and stakeholders to use the findings and observations … to enhance our procedures and processes … [and] improve practices industrywide,” she said.

years, according to PHMSA’s analysis. In 2007, inspection results showed two incidents of metal loss greater than 60 percent and 12 occurrences of less than 60 percent.

By 2015, the results showed 14 incidents of corrosion with more than 60 percent metal loss and 80 incidents with 60 percent or less; two had greater than 80 percent. Federal law necessitates immediate action at 80 percent corrosion. (It is worth noting the results from the 2015 smart pig survey were not available to Plains by the date of the spill.)

Line 901 had “protection levels that typically are sufficient to protect non-insulated, coated steel pipeline,” the report states. “Line 901 and 903, however, are insulated.” Because the crude oil traveling through it is viscous, the pipeline was heated and insulated. But that insulation also trapped moisture on the exterior of the pipe. It is rare for a pipeline to be insulated, according to county energy staff.

Meanwhile, Plains filed paperwork last week to cancel its tariff with the Federal

Kevin Drude (pictured), deputy director of the county’s Energy & Minerals Division, retired last week (on his 62nd birthday) after nearly 26 years with the county. Drude started as a county planner in 1990 after working as an exotic dancer in Los Angeles while pursuing a degree in anthropology at UCLA. Tasked with the difficult job of appeasing both environmentalists and oil-industry representatives, Drude, by many accounts, earned the respect of the conflicting sides.

In an interview, Drude reflected on the evolution of oil production in Santa Barbara County, projects on the horizon, and the potential for positive change since the Refugio Oil Spill. “It’s a new era,” he said. Read more at independent.com.

Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as Line 901 — and the 130-mile pipeline connected to it, Line 903 — is currently shut down. (Both have been defunct since the spill. Line 901 was purged of crude; Line 903 is in the process of purging and should be empty within two months.) County planners, political staffers, and observers have scratched their heads for a week about what this could mean. To date, no one knows for sure.

A Plains spokesperson did not return requests for comment about the filings with FERC, which could change its interstate designation (meaning it crosses state boundaries) to intrastate (within the state). Currently, Line 901 terminates in Kern County; it does not actually cross state boundaries. Its interstate designation dates back to its original construction. That minute detail could subject it to tougher in-state regulations, including one drafted by Assemblymember Das Williams and State Senator HannahBeth Jackson after the spill. n

County, the central and south coasts of California, and Redding. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife believes bird feces or fluids contaminated with salmonella bacteria left at bird feeders by other wild birds, which invariably carry the bacteria in their gut, could be spreading the disease. Residents are asked to report dead birds to state Fish and Wildlife and ill birds to a Santa Barbara wildlife center.

County Agricultural Commissioner Cathy Fisher this month combined the jobs of two full-time PhD scientists in her department, demoting one of them to a lowerpaying position. During budget hearings last June, Fisher convinced the county supervisors that the biologists on her staff could perform the initial screening of pests and plant diseases at a lower cost than the specialists, and, if necessary, email photos to state labs for identification. But the county’s own agricultural advisory committee and a number of nursery owners, arborists, landscapers, and backyard gardeners opposed the plan, saying it would cause delays, reduce services, drive up their costs, and result in the loss of regional historical knowledge.

ELECtION Supervisor Salud Carbajal, who has significantly outpaced all 11 candidates in fundraising in their congressional campaigns, has between $35,001 and $80,000 in credit card debt, according to financial disclosure forms.

In addition, Carbajal has between $15,001 and $50,000 in student loan debt and took a $18,253 loan out of his retirement fund. In the early 1990s, he had three federal tax liens (totaling nearly $11,000) filed against him.

Carbajal said many middle-class Americans are struggling, and he is running to fight for them. “Like many families, there was a time I fell behind on paying my bills,” Carbajal said. “However, my taxes have been paid in full, and I continue to be current on all of my financial obligations.” n

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE: Santa Ynez water boardmember Kevin Walsh is worried South Coast water agencies will steal his district’s supplies.

last Drops l

War Looming over Rights to Lake Cachuma Water

W

by N i C K W e l s h

hile atheists are famous for avoiding foxholes, no believers are to be found in any of the South Coast’s five water agencies when it comes to the Baby Jesus of this year’s El Niño. With weather forecasters predicting little to no rain for the next 10 days, water managers are at each other’s throats over new emergency maneuvers to secure supplies for the coming months.

The Santa Ynez water districts are accusing South Coast agencies of trying to “steal” water in Lake Cachuma; South Coast managers insist they’re seeking only what they accumulated over time by conservation and direct purchase. After a meeting went precipitously south this Monday, the Santa Barbara City Council weighed into the fracas, throwing about some heavily charged language. Councilmember Gregg Hart said he was “incredulous” over Santa Ynez’s pursuit of its “selfish interests” and accused the downstream agency of “active sabotage.”

Under contention is an effort to move the lake’s barge and pump — a $6 million emergency “straw” through which all water has been sucked since Cachuma’s post-drought levels plunged — into deeper waters. For the pump to be moved, a unanimous vote of the five member agencies making up the Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board — better known as COMB — is required. Given the bad blood, it remains questionable whether such unanimity can be achieved by March 7. That’s the drop-dead date to get the barge moved one mile west — and 6,000 feet of new pipe laid— laid by July 1, when it will be urgently needed.

If the rains don’t come and the barge doesn’t move, Kelley Dyer, water supply manager for the City of Santa Barbara, said her department wouldn’t be able to make deliveries to customers living in Santa Barbara’s upland neighborhoods. These customers are now served by a gravityfed network of pipes that flow out of Lake Cachuma to the city’s Cater Water Treatment Plant located in San Roque. Well water would not be available as a substitute. An untold number of north-slope residents served by the Goleta, Montecito, and Carpinteria water districts would be similarly

left high and dry. “It would be catastrophic,” Dyer said. “It’s what keeps me up at night.”

If the barge isn’t moved, South Coast interests contend they will also be cut off from access to state water, currently the only source rejuvenating the lake. Without massive purchases from rice farmers north of the Bay Area delta, the current drought would have inflicted far more violence. This coming year, South Coast agencies are hoping to buy 10,000 acre-feet.

The bone of contention isn’t money; it’s ancient history come alive. Santa Ynez agencies won’t pay a penny of the $790,000 it will cost to move the barge and lay the pipe, but under COMB’s bylaws, they have the power to veto the project. At a COMB subcommittee last week, Santa Ynez boardmember Kevin Walsh and district manager Bruce Wales outlined a litany of slights, gripes, and affronts causing them to doubt whether South Coast agencies could be trusted not to take water out of the lake that wasn’t theirs.

Walsh has also argued that South Coast agencies have no contractual right to any water pumped out of the lake beneath 660 feet. Currently, Cachuma’s water level is at 665 feet. For the pump and barge to work, experts say it needs to be moved once the dam level hits 658 feet. Walsh took South Coast agencies — with 80 percent of the population and 80 percent of the demand— to task for acting as if the dam was theirs. The river, he pointedly reminded them, belonged to downstream interests.

Wales complained South Coast water customers hadn’t been made to sacrifice as much as their Santa Ynez counterparts. On the South Coast, he stated, lawns have gone brown; in Santa Ynez businesses and farms have been forced out of business. For any deal to be approved, Walsh said, his district needed absolutely airtight guarantees South Coast agencies wouldn’t take more than their legal entitlements.

Goleta representative Ryan Drake bristled at having to sign a document stating he wouldn’t break the law. “The law is the law,” he said. Santa Barbara water czar Josh Haggmark expressed pessimism any deal could satisfy Santa Ynez’s “absolute need” for such assurances. “I used to think we could get there,” he said. “Now I’m more confused.” n

Micheltorena Bike Lane Approval Might Be Environmentally Defective

pau l wlelm an photos

t was a very weird end to a very long night. After nearly six hours of detailed, inspired, exhausting, and mostly high-minded public policy debate over a brandnew citywide Bicycle Master Plan, the Santa Barbara City Council appeared to bestow its blessing —by a 5-2 vote — on not just the plan itself but also on the intensely controversial proposal to remove up to 100 on-street parking spaces from a four-block stretch of Micheltorena Street.

This street space would be used to create green-painted bike lanes running along both sides of Micheltorena, creating what many bicycle advocates called a crucial “spine” for the city’s bike infrastructure system. But immediately after all seven BIG FLEX: Bicycle Coalition Executive Director Ed France (left) packed the council chambers with supporters of the Bicycle Master Plan.

Even the Most Bizarre Presidential Race Still Comes Down to Convention Delegates

by J e r r y r o b e r t s OUR STORY TO DATE: So Donald Trump

picked a fight with the Pope, Hillary Clinton grossed more for a couple of Wall Street speeches than the president earns in a year, and Jeb Bush spent $130 million to achieve exactly nothing.

Sure, it’s easy to get confused about the bizarre 2016 presidential campaign, not least because of the 23 new polls that surface every day amid the constant Babel of Beltway gasbags —“He’s up! He’s down! No, he’s back up again!”

The bottom line, however, is that every political campaign in the end boils down to the enduring words of the 18th-century wit and cleric Sydney Smith: “What would life be without arithmetic, but a scene of horrors?”

DELEGATE MATH: Only two numbers

matter in setting up the November election matchup between the major party nominees: 1,237 and 2,383. The former is the number of delegates to the Republican National Convention (Cleveland’s lovely in July) that a wannabe needs for the GOP nomination; the latter is the corresponding delegate tally a Democrat must win at the Donkey Party synod a week later in Philadelphia.

It’s true that only a handful of that number so far have been selected, in the four small states that have voted in the Sturm und Drang of February; hard though it may be to believe,

it’s also true that the window is already closing for party rivals to foreclose the probability of a Clinton-Trump general election showdown.

Democrats first: Bernie Sanders, the Socialist-qua-Democrat Senator from Vermont, bloodied Clinton’s nose in the New Hampshire primary and gave her a scare in the Iowa caucus, before she got back on track against him in Nevada.

Many Americans don’t trust her, not only because of her infamous speeches to Goldman Sachs, and her delegate lead at this point is nominal. But Clinton has two of what Trump would call yuuge advantages: (1) nearly 400 of the Democrats’ 712 so-called “super delegates,” elected officeholders and party hacks free to vote how they want at the convention, regardless of home primary result, are already pledged to her, compared to, let’s see, 14 for Sanders; (2) over half the delegates will be chosen next month, including the 11-state March 1 Super Tuesday voting, a lineup that the ex-Secretary of State is forecast to dominate, in part because of overwhelming support among African-Americans, a key party constituency.

Based on the popular primary vote, Democrats award delegates proportionately—not winner takes all. So Sanders insists he can keep fighting for delegates all the way to the convention; yes, he can, but within weeks, he’s likely to be buried in a deep, deep hole.

CAN TRUMP BE STOPPED? The Republican

situation is more muddled, but not much.

Despite dissing the Pope, Trump cleaned everybody’s clock in last week’s South Carolina primary and, among other things, brought Bush’s humiliating effort to a merciful end. Left standing were rookie senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, of Florida and Texas, with Ohio Governor John Kasich now a distant fourth.

Because the GOP’s Washington-based elites are terrified of wild man Trump, and despise Cruz, a shady, backstabbing opportunist with the personality of a hyena, this week’s conventional wisdom says the Republican establishment will unite behind the calculating Rubio to stop Trump.

As if.

The big problem is that Trump holds the apparently unshakeable support of conservative, white, working-class Republicans, about one-third the GOP electorate. This positions him for crucial victories in mostly Southern states that will be voting between now and the middle of March. If he cashes in on his nowrosy opinion polls, Trump would not only crush Cruz’s own Southern strategy but also build a Clinton-like delegate lead.

If Trump stumbles, Rubio would have a shot, starting on March 15. Until that date, all Republican primaries and caucuses will be proportional; after that, several large states,

Donald Trump

notably Ohio and Florida, hold winner-takesall contests, giving Rubio and the Washington elites their last best hope of stopping Hair Boy (California’s last-in-the-process June 7 primary is a hybrid contest with 172 delegates at stake).

Strange but true: The best the Anyone-butTrump brigade might now hope for is that Rubio slogs it out long and tough enough to leave the front-runner short of the 1,237 magic number, throwing the nomination open to a brokered convention, a k a The Political Reporter Relief Act of 2016.

Please join the family on Monday, February 29, 2016, at 4:00pm at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club. Casual dress encouraged.

In lieu of flowers, the family requested donations be made in Jimmy’s memory to the Page Youth Center, 4540 Hollister Avenue, Santa Barbara, CA 93108.

James Struthers Dixon 1932-2016

Jim loved his family, the produce business, hunting, ballroom dancing, ice hockey, and his Crystal Cruises all over the world with Barbara.

He and Barbara served two terms as the co-presidents of La Estrella Formal Dinner Dance Club located in Ventura. Together they shared 6 children, 8 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren, and many friends in the business and dancing communities of Santa Barbara, including his best friend Roke Fukumura, who at 93 years of age continues to work daily at Tri-County Produce.

A recent cardiac episode in November and complications after surgery led to an extended stay at Santa Barbara Serenity House, where Jim continued to display incredible fighting spirits. He received excellent compassionate care before peacefully passing away on February 5.

Jim was buried at S.B. Cemetery on Friday, February 12, with family and close friends present.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held on March 5, 2016, 11:00am, at the First Presbyterian Church of Santa Barbara, 21 East Constance Avenue. Public invited. A reception will follow.

Betty Parsons Wolf 01/27/19-02/05/16

Jim Dixon, long-time owner of TriCounty Produce in Santa Barbara with his son John, was welcomed into the joys of heaven on February 5, 2016. He was 83.

A Canadian by birth, Jim was reared on a 640-acre farm in the province of Ontario, near the town of Simcoe, where he was born in 1932. In 1962 he immigrated with his former wife, Joan, and their four young children, Cynthia, Sherry, Michael and John. Jim was very proud to become an American citizen in 2003.

He went to work for Lee Brothers Stores and the Green Grocer in the Bay Area and established a reputation for excellence and leadership in the industry. A sought-after produce manager, Jim moved to Santa Barbara in 1969 to work for Peter Jordano. He worked 18 years for Jordano’s as the company grew. He was the head produce buyer and also managed the produce foods division.

He later purchased Tri-County Produce in 1985, which was a life-long dream. He shared the ownership and operation of the produce business with his youngest son, John, who will continue on with the successful operations of Tri-County Produce.

Jim and Joan divorced, and he later married Barbara, adding her two children to the family.

Betty Wolf was born Miriam Elisabeth Parsons, on Jan. 27, 1919, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the only child of James Shoemaker Parsons and Miriam Luther Moore.

From an early age, Betty was curious about the natural world and the human body. She delighted in a bleached cow bone she found in the desert. She earned a reputation as a tomboy; trees and phone poles were no match for her agility and bravado.

Her childhood was punctuated by 34 moves as the family traveled from Colorado to California during the Great Depression in search of work.

They settled in Burbank, Calif., when her father was hired by Lockheed Aircraft Corp.

As a young woman, Betty taught crafts in a local hobby shop, but ballroom dancing became her passion, and the Hollywood Palladium and Big Band music her favorite entertainment. A black Packard was her car of choice, and she had a real eye

fEbruary 25, 2016

for fashion.

At a desert model airplane competition, she met Walter Wolf, a young aeronautical engineer fresh out of Curtiss Wright Technical Institute. Her heart took flight, and she won not only the women’s competition but also his hand in marriage on April 24, 1942. Their first child, Judith Lynn, was born in 1944, just before Walt was drafted into the U.S. Army with the 161st Combat Engineering Battalion, with whom he served in the Philippines and Occupied Japan.

At the end of the war, Walt returned safely home to Betty and embarked upon a long and successful career in aeronautical and mechanical engineering. They were blessed with two more children: Victoria Lynn in 1953 and Steven Paul in 1956. Beckoning engineering contracts took the family on a series of eight moves, including two across the country, but Walt and Betty greeted each as a new adventure. Walt’s ever-present camera and unfailing eye captured every event.

Betty’s artistic talent was evident in every home they owned, and her kitchen was a melting pot of world cuisines. The family took up rock hunting in the desert of Tucson and tide-pooling in La Jolla. Their years near the nation’s capitol in the 60’s led to weekend trips into American history with the young Vikki and Steve. In San Diego, Betty joined Toastmasters and became president of her chapter. She dabbled in drama.

In Santa Barbara, she earned her pilot’s license in Power Squadron.

She completed the “Famous Artists” correspondence course. Even her early drawings were exquisite.

In the 70s, Betty became a practitioner and then an ordained minister in the Church of Religious Science. Though she retired from the ministry some years ago, her compassionate nature remained obvious to all.

Walt concluded his engineering career with a 17-year stint at Hughes Aircraft in Southern California.

Upon his retirement in 1985, he and Betty moved to Olympia, Washington, where they relished the quiet, the fresh air, and the evergreen forest that surrounded their home.

In 1997, Betty and Walt returned to Santa Barbara to be closer to family. They emerged from retirement and embraced the opportunities that the Adult Education Program presented. Betty honed her artistic skills and took up oil painting, egg tempera, portrait painting, and beading. Walt studied writing, picture framing, singing, and Japanese brush painting.

In 2002, they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

When Walt died five years later, Betty continued her art and beading classes.“I am alone, but I’m not lonely,” she said.

She was a member of Santa Barbara Art Association, Goleta Valley Art Association, and the American Society of Portrait Artists. Her works

independent.com

were displayed in many venues in the SB area, and she completed several commissioned pieces.

In 2011, she moved to the Vista del Monte Retirement Community in Santa Barbara where she developed many new friendships. She made it her mission to make newcomers feel welcome. She listened well, dispensed love freely, and gave gentle neck massages to those in need of a soothing touch.

Betty's characteristic determination saw her through a summer illness and allowed her to return to independent living and the company of friends at Vista del Monte. She left this world gracefully and at peace, on Feb. 5, 2016, supported by her family and remarkable caregivers from Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care Santa Barbara and Right at Home.

She is survived by her daughters Judy Powell (Alan) and Vikki Duncan (Dale) of Santa Barbara; son Steve Wolf (Debbie) of Mission Viejo; and by grandchildren Joshua Paul Wolf and Sarah Elizabeth Wolf.

A Celebration of Betty’s Life will be held in the Main Lounge at Vista del Monte, 3775 Modoc Road, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27. Please wear bright colors or something whimsical to honor her spirit. Free parking is available in the back lot of the adjacent church. Follow the signs.

Contributions in her memory can be made to The Student Art Fund, c/o The Santa Barbara Foundation, 1111 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; the Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP), 5473 Overpass Road., Santa Barbara, CA 93111, or to a charity of your choice.

Carolann Rose Phillips 07/29/37-02/15/16

Carolann Rose Phillips, 78, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, teacher and friend, passed away on February 15, 2016. A celebration of her life was held on February 20, 2016, at 2:30pm in Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens. She called Santa Barbara home for 49 years and loved every minute of them.

Carolann was born on July 29, 1937, in San Francisco, California, to Bernie and Phyllis (Bon) Rossi.

The family lived in Berkeley, where Carolann and her siblings enjoyed a loving if not mischievous childhood. While attending UC Berkeley for undergraduate education, she worked at the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory, where she met her husband, Llad Phillips. They married on

June 28, 1958. The family relocated to Boston in 1962, where Carolann completed her undergraduate degree at Boston University and learned to haggle at the outdoor markets, a skill she put to good use throughout her life.

Ms. Phil began her 39-year career as a teacher in 1964 in Bolton, Mass.

Being a teacher brought Ms. Phil immense joy, and she happily shared stories and anecdotes about the students she loved so well. In 1967, the family relocated to Santa Barbara, where she joined Wilson Elementary Wildcats under Principal Frank Van Schaick and met many of her lifelong friends. In 1975, she settled at Franklin School, under Principal Blas Garza and Assistant Principal Bill Van Schaick, where she stayed for the remainder of her teaching career. Room 2 became an institution unto itself, open for any student past, present or future to drop in before or after school. Ms. Phil was an active member of the Franklin School PTA and ADK and won Santa Barbara Teacher of the Year in 1993-94.

After retiring in 2003, Carolann filled her days with jewelry making, long walks and breakfast burritos with friends, and her dog and boon companion, Scotch. She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Llad; her daughters, Jackie, Sharon, and Colleen; her five siblings, Phil, Barbara, Virginia, Bert, and Bernie; her seven grandchildren, Brian, Sarah, Kyle, Declan, Kieren, Phelan, and Gabriel; and more nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends than can be counted.

Memorial donations may be made to Transition House or the Santa Barbara chapter of ADK.

One of the Greatest Generation

remembered by many as a judge in Santa Barbara courts, but as one of his friends said,“Jim is one of those American veterans who put the ‘great’ in ‘The Greatest Generation.’ ” “Pat” or “Jim,” depending on whether you knew him during his military service or his civilian life, was born in Denison, Texas, on July 20, 1920. His father was an employee of the Missouri-KansasTexas Railroad, which provided a regular income even during the Depression, but with Jim coming along as the youngest of seven children, the family lived on the edge of poverty.

Jim was an Eagle Scout, graduated from Denison High School, and enrolled at the University of Texas in 1937. A music major, he earned pocket money playing saxophone and clarinet in dance bands.

What the Hell Is Going On?

COASTAL FEEDING FRENZY: I was worried.

Very worried. As I sipped coffee down at sunny Leadbetter Beach, I thought I spotted Susan McCabe. Or was it Wendy Mitchell?

Where they’re involved, rough water or undertows too often follow for the California coast. What stretch of Santa Barbara County’s golden sands could they have their eyes on?

McCabe is a former member of the California Coastal Commission, whose duty it is to protect our precious coastline. But now she’s a powerful lobbyist whose website boasts 219 coastal commission permit clients, according to L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez.

Mitchell sits on the commission (first appointed by then-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and then by Governor Jerry Brown), and she recently voted to toss highly respected executive director Charles Lester under the bus. She’s also a busy political “consultant” developers find it useful to “consult.”

As Independent columnist Nick Welsh pointed out last week, the City of Santa Barbara “consulted” with McCabe to the tune of $152,000 to gather eight of the 12 coastal commissioners (surely not easily done, but she apparently had the clout).

The aim was to (privately) explain why the city need not comply with oh-so-pesky new environmental rules regarding protecting marine life at our upcoming desal plant.

THE INDEPENDENT

In the firestorm resulting from Lester’s ousting, people started wondering just how much “consulting” has been going on behind closed doors and who’s being paid to do what for whom? As Surfing Magazine put it,“What the Hell Is Going on in California?”

The Coastal Commission seems to have become a virtual frothing feeding frenzy of lobbyists, and there also seem to be no laws against it. But legislators, including Santa Barbara State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, have introduced legislation to require disclosure by commission lobbyists. Good luck with that.

Governor Brown, who presided at the much-cheered birth of the Coastal Act in 1972, not only appointed Mitchell and three other commissioners who led the charge to unhorse Lester. But Brown also stood by without lifting a finger to save Lester’s neck.

What’s next, Californians wonder? When the commission meets again, what new hanky-panky will emerge? At next month’s meeting, it’s scheduled to vote on one of the largest coastal developmental proposals ever to come before it, according to the New York Times.

That involves 1,100 acres at Banning Ranch in Newport Beach, a project said to be worth more than $1 billion and which has stirred “huge community opposition,” the Times reported.

february 25, 2016

The South Coast itself has seen some major coastal pipe dreams (or nightmares) fizzle over the years. If Mother Nature hadn’t interfered, Goleta might sport a deep seaport at the present Goleta Beach Park. But as historian Walker A. Tompkins wrote in It Happened in Old Santa Barbara, massive floods of the 186162 winter washed up to 14 feet of silt down from the canyons, filling up the slough and destroying any chance of a harbor.

Only a bribery scandal back in the 1970s saved the 265-acre seaside More Mesa from development. The 750-unit Tyrolian Village proposed housing units, an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, and pools galore. There were three votes on the County Board of Supervisors to approve the project, enough to okay it, but when a supporter decided to go for a fourth vote using a bribe, he went to prison and the project died.

Even before that, in 1965, oilman Sam Mosher proposed the 800-unit Buena Vida project there, but even his clout couldn’t make it happen.

I recall that many years ago some on the City Council thought the Andrée Clark Bird Refuge would make a dandy small boat harbor, but that idea never held water. Today, preservationists wonder about the intentions of Saudi mega-developer Khalid S. Al Shobily, who plunked down $25 million for More Mesa in 2012.

SHARKS IN THE WATER: Seaside life goes on despite scheming at the agency that regulates the coast.

I put down my coffee cup and looked around for possible bulldozer targets of latter-day big-money operators. One in the news these days is the Gaviota Coast, a lovely stretch that so far has escaped mass condo-izing and wall-to-wall luxury mansion-ization.

Was that why Susan and Wendy were here? But then I took a closer look and was vastly relieved to see that the two women I noticed were just two San Roque moms watching their kids play in the sand.

Both children and adults can build sand castles on the beach, I guess.

pon attending an event at La Casa de la Raza just last week, I walked away with a profound appreciation for the community space, as well as for its dedicated staff and administration.

At this event, New Orleans poet and educator Kalamu ya Salaam asked us to think about other community centers we have been a part of. I had to admit to the group that La Casa is the only community center I have ever known. When I was growing up in East L.A., there weren’t any centers close enough to my neighborhood for me to attend.

Since beginning my doctoral studies at UCSB in 2009, La Casa has been a place where I meet people engaged in an array of activities that build empowering social bonds between diverse members of Santa Barbara. It has been my experience to find committed people at La Casa, facilitating meaningful educational, cultural, and health programs that benefit many people.

In the face of recent events, I have become more inspired than ever to stand with La Casa. I want to reciprocate with the center some of the wonderful support it has given me through the years as I’ve worked toward my doctorate in the Department of Sociology with emphasis in black studies. You can count on me to continue to be a staunch supporter of La Casa and its promising impact on the community.

Keepsake for Kotor?

O

n a river cruise along the Adriatic, we stopped in Kotor, Montenegro, where a local guide helped us explore this ancient town. One of the places she took us to was their Maritime Museum, which houses a tremendous treasure trove of artifacts from sailors and the city’s long naval history.

One artifact was definitely out of place: a replica of a terra-cotta warrior from Xian, China. Our museum

guide informed us that Xian is a sister city to Kotor, as is Santa Barbara. Several people in our group who knew I had family in Santa Barbara jokingly said that I must be the city’s gift to the museum, since there was no other.

So, Santa Barbara, you have been linked with this wonderful UNESCO-protected city since 2009. How about coming up with a gift? Something that illustrates your long and colorful history? The Maritime Museum in Kotor, Montenegro, is waiting.

life.” He was soon reading two memoirs, Diary of a Sea Captain’s Wife (about Ira and Margaret Eaton’s development of Pelican Bay on Santa Cruz) and The Legendary King of San Miguel (about Herbert Lester’s time on that wind-whipped isle), and then everything else he could find.

“I became feverish about reading all this stuff,” said Sumner, who started asking people at parties what they knew about the islands, which wasn’t much.“They didn’t know people lived out there. They didn’t know how many there were,” he recalled.“I wasn’t far from them. It took me 16 years to go out there. But the more I read, the more I became convinced that it was a good story.”

His attempts to enlist Citizen McCaw colleagues, producer Sam Tyler and screenwriter Peter Seaman, weren’t successful — they were happily retired and failed to see a story line. But in 2012, Tyler changed his mind and soon gained the support of the S.B. Maritime Museum and Santa Cruz Island Foundation, both of which balked when just Sumner asked for help. “I call him ‘Darth Tyler,’ ” said Sumner of Sam. “He just walks into the room and says, ‘You will fund this film.’ Things started happening like that.”

DesPeraDo to FulFIlleD Dream

With financial and logistical avenues paved, Sumner and Tyler attended the Feast of the Holy Cross inside Santa Cruz Island’s historic chapel in 2012, and the project kicked into high gear when they saw rock star Joe Walsh of the Eagles (whose island connection is detailed on page 25) sing “Desperado” during the annual mass. “It was mind-blowing,” said Sumner, caught up by the wash of culture and religion, history and humanity. “Everyone was there because they love these islands. There was a juxtaposed spiritual moment, and I got it. This is what it’s all about.”

On the way home, they called Seaman — a big Joe Walsh fan, incidentally — and he was in. Six months of research were followed by two and a half years of shooting.“We were pretty methodical,” said Sumner, knowing that valuable sources like Betsy Lester wouldn’t be around forever.

“We wanted to have something that would be archival.”

DREAM FULFILLED: After a scuba accident, Brent Sumner (pictured overlooking Santa Rosa Island’s Carrington Point, with Santa Cruz Island in the background) dove into the Channel Islands’ rich but little-known human history.

‘It’s just such an easy project to believe in. It’s going to be hard to live on the south coast and not love this film. It will change the way you look at the islands.’

Taylor Mac

Santa Cruz ISland FoundatIon

To tell the myriad stories, they decided to have sources function as first-person narrators. “That was way more intriguing but very hard to do,” said Sumner, crediting Seaman for forging that path.

“That was Peter’s genius.” And rather than one 90-minute feature film, which would have left too much on the cutting-room floor, they opted for three one-hour episodes wrapped around the 14 tales. But they could have done a fourth hour easily, with enough time and money, and probably many more. “The more I dig, the more that I find so much significance to those islands,” said Sumner, noting that impacts go back to the peopling of the Americas, as the hemisphere’s oldest bones were found at Arlington Springs on Santa Rosa Island. “It even changes the way we think about early man.”

They hope West of the West will prompt more people to learn about and visit the Channel Islands, and Sumner admits that, selfishly, it would be great if the films are so beloved that he has to continue his work there. But all three men made a pact years ago to pursue the project for personal rather than professional vindication. “We did this for ourselves,” said Sumner.“There’s really no money, and it was a lot of hard work, but we did it because we fell in love with these stories. It was my big excuse to go to the islands and learn these stories from the people who actually lived them, and it’s fulfilled that desire.”

KILLER WHALES OF TALES: Herbert Lester, the legendary king of San Miguel Island, held court at his notorious Killer Whale Bar years ago (top). More recently, Sam Tyler (bottom, left) interviewed fishing legend Mike McCorkle about his many years working the seas around the islands.

An incisive social critic and elaborately costumed performance artist, Taylor Mac is “a critical darling of the New York scene” (NY Magazine) whose decade-by-decade musical revue explores the evolution of American attitudes through pop music.

Here’s a closer look at a few key people who tell West of the West’s story, from a Chumash descendent to a celebrity conservationist.

Even after six years of researching the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island, Susan Morris is still making discoveries. “It’s just so fascinating,” she said. Morris has corrected key details in the bloody chain of events that led to the Lone Woman’s nearly two decades of isolation, and she recently pinpointed where the marooned Nicoleño died of dysentery seven weeks after her “rescue” in 1853 — in an adobe house on the corner of Quinientos and Quarantina streets. Soon, Morris will publish a new report that sheds even more Susan Morris light on her time on the mainland.

Like most 4th graders, Morris learned of the Lone Woman by reading Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins, which took some artistic license but largely stayed true to history. She was intrigued. So when Morris — a Ventura resident and independent researcher who’s studied the islands on and off since 1987 —got an opportunity from the National Park Service to develop an educational website about her, she jumped at the chance. The site will go live later this year and will link to a trove of digitized historic documents. “It’s not just the story about one person left alone on an island. It’s a history of the human race,” Morris said. “It’s what happens when explorers and entrepreneurs enter the territories of native peoples, and how they change and survive.”

IslaND raNcher

Tim Vail was the last of his kind—a fourth-generation island rancher far removed from urban trappings and the government regulations that eventually put his family out of business. The Vails began running cattle when Tim’s great-grandfather Walter bought Santa Rosa Island at the turn of the century. For more than 100 years, they herded their Tim Vail stock down a pier and onto a boat to get it to the mainland, helped by Sonoran ranch hands who lived with their families on the property that came to symbolize “a way of life that doesn’t exist anymore,” said Vail.

Though Vail has fond memories of his unique upbringing, early-morning roundups, and a beloved homestead that’s now protected by the Park Service as a historical site, he has a hard time returning to the empty ranch. “That island is gone for me,” he said. “The families are gone, the work is gone—for me it’s a very lonely place to visit.” Every so often, Vail—now a semiretired large-animal vet living in La Quinta — will check on the last few horses that remained behind,“old pensioners who earned their keep.”Vail said he’s glad to see his family’s ranch memorialized in West of the West, as it’s a piece of modern human history that often gets overlooked.

Betsy Lester will never forget her first arrowhead. “It was like finding a pot of gold,” she said. Strong winds exposed the Chumash relic on the east end of San Miguel Island, where Lester lived as a little girl in the 1930s with her parents and sister in a house made from shipwreck lumber and lit by kerosene lamps. She spent her days (when she wasn’t being home-schooled) exploring the remote terrain, discovering “little creatures like slender salamanders,”

After the death of Herbert Lester, who famously referred to himself as the king of the 10,000-acre island where he ran his sheep ranch, the rest of the family moved away in 1942 when Betsy was 8 years old. “I really cherish that opportunity to live there as a child,” she said.“It taught me you can do a lot with very little.” Lester studied zoology at UCLA and then taught science at a Beverly Hills middle school. She took her own kids camping as often as they could. Now 82 years old, Lester lives in a quiet Santa Monica canyon with lots of trees around. She hopes the film will encourage people to visit the islands “the way they are now,” full of history but empty of modern-life distraction.

When Santa Barbara Mission priests asked Julie Tumamait’s great-grandfather if he wanted to change his last name to Marquez — a more “proper” title, they said — he declined.

That decision would preserve his family’s identity through the years; the Tumamaits are now the only lineage of area Julie Tumamait Chumash to have maintained their last name, said Julie. The rest have been lost to time and history. To ensure her people’s legacy is not totally forgotten, Tumamait has dedicated the last 30 years of her life to educating school kids and others about the communities that thrived on the Channel Islands independent of their mainland brethren and long before the Spanish arrived.

“Our culture doesn’t give the impression that there are native peoples still here,” said Tumamait, an Ojai resident, whose grandfather’s family came from Santa Cruz Island and whose grandmother’s family hailed from Santa Rosa Island. “There’s a vibration here that people don’t know about.” Tumamait encouraged residents and visitors alike to explore the history of native peoples, but to do it gently. “Don’t take things,” she said. “Take a picture.”

We could all learn from her ancestors, she added, who lived in their environment instead of just using it. “Be soft with the world,” she asked.

The unlikely pairing of a rock legend and a genteel but ornery doctor saved Santa Cruz Island from oil development and a Disney theme park. Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh and Stanfordtrained pathologist Dr. Carey Stanton, who inherited the island Father Francis J. Weber (left) and Joe Walsh from his businessman father in 1957, discovered they had the “same wry humor and the same outlook on life” during one of Walsh’s first visits to Stanton’s cattle ranch.“He liked me, and I liked him,” said Walsh.“And we were of the same school of thought: Keep the island like it is.”When Stanton died, Walsh gave him his word he’d oversee Santa Cruz’s continued preservation. Thirty years later, Walsh is still the island’s big-name but behind-the-scenes steward, working with the Nature Conservancy and the Park Service to maintain its wildness.

Every so often, Walsh sneaks away from his life of recording and touring to “Walden wood it” on the island. “It’s very healing when I get L.A.-ed out,” he said. And every year on May 3, he visits its chapel for the Feast of the Holy Cross, a tradition that began when Stanton invited Monsignor Francis J. Weber to say mass, which he did for decades to come.

Admittedly, Walsh is conflicted about alerting others to the beauty and serenity of the place: “It’s a jewel because people don’t know about it.” And he’s looking for the next person to carry the mantle of protection.“I just have the gut feeling that I was supposed to do this,” he said.“It’s a passion. I just hope I’ve made a difference.”

The River and the Thread

hey’re scientists and

teachers, boaters and pilots, curious wanderers and hard-core adventurers. They’re Santa Barbara families, couples from the Midwest, and lone wolves on a mission. They’re all members of the elite All 8 Club, a group of 176 people who have set foot on every one of FLYING PROUD: The All 8 Club burgee California’s Channel Islands sports eight white stars set in two groups rep—“set foot” being the opera- resenting the four northern and four southtive term; underwater scuba ern California Channel Islands. touches don’t count.

Created in 1994 by Marla Daily — President of the Santa Cruz Island Foundation and the reigning queen mother of all things Channel Islands —the club may be the most exclusive geographic company in the world.

By contrast, there are more than 800 members of the 7 Summits Club, who have climbed the continents’ tallest peaks.

Daily was first on the list and accepted 11 new inductees last year. She said it takes an average of 10 years to reach all the islands. Photographic proof is required. It’s not easy becoming an All 8-er, Daily explained —San Clemente and San Nicolas Island are controlled by the U.S. Navy, which doesn’t take kindly to unannounced visitors, though occasionally allows access to researchers and restoration volunteers.

Steve Junak — number six on the list — worked at the Botanic Garden for 30 years and journeyed many times to the islands to study their unique and too-often endangered plants. The navy has always been accommodating, he said. The ocean, not so much. “I get really seasick,” he said. “I see boats as a necessary evil to get to these amazing places.”

Junak counts himself lucky to have watched a number of threatened species bounce back over the course of his career. “It’s rewarding to see that improvement,” he said. And the annual All 8 barbecues are a great way to meet “really neat people.” Last week, he headed to Santa Cruz Island to confirm reports of monkeyflower growing there. Presumed extinct, the last sighting was in 1932.

If you’re not a scientist, creative solutions may be required to check San Clemente and San Nicolas off the list. Llew Goodfield is a fifthgeneration Santa Barbaran whose great-grandfather owned a fleet of schooners that hunted otters and seals in the channel. A lifelong boater himself, he thought it’d be fun to bag all eight.“I like anything to do with those islands,” said Goodfield. After the easy six, he joined Daily on a helicopter trip to San Nicolas. “I really kinda cheated flying out there,” he laughed. He made San Clemente a little more interesting. Goodfield sailed out to the west end of the island, loaded his family onto a dingy, and puttered to a craggy outcrop, where they took a quick picture.“And that was that,” he said. His wife, Marilyn Goodfield, is also in the club.

VONS AND CASE DETECTIVE AGENCY WAGE & HOUR CLASS ACTIONS Suits allege pervasive wage and hour violations

Anticouni & Associates, a Santa Barbara-based employment law firm, recently filed a Class Action on behalf of employees who work or worked at the Santa Barbara Vons’ locations.

A separate Wage and Hour Class Action was also recently filed on behalf of employees who work or worked at Case Detective Agency.

Both lawsuits seek substantial monetary damages for unpaid wages, unpaid overtime compensation and substantial penalties for employees who worked during the past four years.

Employees of the two companies are encouraged to contact Anticouni & Associates to determine what back pay and penalties they may be entitled to.

Anticouni & Associates has obtained over $150,000,000.00 in similar Wage and Hour Class Actions on behalf of California employees.

I heard you can get me numb without a shot.

How is that possible?

For most procedures, we can use our computerized anesthetic device that allows us to numb your tooth without a needle injection!

This device works by allowing us to sneak a small amount of anesthetic between your tooth and your gums. The numbness takes affect almost immediately while you barely notice anything has been done. The computer monitors how quickly the fluid is dispensed, eliminating discomfort from the anesthetic building up too much pressure in an area.

This also means we are able to numb just a single tooth at a time with a fraction of the normal amount of anesthetic and it works more effectively. Most importantly, you do not leave the office feeling like your entire face is numb. Most people don’t feel numb at all.

Do not let a needle phobia stop you from visiting the dentist anymore! With new technology, we can make even numbing your tooth a painless process.

2/26, 2/28: SBSSA Informational Meeting & Free Clinic Be the ones sailing on the weekend, not the ones watching!

r a c k i n g the Santa Barbara s o c i a l - s c e ne nu t i s n o t always easy for recent transplants. But residents who’ve moved to town within the last 18 months are welcome to step under the colorful influence of the thriving Santa Barbara Newcomers Club.

Newcomers Club members go hiking and “It’s really just a social dining quite often. club that enables people to meet new people, engage in fun activities, and learn about the new town that they have moved to,” said Susan Aumack, an active volunteer in the club, which has more than 40 committees spanning everything from sports and music to parties, classes, exploration, and tours. “There’s even a committee called ‘giving back’ that introduces members to nonprofits that are looking for volunteers. It’s just really well rounded.”

Aumack moved here from San Francisco after buying a house and confessed that the only person she knew was her realtor. “It was kind of tough. My neighbors aren’t particularly outgoing, and that’s typical,” she said.“I think if I didn’t have the Santa Barbara Newcomers, it would have been really challenging.”

Renee Marin has similar feelings. “We lived in Laguna Beach for two years and didn’t meet anybody. I’m in sales. I’m not shy,” she said.

“Now my friends see my Facebook posts and tell me I am really living the life in Santa Barbara.”

Marin’s new contacts have quickly grown beyond the casual acquaintance of club friends to more enduring friendships. She and her husband will be traveling to Morocco this spring for a gourmet food tour with another couple that they met at their first Newcomers event.

The club’s Santa Barbara franchise, which has been active for 60 years, is one of the largest in the country, signing 30 new members in January alone. “It seems like our membership is trending upward and younger,” said Aumack, who explained that newly formed committees offer events for members in their twenties, thirties, and forties.

And the club flourishes despite the frequent turnover that comes from a pesky two-year membership span.“We’ve got a dedicated group of people who are really outgoing,” said Aumack. “It just seems like everyone is really willing to keep it going.”

Entrepreneur Makes Big Splash with vitamin angels Captures

Dreams for Our Children volCaniC Water

Why did Vitamin Angels create this book? We cre-

ated this book as a way to connect viewers with the people Vitamin Angels serves: as a glimpse into their everyday lives, to offer an opportunity to understand the challenges these people face, and educate viewers on the simple yet dynamic solution we provide.

How do you feel that the photographs in your book exemplify Vitamin Angels’ cause? Vitamin

Angels’ mission is one of hope and positivity. While the people depicted often live in deplorable circumstances, you see that so many are smiling and full of life. There is a true sense of joy and dignity in their everyday lives, and we choose to focus on that. The photos show viewers that despite their conditions, these are people, just like the rest of us. Children all over the world play the same way, and every parent wants the best for their children.

What are your hopes and goals for the future of Vitamin Angels? The ultimate goal for Vitamin Angels

is to put itself out of business. Howard [Schiffer] has always imagined a world where the services this organization provides are no longer needed. Until that day comes, the goal is to continue to raise funds and reach out to more and more people falling through the cracks of the various systems in place.

— Rebecca Hartt

On the environmental front, the volcanic water is naturally “filtered through 14,000 feet of porous rocks” from a sustainable source, and the bottles are made from “100 percent postconsumer recycled plastic,” says Emmons. In addition to its eco-friendly ethos, the company is also dedicated to effecting positive social change: For every liter of water purchased, 650 liters are donated in Africa. “Thankfully, it’s not like we’re shipping water from Hawai‘i to Africa. That wouldn’t be sustainable at all,” he laughs. “Basically, we install these pumps and do sanitation work [in Africa].” Soon the company will be expanding its social initiatives to include donating money to nonprofits in Hawai‘i dedicated to conservation.

Emmons’s ever-growing aspirations for changing the business of water lie in his founding principle: “We wanted to give people what they wanted — the ability to improve their health while minimizing impact Ryan Emmons [and] also helping people that don’t have the same resources we do.” Santa Barbarans looking to support Emmons’s feat of social entrepreneurship can buy Waiakea Hawaiian Volcanic Water at Whole Foods Market (3761 State St.).

y the time Jessica Jay put a straight razor to my neck, I was already slipping into a fully reclined state of stress-melting bliss. During my pre-shave ritual, Jay had combined facial massage, cleansing balm, and a lemongrass-infused hot towel with a Clippers game on the flat screen and a Roy Orbison ballad filling the cool space between the hardwood floors and high ceilings of a subtly elegant brick-and-mortar storefront. As Jay’s experienced hand eased finely honed Japanese steel through the hot lather softening my graying stubble, I imagined that if I ever decided to step foot inside a man spa (or whatever they’re called), this is the sort of treatment I’d get.

That’s what third-generation Santa Barbaran Richie Ramirez had in mind when he started to bring aboard female barbers not long after opening shop in 2010. The first was Lauren Rundquist, who apprenticed at Richie’s while commuting to barber college in Los Angeles. “I like to make men look good,” she told me during my traditional Father’s Day shave a few years back. Women barbers have a great sense of style, added Ramirez, 37, who worked under Matt Sanchez at Montecito Barbers for five years before stepping out on his own. “They can look at you and just know what’s going to work.”

The author gets royal treatment from Jessica Jay.

What is the main concept of the book? Although the solution Vitamin Angels offers is simple, the problem is extremely complex. Globally, people’s lack of proper nutrition is linked not just to poverty, but education, cultural beliefs, access, and availability. We wanted to walk people through an understanding of how interconnected these issues are and show how something like vitamin supplementation and nutritional education can help break the cycle of poverty and even save lives.

EO Ryan Emmons is not your typical 26-yearold. Kicking off his career in social entrepreneurship with a high school business venture that raised tens of thousands of dollars for Hurricane Katrina victims, Emmons went on to graduate early from USC to start his own business, Waiakea Hawaiian Volcanic Water.

And now that company is paving the way for change in the bottledwater industry.

The son of area philanthropist Dr. Robert Emmons, Ryan was born and raised in Santa Barbara, and he attributes his environmental consciousness to where he was raised. But the heart of his water company lies in his Hawaiian roots.

“I spent a lot of summers and winters at the islands,” says Emmons.

“When I was 17, I found out my family had access to this amazing well, and I started researching everything about water.” In the midst of his research, he found an opportunity in bottled water. “The world doesn’t need more premium water,” he explains.

Instead, he opted to “create a triple-bottom-lined premium beverage,” one that takes into account environmental and social performance in addition to its financial bottom line.

ince 1994, Vitamin Angels has provided lifesaving vitamins to more than 40 million mothers and young children in more than 50 countries in its fight against malnutrition, the numberone cause of preventable child death. On their journey to combat poverty and e nc ou r age healthier lives, Vitamin Angels founder Howard Schiffer and photographer Matt Dayka created Dreams for Our Children, a photography book that gives a face to the organization’s cause. Dayka recently answered a few questions via email about Vitamin Angels, the book, and the nonprofit’s ultimate goal of going out One of Matt Dayka’s top shots of business. For the full interview, visit independent.com/dreams.

I took that matter-of-fact announcement to heart as Jay uprighted the chair and asked me how I’d like my hair, which was about seven weeks gone and the texture of a Brillo Pad. It’s all yours, I told her, just not too short. And with that, I slowly reentered the known universe, sipping complimentary coffee and catching up on the Clippers.

Done and done, a shave and a haircut at Richie’s Barber Shop in Montecito (1187 Coast Village Road, Montecito; 845-9701) — or Richie’s Annex, inside Wolf’s Head men’s clothing store downtown (432 State Street; 722-2383) — takes about 90 luxurious minutes. Appointments are recommended.

Anything to Avoid Writing this Column

C H U M AS H C AS I N O R E S O RT

Spring Job Fair

L

ooking back, I probably should have lied. It would have been more cordial. The woman was only making conversation, after all — not looking to meet my demons.

“Do you enjoy writing?” the nice mother asked me at Chavez 2005-PRESENT back-to-school night lastMaria week as we both folded our overtall, underHousekeeper, Hotel bendy bodies into the high school English classOperations desks.

“Oh, yes,” I should have replied warmly. “Very much. Of course.

More than anything. Who doesn’t?”

Instead I spat “NO!” even as her mouth was still forming the half smile that comes from enunciating the last syllable of “writing.” It quickly snapped into the pursed lips of surprise and then slid into a wounded frown. I instantly regretted my frankness.

But the question. The question. It’s like asking someone if she enjoys vomiting. Or picking up all the rotten, fly-infested fruit in the yard. Or disinfecting the toilet. Nobody likes that stuff; it’s misery.

But it has to be done occasionally, and when it’s over — well, things are very pleasant for a spell.

I hate writing and always have. In college, I majored in English because I figured that having to write papers all the time would help me get over my dread of putting thoughts into words and words onto paper and paper into the hands of another literate human being who may or may not agree with, relate to, or understand me. It didn’t work, of course; I just felt dread far more often. And then, having become a sort of dread junkie — I became a professional writer.

Even now, though, when I have email: starshine@roshell.com written work due almost daily, I’ll writhe and squirm for hours before forcing my fingers onto the keyboard, creating a new document and trying to etch meaning onto its vast, menacing whiteness. If you could see me spasming about my home in petulant avoidance, rifling about the junk mail on my counter, busying my eyes and hands with suddenly enthralling coupon books, poking through the pantry in search of Just Exactly the Right Portion of Just Exactly the Right Snack, filling a glass of water only to find that I’ve already got two full glasses of water at my desk, oh, would you look at that, I guess I’d better empty a couple of them into the houseplants now … well, you’d mock me mercilessly and rightly so.

Like a lot of writers, I’m terrified of having nothing to say, or worse — having something to say and being unable to say it clearly, to say it well. That’s breech labor for a scribe, an excruciating stopping up of production, of creation. It makes my head pound, as though the proper phrasing were running around frantically in my skull, lost and unable to find its way out onto the welcoming page.

In the English class where I cloddishly confessed my contempt for my own occupation, we parents learned that our kids would be reading Conrad and Poe, Shakespeare and Morrison this semester.

It’s hard to imagine such literary titans, such masterful communicators, wrestling with writerly insecurities or twitching through willful avoidance rituals. But surely Heart of Darkness and “The Cask of Amontillado” didn’t just come tumbling out of those authors’ exceptional brains? Is it possible that Hamlet and Beloved are the intricate, haunting results of some particularly productive hair-pulling and above-average snack-hunting?

I believe that good writers forge a connection across time and space with the anonymous reader on the other side of the page, making them feel understood. Unmasked. Un-alone. It’s an ambitious goal — so forgive me if it stresses me out. But as long as I’m still being honest, I’ll confess that there’s actually one aspect of writing that I do enjoy.

The end.

ow home to healthy eats (Silvergreens), gourmet burgers and beer (Eureka), late-night tacos that are good all day (Romanti-Ezer), and Japanese noodles and barbecue (Sachi), the canyonized block of Chapala Street between Ortega and De la Guerra is a legit dining destination these days. Amid the buzzing outdoor tables and increasing foot traffic is the new headquarters for Kanaloa Seafood, the fresh fish market previously on Gutierrez Street that’s now also serving casual but well-considered dishes to eat onsite, including on their own sunny patio, where you can watch this new Chapala vibe unfold. It’s hard to order anything other than the taco sampler, especially on your first visit, which delivers a bellyful of marinated fish and crisp, zesty, fresh toppings. The crispy beer-battered fish comes with spicy mayo, thinly sliced cabbage, cilantro, and pineapple salsa; the Pacific pairs swordfish with poblano peppers, onions, cabbage, and pico de gallo; and, most creative and flavorful of all, the Korean-style puts savory kalbi-marinated salmon together with kimchi aioli, pickled cucumber, cilantro slaw, and impressively distinctive red chili sesame salsa.

All served on tortillas that are big enough to carry the load but not so thick that they overwhelm, — Matt Kettmann these tacos make good friends with Mama’s Little Yella Pils on tap.

PIG TAKES FLIGHT: Pork taco specialist El Pastorcito has taken over Wing’s in Noleta.

PICKLES & SWISS UPDATE: Last December I wrote that Pickles & Swiss restaurant is listed as a future tenant in the upcoming Hollister Village Plaza in Goleta, where Smart & Final recently opened. Earlier this month I wrote that Pickles & Swiss had been removed from the list of future tenants. I spoke to the owner of Pickles & Swiss and was told that they still have plans to open in Hollister Village, even though the plaza’s website

ace it: As much as fried foods beckon with a siren crunchy call, they too often lure us onto greasy rocks that then sit at our stomach’s pit.

Not this dish.

Chef James Sly seems to know the cleverest way around every classic, so of course he comes up with this extravagantly mounded plate of skinny onion rings and what he calls home fries that will make you want yet more when they are devoured. He uses red onion, no doubt mandolined to a paper thinness, probably soaked a bit to take the sting out (I’m guessing here), and then coated in the perfect batter, both in its salt-pepper mix and its crispiness. Since the onions are so fine, there’s none of that pull-the-veggie-out-of-its-coating clumsiness — here the fried-ness and onion are a happy, delicious one.

Meanwhile, the home fries are the best potato chips you’ll ever eat— eat again, very thin, adding to the plate’s “oh, just one more” allure. But even so thin, they seem to have a top, bottom, and middle, the outsides a kind of crust for the somehow bit of chew inside. A couple of millimeters of spud never tasted so good. $10; 686 Linden Ave., Carpinteria; 684-6666; slysonline.com. — George Yatchisin

SongS for the Soul Aoife o’DonovA ’Donov n’s Latest record Is PItch-Perfect ’DonovA

T

How did this record come about? It was kind

of time for me to make my next record. I had Fossils that came out in 2013, and the average time is about two years [between records].

I had been pretty diligent about trying to write during the two years that I spent on the road promoting Fossils, but I didn’t have a full record written, and I still had a bunch of songs I had to write, and I was sort of thinking about solitude and the life cycle in general, and then my granddad passed away at the very ripe old age of 93, so it sort of helped finish a bunch of songs. Some were written directly about him, his beauty and his simple life, and some just sort of helped me figure out the arc of the album and really having it be sort of a meditation on the life cycle, and sort of on magical elements of childhood, mixed in with the magical unknown of what happens after you die.

Is “Magic Hour” specifically one of those?

“Magic Hour” is specifically. I’m so happy that that song has been reaching people because for me it’s a very personal moment.

But it’s all very metaphorical … when you’re running around on the beach and there’s,

like, fairy children and there’s magic, but you’re singing it from the perspective of an adult. You’re lamenting the loss of your childhood.

As a listener, it’s delightful to hear music that’s inventive and to find artists like yourself who can tweak it to make it feel like a new experience. Is that intentional? It

probably is subliminally intentional, at some point, to try to throw some tricks in there.

But it’s also about how you hear melody.

Like you might be able to discover that your sound can go in an entirely new direction just by changing one thing … I think that’s the amazing thing about music, that you can have limitless possibilities, permutations of chords, harmonic structure, the melody.

Even just the voicing of a chord can make it sound completely different.

“Stanley Park” begins so delicately with just the guitar, and then it builds. I thought that was such a great entrée into the album.

That song is also a very intense song, to me, because it feels very lonely. It feels very nostalgic, and it kind of goes back to the life

cycle thing, seeing a bird … and then the second verse, seeing a baby, and wanting to sort of crawl back, to get back to before you were born. And then at the end, when I die, bring me back as a seagull; “I’ll make my tracks on the sandy beach.” And in the middle of the song, it’s like you’re wandering and trying to get out of whatever situation you’re in, trying to break the glass, and you finally break the glass and you pretend you’re Superman. It’s very sad.

You studied music at the New England Conservatory, yes? I learned a ton of stuff

there. It’s a really great program that I did.

It was a lot about developing your personal style, and figuring out what your voice is and who you want to be as a musician, an artist.

I think young people should be encouraged to study music. You know, it’s a great path to go down.

TÜlips

Chaye Tione

Tülips’ Doom & Bloom is a fresh riotgaze debut album by a young band fronted by leading ladies Angie Bloom and Taleen Kali, with a serious Sleater-Kinney, Lush, and Kim Gordon vibe. The girls dizzy up “Vertigo,” and the fiery, hand-clapping “Hotspur” is a hot mess, while the plaintive “Wait” chronicles the travails of feckless youth. “Perfect Love” has a Pandoras-esque garage-rock roughness crossbred with Bikini Kill’s riot grrrl greatness — with vivacious vocals, a robust rhythm section, and crackling guitar making for an exquisite ear-gasm. By contrast, the almost quaint “Dream Lover” has a sweet retro ’50s sound, and “Evil Eye” is the perfect blend of The Cramps and PJ Harvey. Ultimately, all of the songs on this album rock, and Tülips is a band in full flower. — Sean Mageean

In its swirling psychedelia and spirit-gazing thought provocation and optimism, Santa Barbara’s Chaye Tione’s great 2015 album Life encapsulates the headier aspects of SoCal’s sonic shine, more moonlight than midday.

Opening with a soft jazz piano line worthy of an Illmatic or Underground Classics on “Manifest,” the eight downtempo hip-hop pieces of Life are lush, relaxed, and deep. The songs, all threaded by Tione’s flow, are hypnotic, like “Trippin’,” which wraps around the sample of a girl’s laugh, and “I’ma Handle It (feat. Lisa Kim),” which coasts off into space with a thick, Moog-like synth. Life is an exciting, creative, extraordinarily promising release.

“

here’s something about those days, the escape of going to Ireland every summer,” said Bostonraised singer/songwriter Aoife O’Donovan. “It was a much simpler place, and it was just very special to go there and be completely free as a child.” The Emerald Isle and the sweet innocence of childhood are themes that resonate heavily in her latest record, In the Magic Hour. The result is an enchanting compendium of tunes that explore life and death and “youth as sort of an untouched time,” she explained. I spoke over the phone with O’Donovan from her home in Brooklyn about her approach to In the Magic Hour and music’s limitless permutations.

arTisTry of sTrings The connection between students and their mentors in the classical music world is the stuff of legend.

While stereotypes of “high-strung” instructors abound in the popular media, in reality these caricatures are mostly far from the truth. Santa Barbara happens to be blessed with more than its fair share of wonderfully empathic, deeply supportive musicians who devote themselves to the nurturing of young talent.

On Saturday, February 27, Mary Beth Woodruff — the founder, artistic director, and conductor of Santa Barbara Strings, and one of the most exemplary such musical mentors in our area — will celebrate another year of developing talented young musicians with the annual Artistry of Strings benefit concert and silent auction at the Music Academy of the West’s Hahn Hall. At 7 p.m., Woodruff will perform in a quartet that includes Jane Chung (violin), Basil Vendryes (viola), and Andrew Smith (cello), presenting a program of works by Beethoven, Haydn, Kodály, and Puccini. The concert is part of a weekend of activities, many of which involve the students of Santa Barbara Strings, who will rehearse as an orchestra alongside the guest artists and who will enjoy master classes, as well. Tickets for the event are available at santabarbarastrings .org.

The program is full of wonderful and exciting music from both the core of the string quartet repertoire and some of its more intriguing byways. The Beethoven and the Haydn works unsurprisingly fall in the former category, and those by Puccini and Kodály in the latter. Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 16 in F Major, Op. 135 is the great composer’s valedictory work, but despite its origins in a time when the artist was suffering both physically, from his own advancing illness, and emotionally, from the recent suicide attempt of his nephew Karl, the piece is light in tone and concise in form and structure. Haydn’s String QuarQuar tet in C Major, Op. 74, No. 1 runs along a similar musical path, brightened by the composer’s exemplary sense of balance in its orchestration. Puccini’s elegy Crisantemi is a single gorgeous movement that has been more commonly heard in an arrangement for string orchestra. Here we get a chance to appreciate the individual petals of this musical blossom.

a&e | CLASSICAL PREVIEW

Doing What Works GREAT DANES: The four fellows in the Danish String Quartet have earned consistently strong praise for their live performances and in 2014 put out a top-selling recording, Wood Works, which has listeners the world over chilling to “Five Sheep, Four Goats” among other relaxing songs.

W

hether they beat softly in a casual gathering of amateur musicians or roar at full throttle in the string section of a mighty orchestra, the skills acquired through playing the quartet repertoire are at the heart of any string program. Whenever four musicians give voice to one of the Beethoven string quartets, to take just the most obvious example, they connect the deep resources of the musical past with the far reaches of its future development. For the Danish String by Charles Donelan Quartet, a youthful plunge into this deep pool of musical knowledge has turned into an impressively rapid rise to the top of the contemporary music scene. In a rare gesture reflecting the urgency of their impact and the warmth of the reception they received after playing at the Music Academy’s Hahn Hall last season, UCSB Arts & Lectures has brought this group back right away, and to the much larger Campbell Hall, for a program that includes three of the greatest works ever written for string quartet—the String Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 18, No. 6 of Ludwig van Beethoven, the String Quartet No. 1 (“The Kreutzer Sonata”) by Leoš Janáček, and the String Quartet in A Minor, Op. 13 of Felix Mendelssohn.

Such challenging fare has become standard for Asbjørn Nørgaard, viola, Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen, violin, Fredrik Schøyen Sjölin, cello, and Frederik Øland, violin. Encouraged by a sympathetic music teacher in Copenhagen to pursue music as a group beginning when the men were all still in their teens, the Danish String Quartet enjoys extraordinary indemand status among the world’s most elite musical organizations. When I spoke with Sørensen by phone last week from the group’s hotel in New York City, they were just days away from performing the finale of a series showcasing the complete Beethoven string quartets organized by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Observing that “the last ones fit us well,” Sørensen acknowledged that it was an honor to be chosen for this ultra high-profile assignment. He described the upcoming program in Santa Barbara by saying that “the thought behind this one is the Darkness,” going on to explain that Beethoven’s early quartet Op. 18, No. 6 ends with a slow chromatic movement known as “La Malinconia,” or “Melancholy.” The Janáček and the Mendelssohn compositions both make direct reference to specific works by Beethoven that inspired them, and this approach, in which the group performs clusters of material coordinated around a seminal figure, is what’s driving their next recording project, a series that pairs the late Beethoven quartets with music that either influenced them or that came out of the tradition they elaborated.“We put these things together in a curated way,” Sørensen said, “and Beethoven serves as a kind of prism to discover the various colors found in other composers’ music.”

While live performance has earned the quartet its strongest praise thus far, no account of the group’s rise to prominence would be complete without mentioning the unanticipated success of their top-selling recording. In 2014, the Danish String Quartet released a CD titled Wood Works containing 13 Nordic folk tunes arranged by the group and played in a style that converges with their approach to classical compositions. Thanks in part to a YouTube video of a performance that went viral, the album became one of the year’s best-selling classical recordings. Suddenly, listeners all over the world were chilling to the relaxing sounds of “Five Sheep, Four Goats” and “Jasspodspolska,” to choose but two of the fascinating subtitles in the Sonderho Bridal Trilogy.

SEXY RAW ELECTRIC TIMELESS (RE)DISCOVER EXCITING the

DYNAMIC DUO: Joe Lovano (pictured left) and John Scofield put together an acoustic quartet to record 2015’s Past Present. They make a tour stop at the Lobero February 25.

It’s a Group ThInG

I

t’s been 23 years since legendary guitarist John Scofield disbanded his original group with saxophonist Joe Lovano after a brilliant three-album run on the then newly revived Blue Note label. Scofield and Lovano got back together in an acoustic quartet last year to renew their remarkable collaboration with a recording session on another classic jazz imprint, Impulse!, which came back into production in 2014. Like Blue Note, Impulse! now belongs to the label stable of corporate giant Universal Music Group, and as in 1990 with their first Blue Note album, Time on My Hands, the Scofield and Lovano Quartet has scored a major hit with 2015’s Past Present for Impulse!, which made many influential top 10 lists for jazz album of the year.

For a certain kind of music fan — and there are lots of them — nothing comes close to the way these two men play jazz. Fully melodic and endlessly inventive, they sound gritty and driven yet light and playful, and they make music that effortlessly abandons conventional categories. Scofield and Lovano put the “out” jazz and classic bebop compositions they play through a prism of grooves and textures drawn from blues, funk, and vintage R & B. It appears that neither musician is remotely capable of uttering even a single cliché. While the album is fantastic, tunes like the slinky, sidewinding “Get Proud” and the sizzling title track demand to be heard live, especially in the Lobero, where every nuance of these four-part improvisations will be crystal clear.

The show is on Thursday, February 25, and the ScoLo Quartet for this gig includes Ben Street on bass and Lewis Nash on drums.

I caught up with the supremely affable Scofield by phone from his home in Katonah, New York, where he was enjoying some time with his family but said he was “ready for

by Charles Donelan some sea breezes” in Santa Barbara. Last time through for Scofield was five years ago in a memorable guitar summit double bill with his trio and Bill Frisell’s group. Scofield’s band opened that night, and they tore through some Charlie Parker charts before settling in to a magnificent Scofield original called “Simply Put.” Frisell’s whole group sat in for the last number of their set, a freewheeling jam on the Hank Williams classic “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” The guitarist said that the reunion with Lovano, slow in coming as it was, still felt sort of inevitable, seeing how much he and Lovano enjoy playing together and how long they’ve known each other musically — since their student days at Berklee College of Music in Boston. The chemistry that made them such a dynamic combination is still very much there, but what’s changed for Scofield is that he feels his writing is “more focused” and that they have both matured as artists to a very relaxed and balanced place. Which is not to say that they aren’t still combustible, especially live, in part due to the way that both men like to engage with the drummer.

“When there’s no piano, I carry on a rhythmic dialogue, and getting that happening is important,” Scofield said.

“Jazz is a group thing,” he added, in a tone of voice that somehow seemed to smile, and with the upcoming Lobero appearance clearly on his mind. “It’s going to be great to be back in that theater.”

The John Scofield and Joe Lovano Quartet plays Thursday, February 25, at 8 p.m. at the Lobero Theatre, 33 East Canon Perdido Street. For tickets and information, call 963-0761 or visit lobero.com.

BLUE FLAME: Peter Feldmann and the Very Lonesome Boys offer up an intimate evening of candlelit bluegrass this Saturday.

WALK THE MOON FRI, MAY 27

ConneCtion to the Past

THE LUMINEERS SAT, MAY 28

by Richie DeMaria BLUEGRASS BY CANDLELIGHT: When I sat down with hometown folk hero Peter Feldmann, I asked him how he was, to which the septuagenarian, having just come from the doctor, happily replied: “Well, I’m going to live.”

It was good news; it meant he had more music left in him.

If you’ve ever wondered why Santa Barbara seems to have such a fondness for bluegrass, you might find an answer in Feldmann. One of the early architects of the S.B. music scene, Feldmann has made a life of turning on listeners to the sweet sounds of bygone American folk music. He started shaping the city’s soundscape with concerts like his lively “hootenanny” at Orpet Park in ’62, his radio show Bluegrass Breakdown on K-TIDE KTYD (broadcast high up from a Granada eighth-floor office on Sunday mornings), the Old Time Fiddlers’ Convention & Festival, and his band the Scragg Family. He also organized a student organization at UCSB, the Old Time Music Front, which sponsored concerts.“I wanted to be subversive, to subvert the minds to get them to listen to this American music they hadn’t heard before,” he said.

It seems to have worked. Many students, he said, still email to thank him or reminisce about a memorable concert. Santa Barbara’s bluegrass spirit continues to live on this upcoming Saturday, February 27, with Peter Feldmann and the Very Lonesome Boys performing a night of Bluegrass by Candlelight at the Presidio Chapel (123 E. Canon Perdido St.). Rounding out the lonesome crew will be record producer and Cache Valley Drifters co-founder David West, on banjo; fellow Cache Valley Drifter and Bluegrass Cardinals member Tom Lee on bass; and master fiddler Blaine Sprouse.

The crew of world-renowned musicians will be illuminating the candlelit chapel with music done mainly in the vein of traditional bluegrass made famous by legends such as Bill Monroe, who popularized the genre in the 1940s.“I tend to always look backward,” said Feldmann, who is clear to demarcate his musical lineage from more progressive bluegrass or “newgrass” acts. “I’m regressing.”

Many in town know Feldmann for founding the Bluebird Café, where traveling folk musicians took refuge and where many a hoedown was hoofed. It’s also where Lee and West fatefully met and formed their Cache Valley Drifters, well-known staples of the Cold Springs Tavern stage. It makes sense that a man so interested in history would have a way of influencing S.B.’s music history. He first picked up a penchant for old-time music as a youngster, when his Texan neighbors would watch a lot of cowboy movies.“I saw cowboys with guitars singing, and this caught something in me, especially when they were too embarrassed to sing to their girlfriends, so they would sing to their horses—I thought, wow, this is something real,” he recalled.

Feldmann is drawn to the way American history is continually passed down and reconfigured through the hands of incredible players and the sagas and sorrows of which they sing. Be they the Cherokee fiddle-playing fertilizer seller he met in Bakersfield or the 72-year-old African-American bluesman-sharecropper from Texas, the old-time music and the musicians who play it teach “lessons that are usually not found in history books,” said Feldmann.“It’s a connection to the past, and it’s a way of learning about this country,” he said. “I’m just always staggered by the amount of variety that exists here. This is one of our biggest assets: people who have come from all over the place, immigrants; each group has contributed music.”

Feldmann said he hopes this year’s concert is one of many more to come.

“I feel like one of my heroes, Uncle Dave Macon,” he said. “I just want to keep playing until I can’t play anymore.”

Peter Feldmann and the Very Lonesome Boys play by candlelight Saturday, February 27, at 8 p.m. at the Presidio Chapel (123 E. Canon Perdido n St.). For more information, visit bluegrasswest.com.

T

urning theater into movies remains a tough and thankless job. Director Nicholas Hytner began hoeing that row 20 years ago, by adapting Alan Bennett’s The Madness of George III into something like a costume thriller with horror-movie moments.

(He also turned Bennett’s The History Boys into a doting melodrama). And now he’s back with another complex Bennett play, a psychological study of selfishness called The Lady in the Van, this time employing cinematic overkill akin to farce.

Bennett’s story, which is “mostly true,” is a VAN DAME: Maggie Smith stars as the title character in this adaptation of Alan Bennett’s play The Lady in the Van. funny investigation into the nature of “care,” a word that Bennett (Alex Jennings), author and main character, claims to hate, even if the rest of motives as much as those of other folks living in the the world thinks he’s a saint for letting Miss Shepherd communities where he resides — mainly his neighbor(Maggie Smith) park her odiferous van in his Camden hood and the theater world. Bennett was also wise driveway for 15 years. The lady in this case is not much enough to leave everything in a self-indicting semiof one, and for all the kindnesses rained down on her by resolution. The film suggests that there’s enough madBennett’s upper-middle-class neighbors, she offers only ness and guilt in the everyday world to spread around disregard and incoherent phrases in return. Of course, equally, and craziness might be funny as well as alarmas the film develops, we begin to sense more and more ing. Hallucinations crisscross this story — alter egos, backstory will come, and when it does, it’s not only full divine presences, and the like, lifting what is being sold of ironies but also smeared liberally with deep regrets as another geriatric tragicomedy into an art film based on a play based on a real pain-in-the-ass event, and all and Catholic guilt. There’s a lot of poop, too.

A lesser movie might have settled for the mysteries of it turned into quirky meditations. — D.J. Palladino Plaza de Oro of the past, but Bennett is also interested in his own

The film begins visually in dowdy monochromatic tones with a surprisingly drab Saoirse Ronan as Ellis, an Irish girl with no prospects on the 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. (DJP) Plaza de Oro

a&e | FILM cont’d from p. 57 stars Ryan Reynolds as a manufactured mutant with a very bad attitude and a very sharp wit, gets past its own gory excesses with self-referential jokes and fanboy-friendly pop-culture references. It does pander to audiences that liked Kick-Ass, but the film’s pace is the star, brilliantly mixing origin story with revenge tale. It’s decidedly not for kids, though.

Monday February 29 7:30 pm Arlington

Hail, Caesar! (106 mins.; PG-13) For the first 15 minutes of Hail, Caesar!, you might wonder if the Coens have gone over to the dark side. By the end, however, you’ll be howling appreciation for the lovely Coen-esque surreal turns, including a Malibu Commie writers’ colony and a pan-religious conference on images of Jesus held in a movie studio conference room. This movie has Channing Tatum tap dancing in a sailor suit, and it doesn’t need much more to be perfect fun. (DJP)

PLAZA DE ORO Wednesdays

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

How to Be Single (110 mins.; R) Watching How to Be Single is like ordering your go-to drink at a bar — say, an Old-Fashioned — and realizing that while all the ingredients are there (a few dashes of bitters, decent whiskey, etc.), you’ve had more satisfying versions of the same cocktail. Like Sex and the City, How to Be Single boasts plenty of shots of its protagonist, paralegal Alice (Dakota Johnson) walking purposefully around New York City in many excellent coats and bonding with charming sidekicks: ob-gyn Meg (Leslie Mann) and exuberant party girl Robin (Rebel Wilson). Unlike its predecessor (which happens to be the former workplace of Liz Tuccillo, writer of the book that the film is based on), it isn’t doing anything new or exciting with those ingredients.

(NC) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo 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.

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

Race Race (134 mins.; PG-13) The title refers to both the occupation of Jesse Owens, legendary track-and-field star and Olympic Gold medalist, and to the fact that he was a black man trying to carve out a life for himself in 1930s America. Like its title, Race is a respectable but not particularly clever piece of work. While the film doesn’t gloss over the discrimination that Owens endured in both Ohio and the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, it fails to do anything truly transcendent with the material. (NC) Metro 4 Risen (107 mins.; PG-13) Told through the character of an unbelieving Clavius (Joseph Fiennes), Risen is

Deadpool one of the more thoughtful faith-based movies of late. Though it could have used more energy in the pacing (exciting it is not), the film deserves praise for treating faith and soul-searching seriously without pandering too hollowly. Believers will appreciate the ways in which the script handles questioning and for being relatively low on spectacle or sensation, deferring instead to the unseen. (RD) Fairview/Fiesta 5

O Room

(118 mins.; R)

Maybe it seems like a bad idea for a movie, but Room, made by the deft and adventurous director Lenny Abrahamson (Frank), is at times creepy, thrilling, tender, melodramatic, and in its final moments, suffused with unexpected beauty. The best part is Brie Larson’s performance. This movie about human resilience has its most perfect image here — a woman wishing the traumatic past away even though she’s smart enough to know she can’t. (DJP) Fiesta 5 Son of Saul (107 mins.; R) This film focuses on two days in the life of Saul Ausländer, a Hungarian prisoner in 1944 in Auschwitz. He is made to burn the dead bodies of his own people; when he discovers his son among the dead, he tries to save the body and give him a proper burial.

Riviera

O Spotlight

(128 mins.; R)

The story begins in 2001 when new Globe editor Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber) reads an alarming column in his own paper that alludes to a priest sexually abusing children with a church apparatus apparently covering for him.

Baron directs the Spotlight staff to look into allegations, and the story keeps expanding in horrible dimensions.

(DJP) Fiesta 5

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.

(DJP) Metro 4 (2D) The Witch (92 mins.; R) Don’t believe what you read about The Witch, which is receiving rave reviews for its atmospheric spookiness comingled with historic verisimilitude. In reality, it’s nothing more than sodden silliness, a mix of The Blair Witch Project and some old Smithsonian magazines. There is something genuinely cool about the movie, however: a suspense over the distinction between the fearmongered hysteria of the puritanical, self-flagellating zeitgeist and things that genuinely go bump in the dark. After walking the razor’s edge of this fine line, director Robert Eggers ultimately paints himself into a corner from whence there is no extrication. Rather than stay true to the movie’s authentically somnolent roots, it gives a 21-gun climax of a salute.

By that, we are allowed to see the monster. (NW) Camino Real/Metro 4 Where to Invade Next (119 mins.; R) Documentarian Michael Moore tries to learn about the United States through the eyes of other nations. Plaza de Oro Zoolander 2 (102 mins.; PG-13) There is nothing new about this sequel to Ben Stiller’s famous fashion farce other than the release date. In fact, it feels rather undead, with the characters and the actors concealed beneath seeming to wonder about their place in the universe, held in a suspension of irrelevance. The film feels dreary. Whatever worked the first time around is rehashed but with less conviction or pertinence, a weaker echo to the original. (RD)

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Just one species has a big enough throat to swallow a person whole: the sperm whale.

If you happen to be sailing the high seas any time soon, I hope you will studiously avoid getting thrown overboard in the vicinity of one of these beasts.

The odds are higher than usual that you’d end up in its belly, much like the Biblical character Jonah.

(Although, like him, I bet you’d ultimately escape.)

Furthermore, Aries, I hope you will be cautious not to get swallowed up by anything else. It’s true that the coming weeks will be a good time to go on a retreat, to flee from the grind and take a break from the usual frenzy. But the best way to do that is to consciously choose the right circumstances rather than leave it to chance.

(June 21-July 22): “A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking,� said journalist Earl Wilson. Do you fit that description, Cancerian? Probably. I suspect it’s high time to find a polite way to flee your responsibilities, avoid your duties, and hide from your burdens. For the foreseeable future, you have a mandate to ignore what fills you with boredom. You have the right to avoid any involvement that makes life too damn complicated.

And you have a holy obligation to rethink your relationship with any influence that weighs you down with menial obligations.

(Apr. 20-May 20): You have cosmic clearance to fantasize about participating in orgies where you’re loose and free and exuberant. It’s probably not a good idea to attend a literal orgy, however. For the foreseeable future, all the cleansing revelry and cathartic rapture you need can be obtained through the wild stories and outrageous scenes that unfold in your imagination. Giving yourself the gift of pretend immersions in fertile chaos could recharge your spiritual batteries in just the right ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Hell is the suffering of being unable to love,� wrote novelist J.D. Salinger. If that’s true, I’m pleased to announce that you can now ensure you’ll be free of hell for a very long time. The cosmic omens suggest that you have enormous power to expand your capacity for love. So get busy! Make it your intention to dissolve any unconscious blocks you might have about sharing your gifts and bestowing your blessings. Get rid of attitudes and behaviors that limit your generosity and compassion. Now is an excellent time to launch your “Perpetual Freedom from Hell� campaign!

Physics. But what was his second-best discovery?

Here’s what he said it was: adding an egg to the pot while he cooked his soup. That way, he could produce a soft-boiled egg without having to dirty a second pot. What are the first- and second-most fabulous ideas you’ve ever come up with, Capricorn? I suspect you are on the verge of producing new candidates to compete with them. If it’s okay with you, I will, at least temporarily, refer to you as a genius.

SCORPIO

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may be familiar with the iconic children’s book Where the Wild Things Are. It’s about a boy named Max who takes a dream-like journey from his bedroom to an exotic island, where he becomes king of the weird beasts who live there.

Author Maurice Sendak’s original title for the tale was “Where the Wild Horses Are.� But when his editor realized how inept Sendak was at drawing horses, she instructed him to come up with a title to match the kinds of creatures he could draw skillfully. That was a good idea. The book has sold more than 19 million copies. I think you may need to deal with a comparable issue, Aquarius. It’s wise to acknowledge one of your limitations, and then capitalize on the adjustments you’ve got to make.

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Your illusions are a part of you like your bones and flesh and memory,� writes William Faulkner in his novel Absalom, Absalom! If that’s true, Leo, you now have a chance to be a miracle worker.

In the coming weeks, you can summon the uncanny power to rip at least two of your illusions out by the roots — without causing any permanent damage! You may temporarily feel a stinging sensation, but that will be a sign that healing is underway. Congratulations in advance for getting rid of the dead weight.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your Mythic Metaphor for the coming weeks is dew. Many cultures have regarded it as a symbol of life-giving grace. In Kabbalah, divine dew seeps from the Tree of Life. In Chinese folklore, the lunar dew purifies vision and nurtures longevity.

In the lore of ancient Greece, dew confers fertility. The Iroquois speak of the Great Dew Eagle, who drops healing moisture on land ravaged by evil spirits. The creator god of the Ashanti people created dew soon after making the sun, moon, and stars. Lao-Tse said it’s an emblem of the harmonious marriage between Earth and Heaven. So what will you do with the magic dew you’ll be blessed with?

food dye, and gum acacia, what should you do? Make lemonade, of course! You might wish that all the raw ingredients life sends your way would be pure and authentic, but sometimes the mix includes artificial stuff. No worries, Libra! I am confident that you have the imaginative chutzpah and resilient willpower necessary to turn the mishmash into passable nourishment. Or here’s another alternative: You could procrastinate for two weeks, when more of the available resources will be natural.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “We are defined by the lines we choose to cross or to be confined by,� says Virgo writer A.S. Byatt. That’s a key meditation for you as you enter a phase in which boundaries will be a major theme.

During the next eight weeks, you will be continuously challenged to decide which people and things and ideas you want to be part of your world, and which you don’t. In some cases you’ll be wise to put up barriers and limit connection. In other cases, you’ll thrive by erasing borders and transcending divisions. The hard part — and the fun part — will be knowing which is which. Trust your gut.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s prime time for you to love your memory, make vivid use of your memory, and enhance your memory. Here are some hints about how: (1) Feel appreciation for the way the old stories of your life form the core of your identity and self-image.

(2) Draw on your recollections of the past to guide you in making decisions about the imminent future.

(3) Notice everything you see with an intensified focus, because then you will remember it better, and that will come in handy quite soon. (4) Make up new memories that you wish had happened. Have fun creating scenes from an imagined past.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want their lives fixed,â&#x20AC;? proclaims Chuck Palahniuk in his novel Survivor.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved.

Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.â&#x20AC;?Your challenge in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to prove Palahniuk wrong, at least in regard to you. From what I can tell, you will have unprecedented opportunities to solve dilemmas and clean up messy situations. And if you take even partial advantage of this gift, you will not be plunged into the big scary unknown, but rather into a new phase of shaping your identity with crispness and clarity.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a con‑ tingent 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 issu‑ ance 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.

Two Victorians

on West Victoria Street

S

ometimes it’s six in the morning just as the sun’s coming up, and other days it’s midnight or later, and quite frequently, random intervals in between. My energetic dog, Scout, and I take lots of walks around our neighborhood. She likes sniffing, scouting, and, well,“sprinkling,” and I like strolling in the sunshine, or under the stars, and noticing the changing details of the houses, trees, and yards in our corner of downtown Santa Barbara.

On one of our walks a couple of weeks ago, I was excited to see a for-sale sign in front of a big Victorian house just a block away from ours. Scout and I altered our walking routes so that we went past 315 West Victoria Street even more often than usual. I had noticed the broad, bow-fronted faÇade and big bay window of this home on previous walks, and now that I was paying closer attention, its pretty trees and circular driveway caught my attention, too.

The next Saturday, without Scout, I visited 315 West Victoria Street during an open house and was charmed by the interior of this big, open, five-bedroom, five-bath home. It feels like an elegant farmhouse.

From the inside, the bay window is the centerpiece of a gorgeous living room, and there are plenty of period touches, such as hardwood floors and black-and-white patterned tile work in the kitchen. It has some surprises, too, including a huge basement.

Then this week when we stalked by, I mean walked by, I noticed a new development on the block: another for-sale sign on another house, directly across the street.

The home at 314 West Victoria Street is an adorable Folk Victorian with white wood siding, curlicue gingerbread detailing, and a classic white-railed porch extending along the front of the house. It has tall windows and carved wood columns, and also sports

Address: 314 and 315 West Victoria Street Status: On the market Price: $849,900 and $1,295,000 two front doors. While its neighbor across the street is elegant, this home is unabashedly adorable.

Built in the 1890s, its two-bedroom, two-bath footprint is more characteristic of this era. I was excited to see the inside of this cutie, as well, so I could continue my fantasy comparison-shopping of these two neighboring listings. When I inquired about 314 West Victoria Street, however, I learned there has been so much immediate interest from potential buyers that there might not be the opportunity for an open house.

It’s not surprising, really. If one could live anywhere at all, being within walking distance of the historic theater district, the beach, and the courthouse is a pretty great choice. Both of these beautiful homes offer charms of their own, as well as this coveted location. Just watch out for that curious lady and her little dog walking past and eyeing your house at all hours of the day and night.

The homes at 314 and 315 West Victoria Street are both currently for sale in Santa Barbara: 314 West Victoria is listed by David Kim of Village Properties Realtors. Reach David at 296-0662. The property at 315 West Victoria Street is listed by The Venturelli Group of Coldwell Banker Real Estate. Reach Gabe or Bruce Venturelli at 680-5141 or 448-3644.

mplementing the Paris Climate Agreement necessitates putting a price on carbon as broadly across the globe as possible. Carbon pricing comes in two forms: a direct tax/fee on carbon or a cap on emissions. Around the world, 38 nations are engaged in some form of carbon pricing, as well as several states.

British Columbia, California, Quebec, and nine northeastern states are also experimenting with various forms of carbon pricing. British Columbia started taxing emissions in 2008 with an essentially revenue-neutral program. Its tax today stands at $30 Canadian per ton of carbon emitted. Energy prices have increased in the province, but personal

by Dennis Allen and corporate taxes have decreased. The tax has cut greenhouse-gas emissions by a remarkable 17 percent yet has not had a negative impact on the province’s economic growth rate; actually, its economy has grown slightly faster than the country’s as a whole. Every year the fee increases by $5 Canadian, thereby tipping the balance a little more each year in favor of renewables.

By comparison, emission permits under California and Quebec’s coordinated cap-and-trade system are selling at about $13 a ton, and California’s economic growth rate has been one of the highest in the country. Their emission’s cap will steadily decrease over time as will the available number of permits, thus making the tradable permits (authorization to emit carbon) increasingly more costly.

Of the two approaches, the carbon fee model is simpler and applied directly to carbon-based fuels at the source: mine, wellhead, or port of entry. It does not require a large government bureaucracy for regulation and enforcement. The price of most goods and services will increase, but if the collected fees are paid out to every citizen on an equal basis, as proposed, 70 percent of people would experience a net financial gain, employment would increase, and the economy would strengthen.

Corporations generally favor cap-and-trade, perhaps because they can more easily influence it to their advantage, even though it is more complex, less equitable, and essentially a tax. In California, the collected funds are used for mass transit, energy efficiency, development of renewables, and aid to help low-income families cope with higher energy costs.

To be truly effective, broad global application of a price on carbon is essential.

Encouragingly, last year China committed to setting up a national cap-and-trade system. All the existing experiments, albeit recent, are providing the experience of what works, or doesn’t, for the rest of the world. But to rapidly transition the planet to clean energy, a few economists have calculated that the price of carbon needs to be $60-$80 per ton. Much work remains to be done to make a carbon price universal and high enough to propel us to worldwide clean energy.

650-unit apartment complex in Los Angeles’ Koreatown. Cate School drainage system design. Public and residential native-California landscaping.

“A lot of the time, people don’t see the value in landscaping, and it’s a shame,” says Lane Goodkind.“Because there’s a lot to be said for injecting nature into every component of our lives.” He recognizes that architecture often takes center stage in public and private space. “Architects can be so dominant that oftentimes what makes people feel comfortable is left by the wayside,” he explains.

Goodkind also points out that over the years California coastal cities have become increasingly homogenized and

less recognizable for their individual traits as design plans continue to rely heavily on similar building materials and easy-to-manage landscaping plants. “I try to always instill some sort of regional character so that people know that they are in Santa Barbara and feel that something about the plants really belongs,” he says, while explaining the many opportunities diverse coastal microclimates provide for designing striking original landscapes.

In his many successful residential projects, Goodkind has capitalized on Santa Barbara’s natural diversity by emulating native regional landscapes. One of his favorites is the California oak savanna.

“It’s a very ephemeral, ethereal landscape that is in trouble,” he says. He also favors California native grasslands and recently completed a project on the California Riviera where he re-created a purple needle grass meadow.

Goodkind first got his feet wet in landscaping by pioneering the design practices of bioswales aimed to manage storm water — before it became federally mandated to treat impervious surface runoff.

Now that the laws have changed, this has become more the work of civil engineers, not designers.“It’s a good thing that we are now treating the water and we’re mitigating a lot of the impacts of development on the watersheds,” he says.“But we’re not really solving the problem via design.”

Goodkind was able to integrate watermanagement engineering and design sensibilities in his project at Carpinteria’s Cate School, where he replaced an existing concrete drainage ditch with a bioswale planted with native trees and riparian plants.

Goodkind is currently working on a 650-unit apartment complex built in the early 1960s in Los Angeles’ Koreatown. “I feel good about it not really being gentrification,” he says of the complex, which has 50 years of deferred maintenance that leaves it up to him to update the landscaping, pools, and playgrounds.“It’s really just rehabbing the neighborhood for people, and I kind of like that inner-city rehabilitation aspect to it.”

He hopes to bring his environmental sentiment to redesigning complexes’ family areas and has done several park projects, including the redesign of Little Acorn Park in Isla Vista.“With every playground I do, I try to solve the nature deficit disorder issue with the inner-city kids these days,” says Goodkind, who attempts to eschew plastic and metal in play spaces.“I bring in real wood and plant trees where I can.”

people to enjoy the homemade wares, music, and food that the county shut it down in 1967 due to traffic concerns.

Fourteen houses were destroyed in the 1964 Coyote Fire, including the Hyde home. The Hydes moved back into town, and Bobby concentrated his energies on his property in the Painted Cave area, where, to get around building codes, he constructed a lake and floated a houseboat upon it, a structure that did not come under county regulations.

Hollywood came to Mountain Drive in 1965, when director John Frankenheimer’s company filmed a grapestomping bacchanal scene for the movie Seconds. In the film, a straitlaced businessman, played by Rock Hudson, is encouraged to take part in the festivities by his free-spirited companion, played by Salome Jens, and is eventually literally thrown into the vat by the celebrants. Even Frankenheimer takes part toward the end. The company paid the community $5,000 to stage the stomp, which undoubtedly came in handy in the aftermath of the fire.

Bobby Hyde died in 1969, but the spirit he engendered may still be felt in what must be one of the most unique communities to take root on the South Coast.

nown as the Sexton House, this Italianatestyle home was originally owned by famed area nursery owner and horticulturist Joseph Sexton. The son of a gold-rush entrepreneur, Sexton began his nursery business in the late 1860s on a portion of the newly subdivided Rancho La Goleta. Located between the ocean and foothills in the Goleta Valley, it was considered a prime sea-to-mountain agricultural spread.

In addition to profitable land holdings along Hollister Avenue, the Sexton family — which consisted of Joseph, wife Lucy, and 12 children — maintained the well-respected Santa Barbara Nursery and Floral Depot on lower State Street. By 1880, the family had outgrown its modest two-story farmhouse nearby and commissioned noted architect Peter J. Barber to build this family compound.

Beyond his work in Santa Barbara’s South County, Joseph Sexton established himself as a boundary-pushing horticulturist who sought to transform Southern California’s chalky crossroads and immense grazing land into highly profitable farms and nurseries. According to Victoria Padilla’s Southern California Gardens: An Illustrated History, his Santa Barbara–based enterprise “was considered to be one of the most complete and extensive” in the United States at the height of the Victorian era, with both imports and exports taking place between Hawai‘i, Asia, Australia, Chile, and southern Europe.

In 1992, the Sexton family estate was deeded into the National Register of Historic Places. It is now open for tours, and you can make an appointment by calling Pacifica Suites at 683-6722.

residential enclave of free spirits, located in the hills above Montecito in an area bounded

by Gibraltar Road on the north and Coyote Road to the south, with Mountain Drive forming the spine, began to coalesce in the years following World War II. The driving force behind its formation was Robert McKee Hyde, known to all as Bobby.

Hyde was the son of Robert Wilson Hyde, who was a major figure in the West Coast arts and crafts movement shortly after the turn of the 20th century.

Bobby Hyde was born in Chicago in 1900 and, upon the family’s move west two years later, spent part of his childhood in Santa Barbara. After traveling in Europe, Hyde settled in New York state and into a career as a writer. In 1932, he returned to Santa Barbara to reunite with and marry Florence Tuckerman, with whom he had fallen in love when he was 21.

In 1940, Hyde began buying property in the Mountain Drive area but did not start to build until after the end of World War II. In the late 1940s, Hyde began selling one-acre parcels to folks he felt would be compatible neighbors.

In these days before uniform building codes, residents were free to build as the spirit moved them, using whatever was at hand for construction material.

By the mid-1950s, some 20 families had joined the Hydes, increasing to around 40 families by the early 1960s.

The spirit of the community was bohemian, a “live and let live” feel that fostered a close-knit camaraderie. Community interaction often centered on a growing number of celebrations and festivals. Probably the best-known was the Wine Stomp, begun in 1952, in which the Wine Queen selected that year was joined in the large wine vat by neighbors to crush that season’s harvest. Other celebrations included Twelfth Night in December, Halloween, the Fourth of July picnic, Bastille Day, and Robert Burns’s birthday. The crafts festival, Pot Wars, begun in 1962, attracted so many
