Cover STORY

A year of 50 “Acts of Kindness” has Montessori Center School students rendering assistance at nonprofits near and far. Their work formed the topic of last week’s Kids’ Issue, and had the added benefit of the joy of collaboration. The Indy’s Emily Cosentino and Marianne Kuga (the tall ones in the back left and center) loved getting to know the students in Cydney Miller’s class of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. “The kids were really the stars of the issue,” said Cosentino.

“Their positive energy was contagious.”

Even the much-loved class mascot Echo the Gecko was integrated into the design, Kuga noted happily. She called both the process and the finished product “my favorite project since I’ve been at The Independent.”

Endorsements

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

June 2016 Primary

erhaps it’s coincidental that The Santa Barbara Independent’s election endorsements are coming out the week of the Plains All American Pipeline oil spill’s first anniversary. Some “coincidences,” however, are worth exploring. This is one.

The Gaviota pipeline spill tells us that even in Santa Barbara County — famous for its stringent environmental regulations — there’s no such thing as being too careful about oil production. It turned out that a single oil company was able to eviscerate safeguards by simply refusing to comply. Likewise, we learned the federal agency charged with pipeline safety has been chronically underfunded and dangerously understaffed.

Worse, it was too timid to demand the minimal tools needed to do its job despite repeated prodding by Congress. And despite the release of two massive reports last week, we still don’t know to what extent the damage could have been minimized had the cleanup operation been deployed sooner.

It’s also worth remembering how, in the past year, we were unhappily surprised to learn the federal government had been permitting numerous instances of fracking off our coast without notifying the public or public agencies. This information, by the way, would never have come to light had an environmental law firm not filed a Freedom of Information Act request.

In this context, we need to elect political leaders who get that oil is, in fact, a “fossil” fuel. We’re looking for candidates eager to move posthaste into a future that embraces new energy sources.

And to state the obvious — climate change is real. We recognize Santa Barbara can’t fix things by itself. But we need to do our part. We have no time for apologists who predict the free market system will devise the necessary technological quick fixes. We’d observe, perhaps unkindly, that no one can eat such pie in the sky when one’s head is buried in the sand.

24th Congressional District: Salud Carbajal

For the past 18 years, Santa Barbara has been tirelessly represented in Congress by Democrat Lois Capps, who is now stepping down. Given the unimaginably dangerous extremes to which the Republican Party is now hurtling, it would be self-destructive to send anyone with an “R” next to his or her name to replace Capps. Politics is a team undertaking, and most politicians, if they hope merely to survive, follow party orders. Given the kind of orders the Republican leadership has been issuing these days, we can ill afford to send them any more 8

good soldiers. Of the nine candidates running for Congress, only two merit consideration: Santa Barbara County Supervisor Salud Carbajal and Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider.

No surprise, both are Democrats.

Choosing between these two is not easy. Both Schneider and Carbajal have long, distinguished careers in politics. Both emerged out of Santa Barbara’s moderate/progressive/environmental tradition. Both agree on most issues. And both would make a worthy successor to Capps in Congress. Over the years, we have enthusiastically endorsed both for different offices.

Of the two, however, we believe Carbajal brings the skill set best attuned to the demands of the position. A master practitioner of one-on-one, meet-and-greet politics, Carbajal — we predict — will be tireless in bringing home the bacon and indefatigable when it comes to constituent services. As a county supervisor, Carbajal was a reliable vote for major environmental initiatives, health care for poor kids, and changes to the county’s mental-health system. When it came to county budget shortfalls, Carbajal insisted the pain be shared by all departments, even public safety. When it’s come to helping constituents, few supervisors have ever worked harder. To the extent there’s a knock on Carbajal, it’s been that he’s too cautious, waiting until the last minute before taking stands on hot-button issues.

By contrast, Schneider is utterly dazzling as a policy wonk, and would — we suspect — prove to be quite inventive legislatively. As mayor, she presided over the most evenly split councils in recent history. Despite the polarized viewpoints, council meetings themselves ran smoothly and productively.

On the issues, Schneider has supported gay marriage and gay rights well before it became politically fashionable. On occasion, however, Schneider has pushed initiatives before lining up the necessary support, forcing her to beat a retreat because she hadn’t done the necessary spadework first.

In recent years, the mutual estrangement between Schneider and much of the Democratic Party establishment became fodder for endless psychobabble speculation. Some of it stemmed from Schneider’s insistence that the freeway-widening project — as proposed — wasn’t good enough. She was hardly alone: The entire planning commission, the city manager, the city planning director, and the city transportation planner all agreed, and they happened to be right. Being right, however, got Schneider nowhere, and she lost a key vote by a whopping 11-to-2. She’d lost too many friends along the way.

As one bedraggled elected official recently explained, the art of politics is not losing friends. Lose enough, he said, and you become useless. To a remarkable degree, Carbajal — relentlessly and irresistibly ingratiating — has gone out of his way to make friends; he’s gone even further to keep them. That might explain why he never faced a single serious challenger in three elections. Today, Carbajal has raised more money than Schneider, and nailed down far more big-name endorsements, including the much admired Lois Capps.

Our point? Under new election rules, the top two vote getters in the June primary face off in November regardless of party affiliation. Theoretically, that means two Republicans could be running against each other. To make sure that doesn’t happen, we’re backing the Democrat who can be counted on to support an environmental and socially progressive agenda, with the demonstrated political skills to win in November and represent us well in Congress. We urge you to vote for Salud Carbajal.

County Supervisors: Joan Hartmann and

Das Williams

The stakes could not be higher in this June 7 primary supervisorial election. Three of the five county supervisor seats are now up for grabs. Two are wide open. The political direction of county government depends on the outcome. Currently, the board is controlled by a 3-to-2 majority of environmentally minded moderates generally imbued with progressive social values. We think it’s imperative this majority be retained.

Should this change, board chair Peter Adam — the most outspokenly and ideologically conservative supervisor in office — will control a majority that he helped bankroll. Adam passionately believes county government has exceeded its legitimate scope and function; he votes and funds accordingly. We could not disagree more profoundly.

1st District: Das Williams

Das Williams’s loud and proud brand of green politics is a good fit for the 1st Supervisorial District — encompassing Carpinteria, Summerland, Montecito, Mission Canyon and Cuyama, and half the City of Santa Barbara. Few will work harder, and there’s no question Williams understands the chessboard of Santa Barbara politics and how the pieces move far better than most. Williams was first elected to the Santa Barbara City Council in 2003, as an outspoken progressive with strong ties to labor unions. Termed out after nearly eight years, he ran and was elected to the State Assembly. Now termed out again, he is hoping to come back home as 1st District supervisor.

We know Williams can be effective on the board because he was effective in Sacramento. There, he fought for laws to combat the effects of climate change, got Governor Jerry Brown to sign a bill giving Isla Vista a shot at some form of self-governance — however limited — and has banged the gong loudly to reform the screwy system by which many 9-1-1 phone calls are routed, a system that often results in potentially lethal delays.

Williams has a strong interest in changing county rules to allow solar plantations to sprout up in the Cuyama Valley. He’s aware of Santa Barbara’s crying need for juvenile psychiatric bed space, and he demonstrates more than a passing knowledge

of the county’s mental-health system and how all the parts fit — or don’t.

Williams’s biggest obstacle in becoming an effective supervisor might well be his own political ambition, either real or perceived. It didn’t help that Williams registered a political campaign committee to run for State Senate in 2020 just as he was filing papers to run for county supervisor. His sole opponent, Jennifer Christensen, has seized on this to paint Williams as an opportunistic short-termer already looking for greener pastures.

Williams has a plausible, if complicated, explanation. That being said, we wish Williams would take advantage of a court-ordered additional environmental review to make a stronger stand on the increased congestion freeway widening will inflict on 12 Santa Barbara intersections — located in the 1st District. Christensen has taken this to heart; Williams should, too. But if Williams can show strategic restraint and work well with his board colleagues, we are convinced he will make an excellent supervisor.

Christensen, a lawyer and CPA working for the county’s tax collector’s office, is a serious candidate, but her insider’s knowledge of the county is no match for Williams’s overall know-how.

His wide experience and advocacy for vital issues facing Santa Barbara, along with his extensive understanding of all layers of government, particularly state government, will be of great benefit for the whole county.

constituencies from Isla Vista, western Goleta, and the Santa Ynez Valley, itself a circular firing squad of internecine neighborhood conflict. When it comes to balancing the desire for special events and wine tasting rooms against neighborhood peace and preservation, we’re confident Hartmann will be an honest broker. Of all the districts, the 3rd needs someone immediately conversant in the boring but crucial minutia of government administration.

Hartmann is. And when she promises to respond to all constituent calls within 24 hours, we actually believe her.

Her chief rival, Bruce Porter, has an impressive résumé, as well, having attended West Point and served with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before moving to Solvang and jumping feetfirst into local school politics. We aren’t as clear, however, where Porter stands on many issues and are given some pause by the $20,000 in donations he received from the family of supervisor Pete Adam.

None of the other three candidates have a serious chance, but Bob Field continues to raise legitimate questions about the number of special events and tasting rooms the Santa Ynez Valley can accommodate. Karen Jones has enlivened debates with an intimate familiarity with the valley and an earthy energy. Jay Freeman has provided a much-needed and very energetic voice to Isla Vistans — more often spoken about in recent years than spoken to — but we urge Freeman to give thought to dropping out and backing Hartmann now. Many of the votes he gets will come at her expense. If Porter can muster 50 percent of the vote plus one, he will win outright in June, and there will be no November runoff.

district, objecting not enough resources existed to adequately accommodate the new students. While on the school board, Limón exhibited keen interest in new legislation in Sacramento that affected education. When she goes to Sacramento, Limón will be able craft such bills herself.

State Senate:

Hannah-Beth Jackson

F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote there are no second acts in American lives, but clearly he hadn’t met State Senator HannahBeth Jackson, the Democratic firebrand now enjoying a most productive political reincarnation. Jackson served in the Assembly before, got termed out, and is now back and kicking serious ass, most famously passing a wage-equity law ballyhooed around the nation as an antidote to gender-based wage discrimination.

Dust doesn’t have time to settle when Jackson’s in the Senate.

Keep her there.

Should state legislators suspended from office after being convicted of crimes still be allowed to draw their salary of $95,000 a year? Obviously not, but it happened three times in 2014.

Proposition 50 sets out to fix that. For implementation to occur, two-thirds of the legislative body must vote to suspend the pay of an errant member. That may not be perfect, but if it makes lawmakers think twice about crossing the line, it’s good enough.

3rd District:

Joan Hartmann

This one is easy. Of the five candidates vying for this open seat, Buellton resident Joan Hartmann is by far the most qualified.

Hartmann has served with distinction the last three years on the county’s Planning Commission, sinking her teeth into land-use conundrums that promise to bedevil supervisors for decades to come. Hartmann comes to the post after a significant stint with the Environmental Protection Agency, where she focused on wetland protection. In addition, she was one of the citizen activists who enacted strict sprawl controls for the City of Buellton.

And she was engaged in the complex water politics of the Santa Ynez Valley. With this background, some enviro-activists had hoped Hartmann would have been more of a flag-waver on the Planning Commission. Instead, she has shown up impeccably prepared, asked questions that went directly to the heart of the matter, and then argued her case forcefully and respectfully.

Stylistics aside, we’re confident Hartmann’s will be a strong but quiet voice against new oil development and for preservation of the Gaviota Coast. Even those who’ve disagreed with her on the issues admit she’s been fair.

This character will prove essential for anyone hoping to represent the 3rd District, which includes diverse and conflicting

State Assembly:

S. Monique Limón

Monique Limón has been blessed with natural political skills, a work ethic that won’t quit, and an extended family big enough to qualify as her very own get-out-the-vote machine. Limón’s passion has always been education. She studied educational access and achievement issues confronting underserved communities in graduate school and then put that into practice as an educational policy administrator at UCSB. In the last four years, Limón served on the Santa Barbara Unified School District Board. During her tenure, the district moved away from the no-tolerance policy that saw high numbers of suspensions and expulsions — particularly among Latino students. Instead, the district embraced the restorative-justice alternative, the theory being that kids don’t learn and didn’t learn from their mistakes when kicked out of the classroom. How successful that change has been has yet to be seen, but a report is due out soon. She also opposed new district policies to transition 100 additional specialeducation students from S.B. County Education to the school

BOOK ’EM, DANNO: District Attorney Joyce Dudley (left) and Attorney General Kamala Harris filed 46 criminal charges against Plains All American Pipeline, the company responsible for last year’s Refugio Oil Spill. The company denies criminal wrongdoing, insisting the spill was an accident.

Throwing Book at Plains 46 Criminal Charges Filed Against Pipeline Company for Refugio Oil Spill

N

by N i c k W e l s h

othing says “Happy Anniversary” quite as startlingly as a 46-count criminal indictment, as Plains All American Pipeline Company found out the hard way this week. At a joint Tuesday morning press conference, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley and California Attorney General Kamala Harris announced that four felony and 42 misdemeanor criminal charges would be filed against Plains for last May’s pipeline rupture on the mountain side of the freeway by Refugio Beach. Because of that spill, an estimated 142,000 gallons of crude oil escaped; 21,000 gallons made its way onto the beach and into the ocean. Dudley and Harris declined to provide many details about the specific counts, explaining the indictment could not be made public until the arraignment, scheduled June 2.

According to a Plains press release, 10 of the counts relate to the actual release of crude oil and the alleged failure of Plains officials to report the spill in a timely fashion to the proper government agencies. The rest pertain to wildlife reportedly killed as a result of the spill. Of the 46 charges, 45 have been leveled against Plains All American, the corporation; one was filed against a Plains employee, James Buchanan, an environmental and regulatory compliance officer. Dudley declined to specify what Buchanan is accused of other than to indicate it’s a misdemeanor rather than a felony. If found guilty and given the maximum sentence, Dudley said, Buchanan could face

as many as three years in county jail, but she stressed the possibility was extremely unlikely given the acute shortage of jail beds, among other reasons.

This may well be the first time criminal charges have been brought by Santa Barbara prosecutors for any environmental transgression; Dudley said she didn’t know of any before. Plains All American has been fined $48 million in 28 separate complaints filed by the Environmental Protection Agency since 2010, but this may be the first time the pipeline company—one of the largest operators in the country— has faced criminal charges. country Dudley and Harris said they were barred from explaining what actions Plains took —or did not take—that rose to the level of criminal conduct. Likewise, the two said they could not discuss why some charges were filed as felonies as opposed to misdemeanors. The charges were filed by a Santa Barbara Grand Jury, which met 10 times and heard from more than 30 witnesses, Dudley said, not by her deputies. The evidence against Plains, she said, and the reasons behind the criminal charges would be manifest once transcripts of the Grand Jury proceedings were publicly released. Those transcripts are typically released 10 days after the arraignment, though Plains might petition the court to have the records sealed.

When one reporter asked — with some impatience—what purpose the press conference served if such information was not given, Harris replied, “to provide transparency.” One political operative observing the proceedings

noted that Harris is running for Senate against 29 other contenders and that the June primary was just three weeks off. Harris, with 27 percent in the polls, is well ahead of her closest rival, Orange County Congressmember Loretta Sanchez, who has just 14 percent. But with 42 percent of the voters still undecided, anything can happen.

Certainly, Tuesday’s press conference provided Harris — who was recently married in Santa Barbara — an environmentally heroic backdrop for campaign photo ops. “The carelessness of Plains All American harmed hundreds of species and marine life off Refugio Beach,” she stated. “This conduct is criminal, and today’s changes serve as a powerful reminder of the consequences that flow from jeopardizing the well-being of our ecosystems and public health.”

Political motivations aside, the Grand Jury finished its work on May 16, Dudley explained, and the deadline for Dudley and Harris to file misdemeanor charges is 5 p.m. on May 18. The deadline for filing felonies is two years. The two prosecutorial offices launched their joint criminal investigation of the oil spill three days after the badly corroded underground pipe burst and have been working together closely ever since. Should the case go to trial, the two agencies would try the case together as co-counsels.

Plains All American, however, had no intention of supinely serving as the “bad guy” prop for any political photo op, and the company actually broke the story first with an cont’d page 12 

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Sheriff’s deputies arrested Adam Estenson, 28, and Jana Santo, 36, of Ashland, Oregon, on May 10 after finding a DMT lab at a Goleta apartment. The two had been staying at the apartment on the 5500 block of Armitos while the resident was in the hospital, and they were arrested in Cottage Hospital’s parking lot after the property owner called police. Law enforcement checked the apartment and found the tools and ingredients used to make dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a powerful psychedelic that can cause intense visual hallucinations and a sense of paranoia and overwhelming fear.

Estenson and Santo were booked into County Jail on charges of manufacturing and producing a controlled substance, and held on $75,000 bail each.

Last Wednesday morning, the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office sent out an alert letting West Goleta residents know that a black bear had been sighted in the area. By the time that report went out, Goleta City Councilmember Paula Perotte was already well aware of the creature — her dog, Apollo, was standing at an open window, barking at the bear, a sight that made her do a double take.

“The bear was kind of terrifying and cute all at the same time,” she said. Responding Fish and Wildlife rangers waited to see if the bear would begin moving back toward open space and away from neighborhoods. When it didn’t, they tranquilized and removed the young adult male, which was 250-300 pounds in size.

Six Santa Barbara police officers and Sheriff’s deputies (above) received this year’s H. Thomas Guerry Award for Valor for their cool-headed handling of two separate incidents involving violently self-destructive suspects. On July 13, Sergeant Mike McGrew and Officer Bryce Ford with the SBPD helped successfully detain a male suspect who, following a domestic disturbance, cut his own throat and then fled from police in an RV, causing nine traffic collisions across the city. Ford was dragged by the RV, and McGrew broke his foot in the chaos, but they made the arrest without any further harm to people or property. On November 8, Deputy Brian Flick, Deputy Todd Lefemine, Senior Deputy Neil Gowing, Sergeant Brian Dickey with the Sheriff’s Office responded to Tom’s Gas Station in Buellton, where a suicidal man had doused himself and a truck with gasoline and was pacing about with a lighter and fuel canister in hand.

In a surprise move, based on a 1980s ballot measure, the Goleta Water District and City of Goleta are blocking plans for housing on one of the last remaining pieces of historic farmland in the city — at least until the drought is over. The Shelby project is a proposal for 60 homes on the north side of Cathedral Oaks Road, just west of the Glen Annie Golf Club and a long stretch of avocado and lemon orchards.

Because it would require a rezone from agricultural to residential use, the project is a “line in the sand” for conservationists trying to save farmland from urbanization in the fast-growing valley. They view Cathedral Oaks as the boundary of a green buffer against sprawl. Glynne Couvillion of the Shelby Family Trust, in turn, points to the golf course and housing tracts near his 14-acre property as proof that no such buffer exists. The family gave up on growing avocados 20 years ago.

The final environmental report for the project was expected to be released by the city this month, but now everything is up in the air. On April 26, the Goleta Water District informed the city that under Measure J, a ballot initiative approved by district customers in 1988, the agricultural water credit on the Shelby property cannot be exchanged for residential water service. The city has suspended its review of the Shelby project, said Jennifer Carman, director of Planning and Environmental Review, “until the applicant presents an approach to address the water concern.”

That leaves Couvillion, an 82-year-old Montecitan, with two options: Return to farming, or spend more than $875,000 to buy new water. He would have to wait for a new supply because the district has declared a ban on new hookups in the drought. Would greenhouses or nurseries succeed where avocados failed? Couvillion wonders. Should he try to buy new water for housing when the drought is over? “I don’t know if I have any choice,” he said. “This is so out of the blue. I am extremely disappointed. We want to build modest-sized homes for local families.”

Steve Ferry, a member of the Santa Barbara Audubon Society and a spokesperson for the newly formed Shelby Foothills Coalition, hailed the suspension of the project as good news. But the coalition of six environmentalist groups will not let down its guard, he said. “The developer should withdraw this application,” Ferry said. “A — Melinda Burns project must have a water source before it can proceed.”

as the other three slowly corralled him away from the gas pumps and into a parking lot, where he was taken into custody without further incident.

CIty The mostly vacant 28,000-square-foot National Guard Armory and its nearly fiveacre lot are moving closer to becoming part of the Santa Barbara Unified School District.

Assemblymember Das Williams’s AB 2247 has reached the full Assembly after passing the Senate by a 79-0 vote. The bill would give the district first dibs on purchasing the property, located at 700 East Canon Perdido, before July 1, 2017, at fair market value. To help pay for it — estimates call for a $10 million acquisition and another $10 million for renovations — the district plans to put a bond measure on the November ballot.

The first hydrogen-fuel station in California outside Los Angeles and San Francisco opened on La Cumbre Road this week, making travel up and down the coast for fuel-cell vehicle owners much more practical, said FirstElement Fuel cofounder Tim Brown, whose Irvine-based company is installing a network of True Zero stations around the state. They’ve completed 15 stations in 18 months, with plans

for at least four more. Fuel-cell vehicles run on hydrogen gas instead of gasoline, Brown explained. Oxygen enters the system and reacts with the hydrogen, creating electricity to power the car. The Santa Barbara station will bridge the divide between Northern and Southern California for travelers in hydrogen vehicles that typically have a maximum range of 300 miles.

COuNty Santa Barbara wasn’t included in a new national survey of the shrinking middle class by the Pew Research Center, but Santa Maria was, and from 2000-2014, its middle class shrank by nearly 5 percent while the percentage of lower-income individuals grew by nearly 4 percent. Those defined as upper income grew by one percent. In San Luis Obispo, the middle-income bracket held pretty steady, dropping by less than a percent, while the low-income percentage fell by 2 percent and the upper income increased by the same.

Thirty-four homeless people died in 2014 — the last year for which statistics are available in Santa Barbara County. Of those, 75 percent were Caucasian, 16 percent were veterans, and 81 percent were male. More than half died from “natural causes,” 9 percent from suicide,

Supervisor Defends 4 4th District Seat Against New Challenger

I

by k e l s e y B r u g g e r n the race for 4th District supervisor, Eddie Ozeta, a Republican and labor union board president, is challenging incumbent Peter Adam, the blunt, Tea Party anti-politician in his first term on the Board of Supervisors.

The 4th District— District encompassing Orcutt, Lompoc, and Santa Maria—is made up of 36,300 voters. Of those, 42 percent are Republicans, 30 percent are Democrats, and 22 percent are decline-to-state. As a general rule, Orcutt residents vote at a higher rate than Lompoc’s. Because just two people are in the race, it will be decided in the June 7 primary election.

Aside from the fact Ozeta and Adam are both Republicans, they could not be more dif different. Ozeta, 45, works in the county’s Social Services department and came to Santa Barbara in 2012. A Marine veteran, Ozeta said he applied that year for 99 different public sector jobs; he expressed gratitude he landed here.

Adam, 53, is a fifth-generation Santa Maria farmer who owns a giant commercial operation with his two younger brothers, Kerry and Dominic Adam. He entered office in 2012 after he surprisingly beat incumbent Joni Gray. He complains county employee salaries and benefits are too high, and he considers his private sector background essential to balance the budget “in a real way.”

Since entering office, Adam has grown more comfortable inside the structures of government. Last year, he attempted to push a proposal of much lower emissions standards as an alternative to the regulatory plan embraced by environmentalists by setting a special meeting of the Air Pollution Control District. The effort failed, but it demonstrated

Adam’s willingness to use the procedural privileges available to him.

Adam is also famous for proposing Measure M, the controversial 2014 maintenance bill that would have set aside tens of millions of dollars to the repair and upkeep of county roads, parks, and buildings. After it failed by a narrow margin, Adam declined to back a plan to squirrel away 18 percent of revenue growth each year for a decade and has voted against the entire budget each year since.

Asked if he’s evolved as a politician, Adam said he discovered issues, such as mental health, that he didn’t know he was interested in when he got there but that he “has a really firm internal compass.”

Ozeta said he entered the race because of Adam’s “arrogance” and “sense of entitlement.” He has launched a series of political attacks on Adam—calling him a hypocrite for being the sole vote opposing the 12 percent pay raise for the county supervisors but then taking the money.“They are fine cashing their checks,” he said. “That’s the inconsistency.”

Likewise, Ozeta argued Adam dropped $47,000 of county funds on his Santa Maria office remodel and then forced the veterans and elections departments to relocate. Adam said his old office space was too small and functionally unviable for private discussions. Their net office square footage actually decreased, he added. “Clearly this guy knows nothing about luxury if he calls that a luxury remodel,” he said.

Adam, Ozeta acknowledged, is popular in North County—“He’s a farmer, a good old boy; he has his network”—but noted Adam started his term the same day he started working in the Social Services department.

For his part, Adam is running again “because my work here is not done.” When he got elected, Adam said, “If I can’t piss everybody off before I leave this place, then I haven’t done my job.” The few he has pissed off, he said, are “coming out of the woodwork” to fund Ozeta’s campaign. Last week, the firefighters union and the county employees union gave Ozeta $35,000; the Chumash gave him $30,000.

This week, Ozeta sent out a mailer attacking Adam, charging, “We can’t fix illegal immigration until we talk about those who are making it worse.” Earlier this year, Adam made headlines after hundreds of undocumented farmworkers were terminated from Adam Brothers Farming as the result of an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) investigation. The

mailer also suggests Adam is a hypocrite because of a comment at a Board of Supervisors hearing he made last fall: “… people shouldn’t be here without permission, that is, illegally.”

In an interview, Adam said he appreciated everyone who worked for him, noting some had for decades. He called the action

by ICE “ridiculous” because the terminated employees were not deported, just forced to move to another farm.“The federal government has let us all down by not controlling the border,” he said.

When asked, Adam said the solution is at the federal level.“This is just not an issue that I’m going to get involved in,” he said.

“I’m just being used. And I’m not playing.

campaign Mailers get down and dirty

Democratic political action committees this week bombarded mailboxes and TV airwaves with congressional ads that liken Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian to Donald Trump, exclaiming, “They don’t trust women. So we can’t trust them.”

Supporting Salud Carbajal, the two mailers and TV ads in English and Spanish say Planned Parenthood gave Achadjian consistent F grades for his votes on state bills related to sex ed, reproductive health, and access to women’s health care. Committee for Hispanic Causes and House Majority PACs paid $300,000 for the TV ads.

Asked about reproductive choice at a recent debate, Achadjian called it a “personal decision.” Personally, he said, he is pro-life. In an interview, Achadjian said he supports abortion in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother’s life is in danger. “My thing is do we have the voice of the voiceless unborn child?” Achadjian asked. “Who is standing up for their rights?” He added, “How come we are not holding men responsible?”

Achadjian explained his opposition to one Planned Parenthood– sponsored measure — AB 2348 — that would have allowed registered nurses to dispense birth control pills: “It’s not just based on what I believe,” he said. “It’s also based on the information we get from groups.” For KATCHO TRUMP? A flurry of recent mailers liken congress­ instance, he said, Califorional hopeful and Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian to nia Nurses Association Donald Trump for his poor grades from Planned Parenthood. opposed AB 2348. Achadjian added he voted to protect women against sex discrimination and to close a loophole in rape-byimpersonation laws — championed by District Attorney Joyce Dudley — to protect unmarried women.

Asked about the Republican effort to defund Planned Parenthood, Achadjian said he would want to review the undercover videos that allege illegal sales of fetal tissue before making a decision. “If the [accusations] were true, I would defund them,” he said. If not, he would support them, he said.

Republican Justin Fareed is personally pro-life, a campaign spokesperson said.

Asked in an email if he would side with the Republican effort to defund Planned Parenthood, the spokesperson said Fareed “does not believe that abortions through Planned Parenthood should be funded at the federal level.” The mailers and TV ads also functioned as a subtler jab at Democrat Helene Schneider, who worked for Planned Parenthood for a decade and is the only woman in the race.

As for the hit pieces, Achadjian laughed, saying they would not be attacking him — Kelsey Brugger if he weren’t the front-runner.

Pastor Jon­Stephen Hedges

Bail reduced for alleged Pastor attacker

B

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

ail for the 22-year-old UCSB student who was charged with attacking Isla Vista pastor JonStephen Hedges last week was reduced this Tuesday from $500,000 to $200,000 after the judge ruled he was not a flight risk or threat to public safety, among other things. He has since posted bail.

Paul Gusman, who spent nearly four years in the military before attending UCSB, showed up—naked from the waist down—in the middle of the night on May 7 to Hedges’s house, where he knocked on the door and yelled for help, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Thinking Gusman was in distress, Hedges let him in, at which point Gusman attacked the pastor, allegedly punching him as many as 30 times. The assault appeared random, Paul Gusman said authorities Last week, 17 of Gusman’s supporters — his parents, fraternity brothers, and armed forces personnel — packed the courthouse for a hearing.

Hedges gave a short speech, asking Judge Clifford Anderson not to reduce his bail amount. “He used his freedom to invade the home of a stranger,” said Hedges, “to assault that stranger with violent targeted skill, even though the one he was assaulting was one significantly older than he is.”

He continued, “Even though that elder did have such skills himself and recognized the nature of the assault, he chose in the moment not to use his deadly skills but rather to contain the incident the best he could at the door.”

In court, defense attorney Bill Makler was emphatically apologetic for his client. He said it appears as though Gusman had ingested “bad LSD” that night. Gusman earned good grades at UCSB and had no prior substance abuse history, he added. Though Gusman pleaded not guilty, he told the court, that was “no means a gesture he’s not willing to accept responsibility … but the process moves the way it does.”

Hedges is well-known in the Isla Vista community.

He is an assistant pastor at St. Athanasius Orthodox Church, which was located at the top of the Embarcadero loop until it moved to Goleta. A UCSB alum, Hedges has lived in Isla Vista since 1968. He works closely with homeless people and was instrumental in the opening of Pescadero Lofts, the apartment complex that houses dozens of previously homeless people.

Hedges also works for the county’s mental health department as a case manager and volunteers as a chaplain for the Sheriff’s Office. n sbso

lompoc Man exonerated of 1986 Murder

A Lompoc man who served 26 years in prison for the fatal shooting of a motel owner was fully exonerated this week in the same Santa Maria courtroom in which he was wrongfully convicted more than three decades ago. The prosecution of Joel Alcox, 52, had been riddled with incompetence from the start, said his attorney Juliana Drous, including a false confession by Alcox after seven hours of police interrogation while he was high on LSD, a former defense attorney stunningly ineffectual in his duties, and alleged misconduct by prosecutors at the time. The true killer, Drous has charged, remains at large in London. Alcox was paroled four years ago while his case was on appeal, and his charges were officially dismissed during a short hearing last Wednesday. Afterward, family and friends gathered in a huddle of hugs and tears. Alcox is now married and lives in San Bernardino, where he works as a tire delivery person.

unching hors d’oeuvres at a long-ago campaign fundraiser, a ranking member of the California press corps memorably disclosed to a greenhorn newsman the top two rules of political reporting: “The conventional wisdom is always wrong,” he said.“And never pass up a chance to eat or take a piss.”

Putting rule #2 aside for another day, his #1 recommendation, to distrust prevailing thinking about political races, pertains in assessing the contest for the 24th Congressional District seat, three weeks before the June 7 primary, when the top two finishers will advance to a November 8 runoff. While much breathless punditry has aimed at the campaign (we name no names), there has been a paucity of, um, Actual Facts in the form of independent polling.

Based on recent public statements and debate performances, along with examination of campaign fundraising and TV and online ads of the nine candidates seeking to replace retiring Rep. Lois Capps, however, here is a look at some key factors and scenarios: WHAT HAS BERNIE WROUGHT? There

are about 350,000 registered voters in the district, which includes San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and a tiny sliver of Ventura counties. Although Democrat Capps has been elected to nine terms, her party holds only a narrow 38-34 percent registration edge over the Republicans, while declineto-state independents represent 23 percent of the electorate and minor parties the balance.

Historically, Republicans turn out more reliably in primaries, perhaps enough to offset the Democrats’ slight registration advantage; combined with the large number of nonpartisans, this helps explains why the leading candidates emphasize clichéd claims to be “bipartisan” “problem solvers” capable of “reaching across the aisle.”

In a volatile campaign year shaped by the singular presidential candidacy of Donald Trump, however, it is unclear how much such traditional trends will matter.

Trump has helped boost GOP turnout in other states, but the Republican race is now settled; liberal Bernie Sanders meanwhile keeps campaigning vigorously against likely nominee Hillary Clinton, which could flip conventional wisdom and boost Democratic turnout.

THE UN-UNCONVENTIONAL WISDOM:

Many political junkies believe that Republican Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian and Santa Barbara County Supervisor Salud Carbajal, both of whom hew to the political middle, will be the two leading fin-

ishers. Achadjian has been elected for nearly 20 years to various offices in S.L.O., where Republicans hold a five-point registration advantage over the Democrats and where he enjoys high name recognition. Carbajal’s strength owes to his prodigious fundraising, which enables him to broadcast an ongoing barrage of ads touting his background and experience. However …

KEEP AN EYE ON JUSTIN: While the

front-runners run as pragmatic centrists, 27-year-old Justin Fareed makes a generational appeal, wrapping Republican orthodoxy on taxes and regulation into the argument that he is best positioned to take a long-range view of political problems. Scion of a wealthy family, he has raised almost as much as Carbajal, and GOP ad guru Fred Davis has produced for him the campaign’s most eye-catching spots. But Fareed showed his age when he snapped at the moderator in the KCRW-Independent debate, where he also was booed for ducking the question about whether he supports Trump.

WHAT DO WOMEN WANT? In debate

stage lineups of all nine candidates, there is exactly one, count ’em, one, woman among all the fellas in red ties. S.B. Mayor Helene Schneider has said that as the only woman in the race, in the year of Hillary, she most effectively can argue for equal pay, abortion rights, and other women’s health issues.

But Carbajal’s superior campaign organization has denied her endorsements of key local Democratic women’s groups; whether ordinary voters care about that as much as insiders will determine whether Schneider pulls off an upset finish. tHe ostrANDer FACtor: Democrat

Bill Ostrander, a S.L.O. rancher and former actor, has made the sharpest impression in recent debates, arguing forcefully for campaign finance reform. Unlikely to prevail in the primary, his association with the Bernie Sanders crusade nonetheless suggests he may pull progressive votes from Carbajal or Schneider, both running as centrists.

Similarly, right-wing Republican Matt Kokkonen, who aligns himself with Trump on immigration, might attract enough conservatives on the margins.

ALSO IN THE MIX: Little-known Demo-

crat Ben Lucas proposes building a pipeline from Lake Superior to the West to ease the drought. Hoping to win notice from the one-quarter of nonpartisan voters are decline-to-staters John Uebersax, who fiercely opposes U.S. military adventurism, and Steve Isakson, an engineer who says that like Albert Einstein, he thinks of conventional issues in an unconventional way. n Don’t forget to vote.

Charles Finley Hamilton 12/28/30-05/12/16

Charlie was lovingly referred to at times as “The Energizer Bunny” because of his ability to bounce back from numerous serious health problems. But, sadly, his “batteries” finally gave out on May 12, 2016, when he passed away due to complications from a stroke.

Born on December 28, 1930, in Bay City, Michigan, to Charles and Ruby Hamilton, Charlie was the youngest of four. He attended Bay City Central High School, where he was the quarterback for the football team; he also lettered in basketball and tennis.

The University of Michigan was his choice, as his father and two older sisters were also “Wolverines.” He was an avid U of M booster all his life.

After two years there, during which he pledged Chi Phi Fraternity, Charlie took a hiatus and joined the army, where he attended the Army Language School in Monterey, CA. He eventually became a member of the Army Security Agency, and served as a Russian-German translator on the train between East and West Berlin. He also played quarterback for an army football team.

After three years, he returned to the University of Michigan and graduated as a pre-med major in 1955. The U of M was also his choice for his Medical School, Internship and Dermatology Residency. He was a member of Phi Rho Sigma Medical Fraternity and Galens 16

THE INDEPENDENT

Honorary Medical Society. He wrote many of the songs for, and performed in, that society’s annual fundraising event.

As a junior in Medical School, he married Peggy Zuelch, a recent U of M graduate. They celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2007.

His first medical practice was in Van Nuys, CA, but the lure of beautiful Santa Barbara caused him to move north and join the dermatology practice of Dr. Larry Nelson in 1964. When Larry retired, Dr. Kevin Osburn joined Charlie’s practice. Charlie’s patients, as well as his friends and family, were familiar with his unending memory for a good joke or great song. One could hardly believe the number of them that he could tell or sing, in his booming bass voice, at a moment’s notice. It was never “dull” around Charlie!!

In Santa Barbara he was a Board Member of The Lobero Theatre Foundation, La Cumbre Country Club, TriCounty Dermatology Society, United Way, and The Memorial Rehabilitation Foundation. He enjoyed reading for “Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.”

Playing a round of golf with his buddies or his family was his idea of a perfect day. He loved tending to his roses and puttering around his house and took great satisfaction in “professionally” fixing anything that needed fixing.

He was “Scottish” to the core and a devoted husband, loving father, revered uncle and faithful friend. He loved being called “Papa Charlie” by his two young grandsons and delighted in them.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sisters. He leaves his loving wife of 58 years, Peggy; older son, Chuck, of Goleta; and younger son, Robb (Anita), of Long Beach. He also leaves two grandsons, Grant and Dylan, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, many of whose lives he touched deeply.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no formal funeral services.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to either The Page Youth Center (P.O. Box 6766, Santa Barbara, CA 93160), Galens Medical Society (C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, Room F-5770, 1500 E. Medical Center Dr., SPC 5250, Ann Arbor, MI 48109), or a charity of your choice.

Joan Marie Malette 1944-2016

Joan Marie Malette died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Santa Barbara California, on April 8. She was 71. Gone too soon... Her warm light has gone out, but her glow remains. She will be dearly missed by her family and many friends.

She'll be remembered for her love of family, sharp wit, intelligence, devotion to books, her cat Miki, as well as her sunny, kind personality.

Born in Oregon, Joan grew up in South Pasadena, moving to Santa Paula with her beloved husband, Harry, and children. After 30 years living in Santa

Paula she and Harry moved to Indepen Independence, Oregon, where they started HLM Air Services, living part of the year in Anthem, AZ. Following the loss of her dear Harry in 2009, Joan settled in Santa Barbara to be closer to her family.

Joan did her undergraduate work at UC Santa Barbara and got a master's in Library Science at UC Berkeley. Always on a quest for knowledge, Joan was in love with learning. Her passion for literature and books sent her on a lifelong journey of collecting. Her library is extensive and beautiful. She shared her love of books with her family. Joan volunteered her skills as a librarian most recently at Planned Parenthood.

Joan leaves a loving legacy: daughter Beverly (Greg) Martinez, son Steve (Wendye) Malette, daughter Leslie (Rob) Spero, and sister Cathy (Dick) Lampman. Grandma Joanie adored her grandchildren, and they will miss her loving counsel and big hugs: Nicholas Martinez, Brittany (Walter) Maldonado, Haley Malette, Ross (Corinne) Spero, Victoria (Patrick) Dullenty, Alyssa, Josh and Jenny Smith, and great-grandson Brenden Malette.

Bobby Purkait

01/10/50-04/19/16

Bobby Purkait unexpectedly passed away on April 19, 2016. Bobby was born on January 10, 1950, in Kolkata, India.

From an early age it became obvious to his parents and teachers that Bobby had an exceptional intellect and deep concern for others. He completed his early schooling in his native India, earning a B.S. degree from the University of Kolkata, before moving to London and then the U.S. to continue his studies.

Bobby earned a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of London. He then moved to the U.S. where he earned a M.S. degree in Polymer Science and Engineering from University of New York. Continuing his educational pursuits, Bobby moved west, attending Stanford University, where he completed an executive business program. These educational experiences were the cornerstones of what would become an illustrious career in the research, development and marketing of specialized medical devices, products, technologies and therapies which enhanced and prolonged the lives of many.

Bobby began his career in the medical device industry with Abbott Laboratories as a senior executive for cardiovascular products. In 1986 Bobby joined the team at Mentor Corporation and within two years was promoted to vice president of Science and Technology. In 1998 Bobby was appointed senior vice president of Research and Development at Mentor Corporation where he continued to pioneer new medical technologies and develop new products.

A true entrepreneur with limitless energy, after leaving Mentor Corpora-

tion Bobby launched two companies.

His long career in product development led to Bobby being granted more than 12 patents for medical devices and material technology.

Bobby’s personal accomplishments were as significant as those of his professional career. He was a devoted father, son, brother, uncle and friend. After marrying Shirley in 1998, Bobby welcomed his son, Ryan, into the world. There is no doubt that of all of Bobby’s achievements, Ryan was his greatest, and was the joy and the love of his life. It was being a father and a mentor to Ryan that gave Bobby the most meaning and brought him the most pride. Theirs is a bond that will endure forever.

Bobby will be most remembered for his intelligence, creativity and unconditional love for his son. He was a fierce competitor who enjoyed a good game of tennis and the friendship of both opponents and partners off the court. A very self-disciplined man, he preferred to follow routines that maintained good physical health and hygiene. He enjoyed working out at the local YMCA and found joy, peace and spirituality in attending the Vedanta Temple.

He is survived by his son, Ryan, and Ryan’s mother, Shirley, both of Santa Barbara; four brothers and five sisters; his sister-in-law, Bea Purkait and numerous nieces and nephews.

A rite of passage ceremony was held on April 29 at Welch, Ryce, Haider, for close family members. A big thank you to Hindu Priest Vinod Dave.

A memorial service and celebration of Bobby's life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation in his name to the American Heart Association or the Vedanta Temple, 927 Ladera Lane, Santa Barbara, CA 93108.

a total of six years, adapting easily and enjoying the foreign lifestyle with the many exotic customs and celebrations of the Malaysians, Chinese and Indian people as well as the British influence.

Joan learned to master the skills of batik and Chinese brush painting.

In 1972 the family came back to the States and settled in Santa Barbara where Joan joined the S.B. Art Association, among others. Inspired by the coastline, the Santa Ynez Valley and the Southwest, she formed a large collection of landscape and seascape oil paintings as well as florals and abstracts. Joan had her work shown in many galleries and won numerous awards including 1st place in the '95 Semana Nautica Art Show.

Joan was married to Frank for 57 years until his passing in Oct. 2012. She is survived by her children, Susan, Frank (Gloria) Michael (Catherine) Marie and Peter, son-in-law Dale and grandchildren Jon and Crystal. Her daughter Tina Cummings sadly passed away May 1, on Joan's birthday. We will hold them both in our hearts forever. "And in the end I will seek you out amongst the stars".

Thanks to Visiting Nurses & Hospice Care. There will be a gathering of friends and family at the Glen Annie Club on June 2 at noon.

Joan Florence Manchak 05/01/32-04/07/16

Our beloved mother Joan Florence Manchak passed away peacefully on April 7 after a 20 year battle with Parkinson's. She had an extraordinary attitude of acceptance and courage, gentleness and kindness, always putting others first.

Joan was born on May 1, 1932, in Colfax, WA, the daughter of Joseph Stravens and Florence Cronin (whose cousin was the writer A.J. Cronin) and was the fourth of seven children. She attended Holy Names Academy in Spokane and the University of Seattle. She moved to Long Beach, CA, in 1954 for modeling and secretarial work and met Frank Manchak, a civil engineer whom she married. They moved to Madrid, Spain, where they lived for eight years and had four of their six children. While in Spain, Joan studied oil painting with Concha Maria Navas, and Spanish at the University of Madrid. After a brief return to California where the two youngest were born, the family then moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Singapore for

Barbara Sue Schmidt, née Levine, was born on April 16, 1945, married the love of her life, Stephen Craig Schmidt on November 12, 1973, and died at home in Santa Barbara on May 5, 2016. She was an outlier to the end, living almost 14 months after her diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. In those months, she traveled, spent time with family, played tennis, read novels, and generally enjoyed many of her favorite things.

A recently retired computer programmer, Barbara had a career that spanned Burroughs and the Bay Area, New York, Michigan, England and California. Most recently she enjoyed working at Yardi Systems in Santa Barbara. Sailing and sunset watching were lifelong joys. She is survived by her husband, Stephen Schmidt; daughter, Michelle Howard; granddaughter, Adrienne Howard; and Carol and Marty Levin and their daughter, Danielle (sister, brother-in-law, and niece).

Barbara had a habit of experiencing good things, be they sunsets, glasses of champagne, or amazing meals, as the “best ever". She possessed an authentic capacity to be fully present in the moment and find great joy in life’s pleasures.

The family invites you to celebrate Barbara’s life with a champagne toast over the next sunset you see.

ife offers many opportunities, but rarely in one’s lifetime does it offer the privilege of knowing a man like Walter Kohn. A Nobel Laureate and UC Santa Barbara professor of physics, Walter was a senior statesman, scientist, and scholar who left behind rich consequences for our world. He passed away just before midnight on April 19, 2016, with his wife, Mara Schiff Kohn, and other loved ones at his side. He was 93.

Born in Vienna in 1923, Walter was a teenager when World War II began. He and his sister, Minna, were rescued from the Nazi regime in one of the Kindertransport missions that brought some 10,000 children out of Nazi Germany, Austria, and other Germanoccupied territories, and placed them with surrogate families in England. His parents, Gittel and Salomon Kohn, were killed at Auschwitz in 1944.

Before leaving Austria, Walter was a student first at the Akademisches Gymnasium, the oldest secondary school in Vienna, and then at the Chajes Gymnasium, the Jewish high school. At the Akademisches, Walter followed a course of study in Latin and Greek under the guidance of his mother. That changed, however, when Walter attended the Chajes, whose principal, Emil Nohel, was a well-known physicist and a former teaching assistant of Albert Einstein. It was Dr. Nohel who first sparked Walter’s interest in physics — an interest that would last a lifetime.

When the time came for Walter to leave England, he was welcomed into the home of physician Bruno Mendel and his wife, Hertha Mendel, in Toronto, Canada. Bruno and Hertha became surrogate parents, encouraging and supporting Walter’s studies in physics at the University of Toronto.

As Walter described it, “Physics isn’t what I do; it is what I am.” Beyond physics, he was a humanist, an artist, and a philosopher who shared time with such revered figures as the Pope and the Dalai Lama.

In all, his career spanned nearly 70 years.

Walter, who became a U.S. citizen in 1957, received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Toronto, and his PhD in physics from Harvard. He worked at Bell Laboratories in the early 1950s as an assistant to the group that developed the transistor. From 1950-1960, he taught at Carnegie Mellon University, after working at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen as a National Research Council of Canada postdoctoral fellow. He then served for nearly two decades as a faculty member in UC San Diego’s Department of Physics, before leaving to spend the next 37 years at UC Santa Barbara.

Professor Kohn joined our faculty in 1979 as the founding director of our Institute for Theoretical Physics, now the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. The Institute brings together leading scientists from throughout the world to work on major problems in theoretical physics and related fields. Under his leadership, it quickly developed into one of the leading research centers in physics and has since been widely emulated internation-

ally. In 1993, the building that houses the institute was named Kohn Hall in honor of his founding contributions.

The highlight of Dr. Kohn’s career came on October 13, 1998, when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his development of the density functional theory. Proudly, this made him the first of six Nobel Laureates at UC Santa Barbara since 1998. I still remember the headline of our campus newspaper: “Walter Kohn: A Nobelist with Heart.”

A condensed matter theorist who made seminal contributions to the understanding of the electronic structure of materials, he revolutionized scientists’ approach to the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and solid

materials in physics, chemistry, and materials science. With the advent of supercomputers, density functional theory has become an essential tool for electronic materials science. About half of the world’s publications in quantum chemistry make reference to his theory. Professor Kohn also made major contributions to the physics of semiconductors, superconductivity, surface physics, and catalysis.

More recently, he had been working on macular degeneration, global warming, and renewable energies, such as solar energy.

In 2005, he and fellow Nobel Laureate and UC Santa Barbara Professor of Physics and of Materials Alan Heeger produced a docuindependent.com

mentary on solar power titled The Power of the Sun, narrated by actor and comedian John Cleese. It was distributed in several languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, several European languages, and Tagalog in the Philippines, with screenings worldwide.

My wife, Dilling Yang, and I had the honor and pleasure of working with Professor Kohn on this project. During this whole process, meeting regularly with Walter over afternoon tea, not only did I learn a great deal from him, but I also had a chance to observe his creative mind, experience his persistent spirit, and witness his legacy to humankind.

This film inspired us with the dream of empowering even the most isolated people of the developing world with electricity. When Walter first showed me the image of a camel carrying a solar cell to power the refrigeration of vaccines for delivery to remote areas, such as East Africa, I was deeply moved — not just by the power of the sun, but also by the power of science combined with human compassion.

Professor Kohn had many other milestone moments in his illustrious career, including being awarded the National Medal of Science; the Oliver Buckley Prize in Solid State Physics; the Davisson-Germer Prize in Surface Physics; the Feenberg Medal in ManyBody Physics; the Niels Bohr/UNESCO Gold Medal; and the Richard E. Prange Prize. He was also a recipient of the UC Santa Barbara Medal, our campus’s highest honor. He served as a member of the Department of Energy’s Basic Energy Science Advisory Committee and as a consultant with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Beyond his research, Walter was deeply engaged in matters spiritual and societal. In 2001, he was the inaugural speaker for the Templeton Research Lectures on Science, Religion, and the Human Experience, sponsored by the Templeton Foundation and hosted by UC Santa Barbara. He spoke about the interaction between science and religion, and about how science and technology pose both great promise and great threat to mankind in this global age.

I was particularly struck by his statement that “science by itself is not an adequate basis for conducting one’s life.” This was certainly a guiding principle in his own life. Throughout his career, Professor Kohn was a wise mentor and role model for colleagues and students alike. Many have been inspired by his incredible life story and his work to promote tolerance and world peace.

Walter’s inspiration and impact are beyond anything I can adequately describe. Through the fullness of his life and the genius of his work, he has left a living and lasting legacy on our proud UC Santa Barbara campus, in our community, and around the world. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Henry T. Yang is chancellor of University of California, Santa Barbara. A portion of his remem­ brance first appeared in Walter Kohn: Personal Stories and Anecdotes Told by Friends and Collaborators (Springer Science+Business Media, 2003).

Custody Crunch

I

recently joined the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office as Chief of Custody Operations after a career in corrections that included work as a consultant and assessor of jails across the country.

The core mission of every correctional facility is rehabilitation. We lack the appropriate facilities, and as a result, we are failing in that mission. The offenders released from our jail are essentially no better prepared to be successful in the community than when we booked them. The ones who are most at risk to reoffend, the mentally ill and the addicted, are the most adversely affected. This simply is because we do not have the physical plant or the staffing resources required to deliver effective custody services.

The community has been placed on notice, by numerous studies and reports, that the current facilities are inadequate. The current litigation on overcrowding has remained in our local court, and not moved to the federal courts, only because there has been perceived progress toward building a new facility.

Also, as Sheriff Brown seeks to fill positions and reduce operating costs, his efforts are challenged by the fact that all he can offer potential new staff members is an overcrowded and rundown facility. The new jail project will place the Sheriff in a much better position to recruit, hire, and retain competent staff.

This matter will be considered by the Board of Supervisors on Monday, May 23, at 9 a.m. Let’s end the discussion and begin the work.

O

ne office on the ballot June 7 is 1st District County Supervisor. The district includes Carpinteria, Summerland, Montecito, and roughly the eastern part of the City of Santa Barbara. Two candidates are running for this open seat (the incumbent is giving it up to run for Congress). One candidate has high name recognition due, in no small part, to the fact he has run

for a number of positions over the years. The other candidate is Jennifer Christensen, an independent, who is running for office for the first time. In this particular race, the candidate with the lesser name recognition is the more highly qualified one.

Jennifer Christensen is a person of integrity, intelligence, and accomplishment. She has an MBA, and she currently serves as the county’s investment officer. That “largest rainy day fund in county history” that the current 1st District Supervisor boasts about in his TV ads for Congress? Christensen actually authored the policy that resulted in that landmark fund. This is important because the county will be facing many challenges in coming years, including improving mental-health services, maintaining an aging roads infrastructure, and ensuring sheriff and fire protection services are adequately funded to keep our communities safe.

Christensen is also committed to protecting the environment. She is familiar with planning and landuse issues that face county government and will insist that environmental impact reports be required and carefully scrutinized when supervisors consider proposals for developments and projects that impact our coast and open space.

I am a lifelong Democrat who usually votes for the Democratic candidate in any given race. This time, though, I’m not doing that in the 1st District Supervisor race. Christensen is the better choice and is getting my — Craig Smith, S.B. vote.

And, by now, thanks to incredible media saturation and booming popularity, let’s also grant that the Funk Zone’s naP l e s tasting rooms, breweries, eateries, and assorted other curiosities — like the Santa Barbara Surf Museum, Arts Fund Gallery, and Blue Door antique shop — are on the must-do checklist for a vacation at home.

roCk the Waterfront

Start early and take a walk with coffee in hand along the Sandspit at the Santa Barbara Harbor’s outermost edge. The ocean and mountains mesmerize in the morning light from this unique, island-like vantage point, and the surrounding soundtrack of crashing waves, calling gulls, and gently rocking boats make the scene meditative. Follow up with a picnic breakfast on the secluded-in-plain-sight beach at the end of the ’Spit (low tide permitting), or opt for the belly-busting Breakwater Batter Special— Special sourdough French toast option a must! — on the patio at the nearby Breakwater Restaurant (sbbreakwater.com). You’ll be hardpressed to find a more satisfying start to your day.

Later morning is the perfect time to hit one of the stand-up paddle (SUP) rental outfitters in the area, like Paddle Sports Center ((paddle sportsca.com). Whether you’re a salty vet or it’s your first time sweeping the sea aboard a SUP, a casual spin around the harbor and Stearns Wharf combines sun-soaked exercise and visual encounters with dolphins, seals, and, sometimes, migrating whales. There can even be a few sleepy waves to ride should Mother Nature see fit.

After returning your paddle gear, run for cover and a big dose of seaworthy culture at the harbor’s Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (sbmm.org). sbmm.org). Located on the first floor beneath the Endless Summer Barsbmm.org Café, the museum is ground zero for the South Coast’s colorful— colorful and world-changing— seafaring traditions. world-changing

Our coast gets all the fancy hotels and cruise ships, and our wine region gets the tourism hype and headlines.

But in between those two well-traveled places is the lesser-experienced and markedly more natural world of the Santa Ynez Mountains. It is here, among the sweet-scented chaparral and naked sandstone peaks, where staycationers that don’t mind a little dirt under the fingernails can really begin to soar.

Grab a tent or a tow-behind and make a break for Paradise Road to call the Los Padres National Forest (www.fs.usda.gov) home for a few days.

Just a dozen miles from downtown, the numerous campgrounds, with seasonal swimming Gaviota Wind Caves holes, meandering trails, from above rock jumps, tall trees, and star-studded night skies, feels a world away but is close enough for day trips. Too starving to cook afterward? Check the schedule at the Paradise Store (paradisestoresb.com) for some live music on the sunny patio with a bucketful of ice-cold beers and a bowl of their homemade chorizo and tri-tip chili.

Above Paradise Road, just a few miles off Highway 154 along East Camino Cielo, is Knapp’s Castle, a somewhat mysterious and long-beloved spot perched above the Santa Ynez Valley. The ruins of George Knapp’s early-20th-century mansion have long lived in local lore for hosting wild and somewhat regular — albeit technically illegal — full-moon parties and drum circles. While those days are long since done, the new owners of the property have

done a terrific job cleaning the place up. Though it remains officially private, they’re generally welcoming of respectful sightseers and hikers. The views at sunset are most stirring.

On the backside of San Marcos Pass, tucked down below the elegant curves of the Cold Spring Bridge, is an undisputed titan of the Santa Barbara hospitality: Cold Spring Tavern (coldspringtavern.com).

Built in 1865 as a stagecoach rest stop, the tavern remains a welcome sight for the thirsty or hungry or just fun-loving traveler. Looking for that quintessential rustic and romantic candlelit dinner? This is the spot. Want to drink a Bloody Mary with a hundred motorcycle guys while listening to live bluegrass on a Sunday afternoon? This is the spot. Want a tri-tip sandwich that you will talk about for the rest of your life? Come see Tiny and the boys out back of the Tav—ES ern every weekend afternoon.

CruisinG CarP and ojai

Staying close to home but still wanting to ramble a bit? Look no further than our neighbors, Carpinteria and Ojai. Spend a slow day working your way from the quiet coast of Carp inland through the scenic twists and turns of Highway 150, past the big shimmering splash of drought-stricken Lake Casitas, and back to the open skies and chaparral-scented whimsy of the greater Ojai area. The adventure is a fantastic reminder of a simpler Southern California long since lost to the march of the mainstream.

Start things right with proper espresso and a top-notch açai bowl at Lucky Llama (facebook.com/luckyllamacoffee), the 4-year-old coffee house and gathering spot created by one of Carpinteria’s beloved sons, Ryan Moore.With fuel in your belly and caffeine in the veins, take the short jaunt over to the ocean’s edge to wander your way through the morning along the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve (carpinteria bluffs.org) and the seasonal seal rookery below.

After strolling, it’s back in the car and on the road to Ojai. A healthy, delicious, and memorable lunch experience can be found at The Farmer and the Cook Organic Market (farmerandcook.com).

A visit to Bart’s Books (bartsbooks ojai.com) is absolutely mandatory for staycationers and vacationers alike, for this “World’s Greatest Outdoor Bookstore” is an absolute joy, whether on your first visit or 50th.

OjaiAvenuedowntown(ojaiwalking map.com) offers the walking shopper an independent breath of fresh air from the hollow national chains of State Street, and flavors it strongly with an emerging, spiritual hipster ethos. Time things right, and you can wind down your day lying in the grass and listening to live music out-

side at the Ojai Rancho Inn (ojairanchoinn. com). Not quite ready to head home and looking to call an audible with your staycation? Hit up the brand-spanking-new Caravan Outpost (caravanoutpost.com), and spend the night in full retro glory in one of 11 Airstreams.

mission Canyon’s many treasures

No proper staycation would be complete without a stop or two in Mission Canyon, where both passive and more active tourism opportunities abound. Start by stopping to smell the roses at the Rose Garden in front of Mission Santa Barbara, where the large grassy lawn is a perfect place for a picnic or even larger party with friends.

Then it’s time for a tour of the Mission itself, which too many residents have never done (santabarbaramission.org). Recent work

Gone Gaviota

Few roadways in the world offer views more glorious than the 101’s route along the Gaviota Coast, where mountains jut dramatically out of the glistening ocean and scrape the ever-blue skies with their chaparral-studded sandstone peaks. There’s countless places to stop along the way, from state parks such

as El Capitan and Refugio (parks.ca.gov) to simple highway-side parking lots that offer magical seclusion in the protected coves below. Those seeking more of a curated experience that mixes in old Californio history should pay attention to the schedule at Arroyo Hondo Preserve, the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County–owned, 782-acre rancho (sblandtrust.org).

Proceed up the coast, and hike either to the wind caves on the west side of the 101 in Gaviota State Park or do the full Gaviota Peak hike on the east side, past the tunnel. Then it’s time for blueberry picking at Santa Barbara Blueberries (santabarbara blueberries.com), where it takes a good half hour or so to fill the provided buckets.

Indulge your inner farmer even more at The Farmstead (farmsteadca.com), located just a minute from the blueberries on Old Coast Highway toward Nojoqui Falls. They’ve got raspberries and other fruits to pick but also some of the more curious heritage animals such as kunekune pigs, Sicilian donkeys, and Nigerian dwarf goats.

Still have an appetite? Drive a few more miles up the 101 to Buellton, and chow down at Industrial Eats (industrialeats.com), quite possibly the tastiest food in the region. Wine tasting abounds from here — Alma Rosa is right next door (www.almarosawinery.com) — but you can also stay on the weird-animals kick and feed the ostriches and emus at OstrichLand U.S.A. (ostrichlandusa.com).

ake it from me and my better half: When you have a kid or two and you’re just looking to unwind in the great outdoors without having to set up a tent in the dark and share its uncushioned floor space with multiple snorers, glamping is the way to go. While the tent-cabins and yurts of El Capitan Canyon (elcapitan canyon.com) instantly come to mind, there are plenty of outfitters that can provide a semi-luxurious campout at an affordable price.

Next door to El Capitan, for example, is Ocean Mesa (oceanmesa.com). We drove through recently to discover well-kept, pet-friendly, Wi-Fi-connected tent and RV campsites surrounding a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. We also spied a laundry room, playground, and horseshoe pits, and I heard they screen outdoor movies on Thursdays. If that’s not enough to shed the stress, you can treat yourself to a hot-stone massage. For reals.

We also spent a few days at Jalama, where die-hard glampers can enjoy homelike amenities in the seven cabins on the little hill above Jalama Beach County Park’s traditional sea-level campsites. Switching views from ocean to lake, we found a handful of similar cabins at Cachuma Lake Recreation Area. “Simply pack your sleeping bags/bedding, pillows, towels/toiletries, and groceries,” according to the Santa Barbara County Parks website (countyofsb.org/parks). “Your effortless vacation begins the moment you arrive at your cabin.” Effortless vacation? Sign me up for two.

About 20 minutes from Cachuma, the privately run Rancho Oso Resort (ranchooso .net) features cabins, safari tents, covered wagons, and tepees — all big hits with the kids, and, depending on how far you’d like to

get away from it all, they offer various levels of electrical connectivity and insulation from the elements. There’s also horse camping and guided trail rides, among other perks.

Glampers looking for geographic flexibility can arrange RV delivery from 101 RV Rentals (101rvrentals.com) to Santa Barbara’s state beaches, from Gaviota to Carpinteria, plus Ocean Mesa and Earl Warren Showgrounds.

They also deliver to private residences (for a family reunion, for example), depending on accessibility. It’s a pretty simple program: After you’ve reserved a campsite ahead of time, 101 RV delivers a trailer from their fleet of 16, sets it up, and gives you a rundown on its features; when your stay is over, they come pick it up. They also have a trailer that’s handicap accessible, with a wheelchair lift and roll-in shower.

Nice touch.

This sort of RV glamping on the go became my family’s preference when we purchased a 19-foot Airstream International about 10 years ago. Over the years, it’s been a fully self-contained home base between rentals, a comfy campground crash pad, and, parked in the driveway, a detached guest room and office. Recently, via trailer19. com, we’ve rented it to Airstream fans for campouts and special occasions, and just like us, they’ve been very happy glampers. n

“I wasn’t so much into photography at first,” said Emily Velarde (right) (right), a student participating in a new class sponsored by Arts for Humanity! and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara. “But once I tried it, I liked it and want to do it more. I’m motivated.” The cell phone photography class, taught by photographer David Litschel, is aimed at empowering low-income and at-risk youth through the art of photography. With a slideshow lesson and hands-on learning, Litschel gives the kids a fun, new way of seeing their environment through basic photographic principles of composition and light. After a “photographic scavenger hunt” around Santa Barbara, Litschel brings the kids back into the classroom for a positive and inspiring critique. See artsforhumanity.com.

azillion Dresses? I stopped counting at a bazillion. With dresses for everyone from age 2-99 and styles ranging from prom to retro to bohemian, owner Inga Hartmann has created with her State Street boutique what she calls “a candy shop for girls.”

Hartmann moved from Ukraine to New York, where she was a buyer, personal shopper, and clothing store owner. After moving to California with her husband, opening a chain of stores, and having to close them all due to the IMPRESSING WITH DRESS: Gazillion Dresses owner Inga Hartmann shows off one of her many styles. economic downturn, Hartmann was unsure if she would open another store “The people who do know about us have fully again. However, when her husband suggested she embraced us, and we just want to give back,” Hartopen a store of all dresses, she came around.

“Because it’s all dresses, it makes it different from mann said.

That sense of caring and community is evident all other boutiques,” Hartmann said of her store, which opened in February 2015. “People are just in their personalized customer service and in the really happy when they come in.” And their wide way Hartmann and her employees treat one another. variety of colorful prints and sizes allows the store “You can’t run a business without great staff, and they to attract a diverse clientele. “A college-aged girl and are really dedicated and just help me so much.

andering in the Cuyama Valley chaparral while chewing fragrant wild roots and leaves might not sound like a delicious culinary adventure to the average cook. But in the Blossoms, Greens and Juniper Smoke class offered as part of the Wild Series course at Quail Springs Permaculture, educators are hoping to dispel the myths surrounding many forage-able foods.

The weekend-long course involves extensive wild-plant identification and appropriate land stewardship of wild terrain combined with a lively yurt kitchen group-cooking course that incorporates wild foraged foods and on-site raised meats.

Multi-course meals are inspired by global tradi- CuyaMa WISDoM: Join one of the many tions from Mexico to the classes in wild foraging and other natureMediterranean and are exploring activities at Quail Springs.

prepared using woodfueled earthen ovens. The menu highlights some Californian wild foods with which students would likely be familiar, such as mallow, miner’s lettuce, stinging nettles, and acorns, combined with plants that are a little harder to find.

The courses feed into the overall mission of Quail Springs, said Wild Series director Natalie Bartlett, explaining,“The big picture is really just to share beautiful old-time skills that people have forgotten.”

The farm was founded on a former cattle ranch near Ventucopa in 2004 by naturalists Warren Brush and Cyndi Harvan, who wanted to practice permaculture by designing a sustainable, self-sufficient agricultural plan using the natural ecosystem. The donated land now also serves as an educational organization for land stewardship and a mentoring center for different land-based and ancestral skills.

The courses range from kids’ and family programs to curious new learners and experts in international development, and cover subjects such as cob and natural building, blacksmithing, sacred hunting, various crafts, and small-scale farming. Quail Springs also runs an international development certification course through the Permaculture Research Institute that equips international development workers with skills that would benefit someone running development programs in non-westernized communities.

hite opera gloves. Orange underpants. One pair of crutches.

The objects on display are unrelated in almost every way.

The only quality they share is heartbreak.

Lock of hair. Shards of glass. Penguin cuff links.

Some are outright funny, some are gut-stabbingly sad, and some border on heebie-jeebie creepy. But no matter their size, condition, or origin, all are fraught with a feeling that’s familiar to most any adult, in any country: the ache of a fizzled affair.

Fur-lined handcuffs. Mercedes hood ornament. Under-knee prosthesis. Yes. That’s right. Prosthesis.

These are the artifacts exhibited at the Museum of Broken Relationships (brokenships.com) in Zagreb, Croatia. They’re donated by jilted lovers from around the globe and displayed anonymously, with a description or story explaining each item’s significance in the capsized courtship that it represents. Museum visitors wander through and peruse the mementos, often empathizing with strangers’ crazy-specificbut-somehow-universal tales of shriveled trysts and soured tenderness.

Candy G-string. Fluffy teddy bear. Old-skool shaving kit.

Founded by film producer Olinka Vištica and sculptor Dražen Grubišić—themselves a former couple who broke up and sought a way to preserve the detritus of their eroded alliance —the museum began as a temporary exhibit in 2006 and has toured 33 cities in 21 countries, collecting more trinkets at each stop.

Everyone loves a happy ending—but we don’t always get one, do we? The museum’s collection reminds us that our relationships make us who we are, and it confirms that although lost love feels like the most private kind of pain, in fact it pierces us all.

You may snicker at the stolen toaster with the note that says, “That’ll show you.

How are you going to toast anything now?”

You may grimace at the ax whose owner hacked up all of his ex-girlfriend’s furniemail: starshine@roshell.com ture while she was on holiday with her new lover.“The more her room filled with chopped furniture acquiring the look of my soul,” he wrote, “the better I felt.”

Now a second Museum of Broken Relationships will be opening in Los Angeles next month—in the old Frederick’s of Hollywood shop on Hollywood Boulevard, of all places. My friends and I can’t wait to go.

“Scores high on the un-penalized voyeurism scale” is how one pal describes it, and I couldn’t agree more. It’s like browsing knickknacks at an estate sale: macabre, mesmerizing, and utterly, miraculously encouraged.

“Exes become a part of people’s DNA whether we want them to or not,” says another girlfriend —“and the stories are always interesting.

I kept the jewelry. Never ever wear it, but there it sits, stashed in a box at the back of a high cupboard.”

But it’s time to drag that box down, sister, because the L.A. museum is seeking items for its exhibit!

“If you’ve wished to unburden the emotional load by erasing everything that reminds you of that painful experience by throwing it all away — don’t,” the website, brokenships.la, pleads. “Give it to us.”

I played curator for a day to see what I could wrangle up from my circle of oft-uncoupled amigas.

One deliriously happily married woman still sleeps nightly with an ex’s tattered pillow (zipped up safely inside another pillowcase) and wouldn’t dream of letting it go.

Another said she’d gladly turn over her copy of Charles Bukowski’s Love Is a Dog from Hell.“My former husband gave it to me,” she said,“on our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple. It was a waving red flag.”

Then there was the wedding dress:“Our divorce papers were signed on Halloween, and I didn’t have a costume planned,” she said.“But then inspiration struck. I went home, drank lots of bourbon, took scissors and fake blood to my dress — and went as a zombie bride!”

She contacted the new museum to donate the now-tattered and stained frock. Look for it—and my friends and me—if you go this summer.

Chicago was named the “rattiest city” in 2013 by a major pest control firm, based on the number of rodent control treatments the pest-control company performed that year. A newly proposed city ordinance relating to dog feces in property owners’ yards will mirror the existing law to fine dog owners that don’t pick up after their pets in public. If there’s a backyard littered with dog feces, it’s a backyard rat buffet and it’s part of the problem.

S.B. high’s natasha feshbach leaps toward State track & Field Finals

N

atasha Feshbach flunked the hurdles the

first time she tried them — and this is the first time the word “flunked” appears in a sentence with her name.

Feshbach, a Santa Barbara High senior, is a student-athlete par excellence. Her gradepoint average is a staggering 4.95, fashioned by her taking advanced-placement courses in every academic subject and getting nothing but As. Yale University will welcome her into its classrooms next fall.

Aspiring to maintain a mind-body balance, Feshbach looked for a sport to try when she entered high school. She had participated in youth gymnastics but grew out of it. “My best friends were in cross-country, so I went out for it,” she said.“I was a very average freshman runner.” The same crowd went out for track-and-field in the spring, and that’s where Feshbach found the opportunity to soar above average.

It started when Dons track coach Olivia Perdices directed the team to try push-ups and pull-ups. Feshbach dove into the exercises with the same enthusiasm she hits the books. “One of the guys told me, ‘You should do the heptathlon,’ ” she said. The “hep” is the women’s version of the decathlon, comprising seven events: 100-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 meters, long jump, javelin throw, and 800 meters.

The sophomore sprinter won league championships in the 100 and 200 meters and 4x100 relay.

She has qualified for the CIF Finals in all three races and set a school record of 24.95 seconds in the 200.

Kento Perera,

San Marcos tennis The junior remained undefeated in three years of Channel League singles competition, winning his third consecutive championship.

“I tried them all,” Feshbach said. “It went badly. I didn’t know how to hurdle. I hit a hurdle with my hands and pushed it over.” On the flat, though, she was one of the fastest sprinters in the school, a sign of her potential.

Feshbach attended a spring clinic at Westmont College that featured Ashton Eaton, the world-record holder in the decathlon, and Barbara Nwaba, a UCSB graduate who would become the U.S. champion in the heptathlon.

She decided to train with Josh Priester, a Westmont coach who started up a multi-event team (now the Santa Barbara Track Club) with Nwaba and other athletes.

“She wanted to do the hep but not the hurdles,” Priester said. So it was the hurdles that they worked on. “We put the hurdles 5½ meters apart [instead of the standard 8½] so she could feel quick between them,” Priester said. “We went through a progression. Now it’s her Natasha Feshbach currently holds these records: best event.”

Renato Moiso @ Via Maestra 42 Tenure: Starting All Italia Imports in 1993, his wholesale com-

pany grew into the beloved restaurant in 2000, all thanks to word of mouth. “I started the business out of my apartment, selling prosciutto and gelato, and it slowly grew,” said Moiso. “I feel so lucky, seeing the constant appreciation; it’s an amazing feeling.”

Résumé: Growing up in the small vil-

lage of Cocconato, Italy, in the Piedmont region, he started working in restaurants at age 12. With a desire to learn languages, he worked in England, Germany, and, finally, the U.S., working at Disney World’s Italian Pavilion at Epcot before moving to Santa Barbara in 1992.

t

569-6 e Street, v ia m a e 522,

m

Dish he digs: Truffle, truffle, and truffle. With fond memories

of his favorite fungi, Moiso recommends the porcini mushroom ravioli with black truffle sauce, or egg tagliatelle with butter and fresh-shaved truffle. Truffles being a regional classic, the dishes are seasonal, using black or white truffles. “I go crazy for truffles. I can talk for hours about truffles,” he said. “There is magic around them.”

The scoop: Named after the street where Moiso was born, Via

Maestra 42 is full of childhood memoirs, from his dad’s woodworker tools to his first Vespa license plate. In addition to family photos, Renato hand selects specialty imports from his region, from Barolo wine to an array of truffle oils — even the famous Piedmont hazelnut, Tonda Gentile delle Langhe, for their chocolate hazelnut panna cotta.

“I try to keep everything authentically Italian, from the silverware and dishes to the waitstaff and music streamed live from Torino,” said Moiso. “I want a feeling of comfort here, like my home. I want to give my customers that much.”

• wine Guide

regular readers of this column, you might be experiencing déjà vu. A few weeks ago, I wrote that at Phamous Café, a sign was up and people were frequenting the business. It turns out those “customers” were just construction crew. The real deal happened on May 13, when Phamous Café opened at 7127 Hollister Avenue, Suite 25, in Goleta next to Albertsons, in the space formerly occupied by Quiznos Sub. I stopped by, and the place was packed with people enjoying Vietnamese food. I tried their bánh mì sandwich, and it was terrific. They bake their bread fresh in-house every day. All the meat, pâté, and other assorted offerings are also fresh. Phamous Café is open 10 a.m.-9 p.m. daily and closed on Tuesdays.

BREAKFAST OPENS: Reader Primetime reports that coffee with some art, a surfing vibe, and healthy bites is now being served up in the newest business at 711 Chapala Street, called Breakfast. I am told that there are many fresh, organic, and locally made side choices for someone looking for an energy bar, bagel, or a cookie. For the most part, the business is a place to show art and clothes.

Dining Out Guide

he first two tenants at The Waterline, a commercial mixed-use project at 116122 Santa Barbara Street in the Funk Zone, have opened for business. Nook

by Master Chef Norbert Schulz and Lama Dog Tap Room & Bottle Shop started serving customers earlier this week.

It’s been 35 years since Schulz and his longtime business partner, Brigitte Guehr, first opened a restaurant in Santa Barbara, and Nook is their latest creation. Housed in a blue shipping container, Nook has an order window and a pickup window and buzzers to let you know when your food is ready.

The menu includes Blackened Rockfish Soft Tacos ($14), a Maine Lobster & Shrimp Albondigas Sandwich ($16), Pretzel & Beer-Battered Fried Shrimp ($13), House-Made Bratwurst ($12), Chicken Sausage ($12), a Duck Foie Gras Burger ($18), a Nook Burger ($14), a Waterline Seafood Burger ($15), a Purple Potato Waffle & Fried Chicken ($14), Dungeness Crab Cakes ($14), a Grilled Iron Steak Sandwich ($17), a Grilled Salmon Salad ($16), Lobster Mac ’N Cheese ($16), and a Tempura Soft Shell Crab Sandwich ($18).

Nook is open daily, 11 a.m.-10 p.m.

Nook shares space with Lama Dog Tap Room & Bottle Shop. Alex Hart, the Lama’s “beermonger,” tells me that the business has a bunch of beers on tap and that they have an exponentially greater number of bottles that are available for consumption on-site or to go. Small- and large-format bottles are available.

Owner Pete Burnham began his career by spending countless hours climbing barrel stacks, analyzing fermentations, and bottling cases of wine. He was just like any other cellar rat, doing grunt work at one of the many wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley in order to gain experience and start making a name for himself in this tightknit winemaking community. Soon thereafter, he landed an assistant winemaking job at Carr Winery and was given the opportunity to make his own wine on the side using Carr’s land and equipment.

He became intrigued by the ever-growing craft beer culture that had started exploding around 2010. At the time, he says he was shocked to realize that Santa Barbara didn’t have any truly good, diverse beer concepts, and he soon after made it his mission to fill that void. His answer: Lama Dog Tap Room & Bottle Shop, named for Pete’s lovable and enormous Tibetan mastiff, Lama (named for fellow Tibetan the Dalai Lama). Lama Dog is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday and 11 a.m.midnight Thursday-Saturday.

The recent surprising death in Santa Barbara of liquor creatormogul Robert J. Cooper (the Manhattan-raised UCSB grad who created the wildly popular St.-Germain elderflower liqueur) means you must toast his passing with his last creation. That would be this reinvention of an 1884 recipe that adds honey, oranges, Angostura bitters, and rock candy—the nicest way to say sugar, ever— ever to straight rye whiskey.

Nowhere near as gimmicky as it sounds since it starts with a fine rye base and is amped up to 100 proof, this is basically an old fashioned in a bottle; just add ice and an orange peel. It’s a perfect warm-weather sipper and is versatile in cocktails. If you want more citrus, say, you could revive the Ward Eight (rye, OJ, lemon juice, grenadine) for the election season, since we all might need to pound down a few to get through this one.

Melody Parker

Conner Cherland

Refreshingly creative, curiously jazzy, and perplexingly poppy: This is the whimsically weird and one-of-a-kind chamber pop of Melody Parker. Conjure up images of a carnivalesque Kate Bush or Laurie Anderson as a bazaar saleswoman, and you may get a sense of intelligently fanciful and powerfully, idiosyncratically femme energies at work. The one-two opener of “Love” and “The Prophet and the Profiteer” are bustling with playful bohemian energy and mental precision both, an intellectual bacchanalia of instrumentation. Some might find her a little bombastic or musical-theater-y, but those who like their pop to be thought-out, exuberantly experimental, and zestfully pioneering will find much to enjoy here.

—Richie DeMaria

Area singer/songwriter Conner Cherland recently released his debut album, Wanting Man, for free online (noisetrade.com/connercherland/wanting-man). The six-song record is brief, but the songs carry a disproportionate weight thanks to crafty lyrics and layers of sound. Cherland shows off impressive guitar chops, which he uses to alternate with his wholesome voice, and both are presented with a steadfast confidence and glimpses of pride, though not in excess. His songs focus on interpersonal relationships, both good and bad, and there’s an underlying sense of self-consciousness at the root of each. You can see Cherland play at numerous regional wineries in June, so sip and listen in.

snap! drag revue BLOOMIN’ BORGIA: The founder of the Snap!

Drag Revue describes the Sunday brunch as a way to leave all your worries behind.

If a delightful brunch with a generous serving of fabulously singing, self-empowered, and beautiful drag queens are your Sunday wish, then click your heels and snap! — your wish is granted. Now in its ninth month, the Snap! Drag Revue Brunch is back and bigger than ever. Since the revue’s start, SOhO has been the place to be one Sunday a month for a triple heaping of self-expression, song, and sweet and savory scrumptiousness, all in one sitting.

Founder Borgia Bloom said she felt inspired to start the revue brunch after taking a few straight friends out to a drag brunch in New York City. “Halfway through the show, they turned to me and said, ‘You have to make this happen in Santa Barbara!’”

Bloom said. “I responded, ‘I’m already working with my graphic designer on a logo.’”

With seven to eight queens singing hits from ranging Broadway to present-day hip-hop, the revue is a visual and aural buffet of beauties of every kind.

Expect to sing along and to laugh. “There are many different types of drag queens, and I try and feature them all — comedy, camp, glamour, beauty, impersonation,” Bloom said. “The great thing about a drag show is that it has the ability to make you forget your problems and shelve any worries you may have. That’s why I went to drag shows for so many years,” Bloom said. “I knew that for one hour, I didn’t have to think about what bills I had to pay, personal relationships that were challenging, people who were unhappy around me, work. There wasn’t a consistent sassy show in Santa Barbara that did that — until we came along!”

The Snap! Drag Revue starts at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 22, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). For more information, call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com.

A LAUNCH PAD preview production A psychedelic rhythmic verse drama that follows one ordinary man’s pursuit of a new working class frontier.

WALLS OF ART: Elizabeth Folk’s provocative “You’ll Never Work in This Town Again” is one of the contemporary works in the Arts Fund Gallery’s latest group exhibition, Stone Soup.

STone Soup Presented by Can(n)on Studios.

At the Arts Fund Gallery. Shows through May 21.

T

he Arts Fund Gallery continues to mount impressive shows that demonstrate how active the contemporary art scene in our city really is. In the case of Stone Soup, the new group exhibition curated by and featuring the artists of Can(n)on Studios, that city is … Goleta. Since 2010, Can(n)on’s open-plan workspace for artists located in Old Town has been a powerful source of new work and new ideas, with husband-and-wife team Kimberly Hahn and James Van Arsdale leading the way.

Stone Soup is actually the second show for the Can(n)on Studios artists as a group, although the roster of artists has changed since they were last featured at SBCC’s Atkinson Gallery. This installation, which was done by the artists with help and inspiration from Arts Fund boardmember Nancy Gifford, makes brilliant use of the former fish store in the Funk Zone.

On the wall immediately across from the gallery entrance, UCSB’s Elizabeth Folk has installed two of her characteristically provocative, mind-bending pieces, each with a story to tell. “You’ll Never Work in This Town Again” (2016) is an abstract version of a pillory, that medieval punishment device which held wrongdoers by the neck and both wrists so that passersby could ridicule and abuse them. In Folk’s 21st-century aestheticized version, the heavy wooden structure has the clean white surfaces and geometric anonymity of a modernist object, but with one unsettling exception—a thin strand of birdseed marking the line where the upper and lower bars of the pillory meet. It’s an interesting variation on the familiar format of the triptych, and it invites viewers to imagine what it might be like to wear the device’s collar and cuffs. Next to the pillory on the wall, the artist has placed a second triptych,

this time with three small video screens set inside a broad frame covered in tiny strips of decoupaged shredded newsprint. “Slooot” (2015/16) examines many of the same ideas present in the pillory next to it — public shaming, the need to disappear, and the use of force in capturing people’s attention.

Marco Pinter’s “Pas de Trois: Adagio” (2016) is, as its title indicates, also a kind of triptych, or at least a trio. Pinter’s fascination with dance has, in this instance, led him to animate objects through the use of robotic motors and electronics. Following a program scripted by the artist, a heavy rope, four light scarves, and an unseen object poking nearly through a stretched piece of cloth move together, at some times in unison, and at others in counterpoint. There’s a charming connection here between the interactive robotic present and the modernist heritage that includes Magritte and Duchamp. Rafael Gaete also has a single work in the show, and it’s spectacular. “72 Colors” (2015) is a giant (72x96) grid painting of geometric colored verticals against a fuzzed-out blackand-white background, and it’s unquestionably one of the most exciting paintings to be shown in Santa Barbara this year. On the basis of “72 Colors,” Gaete belongs in the elite of area abstractionists—it’s a tour de force of rhythm, balance, and control.

Kimberly Hahn’s “Disconnected #1/3” (2016) haunts the viewer with remnants of a difficult relationship between a father and a daughter (not the artist’s own, but an acquaintance). Finally, James Van Arsdale continues his custom car cruise through the iconography of heavy metal and its fans with two works, “Metal Shield Arc Bolt” (2015) and “Spinning Brass Knuckles with Throwing Star” (2015), and they are a pair of aces.

a&e | POSITIVELY STATE STREET

Two HUGE shows in one SHORT week!

Saturday, May 21 MAY GRAY: The gray skies of Goleta make a good sonic backdrop for The Blues and Greys, who play Velvet Jones Saturday.

Letters of rep

by Richie DeMaria SCARLET LETTERS: S.B., O.C.—two acronyms, both designating regions

filled with households, both alike in dignity, in fair California, where we lay our scene. Yet neither can seem to be quite what it wants to be, relative to the neighboring behemoth of L.A., a letter pairing with few equals in terms of renowned music mecca or art-movement-birthing status.

Even though L.A., like anywhere, spawns a thousand more imitators than originators—if not more so for its moth-attracting light of fame— the celebrity city’s neighboring population spillovers and feed systems are perceived worldwide as markedly more middling, eternally so. Try as they might, neither S.B. nor O.C. is fully out from under the shade of stereotype, wherein all who make music in the territory of these geographic symbols struggle to escape the culture-squashing weight of comfortable living, affluence, and beaches, supposedly.

On Saturday, May 21, at Velvet Jones, two rising rock bands hope to challenge those beliefs. The Blues and Greys and Hawai, who are joined by The Maybe Somedays on the Velvet stage, each spoke separately about their desire to buck the prevailing labels about their home turf, or at least to shed the label of S.B. or O.C. itself.

The pejorative “Santa Barbara band” label is one The Blues and Greys hope to dismantle with their next body of work. The upcoming show is their last before they go dark into a period of writing and self-reinvention—and the new songs will indeed be bluer and greyer.“I don’t think people will see us as a Santa Barbara band [after our next release],” said keyboardist and S.B. native Zach Wallace, noting that the vibe of the town does often lend itself to unchallenging art. Bassist Michael Million said the band aspires, instead, to innovate.

For those who write off Santa Barbara as a painless ever-summer paradise, bands like The Blues and Greys—and contemporaries like Ghost Tiger —remind us of the gloomier months of May and June, when the beaches can’t even be seen past the cold wall of fog. Lead singer Lindsey Ann Waldon said the new lyrics will reflect upon “the darker side of relationships, especially toxic relationships, and how cruel people can be to one another, even sexually.”

If The Blues and Greys are hoping to disrupt the notion of S.B. as promising a nothing-but-cushy existence, then Hawai is also hoping to remind the world that O.C.-ers are not without their struggles. “You gotta work a little bit harder to be taken seriously as people who actually grind it out and love the craft,” said singer Jake Pappas. “The stigma of O.C. is spoiled rich kids whose parents purchase all of their music equipment. The music scene is oftentimes very much out of reach, there’s very limited clubs, and it’s really hard to be seen.”

The two bands are similar, both representing an Internet-built challenge facing music-makers worldwide. In a proudly local, proudly individual time, when everyone wants to be heard by everyone else on the globe, how do you rise above your geography and garner attention past your most immediate borders? For Hawai, the answer has been in a strong production and press team, including producer Lars Stalfors (of Cold War Kids fame), who helped provide a “maturity” and focus to the material and distilled it to its current state, Pappas said.

The Blues and Greys, on the flipside, are soon to cocoon. While things may appear to go from quiet to quieter —“We’ve had multiple people ask, ‘Are you starting a cult? Can I join?’” said Waldon of their shadowy inactivity—the post-show months ahead will be a time of intensive reconstruction and reinvention. Old days (and perhaps old labels) are soon to be behind them.“We’re trying to change and evolve,” Waldon said.

The Blues and Greys, Hawai, and The Maybe Somedays play at Velvet Jones (423 State St.) on Saturday, May 21, at 8 p.m. For more information, n visit velvet-jones.com.

HAMELL ON TRIAL + JIMMER HAMELL ON TRIAL - “a one-man Tarantino flick: loud, vicious, luridly hilarious, gleefully and deeply offensive” - The Village Voice. Odd yet Incredible!

JIMMER left the RaveUps behind 25 years ago. He’s come roaring back with a killer new band and magical songs that give a haunting, hard-rock look at a man and his demons.

Tuesday, May 24

THE JAMES HUNTER SIX JAMES HUNTER is the UK’s greatest soul singer. “He makes tough old-school R&B with a bracing modern-day kick...Hunter’s ultra tight band cooks with authority, but his swaggering, good-humoured vocals and snappy tunes are the main attraction,” - Mother Jones “...an absolute belter if you like your R&B raw, red-blooded and defiantly vintage.” - Uncut

The Darkness

Hollywood Horror Rides a Scary-Movie Renaissance

T

Movie GuiDe

he Darkness isn’t genius, yet this middling-scary movie, starring Kevin Bacon and Radha Mitchell, gives time to reflect on why you really should watch horror films. I know; most grown-ups don’t do horror, and with some good reason. Certain franchises such as Saw and Hostel seem like mere gross-outs, or, worse, cynical calculations exploiting clichéd formulas.

(Although James Wan, who gave us Saw, did go on to create the far more imaginative films The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, and has branched out into action films with Furious 7 and the upcoming Aquaman).

HELLO, DARKNESS: Starring Kevin Bacon, horror film The Darkness is as good But even with the bloodletting bad a reason as any to dive into cinema’s dark side. taste, the genre is enjoying a renaissance today.

Nowadays, with digital film, computers, and raging Studios actively finance horror films while lavishly ignoring their actual production, lending filmmakers CGI talent abounding, scary movies are more vibrant surprising room to create. The benign neglect comes than ever. The most beautiful film I saw this year was from the sheer profitability of the genre: The first Para- The Witch, which was made by an ambitious art direcnormal Activity movie was made for $15,000 and cost tor who packed in everything from Christian iconogthe studio just over $1 million on advertisement, and raphy to fairy-tale cloaks. Last year it was It Follows. it recouped $85 million at the box office. Scary movies Both were terrifying and gorgeous. Many new horror directors such as Adam Wingard (The Guest) and Jenturn huge profits.

For these reasons, I proclaim horror the new film nifer Kent (The Babadook) seem smart enough to rival noir. The 1940-’50s gumshoe, femme fatale stories Raimi or Jackson. now revered began as low-budget B movies assigned But even The Darkness offers more than Hollywood to young or foreign directors hopped up on expres- action films. This Kevin Bacon vehicle features a family sionism and A-movie ambitions. Studios looked away with an autistic son, bulimic daughter, and alcoholic as directors cut corners stylishly — under-lighting wife — afflictions at least as mysterious as the demons cheap sets, for example, for effect when making haunt- the film summons to the suburbs. Often a subtle ing movies such as Detour (1945) and Kiss Me Deadly subtext accompanies the outré happenings. A blood(1955). Horror filmmakers work the same con: low- soaked cosmic end (with demons, witches, and ghosts) budget quickies with most of the money spent on stage threatens a beautiful world, though a world far from blood. It’s not new: Francis Ford Coppola, Sam Raimi, innocent. Like most nouvelle horror noir, The Darkness and Peter Jackson are all auteurs who began with gore offers glimpses of mortality draped in rich formalistic excess, and drips a bit of truth, too.

—D.J. Palladino and bumps in the night.

O The Jungle Book

(105 mins.; PG)

Movies always ought to be this good, but it’s been such a long drought that this one seems like a miracle. The special effects astound; they are so good you take them for granted. But that’s not the best part. Disney’s newest version of The Jungle Book has a grand narrative sweep that never lets us down. It’s thrilling, sad, scary, funny, and finally intelligent enough to make the simple Promethean quest feel profound. Great celebrity voices such as Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, and Christopher Walken intrude like unexpected delights, camping up the fun. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)

The band’s chirpy, hooky sound is better than he or any of the rest of us expect, as is this charmer, the latest in the sparkling track record of Irish writer/director John (Once) Carney, who channels a semiautobiographical storyline. Moments along the way remind of the 1979 Roger Corman/Allan Arkush B-movie classic Rock ’n’ Roll High School, but minus the cheeky B-factor, and with ’80s hair-band sincerity instead of Ramones-y snark. In all, it’s the good kind of feel-good movie, squarely in the category of Once-y warm fuzzies. (JW) Metro 4

Then about halfway through the film, Tony Stark goes to visit the brand-new Peter Parker, followed by a brilliantly staged battle in an airport between the Avengers who want to cooperate with authority and those who seek freedom from any government. In the end, the movie provides us with a couple of shockers to match the fun, and those who fell asleep in the first half hour will wake refreshed, dying to

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of may 19 ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): “An oar moves a boat by entering what lies outside it,” writes poet Jane Hirshfield. You can’t use the paddle inside the boat! It’s of no value to you unless you thrust it into the drink and move it around vigorously. And that’s an excellent metaphor for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, my friend. If you want to reach your next destination, you must have intimate and continual interaction with the mysterious depths that lie outside your known world.

(June 21 - July 22): To prepare you for the coming weeks, I have gathered three quotes from the Bulgarian writer Elias Canetti. These gems, along with my commentary, will serve you well if you use them as seeds for your ongoing meditations. Seed #1: “He would like to start from scratch. Where is scratch?”

Here’s my addendum: No later than your birthday, you’ll be ready to start from scratch. In the meantime, your task is to find out where scratch is, and clear a path to it. Seed #2: “All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.” My addendum: Monitor your dreams closely. They will offer clues about what you need to remember. Seed #3: “Relearn astonishment, stop grasping for knowledge, lose the habit of the past.” My addendum: Go in search of the miraculous.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): An invigorating challenge is headed your way. To prepare you, I offer the wisdom of French author André Gide. “Through loyalty to the past,” he wrote, “our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow’s joy is possible only if today’s joy makes way for it.” What this means, Libra, is that you will probably have to surrender your attachment to a wellhoned delight if you want to make yourself available for a bright new delight that’s hovering on the frontier.

An educational blessing will come your way if and only if you clear space for its arrival. As Gide concludes, “Each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding wave.”

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Fifth-century Christian theologian St. Jerome wrote that “it requires infinite discretion to look for gold in the midst of dirt.” Ancient Roman poet Virgil on one occasion testified that he was “searching for gold in dung.” While addressing the angels, nineteenth-century French poet Charles Baudelaire bragged, “From each thing I extracted its quintessence. You gave me your mud, and I made gold out of it.” From what I can tell, Caprciorn, you have been engaged in similar work lately. The climax of your toil should come in the next two weeks. (Thanks to Michael Gilleland for the inspiration: tinyurl.com/ mudgold.)

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): The short attention span is now enshrined as the default mode of awareness.“We skim rather than absorb,” says author James Lough. “We read Sappho or Shakespeare the same way we glance over a tweet or a text message, scanning for the gist, impatient to move on.” There’s a problem with that approach, however.“You can’t skim Shakespeare,” says Lough. I propose that we make that your epigram to live by in the coming weeks, Taurus: You can’t skim Shakespeare. According to my analysis, you’re going to be offered a rich array of Shakespeare-level information and insights. To get the most out of these blessings, you must penetrate and marinate and ruminate.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): “There are situations in life when it is wisdom not to be too wise,” said Friedrich Schiller.

The coming days may be one of those times for you.

I therefore advise you to dodge any tendency you might have to be impressed with your sophisticated intelligence. Be suspicious of egotism masquerading as cleverness. You are most likely to make good decisions if you insist on honoring your raw instincts. Simple solutions and uncomplicated actions will give you access to beautiful truths and truthful beauty, especially if you anchor yourself in innocent compassion.

Homework: What’s the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why can’t you? Go to freewillastrology.com and click “Email Rob.”

(July 23 - Aug. 22): “There are friendships like circuses, waterfalls, libraries,” said writer Vladimir Nabokov. I hope you have at least one of each, Leo. And if you don’t, I encourage you to go out and look for some. It would be great if you could also get access to alliances that resemble dancing lessons, colorful sanctuaries, lion whisperers, prayer flags, and the northern lights.

Right now you especially need the stimulation that synergistic collaborations can provide. The next chapter of your life story requires abundant contact with interesting people who have the power to surprise you and teach you.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): “How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Henry David Thoreau wrote that, and now I’m passing it on to you just in time for a special phase of your long-term cycle.

During this upcoming interlude, your main duty is to FEED YOUR SOUL in every way you can imagine. So please stuff it with unpredictable beauty and reverent emotions. Cram it with mysterious adventures and rambling treks in the frontier. Gorge it with intimate unpredictability and playful love and fierce devotions on behalf of your most crucial dreams. Warning: You will not be able to rely solely on the soul food that has sustained you in the past. Be eager to discover new forms of nourishment.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): “Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible,” says author Rebecca Solnit. She is of course implying that it might be better not to beat the possible, but rather to protect and nurture the possible as a viable option — especially if perfection ultimately proves to have no value other than as a stick. This is always a truth worth honoring, but it will be crucial for you in the weeks to come. I hope you will cultivate a reverence and devotion to the possible. As messy or maddening as it might be, it will also groom your powers as a maker.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): “Here’s how every love letter can be summarized,” says Russell Dillon in his poem “PastPerfect-Impersonal”: “What is it you’re unable to surrender and please may I have that?” I bring this tease to your attention because it may serve as a helpful riddle in the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase when you will have an enhanced ability to tinker with and refine and even revolutionize your best intimate relationships. I’m hoping Dillon’s provocation will unleash a series of inquiries that will inspire you as you imagine how you could supercharge togetherness and reinvent the ways you collaborate.

LEO

CAPRICORN

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): “At this time in my life,” says singer Joni Mitchell, “I’ve confronted a lot of my devils. A lot of them were pretty silly, but they were incredibly real at the time.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Aquarius, you are due to enjoy a similar grace period. It may be a humbling grace period, because you’ll be invited to decisively banish worn-out delusions that have filled you with needless fear. And it may be a grace period that requires you to make strenuous adjustments, since you’ll have to revise some of your old stories about who you are and how you got here. But it will also be a sweet grace period, because you’ll be blessed again and again with a visceral sense of liberation.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): More than halfway through her prose poem “A Settlement,” Mary Oliver abruptly stops her meandering meditation on the poignant joys of spring’s soft awakening. Suddenly she’s brave and forceful: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it.

I’m about to forgive you for everything.” Now would be a perfect moment to draw inspiration from her, Pisces. I dare you to say it. I dare you to mean it. Speak these words: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it.

I’m about to forgive you for everything.”

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 712 SPRING ST, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93103 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay

the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to‑wit: $777,516.89 (Estimated) as of 05/11/2016.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916‑939‑0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting. com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9551‑3175.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
