BED AND BOARD: An abandoned mattress and box spring sit on De la Vina Street.

Going to the Mattresses New State Law Offers Relief from On-Street Dumping

I

by N i c k W e l s h

n Santa Barbara’s most recent City Council race, the proliferation of abandoned mattresses dumped on neighborhood streets and sidewalks emerged as a hot new micro-issue.

Offering a modicum of relief, a new state law went into effect January 1 requiring mattress manufacturers to underwrite the cost of mattress recycling.

Translated into practical realities for South Coast residents, MarBorg Industries is now collecting abandoned mattresses free of charge for residents dropping them and box springs off at its Quarantina Street facility. In addition, under MarBorg’s franchise agreement with City Hall, residential customers are entitled to two free pickups for bulky items. MarBorg is required to make up to 1,000 free pickups at the behest of City Hall to remove unsightly and blightly junk—mattresses, refrigerators, couches, TVs, and the like—dumped in the city’s public spaces. Since the beginning of the year, MarBorg’s Brian Borgatello estimated his company has picked up 2,500 abandoned mattresses.

Whether the new law is sufficient to allay concerns of neighborhood activists—primarily on the Westside — who are increasingly agitated about rogue dumping operations has yet to be seen. Susan Lafond with the recently formed Westside Community Group is lobbying City Hall to offer residents rebates up to $12 a mattress to encourage greater participation.

Under the new state law, $3 rebates are offered to anyone taking their mattresses “directly” to a drop-off center designated by the Mattress Recycling Council. With the nearest one located in San Luis Obispo, the chances of many Santa Barbarans making the trek with mattresses and box springs strapped to the roof of their car are pretty slim. Because 8

the MarBorg drop-off center is not one of the designated centers, MarBorg is not required to offer any rebates.

Where rebates are concerned, Lafond argued, size definitely matters. In a test program, Alameda County offered mattress bounties ranging from $6-$12 —depending on size — and 543 were turned in. By contrast, the City of San Rafael offered $3 and got only one mattress returned in the same time period. Lafond is hoping City Hall can be induced to sweeten the pot, but given fiscal realities, that will be a steep climb.

According to research conducted by Westside resident Anne Anderson, the total number of complaints City Hall received jumped from 291 in the first quarter of 2014 to 540 in the third quarter of 2015. While the Eastside and Westside ran neck-and-neck for the largest number of calls, Anderson found most of the Eastside dumps took place in industrial neighborhoods while those on the Westside were predominantly residential.

In a tartly worded letter to other activists, Anderson expressed aggrieved curiosity why other city residents might find this acceptable.

Do they think, she asked,“that we are all poor and would welcome their old mattresses and torn sofas?” Lafond, in a more recent letter to City Hall, lamented how it took “days to weeks at a time” to get the mattresses removed.“They are rained on and frequently urinated on by neighborhood dogs,” she stated.

About five years ago, the issue of mattress disposal achieved sufficient critical mass to become a political issue worthy of action in Sacramento. Abandoned mattresses were indicators of neighborhood blight, akin to the “broken window” theory of public safety. Mattress pickup and disposal evolved from mere nuisance to serious financial irritant as local independent.com

governments found themselves shouldering the cost. For the state’s space-constrained landfill, mattresses pose serious problems.

“They don’t compact,” explained Matt Fore, city of Santa Barbara’s trash specialist. “You can run ’em over with a D-9 tractor, and they stay the same.”

In Sacramento, State Senator (then an assemblymember) Loni Hancock, a liberal gogetter environmentalist from Oakland, introduced a bill that would require the mattress industry to provide cradle-to-grave accountability for their product. According to a study prepared by UCSB environmental scholars at that time, Californians bought 4.6 million new mattresses a year and disposed of 4.2 million. The study concluded that 85 percent of the carcasses could be cost-effectively recycled.

The mattress lobby found Hancock’s bill onerous and expensive and got Lou Correa, a crusty Democratic Party pol from Santa Ana, to carry a kinder, gentler bill more to the sleep industry’s liking. (Correa is now a member of Congress, but at the time he was a California state senator.) Behind the scenes, the two bills vied for legislative supremacy, but in 2013, Hancock and Correa decided to join forces and push a compromise measure that passed muster with both environmental activists and mattress manufacturers.

The bill tagged an $11 surcharge onto the price of every mattress sold in California, and that money would be used to fund the Mattress Recycling Council, which in turn would run statewide recycling operations. California and other states have had similar bills on the books for disposal of cans, bottles, paint, e-waste, and car batteries. But California’s Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act—which just went into effect this year after being passed in 2013 n — is the first in the nation.

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Eastside gang associate Isaac Jimenez, 25, was sentenced 3/7 to life in prison without parole for the murder of 23-year-old Ventura gang member Kelly Hunt. On February 19, 2013, Jimenez and Eastside gang member Joseph Castro, 22, shot Hunt four times on Olive Street. Both were found guilty of firstdegree murder, conspiracy, and lying in wait.

Jimenez pleaded no contest to charges for an unrelated attempted murder; he was sentenced to five consecutive years. Castro awaits sentencing next month for Hunt’s killing and the same attempted murder.

Santa Maria police officers and federal agents arrested 16 people allegedly involved with the transnational street gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, and allegedly culpable for the city’s recent surge in homicides. Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin said all 16 defendants are from El Salvador or Honduras. He declined to disclose specif specifics on the sweep, called “Operation Matador,” but he said at least six homicides were prevented because of their police work.

Other MS-13 arrests were made in Bakersfield, Oxnard, and Columbus, Ohio.

A federal judge ruled last week that out-ofcourt settlements with Plains All American Pipeline do not bar nearly 150 individuals from seeking further compensation from the company responsible for the Refugio Oil Spill. At issue was whether the federal Oil Pollution Act precluded aggrieved parties from signing “interim releases” with Plains and when a class-action lawsuit is pending. In a legal first, the judge ordered the company to notify anyone who signed such a release that it was no longer valid and to notify anyone seeking settlement of the class-action lawsuit.

Dario Pini, one of Santa Barbara’s most legally fraught landlords, pleaded no contest on 3/4 to California Labor Code violations.

He was sentenced to three years probation and fined $1,000 after his workers used scaf scaffolding — red-tagged by Cal/OSHA inspectors — on the Fiesta Inn & Suites renovation project at 1816 State Street in November. To satisfy the terms of his probation, Pini must not break Cal/OSHA laws for three years, said his attorney Larry Powell.

Jason Messerschmidt, a 33-year-old Santa Barbara County street person, was found dead at 6:55 p.m. on 3/1, along the train tracks near South Milpas Street. During a welfare check, police said an officer found Messerschmidt “obviously deceased” and lying facedown next to his belongings in the popular cut-through from South Milpas to Calle César Chávez. He was identified through hospital paperwork he carried showing he had a serious illness. Authorities do not suspect foul play.

Tensions ran high at a meeting last Thursday between supervisors Doreen Farr and Peter Adam and Chumash chair Vincent Armenta over the tribe’s 1,400-acre Camp 4 property. The gathering was the seventh in a series of talks convened since last September after members of Congress threatened to move forward a federal bill that would immediately add Camp 4 to the Supervisors Peter Adam and Doreen Farr tribe’s reservation. Currently, the tribe’s application to annex the property is tied up in an appeal by the county and several valley groups with the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).

On Thursday, Armenta announced he would recommend that the tribal board submit applications with the BIA to annex every property they own, or seek federal legislation to do the same. “I don’t think the county has left us any option,” he said.

The room buzzed with frustration. One public speaker called Armenta’s remarks a “blatant chase of profit for a few at the expense of an entire community.” “What does this mean?” asked valley resident Mike Brady. “Does this mean you are going to put a motorcycle track there? A golf course?”

For his part, Armenta argued he was shocked to learn that the county supervisors voted 3-2 in closed session on Tuesday to appeal the tribe’s application to annex its two-acre Mooney-Escobar property. Armenta said the county’s opposition further demonstrates its hostility toward the tribe and its projects. “For all intents and purposes,” he said, “the county has abandoned these parcels and has provided no meaningful services such that these parcels are de facto parts of the Santa Ynez Reservation.”

Since September, the two sides have taken steps to draft terms outlining the following key issues: payments in lieu of taxes, mitigation, county services, and gambling. “I believe through this process we have given the county everything that they have requested,” Armenta said. The tribe agreed to pay 38 percent of one percent of the market value for services to compensate for ongoing property-tax loss.

The tribe also agreed to pay sales tax and Transient Occupancy Tax equivalent to county rates (25 percent), with the money split between the county’s general fund and the area school districts.

But for county officials, a waiver of sovereign immunity is at the top of the list — any agreement with the tribe is not enforceable without it. “I’m sorry we are not at a point where you agree,” Farr said. Adam shared Farr’s frustration: “You got us to chase you awhile, and it’s not working for me.” A hearing will be held at the Board of Supervisors to continue the discussions. A date has not been set.

CIty The City of Santa Barbara and the Trust for Public Land announced on 3/2 they bought the 14.7-acre bundle of land known as Veronica Meadows in order to build a public park and protect Arroyo Burro Creek. The undeveloped property near Arroyo Burro Beach in Las Positas Valley was purchased for $4 million — through Measure B funds worth $2.7 million and grants — from Peak-Las Positas Partners, the prior company of Santa Barbara real estate developer Mark Lee.

COuNty Fast-food giant CKE Restaurants — which owns Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s, Green Burrito, and Red Burrito — will be consolidating its corporate headquarters in Carpinteria and St. Louis, Missouri, to more business-friendly Nashville, Tennessee. “We currently have approximately 75 employees [in Carpinteria],” said a CKE representative. “Most will be offered positions with relocation packages, and the remainder will receive job-placement assistance.” Several CKE executives, including CEO Andrew Puzder, who lives in Montecito, have reportedly purchased property in the Nashville area.

A UCSB research team is using this year’s El Niño sea rise to predict future erosion at nine sites throughout Santa Barbara County, from Coal Oil Point Reserve to Shoreline Park.

The study is funded by a grant of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The team is analyzing data from a light detecting and ranging (LiDAR) scanner, creating highresolution, 3D images of each site. Revisiting these locations after significant storms, the team is crafting a time series of sea-level rise.

EDuCAtION An inflow of private grant monies is poised to help Adams Elementary School expand its popular bicycle program to all grade levels this spring, as well as launch programs for 2nd graders at Franklin and McKinley elementary schools. At Adams, the four-year-old program started with 1st and 2nd graders and has since expanded through 6th, with older students brushing up on road rules and mentoring younger grade-schoolers through the basics.

Now, with help from an anonymous donor, Adams kindergarteners will get helmets and two-dozen pedal-less push-bikes. Adams PE teacher Julie Churchman shared the program’s growing success story this week at the National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C. n

out of right field Valley Conservative Announces Candidacy

T

he race for the 3rd District supervisor got a little more crowded this week when Santa Ynez Valley mover and shaker Bob Field threw his name in the mix.

Field — a self-described old-fashioned conservative who has crusaded against development, wine tasting rooms, and vacation rentals — joins valley residents Bruce Porter and Joan Hartmann and Isla Vista resident Jay Freeman in the contest to replace Supervisor Doreen Farr when she steps down at the end of this year.

Until this week, Field supported Hartmann, with whom he worked to craft a proposal in Camp 4 negotiations with the Chumash. He even donated $1,000 to Hartmann’s campaign in December.

But last Thursday, at a Chumash meeting in Buellton, Field dropped the bombshell that he would jump in the race to represent the county’s vast 3rd District, which spans from Isla Vista to the Santa Ynez Valley to Guadalupe, and determines the balance of power on the Board of Supervisors.

“Two things happened,” Field said of his decision. “As often occurs in the primary, the Republican candidate has a chance to win,” he said referring to Porter. “The more I got to know him, the less comfortable I became.” He called Porter “under-informed” and “mushy” on Chumash matters.

A retired U.S. Corps of Engineers officer and valley school boardmember, Porter has backed away from the “Republican” label, instead calling himself “middle of the road.”

Porter added, “I would consider all three of [the other candidates] pretty far left.” A number of conservatives, including supervisors Peter Adam and Steve Lavagnino, are backing him. And the Democratic Party is supporting Hartmann, a former planning commissioner and environmental attorney.

Although the seat is technically nonpartisan, blue-red politics play a role in both weekly policy decisions at the board and during the general election when the Democratic machine sets up shop in Isla Vista. Conventional wisdom says the election will be decided in November because there are four candidates in the race. And to win outright, a candidate needs 50 percent of the vote plus one. Out of the roughly 42,400 registered voters, 36 percent are Democrats, 28 percent are Republicans, and 30 percent declined to state. March 16 is the last day a candidate can file papers to run.

“If the race goes to November, and it’s Joan Hartmann against Bruce Porter, it would be Joan’s race to lose,” said longtime economist Lanny Ebenstein, who is backing Porter. In 2012, half the number of 3rd District voters cast a ballot in June than they did in November. “It’s largely based on the national ticket,” Ebenstein said. Freeman, a multimilliondollar software company founder and the only South Coast candidate, could do better than people think, he added. independent.com

big hit in round 7

Bob Field

For his part, Porter said he was surprised at Field’s entry “because I considered him aligned almost exactly the same with Joan Hartmann.” As to the question of whether this spoils his chances of winning, Porter said he had no comment.“I just don’t know,” he said. In an email, Hartmann expressed similar surprise at Field’s candidacy. “He didn’t let me know personally until after he announced at the ad hoc committee meeting,” she wrote. Asked if anyone encouraged him to run, Field said no.

Field, who moved to the valley 18 years ago after a successful “dot-com” career in Silicon Valley, worked on the 2004 campaign for former 3rd District supervisor Brooks Firestone. But the two clashed after Field later criticized Firestone for leading a charge to allow non-agriculture uses on land protected by the Williamson Act — a state law that obliges a landowner to preserve open space for a decade in exchange for tax breaks — when Firestone owned such property. He later recused himself from voting on the subject due to accusations of conflict of interest.

This week, the rift between the two emerged in competing op-eds in area news outlets, including The Santa Barbara Independent. Firestone objected to Field’s use of his name in a news release announcing his candidacy, which he said implied an endorsement. His support, Firestone wrote, is for Porter. In an interview, Firestone said he did not believe Field would be a “significant candidate.”

Swinging back, Field wrote in an op-ed he merely used Firestone’s name along with Supervisor Doreen Farr’s to demonstrate his ability to work with people of different opinions.“I do not have Firestone’s endorsement, I do not seek it, and if he were to offer it, I would not accept it,” he wrote. “[The 3rd district has] a long history of weird close elections,” recalled Shane Stark, a former county counsel. In 2008, the last time the 3rd district was an open seat, Farr beat valley resident Steve Pappas by 806 votes out of 35,621. n

in its PHF unit. Its director, Leslie Lundt, has long said the minimal number for a county Santa Barbara’s size is at least 40. For the past three decades, one grand jury after another has concluded the shortage qualifies as a desperate problem. But that’s old news.

What is new are the numbers. In just the past two and a half years, the absolute number of patients sent to out-of-county psychiatric facilities has increased from about 325 to 1,100. The number of bed nights in these facilities jumped to 1,006 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015-16, up from 414 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011-12. Curiously, in the same period, the number of patients committed to the county’s PHF actually declined, from about 425 to fewer than 300.

The number of bed nights, however, went way up, from 118 to 954.

This shift from in-county to out-of-county treatment has massive fiscal implications.

by N i c k W e l s h magine a game of musical chairs in which the number of players increases dramatically, the number of chairs plummets similarly, and the music never stops. That’s pretty much the challenge confronting the county’s chronically undersized lockdown psychiatric hospital.

As a result, hospital administrators are being forced to send more of Santa Barbara’s mentally ill patients to facilities out of the county. To cover the additional costs, the Santa Barbara County supervisors just upped the budget for this service from $2 million a year to $4 million. That increase is also designed to cover a significant drop in reimbursement the county receives for treating patients who are “lucky” enough to get bed space in Santa Barbara’s Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF), better known as the “Puff Unit.”

The reasons for this are manifold and complicated; most of it stems from the fact Santa Barbara has only 16 psychiatric beds

As supporters praise La Casa de la Raza as an anchor of the Eastside and Santa Barbara’s greater Latino community for the past 45 years, its recent Chapter 11 filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has exposed more of its financial troubles.

Though some claims remain in dispute, La Casa owes roughly $133,000 to the IRS, more than $2,000 in state taxes, and unpaid payroll taxes and penalties topping $5,000, according to court documents. Also listed as a creditor, realtor Miguel Avila said he loaned La Casa $10,000 “about a year ago” and remains confident that the community center will work through its fiscal problems and pay him back in full.

Combined, boardmembers Marisela Marquez, Saul Serrano, and Raquel Lopez have loaned La Casa nearly $30,000, which remains outstanding. La Casa owes smaller sums to accounting firm MacFarlane, Faletti & Co., Southern California Edison, The Gas Company, Cox, and T-Mobile.

The biggest creditor is original cofounder Tom Castelo’s MLG Leasing, Inc., which purchased La Casa’s loan on its 26,000-square-foot multipurpose building for $525,000 last September. Around the same time, La Casa did manage to reinstate its lapsed nonprofit status, enabling it to claim partial exemption from property taxes and to recover past overpayments. However, only about 15 percent of the property is exempt from taxation, as La Casa rents space to area businesses. Partial reimbursements for 2012 and 2013 are being processed presently, and “we’re looking to get those refunds out the door soon,” said Ed Price of the county’s Auditor-Controller’s — Keith Hamm office.

A Fine Mess Latest Debate for Lois Capps Seat Was Random, Muddled, Fascinating Fun

by J e r r y r o b e r t s FIRST THINGS FIRST: Watching seven political candidates “debate” is sort of like seeing the crew of Star Wars: Episode VII perform Waiting for Godot.

Like Godot, Samuel Beckett’s famed two-man play, political debates are most worthwhile as mano-a-mano affairs — think Lincoln-Douglas, Kennedy-Nixon, or Donald Trump vs. himself.

By that measure, last week’s UCSBstudent-sponsored affair for candidates seeking the congressional seat of retiring Representative Lois Capps, which featured four Democrats, two Republicans, and one independent, was a trifle overpopulated.

In a race likely to be shaped by TV ads and perfidious mailers, however, it was a rare opportunity to see the field in person, talking issues and rationales for their candidacies.

COLUMNIST’S DISCLAIMER: Declaring who “won” and “lost” such a debate is a fool’s errand, best left to celebrity bloviators on cable. A somewhat more defensible approach: Did each candidate burnish or blemish his or her campaign?

One week before the filing deadline for the June 7 top-two primary, here’s the ringside scorecard of a registered independent voter and media geezer who’s squandered hundreds of precious hours reporting on such confabs: Bill Ostrander. The Bernie Sanders of the field, the San Luis Obispo reformer put forth the clearest and most consistent message, thundering about the corrupting influence of special-interest money. With a shock of white hair, upright stance, and flurry of statistics (some of them, no doubt, true), Ostrander is an impressive figure, but he bangs too heavy on the keys, flinging his arms around like Bruce Lee and shouting at a volume that shook the ceiling tiles in Broida Hall. Grade: AHelene Schneider. Santa Barbara’s mayor is the most specific and crisp in the field, and her elevator pitch about being a pragmatic progressive who will work in Congress to connect local governments to Washington more effectively, while pressing social justice and women’s health concerns, is appealing. Trailing Democratic foe Salud Carbajal in money and endorsements, she’s trying some political jujitsu in styling herself as “an insurgent”—“I’m not a yes man”—but she’s neither aggressive nor forceful enough in sustaining that argument to put pressure on Salud. Grade: B+ Justin Fareed. A former footballer, the 27-year-old Republican upstart has the rhetorical style of a fullback, plowing straight

ahead with bullheaded energy to sound a message of generational change, wrapped around some GOP talking points — i.e., blaming Democrats for enacting Obamacare on party-line votes while ignoring Republican obstructionism. He is muchimproved from last fall, however, as campaign consultants Christiana Purves and Kayla Berube have reined in his logorrhea.

Grade: B-.

Salud Carbajal*. Salud remains the favorite, due to prodigious fundraising and important endorsements (latest: Sierra Club and farmworker icon Dolores Huerta). But his mawkish recitation of personal narrative —“I know what it’s like to struggle” — is monotonous and tiresome; the claim that brokering bipartisan deals on the Board of Supervisors ensures his ability to work with right-wing Republicans in the toxic atmosphere of Congress is laughable, and his ongoing failure to cite a single disagreement with Lois Capps makes him look weak. Grade: C Katcho Achadjian. Conventional wisdom says the Republican San Luis Obispo assemblymember is his party’s strongest candidate, due to name ID and a local political career predating his trek to Sacramento.

In the Capitol, he’s known as the Democrats’ favorite Republican, but his message is largely mush —“I feel your pain,” he told students when asked about college debt — combined with standard GOP stances — i.e., he opposes “amnesty,” a k a “a path to citizenship,” for undocumented immigrants.

Santa Barbara’s Psychiatric Health Facility

elsewhere. But even for those treated in the PHF, Behavioral Wellness is now receiving far less in MediCal and Medicare reimbursements than it used to.

One of the biggest factors driving the demand for PHF’s limited bed space is the rise in court-ordered commitments for patients known in the legal jargon as “Incompetent to Stand Trial,” or ISTs for short. These are criminal defendants who may not be able to assist in their own defense. Traditionally, the number of IST bed days has hovered around 100 per quarter. Five years ago, there were no ISTs in the PHF at all. In just the second quarter of last year, county records indicate there were 328 bed stays.

In 2011, officers of the Santa Barbara court expressed doubt about the competency of 153 defendants; 116 of those were found to be incompetent. In 2015, the number more than doubled to 341. The PHF has been the first responder for such patients, evaluating them for competence, rendering determinations, and finally rehabilitating them to the levels legally required to face criminal prosecution.

The highest priority at PHF is supposed to be the acutely mentally ill, some so gravely they pose an immediate threat to themselves or others, a condition known in the vernacular as 5150. The vast majority of IST patients, however, do not qualify as acutely mentally ill. Many IST patients have lengthy criminal histories; some are treatment resistant. Typically PHF administrators would try to find cheaper treatment for these patients, either in step-down programs or in facilities categorized as “Institutions of Mental Disease,” also known as IMDs. Because such patients are frequently difficult, many step-down facilities and IMDs are reluctant to accept them. Beyond that, very few step-down even exist in Santa Barbara, and bed space in IMDs has grown increasingly scarce.

The Incompetent to Stand Trial phenomenon is hardly unique to Santa Barbara; all court systems throughout the state are experiencing a similar uptick. The party line from those living in the crossfire of the mentalhealth and criminal-justice systems is one of abject mystification. But privately, some mental-health professionals contend the explanation is obvious. With society growing less comfortable about jailing the mentally ill, judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys are more open to rehabilitative treatment options. Unfortunately, the mental-health infrastructure is overwhelmed, and such alternatives are few and far between.

In response, Behavioral Wellness contracted with private providers to open a new, less-intensive six-bedroom facility in Goleta

to help reduce the demand by ISTs for limited bed space. That opened just last November, so it remains too soon to say what impact it’s had.

Another reason there’s increased demand is improved response times to patients experiencing psychiatric meltdowns in the county’s emergency rooms.

Not long ago, emergency rooms frequently found themselves forced to hold such patients for many days.“We worked with the Emergency Departments to decrease lengths of stay while in emergency rooms, which means more people are getting to psych hospitals quicker instead of sitting in the emergency room for as long as three days,” explained Suzanne Grimmesey, chief quality care officer for Behavioral Wellness. What’s good for the emergency rooms, however, increases the burden on the county PHF. Yet another big problem is that the patients now disproportionately occupying PHF beds are designated as “administrative” patients rather than “acute” patients. That’s a big deal because PHF gets paid $2,000

by MediCal a night to treat acute patients.

For the administrative caseload, it’s almost $700 a night. Five years ago, a small fraction of the PHF caseload was categorized as “admin.” Today, it’s two-thirds. Before 2006, some of these could have been referred to Cottage Hospital for treatment in its psych wing, but that year MediCal payments for such patients dropped lower than Cottage deemed economically acceptable. That’s when the hospital stopped accepting county clients. It continues to admit voluntary county patients with Medicare. Involuntary admissions ended at Cottage in 2002 due to challenges with on-call physician coverage and the time-intensive court hearings doctors were required to attend, said spokesperson Maria Zate.

County mental-health administrators have sought space for “admin” patients in IMDs. In Santa Barbara, there are not a lot of options, and bed space in IMDs is getting harder to find. This past year, administrators had hoped to open four new facilities with 28 beds, offering a range of care. One opened in November, another in January, offering a total of 14 new beds. Part of the problem is a shortage of state licensing inspectors.

County administrators complain of delays up to four months to get a licensing inspector on the premises.

In the meantime, Behavioral Wellness administrators are hoping their new triage program can help stem the flow of new patients into the county’s PHF unit. Part of the program includes a new eight-chair crisis stabilization unit, where, for up to 23 hours, those in extreme distress can get treatment, the necessary referrals, and ideally some relief. Likewise, there’s a crisis residential unit, which offers six beds. And lastly, there are the three “crisis” teams dispatched countywide.

The strategy is to find patients in need before they need the PHF. This program, likewise, is still too new to assess its effectiveness. In the meantime, Santa Barbara’s game of musical chairs with its mentally ill just got $2 million n more expensive.

doomsday averted

Showdown Ends over Lake Cachuma Water Deal Santa Ynez water manager Bruce Wales (left) and Santa Barbara city water manager Joshua Haggmark

by N i c k W e l s h

hat could have been a door-die showdown between feuding water agencies over the last few gulps of water in Lake Cachuma was averted Monday afternoon, meaning South Coast agencies will soon be allowed to move an emergency pump and barge to a deeper part of the reservoir.

The practical effect of the unanimous vote by the Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board (COMB) is that South Coast managers — who rely on Cachuma for 50 percent of their total supplies—will be able to continue pumping from the lake for at least a year longer than if the barge wasn’t moved. Had the Santa Ynez water agencies serving customers living downstream blocked the move — as had been threatened — some South Coast departments warned they would not be physically able to deliver water to customers living on upland terrain.

A few Santa Ynez managers had objected that by moving the barge, the South Coast would be effectively stealing water that belonged to downstream agencies. They demanded guaranteed safeguards that South Coast purveyors would not poach their water.

Given that a unanimous vote appeared to be required for COMB to approve moving the barge, the Santa Ynez water interests appeared to hold veto power. (The word “appear” is used because legal opinions on those questions appear to shift from day to day.)

The heat generated by the two sides of this debate had almost been enough to boil what water’s left in Lake Cachuma. That cooler heads eventually prevailed was the result of desperate, nonstop, backdoor diplomatic efforts, including a three-hour break-breadnot-heads lunch at Cold Spring Tavern between Santa Barbara water warrior Bendy White and Santa Ynez chieftain Kevin Walsh.

While many of the bones of contention between north and south date back nearly 100 years, there’s new and angry urgency because the dam has dropped so low that for the first time ever, no new water deliveries are being made this year. (The water being pumped from Cachuma now is either carried over from the previous year thanks to conservation efforts or water bought from Central Valley rice farmers and funneled into the lake courtesy of the state water pipeline system.) Or as one senior water planner said, independent.com

summing up the predicament facing the five water agencies drawing from Lake Cachuma, “Zero divided by five is zero.”

Santa Ynez water agencies have come to rely on massive downstream discharges — about 6,000 acre-feet’s worth—every other year to replenish the groundwater basins upon which 80,000 customers rely. Santa Ynez interests worried that if the barge was allowed to pump in deeper waters, the lake level could drop so low that this year’s discharge wouldn’t have enough “head”—pressure created by the weight of water—to make it all the way downstream. For any deal to pass muster, this concern had to be addressed.

It was.

COMB boardmembers voted 5-0 in favor of language that will allow the barge to be moved as early as this June. The contractor needs 90-days advance notice, so for that to happen, the vote had to occur this week. Even with this reprieve, the water agencies drawing from Cachuma have plenty to worry about.

Currently, the lake’s water level is at 664 feet, but once the dam drops to 643 feet, no more pumping is allowed. Period. At that elevation Cachuma will have dipped down into what’s ominously referred to as the Dead Pool.

Because it’s so close to the lake bottom, the Dead Pool poses serious water-quality problems. It’s also necessary to maintain so that the state water being pumped into Lake Cachuma can actually get near the barge and pump.

Even with moving the barge, engineers estimate Cachuma will drop to the Dead Pool around November 1. At that time, the only water that can legally be pumped from the lake will be the state and rice-farmer water.

How much of that will be on hand remains a dicey question. South Coast agencies have been loath to put as much state water into the lake as they could, preferring to store much of it in reservoirs elsewhere.

That’s because federal rules require water districts to deduct the amount of water that evaporates off Lake Cachuma from any water stored in the reservoir. But for reasons arcane and mystifying, the same evaporation losses are not assessed at water stored in other reservoirs. That makes sense for individual districts attempting to maximize limited resources. But for those concerned about the dam going dry, it creates an undeniable sense of suspense. n

Beautiful birthday thoughts from your parents, brother, relatives and countless friends. With the stars she is - For sure; Lana lived life out loud!

(Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal).

Janice Roberta Gibson Cloud 03/16/37-02/23/16

A full life. A colorful life. A beautiful life.

Jan died of ovarian cancer February 23, surrounded by her family and beloved cat, Wally. Up until a week before her passing, she was able to enjoy her favorite activities – her genealogy study group and lunch with her former students at IHOP. Jan was born in St. Joseph, MO, on March 16, 1937, to Hazel and Elwyn Gibson. Raised in Arkansas and Missouri, she attended Central High (Little Rock, AK) and graduated from Joplin High in 1956. Jan attended the University of Oklahoma, was a member of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority, and studied voice with opera singer Dame Eva Turner. Since music was not a practical degree for a woman at that time, she received her bachelor of arts in education in 1959.

Jan found her way to California through a teaching job at a junior high in Riverside but soon realized that teaching children was not the profession for her. Fortunately for all of us, Jan headed north to Santa Barbara, where she studied with Lotte Lehmann at the Music Academy of the West. Jan continued singing with the local Opera Workshop and performed in many operas over the years, as well as teaching voice, both privately and at Westmont College.

In 1962, Jan married William Edmund Deluccia. During her marriage to Bill (d. 1993), Jan experienced life as not many do. It was passionate, exciting, and never dull. Jan was resourceful. She cooked salmon in 14

the dishwasher, served escargot with snails from her garden, cooked – and yes – ate crow after Bill shot it off the power line (there is very little meat on a crow, she said), and she cooked a pot roast on the manifold of her car on one of the many cross-country road trips. Adventurous, practical, clever. That was Jan. In 1972, Jan married Preston E. Cloud, Jr. (d. 1991). This began a new adventure that took her around the world with Pres’ career as a distinguished biogeologist. It also took her to places like the High Sierras with a 40-pound pack on her back, cooking over a fire pit and sleeping under the stars before there was such a thing as a comfortable air mattress. Through her travels with Pres, she experienced the highlight of her singing career in 1980 when she gave recitals in Beijing and Nanjing, China. Jan was the first American singer to give such a recital in Nanjing and was very proud that her repertoire included songs in six dif different languages, including Russian and Chinese!

Jan enjoyed the connection to the scientific community through Pres, always eager to attend meetings of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. She had a thirst for knowledge, which led her into her ultimate profession and passion, genealogy.

She was known to exclaim, “It’s worse than dope!” “It’s the greatest detective game!” “It’s so much more fun than doing housework!”

Jan was a leader, teacher, and mentor. She had a loyal following of genealogy students who attended her classes through SBCC’s Adult Education program, a career that spanned over 20 years. As friends have remarked, “Jan was an amazing person, a serious scholar of genealogy and a teacher who inspired rooms full of acolytes.”“Her passion for genealogy was sooo infectious!”

And as another friend mused, “I take away a lot of what was shared in her classes, but honestly, one of the lasting legacies she imparted to me was the friendships that were made and still exist because of her class; most of us began as strangers, but that didn’t last long.”

Hand in hand with her teaching came her fierce love of and commitment to the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society. Jan’s perseverance, visionary thinking and determination helped to create one of the strongest and most respected genealogical societies in California.

For anyone who knew Jan, she was a force to be reckoned with and known for her persuasiveness. “Who can say no to Jan?!” Her deep knowledge of all aspects of genealogy, her perfectionism, her hilarious sense of humor, and her delightful stories earned her the respect and love of all who knew her.

Jan leaves a lasting legacy and passes her bright torch to her family: sons Morgan De Lucia and Dante De Lucia (Ana Ojeda); daughter Amanda De Lucia (Viena Zeitler); stepchildren Lisa Cloud (Conor Hickey), Kevin Cloud, and Karen

Cloud; grandchildren Nico, Julianna, Sofia, and Daniela De Lucia, Conor, Fiona, and Molly Hickey; dogs Rudy, Piccolo and Rosie; and her beloved cat, Wally.

Donations in Jan’s memory can be made to Dog Adoption and Welfare Group (DAWG), Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP), and the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society.

At Jan’s request, we will be having a party to celebrate her life Sunday, March 13, 3-5pm, at Rancho La Patera & Stow House, 304 N. Los Carneros Road, Goleta, CA.

Hot Dog Man, Legislative Crusader

H Is for Hawk

Helen Macdonald ‘TAPS’ FOR BILL: The king of frankfurters at the Carpinteria Bluffs, Bill Connell nourished customers with red hots and won for California’s veteran vendors tax-free status.

cut loose. They did not always come through, but we agreed that the next best thing to a good day at the races was a bad day at the races. The last time at Del Mar, one of Bill’s hidden gems finished at the top of a trifecta that he’d bet, and he came home joyfully with $3,000 in his pocket.

In another forum — rough-and-tumble state politics — Bill himself rode a long shot to the finish line by sheer will. He found a passage in the state Constitution that appeared to exempt military veterans who were vendors from collecting sales taxes.

The state disputed his interpretation. After making numerous trips to Sacramento and piling up reams of documents — an aide to Assemblymember Das Williams displayed a bulging binder at Connell’s memorial — he finally was rewarded in 2010 by the signing of a law affirming his position.

On one of my darkest days, my spirits were lifted by the power of the Hot Dog Man’s oratory. With nothing to gain personally, he spoke out on my behalf at a rally protesting the firing of six reporters, including me, during the News-Press purge of 2006-07. Independent columnist Nick Welsh likened my situation to Bambi being murdered. From then on, Bill called me Bambi.

I visited his spot at the bluffs last week. It was decorated by flowers, flags, a surfboard, boxing gloves, a baseball, a cigarette—one of Bill’s vices—and a few other trinkets. Plans are afoot to install a permanent plaque on one of the boulders.

Surely he had his flaws as a human being, but during the time I knew him, Bill Connell was generous and kind. He wanted to make things better for people, not the least being his fellow veterans, many of whom fought in Vietnam. At the end of his memorial mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, a military honor ceremony was conducted. I heard the sound of another bugle, playing the long, mournful notes of “Taps.” n Rest in peace, my friend. courtesy

nell told me what was on his mind when I picked up the phone: “Ta-didida-dididadidida-dah!” It was his rendition of the “call to post” that announces the arrival of horses on the racetrack.

“Bambi, I’ve got an itch,” Bill said. “The bugle’s calling. I’ve been selling hot dogs like crazy. I’ve got some money set aside. Pick a date. Let’s go.”

The winter meeting at Santa Anita was well into its second month, and we had yet to make our annual pilgrimage to the racetrack beneath the San Gabriel Mountains. I promised Bill I’d find a day that I could get away. That was my last conversation with him. Two nights later, he died unexpectedly but, by all reckoning, peacefully.

Fond memories will linger with his friends and his family in New Jersey — his mother, Betty Lou, and sisters, Maureen and Donna—where he raised hell as a young man. He will be missed by officials in his adopted state of California, with whom he sparred and whose support he won over as an advocate of military veterans’ rights; by the New York Yankees, who must have heard him hollering whenever they played games in L.A., Anaheim, or the Bay Area; and by the many South Coast residents and passers-by who visited him on the Carpinteria Bluffs, where he was endowed with a title: Hot Dog Man. Connell’s All-American Surf Dog cart, located around the corner from the prime surfing spot at Rincon, opened for business on July 1, 1992. He sold his first hot dog for $1. When I met him, the price was up to $3, still a great deal. He smothered my all-beef dog with sauerkraut at no extra cost. Then came the best part of our encounter: an hour of banter while he continued filling buns for a stream of customers and handing out Red Vines to the kids.

He came across as easygoing, but there was a glint in his eye that must have flared when he was in the boxing ring during the ’70s.

He was the U.S. Army’s heavyweight champion in Europe, and he achieved a professional record of 14 wins (eight by knockout), four losses, and a draw. His sister Maureen said he worked as a bouncer at several New Jersey bars where Bruce Springsteen played, and some of Connell’s friends claim that he’s the character “Weak Knee Willie” in Springsteen’s song “Rosalita.” I prefer to think he is described in the next line of the ballad: “Big Bone Billy.”

The Hot Dog Man had a passion for baseball and horse racing. He told stories about his adventures in racing, like the time he had $300 riding on a horse at an upstate New York track that had been swamped by heavy rains.“He’s just killing it, yes, a 35-to-1 shot, bang, bang, bang, bang, all the way around,” Bill recalled.

“Coming down the stretch, leading by 50 yards, he lugs in on the rail … hits his front quarters … flips up and over into a puddle, sucks in all the mud, and dies right there. I said, ‘Fellows, do you realize what just happened? We bet on a horse that drowned.’”

Several times a year thereafter, Bill and I went to the races at Santa Anita and Del Mar. He was an astute horseplayer. He did not believe in blind luck.

He studied the Daily Racing Form, looking for clues that certain horses may be undervalued and ready to

A Builder of Community

by L i s a s o L i n a s y father, George Solinas, was

a man of true moral courage.

When I was a child growing up, he had a way of explaining things that gave me perspective and allowed me to see the bigger picture. When he and my mom argued, I secretly, and sometimes not so secretly, took his side. This was easy for me to do because I was so much like him, but also because he had a way of seeing both sides of the argument and not just digging in for the fight. He was one of the most rational human beings I’ve ever known.

His energy and enthusiasm for everything, from building a new deck on the back of every house we moved into to making homemade ravioli “just for the fun of it,” were contagious.

My dad was the youngest of six children, born in Oakland, California, to Italian immigrant parents. His mother worked in the canneries and was a loving presence in his life. His dad became an alcoholic, and Dad would tell me stories about waiting under the stairs for him to get home in hopes that he could somehow fend off the abusive attacks on his mom that would often ensue.

When he married my mom, neither family was very thrilled. Her family was critical that he was not an intellectual but made his living working with his hands. His family did not like that he had married a Mexican, though they warmed up to her right away.

Our first home was in Oakland, where my parents made friends with the Abbotts, who were members of the Communist Party.

The Abbotts gradually began my parents’ political education. From there we moved to Berkeley, where we met the Levinsons, who became die-hard members of the Black

Panther party. They helped open my parents’ eyes to the struggles of all people of color.

My dad was an artist first but a builder, dreamer, and thinker in quick succession. He renovated a number of old homes for a living at first and then supervised the building of an alternative high school in the hills above Palo Alto. He helped farmworkers build “selfhelp housing,” one of his proudest accomplishments. He supervised and, in many ways, almost single-handedly brought the dream of a retirement village for the first Filipino grape boycotters to reality for César Chávez and the United Farm Workers (UFW).

Barack Obama recently recognized Agbayani Village as a historic landmark. After his time in Delano, my dad was asked by César to help refurbish an old tuberculosis sanitorium in the hills above Bakersfield into the UFW headquarters.

When we moved to Santa Barbara, the whole family would spend weekends and any spare time helping my dad turn an old warehouse in Santa Barbara into a community center. Complete with teatro and dance floor, it became known as La Casa de la Raza. As we planned a celebration of our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, the obvious choice of venues was La Casa. It was one heck of a party!

Dad started to lose his memory as he grew older, and his rational self became ravaged by the Lewy body dementia that peppered his final years. I still found many ways to learn from his enthusiasm and positivity. He loved to stare at the mountains of Los Padres forest, and he marveled every time he saw a jacaranda tree laden with purple blossoms.

“Wow!” he would say.“Isn’t that just the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?” n

Bicycle Master Plan Midnight Madness

T

by Randy ROwse, City Cou nCi lmember he transition of Tuesday the 23rd into

Wednesday the 24th found your City Council still deliberating the Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) consultant’s recommendations. Normally, we don’t chat that far into the night, but the impassioned speakers representing both sides of the argument kept the ball volleying across the net for about six hours. Even though the BMP update covers the entire city, the proposed removal of four blocks of parking on Micheltorena immediately west of the 101, involving both sides of the street and more than 85 parking spaces, ignited the red-hot controversy that manages still to glow.

The BMP advocates argued that a cogent plan needs to involve straight lines that employ a continuation of the Micheltorena 101 bridge’s bike lanes as part of the east-west “spine” connecting the Westside to downtown. An alternative was suggested that Sola Street, one block to the south, was a better option, on a quieter, wider street with no parking removal required.

This is where the plot thickens …

The Sola option was reported to be a more expensive one, in that two streetlights would be required to complete the plan. Micheltorena reportedly involved only striping, until it was revealed that three intersections would need physical modifications to create the width required. The cost of these modifications was not included in the presentation, leading some to question the “chicken and egg” nature of the proceeding. In any case, the use of Micheltorena would definitely involve the loss of at least 85 parking spaces. Our last parking structure’s cost per space was $46,000, making the replacement cost for those spaces close to $4 million. The loss was all too clear to the stakeholders living and running businesses on those four blocks.

Micheltorena is a busy thoroughfare for cars, trucks, and bicycles alike. It runs through a vibrant neighborhood that includes shops, restaurants, residences, and many professional health-care offices. This is also a neighborhood that, arguably, is “under-parked,” with increased planned residential densities on the near horizon. While BMP advocates claimed increased business patronage in areas served by bike lanes, most of the types of operations would not be applicable. The Santa Barbara Endoscopy Center is one of the medical facilities affected. Call me old-fashioned, but my bet is that most patients won’t be commuting on bike to their next colonoscopy.

I voted no on this proposal. I previously voted yes to update the BMP, as safe, reasonable bicycle pathways should be available. I have supported other bike and restriping projects in the past that have enhanced bike corridors. I cannot, however, imagine how stripping this mixed-use vibrant neighborhood of their parking serves our constituents, particularly when a seemingly reasonable alternative exists.

The Micheltorena neighborhood represents the very type of area that planners try to create, i.e., mixed use, high density on an arterial. But this isn’t civic planning theory or some zoning overlay; these are real people in real structures and businesses who have been there for decades but whose lives we intend to change with our policies. The message from City Council was, in my opinion, dismissive, to put it politely. We need to do n better.

don’t know if Sola or Mitcheltorena is better for getting thousands from the Westside to work under their own healthy power.

But vigorous support for making our city safe for grandmas and schoolkids on bikes is a great idea. Savings on infrastructure and health care are huge. Less traffic and parking competition benefit all residents. Property values are greater with less traffic, yet rent is more affordable the less people need a car.

This vote puts Santa Barbara on track to take our place among the world’s great cities — Barcelona, Copenhagen, Florence — beautiful places where a healthy population can get where they want under their own power.

The freeway is like a Berlin Wall through the community if you are not in a car. There are 22 car crossings of the freeway, a handful of small, aging pedestrian bridges with sharp 90-degree turns and pipe barriers that are challenging to get a bike with a kid seat through. There’s just one dedicated bike crossing.

Thousands of children on streets such as Salinas by Milpas or La Vuelta Road in Montecito are just a few hundred yards from the beach as the crow flies, but they will probably grow up without ever having gone there except in a car.

Without a car, crossing the freeway is inconvenient, life threatening, or impossible.

If the freeway were built today, at least 22 bike/ pedestrian crossings would be required, not as a gift to bicyclists and pedestrians but as minimal required mitigation for severing the hundreds of streets that used to connect from one side to the other.

In Europe, the demographics of those who cycle closely mirror the society as a whole: old and young, male and female. In Santa Barbara, bicycle commuters are disproportionately combat-ready young males.

This is no coincidence. An errand on the other side of the freeway is not unlike a mission behind enemy lines.

While tens of millions of dollars are spent to save motorists a few minutes on the road, very little money is spent to safeguard the lives of bicyclists or spare them long detours. No more money should be spent on streamlining the auto infrastructure as long as it is dangerous or impossible to get around by other means.

This inequity must be redressed first. At the very least, no road project should be funded that makes it more unpleasant to walk or bike.

As I write, it’s February and nearly 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Water agencies are fighting over the last drops in Cachuma. The latest science shows we could see two feet of sea-level rise in 35 years. We face a perfect storm of crises. When it’s time to decide which piece of dry land on which to relocate the sewage treatment plant, we’ll pine for the day when 100 parking spaces versus a bikeway seemed like a knotty conundrum.

We urgently need governance with gumption and vision to make adaptive changes for the long-term well-being of society over the legitimate concerns, focused opposition, and scary legal challenges of the few.

Regardless of the final location of the bikeway, I am super proud of our City Council and optimistic that with this kind of leadership, we can rise to the chaln lenges ahead.

Young and Homeless: Who Cares?

NOAH’S ANCHORAGE DOES: At 19 and

already a mother, Santa Barbara–born Daniella is a veteran of surviving on our streets.

Homeless off and on since she was 15, she’s grateful for help from the Noah’s Anchorage center, which tends to the needs of a group of young people who gather downtown, as well as kids on the road, just passing through.

Since the birth of her son, Lukas, now 7 months old, Daniella has been back living with her mother, but she’s keeping in touch with her homeless friends while job hunting with the help of Noah’s Anchorage and preparing for school at Santa Barbara City College.

Her ambition: to become an EMT (emergency medical technician). She’s wellspoken and shows a healthy measure of self-confidence.

On a daily basis, Noah’s Anchorage outreach and support specialist Jaan Landheer and other workers head out to contact homeless youths who live on the streets, often not knowing where their next meal is coming from or where they’ll sleep. Some are couch surfers, moving from place to place or briefly crashing with friends, squeezed into an apartment or car, always on the move. Others sleep in the bushes by the freeway.

“Most want to get off the street,” Daniella told me.“Some have drug problems.”

Noah’s is well-known among them and runs a drop-in center at 301 West Figueroa

Street, a few blocks from downtown. They go there when hungry or thirsty, or clothes are dirty or soaked from a rare rain and would benefit from a washing machine. Need time on a computer to check on a job application?

Could use a bed for the night in an emergency or help finding housing through a reducedcost program? Go to Noah’s.

I dropped in myself one afternoon for a chat with Landheer and then met Daniella for coffee at Starbucks. Her story? “I always had problems with my mom,” to the point where she had to leave home. Now that she’s back with Mom, she hopes to move out in a few months and become self-supporting.

The life of the homeless comes down to the basics, she said. “Where am I eating tonight?

Where am I sleeping?”At 18, she found herself pregnant and her boyfriend gone. A onetime Dos Pueblos High student, she then enrolled at La Cuesta continuation school but found it “super hard” to manage school, pregnancy, and life on the streets.

“I’m trying to get a job so I can move out,” she said, and in the meantime is on a long waiting list for Transition House family shelter.“I have a savings account, and I’m living on my tax return.” She also has a cell phone and says she’s computer-savvy.

Although she’s well aware that life on the mean streets is dangerous, the young men in the group “kind of protect” the girls so they

“get back to their camp space” safely at night, Daniella said.

She paints a picture of a brotherhood and sisterhood among the homeless youth, tending to look after one another, “making sure everyone has a blanket and has eaten.”

While homeless, “You meet lots of people and hear their stories,” she said. “I don’t judge people.”

Outreach specialist Landheer is local, too: La Colina, San Marcos High, and then UC Santa Cruz. At Noah’s Anchorage, “We’re looking for young people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We know most of the homeless around town and get to know their needs.

It’s a slow process.

“A majority of the local homeless are either looking for employment or working,” he said, and having trouble holding a job while living outdoors.

Those drifting in from out of town are encouraged to get in touch with their distant families or get in contact with an organization that in some cases pro- HELPING HAND: Through Noah’s Anchorage and its support vides a free bus ticket home. They’re also of teens, Daniella has left the streets and is entering college. advised on safer ways to travel, such as Noah’s Anchorage works with youth up avoiding hitchhiking, Landheer said.

“A lot of the time, they are running away to age 24, supported by the Channel Islands from abusive situations or are just done with YMCA Youth and Family Services program and a federal grant. — Barney Brantingham traveling and want to go home.”

he news that the Carpinteria school board has postponed its decision to fund a dual-enrollment Spanish-immersion program is disappointing. The program would start at Canalino School in fall 2016 and provide intensive Spanish-language education to public school students. The board apparently based its decision on the program’s $50,000 price tag.

Okay, $50,000 is not nothing. But that money would be a down payment on our children’s future in California, a place where Spanish-language proficiency will be the key that unlocks doors to jobs, education, and greater cultural understanding. The value of that?

Priceless.

King, stated in a New York Times article that dual-enrollment programs can be “a vehicle to increase socioeconomic and racial diversity in schools.” They help combat “school segregation.” This is a win for a stratified public school district whose student body no longer reflects the economic and racial diversity of Carpinteria. Dual enrollment is the carrot this town needs to lure a diverse mix of families back into public schools.

Carpinteria can’t afford to say no.

— Maureen Foley, Carpinteria

Cheers, Salud

I

t appalls me that someone would try to cast doubt on Salud Carbajal’s fitness to represent us in Congress by implying he has been personally financially irresponsible. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Supervisor Carbajal’s history tells a typical American story of starting with nothing, managing to get an advanced education and raise a family, serving in the military, and working as a public servant. His wife works in the nonprofit sector; he draws a government salary far lower than you might expect. This is a story of juggling to make ends meet in a very expensive place to live and living with the debt that so many have.

Carbajal is not in default. His taxes are paid up and have been for over 15 years. He lives on the lower Westside. On the Board of Supervisors, he has been a voice for fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget.

I suppose his opponents have nothing stronger to use and are resorting to these innuendos to derail his

campaign. In doing so, they insult the many struggling residents who also carry debts and live modestly, and who deserve a congressional representative who will fight for them — as Salud will.

— Lee Heller, Summerland

A Vote for Joan Hartmann

I

have attended many public meetings in my long career in government and as a community leader.

Chairing them takes a deft touch. One of the best I have ever witnessed was Joan Hartmann as chair of the County Planning Commission. She had not been in the role long, but she was very adept at listening, really listening, to public speakers.

During deliberations, she encouraged discussion — not just pontifications — among her fellow commissioners. She demonstrated great skill in bringing them along to support her positions. She truly excelled at asking staff hard questions — questions they sometimes could not answer. On occasion, overcoming staff inertia and resistance, she insisted that they present actual options instead of spoonfeeding a conclusion to the Planning Commission.

She had to do her homework and was ready and able to challenge questionable statements while maintaining an atmosphere of dignity and respect.

If you want a truly capable leader, vote for Joan Hartmann for 3rd District Supervisor.

— Dave Davis, S.B.

I don’t drink coffee. Why do my teeth stain?

There are a variety of foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. Enamel is porous so it can pick up the color from what you eat like a sponge. You might be surprised to learn that it is not just coffee, tea, soda and red wine that can stain your teeth.

The following can be staining culprits as well:Curry, Red Meat, Soy Sauce, Balsamic Vinegar Orange Juice, Chilies, Spinach, Ketchup, BBQ Sauce, Pickles, Beets If the food is acidic, it’s best to rinse with water after you eat and wait 30 minutes before brushing so you do not damage your enamel. Stains on your teeth can be polished with a dental cleaning or professional whitening if you would like to brighten your smile further.

heartbreak

and hope santa BarBara CoUple ple on Front lines oF reFUgee Crisis

by tyler hayden

Just the Beginning: Refugees feel a mixture of relief and joy upon reaching Greece. They face untold hardships on the rest of their journey through Europe.

I

t was early last November, and Robert and Robin Jones

were eating a late dinner with friends on the Greek island of Lesbos, their home away from home. Ahead was a small harbor bobbing with blueand-white fishing boats; behind them, the one-street village surrounded by olive groves and sheep trails. Turkish minarets shimmered through the cold night air five miles across the Aegean Sea. Suddenly they saw Greek coast guard officers sprinting toward the marina. The Joneses knew right away that another refugee boat had capsized. An ambulance arrived with doctors and stretchers. A crowd of villagers gathered to wait. Everyone had seen this all before.

The coast guard returned with a man and his two unconscious children, a boy and girl ages 3 and 5. Their mother had drowned. The family, fleeing a warravaged Middle East, had been crossing from Turkey to Greece in an overcrowded boat when rough waters threw passengers overboard. Medics tried but failed to resuscitate the little girl.

The boy died on the way to the hospital.

These heartbreaking scenes are hard to talk about for Robert and Robin. The beautiful island of Lesbos, where they have lived on and off for 42 years, has now become a flashpoint for the refugee crisis sweeping Europe and Asia. But since last fall, when they returned to their home in Santa Barbara, they have felt compelled to tell their friends and community what they have witnessed: the tragedies as well as the faith, courage, and kindness displayed by the thousands of refugees and the volunteers who, like themselves, rushed to help in any way they could.“Everywhere was desperation and beauty,” said Robert.

When the Joneses arrived to their house in the village of Molyvos last April, fewer than 150 refugees a week were land-

photos by robin jones ing on the island. By the time they left in November, more than 3,000 a day were clamoring onto the beaches. And the numbers still keep rising. So far this year, at least 120,000 refugees have escaped through Turkey to the Greek islands of Samos, Kos, and Lesbos, a tenfold increase over the same period last year, according to the International Organization for Migration. More than 400 have died making the crossing. An average of two children are drowning every day.

Back in Santa Barbara, Robert and Robin describe grim realities beyond the statistics.

They aren’t fundraising, and they don’t have a political agenda, but they have spoken before a few groups when asked.“We’re just trying to give people the opportunity to feel what we feel,” said Robin. The couple, who raised three sons and ran a travel business in Santa Barbara for 28 years, offers a lens through which we can begin to comprehend the real human toll that the violence is taking on families throughout Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq — families, the Joneses say, not unlike ours.

“These aren’t terrorists,” said Robin, sitting in their living room on the Riviera. “These are human beings. Many are college-educated, middle-class people who have lost everything.” During their eight months on Lesbos, she and Robert met teachers, construction workers, merchants, doctors, and a leather maker. “It’s every type of person,” said Robert. They’re escaping bombing, torture, chemical warfare, and wholesale slaughter. Most arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs, where they hide IDs and cash.

Many carry cell phones they use to contact loved ones stuck behind or in countries they hope to reach.

At one of the island’s two transit camps, Robin met a Syrian woman named Sahar Kharsa. She recorded their conversation.

Kharsa, who studied English literature in college and was six months pregnant, said she and her husband, an electrical engineer, left their country because it had become too dangerous for him. ISIS leaders in Syria have reportedly been forcing men to fight for the militant group. Those who refuse are killed.

“Our dream,” Kharsa said, “is to live a happy life—me, my husband, and our baby.”

World Upside-doWn

Life was normally easy and quiet in Molyvos. Approximately 1,000 Greeks live in whitewashed houses cascading down a gentle hill below an ancient Genoese fortress. Fishing and olives bring in some money, but tourism had been the island’s lifeblood. Visitors spent leisurely days in the mild climate, experiencing, as Robin said, “the joy of simple living.”

All of that has changed.

The tourists have stopped coming. The groups of migrants huddled along Molyvos’s streets have left villagers — already in the vise of Greek’s financial crisis—panicked for their livelihoods. Tensions run high.

A number of villagers refuse to offer aid, believing it will only encourage more waves of refugees. But they’re in the minority, said the Joneses.

The rest of the townspeople have transformed into frontline responders alongside volunteers from all over the world. They

Antioch’s Open House

tRAiL OF FeARs: Thousands of refugees are streaming out of the war-torn Middle East and into Turkey, where they board flimsy dinghies and small wooden boats to reach Lesbos and the other Greek islands. From there, they travel north to European countries, seeking asylum. While Germany’s borders remain open, the Balkan states between it and Greece are rapidly shutting their gates, leaving migrants stranded.

We invite you to an evening Open House at our downtown campus to learn more about ways to meet your educational and career goals.

lift women and children from wrecked boats, pass out food and water, collect trash, clean porta-potties, and offer translation services and medical care. Fishermen are regularly rescuing refugees out of the sea.“The rest of the world may be Greece-weary and refugee-weary,” said Robin, “but when you’re there and you see them, it’s an easy choice to help.”

For much of the spring and summer, shockingly little aid was supplied to the island by the Greek government or any other European Union nation. Politics and xenophobia are to blame, said Robert. Only recently have relief organizations such as the UN Refugee Agency and IsraAID started to build an infrastructure of meager meals and shelters.

Groups like Doctors Without Borders are finally arriving.

But still absent are the Red Cross tents and American dollars one might expect for such a critical waypoint in the largest forced migration of people since World War II.“The United States, in my view, are late to the game,” said Robin. “We have to do something,” she continued. “We at least should be talking about it.”

She and Robert did what they could. They regularly loaded their car with fruit and bread they bought from small grocery stores. They said hello and offered rides. “We felt a need to connect with our eyes and acknowledge them,” Robin said. Robert passed out toys and cleaned beaches. Every night he wrote about their experiences, as he tried to sort out the reality unfolding around them. Like the sound of a helicopter overhead: “Does it mean Bono is finally showing up to bring attention,” he would wonder, “or has a rescue mission turned into a search mission?”

Robin, an art teacher, would lay a tablecloth on the ground for children to draw. They sketched tanks and guns, but also flowers and dogs.

Streaks of blue represented the water they had just crossed. Their parents were grateful for the short reprieve to normalcy. Everyone, adults and kids alike, was unfailingly patient and polite, said Robert, save for a few minor scuffles when the despair became too much. “The respect of the people among themselves was overwhelming.”

Last month, Lesbos citizens were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Singled out was 83-year-old Aimilia Kamvisi for her work with children. “I felt like they were my own grandkids,” she told CNN. “We are from the same planet under the same God.”Another resident, Maria Androulaki, said to reporters, “We are monsters if we don’t do this— why should we be given a prize for being human beings?”

the long road ahead

The majority of refugees come to Europe by sea, across the Mediterranean to Greece, Italy, or Spain. A few attempt the overland route through Turkey and then Albania. They may apply for asylum in the first EU country they reach, but more likely they push north toward Germany,

Fresh perspeCtive

Yet the Joneses refuse to give up hope. They hold onto proof of the indomitable human sprit they saw on Lesbos, and they learned that though a few selfless acts can’t solve any big problems, they do make a difference. “I had always heard about people who volunteered, but I never quite got it,” said Robert. “Now I do.” Robin keeps thinking about those they met.“Their faces are etched in my mind forever. I wish I could know where each one went.”

On Lesbos, migrants who land near Molyvos on its remote northern shore face a 40-mile, three-day trek over mountains to reach a ferry in Mytilene that will take them to Athens. Robert and Robin became a taxi service for many of them, cramming seven people into their backseat and holding shivering children on their laps. They were happy to see jubilation on the refugees’ faces during their first few hours on EU soil, but dreaded what lay ahead for them. “I couldn’t get the car to go slow enough,” said Robert. He would crank up the heat and turn on music. “I just FResh MeMORies: With paper and pens provided by the Joneses, wanted them to have children often drew the Aegean Sea they have crossed, and the viothat moment.” lence their families have fled.

The couple is thinking about returning to Molyvos in April, as long as the island remains safe enough. To them, it’s a duty. “We have to help,” said Robin. “It is our obligation.” In the meantime, they’re settling back into their Santa Barbara routine, but with a new outlook. Homeowners association meetings about landscaping suddenly don’t seem so important. “We learned some good lessons there,” said Robert.“It was a big jump in reality.” Robin agreed.“You get a choice in life. You get to choose where you put your energy.”

And, even after more than four decades together, they saw something new in one another. “You amazed me,” Robin said to Robert.“We amazed each other,” he replied. n

3D Printers @ s.B. Central liBrary Two years ago, with the help of Santa Barbara Hackerspace, the Santa Barbara Public Library began its Mondayafternoon Makerspace Program, where anyone can come and use the Tech Lab to create whatever projects they have dreamed up. Thanks to a donation from the Orfalea Foundation, the Santa Barbara Central Library now has two 3D printers in its Tech Lab, which are open for public use on Mondays from 4-7 p.m., provided you bring your own materials and design. “The whole point of this is to get the public acquainted with new technologies,” said Hong Lieu (right), the network system tech who oversees the Makerspace Program. This handy addition to the community has even helped the S.B. Museum of Natural History create 3D-printed replicas of fossils of an early human ancestor (discovered in a South African cave) for a future exhibit.

Women and Wealth

amed the Financial Educator of the Year in 2010 by the National Financial Educators Council, Elisabeth Donati has enjoyed worldwide success. Her financial programs have been bought and sold in more than eight countries, and her summer camp program is now at more than a dozen locations. Nicknamed the Financial Literacy Lady, Donati comes to Santa Barbara this March 12-13 to share her financial expertise with women at a workshop titled Celebrating Women & Wealth.

Donati’s mission to spread financial literacy began in 2002, when she started a summer camp program to teach kids about money. “I didn’t understand why it wasn’t taught in school,” Donati said, “and then I realized, ‘Oh, they’re teaching to the test … and there’s no extra time, energy, or money to learn about financial education.’ ” The summer program, known as the Money Camp, eventually grew into Creative Wealth International, LLC, a company which develops financial-education programs targeted at kids.

That company has since expanded its focus to include women, whom Donati says face distinct

4·1·1

financial disadvantages. These include loss of earning potential due to child rearing, health care that is more expensive than men’s, and higher retirement costs due to women’s longer average life spans. This weekend’s workshop will teach women new ways of thinking about money, including an examination of what Donati calls the “Six M’s of Money”: minding, making, managing, multiplying, mending, and mentoring. For moms especially, the latter “M” translates into what first got Donati started on her mission: sharing financial education with the next generation.

“One of the things that I tell parents is, from the get-go, you need to set the very best example you can in terms of how you talk about money, what Elisabeth Donati you do with money, what kids are seeing you do with money, the emotions that you have around money, and the emotions that you put the kids through,” Donati said.

And setting that example starts with women getting educated themselves. “An educated woman is a better investor, an educated woman is a better mother, an educated woman is a better wife — better community member— because she’s strong.” member — Sydnee Fried courtesy

The Celebrating Women & Wealth workshop takes place Saturday-Sunday, March 12-13, at Fess Parker’s DoubleTree Resort (633 E. Cabrillo Blvd.). Call 957-1024 or visit celebratingwomenandwealth.com.

Andy Cohen (left) and Anderson Cooper

Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen @ arlington theatre

Y

ou wouldn’t necessarily expect Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen to be the best of buds. One is highly esteemed for his coverage of presidential elections and disaster zones; the other, for his provocative reality shows and his party-boy, talk-show witticism. Yet the CNN anchor/CBS correspondent and Real Housewives producer have become one of TV’s most beloved power couples, and this Saturday, they take their friendship to the Arlington stage in AC²: Deep Talk and Shallow Tales.

“It’s a very informal, fun, spirited conversation between us and between the audience and us,” Cooper says of the evening. “There’s no difference between hanging out with us or coming to see the show — it has that kind of intimacy.”

The two ACs famously first became acquainted over a blind date (no romance ensued), and over the course of their 20-year connection, the two Emmy Award‒winning media personalities have bonded over similar experiences and interests — from their shared understanding of media demands and being openly gay celebrities to their mutual love of travel.

The two decided to take their friendship on the road simply for the fun of it, to meet new fans and explore new cities, but also as an extension of their personalities. “I don’t think anything we do is anything really deliberate,” says Cohen. “It just kind of goes along with what we do in our lives.”

“It’s nice to be working now in a time when the person you can be on TV is the person you are,” Cooper said. With Cohen, there’s “no dif difference between who he is live and who he is when the camera stops rolling,” Cooper says, while Cohen jokes, “The version of Anderson that appears onstage is the best version of Anderson, while the offstage version … is a bittersweet letdown.” The flavor of the show is totally spontaneous, Cohen said, with audience questions as “all over the map” as the cities they stop in.

When asked what kind of Real Housewives the two would make, Cohen says he “would try to be humorous and confrontational and dramatic,” though Cooper caveats that Cohen is in reality the most “even-keeled, fun-to-be-around, and happy” person he knows. As for Cooper? “I would never be a Real Housewife. It’s exhausting— exhausting you have to be drinking a lot of pinot grigio, and I’m just not a drinker.

It just seems like so much drama. I’m like Mary J. Blige. I don’t want drama.”

Are All Museums

Sex MuSeuMS? T

“One screening saved my life!”

Police Sergeant, Mike McGrew, age 52.

our a museum with a mathematician, and she’ll point out the

angles built into the artwork, the proportions of the figures.

Tour one with a painter, and she’ll fixate on techniques, brushstrokes, and palettes. No surprise, then, that when I toured the Santa Barbara Museum of Art last week with a feminist studies professor and former bondage museum curator, well, the whole place smacked of sex.

Thought museums were sedate and sterile, did you? Take the arm of Jennifer Tyburczy, assistant UCSB professor and author of the new book Sex Museums: The Politics and Performance of Display, and you’ll discover they’re actually dirty dens of debauchery — in, like, the really good way.

Tyburczy earned her PhD while working as a curator at Chicago’s Leather Archives & Museum, a collection of galleries dedicated to fetishism and sadomasochism. But in her book, she argues that all museums — including our lovely local collection of Renoirs and Monets — are sex museums.

“Works of art mean one thing on their face,” she says, “but it’s also important where they are, who’s looking at it, and what they bring to it.”

Tyburczy is an academic at heart, tossing off phrases like “congealing into a theoretical concept and analytical category.”

But when she’s looking at art? What she brings to it? Titillating stuff.

Take the ancient and innocuousseeming Chinese earthenware sculpture “Horse with Lady Rider.” “That’s interesting because she’s not sitting sidesaddle,” Tyburczy notes. “We have this representation of Chinese femininity from the 7th century where she’s pressing her genitals to the horse, which is a huge no-no …

That’s quite exciting to me.”

Then there’s Alejandro Cartagena’s email: starshine@roshell.com “Carpoolers 20,” a bird’s-eye photo of Mexican laborers piled into the back of a pickup truck.“This image, I read it as homosocial, potentially homoerotic,” she says, arguing that the men are living in close quarters and, you know.“Some of them may be queer, some may be trans, right? We can’t always assume.” Soon she’s offering a history of anti-sodomy laws, and small groups of gallery strollers are snapping their heads around to hear her.

“This one’s kinda hot,” she purrs, sidling up beside Eugène Delacroix’s 19th-century oil painting “The Last Words of Marcus Aurelius.”“I mean, ohh, yeahhh. All the men gathered around the bed of this really ripped Marcus, the dying emperor, who still looks really gorgeous? It looks like he might have an earring. And the way he’s holding his muscles! I find this to be an erotic piece, definitely — eroticism between men, which would be completely germane to the time period. This is during the time of, like, Caligula! It was entirely possible,” she breaks into a stage whisper, “that they were all having sex!”

She teaches me the difference between nude and, well, nekkid.

“Nudes are gonna be the arching of the back, the bared breast, the look,” she says, striking a coy, come-hither stance. “Very pinup girl. It’s about hailing the possessor.”

She talks a lot about this look —“the gaze”— but sometimes I think she’s saying “the gays.” I’m confused. I’m flummoxed, too, when academia comes marching off her tongue. When she speaks of “exposing the heteronormativity of museums and then dealing with ethically fraught objects in queer cultures” … I blink. She waits patiently. I blink.

In the end, though, she tells me plainly that hunting for sexual cues where you’d least expect to find them isn’t a pastime she invented.

“In a sense,” she says, “I’m paying homage to a long history of savvy queers who’ve always navigated the dominant space looking for clues as to where they can access eroticism, or be accepted, or find lovers, or friends and community.”

And suddenly I get it. Titillation aside, it’s an invaluable exercise to adjust one’s gaze from time to time (not one’s gays — they’re great) and see things from another perspective — within a different set of frames, so to speak. It’s refreshing. Informative. Eye-opening.

It’ll be a long time before I ride sidesaddle through a museum again.

Red Wine for dodGeR Blue B Bob Lindquist of Qupé Crafts Syrah and Chardonnay for L.A.’s Boys of Summer

syrah grape. The founder and winemaker of Santa Maria Valley’s Qupé wine cellars has combined those enthusiasms into the first-ever bottlings of Dodgerlabel wines.

His path started in a vintage year for the ball club.

“I started following the Dodgers in 1965 when I was 12,” Lindquist said. “Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale were pitching. That was heady stuff. They won the World Series in seven games against the Twins that year. I took a radio with an earpiece to school so I could listen to the weekday games.”

He lived in Costa Mesa, and the Angels were closer to home, but “I preferred the old-school Dodgers.”

A decade later, Lindquist, enraptured by his first taste of really good wine, wanted to learn how the stuff was made. He moved north to Hollister and worked as “a harvest slave” at small wineries in the Hecker Pass area. Eventually he found his way to Santa Barbara County and was “a tour guide and cellar rat” at Zaca Mesa Winery. “Jim Clendenen [then the assistant winemaker] took me under his wing,” he said. In 1982, Clendenen and Lindquist started their own wineries, Au Bon Climat and Qupé, sharing the same production facility east of Santa Maria.

Syrah, a grape that produces a midnight-blue juice, was Lindquist’s favorite varietal from the get-go, even though it was not well-known at the time. “I wasn’t sure how well it would sell, but I’m passionate about it,” Lindquist said. He is a pioneer among the Rhône Rangers, vintners who specialize in grapes native to the Rhône Valley of France. He also makes chardonnay, the ever-popular white varietal.“It helps pay the bills,” he said.

His biggest splurge was to purchase a share of some box seats at Dodger Stadium. Throughout the wine country, he is known as “Dodger Bob.” He made some of his better wines in 1988, the last time the Dodgers won the World Series. “I had tickets to Game 6, but it never happened,” he said. The Dodgers beat the Oakland As in five games.

Lindquist had to watch the San Francisco Giants win the World Series three times in the last six years, which led

TRUE BLUE: Qupé founder and winemaker Bob Lindquist has combined his enthusiasms for syrah, chardonnay, and the Dodgers into the firstever bottlings of Dodger-label wines.

to Mumm Napa producing a $125 Championship Brut sparkling wine. He decided the Dodgers should have their own wine produced by a true Dodger fan. Thus were born the Qupé Dodger Syrah (2013 vintage) and Chardonnay (2014). They were released on March 1 with a price tag of $24 a bottle. The labels feature the Dodgers script on a blue background, with the Qupé poppy in the red color of the uniform numbers. “Getting the rights [to use the Dodgers brand] was costly,” Lindquist said.

With 1,100 cases of each produced, the wines will be showing up at Southern California grocery stores and wine shops. Don’t expect any “bottle-head” giveaways at Dodger Stadium. “They’ll have it for the people who spend money at the Stadium Club and suites,” Lindquist said.

He is pleased with the way the wines have turned out. “I don’t make big, heavy wines,” he said. “I try to make them elegant—like the way [L.A. first baseman] Adrian Gonzalez plays.”

He’ll be serving the wines at a dinner with a dozen fans in Scottsdale, Arizona, on March 15 after the Dodgers play the Chicago White Sox in a spring-training game. “I’ve invited [White Sox manager] Robin Ventura,” Lindquist said.“He’s

a good friend who lives in Arroyo Grande. I’m hoping he can bring Dave Roberts along.”

Roberts is the new Dodgers manager. He and Ventura were L.A. teammates for a time in 2004, Ventura’s last year as a player. Roberts finished that year in Boston. He stole a base in the American League Championships that triggered the Red Sox’s historic comeback against the Yankees. It was a move that signified Roberts’s reputation as a leader.

“I like Roberts a lot,” Lindquist said.“I’m always optimistic at this time of year. [The Dodgers] have a balanced lineup.

I’m looking for Joc Pederson and Corey Seager to become more consistent at the plate. I want to see Clayton Kershaw continue pitching well and Scott Kazmir get back to his old form. I’d like to see Hyun-jin Ryu get healthy.”

But Lindquist is not sure how much of it he’ll manage to see unless he attends the games. He subscribes to DirecTV, one of the major providers (including Cox Cable in Santa Barbara) that do not carry Time Warner Cable’s SportsNet L.A., which televises most Dodger games, because of a prolonged impasse over the money involved.

When a story about the Qupé wines appeared on the Dodgers’ website, a fan wrote in the comments section: “If I n buy a bottle will I be able to see a game on TV?”

n 2014, Irina Skoeries was struck by an autoimmune disease that inflamed her entire body and had no conventional cure. “I couldn’t walk or drive without pain from the pressure,” she explained. “I stood in my kitchen and remember the moment that I thought, ‘I am going to heal.’”

She removed sugar and gluten from her diet, got better, and started The Dancing Chef, a meal-delivery business that’s focused on antiinflammatory cuisine. “Sometimes I think I’m lucky that the inflammation came, because it could have been much worse,” said Skoeries, who learned from the experience that “you can make delicious, amazing food that also increases peace in the body.”

Though not professionally trained in the kitchen, Skoeries has been surrounded by food her entire life. “I grew up in Europe and worked in a lot of high-end restaurants,” said the German-raised private chef who cooks for families in Montecito. “I’m like a sponge when it comes to food.” She currently makes her meals out of a commercial kitchen but one day hopes to open a café of her own.

Here are some of The Dancing Chef’s favorite offerings.

GoGo Cleanse & Smoothie: This six-day food cleanse doesn’t rely on juice, like so many others. “You just eat very, very clean,” said Skoerie, whose nickname is GoGo. “You give your body a rest for six days. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are delivered, and you can choose what you want to eat when — no fruit, nuts, dairy, soy, or grains. It’s the very basic version of what healed me.” The GoGo Smoothie features romaine, spinach, avocado, mint, and a bit of stevia,“all pureed,” she said,“for the texture.”

HANA KITCHEN OPENS DOWNTOWN:

Reader Steve H tells me that the popular rice bowl and boba tea restaurant Hana Kitchen in Isla Vista has opened a second location at 5 West Haley Street, the former home of Tacos El Rey, Magic Pita Café, and Greek House Café. I know it is popular because I live near Isla Vista and frequently pass through the college town. Hana Kitchen at 6558 Pardall Road is always packed.

In addition to a variety of boba tea drinks, Hana Kitchen offers three rice bowls:

 Chicken Rice Bowl with fresh grilled chicken leg meat over a bed of white Calrose rice and lightly stir-fried vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, and carrots). Served with made-from-scratch teriyaki sauce.  Beef Rice Bowl with traditional Japanese style beef, thinly sliced and marinated in house sukiyaki sauce. Served over a bed of white Calrose rice and lightly stir-fried vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, and carrots). Marinade contains onions and white wine.  Vegan Chicken Rice Bowl, which includes soybased vegan chicken over a bed of white Calrose rice and lightly stir-fried vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, and carrots). Served with made-from-scratch teriyaki sauce.

FIRE & ICE CAFÉ OPENS IN ISLA VISTA:

Reader Eric tells me he dined at Fire & Ice Café, which opened recently at 971 Embarcadero del Mar in Isla Vista, the former home of Pita Pit. The business is a coffee shop, smoothie and juice bar, and Internet café and describes itself as follows: “Our Mission is to provide the best boba drinks, freshest boba pearls, brewed with real tea leaves, and no chalky powders.” Hours are MondayThursday 3 p.m.-midnight, Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-2 a.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-midnight. Visit icemilkco.com.

VONS REOPENS: Readers Barry and Annie let

me know Vons has reopened at 163 South Turnpike Road in Goleta, putting an end to the failed experiment that was Haggen.

TACO BELL RECONSTRUCTION BEGINS:

Readers Rachel, Cris, Matt, KD, and Annie tell me that the wrecking ball swung down and smashed to pieces the structure that was Taco Bell at 140 North Fairview Avenue in Goleta. The building will be replaced with the standard Taco Bell design rather than the square-UFO motif.

CALLE REAL UPDATE: Reader Jennifer tells me

that she noticed some patio work being done at 5940 Calle Real in Goleta, the former home of The Fig Grill and Fresco Café North. I am also told that the for-rent sign is now gone.

NEW CHEF AT UNIVERSITY CLUB: The Uni-

versity Club of Santa Barbara at 1332 Santa Barbara Street has announced its new executive chef, Marc Meynenc, a Michelin-star-award-winning French chef. Meynenc recently sold his catering business, Boutique Catering, in Santa Barbara, where he and his wife catered to stars of Hollywood, CEOs, and politicians. Besides presiding over the kitchen at Chez Alex, a restaurant in Cologne, Germany, Meynenc’s career includes tours at Tanglewood (managing three restaurants and serving as the exclusive chef for the Boston Symphony Orchestra), London’s Hyde Park Hotel, and restaurants in Australia, Switzerland, Germany, India, Los Angeles, and Napa Valley.

Timbre mbre Winery Opening Act Rosé 2015: Opening act, m indeed. This release is one of the first since winemaker Joshua Klapper changed the name of his 10-year-old La Fenêtre brand to Timbre. But think music, not lumberjacks, for he’s using the term (pronounce it TAM-ber TAM-ber) to refer to what makes the voice remarkable. That’s fitting, for Klapper’s wines always have a lot of voice.

For instance, this rosé is a thrilling and pure expression of some of the best pinot noir in Santa Barbara County, from the Bien Nacido, Presqu’ile, and John Sebastiano vineyards. Crafted in 50 percent stainless and 50 percent neutral French oak, it’s got structure, but it relies mostly on the voice of fine fruit that sings a song of strawberry.

It would be lovely beside some roast chicken and chanterelles as a toast to spring.

StorieS of aRRoyo Hondo A highlight of driving west on the highway past Ellwood is the view of the shoreline’s angular sandstone ribs, the youthful uplift of ancient sediments that line up parallel to the coast. This dramatic geomorphology crests at Santa Ynez Peak above El Capitan. Below, grasslands cover the nearby Rincon shale, and ceanothus chaparral encases steeper Vaqueros sandstone slopes above.

The rocks, like the highway, trend west; both are regularly interrupted by canyons running south, slowly eroding the mountains into the Pacific. One of the deepest and most picturesque is the Arroyo Hondo, between Refugio and Gaviota.

In her brilliantly illustrated new book, Stories of Arroyo Hondo, author (and well-known area artist) Chris Chapman dissects the canyon’s human

stratigraphy. In explicating its historic layers, she presents an archetype of our region’s history, starting more than 5,000 years ago with Chumash antecedents and their historic village of Tuxmu.

The historic photographs are of great interest — they include the canyon’s prominent Ortega and Hollister residents as well as its classic Mexicanperiod adobe house. The photos, some previously unpublished, are complemented by 32 plein air paintings by Chapman and her talented husband, John Iwerks. Many illustrate the canyon’s native flora.

One of the most interesting sections is devoted to the Arroyo Hondo’s role in transportation, from Silverio Konoyo’s plank canoes to the canyon’s stagecoach stop/café from 1863-1900 to the

stunning 529-foot concrete two-lane highway bridge built in 1918 to the all-but-ruination of the mouth of the canyon in 1949 by the state highway department’s earth fill for a four-lane highway.

A Ramble Through IrIsh hIstory

I

n the mid-1990s, the Celtic Tiger swept through Ireland, bringing unprecedented economic growth to the ancient island and introducing the world to its music and dance.

But Riverdance and The Corrs are merely the pop side of Erin’s contemporary culture; dig a bit deeper, and you find the tapestry of music, storytelling, and language that shaped the soul of the Emerald Isle—which is exactly what Diarmuid Johnson (pictured) does in his program The Crooked Road.

A scholar, musician, poet, and multilinguist, Johnson has put together an evening that incorporates his areas of expertise. “To understand life in Ireland in the past without understanding Gaelic—it’s very difficult to penetrate it,” Johnson told me in a recent interview. Because the people thought in Gaelic, expressed themselves in Gaelic, sung in Gaelic, and their whole world was built up of cross-references of things in the Gaelic language. So [in the show] sometimes I recite a piece in Gaelic or try to sing a piece in Gaelic so people have an impression then—so it’s not an intellectual thing, it’s more an emotional reaction to the sound, to the resonance.”

The Crooked Road tour, which included several stops on the East Coast, was designed for Irish Americans, Johnson explained. “[They] might be aware of things that happened in history even from the 17th century with the flight of the Earls and the emergence of British power, but before that, the medieval period and early Christianity, is less well known,” he said. The show in its entirety is 10 chapters, but Johnson pares it down for time’s sake. “I might do three or four or a selection so each chapter is between about eight and 15 minutes long. There’s usually a piece of music, maybe a song or a text of some sort, and then an anecdote. … So people find themselves discovering something new, even though they’re not sure what it is,” he laughed.

Johnson will present The Crooked Road Sunday, March 13, at 2 p.m. at Hillside House, 1235 Veronica Springs Road. Seating is limited.

The traditional hierarchy is being threatened as members of once-subservient groups begin to assert themselves.

a&e | PoP, Rock & Jazz PREVIEW Loreena McKennitt

SongS oF the Siren T

he last time Loreena McKennitt swung through the West Coast in 2007, I caught her show in San Diego, and it was pretty much soul-restorative: Her warm, crystalline soprano was in fine form, soaring over a thick welter of world-music instrumentation. Her band layered on the riffs, chord changes, and solo fills into slow-build mini-epics of hypnotic pagan celebration like “All Souls Night” or “The Mummers’ Dance,” or, as in “The Old Ways” and “Never-Ending Road,” McKennitt’s voice cradled the yearning pathos of those songs until they yielded up the deep,, pure Irish melancholy that is her music’s hallmark. As the applause subsided after one song, the audience waited, hushed, and McKennitt moved from harp to piano to start something new. And then some guy in the audience — I’m guessing he was in his thirties — with timing any comic would envy, called out: “Will you be my mom?”

The audience broke up. McKennitt laughed, too, but she seemed embarrassed and didn’t know what to say—maybe because the fellow was onto something. McKennitt comes across on albums, in performance, in her thoughtful liner notes, and in interviews as an unfailingly responsible and caring human being. Her music is all about sympathy and tolerance, and an inclusiveness that’s just as eager to mix instruments and styles from vastly different musical traditions as it is to mix different spiritual beliefs. She loves the land, has great empathy for suffering, and worries deeply that the first world is hurling itself mindlessly into hyper-technology; yet she’s as open to fun as she is to seriousness, and clearly loves literature (she’s put poems

by Shakespeare, Yeats, St. John of the Cross, and Tennyson to music, often making them more beautiful than they already are). Without getting sentimental, and without pulling punches about how tragic life can get, her music has that strong maternal quality that feels like living proof that pain and struggle can be redeemed by an understanding tenderness.

Her current tour, which stops at the Lobero Theatre on March 15 after shows in Texas, Arizona, and L.A., utilizes a stripped-down version of the ensemble she’s been working with for the last couple of decades. Instead

4•1•1

Loreena McKenniTT StopS in S.B. on FirSt tour in a DecaDe

by Cornel Bonca of hurdy-gurdies, ouds, loads of percussion, and lush synthesizers from a dozen players, McKennitt is restricting the show to herself on harp and piano, Caroline Lavelle on a passionate cello, and the versatile Brian Hughes on guitars. “People were writing in,” she explained during an interview one afternoon before her show in Austin,“saying they missed some of the simpler arrangements. And,, of course, the pragmatic reason was that we hadn’t toured here since 2007 and I wasn’t sure how many people were still on board.”

She needn’t have worried — nine shows on this current tour have already sold out—but touring with three players changes things.

“Certainly,” she agreed. “It lets me speak a bit more and share some of the research and the travels behind the songs and lets me share some of the crazy episodes and antics that have happened to me. And it allows for more intimacy.”

McKennitt may need the intimacy of a trio because this show is thematically focused on her Celtic roots, which have taken her well beyond Irish music to the culture and music of ancient and medieval Celtic outposts in Spain, Italy, Turkey, even China. In between renditions of gorgeous folk classics and soaring originals, she confides in the audience, pointing out the contemporary relevance of 200-year-old songs about beautiful trees mowed down for profit (“Bonny Portmore”) or century-old poems about children’s lives stolen by a world “more full of weeping than [they] can understand” (W.B. Yeats’s “The Stolen Child”)—our current troubles, McKennitt said emphatically, coming from the “connection technologies” so many of our children are now addicted to.

McKennitt’s shows are part history lesson, part comic travelogue, part plea to “reacquaint ourselves with the fundamentals,” she said, of what it means to live on the planet. And a fair summation of a 30-year career of music of astonishing beauty.

Loreena McKennitt performs Tuesday, March 15, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St.). For tickets, call 963-0761 or see lobero.com. independent.com

ROCKIN’ THE 805: The String Cheese Incident started off playing a combination of acoustic music and rock but expanded to other genres and formats during the past 20 years.

Rock of ages

n 1993, Colorado ski town Crested Butte was blessed with the inception of The String Cheese Incident, a rock band meddling in funk, electronica, bluegrass, and you name it. While each musician plays multiple instruments — from electric mandolin to lap steel guitar to accordion — their musical roots remain constant, as well as their annual Colorado New Year’s Eve bash at 1stBank Center with a full 3D production.

Keith Moseley shared with me via phone the band’s history, experiences, what the people of Santa Barbara can expect, and maybe the mystery behind the band’s name.

lot of ground musically, and that keeps it interesting.

Any favorite instruments? Hmm ‌ I’ll usually play the bass the entire show. But Billy [Nershi] will switch between electric and acoustic guitar; Michael [Kang] will switch between the electronic mandolin, violin, and the electric violin; Kyle [Hollingsworth] has a whole range of keyboards, including a synthesizer.

There are a lot of changes in instruments, too many to choose from.

IN HIS NATURE: José González will expand his sound at UCSB tonight when

he is joined by yMusic. The classical music sextet will add extra flourish to his folk songs.

Which Way, José?

by Richie DeMaria

FOREVER CHANGES: José González is looking ahead by looking behind.

His most recent album, Vestiges & Claws, speaks to the roots and shoots of the ever-growing tree of humankind as it so uncertainly grows to new precipices. “Some of the songs have to do with humanity and where we are, where we come from, where we’re headed,” he explained during our phone interview. “‘Vestiges’ serves as a metaphor of something that has been and is still around in some sense; ‘claws’ is metaphor for the ability to move forward, to choose our way forward.”

For a UCSB Arts & Lectures performance, González will be playing at Campbell Hall tonight (Thu., Mar. 10) with yMusic, a critically acclaimed, N.Y.C.-based sextet of young classical virtuosos, and expect some vestigial material on the bill. After seven years of no full-lengths, the Gothenburg, Sweden, native’s newest finds the famed bard addressing changes of tremendous size with subtle acoustic arrangements. “I’m excited to be in this time in history, and I think there are so many things that are changing that it’s worth contemplating our place in the ecosystems, and in an ideological sense on how we are forming our societies,” he said. The “Heartbeats” singer is very much interested in the pulse of the zeitgeist, the spirit of the times. “Just the fact that we’re going from seven to maybe 11 billion people in a short time — that’s gonna be a big change.”

He could not have chosen a more apt partner to flesh out his songs than yMusic, who have built a name around their classical reinterpretations of modern indie folk and indie pop hits. They, too, like to address themes of concurrent and crosscutting energies and epochs in their music. When they open the night with an introductory set, expect swooning classical rearrangements of songs by contemporary artists like Sufjan Stevens and Son Lux. Teaming up with the sextet will allow González to expand his usually sparse sound and explore new territories. González tends to keep things restricted, he said, because it is in the restraints that he finds the drama in small variations.“I know many producers try to keep the tension through production, but I focus most on the variation a very narrow range of my guitar playing and vocal,” he explained. “I very seldom try to agitate — for me it’s important to keep things within a certain style and not change style too much.” He admits his studio renditions can sound “almost too limited,” but sparse is “what I do best at the moment.”

Offstage, González is a man who finds comfort in the little things, in “small rituals” like thrice-weekly walks through the forest and in listening to the boil of water for his morning coffee. He’s also recently tried taking up some meditation apps, which he uses with varying frequency as a means to calm the mind. He finds a similarity between music playing and meditation, in the similar sensation of calming physical and mental detachment that comes through repeated movement.

Campbell Hall will be a most welcome venue for the ensemble of musicians, as it’s González’s belief that the changes and challenges ahead can be best addressed empirically. “It’s a fantastic time — the idea of following the evidence or the data where it leads us; that’s something that I think we as a society could focus more on,” he said. “If there is one hope, it would be that we could focus more on evidence and data, and less on n tribalism and ignorance.”

26 - 28, 2016 Volunteers Receive THE ECSTACY OF GOLD: Composer Ennio Morricone, 87, took home his first Oscar for Best Original Score this year.

AcAdeMy AWArds MusicAl Notes Ennio Morricone Finally Wins for Best Original Score

W

hen the Oscar roll was called out last month, one presumably satisfying moment came when Leonardo DiCaprio “broke his spell” and joined the winner’s circle as Best Actor for The Revenant.

Really, though, the award for longest-overdue statue anointment was in the film composer department.

Ennio Morricone, one of the masters — and mavericks — of the film composition world over the past half-century, going back to his delectably weird and wonderful Sergio Leone “spaghetti western” scores of the late 1960s, won his first actual Oscar (apart from a token Lifetime Achievement award in 2007) for work on Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight.

Love the film, hate it, or shrug with indifference, but Morricone’s music is one of its high points. It is a romantic yet mischievous and still experimental feat by a creatively fiery veteran — now 87 years old — and a loving director/composer pact reminiscent of Bernard Herrmann’s riveting final score for Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver.

For a cinematic element of such deep importance, music has always had a strained relationship with the film medium, and its composers have had to learn compromising dance steps to work in the industry.

Consider the strange fact that one of the greatest film composers, the late, great Alex North (A Streetcar Named Desire, Spartacus) earns the dubious distinction of having the most Oscar nominations (14) with nary a win. He also infamously had his scores “replaced”— for example, director Stanley Kubrick discarded North’s

potent original music for 2001: A Space Odyssey in favor of classical snippets of Richard Strauss, György Ligeti, Aram Khachaturian, and others. (For a good listen, buy or Spotify the original North 2001 music, which is worth hearing on its own merits. Also, check out Gergely Hubai’s fascinating book, Torn Music: Rejected Film Scores, a Selected History).

Cinema without music would be a sorry excuse for a night out, or a “liveliest art.” From a kitschier angle, a well-placed and/or winkingly irony-spiced pop song can give a scene joybuzzer moxie, as proved in two recent examples. In the anti-superhero romp Deadpool — awash in badass whimsy — my favorite moment came when that classic Chicago arena/grocery store ballad “You’re the Inspiration” looms up in the soundtrack and deconstructs into woozy time-tripping in sync with the character’s drug-addled senses. More pop-song high jinks hit screens when the dizzily uneven Whiskey Tango Foxtrot cannily coats the wouldbe edgy hostage-rescue scene with the cushy retro-pop swoop of Harry Nilson’s “Without You.” Hilarity ensues.

And, of course, sometimes the best music is virtually no music at all, as in this year’s stunningly powerful, controlled, and senses-seizing Best Foreign Film winner, Son of Saul. Apart from a fragment of music sung in the concentration camp, and a rueful shtetl melody on a lone violin over the end credits, the film makes its own kind of tragic, lamenting music, sans music. Silence can be a profound musical option, too. — Josef Woodard

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

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

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

Lewis’s best-selling book about four people who predicted the implosion of the credit and housing bubble and bet against the big banks, thus profiting from the financial crisis.

Riviera

O Deadpool

(108 mins.; R)

Marvel’s experiment in adult-portion superhero moviemaking is an almost pure success. Brash, sexual, vulgar, and extremely violent, the film, which 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. (DJP) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo Eddie the Eagle (106 mins.; PG-13) Eddie the Eagle follows a British skier of dubious talent who essentially makes it to the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary on a technicality — and barely qualifies to do even that. It is a pleasant, uplifting, paint-by-numbers underdog story. And while every piece is in place — the climactic final competition, the trainer with irreverent methods, the doggedly determined hero — there is nothing about the film that jumps out as being particularly unique. (NC)

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Gods of Egypt (127 mins.; PG-13) The god of darkness, Set (Gerard Butler), takes over the Egyptian throne and turns the empire into chaos. To the rescue is a young thief who, with the help of the god Horus, seeks to topple Set. Fiesta 5

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.

Fiesta 5 (2D) The Lady in the Van (104 mins.; PG-13) Hallucinations crisscross this story (starring Maggie Smith) — alter egos, divine presences, and the like, lifting what is being sold as another geriatric tragicomedy into an art film based on a play based on a real pain-in-the-ass event, and all of it turned into quirky meditations. (DJP) Plaza de Oro London Has Fallen (99 mins.; R) Leaders of the Western world come to London to attend the funeral of the British prime minister, who died a mysterious death. Once there, a plot to kill them all is revealed, and only the top MI-6 agent (Charlotte Riley) and the head of the Secret Service (Gerard Butler) can stop it.

Camino Real/Metro 4

Mustang (97 mins.; PG-13) In a village in northern Turkey, five sisters walking home from school play innocently with some boys. But the perceived immorality of their actions leads to scandal, and their home becomes a virtual prison.

Plaza de Oro The Revenant (156 mins.; R) The Revenant opens thrillingly with a quasi-military fur-trapping march suddenly invaded by Indians we barely see.

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu, who made 2014’s astonishing Birdman, remains infatuated with long shots, and we experience the attack as if one of the trappers. You could argue that The Revenant underscores the horrors of the American genocide. Yet it is more like an indictment of our romance with the making of the West, but that’s been done better so many times, from Little Big Man on, that this seems dull. (DJP)

Fiesta 5

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) Paseo Nuevo Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (111 mins.; R) Despite being an unmarried, smartmouthed, exasperated go-getter, Kim Baker (Tina Fey) is not Liz Lemon in the Middle East. Or, at least, the film doesn’t want her to be. A journalist who takes a job as a war correspondent in Afghanistan to unshackle herself from her cubicle and lame boyfriend, Baker’s initial desire to find herself culminates in her losing herself to the strange highs of war reporting. While this is an interesting turn, and fellow journalists Iain MacKelpie (Martin Freeman) and Tanya Vanderpoel (Margot Robbie) are charming foils for Fey, the film feels too long and struggles to find a consistent tone as it injects humor into the horrors of war. (NC) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

O Zootopia

(108 mins.; PG)

A wildly vibrant, joyfully clever romp with a serious heart, this wonderful movie is as marvelous and mature as computer-animated menageries get.

The youngest mammals among us will delight in the adorable characters, but elder beasts will see it for its potently politic and inclusive 2016 themes. Disney here is planting seeds in young minds in the hopes of a better tomorrow. This is more than a kids’ movie — this is a statement. (RD).

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of maRch 10 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “He in his madness prays for storms, and dreams that storms will bring him peace,” wrote Leo Tolstoy in his novella The Death of Ivan Ilych. The weird thing, Aries, is that this seemingly crazy strategy might actually work for you in the coming days. The storms you pray for, the tempests you activate through the power of your longing, could work marvels. They might clear away the emotional congestion, zap the angst, and usher you into a period of dynamic peace.

So I say: Dare to be gusty and blustery and turbulent.

Koyczan. “I stand on mountain tops believing that avalanches will teach me to let go.” I recommend his strategy to you in the coming weeks, Cancerian.

Put yourself in the presence of natural forces that will inspire you to do what you need to do. Seek the companionship of people and animals whose wisdom and style you want to absorb. Be sufficiently humble to learn from the whole wide world through the art of imitation.

TAURUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): The marathon is a long-distance footrace with an official length of over 26 miles. Adults who are physically fit and well-trained can finish the course in five hours. But I want to call your attention to a much longer running event: the Self-Transcendence 3,100-Mile Race. It begins every June in Queens, a borough of New York, and lasts until August. Those who participate do 3,100 miles’ worth of laps around a single city block, or about 100 laps per day. I think that this is an apt metaphor for the work you now have ahead of you. You must cover a lot of ground as you accomplish a big project, but without traveling far and wide. Your task is to be dogged and persistent as you do a little at a time, never risking exhaustion, always pacing yourself.

(Apr. 20-May 20): Quoting poet W.H. Auden, author Maura Kelly says there are two kinds of poets: argument-makers and beauty-makers. I think that’s an interesting way to categorize all humans, not just poets. Which are you? Even if you usually tend to be more of an argument-maker, I urge you to be an intense beauty-maker in the next few weeks. And if you’re already a pretty good beauty-maker, I challenge you to become, at least temporarily, a great beautymaker. One more thing: As much as possible, until April 1, choose beauty-makers as your companions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To have any hope of becoming an expert in your chosen field, you’ve got to labor for at least 10,000 hours to develop the necessary skills — the equivalent of 30 hours a week for six and a half years. But according to author William Deresiewicz, many young graphic designers no longer abide by that rule. They regard it as more essential to cultivate a network of connections than to perfect their artistic mastery. Getting 10,000 contacts is their priority, not working 10,000 hours. But I advise you not to use that approach in the coming months, Gemini. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be better served by improving what you do rather than by increasing how many people you know.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I sit before flowers, hoping they will train me in the art of opening up,” says poet Shane

LEO

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In old Vietnamese folklore, croaking frogs were a negative symbol. They were thought to resemble dull teachers who go on and on with their boring and pointless lectures. But in many other cultures, frogs have been symbols of regeneration and resurrection due to the dramatic transformations they make from egg to tadpole to fullgrown adult. In ancient India, choruses of croaks were a sign of winter’s end, when spring rains arrived to fertilize the earth and bestow a promise of the growth to come. I suspect that the frog will be one of your emblems in the coming weeks, Virgo — for all of the above reasons. Your task is to overcome the boring stories and messages so as to accomplish your lively transformations.

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Your anger is a gift.” So proclaims musician and activist Zack de la Rocha, singer in the band Rage Against the Machine. That statement is true for him on at least two levels. His fury about the systemic corruption that infects American politics has roused him to create many successful songs and enabled him to earn a very good living. I don’t think anger is always a gift for all of us, however. Too often, especially when it’s motivated by petty issues, it’s a self-indulgent waste of energy that can literally make us sick. Having said that, I do suspect that your anger in the coming week will be more like de la Rocha’s: productive, clarifying, healthy.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to a report in the journal Science, most of us devote half of our waking time to thinking about something besides the activity we’re actually engaged in. We seem to love to ruminate about what used to be and what might have been and what could possibly be. Would you consider reducing that amount in the next 15 days, Capricorn? If you can manage to cut it down even a little, I bet you will accomplish small feats of magic that stabilize and invigorate your future. Not only that: You will feel stronger and smarter. You’ll have more energy. You’ll have an excellent chance to form an enduring habit of staying more focused on the here and now.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Even now, all possible feelings do not yet exist,” says novelist Nicole Krauss. In the coming weeks, I suspect you will provide vivid evidence of her declaration, Scorpio. You may generate an unprecedented number of novel emotions — complex flutters and flows and gyrations that have never before been experienced by anyone in the history of civilization. I think it’s important that you acknowledge and celebrate them as being unique — that you refrain from comparing them to feelings you’ve had in the past or feelings that other people have had. To harvest their full blessing, treat them as marvelous mysteries.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One of the legal financial scams that shattered the world economy in 2008 was a product called a Collateralized Debt Obligation Squared. It was sold widely, even though noted economist Ha-Joon Chang says that potential buyers had to read a billion pages of documents if they hoped to understand it. In the coming weeks, I think it’s crucial that you Aquarians avoid getting involved with stuff like that — with anything or anyone requiring such vast amounts of homework. If it’s too complex to evaluate accurately, stay uncommitted, at least for now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Look at yourself then,” advised author Ray Bradbury. “Consider everything you have fed yourself over the years. Was it a banquet or a starvation diet?” He wasn’t talking about literal food. He was referring to the experiences you provide yourself with, to the people you bring into your life, to the sights and sounds and ideas you allow to pour into your precious imagination. Now would be an excellent time to take inventory of this essential question, Sagittarius. And if you find there is anything lacking in what you feed yourself, make changes!

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “I wish I knew what I desire,” wrote Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, born under the sign of Pisces.“I wish I knew! I wish I knew!” If he were still alive today, I would have very good news for him, as I do for all of you Pisceans reading this horoscope.

Not just what your ego yearns for. Not just what your body longs for. I’m talking about the whole shebang.

You now have the power to home in on and identify what your ego, your body, your heart, and your soul want more than anything else in this life.

Roque on a wonderful street. The front yard is beautifully landscaped with native trees and grasses, an inviting seating area, and a stone-lined walkway. As I approached the front door, there was the prominent, windowed cupola, smiling from above.

The interior of the house is open, bright, and airy, and at more than 2,000 square feet, it’s much larger than original houses in this neighborhood. It turns out that the home was extensively renovated — almost completely rebuilt — in 2002. All of the rooms were redone with quality craftsmanship and efficient, plentiful storage. The floors are a blend of warm pecan hardwood in some rooms and Saltillo tile in others. With four bedrooms, two baths, a large living room, a beautiful kitchen, a dining room, and an office, the house itself is large and livable. But step outside, and it really gets interesting.

There’s a big deck off the back of the house, plus a patio and a pool. Over the garage and up a stairway framed by blooming bougainvillea is my favorite part of this home: a full studio that feels like a tree house. Being up that high affords a view of the ocean out the back and a stunning mountain view from the front. The only better view would be from the cupola. No wonder it’s smiling down on this happy home.

here are certain architectural elements that we don’t see very often in Santa Barbara. When my son James was about 8 years old, we took a weekend trip to San Francisco, just the two of us, and splurged on a room at a fancy hotel on Union Square. As we walked up to the entrance, James exclaimed,“Whoa! It has one of those rotating doorways. I thought those were only in the movies.”

Visitors may come to Santa Barbara and marvel at our red-tile roofs, but to those of us who live here, revolving doors, basements, and even elevators are exotic details that we can go years without encountering. When I was introduced to the lovely home at 3013 Paseo Tranquillo last week, I was intrigued with some of its unusual amenities. The description stated that it has a whole-house waterfiltration system, which filters every faucet’s water. The home also has radiant floor heating throughout, so your toes stay warm as you walk from the bedroom to the kitchen for your midnight snack. The living room boasts a biofuel fireplace, one of the most efficient, smokeless, eco-friendly fireplace options available. These elements aroused my curiosity, but it was the tip-top detail that reeled me in: It has an honest-to-goodness cupola. A cupola? In Santa Barbara? I wanted to visit just to see that.

As it turns out, the entire house is well worth a visit. It’s in a quiet corner of San

significant shift in housing and lifestyle has been occurring in America over the past 35 years—namely, the growth in multigenerational housing.

A record 57 million Americans, or 18.1 percent of the population, lived in multigenerational family housing in 2012, double the number who lived in such households in 1980, according to the Pew Research Center. Another way to understand this is that more than one in six Americans now live in multigenerational households.

After three decades of steady but measured growth, the arrangement of having multiple generations under one roof spiked during the recent recession

by Dennis Allen (2007-2009) and has kept growing in the post-recession period, albeit at a slower pace.

Multigenerational housing is defined as three or four generations of the same family living under the same roof, or parents with the adult children 25 years of age or older living together. Historically, the nation’s oldest Americans have been the age group most likely to live in multigenerational households. In recent years, however, young adults (ages 25-34) have surpassed older adults in this regard.

Almost one in four (23.6 percent) are living with their parents, up from just over one in 10 (11 percent) in 1980.

As mentioned, the recent downturn drove different generations to come together under a single roof in great numbers, whether prompted by a lost job, a house foreclosed, a sinking pension, or expensive or unsatisfactory elder housing.

While the reasons these families came together are mostly behind them, they are now staying together by choice. The benefits can be great: financial, practical, or emotional. It can be an advantageous investment for all parties, with shared household expenses and free child care. It’s hard to find someone to leave your children with whom you would trust more than your parents.

Our construction company has built a number of these multigenerational dwellings through the years. The national conversation bears out what we have found to be our clients’ preferences: a self-contained, apartment-like living area with its own bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and separate entrance. This type of setup allows independence and privacy while still being in close proximity to the other members of the family. Another bonus is that this versatile arrangement has good resale value. Other possible uses might be as a home office, a rental unit, or guest quarters.

These homes are now scattered in every community across the country and will soon become the dominant housing form in many neighborhoods that once were bastions of the classic nuclear family home.

t was April 1960, and I’d only been in town a month, with a new job on the Santa Barbara NewsPress copy desk. With my wife, Angela, yearold Barclay, and baby Frances, I’d found an apartment at the foot of Linden Avenue in Carpinteria.

sewer system? ystem?

Action was not taken until 1886 when W.W. Hollister led a petition drive to install a modest sewer system. In September, the council awarded a contract to J.D. Dunn to lay a sewer along State Street from Sola Street to the ocean. The cost was just short of $15,000. The system of 12-inch underground pipe utilized gravity to drain away waste from upper State Street.

Work began in late October with the aim of completing construction before the rainy season. Most challenging was the placement of the undersea pipe.

This section weighed some 40 tons and was more than 1,000 feet long. The pipe was lowered into the water from Stearns Wharf and attached to the pilings.

The Pacific now served as the dumping ground for the city’s liquid refuse.

Santa Barbara’s first sewer system was completed in December 1886. One editorial cited “a new era in Santa Barbara’s prosperity. The one object that could honestly be urged against the city as a health resort will be removed.”

Almost immediately it became apparent this single line was going to be inadequate. In 1888, the council passed a resolution to extend the line to Mission Street, and there were constant requests for the construction of feeder lines.

Flushing tanks proved to be necessary to maintain flow; one citizen suggested the tanks be above ground in the shape of fountains.

By 1891, the ocean end of the system needed upgrading; otherwise, the town would end up spending money “for drugs, medical attendance, and funeral expenses.”A $19,000 bond passed almost four to one. Reportedly the new outfall would be able to handle a city of more than 60,000. Little did citizens realize it was just a beginning.

y the 1870s, there was growing concern over Santa Barbara’s lack of a proper waste-disposal system. The old habits of dumping wastewater into the unpaved gutters or using the water to irrigate gardens were becoming untenable. A systematic solution was needed.

Worries revolved around issues of public health and economics. Tourism was becoming an important industry in the 1870s as Santa Barbara developed a national reputation as a health resort.

One newspaper complained about an especially noxious drain near Ortega and State streets in 1875: “If the councilmen wish the city to forfeit its reputation as a sanitarium for invalids, they will pursue their present course and allow the drain to remain in such a condition that the miasma arising from it is a cause of disgust to those who use the street whereon it is situated and spreads sickness among the surrounding houses.”

Discussion about construction of a sewer system continued for the next few years. A proposal for a $20,000 bond measure provoked such an outcry that the idea was dropped, and officials contented themselves with enforcement of sanitation regulations and a periodic program of scraping the gutters clean of “black filth.”

The problem only got worse as the population grew. In 1881, Mayor Peter Barber pointed out how “waste liquids from stables, hotels, restaurants, boarding and private houses [could] be at once carried to the ocean … the whole central portion of the city will be drained” by a good pipeline system. The Weekly Press warned how poor sanitation could result “in lassitude, deranged stomachs, and torpid livers” and how serious illness could “create a harvest for undertakers.”
