Cover STORY

With the topic of this week’s cover story diving into Proposition 64 and the potential legalization of recreational pot, we had to ask the writer the question. After a moment of thought, Tyler Hayden replied only that the edibles he’d seen looked so delicious, it kind of freaked him out: “You just don’t know the potency, and people get themselves in trouble.” The Indy news editor got no trouble from his sources, however. “Most people were super forthright,” he said of the collective owners and substance-abuse experts he talked with. “They were honest and unafraid” — and well-versed on the upcoming ballot measure, which you will be, too. The reading begins on page 23.

101 Decongestant on Time-Release

CHOKED, SMOKED, AND CROAKED: The Casitas Pass freeway bridge strains under the intense demand of early-morning rush hour.

Carpinteria Bridge Expansion Projects May, In Years, Offer Relief

T

by N i c k W e l s h

he new, bigger, wider Highway 101 bridges that will someday carry Casitas Pass Road and Linden Avenue in Carpinteria may never rival the San Francisco Bay Bridge for sheer visual wallop, but to many Carpinteria residents stranded by early-morning congestion, the $100 million expansions may bring some hint of relief.

The two projects are necessary for the Highway 101 widening to proceed; for many Carpinterians and commuters from Ventura County forced to brave intense northbound morning gridlock, the widening has long been regarded as a no-brainer. How soon relief will come, however, remains a matter of conjecture. Construction—which has yet to actually start—is scheduled to take four years. In the meantime, business owners in downtown Carpinteria are anxious about inevitable disruptions the complex endeavor will inflict on their customers and their bottom lines.

Yet this Monday morning it was all smiles and optimism as Caltrans statewide czar Malcolm Dougherty showed up with a silver shovel for the ceremonial groundbreaking event, attended by a flotilla of Carpinteria officials, 1st District County Supervisor Salud Carbajal, and State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson. Actual construction won’t start for some time to come. The wheels of justice, it is said, grind exceedingly slow, but nothing compared to the pace of freeway widening.

The planning process for the new bridges commenced back in the mid-1990s. For many moons, the City of Carpinteria and Caltrans found themselves at bitter loggerheads over the design, dimension, and aesthetics of the 8

new structures. As current city manager Dave Durflinger described it, the original Caltrans plans were “overdone and too vanilla” for Carpinteria’s taste. Eventually, Caltrans would create a local design review board made up of various stakeholders and state engineers to hammer out an acceptable compromise; after six months of meetings around a middle school cafeteria table, a deal was hashed out.

Because the footings for the new bridges impinge upon agricultural land and creek drainage, City Hall had to amend its fundamental planning documents. That leverage —coupled with the insistence of the California Coastal Commission — requires the new project to include two new stretches of coastal bike lanes, one to the west of Santa Claus Lane and the other linking downtown Carpinteria to the Rincon. No funding, however, has been identified for these projects, which each cost in the neighborhood of $7 million.

The Rincon Trail — further along in the design review process — has twice sought statewide transportation grants and twice come up short. Whenever built, these additional lanes will help fill in key gaps in what could one day become a new and scenic coastal bikeway. Not coincidentally, a host of movers and shakers assembled last Friday to exalt at the tourist-drawing potential of the new and improved bike lanes.

This project was the joint brainchild of Supervisor Carbajal and Ventura Supervisor Steve Bennett, who, unlike Carbajal, actually wears Lycra and whose wife is reportedly an ardent cyclist. The group exclaimed over the growth of tourist-related businesses drawing on the Central Coastal as a destination for cycling enthusiasts.“You know what they say: Cycling is becoming the new golf,” explained

Ed France, head of the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition.

Many of the growing legion of cycling tourists, he said, are of advanced years and seeking vigorous activities that inflict low impact on the body. And Santa Barbara hotels are making a conspicuous point to provide bicycles for guests. The new group, France said, would promote cycling via a myriad of social media options with about $30,000 in funding collected from the public and private stakeholders meeting over the past two years.

France was mindful that funding for the two new bike paths necessary to make the coastal bikeway a reality remained hypothetical. “It’s problematic,” he said. “They’ve been advertised as the smiling, happy face of the 101 widening project, and we’re going to make sure that promise is kept,” he said.

In the City of Santa Barbara, where public sentiment about the freeway widening is more complicated, City Hall remains poised to see the first draft of the revised environmental impact report for the freeway project. Early this year, Judge Thomas Anderle ruled the environmental analysis was flawed because it failed to account for the significant congestion problems the freeway-widening project would cause for 18 Santa Barbara intersections. The report prepared by Caltrans declared that congestion for those intersections should not be considered “significant” in light of the broader benefits the project would generate. Anderle disagreed. The new report is due out sometime in the next two months, and it remains to be seen how many of those impacted intersections are deemed “significant,” what alternatives are listed, and what, if any, mitigations are proposed.

Former KEYT news anchor Paula Lopez (pictured) is suing her former employer and its parent company, NPG of California, for a long list of alleged labor code violations.

Lopez, 51, was demoted then fired last year after two drunk-driving arrests and a mysterious disappearance. Lopez alleges KEYT fired her without just cause, claiming she was discriminated against for being middleaged, Hispanic, and suffering from alcoholism. She says she was replaced by young, white anchors with less experience and lower ratings. Lopez’s attorney, Janean Daniels, said her client is coping with alcoholism, “a legally protected disability under state and federal law.” Daniels added, “We hope that Paula’s struggle will help raise awareness regarding this devastating disease and trust that ultimately, justice will be done.”

KEYT general manager Mark Danielson said: “NPG of California does not comment on current or former employees and it cannot comment on any potential litigation.”

Two men reported missing from Lompoc on 9/7 were found dead the afternoon of 9/11 near their car, which had had plunged 500 feet over the side of Gibraltar Road. A hang glider spotted the wreckage and notified authorities. David Esquivel, 24, of Santa Maria, and Oscar Hernandez, 23, of Lompoc, had both been ejected from the vehicle and were declared dead at the scene. The incident remains under investigation.

Robert Lorin Musich was arrested in Pomona on 9/1 on a bench warrant from Santa Barbara County for a fire inspection scam in several California counties. District Attorney’s Office investigators had looked for Musich, following a trail of invoices he’d mailed to businesses for $411.11. Nearly 900 businesses had paid the invoice, including 10 in S.B., for “an annual state required fire safety equipment inspection, test and certification” by Red Mountain Security and Fire Protection or RMS. All invoices amounted to more than $200,000 total. Musich was arraigned on 9/9.

Charles A. Banks — a former Santa Barbara resident whose Terroir Capital firm is partial owner of Qupé Winery among other worldwide brands — was indicted on federal wire fraud charges related to investments he made on behalf of basketball star Tim Duncan. Banks turned himself in to San Antonio

Parental Nightmare

Judge Brian Hill ruled there was ample evidence to warrant a full criminal trial against Matthew Robert Torres, accused of slipping quietly into the second-story studio apartment rented by a family of British tourists this May, sliding into the bed shared by the two young daughters, and molesting them. If the case goes to trial and Torres is convicted, he’s looking at life behind bars.

Torres, known to Santa Barbara City Police since 2009, broke into the studio — one door was unlocked — around 4 a.m. on July 23, got in bed with the two girls, pulled down their pants, and licked “their unseeables.” When he forcibly tried to get the older, age 7, to do the same to him, she resisted. When he then yanked her by the arm, she worried Matthew Torres — according to the testimony of three police officers — he was trying to “steal” her. He then focused his attentions on the younger girl, age 5, hoisting her into the air and kissing her bottom. She kicked her feet at him, and he threw her to the bed. At that point, Torres reportedly walked to the parents’ bed and woke the father, either by grabbing his foot — according to police officers’ testimony — or by licking it. Officer Richard Washington testified that the girls’ father described Torres as being “very calm and matter of fact” and announced that his name was “Matthew.” The father quickly escorted Torres out of the apartment and then called 9-1-1.

Bruce Porter The District Attorney’s Office is looking into the origins of a 3rd District supervisor race political poll portrayed as sponsored by the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business (better known as COLAB), which the organization vehemently denied. COLAB director Andy Caldwell speculated the pollster could be sponsored by candidate Joan Hartmann’s campaign or an independent group trying to gauge how a particular issue influences 3rd District voters. So-called push polls pretend to gather information but try to influence voters’ perception of candidates. Hartmann’s campaign manager, Mary Rose, denied any involvement and noted an independent expenditure committee has not been set up for the candidate. Candidate Bruce Porter, however, does have an independent expen-

diture committee —“Keep Santa Barbara County Working, a Committee sponsored by energy producers to elect Bruce Porter”— Porter” set up for him. It has raised $60,000. Porter said he does not have any contact with that group and denied involvement with the poll.

Bob Field, a Republican and former supervisorial candidate, announced last week he is supporting Democrat Joan Hartmann over Republican Bruce Porter in the race to represent Santa Barbara County’s 3rd District.

Field said, for him, the key county issue in the contest is preserving the Santa Ynez Valley’s rural character. He said Hartmann is the “only one who serves this goal.” Field joins former right-wing candidate Karen Jones in supporting Hartmann.

A federal effort to better protect vulnerable neighborhoods from wildfire has gained ground with the launch of the Santa Barbara Mountain Communities Defense Zone Project. Los Padres National Forest Initiative aims to create and improve fire breaks in the Painted Cave, Trout Club, Haney Tract, Rosario Park, Refugio, and Gaviota areas, where private property is surrounded by federal lands choked with dead trees and drought-ravaged chaparral. The clearing and chipping may start this winter, as firefighting teams regroup after the current wildfire season.

state Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill this week that will require employers to pay overtime to farmworkers who work more than 40 hours in a week or over eight hours in a day. Proponents argued this bill closes a loophole in overtime pay, as nearly all other hourly jobs

IN FOR THE NIGHT: Two guests of Santa Barbara’s sobering center sleep it off.

i.V. sobering center ‘stuck stuck in the Mud’ s

Hundreds Transported to County Jail Every Year

A

t a recent meeting at Isla Vista Foot Patrol, the room buzzed with surprise when John Doyel, Santa Barbara County drug and alcohol guru, announced he was pulling support for the proposed sobering center, in the works for years. Doyel may have spoken too soon. He has a meeting this week to discuss the project’s future with Supervisor Doreen Farr, who represents Isla Vista. “[It’s] stuck in the mud,” he said.

Two years ago, plans for an I.V. sobering center, formally known as the Safe Center, revived after being dormant for years. Simply put, its purpose is to offer a place for intoxicated young people to sober up — instead of the County Jail. Every weekend, Isla Vista cops arrest scores of drunken people, fearing they are a risk to themselves or others. They are taken to jail, where they spend the evening and could face criminal charges. (That said, District Attorney Joyce Dudley does not often file such cases, which are difficult to prove based on the way the law is written, she said.)

Now optimism about the center’s future depends on to whom you speak.“It’s basically dead in the water,” attorney Robin Unander, who has been closely involved, said in an email. If the county’s Behavioral Wellness department— where Doyel is a director— were no longer the lead agency, she doubted anyone from the university would step in to take the reins.

“Sometimes it feels like it’s two steps forward and one step backward,” said Supervisor Farr, who is retiring at the end of her term this year. Farr heard about the project during her first campaign for supervisor in 2008. “We’re closer now than we’ve ever been.”

Most people support the concept in theory, but— but like many things in Isla Vista— Vista its progress has been slow. Logistical roadblocks have stalled it. For starters, its proposed location — the first floor of the I.V. clinic building — shares a parking lot with the clinic and a park, where children are present during the day. Its hours of operation were also at issue.

Originally it was slated to be open Thursday afternoon to Sunday, around the clock. But concerns from other clinic tenants reduced its purposed schedule to be weekend overnight hours.

And the funding model remains amorphous. On two occasions — once in 2014

by the student body and once this year by the student senate—a student lock-in fee to improve safety in Isla Vista failed. The center would also be paid for by a $300 fee by patients, who would also be required to complete an alcohol and drug course. (Earlier this year, I.V. developer Ed St. George pledged to donate $50,000 to renovate the space.)

Though the UC Police Department had previously expressed concerns, Lt. Mark Signa said he was optimistic about the center’s future.“It’s not easy,” he said.“There are a lot of little things that need to be worked out.” Signa said he was not aware of similar centers near other UC campuses.

Debbie Fleming, UCSB’s associate vice chancellor for Student Affairs, said the plans stalled “not due to lack of support or interest on the part of those who were involved in the initial discussion” but rather funding challenges. She added,“If the community services district is supported in the upcoming election, and with full implementation this fall of UCIV, a public volunteer program, it’s possible the community will want to revisit the goals or the format of a sobering or safe center.”

The sobering center in the City of Santa Barbara—a model for this one—saves police officers considerable time that they would otherwise have spent transporting drunken subjects to County Jail, said police Sergeant Riley Harwood.

Last year in Isla Vista, there were 458 public intoxication arrests, which decreased since 2013, when there were 671. All arrestees were booked, some overnight. From 2011-2014, roughly 850 alcohol-related ambulance trips were made on Fridays and Saturdays from Isla Vista to Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, a minimum $1,400 cost. Most of those people, however, would probably still be transported to the hospital for a medical evaluation rather than checked into a sobering center should one be established, said AMR Operations Director Dave Schierman.

Ultimately, Doyel was unsure if there is enough support—financially or philosophically—from all stakeholders to make it work, though he emphasized the center’s revolutionary nature. “It’s a huge project,” he said.

“I don’t think anyone went into it with any illusions.”

receive the benefit. Opponents charged the law will merely force farmers to hire more workers rather than pay existing employees for long days. The law will phase in from 2019-2022 (for farms with more than 25 employees) and from 2019-2025 for smaller farms (with less than 25 employees).

State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson’s bill to extend paid family-leave job protection for working parents passed the State Legislature but still needs the signature of Gov. Jerry Brown to become law. The bill was bitterly opposed by the California Chamber of Commerce, which dubbed it a “job killer.”

Though Jackson made several amendments — increasing the size of the businesses affected to those with 20-49 employees and pushing back when the bill goes into effect — the Chamber never relented. The bill is designed to extend job protections that currently exist at employers of more than 50 people that allow parents to take time off to tend to their newborns.

people Before Stanley Sheinbaum — who died this week at age 96 — gained renown as a major mover and shaker in Los Angeles progressive circles, he helped found a left-wing alternative newsweekly in Santa Barbara — the News & Review — where he also ran twice for Congress as an anti-Vietnam War activist. Sheinbaum moved to Santa Barbara in 1960 as a research economist with the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, then one of the nation’s premier left-leaning think tanks in a town better known for its right-wing sensibilities. After leaving town, Sheinbaum ensconced himself in Brentwood, where he became a force to be reckoned with as a UC Regent, civil libertarian, and left-wing power broker with national clout. n

finally a fix for stinky Bird Refuge?

On and off for more than 80 years, the Andreé Clark Bird Refuge has emanated a rotten-egg stench that wafts far over the east end of Santa Barbara and into Montecito. Occasionally, it smells more like garlicky seafood. A solution to the pungent nuisance has so far evaded City Hall — minutes from a 1933 Parks Commission meeting show it was being discussed even back then — but this week officials announced they may finally be headed toward a fix.

The issue dates back to the late 1920s when the Bird Refuge, once connected to Sycamore Creek and the Pacific Ocean and subject to tidal influence, was dammed in and dredged to ensure water would remain in it year-round. That, however, stymied any natural outflow or replenishment of the 29-acre lake, other than the occasional rainstorm and, from the lawns and golf course above it, constant runoff full of fertilizers and other nutrients. Those nutrients feed algae blooms that eat up all the dissolved oxygen and eventually die, attracting bacteria that munches on the dead material and releases hydrogen sulfide, hence the stench. The unnatural phenomenon has also slowly killed off the small aquatic organisms that feed birds, reducing their numbers and diversity. Previous efforts to aerate the shallow lake, only three feet deep on average, did not work.

In a presentation Tuesday afternoon to the City Council, Creeks Division Manager Cameron Benson requested that a coastal engineering firm be paid up to $150,000 to study the problem and determine the viability of three potential solutions already identified by city staff. The council voted unanimously for the contract. Benson said the first option is to do nothing, to let the Bird Refuge fill in with sediment over the next 100 years. He acknowledged there is little support for that idea. The second option is to improve flushing by modifying the lake’s small dam — called a weir — and its gate at Cabrillo Boulevard and ocean outfall on East Beach. That would cost around $500,000, Benson said. The third option would involve weir improvements, periodic opening of the ocean outfall, partial dredging to create a smaller but deeper lake, habitat restoration, and the creation of a trail around the refuge. That would cost around $2 million.

Benson said his department has been saving funds toward the project and would be applying for grants to help cover the expense. He expects final design plans to be hammered out in spring 2019 with construction tentatively scheduled for June-November 2019. He acknowledged any work in the protected coastal zone will require the approval of many state and federal agencies, and lengthy and complicated process. “This is one of those Rubik’s cubes in our city that we have not been able to figure out,” said Councilmember Bendy White. “I appreciate that one more run is being made at this very difficult and important issue.” Mayor Helene Schneider agreed: “Hopefully by next spring we’ll get some — Tyler Hayden better answers.”

WITHOUT A PADDLE: County water czar Tom Fayram laments the lack of urgency with which the drought has been greeted up until now.

glug, glug, glug Three Steelhead in a Tub; Lawn Ban Looming

W

by N i c k W e l s h

ith California’s drought in its fifth year and Lake Cachuma all but reduced to a proverbial “gob of spit,” the Santa Barbara City Council is finally about to consider whether or not to impose an outright ban on lawn watering. Lake Cachuma is nearly depleted, and the start-up date for the new and improved desal plant has been delayed. City water conservation planners estimate a lawn-watering ban could save 450-1,250 acre-feet a year. This Thursday the water commission will discuss how such a prohibition might be structured, and who would be exempt. Then, on Tuesday, the matter will go before the council, but for discussion only, not action.

Into this dismal situation came the news last week that the State Water Resources Control Board was ordering the Bureau of Reclamation and all water agencies drawing on Lake Cachuma to release five-fold more water into the Santa Ynez River in order to restore endangered steelhead trout populations to “good condition.” The new ruling is intended to affect steelhead during their spawning season — typically the first two months of the year—but it only applies in years with above-average rainfall. There will be less water to go around for sure, but by how much is uncertain.

According to Michael Buckman with the State Water Board, water agencies drawing on Lake Cachuma will have to release 225 acre-feet water more a year from the dam —on average—than they have since 2000.

Such averages, however, mask the volatile complexity of the new approach. In 1967, which had plentiful rainfall, for example, the dam would have had to release nearly 8,000 acre-feet more water, according to Buckman’s estimates. Such required releases will reduce the dam operators’ ability to stockpile water in wet years to use in times of drought.

Buckman thought that could generate shortages as high as 1,500 acre-feet a year or 3,881 over a three-year stretch.

This ruling, still in draft form, reflects the realization that all efforts to restore the steelhead have fallen woefully short. Despite considerable effort and expense, the largest number of adult steelhead counted on the Santa Ynez since 2000 has been just 16.

That was in 2008. Before Lake Cachuma was built, the river teemed with 30,000 steelhead trout. According to the draft report, the dam is responsible for the 99 percent plunge in population by blocking the fish from reaching their prime spawning grounds above the lake. Existing federal regulations only require dam operators to “avoid jeopardy” for the remnant populations. According to the new order, however, they must restore the population to “good condition.” That’s a radical departure. Water agencies will now be required to conduct studies on how to get steelhead above the dam. Previous studies on the same question have concluded such efforts are not feasible. In addition, water agencies will be required to explore ways to eliminate nonnative fish species that have preyed upon steelhead and their spawn.

The draft order, expected to be adopted by the State Water Board later this year, will increase steelhead rearing and spawning habitats. This will be an almost total vindication for the conservation group CalTrout, represented by Santa Barbara’s Environmental Defense Center, which began focusing on steelhead depletion in the Santa Ynez River in 1987.

For Tom Fayram, head of the county’s Water Agency, the directive serves to reinforce what most players already understood: that the amount water agencies can expect to take out of Lake Cachuma needs to go down.

The traditional 25,700 acre-feet safe yield, he said, is clearly a pipe dream. Probably a safer number is below 20,000. And with the new ruling, it will be even less. “Is it 1,000 acrefeet less? Five thousand? Ten thousand?” he asked.“We don’t know yet. “ Into this reality, the Santa Barbara City Council will begin considering whether residents can continue to water their lawns. n

Steve Balash

Darryl Genis

ineffective counsel alleged

Attorney Steve Balash is seeking a new trial for Benjamin Lee Bettencourt — sentenced to five years last year for the death of a passenger in his van during a drunkdriving accident — alleging ineffective representation by Bettencourt’s former defense attorney, Darryl Genis. Balash argued in court papers that Bettencourt should have been called as a witness in his own defense. Because he was not, Balash charged, Genis provided no direct evidence that the victim — Jennifer Clark — grabbed the wheel from Bettencourt and caused the crash herself. Likewise, Balash contended that Genis provided no evidence Bettercourt was diabetic, a fact which could have been used to challenge blood alcohol readings that indicated he was drunk at the time of the accident.

At the time of the accident, Bettencourt was a paraplegic stemming from a prior car crash that left another passenger dead. In that crash, no intoxicants were involved, but Bettencourt was convicted of reckless driving. In his pleading papers, Balash also complained that Genis and his prosecutorial counterpart Kevin Duffy insulted each other so relentlessly that the judge had to repeatedly intervene.

Genis explained in court papers that if Bettencourt had testified — given scheduling particulars idiosyncratic to this case — there would have been an 11-day gap between his first and last days of testimony, which would have given the prosecution undue time to prepare a detailed cross-examination. Ultimately, Genis said, Bettencourt could have testified if he wanted to. “Benjamin Lee Bettencourt is a very intelligent young man who is not a shrinking violet,” Genis stated. He also strongly recommended Bettencourt not take the stand. “The first rule of lawyering is to never let your client testify unless there’s no other way,” he said.

Genis himself has been no shrinking violet and has clashed with several judges as well as the District Attorney’s Office. Responding to complaints from several judges and prosecuting attorneys about over-the-top courtroom behavior, Genis was suspended by the state bar for 90 days. On appeal, the number was reduced to 30, which — Nick Welsh Genis served last fall.

love May save east Beach grill

T

he power of the people was on dramatic display Tuesday afternoon as dozens of supporters of the East Beach Grill convinced the Santa Barbara City Council to give the 33-year-old restaurant a better chance for revival when its lease runs out next year and its Cabrillo Pavilion Bathhouse home is closed soon after for renovation.

Outdated and uncharmingly shabby, the bathhouse is scheduled for a massive and lengthy $12 million makeover that will preserve much of the outside aesthetic but redo most of the interior, including its upstairs event space and offices, as well as its downstairs gym, bathrooms, and restaurant. Work is expected to begin early 2018.

East Beach Grill owner Francisco Aguilera, who also runs Char West and the ice cream parlor on Stearns Wharf, petitioned City Hall to give him first crack at resecuring a lease when the bathhouse reopens. He asked for six months of exclusive negotiating rights before the city solicits proposals from other restaurant operators.

Parks and Recreation director Jill Zachary and her staff recommended against Aguilera’s request, saying all bids should be considered at the same time. Zachary said Parks and Rec will be looking for a tenant who can provide a more expanded food service than the one currently offered

by East Beach Grill, a casual breakfast and

lunch joint open five days a week. The new restaurant will operate seven days a week, serve dinner, and be able to invest around $500,000 in new kitchen and dining equipment. Zachary said the upgraded eatery will generate much-needed revenue for her department, which was recently forced to cut public youth and sports programs.

An open bidding process would allow City Hall to better gauge the market, get a fresh look at new ideas, and be more objective in its selection, said Zachary. She stressed Aguilera’s overall good standing as a city tenant and never said he wouldn’t be up to the task.

A long line of loyal customers and friends took turns asking the council to consider more than City Hall’s bottom line.

They talked about Aguilera’s deep Santa Barbara roots, his ascension from dishwasher to restaurant owner, his commitment to his employees, and how the East Beach Grill is a beloved destination for Junior Lifeguards, triathlon participants, morning walkers, and passersby looking for a quick and inexpensive bite. Keep it local, and keep it authentic, they said.

Swayed by the outpouring, the council in a 6-1 vote agreed to let Aguilera have 120 days of one-on-one negotiations before other proposals are taken. “Your turnout made the difference,” Mayor Helene Schneider told the crowd. —Tyler Hayden

Bull session with

fareed Zakaria

News Analyst Chats Foreign Policy in Advance of Santa Barbara Event

mong the cacophony of cable-news squawkfests, socially mediated newsfeeds, and listicles, believe it or not, there’s still a niche market for sober analysis of current events. Fareed Zakaria’s got that market cornered. The host of a foreign affairs program on CNN, writer of a weekly column in the Washington Post, and author of five books, Zakaria is a rare specimen of that endangered American species called the public intellectual.

Zakaria has fashioned himself into an authoritative voice on matters of geopolitics, offering historical and political context to the events shaping our ever-globalizing world, all the while peppering his prose with timely allusions plucked straight from the Great Books curriculum.

It was a bit jarring, given such gentility, to read a recent column of Zakaria’s titled “The Unbearable Stench of Trump’s B.S.” It was less shocking to find out that Zakaria borrowed his definition of the term “bullshit” from a Princeton philosopher named Harry Frankfurt. When Zakaria called in to chat with The Santa Barbara Independent in advance of his talk at the Granada Theatre on September 27, it was on that subject that our conversation began.

last 30 years, China has been on a path to greater openness, greater integration with the world economy. But right now it is going through something very different. Economic growth is slowing, and the Communist Party has decided to reassert control in a very substantial way. Dissent is being crushed, people are being purged; there is much stronger nationalism to Chinese policy. The same Western companies that they courted are now being discriminated against.

If China moves in a substantially protectionist direction, that will change the geopolitics of Asia and the world. Let’s remember China is the second largest economy in the world.

Even with this slowdown, it is growing at least twice as fast as the United States. If there is a serious conflict between China and the United States, then we move from the world we’ve been living in for the last 20 years to a world that looks much more like the Cold War where you have two great antagonists in two camps, countries have to choose sides, and systems get closed rather than opened. cou rtesy

I think the topic of bullshit is more interesting than the topic of Trump. I hope you’re right because one of Trump’s strategies during the primary was to stay interesting, which meant he dominated media coverage. If he’s getting to the point where we’re all getting bored of him, that would be a very good thing.

Does a little part of your soul die every time you have to talk about him? I find it deeply frustrating that we have to analyze every tweet or every comment he makes on foreign policy or economic policy as if it is some serious expression of policy, that there’s some thought behind it, that there’s an ideology behind it. It’s all nonsense. These are kneejerk reactions that mean nothing. He could change his mind tomorrow.

Frankfurt says that one cause of bullshit is the fact that public life compels people “to speak extensively about matters of which they are to some degree ignorant.” You work on a cable news network where people have to talk 24 hours a day. To what extent is Trump a product of our media climate? He is very much a creature of the modern media age in which speed is essential. Short, controversial, obnoxious, sensational statements get you enormous currency.

Then they disappear and then you’re on to the next thing. You don’t have time to develop outrage about the John McCain comment because then Trump is on to Mexicans; then he’s on to Muslims. He’s consumed the limelight in a way that makes everybody else look small. There’s certainly a kind of genius in that. It also reminds us that the people interested in politics in a serious sense are a small subset of Americans.

Jefferson said an educated citizenry is the key to preserving our democracy. Most Americans are sensible, smart people.

When they make an important decision, they do careful research; they are very sober. But when it comes to exercising their rights as citizens, there is this strange tendency to suspend that kind of rational thought process and instead look for somebody who is going to affirm you emotionally or give you psychological comfort.

Let’s get to foreign affairs. The G20 meetings just ended in China, a country that has swiveled inward. Is this the beginning of a long-term economic uncoupling from the United States? China may be going through the most important changes since the Cultural Revolution. For the

Fareed Zakaria You are a supporter of the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal, and you feel like the presidential candidates are being demagogues in opposing it. Is that right? I think Hillary Clinton knows enough to know that it’s a good agreement.

Donald Trump knows nothing about it or any major public policy issue, so I have no idea whether he’s being sincere or not.

The vast majority of what the TPP does is open up Asian markets. This deal makes it easier for America to export goods into Japan, which is still the third biggest economy in the world, to Indonesia, to other countries in East Asia. It also, for the first time, raises environmental standards and talks about worker rights in a substantial way.

As important as the economic issue, there’s a very important foreign policy issue here, which is: who will get to write the rules? The real prize here is for the United States to stay the dominant, agenda-setting power in the world. To do that, it has to be able to do it in the Asia Pacific. In 10 years, four of the five largest economies of the world will be in the Asia Pacific.

That is where the pivots of the 21st century lie.

President Obama has been trying to make his pivot to Asia, but the Middle East keeps occupying his attention.

He’s been reluctant to use military force in Syria despite pressure from those on both sides of the political spectrum.

How do you think he is playing his cards? It has showed incredible discipline and, in my opinion, strategic wisdom to

not get substantially involved in the Syrian Civil War. This is without question the most complicated Civil War that I have witnessed in my 30 years of studying international relations.

The American intelligence community estimates are that there are 1,000 different militias fighting in Syria. There are at least five to six major powers with stakes in Syria. They are all backing different sides.

You have in Syria this fundamental problem. We are unalterably opposed to the strongest power, the Assad regime, and we are also unalterably opposed to the Assad regime’s primary military rival, ISIS. We’re against the other jihadi groups there. The idea that in that chaos, substantial American involvement would somehow sort this all out is crazy. What I think is much more likely is that the United States would drain enormous blood, treasure, time, energy, and attention in a no-win quagmire.

Do you worry about a potential President Clinton who is more hawkish than Obama? I do worry that Hillary will not have the same disciplined, strategic approach to the use of military force that Obama has had. I think that Hillary Clinton comes out of a Democratic party that felt as if it was on the defensive in the 1980s and 1990s when they were constantly accused by Republicans of being soft on Communism, of being soft on military intervention. It was a legacy of the Vietnam experience. Because of that, both Bill and Hillary Clinton decided that the way they were going to demonstrate that they were not those kinds of Democrats was to be tougher.

The danger of that is that is a political strategy that may not be good foreign policy strategy.

On the other side of Syria is Turkey. Were you surprised by the coup attempt, and are you worried about the prospects for a U.S. alliance with an increasingly authoritarian regime? I was surprised by the coup and the counter-coup.

For a long time, it seemed as if Turkey was exempt from the instability that has been consuming the Middle East. Now, it is unfortunately clear that that instability has entered Turkey. Partly, the Kurdish issue has been revived, partly ISIS. One piece of it seems to be that Turkey is going through a fundamental debate internally whether it is still the bastion of secularism and modernized Islam that Attaturk had created or if it is going to be very different. President Erdogan has played with these forces in a way that has not been productive.

But let’s talk about when Turkey really began to change.

That was when the Europeans made it clear to Turkey that it would never be a member of the European Union. A lot of Turks believed it was simply because they were Muslim.

That was a much more dramatic shift than people realize, and Erdogan began this project of redefining Turkey, which has produced a lot of opposition and tension.

When you recently interviewed President Obama on your show, GPS [Global Public Square], you ended by asking him what he’s reading, so I’ll do the same with you. I read a forthcoming biography of Alan Greenspan by Sebastian Mallaby. It was a wonderful portrait of the economic conservative movement, free marketers who wanted the Republican Party defined by openness and internationalism, now so bereft because Donald Trump in no way represents them. What you have now is a Republican Party with a standard bearer who believes in walls and tariffs.

Dissension fuels carp school Board Race

C

iting “significant differences … in style, philosophy and vision,” the separation agreement between Carpinteria Unified School District’s Board of Education and departed superintendent Micheline Miglis was released last week. While many details “shall remain confidential,” according to the document, an outspoken critic of the board said Miglis’s departure had nothing to do with performance.

“The single biggest issue was in the tone Ms. Miglis set for collaborating and decision-making,” said Jay Hotchner, a Carpinteria Middle School teacher and president of labor union CAUSE (Carpinteria Association of United School Employees), which has been at an impasse with the district over salary negotiations since April. “Her tone was respectful and diplomatic, and she created a dialogue of empowering people. That was unacceptable to the board.” Longtime boardmember Terry Banks did not return calls and emails for comment. Board president Andy Sheaffer could not be reached before deadline.

Miglis will receive her full salary for one year.

Her benefits expire on June 30, 2018, or when she receives benefits through a new employer, whichever comes first.

Looking ahead to the coming board election, with two of five seats up for grabs,“It’s hard to say if there will be a change in the voting bloc,” Hotchner said, “but I would hope to see more transparent conversations [between the board and the community].”

Of three candidates, CAUSE has endorsed Gary

Blair and Rogelio Delgado. Blair is a retired Santa Barbara Superior Court executive officer with twin daughters at Carpinteria High School, where he serves on the Measure U facility improvement advisory committee. Blair said one of his focuses would be Title IX compliance for facilities and equipment for female sports. Delgado — who has a Carpinteria High School grad now at Harvard and two more kids in the district — said class sizes are too big, teachers are underpaid, and many families in the district, which is 70 percent Hispanic, don’t know what’s going on. “I can talk with them directly,” he said. Delgado and Blair have also been endorsed by the Santa Barbara Democratic Central Committee.

“I’m sure [Maureen Foley Claffey] would be a competent boardmember,” Hotchner said of the race’s third candidate. “We wish [CAUSE] could have made three endorsements. But there are only two seats.” Endorsed by the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, Claffey is a sixth-generation Carpinteria native. Her mom was a teacher in the district and her father a school board president. Her 4-year-old daughter was enrolled in the district’s transitional kindergarten program before the board abruptly pulled the plug on its expansion earlier this year and then rescinded that decision two months later,“sending many families into chaos,” Claffey said.

“The biggest problem with the board is that there hasn’t been enough focus on children and how to help teachers do well. And there’s an impression that they’ve been very cavalier with the public trust.” The — Keith Hamm election is on November 8.

‘kumbaya’ after years of ‘issues’ On July 2 last year, a Sheriff’s deputy fell 20 feet from a helicopter hoist during a marijuana-eradication operation. The cause, according to the county’s Risk Management Division, was a mechanical malfunction.

His injuries were non-life-threatening, but he is still out on workers’ compensation. Litigation is pending.

The incident highlighted a rift long widening in the county’s Aviation Unit, which combined Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters in 2012 to save money to the tune of a few hundred thousand dollars. The unit has four pilots and a handful of other assisting personnel. Its mission ranges from fighting wildfires to supporting Sheriff’s deputies on the ground to locate criminal suspects. The mix forced the agencies to confront longtime differences — in missions and training protocols — between the two departments.

Though for years it appeared as though the Aviation Unit could split again, the county supervisors this week re-upped its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The supervisors acknowledged “issues” existed, but they ultimately basked in what Supervisor Salud Carbajal called a “kumbaya” moment. “For a while there, we weren’t sure we were going to get [there],” he said. Per the MOU, a fifth pilot to focus on fire and emergency response was added for a $202,000 annual cost. (All pilots, though, are trained to respond to any mission.) The MOU also allotted $51,000 for an increase in training costs.

The so-called issues included, among other things, personality conflicts among firefighters and deputies. Conflict escalated when things were slower, according to various sources, and relations tended to be better when they were busy.

The agreement also calls for an executive meeting to convene quarterly, which Undersheriff Bernard Melekian said could help prevent issues. “A lot of work has gone into creating this agreement,” he said.

Fire Chief Eric Peterson admitted he had doubts when the process started. “I think we have a really good compromise here,” he said.

Virginia C. Cashman 12/24/25-08/30/16

(Gini) Virginia Christanne Cashman age 90, died peacefully in her Santa Barbara home on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at 5:45 a.m. Gini’s life flourished with wonder and synchronicity. She had an ability to transform and create diverse connections.

She could transcend humanmade boundaries of nationality, religion, race and even age.

She will be deeply missed.

Born on Christmas Eve, 1925 to Ed and Mary Ellen (LuLu) Kelly, Gini was the second youngest of thirteen children. Her folks were adventurous, young homesteaders who moved from Iowa to South Dakota and built a grand house, including the first electric-generating windmill in Wagner County.

Her family successfully farmed corn, soybeans and wheat, and raised cattle until the tragic Dust Bowl and Depression of 1929 prompted their return to Iowa.

She attended the University of Iowa where she met the love of her life, Jim Cashman, a Korean War vet, completing 16

his law degree. On September 9, 1947, they were married in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In 1952, they moved to California and settled in Santa Barbara, where they raised a family of eleven. They enjoyed a rich community and family life that centered on beach trips and mountain camping adventures. Gini was very involved with school, friends and church activities. Summers were spent at a family cabin in Paradise and at Lake Almanor.

Gini was an avid reader and lifelong learner. Shakespeare classes, philosophy, foreign travel, UCSB Art and Lectures Programs, bridge, tennis and thrift stores excited her.

However her true passion was personal growth. Gini was a PRH facilitator, practicing in the Santa Barbara area for 20 years. She believed in the evolution of consciousness and the divinity of all beings.

Having experienced the reality of the Depression and the Dust Bowl, she felt a lifelong commitment to make a dif difference at every opportunity.

She generously supported many charities and organizations and opened her home to everyone. She was committed to her volunteer work in the early formation of Santa Barbara Hospice and co-founded the Word and Life Lecture Series and the Sophia House Meditation Group.

Gini was blessed with many caring and beloved friends.

She lived entranced by life’s joy and wonder and delighted in meaningful synchronicities. She trusted and lived her intuitive convictions. We will miss her magical spirit! Gini is survived by her 11 children, 20 grandchildren, 7 greatgrandchildren and treasured nieces and nephews. Her children, their spouses and her grandchildren are: Linda Williams (Geoffrey, Tucker, Darian) San Francisco, CA; Cynthia Mitchell (Jeff, Jed, Cash) Corvallis, OR; Jessica Cashman (Harold Marcuse,) Santa Barbara, CA; Tim Cashman (Linda, Angie, Kent, Scott) Gig Harbor, WA; Paul Cashman (Leigh, Katie, Molly) Santa Barbara, CA; Kelly Cashman (Katie, Luke) Simi Valley, CA; Mary Lucero (Jimmy, Dolan, Ginger) St. Maarten, Caribbean; Tom Cashman (Carla, Tyler, Kira) Irvine, CA; David Cashman (Laurie, Alexandra, Joe) La Mesa, CA; Ellen Guettler (Kevin, Gibson, Aiden) Bozeman, MT; Anne Argent (Quinn, Camron) Denver, CO.

Fred B. Meisel 12/08/26-09/04/16 Our dear Fred Meisel passed away quietly on September 4, 2016. He lived his life by the refrain, “You can’t go wrong by doing right.” He blessed us all with his love, thoughtfulness, unselfishness, and with his ever-present humor.

Fred was born on December 8, 1926 in Prospect Park, PA to Alexander and Sophia Meisel. He graduated from Prospect Park High School during WWII and enlisted in the Navy. At war’s end, Fred entered Temple University School of Pharmacy, and upon graduation worked with his uncle and his father in their respective pharmacies. When Alexander passed away in 1952, Fred seamlessly ran the pharmacy in a manner that supported his own family and that of his mother, while providing assistance for brothers Harris and Paul to attend college.

In 1954, Fred married Rita Steiner. The couple had two children, Alexandra and Irene. After that marriage dissolved, Fred sold the family pharmacy, and began a career in hospital pharmacy, notably Misericordia Hospital in Philadelphia. In 1976 Fred married Judith Cohen, and in 1981 Fred and Judy moved to Santa Barbara. Fred worked first at Nogales Pharmacy, and then at Goleta Valley Hospital, while Judy initiated and developed a preschool program at Congregation B’nai B’rith.

Fred and Judy truly made their home in Santa Barbara’s Jewish and civil rights communities, hosting diverse groups at their Friday night Sabbath dinners, and travelling across the country for Judy’s presentations to young people about civil rights and the Holocaust.

We will all miss Fred’s wit, his wisdom, his sweetness and generosity of spirit.

Fred is survived by his wife, Judith, his daughters, Irene

Mark Witold Piasecki 1938-2016

Mark Witold Piasecki, age 78, passed away on Saturday, September 10th. He was born in the Netherlands, where his father was stationed with the Polish Navy. He and his mother fled Warsaw, Poland to Scotland during WWII. After immigrating to the U.S. and settling in Los Angeles, Mark attended Loyola High School and graduated from UCLA. After college, he accepted a position as an engineer at Raytheon in Santa Barbara, where he lived the rest of his life. It was in Santa Barbara that he met his wife, Kathy. They were married in 1970 at Old Mission, Santa Barbara.

A gentle and loving family man, Mark was a devoted husband, father, brother, and son. Mark is survived by his wife, Kathy, his children, Derek Piasecki (Christy), Mara Cotich (Craig), and Andrea Wiemann (John), his grandchildren, Carter, Dylan, and Chloe, his sister, Dr. Christina Puchalski, his stepfather Anthony Puchalski, and many nephews, nieces, and friends.

Patrick John Drazenovich 12/04/61-09/01/16

Pat, a Santa Barbara native, died suddenly. Pre-deceased by his parents Thelma (Langlo) and George. He attended Adams School, graduated from San Marcos, where he was an outstanding baseball player and athlete. He loved sports—played tennis, golf, baseball; and games—playing backgammon and scrabble weekly, but hated the New England Patriots! His contractor's license was with Drazenovich Concrete. He was bright, perceptive, gentle, and known to many as a good friend. At the dog park daily with Nashoba and Moochie, he was a devoted dog 'dad'.

All at the coffee shop every evening. He was a nice guy, a good person, an excellent friend, and he is missed.

Save Small Wineries

S

anta Barbara County officials have been working for several years on a slew of updates to the Winery Ordinance first enacted in 2001.

It appears this arduous process is coming to an end, though not without continued controversy.

The industry in California and around the world has changed considerably in the last five years. More people are traveling to wine regions to meet winemakers and to experience the culture of these unique places. For small wineries, the vast majority of their wine sales come from visitors at the winery.

At the same time, there has been a mass consolidation in the wine wholesale business. The four largest wine distributors in the United States sell 60 percent of the wine sold to restaurants, retailers, and grocery stores. They mostly deal with wineries producing tens of thousands of cases, not hundreds or a few thousand.

The S.B. County Vintners’ Association submitted a recommendation to allow smaller vineyard parcels to have a boutique winery and up to a 400-square-foot area for limited, by-appointment visits by wholesale and retail wine buyers. This low-impact, agriculturecentric recommendation gives boutique winery owners an opportunity to educate customers directly where the wine has been grown.

We understand the need for reasonable regulation, and a spirit of partnership from county officials will go a long way toward allowing small, local vintners to stay in business. In turn, vintners will continue to preserve so much of what makes Santa Barbara County a special place.

—Morgen McLaughlin, Executive Director, Santa Barbara Vintners

Techno Travails

I

t seems the Metropolitan Transit District is operated by car-driving technophiles, with little empathy or experience of daily ridership.

After years of loud, two-way driver-terminal radios, a bilingual announcement system was recently added to the noise level. Rare is the 10- to 15-minute ride without a recorded request to move to the back of the bus,

(in the Galleria Mall)

even though the bus is usually far from crowded. One is randomly admonished to wear shoes and shirts, or not to spit, smoke, or throw things out the window. In many years, I’ve never observed such conduct on the bus.

These intrusive technologies make it more difficult —Paul B. Slater, S.B. for riders to relax, read …

Why Joan Hartmann?

T

his November, voters in the 3rd District, the county’s largest and most diverse, will elect a new supervisor to replace retiring Supervisor Doreen Farr.

Joan Hartmann has all the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to replace her. She has the knowledge, based on her many years in public policy work; the experience, based on her work with public and private coalitions solving problems of water-use, land-use, and environmental issues; and the passion to propose creative solutions for mental health, public safety, urbangrowth boundaries, and much more.

We sometimes forget that citizens living outside a city boundary—and there are many of us in the 3rd District—rely on our supervisor as the ombudsman for issues affecting us. These can be as mundane as a fallen tree and as crucial as mental-health services. Our supervisor’s office is often the first place we call when we have questions about land use, roadway safety, or needed infrastructure improvements. Joan Hartmann has committed to answer every phone call or email from her constituents within 24 hours. That is a commitment based on a passion to serve, a respect for citizens, and an abiding belief in the necessity of good governance.

Doreen Farr has enthusiastically endorsed Joan. I and many others stand with her in that endorsement.

—Jim Farnum, Joan Hartmann is the real deal.

Helping Hands Across the Sea

a group of Santa Barbara women are setting an example to the world.

Led by Janet Reineck, they’ve used dance as a means to raise funds to aid survivors of the catastrophic 1994 genocide in the African nation of Rwanda. Money raised by World Dance for Humanity goes to 20 communities of people by “providing goats, cattle, student stipends, training, and support for small businesses,” Reineck told me.

“Each of these communities has its own profile. One is made up of former sex workers, while others include genocide widows, unwed mothers, orphans, disenfranchised poor farmers, and the Twa [pygmies], who emerged from their forest life to try to survive in the lowlands.

“Our largest group, Never Again Fellowship, is an extraordinary community focused on reconciliation between the Hutu, Tutsi, and the Twa — the three ethnic groups who had perpetrated or been the victims of unfathomable atrocities during the 1994 genocide.

“In 2008 a dozen people from the three groups made the courageous move to pool their efforts to stay alive. The idea worked. The members live together, work together, and are planning their future together, having sworn ‘never again’ to [engage in] ethnic violence.

“Our support has given them the means and confidence to save money, invest, and grow.

GENOCIDE OF 1994: Quietly, without fanfare,

DANCE TO THRIVE: Through her World Dance for Humanity, Janet Reineck (center, in pink) raised funds to help women of the Twirererabana Cooperative purchase this farmland in Rwanda.

There are now 2,666 people in Never Again Fellowship, divided into seven cooperatives.”

Reineck, a 2012 Independent Local Hero, teaches dance classes at the Santa Barbara Dance Center and City College Adult Ed, with all proceeds going to Rwanda. Throughout the year, the World Dancers reach out to wheelchair-bound seniors and disabled adults, “connecting through music and movement.

“When we’re not dancing, World Dancers volunteer at the Westside Boys & Girls Club, helping them serve 100 kids a day with limited staff,” said Reineck.

On October 29, about 200 dancers will move as one in the Courthouse Sunken Gardens, performing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” joining dancers in a worldwide movement, according to Reineck. Donations will go to the Rwanda Education Fund. Rehearsals start

Sunday, September 17. Details are at worlddancersforhumanity.org. Smaller “flash mobs” in Halloween-ish costumes will perform around town and in the North County.

To us, a goat may be just a rural oddity, but to the poor of Rwanda, a goat is hope on four legs. World Dance partnered with Santa Barbaran Betsy Kain’s Goats for Life and then took on her legacy when she retired in 2013.

A woman named Catherine, as she held a black goat, said, “I am holding a brighter future for me and my family …. A goat is going to be the bringer of … change in my family. We live on doing agriculture in a poor way, [but] this goat will positively impact our production, and it will provide us with financial necessities while having offspring from it.

“There is no way to thank donors [who made] this happen for us. God bless them.”

Barney Brantingham can be reached at barney@independent.com or 965-5205 x230.

He writes online columns and a print column for Thursdays.

A woman named Gratia said: “These are not just goats. They are so meaningful to us.

We used to keep livestock before genocide, but genocide has taken everything away, including our hope to have livestock again.

We did not have hope for our future, but because of you and your support, we have our livestock back, and we have hope for the future.

“We thank you to infinity and beyond, and I cannot thank you enough ….”

Margaritha sits next to a handsome blackand-white goat: “A goat you see me holding is the answer to my wish to belong to the community of change, well-being, hope, and respect in all ways. This goat will soon take me there. I am so appreciative to our donors.”

Peter Haslund, member of the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees, is board chair of World Dance. “I don’t know of any other philanthropic endeavor that more directly affects the lives of desperate people more effectively or more immediately than World Dance for Humanity.

“The driving force is the ability to provide a sense of hope where none existed, a sense of encouragement when only conflict prevailed, a sense of a positive future for all, regardless of tribal affiliation.”

In all, World Dancers donated $91,000 to Rwanda communities last year, Reineck said.

Is It

High Time?

his November, exactly 20 years after California became the first in the union to decriminalize medical marijuana, state voters will decide once and for all if they can get high for fun, legally.

Four other states and the District of Columbia have already passed recreational cannabis laws, but if Proposition 64 is approved in California— the sixth largest economy in the world where California marijuana is the biggest cash crop — it will send waves of drug-policy sea change across the country.

The creators and supporters of Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, or AUMA, say the ballot measure will finally legitimize an activity in which millions of Golden State residents already partake. They argue that taxing and regulating the commodity will create a tax boon of a billion dollars a year, benefiting youth programs and law enforcement, and that the new state oversight will set quality-control and pricing standards that would edge out Mexican cartels.

Opponents, however, say the initiative would expose more children to a gateway drug, flood the roads with stoned drivers, and actually increase black-market activity. More immediate is the fact that marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I drug by the Federal Drug Enforcement agency, which puts it in the same category as heroin and ecstasy.

U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein and many sheriffs and district attorneys have all come out against the ballot measure.

Nevertheless, Prop. 64 appears poised for voter approval —Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, the California Medical Association, mega-rich tech philanthropist Sean Parker, and many others support it; the “Yes” campaign has vastly out-fundraised the “No” contingent so far, $11.7 million to $173,000; and the most recent polls showed 63.8 percent of respondents favor legalizing recreational marijuana. In 2010, California voters narrowly rejected a similar but less carefully crafted ballot initiative.

Not as measureable has been the steady cultural acceptance of marijuana as a viable medical aid and means for adult relaxation. The seeds of this revolutionary change, planted in the ’60s and ’70s, now seem to be bearing political fruit. In November, eight more states will decide whether to

medical marijuana community is watching the ballot item with intense interest, curious how it will affect the price of medicine. And casual pot smokers, from those harking back to the 1960s to young adults who just became of legal age, are beginning to wrap their heads around the idea that they might soon be able to stroll into a store and buy a few joints.

Santa Barbara and the Pot Prop

allow recreational or medical marijuana. That most certainly will widen the gap between state and federal marijuana laws, therefore increasing pressure on Congress and the next presidential administration to reconcile the conflicting policies.

Santa Barbara County would surely be affected by the AUMA, as it’s uniquely positioned to grow an even healthier marijuana industry than it already supports. Even now, farmland and greenhouses are being bought by Prop. 64 prospectors. The City of Santa Barbara’s relatively permissive laws allowing medicinal storefronts and delivery services have perhaps paved the way for a recreational sector. And as a tourist destination that boasts world-class wine and beachside sunsets, Santa Barbara may one day, too, be marketed as a premier destination for cannabis connoisseurs.

However, detractors say, all this could also portend the ill effects of a speculative market. Police officials and neighborhood activists point to the crime and lawsuits that came with the city’s initial gold rush of medical marijuana dispensaries, wiped out five years ago in a federal crackdown. Prop. 64 opponents in Santa Barbara also worry that the county and our cities will never see a dime of the new tax dollars that a ravenous state government will be collecting.

With election season underway, Santa Barbara’s politicians are starting to voice strong opinions on both sides of the issue, as it will be up to them whether recreational marijuana businesses are even allowed in their jurisdictions. The

•••

Prop. 64 supporters argue that marijuana would be subjected to many of the same restrictions as those put on alcohol. Only state-licensed businesses could sell it to adults 21 and older through established storefronts or delivery services. People 21 and older could smoke marijuana only at a private residence or permitted business. They could possess up to an ounce of the plant or eight grams of its concentrate (oil or hash), and grow a maximum of six plants in their homes. Smoking in public or while driving would be illegal. Any business that sold alcohol or tobacco would not also be able to sell marijuana. Similarly, businesses allowing on-site consumption could not also allow drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes.

The initiative covers all forms of marijuana use, including vaping and edibles. It also acknowledges that weed is still illegal in the eyes of the federal government, but it states that the U.S. Department of Justice declared it would not prosecute businesses or individuals complying with state cannabis laws.

Most significantly, Prop. 64 would allow city and county governments to ban all recreational marijuana businesses.

Personal use and cultivation, as well as transport of marijuana between jurisdictions, could not be outlawed, however.

This entire regulatory framework would be overseen by a new state agency, the Bureau of Marijuana Control. It would issue permits for commercial cultivation, as well as manage quality-control inspections, labeling requirements, tracking procedures, and all the other governmental oversight that comes with selling an intoxicant. The bureau would also regulate medical marijuana.

Prop. 64 would place a state excise tax of 15 percent on retail sales of marijuana, and state cultivation taxes of $9.25 per ounce of flowers and $2.75 per ounce of leaves. The revenue generated— generated predicted to reach as high as a billion dol-

IT’S GOT THEIR VOTE: From left, 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, and Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider all support Proposition 64, in part because marijuana is so prevalent already. “For young people, this train left the station long ago,” said Jackson.

term consequences. Twenty percent of Santa Barbara Unified’s 11th graders admitted to using marijuana in a 2015 survey.

“I don’t think legalizing, essentially condoning, another intoxicating substance is good for public safety,” said District Attorney Joyce Dudley.

For young people, marijuana is too often a gateway drug, she said, and the public cost of dealing with addiction problems and the crimes they engender “will far outweigh any possible tax revenue.” Dudley also believes Prop. 64 would ultimately help cartels, as a taxed product will inevitably create a market for cheaper, untaxed alternatives.

In the last 10 years, the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s Office has dealt with more than 4,200 cases that included one or more marijuana charges. The AUMA would mandate the resentencing of individuals arrested for marijuana offenses now made legal. To reopen those cases would mean a lot of extra work for the department, said Deputy District Attorney John Savrnoch. “You are revisiting an issue that was previously resolved and adding it to an already busy court calendar,” he said.

For supporters of the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, temporary inconvenience to the government is a small price to pay after what they lament as decades of failed drug policy. Goleta City Councilmember Michael Bennett supports the proposition.“The war on marijuana has been an absolute, abject failure,” he said.“We’ve spent billions and incarcerated untold people, and for what?” If history has taught us anything, Bennett said, referencing Prohibition, it’s that such blanket criminalization does not work.

Goleta currently has two medical marijuana dispensaries, both grandfathered in when the city put a moratorium on additional storefronts in 2009.

The councilmember doesn’t think recreational businesses, in Goleta or anywhere else, would inspire crowds of new users, as some opponents predict.

“They won’t make people start smoking,” he said. As a younger man, Bennett partook. “I did smoke, I did inhale, and I enjoyed every minute of it.” He doesn’t — Michael Bennett, anymore, but if the mood Goleta city councilmembeR strikes, he’d consider taking another drag. Still, he’s not rushing to the first store that opens, and he doesn’t see many other people doing that, either.

Nationwide, pot use among teens peaked in the late 1990s and has been declining ever since, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Abuse rates across all age groups have been falling since 2002. Contrary to early prognostications, teenage use rates did not increase in either Washington or Colorado after marijuana was legalized in both states in 2012, their health departments have reported.

Bennett is joined in his Prop. 64 opinion by a number of other Santa Barbara lawmakers. First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal, now running for Congress, said the current prohibition on marijuana “has wasted tax dollars and ruined countless lives.” A careful rollout of the law with clear guidelines and monitoring will “ultimately benefit our state,” he said. State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson said the AUMA would “really just be legalizing something that’s been going on for a long time. … For young people, this train left the station long ago.” Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider said she agrees with Lt. Governor Newsom’s long list of arguments in favor of legalization. “It makes a lot of sense,” she said.

Randy Rowse finds less logic in the law, which he called more emotional than practical.“People are in denial about pot,” he said.“It causes real harm.” If there’s to be anything gained from the AUMA, he went on, it’s an admittance that medical marijuana collective laws have been “a joke.”While some palliative care patients may legitimately need canna-

Ryan Howe is poised to open the first medical marijuana dispensary, at 118 North Milpas Street, since the crackdown thanks to the City Council voting six years ago to permit three medical storefronts. He said he has no desire to wade into the recreational pool, which he thinks will get crowded and messy when Big Marijuana takes over the market. “It’s going to be Miller beer versus Budweiser beer,” he predicted.

Howe hopes casual on-site consumption isn’t allowed at dispensaries or stores.

“I think marijuana is medical, so it should be treated that way.”And he’d like owners to use a high degree of care in deciding what they offer.“I don’t think gummies or candies or anything that a kid could mistake for a treat should be in the world of marijuana,” he said. Right now, mobile delivery services are selling Froot Poofs with pictures of Tokin’ Sam, as well as rice crispy treats and ice cream push pops laced with THC. For that reason, and a few others, Howe isn’t sure he’ll vote for the AUMA. He also scorned high-octane products that would catch many users by surprise — “moon rocks” are a hunk of marijuana coated with concentrated oil and sprinkled with kief, the dry resin of cannabis flowers.“It’s like taking an acid hit,” Howe said.

Under the AUMA, nonmedical deliveries would be allowed but only through statelicensed businesses.

Zach Schaefer has helped run Evergreen Compassionate Care since 2013, supplying 2,200 Santa Barbara area patients with marijuana. He estimated there are approximately 40 delivery services sprinkled throughout the county, only a handful of which actually abide by state rules, have a license, and pay their taxes. He’s one of them. A search of weedmaps.com, the Yelp of the medical marijuana world, confirms Schaefer’s overall estimate, with dozens of cannabis runners from Lompoc to Carpinteria advertising all manner of strains, edibles, and tinctures.

Schaefer doesn’t know where he lands on Prop. 64. “On one hand, it will benefit patients by creating a more stable atmosphere,” he said.“On the other hand, medicinal marijuana will be taxed to pay for the costs of testing and controlling nonmedical.” That, Schaefer said, could drive up prices for patients. In the meantime, he’s busy fielding daily solicitations from growers who want him to buy and distribute their product.“I have to fight them off with a stick,” he said.

Zach Pitts with Goddess Delivers is wholeheartedly excited about Prop. 64. “It’s something we desperately need,” he said.

“It’s funny to be in an industry where you’re crying out for authorities to regulate you.”

The AUMA would “create jobs and prosperity,” Pitts said, and finally establish a set of clear laws that protect patients and their providers. “In Washington and Colorado, it was stunning how people got on board when they knew they wouldn’t be raided for following the rules,” he said.

Goddess Delivers, based in Southern California, distributes anywhere in the state overnight. Many of its patients, older and with a preference for front-porch service, live in Santa Barbara. Pitts predicts if Prop.

64 passes, the availability of recreational marijuana will spark a bit of novelty and

SUPER SKEPTICAL: Councilmember Randy Rowse has grave concerns about Prop. 64, mainly its potential impact on children. But he’s hopeful it could finally bring order to the often abused medical collective system set up by state law 20 years ago. “The AUMA is one of the first reasonable approaches to get it out of the Beavis and Butt-head mode it’s been in so far,” he said.

NOT ON MY WATCH: Sheriff Bill Brown stood behind a mountain of seized marijuana when he announced in 2007 that the murder of 23-year-old Adan Ruiz — his body found dumped in a sleeping bag along Highway 154 — had been linked to a massive cartel grow site outside Lompoc.

city approved an ordinance that permits qualified medical marijuana patients to grow 100 contiguous square feet of marijuana indoors or outdoors for personal use.

Currently, Santa Barbara is the only city in the entire tri-county area to permit medical dispensaries, a fact not lost on some councilmembers who think the city unwisely gave clearance to a type of purveyor they say attracts crime and costs a lot of money to enforce. Police spokesperson Sergeant Riley Harwood said while there wasn’t an increase in serious crime around the former iteration of dispensaries, they did generate complaints over parking and loitering. There were a few robberies, as well. Even more concerning, Harwood said, are the underground labs making concentrated marijuana with volatile chemicals. Explosions and injuries have occurred.

It’s funny to be

in an industry where you’re

crying out for authorities to

regulate you.

—Zach Pitts with Goddess Delivers

For years, enforcing low-level marijuana laws has been at the bottom of the police department’s to-do list, said Harwood. Officers still arrest dealers and make big busts, but the overall de-prioritization was brought about by new municipal code, limited resources, and subtle messaging from state and federal prosecutors that such cases are often more trouble than they’re worth.“Sometimes you’re doing a lot of investigation and work for a case that ends in probation,” said Harwood. Since 2010, Santa Barbara police have issued 1,772 misdemeanor citations for simple possession; they’ve made 165 felony arrests for sales and transportation.

If the AUMA goes on the books, Harwood expects his department will start fielding complaints from residents annoyed by their neighbors smoking and growing marijuana. Live plants themselves are

quite pungent, Harwood noted, “and a lot of people take offense to the smell of others smoking around them.” From a legal standpoint, Harwood said, he isn’t sure what officers will be able to do in those situations.

The Sheriff ’s Office still spends considerable resources on marijuana-related crimes that are a real threat to public safety—since 2010, the department has recovered or apprehended 30 panga boats carrying 41,000 pounds of Mexican weed. Last year alone, it eradicated 43,000 plants in illegal backcountry grows, which are often tended by gun-toting cartel members. The Soberanes Fire that scorched more than 67 square miles of Big Sur forest and killed one person was started by an abandoned campfire at an illegal grow.

Over the last six years, the Sheriff’s Office has made 1,465 misdemeanor arrests and 843 felony apprehensions for marijuana crimes. Prison sentences can result from simple possession charges, but those cases are exceedingly rare, and are often the result of a parole or probation violation. The U.S. Justice Department estimated that 3.6 percent of state prison inmates in 2013 had drug possession as their most serious offense, but that includes all drugs, not just marijuana. NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) has said there are 50,000-110,000 cannabis-only offenders in prison throughout the United States, most for cultivation, sales, or trafficking.

Last Tuesday, the Santa Barbara City Council took early steps toward implementing an emergency ordinance that would prohibit the local licensing of nonmedical marijuana businesses for two years while Santa Barbara gets used to the idea of Prop. 64, if it passes.“This would give us maximum flexibility,” said Mayor Schneider. Staff needs time to study the measure. The vote to approve the ordinance, which needs ayes from six of the seven councilmembers, is set for mid-October.

With an election in November 2017 for three council seats and the mayor’s position, it’s difficult to predict how Santa Barbara’s decision makers will regard nonmedical marijuana in the coming years.

Residents have proved relatively tolerant of cannabis on the whole—in 2010 they voted down with gusto a measure that would have banned dispensaries outright—but whether those same views will survive on the dais is hard to say. And if past intense debates on the subject are any indication, Santa Barbara is in for another wild ride.“This is something we need to n get ready for,” said the mayor.

Madeleine White (right) also stopped to warm up her muscles before a run down the bike path. The Stretch Station is the first of its kind in the city of Santa Barbara and has three different pieces of equipment designed to gently stretch different parts of the body. It’s now open for use during the park’s usual hours, sunrise to 10 p.m.

To do so is “very simple,” said Evrard, explaining, “If you want to live peacefully, you need to live in a good atmosphere.” This atmosphere, she finds, is best produced through aromatherapy, which is why she’s

50 Years of monteCito BarBers

arbering is in Tim Sanchez’s blood. His grandfather Bob Sanchez cofounded Montecito Barbers with Jess Martinez in 1966 at its present location near the Coast Village Road roundabout. Tim’s father, Matt Sanchez, a former Eastside gang leader who turned his life around to help the wayward get a second chance, worked at the shop for nearly 25 years.

Early on, young Tim worked alongside them both — three generations of Sanchez men, cutting and shaving generations of steady customers — before taking the reins when his father passed away in 2012. While Bob is retired from the trade, Tim still gets primarysource nostalgia from Martinez, now 84, who comes in to cut hair on Wednesdays.

Working from the chair by the window, Tim and his deft clipperover-comb technique and artfully efficient fades are admired by fellow barbers and appreciated by his clientele. Combine this refined skillset with straightforward pricing, long hours, sports on flat-screen TVs, and just enough chatter to keep the shop colorful with opinion and laughter, and there’s little wonder as to why it takes four chairs to handle a revolving door of walk-ins and appointments.

A few months back and three seats over from Tim’s chair, Steve Hirata, 66, wrapped my five-o’clock shadow with a hot towel. As I closed my eyes and slipped into a reclined angle of lathered repose, I asked casually about his barbering background. He slid a straight razor down my jawline and told me about learning to cut and shave while in state prison, after failing on the outside as an incompetent drug slinger.

Hirata’s been a friend of the Sanchez family for decades, he said.

“And when I finally started getting sober, Matt invited me to work with him on Hoods in the Woods,” where young men from rival neighborhoods go camping together. The experience was a second chance for them all. These days, said Hirata, he’s again grateful for another boon from the Sanchez clan. “I just get to do what I really enjoy,” he said.

GauchOs need GOals UCSB Soccer’s Big September Schedule; Plus, Undefeated Women’s Teams and Athletes of Week

• Saturday, September 17, vs. UCLA • Wednesday, September 21, vs. Loyola Marymount • Saturday, September 24, vs. Cal UCLA has a decided edge in its series with UCSB, but the Gauchos have scored two significant victories.

In 2006, they faced the Bruins in the NCAA championship game at St. Louis and won the College Cup, 2-1. In 2010, they blanked UCLA 2-0 before a Harder Stadium crowd of 15,896, the largest on-campus regular-season attendance in NCAA soccer history.

“I saw a video of that game, and that’s one reason I transferred here,” said Kevin Feucht, UCSB’s junior midfielder from Germany.“I’m excited to play UCLA in front of a big crowd.”

Santa Barbara has led the nation in college soccer attendance for nine consecutive years.

Harder Stadium is festooned with banners, including a large one that blankets the southwest corner of the stands. It reads as follows:

to him about taking something off. It’s like baseball: You don’t hit a home run by swinging harder but by making good contact.” Feucht did just that against San Diego, smacking a ball 30 yards into a corner of the goal.

Vom Steeg praised both Feucht and DePuy for their work rate. “It’s unbelievable,” the coach said. “We have GPS on our players. Kevin and Nick are consistently the top two in terms of miles run. They go somewhere between eight and nine miles a game.”

DePuy hopes his hustle pays off with more goals. He has two this year, as do junior striker Ahinga Selemani and freshman Daniel Amo. On the defensive side, the Gauchos have had issues trying to clear loose balls out of the penalty area. Their freshman goalkeeper, Titouan Le Roux, has acquitted himself well.

UCSB will be under siege Saturday night. Akron came out west two weeks ago with a No. 1 ranking. UCLA scored an astounding three goals in 32 seconds and humiliated the Zips, 6-1.

“You saw how explosive UCLA is,” Vom Steeg said ominously, “and you knew Akron was going to be ready for us after a bad weekend.”

WINNING WOMEN: After opening the soccer season with a 3-2 victory in overtime at Fresno State, the Gaucho women made the most of a six-game home stand. They

month of the men’s college soccer season. The Gauchos made two trips there. They notched a pair of victories on the first tour, including a 1-0 shutout of Ohio State that gave them a boost in the polls. On their return last weekend, a pair of nationally ranked teams inflicted their first setbacks, 4-2 to Butler and 2-0 to Akron.

With a 4-2 record, the Gauchos are still a solid top-20 team, and they have a chance to go into Big West Conference play as the alpha dog if they are successful in their upcoming home stand (all three games kicking off at 7:05 p.m.):

DonalD HarDin and ian & Diane TrenwiTH @ Jolly BroTHers Catering

Tenure: In 1978, Ian and Diane Trenwith founded Jolly Broth-

ers Catering and started nearly four decades of serving to myriad private and corporate events. Five years ago, Donald Hardin left his job at Idaho Hillcrest Country Club in Boise after 15 years to buy the business from the Trenwiths, to whom he was once related through marriage. “He still loved the business, but he didn’t want to do the business side of stuff,” said Hardin of Ian. “[The country club experience] helped me with running the front of the house a lot, organizing parties.” So Ian and Diane remained as head cook and sous chef, respectively, and together the trio caters events from Los Angeles to Lompoc.

Recent dishes served: For a housewarming party: fajita-style

carne asada, peppers, onions, guacamole, vegetables, homemade chips, and brownies; for a birthday party: rosemary chicken, roasted potatoes, cilantro lime shrimp, and angel food cake; and for a veterans group: BBQ ribs and grilled chicken, vegetables, beans, garlic bread, quinoa arugula salad, fruit salad, chocolate chip cookies, and brownies.

Unusual assignments: Most of Hardin’s clientele requests Mexi-

can food and Santa Maria tri-tip, though they do French and Italian frequently and Asian on occasion.

Some gigs get more obscure, including one wedding with a lavender theme that wanted lavender mixed into the food, and another where a woman requested ribbon sandwiches, which are a loaf of bread sliced laterally and filled with different layers in the center, including chicken and ham-and-egg salads, and then frosted over with cream cheese and served in a cake-like presentation. “I had never heard of it,” said Hardin.

Ups and downs: “I love meeting people,

MESTIZO COMING TO LOWER STATE STREET: I was dining recently at Los Agaves

Anchor Woodfire Kitchen, and Subway. Then I ran into Los Agaves owner Carlos Luna at Taste of the Town, where he told me the name would be Mestizo, which refers to people of mixed Native American and Spanish descent. Scheduled to open in December, Mestizo will offer Mexican cuisine with a menu similar to Los Agaves. The opening of Los Agaves at The Collection in Oxnard is set for January 2017.

Dining Out Guide

ickles & Swiss and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit are the latest tenants to open in Hollister Village Plaza, at 7060 Hollister Avenue.

This is the second South Coast location for Pickles & Swiss, which is also at 811 State Street in downtown Santa Barbara. The menu has been updated for the Goleta deli, and those changes will also come to the downtown location, according to manager Blake Hayashi. That includes the new “All Day Brunch Dunch” egg sandwich and an upgraded signature “Pickles & Swiss” sandwich.

“We definitely stepped it up,” said Hayashi of that offering. “There is ham and prosciutto; the Swiss cheese gets melted; we have a sweet onion jam that goes on the bottom; there’s a homemade aioli and a pickled swath that goes on top. All this comes together, it’s unique, it’s different, and it is really delicious. It’s something you’ve never had before.” Hours are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Visit picklesand swiss.com.

Opening next door on September 16 is Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, billed as the nation’s largest barbecue chain, with locations from coast to coast.

According to its website, dickeys.com, this “true American success story” started in 1941 when World War I veteran Travis Dickey opened his first spot in Dallas.“Dickey was a true Texas character blessed with the gift of gab and the love of authentic, slow-smoked barbecue,” explains the website.“In the beginning, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit was truly a family operation with Travis working the block and Miss Ollie Dickey serving sandwiches. Space on the restaurant sign was rented out to help pay the start-up costs for the restaurant and the menu was limited to beef brisket, pit hams, barbecue beans, potato chips, beer, bottled milk, and sodas.”

In 1967, brothers Roland and T.D. Dickey took over and expanded throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Franchising began in 1994, and there are more than 530 locations in 43 states today.

ButtonwooD Farm HoP on Brewers are longtime fans of incorporating elements of winemaking into their ales, from adding grape must to aging in used barrels. But the tables are turning, thanks to winemaker Karen Steinwachs at Buttonwood Farm Winery & Vineyard, who just received what she believes is the first federal approval for adding hops to sauvignon blanc. “I love hops and I love IPAs and I come from a brewing family, so I thought, ‘What if?’” said Steinwachs, who was inspired by a Scar of the Sea hopped cider that she tasted during a World of Pinot Noir technical session years ago.

She bottled the hopped sauv blanc last fall, but it took about a year of wrangling with the feds to determine what it could be called—it’s “white wine with natural flavors,” technically—and what would be allowed on the label, as the vintage, region, and even grape variety had to be removed due to backward alcohol laws. (Why does the government want you to know less about what’s in the bottle?) The result is Hop On, in which Galaxy and Glacier hops give a pleasantly floral and slightly skunky kick to the nose of the stereotypically grassy wine. “I wanted the IPA aromatics, but without the bitterness,” said Steinwachs.

The blessing in disguise from not being able to include a vintage is that Buttonwood can crank out the Hop On as needed, and batch No. 2 is already in the works, with Pacific Valley Hops from Lompoc to be added in fresh form. In addition to the 25 initial cases, Hop On will also be available around the area in kegs, so expect to see it at Firestone Walker and other on-tap purveyors soon.

SBMA Hires new Curator of PhotogrAP Photogr hy l I f e page 51 courtesy

Museum of Art (SBMA) lost its longtime curator of photography Karen Sinsheimer to cancer a year ago, but thanks to her extraordinary gifts as a collector, it was a tragedy that also created an important opportunity. For 25 years, Sinsheimer exerted her considerable acumen in acquiring a substantial and wideranging body of photographic work for the museum’s permanent collection, thus establishing the SBMA as a major player in this increasingly important field of art history.

In April of 2016, the museum announced the appointment of Charles Wylie to the newly renamed position of curator of photography and new media. Wylie, who goes

by Charlie in his professional life, comes to us from Dallas, where he served as Lupe Murchison curator of contemporary art at the Dallas Museum of Art for 15 years.

On Sunday, September 18, Wylie will open the first show he has organized here, Cecil Beaton’s London’s Honourable Scars: Photographs of the Blitz. Although it’s a relatively small show — 15 haunting images — it’s a big step, as with it the museum enters a new era in which the category of fine art photography will merge not only with new media, such as video and the Internet, but with multiple larger trends visible across the dynamic spectrum of contemporary art practice.

To be clear, Wylie has sterling credentials when it comes to the traditional category of photography. While at the Getty Center, he cataloged thousands of images by the great German photographer August Sander and organized an important collection of the photos of the influential team Bernd and Hilla Becher. In fact, it was his study of German photographers and of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (where Bernd Becher mentored Thomas Struth and Andreas Gursky, among others) that led Wylie to his role in Dallas, where he curated successful

traveling exhibitions of such major contemporary artists as Brice Marden, Robert Ryman, Gerhard Richter, and Sigmar Polke.

Speaking with him in the museum’s basement conference room this fall, I was impressed with Wylie’s breadth of interests, his knowledge of the international scope of contemporary art, and particularly with the ease with which he navigated conversational transitions between the abstruse (e.g., the philosophical basis of German objectivism) and the popular (Wylie curated the Dallas Cowboys Art Collection that’s now on view in AT&T Stadium). When asked

if his relationship with the Jones family depended on his knowledge of football, Wylie smiled and offered the characteristically humble observation that his bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame “didn’t hurt.”

Going forward, visitors to the SBMA can expect to feel Wylie’s impact through a combination of things: shows like London’s Honourable Scars designed to highlight the museum’s extensive and all too often hidden existing strengths in photography, thoughtful investigations of contemporary work involving moving images and sound, and shows introducing Santa Barbara to genredefying international artists such as Willie Doherty and Leo Villareal.With the upcoming show of wartime work by Cecil Beaton, a gift from the museum’s former director Ala Story, he has made a splendid start.

Feed the Funk

“Incredible show. I couldn’t stop dancing,” wrote one happy fan on Facebook of the New Vibes’ Prince tribute concert they performed at Randy’s Tap Room in Solvang recently. Folks in South County have a chance to groove to the rhythms of the Purple One when the New Vibes brings its show to SOhO on Saturday, September 17. The occasion is the fourth annual Feed the Funk Benefit Concert, which raises money to help support “music, community leadership, and service,” according to their press release.

This year’s beneficiaries include the teen music mentorship program Notes for Notes and the Boys & Girls Clubs, among others.

Hosted by the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara’s Young Adult Division, the evening features myriad entertainment before the New Vibes take

the stage. While patrons dine (7-9 p.m.), they will be regaled by teen acts including the Jewish Federation’s Teen Comedy Club, the Cate School Advanced Jazz Combo, and the Notes for Notes Jazz Villains.

Come 9 p.m., the energy will be kicked up a notch for the 21-and-over crowd when Santa Barbara’s Funkstication takes the stage. Last, but not least, the New Vibe will close out the evening with selections from Prince’s ample musical catalog.

Feed the Funk takes place Saturday, September 17, 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.), SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, 1221 State Street. Tickets are $10 (pre-sale) or $15 (door). Dinner is not included in ticket price, reservations recommended. Call SOhO at 962-7776. For more information, see jewishsantabarbara.org/funk.

The Boondawgle estate When SBCC professor R. Michael Gros gave Ken Gilbert and E. Bonnie Lewis of DramaDogs a copy of Peter McDonough’s The Boondawgle Estate last January, he was just looking for a reliable group of seasoned performers to read it at PlayFest 2016. “If it doesn’t grab you within the first 10 pages, don’t give it another thought” is how Gilbert remembers what Gros said when he handed over the script. Little did either know that less than a year later, Gilbert would be directing a fully staged version of the show at Center Stage Theater, or that it would be getting its world premiere in Santa Barbara by popular demand.

Audiences at the PlayFest staged reading in January were floored by the comedy, which is a modern take on the kind of period farce that was such a staple here in Santa Barbara at the Circle Bar B Dinner Theatre. There’s an inheritance at stake — of course — and a goofy, useless brother hanging around to thwart every rational move by the protagonist. And there’s also that staple of a classic 1930s farce, the sudden pratfall. But this time that particular moment gets a different treatment — one that’s a great example of what DramaDogs is about. Director Gilbert explained: “We’ve had lots of time to work on the physical aspects of the show, and one thing we decided was important was to keep the set to a minimum, so that the only things onstage are things that are needed by the actors.”

In some cases, and I’ll let what those are remain a surprise, actors encounter obstacles that are in the script but not on the stage in front of them. With this talented cast and some seriously witty, lyrical dialogue, The Boondawgle Estate is sure to make you laugh.

DramaDogs presents The Boondawgle Estate at Center Stage Theater (751 Paseo Nuevo) ThursdaySunday, September 15-18. For more info, call 963-0408 or visit centerstagetheater.org.

A

thread of interplay between two and three-dimensionality is one of the most distinctive elements of a new collaborative exhibition: Abstractions, Contractions, Intersections that brings together painter Francis Scorzelli and sculptor Joan Rosenberg-Dent. Rather than relying on the viewer to ascribe emotional meaning, or using divisive ideological snippets, these pieces are intrinsically valuable because of their optical wit. The exhibition runs September 23November 26 at GraySpace, 219 Gray Avenue, in the heart of the Funk Zone.

As part of a growing movement of Santa Barbara–centric artists with a shared vision of their idyllic community, the works featured in the show epitomize an emotional response to the menacing media culture of INTERSECTION CONNECTION: Joan Rosenberg-Dent’s the times. A sophisticated palette whimsical sculptures are a perfect pairing for Francis of aubergine, poppy, and periScorzelli’s paintings. winkle pours emotion into the hard angles and swerving lines that bonded Rosenberg-Dent and Scorzelli’s of work.

GREAT ACOUSTICS

by Richie DeMaria CALLING ALL LUTHIERS: There is nothing like the beautiful crafting and design of a handmade acoustic instrument. While any factory can churn out a dinky ukulele or assembly-line guitar in a serviceable fashion with a serviceable tone, few hands can shape a sound as beautifully resonant as an expert luthier can, and few strings can sing as sweetly as those strummed and slid by a skilled set of luthier fingers.

From Thursday, September 29, to Monday, October 3, the 2016 Santa Barbara Acoustic Instrument Celebration (SBAIC) will honor such expertly handmade acoustic instruments, the craftspeople who create them, and the communities who surround them with a series of concerts and classes dedicated to the choicest chordophones on the planet. Based at Earl Warren Showgrounds and with additional performances in venues all over town, master musicians and woodworkers from around the world will converge on Santa Barbara stages and show spaces to showcase some of the finest instruments directly with the public, where appreciators of the form can meet one another and hear new frontiers in instrument fabrication and acoustic composition.

The festival continues the legacy started two decades ago in Healdsburg, California, by Charles Fox, Tom Ribbecke, and Todd Taggart, who founded the Healdsburg Guitar Festival as a way to meet other luthiers and for luthiers to sell their wares and preserve the art of handmade guitars. The festival lasted until 2014, when the Luthier Mercantile could no longer afford to keep up the gathering, and SBAIC director Kevin Gillies saw a void to be filled. A woodworker who has worked in architecture and furniture-making, Gillies finds the timeless design of acoustic instruments to be infinitely compelling.

“The acoustic instrument is something to behold; it really is. The violin has hardly even improved over 400 years, and that’s remarkable if you consider how rapidly information changes,” he said. “Just to be in the room with an amazing instrument is a real joy.”

For the whole weekend, acoustical joys Claude LaFlamme will abound. The festival kicks off on Thursday, September 29, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) with a guitars-in-the-round concert featuring finger-style masters Michael Chapdelaine, Sean McGowan, and Kinloch Nelson, who will play both rootsy traditional songs and stump-the-crowd deep cuts. Friday night features numerous performances, starting with Celtic guitar player Tony McManus at Earl Warren Concert Room (3400 Calle Real), followed by fiery playing from Stevie Coyle and Walter Strauss at SOhO, with a classical guitar celebration by Andre Feriante, Giacomo Fiore, and Michael Chapdelaine ending the night at Center Stage Theater (751 Paseo Nuevo). More shows fill out Saturday, with a headlining show at the Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St.) by gypsy jazz wild children Annie & the Hot Club, guitarist Richard Smith, and harp-guitarist Muriel Anderson. Sunday’s closing celebration at the Marjorie Luke Theatre (721 E. Cota St.) will shine a light on the Acoustic Guitar Gods of the Future with rising string-strumming stars Antoine Dufour, Craig D’Andrea, Trevor Gordon Hall, and Claude LaFlamme. And if that weren’t enough, the Lobero offers a post-celebration treat with the legendary dobro act the Jerry Douglas Band and singer extraordinaire Maura O’Connell on Monday night.

But one of the coolest things about the festival is its huge selection of master classes. From meticulous tone production and alternate tunings to nifty percussive techniques and outside-the-box approaches, the master classes will touch on just about every aspect of acoustical performance and production, where music fans can meet the artisans and see their oneof-a-kind creations in show-and-sell sessions in the afternoon. In an everdigitized world, the SBAIC promises a chance to connect with the deepest of musical roots: the instruments and their raw ingredients, the creators and their creations, the people, the binds they share, and the yoking strings of community.

The SBAIC runs in venues across town Thursday, September 29-Monday, October 3. For more information, visit sbaic.com. n

Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe?

ay LaMontagne’s performance at the Santa Barbara Bowl last Saturday night accomplished a feat few singers/songwriters can master: to redefine a musical genre as one’s own. The show started with a low-key solo acoustic set, playing fan At S.B. Bowl, favorites “Burn,” “Jolene,” Sat., Sept. 10. the heartbreaking “Like Rock & Roll and Radio,” and “Trouble.” The mood shifted when members of My Morning Jacket joined LaMontagne, introducing themselves with a dreamy blend of drums, bass guitar, and keyboard.

LaMontagne seldom spoke during the show, only pausing to introduce the band and thank the audience.“This tour is special to me; to be able to make music with your friends is a beautiful thing,” he said.“The Jacket boys and I are glad you could be here for it.”

The OdySSey PROjecT

LaMontagne and My Morning Jacket then took the audience on what felt like a trip to the moon, playing his latest record, Ouroboros, from start to finish with an animation of a solar eclipse as a backdrop. The album mostly consists of ethereal instrumental music with haunting vocals, but the highlight of the show was an electrifying performance of “Hey, No Pressure.”

Ouroboros is reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and captured the crowd’s attention, as if hypnotized by the bluesy, soulful psychedelic rock music. The show ended with songs from his 2014 album Supernova, to which the audience tapped their feet, swayed, and sang along, including on favorites “Ojai” and “Supernova.”

LaMontagne’s set was an intriguing mix of genres beautifully strung together by his style: nonchalant yet excitingly captivating.

S

eldom have I been as conscious of how exposed performers can feel onstage as I was at this fascinating presentation, which brings together students from UCSB with young men serving sentences at the Los Prietos Boys Camp correctional facility. UCSB professor of theater Michael Morgan and his team train the group in a variety of techniques while asking each individual to At Center Stage Theatre, Sun., Sept. 11. consider the ways in which his or her own journey through life resembles that of brave Odysseus, the “man of many twists and turns” whose greatest desire is to get back to his home.

Listening to the litany of descriptions of the dark places from which these young people have emerged, the broken homes, the incarcerated or addicted parents, and the seemingly hopeless environments, it became clear that in order to participate in the project they had to overcome a different kind of stage fright, one associated not with the fear of failing to portray a character, but instead with the fear of what it might mean to portray oneself.

The result, I’m happy to say, was uplifting in the extreme. When, at the end of the show, the actors joined together in testifying to the value of their own voices, one could hear the newfound confidence that was born out of this theatrical challenge. —Charles Donelan

tand-up comedian Kliph Nesteroff has parlayed an obsession with the obscure roots of his chosen art form into one of the year’s most compulsively readable books, The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels, and the History of American Comedy.

Beginning with the often violent acts that gave vaudeville its yuks, Nesteroff traces the evolution of the American comedian from such overlooked figures as Frank Fay, the first man to stand still and

scantily clad Aussies would venture into the audience and select a lady to bring onstage, where he then gyrated in her face and maneuvered her into various sexual positions before releasing her back into the crowd. Some of the “volunteers” were as voracious as the men, some were understandably timid, and the audience loved every minute of it. Thunder from Down Under is a naughty romp featuring enviably fit men who encourage pawing from the ladies. Who can say no to that?

scrcivf.com/upcoming-events tell jokes, all the way to the superstars of today such as Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock. Fans of sentimental celebrity biographies be warned—Nesteroff pulls no punches in detailing the sordid connections between the comedy clubs and the Mob, for example.

What emerges is a revolutionary portrait of American culture on the move as it confronts rapidly changing demographics, technologies, and, of course, the simple pain of being alive.

he arena-rock stomp of “Lord Intended” sees Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Mase assuming studio mikes for this long-awaited “requel.” The tracks “CBGBs” and “Royalty Capes” (replete with kingly blasts of brass) remind us how the MIA threesome can still flow. Guests include Usher, 2 Chainz, Justin Hawkins, Pete Rock, Jill Scott (the tedious spoken-word intro “Genesis”), and Snoop Dogg (miscast on “Pain”) while former Talking Heads leader David Byrne proves an inspired, ethereal-voiced choice (“Snoopies”).

Perhaps predictably, Blur’s Damon Albarn (“Here in After”) returns the favor for Gorillaz’ “Feel Good Inc.,” the 2005 hit that maximized De la Soul, reintroducing them in the 21st century. Too bad there’s nothing as

he “revue” may have its roots in the 19th century, but Thunder from Down Under’s all-male production is purely 21st century.

Bringing their mix of dancing, stripping, and cheeky humor to the Chumash Casino Resort last Thursday, hard-bodied Australian men made the ladies —and a few gentlemen — swoon as they plied their trade in the packed Samala Showroom.

The attendees screamed with anticipatory fervor before the fellows had taken the stage. Once they emerged, dressed in suits as if they were businessAt Chumash men heading to their highCasino Resort, powered jobs, the din rose Thu., Sept. 8. to the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane. When the “businessmen” finished, the emcee, Kurt, verbally worked the crowd with innuendofilled and straight-up dirty talk. “All right, Thunder virgins. We will be popping some cherries tonight,” he exclaimed, before bringing the dancers/strippers back to the stage.

TV THIS FALL A Brief Roundup of Shows Premiering and Returning

with Alonso Benavides, ph.d.

T

his summer TV fans witnessed an apotheosis of the lowly couch potato. All by itself, Stranger Things swept television watching into a pop aesthetic heaven that movies haven’t achieved since Spielberg and Lucas were good — a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Nobody predicted it. The show’s potent combo of suspense, nostalgia, and emotional connection had everybody talking about it afterward, creating a new sense of crazy TV possibilities. Who knows what this now-surprising media might pull off this fall? Here are some promising things.

There were meant to be two shows based on that travel-hub Southern city that travel writer Pico Iyer scorned for its “placelessness.” The first (now nixed) was a comedy series produced by Lorne Michaels called Brothers in Atlanta starring Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin; a pilot was made though the show never followed. That’s probably because of Atlanta, which launched September 6 on FX and is being produced by the prodigiously talented Donald Glover. Glover, best known from Community, was also a writer on 30 Rock, though the kids know him as the rapper Childish Gambino. Those are lavish enough credentials for a show about Atlanta, the city that gave us OutKast, and maybe Iyer will someday change his mind.

On September 9, Quarry comes to Cinemax. Based on super-prolific Max Allan Collins’s (Road to Perdition) murder mystery series, Quarry is about a disillusioned Vietnam War vet named Mac Conway, and New Orleans and Mississippi scenery costar.

On broadcast TV we celebrate the epic accomplishment nobody expected. South Park marked its 20th season on Comedy Central on September 14. The stillaudacious cartoon, which puts adult-strength language in the mouths of babes, has survived on a brilliant barrage of smut-peppered dialogue, cut-rate but cool animation, and the sharp edge of its topical humor.

NBC offers a potentially bizarre combo with The Good Place, starring the unlikeliest duo of the season (after Barbra Streisand and Jamie Foxx): Kristen Bell and Ted Danson. Bell (known to Veronica Mars lovers) and Danson play dead in this show about the Pearly Gates.

Through a celestial bureaucratic error, Bell’s gone to heaven, which turns out to be stuffy surroundings. It premieres September 19.

Our method calls for small groups (6 maximum) and conversation as soon as it is possible

Gilmore Girls

Back for its third season of revolutionizing television representations of gender and sad love is Transparent.

Are more remarkable plot swerves possible? Find out September 23 on Amazon Video. Also, Transparent writer Noah Harpster, a UCSB theater grad, costars in an overdue Tig Notaro starring vehicle, One Mississippi, due in November also on Amazon.

Spinning off from the remarkable Marvel series Jessica Jones comes Luke Cage, about a bulletproof bartender (the best kind) continuing the gritty superhero genre Krysten Ritter’s Jones created with a combination of noir antiheroes, comic-book melodrama, and a surprisingly deep investigation of free will.

But it is Woody Allen who helms the most anticipated TV offering this year. Amazon’s Crisis in Six Scenes teams Allen with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Elaine May in a show that explores a volatile time in American history. It’s hard to imagine arch-cineaste Allen doing television, but it’s also further recognition of the new power the small screen has gained. It premieres September 30.

And on October 2, we finally get to see what all the fuss was about the future. HBO’s Westworld has been years in the making, based on a very mediocre 1973 Michael Crichton sci-fi horror film, but the combined talent employed in making the remake is astounding, including Christopher Nolan’s brainy brother and writing partner Jonathan collaborating with J.J. Abrams on a lavish, epic look at artificial intelligence. It stars Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, and Evan Rachel Wood, just for starters.

And finally, everybody say, “Auwhhh!” Gilmore Girls is coming back November 25. One of the best-written of the old-school shows — by Amy Sherman-Palladino, no relation — the new show is a four-part “movie,” and where she leads, we couch potatoes will follow.

Variety

Storks (89 mins., PG) In this animated feature, storks now shuttle packages around the globe for an international Internet company. But when the Baby Making Machine accidently spits out a human bundle of joy, stork Junior (Andy Samberg) must deliver her before his boss finds out.

“MIRACLE OF A FILM” The New York Times

Fairview/Fiesta 5 (Opens Thu., Sept. 22)

SCREENINGS OFatima (79 mins., NR) French-Algerian writer/director Philippe Faucon’s wondrous film, about an impoverished single Algerian emigrant mother and her two very different daughters, tells its simple tale with an admirable and magnetic subtlety throughout. Larger points about the hardships and oppressions of the immigrant life in France and elsewhere linger in the margins of what is a beautiful, painful, ultimately heartwarming slice of life from the vantage of the presumed “other.” (JW)

Sun.-Wed., Sept. 18-21, Riviera

The Wild Life a plot eventually and a lot of weird lessons learned. (DJP) Fairview/Fiesta 5

Florence Foster Jenkins (110 mins., PG-13)

Real-life New York heiress and socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (1868-1944) dreamed of being an opera star— star despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune. Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant star.

Plaza de Oro

Nefarious: Merchant of Souls

O Hell or High Water

(96 mins., NR)

This grim-toned tale of two bankrobbing brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) and the sheriff (Jeff Bridges) who tries to stop them is something more than a shoot-’em-up. With a taut soundtrack and starkly southwestern cinematography, the film has enough gravitas and emotional ambiguity to give it an air of greatness. (RD)

Sex trafficking doesn’t just occur in third-world countries; it also exists here in S.B. County. To increase awareness of the issue, Benji Nolot made this documentary film. Nolot will be at the screening for questions and answers.

Fri., Sept. 16, 7pm. First Baptist Church, 949 Veronica Springs Rd.

(102 mins., R)

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

NOW SHOWING O Bad Moms

(101 mins., R)

Mila Kunis stars as an overworked, under-joyed mom who decides to live a little more freely. The jokes are goodnatured 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) Metro 4 The Disappointments Room

Jason Bourne (123 mins., PG-13) Welcome back to the gray-green world of Paul Greengrass’s mighty moneymaking Bourne franchise. 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) Metro 4 Kubo and the Two Strings

(92 mins., R)

(101 mins., PG)

D.J. (Disturbia) Caruso’s The Disappoint Disappointments Room opens in that most conventional horror-movie fashion: A family, mysteriously wounded, head to a remote old house expecting to piece back their old lives. Maybe it’s not the Overlook from The Shining Shining, but the creaking sounds and found toys soon tell a story about the building’s dysfunctions, too.

What follows is uncanny, a bit scary, but far too loosely constructed to be taken as terror. Kate Beckinsale is most of the show, and the rest of the goods are thefts from Kubrick and Argento. (DJP)

The stop-motion-animated feature follows a young villager named Kubo, who is thrown into an adventure when he accidentally summons an ancient and vindictive spirit and must uncover his samurai legacy.

Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)

Camino Real/Metro 4

Don’t Breathe (88 mins., R) Thieving young rapscallions get more than they bargained for when the owner of the home they invade turns out to be a a man with a sixth sense for murder. Though well-made and wellacted, it’s essentially a long chase scene.

(RD) Camino Real/Metro 4

The Light Between Oceans (133 mins., PG-13)

Alicia Vikander plays a lighthouse keeper’s wife on an island called Janus in between two oceans. Immediately after her second miscarriage a live baby washes up on the shore in a small boat, and the couple decides to keep her.

Then the director loses his nerve and ends it as a twitchy forgiveness lesson.

It’s a tear-jerking but frustrating film; a better director might have made this great. (DJP) Plaza de Oro

O No manches Frida

(100 mins., PG-13)

This Mexican studio’s remake of a German film that is a nicely askew take on Asphalt Jungle and To Sir with Love.

There are lots of funny slapstick skits, some politically incorrect, that veer into

Pete’s Dragon (102 mins., PG) In this Disney remake of the 1977 film, forest ranger Grace Meacham (Bryce Dallas Howard) happens upon a young boy who has been living in the woods with a dragon named Elliot. When Grace tries to find out who Pete really is, dragon hunters make plans to capture Elliot.

UPCOMING FILMS DEMON The final work by Marcin Wrona SAND STORM 12x Ophir Award Nominations

Suicide Squad (123 mins., PG-13) This is all flab: despite some great work

by Margot Robbie and Will Smith, Suicide Squad feels like a long, discursive intro followed by a prolonged preface, until we realize this gunk is going to be the movie. (DJP) Fairview (2D)

OSully (96 mins., PG-13) In Sully Sully, Tom Hanks plays Chesley Sullenberger, the beloved pilot who in 2009 crash-landed a U.S. Airways flight in the Hudson River, saving all aboard. Much of the humbly tempered movie concentrates on Sully’s behind-the-scenes wrangling with PTSD and insurance suits who grill him on his competency.

In the end, heroism triumphs in a gently inspiring if crowd-pleasingly dull way, and Sully is a welcome reminder of unambiguous human goodness. (RD) Arlington/Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): What should you do if your allies get bogged down by excess caution or lazy procrastination? Here’s what I advise: Don’t confront them or berate them. Instead, cheerfully do what must be done without their help. And what action should you take if mediocrity begins to creep into collaborative projects?

Try this: Figure out how to restore excellence, and cheerfully make it happen. And how should you proceed if the world around you seems to have fallen prey to fear-induced apathy or courage-shrinking numbness? My suggestion: Cheerfully kick the world’s butt — with gentle but firm good humor.

(June 21-July 22): “Dear Soul Doctor: I have been trying my best to body-surf the flood of feelings that swept me away a few weeks ago. So far I haven’t drowned! That’s good news, right? But I don’t know how much longer I can stay afloat. It’s hard to maintain so much concentration. The power and volume of the surge doesn’t seem to be abating. Are there any signs that I won’t have to do this forever? Will I eventually reach dry land? - Careening Crab.” Dear Careening: Five or six more days, at the most: You won’t have to hold out longer than that. During this last stretch, see if you can enjoy the ride more. Re-imagine your journey as a rambunctious adventure rather than a harrowing ordeal. And remember to feel grateful: Not many people have your capacity to feel so deeply.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Brainwashing” is a word with negative connotations. It refers to an intensive indoctrination that scours away a person’s convictions and replaces them with a new set of rigid beliefs. But I’d like to propose an alternative definition for your use in the coming days. According to my astrological analysis, you now have an extraordinary power to thoroughly wash your own brain — thereby flushing away toxic thoughts and trashy attitudes that might have collected there. I invite you to have maximum fun as you make your inner landscape clean and sparkly.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): For the foreseeable future, your main duty is to be in love. Rowdily and innocently in love. Meticulously and shrewdly in love. In love with whom or what? Everyone and everything — or at least with as much of everyone and everything as you can manage. I realize this is a breathtaking assignment that will require you to push beyond some of your limitations and conjure up almost superhuman levels of generosity. But that’s exactly what the cosmic omens suggest is necessary if you want to break through to the next major chapter of your life story.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What do you hope to be when you are all grown up, Gemini? An irresistible charmer who is beloved by many and owned by none? A master multi-tasker who’s paid well for the art of never being bored? A versatile virtuoso who is skilled at brokering truces and making matches and tinkering with unique blends? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to entertain fantasies like these — to dream about your future success and happiness. You are likely to generate good fortune for yourself as you brainstorm and play with the pleasurable possibilities. I invite you to be as creative as you dare.

Homework: Read my response to the periodic Internet rumors that astrology is based on wrong assumptions, and that there’s a 13th sign: bit. ly/13thsignhoax.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If there can be such a thing as a triumphant loss, you will achieve it sometime soon. If anyone can slink in through the back door but make it look like a grand entrance, it’s you. I am in awe of your potential to achieve auspicious reversals and medicinal redefinitions. Plain old simple justice may not be available, but I bet you’ll be able to conjure up some unruly justice that’s just as valuable. To assist you in your cagey maneuvers, I offer this advice: Don’t let your prowess make you overconfident, and always look for ways to use your so-called liabilities to your advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Caution: You may soon be exposed to outbreaks of peace, intelligence, and mutual admiration. Sweet satisfactions might erupt unexpectedly. Rousing connections could become almost routine, and useful revelations may proliferate.

Are you prepared to fully accept this surge of grace?

Or will you be suspicious of the chance to feel soulfully successful? I hope you can find a way to at least temporarily adopt an almost comically expansive optimism. That might be a good way to ensure you’re not blindsided by delight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): My astrological divinations suggest that a lightning storm is headed your way, metaphorically speaking. But it shouldn’t inconvenience you much — unless you do the equivalent of getting drunk, stumbling out into the wasteland, and screaming curses toward heaven. (I don’t recommend that.)

For best results, consider this advice: Take shelter from the storm, preferably in your favorite sanctuary. Treat yourself to more silence and serenity than you usually do. Meditate with the relaxed ferocity of a Zen monk high on Sublime Emptiness. Got all that? Now here’s the best part: Compose a playfully edgy message to God, telling Her about all the situations you want Her to help you transform during the next 12 months.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Novelist Tom Robbins said this about my work: “I’ve seen the future of American literature and its name is Rob Brezsny.” Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei testified, “Rob Brezsny gets my nomination for best prophet in a starring role. He’s a script doctor for the soul.” Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz declared,“Rob Brezsny writes everybody’s favorite astrology column. I dig him for his powerful yet playful insights, his poetry and his humor.” Are you fed up with my boasts yet, Sagittarius? I will spare you from further displays of egomania under one condition: You have to brag about yourself a lot in the coming days — and not just

with understated little chirps and peeps. Your expressions of self-appreciation must be lush, flamboyant, exultant, witty, and sincere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By normal standards, your progress should be vigorous in the coming weeks. You may score a new privilege, increase your influence, or forge a connection that boosts your ability to attract desirable resources. But accomplishments like those will be secondary to an even more crucial benchmark: Will you understand yourself better? Will you cultivate a more robust awareness of your strengths and weaknesses, your needs and your duties? Will you get clear about what you have to learn and what you have to jettison?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m confident that you would never try to sneak through customs with cocaine-laced goat meat or a hundred live tarantulas or some equally prohibited contraband. Please use similar caution as you gear up for your rite of passage or metaphorical border crossing. Your intentions should be pure and your conscience clear. Any baggage you take with you should be free of nonsense and delusions. To ensure the best possible outcome, arm yourself with the highest version of brave love that you can imagine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Should you be worried if you have fantasies of seducing a deity, angel, or superhero?

Will it be weird if some night soon you dream of an erotic rendezvous with a mermaid, satyr, or centaur?

I say no. In fact, I’d regard events like these as healthy signs. They would suggest that you’re ready to tap into mythic and majestic yearnings that have been buried deep in your psyche. They might mean your imagination wants to steer you toward experiences that will energize the smart animal within you. And this would be in accordance with the most exalted cosmic tendencies. Try saying this affirmation: “I am brilliantly primal. I am wildly wise. I am divinely surprising.”

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 10/06/2016 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.
