If nothing else, you’ve got to give political candidates some credit for consistently raising the profile of words we might otherwise take for granted, in this case “Yuuuuuge!” as field-trippin’ Indy staffstaffers said of the printing press they visited last week. Down in Orange County, the temp surpassed 90 degrees, and the heat and humidity in the building that held the three-story press, easily a half a football field in length, was up in the hundreds. “You could taste the ink and toner in the air,” described one. “Super nerdy cool,” said another of the 55,000-issuesper-hour behemoth, which also allows us to create special editions, such as the Rio Olympics and Fiesta ones being prepped as you read. Now that’s huge.

This power line goes inside the pipe at some points and then outside at others. The transition pieces are crucial for that insideoutside transition, but the parts are 25 years old, made of fragile fiberglass, and encased in concrete. When one was tested at low pressure, bolts snapped off, and the expensive widget “exploded,” much like a “sheeredoff” fire hydrant. Each of the four “pieces” are unique and have to be custom built outside the United States. Only two have even been measured, which required that the concrete be carefully chipped away. Of the other two, one is in the ocean and the other located on the beach near the bicycle path. Because the grunion will soon be running — burrowing into the wet beach sands for mating purposes — it’s not clear exactly when such measurements can be taken.

In the meantime, Santa Barbara residents are using 36 percent less water than they did a year ago. But consumption typically increases in July and August—traditionally the hottest months of the year. For the time being, the City of Santa Barbara is pumping all eight of its wells, pedal to the metal. Thus far, there’s been no evidence of saltwater intrusion, but that’s only a matter of time.

Lake Cachuma is effectively dry, save for a few thousand acre-feet of water carried over from previous years. And every day, the pipes and pumps of the state water system deliver 42 acre-feet of water —bought from Kern County water agencies. Of that, the City of Santa Barbara takes about two-thirds and Goleta the rest. “Goddamn,” exclaimed Haggmark. “It’s got to rain at some point, right?”

Former TV anchor Paula Lopez completed her eight-week electronic monitoring sentence on 7/28 for her DUI case last year, when she drove the wrong way down the freeway and then resisted officers during her arrest. Earlier this year, Lopez struck a plea deal with prosecutors, accepting 120 days in jail (she served half on electronic monitoring) and three years’ probation.

Three undocumented people in the City of Santa Barbara were arrested in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid last week as part of a four-day operation across Southern California, yielding 112 detentions total. According to ICE officials, the arrestees included Mexican men with, individually, two convictions of DUI and one hit-and-run causing death or injury, convictions for sexual battery and battery, and a conviction of battery on spouse. Two are awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge; one was deported. A fourth person arrested in Goleta was later released, according to ICE.

WATER TORTURE: With Lake Cachuma lower than it’s ever been, tensions between the water agencies relying on it have hit the breaking point. Adding to the pressure, S.B. city officials announced the start-up date for the desalination plant could be pushed back by as much as two months, coupled with cost overruns approximating $8 million. The culprits are contaminated soil — 12,700 cubic yards’ worth — and ancient electrical equipment that “exploded” upon testing.

by N i c k W e l s h or a $60 million industrial construction project, running a few months over schedule is not typically a matter of concern.

But with Lake Cachuma — which supplies half the South Coast’s water supply —down to 11.5 percent capacity, now is not a happy time to discover technical difficulties will delay the starting date for the City of Santa Barbara’s refurbished desalination plant by a couple of months.

For a host of reasons — contaminated soil and faulty, hard-to-replace electrical components needed to power the plant’s intake pipe—City Hall will have to spend nearly $5 million above and beyond the $55 million it budgeted last year. And the start-up date—originally scheduled for October 1 and then December 1 — has now been pushed back to January 23, 2017.

news briefs

Two young girls were sexually assaulted in their family’s waterfront apartment around 4 a.m. on 7/23, and the Santa Barbara Police Department credits public and business tips with the apprehension of a suspect by nightfall. Matthew Robert Torres, a 39-year-old transient, was seen on video surveillance footage obtained when police canvassed the area of the attacks. Acting on tips gained through social media, they saturated the Carrillo and State Street areas and located Torres. He is charged with two counts of sexual assault and burglary and was booked at County Jail on $100,000 bail.

city The Milpas Street Scolari’s grocery store vacated in 2012 and occupied by Fresh Market for just over a year will be sporting the Trader Joe’s logo by sometime in 2018. Details have yet to be worked out for a makeover of the 22,000-square-foot storefront at 222 North Milpas Street, but TJ’s intends to open the new store and close the existing one at Milpas and Carpinteria streets on the same night. “We are slated to have a seamless transition where our present store will close at its regular hour and the new location will open at the normal time the following day,” said TJ’s publicist Alison Mochizuki.

county A long-stewing, neighbor-against-neighbor debate returns to the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission on 8/3, as county staffers present to the public for the first time their draft regulations concerning short-term rentals. As directed late last year, staffers have updated zoning laws to ban short-term rentals (fewer than 31 days) in residential neighborhoods but allow them on ranches and farms. The meeting

cou rtesy

Parents of a Santa Barbara police officer are suing former police chief Cam Sanchez and former city administrator Jim Armstrong, alleging their son drank himself to death after Sanchez and Armstrong denied their son the medical benefits to which he was constitutionally entitled — workers’ compensation and medical retirement — after he sustained a debilitating case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of multiple harrowing work-related experiences. David Anduri Jr. (pictured) died at Cottage Hospital on October 13, 2014, of liver failure after what his parents’ attorney, Jonathan Miller, described as an “exemplary” 13-year career.

Miller contends that Anduri self-medicated with alcohol after city superiors denied him workers’ compensation in May 2013 even though Anduri had been evaluated by two doctors — selected by City Hall — and both concluded he’d been disabled by the stresses and strains of being a police officer. Miller’s legal filings described Anduri performing CPR on a man who shot himself in the head — and survived. Blood, he said “was shooting and pouring out” of the victim’s nose and mouth, and Anduri, who didn’t have a mask at the time, was drenched in the victim’s blood afterward. As an officer, Miller argued, Anduri was exposed to “dead bodies, suicides, violent assaults, sexual assaults, crimes against children, crimes against the elderly, gunshot wounds, hangings, etc. … ” Anduri was training for the bomb squad when the stress caused physical tremors in his hands. Miller claims Anduri first exhausted his medical and vacation time and then applied for workers’ comp in 2013. For the Police Department, that year produced the highest number of workers’ comp claims — 1,064 — for the time between 2010 and 2015. Anduri was denied. When he sought medical retirement, he was denied that, too. Miller alleged Armstrong said Anduri should be made to “work for it.”

Making the lawsuit novel, Miller is alleging Anduri had a constitutional right to these medical benefits by virtue of certain legal rights that accrue only to public employees. City Attorney Ariel Calonne noted the abundance of “strongly worded allegations” and vowed to investigate them: “Officer Anduri’s death was tragic. The — Nick Welsh City will defend this case vigorously.”

The next phase of the Highway 101 widening project is set to start in September, with the California Transportation Commission picking up the $60 million tab. Phase 3, the Linden and Casitas Pass interchanges project in Carpinteria, will be a four-year project.

Caltrans is still revising plans for Phase 4 — the 10-mile carpool lane from Santa Barbara to Carpinteria — after a judge ordered its environmental review inadequate due to its impact on city intersections.

As Lake Cachuma hit historic low-water marks last week, the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District ID1 (Improvement District Number 1) officially renounced its membership in the Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board (COMB). Santa Ynez representatives complained COMB was setting aside more water for steelhead restoration efforts than federal agencies required. They also complained South Coast water agency members — Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Montecito — failed to live up to contractual obligations to cut back water use when the dam dropped to 100,000 acre-feet in 2013. For the four other agencies, ID1’s announcement came as a relief. The financial contribution of the small downstream agency was not sufficient, some said, to justify the political melodrama the friction has caused.

Farmers and ranchers recovering from the 7,500-acre Sherpa Fire have reported upward of $3 million in loses. The wind-driven wildfire, which started near Refugio Pass on 6/15, impacted seven agricultural operations on six ranches, burning avocado, grape, olive, and coffee crops and about 2,800 acres of rangeland, according to Rudy Martel, the county’s assistant agricultural commissioner.

Estimates include loss of fencing, irrigation systems, machinery, and future harvests. A newly planted avocado tree, for example, needs about five years before it produces marketable fruit. “Yes, you have immediate losses from the fire,” Martel said, “but then you’re losing future crops. That needs to be accounted for.” Firefighters fully contained the blaze on 7/11; its cause has not been released.

The council will draw money from the city’s General Fund to add $42,000 to the $60,000 it is providing. The Goleta branch is operating at a current-year deficit of more than $150,000. n

A WORLD OF SOUND: A new documentary turns up the volume on how man-made subsurface noise can harm whales and other marine mammals.

reducing the racket Sonic Sea Codirector on the Ill Effects of Underwater Noise

E

by k e i t h h a m m fforts to dial back dangerous underwater ocean noise won a victory earlier this month as a federal court agreed with environmentalists that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) had illegally approved the U.S. Navy’s use of high-intensity, low-frequency sonar, the pulses from which are believed to harm mating, feeding, and social and migration patterns of whales and other marine mammals.

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court’s three-judge panel on July 15 concluded that NMFS “did not give adequate protection to areas of the world’s oceans flagged by its own experts as biologically important. The result is that a meaningful proportion of the world’s marine mammal habitat is under-protected.”Among other areas, experts had recommended special protection for the Galapagos Islands, Hawai‘i’s Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, and Bermuda’s Challenger Bank.

“The [court] understood that the navy can do more to reduce the risk of its powerful long-range sonar,” according to Michael Jasny, director of the Marine Mammal Protection Project at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which filed the lawsuit in 2012. “Ignorance is no excuse for inaction where common-sense safeguards recommended by the government’s own scientists can prevent avoidable harm.”

The ruling came the day after the NRDC, joined by Jean-Michel Cousteau of Ocean Futures Society, screened its 2015 documentary Sonic Sea to a packed Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. The award-winning 60-minute film details the sources and impacts of manmade subsurface noise, beyond warship sonar. For more, The Santa Barbara Independent caught up with Daniel Hinerfeld, a content director at the NRDC and the film’s codirector.

Where did the idea for this documentary come from? The NRDC has been working

to combat ocean noise pollution for over 20 years. Jasny saw a film I made for NRDC in 2009 called Acid Test Test, about ocean acidification. He thought a film about ocean noise could raise broad awareness about the issue and help propel change. Despite being a place of wonder, the ocean is out of sight and out of mind, so documentary film is a great way to get people interested in and emotionally involved with the ocean.

At what point did you decide the subject deserved a full-blown documentary? We realized several years ago that there was a fascinating science story to tell about the way whales and other animals use and depend on sound and how we’re destroying life with all the noise we make, but also a compelling human story about the dedicated scientists and advocates who are struggling to understand and protect the ocean’s delicate acoustic habitat. Light only travels a short distance in ocean water, but sound travels five times faster in the ocean than in our atmosphere, and low-frequency sounds travel virtually unimpeded, so it’s possible to hear sounds in the ocean thousands of kilometers away.

The ocean, it turns out, is a world of sound.

Scientists know that some whales actually communicate across entire ocean basins.

Why tackle this topic rather than polluted runoff, plastic pollution, etc.? Ocean noise pollution is a serious global problem, but it’s a problem that is relatively straightforward to solve. With better policies and technologies that already exist, we can reduce the racket we’re making in the ocean quite substantially.

And the minute we stop making noise, ocean noise pollution goes away. Meanwhile, the ocean faces numerous other challenges, from acidification and warming to toxic pollution and overfishing, that are much more complicated. Reversing acidification and warming, for instance, will likely take many decades and require remaking our industrial society.

marked for stretches of De la Vina Street and Cabrillo Boulevard. These, however, were minor components to a far-ranging plan for new bicycle-friendly routes throughout the city linked with existing ones. The hope is that by making bicycle riding safe and inviting, fewer people will drive, thus reducing congestion and the intense demand on the limited number of parking spaces.

The most contentious debate centered on efforts to create an east-west bike cor-

ridor through downtown, initially on Micheltorena Street. When a Micheltorena coalition of business owners and residents learned that about 85 parking spaces would be removed, they threatened to sue, charging inadequate environmental review. City Hall crumbled, and the two sides hammered out an agreement to build it along Sola Street instead. That plan extends farther east, going all the way to Laguna Street.

Plans for a similar bicycle boulevard along Chino Street elicited vocal opposition from a handful of Westside residents.

They festooned the neighborhood with loud signs and flooded media and City Hall with emails, arguing proper notice hadn’t been given and the new bike boulevard would hamper emergency evacuations. They waged their final hurrah this Tuesday but, for all their effort, didn’t pick up a vote. The plan makes Chino and Gillespie a pair of one-way streets and, in response to neighborhood concern, was modified so no on-street parking will be removed. The Chino Street plan was adopted to get cyclists off San Andres Street, known to be hazardous to bike riders.

Chino also runs from Mission to Carrillo streets, longer than any parallel street in the neighborhood.

The plan creates a bike lane along several blocks of East Cota Street at the cost of several on-street parking spaces. De la Vina will be narrowed from two lanes to one between Carrillo and Haley to make room for a bike lane. The same will happen between Constance and Padre. Though councilmembers Rowse and Frank Hotchkiss expressed doubts, Hotchkiss was willing to go along with this. If it didn’t work out, Mayor Schneider noted, the streets could always be re-striped the way they currently are. “It’s paint. If it doesn’t work, it can be fixed,” she said.

The whole plan will cost millions of dollars City Hall does not have. For much of the plan to become real, the city will need to secure a statewide grant it just applied for. The soonest that grant money would become available is 2021. n

Ocean noise is likely driving some species of whales toward extinction and making it much harder for many other species to prosper. We still know very little about it, and its ramifications are probably worse than we know. But there’s no question that acidification, warming, and overfishing are the biggest threats to life in the ocean.

How do we reduce the racket? Better designs can reduce noise from shipping by 90 percent. That’s huge. And thanks to NRDC’s advocacy in the courts, the U.S. Navy is finally beginning to address the harm its sonar and explosives training and

Kick the habit.

by N i c k W e l s h fter 18 months of protracted civic engagement and sometimes bitter dispute, Santa Barbara’s City Council voted 6-1 on Tuesday to approve an ambitious new Bicycle Master Plan that looks vastly different than the one initially proposed. “This is about as cooked as it’s going to get,” said Councilmember Gregg Hart in a futile attempt to persuade dissenting Councilmember Randy Rowse to make the vote unanimous. Mayor Helene Schneider joined in, suggesting to Rowse, “I wouldn’t let the perfect get in the way of the good.”

Despite such entreaties, Rowse would not budge, objecting to the “road diet”—reduced car lanes to create space for bike lanes—ear-

Vote

clinton clinches dem Nomination Daraka Larimore-Hall, chair of the Santa Barbara County Democratic Party — the leaders of which almost entirely support Hillary Clinton — was among the 39 percent of delegates to cast a vote this week in Philadelphia for Bernie Sanders.

Larimore-Hall is quick to balance his support for the Vermont senator with passion for the party’s platform, which he described as making “huge gains” in the weeks before Sanders endorsed Clinton, who clinched the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.

“I wish some of my Sanders folks were more celebratory,” he said Monday, acknowledging the incessant booing at the mere mention of Clinton’s name. At a convention nominating her for president of the United States, Larimore-Hall said flatly, “Her name is going to be mentioned.” Susan Rose, former county supervisor and a Clinton delegate, was the only other delegate from Santa Barbara; five came from San Luis Obispo.

The recent resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as head of the Democratic National Committee — because of thousands of leaked emails suggesting DNC staffers, who are supposed to remain neutral, actively favored Clinton — contributed to an atmosphere that was far more contentious than in 2012, Larimore-Hall said. “A lot of people here who are new to politics see this as an end-of-the-world scenario,” he said. As for the scene at the convention, Larimore-Hall said the nearby hotel Californians used was nice, though absurdly expensive: $700 a night.

Asked about the possibility the hacked emails were the work of the Russian government, Giovanni Vigna, a UCSB computer science professor and a guru in web security, said such findings by intelligence agencies are probably accurate, but “it’s impossible to say with certainty.” He noted, “There are a lot of Russian people, [and] — Kelsey Brugger it’s easy to pretend to be Russian.”

Vandenberg shoots Wide

cou rtesy

A 2002 push by President George W. Bush to fast-track countermeasures against attacks from rogue states — namely Iran and North Korea — has produced an unreliable missile-defense system at Vandenberg Air Force Base, according to a recent report by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Vandenberg is home to four underground silos designed to launch interceptor missiles against incoming enemy warheads, “like hitting a bullet with a bullet,” said Laura Grego, a Caltech-trained physicist and one of the report’s three authors. Of the seven tests conducted from Vandenberg since 2006, three interceptors failed to hit their mark and another resulted in a “glancing blow,” which the report tallied as a failure. Of the 17 tests conducted — other launch sites include Alaska’s Kodiak Island and the Marshall Islands’ Kwajalein Atoll — about half have failed. “The test record is really quite poor,” Grego said. “They’re not very effective. Nevertheless, they keep building them.” A big part of the problem, added Grego, is that Bush’s directive to expedite operations exempted the program from the oversight and accountability typically required of major military systems.

“Nearly 15 years of this approach has led to an expensive and poorly performing system,” said Grego. The report estimates its overall price tag at $40 billion, based on information from the Government Accountability Office.

Established by the National Missile Defense Act of 1999, the Missile Defense Agency’s mandate was to get the program up and running “as soon as was technologically possible,” said Chris Johnson, the agency’s director of public affairs. “This rapid deployment requirement was a driving factor in delivering a ground-based interceptor capability with reliability challenges.” Those challenges have since influenced improvements in design and development, he added. “We continue to lower our program risks.”

While no new silos are planned for Vandenberg, Alaska’s Fort Greely will have an additional 14 online by the end of 2017, bumping its total number to 44, Johnson said. The four silos at Vandenberg will cost $11.5 million this fiscal year to maintain, — Keith Hamm he added.

suicide by cop?

fr a n k cowa n / Santa M ar ia tiMeS

Last Wednesday morning, Santa Maria police officers fired multiple gunshots at a man holding a knife to his throat, after they said they exhausted nonlethal means. For more than a half hour on Broadway Street, officers negotiated with 31-year-old Javier Gaona, who shouted to officers to kill him. Police first deployed several rounds of beanbag shotguns, but they used lethal force after he appeared to lunge at them.

At a time when outrage over use of police force has strained community relations, Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph KNIFE VS. GUN: Javier Gaona, 31, was shot Martin told reporters last week officers and killed by Santa Maria police. always want to use the least amount of force but in this case, they exhausted their options. Martin said Gaona showed signs of mental illness, but his grieving family disputed that in a TV interview with KSBY, a Central Coast affiliate of NBC. Gaona had been arrested six times for minor offenses, all but once in Santa Maria.

KSBY caught the entire event on tape but chose not to air the actual shooting “due to the graphic nature of the video,” said president and general manager Kathleen Choal.

She said KSBY anticipates a formal request from police to turn over the raw footage but has not yet received a subpoena. She added KSBY would not be willing to provide the recording before a court hearing.

At the scene, a crowd of 20 or so looky-loos gathered, some chastising police. In the blogosphere, a video of part of the incident captured by James Jepsen prompted impassioned remarks from a number of community members. County Supervisor Steve Lavagnino — who has been outspokenly anguished about the recent surge of violence in his hometown of Santa Maria — wrote on Facebook that the man appeared to be “hell bent on killing himself. … I feel terribly for the man and his family… Let’s all pray for peace and the safety of those who risk their lives protecting us.” — Kelsey Brugger

Barking in the Key of G

SEEING R.E.D.: The big news in the whole racegender thing is not that the first woman has been nominated by one of the two major par-

ties to run for president, or even that she’s likely to win. The real news is that the City of Santa Barbara has just hired its first female chief of police, snagging Lori Luhnow — by all reckoning a certified rock star — from the City of San Diego. To the extent Luhnow cracked any glass ceiling, she’s quick to downplay the glass shards in her hair. “I’ve been a female my whole life,” she pointed out to Santa Barbara Independent News Editor Tyler Hayden last week, subliminally clarifying — I’m guessing — that she’s not transgender.

Given the all but irresistible vortex of Santa Barbara’s matriarchal tradition, Luhnow’s appointment almost seems a “what took you so long” moment. Except for one very brief and bungled male asterisk, all Santa Barbara mayors since the 1970s have been of the XX chromosomal persuasion. We’ve had a woman in Congress, a woman UCSB chancellor, a woman public school superintendent, a woman state assemblymember and senator — same person — a woman county CEO, a woman city administrator, two women district attorneys, and two more at the helm at City College. It’s worth noting that the three most influential media moguls in Santa Barbara are all women — Marianne Partridge of The Independent, Wendy McCaw of the News-Press, and Sara Miller McCune of pretty much everything else.

In today’s context, Luhnow’s “historic” appointment might seem beside the point had a Santa Barbara jury not ordered the City of Santa Barbara to pay $3.2 million to two female officers in 2002 who charged that the department’s promotion process was rigged in favor of the good old boys. Even by today’s standards, that’s a lot. Back then, it was, well, historic. Right before that trial started, the department promoted its very first female officer ever to the rank of sergeant. The timing was hardly coincidental. That she also happened to be one of the two plaintiffs was both embarrassing and desperate. One might think in the intervening 14 years of pseudoenlightened promotion policies, the picture might have changed. If so, only by a few microns. Until Luhnow’s appointment, only three women officers have been promoted to positions of leadership within the PD. And one of those — a sergeant — cofiled the sexdiscrimination lawsuit.

The big discussion overwhelming the nation now, however, is police use of force and race. There are the stories of Freddie Gray, the black man who had his spine nearly severed by the careening violence of his final paddywagon joy ride, courtesy of Baltimore’s finest.

Conversely, there are the five officers in Dallas shot and killed by a racist sniper intent on killing white cops. Black Lives Matter. So, too, do Blue Lives. The point isn’t which side can scream louder. It’s to hear what’s being said

underneath all the shouting. And for that, one has to listen. In this regard, it appears Luhnow’s ears are not choked with waxy buildup; she’s actively tuning in. She talks of cops being “guardians,” not warriors. She also talks of training law enforcement to check any “Implicit Bias” at the door. In law enforcement circles,“Implicit Bias” has emerged as the new buzzword du jour, as “community policing” was 15 years ago. But behind the touchyfeely verbiage, there lurk some hard, cold, and cruel facts that demonstrate Santa Barbara’s wheels of justice are far from color-blind about who they happen to grind up.

Santa Barbara County’s Probation Department got on the “Implicit Bias” bandwagon a couple of years ago, hiring the W. Haywood Burns Institute to do a top-to-bottom

assessment to determine who got tossed into juvenile detention, for what offenses, and why. The Burns report irrefutably demonstrates that “Racial and Ethnic Disparities” — known in bureaucratic lingo as RED — are alive and well in Santa Barbara. It also shows the problem is rooted throughout the whole criminal justice system, not just police departments. It does, however, start with them. Although black kids make up only 1.3 percent of Santa Barbara County’s youth population, it turns out they make up 4 percent of those arrested and 6 percent of those put in “secure facilities.” Latinos make up 62 percent of the youth population but 69 percent of the arrests and 76 percent of those incarcerated.

Not all kids arrested get put in“secure detention.” Some are lucky enough to be diverted.

White kids, it turns out, are disproportionately more likely to be “diverted” than their black and Latino counterparts. Fifty-five percent of all kids in secure detention have been popped for technical administrative offenses like failure to appear as opposed to a criminal offense. But when you look at youth of color, the number is 83 percent.

Now let’s look at something dumb and simple — possession of pot. Nearly 52 percent of all white kids busted for pot possession are diverted into other programs, meaning they’re not locked up. By contrast, only 48 percent of Latino kids are — remember they make up 62 percent of the youth population — and only 16 percent of black kids are so fortunate.

Finally, let’s look at formal probation. Latino kids are put on formal probation at nearly twice the rate as whites; for black kids, it’s more than five times. Formal probation means you could be stopped, frisked, and searched at any time.

And if you screw up, the consequences are serious. Looking at the length of time required to complete probation, the racial disparities are, again, inescapable. In 2014, the average white kid successfully completed probation in 602 days.

The average Latino, however, was on the hook for 734 days, and the average black kid took 878.

The Big News is not that Santa Barbara has its first woman chief. Instead, it’s that the new chief talks seriously about dealing with“Implicit Bias.” The even bigger news is that she’ll be taking a cold, hard look at these cold, hard numbers.

Rory Steven Willett 01/17/50-07/14/16

Rory Steven Willett, 66, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at The Serenity House in Santa Barbara, CA, on July 14, 2016.

Born in Ventura, CA, on January 17, 1950, he is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Barbara Ann, his son Justin Willett (Mandy) of Solvang and his daughter Lisa Fry (Joel) of Vacaville. He leaves behind his brother Michael Willett of Ojai, sisters Rochelle Kempf (John) of Oxnard and Lori Goudeau (Paul) of Santa Maria; his six grandchildren Steven Willett (Lauren) of Ojai, Victoria and Tristan Willett of Grafton, WV, Clay and Maxine Willett of Solvang and Everett Fry of Vacaville, and his three great-grandchildren Juno, Caleb, and Arya Willett of Ojai. He is preceded in death by his parents, Bayard and Melva Willett, his brother Patrick Willett, and his first-born son, Jeffrey Willett.

His youth was spent in the serene Ojai Valley, spending most of his childhood hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, running through the orange groves, and surfing at the Rincon. He played tennis, basketball, football, baseball, boxing, and golf. He tried to stay out of trouble, but with two older brothers, that was almost impossible! His love of sports led him to a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, where he met the love of his life, Barbara. They moved back to CA, deciding to make a home in Santa Barbara in 1978, and raised their family in both Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. He was most proud of his son and daughter, who became gifted athletes themselves in the sports of golf and basketball leading to athletic scholarships from the University of the Pacific and University of California Santa Barbara, respectively.

As a co-owner of Village Pool Supply, Inc. since 1980, he enjoyed many years of getting to know his loyal customers and always had the gift of gab.

An avid golfer for most of his life, and most recently a Men’s Club member of The Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort in Solvang, CA, he spent many wonderful hours enjoying the outdoors.

He was a member of the Sandpiper Men’s Club for over 10 years, teaching all of his family to golf, and thoroughly enjoyed his many rounds of golf, playing both competitively and socially. “The Willett Open” occurred on numerous occasions and was followed by a weekend for extended family fun. He enjoyed many family vacations traveling as far as Barbados, Australia, Costa Rica, England, and 16

He was a classic car enthusiast and enjoyed many hours of revving the motor of his ’66 Chevy. His sense of adventure was loved by all!

Anyone who knew Rory well enjoyed his great sense of humor and his ability to reach out and make anyone smile. He was outgoing and was often concerned with making the world a better place. He always felt fortunate being a business owner, which allowed him flexibility with family and sports but also the ability to help his employees when a need arose. He was so grateful to have had so many good friends and employees who were a tremendous support during the past few years. He loved Santa Barbara for all its beauty, and he had quite a competitive spirit. He never gave up, and he was always cheering for the underdog!

His family would like to thank Dr. Jon Uyesaka and his competent, sincere, and caring staff, Hospice of Santa Barbara, Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care, The Serenity House, and The Cancer Center of Santa Barbara for all their advice and emotional support throughout his lengthy illness. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please send donations to Hospice of Santa Barbara or The Serenity House.

true vocation, you see, was to get at the truth and essence of every person he came into contact with. Everything a person did meant something to him, it was all telling. He closely studied the human heart.

Guillermo never felt obliged to follow rules or meet anyone’s expectations. There was and is only one authority he acknowledged and honored, that of his Savior, his teacher, his best friend, his guide, Jesus Christ.

Guillermo knew that he fell short in many ways, as we all do, and he knew that Jesus loved him anyway, constantly. He shared that love with all of his being. Guillermo desired nothing so much as reunion with God. Guillermo is preceded in death by his mother, Dolores, his two brothers, Jess and Victor, and his nephew Jess Jr. He has family remaining here on earth who miss and love him: his father, Victor; daughter, Dolores Zoila Daniel; granddaughters, Dominique and Isabelle; lifelong friend, Martha Sadler; former wife, Lydia Daniel; sisters Veita, Irene and Stella Daniel (Ruben), and Delena Jo Romero (Sal); 11 nieces and nephews, and his beloved great-nephew Aiden Vazquez.

Please join us at Garcia's mortuary, 629 A Street in Oxnard, on Sunday, July 31, at 1:00 p.m. to celebrate Guillermo's life and share memories of him.

Guillermo Hector Daniel was born to Dolores Gandarilla Daniel and Victor Hurtado Daniel on January 20, 1950. He left us on July 17th, 2016. Guillermo (aka Billy) was an artist who created gorgeously detailed leather artwork using only a magnifying glass and the light of the sun.

He carved wood, used pencils, pens, tattoo machines — whatever he had at hand when inspiration struck.

Though he never referred to himself as a poet, anyone who ever had a conversation or received a letter from him knows that he spun words into gold.

Guillermo was one of the most authentic people to walk the earth.

You would have recognized him by his slow, deliberate stride and the dime in his ear. He preferred sleeping beneath the night sky to paying a mortgage. He would rather make a true enemy than have a fake friend. He greeted each individual he encountered with sincere interest. He also tested people’s patience like it was his full-time job, poking and prodding metaphorically and literally. His

Dr. Gretchen Fall Burnett, 76, of Carpinteria, passed away following a brief illness on March 22, 2016, with family by her side. She was born March 5, 1940, to Mart Robert and Edna Marie Swanson Fall of Seattle. She attended Queen Anne High School and the University of Washington. In 1968, Gretchen married Henry Bowen Burnett, Jr. and moved with him to Marina del Rey, California, where she became an accomplished potter, a craft for which she later became well-known in Santa Barbara. The couple eventually made their home in Montecito, where they lived for 20 years. Gretchen returned to school and earned her doctorate in psychology from the University of California at Santa Barbara. She built a successful practice in Santa Barbara as a psychotherapist, where her clients thrived under her compassionate care.

After Hank’s death in 1989, Gretchen moved to Carpinteria, where she quickly fell in love with the community. She was a volunteer with Friends of the Carpinteria Library, as well as an avid student of Spanish and tai chi. In 2014, Gretchen retired from practice and spent time traveling with friends and visiting family on the East

Coast. Gretchen was known for her generous good nature, high spirits, and her compassion for others. She was loved by all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.

Gretchen is survived by her beloved niece Lisa Fall Toler; her aunt, Mina Fall; four Fall cousins: Mina J., Lisa, David, and Stephen; her stepchildren Whiteley Burnett Wheeler, Alicia Adams Burnett, and William Nicholas Burnett II (Nick); brothers-in-law Dr. Bruce Burnett and David Burnett; six step-grandchildren, 12 nieces and nephews, and 24 grand-nieces and nephews. Gretchen was predeceased by her husband, her parents, and her brother, Daniel Fall of Laguna Niguel, California.

discomfort of his illness grew. David never complained of hardship or hurt; he was a fighter to the end. Our hearts ache for his presence; he will be greatly missed.

A Memorial Service followed by a reception will be Saturday, July 30, at 2:00 pm at the First Christian Church of Santa Barbara, 1915 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara. All are welcome.

David Louis Sever

Our beloved David passed peacefully into the arms of His loving Heavenly Father on Wednesday, July 20 (age 86 years), surrounded by his loved ones. David was a loving husband, father, grand/great-grandfather, son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to many. He was a gifted engineer, mechanic, craftsman, and gardener.

Born second of five children to Louis and Mabel Sever in Los Angeles and raised in Lynwood, CA, David served in Japan during the Korean War as a 1st Lieutenant. He married his dear wife, Velora, (Lorrie) in 1955, and then graduated from USC, after which he and Velora moved to Santa Barbara in 1959. David enjoyed 37 years as a mechanical engineer, 34 of those for EG&G in Goleta. His engineering career and travel with his wife, Velora, took him to many places, in the U.S. and abroad, all of which he enjoyed.

David loved the Lord and was active in the First Christian Church of Santa Barbara since 1959, serving in many roles, including Moderator.

A Sea Scout himself, he actively mentored his son, Craig, and other boys in YMCA Gray Y, and the Boy Scouts and loved camping with his family in the Sierras.

David is survived by his wife, Velora, with whom he enjoyed nearly 61 years of marriage, son Craig (Margie), daughter Tara (Dave), granddaughter Mandi (Jared), grandsons Nate, Ryan (Sarah), Aaron and Ben, and great-grandchildren Kaleb, Savanah, and Reed.

David lived and led by example; he was steadfast and strong, gentle and kind, firm in his convictions, always thoughtful of others, and loved his dear wife, Velora, and family greatly. David enjoyed life and looked forward to each day and was always friendly and considerate of those around him, even when the pain and

End-of-Life Clarity

S

ome clarification may assist in understanding the positions of Sansum Clinic and the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara in the complicated terrain explored in “Sansum Agrees to Assisted Suicide” [independent. com/assistedsuicide] about the California End of Life Option Act. The act allows certain California residents with a terminal illness to self-administer a lethal dose of medication; the law mandates that patients and their doctors follow very strict procedures and complete very specific documentation. The statute also provides that a health-care institution may prohibit its employees from providing these services, which a number of organizations in this community have indicated they will do.

Sansum and the Cancer Center have chosen not to prohibit our physicians from providing the care authorized by the law. Each of our individual health-care providers will decide, on their own, whether or not to participate in end-of-life care; however, our institutions will not prevent willing providers from offering these services to terminally ill patients.

We remain dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to patients who suffer from terminal illnesses. Our providers have extensive expertise and experience in pain and symptom management. We offer to patients and families both financial and emotional counseling, all free of charge. We also work hard to coordinate our care with home-care agencies. We have not altered that philosophy. We want to honor the law that our Legislature enacted and that our governor signed. But it will be our goal to provide a high level of comfort for all our patients so that the provisions of this new end-of-life statute will be rarely utilized in our community. — Marjorie Newman,

Unjustified Rentals

I

t is puzzling how anyone can justify short-term rentals considering the lack of available and affordable housing for those of us struggling to keep a roof over our heads.

The reality of the vacation rental market, contrary to what last week’s news brief [independent.com/ defendsSTRs] stated, is that it has a definite negative impact on the long-term rental market; ask anyone who rents here. I stumbled upon a Summerland vacation rental website and was shocked to see at least 30 listings in this tiny community. More upsetting was that a dozen of them had been long-term rentals just a couple years ago. One only need search Craigslist to see the amount of apartments converted to vacation rentals, cleverly listed at what sounds like a very low price, and “tastefully decorated,” until you realize that the price is per week, not per month.

If we want to have employees to do the work, pay the taxes, and conduct business in our city, we need housing for them. We live here, participate in our community, and spend money here 24/7; tourists are hitand-miss. The high-rent apartments now being built will do little to fix our needs. Short-term rentals need to be highly regulated and illegal when they could house working people. Rent control was necessary two decades ago. Bring it on!

POLITRICKS: Watching a political conven-

tion is like tuning in to a baseball game when you already know the final score.

For the worst part of two weeks, it’s been TV Fright Night. We’ve suffered through vile personal attacks on two people, one of whom will be leading The Greatest Nation on Earth or, as Donald Trump puts it, a country that used to be great.

Just what year, if any, we lost greatness he has not yet revealed.

Trump’s wife, “Slovakian eye candy,” as the amusing Calbuzz website calls her, told a TV audience of 40 million,“If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you he is the guy.”

Well, he’s also the guy who passed up his chance to really fight for the red, white, and blue by getting four (count ’em) draft deferments. But don’t blame Melania for that.

Someone else wrote the speech, at least the plagiarist part where stuff was lifted from Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech.

the Golden State is going for the Demo candidate. Years ago, the Republicans were the chosen people, but that’s all over. And that’s politics, folks.

As a result, the Republicans assigned the California delegation to a hotel so far outside Cleveland that it takes email two days to get there. By the way, who’s to blame for both parties holding back-to-back presidential conventions in boring flyover cities?

The biggest news came the last day of the GOP convention. Roger Ailes, the man largely responsible for the conservative resurgence and arguably for Trump’s spectacular rise, was finally ousted at Fox News.

What decades of complaints about Fox bias couldn’t accomplish a sexual harassment suit by former anchor Gretchen Carlson did.

Ailes will get a huge golden parachute, reported to be $40 million. The question is, after Ailes ruled Fox News for 20 years, should one nonelected person wield so much unrestrained power over national affairs for so long? After all, even presidents only get eight years at most.

So now we have to wade through threeplus months of fearmongering and factchecking for the political World Series in November. Look, can’t we just do it now? And please, for future political infomercials — I mean conventions — no more double-headers. I can’t take it. —Barney Brantingham

Leader of the nation Cover StorY

K

enneth Kahn is the kind of guy women

swoon over and men envy. Young, handsome, and ponytailed, he drives a Tesla and rides any bike with two wheels. To call him a smooth talker would be an understatement.

His charm appears to be a natural gift. And now he is the leader of a sovereign nation.

Three months ago, Kahn, 39, was elected chair of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. For at least 5,000 years, Chumash lived in populous villages throughout the Central Coast and Channel Islands. During the Spanish-Mexican era, however, European diseases, the Mission systems, and racial violence decimated their numbers.

In 1901, the federal government recognized the Santa Ynez Band as an official Native American nation, putting it under control of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and giving it sovereign rights over its 144-acre reservation along Highway 246. Today, even though other groups claim to be Chumash, only the Santa Ynez Band has federal status. Though the tribe has not released exact numbers, it is estimated that around 140 people meet the Band’s required one-quarter Chumash blood ancestry to become registered members.

Throughout the last century, life on the reservation was one of abject poverty. Houses went without electricity until the 1970s. Many Chumash worked on nearby farms and ranches, sent their kids to public schools, and generally kept a low profile in the greater Santa Ynez Valley community.

That all changed at the millennium, when California voted to allow federally recognized tribes to establish Indian Casinos in exchange for licensing fees. After a few missteps, the Chumash Casino became one of the most successful in the state. Now each tribal member receives an undisclosed monthly dividend — in 2004 the Los Angeles Times reported it was around $30,000 per member.

Leading the tribe for the past 17 years was Vincent Armenta, 53, who unexpectedly resigned in March. Under his leadership, the tribe’s enterprises transformed a downtrodden bingo hall into a spectacularly successful operation, including a new 12-story resort, nearby restaurants and hotels, and a music venue attracting world-class performers.

As the tribe’s financial situation improved, however, tensions with their Santa Ynez Valley neighbors arose. First, opponents railed against the casino. Then outrage erupted over the 12-story hotel project, the largest building in the county. Now the battleground is over the tribe’s annexation plans for the 1,400 acres known as Camp 4 near to the present reservation. The Chumash purchased the bucolic land in 2010 from the late Fess Parker for $40 million. He sold it because rigorous county zoning codes prohibited intense development.

by Kelsey Brugger

Three years ago, the tribe petitioned the U.S. government to annex that land into their reservation. If the tribe is successful, as they are confident they ultimately will be, Camp 4 will no longer be regulated by county codes or provide county property taxes. The tribe argues they desperately need Camp 4 for 143 houses, as there are only 99 houses on the reservation, half of which are inhabited by tribal elders. The nonnative valley residents contend that such dense urbanization would destroy the rural character of the Santa Ynez Valley. Nine appeals — one by Santa Barbara County — have been filed with the Bureau of Indian Affairs protesting the annexation.

In debating this issue before the county recently, Armenta, whose style was bristly and bold, accused the supervisors of bringing the Chumash to the “watering hole” for a discussion, but “if we don’t drink the poisoned water,” he contended, the county would “shoot us in the back of the head when we leave.”

Into this tension comes the new chair, Kahn, who has spent the last 14 years working in tribal government. At age

25, he was elected to the Chumash Business Committee, the tribe’s five-member governing body.

Raised on the reservation by his single mother, Kahn is a member of the Pace family, who have a long tradition of being active in tribal life. As a boy, he was greatly influenced by his maternal grandparents, who lived nearby. He began working for the tribe at age 14, shining floors and scrubbing toilets. His grandmother, Rosa Pace, who died last year, founded the Chumash health clinic in 1974 in a small trailer. The clinic now handles 17,000 patients’ visits each year, including low-income nonnative people.

For years, Kahn has been the friendly face of the Chumash, showing up at public events, sometimes with a check — the tribe gives $1 million each year to area nonprofits and organizations. He’s a self-described communicator, and many believe that if anyone can smooth relations with the county government and valley residents, it is Kahn.

It is a tough row to hoe, however. The county wants the tribe to waive its sovereign immunity, which has proved difficult, but the tribe also knows it must be part of the community where its children go to school and its families interact with other valley residents.

For 10 years, the county had refused to meet with Chumash leaders as equal members of two governmental bodies.

Last year, county supervisors Doreen Farr and Peter Adam finally agreed to sit down with Armenta and Kahn in a series of seven public hearings over Camp 4. No deal was reached, and the atmosphere was not pleasant.

The Santa Barbara Independent recently sat down with Kahn. Below is an edited version of the conversation.

How do you think you compare to former chair Vincent Armenta? It’s still too early to tell. During chairman Armenta’s years, we’ve seen a lot of positive growth — with education particularly. We’ve developed our language dictionary, which has empowered us to teach our youth our language. I see the pride that our people have in being Chumash, and I want to support them as best I can.

I’m going to be firm on issues, and I’m going to be passionate — as chairman Armenta was.

And I have more hair than he does, and I can golf a lot better.

But I wasn’t really exposed to that, so when I would get that treatment from parents — and sometimes it trickled down to the kids — I didn’t really get it.

“Oh, I can’t come over? Fine, no big deal.”

of the earliest memories I have are at age 6 or 7 at the old Tribal Hall. I remember the big semitrucks coming down, and the rolling casters of boxes of beans and rice. We would come together and help sort and take our boxes home. There was evaporated milk, canned beef, blocks of cheese — that is probably one of the fondest memories. Any Native American that has grown up on a reservation — they’re going to remember the government cheese.

So these slights never bothered you? I did have one incident

when my high school girlfriend — her parents didn’t want her dating me because I was from the reservation.

Her father was a fire battalion chief, and her mother was very well respected in the community. She really resisted them, and they ended up moving her to a different school. I was 16 or 17, and of course I was devastated. My heart was broken. It was my first girlfriend, and she loved me and was beautiful and smart. It was devastating as a teen in love.

mother, Rosa Pace, was a nurse. She was also the founder of the health clinic.

I have early memories of the clinic when it was a single white trailer with volunteer doctors. I was a little kid crawling around under the desk, and I can still smell the mustiness from the carpet because it was a donated trailer with donated furniture.

I would travel around with grandma and grandpa to different reservations. Back then it wasn’t by plane.

It was grandpa and grandma driving their station wagon, having to stop and put water in their radiator so we could make it without overheating.

SCHOOLED: Kahn discussed the tribe’s recent education advancements, including that the number of adults earning degrees — bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral — has tripled. Further, Kahn said, 97 percent of Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians students graduated from high school — higher than the statewide graduation rate for Native American students, which is 73.1 percent.

Dr. Niki Sandoval is our education director and is also on the State Board of Education. Having her as a resource to guide the tribe’s educational needs is important. All of what’s created today really stems from the experiences of the tribe early on.

What are some misconceptions about the tribe? People are being told, “Well the tribe doesn’t have to follow the law.” But we do. We just don’t have the exact same oversight of those laws. And there’s tribal law.

Some people say,“Well you guys can make that up as you go.”Well this is a direct democracy at its core, so when it comes to any of our initiatives or laws, the people have a strong voice, and it’s in collaboration with federal guidelines.

Going back to my childhood, people said, “The tribe is a third-world country; there’s no law enforcement.” That’s false. Public Law 280 has given the state criminal jurisdiction over tribes. [In the past sometimes] law enforcement would refuse to service the reservation because we didn’t have the money to pay for those services. Today, we have contracts. We pay more per capita than any other contracted city around — Buellton, Solvang.

How about the issue of taxes? It’s hard when you have elected leaders

saying that the tribe doesn’t pay taxes.

A majority of our members live off the reservation and pay the exact same taxes everyone else does. I live on the reservation. I pay property taxes because I own property off the reservation in Santa Barbara County [and on a property in Tahoe]. I pay all the other taxes that everyone else does. The only thing I don’t pay is state income tax. The tribe, with its gaming agreement, shares revenue with the state. Even though it’s not a tax, the tribe is paying on behalf of its membership.

The tribe’s profits have grown immensely since you were a kid, and now tribal members receive dividends, I’ve heard as much as $50,000 a month. Is that accurate? How does it work? Yeah, the tribe has some resources, and, yes, the tribal members receive a stipend, and that is really governed by having a fully funded government. The way it works is that the tribe has to fund all its programs, all its government — a number of programs that have to be 100 percent funded. Once those programs are funded, we can have a dividend. The better we perform, the bigger we can grow our programs, and the more we can give dividends. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Secretary of the Interior regulate the dividend. That way, there aren’t tribes that just give all their money to their members and can’t provide services.

PASTORAL LAND: The tribe’s plans to annex the 1,400-acre land known as Camp 4 has been the source of bitterness between tribal leaders and some valley residents because that would open the door to development not governed by rigorous county codes.

Do you run into a lot of comments like, “They don’t have to work and they get money”? I do. I run into it a lot. If we’re referencing drug use or any other kinds of negative interpretation of a community member — yeah, we have a couple members who have challenges. We do our best to support them. But that’s not something I’d really want to highlight because that’s just a normal community. You function with high achievers, low achievers, and middle achievers … some that just drag the system down — not purposely, but they just weren’t given the right resources growing up to contribute. That’s what some of our opposition focuses on. montecito.bank • (805) 963-7511 Solvang • Goleta • Santa Barbara • Montecito Carpinteria • Ventura • Camarillo • Westlake Village

One argument I hear sometimes is that your tribal members are not really Indians. Do you still hear that? I still hear that. They say Vincent Armenta is a Mexican. You know, I’m Mexican. I’m a lot of different things. I’m three-eighths Chumash. I’m also from Santa Rosa Chumash [not a federally recognized band]. I identify with a number of nationalities and am proud of it. There is nobody who is 100 percent Chumash that I know of.

Since the current blood requirement is one-quarter Chumash, that is of course dwindling membership. Since only the tribe can make that decision, is the tribe going to have to expand membership? Absolutely. That’s a discussion that we have regularly. We will need to expand our membership. And we will. That’s a tribal decision.

Let’s talk about Camp 4. What is your vision for it? We want it to look like the neighboring community. We would like to stay within a 300-acre envelop— plus or minus a couple of acres, which would be one- or two-acre parcels. We’re thinking of a planned community with low impact — something that we can be proud of. We have a blank piece of paper, so it’s an opportunity to create something really special.

During the public meetings earlier this year, Supervisor Peter Adam asked then-chair Armenta for the tribe’s 100-year plan. The plan presented in March upset many people in the audience because the map had a lot more commercial area than the tribe previously said they planned.

What happened there? We were extremely upset with this 100-year plan he was asking for—so upset that we finally said fine. We threw some color on a piece of paper. Let’s give them what they want. And now they are using it as a …“See, this is what the tribe intends to do with this land tomorrow.” But we said, “No. No. No. You asked for a [100-year plan]. The county doesn’t have a 100-year plan; why should the tribe have to do a 100-year plan? ” How are the negotiations going to go when they start back up again later this year? I don’t want people to forget we’re here, not because the county wants to be here, but we had to go around through a congressional committee to push the county to the table. I think that’s an important thing because it shows the good will of the tribe in wanting to make an agreement. We need to have something to protect us once this land goes into federal trust because we’re a community and our strength lies in being able to function as a community.

A recent op-ed, “What Have the Chumash Negotiations Wrought?,” suggested that the tribe always changes its mind. For instance, the casino now has a temporary permit to sell alcohol on the gaming floor, something that was never part of the original plan. The alcohol license is something we’ve worked on for a number of years. It really didn’t come along until we started aiming for the Four Diamond resort recognition. One of the key qualifiers could be wine and spirits.

The tribe takes it very seriously. That’s why we immediately raised the age [for entrance to the gaming floor] from 18 to 21 and introduced a number of programs including having conversations with the sheriff and other agencies to help mitigate those issues.

Health Education Classes

What leverage does the county have? They have absolutely none, and I say that very boldly because we have absolutely no need for a cooperation agreement. And that’s what people don’t get. I don’t have to sit with the county. I want to because it’s good for our community, and my kids and also twenty-something nieces and nephews. They don’t need to be fighting these political battles in grade school. … And that’s what’s happening — all of this is transferring to our youth. It’s ugly.

AUGUST 2016 Sansum Clinic’s unified, patient-first approach to healthcare is built around you. We provide health education programs at low or no-cost to the community. Learn more at www.SansumClinic.org

Recently, a federal bill, HR 1157, to immediately annex Camp 4 passed the House Natural Resources Committee and is set to go to a vote on the House floor. Rep. Lois Capps was the only person to vote against the legislation, which was authored by a congressmember who represents a district in Northern California. Tell me about that. [Rep. Doug LaMalfa] has multiple tribes in his district.

He understands tribal sovereignty. And he also sits on a couple boards that manage tribal resources. So we felt that he was a good person to do this because he understands. Now Lois doesn’t want to get in a fight, doesn’t want to get her hands dirty. God bless her; she’s done amazing things for health care and women’s rights. But when the job is tough, she doesn’t want to touch it. These are the kind of tactics that unfortunately the tribe has to take in order to move forward.

You have personally donated to a number of Democratic candidates, including Capps, President Obama, and Salud Carbajal, who is now running in the 24th congressional race. Will you endorse his candidacy? I don’t know if the tribe will officially endorse a candidate. We’ve had a great dialogue with Salud. He’s stated publicly that government-to-government is something he’s wanted for a long time. He’s indicated this cooperation agreement is something he wants to see. I think he’d make an amazing congressional representative. We’ve met with Justin Fareed. He was at the COLAB [Coalition of Labor Agriculture and Business] event at our facility. I haven’t had a lot of discussions with Justin Fareed. It’s kind of hard to really understand where he is coming from.

deas worth spreading” will flow freely on August 20 at the New Vic as 18 speakers tell their stories during a full-day, thoughtprovoking conference known as TEDx Santa Barbara. It’s the return of an annual program started in 2010 by tech entrepreneur Mark Sylvester and his wife, TEDx speaking coach Kymberlee Weil, who’ve collectively attended almost 40 TED events.

For the uninitiated, TED, which initially stood for “Technology, Entertainment, and Design,” started in 1984 as an annual conference of 18-minute-or-less talks in Vancouver. The all-volunteer-led format quickly spread to other major cities, launched countless viral YouTube videos, and spurred the offshoot TEDx series in 2010. “We were part of the first wave of TEDxes around the world,” said Sylvester, who hosted the TEDxAmerican Riviera by blending hometown speakers with other inspiring storytellers until 2012.

Sylvester said that this year’s 18 speakers, about a third of which are from Santa Barbara, will “talk about issues we think are not only germane to the Santa Barbara audience but important to a global audience.”

Seth Streeter of Mission Wealth, for instance, will talk about conscious investing. “That talk isn’t just about Santa Barbara,” said Sylvester. “It’s good all over the planet.”

Another hallmark of the free event, which will also be live-streamed by Citrix online, is that one must apply to attend in person. “It’s like stacking the deck,” said Sylvester of the “curation” process. “You want to make sure that the audience is the most receptive people we

can get to those ideas.” They’re looking for involved community members but also a diversity in ages and previous TED experience. The deadline to apply is July 28, but people are already coming from Canada, Barcelona, and across the United States.

Sylvester’s hope is that this will grow during the next three years into a packed house at the Granada Theatre and flags flying on State Street. He explained, “Our goal is that TEDx Santa Barbara gets treated by the community as one of those bright spots we can all be proud of.”

— Matt Kettmann TEDx Santa Barbara is on Saturday, August 20, 9 a.m.-6 p.m., at the New Vic (33 W. Victoria St.). Apply to attend via tedxsantabarbara.com by July 28, or watch for free online or at the Impact Hub (1117 State St.).

organ Visalli and Jocelyn Enevoldsen arrived at Arroyo Burro Beach early one recent Friday afternoon in high spirits, excited that the morning marine layer had finally burned off. With their bathing suits and picnic lunches in tow, the self-named duo,“MoJo,” was prepared to enjoy what they’d triumphantly marked on their calendars as their 76th beach day in a row.

With the help of a $50,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy, Mo and Jo, both graduates of UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental Science & Management, were on the tail end of a 1,200-mile walk down the California Coastal Trail. On their backs, they’ve carried their gear— gear clothes, GPS trackers, cameras, and an arsenal of batteries — for more than 875 miles.

The three-month adventure began May 1 at Pelican State Beach, just below the Oregon border. Dutifully shared on Facebook, Instagram, and their MoJo Coastwalk blog, the trip is one of approximately 40 projects behind the development of the California Coastal Conservancy’s soon-to-be Explore the Coast smartphone app, which will guide users through the cultural, biological, and historical points of interest along the trail.

The app is the newest part of a California Coastal Conservancy plan that began 28 years ago with the help of longtime activists Bill and Lucy Kortum, who walked with Mo and Jo as they passed through Bodega Bay. “We Morgan “Mo” Visalli (left) and Jocelyn “Jo” really hope that this app Enevoldsen will continue to encourage public demand for the trail’s completion,” said Jo. Currently, the Coastwalk is only halfway complete.

On a strict schedule of 12 miles a day at about two miles an hour, Mo and Jo have been planning their Coastwalk, with help from retired Coastwalk executive director Richard Nicholas, since early 2016. The trip’s been made easier by the company of their two dogs and traveling partner and van driver Alisan Amrhein, who takes care of logistics, additional equipment, and the much-raved-about pot of morning oatmeal. The two tent-camp in California state parks each night.

“We are more plugged in than we ever have been in our lives,” said Jocelyn, noting the irony of a backpacking trip so reliant on technology.

“Most of the time people go into nature to unplug, but we are geared out.”

That Friday afternoon, Mo and Jo, who were set to end their day at East Beach, expressed both excitement and sadness that they only had 20 days to go. They expected their final stop at Mexico’s border on August 4 to be a bittersweet celebration with friends, coworkers, and family members.

“We’ve seen whales breaching in the sunset, and just to see something that big in its natural environment really strikes a chord,” said Mo. “We’re able to see things that not everyone in the world gets to see.

It’s such a special experience.”

Pokémon I

Is the Balm

n a world where innocents are mowed down while dancing, and black fathers and sons are senselessly murdered by peace officers, and peace officers are senselessly murdered by military veterans, and voters roiling with toxic resentments threaten to put a hollow shell of a human in charge of the most powerful nation on Earth — well, in that world, sometimes the only thing that makes sense is to wander the streets for hours in search of imaginary cartoon animals.

At least, that’s why I began playing Pokémon Go with my son Dash last week: to escape the oppressive burden of reality by diving into the sanctuary of my cell-phone screen and hunting harmless pixel beasties.

Plus, Dash told me one of the goals of Pokémon is to help your characters “evolve”— which sounds so civilized and promising.

The summer’s hit smartphone game was downloaded more times in its first week than any other app in history and already has more users than Twitter. The game essentially deposits Pokémon characters throughout the real world. When you get near them, the creatures show up on your phone and you “capture” them by swiping your finger across the screen to fire balls at them.

That’s. Pretty much. It. And yet, the world is obsessed with this game.

“I collected the cards and watched the TV shows as a kid,” says Hannah Scott, 26. “Fast-forward 15 years, and my dream world has come true. They’re all around us! You never know which one will appear. Venture into another neighborhood, and it’s all new types! It’s like a citywide Easter-egg hunt.”

My friend Jesse Alexander, 49, likes the augmented-reality factor — how Pokémon show up in the real world at munemail: starshine@roshell.com dane locations like the alley, Starbucks, and beside his dogs. “It’s crazy how everywhere I go, I’m talking to strangers who are playing the game,” he says.“And we’re all connecting on something we have in common: instant social currency.”

Other friends love that their kids are out exploring their neighborhoods; one discovered a historic building, while another met a neighbor, and they’re now fast friends.

“It’s a win-win-win for me,” Dash, 10, tells me as he pries my iPhone out of my hand for another go at Go. “I walk the dog, I get my exercise, and I get to play a fun game. It’s an exhilarating thrill when I find a Pokémon.”

So we go downtown to try it out together. Dash helps me customize my avatar while his brother, Stone, 17, assigns me a nickname: Biiig Poopy. Dash’s is Exploding Balls. Welcome to my world.

I confess to being more enchanted by the window-shopping than the constellations of pulsing Pokémon critters lighting up my phone screen as we stroll. Not so for the surprisingly frequent clusters of teens and twenty-somethings shuffling past us, eyes glued to their screens, fingers swiping, swiping: “Ooh, I finally got a raspberry!” one girl says.

Dash is in Pokémecca as he navigates through the on-screen version of our world, carelessly stepping off very-real curbs and even completely losing the rest of our flesh-and-blood family for several disorienting minutes.

“I just caught the best Pokémon I’ve ever seen!” he says when we find him (and five other times that evening). “Mom, look, it’s beautiful. It’s a flaming pony.”

But Stone is having none of it: “This game is just about acquiring things. It’s so … American.You just keep trying to get more.”And later: “It’s the wrong message to be teaching people. It’s mass enslavement of small animals!”

“No, it isn’t,” Dash insists.“You just catch these wild animals because you want to—oh, my gosh. I just realized how bad this is. You catch them because you want to … make them fight.”

Wait, copious consumption, the end of freedom as we know it, and fighting as entertainment? Perhaps this reality isn’t so augmented after all. And damn it if evolution ain’t that easy.

Mellow Good-Bye fRoM Todd RoGeRs Santa Ynez–Based Volleyball Superstar Retires; Our Own Greek Olympian; and More

by John

 Winning the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.  Becoming the first Americans to win the FIVB World Championship in 2007 at Gstaad, Switzerland.  Winning the Manhattan Beach Open three years in a row.  “Getting off the bridesmaid schneid” in his hometown, taking the Santa Barbara tournament title in 2006 after five secondplace showings.  Winning at Klagenfurt, Austria, in a scenic alpine setting that was his favorite place to play other than Santa Barbara’s East Beach.

Rogers stood at the top of the podium for the 80th and final time in August 2014, after winning a small tournament in Varadero, Cuba, with Brunner, another former UCSB Gaucho.

There’s plenty to keep the 42-year-old Rogers, a Santa Ynez resident, busy in the future. He is a husband and father, with a daughter and son both in their teenage years. He is the coach of the Cal Poly women’s sand volleyball team. He was recently reelected to a second four-year term on the U.S.A. Volleyball Board of Directors.

Rogers said he might play in the final 2016 AVP tournament, September 1-4 at Chicago. If he could have any influence on the AVP, he’d like to see the tour return to his hometown, which last held an event in 2012.

“Santa Barbara is a fantastic fit for the sport,” he said, “but we’re a vacation city, and the AVP business model is to play in big cities where corporations are involved.”

odd Rogers, the cerebral half of the greatest men’s beach volleyball team of the 21st century, assured that his 22-year pro career would end unostentatiously.“The AVP [Association of Volleyball Professionals] talked about a Kobe Bryant tour during the season,” Rogers said. “I told them I’m not into that, and if they try it, I’ll just stop playing.”

So it was not until the last California tournament, the Manhattan Beach Open two weeks ago, that Rogers received a tribute. There were some highlights on the video-board, a recitation of his top moments by announcer Chris “Geeter” McGee, and a few words from his playing partners Dax Holdren, Phil Dalhausser, Ryan Doherty, Theo Brunner, and Stafford Slick. “It was just what I wanted,” Rogers said, “nothing over-the-top.”

It was with Holdren, a fellow San Marcos High grad, that Rogers won his first tournament at Minneapolis in 1998. He and Dalhausser teamed up in 2006 and dominated the domestic and international tours for seven years. They entered 128 tournaments, won 65, and had 102 podium finishes.

“The best move I ever made was choosing Phil,” said Rogers. “It was a tougher decision than you might think. I had won the last three tournaments [of 2005] with Sean Scott.

Phil was not the best blocker in the world at the time.” But the 69 Dalhausser, the “Thin Beast,” turned into a monster at the net with Rogers, known as “the Professor,” backing him up with heady defense and precise ball placement.

Rogers listed the highlights of his years with Dalhausser:

THE PROFESSOR: Todd Rogers (left) used his smarts in winning 80 professional beach volleyball titles.

The UCLA senior, the Pac-12 champion in the shot put and discus, had to reach the Olympic qualifying distance of 20.5 meters in the shot put, and he hit 20.61 (677 ½) at the UCSD Triton Invitational. His sister, Stamatia Scarvelis, learning a new technique at UCLA after winning three state shot-put titles at Dos Pueblos High, did not qualify for Rio. But she and her brother both represented Greece in the European Championships at Amsterdam this month.

John Zan ZanT’s Game of The Week 7/30-8/17: NFL Football: Dallas Cowboys Training Camp: Starting Saturday, more than a dozen practices will be open to the public during the Cowboys’ annual Oxnard sojourn. It’s a convenient location for their first preseason game: August 13 against the Rams at the L.A. Coliseum. Keeping quarterback Tony Romo healthy will be a priority. After Romo suffered a broken collarbone in the second game last season, the Cowboys lost their next seven games and finished 4-12. The No. 21 jersey of rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott is the NFL’s top seller. There was a tragedy on an Arizona highway last Sunday when the bus carrying some Dallas personnel (no players) on its way to Oxnard collided with a van. All four occupants of the van were killed, but there were no injuries on the bus. Sat.: Opening ceremony at 3pm, followed by practice. Sun.-Tue.: Practices at 3:45pm.

CLASSY FINALE: The Santa Barbara Foresters’ last stand

at UCSB’s Caesar Uyesaka Stadium on Sunday was an homage to Ernie (“Let’s play two”) Banks. They needed five innings to complete a suspended game against the San Luis Obispo Blues, resulting in a 5-4 win by the visitors thanks to a three-run homer in the top of the 16th.

The Foresters did not surrender, scoring twice and ending the game with the tying run on second. Bret Boswell triggered the rally with a long home run, and he went deep again in the regularly scheduled game, an emphatic 12-1 Foresters victory. They clinched the California Collegiate League Central Division pennant and will play in the league tournament at Compton this weekend before heading off to the NBC World Series at Wichita. n

FLAIR AND FRIENDS: Archie McLaren (above on the patio of his downtown pad) drove a Ferrari Daytona (above right) to Morro Bay in 1974, started the Central Coast Wine Classic in 1985, and set about making friends with famous chefs such as Julia Child.

ArChie McLAren's Indulgent lIfe

A

rchie McLaren, the Santa Barbara–residing bon vivant responsible for creating and sustaining the Central Coast Wine Classic for the past three decades, may never have stumbled into fine wine if it weren’t for smoking weed — specifically by pretending to puff on his first joint, which was rolled by a burly Black Panther in Memphis during the heat of the civil rights movement almost 50 years ago.

McLaren was hanging at the house of his good friend Russell Sugarmon, a Harvard Law–educated African American who founded the first interracial law firm in Memphis and had made paparazzi-like headlines for marrying a white German woman. An athlete his whole young life — high school tennis champ of Tennessee who won a scholarship to Vanderbilt, traveling handball wizard, etc. — McLaren never smoked, so he tried the do-notinhale trick probably around the same time as a young Bill Clinton.

It didn’t work. Minutes later, McLaren was mesmerized by the amazing smells wafting out of the kitchen, where Sugarmon’s wife was whipping up one of her fancy feasts.

“I’d never had anything more exciting than a cheese dog, but [the weed] exploded my ability to experience aroma and flavor,” recalled McLaren recently. “I had a transcendent case of the munchies that night. It changed my entire life.”

What a life it’s been. Inside McLaren’s second-floor pad above the corner of Chapala and Gutierrez streets, the walls and shelves are overloaded with athletic trophies, commendations from the world’s most prestigious orders of food and wine, posters of personal heroes like B.B. King, Elvis Presley, and John Lennon, and mementos of his proudest accomplishments. That includes not only events that he started and/or ran, such as the Central Coast Wine Classic, the World of Pinot Noir, the International Festival of Méthode Champenoise, and the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, but also his roles in a much more dire affair: his decade-long, tooth-and-nail fight

Central Coast Wine Classic Founder Reflects on Black Panthers, Avila Beach Pollution, and the Munchies

series of tastings, meals, and auctions will spread from San Luis Obispo County into the heart of Santa Barbara, where events will occur at the Santa Barbara Inn, S.B. Wine Collective, Courthouse Mural Room, Santa Barbara Club, and Pat Nesbitt’s Summerland estate, among other locations.

That’s because, after more than 40 years in S.L.O. County — and after considering a move to Lyon, France, the ancestral home to haute cuisine — McLaren moved to Santa Barbara about 18 months ago. He immediately found the community both welcoming and exciting, particularly from a food and wine perspective. “It’s vibrant here; it’s exhilarating,” said McLaren. “Within a four-block radius, there are cuisines of over a dozen cultures. You can’t do that in New York; you can’t do that in Chicago; you can’t do that in Seattle, you sure can’t do that in Lyon. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the world.”

Balls to Barrels against Big Oil, which had disastrously polluted his former hometown of Avila Beach. And most impressively to modern foodies, the high-ceilinged condo is littered with photographs of Archie mugging alongside the past century’s top gourmands, from chefs such as Paul Prudhomme, Emeril Lagasse, and Jacques Pépin to his good friends like wine critic Harvey Steiman and culinary superstar Julia Child, with whom he dined regularly.

Scattered amid it all — and yes, despite his dapper dress, he’s the first to admit his flat is a giant mess, which is one reason he’s never married — are the plans for this year’s Central Coast Wine Classic, which raises about a quarter-million dollars each year for regional nonprofits. After a hiatus last year, during which time McLaren suffered a minor stroke, the 2016 edition will be the 31st Classic. But it’s the first time the

Archie McLaren was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1942. “I moved to Memphis the next day because the music was better,” he joked. “I was right.” He excelled in school and sports thanks to multitasking and extreme focus. “I started playing tennis in the 8th grade and was state champion in the 9th,” he explained.

After riding a tennis scholarship to Vanderbilt and graduating in 1964, he taught at segregated schools in Mississippi, where he was asked to join the African-American faculty’s basketball team, which he enthusiastically accepted. When he arrived for the first game, he was the only Caucasian in the gym. “I have never felt so graciously accepted,” said McLaren, but others weren’t so happy. “I was run out of Mississippi by the Ku Klux Klan.”

He wound up back in Memphis, teaching and coaching tennis during the day at Memphis University School, pursuing a law degree at the University of Memphis at night. That’s about the time of the transcendent joint, which fired up an

But by 1977, Morro Bay grew too sleepy for his tastes, so he moved to Avila Beach, then an end-of-the-road party town full of bikers, hippies, and everything in between.

“There was no supervision of any kind,” said McLaren, who’d open his growing wine cellar during the soirées, often to his morning-after chagrin.

In 1984, the San Luis Obispo public radio station KCBX asked McLaren if he’d want to start a weekly program about wine, and he obliged, kicking off a more-than-twodecade-long run for The Wine Drinker’s Guide to Indulgence. “The demographic audience for fine wine was growing,” said McLaren. “I interviewed all these winemakers who’d never been interviewed before, because in 1985, nobody understood the subject; nobody understood how good the wines of the Central Coast were.” As such, many credit McLaren as the first in the world to loudly bang SPORTS AND SIPS: Quite the athlete, McLaren ditched tennis for handball and the drum of quality winemakquickly became a champion.

ust in time for Fiesta, Viva Santa Barbara, serving modern Mexican cuisine, is now open at 1114 State Street, the former home of Cielito, Stateside, and Acapulco.

To give you a quick bit of info on the product, instead of using traditional bread, pizza crust, or pasta, which is packed with carbohydrates, sugars, and empty calories, we have created some menu items using cauliflower-based products, which have 9g of protein and only 5g of carbs per serving. This is almost like guilt-free pizza and pasta. Guests can substitute our cauliflower crust for any personal-size pizza at no additional charge. Or you can try some of our new Fit Menu items like our Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna, Turkey and Arugula Panini, Green Goddess Grilled Cheese, or our Pesto Chicken and Goat Cheese Pizza.

All of these items would be made using Outer Aisle Cauliflower products and will have you feeling satisfied and like you just ate a delicious and nutritious meal rather than something you feel guilty about immediately. We have received a tremendous response so far and we truly believe that this is a life-changing alternative for anyone battling inflammatory disease, excessive weight gain, or just trying to get your family to eat more vegetables and less bread.” Visit pizzamizza.com and outeraislegourmet.com.

In August 2015, McLaren suffered a minor stroke, which slowed his short stature down a tad. He hasn’t smoked weed in years and barely drinks, since two glasses get him mighty buzzed. But he’s busy as ever, hosting a television program on KEYT every Sunday night at 5 p.m. and putting together the final touches on the 31st Classic.

“I’m jumping off a diving board,” said McLaren of spreading the event into Santa Barbara, which has tripled expenses.“I have no idea if it will be successful, but honestly, I don’t give a shit. In the worst of all worlds, I’m throwing a party. In the best, it’s very successful.”

No matter what happens, this year’s beneficiaries —the Boys & Girls Club (healing arts), the Hearst Castle Preservation Foundation (studio arts), and the Léni Fé Bland Foundation (performing arts) —will receive all of the auction funds, as those don’t play into the bottom line. “If it fails,” he said, “I pay for it.”

McLaren on the steps to his condo

He’s already decided that there will not be a Central Coast Wine Classic in 2017—“I need to heal,” said McLaren—and that may mean that 2016 is the last. There’s no succession plan, nor would it work without him.

“Archie has a very magnetic power that brings in a certain breed of people, and [the Classic] is a lot like a family reunion,” said his friend Yuri Gevorgian, the Los Angeles–based Armenian artist known simply as Yuroz. “There’s an atmosphere being established by the leader. He is the event.” n

The Central Coast Wine Classic runs August 10-14 at various locations. See centralcoastwineclassic .org for specifics and tickets.

Dancing fool Learning BaLLet as an aduLtLtL

paul wellman

began to understand this discipline that I had so far only watched but never tried.

I joined Diamond’s class for two reasons: one, because I’ve never taken a lesson in any dance genre but have always desired to do so, and with the school offering a series of intensive classes for adults in the first week of August, it seemed like a good time; and, two, as The Santa Barbara Independent’ Independent’s arts editor, I thought it made sense to get a rudimentary understanding of what dancers endure for their craft. I recruited a coworker, and the two of us signed up for Diamond’s adult beginners class.

The only equipment requirement was a pair of ballet slippers, which I purchased at Payless ShoeSource. We arrived at the Montecito School of Ballet, the studio in which ADM holds its classes, and tentatively joined the other grown-ups in free-form, pre-class stretching. Folks of various ages and degrees of experience filed in, and soon Diamond began the hour-and-a-half session. A kind and patient teacher, Diamond expertly demonstrated a series of basic positions before having us give them a try. My execution looked little like what I was just shown.

It seems obvious to say that ballet is a sublimely precise discipline, but it wasn’t until I attempted to do the basic movements that I began to grasp just how rigorous it is and that the cohesion that must occur between one’s mind and body can only be achieved through serious dedication. I posed and pliéed and strained my feet into resemblances of ballet positions, getting encouraging words from Diamond throughout.

Diamond has been teaching ballet in Santa Barbara since 2005. She came to this

fessional dancers begin studying the craft.

“I didn’t start as a kid. I started later; I was 15 [and] in high school,” Diamond said. “I started at Santa Monica High School, and I had this incredible teacher— teacher her name was Marilyn Allen. She set a lot of people off on professional dance careers.”

As for her wishes for the future, Diamond said she’d like to see ADM have its own rehearsal space, a place “that we can have the control over to make it the kind of space that we want, to be able to give evening classes. … Another goal is to be able to actually sustain a performing company,” she continued. “Maybe not all year but for significant portions of the year. We could have 8-10 dancers training all the time. Getting ready for performances. … Or even to have the funding to allow the dancers to train for six to eight weeks EN POINTE: Carrie Diamond (center) leads her students in the and then perform even fine art of ballet at an American Dance & Music class. just twice a year would be amazing.” seaside burg from New York City, where she While precise dancing posture may be lived and danced for 23 years. During her hard, securing funding is also difficult—as time in Manhattan, Diamond studied and it is with most artistic endeavors. “When it performed with the New York Theatre Ballet comes to philanthropy, arts don’t have the (NYTB), which is where she was exposed to guilt and fear cache,” Diamond said. “You the method of teaching she would later use know when you give to climate change or in her classes. “The most important to me health concerns, you know that people or was Margaret Craske, who was a master of the world is dying.

It’s been nine years since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published and five since the last film adaptation of the books premiered, but Harry’s popularity hasn’t waned one iota. So, thanks to overwhelming fan requests, the rehearsal script from the hit West End play Harry Potter and the

DaviD Shaw

Solo at Standing Sun Winery If you’re looking for a recharge tonight, Thursday, July 28, consider heading out to Buellton’s Standing Sun Winery for an intimate solo performance by David Shaw (pictured below), lead singer of the New Orleans folk-rock band The Revivalists. With his voice of soul-bearing honesty and his band’s ability to deal powerful emotional deliverance, he’s built a career around raising good times and remediating bad ones.

In fact, the Ohio-born singer moved to New Orleans in 2007 to revive the then-recently-flooded city from the ground up, working as a pipelayer for two years to restore its degraded gas lines. It was a “big, big job,” he said, and necessary work, what with the Big Easy’s soil foundation sinking about an inch lower every year. “New Orleans has definitely shaped our sound, and we were coming up at a time when the city was in a period of resurgence — the name Revivalists was a little piece of that,” he said. “We’re definitely growing with the city, and the city is fast coming back.”

Shaw has also helped revive his hometown of Hamilton, Ohio, with a festival he cofounded, Big River Get Down. Shaw said he felt inspired to inject an extra level of celebratory culture and music appreciation to his Ohio birthplace, where he returns to every year. “I thought, this town kind of certainly could use something that really brings the people together,” he said. “When a town starts doing a festival or something to do with the arts, it gets other people to take notice, and it can really rejuvenate an area that may or may not have had a chance to come back otherwise.”

Proceeds for the festival have funded the city’s July fireworks displays, for example, and Shaw said he and band are “excited for the future and to see what it holds.”

Playing solo gives Shaw the chance to connect deeper with his audiences and let some emotional truths lie all the more bare. “It’s naked, and it’s vulnerable, and I think that’s what people gravitate toward,” he said. “Sometimes with a big, big band, the message of the song can get lost — not that it always does, but solo, you have a more clear-cut, concise path inside somebody’s … soul.” Hear Shaw’s message channeled directly tonight, and feel your spirits rise.

here I stood, a full-grown adult in my first-ever ballet class, and let me tell you: It was hard. Though my instructor, American Dance & Music’s (ADM) Carrie Diamond, was kind and patient, I couldn’t help but hear in my head the words from an I Love Lucy episode when Lucy pretended to be a prima ballerina:“In the first place, your posture is atrocious. Shoulders back, hips under, stomach in, chest out, chin up, knees straight …” But with each plié, piqué, and passé, I

‘Weird Al’ YAnkovic Keeps Things Crazy

W

hen “Weird Al” Yankovic sings one of his countless sidesplitting songs or dons one of his crazy costumes at the Arlington Theatre on Tuesday, August 2, you will just have to laugh—yes, you really will have to. It’s mandatory.

Coming to town on tour for his hugely successful Mandatory Fun — the first chart-topping comedy album in 50 years since Allan Sherman’s My Son, the Nut in 1963 — fans will have no choice but to laugh uproariously, giggle profusely, and sing along with great gusto.Yankovic’s career has spanned many decades and touched on so many cultural references with a comic twist, and the world can’t help but continue to love the perennially parodic pop of the great accordionist, who launched his career as a 16-year-old 40 years ago with a debut on Dr. Demento’s radio show.

myself, or rely on old tropes and comic ideas.” One of Yankovic’s most artful forms, his pastiches — not direct parodies, but stylistic riffs and blends of hits —takes new form on his latest work, such as the song “Mission Statement,” where Yankovic sings corporate buzzwords in the style of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

(The opening lines: “We must all efficiently / operationalize our strategies / invest in world-class technology / and leverage our core competencies.”)

Career advances and innovations have been many for the Lynwood-born performer, including recent authorship: 2011’s New York Times best-selling children’s book, When I Grow Up; 2012’s illustrated biography Weird Al: The Book; and another for youngsters, 2013’s My New Teacher and Me! He also released a line of retro Al action figures this spring. Also this year, he joined in on Scott Aukerman’s Comedy Bang! Bang! as cohost and bandleader.

Some things, meanwhile, have remained continual comedy themes, like food. When asked what the funniest food is, he replied, “Oh, gosh. I guess eggplant.” He continues to receive praise from the artists he parodies, too.“I’ve had a lot of great comments over the years, some wonderful flattering quotes from Kurt Cobain and Lady Gaga and Chamillionaire and Mark Knopfler—a lot of artists are very supportive, and it’s thrilling,” he said.

Earning Michael Jackson’s adoration, he said, might have been the biggest celebrity compliment he’s received.

Serious and dramatic work has never been Yankovic’s focus, and he maintains it’s not a direction he’ll take any time soon.“It’s not that I’m incapable; it’s just not where my passion [is], and I don’t think that’s where my talents are, really. I’ve always loved comedy,” he said.

Second Season Has More Snappy Dialogue and Messy Murders

movie Guide

s TV premises go, iZombie isn’t much more irrational than The Flying Nun or My Mother the Car. The CW show, which just wrapped its second season with a hellish battle, features an ambitious, intelligent med student played by Rose McIver, who in the pilot episode attends a party where cocktail banter turns into an undead feeding frenzy. When she wakes up craving brains for breakfast, Liv Moore (note ironic name) somehow finds the wherewithal to team up with Ravi, a police forensics investigator (Rahul Kohli), thus ensuring herself a steady diet of fresh brains and a number of tasty cases to keep the show percolating. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars—the latter also produced by iZombie creators Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero — the show has an overarching season-long plot but also compelling one-hour BRAINS: Rose McIver plays a med student turned zombie in the whodunits. witty CW show iZombie.

Fans of Kristen Bell in Veronica Mars probably weren’t completely sold on this show during its playing a zombie on a fictitious show that Liv loves first season.

Yet the pulse to take a Silkwood shower,” said Liv’s traumatized of the story—detective work—is undermined by the DA buddy.

O Ghostbusters O Schneider vs. Bax

(96 mins.; NR)

As hit-man cinema goes, Schneider vs.

Bax is not just another day at the offing office. Dutch writer/director (and actor, as one of said killers-for-hire) Alex van Warmerdam has cooked up a cool and slightly subversive, minimalist exercise in the genre, involving a house by the river, a boat or two, and an ambiguously motivated but unambiguously shootto-kill connection between boss, hired guns, and clients. It adds up to some grim criminal fun of the post-Coen bros. kind, with a sleek sense of style adding to the noir-ish air, plus a few sneak attacks of emotional endearment along the way, including an adoring family waiting for daddy to come home from the “office.” (JW) Sun.-Wed., July 31-Aug. 3, Riviera

nOW SHOWing

(116 mins.; PG-13)

It’s funny with lots of great set pieces, yet Paul Feig’s reboot is haunted by the rich inventions that Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis first wrought.

Feig has a brilliant primary cast, featuring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon, who steals the show with a Harpo Marx sense of comic anarchy. With beautiful special effects and an almost steampunk approach to the afterworld, it’s thoroughly enjoyable yet ghostly paled by the inevitable comparisons. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Metro 4 (2D)

Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (100 mins., PG-13)

Conservative political commentator and Christian apologist Dinesh Joseph D’Souza made this film about Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.

(101 mins., PG-13)

The dynamic dysfunctional duo Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) are still shopping and drinking their way around London until they get caught up in a fashion-model-mishap media storm. They flee to the French Riviera, and mayhem ensues, naturally.

This action/adventure/comedy tells of a rebellious city kid, Ricky, who is sent to the country to live with his foster aunt and uncle (Sam Neill). Unhappy about his new situation, Ricky runs away, his uncle on his tail. A national manhunt is then ordered for the missing pair in the wild New Zealand bush.

Captain Fantastic (118 mins., R) Viggo Mortensen returns to the screen in this drama about a man who has been raising his six kids to live off the land using intellect and physicality.

When he is forced to leave his Pacific Northwest paradise, his idea of what it means to be a parent is challenged.

Paseo Nuevo

O Finding Dory

(103 mins., PG)

Maybe it isn’t one of those sequels that turn out better than the original, but it won’t invite disgrace on the Pixar brand, either. The first half of Finding Dory isn’t funny and goes pretty much where you expect it to — Dory remembers her parents, invites Nemo and Marlin on an adventure, and then gets waylaid.

But the second half is all preposterous problems and crazy solutions. An insecure octopus and the voice of Sigourney Weaver help the forgetful blue tang negotiate a fable about trusting her own heart’s ways. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

Ice Age: Collision Course (94 mins.; PG)

It feels as if the writers stopped trying.

They arranged the so-called story into a series of skits interspersed with the far funnier slapstick bits of the demented Scrat, a chipmunk chasing an elusive acorn across outer space. The story has something to do with asteroids and introduces an obnoxiously dumb new character named Shangri Llama, the writer’s revenge on pretentious yoga teachers. Even a cameo by Neil deGrasse Tyson can’t save this dreck from its own overdue extinction. Your kids will laugh.

(DJP) Fairview (2D and 3D)/Fiesta 5 (2D) The Infiltrator (98 mins.; R) The year is 1986, and federal agent Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston) must risk his life in a ruthless criminal underworld of drugs and money laundering.

rad and then ruined by a team of studio hacks who tried to work the exploitation of the Congo into a kid’s fantasy of going savage. Why not just stick to the pulpy story like the impeccable Jungle Book film? Tarzan’s reintegration with the scary flora and fauna of the African jungle is great. But an unnatural plot concerning white imperialism, enslaved Africans, and Tarzan as Magical Anglo saving people of color in their own neighborhoods is dumb and offensive.

O Lights Out (81 mins., PG-13) A good old-fashioned horror film based on the age-old fear of the dark, this thrilling creep-show about a family haunted by a murderous horror that hides in the shadows has all the goodnatured jumps and jolts of a classic hair-raiser with none of the gratuitous gore. With some good acting by Maria Bello as a grieving, mentally ill mother, it delivers a surprising amount of scares for a relatively tame and tried-and-true flick with the believability to boot. (RD)

O The Secret Life of Pets (87 mins., PG)

A ragtag gang of pets go looking for their lost comrades in the big city, running away from dogcatchers — it’s a wonder that Disney didn’t get around to suing on behalf of Oliver & Company or Lady and the Tramp. But The Secret Life of Pets is a lot better than its derivative premise thanks to great animation, a swift-moving plot, and great character voices like Louis C.K., Jenny Slate, and Dana Carvey.

O Star Trek Beyond (122 mins.; PG-13)

Something is amiss in deep space, and it isn’t the trouble with Tribbles. Kirk and Spock are suffering existential doubts.

That is until the USS Enterprise is drawn into a tricky nebula inhabited by a new evil and unexpected technologies. Written in part by Simon Pegg, who also plays Scotty, this one has an action scene worth the price of admission — it’s so wild Spock even laughs. (DJP) Arlington (2D)/

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of July 28 ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): Free your body. Don’t ruminate and agonize about it. FREE YOUR BODY! Be brave and forceful. Do it simply and easily. Free your gorgeously imperfect, wildly intelligent body. Allow it to be itself in all of its glory. Tell it you’re ready to learn more of its secrets and adore its mysteries. Be in awe of its unfathomable power to endlessly carry out the millions of chemical reactions that keep you alive and thriving. How can you not be overwhelmed with gratitude for your hungry, curious, unpredictable body? Be grateful for its magic. Love the blessings it bestows on you. Celebrate its fierce animal elegance.

TAURUS

CANCER

LIBRA

(June 21 - July 22): [Editor’s note: The counsel offered in the following oracle was channeled from the Goddess by Rob Brezsny. If you have any problems with it, direct your protests to the Queen Wow, not Brezsny.]

It’s time to get more earthy and practical about practicing your high ideals and spiritual values. Translate your loftiest intentions into your most intimate behavior. Ask yourself, “How does Goddess want me to respond when my coworker pisses me off?” or “How would Goddess like me to brush my teeth and watch TV and make love?” For extra credit, get a T-shirt that says, “Goddess was my co-pilot, but we crash-landed in the wilderness and I was forced to eat her.”

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): For many years, my occupation was “starving artist.” I focused on improving my skills as a writer and musician, even though those activities rarely earned me any money. To ensure my survival, I worked as little as necessary at low-end jobs — scrubbing dishes at restaurants, digging ditches for construction companies, delivering newspapers in the middle of the night, and volunteering for medical experiments. During the long hours spent doing tasks that had little meaning to me, I worked diligently to remain upbeat. One trick that worked well was imagining future scenes when I would be engaged in exciting creative work that paid me a decent wage. It took a while, but eventually those visions materialized in my actual life. I urge you to try this strategy in the coming months, Libra. Harness your mind’s eye in the service of generating the destiny you want to inhabit.

LEO

(Apr. 20 - May 20): The people of many cultures have imagined the sun god as possessing masculine qualities. But in some traditions, the Mighty Father is incomplete without the revitalizing energies of the Divine Mother. The Maoris, for example, believe that every night the solar deity has to marinate in her nourishing uterine bath. Otherwise he wouldn’t be strong enough to rise in the morning. And how does this apply to you? Well, you currently have resemblances to the weary old sun as it dips below the horizon. I suspect it’s time to recharge your powers through an extended immersion in the deep, dark waters of the primal feminine.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): Be alert for white feathers gliding on the wind. Before eating potato chips, examine each one to see if it bears a likeness of Rihanna or the Virgin Mary. Keep an eye out, too, for portents like robots wearing dreadlocked wigs or antique gold buttons lying in the gutter or senior citizens cursing at invisible Martians. The appearance of anomalies like these will be omens that suggest you will soon be the recipient of crazy good fortune. But if you would rather not wait around for chance events to trigger your good luck, simply make it your fierce intention to generate it. Use your optimism-fueled willpower and your flair for creative improvisation. You will have abundant access to these talents in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): An Interesting Opportunity is definitely in your vicinity. It may slink tantalizingly close to you in the coming days, even whisper your name from afar. But I doubt that it will knock on your door. It probably won’t call you seven times on the phone or flash you a big smile or send you an engraved invitation. So you should make yourself alert for the Interesting Opportunity’s unobtrusive behavior. It could be a bit shy or secretive or modest. Once you notice it, you may have to come on strong — you know, talk to it sweetly or ply it with treats.

VIRGO

Homework: What were the circumstances in which you were most amazingly, outrageously alive? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): You have just begun your big test.

How are you doing so far? According to my analysis, the preliminary signs suggest that you have a good chance of proving the old maxim, “If it doesn’t make you so crazy that you put your clothes on inside-out and try to kiss the sky until you cry, it will help you win one of your biggest arguments with Life.” In fact, I suspect we will ultimately see you undergo at least one miraculous and certifiably melodramatic transformation.A wart on your attitude could dissolve, for example. A luminous visitation may heal one of your blind spots. You might find a satisfactory substitute for kissing the sky.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): You have every right to celebrate your own personal Independence Day sometime soon. In fact, given the current astrological omens, you’d be justified in embarking on a full-scale emancipation spree in the coming weeks. It will be prime time to seize more freedom and declare more autonomy and build more self-sufficiency. Here’s an important nuance to the work you have ahead of you: Make sure you escape the tyranny of not just the people and institutions that limit your sovereignty, but also the voices in your own head that tend to hinder your flow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Of all the forbidden fruits that you fantasize about, which one is your favorite? Among the intriguing places you consider to be outside of your comfort zone, which might inspire you to redefine the meaning of “comfort”? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to reconfigure your relationship with these potential catalysts. And while you’re out on the frontier dreaming of fun experiments, you might also want to flirt with other wild cards and strange attractors.

Life is in the mood to tickle you with useful surprises.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): You have a special talent for accessing wise innocence. In some ways you’re virginal, fresh, and raw, and in other ways you’re mature, seasoned, and well-developed. I hope you will regard this not as a confusing paradox but rather as an exotic strength. With your inner child and your inner mentor working in tandem, you could accomplish heroic feats of healing. Their brilliant collaboration could also lead to the mending of an old rift.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): “Where is everybody when I need them?” Even if you haven’t actually spoken those words recently, I’m guessing the voices in your head have whispered them. But from what I can tell, that complaint will soon be irrelevant. It will no longer match reality. Your allies will start offering more help and resources. They may not be perfectly conscientious in figuring out how to be of service, but they’ll be pretty good. Here’s what you can do to encourage optimal results: (1) Purge your low, outmoded expectations. (2) Open your mind and heart to the possibility that people can change. (3) Humbly ask — out loud, not just in the privacy of your imagination — for precisely what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Millions of Pisceans less fortunate than you won’t read this horoscope. Uninformed about the rocky patch of Yellow Brick Road that lies just ahead, they may blow a gasket or get a flat tire.

You, on the other hand, will benefit from my oracular foreshadowing, as well as my inside connections with the Lords of Funky Karma. You will therefore be likely to drive with relaxed caution, keeping your vehicle unmarred in the process. That’s why I’m predicting that although you may not arrive speedily at the next leg of your trip, you will do so safely and in style.

Legals Administer of Estate NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: WILLIAM J. WAGNER NO: 16PR00287 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of WILLIAM J. WAGNER, WILLIAM WAGNER, BILL WAGNER A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: JOHANNA E. WAGNER in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA BARBARA THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that JOHANNA E. WAGNER be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 08/04/2016 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

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

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

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