how i spent my summer vaCation

Who said millennials are lazy? Santa Barbara native Andie O’Donnell, currently on summer break from UC Berkeley, where she’s soon to start her junior year in media studies, is not only taking an online journalism class; she’s also a counselor at Jon Lee’s Beach Volleyball Camp through S.B. Parks & Recreation in the morning and interning at The Santa Barbara Independent in the Calendar department in the afternoons, selecting events for The Week in the city that she loves. That’s some summer “break.” Judging from her accomplishments as an intern, this millennial is industrious, intelligent, hard-working, admirable, and a delight to be around.

deputizing crisis care Sheriff’s Office Improves Mental-Health Training

BETTER COMMUNICATION: Santa Barbara Undersheriff Bernie Melekian talked about the rollout of a Crisis Intervention Training program for his deputies.

I

“

c a S ta ñ e d a

believe that the collapse of the mental-health treatment system may be one of the greatest social failures in the United States in the 20th century,” said Santa Barbara County Undersheriff Bernie Melekian last Thursday at a talk hosted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Melekian cited studies that highlight the vulnerability of mental-health patients at the hands of law enforcement. The Washington Post recently reported that out of 990 people killed by police in 2015, approximately 25 percent showed signs of mental illnesses. In another study, the Boston Globe’s Spotlight team found that of the 65 people shot dead by law enforcement in Massachusetts between 2005 and 2015, 48 percent exhibited mental illness.

To Melekian, these studies point to a growing problem within the U.S. criminal justice system. “Law enforcement [officers] have become the de facto social workers for dealing with people in mental-health crisis, and the tools that we have all too often are a loud voice and a firearm,” he said.

In 2002, a 432-page, federally funded report by the Council of State Governments concluded that “[p]eople with mental illness are falling through the cracks of this country’s social safety net and are landing in the criminal justice system at an alarming rate.” It offered 46 policy ideas to improv e the situation. Melekian served on the report’s advisory board while he was Pasadena, California’s chief of police.“What I find depressing is that this was published in 2002 and many of these recommendations are still valid, still waiting to be acted upon,” he said.

American deinstitutionalization, or the closing of large, state-run psychiatric institutions in favor of community-based treatment centers, was in full swing when Melekian was a Santa Monica cop in the 1970s. He recalled the opening of the Euclid Mental Health Center. When officers came across people in the throes of a mental-health crisis, he said, the officers would take them to the center to be evaluated, instead of transporting them to jail.

“That shut down within two to three years,” Melekian said. “I assume it was defunded. I was a young police officer, and all I knew was that an incredibly important resource was suddenly gone.”

Santa Barbara County has its own woes.

Its Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) has only 16 beds, which forces many patients out of the area to receive treatment. Mental-health advocates and jail administrators have been locked in protracted debate over care and funding constraints. Last year, the proposed 228-bed Sheriff ’s Transition and Reentry wing for the mentally ill that would have been part of the North County Jail was rejected by county supervisors.

“What we have is a facility that is absolutely archaic,” Melekian said of PHF.“I think that it is incredibly unfortunate that our psychiatric hospital facility is limited by law to 16 beds for a county of 470,000.” Deputies are well aware of the shortage, he continued, and so sometimes have no choice but to jail people in need to “save [the PHF beds] for the very worst.”

In terms of preparing law enforcement personnel for interactions with mentalhealth patients, Sheriff’s Lieutenant Eddie Hsueh said Thursday that he is in the process of rolling out a Crisis Intervention Train-

ing (CIT) program. So far, 250 department employees have gone through the program, with a remaining 350 expected to complete it by the end of November.

The training is based on the Memphis Model, developed in 1988 by the Memphis Police Department with the purpose of de-escalating emergency interactions and diverting patients from jail. In 2002, Melekian adopted the model in Pasadena, and patrol officers were paired with mental-health clinicians. In Santa Barbara, the program will be made possible by social workers volunteering their time to instruct deputies, as funding is not yet available for paid positions.

Ideally, Melekian said, the department would have two academies: one for basic job training and another to develop deputies’ communication skills to better handle critical situations.

Thursday’s talk came on the heels of the fatal shooting of a Santa Maria man by officers the previous Wednesday. At a busy intersection, Javier Gaona, 31, held a knife to his throat and shouted at police to kill him.

Officers shot beanbag rounds to incapacitate him, but then opened fire with their guns when Gaona lunged. Santa Maria Police Chief Ralph Martin said Gaona had exhibited signs of mental illness.

Looking to the future, Melekian told The Santa Barbara Independent that the Sheriff’s Office is “absolutely committed to finding better ways to deal with mental-health issues” but that ultimately the real solution will not be found within law enforcement departments. “You heard the president say it the other night in Dallas: We as a society continue to challenge the police to solve these social problems that should be solved elsewhere.” n

news briefs law & disorder

A Lompoc Unified School District employee, jailed on 6/20 on charges of felony child porn possession and awaiting extradition to Fargo, North Dakota, was charged on 7/15 for continued sexual abuse of a child. Santa Barbara Sheriff’s detectives investigated child abuse allegations while Royce Devin Warner, 36, was in County Jail, and they developed information that led to the new charge. Warner had worked in the print shop at Lompoc Unified since last July; the crimes did not occur on school grounds, Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover said. Warner remains in County Jail on $500,000 bail and will face his California charges before extradition is considered. Information on related crimes can be relayed to the Sheriff’s Criminal Investigations Division at 934-6170.

Custody deputies on duty at County Jail on 7/24 intervened when an inmate was seen to be attempting to hang himself that night. As they entered the cell, the inmate struck one in the head and then ran for it.

He fought several deputies, even after being tased, and injured them sufficiently for two to be sent to the hospital for treatment, along with the deputy with the head wound. None had to remain at the hospital.

A criminal complaint of battery on a peace officer and resisting arrest was sent to the District Attorney’s Office.

The Santa Barbara Zoo welcomed two new western lowland gorillas this week. The brothers, 18-year-old Nzinga (pictured) and 12-year-old Bangori, were brought from the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas.

The Santa Barbara Zoo is holding them both in a 30-day quarantine to help them acclimate to their new habitat. The zoo’s previous lowland gorillas, Goma and Kivu, were transferred to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado and the Little Rock Zoo in Arkansas, respectively. The zoo will let the public know when the gorillas will be on exhibit via its social media platforms.

detained or arrested? a cHP Gets Spanked

For people stopped by law enforcement on suspicion of drunk driving, there’s a big legal — and practical — difference between being “arrested” and being “detained” without subsequent charges being filed. But according to a panel of three appellate court judges in Ventura, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has steadfastly refused to recognize this distinction. Worse, they found the CHP violated state law requiring law enforcement agencies notify the California Department of Justice when no charges are brought against the persons they “arrested” and indicate they have merely been detained.

On August 1, the Court of Appeal ruled emphatically in favor of the 187 members of a class-action lawsuit brought against the CHP by attorneys Bill Makler and Robin Unander, and “commanded” the CHP to issue certificates of detention to the 187 affected individuals, delete all references to their arrests from their arrest records, and conduct a thorough records search to ensure no other arrestees should be designated as detainees.

The case started when CHP officers arrested college student John Schmidt in 2011 on suspicion of DUI. He was arrested, booked, and released on his own recognizance.

The District Attorney, however, declined to file charges because Schmidt’s blood alcohol level — 0.05 percent — was well below the legal limit of 0.08. And he had no previous record. If prosecutors do not file charges within 25 days, state law requires such arrests be recorded as detentions. The difference is big, according to Schmidt’s attorney Makler. “If you’re looking for a job, and you know this is going to show up on your record as an arrest, you might not even apply,” he said. Job applicants are often asked whether they’ve been “arrested” before but rarely if they’ve been “detained.”

Attorneys for the CHP protested the words “accusatory pleadings,” “filed,” “arrested,” and “released” were ambiguous because of changes in criminal procedure over the past 40 years. The judicial panel dismissed this objection as a “fanciful argument,” adding, “The language of the statute is clear and unambiguous.” The court added, “The CHP should take note that the Santa Barbara Police Department complies with the code section without difficulty.” The appellate court decision was technically almost identical to a ruling issued three years before by Superior Court Judge Thomas Anderle.

The appellate judges also affirmed the $296,000 in attorneys’ fees Anderle awarded Makler and Unander. Attorneys for the CHP objected to the attorneys’ fees, insisting no social benefit accrued from the litigation. “Society as a whole benefits when enforcement agencies properly interpret and implement the law,” the judges replied. Makler said the CHP could still seek review by the California Supreme Court.

Assuming the ruling stands, Makler said he expects the CHP will amend its practices to encompass the whole state. Calls to attorneys for the CHP were not answered by — Nick Welsh deadline.

Lori Luhnow, new police chief for the City of Santa Barbara, had been on the job barely two weeks when two of her former colleagues from the San Diego Police Department — where she worked 19 years — were shot late last Thursday during a traffic stop, one fatally.

Luhnow used to work in an office next to the slain officer, Jonathan DeGuzman of the gang detail. “He was one of those guys who always had a nice smile,” she said. DeGuzman and his partner were both wearing bulletproof vests when they approached the car they’d pulled over. “We have to remain vigilant and safe,” said Luhnow. “We have an officer down, but we have to buckle up knowing that 99 percent of the population supports us.”

county Should Goleta vote for a mayor? The fivemember city councils elected to run the 14-year-old city have thus far chosen a mayor from among themselves, but this November, the city will place a measure on the ballot asking Goletans if they want to instead vote for a mayor and four city councilmembers.

It also asks if the mayor’s term should be two or four years. Should the ballot measure pass, the first election for Goleta mayor would take place in 2018. Two council seats are open in the vote on 11/8— Jim Farr and Tony Vallejo’s.

Vallejo has taken out reelection papers, but Farr has not. With incumbents running, the deadline to file for a council seat is 8/12; if Farr does not file by the 12th, candidates will have until 8/17 to finish the paperwork.

Smoggy skies are likely to result from the residue of smoke and ash from the summer’s fires and heat, warned the county’s Public Health Department and its Air Pollution Control District. In California, about a dozen active fires are burning; the Soberanes, 250 miles to our north near Carmel, and Sand, 80 miles to our south near Santa Clarita, have burned more than 82,000 acres as of 8/1. Ash and smog can cause coughing, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and fatigue.

The county departments recommend using common sense to avoid smoggy air and to contact a doctor if symptoms occur. Current air-quality data can be found at ourair.org.

ABSOLUTELY NOT: Attorney Barry Cappello opposes Plains’ request for change of venue.

Plains claims it i can’t Get fair trial Pipeline Company Says Potential Jurors Swayed by Negative Media Reports

A

by N i c k W e l S H

ttorneys for Plains All American Pipeline contend their client — now facing 46 criminal charges stemming from last year’s Refugio pipeline rupture and oil spill—can’t get a fair trial in Santa Barbara County due to negative media coverage, and they filed legal papers demanding the trial be conducted elsewhere.

Curiously, [Patterson] found, Santa Barbara’s press was less negatively tilted against Plains … compared to nonlocal media outlets ….

Plains’ jury expert Arthur Patterson oversaw a survey of more than 400 residents and concluded that 87 percent of the respondents read, heard, or saw media accounts of the spill, that 73 percent felt the spill had negative environmental effects and that 53 percent thought Plains All American had been either negligent or violated the law. Nearly 60 percent reportedly said they thought Plains should be punished.

These findings, Patterson argued, “reflect psychological factors that threaten the defendant’s ability to receive a fair trial in the venue.” He argued pretrial publicity— publicity which he referred to as “PTP”— can overwhelm evidence presented at trial or even a judge’s instructions. Many prospective jurors, he claimed, do not know they’ve become biased and hence cannot be winnowed out during the voir dire process.

Patterson claimed his experts “randomly rated” 300 of the 1,472 articles written between May 19, 2015—the date of the spill—and this June. Of those, he said, 55 originated from the local media, the rest from nonlocal sources.

Curiously, he found, Santa Barbara’s press was less negatively tilted against Plains, writing about corporate negligence 13 percent of the time as compared to nonlocal media outlets, which wrote about it 25 percent of the time.

Likewise, nonlocal media outlets were twice as likely to write about negative environmental and economic consequences of the spill as local sources.

Prosecutor Kevin Weichbrod said he intends to challenge Plains’ motion for a new venue, as did attorney Barry Cappello, one of three key attorneys pushing a classaction lawsuit against the company. “Absolutely ridiculous,” Cappello said of Plains’ contention, adding other stories — like the execution-style murder of Chinese herbal doctor Henry Han, his wife, and his daughter — garnered far more coverage.

In deference to the potential impacts of pretrial publicity, Superior Court Judge Jean Dandona, however, did grant Plains’ request to seal 2,000 pages of Grand Jury transcripts of witness testimony that were the basis for the 46-count indictment. Dandona expressed concern that certain passages could be highlighted, taken out of context, and go viral. This could prove prejudicial to Plains, she said.

Cappello sought access to the transcripts so he could better gauge if witnesses were consistent in their testimony. At one point, Plains attorney Susan Yu suggested Cappello might be “misguided” in his application of the law, prompting him to retort, “The only person who told me I was misguided was my 15-year-old teenage son.”

Ultimately, Dandona ruled against Cappello. The attorney said he and his partners have yet to decide whether to appeal the ruling. The change-of-venue motion is scheduled to be heard September 9. n

With news of 14 cases of Zika virus contracted in Florida, the possibility of disease spread has become a growing concern. Zero cases of Zika are reported in Santa Barbara County, said County Public Health’s Dr. Charity Dean. The two species transmitting the virus — Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, or yellow fever and Asian tiger mosquito, respectively — have been identified in 12 California counties, but not Santa Barbara, affirmed David Chang of the county’s Mosquito and Vector Management District. As of 7/21, 433 pregnant mothers in the U.S. were reported to carry Zika, and 13 infants were reported to suffer from Zikarelated birth defects in the U.S. The public can anonymously and safely throw away unwanted, expired, and unused prescriptions and over-the-counter meds in a drug disposal box in the lobby of the Santa Barbara Police Department at 215

East Figueroa Street. With prescription drug abuse on the upswing, incidents of accidental ingestion, overdose, and poisoning have risen. The safe disposal not only prevents others from swiping the contents of home medicine cabinets but also can protect fish and other ocean dwellers; wastewater treatment plants are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals that get flushed. The disposal box is limited to pills and patches. Liquids, needles, sharps, and other medical waste are not accepted.

national Hillary Clinton hit it out of the ballpark at the Democratic National Convention last week, said Rep. Lois Capps. The event was a bookend to Capps’s political career; 20 years before, she’d attended her first convention, for Bill Clinton’s reelection. Capps noted the week “wasn’t perfectly smooth,” referring to the diehard Bernie Sanders supporters who marched in the streets; in her district, he won the popular vote. Lois Capps and the Clintons have a complicated political history: Daughter Laura Capps worked as a Bill Clinton speechwriter; husband Walter Capps was endorsed by Bill Clinton. But in 2008, Lois Capps backed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton, forging a fissure between the Washington families. “Today, I really feel it’s Hillary Clinton’s time,” Capps said. “Our country needs it.” n

uc Salary report released Henry Yang (pictured), UCSB’s twodecades-long chancellor, recently got a 3 percent pay raise, bringing his total annual income to $401,020. Two years ago, Yang was among the three lowest paid UC chancellors, earning $325,000 each year, but he got a 20 percent hike in September 2014. Now he is the fourth lowest, just above the heads of the Santa Cruz, Merced, and Riverside campuses. They all earn $394,655.

The 2015 UC compensation report released last week shows that the women’s soccer coach, Paul Stumpf, makes about half ($75,685) what the men’s coach, Tim Vom Steeg, brings in each year ($150,625). Because UCSB does not have a football team — that sport’s coaches tend to earn the most in salaries and bonuses — basketball head coaches are the highest paid. Men’s basketball coach Bob Williams earns $327,080 annually whereas women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson earns $106,060. In water polo, Wolf Wigo, the men’s head coach, earns $78,975 whereas Serela Kay, the women’s, makes $54,795.

Two weeks ago, the UC Regents updated their policy on moonlighting, in light of the controversy surrounding UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi, who earned $70,000 a year serving on a board of a textbook publishing company. According to the Sacramento Bee, Yang is the only other chancellor to ever accept a paid post (which, it’s worth noting, he got permission from the UC Office of the President to do).

Yang served on the American Axle & Manufacturing Board of Directors from 2004-2013. He chaired its Technology Committee “to help the nation’s struggling automotive industry regain its competitive edge with innovation technologies,” he said in an email in March. Yang received $1 million in total compensation over a decade, the Sacramento Bee reported. When asked via email, Yang did not dispute that dollar amount. Yang said the position required four one-day meetings, for which he used vacation days. He has not served on any paid boards since April 2013.

FEW REFERRALS: Doctors worry they could run afoul of the law by providing medically assisted suicide, says Dr. Charity Dean.

docs Still Wrestling with assisted Suicide

o

by N i c k W e l S H

f the 600 doctors serving Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, even Dr. Charity Dean — head of the Central Coast Medical Association—is not sure to whom she can refer people who are seeking physician-assisted suicide. “As a medical association, we get people asking for medical referrals all the time,” she said. “We’d like to be able to provide referrals for doctors offering end-of-life treatment under the terms of the new state law regardless of their insurance status.” Outside of the Sansum Clinic, Dean said she knew of only one private provider interested in participating. One big wrinkle is fear of criminal prosecution.

District Attorney Joyce Dudley has jumped in—at the indirect instigation of oncologist Dr. Fred Kass —meeting with some health-care leaders already and setting up a mini summit with heath-care

executives later this month. “A lot of questions I can’t answer,” said Dudley, the only DA in California to have endorsed the medically assisted suicide bill passed into law last summer, “but I can tell doctors what would make me file criminal charges.”

Under state law, a patient seeking assisted suicide has to ask for it twice but with at least 15 days in between.“If it’s only 14, that’s not criminal,” said Dudley. “But if there’s undue duress placed on an older patient by relatives eager to inherit, that’s another matter.”

Trickier still, the new state law requires that patients be able to self-administer the fatal dose of drugs. But patients who lack the physical ability to swallow the 90 Seconal pills — such as patients with ALS — or the ability to plunge the pills through a food tube are on their own under the terms of the new law. In that instance, if loved ones help, they’re at risk of criminal prosecution n for assisted suicide.

State vs. local building rules

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and State Assemblymember Das Williams are taking a wait-and-see approach to a couple of bills designed to ease local regulatory restrictions holding up the development of residential second units, also known as “granny flats,” to help ease the state’s crushing housing burden. Both state legislators released statements expressing general support for that stated goal but also deference to local planning guidelines and local controls. In the past 10 years, the city of Santa Barbara has issued only seven permits for granny units, with another two possibly on the way.

The way city rules and regulations are currently structured, city planning Czar George Buell acknowledged, not many second-unit applications can or will qualify. In recent discussions with the Planning Commission, he said concern was raised over any one-size-fits-all planning approach that Sacramento might hatch.

Some neighborhoods are more accommodating of second units than others, he noted. But to craft locally sensitive rules, he estimated, could take three to five years. Whether that timeline will pass muster with politicians in Sacramento remains to be seen.

The Santa Barbara City Council went on record against a related measure that would all but strip local communities of regulatory oversight on residential developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are deemed affordable. That measure, however, appears doomed for the time being, having aroused opposition from both the environmental community and the labor unions.

A class-action lawsuit filed last year against Sansum Clinic, which alleged supervisors falsified hourly employees’ time cards to dock overtime pay, settled for nearly $2 million. From 2006 to November 25, 2015, the suit alleged, supervisors willfully and consistently changed the time cards of hourly employees so that a meal period was taken within the first five hours and so that overtime hours were removed.

Filed on behalf of Diane Pizzi, who worked as a clerk in Sansum’s endocrinology department, the class-action suit represents 1,500 employees (500 of whom no longer work there), who will each receive an $800 payment out of a $1.25 million fund set up by the settlement.

California labor laws stipulate work in excess of eight hours in one workday or more than 40 hours in a workweek is subject to time and a half, which, the lawsuit contends, occurred regularly for nearly a decade. That translated to an alleged total in unpaid wages of $3 million.

After reviewing a million electronic payroll records over nine months provided

by Santa Barbara’s predominate health-care provider, Bruce Anticouni, the plaintiffs’ labor attorney, argued in court files his investigation demonstrated “some mid-level Sansum managers and supervisors changed the time records.”

When asked about the settlement, Jill Fonte, Sansum’s spokesperson, said in an email, “Taking into account the claims, the cost of defense and the disruption to our operations, we think it is a fair and reasonable settlement for our employees and Sansum Clinic.”

Anticouni, who declined to comment, wrote in court filings that Sansum and its attorney “verified the changes made to employees’ time records.” Anticouni, who has filed more than 75 labor class-action lawsuits, will receive a third of the total settlement, about $660,000, plus $20,000 in attorneys fees, the lawsuit states.

anta Barbara County ranked sixth per capita in California in emergency room encounters for heroin overdoses, according to a new report from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. San Luis Obispo County was fourth. What’s more, the report indicates such cases are increasing at a faster rate in these neighboring counties. Last year, 65 individuals were treated and released at a Santa Barbara hospital—a tenfold jump in the last decade.

S.L.O.’s numbers increased by 14 times in the same time frame.

This news comes at a time when the price of naloxone, which reverses opioid overdoses, rose to as much as 17 times its original cost. As heroin takes an unprecedented number of lives nationwide, the demand for the drug has gone up.

Like an EpiPen, Narcan, the brand name for naloxone, can be administered by injection into a patient’s muscle by IV, or — increasingly popular — by a nasal spray. “It saves lives,” said Jimmy Dane, a Santa Barbara paramedic. The drug func-

tions like a slap across the face, almost as though a patient immediately experienced a withdrawal. Dane looks for small pupils and abnormally slow respiration. “It’s usually obvious,” he said. “Any hunch it’s an overdose, we’ll give this immediately.” If the person is not actually overdosing, naloxone is harmless.

In 2015, paramedics gave naloxone 195 times in Santa Barbara County, though outcomes were unavailable by press time. How often Dane finds himself administering the drug ebbs and flows, particularly when a bad batch of heroin comes through town.

He estimated that he personally administers three to four doses on average each month, most commonly in downtown Santa Barbara. Isla Vista, he noted, is “not as common as you’d think.” Naloxone is available, though, at UCSB, among various other places.

Two years ago, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill allowing the drug to be purchased at pharmacies, and now caregivers or family members who have been trained n can administer the drug.

reaching FUrTher: Monica Orozco said the Mission’s greatest challenge is to better communicate what the storied institution is and does.

Monica Orozco’s Mission Mission

F

Meet Santa Barbara’s First Lay Director

by M at t K e t t M a N N

or the first time since Old Mission Santa Barbara was founded by Franciscan missionaries from Spain in 1786, there will be a layperson officially in charge of the landmark’s administrative affairs, as Monica Orozco assumed her new duties as executive director on August 1. A Santa Barbara native with a PhD in history from UCSB, Orozco has been the director of the Mission Archive Library for seven years, during which time she’s elevated the profile of that mission-owned research institution.

But now she finds herself in charge of a much larger and multifaceted entity, as the mission simultaneously stars in the worlds of religion, history, and tourism. It’s the home for about a dozen Franciscan friars; it’s the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Saint Barbara Parish, with about 600 registered families; it’s a treasure trove of artifacts both on display and behind closed doors; and its museum is visited by more than 250,000 people each year, though countless others—probably five to 10 times more — simply visit the grounds. It’s also the icon of Santa Barbara to the rest of the world and the employer of about 35-40 full- and part-time employees, as well as a vibrant volunteer docent team. And it’s mighty old, which means constant, often expensive upkeep. And yet tourists tend to dominate the site, as if Santa Barbarans had ceded their city’s most prominent landmark to out-of-towners.

Altogether, Orozco is stepping into one of the most difficult and dynamic jobs in Santa Barbara, which has the potential to be one of the most rewarding, too.“We’re more than a backdrop,” said Orozco. “There’s a lot of really exciting things happening here.”

She spoke with The Santa Barbara Independent last week about her new role, and an edited version of that conversation follows:

t us about your new job. It’s a new position. Traditell tionally, a friar has been both the guardian and the administrative head of the mission. This is the first time those positions have been separated. I’ll be working with the two friars as part of the executive leadership team: Brother Regan Chapman, who is the guardian, and Father Adrian Peelo, who is the pastor.

Why did they secularize this position? A big reason is that there are fewer friars than there used to be. The friars that we do have would rather be doing their ministries, and I can’t blame them. That’s what Franciscans do. The idea of partnering with non-friars to do the administrative work didn’t begin here. At Mission San Luis Rey, they have a similar setup.

We are allowing the friars to do their more important work.

What are all the components at play? Not only are we a historical landmark, but we are a living mission. We are a home to the friar community; we have the parish and then the Archive Library, which is a research facility, and the museum.

There is a lot going on here. What we are trying to do is to communicate better what we do to the community and to emphasize the Franciscan values of service, joy, and hospitality.

What does the job entail? I will be running basically everything that has to do with the mission structure itself, the activities that go on here, the gift shop, the tours, our visitors, the festivals that come here, like I Madonnari and Fiesta Pequeña. I’ll be making sure all that runs smoothly. I am also ultimately in charge of the staff. I’m trying to make sure we are good stewards of this landmark and living mission and that we increase revenue to pay for a lot of the deferred maintenance.

Anyone who owns a home knows that there is constant maintenance. Imagine something as old as the mission! It’s my job to make sure it continues to move smoothly and is here for generations to come.

Has this new role been in the works for a while?

It’s been under discussion for probably the last two years, but I was approached fairly recently. It happened quickly. But I’ve been involved increasingly in the mission leadership, and we’ve been meeting weekly for about three to four years now.

Do you have a major things-to-do list? For the first couple months, I’ll be getting my feet under me. But look for a major outreach campaign in the new year. We really want to welcome the community but also reach out to see how we can really contribute to the community. We have people come from all over the world to see the mission, but we want to make this a place where the local community wants to come back often. Most of us who grew up here might have come in the 4th grade but maybe not returned, or when [we] do return, it’s just out on the front lawn for a big event. We’re trying to really make the experience for all of our visitors extraordinary, and we want people to come back. are you leaving your role at the library? I have two assistants, Rachel Hatcher and Brittany Bratcher, and they’re already doing a lot. But I will stay affiliated with the Archive Library during a long-term transition period that will allow them to assume new roles. There should be no disruption.

And the same thing at the mission: Interim Executive Director Christina Sumpter will stay for an extended period. She has some projects she initiated, and I have some at the library to continue to usher. So it should be a smooth transition in both. the mission is such a part of the Santa Barbara landscape that it’s easy to forget. It’s sort of a doubleedged sword. People are so used to seeing us—we are the symbol of the city; you see a rendering of the mission everywhere — but very few people understand the activities that actually happen behind the façade of the church and convento. That’s our challenge: to communicate what we’re doing better. n

Wishing Upon a (Dog) Star

RED, WHITE & BLUES: When in doubt, blame the middle-aged white guys. As fall

guys go, they are always reliable. How, for example, to explain the sustained popularity of Fiesta? Back in the ’80s, sociologists succinctly summed it up as “a bunch of middleaged white guys dressing up as Mexicans to dance on the graves of dead Indians.” That, no doubt, is a gross oversimplification. But what’s the explanation for Donald Trump?

Round up the Middle-Aged White Guys, aka MAWGs. Even more specifically, lock up all the gray white guys who never went to college.

Easily dismissed as heterosexists, homophobes, and haters, these MAWGs are the ultimate political patsies. As they transition from their midlife crises to the howling winters of toxic discontentment, these guys seized upon Trump—the ultimate male hysteric—as their final “Big Waaah!” (It’s worth noting that Santa Barbara’s very own News-Press is one of only four newspapers nationwide to endorse the guy.) Certainly the numbers bear this out; Trump’s most loyal die-hard true believers are middle-aged white guys who didn’t go to college, and they make up 37 percent of the middle-aged white guy demographic. It’s a tidy explanation. But as they say in detective novels, maybe too tidy.

When the elites and effetes get through blaming the victims, they’d be well advised to check out the research just compiled by Princeton economists Anne Case and Angus

Deaton, detailing how life expectancies for

MAWGs — ages 45-55 — are actually dropping. American MAWGs are the only ones for which that’s true in eight so-called advanced affluent industrialized nations, including the U.S.A.

The numbers are dramatic. From 19781998, death rates for the 45-55 white male set were dropping by 2 percent a year. But after 1998, the death rate for this group started to increase by half a percent a year. The culprits here are the obvious ones: opioid abuse, alcohol addiction, and suicide. Had the life expectancies for MAWGs followed the trends set by every other slice of the American pie, 488,500 deaths — over 15 years — would have been avoided. To put that in context, AIDS killed 650,000 people over 35 years.

Terrorists? We don’t need no stinking terrorists. We’re killing ourselves just fine.

In actual numbers, 34 more MAWGs a year are dying per 100,000 than they were 15 years ago. Drug overdoses overtook lung cancer — the old lethal stand-by—as a cause of death, with suicide not far behind. In medical quality-of-life questionnaires, MAWGs reported four times as many days where their mental health was “not good,” a five-fold increase in heavy drinking, and a 350 percent increase in difficulty socializing.

But if you focus on those who never went to college, the numbers are even scarier — 134 more deaths per 100,000 compared to 34. For this group, drug overdoses increased five-fold

and cirrhosis by 50 percent. In stark contrast, death rates for those who got a few years of college remained steady, and for those who graduated, death rates declined by 57 per 100,000.

The big question, of course, is why? The easy and obvious answers are rooted in economic despair. Real wages for college-free MAWGS tanked, full-time employment dropped, divorce rates doubled. For all MAWGs, the reported level of chronic physical pain tripled, which in turn further fueled addiction problems.

The response of the American pharmaceutical industry? To “discover” a new medical syndrome — opioid-induced constipation —for which they’ve devised newer drugs to push on TV (who can forget the stark images of toilet paper stuck to the shoe of the much relieved constipate?) and sell throughout the CVSs of America to counter the gutbinding effect of the painkillers they’ve been overprescribing. Congress, however, has been even worse. With 40 people a day dying from prescription opioid overdoses—that’s 194,000 since 1999 — Congress passed the insidiously named Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act of 2014.

This is a bill to make even a cynic weep.

As reported in the L.A. Times, the legislation strips the Drug Enforcement Agency of its administrative ability to suspend or terminate licenses to companies that make or sell controlled substances that are found

to be overselling highly addictive medications. Under the terms of the new law, pharmacy chains and drug manufacturers must now be given the opportunity to submit a corrective action plan before any enforcement actions can be initiated. Only after the DEA makes a finding declaring such action plans defective can traditional enforcement actions proceed.

The L.A. Times reported that one of the bill’s sponsors — California Democrat Judy Chu of Monterey Park — received $31,000 from the pharmaceutical industry in political donations. But a quick stroll through the OpenSecrets website reveals the legal corruption to be more dramatic. Marsha Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee and a major proponent of the bill, got $166,000 in such donations in the past year. And Tom Marino, a Republican from Pennsylvania, got $66,500.

Terrorists? We don’t need no stinking terrorists.

If Donald Trump isn’t the answer these MAWGs are looking for, then what is? In the past, the medically prescribed treatment for male menopause and attendant midlife crises was a red Corvette, which are bought disproportionately by 59-yearold males. With new Corvettes listing at $55,000, this is no longer an option. In the meantime, time to start rounding up all the usual suspects.

Dr. Gretchen Fall Burnett

Rochelle Fontes Phillips

03/05/40-03/22/16

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-inlaw 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.

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

August 3, 2016

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 France and climbed

to the summit of Mt. Whitney with some friends. 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.

A “Celebration of Life” gathering will be held in the Anacapa Room at The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa on Saturday, August 13, from 2:00-5:00 p.m.

New Movies from Old

A WILD BUNCH: While Santa Barbarans

mindlessly party at Fiesta, I can imagine a horde of Hollywood scriptwriters hard at work around the Biltmore pool, updating old movies with political twists.

Reefer Madness: Congressional pages take advantage of Congressional recess and invade the Oval Office. Get drunk, have a wild sex orgy, and begin pushing buttons on the presidential desk. When nothing happens, they realize they are just for show to impress foreign visitors. Naked page covers herself with jacket in the closet and then realizes that the shiny buttons are the real nuke codes. When drunk page reaches for what he thinks is her nipple, she whacks him with a huge ceremonial signing pen and throws herself over the presidential seal carpet. WH cops burst in to arrest the pages. Penalty: 12 hours of Nixon tapes.

The Kaine Mutiny: The VP nominee, furious over being relegated to the No. 2 spot, takes over the Oval Office, gets drunk, climbs into the presidential chopper, and is last seen heading back to Virginia.

Ten Nights In a Barroom: Vote counting in Florida goes on for days and nights. Results in a tie between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Supreme Court ties 4-4. Justice Antonin Scalia arises from the dead and declares himself president.

The Wild Bunch: A dozen grizzled, aging

cowboys ride into Washington, D.C., shoot up the town, and kill all the evil lobbyists. Robert Holden is declared chief justice with a pistol on the bench.

Hard Day’s Night: Trump wins election.

Celebrates by binge-watching the Beatles movie 100 times. Resigns in order to build 100-story White House Tower.

Mr. Trump Goes to Washington: Naive New York billionaire makes a deal to sell Alaska back to Russia, Louisiana Purchase back to France, and Southwestern U.S. back to Mexico. Backs deal with his casinos, which unfortunately are in bankruptcy. Sharp new president Hillary Clinton finds out and kills the deal at the last minute.

The Blob II: Steve McQueen is tough sheriff fighting gooey campaign rhetoric that ate Cleveland and is consuming Philadelphia.

McQueen saves democracy by blowtorching all broadcast clichés, florid speeches, outrageous boasts and promises.

Dr. Strangelove: Putin invades D.C. Congress deadlocks on sending out the army, but 10-year-old computer wizard disables all Putin computers, sending the Russian invasion force to Siberia, where it is stuck in the snow.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon: White supremacist David Duke announces a bid for Congress. The ex-KKK Grand Wizard withdraws prior endorsement of Trump,

flees to Mexico with campaign funds, and partners with Trump building a casino in Acapulco. It promptly goes bankrupt.

Four Brides for Four Brethren: A quartet of female Supreme Court justices wed their male counterparts. Argue bitterly during the honeymoon, issue dissenting opinions, and lobby the election winner to appoint a fifth justice to settle the disputes.

Wage Gauge

M

ost of the food-service workers downtown serving our beloved tourists earn minimum wage. Our low-income workers waited two long years for our beloved governor to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour. Will our City Council raise the minimum wage in Santa Barbara to $12 an hour this year, instead of waiting for seven more long years to raise it to the livable wage of $15 an hour? The rents go up every year here, and a minimum wage of $12 an hour, this year, is the best way for our City Council and mayor to make our tourist workers’ — Jerry Reed, S.B. experience fair.

Ugly Nonresident Attacks

A

s a trustee on the SBCC board, I have been made aware of a concerted attack on nonlocal students. Specifically, professionally made bumper stickers and posters that read “Non-Local SBCC Students Go Away” have anonymously surfaced in and around Shoreline Park. In addition, one incoming international student received a private Facebook message from someone saying they were a Santa Barbara resident and telling them to stay away.

These attacks are very close to a hate crime, defined as a prejudice-motivated crime that occurs when a perpetrator targets victims because of their national origin, ethnicity, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. It is surprising to me that some Santa Barbara residents have picked up the banner of recent national and international negativity; they are echoing the political rhetoric against globalization and international populations, including immigrants. Further, they are anonymously acting publicly.

This is not the kind of city we are. I for one

don’t want to live in a city that spews hate.

Normally these kind of issues are dealt with at the Board of Supervisors, the City Council, or the SBCC Board of Trustees. In Santa Barbara we love democracy and have an active group of residents, but we don’t act anonymously.

At its meeting in June, the Board of Trustees put a cap on international students at 1,500 instead of 8 percent of our student body. No one from the public appeared at that meeting.

If there were issues with this number, they did not come out.

As the trustee representing the Mesa, I would be glad to meet with anyone on the issue of nonlocal students. Let’s get the facts, identify the problems, and get to work on solutions. That is the Santa Barbara way.

Spring Birthday Blues

T

he Carpinteria school board decided in June to eliminate Transitional Kindergarten — a new, early kindergarten program for 4-year-olds in California public schools — for approximately 28 children who have spring birthdays. Since February, when the

program was announced, those 28 families had spent hours attending doctor’s appointments, meeting with teachers, and touring schools in order to formally enroll.

At no point did the Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) tell parents that this new deadline was “pending.” With just weeks before school starts, 28 families have been scrambling to find child care because they gave up their child’s preschool spot. It will cost the 28 families affected over $126,000 to pay for the cost of child care that early kindergarten would have covered.

The CUSD’s agenda for the June meeting did not list the change to Transitional Kindergarten enrollment, possibly violating the Brown Act; the only relevant item listed program personnel issues. The 28 families directly affected by this decision were not notified in advance. The board claims the decision was financially motivated, but CUSD is not eliminating the program entirely.

The board’s dire decision is outrageous and wrong-headed. I hope the board reconsiders its actions and allows 28 young children to pursue the promised education they deserve.

Families affected by this change can appeal the decision by writing a letter to the board, which will discuss the issue August 9.

— Maureen Claffey, Carpinteria

Rodeo Rawhide

I

am against the rodeo. Bulls, steers, and horses are routinely jabbed with electric prods, girdled with tightly cinched belts that pinch the groin area to make the animals buck

and exhibit wild behavior so that these cowardly men will look courageous. They say they love their animals, but this behavior does not show that. Severe injuries to animals include broken ribs, broken legs, massive bruising, and internal bleeding. Calves are roped around the neck while they are running in fear, their legs are tied up, and they are thrown to the ground.

These are “live” animals, not stuffed toys.

Tormenting animals while spectators cheer is not entertainment. It takes us back to the Romans cheering while lions tore men apart.

Gandhi said,“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

Shame on Earl Warren Showgrounds for hosting this event. There are other things to do at Fiesta: Go to the parades, shop, go to MacKenzie Park, but don’t pay to see animals abused. Instead, join me to help the animals on Thursday-Saturday, August 4-6, at 6:30 p.m. and on Sunday, August 7, at 1 p.m.

We will meet on the corner of Calle Real and Las Positas Road.

Traffic Snarls

I

used to listen to KFI AM 640 and scoff at the traffic reports, wondering why anyone would put up with all that craziness. These days, I no longer wonder as I am stuck on the 101 South between Santa Barbara and Summerland trying not to pull my hair out.

There used to be a rush hour, but it seems like that has become a rush three hour. One could try to outfox it by leaving work by 3 p.m., which I did today. It took me 45 minutes. Even after the three lanes become two in Montecito, we were crawling or at a complete stop.

Then, miraculously, at Sheffield Drive, it opened up.

Even the 101 North is horrible through most of Santa Barbara.

I have no solution for this issue, but I can’t understand why we have to put up with it day after day. My anger and frustration is trumped only by my shame that I am hoping that there is a car accident with injuries up ahead. At least then there would be a reason. We are not the L.A. freeway system, right?

Athletes Wear Skirts, Too

A

n article titled “Up Against the Condor Trail” [independent.com/condortrail] on July 14 was blatantly sexist and noninclusive. It generally tried to convey that a woman named Brittany Nielsen throughhiked the Condor Trail, which had never been done before and is an impressive athletic feat. Instead of focusing on that, writer Ray Ford spent half the article reporting on the fact that she wore a skirt when she arrived on the train and that everyone doubted she would be able to accomplish the hike.

I guarantee you, if the hiker had been male, there would have been no mention of what he was wearing, and no one would have doubted his ability to hike this trail. I would hope The Santa Barbara Independent has higher standards for discouraging sexist reporting on — Marissa Bills, Goleta female athletes.

A SAGA OF SEWING: Seamstress Maria Lazcano (pictured right) often worked late into the night with her sister Socorro Avila to make more than 90 dresses for this year’s Fiesta. “It’s very emotional for me to see the dancers up onstage in a costume I’ve made for them,” said Lazcano. “It’s very satisfying.”

Dressing la fiesta Meet the Seamstresses Who Make the Flamenco Outfits That Make Fiesta

F

“Olé, and viva la siesta!” iesta t begins in earnest at tonight’s La Fiesta ta Pequeña, but for the seamstresses who have toiled tirelessly on hundreds of handmade dresses, this week is the calm after the storm.

After months of sewing marathons to produce the colorful and customized flamenco costumes paraded across Santa Barbara this week, months of meticulous artistry is finally complete.

No more last-minute alterations or unstitching and stitching of that one unruly hemline.

No more lugging around heavy bolts of fabric, or latenight machine malfunctions.

No more desperate trips to downtown L.A.’s fabric mart to scour the stores for missing inches of lace trim in “charchar chartreuse, not lime, not emerald, not kelly, but chartreuse!” or that extra yardage of the elusive crespón polyester meant for flamenco dresses: not too heavy, not too light, not too stretchy, not too slippery, never scratchy, wrinkle-free, at the right price, and at least 8-10 meters of it per dancer, in all one color or coordinating colors, or forget about it; keep scouring. Or get ready for a pricey, sometimes unpredict-

able import from Spain, where polka-dot, floral, and solid flamenco fabric is everywhere but still 6,000 miles away.

In any given year, there is a small but mighty group of women—maybe six or seven—who are commissioned to produce these figure-hugging, ruffled trajes in mass quantities on deadline.

Along with talent, they have the disposition and intuition to work side by side with hovering mothers and often demanding studio directors who look to the seamstress to carry out their artistic vision (often from a simple, colored-pencil sketch designed by the directors themselves).

In Santa Barbara, flamenco costuming is big business, and those in the sewing trade have responded in force to satisfy the demand.

Some seamstresses, such as Maria Lazcano, Candi Cruz, and Angelica Ramirez, sew costumes most of the year with a lull during — and after— after Fiesta. Other sewers step in to help with the smaller dance groups, maybe parttime during the months leading to Fiesta.

Some moms learn to sew, embroider, and attach adornments out of sheer necessity, and get darn good at it with all the practice.

Estimates are that we have about 400-plus flamenco dancers in the Santa Barbara region, belonging to a handful of studios or private teachers.

Each dancer performs at least one routine, but most perform two, three, or four unique routines, with a different costume for each.

On average, each costume costs somewhere around $300-$700.

That includes the fabric and adornments of embroidery, lace, and trim, as well as the seamstress’s labor and time. More

expects her dancers to, as well. When a dancer is asked to report for a fitting, Cruz frowns on those who fail to arrive on time or not at all.

“These poor women have wasted their valuable time in waiting and being delayed on their projected date of completion toward a show or Fiesta,” Cruz said, describing the inevitable wrinkles in the process.

“Personally, I jump when a seamstress makes a request; without her incredible work, we are left in leotards and tights as costumes!”

Longtime seamstress Maria Lazcano now has her own thriving business in town, made possible in part by the demand for flamenco dresses. In recent months, it was not uncommon to see the light on and hear the buzz of her machine humming until midnight as she worked to finish costumes for studio director Daniela Zermeño. She made more than 90 costumes for this week.

“I love working; I love what I do, but it is difficult when the pressure of finishing sometimes causes you to have to sacrifice the creative process,” said Lazcano, whose shop is wall-to-wall with bright bolts of fabric and dozens of spools of thread in every color of the rainbow. “It’s very emotional for me to see the dancers up onstage in a costume I’ve made for them. It’s very satisfying.”

Pat Dunselman, a former schoolteacher whose granddaughter has danced with Rose Marie Cruz for 20 years, has helped make costumes from the beginning.“I sit and sew and put on old movies,” said Dunselman, who was working to finish a complicated bata de cola, a dress or skirt with a long, ruffled tail. The bata requires up to 25 yards of popelín fabric and another six yards of can can de flamenca flamenca, a stiff nylon material that gives the tail more body and shape so the dancer can move it about the stage with a kick of the heel.

The hours she’ll have put in to complete it won’t necessarily result in a whopping paycheck.“It’s so many hours, so much detail,” Dunselman said.“The amount I get for the number of hours I’ve spent … it’s just the

HOBBY BECOMES HABIT: Pat Dunselman (above, seated) is a former schoolteacher who makes dresses at her home in Goleta for her granddaughter, Anastasia Maria Sagawinia, and others. “I sit and sew and put on old movies,” said Dunselman. “It’s so many hours, so much detail.”

cover story

NOT JUST FOR GIRLS: Even the boardmembers of Old Spanish Days, including Primera Vice President Rhonda Ledson Henderson (left) and Segunda Vice Presidente Denise Sanford, get dresses handmade for the citywide party. “The fact that any of these seamstresses have the time, energy, and material left to help dress our board in traditional flamenco attire — after the thousands of dancers they dress — that is pretty much heroic in my opinion,” said Henderson.

tip of the iceberg … But I love sewing and interacting with the kids, fitting them, making sure it works. I’ve been involved long enough now to know to ask them to raise their arms, move around, because I want them to feel good out onstage.”

The dancers aren’t the only Fiesta-goers pining for good costuming. Old Spanish Days Segunda Vice Presidente Denise Sanford has relied on Candi Cruz for years to dress her for the many Fiesta events she attends throughout the spring and summer.

“The seamstress is an intricate part of presenting the best of Fiesta,” said Sanford. “Candi has a unique eye of what works and what doesn’t work and how to present it in the best light possible. I’ve had a design and a fabric in mind, and she has gone out and found exactly what I pictured. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Everything she makes for me fits perfectly with very little altering because she just knows me. Her dresses are impeccably made, down to the last detail, including lining and every stitch!”

Sanford paid tribute to all the hundreds of seamstresses who have created costumes for the Old Spanish Days celebration over 92 years, some of which are now on display at Project Fiesta! at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. Some wind up at Old Spanish Day’s annual Fiesta costume sale. Others are too precious to donate or give away.

“These women are amazing and truly artists in their own right,” Sanford added. “Their art is displayed throughout the year at various events and venues all over Santa Barbara.”

“The fact that any of these seamstresses have the time, energy, and material left to help dress our board in traditional flamenco attire—after the thousands of dancers they dress—that is pretty much heroic in my opinion,” added Primera Vice Presidente Rhonda Ledson Henderson, whose Fiesta look is reminiscent of a flamenco runway model in Sevilla, Spain, a hub for designers. “These seamstresses are simply amazing! The pure talent we have in Santa Barbara is n incredible.”

hile riding back from Goleta Beach toward Santa Barbara in the Fiesta Cruiser Bike Ride of 2012, I was shocked at the estimated 1,200 people participating that day. I hadn’t seen the YouTube videos and remain a bit naive as to how it grew so large.

But as I pedaled along, I realized that most of these people probably had no clue about the humble beginnings of this tradition, so I decided to write this story.

It began on a foggy August day in 1979 at Charlie Muraoka’s house on Santa Barbara’s Westside, which had always been a gathering place. Ground zero was his room in the basement, which still sports the word “DEN” on the exterior door due to past Cub Scout meetings. Our group of guys shared a love for motocross, and most weekends revolved around racing motorcycles somewhere. I didn’t have a death wish, so my title was team photographer, and I stuck to the mini-bikes we called “pitters.” I’d ride them to shoot

CRUISING INTO THE PAST: Pictured both above and at the top of this page are some images from the early Fiesta Cruiser Rides.

races from different vantage points, but we’d also tear through Santa Barbara together on them, usually starting at Charlie’s house.

Around the same time, the Schwinn beach cruiser exploded in popularity. These red or blue bikes with white sidewall tires had been around for years, but they were suddenly cool. Lightweight and more colorful aluminum parts took the formerly heavy bike frame to a whole new level, and we jumped on the chance to own personalized, tricked-out cruisers. They were usually purchased from Mac’s on upper State Street or Hazard’s downtown, but I found my black and gold beauty at Murdoch’s in Goleta. I’d ride from my home on the Mesa

to work in Goleta and, on the weekends, to Butterfly Beach or down Rattlesnake Trail from Gibraltar Road, as our cruisers were off-road-ready, too.

We also got into what we called “Shacklers,” a name some kid in Montecito coined for those old cruiser bikes found rusted, full of cobwebs, and forgotten, leaning against a garage, shed, or shack. But unlike the lightweight Schwinns, the Schacklers had a rear hub that allowed us to do amazing wheelies, just one of the tricks we liked to pull when we rode around town. To this day, I look down at the rear hub of someone’s cruiser to see if they have one.

When Fiesta 1979 came, we realized that our bikes let us get everywhere easily. That Sunday, the last day of Fiesta, we gathered at the “Den” and then headed downtown, where everyone was in wind-down and clean-up mode. We waited for friends at the base of Stearns Wharf, hit the end of the pier, and then rode up State Street. We stopped at Miratti’s Liquor store (now Talevi’s) near Modoc and Hollister, so I could call some friends and tell them to meet us at Goleta Beach. I don’t think we even bought any beer, since we weren’t big drinkers.

The nearby bike path was brand-new at the time, so we decided to check it out. After a quick stop at the beach park, we hit the trails around the UCSB lagoon and ended at Devereux Point. There were only nine of us, plus the two we met up with in Goleta — Charlie Muraoka, Rich Sandoval, Rich Studley, the late Skeeter Lyerla, Rod Hunter, the late “Wild” Bill Carson, Kit Carson, Jessie Gomez, George Begin, Chip, and me — but that, my friends, is how this ridiculously crazy ride started.

The next year, we had a few more riders, and my friend John Chard made T-shirts that featured a peace-sign-waving character busting a wheelie along the seawall with Stearns Wharf and the Channel Islands in the background and the words “Team Shackler” above. I ordered 12.

Our first female rider, Diane, came along in 1981, and it’s grown ever since.

I don’t know what the future holds for this annual gathering, but the 2016 ride is this Sunday, August 7. I hope to see you there. n

ableau vivant, which means “living picture” in French, is the once popular but nowadays rather rare art in which actors strike a steady pose amid the re-created setting of a famous painting or photograph, thereby turning a two-dimensional work into a static form of theater. Its most prominent modern expression is during Laguna Beach’s Pageant of the Masters, a nightly affair that runs through July and August each year. But since 2000, tableau vivant can also be seen on the last night of Old Spanish Days, as part of the Fiesta Finale hosted by the Profant Foundation at El Paseo. That’s where a small troupe of actors will pose for a few minutes on Sunday night before coming to life to dance and sing as Californio music plays.

“It narrates the visual art with the performing arts,” said Marie Profant, whose grandparents came to Santa Barbara as part of the early Sansum Clinic in 1922 and were integral in the creation of Old Spanish Days as well as CAMA and the Music Academy of the West. “It’s a good way of teaching people more about art because they start to understand why these figures were in that pose to begin with. It’s not just TABLEAU VIVANT ON SUNDAY: This photograph, from the some painting or photo- Santa Barbara Historical Museum’s collection that was handtinted by Peggy Lindt in 1989, will come to life and bring graph. It’s actually part of Fiesta to a close this weekend at El Paseo.

Santa Barbara history.” In addition to the history lesson, the evening raises money for the Profant Foundation, which supports developing artists, musicians, writers, actors, and now dancers, as well, of all ages through scholarships, exhibits, and performance.

Inspired by their summer trips to Laguna Beach’s pageant, the family started the tradition on the Courthouse stage in 2000. “We always wondered, why is Fiesta over so early?” said Profant. “Why not do something on Sunday?” About five years ago, they moved their event to El Paseo, which has a smaller performance space but the ability to enjoy fine wine and food as the performance ensues. This year’s tableau includes a staircase, which matches the restaurant perfectly.

“It’s actually quite a chore,” said Profant of the actors’ posing, but she’s glad they integrate the movement after the scene. “You can hear everyone go, ‘Ohhh,’ when it comes to life.”

— Matt Kettmann The Profant Foundation for the Arts’ Fiesta Finale Gala is on Sunday, August 7, 5:30-10 p.m., at El Paseo (813 Anacapa St., Ste. 10). The $200 ticket includes the dancing and musical performances, dinner, and wines from Au Bon Climat, Babcock, and Windrun. Call 682-8184 or see profant.org. independent.com

bout halfway into a 28-day fitness and nutrition program headed up by Mikki Reilly at Fitness Transform, I experienced a sustained upswing in energy as I went about my typical weekend. I had woken up 30 minutes earlier than usual and, unvisited by my normal grogginess, dispatched household chores — raking leaves, emptying trashes, unloading armloads of family beach gear from my pickup — with renewed strength and nary a mumbled complaint.

As I paused for a glass of water and a handful of raw almonds, I 28 DAYS OF HEALTH: Mikki Reilly took the author through noticed that my internal mechaa monthlong regime at her Fitness Transform studio. nisms produced a steady buzz (apart from the one lit by two mugs of dark roast). My middle-aged dad bod, as it turned out, was tapping stored fat as its primary fuel source. I felt great.

Back in Reilly’s downtown studio the following Monday, she smiled knowingly as I described my weekend power surge. Over the years, she had explored dozens of health and fitness plans — including macrobiotic, Zone, Atkins, and seven years of vegetarianism— before discovering the paleo diet while working on her Exercise & Sports Studies ism degree at UCSB. Its omega-3-fatty-acid- and protein-heavy intake is designed to mimic that of our Stone Age ancestors. She later wrote a book about it, Your Primal Body, published in 2012.

“Most important for me was that a low-carb, high-protein diet with healthy fats was the best way to eat for health and permanent weight loss,” said Reilly, a certified trainer since 1992.“It’s the ancestral diet we evolved on and therefore is perfectly congruent with our human genome.”

Starting out, Reilly suggested I consume 105-130 grams of protein daily, restrict carbs to 50, and eat more healthy fats. I kept a detailed food journal, an accounting that proved semi-tedious until, after four or five days, I had developed meal plans that included grass-fed beef, butter-fried eggs, avocados, nuts and seeds, and lots of vegetables.

While journaling was a daily task, my accompanying fitness strategy— strategy also designed to mimic Early Man movement patterns — only occupied three one-hour sessions each week at Reilly’s studio, plus some optional cardiovascular work, such as sprinting stadium stairs at City College, which I politely declined. At first, my planks sank and my kettlebell-laden squats showcased an amateur hour of stiff-jointed struggling, but about two weeks in, my technique found good form. Reilly also trained our small group to smooth out muscle tension with foam rollers and to build core strength by using stability balls to transform a standard plank into a tricky balancing act.

But I remained convinced I’d instantly drop my workout habits and start repacking my midsection as soon as the program ended. Surprisingly, that wasn’t the case. It’s been two months since my final session, and the number on my bathroom scale remains a sign of success as I eat mindfully and still exercise three days a week on average. Overall, I gained a pound of muscle and shed nine pounds of fat, pretty good results in just 28 days.

I do allow myself a day or two each weekend, usually at a restaurant or kids’ party, to eat bread, sugary fruit, or ice cream. But my body now seems to prefer a fat-burning paleo state, so it’s easy to get back into that groove of our middle-of-the-food-chain forebears.

“The environment they encountered built strong muscles and lean bodies for survival,” Reilly said. “And when you exercise and eat similar to the earliest humans, you gain a host of advantages that were honed over millennia to keep you in top condition.

It works. Fitness fads come and go, but this approach is here to stay.”

he unusual rock, a mixture of metallic and matte material yellowish in hue, was found in the barren arctic tundra of northeastern Russia and stored for decades in a geology museum in Florence. In 2008, an Italian mineralogist named Luca Bindi was sufficiently intrigued by it to ship the specimen to Paul Steinhardt, the director of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, who called upon his colleague Lincoln Hollister to help analyze it.

A renowned expert on the origin and forma- Lincoln Hollister tion of rocks, the initially skeptical Hollister determined that this one had an extraordinary geochemistry, hinting of extreme and hitherto unknown processes occurring in the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. The International Mineralogical Association has recently christened the mineral “hollisterite” in Lincoln’s honor, and a fitting honor it is.

Like its namesake, it is unique, formed naturally, and helps expand the frontiers of knowledge.

The Hollister name is a familiar one in Santa Barbara. Lincoln is a great-grandson of Colonel W.W. Hollister, the rancher and entrepreneur who in partnership with the Dibblees bought up several land grants in Santa Barbara County in the 1850s. These include what are now the San Julian and Hollister ranches, where a rural way of life endures to this day.

Lincoln, now 78, spent much of his boyhood as a “free-range” kid in the backcountry, and the freedom to explore sparked his curiosity and shaped his sensibilities. His interest in geology started with his uncle, geologist Joseph Steffens Hollister, who was instrumental in locating water on the ranch. “I would ride around with him in the jeep and get the feel for geology and discovery, just basic discovery,” recalled Lincoln. “And that’s what I’ve done all my life. I’ve been on some kind of pathway to discovery.”

At the age of 12, Lincoln decided to do a solo camping trip with his dog, supplies, and a sleeping bag. It rained hard, and he took shelter in a cave, happily walking back the next day, unaware that the whole ranch had been mobilized to find him.

“I never felt so alone as I did in that cave at the headwaters,” he said, “but I was forever afterward confident I could manage on my own, anywhere.”

At 16, he was recruited to help stop traffic and assist firefighters during the 1955 Refugio Fire, running through the grass with a stick and a flare attached while flames billowed behind him. As a student at the Thacher School, he and a friend went on horseback from Ojai to the ranch for a break, and back again afterward, a threeday journey each way through mountains, brush, and an occasional backyard. “As kids, we were let loose,” said Lincoln. “My father had confidence in us being able to cope, and because you’re there and on your own, what you have feels like an unlimited space; to go from that to the earth to the moon to the cosmos is a natural progression.”

His comfort in the outdoors served Lincoln well in his fieldwork in the wilds of British Columbia, the Peruvian Andes, and southeast Alaska. From 1966 until his retirement in 2011, he was a professor of geology, first at UCLA and then at Princeton. Post-retirement, he works on research projects and outreach teaching, but the analysis of hollisterite is a crowning achievement.

The conditions that formed the rock could reveal new theories about deep time, deep space … The Beginning. Those who crave more in-depth discussion can find it in the scientific journals, but the general takeaway is a sense of wonder. “It all started from the ranch in Gaviota,” Lincoln has said. “The exploring. The discovery. I realized there was a lot to discover right there … and it just goes on and on and on.”

he Santa Barbara Humane Society’s website, sbhumanesociety. org recently underwent a makeorg, over, giving fresh and new ways for those interested in adopting pets or using the group’s resources to engage online. Launched at the end of June, the site is averaging 1,300 users per week and nearly two times as many page views, with 40 percent of traffic coming from mobile phones, according to the Humane Society’s Rebecca Tivang.“We really want to be a resource for the community,” Tivang said.

“But the old website was very text-heavy and a little bit difficult to navigate. It was kind of overwhelming.” The bounce rate has also significantly decreased, meaning more people are finding what they need right on the site and staying there instead of searching elsewhere.

or anyone who’s ever owned a dog with behavior problems, you’ve likely been told that your dog might be suffering from loneliness and is therefore destructive when you’re not around. “Adopt a second dog” is advice commonly given to help combat these issues, but not everyone can have more than one dog. Thankfully, Sam Lovett, a dog lover from Los Angeles, came up with an answer to this problem a year ago. His solution is dogbuddymatch.com, which is a neighbor-

One day, Lovett asked the neighbors if his dog, Riley, could spend the day with Buster. They agreed, and not surprisingly, the behavior problems in both dogs disappeared. Two years later, the two dogs are best buds and spend time together every day.

“Many dogs suffer great distress when left alone for long periods of time, resulting in destructive or other problematic behaviors,” said Lovett. “Since not everyone can afford dog day care, we wanted to create a completely free alternative and make it available to every dog owner nationwide.”

It works almost exactly like online dating services. You sign up and create a profile for your dog, search for potential matches in your area, send a message to connect, and then meet to test compatibility.

MUY AUTHENTIC: Santa Barbara’s tamale expert recommends searching out a torta ahogada, or “drowned sandwich,” (above left) and the tlacoyo, a midnight-blue, torpedo-shaped patty (above right) while in Mexico City.

Exploring mexico city’s street Food During this week of our town’s Mexican-food-soaked Fiesta, we present this report from the founder of Santa Barbara Tamales-To-Go, who is in Mexico City working on the forthcoming book A Visitor’s Guide to Mexico City Street Food Food.

W

hen the Spanish arrived in the 15th century, they were amazed to find so many ready-to-eat foods on the streets of Mexico City. They called them antojitos, or “little cravings.”

Today, the city’s tradition of street food remains strong, and it’s estimated that 75 percent of the residents eat on the street at least once a week. Here are some of my favorites.

Torta Ahogada: In 1910,

ner plates. It is made-to-order and stuffed with your choices of alternating meats and cheeses.

Like a pizza, a machete is usually shared, although recently at lunchtime I watched three people each devour a whole machete in about 10 minutes.

Cochinita Pibil: The best street tacos in MexMex-

ico City originated in the Yucatán Peninsula. They are made with shredded pork, which is traditionally steamed in a rocklined pit and marinated in achiote and orange juice. In today’s world, street vendors use a slow cooker in place of the pit. The garnishes, however, remain the same: pickled red onions with habanero salsa sure to make your lips tingle. At $1 each, I by richard Lambert usually order these tacos by the plateful.

Santa BarBara’S Tamale King Shares Excerpt from Forthcoming guide

when a Guadalajara street vendor accidentally dropped his customer’s torta into a pot of sauce, this “drowned sandwich” was born. Mexico City’s version features chunks of braised pork stuffed inside a crunchy birote roll and then bathed in a savory sauce spiced with chiles de árbol, clove, cinnamon, and cumin. So messy but so wonderful.

Tlacoyo: As a tamale chef who works with corn

masa, I was immediately curious when I saw my first tlacoyo, a midnight-blue, torpedo-shaped patty which translates to “snack” in the Aztec language, Nahuatl. The well-made tlacoyo is crisp on the outside with a creamy interior. Blue corn masa is used most often, and the patty is stuffed with either bean paste or cheese. Though eaten without toppings in most parts of Mexico, Mexico City residents decorate theirs with diced nopales (cactus), crumbly cotija cheese, salsa, cilantro, and raw onions. Almost all tlacoyo stands are one-person operations run by women.

Machete: Relatively new to the city, this street

food derives its name from its shape. Picture a 24-inch-long quesadilla draped across two din-

Chilaquiles: In Mexico City, there are more eggs consumed per capita than in any other city in the world. I’m sure this is due in part to the popularity of chilaquiles, a breakfast and brunch dish that dates back to the Aztecs. Originally created as a way of repurposing day-old corn tortillas, chilaquiles are beautiful due to their versatility: using either red or green salsa and scrambled eggs, and often adding pieces of chicken, maybe a topping of crema with rings of white onion. A variety of optional garnishes are also used, such as avocado, queso fresco, and cilantro.

My personal favorite is served at Sanborns House of Tiles. Their carefully layered, lasagna-style chilaquiles inspired me to create my own version, which is included in my cookbook, Preheat to 350 Degrees. Of course, street vendors throughout Mexico City serve their own interpretations, and many are excellent. n

PASCUCCI GOLETA UPDATE: Owner

Laura Knight offers the latest from Pascucci, 6920 Marketplace Drive in Goleta: “Hi John, I hope you are having a great Summer! A few updates on Pascucci at the Marketplace: We are all settled in, so we have now introduced our lunch and dinner specials, which are very popular at our downtown location. Our lunch special is a choice of 2 salads, choice of 3 entrees, with a soft drink or S.B. Roasting Company mango iced tea for $12.99.

It’s a great option for folks that have to be in and out quickly. Our dinner special is a choice of 2 salads, choice of 3 entrees, choice of a glass of house wine or any tap or bottled beer, and a choice of 3 desserts, all for $21.99 ($23.99 on weekends).

Also, we will be starting Happy Hour next week, 7 days a week, from 3-5:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 3-5 p.m. Friday-Sunday. We have a huge dogfriendly patio, which is now more shady with the new awning installed.”

THE GARDEN OPENS: Reader Annie says

that The Garden in the Santa Barbara Public Market at 38 West Victoria Street is now open for lunch and dinner.

PRIMETIME CARPINTERIA UPDATE: Reader Primetime says that Nutbelly at 915 Linden Avenue, Carpinteria, has a new seating option: a long bench that runs from the door to the counter. Rite Aid at 801 Linden Avenue recently started serving ice cream, and did not have ice cream before. PizzaMan Dan’s is well under way; green fencing is up, and when it is open, I am told that it will be no secret to Carpinteria because Dan likes to do coupons, he has a monster truck that says “PizzaMan Dan’s,” and he has a Corvette that looks like a pepperoni pizza slice.

¡VIVA LA FIESTA! El Mercado de la Guerra

and El Mercado del Norte are up and running this week. Stroll through a colorful Mexican market to feast on Spanish- and Mexican-American foods, shop for crafts and souvenirs, and enjoy live entertainment all day and into the evening.

These festive street fairs are located downtown in De la Guerra Plaza and at MacKenzie Park, 3111 State Street. During the many fiestas prior to the first Old Spanish Days Fiesta in 1924, booths were set up in various locations in the city. Merchandise was sold and food and entertainment provided. These centers came to serve as the marketplaces for the fiesta. This custom has continued and became an established part of Old Spanish Days. Until 1949, the mercados took on a variety of personalities; in 1949, however, the foundation for the present mercado was laid.

Rosario Andrea Curletti was in charge of the mercados that year and insisted all things having to do with the mercado be authentic. Robert Hoyt, a well-known architect, designed and constructed the booths reflective of true mercado puestos and helped determine the rent to be charged in order that the mercados be self-supporting. For the first time, each booth was sponsored by a nonprofit or religious organization of the City of Santa Barbara and the revenue earned was to be used for the organizations. The food, beverage, candy, and merchandise sold were limited to the items that would be found in a mercado of the Spanish and Mexican California period.

M

onday, August 1, 10 a.m., marked Edith Ziliotto’s return to 415 East De la Guerra Street, where a ribbon cutting signaled the grand opening of Nona’s Italian Deli, offering classic Italian food from northern Italy, in the same building where Edith and her former husband,Valentino, who passed away in 2014, served hungry customers since 1976. When I attended Santa Barbara High School a few blocks away, a visit to 415 East De la Guerra Street was a daily ritual. In addition to their famous deli and classic Italian food, Nona’s offers a grab-and-go selection including lasagna, salads, yogurt, tiramisu, hummus, chiles rellenos, and more. Nona’s now offers indoor seating, where customers have the option of enjoying beer or wine with their meal. While I enjoyed a fabulous sub sandwich, I was told that the store was receiving a large shipment of specialty Italian goods not available elsewhere in Santa Barbara County.

After their soft opening a week ago, longtime customers have stopped in to give Ziliotto flowers and cards to welcome her back.“Nona” means grandma in Italian, and Ziliotto runs the business with her many grandchildren. Two years ago, she welcomed the birth of her great-great-grandchild.

Ziliotto moved to America in 1949 as a teenager from Gera Lario on the shores of Lago di Como in Italy. Five year later, she moved to Santa Barbara, where she has been ever since. Hours are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday. Call 770-3665 or visit facebook.com/ nonassbitaliandeli.

Sip This

Nectar’s Mango Purée Margarita: What’s the best way to enjoy Fiesta but keep your waistline trim and fight the overindulgent guilt that comes after Old Spanish Days is done? Tequila!

The Mexican liquor made from the agave plant is full of agavins, the nondigestible sugars that come from agave. The American Chemical Society found that mice who’d been given a standard diet and then drank water with agavins added ate less overall, had lower blood sugar levels, and kept their stomachs full longer than those mice who hadn’t consumed agavins. This led researchers to believe that agavins could be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes or struggling with weight-loss issues.

Now, I’m not suggesting you start chugging margaritas, but tequila can be a healthier option when it comes to indulging with alcohol. Even smarter? Go for a tequila drink that uses fruit purée instead of simple syrup, like the mango purée margarita at Nectar Eatery & Lounge (20 E. Cota St., nectarsb.com, 899-4694).

According to Nectar mixologist Jamie Rocha, this drink is “the freshest you can get without puréeing the mango at home.” I’ll drink to that!

and covers galore, all intermingling into the fluid thread of sounds stitching centuries past to celebrations today. From the top to bottom of State Street, here are some of the musical highlights to include on your party procession.

CHOOSE YOUR GROOVE: When it comes to instant energizers, few things beat a good beat, and several of this Fiesta’s headlining acts bring the kind of big-percussion platter perfect for pumping up a party. On Thursday-Friday, August 4-5, Casa Cantina (Casa de la Guerra, 15 E. De la Guerra St.) will be pepped up with funk-soul music from The Bomb and catchy cumbia from Buyepongo (8pm), making it no doubt the most happening little cantina in town at

Also on Saturday, livening up El Mercado del Norte (Mackenzie Park, State St. and Las Positas Rd.) will be S.B.’s Anthony Prieto Band (8:45pm), who will close out the festival in fine form with an 11-piece band mixing up world music and funk-inspired sounds — you may need a new pair of insoles after so much polyrhythm. Finally, over at Velvet

by SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). On Friday, August 5, El Mercado de la Guerra welcomes the soulful sensations of The New Vibe (8pm) just as the sun will have begun to set, assuring a very smooth transition into night. Beginning at noon on Saturday, Vincent Zorn will freshen up Casa Cantina with gypsy rumba guitar, and from late afternoon on, El Mercado del Norte will have a satisfying set of soul songs, starting with Xenia Flores (4:15pm), a rising singer/ songwriter with a soul-bearing voice, and continuing on with two soulfully enriching reggae-based acts, S.B.’s much-loved Cornerstone (4:55pm) and The Upbeat (6:45pm), who, for year after year, have kept S.B. smiling widely with their Channel Islands take on island vibes.

ON THE ROCKS: A few acts will give you the opportunity to rock out with your rocks out. Starting on Wednesday at El Mercado de la Guerra (8pm) and returning Thursday at El Mercado del Norte (8pm), much-adored S.B. act and frequent Fiesta party-starters RedFish Anthony Prieto Band are back with huge riffs and classic rock power.

The familiar sounds of trumpets, guitars, and vocal harmonies swirl around the S.B. Bowl every August when some of the world’s best mariachi groups gather for the Old Spanish Days Mariachi Festival. This year, the event takes place on August 6 at the Bowl and includes a grand lineup with the following acts:

Aida Cuevas: Often referred to as “The Queen of Ranchera

Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles: This all-female mariachi ensemble was established in 1994 and has since shared the stage with world-renowned musicians, such as Vikki Carr and Guadalupe Pineda, and performed for high-

profile celebrities including Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey, and Barack and Michelle Obama.

Lila Downs: The singer/songwriter performs popular and traditional Mexican music as well as her own originals, into which she often incorporates indigenous Mexican influences and languages. She has one Grammy Award and two Latin Grammy Awards.

s soon as there was a semblance of a Santa Barbara, music was there.

Music accompanied the completion and dedication of the Mission Santa Barbara in 1820, where traditional Chumash tunes shared the air with Spanish song; music and revelries remained with rancho life ’til the very end, until a drought turned a new page on history.

Music, of course, remains with Santa Barbara’s parties and pastimes right up to our present Fiesta, with barely a public park or major street unmoved by the pulse-like bass of mariachi or the rhythms of rock, reggae,

Reynaldo aceves, a

Fiesta Guitarist Growing up and going to Fiesta, I would watch my godfather, Reynaldo Aceves, perform on his guitar.

He used to teach me guitar, take me to piano lessons, and encourage my musical growth. During his career, he established himself as a successful modern-day troubadour, performing for radio, television, hotels, and cruise ships and becoming a familiar face for Santa Barbara’s Old Spanish Days.

A self-taught musician, Aceves was born in Mexico City in 1926. He first came to Santa Barbara on a Californian tour with the quintet Los Hermanos Reyes, playing rancheros, huapangos, and boleros. He played in Federico’s restaurant in Buellton for three years until he was contracted to play at the MGM hotel in Las Vegas, where he lived for five years. During his Vegas residency, he was also contracted to play on a cruise ship for seven weeks and to perform in Taiwan for 10 days; during the winter and spring seasons he would play in Puerto Vallarta at the Sheraton and Fiesta Americana hotel.

By the time he returned to Santa Barbara, he had recorded a solo LP, Sangre Romántica, in Los Angeles and had been featured in three Mexican TV shows, including El club del hogar, Lluvia de estrellas, and Hondo. He performed original music at the S.B. radio station KTMS and was featured in the Santa Barbara News-Press. He performed regularly at the original Harbor restaurant, The Biltmore, Papagallo’s, and El Paseo.

In 2000, he was featured as an extra in the TV movie Missing Pieces with James Coburn. Filmed locally, the production needed a guitar trio for a scene, and Aceves jumped at the chance. He asked one fellow extra to hold the maracas and another guy to hold the guitar while he sang and played for the group.

He recalls being in the ’46 Fiesta parade, and in ’72 he would accompany El Presidente to perform for all his presentations. Carrying on the family’s involvement with Old Spanish Days, his stepson, Roger Aceves, was the Fiesta El Presidente in 2001. — Gustavo Uribe

Fierce Generosity: The

Carolyn GlasoeBailey MeMorial exhiBiTion

At Porch Gallery Ojai. Shows through August 21.

W

hile you may not immediately recognize her name, if you follow contemporary art in Santa Barbara, you’ve felt the influence of the late Carolyn GlasoeBailey, the art dealer and former Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB) board chair who died in November 2015 after battling glioblastoma brain cancer. GlasoeBailey was only 46 when she died, and she leaves behind not only her husband, Chris Bailey, but also her 9-year-old son, Matson West Bailey, and many friends, artists, and clients who will miss her vitality, self-assurance, and aesthetic judgment very much. As part of the process of grieving for a woman who was by all accounts an extraordinarily positive force in the contemporary art world, and as a way of moving forward with her legacy, her family has established a foundation in her honor. This exhibit, Fierce Generosity at Porch Gallery in Ojai, continues GlasoeBailey’s work in forwarding the careers of emerging and mid-career artists, and fulfills her wish that this work be carried on after her passing.

As a successful art dealer, GlasoeBailey represented a kind of double anomaly. Not only was she a woman in a scene still dominated by men — she was a prodigy in a world that typically makes people wait a long time before giving them a chance to perform in a leading role. She opened her first gallery when she was just 19 in her hometown of Minneapolis. For five years, GlasoeBailey and partner Kim Montgomery tirelessly promoted the careers of such talented Minnesota artists as Rob Fischer, Todd Norsten, and David Rathman, at the same time developing a strong working relationship with Richard Flood and other influential curators at the Walker Art Center. From there she made

her way to Los Angeles, where she met her husband, and then to New York City, where she founded the Dee Glasoe Gallery in 2000.

After September 11, 2001, GlasoeBailey and her family began spending more time at their home in Ojai, a mid-century modern house

by Kazumi Adachi on the east side of town that they painstakingly restored and filled with fabulous contemporary art.

At Porch, the artists who worked with GlasoeBailey have come together and donated more than three dozen works in her memory. Many of them acknowledge the tragic circumstances of the show, and none more viscerally than Chris Larson, whose black-and-white digital print “Celebration/ Love/Loss” (2013) shows the frame of a ranch house in flames. The catalog includes an introduction by MCASB Executive Director and Chief Curator Miki Garcia, who credits GlasoeBailey with bringing her to Santa Barbara, and short statements about GlasoeBailey from each of the artists in the exhibition. In his contribution, painter Peter Rostovsky remembers a time when GlasoeBailey confessed that she dreamed of being an air traffic controller because she loved being responsible for high-stakes decisions. He comments on this by writing that “she always did seem dauntless and able to cut through complex situations with a remarkable sense of courage, poise, and reason. I know that I am not the only one to say that there was no one better to have by your side or in your corner than Carolyn. She had your back.”

The theme of this show is the light that this woman threw onto the talents and achievements of others, and it is clear from the results that in this way, she still has her friends’ backs.

AN HOMAGE: Alec Soth’s photo “Brittany, France, 2007” (above) is just one of the pieces by various artists in the show Fierce Generosity, a memorial to Carolyn GlasoeBailey, who was known for forwarding the careers of emerging and mid-career visual artists.

BIG NIÑO: Featuring shots of S.B. madman Matt Becker free-falling down the face of a monster wave at Mavericks (above) and beautiful, empty waves (below), Seth de Roulet’s 20@17 photo exhibit documents an epic winter of surf.

With the dry a jet ski, swimming under flawless and empty saltwater caves, and holding his ground in the gladiator pit of a highperformance surf orgy, de Roulet kept getting the shot. “Obviously, we had a lot of waves,” offered de Roulet recently, a hint of his native East Coast sarcasm creeping around the edges. “There was so much work for me do. It was endless.”

And while these efforts led directly to a smattering of printed pages in the magazine and scores of online photo galleries, de Roulet still felt that the lion’s share of his best work from this most memorable winter had yet to be shared.

Sustainable Heart

O Miss Sharon Jones!

(93 mins.; NR)

Part of the localized power of this inspiring film by documentarian Barbara (Harlan County U.S.A.) Kopple, about old-school soul star Sharon Jones’s struggle with pancreatic cancer, will be amplified for anyone who caught her give riveting, livewire performances at the Santa Barbara Bowl and Campbell Hall shortly after her first brush with illness and treatments. Jones rose to great heights, in mid-life, as a commanding Daptone Records/DapKings-accompanied sensation out of Brooklyn, and her infectious, funk-ified zeal transcends her struggles to “kick cancer in the ass.” Her latest album is Give the People What They Want Want— which she has, and does, in this film and on stages everywhere. (JW) Sun.-Wed., Aug. 7-10, Riviera

nOW SHOWing OBad Moms

(101 mins., R)

It’s funny because it’s true, this comedy about the immense pressure of responsibilities and expectations facing modern mothers, starring Mila Kunis as an overworked, under-joyed mom who decides to live a little more freely.

The jokes are good-natured if a little ordinary, and what it lacks in creative edge it makes up for in the pertinence and timeliness of its much-needed comic takedown of domestic inequalities. (RD) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

a&e | film & TV cont’d from p. 61 Hunt for the Wilderpeople (101 mins., PG-13) 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.

Plaza de Oro

Anthropoid Café Society (96 mins., PG-13) The pressing question with any new Woody Allen film: Where does it register in the ranks of his massive filmography? Café Society is neither a dazzler nor a dozer in the oeuvre, but it rewards a look-see, especially as a rare example of a period piece in sync with his obsessive ’30s-era musical tastes (e.g., Rodgers and Hart’s anthemic “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was”), flitting from the pre-World War II Hollywood scene to the gangster-ized N.Y.C. nightclub scene with a beauteous visual glow, and wildly varying degrees of dramatic-comic focus. It’s also a tale of three in love with Kristen Stewart— Stewart her mid-lifer agent boss (Steve Carell), his New Yorker nephew (Jesse Eisenberg), and Allen’s unabashedly smitten camera. (JW) Paseo Nuevo/Riviera 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

OGhostbusters

(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)

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)/Fiesta 5 (2D) Jason Bourne (123 mins., PG-13) Welcome back to the gray-green world of Paul Greengrass’s mighty moneymaking Bourne franchise. This time our reluctant murdering semiautomaton and title hero has been fished out of obscurity by Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) so he can disrupt the cowardly CIA from corrupting an idealist of the Silicon Valley persuasion. The plot is as murky as the director’s vision: Even Las Vegas seems like an existential destination, though the car chase through downtown and The Strip livens up the Bourne self-repeating plot mechanism. (DJP) Camino Real/Metro 4

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 good-

natured 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) Fairview/Fiesta 5

ONerve

(96 mins., PG-13)

This slow-starting thriller builds inexorably into something great and unexpected. Nerve begins like standardissue high school melodrama— melodrama the dorky kids and the cute kids miscommunicating badly across the class lines of a Staten Island football field— field when an act of gratuitous exhibitionism signals a dive into a world where an online game turns terrifying and Manhattan becomes an all-night opportunity for moral shortcomings. It’s suspenseful, beautifully made, a bit preachy at the end, and obviously open for sequels, but fun. (DJP) Fairview/Fiesta 5

OThe 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. (DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

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. Kirk thinks his life has become “episodic”; Spock wants off to pursue his Vulcan-ness. 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)

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): I apologize in advance for the seemingly excessive abundance of good news I’m about to report. If you find it hard to believe, I won’t hold your skepticism against you. But I do want you to know that every prediction is warranted by the astrological omens. Ready for the onslaught? (1) In the coming weeks, you could fall forever out of love with a wasteful obsession. (2) You might also start falling in love with a healthy obsession. (3) You can half-accidentally snag a blessing you have been half-afraid to want. (4) You could recall a catalytic truth whose absence has been causing you a problem ever since you forgot it. (5) You could reclaim the mojo that you squandered when you pushed yourself too hard a few months ago.

(June 21 - July 22): It’s your lucky day! Spiritual counsel comparable to what you’re reading here usually sells for $99.95. But because you’re showing signs that you’re primed to outwit bad habits, I’m offering it at no cost. I want to encourage you! Below are my ideas for what you should focus on. (But keep in mind that I don’t expect you to achieve absolute perfection.) (1) Wean yourself from indulging in self-pity and romanticized pessimism. (2) Withdraw from connections with people who harbor negative images of you. (3) Transcend low expectations wherever you see them in play. (4) Don’t give your precious life energy to demoralizing ideas and sour opinions.

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): Could it be true that the way out is the same as the way in? And that the so-called “wrong” answer is almost indistinguishable from the right answer? And that success, at least the kind of success that really matters, can only happen if you adopt an upside-down, inside-out perspective? In my opinion, the righteous answer to all these questions is “YESSS???!!!”— at least for now. I suspect that the most helpful approach will never be as simple or as hard as you might be inclined to believe.

might get a glimpse of a solution to a nagging problem while you’re petting a donkey or paying your bills or waiting in a long line at the bank. Catch my drift, Capricorn? I may or may not be speaking metaphorically here. You could meditate up a perfect storm as you devour a doughnut. While flying high over the earth in a dream, you might spy a treasure hidden in a pile of trash down below. If I were going to give your immediate future a mythic title, it might be “Finding the Sacred in the Midst of the Profane.”

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

TAURUS

(July 23 - Aug. 22): You’re not doing a baby chick a favor by helping it hatch. For the sake of its well-being, the bird needs to peck its way out of the egg. It’s got to exert all of its vigor and willpower in starting its new life. That’s a good metaphor for you to meditate on. As you escape from your comfortable womb-jail and launch yourself toward inspiration, it’s best to rely as much as possible on your own instincts. Friendly people who would like to provide assistance may inadvertently cloud your access to your primal wisdom.

Trust yourself deeply and wildly.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Your strength seems to make some people uncomfortable. I don’t want that to become a problem for you. Maybe you could get away with toning down your potency at other times, but not now.

It would be sinful to act as if you’re not as competent and committed to excellence as you are. But having said that, I also urge you to monitor your behavior for excess pride. Some of the resistance you face when you express your true glory may be due to the shadows cast by your true glory. You could be tempted to believe that your honorable intentions excuse secretive manipulations. So please work on wielding your clout with maximum compassion and responsibility.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): I’ve worked hard for many years to dismantle my prejudices. To my credit, I have even managed to cultivate compassion for people I previously demonized, like evangelical Christians, drunken jocks, arrogant gurus, and career politicians. But I must confess that there’s still one group toward which I’m bigoted: super-rich bankers. I wish I could extend to them at least a modicum of amiable impartiality. How about you, Aquarius? Do you harbor any hidebound biases that shrink your ability to see life as it truly is? Have you so thoroughly rationalized certain narrow-minded perspectives and judgmental preconceptions that your mind is permanently closed? If so, now is a favorable time to dissolve the barriers and stretch your imagination way beyond its previous limits.

(Apr. 20 - May 20): August is Adopt-a-Taurus month.

It’s for all of your tribe, not just the orphans and exiles and disowned rebels. Even if you have exemplary parents, the current astrological omens suggest that you require additional support and guidance from wise elders. So I urge you to be audacious in rounding up trustworthy guardians and benefactors. Go in search of mentors and fairy godmothers. Ask for advice from heroes who are further along the path that you’d like to follow. You are ready to receive teachings and direction you weren’t receptive to before.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): When a parasite or other irritant slips inside an oyster’s shell, the mollusk’s immune system besieges the intruder with successive layers of calcium carbonate. Eventually, a pearl may form. I suspect that this is a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming days as you deal with the salt in your wound or the splinter in your skin. Before you jump to any conclusions, though, let me clarify. This is not a case of the platitude “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Keep in mind that the pearl is a symbol of beauty and value, not strength.

Homework: What if you didn’t feel compelled to have an opinion about every hot-button issue?

Try living opinion-free for a week. Testify at truthrooster@gmail.com.

LEO

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): I hear you’re growing weary of wrestling with ghosts. Is that true? I hope so. The moment you give up the fruitless struggle, you’ll become eligible for a unique kind of freedom that you have not previously imagined. Here’s another rumor I’ve caught wind of: You’re getting bored with an old source of sadness that you’ve used to motivate yourself for a long time. I hope that’s true, too. As soon as you shed your allegiance to the sadness, you will awaken to a sparkling font of comfort you’ve been blind to. Here’s one more story I’ve picked up through the grapevine: You’re close to realizing that your attention to a mediocre treasure has diverted you from a more pleasurable treasure. Hallelujah!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Did you honestly imagine that there would eventually come a future when you’d have your loved ones fully “trained”? Did you fantasize that sooner or later you could get them under control, purged of their imperfections and telepathically responsive to your every mood? If so, now is a good time to face the fact that those longings will never be fulfilled. You finally have the equanimity to accept your loved ones exactly as they are. Uncoincidentally, this adjustment will make you smarter about how to stir up soulful joy in your intimate relationships.

PISCES

CAPRICORN

(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Are you lingering at the crux of the crossroads, restless to move on but unsure of which direction will lead you to your sweet destiny?

Are there too many theories swimming around in your brain, clogging up your intuition? Have you absorbed the opinions of so many “experts” that you’ve lost contact with your own core values?

It’s time to change all that. You’re ready to quietly explode in a calm burst of practical lucidity. First steps: Tune out all the noise. Shed all the rationalizations. Purge all the worries. Ask yourself,“What is the path with heart?”

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): You may experience a divine visitation as you clean a toilet in the coming weeks. You

CORRAL aka AMELIA FRANCES CORRAL A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: TERI NEAL in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that (name): TERI NEAL be appointed as personal representative 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 8/25/2016 AT 9:00 a.m.

Dept: Five 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.
